BOY IN AMERICA TO CLAIM THRONE
NOW LIVING IN NEW YORK.
If Woman's Claim Can Be Established a Contest Will Be Made—Prince Rudolph and Marie Vetsera Were Found Mysteriously Shot in Austria in 1889.
New York.—Out of the confusion that has arisen from the assassination of Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, and his magnificent wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, arises the interesting report that a small boy, now being educated in the United States, will lay claim to the throne of Austria.
This boy is Rudolph, son of Mrs. Alma Vetsera Hayne, who claims she is the daughter of Crown Prince Rudolph and Marie Vetsera, who were found dead together in a hunting lodge at Meyerling, Austria, in 1889.
Mrs. Hayne, who married a Canadian stockbroker, George Osborne Hayne, and subsequently divorced him, has persisted that she is the offspring of the morganatic union of Prince Rudolph and Marie Vetsera, and she named her son after the man she claims for her sir.
The probability of formal claim now being made to the Austrian succession on behalf of this boy is all the stronger because of the persistence with which aged emperor of Austria contends for the Hapsburg sultan. When Crown Prince Rudolph contracted his morganatic marriage he forced him to renounce all claim to the throne, offering the succession to his own brother, Carl Ludwig. When Lad

wig declined the honor the succession was passed along to the latter's son, Francis Ferdinand, who was slain the other day.
When Francis Ferdinand contracted his morganatic marriage the emperor made him renounce all right to the throne for his possible heirs. His death, Mrs. Hayne now believes, opens the way clearly for the claims of her son, Rudolph, and there is every reason to believe that she intends pushing Mrs. Hayne is a beautiful Austrian and came to this country for the first time about two years ago. She asserts that she is the child of the tragic love affair which resulted in the deaths of Prince Rudolph and Marie Vetsera. She says her husband often declared that she was the "rueest of all the Hapsburgs."
On June 5 Mrs. Hayne returned to this country and told several of the passengers aboard the liner that she had decided to renounce her title of Princess Vetsera and that she expected to live in America so that she might educate her son in the way she wishes. "I don't want to live any longer on the earth," she declared. "There are too many unhappy associations with Europe for me. I am building a home in New York, and I intend to make a bome that I can enjoy in the real sense."
This woman has had rather a romantic life, especially since she first came to the United States. After being woed by many suitors she finally married George Osborne Hayne in Toronto in 1907, but three years later Hayne sued for divorce, naming Justin B. McDougall, son of a Canadian capitalist. This trouble, however, came to an end when McDougall's father had him arrested, and he was later put in an insane asylum. When Hayne heard of this he hurried to New York to effect a reconciliation with his wife.
ALL MODEST CROWS FLEE.
Figure of Woman In Modern Attire Horrifies the Pests.
Marnette, Wls.-Crows had been working great havoc with the newly planted cornfields of Howard Smithson, a young farmer, until he went to Milwaukee and got an idea from the fashions disported by women.
He went back and made a transformation of a male scarecrow with which the crowds had become so friendly that they perched on its mimic gun. Upper part of the figure he dressed with a necked garment and the lower part with a feathered garment. He fashioned the hair over the creeper, hiding the ears, and upon the bead he set a waving plume.
Soon after a flock of crows came hovering over the field. They were just preparing to alight when they beheld such a figure as had never before met their gaze. With one mighty caw they flew away.
If you don't believe it ask Smithson.
OBJECTS TO FIVE YARD KISS.
Embrace Shouldn't Exceed Yard of
Film. Save Woman Censor.
Philadelphia.—A kiss more than a yard long on a moving picture film, or thirty-six seconds, as oculatory embraces are usually measured, will be barred benceforty by the new state moving picture censorship board if Mrs. Cyrus Niver, its only woman member, has her way. Mrs. Niver has spent several weeks watching and measuring kisses in romantic drama films.
As a result she is convinced that an embrace occupying five yards of perfectly good film, such as she has seen, should be reduced by four yards, inasmuch as thirty-six seconds, or one yard of kiss, is enough for any reasonable occlusion.
AT 69 WEDS HANDY MAN.
Husband Is Seventy-six, but He Will Milk Cows and Do Chores.
Kansas City, Kan.-John G. Beck,
seventy-six years old, of Kansas City,
Mo., and Mrs. Lydia Reeves, sixty-
nine years old, of this city, were
married in Kansas City, Kan.
"I've got a cow at home, and I
thought it would be handy to have
some one to get up in the morning
and milk it for me." Mrs. Reeves told H.
P. McPherson, license clerk, while
they were getting the license.
"I became acquainted with Mr.
Beck through an old soldier friend of
his at the Soldier's Home Leaven-
worth," said the bride. "It was love
at first sight, and, besides, it's handy
to have a man around the house."
ARMY OFFERS PRIZES
FOR BEST AEROPLANES
To Divide $30,000 Among
Three Winners.
Washington. After having been hand-capped for years by congress in their efforts to keep abreast of aeronautics in the armies of the world, officials of the war department at last have obtained a suitable appropriation and have arranged important plans for designing the army aeronautic corps. With an annual budget of $25,000 available, Brigadier General George P. Scriven, chief signal officer, with the aid of Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Ruber, assistant chief, has drawn up plans for a general competition among American inventors and builders of aeroplanes.
A purse of $20,000 is announced to be awarded among the best three machines, each of a distinctive type. For the machine of first merit $12,000 will be paid, for the second $10,000 and for the third $8,000. Part of the appropriation will be spent in buying a score of other aeroplanes of the most desirable type at regular prices. It is estimated that the additional machines can be bought from $5,000 to each from the manufacturer, or possibly from the army may obtain the exclusive right of building its own machines at less cost.
The remarkable strides in aviation made within the last few years by the more progressive European armies have spurred the army authorities to the determination to build a formidable fleet of aeroplanes. The successful operation of aeroplanes in the recent Balkan wars and in Mexico has demonstrated, to their minds, the necessity of American air force longer remaining behind those of Europe in the respect. The work of the American naval aeronauts at Vera Cruz has been pronounced by both army and navy experts as a demonstration of their practicability and undisputed value in time of war.
WATER WAGON KILLS OWL.
Eight Years Without Drink, Succumbs to Draft.
Vineland, N. J.—A pet horned owl belonging to Mrs. Frank W. Flood, which had not tasted water for eight years, got a drink the other night because the weather was so warm. Immediately the bird went into convulsions. Sinking its talons through Mrs. Flood's hand, it died, with the death clutch so tight that Dr. George Cunningham had to be sent for to release the woman and dress the wound.
The fancier of whom the Floods bought the bird said water would have the same effect on the bird it has on a mad dog.

New Regulations Effective Oct. 1 Preserve Closed Seasons
Washington.—Ameedmets to the department of agriculture's regulations for the protection of migratory birds will become effective Oct. 1.
The effect of one of the changes is to permit on the Missouri and the upper waters of Mississippi the shooting of all migratory game birds for which there is an open season from Oct. 1, 1914, to Jan. 1, 1915. After the latter date the prohibition will be in force again. Other amendments deal principally with the closed season for water fowl in various localities.
The new regulations provide for a closed season in zone No. 1 for all waterfowl from Dec. 16 to Sept. 1 next following. Exceptions to the rule prescribe the open season as follows: In Massachusetts and Rhode Island, between Jan. 1 and Oct. 1; Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Idaho, Oregon and Washington, between Jan. 16 and Oct. 1; New Jersey, between Feb. 1 and Nov. 1; Minnesota, North Feb. 1, South Dakota and Wisconsin, between Dec. 1 and Sept. 7.
For zone No. 2 the closed season is between Jan. 16 and Oct. 1, with the following exceptions: Delaware, Mary, District of Columbia, Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Missouri, and Louisiana between Feb. 1 and Nov. 1; Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, between Feb. 16 and Nov. 20; Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, between Feb. 1 and Sept. 15; Texas, Arizona and California, between Feb. 1 and Oct. 15.
FIRE DRILL IN A CHURCH.
Twelve Hundred Boston Worshipers
Get Out In Record Time
Boston—Sarah Peter the church Meeting house hill, was interrupted by the Right Rev. Peter Ronan the other day to give the 1,200 assembled men, women and children instructions in leaving the church in case of fire. At a sign from their pastor the parishoners all left the church in two and one-half minutes.
The congregation was divided into five groups, each group taking a separate exit. The pastor's instructions were: "Walk lively, but don't crowd. Waste no time, but do not run."
In explaining the purpose of the drill the pastor said: "Our schools have proved to be necessary and satisfactory. There is no reason why they should not be just as necessary in our churches and other public buildings."
YOUTHS FIGHT DUEL
ON TOP OF MOUNTAIN
One Will Die as Result of Premeditated Fight.
Freeling, Va.—Two men climbed the historic Cumberland mountain and fought a pistol duel that will, result in the death of at least one. The participants were James Vanover and Anderson Estep, who had been friends and neighbors since childhood. They fought chasing each other's left hand. There were no witnesses to the duel.
The battle resulted because Vanover objected to the attentions of Estep to his sister, a comely young woman. The men, both of whom are well connected and prosperous, met here, having come into town from their homes to buy supplies. Persons who saw them on the street did not notice any conversation. After a few minutes they rode to Cumberland mountain, near Osborne's gap, and fought. Vanover was shot through the body twice, and Estep was wounded three times. After the duels returned here, Estep had been attentive to Miss Nina Vanover for some time. He had been warned repeatedly by the young woman's family that his attentions were not acceptable. Estep, who had no weapon, went into a local hardware store and purchased a weapon of heavy caliber and the latest make. According to Estep, Vanover was shot at the second fire, both having missed the first shot in their haste and excitement. They agreed on a second shot in their haste and drew up Estep. Vanover staggered and felt heavily against his shoulder, causing his weapon to "dip up," the bullet from the heavy revolver plowing a deep gash in Estep's shoulder.
Though suffering from a mortal wound and scarcely able to stand, Vanover readily agreed to a third shot, which both men missed. After the last fire Vanover fainted from loss of blood, and Estep thought he was dead. For this reason he came into Freeliving with the intention, so he claims, of vanover to the sheriff. Shortly after vanover to, came down from the mountain, staggering and weak from loss of blood.
Peaks Named For Senators.
Washington—Three high peaks in the fairwinter range on the Alaskan boundary, near Mount St. Elias, have been named for Senator Root of New York; Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and ex-Senator Turner of Washington. The three senators were members of the Alaska boundary tribunal in London in 1003. Large photographs of the peaks have been given to Mr. Root and Mr. Lodge by Superintendent Titman of the geodetic survey, who was secretary of the American commission.
PLEASANT. AND PROFITABLE.
Vacations Utilized in Study How to Be a Real Soldier—Instruction Given by Trained Army Officers—Members to Be Made Officers—Call For Volunteers Is necessary.
Washington—Many college students are following a soldier's life this summer. Fifteen hundred are taking advantage of the training offered by the war department in four student camps. Representatives of about 200 colleges and universities throughout the country took the opportunity of spending a month under canvas.
Preparatory school students are also enrolled in the camps, which are open to all students and graduates of colleges or high schools between the ages of seventeen and thirty years.
In carrying out this scheme the war department has afforded a means where the college may acquire offices in case of war and at the same time thoroughly enjoy the summer vacation. While the work at the camps will not be all play, there will be ample opportunity for the students to enjoy themselves in games and other recreations. Most

SECRETARY GARRISON.
of the work is done in the morning, leaving the afternoon largely free for the men to use as they see fit.
This method worked out so successfully at the camps last summer that the army officials decided to prescribe it for this year's camps. While many men turned out last year, the number was greatly increased when the camps opened. The low cost of the month's outing, together with the great value of the instruction offered and the physical benefits, have proved a big inducement to collegians. The total expense for equipment and other necessities amounts to less than $20.
The war department has indorsed the camps in the following statement:
"The establishment of these student camps has marked the adoption of a policy tending to promote a closer understanding between the army and the civilian population of the country and to give the college student an insight into the nature of war and methods which will be of value to this as a citizen. Students will, as at West Point, be on a cadet status."
The camps are located at Burlington, Vt.; Ludington, Mich.; Asheville, N. C.; and Monterey, Cal.
Specially instructed officers have been detailed by the war department to give the collegians attending the camps a short course of wide range in military instruction. Target practice features the work in the camps. The National Title Association of America, in partnership with the military membership, has offered medals for the students doing the best work.
Companies at the camps are made up, as far as possible, of students of the same university. All companies are commanded by regular army officers, who are aided by subaltern officers selected from among the students themselves, preference being given to students of the previous camps. The discipline exacted is strict and rigorous. The students are on a cadet status. The courtesy due prospective officers, but subject to all rules and regulations of the camp.
Practical cavalry and field artillery instruction is given, besides the series of informal talks, tactical walks and war games, conducted by competent officers, dealing with such subjects as the theoretical principles of tactics, including advance and rear guards, patrols, outposts and combat.
Secretary of War Garrison. General Wood and other army officers have worked hard to make the camps this year a success. Secretary Garrison in the Army recently declared that in case of an emergency they would need from 6,000 to 8,000 young men as officers of volunteers. The best classes to draw from, he holds, are the educated young men from the colleges and universities. All they lack, he says, is the military instruction. This is what the camps furnish.
MUCH GAME IN MICHIGAN.
48,000 Deer In the State, 5,000 Bears
and Only 34 Moose.
Only 34 moose.
Marquette, Mich.-According to J. H. McGillivray, deputy state forestry warden, there are 48,000 deer in Michigan—44,000 in the northern part and 4,000 in the northern part. The area south of the strait of Mackinac.
Mr. McGillivray says there are known to be thirty-four moose in the state. He estimates the number of wild animals and birds, other than deer, as follows: Rabbits, 2,500,000; raccoons, 50,000; mink, 70,000; foxes, 100,000; polecats, 170,000; otters, 18,000; beavers, 8,000; bears, 5,000; partridges, 500,000.
He suggests that hunting in the southern peninsula be prohibited for five years and that at the close of that period the killing of deer be restricted to those with moose.
It is the purpose of the state game and forestry warden's department to introduce the ringed neck pheasant in Michigan. This bird was loosed in For several years ago for the first time, and now so multiplied that the legislature completes an open season for it. The pheasant will be established in Michigan in the game refuges, provision for the institution of which was made by the last legislature. Private individuals have donated considerable money and much land for the establishment of breeding places.
WOULD BE SMALLEST MAYOR.
Fort Worth Judge, Three Feet Nine Inches, Has Political Ambitions.
Fort Worth, Tex. - Judge C. J. Daugherty, seventy-two, height three feet nine inches and weight seventy-two pounds, opened his campaign for mayor of Fort Worth by an address in the police court room in the city hall.
He has views of municipal affairs to a mixed audience until Judge Bardin required the room for court purposes.
According to Judge Daugherty's platform, he stands for regulation of the prices of merchandise and other advanced steps. His cards announce that his candidacy is subject to the action of the independent party. The reverse side announces his physical proportion to the county judge of Callahan county, six feet county judge of Reeves county and a "clean record, independent of all cliques, clans and parties."
UNITED STATES LEADS THE WORLD IN WEALTH
Statistician Proves American Superiority Over All.
London.-The wealth of the United States—income producing property of all kinds, including land, factories and railroads—is now not far from double that of any other country on earth, according to Sir George Palish of the Statist. He figures that the increase in wealth of the four chief nations in the last century has been 580 per cent in Britain, 400 per cent in France, 700 per cent in Germany and 500 per cent in the United States. The wealth of these countries now stands, he says, as follows:
France ..... $50,000,000
Germany ..... $80,000,000
Britain ..... $65,000,000
United States ..... 150,000,000
The increases in population in these four countries in the last century have been as follows: One hundred and thirty per cent in Britain, 33 per cent in France, 180 per cent in Germany and 1,125 per cent in the United States. The annual savings of these peoples is now as follows:
France ..... $1,000,000,000
Germany ..... $1,000,000,000
Britain ..... $2,000,000,000
United States ..... 4,000,000
The expansion of banking and credits, Sir George says, is responsible for the vast increases in national wealth and industrial development. About $2,250,000 of British money is now employed in the discount of international bills, and at least $20,000,000 of British capital is yearly invested in colonial and foreign countries. France yearly invests over $400,000 abroad and $100,000 abroad thus invested. Germany's foreign investments are $250,000 a year and now total $8,000,000,000.
In the whole of North and South America there is now invested $20,000,000,000 of foreign capital, including the investments of the United States in Mexico, Canada and other countries. About $6,000,000,000 of foreign capital is invested in the United States; $3,500,000,000 invested in Canada; $2,500,000,000 in Argentina, and $1,500,000,000 in Brazil; $2,500,000,000 in Australia and New Zealand, and $2,500,000,000 in South Africa. About $4,000,000,000 of foreign capital is invested in Russia.

A "CRUSOE" IN LAKE ERIE.
Had Been Marooned by Stranger and Left Without Food.
Middle Bass Island, O.—That he was taken to Middle Sister island. Lake Erie, three weeks ago by a man who said he owned the place and who left him food enough to last a week, but who never returned, is the story told by Henry Adair, affy, who says he lives in Detroit, brought here by members of a fishing party who rescued him in what appears was the nick of time.
· Members of the party fishing in Lake Erie off Middle Sister island, isolated near the Canadian line seventeen miles from here, were attracted by the frantic waving of a shirt. Drawing closer, they discovered Adair. He was emaciated and starving. All he had left of his store of food was a few crusts of bread.
Adair told his rescuers that a man accrued him in Detroit and asked if he wanted employment. He said he was to have been employed to look after the premises, although he found on arriving on the island there was practically nothing to look after.
His scanty food supply was sked out with clams he found in the sand. His days he spent trying to signal help from passing boats.
KILLS AN EAGLE IN A TRAP
Bird Was a Huge One and Boldly Attacked Hunter.
Edmonton, Alberta.-Tom E. Mason, a fur trapper, has come to Edmonton for medical treatment, following a fierce fight with a golden eagle, which clawed and pecked his face, neck and left shoulder and arm. He killed the bird, which had a spread of wings of eight feet two inches from tip to tip.
"I was attracted to a trap," Mason said by a strange noise, and as I got closer I saw a huge golden eagle held by one foot.
"My first thought was to release the bird, not thinking that it would venture an attack, but that is where I was fooled. I was quickly made aware of the fact when I was sprawled upon my back with the eagle and the trap on top of me."
New York.—It is not an easy thing for a girl to win a tennis championship. But the hardest work is not done around the nets while the contest is actually on; it is keeping in physical condition for such a match.
Miss Clare Cassel of this city, national indoor tennis doubles champions, has compiled twelve rules which she, she deserves, must be rigidly adhered to because she is the tennis player. They are: First, no golf; second, no candy; third, no dancing; fourth, no cigarettes; fifth, no reading at night; sixth, no wine or cocktails; seventh, no swimming on match days; eighth, massage after each day's play; ninth, luncheon on a glass of milk and a sandwich; tenth, plenty of rallying exercise before each match; eleventh, drinking nothing during a match except bake water; twelfth, bed at 10 p. m. and nine full hours' undisturbed necessity.
Miss Cassel in telling of the work necessary to keep in condition and the strength necessary for a game says:
"No matter how primed a man really is, a five set match finds him all in. He has to play harder to win—or lose—than any man who goes through nine innings of baseball. A championship match with the players even and the score often running to dence games. The nine sets will find both men utterly successful. The play it makes many more demands; the players than two halves of varsity football.
"And if tennis means this for men perhaps one may imagine what it means for women and girls. If you play to win matches, if you long for the brackets which proclaim you a champion of your club or your county or your state, you must be ready to be grueled week in and week out, for tennis of that class is a grueling game. "Consider the girls and young married women who follow the tournaments from place to place all the live season. It may be five months of training and self denial, five months of the hardest kind of work from June through October. And then they must play indoors at least twice a week all winter long if they would keep in form."
WED IN HENCOOP, JAIL NOW.
Judge Tells Wife Deserter He Deserves to Be Cooped Up.
Kansas City, Mo.-Charles Summer, a clerk, married a year ago in a chicken coop before 10,000 persons at a chicken show in Convention hall. was remanded to the county jail on a charge of wife abandonment. At a hearing in a justice court Mrs. Summer said she believed only the novelty of marriage led Summer into matrimony. A committee gave Mr. and Mrs. Summer a dozen chickens and the coop for consent to the novel marriage. Justice Welch in remanding Summer to jail said: "Any man who has the nerve to be married in a chicken coop before 10,000 persons belongs in a coop."

CAILLAUX TRIAL EXCITES FRANCE
Outcome May Shape Nation's Political Destinies.
Member of Radical Element Which Has Rulled Country For Years Past. Defiant Woman Confident of Acquitial—Sure Husband Will Continue In Public Life.
Paris. All France is in a fever of excitement on the eve of the trial of Mme. Caillaux, the beautiful wife of Joseph Caillaux, for the murder of Gaston Calmette, who was editor of Le Figaro. The killing was the culmination of a series of attacks made on the reputation of the woman's husband, who at the time was minister of finance.
The trial of a beautiful woman, a member of one of the most prominent families, socially, politically and financially, on a murder charge is alone enough to arouse unprecedented interest. But this trial is more than that—it is a contest between two factions in France the result of which will determine the political destinies of the country.
Mme. Caillaux is now in jail, where she has been confined since the shooting. She is a brave woman, has no fear of the ultimate end of the trial, and faces her enemies with the same defiance that distinguished her before the shooting. Favors have been shown the beginning of her prison life. Special meals are served in her luxurious cell. It is magnificently furnished.
Soon after the tragedy unrest arose in the French cabinet. Several attempts have been made to organize a cabinet, but failure was the result. How long the present cabinet will serve no one can conjecture. France has been governed for years by the Radical party. The country has insensibly grown to look upon the Radicals
LATEST PICTURE OF MMB. CAILLAUK.
as its unavoidable, almost natural, governors. When one Radical cabinet falls another is ready to take its place—other with a slight difference of political shade, a different set of names, tactics somewhat altered, but, on the whole, working out identically the same program.
One of the greatest importance among the Radical Socialists is Joseph Caillaux, the wealthy financier, former minister of finance, present chairman of the Radical party and future—who knows what not? The murder of Le Figaro's editor, Gaston Calmette, by Mme. Caillaux temporarily prevents this extraordinarily ambitious man from stepping to the front in the politics of his country, in spite of his having been re-elected to the chamber by an overwhelming majority last April, barely a month after the tragedy at the Figaro office.
Outside the district he represents Caillaux is not popular in France. Calmette, who is the chairman of the Figaro, are generally considered well founded. He is too clever a financier to be an absolutely honest politician. While he was in power he succeeded in increasing his personal fortune at an enormous rate, holding as he did the financial secrets of the country and speculating with perfect safety.
Furthermore, he has tapped the large banks in the management of which he had a hand while he was finance minister of enormous sums to constitute an election fund. He gathered millions in this fund, and when elections came the advanced Radical candidates were given liberal support. In those districts where there were three candidates—one Reactionary, one Socialist—the two were tied. The last was financed by the election fund under color of forming a coalition of advanced Republicans to fight the "enemies of the republic." Big words like this are still being used to good effect in France, although every one knows that the monarchists and imperialists have dwindled enough in number and in power to become but negligible enemies.

THE DEATH OF A MAN
There recently died in Chicago, an Afro-American who was every inch a man. In these latter days when the Windy City has been overrun by jimcrowists, self-seekers at the expense of the race, self-segregationists, separate Christian association builders and others steeped in servility, a character like John G. Jones stands out in all its greatness and brilliance. In the olden days he fought every exhibition of hostility to his people, to a finish. So great was his indignation when his people were wronged, and so vigorous was his fight against every form of jimcrowism that he earned for himself the sobriquet of "Indignation Jones."
While in a lowly calling he earned and saved enough money to pay his tuition in a law school and after several years was admitted to the bar and built up a paying practice. He was prominent in Masonic circles and was received with great honors by members of the craft when he visited Europe some years ago.
Although somewhat dark in complexion he knew that he was not a Negro and resented being addressed as one and insisted on being called an American. He acted as an American citizen, demanded all the rights of American citizenship and he seldom got to get his rights.
Jones was absolutely unafraid. Many years ago when he was a member of the Illinois legislature, he refused to vote for the late S. M. Cullom for United States Senator, because he felt that Cullom had not been square in his dealings with his Afro-American constituents. Every possible influence was brought to bear on Jones by the then powerful Republican machine to induce him to give his vote to Cullom. He was cajoled and threatened but he stood like adamant and even after Cullom had been elected and a motion was made to make the election unanimous, Jones refused to change and registered his vote against the man he believed to
PROTEST AGAINST WRONG
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men.
The human race has climbed on protest.
Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our last disputes.
The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.

be infimical to the rights of the Afro- American people. It is sad to say that there are few men with John G. Jones' strength of character left in Chicago. The cringing sycophants have come and prejudice has increased by leaps and bounds.
On July 3 the New York Evening Journal published a picture containing three figures, viz: Jack Johnson, an orang-outang and a leopard. It also published an editorial in substitution of the statement that "ABILITY TO WIN IN A PHYSICAL FIGHT IS PROOF OF INFERIORITY," and further says, "not deplorable, but encouraging, is the fact that no white man can be found to beat this tail Negro." Years ago, to be an adept in "the manly art of self-defense" was considered one of the highest achievements for any man, yet nothing that has happened in a half century has so taken the conceit out of the Caucasian for "superiority" as the victories of Johnson in the "squared circle." In speaking of the heavy weight championship the white press has been looking to several "white hopes" to bring back the championship "where it rightfully belongs," but three times in succession, Johnson "carried home the bacon." Had Moran won the decision in France the other day, no such picture would have appeared in the New York Journal and no such editorial. It seems to us this is a case of "sour grapes," pure and simple. It makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored.
PLAYING WITH FIRE
The Afro-Americans in Atlantic City who are bending every energy to get a jimcrow principal for their jimcrow school ought to be in better business. They are making a great mistake. Instead of extending jimcrowism they ought to fight it and have the jimcrow school abolished as it is contrary to the laws of the state of New Jersey. Segregation NEVER plays. Perhaps the children of the men who are agitating this matter will curse them in the days to come and they will be justified in doing so.
Any man who at any time justifies and fights for the segregation of his people from other American citizens is not only an enemy of his race but he is also an enemy of the Republic. Caste begets caste. If the Afro-American people are segregated why not the Jews next? Then perhaps some numerically weak class of citizens of foreign birth. Then perhaps the rich and the poor will be separated in the schools. Who knows?
The jimcrow agitators of Atlantic City are playing with fire.
THE JEWS DID IT
The great wholesale drygoods house of H. B. Clafin & Co. has failed and the Jews did it.
Years ago A. T. Stewart the first great drygoods merchant prince of America, angered the Jews by refusing to receive them as guests at the Grand Hotel at Saratoga, of which he was the owner. Jewish merchants all over the country combined and in a few years forced him to the wall.
The Chaffin Company is really the reorganized Stewart business. For years Jewish merchants have been withdrawing their trade and when the pinch came Jewish bankers, remembering the insult to their people in the past, refused to furnish the money to enable the firm to tide over the trouble.
The Jews never forget an injury and who wrongs the race must pay the price.
Would that the Afro-American would lear to punish their enemies.
THE REASON WHY
Segregation has come to Louisville because the Afro-Americans in that

I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now.

city have not been aggressive in their fight against injustice.
Some years ago a proposal was made for a jimcrow library and it was accepted without protest.
Residential segregation came as a natural sequence.
The idea of the Caucasian fiends of the South is that persons with an admixture of African blood must be kept in a separate social status subject to their whims and caprices.
The Afro-Americans who accept public segregation in any form, WITHOUT PROTEST are doing themselves a great wrong and hanging a millstone about their children's necks.
EVERY KIND OF JIMCROWISM SHOULD BE FOUGHT TO A FINISH.
INTERMARRIAGE OF RACES ALL
RIGHT.
Intermarriage of whites with Japanese, Hindus and other orientals was defended by Professor Franz Boas of Columbia University, a noted anthropologist, in one of the series of lectures which he is delivering at the summer session of the University of California.
"All this feeling out here in California against the intermarriage of Americans and Japanese, as well as between whites and other oriental peoples, is simply foolish sentimentality, without the slightest biological foundation," Professor Boas said.
"Practically all the population of Europe is the product of the most widely divergent racial intermixtures. Humanity, fundamentally, is very nearly identical the world over, no matter what may be the color or race."
A ray, of hope may now reach the hearts of the faithful Afro-American Democrats. Representative Smith of Maryland called on President Wilson a few days ago to urge the appointment of a white man as Recorder or Deeds, of the District of Columbia, now held by Henry Lincoln Johnson, or was held by him prior to July 1. It is understood he was to resign July 1. President Wilson told Representative Smith that soon after his inauguration he promised to appoint only Afro-Americans to positions held by Afro-Americans whenever changes were made and he intended to do so. This was not done in the case of minister to Hayti, the best position held by an Afro-American and a few other less important places, but we suppose like Rip Waninkle, "we won't count those."
We'll see what we will see
This is the glorious 4th of July, the anniversary of the day that the great Declaration of Independence was signed, which declares, "all men are born free and equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, etc. etc." There are 10,000,000 good, loyal citizens of this country, to the manor born, to whom that Declaration now means nothing, therefore they are not very much enthused over the glorious 4th.
Frank Park, of Sylvester, Georgia, who was elected to fill the unexpired term of the famous jimcrowist, S. A. Roddenbery, who died last year, has signalized his entrance into the arena as a great statesman by introducing a bill in Congress which makes it unlawful for "negroes to be designated, elected or appointed as commissioned or non-commissioned officers in the army.
The New Age of Los Angeles calls attention of the Afro-American people of the country to the suit which S. W. Green, head of the Knights of Pythias, has instituted against the L. & N. R. R. of Florida, to recover damages for the assault perpetrated upon him while a passenger a year ago, and appeals to all to aid the Pythian order in pushing the matter.
SEEKING LAFITTE TREASURE.
Two Parties Have Chart Disclosing the Hoard's Whereabouts.
Gueydan, La.-A. an expedition, headed by Captain J. D. Bonnin, from Gueydan, is in the wilds of White lake, south of this place, in search of the treasure of Pirate Jean Lafitte. The party is composed of Dr. J. Milton White, Adam Brasseur and K. P. Foote, Captain J. D. Bonnin, a descendant of one of the oldest families of Vernilion parish, has a chart and map left him by his grandfather shortly before his death, describing the totality of the famous treasure.
On their trip the Gueydan party launch was hit by the steamer Bobby White. One end of the boat was damaged.
In White lake also are Frederick Mackenzie, magazine editor, and Charles Tenney Jackson, novelist. They claim to have the real Lafitte chart and started their hunt from New Orleans three weeks ago.
Still another party is on the treasure hunt, having started from Abbeville, La. Its identity has been kept secret, however.
CLIMATE'S EFFECT ON WHEAT
Interesting Experiments Made Prove Soil Is Secondary.
Washington. — Experiments conducted by the department of agriculture demonstrate that climate is the chief factor in determining the varying characteristics of wheat grown in different regions, it was announced.
To ascertain this experimenters grew wheat for six years in California, Kansas and Maryland on soil taken from each of these states. The results showed that all wheat grown in California, for example, was much alike, whether raised on soil of that state or on soil imported from Kansas and Maryland.
On the other hand, it differed considerably from the Kansas and Maryland wheat, no matter on what soil these were grown. In other words, it is stated the wheat grown on the three soils in one locality was similar in composition and appearance, but quite different from the same wheat grown on the same soils in the two other localities.
SENORA HUERTA'S LIFE AN ACTIVE ONE
SENORA HUERTA'S LIFE AN ACTIVE ONE
Urges Dictator to Hold on to the Presidency.
Mexico City.-The daily life of Senora Huerta, wife of the dictator who rules Mexico with an iron hand, is most interesting. Like her husband, she is fond of the social whirl and entertains on a lavish scale. Even while the country is torn with the war, her husband facing deposition at the hands of the United States on one side and

the rebel troops on the other, Senora Huerta does not give up her social activities.
She is fond of the things that her husband likes. On Sundays she attends the bulldogs, so popular in Mexico, and, like her husband, mingles freely with the masses. She can be frequently seen in the Mexican cafes in the evenings wining, dining and dancing, and one would little realize the great cares that hang over the shoulders of her soldier husband.
She loves her children dearly. Her son was recently married. The ceremony was performed about the time American Charge D'affaires O'Shaughnessy was handed his passports by the Mexican minister of foreign relations. Although representative of a hostile government, O'Shaughnessy, who is a close friend of the dictator's family, was urged to remain in Mexico City not as an official representative of the United States government, but rather as a private citizen, and attend the marriage of Senora Huerta's son. Her life is full of activity. She looks not to tomorrow and lives only for today. It is she, desirous of retaining the highest social position in all Mexico and of residing in the National palace, who urges the stanch old Indian to hold on to the last to defy the powers of the civilized world and fight for the retention of the position stained by blood of his predecessor.
Silence is Infamous.
Possibly the worst thing permitted to go on and work injury to Negroes, has been the silence of Negro speakers in the face of the infamous lies Ben. Tillman, Vardaman, Blease and others have been telling the North and West about Negroes raping white women. By all means they should be rebuked and their statements proved lies, because as it both sections believe, Sharon is the intelligent men and women of our race who allow these base calumniators to slander us.—Pinner Press, Martinsburg, W. Va.
ATTACKED BY WILDCAT.
Animal Killed In Air as It Leaped on Shoulders of Warden.
Bangor, Me.—The life of Game Warden E. S. Hodgkins was saved recently in the woods near here by the quickness and unerring aim of William Ryer, proprietor of a set of sporting camps at Hound Brook lake. The two men had been hunting wildcats with dogs and had killed two of the animals. They were standing under a tree when Mr. Ryer chanced to look upward.
Perched on a branch directly above the game warden was another cat, as large again as either of those that had been killed. The animal was creeping slowly forward, his lips drawn back over his glittering teeth and the look of a demon on his savage face. Just as Ryer's eye caught the cat the animal gave a start and leaped full for Warden Hodgkins, still unconscious of his danger. Ryer, shouting a busty cry of warning, whipped his 38 caliber revolver from his holster and fired while the cat was in the air. The bullet struck the animal between the eyes, and he dropped dead.
"It was the closest call I ever had, and I never want another like it." Warden Hodgkins said in telling of the affair.
SURGEONS MAKE AN EYELID
Patient Had Been Burned About the Head When a Child.
Baltimore.-A rare operation in optical surgery was performed at a hospital here when three large pieces of skin were taken from the arm of Miss Sarah Trego to make a new lid for her left eye. It is thought the sight of the eye, which was rapidly failing on account of exposure, will be saved by the operation. Already the grafted skin has started to take root, and the patient can partly open and close the eyelid.
After the skin was taken from Miss Trego's arm the scarred tissue surrounding the eye and the membrane of the lid were removed. In the denuded area the skin of the patient's arm was grafted.
BROKE LAST YEAR, NOW WORTH $83,000
Portland, Ore.—Dead brook less than a year ago and working at odd jobs cleaning basements and yards in this city and now worth $33,000, all of which was secured through his own efforts, is the experience of W. B. Connell, an Alaska miner. To H. A. Davie, deputy city attorney of this city, is largely due much of the credit for the good fortune which has befallen the lucky miner. Connell came to Davie last July with the story that he knew Judge Davie, the local attorney's father, who was formerly a judge in British Columbia. He had a hard luck story and pleaded for work. Davie gave him some odd jobs cleaning the yard and basement in his home, for which he paid the man $2. After the work was completed the stranger asked for $6 for railway fare to Seattle, from which place he intended to go to Alaska. The man appeared to be honest, and he gave Connell $6.
That was the last heard of the man until a few days ago, when he received a letter written from the White Horse river, Yukon territory. Connell said that he had reached Alaska and had gone to the Chisana gold fields and there had located on three claims.
"I have sold the three claims," writes Connell, "to a New York syndicate for $83,000-$12,000 cash, $40,000 in three months and the remainder in six months. So, taking everything into consideration, I have not done so awfully bad since last July, when I was flat broke. I shall certainly make it my business to visit Portland and see you and your family. I have a notion to quit the mining game, as $33,000 will keep me if I use it as it should be used. "By the way, I have a couple of nuggets to send you and your wife and also one for your sister. I often thought of you and Mrs. Davie. She was very kind to me when I was cleaning out your basement. This is a real happening in a miner's life—broke one day and plenty of money the next."
Concluding his letter, Connell said the Chisana country was no place for a poor man, because all the claims were staked and prices of everything are "sky high."
HAS KEY TO ALL LANGUAGES
French Teacher Invents System of International Correspondence
international Correspondence.
Paris.—A teacher named J. Orsat has invented an ingenious system of international correspondence. Every word in the French language is referred to by a number, and a corresponding number is given to the same word in all other languages.
Thus a merchant desiring to write to a foreign customer need only turn the words of his own language into numbers, and the customer can retranslate the numbers into the words of his language. Dictionaryaries based on this system in all tongues are being prepared.
M. David, the minister of commerce, has given his approbation to the idea.
M. Orsat does not believe in the practicability of a spoken universal language.
Criticising.
The true rule of life is to praise everything good and knock and criticise everything bad and detrimental to public welfare. So here's to the fellow who criticises and knocks. He is the brave man of the community. He is the one that stands between the people and abject social, financial and political servitudes, for he is a real man with an opinion and not afraid to express it.—Portland Advoc
What Segregation Means
Rev. Quincy Ewing, a Southern Caucasian, Born and Reared in Mississippi, Shows the Policy of the South is to Keep the Afro-American in Inferior Status.
BY REV. QUINCY EWING.
But we are very far from needing to rely upon any general consideration in support of the proposition advanced above. It is supported by evidences on every hand, waiting only the eye of recognition. Scarcely a day passes when something is said or done with this end in view, emphasize, best they forget, the conviction, white man and Negro that the latter is and half the population that first-class seats could not be furnished for the stance a few such evidences.
Why is it that in every Southern city no Negro is allowed to witness a dramatic performance, or a baseball game, from a first-class seat? In every large city, there are hundreds of Negroes who would gladly pay for first-class seats at the theatre and the baseball game, were they permitted to it. Can hardly be that permission is withheld because the theatres and baseball balls games are so well attended by half the population that first-class seats could not be furnished for the stance a few such evidences.
Consider, first, the "Jim Crow" legislation in the manner of its enforcement. Such legislation is supposed to have for its object the separation of the races in trains, street cars, etc., to save the white people from occasional contact with drunken, rowdy, illselling Negroes, and to prevent personal encounters between the whites and blacks. Members of the different races occupy the same cars, separated only by absurdly inadequate little open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and that a conductor can move them from one room to another with the strength of his finger. Needless to add, these screens would serve to obscure neither sound, sight, nor smell of drunken rowdyies, sat behind them! In summer cars, back and white passengers may be seated not even by a make-believe screen; they are simply required, respectively, to occupy certain seats in the front or the back end of the cars.
In Birmingham, Alabama, the front seats are assigned to Negroes in all closed cars, and the back seats in all open ones. Why the front seats in the one case, and the back seats in the other, it is not easy to understand in the light of the letter and alleged spirit of the Jim Crow law! The underlying purpose of the law is clearly not the separation of the races in space; for public sentiment does not insist upon its fulfillment to that end. The underlying purpose of it would seem to be the separation of the races in status. The doctrine of inequality is attacked if white and black passengers code in public conveyances on equal terms; therefore the Negro who rides in a public conveyance must do so, as of the abolished right, but as with the white man's regulation. "This place you may occupy that other you may not, because I and you are you, lest to you or to it should be obscured that I am I and you are you." Such is the real spirit of the Jim Crow laws.
Evidences of Christianity
IN HOLY RUSSIA.
Jewish Girl Outraged and Crucified By Russians.
Berlin—One of the most revolting crimes in the dark history of Russia was reported here in a special dispatch from St. Petersburg, telling of three Russian youths having outraged and then crucified the daughter of a poor Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the Volga.
After outraging the young girl, the dispatch declares, the three youths dragged her to a cemetery, where they nailed her to a cross above one of the graves. Nails were driven through her hands and feet and even through her eyes. The three murderers were arrested, but their friends in the town released them and they escaped, it is asserted.
THE ONLY SOLUTION.
Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line.
Making other things Sir Stanley said,
"My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in
THE SIN OF SILENCE
To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Why is it that in every Southern city no Negro is allowed to witness a dramatic performance, or a baseball game, from a first-class seat? In every large city, there are hundreds of Negroes who would gladly pay for first-class seats at the theatre and the baseball game, were they permitted to. It can hardly be that permission is unheld because the theatres and baseball games are so well attended by half the audience that first-class seats could not be furnished for the other half. As a matter of fact, theatre-auditoriums and baseball stands are seldom crowded; the rule is, not all first-class seats occupied, but many vacant. Surely as simple as moving from seat to seat a makeshift screen in a street-car, it be to set apart a certain number of seats in the dress-circle of every theatre, and in the grandstand of every baseball park, for Negro patrons. The reason why this is not done, is perfectly obvious; it would be intolerable to the southern man or woman to sit through the hours of a theatrical performance, or a baseball game on terms of equal accommodation with Negroes, even with a screen between Negroes would look out of place, out of status, in the dress circle or the grandstand; their place, signifying their status, is the peanut-gallery, or the bleachers.
Consider further that, while no Negro, no matter what his occupation, or personal refinement, or intellectual culture, or moral character, is allowed to trave in a pullman car between state lines, or to enter as a guest a hotel patronized by white people, the blackest of Negro nurses and valets are given food and shelter in all first class hotels, and occasion neither disgust nor surprise in the Pullman cars. Here again the heart of the race problem is laid bare. The black nurse with a white baby in her arms, the black looking after the comfort of a white salid, have the label of their inferiority suspiciously upon them; they understand themselves, and everybody understand them, to be servants, enjoying certain benefits for the sake of the person served; anything the Negro may do in the South, and anywhere he may go, provided the manner of his doing and his going is that of an inferior. Such is the premium put upon his inferiority; such his inducement to maintain it.
IN CHRISTIAN U. 8.
Afro-American Woman Lynched by Americans.
Muskogee, Okla.—Lemuel Peace, a Caucasian, went into the colored section of the city Sunday night and mistreated Marie Scott, an Afro-American woman. To defend herself, she killed him. She was arrested and put into the Wagoner county jail for safe keeping. Tuesday she was taken out of the jail by a masked mob and hanged to a telephone pole. The mob got into the jail by strategy. The mob pulled the screaming woman from her cell, rope about her neck and dragged her some distance through the streets before reaching the telephone pole.
Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian.
"Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it.
"I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as the black."
Editor H. C. Smith of the Cleveland, Ohio Gazette, announces himself as a candidate for the Legislature. He was formerly a member of the Ohio Legislature and did good service for humanity in securing the passage of a civil rights bill and an anti-lynching law. Mr. Smith has been a fearless advocate for the rights of his people, through his newspaper and THE AP-PEAL trusts that he will secure the nomination and be elected by a large majority.

He Was a Barefaced Fraud.
A very suave little brown-skined individual dropped in Minneapolis last week, calling himself Dr. N. J. Thomas. He told a cock and bull story about great deeds of his down in "Bam" and worked on the sympathies of some of the Masonic brethren and touched them for several simoleons. He went over to St. Paul and cut quite a swath as a high roller at the clubs and see 'em up for everybody, whatever they called for, from "Clocit" to plain "suds." His cards in the Saintsy City read Dr. N. Kennedy, A. M. M. D. female specialist, private sanitarium and hospital, Burlington, Vermont. He told of his travels, all over the Southwest and his proposed trip to various cities where he was bookee to make addresses, and about his private yacht that could accommodate 35 passengers, etc. But like most crooks he could not cover his tracks and Thursday night of last week, Detective J. C. Black picked him up and he was placed in durance vile, then taken to Minneapolis and placed in jail where he was kept for five days. He then put up such a pitiful plea that after leaving his watch in a prominent man's hands, whose head he had bumped, he was given his liberty on the promise to get out of town instanter—he went—ta, ta, Dr. Thomas-Kennedy.

A HALL IN SIGHT
After Years of Waiting and Wrangling and Working.
For many years the people of St. Paul have been talking about building a hall and numerous projects have been started, all of which came to naught.
But, now, it seems that a hall is in sight. For the past four months a committee of sixteen, composed of eight members of Mars Lodge, Odd Fellows and Perfect Ashlar Lodge, Masons, has been meeting weekly and working faithfully on the project and have got their plans so far perfected that they have incorporated themselves into the Union Hall Association for the purpose of erecting a $15,000 building at Alma Amares building, the Bucklin and Kent streets. The final meeting for signing the building contracts will be held Monday night and the project will be fully launched. The officers of the Association are: S. E. Hall president; E. J. Murphy, vice president; C. H. Miller, secretary; R. M. Johnson, treasurer.
The board of directors consists of S. E. Hall, chairman; E. J. Murphy, C. H. Miller, R. M. Johnson, W. T. Francis, Geo. L. Hoage, J. B. Johnson, C. H. Brown, J. H. Dillingham. The erection of a hall is now as

HONORING AN ARCH TRAITOR.
HONORING AN ARCH TRAILOR
Fifty years ago when we were going to school one of the things that greatly impressed us was the universal contempt that was held for the traitor Benedict Arnold. But things have changed in the daily papers, one of which is as follows:
"Atlanta, Ga., June 3.—Memorial exercises in many cities of the South marked the observance of the birthday of Jefferson Davis today. In several states the occasion was designated as a legal holiday."
Just think of honoring the day that arch traitor was born! One of the causes of the conditions in this country today is because treason was not made so odious that no one who wished to be tolerated in any community would admit he was one of the traitors of 1860-3.
