MAKING RECORD AT HIS POST Has Elevated Position to One Dignity and Honor—Regulates President's Office Hours and Sometimes His Statements to Reporters—Valuable as Diplomat and Practitioner. Washington—it's a sweet little job these days, being private and personal physician to the president of the United States. From a medical viewpoint it's not a particularly trying post, but the position embraces about fifty-seven other tasks, all calling for the tact, memory and general ability of a corporation counsel. Slipping in and out of the White House, a little man with a keen, incisive eye and manner of speech, but an ability of manner which includes often be seen these days. His name is Cary T. Grayson, and his name carries Photo by American Press Association. DR. CARY T. GRAYSON. with it the initials "U. S. N," which means he is a member of the medical corps of the navy. Grayson is the man who brought the position of presidential doctor out of obscurity and elevated it to a post of honor, dignity and efficiency in White House circles. Before Grayson came a White House doctor was a mysterious personage, little known and less cared about. Grayson combines this position with the one left vacant by the late Major Archibald Butt and fills both with complete satisfaction. On the whole, the practice of medicine on the president of the United States is the least of Grayson's tasks. He's a sort of confidential family adviser to President Wilson, and he also regulates the president's office hours—and sometimes his statements to reporters. When the president is away from Washington, Grayson is oftentimes the sole connecting link between the head of the American nation and the representatives of the American public. In more ways than one this black haired, pleasant faced, affable manned, efficient man has attained distinction and a record during the time Woodrow Wilson has occupied the White House. He is usually spoken of as "Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U. S. N., the president's personal physician," but that merely the correspondents' method of repaying in formality the informal, gracious kindnesses of the president's doctor. In size Grayson is a small man, but that doesn't apply to his ability. He has a long, straight nose, jet black hair and deep set eyes that tinkle with humorous appreciation half the time. Sometimes they don't tinkle with Grayson on the road" with his distinguished and the responsibility of his position at such a time is apt to take the twinkle from any one's eyes. The president is an indefatigable worker, and like all men of his temperament he has the habit of neglecting his personal health when involved in a deep and delicate problem. Grayson, however, is always hovering in the background, guarding him against overwork, driving him forth to the golf links or for an automobile ride, urging plenty of sleep, a careful diet and a careful meal necessary to a president's health. These are a part of his duties when the president is at home. Grayson's duties at such times become comparatively light, and he is enabled to take up his other work at the Naval hospital at Washington, where he has a regular quota of patients who demand his attention so long as he remains in the city. But when the president takes to his private car for a swift whirl to New York, calm or elsewhere, Grayson suddenly forwards as the car of the executive's purpose. Grayson is strong on the point of excuse. He insists that the president take exercise at any and all times, and the president, fortunately, when the matter is brought to his attention, is always willing to exercise. ROOSTER KILLS CHILD. Fowl Attacked Los Angeles Lad, Who Was Feeding Chickens. KING CHICKENS Los Angeles, C. - John M. Seumann, two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Seaman of this city, is dead at Omaha carriage an attack by a large rooster at the ranch home of the child's grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. V. Lawrence of that city. John and his mother visited at the ranch. The chickens were a novelty to the boy, and he was anxious to feed them. With prodigious bravery that was thought only childishly cute he accomplished his desire. A few days ago he was so engaged when a large rooster at the little fellow and buried its scapel in his scalp. Blood poisoning developed, and the child died in a hospital after much suffering. "MISTAKE" MADE $2,500. War Brings Profits to Gamer, Who Ordered Too Much Chloride. Parsons, Kant-Anon Gannett, a dry cleaner, through a mistake ordered 100 instead of ten gallons of carbon tetra chloride to be used in his cleaning process last February, paying $1.20 a gallon. He attempted to persuade the drug company to take back the ninety gallons, but it refused, and he figured he had lost over a hundred dollars in the transaction. The war in the meantime caused the price of the chemical to soar, and recently the chemical company of whom he bought the order paid him $30.15 a gallon for the ninety gallons it refused almost a year ago. 'Gamer netted a profit of more than $2,500. St. Paul--Raise up a cow in the way she should go, and before she is old she will richly reward you. C. N. Nelson, who lives just over the Anoka county line, a few miles from St. Paul, says. Thirty-two years ago, when he was in the early twenties, Nelson landed in Minnesota fresh from Sweden. His total assets were 50 cents and the contents of a queer looking Swedish clothes chest. Half an hour after his arrival he was 50 cents power. "When I got off a train in Minneapolis all I had is card bearing the address of a cousin who had come to America a short time before," Mr. Nelson said. "I showed the card to a hackman, who also was Swedish. He took my 50 cents and drove me a few blocks, pointing to one of the windows, marked 444, said, "There it is." I had supposed that the 'box 444' written on the card was a street address. I did not know how my cousin was to appear from that box, but I stood with eyes glued on the number from 10 o'clock in the morning until the middle of the afternoon, afraid to look elsewhere for fear my cousin would come in the meantime. When at last I heard two men at one of the windows talking my language. I was not sure why he explained that I was in the postoffice, and that my cousin might not go for several days. I should have been in a bad fix had not one of the men invited me to come and do ood jobs at his boarding house and earn my keep. "My cousin did not come to town for three weeks, and when he did he did not help me because he could not. He had all he could do to earn a living. "Then I worked in a railroad construction camp one summer and returned to the city with the intention of going to school and learning English. My first employer agreed to give me my board for helping with the milking, but I had not gone to school many days when he met with an acclimatization and reminded me that I would learn English. I traveled to route than by going to school, so I became a dairyman and worked until I had saved $1,000." JUDGE A MODEL MAN. Eighty-four and Promised Lincoln Not to 8moke, Chaw, Drink or Lia. to Smoke, Chew, Drink or Lie. Chester, Pa.-Federal Judge Simeon Woodrow King of Chicago, who paid a visit to relatives in this city, is a remarkable man. He is in his eighty-fourth year and has never been sick a day in his life. He was appointed judge for the United States court for the northern district of Chicago when he was twenty-one years and six months of age by President Abraham Lincoln and has been sitting as a jurist all that long period. "I have kept the promise I made to Abraham Lincoln." Judge King says, "and that promise was that I would never smoke or chew tobacco, never touch liquor and never tell an untruth." Fifty Years Near Father; Didn't Know. Columbus, Ind.-Mary Margaret Jane Cathers, eight, of near Newbern, has just learned that she is a daughter of Drewary A. Massey, 109 years old, who recently died in Bush county, and that she lived within fifty miles of him for half a century without knowing his whaebearns. THE APPEAL. CIGAR SMOKE COST $450. Received It From a Strange Man and Then Was Robbed. Muncle, Ind.-The most expensive cigar that Joseph Cegelka, a Muncle Roumanian, ever smoked cost him exactly $450, according to his story as related to the police. A man giving his name as John Adams was the cause. The two met at the boarding house of Mrs. Martha Jones. According to Mrs. Jones the man was in the same room in her bed for four hours. Finally Adams left the house alone. Eventually Cegelka reported to the police that he had been robbed of $450 after having smoked a cigar given him by Adams. The police believe the cigar was "doped." CLOCKS TELL OF THEFT. Stop When Culprit Breaks Circuit of Electrical System. Seattle, Wash.-Many instruments recorded the exact moment of a theft at the University of Washington, but gave no definite information as to the place in which it was committed or the identification. Officials determined that the theft had been committed in an unoccupied building on the campus. At 3:40 o'clock in the afternoon all the clocks in the university's electric system stopped. The master clock was found to be running, and search the next morning revealed that the circuit had been broken in the empty cottage, where the time clock was then torn from the wall. The theft had also taken part of the telephone. GERARD'S WIFE WINS PRAISE IN GERMANY Berlin—Mrs. Gerard, wife of the American ambassador here, is appealing to her friends at home for funds to carry on the American relief kitchen of Berlin, which has daily fed some 200 women and children, the families of men who are aliens in Germany and therefore placed in concentration camps, following the action which Great Britain and France took in the internment of aliens in those countries. The American Association of Commerce and Trade in Berlin gave the money to the American ladies on six months when its doors were opened last year in the Schlesische strasse, where Mrs. Gerard and her committee of American ladies found an unoccupied house in the factory district of the east side. Mrs. Gerard herself gave the coal supply for the winter, so that the place was kept open all afternoon, many of the women and children having no other place where they could keep warm. The money was spent so economically that $1 furnished seven wholesome meals. This winter the enterprise is without failure and the doors of the American relief kitchen have been opened to the crowds of hungry, poory men with babies in their arms and clinging to their skirts who mournfully stand around and gaze through the windows. Long purses and generous ones among the American colony have been taxed to the utmost by the charity needs arising from the war, and Mrs. Gerard has won appreciation not only in Berlin, but throughout Germany for her large contributions of money and the devotion of almost all of her time to the alleviation of distress. On Nov. 11 the German government sent her decorations of the first and second class memorize her services in connection with the effort to help German prisoners of war in Russia. JAIL EMPTY 120 HOURS And Minnesota "Dry Town" is on the Way to Goodness. East Grand Forks, Minn.—The remarkable record of a tenantess jail here for 120 hours recently was broken when J. W. Lafferty, a transient, was arrested on a charge of passing a fraudulent check. The city's police force has been cut in half as a result of the arrival of the dry regime. The drought here also had affected Grand Forks, N. D., where there had not been an arrest for drunkenness for more than a week, and the mayor of that city also contemplates a considerable reduction in the police force. Gained 100 Pounds in Jail. Salem, Ore.—After serving fifteen years in the Oregon state pentennial for the murder of Nathan Wolfe, a pawnbroker, Edward H. Martin, who says he is a former student of Fordham college and a graduate of the United States Military academy at West Point, was released recently and, accompanied by his wife, left for New York to visit his parents. When released he weighed 200 pounds. When he began serving his sentence he weighed 100. He always protested his innocence. Woman Carries Mall. Necobo Falls, Kan.—This town now has a woman rural mail carrier, Mrs. Leslie Reynolds has been appointed substitute to her husband, Logan H. Reynolds, and covers her route of twenty-four miles every day in the usual time. Defective Page Woman Carries Mall Governor McCall Selected to Present Coveted Trophy to the Winner at the Historic Park Street Church—Former President William Howard Taft Serves on Special Committee. Boston. — The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People starts the year 1916, with many great problems before it for solution. The success of the work the past year was in many ways very gratifying to the board of directors and other of its officials, but with lynchings on the increase and many stubborn cases of segregation to fight the association must use every means at its command in order to create a stronger sentiment in favor of giving justice to all citizens not because of their color, but because it is right and in accord with the fundamental law of this republic. The big public event of the association for the third week in February will be a great mass meeting, to be held in the Park Street church, Boston, on Tuesday, Feb. 22, at which the second Spingarn medal will be presented by Governor McCall to the man or woman DR. J. E. SPINGARN. of our race selected as having made the most distinguished achievement during the preceding twelve months. The Spingarn medal, the gift of Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, formerly professor of comparative literature in Columbia university and chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, is a gold medal of the value of 100 and is awarded annually to the American Negro who has rendered the most distinguished service during the year in any field of honorable or elevated endeavor. Meeting of Evangelical Publishers. The National Baptist Publishing house at Nashville, Tenn., was the only business concern among the colored race represented at the annual meeting of the Sunday School Council of Evangelical Publishers held at Richmond, Va. the last week in January. The Rev. James Boyd, founder and secretary of the national Baptist publishing board, Dr. C. H. Clark, the Rev. Henry Allen Boyd and Dr. W. S. Eifflington. INDIANS GOOD FARMERS. Developed as Such More Last Year Than Ever Before. Washington.—The development of agriculture and stock raising among the Indians has been greater in the last year than ever before, according to the annual report of Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs. Love of home and domestic happiness are becoming at last a more marked trait of the Indians, and it is made to better the condition of the Papago Indians, who are in southern Arizona. The children are to be taught the A B C's. "The Papago," says the commissioner, "are among the most deserving of any people I have ever known. Their home for more than 200 years has been in the driest desert in the United States. "Under these circumstances they have demonstrated that the genius of women works wonderful things. The Papago are made more unassisted, and their accomplishments, in view of their tremendous obstacles, are marvelous." MEDAL FOR OBSTINACY Two Farmers Are Entered in the Contest in Kansas. Kansas City.—Two of the most contrary men in Kansas are boasted by Smith Center. Last fall one man refused to pay the price asked by cornhuskers and vowed he would let his field rot before he would yield. Now the field, containing about 2,000 bushels of grain, still stands and is grown up with a dense crop of sunflowers. The other contrary man is a neighbor of the first. He husked 1,000 bushels of his crop, stored it in an uncovered crb and said it would remain there till it brought him 75 cents a bushel. It is still there, but ruined by the season's heavy rains. FARMER'S IDEA SAVES HIM TIME AND MONEY FARMER'S IDEA SAVES HIM TIME AND MONEY Uses Pipe to Send Wheat From Plateau to Market. Wenatchee, Wash.—Instead of hauling his wheat eight miles over a bad road, as he did formerly, James Keane of Rock Island is now letting the grain slide into market through a galvanized iron pipe. The former method cost from 15 to 20 cents a market. By this latter way the grain can be handled for 2 cents a bushel. The new system has been in operation for a couple of years and bids fail to continue, at least until the natural law of gravitation is abolished. Keane owns land which lies on a large plateau over 2,000 feet above the little town of Rock Island. It has a placer for the grain to drive a long distance to get off the plateau and back into town, and as the road wound around the side of the bluffs it was very rocky and dangerous. Two years ago the iron pipe idea came to Keane. He purchased and installed 2,500 feet of two inch galvanized iron piping, and the saving the first year paid for it. The pipe runs from the plateau down a steep hill to within 400 feet of the warehouse in the town. When he wishes to take two or three loads of wheat to market the grain is poured into a large sheet iron hopper fitted over the top of the iron pipe line. The grain runs along merrily through the pipe to the town, where it is received at the rate of about a sack a minute which is as fast as it can be handled. To save more time and money Keane has attached an apparatus known as the "sacker" from a thrashing machine to the town end of the pipe line, which automatically receives, sacks and welts the grain. A man does the sewing. Keane has a monopoly on the big plateau, which embraces about 5,000 acres of tillable land. Last year he planted most of it and harvested nearly 100,000 bushels of wheat. The land lies exposed to the periodicals and winds that frequent this part of the vine during the summer and there have been years when piles of the wheat crop would be piled in high drifts of dirt. When the season is favorable few farmers are more handily located than Keane, with his pipe line marketing method. SILVER DOLLARS BY MAIL. Ten, Sent One Year Apart, Have Gone Through Without Fall. Federalburg, MD.-About ten years ago henry P. Wright of Aberdeen began sending to his sister here, Mrs. Mary Fleetwood, a silver dollar through the mail as a Christmas present. Recently the annual dollar arrived, with Mrs. Fleetwood's address on one of the other. In the ten years that Wright has been sending these unique remembrances to his sister not one has been lost or stolen, neither has it failed to arrive on time. Heifera Chase Rabbits Pennsburg, Pa.-If a new idea of a Sunnytown farmer becomes a bad rabbit dog may be pushed into the background. He has trained some of his heifers seen and chase rabbits in the field as a dog and, indeed, more cheaply. In business, fortunes are not certain Unless your goods are amply advertised. IN FAVOR OF CONSCRIPTION. America Should Adopt System, Says Harriot Stanton Blatch. Washington,—Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch, president of the Woman's Political union, favors conscription. She says: "I am of the opinion that America should adopt the only democratic national defense possible—conscription. "I would have conscription on a plan somewhat similar to that enforced in Switzerland at the present time—an enlistment of two months at first, to continue for shorter periods each year that would harmonize all sections of a society. In my opinion we want to be made a much more homogeneous people, and therefore those that enlist from the east should be sent to the west and those from the south sent to the north, and a perfect understanding would be brought about between various sections. "This conscription imposed upon men should also be obligatory for women, who as citizens, but not as soldiers, should know how to efficiently do their share in coming to the aid of their country in time of calamity. "Girls should be forced to train in various departments of the civil service, in the postoffice, in all the munition, departments, and to women I would apply the same ideas as to the men—that is, to various parts of the country, so that they may get a wider knowledge of their home land." CHASED 20 CENTS 20 YEARS Tells Court Bank Owes Him That Sum Since 1895. St. Louis — A claim of 20 cents against the Mullanypy bank was presented in Circuit Judge Kinney's court by Gottlieb Kling, who declared that the money had been due him since the bank went into the hands of a receiver in 1895. United States Senator Stone, receiver for the bank, was received for to listen to claims presented in order to make settlement. Three claimants appeared. The three claimants $3.02, Christina Meyer, who claimed $3.02, and Mrs. Mary Schwartz, who claimed $62.08. DON'T ASK FOR APPLE PIE IF YOU'RE INDIAN Chippewa Word Takes 46 Letters and 18 Syllables. Carlisle, Pa.—When one realizes that if a Chippewa Indian boy has to ask his mother for a piece of pah-tah-me-bah-ske-ne-si-gah-ne-we-ko-bawk-ka-wen-gan when he wants apple it may be understocked that the seemingly cumbersome names carried by many of the Indian students at the Carlisle school are really not so burdensome to the redskin as would first appear. Among names on the Carlisle roster of students are such as Katie Owens-many-horses, Nancy Kicks-the-iron, Frank Smells-the-log, Edward Distance-town, Delph Essen-to-hate, Flora Well-known and Henry Knocks-off-two. The longest name on Carlisle's list of students is Owen Woothtakewability and the shortest Jo Dog. That odd names have not entirely passed away is evidenced, for instance, by the following names taken off the students' roll, being surnames, having reference to parts of the human body: No-shi-hone, Spread-banda. Short-neck, Eye-lash, Silver-heels, Roman-neck, Fashion-neck, Mumble-head, Yellow-kidney, Yellow-face, Wounded-eye, White-face, White-head, Powder-face and Two-hearts. There is a scattering of popular names at Carlisle, including such names as Abe Lincoln and David Copperfield. BIG MONEY IN JUNK. Oregonian Firm's Report Shows $23,000 Was Made In Eight Months. Eugene, Ore.—The junk dealer's job isn't such a bad sort of occupation, according to the statements of one Eugene junk firm that shipped its eleventh carload of junk collected in and around Eugene in the past eight months. The shipment went to Seattle. Two men with a rickety wagon have developed a new method of having included eleven tons of rubber, nine tons of brass and thirteen tons of copper and other metals. Receipts were more than $23,000. FINDS $610 IN TIN CAN. While at Play Bloomington (III). Boy Unearths Treasure. Bloomington. Ill.-George Chamberlin, a boy, while playing near an old barn in Streater, unearned a tin which contained $10 in gold and bills. The property was turned over to the estate of late George Riley, the owner of the property. As Mr. Riley is dead and no one has claimed ownership, the finder has entered suit to recover the treasure. Calf Without Legs or Tall. Hickman, K.-G. C. G., a farmer near here, says that one of his cows gave birth to a "calf and a half" or two calves. One is perfectly normal and the other bovine was minus legs and tail. Its head and body were of normal size. The " half calf " died, of course. WIRELESS VISION SEEN BY TESLA Thinks "World System" Will Allow Many to Talk at Once. ENDS STATIC DISTURBANCE Inventor Also Hope to Transmit Pictures by Same Medium Which Carries the Voice—Declares It Will Be Possible to Hold Secret Conversation Too. New York—Nikola Tesla announced that he had received a patent on an invention which would not only eliminate static interference, the present bugaboo of wireless telephony, but would enable thousands of persons to talk at once between wireless stations and make it possible for those talking to see one another by wireless, regardless of the distance separating them. He said also that with his wireless station now in the process of construction on Long Island he hoped to make New York one of the central exchanges in a world system of the wireless telephony. The Inventor, who has won fame by his electrical inventions, dictated this statement: "The experts carrying out this brilliant experiment are naturally deserving of great credit for the skill they NICOLA A. WILKIN have shown in-perfecting the devices. These are of two kinds-first, those serving to control transmission, and second, those magnifying the received impulse. That the control of transmission is perfect is plain to experts from the fact that the Arlington, Mare island and Pearl Harbor plants are all ineffective and that the distance of telephonic communication is equal to that of transmission. That the transmission is also perfectly apparent in other cases of the application lies in the magnification of the microphonic impulse. It must not be imagined that we deal here with new discoveries. The improvement simply concerns the control of the transmitted and the magnification of the received impulse, but the wireless system is the same. This can never be changed. "It is claimed that static disturbance will fatally interfere with the transmission, while as a matter of fact there is no static disturbance possible in wireless communications, so much so that when a telephone is attached there is absolute silence, even lightning in the immediate vicinity not producing a click of the diaphragm, while in the ordinary telephonic conversation there are all kinds of noises. "Another contention is that there can no secrecy in wireless telephone conversation. I say it is aburd to raise the contention, and I demonstrate to experiments that the earth is more suitable for transmission than any wire could ever be. A wireless telephone conversation can be made as secret as a thought. "I have myself erected a plant for the purpose of connecting by wireless telephone the chief centers of the world, and from this plant as many as a hundred will be able to talk absolutely without interference and with absolute secrecy. The plant would simply be connected with the telephone central exchange in New York city, and any subscriber will be able to talk to any other telephone subscriber in the world, and all this without any change in the subscriber's name, be called my "world system." By the same means I propose also to transmit pictures and project images, so that the subscriber will not only hear the voice, but see the person to whom he is talking. Pictures transmitted over wires is a perfectly art practiced today. Many inventors have labored on it, but the chief credit is due to Professor Korn of Munich." $2,000 Awaits Lost Cat. Chicago—John H. Warder used to think a great deal of his pet angora cat, Boye. In his will he be provided that $2,000 be set aside in a trust fund for the care of Boye at a cat parade in Massachusetts. The will has just been bled for probate, and Mr. Warder, to whom the whole estate is left, was asked what she intended to do in regard to Boye. "Goodness!" he declared; "we gave Boye away a year, and I don't even know where he is now." ARE YOU READ THE APPEAL? J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER ST.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1916 WHO WILL BE FOUND WORTHY, There is considerable speculation in the minds of the people all over the country, as to who will be found worthy to receive the "Spingarn Medal" to be awarded in this month. The "Spingarn Medal" is a gold medal of the value of $100, and is awarded annually to the colored person in the United States who is deemed to have rendered the most distinguished service during the year in any field of honorable or elevated endeavor. The medal is given by Dr. J. E. Spingarn of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its award may well be considered the most distinguished recognition one can receive in this prejudice cursed country. It will be remembered that the first medal was awarded last year to Dr. Edward E. Just a professor in Harvard University Medical School, for distinguished results in biological research. The committee of award consists of ex-president William H. Taft, Oswald Garrison Villard, Dr. James H. Dillard, Bishop John Hurst and Pres. John Hope, of Morehouse College, Atlanta; the latter two being colored. The pre- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cow The human race has test.

P. at Tremont Temple, Boston, Mass., on Washington's birthday, February 22nd, the name of the fortunate individual will not be known until the presentation is made by Governor McCall, hence we say, we wonder who will be found worthy? No people on earth know better than the colored people of this country do, what prejudice is; but Nathan Straus in the New York Times has some idea of it. He says: "It is easy to create, it is hard to destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of wisdom. Its perceptions are false. It sees in darkness; it is blind in the light. It natures lies and rejects truth. Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy. It rules those who give it life. It is a conjured Frankenstein, dominating millions of men. It sits beside the gates of life and takes toll of all that pass. "It is the conservator of all that reason would destroy, the destroyer of the works of justice. It is the hand-malden of error, the nemesis of knowledge. It feeds fear and poisons hope. It lives by the law of the dead. It thrives upon the meat of yesterday. It sickens on the sustenance of today. "It is the anarchist of the heart. It smothers faith. It gives love to the torch. It beneaths benevolence and shuns communion. It stills the sound of music and palsies the hand of art. It betrays belief and sets suspicion on a throne. It rejoices in tears. Its mirth is in misery. "It is the monster of the mind. It pollutes thought, serves despair, and ravishes right. It offends against fact and is a stranger to logic. Its soothing is in sophistry. It divines the unreal and walks in the way of phantoms. It drains the potions brewed by witches of the brain. It is a thing of charms and amulets. A REAL PHILANTHROPIST. One of the most pleasing things we have heard of lately is contained in the will of the late Andrew Freedman of New York, the bachelor who left an estate valued at $7,000,000, the bulk of which is to be used eventually for the establishment of a home for the aged on original lines which the founder himself had formulated. It will be known as the Andrew Freedman Home. It will receive aged persons in indigent circumstances without regard to race, sex or creed, and especially will it care for old couples who, in the evening of life might otherwise be forced to live apart. Mr. Freedman selected twenty-four persons, who will be requested to act as trustees of the home. They represent various races and religions and their selection shows that the testator intended that the institution should have a representative board. Mr. Freedman, evidently, belongs in Ben Freedman's class. "LAW" IN LOUISIANA. Early in the month martial law was declared throughout Jefferson parish, adjoining New Orleans, Louisiana. Governor Hall said in his proclamation that "a reign of lawlessness exists in Jefferson parish, and it appears that authorities of the parish, charged with enforcement of the law, are in sympathy with the lawless element." The state troops confiscated and burned various gambling paraphera nalia.

The dispatch announcing martial law contained this statement: "Saloons serving both white persons and Negroes will be closed immediately, but other saloons will be allowed to operate as long as there is no disorder." And that is the gist of the whole affair—colored and white people are not allowed to drink together in Louisiana. DANIELS DOUBTED Said Secretary of the Navy Daniels at Washington recently, at fraternal night ceremonies: "I pray to God that the day will come in Methodism when there will not have to be any fraternal night." The Secretary added that he hoped that the day would come when there would be no Northern or Southern Methodist churches, but there will be but one church. Of course he did not exactly mean that. What he meant to say was that he hoped the time would come when there will be but one WHITE church and that the yellow, black, red and brown Christians be forbidden to enter. The bulk of the estate of Mrs. Frank Leslie, the New York publisher, amounting to $2,000,000, will go to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt for the cause of woman suffrage. It was decided that the relatives of Frank Leslie can not hold up the distribution of the estate by the executor. Certain relatives claimed that Mrs. Leslie was of Negro descent, so the race ought to get credit for doing a great deal to aid the enfranchisement of woman. George M. Jones, secretary of Oberlin college, has announced that word had been received from Mrs. Elizabeth Severance Allen of New York that her late husband, Dr. Dudley P. Allen, formerly of Cleveland, had left a bequest of $100,000 for hospital purposes in Oberlin. THE APPEAL is always glad to learn of any good that comes to Oberlin for it is a college without any of the newfangled color schemes. The Haitian treaty, ratified by the Haitian Senate, providing for the supervision of the finances of Haiti by United States officials has been laid before the United States Senate, but opposition will be offered by persons who declare it simply makes the United States the "catspaw" for pulling foreign interests out of the fire. Its ratification by the United States Senate is considered doubtful. This month, February, though the shortest month of the year, has the distinction of furnishing the birthdays of three men who had much to do with the making of history in this country, viz.: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Though it is generally understood that the name of the recipient of the Spingarn medal will not be made public until the day of its presentation it is rumored that the honor is to fall to the lot of Major Charles Young, U.

CARD OF THANKS. The members of the D. Y. W. Y. K. club desire to tender their grateful thanks to the many friends, who through their liberality helped us in our effort to secure the honor of having Miss Ida May Johnson, our candidate, for Queen of the Carnival of Union Hall Association successful. We did not get her for queen but we did get second place, "Maid of Honor," for her by bringing in $100.50, contributed by the generous public for which we are very grateful. Florence E. Johnson, Pres. Irma E. Reed, Sec. SIMPLE RULES PREVENT FIRES. Here are some instructions given by the state's insurance department for prevention of fires: Don't put ashes in wooden boxes or barrels.

Says Army and Navy Haven't Enough Men to Enforce Prohibition Laws. New York City, N. Y.—Mr. Hugh F. Fox, the well-known publicist, spoke a few Sunday evenings ago at the SUNDAY EVENING FORUM of the FREE SYNAGOGUE, of which Dr. Stephen S. Wise, the Jewish orator, is Rabbi and Leader, on the subject, "The Futility of Prohibition." Mr. Fox pointed out that in the nineteen states which now have prohibition the people are inclined to drink infertile spirits rather than the lighter beverages, so that they could get in a license state. The fact that beer and wine were too difficult to conceal on account of their bulk explained it, he said. Speaking of National prohibition, Mr. Fox declared that a prominent Government official had once told him that to enforce national prohibition would require a police force as large as our army and navy put together. "UNITED STATES BEAUTIES." The Attraction at the Star Theatre Next Week. Next week the Star Theatre, commencing Matinee Sunday, Feb. 20th, will have an unusual attraction when Billy Watson presents the "United States Beauties." Those who are patrons of this class of attractions will be pleased in its selection, and all indications point to a successful week for both theatre and company. Fun to watch, the umor which appeal strongly to lovers will be throughout the bill presented by the "United States Beauties." A competent cast headed by Jules Jacobs, Chas. H. Boyle, Murray Bernard and Chas. P. McGuinness. While the female contingent is composed of Gertude Sommers, Emma Harris and Sylvia Brody, "Miss Gloria," and "One Night Opera," two new burlesques afford good entertainment during the entire performance. The costumes, scenery and electrical effects are entirely lovely, though the chorus is well drilled and the musical are in capable hands all in all. Mr. Watson presents a first class burlesque in his "United States Beauties." A. A. A. A. NOTES. The bowling tournament is certainly a success. Records are shattered nightly. Chairman J. H.

It is the only institution of its kind in the Northwest. If you have not joined, join now and make it a bigger one. Our board of governors had a very interesting meeting the first of the week, and many matters were considered and passed upon in the interest of the association. Wait for the big doings at the "gym" in the near future. See the big ad. for the big entertainment, Feb. 28. Tri-State Service. The Tri-State telephone service is being installed in the office of THE 'APPEAL and at the Editor's residence, so that hereafter our office and home will be accessible through their exchange and we will be right in line for the new automatic service which is near at hand. THE APPEAL man visited the Tri-State offices recently and through the courtesy of Manager Williams witnessed a practical demonstration of the innumerable benefits the team must have for the company is making for the further improvement of its service, which has always been of the highest standard. Mr. L. D. Brower, the colored representative of the company has worked out a plan for the harmonious transfer of large numbers to the improved service without expense or inconvenience. He has issued a circular letter which merits the careful perusal of every one who receives the same. Mr. Brower is the son of Mr. Jesse Brower, a retired Kansas State University was appointed by Governor Capper as a delegate to the state at the California Fair. His sister, Miss L. C. Brower is proprietor of the Brower Cafe at Mackinac Island, Mich., which for the past five years has handled the bulk of the high class café business of that famous resort. His brother, Mr. C. E. Brower is proprietor of the Lethbridge Exchange, Lethbridge Alberta and has the only pawnbroker's license in the country. He conducts the largest furniture establishment of its kind in that province. Mr. Brower is working to earn funds with which to purchase live stock for a 326 acre farm which he acquired through six years of homemeading hardship in Southern Alberta. He has tided over the adversities of pioneer life for the past nine years and should have loyal support in his present work. Not out of sympathy, but because he represents a business proposition whereby we get better returns for our dollars, take a step forward in the line of progress, experience no inconvenience, and our social institutions that need money badly will be given substantial aid for their co-operation in his plans. HAS MADE GOOD. Along Real Estate and Insurance Lines. Mr. F. D. McCracken, formerly the very popular and efficient private secretary of Congressman F. C. Stevens, has just finished his first six months in the real estate and insurance business and now seems to be well on the road to success. His strong personality, his high standard of integrity, his progressiveness and unusual ability that made him such a valuable able to our former Congressman so many years, are the dominant forces displaying in his business and seem to have given the people unquestionable confidence in his ability and efficiency in his line. Mr. McCracken has demonstrated in many instances his capability in the handling of real estate sales to the advantage of his purchasers. Among his most recent sales was the very beautiful stucco bungalow which contains all the conveniences now installed in modern residences, to Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Maxwell on Snelling and Robyn avenues; he also negotiated the sale of the very commodious home and Mrs. R. N. Travis on Kent and Iglethart A. A. Mrs. and Mrs. Geo. Willis also purchased through Mr. McCracken the "humble bee" staircase all furnished, with gasoline launch on Lake Chisago. In all of the sales he was able to make them below the market price. In the matter of renting, Mr. McCracken has rendered very valuable service to our people. His motto is "Better homes at fair rent," and has obtained some good property at reduced rentals. He is daily impressing upon property owners and real estate agents that our people must have better homes without the exhertplant rents usually charged. In order not to encourage the prevailing system of real estate agents of putting out white tenants and renting the same property to colored at a higher rate of rent, Mr. McCracken has refused to handle such property. Among the properties he manages there are many white clients. The Hall Brothers, who are rapidly becoming the race's largest property owners, have put Mr. McCracken in charge of their property. His team are well pleased with the prompt and business like methods with which he conducts their affairs. Representing only the strongest fire insurance companies, Mr. McCracker has already built up a very prosperous business in this line alone. He is thusly colored man in Minnesota that has a State insurance license and is legally permitted to write all classes of insurance. Realizing the opportunity for a live farm land dealer among our people in the northwest, Mr. McCracker has interested some financial concerns in the purchase of a large tract of farm lands in Wisconsin and Minnesota which he is handling and has already made some sales out of the tract. For years St. Paul has been in the need of an active man of our race who would be able to devote his entire time to this line of business and Mr. McCracker seems to be the right man in the right place. WILSON UNFIT FOR PRESIDENT. Resolutions Adopted by the National Equal Rights League at 8th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, Dec. 12-15, 1915. Resolved, that we appeal to all patriotic citizens north and south, east and west, to realize the malignant design of plays slandering the Colored people and misrepresenting Reconstruction, and to oppose production of such on the American stage. We commend the opposition to such plays, especially by the colored citizens in Boston and Philadelphia at the theatre. Resolved, that by his endorsement of segregation of clerks for color in the Post Office Department, President Gordow Wilson broke his pre-election hodgepodge colored voters, violated the spirit of the federal constitution, and espoused the perpetuation of race prejudice. No such man is worthy to sit in the seats of Washington and Lincoln. That we appreciate the efforts of all individuals and kindred civic organizations to this League, working for the same cause. We extend greetings to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Wendell Phillips Memorial Association, the Northeastern Federation and National Association of Colored Women's Clubs and the Constitution League. That the decision of the United States Supreme Court against the Grandfather Clause is the most notable event of the half-century year of freedom. We urge the distranchised colored citizens of the South to apply for registration to vote and contest in the federal courts when denied That we thank the colored citizens who carried the Oklahoma Jim-Crow Car case and the Oklahoma and Annapolis, Md., suffrage cases to the U. S. Supreme Court with success and endorse our League delegation in its refusal to accept President Wilson's endorsement of federal segregation. Didn't Believe In Worrying The American Legal News says that in Iowa a merchant sent a dunning letter to a man, who replied by return mail: "You say you are holding my note yet. That is all right—perfectly right. Just keep holding onto it, and if you find your hands slipping spit on them and try it again. Yours affectionately."

Reasons why every citizen of St. Paul should use Tri-State Service, are legion; and each reason is just as convincingly true as the other, so, rather than attempt to enumerate them, we will select a few of the principal ones and in the limited space at our disposal, endeavor to place before you Mr. Reader a few reasons why you should use Tri-State Service. The Tri-State Telephone Company is a Home concern, with over two-thousand local stock and bond holders, its revenues are collected and again disbursed here at home, its equipment, material, etc., is bought here at an approximate cost of nearly half a million dollars annually—The salaries of its officials as well as of its minor employees, are paid, and spent, here at home. When The Tri-State Company first entered the field—the opposing company, with a mere handful of telephones in use, was charging for business service $10.00 per month, and for residence service $5.00 per month—today, with more than twenty times the number of telephones then in use, The Tri-State Company furnishes business service on Private lines for only $4.00 per month, and residence service at $2.00 or $2.50 per month. The slogan of The Tri-State Company is "Service First," and the fact that telephone users have at all times acclaimed it as being BEST should convince even the most skeptical.

"A woman, and has a large fund of information, is a intensive travels, and being something of recoenture, she is quite entertaining and makes a very desirable guest. About four hundred persons were entertained at a banquet at the Emporium Tea rooms on Tuesday evening, by the officers of the Union Gospel Mission. Among that number were ten colored representatives. The affair was entirely free, and a number of invitations were sent to our people, of which no notice whatever was taken. But let it ever be-intimated that perhaps our presence is not desired in certain places, we are immediately made the matter up with the Mayor, the National Association or the President of the United States. While if we would stare at a point to accept all advances made, dark faces at public gatherings would cause to cause a commotion—being so common—and we would be received as a matter of course. Mr. L. D. Brower, of the Tri-State Telephone Co. met the Ladies' Aid Society of Pilgrim Baptist church at the home of Mrs. F. B. Simpson Thursday afternoon and the members of that organization will seek to interest as large a club as possible in changing to the new automatic service which is near at hand. Since a large number of railway employees are members and friends of this church, an excellent opportunity is afforded to take advantage of the present business needs and ability that institution needs and ably supports, at the same time overcoming their principal objection to social inconvenience which would naturally result from individual changes at different periods. Mr. Brower was also present at the St. James A. M. E. Church meeting Tuesday evening which is organizing similar clubs that bid fair for the solution of the financial problem of putting their church in proper repair to receive the Conference next summer. Theimore Brower Baptist church then arranged a club of fellowers. Many telephone users who wish to take advantage of the improved automatic service and give their institutions the benefit of this transfer should join one of these clubs at once. Read the circular letter Mr. Brower is mailing this week and you will understand the situation. PAID ADVERTISEMENT Prepaid by J. Q.

One of the most pre-eminently successful undertakings ever inaugurated in St. Paul was the big three days' carnival of the Union Hall Association, held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week. The art of brethhood seemed to prevail and religious, fraternal and social lines were completely ignored and everyone seemed to be doing his or her very best to make a grand success and that end was surely gained. The first night was masquerade night and there was a riot of color and jollity. The capacity of the building was tested to accommodate the crowd. Young and old maid and matrilial were out for a good time and had it. Tuesday night was fraternity night and while there was a fairly good crowd present it did not equal that of Monday night. Wednesday night there was a record crowd chuck full of "pep" and the fun was fast and furious. It was the grand finale. The various contests that had been planned for created a furore of excitement and the friends of the contestants worked like trojans. The results were as follows: Mrs. Hattie Sherwood was awarded first prize as the best costumed lady. Mr. Arthur White was given the first prize for having the most comical costume. The M. L. C. was awarded a banner for the best dressed group. Miss Eleanor Barksdale was chosen as senior queen, she having received 10,255 votes at one cent each, amounting to $102.55. She was the candidate of the So-Lit club. Miss Ida May Johnson secured 10,015 votes amounting to $100.15 and was as a reward declared Male of Honor. She was the candidate of the D. Y. W. K. Queen. Miss Jessie Beard, the candidate of the Junior Boosters, was chosen Junior Queen. The candidate of the S. S. P. G. Club of Minneapolis withdrew from the contest but presented the amount collected, $7.17, to the association. Mrs. Birdie High won in a walk in the ticket-selling contest, she having sold $100.15 worth and was presented a handsome diamond ring. Miss Rebecca Lowe sold $32.85 worth of tickets and received a handsome watch bracelet. Miss Rebecca Lowe for Senior and Junior queens were awarded gold and silver medals, respectively, appropriately inscribed. The best feeling prevailed during the carnival and there was no petty jealousy exhibited. All were working for the general welfare of the association. The whole affair, from beginning to end, was a great big success and the office numbers of the association are very grateful to all the boosters and the public generally for the unqualified success.

EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEAL knows whether he or she has paid for it or not. EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it; and, it is a violation of honesty, honor and law not to do so. THIS APPIES TO EVERY ONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Are you, reader, honest, honorable and law-abiding? Think about it. There is no law to compel any one to receive a newspaper who does not wish to do so, but there is a law that compels one to pay for a newspaper if it is received. There are many persons who receive THE APPEAL as regularly as it is issued, but who have failed to pay for it. Think about it. Don't stop at thinking about it, either, but kindly come or send to the office and pay what you honestly, honorably, legally owe. There is not one single subscriber on our list who is ACTUALLY UNABLE to pay for the paper if the desire to do so is strong enough. There is no desire or intention to offend any one, but if this article is marked with a blue pencil it is to remind you that YOU owe for THE APPEAL.

Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the law governing subscriptions. Below are the decisions of the United States Supreme Court upon the subject: Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary when subscription expires, are considered as wishing to renew their subscription. If subscribers order a discontinuance of their periodicals the publisher may continue to send them until all dues are paid. If the subscriber continues to take the periodical from the postoffice to which it is directed, or receives it from the carrier, he is responsible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher and the papers are sent to the former address the subscriber is held responsible. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until express notice with payment of all arrearages is made.
