WERE PRISONERS OF BRITISH Through King's Kind Offices Princess Emmanuel of Salm-Salm and Her Husband, Imprisoned at Gibraltar, Have Been Exchanged-All Previous Efforts to Free Them Were Failures. Madrid.—Princess Emmanuel of Salm-Salm, the eldest daughter of Archduke Frederick, commander in chief of the Austro-Hungarian army, who, with her husband, has been a prisoner of war in the hands of the British, is to be given her liberty, her husband likewise to be freed, this being the latest knight errantry of the king of Spain. When war was declared in August, 1914, the prince and princess were in South Africa on a hunting trip, the first time they had ever been so far from home. They were at once arrested and placed in a concentration Photo by American Press Association. KING ALFONSO. camp, later sent to Gibraltar in captivity after months of negotiations between the American ambassadors in London and Berlin with the British government. All efforts to obtain freedom for them to return home were failures. The prince is of military age, a man in his early forties, a very competent cavalry officer in the Prussian army as well as in the Austrian army and, besides, a person of great official importance. He is to be exchanged. it is reported, for Colonel Gordon, a special friend of Lord Kitchener, who was captured some time ago by the Germans. Princess Emmanuel of Salm-Salm was the Archduchess Marie Christina of Austria, and her bad luck in this war, which was brought on by the assassination of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, is a curious coincidence since she was the wife selected for the archduke by Emperor Francis Joseph. He fell in love with Countess Sophia von Chotek, lady in waiting in the household of Archduke Frederick, and the royal lady was wilted. Her marriage to Prince Salm-Salm has nevertheless been a happy one. They were married in Vienna fourteen years ago and have five children, three girls and two boys, who will be glad to see their parents after a separation of nearly two years since they left their castle in Westphalia. It was at first reported that the prince captured by the British was the son of Prince Felix of Salm-Salm, who married the American actress, Miss Agnes Leclerqc of Baltimore. He came to the United States during the civil war, having had some experience in both the German and Austrian armies, and President Lincoln gave him a commission as brigadier general. He was killed at the battle of Gravelotte, having returned to Germany for the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. His widow died at Karlsruhe in December, 1913, as Mrs. Charles Heneage, having made a second marriage in 1876, but spending most of her life in Germany. Her marriage with the prince was never recognized by his family, she never had the legal right to be called Princess Salm-Salm, and she left no son who assumed that title. Woman a Moonshiner Parkersburg, W. Va.—Mrs. Sarah Reed and Wiley Marks of Calhoun county began serving prison sentences recently after pleading guilty to a charge of operating a still for the manufacture of moonshine whisky. The couple were sentenced to pay fines of $1,000 and serve terms of six months. Chokes Eating a Steak. Springfield, Mass.—John B. Marcelle, a well known railroad man, choked to death while eating a steak in a restaurant. TRAMP DWELT IN STYLE. But Police Cut Short Vacation of Un-invited Guest. New York—William D. Lowery of Kingston, N. Y., moved. Lowery, it is charged by Police Chief Howard, made himself a lone and uninvited guest in the luxurious home of Mrs. John Brown on Peconic bay at Greenport, N. Y., after she had closed it for the winter. The intruder, it is charged, helped himself from a well stocked wine cellar, lived on canned food and in the guest bedroom covered his couch with a Persian rug and a silk portiere because his unknowing hostess had thoughtlessly taken away the bed linens. Chief Howard followed Lowery to the house when he saw him staggering through the streets. Lowery, who had supplied himself with candles, went into the house through a window. Some silverware and trinkets are said to be missing. Lowery is in the Riverhead-jail, awaiting the action of the grand jury. REFLECTION SAVES BABY. Hogs Attack Infant, but Flese When They See Own Likeness. Elkins, W. Va. — Sanford Phillips, Jr., two years old, owes his life to the fear of wild hogs for their own likeness when reflected from a mirror. Wild hogs which exist in the mountains of Randolph county came down into the foothills and charged into the home of Sanford Phillips, upsetting furniture and attacking Phillips' two-year-old son. The animals had torn nearly all the clothing from the child when he ran into a corner where a big mirror hung. The hogs followed, but soon stopped when they beheld their likeness in the big glass. Only a second did they hesitate, however, then turned, plunging from the house back up the mountainside. The child was only slightly injured. DOG KNOWS PHONE RING. If Master isn't Home Bud Goes Out and Finds Him. Winsted, Conn.-Bud, a Boston terrier, owned by W. B. Pinney, an employee of the Southern New England Telephone company and a member of the volunteer fire brigade, can distinguish his master's telephone call—two rings—from the other numbers on the 316 line. When the bell rings twice and Pinney is at home and does not hear the call the dog searches for him. By barking and other means he attracts his master's attention to the telephone. When Pinney falls to respond at night to the double ring Bud dashes to his master's room and rouses him. That is one reason why Pinney never falls to report for duty at a night fire. THEY LOVED TEACHER SO MUCH SHE FLED Had So Many Proposals of Marriage She Couldn't Stand It. Oroville, Cal.-Miss Dorothy Jones, who has been teaching school near here, has thrown up her job. The schools of the Kanak Peak district can go teacherless so far as she is concerned. She handed her ultimatum to the school board, and since her demands were not met she has quit, resigned and fled. In her communication to those who hold the destinies of the Kanak Peak youngsters in their calloused palms Miss Jones says that a man is needed. During the four months in which she has been wielding the chalk to improve the budding native sons they have beaten one thing well—the art of prose. Sixteen of them have suggested that Miss Jones abide permanently in Kanak Peak and change her name to something less commonplace than Jones. It got so that every time one of the ardent pupils raised his hand the teacher feared he was about to pop the fatal question. When it came to adding up a column of figures the Kanak Peak boys were not there, but at proposing they were unanimously present. Miss Jones admits that she can stand it no longer. There is a limit to everything, the avers. To be a successful schoolteacher in Kanak Peak, she says, one must have a husky husband near by or else be a man. KILLED FOR SPILLING SALT. Stabs Fellow Convict For Act Committed In Dining Hall. Leavenworth, Kan.-Henry Schmidt, a prisoner at the United States penitentiary here, was killed recently by J. S. Jones, another convict, as the result of a quarrel which started the night before when Schmidt salted salt on Jones' bread in the dining hall. Jones stabbed Schmidt in the breast with a piece of steel when the prisoners were forming in line for dinner. Schmidt was serving a three year sentence for army desertion and larceny. He was received June 7, 1915, from Governors island, New York. Girl Shoots a Bear. Lock Haven, Pa.-Miss Irene Anderson, sixteen years old, of Morrison saw a big bear headed toward a flock of sheep and with a wife put a bullet through bruin's heart with one shot. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26. 1916. WITHOUT HAT OR COAT. West Virginia Man May Have Found a New Health Cult. Wheeling, W. Va.—A new health cult may be founded here following the great success achieved by Joseph Bleifus, who has not worn a hat in two years and has not had even the semblance of a cold in that time. Bleifus has not only gone hatless for two years, but he has gone coatless. In all kinds of weather he has gone about without hat, coat or overcoat, and he has not been sick during that time. Bleifus is a big strapping fellow not yet out of his teens and with his brothers conducts a meat market. He is regarded as one of the finest specimens of physical manhood in the city. Bicycle riding induced him to shed surplus clothing. He found hats and coats cumbersome and superfluous, got out of the habit of wearing them and then passed them up altogether. HERO MEDAL ASKED FOR BABY Four-year-old Ran Two Miles For Aid For Injured Parents. Springfield, Mo.-Members of Florence lodge of Elks of this city have forwarded to the Carnegie hero fund commission at Pittsburgh the name of four-year-old Cleta Comstock, who lives near Cabool, Mo., as deserving of recognition for an act of heroism. Cleta was the only one not hurt when her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Comstock, her baby sister and herself were hurled from a wagon in a runaway accident in the timber near their home. The wagon collided with a tree. Both legs of both parents were broken, and the baby was bruised. Cleta ran two miles through the dark woods to the home of the nearest neighbor and summoned help. The accident occurred last November. The father and mother have recently been released from the hospital. ROBIN A FALSE CUPID. Love Note He Bore Gave Address Which Exists Not. Washington, D. C. - Cupid's robin, which made its appearance at Penn Yan, N. Y., recently, with a love note tied around its leg signed with the name of Miss Beatrice Hinman of 1182 Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, is apparently a false love messenger. There never was such a number as "1182 Pennsylvania avenue," for the postoffice building happens to occupy the entire block between Eleventh and Twelfth streets on that historic thoroughfare. Furthermore, the Washington city directory falls to record the name of Miss Beatrice Hinman. There is only one woman Hinman listed in the directory, and she is superintendent of Sibley hospital. FEARED THROUGH LIFE SHE'D BE BURIED ALIVE Strange Provisions Made In Wit of Woman. Los Angeles.—The will of Mrs. Laura Hemans White, who died in Pittsburgh nearly a year ago, has been received by Public Administrator Bryson in view of the distribution of the estate in Los Angeles county. The city of Los Angeles desires to purchase property belonging to the estate, at 3721 Downey avenue, now North Broadway, for school purposes. Before the deal could be closed it was necessary to have the will, because a clause bequeathes the property to Mrs. Apollonia P. M. Pelber for life. After Mrs. Melber's death the property is to go to Mrs. Katherine L. Hahn, a niece of Mrs. Melber and daughter of Victor Hahn. Because of her fear of a premature burial Mrs. White provided unusual means to determine that the spark of life had left her body before it was cremated. In her will she declared: "Having been all my life subject to bondage through fear of premature burial I will my body be kept until evident signs of decomposition declare themselves—at least a week—that it be visited and carefully inspected three times daily, for which the person performing this office shall, upon making avidit that it has been faithfully performed, receive the sum of $50. Just before cremation it shall be stabbed three times through the heart by a duly accredited physician, who shall receive therefor the sum of $20." A trust provison prohibits distribution of the estate for ten years. Among the holdings are a Bakersfield ranch, lots in San Diego and lots at Sunset beach and La Canada park. FIVE CENTS FOR HORSE. Farmer Made Bid as a Joke, but Creature Was Sold to Him. Georgetown, Del. -The lowest price ever paid for a horse in Delaware was received at a public sale of the property of Delaware Burton when David Warrington bought one for 5 cents. When it was offered for sale the bidding was very slack; in fact, there was no one to start it. Warrington, after considerable speculation, bid 5 cents just for fun and was dumfounded a moment later when it was knocked down to him at that price. The horse put in a full day soon hauling wood and, although it is rather thin, will develop with proper care, horsemen say, into an animal worth $100: Defective Page Wishes to Learn Scientific Agriculture So as to Help Both Himself and the People of Denmark—Son of Ranking Admiral and Is Young and Democratic—Likes a Simple Life. New York.—When the Scandinavian American iner Hellig Olav made her way into quarantine a pleasant faced young man stood beside her rail, petaling through a mist and trying to get a glimpse of the quarantine station that loomed indistinct and shadowy off the port bow. Almost as the vessel let go her anchor to await the arrival of the health officer of the port the coast guard cutter with the customs officials nosed a way out of the fog. On the cutter were Georg Bech, Danish consul in New York, and Dudley Field Malone, collector of the port. They were on board to welcome to the United States Prince Erik of Denmark, son of Prince Waldemar and cousin of the King of Denmark. The prince was the smiling young man on the steamer's deck. The cutter ran alongside, and as the officials started up the ladder an officer of the Hollig Olav appeared and "presented the skipper's compliments," but told reporters, photographers and moving picture men that they were not to be allowed on board. He was unmoved by their protestations and the cutter, with a disappointed crowd on board, backed away into the fog. The ship's officer smiled as he gravely touched the visor of his cap. There was no wait for customs officials to examine the prince's trunks, for the courtesy of free entry had been extended to the royal visitor. Prince Erik was described by his fellow passengers as having pleasant and democratic manners. He was popular with the cabin passengers. His traveling companion is Johannes Plum, a friend. The prince, instead of traveling incognito, as European royalty sometimes does, registered at a hotel here as "Prince Erik of Denmark." The prince intends to study scientific farming as it is carried on in America and to drop all rank and to settle down to the life of a real farmer. He speaks English, for he has lived two years on a farm in East Gloucestershire, England, where he made his home with a gentleman farmer and lived in a simple way. Erik is the son of the ranking admiral of the Danish navy. His mother was Princess Marie of Orléans. He has a brother who is also devoting his life to agricultural pursuits. PAINTED 1,000 CAT PICTURES Woman Stricken Blind After She Finishes Her Painting. Pittman, N. J.—Just as she has finished her thousandth painting of cats Mrs. E. M. Gardner has been stricken with blindness in her home here. Her sight held out just long enough for her to realize the ambition of her life. Mrs. Gardner, who has made her home here for many years, is a native of Colchester, Conn. Asa Packer, founder of Lehigh university, was a relative. She began painting thirty years ago in Philadelphia. Ever since she has painted only cats—cats of all types and degrees—aristocratic Persians and plain back yards. One room in her modest little home here is filled with such pictures. FIND FAN 400 YEARS OLD. Police Get Relic Once Owned by Pope's Mother In Stolen Loot. Evansville, Ind—An ivory and mother-of-pearl fan which the owner sold formerly belonged to the mother of Pope Plux IX., and is more than 400 years old, was recovered by the police here among loot from a number of Evansville homes which was found following the arrest of Walter Scott. thirty-six, an alleged housebreaker. The fan was given to Miss Minnie Henrich of this city by her mother, who had received it from her cousin, Rev. Mother Mary Magdalena, formerly connected with the family of Pope Plus IX. INDIAN DIES AT 150. Squaw Buried by Few Remaining Aged Members of Her Tribe. Bakersfield, Cal.-Mary Tecuyas, an Indian woman, reputed to be 150 years old, died recently and was buried by the few remaining members of her tribe. The aged squaw was the oldest member of an almost extinct tribe, known as the Tejons, who live in a canyon near here. The tribe is said to include fifteen Indians who are more than a hundred years old. Seventy-five Pounds of Honey In Tree Elberton, Ga.-Messrs. H. C. Rousey, W. J. Bone, Sam Bone and Frank Rousey cut a bee tree and got seventy-five pounds of honey from it. This is said to be the biggest amount of wild honey ever taken from a bee tree. 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 Indian. A special effort is being 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 Papagos," 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 necessity works out wonderful things. The Papagos have made their struggle 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 crib 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 Uses Pipe to Send Wheat From Plateau to Market. Wenatchee, Wash.-Instead of haining his wheat eleven 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 bushel to 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 fair 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 always been expensive for the farmer 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 saves the first year paid for it. The pipe runs from Keane's west field 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 "packer" from a thrashing machine to the town end of the pipe line, which automatically receives, sacks, and weighs 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 periodically hard winds that frequent this part of the state during the summer, and there been years when part 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 side and a two cent stamp on 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. Heifers Chase Rabbits. Pennsburg, Pa.-If a new idea of a Sunnytown farmer becomes a fad the rabbit dog may be pushed into the background. He has trained some of his heffers to scent and chase rabbits with as much success as dogs and, indeed, more cheaply. HID HUSBAND'S FALSE TEETH. Jefferson Swears That Is the Way His Wife Got Money From Him. Pittsburgh—It behooves all married tightwands who wear false teeth to beware. Often the subject of ridicule, artificial teeth have at last been found to serve a practical purpose in domestic life. Frank Jefferson in divorce court told a harrowing story of the manner in which his wife had frequently forced him to "come across" with money by the simple expedient of taking his false teeth and hiding them. The odd thing, to Jefferson's way of thinking, was that even when he waxed angry his wife would refuse to return his teeth. Only Uncle Sam's coin of the realm would persuade her that her husband's molars were essential and necessary to his daily existence. Mrs. Jefferson's side of the case was terse and to the point—her husband had refused her the money she believed she was entitled to as lady of the house. Consequently she took these measures to get it. USES SPOONS TO SAVE LIFE Knife and Rubber Tube Also Doctor's Implements In Operation Elkins, W, Va-With two tin teaspoons, a pocketknife and a piece of rubber tubing as its instruments Dr. H, W. Daniel of the Elkins hospital performed an operation on a woman apparently dying of diphtheria and saved her life, it was learned. Called to the mountain home of Mrs. Thurman Cobely, the doctor found the woman unconscious. Having no surgical instruments with him and realizing that death was near, he made an incision in the woman's windpipe with his knife, and, using the teaspoons bent double as retractors, he inserted the rubber tube. Respiration was restored, and within a few hours the patient regained consciousness, and it is said that her recovery is expected. ODDLY HEARS OF LEGACY. Benefactor Learns of Bequest After He Nearly Drowned. Gloucester City, N. J.-Through an account published of the fact that he had been rescued from drowning when he fell overboard while unloading coal at the Gloucester ferry wharf, Frank Taylor of 402 South Fourth street received word that he had been left a legacy by a relative in South Jersey, who died several months ago. An ant wrote from Deerfield, N. J., stating that they had been endeavoring to find him for several months and that they had read in a Philadelphia newspaper of his accident and hastened to notify him that when the relative died he had been mentioned in the will for a portion of the estate, which consisted of a farm and agricultural implements. Kansas City. Not until his six-year-old grandson took him in charge did Peter Franklin McCubbin of Virginia, eighty-two years old, ride on a railroad train. He passed through this city recently with the grandson, Morris Williamson, on the way to Salt Lake City, where he will live with his daughter, Morris's mother. At the Union station Mr. McCubbin showed a keen interest in things around him and said he had enjoyed his trip a great deal. "It wasn't because I was afraid of trains that I didn't ride on them," he said. "I just never had occasion to go anywhere I couldn't drive. "I raised a family of eight children, and although they all insisted, I never went to see any of them. They usually came home once a year and saved me the trouble. My wife traveled considerably, considering, and one of my daughters has been to Europe, but I always got along fine on the farm. When I got tired there I would hitch up and drive to Pittsville, and if the conversation there didn't suit me I would drive over to Eldredge, twenty miles away." HE BET ON THE ATHLETICS Georgia Tax Collector Now Admits $11,000 Shortage In Accounts. $1,100 Shares in Accounts. Waycross, Ga. After losing more than $3,000 belonging to the city of Waycross in bets laid in the chances of the Philadelphia Athletics to win the world's series of 1914 Alex C. Lowther, city clerk and tax collector of Waycross, attempted to regain the money lost by using other sums belonging to the city until his accounts were more than $11,000 short, according to a letter from Lowther made public by Mayor Scott T. Heaton. Lowther in his letter says he expects to repay the money taken. He returned the keys to the city vault. Loses $150 In Ice Hole. Waukesha, Wis. - While looking at Robert Hine cut holes in the ice on Pewaukee lake Carl Zinn of Milwaukee, who, with friends, was spending the day at the Zinn summer home, jerked a handkerchief from his pocket. A pocketbook containing $150 in bills and other valuable papers, which were in the pocket, fell into the hole. $2.40 PER YEAR SHUN MARKET, HIS WARNING Said it's Hopeless For Average Man to Expect to Accumulate Big Sum of Money by Stock Dealing—Lawyer's Wise Investment Years Ago Brought a Fortune—Has Never Speculated. New York.—"It is worse than hopeless for the average man to expect to amass a fortune or to make money by dealing in the stock market." And yet Samuel Untermyer, who made the foregoing statement in a letter addressed to the Rev. C. F. Relner, Grace Methodist Episcopal church, this city, is today some $0,000,000 richer than he was a year ago as the result of the phenomenal rise in the price of Bethlehem Steel stock. But Mr. Untermyer has not speculated. Twelve years ago he bought 15,000 shares of stock of the Bethlehem Steel company as an investment. For some of it he paid little as $25 a share, while none of it, according to the wisecres in Wall street, cost him more than twice that amount. The same stock today is selling around $450 a share, and Mr. Untermyer still holds the bulk of the 15,000 shares which he bought originally. He is holding the Photo by American Press Association. SAMUEL UNTERMYER. stock because of his belief in its intrinsic value. On its merits he believes the stock is worth $1,000 a share. This belief rests partly upon Mr. Untermyer's estimate of Mr. Charles M. Schwab as the greatest manufacturer and salesman of modern times. The story of how Mr. Untermyer came to form this estimate of Mr. Schwab and invest so heavily in the stock of the present Bethlehem Steel corporation recalls an interesting episode in the financial history of the United States when the methods of so called "high finance" were first exposed. This occurred early in 1903. A few months previously the United States Shipbuilding company had been organized under the laws of New Jersey, with $10,000,000 of first mortgage bonds and many millions of preferred and common stock. That company acquired a number of the leading shipyards of the country that are now owned by the Bethlehem Steel corporation. It also acquired the Bethlehem Steel plant from Mr. Schwab, who took a mortgage of $10,000,000 in part payment of the purchase price. Among the shipyards that went over to the new company were the Nixon works, at Elizabeth, N. J., owned by Lewis Nixon; the Bath ironworks of Maine; the Harlan & Hollingsworth shipyards, in Delaware, and shipyards in San Francisco owned by the Union Iron works. Within a few months after the organization of the company it went to smash. At this juncture Mr. Untermyer was retained by Roland B. Conklin, Max Nathan and certain other bondholders, together owning about $800,000 of the bonds, face value. On their behalf he began an action in New Jersey for the appointment of a receiver, declaring that the promotion and flotation of the securities was a fraud and that the properties, except the Bethlehem Steel works, had been turned over loaded with debt. A receiver was appointed. After a couple of years of legal warfare a settlement was reached by which a new company—the present Bethlehem Steel corporation—was formed, with $15,000,000 each of preferred and common stock. The old bondholders received 60 per cent of new common stock and 40 per cent of new preferred stock of the Bethlehem corporation for their bonds. While Wall street operators have sought to stimulate the bull campaign in the so called "war stocks" by calling attention from time to time to the big war orders received by the various steel, automobile and railway equipment companies, Mr. Untermyer has traveled about the country telling the public that he favors an embargo on arms and munitions.

LYNCHING THE CAUSE The appalling frequency of what may be called unnatural crimes is often the subject of remark these days. The case of the Updike brothers at Chicago, who confessed plotting the murder of father, mother and sister that they might inherit the family property at once; the charge brought against John Edward Telper in connection with the mysterious shooting near Buffalo, of which his mother, brother and sister were victims; the young university student who is alleged to have given a quick poison to his sweetheart at Lake Forest, and to have calmly watched her passing; the attempt at wholesale poisoning of Catholic prelates and priests at Chicago last week are recent incidents in what appears to be an unusual and peculiarly devilish epidemic of crime, directed against those who, through ties of blood and tenderness and respect if not reverence, should be safe from such assaults.—Detroit Free Press. There has been a great moral and spiritual decline in the United States and crime is the result. The horrible mob murders has taught the youth to place a low value upon human life.

The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Christians in the world, was split in twain in its thirty-fifth annual session in Chicago last September over the question of a charter and other administrative affairs. Since the Chicago convention two factions have been trying to settle their differences in court. Expensive litigation over the ownership of a valuable publishing plant at Nashville, Tenn., are now going on. The conservative, as well as the men of constructive power, have been trying to devise a plan to reunite the great organization. A most important meeting looking to that end has just been held in Washington, D. C. A strong peace memorial was prepared and will be presented next week to the executive board of the two conventions. Washington is to be the headquarters of the peace movement. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin was elected chairman, and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs the secretary of the publicity committee. AGAINST PROHIBITION. Although an advocate of temperance, Cardinal Gibbons denounced in strong terms the proposed state-wide prohibition bill now pending in the Maryland legislature. Here is what Cardinal Gibbons had to say on the question: "I am strongly opposed to any state-wide prohibition bill being passed by the legislature because I believe that such a law is impossible of enforcement in a city the size of Baltimore and its environs. "Such being the case a law of this kind interferes with personal liberty and rights and creates hypocrisy in the people. "The story of the world down to the present time demonstrates the fact that people always have and always will indulge in the use of intoxicating liquors." PLUTOCRATS DOING HARM Says the Saturday Evening Post: "The modern plutocratic ideal is to soar far away from the common lot and then volplane gracefully back to it. Why take the trouble to soar at all? Why not distribute the millions for the common weal before they are collected in the capacious individual reservoir?" Many of the men who have made great fortunes by questionable methods in some cases, and in nearly every case, by paying employees low wages. Carnegie made a great fortune and is now aiding race prejudice by endowing jimcrow libraries in the South and Rosenwald the Jewish multimillionaire is using some of his money to aid the Christians in proving that their religion is a fake by building jim crow Y. M. C. A's all over the country. AMERICANIZATION The basic need in America at this moment, and for many years to come, is the fusion of our heterogeneous population into an American entity. If we fought a civil war to prevent geographical division, we should find it worth while now to make some deliberate and mighty effort to prevent a more-insidious and fatal division. This effort should not be spasmodic and sporadic. It should be persistent and sweeping. The foregoing from the Chicago Tribune hits the nail on the head. And it is especially necessary for the colored people to stop trying to segregate. The colored person who advocates jimcrowism in church or state is an enemy of the Nation.

Ought to be Confirmed. (From the Christian Register.) If Mr. Brandeis should be confirmed as a Justice of the Supreme Court at Washington, that body will be marked in religious affairs by a wholesome heterogeneity. The Chief Justice is a Roman Catholic, Mr. Brandeis will stand over against him at the opposite extreme as a Jew, and between will come the usual variety. Probably the range between the two extremes will include the liberality of a Unitarian training and the sternness of orthodox Presbyterian. In this country it is a new thing for a Jew to be promoted to a station of such high honor. In England it is a commonplace phenomenon. The Lord Mayor of London, the Lord Chancellor, and a Prime Minister, with others, have been Jews who have served their country without exciting animosity. Into the melting-pot of American life all nationalities, politics, and religions are being thrown; and the amalgam which will be the result, it is to be hoped, will be fit to take the stamp of the noblest patriotism and idealism. The Congress on Christian Work in Latin America met in Panama recently. The "congress" is composed principally of Protestants from the United States, whose idea is that they can make converts among the Catholics in Central and South America. It is an inherently wrong plan, because the Latin Americans are already Christians and members of the Catholic church. Why expend money to change them from one sect to another. Certainly the Catholic religion which draws no racial line in Latin America is superior to the color-line cursed Protestantism of the United States. The Protestant Episcopal church will consider the acceptance of Rockefeller Foundation donations for its university and hospital at Shanghai, China, provided that such acceptance "does not interfere in any way with our own control of our church institutions," according to a resolution adopted by the board of foreign missions of the church. It is well to be wary. The Rockefeller Foundation is endeavoring to dominate everything. A suit against Major General J. Franklin Bell, U. S. A., and two other defendants has been filed in United States district court at Galveston, Tex., on behalf of twenty-six colored men, who ask damages amounting to $104,813. Texas City and the Texas City board of trade are co-defendants. The colored men charge that after the tropical hurricane of last August they were arrested and set at work with no promise of pay. General Bell was in command of troops then stationed at Texas City. Voliva the prophet of Zion City insists that the earth is flat. Many years ago, Rev. John Jasper of Richmond, Va., declared that the "Sund do move." He attracted considerable attention, and that's just about all that Volva desires at this time. 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 perfectly right. That is all right-perfectly right. Keep holding onto it, and if you find it, hands slipping split on them and try it again. Yours affectionately." in who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- ergment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- A Prominent and Valued Citizen Gone to His Final Rest. The Grim Reaper has again been quite busy in this community, and, as he is no respecter of persons, he selected on our valuable citizens in the person of Mr. Richard St. Anderson, who died at his home, 272 St. Anthony avenue, last Sunday morning of Bright's disease, aged 59 years. The deceased was born in Montgomery County, Missouri, and while a young man taught school in Missouri. He came to St. Paul about 33 years ago and some 30 years ago was apointer a letter carrier in the postoffice he being the third colored man to serve such an appointment. While employed in the postoffice he studied law and gave from the St. Paul College of Law several years ago. About two years ago he resigned from the postal service and gave his whole time to the practice of law and the handling of real estate. For years the deceased was an active member of St. James A. M. E. church and served as superintendent of the Sunday School, but left the church a split occurred several years ago. He was a charter member of Zion Presbyterian church and was ever afterward one of its most stavid and JAMES P. ANDERSON f faithful members and held the offices of elder and clerk of the session. His funeral was held at the church on last Tuesday afternoon and was quite impressive. The church was filled to capacity and there were many handsome floral offerings. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Joe W. Camp, the pastor, assisted by Rev. J. P. Sims, Rev. D. F. McCaslin and Mr. Jas. Sydam. The active pall bearers were letter carriers in uniform, as follows: Earl Walker, L. M. Thornton, R. W. Allen, L. Shelton, C. D. Milligan and James Quinn. The honorary pall bearers were James Cormican, J. McManigal and M. Mandl. Simpson & Wills, funeral directors, Inmanment & Oakland. The deceased leaves to mourn his loss his widow, sons and three sisters, viz; Missouri B. Anderson, Annie Stacke-Robinson and Cora E. Carr.

A large chorus of handsome young girls in songs and dances help the principals to send the farce along with rapid fire action. 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 playlanding the Colored people and misrepresenting Reconstruction, and to oppose production of such on the American stage. We command the opposition to such plays, especially by the colored citizens in Boston and Philadelphia at the theatre. Resolved, that by his endorsement of the segregation of clerks for color in the Treasury and Post Office Departments, President Woodrow Wilson broke his pre-election pledge to color 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 with some causes, we extend great feelings to our annual the Advancement of Colored People, the Wendell Phillips Memorial Assoc. clation, 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 Cause is the most notable event of the half-century of freedom. We urge the disfranchised 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 Amnapolis, Md., suffrage cases to the U. S. Attorney General Court with success and endorse, and Lawrenceigation in its refusal to accept President Wilson's endorsement of federal segregation. 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 inferior spirits rather than the lighter beverages which they could get in a bourgeois state. The fact that beer and wine are 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. 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 afterher 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 of the million dollar investment of the company in the further improvement of its service, which 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 farmer who, last year was appointed by Governor Capper as a delegate to represent the state at the California Fair. His sister, Miss L. C. Brower is proprietor of the Bichau farm which the Mackinac Island, Mich., which for the past decade has led the bulk of the high class cafe 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 Southern Alberta. 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 home-steading hardship in Southern Alberta. He has tided over the advantages of pioneer life for the past nine years and should have loyal support his pioneer work. Not only symbolized by his business proposition where 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. WASN'T DOWN SOUTH. So He Got His For Butting In Early Friday morning of last week N. H. Cater, "Kid" Rollins and Rolla Beard boarded the 2:00 a. m. Interurban car to go to their homes as is their usual custom. Beard was nearest to the gates as they were opened and of course immediately got on the car to give others a chance behind him. It seems that some southern white man and his girl were just behind him. Beard went in the car and took a vacant seat. The rabid southerner went to where Beard was sitting and cursed him outrageously and they were down south for daring to enter a car before a white woman. Beard said nothing of any consequence but another white man from Texas butted in and proceeded to abuse Beard and told him to take off his eye glasses so he could smash him in the face. As Beard's assailants were considerably intoxicated they became noisy and boisterous. At this juncture Casey and Rollins drew near Beard. The Texan aimed a blow at Rollins who side stepped and smashed him the face and the head was imprinted. Windows of the car were broken by the excited passengers. Casey then took a hand and held the crowd at bay and was joined by the conductor and motorman. A policeman got on the car and arrested the rabid Texan and Rollins. Casey went to the station with Rollins who put up bail and was immediately released. The rabid Texan was incarcerated in a cell as he had no bail money and no friends with any. The next morning the beligerrents were hailed into police court and fined Fifehout after hearing that he had committed the conductor and motorman, who said Rollins acted on the defensive, discharged him and then read a lecture to the rabid Texan and then fined him $10 for disorderly conduct. The rabid southerner who was the cause of the trouble sneaked off to the end of the car where the trouble began, like a cur that he was. It is very strange that so many white men seem to think that they can insult and assault with impunity eaceably inclined men who by the will of God are born with darker skins that they possess. Every once in a while they are painfully sight see the fallacy of their ideas. Its dollars to doughnuts the rabid Texan in this case has learned a much needed lesson. Judge Finehout is to be commended for the spirit of justice and fairness that actuated him. The manly action of Casey and Rollins is also deserving great praise as they doubtless prevented what might have been a terrible fractas. It pays to stand up manfully for your rights under any and all circumstances. PAID ADVERTISEMENT Fourth street, St. Paul, in behalf of the candidate here named, for which Prepaid by J. Q.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE TRI STATE SERVICE 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.
