COAST TO COAST AIR MAIL LINE
Government Officials Plan to Have Service in Operation Soon.
UNCLE SAM WILL MAKE PROFIT
Planes Will Carry Letters From New York to San Francisco in 38 hours
—Lay Route as the Crow Flies.
Washington—Undefeal Sam will soon have an air mail route from New York to San Francisco. Congress has just increased the aerial appropriation to $1,415,000, an increase for the 1920-21 fiscal year of $864,500, to be used for this project.
This will mean that soon it will be possible to mail a letter in New York at 6 p. m. Saturday and get it to San Francisco by 8 a. m. Monday. By rail the same letter could get there no sooner than 8 a. m. Wednesday, more likely Thursday. The postage will be 2 cents. To get a straight fifty-word message through by wire costs $4.70, a night letter $1.30, or a ten-word straight message $1.30.
At the same time, Uncle Sam will make a profit on the letter.
The air mail routes already established are from New York to Philadelphia; New York to Cleveland, with a stop at Bellefonte, Pa; Cleveland to Chicago, with a stop at Bryan, Ohio; Chicago to Omaha, with a stop at Iowa City.
As the Crow Elles
The route is going as straight as a crow can fly toward the coast. With the new appropriation at an early date the route will be extended from Omaha to Cheyenne, to Salt Lake City or Ogden, to Reno, to Sacramento and to San Francisco.
The first branch route will run from Chicago to St. Louis, which service is to be inaugurated as soon as the factory delivers the planes, which have been ordered for some time. In due time, when appropriations are made, this line will be extended on south to New Orleans.
At the present time twin motor DeHavilands and single motor DeHavilands, capable of carrying 650 and 400 pounds of mail, respectively, are being used. They will be transferred to new routes and Martin and Thomas Morse planes, 1,500-pound capacity, especially built for mail service, will be used for the delivery of trains and Cleveland-Cheddar routes. The air mail business is growing by leaps and bounds, despite the fact that it is carried for the same rate as other mall. The experiment has been so successful that Postmaster General Burleson looks eagerly to the time when all first-class mail will be carried by airplanes.
"An airplane can put a cumbersome mall-distributing coach out of business," is the way one aerial mall division attache expressed it. "Several of these distributing coaches have been eliminated between Washington and New York. The airplane simply carries the mail, from the south, destined for New York, from Washington on. It arrives in New York early enough to be distributed at the postoffice to the carriers for the day's delivery.
New York to Chicago in nine hours.
Mail leaving New York at 6:30 a.m.
by m. by air reaches Cleveland at 10:30 a.m. by mail.
Chicago at 3:15 central time (by rail at 4:30 the next morning). Alr mail leaving New York at 9 a.m. reaches Washington at 11:36 a.m. and by rail it arrives at the capital at 3 p.m.
Five Martin planes have been delivered to the government. They cost about $40,000 each. Four 1,500-pound capacity Thomas Morse planes are being constructed, and when they are delivered the Chicago-St. Louis branch will be established.
The postoffice department now has forty-five planes and twenty-five flyers. When the routes are extended to the coast it will have eighty planes. Since the service was started May 15, 1918, six pilots have been killed.
There are forty-two letters to the pound. A Martin Thomas Morse plane can be on which $1,260 company postage has been paid, or nothing of the stimulant the rapid service offers to persons to send letters special delivery. All special mail is supposed to go by the quickest means. The extra profit to Uncle Sam in a special is 2 cents, the boy on the bicycle receiving 8 cents for delivering it. This would make the gross revenue for 1,500 pounds of special delivery mail $2,520.
Magnies Attack Cattle.
Deadwood, S. D.—Reports from the Limestone district of the northern Black hills, say maggies prove a real menace to the live stock. Maggies prefer fresh meat to carrion and when carcasses of dead animals are not to be obtained will attack sheep and cattle. It is said that hundreds of these miniature cultures will circle in the air and then alight on the animal in hundreds and ferociously eat holes in the most tender places.
Finish of a Monkey Faced Owl.
Bardstown, Ky.—A fine specimen of the monkey faced owl was killed here in a battle with crows. It measured three feet, tip to tip, and was of size about a dog. It was white, its eyes being surrounded with long silky feathers of white.
LIVE IN OLD BOATS
One Way Philadelphia People
Solve House Problem.
Tenant Population Are In Desperate Straits Owing to the High
Philadelphia.—A campaign for building homes is Philadelphia's answer to the question of how to keep rents down to a reasonable basis. The tenant population is in desperate straits, for rents have been going higher and no end seems to be in sight. The scramble for homes in the suburbs is so acute that when one woman moved some of the furniture out of her home the other day in order to clean the house 25 persons tried to rest it from her within a few hours. The profiteering in rents and homes is general organizations are attempting to coerce on a program of house building to allow for at least six months, or until the shortage has been relieved. These organizations include associations of tenants, trade unions, representatives of the building trades and mortgaging companies. They have been asked to undertake this work by the department of public welfare. Meanwhile, camping ground accessible by street cars is in great demand. Tent manufacturers say more orders have been placed for tents this month than ever before in Philadelphia's history. There is an unprecedented amount of building so cheap cottages and bungalows within a radius of 30 miles of Philadelphia to accommodate the rush of tenants that are when mild weather comes. Those erected in one community cost about $600 each are eagerly rented at $350 for the season.
Old canal-boats lying along the Schuylkill river are being fitted out as dwellings, and families are glad to rent them as temporary homes.
FARMERS SPURN GRAND PIANO
Instrument Sells for $250 as New
Yorkers Pay $150 for Blind
Sale
Riverhead, L. I.—The eastern Long Island farmer seems to be a critical fellow.
Just because he cannot use a plano to raise potatoes—there is no sort of affiliation, apparently, between music and potato growing—the farmer refuses to pay as much for the plano as he will for a blind horse.
Frank J. Corwin, the auctioneer, recently astonished the countryside when he got the farmers tumbling all over themselves to bid in a blind horse at $150 and loose hay for the sensational price of $75 a ton. He sort of reasoned that if a blind horse was worth that much a grand plano that could make jazz music without much effort ought to bring around $500.
But the farmers fooled him this time. In spite of all his coaxing, in spite of all his claims that Paderewski would be glad to have this instrument, it was knocked down for $2.50.
TRIES "MOVIE" STUNT; DIES
New York Lad, Aged Fifteen, Strangles Himself to Death with "Third Degree" Device.
New York.—The death of fifteen-year-old Solomon Bernstein is attributed by his two younger brothers, Samuel, thirteen, and Isador, ten, to what he learned of criminal methods from moving picture plays.
Solomon was found strangled to death on the cellar floor of his home. Around his neck was a small rope, tied in a noose. The other end was swung over a rafter. Tied to the end over a rafter were two iron weights. On the floor beside the body was a butter tub, kicked to pieces, evidently in his effort to pull a fetal head high. According to the improvised "third degree." According to the younger degree, the rope and weights were to be applied to Isadore, whom Solomon had accused of stealing a fountain pen cap.
AGREE ON REMOVING DEAD
French to Permit Disinterment of U. S. Men in the Fighting Zones September 15.
Washington—Removal of the American dead from within the fighting zones in France for transportation to the United States will begin after September 15 under an agreement between the American and French government. Bodies of men buried outside these zones now are being moved to this country.
The war department, in announcing the agreement, said the terms of the understanding limited the return of bodies of those whose removal to America had been specifically requested by the next of kin.
In transporting the bodies to French ports the American government has agreed to use not exceeding a maximum of 100 standard box cars at a time.
No More Fixin' for Him.
Covington, Ky.-Hugh Jones says he is done fixing something for somebody without knowing what he's got to fix, because, as he says, "I got myself in a fix fixin' things to be fixed." A $25 fine fixed it with the court, when Jones was charged with having connected a copper coil to a still. Revenue agents came upon Jones while he was at work.
THE APPEAL.
ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. JUNE 26. 1920
MODERN LIFE CAUSE OF ILLS
Brings About Innumerable Necessities for Adjustment in Individual.
MANY CURED DURING WAR
Medical Expert on the Psychoses and Neuroses Developed in Struggle—Chronic Worry Relieved After Real Reason Is Found.
New York—Fear and anxiety twin demons that make miserable so many lives, have their origin in inward conflict and can only be conquered by tracing the trouble to its source, says Dr. Frankwood E. Williams, associate medical director of the national committee for mental hygiene, in the current number of Mental Hygiene. Complex community life brings about innumerable necessities for adjustment in the individual, and failure to make these adjustments with a measurable degree of success is often responsible for so-called mental or nervous ills, technically termed psychoses or neuroses, according to Doctor Williams, who uses illustrations from the recent war to make this point clear.
Many Cured During the War. During the war many men, finding themselves in apparently intolerable positions, sought unconscious refuge in mental or nervous breakdowns. By tracing the history of the conflict so terminating the greater percentage of the mer might have been sent back to their commands completely restored and ready to face whatever might come. In fact, Doctor Williams says, many men of this type did recover completely with the aid of rest and proper psychiatric treatment, and fought bravely.
The measure of a man's success in handling life's problems, according to the article, lies in his skill in adjusting himself to the complicated life of modern society. Some fall completely, developing psychoses of a more or less serious nature, others are partly successful, but the difficulties of adjustment set up nervous disturbances that render them neurotic, while the majority succeed in making their adjustments without too great difficulty.
Relieving Chronic Worry.
Even among those who are apparently, however, thousands are found to be annoyed by anxiety, who are "chronic worriers," and whose uneasiness arises from an inner conflict which may be at by the use of proper methods and relieved. Doctor Williams says there must be obvious reasons for anxiety or fear, and that these should not be overlooked, but that often the real reason lies deep and must be carefully sought after before relief can come.
It is in these cases that the psychiatrist finds his deepest interest and his greatest chance to help. "Where the reaction is out of all proportion to a reasonably assignable cause, or where no reasonable cause may be found, then expert guidance and help are needed," says Doctor Williams, citing instances of persons afraid to ride in the subway, fearful of being alone, in comfortable, happy surroundings and worrying, and crying without apparent cause.
Detective's Hat
Stolen in Courtroom
Atlanta, Ga.—First it was an automobile blew by thieves while two members of the forces were investigating a case. Now it is Detective Howell, whose new $12 hat has attached itself to some unidentified person. The hat disappeared from superior courtroom while Detective Howell was on the witness stand. He placed his overcoat and hat on a nearby seat and began his answers to the prosecutor's quiz. When he got ready to leave he found his overcoat as he had left it, but his hat was gone and another, not so good, was there in its place.
DOG REMEMBERED IN WILL
Colorado Man Page Tribute to Companion Dogs of the Division of Dogs Shepherd Dogs
Denver, Colo.—The faithful service, devotion and companionship of his shepherd dog are remembered in the will of the late Louis Ferrari, who died at Albuquerque, N. M., en route to his mountain home in Bear Creek canyon, where he hoped that his last breath would be of the pure, pinescent mountain air.
Maggie, a beautiful, wonderfully intelligent shepherd dog, was Ferrari's constant companion for the last 12 years, and in his will he set aside $500 for her care and for her burial. When she dies she is to be placed in a coffin and laid to rest under a giant pine tree on the sunny slope of Brookville.
A Soldier's Farewell
Lexington, Ky.-A letter of farewell which Harry Cunningham wrote just before he went to death in battle against the mob. It was addressed to his mother.
FEAR WOMAN SHERIFF
Female Officer in New Jersey Respected by Lawbreakers.
Soon After Her Appointment Mra
Duer Demonstrated Her Worth
as an Officer.
Red Bank, N. J.—The presence of Mrs. Georgeanne Duer, deputy deputy sheriff, in Red Bank, N. J., is said to be responsible for their scarcity of crime in that vicinity. Shortly after her appointment Mrs. Duer demonstrated her worth as an officer, and since that time only a few petty acts of the theft have been reported.
Evildoors steer clear of Sheriff Duer's territory because she has the embarrassing habit of turning up unexpectedly at the right point to intercept a begging crook with his plunder. This behavior because the woman officer has lived in the same locality for 38 years and knows every way to turn in the highways, all the trolley connections and short cuts across the country.
Not only the office of deputy sheriff is filled by Mrs. Duer, but those of mayor and chief of police also have her as incumbent. In the case of the minor offenders whom she arrests, Mayor Duer quickly met out justice herself. When it is a case of "get out of town in two minutes" the female limb of the law acts in her capacity of chief of police and shows undesirable the shortest route out of Red Bank. She has run twoscore or more of these suspicious characters from domains.
Sheriff Duer is the mother of 15 children, now are boys. While the latter were grown up and organized them into a baseball team. A collection of prizes won by Sheriff Duer for fancy costumes worn by her on various occasions decorates the Duer home.
BERLIN ROBBERIES MULTIPLY
Holdups and Plain Theft Vastly Increase; Churn Are Not
Berlin, Germany—In these disturbed days, when the "revolution profeiler" faunts his wealth in the face of an impoverished populace, robberies and burglaries if Berlin increase at an abnormal pace. Street signs are full of announcements offering rewards for the return of stolen goods. In one of the main streets a fancy goods store displays this notice: "Gentlemen burglaries are requested not to break open the shop front nor to tamper with the locks. There is nothing to steal here. All property is removed from the shop windows at night."
There have been scores of holdups and the other day a man was stripped of his suit, shoes and hat and left on the sidewalk in his underclothes. It is not safe for hotel guests to leave any portable property of any description in their rooms.
There have been breaking have quadrupled in the last three years. Nor are churches, cemeteries and museums immune from robberies, the booty carried off being mostly ancient gold ornaments and jewelry.
AUNT AND NEPHEW TELL ALL
Say They Polished Hla Parents Year
and a Half Ago In
Salina, Kas.-Based on statements given him by Miss Stella Hyman and her nephew, Lee Bunch, that Bunch's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bunch, died a year and a half ago as a result of poison administered by Miss Hyman, County Attorney Healy prepared to have warrants issued charging the two with murder.
According to the statements of Bunch and his aunt, the alleged conspiracy to kill Mr. and Mrs. Bunch was devised because they refused to sanction the marriage of Miss Hyman and Lee Bunch.
Lee Bunch's statement made to Bunch in Lincoln Center, a village near here, Linda Center, put the poison in food. She also gave poison to Miss Nancy Bunch, sister of Lee, according to the statement. The sister is a permanent invalid from the effects of the poison, according to physicians. Mrs. Bunch was Miss Hyman's sister.
Educated Mine Rat Opens Dinner Pails of Workers
Workmen at the Richards colliery mount at Mount Carmel, Pa., say an educated rat has been responsible for their missing many good dinners recently. According to the miners, the rat inserts its tail in the ring of a dinner bucket and then takes a big jump. The lid usually comes off. When lunch time comes the men find their boxes empty.

TELLS OF FIGHT WITH CANNIBALS
Rice Party Has Encounter With Giant White Savages in South America.
NOT AFRAID OF FIREARMS
Professor Rice Says That In All His Experience in Tropical Jungles He Never Saw Such Ferocious Looking Savages.
New York.—The exploring party headed by Dr. Alexander Hamilton Rice, which clashed last February near the banks of the Orinoco with giant cannibals, returned here from Para.
With Doctor Rice came Mrs. Rice, formerly Mrs. George D. Widener of Philadelphia, who accompanied her husband on some of his South American explorations; Chester H. Ober, geographer of the expedition; A. W. Wanson, J. E. Mason and Dr. G. E. Byers.
It was while exploring an unnamed tributary of the Orinoco river that the party was attacked. The discharge of firearms failed to scare off the savages, who were described as large and fierce, and the explorers only escaped by firing into them, killing either two or three. The party then turned back.
Not Previously Seen Since 1763.
"The cannibals were almost white in color," Professor White said. "In all my years in the tropical jungles I have never seen such ferocious looking savages. Nearly all were armed with bows and arrows and carried spears and blowguns. They were more than six feet tall and I recognized the cannibal legion considered the most ferocious of all the savages in either Venezuela, Colombia, or Brazil."
The professor declared he believed it was the first time these cannibals were met by white men since 1763, when a Spanish expedition discovered them.
Record Trip for White Woman.
Mrs. Rice was not with her husband on the occasion of the attack on the party. However, she traveled with the party as far as Esmeralda, Brazil, penetrating further into the Amazon wilderness than any other white woman, according to the explorer.
The Rio Negro and other outlets of the Amazon were explored and charred, as well as the Casquale canal and the Upper Orinoco, Doctor Rice said. A number of specimens were brought back for the Peabody museum at Harvard.
QUEEN'S CHAIR IN JUNGLE
Africans Say Spirit of Old Chief Guards Supposed Gift of Victoria.
London.—The massive chair made of copper, which natives believe was given by the late Queen Victoria of England to an Ashanti chieftain and used by him as his throne, has been discovered in the midst of a jungle far from human habitation in the Gold Coast colony, West Africa. According to native legend, it was placed over the grave of the chieftain who had occupied it when alive.
In their superstition, they believe he still upon his old throne in spirit at certain times and, for this reason, they have never tried to move the chair, which they declare, has now rooted itself in the ground, says a disgrace to the Daily Gazette.
A Gold coast survivor first stumbled across this curiosity. A search party returned to the spot and found the jungle so dense that the natives had to hack a path with cuttles through the undergrowth.
In spite of inquiry, no confirmation of the native story as to the history of the chair has been obtainable and how it came to be in the jungle remains a mystery.
City Doubled Taxes on Profiteering Landlord
A 100 per cent increase in the assessed valuation of his property was the penalty imposed by the Detroit city council on Jacob Shevitz, owner of a nine-room apartment, who was accused of increasing their rents from $42 to $90 per month.
Dream That Will Not Come True.
Roncevie, W. Va., Miss Emma Huff almost became the wife of Bert Treadway, but the indications now are that she will never marry him. The license had been procured and the couple were on the way to a minister's when officers placed Treadway under arrest on the charge of murdering Charles Scott. Treadway has confessed and accepted a life term in the state penitentiary.

Lebanon, Ky.—After riding a mile on the pilot of the engine which had smashed his automobile, Rev. Father W. J. Rowlett told the engineer that he thought he never would bring his train to a stop. Father Rowlett was not even scratched.
BLASTS OPEN CANAL
Prince Connects Lake Caprolace
With Mediterranean.
Noted Italian Engineer Uses 50 Tons of Explosives and 1,200 Bombs In Undertaking.
Rome.-Don Gelasio Caetani, a brother of Prince Caetani, the American trained engineer who laid the mine which blew off the top of the mountain Col di Lana during the war, burying hundreds of Australian soldiers beneath it, has just dynamically a canal into existence from Lake Caprolace to the Mediterranean sea.
The work was undertaken by direction of the prince, also known as the duke of Sermoneta, head of the Roman Campagna and Terracina, a governor of the prince has labored for years to reclaim. On the seasheath of this strangest coastline there are three lakes or lagoons, called Pogiliano, Monac and Caprolace, communicating with each other, into which at high tide all kinds of fish find their way, remaining there to breed and fatten for the Roman market, to which every day some ten to forty hundred-weight are shipped.
Only one, that of Fogiliano, is directly connected with the sea, and in order to unite that of Caprolace with the neighboring Mediterranean, and to greatly increase the yield of fish, Prince Caetani decided to explode a series of mines so as to form a canal between this lake and the sea.
The undertaking took fifty tons of explosives as large bombs or five times as much as required to destroy the mountain top. It was successful, opening a channel to the sea.
'SEND US OIL.' FRANCE APPEAL
Twice President Wilson Saved Coun try From Grave Danger, It Is Shown.
Paris—Importations of oil would be subjected to government control and oil would be sold in France at prices fixed by the cabinet under the terms of a section of the tax bill being considered in the chamber of deputies. The limited monopoly in oil now held by the government would be extended until the first of next year. Discussion of the proposal in the chamber this week has brought out the fact that France was in grave danger during the war of a shortage of fuel and lubricating oils and that Premier Clemenceau had to appeal directly to President Wilson on two occasions. Profits on oil imported during the war were very large, it was charged, and there was sharp criticism of the Standard Oil company and the British Shell corporation in this connection.
"Crocodile" Eggs Cause Rush for Antidote.
London—Practical jokers find the English easy prey. A large number of persons, mostly women, in Newcastle were hoaxed by a stranger who started the report that eggs of a peculiar color, which had been sold over the week-end in local shops, for 5 cents apiece, were crocodile eggs from Egypt, and poisonous.
The only cure for those having eaten the eggs, he said, was peppermint, and there was a rush for the city drugstores. One chemist was visited by fifty women who would not leave until they had each been given a dose of peppermint. The eggs came from Denmark.
1,500 DOG TEAMS PASS POST
832 Men Sheltered at Manitoba Stop,
ping Place During the Past
Winter
The Pas, Manitoba—Sixteen hundred freight teams and 1,500 dog teams passed a stopping place at Rocky lake during the winter, according to the landlord of the stopping place.
This is the main trail to Filn-Flin mine. The landlord, Sam Cook, an Indian war veteran, adds that 832 men stopped with him overnight. He collects 25 cents from each team that puts up there and 25 cents from each traveler who eats there. Sam furnishes the dishes, water and fire only, and his wife looks after these items while Samuel garners in the fees.
If there is any grab left the munhers usually leave it for their host, and in this way his expenses for feeding himself, wife, two children and a tribe of relatives are kept down materially.
Yes. It Was a "Strad."
Parrottsville, Tenn.-H. C. Blazer found an old violin in the garret of his home here, where it had been undisturbed for half a century. He found it was a Stradivari and was made in Italy, and had covered the violin to the inside. Blazer doesn't know how the violin came into his family's possession.

HIT PRICE PEAK, DEALERS THINK
Refusal of Public to Meet Further Advances Credited With Turning Scale.
DEPARTMENT STORES LEAD
Clothing Stock Surplus, especially in Women's Wear, Likely to Bring Reductions—Silk Reductions Are to Be Permanent.
New York—The substantial reductions that have been made recently in the prices of all commodities by department and other stores throughout the country have led the buying public to wonder whether or not these reductions are the forerunners of continued reduction in the high prices that have prevailed since America entered the war. In an effort to ascertain the cause and probable extent of the downward movement, the New York Times has made inquiries among representative merchants in the wholesale and retail lines as well as among financial leaders. Their replies seem to agree that a permanent reduction movement has begun.
In the minds of many, however, there is still much doubt as to the meaning of the reductions that have been announced and made by the department stores and other commercial houses. Even those who are not yet ready to say that are sequential in prices is to be expected to predict that present levels will be maintained. A majority of wholesale and retail dealers admit that prices are too high and that a reaction must come before the public will begin free buying.
Surplus of Clothing.
One phase of the reductions made by department stores has been the effort of middlemen to discover how the plan is worked. Dozens of wholesale and retail dealers confessed that they or their agents had made purchases at department stores for comparison with their own prices and qualities.
The representative of a big London department store said he had bought from a department store certain articles much cheaper than prices quoted by manufacturers.
In the wholesale clothing trade it is generally admitted that there is a surplus of goods. By some this surplus is said to be due to unreasonable weather, and by others it is admitted that the public has refused to pay existing prices. A number of representatives of this group said reductions must be made all along the line, from the manufacturers to the retailer. With overstocks already on hand, clothing dealers are said to be canceling orders, while the mills are eager for business and willing to offer price concessions. It is now predicted that the company would during the coming season, if the reservation early fall orders, booked by the retailer, may be taken as a fair indication, but what is lost in volume, the clothing trade hopes, will be made up in a concentration on higher class garments.
Silk Reductions to Stay.
In the silk market it is no secret that price reductions which have been made are to be permanent. Huge stocks of raw silks are held in this country by Japanese interests and must be released following the break in the Japanese market, at substantially lower prices than were prevailing during midwinter when top prices were set. Members of this trade do not hesitate to say that prices have been too high, and that the time has come for a adjustment on an entirely new basis. A disposition to await developments has marked the cotton goods market. There has been only gradual easing off in the prices of printcloths and sheltings which have a wide variety of uses when finished. In the prices of sateens and other fabrics used by the clothing trades the reductions have been more marked. Belief is expressed in the financial data that commodity prices will continue to rise. It is believed that wholesale prices reached their peak in February, and that within a few weeks the reaction will take a stronger hold of the retail markets.
Wants Cat Wet Nurses
To Nurse Baby Foxes
New York.—A call for mother cats to nurse silver foxes was received in New York from an upstate fox farm owner. H. M. Bacon, president of the New York Fur Auction Sales corporation, to whom the appeal for cats was sent, said the fox farmer was willing to take all cats. The farmer can cat can $2.50 for six weeks' endower, he said. At end of six weeks, a litter of baby foxes becomes sufficiently mature to take solid food.

"BACK TO ABYSSINIA."
A lot of ignorant black men, attired in fantastic garments, bearing aloft the flag of Abyssinia, and led by an alleged Abyssinian, paraded in Chicago Sunday. The procession finally halted at a corner where the Abyssinian leader burned the American flag. This action was resented by the crowd composed of colored and white people and in the melee two white men were killed and two colored men, including a policeman, were dangerously wounded.
The toughs in the crowd tried to start a race riot, but sober white men and sober colored men stood together and trouble was averted. Colored men formed a posse, hunted down the men charged with murder and turned them over to the officers of the law.
The next day the Chicago Tribune, which for years has done everything in its power to stir up race prejudice, laid the cause of the trouble to the writings of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois and the N. A. A. C. P. and in a bitter editorial intimated that these influences were endeavoring to force "social equality," what ever that may mean. It is not likely that three men in all the motley crowd even knew that there is such a person in the world as Du Bois.
Then came some colored men who played into the Tribune's hands by giving out interviews which either denounced Du Bois or damned him with faint praise by saying that his philosophy was all right for high brows but dangerous for the men in the ordinary walks of life. One of the most disgusting of these is alleged to have been given by Mr. Anderson, said to be one of the assistant editors of the Chicago Defender. We trust Mr. Anderson did not say what was ascribed to him, as from his talk the readers of the Tribune would be led to infer that he was an advocate of segregation of every kind. And then he commented on intermarriage which really had no place in the controversy having been interjected by the Tribune without any reason whatever. Mr. Anderson appears to have done some queer talking when he said he was very anxious to keep the African
THE SIN OF SILENCE
To sin by silence protest makes cow The human race has test. Had no voice be injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide on The few who dare speak again to rig many.—Ella Wheeler
To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
blood pure as, so THE APPEAL is informed, Mr. Anderson is more white than black, one parent having been of pure Caucasian ancestry and the other more than half white. All that talk should have been left unsaid.
The Tribune writer garbled the story of "The Comet" from Du Bols' book, "Darkwater," and made it appear that the point was "the mating of a white woman and a negro from which a new race will spring." This is absolutely false. The colored hero who saved the life of a white woman had no thought of mating with the woman as he was already the husband of a brown woman and the father of a dark baby. The story ends with the pathetic meeting of the father and the mother who held in her arms the corpse of their dead baby.
Prof. DuBois has never taught treason and that was the cult of the miscreants who burned the American flag. He has advocated a fight by legal means for the removal of the hindrances which hamper the progress of the colored people.
Dr. Du Bois is one of the leading lights in the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, an inter-racial organization composed of about 90,000 colored members and 10,000 white members who are banded together to make America a real democracy. It is nation-wide in its influence, having about 350 branches in 43 states. The Governor of Minnesota, J. A. A. Burnquist is the president of the St. Paul branch of the association.
The eleventh annual conference of the association was held in Atlanta, Georgia, early in June. Much doubt was expressed prior to the conference as to whether the plain truth in regard to the race question could be spoken in Atlanta, but the association was true to its colors and every statement, every speech was frank, straight forward, evidencing no fear, but marked with sincerity.
The keynote of the conference was struck by James Weldon Johnson when he declared that the five principal demands of the colored people were (1) guaranty of safety of life by the abolition of lynching if necessary; (2) the colored man's untrammeled right to the ballot upon the same terms as other races; (3) the abolishment of "Jim Crow" cars; (4) equal educational and industrial opportunities; (5) the abolition of segregation, especially in the governmental departments in Washington. There is no treason in the foregoing program and no true American who believes in true democracy can find any fault with it. If it isn't right democracy, the United States is a fraud and Christianity is false.
From all reports the "Abyssinians" in Chicago are a lot of ignoramuses and criminals, just like the Italians camorra, labor sluggers and I. W. W. who, according to a well displayed notice in the Chicago Tribune, have committed 147 murders in Chicago since January 1 of this year. When the black men who desecrated and burned the American flag and then committed murder, have been proved guilty they should be hanged by the neck until they are dead.
The colored people in the United States are Americans, born on American soil, the census of 1910 showing that only 496 out of 12,000,000 were born in Africa. If the few who were born in Abyssinia wish to return to their native land, they have as much right to do as the Jews who are

BESTS SHREWD POLITICIANS.
Henry Lincoln Johnson was elected Georgia member of the Republican National Committee in spite of the schemes to prevent him from winning the honor.
Every possible influence was brought to bear on Johnson. Young Colonel Roosevelt came to him and told him that he must get off the track and allow a white man to be elected. Roosevelt was promptly "cussed out" for his interference, and told to attend to the business of his own state. Finally it was decided not to seat him until he had written a letter stating that he would make no further efforts to be elected and Johnson wrote the letter. However the statement was absolutely true, he did not make any further efforts. They were unnecessary, as he had already been elected by a vote of 12 to 3 for Roscoe Pickett, a white man, but for fear that the credentials committee would reverse its decision and unseat him, the fact was suppressed until it was too late for a change to be made. Politics as played in conventions is largely a battle of wits. Johnson matched his wits against some of the shrewdest minds in the game of politics and won.
HARRY SMITH FILES FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.
Hon. Harry Smith, the interpid editor of the Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette, has filed for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State of Ohio. Mr. Smith was a member of the Ohio Legislature three terms from 1894 to 1901 and had as fellow members ex-Governor Frank B. Willis and ex-Congressman Ralph D. Cole, who will be the next Governor of Ohio. He is eminently fitted to fill the office with credit to all concerned and he has THE APPEAL'S best wishes for success.
THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
The Republican platform adopted at Chicago is made up of the usual array of "glittering generalities." Some of the planks are good and some are very bad. The anti-lyning plank is a namby-pamby affair in which the party urges instead of pledges relief. Efforts were made to have a strong equal rights plank adopted and several were offered but all missed fire, principally because a Southern fireeater, former Senator Marlon Butler of South Carolina, made a speech in which he declared that the "South will never grant civil rights to the negro." This frightened the Northern members of the committee and "equal rights" were thrown into the discard. A Chicago colored delegate tried to bring up the matter in the convention but he was promptly squelched.
THE APPEAL was on hand with a plank as follows:
"The Republican Party reaffirms its belief in the absolute equality of all citizens of the United States, before the law, without regard to race, color or creed. This being a basic principle of the founders, the party now pledges the immediate repeal of all national laws in conflict with this principle, and the abolition of all national governmental rules and customs, in

The foregoing plank was sent to more than one hundred delegates to the national Republican convention, together with a letter requesting that the person addressed take a personal interest in urging its adoption by the resolutions committee. But it failed.
THE REASON.
The Boston Guardian edited by William Monroe Tratter, is the paper which stands first and foremost in the battle against jimcorwlism. The following editorial from a recent issue is timely:
The reason that a preparatory Y. M. C. A. or civic centre is a step backward is that in the North it means nothing less than an invitation to white men conducting places for public patronage or recreation, to refuse, deny or segregate all colored patronage and point to such an institution as a just reason for so doing, and soon the idea as well as the practice of setting colored Americans off by themselves in all places for public agmomation will spread until, as in many cities throughout the North will be found segregating or denial in the theaters, restaurants and such places, until it reaches the public schools.
Every attempt to help in any way the singling out of colored Americans as a race, in this country, for whom must be maintained separate places of public accommodation, must be defiantly fought, not even lending ear to the argument so common in cities of the middle West that such separate institutions furnishes "jobs" for our men and women.
The colored people can not sell their citizenship rights in education and with the proceeds, pay the salaries of a few persons who may get employment in such jim crow institutions.
ORGANIZED LABOR ERASES
COLOR LINE.
It is with considerable satisfaction that we learn from press dispatches, that the American Federation of Labor at its annual convention in session at Montreal, Can., June 10, wiped out the "color line" and warned its affiliated international unions that colored workers must be given full and equal membership with white men. This is certainly as it should be as it should always have been, for of one blood God made all men; and, He is no respecter of persons. His creatures surely would make no mistake in following His example.
THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT.
A movement started in the districts surrounding Cordovia, Spain, by the wealthier people to go without hats and also to wear sandals made of hemp in protest against high prices is spreading through Southern Spain. Hundreds have joined the silent demonstration, which is causing considerable pertubation among tradesmen. Let us hope that it will spread to this country.
"THE TRAGEDY OF THE HALF LOAF."
THE APPEAL heartily endorses every word of the following editorial from our enterprising and uncompromising contemporary, The Chicago Whip. What a pity that there are so few "Whips" among the papers edited by colored men:
The strongest races of men, and the most indomitable characters of history have always either uncompromisingly demanded every scintilla of their just rights, or, being denied the full measure of attainment of their ideals have spurned even life itself.
Patrick Henry in crying out for "either liberty of death," voiced the sentiment of the Pilgrim Fathers, who preferred the unknown horrors of the great uncharted Western ocean and the savage-ridden land beyond to religious oppression in a comfortable home.
But the American colored man is apparently satisfied with the HALF LOAF. For 250 years he was so told that he was entitled to NOTHING—that he even enjoyed life itself by suffrage. His mind was so deliberately dwarfed and stunted that he could not even think to the contrary.
So well was this psychology ingrained into him, that even today, race leaders of the old school, finding it impossible to break from this log cabin philosophy, "handed it down to free men."
He was so thoroughly robbed of his mentality, that he complacently helped manufacture the shot and shell which enabled his masters to keep him in slavery. When Liberty and Citizenship were granted him, his childish mind could not grasp their significance. He took what was given him with a thankful heart, thanks to the teachings of the old school.
He has not yet demanded unequivally all that is due him! He fears to refuse acceptance of the Half Loaf and demand the WHOLE, trembling lest he be denied any at all. With apologetic mien and smirking smile, he renders gratitude for Jim Crow Settlement Houses, Jim Crow Soldiers and Sailors' Clubs, Jim Crow Y. M. C. A.s, Jim Crow Officers' Training Camps, Jim Crow churches, fraternities and politics.
He thus plays the begger's role in spite of the fact that he has proven himself to be an indissoluble and
indivisible entity of the whole warp and woof of America, economic, political, military and social. He is the economic backbone of the South. He holds the balance of political power as he is beginning to learn. He has always been the fangs of the American army. His blood, suspected and unsuspected, flows in more veins than any other one strain in America.
He is still a slave if he accepts anything short of the full unstinted measure of recognition and respect. The New Colored American will never again be satisfied with EQUAL RIGHTS when they are not the SAME RIGHTS. The NEW Colored American, repudiating the teachings of the old school, who led him into the quagmire of peonage and serfdom MUST and WILL spurn the Half Loaf and lay hold onto the WHOLE LOAF, "so help him God."
DOUGLASS TO GET HIS DUE
Nominations have been received for the Hall of Fame at New York University to which fourteen are to be added this fall. Included in the nominations is the name of Frederick Douglass and it is confidently believed his name will receive favorable consideration. Douglass was considered worthy of having a statute erected in his honor in the city of Rochester, N. Y., it will now be eminently fitting to place his name in the Hall of Fame.
McADOO NOT THE MAN.
William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury in a recent letter in reply to a notice that he had been indorsed for the presidency by a trade council replied with a lot of bunk that "America needs its greatest man" and that he doubted that he possessed the qualifications necessary.
Well, Mr. McAdoo certainly took an accurate measure of himself. He is not in any sense a man fit to be president of a republic. He is a sectionalist who believes wholly in the South and has been one of the main props to keep the South in the saddle in the past seven years. He has no conception of a government, "of, by and for the people."
And we must not forget that he is the man who originated segregation in the treasury department at Washington.
"NEGRESS" IS NAUSEATING.
The following from the Chicago Tribune is a manly protest against the use of a word which is particularly offensive to colored women.
OBJECTS TO "NEGRESS."
Chicago.—(Editor of the Tribune.)
In two recent issues you published very fine and highly commendatory editorials on "Race Progress and Common Sense," yet, notwithstanding that, yesterday you state in glaring headlines the "Death of Mme. Walker, Wealthiest Negress." That word "Negress" is nauseating in the eyesight of all colored women and should be eliminated from the vocabulary, in which it has no rightful place. Above all, your paper should be the leader in this regard, if you really have the welfare of the colored race at heart.
SAMUEL Z. C. WESTERFIELD.
The colored men who persist in using "negro" as a race designation are largely to blame for the common use of a word which should be avoided. The colored people of the United States are Americans—that's all. The use of "negro" and "negress" is the cause of many discriminations against the colored people.
The word "negress" is nauseating, and so is the word "negro" when used as a racial designation for the colored people of the United States.
DUMB CANDIDATES
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces that fifteen of the seventeen presidential candidates failed to reply to a questionnaire sent them by the Association on February 18, and repeated on March 12, asking their views on seven main issues which colored people regard as fundamental. The questionnaire asked whether they were in favor of the enactment of federal laws against lynching; whether they would advocate Congressional enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment by reduction of enforcement of states which disfranchise their citizens, or whether they would advocate as an alternative the appointment of United States Commissioners to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment whether they would endeavor to bring about the abolition of Jim crow cars in interstate traffic; whether they would urge National aid to elementary education without discrimination against colored children: whether they would favor the apportionment of colored soldiers and officers in the army in proportion to their numbers in the population; whether they would abolish radical segregation in the civil service of the United States; whether they would withdraw armed or other interference with the independence of Haiti.
The two candidates who replied to the Association's questionnaire were Senators Harding and Poindexter, the former stating that it was not consistent with his views to take up the categorical questions asked by the Association, that conventions are called upon to enunciate platforms and policies and that the candidate selected must be expected to stand on the platform thus made. Senator Poindexter stated that he was "in favor of maintaining legal rights and opportunities of all our citizens, regardless of color or condition."

INSISTS UPON SEGREGATION.
It seems that the War Department is determined to continue its jim-crow policy. For sometime the people of Massachusetts have been endeavoring to have colored men admitted to all branches of the army, but the administration at Washington insists that Americans of different complexion must not fight together in defense of Old Glory and that it is the "patriotic duty" of colored Americans to be satisfied with jim-crowism.
In a recent letter to Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, Secretary Baker of the War Department "regretted" that nothing could be done "as a departure would have to be made from the War Department's policy of maintaining separate divisions for white and colored troops."
The letter ends with this paragraph: "It is believed that the colored citizens of Massachusetts should be reminded that it is the better part of patriotism to volunteer for such services as may be required rather than to attempt to lay down conditions which the War Department must meet before services can be expected of them."
When the world war was on colored American soldiers fought and died for the native land, although subjected to the most infamous discriminations and humiliations, and they would fight again if their country was menaced, but we do not believe that they ought to enlist at all in time of peace unless there is a radical change in the jim-crow policy which ruled during the world war.
Is It Fair?
(From the Monitor, Omaha.) To stand before the God of heaven and earth with trumpets and loud voice and proclaim: "Thank God we (U. S.) are not as other people are. We write upon our books laws granting to our people equality." Then write our laws abrogating the previous regulations? We do not think it feasible to put them in print, simply make it an unwritten rule that serves your purpose as well? To covet your neighbor's goods (rights) and if he should remonstrate with you, to slay him? For a so-called democracy to have two or more interpretations of the same word, each contrary to the other? To assert that a man is incapable of accomplishing a meritorious deed, giving him an honest chance for a try. To call a man whose distant parents or parent had Negro blood a Negro and a white man whose parents were Indian, Malay or Mongolian a white man still?
Permitted Their Enlistment
Washington, however, in the last days of the year, under representations to him that the free colored men who had served in his army were very much dissatisfied at being discarded, and fearing that they might seek employment in the British army, took the responsibility to depart from the resolution respecting them and gave license for their being enlisted.
Washington promised that if there was any objection on the part of Congress he would discontinue the enlisting of colored men, but, on January 15, 1776, Congress determined "that the free negroes who had served faithfully in the army at Cambridge may be re-enlisted therein, but no others." The entire aspect of the affair changed when, in 1779 the South began to be invaded. South Carolina, especially, was unable to make any court cases with militia, by reason of the great number of citizens necessary to remain home to prevent insurrections among the colored men and their desertions to the enemy, who were assiduous in their endeavors to excite both revolt and desertion.
The result was that in all the Southern states the legislatures passed resolutions to enlist the colored men, and the colored patriots of the Revolution are as much entitled as their white brethren for the ardor with which they fought the common enemy, whether they were bondmen or freemen. It has never been possible to give an exact statement as to the number of colored meh who served in the Revolution, for the reason that

"I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the Negro; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one tenth of one per cent of the colored people in America can trace their descent to Africa, and there is no doubt that they are Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm.

TESTIMONIAL TO GRADUATES.
By the Sterling Club at St. James A. M. E. Church, Sunday, June 20. The Sterling Club has been the recipient of warm congratulations for having furnished the very delightful evening's enjoyment on last Sunday at St. James A. M. E. Church, in its testimonial to our graduates, which filled the church to overflowing. The roster of graduates comprised: A. B. Huma, Minnesota University; Marion Cuthbert, Boston University; Douglas Crane, Macalester College; Anna Arnold, Anoka High School; Walter Chestnut, Mechanic Arts; Muriel Alexander, Cornell Benjamin, Peavy Johnson, Georgia Miller, Virginia Vasser, Walter Willis, of Central High School. Mr. O. C. Hall acted as master of ceremonies. The music was furnished by a volunteer choir of young misses under the very efficient direction of Mille. Lillian Antoinette Crafton, a recent addition to the musical talent of the city. The singing of the choir was simply delightful, testifying to the ability of the director.
The address of Mrs. Mary Feltz Dixon was most excellent being replete with good wholesome advice. Miss Cornellia Benjamin, who spoke for the graduates, did so with the grace, manner, diction and subject matter, that not only covered her with glory, but pleased everybody. Commissioner of Education, Rev. L. R. S. Ferguson, gave a most remarkable address that immensely delighted his audience. An appreciated feature was the fact that he—unlike the usual speakers—never once used a phrase or word that would indicate that he thought it necessary to use any special language other than that he would have used before any audience anywhere. His remarks were filled with food for thought, and made a decidedly favorable impression that will undoubtedly bear good fruit. Mr. T. R. Morgan rendered an artistic cornet solo with piano obligato by Prof. W. A. Weir that pleased everybody, as also did the baritone solo by Mr. J. H. Hickman, Jr. Both were musical gems.
Master Sidney Williams, as an accompanist, performed his part in a wonderfully artistic manner.
The delightful affair was closed with a benediction by Rev. A. H. Lealtad.
The Pioneer Press on Monday morning gave an account of the affair, but was in error as to its statement regarding the location of the testimonial and the club under whose auspices it was given.
