Unearthing of Royal Tomb Greatest Archaeological Discovery of Modern Times.
Tomb of Tutankhamen, 1880 B. C.
Not Only Yields Vast Treasures,
but is Expected to Reveal
Historical Lore.
London.—That the recent unearthing of a royal tomb near Luxor is the greatest archaeological discovery in Egypt in modern times already is certain. How great, in the light which it throws on the vanished civilization that has made the wisdom of Egypt proverbial down all the ages, the discovery may prove to be—this remains for the secret of the still unopened inner chamber to reveal.
The story of the discovery, made by the earl of Carnarvon, whose wealth has enabled him to devote himself to the costly hobby of Egyptology, and Howard Carter, perhaps the finest living archaeological draughtman, reads like a romance. The valley of the tombs of the kings, where the find was made, is a desert ravine lying behind the barren cliffs and hills, which form the mighty walls of the Nile valley on the western bank of the river, some 450 miles above Cairo.
Senulchera Cut in Hills.
Seaporters Cut in Hills.
Here the Pharoshs of the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth dynasties, covering the period from about 1550 to 1090 B. C., were laid to rest in sepulchers cut into the sides of the hills, the burial chambers being deep down in the solid rock, approached by flights of steps and corridors, generally ornamented by rich carvings. The majority of existence of these tombs has been the common knowledge of all the centuries, though the precise location of each has not been known. For 2,000 or 3,000 years robbers have been busy with their treasures.
But for more than a generation past Mr. Carter's faith that tourists, in Thebes were stepping over priceless treasures in the bowels of the earth has not faltered, despite all that is known of the past riding, of the famous site. The beginning-of the story of the discovery goes back 33 years, when he began searching the Theban necropolis for a key to ancient Egypt. In that period he found a number of minor prizes, but since Lord Canarvon joined forces with him 17 years ago the discovery of the Hykos tablet was their greatest reward—up to the present.
Recently, after four days' work in the heart of the small sacred basin he and his party unearthed a step. Continued digging resulted in the excavation of a stairway which led right beneath the tomb of Rameses IX, an unimportant king, who lived some 8,000 years ago. At its foot was a door inscribed with the protocol of another Pharaoh, Tutankhamen, one of the most important kings of Egypt. It was the one remaining tomb of which there had been any hope of finding in the valley of the tombs of the kings.
But the opening of the tomb showed that the excavators had stumbled upon a discovery of unprecedented importance. No other royal tomb that has been opened in Egypt has contained such treasures as the tomb of Tutankhamen gave up. The lights of the searchers shone upon an age-old collection of gems and gold and alabaster—a collection which would fetch upward of $15,000,000 in any salesroom. But the value of the discovery was not to be stated in terms of money.
Third Chamber Not Entered.
The tomb was a treasury of the glories of Egypt in court of 1850 B.C. C. The tomb was found inside with ivory and jewels; then was the king's throne and the king's robes. Two statues showed him in his habit as be lived. Charlots were there for the dead Pharaoh's riding, masses of food for his riding; musical instruments, documents.
The state of the outer chambers showed that the tomb had been disturbed at least once in the past.
In the third chamber may (and, it is hoped, does) rest the mummy of Tutunkhimen himself. This third chamber has not yet been entered. The tomb has been sealed again until Lord Carnarvon, who has returned to England, goes back with a-picked band of experts to supervise the removal to the museum at Calreo. Then the secret of the inner chamber will be disclosed.
Fight Over Eight Cents Ends in Murder Charge
A quarrel over 8 cents resulted in the death of Henry A. Smith, fifty-two years old, at the hands of Hiram Denton, both of Clay county, Tennessee. Denton presented a bill to Smith for $188, but the latter insisted that he would not pay more than $1.80. Smith is said to have drawn a knife and Denton is charged with having killed him with a blow from a club.
THE APPEAL.
Flat Tire and Wooden Leg Win Victory for Accused
New York.—A flat tire and a wooden leg won a victory in Criminal court for C. G. Davis, a carpenter, appealing a police court sentence of five days in the county jail and a $50 fine. Patrolman Michael Carricato testified that Davis was driving his automobile in a big-zag manner and that he staggered when he left the car. Davis said the staggering was due to his wooden leg, and the zig-zagging of the car was due to the flat tire.
WHY CRABS KEEP BOARDERS
Professor Whose Double-Sexed Oyster
Won Fame Give Some Facts
About "Hermits."
London.—The mystery of the hermit crab a1 the reason why he always lives with "messesmates" of other species has at last been cleared up. Dr. J. H. Orton of the Plymouth Marine Biological laboratory, whose pet oyster became famous by revealing to science the power of the mollusc to change its sex, has studied the relationship of the common hermit crab to the anemone and certain aquatic worms which live communally with it. The conclusions reached by Doctor Orton are that both animals are benefited by their habits. The anemone derives advantages from the hermit crab by being dragged about with its tentacles on the ground, and being dragged back by the worms left on or by the crab. The crab obtains protection from fish attacks, owing to the unpleasantness of the anemones as food. In the case of the worm, one was observed to crawl alongside the body of the crab and literally take with impunity a piece of food from between the crab's jaws and bolt it—an action tolerated by the worm's landlord.
TEST FOR POWER OF PRESS
Obsessed by a desire to find her mother, of whom she remembers nothing because given into adoption at six months' age, and of whom she has been able to learn nothing. Mrs. Margaret Kordatsky of San Diego, Cal., has made a fervent plea to the power of the press to aid her.
Mrs. Kordatky is now twenty-five years of age and the mother of a daughter. She was adopted in Detroit by Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Rogers of that city and reared by them as their own daughter. She was not told of her adoption until after her marriage, about five years ago.
The adoption papers were signed February 27, 1898, in Detroit, by Mrs. Ada Sampson, according to Mrs. Kordatky, and that is all she has been able to learn so far, except that her mother had given her the names Blanche Cella, which the Rogerses disavowed for her present Christian name.
Her prayer is that her mother, if still living, will read somewhere of the daughter's cry for her and answer. Mrs. Kordatky's address is 8624 Cabrillo avenue, East San Diego. Photo shows Mrs. Kordatky as she appears today. She prays her mother will see it in some publication and think well enough of the subject and her write a letter.
Big Hawk Does Stunts.
Junction City, Kan.—A huge chicken hawk shared honors with the military aviators at the Fort Riley flying circuses recently. The hawk flying his appearance while the stunt flying was in progress and singing out one of the most daring of the flyers, proceeded to follow him through all his evolutions. Finally the flyer turned the nose of his machine upward, ascending to great height, and the hawk, still following him, was lost to sight.
Train Wrecks Hearse; Stop Funeral.
Indianapolis—Funeral services for Mrs. Golda Garle were conducted a day later than they had been planned.
A fast passenger train struck the hearse as the cortege passed over the tracks, demolishing the cabin. The crossing watchman admitted that he was so busy in watching the funeral procession that he forgot to lower the safety gates. The hearse driver was
Tree That Pioneers Thought Worthless is Utilized by Many Manufacturers.
Took Years of Investigation and Experiment—Difficult to Overcome Inherited Natural Prejudice That Wood Was Worthless.
Washington—At least 80 per cent of the American-born grandfathers and grandmothers in the United States are familiar with the slang meaning of the word "basswood." That is because such a percentage of these venerable persons came from the section of the country in which the basswood tree is indigenous. The reason for the use of such a slang term was that its colloquial meaning reflected the opinion of the value of the tree. When our grandparents wanted to describe an utterly worthless object or even a person deemed to be worthless, such a person or object was said to be "basswood," because of all the vast natural wealth which the pioneers found in this country the basswood tree was considered of least value.
In the early days when the American pioneer went into the wilderness he had to depend on the things he found in that environment to fill his everyday needs. He must build his houses and wood, he must wear his clothes of native fibers and must raise his own food. Such a civilization caused these people to put definite values upon all the products of nature. Everything had a value. Hickory was good for ax handles and ash for wagon tires. Pine and all kinds of oak were excellent firewood, but basswood was discovered to be good for nothing.
Its fibers were too spongy and stringy to work into anything useful. It was not strong to withstand pressure. It did not last long, and it would not burn well. Almost any other kind of waste wood at least would make a good fire, but basswood when set alight would sputter for a while and go out, and what little burning it would do gave very little heat in comparison with other fuels.
So it was not surprising that men and women who must put definite values on materials and on people surrounding them should coin a new word for their language and agree that basswood" should describe a useless material or groove in the states from the Atlantic coast to the prairies and from Georgia and Mississippi to the Canadian line the basswood tree grows in nearly every county and in this section the slang term basswood can be heard among old people to this day.
Science to the Rescue.
If this were a play, at this point the words "Enter science in the form of the Department of Agriculture" should be written. To pursue the fantasy, science would be a Prince Charming come to alter the life of Basswood, the Cinderella of the forest. It took some years of investigation and experimentation and the overcoming of the inherited natural prejudice and belief that basswood was worthless, but science persisted and the other day the Department of Agriculture issued from its press a booklet devoted entirely to its useless wood.
The booklet lists 680 practical uses of basswood!
The despised Cinderella of the forest, once the scorn of the pioneers, now is prized for many uses and chiefly through the investigative work and experimentation of this scientific workshop of Uncle Sam.
The scientists of the department consider all the characteristics of a commodity and select the good points. Then the end use to which such materials are intended is a wood of peculiarly clean appearance. Because of its spongy texture it does not split and therefore can be used in small pieces. Such characteristics, on consideration, were found to be very desirable in the manufacture of containers for food. People want to have food packed in clean containers which will not readily fall apart.
So the humble basswood came into wide use in the manufacture of such containers as lard palls, candy pails and pails for a variety of other foods. Its clean, white appearance was appreciated by homewives and manufacturers are quick to discover what the housewife, one of the best customers in the world, wants. Woodenware was the next development. Chopping hobbs and all sorts of wooden dishes were made from the discarded basswood which would not burn and was no good for construction. Soon another household use was developed and basswood appeared in the form of children's toys. Here again its clean appearance and its nonspitting qualities were valuable. Also, it is light in weight, and a basswood lion can be thrown much farther across the nursery than one made of a material as heavy as oak.
The household uses, ironing boards, wringers and other things used in the laundry and where white woodwork is at a premium, were made from it.
Nearly every one has seen the clean, white little wooden boxes in which
comb honey is gold, and, at least sub-consciously, thought how much more appetizing the delicacy appeared because of the appearance of the container. These boxes, as well as many other supplies of apiaries, are made of basswood.
Used in Fine Manufactures.
Once the presides was removed it was discovered that lots of things could be done with this wood if it were properly sawn and dried. Parts of it were used for furniture. It became a favorite material for dowels, the little cylindrical pieces of wood used to fit pieces of wood together, such as appear in the leaves of the dining-room table. Nothing it was found, would add to the clean appearance of a traveling trunk any more than basswood, and so it was used for the sides of trays and barrettes.
Picture frames and holdings, where a nonpittifying material was necessary, were found to be practical uses, and finally the outcast basswood was put into such fine manufactures as musical instruments.
One of its uses puts this material in every one's hands. Millions of matches which are struck every day all around the world have basswood sticks. Here was where the nonburning qualities of the wood, which once made it deprived, were capitalized. Bires are set by matches thrown away because they were broken. In addition, qualities of a basswood stick would minimise the dangerous afterglow and the fire would not last after it was needed.
So the progress continued. Kitchen cabinets, tobacco boxes, shoe lasts, Pullman-car finishing, handles of all sorts, thread shields, shade and map rollers, pulleys, and, finally, even caskets and coffins were made in part at least of basswood. In all 803 practical uses, and every year new users are being found. Even the string, ribbon excelsior which comes packed around dishes and other fragile articles is made from the once rejected basswood.
Production Runs High.
The total annual production is 250,000,000 board feet. The existing supply standing in the shape of basswood trees in the United States is estimated at 9,000,000,000 board feet.
From the lowly position it occupied in the estimation of our grandfathers it has risen to such a value that the Department of Agriculture now is advising farmers who have unused land to plant bamboo as a profitable form of food and to indigenous over a wide area of the country.
How industry, aided by investigative science, has developed this commodity is repeated in scores of instances in connection with many other commodities. In such step forward adds millions to the total wealth of the American people.
PLAN ATHLETICS FOR BABIES
Modified System of Setting Up Exer
clues in the human Selen-
tite Project.
Berlin—Athletics for babies after the age of four months is the latest German$^a$ scientific project. The athletic program begins with a modified course of setting up exercises, the course having been devised by Detley Neumann-Neurode, a former officer in the German army, in charge of the physical training of soldiers.
According to Neumann-Neurode he has concluded experiments covering eighteen months, and he declares his system has proved successful, especially in cases of children threatened with rickets. Babies unable to sit up because of physical weakness were able to do so after two months' training.
The process is carried out upon a table with an elastic cover. Upon this table the babies are systematically put through exercises which bring into use all of the muscles of the body. High indulgence of the plan has been given by Professor Bier and Professor Langstein, head of the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria institute, for decreasing the death rate among children.
Herr Neumann-Neurode states that exercises are not necessary for healthy babies if they are clothed to permit the freedom of all muscles of their bodies. His experiments were carried out with babies from four to seven months of age.
Briton Invents Process by Which Picture Is Reproduced at Distance of 100 Vards.
London—The Daily Mall announces that an electrician, T. T. Baker, a pioneer in photo telegraphy, has completed a process for wireless photography. It is said that he has found it possible to send by wireless a photograph which is reproduced on a sensitive film some distance away from the sending set.
The newspaper prints a picture, which, it says, was transmitted by Mr. Baker from one building to another building, 100 yards away, in three minutes. It adds that the process before long may be used for the transmission of pictures over unlimited areas.
Hops Fatten on Nuts.
Whiteburg, Ky.—One of the best nut crops, consisting of acorns, beech nuts and hickory nuts, is now on in the eastern Kentucky and southwest Virginia mountain, and hogs are fattening right along. Farmers of the mountains who have a surplus of swine are lucky and will reap beautiful harvests. It is said the crop is the largest in the history of the oldest inhabitants.
FIND DEFECTS IN MOST CHILDREN
University of Iowa Physicians Give Results of Free Clinical Examinations.
Over 90 Per Cent of Defects Found
Declared to Be Totally or Partial-
ly Correctable - Malnutri-
tion Is Common.
Don't you think the kiddies ought to be given every chance to develop into worth-your-citizens? What do you think of this campaign?
Iowa City, Ia.—An average of one physical defect for each of 966 Iowa children examined since September 25 has been found by Dr. John W. Prentice and Dr. Florence W. Johnston, University of Iowa physicians in the division of maternity and infant hygiene, who have been conducting free, clinical examinations in various parts of the state. Their work, however, has been aimed at the observation and suggested treatment of the physically subnormal rather than the normal child.
Over 90 per cent of the defects found were declared to be totally or partially correctable. The percentage of possible corrections decreases with the increasing age of the child.
Out of 965 children examined 952 defects were found. The defects multiply with the age of the child. It has been Doctor Prentice's observation that children have a many physical defects as do city children.
Malnutrition is found as often among farm children as among city children. Several reasons were ascribed to this; among them lack of variety in diet and defective teeth. The most frequent defects among rural children were found to be malnutrition, decayed teeth, enlarged adenoids and enlarged, diseased tonsils.
Need Variety in Food.
"Children need a variety of food elements as do livestock," said Doctor Prentice, referring to the well-balanced diet for farm animals that experts have prepared. "The rural children seem to get food in sufficient quantity but not the variety or balanced diet that enables all tissues of the body to develop properly. In other words, they live on a 'one-sided' diet. Children with bad teeth fall to masticate and digest their food well and they absorb and swallow harmful poisons that come from the decayed teeth." Children examined at the clinics are scheduled in advance if possible. Their histories are taken, they are examined, a chart of their physical state is made, a summary drawn and treatments recommended for defects. This record is kept by the county or school nurse with the name of the family physician. Children with severe health problems and they are instructed to take the child along with the record to the family physician.
About 50 per cent of the cases in communities where clinics have been held have reported to the family physicians as instructed, according to reports of nurses and physicians. It is believed this proportion will be greatly increased as the work advances.
Gives Advice on Diet.
In order to reach the children clinics are held in various towns and cities under the auspices of local physicians and county and school nurses. Doctor Prentice examines the children and Doctor Johnston acts as adviser to the mothers on questions of child diet, prenatal and postpartum care. The university physicians are trying to make assets instead of liabilities out of the subnormal children of Iowa by pointing out possible corrective measures. Results have indicated that the money, time and effort have been well expended, report division officials.
"The success of this great work," said Doctor Prentice, "has been made possible by the splendid co-operation of the doctors and county and school nurses in the various communities where clinics have been held.
"During recent years the general health and physical condition of our children has been improved by the work of infant welfare stations, children's clinics, school stations and many other such organizations. Likewise the maternity clinics have done much for mother and baby. And now we have the same opportunities brought to our rural communities through the work of the division of maternity and infant hygiene of the University of Iowa which is carrying out the provisions of the Sheppard-Towner law in Iowa. We need only to bear in mind the high percentage of physical unhiness among our rural boys as found by the army examinations in the recent war to realize the importance of this work."
Sea Changes Kill Fish Trade.
London—The failure of the herring industry in the North sea during the last two years has been due to the fact that the ocean currents have changed their course, says the chairman of the Scottish fishery board.
The huge shoals of herring which once inhabited the North sea near the Scottish coast, almost have disappeared, and with them the living of scores of fisher folk.
Lands in Barrel of Tar;
Loses Several Feet of Flesh
Berkley, Cal.-W. W. Glenn, proprietor of a soda water works in Sacramento, came to the Berkeley Emergency - hospital to have a coating of tar oil removed.
He told the police that while driving he was crowded off the road by a passing automobile and landed in a barrel of tar.
To remove the tar it was necessary to cut his clothing and shoes from his body. Several feet of skin went with the tar.
CARS ROT AS BOARD ROWS
Commission Unable to Apportion Rolling Stock of the Former Austrian Railroad.
Vienna.-While the members of the Austrian rolling stock commission are making efforts to decide how the equipment of the former Austrian railroads shall be divided among the newly-made states, thousands of locomotives and freight cars are rotting on the sidings of central Europe. The commission, which is composed of one representative of each of the seven states erected from the old Austrian empire, was appointed under the treaty of St. Germain to dispose of the railroads and rolling stock under a plan favorable to the allies.
The commission has so far been unable to come to a decision, and it has had to dismiss its staff of engineers and experts because of lack of funds. The British government has been advancing money, but last summer refused to loan any further amounts until repayment was guaranteed. The commission has been unable to do this, although the rolling stock in question is said to be worth $500,000,000.

Raiatea islanders in South Seas Have Curious Custom of Honoring Departed.
Papeete, Tahiti. A curious custom exists among the natives of the Island of Raiatea (the chief island of the Leeward group of the Society islands) to preserve the memory of deceased relatives. In the large church at Uturon, the principal settlement on that island, will be seen a great number of brass hanging lamps all about the building. Each of these has been presented by some native family in memory of some beloved member of the clan who has died and they constitute a memorial such as a bronze tablet or a stained glass window would represent in European countries.
BERLIN NOW TAXES GLUTTONY
Municipality Sets Restaurant's Maximum Bill and Levies 25 Per Cent on Excess.
Berlin.—A tax on gluttony is the latest method of raising funds to be devised by the municipality of Berlin.
Gluttony is defined in the regulations as excessive consumption of food or drink, and the fact of excess is determined by the cost of the meal. The figure in marks at which the gluttony begins is fixed and announced only. The cost of eating excess of this amount will be taxed at the rate of 25 per cent.
Living Pay Funeral Tax.
Berlin.—The small town of Stadttim, in Thuringia, has placed a capita tax of 70 marks upon every inhabitant of the village, the proceeds to be used by the city in detraying the burial expenses of all villagers who die.

NEW MINERALS
Field Museum Expedition Brings
Back Interesting Specimens
From Brazil.
Scientists Tell of Mountains of Iron
Ore of Finest Quality for Steel
Manufacture—Vast Gem
Fields Visited.
Chicago—A toopaz weighing five
pounds, remarkable not only for its
size but for its clearness, is among
the specimens brought back to Chicago
by Dr. Oliver C. Farrington,
curator of the department of geology
of Field museum, who has just
returned from an expedition to Brazil.
The expedition traveled 2,000 miles
through the diamond, gold and pre-
cious stone fields of the South Amer-
ican republic, covering more than 300
miles through the mountains of the
State of Minas Geraes on muleback.
The specimens obtained include
gold, diamonds aquamarines, beryla,
emeralds and topazes, besides a num-
ber of minerals of the rare earths.
Doctor Farrington believes he has
found one or two minerals hitherto
unknown in science.
Five toopaz toopaz is one of a
large number of enormous semi-pre-
cious stones obtained by the scientists,
but is small compared to a 26-pound
topaz which they saw at one of the
mines. The giant stone was valued
at about $75 a pound. Out up and
polished a first-grade toopaz is worth
from $5 to $10 a carat.
Diamond mines were visited in the region of Diamantina, 500 miles north of Rio Janeiro, in the center of a vast diamond bearing area. The stones can be mined only in the neighborhood of water for washing the coarse earth away. The diamonds are found in beds totally different from those in South Africa, the matrix being a quartz composed of sands washed from older lands. The semi-precious stones in the State of Minas Geraes are found in coarse granites or pegmatites so decomposed that the gems can be mined with a shovel. The expedition visited Morro Velho gold mine, the deepest mining shaft on earth. Its lowest level is 7,000 feet below the surface. At this great depth the temperature of the rock is degrees Fahrenheit, making it necessary to contain an ablative refrigeration plant on the surface to force cold air down to the mine. The deeper the shaft goes, however, the richer the ore found, so the additional cost of mining is more than offset by the returns.
Iron Ore Common.
Iron ore of the finest quality for steel manufacture is so common in this district, Doctor Farrington said, that his party rode for day after day over mountains, valleys and plains of solid iron deposits. Manganese, aluminum and other valuable ores were also found in abundance.
The Brazilians of the interior were almost uniformly friendly and willing to give every assistance to the scientists, Doctor Farrington reported, except in one town, where he was nearly mobbed when a rumor spread that he intended to buy a gold mine which was to be sold at auction. The natives objected to a foreign obtaining the mine and spent most of the night, in a demonstration in front of the house where he was staying, shooting, exploding dynamite cartridges, singing and shouting derivatively.
American automobiles, typewriters, sewing machines and other mechanical appliances are very common in the interior, and American men always almost a monopoly, he said. Even the remote villages have their movie theaters, where the American screen favorites are shown. Wild West films were the most popular.
Doctor's Fee a Leaf of Bread. Vienna. The physicians of Hotting, a Vienna suburb, have established their fees on the basis of bread costs. One leaf represents an office call, one and one-half loaves an outside visit. In the rural districts a similar system is growing, but based on a measure of four instead of the loaf of bread.
He Purchases a Book
He Lent 52 Years Ago
El Dorado, Kan.—Hector Sinclair, El Dorado pioneer, purchased a book, "The Works of Josephus," last week from a second hand book firm at Albany, N. Y., from which he occidentally hold books. He was greatly surprised when looking at it, to find "Hector Sinclair, Delah, N. Y., 1870," written on page 13.
Defective Page
The book proved to be the one presented to him in 1870 by a Baptist minister while he was working in Delhi. Mr. Sinclair-loaned the volume to an old Scotchman, and shortly afterward went to western New York to live. Upon returning to Delhi a year later, he found the Scotchman had died, and the book had disappeared.

BROTCHNER'S PHARMACY
A statement to THE APPEAL from a reputable woman in the community sets forth that the proprietor of Brotchner's Pharmacy was heard to remark that the assassin of Atty. O'Brien was a 'nigger,' because if he had not been one he would have known better.
The opinion, if it can be styled that, is ridiculous, of course. It is a manifestation of ignorance so great that it is hard to believe it exists in a rational adult. To any normal mind the name of the assailant, Bischiglia would disqualify a colored man, and if any doubt remained it should have been dispelled with the appearance of the man's picture in the Dispatch. So much for the absurdity of the opinion.
The language and the implication about knowing better is decidedly bad taste and bad business on Mr. Brotchner's part. At least sixty per cent of his trade—perhaps more—is colored. Here is a chance for colored people to talk the only language the white man understands—dollars. Our own Morris drug store is a block away on Central, and another fair pharmacy is two blocks down Rondo on Grotto. Colored people do not have to trade at Dale and Rondo, do they?
KLANSMAN STODDARD
Lothrop Stoddard, writer and essayist, author of the "Rising Tide of Color," the "Stakes of the War," and other works, and member of the Ku Klux Klan is to lecture at the Peoples church next Wednesday night under the auspices of the St. Paul Institute. His subjects will be the "Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy" and the "Problem of the Pacific."
Every one who can do so should hear the speaker if for no other reason than to find out the kind of doctrine the enemies of the darker races are using as propaganda. Mr. Stoddard is an enemy, not so much because he is a member of the Klan, but because he is a pseudo-scientist passing out opinion based on prejudice and conjecture rather than scientific data.
Dr. Franz Boas, an eminent anthropologist of Columbia university, has characterized the conclusions of Mr. Stoddard as set forth in the "Rising Tide of Color" as fallacious and unscientific. The Klan, according to Hearst's magazine for January, is making much of this book and its "revelations." It reveals nothing except that the white man turned from his policy of bull-dozing and aggrandizement to vicious propaganda.
The author's story of the unrest among the darker peoples is known to every student of world affairs and his figures on the population of the dark races are part of every school boy's mental equipment. It is not in stating these things but in interpreting them that the author goes astray—perhaps wilfully.
The truth of the matter is that the darker world's rising, if it is rising, is not against and because of the white world's supremacy, but because of and against its ruthless exploitation. The mutterings of hate and strife that arise from the yellow, black and brown corners of the world come because of the murder, rape and wilton appropriation of those lands and peoples by White Supremacy.
Although there will be, no doubt, some unpleasant, and, perhaps, some untrue things said of the colored reces, it will be beneficial to hear Mr. Stoddard—and the Klan—on the race
FORD'S COMING Among the thousands of laborers that will come to the twin cities as a result of the announcement that Ford
will build a large plant here will be a large number of colored people. The certainty of this inflow brings o mind the almost equal certainty hat neither St. Paul or Minneapolis is equipped with a well organized social agency to adjust a new element to the community. THE HELPERS is the only organization attempting social service work and it is admittedly unable to cope with a wave of migration. Matters of housing, employment, education and general community behavior are too important to leave to chance. Some organization, or some inter-organization council should begin to plan for the assimilation of newcomers.
WILL KILL THE KLAN
Shocking as are the barbarieties ascribed to the Ku Klux Klan in Louisiana, they are the natural consequence of the existence of such an organization. A society whose members disguise themselves, even to each other to some extent, and indulge in lawless vengeance on supposed wrongdoers, is certain to attract persons of the most vicious character. The baser elements have the opportunity to vent their personal spite on enemies, with security against any retaliation. The motives for the Mer Rouge atrocities, for example, are involved in more or less mystery. Theenser of civilization is removed from the vicious at the same time the mask is put on which prevents them from being recognized. Flendish cruelties are practiced by a masked mob, the worst kind of a mob.
The Ku Klux Klan will be short-lived because of atrocities committed by its worst members or even by persons not members who pose as much. The Klan doubleless contains many members of a better class, of reasonably humane instincts and ordinarily sane, but they will be forced to desert it, as several of the Mer Rouge witnesses were, because of its abominations. When it is not respectable in any community, regardless of its prejudices, to belong to the Klan, the end of it will be in sight. It will remain only for the regular authorities to deal with any awfulness that occurs, when violence is no longer given the mask of expectability. The Klan cannot be compared with the Vigilantes of Montana or Fascist of Italy, because both those organizations worked openly without fear, of public opinion. If it were merely secret, but not lawless, it would not be different from a hundred other societies. The combination of secrecy and illegal violence is what condemns it.—St. Paul Pioneer Press.
"It is anticipated that the race trouble will end now that the colored section of town has been burned down," says a news dispatch from Rosewood, Fla. Sounds much the same as that other famous lines: "Police began disarming Negroes as the first step in quelling the disturbance." As usual the public is led to believe that race wars are started and kept alive by the blacks. Regardless of who started it, this one thing is clear: the spirit of the Chicago, Washington and Tulsa riots — the spirit of FIGHT — is not dead. More colored than white are killed always because the black man has to fight the passive, often co-operating law and police forces as well as the lawless whites. A race riot used to mean slaughter of blacks by whites, but now it means a war between whites and blacks with casualties on both sides; and it will ever be thus until either the federal government or the several states step in and guarantee justice.
Well, we went down to the big city on Lake Michigan and saw the biggest thing in the Windy Town "Shuffle Along." Even after two years it is all that you hear it is, and it has Chicago " by the heels on a down-hill drag." In the words of Roscoe Simons, it would have done "our" white folks good to have seen the show. It is not as elaborate as John Murray Anderson's "Follies," but it is well staged, well dressed, and especially well sung. It is worth good money to hear Sissle and Blake sing and play "Ain'tcha Coming Back Mary Ann"; to see and hear the tuneful, dancing browskin chorus; to hear the Four Harmony Kings; and to chuckle, laugh and finally roar at the comedy of Miller and Lyles. The melodies stay with you for days. The show certainly deserves its London engagement.
Marcus is off on another money spending expedition. After various men and organizations have exposed his prodigious expenditure of the hard-won earnings of thousands of colored Americans, he concludes that a world tour is necessary to justify the aims of his organization in the eyes of the world. He is doing it in style, too. He helps the many titles, taking a few "Nights" with him, and a staff of hand picked reporters to type his inspired messages. When a man is dying, why not die in style? What is a patry $50,000 or $70,000 item for traveling expenses? "League" is for a canvas back duck and a Chesterfield mini small business indeed compared to the large scale extortion of the Hon. Marcus.
The Pittsburgh Courier carried a story of the St. Paul Business League's exhibition and gave the credit to Minneapolis. Later it issued the cuts of the boots in Union Hall and made the exhibition to Milwaukee. Wai! Two tickets if two tries, but anyway the Courier knew it happened somewhere out west.
RABBI WISE HITS KLAN AT ANNUAL MEETING OF N. A.
Branch Reports Heard; Mary B. Talbert Tells of Anti-Lynching Crusaders
New York, Jan. 12—Culminating in a night mass meeting in the town hall, New York city, the National Association of Colored People, held its annual meeting on January 2, 1923. In the election, a new member was added to the N. A. A. C. P. Board of Directors, Mr. Herbert K. Stockton of the law firm of Haight, Smith, Griffin and McKinney, and the Anti-lynching bill was instrumental in procuring a favorable report on the measure by the Senate committee on the judiciary.
Branch efforts against segregation in schools in Philadelphia, Boston and elsewhere, and the fight against the National War and the Birth of a Nation, film was made by delegates from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania, at the afternoon meeting in the Russel Sage Foundation building.
At the night mass meeting the speakers were Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, Spingarm the medallist for 1922 and the Anti-lynching Crusaders; Rabbi Stephen S, Wise; Dan Kelly, a white Texan, who was sent to Kirvin, Tex. by the N. A. A. C. P. to investigate the burning to death of three colored men; and James Welton Johnson, who reported on the fire at the anti-lynching crusaders and asserted a renewed fight for its enactment would be carried on.
Indifferent to Klan
Rabbi Wise in the course of his address, uttered a stinging rebuke and challenge to the Ku Klux Klan, and characterized as discreditable to the American people, the failure of the Senate to enact the Dyer antichronin bill.
"I was warned against coming to this meeting," said Rabbi Wise. "I may say to you that I am indifferent to the Ku Klux Klan may say about me or about my people. Their hatred is my honor; their disprise of my people is its coronation."
Rabbi Wise closed his address with an impassioned appeal that colored men as well as white, continue undaunted the fight against oppression. He said:
"I come to you tonight as a Jew and a Jewish teacher because I know two men have had cause to know how long continued oppression may degrade. I know—without uttering a word of bitterness or of hatred, for I feel none against my oppressors and my people's oppressors—my chief business in life is to move my people to stand erect, to lift their skies and to know that no matter what they do may do to them they must keep their souls undefiled.
"Fear Not."
"I come to you tonight a son and teacher of one of the earliest and oldest races in history who have achieved high culture; I come to you the action of the race. Which gave to the world the most wicked new, its patriarchs, its kings, its prophets, its evangelists—the races which gave to the world Abraham and Moses and Elijah and Isaiah and Jesus and John and Paul—the race of the spirit by which it lives; and I say to you, members, sons and daughters of the newest, in many senses, of the races who have been suffered 'o emerge from the darkness, I bid you have courage and fear not. To me, the race of my people, 'Fear thou not, my servant; fear thou not, my servant.'
"There shall be a minimum of justice and liberty laid at your door, and on the other hand those Americans who, like you and me, love our country, who believe that America and even-handed justice must be inter- and even-armed, share with you, we will protect you, we fight with you, we lawfully in the American way, not in the lawless way of the lyncher; we will fight with you as men and women until this shame shall have been ended, until lynching shall forever have passed from the nation and the life of the American people.
"And you, sons and daughters of the colored race, will render a great service, a supreme service, to you and my America if instead of bewarding your backs beneath the yoke of his foul and fendish oppression, you say to America: 'We are men; we live as men as we. Our wrongdoing is punished under and by the process of law; but lynching shall not be the portion of any man, white or black who lives under the American skies.'"
$1,000 Donation
Mrs. Mary B. Talbert announced for the anti-lynching Crusaders, that all of their work had been done without drawing any of the funds contributed and that those funds were to be turned over intact and entire to the Colored People. The Advancement of the Colored People for the anti-lynching campaign.
Before the close of the meeting,
Mr. Johnson announced the gift by
Mr. Philip Peabody of Boston of
$1,000 to the N. A. A. C. P.
New 'York' York, 12.—(Crusader Service) One of the most enjoyable recitals of the season was given last evening in the Broadhurst Theatre by Edna Thomas. The program was made up of plantation songs; the first two were spirituals and the second of creole songs and the tions of selections were demanded by the audience which packed the theatre. "I Got Shoes," "You May Bury Me in de East," and "Peter Walked" were the most popular.
Ask France To Deport All Colored Americans
Paris, Jan. 7 (Cnnader Service) — A branch of the Ku Klux Klan has been organized here and its first official act was to get American residents here to sign a petition to the French government asking the deportation of all colored Americans now living in France, said, will seek to effect this through the co-operation of the American embassy.
The anti-"Negro" feeling of white Americans here is nothing new. Neither is their resentment of the fact that the French people consider as an act accordingly the colored people and the flames of hatred have been fanned recently by the exploits of two colored men who soundly thrashed and deeply humiliated three American whites when the latter attempted to introduce jim crow laws unofficially and independent of the French government. American whites had the colored men locked up on a charge of assault but they were released when the colored men showed war service papers.
COLORED; BARRED BY HARVARD HEAD
SON OF GRADUATE REFUSED
RESIDENCE IN FRESHMAN
HALL; FATHER CLASS
ORATOR
New York, Jan. 11. A request of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, colored graduate of Harvard university, that a room be reserved in the freshman halls at Harvard for his son, has been reserved for the faculty, Lowell a, letter published in the New York World today disclosed. Replying to Mr. Bruce, President Lowell wrote: "I am sorry to have to tell you that in the freshman halls, where you are admitted freely, from the beginning the necessity of not including colored men. To the other dormitories and dining rooms they are admitted freely, but not in the freshman halls. I am sure you will understand why from the beginning the necessity to compel men of different races to reside together." Bruce, who lives at Kendall, Va., is the son of Blanche Kelso Bruce, former registrar of the United States college, of the 1902, a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and was chosen class orator. The son is preparing to enter Harvard at Phillips Exeter academy, according to the newspapers, a meeting of several of the Harvard graduates who signed a memorial to President Howell last June opposing what was asserted to be a breaking of the Harvard tradition as regards treatment of colored students was attended by President Lowell. Among the signers of the memorial, according to the paper, was Moorfield Store of Boston, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He was appointed to President Lowell by Bruce says:
"The policy of compulsory residence in the freshman halls is costly indeed, if it is the thing that constrains Harvard to enter open-eyed students in compulsory discrimination. Not race, but culture. I had supposed the basis of sound nationality. Have the Germans taught us nothing? If America is the melting pot, education is the rendered herself through the course of high endeavor the nation's university."
DORSEY DEPLORES DYER BILL FAILURE
Ex-Governor of Georgia Says Fadera
Government Cannot Delay
Action Long
In a letter written to the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, ex-Governor Hugh
My Dorsey, criticized his belief that the federal government cannot long delay taking cognizance of the lynching situation in America and deplores the failure to pass the Dyer anti-lynching bill in the Senate, where it was held up recently by Hilliburton Southern senators
Mr. Dorsey's letter is in part as follows:
"I am disappointed that the United States congress did not pas the Dyer anti-lynching bill. "The states have had ample opportunity to pass laws for the suppression of this evil, and have failed to do so. I cannot hope that now the states will cise their rights, but I have little hope that this will be the case. I cannot believe that the federal government can long delay taking cognizance of the situation, and indeed I hope they will not. Certain it is that the federal government should do something if Georgia is in the future fall as in the past." The state of Georgia was second among lynching states in 1922, having 11. Texas being first, with 16.
New York. Jan. 12.—(Crusader Service) A Moslem invasion of Europe, such an occured three centuries ago and spread the light of civilization into that then benigned continent, is the promise contained in the 'Near East situation, according to Bishop Edgar Blake of the Methodist Episcopal church in charge of the Mediterranean district.
Bishop Blake sees the Turks reinforced and aided by the warriors of Africa and India who are restless under the policy of European interference, the exploitation which has so often brought Europe into war and, in the opinion of many high authorities, constitute the real roots for the last war.
MER ROUGE PAIR BROKEN ON RACK DOCTORS SAY
Pathologists Say Machine Was Used to Crack Bones of Daniel and Richards
SKULLS OF BOTH CRUSHED
Murdered Men Subjected to Savage Torture of Middle Ages; Klan Openly Accused
Bastrop, La., Jan. 10—(Crusader Service) Testimony by experts, showing the almost unbelievable torture to which the murdered men were subjected, and by two of the victims who escaped with their lives but were cruelly lashed by the hooded features to days of open hearing into murdered F. F. Catt, David Thomas Richards, who were slain on the evening of Aug. 24. All involved are white.
Two of the best known pathologists in the South, Dr. Charles Duvall and John Laford, sworn that the terribly broken condition of the dead merman broke the dome of "datha" the dynamite blast which raised them to the surface of Lake LaFourche. J. L Daniel, father of Watt Daniel, and C. W. Andrews, both of whom were kidnapped by the hooded mob and barbarously lashed by a whipping in the Middle Ages "datha" dealing out its torture to the two young men, related their experiences on the night of the murders.
Dr. Duvall gave it as his opinion that the two dead men had been subjected to horrible torture in some of the Middle Ages when white "Christians" tortured and murdered each other for holding different opinions on religious matters.
"Torture" exclaimed the Attorney General. Do you believe they were subjected to torture?
"I certainly do," was the reply of the pathologist. "In my opinion they were subjected to the most inhuman 'orture'.
"I reply to questions. Dr. Duvall stated it would have been impossible for the bones to have been broken by dynamite because they were all broken in exactly the same way and because the breaks were old. Had the bones been broken after the bodies and lain in the water for weeks, that would have been simply wry, the character of the breaks."
Dr. Lanford, who has performed more than 1,500 autopsies and is almost as well known as Dr. Duvall, corroborated his associate's testimony that mortuaries were inflicted just before death brought mercy to the victims. C. W. Andrews, prominent resident of Mer Rouge and opponent of the man, who was whipped by the hooded man, were arrested. Mer Nordworthy, were returning from a abacuee, about a mile from Bastrop, when they were held up by fifteen or twenty men, all wearing shrouds and hoods. The band dragged him from his bed, and finally killed him, folded him and walked him fifty feet and stationed him beside J. Daniel, whom they had previously kidnapped. They accused him of shooting at Mer Rouge, he said, and finally subjected him to a painful wounding. Denials of having shot at the ex-convener of Mer Rouge, who is now under arrest in connection with the hooded murders here. Final or the witnesses testified the man recognized McKinom among the hooded mob.
New Orleans, La., Jan. 12 (Crusader Service).—Dr. J. H. Eason, preacher, and former high official of the invisible Garvey empire, died in Charity hospital Friday from bullet wounds received as he was leaving a church where he had denounced Marcel Garvey as a menace to the color race and revealed the secret vicious workings of the Garvey crowd. Persons who attended the meeting said three men fired the shots that killed Dr. Eason. The victim identified Fred Dyer and William Shakespeare, both known as his brother Marcus Garvey. He took his last words to be used in a statement against them when they are brought to trial.
Dr. Eason told the police, just before his death, the attack was the second on his life since October for being shot by Marcus Garvey. He said he left the University Garvey Improvement Association because of Garvey's methods.
Dyer denied knowledge of the crime but declared "Eason had it coming to him. He attacked Garvey, who is trying to do good. Eason is a disgruntled exile from our association. He was a beggar, attacked Garvey, and so somebody who evidently thought he had a good reason to take a crack at Eason decided to get him. I don't blame him."
The constitution of the Universal "Negro" Improvement Association condones crime when committed in the interest of the association.
LAUDS KLAN FOR $25
Mer Rouge, Jan. 12.—(Crusader Service) The Klan has its more side. In Mer Rouge this is represented, in a manner of speaking, by Rev Roy, pastor of the Methodists church, Roy, pastor of the Methodists Roy, $25 for church purposes after the murders. Thereupon the chirr son the national anthem and the pastor offered a prayer for the 100 per cent Fluxers and the success of their work organization. Many people are wondrous and amazed side that white Christianity in their United States can show at this latate.

GARVEY TO MAKE TOUR OF WORLD
U. N. I. A. Chief and Aides Will Begin Five Months Junket to Justify Purposes
New York.—Owing to the continuous general misrepresentations made of the aims and objects of the Universal "Negro" Improvement Association by the enemies of the movement and by the false opinion that certain colored organizations, leaders and suppliers, have created in the minds of a large number of white people of America, the Honorable Marcus-Garvey, President General of the Universal "Negro" Improvement Association, has decided for the purpose of presenting the association before the world in a proper light, to make a speaking address to the world starting from February next and continuing for several months. He will speak for five months in all the principal cities of the United States, to white and colored audiences, one month in the Dominion of Canada, two months in South and Central America, one month in the West Indies, two months in England, Scotland and Wales, Ireland, France and Switzerland, Spain and Germany, one month in Australia and one month in Japan.
In America, Mr. Garvey will speak to the majority of white people for the purpose of honestly informing them of the real program of the Universal "Negro" Improvement Association. "He will heil you before working alone the need for cooperation among them to make Africa the land of the blacks. Mr. Garvey shall also, while in Europe, continue the work of the delegation from the association recently returned from the League of Nations. It is rumored that among those to accompany Mr. Garvey are four of their friends in the interest of the association will be Sir William Ferris, editor of the Negro World; Lady Henrietta Vintor Davis, fourth assistant president general, and several secretaries and reporters.
Already arrangements are on the way for Mr. Garvey to speak in some of the arrangements will be made for him to speak in the Royal Albert Hall in London, England.
SCENES CLIPPED FROM "BIRTH OF A NATION"
SCENES CLIPPED FROM "BIRTH OF A NATION"
Following protests made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Alderman George W. Harris of New York city, the motion picture commission has eliminated objectionable features in film, "The Birth of a Nation." In a letter addressed to Walter White, assistant secretary, Mr. George H. Cobb, chairman of the motion picture commission, states: "In reply to yours of December 21 I be pleased that I have not been in a position to reply sooner. I left here on that date for update and have just returned. "We received a communication from Mr. Banzhf advising us that the eliminations which were ordered the birth of a Nation' have been made. We will follow the film to be sure that our orders concerning this picture have been fully complied with. The same procedure was adopted with this film as with all others except that a hearing was granted which has not been done in New York city, following which the Theater Owners Association of the city of New York composed of 850 theater owners and managers demonstrate the film, urging that it be withdrawn from further circulation.

BANDIT HERO IN CUBA
Popularity With People Makes His Capture Difficult.
Escapes From Mantanzas Jail by Blowing Hole in Wall at Midday—Sentenous Totaling 200 Years Hang Over His Head.
Havana, Cuba—With sentences totaling 200 years in prison hanging over his head and 250 troops and rural guards at his heels, Ramon Arroyo, Cuba's modern Jesse James, is still at large. His latest feat of escaping from the jail at Mantanzas through a hole blown in the thick walls at midday has again made him a popular hero and added to the difficulties of the authorities, for they claim nobody will help them follow his trail. Arroyo took to the high read about three years ago, and if the holdups, kidnappings and other unlawful attributes attributed to him are well founded, he operated in every part of the island before he went into retirement after two years of hectic endeavor, and with a fortune variously estimated at from $50,000 to $200,000. But last spring, while very precisely traveling from Mantanzas to a nearby village to attend a cock fight, he was captured by two rural guards, acting as a train escort, who held him first for carrying arms without a license, but loaded him with chains when they discovered he was the morally outlaw.
Brought to Havana, Arroyito was greeted by thousands at the railway station and his trip to the city jail resembled a triumphal procession. While being tried and convicted on numerous counts he perfected his plans for breaking loose from jail, and only the accidental presence of a mounted policeman on the harbor side of the jail prevented a clean getaway three months ago.
His escape from the Matanzas jail, where he was lodged to await trial for kidnapping, is credited to a former pal, Julio Ramirez, whom Arroyito once rescued from jail at Jaraco by holding up the warden and turnkeys single-handed in broad daylight.
AFTER GOAT, BUT GOT BABOON
Ape Drope From Tree Into Survey Driven by Woman on Long Island.
New York.—While Mrs. Samuel Powell, wife of a Babylon (L. L) letter carrier, was driving to Caplique in a survey, a baboon dropped from a tree to her shoulders in a back road near the village. Her screams were heard by an unidentified hunter, who came on the run and shot the monkey dead.
Mrs. Powell carried the carcass to Babylon, where she exhibited it. She will have it stuffed.
Mrs. Powell was on her way to Caplique to buy a goat.
Aid Breathing 68 Hours; Lives. New York.—After 66 hours of artificial respiration, Simon Shulin, 16, of Brooklyn, with paralysis resulting from a broken neck, regained his normal breathing and is on the road to recovery, according to a statement issued by the orthopedic hospital authorities.
The boy sustained a broken neck when he dived into shallow water at Coney Island.
