The Appeal

BEGIN TRIAL OF MARCUS GARVEY APPEAL ADVERTISEMENTS REACH A BUYING MARKET VOL. 39 NO. 21 BEGIN T VOTERS IN NORTH SCORED BY DYER FOR-BILL FAILURE Essay Conten Judges Pie By Frate Mrs. George Gooden dent of the Harriet Civic league; George Large Crowd Hears Sponsor of Anti-Lynching Bill at Pilgrim People of Country Must Be Roused to Need of Legislation, Speaker Says By Roy Wilkins "Lynching is the most horrible crime in all the world." Moved by this conviction and speaking with a fervor that marks him as a whole-souled champion of the wrongs of colored Americans, Representative Leonidas. C. Dyer, author of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, told a packed house at Pilgrim church last night that when you send these cowardly mobbists to the penitentiary, they'll stop this damnable crime," that the fate of the Dyer bill in the next congress would depend entirely upon the pressure brought to bear upon congressmen by colored voters and upon the support given the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by the colored people. Duty of Northern Voters "The fate of anti-lynching legislation is squarely up to the colored men and women who have the ballot," said the speaker. "In the last Congress, when I went to some Republican senators for support of this bill they said that there was no demand that it be passed; in other words you were asleep in your satisfaction with opportunities in the North and expected that a few of us could put the bill through." Rep. Dyer pointed out that it was the duty of the colored people in the North to come to the rescue of the people in the South who cannot help themselves. Self satisfied northerners were bitterly scored. "Colored people in the South are as weak as little children. They cannot do anything to help themselves. The remedy lies in the black bus in the North. When I see men in politics waiting to see which way the driver will blow, watching for driver or a job, when I hear of colored voters selling their votes on the streets of Northern cities when their brothers in Dixie cry out for help, I would that I could gather all such men together and send them down to Texas where they can't vote and bring others up here who will. N. A. A. C. P. Backed Bill "Had it not been for the N. A. A. C. P. we would never have got this bill through the House. Colored people have many organizations, but I say that the N. A. A. C. P. is the only one that helped me in this fight." Turning suddenly to the chairman, the speaker asked how many palms 1923 members were upon receiving a small number, launched in a delicious bit of irony that showed his knowledge of colored people. "Colored people as a people are all right, but instead of standing together upon issues like this in one compact organization, they fight among themselves as to who shall lead' or 'hold office.' The N.A.A.C.P. today should have 1,000,000 members instead of 100,000," he declared. "That membership would make even the Senate sit up and take notice." Bill Enforces Amendment In explaining the bill, Rep. Dyer said that it simply carried out the provision of the Fourteenth amendment giving Congress the power to enforce the clause guaranteeing equal protection of the law to all. "When Southern states prosecute and convict men for every crime except lynching, they are not giving all people equal protection of the law. This bill simply provides that Congress, in accordance with the power given it by the Fourteenth amendment, shall give protection by prosecuting and convicting mobbists in Federal courts where the ballot of prejudiced white men cannot reach." Rep. Dyer flayed the Republican members of both houses for their failure to support bill and in so doing to support their platform and the promises of their President. In his conclusion the speaked expressed the belief that the desire for service should be the motive for sincere and untiring support of the bill until it is passed. "God expects every man to do the greatest possible service for his fellow man. The man who has the mind and heart and does not use them to help others is surely unfit. I believe that the greatest service that any voter, any minister, any true Christian, black or white, can do for this country of ours is to wipe out lynching by means of this bill." Rep. Dyer was introduced by Mrs. Cora Bell Grissom, president of the city federation of colored women's clubs. Dr. V. D. Turner presided.

SUCCESSFUL DISTRICT CONFERENCE CLOSED Lectures, Demonstrations and Addresses Features of Sessions By Nettie A. Lewis. Waterloo, Ia., May 18.—More than 50 delegates from the St. Paul district of the Northwestern conference were entertained by the church members and citizens of Waterloo this week. Last night the delegates were welcomed on behalf of the city by Mayor A. E. Gnagy, and on behalf of the Ministers' alliance by Rev. A. C. Curran of Grace M. E. church. Among those who placed cars at the disposal of the delegates were: Mrs. Dora Highland, Mrs. Norris Thurmond, Gale Oliver, Jessie Garrison, Henry Mosa, Hubert Smith, Richilien Cheatham and Mrs. Ida Bugg. Delegates to the third annual conference and Sunday school convention of the St. Paul District of the Northwestern conference of the A. M. E. church, which met in Waterloo, Iowa, last week returned to St. Paul with glowing reports of the work accomplished in the four day session. District Superintendent O. C. Hall, Mrs. Bertha Lewis King and Roy Wilkins shared honors in the two day session of the Sunday school convention. Mr. Hall's annual address, in which he outlined qualifications for the modern church school teacher was delivered in his usual masterful manner. Mr. King's demonstration of the teaching of a preroy was easily the feature of the convention and stamped her as the most competent teacher of this work in the whole Northwest conference. Mr. Wilkins' address on young people's work was comprehensive and well received. Other papers and talks on phases of church work throughout the district were given by the various charges. Inspiring music, which was the talk of the assembled delegates, was furnished by the young people's choir of Waterloo. The program for the first session was furnished by Mrs. Florence Duckett, who gave a lecture on missions and missionaries in the A. M. E. church, illustrated with slides from a stereoticon machine. Officers elected by the conference and convention were: for the Sunday school: O. C. Hall, superintendent; Ruby Washington, secretary; Bertha King, treasurer. For the Mite Missionary society: Mrs. Fannie Pierre, President; Mrs. Marie Waters, first vice president; Mrs. P. M. Lewis, second vice president; Mrs. Bertha King, chairman executive board; Mrs. Mattie Boyd, chairman on Ways and Means. For the Allen C. E. League: Miss Nettie Adams Lewis, president; Miss Mary James, secretary; Miss Irma Lavelle, assistant secretary; Hubert Smith, treasurer. The conference will come to the Bethel church, St. Paul, next year. YOU'LL WA These A THE COLOR By William THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. MAY 26, 1923 CITIZENS PROTEST SUSPENSION.OF PATROLMAN GOINS "Most Efficient Officer Eier at Corner," Says Business Men DISMISSED AFTER THREAT Reprimanded 'Motorist Threatens to Get Officer's Job—Secures Suspension Citizens and business men in the vicinity of Dale and University filed a protest with Commissioner Matson and Chief of Police Sommer on the suspension of Patrolman Homer Goins, alleging that the suspension was unjust and uncalled for and that the corner-needed Patrolman Goins on duty. Officers Goins returned to his beat yesterday morning. The trouble arose over a reprimand administered by Officer Goins to a motorist, one Fineberg, who drove past the open gates of an interurban street car as passengers were boarding and alighting from the car at Dale and University. According to eye-witnesses the motorist became abusive and demanded that he be arrested and taken to the station in the patrol, saying all the while. 'The chief runs, from me, and you can't touch me.' After his release on bail he returned to the corner and in the presence of H. G. Egbert, proprietor of the drug store, threatened to get Patrolman Goins' job. The next morning Officer Goins was suspended. Commissioner Matson received the delegation of business men which included the owners and managers of grocery, drug, hardware, confectionery and meat stores, very cordially, and thanked them for their praise of Officer Goins. Chief Sommer refused comment other than to say that Patrolman Goins was suspended for insubordination. Henry G. Egbert, druggist, told The Appeal reporter that never had the intersection had an officer as efficient as Patrolman Goins. "Often he would stop the heavy traffic and take children across the street to the stores. He was always giving complete police service to this vicinity; and in this particular case he was right, as right as he could be, and we'll stand by him even against headquarters." Chief Sommer had no comment on the case. TWO HIGH SCHOOLS TO COST $1,500,000 A great colored school, with seventy classrooms and an auditorium seating one thousand, is under construction in Norfolk, Va., at a cost of about $500,000. It will be one of the largest school buildings in the South and will provide elementary, vocational and high school training for 2,000 students. Meantime, Baltimore has completed plans for a million dollars colored high school, with more than fifty rooms and an auditorium that will seat 1,700. NEW JERSEY ENACTS ANTI-LYNCHING LAW The Randolph anti-lynching bill, passed by the legislature of New Jersey, has received the governor's signature and becomes a law. It provides that any city or county which permits mob violence may be held liable for a $5,000 penalty. A similar law has passed the lower house of Pennsylvania legislature, with only one dissenting vote. The entire Democratic delegation of forty-three members supported the bill. Porter Wright Is Found Not Guilty Of Whisky Charge Sleeping Car Employe Freed in Case Brought by Special Agent Webb Alfred Wright, Soo Line sleeping car opter, was found not guilty Tuesday night of the charge of transporting liquor by a jury in the court of Judge Hanft. Special Agent Webb of the Soo Line charged Wright with having the liquor and having locked him in the ladies' room of the car while the train was running between St. Paul and Minneapolis, during which time the liquor contained in two suit cases and a grip was thrown from the train. Webb claims to have broken out of the ladies' room, stopped the train and recovered the whiskey alongside the track. A suit case and a grip containing 17 bottles of Scotch was produced in court. The liquor was tested by the St. Paul city chemist and declared to be 90 proof. Wright was defended by Attorney W. T. Francis.

HOSPITAL MUDDLE AT TUSKEGEE IS STILL UNSETTLED Conflicting Reports Out Regarding Appointment of Director WHITE DIRECTOR, RUMOR Harding Says Decision for Colored Personnel Is Unchanged (Crusader Service) Washington, May 25.—Declaring that selection of a colored personnel for the Tuskegee (Ala.) hospital for colored veterans of the World War, would require time and that meantime it was necessary to retain white officers, President Harding refused to reconsider his decision to appoint white medical officers to positions, leaving to colored people only such subordinate positions as ward doctors, nurses, attendants and laborers. That statement was made officially as the White House last week in an explanation of the policy toward the row between colored civil rights organizations and white residents of Tuskegee over control of the institution. Representatives of colored civil rights organizations said tonight the White House statement would not satisfy their organizations. HARDING. POSITION UNCHANGED. REPORT New York, May 25.—Reports that the Tuskegee hospital for colored war veterans at Tuskegee, Alabama would be opened with a white director and white doctors, despite the assurance from President Harding that it was to be manned "completely" by a colored personnel, has led to a new exchange of letters between the N. A. A. C. P. and the White House. On May 12, a letter was sent to the White House in Washington, by Herbert J. Seligmann, director of publicity of the N. A. A. C. P. asking whether there was to be a mixed staff and whether the president has reversed his decision that the hospital would be manned by a "completely odored personnel." In reply to this communication, the following assurance was received by the N. A. A. C. P. from the White House: "May 16, 1925 'My Dearest Mr. Seligmann: "My Dear Mr. Sengmann: "Replying to your letter of May 12th, I wish to say that there is no change in the attitude of the Presi- dent concerning the matter to which you refer. "Sincerely yours, (Signed) George B. Christian, Jr." HENRY FORD WRITES ON RACE RELATIONS In a recent editorial in his paper, the Dearborn Independent, Henry Ford has this timely word to say relative to race relations: "There is no need of race hatred in America, even though there is a race question. . . . The race that calls itself superior can prove its superiority only by superior ability to help others, and can attain its racial destiny only as helper of the others. The colored man is a human being capable of integrity, loyalty, domestic peace and prosperity, and as a human being he is entitled to opportunity to develop and exhibit those qualities of the colored human rights. Where the colored man has been given opportunity he has proved a community asset; his labor and his contribution to the development of the country are capable of being increased. Race correction by education is always the superior way and not coersion. The colored man should be regarded with full humanity and treated with entire justice." BE "IN THE KNOW"--- READ APPEAL EDITORIALS Seven Students Candidates For Degrees At "U" Among the 1,500 senior students assembled for the annual Cap and Gown day parade and exercises at the University of Minnesota, May 17, were six colored candidates for degrees.

With Other Officers Charged With Fraud TRIAL MAY LAST ONE MONTH Brilliant Array of Legal Talent For Both Defense and Prosecution New York, May 24.—(K. N. F. Service)—After repeated postponements lasting nearly a year the case of the Federal government, against Marcus Garvey, Provincial President of Africa and head of the Universal Negro Imporment Association, for alleged use of the mails to defraud finally came to a hearing before Judge Cornelius Mack in the Federal court on Friday, May 18. Arrained with Garvey are Elie Garcia, ex-Auditor General of the U. N. I. A.; George W. Tobias, treasurer, and Orlando Thompson, secretary general. Array of Talent Appearing for Garvey are Attorneys C. W. McDougall, formerly Assistant District Attorney, and Vernal Williams. Garcia is defended by by Lincoln Johnson, Tobias by Atty. J. Matthews, and Thompson by Atty. W. Ifley. The prosecutor is Asst. Dist. Attorney Mattucks. Considerable trouble was experienced in the impanelling of the jury. The right of challenge was freely excised on both sides. After a delay that consumed almost the whole day the following jurors were selected: Wm. J. Kerr, C. Delana Knapp, Samuer J. Moorhead, Martin Kregan, Geo. B. McLellan, Charles J. Jansen, Leo Pankus, George Burt, Frank Conland, Daniel McElkenny, Edwin J. Scott, Lansing A. Wood. Sketches Case. Assistant District Attorney Mattucks opened with an outline of the case in which he emphasized that the government was not concerned "with any fools" dream however foolish it may be for the social advancement and betterment of a people." No one, he insisted, was more willing to assist in getting the rights of any oppressed portion of the population than he. But that, he said, was not the question in the case. The question to be dealt with, he said, was alleged manipulation of the million or more dollars that passed into the Black Star Line. These funds, he declared had been fraudulently obtained and that Garvey and the other defendants had used the Negro World for soliciting the money. The duty of the jury, he said, was to find out whether a large number of poor persons were victimized. The court room was crowded. The trial promises to be a long one from the array of witnesses on both sides. MRS. HARRIET WILLIAMS MARRIED IN QUINCY, ILL. Rev. B. N. Murrell Officiates at Rites of Former St. Paul Woman Quincy, Ill., May 16.—The marriage of Mrs. Harriet (Hawkins) Williams of this city to Rev. H. H. DeWitt of Jacksonville was solmnized at noon today. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Sarah Hawkins, in this city, with Rev. B. N. Murrell, pastor of the Eighth and Elm Street Baptist church in Quincy, officiating. The wedding attendants were "Miss Ruth Smith of Griggsville and Dr. A. H. Kennibrew of Jacksonville. Among others from a distance who were present at the wedding were: Mrs. Alice English of South Bend, Milk; Mrs. Margaret DeWitt James, Sum of Isle Angelo Calif.; Mrs. H. Young of Jacksonville, John Dunn of Springfield, Mrs. Dezare Thomas and Mrs. Edward Washington of Barry, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Davis and Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis of Pittsfield. A reception followed the wedding ceremony and later in the day the bride and groom will go to Jacksonville and will make their home at 647 Koscusko street. Mrs. Williams, who is a native of Pike county, was educated in the schools here and after taking a business college training for a number of years held a position in a lawyer's office in St. Paul, Minn. She is very highly esteemed in the community and her many friends will wish her much happiness. Rev. DeWitt has for years served as the pastor of the Second Baptist church in Jacksonville and has the occasion of opening a large circle of friends. He is moderator of the Woodriver Baptist association.

Business Manager Advertising Peter on Application Entered at the Postoffice in St. Paul, Minnesota, as second-class mail matter, June 6, 1885, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. REV. HARRIS AGAIN According to a Daily News story an information bureau has been opened at 468 Rice street for the guidance of colored emigrants to the city, and according to Rev. J. W. Harris, colored persons are flocking to the city from the South where pastors there are urging them to come to St. Paul. All of which is very interesting, but it is about time that the Daily News and the public in general came to know that what Rev. J. W. Harris has to say about migration or anything else is not authoritative. Since he has been in St. Paul Rev. Harris has had more undesirable publicity than any pastor in recent years. He does not wish to co-operate with others in the community on various enterprises. Even now he holds a permit to solicit for funds to erect a community house in connection with his church. He knows that various clubs and organizations are co-operating, to meet the migration of colored folk, and he knows that money has been pledged to bring the Urban league to the city to care for welfare needs. In the face of this knowledge he must-needs establish his own information bureau, and by so doing stamp himself again as the disciple of dissension. If Rev. Harris is maintaining the bureau with his own funds, there is no more serious charge against him than that he refuses to work with the community at large, but if the bureau is being supported by solicitation from people who are led to believe that this man is representing the colored people of St. Paul and seeking aid in their behalf then he should be stopped and stopped at once, so that other enterprises representative of the whole community will not be endangered. LOOKS FUNNY Mr. Finberg who collects the rent from Chief Sommer said that he'd get Officer Goins' job for arresting him for passing open street car gates—a violation of a city ordinance. Next morning Officer Goins was suspended — for "insubordination," according to the chief. It may be so, but, well, we wish we owned a flat that the chief lived in. FUNERALS AND FLOWERS (The Monitor.) Flowers are emblems of the Resurrection and are therefore appropriate expressions of condolence when death visits the household. Their beauty and fragrance soothe sorrow. The gift of flowers in the hour of bereavement is a beautiful way of expressing sympathy and is always appreciated. The custom of doing so has become firmly fixed and could not be set aside were there the desire and disposition to do so. We have no desire to see this custom set aside, but we do believe that the tendency toward cavavage in the observance of this beautiful custom should be checked and that certain reforms, were it possible to bring them to pass, would be desirable. We believe that it would be much better, for example, to substitute simple bouquets of a few cut flowers for the costly, elaborate and, in many cases, meaningless designs which are much in favor. These elaborate designs, such as "Gates Ajar," "Broken Columns" "Pillows," and the like, are cumbersome and inartistic and are not so expressive as the simpler sprays and bouquets. The latter, in our opinion, commend themselves for another reason. It is this: They can be sent to carry cheer to some sick room in private home and hospital, thus doing a double duty. Instead of heaping flowers upon the new-made grave, where they wren within a few hours pile by the sexton, would it not be better to leave only a few, say one from each spray or bouquet, upon the new-made mound, and use the others to carry good cheer to the living shut-in in home or hospital? The extravagant expenditure of money for flowers for funerals and the wastefulness shown in heaping in huge piles upon graves to speedily fade, are abuses of a beautiful custom which should be corrected. Send flowers as expressions of sympathy and of faith in the life everlasting, but let it not be overdone as the custom of the day seems to be. A few simple fragrant blossoms given as genuine expression of heartfelt sympathy in be- reavement are more expressive than the massive special designs which many seem to think they are under obligation to send. And while speaking of flowers at funerals in which such 'lavishness is shown, it is not amiss to suggest that we see to it that we be a little more generous with our flowers to the living. What we would emphasize at this time particularly is less. xtravagance and ostentatious in the use of flowers for funerals. How many of our readers think we are right about this? Let us hear from you. ANGLO-SAXON HYPOCRISY (The Nation.) The Florida peonage revelations have been horrifying in the extreme and there are encouraging signs that the aroused Northern press, notably the yeoman service of the New York World, has begun to have its effect. It looks now as if the guilty sheriff and the judge and many of the others responsible will meet with their just deserts—of course if they had been colored men they would have been lynched long ago. There is evidence, too, that the Florida pocket-nerve is beginning to be touched; fear that the lucrative-Northern tourist trade may be affected is apparently becoming an incentive to virtue. But as we have pointed out before, this is not the first time by any means that the scandals of the Florida chain gang have been revealed. Revelations almost as sensational appeared in the New York press just twenty-five years ago. This flurry is similar to temporary value and will do nothing to remove a blot on the American good name or to prevent the most horrible human torture and suffering unless it results in the complete abolition of the monstrous and inhuman chain-gang system which can no more be reformed than can war. Both are utter anachronisms. The blindness of our countrymen! They are up in arms over the execution of a Russian priest, and yet they tolerate year in and year out the doing to death throughout the South of hundreds of innocent men sentenced to the chain gang on trumped-up excuses by crooked sheriffs and venal judges in order that contractors may make money. What pharisaism, what Anglo-Saxon hypocrisy! Tennis Talk (By Paul Crane) "Tennis is the true democrat among American sports. It's a poor city these days that can't offer public courts to its people. Dwight Davis, donor of the Davis Cup and active head of American tennis until his retirement at Capitol Weekly retiring of War, has long been working toward more and better municipal tennis courts. He recently made an interesting report on conditions in seventy-five large cities in which there are 2,000 courts."—Collier's Weekly contained a list of sixteen cities with the number of their public courts and on that list St. Paul ranked fourth: Newark, 120 Kansas City, 92 Seattle 78 St. Paul 69 Washington 68 Detroit, 53 There was talk abroad last Sunday morning, among the tennis enthusiasts at Dunning field, about the organization of a tennis club. The team, which was 20 years ago St. Paul had the right to be represented in the tennis tournament at Washington when Dr. Nelson of Minneapolis, Dr. Cheeks, the Tucker brothers, Herbert Smith, Ted Crosthwaite, Peavey Johnson, George George Cornelius Johnson, Earl Kyle, Donald Brown and several others formed the Twin City Tennis Club and paid the necessary dues to the national body. There were two most competent racketswimmers among the girls of the Twinities are Francis Smith of Minneapolis and Gladys Gardner of St. Paul. SOUTHERN YOUTHS WIN HONORS IN NORTH Joseph J. Rhoads of Texas, one of the fourteen colored students at Yale university, won second place in the first term examinations this spring. Omar carries an enrollment at "Amos School" and a cash award of $150. Young Rhoads went to Yale from Tuskegee institute, where he had been secretary of the Student Christian association. He is a graduate of Bishop college, at Marshall, Tenn. Frank S. Rankin, a Savannah colored youth studying medicine in the University of Illinois, recently took the examination for the position of medical student in the health department. Out of 52 competitors, only six passed the examinations and Rankin came second among the six. By E. S. WEBER, D. D. S. Any questions regarding subjects in these articles or other dental work should be addressed to the Health Editor of the Appeal. Dr. Weber will publish the answers each week in this column. ABSCESSES I think that this is another important subject that my readers should know something about, especially when I think of the many patients who suffer from abscesses. What is an abscess? To put it in simple terms let us say that it is a circumscribed collection of pus surrounded by a wall of lymph. Maybe your doctor told you that you had Septicaptia or Pericentitis; Acute Alveolar Abscess or Dyneuronal Alveolar Abscess or Granuloma. Of course I know that you took his word for it (nothing else), at all events he meant just what I said in the above sentence, except that he pointed out the location when he said Apical which means at the apex; at the end of the root, and Pericentitis, the constitution of the Pericentum (the tissue that surrounds the root of a tooth). There are two kinds of abscesses namely, acute and chronic. An acute abscess is the one that most of you know something about. It is the one that develops with all the signs and symptoms of inflammation such as swelling (sometimes considerable), swelling (sometimes considerable), pain is present, at times intense, depending upon the character of the tissues involved, the severity of the injury, and the reaction of the tissues. The function of the part is important, and usually present. A chronic abscess forms without the signs and symptoms of inflammation, but its activity and dangerous tendencies are the same as the acute abscess. It is too bad that all abscesses can't be acute because when they develop we are in a situation of relief and relief is sought in ample time. Chronic abscesses may continue for years without the slightest discomfort on the part of the patient, but the toxic products of the bacteria that cause the abscesses are con- taining the system through the channels of the lymphatics. This is detrimental to the physical organization of man in ways that I pointed out to you in my previous articles. Deep seated infection due to bacterial invasion in fungal standing cavities, pulpless teeth (teeth where the nerve has been removed) that have improper root canal fillings, trauma (injury) by means of a fall or a fracture, or irrigation into the pulp (nerve) by means of desecured fillings, fillings that run too close to the nerve), this has a tendency to kill the nerve in tact. And like anything that dies inclosed in a chamber (as the nerve of a tooth is) the nerve is often sometimes gangrenous. These conditions favor the growth of the abscess also.

The Light of Western Stars A Romance By Zane Grey Illustrations by Irwin Myers CHAPTER I — Arriving at the lonely little railroad station of El Cajon, New Mexico, where she finds a girl, finds no one to meet her. While in the waiting room a drunken cowboy encounters her, and he leaves her terrified. He returns with a priest, who goes through some sort of ceremony, and the cowboy forces her to leave the room. She then identifies her identity the cowboy seems dased. In a shooting scrape outside the room a girl, Bonita "take his horse and escape," then conducts Madeline to Florence Kingley, friend of her brother. CHAPTER II — Florence welcomes her, and she takes her horse to the boy, Gene Stewart. Next day Alfred Hammond, Madeline's brother, takes Gene Stewart, the exonerates of any wrong intent. CHAPTER III — Alfred, son of a wealthy family, had been dismissed from his home because of his disapointment. He is deemed him. She meets Stillwalt, Al's employer, typical western ranchman. He learns Stillwalt has gone over the border. CHAPTER IV — Danny Mahn, one of Stillwalt's cowboys, has disappeared, with some of Stillwalt's money. His friends link his name with the girl Bob. CHAPTER V — Madeline gets a gimpse of life on a western ranch. "What am I to such a woman as you?" "A man in trouble, Stewart. But I have come to help you, to show my faith in you." "I if I believed that, I might try," he said. "Listen," she began, softly, hurriedly. "My word is not lightly given. Let it prove my faith in you. Look at me now and say you will come." He heaved up his big frame as if trying to cast off a giant's burden, and then slowly he turned toward her. face was a blotched and terrible physical-brutalizing marks were there in his face at that instant all that appeared human to Madelina was the dawning in dead, furnace-like eyes of a beautiful light. "I'll come," he whispered, hunkily. "Give me a few days to straighten up, then I'll come." CHAPTER IX The New Foreman Toward the end of the week Stillwell informed Madeline that Stewart had arrived at the ranch and had taken up quarers with Nels. "Gene's sick. He looks bad," said the old cattleman. "He's so weak an shaky he can't lift a cup. Nels says that Gene has had some bad spells. A little liquor would straighten him up now. But Nels can't force him to drink a drop, an' has had to sneak some liquor in his coffee. Gene's losin' his mind, or he's got somethin' powerful strange on it." Stewart was really ill. It became necessary to send for a physician. Then Stewart began slowly to mend and presently was able to get up and about. Stillwell said the cowboy lacked interest and seemed to be a broken man. This statement, however, the old cattleman modified as Stewart continued to improve. Then presently it was a good augury of Stewart's progress that the cowboys once more took up the tearing relation which had been characteristic of them before his illness. A cowboy was indeed out of sorts when he could not vent his peculiar humor on somebody or something. Stewart had evidently become a broad target for their badness. "Wal, the boys are sure after Gene" said Stillwell, with his huge smile. "Joshin' him all the time about how he sits around an' hangs around an' loafs around jest to get a glimpse of you, Miss Majesty. Sure all the boys he avery bad case over their pretty boss, but none of them is a marker to Gene. He's got it so bad, Miss Majesty, that he actully don't know they are joshin' him. It's the amazin'est strange thing I ever seen." Madeline smiled her amusement. It had been impossible for her to fall to observe Stewart's singular behavior. She never went out to take her customary walks and rides without seeing him somewhere in the distance. She was aware that he watched for her and avoided meeting her. When she sat on the porch during the afternoon or at sunset Stewart could always be described at some point near. He idled listlessly in the 'sun, lounged on the porch of his bunkhouse, sat whitening the top bar of the corral fence, and always it seemed to Madeline he was watching her. He was pale, haggard, drawn. His eyes held a shadow with which he seemed obscured light; and once having observed Madeline fancied it was like the light in Majesty's eyes, in the dumb, worshiping eyes of her favorite stag-hound. She told Stewart that she hoped he would soon be in the saddle again, and passed on her way. That Stewart loved her Madeline could not help but see. When she discovered this she felt a little surprise and annoyance. Then she interrogated herself, and concluded that it was not that Stewart was so different from his comrades, but that circumstances made him stand out from them. She recalled her meeting with him that night when he had tried to force her to marry him. This was unforgettable in itself. She recalled subsequent mention of her being a brilliantly memorable. The man and his actions seemed to hinge on events. Lastly, the fact standing clear of all others in its relation to her interest was that he had almost been ruined, almost lost, and she had saved him. That alone was sufficient to explain why she thought of him differently. She had befriended, uplifted the other cowboys she had saved Stewart's life. To be sure, he had been a ruffian, but a woman could not save the life of even a ruffian without remembering it with gladness. Madeline length decided that she had been and that her deeper feeling was pity. Perhaps the interest had been forced from her; however, she gave the pity as she gave everything. Stewart had taken up his duties as foreman, and his activities were ceaseless. He was absent most of the time, ranging down toward the Mexican line. When he returned Stillwell sent for him. This was late in the afternoon of a day in the middle of April. Alfred and Florence were with Madeline on the porch. Madeline saw the man she remembered, but with a singularly different aspect. His skin was brown; his eyes were pleasing and dark and steady; he carried himself erect; he seemed preoccupied, and there was not a trace of embarrassment in his manner. "Wal, Gene, I'm sure glad to see you," Stillwell was saying. "Where do you hall from?" "Gudalupe canyon," replied the cowboy. Stillwell whistled. "Way down there! You don't mean you follored them hoss tracks that far" "All the way from Don Carlos' ranch across the Mexican line. I took CURE FOR PREJUDICE At the Southern Conference on illiteracy recently held in Hosanna, we brought to attention that colored people are more eager for education than are certain classes of whites, and that race troubles come largely from the illiterates among the latter "written in our civilization," said one of the speakers, "our emancipation from race hatreds will begin." Nick Steele with me. Nick is the best tracker in the outfit. This trail we were on led along the foothill valleys. First we thought whover made it was hunting for water. But they passed two, ranches without watering. At Seaton's wash they dug for water. Here they met a pack-train of burros that came down the mountain trail. The burros were heavily loaded. Horse and burro struck stuck south from Seaton's to the old California emigrant road. We followed the trail through Gudalupe canyon and across the border. On the way back we stopped at Slaughter's ranch, where the United States Army was stationed. We met foresters from the Peloncillo forest reserve. If these fellows knew anything they kept it to themselves. So we hit the trail home." "Wal, I reckon you know enough!" Inquired Stillwell, slowly. "Miss Ham- # "You Don't Mean You Follered Them Hose Tracks The Far? mond can't be kept in the dark much longer. Make your report to her." The cowboy shifted his dark gaze to Madeline. "We're losing a few cattle on the open range. Night-drives by vaqueros. Some of these cattle are driven across the valley, others up in the foothills. So far as I can find out no cattle are being driven south. So this raiding is a blind to foot the cowboys. Don Carlos is a Mexican rebel. He located his ranch here a few years ago and pretended to raise cattle. All that time he has been smuggling arms and ammunition across the border. He was for Madero against Diaz. Now he is against Madero because he and all the rebels think Madero failed to keep his promises. There will be another revolution. And all the arms go from the States across the border. Those burros I told about were packed with contraband goods." "What is my—my duty? What has it to do with me?" inquired Madeline, somewhat perturbed. "Wal, Miss Majesty, I reckon it hasn't nothing to do with you," put in Stillwell. "The's my bizness an' Stewart's. But I just wanted you to know. There might be some trouble follin' my orders." "Your orders?" "I want to send Stewart over to fire Don Carlos an' his vaqueros off the range. They've got to go. Don Carlos is breakin' the law of the United States, an' don' it on our property an' with our hoses. Hew I your permission, Miss Hammond?" "Why, assuredly you have! Still well, you know what to do. Alfred, what you think best?" "I'll make trouble, Majesty, but it's to be done," repiled Alfred. "Here you have a crowd of eastern friends due next month. We want the range to be covered. But. If you drive those vaqueros off, won't they hang around in the foothills? I declare they are a bad lot." "He'll have to be forced out," replied Stewart, quietly. "The Don's pretty slick, but his vaqueros are bad actors. It's just this way: Don Carlos has vaqueros coming and going all the time. They're guerrilla bands, that's all. And they're getting uglier. There have been several shoots-scrapes lately. It's only a matter of time till something stirs up the boys here. Stillwell, you know Nels and Monty and Nyke. "Sure I know 'em, an' you're not mentionl' one more particular cowboy in my outfit," said Stillwell, with a dry chuckle and a glance at Stewart. Madeline divined the covert meaning. "Stewart, I see you carry a gun," she said, pointing to a black handle protruding from a sheath swinging low along his leather chaps. "Yes, ma'am." "why do you carry it?" she asked. "Why not?" she said, "it's not a pretty thing—and it's hassy." She caught the inference. The gun was not an ornament. His keen, steady, dark gaze caused her vague alarm. What had once seemed cool and audacious about this cowboy was now cold and powerful and mystical. Both her instinct and her intelligence realized the steel fiber of the man's nature. As she was his employer, she had the right to demand that he should not do what was so chillingly manifest that he might do. But Madeline could not demand. She felt curiously young and weary, two months of life, were as if they had been. She now had to do with a question involving human life. And the value she placed upon human life and its spiritual significance was a matter far from her cowboy's thoughts. A strange idea faded up. Did she place too much value upon all human life? She checked that, wondering, almost "The colored workman can be kept on the cotton plantation by kindness and personal attention," is the reported statement of President Kaminer of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' association, in an address delivered at Charleston. On the job, he did, get on the job himself, establish personal, friendly relations with his tenants, and improve their conditions of life. horrified at herself. And then her intuition told her that she possessed a far stronger power, to move these primitive men than any woman's stern rule or order. "Stewart, I do not fully understand what you hint that Nels and his comrades might do. Please be frank with me. You mean Nels would shoot his little provocation." "Miss Hammond, as far as Nels is concerned, shooting is now just a matter of his meeting Don Carlocq vaqerosen. As for Nick Steele and Monty, they're just bad men, and looking for trouble." "How about yourself, Stewart? Stillwell's remark was not lost upon me," said Madeline, prompted by curiosity. "I have come to love my ranch, and I care a great deal for my, my cowboys. It would be dreadful if they were to kill anybody, or especially if one of them should be killed." "Miss Hammond, you changed things considerable out here, but you can't change these men. All that needs to start them is a little trouble. And this Mexican revolution is bound to make rough times along some of the wilder passes across the border. We're in line, that's all. And the boys are in line. Very well, then, must accept the inevitable. I am facing a rough time. And some of my cowboys cannot be checked much longer. But human life is not for any man to sacrifice unless in self-defense or in protecting those dependent upon him. What Stillwell and you hinted makes me afraid of Nels and Nick Steele and Monty. Cannot they be controlled? I want to feel that they will not go gunning for Don Carlos' men. I want to avoid all violence. And yet when my guests come from danger or fright or even annoyance. May I not rely wholly upon you, Stewart?" "I hope so, Miss Hammond," replied Stewart. It was an instant response, but none the less fraught with consciousness of responsibility. He waited a moment, and then, as neither Stillwell nor Madeline offered further speech, he bowed and turned down the path, his long spins clinking in the grape. "Wal, wal," exclaimed Stillwell, "that's no little job you give him, Miss Majesty." "It was a woman's cunning, Stillwell," said Alfred. "Majesty, whatever actuated you, it was a stroke of diplomacy. Stewart has got good stuff in him. He was down and out. Well, he's made a game fight, and it looks as if he'd win. Trusting him, giving him responsibility, relying upon him, was the surest way to strengthen his hold over the other man. He's a composite of tiger breed and forked lightning, and don't imagine he has failed you if he gets into a fight." CHAPTER X Don Carlos' Vagueros Early the following morning Stewart, with a company of cowboys, departed for Don Carlos' rancho. As the day wore on without any report from him, Stillwell appeared to grow more at ease; and at nightfall he told Matelline that he guessed there was now no reason for concern. "Wal, though it's sure amazin' strange," he continued, "I've been worryin' some about how we was gain' to fire Don Carlos. But Gene has a way of doin' things." Next day Stillwell and Alfred decided to ride over to Don Carlos' place, taking Matelline and Florence with them, and upon the return to stop at Alfred's ranch. They started in the cool, gray dawn, and after three hours' riding, as the sun began to get bright, they entered a mesquite grove, surrounding corrals and barns, and a number of low, squat buildings and a huge, gambling structure all built of MEXICO Then a Crowd of Men Tramped Pell-Mell Out Upon the Porch. adobe and mostly crumbling to ruin. Only one green spot relieved the bald red of grounds and walls; and this evidently was made by the spring which had given both value and fame to Don Carlos' range. The approach to the house was through a courtyard, bore, stony, hardacked with hitching-rails and watering-troughs in front of a long porch. Several dusty, tired horses stood with drooping heads and bridles down, their wet wanks attesting to travel just ended. "Wal, dog-done it. Al, if there sin't Pat Harew's hoss I'll eat it," exclaimed Stillwell. "What's Pat want here, anyhow?" growled Alfred. Phone Dale 9652 P. H. ENMARK Bicycles, Supplies and Repairs GO-CARTS RE-TIRED 608 University St. Paul No one was in sight; but Madeline heard loud voices coming from the house. Stillwell dismounted at the porch and stalked in at the door. Alfred leaped on his horse, helped Florence and Madeline down, end, bidding them rest and wait on the porch, he followed Stillwell. From the corridor came the rattling of spurs, tramping of boots, and loud voices. Madeline detected Alfred's quick notes when he was annoyed: "Were rustle back home, then," he said. The answer came, "No!" Madeline recognized Stewart's voice, and she quickly straightened up. "I won't have them in here," went on Alfred. Outside the house, "I" replied Stewart, sharply. "Listen, Al." came the boom of Stillwell's big voice, "now that we've butted in over byear with the girls, you let Stewart run things." Then a crowd of men trumped pell-mell out upon the porch. Stewart, dark-brown and somber, was in the lead. Nels hung close to him, and Madeline's quick glance saw that Nels had undergone indescribable change. The grinning, brilliant-eyed Don Caro came jostling out beside a giant, sharp-featured man wearing a silver shield. This, no doubt, was Pat Hare. In the background behind Stillwell and Alfred stood Nick Steele, head and shoulders over a number of vauques and cowboys. "Miss Hammond, I'm sorry you came," said Stewart, "Were in a muddle here. I've insisted that you and Flo be kept close to us. I'll explain later. If you can't stop your ears I beg to you overlook rough talk." With that he turned to the men behind him: "Nick, take Boly, go back to Monty and the boys. Fetch out that stuff. All of it. Rustle, now!" Stillwell and Alfred disengaged themselves from the crowd to take up positions in front of Madeline and Florence. Pat Hawe leaned against a post and insolently ogled Madeline and then Florence. Don Carlos pressed forward. His swarthy face showed dark lines, like cords, under the surface. His little eyes were exceedingly prominent and glittering. To Madeline his face seemed to be a bold, hard-some mask through which his eyes plerciingly betrayed the evil nature of the man. He bowed low with elaborate and sinuous grace. His smile revealed brilliant teeth, enhanced the brilliance of his eyes. He slowly spread deprecatory hands. "Senoritas, I beg a thousand pardons," he said. How strange it was for Madeline to hear English spoken in a soft, whimily sweet accent "The gracious hospitality of Don Carlos has passed with his house." Stewart stepped forward and, thrusting Don Carlos aside, he called, "Make way, there!" The crowd fell back to the trump of heavy boots. Cowboys appeared staggering out of the corridor with long boxes. These they placed side by side upon the floor of the porch. "Now, Hawe, we'll proceed with our business," said Stewart. "You see these boxes, don't you?" "I reckon I see a good many things round hyar," replied Hawe, meaningly. "Well, do you intend to open these boxes upon my so-you?" "No!" retorted Hawe. "It's not my place to meddle with property as come by express an' all accounted for regular." "I'll open them. Here, one of you boys, knock the tops off these boxes," ordered Stewart. "No, not you, Monty. You use your eyes. Let Booly handle the ax. Rustle, now!" Monty Price had jumped out of the crowd into the middle of the porch. The manner in which he gave way to Booly and faced the vaugers was not significant of friendliness or trust. "Stewart, you're dead wrong to bust open them boxes. That's agin' the law," protested Hawe, trying to interfere. Stewart pushed him back. Then Don Carlos, who had been stunned by the appearance of the boxes, suddenly became active in speech and person. Stewart thrust him back also. The Mexican's excitement increased. He wildly gesticulated; he exclaimed shrilly in Spanish. When, however, the lids were wrenched open and an inside packing torn away he grew ridg and silent. Madeline raised herself behind Stillwell to see that the boxes were full of rifles and ammunition. "There, Hawhe! What did I tell you?" demanded Stewart. "I came over here to take charge of this ranch. I found these boxes hidden in an unused room. I suspected what they were. Contraband goods!" "Wal, supposin' they are? I don't see any call for fer such all-fired fuss as you are'makin'. Stewart, I calliate you're some stuck on your new job an' want to make a big show before-" "Hawe, stop slinging that kind of talk," interrupted Stewart. "You got too free with your mouth once before! Now here, I'm supposed to be consulting an officer of the law. Will you take an charge of these contraband goods?" "Say, you're holdin' on high an mighty," replied Hawe, in astonishment that was plainly pretended. "What're you drivin' at?" Stewart muttered an imprecation. He took several swift strides across the porch; he held out his hands to Stillwell as if to indicate the hopelessness of intelligent and reasonable arbitration; he looked at Madeline with a glance eloquent of his regret that he could not handle the situation to please her. Then as he wheeled he came face to face with Nela, who had slipped forward out of the crowd. Madeline gathered serious import from the steel-blue meaning flash of eyes whereby Nels communicated something to Stewart.

DISPLAY OF BABIES SHOWS FRANCE'S BIRTH SHORTAGE Window Exhibit in Paris Tells Story of Decreasing Raoe. Paris.—A row of three babies, of diminishing sizes, clothed in white and resting on a black background, has been attracting attention in the windows of the National Alliance for the Increase of French Population. It is a show window way of telling the story of a decreasing race. The largest baby has written underneath, "Year 1868—1,034,000"; the second baby, "Year 1913—746,000"; and the last baby, "Year 1927—500,000." The trouble between France and Germany is one of babies, according to the spokesman of this organization, and Germany is bound to win the next war because of more babies. According to the latest figures, Germany now has 500,000 extra new babies, and France but 35,000 above her death rate. France's present population is placed at 39,200,000, whereof 1,500,000 are for eligners. Her native population for the first six months of 1922 increased by 9,045, compared to 15,849 in 1913, a normal prewar year. With the number of marriages increasing (103,462 for the first six months of 1922, as compared to 163,722 in the corresponding period of 1913), the birth rate is slightly lower, as is the death rate. The national alliance, however, points out that there is a 3 per cent decrease in the German birth rate due to postwar poverty and other causes. France is endowing by legislation to increase the birth rate. Fathers of four or more children are given higher salaries, and other measures are being adopted, one of which is to give a father an extra vote for every child.

London—An improvement, of at least 10 per cent in the lifting efficiency of airplane wings is expected to be made by an invention which has been patented by a young ex-officer of the flying corpse.

WANT AMERICAN MUSEUM SYSTEM Scientists Ask Canada and United States to Combine in String of National Parks. Washington...To benefit science, and popular education during future generations, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the largest scientific body in the world, has proposed establishing an international system of museums of the original American wilderness. Its object is to preserve examples of the primitive in nature from the Arctic ocean to the Gulf of Mexico making a continental scientific laboratory and popular educational exhibit covering both Canada and the United States. International System Exists. The basis for this international system already exists, the scientists believe, in the national parks systems of the two nations. No political or administrative union of these is advocated, but an international policy of complete conservation from industrial uses, backed by perfected laws in both countries. The association issued the following from its headquarters in the Smithsonian institution here: "Whereas, By repeated action of congress for more than half a century, widely approved by scientific and other societies and by the public generally, the national parks of the United States have been completely conserved from industrial uses so as to constitute a system of national museums of native America; and "Whereas, One of the national parks of Canada is similarly completely conserved; and "Whereas, The combined national parks systems of both countries, covering geological, biological and geographical examples from the Alaskan range, through the Canadian Rockies, to the Grand canyon of Arisona, if preserved untouched, will constitute a unique continental exposition of inestimable value to science and to the popular education of future generations; therefore "Be it resolved, That the American Association for the Advancement of Science earnestly requests the people and the congress of the United States and the people and the parliament of the Dominion of Canada to secure such amendments of existing law and the enactment of such new laws as will give to all units in the international parks system complete conservation alike, and will safeguard them against every industrial use either under private or public control at least until careful study shall justify the elimination of any part from park classification." The American Association for the Advancement of Science is international, its nearly 1,000 members representing both Canada and the United States. New York.—"Screeching" of the boy choir of the exclusive Fifth Avenue Episcopal church of St. Thomas, whose stately home at Fifth-third street is considered one of the best Gothic examples in the country, caused the transfer of a society woman's bequest from a home for incurable children to a memorial hospital for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This became known recently when it was learned that Mrs. Sidmon McHile, wealthy broker's wife, had visited the police and complained of the choir's "screeching." An investigation was promised. Mrs. McHile's home faces St. Thomas' across the street. She recently surprised society with the announcement that her entire fortune was to be left for an animal memorial hospital, with the inscription over the door: "The more I saw of humana, the more I thought of dogs." She had previously announced that her will bequested her estate to a hospital for incurable children. She did not then explain her reasons for changing her mind and her will. She later admitted after her complaint to the police that the "screeching" of the choir boys, followed by a feud which she carried on with the church authorities because of the Sunday noises that came from the edifice caused her to change her will. She admitted having futilely combated the choir's Sunday efforts by playing records on her phonograph, sending the swelling voices into the church by means of a powerful amplifying device. 28.800 in England Get Over $2,000,000 a Year London.—In a statement in the house of commons Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the exchequer, said the total number of persons in Great Britain liable to a supertax in the last financial year was about 80,000, with a total income of $470,000,000 (about $2,180,800,000).

Approximately 28,500 of the visitors were foreigners. The Official Call for the National ALL-RACE CONFERENCE will soon be sent out by the Committee of Arrangements, appointed by the Conference of the Civil Rights Organizations, and headed by Prof. Kelly Miller. In the meantime: all secretaries of organizations, lodges, labor unions, women's clubs, churches, etc., and other interested persons, are requested to communicate their names and addresses, together with name of ANIMALS CANNOT TALK, IS THEORY OF SCIENTISTS Understand Some Words But Do Not Try to Imitate. This very interesting question is discussed by Dr. A. L. Benedict of Buffalo, N. X., in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "Dogs to a high degree and, to a less degree, cata, horses, cattle, sheep, elephants and probably other animals associated with man understand a good many words," writes Doctor Benedict. "One of the best evidences of understanding on the part of animals is the failure to understand under different circumstances. For instance, sheep habituated to the call 'Onan' do not respond to 'Oo-day' and vice versa." "In Strasburg my wife called a dog 'chien' without getting a response, but he responded immediately to 'hund.' "Recently a good many items have appeared with reference to imitation of human speech by dogs. While my own dog says 'out' fairly distinctly when he wants to get out, it seems to me that all these reports are fallacious. Certain sounds emitted by dogs resemble words in one language or another, but it is improbable that they are really trying to pronounce words, even after learning that a certain sound gets them something. "Another example was the monkey that Professor Garner tried to teach to speak. He got it to say 'feu' (French for fire) quite intelligently when a match was lighted. On being asked why he did not teach it the English word he merely smiled. "It is a curious fact that tite only 'animals' that have been taught to speak at all fluently have been parrots. "Professor Garner's study of the speech of animals really deserves more consideration than it has received. He was quite conservative, estimating the maximum vocabulary of monkeys at about thirty 'words', a word in this sense being a definite cry, usually common to all members of a species, wherever found, and indicating some emotion, not a concept, as in the case of human language." Gives Fund to Educate British Soldiers in U. S. BARBARA SANDMAN & SCHULZ It has just been announced that six students, selected from England's great sister universities—Oxford and Cambridge—will be brought to America for a year of study in one of the Eastern "Big Three" colleges—Harvard, Princeton and Yale—under a trust fund established by Mrs. Henry P. Davison in memory of her husband. The fund will be known as "The Henry P. Davison Scholarship Fund." Attribute Longevity to Deep Breathing System Chicago.—A system of breathing, to which persons one hundred and three years old attribute their longevity, was an important addition to impressions of France, Italy, England and Switzerland which Henry C. Lytton, prominent merchant, brought back on his return from a five months' trip to Europe. Proud of the vigor which made him boast of a forty-seven-year-old son, Mr. Lytton attributed his recovery from an attack of bronchitis which sent him on his trip to an article he had read in a magazine while abroad. "It told about an island where the inhabitants use this breathing system and as a result often live to be one hundred and three years old and more," he said. "Count ten as you inhale; count ten as you hold your breath; and count ten while you exhale. Do this a dozen times as regularly as you go to bed and get up, and you will increase your chest expansion and lengthen your years." Pottsville, Pa.—Harry Cotler, hunted for a "needle" in a haystack and found it. The "needle" was worth $1,500, however. Cotler dropped a diamond ring into a sewer drain. With the city's consent, he dug into the drain and found the ring. their organization, to the secretary of the conference in order that a formal invitation may be forthcoming. Wherever possible to dispense with red tape, organizations should do so and not wait for a formal invitation but the moment the call is published in the press should take petitioning the basis of a representation which will be laid down in the call.

In 1788, a person in New Orleans could not even commit suicide and go unpuntehed. Someone having asserted that the Sixty-seventh congresn recently ad- Journed, enacted 981 new laws, and with many state legislative bodies clearing thelr decks for action in order to add a few broadsides to the list of statutes, inquiring persons here have been examining musty old Span- 4sh and French offielal records in New ‘Orleans to ascertain how the people of other days fared. Sentence Dead Man, A man committed suicide here in 1788 and the records show that the courts tried him for takings life. He ‘was found gullty, and it le set forth that “the inanimate body that held Uife too great a burden” was sen- ‘tenced to abandonment without burial. Petty theft involved a penalty of flogging, three years’ imprisonment, ‘confiscation and a fine of 50 francs. Persons convicted of having shot or wounded an animal owned by another were sentenced to capital punishment. As in these days and times, a mur erer was executed by hanging, but execution for wife murder was by strangalation. There was no Volstead law, but for permitting his slaves to become in- itoxteated one man was forced to mount a wooden horse and was drawn ‘through the streets, while his neigh- {bors laughed at him. ‘The wooden horse seems to have played a prominent part in the punish- ment of petty ertminals. Patidats at ithe city hospital learned that meat \they bad been consuming with a rel- \lah was dog and cat flesh. One Robert Villeneuve, a butcher who supplied ithe institution, was haled before the ‘eourt on a complaint filed by the pe- tients, who charged that they had ‘been served “roasted dogs” Tle Cat Around Neck. ‘The records show that Villeneuve ‘was mounted upon the wooden horse ‘and given the same treatment received \by the man who had permitted his ialaves to become drunk. In the case ‘of Villeneuve, however, his chest and {back bore placards inscribed: “Master ‘Water of Dogs and Cats.” After this punishment had been ‘meted out the tecord further states that “an olé gtay eat was bung around 'the neck” of the culprit. And finery for the women played its ‘part, then as now, for one document ‘refers to the purchase by a father of '“peomly clothes” for his elghteen-year- old daughter. ‘The parallel of the ‘q@lothing problem then with that of the | present day eontinues in this ease, for ‘Mt meets the purchase consisted of “feathers and thread stockings.” ‘The finery got into the records be jeause the father went Into debt for them, and debt then was a crime if ‘one could not pay. So reduced in ef cumstances was the parent that he ‘reported to his creditor: “I am on ‘broth. Ihave but one chicken to kill.” ‘The outcome of the aifatr could not be eacertained from the documents. ‘Vast Iron Ore Field Is Found in Russia | Moscow—A sclentifie expedition, ‘financed by the government, has solved a mystery of fifty years’ standing by ite dtecovery in Kursk of a magnetic fron ore field. The ore was found at a depth of 600 feet and in such quantity ‘as to arouse the hope that ft may de- ‘velop into one of the world’s largest fields. ‘About fifty years ago it was: noted that compasses used in Kursk, instead of pointing directly at the north mag- netic pole, swerved as much as 15 de- ‘grees toward an indefinite stretch of territory. The presence of magnetic ‘ore was agreed to be the cause, but hundreds of borings falled to locate it The soviet expedition was sent at the instance of Premier Lenin and was headed by Professors Lazarov, Gubkin ‘and Archangelsky. ‘They found the ore ‘after six months’ work, in the vicinity of the provinelal town of Tehigri. The ‘ore gent here assays from 50 to 70 per cent pure magnetic iron. ‘The re searches of the sclentists indicate that the ore field 1s 250. kilometers long and from one to two kilometers wide, varying in depth trom 600 to 800 feet. Buddha Statue Made of Bonés of 2,600 Dead Tokio—An image of Budda made ‘entirely from human bones, will short- ly be dedicated at Jogwanji temple, Fukagawa. According to the head priest of the temple, more than 2,600 ead persons’ bones had been stored during the past ten years within the temple's tharnel honse, at the request of those poor people who were unablé to bury the dead after cremating them. ieee ’s Cash 6 Sommler’s racer FULL LINE OF FRESH VEGE- TABLES AND “FANCY .
