St. Paul Echo

The St. Paul Echo WE WIN IN Detroit; we lose in Washington. Indianapolis and certain other cities want to know where we go from here? A COLD DAY in June is no longer a myth. Better dig the fur coat from out of the mothballs and dust off the galoshes. VOL.1, NO.31 WHITE CONFESSES SHOOTING NEGRO; LIQUOR INVOLVED Charge of First Degree Murder Lodged Against Confessor; Brother Held. Boy,17, Also Confined Fearing Arrest in Connection With Operating Still, Men Do Killing. (Preston News Service) Newport, Ark., June 4.—Frank Tucker, 52, Tuesday confessed that he fired the shot that killed John Holloway, aged Negro, Friday night, officers reported. The confession was made to Prosecuting Attorney Williamson and Sheriff Hays in the city jail. Details of the confession are being withheld by the officers as a safeguard to developments expected to follow. First Degree Murder. A charge of first degree murder has been lodged against Tucker. His brother, Henry Tucker, 48, is charged with being an accessory and is held in the county jail. Frank Brannam, aged 17, is also in the county jail charged with first degree murder. Liquor Activity. Officers conducted a search for a still on the farm of Henry Tucker last Friday afternoon. Holloway lived near the place, and it is said the Tuckers suspected Holloway of giving information concerning their alleged liquor activities. Holloway was found shot to death on his porch early Saturday morning. He had been struck with one charge of No. 8 buckshot in the face. A coroner's verdict was that Holloway came to his death by the hands of unknown persons. The arrests of the Tuckers and Brannam were made by Sheriff Hays and his deputies, who went to the scene of the killing soon after it occurred and conducted the investigation. POLICEMAN HOLDS MOB FROM NEGRO Man With Police Record, Accused of Attack, Defended by Officer With Gun. (Preston News Service) New York, June 4.—Traffic Patrolman James Nesson, on duty at Tenth avenue and Thirty-fourth street, caught Kelly Hill, who was pursued by nearly 100 men Thursday, and with his pistol held off the crowd from which came shouts of "Lynch him!" The policeman threatened to "shoot to kill" if the crowd advanced, and in a moment was joined Patrolman Henry Baker, who telephoned for reserves from the West Thirtieth street station. The reserves dispersed the crowd, and Hill was taken to the station for questioning. Later Margaret O'Brien, 26 years old, identified him as a man who attempted to attack her in the hallway of her home and was frightened away by her screams, which drew a crowd of men who pursued him. Hill, who, the police said, was sentenced to six months in the workhouse last October for an attack on a woman, was held without bail in Jefferson Market Court for a hearing on Thursday on suspicion of felonious assault.

Wheeling Fussed As Pastors Of All Negro Churches Leave Old Charges For New Fields Wheeling Fussed As Pastors Of All Negro Churches Leave Old Charges For New Fields American Legion Local Post Holds Memorial Day Services American Legion Local Post Holds Memorial Day Services (Preston News Service) Wheeling, W. Va., June 4.—Negro churchmen in this city are perturbed over the unenviable notoriety caused by the resignation of the pastors of all the Negro churches here within a few months. The first change was at the Simpson M. E. Church, from which Rev. C. E. Hodges was transferred, at his own request. He is now pastor of a very prominent church in Washington, D. C. Next came the ultimatum and then the resignation of Rev. S. A. Davenport, after friction and disagreements with officers of Macedonia Baptist Church, the largest religious organization among Negroes in Wheeling. In reference to these two changes public opinion was divided; some people charge officers of these churches with denouncing and persecuting the ministers while others denied the charged and defended the churches. But the consensus of opinion was that both ministers were justified in seeking new fields. The last and possibly the most sensational change came when Rev. R. A. Adams, one of the most experienced and best qualified ministers the A. M. E. Church in Wheeling TEXAN CONTESTS VOTING MEASURE TEXAN CONTESTS VOTING MEASURE Law Declaring Negroes Ineligible to Vote in Primaries to Be Fought. (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., June 4.—L. A. Nixon of El Paso, Texas, filed in the Supreme Court Wednesday a brief in his appeal contesting validity of the Texas law under which he was prohibited from voting in the general Democratic primaries in July, 1924. He contended that the statute which renders a Negro ineligible to participate in Democratic primaries in the state is unconstitutional. In the Federal District Court for Western Texas, the suit, which sought to recover $5,000 damages against precinct judges, was dismissed on the grounds that the Federal Constitution and laws relating to suffrage do not apply to primaries. The case will be reached for oral argument early in the next term of the court, beginning in October. SAMEC FOR RE-ELECTION Albert J. Samee, Jr., is a candidate for re-election to the State Legislature. Mr. Samee has served on the following committees in 1925: Railroads, Civil Administration, Commerce Manufacturer and Retail Trade, Cities of the First Class, Public Welfare and Social Legislation. He voted for the Lynching Bill and is a staunch believer of permitting the laws to take their own course. Members of Leslie Lawrence Post Share Services With St. James A. M. E. Church on Memorial Day. The members of the Leslie Lawrence Post of the American Legion were guests of St. James A. M. E. church at the eleven o'clock services on Sunday, May 30, 1926. The legion post furnished the congregation with programs of the Memorial Day Services. Mrs. Gladys Harris, a Legion Auxiliary member, rendered a pleasing solo. Services Held. The Legion Services were brief but solemnly honored the dead service men. Led by Commander Manning and Chaplain Lloyd Davis, the post and congregation stood facing west in absolute silence for thirty seconds of silent prayer for those departed ones "Who served so well." A pleasing, stirring and memorable sermon was then preached by Rev. Griffin, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church. His theme was that the magnitude of war makes the victor often lose more than the loser, therefore peace is to be hoped for ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1926 ever had, suddenly informed officers and members that he had decided to terminate his services as pastor of the Wayman A. M. E. Church. There were many signatures attached to the following resolution which was presented to Dr. Adams: "To All Whom It May Concern: We, the undersigned officers and members of the Wayman A. M. E. Church, Wheeling, W. Va., do hereby express our sincere regret at the departure of our pastor, Dr. R. A. Adams, who of his own free will and accord leaves us for other fields. "We hereby express our great respect and high regard for Dr. Adams, our confidence in his moral and religious integrity, and our appreciation of the services he rendered during his labors among us; and we pray for his success in whatever field he may choose to labor." Dr. Davenport has not decided which one of the calls he will accept after he shall have taken a much needed rest. Dr. Adams has decided to resume work in the evangelistic field in which he labored successfully for twelve years, during which time he added to the roll of the A. M. E. Church nearly twenty-five thousand members. Death Results In Fight Over Winsome Wife Pine Bluff, Ark., June 4.—Robert Burton was killed Monday morning about daylight on the W. S. Young plantation, near Moscow, by James Yancy. Yancy was brought to the county jail here and a charge of murder was placed against him. He is said to have confessed. Officers say that the fatal shooting was the result of a quarrel between the two men Sunday, when Burton married a girl with whom both men were said to have been friendly. Yancy is said to have appeared at the barn on the plantation early Monday when Burton was hitching up teams preparatory to begin work, and fired five shots into the man with a pistol. M. E. CONFERENCE ASSIGNS BISHOPS AT KANSAS CITY Kansas City, Mo.—Assignment of bishops to serve for the next four years was announced last week by Bishop R. S. Williams of Augusta, Ga. following the closing here of the fifteenth quadrennial session of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. The assignments include: Florida and East Florida, Bishop R. S. Williams; Mississippi conference, Bishop Elias Cottrell; Alabama and New Orleans conference, Bishop R. T. Brown; Louisiana and Tennessee conferences, Bishop J. C. Martin; Texas conference, Bishop John W. McKinney. FOURTEEN ARRESTED FOLLOWING LYNCHING Labelle, Fla.—Six more men, making a total of 14, were arrested here last week. charged with first degree murder, following the death of Henry Patterson, who was lynched by a mob last Tuesday. Among the prisoners were Hurd L. Rivers, tax assessor of Henry county, and Radford Edwards, town marshal of Labelle. The others were Coy Mercer, Duane Cox, Norman Warriner and Herbert Tillman. The prisoners, guarded by a detachment of 116th field artillery, were taken to Arecadia. They were held without bail. rather than war at any price. Rev. Griffin stressed the point that the lives of the women and children are not safe in war as in the days of old, and the conquering of a foe to gain peace cannot be certain. COLORED POOL BLOWN TO BITS BEFORE OPENING COLORED POOL BLOWN TO BITS BEFORE OPENING Protests by Pleasure Resorters, County Supervisors Precede Mysterious Explosion. Engine, Rooms Wrecked Water Which Fed Colored Pool Emptied Into White Beach Lower in River Salem, Va., June 4.—Two mysterious explosions late last Tuesday night wrecked the dam of Kessler's mill, near Salem, recently converted by a new owner into a bathing pool for colored persons. Considerable objection against such use of the dam had repeatedly been expressed by farmers of the community and owners of a nearby pleasure resort, whose pool is fed by water coming over the dam. Officials Protest. About a month ago the county supervisors also protested against the scheme. Arrangements for the colored resort continued, however, in face of the opposition. It was reported that Saturday, May 29, would have been opening day. About 10:30 Tuesday night an explosion awoke the neighborhood. At midnight another and greater explosion occurred. Morning revealed one end of the dam blown out, the engine demolished and the line of bath rooms erected within the mill destroyed. The sheriff's investigation thus far has failed to reveal the identity of the perpetrators. CHILD RECOUNTS FAMILY MURDER Girl, 9, Tells How Father Shot Mother, Put Body in Sack, Fled From Home. (Preston News Service) Sacramento, June 4.—Indications that George Watters killed his wife at their home here last January 30 and mysteriously disposed of the body before disappearing from the city were received by Sacramento police. Watters and his 9-year-old daughter were taken into custody when attempting to cross the international border at Tiajuana, and the child told of the alleged murder. A telegram from the San Diego police said Watters' daughter told this story: "On January 30 my father shot my mother through he heart and blood came out of her mouth. He put her in a sack and took her away. The next day he sold all the furniture. We arrived in San Diego February 2 and sent our trunks to the Southern Pacific station. But my mother never arrived in San Diego." PAST EXALTED RULERS Past Exalted Rulers' Council No. 32 of Elks held its semi-annual election of officers at its regular meeting Tuesday night at Ames Hall, Minneapolis. C. W. Wigington was unanimously re-elected Chief Antler; Joe Levy, ViceAntler; T. C. Carey, 1st Scribe; L. C.

CORRECTION In the story of the ninth annual sermon and Memorial service of the Pullman Porters' Benefit association which The Echo carried last week, the name of Rev. W. H. Griffin, pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church was inadvertently omitted from the story. Rev. Griffin preached the annual sermon for the organization.

(Preston News Service) Dallas, Texas, June 4.—A man who disdains wealth, and has it, is working ten hours a day over a big restaurant range in this city, because he learned from his father to love hard work. His recreation is literature and his hobby is farming. While he swelters over a cook stove, properties he owns in Oklahoma and Texas are producing an income comparable to those of bankers and executives of huge corporations. Versatile Man. Author and poet, farmer, stock raiser, chef and oil magnate are the professions and occupations of Wesley E. Lawrence, citizen extraordinary. Before he reached the age of 40 he had built up an estate of some $70,000 by the power of his hands and the activity of his brain. In the last 110 days his income has been enhanced by receipts from oil royalties amounting to about $42,000. This spectacular rise in his earning capacity was largely due to the foresight and ceaseless energy of his father, for whom he was named, who U. S. SUPREME COURT DISMISSES WASHINGTON SEGREGATION CASE Creoles Claim Everything But Colored Blood (Preston News Service) The irie of many a "Creole" has been provoked because the innocent tourist thinks the word means "of colored blood." "Creole," the native Orleanian will tell you, means "of French and Spanish." The Creole is one who is born away from his country—what ever that country may be. The New Orleans Creole is considered the women's finest product. The women are lovely. The men are brave. They have charming manners. They are exclusive. They are clannish. They have their own language, their own society, and their own customs. The New Orleans Creole speaks a pure French. The reason "Creole" has been misunderstood is because their slaves spoke a Creole dialect, bearing about the same relation to pure French as the Southern Negro talk does to English purely spoken. Then there was the Acadian French, or "Cajaean" French, as spoken in the outlying districts of Louisiana. And "Gumbo" French—that means simply French incorrectly spoken. ST. PAUL ENTERTAINER FEATURED IN MILL CITY Miss Viola Lee, well known entertainer, has been engaged by Ames Lodge No. 128, I. B. P. O. E. of W., to feature the popular song hits at the cabaret dances given each Thursday evening at Elks' Hall, Sixth and Lyndale Ave. Mr. Paul Meyers, saxophonist with Fred Armatis' Jazz Band, which was one of the headliners at the Hennepin Orpheum Theatre last week, was a guest Thursday evening, May 27. His exhibition of the Charlesfon was a genuine surprise and decidedly different from the usual method. Scotty Williams came in for his share of entertainment.

ORATORY WINNER Los Angeles, Cal.—Miss Viola Baucom of Roosevelt high school won third place last Friday evening in the grand finals of the National Oratorical Contest on the Constitution, held at the high school auditorium.

The call was answered by Desk Sergeant L. M. Smith at police headquarters. Collins said that he would not leave the city. Authorities are investigating the source of the message. died two years ago at the age of 75, and partly due to the business sagacity of the junior Lawrence. No Investments.

Legal Basis Not Valid Judge Sandford Says Court Deprived of Jurisdiction by Contestant's Argument. (Preston News Service) Washington, June 4.—The Supreme Court Monday refused to interfere with the practice of white communities in agreeing to bar Negroes from buying their property when it rendered the decision in the case of Corrigan X. Buckley, et. al. In acting upon a case where the owners on a fashionable Washington street had determined among themselves never to permit a Negro to occupy, use, lease or purchase any of their property, the court, in an opinion read by Justice Sandford, declined to pass upon the validity of such arrangement on the ground that the controversy presented no question within its jurisdiction. It dismissed the case, leaving in force a decision of the lower courts here which held such agreements were constitutional and valid. Mrs. Curtis Contestant. The validity of the covenant between the white property owners was attacked by Mrs. Helen Curtis who had agreed to purchase from one of the owners before the owner had determined she was of Negro blood. Mrs. Curtis contended it was in violation of the fifth, thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the constitution. Justice Sanford declared the court could find nothing in any of those amendments to sustain her contention. Arguments Invalid. The fifth amendment was described by Justice Sandford as a limitation upon the powers of the general government, not directed against the action of individuals. The thirteenth amendment he outlined as de- (Continued on page 2) WOMEN HELP IN LYNCHING NEGRO Bloodhounds Used to Track Man Alleged to Have Attacked Young White Woman. Wilson, Ark., June 4.—Albert Blazes, charged with attacking a white girl, aged 22, was taken from officers last Thursday night by a mob of several hundred persons and hanged. Sheriff Haas, who, with two deputies, was guarding Blazes in a warehouse here, said that it was impossible to keep the mob from taking the prisoner. He said that after hanging the man the members of the mob returned to town quietly and "went to bed." Officers had intended to take Blazes to Blyereville or Osceola Friday for safe keeping. Following the attack, which occurred when the victim and two girl companions strayed from a school picnic, bloodhounds were taken to the scene and trailed the man who later was identified by the victim. Reports said a number of women were in the lynching mob. Y. W. C. A. SWIMMING POOL NOT FOR COLORED GIRLS New Bedford, Mass.—A tempest in a swimming pool has been started by the action of the local Y. W. C. A. in banning colored mermaids from the natatorium of the association's new building. White girls may duck themselves to their hearts' content, but the colored girls, even though members of the association, have been refused the right to sport in the giant white tub. The matter followed refusal to allow the Bluebird troop of the Girl Scouts to enter the water. It is said that the scout council may act, to have the ban removed, and cite the action of the Y. M. C. A., to uphold their contention. The St. Paul Echo $14 Court Block Telephone Cedar 1879 St. Paul, Minnesota President and General Manager.....CYRUS L. LEWIS Secretary-Treasurer.....EUGENE JACKSON, JR.

Claiming that it had no jurisdiction over the case as it was argued, the United States Supreme Court has dismissed the Helen Curtis residential segregation case. One of the things about the Constitution of the United States is that it allows of many interpretations. True it is, too, that for the points of law involved in any particular case, varying courts have been known to give widely varying decisions, all allowable on the ground of constitutional interpretation. In this case of Corrigan V. Buckley, et. al., the Supreme Court has seen fit to find no grounds in the arguments presented which would allow a decision from the body to be authorized. Whatever the grounds of the judges are, and it must be borne in mind that men who compose this court are recognized throughout their profession to be leaders in the legal field, the results of their decision will have far-reaching and disastrous effect upon the Negro population of the United States. Indianapolis is even now fighting an ordinance for the restriction of colored residents. In Kansas City a petition has been presented to the mayor asking that definite residence limits be set for the colored people of the city. In other parts of the country, the same question is being faced with bad effect upon racial good will. It is possible that the Curtis case may be taken again to the Supreme Court based upon different and more defendable legal ground. It is to be sincerely hoped that in the event of another adjudication, a decision will be rendered which will give the colored citizens of cities the country over a more secure foundation upon the rights which are presumably guaranteed by that much-too-much-interpreted document, the Constitution of the United States of America.

Perhaps it would from the Rondo station for the man his own health, or to teach him Continued dissatisfaction upon the part of colored taxpayers over the attitude of the officers at the Rondo street police station has taken a definite shape toward the activities of one Mr. Falkey, officer from the Rondo station. Approximately ten years ago, a colored man named Salter and this officer Falkey had some trouble in which the officer was shot. As the years have gone on, Mr. Falkey's disposition has not changed, it seems, for with the recent killing of two police officers, there was indicated a plot in which it was to have been the fate of Mr. Falkey to go the way of one of the slaughtered men. The killing seemed pre-arranged, but Mr. Falkey, having taken a night off, missed the party. Wednesday night a week ago, this same officer took part in another gallant arrest, assisted by other efficient officers from the Rondo street station. A car was overtaken in the vicinity of Rondo and Mackubin streets which was driven by a man who was undeniably intoxicated. To make the arrest, the officers found it necessary to beat up the lone man, evidently fearing that he was a desperado or perhaps the gunman who had been responsible for the death of the two officers. From superficial observation it would appear that Mr. Falkey is carrying a chip on his shoulder, and that he is venting his spleen upon every person he can. Perhaps it would be wise to remove the gentleman from the Rondo station for the mutual good of the community and his own health, or to teach him how to make an arrest properly.

Bravo, congressman! BOOK REVIEWS BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON, Chairman, Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "TURBOTT WOLFE" By William Plomer. Published by Harcourt, Brace and Company, 383 Madison Avenue, New York City. Price, $2.00. By mail, $2.10. "Turbott Wolfe" is a book about South Africa and its native problem. It depicts an Englishman of fine qualities, an artist, a humanitarian, thrown with intolerably cheap colonials and Dutch settlers, or with people who, if not cheap, are so odd as to be unbalanced. These ignorant, ill-mannered white settlers talk of the natives as nothing but animals, while the men have their black mistresses and their black families. They bring disease with them and they despise African culture. Turbott Wolfe finds the last word to be said of them and of the white man's civilization in Africa, whether it be trader or agriculturalist or missionary is "Unclean." Of the African, the picture drawn is very different. Unlike Sarah Millin, who wrote of South Africa in "God's Stepchildren," he finds much that is beautiful and dignified in the African though he also sees that the best in the savage is being destroyed by so-called civilization. He thus describes a native girl to whom he is attracted: "She was a fine rare savage, of a type you will find nowhere now; it has been killed by the missionaries, the poor whites and the towns * * * . An aboriginal, perfectly clean and perfectly beautiful. I have never seen such consummate dignity. She was an ambassadress of all that beauty (it might be called holiness) that intensity of the old wonderful unknown primitive African life—outside history, outside time, outside science." A very different picture from the squatting savages in Millin's tale, or the incredibly dirty creatures in the French Africa of Bactala. The plot of the book is slight, but it is bold enough to deal plainly with missegenation, and with the passion that a white woman may feel for a colored man. But chiefly it has given the author the opportunity to talk about the ever interesting theme of color. Of South Africa, the writer says through one of his characters: "Native question, indeed! My good man, there is no native question. It's an answer. I don't know whether people are willfully blind that they can't see what's coming. The white man's as dead as a door nail in this country." His three principal characters get together and a society of blacks and whites that stands firmly for misecognition as inevitable, right and proper. The half caste world is coming and they believe that they will prepare the way. The new missionary, one of the three, counts this more suitable work than teaching the natives that Esau was a hairy man and other such Old Testament tales. Of course, disaster comes to all three, and Turbott Wolfe, for whom you have a growing affection, and whom the natives learn to love and trust, has to give up his work and return to England. It is he who tells the story as he lies slowly dying of African fever. Here is one of the conclusions that he gives to his listening friend: "I think if you go into the question thoroughly you will find that ultimately, our civilization is obscure. It has always seemed to me to be the chief mistake of our age that we take it for granted that science is a panacea. The chief tendency of modern science has been to produce noise."

The work of Williams' Minstrels, produced by the men of Pilgrim Baptist church, under the auspices of the Usher Board of St. James A. M. E. church. Tuesday evening, June 1, 1926, was a very creditable affair, proving the ability of S. Ed Hall and Dr. Geo. W. James, especially in this line. The chorus work was of a high order. Mr. Williams, as interlocutor, was in the right place. The Cameo club held their last meeting of the season on June 1, 1926, at the home of the Misses Martha and Esther Bradley, 934 St. Anthony Ave. Plans are now being made for a Pow Wow at Robbinsdale, Minn., which will mark the close of the club's activities until September. Messrs. Albert True, William Benjamin and Miss Clara Smith were visitors. The Harriet Tubman Civic League will be hosts to an educational tour at the Water Works on the 14th of June. The guests will be conveyed in bushes from the Y. W. Center, where they will meet at one o'clock. This is the seventh of a series of educational tours sponsored by the league. The Tom Thumb Wedding given by the King's Daughters Charity club was quite a success. The solo rendered by Master Lewis Williams was highly enjoyed by all. Also the solo by Miss Loretta Powell.

People Have Learned Value of Thermometer A man named Galileo invented a thermometer in 1592. The liquid was in an open vial, and there was no mark or scale to show temperatures. After a while a mark was used showing the temperature of snow and another for the heat of a candle. Half a century later a man found he could make a thermometer of a glass tube with a bulb on one end, so by sealing the other end you could carry the thing about. Another half century or more passed, and Fahrenheit became interested. He developed the thermometer until it was a practical instrument, and by 1714 he had established his now famous Fahrenheit scale. That was over 200 years ago, says Good- Hardware, yet people are just realizing how actually useful this instrument is. For centuries it was looked upon with superstition; a score of years ago school children could tell you the owner of nearly every thermometer in town. The incubator, and then our scientific dairy, cooking and gardening, brought the thermometer into common use. Thermometers are an important item now. They are in demand every day of the year among folks who have learned a little about their uses. Many people demand a specially designed thermometer for each different purpose. Misunderstood An old negro named John Jones, upon leaving Atlanta, Ga., went to his bank, a negro institution, and had his book balanced, which showed a balance of $200. Landing in Cincinnati, the old darky issued a check on the Atlanta bank for $200, payable to the Cincinnati bank. In a few days the check was returned marked "Insufficient Funds," whereupon the Cincinnati bank sent an inquiry to the Atlanta bank about the old negro's account and the balance they showed on the pass book, against which no checks had been issued. The following reply was received: "Gentlemen—We don't mean that John Jones ain't got sufficient funds, but we mean that our funds are insufficienk."—Forbes magazine.

As to the contentions raised under the fourteenth amendment, the opinion said it had reference only to state action and not to any action of private individuals. Court Lacks Jurisdiction. For these reasons, Justice Sandford said, the constitutional amendment cited did not cover such transactions as that complained of and did not bring before the court a question upon which it had jurisdiction to consider its merits. The decision leaves open to the complainant further proceedings in the lower courts to force the sale provided she can find some other constitutional ground upon which to proceed. The case had attracted nation-wide attention, especially from a number of cities in which the issue had been fought over locally. The average American family consumed 824 pounds of dressed meat last year. If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and repels the ministry of ill, it is human love. —N. P.

It is an unmistakable monument of race achievement, a tribute to the intelligence, courage and loyalty of our members and a definite challenge to the reckless and unreasoning oppression of 12,000 Pullman Porters and Malds in particular and the race in general. We are preparing to be the first to file our case with the new Board. Our chances for success are much brighter and greater. But naturally our success will depend directly upon our strength. With 51 per cent we will get 51 per cent consideration. But with 80 or 90 per cent, we can and will get a much higher consideration. In order to crown our struggle with victory the Brotherhood expects and hereby calls upon every red-blooded, he-man, race-loving, self-respecting, upright-standing, Pull- ADVERTISERS Established 1905 RE NEAL Director Minneapolis, Minn.

Biggest One-Piece Doors The doors at the west entrance of St. Paul's cathedral in London are believed to be the biggest pair of one-piece doors in existence. There are, of course, bigger doors elsewhere, but not all in one piece like these. Each of the two leaves is of solid oak, about 80 feet high, and very massive. Because of their immense weight and unwieldiness, they are only opened on state occasions, and, very occasionally, in hot summer weather to air the cathedral. No nails enter into their construction, the various cross-pieces and panels being held together by bronze bolts. The doors are nearly as old as the cathedral itself, and have upon them the initials of the carpenter who made them—Detroit News.

Vanity Cost Job In the old days in the West, when saloons, instead of being blind pigs, were saloons, a circus magician, down on his luck, obtained a job as bartender. One day a traveling conjuror visited the saloon where the magician was employed, and in exchange for a few drinks did a number of tricks. The proprietor was greatly impressed, and, after the conjuror left, remarked, "That was a clever fellow. His coin tricks were wonderful." The magician, who had said nothing of his true profession, but whose pride was now aroused, remarked, "I don't think much of them. I can do better myself." He thereupon took a dollar from his pocket, and made it disappear before the eyes of the proprietor. When he had recovered from his astonishment, the proprietor said, "You're too smart to handle my money. You're fired."—San Francisco Argonaut. Water That Burns Powder river is a fitting name for the stream which passes through the northeastern section of Wyoming—it burns, "Burning water" exists in several places on the river where natural gas is found bubbling up through water. Some bubbles will ignite when a match is applied. During the winter peculiar formations are caused by the gas seepages. When the river is frozen over, gas accumulates under the ice and as the pressure gathers, it forces thin sprays of water through the weaker spots in the ice and these sprays freeze in curious formations of arches and low pillars. The gas does not make the water unpalatable for drinking. In Arvada there is a drinking fountain, the water of which can be set on fire at any time.

Big "Scoop" Credited to Virginia Gazette The Virginia Gazette is said to have been the first newspaper issued south of the Potomac river. It was also the first paper to publish the Declaration of Independence. The Gazette was established by a man named Parks at Williamsburg in 1786. It has recently been revived by the William Parks School of Journalism of William and Mary college. As established by Parks the Gazette was a single sheet, 12 by 6 inches, and was sold for 18 shillings a year. The first issue of the new series is in tabloid form and contains 12 pages. According to the first issue of this series, which was prepared by William and Mary students, one of the earliest numbers of the Gazette "scoped the world" on the Declaration of Independence. During the Revolutionary war three papers bearing the name Gazette were published in Williamsburg. One was edited and published by a woman, Mrs. Clementina Rind. She successfully conducted her paper for two years. She is given the credit of being the first woman in the United States to edit and publish a paper.—Pathfinder Magazine. Tasmania A Dutch navigator, Abel Janssos Tasman, discovered this island, which is now one of the states of the Australian commonwealth. He supposed it to be the mainland of the southern continent, and in honor of his friend and patron, Anthony Van Dieman, governor of the Dutch East Indies. It was later visited by Captain Cook and others, and first colonized in 1803. For a time the island was administered as an appendage of New South Wales. It was then still officially called Van Dieman's land, but the name Tasmania, in honor of its discoverer, was a popular one. In 1853, at about the time a constitution was being framed for the colony and it was being granted a considerable measure of self-government, it elected to adopt Tasmania as its official name. Dante of the Dawn Dante's work is untranslatable. To get a faithful English transcript of the great Florentine, we should need a diction of the Fourteenth century, molded by a more fiery and potent genius than Chaucer. Not the thoughts solely, as in every true poem, are so often virgin thoughts; the words, too, many of them are virgin words. Their freshness and unworn vigor are there alone in Dante's Italian. Of the modern intellectual movement, Dante was the majestic herald. In his poems are the mysterious shadows, the glory, the fragrance, the young life-promising splendors of the dawn. The broad day has its strength and its blessings; but it can give only a faint image of the glories of its birth.—George Henry Calvert.

C., June 4.—Mrs. Elizabeth Ware Bagby, 80 years old, who had worked for one family continuously for 60 years, during which she served five generations, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Nellie Phillips, C. street southwest, Thursday, after a long illness. Coming to Washington soon after the Civil War, she was engaged as a maid for Mrs. Matthew Stevens. She later accompanied a daughter of Mrs. Stevens' on a trip around the world, living in China for five years, where she managed a household of ten native servants. She afterwards worked for Mrs. Stevens' granddaughter, Mrs. Ernest Walker, until forced to retire due to illness. Mrs. Bagby's mother, Mrs. Bessie Ware, is said to have lived to be 132 years old. Funeral services were held at the residence on C. street, Friday night at 8:30 o'clock, after which the body was taken to Mrs. Bagby's old home, Spotsylvania Court House, Va., for burial. Travelers Will Miss Old Dutch Windmills The picturequease Dutch windmills are fast passing from the landscape of the land of dikes. The Dutch millers are modernising their mills and turning to electricity. They are right, of course; but along with the great blades and stubby towers there will vanish much that is quaint and pictorial in tradition as well as in architecture, for the miller has made his mill, through many generations, show and express his joys and sorrows. Always the Dutch miller has given his mill a name and called it by that; never just the "mill." When a daughter of the household married, the mill was gayly adorned; when a member of the family died, the mill was put into mourning, and the degree of that mourning was governed by fixed rules of windmill etiquette. If the owner died, all the 20 boards in the arms of the mill were taken out, and the mill stood motionless for a given time, as if in grief over the loss of its owner. When the church bells trolled, marking the procession of the funeral from church or home to the cemetery, the boardless blades were turned in unison with the bells. When the wife of the miller died, 19 boards of the blades were removed; for a child of the family, 18 boards; for the miller's parents, 11 boards, and so on down the line of relationship to the children of cousins, for whom one board was removed. -Youth's Companion.

C., June 4.—Bessie Alexander, recently indicted for murder in the first degree for killing Devola Woolridge, pleaded guilty to manslaughter Thursday when called for trial before Justice Bailey in Criminal Division 1. The woman was remanded for sentence. The tragedy occurred February 27 last at 512 U. street. According to Assistant United States Attorney Horning, who prepared the case for trial, Woolridge called at the woman's house and in the presence of other persons stated that he was "paying attention to her," which the woman resented. Woolridge picked up a knife and threatened to "show" her, and the woman securing a pistol from an adjoining room, shot through the door, inflicting an injury from which the man died.
