VOL. 2, NO. 3 CRISPUS ATTUCKS STARTS CLEANING HOUSE CAMPAIGN CRISPUS ATTUCKS STARTS CLEANING HOUSE CAMPAIGN Plan to Have Organizations Take Cost of One Room Each, Payable by January 1. Six Groups Volunteer Thanksgiving Services Scheduled at Pilgrim With Rev. Griffin A campaign has just been launched by the Crispus Attucks Home association to have the interior of the home cleaned and redecorated. The plan as outlined is to have churches, clubs, lodges, and other organizations assume the financial responsibility of cleaning or decorating one or more rooms. The drive will be continued through Jan. 1, 1927, although it is urged that organizations intending to render assistance signify that intention as soon as possible. Rooms Already Taken. Some organizations have already volunteered to take rooms, according to Mrs. Mary B. Hatcher, chairman of the committee. These organizations are St. James A. M. E. church, Pilgrim Baptist church, the Elks, the Daughter Elks, the U. F. B. association, and the United Benevolent association. Proceeds of the annual union Thanksgiving services will also be used in the clean-up project. Rev. Griffin Speaker. These services will be held this year at Pilgrim Baptist church, Cedar st., at Summit ave., Thursday, Nov. 25, at 11 a. m. The Rev. W. H. Griffin, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church will deliver the Thanksgiving sermon. It is hoped that the services will not enough to aid considerably the decorating of the rooms at the home. The Home association announces that the home has never been in better condition than it is now. It has been recently stuccoed so that the outside presents a neat appearance. The most crying need, according to the committee, is the complete cleaning and decorating of the interior of the building. Work is starting immediately upon the rooms which have been taken by organizations. When the various rooms are finished, they will be named permanently after the organizations which volunteered the money with which to clean them. URGE ADOPTION OF PRAYER DAY Equal Rights League Outlines Projects Framed at Sesqui Meeting. Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 19.An appeal to the race to adopt incessant individual prayer and group prayer as a measure of relief from proscription was issued today by the president of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. George Frazier Miller, Pastor of St. Augustine's P. E. Church here. This is the first measure of the Sesqui-Centennial Plan of Crusade for Rights adopted by the league at its 19th annual meeting and race convention in the birth city of the Declaration of Independence last month. The plan, designed to carry out the Sesqui Declaration of Rights there framed, advises also independent voting for men and measures, union of all kinds of race bodies to use the political and economic resources to compel relief from segregation, disfranchisement, lynching, and proscription, also membership in one or more civil rights organizations. It urges formation of racial Equal Rights leagues, especially during Sesqui-Centennial year. President Miller urges that November 25 be made a nation-wide Day of Prayer for deliverance from the wrongs and injustices which we suffer as the people, on Thanksgiving Day, unite to pray for continued prosperity and blessing.

Colored Women Strikers Will Get Union Charter (Preston News Service) Chicago, Ill., Nov. 19—The announcement made by Mrs. Fannie Ward, president of the provisional union of Date Workers in Chicago Sunday at the Bakery Workers instilled great enthusiasm into the colored women strikers who have now been out for nearly ten weeks against the Maras and company by extending a charter to them. Mrs. Ward addressed the Bakery Workers Sunday and received a pledge that the invitation would be extended. The union also donated $100 to the striking women. Militant picket duty activity has again started following collapse of settlement negotiations. Monday morning saw many of the new workers joining the ranks of the strikers. PORTERS FORCED TO VOTE, CLAIM Company Threats Coerce Workers to Ballot in Employee Plan, Averred. (Preston News Service) New York, Nov. 19.—Protests are being voiced by members of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters that they are being forced to vote in the company union elections by threats and attempts to withhold their pay checks. It is said the brotherhood officials plan an official protest. Its counsel, Daniel Richberg, advises the porters' union that its members are "justified legally as well as morally" in refusing to vote in the Pullman company "employe representation plan." The brotherhood claims over 6,000 of the 10,000 porters in its ranks and is appealing to the rail mediation board set up by the Watson-Parker act for recognition in place of the company union and for aid in securing a conference with Pullman Company officials toward a new wage scale and working condition agreement.

Pictures Made Of Jail Discrepancies in Story of Robinson, Sheriff, and Taylor, Jailer, Cause Doubt. (Preston News Service) Columbia, S. C., Nov. 18—Through the efforts of the State Detective W. W. Rogers, investigating the death and lynching of the Lowmans it has been revealed that Governor McLeod has six new affidavits involving the members of the mob. It is reported that the governor has intimated that he has no doubt that there is a real basis of truth in what the affidavits say. The affidavits are said to have been made by four Negroes and two white persons who were in the Aiken jail the night the three Lowmans were taken out and shot to death. In addition to the affidavits made by Mrs. Lucy Mooney and Charles E. Lee, who were in the jail that night, the new affaints include: Heyward Marshall and D. A. Worley, whites; J. Cliff Robinson, Walter Jennings, Joseph Rouse and Charles Chamberlain. Sheriff worried. It is said that Nollie Robinson, high sheriff at Alken, has made three trips to Columbia to see the Governor. It is said that Governor McLeod has ordered a photographer to go to Alken and make photographs of the interior of the Alken jail. He feels that there are a number of features of the stories of both Robinson and his jailer, Taylor, which have not been satisfactorily explained. Both these men testified at the coroner's inquest that they were overpowered by the mob, none of whose members they recognized, which came from inside the jailers' residence, "like a flock of blackbirds." Robinson said he fired two shots at them but missed and was downed by three or four men. The jailer related that the mob took his gun and keys from him. Jaller varies procedure. According to lawyers of Alken whenever they visited the jail to see (Continued on page 3) LESS AUTO NOISE. URGED BY A. A. A. LESS AUTO NOISE. URGED BY A. A. A. Too Frequent Use of Horn, Lack of Consideration for Pedestrians Deplored. A campaign against useless sounding of automobile horns has been started by the American Automobile association. Too frequent use of the horn, it is suggested, has caused "An approximation of bedlam" in hundreds of communities, says a statement of the A. A. A. In some cities autoists are required to sound their horns at every crossing, in other places they do it from force of habit, and this has made pedestrians callous to the warning signals. "Although the pedestrian has the right of way at the intersection, thousands of motorists will dash up to the corner and count on a horn signal frightening the pedestrian out of his legal rights. It gives motordom a reputation for selfishness and discourtesy and the elimination of this one form of noise would go an enormous way in healing the breach that exists between car owner and the non-motorist." Another way in which excessive noise may lead to accidents is in passing machines, says the statement. "A great many drivers are not content with a warning blast or two when they want to pass another machine. They blow the horn so excessively that, too often, the man in the machine ahead regards it as a challenge and refuses to grant a fair share of the road. Hundreds of races on the highway that have been attended by fatal or near fatal results have been started in this way." Roland Hayes Denies Engagement To Austrian Countess Colloredo Col. Charles Young Monument Is Dedicated At Impressive Service Col. Charles Young Monument Is Dedicated At Impressive Service Claims Complete Ignorance of Alleged Report Which Appeared in N. Y. Papers; Deprecates Statement. (Preston News Service) New York, Nov. 19.—Expressing himself with the most definite earnestness, Roland Hayes, the race's most distinguished singer, denied a statement published on Monday by one of New York's tabloid newspapers that he was engaged to an Austrian society woman, the countess Colloredo, a member of one of the oldest families in Austria, into another branch of which one of the most prominent of New York's society girls, Nora Iselin, now the Countess Colloredo Hannsfeld, has already married. In talking to newspaper men, Mr. Hayes, who reached New York late Monday for a recital engagement on Tuesday evening at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, declared emphatically that he is not engaged, knows nothing of the alleged report, which was published as a press dispatch from Vienna and that when he is engaged there will be neither secrecy nor delay in letting all the world know about it. The artist deprecated such reports, declaring that such publicity was distasteful, besides being absolutely without foundation.

Army Ever Accorded Negro; Emmett Scott, Officers, Give Eulogies. (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C.—A monument was dedicated to the late Colonel Charles Young, United States Army, Thursday, scores of citizens journeying to the grave in Arlington cemetery, where a program was under the direction of the James E. Walker Post, American Legion. Eulogistic addresses, paying tribute to the life and character of Colonel Young and calling attention to the fact that he held the highest rank ever attained by a member of the race in the regular army were delivered by Maj. O. J. W. Scott, retired, former army chaplain; Col. John T. Axton, chief of the Chaplains' Corps, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University. The program served the double purpose of according honor to Colonel Young and marking an appropriate observance of Armistice day. "Through the years of the future, Charles Young will be recalled as the officer who made it possible, by his high character, patriotism and devotion, for other men of his race to achieve high station as officers of the United States Army," declared Dr. Scott, "and we shall only venture to hope that the youth of his race may catch some portion of his undaunted spirit." Col. Young's son and other members of his family were guests of honor at the ceremonies, which were attended also by Col. Benjamin O. Davis, Maj. John E. Green, Harry E. Davis of Cleveland and members of the Walker Legion Post. Frank Coleman, chairman of the Young memorial committee, presided. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY cho nies Engagement countess Colloredo Comeback for Wills Is Planned With Persson (Preston News Service) New York, Nov. 19—Prospects of a heavyweight match between Harry Wills and Harry Persson, of Sweden, at Madison Square Garden some time in February were considered bright Friday, following Tex Rickard's announcement that he stood ready to match them. Rickard had previously said that he had washed his hands of Wills, after the man's efforts, through his manager, Paddy Mullins, to halt the Tunney-Dempsey bout in Philadelphia. Persson, at present, is not available, being under indefinite suspension her for fouling Bud Gorman. The Swede is also out of training owing to an injured left thumb.

Rhinelander Protests on Payment of Wife's Fees (Preston News Service) New York, Nov. 18—An appeal by Leonard Kip Rhinelander from an order denying a new trial of his suit for annulment of his marriage to Alice Jones Rhinelander, Friday, shared interest with an argument against additional allowance of $12,000 counsel fees for the wife. In a brief filed with the appellate division of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn, Isaac N. Mills, who represented Rhinelander when his annulment suit was tried before a White Plains jury a year ago, contends that $6,500 counsel fees already paid Mrs. Rhinelander are too much. Only in the Stokes and Stillman cases has so much been allowed, he submitted. Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 18—Five judges of the appellate division of the Supreme Court of New York are considering whether they should undo the marital knot that ties Leonard Kip Rhinelander to Miss Beatrice Alice Jones, the charming maiden whom young Kip says he married without knowing that she had Negro blood in her veins. Appealing from the verdict of the jury, which refused to annul his marriage after a sensational hearing several months ago, Rhineland's attorneys completed their arguments. The judges composing the appellate division gave no intimation as to when they would announce their decision. Another word for "failure" is selfishness"—the fear that if you work overtime or do more than you must, some one else besides yourself will benefit. DREAMS are the stuff of which concrete achievements are made. Back your dreams by activity and you'll succeed. PRICE FIVE CENTS 3 MORE DIE AT HANDS OF MOB NEAR HOUSTON Woman Is One of Victims; Intruders Shoot Man, Then Crush His Skull. Man, Wife Die In Fire Section Gang Watches Marauders Burn Home, Slay Occupants; One Escapes. (Preston News Service) Houston, Tex. Nov. 19—The Texas prairies are being combed by a posse in search of seven men dressed as cowboys, sought as the killers of three Negroes, one of them a woman, in one of the most diabolical crimes ever perpetrated in the state, it is said. The bodies of the victims were found Thursday morning at an isolated spot near the county line, twenty-five miles from Houston. Two of the victims—one a woman—were burned to death when the demand of their attackers that they quit their home went unheeded. Riddling the burning wooden building with bullets, the attacking barbarians emptied their pistols and fled. Use club. Surrounding the house under cover of darkness the maudraurs shot their first victim, Scott Evans, 50, a ranch foreman, when he responded to a call at the door. Wounded, he tried to run. One of the villains crushed the wounded man's head with a heavy weapon. Robert Brown, who occupied the house with his wife and Evans, failed to heed demands that the Negroes leave their home to face probable death at the point of mob's guns. Brown and his wife died in the flaming building, which had been set fire from end to end by the mob. Cook escapes. The fourth occupant of the house, Frazier Holmes, a cook, escaped. He answered a call at the door and was allowed to escape unmolested it is said. The house was on the Bassett Blakely ranch near the county line (Continued on page 4) Prays In Court When Freed Of Murder Charge (Preston News Service) New York City, Nov. 19.—Acting on the recommendation from the district attorney's office, Marian J. Burrell, aged 28, was ordered released Wednesday from a charge of first degree murder by Judge Koenig in General Sessions. A few minutes after Judge Koenig dismissed the charge Burrell walked to a bench in the corridor, where he dropped to his knees and offered a prayer of thanks. Burrell was indicted on a charge of having stabbed and killed Anton Corea during an argument over some money matters at a "rent-raising" party on the night of September 26 at the home of Mrs. William Deas in Lenox avenue. According to the district attorney's office an investigation tended to show that Burrell had acted in self-defense and was the aggressor or instigator of the trouble which resulted in the death of Corea.

The present board has behind it a long record of well worthwhile activity. It has fixed up the outside of the building so that it is both presentable and of a greater utility. It has also managed the internal affairs of the home in an eff cient manner. Its present campaign to clean and decorate the rooms of the building is but another forward step which was to be expected, and which was the logical event to follow the refurbish- ing of the exterior of the building. . The manner in which the cleaning is to be done is an excellent one. Clubs and organizations are asked to sponsor the cleaning of one room by furnishing the money necessary to have the work done. When the cleaning is finished, the room will be subsequently named after the organization which has made it possible to do the job. Already, organizations are falling into line, enthusiastic over the idea of helping so worthy an enterprise as this. Churches, as usual, are among the first to lend their aid, Several fraternal organizations are also in the first ranks of those who are helping ‘As a group, we should take pride in the upkeep of this institu. tion which is peculiarly ours. To that end, let us fall in with the spirit of the movement and assist in making the interior of the home spotless. Other organizations should, and will, emulate the example of those who have already registered for a room. THANKSGIVING One more Thanksgiving comes, and with it the opportunity to show publicly gratitude to the Ruling Power for the good things the past year has brought. It is true that Thanksgiving is no longer the time that it was in the early days of the institution. We are no longer as close as were the early fathers to elemental nature. Our food does not come directly from the soil-by the work of our own hands. We are a mechanically governed people. We are, in a sense, far removed from the primal in all things. And so, Thanksgiving has come to be a symbol, and not a concrete milestone in each yeat of our lives. Even so, the symbol stands for something which we should none of us forget. It represents privation, and toil, and struggle, and pain, and final achievement. The last is the symbol which is the keynote of the day. For us, as for the Pilgrim fathers, achievement should be 2 beacon light by which we can measure our progress. And, as Thanksgiving comes, we should pause momentarily to review the things which have come to us since the last Thanksgiving. There IS privation, and toil, and struggle, and pain in the path of each of us. And for all, there has been some degree of achievement. For that last, whether it be large or small, we should give thanks as individuals, and as a group, for it represents ow passing from one stage in our history, individual and race, to an- other higher plane. TENNIS PROGRESS We have been sent a copy of The American Tennis Review, a monthly magazine published by Negroes interested in tennis for a national reading group of Negro tennis enthusiasts, The current number is the third issue of the organ. ‘The magazine aims at covering all national Negro tennis news. We wish the publication success. If we have reached the place where we can and will support a national sport publication, it speaks well for our development in athletics, A unity of feeling between tennis players the country over can be sponsored by the publication. It will help greatly the fune- tioning of the Nation Negro Tennis association, an otganization of considerable importance in national sport circles. We commend ‘The American Tennis Review to the strong tennis organization of the Twin Cities. 206 W. 138th Street, New York City, N. ¥., Nov. 16, 1926.

"William Jennings Bryan was a great national figure not always because of what he said, but how he said it," declared R. E. Pattison Kline, public speaking expert at the Mid-West Organization school at Saugatuck, Mich., recently. "The spoken word can be made 1,000 times more effective than the written word," said Kline, "because the speaker may convey ideas by his eyes, his body movements, his hands, and by the inflections in his voice. "Ability to speak effectively is the result of training. The first time Gladstone, the great orator, appeared in public his speech was a complete failure. He was hissed by the audience. He determined to make people respect his thoughts and began regular training by reading out loud and practicing his speeches many times before they were delivered. "Abraham Lincoln, likewise, became an effective speaker after long, arduous practice in speaking out loud in private. The first time he addressed an audience he was so ungainly both in speech and figure that people laughed at him. He became one of the most effective speakers of his day." Kline makes the following suggestions for effective speech: Speak distinctly. Be positive. Adopt a note of authority. Be spontaneous and so full of your subject that the words pour out fluently. Never use a comedy story, or joke, in a serious speech. Laughter and applause divert attention from what you are saying. Don't try to get applause if you want people to keep interested in what you are saying. Use plain language, short words, and be accurate in your choice of words. Profanity and coarse slang are detrimental to a good speech. Learn to speak from an outline. Don't write out your speech unless necessary for press purposes. Answer the questions, who, where, what, why, how and when in your speaking. Divide your speech into introduction, discussion and conclusion, and make the introduction and conclusion very brief. Modulate your voice. Don't speak in a monotone. Don't talk too loudly; cultivate a resonant voice with tone quality. Be aggressive. Lean toward your audience with one foot advanced and hands at the side when not making gestures.

PAUL ECHO Big Min Sponsored by MONDAY EVENING, NO NEW AFFIDAVITS INTO LYNCHING TESTIMONY (Continued from page 1) prisoners the jailer took the keys from a huge safe implanted in the wall which he had to open with a key he wore on his person. The jailer told the coroner that the keys were on his dresser in his bed room when the mob awakened him and he put them on his belt before going down to face the mob. Why he did not put the keys in the safe and throw away the safe key when he saw the mob has not been explained. The sheriff appears unable to explain satisfactorily a number of incidents after he arrived at the jail in response to the jailer's telephone call for help. He says he found the mob outside between the courthouse and the main door of the jail. He says he argued with them to disperse and they turned and walked away. The sheriff says he addressed the mob as he stood directly beside the stairs leading to the main floor of the jail. No explanation has been made why when he turned and walked away toward the courthouse, he felt it necessary for him to enter the jail, which was safe against intrusion except by artifice. Nor has he related why upon deciding to enter the jail he left the stairs leading directly to the main entrance and walked fifty feet around the corner of the jail to the jailer's door. This maneuver forced him to turn his back to the mob. He says he found the door to the jailer's residence open, formed no suspicion that mob members might be inside the house, and tells of arriving at the steel door leading from the residence of the jailer to the jail and calling the jailer away from the main jail door to admit him. It was then, he says, the mob swarmed over him from the rooms behind him, darkened when the electric light wires was cut earlier in the night eight miles from town.

SQUIR Funeral 502 E. 24th Street A. --- LEXINGTON and UNIVERSITY Admission 50c The final and perhaps the most extraordinary part of both these stories by the sheriff, which remains unexplained, is how the mob got into the jail without injury. Robinson says he was seized from behind just as the jailer opened the large steel door to admit him. How the mob swarmed past him in an instant and seized the jail, who was inside the jail, before the sheriff got a chance even to fire his pistol or shut the door remains an unsolved mystery. Latest developments in the Alken lynching case, as reported in the New York World, include the removal from the Alken jail of 6 prisoners, 2 white and 4 colored, and the obtaining from them of affidavits establishing the identity of the officers who took Bertha Lowman from her cell and delivered her to the mob of lynchers. The World is continuing daily to publish detailed reports of the Alken situation on its first page, and reports coming by mail to the N. A. A. C.

Animal Mentioned in Book of Deuteronomy. Where did the very first giraffe's name come from? That's interesting in view of the fact that we want a name for Washington's new giraffe, but it's a hard one to answer. We can only go back as far as recorded history carries us, and we must suppose that up to that time they had no particular names, although it seems reasonable to believe that the cavemen of Africa called them something. Anyhow, about the first record we find showing that men were interested in giraffes is in the Bible. In the Book of Deuteronomy there is repeated reference to a creature which the Jews called the "zemer." Literally translated into English, that means something like a chamois. So, probably the first known name for a giraffe was "zemer." There is not much apparent similarity between the chamols of South America and the giraffe of Africa, is there? But that name probably developed from the fact that the giraffe's skin is very tough and very soft, something like that of the chamols. The first time a giraffe was ever known to be in anything resembling a zoo was in the days of Caesar. Ancient history tells how strange, tall animals were exhibited in the same amphitheaters, where the Romans used to throw the defenseless Christians to the savage lions. But the Romans called them "camelopard." In some parts of the world that name is still used to some extent. If you have ever seen a giraffe you can easily guess how the Romans got the name "camelopard." A giraffe has long legs and neck like a camel, yet it is spotted like a leopard. So it is a logical name after all. But such a name was only descriptive, it meant nothing at all. Our word "giraffe" is really much better. It is not only descriptive of the animal's color, but it gives him a definite place in the animal kingdom. It was taken from the Arabic word, "Zarafah," which means "tallest of all animals." The Arabs still call giraffes "za-ra-fahs," and it is not at all unlikely that their name is even older than that used by the Jews, although we have no records to prove that. We are told that giraffes were once plentiful over most of Africa. They were such inoffensive, friendly creatures, however, that they became easy prey for the natives and Arabs in the old days, and where they once roamed in great herds they have almost been exterminated, representing now one of the most valuable of all animals. Their flesh provided the natives with ample quantities of delicious meat, and their tough hides, when cleaned and dried, served numerous purposes, from making good, tough ropes to offering an easy means of rainproofing the roof of a native home. It was not uncommon even a few years ago to see as many as 40 giraffes in a single herd. Six or seven is about the limit now—Washington Star. LESLIE LAWRENCE POST 945% Robert Street, St. Paul, Minn. Devoted to the promotion and welfare of the American Legion in general, Leslie Lawrence Post in particular. Having assumed the responsibility of the Legion Department in these columns, the task is mine to make it entertaining and instructive to readers of THE ECHO. The Management deserves commendation for the generous allotment of space and the ex-serviceman can best show appreciation thru his active support of the paper. This may be done in several ways, the most important being a pald-up subscription and it is hoped at least each Legionaire among us is, or will be, a subscriber. Anyone desiring information as to Legion activities or Veteran legislation of any nature is invited to send inquiry to this Department. Always bear in mind the Legion is for the benefit of, and intended to serve, Every man who was called to the Colors. If any fail to accept the advantages offered, it is not the fault of the Legion. The annual membership is now on. The quota of Leslie Lawrence Post is 75. There are several times that number of eligibles in St. Paul and no adequate reason can be advanced why we should not quickly reach our quota. We can cop at least two prizes by being first over the top in this District. There are eighteen other Posts. One prize is donated by Department Commander 'Rufe' Rand and another offered by 'Jess' Marks of Post 8. Come on Buddy! Let's go! Set the pace and live up to your war record. No Black Troops ever shirked their duty, altho there be those who fail would have the world believe otherwise. Show 'em they lie! Consider it to be of interest to the public to know just who are the men supporting and upholding the Legion among our group, an early issue will carry the names of all 1927 paid up members. Next week we will tell of the beginning of the Legion, then "Why the Negro should belong." Jose H.

The assailants were unmasked. A railroad section gang saw the attack from their work site at Jaston, a railroad station nearby, but were powerless to interfere. No clue to their identity has been left by the mob, but Texas authorities express the belief that the killings were prompted as a revenge for the death of a white man near here recently. New York, Nov. 18—Asserting that the lynching of 3 negroes, one of them a woman, near Houston, Texas, brought the total to date for 1926 up to 31 lynchings as against 18 for the entire year 1925, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has telegraphed President Coolidge urging a statement from him to the country on this subject and asking that he urge Congress to take the appropriate action within its power to end the lynching evil. The lynching in Texas is the second in which a woman has been among the victims, the first such lynching for the year having occurred in Alken, South Carolina, where a mob on the morning of October 8, lynched Bertha Lowman, her brother and her cousin, the brother having been ordered acquitted by the Judge presiding at their trial. The status of the lynching states, as reported by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for the current year is as follows: Florida 8; Texas 5; Mississippi 4; South Carolina and Arkansas 3 each; Tennessee 2; and one each in Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Malne, New Mexico, and Virginia.

LONG-F The WRAPPING Keeps it Clean and Fresh Queen Places for Money Folks who distrust banks, like the Sydney (Australia) woman who buried $60,000 in gold in her garden, are apt to choose strange hiding places for their wealth. A few years ago a police court case revealed the fact that a London woman kept her money hidden in her mother's grave in a suburban cemetery. Quite a number of persons seem to put trust in the security of cannon as banking places. In a gun in a fort near Shoreham was found a parcel of jewelry, and in an old Crimean gun at Liverpool, England, a boy discovered a roll of notes, wrapped in a soldier's discharge papers, to the value of over $500.
