(From the Buffalo Express) The mortality figures for the year 1913 are out in a special census bulletin. It is significant that four states in the registration area which have a Negro population of over 10 per cent—Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia—should average 15 deaths per thousand of population, while a group with equal population, but fewer Negroes—Wisconsin, Washington, Vermont and Minnesota—averages 11.5. And here is the death rate for some southern cities: White Negro Memphis 15.9 28.2 Richmond 16.7 26.8 New Orleans 15.6 31.9 Baltimore 16.2 31.0 Nashville 14.7 24.0 Birmingham 12.3 25.2 Alanta 13.5 25.2 Washington 14.4 24.4 These are the comments of the Journal of the American Medical Association: "The arrangement is a starting one, but when comparison is made with previous years a basis is obtained for hope that progress now started will continue, and much is being done. Recently a conference was held at the call of the Louisiana State Board of Health to consider betterment of hygiene among Negroes. Five states and the District of Columbia sent delegates. Eight of the leading Negroes of the South were present. Progress has been made and sincere workers are adding impetus to the beginning steps. Another decade should see a more reasonable balance between the rates according to the two races." The Chief Reason—Segregation. It will, if in the meantime a stop is put to the segregation movement in Southern cities. Poor blacks, as well as poor whites, need to learn a deal more about sanitation. But even in the North the Negro has little choice of residence districts. He usually is not allowed to live in the choice sections, even if he has the money to buy or rent property there. In the South he is herded into the least desirable quarters, both by pressure of poverty and the segregation laws aforesaid. People living in narrow streets or alleys, amid smoke and smell, in antiquated and ruinous buildings, have not the best possible chance to preserve their health. Certainly they do not compete for life on equal terms with their neighbors of the dominant race. Miss Isabella Vandervall, the only colored student in the New York Medical College, received both prizes open to members of the Junior class of the New York Medical College and Hospital for Women. The first prize of $25 in gold was awarded her for attaining the highest average in her class for the pear; the other, a handsome watch, was given for having made the highest mark in the medical jurisprudence examination.

WASHINGTON June 23-Reports were laid before the cabinet today showing that revolutionary conditions in Haiti were serious and that no immediate solution was in sight. The difficulty of Haiti in meeting debts due to several European countries was discussed at lenth, but cabinet members said there was no serious fear that France or Germany would seize the Haitien custom houses. The possibility of the United States intervening in some way in Haita, and seeking to bring about peace and the payment of debts was discussed but nothing definite was decided upon. PLEASE PAY UP Netted $440,000 for Fight Against Tuberculosis. More than 44,000,000 Red Cr Christmas seals were sold last December, according to a report issued by the National Association for the St. and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the American Red Cross. In this v $440,000 is netted for anti-tuberculosis work in various parts of the United States. The sale in 1913 is a gain of 4,000 seals over 1912, or ten per cent is hoped that this year the 50,000 mark will be reached. The seal sign for 1914 has been selected orders for the printing of 100,000 seals have been placed. Plans for organization of a larger sale this y than ever before have been perfect. New York state led the court last year with a sale of over 10,500 seals or one for each man, woman or child in the state. Of this number more than 6,825,000 were sold out of New York city. Ohio came in with a sale of 2,800,000, Wisconsin third with 2,700,000, and Illinois fourth with 2,500,000. Hawaii sold the m seals per capita, the total sale be somewhat over two for each inhabitant. Rhode Island came second w a sale of two per person. Beginning with a sale of 13,500 1908, in six seasons the revenue w these little holiday seals have brought to the anti-tuberculosis campaign more than tripled, an aggregate the period of over $1,800,000 or 1,000,000 seals. *Pedagogues and Marriage.* Two bright-faced academy boys w discussing their teachers.

President Wilson Issues Ultimatum To Southerners Says He Will Appoint Colored Men To Federal Positions Southern Republicans Bar Negroes (Birmingham Reporter, June 6, 14) (Birmingham Reporter, June 6, 14) The Lily Whites are in the saddle. By virtue of their shrewdness in manipulating affairs, 23 members of the State executive committee succeeded Wednesday in eliminating the Negro from further official recognition as Republicans in the State of Alabama. This committee by a vote of 23 to 14 on two test cases accomplished by a provision which left the 17 Black Belt counties out of the call, countis in which the bulk of the Republican vote is cast by Negroes Although Ad Wimbs of Greensboro and E. L. Stewart of Hope Hill, members of the committee, had the assistance of P. D. Barker of Mobile and Truman H. Alddrich of Birmingham, their efforts were unavailing to halt the onrush of the "steam roller" the lily writes were manipulating. Mr. Wimbs and Mr. Stewart boldly opposed the action of the committee which bereft them and all other Negroes of their rights to be known in an official sense as members of the Republican party. This action was taken by the majority of the members as a result of the steam roller" program, which went through to the tune of 23 to 14. Ad Wimbs led the fight. He was supported by other members of the committee, among them Major P. D. Baker, member of the national executive committee, and Truman H. Aldrich, Postmaster of Birmingham The committee made the basis of representation in the convention one delegate for every 100 voes or fraction thereof cast in the last national election for Roos velt and Taft. This action, counting in Roos velt votes was necessary because of the exceedingly small vote the Republican standard bearer received in the last presidential election and because furthermore, the Republicans are flirting with the Progressives in the hope that they will unite their forces. The convention was held in Birmingham, Ala, June 23rd. The Progressive State convention was held the same day.

A break between the President and the members of his party in the Senate from the South is indicated on account of the announced intention of the president to appoint a negro as recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia. The office is now filled by Henry Lincoln Johnson, a negro appointee of President Taft. Johnson hails from Georgia. Senator Hoke Smith recently pointed out to the president what he considered good reasons why the incumbent should be removed. He learned that if the president removed the incumbent he would appoint a Negro to fill the place. Wilson to Fight for Colored Men. Washington, D. C., June 11, 1914 It has leaked out that no trifling issue has arisen between the Southern Democratic senators and the president over the appointment of colored men to Federal office. The president has laid down an ultimatum that he will appoint them, and defies the Southern senators to do their worst. They do not like the war, but are prepared to resist the president in the senate when he makes the nominations. Grandfather Clause To Be Decideb In October WASHINGTON, June 22. The supreme court adjourned until October after deciding the intermountain rate case the California oil land grant cases. the eastern States and retail lumber dealers suit and several other important cases pending for months. Just fourteen cases in which arguments had been made were left undecided. These cases involving the constitutionality of the "gandfather classes limiting the right of Negocs to vote in Oklahoma and Annapolis, Md.; the Mid-Western land case involving the validity of President Taft's withdrawal of oil lands from entry; the Nashville grain re-shipping case, and the Henry case involving the right of congress to compel individuals to testify before investigating committees.

PEOPLE HAVE VARYING IDEAS independence In Construction Gives Charm to American Towns When Not Overdone—Model Shown Here Would Make an Ideal Abode. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he, is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, IL., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. There are a great many different kinds of roofs covering a great many styles of houses, any one of which may look well if it is rightly proportioned, well made and in keeping with the house it is intended to cover. A good deal also depends upon the style and appearance of other buildings on the same property. You don't want a low roof on your house and a steep roof or a gambrel roof on the stable if the two buildings are placed near together, but you are under no obligation to follow the whims and caprices of your neighbors in working out ideas that they may have copied—and abused. One lasting charm of the resident sections of American cities and towns is the individual independence in house construction. In the length of a street you will seldom see two houses alike, and you find the variety THE NEW HOUSE just as interesting and agreeable as the different characters and the varying personal appearances of the owners when you learn to know them. They have built their houses after ideas of their own and the houses have grown like themselves in many respects, crotchety, possibly, in some directions, but upon the whole pleasing and entertaining. But where land is valuable house building cannot run riot. There are general building restrictions that must be observed. The houses must all be KITCHEN 10'0" x 10'0" PANTRY 10'0" x 10'0" DINING ROOM 14'0" x 12'0" LIVING ROOM 24'6" x 18'0" PORCH First Floor Plan. placed about the same distance back from the street line so one will not obstruct the view from another, but even this rule should be varied to the extent of a few feet, or at least a few inches, to break the tiresome monotony of a straight line. It is not pleasing to see a long line of houses with the fronts all toed up to a chalk line, with the porch columns placed in mathematical precision. But you never see dwelling houses built that way except on new streets that have been laid out by contractors who own the ground and build the houses to sell. Such a string of ready-made houses will spoil the appearance of any street. A house is never a home worth the name unless it represents the individuality of the owner by giving expression to some of his peculiarities. A dozen men could never be found who would agree on any such uniformity in house construction. The contractor simply forces his ideas upon a lot of unwilling buyers, and most of them resent his interference, although it saves them a little trouble at the time. A dozen men will look over a book of house plans and select a dozen different arrangements of rooms, and after picking out their favorites half of those men will suggest little changes to fit their individual tastes; then when their wives are finally consulted further modifications are made, until sometimes the original plan merges into quite a different house. In building a house like the one here illustrated, the owner has a well-proportioned house with sufficient size to give large rooms. The width is 28 feet 6 inches, and the length is 34 feet, exclusive of porches.

The open stairway leading up from this large room also is an arrangement peculiar to this 7087x style of house. Another good feature of this main room is the large comfortable-looking fireplace at one end where it will look its best from the window seat in the other end of the room. The modern large living room idea has been growing in the minds of the American people for several years. We have learned that it is not necessary to have large bedrooms or large hallways that are not used except at intervals, but we have found that a large, alry living room is used continually from early morning until late at night. This fact has led up to making a large living room the principal attraction, a fashion so sensible that it is likely to continue for many years. Cement plaster on metal lath makes a good outside finish for this house, and in connection with the cement plaster a good deal of cement may be used about the porch, in fact, the whole lower part of the porch may be built of cement, including the floor and steps, or a framework may be built up and covered with metal lath and cement plaster the same as the sides of the house. A great deal depends on the cost of sand and the facilities of the contractor to make and use concrete. HASTY JUDICIAL DECISION. "Officer, what's the charge against this man?"

The long-cherished plans of the colored people of New York to have a theater of their own are about to be put in operation. The Bijou theater, Broadway and Thirty-ninth street, for years one of the famous playhouses of the city, will be reopened as a theater for colored people. The scheme is under the direction of Jerome Rosenberg, who will be one of the white persons connected with the venture. Rosenberg will inaugurate a colored stock company at the Bijou to play musical comedies, and the opening production will be "The Darktown Follies of 1914." All the employees of the Bijou will be colored persons from the man in the box office to the ushers and the water boys. The orchestra, too, will be made up of colored musicians. The Bijou is being redecorated for the opening, and the price of the best seats will be $1. On certain afternoons the management plans to give performances when white persons will be admitted. Great Britain's foreign trade for 1913 reached an unprecedented total. An interesting account of how the courts in many states were enlisted during the year 1912 to aid the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the steady fight to obtain full recognition everywhere for the Negro race is presented in the report of the association's attorney, which is made a part of the fourth annual report of the body, just issued in printed form. The attorney is Chapin Brinsmade of New York. Included in his work were three cases before the United States Supreme court, namely, an attack on the constitutionality of the "grandfather" case in Oklahoma, which, in effect, peels Negroes to pass educationalals before being permitted to regis- and vote; an effort to win an inition against the enforcement of "Jim Crow" law, which affects rail-travel by Negroes in southern-ss, the injunction having been dein lower courts; another test of "Jim Crow" law as applicable to state travel in sleeping cars, cases still are pending. The following paragraphs from Mr. smade's report show the various tests which have been taken by legal department of the associain behalf of the negro race: the segregation idea is spreading. Tisonville, Ky., has just passed a legislation ordinance. I am commuting with a committee of colored coats of Louisville organized to optics passage. the 'Jim Crow' problem has led a stage where little can be except by legislation to prevent segregation. It seems to me that more be accomplished along this line by aling to the various public service missions than by bringing actions to courts. the recent statute of Florida, makit illegal for white teachers to be colored schools, and colored hite schools, is perhaps the worst ample of recent anti-negro legislation I am in communication with rural church missionary associates which conduct missions in Florida and expect to co-operate with in testing the act, should it be led to private institutions.

Garrison Square in Kansas City was opened to negroes by the park board recently. It is bounded by Troost and Forest avenues, Fourth and Fifth streets. The field house cost $60,000. In addition are an athletic field, wading pool and playground. A large crowd of negroes attended the opening. In the field house are 41 shower baths, 22 of which are private, a large auditorium, reading room, rest room and library. The wading pool is in commission, but the athletic field has not been fully equipped yet. The latest report of the director of the bureau of agriculture at Manila says that the rice crop of the last year was the greatest which has been recorded for many years in the Philippines, being 100 per cent greater than in the previous year. As a direct result of the bumper crop there has been a decrease of rice imports of more than 176,000,000 pounds, representing in value more than $2,500,000.

POULTRY FACTS CAUSE OF POULTRY DISEASE Damp Litter Responsible for More Colds and Cases of Roup Than Extreme Low Temperature. (BY A. C. SMITH, Minnesota Experiment Station.) The modern poultry house usually depends upon ventilation to prevent it from becoming uncomfortable from excessive humidity, which is an exceedingly difficult thing to do during a prolonged period of damp weather. Litter is usually of such material that it absorbs water readily and at such times as mentioned above becomes intolerably damp. Because of the fowls' close and constant contact, damp litter causes more colds and cases of roup than extremely low temperatures, and is on that account most damaging to ```markdown ``` Interior of Modern Hen House. the health of the fowls which can endure dirty litter almost to the point of filthiness with less harmful effect. Remove the damp litter at once even though it has just been put in. No litter at all would be better than damp litter. Occasionally, one must expect to find the weather against him. Even poultry men cannot expect to find it all sunshine. Make the best of it and supply new and dry litter at a trifling cost rather than sustain big losses in fowls or egg-production—probably both. GET MORE MONEY FOR EGGS GET MORE MONEY FOR EGGS Much Loss Can Be Avoided by Keeping Rooster Out of Flock—Many Eggs Are Bad. (By H. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri Experiment Station.) Bad eggs cause Missouri farmers a loss of between three and four million dollars annually. Government experts estimate that five per cent of the eggs marketed have developing chickens and that three per cent are "rots" due to the embryo decaying. All these losses could be avoided by keeping roosters out of the flocks, thus having only infertile eggs produced. If Missouri farmers would follow this plan, they could save one and three-fourths millions of dollars annually. Infertile eggs produced by flocks in which there are no male birds are the only kind that can reach the consumer in good condition during the hot summer months. The only object in having a male bird in the flock is to get fertile eggs for hatching purposes. Now that the hatching season is over, the Missouri college of agriculture urges all farmers to sell off all the roosters or shut them away from the hens. Last year in July and August nearly one-half of the eggs leaving the farms were unfit for food. The farmer, as a result, received a low price. Prevent that loss this year by getting rid of the rooster. Now is the time to act to prevent future losses. FREE RANGE FOR THE CHICKS Fed In Hoppers With Two Compartments—Water Given From Barrel Placed In Cool Place. (By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.) When incubator chickens are from eight to ten weeks old, we give them a free range, and feed them from hoppers, which are filled once a week. These hoppers have two compartments, one for the meal mixture and the other for the cracked grains. Some poultry men water their chicks only once a week. They use a good-sized barrel, fill it with water, and haul it to a shady place where it will keep cool. The barrel is fitted with a tap, which is set so as to let the water drop into a pan just fast enough to keep up the supply without waste. This plan is followed till the time for rounding up the chicks for the winter. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR Drink Coca-Cola The thirsty one's one best beverage.

THE COCA-COLA CO., ATLANTA, GA. Sales of Red Cross Christmas Seals Netted $440,000 for Flight Against Tuberculosis. More than 44,000,000 Red Cross Christmas seals were sold last December, according to a report issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, and the American Red Cross. In this way $440,000 is netted for anti-tuberculosis work in various parts of the United States. The sale in 1913 is a gain of 4,000,000 seals over 1912, or ten per cent. It is hoped that this year the 50,000,000 mark will be reached. The seal design for 1914 has been selected and orders for the printing of 100,000,000 seals have been placed. Plans for the organization of a larger sale this year than ever before have been perfected. New York state led the country last year with a sale of over 10,500,000 seals or one for each man, woman and child in the state. Of this number, more than 6,825,000 were sold outside of New York city. Ohio came next with a sale of 2,800,000, Wisconsin third with 2,700,000, and Illinois fourth with 2,500,000. Hawaii sold the most seals per capita, the total sale being somewhat over two for each inhabitant. Rhode Island came second with a sale of two per person. Beginning with a sale of 13,500 in 1908, in six seasons the revenue which these little holiday seals have brought to the anti-tuberculosis campaign has more than tripled, an aggregate for the period of over $1,800,000 or 180.000,000 seals.

THE RIGHT SOAP FOR BABY'S SKIN In the care of baby's skin and hair, Cuticura Soap is the mother's favorite. Not only is it unrivaled in purity and refreshing fragrance, but its gentle emollient properties are usually sufficient to allay minor irritations, remove redness, roughness and chafing, soothe sensitive conditions, and promote skin and hair health generally. Assisted by Cuticura Ointment, it is most valuable in the treatment of eczemas, rashes and itching, burning infantile eruptions. Cuticura Soap wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of ordinary soap and making its use most economical. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

Its Kind. The virtues of bicarbonate of soda as a deodorant are known and appreciated by very few—most of them nurses and physicians. What woman will not be glad to learn, for instance, that it is a perfect neutralizer of perspiration odors? There are many expensive powders put up for this purpose and some of them are effective, but plain sodium carbonate at five cents a whole lot is quite as good, as the best of them. It may be rubbed on the shields or through the armholes of a white shirtwaist and be relied upon to neutralize any odor. The armpits may also be bathed with a solution of it before dressing. The most fastidious of women, who have found constant bathing ineffective for this affliction, will find this simple precaution a great boon. Whenever riding upon the cars for any distance with children, they are sure to want a little luncheon, either of cookies or sticky candy. Whenever they get their hands and face terribly soiled, all you have to clean them with is a clean handkerchief, which very seldom takes off all the dirt. When starting out you should take a two-compartment rubber lined envelope case, just large enough for your coat pocket or handbag; on one side have a dampened face cloth (not too wet) and on the other a dry face cloth. Then when little faces and hands are soiled you will have your damp cloth to wash them with and a dry one to dry them. It will prove to be very useful whenever with small children. Mme. Joire, the Paris dressmaker, was talking about the complicated draperies of the new spring gowns. "They're very hard to put on and take off," she said. "Husbands curse them.

A Chicago doctor prophesies that children born in 1950 will have an average length of life of 100 years. The prophecy is based on a study of statistics, which show that the average length of life has been steadily increasing for 50 years, and he thinks that the rate will be maintained. "I am sorry to see you going with that disreputable young fellow, my son, even if he has plenty of money and goes everywhere." "But, father, didn't you tell me to cultivate society?"

STEERING GEAR OF SHIP BROKEN QUARTERMASTER SAYS SHIP VEERED AT TIMES. Empress Captain Had Signed "Full Speed Aster" Before the Cream. Queen—Auxertion by James Pramie Gallway, a quartermaster that the Kinggrene of Ireland did not alley, that her wield "jammed" only a few hours before the collision with the Boatrat which sent her to the bottom of the St. Lawrence and a denial of these claims by officers of the lost Canadian Pacific liner were cardinal points in the make of testimony heard by the commission investigating the wreck. It was announced that a contract to salvage the Empress had been let to the Canadian Railway Co. It is he has been two months will be required to complete the work. It has not yet been decided whether an attempt will be made to raise the sunken hull after the bodies and valuable cargo have been reached. Galway underwent a severe cross-examination at the hands of Lord Mersey and Butler Axpinnall, representing the owners of the Empress, but he stuck to his story. It was initiated during the proceedings that an attempt had been made to get him out of the country without testifying. This was denied by Canadian Pacific officials. Before Galway was placed on the stand Robert H. Brennan and Robert Laddell, of the engineering staff of the Empress, corroborated the testimony of Captain Kendall that after leaving Father Point the ship had been ordered "full speed ahead," "stop and full speed astern" and finally "stop." NIERD TALE OF THE HIGH SEAS Sailor Shanghailed at Nagasaki and Substituted For a Prisoner. San Francisco.—Shanghailed in Nagasaki, carried in irons across the Pacific on the United States transport Sheridan and thrust into San Quentin penitentiary to serve three years under a name he could not pronounce for a crime he never had heard of, Albert Johansen, a Scandanavian sailor, was freed by the United States district court. The prisoner's story was that he was drinking one night last month in a waterfront saloon at Nagasaki. Three strangers offered to stand him a treat. He accepted. The next morning he found himself at sea a prisoner. Nobody understood him when he tried to explain who he was and he was delivered at San Quentin as James Rogers, alias Peter Grimes, there to serve three years for a sentence imposed by the treaty court at Shanghai for forgery. His cellmate chanced to be a fellow countryman and through him he got a hearing. The real Rogers served a year in San Quentin for forgery. When released he won the interest of Captain Robert Dollar, a merchant of San Francisco who sent him to China as a clerk. Soon Rogers was posing as Captain Dollar's son. He began to pass bad checks, was caught and convicted and sentenced to three years in San Quentin. An officer of the court was to have taken him to Nagasaki where he was to be placed on the Sheridan. The department of state received messages from the United States consuls at Shanghai and Nagasaki confirming the substitution story and later news of Grimes' arrest. Preston was told that Grimes could not be extradited, but that the Japanese government had given assurance that it would prosecute the forger. CARRANZA AND GEN. VILLA SPLIT REBEL COMMANDER BREAKS WITH CHIEF; BEIZES OF- FICES AT JUAREZ LEADERS SUMMONED TO TURREON Appointment of Matera to Direct Part of Army, Matera Move--- Matera Falla to Take Zacatecas. El Pano Ter—General Villa has tendered his resignation to General Carranza. To Villa's message the con- municated commander-in-chief replied asking who would succeed him. Following this Villa's various military chiefs held a conference and sent a "round robin" to Carranza, declaring they would accept none other than Villa as a leader. General Villa has ordered all commanders of garrisons throughout the territory he controls to report at once to Tourem. This order was accepted continuously by observers here. History of the Panasonic Orono rebellion against President Madero was revived. Orono, like Villa, was a leader of volunteer troops of Chihuahua state and as a popular favorite led a revolution against the former president. Controls Northern Mexico. Private advisers received here told of the taking over by Villa of the Carranza offices at Juarez and Torreon, evidently placing the entire northern part of Mexico in the power of his military force. Carranza's publicity agent was reported jailed and practically all the employees of the information bureau were arrested. Although Villa's persistent military successes had occasioned suspicion regarding his relations with Carranza, the matter did not receive serious consideration until the appointment by Carranza of General Panfilo Natera as commander of a newly created military zone. Natera's appointment placed him in charge of a strip of country which Villa previously had planned to invade, including the yet uncaptured city of Zacatecas. Natera attacked Zacatecas while Villa remained at Torreon viewing the experiment from the rear. The Fight at Torreon According to reports from Mexico City, confirmed by private advisers, from the revolutionists front below this point, Natera was defeated decisively in frequent attempts to take the city. Then it was that Carranza requested Villa to rush to Natera's assistance. This was several days ago and, in the meantime, reports continued to arrive of Natera's defeat. Villa remained at Torreon. The matter of who should regulate the public service in northern Mexico admittedly has been a bone of contention between Carranza, the leader, and Villa, the subordinate. Under the old federal regime, the railroads and telegraph were subject to central control from the national capital. All of the officials ousted by Villa were appointees of Carranza whose civil cabinet had taken over the management of the raffroads and telegraph, and, incidentally, the information bureau, in accordance with the prescribed custom in Mexico. VANDERBILT CLAIMS FREEDOM Trustees Terminate Relations With Church; New Members Chosen. Nashville, Tenn.—That the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in session recently at Oklahoma City, has voluntarily terminated its relations with Vanderbilt university and voluntarily renounced all rights it had or may have, directly or through any agencies, to confirm the election of members of the board of trust of the university and that it is now the right and duty of the board of trust to fill vacancies in its body without requesting or receiving the confirmation of the general conference or any of its agencies, is the sense of a resolution adopted by the board of trust at a meeting here The Vanderbilt board of trust re-elected as members of the board for terms expiring in 1922 the following: Chancellor J. H. Kirkland, Whiteford R. Cole, G. M. Neely, Dr. G. B. Winton, Robert F. Jackson and Claude Waller, all of Nashville, and Robert F. Maddox of Atlanta. Dr. M. M.

Aviators, Enveloped by the Flames. Crash to Earth With Wreckage. —Many People See Tragedy. Vienna.—Nine burned and mutilated bodies, the splintered fragments of an aeroplane and the charred remnants of a big dirigible balloon are the mute records of one of the most tragic, certainly the most sensational disasters which have occurred since man learned to fly. The catastrophe, which resulted in the death of all concerned, nine officers and men, followed a mimic attack by the aeroplane on the dirigible at a great height during the Austrian maneuvers and served to show more than any previous accidents to flying machines have done, the horrors that would be likely to attend aerial warfare. The news had gone abroad that something in the nature of a sham aerial fight would take place and at Koenigsburg, the scene of the engagement a big crowd had gathered. Very quickly the smaller, but much speedier craft overtook the big airship and then spectators witnessed a thrilling sight. Like a wasp, bent on attacking a climmy enemy, the aeroplane circled several times around the balloon now darting close to her and then away, always apparently steering off just in time to avoid an actual collision. Meanwhile the balloon continued to rise until it was about 1,300 feet from the ground. The aeroplane, at a still greater height, maneuvered until it appeared to be nearly over the airship. Then it began its descent. It was the evident intention of the pilot of the aeroplane to take up a position directly above the dirigible, within striking distance but, owing either to a fatal miscalculation of distance or speed, the nose of the biplane struck the envelope of the airship and ripped it wide open. A tremendous explosion followed, the balloon burst into flames, which enveloped the biplane and the wreckage began to drop, crashing like lead to the slope of a hill. Almost at the same moment the wife of Lieutenant Hostetter, commander of the ship who was killed, who had been married only a month, arrived in a motor car. The envelope of the balloon still was burning when it struck the ground. Litutenant Flatz, when extricated from the wreckage showed faint signs of life, but almost immediately expired. All the others were killed. 197 CANADIAN MINERS ARE KILLED Explosion at Lethbridge, Alberta, Caused By Gasses. Lethbridge, Alberta.—The bodies of 94 of the 197 miners entombed when an explosion wrecked the inner work- ings of mine No. 20 of the Hillcrest, Alberta, collieries, had been brought to the surface. All hope of rescuing alive any of the remaining 103 miners of the crew that entered the mine had been abandoned. THE PIPE LINES ARE CARRIERS STANDARD OIL MUST BOW TO WILL OF INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION. RAILROADS WIN PETROLEUM LAND Commerce Commission Sustained by the Supreme Court in Inter-Mountain and Long-and-Short-Haul Rate Decision. Washington.—Standard Oil lost its vigorously waged fight against government regulation of its pipe lines when the supreme court upheld the validity of the amendment to the Hepburn rate law, which declared oil pipe lines across state lines common carriers subject to the authority of the inter-state commerce commission. The court exemption from the operation of the act, the Uncle Sam Oil Company, an independent, Chief Justice White and Justices McKenna disentencing from this action. Justice McKenna also vigorously attacked the constitutionality of the act. Justice Holmes, announcing the majority's conclusion, pointed out that the act was passed to relieve the country from the monopoly of the Standard Oil Company and the mere fact that the Standard's pipe lines owned all the oil it transports did not take it out of the class of common carriers. He explained that in effect the Standard was carrying the oil of other producers, even if it did force them as a condition of the transportation to sell the oil to it. Congress, the court declared, had the power to make corporations that were common carriers in fact become so in form. Railroads Win Petroleum Lands. Title of transcontinental railroads to some $700,000,000 worth of petroleum lands as against other private claimants was upheld by the supreme court in a test suit brought by Edmund Burke of California against the Southern Pacific railroad. At the same time Justive Vandeventer for the court, stated that seemingly the government's right to attack the railroad's title for error had expired in 1900 or 1901. It was made plain, however, that the government's rights were not involved in the case before the court and there was no mention of the recent suit brought by the government against the Southern Pacific to regain the lands in question. Government officials after the decision said they would press the suit. Since the government began to grant lands to transcontinental railroads in 1866, every patent issue to railroads contained a reservation of exception to the effect that lands in the patent later found to be mineral lands should not pass to the railroads. Such a reservation was contained in patents issued to the Southern Pacific for California lands in later years found to be rich with oil wells. Burke claimed the land did not pass to the railroad and sought to enter it as mineral lands. The court held that the land office officials could not perform their duty imposed on them by congress of not patenting mineral lands by merely inserting the reservation of exception. It held the officials were bound to determine whether the lands were mineral before issuing the patent and that the patents were binding unless procured by fraud or error. Justice Vandeventer stated that the patents were issued in 1904 and apparently the government had not proceeded to set up any claims of fraud in obtaining them before that time although the railroad had produced an affidavit that the lands swore non-mineral. Therefore he added seemingly the right to make the attack had expired in 1900 or 1901. Commerce Commission Sustained The interstate commerce commission's so-called intermountain rate orders were sustained as valid by the supreme court, which held at the same time that the long and short haul clause of the interstate commerce law was constitutional. Both had been attacked by transcontinental railroads. The defunct commerce court, passing over the constitutional question, had annulled the orders on the ground that the commission had no authority to issue "blanket" or "zone" orders and might act only on the reasonableness of the specific rates. In overturning that contention and holding that the commission did have that authority the supreme court decided a point lawyers and close observers of the interstate commerce commission's procedure say is of equal importance to the intermountain rate itself—if not greater.

Many Uses for Telephone The telephone is being put to many strange uses as a labor saver and an emergency aid. In the cost-keeping systems in many factories the workmen do not keep their own time records, but telephone to the bookkeeper whenever they start or finish a job, so that he can make the entry. Automatic telephone temperature recorders are used in orchards to save fruit crops from frost. When the temperature falls the central operator is notified, so that she can arouse the farm hands and send them out with smudge pots. Beating the Bakers: "Oh, I am almost tired to death!" said the woman who spends half her time addressing club meetings. "Our political economy club has been in session all day passing resolutions and drawing up petitions demanding a law regulating the price of bread. Only think! Three dollars' worth of flour costs, when baked into bread, $13. It's outrageous. We'll soon all be bankrupt. The bakers must be made to feel the power of the law. You should have been at the meeting." "I couldn't come, I was too busy," said the calm-faced woman. "Busy on a club day? What on earth at?" "Baking bread," said the calm-faced woman. Grandmother Didn't Know A good cook? Certainly, but she couldn't have cooked the Indian Corn, rolled and toasted it to a crisp brown, wafer thin flakes, as we do in preparing Post Toasties They are delicious with cream or milk, or sprinkled over fresh fruit or berries. From the first cooking of the corn until the sealed, airtight packages of delicately toasted flakes are delivered to you, Post Toasties are never touched by human hand. Grandmother would have liked Post Toasties —sold by Grocers. --- IN THE OPEN ROKD All winter long Sydney Blair ‘ved 4n a 6x10 room in a poor loaging house. He did light housekeeping, so light at times that heat, illumination ‘and even food were under eclipse for days. It was then that he huddled close under the bedclothes daytimes, stealing out nights te gather up a few morsels in his unique way. He was a poet at soul. As to his ef- fusionc, only thrice in his life had he received real pay from a real publica- tion. This had not broken him of the Peetic habit, however. He watched the birthdays of people, great festal events, all kinds of occasions where an Acrostic, a tribute, an eulogium would atch the fancy of the rich and bring 4n a few dollars for the effort. The present winter had been a hard ‘one for poor Blair, however. He was obliged to write advertising doggerel, and this discouraged him. “Oh, for the time to hit the road!” he pined, and with the first venture some robin reported in the city parks the tramp poet began his annual hegira to the shrines of nature. Once a year his soul swelled. It ‘was when, us now, he turned his face from the turmoil, dust and hollow ex citement of the city. It seemed to him as though he was passing into a new life, as the sprowting grass of the coun: tryside, the budding moss flowers, the LE Pa SCSBE Y eR TES (s sp) * RONG fc BB co Mi Ao RG Py GEES Gy - | 24 ( 5 = iS ‘ . <= @ ee et a \ ‘Was Aroused by a Shrill Echoing Cry. nesting birds, the warbling brooks unt: ted in a welcome to the passing way- farer who loved them. Outside of a little bundle, usually strung across his stout walking stick and containing a change of linen and a blanket, Sydney Blair had one other possession of some utility and value. This was a piano tuning key. He was @ natural musician, but the itinerant minstrel, caroling forth old-time lays, was a thing of the past. There were many pianos in hamlets and farm houses. From the profession of poet in winter our good friend enacted a broad transition to piano tuner at sum: mertide. He was a dreamer, his physical ‘wants limited. ‘The heather formed a sweet-scented mattress, it was delight to watch the stars across the curtain of night twinkle tired eyelids close. Sydney simply strolled, talking to the flowers, communing with free, grand soul thoughts, composing poetry he could not sell, It was a tender solace, however, to work over these and at night repeat them to himself. Once,. at dusk-tide, Sydney, resting under a great gnarled oak, was aroused by a shrill echoing cry. Ho ran to wards the highway to observe three rough-seeming fellows disappearing in the dim distance. He stumbled over a prostrate form. It was that of an old man, His face was bedabbled with ‘blood. There was a cruel gash at one side of his head. A button hole of his vest was torn apart, showing where his wateh chain had been torn from place. A pocket was turned inside out Evidently footpads had robbed this victin. Sydney ran to a brook near at hand He soaked a handkerchief in water and did all he could to remove the ‘traces of violence from the insensible man. Finally the latter sat up. He put his hand confusedly to his head, his eyes were somewhat glazed and unsteady as they surveyet Sydney, “See, here,” spoke the latter, “wha ‘are you and what has happened?” ‘The victim seemed to make a des perate effort to concentrate his tnoughts, failed and shook his head ‘Dienkly. - “H'm!" soliloquized Sydney, “ a bad blow. See here, old friend, 1 must get you to a doctor.” . ‘The victim placidly allowed Sydney to lead him to a nearby village. There = —— $$ $$$ & doctor looked him over, plastered up the wound on his head and ques- toned him as to his home. “I don't know,” was the monotonous Fesponse. Sydney had tuned a piano that day. He secured lodging for his charge. He himself slept in a haymow. With the morning the same cloud of haziness hung over the victim. All that morn- ing Sydney led him about the vicinity. No one knew him. He was an utter stranger to the district. “See here,” said Sydney, “what am I going to do with you? What do yuu want to do?” “Go with you,” replied the old mau, simply. “I like the sunlight, the woods, the birds. I feel rested, I feel happy, only—I forget what was.” “All right, I make you my partner,” said Sydney. The old man grew quite blithe and talkative during the next day of idle wandering. He was like a pleased child. Some injury to his brain, it was apparent, had blotted out the past Sydney observed that he was an edu- cated man, his attire evidenced re- spectability. There was not a mark on his clothing, not a scrap of paper found to give the slightest clue as to his identity. Every morning and evening, how- ever, the old man took from an inner pocket an exquisite little medallion. It | held the portrait of a beautiful girl. He would gaze at it raptly for nearly jan hour. And then Sydney got to sharing his mute adoration. ‘The fatr wistful features came to form an ideal in his mind. Like nomads those two passed along the flower-fringed by-ways. Each day the old man seemed to grow happier and more contented with the careless, Joyous lite. ‘One evening, while seated in a little wayside inn, Sydney struck up an ac- quaintance with a physician. He told the story of the old man. The doctor became interested. He examined the patient. “There 1s a depression of the skull,” he said. “This man’s memory can be | restored by a surgical operation.” It would cost fifty dollars, the doc: tor said, for he would have to call in a surgeon, Sydney made arrangements for the housing of his friend in the vil |Jage. Then he started out tuning pl anos. It was a glad, proud day for his good, kind heart when he returned with the money, to pay for the operation. The doctor had predicted rightly. The operation concluded, the old man rose up, a new intelligence in his face He listened to the story of the doctor. His eyes were filled with gratitude and love as he was told of the noble sacri fice of the tramp poet. “Bring me a check book,” he said, “and a pen.” His apparent whim was gratified. He scratched out “Bank of Milton,” substi tuted “State Bank of Wareham,’ ‘| signed a name—Henry Morse—and | handed the check to Sydney, filled tz for five thousand dollars. Then came his story of visiting some land at a distance, of being assaultec and robbed. Sydney must accompany |him home. A sorrowing daughter |who mourned him as dead, greeted him at his own palatial home. She | was the original of the cherished por | trait, Eva Morse. | When all the beautiful story of the | soulful fidelity of Sydney Blair to s | stranger was told, gratitude shone in those lovely eyes. | And then love, and in the golden | days that passed by as a joyful dream the poet knew no more of loneliness || and deprivation, and neglect. ’ (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Our Handicap. W. H. Bilis, a naval architect of the Scotch firm that built the Aquita nia, was praising America. “I have come to admire America tremendously since my arrival in New York,” he said. “You are a wonderful country. But, then, you have so many natural advantages, haven't you? “The River Clyde, with us, has been brought up to its present draught by means of dredging, and so the Scotch are very proud of it. “Well, a party of American sight seers turned up their noses at the Clyde.one day. > “Call this a river?’ they said. ‘Why it's a mere ditch in comparison with our Mississippi, or St. Lawrence, or Delaware.’ “‘Aweel, mon,’ said a Scotch by stander, ‘you've got Providence tc thank for your rivers, but we made this oursel’s.’” Dog Refuses to Aid Law.

The golden text {s a great summary | of the meaning and the essential pur- | Pose of all of our Lord's activities. | Each lesson is an illustration of this | simple promise. In them we discover | chiefly our Lord in his work of pre- | paring his disciples to share with him in this work. | Lesson I. ‘The observation of man's | attempt to get the best seats with the | consequent abasement, calls forth the | parable of the great supper. Therein | We are shown man's enmity againet | God as revealed by his contemptuous jtreatment of God's overtures of | grace. ‘The rebuke and the parable reveal God's willingness and man’s re- fusal, In all this our Lord was seek- ing these men, The Perfect Son. Lesson I!. This is the Baster les- fon and is aside from our series. In it we are shown that Jesus Christ is | himself the chief subject of prophecy. | Lesson 111. The one central truth | here taught Is that to be his dis- | ciple we must give up all and make | him supreme, In our affections, aims, | ideals, yea, make him the sole pos- |sessor of time, talent and posses- | sions, | Lessons Iv and V. It is impos: | sible to separate these three para- | bles. ‘They are a whole in that each | tells of something lost, sought and |found. The Son, the Holy Spirit and the Father are each seeking. Our | Lord was himself the perfect Son of the Father; who never got into the | far country, or out of adjustment with | his Father,” He is different also from |the churlish brother in that he re- joices to “bring back his own.” ‘These | two lessons particularly illustrate bis work of saving. | Lesson VI. Beginning with this les- son, our Lord seems to be sifting the multitude, and at the same time bo preparing his disciples against their work of co-operating with him in his work of seeking and saving. The truo motive in service is in the use of all We possess for him whom we love. Lesson Vil. As the last lesson had to do with stewardship, this has to do with service, This present life is but the vestibule of the eternal one, If we 80 live this life as to develop it and to rule its desires, we shall find abundant gratification in this / world beyond towards which we are | traveling so rapidly, | Lesson Vill, Jesus ts still instruct. ing his disciples. Offenses must, or ' rather, will come, but forgiveness is ' the divine attribute, not because #e is / indebted to us nor that he is mawk- ishly, sentimentally, sympathetic. - Nothing we do ever places him under - any obligations to us, When we have done all we will exclaim: “We havo done that which was our duty to do.” ‘This does not set aside the joy which is ours and his when one of the lost | 4s “found.” | Lesson 1X. Not only did Jesus sift || the multitude and reveal the need of helpers, at the same time setting be- / fore them the terms of discipleship, Dut he also emphasizes the thought of | gratitude on the part of those helped and of those his servants who are Judged worthy to help him. | Lesson X. The kingdom which our Lord came to set up upon earth is to begin within us and it is not to con- ‘sist of eating and drinking but of | Tighteousness and truth. ‘The visible , kingdom which our Lord came to set Up upon earth is to begin within us, and it is not to consist of eating and | drinking, but of righteousness and truth. | Lesson x1. ‘The picture of Zacchae- | us is that of a man restored to his | Tight relationship with God; the out- ward evidence being his acts of re pentance and restoration, This lesson perfectly reveals the essential work |of Christ, and that to which he is calling his disciples. Zacchaeus did / not seek Christ, but Christ came to | seek and save Zacchaeus and ajl like him who are lost. ¥ | Lesson XII, ‘The great refusal re- veals that the condition of being | saved or being lost rests with the in- || dividual soul.

Hospital Dies. The evil effects or race prejudice were brought prominently to public view in Pottsville, Pa., on May 20, when an effort was made to have George Baxter, who had been sevely wounded in a mine explosion, admitted to the Pottsville hospital. Martin Dolan, a contract miner for whom George Baxter worked, obtained a mandamus which would have admitted the wounded man to the hospital, but while the authorities of the institution were wrangling in court over Baxter's admission he died. One of Baxter's eyes had been blown out while at work and the other seriously injured, which required a speedy operation. Mr. Dolan offered to pay all the extra expense of a private ward but the hospital officials refused to permit Baxter's entrance until the board of managers consented, although a section in the charter of the hospital provides that no distinction shall be made in the treatment of patients on account of color or nationality.
