A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING A Happy Prosperous New Year to All! One Million Five Hundred Thousand Bptists Denied Representation In Com. Meeting Vol. 3, No 9 A Happ One Million Five Denied Nashville, Tenn., Dec., 31-14. The Star, Tulsa, Okla. Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 31—(Special) About one million five hundred thousand and Baptists were denied representation and voice in Baptist commission meeting in session here Tuesday. Usurpation of office unfair, ruling failure to recognize cognisance institutional rights are charged to those who dominated meeting. Claim here is made that presiding officer took charge who is not a vice president nor member of commission; that prearranged plans, results of secret caucus, shut out from vote and voice three fifths of Negro Baptists of United States. Report is that only vice presidents from five states which make up the commission were present and that the meeting proceeded without the minutes of the Philadelphia meeting of convention. Secretary missed train and did not arrive until within an hour of adjournment, looks like more trouble ahead, protests regarded throughout the day. NASHVILLE GLOBE. Johnson Lost in Fourth Round Johnson Lost in Fourth Round A real heavy weight box contest was pulled off in the East End Xmas day which offered no little amusement for the sporting class. The bout lasted only four rounds, but was fast and vicious while it lasted. The principals were Shakespeare Johnson the plumber and O. W. Gurley. Both men were in fine condition—full of the Christmas spirit and joined in the millee like old timers at the game. Gurley weighed in at 231 while his opponent weighed only 189. At the opening of the first round the men spired for an opening and both landed effective blows. In the second round a general mix up ensured from which Johnson emerged with a mashed nose, bleeding profusely. Gurley had drawn first blood but he was also considerably battered. In the third round both men landed short arm jabs, upper cuts, under cuts, left hooks, right swings and nearly every other blow known in the fighting game, but no serious damage was done. After a fast mix up in the fourth round the fight was stopped and Gurley declared the winner. Gurley admits, however, that he had a hard go of it and was willing to stop while stopping was good.

Hartford St. The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1915 Reduced Rates to S. S. Cong. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 29.—Reduced rates have been announced for the Sunday-School Congress at Birmingham, Ala., which is to meet June 9th to 14th. This is the information that was given out this week from the Sunday-School Congress headquarters. The early announcement of the rates, declares the Secretary, is a guaranty that ten thousand Sunday-schools will begin now to provide for their delegates. When asked what the exact rate would be, the Secretary stated that the rate will be based upon the four cent per mile proposition for the round trip and that any one could be able to ascertain the cost from their respective towns by getting the distance from Birmingham to their town and multiply it by four. The railroad tariff authorizing the rate is to be published at an early date. As soon as it is published it will be circulated very extensively. The amount of the round trip fare from the leading cities in the United States will be shown. Another encouraging feature about the early announcement of the rate this year, declares the Secretary, is the guaranty of a number of special trains. Nashville has been made, so it is learned, a stop-over point, so that all persons living beyond Nashville going through to Birmingham may stop, going or returning from the Congress. As soon as this was known, the Nashville people began to make preparations for their entertainment. Bet on Johnson Won His Funeral LITTLE ROCK, Dec. 29.—The body of Walter Campbell, a Negro barber, was borne to the grave today encased in the most costly casket that the largeest local undertaking establishment contained. The hearse was followed by a dozen carriages provided by the same undertakers. Just before the Jeffries-Johnson fight, Campbell made a bet with the white undertaker. If Jeffries won, Campbell was to shave the undertaker free as long as they both lived. If Johnson won, the undertaker was to provide an elaborate funeral for Campbell. Today the undertaker conscientiously carried out the terms of the bet. Sub P. O. Is Open For Bus. The postal business of Tulsa has grown to such demensions that the Post Office Department has deemed it necessary to put in another suboffice, making two post offices to assist the main office in handling the postal business. The new office is located in the Economy Drug Store 108 N. Greenwood and Dr. A. F. Bryant, proprietor of the Drug Store is the new Sub-Postmaster. The colored people are well pleased with the new post office which will be very convenient for them. Texas Editor Endorses The Star The Inquirer observes this week that T. J. Elliott, President of the Oklahoma State Business League who had charge of the arrangement committee that entertained the National Negro Business League at Muskogee, Okla., during the month of August and who was caught red handed by the Tulsa Star with graft, has attempted to vindicate his hellish desire by charging a libel against editor A. J. Smitherman for exposing the graft. The people of that state who are against the grafters stood with editor Smitherman and had him released immediately. Elliott realized that this action could only serve to humiliate the editor and for no other purpose. The Inquirer indoles the actions of Mr. Smitherman in the broadest terms and as he has already stated fight the grafters to the finish if you have to fight them behind iron bars. It has ever been the policy of The Inquirer to fight, that justice may be vindicated and the people's will observed, for the will of the people's is the will of God. It is the duty of the Negro editors who have allied themselves with the National Negro Press Association to take a united stand against the graft habit regardless of cost. The sooner the grafter's are out of commission the sooner the Negro race will be able to redeem itself.—San Antonio Inquirer. Mrs. Cheatham Leaves Hubby Mrs. James Cheatham, wife of the cafe man who attempted to leave her husband week before last, it is said, to go to another man in Kansas City, but failed because her husband found it out before she had left, succeeded in eluding her husband Xmas eve with her two children for an unknown destination. Her husband sold out his cafe Saturday and left the city in an effort to locate his wife and children, saying he wished only to get possession of his two little girls. Deputy sheriff Barney Cleaver was engaged in the case and went to Kansas City, learning there that a woman filling the description of Mrs. Cheatham had been seen there in company with a man who was probably the man she went to meet, but had left for Leavenworth. It is thought the couple will be found in a few days and landed in jail. When the Star published the attempted eloment of Mrs. Cheatham as told by her husband a number of people abused the editor and the paper because they seemed to think it was a false report, but subsequent events seems to prove the whole story true. The Star may always be relied on for reliable news. Tulsa Girl Died With Pneumonia Miss Rebecca Sanders, niece of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wells of this city, died at the Wells home 613 E.

Elliott Received Ptaining Dr. Boo If reports are true (and we do not question this) T. J. Elliott insisted on having Dr. Washington stop at his home during the Business League meeting at Muskogee as his special honored guest, and rode him about the city in his lately acquired automobile, all of which was airright. But after the League meeting he made the local League it is said, pay him nearly $50 for entertaining his honored guest. According to these figures the local League had to pay Mr. Elliott $16.66 approximately, a day for keeping Dr. Washington the 3 days of the National League.

They declared that they went to the scene of the burning as sightseers and did not recognize any of the men who had the Negro in charge. It was brought out that only about fifteen men took an active part in the affair. They were described as "rough riders" with wide brimmed hats whom no one knew. An effort to identify the woman who rode in the death car failed. One woman was placed on the stand, but she denied that she was in the car or was present at the burning of Lewis. Member of the Police Jury Was Also in Crowd who Hung Negroes. SHREVEPORT, La., Dec. 30.—Testifying at the lynching investigation conducted by State's Attorney General Pleasant here today, Coroner Herold gave the names of two men, one a well known physician and the other a member of the police jury, who the coroner said returned with the crowd out of the woods where the two Negroes, Durden and Lewis, were lynched near Sylvester on December 2. The coroner testified that Sheriff Flournoy was on the scene at the time and that the crowd reported that Durden and Lewis had "escaped." It developed that they had been hanged. Coroner Herold testified that he understood that the two deputy sheriffs who had the Negroes in custody were in the crowd when it entered the woods ostensibly to search for the money the Negroes had stolen. Another witness testified that a member of the grand jury which is investigating the lynching witnessed the attack on the jail on the night of December 11, when Watkins Lewis was taken away by a mob and burned. Rev. Netherland preached a sermon at the Paradise Baptist church Wednesday night. ay For Enter- ker T. Washington kept Dr. Washington for $5.00 a day, and if he had stayed there a week the total bill would not have been more than $30.00. How's this for graft? The Star has nothing at stake more than a desire to protect the common people and their interest. It was certainly wrong for Mr. Elliott to charge the local League at Muskogee $50.00 or any other sum of money for enertaining Dr. Washington when there are so many other people in Muskogee who would have gladly kept him for nothing. Certainly for a great deal less than $50.00. Funeral Directors and Embalmers We carry our own our high co WM. RAG Day Phone 323 N.

OKLA., STAR Phone 5085 BRITISH ATTACK GERMAN POST DARING RAID MADE BY BRITISH AIRMEN ON GERMAN NAVAL BASE. THE GENERAL OUTCOME DISPUTED Full Extent of Damage Not Known But According to German Report of the Affair Raid Was Fruitless. London.—Assisted by light cruisers, destroyers and submarines, seven British naval airmen, piloting seaplanes, made a daring attack Christmas day on the German naval base at Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe. Six of the airmen returned safely, but the seventh, Commander Hewlett, it is feared, has been lost, as his machine was found wrecked off Heligoland. What damage was done by the bombs thrown by the attacking party could not be ascertained, but the German report of the affair says that the raid was fruitless. The enterprise of the British navy in thus attempting to "dig out" the German fleet brought about a battle between the most modern of war machines. The British squadron including the light cruisers Arethusa and Undaunted which have been engaged in previous exploits on the German coast, was attacked by Zeppelins, seaplanes and submarines. By rapid maneuvering the ships were able to avoid the submarines while the Zeppelins found the fire of the cruisers too dangerous for them to keep up the fight. The German seaplanes dropped bombs which, according to the British account, fell harmlessly into the sea. The Germans, however, claim to have hit two destroyers and their convoy, the latter being set afire. The British ships remained in the vicinity three hours without being attacked by any surface warships and picked up three of the seven pilots and their planes. Three others were picked up by submarines, but their machines were sunk. Commander Hewlett, it is thought, was drowned. A French naval airman, on Christmas eve, dropped twelve bombs on an airship shed in Brussels, but it was impossible to ascertain definitely, the amount of damage done. It was learned that the German airman who visited England on Christmas day dropped a bomb near Worcester, which is only twenty-seven miles southeast of St. Pauls, London, and seven miles from Gravesend. The bomb fell in the roadway. Filipino Uprising Not Serious. Washington.—Details of native uprisings in the Philippines beginning Christmas eve were given in a cablegram received from Governor General Harrison at the war department and made public by Assistant Secretary Breckenridge. The report minimized the extent of the trouble, but stated that small bodies of Filipinos had assembled in Manila and Novatas Christmas eve and at La Guna De Bay and attempted to make trouble. As a result, forty men were arrested and one man was shot by a policeman. Governor General Harrison reported the disorders had been suppressed; that everything was quiet and efforts were made to arrest the leaders, the chief of whom he said was believed to be a man under sentence of imprisonment for homicide. JAPAN EMPEROR DISSOLVES DIET Army Measure Rejected By House and Session Is Closed at Once. Tokio.—Owing to the rejection of the measure for an increase in the army and emperor has dissolved the imperial diet, thus upholding the program of the ministry for military development. When the decision was announced there was a great commotion in the house and cheers from the government side. The army measure was rejected by a majority of 65, but the house approved the naval increase by a majority of seven. The rescript suspends the house of peers pending the election which probably will be held in March. The closing session of the house was dramatic. The debate extended all through the day and into the night. The house was unable to compose its differences and shortly before 10 o'clock, it was announced that Emperor Yoshihito had exercised his royal prerogative, dissolving the diet. J. B. SIR HENRY HOWARD Sir Henry Howard was recently appointed envoy from England to the Holy See at Rome. He was formerly minister to The Hague and is well known in the United States. While he was an attache of the British legation in Washington nearly fifty years ago he married Miss Cecilia Riggs, daughter of the late George W. Riggs of that city. She died in 1907. NAVAL RESERVES CLASS PROPOSED Daniels Would Keep Discharged Men Organized for Service. Washington.—Creation of a naval reserve from among honorably discharged enlisted men of the navy is proposed in a draft of an amendment to the forthcoming naval appropriation bill which Secretary Daniels has sent to the senate and house naval committees with a strong recommendation that it be adopted. "If this amendment be enacted into law," said Mr. Daniels in his statement, "two most important and necessary means for promoting the efficiency of the navy will be provided. First it will make available a reserve organization of trained men to supplement the regular establishment in time of war. Second, it will increase the efficiency of the regular navy by offering a substantial inducement to men to continue in the service for periods of twelve, sixteen and twenty years. "The principal features of the bill are as follows: "Men who have had twenty years of honorable service may upon their own application be transferred to the reserve on half pay; those of sixteen years' service with one-third pay; those of twelve years' service with one-fourth pay; those of eight years' service with $60 per annum; those of four years' service with $30 per annum, and those now in civil life who have been honorably discharged within eight years may enlist in the naval reserve and receive pay at the rate of $12 per annum and be furnished with uniform clothing outfit. Provision is made for periodical assembling for muster, inspection and drill." 40,000 Gifts Distributed. San Francisco—Forty thousand bags of nuts, raisins, candies and fruit were distributed to the children of this city Christmas day at the foot of a towering Christmas tree in the grounds of the Panama-Pacific International exposition. CAPTURE LODZ TURNED CAMPAIGN German General Declares Loss of City Caused General Retreat. Lodz.—The capture of Lodz, according to declaration, made by General von Hindenburg, the German commander to a correspondent of the Associated Press, was the turning point of the campaign in Poland. The Russian lines in northern Poland rested on this city, for the possession of which there occurred the biterest struggle of the entire war on this front. After the Russians were forced to evacuate the town, a general Russian retirement toward Warsaw became necessary. Under the guidance of Major von Hollleben, a cousin of the late Baron von Holleben, who was at one time German ambassador to the United States, the Associated Press correspondent visited some of the battlefields near Lodz. The Austro-German attack was made largely from the north and northwest. They drove their columns into the Russians in the form of a three-tined pitchfork. BILIOUS, HEADACHY, SICK "CASCARETS" Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while you sleep. Sick headache, billiousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv. Time for Arbitration. "Nigger," warned one, "don't mess wid me, 'cause when you do you sure is flirtin' wid d' hearse."

"If you mess wid me, nigger," continued the other, "I'll jess make one pass and dere'll be a man pattin' yo' in de face wid a spade tomorrow mornin.'"—National Monthly. FALLING HAIR MEANS DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE Save Your Hair! Get a 25 Cent Bottle of Danderine Right Now—Also Stops Itching Scalp. Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf. There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of its luster, its strength and its very life; eventually producing a feverishness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die—then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight—now—any time—will surely save your hair. Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appearance of abundance; an incomparable gloss and softness, but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks' use, when you will actually see a lot of fine, downy hair—new hair—growing all over the scalp.

STORY OF YEAR MARKED BY SENSATIONAL EVENTS Most Momentous Twelve Months of Modern Times Reviewed-Great European War, Mexican Troubles and Other World Happenings. --- The year of our Lord, 1914, is unique. It does not fall into the procession of the years with the accustomed swing. That which has transformed it into a horror without precedent in breath and malignity is war—war which is devastating the old world and fixing its sinister impress on the new. It came swiftly and with a terrific clash. On July 23, the Austro-Hungarian government sent an ultimatum to Servia demanding the punishment of the persons concerned in the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and instant suppression of all anti-Austrian propaganda in that country and giving 48 hours for consideration. The Belgrade government agreed to the Austrian demand with a single exception—that which would have empowered Austrian officials to take a leading part in the punishment of the murderers, and asked for further information on this point. The reply was not satisfactory to Austria. She promptly declared war on Servia and began to move troops toward the border. The Serbs began active mobilization and removed their capital from Belgrade to Nish, in the interior. Instantly the eyes of all the civilized world were turned toward Russia. The day after Austria declared war on Servia, the Russian minister of foreign affairs warned the German ambassador that if Servia were invaded Russia would not be able to remain neutral. Great Britain proposed to Germany, France and Italy that a council should be arranged to mediate between the two disputants. Germany declined to become party to such an arrangement. The czar urged the kaiser to use his influence with the Austrian emperor. According to the German account, the kaiser complied with this request to the best of his ability. When he discovered, however, that mobilization was going on actively in Russia, he wired the czar that his course was making mediation impossible. Two days later the kaiser proclaimed martial law throughout the country and sent a twenty-four hour ultimatum to the Muscovite government demanding an instant abandonment of all war preparation. At the expiration of this ultimatum, August 1, the kaiser gave the order for mobilization to begin and on the same day Count von Pourtales, the German ambassador at St. Petersburg, started homeward. Meanwhile the mobilization of the entire French army was begun. Martial law was declared and, August 4, the German ambassador announced that the war between his country and France was on. England had asked both France and Germany, if they would respect the neutrality of Belgium in case of war. The former had answered in the affirmative. The latter made no direct reply, and Belgian mobilization began at once. On August 2 a German army marched into the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, whose neutrality had been guaranteed by the powers in 1867. A day later, the German government sent a note to the Belgian government demanding passage for German troops through the country and promising ample compensation for all damage at the close of the war. This was in the form of an ultimatum and specified twelve hours as a time limit. The reply was that Belgium would defend her neutrality by force of arms if it were necessary. Great Britain Declares War. At this move of Germany, Great Britain began active mobilization of her forces and all the naval reserves were called out at once. War against Germany was declared on August 4, a war budget of $300,000,000 was voted, and within a few days a British force of 120,000 men had been landed in France. On August 6 Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia and her troops crossed the Russian border. The Montenegrins joined the Serbs against Austria and Bosnia was invaded. On August 10 the French government proclaimed war against Austria, and two days later England followed her example. Japan announced her intention to side with her British ally. Scandinavia and Holland asserted their neutrality, but at once put all their military resources into requisition for defense. Portugal announced her intention to fulfill her treaty obligations with Great Britain, but she did not become a belligerent at once. Spain professed absolute neutrality, but began immediate mobilization of all her forces. Turkey declared for neutrality, but mobilized her army and began to advance toward Bulgaria. It was not until the last of October that she made her initial demonstration in the Black sea against Russia. Greece, as well as the minor Balkan states, was in a condition of armed expectancy. As for Italy, sworn ally of Germany and Austria in the so-called Drelbund, she took advantage of the fact that her partners were not engaged in a defensive war to remain neutral despite strong pressure from Berlin and Vienna. At the outbreak of hostilities, a censorship which is the most effective ever known was established in all the warring countries. About all that was actually revealed was that the kaiser's forces made their way through Belgium with a tremendous loss of men and property, the Belgian defenders of the little kingdom exhibiting a power of resistance and a stubbornness which amazed the world. The forts at Liege halted the German legions for a week. But the odds were too great. By the end of August the terrible German war machine had literally mowed its way through Belgium, and by September 4 had reached a point within twenty miles of Paris, which was in action and therefore since the seat of government was removed to Bordeaux. Suddenly, on September 4, the German army of the right turned eastward. Since that time, the kaiser's forces have been retiring slowly, fighting with a persistence never before recorded in the history of modern war. Russian mobilization by the middle of August was practically completed and the czar's armies were in rapid advance toward the German and Austrian frontiers. Great forces opposed the Slavic advance and many bloody contests fol- lowed in rapid succession, until late in the autumn, the greatly outnumbered Teutonic allies began to show signs of declining offensive ability. The Japanese confined their military operations entirely to Asia. They immediately proceeded against the German forts at Kiauchau, China, which were taken by assault after ten weeks' attack. Russian and Turkish fleets have been engaged in the Black sea, there has been fighting on a small scale in Egypt, and several German forces have been engaged in several attacks upon German colonists. Indian troops have been engaged with Turkish forces in an effort to keep the Suez Canal open. From the first, there has been a practical deadlock in the naval situation. The British fleet sailed under sealed orders August 4, and a big naval battle in the North sea was confidently expected by the waiting world. It soon became apparent that Great Britain's purpose was to deal a fatal blow at German commerce, safeguard that of Belgium, France and its own and render the enemy's fleet inoperative by holding it in the Baltic. A week later, the port authorities of New York were notified that the Atlantic lines were unobstructed, and a few days afterward the Pacific lines were pronounced "open and safe." Sixty British war vessels guarded the exit of the Kiel Canal and prevented the thirty German battleships anchored there from coming out. Within a few days, more than thirty of the great German ocean liners were interned in neutral waters and a number of German merchant ships were captured or destroyed. By the middle of November more than four hundred war vessels and merchantmen on all sides had been captured or interned in neutral ports. The Emden in the Pacific and the Karlsruhe in the South Atlantic, two German raiders, preyed successfully upon allied and neutral commerce until the former was put out of action. During the past three months the Germans have destroyed a number of British cruisers by means of torpedoes. In an action off the coast of Chile, a squadron of five German warships sank the Monmouth and Good Hope with all on board. On October 27—although it was not known to the public for a fortnight afterward—the British super-dreadnaught Audaculous was sunk by a mine off the coast of Ireland. Shortly afterward, the British admiralty declared the North sea a closed military area. On December 8 the German cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneisau, Lelpzig and Nuerberg, under Admiral von Spee, were sunk by a British squadron under Vice-Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee, off the Falkland islands. The German cruiser Dresden escaped, badly damaged. December 16 a German fleet bombarded the English coast towns of Hartlepool, Whitby and Scarborough, killing 150 and wounding 300 civilians and causing much property damage. Three British merchant vessels were sunk by mines laid by the bombarding fleet. At the close of the year operations in the west seem practically at a standstill. December 17 the Germans reported a victory in Poland. As a result of the immediate paralysis in the financial world due to the sudden embroilment of the European nations, Americans abroad were subjected to great inconvenience and not a little actual hardship. Much relief was afforded the Belgian sufferers and large sums of money for the purpose were raised all over the country. The American Red Cross sent the relief ship Red Cross to European waters, with a full equipment of physicians nurses and supplies, on September 12. Chaotic Conditions in Mexico. Early in the year foreign nations began to be critical of the administration's "hands-off" Mexican policy and to insist that the job of pacifying Mexico belonged logically to the United States. Victoriano Huerta had held the provisional presidency for a year and boasted in his cups that he would hold his office longer than President Wilson would remain in the White House. Meanwhile the bandit chief Pancho Villa was steadily gaining ground in the north. The fiercest battle of the revolution, which was fought for almost two weeks, ended in victory for the rebel forces. There was an appalling loss of life in this long continued fight, and more than four thousand fugitives crossed the Rio Grande and took refuge in American territory. Here they were cared for by the United States authorities. On February 3 President Wilson revoked an order by his predecessor in office to put a stop to the shipment of arms and ammunition into Mexico by citizens of the United States. On April 14, President Wilson instructed Secretary Daniels to assemble an imposing naval force at Tampico, on the Mexican coast. This was due to the refusal of the Mexican president and his military aids to salute the American flag as an essential feature of an apology for an unwarranted arrest and imprisonment of several American bluejackets who had landed on Mexican soil to obtain a supply of gasoline. Although the episode was the result of a misunderstanding in which all the parties concerned shared about equally, it was manifest that Huerta was in no mood to comply with any request of the Washington authorities, however politely ar-3 even delicately made. He refused to order the salute, and the naval demonstration followed. Congress passed a resolution sustaining the president in the position which he had taken. On April 21 Admiral Fletcher seized the custom house at Vera Cruz. The Mexicans resisted the occupation of the custom house and the result was a fight, in which 16 Americans were killed and 71 wounded. General Maas, in command of the garrison, withdrew and left the Americans in possession. Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American representative, was given his passports and requested to leave the country. Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston, commander of the American forces at Vera Cruz, was ready to enter on a vigorous campaign. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR Before hostilities were carried further the diplomatic representatives at Washington of Argentina, Brazil and Chile sent in to the office of the department of state a formal tender of their services as mediators. President Wilson accepted the offer and both Huerta and Carranza accepted the proffered mediation. The mediatory conference was held at Niagara Falls, Canada, and opened on May 20. On June 12 the conference had agreed upon a plan accepted both by President Wilson and Huerta. Then a deadlock arose over the choice for president—the American delegates declined to accept the name of any nonconstitutionalist. Meanwhile, the constitutionalists were making unmistakable advance toward the capital. Their success was so pronounced that it was evident they would soon be in control of the government. On July 1 the conference came to an end without definite result, and four days later Huerta was re-elected president by his partisans. On July 15 the dictator resigned the presidency and took passage for Europe, leaving the executive authority in the hands of a prominent citizen, Francisco Carbajal. The new president and Carranza could not agree upon the surrender of the government to the victorious constitutionalist army, and on August 10 Carbajal resigned and the chamber of deputies dissolved. The army entered the City of Mexico without opposition. Venustiano Carranza immediately took upon himself the office of president, although he soon announced his purpose of turning over the executive function to a provisional substitute and himself becoming a candidate. On September 23 Villa declared war upon the provisional president. The constitutionalists held a meeting at Mexico City on October 4 and refused to accept their chief's resignation. At a convention of the party held at Aguas Calientes on October 14, Carranza again presented his resignation and a few days later Villa promised to support a provisional president named by the convention. At that, Gen. Euulio Gutierrez was appointed by the convention, but Carranza refused to recognize him. The new president appointed Villa commander in chief of the government forces and ordered him to proceed at once against Carranza. As Villa and his men neared the capital, Carranza and his soldiers withdrew. On November 23 the American forces were withdrawn from Vera Cruz and soon afterward Carranza and his followers took possession of the seaport. Villa and Zapata united in support of the Gutierrez interests, and the prospect of peace in the immediate future is far from encouraging. On December 15, 3, 1000 United States troops were sent to Naco to stop continued firing by the Mexican factions into United States territory. The struggle between the combatants in northern Mexico continues unabated. Longest Congressional Session. The first regular session of the Sixty-third congress was the longest since that great law-making body came into existence—from December 1, 1913, to October 24, 1914. After the holiday recess both branches were addressed by President Wilson upon the regulation of corporations. In his address the president recommended the formation of a trade commission, the doing away with interlocking directorates and holding companies, and an antitrust law. On January 24 the senate passed a bill authorizing the government to construct a railroad in Alaska. On February 18 the house passed the bill. During this month, also, the administration introduced a measure into both houses to establish a rural credit system by means of co-operative banks. On February 9 a bill was introduced into both branches which provided that the government might mine or lease on a royalty basis certain coal lands in Alaska. On March 5 the president delivered another address to congress in the house chamber, in which he urged the repeal of the provision in the Panama Canal act of August, 1912, exempting vessels engaged in coastwise trade from the payment of tolls. With a senate amendment to the effect that the United States relinquished no rights under treaties with Great Britain and with Panama, the tolls repeal bill became law. On April 20 the president again addressed congress, giving the facts in the Tampaico affair and asking authority to use force in compelling a settlement. Both houses passed the necessary measures without delay. On June 5 the three presidents joined in the presidency and trust legislation—the creation of a trade commission, the Clayton bill, and the railroad capitalization bill—were passed, but it was not until August that the senate adopted the measure creating a federal trade commission. The Clayton anustrill bill did not become law until October. August 4 both houses unanimously adopted an amendment to the federal reserve act, by which the secretary of the treasury was given power to issue additional bank currency in such amount as would be necessary to protect the business situation and avoid financial panic. On September 4 the president once more addressed congress, pointing out the need of raising additional revenue to meet the deficit caused by the decline in imports due to the European war. The closing days of the congress passed in an active effort conducted by members from the cotton-growing states to obtain legislation for the retail of the growers of the staple. On October 24 the first regular session of the Sixty-third congress came to an end. American Government and Politics. American Government and Politics. On January 2 Secretary McAdoo and Secretary Houston began a series of hearings to determine where the new federal reserve banks were to be established. The federal reserve bank system went into effect November 16. On January 10 the Washington authorities and the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad officials came to an agreement by which the railroad relinquished its trolley lines, its control of the Boston and Malne, and most of its steamship lines, in order to allow the railroad to antitrust law. President Wilson nominated John Skelton Williams, then assistant secretary of the treasury, to be comproller of the currency and ex-officio member of the new federal reserve board. On January 27 the president signed an important order which established a permanent government in the Panama Canal Zone, to go into effect April 1. A few days later he nominated Col. George W. Goethals to be first governor. On February 11 the government brought suit at Salt Lake City to compel the Southern Pacific railroad to relinquish its control of the Central Pacific. In March government proceedings were begun against two railroads: The interstate commerce commission accused the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road with overstatement of income and other financial irregularities, and suit was brought against the Lehigh Valley road under the charge that it was monopolizing the anthracite coal industry through subsidiary companies. In this month, also, the department of justice announced that a plan for breaking up the transportation monopoly practiced by the New York, New Haven and Hartford had been arranged satisfactory to all parties. Early in April the government met with defeat in its attempt to prove that the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western road and the coal-mining company of the same name existed as an illegal and monopolistic combination. On April 2 the committee appointed for the purpose announced that it had selected twelve federal reserve districts, with their central banking cities, under the new currency law. On June 8 the American Thread company, which was proved to be a combination of manufacturers which practically controlled the output, forestalled the action contemplated by the department of justice by dissolving. In June, also, the United States supreme court affirmed the power of the interstate commerce commission to fix rates, and held that pipe lines are common carriers and must carry products at rates fixed by the commission. On June 15 the president made public a charge that big business interests had been trying to force congress to adjourn. He declared that everything in the proper business legislation had been enacted. In July the commission found that the former management of the New Haven road was criminally wasteful and negligent. President Wilson directed the attorney general, July 21, to begin civil and criminal proceedings against the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, and two days later the suit was begun in the United States district court at New York. On the first day of August the interstate commerce commission denied the petition of the eastern railroads for a general increase of 5 per cent in freight rates, but allowed certain increases in the middle West. On August 12 the dissolution of the International Harvester company, designated as a monopoly in restraint of trade, was ordered by the United States district court at St. Paul, Minn. The Panama Canal was formally opened for World War II on August 15. The steamship, below the Panama railroad, passed from ocean to ocean in ten hours. In September the railroad rate case showed increased activity. The roads east of the Mississippi and north of the Potomac again petitioned the interstate commerce commission for permission to advance freight rates 5 per cent, and the commission consented to reopen the case. The commission granted the increase, with certain exceptions, on December 18. In October the court dismissed all but one of the government's charges in its suit to dissolve the Atlantic steamship trust. Final argument in the suit to dissolve the Steel trust was made at Philadelphia, and the discussion of increased railroad freight rates was resumed before the interstate commerce commission. At the elections held on November 3 the Democratic majority in the house of representatives was reduced from 147 to 25, although the Democratic majority in the senate was increased from 10 to 16. Constitutional amendments giving the suffrage to women were carried in Nevada and Montana and prohibition triumphed in Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and Colorado. In Missouri the so-called "full crew" law passed by the legislature was reflected. Politics in Other Lands. On January 27 Michel Oreste, president of Haiti, warned of the approach of a large body of revolutionists, abdicated hastily and took refuge on a German cruiser. On February 8 Orestes Zamor was elected president of Haiti, and on the same day Jose Vicente Concha was elected president of Colombia. On March 17, as the finale to a bitter political and personal controversy, the wife of the French minister of finance, Mme. Callaux, shot and killed the editor of Figaro, Gaston Calmette. Her husband resigned his office at once and a new cabinet was formed. The trial of Mme. Callaux resulted in her acquittal on July 28. On March 14 a treaty of peace between Turkey and Servia was signed at Constantinople, a sequel to the Balkan war. On May 1 the new Chinese constitution was published. It abolished the premiership and gave increased power to the president. On May 6 Prince Alexander of Teck, Queen Mary's brother, was appointed governor-general of Canada. On May 15 Colonel Benavides, leader of the Peruvian faction which expelled President Billinghurst, was elected provisional president. Three days later a group of senators and deputies declared Roberto Legula provisional president. The Peruvian supreme court, however, re-organized Benavides. On July 21 Ahmed Mirza, sixteen years of age, was crowned shah of Persia. On August 25 the French cabinet was reconstructed on a committee of national defense basis. Rene Viviani, Socialist, remained premier. On September 28 the Albanian senate, which had driven its recently elected ruler -Prince William of Wied-out of the country, chose a Tuna for king-Prince Barbino, son of the deposed Abdul Harbull of Tucson. The Ecuadorian protested, but their wishes were disregarded. On October 4, after four months' exile, Essad Pasha, accompanied by an armed force, entered Albania and took possession of the government. On the day following the death of King Charles of Roumania his nephew, Ferdinand, took the oath of office as sovereign. Industrial Trials and Triumphs. The Ford Motor company at the beginning of the year adopted a profit-sharing plan by which $10,000,000 is to be distributed annually among the 26,000 wage-earners of that concern. The great South African railroad strike came to an end. On January 19 a strike of the Delaware and Hudson railroad men, as a protest against the discharge of two employees, was settled within sixteen hours by the federal board of mediation and conciliation. Two great labor controversies had been left over from the preceding year—one in the Michigan copper mines, which began July 23, 1913, and another in the Colorado coal fields, where 14,000 men had been on strike since September 23 of the previous year. Violence ensued and federal aid was demanded. On April 20 the striking miners clashed with the state militia near Trinidad, Colo., and twenty-five persons were killed or burned to death in a fire which followed. President Wilson ordered federal troops to the scene. It was not until September 15 that the strikers and their employers accepted President Wilson's offer for a settlement of their dispute, but this plan was rejected, as the attack of one of the president named a commission of three headed by Seth Low, to deal with the strike. Shortly after the strike was declared off. On April all the coal mines of Ohio were closed down on account of the failure to unite on an agreement as to a basis of payment to supersede the one already to use. On the following day the Yorkshire coal miners, to the number of 170,000 men, went on strike to support their demand for a minimum wage. June 12 a strike among the West Virginia coal miners, which had been on since the previous September, was declared off, the miners waiving recognition of the union in order to obtain other important concessions. On July 17 the federal board of mediation and conciliation again proved its ability as a peacemaker. The engineers and firemen of ninety-eight Western railways accepted the mediation of the board. Casualties on Land and Sea. Early in January the second phenomenal storm of the season added largely to the destruction of property along the ocean front of New Jersey and Long Island. On January 11, a Japanese volcano on Sakura Island burst suddenly into activity and destroyed three towns and killed more than a thousand persons. During a performance at a moving picture theater at Surabaya, Java, 75 women and children were burned to death. The steamer Monroe, from Norfolk to New York city, was rammed by the Nantucket during a night fog off Cape Charles, January 30, and 41 persons were lost. On March 14 more than a thousand persons lost their lives during a storm which flooded several towns in Southern Russia, and about the same time many persons were killed by an earthquake at Akita, Japan. On March 21 the sealing steamer Newfoundland stranded on an ice floe in the Strait of Belle Isle and 77 of her crew were frozen to death. The same day the steamer Southern Cross and her crew disappeared. On April 28 an explosion in a mine shaft at Eccles, W. Va., caused the death of 180 miners. Early in May Sicily was visited by a series of shocks which did great damage along the eastern coast. The steamship Empress of Ireland was struck by the Norwegian collier Storstad in the St. Lawrence river, May 29, and sank almost immediately, more than a thousand passengers losing their lives. May 30, Capt. Robert A. Barlett of the Stefansson arctic expedition returned to St. Michael, Alaska, with the news that the Karluk sank, January 11, after having been crushed by ice, and that her crew was marooned on Wrangel Island. On September 7, eight members of this crew were found by a rescuing party. On June 19 more than two hundred miners were lost by an explosion in a coal mine near Alberta, Canada. A fire at Salem, Mass., June 25, destroyed half of the city, including several thousand homes and many large industrial establishments. In this month, also, American consuls in various Chinese cities reported that floods in southern China had destroyed the crops and made 2,000,000 persons homeless. On September 18 the Francis H. Leggett collided with an unknown vessel of the Oregon coast and 72 of her passengers and crew were lost. In October an earthquake in Turkey destroyed more than 3,000 persons in a few minutes. Edison's great electrical plant at Orange, N. J., was destroyed by fire on December 9. Notable Events. Early in January the firm of J. P.

On January 9 Harvard university and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology arranged to combine their engineering departments. On February 10 Andrew Carnegie gave $2,000,000 toward the propaganda carried on by the Church Peace union. On April 13 the International Surgical congress met at New York city.

On October 14 one of the most comprehensive financial schemes on record formulated by bankers at New York city involved the raising by the banks of a fund of $150,000,000 which was to be loaned upon warehouse receipts for cotton. On the last day of October the Panama canal was closed for traffic a second time on account of an earth slide into Culebra cut. On November 6 the Chicago stockyards were closed on account of an epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease which had already led the federal authorities to establish quarantine in eight states against the shipment of cattle. Later this prohibition was extended to several other states. The so-called "house of governors" met in its seventh annual session at Madison, Wis. November 10.

RAT DINES WITH KITTENS Animal Is Captured While Drinking Milk With Hereditary Enemies. Jellico, Tenn.—T. T. Hackney of the wholesale grocery house of H. T. Hackney company of this place surprised a large gray rat dining with several kittens in the warehouse, and succeeded in capturing the friendly rodent with little difficulty. The rat was drinking milk with the kittens, apparently contented and friendly. Mr. Hackney called to several of his associates in the store and warehouse to witness the strange spectacle and the rat never made a sign of enmity toward the kittens. The big rat is a prisoner in a glass jar and will be held by Mr. Hackney, who will make an effort to train the rat and kittens as companions. MIRACLE MAN HAS ONE ARM He Supports Family of Fourteen and Self on One and One-half Acres of Land. Los Angeles.—If a one-armed man succeeds in supporting a wife and 13 children on one and one-half acres of irrigated land, why should a man with a small family and two sturdy arms complain of hard luck. E. R. Davis, a native of Utah, was engaged in mining until he met with an accident and lost his left arm. He bought four acres of land in Milford valley, Utah, of which but a little over an acre is under an irrigation ditch. From this small portion of irrigated land he says he has supported a family of 14 in comfort. He raises vegetables, fruits and berries. CAT IS A HARDENED HOBO When Put Off Car Trucks, It Jumps Upon Trucks of the Next Car. Prosperity, Mo.—A belt line car stopped near where Daniel Ross and several other men were standing. One of them discovered a cat crouched on the forward trucks, seemingly satisfied. Supposing the animal had been placed there by some heartless person, and was afraid to jump off, the men pulled it out, though it objected. After being turned loose it jumped upon the trucks of the next car that came along, spitting in feline fashion at the men who interrupted its trip. ON GERMAN LINE THROUGH BELGIUM TO THE SEACOAST Newspaper Man Is the Unbidden Guest of the Army Commanders. NEW WAR SONG IS WRITTEN Popular Tune Is Dedicated to Prowess of Big Guns—Many Little Boys Ran Away With the Troops—Help Sent to Feed Starving People of Flanders. Berlin.—Bucking the line of Prussian militarism or prowling around the back door of the front is a game of chance and skill which any American of average nerve can play to good advantage and at little expense, traveling mostly as an unbidden guest on the super warlords' military trains and transports. I have just returned from a week of wandering through Belgium to the coast of the North sea and am able to give prospective tourists some suggestions as to how to enjoy it. Your initial equipment should consist of an emergency passport, which it takes a long time to get at Cologne. Considerable Latitude Given. This document gives you considerable latitude. "Good for 30 days," it generously allows you to go to Brussels and back, using either "your own or a hired automobile," and further says that "the use of military trains, whenever possible, is also allowed on presentation of a railroad ticket"—which last opens up the possibility of a "free ride" as nobody thinks of asking you for a ticket to Brussels and you could not buy one if you tried to—at present. From now on you increasingly realize that a state of war exists somewhere in the neighborhood, for you leave Aachen in a third-class car, whose hard wooden benches are mostly occupied by loud-lunged singing, cheering soldiers bound for the front—two score of them, belonging to a reserve company of a heavy foot artillery regiment of the famous Guards corps—"the Iron corps of Brandenburg." The heavy artilleryists are singing a song that sounds like American ragtime, but yet isn't. The words run (Americanized) as follows: Sing the artillery now a song!* Victorious, proud she marches along. Every true German her praises now sings Joyful in East and West it rings. Hurrah! hurrah! the heavy artillery! Hurrah! hurrah she sure can shoot, by gee Hurrah! raise your glasses! this toast give: "Proptit! The artillery shall live!" "Prosit! The artillery shall live!" With cannon fire we'd first begun; Then came the heavy field howitzers on. But they weren't enough by a very long sight. Now with two-and-forty centimeter guns we fight. At High Pressure. The heavy artillerists and I were turned out into the night air on the Belgian border as the passenger train went no farther, but here a bewildering choice of transportation facilities offered. I found another train. The block signals and switch lights had all been wrecked by the retreating Belgians, and the Germans have not had time to replace them yet, but in spite of the fact that he was running without signals, the engineer opened up the throttle wide. In matters military the Germans have acquired almost the American habit of high pressure and speed. Liege was reached in an hour. Here you pass your first trainload of prisoners bound for Germany. It is a string of third-class carriages lighted by oil lanterns, and, if one may judge from their khaki uniforms, the passengers are English prisoners of war, mostly sleeping. Then you have a procession of hospital trains—all full; then more prisoners—the bulk of the heavy west-bound traffic through Belgium consists of prisoners and wounded. You can smell Louvain a mile away. You would know where you were, even if you did not see the moonlit ruins about the railroad station, where your military transport makes a long stop. Here on the platform among the soldiers on guard you see a youngster of about twelve armed—field gray, with a miniature spliked helmet, cartridge belt, and bayonet. He is evidently the mascot of the Landsturm battalion garrisoned at Louvaln. You ask a soldier about it, and he tells you an interesting story "You would be surprised," he says, "to know how many boys ran away from home to go with the soldiers. Many eluded the watchful eyes of the authorities and slipped aboard troop trains, the soldiers often helping them to stay hidden, and so actually reached the front, where some of the boys have rendered good service. I know of one who received the iron cross for bravery under fire in carrying ammunition to the men in the trenches at a critical moment when they had run out." 14 WOUNDS; OTHERWISE O. K. Sturdy German Defender of the Fatherland Thought He Was Not Badly Hurt. Berlin.—The report of the following incident was sent to the Berliner Tageblatt by a physician: "In the royal surgical clinic in Ziegelstrasse there arrived a new transport filled mainly with severely wounded men, most of whom had to be carefully carried to their beds. One sturdy defender of his country clambered without assistance out of the wagon and approached the physician who was receiving them. "Well, my man," said the latter, "you were not badly hurt?" "No,' the man in the field gray answered, 'only three blows on the head with the butt end of a rifle, ten bayonet thrusts and a shot through my chest. Nothing else.'" BABY SLEEPS WITH BEARS "Big Doggie Play," All Lost Child Says of His Remarkable Experience. Fifield, Wis.—Kept alive for two days by association with two bear cubs and their mother, Baby Ball, the two-year-old son of a settler north of here, was found late at night recently, asleep in the underbrush and, though starving, was not suffering from exposure. The searchers saw the sign of bears near where the child was found, and old woodsmen declared that the babe was kept alive by sleeping with the cubs and their mother. All that the child can say is: "Big doggie play; baby hungry." NO ORDER. JAIL SHUT TO HIM Oregonian Who Made Trip to Prison Alone Is Sent Back for Commitment Papers. Salem, Oregon.—R. N. Gibson, sentenced from Multnomah county to serve from one to five years in the penitentiary for obtaining money by false pretenses, was refused admittance when he arrived at the prison unattended. He had been authorized by Sheriff Word of Portland to make the trip alone, but had forgotten to bring his commitment papers. He was told to return and get them, and started for Portland again, expressing chagrin at the delay. Bandits Attacked Wrong Men Shenandoah, Pa.—When William and Matthew Dunlap were returning to their home late at night they were held up by three masked men at a lonely spot. One of the Dunlap brothers picked up a plank and felled one of the trio. They then attacked the other two men and gave them a sound thrashing. The injured bandit's skull was fractured and there is no hope of his recovery HELMETS MARK CRAVES THE CROSS Fourteen German soldiers who fell at Charleroi lie in this grave. The helmet of each man resting on the mound shows where its wearer is lying. A cross bearing the inscription "For Kaiser and Vaterlau" surmounts a tablet on which are engraved the names of the men who lie buried in the grave. The Great Western Hotel A la Carte Dining Room.

OKLA., STAR Henry Mock, a Negro of Mingo Junction, O., has invented what he calls a "mine destroyer," which will not only prevent a ship from being blown up by a submarine mine, but will set off the mine without harm to the vessel which is equipped with his device. He also claims that his invention will locate icebergs and prevent vessels from running into such "terrors of the sea," and that it is a safe device for rescuing passengers from sinking or burning ships. Mock says he has not secured patents on his invention, but has applied for them in this and other countries. He also says he has correspondence with governments regarding his invention, with gratifying encouragement of their adopting it as an equipment of their navies. "I have made a number of experiments with my invention," said Mock the other day, "and everyone of them has been an unqualified success. I have experimented on an Ohio River steamer several times with dynamite bombs, and the steamer was as safe from harm when equipped with my invention as though there was no dynamite within a mile of it. The locating of other dangerous substances in the river in the path of the steamer also was tried a number of times with great success. "I hope soon to secure patents on my invention. When I do I will be glad to have the secret of it made public. It can be used on any sort of steamer or sailing vessel, and I am sure it will be the means of saving thousands of lives at sea every year, as well as locating and destroying submarine mines and finding icebergs in time to prevent the destruction of ocean-going ships." To ambitious Negro and Indian students, the following courses are offered: Academic-normal, covering four years of work for those who are preparing to become teachers; an agricultural course of four years, and a trade course of four years in any one of 13 trades, including the building industries, as well as such indoor trades as tailoring and printing. "In 1914 and thereafter," according to the latest announcement, "a diploma from the Hampton school will indicate that the recipient has done at least four years of work beyond the grammar grades. It will be the policy of the school to grant a diploma to no one who has not received sufficient vocational training to make self-support possible at some skilled occupation. "In all the industrial courses leading to a diploma, a fixed minimum of academic work is required; indeed, it is regarded as an essential part of all industrial courses." In the agricultural course the Hampton student has the opportunity of learning the best modern practice in field, garden, orchard, greenhouse, horse barn, dairy and poultry houses. Hampton sends out "agricultural missionaries." Mere bigness has never been a goal at Hampton. Every department has grown in natural response to the pressing needs of the races receiving training. Today, between twelve and thirteen hundred students, including some forty Indians, are enrolled. These figures include some four hundred children in the Whittier school, which is a neighborhood elementary school, and is used by Hampton institute as a training school for teachers. The student life at Hampton institute tends to develop character. In the dormitories, on the parade ground, on the football field, in the cabins of the old and lowly, indeed, at every turn, fortunate Negro and Indian youths who reach Hampton are receiving valuable training in self-control in obedience, in courtesy, in team work. From the rising bell, which sounds at 5:30 in the morning, until "taps" at 9:30 at night, the Hampton students are being trained in the value of promptness, alertness, discipline, endurance, respect for authority, and applied Christianity. Hampton institute stands for all that aids in training Negroes and Indians to become earnest, industrious, Christian citizens. It teaches the dignity of labor, the happiness of service, and the value of moral and physical cleanliness. Hampton institute is neither a state nor a government school. It must depend largely on voluntary contributions for its support. Indeed, $125,000 are required annually, above the school's regular income, for scholarships and expenses. The school is striving to raise an endowment fund of $4,000,000 The music of the Negro, like the music of the Indian, has caused much ink to be spilled. Some enthusiastic souls have looked to the rhythms of the red man for the melody that is to create American music; in fact, some have gone so far as to declare that the only possible American music can be Indian music. Which is all very interesting and absolutely inconclusive. The fact remains that Indian composers, in any fair sense of the term, do not exist; while we have among us many talented and well-trained Negro creative musicians. It was with one of these that a New York Tribune representative talked last week, with a man who has written a very large proportion of the so-called modern dances. The man was Jesse Rees Europe, the composer of all the Castle dances, and the director of Europe's orchestra, an organization which has all but secured complete control of the cabaret and dance field in the city. Mr. Europe is a well-trained musician and a man who has thought deeply on the musical possibilities of his race, and of these possibilities he has firm and well defined opinions. "I am striving at present to form an orchestra of Negroes which will be able to take its place among the serious musical organizations of the country," said Mr. Europe. "The Tempo club now contains about two hundred members, all musicians, and from this body I supply at present a majority of the orchestras which play in the various cafes of the city and also at the private dances. Our Negro musicians have nearly cleared the field of the so-called gypsy orchestras. The Negro, while not generally equal to the demands of the more sophisticated forms of music, is peculiarly fitted for: the modern dances. I don't think it too much to say that he plays this music better than the white man simply because all this music is indigenous with him. Rhythm is something that is born in the Negro, and the modern dances require rhythm above all else. "I myself do not consider the modern dances a step backward. The one-step is more beautiful than the old two-step, and the fox-trot than the schottische, of which it is a development. As to the so-called dance craze, it does not appear to be a 'craze.' I have had probably as good an opportunity to observe the various dances as anyone in the city, and I have found that dancing keeps husbands and wives together and eliminates much drinking, as no one can dance and drink to excess. However, these are questions for a philosopher and not for a musician." The Negro farmer reads no bulletins, few agricultural journals, and seldom sees the daily or semi-weekly market reports published in our papers. He has not taken any interest in the subject of transportation. Freight, express and parcel post rates and their relative value and the importance of this service do not interest him, as he has nothing to ship. Demand and supply appeal to him only to the amount of food required or demanded to supply his appetite. He has never been taught anything about farm accounts, and so his receipts and expenditures have no safe check, and often, more often than otherwise, these expenditures are injudicious. Kangaroo farming is a very important industry in Australia. But we sit not down and complain of our lot. We know that we have women in our race today who stand shoulder to shoulder with any women. We need and must make all the friends we can with white people. They need us and we need them. If centuries were needed to bring the Anglo-Saxon from the morasses of central Europe to the height of today's civilization they cannot expect us to be perfect—yet. We are like the wrecked ship which to the call, "Shall we lower the boats and take you in?" gave answer thus: "No. Lay by us till morning." So say we to our generous, sympathetic and true white friends. Our record for this half-mile stone from human slavery is unequaled. Let us go on with the team work which embodies the grand old motto of the Swiss republic, "All for each and each for all."—From An Address at the Biennial Federation of Colored Women's Clubs.

In Sunday school one afternoon, the superintendent announced the hymn, "I Want to Be an Angel," and when the others began to sing, it was not noticed that little Jessie was conspicu- ously silent. "What is the matter, my dear?" kindly asked the teacher. "Why don't you sing, 'I Want to Be an Angel'?" "Because, Miss Mary," was the rather startling rejoinder of the child, "I don't want to be one." "Don't want to be one!" exclaimed the horrified teacher. "Why do you say that?" "Because," calmly answered Jessie, "they have to play on the harp, and I have had trouble enough taking my plano lessons." CLEAR YOUR SKIN By Daily Use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Trial Free.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR A CHILD'S BOWELS It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a sick child. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insisted on — castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for bables, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv.

FRANK WILL NOT BE EXECUTED SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FINALLY TO REVIEW CASE. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT DENIED Is the Contention, Because He Was Not In Court When Jury Rendered Its Verdict.—Justice Lamar Grants Reprieve. Washington.—Justice Lamar of the United States supreme court granted appeal from the refusal of the federal district court for northern Georgia to release on habeas corpus proceedings Leo M. Frank, under death sentence for the murder of Mary Phagan, 14-year-old factory girl of Atlanta, Ga. As a result of Justice Lamar's action the entire court now will pass upon Frank's right to seek release on a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that the trial court lost jurisdiction over him by its failure to have him present when the verdict was returned. Should the court decide that Frank was entitled to ask for the writ, the case probably would be remanded to the district court for the taking of evidence but should the supreme court "It's a long lane that has no turning," said Leo Frank in his cell. --- decide that he was not entitled to the benefit of the habeas corpus writ the state of Georgia would no longer be barred from imposing the death sentence. In the event the supreme court eventually decides that Frank must be released from custody, it was said a further question, about which there is uncertainty, would arise as to the power of the state-to indict and try him a second time. It is said authorities differ as to whether the first trial would be regarded as having placed Frank in "jeopardy."

Washington.—The United States government has dispatched a long note to Great Britain insisting upon early ipmorvement in the treatment of American commerce by the British fleet. It gave warning that much feeling had been aroused in this country and that public criticism was general over unwarranted interference with the legitimate foreign trade of the United States. The document, constituting the strongest representation on this subject made by the United States to any of the belligerents since the outbreak of the war, was cabled to Ambassador Page- to be formally presented to Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary. As the detailed point of view of the United States in numerous specific cases of detentions and seizures of cargoes had been set forth in a series of emphatic protests most of which have gone unheeded, the communication was couched in general terms, covering the entire subject of the relations between the United States and Great Britain as affected by the latter's naval policy considered highly objectionable by this government.

Count Karolyi, according to the Vossische Zeitung, returning to his castle in Hungary, met one of his old servants who had just been sent back wounded from the war. "My good man, I heard you fought so valiantly at the front," said the count. "I would like to give you some reward. What shall it be?" The old servant replied: "Well, if you insist upon it, sir, just give me enough kronen coins to reach from one ear to the other." "That seems to be a very little reward," replied the count, smiling at the odd request. "It's enough for me, sir," answered the servant modestly. As the count was beginning to comply with the strange request he noticed that the servant had only one ear, and remarked upon the fact. "Yes, sir. I left the other ear on the battle field at Shabatz," answered the modest man. GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color, Gloss, Thickness. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time, by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.— Adv. Cheating Himself. "You say that millionaire's time is worth a dollar a minute?" inquired the man with large diamonds. "Yes. You wouldn't think it from his manner and appearance." "No. His time may be worth a dollar a minute. But when it comes to enjoying himself he isn't getting a run for his money." "I suppose he considers you the apple of his eye?" "Well, something like that. He says I'm a pippin." "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady," quoted Mrs. Gabb as she tossed aside the magazine she was reading. "Some guys have all the luck," growled Mr. Gabb. Now comes complaint from New York of less frequent visits from the stork. Usually the so-called dignity a man attempts to stand on is nothing but a bluff. TO TILL UNOCCUPIED CANADIAN LANDS THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT ASKING FOR INCREASED ACREAGE IN GRAIN, TO MEET EUROPEAN DEMAND. There are a number of holders of land in Western Canada, living in the United States, to whom the Canadian Government will shortly make an appeal to place the unoccupied areas they are holding under cultivation. The lands are highly productive, but in a state of idleness they are not giving any revenue beyond the unearned increment and are not of the benefit to Canada that these lands could easily be made. It is pointed out that the demand for grains for years to come will cause good prices for all that can be produced. Not only will the price of grains be affected, but also will that of cattle, hogs and horses, in fact, everything that can be grown on the farms. When placed under proper cultivation, not the kind that is often resorted to, which lessens yield and land values, many farms will pay for themselves in two or three years. Careful and intensive work is required, and if this is given in the way it is given to the high-priced lands of older settled countries, surprising results will follow. There are those who are paving rent, who should not be doing. They would do better to purchase lands in Western Canada at the present low price at which they are being offered by land companies or private individuals. These have been held for the high prices that many would have realized, but for the war and the financial stringency. Now is the time to buy; or if it is preferred advantage might be taken of the offer of 160 acres of land free that is made by the Dominion Government. The man who owns his farm has a life of independence. Then again there are those who are renting who might wish to continue as renters. They have some means as well as sufficient outfit to begin in a new country where all the advantages are favourable. Many of the owners of unoccupied lands would be willing to lease them on reasonable terms. Then again, attention is drawn to the fact that Western Canada numbers amongst its most successful farmers, artisans, business men, lawyers, doctors and many other professions. Farming today is a profession. It is no longer accompanied by the drudgery that we were acquainted with a generation ago. The fact that a man is not following a farming life today, does not preclude him from going on a Western Canada farm tomorrow, and making a success of it. If he is not in possession of Western Canada land that he can convert into a farm he should secure some, make it a farm by equipping it and working it himself. The man who has been holding his Western Canada land waiting for the profit he naturally expected has been justified in doing so. Its agricultural possibilities are certain and sure. If he has not realized immediately by making a sale, he should not worry. But to let it lie idle is not good business. By getting it placed under cultivation a greater profit will come to him. Have it cultivated by working it himself, or get some good representative to do it. Set about getting a purchaser, a renter or some one to operate on shares. The department of the Dominion Government having charge of the Immigration, through Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent at Ottawa, Canada, is directing the attention of non-resident owners of Western Canada lands to the fact that money will be made out of farming these lands. The agents of the Department, located at different points in the States, are rendering assistance to this end.—Advertisement.

SPOHN MEDICAL CO., Chemists. Goshen, Ind., U. S. A. SHE KICKED THE WRONG SHIN Captain's Wife Finally Understood Why Her Warnings Had Not Reached Her Husband. Summer had come, and the sea captain's wife was accompanying her husband across the ocean. And it chanced also that the owner's sister was making the trip. She was a strong-minded woman, and the wife of the captain, knowing the argumentative nature of her husband, saw serious trouble ahead. Wherefore, she warned him that, when at meals, if she thought he was approaching dangerous ground, she would give him a polite reminder by kicking him on the hins. But, alas, her reminders passed unheeded, though her kicks grew harder and harder. And one day she kicked more vigorously than ever. A shadow of pain passed across the face of the mate, who sat opposite her. "Oh, Mr. Boddy," she said, "I'm so sorry, but was that your shin?" "Yes, Mrs. Brown," replied the mate meekly; "it's been my shin all the voyage, ma'am!" TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid Which Clogs the Kidneys and Irritates the Bladder.

Nev.—A compromise has been brought about, the terms of which are not made public, between John G. Taylor and his son, John G. Taylor Jr., in the $123,000 suit over a claim to money derived from the sale of 11,000 sheep. The suit was filed in the district court of Elko, but the compromise was brought about when friends of the father and son arranged a secret meeting here. The younger Taylor alleged in his suit that the money to be derived from the sale of a band of 11,000 sheep, minus the cost of caring for them, had been promised him when he reached his majority, by his father. He is now of age, but up to the time of the filing of the suit no offer to settle had been made by his father. The sheep were sold for $143,000, and he figured the cost of their upkeep at $20,000, leaving $123,000 as the sum due him. OVER 85 YEARS EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS & C.
