OUTRAGED IN OKLAHOMA. Prominent Kansas City Physician Arrested at Vinita for Riding in Pullman Car: On Saturday morning, December 31st, 1910, Dr. W. J. Thompkins on Kansas City, Mo., and one of the most prominent and successful physicians in the West, left his home via the M. K. & T. railway for McAlester, Okla. The doctor has been one of the physicians who treated Miss Hazel McDaniel, daughter of Hon. E. E. McDaniel, when she was near death, suffering from malignant typhoid fever. The doctor had purchased a railroad ticket and also a Pullman ticket to his place of destination, and his trip was pleasant and uneventful until he reached the town of Vinita, Okla. At this point he was informed by four big burly deputy sheriffs that he was under arrest and forcibly taken from the train and carried up town to be incarcerated in jail. The county judge refused to assume jurisdiction and the four officers then conducted their prisoner to a two by four justice of the peace. Here it was discovered the doctor had been arrested without a warrant and there was none of the train crew present to make a complaint, but a little thing like that made no difference to "hizzoner" and a fine of a dollar and costs was assessed against the prisoner and he was notified it was pay up or go to jail, and the whole amount was $15. A more outrageous and damnable invasion of the rights of a citizen was never perpetrated. Just think of it. A reputable citizen, a gentleman outraged by a set of ignorantmuses and prejudiced devils who are a disgrace to the fair state of Oklahoma. Dr. Thompkins is assistant city physician for Kansas City. Gr. Medical Reg. of K of P. of Missouri, school inspector, chief medical adviser for the National Negro Educational League. A thirty-three degree Mason and has the confidence and respect of the better class of white citizens of Kansas City, Mo. Dr. Thompkins was an interstate passenger and all the way from Kansas City to Vinita sat and conversed with high class white gentlemen who never once objected to his presence but to the contrary were glad to converse with an intelligent up to date man. Every one knows there is no social equality in riding on a train and it is true that the hill billies who arrested the doctor would on account of ignorance been out of place in a Pullman and doubtless never before saw the inside of one. The Katy conductor who ordered the arrest has gotten his company into a mess that could have been avoided because he had no right whatever to order a passenger taken from a Pullman car. The doctor is made of the proper kind of stuff and says he will teach these prejudiced hell hounds a lesson they won't soon forget. The U. S. courts are open to him and he will not let up until the company makes amends for the harsh treatment he received. The local organizations in the state will assist in the fight for justice and right.—The Muskogee Climeter. Mr. L.

Griffin was awarded a verdict of $1,000 by Judge McCall of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, reversing Judge Dugro's decision in this case. Judge Dugro set aside the verdict, awarding Griffin $2,500 for false arrest and imprisonment as excessive on the grounds that a Negro could not suffer from arrest as does a white man. Judge Dugro's decision caused much comment at that time. Daniel L. Brady, the brother of "Diamond Jim Brady, millionaire turfman, accused Griffin of the theft of a wallet on a trip to Montreal io June 1908. Griffin was arrested, and proved his innocence at the trial. He afterwards sued for damages. Griffin has been employed on this run many years. It was he, who in Garrison wreck on the Hudson, distinguished himself for bravery after receiving several injuries. He cut the side of the drawing room wherein Lord Douglas of Warwick was imprisoned and rescued him from drowning.

Washington. -- McPherson square breaks the westward sweep of Vermont avenue to the hills where stands Howard university in this city. On this avenue, one block southward, was the Washington home of Charles Sumner, the resort of statesmen, scholars and art students in the civil war period. Facing this square is the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church, in which, under the auspices of the American Negro academy, the Charles Sumner centenary celebration was held Friday evening, Jan. 6. The program was unique. A bartone solo was rendered by Dr. Charles Sumner Wormley, grandson of the celebrated caterer, James Wormley, who was one of the senator's great admirers; a poem by Mrs. F. J. Grimke was read by Miss Mary P. Burrill, Washington's leading elocutionist Charles Sumner Post, G. A. R. occu- PROFESSOR J. W. CROMWELL. pled reserved seats in front. Members of the academy were seated on the platform. A notable address was delivered by Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford, who has not allowed the narrow atmosphere of Washington to stifle the spirit of freedom brought by him from New England. The remarks by Professor Kelly Miller, a native of South Carolina, the state which sent Brooks to congress, were indeed thrilling, but the principal address by the president, Archbald W. Grimke, was a fine tribute to a great American. He said in part: Negro citizenship and suffrage he championed not to save the political power of his party and section, but as a duty which the republic owes to the weakest of her children because of their weakness. Equally important is the equal defense that poverty has against property in modern civilized society. Well did Sumner understand this truth. Well did he understand that wrong has a fatal consequence. He would change his form without losing its identity. It had shed in America Negro slavery. It would reappear as Negro serdemdom unless placed in the way of utter distinction. He toiled, therefore, in the senate of the United States, before the law the master principle in the social and political system of the nation. As his years increased so increased his passion for justice and equality. He was never weary of sowing and resowing the laws of the nation and the mind of the nation. He was devoted to the Declaration of Independence. His entire absorption in one lofty purpose lent to him a singular aloofness and isolation in the politics of the times. He was not like other political leaders. He laid stress on the ethical side of statesmanship. They emphasized the economical. He was chiefly concerned with the rights of property. Such a great soul could not be a partisan. Party with him was an instrument to advance his ideas and nothing more. As long as it proved efficient, subservient to right, he gave it his hearty support. It was therefore a foregone conclusion that military and personal character of General Grant's first administration furnished the casus bell. These two great men had no reciprocal appreciation the one for the other. Summer was honest in his belief that Grant knew nothing but war, and quite as honest was Grant that Summer was honest in his breach in consequence widened between the ter and his party, for it naturally enough espoused the cause of the president. Sumner's imposing figure grew more distant and companionless. Domestic unhappiness, too, was eating into his proud heart. His health began to decline. The immediable injury which his constitution suffered, and Brooks developed fresh complications and ed all the old bodily sufferings. Alone in this extremity, he trod the wine press of sorrow and suffering. He had no longer a party to lean union nor a state to support him nor any woman's hand to adhere to the crisis of his need. He had now nothing to do to this he clung with the pathos and the passion of a gaud and solitary spirit. Like as a mother about to die fixes her eyes on a darling child, so were his thoughts fixed on the struggling cause of human brotherhood and equality. MINNESOTA HISTORIC SOCIETY BRIEF RESUME OF THE PAST YEAR List of Some of the Important Organizations Which Have For Their Object the Spiritual, Moral, Intellectual and Political Well Being of the Race, George E. Wibecan's Effective Leadership. The achievements of Afro-Americans during the past year have been truly remarkable. In taking a retrospective view of the many activities among them in church, state, business and in educational affairs one finds much to commend. True to the custom which has been observed for many years, the race throughout the nation honored the memory of Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator, model statesman and martyred president. At the second annual meeting of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, held in New York the last of May, a permanent organization was perfected with Mr. Moorfield Story of Boston as president and Professor W. E. B. Du Bois as director of publicity and research. The association publishes a monthly magazine, the Crisis, now in its third issue. It is edited by Professor Du PRESIDENT M. BARNETT DODSON, APRO-AMERICAN EDITOR, AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION. Bols with the co-operation of Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, J. Max Barber, Charles Edward Russell, Professor Kelly Miller, W. S. Braithwaite and M. D. Maclean. New England Baptist Convention. The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention, held in New York in June, was a record breaker along all lines of its work. There were 153 churches represented and 875 delegates in attendance. The receipts were nearly $1,500. Appropriations for various purposes were distributed in part as follows: For the work in Haiti, $167.76; for Africa, $50; for South American missions, $65.99; to the fund for the widows and orphans of deceased members, $250. Educational institutions helped were Virginia seminary and college, the Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural school and the National Training School For Women and Girls. There were many important happenings in the month of July of more than ordinary interest. The first of these events was the great pugilistic battle between Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries for the heavyweight championship of the world at Beno, Nev., July 4, which resulted in a victory for Johnson in the fifteenth round. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, the Northeastern federation, the New York State federation and the State Federation of Women's Clubs of Kansas each held interesting and successful biennial and annual meetings during the month. The seventh annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers In Colored Schools held in Oklahoma City from July 20 to 23, inclusive, attracted wide attention and accomplished much good for the cause of education. At the annual convention of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks held in Washington peace plans for the consolidation of the two factions of the order were perfected. J. Frank Wheaton, a prominent New York lawyer, was elected grand exalted ruler of the united organization. Strong Plea For Manhood Rights. Among the principal events during the month of August were the third annual meeting of the National Independent Political league held in Atlantic City, N. J. Among those who spoke on special subjects were Professor W. B. B. Du Bols on "Voting," Rev. J. Milton Walshon on "Why Colored Men Should Be Independent In Voting," F. B. Warren, Esq., on "History of Political Independence" and N. B. Marshall, Esq., who spoke in defense of the discharged soldiers. In concluding his annual address to the organization, which was remarkable for its logic and frankness. Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the league, said: "The National Independent league is a body of Negroes who love their race above party and who are willing to vote with any party if by doing so they can permanently advance the political interests of the race. As to myself, I would vote for the devil if I thought it would help my race in the end. The time has come when the truckling sycophants and timeservers should stand aside and let men who are prepared and willing to do so fight the battles of the race without having their motives impugned." National Medical Association. The National Medical association held its annual meeting in Washington, and the National Negro Press association, the Bankers' association and the National Negro Business league held successful conventions in New York. The chief event in secret societies for September was the fifteenth session of the biennial movable committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which was held in Baltimore from the 12th to the 17th, inclusive. While much good was no doubt accomplished and the progress of the order in numbers clearly shown, the session will be referred to in the history of the order as one of much confusion, dissatisfaction and bitterness on the part of the various officials. November, always notable as a month of political activities, was especially remarkable for the defeat of the majority of Republican candidates for state offices. Democratic governors were elected in Massachusetts, Maine, New York, New Jersey and Ohio. In speaking of the part which colored men took in the elections, in so far as their votes affected the great Democratic victory in the various states, the Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron of Washington, who is the national organizer for the independent political leagues, says: "From reports received we feel justified in saying that of the 45,000 colored voters in New York state 30,000 voted for Mr. Dix, and of the 75,000 in Ohio 55,000 at least supported Governor Harmon, while in Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri and New Jersey not less than 50 per cent voted with the Democrats." The fourteenth annual convention of the Western Negro Press association was held in Muskogee, Okla., Nov. 25-26. A. J. Smitherman, manager of the Climeter, was elected president. The Enactment of Unjust Laws. Besides the many unjust laws passed by the various southern states to prevent colored men from voting, the most cruel, farreaching and drastic measure so far enacted by a municipal government was the one passed by the Baltimore city council which forbids colored people from living in streets where the majority of residents are white and vice versa. The new segregation law has already created considerable trouble. William Gallagher, an extensive real estate owner, has been charged with violation of the law because he rented one of his houses on Argyle avenue to colored tenants. The colored people of the city will employ competent lawyers to have the measure tested as to its constitutionality before the highest courts. Pioneer Race Leader Honored. Led by President George E. Wibecan, Jr., the H. H. Garnet Republican club, Brooklyn, gave a magnificent banquet on Dec. 25 at the Hotel Imperial to commemorate the birthday anniversary of the great abolition leader, Henry Hyland Garnet. Many features combined to make the event memorable, the chief of which was the coming together of the leading colored citizens without regard to political or other differences in a common celebration in honor of the noble and devoted leader of the citizens of color of New York state in slavery and reconstruction days. Though the dinner was under the auspices of the Garnet Republican club, leading Democrats of the city were present in just as enthusiastic number as their brethren of the opposite faith. The speakers were about evenly divided between the two parties. Splendid toasts were given on "As a Race Man," by Hon. Charles W. Anderson; "As a Churchman," by Rev. Solomon Porter Hood; "As an Example of Race Possibility," by Hon. Charles E. MacDougal, in the place of Hon. Harry W. Bass of Philadelphia, just elected to the Pennsylvania legislature; "As an Orator," by D. Macon Webster; "The Day We Celebrate," by George E. Wibecan, Jr.; "Our Physicians," by Frederick M. Jacobs, M. D., and "His Times and His Struggle," by Hon. J. H. E. Scotland of Newark, N. J. Dr. William R. Lawton, chairman of the general committee having charge of the arrangements for the banquet, acted as toastmaster. He paid a glowing tribute to the manhood, worth and character of H. H. Garnet. He said in closing his eloquent address he (Garnet) was a gem from the ocean, a diamond from the earth and an inspiration to young men of the present day. Aptitude of Afro-American Workmen. It is a well known fact that Afro-Americans are in the main intelligent laborers, and no class of laborers learn more rapidly, says the Cadis (Ky.) Informer. They possess courage and bravery, and they only want an equal chance with other Americans to earn a livelihood. Race prejudice has denied them this. Today they stand confronted by an unreasonable metal prejudice in nearly every walk of life. MODERN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Institution at Downingtown, Pa., Result of Good Leadership. The question of preventing a Negro problem in the north, which the thoughtful race leaders see in the constant stream of migration from the south and in the trend of the northern born Negro of the present generation, has resulted in a number of substantial movements in the north for his betterment. CONGRESSION Another demon's house rules is assu the introduction of a Representative Nor progressive, who lee the Cannon organi One of the resolut the proceedings of trees shall be made record. It prohibits from meeting behind any circumstance. The results obtained by the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian associations, the Association For the Improvement of Colored Girls, Home For Working Girls, the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, settlement house work and similar institutions and undertakings have attested the wisdom of these movements in the interest of the race. These institutions have brought to their support many generous patrons and a public liberal in its contributions because of a deep conviction of their necessity. As a result of much serious study and a number of conferences upon this question by some of the foremost colored churchmen and business men of the north they decided that the peculiar conditions which obtain among them as a race and for which there was no ample provision in the public schools north made necessary an educational movement which would embrace the plans of a modern school. After much effort and sacrifice a firm of 110 acres was purchased in Chester county, Pa., thirty-two miles from Philadelphia, upon which has been laid the foundation of the Downingtown industrial school. Self help has been applied to strenuous tension, and it was not until the colored people, through their churches and organizations, had given a substantial help and had maintained the school for two and more years that the managers of the institution appealed to philanthropists and the state of Pennsylvania for help. The legislature appropriated $2,500 for two years' maintenance and $5,000 to assist in the trades work of the school. There are four buildings on the grounds and a large quantity of farming utensils, a number of hogs, horses and cows, which have been contributed. Ten thousand dollars is needed to complete Pennsylvania hall and $5,000 to install the trades. Because of the limited accommodations more than 100 worthy young people were refused admittance this year. The president of the institution, Dr. William A. Creditt, and the treasurer, John S. Trower, and all who are connected with the management of it urgently ask the friends of Negro education to become acquainted with the object of the school and with what it is doing. Many have visited the school, and as a result churches and individuals are contributing to it. HIRAM LODGE INSTALLS NEW CORPS OF OFFICERS. Interesting Exercises Mark Close of a Successful Year's Work. The most interesting event in Masonic circles in Brooklyn during the holiday period was the annual communication and installation of officers of Hiram lodge, No. 23, Free and Accepted Masons. All the officers were in their respective positions. Joseph L Lane presided, and the annual calendar of business was gone through with precision. There were representatives present from the various lodges and a large delegation of ladies from the Eastern Star court. The outgoing officers made brief addresses, as did also those elected for the ensuing year. Reva, William R. Lawton and W. A. T.

Morris, Washington; grand assistant secretary, Sandy Dougtry, Portsmouth, Va.; grand treasurer and national receiver, E. Burton Ceruti, Brooklyn. Baneful Effect of Race Prejudice. Professor W. E. Du Bols says it is strange that in a country like the United States, which is attempting to open the largest opportunities to men, the door of opportunity is kept closed against millions of American born citizens. Race prejudice is harmful not only to those whom it concerns directly, but to the entire country. It is spoiling our ideals of democracy, leading to caste and to the exaggeration of social differences. CONGRESSIONAL DOINGS. Another demonstration over the house rules is assured as a result of the introduction of two resolutions by Representative Norris, the Nebraska progressive, who led the fight against the Cannon organization a year ago. One of the resolutions provides that the proceedings of all house committees shall be made a matter of public record. It prohibits house committees from meeting behind closed doors under any circumstances. This proposal is regarded as revolutionary by the regulars. The other resolution proposes an amendment to the new rule under which a committee may be discharged from further consideration of a given bill. Another hot fight over the rules of the house has occurred. In ruling on a rules resolution by Representative Fuller of Illinois the speaker held that the action taken by the house last spring when his power was broken after the famous battle over the Norris resolution "was not a precedent but a revolution." This defiance was answered by an appeal from the decision of the chair and the house sustained the speaker by a vote of 233 to 53. The progressive Republicans voted to overrule the speaker, but got little Democratic support. A series of caucuses are to be held by the Republicans of the house to determine on a plan of party action on the apportionment act, the ship subsidy bill and the Longworth bill providing for the creation of a permanent tariff commission. The administration is particularly interested in the tariff commission bill and the subsidy measure. Senator Beveridge has submitted a minority report in the Lorimer case, declaring "that this election was invalid under any possible view of the law. If the senate so concludes it is our duty so to declare. Therefore I submit the following resolution: 'Re A. B. SENATOR BEVERIDGE. solved, That William Lorimer was not duly and legally elected to a seat in the senate of the United States by the legislature of the state of Illinois." Before the report was fled Senator Lorimer made a brief speech declaring his innocence of bribery and the innocence of his friends of any participation in corrupt practices in connection with his election. Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire introduced a revised ocean mall subsidy bill which eliminates from present consideration all transpacific lines and applies only to the establishment of ocean mall services on routes to South America, south of the equator—that is, to Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru. The house of representatives has passed the Sulloway general pension bill, which grants pensions ranging from $12 to $36 a month to all soldiers who served ninety days in the United States army in the Civil war, or sixty days in the Mexican war, and who have reached the age of sixty-two years. In an exhaustive and specially prepared speech Senator Crawford (S. D.) denounced the alleged methods employed by agents of Senator Lorimer in the Illinois legislature and declared it his conviction that Mr. Lorimer was not entitled to retain his seat in the upper branch of congress. At a meeting of the senate committee on the judiciary a decision was reached to report favorably the subcommittee resolution authorizing an amendment to the Constitution to provide for the election of United States senators by direct vote. Testimony before the house committee on naval affairs tended to show that Captain Robert E. Peary had not succeeded in getting closer than a mile and a sixteenth of the North pole. The apportionment bill introduced by Chairman Crumpacker fixes the membership of the house at 443 WASHINGTON NEWS. President Taft has decided that commander C. S. Sims, the United States naval officer who at a recent dinner given in London by the mayor of that city, declared that if Great Britain ever was seriously threatened she could depend on "every man, every dollar, every drop of blood" in this country, should be publicly reprimanded. In his opening argument before the interstate commerce commission at Washington Louis D. Brendeis of Boston, on behalf of the shippers of the Atlantic seaboard, contended that the present rates charged shippers are ample, but that the expense of operation is excessive and the management unacquainted. UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Cut off from escape by flames which barred the exit from the house three little children, Gladys Roth, three years old; Andrew Roth, Jr., two years old, and Evelyn Roth, one year old, were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the cottage of Andrew Roth at Minneapolis. Mrs. Roth the twenty-three-year-old mother of the babies, is in the city hospital in a serious condition as the result of an heroic attempt to rescue the children from the flames. Minneapolis was plunged into darkness and its commercial life almost paralyzed by an explosion of the "13,000 wire" leading into the power plant of the Minneapolis General Electric company. The plant was wrecked and a tangled mass of wire, machinery and lumber was thrown in every direction by the force of the explosion. Fire followed and completed the demolition of the building. Three men were injured and the damage to the property is estimated at $500,000. Seventeen men were drowned in a wreck of three barges of the Reading railroad off Provincetown, Mass., according to officers of the three life-saving crews that made a frantic effort to reach them. They declare there were seven men on one barges and five on each of the other two. Entailing a loss of more than $1,000 Cincinnati sustained its second great fire within three weeks when the Chamber of Commerce building was destroyed. A dozen firemen were injured. Six deaths have occurred and many residents of the village of Telfener, in Victoria county, Tex., are ill as a result of eating bread made from flour containing poison. FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL The Carnegie Trust company, one of the largest banking institutions in New York city, with deposits of nearly $9,000,000, closed its doors by order of State Superintendent of Banks Cheney. The suspension hardly caused a ripple in the financial district, where the trust company was often reported in a shaky condition. The number of passengers that came to the United States via New York in 1910 as 1,104,000. Of these 770,000 came in the steerage and of this number it is estimated that over 700,000 were immigrants seeking homes in this country or Canada. A majority of the immigrants embarked from Mediterranean ports. Municipal funds of New York city amounting to more than $800,000 are tied up in the Northern bank and the Carnegie Trust company, closed as an indirect result of the operations of Joseph G. Robin, the fallen banker, now in the Tombs. Statistics show that losses by fire in the United States and Canada in 1910 amounted to $234,470,650, or over $30,000,000 more than the losses in 1909. December losses were exceptionally heavy, aggregating $21,528,000. James A. Farrell of Brooklyn is the choice of the finance committee of the United States Steel corporation to succeed William Ellis Corey as president of the corporation. The Washington-Alaska bank of Fairbanks, Alaska, which has $1,000,000 on deposit, has suspended payment. POLITICAL NEWS. United States Senator Isaac Stephenson is charged with a number of violations of the laws of Wisconsin in a lengthy statement filed with Governor McGovern by the 1909 state senate committee in its report on the investigation of the primary campaign and election of Senator Stephenson. The committee recommends that a copy of the report be submitted to the United States senate and that body investigate Mr. Stephenson's election. In spite of the bitterness of the late Democratic senatorial campaign in Ohio the victor, Lieutenant Governor Pomerene, was elected to the United States senate by the legislature. He received the vote of every Democratic member. Davis Elkins, son of the late United States Senator Stephen B. Elkins, has been appointed to the vacancy caused by the death of his father for the few days pending the election of a senator by the legislature. Iowa standup senators walked out of the Republican senate organization caucus when a motion was made to select a caucus committee empowered to call a caucus to nominate a senator to succeed Dollierv. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS An injunction restraining W. R. Johnson, special agent of the bureau of Indian affairs, from interfering with the liquor traffic under the provisions of the Indian cession treaty of 1855, was issued by Judge Willard of the United States circuit court at Minneapolis. The reasons given for the decision are sweeping in their character. If the decision holds there will be no more of the "federal Indian liquor ld" in Minnesota outside of the limits of the actual Indian reservations. The efforts of the indicted Chicago meat packers to have criminal prosecution against them nullified on the ground that the government has elected to proceed by injunction and the only course open is to cite them for contempt of court, came to nothing when Judge Carpenter of the United States district court at Chicago denied the motion of the packers and ordered a stay of ten days in which to enter further motions before pleading to the indictments. NEWS OF WORLD Important Events of the Week in Condensed Form. CRIMINAL NEWS. William Muzzary, aged twenty, and Algot Johnson, aged seventeen, discharged bellboy and night porter, respectively, of the Hotel McKay at Duluth, held up, robbed and shot at the night clerk and escaped with $50 belonging to the hotel. They were arrested by Policeman Chesmore and, while being taken to the lockup on a street car, one of them shot and killed the officer. They escaped, but were recaptured several hours later and are now behind the bars. J. D. S. Neeley, president of the Wichita Pipe Line company, president of the Lima (O.) Trust company and head of several large oil companies, was shot and killed in the Palace hotel at Caney, Kam., by Al O. Truskett, prominent business man of Caney. The shooting was the result of litigation over an oil lease. In a quarrel between Peter McCann of Rice Lake, Wis., and his son Walter, aged nineteen years, the son shot his father through the heart, killing him instantly. The father had choked his son and had torn a shirt nearly off the youth, when the latter broke away, secured a revolver and shot. Arms intertwined, and facing a mirror to watch their dying expressions, Mabel and isabella Boisseau, sisters, members of a prominent St. Louis family, drank carbolic acid in a confectionery store in that city. Mabel died a few hours later and her sister is not expected to live. John F. Deitz, defender of Cameron dam, was released from the Hayward (Wis.) jail following the approval of his bonds by Judge Riordan and on order of County Attorney Williams, the new prosecutor. One man was killed and two women and a child seriously injured in a bomb explosion due to the Black Hand at Paterson, N. J. A blast followed by a fire wrecked a double tenement on Scole street. THE DEATH RECORD. Commander John F. Luby of the protected cruiser Des Moines died on board that vessel Jan. 8 in the vicinity of Cape Verde islands. The navy department was advised of Commander Luby's death in a dispatch received from the executive officer of the Des Moines. Bronson Murray, a distinguished civil engineer in his day, who had charge of the surveys for the first and second lines of the Erie railroad in 1835-36 from New York to points far to the westward, is dead at New York in his ninety-third year. William G. Myers, past grand exalted ruler of the Order of Elks and said to be the original "Hello Bill" of that organization, died at his home in Philadelphia after a long illness. Mr. Meyers also was a prominent Mason. Charles J. Hughes, Jr., United States senator from Colorado, is dead at Denver after an illness extending over several months. Death is believed to have resulted from paralysis. Rev. Andrew Haagensen, prominent for many years as a preacher, editor and writer among the Norwegians of Chicago and vicinity, is dead. Mrs. Agres B. Quay, widow of Senator Matthew Stanley Quay, who died in 1904, is dead at her home near Pittsburgh. NEWS OF NOTED PERSONS Senator Clapp of Minnesota will probably succeed to the chairmanship of one of the most powerful committees in the senate organization as a result of the death of Senator Elkins of West Virginia. This is the committee on interstate commerce, which framed the original interstate commerce act and all the amendments to the law that have since been adopted. Captain Robert E. Peary retold the story of his trip to the frozen North at a hearing before a sub-committee of the house committee on naval affairs, the purpose being to furnish proof of his attainment of the North pole on April 6, 1809, in connection with pending legislation for national recognition of his achievements. President Taft is laboring with Northwestern representatives in an effort to induce them to support the pending subsidy bill, which is designed to encourage ocean mail carriage between the United States and ports of South America. This measure in the past has been quite generally opposed by Northwestern members. James J. Hill has offered to give Willamette university, Salem, Ore., $50,000 in cash as an endowment fund, contingent upon the raising of an additional $250,000. FOREIGN NEWS. The central station of the entire electric and telephone plant of Santiago, Chile, was destroyed by fire. Ten Pullman cars, including the presidential cars, were burned. The loss was estimated at $2,000,000. Forty persons were killed and five injured when a landslide overwhelmed a gang of laborers at Castro Urdiales, Spain, burying them all beneath a mass of earth and rock. Many fatalities were caused by an explosion in a gunpowder factory at San Martin, Argentina. Defective Po ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR. Mrs. Anna B. Harris, Grand District Deputy, installs and organizes Chapters of The O. E. Star. Please to consult any one interested. Residence 285 Rondo St., St. Paul, Minn. It is very essential, under prevailing circumstances that we should seek higher degrees in Masonry. It gives us the desired light, as how to aid our Brethren for the service of God, and the betterment of mankind. Recognizing in our highest privilege "The Fatherhood of God" and make "All the Living, Living for All." This cardinal principle makes itself manifest amongst its members of the highest degree; far more than amongst those of the symbolic degree taking the advantage you have into consideration. Now, then, if my love and interest for the order prompted me to go through the Blue Lodge or Symbolic degrees and I becoming favorably impressed why should I not get more on the same order? And why should you not get more on the same order? An opportunity will present itself early in 1911. If I should live and nothing happens there will be a Royal Arch Chapter, and a Commandery of Knight Templars, organized in Minneapolis. Master Masons in good standing, "Govern yourself accordingly." As a Mason's work is never done we can only do our best in regard to leading to the "Good of Universal Brotherhood." Our Sublime object.

Stepladder, Ironing Board and Clothes Rack. 3 The handy household device herewith shown combines a stepladder, ironing board and clothes rack. What would ordinarily be the back support of the stepladder is in this case an ironing board, and when the structure is used for ironing the ladder is leaned against a table, and the short end of the supporting leg, which is pivoted near the top of the ladder, is inserted under the table edge, providing ample support for ordinary weight on the long end of the board. Near the top of the stepladder, too, is pivoted a clothes rack device which can be extended to provide a handy rack on which to hang the clothes as they are ironed. The whole thing folds up to take no more room than an ordinary stepladder. Gumbe Soup. The leftover bones and meat of the roast turkey or fowl may be made into a tasty gumbo soup. Cook a large onion that has been sliced thin in a tablespoonful of butter until it is a golden brown and then turn in half a can of tomatoes, quarter of a cupful of rice, some lean ham cut into pieces and a sweet red pepper. Simmer for half an hour and add a couple of drops of tabasco sauce and salt. Cover the saucepan and simmer for about three hours. Have on hand a quart of chicken or turkey stock made by boiling the bones of the bird until they fall apart. Just before serving strain the soup and add some of the chicken or turkey meat cut fine. Fried Welsh Rabbit. Grate a small cup of fresh American cheese and thoroughly mix with it half a teaspoon of dry mustard, salt, pepper and paprika. Take a piece of butter the size of a walnut, a teaspoon of table sauce and work through the cheese, making the whole into a paste and, if necessary, adding enough cream to make it about the consistency of soft butter. Spread this on thin slices of bread and press other slices on top, making a sandwich. When ready to serve beat an egg with an equal amount of milk. Have the blazer hot, dip the sandwiches quickly in the egg and milk and fry a delicate brown in plenty of butter. Laundering Eoru Curtains. Take a heaping tablespoonful of yellow ocher powder and mix in a small bowl of cold water, just as you would if you were using flour to thicken something. Make the starch and when a little cool add the ocher mixture, a little at a time, until you have the right color. Dip each curtain separately, stirring thoroughly before putting in the next one. Do not try to starch too many, curtains with one bowful, so as to have them all an even color. When the article does not require starching put the ocher into the rinsing water. English Mincemeat One-half pound white beef suet, chopped extra fine; two pounds apples, chopped; one pound sugar, one pound seeded raisins, one pound sultana raisins, one pound currants, one-half pound citron cut in thin slices, candied orange and lemon peel, one-quarter pound each; chopped maraschino cherries, chopped, one-half pound; cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves and mace, one tablespoon each; one-half pint sherry, one-half pint brandy. This will keep for years. No cooking until put in pies. Rice Molasses Pie. Stir a teaspoonful of soda into a cupful and a half of New Orleans mollasses and when it bubbles all through add half a cupful of hot boiled rice that has been mashed smooth, a cupful of sour cream, a tablespoonful of butter and three well beaten eggs. Bake between two crusts. This recipe makes two pies. Westphalia Leaves. Mix one-quarter pound of minced ham with one pound of mashed potatoes well beaten until light; add a tablespoonful of melted butter, two tablespoonfuls of cream and two eggs. Form into balls and fry until a light brown. Serve with thick brown gravy. Stuffed Tomatoes. A tablespoonful of onion and a little minced parsley fried in butter and then stirred together with the hot boiled rice or breadcrumbs and cold minced chicken or other meat which is to fill stuffed tomatoes do much for their flavor. TWIN CITY STAR HUMOROUS QUIPS First I asked her if she loved me, And she shyly hung her head, And her cheeks took on a mantle Of a luscious rosy red. Then she dropped over a tride, 'Neath her lashes darkly hid, And she murmured in a whisper That she really guessed she did. Then I asked her would she wed me, And her blushes came once more, And the sigh that then she uttered Thrilled me to the very core. I repeated then the question, And her answer it was good. For the whisper that came tripping Showed she surely guessed she would. But, alas, she wed another Ere the winter season went, And I sought an explanation What her ways flirtatious meant. And she was a woman, And the same old thrill of pain As she gave the same old whisper That she guessed she'd guessed again. —Harper's Weekly. The Philosopher Reports. However, the philosopher came in with two deer and altogether unwounded. "How did you do it?" they all inquired. "Get the deer?" "No. How did you get them without getting shot yourself?" "Oh," he said, "that was not very difficult! Instead of wearing a red coat or something of that sort I simply buckled a pair of deer horns on my head and reduced all the other hunters to such a state of excitement that nobody could hit me." -St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Madam, may I ask you to remove your hatpin?" "Sir, you are rude!" "Doubtless, madam, doubtless, but the discomfort of standing in a swaying car with your hatpin through the rim of my ear must be my excuse. Perhaps my ear is too large anyhow." —Philadelphia Ledger.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP Now that there is no good heavyweight left for him to fight in this country and tired of hurling challenges at Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, the colored heavyweight of Boston, will invade the foreign field. Langford announced recently he would sail for London Jan. 7 and take on the best that could be found in England and France. Parisians are anxious to see Sam McVey, the colored giant who has made a great record for himself in France, meet Langford. As Hugh McIntosh is making an effort to match the men, the bout is sure to be held. If Langford is in good shape he should experience little difficulty in stowing away McVey. Jack Johnson Plans Fight Club Tired of being arrested for scorching as his only relaxation between fights and lawsuits, John Arthur Johnson, heavyweight champion, plans to break into the limelight as the promoter of a new fight and wrestling club in Chicago which, if it comes through, he will run on the lines of straight membership. Johnson is negotiating for the purchase of a hall as the home of the Johnson club to be. "My idea," said Johnson recently, "is to attempt to revive boxing in Chicago and to give people a chance to see athletic entertainments at a fair rate. I do not believe there is any law which can prevent contests held on this plan. I would also like to pull off a few wrestling matches." Amateur Fencers' League. The annual schedule of the Amateur Fencers' League of America has been sent out by the secretary, W. Scott O'Connor, and this time it is longer than ever, covering a period of six months, from December till May. The list contains the entire fixtures for seven divisions, and these, with New York, are New England, Long Island, eastern Pennsylvania, Michigan, Maryland and Illinois. The final bouts in the national championship will be held in the gymnasium of the New York Athletic club April 21 and 22 next, and in each division the three highest men with each weapon will be eligible for these bouts. Tommy Burns Has New Champ Tommy Burns, who has been scouring the country about his Seattle training camp for suitable sparring partners, is said to be so pleased with a young boxer's work that he intends to manage the man. Jack Lester is the protege, and he has been installed in Burns' camp as a sparring partner. Lester is a promising heavyweight. Burns will take him to London and match him for bouts in Europe. Harvard to Play Penn Nine. Harvard and Pennsylvania will meet on the diamond in 1912. Two games have been arranged between the two nines.

Do not let it be said that your word is as good as your bond and thats worth nothing at all. Make you word good and see how your bond will improve in value. Doing right because it is right is not good policy if that is as far as your reasons go. You should do right because you want to be right and because it is according to Divine intention and is not merely the result of human mental conclusions. There are a lot of people who "do right because it is right" that are simply afraid to do wrongs they want to do. CRIME INCREASING. The lawbreakers among our race have had their share of publicity, and many have earned their punishment. This is the state of affairs, and the condition will grow worse unless there is some effort made to stop this wave of crime. We are ashamed to say that there is "nothing doing" so far as humane societies or missionary workers in these parts, and that when a man commits a crime he has no consideration from that class, who are in a position to elevate him. RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Colored Americans having been permitted to be disfranchised in the Southern States under Republican rule. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats upon the Supreme Court of the United States. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats in the Cabinet by President Taft. The declaration of President Taft that he would appoint no colored man to office who may be objectionable to the white people. Race discrimination permitted upon the railroads South, and the enactment of "Jim Crow" car laws. The removal of Southern colored office holders in the South from office and the appointment of Democrats and ex-Confederates in their stead. With such a record for the Republican party to go to the country on in 1912 to capture the colored vote will be bound to be effective. The colored voters throughout the country have opened their eyes, and between now and 1912 they will keep them open.—The Bee, Wash. D. C. If it's in the Star, it's right. The time has come for the colored man and woman to do something for himself or herself. When we can have our own department stores, we can then employ many of our boys and girls who graduate from our high and normal schools. Conditions are such, at this time, that make the colored people purchasers, renters and builders by suffrage. The white man says that he will not sell colored people goods, or manufacture them for colored people. What becomes of our boasted independence? What can you do about it? The colored man doesn't exercise his independence with his ballot, which he controls. What can we do to those who control our commodities? Let us reflect for a few moments. —The Washington Bee. The Pullman Co., should add a "Brace of Colts" and an Army Krag to their Overland Porter's equipment. They instruct them to "Keep Awake" and "Guard their Cars." No man in the employ of the railroad needs protection more than the porter. White Friends Rescue Colored Women From Clutches of Police. The Charleston (S. C.) Messenger, under date of Dec. 24, 1910 ssa: under date of Dec. 24, 1910, says: "Conditions are improving for the Negro in the south, and right here last week we saw evidences of the remarkable change for the better that is going on. One week ago a policeman, suspecting a certain colored house, went there to arrest a woman and broke open the door to do so. The woman had done nothing, but submitted and went to the lockup with the officer. "There she gave ball for the charge of disorderly conduct and returned home, feeling deeply the outrage of an illegal arrest. She made known her troubles to her white neighbors, who kindly took the matter up, caused an investigation by the police committee of the city council and produced sufficient testimonies from surrounding neighbors to prove that the officer exceeded his authority in making the arrest. "In the meantime she was tried by the mayor and fined $20 for disorderly conduct, but at a meeting of the town council Friday night a motion was made to remit the fine. The mayor assisted in putting the motion, but he was forced to do so, and the motion was carried. "The matter stirred up the council for awhile, and the mayor threatened to resign. But the fine was returned, justice prevailed and matters have again assumed their equilibrium. 'His truth is marching on.'" DETERMINED TO SUCCEED. Segregation Ordinance Cannot Stop Race Progress in Baltimore. In speaking editorially of the effect of the west segregation ordinance upon the progress of the colored people of Baltimore the Afro-American Ledger of Dec. 31 last says: "As we see it just at this time and for the coming year, the colored people of this city do not intend to be set back one inch by any segregation or other kind of measure that may be passed to do them an injury. "We have started up the hill of progress and we are not going to stop for barking of dogs that may be met on our passage up. "Perhaps during no year in the history of the colored people of this city was more property bought than during the past year." "The incoming year will probably be a record breaker, the segregation ordinance notwithstanding. We are going to buy property, and we are going to live in it, and the authorities are not going to disturb us in possession of it either." THE COLONIAL GUARDIAN. New Publication in the Interest of Interracial Union. The Hinds Publishing company is announcing its new publication, the Colonial Guardian, which is to be issued monthly, beginning with the January number, says in consequence of the growing connection between the members of the colored race at home and abroad the object of the Colonial Guardian is to voice the sentiments of such a connection, as there is no such publication extant for that purpose. The new periodical will deal largely with the progress and development of the colored people in the United States and those in the West Indies, defending also the interests of colored persons throughout the world. Both colored Americans and West Indians will contribute to its pages. E. St. Clair Hinds, editor and proprietor of the paper, is a practical printer by trade, having had considerable experience in the business before coming to the United States. AFRO-AMERICAN VOTERS. Important Part Which They Are Taking In Political Affairs. In the fight for honest elections that is now being waged by the different political organizations it is a noteworthy fact that the Afro-American is playing a large and important part, says the Portland (Ore.) Advocate. There was a time when, no matter what the manner of the election was or the man to head the ticket, if he bore the stamp of "G. O. P." he was certain of no questions asked by his colored colleague and receiving his vote in the bargain. But that is all changed, and now to obtain the assistance, whether small or great, of the Afro-American one must bear the stamp of honesty, capability and a near equilibrium to justice rather than the stamp of any political party or faction. Has Taft Deserted William H. Lewis Since it seems a certainty that President Taft is not going to appoint the Hen. William H. Lewis as an assistant United States attorney general, as was announced previous to the election last November, there are other positions of trust and honor to which the president might assign Mr. Lewis. Some consideration is due Mr. Lewis for the embarrassing position in which the administration has left him. Rose City Lodge's New Officers. The newly installed officers of Rose City lodge, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Portland, Ore., for 1011 are the following: J. Manley, exalted ruler; L. H. Dawley, leading knight; W. D. Allen, loyal knight; A. Lewis, lecturing knight; Lew Hubbard, secretary; A. Ballard, treasurer; J. Prescott, tiler; trustees, V. Keene, E. Richardson and George Billston. TWIN CITY STAR AFRO-AMERICANS HONOR LINCOLN Lincoln Emancipation Association Conducts an Overflow Meeting In Commemoration of the issuance of Immortal Document Which Freed Millions of Bondmen—Poem by Mrs. Cera W. Powell. Chief among the large number of interesting events in Brooklyn on Monday, Jun. 2, was the overflow celebration commemorating the Forty-seventh anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation held in the auditorium of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ. The exercises were held under the auspices of the Lincoln Emancipation association, of which William C. Henry is president. Counselor Francis F. Gilles presided. The emancipation proclamation was read by Wayman D [Name] Williams. Mrs. Cora W. Powell read a poem entitled "The Day We Celebrate," and Charles B. Coles rendered a pleasing vocal solo. Revs. Holland Powell and J. H. Gordon also took part in the proceedings, and there were songs sung by a delegation of children from the Brooklyn Howard Orphan asylum. The orator of the day was the Rev. Dr. William Maurice Moss, whose theme was "God's Hand as Seen In the Negro's History." He said in part: This forty-seventh anniversary of the encyclopedia proclamation affords an elevated viewpoint from which to observe the Negro's advent, treatment, freedom and progress in this country. He, as all races, is human, created by Almighty God in keeping with his teachings in Acts of the Apostles xvii, 27, 28 "God's Hand as Seen In the Negro's History," and made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth." The eight commandment, "Thou shalt not steal," was violated when the first twenty Negroes were stolen and sold as slaves from the Dutch man-of-war in 1815 in the Dutch colony of New York. Standing curse are still being respept. This sin cannot be covered, but must be repented of. Armies can't shoot it out. Naval forces can't drown it. Political trickery is an imperfect cloak for it. Conventionally, the enemy has the place of redress, which is the throne of God. This is the court for the nation's prayer. The Negro in this country is the problem north and south, east and west, as long as he is legislated against. If he is not legislated against, he is politic there is no Negro problem. He is here and cannot be exterminated. He has been dragged through the iron mills of slavery. In the furnace of fire they afflicted him from 1619 to 1833, a period of 34 years. In this period he was forced to work in the iron mills of slavery and letters was a crime. His privilege to serve God was by permission. you to multiplied. "If God be for us who can be against us?" The Negro was possessed with an inborn feeling that at some time and in time he would be prayed through generations to that end. The smoldering fires burned, with occasional outbreaks in efforts for freedom, such as (1) Nat Turner's uprise Aug. 21, 1851, who, with twenty odd men, shed the body to house, alming to throw off the yoke. (2) John Brown's Harper's Ferry actions, Oct. 17, 1859, were hericole in the same interest. He was put to death on Dec. 2 of the same year, but his many struggle for freedom immortalized him in American folklore. The underground railroad, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Henry Hyland Garnet, Frederick Douglass and many others too numerous to mention formed chapters of the signs of the times. The Negroes' prayers have always been effective. Through them God touched the lives of many presidents of the United States in the period Abraham Lincoln, who signed the emancipation proclamation Jan. 1, 1863. From then until now special legislation has been enacted for his detriment and to crush from him his manhood, pushed him to the brink of despair. He organised out the market of bread winning by labor unions, given the smallest wages and roughest work and segregated in many cities. In the face of all this it can be truthfully said there is not known to history a race on the face of the earth that made Canada much plurient thind similar circumstances in forty-seven years as the Negro. This is true in the business world and every line of profession. Do not be satisfied with so little of this world's goods; do not be satisfied with so much patience and greater confidence in God.
