MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SIX DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL Defective Page BECKER'S FATE IN HIGHEST COURT Man Who Sent Him to Death House Has Pardon'Power. NO COMMENT BY GOVERNOR Prisoner Has Been Quoted as Saying That He Will Not Ask His Nemesis For Clemency — Reports That He Would Reveal Other Graft Doubted. Case Now In Federal Court. New York.—The taking of the case of Charles Becker to the United States supreme court will automatically act as a stay, and the execution will not take place on the date set. But if Becker loses in the highest court in the land he will find himself in a peculiar situation. He will be called on in the event of an unfavorable decision by this court to go to the death chair without asking clemency or will have to appeal to the one man responsible for his conviction. Charles Whitman was district attorney at the time of the two Becker trials, and it was his activities in this case that won him fame and kept his name constantly before the public. Whitman stubbornly fought for the convictions, which he won. He was convinced from the outset that Becker was guilty and spared no pains in fighting the case to a successful termination. Becker has been quoted as saying that he will not ask the governor for any quarter, that he will go to the Photo by American Press Association. CHARLES BECKER. chair rather than ask a favor of the man who prosecuted him. The situation is one that is very trying on the man. Governor Whitman has not stated what he would do if a petition for clemency should be formally presented to him. The governor granted a brief respite to Becker because he was scheduled to be in the west on the date the court set for the execution and asserted at the time that he would not consider the matter until after his return. It now appears that Becker is in a mood to tell what he knows of graft in New York for a commuted sentence, whereas if nothing is to be gained by "equaling" he is resolved to die game. Those at first inclined to doubt the accuracy of the report that Becker is ready to use any means he has to save himself are now convinced that this may be the case, and interest now centers upon whether or not what Becker has to tell is worth enough to the state to warrant giving him his life. At the office of District Attorney Perkins it has been officially announced that no confession Becker can make will help him, as evidence against police officials or former police officials could result in their punishment for only a year or two in jail. The official announcement points out that it would not be serving the ends of justice to save Becker from the chair just to send another man or other men to prison for awhile. This is the reiterated view of the prosecutor's office. Becker, whose nights immediately after the appeal was denied were spent in tortured anxiety, eats and sleeps better. He has better control of himself during the visits of his wife. According to Deputy Warden Johnson. Becker is showing a change for the better. He takes his exercise vigorously and again is an enthusiast for handball. He had been reading aloud to the other men in the death house the most interesting newspaper accounts of the war's progress. After the appeal was denied he stopped this diversion. Found Ring Lost Forty Years Long Beach, Cal.-Mrs. Andrew F. Mitchell, wife of the pastor of the First Friends church, was notified by letter recently that her wedding ring, lost in a pig pen forty years ago on their farm in Park county, Ind., had been found. When the Mitchells moved away from the farm, having sold it, they asked the couple who succeeded them to keep a sharp lookout for the ring, but they had long since given up the ring as lost. CUPID BROKE UP CLUB. St. Paul Bachelor Girls' Club Is Now a Name Only. St. Paul—The Bachelor Girls' club of St. Paul danced itself out of existence at the armory, Sixth and Exchange streets, after ten of the original thirteen members had fallen before the marksmanship of Dan Cupid. It was the twelfth and last dance given by the club, and at the stroke of 1 a few mornings ago the last vestige of the club as an organization vanished like Cinderella under the spell of the fairy. The club was organized five years ago, and the members, bound by solemn oaths of bachelorhood, remained intact for a time. Cupid battered at the ramparts, and one after another of the members capitulated until five alone were left. Suddenly two of these fell, and a double wedding announcement carried dismay to the hearts of the remaining three. GERMANS HAVING BULLY TIME Nothing to Do but Enjoy Life, and Norfolkers Are Helping Them. Norfolk, Va.—The craws of the German auxiliary cruisers Eltel Friedrich and Kronprins Wilhelm, interned at this port, are enjoying life to its fullest. Besides numerous entertainments accorded to officers and crews, the men are living a life of luxurious idleness. Their chief vocation at this time is pleasure-pleasure day and night. They spend most of their time in Norfolk in the early hours of the day. In the afternoon they go to Virginia Beach, Ocean View and other nearby resorts. They smoke good cigars, eat the best and appear to have plenty of money. Barring a few cases of berberl on the Kronprins, they are a healthy lot. The men have been taken into the homes of a number of citizens and entertained, and special services have been held for them in Protestant churches. They are made to feel at home. They appear on the streets in white uniforms with blue stripes and white hats. They are as neat as new pins, and their conduct is perfect. They roam the streets arm in arm with American bluejackets and visit the best theaters and other public resorts. They are beginning to love the great American game. Several hundred of them attended a baseball game in Portsmouth and rose up and cheered a player who drove the ball over the fence for a home run. Whether they understood the game or just followed the Americans who stood up and cheered, no one but themselves knew. But there is a movement on foot to organize two baseball teams out of the crews—one on the Eitel and another on the Kromprinz—and some of the men are practicing daily. They have spent over $200 for equipment. A little short chap whom the American sailors call "Buelow" drove a ball over the sea wall in a practice game. Speakers at Sociological Congress.

The club is raising a fund in aid of the fresh air camp, which is conducted in the summer at Oak Hill. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. SUBMARINE BASE OFF IRISH COAST? NAVAL MEN DOUBT THEORY Submerged Tanks In Inlets Could Furnish Gasoline to Undersea Craft. However, Torpedoes Must Be Repainted and Crews Must Have Rest Off the Boats. Washington—Speculation as to the Germans having established secret submarine bases in isolated coves along the Irish coast was revived in semi-official circles in Washington by the publication of a dispatch from Crookhaven, Ireland, which told of a submarine having been sighted and fired upon near that place. For some time there has been a strong belief here that there have been secret submarine bases of this character somewhere along the western or southwestern coasts of Ireland. It was definitely ascertained, however, that no information had been received by the navy department from its intelligence sources abroad confirming the discovery of any of the supposed secret bases. If there are any such bases the indentations in the shores of Ireland may have been conveniently utilized by the Germans for that purpose. In the absence, however, of definite knowledge that such a base has been established, well informed naval officers cast doubt on this explanation of the facility with which German submarines have been able to operate in the stretch of water between Fastnet rock, the first lighthouse seen by transatlantic passengers bound for Queenstown and Liverpool, and Bishop's rock, where they catch their first glimpse of a lighthouse when going to Southampton. Naval officers apparently are agreed on one point—that none of the submarines that have attacked merchant ships off the south and west coasts of Ireland have gone to those sections of the German naval war zone around the British isles by way of the strait of Dover or the English channel. The British have so effectively protected the approach to the English channel by a mine field extending from Ostend to the entrance to the Thames that no German warship, floating or submarine, has yet been shown to have passed that obstruction. Naval officers here do not believe that submarines could successfully pass through this mine field. They also point to the announcement recently made in parliament that England had been able successfully to transport about 750,000 soldiers from England to France and Belgium across the channel without the loss of a single transport or the death of a single man during the cross channel journey. If German submarines were able to go to the south coast of Ireland by the channel route and there sink merchant ships, it is pointed out, the same submarines could have sunk British troopships, which would be of greater military advantage to Germany than the mere sinking of merchant ships, which carry only noncombatants. With the English channel approach to the west and south coasts of Ireland as well as to the Scilly isles closed, the German submarines would have to take the North sea and north of Scotland route to the western shores of the British isles. Having once sent submarines to the Irish coast, it was said here, the Germans might obviate the long journey around Scotland, to and from Ireland and Germany, by establishing secret bases on the Irish coast, and the theory is very strong that this has been done. The naval experts, however, believe that the submarines have made the journey back and forth around Scotland. One high naval officer said that the Germans were known to have submarines with a steaming radius of 4,000 or 5,000 miles, which could easily negotiate the long journey. It was suggested to him that if there were secret bases on the Irish coast there might be submerged tanks of gasoline which the submarines could visit at night, raising them to replenish their fuel supply and then sinking them again, and that it was easy to imagine that they have constructed large tanks that could be towed under water. This officer admitted that this was possible, though he did not believe it had been done. He said that the use of such tanks was proposed some time ago to this government, but he believed, in the light of a great deal of information that he had received, that the German submarines were not following the secret base practice. He pointed out that it was necessary for submarines to replenish their supplies of torpedoes, something that could not be done from a secret base as easily as replenishing gasoline stock, and that, what was even more important, the work of the men who operated German submarines was so exacting and the strain upon them so terrific that it would be necessary for the crews to return to their German bases after their raids to recuperate. This officer also said that, while it was barely possible that the Germans might be making use of some remote island or cove, there were too many persons on watch around the Irish coast for such bases to remain easily a secret.

Miss Simpson Is Class Salutatorian. BY CLEMENT RICHARDSON. Tuskegee, Ala. — Tuskegee institute closed its thirty-fourth annual commencement season in the institute chapel the last week in May with an able address by Bishop Williams of Augusta, Ga., and by awarding more than 200 diplomas to regular graduates, special students and postgraduates. The season, as usual, began with a lawn party by the ten literary societies of the school. This was followed by an intersociety declaration contest, in which one representative from each club speaks for one of three prizes offered by the executive council. The march to the chapel was one long and imposing line of trustees, executive council, teachers, alumni and students, who wound their way from the battalion grounds through the campus, down the hollow past White hall, around by the John A. Andrew hospital to the chapel. Here an eloquent sermon was delivered by Bishop Theodore D. Bratton of Jackson, Miss. A Tuskegee Sabbath is commonly a very full day, but owing to the long march preceding the usual commencement sermon the activities were curtailed. Beginning with Monday each day had its special commencement function, while of course classes and industries continued to run. Monday marked the close of Phelps hall Bible school. The commencement exercises were held at night. This year the graduating class has been making a special survey of Macon county Sunday school work. Stories and slides showed how intimately these future Christian workers had gone into homes as well as into churches with their endeavors. This work is under the direction of Rev. G. Lake Imes, dean of Phelps hall Bible training school. On Tuesday afternoon came the girls' exhibition in gymnastics, under the direction of Miss Ruth Logan. Miss Logan this year made a specialty of games; hence the exhibition consisted in a large variety of games, which served to develop in the student quickness of mind and limb along with proper breathing and physical endeavor. Commencement day is a gala day at Tuskegee institute, a gala day for the people from the towns round about and especially for the people in the country. Daybreak finds them on their way to "the Normal," as they call Tuskegee. Sunrise finds a chain of vehicles rolling into the campus and filling in the hollow set apart for the visitors to tie their horses. They pack the chapel, fill the lawn and walks until one finds the school transformed into a crowded city. Everything is done to make these people feel that it is their day. Booths are erected, farm exhibits up and a program shaped largely for their benefit. This year, for example, a young woman, Miss Addie May Simpson, the salutatorian, showed how to serve a home breakfast out of the garden. Miss Antonia Brandi demonstrated to the audience short cuts in laundering, and Jerry Jarmon discussed methods of eradicating the cottick in the south. In every case the plan was to give the people some real instruction to take back home. The exercises closed with Bishop Williams' address, which goes down as one of the best of its kind delivered at the school. The following program was rendered after music and prayer: Saltutary, "Serving a Breakfast" (illustrated), Addie May Simpson, Waycross, Ga. "Carpentry For the Home" (illustrated), Lewis Warren Driver, Troy, Ala. "Modern Home Laundering" (illustrated), Brandi, Cayes, Porto Rico, Music, choir.

Turner, senior bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church, brought prominently to the public mind the great part that men of the race connected with the African Methodist Episcopal church have played in the religious, educational and economic advance of the race. It also focused attention on the fact that when the denomination holds its general conference at Philadelphia in May, 1916, it will have rounded out a century of beneficent existence. Founded by Richard Allen as a protest against race discrimination rampant in the white church more than a century ago, it has steadily grown until it is one of the leading religious denominations among our people managed solely by them. Then there are Bishop Daniel A. Payne, pioneer in advocating an educated ministry and lathy; Wayman, Arnett, Shorter, Campbell, Ward, Brown and others who have gone ahead to await the coming of such men as the recently deceased Bishop Turner. These men did not enjoy the early advantages of an education such as are open to the race now, but they had the vision that would make the road of those who came after them less rocky. Stalwart, canable minis- REV. L. N. BOSS, D. D. ters all over the land are seen as the results of their devotion to the church. Among the many men who have drunk in the wisdom of the fathers of the church and shown marked capability along all lines is the Rev. I. N. Ross, D. D., pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. church, Baltimore. He is now favorably considered as available and suitable timber for the bishopric. Dr. Ross is a native of Tennessee, and three of his older brothers, now deceased, were active ministers in the denomination. The brothers were the Rev. W. P. Ross, founder of the Divinity high school, now Edward Waters college, Jacksonville, Fla.; the Rev. O. P. Ross, at the time of his death dean of Campbell college, Jackson, Miss., and the Rev. A. H. Ross, one of the founders of Wayman institute, Harrodburg, Ky. Dr. Ross has been a minister since 1880, when he joined the Ohio conference. He has successfully pastored in a number of conferences and entertained the general conference when it met at St. Paul's church, Columbus, O., in 1900. While stationed in Ohio he pursued advanced courses at Oberlin college. It is not only as an orator that he is known, but as a revivalist and financier. He built the Wiley Avenue church, Pittsburgh, and was stationed at Big Bethel church, Atlanta, before being sent to Metropolitan church, Washington, six years ago. He has been a delegate to a number of general conferences of his denomination and though not a delegate four years ago received a most flattering vote for the episcopacy. Since his recent election as one of the six ministers to represent the Baltimore A. M. E. conference at the next general conference he has received flattering offers of support for the bishopric from influential churchmen in various sections of the country. Impertinent.

Francis, Vacates the Verdict of the Jury and Orders Judg- ment in Favor of Pilgrim Baptist Church. After hearing counsel for the respective parties and after inspecting the files and the minutes of the trial Judge made at the trial. ORDERED, that the motion of the defendant for an order vacating the verdict of the defendant for not understanding the verdict he entered in favor of said defendant Pilgrim Baptist Church is granted and said judgment is ordered accordingly WILLIAM LOUIS KELLY. District Judge. Dated at St. Paul. June 2 A. M. 1915. MEMORANDUM. The plaintiff pastor of the defendant congregation at a salary of $100.00 per month, until May 15, 1914, on which date he was dismissed by the congregation in full, but, claiming that he was entitled to three months' notice of his dismissal he brings this action for three months' salary. He had a verdict for $123.25 and defendant moves for judgment. Even if a custom of this sort, requiring three months' notice from the congregation, plaintiffs dispense with the services he迷你 such notice when on January 11th, 1914, more than three months before his dismissal on May 15th, 1914, the church officers in the city were not aware of it's authority demanded his resignation. No special form of notice was necessary and by this demand plaintiff received over the course of the year that the jury perhaps felt that a man of plaintiff's profession should have notice of the congregations desire to change it's pastorate, and the reason that employ- ers of this character is sometimes difficult to readily obtain. The facts in this case which lead to plaintiff's dismissal were not before the judge to suspect plaintiff being aware of the complication made timely provision before. In any event, I am satisfied that taking the most favorable view of plaintiff's case, he has no just and legal claim against the plaintiff, and the salary which he never earned and never intended to earn. For this reason, if none other, that plaintiff received more notice of the intention to dispense with his services before it acted. KELLY, J. Filed June 3rd, 1915. MATT JENNESK, CERK. By G. P.

Headquarters In New York, but District Bases Are to Be Located In Other Cities—Plane For 1,500 Landing Stations In All Parts of the Country—Other Schemes For Defense. New York—The Aero-Military Service Federation of America; a volunteer organization of which August Belmont is president general and Mortimer Delano deputy president general, has announced the proposed formation of a national reserve of aviation volunteers for use in case of war. The program outlined by Mr. Delano contemplated the establishment of district bases in New York, Richmond, Chicago. St Louis and San Fransisco, with twenty- W eight aero squadron centers and 1,500 landing stations scattered from coast to coast. Mr. Delano explained that under the federal law at present there is no authorization for the formation of an aviation regiment and that therefore his organization is a provisional body. He says efforts will be made to have the next congress authorize the First Aviation corps, the formation of which is the ultimate purpose of the Aero-Military federation. The federation also plans a propaganda to urge upon congress federal control of all aviation. The prospectus of the organization says its purposes are patriotic and educational. The membership is divided into three classes, aviators, officers of the United States army and navy and civilians who are unable to serve in an aviation corps. Mr. Delano said that in about 50 percent of the squadron branches had been formed and were busy recruiting. He expects a membership of 25,000 in three months. When this is reached he plans the establishment of the hundreds of landing stations to make aviation easier and safer in all parts of the country. About three years ago Mr. Delano attempted the formation of a similar organization, which lapsed into desuetude. Mr. Delano credits this to circumstances over which he had no control, and says that now, with the awakened spirit for national defense, citizens in all parts of the country will join the federation. Lindley M. Garrison, secretary of war, received a letter from Alan R. Hawley, president of the Aero Club of America, in which it is proposed that the government establish a squadron of eight aeroplanes at Governors island for the defense of this city. Whenever accounts of aerial attacks on cities appear in the news the Aero club receives inquiries from residents of New York asking how the city would be defended by aeroplanes. The aerial attack upon Venice by Austrian aviators, who flew to Venice from a base more than 100 miles away," said Mr. Hawley, "and the recent fight near Brussels, when twenty-seven aeroplanes defended that city from an attack of a Zeppelin, have increased the number of inquiries. The attacks upon cities and ships by aeroplanes which start from distant bases and the use of aeroplanes for range finding compel people to realize that aerial attacks could be made upon New York by aeroplanes starting from ships fifty or a hundred miles at sea, and large guns, delivering 2,190,000 foot tons of metal per minute at a range of 20,000 yards, and aided by aeroplanes, would quickly reduce any coast defense not adequately protected. "The east is entirely without aeronautical protection. The military centers have no aeroplanes. The troops have never maneuvered with aeroplanes and the men behind the coast defense guns have no aerial eyes to give them their accurate range. I submit that this is an unnatural and checking condition. I deem it my duty to urge that steps be taken immediately to provide aeroplanes for the defense of this part of the country." ARCHDUCHESS AT THE FRONT. Daughter of Austrian Commander In Chief Meads Red Crown Corps Chief Heads Red Cross Corps. Vienna.—The Archduchess Isabella, daughter of Archduke Frederick, commander in chief of the Austrian forces, is now seeing actual service at the battle front. She is head of one of the Austrian Red Cross corps and spends a great deal of time at her father's headquarters. The Austrian Red Cross is an admi- tably organized body of workers and + ARGEDUKE FREDERICK AND DAUGHTER, INABELLA, AT FRONT. is carrying on its humane work in a quiet but very effective manner. Archduke Frederick has been one of the most conspicuous figures in the war. He has been directing the operations against both the Russians and Italians and is now confronted by another emergency, the possible entrance of Roumania into the war on the side of the allies. It is stated that the Roumanian army consists of 1,000,000 well trained and well armed men, who will be stationed along a 600 mile front in event of her participation in hostilities. DINOSAUR FOUND BY A DENVER MAN Grand Junction, Colo. — Coming to Grand Junction to examine the skeleton of the dinosaur found south of the city recently, Professor J. D. Figgins of the City Park museum in Denver found another while searching the hills. He expects to have it excavated and removed to Denver to be mounted in the museum. Professor Figgins, with two guides, viewed the pile of bones of the petrified dinosaur recently located and found the bones much scattered and disintegrated. Some were carried away by specimen hunters. He found several hard, round rocks which he declared to be the stones a dinosaur swallowed to grind food with, as a chicken swallows pebbles. He kept on the trail and soon found small silvers of bone and a large joint sticking out of the ground. He staked the place and returned to Grand Junction and states that he will immediately start the work of having the huge skeleton uncovered. Judging from the formation where the bones were found, there is every reason to believe that the skeleton can be taken out in more than ordinarily fine condition. Professor Figgins said it has always been the case that when petrified skeletons of dinosaurs have been found in Colorado some eastern museum has swooped in and captured the prize, while Colorado's own museum stands devoid of any of the specimens found in its own state. If this proves to be a fairly good specimen it will be placed in the Denver museum as rapidly as the work can be accomplished. While there is no way of determining the size of the saurian until some excavation is made, the size of the joint found protruding from the ground indicates that the animal was as large as the largest ones found in the valley.

ITALY AND AUSTRIA RENEW OLD STRUGGLE Adratic Sea Has Always Been Cause of Great Wars. Washington.—"Once more the people upon the opposite shores of the Adriatic sea are in a duel with one another for the mastery of the Mediterranean, just as neighbors across this arm of the land locked sea have always clashed, for upon the Adriatic south European supremacy has been contested since the days when Rome fell heir to the sea power of Athens and Carthage. Over this waterway Rome met the pirates of Istria and Dalmatia, aggressive Teutonic tribes and pressing hordes of Slavs, over it the empire of the east sent its expeditions to attack the empire of the west, and Austria a generation ago waged war with a disintegrated Italy over Adriatic paths and for the suzerainty of the sea." After giving the above brief review of this historic theater for the transport of invading armies and the actions of battle fleets, youngest of the war theaters in the present European struggle, around whose shores the interest of south European battles will center through the months to come, a bulletin issued by the National geographic society continues in a presentation of the geographic details of the Adriatic sea: "The Adriatic sea is 500 miles long and about 130 miles wide in its greatest width. Its average width is 110 miles. "The Austrian, or eastern, coast is broken, strewn with fine harbors and lined with numerous rocky islands, which belong to Istria and Dalmatia. This eastern coast is of great naval and commercial value, well formed for the upbuilding of great, thriving trade ports and by reason of its almost continuously mountainous shores, its deep gulfs and bays and its screening fringe of rocky islands advantageously defended. The western, or italian, coast, on the other hand, is low, sandy and almost unbroken. It lacks good harbors and offers few natural advantages for defense. "The commercial importance of the Adriatic sea throughout the dark ages and the middle ages was great. This importance was somewhat impaired by the opening of the all sea route to India and by the determined growths of the Dutch and English merchant marines. With the opening of the Suez canal and the commercial and industrial awakening of Italy and Austria-Hungary, the Adriatic regained much of its old time significance. The most important commercial points are Trieste, Venice, Fiume, Ancona and Brindisal, Venice and Trieste, at the head of the Adriatic, are the two foremost cities." 11 IN EVERY 100 WORKLESS. Another 16.8 Per Cent of Wage Earners on Part Time. Washington.—More than eleven wage earners in every hundred were out of employment, and about sixteen of the remainder were working only part time in March and the early part of April in fifteen of the important cities of the country. Returns of a canvass of 899,881 families, including 644,858 wage earners, showed 73,800, or 11.5 per cent, wholly unemployed and 106,652, or 16.8 per cent, without full time employment. The salary of a general in the Russian army varies from $1,500 to $2,500 a year. The Dover strait is only twenty-one miles wide at Calais, which has been connected with Dover by cable since 1851.

No one has an opportunity of learning the characteristics of individuals more than the publisher of a race paper, and no one has more varied and peculiar experiences. There are those who will pay the subscription as regularly and as promptly as it is due without delay or hesitation, just as they would any other debt. This is the desirable and welcome subscriber. There is another class who subscribe as willingly and will pay the subscription at that time, but it is almost impossible to collect it again, for it is almost impossible to find the individuals as they move from place to place so frequently. Then there is the responsible subscriber who feels that he is good for the subscription but never pays unless a personal demand is made upon him for it. This may ease his conscience, but it is almost as difficult to collect his subscription when it is needed most, as it is to collect from the man who is not responsible. Then there is the subscriber who imagines that every one pays his subscriptions except himself and that the publisher is well to do and does not need the money. He keeps the money in his pocket until it is thawed out by first one process and then another. Some subscribers never intend to pay and by first one subterfuge or another avoid payment until the publisher in self-defense must stop the paper and collect the subscription by legal process when this is possible. Really the subscribers to race papers should feel a deeper interest in their success and adopt the habit of paying for them promptly, and in that way may lighten the burdens of the publisher and insure better and more regular publication of the paper—Kansas City Sun. MANY NEGRO DOLLS BEING SENT OUT. Nashville, Tenn.—An announcement was made by the National Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence, the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determined to have the size doll they wanted that they all replied "We will wait to get the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from SEVENTEEN to THIRTY-SIX inches. The orders are being sent out rapidly. Many of the churches have sent in orders for dolls that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come. "THE CLANSMAN" REMOVED. Bemidjl, Minn.—The Clansman, a novel by Thos.

The photo-play, "The Birth of a Nation" is the reproduction from this novel, which caused the recent protest against its appearance by the best citizens of the country.

Among the sonnets written by Theodore Tilton to the memory of Fred Douglas appears the following fine lines: I know the proudest giants of my day, And he was of them—strong amid the strong. But gentle too, for, though he suffered wrong, Yet the door never heard him say, Thee also do I hate. * * * A laver's ja- no dirge, no无leful requiem song— In what I owe him, for I loved him long, As dearly as a younger brother may. Proud is the happy grief with which I sing. Fra, O'country, in the paths of men There never walked a grander man than he! He was a peer of princes—yea, a king, Grown in the shambles and the prison pen, The noblest slave that ever God set free! CHARLES SCRUTCHINS SPEECH. It must have inspired the membert of the Grand Army of the Republic and all other patriots at the City Hall Monday to listen to the words of eloquence from the son of a man whom they fought to free and the sturdy old fighters must have felt anew that sense of satisfaction that comes to the warrior who has fought a hard fight that a great right may triumph. Bemidji is proud that one of her citizens could so appropriately exemplify the advancement of the colored race and the old soldiers must have been happy to know that even in this far northern point, a representative of the race from whose hands they broke with shot and shell the chains of servitude, could appear before them with expressions of gratitude and with pledges of progress and pleas for a continued "square deal" for the colored man. —Bemidji, Minn., Sentinel.

San Bernardino, Cal. — A $50 grub stake given to an aged prospector eleven years ago has returned to A. J. Garner, a young livery stabil proprietor of Highland, in the form of a $40,000 estate. Garner at Jerome, Ariz., received a $50 check from his parents. He met W. H. Hawsnyder, a prospector and friend, who told him he was "dead broke." Fifty dollars, he told Garner, would grubstake him for a prospecting trip. Garner immediately handed over his check. He had not seen Hawsnyder since. The other day a stranger inquired where he could find Gus Garner. "That's me," said Garner. "Did you ever know W. H. Hawsnyder?" asked the stranger, who was H. G. Jamison, a New York attorney. "He was my best friend," replied Gua. "That's right," said Jamison. "He's died and left you his $40,000 estate." BLOWN UP BY WIRELESS? Fred T. Jane Suggests Solution of Irene and Bulwark Disasters. London—The suggestion has been made in the Evening Standard by Fred T. Jane, the naval author, that the steamer Princess Irene was blown up by a German wireless device. The Princess Irene, an auxiliary in the British navy, was blown up recently in Sheerness harbor, with a loss of more than 300 lives. "The sudden and complete destruction of the Princess Irene in the Medway," Mr. Jane writes, "at no great distance from where the battleship Bulwark also was suddenly blown to atoms, may be a curious coincidence. Italian experiments have proved it possible to explode a properly attuned charge by wireless from a short distance. If that charge be surreptitiously placed in a magazine everything in the magazine will go the same way. One spontaneous explosion is thinkable enough, but two in the same district demand too much from the imagination." LANE PLANS CLUB FOR U. S. WORKERS Washington. — The national capital will soon have one of the biggest clubs and one of the biggest clubhouses in the world if Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, carries out his plan. Indications are that he will. He has a committee of three at work, and it is meeting with much success. The secretary's plans call for the formation in one big club of the 15,000 government employees here. He hopes to erect a clubhouse occupying a whole block. It is not alone the social end that Secretary Lane has in mind. He plans to look after physical needs also. He proposes to establish a chain of co-operative stores in Washington, where the government clerks can purchase their food, clothing and other necessities of life at a cost very much below that which now prevails. Secretary Lane is an enthusiastic adherent of the co-operative plan. It is used successfully in the reclamation service of the interior department and on a more or less limited scale in the Home club, of which the secretary is founder and president. The Home club will be the nucleus of the new organization. It occupies the old Brazilian embassy, in Jackson place, but its membership has grown so fast that, although this house is one of the most commodious in the city, it is almost impossible to care for its 1,700 members, all employees of the interior department. The Home club has a business manager, who looks after co-operative buying. G. K. Weston. When fresh eggs were selling recently at 50 cents a dozen he distributed several hundred dozen a week to the members of the club at a price approximating 38 cents a dozen. When the best creamy butter was selling at 45 cents a pound Home club members were able to buy it for 35 cents a pound. At Christmas time candy-that was sold for 60 cents a pound was purchased for 50 cents by members of the club. More than 200 retail dealers in Washington have signed agreements to give Home club members discounts of from 5 to 20 per cent on cash purchases. During the winter the club, through the bureau of mines, bought several thousand tons of coal at a saving of from 50 to 80 cents a ton. COURTED IN JAIL. Youthful Prisonera Wed When Released. Morgantown, W. Va. — A courtship that began in jail and developed there into love, although the principals could not get a good look at each other during their courtship, resulted a few days ago in the marriage of Minnie Brooks, twenty, and John Bobis. The girl was serving a sentence of six months for threatening to kill a suitor. When three months of her time was up Bobis was brought to jail to serve ninety days. The girl was on the second floor of the jail, and Bobis was on the first. TWIN CITY STAR ADVANCE MADE IN RELIGICUS WORK DR. G. O. BULLOCK AS LEADER Minister and Congregation of the First Baptist Church Will Rid Property of Debt and Make Desirable Improvements to Accommodate the Rapidly Increasing Membership. Winston-Salem, N. C.—The Rev. George O. Bullock, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church in this city, is doing a splendid work among the members of his parish. He is also thoroughly interested in the welfare of the people of the community in general and is always ready to aid in any movement for the advancement of our people. By his earnest and straightforward method of dealing with public affairs and the business of the First Baptist church he has won many friends. He is a native of Williamsboro, N.C. His parents were slaves, who, following the close of the civil war, started out for themselves as farmers in a small way, but soon became self supporting and influential in the rural district in which they lived. They were Christians, having joined what was then known as the Flat Creek Baptist church. Through the influence of his parents young Bullock became a Christian at an early age and joined the Flat Creek Baptist church. The Rev. Mr. Bullock received his early education in the public school in Clifford county, N.C., near Clifford college. On account of having to assist in supporting the family at the age of PETER J. BURKE REV. G. O. BULLOCK, D. D. ten years, he could not attend school regularly, but there was lurking in every fiber of his being a desire for knowledge, and he never allowed an opportunity to go by unused. He received much information through reading and conversation. He delighted to hear great preachers. Rainy days and nights were turned into account by him in the way of study and reading. In this way he made wonderful progress, and at twenty he was licensed to teach in the district school. His first school was in Guilford county, N. C. Three years were spent in this work, and each year he saved his money, getting ready to enter college, and when he had got enough together he entered Shaw university, Raleigh, N. C., in the spring of 1893, and was a student there until 1901. During the vacation of 1895 he was called to a mission church under the direction of the Mildd Street Baptist church, a congregation of white persons at Portsmouth, N. H., where he supplied the pulpit for four months during his vacation. During his student days he got experience by pastoring three churches and had the love and esteem of the members of these churches as well as the other people of the community. In every thing that had for its object the moral and religious training of the people he was found in the front rank, and it is not surprising that he was selected by the students of Shaw university to represent them in the student volunteer movement convention of the Y. M. C. A. held in Cleveland, O. He graduated from the theological department at Shaw in 1900 with the degree of bachelor of theology and in 1901 with the degree of bachelor of arts. Following his graduation he took up active ministerial work by accepting a call to the work as missionary for western North Carolina, under the plan of co-operation directed by the Home Mission society. He held this position for several years and resigned it to accept a call from the Friendship Baptist church in Charlotte, N. C., and from there to the First Baptist church in this city. As a revivalist Dr. Bullock stands second to none. He has conducted a number of successful revivals in South Carolina as well as in his own state, and many persons have been added to the churches under his preaching and influence. An effort is being made by the members to pay off all the indebtedness on the First Baptist church, and then make several improvements on the property to accommodate the rapidly increasing membership. THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO LIFE. Home Training Most Important. Says Miss Namile H. Burroughs The moral phase of the Negro problem is the most serious part of the whole aggravating question. To improve the standard of the life of the masses is the only solution. As with other races, the standards in the homes are set up by the women who preside over them. Therefore to bring about a reform the womanhood of the race must be taught how to instruct their children in those virtues, that have made the most advanced races what they are. We are prone to think that the Negro is by nature religious and therefore moral. He is both; but he is not enough of either when it comes to living up to fundamental principles every day life. Because of his crude conception of what the Christian religion really is he too often practices one thing and preaches another. Often the foremost woman in the church is so far from a model for her less ambitious sisters that they look with contempt upon her and discredit religion. This misrepresentation of the genuine article takes many forms and sometimes the one woman is a combination of all. She allows beer drinking, card playing, and ragtime music in her home. She is loose in her conversation. Her language is often smutty. Her demeanor becomes a woman of the street. Her home is a hangout for "sliding elders" and loafing, hungry preachers. Her house is poorly kept. Her children are too young to be men and women and too old to be children. They are theregore the freshest things in the neighborhood. They run the church. They sit in the front heat, chew gum, talk and keep their "gang" giggling. To speak to them is to throw a match into a magazine of powder. These wise and talented youngsters of the leading sisters, get into the choir and start trouble for the choristers. They get religion and start trouble for the deacons. These children of too many of those who aspire to leadership in our local churches presume too much on the standing and influence of their mothers and give our churches all kinds of trouble. What we need is a new type of women in our homes as mothers, and a new type of women in our churches as leaders and examples for the young. The wig wearing, gum chewing, beer smelling, mouth running, street trotting, home neglecting, convention fever type of women are out of style, and from them may we soon be delivered. The struggle for today, is not altogether for today; it is for a vast future.—Abraham Lincoln. SIX REASONS WHY I SHOULD JOIN THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COL-ORED PEOPLE. 1. It teaches that race prejudice is the most evil thing in the world today and that "Jim Crow" cars, race segregation, anti-intermarriage laws and all other manifestations of it are unchristian and cruel efforts of the stronger to oppress the weaker. 2. It combats in the courts, state legislatures, the Halls of Congress, the government departments and everywhere the spirit of persecution against the Colored People which grows out of race prejudice. 3. It aims to bring about such a healthy public sentiment in this land that Colored People will be accorded all their social, civil and political rights and will receive exact justice in all the relations of life. 4. It believes in and teaches the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and the equality of all races in our American civilization. 5. It aims to uphold the honor of our women by opposing the passage of anti-race inter-marriage laws. 6. It is composed of members of both races and sexes on terms of complete equality and as brothers and sisters in this holy cause of freedom. "Feed a man correctly, give him foods that digest aid and are normally assimilated and ordinarily he is ready to meet the difficulties and problems of life with a smile. He is optimistic, cheerful, but that same man if suffering from indigestion has such depressed spirits that he is thrown into gloomy forebodings and the whole world seems awry. Our cooks, as well as our ministers, have something to do with filling this world a little nearer heaven." -Snyder. The Worker.
