Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIII NO 7 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JULY 20, 1912 NOMINEESENDORSED NATIONAL POLITICAL LEAGUE Big Meeting at Galbraith—Dr. Corrothers Presides and Speeches Made by Delegates. The second annual meeting of the National Political League was held at Galbraith A.M. E. Zion Church Wednesday and Thursday evening. Both sessions were largely attended and speeches were made commendatory of the administration of President Taft. At S o'clock President Corrothers called the meeting to order, and after prayer Secretary Joseph, H. Stewart read the call. After a rousing speech by Dr. Cormothers advising the colored voters of the country what to do, and how to do it, he concluded by introducing as the first speaker Editor W. Calvin Chase, of The Bee, who said in part that he had but one thought; one opinion; and one object, and that was the election of President Taft. Just why Negroes had to confer in this crisis he didn't understand. The condition of the country tells me that the Democratic party is the inveterate foe of a free government and inimical to the Negro. There is but one party for the Negro to support, because that inveterate foe of the Negro has done all that it can do, with but three exceptions, and that is, the repeal of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution of the United States. The moment the Democratic party gets control of this government you will see the repeal of those amendments. The so-called Negro Democrats, who haven't sense enough to tell you that it is raining, would have you to believe that the Democratic party is righteous and holy. The great charge that has been made against the managers of the Taft campaign at Chicago that delegates were stolen is untrue, and I can call on Delegate Bradshaw to bear me out, that no time did the Committee on Credentials act unfairly towards any delegate, or delegation. The Texas case, of which you have heard so much, is the most degrading in political history. A letter was read before that committee from Cecil Lyons to the effect that the black snakes are to be gotten rid of—meaning the Negro. Is that all? In another case from Virginia, the so-called white Republicans issued a circular calling a meeting of white Republicans only, meaning no Negroes were wanted. This was the Roosevelt crowd. I could cite to you dozens' of instances where the Roosevelt delegates had no standing whatever. Two of the most notorious contests that were brought by the Roosevelt people were those from Georgia and the State of Florida. The Roosevelt men of the Credentials Committee were disgusted themselves when it was shown that Col. J. W. Lyons, formerly Register of the Treasury, assisted in the election of the regular delegates, headed by Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, afterwards, for some reason only known to the financial agent of the Roosevelt propaganda, this distinguished Georgian went all the way to Chicago, with Grandpapa Rucker, contesting the seats of the regularly elected delegates. And how strange was it, fellow citizens, that honest men were called the thieves, and every effort was made at Chicago to purchase these thieves? at any price. Our duty as Republicans is to see that our friends in every State in this Union votes the regular Republican ticket. Attorney J. Louis Tayler was the next speaker. He made a most eloquent appeal to the voters in behalf of the regular Republican ticket, Taft and Sherman. His address was enthusiastically applauded. Rev. C. D. Hazel, D. D., of Asbury Park, N. J., was the next speaker. He said that while many colored voters supported the progressive party in New Jersey, the Negroes know how to vote in November, and he was confident that 38 or 40 thousand colored men in the State will support the regular Republican ticket. I came all the way from the State of New Jersey to assure you of our loyalty to the party. Rev. C. S. Whitted, of Providence, R. J., said that he was very much pleased with Mr. Chase's speech, and he must confess that, it touched him in spots, and that he hoped before he left the city that he would be converted. This he would say, that this country will not be ready for a Democratic President for the next hundred years. Rev. J. C. Taylor, D. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., was the next speaker. He was followed by Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky. After an invitation was extended to those to join the league, the chair announced that the President would receive the league Thursday afternoon at 2:30 P. M. Thursday evening the league convened at 8 o'clock, and next week a full report of its proceedings will appear in this paper. SPORTING PREACHERS. The Pulpit Not Doing Its Duty Visiting Base Ball, Theatre, Leaving the City for Rest. To the Editor of The Bee: To the Editor of the This is not intended for an attack upon the ministers of the gospel; no, be it far from us. But we saw a statement in one of the daily papers a here few days ago relative to the many pastors of the Washington churches preparing to leave the city to he themselves to different places on their "summer vacation. We can see the wisdom of men and women who toil in various ways for the support of themselves and others who may be depending upon them for the necessities of life, but we can't, for the life of us, see why the preachers should ask the members of their churches to grant them a leave of absence every summer. Are they not resting every day? But, since we come to think of it, maybe they want a little rest from rest. We certainly can see no other excuse for such a request. But preaching the Gospel of Christ has about ceased to be "a calling." It has got down to the very honorable position with that of the doctors and the lawyers —it's "a profession," pure and simple. "Go work in my vineyard," says the Lowly Nazarine, "there is plenty to do." There is too much to be done in the large cities of this country for the true ministers of the gospel to abandon the church and raise the flag of truce in the face of the devil, and tack a placard on the church door as an indication that war against sin will be resumed in the early fall, after a much needed (?) rest. Indeed the signs of the times point to the fact that many of the preachers of this day and generation are too much inclined to have "a good time!" We believe there are more "sporting" preachers in Washington to the square inch than can be found in any city of its size in the civilized world. Among many of the preachers here the true Gospel and Godly Christian life is, we believe, seldom thought about. For the want of the true Gospel the nation's capital is drifting from God. Here the Sabbath is being desecrated to an alarming extent. Base ball games, theatres, excursions and many things to lead the young men and women to destruction are to be seen here, while the ministers are preparing for their "Summer Vacation!" God save the ministers! We fear that we are drifting too far from God as a race and nation to maintain His blessings and mercy very much longer. We have too soon forgotten the prayers and tears of our old sainted fathers and mothers, and wandered from the path over which the "old-time ministers" walked. Preachers—preachers that have been called by the Spirit to preach the word of God—need to call their flocks together and urge a closer walk with God. But outside of the almighty dollar, some of these uncalled, but "professional" preachers wouldn't give a snap of their finger for the welfare of the people or the saving of a soul. Now, as we stated in the outset, this is not intended for an attack upon the ministers. But a lot of the moral make-up among some of them has become somewhat warped, and a talk along this line might help straighten them out. We will go a little further down the line—even at the risk of not having a very good funeral, I. e., not to be preached all the way into the haven of rest, after we shall have finished our earthly toll—that there is much room for reform in the pulpit, as well as in the pew, here in Washington. Do you hear me? "Go work in my vineyard, there's plenty to do." "Work, for the night is coming, When man can work no more." Go up on Seventh Street, between M and N Streets, N. W, this Sabbath Day, while we are penning these lines, and there, in the "shooting gallery," may be found scores, yea, hundreds of colored boys and girls throwing away their little monies to the white man, who will drive them out as soon as he has gotten enough of their money to prepare a descent place for his white patrons. It's a shame! It's enough to make one's heart ache. And yet the preachers can find the time to close the doors of the churches in this wicked city—this modern Nineveh—and, go off seeking "a good time" and making, a few extra dollars. Brother pastors, there is no time to lose along the pathway to the glory world. You are but watchmen on the wall. Better be up and doing. "Go work in my vineyard, there's plenty to do." "Work for the night is coming, Work in the glowing sun, Fill brightest hours with labor, Rest comes sure and soon, etc." J. C. CUNNINGHAM. St. Lukes at Mt. Horeb. New Era Council No. 858, and Ivy Green Juvenile Council No. 327, of the I. O. of St. Luke came together at Mt. Horeb Baptist Church, 16th and B Streets Northeast, last Sunday, to hear a sermon preached by Rev. Tyler. There was quite a large congregation present. The sermon was appropriate and eloquent, and the choir rendered some fine anthems. Mr. Robert Robinson, degree chief, presided. Mrs. Annie G. Brown, recording secretary, and the matron of the Juvenile Circle, read a short account of the rise and progress of New Era Council. Mrs. Ella Creek is a prominent worker in the order. Mrs. B. B. Anderson, district deputy, closed the exercises with a very impressive speech, giving a brief review of the work accomplished by the order in Washington, and told of the encouraging outlook for future progress.

CORROTHERS President of the National Negro Civil and Political League TEST MEETING GREATEST SPIRITUAL GATHERING South Has Ever Witnessed. man's good. "We therefore, discourage its desecration by excursions, the publishing and reading of Sunday newspapers, Sunday pleasure-driving and all forms of picnics, outings, or other forms of amusements, which we believe to be clearly wrong and ungodly. "We depreciate the fact that the family altar is not a fixed institution, as it should be, among even church members, and we recommend that all ministers seek to encourage the establishment of such an altar in every home, in order that family devotions may become the rule among church people, and thereby bring the children early under the influence of Godly training. "We note with pleasure that the study of sociology is finding its natural, and rightful place among church workers. We believe that the minister is the leader of the people and that he should exercise that leadership for social betterment, whether in the country, small town or city pastorate. He should encourage co-operation between his church and other uplifting social influences, such as the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Social Settlement and charity Organizations. The influence of the church should also touch other forms of organized endeavor, that the gospel may reach all, and the spirit of Christ get a firmer hold upon the world. "We recognize that the matter of amusement is one upon which the churches hold various opinions, but we believe it to be the duty of the church as well as the desire of all religious people to bring all helpful amusements under the supervision of the church. "We believe crime to be on the decrease, and we feel that it is the duty of the church and ministry to employ every movement which has for its purpose the further revolution and prevention of crime. We regard the saloon and all forms of the whiskey traffic to be among the chief breeders of crime. Ministers and the church militant must fight with all might and power this particular form of crime—incubator with its long train of corrupt progeny, most destructive of morals and religion. "In addition to the minister's obligation to explain and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, we recognize the further duty which devolves upon him, to discover among those brought under his influence, and to call into service, lay workers for the advancement of Christ's kingdom. We therefore urge that every minister address himself prayerfully to this important task, in order that the efficiency of both the minister and the church may be increased for good. "We are convinced that the highest and best results in Christian service are to be accomplished by thorough acquaintance with the Bible, and we urge that the scientific study of this precious book shall be encouraged everywhere. "The value of religious conferences such as this, cannot be overestimated, and while we have enjoyed the privilege accorded us to attend this remarkable gathering, we feel that we would be derelict in our duty, if we failed to urge upon our brethren, and all other religious workers the great importance of attendance upon such means of trace are here afforded. "The influence animating from this conference, and the great institution that has made it possible, cannot be other than good and farreaching. We look forward to the time, we believe not far distant, when its holy purpose and blessed inspiration will touch men and women for good in all sections of our country, as well as in foreign fields, and when, also it will compel those, who through their means wish to do larger service, to employ this splendid avenue for the accomplishment of beneficent purposes. GREATEST MEETING THE GREATEST SPIRITUAL GATHERING That the South Has Ever Witnessed. Prof. Kelly Miller Presided. Durham, N. C., July 15. The ministers' conference, under the auspices of the National Religious Training School, is conceded to be by the ministers attending same the greatest interdenominational meeting of its kind held among Negroes. The events were epochal and there was an enthusiasm and harmony that are unprecedented in the annals of such large bodies of kindred movements among the race. All the denominations were well represented. Among the principal speakers during the week were Drs. Jesse L. Hurlburt, W. Y. Chapman, of Newark, N. J.; Prof. Kelly Miller, who presided over the sociological conference; Dr. John C. Dancy, Dr. D. A. Martin, dean of the theological department of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta', Ga.; Dr. James E. King, Archdeacon H. B. B. DeLaney and George W. Avant; Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Miss Cecella Holloway, Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Hon. N. B. Broughton, General Julian S. Carr, Dr. A. A. Galvin, Prof. C. G. O'Kelly, president of Kittrell College; Drs. John A Savage, E. E. Hunter, L. J. Alexander. The propaganda that has been started by this movement accentuated by leading characters in all sections of the country, from the earnestness and judicious deliberations of the ministers from the rural districts and cities of the various States, will be a potent factor in the uplift of the masses of the race. Dr. E. E. Hunter, of Norfolk, Va., was the chairman of the committee of resolutions of the ministerial conference, which offered the following report and was unanimously endorsed: "The Ministerial Conference of the National Religious Training School and Chataquua, composed of clergymen of all denominations and of various sections, sends greetings to their fellow laborers everywhere and commend to their favorable consideration the following results of our study and free discussion during the most delightful and profitable week is has been our privilege to enjoy the hospitality of this marvelous educational venture. "We heartily endorse the spirit and purpose of this institution, because it makes religion the corner stone of the intellectual structure it is rearing; we pledge our support and influence in the furtherance of its high and noble aspirations. We call upon ministers and religious workers everywhere to recognize the need for and importance of this new educational propaganda which meets a peculiar need among our people. "We believe that every minister or church brought under the influence of this conference owes the institution and its founder a debt of gratitude for the great work he is doing for human uplift, social betterment and religious culture. "We therefore recommend that all churches and ministers who can shall give this great institution their support by word and deed, to the extent of their ability and opportunity, both in financial aid and efforts to increase the student body. "Of the subjects investigated and discussed, there seems to be a consensus of opinion among the ministers and other religious and social workers, as to the following, of general interest, and which deserve concerted support. "We note with apprehension the growing lack in the matter of Sabbath observance. We stand for the old time strict observance of our Sabbath, as the Lord's day, believing it should be kept as a day of worship and rest for God's glory and "God speed the day when men and women of wealth shall be led to see and grasp the rare opportunity offered here for consecrating some of the means entrusted to their distribution, as talents for good work. "We appreciate none the less the great service rendered by the many busy and gable men who have contributed to the success of this conference, when special mention is made of Drs. Jesse L. Hurlburt, W. Chapman, J. D. Martin and Hón. X. B. Broughton. They all brought messages so inspiring and useful, that we are impelled to employ this public method of expressing appreciation of their presence and fraternal interest. The members of this conference will seek to make a large field for their messages." The committee that was appointed by the sociological conference, Archdeacon H. B. DeLancey, D. D., chairman, presented the following suggestions to the conference and was adopted: "That the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua and Summer School continue the sociological conference. (2) That libraries, local and circulating, be established in rural communities. (3) That the small schools and rural communities invite the co-operation of the State A. and M. College, in the work of practical demonstration in household and industrial arts that affect their surroundings. (4) That we commend the James Fund, and recommend to our people to supplement this fund to extend the school term wherever possible. (5) That we encourage the co-operation of the ministers and teachers in the general well-being of the people where they labor. (6) That we recommend young people's organizations for the general uplift and social improvement and as far as possible encourage the girls of the normal and higher schools to unite in the effort during the summer months. (7) That all wholesome and innocent amusements be encouraged. (8) That the attention of the teachers and ministers unions be called to sanitation in the city and rural districts. (9) That more united effort be made on the part of various denominations, teachers, ministers, professional men, to reach the unreached element of the race." Prof. Kelly Miller presided over the THE REPUBLICAN STANDARD LEARNERS-TAFT AND SHERMAN. The Golden Text: Hold fast to that which thou host, that no one take thy crown. hast, that no one take thy crown. To the colored citizens of the United States of America, we appeal to you to cast your ballot for the regular nominee of the old reliable party of Lincoln, Grant and McKinley, and of other great leaders who championed our cause. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States can be changed by a Democratic administration of the Congress and the Senate. A vote for any other candidate may cause the loss of citizenship to ten million Negroes. Can the colored race divide their vote upon any experimental form of government in this crisis, and take chances of their citizenship and ownership of property which nears the billion mark? We answer, no. Let us stand fast in the old ship with Taft and Sherman, the ship that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt gave us, that has stood for the rights and privileges of all citizens, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude, for four years. Therefore, every Republican of the United States should be loyal to the great party that made America the gold field of the earth in Church and State. United we will stand, divided we will fall. Let us unite in every State and District, in the Taft and Sherman campaign. Under the leadership of National Colored Civil and Political Rights League we invite young men and old men to form clubs in every State in the Union, and confer with us at No. 609 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C., for all information. AARON P. PNOLEAN, General Manager, JOSEPH H. STEWART, Secretary. COL. W. H. LESTER. COL. W. H. LESLER. The Bee's esteemed friend, Col. W. H. Lester, of Ithaca, N. Y., is in the city the guest of his son. There is not a grander man in this world than Col. Lester. He is erect and continues to hold that dignified military air that was so noticeable in days gone by. He paid the Bee office a visit this week and related very entertainingly many reminiscences of by-gone days. Since he has been here he has been given many social functions and his two sons, Will and Jack, have royally entertained him. Today he will visit Baltimore, Md., and return to this city Monday and the latter part of next week the noble Colonel will leave for his home in Ithaca. There is not a more genial man one would desire to meet than Col. Lester. Shelby Davidson is making a hit in real estate in offering to our people a superior class of properties.

Maxficid ) It has been suggested by Senator Tillman that the United States build the biggest, the best and the most powerful practical battleship in the world. The Senator says: "Let such vessel be named the Terror and become the peacemaker of the world." Local Chinamen are awaiting with a great deal of interest the new issue of Chinese paper money, which is being printed in New York for the Chinese Republic. The standard of value will be the American dollar. The money will bear a likeness of Menzlus, a great Chinese philosopher and teacher, and one of the disciples of Confucius. John Quincy Adams, who was 145 years old last Thursday, was born in Quincy, Mass., July 11, 1767. He was the sixth President of the United States. The people of the United States, it is said, read and support as many newspapers as England, France and Germany combined. Paris is considering a proposition to spend ninety million dollars to obtain a supply of pure water from Switzerland. The first man in the history of the United States to be ousted from the Senate on the ground that his election was brought about by corrupt methods and practices was William Lorimer, who left for Chicago, where he will take up the fight against his enemies and endeavor to wipe out the blot which has been put on his record. A total of $1,900,000 was raised by the Republican National Committee in 1904 for the Roosevelt Presidential Campaign, according to the testimony given by George B. Cortelyou, then chairman of that committee. Ten thousand dollars of this amount was given by Andrew Carnegle. President Taft signed a bill introduced into the Senate by Senator Simmons donating twenty-five acres of the Marine Hospital site at Wilmington, N. C., for a colored industrial school. W. T. Vernon has received notice of his appointment to the presidency of Campbell College, of Jackson, Miss. Mr. Vernon was formerly, Register of the Treasury. President James F. Oyster of the Board of Education appeared before Congress Thursday to answer the attack made upon him by Architect Ashford. His reply was caustic and concise. President Taft has, requested the resignation of Cheighton M. Foraker, brother of former Senator J. B. Foraker, of Ohio, who for thirteen years has been United States Marshal of New Mexico. The friends of Foraker allege the resignation is the result of the Marshal's refusal to take active part in politics. The outlook at the B. M. C. in Chicago is that Senator Benjamin Davis will be the next Grand Master. The next Colored Appointee on the Board of Education will be a surprise to the people as well as a unanimous satisfaction. Objection is made by the white citizens of Tahlequah, Okla., to the employment of colored men by the M. O. and G. Railroad Company. The colored citizens have frequently been warned that they are undesirable citizens. Drastic measures will be taken if the railroad don't accept the demand of the white citizens. Jack Johnson gave away upward of $8,000 to the poor of Los Vegas, Mexico. The people regard him a gentleman. To one person, who is suffering with tuberculosis, he gave a runabout. Editor Jack Lightfoot, of Atlantic City, N. J., is regarded by the people of Jersey as a wide awake politician. If reports are true, a colored citizen of Georgia will be appointed to a presidential position in the South. The Negro Business League that is to meet in Chicago, Ill., will be the largest in the history of the organization. The Immigration Station at Boston. Mass., is to be moved to East Boston. The new station will cost $375,000. Plans have been approved by the secretary. The Archibald impeachment trial began in the Senate Tuesday. Judge Archibald was defended by A. S. Worthington. The latest report is that McCombs wants Col. Bryan dropped. The Bryan element is not recognized it is said and will not be. MEREDITH'S QUICK RISE TO FAME His Father States He Prepared Boy For Athletic Career Just In the Same Manner as He Did His Prize Winning Steeds. James Edward Meredith, who won the 500 meter run at the Olympic games in world's record time, is only nineteen years of age, and his home is in Media, Pa., where his father is a contractor. Ted, as he is known by the athletes, spent a couple of terms at the Williamson trade school learning bricklaying and in the meantime ran some races for the Aquinas Catholic club of his home city. Then he went to Mercersburg academy. Meredith did not meet defeat during the entire scholastic season. It would be impossible to describe the joy in the home of Meredith when the news of his great victory was related to his family. His five sisters were the first to hear the news, his father being busy on the farm, which is near Elwyn. "Isn't that just grand!" cried one sister, while the others echoed her sentiments. "I had no idea Ed would win the race, but we were all hoping for the best. Somebody run and tell father." In the meantime Mr. Meredith strolled up to the house. "Ed won his race, father!" cried out one of the Miss Merediths, and immediately the father quickened his pace. "Tell me all about it," said he. He smiled as he heard that his son had M M1 Photo by American Press Association TED MEEDELFOL, WINNER OF $80 MOTHER OLYMIC EVENT. not only won the race, but also had broken the world's record for the distance. "I had Ed pleckel as a sure thing for one of the first three places," said Mr. Meredith. "The men I was afraid pos- sibly would beat him out were Davenport of Chicago university and Cal- well of the Massachusetts Agricultural college, both men to expect big things, but neither of these men was even placed in the event. "Ld has been trained just as I trained my horses. I made no distinction at all. This method of my own in training which has made prize winners of dozens of my horse breeds, I decided to try on my boy, and my method has been successful. I started to train Ld when he was fifteen years old, nothing very much, of course, because he was too young then, but just to keep a watchful eye on him to see that he should get the proper idea as to how to run. He had a natural inclination to this form of athletics, and I merely encouraged him to continue I saw no reason why Ld, with my previous experience to guide him, should not become a star as a runner. He is temperate in all his habits, but one thing which is generally emphasized in the training of a runner which I didn't put much stock in was the eating. I always gave him all he could eat—ple, ice cream, almost anything. There has been a story circulated that I was in the habit of fastening him to the back of my dogeart whenever I went for a jog about the country, but this is not so. Of course, being in close touch with Ld and being his real trainer ever since he was a boy, I was well aware of his ability as a runner and knew just what he was able to do. Consequently the news of his victory does not come as a surprise." The ball player's albi is the latest. Everywhere the diamond stars are talking albi. Fred Clarke calls it playing with the "if" deck. If a player makes a "bonehead" play he has an albi. Ball players ridiculed by their fellows are called "albi." "Bonehead" no longer is the terrible expression. Baseball albi means simply an excuse for a bad or dumb bit of work, and it is pointed out that a ball player who always returns to the bench with an albi never lasts long in the majors. "Some ball players, pitchers, especially, make you weary with their albi," said Howard Cammlitz recently. "The newspapers help them along with albi. I get my beatings, and I have no excuse to offer, because baseball isn't built on albi like criminal procedure." "CHICK" GANDIL A STAR. Washington's First Sacker Has Strengthened Senators' Infield. Strengthened Senators Infield. Gandill, the Washington's first baseman—his first two names are Benedict and Arnold—seems truly a discovery. The price tags on his uniform are blurred. Some say that he cost Griffith the three players sent to Montreal and a bonus of $9,000, and others aver that "Chick" was marked down to $15,000. Also the Washingtonians say that the Cubs offered $15,000 and no players and the Boston Red Sox $8,000 and two players. The Montreal manager said that any one of these offers would be acceptable and gave Gandill his choice. Joe Yeager, the Montreal third baseman, advised him to go to Griffith, and so he did. Gandil is fast and plays almost as deep a field as McInnes or Chase. Jack Knight's fault at first was that he was altogether too slow. Gandil has been achieving wonders with the bat as well. Griffith says that he has strengthened the senators' infield by 40 per cent. HIGHER BERTH FOR GANZEL Successful Manager of Rochesters May Be In Maigres Next Season. John Ganzel, who as manager of the Rochester team of the International league, has won three pennants in succession and seems to be in a fair way to capture another this year, probably will handle a major league team next season. He didn't come up to expectations when he managed the Cincinnati Reds five years ago, but he didn't have much of a chance to prove his worth. Ganzel has shown real merit in Rochester, however, and it is said that he has received offers from several major league clubs which are-searching for managerial timber. FAVORS HIT AND RUN PLAY. Griffith Firm Believer In Aggressive, Dashing Style of Attack. Clark Griffith is a firm believer in the hit and run play and will use it nine times out of ten in preference to employing the sacrifice hit. The record of sacrifice by the Washington team shows this. The Nationals' manager believes in an aggressive, dashing style of attack, with plenty of base running and as much hitting with the runner as his team can deliver. At times pursuit of this style is disastrous, but it will win more games than it loses, according to Griffith. RICHARDS HAD HIS DOWNS. Olympic High Jump Winner Failed to Win Point Two Years Aga. Alma Richards, who won the running high jump at Stockholm, breaking the Olympic record, is twenty-one years of age. He was born in Provo, Utah, and has been a student at the Brigham Young university for four years. Two years ago he failed to score at the track meet. The following spring he won every event in which he entered. Tennis Tourneys at Night. Cleveland is meeting with success in conducting tennis tourneys by electric light. An electric company of that city makes the announcement that it has perfected a method of scientific tennis court illumination for night play and that the tests of actual use have revealed not a single flaw in the plan. Will Larned Defend Title? Speculation is rife as to whether William A. Larned will defend his title of champion lawn tennis player of the country by working, through the national championship at Newport in August, which he must do if he elects to go after the laurel this year. To Build Athletic Field. University of California has been given $750,000 for the equipment of a new athletic field. The field and gymnasium will not be completed until 1915. Germany Has New Stadium. Berlin, Germany, has a new $300,000 stadium, where it hopes to conduct the 1916 Olympic games. Football In Denmark. In Denmark the state takes 20 per cent of the gross receipts at football matches.

FOUR REAL STAR FIRST BASEMEN Every One of Them Can Whale the Ball For Keeps and Run the Bases Well, Besides Being All a First Sacker Should Be. Star baseball players of any kind are exceedingly rare, but big league managers assert that crack first basemen are the scarcest commodities in the land. Any one doubting this statement may have it confirmed by asking either Barney Dreyfuss or Fred Clarke of Pittsburgh. After trading Kitty Bransfield to the Phillies in 1905 the Pirates were engaged in a continuous search for a first sacker until the spring of this year, when Clarke hit on the brilliant idea of converting "Dots" Miller into a first baseman. The Kearny (N. J) boy has played the best first base the Pittsburgh bugs have seen in eight years, but "Dots" has not yet shown class enough to displace any one of the "big four" of the National league—Fred Merkle, Jake Daubert, Dick Hobiltzel and Eddie Konetchy. Some first basemen this quartet. Every one is a star of the first magnitude, and all are young men with their best days still ahead of them. All are lusty clubbers, as all first basemen should be, and hammer the old ball all over the lot. However, unlike some of the slugging first basemen of old, all these four men are among the leading speed merchants in the National league. It is hard to decide which one is the star of the quartet. Manhattan fans swear by Fred Merkle, and Brooklyn fans can see only Jake Daubert, while Cincinnati and St. Louis fans believe "Hobby" and "Koney" have no superiors. Perhaps no ball player, unless it is Rube Marquard, had a harder time to make good than Fred Merkle, and Fred deserves all the good things that have come to him in the last two years. Everybody knows the unfortunate "bone" Fred committed in 1908 ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. JAKE DAUBERT, BROOKLYN'S GREAT FIRST SACKI and how it cost the Giants a championship. The fans did not forgive Fred for that lapse for a long time, and many managers laughed when Merkle was under discussion. "McGraw actually believe he can make a first baseman out of that fellow," said a prominent manager in 1909. But McGraw made a first baseman of Merkle, all right. Jake Daubert is another star who had to fight his way to the front. Turned back by Cleveland as not of big league caller, Jake got a chance with the Superbass in 1910. No one considered that Daubert had a chance to beat out "Home Run" Tim Jordan, but Daubert played such great ball that he simply could not be kept out of the game. He is now in his third year with Brooklyn and is getting better all the time. Dick Hobbitzel, the clever first baseman of the Redlegs, is the most brilliant performer on Hank O'Day's roster. Cincinnati fans have to thank the old outlaw Union league for Richard. The Union league sprouted for a few months in 1908. After leaving college Dick made his professional debut with the Union. He landed with the Reds the following season and has starred for Garry Herrmann's team ever since. Eddie Konetchy is the oldest one of these four players in big league experience, though he has been if the National league only since 1907. Konetchy, like Daubert, has been handicapped by playing with a second division team. WHAT A METER IS. The meter having been accepted by a majority of the nations as a basis of linear measurement. It was determined upon for use in the Olympic games, and with a few exceptions track and field distances have been marked according to it. The distances on the Stockholm program, reduced to exact terms of English measurement, which are common here, are as follows: 1 meter—32.37 inches. 10 meters—100 yards 13 inches. 11 meters—120 yards 11 inches. 20 meters—215 yards 2 feet 6 inches. 40 meters—137 yards 16 inches. 50 meters—571 yards 2 feet 9 inches. 1,500 meters—1,640 yards 5 inches. 1,000 meters—1,743 yards 13 inches (little less than a mile). 3,000 meters—1 mile 1,420 yards 10 inches. 5,000 meters—3 miles 199 yards. 10,000 meters—6 miles 373 yards. 40,000 meters—21 miles 1,621 yards 13 inches. (There are 1,760 yards, or 5,520 feet, in a mile.) ARGENTINA POLOISTS COMING International Matches to Be Played at Narragansett Pier. Promise of real international polo at Narragansett Pier, R. I. this year is contained in the invitation extended by the Point Judith Polo club to the Argentine team, which has had a victorious career in the tournaments in England. It is anticipated that the South American team will accept and take part in the tourney, which includes the open championships between July 29 and Aug. 24. The Argentine team is made up of two Irishmen and two Englishmen, who all have business interests in the Argentine. Their South American ponies are branded and rough looking, but rare gallopers and very handy. Aided by the handicap orders, the Argentine team won the Whitney cup tournament at Hurlingham and created a sensation by its quickness and hard hitting. EXPECT TOO MUCH OF O'TOOLE Fans Think $22,500 Pitcher Should Win Nearly Every Game. While it is undoubtedly true that Pitcher Marty O'Toole of Pittsburgh has proved a disappointment in that it was naturally expected that a $22,500 pitcher should never lose a game, the former St. Paul star occasionally shows marked ability, though he does not appear to be a consistent performer. So far as the investment in O'Toole is concerned it proved a good one. The Pittsburgh club more than got back what it paid for the pitcher last fall, and he is still an attraction these days. When Pittsburgh bought O'Toole it was for the purpose of making one final effort to win the pennant. Had O'Toole come through as was expected last fall the Pirates might have beaten the Giants to the wire. It was a gambling chance, and while no pennant was won it was not a losing game at that. O'DAY LETS UMPIRES ALONE. Cincinnati Manager Sticks to Promise Made When He Quit Indicating Made When He Quit Indicating It must be said of Hank, O'Day, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, that he has not yet broken his vow, made early in the spring, that he would not balt umpires. Hank still shows that spirit of brotherly love. But his argument is a good one. He says arguing with umpires gets a manager nothing. He prefers to remain back in the shadows of the bench and depend on a square deal from the umpires. So far he has had no reason to complain, and it is certain that few of his players have been under suspension this season. Umpire Has New Footgear. Umpire Has New Footwear. Empire John-toe of the National league has something new in the way of footgear that is apt to attract a lot of attention and be copied by all the baseball umpires. He has a metal covering that fits over his shoes, so that foul tips that fly down at his feet do not break his toes. All umpires are protected well by the mask and the chest pad, and the greater majority wear shin guards beneath their trousers. San Francisco Wants Horse Racing.

Pennant Winner In Gotham Would Mean Big Revenues For Other Managers—Hans Wagner Making Good as Captain—Other Notes. By TOMMY CLARK To have a losing ball team in New York is proving a serious loss to the American league. The largest city in the circuit should under ordinary conditions produce the greatest revenues, but New York has never and will never support a loser. Had the owner of the New York club been an experienced baseball man he would probably have had a pennant winner by this time. He made his mistake when he let out Clark Griffith four years ago simply because his team had a bad slump. That team properly bolstered up would have delivered sooner or later, but it was inexperience which blamed the manager for a condition for which he was not responsible. Conditions are such now in New York that the American league ought to get together and place a stronger team in Gotham. The aggregation which represents it at the present time is hardly strong enough to hold it's own in a class C league and is a disgrace to major league baseball. Not a little of the,credit of the present good showing of the Pittsburgh Pirates is being given to Hans Wagner, who as captain has shown rare judgment in handling the team on the field. Since the Pirates have been winning there is less of a demand for Manager Fred Clarke to re-center the game, and it is dawning on the fans that with Wagner at the helm the club is well directed. Most of the Pittsburgh fans have their eyes on first base. Right there they will win or lose the pennant, as they see the race. They are satisfied with the way "Dots" Miller is playing it now, but at the first of the season he came in for some hard knocks. He has MIDDLEBURY Photo by American Press Association. "DOTS" MILLER, PITTIBUGEH'S FIRST BASCHIAN. been fielding well, but seems to be a bit slow on the throw. "Dots" is batting about 215. Miller is more than a first baseman. He is the club poet—this, too, in a club that boasts a wearer of the cloth in Carey and a don of the sock and busk-in Donlin. Miller dedicated this little tribute to Fred C. Clarke. It looks better in prose, although it does rime: "Of all the men who ever played bail, the great men, tall men, big or small, there's one who's always toed the mark, and this man's name is Fred C. Clarke." Second stanza: "He tells us now he's quit the game, and the Pittsburgh team is not the same but just as sure as my name's Jack! I know some day he will come back." Mike Donlin, the club disciple, said in criticism that Miller played first base well. Ad Wolgast, the lightweight champion, has yet to show that he can come back. His recent victory over Joe Rivers, the Mexican, in Los Angeles was not as clean cut as a champion should win when in his prime. Wolgast's illness undoubtedly took from him much of his stamina, though the fact must not be overlooked that in Rivers Wolgast met one of the toughest little fellows in his class.

GAVE SIOO - HAND MONEY Architect-Sleuth Offered $8000 to Have His Plans For Insane Asylum Accepted. Rumors of grafting proposals in connection with the selection of the plans and an architect for the proposed county insane asylum came to a sensational climax in Ebensburg, near Pittsburgh, Pa., when County Commissioner Anderson made public a statement, in which he alleged that R. W. Clay, who has been posing as an architect, and whose plans were before the board of commissioners for consideration, was a representative of the Burns detective agency and had secured the offering of a motion that his plans be adopted by promises of a money consideration to himself and Commissioner T. Stanton Davis. Mr. Anderson declares he was aware that Clay was a detective, and on the advice of his counsel, James W. Leech, and with a clear understanding between himself and Clay, participated in a meeting, at which he was given $100 in cash. Mr. Anderson handed over the money to a third party, giving a statement of the manner in which he received it. At a meeting of the board of commissioners, subsequent to the meeting between Commissioners Anderson and Davis and "Architect" Clay, Mr. Davis made a motion that the Clay plans be adopted. The motion was not seconded and was laid on the table. The statement of Commissioner Anderson implies that Commissioner T. Stanton Davis had agreed to favor the Clay plans for a cash consideration Mr. Anderson asserts that he was aware of Clay's identity and that he went along with the "architect" and Commissioner Davis in the latter's automobile to consummate a bargain, with no other motive than to expose the attempted graft. The money payment was made, according to Mr. Anderson, at a point on a country road within a mile of Ebensburg. The $160 was handed over merely as "hand money," and according to the arrangements made, a much larger amount was to be divided between himself and Commissioner Davis. Commissioner Anderson's statement alleges that Commissioner Davis approached him on several occasions with the suggestion that they could procure money for favoring the Clay plans, and states that the sum mentioned was one-half of the architect's fee. Mr. Anderson says the sum mentioned was $5000, to be divided between the two commissioners, and that when his colleague said the cost of the asylum must be reduced, "Architect" Clay said this could easily be done by cutting off various portions of the proposed building; but, as his commission would be reduced, the payments to the commissioners must also be reduced. Mr. Anderson stated that all these matters were discussed during the automobile ride and the bargain finally consummated. Commissioner Davis admitted to a reporter that he took "Architect" Clay and Commissioner Anderson in his automobile and that he witnessed the payment of the money by Clay to Anderson. Davis denies, however, that he ever agreed to accept any recompense for favoring the Clay plans. He admits that Clay made him repeated offers and that he was aware that $100 hand money was to be paid Commissioner Anderson. Mr. Davis further alleges that he told Walter Jones and A. D. Meyers, Ebensburg attorneys, that Clay had solicited his acceptance of a bribe some days prior to the date of the auto trip. "Architect" Clay has been in Eiensburg for some time, and it is learned that several residents of the county seat had something to do with his operations. It is admitted that he is not a professional architect, but just what object was in view in securing his services does not yet appear; neither has it been made known who is meeting the charges for his services. Skilled Burns operatives usually command a pretty respectable salary, while the incidental expenses are of considerable volume.

The following appears in the Baltimore platform of the Democratic party : "We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the Federal government under the Constitution has no right or power to impose or collect duties, except for the purpose of revenue." Now, when it is recalled that the platform of the Democratic party at Mr. Bryan's request was held up until after the nomination was made "in order to make it fit the nominee," the great industrial enterprises of the nation may well "mark time" until after the "ides of November." If the above plank does not mean free trade, what does it mean? If the above plank is not an assault upon the principle of protection, which has put this country in the front rank of nations, what is it? It denies the right of the Federal government to impose tariff duties upon foreign made goods for the protection of domestic manufactures and for the protection of American labor against the underpaid labor of Europe and Asia. In other words, this plank represents the determination of the Democratic party, if possible, to reduce American labor to the level of the pauper labor of foreign countries; and no other construction can be put upon it fairly. Mr. Wilson announces that he intends to make the tariff the dominant issue in the campaign, because he believes that, or says that he believes, that the protective principle is responsible for the high cost of living. Republicans everywhere are rejoicing at the decision of this "scholar in politics," and will see to it that he is not allowed to retrace his steps. Here then is the great issue in the approaching contest—tariff for revenue only versus tariff for the protection of domestic industries, and there is hardly any doubt that any wise man can fail to see the outcome. It will be one of two things—either Mr. Taft's triumphant re-election and a continuation of normal business prosperity and development, or Mr. Wilson's election, with a million and a half men thrown suddenly out of. employment, with business depression and panic for another four years. Which do you want? Let Mr. Wilson, who believes the Republican tariff laws to be responsible for the high cost of living, explain why in free trade England and in continental Europe the cost of living has increased so greatly during the last decade. HOWARD PRESIDENT. No colored man possessed the desired requirements for the headship of Howard University—so means the election of our esteemed friend, Dr. Newman. It was urgd that one candidate possessed in a pre-eminent degree the mental gifts, but that he lacked stamina. It was argued that another had "constructive" gifts, but he could not make the proper impression upon the rostrum; that another was a poor disciplinarian, and that the school would "go to the dogs" were he elected President. It was further said that the candidates on the "hill" were all fighting each other, and had thereby put each other out of the running—and that what was really needed was a man of "social efficiency," whatever that may mean; a man who could get the money which the institution so sorely needed. These and other objections we have heard lodged against every colored man who was prominently mentioned for the place. We regret that the Board of Trustees must have been moved by some of the objections we cite, but whether they were or not, we wish to remind them that it is altogether probable that out of the list of our highly trained colored men one could have been discovered who could at least have repeated the failures of Doctors Gordon and Rankin, and that white men fail at the head of great institutions without impairing the eligibility of other white men we wish to cite—Messrs. Powell, Chancellor and Steward, Superintendents of our public school system in recent years. We believe that either Kelly Miller, George W. Cook or Lewis B. Moore could have done quite as well as either of the white brethren mentioned; we believe more than this, we believe they could have done better. SENATOR TILLMAN. The daily press carried the statement to the Senate of Senator Tillman explaining his vote for Lorimer, and spoke of the moist eyes when that statement was read. The South Carolina Senator feelingly referred to the fact that he must soon go to meet his Uaker face to face. Now if Senator Tillman, conscious of the almost irreparable damage and injustice he has done the Negro race, since his incumbency of his senatorial position, would only make but a feeble attempt to acknowledge his error against the race, and to make but a feeble attempt to right the wrong he has done the race that never did him any harm, he would rise to the dignity of a Christian man not afraid to meet his Maker face to face, and that Maker might, when the now decrepid and fast declining South Carolina Senator was ushered into His presence, exclaim. "welcome thou good and faithful servant." But if he goes to his Maker unrepentent of the sins of commission against the Negro, how can he expect the heavenly doors to swing wide on their hinges to admit him to the rest Paradise affords? If white men who have unjustly inflamed passions against the Negro can enter the Kingdom of God without having repented of their sin against a brother, simply because that brother's skin is black; how can this supposedly great religious world wonder at the spread of infidelity among Negroes? Senator Tillman, in a few months, perhaps a few days, you may be called hence. If you believe in a God and a heaven as a place of eternal rest for the just, why not now, before it is too late, recall the base things you have said about the race; repent of the passion and prejudice you have aroused against the race, and give utterance to something kind of a people that, in spite of your tirades against them, have never offered you insult or injury? And nowhere in the white man's bible is there mention of a jim-crow apartiment in heaven for Negroes. All are equal there. A DUTY WE OWE. Last Saturday there passed out of life a well known teacher in the public schools. Tuberculosis, the dread plague that reaches out its tentacles and clutches without discrimination, was responsible for his taking off when scarcely at the zenith of life. Up to the very close of school he taught, associated with teachers and was housed in poorly ventilated school rooms with pupils who must, of a necessity, have inhaled the very air his disease befouled, and who, perhaps some have become inoculated with the White Plague germs that possessed him. It was well known that dread, incurable, contaminating tuberculosis mercilessly held him a prisoner, yet he was permitted to endanger the lives of many by his presence in a school room. It would have seemed heartless to have dismissed him from the service after his many years of exemplary services. We admit, it would have required a stern, stout heart to have done it. Yet how much more heartless was it to have suffered many teachers and hundreds of aspiring young men and women who were the hopes of women who were the hopes of fond parents to become possible victims of the same disease just in order to be tolerant of the feelings of one? No teacher, or scholar, whose system has become permeated with the contagious germs, of tuberculosis ought to be permitted to be cooped in a school room with half a hundred or more pupils whose health he is sure to endanger. We owe a duty, a bounden duty to the few who are in the vice-like grip of a contagious and deadly malady. We owe a far greater duty to the many who are buoyant with health and youth, and in whom are centered our hopes. This death ought to awaken school officials to the necessity of planning for the conservation of the student's health. THE BLADENBURG MURDER. Had the murdered been white, and the suspects been colored that horrible murder in Bladensburg Road last Saturday night would have incited in the white dailies big "scare headlines" across two or three columns, and an account that would have kindled anew the feelings of race prejudice, and throughout that account would have been conveyed the suggestion of lynching the suspects. But the murdered was a member of that less fortunate but struggling race—the Negro race, and the suspects were members of the fortunate, dominating, proud Caucasian race, and as a result, and because of it, less than one column in the white press was sufficient to tell of the brutal, horrible murder, and there was --- a noticeable dearth of adjectives to convey the horribleness and the brutality of the crime, and to covertly excite race feeling. And the regular style of headlines for ordinary news was sufficient to display the article. If the white press would treat the colored suspect, the colored murderer and the colored committer of nameless crimes, in so far as their headlines and accounts go, the same as they considerately treat white men guilty or suspected of the same crimes, race prejudice would not become so accentuated and sharply defined, and the colored criminal might secure a fair hearing and a fair trial. The Bladensburg Road murder would not have been any more horrible or debasing had it been committed by a colored man and had the victim been a white man. Judging from the white press's account of crimes committed by white men, guilt is personal, but judging from its yellow accounts of crimes committed by colored men, guilt is racial. SENATOR LORIMER. al, as If the law making powers the Senate of the United State violate the Constitution what excuse can it make if the courts of our common country do likewise? The Constitution of the United States implicitly states that a person should not be tried twice for the same offense. The evidence which influenced the Senate to exclude Senator Lorimer was not sufficient. He was acquitted by the same Senate in the first instance that now convicts him. The action of the Senate was an outrage and a grave violation of the Constitution of the United States. If the devil should come to Congress he would find some more guilty than Senator Lorimer. Senator Lorimer was convicted on the hypocritical sentiment of so-called moralists running at large throughout the country. Some of his jurors were charged with the same, offense that caused his removal, and by virtue of their so-called moral uprightness they voted with the majority to remove him. Senator Lorimer is not guilty of disfranchising Negroes and coming to the Senate in violation of our Constitution. Why don't these holy solons who voted for the expulsion of Senaor Lorimer investigate and report on the election of every Democratic member of the Senate and House of Representatives? How many would remain? Will the Republicans who voted against Senator Lorimer answer this? THE POLICE COURT. At the expiration of the term of the Judges of the Police it is hoped that President Taft will appoint men who will have no color prejudice in appointing competent colored men. There certainly ought to be at least two colored clerks and two colored bailiffs in the Police Court. It would be folly to ask Negro lawyers to unite on any one. You will see some pulling one way and others pulling the other Then you will see the sneak going to the Judge telling him not to appoint a Negro. The Bee knows from positive information, notwithstanding such conduct ought not to have prevented the appointment of a colored man. DR. HAWKINS The defeat of Dr. Hawkins as one of the Commissioners of Atlantic City was due to the Jews' vote. The Bee is informed. The colored voters supported Dr. Hawkins with but one exception and his main opponent, from what the Atlantic City Advocate states, was a man who has been indicted for fraud. The Bee extends congratulations to that silver tongued orator and brilliant physican and its friends, Messrs. Nutter and Lightfoot, who are always found on the side of the Negro. The colored citizens of Atlantic City can do great good if they will. ROOSEVELTISM. As a rule ignorant men become conceited, but when $ \alpha $ man like Colonel Roosevelt becomes intoxicated by conceit it is time for ignorant people to retire. Just who told Colonel Roosevelt that he was called by the people The Bee would like to know. He never was called by the people and he never will be. It's too hot for politics. Pure morals is the first requisite for a school teacher. Loose morals in a school teacher is really more to be dreaded than any plague. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Jurisdiction of the, Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, District of Columbia, convened in this city at True Reformers' Hall June 25-26, 1912, in its first annual session. The following named Knights were elected as the Grand Lodge officers for the year beginning July 1st, 1912: Past Grand Chancellor—M. N. Corbett, of Hannibal Lodge No. 9. Grand Chancellor—John S. Johnson, of Syracuse Lodge No. 5. Grand Keeper of Records and Seal—Brigadier General J. Clay Smith, of Syracuse Lodge No. 5. Supreme Representative—Colonel E. B. Reid, of Capital City Lodge No. 12. WALL OF THE DEFENDED. (From the Dallas, Texas, Express.) The wall of LaFollette and the lamentation of Theodore Roosevelt were both swept aside at Chicago, and the Republican National Convention gave the standard to Taft and Sherman. The Baltimore aggregation, in spite of Bryan and Bryanism, named Governor Wilson to ride the Democratic donkey. And thus it is as we go into dog days. It is all clear for whom and what we are to fight. The Dallas Express entertains little fear as to the result. The intemperate criticism of radicals like Cummins, Borah and LaFollette, and the demoniac wall of ambition-mad men like Theodore Roosevelt, will wield no influence with men who are accustomed to consult history to guide them as to their future course. As for the ancient enemy, the Democratic party, it has done the expected—adopted a platform aglow with radical specialties and abounding in glittering generalities, and placed thereon Governor Wilson, whom history will record as another of the line of good and grand men who have been sacrificed upon the altar of Democratic desire for National control. President Taft will, in all likelihood, succeed himself, and constitutional government will be preserved with its history and our institutions to continue to bless the world. ON THE FENCE. (From the Dallas, Texas, Express.) Col. Cecil A. Lyon, like a certain other Colonel "higher up," is still on the fence, peering through the mist, trying to see upon which side to alight. They should be told that while any fellow with a small cigarette and mouth full of teeth can bolt, organizing a new party, which thoughtful men follow is a horse of altogether another color. These two Colonels have not the heart of summer soldiers, nor the courage of sunshine patriots. They have not the energy of those who, at first, would have followed them, but whose contempt has been gained by the doubtful methods of the Colonels. FASHIONABLE MARRIAGE. In Old Dominion—Divorce Granted —Social News—New Society Organized Richmond, Va., July 16.—One of the most fashionable of the many marriages of the present summer was solemnized in St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal Church last Tuesday at noon, when Mr. Edward Stanley Clarke, of Farmville, led to the altar Miss Jeanette L. Forrester, one of Richmond's most popular school teachers. The chancel of the church was artistically decorated, with palms, ferns and flowers. To the strains of the Mendelssohn wedding march, the bridal party entered the church as follows: Mr. Edward J. Cook and Mr. Walter D. Jones, Mr. R. B. Sampson and Mr. A. Mosely, Mr. James Frazier and Mr. J. C Eason. Miss Omega Vaughan, bridesmaid; Miss Pearl L. Smith, maid of honor; Little Miss Geneva Tinsley, ring-bearer. The bride and her uncle, Mr. Lee S. Forrester, were met at the chancel by the groom and his best man, Dr. A. W. Mason, who entered through the vestry room. During the beautiful service, which was read by the rector, the Rev. Charles L. Sommers, the orchestra played softly the wedding march. Following the marriage, a linencheon was tendered the bridal party by Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Scott at their home in North Third street. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke left later in the afternoon for Farmville, Va., their future home. Mr. Clarke is a prominent business man of Farmville. "Rebel Surroundings" Cited Rebel Surroundings Cited General Sickle caused a shudder among many of those present when he said: "This is the first time since the war that a Southern man has been nominated for President. Wilson is a Virginian, a highly respectable gentleman, and an able man as a schoolmaster. But he was born and reared amid rebel surroundings. All his family and kindred fought in the Confederate army. We in the North never have been disposed to put a man of Southern extraction in the White House. We don't want any more secession. We don't want the doctrine of State's rights taught in the White House. I believe with Jackson, 'the Union must and shall be preserved.' That is the issue of the progressive party."—New York Exchange: Do not forget the musical picnic given by the Washington Conservatory of Music, August 8th, at Eureka Park, Anacostia.

Two places "where everybody meets everybody else." The Supreme Fountain of the National Ideal Benefit Society (Incorporated), is the name of the newest traternal organization to make its bow to the people of Virginia and to seek their support. A charter has been granted the Society, by the State Corporation Commission. The State Insurance Commissioner has made a thorough examination of the charter, tables of rates, rules and regulations under which it will operate, and these having met his approval, a license has been granted the organization to do business. It is the purpose of the promoters of the Society to go beyond the limits of the State in the prosecution of the work and to make it national in scope. The failure of the True Reformer Bank and the subsequent indictment of several of the officers of the Bank for allowing deposits to be made after it was supposed to be insolvent, and the resignation of Mr. Holmes as head of the organization, are all familiar to the public. The failure of the bank occurred within six weeks after Mr. Holmes was elected head of the organization. It is but fair to Mr. Holmes to state that he was not President of the bank at the time the crash came. Having been elected Grand Master of the Organization, which position carried with it the nominal presidency of the bank until a meeting of the stockholders of the bank, which had been ordered called for November 30th, 1910, at which time the election of president and other officers, and directors would have taken place, in keeping with the orders of the State Officials. There are few people in Richmond who believe that he knew or was responsible in any way for the bank's failure. When a grand jury returned a batch of indictments against Mr. Holmes and others of the directorate of the bank, Mr. Holmes' friends stood by him, never losing their faith in him. When friends of his tried to dissuade him from resigning as Grand Worthy Master of the Organization, his reply was, he had ratter retire than to remain and fight over the office. He resigned, and though being prosecuted by his successor, he remained quiet; never becoming discouraged and awaited the outcome, knowing that he would be vindi- cated. For more than a year, Mr. Holmes has been importunted by friends to head a movement for another fraternal organization in Richmond, but Mr. Holmes thought it best to wait until the cloud which had overshadowed him in the form of an indictment, had cleared away. The indictment was nole prosequed and Mr. Holmes never brought to trial. It is said in Holy Writ, "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and prosecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake, rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in Heaven." It goes without saying that Mr. Holmes was persecuted falsely. The new organization just launched starts out under most slattering prospects. Col. Lester was born in Baltimore, Md., August 18, 1837. Went to school on the ground where the old Camden Station now stands from 1844 to 1847. Ask your news dealer for The Bee. If he doesn't keep it on sale ask him why. Rev. William Watkins, one of the best known men in his time, went to school at Ithaca in 1852, traveled through the West in the latter part of 1852 and returned to Baltimore, and was married to Miss Elizabeth Sorrell. He moved to Dryden, N. Y., in 1858, and read law with Hon. Miles O. Goodridge for five years, served in the United States Army during the rebellion and in command of Company B of the 8th United States Colored Troop during the winter of 1864 and 1865 at Fort Harrison, Virginia. He gets the title of Colonel as staff officer of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1892. Miss Emma J. Kibble, society editor of The Bee, after having successfully passed the Civil Service Examination, has been appointed in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Strother, the founder of the First Baptist Church of North Fairmount Heights, and who has devoted most of his life in establishing the Kingdom of Christ in the hearts of men, is yet engaged in the great work. His services last Sunday and Sunday night were well attended. The established citizens here have implicit confidence in Rev. Strother, and they pledge themselves to aid him in building his church. There is a floating element who are "kicking against the pricks," but the church under the leadership of Rev. Strother will grow and prosper. We note the illness of Mr. Sidney Pittman, one of the members of the church, but are glad he is on the mend. on the internet. Mr. John Spencer, a caterer, who lived in this section, was murdered late Saturday night or early Sunday morning on Bladensburg Road, N. E., in Washington, D. C. He owned considerable property, and was a peaceable citizen. The crime was committed by a gang of white boys who loaf around the Northeast section of the city of Washington. Six of the NOAH B. BRYAN Proprietor TAFT AND SHERMAN CLUB ELECTS. J. $ \textcircled{1} $1912, by American Press Association. Hilles to Lead Taft Fight. Charles D. Hilles, of Ohio, private secretary to the president, was made national chairman of the Taft organization by the sub-committee of the national committee after a conference with the president. James B. Reynolds, of Massachusetts, a member of the tariff board, was chosen secretary. Chairman Hilles and the full national committee will meet on Friday, July 19, at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York to appoint a treasurer, executive committee and advisory committee. Otto Bannard, of New York; Charles G. Dawes and David R. Forgan, of Chicago; John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia; E. F. Swinney, of Kansas City, and John Hays Hammond, of Washington, were considered for treasurer, but not even a tentative decision was reached. Big Storm Hits Shenandoah. Shenandoah, Pa., was terrified on Wednesday by the severest electrical storm in that vicinity in many years. The storm was accompanied by a heavy rainfall and a wind of extraordinary velocity, which aided in causing considerable damage. One man was killed by stepping on a wire that had been blown down. The sky became black and the rain and wind quickly followed. Large trees on the main streets and in various sections of the town were caught in the blast and hurled to the ground. Several small shanties were blown down. The operation of telegraph, telephone, trolley and electric light companies was prevented. In the height of the storm Paul Gluse, a miner, twenty-two years old, stepped on a high tension wire and was instantly killed. Many persons fainted on seeing the accident, and numbers of women were overcome by fear at the intensely vivid lightning and deafening roars of thunder. Lightning struck the house of Peter Fabian, on West Coal street, and fired it, but the blaze was extinguished in a short time. The family was slightly shocked. Several pedestrians had narrow escapes when a large tree on South Main street was riven by lightning and fell to the ground. The fury of the storm was such that several cellieries and washezles were compelled to suspend work. During a terrific electric storm that swept over the Oley Valley, ten miles from Reading, Pa., James Ruppert, a farmer, aged thirty-five, was killed by lightning that struck a load of grain on the farm of Morris Hoffman, near Oley Line. Edwin Houck, who was working with Ruppert at the time, was so badly stunned that an hour's work was required to bring him to. The four mules in the team were killed. Little rain fell, but the thunder and lightning were the most severe in many years. A prisoner-mother's poem, wove about the desolation of her only child so touched President Taft's heart that he commuted, to expire at once, the five and a half year sentence of May E. Brown. She was convicted at Salt Lake City, June 20, 1811, of violating the white slave law. The trial judge and United States district attorney endorsed the woman's appeal for clemency, the first granted in a white slave case. Destructive Hail In North Dakota. Hail and wind storms swept over northeast North Dakota, doing great damage to growing crops. One storm swept clean a distance of three miles wide and eight miles long north of Grand Forks. Hail was banked along the roadsides a foot deep. Big Explosion at Dupont's. Several hundred pounds of powder exploded in one of the Dupont Powder company's mills along the upper Brandywine. near Wilmington, Del. No one was in the mill at the time. Two Killed by Dynamite John Coniff, of Centralia, and Joseph Scarlinsky, of Mount Carmel, were killed at the Locust Spring colliery, near Locust Gap, Pa., by an explosion of dynamite. THIRTEEN DEAD IN R. R. WRECK Fast Train Collides With Another and Telescopes Cars. Diamonds and Jewelry Missing From Bodies, Ten Cents Being Largest Sum Found on Any Corpse. Thirteen persons were killed and fifteen to twenty were injured in a wreck on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad at Western Springs, a suburb of Chicago. Coming through a fog with supposedly a clear track ahead, train No. 8, a last mail, rain at full speed into the rear of train No. 2, known as the Overland Express, from Denver, which was standing still on the track, telescoping two of the Overland's Pullman cars. Railroad officials refused to fix the blame until after the wreck had been investigated thoroughly. Mrs. F. A. Wilcox, who was in charge of the tower from which the block signals were controlled, said she was certain the block was thrown against both trains. She collapsed after the accident and still is in a highly nervous condition. The locomotive of No. 8 plowed through the rear car and crushed out the lives of helpless passengers, many of whom still were in their berths. On into the second coach the locomotive then sped. Half way through that car it veered to the left, derailing the sleeper. The locomotive was entirely stripped when it stopped. Fire soon started from the gas lights in the sleepers. Many victims, pinioned down by heavy timbers and iron, pleaded for death. Members of the fire departments of Western Springs and La Grange were on the scene within a few minutes after the wreck occurred and they put out the fire with lines of hose. Ghouls are believed to have robbed the dead before they reached the morgue in La Grange. More than a dozen large diamond sets are missing from jewelry, and although most of the dead appeared to have been persons in comfortable circumstances, a dime was the largest sum of money found on any of the bodies. In a little room above a business house in La Grange Mrs. Wilcox hid herself from visitors. The shades were drawn and she was trying to collect her thoughts. Finally she said: "Three trains instead of two passed the signals in violation of all rules, although it may have been that the engineers did not see the boards. "First I heard No. 1, a train in no way connected with the wreck, pass. Then, in a few minutes, No. 2 came by. I thought something was wrong, and I began to try to think of something to do to stop the trains from running by the board. But before I could get my wits together No. 8 had sped by. The crash followed." Another story of how the collision occurred differed from that of Mrs. Wilcoy. It was that No. 2, having been blocked by a signal, had sent a brakeman to set torpedoes to warn No. 8. No. 8 was coming down grade when the crash came. Persons responsible for the story of the torpedoes said that No. 8 had been given a signal that the track was clear and that the crew either had failed to hear the torpedo or had believed they had a clear track. A statement issued by P. S. Eustis, passenger traffic manager of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, substantiated Mrs. Wilcoy's assertion that she was not to blame and also corroborates the story that torpedoes were set by the brakeman of No. 2. The statement does not fix the blame for the collision. -EXPLOSION KILLS FOUR Boiler of Engine Running Threshing Machine Blows Up. While threshing wheat at Cary Booker's arm, near Prospect, Va., the boiler of an engine owned by A. W. Woolf and being run by Robert Johnson, exploded, killing instantly four men and seriously injuring several others, one of whom may die. Those killed were Robert Johnson, John Booker, William and James Henderson. It is supposed that water got too low in the boiler, causing the explosion. One of the men killed was at some distance from the machine, at work in the field, being struck by flying fragments. NOW CLAIM THE RIVER Coal Company Orders Boats to Pay Fee or Quit Lehigh.

PROHIBITIONISTS NOMINATE CHAFIN THEY ARE LOUDLY CHEERED National Convention Nominates Former Standard Bearers For President and Vice President. Eugene W. Chafin, of Tuscan, Ariz., was nominated for president on the first ballot by the Prohibition national convention in Atlantic City, N. J. The vote was: Chafin, 502; Emerson, 90; Houston, 18; Watkins, 94; Hendrickson, 36; Scanlon, 5; Bellour, 1. On motion of Mr. Emerson, Mr. Chafin's nomination was made unanimous. Aaron S. Watkins, of Ada, O., was nominated for vice president by acclamation. He was also Chafin's running mate four years ago. Mr. Chafin was first placed in nomination for president by William Sibley, a delegate from Arizona. Mr. Chafin was the Prohibition standard-bearer four years ago. The presentation of his name was loudly applauded. Four candidates for president were placed in nomination against Mr. Chafin. They were F. W. Emerson, of California; Finley C. Hendrickson, of Maryland; Aaron S. Watkins, of Ohio, and Andrew Jackson Houston, of Texas. Each in turn withdrew his name after the first ballot, Mr. Houston creating enthusiasm by the statement that he would rather receive the lowest vote in the Prohibition convention than the highest in either the Democratic or Republican convention. The leading candidates against Mr. Watkins for vice president were Mr. Emerson, of California, and George L. Stockwell, of New York. Both of the party candidates were called to the platform and made brief speeches. Mr. Chafin said he regarded the nomination as the greatest political honor bestowed upon any man this year. He thanked the convention for his second nomination and promised not to stand for a third nomination. After the nominations the convention was forced to rush its business to a conclusion, 24 many of the delegates were leaving. Because of this the proposal to change the name of the party was not acted upon. A. J. Orem, of Massachusetts, in a brief speech, promised to pledge more money to the campaign fund should the name be changed. "I believe we could make the campaign fund do double duty if we should adopt a new name," said Mr. Orem. "We would be greatly aided in carrying our banner to success if we should adopt the name 'Progressive.'" There were many shouts of protest to this, as well as to the name "Conservation" party, suggested by Rev. S. H. Taft, of California. Michael J. Fanning, of Philadelphia, led the appeal for campaign funds when the convention began. For an hour the convention was given over to the money question. The former national chairman, Charles R. Jones, announced that $31,000 had been subscribed, and that a campaign fund of at least $150,000 ought to be raised. John E. Gill, of Pennsylvania, offered to subscribe $1000, providing the national committee would agree to spend $10,000 on motion picture features during the campaign. Henry D. Clayton, chairman of the house committee on judiciary, presented to the house thirteen articles of impeachment against Judge Robert W. Archbald, of the United States court of commerce. The house, by a vote of 223 to 1, ordered his impeachment. The report was unanimous. It constitutes the ninth impeachment of a judicial or civil official since the foundation of the government, and is the first since the impeachment trial of Judge Charles Swayne, of the Northern district of Florida, who was acquitted Feb. 27, 1905. "The conduct of this judge has been exceedingly reprehensible and in marked contrast with the high sense of judicial ethics and probity that generally characterize the federal judiciary," the committee says in summing up against Judge Archbald. His business transactions while a judge are held to unfit him for further service on the bench. A resolution is included formally impeaching him and requiring his trial before the senate. "Your committee is of the opinion that Judge Archbald's sense of moral responsibility has become deadened," says the report. "He has prostituted his high office for personal profit. He has attempted by various transactions to commercialize his potentiality as a judge. "He has shown an overweening desire to make gainful bargains with parties having cases before him or likely to have cases before him. To accomplish this purpose he has not hesitated to use his official power and influence. He has degraded his high office and has destroyed the confidence of the public in his judicial integrity. He has forfelt the condition upon which he holds his commission and should be removed from office by impeachment. "A judge should be the personification of integrity, of honor and of uprightness in his daily walk and conversation. He should hold his exalted office and the administration of justice above the sordid desire to accumulate wealth by trading or trafficking with actual or probable litigants in his court. He should be free and unaffected by any bias born of avarice and unhampered by pecuniary or other improper obligations." Saved by Corset-Like Armor. Benjamin Rukis, a prosperous fish dealer of East New York, with the knowledge, he says, that some of his business rivals had poisoned his horses, forcing him to buy an automobile, took further protective measures against his enemies, it developed when a man lurking in a hallway fired three shots at Rukis as he was driving his car along Powell street. Witnesses expected to see Rukis drop dead or seriously wounded. Instead he chased his assailant into the arms of a policeman. To the wendering officer Rukis offered no oral explanation, simply pulling off his coat, which act revealed a shining armor, corset-like, beneath his outer garment. All three bullets had found their mark, but had only dented the armor, which was of thick aluminum. Rukis' alleged assailant, who said he lived in Hoboken, was held for examination. Woman Leaps Seven Stories to Death. Wearied by her struggle to provide food for her family of eight, Mrs. Mary Ernst, forty-eight years old, left the breakfast table and went to the roof of the tenement at 814 Tenth avenue, in New York, from which she jumped to the cement pavement of the areaway, seven stories below. Death was instantaneous. Neighbors say that Mrs. Srnst had been brooding over her misfortunes for the past two weeks and had threatened to kill herself. The mother's death leaves Lena, the seventeen-year-old daughter, the only breadwinner in the family, for the father, Charles Ernst, has not worked for more than a year. Jack Johnson Under $5000 Bail. Jack Johnson, the champion heavyweight prize fighter, and his wife were arraigned before United States Commissioner Buell in the federal court in Chicago upon a charge of smuggling a diamond necklace into the United States. Both were released on bonds of $5000 each. The date for the trial was not set. Finds Buzzard With Bell on Neck. Andrew Schoener, of the Charming Forge tarm, near Wonelsdorf, Pa., while working in a field discovered several turkey buzzards hovering over the body of a calf and was attracted by the ringing of a bell. He found that one of the birds had a brass bell died around its neck with a yellow ribbon. Senator Bristow Is In Roosevelt Camp. United States Senator Joseph L. Bristow, of Kansas, has declared for Theodore Roosevelt for president in a letter to William Allen White, Roosevelt national committeeman from Kansas. Mr. Bristow declares that the renomination of President Taft was "fraudulent," and that "Republicans are in no way bound by it." Three Dead From Poisoned Food.

Smith permits the carriage to get away from the last printing point, so instantaneously that no speed of operation is too rapid. The hair trigger touch of the ball bearing type bars, a carriage that is never shifted for capitals, a capital shift key requiring only one-third ordinary pressure, a combined one-motion carriage return and line space, which spaces one, two or three lines with the same sweep, and the lightest possible carriage tension—give an ease of operation that makes all day speed easy for the operator. The always rigid carriage, stationary printing point, the arrangement of ribbon shift and back spaces, and the fact that no necessary operation takes the hands from the writer's position—combines speed with accuracy in the L.
