IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. Congressional Library, THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIV, NO. 12 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1913 RACE SEGREGATION President Wilson Asked to Treat Colored Americans Justly. New York, Aug. 15. To Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States. Dear Mr. President: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its Board of Directors, respectfully protests against the policy of your administration in segregating the colored employees in the departments at Washington. It realizes that this new and radical departure has been recommended and is now being defended on the ground that by giving certain bureaus or sections wholly to colored employees they are thereby rendered safer in possession of their offices and are less likely to be ousted or discriminated against. We believe this reasoning to be fallacious. It is based on a failure to appreciate the deeper significance of the new policy; to understand how far-reaching the effects of such a drawing of caste lines by the Federal Government may be, and how humiliating it is to the men thus stigmatized. Never before has the Federal Government discriminated against its civilian employees on the ground of color. Every such act heretofore has been that of an individual State. The very presence of the Capitol and of the Federal flag has drawn colored people to the District of Columbia in the belief that living there under the shadow of the National Government itself they were safe from the persecution and discrimination which follow them elsewhere because of their dark skin. Today they learn that, though their ancestors have fought in every war in behalf of the United States, in the fiftieth year after Gettysburg and emancipation, this government, founded on the theory of complete equality and freedom for all citizens, has established two classes among its civilian employees. It has set the colored apart as if mere contact with them were contamination. The efficiency of their labor, the principles of scientific management are disregarded, the possibilities of promotion if not now will soon be severely limited. To them is held out only the prospect of mere subordinate routine service without the stimulus of advancement to high office by merit, a right deemed inviolable for all white natives as for the children of the foreign born, of Italians, French and Russians, Jews and Christians who are now entering the Government service. For to such limitation this segregation will inevitably lead. Who took the trouble to ascertain what our colored clerks thought about this order, to which their consent was never asked? Behind screens and closed doors they now sit apart as though leprous. Men and women alike have the badge of inferiority pressed upon them by Government decree. How long will it be before the hateful epithets of "nigger" and "Jim-Crow" are openly applied to these sections? Let any one experienced in Washington affairs, or any trained newspaper correspondent answer. The colored people themselves will tell you how soon sensitive and high-minded members of their race will refuse to enter the Government service which thus decrees what is to them the most hateful kind of discrimination. Indeed, there is a widespread belief among them that this is the very purpose of these unwarrantable orders. And wherever there are men who rob the Negroes of their votes, who exploit and degrade and insult and lynch those whom they call their inferiors, there this mistaken action of the Federal Government will be cited as the warrant for new racial outrages that cry out to high heaven for redress. Who shall say where discrimination once begun shall cease? Who can deny that every act of discrimination the world over breeds fresh injustice? For the lowly of all classes you have lifted up your voice and not in vain. Shall ten millions of our citizens say that their civic liberties and rights are not safe in your hands? To ask the question is to answer it. They desire a "New Freedom," too, Mr. President, yet they include in that term nothing else than the rights guaranteed them by the Constitution under which they believe they should be protected from persecution based upon a physical quality with which Divine Providence has endowed them. They ask therefore that you, born of a great section which prides itself upon its chivalry towards the humble and the weak, prevent a gross injustice which is an injustice none the less because it was actuated in some quarters by a genuine desire to aid those now discriminated against. Yours for justice. THE NATIONAL ASS'N FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. W. E. BURGHARDT DuBOIS. Director of Publicity. OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD, Chairman of the Board. Chautauqua at Lincoln, Md. The Chautauqua at Lincoln, Md. was opened last Monday by Bishop John Hurst, the president. The first session was a meeting of the Baltimore and Washington business leagues. Hon. J. C. Napier made the address of the day and among others making speeches were Mr. H. T. Pratt and Hon. W. Ashbie Hawkins; of Baltimore. Resulting from this meeting a Maryland State business league was organized with the following officers: C. C. Fitzgerald, president; H. T. Pratt, vice president; D. H. Murphy, secretary, and J. F. Fessenden, treasurer. Then followed a Sunday School congress, at which papers were read by Mr. Davis, of Baltimore, on Sunday School work generally, Mrs. Waddleton, of Washington, on Primary Work in the Sunday School, and Mrs. Rebecca Gray, of Washington, on Responsibility of Success in Sunday School Work. So excellent were the suggestions, papers and addresses by Dr. Parks, of Philadelphia, Prof. Hawkins, of Washington, and others, that it was deemed wise to make this a permanent feature and the Lincoln Chautauqua Sunday School Movement was organized with Prof. J. R. Hawkins president. At this meeting Prof. Eichelberger, of Arkansas, who was a delegate to the World's Sunday School Convention at Zurich, from which he had recently arrived in this country, gave a report of that most important and interesting convention. Lincoln, Md., is by nature a most beautiful spot-with a well shaded park of tall oak trees near the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis railway station, fine springs and all that make it an ideal place and location for such meetings. It is well adapted to family and school picnics, such as will be a feature of next week's sessions. The following days are scheduled: Camp meeting and corner stone laying Sunday, at which Bishop Coppin will officiate; Monday, Masonic and Odd Fellow Day; Tuesday, Knights of Pythias, Banneker Relief and Young Men's Immediate Relief; Wednesday, Women's Day; Thursday and Friday, Family Picnics; Saturday, an address by Senator Clapp, of Minnesota; Sunday, Y. M. C. A. Day; Labor Day, celebration by the Hod Carriers' Union of Baltimore and Washington. FEDERATION OF WOMEN An Enthusiastic Meeting in Boston, Mass.—An Appeal for Justice and Fair Play. Special to The Bee. Boston, Mass.—The Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs held its annual session at Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 13, 14 and 15. In response to the address of welcome on Citizens' Night, Mrs. Leila A. Penidleton, of Washington, spoke as follows: "One hundred and forty years ago the Negro slaves of Boston, out of the bitter blackness of their despair, sent to the General Court of Massachusetts that plea which deserves rank among the classics of American literature. Said they in part: 'We have no property; we have no wives; we have no children; we have no city; no country.' It is a far cry from that time to this hour when the wives and daughters, mothers and sisters of Negro Americans, coming from homes where love and tenderness reign, are cordially welcomed to assemble in shadow of old Harvard. Behold, what God hath wrought. "And so, with hearts overflowing with gratitude, the members of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs take up the work of their seventeenth annual session. As we survey our field of labor we realize that the highest good of our common country demands the utmost effort of white and black citizens alike. We also fully realize the burden which fate has superimposed upon the Negro women of this country. "The white man's burden is to lift; tis ours to lift and climb, struggling within our own souls against the baleful heritage of ignorance and oppression, groping in the darkness toward the distant light, mistaking our way, retracing our steps, endeavoring to arouse those who, contented, slumber by the wayside, urging; begging, constraining them to come with us; suffering at their hands misunderstanding and impugment of motive; nevertheless, we cherish within us bright hopes for the future of our whole race. Our efforts for ourselves and for each other are often hindered by some who, because of superior advantages, should lend us every assistance; but though often troubled and perplexed, we are not altogether without help; though persecuted, we are not forsaken: though cast down, we are not destroyed. "Citizens of this commonwealth, we bespeak for the people of our race your continued interest and friendship and when, as so often happens, some particularly diabolical crime is committed against us, consider, with pity, the effect of such upon the upward striving Negro women and exercise, we beg you, your influence in our behalf. "O! Massachusetts, cling close to thy traditions, hold fast to thine integrity. O! descendants of Adams and Otis, of Crispus Attucks and Salem Poor, of Garrison, Phillins and Somner, of the innumerable host of tion-hearted men and women who knew alive the love of liberty, quench not the spirit within you. Above all let us every one remember the commandments of God to do them. "His righteous law is all our trust Who builds on else but builds or dust: The mighty should, the lowly must Rely alway." O BISHOP ALEXAN DER WALTERS. Disgusted With the Democratic Party for Its Treatment Towards Colored Americans. ATLANTIC CITY ELKS ATLANTIC - CITY TO BE CAPTURED BY 5,000 ELKS.

Norfolk, Va., Aug. 18.—The Virginia delegation of the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World with J. Finley Wilson, Grand United Deputy Organizer and associate editor and manager of the Baltimore Times, as its chairman, is making preparation to attend the Grand Lodge of Elks, which meets in Atlantic City, N. J., August 27th. The delegation is strong in its support of Deputy Wilson for Grand Exalted Ruler of the order. During his administration as Grand Organizer he has added more lodges and members than any other man, breaking all previous records. He is also strongly supported for the position by the District of Columbia and Maryland delegates. It is authoritatively stated that Mr. Wilson has a good running chance and will be a popular favorite at the convention. His friends all over the country are urging him to accept the nomination. When about to leave Norfolk today to attend the business league and Press Association, which meets in Philadelphia, he talked favorably on the subject saying that although his friends were urging him for the place he had not given them a definite answer as to whether they could use his name. The delegation feels sure that Mr. Wilson will accept the nomination if tendered him and are planning to nominate him before the convention. THE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Great Many Present. (Special to The Rec.) (Special To The Bee.) Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 20.—The National Negro Business League's fourteenth annual meeting was called to order at 10:30 this morning by Dr. A. B. Jackson, president of the local league. Dr. Washington will speak at the great meeting at Academy of Music tonight, Wednesday. The attendance is very large. The first of the affiliating organizations to meet was the National Negro Press Association, which met here Monday. In point of attendance the meeting was very disappointing, not more than ten being present who come for that purpose. At the meeting at Cherry St. Church Monday night, although well advertised, was but poorly attended. It is believed that with a new president, one who is a publisher, the organization can be built up. The Negro Bankers' Association and the Negro Funeral Directors also held separate sessions. The chief interest centered in the daily sessions, Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, of the Business League. These sessions were wonderfully inspiring and intensely interesting. The banquet and hall Friday night is expected to be the most brilliant affair ever held here by Negroes, and the excursion up the Delaware Saturday is being looked forward to with pleasurable interest. The city is filled with strangers to the league meeting.

Leavenworth, Kan.—Twenty-five murders committed with an ax within the last three years in Missouri, Kansas Colorado, Iowa and Illinois are ascribed to Henry Lee Moore, now serving a life term in the Missouri penitentiary according to a theory formed by M. W. McClaughry, special agent of the department of justice, after an exhaustive study of the so called ax murders Mr. McClaughry is a son of Warden McClaughry of the federal penitentiary here and has charge of the bureau of criminal identification at the penitentiary. Moore went to the penitentiary at Jefferson City after being found guilty of the murder of his mother and grandmother, Mrs. Mary Wilson and Mrs. George Moore, at Columbus, Mo., in December last year. Moore, on trial said he had made a study of famous murders, including the Crippen case in England. AN UNUSUAL MORTGAGE. Farmer Puts Up Chickens, Hogs and Revolver as Security. Washington, Ga.—There was placed on record in the office of the clerk of Wilkes county what is considered the most unusual mortgage ever recorded in this or any other county. The security named in the recorded instrument consists of the following valuable property—to wit: "Nine chicken hens, two sow hogs and a 32 caliber platol." The amount of the debt thus secured is $23, and it is provided that if the obligation is not met at maturity the property mentioned therein shall be sold at public outcry. All home-stand exemption rights are waived by the maker of the mortgage. The question is being asked, "Does this mortgage emphasize the increasing value of the 'hog and hominy' propaganda, or is it but another indication of the extreme stringency in the land about which so much has been said and written—which?" Bangor, Me.-A Malne sheriff might find a barrel of beer or even a jug of whisky, but he can't find a beer lozenge or a cocktail tablet, and over that glad fact the thirsty of this state are rejoicing now. For the tabloid booze drummer has come to Maine and is doing a rushing business in condensed drinks of all kinds, from plain whisky, to cocktails and from beer to gin flizzes. The drummer carries a considerable stock of the tablets with him for immediate demands and arranges for further and unlimited supplies by mail. Many bars in Bangor, Lewiston and Portland are selling tabloid drinks, while a great many men who just must have their whisky or beer when they want it have obtained their own supplies and make their liquor at home while they wait, and the wait is not long. Nobody here knows anything about the constituent elements of the tablets, but nobody cares so long as they produce something that looks and tastes like liquor The tablets come in little paper boxes or glass bottles of a dozen each and the price varies. A small phial of one kind of tablets, costing 13 cents dissolved in a gallon of water, with other ingredients costing 50 cents, makes a gallon of what passes for whisky—total cost, 63 cents. It is not whisky that would appeal to a connoisseur, for it burns and bites all the way down, but is as near to whisky as a good many people are able to get in some parts of Maine, and it "goes." WHISTLING CAT HAS HARELIP Animal Never Has Mewed, but Is Musical Prodigy. Springfield, Mass.—Stanislaus Czynszy of Prospect avenue. West Springfield, is the owner of a cat with a harellip, which whistles with the vcllity of a schoolboy, but cannot mew or, at least, never has mewed. Czynszy is inclined to believe that no animal in its normal state of mind would whistle, but is to牙 to do away with the cat, which, he says, attracts more attention than any other member of the family and is regarded as a musical prodigy. Neighbors have suggested that the cat would prove a treasure to a maker of catgut wool strings. Hen Lays Tiniest of Eggs. Vancouver. Wash.—An egg weighing but fifteen grains, laid by a real live hen, is the property of Mrs. Harvey Alexander of this city. The egg, about half the size of a hazelnut, is but 1-3/4 part of a pound. Mrs. Alexander found an egg with a soft shell, which crushed in when she picked it up, and inside was the small egg, perfect in shape and with a hard shell. Southland is a four-story ten-cent race This is the outgrowth of a small company that started years ago and by dollar subscriptions raised twenty thousand dollars. Recently they have enlarged their space and are now covering four floors It is patronized by both race and gives employment to twenty-five members of our race and to two white girls who have been employed in other ten-cent stores. These white girls act as managers in different departments. The store is well kept store owned and operated by the and the grade of merchandise that is sold is equal to any for the money. It is not only the largest but the only one of its kind in America. It proves to the world that if the race would unite throughout the United States they would be successful. One of its kind could be made to pay in any of the large Northern cities, namely New York and Chicago. There is a vast field in the latter city, and as the young men and women are denied a place to work in the stores of the other race, it would give employment to the otherwise idle. 11th Born to 11th of 11th: 11th Born to 11th of 11th.

Per Cent Bonds Taken as Security at Par-Commercial Paper Also Will Be Accepted as Collateral For Loans-First Time In History. Washington.-Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has taken action which will checkmate any attempt made by New York bankers in their fight on the currency bill to tighten up on loans when farmers and commission men need money to move their crops. He ordered transferred from the treasury vaults to the national banks in the south and west from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 of the $500,000,000 emergency currency to facilitate the movement of crops. This step is taken under the Aldrich-Vreeland emergency currency law. The secretary further made the 2 per cent, government bonds good as security for this emergency currency. He has directed that the 2 per cent bonds be accepted as security at par. He believes this will tend to force the price of the bonds up and offset the bear movement which drove them down to 95%. State and municipal bonds and prime commercial paper will also be accepted as security, the latter, it is said, for the first time in the history of the government. The secretary took the precaution to prevent banks from withdrawing from circulation all of their national bank currency secured by the 2 per cent government bonds by ordering that no A bank which had not taken out at least 40 per cent of its authorized circulation should receive any deposits of this emergency circulation. This policy is directly opposed to that adopted by former Secretary of the Treasury McVeigh, who a year ago declined to make government deposits to relieve the tight money market on the ground that the moderate surplus federal funds at that time should be held as a reserve to be utilized at some possible critical stage. With the net balance in the general fund amounting to nearly $132,000,000, Secretary McAdoo has taken the stand that the government should anticipate the situation by placing deposits where and at the time they are needed. If the full $50,000,000 is deposited this step will temporarily nearly double the government's deposits with the banks, which at the present time hold $58,000,000 of federal funds. While Secretary McAdoo was announcing his plan Senator Tillman of South Carolina was issuing a statement declaring that unless congress acted quickly to provide an emergency currency the cotton planters of the south would lose $100,000,000 through inability to get money in New York to move their crops. "US GIRLS" VERY PEEVED. Ask United States to "Fira" Postal Clerk Who "Spoons." Washington. - Postmaster General Burleson is called upon to solve many riddles. The intent is a quarrel between young women patrons of the postoffice in a thriving western town and a woman clerk. The row was brought to Mr. Burleson's attention by the following letter: Dear Sir--The girl in the postoffice here reads us girls cards and tells us what is in them. Also this girl has a beau, her man standing at the window spooning all the time. Wish you would look into it and change, for we are very sick of her. Farmers cannot get to the window after their mail. I remain. DOG AIDS STRANDED AUTO. Runs Twenty-five Miles With Note and Brings Relief to Athletes. Wilmington, Del.-The Christiana Athletic club's auto bus broke down on a country road near Middletown. Del., twenty-five miles south of here. A note asking for help was tled to the club's dog, and the animal was told to go home. The dog started on a run and made the Journey to Wilmington in two hours, arriving at the clubhouse exhausted. A relief bus got to the stranded ball players in another hour. SEEKING BEST FARM SYSTEM Report on Theses of Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota. Washington—Dr. Thomas N. Carver, head of the rural organization service, department of agriculture, has reported to Secretary Houston that he had found the farmers in northern Iowa and southern Minnesota about as well organized and as prosperous as any in the world. Dr. Carver is studying co-operative systems in practice in the northwest, with a view to recommending the best ideas in use there to farmers in other parts of the country. Since the start of the rural organization service, a few months ago, intensive studies have been going on in Minnesota into every phase of the farm life there, social, moral and economic. "Our principal work," said Dr. Carver recently, "will be to find out where the best possible farming conditions prevail and what causes are responsible for this success and then to get farmers elsewhere to adopt similar methods with the hope that equally good results will follow." BANKING BY MAIL. ALSO. Announced In Connection With Extension of Parcel Post. Washington. - Postmaster General Burleson announced that on Aug. 15, the same date as that on which the extension of the parcel post is effective, the "banking by multi" feature becomes a part of the postal savings system. This innovation will enable depositors living in remote districts to avail themselves of the system. In the matter of the parcel post, Mr. Burleson announced that after Aug. 15 the weight limit on packages is placed at twenty pounds and that a reduction in charges was ordered for local delivery from 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional pound to 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional two pounds or fraction thereof. For delivery in the first zone the rate will be reduced from 5 cents for the first and 3 cents for each additional pound to 5 cents and 1 cent; for the second zone the rate will be cut from 6 cents and 4 cents to 5 cents and 1 cent for each additional pound. Washington. - The Interstate commerce commission has ordered the express companies to lower their rates improve their service and modify their practices and systems of accounts The order issued by the commission radically lowers the rates on express packages under fifty pounds. The reductions, which range from 10 to 60 per cent, with an average of 15 per cent, will cost the companies $26,000,000, or nearly 110 per cent of their gross revenue. It is estimated. The new rules become effective Oct. 15 and continue for two years. It is believed that it will require two years to try out the proposed schedules. In making the order Commissioner Marble said the report and order lay the following requirements upon the express companies: The adoption of the block system of stating rates; the establishment of a uniform classification; the publication of a joint directory of express stations; the publication jointly of the pick up and delivery limits at each station; the adoption of revised rules and regulations. Under the present method of compiling tariffs 000,000,000 separate rates are published by the express companies. Under the block system the number is reduced to 650,000. The United States is to be divided into 050 blocks, averaging 2,500 square miles to the block. The most important change is in the modification of the present graduated scale of parcel rates. The 100 pound rates for short distances have either been but slightly reduced or have been left unchanged. For long distances the 100 pound rates have been somewhat reduced. MRS. EATON'S TRIAL SET. Must Face Jury Oct. 13' For Murder of Admiral Greenfield, Mass.-Chief Justice Alken of the superior court has ordered that the trial of Mrs. Jennie Mizy Eaton, for the murder of her husband, Rear Admiral Joseph Gilles Eaton, be called at Plymouth on Oct 13. Mrs. Eaton was arrested twelve days after the admiral died from poisoning at their home in Assnilipp, on March 8. With the exception of two brief appearances in court she has since been in jail at Plymouth. Mrs. Eaton is accused of having placed poison in coffee and other food prepared for the admiral. Fond du Lac, Wk. - Death by drowning in a milk can that contained only four inches of water was the fate of Norman, the four-year-old son of Mr and Mrs. Ed Schumacher of Calumetville. The child's chair, standing at the side of the milk can, guided the grandmother when she sought the missing child, who had fallen headforemost into the receptacle and was dead.

The Bee is not surprised at the treatment of colored Americans by the Democratic party. Negro Democracy is dead and buried. There is nothing for colored Democrats to hope for now. Colored Democracy has been persuaded to believe that the Democratic administration would recognize colored Democracy. What can it expect? Any kind of being will suit the Democratic party, but a colored man, faithful as he has been to the republic, loyal as he has been to the flag, and obedient to the laws, he is not wanted as a servant in this government. The devil persuaded the angels to rebel against God, and when the final end came Satan and his followers took two-thirds of the angels in heaven with him. Where is Satan today? In hell, with his followers. Certain colored Americans were persuaded to rebel and leave the party which gave them freedom and independence and go with those who enslaved them. It was the filthy lucure that led them estray. They were not to follow the devil. What is their condition today? Not being satisfied with what they have suffered, their condition is just as bad today as it has ever been. The South is in the saddle. That which was lost by the sword has been gained by the pen. The entire country has been poisoned with the doctrine of Southern secession, and the colored men, who have been so faithful and loyal to the cause of this Union, are today the slaves of the Southern oligarchy. Colored Democracy has been last and today it has been given a receipt in full for services (?) rendered in the campaign of 1912. The Bee warned the hot-headed politicians then. The Bee continues to warn the Negro sychophants in the departments not to represent to the administration that they represent the entire colored race and that segregation is endorsed by it. If there are colored men in the departments who are catering to the whins of Democracy to enable them to hold their jobs to the detriment of the race. The Bee warns them that they will be exposed and held up to the world as traitors. Negro Democracy is dead. It is lost to the world. Its hopes have been blighted and its acceptance gone. The South has declared against it and yet a Western Democrat will accept a foreign mission to a Negro Republic where he must associate with the blacks socially. What hypocrisy! He will mingle with the cultured blacks of Havti. How can he endure them? How will he look escorting an ebony Haytien to a state reception or promending with one at a state reception? White Democracy will take anything that contains the filthy lucre. Negro Democracy claimed every office held by Negro Republicans and have received none of them up to date. "Othello's occupation is gone." REV. TAYLOR There is one sensible man in this community and his name is Rev. Taylor, pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. His rebuke to the preacher who went out of his way to attack colored members of the bar at the funeral of our late friend, Wm. L. Pollard, was timely and should be a lesson to all jackleg men who have mistaken their calling. When a man, calling himself a preacher, 'takes the opportunity to give vent to his spleen and demagogy at a funeral in the presence of intelligent people. The Bee must conclude that he is unworthy to be ever invited again to a seat in the pulpit. The Bee is confident that the exhibition that was witnessed last Friday when colored members of the bar were unjustly attacked, will certainly be a lesson to Rev. Taylor and all other ministers of the gospel not to invite Tom, Dick and Harry to their pulpits because they have a ministerial stamp undeservedly placed upon them. Rev. Taylor is a man and a gentleman who has the respect and confidence of the people in this city. Because one or two colored members of the bar mistreat clients, certainly there is no reason that we should misjudge all of them. A majority of the people in this community don't judge all colored lawyers alike. If The Bee should tell all it knows about some ministers, they would be startled. Because some ministers are bad, is there any reason that all of them are bad? Rev. Taylor, as well as all other sensible ministers, should beware of jackleg ministers. Rev. W. J. Howard, no doubt one of the leading ministers of the gospel in the county, and Rev. S. L. Corrothers, and dozens of others, believe in colored lawyers. But was a funeral the place to give vent to your malicious spleen? If this so-called minister had a grievance, it should not have been exploded at a funeral. The dignified reply that was given by Rev. Tavlor was the comment of the people who had assembled to do honor to the memory of a much-loved young man. Those members of the bar who attended did not attend to be insulted. Every lawyer made a sacrifice to attend and in the future if the great God should call another, see to it that ministers of the gospel are invited who have sense as well as decency for the solemnity of the occasion. The Bee is proud of its colored bar. RACE SEGREGATION. Nothing would be more ridiculous, not to say criminal, than to begin a dispute at this tragical crisis of the race's history as to who first called to the President's attention the injustice of racial segregation in the departments here in Washington. As a matter of fact, there is no room for dispute! The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through the chairman of its Executive Committee, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, was first to enter formal protest against the contemplated injustice and humiliation of a faithful group of government employees. Mr. Villard was also first to make a personal call on the President concerning the matter. We call attention to the matter this early in order that the readers of The Bee may not be misled by statements of out-of-town napers who are not served by resident correspondents, or if they are served by such correspondents the service is untrustworthy or incompetent. The Bee and the New York Age were the first to sound the signal of alarm and to publish the facts as they really existed. We did this at least a month before there was a line in a single white paper concerning the matter. Not a single other Negro paper in the country contained a straight, unequivocal narrative of the outrage until after the white papers began to comment about it. The Freeman admits that it got its information from an account taken from an Indianapolis daily white paper, although R. Wordy Thompson, its Washington correspondent, was every day of his verbose life, since July 15, making use of a lavatory in the Treasury Department on the door of which was the sign, "For Colored Men." The Washington correspondent of the Guardian treated the matter as trivial, stating that it was merely a continuation and extension of practices heretofore existing, thus apologizing for and excusing the thing, and becoming particeps criminis to an invasion of the rights of his people. Thus did the Mad Mullah of the so-called "radicals" show the real stuff of which he is made. We want to be fair to Editor Trotter and say that we believe if he had had a competent, discriminating correspondent on the ground, who would have reported facts as they really existed, he (Editor Trotter) would have published them, and would not now be in the rear of the procession of race defenders at this juncture. BEGINNING TO THINK. segregation and "Jim Crow" agitation, the citizens of color are just attending to their own business and allowing the poor whites who are afraid that the world may believe that they are tainted with Negro blood, abuse us to enable them to hide their shame. The Bee has often said that a real white person never allows himself to be worried about a colored person and his progress. A real Southern gentleman before the war would not permit his colored servants to associate with the poor whites. This is the class that control the South today. The real white gentleman is relegated to the rear in the South and the poor white trash is in the saddle. The Pughes, Lemars, Blackburns and such Southern gentlemen, who have passed away, would rise up in shame if they could but witness the bloody scenes in the South today and see who commit them and who are in control. The colored man is beginning to think. He is no longer asleep at his post. The world will become disgusted with itself and the poor whites in the South will meet their Waterloo. Vardaman has the prayers of the American colored people. They pray for him as they prayed for Ben Tillman. His tongue will suddenly cease to articulate and then he will be too glad to be nursed by those against whom he is sending his phillips. Go on, Vardaman, Hefflin, Thompson, Simmes and others; the colored people are offering daily prayers for you. They don't believe in the shotgun, the bomb and other instruments of defense. They believe in their God, who brought them from bondage. The time is near and all of you will have as much as you can do to defend yourselves from the enemies without. COLORED TRAITORS Reported That Negro Clerk Favored Segregation. It is reported upon good and reliable authority that a colored clerk, in one of the departments of the government wrote and informed the Secretary of the Treasury that he favored the segregation of colored emplovers. When this fact was made known several colored Democrats went to Secretary McAdoo and appealed to him to have those "Jim Crow" signs that decorated the toilets for colored people only torn down. Long before this was done, however, the Editor of The Bee sent a letter to President Wilson, which was acknowledged by Secretary Tumulty, calling his attention to the "Jim Crow" toilets that had been instituted in the departments of the Treasury Departments and other departments of the general government. Last week, by some mysterious order, the "Jim Crow" signs in the Treasury Department were ordered to be taken down at once. By whose order those signs were torn down The Bee doesn't know, but they are down at certain entrances in the toilets. What does the Secretary intend to do with his white and colored char women? Then, since the signs are down, is it understood that the colored employees may use any toilet that may exist in the Treasury Department? There was great rejoicing in the Treasury Department when the signs went down last week. One of the most progressive men in the newspaper business and a lawyer who is making his way in the world is James A. Lightfoot, Esq., editor of the Atlantic City Advocate. As chairman of the Publicity Committee of the Elks of the World Mr. Lightfoot has made the coming Fourteenth Convention of the Elks the greatest in the history of the organization. It is said that the event will be one of the greatest that has ever been witnessed. This meeting is upon the tongues of every citizen, whether he is an Elk or not. From all reports, the largest crowd that ever left this city will go to Atlantic City next week. This enthusiasm among the Elks is due to Editor Lightfoot, who has exerted every effort to make this event known from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Lakes to the Gulf. The program that is mapped out is great. The parade will be the greatest in the history of the order. The reception will take place in Young's Million Dollar Pier. This city will outdo itself. A REAL PRESS ASSOCIATION When publishers of newspapers for colored people have sense enough to organize a real bona fide newspaper association, the colored editors will join. No respectable editor will follow a shadow or a man who has no visible means of establishing a paper of his own, but depends upon bona fide editors to publish his news, is not the man to be at the head of a so-called press association. The Bee is at a loss to know what became of the senses of men calling themselves editors, when they elected a man president of an association who owns no paper, never had a paper, and who never expects to own a paper, but always making suggestions how to run a paper, and who has never been able to run one himself. There should be a real editorial press association of real editors. Not shams, but real men. Will real editors come together and organize? A real press association should not be controlled by any man or set of men. It should be free of party domination. There should be a law passed to arrest, all bogus newspaper correspondents or men who claim to represent papers, but represent nothing. BISHOP WALTERS. And His Allied Colored Democracy Disappointed Politicians, The Distinguished Churchman Disappointed and Disgusted. Bishop Alexander Walters, who led the colored Democracy in the last Presidential campaign, arrived in the city last week and phoned his congratulations to The Bee for its fight against this notorious segregation of colored Americans in the several departments of the government. Bishop Walters said to a Bee representative that he was opposed to the action of the administration against the colored people and he wanted it understood that he condemned these discriminatory orders inaugurated in the several departments of the government. Not only did he condemn these unjust and unfair orders, but he was surprised at the action of the Democratic administration toward the colored people. That he had assurances from President Wilson that the colored people would be fairly treated and at the proper time he will convince the country that he has made no misrepresentation to the colored people. GONE GRAZY Which is the more ridiculous in the minds of the genuine and intelligent white and colored people: the Negro who wants to be white or the poor white man with Negro blood in his veins, who is keeping up a howl against the Negro to hide his own identity? Whenever you hear a man or woman make so much noise about his or her color you can just put it down that he has Negro blood in his veins. The genuine article needs no inspection. It is always the person who wears a false face who is afraid of being exposed. It is always the guilty man who makes the most noise. The poor white man has gone crazy on the Negro question. The lily white Negro is afraid to disclose his identity. Some of them wear green goggles, while some others wear a white veil and powdered face. They do so much dodging until they get so tired that they are useless to themselves and worthless in a community. This class of city white Negroes gives us all the trouble. SIGNS DOWN. Officials Deny That An Order of Segregation Was Isued. The officials in the Treasury Department deny that an order segregating the colored people in the Treasury Department or any of its branches was ever issued. What a lie. In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing colored employees have been directed to use a separate toilet. In the Treasury Department the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Williams ordered "Jim Crow toilets and placed signs upon one door, namely: "For Colored Men Only." "For Colored Women Only." A few days ago a mysterious order was given and the signs referred to were quickly torn down in the Treasury Department. Who is responsible? Somebody is issuing "Jim Crow" orders and then revoking them. THE CHURCHES. The Baptist denomination is about the strongest in this city, but in a sense a weak body. This is because the heads of the churches, in many respects, are jealous of each other. When a strong man comes to the front in the Baptist Church he is criticised and thrown down by its membership. The Baptists are able to do some good if they unite. The Methodist Churches are united and with a combination of all denominations the colored people would be able to accomplish some good. Let the churches unite. ASSESSOR RICHARDS. If there ever was an honest man it is Assessor Richards. It is not believed by the people that he would commit a wrong. He has conducted his office with care and precision, and if there is any wrong-doing, certainly he is not responsible. His conduct in office has been to secure the people, and because a man speculates is there any reason that his transactions are not legitimate? The retirement of Kalbfus is to be regretted and deplored. E W OYSTER The appointment of Mr. E. W. Oyster as the successor of Mr. Samuel T. Kalbfus is one of the best appointments that could have been made. He is an honest and upright official and a man of the highest integrity. No man has rendered this community greater service than he has. The Bee extends its congratulations,. although it regrets the removal of Mr. Kalbfus. The floor sweeper that attacked colored lawyers should return to his former occupation. The colored members of the bar, with but one or two exceptions, have the confidence and respect of the court. White men who rob colored people are called honest and are respected. Send for The Bee if you want a first-class paper. It is the real defender of the Negro's rights. Some Negro preachers are like some Congressmen: they are never known to exist until they attack their superiors. The colored Democratic office-seekers are still on the hunt. Commissioner Newman means business, notwithstanding the attacks of his enemies. He will be Commissioner unless the courts decide otherwise, which will not be done. Commissioner Newman is not bothered by the attacks of the Fairplay Humbug Committee, which has been urging the segregation of the colored people. Colored lawyers should organize. They could make a strong organization. Public Men Ard Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I wish somebody would chloroform some of these anthracite shoe-shiners until another crop is born what knows how to do a nickle's worth of work on your shoes for five cents. One reason why the Greek shoe-shiners is putting the bituminous complexion gentlemen out of business is that the Greek delivers a shine, a real five cent, half a dime, nickle shine, while these bituminous gentlemen just give your a promise. Now go down You street, Fourteenth Street or Seventh street, and if you can get a decent shine for your wife's five cent, then I will tell you where Harvv Thaw is. I dropped in one of these places the other day and when that shine got through throwing rings around a pair of conspicuous corns I had on my toes the only thing I had to show that I had been in a shoe-shining parlor was a ruffled temper. that anthracite just threw one kind of a liquid on my shoes then began pounding that corn of mine. Now I didn't swear, cause no member of the Berean Baptist is supposed to swear (on Sunday), but I'm telling you I thought a few cuss words. Let me promise you these bituminous complexion gentlemen what make a bluff at shining shoes just don't deliver the goods, and the Greek is running away with the business. It's a good business that nets a fellow seven hundred per cent profit. All you have to do to start in business is to borrow two dollars, pay a dollar of it down on a chair and take the other dollar to buy stock. One dollar's worth of stock will last for five hundred shirts ordinarily, but the way these bituminous complexioned boys use it a dollar's worth of stock will do one thousand shines and then a few over. I was talking to Judge Terrell the other day, and asked him what were his chances for staying judge for another four years. The Judge wiped the prespire from his noble brow, which extends back to the base of his brain on the reverse side of his door knob, and said: "You heard about Tyler having resigned and a white man curled up in his place, and you heard about Bill Lewis being told to catch the Federal Express for Boston two days after Segregation Woody came in, and you further heard that a white man is going to spend four years in Haiti where they ain't got nothing but blacks? Well, now if you have heard all this there ain't no use asking me what my chances are of being one of them real judges for an- other four years. I've made a date with Harry Williams, and we are going to enter a roller skating contest to earn money." Then Judge wiped some more prespire from his noble brow what extends all over his billiard ball, and remarked, as he drained the glass of the last dregs of grane juice, a la William Jennings: "Well they can't take the title from me if they do separate me from the pay roll. And I ought not to worry much even if they do, cause I never made much out of a salary, and I never believed in keeping money long for fear it will mildew. I sort of like the 'Death Valley Scotty' idea of money—just good to hand to some other guy." I asked Chase why he didn't go over to the R Wordy press meeting, and he said he could trail behind a four-flusher who had never owned a newspaper, and who was afraid to send out news for fear he would lose his job as messenger in the Architects office. "I'll waver four dollars and two-bits," said William Calvin, "that there won't be ten honafied newspaper men at that meeting. Men who run newspapers ain't no fools to chase after a four-flushing guy what's always writing himself up as a great big something when he ain't nothing. When the association gets to be a real live wire I'll attend, but not while a sleepy messenger tries to lead." I've been trying to find out just why Chase isn't got no soft side for R. Wordy, but he, says he ain't got the fellow to think about. One thing I notice is that since that last body blow William Calvin struck that messenger he ain't never got his breath to come back. If he ever comes back, I got a tip that, to use the lines of my old college friend. Bill Shakespeare, "a tale will be told which will make each particular hair stand on end like the fretted porcupine." and it won't be Chase's hair what will stand either. Course Chase isn't got no-hair to stand. He, Judge Terrell, Harry Williams, Howard Williams and Doc Terry over in Atlantic City have just backed these hair preparations off the boards—nothin' doin' there. I ran into Slaughter Tuesday, little Andy Slaughter, and as he went by me I said to myself, I'll bet four-bits to a saubuck that John Greins is close at hand, and bless me if John didn't come steaming by in about two seconds later. Andy is just drawing one twenty-five down from the government every month and hitting the Odd Fellows' treasury for the same amount with a regularity that makes the twelve calendar months look like a slow procession from Georgia headed by Link Johnson. They tried awfully hard to cry Andy loose from his editorship job, but he had a little Morris glue on the seat of his trousers and they couldn't get him out of the chair. Link Johnson who knows the law when he isn't too tired to look it up, Georgia Ben and Sir William Houston, figured it out that Slaughter must vacate of these $125 per month propositions, but Andy said he needed the money for soft shells, synonymous with greece and chicken fries and "sick lie" And Morris, who stands by the little Kettucky celding, just said, "And you must go right along being editor, and don't refuse Luke Sam's $125 until Woody tells you you can't get it no more. And John Goin' told him the same thing. Fact is Irian wouldn't tell Slaughter a thing outside of what was good for Andy. John is one of those Wilmington escapes what just don't know no more than to stick by his friends till two feet of ice covers the entrance to Satan's port. Now that the next B.M. C. is going to Boston. I reckon we'll have two years more of Andy, and I reckon he'll just continue to work Luke Sam for $125 ner and hit the Odd Fellows' denying treasury for the same amount. And I don't blame him it isn't Link Johnson's money, and it isn't Ben Davis' or Harry Cummings' money. Its our money, and Andy's welcome to it. Confidently, Andy, you owe me a little of the blended kind for this. I'll drop around and get it just as soon as you hear from old Kentucky. ALEXANDRIA MARSHALL DIES Colored Messenger in Treasury Was Appointed by President Lincoln. Alexander Marshall, colored messenger in the Treasury Department, died Saturday at his home, 621 U St. Northwest. Funeral services will be held at his home at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, being in charge of Eureka Lodge of colored Masons. Interment will be in Harmony cemetery. Alexander Marshall was a messenger in the Treasury Department since immediately after the close of the civil war, his appointment having been made by President Lincoln. During the war he was a messenger and valet on the staff of Gen. Rosecrans, and was under fire at the battles of Shiloh, Stone River and other important battles of the war. During his connection with the Treasury Department he served as butler at functions given by Gen. W. T. Sherman, Gen. U. S. Grant, Thos. B. Reed, former Speaker of the House, and other prominent men of Washington, these services being rendered after his official duties were done for the day. One son, Napoleon B. Marshall, and a brother and sister survive. Meals at all Hours. 428 Elm St. N. W., 6 rooms and all M. L., $20.50, reduced from $22.50. Will be papered throughout.

"Let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and care."—Hebrews 12:28. R. V. TWO months after the Passover deliverance, the Israelites ar- rived at Mt. Sinai; but on able lessons respecting God's grace and power.. At Rephidim, Moses in the name of the Lord smote the rock, and from it gushed water, abundantly refreshing Israel, and as a rivulet followed them through much of their subsequent journey. St. Paul, by inspiration declares that the rock represented Christ, that the smiting of the rock represented the putting of Christ to shameful death, but that only thus is the Water of Life provided for whoever will drink. Israel journeyed on, but encountered new obstacles. The Amalekites, a warlike people, considered Israel's coming as an invasion of their coun try, and attacked them. Naturally Israel was at a disadvantage. Yet God gave them the victory. Moses, upon a high hill, lifted his hands in prayer for the people. While he did so, success was theirs: but when he ceased thus to pray, Amalek pre- A crowd of people vailed. Aaron and Hur assisted in holding up Moses' hands until the battle terminated successfully for Israel. God thus indicated that without Moses they could do nothing. The Royal Priesthood Proffered. God's dealings with Israel were in accord with His great covenant with Abraham—"In thee and in thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." Nelther Moses nor his followers could possibly have understood the full import of this great oath-bound Promise; for it is double, the spiritual portion being hidden until the First Advent. Even since then, St. Paul assures us, it is a hidden mystery, appreciated by few. The Promise is divided into three parts: (1) Abraham (and all the Ancient Worthies, whom he represented) was to have a share; (2) Abraham's Seed was to be the channel of blessing; and (3) all the families of the earth were to be blessed through these channels. But only by the light of the Holy Spirit during this Gospel Age are these depths of the Abrahamic covenant manifest. While the Israelites knew that they were the natural heirs of the promises, it was proper that they also know that they would be unsuitable in blessing the other nations with God's Law unless they could both keep, that Law and instruct others to keep it. So a Law Covenant was made with them, and Moses appointed its mediator. Typical of New Covenant St. Paul, in Hebrews 12:18-24, points us to the antitype of today's lesson. As Israel was delivered from Pharah and his hosts, so ultimately mankind will be delivered from Satan and his fallen angels, and from all evil influences. As Israel's journey brought them to Mt. Sinai and the Law Covenant, so the journey of God's people will bring all the faithful to Mt. Zion. God's Kingdom. Meantime, Jesus has become the antitypical Moses, Leader of the people. In harmony with Jehovah's Program, He has been selecting joint-heirs. St. Paul explains this, saying, "God gave Jesus to be the Head over the Church, which is His Body." See St. Peter's explanation of "Prophet like unto Moses" in Acts 3:22, 23, 10-21. The antitype of our lesson will be the inauguration of the New Covenant, at the Second Advent of Jesus. The basis of this better Covenant was completed at Calvary. Our Lord has since been completing His "better sacrifices" by presenting the bodies of His saints to God. (Romans 12:1.) Soon the "better sacrifices" will be completed, and the greater Medlator raised up from among the brethren. Then will follow the inauguration of the New Covenant, to bless all the families of the earth with Restitution. A St. Paul points out that we are approaching "the General Assembly and Church The new covenant typ-General Assembly and Church of the First-born," whose names are written in Heaven. He declares that we may expect stirring scenes. As at Sinai the literal mountain shook, lightnings flashed, and God's voice was heard as the sound of a great trumpet, so here. The trumpet will be the seventh trumpet, the trump of God. The storm and shaking typify the shaking of the ecclesiastical heavens and the social, political and financial earth. All things that can be shaken shall be removed, "as of things that are made."—Hebrews 12:27. The Apostle assures us that only the unshakable things will remain. That is, the Messianic Kingdom will completely overturn everything not in harmony with righteousness. This is merely a prelude to the great Covenant, then to be ushered in for the blessing of mankind. OFFERS BODY FOR SALE Convict Fears Family Will Claim It After Death Comes. Savannah, Ga.-Hatred of his family prompted Thomas A. McColough, a convict on the Monroe county chain gang, to advertise his body for sale to the highest bidder. His advertisement reads: For Sale.-To the highest bidder for cash. I offer my body, which is six feet high, weight 175 pounds, is large frame, well proportioned, forty years of age and Caucasian race. I have a sentence of eighteen years for killing a negro in Griffin in 1811 and have no prospects, no hopes and no friends; hence, being in bad health, I am asking this proposition. -Any one wishing to consummate a trade address Thomas A. McColough, box 51, care Monroe county convict camp. Self sworn never again to have anything to do with his relatives, he is now in mortal fear that his body after death will be turned over to them for burial. This fear has been increased by the physician's statement that he is suffering from heart disease and has not long to live. The money which his body would bring is a secondary matter to the convict. His one real desire is that death shall not stop the breach between himself and his family. MILLIONAIRE DAY WORKER. Yale Man Puts In Long Hours at Rubber Factory. Boston.—Dinner pall in hand, young Ellsha S.. Converse, Yale student and a millionaire son of a multimillionaire, steps from his Beacon street home into a costly automobile, drives over to a Malden rubber shoe factory and tolls nine hours in a room where the temperature is hardly ever less than 100 degrees. This happens every weekday. Young Converse is determined to learn his father's business from top to bottom, but instead of beginning at the top he has begun at the bottom. The father is Colonel Harry E. Converse, of Marlon, rubber manufacturer and prominent yachtman. Sometimes young Converse has to handle redhot heels-which he puts on the rubber shoes. He swings big shears, too, with which he cuts off the corners of the heels. All in all, his work at his bench in the heel room is considered a pretty hot job. STOP HUGE WASTE OF NATURAL GAS U. S. Experts Make Saving of $13,000,000 a Year. Washington.—According to Van H. Manning, assistant to the director of the United States bureau of mines, experts of the bureau have given a noteworthy demonstration of scientific conservation of natural resources that has resulted in a saving of 150,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas daily in Oklahoma. This gas is estimated as worth $37,500, or $13,000,000 a year. The two employees of the bureau of mines who are credited with having accomplished this result are A. J. Pollard of Bakersfield, Cal., and A. G. Heggen of Pittsburgh. They are regularly attached to the bureau as oil experts. They were sent to Oklahoma by Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the bureau. It was estimated at the time Pollard and Heggen entered the Oklahoma field that every day 250,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas, worth $62,500, was being wasted. That meant a loss of $23,000,000 a year. Operators and drillers were skeptical of the assertion of the two experts that they could prevent waste by a certain system of drilling, but, according to Mr. Manning, they have reached the conclusion that the experts were right and are making preparations to stop the waste. "CONSCIENCE FUND" SLUMP. Receipts For Fiscal Year Only $2,814, Lowest Since 1901. Washington. - Uncle Sam's "conscience fund" received in the twelve months ended June 30 last only $2,814.44, the lowest amount for any one year since 1901 and comparable with a hundred year average of $4,200. In the last 100 years the government has received conscience contributions aggregating $434,015.69. The fund was established in President Madison's administration in 1811, when the first contribution of $5 was received. The largest amount ever received in one year was $35,808 in 1902, and the greatest individual contribution, $18,690.60, was made to the collector of customs in New York more than a decade ago by an unknown. ICEBERGS REAL TERRORS. Captains Who Were on Patrol Duty Issue Timely Warnings. Washington.— Icebergs are the real terrors of the sea, giving no warning of their approach in thick weather, and the only rational course for a navigator to adopt when his ship is in a fog in their vicinity is to stop and wait for the haze to lift. This, in effect, is the burden of the reports of Captains C. E. Johnston and A. S. Gamble of the cutters Seneca and Miami, which from April to July patrolled the transatlantic lane of travel to prevent a repetition of the Titanic disaster. "The only safe way to navigate in regions of icebergs," warned Captain Johnston, "is to stop during thick weather and to run very slowly on dark nights."

BACHELORS LEAD IN CRIME 3 TO BACHELORS LEAD IN CRIME 3 TO Statistics Show That Married Men Attempt Suicide More Frequently Than Unmarried Ones—Single Women Criminals More Numerous. New York.—Many more unmarried than married men commit crimes, according to the report of Henry D. Sayer, chief clerk of the district attorney's office. The report shows that in 1912 there were 789 convictions of married men in general sessions and in the criminal branch of the supreme court and that there were 2,068 convictions of unmarried men. There were 66 convictions of married women and 100 convictions of unmarried women. Records show that in the last nine years there have been 18,406 convictions of unmarried men, while among men who had at some time led a bride to the altar there were but 7,670 convictions. The unmarried men excel in almost every crime on the calendar. The most notable exception is in the case of attempted suicide. Last year the ratio was three married men to one unmarried. The report also shows that about three-fourths of the men who are brought into court are, under thirty years of age. Of the 2,857 men convicted last year 940 were under the age of twenty and 1,278 were between twenty-one and thirty years old. After the age of thirty the ratio gradually decreases, there being but five men over seventy who last year were convicted of any crime. Out of 20,079 persons convicted in the last nine years 11,052 were between the ages of twenty-one and thirty and 8,293 were between fifteen and twenty years. Among the women two-thirds of those convicted were under thirty. It is also apparent from the report that in the last nine years there has been a gradual increase in the number of young men of criminal tendencies, the number of convictions of male criminals under the age of thirty having increased from 1.700 in 1904 to 2.200 in 1912. On the other hand, the number of convictions of men over the age of thirty has remained about stationary. The report shows that the office disposed of 6,051 actions during the year. There were 3,023 convictions in general sessions and the supreme court, of which 2,383 were upon pleas of guilty and 640 upon verdicts after trial. There were 321 trials that resulted in acquittal. There were more convictions for murder in the first degree than in any other year in the history of the county. Thirteen persons were convicted of first degree murder, while the highest number appearing in the records of other years is eight. It is also worthy of note that for the first time on record in this county four men were jointly tried and each found guilty of murder in the first degree. The average sentence imposed was five years and six months, and the total state prison terms amounted to 3.991 years. The longest sentences were for burglary in the first degree. There has been a gradual increase in the length of sentences imposed since 1904, when the average was four years and six months. The most frequent crime was grand larceny, with 600 convictions. Next came burglary, with 492 convictions. READING BRAIN OF DEAD MAN? DURHAM, N. C. training of young men and women in successful operation. Training. This department is of Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A.

The examinations are being conducted secretly in the neuropathological department and under the direction of Dr. E. E. Southard. Dr. Richardson was a firm believer that thoughts made definite lines in the brain, and the present examination is being conducted in accordance with his wishes as expressed in his will. He believed that a person's thoughts were recorded and were at the time of thinking visible on the outer walls of the cerebrum. He held that if these lines were read and the seats of the thought located it would make it possible to correct defects in the brain by surgical operations. Overladen Apple Tree Hutchinson. Kan.-Because the apples are so thick on the trees in the big Reno county orchards gangs of men are being hired to go through the orchards and knock green apples from the trees. This is necessary, the fruit growers explain, to prevent the boughs from branking down under the weight of the growing fruit. Dog Stops Court Caas. Walla Walla, Wash. - Leslie G. Korkman's dog Chinner stopped a case in the superior court while he caught a mouse. The dog is a fox terrier and was in court with his master. The sight of a fat mouse was too much. Court officials added him, and the case was resumed. Turkish dignitaries comport themselves toward European representatives how otherwise than some of them formerly did. Sir Henry Layard tells an amusing encounter between Charles Allison, then chief interpreter at the British embassy, and the grand visier, to whom Sir Stratford Canning had sent him on important business. In the middle of a discussion the Turk rose from his seat and said his prayers on a carpet spread by an attendant, concluding with the curse on all Christians very emphatically uttered, and going through the motion of splitting over his right and left shoulders in abhorrence. Allison was equal to the occasion. Presently he, too, left off business to pray in a corner, doing it in Turkish and invoking curses on all followers of Islam. To the scandalized Pasha he explained that Christians also had their religious duties, and he had no doubt the formal curses of their prayers meant as little as the Mohammadan's.

South Norwalk, Coun.-Mabel, the four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grieder Lent of this place, was knocked down by a rooster, and her brother Victor, one year her senior, who went to her rescue, had one eye picked out and the other one seriously injured. Mabel had gone to collect eggs in the hennery when the rooster, a large Plymouth Rock, pounded on her and bore her to the ground. The rooster's spurs lacerated her arms and legs, and she cried out in pain. Had she not held her arm over her face she might have faded the same as did her brother. Her breaths brought Victor to her side. He attempted to fight the rooster, only to be knocked down and seriously injured. The children's parents hurried to the wene. The father chopped off the head of the rooster and threw him in the river. Physicians hope to save Victor's right eye, but the left is gone entirely. MAN MAY HAVE BEAUTY. Board of Arbitration Gives Damages For Loss of It Danville, Ill. - A board of arbitration in the case of a machinist, Charles Chick, against the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad, under the compensation law, has decided that a man can possess beauty and obtain damages for loss of it. Chick was struck in the eye by a piece of steel last September when it work. The pupil was destroyed, and he asked damages for loss of time, for the handrail by reason of loss of the eye and loss of beauty. The railway company claimed that a man does not possess such a thing as beauty, but the board decided Chick's appearance had been damaged $200 and that he suffered $200 more in damage to his eye and in loss of time. The board was comprised of five attorneys named by the court and was headed by Arthur Hall, famous University of Illinois football coach. PLAN TO ABOLISH CONVICT LEASING Alabama System Is Declared to Be Inhuman. Birmingham, Ala.-With the purpose of taking all of the thousands of Alabama convicts out of the mills, number mills and turpentine camps a state wide movement to abolish the obsolete lease system is in progress, participated in by the best element of citizenship in the state. At a great mass meeting addresses were made picturing the greed, graft and cruelty of the system, and announcement was made that it would be a fight to a finish between the state's humanitarian spirit on the one side and corporations and professional politicians on the other. The spirit of the movement was embodied in the question "Shall we send the man who has served his sentence back home a better citizen or drive him to slavery and criminal mania?" Institutes were cited where men had been sentenced to long terms at mine labor for shooting crates, neglecting to work on the roads and stealing rides on trains.

MINNESOTA person reform in the south, sent a message of indulgence, in which she predeed for night schools for convicts, humane hygienic conditions and other reforms tending to make the life of the man in stripes endurable. An executive committee was appointed to carry the fight into all of the sixty-seven counties of the state and pave the way for a deciding battle in the next legislature. Captain Frank S White of Birmingham, former chairman of the Democratic state executive committee and for years general counsel of the mine workers of Alabama, was made chairman of the committee. Twenty other representative men of influence throughout the state will help in a whirlwind campaign. In addition each county will have a strong committee. For years there has been talk of ugly treatment of the convicts in the mines, number camps and turpentine mills. In half a dozen or more explosions in coal mines within a few years a hundred or more convicts had been killed. But nobody seemed to worry over their rate. The state leases about a thousand convicts to several large coal mining and number industries and nets from it over half a million dollars a year after feeding, clothing and guarding the men. An average of thirty dollars a month is paid to the state. Each convict is required to do a certain task. Pearl In Oyster Cocktail. Chicago Mrs. M. M. J. Anderson, wife of an attorney, while in the midst of an oyster cocktail found a pearl. It was taken to a jeweler's, polished, and appraised at $1,200. "And to think," said Mrs. Anderson. "I thought it to be a piece of oyster shell and was going to reprove the waiter." Seventy-five-year-old Dress Shroud. Findlay, O. Dressed in a homepun dress which she wore more than seventy five years ago, Mrs. Frances L. Founds, ninety three years old, was buried at Founty's Landing, W. Va. Mrs. Founds was married twice, and she wore this dress on each occasion. "Man of Straw." The phrase "a man of straw" had its origin in England at a time when men might easily be procured to furnish evidence upon oath in almost any emergency. It appears that persons of this description were accustomed to walk openly in Westminster hall with a straw projecting from their shoes, thus signifying that they sought employment as witnesses; hence the expression. An advocate who desired a convenient witness knew by this sign where to find one, and the colloquy between the two was brief. "Don't you remember?" the advocate would ask. The party would glance at the fee and give no sign, but when the fee was increased his powers of memory increased with it, and straw shoes went into court and swore as desired. —Boston Herald.

Close Father. Troubles of Orleans Family Recall an Escapade. COUNT WAS SCANDALIZED. Young Frenchmen In America Visited Pretty Virginia Girls, Causing Head o' House or Bourbon Muen Mortification—How Flirtation Started, Richmond, Va.—Recent cablegrams from Brussels setting forth the encapades of the Duke of Orleans and the duchess' suit for separation recall an incident in his career in Richmond twenty years ago. One bright spring morning in 1883 something of a furor was created among the passengers on the little river steamer that plied between Norfolk and Richmond when they learned the identity of three distinguished personages aboard. They were traveling incoug, but some one recognized them as the Count of Paris, his son, the Duke of Orleans, and his nephew, Prince Henry of Orleans. The elder had come over to revisit battlefields on and near the James river, where he had figured in 1892 when on the staff, with his brother, of General McClellan of the Union army. The count was revising his book on civil war and desired a fresh view of locale and atmosphere. They had visited Yorktown and Williamsburg, in which battles he had taken part, and the itinerary was M. to take them to Galnes' Millis and Fair-Oaks, where he had fought gallantly. His son and his nephew were handsome, dashing young fellows, who had seen service and hunted tigers in India. The old count pointed out and expatiated on interesting places along the historic route, scenes of notable engagements in which he had figured thirty years before, and became so absorbed in the memories that he did not discover the keeper interest manifested by the young noblemen in two pretty sisters of Richmond, one a blond and the other a brunette, vivacious and fond of admiration. Missra Ophelia and Louise Bullington betrayed sufficient interest to embolden young Evan Chesterman, a feature writer, to offer to introduce them. Not just then, though; the old count was watching the youngsters with rigorous solicitude. He was stern, proud, a stickier for etiquette, never forgetting that he was undisputed head of the house of Bourbon. Before the bont reached Richmond, however, the plans were arranged by Chesterman for the party to call on the girls at home that evening. Weary from travel, the count was easily persuaded to retire early and was tucked away. His room at the old Lexington hotel was across the hall from that of the duke and prince Nine o'clock found him snoring, while a cab with drawn curtains was hurrying the party of three to spend the evening with the beauty sisters. Both the young noblemen spoke good English, and a jolly party it was, with clever stories and love songs dashed off in a glass of wine and the spice of adventure. When the party returned at midnight the count awoke to learn the truth, and things were blue around the hotel. Catching them smacking into their room, he thundered his pressure and threatened to disinherit the duke for so far forgetting himself as to visit strange women out of his station and start grouping. "I picture the horrid American newspapers out with your exapanda in ghastly headlines!" he growled. "Ugh, I'm most shocked and mortified. And you, sir, beir and head of the great house of Bourbon!" LAND RUSH DRAWS HUNDREDS Ten Thousand Acres to Be Opened at Dodge City, Kan. Dodge City, Kan.-With a company of state militia present to prevent enactment of violent scenes that characterized land opening in early days, a run for government.land was arranged from this place. The prizes are the pick of 10,000 acres of government land in Hamilton county. Several hundred prospective settlers were present early, looking over government maps and picking out spots they think most desirable. The home, hero of earlier openings, seems to have been succeeded by motorcycles and motorcars, although some of the new homeseekers declare their mounts are more reliable because of possible breakdowns of the motor vehicles. At a given signal the settlers are allowed to start from the border of the reservation. First come, first served, is the rule, and the men with the speediest methods of transportation get the choice land. The land set aside for settlement is a part of the government forest reserve set apart by congress a number of years ago. The government's experiment in trying to grow trees there has not proved successful, and 10,000 acres of the reservation is to be given back to the county for agricultural purposes. LOCOMOTIVE SINKS SHIP: Crashed into Vessel as She Was Docking at Camden, N. J. Camden. N. J.-Probably in no place except Camden could a collision between a locomotive and a schooner occur. Navigation on Cooper's creek has been paralyzed nearly a week, however, by just such an accident. The vessel, the Alexis, from Milford, Del., was raised from the bottom of the stream by the Craemer Wrecking company after she had caused great inconvenience and considerable loss to Philadelphia tug and barge owners by blocking traffic. The Alexis came up the Delaware river carrying a cargo of salt hay. She anchored in the stream to wait a discharging berth and finally was ordered to Cooper's creek. Her deck load was stacked up so high that the helmsman could not see, and when she was docking near Federal street a locomotive running on a side track at the Camden Iron works crushed into the bowsprit, causing her to sink. SAYRE WILL TAKE PLACE AT COLLEGE New York.—Francis B. Sayre, who is to marry in November Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, second daughter of President Wilson, has decided to accept the place of assistant to President Harry A. Garfield of Williams college. He will begin his new work in February of next year. Mr. Sayre will not resign his place as head of the abandonment bureau in District Attorney Whitman's office until the latter part of November. Just before his marriage to Miss Wilson. After the honeymoon trip Mr Sayre and his bride will go to Williamstown, where they will make their home The place at Williams college which Mr Sayre will take was offered to him nearly a year ago. The office is new and, according to Mr Sayre, will be largely what he makes it. His duties for the first six months will be to assist President Garfield in the shaping of the administrative policy of the college. He will study social conditions among the students and will visit various cities to keep in touch with the alumni. He will also visit preparatory schools and interest prospective college students in Williams. Mr. Sayre is a graduate of Williams of the class of 1000. His desire to serve his alma mater had great weight with him in his consideration of President Garfield's order President Garfield was a member of the faculty of Princeton university when President Wilson was its head.

Stricken When Sixteen, Woman Regains Sight—Sees Her Children. Hillsdale, Mich.—One of the humblest homes here was made the happiest in the whole country when Mrs. Mary J. Welsh, who has been blind for fifty years, recovered her sight. When she was a girl of sixteen her eyes failed until she became entirely blind. In that condition she married and is the mother of eight children, whom she never saw until the other day. To make her burden doubly hard her husband became ill and she was forced to take in washing to support the family. Several operations were tried and were unsuccessful. The sons, now grown up, took the mother to Chicago, where she was taken to a hospital for treatment. Surgeons examined her and found she was suffering from a double cataract. CONSCIENCE HURT; WOOD-SOUGHT CELL Admitted Taking $5,175 From Express Company In St. Louis. Philadelphia. — Stolen money—$5,175 —from the funds of the American Express company lay in the pockets of Alexander S. Woods, East St. Louis agent for the company, as he wandered through the streets of this city at 3 o'clock in the morning fighting his conscience. It was just that hour when Woods stood beneath the arc light at Fifteenth, and Market streets watching Sergeant Daly and two patrolmen wrestling with a drunkard. He fumbled the greenbacks in his pockets, crossed the street and accosted the sergeant as the patrol wagon clanged at the curb. "Sergeant, would you mind sending me along with him?" Woods asked, indicating the staggering man. "I'm wanted by the American Express company in East St. Louis for stealing $5.175. I've stood it as long as I can. Here's the stuff." Woods pulled a handful of money from his pockets and handed it to Sergeant Italy. "I want you to send me back to St. Louis. I want to face the music," he explained. "I want my two little girls to know that even if I have made a big mistake I have done all I could to make it good." Sergeant Daly motioned toward the patrol wagon. "Jump in." he said. Woods obeyed, and a few minutes later he was in a cell. BALL BEARING "Why?" "Because I'm a thief."
