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 ARMY & NAVY UNION Its 16th National Encampment—Senator Pentrose Speaks—Capt. John C. Daly Favors Segregation—John Payton Makes a Timely Speech. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 8. The sixteenth national encampment of the Army and Navy Union, which convened September 8, at the Hotel Walton, Philadelphia, came to a close at noon on Friday, 12th inst., when officers for the ensuing year were installed. Joint ceremonies were held for the installation of the officers of the National Corps and auxiliary bodies. National Commander George R. Downs, of Erie, Pa., who was aboard the Trenton when she was lost in a hurricane at Samoa in 1889, presided throughout the convention and is now succeeded by Capt. H. Oden Lake, who so capably headed the Committee on Arrangements for the big encampment. During the first session of the convention, which was addressed by Mayor Blankenburg and Senator Penrose, a scene of excitement was precipitated when Capt. J. C. Daley, commander of the Washington department, made a verbal report (his suitcase containing his papers having gone estray en route), in which he stated that the two white garrisons were in a flourishing condition and sarcastically referred to the General Guy V. Henry Garrison No. 9 as "refusing to affiliate, from which he inferred they were drawing the color line." This misrepresentation and wholly unnecessary reference was pointedly rebuked by Commander Downs, who called the Captain to order and declined to listen to any further verbal report. The arrangements for entertaining delegates and visitors were on a most elaborate scale and included a sail on the Delaware and luncheon at Washington Park; a reception and ball at the Walton, which the colored delegates refrained from attending, although care was taken to assure them of their welcome. A similar function, however, had been arranged through Commander James, of the Philadelphia Garrison, and his associates, and if was felt that one such function only might be included in an already overcrowded week. The parade on Wednesday down Broad Street for a distance of four miles was witnessed by thousands. The Elks' band of thirty pieces led the section composed of colored garrisons and evoked much enthusiasm all along the line. Thursday was Navy Day at League Island, the convention adjourning at 1 o'clock to permit an auto sightseeing trip about the city. Fairmount Park and to the Navy Yard, where interesting games, drills and equatic sports participated in by sailors and marines were witnessed. In the evening a gorgeous display of fireworks was enjoyed. The delegates assembled at 1 o'clock that night for what was hoped would be the final session, and after the completion of the election of officers the report from the committee on the state of the order was proceeded with. In due course Captain Daly insisted upon the reading of his report, which was found to contain the references verbally made at the initial session and to which exception had been taken. This brought forth vigorous statements by Ex-Commanders Geo. R. Garnett and Frank Coalman, delegates from Garrison No. 9, and Adjutant W. T. Conray, also of No. 9, which proved to the satisfaction of the convention that Garrison No. 9 was well within its rights in refusing to be a party to the "wrangling and jangling" for which the District Department was at the time noted and that if there had been any effort to draw the color line Captain Daly was himself responsible. After considerable heated discussion a motion prevailed to admit the Daly report with all reference to Garrison No. 9 and the "color line" eliminated. In view of the fact that this officer is on record as recommending "Jim Crow" cars for the District of Columbia, any unkindly allusion of the nature referred to should not be considered at all strange. A series of resolutions reciting the loyalty, bravery and devotion of the Negro to American institutions and deploring the rapid increase of practices of segregation and discrimination in subservient of the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution were presented on behalf of Garrison No. 9 and reported favorably by the Committee on the State of the Order. The resolutions were in charge of Delegate John H. Paynter, who in speaking on the subject called attention to the extraordinary conditions encountered in the navy at the present day. He referred to a visit he had made that day aboard the great battleship Iowa, which he said presented a commendable contrast as regards strength and equipment to the navy as he knew it twenty-five years ago, but was a sad one through the retrograde policy of the present day of closing the better classes of seamen's berths to colored men. Continuing, the speaker said: It is with regret that we as sol- diwers and sailors of Uncle Sam, serving in a former day and identified with a people numbering 10,000,000, cannot make this greeting solely one of joy and compliment. The needs, condition and unkindly treatment of these 10,000,00 compel us to suppress for a moment the happy spirit of this reunion and ask you to bend an ear of sympathy and extend a hand of encouragement. The grievances which we bring are more serious than they are numerous and are easily capable of correction through the fearless application of a rigid and impartial justice. We are sorrowful that the unfaltering devotion through fifty years of freedom, in the effort to reach the very loftiest ideal of American citizenship, has resulted in clothing better than harsh, cruel and inhuman methods to divorce us from civil and political rights. The thought that we, as soldiers and sailors, had earned by our service an undisputed title to the especial consideration of our government may no longer, in some respects, be indulged, for one of us, who, when applying for a position at an important navy yard and who cited his former service as an additional qualification and reason why he should be appointed, was told that "this fact gave him no advantage over other applicants, as that had now been done away with." The Navy has long since discouraged the shipping of Negro sailors, and unless such an one be content to enter the service as a servant and remain a servant, a naval career is practically closed to him. At the present there are rusting out in some isolated assignment a few old-time Negro petty officers, but unless a more liberal policy be adopted toward this class of recruits, the Negro sailor must soon become a fact of history and nothing more. He proved himself worthy of a place with Perry on Lake Erie; was in the thick of the fighting with Farragut and sent some of the shot and shell on their errand of death and destruction under Dewey at Manila Bay. His entire record is one of which he as well as his country may well be proud. Why should he be eliminated? Honored Commander and members of this splendid union of soldiers and sailers, General Guy V. Henry, No. 9, comes to you in trust and confidence, seeking that support, encouragement and protection which is cheerfully conceded to be the proud right and privilege of our enduring comradeship. We ask only that the pledge of your loyal friendship shall be made evident by the adoption of these resolutions. They seek to make plain to the world that the Army and Navy Union of the United States takes no pleasure in the fact that the alien of yesterday from whatever country is accorded infinitely more of respect and privilege than the black citizen, who was born on the land and who has fought and bled that this glorious Union might be preserved. This question was disposed of by motion of Adjutant General T. H. Avery: "That it is the sense of this convention that Negroes should receive more liberal recognition in the general service of our Navy and that the garrisons of our Union wherever formed be urged to lend their moral support to the accomplishment of this purpose." The Ladies' Auxiliary was represented by Miss Estella Jordan, who was unanimously elected the second time as adjutant General, and was the recipient of several testimonials from both white and colored delegates for her general efficiency and devotion to duty. Miss Mills- and Miss Virgine Conley were delegates and S. Lyles, Mrs. H. Clay Smith, Miss Ethel Wiggins, Miss Mary Valentine and Miss Henrietta Boone made up an interesting and worthy delegation from the District. NEGRO SHOWING IN THE NORTHERN STATES. Tyler Writes Census Bureau, Asking For Separate Tabulation of Homes and Farms Owned By Negroes in the North. Ralph W. Tyler sent a letter to Director of Census Win. J. Harris this week, asking that he order separate tabulation of property owned by Negroes in the Northern States, the same as has been made for Southern States, in order to properly show advancement of the Negro in the North. His letter was as follows: "Sir: I understand that the Bureau of Census, handling the data gathered in 1910 for the 13th census, is now engaged in tabulating the statistics relative to the "ownership of homes," the account to show "a home" for the head of every family, whether rented, owned free, or owned mortgage. For some reason not apparent, I learn that the data on the schedules concerning the status of the homes of the million and a quarter Negroes of the Northern States is not being counted separately, and the tabulation as now outlined will not show this much desired information. Circulars sent to thousands of Negroes throughout the States in March, 1010, just prior to the enumeration, laid great stress on the statement that it was the desire of the Bureau, to "learn the truth about M. B. Withdraws application for Recorder of Deeds. Supported the Democratic party and its candidates, but now refuses to have his name considered for the place for which he applied. Condemns segregation and ill-treatment of colored Americans. His letter to the President elsewhere. the people of the Nation, their wealth, their education, their homes and general progress." In 1810 the Negro population of the Northern States, including Missouri, was 195,258. In 1860 it had increased to 600,000. The census figures for 1910 show it had reached the 1,250,000 mark for the same area. Pennsylvania alone having in excess of 190,000, or about equal to the entire Negro population of the North in 1810. This increase in the Negro population of the North is due most largely to the emigration of Negroes from the Southern States. And notwithstanding the fact that these migrants rarely possess more than enough to pay transportation from their Southern homes, they have become owners of homes and farms to a considerable extent. It is estimated that Negroes' homes in the North number as follows, by States: New York, 30,000; Pennsylvania, 45,000; Missouri, 33,000; Illinois, 23,000; Ohio, 22,000; California, 4,000; New Jersey, 18,000; Indiana, 13,000; Kansas, 10,000; Massachusetts, 9,000; Washington, 6,000; Michigan, 4,00; Iowa, 3,500; Connecticut, 3,400; Colorado, 2,500; Rhode Island, 2,000; Nebraska, 1,700; Minnesota, 1,600; Oregon, 1,500; and about 5,000 in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. But what number of these homes occupied by Negroes are "rented, owned free, or owned mortgaged" we fear will not be shown, unless you so direct, and my race sincerely hopes you will so direct to the end that the country may be furnished the same information regarding the progress of the Negro in the North as in the South." REV. TAYLOR Growing in Popularity. There is no pastor in the city of Magnificent Distances that is loved more by his members than Rev. W. A. Taylor, D. D., pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. This eminent divine took charge of the church June 1, 1913, and since that time he has been constantly "surprised" by his members with gifts. The following are some of them: He has been given a handsome gray suit of clothes by the Volunteer Hosts of which Mrs. Estelle F. Epps is president, and Mrs. Jeannie Dewey, secretary. The Helping Hand Club presided over by Mrs. Daisy Jones has given him a beautiful oak rocker. The Eureka Club, whose presidential chair is filled by Mrs. Maria Harris, presented the pastor with a lovely bedroom suit including rugs and pictures. Mrs. Louisa Braxton, the woman who headed the army of women that raised the thirty-five hundred dollars ($3,500) in three months, immediately after the death of the late Rev. George W. Lee, D. D., LL. D., that paid the last notes on Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, and one of the leading women of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, with her hand of loyal men and women, on whose banner is inscribed the name "Verbena," gave Rev. Taylor a dining groom suit, whose beauty and appropriateness beggets all description. prativeness beggars all description. Althus Dr. Taylor has only pastored the church for about three months, it has given him ten days vacation, with a purse, which he spent in Old Bertie County, North Carolina, the birthplace of Dr. Taylor, and the late Dr. Lee. The Florida Avenue Baptist Church has sent its pastor to all the important conventions held this year, namely, the New England Convention, which met in this city last June, the Mount Bethel Association, which held its sessions in Baltimore, Md., last August, and the great National Baptist Convention which is now in session in the "City of Rocks." Tennessee. Dr. Taylor left for the National Baptist Convention Monday last at 10.10 P. M. A party of his members consisting of Jabez Lee, Major Towles and John H. Wright, officials of the church, and Mesdames Louisa Braxton, Maria Harris, Fannie Washington, presidents of Clubs, and Roberta Taylor, the wife of Dr. Taylor, and a few other prominent members saw Rev. Taylor off at the station. HARMONY CEMETERY Arbitrary Power to the Detriment of Lot Owners—Court Action to Be Taken. The condition of the Harmony Cemetery grounds up to 1885-6 was little less than a wilderness. No pathways being visible by reason of a fungus growth of weeds. Snakes and other reptiles were in possession of the place. General neglect was so disgrant that a meeting of disgusted lot holders was held to take remedial action. The following gentlemen were named and authorized to enter suit against those in control of the Harmony Society, to-wit: William Syphas, W. Calvin Chase, William H. Bruce, William L. Freeman, Benjamin F. Gant and Carter A. Stewart, Sr. The committee brought suit in the name of the lot holders and the case presented to the court was so strong as to not only bring about the desired improvements, but a reorganization of the society, which was effected, May 17, 1886. Under the new organization a system of general improvement was inaugurated and paid for from accumulated funds in possession of the old management. Pending the lot matters of deep interest to the lot holders were brought to light through the defendants (Harmony Society) answers to the complainants charges. Among them was the following: "He demed that a large number of lots and grave sites were sold on the faith and representation that the tract of land allowed to would be forever set apart and maintained as and for the use and purpose of a cemetery for all denominations of colored people." In relation to ownership of lots, etc., the following appears—both statements being made under oath: "He avers, that the only representation ever given or binding on the Society were contained in the Certificate of title, to-uit: 'To whom it May Concern.' 'Be it known that — and — legal heirs and assigns are justly entitled to lot No. in the Columbian Harmony Society Cemetery, having paid $— for the same, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged. President. Attest. Secretary." In a supplementary statement hearing date May 17, 1887, the following appears: "None of the Members who are officers receive any salary; nor have any charges been made for contingent expenses nor for any labor or personal expense in performing the same." In face of this sworn statement made to gentlemen of unquestionable integrity and honor the Columbian Harmony Society today is paying John H. Cook $50.00 a month for acting as superintendent, treasurer and secretary. His duties in the Pension Office, for which he receives $1,400 per annum, not permitting him to give the needed attention to his duties, the society furnishes him with an assistant superintendent and other clerical aid. WHITE MILLIONAIRE Compelled to Marry Negro Girl He Debauched—Chicago Judge Severely Arraigns Wealthy White Man Who Robs a Negro Girl of Her Virtue—No Flaming Headlines, or Venomous Accounts Appear in the White Press. CHICAGO, Sept. 9.—Last Tuesday was an awful bad day for millionaire George Willis (white), a Grand Boulevard millionaire, who for three years had in his employ Ethel Smith, a young, comely woman of 27 years, as maid in his bachelor apartment. As water wears away rock, it seems this cultured gentleman's prejudices had vanished and before he was aware of things he was nearing the state of fatherhood and the maid the mother of his child. Tuesday the climax came when he was hauled into court and made to marry the woman he had wronged. Many a colored man is serving time in Joliet for such acts, and this gentleman can consider himself fortunate that he was sentenced to marry this young woman and pay her $35 per week until the child becomes of age. The judge that tried the case made him give a bond of $25,000 and pay the money into the court each week or month, as he so desires. While in court, his honor in rebuke the man of wealth said: "Look at you, a man of intelligence, in silks and satins, heir of the ages, taking advantage of this poor, illiterate, ignorant girl in this manner. If you were living in the South you would walk off from your prey and not give her a dime if you disposed to do so. But the time is here now when all judges, to get the respect of his community and nation, must give the law as laid down and not as he so feels. The judge sent the prisoner's brother for a gold ring and performed the ceremonies in his chambers. Mr. James Carter, 3025 State street, professional bondman, was best man and main witness to the marriage. As the millionaire offender's attorney set up the claim that their client need not pay his victim but $8 or $12 per week but the judge dissented and said that law was for working men, but the child of a millionaire calls for more. Its station in life required more to raise it. The judge refused to reduce the bond and the money allotted to the unfortunate young woman. This case is a celebrated one and one that our daily papers ought to give big headlines after the way they cut up over the Jack Johnson case. This case will not reach the light of day, however, as far as the white papers are concerned. BISHOP WALTERS. Segregation Denied by the Leader of Negro Democracy—What He Told McAdoo and the President. New York City, Sept. 15. To the Editor of The Bee. Washington, D.C. My Dear Sir, My attention has been called to a statement made in The Bee of September 6 to the effect that I had informed the Secretary of the Treasury that I would be satisfied with the removal of the objective signs. I said nothing of the kind, neither did Secretary McAdoo ask me, if I would be satisfied with the taking down of the signs. I told him at the beginning of our conversation on the subject of segregation that no self-respecting Negro was for segregation in the departments by the administration, and if any Negro said he was, he meant to deceive him. I said about the same thing to the President and Postmaster Burleson. Believe me when I tell you that I have never in any way, shape, or form indorsed segregation by the administration and never will. I am for the complete civil and political rights of the black man. The series of special sermons that are being delivered by Rev. S. L. Corrothers at Galbraith Church, have attracted people from all parts of the city. The third of the series will be delivered Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, at which time the subject will be "Contending for the Faith of the Rathers" or "Present Day Christian Standards." The public is cordially invited. EX-JUDGE HEWLETTS. LETTER TO PRESIDENT WILSON. All Papers Withdrawn—Refuses to Have Name Considered—Humiliating to Accept Office Under a Democratic Administration. Sept. 15, 1913. The President: --- Yours truly, EMANUEL M. HEWLETT. Knights of Malachites Knights of Malachites. The Knights and Ladies of Malachites of the World, a fraternal institution among colored people, with headquarters at 1111 U. Street Northwest, Washington, D. C., are in receipt of news of the "Charter Unveiling" ceremony in connection with the "Rising Star Lodge No. 1, Loyal Knights and Ladies of Malachites of the World" in Bocas Del Toro, Republic of Panama, recently, with Dr. C. Alfred Vaz, Supreme Governor, presiding; Miss Francis C. Davis, Supreme Secretary and Organist; Richard E. Foote, Supreme Lecturer, and Past Supreme Governor Charles F. Davis, presented the Charter in the name of the Grand Supreme Lodge. The Rev. R. Waite-Smith, rector of Saint Mary's' Anglican Church, unveiled the Charter with appropriate words, and afterwards delivered an elaborate address from a Latin quotation, which translated into English was rendered, "Bernard, for what purpose art thou here?" Richard E. Foote, founder of the Order at Bocas Del Toro, also delivered a stirring address. A large crowd attended this ceremony and the flags of Great Britain, the Republic of Panama and the United States of America flew aloft on the outside of the building. The above is a synopsis of the report contained in the "Central American Express," a weekly newspaper published in both Spanish and English, at Bocas Del Toro, Republica De Panama, received at the headquarters of, the Order in Washington, D. C., with Grand Spreaker Governor L. Melendez King, head of the entire fraternity, in charge. This order is growing rapidly indeed. A one lodge alone in Washington enrolled over 100 new members within three weeks recently, and many of the better colored citizens are allying their interest with this order. Governor King not long since returned from a successful trip to Panama in the interest of the Malachites, and gives a glowing account of his reception while away. The Public Schools There will be only two teachers dropped from the rolls of the colored public schools. Miss Mattie E. Bowen will not be separated from the public schools, in which she has been such a valuable and successful teacher. The consensus of opinion is that a few changes ought to be made in the colored High School. CUBAN POLITICS IN CHAOTIC SHAPE ENEMY OF - DEMAGOGUES. Ability to Get Jobs Valuable Asset on the Island—Former President Gomes, Popular With the Masses, Not Adverse to Serving Again—Conditions Are Summed Up In Nutshell. Havana, Cuba—Many in close touch with the ins and outs of Cuban conditions, political and commercial, believe the republic faces the most serious problem since the American flag was lowered from the national palace. It will require skilled diplomacy, political craft and a firmness yet unknown in Cuban affairs to bring about a stable solution. It is generally believed that President Menocal is strong enough to title his administration over, but it is also conceded that he has a strenuous proposition on his hands. He is apparently trying to give an honest and capable administration, opposite to what many politicians and their adherents want. The successful politician in Latin America, especially Cuba, is he who can provide the most jobs for his constituency. Ability to get jobs is a valuable political asset. The average benchman knows but little and cares less about matters of state. He wants to get on the government payroll, and he doesn't relish any position that requires much physical exertion. Briefly, Cuba at present faces conditions that might be subdivided into four parts: First—A chronic political condition and the attempt of professional politicians and those who crave power to overthrow the influence and discredit the Menocal administration. Second—The action of congress in refusing to accuse to the wishes of the presiding officer to the "community image" of the constitution so that its members would not be entirely immune from civil courts. Tritil.-The recent presidential decree that dissolved the Ports Company of Cuba and annulled millions of invested foreign capital, which may serve to cheapen the military capacity of the republic with foreign investors. Fourth.-The recently enacted military retiring law, by which nearly 100 army officers have been retired and which political actions have seized upon for camouflage material to stir up discontent in the army. Cuban politics probably has not been so thoroughly stirred up and disorganized since President Taft and Dr. Alfredo Zayas overthrew the Estrada Palma administration and set up the government of 1906. The last presidential election shattered the Liberal party. The "patriotic conjunction," composed of Conservatives and "Abertistas," exiles from all parties, elected Menocal. His inauguration in turn shattered the Conservatives, so that now he might be called a president without a party. It is generally conceded that the party is broken up beyond reorganization. The last conference of the leaders resulted in widening factional breaches, and Dr. Enrique Jose Verona, vice president of Cuba and president of the Conservatives, was called upon to resign the leadership. The row among the Conservatives was brought about by the apparent honesty of Menocal. They wanted the "rascals turned out" and themselves ensconced in political jobs. The "Asstertistas" also wanted a pro rata of jobs for their part in the "patriotic conjunction." Instead of listening to party clamor, Menocal set about presiding in a business way. Where a man of opposite faith was efficient he was retained in office. This policy was also adopted by Colonel Charles Hernandez, the new postmaster general. This line of official conduct could not be reasoned out by the politicians; consequently the howl they raised could be heard from one end of the island to the other. A senator from an interior province, soon after Menocal took office, sent one batch of fifty men to Colonel Jose Villalon, secretary of public works, saying they were his political allies, and asked that they be provided with government jobs. The refusal of congress to temper the "immunity clause", which allows members to slay and pillage without fear of civil courts, was a slap at the president. This wrangle grew out of the killing of General Armando de J. Ita, chief of the national police. Under this clause the expressed consent of congress must be obtained to allow civil prosecution, but public opinion was so strong that congress consented to the trial of Senator Morales and Representative Arias, but refused to further modify it. President Menocal used his strong influence and sought to wield the "big stick", but congress simply "set down in harness" and asked, "What are you going to do about it?" Anti-administration forces, rallied to congress and prevented a quorum, and the president was left high and dry. In the meantime the hearing continues. "Deaf Mutes" on the Bun. Sacramento, Cal—Motorcycle Policeman Brown chased a couple on another motorcycle eleighteen miles the other night. When Brown overtook them and began a lecture on the evils of speeding, the man pulled out a pad and wrote. "We are deaf mutes and thought you were a robber." Attorney Announces He Is to Be Tries Again in Szabo Case. Goshen, N. N.-Burton W. Gibson, who has been tried twice by Orange county jurists on the charge of having caused the death of Mrs. Rosa Menschk Szabo on Greenwood lake on July 16, 1912, will soon be tried again. Robert H. Elder, his attorney, said that District Attorney J. D. Wilson, Jr., of Newburg, intended placing Gibson on trial for a third time at the term of the supreme court to convense in Goshen in the latter part of October. He said he would be Gibson's attorney again and that Henry Kohl of Newburg and Jacob J. Singer of Jerser City will be associated with him. A conference will be held by Gibson's lawyers, when the case will be discussed in detail. Mr. Elder said an entire new defense would be entered at the third trial, which, in his opinion, would be more favorable to Gibson than the defense in either of the two trials in which the jurors disagreed. Gibson is in good health. He exercises daily with dumbbells. AVIATOR LOOPS THE LOOP. French Aeroplanist Turns Somersault In the Air With Safety. Juvial, France-A French aviator named Pegoud "looped the loop" while flying at a height of 1,500 feet in his aeroplane. He afterward descended without injury. Pegoud, who recently caused a sensation by dropping safely from an aeroplane with a parachute, had announced that he intended to turn a somersault in the air with his aeroplane, and his movements after his ascent were followed closely by a large body of observers. When Pegoud had reached a height of about 3,000 feet he turned the nose of his machine straight toward the earth and darted downward with his motor working at full power. After plunging about 1,200 feet with frightful velocity Pegoud changed the position of his rudder and caused the aeroplane to turn a complete vertical circle. The machine then glided down in a huge spiral volplane and alighted gently on the ground. St. Louis.-Stephen F. Garlock's determination to expose an alleged conspiracy between his wife of the flesh, Mary, and the materialized spirit of his first wife, was revealed when he started an action for a divorce. He is sixty-nine years old and a civil war veteran. His principal charge is that his wife invigored him into a spiritualistic seance and there called up the spirit of his dead wife, who advised him to transfer his real estate to the living wife. The petition does not set out in detail all that transpired at the seance. It recites that when he refused to sign his property as directed by the spirit of his first wife the second wife, in the presence of all the real and materialized spirits, called him "an uneducated, unrefined and ignorant fool," causing him great humiliation. It was through the influence of a daughter by his first marriage that he was prevented from signing the deed, according to Mr. Garlock. The petition alleges that, failing to get his property in this way, Mrs. Garlock persuaded him to give a note to her for $500, secured by deed of trust on real estate, and that a week later she had the locks on the doors of his room changed and bolted him out. BASEBALL BY WIRELESS. Service Given to Sailors In Navy is a Great Success. Washington.—The United States aerial "news service," whereby officers and men on United States warships far out at sea are kept informed each night of the baseball scores and other items of interest, has proved a great success. Reports to the navy department from the battleship Illinois, which has just returned to home waters with a big party of midshipmen, declare that the reports were picked up readily by the vessel when it was 2,175 nautical miles out at sea from the navy's powerful station at Arlington, Va., and 2,610 miles distant from the station at Key West. The battleship also reported intercepting wireless messages from European stations. OLD COLLIER FOR SALE Was a Merchant Ship Purchased For Use in Spanish War Washington.—The collier Alexander, one of the many merchant ships purchased for the Spanish-American war, has been stricken from the naval list and is for sale. The vessel was built in England in 1884, is a steel schooner of 1,181 tons displacement, 843 feet long and forty-two foot beam and is fitted out with 1,000 horsepower vertical triple engines. For some years past the Alexander has served as a fuel ship for the Atlantic fleet. At present she is lying off Olongapo, Philippines. NEEDS OF ARMY POINTED OUT Asserta That if Monroe Doctrine Is Maintained, Philippines Ratedain, Canal, Controlled and Pacific Dominated Improvements Must Be Made. Measure to Increase Efficiency. Washington.-The United States Infantry association, the organization of the infantry officers of the United States army, gave out an interview with Senator George E. Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the senate committee on military affairs, in the course of which Senator Chamberlain came out flatfootedly in favor of placing the army on a better war footing than is the case at present. "As long," says Senator Chamberlain, "as we maintain the Monroe doctrine, retain the Philippines, control the Panama canal and dominate the Pacific, which is our manifest destiny, we must have an army adequate to care for these conditions and meet emergencies. "No one advocates a large standing army in this country, but we ought to have as a military organization an army of efficient officers and drilled men which can be augmented by trained men from a reserve and supplemented by the national guard of the states. "There has been a great deal of general discussion as to the necessity of better preparation for sudden war emergencies, and there seems to be quite an unanimous opinion that at the present time our army is wholly inadequate owing to the methods that have been employed. I am heartily in favor of such changes and improvements in the army as will meet existing conditions. We ought not to leave ourselves in an attitude where we fear the possibility of invasion by Japan on the Pacific coast or by any other foreign country on our Atlantic coast, nor in apprehension as to what might happen to our troops in case of intervention in Mexico because the army is inadequate for emergencies. "The present session of congress has been occupied with matters which have taken all the time, so that little attention has been given to questions T. H. of national defense until the acute situation in Mexico has brought home to us the unprepared state of this nation to face a sudden war. If there should not be a peaceful termination of the Mexican trouble temporary war measures and makeshifts would have to be adopted, as lins been the case at the beginning of every other war in this country, all of which have been disastrous and expensive on account of their experimental character. "At the regular session of congress the subject of increasing military efficiency must be considered. The secretary of war has taken a pronounced position on the subject, and we will await his definite recommendations with a great deal of interest. "I am not prepared now to say what should be done. The plans and details must be worked out by men of experience and judgment, but it is plainly apparent that improvements must be made and the army put in condition to meet the requirements of the nation. "The formation of a reserve corps is a very difficult matter and one with which we have not had experience in this country. We cannot pattern on the lines of continental countries which have a conscription method of filling the ranks of the armies and control all available men for military service. Our army is a volunteer organization. The 'regular army man' is a voluntary soldier, who can return to other occupations at the end of his term of enlistment. "At all events, it seems certain that the country is becoming aware of the unprepared condition of our army and will sustain congress in making such changes as seem necessary to place the army upon a footing to meet emergencies and secure the honor and integrity of the nation." Sister Leocadia Believed to Be Teaching Music in New York. Ningara Falls, Ont.-Sister Leocadia, teacher of music in Mount Loretta Convent, at Falls View, a mile south of this place, has left the convent, where she had spent more than twenty-five years of her life. It has just become known that Sister Leocadia, apparently wearying of the life within the cloister, made her departure from the convent several months ago. It is believed that she made her way to New York and is trying to earn a livelihood by teaching music. At the age of eight Margaret Coulter of Philadelphia entered the Mount Loretta convent. She was an orphan who had one brother. Her next nearest relative was an uncle. She became a noviate at the age of sixteen and took her final vows at the age of twenty-one, when she became known as Sister Leocadia. Soon after she took the vell she became teacher of music in the convent. Girls from all sections of the United States and Canada have studied music under Sister Leocadia. It is said that she was very popular among her pupils as well as among the sisters of the convent because she was comely in appearance and charming in manner. Her beauty had often been remarked by persons who were in the habit of visiting or passing the convent. Mount Loretta Convent is the parent institution of the Loretta Sisterhood in Canada. When inquiries were made recently at the convent for Sister Leocadia it was learned that she had not returned. Mother Joseph, assistant to the mother superior, said that Sister Leocadia had gone away, and she added that she did not know her whereabouts. Mother Joseph, however, said she believed that Sister Leocadia was somewhere in the United States. London—Queen Mary by reason of her unconquerable aversion to gambling in any form by women has prevented the establishment of a woman's club in London which, from a social point of view, by far would have outranked any existing woman's club in the city and which, in fact, would have been a kind of woman's Mariborough club. The incident at the same time shows how, in spite of the queen's strong and constantly demonstrated objection, the society women of England are equally determined not to be deprived of their big or little gambling. A plan was formulated a short time ago to start a woman's club the membership of which was to be restricted to past and present ladies of the various royal households in England. At first everything pointed to its immediate great success. Nearly every royal lady residing in England promised to join, and a strong body of ladies of the royal households immediately came in. Of course it was absolutely essential that such a club should have the support of the queen, as she is the head of the select body from which the members were to be selected. Lady Agneta Montague, the organizer secretary of the club, immediately approached Queen Mary as soon as the successful establishment of the club was assured. A couple of weeks ago the queen wrote to Lady Agneta that she would join the club, but only on the conditions that there should be no card room in it and that no male visitors should be received. These conditions were made known, and two weeks sufficed to show that they rendered the formation of the club impossible, for of the 180 ladies who formed the original nucleus of the organization 140 have now withdrawn their names. As a result the scheme has been abandoned. LAST OF. CROW INDIANS. Lake Metimop Dies on Reservation Near Saginaw, Mich. Saginaw, Mich.—Lake Metimop, said to be the last of the Crow, Indians, died on a reservation near Saginaw. For many decades he was closely associated with the Crow reservation, and for some time had been its only living founder. He had been blind for the last three years. While some people doubted that the Indian was as old as he claimed to be, 107 years, it was believed that he was Michigan's oldest inhabitant. Metimop, better known as Met Wop, settled in the Saginaw valley before white men commenced to colonize that section. Although quite a leader, he was considered more of a farmer than a fighter. BECOMES RICH IN A DAY. Widow, Support of Four Children, Is Heir of Brother-in-law, Los Angeles, Cal.-Mrs. S. A. T. Jones, a widow supporting four children by working as a copyist in county offices here, is a millionaire. William Jones, a brother of the woman's husband, died in Australia. He left to his brother's widow an estate which is estimated to reach the million mark. Jones, a Welshman, and his wife came here many years ago. Plan to Force Manufacturers to Keep Prices Down—Government as a Competitor Would Not Produce All of Its Own Plate—Increase In Prices Has Been Felt. Washington.—Seven million dollars to provide for a government armor plate plant is asked for in a bill introduced by Representative Britten of Illinois. The bill was introduced coincident with the announcement by the navy department that bids for $3,000,000 worth of armor for battleship No. 39 had been rejected because they are identical. "Although Representative Britten is a Republican, his bill follows generally the ideas of Secretary Daniels, who has reported that a "trust" evidently exists in the armor plate business and that the government should have a plant of its own, not to make all its armor, but to provide enough to make competition with the private mills. In addition, Representative Britten is about to take up with several senators the advisability of changing the Underwood tariff bill so is to admit armor plate free of duty. Representative Britten's bill provides for the acquisition of a site, the erection of suitable buildings and the procuring of necessary machinery and supplies for the establishment and maintenance of the plan. Active operations on the plant are to be begun within six months after the passage of the bill. In discussing his bill Representative Britten said that he had had in mind for some months the introducing of a "plan that would break up if possible the trust now controlling the armor plate situation in this country. "The opening of the bids of the navy department for $3,000,000 worth of armor for battleship No. 39, appropriated for last year, in which the bids of the three armor producing companies in the United States corresponded exactly and giving the same amount per ton as last year," said Mr. Britten, "shows conclusively the collusion existing in the bidding regardless of the fact that each biddler attests in an affidavit submitted with his respective bids that the company, is not engaged. In any such agreement and proves conclusively that competition for this enormous amount of government business is a force. "The only way to procure armor plate at anything like a reasonable price is for the government to enter into direct competition in its manufacture with the companies already engaged in this work. I am not in favor of entering into the field to such an extent as to put the other armor producing companies out of business, but to manufacture a sufficient amount of this commodity so as to force them into competition and compel them to offer us their armor at least at a fairly reasonable cost. "Investigations recently made in this direction have shown that In a government plant capable of turning out 10,000 tons a year, which is about half of the armor needed on a two-battleship program, the cost of the armor will not exceed $314 a ton. The difference between this and the amount bid last Tuesday, which was exactly the same per ton as the bids submitted last year, $145; on 10,000 tons, at a saving of $140 per ton over the price now paid, the government would save $1,400,000 per annum. Deducting the interest on the money used in building the plant, the government will still save considerably over $1,000,000 a year, which amount in a very short time will completely cover the cost of the plant, and at the same time we will be independent of this branch of the steel trust. As a business proposition the plant would not the government more than 17 per cent on the entire investment after allowing 3 per cent on the total expenditure (or $1,200,000). "In 1906 the price of armor plate was $346 a ton, in 1907 the trust jumped it to $420 a ton, and last year it was raised to $454 a ton. The price goes up constantly and remains up, and the evidence is not lacking that the price at the present time is based more upon what the companies think they can get than what it costs. "Some years ago we were confronted with the same problem in the purchase of powder for the use of the army and the navy. We built a powder plant, entered into direct competition with the powder companies and today are saving $268.80 on each ton of powder. "We manufacture our own powder in part, we manufacture our own guns, and there is no reason in the world why we should not manufacture a part of our own armor plate. The cost of the plant is not-prohibitive, and the cost of operation will not be a severe obstacle. "I am convinced that the government should erect a plant large enough to manufacture a goodly portion of the armor plate required and give the rest of the work to such firms as are willing to bring their prices down to what will be shown by the government plant to be a reasonable figure. This is the intent of my bill." --- EDISON LOOKS INTO FUTURE. Cement Roads, Cheaper Auto Tires and Reprinted Newspapers. and Reprinted Newspapers. Boston - Thomas A. Edison was asked what in his opinion would be the next improvement in automobiling. He replied: "Cement roads. I believe that in ten years cement roads will band the country from one end to the other to the exclusion of all other klads." Mr. Edison does not believe there is need of a substitute for rubber for tires. He said: "Rubber trees are being planted in the tropical countries. A vast amount of capital is going into rubber tree farms. Eventually there will be a great influx of rubber harvested from them. I am told by manufacturers of automobiles that rubber should be cheaper today than a year ago. They expect rubber to go down." Aked what improvements could be expected in newspaper making in the next decade, he repiled: "Something to save paper. If noncarbonized inks were used—inks that would bleach—papers could be run through the presses again by the aid of an invention or two and, be used several times. It's bound to come to a proposition of this kind. Inks that will bleach will be used." MISS WILSON INTERCEDES. Has a Postoffice Rule Waived to Please a Little Blind Girl. Washington—The little blind daughter of Mail Carrier Sherry at Mandale, O., may ride with her father over his rural free delivery route, although a postoffice regulation expressly forbids it, because Miss Jessie Wilson, the president's second daughter, interceded for the child and got Postmaster General Burleson to issue a special permit. Jessie Columbia, thirteen years old, of Cleveland, spent her vacation this year with her grandfather, the postmaster at Mandale and saw the blind girl's plight. She wrote Miss Wilson of how little Miss Sherry longed to ride on her father's cart, and an appeal to the postmaster general was followed by an order waiving in this case the regulation which forbids that any one but a carrier shall ride on a mail wagon. BIG VICTORY FOR LOVERS OF BIRDS Democratic Caucus In Senate Restores Protection. Washington—Action of the Democratic caucus in the United States senate, in voting to withdraw the amendment previously adopted to the bird protecting clause of the tariff bill, and to restore the measure as it was written by the house committee, is taken by those who have been waging the fight against the "feather trade" as a certain and complete victory for the friends of wild bird life. The new tariff bill will prohibit the importation of wild birds' plumage for commercial purposes, no matter from what country they come, and will abolish in the United States and all its territorial possessions the traffic in skins and feathers of slaughtered wild birds. Among the senators who worked in behalf of this measure are Senators McLean, Chamberlain, Lane, who made an aggressive stand in the caucus fight of Tuesday: O'Gorman, Hitchcock, John Sharp Williams, Gore, Bryan, Bacon, Shively and others. This campaign was inaugurated and managed by the New York Zoological society and National Association of Audubon Societies. Immediately it attracted the support of national and state federations of women's clubs, the State Audubon societies, many patriotic societies of women, the Women's League For Animals and other organizations and free lance leaders. The number of personal letters written to members of congress in this campaign was enormous. It is estimated that 100,000 would be under rather than above the mark. The plan is now to carry the fight to England, Germany and France. 2,294 SEALSKINS. Many Silver Fox Furs Are Also Brought From Alaska. San Francisco.—The steamer Homer, under charter to the United States government, has arrived from the Pribilof Islands and Unalaska with a cargo of 2,203 sealskins and thousands of foxskins, including a large number of rare and costly skins of the silver fox. The United States exercises a guard lanship over the northern group of islands, in accordance with foreign treaties, and to pay the cost of guarding the seals from poachers the government is permitted to kill a certain number of seals and foxes each season for the skins. The steamer Homer makes two trips a year to the islands to take in supplies and bring out the furs. Drops Dead as He Predicted Atlantic City.—Early in August George Rappelyea, a hotel man, told friends he had had a premonition he would expire from heart trouble. He wound up his affairs, so firmly was he convinced: Then Rappelyea fell from a chair in the Hotel Columbia while talking with his son. A physician declared heart disease had caused instant death. mr ™ = . . * . - Ye CHIEF CAUSE OF CRIMINALITY No Man Totally Depraved, Sees Pastor Russell.

Aids and Disadvantages In Fighting Sin—Divine Help Necessary—How the Needful Is Provided. Cumberland, ‘Md, September 14. —Vastor Russell gave two dis- courses here to- daz, We report one of them, on the text, “I was shapen in Iniqut- ty; and in sin did. my mother con- ceive me.” (Psaim 515) He said: Diagnosis 1s val- aaita te hia “aks ES : —See———nin tn the —<——"_uable in the at- tempted cure of any malady. ‘This is as true of sin-sickness, depravity, as af any other allment of humanity. The better we understand the origin of sin and the methods of its operation in ourselves and in others, the more suc cessful we shall be in combating it ‘We must know what helps to feed the ‘ailment and what tends to destroy It. Our forefathers erred, evidently, In thelr declaration of total depravity. None of us ever met a human belng entirely depraved—entirely devold of sympathy for righteousness and trath —dead to wll good influences. Experl- exce, however, does corroborate the Bible statement that “there is none righteous. no, not one"—all are sin- ners. Moreover, the Bible goes to the root of the matter; and experience cor- Toborates fts statement in our text— that we and all humanity “were born 4b a state of sin, with the predilection of {nelination toward sin. We are not, however, to conclude that God made us stoners; for the Bl- ble contradicts that thought, and as- sures us that “all Ills work is perfect.” Accorling to the Bible, we received our lives from our parents; and they theirs from thelr parents; and s0 back to Father Adath. The Bible tells us that our parents elnned, and came un- der the Divine sentence of death; and that this meant mental and moral, as well as physical, degeneracy. ‘The Apostle declares, “By one man's dis- obedience sin entered tuto the world, and death by sin."—Romans 6:12. ‘This curse of death which came upon the race, and which affects us from the moment of birth, is a terrible bilght. Even though St ts much more reasonable than the curse declared by our mistaken creeds—the curse of eter- nal torment—nerertheless the curse of God fs suiliclently terrible, and world-wide. The penalty, “Dying, thou shalt die.” {x much less horrible than if it had read, “Living, thou shalt live in eternal torment.” ‘When, therefore, we find in ourselves and others wayward, sinful tendencies wo refiect that these are evidences of the fall, the curse, and that all whe are under such infuences are to be pitied. True pity, however, must not be sympathy with sin, but with the sinner, who 1s handicapped by the predisposition to sin, Sin calls foi radical measures for its exterminatior for the release of the sinner; but out Dest efforts for them and for other: ‘will bo attained through a knowledge of the facts, and through the exercise of the proper sympathy.

We should discern that the question is not, Whit shall we do to escape damnation, or condemuation? We were born’ in damnation, condemned to death ag un- worthy of life. The Divine decree 4s that no sluner may have everlasting Ife. It is a gift of God, designed, not for sinners, but for those who ure per- fect, siniess. Adam was condemned to death ns soon as he became a trans- gtessor; and all of his children were born In the same condemned condi. tlon, Condemnation passed upon all men because all ‘are sinners. All are imperfect, fallen. Our text tells us that they were born In this fallen, dis. approved or coudenmned condition, The question with us, then, is not, What shall we do to escape coming under condemnation? for the whole world is condemned already. (John 3:18) The question 1s, How shall we, who are already condemntd of -God as unworthy of everlasting Ite, get free from that condition in which we were born and get back into that con dillon of perfection which God will approve, in which we should be ac counted wortby‘of everlasting life? ‘The Bible answers our question. It tells us that God has had compassion upon our race and has provided tbe Savior. It explains that for'God to be just and yet grant forgiveness to the ‘Sinner requires that One shall pay sub stitutlonally the penalty originally Pronounced against Father Adam ‘This being effected, the Redeemer wil have the right to restore to perfectior Adam and all bis posterity desirous ot returning to God. ‘The Message respecting this merciful arrangement Is called the Gospel—the Good Tidings that there 1s a way a! return from sin to holiness and from condemnation to death back to justift cation of life. . “Times of Restitution” As we have seen, the thing needfal for all who desire to return to God's favor is that they may be restored te that condition of physical perfection ir which Adam was before he sinned ‘When thus restored, they would have the same opportunity of demonstrat Ing losalts to God that Adam bad at first. If they, when recovered, stand the tests of loyalty and obediehca, they shall receive God's gift of ever lasting life. And they shall recelve 1 through Jesus Christ; for the way was opened up by His sacrificial death, “the Just for the unjust,” an¢ thelr salvation accomplished by Hk work of Restitution. Not until recently have Bible sto dents: discerned how far our forefa thers have been confused-in respect t the Divine Plan—through neglect 0: the Bible for fourteen hundred years They now see that Jesus and th Apostles und Prophets taught thai God's great time for dealing with th world ts yet future—under Messiab’é Kingdom.

That thousan years Is also called the tlme of th World's resurrection or raising up- |anastasis. ible students noiw discer that the word resurrection in the Gree! signifies more than merely the awal ening from death. It siznifies the litt Ing up of the Individuals to human per fection—to that which was lost by Adam and redeemed by’ Jesus’ death. During those Times of Restituttor Satan fs to be bound, that he may n obedient to the Father's will to the extent of sacrificing earthly pleasures ; and advantages? and to the extent of death? ¥So must Tils follywers walk in His steps, as He has set them an exainple, looking uuto Jesus, the Au- thor and Finisher of thelr faith. The invitation to these is that If they suf- fer with Christ they may also rela with Him, share Tis nature and glory and honor, ‘They are advised from the first that the footsteps of Jesus are the-way of the cross. ‘These disciples of Jesus in the pres- ent Age are figuratively styled “sol- dlers.of the cross,” and Jesus is de- clared to be the Captaln of thelr salva~ tow, leading them on through victories to clors.

The coming Ago will be the world’s time for gaining a victory and escaping from the condemnation, the imperfection, that came upon ail the race through Adam's sin, Children of Wrath as Others. We are not*to think of those whom God accepts as the Church as being ifferent by nature from the remainder of mankind: On the contrary, we are particularly Informed that ‘we were Jorn “children, of wrath, evert as oth- ers.” But this special class get free from the condemnation, or damnation, that came upon the race through Adam tn a different way from that of the world In the next Age. ‘They first ex- ereise faith In God's promises and in Jesus as the Iedeemer. They realize Wy faith that the merit of His death ts the basis of deliverance from the damnation, or esmdemnation, passed upon all and of rezonelifation with God and restitution to perfection and at- taloment of everlasting life. The Kingdom of Messiah, through which these blessings are to be ex- tended to mankind,. baving not set been established, these bellevers can- not get these blessings. However, to them comes a special message or invi- tation to Lecome members of tho King- dom class—"helrs of God and Joint- heirs with Jesus Christ" thelr Lord; “if so be that they will suffer with Him, that they may be also glorified togeth- er” and share the Kingdom.—Romans S:17; 2 Timothy 2:12. Charmed with the prospect, these are not daunted by the trials and difficul- thes of the way, especially when they hear the Redeemer’s Word encouraging them and saying, “Fear not, I have overcome the world.” “Greater 1s He that Is on your part than all they that be against you.” “My strength ts made perfect in your weakness." “All things sbull work together for good to them that love God—to the culled ones according to His purpose.” ‘Thus encouraged, these bellevers make u fall consecration of themselves to God and Mila service, realizing and confessing thelr own Imperfectian and insufllelency, and pledging themselves to fight a good ght against sin in every form under the captaincy of Je- sus. Jesus becomes the Advocate of all who come unto the Father through Him during this Age. He supplements their-sacrifice.in such a manuer as tc make It perfect—holy and acceptable to Got. (Romans 12:1) ‘They give thelr wills, and resign all earthly in terests and rights. He adds'to thel sacrifice all these Restitution qualities Which would be theirs In die time un der the Kingdom. Thus they stand complete in Ilim. When the Father accepts these b3 the beretting of His Holy Spirit thes become [His children, His saints “heirs of God and Jolut-beirs with Je sus Christ” to “the Jnheritance incor ruptible and undefiled, reserred {t Heaven” for them.—1 Peter 1:3-5.

The crowning trait of true womanhood is the consecration of the beautiful moral and intellectual gifts and powers to the cause of the practical adoption of the spirit of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. This is not to be accomplished by an exhibition of clamorous agitation and untutored radicalism, but through the medium of those delicate and refined judgments and intuitions and arts which constitute the inspiration and guide of all truly noble women. By her article, copied in last week's issue of The Bee, Mrs. La Follette has set an example which endears her to the colored race—and indeed, all lovers of justice and fair dealing, of whatever race—and which might well be emulated by others of her sex whose positions in officialdom render them exceptionally influential in moulding public sentiment and directing affairs. The attitude Mrs. La Follette has taken in favor of human rights, and particularly against unjust discriminations on account of mere color, is all the more emphatic and appreciable when we reflect that she has acted under the impulse of a noble sense of justice not shared by many who, although occupying similar socio-official station with herself, are far inferior to her in human sympathy and actual nobility of character. In what glorious contrast does Mrs. La Follette shine, when compared with those cold, small and haughty spirits who use their social and official positions and prerogatives in endeavors to stunt the moral, mental and material growth of a striving and harmless race! Mrs. La Follette, in describing our feelings on the subject of segregation, has erred just a bit. She says, in referring to proscription in this city, "In most public places, theaters, hotels and all sorts of gatherings, the color line is drawn as if by mutual consent." "Mutual consent" may, very naturally, have been presumed, especially since there has been manifested no disposition on the part of colored people to contend in the courts for their rights under the common law, or the practically inoperative local civil rights law. It is not that the colored people do not object to the segregation referred to—there is a unanimous protest against it—but because, in this prejudice-ridden city, it is next to impossible to secure a jury fair and honest enough to render a favorable verdict, even in the presence of the most overwhelming proofs, thereby rendering a suit unproductive of any satisfactory results. Nor is it because of any hankering after the whites, that we would have free access to public places; but because the act of withholding the privilege is a reflection upon the intelligence, the decency, and a limitation upon the civil liberty of our people. Mrs. La Follette's reference to Newlands, "the courtly, philosophical Senator," and to his more rabid nihilistic agitators, displays a delicate touch of feminine diplomacy which imparts a spiciness to the sweetness of her article. But Newlands, although representing a Northern State, can be easily identified—he is a Missisippian of the same crystalline formation as Vardaman, with a slightly different superstructural arrangement. It may be true, as Mrs. La Follette has intimated, that, should Newlands and his crowd attempt to forcibly "return" the race to Africa, said race would likely do very much as the white race would do under similar circumstances. As for Varda- TREK, OR NO TREK? During a period of well-nigh three full centuries, the colored people have sustained an approximately constant relative numerical proportion of the population of this country. They are, therefore, no new comers, no doubtful quantity. Their value from an economic point of view, has been thoroughly demonstrated and their adaptability to the climate of the country, as well as to the social, political and even religious conditions characteristic of the so-called Anglo-Saxon civilization, has been acknowledged by all unprejudiced thinkers. By their labor, these people have been eminently instrumental in the formation of the institutions of this country, in keeping its industries resonant with the hum of spinille and the din of forge; and in stimulating activity in every mart. By their courage and at the cost of their heart's blood, they have sanctified the cause of the Revolution, the wars of 1812-15. of 1846-48, the Civil War and the Spanish-American war; and contributed their full share—albeit, such help was received with expressions of mingled fear and scorn and faint praise—toward making this nation the most powerful, if not the most beneficent power on earth. And now a crisis has come. Those whom we have most faithfully served—those who are, alas! in too large a measure, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh; whose farms we tilled, whose babes we have suckled; whom we have housed and fed and clothed and protected, generation after generation—are now proclaiming from the housetops, the press, the home circle, in State legislatures, the halls of Congress, and even the pulpit—the natural inferiority of the colored people, their debasing influence upon American society, and their uselessness as contributors to either the material or moral, social or religious welfare of the nation. They say that they desire to be rid of us and have proposed various schemes, plausible or otherwise, by which it might be accomplished. And this comes from the South—the noble, generous, chivalrous, warm-hearted, candle-tested, guaranteed, trade-marked and registered "whites" of the only South!! And this, too, but a few years after these same friends (?) of the colored people had coddled and fawned and protested before the Northern people, that they might be permitted, undisturbed, to deal with the "race question," promising just treatment and an honest report! What a report, if we are to credit the most blatant representatives of the South! What are we going to do about it? Of course, we have reasons to believe that the South will tolerate us if we consent to become, for all time to come, a serf or sort of Cooly element; that is about the price they lay. It would be well for us to think about this, and think now; to act, and act soon. The South has made its declaration; what propositions have we to offer? The nation owes us much; what shall we ask? In the main, our destiny is in our own hands. We can, by apathy, by lack of unity, by failing to appreciate and apply the means at hand, completely destroy our chances for full emancipation. On the other hand, we can, by accepting the issue, by taking advantage of the results of our observation and applying the tests of mild, though persistent retaliation, secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. The white people of the South have not been just or fair to us. After having stolen from us the value of the labor of two and a half centuries; after having bound us in chains and fetters, mentally as well as physically; after having surrounded us with the most demoralizing social evils; after having received our protection and devotion when they were completely at our mercy during the civil war, they now show their ingratitude and want of appreciation by ignoring every claim we make upon citizenship, every tie that should bind all respectable members of the body politic; and withhold from us all sympathy and all encouragement. From the close of the war down to the very present, the conduct of the Southern whites has been simply brutal. Riot, robbery, bloodshed, devastation and intimidation have followed the colored people wherever they have gone in the South. To be sure, we have not been entirely without friends, good friends, fast, noble friends. Ku-klux-klans, white-caps, the scum of the South, winked at, if not applauded and assisted by many of the so-called "better element," have done their work and left the colored people to choose between a servile and miserable existence or a violent death. Stripped of false pretensions and lies, this is about the size of the matter. It might be well to give the vicious and tyrannical Southern autocrat a practical illustration of the right and benefits of free locomotion—a real live hegira. When they realize that their erstwhile patient and faithful colored labor is leaving the land of bondage, and that they must make terms with exacting and unsympathetic strangers, or do their own work in the cotton, tobacco and cornfields, the rice swamps and sugar plantations, they may repent their meanness and stretch out their arms in vain for a return of their best friends. But it will then be too late, all too late. And no more Moseses, no more Colonization Societies for us. The United States must be the party of the second part. And, should we conclude to leave this country, it will be on our own initiative, and for our self-chosen destination. Liberia is a monument to the hypocrisy, inhumanity and perfidy of the Colonization Society, in whose scheme vast numbers of slave-holders and many Northern people participated, although, must to their credit, about all of the latter class soon discovered their mistake and went over to the Anti-slavery movement. Considering the material sent out by the Colonization Society to settle Liberia, it is no wonder that that so-called Republic has been and promises ever to be a failure. Indeed, only by a miracle can it ever prove any but a failure. It was settled by newly manumitted slaves, without education, without money, without experience and without sincere friends; who, when they landed in Liberia were practically penniless, misguided by exaggerations, misrepresentations and lies, and left a prey to slave-catchers who infested the coast and to savages on the interior boundary. To read of the terrible sufferings, privations, heart yearnings of, and the reprehensible treatment inflicted by the projectors and supporters of that so-called philanthropic society toward those deluded emigrants, would harrow even the hardest of hearts. The enormous balance long since overdue, on account of unpaid labor performed during the course of hundreds of years, establishes a valid claim upon the government (which, after all, is the really accountable party) for sufficient funds to purchase a territory large enough to furnish a home for each of the ten millions of the colored population and a reasonable reserve public domain to spare, as well as an additional amount for farming utensils and provisions for man and beast for at least one year. Even this sum would scarcely consume a moiety of our claim, if fairly liquidated. If Uncle Sam won't give us our civil and political rights, Liberia never; but how about Lower California, brethren? man and Heflin, it is clear that they are on a different "tack." It cannot be possible that they really want the colored people to leave the South. They are only nervous, and apprehensive and hysterical. They know that with education, the colored people will sooner or later, demand and command fair treatment—fair wages, protection to life and home and property, under the law—and the policy of the colored man's enemies is to keep the race in ignorance and poverty. Under such conditions, the enemy may continue to rob, murder, disfranchise colored men and outrage colored women with impunity, in short, conduct an absolute and irresponsible despotism. These vampires would starve to death, or be compelled to make terms with strang- ers whom they could not control, should they lose the colored people. No, that howl is a feint, intended only for the North to hear—the same old diplomacy, which Charles Dickens rightly called "plain lying"—with which they have successfully bated their traps to catch the North, lo! these many years—Mrs. La Follette has done the race incalculable service, the full benefits of which she cannot estimate. That she and her's may continue to prosper along all lines which make for robust health, ever-increasing happiness and solid prosperity; for a perpetual unfolding of those beautiful gifts with which she is so richly endowed and which she has dedicated to the uplift of humanity, is the prayer of The Bee, and of the thousands of aspiring and hopeful men and women who have read or heard of her splendid article. STRAWS. Uncle Sam's "conscience fund" seems to be growing unpopular, here of late. The amount received during the last fiscal year, shows a falling off from that usually received. The average annual contribution, during the past century, has been $4,200. During the year just passed, the sum of only $2,814.44 was added to the fund. What can the matter be! When Teddy was President, conscience-strenken penitents loosened up to the tune of $35,968, one regenerate alone turning in $18,669.60. It is possible that the strenuosity of the moral influence of Teddy's administration so stirred up the old-time Methodist revival spirit that many sinners were brought to repentance and the contribution box. Per contra, since last November, political influences appear to have been unfavorable to the gratification of qualms as to such simple matters as Right and Wrong. There has been a marked absence of moral influence here of late, in the Government's methods, if we except the cold-footed policy touching Mexican affairs, which favors more the temptation to take from than of adding to a "conscience fund." But, the thing may be looked at from many angles. There may be some few immortal Negro ministers, but thank God the race has not yet produced a Richeson or a Schmidt. It took the "superior" race to give us such leacherous, blood-letting brutes. The next B. M. C., of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is more than a year off, yet a mighty scramble is going on for the highest office. Fences are being repaired, and intrigues being formulated. In all these the poor common brother in the order, who just pays his dues and attends meetings, is not consulted. When a fellow writes himself up as "Hon." "celebrated correspondent," and such, and himself forwards it to the newspaper he writes for, the word "nascating" is inadequate to express one's disgust. We do wish, among Negroes, the plain, though euphonious "Mr." would come back in style. "Hon." for, the mere officeholder, "Professor" for the ordinary school teacher, and "Doctor" for every half-graduate of a small college with a high school curriculum, has about gone the limit. How we would like to greet the plain, simple, unostentatious "Mr." EDITOR CHASE AGAIN ON THE WAR PATH. He Is After the Negro Press Association This Time. 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—Washington Bee. We do not understand the editor of The Bee. Thought that the editor of the Afro-American was a splendid editor and a newspaper man of broad experience. Will The Bee explain itself a little plainer?—The Baptist Reporter. The foregoing was published before the last meeting of the alleged National Business League Press Association. Editor Murphy has since joined an amalgamated association. He should eliminate all bogus or otherwise newspaper correspondents and have an association of real editors. We need an association of editors. The Bee means no reflection on its able contemporary, Editor Murphy, but it does say that the National Negro Press Association should consist of editors. ANSWER TO VARDAMAN. The Greatest Rejoinder That Was For You Dr. Geo. H. Richardson, no doubt the greatest philosopher and writer in the colored race, has prepared an exhaustive rejoinder to Senator Jas. K.

You can use my rudder for a snow plough, as Thackeray once said, if I ain't puzzled on the decisions Judge Pugh and Judge Maloney coughed down. Judge Pugh, and I always thought he knew more law than old Blackstone ever surmised, and had the Law Library beat to a frazzle on information, says its a fellow's own business when he sips a bit of beer on his front door step. Just about when "we us" was getting ready to enjoy ourselves under the Pugh interpretation of the law, Judge Maloney pokes his head down over the bench, and says it is a ten days and $10 fine to poke your nose in a growler of beer on your front door step. Now over at Heurick's suds factory, some of those hop workers, heard of Judge Pugh's decision, and just lay themselves down on the platform extension to the suds factory and drunk some green beer for lunch. One of those meddlesome cops came along, one of those what ain't got no humor in his make-up, and run the bunch in. The next morning Judge Maloney got 'em, the whole smithereens. Course their attorney, after hitting them for a few dollars all around, remarked to them: "Bums, this is a puddin'. Judge Maloney will let you off with congratulations, and order the arrest of the copy what run youse in when I spring Judge Pugh's decision on him. You know Pugh and Maloney are buddies. Why, say there ain't nuthin' to it." Then he reminded Judge Maloney of his side pardner's decision. Judge Maloney sort of cased himself down in his chair, stretched his legs out, and peering over the top of the bench in an ominious sort of manner, soliloquized to himself: "Who in the devil is Judge Pugh, anythow." Finally he came to, gazed down on the prisoners, and said something about time and imprisonment. Then the attorney for the defense bolted up and impressed the Judge with his associate's decision in a similar case. But it didn't go with Maloney. He was just a stubborn as a mule, and declared no doorstep ain't no place to guzzle beer nohow. \*\*\* Now some of my friends are wondering if Judge Pugh will affirm Judge Maloney's decision, or dissent from it when another case comes before him. My advice to them is to take no chance with these here judges. The best thing to do is to buy your growler of Heurick's and take it away back in the kitchen, lock the door, and pull down the blinds before you drink it, 'cause any Judge is liable not to be feeling it as a feather when your case comes up. Neither Judge Maloney nor Judge Pugh is agoing to have any trouble with me over a growler of Heurick's. I ain't taking no chances, you hear me. Judge Pugh might reverse himself, and then again he might say Judge Maloney wasn't severe enough. Judge Maloney might reverse himself, then again he might say he hadn't looked into the law very clearly the other time, but since then he had slept on it, and discovered it was a "fifty-sixty" crime to drink beer on your front steps, and just carelessly hand you a $50 fine and sixty days in jail. Now there ain't nobody what can hand you a stiff sentence so nochalantly (that's good) as Judge Maloney, except Judge Pugh, and there ain't no judge what can send you up for sixty days so unconsciously as Judge Pugh, except Judge Maloney. Both of them are just the nicest sort of men. They take such a deep interest in you that once in a while, six times a week, they feel they just must put one out of the way of temptation for a few days. Both of them have been mighty good friends of mine, but take it from me. I never want to meet those gentlemen when they are on the bench, and I am couped up in the prisoner's box. I just like a judge to stay in his own place and work on the other fellow, but please do give me no personal acquaintance with a judge when he's figuring up how long it will take an average anthracite to work out one of those "fifty-sixty" sentences. They tell me that since Judge Maloney's decision them there brewery workers down at Heurick's are afraid to look at a keg of beer after they roll it out of the suds factory. And I don't blame them. Kitchen, with the blinds down and door locked, for mine, when I gets a beer appetite. Since the "Boolay" met here have been more guys trying to break into some kind of a degree, just to become eligible for membership. I met one cake of tar soap down on Seventh street last Tuesday who asked me if the third degree in Masonry was degree enough to break into the "Boolay." And another brother from over near Anacostia asked a certain colored policeman if the Past Noble Father's degree in the Odd Fellows wouldn't admit a fellow into the "Boolay." I'm telling you none of them there degrees is a fittin for anything except sick and death benefits. The more degrees like them you got the less your benefits for your wife and children. Now to break into the "Boolays" you must have one of those rhinestone degrees. Just got to be an A.B. D.D. Phd, and some social standing. If you ain't got no social standing why all the degrees what DuBois is packing around as excess baggage wouldn't get you in. I know three fellows what tried to break through who had a sort of xy social standing, and they got stopped just the same as Huerta stopped John Lind. But they ain't saying nothing about it. Just as I was handing this to Chase, I got word that Tom Jones had "returned to America." It took Tom five minutes—five, count' em, to return. He was away over in Windsor, Canada—just across 'from Detroit. autohouser of a new piece of music entitled "Just for a Kiss," had had it published, and it is in popular demand in all music stores.

Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock. A very enthusiastic and largely attended meeting was held. After devotional exercises, led by Mr. Andrew Williams, the scriptural lesson was read by Rev. O. McDuffy. Following which sentence prayers were given by nearly all of the members, closing prayer by Mrs. A. Waddleton. The president, Miss Anna Payne, had just returned from her vacation and a most hearty and cordial reception was given her upon her first appearance before the society Sunday night. With her usual vigor and earnestness she outlined the lesson, and then promised the society big things that would be accomplished this winter. After a few comments on the lesson by different members, the meeting closed, all declaring it to be the best and the most largely attended of any held during the past few months. Dr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of public schools of this city, will address the society on next Sunday evening on the subject, "Christian Education." All are invited to attend. SUCCESSFUL TENNIS TOURNA-MENT. Association Tennis Club Creates a Sensation—Great Social and Athletic Event. The Inter-City Tennis Tournament given by the Association Tennis Club of this city, closed on Monday afternoon with the exception of double finals, which will be played next Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock for the convenience of Mr. Winifred Braxton, of Baltimore, employed in the city schools of that city. The tournament was a brilliant success from an athletic as well as a social viewpoint. The splendid courts—belonging to the club were kept in almost perfect condition, which combined with the ideal weather conditions prevailing during the week, made the event of last week one long to be remembered. The out-of-town players were S. J. M. Brock and George R. Adams, of Philadelphia, Ralph Cook, Harry McCard and Winifred Braxton, of Baltimore, and Dr. McGriffe, from Portmouth, Va. On the evening of the 11th, the club gave an outing party at Green Willow Park, Anacostia, and on Saturday night a "smoker" for the men visitors at True Reformers' Hall, where cards were played from 8 to 10 o'clock—luncheon from 10 to 11 o'clock and speaking thereafter. Lieutenant Thomas H. R. Clarke acted as toastmaster. All the visitors present were called upon for remarks, as were many of the members of the club. The affair was very pleasurable. The tournament was an elimination contest during the progress of which the seats erected for visitors were crowded every afternoon until dark, testifying to the widespread interest which social Washington took in the game. There is a marked improvement in tennis standards as shown during the tournament.

THE Ten Commandments were written upon two stone tablets. One bore the first four commandments, appertaining to God; the other, the remaining six, appertaining to humanity. The 'essence of these last' six was expressed in Jesus' words, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Whoever loves his neighbor will not intentionally injure him in act, word or thought. Hence, Love expresses the full measure of the requirements of the Law. (Romans 13:10.) Love is at liberty to do more than the Law requires, but cannot do less. While only Christians are credited by the Lord with fulfilling the requirements of the Law—because of the allowance made for their weaknesses on account of their relationship with Christ—nevertheless, the Jews and many others have been blessed in proportion as they endeavored to fulfill the Law. Hence it is wise and proper to lift high the Divine standards. Honor Father and Mother. All parents are eration from their children. Yet, of course, the degree of respect must depend upon the character of the parents, to some extent. With disobedience to parents rank and rampant everywhere. It may seem a hard saying, but we believe it true, that the child's disobedience is due to the eration. EMPLOYERS SHOULD SHEE-CURD AGAINST ACCIDENTS The child may have been ill-born. Discontent and rebellion in the mother's mind during the period of gestation may have so marked the child that no amount of training may fully recover it. In such a case parents may well be patient with unhappy, disobedient dispositions in their children. Perhaps the parents were only partially to blame. Perhaps their minister did not preach the laws of God, their human operation and the penalties of their violation, but gave flowery essays and anecdotes containing neither food for the spiritual nature nor assistance in understanding and combating the human weaknesses. Perhaps the father forgot that he had a duty toward his offspring, chiefly served by assisting his wife to thoughts of kindness, gentleness, nobility, etc. A modern writer of influence holds that Sunday Schools, while accomplishing good in one direction, have also weakened the respect of children for parents and released parents from appreciation of their parental responsibilities. One hour per week in Sunday School cannot take the place of continual parental supervision. Statistics show that boys from sixteen to twenty years old constitute about one-third of all dangerous criminals, and that their proportionate number is increasing. Hence benevolent people should especially co-operate with the Divine command by encouraging obedience to parental authority. "Thou Shalt Do No Murder." Nothing in this command forbids the necessary killing of animals. Neither does it forbid the execution of criminals, for thus it would conflict with Divine Law elsewhere expressed, and practised by Divine direction. This commandment teaches that life is to be prized, not jeopardized. Its spirit, Jesus declared, forbids an angry, murderous spirit, restrained merely by fear of consequences. This commandment makes it incumbent upon those employing labor or having supervision of others to safe-guard against accidents. To allow self-interest or love of money to perpetuate dangerous conditions is to violate this commandment. Commit Not Adultery. One result of man's fall has been deprivation of sexual appetites—unchastity, lack of self-control. These tendencies lead away from God and righteousness. The family unit of one husband and one wife, originally established in Eden, is a corner stone of righteousness in both family and national life. from another his possessions. Some subtle forms of theft are through stock speculations, fake companies organized to take advantage of others, etc. Making false returns to the tax assessor is stealing. So are smuggling and failure to give agreed upon services for wages re- SUBTLE forms of theft are through stock speculations, fake companies organized to take advantage of others, etc. Making false returns to the tax assessor is stealing. So are smuggling and failure to give agreed upon services for wages received. But the worst form of theft is stealing another's good name, in violation of the Scriptures. "Bear No False Witness." Daily is the spirit of this injunction violated, not only in misrepresenting what we wish to sell or buy, but by indirect statements, by a nod, a shrug, or by silence when it is understood to mean consent. "Thou Shalt Not Covet." Covetousness is a heart disease which has to do with every crime; for slurs have their basis in selfishness, which is covetousness. Whoever would keep the spirit of God's Law must guard against covetousness. NORRIS ATTACKS GREAT FORTUNES Senator Assalis Astor and Carnegie In Speech. TARIFF RIDER DEFEATED. Proposed to Levy 75 Per Cent Tax on All Inheritances of $50,000,000 or More—Outlines His Reasons For Believing Amendment Was A Good One—Defeated by Decisive Vote. Washington.—The names of Vincent Astor, Andrew Carnegie and other men of great wealth figured in a discussion in the senate on the subject of swollen fortunes. Several very unkind things were said about the laird of Skibo and the means which he had adopted to distribute his fortune. The discussion came up on an amendment to the tariff bill offered by Senator Norris of Nebraska. It provided for a graduated inheritance tax. The tax starts at 1 per cent on inheritances of $50,000 and is graduated rapidly upward to a proposed levy of 75 per cent on inheritances of more than $50,000,-000. The Norris amendment was defeated by an overwhelming vote. Senator Norris said in speaking of his amendment: "To illustrate the working out of this amendment I wish to take the estate of John Jacob Astor. Let me say right here that I have nothing against any of the Astors or any of their predecessors or any of those who live now. As far as I know none of them has ever done a dishonorable act in the acquisition of property. "As far as I know the present young Mr. Astor is perfectly honorable, perfectly honest and has not done anything to secure his fortune that is illegal, disreputable, unfair or dishonest. When his father, John Jacob Astor, 3 SENATOR NOBRIS. went down in the Titanic he left an estate, speaking in round numbers, valued at about $50,000,000. "I am informed by the officials in New York city that this estate represents the increase in value of an original investment—a great many years ago, of course—of less than $2,000,000 and that all of this immense fortune has been brought about by the increase in value of real estate, principally on Manhattan island, in which for all these years the estate has been invested. "With an investment, let us say—and it is liberal, as I understand it—of $2,000,000 years ago made by the original Astor, the estate has grown until at this death of John Jacob Astor it amounted to $90,000,000.* During all those years, for several generations, the Astors have really done nothing except to see the estate grow and become more valuable and to live in luxury off its income. "This property, originally worth $2,000,000, now worth $90,000,000, has been made valuable by the public. Every man who ever paid taxes in New York has contributed something toward its value. Every man who ever erected a building on Manhattan island, whether it was a mansion on Broadway or a humble cottage in the suburbs, has done something to make this estate greater. "From the man in the street who laid the paving blocks to the master minds that planned the giant skyscrapers which lift their heads up in the clouds, every one of them has contributed' something to the Astors Every drop of sweat that ever trickled down over the brow of labor on Manhattan island for a century has contributed its mite to the Astor fortune. "There is nothing unjust, Mr. President, there is nothing unfair in such a case, after the man who owned it has used it during his lifetime, for the government to say at his death, before anybody shall take his fortune which the people of the country have in reality made. 'We will levy a tax and give a portion of it back to the people.'"

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 780 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. Irecords 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 26,079 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 6,651 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 3.901 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? Believed Thoughts Were Visible. Strange Request In Will.

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 seat of the thought located it would make it possible to correct defects in the brain by surgical operations. Overladen Apple Trees 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 breaking down under the weight of the growing fruit. Dog Stops Court Case. 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 vizier, 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 spitting 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 curse of their prayers meant as little as the Mohammadan's.
