IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIV, NO. 33 WASHINGTON. D.C. SATURDAY. JANUARY 31, 1914 THE JEANES FUND Big Meeting of the Trustees. New York, Jan. 24, 1914. The regular annual meeting of the trustees of the Negro Rural School Fund, generally known as the Anna T. Jeanes Foundation of One Million Dollars, was held here Saturday, January 24, in the rooms of the General Education Board, Whitehall Building, 17 Battery place. Present at the meeting were Dr. James H. Dillard, president; Maj. R. R. Moton, commandant of Hampton Institute, Virginia, secretary; George Foster Peabody, of New York City, the well-known philanthropist; J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tennessee, former Register of the U. S. Treasury; Hon. George McAneny, president of the board of aldermen, New York City; Belton Gilethrath, Birmingham, Ala., a wide-awake, enterprising and liberal Southerner; Dr. S. C. Mitchell, of Richmond, Va., president of the Richmond Medical College, and late president of the University of South Carolina; R. L. Smith, Waco, Tex., president of the Farmers' Improvement Society of Texas; Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, Va.; H. T. Kealing, president of Western University, Quindaro, Kan.; Dr. Talcott Williams, director of the Pulitzer School of Journalism, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, proxy representative for Dr. Booker T. Washington, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Foundation. Dr. Frissell presided during the deliberations of the board. By reports it was shown that the trustees of the board during the past year is responsible for the employment of 118 rural school supervisors in 119 counties of the South. The States being aided are: Alabama. $3,522,500; Arkansas, $2,675; Florida. $1,790; Georgia, $4,250; Kentucky, $115; Louisiana, $3,199,50; Maryland. $120; Mississippi, $4,375; North Carolina, $8,602,50; South Carolina, $3,115; Tennessee, $1,645; Texas, $133; Virginia, $2,497. Total, $3,042. Special teachers, $1,220. Total for supervising teachers, $34,362. The board also has spent about $1,290 during the past year for building and equipment, requiring the counties to spend out of the public treasury in each case at least an equal sum. The total expenditures of the board of trustees are about $40,000 a year. Through the Jeanes Fund Board and its president working in conjunction with the University Commission; composed of representatives of all the Southern State Universities, a liberalizing sentiment in favor of the education of all the children of the South, black and white alike, is being promoted and extended. John T. Emlen, of Philadelphia, was elected to fill the vacancy on the board caused by the death of the late Robert C. Ogden. A committee composed of Dr. Talcott Williams. Hon. J. C. Napier and Maj. R. R. Moton was appointed to draft appropriate resolutions in memory of the late Robert C. Ogden—one of the first members of the board. Difficulties of the Teachers. Dr. Dillard in his annual report, in speaking first on the work of the teachers, said: "With very few exceptions, they have done their work with an intelligence and devotion that deserve the highest admiration. It is hard for us to realize the conditions under which many of them have to carry on their work in passing from school to school. The more problem of transportation is a difficult one. In many instances they depend upon the kindness of some patron of one school to take them on to the next. Some counties have made an appropriation for the traveling expenses. A few of the teachers own their team. Many of them walk long distances to keep their appointments, carrying with them their bag of materials. Looking over the whole range of noble pioneers and missionaries, I do not find any to measure ahead of these humble workers. "Six States—Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Kentucky—now have State supervisors of the colored rural schools. This work is supported by the General Education Board, and it is proving to be of great assistance in our work in these States. The Jeanes teachers send monthly reports to these State supervisors, as well as to the county superintendents, thus strengthening the bond of co-operation, and making all the work more and more a part of the State organization. * * * * * * * * * Need for Better Buildings. "Public school authorities can be counted upon to welcome co-operation in providing, better buildings. There is a tremendous need of betterment. It is hard to imagine the rudeness and dilapidation of the buildings in which nearly all of the country schools are held. The city, town and village school houses for the colored children are often fairly good. But in the open country, where we profess to wish the people to remain, and where we profess to wish to train these country children to better country living, anything better than a disgraceful shack is rarely to be found for the school house. It should be remembered that while the tens are going into the decent and sightly buildings of the town schools and the larger institutions, the ten thousands are going into the little country school houses, and that 9,999 of these 10,000 will never have the opportunity of seeing the inside of any other school.* * * * * "The need in the South is still great for bringing to the front the better thought of our most intelligent and progressive people. I look upon this as our great Southern problem of today. Politicians count relatively far more with us of the South than they do in any other part of the country. Public sentiment is more dependent upon the professional politician in the South than it is upon all other classes of public men, such as clergymen, educators and educated men of business. It is the politicians that have the louder hearing in the public press. We badly need more voices from the thinkers who are not politicians, and we need a brave, wise, commanding voice from some politician who is a statesman." SETTLEMENT WORK A Large Christian Endeavor Meeting. The Allen Christian Endeavor Society of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church held a very interesting meeting last Sunday evening, January 25, at the above named place. A good attendance was present and the exercises were intensely enjoyed by all of those present. The topic for the evening was "The Perils Thay Threaten Our Nation," found in Jeremiah 22: 1-5, 13-18. Miss Bella Smith was leader of the meeting with Miss H. J. Ball as chairman of the missionary committee. The meeting was opened with devotional exercises conducted by the leader, after which the principal speaker was introduced in the person of Miss Helen Adams, a worker in the colored Social Settlement activities of this city. She has recently returned from London and Scotland and is now engaged in settlement work here. Her talk was forceful and full of interest. She spoke of many of the perils which threaten the nation, laying especial emphasis upon the moving picture shows being open on Sundays, the street cars, cigar stores and other businesses being operated on the Sabbath in order that a few of us might have a little worldly pleasure. She deplored the fact that drunkenness among our young people is on the increase, and that with society in full swing and the dance hall wielding its weapon, that the young man and young woman are subjected to many more temptations than formerly. The effective cure for all of these evils was suggested by Miss Adams, by beginning to rear the children correctly in the home, the parents' should be sufficiently intimate with their children to tell them of these evils and how to avoid them. Miss Adams further asked that a movement be started at once to establish a probationary home for colored girls, the only place available at the present time being the reform scool. At the close of the meeting many of those present went forward and pledged their support to Miss Adams in her future endeavors. Short talks were also made by Mrs. I. N. Ross, Mrs. Wilson, a settlement worker, and Mr. Solden Lowry, chairman of the finance committee. Miss Williams sang a solo, followed by a reading by Master Abner Thomas, of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. A few announcements were then made by the president, Miss Anna S. Payne, after which we read letters of thankfulness sent to the society by the colored inmates of the Home for the Aged and Infrim, for the treat which they enjoyed on New Year's Day at the hands of members of our society, and from a destitute family—strangers in the city—who were given help by the endeavorers. After which the collection was lifted and then the benediction was rendered by Rev Frank Wilson. Next Sunday will be given over to the Endeavor extension work, and a special program has been prepared. THE POOR OF THE CITY. Where Contributions May Be Sent. The Woman's Interdenominational Charity Association, organized December 30, 1913, to serve the needy of the city with bread and soup during the winter months, beginning February 1, 1914, and continuing through March, earnestly requests that every church in the city co-operate and become a part of the association, thereby enlarging Contributions of any kind for the needy will be gladly accepted by the chairman in charge of any of the following Bread and Soup Stations: Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Mrs. W.

Miss Helen Adams, who has been engaged in missionary work in Scotland for fifteen years, will help in an ecclesiastical way at each station. THE JAPANESE Not Dealing With the American Negro—Dam the Constitution is not Zamming the Japanese—Tillman, Vardaman, Hoke Smith and Blease Will Talk. Editor of The Bee: Official and diplomatic Washington seem stirred up over the utterances of the Japanese foreign minister who told the Japanese parliament that "other ways" must be devised in dealing with the California situation, etc. Uncle Sam had better be on the alert less be caught napping, for the Japs haven't got one drop of Negro blood in their veins. They are people who dare to resent an insult from any nation regardless of its strength, whether numerical, financial, or otherwise. But we can see that no less fear should disturb our peaceful breast from the Jap's "other ways" of dealing with the California situation than the words "am the United States Constitution" by a seemingly mad man, from the jungles of South Carolina, in the lerson of one Governor Cole L. Blease, who desires to be chief cook and bottle washer for that section of the country. "Dam the United States constitution!" Myl And this same gentleman—take notice you patriotic lovers of the Stars and Stripes—is headed towards the United States Senate! And it strikes us that the United States Senate is a place whose sacred chamber is one with which the entire country have something to say as to who should sit therein.. And the American people owe it to their good name to issue an edict to the effect that no man who cares so little for the constitution as does one Cole L. Blease is worthy of a seat within that sacred chamber. There are no State senators in the United States Senate. Every Senator is a "United States" Senator who sits there. He represents not only the State which sent him there; but he, is a United States Senator, represents every State in the Union, of which we trust the good people of South Carolina still feel they are a part. We wonder how the good and patriotic people of liberty loving States feel to have such a one as Blease to represent them. Are they not ashamed of him? I am going to venture the assertion that no man who would curse the constitution would at the same time bless the flag! Say, Gov. Blease, if you say you hate the constitution and love the flag; you will find it mighty hard to find a sane man or woman who would believe you. Nuff sed along that line, at least, for the present. And now a few words relative to this desipper of the colored people—this foul-mouth defamer of woman-kind. Blease, Gov. Blease, if you please, makes the very bold and untruthful assertion that there is "absolutely no morality among Negro women." Well, 'twas at the knee of his immoralf()? black mamma that he learned the Lord's prayers, if he knows them at all, and it took him a h—of a long time to find it out. We hope the time is not far away when he and his ilk will repent for the injustice that's now being done the in-offensive colored race. Blease seems to think his abuse of the colored race is a sure and near way to the United States Senate. But he may thank his God that he is blessed with sense enough to confine his abuse to the colored women only; for if he should stretch his foul-mouth slander to the women that's daily coming here from the slums of Europe he would find it necessary to retract or abide the consequences. Gov. Blease is not only a disgrace to the State of South Carolina, but he is a disgrace to this entire country. And the sooner the American people put a stop to such disturbers of the peace it will be better for all concerned. Why is he everlastingly abusing the colored people? Wit it have they done to him? The colored people are the best friends tie white people ever had, or ever will have, and they should curb these wild asses who continue to bray and malign the good name of those who have proven the world that they are well worthy of all that has been done by the good Christian men and women to make good law-abiding citizens of them. But Gov. Blease, of South Carolina is going to 'the Senate, he says; and, although the Fed- eral Constitution gives the colored man the right to vote, that right has been taken from him by men of the Blease way of thinking; for, he says, "Dam the Constitution." And possibly he forgot to go just a little further on and say, to h—with the flagl He can't hate the one and love the other. No, all true Americans love both of them alike. J. C. CUNNINGHAM. SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR Cole L. Blease, Received the Following Letter from Prof. J. D. Baltimore. Washington,D.C., January 25, 1914. Cole L. Blease. Governor of South Carolina. I have just read an article in the Washington Post which quotes, several utterances of yours, relative to the Negro race. One of which, I, in common with all intelligent, self-respecting men, white or black would be cowards if we failed to express our indignation at your blanket charge of immorality of the Negro race and especially your reference to the morals of the women of my race. The charge you make "that the Negro race has no standard of morals" is absolutely false, and if it were true, who would be to blame? Are Negro men responsible for the mixture of races in your southland? Who are the fathers of the mulattoes and octoroons? Will you answer? You know as well as I and everybody else that the white man of the South will not let his house maid or nurse escape the passion that completely engrosses him. No man would let such a charge against the women of his race go unchallenged. Would you? Humani nihil a me alienim. Your bold criticism of the Negro is false, and malicious, as is well known and admitted by scores of honest thinking and justice loving white people, who are too big to stoop to low and mean things. Your villainous aim like that of many of your type is founded upon the common custom to smirch the Negro race, especially those whose aim is to rise in the scale of-respectability and refinement. I do not know you personally, but could not resist the impulse to let you know that my race like all other races are tired of being insulted by those who are responsible in a large degree for our undesirable condition. There are good and bad—moral and immoral, ignorant and intelligent in all races, and it is the God imposed duty of the strong to help the weak and aid in their uplift; not to retard their progress and then blame them for their deficiencies. J. D. BALTIMORE. 505 You Street N. W. Bethel Literary and Historical Association. The Bethel Literary and Historical Association was entertained last Tuesday evening at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, in a song service by the choir of Berean Baptist church. The program rendered was one of the best ever given to a Washington audience, and met the praise of all lowers of music. The general tone of the service was beyond the ordinary, and showed that those who participated were well prepared with talent and training. The program was as follows: Organ prelude. Invocation. -Chorus, "The King of Love My Shepard$d$Is"—Choir. -Solo, "Redemption"—Miss Alice Nelson. Chorus, "Show Me Thy Way"— Choir. Solo, "Abide With Me"—Miss Beatrice Ware. Violin Solo, "Legend"—Mr. Francis Desales Miller. Chorus, "Sweet Is Thy Mercy"— Choir. Solo, "The Peace of God"—Mr. Thos, Heathman. Solo—Miss Blanche Wright. Motet, "Gallia"—Choir. Mr. Louis N. Brown presided at the organ, and Mr. James T. Beason lead. This service demonstrated the great adaptability of the Negro for music, and that the churches are developing a higher appreciation for the perfect as near as possible in music. Y.W.C.A. The quarterly meeting of the C. Y. W. C. A. was held in the parish hall of Calvary Chapel last Tuesday evening. The president, Mrs. Bettie G. Francis, called the meeting to order. The reports of the different committees were read and accepted. The address of the evening was by Miss Eva Bowles, city secretary of the national association of New York City. Miss Bowles, a most interesting and instructive talker, spoke of the association movement of the raising of $4,000,000 to carry on the work. She told of the giving of $250,000 for colored Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. buildings in New York City, $150,000 for the men and $100,000 for the women. Miss Josephine Pynion, well known in Washington, is a worker in New York. Every where in the large cities of the country Y. W. C. A. buildings are being built and the movement is spreading world wide. The lecture was listened to with great attention by the local members, who are deeply interested in their work. Mrs. B. K. Bruce, Mrs. Childs, Mrs. Calloway and Miss E. F. G. Merritt were elected delegate to the conference which meets in Philadelphia. SOCIAL EQUALITY. WHAT IS IT? To the Editor of The Rec: Does the exercise of public rights constitute social equality? Has color anything to do with social equality? Does the ignorant laborer, become the social equal of the educated banker, because he is allowed to ride in the same car with him, merely because of his being white? I have just read a controversy between the editor of the Greensboro, North Carolina, Daily News and President Dudley, of the A. & M. College on the subject of segregation, and social equality. The editor favors race segregation as a preventive of social equality, while President Dudley opposes segregation because of its rank injustice, when put into practice. He disclaims any desire on the part of Negroes for social equality, while the editor of the News holds that social equality is the Negro's fondest dream. Both these learned men argue from false premises. The street car, Hotel, the theater, the cafe and the government departments at Washington are protected as much by the black citizen as the white. The Negro is taxed to pay the police, the fire department and for the support of the general government equally with his white fellow citizen. He is held equally responsible for any infraction of the law. He can be called upon and forced to defend with his life any mob violence against any of these institutions; and yet according to the editor of the News, he should not be allowed to enter equally with other citizens, because of his race and color, because of the fear that he may become the social equal of the whites. What nonsense! There can be no social intercourse without their mutual consent. The white people of the South should hide their heads in shame when accusing Negroes of trying to force themselves upon them in a social way. The forcing has been the other way as is convincingly shown by the mixed complexions of Negroes all over the South. (Many of them as white as any there are down there.) Although this condition is about as near social equality as can be conceived of, nothing of the kind was ever mooted during the period of its greatest existence. Nobody can associate with me on terms of equality if I do not want his society, and still he may enjoy the same public rights that I do without discrimination. The intelligent white people of this country know full well that the Negro is not contending for any social privilege with them. They know full well that as a class he is concerned only about his rights as an American citizens under the laws and Constitution of his country. Social affairs are not included therein, and will regulate themselves according to the tastes and desires of the individual. No white person can be forced to associate with a Negro, nor a Negro with a white person. That they do so is of their own choosing. This cry of social equality is only raised for the sole purpose of depriving the Negro of his common citizenship rights. Is there anything chivalrous, manly or humane in this continual pursuit and persecution of the Negro at a time, too, when he is making his best efforts to elevate himself to a higher plane of citizenship and usefulness to himself and his country. Is it safe at these perilous times to alienate any portion of our countrymen by exhibitions of race hatred and humiliating persecutions through unjust discriminations? In this universal call for peace between the civilized nations of the world, I would call for peace as between races and nationalities. A race claiming superiority should at least be magnanimous enough to treat those it proclaims its inferior with fairness. CHAS. R. DOUGLASS. 318 A Street N. E. George R. Crawford Dead. (Special to The Bee.) Boston, Mass., Jan. 25. Announcement is made from Boston of the death of Mr. George R. Crawford, the oldest of the well known Crawford brothers of Boston, Mass.

Bloomington, Ind. - That students from rural districts almost invariably are better mathematicians than city boys is the assertion of Professor David Rothrock of Indiana university, who substantiated his statement with data concerning the 250 students enrolled in the mathematics department. In the report Professor Rothrock has compiled the students are placed in three groups—those whose fathers are farmers, those whose fathers are engaged in professions and those whose fathers are engaged in the commercial world. The students from the farm, of whom there are 29 per cent, averaged 82.4 in their final examinations as compared with 74.5 for the second class and 63.6 for the third class. The ability of the student from the farm to concentrate is given as the season for his superiority in mathematics.

Describe the article on your own New York.—An event of great economic importance will be realized early in 1014 by the completion of the Central railway in German East Africa. Construction was begun in 1904 and completed to Tabora, 530 miles from the seaboard terminal, in February, 1912. The railroad when completed will extend 786 miles—from Daressalam, on the Indian ocean, to Kigoma, on Lake Tanganyika. The line divides the German colony into two equal areas, thus making a trunk system from which branches may be built over a great part of the colony. A vast and productive region is thus opened for establishing plantations. It will also become the outlet for the broad hinterland in which lies Lake Tanganyika, with its 400 mile stretch of navigable waters, tributary to which is a rich commercial region in the heart of Africa. Along the extensive shore of this lake products will be gathered and distributed by a fleet of ships co-operating with the railway. German East Africa, with its area of 384,000 square miles and a population of 10,000,000, is certain to respond to the economic advantages created by the completion of the Central railway. Great areas of wild land will be brought into modern cultivation, in which large capital will be invested, new mineral regions and forest areas will be exploited and public highways will be extended. TAFT TROUSERS TOO BIG. He Directs Tailor to Reduce the Waist Girth of Thirty-five Pairs New Haven, Conn.-Losing weight has compelled former President Taft to have his garments modeled on less generous lines. He gave a local journeyman tailor an order for changes to be made in thirty-five pairs of trousers. Mr. Taft has reduced his weight eighty pounds, and his waist line has drawn in six inches so that it now measures forty-eight inches. Mr. Taft stipulated that a reef should be taken in the waist of each pair of trousers, the fullness to be "gathered in" at both sides and the front. The tailor will also alter thirty-five coats and vests to conform to Mr. Taft's bodily measurements as a Yale professor. IS YOUR CHICKEN SANDED? Uncle Sam Intends to Find Out—May Prosecute Dealers. Washington.-The department of agriculture will investigate the charges that some of the poultry sold in New York markets is sanded to increase the weight. Dealers thought guilty of the practice will be indicted under the pure food laws. Assistant Secretary Galloway said that the department had been receiving complaints from New York for more than a year that middlemen were sanding poultry. Too Much Culture. "Aunt Penelope Wiggins," as every body called her, was visited one summer by a niece, a Yasasir college graduate. Aunt Penelope was one of the most hospitable souls alive, but she was not greatly impressed by the superior learning of her young relative, and one day she freed her mind about her thus: "Talk to me about what a college education does for a girl! What do you suppose Matilda said to me the first day she came? She said: 'I'm so glad to meet you, aunty!' You accent your name on the Aunty Penultimate, don't you? Did you ever hear such nonsense? I had to tell her my name wasn't Aunty Penultimate, but Aunty Penelope, and I thought she would die a-laughing!" BOY DIES AMONG "HEALERS." Lad Was Starved in "Holy Ghost and Us" Colony. Lewiston, Me.—Conditions at Shiloh, the colony of the "Holy Ghost and Us" society, are to be investigated again as a result of charges by Mrs Roland Whittum of Brunswick that her thirteen year-old brother, Haydon Jones, died of starvation at Shiloh. Mrs. Whittum alleges that while her brother was ill no physician was called and that no special treatment was given him except that he was put on a diet of corn mush, while two women "healers" prayed over him. The lad died on July 22. PHOTO-DRAMA OF WORLD'S CREATION Formally Opened In Cleveland by Pastor Russell. Formally Opened In Cleveland by Pastor Russell. GOD'S KINGDOM PICTURED. Messiah Was to Be of Lavid's Lineage. God's Typical Kingdom—Overturned. 606 B. C.—One Long Line of World-Empires—"The Times of the Gentiles"—Israel's "Seven Times" of Chastisement—The Two Periods Synchronous About to Expire Now. The Fifth Universal Empire—Jerusalem and Messiah. PASTOR RUSSELL Cleveland, O.. Jan. 25. - Pastor Russell yesterday afternoon in the I. B. S. A. Temple corner of Prospect and East 22nd Street, personally conducted the opening exhibition in this city of the Photo-Drama of Creation. This Drama is acknowledged by art ctr- ics to be by far the finest production of moving pictures and slides ever presented, and is to be shown, free to the public, in all cities and lands throughout the world, under the auspices of the International Bible Students Association, of which Pastor Russell is Presideni. In New York City, in his new $500,000 Temple, two weeks ago, Pastor Russell presented the Drama for the first time to houses crowded from pit to dome. Last Sunday in the famous Music Hall in Cincinnati he personally conducted the opening of the Photo-Drama of Creation there. The Photo-Drama of Creation is produced in conjunction with remarkably clear phonographic discourses, which have behind them the forty years of Bible study by New York's famous Pastor. By some process never before attained the phonographs used in this production have been relieved of the metallic sound altogether, thus producing the very finest oratorical effects. It is the wonder today of talking-machine dealers in the metropolis. The voice is resonant, clear, full and restful, and audiences rarely detect it as the voice of the talking machine. The exhibition is in three parts: Part I traces the creation of the earth and of man, its king—then his fall into sin and its death-punishment, the first promises of complete deliverance from the penalty, and the Deluge and its causes on to Moses' time. Part II points us through the types to Messiah, the great Emancipator of the death-stricken race, and the worldwide blessings His soon-to-be established Kingdom will bring. It introduces us to the Heavenly Logos, who became the man Christ Jesus. It also shows and explains His sacrificial work and His unwavering faithfulness in fulfilling the prophecies concerning Himself, and how His miracles picture the restoration of mankind during His Second presence and reign. Part III, traces not only the sufferings of Christ, the Head, but also those of the Church, His Body, preparatory to their exaltation and consequent glorious work of blessing the non-elect for a thousand years—"whoever will." Pastor Russell yesterday forenoon discussed that feature of the Production of the Photo-Drama that relates to the overthrow of Israel's typical kingdom and the foretold re-establishment of it at the end (now due) of the "seven (symbolic) times" of chastisement at the hands of Him whose right it is. His text and discourse follow: "Remove the diadem, and take on the crown; this shall not be the same * * * I will overturn, overturn, overturn it—until He come whose right it is; and I will give it unto Him." (Ezekiel 21:26, 27.) He said: God established the Jewish nation as His representative nation, or kingdom, in the world, with the understanding that in some manner and at some time that nation would be the channel of Divine blessing to all the families of the earth, in harmony with the original Oath-bound Promise made to Abraham. After a precarious existence of nearly six centuries the star of Jewish Empire set, and has not risen since. The particular date at which the typical Kingdom passed away is clearly marked in the Scriptures. The solidity of the Empire in the hands of King David, and his son, King Solomon, was lost in its division in the days of King Solomon's successor. Nevertheless, in harmony with the Divine prediction, the royal line continued in the tribe of Judah; as it is written, "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a law giver from between his feet, until Shi loh come."-Genesis 49:10. The Lord's covenant with King David was that One from his seed should be the great King over the more glorious Kingdom of God, when it should be established. In other words, Messiah would be of David's lineage. The royal family of David's line had a precarious course for several centuries after King Solomon's death until Zedekiah, the last king, of Judah. Of him the Divine declaration was, "And thou profane and wicked prince of Israel whose day is come when iniquity shall Have an end. Thus saith the Lord God, Remove the diadem, and take off the crown; this shall not be the same. * * * I will overturn, overturn, overturn it; and it shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give it unto Him." That statement was made just prior to Israel's captivity to Babylon. And the crown and the scepter have been overturned ever since, and will continue so to be until Messiah Himself, at His Second Advent, shall take the Throne as the antitypical Son of David. No king of David's line has been in power for even a moment since the overthrow of King Zedekiah. True. Israel had the Maccabean kings under Gentile suzerainty, and later they had the House of Herod. But neither of these lines was of the House of David; indeed, neither was Jewish atall. King Zedekiah lost his crown in 600 B. C.; and surely the kingdom has been well described as "overturned, overturned"; and it is still overturned, because the foreordained time has not yet come—although it is near. There were Gentile kingdoms in the world long before Israel became a monarchy. Yet God recognized only Israel and entered into covenant relationship with no other nation. But as soon as the verdict of our text was given against Israel, to hold until Messiah's Reign, then Divine providence recognized Gentile governments, although not in the same way in which Israel had been recognized—not as kingdoms of God, but as kingdoms of the Gentiles. Nor were all Gentile nations recognized, but one great line of World-Empires of several dynasties which, so to speak, were given temporary or leasehold privileges covering the period of the overturning of Israel's crown—until the time for Messiah's Kingdom. Indeed, in portraying these kingdoms and their leases of power, it is particularly shown that their dominion will terminate absolutely when that of Messiah will begin. Furthermore, Moses prophesied the chastisement of Israel, and in symbolic numbers told that it would last Seven Times. (Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28). The lease of Gentile Times, or years, is likewise Seven Times. Both began to count at the same date. Hence both will terminate simultaneously. When the lease of Gentile domination ends, Messiah's Kingdom will by right begin its Relegn; and Israel, "Jacob," will be associated with Messiah's Empire as His earthly people—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the Prophets being made princes in all the earth as promised. The Prophet Daniel's Foreview. The Prophet Daniel's Foreview. God through the Prophet Daniel supplies us two pictures of the Seven Times of Gentile domination of the world. One of these pictures was given by vision to King Nebuchadnezzar, who overthrew the crown of King Zedekiah. Properly, it gives the worldly view of Gentile governments. The whole period was represented by a glorious image, whose head was of gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron, his feet of iron and clay mixed. Given the pointer that Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom represented the head of gold, any school boy could show that the next Universal Empire was Medo-Persia, the third Greece and the fourth Rome—the feet representing Rome ecclesiastical, with her daughters dominating Europe today. We cannot here go into details except to note that "in the days of these kings" represented by the toes, the God of Heaven promised to set up His Kingdom—Messiah's Kingdom. This is symbolized as a stone cut out of a mountain, which struck the image on its feet and demolished it completely. Then the stone became a great Mountain, or Kingdom, and filled the whole earth—Messiah's Empire.—Dan. 2:31-45. Pictured as Beastly. The vision of Nebuchadnezzar represented Gentile domination as gorgeous. But when a vision was given to Daniel himself it showed matters in a different light. All Gentile kingdoms to him were pictured as beastly. The golden head of Nebuchadnezzar's vision, picturing the Babylonian Empire, was represented as a ferocious lion; the Medo-Persian Empire as a bear; the Grecian Empire as a leopard; and the Roman Empire of the Caesars as a nondescript, great and terrible beast, ferocious and destructive, as the pages of history corroborate. In contrast with these Gentile governments, the coming Kingdom of Messiah was represented as human. "One like unto the Son of Man" took dominion under the whole heavens, in the name of God and as His Kingdom. The beastly forms of government disappeared, but that of the Son of Man endured—accomplishing to the full the Divine purposes—Daniel 7:1-14. Where Are We Now? As before suggested, the key to our problem lies in the Seven Times—the period of Israel's chastisement and that of Gentile lease of power. The measurement in both cases begins at the time of King Zedekiah's dethronement; 606 B. C. A Time is one year; hence the Seven Times are seven years—yet not literal years, but symbolic; and, as God declared through the Prophet, and fulfilled, each day is symbolic of a year. (Ezekiel 4:6.) The year is lunar—360 days; hence each of the Seven Times is 360 years; and the Seven Times equal 2520 years. Now note that these Seven Times are almost expired; and hence Zionism is the watchword of all Jews who are trusting still in the Divine promises. Reckoning from the date of the dethronement of King Zedekiah, we have the date 1915 A.D. This indicates that in 1915 Messiah's invisible, spiritual Kingdom will be in power. The lease of power to the Gentiles will then have expired, and Israel's disfavor will be at an end. This fact implies an awful Time of Trouble at that date, as foretold by the Prophet Daniel and also by our Lord—Daniel 12:1. The great trouble of 1915 will suffice for all time, as says the Prophet, (Psalm 46 0). There will be no more war. Then the "princes" of Israel will have dictatorial powers, backed up by the spiritual Kingdom—just what the world needs, but what it dare not trust to any imperfect men under the present reign of Sin and Death. Jerusalem and Messiah. The time has therefore come for the message of Isaiah 40:1, 2 to be given to God's ancient people. The time has come for the fulfilment of the highest ideals of Zionism! He that blesseth Israel shall be blessed of God! He that curseth Israel shall be cursed of God! Let us all encourage God's ancient people to go up and possess their land, as Cyrus did in a figure long ago! It is not our thought to encourage all Jews to return to Palestine. Many of them are better off where they are at present. Only those who have faith in the precious promises do we encourage to go now. Gradually their numbers will increase, as faith in the promises of God returns to the Jewish heart. But there is a work in which every Jew should have a share. If favorably situated, and unready to go personally, they should go by proxy—they should put plenty of money into the hands of the Zionist Manager at Jerusalem. He should be enabled to assist every worthy son of Abraham fleeing from Russian persecution. He should be prepared to advance money to every settler to purchase every foot of land in Palestine that is offered for sale. He should be enabled to supply all with tools, etc. He should have a free hand to do exploits in the name of God and of His Chosen People. Zionism will prosper, whether or not. Messiah's Kingdom will be set up. But who will have the honor of having manifested his faith by his works and by his money? The love of money is a root of all evil amongst all people and the Jew has not escaped it. Both Jews and Christians need the exhortation not to worship the Golden Calf, but the true God. I can thus reprove and exhort Jew, Gentile and Christian the more freely because it is well known that I never solicit money for myself or the work entrusted to me by the Lord—not even Church collections—not even insinuations that money is scarce and desirable. I do, how ever, exhort Jews in prosperous circumstances to bless their own hearts by helping their own countrymen to fulfil the holy prophecies. God's Great Kingdom at Hand. The fault of Christendom has been the rejection of the Divine Plan and the acceptance instead of a human plan of salvation. The Church, it was asserted, was to convert the world for Jesus and present it to Him as a trophy. Alas, we have not been able to convert ourselves, which is the particular work the Master gave us to do! Greater humility would have shown us our folly long ago. All through the Old Testament God's promises abound, telling all who have ears to hear of the glorious Reign of Messiah and of the success of His Kingdom—that the result shall be that "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, to the glory of God"; that "the yes of the blind shall be opened and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped." We remember the prophecies which picture earthly governments and show us their termination and the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on their ruins. We remember the Jubilee picture repeated by the Israelites every fifteenth year, proclaiming liberty and restoration of property for the people and typifying restitution of all that has been lost through sin and that is to be restored through Messiah's Kingdom. Bible students are more and more coming to see that the Gospel Age is the time in which Messiah is selecting from amongst men a saintly class, and is proving and testing their loyalty to God and to righteousness. These are to be Messiah's assistants—"the Bride, the Lamb's Wife." Bible students all know that the New Testament abounds with references to the Kingdom. Nearly all the parables that our Lord gave were in illustration of something connected with the Kingdom or with the class being called out of the world to inherit the spiritual Kingdom as joiners with Messiah. All such know, too, that the Great Teacher proclaimed that Kingdom, and taught His followers to pray for it. "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is done in Heaven." Bible students all know that the Apostles referred to that Kingdom and pointed the Church to its establishment for the realization of her hopes—the time when the Marriage of the Lamb will take place—the time when God's New Law Covenant with Israel will go into effect—the time when He who scattered Israel will also gather them, and when the Law will go forth from Mount Zion, the Celestial Kingdom, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem, the capital of the earthly princes. Messiah's Kingdom is just what humanity is coming to realize that it needs. In its establishment, as the Scriptures declare, "the desire of all nations shall come"—Hagai 2:7 The Scriptures teach that Messiah's Kingdom is not only to bless those living at the time of its establishment, but gradually to awaken the dead from the tomb, and to give all of Adam's race a full opportunity for attaining life everlasting or death. Indeed, the Bible assures us that eventually the whole world shall receive new life from Messiah. In offset to the life received from Father Adam, forfeited through sin. Thus amongst the various titles of Messiah menigned by the Prophets is that of "the Everlasting Father"—Isaiah 9:1. The Week in Society You believe in drugs and medicines of quality.

Hungerford, the superintendent of the school, is improving. Calloway Chapel M. E. Church was well attended. Beginning with Sunday, school at 10 A. M., there was fairly good attendance, and an increasing interest in the lesson exposition. A pastor's class is being formed, which will interest the seniors. Rev. C. E. Queen, pastor in charge, was present all day, and preached a wonderful sermon at 11 o'clock from the text found in Matt. 12-20: "A bruised reed shall he not break, and a smoking flax shall he not quench." A large audience was present, and the whole house seemed filled with joy. The Epworth League, at 7 o'clock, held a grand service. The topic was discussed with great fervor of spirit. Music was by the Junior Choir, Mr. Guy W. Ferguson in charge. Mr. Chas. Cline, president of the League.

Manager Thomas Presents Something New and Classic—The Howard Theater a scene of Washington's Best Society. "The Old Man's Boy," a new musical drama, has been at the Howard Theater all this week, and has been playing to crowded houses. Manager Thomas, who is an up-to-date and progressive theatrical manager, gave the patrons of his great theater a new musical drama this week, which was appreciated by the large audiences that have filled his theater the entire week. The drama is entertaining and those who have not seen it should not fail to embrace the opportunity of seeing this very entertaining musical combination. While the participants are not professionals, yet Messrs. Rogers and Creamer deserve the highest commendation. The company is composed of some very good singers and actors, and while they don't claim to be professionals, they bid fair to compare favorably with any company on the road today. The Program.

London.-Some interesting facts respecting the destructiveness of certain species of crabs in Grand Cayman, an island in the British West Indies, appear in a bulletin just issued from the Royal botanical gardens at Kew and written by T. M. S. English, who has lived there three years. The edible crab, he says, grows to a considerable size, an old male being sometimes six inches across and having its larger claw no less than fourteen inches in length from its junction with the body to the end of its "jaws." The female has smaller claws, but apparently it is more destructive. They are great burrowers and cannibals too. In places where they abound nothing is safe from them. They will take into their holes things for which they cannot conceivably find a use—a knife, for instance, or a pocket compass. They will eat the eggs from under a sitting hen, if not the hen herself, as readily as the leaves of seedling coconut trees, and of these from 6 to 10 per cent have to be replaced if they are planted in newly cleared ground before the crabs have been very thoroughly thinned out. They are responsible for frequent patches of bare soil in the "bush," which become covered with vegetation when the crabs are gone. HIDDEN MINES OF KNOWLEDGE Buried In the Tons. of Government Printed Matter. Washington.-Vast stores of educational material, of special value to teachers, lie hidden in government publications, says the federal bureau of education. Attention is called to the fact that tons and tons of reports, bulletins and miscellaneous documents are daily turned out by the government printing office containing valuable educational material, although not generally known by the public. Delving into these publications, experts of the bureau of education have discovered a wealth of teaching material hidden away, because the titles of many of these documents give no indication of their value for educational purposes. A bulletin has been prepared by the bureau as a guide to a small portion of this material, which has special significance for teachers or others interested in education. ```markdown ``` The Stag.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."—Luke 11:9. ESUS' usually prayed alone. On some occasions He spent the entire night in prayer to God. How inconsistent that would have been if He Himself were the Father, who for a time was with men and outwardly appeared as "the Man Christ Jesus"! But how consistent it is with His own declaration: "My Father is greater than I." Doubtless the disciples noted the Master's frequency in prayer and the blessings resulting therefrom. In time they requested instruction, saying, "Lord, teach us to pray." It is well that we inquire who may pray and for what, lest we pray without authority or pray amiss, as St. James declares some do. James 4:3. ```markdown ``` There is a difference between worship and prayer. Any one may offer homage to the Lord or express appreciation. But the privilege of making request is limited. or express appreciation. But the privilege of making requests' is limited. The Jews were privileged to pray, because they were in covenant relationship with God under the Law Covenant. But the Gentiles had no such privilege until the Jewish favor had ended—three and a half years after Jesus' crucifixion. While any one may worship, none are privileged to pray except Jesus' consecrated followers and their immature children. Everywhere Jesus' words, "Our Father," will be misinterpreted to signify "the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." The fact that consecrated disciples, not mankind in general, were instructed to pray "Our Father" will be ignored. Jesus Usually Prayed Alone. There is a general tendency to ignore personal faith in the redeeming blood—the fact that no man cometh unto the Father but by the Son. (John 14:6.) Adam was created a son of God, but his disobedience and death sentence cancelled the relationship, which can not be restored except in God's appointed way—through Christ. Prayer is a wonderful privilege. It is not for sinners, but for those justified by the Advocate whom the Father has appointed—Jesus. "After This Manner Pray Ye." "After This Manner Pray Ye." The model prayer which Jesus gave His disciples is grandly simple. It opens with a reverent acknowledgment of the greatness and sacredness of the Heavenly Father's name, or character. The petition, "Thy Kingdom come," is an acknowledgment of faith in God's promise that eventually His Kingdom will be established on earth, and an expression of the suppliant's heart sympathy with God and righteousness. "Thy will be done on earth, as it is done in Heaven," signifies full confidence that Satan will be bound; that the reign of Sin and Death will end; that the knowledge of God's glory will fill the earth and that all wilful opposers will be destroyed. The request for daily bread implies our realization that our sustenance, both temporal and spiritual, must come from God. The failure to specify the kind of food implies full resignation to Divine providence. When the justified pray, "Forgive us our trespasses," they do not refer to original sin; for they were freed from it in justification. Trespasses signify those unintentional imperfections which appertain to all and which Jesus' followers strive to overcome. The request that we shall have forgiveness as we are forgiving towards those who trespass against us is a reminder of the general terms of our relationship with God. We cannot grow in grace except as we cultivate the spirit of love—a forgiving, generous spirit in our dealing with others. "Abandon us not in temptation" indicates that we are aware that we are surrounded by the powers of evil, which we as New Creatures cannot withstand successfully without Divine aid. "Deliver us from the Evil One" is a recognition that Satan is our great Adversary; and that we are on the alert to resist him, yet realize our need of Divine assistance. "We are not ignorant of his [Satan's] devices"; "We wrestle not against flesh and blood [merely], but against wicked spirits in high positions." "Seek, Knock, Ask—and Receive." In the concluding verses of today's Study, Jesus admonishes that prayer be fervent—not merely formal words. He gave the illustration of the man who was finally moved by the earnest ness of his friend's petition. So we are not to think that our prayers are unheeded. Although we are not hastening the Kingdom by our prayers, yet we are entering a blessing of rest through faith in God's promises. A man sitting on a rock with a group of people around him. "Lord, Teach Us to Pray." What God really wishes to give His people is His Holy Spirit. Because of the imperfections of the flesh none of us can be filled with the Spirit at first. But we can come to God, desiring to be in His character likeness; and to our knocking the door will be opened. Nor should we fear. Our Father delights to give His Spirit to those who seek it. TO REORGANIZE INDIAN AFFAIRS Separate Department For Nation's Wards Urged. BILL BY ARKANSAS SENATOR Estimated That Indians Own Property Worth $1,000,000,000, Including Oil, Timber and Coal Lands—Duty of Proposed Department to Look After Rights—Red Men Losing Money. Washington. - Complete reorganization of Indian affairs, with the separation of the Indian bureau from the department of the interior, may be established by congress as a result of the failure to check the many abuses under which the Indians are suffering. Senator Robinson of Arkansas has already filed a bill to divorce the Indians from the interior department and to create what will be practically a department of Indian affairs. The Indians own property worth $1,000,000,000. Including 2,000,000 acres of producing oil lands, great timber and coal areas, and cattle worth upward J. Photograph copyright by Chickering. SENATOR ROBINSON. of $25,000,000. It is urged that the interior department is overburdened by its many activities and that the Indians will have a better chance for justice and fair treatment under a distinct department. The reorganized civil commission on Indian affairs will meet in Washington and will take up a number of important matters relating to Indian administration. The commission will check up on the abuses disclosed by the recent congressional investigations, and it is expected to go into the question of why the conditions disclosed in the White Earth and other reservations have not been remedied. This commission is a civilian body, acting without pay in an advisory capacity to the president and the interior department. DAMAGES FOR SNAKE BITE. "Industrial Hazard" Defined by Commission In Washington. Olympia. Wash. — Rattlesnakes infesting the country where road work is being done constitute an "industrial hazard," and a workman bitten by a snake is entitled to compensation from the state industrial insurance fund, according to a ruling contained in the report of the state industrial insurance commission. The commission granted a claim for injury benefit. Other peculiar incidents are recorded in the report. A boy shot a workman in the eye with an air gun. The commission accepted the gun as an industrial hazard, and the claim for injury was paid. A brutal boss does not constitute a hazard within the meaning of the law as interpreted by the commission, however, and a man who was whipped by his employer was denied compensation. GIVES BABE, GETS CHICKENS. Wife, Abandoned and Destitute, Finds Home For Infant. Kansas City.—How a mother traded a year-old baby girl for six bens and a rooster because she had been deserted by her husband and could not support it has come to light through the death of Mrs. Millie Karnes after being burned at her home here. Seven months ago, according to a story told the juvenile court officers, Mrs. Karnes took the baby to a Kansas City woman and asked that she care for it. When she left the child she received the poultry. The court officers believe the baby has a good home and will leave it with the foster parents. Struck by Snowball. Loses Voice.

IRON PRODUCTION BREAKS RECORD Output of Mines Greater Than In Big Year 1910. EIGHT PER CENT INCREASE. Estimated That Sixty Million Long Tons Were Produced In Past Twelve Months—Leading Mines Show Great Increases—The Type of Ore That Was Mined. New York.—The quantity of iron ore mined in the United States in 1913 is estimated to have been between 84,000,000 and 60,000,000 long tons. This estimate is based on preliminary reports from twenty-five of the largest iron producing districts, whose combined output is about 81 per cent of the total iron ore mined in 1912. The average increase in output shown by these twenty-five companies was 8 per cent over that for 1912, and if this increase should be maintained by all the iron companies in the United States the total output of iron ore for 1913 should reach 59,500,000 long tons. At any rate, it appears almost certain that the former high record of iron ore mined, 57,014,006 long tons, in 1910, was surpassed in 1913. In the Lake Superior district, where about 85 per cent of the domestic iron ore is mined, the increase in production corresponded closely with that for the United States in general, or about 8 per cent, thus indicating a total production for that district of about 50.000,000 long tons compared with 40.363,878 tons in 1012. The year 1913 is therefore a record year for production and shipments in this district also. The preliminary figures indicate that the shipments of Lake Superior ore by water will exceed 49,000,000 long tons, which, together with the all rail shipments of more than 800,000 tons, bring the figures for total shipments of lake ore very close to the tonnage of ore mined and indicate that not much change has occurred in the stocks of ore at the mines in the lake district. These stocks amounted at the close of 1012 to about 9,500,000 long tons of ore. In the Birmingham (Ala.) district the production of iron ore in 1913, as indicated by the preliminary returns, was about 10 per cent greater than that for 1912. In Tennessee there was apparently a slight decrease and in North Carolina a slight increase. New Jersey and New York both showed slight increases, while Pennsylvania showed a slight decrease. In the Rocky mountain district of Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico there was a slight decrease. The types of iron ore produced commercially consist of red and specular hematite, brown ore, magnetite and siderite or spathic ore. Hematite constitutes about 90 per cent of the output. Only a very small fraction of 1 per cent of the output is siderite, the production of brown ore and magnetite together constituting nearly 10 per cent of the total. TO PLUG INSANITY LOOPHOLE. Would Let Jury Pass on Madness Given as Crime Defense. New York. After twelve months consideration of the subject of insanity as a defense to a criminal charge the committee on the law of insanity has made its report to the Society of Medical Jurisprudence. The committee found that, while criticism of the present method of procedure was general, no one was ready to offer suggestions for its improvement. Its conclusion is that the section of the penal code which defines that degree of insanity which excuses crime should be stricken, from the statute PURHAM, N.

Worthington Can't Kill Game Now Except in Open Season. Washington, N. J.-More than 300 large gray deer were turned loose in the 6,000 acres of mountainous land comprising Buckwood park, owned by Henry Worthington, the pump manufacturer. Mr. Worthington owns all the land from Dunfield through the Delaware Water Gap to the Jersey side. As a result of having turned the deer loose Mr. Worthington cannot sell or kill them except in open season, which is the first five days in November. Boll Weevil Caused $500,000,000 Loss. Washington.-Figures announced by W. J. Harris, director of the census, show that the boll weevil has caused a loss in the production of cotton in the United States in excess of 10,000.000 bales, valued at least at $500,000.000. The reduction in the production of cotton due to the fact that farmers refrained from planting because of the fear that the weevil would not permit the plant to mature, he said, never can be estimated. TOO HONEST FOR CONGRESS. Ohio Representative Declares He Won't Run Again. Canton, Q.-In announcing that he would not be a candidate for re-election Representative J. J Whitacre, Democrat, of the Eighteenth Ohio district, declared that "no man who wants to be intellectually honest has any business in congress. "All I've done since I've been down in Washington," Mr. Whitacre went on, "has been to sit around and try to look wise, and that's what any man has to do who isn't willing to barter his convictions for political expediency. "I can't stand that sort of business. I thought there might be a chance for an honest, wide awake, frank and open business man in congress, but I was quickly disillusioned." The Milk In the Cocosurt. South Africa natives along the Orange river have a way of producing "milk," which, primitive as it is, vies in ingenuity with the method of those who believe in the synthetic production of what the journalist, hardup for a synonym, has been known to call "the lacteal fluid." After cutting the top from a cocoanut, the native places the nut over hot ashes, so that the warmth may cause the fat and "butter" contained in the husk to be absorbed by the milk. This changes the milk's quality and gives it a palatable taste. In order to deal with several nuts at a time the natives construct rough "holders" from old iron hoops. The ashes are placed under the grating and the nuts set in it. Obviously there must be no actual fire beneath the nuts or they would be burned away and the milk be lost—Argonaut.

Boise, Ida. - Lashing a 100 pound sturgeon to a raft when he found it too heavy to carry and forcing the big member of the funny tribe to haul him into camp, where later the sturgeon was served up to a crew of hungry men, is the latest fish story that has reached Boise. It was brought to this city by Frank Maxwell, an engineer of the forest service with headquarters in Boise. A large crew of men is stationed at the Ox Bow tunnel on the Snake river between Idaho and Oregon. A rancher named McPherson notified the foreman in charge of the camp that if he would send some of his men up lie would give him a fish. Thinking that one man could manage a single fish without trouble, the foreman sent one of his Austrian laborers after it. When he arrived at the McPherson ranch, however, the Austrian found the sturgeon. As the fish was still alive the Austrian built a raft from logs, leaving an opening in the middle for the fish to swim, and then lashed the sturgeon securely to the raft. Pushing the craft from the shore, he allowed the fish to propel him into camp, several miles below. A fish menu was served at the camp that night. $797,948,900 FOR NAVIES. Seven Powers Spent This Last Year on Building Battleships. Washington.—Just $797,948,900 was expended last year in warship construction by the seven naval powers of the world, the United States standing second in the list with appropriations of $140,800,643. Great Britain spent $235,713,489, while Germany was not far behind the United States, with an expenditure of $111,270,025. Japan took last place, having spent only $48,105,151. These facts appeared in the navy year book for 1913, issued as a public document by the senate naval committee. Great Britain held her place as the first naval power with 2,591,291 tonnage, allowing for the completion of the vessels now built or building. Germany ranks second with a tonnage of 1,228,206; the United States is third with 921,544 tons; France fourth, with 876,155 and Japan fifth with 702,009. ENDS STRIPED GARE IN NEW YORK PRISON Woman Commissioner Also Wants Longer Sentences. New York.—Commissioner Katherine B. Davis of the department of correction announced that she would abolish the striped uniforms for both men and women prisoners. 'The announcement followed a three hours' inspection of the city prison on Blackwell's island. "I am not a bit fussy about my own clothes," she said. "but I cannot help 1 think how like a flock of zebras these men and women look running about. I don't believe you can encourage much self respect in a man or woman who is put into one of these ugly uniforms." Dr. Davis said she would substitute the striped uniform for men with a gray cloth suit. Ginghams of different hues will replace the women's uniforms. Miss Davis believes the commitment system of the courts can be improved. "Sentences should be longer," said Dr. Davis. "The present sentence is frequently so short it does not act as a corrective." WATCHES APPENDIX CUT OUT Jackson (Miss.) Patient Refuses Anaesthetic For Operation. Jackson, Miss.-Warren Pullen, a prominent business man of Jackson, was operated on here for appendicitis. He refused to take an anaesthetic while the surgeons removed his appendix and stood the ordeal well. Mr. Pullen's nerve during the operation was remarkable, and he watched the work of the surgeons with much interest. FIGHT TO CONTROL RADIUM OUTPUT Two Bills Introduced In Congress Dealing With Question. LANE'S PLAN A POPULAR ONE Colorado Congressman Opposes Operation of Mines by Government—Lane to Submit Data Prepared by Bureau of Mines to House Public Lands Committee—Result of Experiments. Washington.—Forces for and against Secretary Lane's project for the segregation of radium bearing lands have begun to line up. Two bills treating with the radium question were introduced in congress. Representative Foster of Illinois handed in a bill instructing the secretary of the interior to furnish information to congress as to what lands should be withdrawn. He also believes in appropriating money for surveys with a view to the possible development of radium lands by the government. Representative Ferris of Oklahoma introduced a similar bill. He desires that vanadium and uranium deposits in Alaska be withdrawn. Representative Taylor of Colorado said: "If Secretary Lane and the federal government will let the west alone in connection with radium the miners will find all the radium there is and will produce it. If they do not let us alone they will stop the production of radium, make it scarce and shoot the price up to the skies. "Mr. Lane's object is commendable. He wants to give radium to the human family and particularly to the Ameri- J. Photo © by American Press Association. SECRETARY LANE can public in as large quantities and as promptly as possible, to be used in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. He has taken the wrong course. If he lets things stand as they are there will be between 1,500 and 2,000 prospectors looking for radium in the west within the next ninety days. When a demand for a mineral is established it will be supplied by miners and prospectors if it can be found. The withdrawal of radium lands will destroy private enterprise." Secretary Lane decided to appear before the house public lands committee when it meets to consider the radium bills. He has extensive data prepared by the bureau of mines special laboratory in Denver. Mr. Lane has had conferences with Dr. Howard A. Kelly of Johns Hopkins and is acting on his advice to some extent. The secretary will present to the committee the results of two years' experimental work by Dr. Kithal and Dr. Moore, who, working for the government, have discovered and perfected a new and simple method of extracting radium from uranium, which is found in the carnotite fields of Colorado. PRISON·TO HAVE STADIUM. Colorado's 'Convicts to Play Baseball and Football. Denver.-The Colorado state penitentiary at Canon City is to have a great amphitheater. Warden Thomas J. Tynan ordered the purchase of the fair ground buildings near the city and will use the number for the stadium, which will be constructed inside the walls of the penitentiary. There will be a grand stand for spectators, principal among whom, of course, will be the convicts. Warden Tynan said that he believed Colorado to be the first state to authorize such a building for the entertainment of its felons. He expects the amphitheater to be completed by spring. There is abundant room within the prison walls for all outdoor sports, including baseball and football. Kidney Disease Due to Fear: Boston.-Fear or anger may turn so much sugar into a man's blood as to give him fatal kidney trouble, said Walter B. Cannon, professor of physiology at Harvard, in a lecture at the Harvard medical school Many great disasters, Professor Cannon declared, were followed by outbreaks of kidney disease among survivors. FLOWERS For FUNERALS 916 F, 722 9th and Center Market THE NEGRO FARMER Something New: Something Needed A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T.

WEST IS BEST FOR LAWYERS. Harvard Law School Secretary Says Beginners Make More There. Cambridge, Mass. - The fees of a lawyer during his first year of practice average only $601; his earnings after ten years amount to an average of $5,000, according to a compilation of the incomes of recent graduates of the Harvard Law school announced by Richard Ames, secretary of the school. Earnings of young lawyers west of the Mississippi were found to be considerably greater than those of graduates locating in the east. Average earnings of these graduates in New England were found to be less than in any other section. Million Dollar Jackson Monument. Nashville.

RO FARMER INSTITUTE, ALA. settlements of that war must stand as the irreversible judgment of battle and the inflexible decree of a nation of free men. They must not be misinterpreted, they must not be nullified, they must not be weakened or shorn of their force under any pretext whatever, but must be acquiesced in freely in every part of the republic, without reservation or voidance or evasion. It must not be equality and justice in the written law only. It must be equality and justice in the law's administration everywhere, and alike administered in every part of the republic to every citizen thereof. It must not be the more cold formality of constitutional enactment. It must be a living birthright, which the poorest and humblest may enjoy, and which the richest and most powerful dare not deny. Our black allies must neither be deserted or forsaken. And every right secured them by the constitution must be surely given to them, as if God had put upon their faces the color of the Anglo-Saxon race. They fought for the flag in the war, and that flag, with all it represents and stands for, must secure them every constitutional right in peace. At Baton Rouge the first regiment of the Black brigade, before starting for Port Hudson, received at the hands of its white colonel—Colonel Stafford—its regimental colors in a speech from the colonel, which ended with this injunction: "Color bearer, guard, defend, protect, die for, but do not surrender these colors." To which the sergeant replied, and he was as black as my coat: "Colonel, I'll return those flags to you in honor, or I'll report to God the reason why."

NOSE WORTH $1,760. St. Louis Girl Wins Suit Against a "Beauty Specialist." St. Louis.—A tiny photograph, smaller than a postage stamp, was the evidence upon which a jury in Circuit Judge Fisher's court based a verdict awarding Miss Edna Schonlaub, twenty years old, a judgment for $1,750 against Dr. James Taylor Pinkstaff, a "beauty specialist." Miss Schonlaub sued for $10,000 damages on the ground of having been disfigured by an operation on her nose. The picture was introduced to show how she looked before the operation and how her beauty had been marred. Her petition alleged Dr. Pinkstaff agreed to correct a deformity in her nose for $35 and that in treating her he injected an excessive quantity of paraffin, causing the nose to swell and her eyeballs to become irritated. This, she alleged, permanently disfigured her. FINDS "DEAD" WIFE ALIVE. Man Identifies Aphasia Victim—Seqs Plot In Illness. Newark, N. J.—Harold Garrison of Irvington, N. J., visited the City hospital and identified the young woman who was brought to the institution apparently an aphasia victim as his wife, Florence Garrison, twenty-four years old. Garrison said that he had been separated from his wife for two years. He heard that she was in an institution in Rhode Island and thought she was dead. He visited her sister in Brooklyn and learned otherwise. Garrison says he believes she was brought here and abandoned by her relatives. The woman was found at noon near Center market. She carried a card on which was written: "Please send this woman to the city dispensary. She can't talk." WITH BLANK MIND HE MYSTIFIES A COLLEGE Man Can Only Remember Three Events In His Life. Fullman, Wash.—The most remarkable case of lost identity ever brought to the attention of the instructors in psychology at the State college is that of a man about thirty-five years old, intelligent and of studious inclinations, who enrolled in the department of civil engineering at the beginning of the college year. He gives the name of William Summerville, but the college authorities have no proof that that is his true name. Every recollection of his past life is blotted from his memory with the exception of three items. Summerville says that he remembers clearly that his parents were drowned in the Galveston flood. Besides this, he has a faint remembrance of seeing Maude Adams, the actress, and of being a member of a surveying crew in central Washington some months ago. An examination of Summerville by the college professors in psychology shows that he has an acquaintance of surveying instruments, but that he is deficient in a knowledge of mathematics essential to the practical surveyor. He has proved an industrious student and spends much spare time in the college library reading works on history and science. He seems familiar with textbooks on botany and trigonometry. Summerville is tall and well built and speaks with a southern accent. He is paying his expenses at the college by day labor on the new college building. HAM BACK AFTER 54 YEARS. Civil War Soldier Repays Man Who Assuaged His Hunger. Rahway, N. J.-Thompson Thorne was surprised to find a bag of potatoes at his back door. In turning the bag over to look for an address he discovered a fifteen pound ham. Under the ham was a note which read: "This is returned to you in honor of the fifty-fourth anniversary since you gave a ham and potatoes to an old hungry soldier at Valley Springs, Vn., during the late rebellion." Mr. Thorne in talking of the affair said he was the commissary sergeant at Valley Springs. He recalls the circumstances, but never knew who received the bag of potatoes and the ham. The potatoes and ham had been purchased at a local grocery by a stranger, who refused to give his name or address to the merchant. FARMERS' WIVES BLAMED. High Prices of Eggs Laid to Poor Methods of Handling. Atlantic City, N. J. In discussing at their annual convention here the high prices of eggs members of the American Warehousemen's association placed some of the blame at the door of farmers' wives, who mostly have charge of the poultry. It was declared that many wives of the farmers do not know the proper method of handling eggs and do not realize the necessity of promptly gathering and shipping them. According to reports made by representatives of forty-five of the largest warehouses in the country, there was a shortage of 340,000,000 eggs on the 1st of December. MORE DATA TO AID RATE RULING New Information Sought Includes Revenues Derived From Transportation of Different Commodities and Interlocking Boards and Contracts—Seventy-nine Questions Submitted. Washington.—Railroads of the United States seeking authority to increase their freight rates on an average of 3 per cent are requested in an order issued by the interstate commerce commission to submit detailed information concerning their financial operations. An inquiry into the rate case was begun several weeks ago, and the railroads told their side. The shippers who are fighting the proposed increase are yet to be heard. The commission has gone over the evidence submitted by the railroads and has asked for supplemental data. The commission's order issued does not foreshadow delay in the promulgation of a decision in the application for authority to increase railroad freight rates. It indicates that the commission does not intend to decide the case merely on the ex parte statements of railroad managers. The new information sought by the commission covers these questions; Revenues derived from the transportation of different commodities and the practice of the railroads in granting to shippers special service or allowance in connection with transportation service. Economy in methods of purchasing equipment, materials and supplies, their uses and practices in connection with various transportation operations. Financial history and transactions of carriers. Conflicting interests, particularly the financial interests of directors, officers and employees in the business transactions to which the carriers are also parties. Contracts made between the carriers and sleeping car and parlor car companies and the results of such contracts. Also general information not embraced in circulars heretofore issued by the commission. Seventy-nine questions bearing on rates are submitted to the railroads. The answers must be made before Jan. 31. "Elaborate and helpful contributions from the carriers' accounts have been submitted by the railroads with a view to diminishing net returns from operations and lessened net income," said the commission in an announcement explaining its inquiry. "These statements do not furnish fully the data deemed by the commission to be necessary to determine the general course to be pursued. The carriers are therefore further ordered and directed to furnish the commission at the earliest date possible the information called for and to verify such information under the oath of the officer under whose direction and supervision the returns are made." The commission explains some of the various groups of questions that are asked carriers as follows: "Questions regarding revenues and the conservation thereof are designed to secure data concerning the possibility of increasing revenues otherwise than through a general increase of freight rates. The questions relate in part to the terminal allowances made by railroads, particularly to the larger industries, and to the free service, the legality or propriety of which has been from time to time questioned. These services and allowances include allowances to terminal railways owned by industries, free switching, lighterage, loading and unloading freight, free warehousing, reconsignment, especially favorable rates and special train service, billing in transit privileges. "Questions relative to economy are designed to secure data concerning the possibility of increasing the net revenues through economies in operations. These include possible savings in the purchase of materials and supplies through standardization and otherwise; also possible savings in the use of materials and supplies and particularly in the consumption of coal. "There are also questions designed to secure further information as to the causes of increased operating costs and means of avoiding them. Certain of the questions are designed to secure data with a view of determining to what extent and under what circumstances the increase in the size and weight of equipment results in economy and greater net operating income." TUNNEL 150 FEET TO ROB. Bank Thieves Pierce Concrete Walls and Get $3,700. San Francisco.—Cracksmen tunneled 150 feet and pierced the concrete walls of the First National Bank of Oroville vault. They obtained $3,700 in silver, but were unable to blow open a steel safe in which was a much larger amount of gold and currency. The base from which the robbers worked was the cellar of a building occupied only when lodge meetings were held at night. GHRISTIAN XANDER Apricot Wine = 50c qt. 25c pint 90g. 7th St. In the third century there was an emperor of Japan who, mounting to the summit of a hill during a period of hard times and poor crops, observed that no smoke was rising from the clustered cottages in the valleys below him. The villagers could not afford food; besides, most of them had no food to cook. He surveyed the some thoughtfully and, descending, gave orders to remit all taxes for a period of three years. Before the time was over his palace fell into decay and parts of it into ruin; the rain came through the roof, and more than once he was desmached as he slept. But he made no complaint. At the end of three years he climbed the hill once more. Everywhere, from more numerous cottages, blue spirals drifted upward to the sky. He smiled as he descended, and the taxes were restored. But it was not with tax money that the palace was repaired, since the grateful people raised the needed sum as a thank offering.—Youth's Companion. The Supercritic Provoist Hawkins of Oriel college, Oxford, declares the Right Hon. W. G. M. Russell in "Edward King, Sixteenth Bishop of Lincoln," was never happy unless he could find some fault to criticise in the undergraduates who came before him. Among other things, the record of chapel attendance was always on his table and referred to for praise or blame. One day when King, who was an Oriel man and who seemed to have been a happy combination of George Herbert and Saint Francis de Sales, was before him the provost consulted the record. "I observe, Mr. King," said he, "that you have never missed a single chapel, morning or evening, during the whole term." He passed, but instead of a word of praise, which might reasonably have been expected, he continued severely: "I must warn you, Mr. King, that even too regular attendance at chapel may degenerate into formalism." TO POLE BY AEROPLANE. Shackleton Will Have Sledges Drawn by Airship. London.—The keenest interest is felt in the news that Sir Ernest H. Shackleton, who already has written his name indelibly on the antarctic roll of fame, is about to lead another British expedition to the south pole. The main object of the expedition will be to cross the antarctic continent from sea to sea, making the south pole the halfway house on the great journey and thus at one stroke recover for Britain the prestige and place in polar exploration that were here till four years ago. This will be the biggest polar journey yet attempted and will open up in the Weddell quadrant a vast unexplored region which is still blank on the map. It is notable that no attempt to reach the south pole has yet been made from Weddell sea, the-point of departure for the new expedition, all other journeys having been made from Ross sea, on the other side.
