IF ITS NEWS, ITS IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 41 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1915 ISAAC H.NUTTER,ESQ. SURPACSES ALL RECORDS IN THE ANNALS OF CRIMINAL DEFENSE A GREAT LAWYER. Commended by the Press In a Great Murder Case.—One of the Foremost Lawyers of the New Jersey Bar. Atlantic City, N. J., March 1, 1915. Already enjoying an enviable reputation as one of the foremost criminal lawyers of the New Jersey bar, Lawyer Isaac II. Nutter, of the Atlantic City bar, far eclipsed all records held in this state, if not indeed that of any other state when he tried three murder cases in succession the past week and secured the acquittal of two of the defendants and a sentence of one year for the third. The fact that Mr. Nutter was successful in securing the acquittal of his clients did not cause so much surprise in Atlantic City where he stands high at the bar as did the fact that he was able to undergo the strain and hardships that were forced upon him as a result of having to go to trial in all three cases in one week. For since he has been practicing in this city, and while associated with Ex-Judge Crandall, one of the foremost members of th bar here, that firm defended and acquitted more cases in the criminal courts and successfully defended more murder cases than any other firm here. The most noted of the many cases, perhaps, were the famous Lockhart case and the Peck case. Perhaps the hardest thing to overcome in two of the cases, the Nettle Salines case, accused of poisoning her husband, and the Frank Beaman case, in which he was accused of murdering one Hunt, a tailor of this city, was the fact that both defendants had made confessions to the detective department of this city, acknowledging the crime. In the case of Edward Henson, he was identified by Schmoll, a white man, whom he was alleged to have shot. Having figured more or less in murder cases for the past five years, he M. The Greatset Criminal Lawyer in the State to New Jersey. His Recent Victories in Three Murder Cases Have Startled the Bar of New Jersey. First Mr. Nutter refused to take either case, but when he was convinced that public sentiment demanded it of him he finally gave in and began his preparations. In the Salines case, in which the defendant was accused of poisoning her husband, Mr. Nutter was assisted by ex-Judge Robert Ingersoll, Dr. Fieh and our own Dr. P. J. Hawkins, who has generally figured with Lawyer Nutter in his cases as an expert in matters touching upon insanity and Toxicology, and as such was pitted against the famous Prof. Marshall of the University of Pennsylvania, Drs. Cotton and Berner, famous allenists, Drs. Leonard, Bew and Carrington, of this city, District Attorney Charles S. Moore, Assistant District Attorney Brown and the City and County Detective Departments. Notwithstanding the wonderful and what would seem convincing report given in testimony by Dr. Marshall as the result of his, Reinsch's Marsh's and the ammonia tests, of the stomach, liver and kidneys of the deceased, and the examination by the jury of the deposits of octahedral crystals of arsenous oxide, containing 1.447 grains, and the fact of the three written confessions of the defendant before the detective department, and even when members of the bar expressed their belief that this would prove the first case of the resourceful Colored lawyer to be given a first degree sentence, Nutter, with jaws set and head down and that determination for which he is noted, went into his case with a stronger de- termination to win. This can be better appreciated by a review of his cross-examination of Prof. Marshall when he brought out the fact that the examination of the essential parts of the deceased internal organ had been only partial, that he had been embalmed before any tests were made, that the ends of the stomach had not been tied and that the whole matter of the tests had been done in a most irregular manner. The fact that he failed to find any degeneration of the liver and pancreas showing the administration of arsenic before death proved the turning point in the case, where it was brought out by Mr. Nutter that the parts examined had been in the custody of one of the detectives with other persons than himself having keys to the closet in which they were kept. This with, other facts which showed that the woman made the alleged confession after subjected to all the horrors of the Third Degree and for which reason Justice Black refused to admit it in evidence soon clinched the case for the defense, and after the summing up, which has been termed one of the most brilliant ever heard in historic Mays Landing Court House, the jury was out only fifteen minutes returning with a verdict of "Not Guilty." Immediately upon the retiring of the jury in the Salinnes case the State moved the case of State vs. Edward Henson, and once more Mr. Nutter was found, this time associated with him lawyer of Cameron Hinkle, of the Atlantic City bar, fighting for the life of the second person accused of murder within one week. Henson had been accused of killing one Schmoll, a brewery wagon driver who had delivered beer to the house of the young lady with whom Henson keeps company. In this case the state had used all of its resources and prided itself upon the system and the evidence it intended to wrap around the accused. Mr. Nutter's greatest fight in this case was made upon the introduction of the deeing declaration of the murdered man, in which he contended that the declaration was not made by Schmol at a time when he was under applause of death and with his client Attorney Hinckle ably suping him, the objection was sustained, and thus began the collapse of the State's craftily prepared web of evidence. Nothing introduced by the state was more sensational than the testimony of one Albert Paltestified that he loses which the surprise was furnished by cutter when he made the witness face one Andrew Terry, Al. Stafford, Patrolman Lenoir and Captain of Detectives Whalen, before whom he had accused two other men of committing the crime, which was before he accused Henson or admitted that he had loaned the gun to Henson. Henson by competent witnesses and many of his associates, with whom he had spent the evening, proved a most convincing alibi and three minutes after the defense had summed up and the state had concluded its argument the jury returned with a verdict of "Not Gulty," as the second victory for the indefatigable attorney. What was considered as the most complete victory of the week in the three murder trials was the interruption in the middle of the Henson case when Mr. Nutter and Lawyer W. I. Garrison, who was associated with him, asked Justice Black for the privilege of Frank Beaman changing his plea of "Not Guilty" to murder, to "Guilty" of manslaughter. This was allowed, and Beaman who shot one Hunt in his taller shop when he found Hunt beating his sister was given one year in the State Prison. With this victory in the face of the fact that nothing short of the electric chair was predicted for Beaman, Mr. Nutter finished the greatest week in the annals of the criminal cases of Atlantic County or any county of the state of New Jersey or any other state. In all three cases Mr. Nutter had associated with his different lawyers, all of whom speak in the highest terms of the ability of attorney Nutter and the wonderful preparation of the cases. This was best seen in the earnest work and willingness and untiring effort and assistance with him as the personal counsel of the accused. The preparation of the case and evidence was all in the hands of colored detectives under William and Thomas of this City, the details of which were reported to attorney J. A. Lightfoot, Mr. Nutter's colleague and associate, who had complete charge of the office force and the preparing and compiling of evidence and citations used in the cases, at which he is recognized us a past master and one of the authorities of the Atlantic County Bar. Mr. Nutter enjoys a distinction unequalled by any lawyer in the state and has been said by few, if any in the country, in these three victories in one week, and at the conclusion of the trial Justice Black, of the Supreme Court and Judge Shinn, of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, called him to the bar and publicly commended him upon his ability and the arguments made in the cases tried before them.

In addition to this, the National Negro Business Service will undertake to present the cause of the Negro Press intelligently, effectively and persistently to national advertisers who spend millions each year for advertising and who overlook the power of the Negro papers to reach and direct the millions spent annually by the race for necessities, because it has not been brought to their attention.

Lee, associate district deputy, introduced Mrs. Bessie D. Anderson, state deputy, who responded to the address of welcome. Mrs. Anderson made a fine presentation of the Order, showing its growth, its motto, and how it is serving the needs of our people. Her appeal for new members was responded to by several applicants and the assurance that in the near future a Berean Council would be organized. Dr. D. F. Rivers, pastor of the church, was next introduced. He delivered a very instructive and effective sermon from the subject, "The Fourold Auspices for Good," Dr. Rivers represents the highest type as a minister of the Gospel. He believes in the higher ideals of Christianity. His sermon was full of thought along fraernal lines, and showed that the need of organizations among our people short and very interesting talks were made by Mrs. Julia M. Layton and Mr. Leon S.

A collation was served after the close of the meeting. The C. E. Society of 19th Street Baptist Church had a very interesting meeting on Tuesday evening, March 2, 1915. Dr. F. D. Whitby, the first speaker, spoke of the injurious qualities of alcohol, as known to the physician. Dr. Whitby is an eloquent speaker, and he took the moral side, also giving statistical facts. He commended Dr. Whitby highly for his stand against intemperance, saying that few physicians are brave enough to make the stand; and having found one, the race should uphold him in his stand. Dr. Whitby will speak next Sunday morning at the W. C. T. U., at the 15th Presbyterian Church, next Sunday evening, at 6 p. m. Come and give him a cordial welcome. A reception was tendered Mr. Clifton Hamilton in honor of his eighteenth birthday by his aunt, Mrs. Jennie Harris, at her residence, 48 I St. northeast. Mrs. Martha Montgomery chaperoned the party. DR. PIERRE SURPRISED Dr. S. M. Pierre was given a surprise at his home in Virginia last Tuesday night. Several of his friends from the city left the city at eight and arrived at his home in Arlington. Virginia, about nine o'clock. One of the company went to the house first and asked admittance. Dr. Pierre had gone to bed. He was told that a friend near by was seriously ill and he must come down. After much persuasion the intruder was admitted. He greeted the doctor very pleasantly and told him that he was ill. Dr. Pierre informed the intruder that he could not prescribe for him, thereupon he was seized, while about ten other of his friends, unknown to him, rushed in and tied him to a chair while two others pulled out a table in the dining room and set it. All of this time Mrs. Lee and her son, Harry, were told not to come down stairs at the cost of their lives. After having kept the physician tied and blindfolded for about thirty minutes, he was permitted, after he had repeated the Lord's Prayer, to enjoy the repast that had been so carefully prepared and presented with a large box of Perfectos. Dr. Pierre admitted that it was the first time in his life that he has ever been frightened. The joke could have been a huge one had Rev. Richardson and Mr. Samuel Harris not allowed their cestacy to burst out at the time Dr. Pierre was made to repeat the Lord's Prayer, which he had forgotten. However, the boys compelled him to say what he did know. ARTISTIC DRESSMAKER. An Up-to-date Artist—Call and See Her Mrs. M. L.

Carmonche Takes Exception.—A Colored Catholic Disagrees With The Bee. Detroit, Milch, March 1, 1915. Editor The Bee: Not only that the truth is very offensive, but, "An open confession at times is good for the soul." This is my candid opinion concerning a wrong on the part of the church of my faith. Since so much is being said concerning the good (?) and favorable (?) attitude of the great Catholic Church towards the persons of color in this country, and since I am not a hypocrit and hate hyporisy worse than "the devil hates holy water." and since we "Colored" (?) Catholics of Detroit find ourselves confronted with a situation which I know is detrimental to the church from a Christian and a religious point of view, which all well-informed and non-prejudiced Catholics know is not in keeping with the broad principles of the church. Will the Editor of The Bee permit me to further express through its columns, this very much, from a Catholic point of view, unpleasant thing concerning the new (?) attitude of the church towards the persons of color; not in Louisiana or the South, where you can, and must expect to find anything at any time unjust towards our race, but right here in Detroit, Michigan, where a person of color would suppose to find in its broadest sense of the words, "The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man," at least in the Catholic Church, fully meant and applied. To my surprise, that thing we call prejudice, denied my church an envious distinction. Not only in my opinion but in the opinion of others. Mr. Editor, I am aware of the separation or drawing the color line in Baltimore, in Washingto can the great Catholic Church, with all of its Catholicism, and that means a whole lot, think for one moment that such separations are right and that it too has not fallen from its enmilent loftiness as an expounder of Christ-like Christianity? Is our prejudices greater than our church? Now my white brothers and sisters, those of you who will have read this article, hold your temper; do not conclude, as is generally the case when some Colored person expresses a candid opinion concerning the serious things of life, that, "that darky" (?) or "nigger" (?) is looking for social equality among the whites for his race. I am not doing any such a thing, and as a Catholic, you know that I am not. I am as peculiar and as sensitive about this social equality question as any sensitive white person, therefore, I will not say any more about that, excepting to say, as a Catholic, or in any other way, I have never given, outside of my own race, this social question any consideration. The broad principles of this great church, as they were instilled into me from infancy, is what I am trying to say to those interested, trying to show that, by drawing this separation, or color line, they have undermined one of the best principles of the Catholic church. To be truthful about it, it is bad enough indeed South, that it tolerates and maintains a "Jim Crow," a thing that should not be tolerated for one moment, and if such a man as Rev. Father Coppense, who is now dead, was at the head, would be. Why should it be necessary for a separate church in Detroit or in any other community, for that matter, when we all know that it is only a hypocrit who would admit the justice of it? Since this new movement in Detroit I must admit I feel at times ashamed to admit that I and my family are Catholics, and I sprung from a Colored family of Catholics who were Catholics for at least two hundred years in this country. By that you can readily see how this drawing of the color line has undermined one of the principles of the church. I have three girls and seven nephews and nieces whom I do not hesitate to tell the opinion I entertain towards our church who is now trying to make "Negro" (?) Catholics, or Catholic "Negroes" of them, is what I am trying to tell, to impress on the great Catholic church that it cannot afford to try to make a class of "Negro" Catholics or Catholic Negroes in the United States. On the surface it might appear all good to those who inaugurated it, but to any one of them who will have read this article they will readily see how they have undermined something which could be of the greatest benefit to Christianity in the United States, that is, for the Catholic church to have stood aloft from the segregation, separation or "Jim Crow" policy. Catholic persons of color from time to time, even in my time, entertained the opinion that the great Catholic Continued page 4. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I arose to remark last week that this sunburnt race of ours is mightily concerned about the eats, and that's what makes us put up with so many discriminations. We are all the time figuring about feeding our face so that our stomachs will become a la Dancy quite pertudinous. When I gazed over that list of patriots what had filed their applications with Woody for Recorder of Deeds, I naturally felt that I was right when I arose to mark that we sure have our minds on the eats. In that list were some patriots who could come as near holding down the job as Tom Clark could make his homily on "how to conduct the World War," worth $500-000 per hour to the Allies. The only man whose name was mentioned who could prove an alibi was Judge Hewlett. The Judge had the nerve to withdraw his name and papers just as soon as Woody evolved his segregation scheme. I have not yet seen no meseenger boy bringing me a night telegram saying that Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Richard Achillies Horner, Albert Cosey, Oklahoma Patterson, Alex Ross, or any others of the bunch had took their pen in hand and wrote Woody they didn't want it, wouldn't have it, and he couldn't force it on 'em. Bless me if that list of faiths who indorse segregation by applying for a job under Prexy Wilson wasn't a bazzarie bunch then you can count me as a life long supporter of Little Lord Fauntleroy and his policies. Woody believed his segregation policy was approved by the black gentry cause so many of them were anxious to serve under him, segregation or no segregation. Gentlemanly Bob inferentially approved segregation when he tramped the grass down around Capitol Hill trying for reappointment. You ain't heard of him applying for speaking engagements to denounce segregation have you? Well, I guess not. My friend and fellow-citizen Jeems Cobb has been reading up on the signs of the zodiac to figure out how he could hang on to that $2,000 per job of his, and according to my recollections I ain't heard of him writing articles or filling speaking engagements to denounce segregation. Woody has got some of us gaged just about right. He knows when it comes to acceptin' segregation with the eats, or poverty with manhood, some of us will take the eats and segregation every time. Just look at that list of honefults that took their pen in hand and wrote Woody to make them Recorder of Deeds and you got the proof of what I say. Yessir, its the eats that bother us. I remember some weeks ago I was down to George Murray's palace drug store—put the emphasis on "palace," and George and I got to discuss' manhood. "Look here," said philosophical George, "don't you know manhood is in the past tense with most of this oxidized race. You just can get 'em to put manhood in the present of future tense." It kinder jollied me toorge get out there so far in grammar, discuss' tense, so I said: 'George don't you reason that these fellows what worked like the devil for reappointment, or hustled among the white attorneys for help to say, after Woody had announced his approval of segregation, had manhood?" "Hist," said George, "the blind man shot the cow. Listen to me, most of these guys we've had fillin' of offices are as seasonable as snow in the summer." "Say George." I interrupted, "when did you get so honey-combed with philosophical sayings?" That pleased George, and so said "Some people change a fly into an elephant, and some folks catch wind in net; some cleave with a sieve, and—" Seeing that George was all set for a long line of philosophical adjuncts to our argument, I retired. About that time in walked an ecclesiastic with a white tie, a priestly cut vest, and a long-tailed coat, a silk tiled handed down from the Websterian age. The discussion in segregation ceased. But let me case it over to you on the quiet that published list of aspirants for Recorder of Deeds didn't contain all the oxidized who have their eyes sot on it. It has been promulgated to me, by private and expert authority, that there are some bugs around here who, while not having filed any application, have had incumential (?) white friends suggest to the appointing power that they would fill that office like a top, and it would 'startled you if you heard their names. Before the winter breaks, may hand out their names just for fun. --- Rev. Walter Brooks took me aside once and said: "Young man why dont you join church? Why dont you come out on the Lord's side? You sure would be a power in church circles." I was much impressed with his entreaty, and I began going to church regularly twice a year thereafter. But I heard so many church members back-biting each other that I finally cut to once a year, then once every two years. Last Sunday morning as I had nothing particular to do, and as I had taken my bath on Saturday night. I thought I would wonder over to Beean Baptist. I heard Rev. Rivers preached a dog-gone good sermon, and I sorter believe in Rev. Rivers cause I feel he and a few others are clean ministers. I don't recall just what Rev. River's text was, cause just as he was announcing it a crepe-de-chimer who sat across the aisle from me crossed her legs in a tight dress, showing her silk hose up to her knee, and I got so disgusted (with the display of hosiery), that I failed to catch the text. However, the sermon impressed me. On coming out of the church I just made up my mind that I would be a useful member of society by taking Rev. Walter Brooks' advice and come in out of the wet. I walked along meditatively. Just in front of me were two pious ladies, regular church-goers, and two male-stamped individuals who pose as near-sanctifieders, and Bible students. They hadn't gone as far as Doc. Will Davis' drug store before they opened up on their neighbors. One of the ladies said: "What do you suppose she came to church for with that last year's hat on?" And the other said: "And wasn't that dress a sight?" Then one of the gentlemen said: "We ought to have a little more class about our churches, there are too many common people in churches to suit me." The other agreed with him, and as far as I walked behind them the four were handing out a bunch of saffron-hued talk about their neighbors. When they got to Thirteenth street they turned South in Thirteenth, and I went on, and as I went I sort of cogitated to myself: "I sure do wish we could get up a little poker club that would play all day Sunday, or I do wish Aaron Gaskin would keep open on Sunday so I could have some place to hang out where I wouldn't hear Christians (?) roasting each other. Next Sunday I'm just going to lay around h me and read the Psalms, or Prof. Miller's "Race Adjustment," or go down to George Murray's and get George started on a philosophical discourse. They sure have got too many back-bitters in the church to suit your Uncle Toney. I wish Billey Sunday would come hee, and just go through these oxidized churches like a dose of castor oil." And these secret orders of ours aint no better. Lem Bailly will tell you that. But by the way, do you really think Lem would take the Recorder of Deeds if it was stipulated that he would have to appoint Prof. Weatherless as his deputy? I leave you to decide that question. In the mean time, remember I aint so far from wrong when I whisper to you that too many chocolate drons figure more on the cats than they do on hoarding up a bunch of manhood. Better life our women has got more manhood floating around their exposed bosoms than most of our men have ever fixed their peepers on. P. S. Heard Doc. Will Davis say the other day that he'd rather lose all his drug trade than miss reading the Sage's stuff one week. And I heard Doc. Williston said: "Prof. Miller and I agree that everybody, including George Cook, Dick Thompson and Lafe Hershaw, read the Sage four times every week." A MODERN MAGDELENE. (By Miss Ethel Allen Robinson.) Alone in her desolate chamber, Lay a young girl bruised by sin. Without the tempest was raging And a tempest was raging within. Why was the world so cold and heartless? The question she asked o'er and o'er. And, as she thought and pondered, It perplexed her more and more. Then she thought of the other Mag- delene, Who, in the days of old Sought out the Savior of sinners, And to Him her story told. Then she saw, as in a vision, The crowd that gathered round And heard, "He that's without fault, cast the stone." But lo! not one was found. If Mary of old was forgiven, She could be forgiven too. And with a soul now born of God, Start for life again. It was a weary struggle For she struggled all alone. No one offered a hand to help her; No one but God heard her groan. Sometimes she felt, its no use to try, I'm struggling all in vain. There's no one to care if the fight I win, Why should I try again? And, in her sorrow and anguish, She sees in death, a friend. "It's surely no sin," she reasons, "If my worthless life I end." Then her Savior speaks unto her, In tones of tenderest love, "Child, your life, I love unto you Yet I know that you are strong, Though the night he filled with sorrow, Joy comes with every morn." With her hand gladly clasped in her Savior's She begins the fight anew Determined to win in the conflict; Determined the right to do. Her struggles would have been easier If some one brave and true. Had offered their strong right arm. And helped her bravely through. List! God still speaks unto us From His heavenly throne, "He that has no fault within him Cast at her the stone." And we see His look so stern Change to tenderness and love As He takes His erring child, And His tender love doth prove. Shows us that we, too, must offer Unto her a helping hand. Make her life more bright and cheerful. As we journey through this land. Then with conscience clear and peaceful. We may daily pray "As others I forgive, dear Savior, Sove forgive me, kind Lord, today." WORKING FOR HIS PEOPLE.

All of their aims and efforts during this administration have been to strike the colored American. The segregation and Jim Crow car law are actuated by a desire to humiliate and degrade them. The anti-marriage bill is an attempt on the part of Southern men to take from colored women the protection of the law and create in the District of Columbia the moral code as practised in the South. fell One thing about these March winds, they make the clothes on the line dry quickly.

CHINESE EATING OUR FOODS. Using Condensed Milk In Their Tea, and Also Eating Ice Cream. and Also Eating Ice Cream. Washington—Americans who have been influenced by the orient to the extent of taking their tea clear, without milk or sugar, will be astonished to learn that the occident is now bent on teaching the Chinese to use milk with their decoction of tea leaves—and condensed milk at that. An enterprising condensed milk company is pushing the campaign and expects to be successful. This concern already has introduced condensed milk ice cream to the Chinese, and they like it so well that many of the restaurants keep it always on hand. Practically no fresh milk is to be had in China, although the natives seem familiar enough with the virtues of both the fresh and the condensed article. Perhaps, after all, the orientals have taken their tea clear because there was no milk to put into it and not because they thought the addition of milk ruined the beverage. Canned salmon is another western staple that has made a decided impression on the far east, according to a report entitled "Canned Goods Trude In the Far East," written by United States Commercial Agent J. Alexis Shriver and published by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. The report contains many interesting facts about the home life of the Chinese, Japanese, Malays, etc., and many valuable suggestions for canners, who are considering the feasibility of selling goods on the other side of the Pacific. JOIN IN ATTACK ON LOW WAGES-WALSH Chairman of Federal Industrial Body Advises Protest. Chicago.—A plea that all the forces which are striving for the betterment of the human race join in an attack on low wages and "the resultant indecent standard of living" was voiced by Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the federal industrial relations commission, before a meeting of the City club of Chicago. "Let us have a new declaration of war and a good mobilization," he said. "I hold that every organization we have for good should strike a blow at the main offender, low wages. "When we divide our forces into three great battalions—those working for better economic conditions, those working for better social conditions and those working for better moral conditions—we make a monumental blunder. Lines cannot be drawn between the economic, social and moral life of the people. They rise or fall together and economic conditions always dominate. "If those who are concerned with social and moral betterment would join those of us who are primarily concerned with establishing economic justice; if they would help to force better wages, a decent standard of living, a better environment, more leisure and less laborious situations on 90 per cent of the people, we could cut their work at least in half." Asserting that at present we have "a veneration for wealth in this country that has made concrete wealth supra-legal." Mr. Walsh continued: "We have a perfect right to withhold the protection of organized society from one man who is doing many of us hurt. Great fortunes are as active a menace in themselves as they are to their possessors. They lead to greater and greater travesties on justice and a more insane vision of power. "The owners of such fortunes must have at some time or other crossed the line of true economics, ethics, equity and criminal law. An enormous fortune is a wrong proved by itself."

"EVEN HANDED JUST Body Will Be Vigilant Protection Public Interest From Encroach of Dishonest Business as a Constructive Help to Those Want to Do the Right Thing. New York.-Just what will be the scope and application of the new federal trade commission, authorized by congress, was set forth by Joseph E. Davies, commissioner of corporations, whose office is to be merged with the federal trade commission and who has been named by President Wilson as a member of the board, to a gathering which included a large number of business men interested in the purposes of the new governmental board. Legislation creating the trade commission was based on the platform declarations of the two dominant political parties that "private industrial monopoly was inconsistent with representative democracy." Commissioner Davies said. He added that the spirit and purpose behind the law were that of "even handed justice, vigilant protection of the public interest from encroachments of dishonest business and, as well, constructive help to business which is honestly and fairly desirous of accommodating itself to the law." Commissioner Davies said the purpose of the Newlands-Covington act which created the federal trade commission "was to provide an expert body, which should be ever watchful of the public interest, but which should as well be clothed with power to obtain facts and information for the good of the public and business generally, and which should serve also as an agency not only to enforce the law, but to aid expeditiously in the more easy accommodation of the remedy to the wrong and to the accommodation of business to the requirements of the law." Will Define Fairness. "The problems of modern industrial business are not simple," he continued. "Our modern industrial organism involves one-sixth of the total wealth of the nation. It affects approximately one-tenth of our population directly. Its welfare and its prosperity, consistent with the public interest, is a matter of first concern to government. One of the problems frequently alleged is uncertainty as to what the law prescribes." This legislation attempts to relieve that situation by specific definition to make that clear which cannot be done. "In the course of time there will be available to the federal trade commission a large body of information, collated, digested-and interpreted, as to the whole field of industry of the country. This agency is also available in the public interest in investigations of the anti-trust laws. Advise Department of Justice. "This information and expert knowledge are further made available by the law to the federal courts in the formation of dissolution decrees in trust cases, to the end that the public interest may be conserved, in that disinterested economic and expert knowledge of industry as well as legal information may be available in such situations. It direct authorization of the law the trade commission may be called in by the department of justice to make recommendations as to the manner in which corporations may readjust their business so as to comply with the provisions of the law. "The greatest menace to the small business men or enterprises lies in unfair methods of competition employed by their larger rivals, who can withstand a campaign of price cutting or similar practice simply by reason of brute strength. These practices, if permitted, breed monopoly. If prevented in their inception by government agency there is a guarantee of a square deal to the smaller unit and an assurance that it will depend for its survival upon its own efficiency and find justification therein for its existence. The theory of this law finds no quarrel with bliness of enterprise. It simply provides that the rules of the road, based on fairness, shall be made clear and shall be enforced." 1812 PENNY FOUND IN LOG. Coin, Well Preserved, Imbedded More Than a Century. Newton, N. J.-While splitting wood on his farm near here Amzi Cosner saw a piece of copper fall from one of the logs. He found that it was a penny, dated 1812. The coin was in a remarkable state of preservation, the figures on it being as easily distinguished as those on a newly minted coin. It is likely that when the penny was new it was lost in a crack of the then young tree and became imbedded in the bough. Wants to Run a Skunk Farm. Roselle, N. J.-Morris R.

Israel a Theocracy—Humanly a Republic—A Kingdom Preferred—Samuel Offended—The Request Granted. Saul, Son of Kish—His Anointing. "For God Honor the king."—1 Peter 8:11. ISRAEL'S government was a theocracy: L. e., God was their King. His Law their govern- ment. The elders of each tribe supervised its affairs. God provided a friendly tribe, which represented the people's religious interests. Prophets and Judges were sent them from time to time as special messengers of the Lord, but without authority except as the people believed their counsels. Thus Israel was, so far as its earthly interests were concerned, a republic, in covenant relationship with God. Our lesson shows that the israelites did not appreciate their Dirinely arranged republic. They beheld the splendor of the nations surrounding them, and thought that because they were different, it was to their disadvantage Samuel was growing old, and they feared that his sons would succeed him as judges. These sons were unreliable— "walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, took bribes, and perverted judgment" ! The elders of the tribes conferred together, and believed that it would be better to choose from amongst themselves a king themselves a king, The Prophet Samuel, and thus become more like the nouns round about. They came to Samuel and told them their desires. Samuel was disappointed, but gave them no answer until he had conferred with God. The Lord bade him not to be offended—that it was not he who was rejected, but God and His government. God was willing to let them have their experiences with kings, and instructed Samuel to inform them fully what would be the consequences. Samuel explained "that the kings would exercise more or less autocratic power and would conscript their sons for servants, for soldiers and for public works; that their liberties would be greatly abridged; that their wealth would more or less flow into the king's coffers, etc. Divine Foreknowledge Illustrated. At the appointed time Samuel having received instructions I Lord, came in contact with t king—Saul, son of Kish. A uses having strayed from KI Saul was sent to seek their. searching in vain, he called upon the Prophet to ask where the asses were. The answer was that the asses were found, but that Saul was to dine with the Prophet in an appointed place, where other guests had been invite l. The place of honor was given Saul, who was astounded to hear the Prophet speak of him as Israel's choice for leader. He modestly called attention to the fact that he belonged to a small tribe—Benjamin—and that his family was the least in it. But the Prophet persisted. The next morning he was directed respecting his journey in such a manner that he would have corroborations of things that the Prophet had intimated. Moreover, he was to have experiences which would make him a changed man. As the two walked together, the Prophet drew forth a vial of oil and poured it upon Saul's head, anointing him king of Israel by Divine appointment. However, matters were to be kept secret until a later time. Saul's faith in the Prophet's declaration was strengthened by the fulfillment of the experiences foretold. Meeting a company of the school of prophets, he joined in their singing and prophesying. We read, "God gave him another heart, and the Spirit of God came upon Saul, and he prophesied." The Spirit of God signifies simply an invisible Power from God. Those coming under this Power acted sometimes in one way and sometimes in another, as they were moved by the Power of Jehovah. Since Pentecost, the impartation of the Holy Spirit signifies that begetting influence which God gives to consecrated believers in our Lord Jesus and which brings them into God's family as sons and enables them more and more to appreciate the mind of God as expressed in the Bible. But preface the Spirit. begetting influence which God gives to consecrated believers in our Lord Jesus and which brings them into God's family as sons and enables them more and more to appreciate the mind of God as expressed in the Bible. But previously, the Spirit signified simply a holy energy by which any person might be used of the Lord to write, to do or to say whatever the Lord wished. Israel's First King Chosen. In due time, the people came together to Samuel to have the Lord's will expressed in the choice of a king amongst them. Again Samuel told them the dangers of leaving the simplicity of God's arrangement and taking up with the monarchial arrangement. But, seeing that they still desired a king, he acted for them and drew lots. Finally the lot fell upon Saul, as Samuel and Saul knew that it would: for they believed that God's hand was in the matter. As the young man—probably seven feet tall, of athletic build—was brought forth, he filled the people's ideal. They were pleased with God's choice. TWELFTH AND R STREETS, M. W. James H.

It is a mis- taken idea some people have that a public office gives an individual more consideration than it gives to individuals who exist upon their own resources. The man in busi- ness is more independent than the man who is in office. The man in office is subjected to the official lash. He is the alleged prince in the social arena. He is the gay decciver and traducer of our women. Many of them are bach- vlors and have no respect for the honor of a woman. An_honest workirg woman is ignored, while fashionable demi monde is 2 and respected by the so- Visit many of these stions in this city ret that confronts You «aD YOu chs a vee reception parlcrs or the assembly hall is the questionable woman. She is the princess or the queen of the social “push. The honest girl who dares to protect her honor against the invasions of these alleged expo- nents of high morals or women’s virtues, recognizes the veiled woman who parades the streets at night and passes ter male asso- eiates in the day time intoxicated. But, yet the Colored man in au- thority or the man who has the power to appoint would rather do honor to this class than he would to the most humble and the most virtuous in the kitchen, the dining reom or the maid in the bed room, or the office girl. The woman wh« attempts to proteet her honor against. nfany of the invasions o! these social hypocrites is often taisjudgea or unjustly charged of offeuses 6f which she is not guilty. The woman who seeks medical as sistance is often -insulted before she concludes explaining her ail ments.

On the front page will be seen and read with interest and admira- tion the report of three celebrated murder cases that were won in the Courts at Mayes Landing, N. J., by Isaac N. Nutter, Esq. The Atantic City Daily Press com- mends this young lawyer and gives him an editorial endorse- ment as being the most remarkable victory in the annals of criminal defense for any lawyer, white or eolored. The kditor of The Bee is personally acquainted with this lawyer, and knows him to be a young man and a most brilliant orator. Ilis speeches are effective, gloguent and powerful, and the high compliments paid him by the leadirg white press in New Jersey is an evidence that he is equal or surpasses any criminal lawyer in the State and a eredit to the Negro bar. It makes the argument of the Bee correet, all that the Colored lawyer wants is a chance. . This is a great victory for the Colored bar. The Atlantic City Press says as follows: February 27th, 1915. To secure two acquittals out of three homitide eases and to have the third settled on a manslaugh- ter basis with a penalty of from one to ten years in prison is no small task for even the best-known white lawyer with. a great reputa- tion—especially when the whole calendar is cleared up within one week. But for this feat to be ac- complished by a Colored lawyer— a man who has persevered under the severe handicap which is the Jundeniable lot of all Negroes in {America—is genuinely remark: able. Isaac T. Nutter, Colored ,] member of the local bar, is entitled |to full eredit for his splendid work ‘Jat Mays Landing during the week ||just closing, for it is understooc ;|that he was the working attorne; “tin all three cases. And no on ,|should begrudge him the credi || Which-is rightfully due. Even Su 3|preme Court Justice Black, it i ;|understood, called Mr. Nutter t .|the bench at the termination of th »|final case-yesterday and person ,{ally congratulated him for th j{ability which he showed in th zjeases. It is perfectly proper t y|pay this sincere tribute to Attor rjney Nutter, no matter what on .|may think of the outeome of th e|cases as bearing on publie polity MEWNAUES LU WASTING LON, The tranquility of this city is only disturbed by interlopers who are imported into the city and an effort made to control our institu- tions. For a number of years the tivons of this city have enioved heppiness aud tranquility. Byt. the outcasts from other cities, with but few exceptions, have wormed themselves into the confidence of the people to such an extent that has made life miserable, Our churches, Sunday sehools and oth- er institutions have placed at their head the glib tongued and Christ- jan hypocrites. The Christian churches are full of false pretend- ers. ,They come to this eity be- ease they are outcasts from their own homes. Whenever a mah or woman leaves his or her home and comes to this city, the best evi- dence in the world that he and. she are social outeasts at their own thomes’ and vampires in Washing- ‘ton soviety. ‘These outeasts are not satisfied with being permitted to live in this city but they seck to control “both the Sunday school and and vhurch. They are not content with being permitted to occupy rear seats, but they want to monopolize the Amen corner and put on 2 priestly robe to do what God forbid. sinners to do, The chureh as well‘as the Sabbath Schools are full of hypocrites. These so-called Christians are to the Chureh and Sabbath School as ferrets are to houses full of rats, as wilds beasts are to a field of lambs. They hunt for easy vie- tims. Both places, the Church and Sabbath School, become demoral- ized by clothed Christians to hide their villiny. Take if you please these quisi social functions and dis- seet those who have them in charge and The Bee ventures the asser- tion that ash kegs are too filthy to hold their clothing. Such men as Dr. Ralph Stewart, Jerome A. Johnson, Dr. Sumner Wornly, Prof. J. D. Baltimore and others of such type must open their eyes and take a rake and clean out the seanvengers. These menances to Washington should be cleaned out. They should be made to know their Tlases. A woman from North Car. olin Some few years ago came to this city and attempted to dictate to the respectable people whe should and who should not be ad. mitted into our social circle, when suc “tas a social outcast at her own hons: Just how these renegade: ease ito the social circle is st Madam A. L. Houston, pastor of a spiritualist church at 1820 HOW DIFFERENT. Some few years ago the white ? of . itizens of this city iriaugurated a novement to help the white teach- rs fund by givirg a fair. At this ‘air thousands of dollars worth of goods were contributed by the white merchants. The Bee is of he opinion if a similar movement is augmented among the Colored people in the interest of the Col- ored Teachers Assacoation, a hand- some sum would be realized. Just hink of it! A Colored teacher who is given perpetual leave, after havirg taught so many years or antil he or she is unable to teach, must starve to death if a sufficient amount has not been saved during tis or her life of health, to keep him or her, alive. What the Col- ored teachers need is a strong man at the head of the board of educa- tion. Sueh a man as Captain James F. Oyster, who takes more interest in the Colored schools than the Colored members of the board of education and more in- terest in all the schools than any other man who has ever been a member of the board of education. It was a great setback to all the schools when Captain Oyster re- tired from the board of education. There will be at least three to re- tire this year and it is hoped that three good men will be named by the Court and that Captain Oyster will be one of them. It is the firm belief of The Bee, had Captain Oyster remained on the board of education, the teachers retirement bill would have been a law ‘today and had Congress transferred thi appointment of the board of edu cation to the commissioners ther would have been a board indeec and in fact appointed. The school: }will be transferred under contro jof the commissioners by the nex .|Congress, and the teachers retire -Jment dill will also be passed b; {the next Congress. It can be scen that there is some feeling and gratitude among cer- tain Democrats in the Senate and the House of Representatives. The gentleman from Mississippi, as we understand it was persuaded or told to object to the appropriation for Howard University by Senator James K. Vardaman. The coun- try is not giving itself much con- cern as to Mr, Vardaman. The in- telligent white people north of Ma- sou and TDixon’s line have intelli- gence enough to know what is best for them to do so far as Negro ed- ucation is concer.ci. At the time the er. So. Toward Unies ‘was stricken from the Lill alt Kinds of rumors‘and charges were made against certain individuals and were subsequently denied by the very demagogues who made them. If Mr. Vardaman made any prop- osition relative to the Howard University item, the man who made the charge should be man enough to come forward and sib- stantiate what he has circulated. The Bee was notified -by the move- ment the item was restored to the bill by a very distinguished Dem- ovrat in the [fouse and a friend to the race. This same, gentleman also informed the Bee that no Jin (Crow ear {bill would pass. The Colored citizens have everything for which to be thankful. They have good friends in Congress in both parties and The Bee ventures the assertion that they have noth- ing to fear from Democrats north of Mason and Dixon's ine. There is no better friend in the Senate to the Colored American than Hon. Wm. E. Chilton, of Charleston, W. Va. Not only did this Democratic Senator work against the Jim Crow ear bill that was fathered by a Mississippi Democrat, but he voted against it. The Bee speaks particularly about this Senator because he went out of his way to defend the Colored people. When we find men there, no matter what their polities may be, they should be supported, What the Colored people want are men, no matter what their polities may be, if. they believe in human rights and equality .of citizenship. Not only did Senator Chilton work against this Jim Crow ear bill, but he supported the appropriatior for Toward University. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. In another column is a_letter from Lieut. Carmaneh, a Colored Catholic, and a man of distinction, who has served in the Spanish American War with honor, and distinction. The Bee only knows what he sees himself ofthe grati- tude of the Catholic Church towards the Colored people in t}i- city, and Maryland... . Vf the white catholics in the Dis- tut are as Mr. Carmanch states -r his letter, it is news to the Bee. ‘fle catholics in Maryland are doing more for the Colored people than the protestants. The catho- lies in this city have done and are Aoing great good for the Colored people. The Bee was informed some time ago that the present Public Printer, Mr. Ford, is better towards the Colored employees in his office than any public printer that has ever been there. The sub-bosses who were heretofore very tyranical and unfair, have been displaced and other men put in their places who know how to treat Colored help. Mr. Ford, the Public Printer, is a catholle. : The Editor’s good “friend Mr, John Hadley Doyle, whom the Editor has known since boyhood, is a strict catholic, and not a fairer man lives. Tf the Catholic Chureh endorses mob violence against a Negro, The Bee is unaware of it.- "The Bee has faith in the Catholic Church. CAPTAIN J. F. OYSTER. The present condition in our’ schools will never be rectified until Captain James F. Oyster returns to the board of education. There is no man more in the confidence of the people than he is. It is the sincere wish of the people that he be returned to the board. When school heads become bigger than the master’s it is about time to remove the head. There never was a time that the services of Captain Oyster are more necded on the board of education than now. Te is one man who could receive the votes of the Colored people, if the right of suffrage were granted. Seated in a park on a March day feading a manuscript preparatory to carrying to the school house is an amusing thing on a March day. Finley has no doubt been correct- ed.

MAXFIELD At the 47th Anniversary of Rising “Sun Lodge No. 1365, Odd Felows, February 28, 3915, at the New Bap- tist Church, Corner 9th and S Sts. N..W. My Brethren with a grateful heart to God for his marvelous blessings to me, I greet you with sincerity in Friendship, Love, and Trath, for the first time since my painful accident more than a year ago. I thank God with a sincere heart that Iam spared to mingle my volee with yours in praise and adoration to Him, and to stand here for Truth, Justice and Humanity, not only here, but where ever my lot is cast. Feetv-ono years ago, this fall, my heart WaS Made clad tn fein the noble company of true Hearted Odd Fellows of this Lodge for the first time. By precept and example I have been ever mindful of the obligations I then took, at.the most sacred place in the Lodge; having passed the various stations In the lodge, I was assigned to the re- sponsible duty of permanent secre- tary at the death of our Treasurer, Brother A. K. Manning on February 28d, 1882. I became sole custodian of al moneys of the lodge until Brother R. J. Collins was elected Treasurer. Our funds at that time amounted to about four hundred dollars. Our Lodge has been hoth wise and for- tunate during the Forty-seven years of its existence in selecting good, hon- est, business men to handic its finan- ees. Brother Sampson Netter, was our first treasurer, followed by Brothers A. K. Manning, R. J, Collins, and Rev. W. J. Howard. ‘The business and moral worth of all four of these good men will compare favorably with any ‘other four Wusiness men in the District of Columbia. The prominent and long service, permanent secretaries were Brothers John Jimison, M. C. Max: field, C. H. F. Over, George F. Collins. and James I, Coleman, The splendid financial success of our ludge in her latter days js a compliment to its late secretaries and treasurer, Brother W. J. Howard,-and all other members wha have made faithful sacrifices to wiscly look after the financial inter- est of the Lodge. Brothers Stafford Parker, Thoimas Manning, James H. Debney, Richard Beverly, and M. C, Maxfield, stand in their order of seniorority as the last of that noble Army of Odd-Fellows, who delighted to meet around the Camp fires of Friendship, Love and Truth, and give praise to the Lamb of God who was rich, and for our sake became poor. In 1881 Brothers A. K. Manning and M. C, Maxfield, were candidiates for p 7 4 : : fh > Ba a ah H Mr. Shelby J. Davidson fection of neat whose photo appears below {s an ac- church man.

M.C., which was held in Richmond, Va. after a warm but pleasant contest. Brother Manning gained the prize by one vote. He was also elected presi- dent of that great meeting, which was attended by some of the most brilliant men of the order. Brother Manning was an honest, sound hearted busi- ness Christian gentleman. He attempt- ed reforms at that meeting and if they hdd been adopted the order would be blessed today. He met great opposi- ‘tion from Odd-Fellows at the head jof the Order. The labors of that meeting were too arduous for his weak constitution; he died February 23d, 1882, and was buried February 26. On that day I can safely say this lodge carried to an honored grave one of the greatest men this order has ever produced. I had the sad, but pleasant duty, as chairman of the Committee on Resolutions to express sentiments of sincerity and the eulogy at his Memorial Services; these appeared in the Odd-Fellows Gazette then edited by Morris Chester in 1882, Rising Sun Lodge has always had a leading place in all our progress. In 1879 a communication was received from a club of men asking admission into our order A committee was ap- pointed consisting of Brothers A, K. Manning, W, H. Fleming, and M. C. Maxfield to investigate the matter, and after many weeks hearing, “OS- CEOLA LODGE” was organized, and set apart as a regular lodge of Odd- Fellows. After Brother BManning’s death a Monument was erected to h's memory at 3 cost of more than $125.00. Bro- ther Fleming visited several Lodges and secured funds to put with the money which our lodge contributed. In 1879 one Committee form this Lodge consisting of Brothers Thomas and Joseph Manning and M. C. Max field, turned over to the Trustees of the old thirteenth street Hall $500 0¢ as the proceeds from one joint plenic ‘This lodge is due the credit througt the efforts of Brother Manning of pay ing the first $10.00 which secured th ground on which the Odd-Fellows Hal now stands.

The Colored members of the bar -have the respect ofthe court when they desefve It. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia plays no favorites and they appreciate the man, white or black, who plays the monkey. Many people hay an idea, that fs certain Colored people, that’ Colored lawyers have no influence with the court; that the Colored lawyer .s not Terpected by the court and the like. No charge is any more ridiculous than th's. No lawyer, white or black, makes any impression on the court if the law, the facts and evidence are against him. The Colored lawyer is as much respected and carries as much weight as a white lawyer; if any thing, in many instances, the Colored lawyer fs given greater consideration. The newly appointed judges, McCoy, Covington and Siddons. although Democrats, trust the Colored attor- neys just the same as those dis- tinguished Republican judges, Gould, Stafford and Anderson. The Colored lawyer will take more interest in his Colored clients than the white law- yer. There hag never been a case where the Supreme Court has crit- feised a lawyer on account of his 492) 4 GAG OYL YOM SUT, “10109 call the ‘attention of its readers to" Attorney Thomas Walker, Who is one of the most progressive members of the local bar.

She truthfully placed herself in the same category on the Afro-Amer- {can question as any of the Protestant denominations in this country. As a Catholic, I say: What a pity. | P.

A Remarkable Women A Remarkable Women The trend of progressive minds is towards mentalism; and it is now believed that thoughts are living things and as indestructible is physical matter. We know that the influence and thoughts of great men are as potent today as when they lived on earth. We believe, also, that there are certain gifted and highly sensitive persons who, by the power of great concentration, can tune their mental organization in harmony with the mental organization of others, whether living or dead, and thus receive messages from souls that are in the body and those that are out of the body. Such sensitive persons may at will make themselves a medium of communication between the minds of the living as well as between the minds of the living and the dead (so called). Her psychic powers were revealed to her many years ago; and at first she had no intention to employ them professionally, but as soon as they became known to her acquaintances, she was constantly importuned for readings and advice. Prominent mediums soon learned of her extraordinary gift and urged her to develop systematically under some experienced occultist. Pursuant to this advice she joined a psychic class, and after two years of discipline and training, she began to sit for public demonstrations. It is no part of Madam Houston's work, nor does she profess to be able to read the palm of the hand, to bring good luck, to restore lost affections, to impose spells or remove them, or to do anything that pertains to fortune telling, conjuration or black magic. She is an intelligent, Christian spiritualist, and prays, concentrates, submits herself to the control of the higher intelligences and then communicates only what they reveal to her. She reads the past, the present and the future with marvelous accuracy, and is at her best when it is desired that she put herself in rapport with spirits of departed friends. These she describes with such detail as to appearance, speech and manners that they are easily recognized, and she gives to the living whatever message of love, of advice or warning such spirits may wish to be conveyed. She predicts without mistake prosperity, loss of position, change of residence, domestic infelicity, secret enemies, sickness, death and a variety of important matters, which being known in advance may be provided for. Madam Houston believes that few persons are acquainted with the psychic powers they possess, and that many possess the gift to a rare degree but are totally ignorant of it; and for this reason she instructs a psychic class every Tuesday evening from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, in which class some of the students are developing rapidly. The popularity of Madam Houston is shown by the liberal patronage she receives from the intelligent element in this community, including clergymen, teachers, lawyers, physicians and government employees.

READY FOR FEAST OR FIGHT There Are Men From Every Part of the United States and From the Higher to the Lesser Degrees In the Social Scale—Galveston Negro Serving as Cook Mourned by All When Killen. London. Always ready for a feast or a grecian and the greatest fighting unit in the French army is the description applied to the French-American Foreign Region by one of its members, Phil Roder, Chicago writer, artist and soldier. Back on a furlough from the transaction, where sometimes waist deep in water the troops hide from the terrestrial artillery fire, the Chicagoan painted an intimate word picture of the type of men who have adopted the tricolor as their flag in the present war. There are Americans in the service from every part of the United States and from every walk of life," said Eaker. "I think the most interesting of the whole lot that I met was Eugene Jacob, whose wife is running his butcher shop in Pawtucket, R. L., while he fights for France. Both he and his wife were born in Belgium. "Jacob is the most fervent German hater that I know of. Even during the Christmas truce he refused to lay his feelings aside, and just before we left our trenches to meet the Germans and exchange cigars and greetings he fixed his bayonet and declared that if we brought a single German into the trench he would kill him. And all day Christmas he sulked. Fought. Then Shook Hands. Then, later, one day a German who was drunk wandered into our trenches and taunted us, but we respected his bravery and admired him. But not Jacob. He and the German had a dandy fat fight in the trench, but afterward they shook hands and became friends. Jacob told the camp if he had whined he would have killed him, but that he had found that he was a man even though he was a German. "Bartlett Donnell of Brooklyn was killed by a shell while I was near him. He told me that he came to the war because his girl had told him to go out into the world and accomplish something. I don't know who the girl was, but she lost the coolest, quietest and bravest man in the legion. "Another American is from St. Louis, John Street, an evangelist. He grew very hopeful that a reconciliation was coming during the Christmas truce, when we smoked, walked arm in arm and played with the Germans. The following day Street got out of his trench in the early morning and waved his hand to a German friend in a trench fifty feet distant. A bullet went through his head and he dropped dead. Missed Negro Singer. "George Ullard, a Galveston negro, was our cook and a fine one. He was the best singer for hundreds of feet on both lines of trenches, and the Germans loved his songs. He taught them to sing 'Sailing-Down Chesapeake Bay,' but one day a shell-blew Ullard's trench to pieces and he was killed. Next day the Germans yelled to us to have George sing. When we told them that he was dead they yelled back that they were sorry, as all of the riflemen in the trenches had agreed not to shoot the cheerful black man who sang so well." Rader was mentioned in dispatches for destroying a straw stack in which four German machine guns had been hidden. Rader and two companions fastened beet leaves to a gunny sack and, shielded by it, crawled to the straw stack through a beet field and set fire to it. For forty-seven days, Rader says, he was in trenches filled with water and mud. SHOT, PILOT STUCK TO POST. Guided British Warship Under Fire In Suez Canal Though Wounded. Cairo. A stirring little story of quiet heroism displayed during the battle against the Turki-h invaders the other day has been told here. The hero of the incident is a pilot named Carew, who was on board the warship Hardinge, one of the vessels engaged on the canal helping to repel the Ottoman attack. The ship came under the heaviest fire, and Carew was severely wounded in the arm and leg. He would not, however, leave his post, although suffering terribly. "Bring me a chair and prop me up," he said to one of the crew. "I will see you through." The gallant pilot is now in the hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate his leg. Happily he is making good progress, and his recovery is assured. Dogs Abandoned In London. Bogs Abandoned in London. London. The war has caused an unprecedented number of dogs to be abandoned in London, although the penalty for such is a $100 fine or six months' imprisonment. Appeals are made in the press for individuals to ransom the animals and give them to the troops as mascots. STORE CLOSES: EXIT VILLAGE Town Wiped On. map. Department of Reservers for Environment Sloux Falls, S. D. Tivis, a frontier village in Bemington county, is no more. Closing up of the affairs of the Consumers Supply company here by a receiver market the passing of the town and also one of the unique stores of the west. For years the store stood on the prairie several miles from the nearest neighbor and forty-five miles from a railroad. The store was equipped like a department store in a city of 25,000. The company was formed in 1908, following the settlement of the surrounding country by homesteaders in the boom days. George E. Tivla, for whom the town, consisting of the store, was named, had been in the country many years and had conducted a small store on his ranch. Later he formed the Consumers' Supply company, with a capital of $50,000, and built a magnificent store, newspaper office and bank building. The store was stocked with everything from thrashing machines and traction engines to groceries. Titls recently disappeared, and the appointment of the receiver followed. Had the homesteaders who occupied the surrounding region been able to raise good crops each year the "city store on the prairie" might have succeeded. Many of the homesteaders were unable to make farming pay and left the country. HEROIC NURSES SAVE WHILE OTHERS FIGHT Surgeon Tells How Nobly Soldiers Bear Suffering. London.—So intently is the attention of the public concentrated on the deeds of the troops on the firing line that recognition of the valuable work performed by the medical service on the battlefields of Europe has been by no means adequate outside of official circles. Hourly the gallant army of physicians, surgeons, nurses and medical troops of all the nations involved in the titanic conflict respond to unexampled demands. In a recent letter published in the Edinburgh Scotsman a medical officer of the British service relates some of the interesting incidents which occur daily at the several receiving bases in France. "We get the wounded here at practically first hand," writes the officer. "They are brought in with all possible speed, dealt with at once and sent out THE WOODEN WAREHOUSE AMERICAN RED CROSS NURSES IN PARIS. to the hospitals and into the hands of men and women of all nationalities, who nurse and doctor them. "They're wonderful chaps, those soldiers. Great stuff; too good to lose. They are brought to us at all hours, exhausted, covered with mud, hastily but well bandaged on common sense principles, and aye the quiet, plucky grin or the patient set of the law. "What price this little lot, doctor?" and the querist indicates where the bullet entered his thigh. 'And me football leg, too' growled another, brought in dripping one night. 'And who the (excision by censor) will do the scorin' fur the ould tame now? All the same, sir, I scored agin in the man that did this or wan av his side. "And so it goes on. It's a great experience this. As a surgeon, I know its value. But I wish it was over. It's awful. The stream of wounded seems unceasing, and sometimes I ask myself, when I have time to realize it at all, how long I shall be able to stand the strain. We must do our work, however, and I'm proud to do it for those grand men—the "Tommies."" Cardinal at the Front London.-Cardinal Bourne and Mgr.

My Dear Little European Sister: My Dear Little European Sister: I send you this doll, and I feel lots of pleasure in giving it to you. I am twelve years old, and I live in Chicago. I offer you my affection and my sympathy, and I hope that very soon better days will come back and that peace will reign over you and the little girls of your country. I hope also that my doll will find a good mamma in you and that she will console you. Your affectionate sister. KATHERINE ROBERTS. The little French girl who received this letter was so much touched by it that she has written the following reply: Dear Little American Sister: I am the little French girl to whom was given your pretty dolly. I am very happy that I was chosen to receive this precious token of friendship from a little American. I also am twelve years old. I am from the city of Rheims, a refugee, with all my family in Paris, which is a very beautiful and very great city, where the people are very good also. We were very unhappy to leave our homes, but we have been much comforted by the kind reception in our dear capital, but when my papa shall come back and we may return home I shall take your dolly with me, and I shall keep also the little piece of money in souvenir of you and your country. I send you some volcots of France, and I embrace you very affectionately. Your little French sister, who will ways keep a kind remembrance of you. IRINE CHAPELLE. Au Refuge de la Ville de Paris. REWARD FOR BIG FAMILIES. French Scientist Academy Sees Cause For Alarm in Decrease of Births. Parks.-The problem of repopulation of France is receiving the attention of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences. Figures were read at a meeting of the academy showing that the number of births annually in the country in the last twenty years fell from 86,000 to 750,000. It is estimated if a proportionate decrease should continue for another twenty years the future military classes would be 20,000 less than the classes of 1911, 1915 and 1916. The question was considered so vital it was suggested that important advantages should be accorded fathers of families having numerous children, and that the idea be generalized that the normal family comprises three children. It was suggested that the heads of such families be allowed to share in a proposed recompense. WHAT TO DO DURING CLEAN UP WEEK. 1.
