Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1917 VOL. XXXVII, NO. 44 MR. SPINGARN ENDORSED MR. SPRINGARN ENDORSED. Lieut. Carmouche Favors Colored Camp—The Position of The Bee Meets With.-Favor. In regards to training camp at Plattsburg for Colored Officers U. S. V. A.—As a veteran of the Spanish American War I am very much in favor of a separate camp, for the training of colored men and readily agree with Mr. Wm. Pickins in his letter to Mr. Springman, February 27, 1917. By all means colored men of the U. S. let us have the required (200) colored men for the camp. In my several articles to the Bee and Seattle searchlight and private letters to comrades, I had a great deal to say concerning the ability and capabilities of the colored men as officers in the army and our disatisfaction of his unequal treatment in that particular. "Now its up to us." In regards to our unjust treatment in other things. My views are well known. We have and do justly blame the better element of the whites in this country for permitting the outrages committed against us. We have justly blamed President Wilson for not appointing colored men to certain offices which colored men have held. Personally, I have justly blamed and severelyoooooooooooooo Department for appointing me of a well merited pension for disabilities in the deadly Isle of Cuba in 1898. It was not fair for the Department to take the word of a few miscreants who were not and are not now patriotic enough to fight for "Old Glory." But Mr. Editor, with all of that, this is our country and the Stars and Stripes is our flag, and my parrotic editorial in Bee of March 10th, is to the point. As a veteran of the Spanish American War, again I say to the colored men; grasp the opportunity, go to Plattburg and make good. Quality as officers for services in order to lead the unsurpassed sons of Ethiopia. A failure on our part to do so when authority presents itself, will rest as a sigmia upon us. For the sake of our future history, GO. I have three girls, if the two who are old enough were boys I would not hesitate to give them their outfit and money, and to Plattburg they would go. With all of our abilities and capabilities in the regular army it is an absolute necessity that we in times like these, qualify to receive those honors, high honors. They are worth having. As one of the most uncompromising citizens of color in this country who feel keenly our unjust treatment, I am as patriotic and as loyal as the best, and I feel that there are millions of colored citizens like me. Its hardly necessary to say that our race has yet to produce a traitor in the U. S. To prove my sincerity in this most serious advice, the following letter is made public. 341 Erakine. Detroit Michigan. March 2nd, 1917. President Wilson, White House, Washington, D. C. Mr. President: As a veteran of the Spanish American War, who saw services as, 1st Lleutenant Co. L. 9th U. S. V. Infantry in Cuba in 1898-99, I am at the disposal of the President' or "Old Glory", if it comes to a question of sustaining the dignity of the United States in our present controversy, with Germany and any country). As close observer of things and as a republican, I am with you for the manner in which you, as head of the nation, have handled the situation. Trusting we may be spared the unpleasantness, I am Respectfully and loyally yours, (Signed) P. L. CARMOUCHE. On March 6th I received the following reply: White House, Washington. The President deeply appreciates your very generous and patriotic proffer of your services and wishes in this informal way to express his grateful thanks. On March 19th, 1917, I received from Mr. H. P. McCain, the Adjutant General, registration and application blanks to fill, and on March 17th, I filed my application for appointment as 1st lieutenant of J. S. V. Infantry. I am 55 years of age, willing to do my best. Why? Love of race, patriotic love of country, patriotic times to come the colored citizens, sorority in the land of his oppressions, will be the glory of his recognition and citizenship. A Strong Element in the Church. Defend Him—The Opposition Not Strong—Majority. For Him Editor, You. For Him, you ask you to publish this Communication for concerning the pastor of the Florida Baptist Church. There are a few discontented ele- ments in all churches. When this disorganized element is convinced that it cannot control and suit the pastor, it become rebellious. I want to inform the publie, through the Bee, which reaches my people, that two-thirds of the membership in this church will support. Rev. Taylor. His sermons are always satisfactory no matter what others may say. If the people could see those who are opposed to him they would be convinced that they don't represent anybody, not even themselves. They dare not come from under cover. Several threats have been made to him, but at no meeting of the congregation does this element dare shown its hand. It is known that it is in the minority. The leader of this crowd is our enemy. He will not show his hand, because he knows that he would be defeated. Speaking of Jaber Lee, he would re- call the story of the Baptist chur- chment today, if he were asked The only mistake Rev. Taylor has made is placing Mr. Lee at the head of our sabbatth school. We had one of the most flourishing sabbath schools in the city and no one regrets the misunderstanding between my pastor and Miss Tolliver any more than I do. The Congregation intends to support the pastor because the present opposition to a puff of wind. Yours truly. A member and supporter of the pastor. BETHEL LITERARY. The meeting at Bethel Literary last Tuesday evening proved one of more than usual interest. The speakers were especially attractive and the audience intensely eager to learn the significance of the message which they brought. The subject presented related to the Bahal movement and the speakers were Miss Juliet Thompson, an artist of New York; Mrs. Ellery, a secretaire of New York; Joseph H. Hannen of this city. Miss Thompson spoke of "Personal Reminiscences of Abdul Baha"; Mrs. Beecher on "The Great Invitation," and Mr. Hannen on "Bahal Principles." The audience seemed desirous of knowing the truth as embodied in the teachings of Abdul-Baha and asked many pertinent questions with reference to it. "It is a compliment to the fair-mindedness of the ministers who were present that they should inquire with freedom and open-mindedness into the teachings. Such a leadership augurs good for any people. Mr. L. G. Gregory was called upon to reply to the many questions asked and responded in a full, free and sympathetic manner, giving information always to the point and the unusual familiarity with the Holy Bible. The discussion was opened by Rev W. C. Brown of John Wesley A. M. E. Church and he was followed by Rev Stepeau, Rev Tate, Mrs. Murray, Mr. Moten and Mr. Frank B. Willmans. A Bahal poem was read by Mrs. Caroline W. Harris. Of equal attraction with the addresses was the music rendered by the Lyric Quintet. This group of young musicians is urged to the front and even more has just claim to first place in the field of that style of music. You should hear them. Mr S. M. Dudley made a motion extending a vote of thanks to all who participated in the program. Next Tuesday Bethel Literary will celebrate High School Night. The Armstrong and Dunbar High School will present an interesting music consisting of a debate an music by college gates clubs and an inter-school quartet. JUNION CHOIR. A Great. Union. Choir Movement Started by Mrs. E. Baylor of the Vermont Ave. Baptist. Church. A very interesting meeting was held at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church last Sunday under the auspices of the Union Choral Society of the District of Columbia. This movement was started a few months ago by Mrs. E. Baylor, a lady of great executive ability, being known all over the District as a successful organizer. The music was furnished on this occasion by the choir of Galbraith A. M. E. Z. Church of which Mr. Harry Lewis is director. A tenor solo was also sung by Mr. Wright of the Lutheran Church accompanied by Mrs. Gabriella Pelham. Among those who addressed the meeting were Mrs. Pelham. Dr. Wiseman and Mr. Harry Lewis. Mr. Lewis in presenting Mrs. Pelham to the audience, stated that to his mind Mrs. Pelham was one of the most efficient musicians in this country. Mrs. Pelham, who is a very fluent speaker as well as an accomplished musician, addressed the audience for about twenty minutes upon choir work. At the conclusion of the services, Mr. Lewis presented a very handsome silver medal by the society. The plans and objects of the society are as follows: 1. To bring all choirs into a social union: 2. That all choristers and presidents of choirs be better acquainted with church and chorister in case an invitation is extended. 3. So that we may have friendly relationship with all who are musically inclined. It has been further planned that meetings be held in all sections of the District as the assembly sees it. 10 REV. D. D.

Costello was highly complimented and thanked by his clerks last week for the interest he took in their behalf, in having their pay raised. Recorder Costello is the only recorder of deeds who took enough interest in his employees to have their pay increased. He had inserted in the District Appropriation Bill a paragraph increasing to $2.50 per day the salary of these clerks, and advancing the pro rata.copyists' pay to 40 cent of the record fee, where formerly they received only one-third the price of recording The per diem employees were receiving only $2 for a full day's work and $1 on the half-holiday of Saturday, and were losing all holidays. At the March pay day, day each such clerk received compensation at the rate of $15 per week instead of $11. They were also paid for the inauguration day holiday, through a ruling obtained from Controller by Mr. Costello, who took the court of pay for holidays to the White House. The employees are grateful to the recorder for his interest in their regard, and in conversation with Star reporter today expressed their appreciation, one of them remarking, "he is the first recorder to take more interest to secure more pay for us." The old schedule of salary had stood unchanged since 1893, when the office was placed on a salary basis. Quality Corporation Sending Big Show to the Howard Theatre April 9th Those Washingtonians who have found so much enjoyment in the splendid productions at the Howard Theatre --- and that no finance be attached except the regular collection. 4. That the collection shall be given to the choir of the church where the campaign shall be held and only money for printing shall be deducted. *MRS. E. BAYLOR. Manager* Roger Williams University Jubilee Singers Please Overwhelming Crowds of Both Races. The Jubilee Singers of Roger Williams University, conceded to be the greatest and best set of singers in the South, and by many, to be the best in the country, without regard to race or color, have recently been travelling through the South, and it might be of interest to the race in general, to say that people of both races were filled with joy at hearing them. In Mercer Male College, the White College of Macon, Ga., cheer after cheer up for them, and they were likewise received in Wesleyan Female College. In Dayton, Florida, white people of some of the most prominent hotels requested that they come and give them an entertainment. They accepted two invitations of that type. A white gentleman in one of those hotels said, after "Inflamatus" had been sung, led by Miss Vlora Currin, the Prima Donna Soprano, that he had heard a great artist lead that, and she was backed by 500 volces, and it wasn't sung, a bit better. This happened to be a northern gentleman. Such educational features of our race should be encouraged and should fill us with pride. They may be in Boston this summer. Let us bake 600. One of the finest numbers on the program of the Third Gymnasium Exhibit, given recently at Hampton Institute, has the aesthetic dancing of Miss Carolie B. Cole, who interpreted, with excellent technique and artistic insight, Chopin's "Mazurka," Op. 17, No. 1, and Kreisler's "Liebesfreund," played by Mrs. R. Nathaniel Dett. Miss Cole has completed the postgraduate course at Sargent, has taken courses at Columbia University, and has studied with some of the best private teachers in New York. Miss Cole now a teacher of physical training in the Washington public school. The annual Hampton gymnasium RECORDER COSTELLO will again learn with pleasure that the Quality Amusement Corporation is sending to this city for the entire week of April the 9th George M. Cohan's greatest of all plays entitled "Fifty Miles From Boston." During the run of this show there will be no "supper shows" at the Howard Theatre and patrons are assured of at least two hours and a half of fun and merriment produced by a vehicle that had one of the most successful runs throughout the country. George M. Cohan has introduced to the theater public at this time the we think timely to remark the clever performer mana- producer's remarkable success in the theatrical world is sufficient to bring out our people in large numbers whenever his name appears on a play. As has been Mr. Cohan's habit in writing his plays on this or that topic so in "Fifty Miles From Boston" he has taken the baseball theme and it can be said without exaggeration that he has handled it well. In the first act he has the baseball hero return to his native village where he is presented with a loving cup for his valor on the diamond, having been able to pitch a ball without letting the opposing team score one run in innings. There are plenty of music interwoven in this comedy and the Hibernian management is not going to spare any expense to make "Fifty Miles From Boston" one of the biggest offerings of the season. The chorus is being well trained and the principals are all well selected. The musical numbers and dances are catchy and the scenic effects elaborate. MRS. N. P. HENDERSON The, death of Mrs. Nannle P. Henderson, in Philadelphia, Pa., widow of the late Richard Henderson, mother of Chas F. Henderson and Rosetta V. Nalls, was quite a shock to her many friends here. Her funeral was held from Lincoln Temple, 11th and R Streets, Wednesday, March 28, at 2 P. M., Rev. Smith officiating. Her family and life-long friend, Mrs. Julia C. Collier, have the sympathy of their friends. BUREAU NOTES The Laborers' Relief Association of The Bureau Engraving and Printing, will hold its regular meeting, Sunday, April 1st, at the Y. M. C. A. building. It is hoped the ladies belonging to the association will give us their presence. Mrs. Eva Bloodson, who was taken from her employment, ill last week, is out again. We are glad of her recovery. Mrs. Leathy Butteran, employee of the Bureau, who has been out sick for a year is again confined to her home on account of illness, 706 9th Street S. W. CORPORAL JNO. BRENT DEAD. The passing of Mr. John Brent, at his residence on 18th Street N. W. an old and prominent resident of our city, is a source of genuine sorrow to those who knew him. Mrs. Rebecca Brent, his loving wife, and children survive him. The services were quite impress- ive, conducted by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, 19th Street Baptist Church. Interment at Arlington Cemetery. WAGE EARNERS The meeting of the Woman Wage-Earners' Association on last Sunday afternoon, at 704 Tea Street, N. W., was one of intense interest and great importance. T. Thomas Fortune addressed the Association on the subject of "Waste in Home Keeping." The paper was discussed by Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Emma S. Rose, Miss Bell, Mrs. Marpe, Miss Hope, of the District of Columbia, and several speakers were Mr. Thomas Wallace Swann and Mr. J. E. Johnson. President Jeannette Carter presented her report as a delegate to the Federated-Woman's Clubs of the District of Columbia, at Liberty Hall, March 23, under the auspices of the Federal Bureau of Immigration. As the Association was the only colored one represented in this purpose of the Department of Labor to help unemployed women and girls; it is considered a great honor that the Woman Wage-Earners' Association should have been selected as a member of the committee to map out the rules of all clubs. At the Plymouth Congregational Church 17th and P Streets, Northwest, last Sunday evening, when representatives of the Fraternal organizations of the city was gathered crowding the church to its fullest capacity, Miss Carter, as the representative of the Woman. Wage-Earners. Association made the opening, address and explained in an illuminating manner the purposes of the Association, asking for the cooperation of the women of the District of Columbia and the United States in the helpful purpose of helping our women and girls, who need help in the vital-purpose of making a place to sleep and something to eat. Mr. W. O. Davis acted as Master of Ceremonies on this occasion, under the direction of Mrs. Caroline Cole. FRIENDS OF IRELAND: New York, March 20, 17—Hon. Charles W.

It involved the guarding of wells and a pumping plant that’ supplied water to the Towns of Bishee, Lowell, Warren, Don Luis and Naco. Approximately 30,000 are almost entirely depefdent Upon the. water system, wells in that arid section of Arizona being few and far between, ‘The Ist Separate Battalion was the first unit of the District National Guard tobe reported in readiness to tart, for the “borier following’ the thobilization at Camp ‘Ordway, Fort Myer, Va.. iti response to President Wilson's call on June 18. ‘The battalion started for the border the evening of Shiy 4. Other units which left at that time were Company -A, Signal Corps: N, GD. G. The battalion had ap- proximately 100 men in each of its four companies when it. left, and re- cruits, which were sent to Naco later in, the simmer. brought its strength up, to. an average of about 120 men to the company.

Men from this company did the guard duty about the. plint during the re- mainder of the summer, the three other companies alternating’ hi performing the general gtidrding duties of ‘the camp. The border line is about a-qutarter of a mile, southwest of the point where the Ist'Separate Battalion was camped, Small detatchments-of Mexican troops frequently. were. seen from the camp. Within the town. of Naco. Senora, Which is just across” the ling from Naco, Ari. a ssirrison of several: hun- dyed Mexican troops was stationed.

Elsewhere in The Bee will be read with interest a call by the representative ministers in this country who are to meet at the Metropolitan Methodist Church April.16th. At this meeting the nation will know where the colored Americans stand in this crisis. It will be a rally to the flag of their country. Let us forgive, even if we cannot forget, The declaration of the Plebians was: "Of what consequence is it to us whether our chains are forged by our enemies or our fellow citizens, since the Patricians are rewarded for victories! Let them encounter the dangers of the war." This will not be the ery of the colored American. The colored man has been chained since his emancipation; he has been oppressed; he has been discriminated against; he has been lynched and burned at the stake; his wiyes and children have been slaughtered and butchered without cause; he has appealed to his government for protection; his appeals have been disregarded; notwithstanding, he means to uphold the President of this nation against the invasion of the common foe. He will show his loyalty to his country and his faith in God who still controls the destinies of this nation. This is not a white man's war, as the enemies of the colored Americans have often declared. Our dead wives, sisters and babies now lie in their cold graves while their weeping and sweet ones await the coming of Him who hath declared that the righteous alone shall see Him. Let us forgive although we cannot forget. We have the most abiding faith in our President and millions of other good white citizens who continue to stretch forth their helping hands in defense of our rights. Don't let us make any mistake. This is the time and the hour for the black man to act. Will we embrace the opportunity? PATRICK J GROGAN whose humanitarian acts have made a name for the family which will be memorialized by posterity. The editor of The Bee in common with his people offer condolence to the family of this great and good man and his brother. Stricken, with heart trouble, Patrick J. Grogan, treasurer of Peter Grogan & Sons Co., a lawyer and real estate broker, died Monday, March 19th, at the home of his mother, Mrs. Katherine Grogan; 2700 East Preston street, Baltimore, Md. Mr. Grogan was 43 years old and a graduate of Georgetown Law School. He is survived by a wife, who was Miss Katherine Geraghty, and two sons. OUR LOYALTY THE Bee calls on every true colored American to stand pat in defense of his country. Notwithstanding his treatment by those who are controlled, and influenced by prejudice, it is the duty of the black man to show to this American nation that he is loyal to the flag. America is the colored man's country; he has but one flag and no matter what his impediments are let every able bodied colored man offer himself to his country. He has distinguished himself in every war from the days of the revolution to the present time. The best evidence of the confidence the administration has in the loyalty of the colored American soldier is his designation to guard and protect the Capital of the nation. It is claimed that the coming conflict is not the black man's cause. Every invasion of his country that will effect the white man will effect the colored man. In this conflict the colored man will distinguish himself either as a patriot or a commissioned officer. Our own Major James E. Walker and his gallant officers will distinguish themselfs as they did on the borders of Mexico. Will the black man fight? If you have any, doubt as to his valor, banish the thought. His record as a soldier is emblazoned on the scroll of every conflict. The black soldiers will no longer be the hewer of wood and drawers of water. He will shoulder his gun and march to the front as he marched in every battle in defense of his country. Don't wait until you are drafted black men. Go today and say to the Secretary of War that you offer yourselves as citizens and soldiers. Let every man feel that he is one of the nation's defenders regardless of consequences and conditions. HELPING THE STRIKE. There are hundreds of automobiles in "jitney business" on every line in Washington. The Washington and Electric cars are operated that under the guise of helping the strikers give it out that no colored people are wanted. The Bee advises the colored people to be orderly and make no effort to ride in these second class busses and neither should they encourage people who insist in violating the law. There are some white people so prejudiced that they allow their good senses to run away with their reasoning faculties. Then again there are a few colored men running automobiles who refuse to accommodate their own people. It goes to show that this generation of colored people must be born again. With such men in control of the government, one can readily see what the colored population would suffer. How do such acts help the strikers? THE COLORED SOLDIERS. THE COLORED SOLDIERS. In this hour of peril, when the country is standing on the edge of a cliff, the question was discussed in the Cabinet, to what nationality must the American people look to be saved? There is one nation of people, who have been opposed and continue to be opposed, on account of its color and previous conditions of servitude, in which all Presidents have placed confidence. This nationality stands ready at all times in any hour to defend the country against all foreign invasion—the colored soldier! Today the American people don't know whether it is standing upon their heads or whether it is between two fires or upon the high seas over a submarine. History demonstrates the fact that in every war the colored soldier has shown his loyalty and devotion to his country under all circumstances and conditions. Let us stand by the President. REV. WILLBANKS. The Bee assumes no responsibility for expressions of correspondents, and neither will the ed- itor permit unwarrantable attacks to be made on any person. The communication of Mr. J. C. Cunningham that appeared in last week's issue of The Bee is not endorsed by the editor. From the editor's investigation there is not the slightest grounds for suspicion. The charges made against Rev. Willbanks were made by a few prejudiced and evil-minded persons. There is not a minister in this country who stands higher in the estimation of the people than he does. THOMAS FRAZIER. An Old Washingtonian and Up-to-date Funeral Director and Embalmer. Mr. Thomas Frazier, who is a native of this city and who has been to the school of Embalming at Cincinnati, Ohio, from which institution he graduated, has opened an up-to-date undertaker's establishment, 723 T street northwest. Mr. Frazier attended Howard University for a number of years which not only qualifies him intellectually, and having graduated as an embalmer are sufficient to guarantee competent service. Mr. Frazier has a lady attendant and many other conveniences that can only be found in an up-to-date embalming parlor. Mr. Frazier is polite; has lived in this city for a number of years, and he is well and favorably known to the people in this city. Next week will contain his cut and a complete description of this up-to-date place. FALLING OVER ONE ANOTHER Have you ever seen a scramble to get to the pie counter? Just look and watch the scramble of so-called big colored trimmers and apologists breaking their necks to get in the lime light to convince the administration that they are in earnest in their demonstrations for the President. The Bee is with the administration when it is right, but not for a hope of reward. Segregation in the government departments ought to be eliminated. TRUSTIES ON GUARD. Well, the old trusties are on guard. They will guard the national capital, old Vardances included, who has but little faith in our faithful and trusty allies. These old trusties can always be depended on and the first to receive a stab in the back. Why don't the brave and patriotic Sen from Mississippi, who find so little in the colored Americans, organize the brave noble element in their state and come to the rescue of the President instead of criticising him? MADE LEADERS. Has the colored race ever made a leader, is the question that The Bee will digest in this article. We have our George Washington Murray who is made a leader by and through his own efforts, or his race, and the first colored American to be recognized as a leader by his own race and not by any white man. For the first time, therefore, in the history of the colored Americans, they have made their own leader and he is recognized by them. We must be born again. HIDGE JAMES L. PUGH. The people in this city are anxiously waiting on the President for the nomination of Judge James L. Pugh. There is no man on the bench who is dearer to the people in this city than Judge Pugh. There is one thing that commends him to the people and that is, he not vicious in his sentences for offenses. Being of southern birth and having mixed with colored, colored people, he knows their temperament. He knows their peculiar characteristics. He is better able to judge their innocence or guilt. SPEAKER CLARK So far as Speaker Champ Clark is concerned, he has made an excellent presiding officer. He is a good enough republican for The Bee. The country would like to see him re-elected speaker of the next House. Granddaughters of Fred. Douglass. Mrs. Fredrika Sprague Perry and Mrs. Rosa Sprague Jones of Kansas City, granddaughters of the late Fred Douglass desire to express, through the columns of the "Bee." their appreciation and thanks for the royal wel come and unstinted attention which greeted their home coming after so long an absence. During their sojourn here they were the guests of their uncle and aunt Major and Mrs. C. R. Douglas; Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Washington, 936 S street, who were host and hostess to Mrs. Perry; and Miss Charity, 1334 V street, of whom Mrs. Jones was a guest. FIX MEMORIAL SERVICE.

Smith Makes Improvements—Added a Most Accomplished Assistant—Mrs. Hazel D. Johnson. Mrs. Mary M. Smith, no doubt one of the most competent hair culturists in the city, 1024 You Street northwest, has added to her parlor Mrs. Hazel D. Johnson, who far surpasses any that she has ever had in her employment. Madame Smith knows the business of hair culturist. Her patrons consist of the leading people in this city. She does manicuring, hair dressing, facial massage, scalp treatment and shampooing. She carries a superior quality of toilet preparations. Bring your children there. Keep their scalp in trim, and care for their hair while young. She is a most general and entertaining lady. Once in her parlers you will return. That is why these parlers succeed. Here is where you receive first class treatment by first class and competent artists. Nothing becomes a lady more than a beautiful hand, with well manicured nails. Your face was made not only as a necessary requisite, but to keep in a good condition. Madame Smith's parlors add beauty to your, face and neatness to your face, to do to her parlors and be convinced. Mrs. Mary M. Smith, 1024 You street northwest. MR. FORTUNE LEAVES. Mr. Thomas Fortune, who has been the resident manager of the New York Age in Washington during the past winter, left the city last Tuesday for Trenton, N. J., where he will remain for a short time, preliminary to taking up the work of journalism in another city. Mr. Fortune has made many prolonged personal friendships while here, greatly to the advantage of the Age. Miss Jeannette Carter in his absence will assume the management of the Age, at 609 F street northwest. Her wide acquaintance and accomplishments as a newspaper correspondent will enable her to give the news character of the Washington Letter, all that should be desired in such. Mr. Fortune will return to the city from time to time to overlook the work for the Bureau here. DROPS DEAD IN PULPIT. Rev. Herman Franklin Expires White Preaching to Congregation. Rev. Herman Franklin, colored, fifty-one years old, pastor of Pllgrim Baptist Church, 3d and Van Streets S. W., dropped dead while preaching to his congregation Sunday afternoon about 1:30 o'clock. Many offers of first aid came from members of the congregation when their pastor suddenly stopped his discourse, reeled and fell to the floor. It first was believed he had been exhausted by his lengthy sermon and that he would recover and probably proceed. Emergency efforts proved futile, lowering the death rate almost before any of the seasons reached him. Coroner Nevitt permitted friends to take the body to the minister's residence, 915 3d Street S. W. He made an investigation and gave a certificate of death from natural causes. EX-CONGRESSMAN MURRAY Speaks Under the Auspices of the Ministers' Conference. The Baptist Ministers' Conference, having been made conscious of the importance of the great race redeeming message which ex-Congressman Murray is delivering, has invited him to deliver it at Metropolitan Baptist Church on Wednesday, April 11th, 8 p. m., on "Why the Afro-American Is Producing an Undesirable Man in His Native Environment." All who are interested in the welfare and advancement of the race, and desire to learn more of ways and means of aiding it, should hear him. WIRELESS OPERATOR. William Jonnings Newcom, a student at the Dunbar High School, and son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Newsom, of 2002 13th Street, N. W., is the first colored young man who successfully passed the examination as a wireless operator. A license was issued him by the Department of Labor. The Bee congratulates him and wishes him continued success! LABOR ELEMENT GONE. Falls Church, Va. March 26th, 1917. Fairfax and Alexandria counties will sadly miss the colored labor element this coming summer. Contractors and friends in the north are placing alluring and enticing offers before these men. One contractor in Falls Church, Joseph Tinner, has been A. E. REV. C. HAROLD STEPTEAU. Martinsburg, West Va. Special to the Bee. A large and enthusiastic audience greeted Mrs. Robt. L. Pendleton of Washington, D. C. Sunday night at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Rev. Thomas Reid, pastor, and Monday night at Mt. Zion M. E. Church of which Rev. Simpson R. Hughes is pastor. Mrs. Pendleton's topic on Sunday night was, "our childhood" and on Monday night, "Race Building." The messages she brought to this place will not soon be forgotten. asked to bring a gang of thirty men, and Mr. Granville Parker has been asked to bring a similar number. Nearly fifty men will leave the town of Falls Church. Last year the crews of the threshing machines that travelled throughout the county were composed largely of boys not sixteen years old, and the work of these and other working crews was seriously handicapped. Farmers are going out of the dairy business and general farming because of the inability to get labor. Useful workers at odd jobs who remain home are able to pick and choose well paying work, as they never have before, and they are in demand. Many of the workers left last year because but remained north during the winter and sent, for their families. The poor school facilities, lack of local improvements where colored people live and attempted segregation are among the causes that have aided the exodus. Like unto the seven plagues of Egypt, it will take much to soften the Pharaoh-like hearts of the ruling class before they are ready to do unto others as they wish to be done by. The colored people in this town are hopefully and prayerfully expecting the Supreme Court to undo that hateful legislation known as segregation of homes. It is the last straw. A.

Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth. QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over 25 years' experience; this is a guarantee that QUINADE is as near pharmaceutically correct as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care, and nothing enters this high class preparation unless it is of the highest purity. Seeby's QUINASOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks. Both articles are sold by druggists and dealers at 25c each, or will be sent direct by Seeby Drug Co., 79 E. 130th St. New York City, on receipt of price.

The music was furnished by a vested choir of thirty-two boys. The Rev. Father Dempsey, of the House of Studies of the Cazaholic University, preached a strong sermon on the alms, duties and tenents of the Holy Name Society, claiming the first Holy Name Society was formed by Jesus Christ himself, when he selected His Apostles and Disciples at the start of the Christian dispensation, and though the order was not ratified until the 12th century, that was the birth of the Society. the Sacred Church. President John Hadley Doyle also spoke and paid especial attention to the colored men, saying, among other things, that the salvation of the colored man, whether in a religious sense or otherwise, lay in the Catholic Church, and that by membership in the Holy Name Society; that end would naturally come to them.

This great hotel is visited by the best known Colored Ameri- Easy to Master if Patience and Common Sense Are Used. THREE METHODS OF TEACHING One is the Pioneer French System, another the Dual Control System and a Combination of the Two Which is Used For Training War Pilots. Almost every one has seen an aeroplane in flight, but with the present day layman the interest is centered more on the airman than on the machine with which he does the flying. Naturally, writes J. G. Gilpatric in Popular Mechanics, the first question is, "How did he learn to fly?" Flying is not hard to learn. The essential assets are common sense and patience. Nothing else is required. If a man has common sense he will realize how safe flying has become and he will enjoy a reasonable self confidence. If he is patient he will not hurry through his course. A slipshod knowledge of flying is more dangerous than none at all. By taking things easy a month or six weeks spent at a good aviation school will make a raw layman into a fairly well trained filer, and it will give him the best sport of his entire lifetime. Of necessity the pioneers of aviation taught themselves the then difficult and dangerous art, and all airmen in the world today owe their flying ability to the Wrights, Bleriot and others of the men who went before. There are flying today a number of airmen who entered the game, in the early stages and who by luck and perseverance mastered the art with very little outside assistance. These men were without more than a rudimentary idea of the very principles of flight and later realized the dangers they had undergone. They knew that the average person could scarcely survive a self administered course in airmanship. Aviation had come to stay, and a number of firms started regular schools in which the knowledge of the earlier experiments could be disseminated among the ever, growing numbers of enthusiasts. There are three basic methods of teaching flying—the so called French system, the dual control system and a combination of the two largely used today for training war pilots. The French system was the first in general use and consisted in teaching oneself to fly by the constant criticism advice and demonstration of a competent pilot instructor. The pupil was given a heavy, low powered and worn out machine incapable of flying—usually called a "taxi"—and was given practice in running the machine on the ground. In this way he accustomed himself to the speed of an airplane, the incessant roar of the motor and the use of the controls. When the pupil could run down the field in a perfectly straight line and do it consistently he was given "hops." "Hops" were made on a machine but slightly better than the taxi and consisted in making short jumps across the field at a height of four to five feet. This was the most trying part of the entire course, as at this point smashes were most likely to happen. If the pupil misjudged his height from the ground or in his enthusiasm tried to stretch his hop into a sustained flight the ending was usually disastrous. But if he went about matters sensibly he would soon be promoted to "straights," or flights in a straight line, about half a mile long. The usual height in this work was twenty-five or thirty feet from the ground. The dual control system teaches wholly by demonstration and practice in actual air work. A high powered machine fitted with duplicate controls is used, and the pupil starts by riding with the instructor and watching him work. By simply resting his hands and feet on the controls the novice can feel the amount of motion necessary to handle the machine. Gradually the machine is given over to the pupil, the pilot being ever on the alert to correct his mistakes and to demonstrate new points. As the pupil becomes more and more skillful the pilot requires harder evolutions. The dual control system of teaching is somewhat hard on the instructor, as it often necessitates five and six hours in the air every day for weeks at a time. The average time, in the air required to train a pupil by this method is 400 minutes, which is divided into flights of twenty minutes each. It is now used in this country by all the government schools and the private firms. The combination or English system consists of equal parts of ground work alone and air work with the instructor. As the pupil becomes more advanced the ground work is gradually dispensed with and air work—still with the instructor—substituted. Finally the pupil files alone and after some practice is sent for his license. In effect a bulletin of the United States department of agriculture asks why the American farmer cannot put straw to the same use as it is put by the European farmer. In Europe the farmer knows as well as the American farmer that straw is not liked by stock, but instead of burning it or otherwise wasting it the European farmer chops it up, mixes it with beets, mangels, silage or other feeds and makes it so palatable that it can be fed to good advantage.

Baker, Jr., Turn Over Pleasure Boats For Use In War. Washington.—Five of the best known, largest and costliest yachts under the American flag have been offered free by their owiers to the navy department. The five are J. P. Morgan's Corsair, Mrs. E. H. Harriman's Sultan, John Borden's Kunawha, Mrs. John Kennedy's Cherokee and George F. Baker, Jr.'s, Viking. The Noma, owned by Vincent Astor, has already been offered. In addition to the yachts mentioned the enrollment includes Daniel Bacon's sixty foot power boat Quest, Frederick K. Schermerhorn's Free Lance, William K. Patten's Wasp, William M. Guthrie's Meuden and George C. Sherman's Wana. Commodore Robert E. Tol and A. 1. Du Pont sent word they were having Mary Photo by American Press Association. MRS. E. H. HARRIMAN. constructed fast patrol boats, each 110 feet long and built under specifications furnished by the navy department. These boats also will be offered free to the government. The enrollment list Includes 275 other yachts offered the government for sale or charter at the government's own terms. The complete list marks a long stride, toward the 500 yessels considered as the minimum needed for the defense to the naval district from New London to Barmenet. Many of the owners have also offered to supply crews at their own expense. In a letter offering the Sultana Mrs. Harriman expressed regret that she could not serve for national defense. The Corsair probably is the best known yacht of the enrollment. The Corsair yachts have always been in the J. P. Morgan family, the first one having been built in 1880. In 1898 Corsair II, was turned over to the government for service. The present one is 275 feet over all, 248 feet on water line, 28 feet beam and 15 feet draft. In the appraisal of the late J. P. Morgan's estate it was set down as worth $135,000, but its actual value is considerably more. John Borden's Kaniawha was built in 1890 for the late II. II. Rogers and sold finally to Morton Plant. It is 227 feet over all, with twin sewers and triple expansion engines of six cylinders. Its beam is 24 feet 5 inches and its draft 10 feet. It has taken several speed cups. The Suitann has been valued at $138,000. It was built in 1800 for John R. Drexel, who took many long cruises in the vessel. It is 187 feet over all, 28 feet beam and 15 feet deep. Mrs. John Kennedy's Cherokee was built in 1900. It is 35 feet on the water line, 15 feet beam and 6 feet draft. The Viking, owned by Commodore Baker, is a steam yacht with clipper bow. TRUSTED TAR AND WON. Night Court Clerk Paid Fine and Got It Back by Mail. New York.—With the assurance that he "may always rely upon the word of a United States sailor," Chief Clerk Edward T. Tyrel of the men's night court received a letter inclosing $8 from Louis Feldmann, a sailor on the buttship Pennsylvania. Feldmann was arrested several months ago for disorderly conduct, and when arraigned before Magistrate Ten Eyek in the night court was found guilty, with the alternative of spending three days in jail or paying a fine of $2. He pleaded with the magistrate to be lenient, as it was his first offense, and he was peniless. The magistrate, however, was firm in his decision. Feldmann then asked him for the sake of the navy not to send a United States sailor to prison, but in vain. Chief Clerk Tyrel, who was listening, dug down into his jacket and paid the fine. Feldmann, upon leaving the courtroom, assures the clerk that he would pay back the money. When Tyrel received the special delivery letter he was much surprised, for, as he said: "I had kissed those three dollars a fond though reluctant farewell." AN INTERESTING STORY The Lincoln Penny Versus Christ "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me." Upon the execution of this implied command, rests the salvation of the human family. We need not seek with troubled and anxious faces, for the means by which we may hope to save fallen man, for Christ, standing almost in the shadow of Calvary's cross, spoke in tones that have reverberated down through the ages these words: "If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me." Yet, with the way of saving souls for Christ made so plain that the most untutored mind can understand, man has ever been seeking some other, more convenient way. Many have sought to bring men to Christ by holding up before them a beautiful church service; some by fine oratory and scientific sorrow. Some have tried to get men to Christ by introducing into the church things that were purely worldly; while still others have winked at sin and lowered the moral standards in order to bring into the church those who would not conform to the high Christian standard. But all these methods have failed. Men are not brought to Christ by any such means. On a cold Sunday morning, with the ground covered with a beautiful mantel of snow which had fallen the night before, I walked into The Florida Ave. Baptist Sunday School and sat in the Pastor's class and studied with the other men there, the beautiful lesson of Christ cleaning the temple. There were not many children present as the weather was cold, and perhaps their parents thought it best not to send them. However, those who had come out were happy and jolly in spite of the cold. No, doubt their high spirits were due to the fun they had had in the snow while on their way to school, and probably to their thoughts of the fun with their sleds on the morrow. Children love the snow; it is so pure and clean like their own little lives. There must be a bond of sympathy between them. We all studied the lesson and learned how Christ had driven the money lenders out of the temple. We also had brought to us that the striving after money, and the simple seeking after Christ, do not run along parallel lines. When the church leaves the path to Christ and travels the road leading to the dollar, or tries to travel both at the same time, we may be sure that Christ is displeased and will withdraw himself and confound us in our crave for money. Thus the lesson ended and we took our places in the main room of the Sunday School to hear the reports of the different classes and to listen to the review of the lesson. After the usual routine had been gone over by the Superintendant, the Pastor was called upon to conduct the review. I was very much disappointed in the Pastor's effort, for, instead of impressing the children with the importance of due reverence for the house of God, he left the real thoughts of the lesson to comment on the small attendance and to make excuses for it. There was very little review of the lesson. I was very much disappointed and surprised. Imagine my complete surprise and great mortification, when the Pastor paused, took out a little box and selected from it a number of shiny new Lincoln pennies. Holding them aloft, he requested all the children who had brought in new scholars to come forward and receive a Lincoln penny each. This was the fulfillment of a promise made the Sunday before. "Bring me a new scholar and I will give you a Lincoln penny." Tears were almost brought to my eyes. How could he so soon have forgotten the lesson of Christ driving the money lenders out of the temple Here was the same thing only viewed from a different angle. If anything, this case was worse. Here we see a man called to hold up Christ and him crucified, holding aloft a Lincoln penny; a man whose duty is to help us cleanse our lives, deliberately poluting the lives of innocent little children; a man called to teach that service for Christ should be a service of love, making it a service for money. We cannot measure the harm done on that cold Sunday morning, as the seeds of dishonesty sown then must germinate in time. The suggestion to deceive by inducing some weak child from the street to come in solely for the penny, was held up before the child; Dishonesty in many of its worse forms was then and there sown in the child's life when he is most easily influenced. In after years, when some one of those boys and girls, in his or her greed for money, has lost all thoughts of early moral teachings and has nourished around on the sea of life with no Christ as a riot to guide, and has become a human moral derenct, may he, or she not, be able to look back to this particular. Sunday morning when he was given a Lincoln penny for doing that which should have been done for love, and probably mark it as the beginning of his life or sin and shame? The jails and the penitentiaries and houses of probation are filled with men and women before whom, when cannibal, the dollar was kept where Christ should have been. This rassor head up the Lincoln penny and added six or eight doubled dollars to his school. Just ten squares away from this Sunday School, Oxyz Smith was nursing up Christ, and men and women then and poor came to Christ by the ministers. This pastor who held onto the Lincoln penny could not hit a small church, Oxyz Smith, nursing up Christ, could not get a church large enough to accommodate the congregation. This pastor, who placed the penny above Christ, could scarcely draw the congregation class to heal him, Oxyz Smith nursing up Christ, then was müssen from the secretary to some CONSULT US FIRST ALL KINDS OF PRINTING Linotype Composition Electric Power Presses TRIANGLE PRINTING CO.

The word "Rudaiyat" The word "Rudaiyat" is the plural of "rubal", meaning quattrain, and the plural is used to denote a collection of quattrains. The form has a verse scheme of its own and is the distinctive and most ancient Persian meter. It is said to have been invented by Rudaiyat, the earliest of the great Persian poets. Nearly all the Persian poets include Rudaiyat among their works. Edward FitzGerald made it an English form. · Money Panic.

The great Holy Name Society, that wonderful body of Calhôlic laymen in the Roman Catholic Church, are doing wonderful work for the uplift and regeneration of those that follow the life of the Saviour, and among our Catholic colored population the results are being borne out. three fold. There are in the District of Columbia, three separate and distinct churches devoted to our people: St. Augustine, St. Cyprians and Holy Incarnation, and each has a splendidly organized Holy Name Society, while at Holy Trinity in Georgetown, in conjunction with the White organisation there is also a Society of one hundred and sixty-eight Colored men. At St. Dominics Church, they too, have a large number of colored members affiliated with the regular organization, and it is a beautiful religious sight, to see them all approaching the Sacred Altar to receive Holy Communion. The president of the Washington Holy Name Society is Mr. John Nadly Doyle, who is devoting nearly all of his time in working up an interest in this wonderful Society; and his mission work, among the colored churches especially is meriting much commendation from the people of their faith. On Monday evening he visited St. Augustine Church to meet the St. Augustine Holy Name Cadets, a junior affair, that has attracted wide attention wherever they have appeared in the parades of the Society. President Doyle told the youngsters of the pleasure it was to be there among them, to facilitate both the Senior and Junior Societies of St. Augustine for their Catholicity and steadfastness in their work as Holy Name devotees, which meant clean lines and upright men and benefactors of their race. He told of the life of Jesus, and how difficult it was for a speaker to get down to the level of the boy and hold their attention, hence he took the tenth chapter of John and in a simple way told the story of the "Good Shepherd," which had the effect President Doyle desired, for he kept the cadets interested until the finish, when they gave him a standing vote of thanks. President Doyle said in part: "I quote the gospel John 10—11 to 16th verse reading it from the Bible." "I am the Good Shepherd." My dear friends in the Bible—there is no sweeter music in any of the parables, than those beautiful words I have just quoted—"I am the Good Shepherd," for in it, and by it the very essence of what Jesus Christ taught when He came on earth to work the redemption of man and start the Christian dispensation. And then the gospel continues—"I know mine, and mine know me. As the Father Knoweth me, and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for my sheep.

I have, that are not of this fold, them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one shepherd and one fold." To us who follow the lessons of Jesus there is a sincere solace in the parable, as it enters into our every day life from almost every angle, but to those who have penetrated into Biblical countries and seen the shepherds tending their flocks in real life, the beautiful lesson—"I am the Good Shepard" comes home directly, and they take in the Wisdom of God in using the shepherd and the sheep to illustrate. His wonderful church. Why my dear friends, I as a boy had pigeons as pets, and I know every one by name, and they know me, and watched for my coming to give them their food; so in Syria and the other lands spoken of in the Bible, the shepherd knew his sheep by name, and the sheep know their master's voice and followed him everywhere. It was, and is, a common custom for shepherds and their flocks to meet at the watering spots, the shepherds to rest and talk, while the sheep quenched their thirst in the cooling waters, and then when that was over, each to fall in and follow the crowing of its shepherd as he called them onward towards home. Then my dear good friends, getting back to the parable, you can picture to yourselves the foolish little sheep, who tired of the humdum of following the shepherd day after day, longed for the delights of the fields across the divide, where the grass looked greener and the clover richer, yearning like a human being to revel in the pleasure of temptation and in the joy of feasting, rather than keeping within the fold under obedience to the shepherd. And so, the longing grew, and then biding her time to steal away and drink in the things of evil, one day the foolish little one dropped back from the fold, and when the shepherd and the枕ward made a turn in the dell, the枕ward sheep stole away and scampered to the hill of Sin. Ah, it was sweet and pleasant to chew the rich clover, that abounded while the sun shone bright on the green hill, but bye and bye, the sun dropped down behind the hills, and a cold air came in the sea, and dear friends, the air is chilly and cold in that land of Syria after night. Sin is alluring my people, even when all is bright and light, but then darkness blurs the sight, then it is the worst of abinations. Hence when it was real dark and cold, the little sheep looked for a place to rest and keep warm, a weary, worn and tired one, wishing to be back with the flock, where all would be safe and snug—but hark—what was that bark on the night air? What causes the little sheep to start up with 'fright' and shake with fear? It's the cry of a wolf—the demon of the forest—and the little foolish wayward sheep starts to run, hoping to escape the fangs of the wolf—and in its mad rushes, is caught in bramble and thorns, its fleece, torn away andaping wounds are made, from which blood fastly flows, blood that heightens the appetite of the oncoming wolf. Like the Sinner of the world the plight of the little sheep is bad. Meanwhile back in the cover of the field, the shepherd has counted his flock and he finds only pinety and nine—one is missing—so he gathers them together, closes the pen and turns back to search for the missing one, just as God does for all those that need Him, no matter what the stress of weather. The cry of the wolf is getting nearer and nearer to the bleating sheep, now held down by the bramble, and all hope seems vanished, when lo, along the trail comes back the voice of the shepherd—The Good Shepherd—and just as the wolf was about to devour the sheep—as the Devil does all Sinners—the Good Shepherd picks up the wayward one, and folding it tenderly to his breast for safety, drives away the wolf which is Sin—and retracing his steps, restores the sinful one to the protection of his flock—The Church. This, dear friends, is the parable of the lost sheep, when the Good Shepherd, forsaking the Ninety and nine, who are safe, retraces his steps to Free—Special Mascot for 1917 Good Luck.

What Is Taking Place in the Great Nebula in Andromeda. We look today on the things of a century, a millennium, ago. Light traveling at the rate of 180,300 miles a second requires more than four years to come from the nearest star, perhaps thousands and tens of thousands, of years from the farthest; hence in every case they are not what is, but what was. Thousands of nebulae have been discovered in the heavens. The spiral pattern of some few nebulae has long been confirmation of the theory that they are the real beginners of a solar system. But there has recently come in much evidence of the spiral character of other nebulae that the conclusion seems forced upon us that practically all are in a state of rotation and are hence supplying the centrifugal force to throw off the rings which roll themselves up into planets revolving about central suns. When opportunity is given to look directly down upon a nebula there results startling evidence of its being in rotation. There is no other way of explaining its remarkable details of structure. Some look like the propeller blades of a motorbait; some are actually caught in the act of throwing off rings which are seen condensing at certain centers, rolling themselves into planets, beneath it to travel around their suns. The great nebula in Andromeda gives striking evidence that it is working out another and a greater solar system than our own. In short, it seems that in studying the nebula we are being admitted to the very workshop of the universe and are permitted to watch the actual process of turning out worlds. Nothing in the heavens is better fitted to fill the very soul with awe. As in the case of the "fixed stars," our lives are too brief, too foresight our eyes, to detect the actual motion. Frederick Campbell's "Suns and Worlds In the Making." WAR CORRESPONDENTS. They Don't Have the Liberty Now They Had In Former Times. In his book, "Over the Front In an Aeroplane," the author, Ralph Pulitzer, tells of the experiences and the treatment of the press representatives in the great European war. He says: "The war correspondent does not buy himself a motor, because if he did he would not be allowed to use it. All he buys himself is a railway ticket. When it comes to motoring he is packed with an assortment of fellow correspondents into military autos specially assigned by the army authorities. "He does not buy a shelter test or a sleeping bag, because at a certain scheduled hour every evening the staff officer who has him and his colleagues in tow will lead him into an excellent hotel in some large town or other and assign him to a comfortable bedroom engaged ahead. He does not buy canned provisions, because before going to bed the officer buys him an appetizing dinner, follows it up with a good breakfast the next morning and at lunch time introduces him to a courteous general or at a pinch to another hotel keeper, by one or the other of whom he is supplied with a prearranged and excellent lunch. "He does not buy a revolver, because it would be gently but firmly taken away from him if he did. "If he is sensible he does not even buy himself binoculars, for the officers by whom he will find himself uninterruptedly accompanied will be glad to let him use theirs, and, though he may not look so picturesque without them, he will be much more comfortable if he has any hands and knees work to do. "Finally he will not have a word to say as to where he wants to go or what he wants to see...for that has all been settled in advance." Where Gannets Swarm. One of the most remarkable sight in the world Is Bird island, in South Africa, for the reason that during some months of the year it is literally covered with gannets. Not a foot of ground is to be seen anywhere. Day after day thousands of gannets strut around, and they are so close to each other that the whole island seems actually alive. The sight can never be forgotten. She Meant Well. An Independence bride, in order to show her love for her husband, decided to launder her husband's shirts. She doubled the amount of starch. When she removed them from the line she couldn't get them through the back door. She didn't cry, but sent them to a laundry.-Kansas City Journal. Winded. "Can't you let me have something on account today, Mr. Jones?" asked the bill collector. "It has been running a long time, you know,"— "Yes, I know it has," snapped Jones.

New York.—Possessing a mansion in the metropolis apparently is not without its troubles. Recently Andrew Carnegie paid $1,750,000 for the privilege of deciding who shall be his neighbors to the south. A few years ago Mr. Carnegie similarly protected himself to the north, where a select colony of homes has since been established. In the case of Mr. Carnegie these seemingly wasted millions work a double purpose. In addition to preventing undesirable construction they become very profitable investments, as the land is turned over piece by piece to persons who will pay handsomely for the privilege of joining a millionaire's home colony. Commodore Arthur Curtiss James conducted a similar protective buying movement on Park avenue. He bought up all the available lands adjacent to his $1,000,000 residence at Sixty-ninth street and gathered about him, persons who were interested in adding to the high character of that residence district. Both Mr. Carriegie and Mr. James frustrated attempts to establish big apartment buildings near their homes. Obviously the wealthy home owner must always keep a vigilant eye on his surroundings to prevent undesirable encroachment. Notable instances of this character were furnished in the Rockefeller block on Fifty-fourth street. Within the last two years John D. Rockefeller, Jr., made several protective purchases to prevent trade encroachment. Mr. Rockefeller, apparently not without considerable trouble, has thus far kept "the intruder" away from the homes of his father and himself. SEVEN GERMAN SAILORS IN DASH FOR FREEDOM But Marines and Police at Philadelphia Put Them Back Philadelphia. Under cover of darkness seven sailors of the German commerce raiders Kronprinz Wilhelm and Prinz Eitel Friedrich, interned at the Philadelphia navy yard, attempted to escape, all seven, being captured by magpies and police after shots were fired at the fugitives. A sentry heard several splashes in the back channel and fired a warning shot. A police guard near the channel say they saw four of the German sailors swimming about fifty yards from the interned vessels and fired their revolvers over the heads of the men. The four Germans turned and swam back to the sea wall, surrendering without resistance. Meantime as a marine detachment was rushed toward the back channel three other German sailors slipped into the meadows. Running along the sea wall to avoid the barbed wire barricade partly endricting the internec ships, they tried to slip just a sentry. The sentry fired and ran toward the little group. Mounted police gullled over the meadows and caught two of the fleeing men. The other one was found soon afterward hiding behind a bush. While the hunt was in progress the powerful searchlight of the cruiser Salem was swung back and forth over the channel and the meadows. BLIZZARD CARRIES OFF GIRL Without a Cry For Help, She Is Swept Away Near City Hall. New York.—A storm which struck New York reached its climax at the municipal building about noontime, when Mr. Blizzard, who had blown in from Philadelphia, breezed up to the marriage license office with Miss Veronica C. Foley and roared out a request for a marriage license. Mr. Blizzard said that his full name was Nathaniel S. Blizzard; that he was twenty-one years old and lived at 2426 South Second street, Philadelphia. The young lady gave her residence as 90 Millin street, Philadelphia, and her occupation as stenographer. City Clerk Seally performed with lightning like rapidity the ceremony which will enable them to face the storms of life together, and the Blizzards returned to Philadelphia. Bismarck, N.

His bride is fifty. "Going to start life all over again," said the bridegroom, "I don't believe in bachelors or in widows. They ought to be taxed." Mr. Russell never took a drop of medicine until he was 103, and two doctors and a nurse had their hands full getting him to take it then. FIND HOLY WATER MORE THAN TWO CENTURIES OLD Mas Buried With Body of Seneca Brave Near Rochester, N. Y. Albany, N. Y.—A vessel of holy water buried with a Seneca brave more than 200 years ago has been unearthed in an old Indian cemetery near Rochester and brought to the State museum here by A. H. Dewey of Rochester, president of the State Archaeological society, and Dr. R. B. Berr, provincial archaeologist of Ontario, Canada. A. C. Parker, the state archaeologist, who is a Seneca Indian, expressed the opinion that the brave of his tribe who held the vessel chased to his breast was buried not later than 1687. In that year the Indian village of Toulotton, fourteen miles from Rochester, in the burial ground of which the vessel was found, was destroyed by a punitive expedition, headed by Count de Norville, then governor of Canada, in retaliation for Iroquois raids on the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The burial ground is now part of a farm owned by John G. Dann. The box was found five feet under ground. The skeleton, unearthed with the box, had been buried in the Indian way, with arms folded and knees drawn up under the chin, in solid sand and clay. Mr. Parker believes that the Indian was a convert to Christianity and that some Jesuit missionary had given him the holy water. LATEST RUSSIAN REVOLT AND PREVIOUS UPRISING LATEST RUSSIAN REVOLT AND PREVIOUS UPRISING Petrograd, Russia. — Comparing the present revolution with the great but unsuccessful uprising of 1905, certain likenesses and still greater differences are to be observed. Both began with food rioting and widespread industrial strikes. After weeks *of sporadic* *strikes throughout the empire during the Japanese war, strikes which were without central leadership, a general strike of government workers and others came in January, 1905. Liberal leaders and revolutionaries alike were taken off their feet by the spontaneous uprising. Then both liberals and revolutionaries went to the support of the strikers and endeavored to change the industrial revolt into a political revolution. The situation grew so serious that the earl put Petrograd under martial law and made General. Trepoff military governor. The present revolt is a direct result of that of 1005. The chief difference is that the uprising which has led to the abdication of Czar Nicholas and the establishment of a democracy in Russia is that the liberty leaders carefully worked out the plans for the recent coup d'état. Every detail of the program was, studied with care, and nothing was left to chance. There was one element of uncertainty—the attitude of the army. When soldiers refused to fire on strikers and food rioters the revolutionists knew the battle was won, and the overthrow of the ministry followed. USE SOUP AS A FOOD. Woman Economic Expert Says It Will Reduce Cost of Living. Pittsburgh.—That the disappearance of the soup pot in the American kitchen was one of the reasons for the present high cost of living was a statement made by Miss Pearl MacDonald, economic expert, in her address before prominent Pittsburgh women on home economics at the Pensylvania State college. "The American housewife does not follow the example of her European sister." Miss MacDonald stated. "In the making of soups, meats and bone can be used which are not used at all by the American women. I also would recommend the making of clear soups only on rare occasions, as in the clear soups you remove substances which are highly nutritious and which possess food value." TOMBSTONE BALL REVOLVING. An Ornament In A Cemetery Proves a Puzzle. Harrisonville, Mo.—There is a tombstone in Orient cemetery here, that puzzles local scientists. The tombstone consists of a pedestal on which rests a ball of granite two feet in diameter. With the exception of the spot that rested on the pedestal the ball was given a high polish. Now, the ball has turned until the unpolished spot has moved about one sixty-fourth of the distance of the complete circle. A Harrisonville mathematician ascertained the exact hour the monument was set and by his computations declares the ball will make one revolution in 100 years. Champion Corn Husker. Axtel, Kan.-Miss Agnes Schmidt is offered as the champion female corn husker of Kansas on a record made here recently. Miss Schmidt, lives southwest of town.

PUT ELEFHANTS TO WORK. Germans Using Old Coasts For Hauling In Berlin Streets. Berlin.—Of the extraordinary sights seen in the snow blocked streets of Berlin' the employment of huge work- ing elephants for traffic purposes is certainly the strangest. The animals belong to a circus, and every morning they may be seen on their way draw- ing heavy carts loaded with iron boil- ers, each weighing 15,000 pounds. No eight horses would be sufficient to move these huge wagons, but to the gi- gantic pachyderms it seems as child's play. If they find an auto bus stuck in a snowdrift, with panting, exhausted horses trying to pull it out, the working elephant lends a friendly forehead, and in a trice the stranded vehicle is afloat again.

RAILROAD CONTROL Favor Reorganization of Interstate Commerce Commission, Giving It Exclusively the Powers and Functions of Overlapping and Conflicting Commissions of Many States. Washington. — The rumors that the federal government would assume closer control of transportation problems by establishing a new cabinet portfolio persist, despite the fact that Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio, who was said to be slated for the place, declared last week that there was no foundation for them. A representative of the railway executives' advisory committee of New York says that this story of a new cabinet place is doubtless a distorted outgrowth of the attitude of railway management in favoring complete federal regulation. Mr. Willard is an active member of the advisory committee. The proposal of the advisory committee, according to Assistant Chairman Francis H. Sissou, is not a creation of a new cabinet portfolio. Such a move the committee deems unnecessary. It favors instead the reorganization of the Interstate Commerce Commission, giving it exclusively the powers and functions of the overlapping and conflicting commissions of forty-eight states. "Railroad men realize that in this critical hour of the country's history they must join with the other business interests of the nation in promoting the common good," said Mr. Sisson. "The situation calls for prompt and efficient transportation preparedness for either war or peace. We place our case in the public's hands. The solution of the problem awaits its understanding and 'constructive' action. Whatever may have been the mistakes of the past, our desire today is to serve the public in the most efficient manner possible, to have the transportation business treated as the nation's business, to be regulated on behalf of all the states and in the public interest." The fundamental contention of the advisory committee is that the constitution of the United States places the regulation of interstate commerce in the hands of congress to whatever extent congress chooses to exercise it. State commissions and legislatures, it holds, can exercise only so much authority as congress falls to use. The states, however, have gradually extended their activities in this direction until there is a multiplicity of conflicting regulations. The railroads now serve forty-nine conflicting masters, and railroad men say that this condition makes it increasingly difficult to serve the public properly. They feel, however, that the suggestion of a new cabinet, portfolio of transportation, while not likely to be adopted, is indicative of the increasing appreciation in governmental circles of the importance of federal control of railroads. This control would cover supervision, of railroad securities, federal incorporation of interstate carriers, regulation of rates, a regional and functional division of the work of the Interstate Commerce Commission, restriction of rate suspension to not more than sixty days and giving the Interstate Commerce Commission power to prescribe minimum as well as maximum rates. BOY SLAYER INSANE. Gilman Sent to Hospital For Sixty Years, For Doublo Shooting. Williamite, Conn., Leo N. Gilman, nineteen, who entered the home of his cousin, Edward Gilman, and murdered him with a bullet fired from a revolver and then walked a mile to the home of his grandfather and shot him, was declared insane by a jury in the superior court. Judge Gardiner Green sentenced Gilman to the Hospital For insane for sixty years. Dr. Allen Ross Biedendorf, a noted alpinist for the defense, and Dr. T. S. Erdman of the Norwich State Insane hospital, testified that the boy was insane. A note written by Gilman after the shooting was found in a cupidion in his room and gave reason to believe he was jealous of his cousin: CHAMPION CAT DEAD. For Twenty-one Years. He Had Been Foe of All Rodents. Wichita, Kan.—Fuzz is dead. Fuzz held the undisputed distinction of being the oldest cat in Wichita. For twenty-one years he had been the foe of all rats and mice that attempted to pay a temporary visit to the houses in the vicinity of 532 Ida avenue. He also held the heavyweight championship felling honors of that district. Fuzz was owned by J. S. Simon, a postoffice employee, and had made his home with the family for more than a score of years. Mr. Simon declared that the death of the cat made him feel as though he had lost one of his best friends. 2. Her 103d Birthday.
