Education cannot solve it t'hris- tianizatlon will not solve It. The only solution is a practical appli cation of the law to restrain the criminal tendency of the race and fix his status In society. That can not be done until the Fifteenth Amendment is repealed' and the Foutreenth modified. In truth, no plan has been proposed for the so lution. or the partial solution of the problem, whose application is not prevented by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. Those* barriers must be removed before anything practical can be done. As 1 stated a moment ago, the American people did not approve these amendments. They are the children of war—conceived in ha tred and brought forth in a spasm of venom and revenge. They might properly be characterized Jointly as the legislative Infamy of Crete. My desire in this matter Is not prompt ed by hatred for the colored races. Really I think I am the negro’s best friend. I understand him perfect ly in all the relations of ilfe and all the phases of his character. And I know that the white man is not going to share with him in the government of this country where he is In large enough num bers to Imperil the supremacy of the white race. If the negro is encouraged to aspire tc the unat tainable It will provoke a conflict between the races. And we all know that In the conflict all tfje dead attrition will be on the side of the weaker race. The white is going to control this country if it means the absolute annihilation of /*very one of the colored races. The Anglo-Saxon Is as conscience less as a cancer when it comes to dealing with any of the inferior races that impede In any way the pathway of progress" or threaten the destruction of his own civiliza tion. Change of Laws Urged. It is impracticable to deport the negro; but we can change the or ganic law of the nation and bring about perfect social and political segregation. We can have a gov ernment by law and prevent the friction which will necessarily re sult If we do not. There should be separate coaches on the railroads and on the street cars; and if the negro Is to remain in the public service, he should be put to him self. In other words, there should he no commingling of the races at all. Intermarriages should he pro hibited and all social intercourse discouraged. Now, can this be brought about by law?* To my own mind, there is not the slight est doubt It must be done. When the white people of America under stand the. question in all of its phases they are going to do it, not only for the protection of the while race, but also' for the salvation of ^the negro race. It is the must im /ortant question that confronts the ’'civilization of tlve century. As a matter of fact, all other issues, po litical and social and business, pale into utter nothingness compared in importance to it. The integrity of the rac *, the peace and purity of the white man's home and the per manency of the white man’s civ ilization and the life of the negro rate ar-* all involved. 1 am going to press this matter before Uon- gress at the proper time. And then 1 am going before the American people and endi-Wor to teach them the truth regarding it. My heart is in the effort because it means so much foi my country. COUPLE. 93 YEARS OLD.

LOS ANGELES, May 10.—Una lone ly little volcanic Island but a half- mile* wide, which rlaes out of the Pacific 400 miles northwest qf Hono lulu, there once lived a race of pre historic men, who have left behind them evidences of a fantastic form of religious worship entirely unlike that of the natives of any of the other Pacific islands. This is* one of th#» remarkable facts brought back by George Willetts, field naturalist of the Bureau of Biological Survey of the Department of Agri- Government Co-operating With State Officials to Increase Fresh Water Breeds. Ellen Evelyn James Sorry People Have Found Out That She Posed for Figure. YORK, May 10 A famous sculptress is a much greater person than a pretty girl whose f;pc and head has been chosen as the model for the figure of Plenty on the new currency. Miss Ellen Evelyn James, of San Antonio, Texas, who has al ready achieved the latter honor, is authority for the statement, and her friends say that she will soon win distinction as a sculptress. Silent on Selection. Miss James does not like to talk about her selection as a model for the new paper money. “Of course,” she said yesterday in her little studio apartment, “l am proud of having been selected by Kenyon Cox j to pose for him. hut 1 consider my*work of far greater im portance. and I hope to become a great sculptress. ‘Then, too,” she exclaimed with a little pout, “people will never let me forget that 1 posed for the figure of Plenty. I will be reminded of it for the reel of my life, and there are sure to he ever so many bromide Jokes cracked on the subject. 1 will have to listen to all of them. That is why 1 am sorry the public has found out who l am." Miss Janies is at present a student of sculpture in the Art Students' League, and according to her teach ers she shows great promise of hold ing a high place in the artistic world. She is the daughter of S. H. James, of San Antonio, and came here about two years ago to study. She was suggested as a model to Kenyon Cox, when the famous sculp tor was looking about for models for the central group on the new cur rency. Sculptural Work. The most ambitious piece of sculp ture that Miss James has ever at tempted is a figure of a man which she has entered in the year-end com petition of tile Art Students’ League No decision has been rendered in the competition as yet. hut it is under stood that Miss James’ work stands a very good chance of being awarded t he first prize, other works of Miss James’ which have attracted favor able attention are a figure of Uupid and a little girl, whose dress is being blown about by the wind.

Japan has purposely made hot* case ! so that it will be parallel to that >f dive Britain, and has put the State Dcpartmqnt in the attitude of having to treat with the two countries alike. In other words, if the administration should agree to submit the British case to arbitration. Japan will con tend that he same rule s-.ouid appiv to the Japanese protest. The acts of the administration have encouraged the Japanese Government to believe j that it will get preferential treatment. Tii.it preferential treatment is ! clearly foreshadowed by the telegrams ! which President Wilson ha* sent to ;Go\.rne!

N> ■ r.< in Washington believes that | Great PG.tain will ft,roe an issue with ; tue Unted states in the same spirit : ipp.ars to animate the Japanese culture from a Government scientifi expedition to the chain of small islands extending between Honolulu and Midway Island, the relay Ra tion of the Pacific cable. The island which shows signs of former human habitation is known as Neck or Inland. It is formed entirely of volcanic rock, and is no larger than a few good-sized city blocks, be ing less than three-quarters of a mile across at its widest point. Almost Inaccessible. Owing to the peculiar structure of the island, rising, as it does*. 300 feet from the surface of thy sea. with sheer chiffs, and surrounded by threatening coral reefs, it has been regarded as inaccessible. Willetts succeeded in making a landing on the island by swimming from a boat. After making his way to the foot of the formidable cliffs through the rough and shark-infest ed sea, he pulled himself to the top over the rocks. So far as is known. Willetts is tlie second man who has ever been on the island within hu man recollection. When the daring naturalist reached the top of the cliffs, he found, on the highest points, altars, construct ed, evidently, hundreds and perhaps thousands and thousands of years ago. There were several of these, each one plated on a rock eminence, all constructed of great slabs, hewn out of the volcanic formation of the island and built with an evident great ex penditure of human labor. The locations* of these altars on the hill tops indicated that the an cient inhabitants were sun wor shipers. A Lew rough-hewn stone images, which have been taken from Neeker Island, are entirely different from those used in the worship of the early native inhabitants of the Hawaiian Island.". Idolatrous Gods. The strange fact which impressed Willetts, as he observed these an cient altars, was that here on this desolate island, with nothing but the beating sea for hundreds of mile? in every direction, the ancient in habitants expended their greatest ef forts in their idolatrous worship, and the principal works they left behind them were the altars which they had raised to their gods. One of the most remarkable scien tific discoveries made by the expedi tion was the finding of a new species of hair seal on Pearland Hermes Reef, which had never before been visited by whites. This species of seal was, there fore. entirely unknown to the world of science. Skins and skeletons were brought back for the National Mu seum at Washington. The reef where the new Hawaiian seal was* discovered was so named because two ships, the Pearl and the Hermes, were wrecked there and the crews of both vessels lost. Parts of the wreckage could be seen for many years by passing steamers, but before the Willetv ex pedition no one had eve;- succeeded in making a landing on the island. The Government expedition was n e Salisbury, 1 WASHINGTON, May 10. A move ment to save the fish in inland waters has become almost National in its scope within the last few months. Through experts in the Bureau of Fisheries investigations -have been made that have saved many fish lives from needless death. The bureau works in co-operation with the State Fish Commission. If the men on those commissions face intricate, problems, they submit sam ples of water to the bureau and the bureau analyzes them. And the bu reau goes a step farther, because analysis may not solve the problem. Poison Squad at Work. Down at the bureau headquarters is what is known as a “poison squad,” and through this group of healthy members of the finny tribe the fish doctors plant the cause and watch the effect. Then the bureau goes out to find the remedy. From observations thus far made the bureau has found that there are parts in each stream along whose banks are located factories giving out poisonous matter which are shunned by fish, while other parts are thickly populated In other words, the ab sence of fish in any part of a stream indicates a danger zone. Another peculiar condition which the bureau has brought to light is that factories may give off poisonous matter without fatal effects on fish, in one instance along a stream in Oregon it was found that two fac tories situated nearly opposite each other gave off an acid and an alkali, and the waters thereabouts were harmless to fish because tfie two sub stances neutralized each other. Perhaps the most peculiar physical condition fouud to exist among fish is appendicitis. Out in the Middle West saw mills line almost every stream In their active operations the mills give off fine sawdust, which floats upon the waters. Some of the parti cles become water-soaked and sink a short distance below the surface. To the fish these particles appear like tempting morsels, and are rapidly de voured. Like the orange or grape seed in the human being, it some times escapes the point where it would cause suffering, but again it occasionally sticks, and a well-de veloped case of appendicitis follows, which is commonly fatal. Commercial Results. These investigations by State and National authorities on fish have sometimes had unusual commercial results. Two years ago the residents along the banks of a certain stream in Pennsylvania asked the State au thorities to investigate the cause of the destruction of fish in parts of the river. Analysis showed that the water contained tannic acid, evident ly from the many tanning plants along the river. The authorities at tacked the tanners, who put in reno vation processes for their refuse. As a result, the acid was refined and sold, the fleshings from the hides were turned into glue and the hair was sold to contractors for use in mortar mixing. KISSED 1 IfilMI.

It is said the King and Queen are very fond of Mrs. Wilcox’s poetry and it is known that King Edward and Queen Alexandra were two of hep greatest admirers. Operation Asked To Prevent Crime Kansas City Prisoner Believes Pressure on Brain Responsible for His Misdeeds. KANSAS CITY, May 10.—Harry Morris, 22 years old. held in the County Jail charged with a crime, pleaded in a letter to a local paper for an operation on his head to cure him of his criminal tendencies. Morris is to have his chance. Judge Ralph Latshaw said he would order the prisoner sent to the General Hos pital if anything could be done for him there. Dr. R. E. Gatelaw, super intendent of the hospital, said Mor ris would be put under the care of the surgeons of the institution. An X-ray of the man’s head will he made, and if the photographs show any pressure on the brain the skull will he raised. In his letter, Morris said; “I want some doctor to take enough interest to perform an operation on my head, as I think I have what physicians term a. 'skull pressure oh the brain.’ I was hit on the head with a brick when 1 was sixteen years old, and since then have been leading a life .of crime and wickedness.” Trustees of Cote Brilliante Pres byterian Church Absolve Rev. C. M. Rauch. ST. LOUIS, May 10.—'f’rustes of Cote Brillante Presbyterian Church have adopted a resolution expressing their confidence in their pastor, Rev. Charles M. Rauch, who was accused of kissing the wife of Theodore J Ferguson. The revolution pledged the board’s support to the minister and added that the statement that the present board was selected at the suggestion of Mr. Rauch was false. The resolu tion was signed by Samuel A. Kepner, president, and S. J. McAllister, secre tary. Mr. Ferguson characterized th8 minister’s* alleged endearment as “an act of boyishness.” He said he bore the pastor no ill will or malice. “He embraced my wife and kissed heravhile I was not present.” said Mr. Ferguson. “It was as surprising to her as it was to me, when I heard of it later. So far as I know he only kissed her a few times, not as often as others try to make out.” Mr. Rauch refused to affirm or deny he had kissed Mrs. Ferguson, although he said at one time in the interview that he may have been in discreet. “I feel that many of the congrega tion are friendly and sympathize with me,” he said. “Mr. Ferguson and I are strong friends. I did not ask his forgiveness. I went to him and told him if I had doe anything against him I was sorry for it. “It strikes me that the publicity that has been given to this matter has been inspired by enemies of mine Anyone who tries to do right always has enemies. I have not been re quested to resign." Mrs*. Ferguson declined to discuss the incident, which occurred when she lived on Kennerly Avenue, and at tended Mr. Rauch’s church. Church members said that she had been a conspicuously active worker ajd had taught a Sunday school class. 1 WOMAN TRAVELS 23,000 MILES TO GET ESTATE WILMINGTON’, DEL., Ala> 10.— After a trip of 23,000 miles made to obtain an estate valued at $150,000, left her by her father.

Trapper in Heart of Black Hills Overcomes Birds After Fierce Encounter. CAPUT A, S. P.. May ll.—Here in the Bald Hills, a wild region between the famous Black Hills and the equal-* ly noted Bad Lands, Ray Beach kill ed four big golden eagles with a jackknife. The oldest trapper in the Hills re members no such feat as this, and Beach is a hero. Beach saw two eagles perched on a pine tree far up a cliff. He hit the two with one shot. One tumbled to the base of the cliff. The other only fluttered on a ledge. Beach wanted the second eagle, the war bird of the Sioux and Cheyennes is precious; for its small tail feather an Indian would give half a dollar, and the price of a dead eagle on the reservation is a live horse. The trapper, leaving gun, gam£ and trap, made a detour of several miles, climbed the snow-drifted mountain side and crept down the face of the cliff to the wounded eagle, he finished it with a knife-thrust, tied it to his hunting belt and began his ascent. Flat against the cliff with a thou sand feet of air below', he saw two big eagles that had come to avenge their dead brethren. Then began a battle that lasted for an hour. Before the fallen trapper could rise to his feet the "war birds.” through fear of which Indians still shun the Black Hills, were upon him with ripping beak and claw, thresh ing him with their mighty wungs. He rolled over on his face and. opening his knife, thrust out blindly again and again at his head, arms and back. At last one. then the other, fluttered down the cliff and lay where it fell, and then Beach crawled to the top, and, weary and weak from loss of blood, made his way back. WIFE BEATS HER HUSBAND; AUNT SWEARS OUT WARRANT HUNTINGTON, W. YA.. May 10.— Protesting against her nephew being continually “beat up” by his wife. Mrs. E. L. Shelton swore out a war rant for Mrs. William Blizzard, of McKeesport, Pa., who is visiting here with the much-abused hubby. Ac cording to the warrant, the aunt charges the young wife of Blizzard with extreme cruelty, and declatvs that she proposes to put a stop to th^nerciless beatings to which she says her nephew is being subjected. According to the allegations of Mrs. Shelton, if young Blizzard is slow in completing a task set for him he is thrashed. If he fails to answer a summons of the “exponent of women’s rights” in double quick time, he is pummeled and kicked around. Nov. the sympathetic aunt says she is going to stop .it. Mrs. Blizzard gave bond for her ap pearance in court. W , PACI3IAN &EJTAUOANT Sfgf Baseball League Aids Church Work Sunday School Attendance and Con- duct of Boys Riased by Stand ard of Teams. PRATT. KANS., May 10—The churches of Pratt have joined in a baseball league season of fifteen games. Each Sunday School, rep resenting its church, has charge of its individual team.
