MY CHRISTIAN MIND
BY w. H. FERGUSON,

81 w. IL. FEftG USON,
Lexington, Mo.
Can a white man be a Negro when
he has Caucasian blood pumped TO his
brains from o heart which has been
given him by the Almighty God? We
have mingling withour most high
Scribes and Elders a white man whom
| have heard preach to many Chris
tians that is a friend to the Negroes.
| may speak too boldly Of this white
man who is Judge Mayo of Chicago,
but If | do, Coo will forgive as | may
be a fool and a fool is not held ac-
countable for what he says or does.
/ would like the reader to stop and ask
himself in a worldly way: Do we want
another Theodore Roosevelt for a
president in 1916? ! do not expect
anybody who has not studied life
worldly and spiritually to see that
Judge Mayo is nothing else but a false
Christ among us. | have heard him
say that he is rich and does not need
money. ! am a Christian and / feel
it my duty to warn others of any dan
ger which in years to come will cause
them to suffer by being misled. 1t
| comes to me that if Judge Mayo is a
true born Christian minister of the
Gospel as | have heard him say, why
there is the A. VI. e. Zion church 1906
Woodland venue a few hundred dol
lars in debt and there is the Ebenezer
A. NJ. e. church, 18th and Lydia and
Allen chapel and the Second Baptist
and st. Stephens Baptist church and
a little church at 18th and Woodland
and another nea 18th and Highland
and several others that | could men
tion in need of money and / feel il
Judge Mayo is rich and knows Gods
laws concerning a rich man and the
gates of heaven as he claims to know
he should not talk so much about
what a friend he is to the Negro
Christians but prove it by making ar
rangements to stand good for all the
debts on church property in Kansas
City and a few other churches tina
he is using to pave his way to thu
presidents chair in 1916. AS far as
| am concerned it won't make mucl
difference who is in the White House
as l feel what the Negro churches
need is capital but we haven't time
to take such a long shot for the money
as Judge Mayo is blindIy leading m!
race into. If a 1.-THE Negroes whit
contracted to buy property in Gary
Ind, will size up Negro capital, eau
casian capital and especially Easter
capital and if you are well versed il
land values you will come to the con
clusion that the ratio is too great TO
the Negro to bite. With peace on eartl
with good will and Gods mercy IN thu

PARIS, July 2O-Twice within a week the business quarter of the Rue de Chateaudun has been invaded 1y strange refugees from Northern France -swarms of bees which, fol- lowing their queen. began to hang in a cluster from one of the lamposts. Presumably they had been driven from their former home by the cease less hurricane of fire. smoke and ex- plosion.
 When the first visit occurred, the police sent for a scientist from he Zoo, who arrived with the usual equip ment for enticing bees into a hive, but the visitors turned a deaf ear to the time honered wiles and stung a few Of the too curious public Then the fire men were sent for but it was finally decided that it would be better 10 sui locate the bees than to scatter them by means Of strea moi water. Ac cordingly they were subjected to ; poisonous gas which reduced them Jr insensibility and enabled the special ist from the zoo to sweep them away in a bucket.
 Two days later another swarm ar rived in the same place and were sim

RroTlNo IN sAYoNNE


 NEW YORK, July 20.-Serious riot ing tonight occurred at the Hook plant Of the Standard oil at Bayonne, N Jo when several hundred of the five thou sand striking employees clashed with more than two hundred special off cers and policemen. The strikers were apparently trying to charge the works when the guards fired into the air. The strikers answered with a volley and scattered.
 Another disturbance occurred near the plant when a boilermaker, on his way home tonight, was mistaken for a strikebreaker He was attacked and severely injured before the police interferred.
 Steamers and barges, loaded witf case oil, destined, it is said for Eng land, were towed into the upper bay and anchored near the Statue of Liber ! ty. It is said they will remain in tho | bay if the strike continued. Th' strikers were augmented by two hun dred employees of the Bergenpor l Chemical Company adjoining the Star dard oil works, who declared a sym pathetic strike.

Reported That Zapata Re-0Cu-
 pied Capital of Mexico Follow

GONZALEZ NOT HEARD
 FROM IN SEVERAL DAYS
Hourly News Expected of Battle
 Reported to Be Raging Near PaChuCa; People of Mexico
 City Now Facing Starvation.

WASHINGTON. July 2O-Dispatch- es to the State Department from Mex leo City late today, announced a Zapa- ta force had reoccupied the capital Sunday. following the evacuation by the Carranza army under Gonzales. Zapata officials are said to have re- sumed full control of the city from which they were driven ten days ago by Gonzales who has now gone north ward with troops to meet the adyanc- ing Villa forces.
 This unexpected development came as a surprise not only to officials of the Washington government but to both Mexicans agencies. lt has been supposed the Zapata army, defeated and harrassed on the retreat, was op- erating along the railroad to Vera Cruz awaiting a chance to form june tion with the Villa column.
 No word has been received of the whereabouts of Gonzales since he ! quit the capital. The news of a battle near Pachuca. already reported by Villas men, is hourly expected and may already have occurred. The mes sages require about twenty-four hours for transmission. Other reports to the State Department during the day said the railroad communication be- tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City was suspended Ion account of the present military operations"
 The suspension of railroad commit . nicatiop is viewed here with alarm for the suffering people in MeXico City as this action completely cuts off the sending of much needed food supplies. A private message received pictured the situation as desperate
 cTRRANZA TROOPS LOSE
 LAREDO, July 2O.-Carranza troops have been routed after several days fighting with Villa forces between Paredon and Icamole, south of Monte rey, according to unofficial advice' received tonight.

OF NOTE AGREED ID BY
 CABINET
Though Note Will Not Be an Ul- timatum, It Will Place All Re- SpOnSibiiity for Future ACCi- dents Solely Upon Germany.

WASHINGTON. July 2O-The Presi- dent and cabinet have decided on the general principles of the note 10 be sent Germany within a few days re- newing the efforts to secure for Amer ican citizens protection and rights on the high seas. The draft of the nore is complete in form In its character and purposes there was unanimous agreement and tonight Lansing is at work putting in more precise language the ideas set forth It is made clear the note will not be an ultimatum or will make any threats as to the fu- .ure purposes of the United States
 Members of the cabinet, generally
 preserved secrecy regarding the prob able contents of the communication
 and the President cautioned against detailed speculation in advance of the publication of the document Such in- formation as is obtainable. concern ing the nature of the note, is chiefly of a negative character Although cabinet members said the note will not
 be an ultmatum, it is a tthe same time pointed out that it will probably have an air Of hnalty, curtailine the field of discussion and negotiation and placing squarely on Germany th. responsibility for any actions that might subsequently endanger the ! friendly relations of the two countries ] The communication will be couched in 1 friendly terms although there will fol-
 low a spirit of frmness that has char
 acteriz5d the previous notes.
