Reprisal Threat
For Destruction
Worrying Enemy

London, Oct 1O.-Indications that
Germany is becoming anxious in
consequence of the threats of re-
prisals for the destruction of towns
in France are afforded by a tele-
gram from the semi-official Wolf
bureau received liz Stockholm, say
ing that Douai is burning "as the
result of the continuous British
bombardment"
The reports that the Germans had
set fire tosa town they were still
occupying was characterized by the
agency as ridiculous.
The Germans, according to a
Reuter- dispatch from Stockholm
also deny having fired Roulers,
Thourout and Lichtervelde.

st. Louis, Mo-The whole race join
in congratulating Mr.. and Mrs. A. i.
Malone on the new home of the Poro
College, the greatest, largest and most
complete commercial building in the
country owned by the race. 1t was
erected at a cost of $250,000 and will
go down in history as one of the great
achievements of the American Negro.
A whole week was used In the open
ing and dedicatory exercises, during
which some of the most noted men
and women of the race from all parts
of the country took part. Each night
was an interesting program. Among
some of the prominent men who were
present were, Rev. w. Sampson

'Poro will bring the people out here"
he said
"The early life of Aaron and Annie
Malone" was discussed by Mrs. H. w.
Jameson of Peoria, ILL.,, who had
known both from youth. She told of
the school days of Aaron, his finish
ing the grammar school, high school,
normal and then accepting a small
school in Southern Illinois, then prin-
cipal of large school in Quincy. On
account of i'll health, left the school
room, became a book agent and later
married the model woman of the Ne
gro race.
The life of Mrs. Malone as told by
Mrs. jameson was an inspiration to
the girls of the rase. She described
her humble home, her school days
with her short hair, but how she por-
trayed the elements of a great wo-
man. She stuck to her school duties,
feeding her mind, and today she is
benefactor to the whole race.
Charles Stewart of Chicago was the
next speaker. HE who fails to find
himself, who he is, what he is and
his place in Gods universe, is a fail
ure throughout his life" lie said, "and
we have before us these two charac-
ters, Mr.. and Mrs. Malone, because
they took the time in the school room
to locate themselves. Man must find
himself through his mind. Physical
size or strength is not manhood, but
man is mind God breathes into his
nostrils, mind, soul, will. He rules
the world because he is the mind of
the world"
Editor George L. Knox of the In
dianapolis Freeman spoke. He said
some good, wholesome things to the
people. The closing address was made
by Editor John H. Murphy of the Afro
American, Baltimore, Nd. He deliv-
cred a practical business address.
Lester A. Walton of the New York
Age was introduced as a product of
st. Louis. He had spent his early life
in "Mudville," but today stood out as
an inspiration to the youth of the
race. He ranked with the best news
paper men of the age, and due to the
fact that he had applied himself when
student.
Mr.. Walton made a short address.
He was given an ovation by the large
audience. All people rejoice in the
success of the home boy" hence their
expression to Young Walton. He was
accompanied by his family, and came
from New York to pay tribute to
the man and woman who were doing
things.

George R. Garner of Chicago, tenor

large audience. He was encored time
and again. He made hit. Prof. Cole
spoke Of the complainers, of the grum-
bier, those who had seen that it was
too much money to put in building
so far out, but he said that the pro-
moters had vision. They were build
ing for the future. He could recall
when the section where now stands
the magnificent structure was called
"Mudville," when it was considered
way out" but now it is a beautiful
section of st. Louis, and great things
would yet be accomplished right in
the section where now stands the
magnificent structure, Poro College.

MURDER AND CRIME ON EIGH-
TENTH STREET.

On Thanksgiving Day, after a wordy
alteration between Izo Washington
and Earl Handy, over a half pint of
whiskey, the latter in a fit Of rage
whipped out a razor and inflicted a
terrible wound on Washington, cutting
his throat from ear to ear, complete
ly severing the juglar vein Washing
ton ran from near the corner of 18th
and Forest, where the difficulty took
place, to the door of DR.. Fletcher's
office, 18th and Tracy, where he fell.
He was hurried to the City Hospital
but died in a few moments after
reaching there. His assailant was ap-
pretended by Officers Howard and
Carter and is now awaiting trial.
Washington's body was taken to
Rocheport, Mo-, for burial
On last Wednesday night, as one Of
our reporters was walking down 18th
street, he heard the crack of a re-
volver four times in rapid succession,
and rushing down to 18th and Grove
he found Jas. Mcmillan lying in a
pool of blood and standing over him
was a woman flourishing a revolver.
Officers Howard and Carter appeared
upon the scene and placed her under
arrest. She gave the name of Aman-
da Earl, alias Mcmillan. Mcmillan
was carried to the office of DR.. e. B.
Ramsey where he was given emer-
gency treatment, then taken to the
Old City Hospital where he lies in
dangerous condition, two bullets hav-
ing taken effect.
The business men, White and Col
ored, are complaining of the rowdy-
ism prevalent on 18th street in this
particular section and the police are
preparing to take decisive steps to
suppress the thugs and crooks in this
locality.
Officers Howard and Carter, who
are doing splendid work, arrested one
Dan Wash, alleged to be the man who
held up a business place last week.
When arrested he had a big As on
him and is now in the County Jail
awaiting trial. These officers are de-
serving of the thanks Of all good citi-
zens in their vigorous efforts to sup
press crime in this city.
