REAL FACTS IN CASE

So many letters have reached Mr..

tive 10 taking over surplus stocks OF
rye and barley flour for export by the

merchants he acquainted with the real
facts IN the case and the restrictions
surrounding the handling of these
stocks.
During the later part Of May conn

take over part of the stocks and of~

Mr.. BeaCham was also advised that
only a certain amount or barley and

to ACCEPT nineteen hundred barrels
from Tampa and nineteen hundred
barrels from Jacksonville
These amounts were quickly gotteni
together and prepared for shipment. IT.

Had the United States gov

fered it two years ago by Mr..
Thomas w. Harold, Colored.
Of Portsmouth, General Per-
shing might now have a gun
lover there capable Of throw
ing a shell ninety miles. The
Ledger-Dispatch Of March
77th contained the following
account of Mr.. Harold's gun:
"In connection with the
mystery gun with which the
Germans are bombarding Par
is at a distance of over seven :
ty miles. Thomas w. Harold,
Colored. an automobile me-
chanic at Goodwin and Colum
bia streets has drawings of a
gun offered the government,
which he claims will carry 4
shell over ninety miles.
"Harold made his drawing
while employed as a mechanic
in the Cadillac works at De-
troit. His plan calls for a
tungsten shell. and a peculiar
system of riaing the bore OF
the gun, which insures abso
lutte rotation as the shell
leaves the gun. AS seen at
the muzzle. the gun bore look
somewhat like a Maltese
cross.
"Harold claims that with
his gun Havana could be bonn
barded from Key West. dis.

The plans he submitted to
the government were refused.
but Harold believes that the
German gun embodies, some

New 1OrK AltV.-A great
deal of comment has been
caused by Mrs. Howard
Gould's enthusiastic advocacy
Of the election of the Rev.
Beverdy Ransom in the re-
cent New York campaign for
congress. This noted woman
of culture. wealth and refine
ment, who is an active suffra-
gist. made speeches for Or.
Ransom and urged the Color
ed people to stand unitedly be
hind him. DR.. Ransom did
not receive enough signatures
be cause of his late entry into
the campaign. to have his
name placed upon the regular
ballot. He, however. ran in
dependlen.ly and his name
having to be written in, he re
ceived only 500 votes.
Mrs. Goulds appearance
and earnest speech at a mass
meeting in Zion Church, on
the eve of the election, in fa-
vor of DR.. Ransom's candida.
cy created quite a sensation.
Interviewed by a reporter
Mrs. Gould made the follow
ing statement:
II am afraid l can hardly

the deepest and most sincere
prcmptings of my conscience.
When I tell you that | am a

no theories of race equality to
exploit.
Il want to see the Negro in
America get simple justice
and opportunity to develop all
his people for good and use
tul citizens, tor in my mind
the blackest pages of national
history is our treatment to our
citizens of African descent. Itl
sickens me to the soul to read
frightsul accounts of Negro
lynchings in the South for supl
posed offenses which a white
man man might commit with
impunity.
Il have watched with a sad
heart the suppression Of Ne
gro men and women in the
Southern states, and in many
Instances my recent visit to
certain sections of the South
brought tears to my eyes.
The lack Of educational oppor
tunities and the scant political
recognition is no less than ap
palling. l do believe that the
Negro's only hope in gaining
full citizenship and recogni-
tion as a man rests in his po-
litical representation through
the members of his own race
This is no large task, if
they would only realize their
power. cooperate and concen
trate their efforts in com

this defect. and it is my aim
to lend every aid. influence

part of our daily life that
there can be no excuse for
overlooking his welfare"

include the planting of trees in their

TUESDAY. DECEMBER ,, 1918.

.bs
This is a rarely TucKy day, accord
ing 10 astrOlogy The Sun, Neptune
and Venus are all in oenefc aspect.
The lunation of this day, which falls
In the seventh house in conjunction,
with Venus, denotes a more settled
condition of world affairs.
The blessings of peace, which are
to multiply in the new year. will be-
gin to manifest themselves in many
reforms both social and economic,
the seers declare.
Jupiter in the third house opposed
to Mars is read as threatening trouble
in regard to railways. Discussion over
public ownership may be heated and
lengthy.
Neptune in the fourth house prom
lses much for the progress of democ-
raCy. Many dreams for human bet
terment will come true.
Saturn is in a place held to be sin
lister, since it threatens increase of
mortality among children.
All the signs seem to favor the
strengthening of relations with for
eign countries, but there may be dis
agreements on certain policies, main
ly those affecting commercial matters.
Today should be a lucky one for
soliciting support or aid in any enter
prise involving large responsibilities
1t is good aspect for visiting rela-
tives or friends who can be of service
in promoting personal interests.
This is a propitious sway for be-
ginning Journeys on the water. Many
distinguished visitors from foreign
lands are foreshadowed.
Neptune gives promise of much re-
ligious controversy and discussion.
There may be serious difficulties over
matters of great national moment.
Sensational occurrences and real
stories more startling than fiction Will
mark the coming months, it is
prophesied. There will be many scan
dals.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of much pleasure and hap
piness in the coming year New
friends will be numerous. The young
will court and marry.
Children born on this day probably
will be romantic, idealistic and tall
ented. These subjects of Sagittarius
usually have happy. successful lives.
