to marry a Partisan maiden.
Jeanne was broken-hearted. Her over.
sensitive nature convinced her that It was
because she was not like other girls-be.
cause her face was pitted-that her love
had not been returned. She could not
bear to remain longer In Europe with only
idle luxury to distract her mind, so she
obtained her fathers reluctant consent to
come to America and engage In settle

rather than death. Finding 1t impossible

ing girls?
Did the enemies who sought through her
to harm her father finally encompass her
death? Or was she driven to suicide by
her failure to find forgetfulness in the way
she had expected?
In support of the theory that before she
found her way into the cold waters Of Lake
Michigan she had tried for a time to fight
the world single-handed and alone, asso-
ciates of Jeanne at Hull House recall how
eager she>was to do the most menial kinds
OF houDwork-tasks which an heiress
would harlly be expected to enjoy. The day
before she disappeared she bought herself
aprons and dust caps and pleaded to be
allowed to take over the duties of a man
who cleaned the library.
Jeanne undoubtedly inherited from her
father many OF his socialistic instincts. 1t
was to satisfy these that she took up her
residence at Hull House and began an
apprenticeship in social service work un-
der the guidance OF Miss Adams.
Perhaps her brief experience at Hull
House convinced her that she could be OF
greater service to humanity by hiding her
identity under an assumed name and go
ing out to work alone and unaided among
the poor and afflicted Such a spectacular
and daring move as this would be one that
would appal most girls. but It Is nothing
more than might be expected from the
daughter Of a man Of John w. De Kay's
temperament.

ternational politics, but in literature as
well, has always been characterized by a

II was while living in the City Of Mex
leo that Jeanne De Kay was stricken with
smallpox. The disease left her face badly
pitted. The greatest specialists were ap'
peaIed to in vain-nothing that science
could suggest was able to restore the
satiny pink-and.w white beauty OF her cheeks.
For years after this Jeanne was sad,
lonely girl, forever brooding over the ugly

the ridlle II you were a detective charged
with the task of clearing up the mystery?
Before you could reach a decision you
would need to know as much as possible
about the girl herself-her personality,
her ambitions, her past life. and particu-
larly what she had been doing immedi-
ately preceding her disappearance. And
you would also do well to give more than
a passing glance at the tangled web OF
intrigue and adventure which has for
many years woven itself about her father.
When a young man John w. De Kay
drifted from the editorship Of a small
Illinois newspaper to Mexico. The warm
friendship which he formed with Presi.
dent Diaz enabled him to obtain conces.
sions that quickly filed his pockets with
millions. He gained almost a complete
monopoly of the Mexican meat business
and was known as "The King Of the
Packers"
But when Diaz died and Madero came
into power De Kay lost the political in
fluence that had made him wealthy. He
sold his Mexican holdings for $5,000,000
and went to Europe to live. There, It iss
said, he served as Huerta's confidential
agent and bought for him large quantities
of rifles and cartridges.
Much importance is attached by those
who believe that Jeanne De Kay was muir
dered cor that she was driven to death by
fear of being kidnapped and held as a
hostage to the important role her father
has played in the Mexican plots and coun-
ter.plots OF recent years. The bitter enmi
ties that animate Mexicos rival factions

M. E. church could have joined with
the A. M. Els but it seems that the
people preferred to remain where they

THE REASON,

The Boston Guardian edited by Will
liam Monroe Tratter is the paper
which stands first and foremost in
the battle against jimcrowism. The
following editorial from a recent issue
is timely:
The reason that a preparatory Y.
M. G. A. or civic centre is a step
backward is that in the North it
means nothing less than an invita-.
ton to white men conducting places
for public patronage or recreation,
to refuse, deny or segregate all COL
ored patronage and point to such an
institution as a just reason for so
doing, and soon the idea as we'll as
the practice Of setting colored Ameri-
cans off by themselves in all places
for public accommodation will spread
until, as in many cities throughout
the North will be found segregating
or denial in theatres, restaurants
and such places, until it reaches the
public schools.
Every attempt to help in any way
the singing out of colored Americans
as race, in this country, for whom
must be maintained separate places
of public accommodation, must be
det1antly fought, not even lending ear
to the argument so common in cities
Of the middle West that such sep
arate institutions furnishes "jobs"
for our men and women.
The colored people can not sell their
citizenship rights in education and
with the proceeds, pay the salaries
OF few persons who may get en-
ployment in such jim crow insti-
tutions. -.

INSISTS UPON SEGREGATION.

It seems that the War Department
is determined to continue it's jim-crow
policy. For sometime the people of
Massachusetts. have been endeavoring
to have colored men admitted to all
branches of the army, but the admins
tration at Washington insists that
Americans of different complexion
must not fight together in defense of
Old Glory and that it is the "patriotic
duty" of colored Americans to be salts.
fed with jim-crowism.
In a recent letter to Governor Cal
vim Coolidge Of Massachusetts,, Secre.
tary Baker of the War Department
regretted" that nothing could be done
"as a departure would have to be
made from the War Departments
policy of maintaining separate divi
sions for white and colored troops"
The letter ends with this paragraph
1T is believed that the colored citi
zens of Massachusetts should be re-
minded that it is the better part OF
patriotism to volunteer for such serv
ices as may be required rather than
to attempt to lay down conditions
which the War Department must meet
before services can be expected Of
| them"
When the world war was on colorec
American soldiers fought and died fol-
the native land, although subjected
to the most Infamous discrimination
and humiliations, and they would fght
again if their country was menaced
but we do not believe that they ought
to enlist at all in time of peace un
less. there is a radical change in the
jim-crow policy which ruled during the
world war.

FORWARD, CHRISTIAN soLDlE r.

FORWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIER"
THE APPEAL of May 1, contained
the following EDITORIAL:
The stage is all set and when the
Quadrennial conference of the Metho.
dist Episcopal Church meets in Des
Molnes, Iowa, this month, it is likely
that that most Infamous action ever
attempted in the history of Christian.
lty will become an accomplished fact.
The great event Of the meeting is
to be the unifcation of the North and
South branches of the church, which
separated over the slavery question
many years before the shareholders
rebellion.
When the separation took place the
Northern branch took stand for
Christianity, humanity and freedom,
while the Southern branch stood for
slavery.
Now after 20 years they are to re.
unite by casting aside every vestige
OF Christianity, and segregating the
colored members of the church.
. 1t is a plan conceived in hell,
nurtured and sustained by the devil
and reputation of the basic princi-
pies by the Christ which this great
church claims to follow.
:. And the disgusting part is, that
some colored men are partners in the
infamy. >'*
We learn from the press dispatches
that the trick has been turned and
the Infamous scheme consummated,
and the great M. E. church has torn
down the banner of Christ, who taught
the equality of races, and has substi-
tuted a black flag. Two NEGRO"
bishops having been elected. That
would be all right if they were to be

BUILDING A PLATFORM,

For many years the Republican
party has been Indifferent to it's faith
full allies, the colored people, and
even since the party is in power in
Congress, efforts Of good Americans
to get the Republican party to elm
mate jimcrowism from legislation
have failed.
Now the platform makers are at
work in Washington. The press dis.
patches tell of many tentative planks,
but there is the usual silence about
fundamental rights which are of more
interest to a group of about $4,000, 900
Americans than anything else.
There are colored members of the
advisory committee, but we have not
been able to learn that they have done
anything. Is it possible that they are
jimcrow men who are willing to keep
their mouths shut when it is time to
speak?
THE APPEAL believes that there
should be a short and strong plank,
with no reference to "the colored
man" or "the Afro-American" or "the
Negro but a demand for exact JUS
tice for all American citizens and
should include:
1. The enforcement of the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
2. A national anti-lynching law.
3. Abrogation of racial SEGREGATION

MADDEN NEARLY MOBBED.

The statement that the Confederates
of the days of the Shareholders re.
bellion were traitors, made by Martin
B. Madden, member of Congress from
Chicago, in the House of Representa-
tiyes at Washington, almost provoked
a clash the other day.
Mr.. Madden reiterated his state
ment and said that he had no apology
to make and asked:
docs anyone deny it?"
There was uproar from the Demo
Gratis, several Southern members
shouting, EYES," and you're a liar
Representative Romjue of Missouri
arose and started toward Madden, as
did Representative Johnson of Missis
slppi, but both stopped short, as South
erners are wont to do, unless it is q
mob of 1000 masked men ready tc
burn a defenceless prisoner at the
stake, in which case they are remark
ably brave.
Madden turned again to the Demo
cratic side and said:
They were traitors. You say no
and say yes. They did try to destroy
the Union.'
In these recent years with South.
erners like Pitchfork Tillman, ct al,
if is refrashing RI coo man 1;1,o Mad
den who can not be bluffed by South:

Madden told the truth and the
Southerners know it.
