he was disturbed by men moving
about in the adjoining room. Their
voices were low and guarded. and he
could not hear what they were say
ing. But as he was listening he
heard a curious kissing sound that
brought him Instantly out Of bed and
over to the wall
All that night he remained up. and
all the next day he waited for a
chance TO get into the adjoining
room to find out what it was all
about. But throughout the day the
room was occupied at all times by
one or more of the occupants. The
next night the strange sound was
repeated. continuing for ten or fifteen
minutes at time. The inspector
spent another day trying to get
acquainted with one of the occupants.

larger room directly over the one oc-

got 1t. He spent the next day max.
ing a small hole in the floor. With
some one in the room below him at
every moment he had to work with
absolute silence. but ne finally COM
pleted the task and was able to get
a short nap before midnight
At that hour he was up with his
eye to the hole in the floor The
men set up two mysterious looking
tanks on the table, connecting it with
apparatus of various kinds. Then
they dOnned heavy goggles and as

small square piece Of steel on which
they began operations. The inspec-
tor soon realized that what they had
was a pocket edition OF the oxy-
acetylene torch. the smallest outfit
he had ever seen. but exactly the
same as the type used for cutting
steel in shipyards and other plants

nature of the place where the expert

to do with some Illegal enterprise
He went to bed. determined to have
the room raided the next morning.
But when he took another peep by
daylight the birds had flown. taking
the apparatus with them.
Apparently there was nothing else
to be done. But the inspector got
busy. He knew most of the other
occupants of the house. BY casual

We cannot win by blinking at facts
or by ignoring fundamental princi-
pies. Editor J. 9. Adams Of the ST.
PAUL APPEAL is sound to the core
and we shall all have to accept his
kind OF leadership if we expect to at
tain our full stature and status under
the American Constitution. Cringing
may be comfortable for the time be-
ing put it is mighty humiliating for
all the time thereafter and it awakens
contempt for us as it should do in
the minds and hearts of our adyer-
saries.
Editor Adams points the way.
whether we accept his advice or not
and sooner or later he will blaze the
way to our financial, Industrial and
political enfranchisement in this
country where none will dare modest
us or make us afraid. Wise colored
leaders will take notice and govern
themselves accordingly.
The foregoing from The Planet Of
Richmond, Va, edited by Hon. John
Mitchell, Jr., who recently polled
10000 votes as candidate for gov
ernor OF the state, is pleasing to the
editor but we accept it as tribute
to the cause for which THE APPEAL

DEATH OF. ABDUL BAHIA.

A cable from Haifa Syria, an
nounced the death in that city OF
Abdul BAHIA Abbas, one of the great
est men Of the day and the leader of
the Bahaist movement. .....-z
Abdul BAHIA, Servant of God,''
travelled through the United States in
1912 and visited St. Paul among other
places. He was the guest of the large
congregation of Bahaists in Chicago
the latter part of April and early in
May in 1912 and on May 1, he dedi-
Gated the site at the Sheridan road
bridge in Wilmette, suburb of Chi
cago, where the Bahaists are now
building temple costing several mil
lions of dollars, to be the world CEN
ter Of Bahaism. -.
Abdul BAHIA was born in Teheran,
Persia. He was the successor of the
Bah, gateway of knowledge" who
began about 1914 proclaiming
throughout Islam the coming Of a
A1ASh'oSA5OA VI 0Ou anu uldU0 nluCT
Roadway until executed at the age OF
81. The noble father of Abdul BAHIA
was Mira Hossein Ali of Nour, a
disciple Of the Bah.
Father and son were banished in
1868 to Aka, a prison city in Syria
Forty years later the Young Turks
overthrow the despotic regime in Con-
stantinople, and Abdul BAHIA was
freed. .- -.
The death of Abdul BAHIA will be
mourned by millions of his core
ligionists all over the world and it is
now claimed that there is at least
sc, 100000 of them, who practice as
well as preach that "of one blood God
made all nations" .-...z.-.,
There are many thousands of col
ored people in the United States who
have left orthodox Christianity and
have become Bahaists because Of n.y.
procrisy Of the so-called Christians on
the color question.
