It Is that Is being deceived.

later from the platform. Now let
US return 90 the question at Issue

the truth Of your published state
ment that a Tammany controlled
legislature was responsible for the
negro social equality law Of New
York.
Quotes HaIlam Statement
Your reply TO this challenge, made
after a weeks d~eliberation. Is SO
remarkable that I repeat IL here.
You said: "Pcrmit me first TO say
that In my speech as delivered at
Harlingen the sbugaboo of negro
equality was not mentioned at all.

reporter Of the Herald an interview

that New York had on its statutes

the same privileges in hotels. res

"You will not deny that this inter-
view was given after the delivery
Of your address at Harrington. The
published account shows that fact
clearly. and also that the account
was based solely on what you gave
to the reporter. You, better than
anyone else, knew what you had said
at Harlingen the night before; and
although you knew, as you now
state. that you had not in your Har-
lingen address made the statement
in question, or referred to the bug
aboo Of negro equality" in that adj
dress, you deliberately represented
to the newspaper reporter that you
had done so.
at is useless for you to say that
you had given out as part Of your
speech merely the statement that
New York had on its statutes a law
Of this character. III this Is intend
cd as a denial that you had charged
this law against a "Tammany . n
trolled legislature" your failure TO
make this denial for seven days aft

lenge, shows that you were willing
to have this false statement, backed
as IL appeared to be by the good
name and reputation Of a minister
of the gospel. read by thousands OF
people and contribute to the preju-

your party's nominee, until i
should have accomplished sUbstar-
tial results.
"You cannot evade the RESPONSE
bility for causing this false state
ment to be circulated. by blaming
the newspaper reporter fer inaccu-
racy, or BY admitting that you told
him things that were not true.
The net result Of our correspond

truth has been scotched, and I trust

pie Of this county"

LoUe and Youth Can
Aluays "Find a Way"

VIII love find wayI asks the Bos-
ton Globe, which then goes on to tell
this: The observer had missed his
train and was forced TO wait an hour
for the next. AS he walked through
the crowd of passengers from an in-
coming train he noticed the warmth
of embrace of young man and his
girl friend Apparently she was vel
coming him home from long trip.
Ten minutes later he saw them in a
strangle hold as train emptied It's
passengers at another gate. As the
crowd dispersed, they parted. The boy
friend was trailed to the waiting
room, where he met the girl, greeted
her sans embrace, and sat down for
a chat again. AS another train was
announced, they again departed. The
youth mingled with the incoming
crowd and the girl ran up to meet
him. To the ordinary onlooker 1t was
a fond welcome home, but to the OBJ
server Ii was an ingenious system Of
petting In public Love Will find a

Disposition of Dead
Has Wide Variation

Ceremonies associated with the vari-
Gus methods of disposing of dead the
world over are as interesting az they
are varied.
Modern nations as we'll as many
primitive and oriental peoples practice
inhumation, and with II their many
and peculiar rites But, as In byg0ne
days, funeral ceremonies of today are
most sacred and impressive occasions.
Cremation or the burning of dead
bodies to ashes, Is now p-lcticed to
small extent In several countries, but
Is by no means new, says the Path
finder Magazine. At the beginning OF
the Christian era cremation was the
prevailing custom of the civilized
world, with the exception of Egypt,
where the dead were embalmed; Judea,
where they were entombed Ia sepul-
cher, and China, where they were
buried in the earth. Christian In
humation, which Is now universal,
probably owes its origin to the doc
trine of resurrection OF the body.
While cremation was practiced by the
later Greeks, Romans, Danes and
others, the first cremation societies
were not formed until the Nineteenth
century. This method Of disposing OF
human bodies Is now urged by some
health authorities on sanitary grounds.

COAL OUTPUT
Lowest Since 1924, Report

Washington, D. Coal production
in the United States this year is the
lowest since 1924, latest reports of
the U. S. Mines Bureau indicate.
Output of the bituminous fields for

In 1925 the mines turned out 32O,-
2O6,OO0 tons of soft coal in the eight
months; in 1924 they produced 3O6,-
10000 tons; and in 1923 about 381,-

EQUITY JUDGE
Would Back Out of Em-

Chicago Singing criticism of Fed
eral Judge Wilkerson's injunction
against organized musicians has af-
fected the author of this serf edict,
and he would now inquire if an emer-
gency did exist when he signed the
order.
The court asked attorneys for the
workers to join with opposite counsel
to investigate the so-called emergency.
The workers attorneys privately sug,
gest that Judge Wilkerson should
raise this point before he signed the
order, and not wait until unionists
showed their contempt for the order
by suspending work and forcing an
agreement from theatre owners.
Judge Wilkerson secured his first
notoriety when he issued an edict
against striking railroad shop men, at
the request of Attorney General Harry
Daugherty.
City-wide opposition to his recent
order has shocked the judge. He COM
manded the musicians not to cease
work without the consent of employ
ers. The Movie Picture Operators
Union, the Theatrical Stage Employees
and the Theatrical Janitors' Union
all quickly notified the musicians that

NaDai Range Finder

An accurate method of computing
the distance between ships when the
height OF the enemy ship is not known
is by the use of the optical range
finder. This instrument is installed In
the turrets of battleships. 1t consists
of a long tube with optical prlsms.
The length Of the tube is taken as the
base of a triangle. The distance is
then figured out mathematically. The
degree of accuracy depends upon the
visibility conditions and the distance
can usually be ascertained within
few hundred yards OF the exact dis
tance
