His bright eyes were fixed on Dora.

said.
Martin almost dropped. The man
might have been standing outside the
door listening to the conversation that
took place before his arrival. Dora was
less likely to be thrown of her balance.
"You mean Audrey?" she asked and
laughed People invariably amuse me
when they refer to Audrey as my
younger sister. I am exactly a year
younger than She"
Dora was perfect opportunist.
What makes you think we're inter-
esteds in Audrey Bedford's movements,
Smith?"

operations for second and looked up.

'That was nothing. His big try was

VISITORS TO LINER
SEARCHED FOR RUM
Customs Guards Keep Close Check
on lie de France Before
Sailing.

NEW YORK, March 80 (P).-Cus-
toms guards last night searched visitors
for liquor as they came off the French
liner lie de France, just before that
vessel sailed for Europe, but it could
not be learned whether any liquor was
found.
Several uniformed guards were sta
toned at the gate and as the visitors
left the upper level to pass to the
street, the hip pockets of the men were
''patted," overccatS carried over the
arm were punched and boxes of flowers
that arrived too late to be taken on
beard were opened and examined.
Outside the gate two customs guards
followed some of the visitors to the
street and searched them as they en-
tered their automobiles. Some of them
protested and refused to permit the
search until they were taken back to
the pier.
Last nights incident was the second
time withifF-l IL hours that customs men
sought liquor on the liner. Earlier they
seized three bottles of liquor from guests
at dinner to Joan Lowell, author. M.
Lincoln Schuster, book publisher, who
was present, paid a 81 fine imposed by
the customs men. No one was arrested.

HUGE MONUMENT
HONORS COLUMBUS
Heroic Statue of Explorer
Will Be Unveiled in New
York April Fl.
ev the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 30.-Above the
low coast line at Palos, spain, heroic
statue of Christopher Columbus rises
some 70 feet above classical base A
feet square.
The titanic monument, which will be
unveiled April 81, stands beside the
spot where Columbus weighed anchor
and stood off with his three caravels
fer the perilous trip through unknown
zJGterS westward. Wunin the base Is
q 20-fcot chamber wherein sit figures
of King Ferdinand of Spain and Queen
Isabella, who provided the money
whereby the explorer was enabled TO
assemble his ships and crews.
Mrs. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney of
New York, the designer, will be present.
At anchor off shore will ride the United
States cruiser Raleigh, under COM
mand of Vice Admiral John H. Dayton,
and Spanish warShips will fly the Stars
and Stripes and the standards of CASTLE
in honor of the discoverer of the wes-
tern world.
Alexander p. Moore, former United
States Ambassador to Spain; Adolph S..
OchS, Miss Anne Morgan and Rear Ad-
miral Herman o. Stickney were among
the prominent Americans who made
the memorial possible.
Mrs. Whitney was chosen to execute
the figure because of the admiration
aroused by her statue at st. Nazaire,
France, commemorating the landing
place of the first American soldiers to
reach France in the World War. She
has labored for months overcoming the
engineering difficulties encountered in
erecting such large monument on the
shifting sands of the coast.
As tn the Statle itself the navigator
stands with his arms resting on the
traverse of a great croSs-because he
went forth to spread Christianity as
much as to discover lands unknown
and his eyes gaze westward. The figure
follows the reproduction of Columbus
made by Paulus Jovius, still in possess
sion of Orchi, at Como.
The adjoining Monastery of Rabida
in which Columbus prayed the night
before he set sail on his momentous
journey, also has been restored.

REV. BLACKSHEAR'S BLUNDER

We suggest that Rev. w. S. Black,
shear, of Texas, change his name to
Rev. w. S. Blacksmear, of New York
In the manner in which he has
handled a delicate racial problem, he
has certainly made such a mess of
it that it closely resembles smear.
Colored folks as a rule prefer their
own churches with their own vestry
and their own rector.
1t gives them an opportunity for
Episcopal self-government that they
cannot get in any other way. Still,
they want to feel and know that the
latch-string of the white mother
church is on the outside and that they
can come and go when they so de-
sire to the body to which they owe
allegiance "with none to modest them
or make them afraid" Bishop Ernest
M. Stires has clarified the situation,
pronounced the basic principles OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church and
done a world Of good throughout the
religious world as represented by his
Great Church and religious denoml-
nation.
He has restored the star of hope
and now every Negro Episcopalian IN
the country is looking up with PRIDE
and affection to the white Eplsco-
palians, even though they have en-
tered upon the task anew OF building
large self-sustaining church units OF
their own under the direct supervls-
ion of the Bishops of this great Chris
tan denomination.
The issue, so far as st. Matthew
Protestant Episcopal Church, OF
Brooklyn, N. Y, is concerned IS a
closed incident. Rev. w. S. Black
shear and his fellows have reversed
rheir position under the ringing ex-
position of the canons Of the Epls-
copal Church by the presiding Bishop
who is directly in charge Of that
diocese. His name is Bishop Ernest
M. Stires, native of Virginia. Let
us forgive and forget the happening.
Brother Blackshear has much to
learn and he is learning it. The final
analysis is worth the cost. The affair
seems to be after all a blessing in
disguise. Let US have peace.

ACTION BRINGS NEW ATTACK
New York Times)

The vestry of st. Matthew's Prot.
estant Episcopal Church, McDonougf
Street and Tompkins Avenue, Brook
Ign, issued statement to the press
yesterday endorsing the action of the
rector, the Rev. William st. John
Blackshear, in discouraging the at
tendance of negroes at the church.
{ The statement, which both the rec
tor and the vestrymen refused to
amplify, reads as follows:
due to the general misunder-
standing of the real views of the
Rev. Mr.. Blackshear as to his paro-
chial policy, with which the vestry
is in harmony, it is deemed advisable
to make no further statement"
Subjoined were the words: Issued
by the vestry of st. Matthews
Church"
In order to preclue the possibility
of misinterpretation, Mr.. Blackshear
said, the vestry had decided to is
sue the written statement that it sis
in harmony" with the rectof's policy
and to make no further comment on
the matter.
When informed of the vestry's ac-
ton, Walter White, assistant secre-
tary of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
issued the following statement:
Approval by the vestrymen OF the
Rev. Mr.. Blackshear's stand con-
victs them of the same brand of
bigotry. So far as they are con-
cerned, the ethical standards of
Jesus Christ, whom they profess, to
worship, stops dead at the color line.
St. Matthew'S amends the statement
of Jesus, who said, Come unto me

ing, and have white skins

people who are sincere in their pro-.
fession of Christian principles must
Join in the conversion Of the Rev.
Mr.. Blackshear, his vestry and all
others of the Protestant Episcopal
Church who do not repudiate this
stain upon their church. Bishop
Stires of necessity belongs with the
Rev. Mr.. Blackshear and the vestry
men of st. Matthew's until he Gis-
avows the Rev. Mr.. Blackshear's
action in bringing Texan methods
into an enlightened community"
1t was learned yesterday that Mr..
Blackshear has received several
threatening letters since his an
last Sunday that he dis
couraged the attendance of negroes
at his church. He has taken no &C
ton, however, to have the writers of
the letters prosecuted. Many of the
letters he has received during the
past week remain unopened, he said.

tematic account of the mineral deposits and the work done on them. A reconnaissance of the Chickamin River Valley was made in. order to evaluate the possibilities of that region as an area for prospecting.
 Field Work
 In 1920 L. G. Westgate was engaged from July 19 to Aug ust IT in making a geologic in- yestigation of the country be- tween Salmon river and the in- ternational boundary. In 19- "A a topographic base map of the Hyder district was pre- pared by R. M. Wilson. In 1925 the writer was engaged from from July 8 to September 19 in making a geologic map of this district and in an investi- gation of the mineral deposits. The time was too short to pen- citrate the country south of Thumb Creek and to map ac- curately the northern border of the Hyder quartz monzonite west of Salmon River; this con- tact is therefore inferred. In 1925, between August 25 and September 16, Willard B. Jew ell made a geologic reconnais- ance of the country lying along Chickamin River from Behm Canal to the head of the West Fork of Texas Creek. The de- tailed description of the mines d prospects covers only the development up to 1925. Since that date considerable addit- ional work has been done at many of the properties and a number of them have passed into the hands of other owners.
