Women Capture
Prowler

Miss Annie Bell Blair and Miss
Mary E. Sanders of 1890 Lawton
Blvd. and the gun with which they
caught a prowler who tried to enter
their home.
Miss Mary B. Sanders and Miss
Annie Belle Blair, both of 1880 Law
ton Blvd, captured a prowler in the
back yard of their home with a gun,
last Sunday morning.
AT 2:50 A. M. Sunday, Miss San
ders told the police, she was awakened
from her sleep by a noise in the back
room of her home that sounded like
someone trying to break into the
house through the window. Her first
thought she said, was to get her gun
and protect herself. In the mean
time Miss Blair, who was in bed in
the adjoining room and through who's
window the midnight caller sought
to gain entrance to the house, had al
so awakened and had whispered
through the opened door to Miss San
ders. the approaching danger.
The men by this time had opened
the window and were just about to
enter the room when Miss Sanders
snapped the gun at the intruders.
The gun snapped three times, where
upon the robbers, sensing danger and
annoyed by the swapping of the pistol,
climbed back through the window. The
next pull at the trigger was a sure
fire and sent a bullet through the
opened window just missing one of
the men.
On going to the back window, Miss
Blair saw one of the men scramble
over the fence. The other mar was
found trembling under the back steps
of the house next door by Miss San
ders who ordered him out at the point
of a smoking gun. She then held the
gun on her frightened prisoner while
Miss Blair called for the police. Three
minutes later, the police, much to the
burglars delight, arrived and carried
him to the station.
On being searched at the police sta
ton. police found a one-fourth pound
stick of butter, a can of condensed
milk and some nails in the prisoners
pockets. He gave the name, John
Thomas and was charged with ma
licious tresspassing.

Young Negro Writers


For the past year or two a great
deal Of the mail that reaches me comes
from our embryo writers who are de-
sirous Of having their thoughts ap-
pear in printed form-and on a com
mercial basis.
Unfortunately, a great many of
them are in the predicament and un-
der the delusion that all they have to
do is to dash off some bit Of verse or
prose. send il to a publisher one week
and the following week receive a
check that will pay their current room
rent OF board bill.
All such correspondents, in writing
70 me, are unanimous in the belief that
they possess a God-given gift that
some day viii cause their name to be
heralded far and wide as one of the
literary geniuses of the Negro race.
i do not wish to be classed as a
pessimist nor do I desire to discourage
our young literary i~ntellectuals but in
this release do wish to analyse, for
them, the obstacles that they must
surmount and the course they must
persue il they desire to attain sue
cess.
In the first place there are very few
Negro publications that are financially
able to pay cash. at space rates, for
tbs many manuscripts that reach
them, even from recognized race writ
ers. And in the second place those
that are financially able very seldom
purchase for cash the literary offer
ings Of unknown writers. With one
blow then this statement brushes the
hopes Of the many unknown writers
who expect to successfully commer-
cialize their initial offerings.
III the young writer possesses the
required qualifications to prepare
original acceptable manuscripts for
the white publishers then their op-
portunity for commercializing their
efforts can be attained but in so doing
they must entirely divorce themselves
from AN racial ties, as far as their
manuscripts are concerned, for the
element Of . young Negro writer car
ries no sentiment with white pub
fishers.
On the other hand il the young Ne
gro writer is sincere in developing a
God-given literary gift his forte lies
In establishing himself as a contribu-
tor to the f'~gro press and as these
contribution IRE published and be-
come widef cad the value Of such
efforts win r come recognized b. the
readers and discerning editors which
then win create opportunities to a.
chieve success on a commercial basis.
And 70 all these aspiring writers /
would suggest a continuance Of their
studies. develop their writing ability
BY frequently contributing to the Ne
gro press and bend their energies to-
wards establishing a name for them
selves as a writer first and after this
IS done the commercial opportunities
viii follow automatically.

In the II years that have elapsed since
the Lusitania went down several at
tempts have been made to recover this
wealth. But the sunken ship rests 2ae
feet below the surface, and no diver with
the usual apparatus can work at this
depth. The schemes seemed foolhardy
dreams.
Recently new invention has appeared
which makes this venture more feasible.
Simon Lake, that bluff, white-haired
American, has invented device which,
he claims, will allow exploration at great
depths. His apparatus is one OF the
strangest contrivances ever devised by
man. 1t is huge steel tube, which Is
attached to the mother ship. Inside the
tube spiral stairway will descend to
the deck of the Lusitania! At it's base
is an observation chamber, from which
divers will descend to the deck of the
steamer. Pumps will blow air into the
tube, and the divers platform is alright.
Before the divers take off the air pres
sure in the chamber will be raised to ex-
ceed the pressure of the ocean, so that

weighed and young Donald was to ac-
company them. So bitter and vengeful
was the young chieftain at this outrage
that he stole into the powder chamber
and applied torch to the explosives.
In moment the mighty ship was mass
of burning wood. It sank to the bottom
with its crew, young Donald and its
treasure of gold and silver, it's pearls and
emeralds, its beautiful silver services and
shields.
The Highlanders saw it sink, and from
that time on they have been attempting
to recover the lost treasure. Expedition
after expedition has failed. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been spent,
but only few trinketS and about $4,000
in gold have been recovered. The Duke
of Argyle, present owner of the wreck, is
determined to recover it's wealth. Cen
turies have passed and storms have
wreaked their fury on the little bay
Perhaps the treasure is buried under 80
feet of sand Still the optimistic duke
believes he yet may recover the $10,000,-

ship. Soon he will try again, using all
the latest scientific devices.

stacks and stacks of old Spanish doub-
looms, gold coins centuries old.
1t is tales such as this that give men
confidence when they know that the
odds are overwhelmingly against them.
Less successful were the attempts to
salvage another ship of the armada. In
the Bay of Tobermory, in Northern Scot
land lies the Florencia, the flagship of
the admiral, which carried the expedi-
tion's largest store of gold. Proudly it
sailed into the harbor in the year of
1888. The arrogant Don Pereira, it's COM
mander, sent messenger ashore for more
provisions. The Highlanders refused his
request unless the great Don would send
troops to aid the MacLean clan in it's
feud with the MacIans The Don sent
them soldiers and received the provisions,
for which he had promised to pay a
double handful of gold.
Once he had received the food, how
ever, the grandee determined to evade
payment. The canny Scots seized three
Spanish officers as hostages, but Don
Pereira retaliated by kidnapping young
Donald MacLean. The anchor was

stroys it utterly within
a comparatively short
time. The vessel decays
until there is no SEM

carry sand and mud

And so adventures

Men who claim that they

WASHINGTON, May 31-Presi- dcntial candidates of today were just getting a start in life when the political spotlight shone upon the rugged features and massive body of Grover Cleveland, anti Ternany, reform Governor of New York.
 Cleveland led the Democrats out of wilderness of defeat that had endured 28 years by beating James G. Blaine of Maine, the ''plumed knight" in the 1884 Presidential racc.
 Appearing on the G. o. P. hori- zen were two men destined to play tremendous important roles in na- tional affairs. They were the young reformer" of New York City. Theodore Roosevelt, and the likewise youthful, yellcw-5eardsd Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu- setts.
 Enthusiastic Convention
 The Republicans nominated MT. Blaine amid a perfect hurricane of unclaimed enthusiasm" one frenzied gallerite climbing on a ceiling girder and seizing a flag in his teeth, waved it high above the sheering convention multitude"
 Young Roosevelt, opposed the nomination, and after Blaine's vic- tory the press said: Roosevelt feels very sad and is going to Da- kota to become cowboy"
 Cleveland, easily nominated, also won the election after bitter cam paign. The Republican platform of 1884 called for a high protective tariff, international bimetalism, the regulation of interstate tariff and the upbuilding of the navy. The Democrats denounced the tariff, pledged civil service reform and re- duction of taxes.
 Lily Langtry and Mary Anderson were stage favorites of the period and a boy named Calvin Coolidge was toiling on his fathers tiny farm at Plymouth, Vt. Franklin D. Roosevelt, now a candidate for the Democratic Presidential nom ination, was a 2-year-old baby in New York City, when Cleveland was elected.
 Preceding Cleveland had been James A. Garfield of Ohio, erst- while carpenter, who had defeated General Winfield s. Hancock of Pennsylvania by mere 1000 popu- lar votes.
