His grandmother was' the great granddaughter of an African prince, This prince was stolen from Africa brought to Richmond and solgl in the slave markets of that city. Major Moton's early childhood was spent at Vaughn’'s mansion in Prince Edward ¢ounty, - Va. wher ‘he was waiter and general house boy. Scmething of the early difficulties young Moton ‘had to overcome in his early struggles for an education is told B a series of magazine articles writ- ten.by himself in the April, May and fugust numbers of the “World's ork” for 1907.

He re- mained at Hampton until 1888 when he left to teach school in Cumberland county. In October, 1899, he returned to Hampton and finished his course. The summer preceding his return- ing to Hampton he had found work in Philadélphia in John Wanamaker's store where he came directly under the influence of the late Robert C. Ogden, whose office among others it was his duty to ciean. He was grad- uated from Hampton in June, 1890. After graduation, he accepted a place under General Armstrong as drill master and later under Dr. Frissell, General Armstrong’s success, be- came commandant of the school ca- dets, a position which he has held for twenty-five years. Not to Charge Policies. In a statement issued by the com- mittee it is declared that by the elec- tion of Major Moton, “The policies aims and attitude of the institute will continue unchanged.” - The committee paid tribute to the ability of Emmett J. Scott, tempor- arily head of the institute since the death of Dr. Washington, as fol- lows: ‘In taking this action, the com- mittee has not been unmindful of the long devotion and of the many quali- fications of Mr. Emmett J. Scott for the-position. The problem to be dealt with is a many sided one and it has seemed wise to seek a solution of it that will bring to the work of Tus- kegee another forecful personality.” PEACE MEETINGS IN COPENHAGEN BARRED - Henry Ford, However, Will Go Their to Select Delegates to Accompany Party to the Hague. Christiania, Dec. 21.—Henry Ford has received information that he would be prohibited from holding meetings in Copenhagen, it was learned vesterday. He will go there, however, to select the delegates to accompany his peace party to The Hague. The party will leave Wednes- day for Stockholm. Mr. Ford expecis to go to Copenhagen in a week. The newspapers, in commenting editorially on the Ford peace mission, express little hope for its success. The *“Verdens Gang,” after saying that the expedition will live in his- tory, addsi— “The great industrial organizer has undertaken a gigantic task seemingly without a definite plan. His peace plan seems without shape and know nothing about it. The purpose is greatly admired, but it unfortunate- | Iy is vague. Nevertheless, it will fig- | ure in history.” The first detailed announcement of the plan for the expedition was made Sunday. Besides the already in the party ten people are to Jjoin from each of the following coun- tries: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Spain, and Switzerland. After Stockholm and Copenhagen have been visited all will assemble at The Hague. There the entire body will ‘choose three delegates from eacil country. Tt is stated that William Jennings Bryan will be among the Americans if he accepts the invita- tion. Twenty-one delegates will be empowdered to sit indefinitely. They will have a two-fold mission: i to suggest possible means of peace; second, to receive overtures for peace directly from the belligerents. ROOSEVELT FOR PR NT.

Not Italian London, Dec. 21.—An official com- munication issued here last night says:i— “The Italian naval attache says that the Italian ship sunk on December 5 was not the Italian liner Dante, Ali- ghiere, but the small cargo boat Dante, of 898 tons, of the Ionio Cat- ania company.” A dispatch from London December 10 announced that the steamer Dante Alighiere had been sunk. At tho time it was presumed that the steam- er was either the Italian Transatlan- tic company’s liner or a smaller bout of that name. Later it was definitely established that the liner Dante Ali- ghiere was safe in an Italian port. FEATHER IMPORTERS FINED.

A. HJERP 73 Arch Street NJUNCTION AGAINST SHOE CO. SUSPENDED Federal District Court’s Order Holds Until January 25 When Arguments Will Be Heard. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 21.—An order suspending the temporary injunction issued against the United Shoe Mas chinery company in the government suit under the Clayton law was issued in the federal district court here yes- terday. The order of suspension will hold until January 25, when the court will hear arguments on a motion to set aside the injunction. The injunctiox, or the order suspending it, do not af- fect the merits of the anti-trust sult, which may not be finally decided for two years. The injunction suspended was di- rected particularly against that cause in the leases of shoe machinery which gives the United Shoe Machinery company authority to terminate any lease if the leasing shoe manufacturer violates any provision of the lease. One provision, the government con- tends, prohibits a manufacturer who leases machines from the United Shoe Machinery company from using a competing machine. The temporary injunction was issued in the federal district court here on November 10, 1915.
