THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXI NO. 47 Refuses to Renew Membership Because of Attitude Toward Colored Attorneys NORTHERNERS SUBSERVIENT TO "COLORPHOBES" Professional Character and Standing No Title to Admission Boston, Mass., July 18. -A. E. Pillsbury, one of the leading members of the Massachusetts bar, has declined to renew his membership in the American Bar Association, because of its prejudicial action following the election of Butler R. Wilson, William H. Lewis and William R. Morris, the latter of Minneapolis, to membership in the association. As it will be remembered the election of the three men caused a big commotion, especially among the Southern members of the association. As soon as McReynolds became attorney general of the United States he requested Mr. Lewis' resignation as an assistant attorney general on the ground that the South would not stand for his membership in the association. Mr. Morris resigned from the association some months ago. Mr. Pillsbury, in a letter to the secretary of the Bar Association, declares that the association was actuated by race prejudice in opposing the entrance of colored members, that the provisions of the constitution were disobeyed and the association has gotten away from Zits former mornigs in trying to prevent all other colored lawyers from becoming members. "The action of the Association at Milwaukee and the conduct of the Executive Committee which preceded it, in trying to expel the colored members in open disregard to the Constitution, and when this attempt failed, in drawing the color line, by application of the age, against all other colored lawyers equally entitled to admission under the Constitution, dissolved my relations with the Association. Of the various offences involved in that proceeding, color prejudice, contemptible as that appears to me, is perhaps the least. Conduct of which the prevailing elements are cowardice, hypocrisy, fraud and force is not the conduct of gentlemen, or of such lawyers as I am accustomed to associate with though I make no pretensions to superior virtue. This is not merely my own opinion of it. The public press rezoned its true character, and made the Association deservedly an object of public ridicule and contempt. Would you or would Judge Dickinson, the putative father of the bastard resolution, like to see the specifications, or the press comments in that part of the country where the press is free, collated and published? "I was invited to join in the remonstrance of ex-President Storey and other Massachusetts members, but regarded it as inadequate to the case. Apparently that faint note of dissent is not likely to be heard of again, though the action of the Association is peculiarly an affront to Massachusetts which is responsible for two of the three colored members. Undoubtedly the action at Milwaukee will stand, as any body who saw the riot there would expect. There is at least one Massachusetts member who takes the metaporphosized Association at its true value. A handful of Southern JAMES D. CARR colorphobes, with the help of the usual subservient Northern majority, have captured it and turned it into a sort of Bourbon club, to which professional character and standing is not a title to admission, the first qualification now being one unknown to the Constitution and having no relation to anything professional. I never came into any such compact as this. The Association is no longer a Bar Association, in any proper sense. As the Association which I joined, it has ceased to exist, and I am relieved from paying it the formal compliment of resigning my membership." The Government Puzzled Washington, July 18.—While any effort may be made by the State Department to have the extradition treaty with France changed to permit Jack Johnson's extradition, he may never be brought back. Some regard his going as a good rid dance. Should he remain out of the country his personal bond of $30,000 will be forfeited, as well as another bond for $15,000. Should he ever come back he will have to serve his prison sentence of a year and a day for alleged white slavery. Another Bank Organized Ocala, Fla., July 18.—The colored business men of Ocala and vicinity have organized bank with a capital, of $25,000 Headquarters have been secured in the building of the Metropolitan Realty Company, on Magnolia street.

Drew Wins Again Chicago, July 18.— Howard Drew, the athlete, won the individual honors in a meet of the Amateur Athletic Union last Saturday. Prof. Clark A Suicide Mt. Airy,N. C., July 18 — Prof. Hamilton Clark, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, at Greensboro, committed suicide a few days ago by shooting himself. Some months ago, he was willed a large sum of money by a white man. Central Church Dedicated St. Louis, Mo., July 18.—Exercises incident to the dedication of the new Central Baptist Church are in progress here. Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt, of Philadelphia, preached the dedicatory sermon. COMMISSION SAYS CARR WILL STAY Will Not Give Way to Henry Taylor as Vice Chairman of Exposition Committee OPPOSITION OPPOSED TO ECONOMY POLICY Injunction Obtained by Mr. Taylor Restraining Commission From Disbursing Funds The New York Emancipation Commission has sent to the Afro- Amreican Ledger a statement deny in some of the allegations of differences as to the personnel of the commission. The article appeared in a New York special to this paper last week. The statement denies that there is any opposition to the continuance of Robert N. Wood as chairman and asserts that "the commission has been misrepresented and maligned by one man (presumably-Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age) who failed in his efforts to become a member." The statement follows: "Your New York dispatch, published in the last issue of the Afro-American Ledger, is the first intimation that New Yorkers have of any 'strong opposition' in reputable or responsible quarters to the personnel of the Emancipation Commission, and especially to the tenure of the office of chairman by Robert N. Wood. Mr. Wood was, on the recommendation of Governor Sulzer, elected chairman by his fellow members of the commission J. Henry Taylor was designated a member of the commission to succeed Sumner H. Lark, who had resigned the gratuitous portfolio of a commissioner in order to become a salaried employee of the commission, with the title of director general. While a member of the commission, Mr. Lark had been elected vice chairman upon his nomination by the Governor, the election being the legal form of gratifying the Governor's choice, which the commission was not bound to respect. On the resignation of Mr. Lark, before the commission knew who, if indeed anyone was to be appointed as a ninth member, in order that there might be no delay in prosecuting their business they proceeded in accordance with the law to elect James D. Carr as vice chairamn. When later, Mr. Taylor came, he had nothing but his own word to show that the Governor desired him to be vice chairman. He subsequently had these words inserted in his original commission, but the other members have refused to honor him as such. "Mr. Taylor obtained an injunction restraining the commission from disbursing any of its funds without his signature as vice chairman. This injunction lasted only twenty-four hours, for the State Comptroller recognized the legally elected vice chairman, Mr. Carr. Far from withholding the appropriation, the State is doing nothing to hinder the commission in its work. "The most noisy obstacles to the prosecution of the commission's task have been the lungs of colored all contents with the policy of economy which the overwhelming majority insists upon exercising. The commission has also been represented and maligned by one man who failed in his efforts to be appointed a member, but with the few exceptions of this type the confidence of the colored people in the city and State have never M. S. S. been larcking in the integrity and ability of the men who have to make the Emancipation Exposition." Seguin, Tex., July 17—Prof. J. R. E. Lee, head of the academic department of Tuskegee Institute for the past twelve years, has been elected president of Guadalupe College. He was a recent visitor here and made a fine impression. The college has a farm of 320 acres three miles from the city limits. Plans are now under way for the erection of two new dormitories on the farm, and the whole plant may be moved here. The school is controlled by the Guadalupe Missionary Baptist Association. Its name may be changed to Brackenridge University, in honor of one of is wealthy benefactors. Bishop Walters in California Los Angeles, Cal.,July 18—Bishop Alexander Walters preached to a large congregation at the A. M. E. Zion Church Sunday. He lectured at the church Wednesday night. To interviewers he expressed the belief that the race would receive political recognition at the hands of the Democrats. Mrs. Walters is with him. Both attended the recent Christian Endeavor Convention. At a recent reception to .1918 crop of graduates from various educational institutions in Southern California, Miss Glayds R. Harris, a graduate of the Pasadena High School, was awarded a scholarship in the University of California. The second annual session of the California Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias came to an end last night. In Interest of Y. M. C. A. Nashville, Tenn., July 17.—A meeting to stimulate greater interest in the Colored Y. M. C. A. was held at the Majestic Theatre Sunday. Dr. S. S. Caruthers, chairman of the committee of management, presided. The Y. M. C. A. is doing a good work, but is housed in inadequate quarters. A meeting for and by young men will be held this Sunday. A New Y. M. C. A. Dedicated Indianapolis, Ind., July 17.—Exercises incident to the dedication of the $100,000 new home of the Colored Y. M. C. A. have just ended here. Among the speakers were International Secretary J. E. Moorland, Booker T. Washington, former vice president Charles W. Fairbanks and George L. Knox, editor of the Freeman. The building is situated at the corner of Senate and Michigan avenues, and is three stories in height. It has reading rooms, assembly hall, 61 normatory rooms, baths, billiard room, gymnasium, bathing pool and a $2,000 cafe. PUBLIC PLACES MUST NOT DISCRIMINATE Attorney General Carmody Says Discrimination is Plainly Against the Law Color Must Be No Bar To Admission to Public Places After September 1, 1913 Albany, N. Y., July 17.—That race discrimination in places of public accommodation and resort are plainly against the law has been plain in a statement issued by Attorney General Carmody. The statement followed Mr. Carmody's having his attention called to the fact that some places of public resort and accommodation were circulating printed material asserting that they did not desire the patronage of certain races. He calls attention to the fact that such discriminations will be unlawful after September 1. The recent Legislature passed an amendment to the Civil Rights law, proposed by Assembly men Levy and backed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, greatly strengthening the law. Since then number of discriminations, especially in theaters, have been stopped. The statement of the Attorney General is, as follows: "The Civil Rights law was amended by the last Legislature, which amendment takes effect September 1, 1913, and provides that full and equal accommodations, advantages, and privileges shall be enjoyed by all persons within the jurisdiction of the State at all public resorts, places of amusement, or of public accommodation. The amendment further provides that no person being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent, or employee of any such place shall, directly or indirectly, refuse, withhold from or deny to any person any of the accommodations, advantages, or privileges thereof, or directly or indirectly publish, circulate, issue, display, uost or mial any written or printed communication, notice or advertisement, to the effect that any of the accommodations advantages, and privileges of any such person on account of race, creed, or color, or that the patronage or custom thereat, of any person belonging to or purporting to be of any particular race, creed, or color is unwelcome and not desired or solicited. The production of any written or printed communication, advertisement, or notice announcing any such discrimination is admissible against the proprietor, lessee, superintendent, or manager as presumptive evidence of an intent to violate this law in any civil or criminal action. "The public places to which this law applies are inns, taverns, hotels, either for transient guests, or for the accommodation of those seeking health, recreation or rest, restaurants, eating houses, public conveyances on land or water, bath houses, barber shops, theatres and music halls. "My attention is called to circulars being put out by health resorts in which it is announced that certain races are-not welcome and will not be received. Such notices are plain violations of this statute on and after September, 1 1913, at which time the law takes effect, and subject the proprietor, agent or superintendent to the penalty." provided in this act. "The new law, the Attorney General points out, provides that any person violating is provisions shall be liable to damages of not less than $100 nor more than $500, to be recovered by the person aggrieved. A violation also is made a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500, or imprisonment of not less than thirty nor more than ninety days, or both fine and imprisonment, may be imposed." Taylor May Yet New York, July 18.—Despite statements to the contrary, it seems that these opposed to the alleged way that the Emancipation Celebration Commission is doing things have succeeded in arousing Governor Sulzer, and Chairman R. N. Wood is said to have received a letter from the Governor's secretary telling him that a big delegation had complained about him and several members of the commission. The letter directs that the commission elect J. H. Taylor as vice chairman, otherwise the commission may be removed and another appointed. The commission has selected the Twelfth Regiment Armory for the exposition, which will be held the last week in October. 'REBS' WANT UNION PAY Want Uncle Sam to Pay Them For Fighting Against Him In Civil War Washington, July 18—"Pensions for the soldiers that fought against the Union" is the slogan of the Democrats from the South nowadays. Intrenched in power for the present in the national government, successful to a large degree in their country-wide propaganda against the Negro, there are some now who are desirous of showing still further ascendency of the Souht's prestige through the pensioning of Confederate soldiers. The idea took deep root at the reunion, held at Gettysburg a fortnight ago, and several bills have been introduced into Congress looking toward that end. In 1911, all the Southern States from Virginia to Texas paid out $5,780,833.58 to Confederate veterans as against $12,489,667.21 paid by the federal government to those who wore the blue. Colored men in the Southern States are even taxed to pay the Confederate veterans. Congressman Richard Pearson Hobson, of Alabama, has introduced the following resolution in Congress, which means that he national government shall pay half of the pensions going to Confederates should his resolution prevail; "That the Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized and directed to establish and maintain a roll of all Confederate veterans pensioned by the several States, with the amount of the pension received by each veteran, and with the amount each veteran would receive were he a veteran of the Union, and to pay to each Confederate veteran out of such moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the difference between the two amounts, provided that, in no case shall the amount paid by the United States exceed the amounts paid by the State." To grant the Confederates pensions would be a complete reversal of the present scheme of allowing penisons Union soldiers and only such of them as served ninety days or more and were dishonorably discharged for their labors in saving the Union. Thrifty Arkansas Organization Founded Four Years Ago by Dr. R. A. Williams Has Increased Its Number From Thirty to Over Two Thousand. Importance of Education. Helena, Ark. — Realizing that complaints and wallings never yet made a race or nation and never will, there are many strong men in the race who are working to accomplish something for the whole race in a practical way through organization. The country is full of able, well trained men who are making good and who are being heard from. There are many also who are doing great work who are not so well known to the public. The country is full of organizations. Hon维尔威 institutions coming from the brains of educated men, and these men and institutions are doing a good work. Dr. Richard A. Williams has taken a place in the front rank. He is yet a young man. He is the supreme president of the Royal Circle of Friends, which is one of the strongest [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. DR. R. A. WILLIAMS. societies in the country both in numbers and finance. Dr. Williams is a native of Forest City, Ark. At the commencement of the Forest City public school in 1880 young Williams received his diploma, but he felt that he was not educated, but just ready to study; hence in the fall he entered the Arkansas Baptist college in Little Rock, under Professor J. A. Booker, declaring that it was his desire to be a great man or to do something in life that would count. He remained in the college and graduated in 1896 with honors. Feeling that there was a higher work to be performed by him, he found his way to Mehary Medical college, Nashville. Tenn., expressing there a desire to be a medical doctor. He passed the examination and was admitted to the college. His wonderful ability attracted the attention of the dean of the department and the faculty in general. Mehary has turned out many able physicians, and the class of 1902 is considered a historic one, because many young men of the class have won fame in their profession. Dr. Richard A. Williams is a member of that famous class. It was in May of 1905 that Dr. Williams moved his office and all of his belongings to Helena, where he enjoys the distinction of having one of the largest practices in this section of the country. During the month of August, 1900, Dr. Williams called together a number of friends and after a long conference with them organized the Royal Circle of Friends and instituted the first subordinate branch in Helenn, Sept. 1, 1000, with a membership of thirty. Rapid has been the growth of the order until today there are 750 subordinates, with a membership of 21,000, and 400 juvenile lodges, composed of boys and girls with a membership of 4,000. The order is composed of doctors, lawyers, merchants, editors, stenographers, bookkeepers, bankers, druggists, dentists, professors, college presidents, teachers, farmers, preachers printers—in fact, every line of trade, business or profession followed by the race is represented. Education is held prominent as one of the features of the order. It is believed that in order for the race to make any degree of headway if must furnish thinkers. It is maintained that a thoughtless race is a useless race, and it is also a criminal race — hence the Afro-Americans are urged to educate their children in order to make them men and women of thought. Since the organization of the Royal Circle of Friends $100,000 has been paid to wildows and orphans by the endowment department. In this way many homes have been saved to members of the race. The supreme treasurer reports on hand, and in the banks $80,000 in cold cash, and the society is out of debt. Mrs. Williams, who is a graduate printer from LeMoyne institute, Memphis, is connected with the printing office, which is valued at $10,000 owned by the order and from which office the official organ, the Royal Messenger, is printed. PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION. Public Enjoy Independence Day Exercises at Berean Baptist Church Brooklyn. - Following a custom of ten years' standing, a most helpful, patriotic and educational public meeting in observance of Independence day was held on the lawn of the Berean Baptist church in this city July 4. The movement had its inception in the thrift and industry of the Rev. Dr. L. J. Brown, founder and for twenty-two years pastor of the Berean Baptist church. Dr. Brown was impressed with the idea of such a service where the people might enjoy themselves to better advantage than at the crowded resorts near the city. On the large campus of the church they would be free from the danger of firebrands and undesirable associations. The pastor's idea is correct, and the people are giving him great credit for his personal interest in their welfare. The exercises were held under the auspices of a committee of 100 citizens and were presided over by Dr. Owen Merldith Waller, M.D. The introductory remarks of the presiding officer were most timely and were in a large measure responsible for the trend of thought enunciated by the speakers which followed. Dr. Waller is nothing less than the kernel of common sense and practical to a fault in matters of public moment. He is therefore rapidly coming into leadership because of his manifest interest and deep concern for the advancement of the race. The Rev. N. Peterson Boyd, rector of St. Philip's P. E. church, was the first speaker. The general topic for discussion was "Race Prejudice In a Republic." Dr. Boyd cited many instances of race prejudice within his own race, showed its benign effect and suggested a remedy for wiping it out. The Declaration of Independence was read by N. Barnett Dodson, who was followed by Lawyer James L. Curtis of New York city, the principal speaker of the afternoon. Counselor Curtis was earnest and logical in the discussion of the subject and made it plain that there was unignificant prejudice from without to engage the attention of the whole race to combat its influence and effect upon our people without having to fight prejudice within our own ranks. Attorney Francis F. Giles of this city made the closing remarks, which were full of wisdom and common sense. Dr. Brown was much pleased with the program. Dinner was served to the speakers at Dr. Brown's private table, while refreshments were sold to the public on the lawn. The young people enjoyed themselves with ball playing and games. Much good will result from the sound advice of the speakers if put into practice. Optimism was the keynote of the celebration, as the speakers outlined the possibilities of the race to rise through union and co-operation along all lines. THE HEMANS-HOWARD AFFAIR Pun Poked at Howard's Color Line Bill by a Lawyer. The full text of the letter which Attorney Charles H. Hennans recently sent to Representative William Schley Howard, author of the bill to separate white and colored passengers on the street cars in the District of Columbia, which created such a stir among Afro-Americans in Washington, is given here as follows: Hon. William Schley Howard, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. Representatives, washington, D.C. Sir-1 noticed an article in the Washington Times.last week stating that you had introduced in the house of representatives a bill drawing the color line on trooper cars in the District of Columbia. 1 heartbeat, a attitude and enderow, but must say that your bill does not go far enough. It should also contain a provision making it unlawful and punishable in the police court of the District of Columbia for any colored person to be served in white drug stores or other stores, or to be treated by white physicians, or, where their liberty or property rights are involved, to be served by white lawyers. If you will amend your bill in accordance with the above suggestions I think it would serve the intended purpose and keep both races apart in every material respect. I think that if segregation laws are to be brought about by congressional legislation for the District of Columbia they ought not to be half cocked affairs. In all the heavy Negro states the laws forbid intermarriage between the races, and even where there is no statute law public sentiment is pronounced and unmistakable. There are about 2,000,000 mulattoes in the United States, which number in daily increasing by reason of the illicit intercourse between white men and colored women, to say nothing of the 300,000 or more octoorons and other who perhaps have not clearly identified passed over to the objection. If there were adequate segregation laws we would not have to look upon that bleak affair. New England Women Hold Big Meeting The woman's convention connected with the New England Baptist missionary convention recently held in Washington, Mrs. E. B. Holland president, was well attended. Reports showed that the women had had a most successful year. The women donated $150 to the convention proper, to be used for the various objects as it sees fit. The receipts of the women's department were over $400. Several new bodies were added to the women's department from the states represented under the enlargement of the convention. Physicians to Meet In Nashville Aug. 26 The Rock City Academy of Medicine and Surgery in Nashville, Tenn., will have as its guest from Tuesday, Aug. 26, to Thursday, Aug. 28, the National Medical association. Physicians, dentists and pharmacists compose the membership of the latter organization. Much interest is being aroused in the coming meeting by members of the profession throughout the states. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER Fourth Annual Chautauqua at National Religious Training Institution Inspires Hope and Renewed Confidence In the Wise and Effective Leadership of Dr. James E. Shepard. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Durham, N. C.-This city is again an animated scene occasioned by the fourth annual summer school and Chautauqua of the National Religious Training school. As a great tobacco center Durham is known throughout the country. Among Afro-Americans it is especially known because of one of the greatest economic movements among them having been successfully launched here—one of the most successful movements among our people anywhere in this country. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident association is a synonym for hustle and ability to create animating ideals. Not alone have these two concerns made Durham the cynosure of the world, but an educational center. Although of a few years' existence, they have created a kind of individualism in educational circles that cannot be defined by a short phrase. It has met a peculiar need among the masses in this section. These institutions have combated and have triumphed in the fight for ideals which will never die as long as there are men of the type of their founders. These institutions represent the birth of an idea for the development of our people that cannot be discounted. A conception that has been employed by many—that a certain phase of education is only conducive to the best development of the race—has, in a measure, been 'discounted to quite a degree by this movement. The National Religious Training school has certainly caused a deep awakening of "race consciousness." This fact cannot be denied, said a 1910 REV. DR. E. M. BRAWLEY. prominent educator. The Chautauqua has given the race a new lease of life and is to the Afro-American what Winona and Northfield are to the white people. Events at this institution are of far-reaching effect. It has animated thousands by its own special gifts by the expressions of a group of collective ideals revealed by such characters as Drs. Du Bois, Kelly Miller, D. Webster Davis, Moore of Howard university; Dr. W. Y. Chapman, the great pulpitteer and lecturer; Dr. E. M. Brawley, pastor of the White Rock Baptist church and one of the ablest pulpitteers and religious writers in the country and a prominent educator. The common effort of this class of men and such pedagogues as Professor Charles H. Boyer and religious and social workers as Dr. John E. Ford of Jacksonville, Fla., has sharply caused a consciousness on the part of hundreds that have been inspired by them at this Chaunduqua that the young colored Americans especially are developing their gifts and are conscious of their individuality. Because of such each summer there comes to this city a class of people that take in the kind of culture, combined with ambitions striving, that makes Durham a concrete force in racial uplift. Here people of kindred aspirations and larger hopes congregate for six weeks each year for the betterment of conditions among Afro-Americans, and this year there is no exception to the past events at the summer school. The lectures are up to the standard. The lectures of Dr. Bruwley have also created an encouraging interest among the people in the city, he being a brilliant and logical thinker, and very definitely expressing the facts that are conducive for development. He is a potent factor in the activity of the Afro-American, especially in North Carolina. Louisiana Baptist State Convention. The annual meeting of the Louisiana Baptist state convention will be held in Monroe, La., beginning July 30, closing on Friday, Aug. 1. The Sunday school department will begin its session on Monday, July 28. By F. A. MITCHEL In the city of Bungalore, in India, one Kadur, an old man, lay dying. His wife knelt by his bedside—there were no children—waiting for the end and praying to Vishnu in his behalf. In India they believe in the transmigration of souls, and the woman prayed that in order that she might have her husband near her his spirit might pass into the body of one of her jets, of which she had a great many. When she was satisfied that he was dead she left the body where it lay and, weeping, went out to another room. As she opened the door she saw in the middle of the floor a tiny monkey that had just been born looking up at her with a peart face and a pair of bright eyes. Whether or not it was her imagination that made this human-like countenance appear in her eyes to resemble her late husband it is impossible to say. Certain it is that she took the little creature up in her arms and hugged it to her bosom, at the same time thanking her god that he had answered her prayer, for she did not doubt that the soul of him she loved had passed into the body of the monkey just born. Now, the woman was rich, and this is what she did. She made a will, leaving all her property to the monkey so long as it lived, and at its death it was to go to her nephew, Rustom, a boy of whom she was very fond. She also bequeathed the monkey to a woman in whom she had great confidence, who was to have a large sum for its care as long as it lived. It was thus made the interest of its keeper to preserve its life as long as possible. The widow lived three years after her husband's death. When she died her nephew, Rustom, was about eighteen years old and had a sweetheart. Naturally he wished to marry and needed the money. But the woman, Dulmara, who was getting large pay for taking care of her ward, realizing that Rustom was interested in its death, redoubled her efforts to keep the monkey alive. She put it in a wing of the house, had iron bars put on all the windows, and no one was permitted to go in to it without passing through apartments occupied by herself. But those precautions were not necessary, for Rustom had been brought up to believe that his uncle's soul was in the monkey and if he killed it he would be guilty of a crime. But Agran, the girl he wished to marry, had been to a Christian mission school and did not believe in the transmigration theory. She could not see why a monkey should prevent her and the youth she loved from enjoying a fortune. Indeed, she thought no more of killing a monkey than a dog. Besides, it was plain that Dulmara might at the monkey's death substitute another monkey in its place and keep on thus substituting monkeys till the crack of doom. She therefore determined that the little beast should die. Fortunately for her intention, Rustom's love for her was not known to Dulmara, nor had Dulmara ever seen her. One day Agra appeared to Dulmara and said that she had a singular dream. But before she told the dream she looked about her at the pets which were wandering around. A hen was sitting on some eggs, upon seeing which Agra told her dream. She said that a woman had appeared to her in her sleep and said that her husband's soul was in a monkey in a house which she described. The woman herself had died and passed into the body of a cow (sacred in India). The cow was about to die, and the woman's spirit had been permitted by Vishnu to be born in the house where her husband lived in a monkey's body. She would come out of an egg. The girl was instructed to go to the house described, and the first chicken hatched in that house would contain the spirit of the wife of the man whose spirit inhabited the monkey. She was to have the care of the chicken. There is no end to the superstition in the people of India, and Dulmara believed the story. While the two were talking a wee chick picked through the shell of an egg, and this settled the matter. Dulmara did not dare to turn Agya away for fear of the wrath of the tiny bird which might contain the soul of her from whom she drew her stipend. The girl was at once taken into the household and given the care of the chicken. She took it in to see the monkey, but the little brute evidently did not recognize it as its wife, for if permitted to get at it it would have eaten it. Agya, having effected an entrance to the household as well as access to the monkey, lost no time in carrying out the rest of her plan. Soon after her arrival the monkey slicked and died the next day. Though Agya did not admit that she had poisoned the monkey, she threw off the sham she had put on and, leaving her little ward to take care of itself, went to Rustom and told him that he had succeeded to his fortune. She being a witness to the death of the monkey, he had no trouble in securing his property. The two were married, but Agya did not then dare to tell her husband that she had killed the monkey lest he consider her a murderess. Years after, when she had converted him to her religion, she confessed. He was scarcely prepared for such a sim and in order to make him feel more comfortable she told him that his uncle had appeared to her in the form of a bird of paradise and thanked her for poisoning it.

Too much time on its hand is likely to get it into trouble. --- It is too late for us to answer the argument of the Sun paper this week but we will endeavor to do so in our next issue. What is the Sun paper trying to do? Is it trying to influence the Court of Appeals? Is there a veiled threat contained in its editorial of Friday morning! It looks very much like it. Are the Courts of Maryland to be influenced by justice or sentiment? --- The United States authorities do not seem to know whether they want Jack Johnson or not. At best it was a knotty problem, and a point had to be strained to put him to the bad. If Jack has good sense he will stay out of the United States. Mr. A. L. Pillsbury, of Boston, has written a letter to the American Bar Association, which will in all probability make some of the members make a wry face. Sometimes truths are very unpleasant things. But the white folks of the South are so hide-bound that more impression can be made on a duckey's back than upon them. --- It is a pity that almost every time when there is special activity on the part of the enemies of the colored man that some cheap, common Negro should make it possible for our enemies to say more mean things about us. We would find no fault with the authorities should they make an example of this kind of Negro by railroading him to his point of destination in the shortest possible time. He is not only a diagrace to his race but to common humanity. Get rid of him is the shortest way, but by law. In quite a large number of States preparations are being made to celebrate the fiftyth anniversary of our birth of freedom, with expositions of various kinds, showing the progress the Afro American has made, during the past fifty years. Maryland is a good way behind. not even a public meeting so far having been scheduled. Of course the legislature did not make any appropriation, simply and largely because no one asked for one. It is not too late even now to set on foot some kind of celebration, either in the way of an exposition, a State fair, or something of some kind to sh.w that we have not forgotten the fact that fifty years ago, the proclamation was issued that made us free men. About some things we are entirely too forgetful. --- Were it not for the harm that comes to us from the pernicious activity of these southern Congressmen'n introducing jimcrow legislation, it would be to laugh at the incompetency of the average congressman coming from that section. There seems to be only one thing in his mind, and that is the poor Negro. Such poor, narrow minded people are to be pitted. THE CONSTITUTION Just what the Fathers of the country had in mind when they drew the Constitution of the United States providing for a legislative department which should make the laws, an executive department which shuL see that the laws made were properly executed, and a department of justice to see that the laws made were just and proper ones. We do not know, but we do believe that it was their intention to provide these departments so that all the citizens of this country should have equal and exact justice, and that the laws should be obeyed by all alike, and no special interests should be conserved. It is true that when the constitution was written and adopted, the larger part of the colored people of this country were in a state of slavery, and to them, to a certain extent, these laws would not apply. It was not the intention that anyone who had the right of citizenship should be deprived of any right or any privileges attached to that right of citizenship, and so the Bill of Rights provides that no citizen shall be deprived of his property or civil rights without due process of law, and that due process of law should apply equally to one and all. Every man was to be entitled to the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Each and all of these were to be the仁慈ible rights of every citizen. As has been said, the colored people were not at that time considered as citizen. Since that time, however, amendments to the Constitution have conferred upon colored men the right of citizenship, and with that right all the privileges conferred by that particular right of citizenship. In a certain portion of these United States these rights have been from time to time curtailed by the powers that be, until now in many states the Negro has absolutely no right that any ordinary legislative body, in defiance of the Constitution and its several amendments, may not take away. And if this is not enough, the supreme lawmaking body of the United States, by a simple enactment, attempts to take away from the Negro these rights guaranteed by the Constitution and its several amendments. The civil rights of a people are as much to be conserved as their political rights and with civil rights minimized to the last degree, what has become of the constitution. It has not been two months since the last constitutional amendment was adopted by a three-fourths vote of the States. The several Constitutional amendments were adopted in the same way, and these amendments, in conjunction with the origin Constitution, constitute the bulwark of American freedom. Of what use is it then, that a large part of the time of congress shall be taken up in discussing and passing these amendments, when by a simple resolution introduced and passed, these laws, which have taken so much of the time and money of the people and their representatives, can be abrogated? There is something radically wrong here. These amendments stand for something or they stand for nothing. If they stand for something, then the people ought to have the benefit of them, and if they stand for nothing then the time and money spent in passing them have both been spent in vain Discriminations of this kind and character in the laws of the lapd were never intended by the fathers. Just as well make laws for redhead men, or cross-eyed women, or for the Irish, the Dutch the Bohemian, the Scandanavian, or any other nationality as to make a law discriminating against color of the skin. One is as feasible as the other. The time has come when these discriminating laws should be put an end to and let every man be he, white or black, blue or green, take his chances of going up or down. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM THE PEOPLE'S FORUM I want to thank you most sincerely for giving insertion to my note of last week, and at the same time, I want to express my pleasure at the promptness of the Citizens' Committee in making acknowledge ment with respect to the financial outcome of the recent affairs for the benefit of Provident Hospital. I was glad to observe that they seemed to anticipate what was in my mind, concerning the importance of a prompt public announcement. I am quite sure that in their anxiety about the general report, the latter of mention of the liberality of the authorities of the Galilean Fishermen's Hall in generously giving the use of their hall, without any charge for the after entertainment of the visiting guests, was overlooked. The committee need not make any further acknowledgement of the matter for the authorities will know that it was an oversight. Joseph P. Evans A Suggestion Mr. Editor:— In view of the fact that certain persons deplore the manner in which the Citizens' Committee raised its money for Provident Hospital, as well as the method adopted by certain young ladies to secure funds for another meritorious organization and realizing that these people who thus object, may be correct and some of us wrong. I would respectfully suggest to them that they might add force to their criticisms, if they raise a similar amount in the same length of time, by their (to their minds) superior methods. Criticism that destroys without replacing amounts to little. We can all sit in a chair, with pipe in our mouths, and pick to pieces what other folks do, but it takes real men to really accomplish some thing. I am proud of the young men whoused their best efforts in behalf of Provident Hospital and I do not believe any one in the same short time could do better than they did. E. B. Taylor Chairman Citizens' Committee. THE WEST W. C. Houston and C. H. Calloway, attorneys of Kansas City, appealed as attorneys for Dr. William H.

Movement On Foot For Public Park Hagerstown, Md., July 1.—A movement has started in the City Council to open a public park for the white people of this city. Those favoring the project say that the colored people should have their pleasure resorts separate from the whites, and add that there is not enough money in the city treasury to provide a park for the colored people of this city. The attitude of the City Council is being resented by the colored residents here. A few weeks ago, Judge Keedy, in an address before an educational gathreng declared that the colored people are growing better morally and that crime was decreasing. and the attitude of the City Council about the park matter is all the more unreasonable, when the opinion of a man like Judge Keedy is considered.

Pioneers in the field ofBusiness They Advertise Wake Up, You BIAS OF FEDERAL SUPREME COURT Annulment of Time Honored Civil Rights Act Causes Nation Wide Unrest Among Colored Americans Come, Let Us Reason Together, I apae Dixit of Militant Leaders. Pittsburgh.—A large mass meeting of colored people was held in Washington park auditorium July 4 under the auspices of the interdenominational Colored Ministerial association of Pittsburgh and vicinity for the purpose of expressing indignation concerning the recent decision of the United States supreme court. The meeting adopted resolutions calling the colored people throughout the country to co-operate in a general movement to procure adequate protection against the many wrongs from which the race suffers. The meeting was presided over by the Rev. W. L. Lee. D. D., pastor of the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church and president of the interdenominational association. Rev. P. A. Scott. D. D., pastor of the Wylie Avenue A. M. E. church and president of the Methodist ministers' conference of Pittsburgh, was chosen secretary. Most eloquent and instructive addresses were delivered by Dr. J. H. Uwelle of Braddock, Pa., Attorney Robert L. Vann and Dr. Israel S. Lee of this city. In all these addresses the growing discrimination against the Negro, the awful cruelties perpetrated upon him in all parts of the country and the spirit that actuated the decision of the supreme court were condemned in the strongest terms. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the large and enthusiastic gathering: Whereas, The supreme court of the United States recently handed down a decision declaring the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States of America, known as the civil rights bill, to be unconstitutional and therefore void, a decision calculated to serve notice upon the Afro-American of the powers that lie in his right to deprive the American Negro of all his rights and privileges, benefits and immunities contemplated in the scope of American citizenship, such as are enjoyed by members of other race varieties, from whatever shores they come, no matter how short their residence and in the absence of any contribution whatever to the best good of the body politic of this nation. Whereas, It is publicly to be seen that this decision belongs to the same family of the many sentencing acts of legislation and judicial decisions, acts of discrimination and other civilizations and atrocities that seem to characterize the dominant race in its attitude to and treatment of the Negro; and, Whereas, It is our belief that we have exhausted all the resources at our command in our efforts to appeal to the highest reason and sense of justice of the American people, with a view to securing, in a measure at least, our constitutional rights as American citizens, but all in vain; and, Whereas, The American people are not lacking in evidence as to the merits of our claim to the fullest enjoyment of every privilege and benefit guaranteed by the constitution of the United States to every American citizen; to every American citizen in his presidency in the unworked treatment of the Afro-American is difficult of any other construction than that of a subtle purpose and intent to humiliate, crush and, in ordinary words, to reduce him to the condition of a thing rather than a man; therefore be it Resolved. That it is the sense of this meeting that the time has fully come when the Afro-American should rise up and speak our plainly to the American people to the effect that they may know that we know we are American citizens in the fullest sense of the term, whether others will concede it or not. At least four times greater a per cent of any other racial branch of American citizens can be found ancestry back at home generations on American soil. That we know our rights as citizens under the constitution as adopted in 1785 regardless of any subsequent amendments, and that we here serve notice on the American people that we shall demand our rights under the constitution of the United States, and that we will accept nothing short of their fullest recombination and bestowal. For these we propose to content to the death and will no longer allow ourselves to tamely suave do we propose to suffer and individually and in personly communities, states or sections that suit the prejudices and caprices of any; but, rather than be deprived of our liberties and rights, we propose to die as a whole. Be it further resolved. That this mass meet create a committee to communicate with our people in the several states of this Union with a view to holding a great mass meeting or convention in Washington to be composed of at least two delegates from each state, to be held at such time and in such manner as may hereafter be agreed upon. The following committee was elected to carry forward the provisions of the foregoing resolution: Revs. I. S. Lee. D. D.; W. D. Clinton. M. D.; C. D. Patterson. D. D.; W. L. Lee. D. D.; P. A. Scott. D. D.; J. H. Dwelle. D. D.; G. B. Howard. D. D.; Attorney R. I. Vann and Mr. R. D. Putney. Activity Among Local Business Men. State business leagues in the various sections of the country have been greatly encouraged recently by the appointment of the Hon. Ralph W. Tyler as national organizer for the national organization of which Dr. Boorer T. Washington is president. Each local league will send delegates to the annual meeting to be held in Philadelphia. Aug. 20. STATE PHYSICIANS MEET. North Carolina Medical Association Holds Fine Session in Newbern. Wilson, N. C.-At the recent meeting of the North Carolina Medico-Pharmaceutical and Dental association, held in Newbern, which had the largest attendance and most interesting sessions in its history; there was pronounced enthusiasm when Dr. F. S. Hargrave of Wilson offered a resolution to the effect that the state association extend an invitation to the National Medical association to hold its annual session for 1914 in the city of Raleigh. This resolution was unanimously passed and in every section of the state members of the various professions and prominent citizens are manifesting such an interest in the movement that it is already conceded, that if the invitation is accepted the national body will receive one of the greatest receptions in its history. Dr. Hargrave is especially known throughout the state for his ability and civic pride. He is regarded as one of the most progressive young men in the profession and is highly esteemed by all classes of citizens of both races. JOHN H. BURKE DR. E. S. HARGRAVES. An attestation of such a fact is the new Wilson hospital and tubercular home, now in course of erection. This institution will meet a very urgent need of the race in this section. White citizens of Wilson have subscribed over $0,000 for the hospital and farm. The hospital is centrally located, and the farm is two miles from the city. Some of the leading medical journals and the press have highly commended this movement, given birth in the fertile mind of Dr. Hargraves. The president of the movement is one of the most substantial and progressive Afro-American citizens in the country. Professor Vick is a graduate of Lincoln university and has done more for the procuring of decent homes for all classes of Afro-Americans in this section of the state than any other Afro-American in North Carolina. He is nationally known for his broadness and philanthropic endeavors. Professor Vick, who is a capitalist, is heartily in sympathy with the effort of the Medico-Pharmaceutical and Dental association to bring the National Medical association to Raleigh next year. National Organization Now Engaged In Work For Jubilee Meeting. Nashville, Penn.—Thursday. Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, which dates are Sept. 18, 18, 29 and 21, are set apart as special days at Greenwood park; this city, in which special attention will be given as the throng of visitors who will be attending the celebration of fifty years of freedom to be held in connection with the national Baptist convention. Confirmation of these days has already been made, and the arrangements for the installation of the exhibits, as well as for handling the crowds to and from Greenwood park, are going on a pace. It is understood at the headquarters that it will facilitate the handling of the exhibits if the commissioners from the various state conventions will instruct every one to send their exhibits plainly and legibly marked. While Mr. Henry Allen Boyd and his force of workers will be ever on the alert to see that the displays are properly arranged, the director can be materially helped by the marking of these exhibits before they are shipped, as the plan is to return them to their owners immediately. There will be much appreciation by the promoters of the exposition if the general public will take an interest in the scope of knowledge that these fifty years of jubilee will give the public, declares Mr. Royd, who said he was confident, that Dr. E. C. Morris, the president, would soon come to Nashville to further consummate the plans for the coming celebration. Florida Federation of Women's Clubs. The annual meeting of the Florida State Federation of Women's Clubs recently held in Gainesville, Fla., was the most profitable in its history. The tour of Mimes, Booker T. Washington and H. L. Dorrah through the state in the interest of the various features of work in which women are engaged is said to have greatly benefited the members of the organization. Mrs. E. J. Colyer, was elected president of the State Federation. The meeting for 1914 will be held in Tampa, and the federation will be the guest of the Tampa clubs. RELIEF FOR RUSH ZION CHURCH Financial Secretary of the Denomination Used His Own Funds to Meet Payment Due on Valuable Church Edifice, Which Carries Heavy Debt, Bishop Hood's Compliment. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.—Rev. Dr. J. S. Jackson, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion church, with headquarters in Birmingham, Ala., through a noteworthy business deal, has succeeded in saving the Rush Memorial Zion church in this city from being taken over by its creditors. The Rush Memorial Zion church, which was built under the pastorate of the Rev. J. H. McMullen, is one of the most beautiful of the Zion edifices. It is valued at $70,000. Owing to the heavy debt that hung over the church, the connection has been giving the matter grave concern, and it was feared by Bishop Hood that the church would eventually go into the hands of the creditors. The payment of $2,000 came due early in June, and the creditors had threatened to foreclose and take the church over. Realizing the embarrassment such a procedure would give the Zion connection. Dr. Jackson was summoned to New York to consult the creditors and save the connection from what seemed to be the inevitable. The lawyers were on the verge of entering suit against the church when Dr. Jackson, on the strength of his reputation, satisfied the creditors to the extent of $2,000 for one week. This clever transaction saved the church and the connection from what would have been a sore embarrassment. This is doubtless one of the most significant and telling business transactions put through in recent years by a church financier. This victory will be hailed with delight by the Zion connection and the race throughout the country. The ability of Dr. Jackson to save the church from embarrassment means much to the connection in this city. The Rush Memorial church is a monument to the Zion connection. It is located in a district where its influence is greatly needed. The signal service of Dr. Jackson to his church will increase the high regard in which he is already held by his fellow churchmen through his great ability as a church financier. Dr. Jackson has long been regarded as one of the ablest churchmen of the race and strands high in his church. He is a man of great parts and is one of the most gifted preachers in the Zion connection. His powers as a preacher were never more strikingly seen than at the New York annual conference, recently held in Yonkers. Bishop Hood, the senior bishop of the connection, speaks of him as past master as a gospel preacher. The high service Dr. Jackson has rendered to the connection has won for him the highest esteem from the board of bishops, and he is prominently mentioned as one likely to become bishop. Dr. Jackson was born in Green county, Ala., and is a graduate of the State Normal college at Birmingham. He was elected five years ago financial secretary of the Zion church, and his administration has been decidedly successful. FOREIGN MISSION WORKER. Secretary Jordan Raised Large Sum on Recent Southern Tour. Rev. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the foreign mission board of the national Baptist convention, is one of the most active men of the race in religious work. Dr. Jordan is a notable figure in the Baptist church and is successful in his efforts to foster the interest of the denomination. He wields wide influence, not only on matters bearing upon the work of his church, but in matters pertaining to the welfare of the race. He is foremost in all movements helping the race. He has been the means of inspiring many young men and women of the race to enter the missionary field in Africa. Dr. Jordan is intensely earnest in his work. During the early part of the spring he made a tour in the interest of the foreign mission board through Texas and Oklahoma. He was successful on this tour, and while at the Baptist convention the foreign mission board of the Texas convention contributed $1,500 to the support of the work. Dr. Jordan was pleased with the enthusiasm of the connection seen while in these states and made the statement that Baptists were awakening to their responsibilities of their less fortunate brethren in Africa as never before.

Washington. He received his preliminary training at the Baltimore-colored high school and Howard university. He is a son of John H. Murphy, editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson III.—Third Quarter, For July 20, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lescon, Ex. iii, 1-14. Memory Verses, 13, 14—Golden Text. Matt. v, 8—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. How many years are often passed over in silence, as in the life of Elijah, of whom we know nothing till we see him standing before Ahab, and John the Baptist, of whom we know nothing from his birth to his call to service, and these forty years of Moses' shepherd life. There came a day toward the close of these forty years when Moses, having led the hook to the back side of the desert even to Horeb, the mountain of God, saw something unusual, even a bush burning, but not consumed. As he turned aside to see why the bush was not consumed God called unto him out of the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses." If Moses had not turned aside to see that great sight he might perhaps have missed the call. If we would prayerfully consider every unusual thing that comes unto our lives we might hear the voice of God more often than we do. Note how Moses in his old age speaks of "the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush" (Deut. xxxiii, 16). Stephen in his sermon refers twice to the angel of the Lord which appeared to Moses in the bush (Acts vii, 30, 35). When Moses replied to the voice of Him that spake, saying "Here am I or "Behold me" he was told that it was the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob who was speaking to him, and he was told before the interview ended that this was His memorial name forever unto all generations (verses 6, 15, 16; iv, 5). The Lord Jesus referred to this incident at the bush in His reply to the Sudducees and used the same threefold name (Juke xii. 26, 27). The Lord after telling Moses who He was that spake to him then gave Moses to understand that it was none of his affair as to how it was to be done; he must put off his shoes, for it was a holy place, the presence of God, and He was to be the doer of it all. Joshua had the same orders as he was about to lead Israel into the promised land (Josh. v. 15). The key to the meaning of unshod feet is found in Deut. xi. 24; Josh. i. 3. In that light consider Isn. ivii. 13, and lay it to heart. While considering the name of Him who talked with Moses we might notice that other wondrous name given in reply to Moses' question, "I am that I am," or simply "I am" (verses 13. 14). In the New Testament, where we read His statement "I am he," you will notice the word "he" is in italics, so that He said simply "I am," as in John viii. 24; xviii. 6, and then He often added a name such as I am the door; I am the way, the truth, the life; I am the good shepherd; I am the Son of God, and many others in the book of Revelation. Having told Moses who He was. He then told him His purpose: I have seen. I have heard. I know. I am come down to deliver and to bring them up until a good land (verses 7, 8). He asked neither advice nor help from Moses but, having declared His purpose, He put before him a great offer in the words. "Come now, therefore, and I will send thee into Pharomoh, that thou mayest bring forth My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt" (verse 10). Notwithstanding God's revelation of Himself Moses did not grasp it, but began his objections and assertions of incompetence in such words as "Who am I that I should go?" "O my Lord, I am not eloquent. * * * I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue" (iii, 11: 1v. 10). How patient and graciously the Lord dealt with him, saying: "Certainly I will be with thee: * * * I have sent thee." "I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say" tiii, 12 iv, 12). When he was told to gather the elders of Israel and lay before them the Lord's purpose and was assured that they would hear him and was then told what he and they should say to Pharoh be again objected, saying. "They will not believe me nor hearten unto my voice, for they will say the Lord hath not appeared unto thee" (tiii, 16:18; iv, 1). Then he was given three signs, the rod and serpent, the leprous hand and the water turned to blood, each full of significance and bearing directly on the case. When he persisted in insisting that he could not speak his brother Aaron was given to him to be his spokesman or prophet, and the Lord said, "I know that he can speak well. * * * and thus speak unto him and put words in his mouth div. 14-16; vii. 1). Truly He is the God of patience, and we need to live in and be filled with the love of God and the patience of Christ (Rom xx, 5: II Thess. iii, 5, margin). The Lord knew well the heart of Pharaoh and that he would need sore judgments to humiliate him, but He would be patient even with him and bring Israel out with great spoil, even that which belonged to them (ili. 10-22). They did not borrow but asked or demanded (verse 22, R. V.1). Note in iv. 22, that the Lord calls Israel His son. His firstborn, and His firstborn being oppressed, the firstborn of Egypt must suffer if there is no repentance. The meeting of Moses and Aaron in the mount of God after forty years of separation and Moses' communication to Aaron of all that the Lord had said and done is interesting.
