THEAFRICAN MERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXI NO. 49 DR. WASHINGTON FOR HIGHER EDUCATION Tuskegee Educator Does Not Believe in Curtailment of Higher Educational Ad- BIGGS NOT FOLLOWING HIS IDEA Occasions That Booker T. Washington is in favor of the curtailment of the higher education of the race, as claimed by School Commissioner Eiggs, is not bourne out by the published views of the noted educator. Mr. Biggs, who wants the academic curriculum of the Colored High School curtailed, contends that Booker T. Washington shares in his views of education for the race. Mr. Washington's views may be briefly summarized as follows: That while he believes in industrial education for preparing the masses for economic efficiency, he also strongly believes that the industrial masses need highly educated men for physicians, teachers, ministers, business and racial leaders. In an article on "University Education for Negroes" published in the New York Independent for March 24, 1910, Dr. Washington praises the efficient work that Fisk University, located at Nashville, has done for the higher training of the race. PRAISE FOR FISK Dr. Washington says in this article: "Throughout the South and in other parts of the country as well, the colored people cherish a feeling of love and even reverence for Fisk University that is not generally understood by the rest of the world. It is a great reputation to have gained that sort of a reputation among the people for whom it exists. Fisk has in this respect, an addition advantage. I have been careful to note how highly the work of this school is esteemed by the white people in Nashville and throughout the State. I have never heard a white person in Nashville speak in any manner but the most friendly way of Fisk University. As between the Southern white people in Nashville and Fisk University, there is little or no race feeling and their relations do not, as is sometimes the case elsewhere, constitute a special problem that has to be considered and solved. I have been to Fisk University on public occasions when I have seen every inch of space in the auditorium crowded by the best white people of Nashville. This fact needs to be considered in estimating the value and usefulness of the school. "Fisk University, because of the work it has falready done, and because of the high place that it holds in the hearts of the colored people, is in a position where, if its work could be enlarged and perfected, could and should be of vastly greater service in the future than it has been in the past. "In looking over the list of Fisk graduates, I find that considerably more than half of them have gone out into different parts of the South as teachers. Some of the strongest men who are leaders in education, regligious work and the professions are graduates of Fisk University. In my trips through the Southern States, I have been surprised as well as gratified at the large number of Fisk men and women whom I have met, and almost without exception I have found that they are leading useful and honorable lives. For a number of years, we have had from twelve to fifteen men and women at Tuskegee, in different departments. For example, Mr. Clinton J. Callawzy, who has been so largely responsible for the organization and upbuilding of the rural schools of Macon and other counties adjoining Tuskegee, is a Fisk graduate. "In the discussion which is taking place as to the effect of one kind or another of education in solving the Negro problem we should bear in mind that education of no kind has been tried on a sufficiently large scale or with sufficient consideration of what are the actual needs of Negro people to show what education for the masses of people will do." Dr. Washington is a trustee of both Fisk and Howard Universities, institutions devoted to the highest training of the race. The following is a portion of an editorial which appeared in The Independent of the same date: "As an example of what a college or Negroes in the South can be and do Dr. Booker T. Washington in this issue chooses Fisk University, which is certainly one of the very best of its class, and he tells of its work and its needs. Dr. Washington has been much represented as one who is so devoted to industrial education that he feels no interest in the higher education of his people. This article will show to the contrary, and he has willingly accepted the position of trustee for Fisk as well as Howard University at Washington." Big Exposition For 1915 Chicago, July 31.—A movement has been launched here to hold a big national exposition in 1915 to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the freedom of the race. All of the States will be asked to participate. The Chicago Inter-Ocean, in giving editorial endorsement to the project, says: "At such an exposition the country will be enabled to see with its own eyes what the Negro has done and what he is capable of doing. The result of this should be that much of the senseless prejudice concerning him will receive a most effective blow." Asbury Restrained From Making Lodges Atlanta, Ga., July 31 — A perpetual injunction against the ancient order of Odd Fellows, Leeds-fraternity from setting up lodges in this State has been confirmed by the State Supreme Court. Sometime after the session of the Biennial Movable Committee of Odd Fellows, at Baltimore, J. C. Asbury, who had been editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, withdraw from the order and allied himself with the Ancient Order of Odd Fellows, Leedsternity. Among other lodges set up, was one in Macon. Acting under the advice of the Sub-Committee of management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, the District Grand Lodge of this State secured an injunction from the Bibb County Court against the new order. The lower court held that the name of the new order "was substatially similar" and "a colorable imitation" of the name of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The Supreme Court concurred in this view. This means that the adherents of Mr. Asbury can not setup lodges in Georgia. JIM CROW ME ADOU WILSON BRYAN JIM CROW JIM CROW CHURRED DEMOCRAT THE SOUTH IN THE SADDLE Norwich, Conn., July 30—A paper was read by J. H. Dennis, at the Bible and Literary society Sunday afternoon setting forth his objections to the word Negro. He has also offered a resolution in Washington, at the New England Baptist Convention that the word be eliminated from that and like organizations, since it is misapplied. First, it is not a proper name. Second, if Niger, Nigra means black or dark that is poor logic, as the syllogism has it. All Negroes are black, but all things black are not Negroes. Webster says nigger and Negro mean the ame—a black man of Africa, or his descendants. The meaning of this name is a derision, mockery contempt, ridicule, scorn and depreciated. Then why be still using such an ambiguous and inimical episode. We should avast it at once believes Mr. Dennis. He further contends that long before Greece, Rome, Germany, Ireland, England, Russia, France and even the United States were known or named, the Ethiopians were named. The name is good enough. Therefore we do not accept the mitigation from nigger to negro. Young's Casino Closed New York, July 31.—Young's Casino, the big $100,000 auditorium and concert hall at 134th street and Park avenue, has been closed. Lack of patronage is given as the reason. The Casino was built by Gibbon Young, and its formal opening a year ago was a big event. it is the biggest auditorium built by the colored people of the North. Ben Allen Loses License Atlantic City, July 31.—Ben Allen, politician and saloonkeeper, has lost his license. It seems that Allen got in bad with Mayor Riddle and his regime, and he lost out. He has turned his place into a political headquarters from which a campaign will be directed. Allen has long been a conspicious figure in local politics. Candidate For Legislature Louisville, Ky.. August 1.—Lee L. Brown will be a candidate in the primaries tomorrow for the Republican nomination for the Legislature. He has made a vigorous canvass Mr. Brown is editor of the Louisville News. Facilities Criticised Crisfield, Md., August 1—The poor school facilities on the Eastern Shore of Maryland were sharply criticised here at the annual session of the Easton A.M.E. District Conference, which came to an end last night at St. Paul A.M.E. Church. Some of the speakers urged that the attention of Governor Goldsborough be directed to prevailing conditions among colored schools. Rev. Robert E. Ford, presiding elder of the district, presided. The Sunday School auxiliary convention opened today, with John Woodhous, of Baltimore, presiding. Rev. W. C. Jason Re-elected Dover, Del., July 31.—Rev. W. C. Jason has been reelected principal of Delaware State College. Rev. S. L. Connwell will be continued as vice president, F. T. Parker as teacher in agriculture. Miss Helen Truxton, of Baltimore has been elected head of the newly-created domestic science department. Anniversary of Bishop Holsey Atlanta, Ga., July 30—The fortieth anniversary of Bishop L. H. Holsey as an active worker in the colored M. E. Church will be the occasion for special exercises and a reception for the senior prelate at the Butler Street C. M. E. Church next Wednesday and Thursday night. Those on the program for the two evenings include Revs. M. F. Brierson. J. W. Gilbert. C. L. Brower. J. H. Martin, G. L. Wood, N. F. Haygood, A. J. Cobb, P. J. Bryan and W. A. Fountain, Mr. R. H. Buller and B. J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent. To Make Educational! Tour Booker T. Washington is expected to make an educational tour of Maryland early in September Arrangements are being made by several leading citizens for the tour. Mr. Washington has not stopped at any place in this State for several years. Found $20,000 in Gold Rome, Ga., July 30—While plowing on his farm near here, Rev. A. James found an iron chest containing $20,000 in gold. Most of it was coined in 1548 and some was English money. PRICE THREE CENTS JIM CROW! SENATE MAY NOT CONFIRM PATTERSON New York Commission Having A Hot Time New York July 3.—Trouble for the commission arranging for the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the freedom of the race, here in October, seems to be growing. The latest is that leading residents here want the exposition to typify the progress made by colored New Yorkers. As one man expresses it: The major portion of the money appropriated by the State of New York should be spent in bringing out the work that New Yorkers are doing. There are hundreds of men and women of the race here who are doing remarkably well. Rather than have exhibits from all over the country overshadow the work of men and women of this State we should show to the world what progress is being made in a Northern State. It is stated on reliable authority that Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age did not seek a place on the Emancipation commission, but that Governor Sulzer was inclined to name him until several high in the councils of the United Colored Democracy objected to the Republican editor being named. Chicago, Ill., July 31—"A Little Dreaming" by Fenton Johnson, the well known writer, has been published by the Peterson Company. It contains some of the finest contemporary poetry: "Gifts of Love to Me" has a universal appeal, and "My Mother" is the noblest expression of race loyalty in literature. There are many lyrics, expressing the best lessons of the present generation of Negroes. The book is distinctive on account of the melody. Mr. Johnson is another Tennyson when it comes to word construction and romantic depths. "The Vision of Lazarus" a 15 page idyil, is full of oriental imagery and music. As a dialect poet, Mr. Johnson brings melody and romance to a broken speech. In the "Buelahla" is the happiest expression of Negro Memory, since Dunbar. St. Louis, Mo. July 31.—The new Booker T. Washington Theater has been opened here. It seats 1,800 people. Charles H. Turpin is the owner. --- --- "A Little Dreaming" By Washington Theatre Opens Tillman, Vardaman and Other Southerners Will Oppose His Confirmation IF CONFIRMED MUST STAND FOR "JIMCROWISM" J. C. Napier Highly Commended For Resigning Rather Than Accepting Segregation. (Special to Afro-American.) Washington, July 31—Adam E. Patterson, who has been named to succeed James C. Napier as Register of the Treasury, after the latter resigned rather than submit to "jimcrow" regulations in the Treasury building, may not be confirmed. Tillman, Vardaman, Hoke Smith and other Southern bourbons have announced that they are going to fight any nomination of a colored man, though he be a Democrat. Patterson hails from Oklahoma. His appointment was urged by Bishop Walters, head of the National Colored Democratic League and Senator Gore of Oklahoma. Since the announcement was made that several Southern Senators were going to oppose Patterson, Senator Gore has stated that an Indian was his first choice for the position. ACCEPTS "JIMCROW" It is said that before Mr. Patterson's name was sent to the Senate he was told by an official high in the Treasury department that he would have to submit to Jimcrawl regulations for himself and assistants. To this he is said to have agreed. Should he be confirmed by the Senate, the assistant registership will also be given to a colored Democrat as Democrats have announced that no colored man must be in authority over a white man. Mr. Patterson lives at Muscogee, Okla. He is a lawyer and estist a Democratic weekly. He took an active part in the Wilson campaign. MR. NAPIER PRAISED The resignation of Mr. Napier as a protest against "jimcrow" regulations has been generally commended. Many regard it as bringing squarely before colored Democrats whether or not they will accept office under galing conditions. A man of high type, conservative, every inch a gentleman, Mr. Napier is regarded as one of the best fitted mean that has ever held a big position here in years. He is a banker and lawyer and possesses considerable means. No colored Democrat has ever held the position of Register of the Treasury. Blanche K. Bruce, who served in the United States Senate from 1875 to 1881, was the first, serving under President Arthur. He held the position under President McKinley. At Mr. Bruce's death, Judson W. Lyons, of Augusta, Ga., succeeded to the office and then came W. T. Vernon. Mr. Napier's immediate successor. Annapolis, Md., July 31.—Campbell Clark, whose mother was white, was convicted of attempted rape upon a young white girl, and received the maximum penalty of five years in the penitentiary. The brilliant defense that was made for him by Attorney Thomas C. Nutter caused favorable comment on all sides. PUBLIC DENOUNCE |. JIMCROW CARS re Gonditons on, Roads In Korth | Carolina Intolerable.

May Stanley was the belle of the village. ‘Zhe moment Jim Dunlap saw her he fell in love with her. Now, while Jim Dunlap was a plod der, with nothing brilliant whatever about him, May was a litde witch. She was witty, droit and muels inclined ts mischief. Her face was a mirror for her thoughts. Nevertheless If she hud a preference for any of the young men of the village—there were no newcom- ers—none of her friends could discover it. Bat a girl, be she ever so commu- nieative on other subjects. may Keep that one secret deep hidden in her breast. As has been said, there was one young man with whom she was never ussocinted iu the minds of ber friends. ‘hat was Jim Duniap. In decd, she had Leen heard to very wn- feulingly apply to him the mame of “sorrel top.” While Jim was plowing by day and a student by wight, a gangling, awk- ward man of twenty, Walter Swift, the son af a neizhboring well to de farmer, was getting ready to Jeave college with a degree. Ie came home with goad deal of eelat, with « fra- ternity badge on his chest and a repr- tution for scholarship. ‘he girls look- ed for him to take au interest in May Stanley us the only one of their num- ber capable of attracting ane who had a university cut about bim and more citified manners than any of the rest. But some af them declared that he wouldu’t look at May even, ‘hese lat- tor he disappointed by not only look: ing at her, but looking at her will longing eyes, ‘There was that in her that attracted both sexes—a reckless, helter skelter, devil-may-eare way she hind, which is always fascinating in young persons, expecially to young per- sons.

Not that he appeared to feel any infertor- ity, for he pindded on in the same awk: sward was as before. It was rather a feeling in these who saw the two Foung men in corlrast. ‘That winter after Swift's: coming home was 2 gay one among the young: er set of the village, ft isw't evers small town that can number a fui fledged colloze graduate among its ciaL-attractions, and Swift, who hat played his share of pranks while at the university, originated a good many methods of amusement.

Swift came fo the resewe by proposing an elopement. “An clopement!" ali exclaimed at once, “What do you mean by that?” “In colonial times,” he said, “when a couple were married it was the custom for the bride and groom to race with the gnests fur a tavern, the party reaching the goal last to pay for a sup pet. [ propose that we select a couple | to elope (for fun. vf course) and run for the Beaver inn, the rest to follow, the supper to be paid Cor as in colonia) times.” Whe idea was accepted with enthu-| shism. May Stanley was just the girl to play the part of the bride, and the proposer of the scheme was the man’ for the groom, Muy was chosen, but! Swift was not.

The convention proposes to launch a movement to amend the Federal Constitution, so as to prohibit the manufacture and importion of al- coholics‘as beverages and as such it is important to all well thinking people. - But it is of special im- portance to the colored 'people, for the reason that itis the first op- portunity we have had to register ourselves upon a great moral move- ment in the interest of national betterment. Another reason why it is important to the race, because we have always been regarded as the victims of the liquor: traffic and that we have not been elevated in any considerable numbers be- yond the inflenecs of strone drink; that even our ministry has never identified itself, as such with any movement against the saloon. This convention called upon the broad principle of manhood rights regardless of race or creed, to present a united front to the National Government in the inter- est of our youth, our homes, our ‘institutions, and the faith of our fathers affords to us one of the best opportunities we have had to stand for our moral ideal. Let there be a strong delegation from Maryland. Send me your name and state your intention to join the already large delegation and go.to Columbus on the Maryland League Special. _ Write me for particulars—Pastors, superintend- ents of Sunday Schools, or Presi- dents of Epworth Leagues. If not elected by these particular soci- eties are nevertheless eligible for membership in this convention. Can't we put two hundred colored delegates at that convention from Maryland? D. DeWitt Turpeau Supt. Col. Dept. Please Explain. To the Editor— 1 find in the last edition ot your paper under the caption of *‘Law and Order’’, an_ editorial, wishing the Court of Appeals to decide what is meant by the “*people.”” ; lt is plain that the people mean the whole people but the ‘‘will of the peanle’’ means the desire of ‘the majority. The great question at this stage presents itself to us as one of vital importance, is this; what is the status of the ones, who moved in the forbidden blocks since the passage of the ‘West Segregation ordinance. Since Judge Elliott’s decision declaring the ordinance void, a great number of persons have moved in the forbidden territories. Suppose the Court of Apeals'decides that Judge Elliott is wrong. ““A crime is an act of disobedi- ence to a law forbidding or com- manding to act under the pain of punishment.’”” It therefore follows that if Judge Elfiott is overruled that every per- sun who moved ina block Zorbid- den by the West ordinance is amenable to the law, for it has been in effect and enforcable since its passage. No ones believes the Republican magistrates will do more than sub- stantially uphold the dignity of the law. ‘They can give the ones affected a reasonable time to get another place, into which to re- move. It must be bourne in mind that the movinfg into the forbid- den territory is the commission of the crime. There is no lack of criminal intent to be set up as a defense. For example:—The law forbids one-from selling liquor to minors. If one under 21 years of age presents himself and represents himself as 23 years of age and buys the liquor, upon indictment and proof that the purchaser was at the time of the sale of liquor under the age of 21 years the crime is complete. . In the case in which Attorney Hawkins very ably presented to the Court of Appeals, questions the right of the municipality to pass the law in queston, Let'us hope Mr. Hawkins is right and will be sus- tained. If he is not it will fall hard ‘on those who invaded the forbidden territory. Many doubtless invest- ed their all to secure a home for themselves and their posterity with a mere stipend left from their al- lowance to keep up their payments. If Judge Eliott is overrulled they ‘will have to seek other quarters and depened on the whites to rent or purchase their property. _ The answer will come: from the Court of: Appeals that they should have waited till the question was finally adjudicated. ™ The Court. of Appeals of New York said to Miss.

A case we have fresh in memory, where the Supervisors of Election of Annapolis who under color of an ordinance of the City Council of Annapoils refused to allow colored people to register for an . election, Judge Morris delcared the Jaw. un- constitutional and gave the mena judgment of $250 indamages for the same. This of course,. is the converse of the former proposition. In the former proposition the law was in force and effect if declared lawful from the date of its passage and in the later it never has been alaw. It may be said it was only acity ordinance, By Section 1, Article 38 of the Publie General Law of Maryland an act of the As- sembly of the State and an ordin- ance of any incorported city or town are put in the same category. The question before the Court of Appeals is only this, ‘‘Is the West Ordinance void? Without expressing. an opinion of my own Jet me give a resume of what: our Court of Appeals has done in cases in which the race was interested. Under Article 43 of our Consti-| tion which reais: “That the lez-' islature ought to encourage the diffusion of knowledge and virtue, | the promotion of art, sciences, ag ricultare, commeree and manufac-| tures and the general amelioration of the condition of the people; ’’the Court of Appeals decided in Clark vs. State that to separate the whites from the colored, though there was, no art school for colored. peaple was lawful and right.

BALTIMORE, AUG. 2, 1913 WILSON AND A SQUARE DEAL Evidently, the conception of a "square deal" is not always one and the same thing. In the mind of Thadore Roosevelt it means one thing, and in the mind of the present President of the United States it means quite another. And this is not so much because one is a Democrat, and the other a Progressive. For Grover Cleveland, a former Governor of New York, as well as a former President of the United States, also the present Governor of the Empire State were the genuine article of Democracy, and their notion of "square deal" does not seem to agree with that of President Wilson. We are simply surprised with the attitude of our President with respect to "jim crow" conditions introduced in the various departments in the city of Washington. How such a good Christian man as Woodrow Wilson, with such breadth as a scholar, and a student of history, in view of the many races making up this republic, can remain silent in the presence of such indignities towards representatives of a portion of the people of this great country, is something which we fail to understand. It is to be regretted not so much because of the humiliation which it brings to the race, as because of the great damage it accomplishes in the destruction of sympathetic confidence on the part of our best people with the better element of white Southerners. President Wilson was regarded as representative of the most liberal minded of the Southern people. As Governor of New Jersey he had established a reputation for kindness and fair dealing with our people. During the campaign he wrote such a magnificent letter to Bishop Walters breathing a genuine spirit of brotherhood, that thousands of the more thoughtful men and women of the race began to imagine that they could see in him not only a great man, but a real good man, sympathetically touched and moved by the earnest efforts of multitudes of our people towards a life of superiority and genuine worth. Colored men will naturally say, If men like President Wilson can find it convenient to remain deaf and dumb in the presence of such indignities, towards us simply on account of our color who can we trust." Instead, therefore, of helping the better element of colored people to have increasing confidence in the better class of Southern white people, it would seem to accomplish the opposite. But, from a purely political point of view, it is but another contribution towards the elimination of the Democratic party in National affairs. Nothing could more effectively unite the colored voter in all the northern and western states, in National affairs, than this connivance upon the part of a Democratic President with "jim crow" conditions. Colored Democrats in the north and west can scarcely forget such a manifestation towards their race. And, incidentally, fact that an army of Southern white men placed in high positions in Washington, is largely, if not wholly responsible for the Nationalizing of "jim crow" methods will cause thousands of northern and western white democrats to pause and seriously think in the next National campaign. The administration of President Cleveland was most fruitful on our behalf. And it must be said to his credit that he had not the mind to condone "jim crow" conditions. During his administration the race was perfect in the art of endurance, while its hitherto great possession of Patience was greatly enlarged. It emerged from under a National Democratic administration, stronger and more determined in every respect. We have no fear with respect to the net results of the present administration so far as the race is concerned. The vexations and disappointments occasioned by the untoward circumstances of these trouble some times, the clouds have rolled away, will find us not only very much advanced, but disciplined through suffering and better prepared than ever before measure up to the exigences of the hour. However, it does seem strange, after all these years, when the Democracy was helped into National control by any number of colored men, members of that party, in the north and west, that instead of a peaceful and diplomatic policy of further dividing the colored vote of the country, the present administration should set itself to the task of forcing together the colored vote in the doubtful states, and at the same time, awaken in the minds of white democrats, north and west, grave fears as to the real meaning of the ascendancy in our government of Southern white men who seek the repeal of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of our Constitution. At any rate, one thing is most clear, and that is, the time has not yet come when colored men can safely vote the Democratic ticket, in National elections in any portion of this great country. MR. BIGGS AND NEGRO EDUCATION. Mr. Biggs, a member of the Board of Education, of this city, has, recently expressed himself quite freely with respect to the kind and quality of the education which should be dispensed in the colored free schools of this city. Mr. Biggs starting out with an erroneous assumption, necessarily, came to an erroneous conclusion. In the United States Senate, in the year of Our Lord 1858, Senator James H. Hammond, among other things said: "In all social systems there must be a class to do the mean duties, to perform the drudgery of life; that is, a class requiring but a low order of intellect and but little skill. Such a class you must have or you would not have that other class which leads to progress, refinement and civilization. It constitutes the very muda-sails of society and of political government; and you might as well attempt to build a house in the air as to build either the one or the other except on the muda-sails. Fortunately for the South she found a race adapted to that purpose to her hand—a race inferior to herself, eminently qualified in temper, in vigor, in docility, in capacity to stand the climate, to answer all her purposes. We use them for the purpose and call them slaves." All this happened before, or about the time of, "the Dred Scott's" decision, some years previous to the emancipation of the "mudsills". We read in Old Testament history, that when Pharah discovered what a great financial loss was involved in the departure of the Isralites, he changed his mind, and aggressively pursued after them with the purpose of returning them to Egyptian slavery. When such deliverances as those of the Honorable Mr. Biggs are made, with respect to instructing the colored pupils in our public schools in "cooking" and in "portership", we ought not to think it strange, even in this day, fifty years after the emancipation of the "mudals". This thing of race "prejudice" is in the blood, and can not be gotten out of the human system in either one or two, or more generations. It dies hard, but it dies nevertheless. There is hardly a phase of the many assaults made our citizenship that can not rightly be classified as an attempt. by indirection to lead us back into Egypt. MIDNIGHT IN THE STATE OF ALA There is an unconscious pervading influence dominating that class of white men, like the Honorable Mr. Biggs which incapacitates them from a judicial and impartial service to their colored fellow citizens. Such do not assume that state of mind, in dealing with the Negro, as is augested from the very ideals of government in wrought in the fabric of our constitutional law. They have no connection whatever with Negro life, they are in no way effected by the social or intellectual life of Negroes; they are utterly and entirely out of touch with the real life of the Negro. And, yet, as oft as any of them lisp, "Our Father" he thereby registers a protest against his self-willed and false position. If the Lord's Prayer teaches anything, it unmistakably inculcates genuine human brotherhood. In like manner, our public schools are intended for American children, and although American children are, necessarily, composed of many races, yet it is with respect to those things they share in common that adequate preparation is vouchsafed them. What has Mr. Biggs to do with the particular calling in life of the Irish, the German, or the Negro youth? By authority has he right to fashion the course in Irish schools suitable only for "hack drivers"? Or in Negro schools for "waiters"? The Negro youth needs and requires the same kind of education as any other, and thus Mr. Biggs ought to know. As a matter of fact, possibly, the members of no race have shown such wonderful diversity, capacity, and strength, with respect to occupations in life, as have the people of African decent. Let any one read the records. Note the army of professional men and women, in nearly every profession wherein white men are engaged; note the many splendid business enterprises conducted by members of the Negro race, covering every section of this broad land. Where did these men and women come from? Who were their parents? What were the favorable conditions which invited them to traverse such a hard and stormy road? These Negro doctors, teachers, lawyers, scientists, mechanics, and what not, were all the children of illiterate and slave parents, farmers, coachmen, washer-women, cooks, and the like. It was not the function of our public schools to select for them their life's work; its function was simply to yield the best educational preparation possible, leaving it to each individual to select his own sphere in life. There is one important consideration which should dispose Mr. Biggs to go it rather slowly in setting himself up as an authority on Negro education. When he considers the important fact that he does not touch Negro life at any point where he may truly discern the real life and ideals of the race, a fitting sense of modesty should impel him to hold his peace, but, if venture, he must, let him do it as one feeling his way, and with a kind disposition of mind to welcome advice an suggestion not from his "cook" or "butler," but from the superior men and women of character and culture, drawn from the race he would help. --- McKee Barclay's cartoon in the Sun "The Eternal Negro Question" struck the nail on the head. It went just a little further, possibly, than the author intended. The eternal Negro question will not down until justice is done. Some one has said that nothing is settled until it is settled right. The Negro is either a citizen or he is not. If he is a citizen he is entitled to all the rights and perogatives of all other citizens, if he is not, then he is not entitled to them. That is all there is in the question. Yes, the weather is hot enough for us. Now don't ask any more questions about it. 2 The storm was so effective in Washington that it made Muhall, tariff and currency all forgotten. On Monday evening, July 21, Mrs. Alexander Jones, 99 E. Lee street, was tendered a birthday reception. The affair was an elaborate one. Many valuable presents were received by Mrs. Jones. Those present were: Misses Jessie Leroy, Lottie Matthews, Sallie Lindsay, Mary J. King, Lucy Coles, Mrs. Lucy Elam, of Catonsville; Miss Mattie Ligon, Hezekiah Ligon, John A. King, M. F. Johnson, of Richmond; S. J. Campbell, S. D. Jackson, Miss Mary Sham and Mrs. Alice Brown The Colonel Still On The Move—Will Pay a Visit To Baltimore Shortly. Pine Bluff, Ark.—I hope I am not going into bad health, but I was really too sick to write you last week. I started one in Houston, but did not get to send it because of my physical condition. It is only a short time before I will be in Baltimore, and I am planning to have a fine time there with Rev. A. L. Gaines. I will get to see some of Baltimore during my stay there. If you have a letter for me send it to 357 S. Scott street, Mobile, Ala., and from there I will go to 1831 Sharswood street, Philadelphia. I have been moving because the last time I wrote you I was in Gulfport, Miss., attending the session of the Knights and Calanthe, and I have been from there to New Orleans. Well, I walked around for a day and at night left for your place. I mean for Texas. Reaching the city I went to the Chicago Hotel, and was made welcome by the head of the hotel. A. O. Smith is a man who knows everybody and he will know you whether he knows you or not, and he is never too busy the have a word with you, and for this reason his hotel is always full of guests. Off to Houston over the Southern Pacific. The old iron horse got angry and snorted like everything and blowed up. The one ahead of my horse. He did not rest until he had busted himself wide open and killed three men. I was glad that I was not there to be in the number and I am sure that my private secretry is glad also. She has decided to attend the National Baptist Convention with me in September and has already demanded a raise in her salary. In Houston, I was the guest of Rev W. D. Miller, and had the pleasure of speaking for him Sunday morning, and in the afternoon preached a special sermon at Antioch Baptist Church, where some deacons were ordained and then I left for home. I went to the meeting of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, of the International Order of Twelve, in Waco, Texas. It was a fine meeting, and you will get an idea when I tell you they had 1800' delegates at the meeting. It is the biggest organization in Texas. So large until they have to stop and build a meeting place. Utterly impossible for them to find a hall large enough say nothing about the churches. They have erected a pavilion in Waco on the park they own. They had a fine time at the meeting but there was a little court scrape, which I hope will be settled soon. Prof. A. R. Jackson, commissioner of education of the A.M.E. Church, who is a member of the order, backed up by some others went into court and asked for the appointment of someone to look into the books of the order and see if they were properly kept, and if some one had been able to get hold of some of the money of the order. I do not know what all this was about, but I do know that these people will have to give the white man some money, and perhaps pull down the order to some extent. Every time we go into court it means all for the white man and none for the Negro. It lets him into our little earnings. It is an awful thing to destroy something but a great thing to make something. It is easier to destroy than it is to build up. This is what I fear has happened to us now. I fear that Bishop Walters and Rev. J. Milton Waldron have united with others and turned us over to suffer for a few years. You see the democrats are in charge of everything, and it is hard to tell just what they are going to do. I noted that they are talking of segregating the people. I have been hearing about this for long time. I am told that they are doing something like that in Washington in our own government, and because Hon. J. C. Napier was ordered to segregate in his department he resigned, and will go into business again. He is a man, every inch of him, and the whole race should be proud of such a man. Another black man I am told has been named for the place, and if he accepts he will have to do what Mr. Napier refused to do. But the GENTLEMAN from Mississippi has declared that the colored brother shall not have the place. We await developments. I am now at this place and will be here for a few days and then go to Little Rock to spend a few hours with the teachers and from there I will go to Tupeo, Miss., thence to Mobile. Making Preparations For Supreme Session Final arrangements are fast nearing completion for the session of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias which will be held in this city during the last week in August. Letters have been pouring in to the headquarters of the local committee which is located at Elk's Hall, from every section of the country, asking that reservations be made for accommodations for the thousands who are expected to be here. It is expected that at least thirty thousand visitors will be in the city durig the week. Among the many features, to entertain the visiting Sir Knights and their ladies will be a band concert in which some of the most famous bands in the country will compete, including the Eighth Illinois Military Band, the Pittsburg Concert Band. A military parade and competitive drill will be another strong feature in which the uniform rank of the order will compete for prizes aggregating over $1500. A grand reception at the old Fifth Regiment Armory will close the official program for the week and it is expected that it will be the most brilliant affair of its kind ever held in this city. Provisions for this affair alone will be made for five thousand guests. A movement is on foot by the friends of Grand Chancellor George A. Watty to urge him for a higher position in the Supreme Lodge. He is at present holding the position of Supreme Inner Guard. Mr. Watty is popular not only with members of the fraternity in this city but with Pythians generally throughout the country and it would not be surprising should he land something big at the hands of the Supreme Lodge. His friends are pointing to the brilliant record he has made as Grand Chancellor in this State, almost doubling the membership during the six years he has been at its head. He was also largely responsible for bringing the present session of the Supreme Lodge to this city and is working indefatigably for its success. Fairfield Notes Special to the Afro-American Ledger.

Wakeman of the Society For Electrical Development was riding through the south not long ago. His seat mate was a well fed, well dressed, unhappy person. Every now and then the seat mate heaved a sigh. Wakeman sympathized. He thought bed start a cheery conversation. "How's business through the south?" he asked. "Misthe," said the sad man passionately, "it's rotten. Honest, I don't know what to do. This last yeah was the vey worst of my entire business career." Mr. Wakeman became optimistic. He told of friends whose business had slumped, but recovered. "Have you tried advertising?" he asked. "Ouah people are vey conservative." said the sad man. "They rathen retest vigorous advertising. Yes, seb." "Woll," said Wakeman "why don't you get a corps of lively, hustling solicitors?" Let 'em go to it. Shake up the dead bones. The sad man said that didn't appeal to him, either. He was afraid eagerness on his part might be resented. "What kind of business are you running, anyhow?" asked Wakeman curiously. "I'm an undertakeb, seh," said the sad man-Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL OUTING OF WATERS'S A. M. E. S. S.

Market street: A PROSPEROUS NEGRO. TOWN An oxaenyy Tow Control- ed Solely By Negroes —No Police Protec- tion Needed. Boley, Okla., July 31,—Have you ever been to Boley? If you have not, you have of course heard of this prosperous town out in Okla- boma. It has some three thousand inhabitants, all Negroes. ° This is an up-to-date town. It has banks, first class dry good stores, drug stores, groceries. cotton gins, steam laundries, bottling works, paved lsidewalksfelectric lights and a tele- phone system. It is on the main ineof arailroad. The ticket agent telegraph operator and other per- sons connected with the business of the railroad in Boley are colored. Tt has been often said that no considerable number of Negroes could live together without disorder strife and lawlessness, Boley is the refutation of this slander. It is the universal testimony of the white traveling salesman that Boley ‘is one of the most orderly towns in Oklahoma. In fact the town has ‘no need for constables and: police officers. | One of the reasons why Boley ‘is such an orderly prosperous town ‘is because of the character of the people who have settled there. Caughey W. Roberts the subject of the sketch is a fine example of the class of people who are mak- ‘ing Boley famous and demonstrat- ing to the world that Negroes can build up a properous and orderly community. Roberts runs the iead- ing baker in the town. He is up- to-date in the conducting of his ‘business and is one of the most pro- ‘gressive business men in that pro- gresisve town. The net profits from his business amounts to from $1200 to $1500 annually. In ad- dition to doing what he can to make his business a success he is also actively engaged in church and Sunday school work and in other activities which make for the mor- ‘al uplift of his community. Mr. Roberts attributes much of his success to the hustling spirit of work and of thoroughness which he acquired while student at Tuskegee Institute. In doing what he can for the general improvement of the coromunity, he says he is only carry- ling out the ‘Tuskegee Idea."” His home was originally at Valdosta, Georgia, but after his graduation in 1906, h2 followed Horace Gres- ley's advice and went West to grow up with the country. | Although he has been in busi- ness but a few years he has accum- viated considerable property in Boley, Taft, Clearview and other Oklahoma towns. The success of Roberts in the bakery business is an example of what can be done along this Jine in all parts of the South. In this field Negroes have an opportunity much greater than they had in the field of. catering jewenty to fifty years ago in the [Northern cities. Just as long as there are people in the world, just so long must they be fed. There will always be a demand for bakeries. In the South in che next jfew years there is going to bea greater demand than ever for them:. ee is the opportunity for him hn aril] tales atvontame at tt OLIVER J.

Religious Progress of the Race to Bo Special Feature at Coming Meeting of the National Baptist Convention In September—Busy Life of Dr. Charles Stewart. Helena, Ark.—This is the year of celebration among the members of the race, and great are the efforts being put forth in the various departments of racial agencies. The churches of the country are calling upon the people to show appreciation in some way to God for directing the hand which wrote the emancipation proclamation fifty years ago. Educational institutions are asking for endowments, and some are calling upon the race to come together in thanksgiving services. Perhaps the most elaborate planned celebration by any religious body is that of the national Baptist convention, in shape of an exposition to be conducted during the session of the convention Sept. 17 to 22, in Nashville, Tenn. Arrangements are being made by the Nashville people to entertain 10,000 visitors, and the various boards of the convention are at work on details for the celebration. Rev. Elias C. Morris, D. D., of Helena, Ark., has been at the head of the convention for almost a quarter of a century and has the confidence of the Baptists throughout the country. For a number of years Dr. Morris has been a recognized leader among his people throughout the country and has been foremost in every movement that meant racial development. He has been the pastor of one church thirty years, having celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of his pastorate in July, which was a great event, and brought together 2,000 people from all parts of Arkansas and visitors from other states. The anniversary sermon was preached by Dr. Charles Stewart of Chicago, the veteran newspaper correspondent. It was at the 1912 session of the national Baptist convention that Dr. Morris recommended that the 2,500,000 Baptists show to the world the progress made by the race in the past fifty years and recommended that an exposition be held in connection with the convention. This was unanimously adopted, and already fifty commissioners are at work collecting data, charts and inventions made by members of the race. Encouraging reports are being received by the president from all parts of the country. President Morris is among those benefited by the emancipation proclamation, and he is laboring night and day to make the exposition feature a success. The Baptists of the country are rallying to his support. A program which will cover every feature of the convention's work and the progress of the race has been made by the board, and some of the ablest men of both races will deliver addresses. It is expected that 25,000 people will attend this meeting of the convention and that it will be the greatest gathering of Baptists ever assembled at any one time. One of the marvels of the age is the wonderful advancement made by the Negroes in the last fifty years, and yet there are many people in our country who do not know of this wonderful advancement, and it is proposed to show in a limited way, by means of a celebration of the fifty anniversary of the enunciation of the race that the race has "made good" in these fifty years. Especially is it true in a religious sense. "Blessed is that race (nation whose God is the Lord." In giving reasons for such a celebration the first and perhaps the greatest one is the fact God has been with the race in all the days of its freedom and has raised up friends in the stronger and more advanced race, who have been constant in their efforts to help the Negro rise, and for this reason the principal religious organizations among the people of our race should celebrate with thanksgiving and praise the success which has come to them in these fifty years. A second reason is that the harder the persecution heaped upon the race in some sections of the country by those who would prevent its growth the greater has been its progress materially, intellectually and religiously. Third, to convince the world that the jincow legislation and other proscriptive and unjust laws enacted in many of the states with a view to discourage, humiliate and retard the progress of the race have failed of their purpose and that the race can show by correct statistics that no race in any time has made greater advancement under similar circumstances. Fourth, the celebration will be a means of giving encouragement to those of our own race who have lost courage and will inspire in them a hope which will make the future achievements of the race far greater than they have been in the past and will serve to unify the efforts in the future advancement of the race." The largest auditorium in Nashville has been secured for the meeting of the convention, and Greenwood park will be used for the exposition feature. FRIEND OF HUMAN RIGHTS. New York. District Attorney Believes In Evenhanded Justice. By N. BARNEFT DODSON. District Attorney Charles S. Whitman of New York is numbered among the stalwart friends of humanity without regard to race, creed or color. On many occasions during his able administration of the affairs of his office he has stood in the breach between Afro-Americans and their enemies. It is encouraging therefore to refer to his attitude of fairness toward the colored people and their right to equal justice in courts of law without discrimination. Speaking at a meeting in New York held under the auspices of an organization for race advancement upon one occasion, District Attorney Whitman in part said: Crime is crime, whether committed by a white man or a black man. Society must be protected from acts of violence whether the offender has had every opportunity for intellectual and moral growth from his babyhood or has always lived in the darkness of ignorance and deprivation. Certain offenses, too awful for description, arouse public indignation which is well night uncontrollable, and that is as true in one section of the land as in another. It is not within the scope of the authority of those charged with the enforcement of law to consider questions involving heredity, environment or the ultimate responsibility for conditions which must be not as those charged with the making of laws have determined. Sentiment and charity should not excuse indulgence and crime, and desire to secure the advancement of one race must not countenance unfairness and injustice to another. The Negro, as he exists in this country, is a product of conditions created by the white man. When the nation assured him the rights of citizenship it guaranteed to him the protection and the enjoyment of those rights, but the great country itself at least morally assumed an infinitely greater responsibility. For our own protection, if for no unselfish motive, we are obligated to see to it that the opportunity, which we are proud to say in this country is given to all, shall not be denied to him; that where he is made to feel the rigor of the law he may also depend upon the protection of the law; that his race or his color is no more to be condemned on account of the offences of some of its members than are other races or other people to be censured under like conditions.

The progress of the race in business is by no means confined to any particular class or profession, because the opportunity to engage in gainful occupations is the common privilege of all. Not many years ago business enterprises of the larger sort were conducted almost solely by men, but with the rapid advance of the race in education, religious culture and training for special lines of work has came the business woman. In the various states this year where expositions are held in observance of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation the achievements of the women of the race in art, science, literature, business and in professional life A. are to be made a special feature of the exhibits. Some have distinguished themselves as educators, some in the broad field of domestic science, others in the medical and dental professions, and still others in music, both vocal and instrumental. In commercial pursuits and high finance there are those who have and are making their mark, as in the cases of Mine, C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., and Mrs. Maggie L. Walker of Richmond, Va., who is the president of a banking institution of high renote. In the case of Mine. C. J. Walker it is only necessary to call attention to the fact that she was thrown upon her own resources early in life, worked on the farm in her notice state, Louisiana, attended the country school, did washing and ironing for a livelihood later in life, and after a considerable struggle, by thrift and economy, saved enough of her hard earnings to start a business concern of her own, which is recognized as the largest and most successful of its kind owned and operated by a woman of our race. Mine, C. J. Walker has recently purchased the four story brownstone house at 10S West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street. New York. On the first floor of this magnificent dwelling is the Lelia college, devoted to the training of young women in hair culture and is in charge of Mine. Robinson, an accomplished young woman of pleasing address. Mine, Walker will in the future divide her time between her business in Indianapolis and New York. Large Gathering of Young Peole. The Sunday school and Baptist young people's convention, auxiliary to the New York colored Baptist state convention, was held in the Ebenozer Baptist church. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., for four days, beginning on Thursday, July 17, and concluding Sunday night, July 20, with a sermon by the Rev. S. W. Timms, D. D., pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist church. Brooklyn. The sessions were well attended by delegates from the various schools and were marked by enthusiasm and earnestness on the part of the workers. Among the able addresses delivered was one by Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Teun, secretary of the national Baptist Sunday school congress. Mysterious Ten to Hold Celebration. The grand lodge of the Mysterious Ten, a secret order with a large membership in the various states, will hold a big celebration at Emuacipation park. Houston, Tex., on Friday. Aug. 1. The subordinate lodges throughout the state will send large delegations. The public is looking forward to the event with much interest. H. H. Lethbridge is president and Mrs. Pannie Carr is secretary of the local fraternity. Unlawful Destruction of Human Life. With all the machinery of the law in their own hands, white mobs in at least ten southern states recently have lynched as many, and possibly a greater number, of colored persons for various alleged crimes. One attempt at lynching a colored man failed, but that was in Rhode Island. What a human, bloodthirsty civilization exists in America! Investment Company Gives Banquet. The Douglas Loan and Investment company of Pittsburgh is the oldest business concern of its kind among the colored people in the Pittsburgh section of the state. The company was organized twelve years ago, and in observance of that fact the members gave an elaborate banquet on Friday evening, July 25 SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson V.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 3, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ps. cv, 23-36 Memory Verscs, 26, 27—Golden Text Matt. xxiii, 12—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. If we would understand the word of God we must be agreed with God and let His thoughts and purposes become ours without any questioning on our part. He has chosen Israel as His peculiar people, a people near unto Him, that by them He may bless all nations, and His memorial name to all generations is "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." When He divided the earth among the nations He did it with reference to the children of Israel and set Jerusalem in the midst of the nations (Ps. xxxii. 13, 14; cxvii. 14; Isa. xxvii. 6; Jer. iii. 17; Ex. iii. 15; Deut. xxxii. 8; Ezek. v. 5). The adoption, the glory, the covenants, the promises, are all theirs, and of them as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. The author of the most of the psalms was David, the sweet psalmist of Israel, who said, "The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and His word was in my tongue." The gospel of God is concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead (Rom. ix. 4. 5; 1. 14; II Sam. xxii 1. 2). The whole Bible story largely concerns Israel, past, present and future, but chiefly past and future, because for the present they are set aside because of their rejection of their Messiah. All that has been written concerning Israel has been written for our benefit, that we, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, may have hope (Rom. xv. 4). The first part of our lesson psalm summarizes the lessons we have recently had concerning Abraham, Isaiah, Jacob, Joseph and the going down of Israel to Egypt. Our lesson begins with the record of their great increase in Egypt and their oppression by the Egyptians, just as the Lord told Abraham that it would be (Gen. xv, 13). Our most recent lessons have shown us the birth of Moses, God's chosen deliverer of His people, his training at the court of Pharaoh, succeeded by his forty years of shepherd life in Midian, until the Lord spoke to him from the burning bush. Ex. iii and iv are summarized in the twenty-sixth verse of our lesson in these words: "He sent Moses, His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen." Our last lesson on Ex. v and vi told us how the request through Moses and Aaron to let Israel go only angered Pharah and caused him to lay heavier burdens upon Israel. In today's lesson we have a summary of Ex. vii to xi, telling how the Lord sent plague after plague upon Pharah and his people until they were glad to let Israel go and gave them abundance of silver and gold and raiment (Ex. xii, 35, 30). The attitude of Pharah to God is seen in his defiant words: "Who is the Lord?" * * * I know not the Lord" (Ex. v. 2). Before or by the time that God had dealt with him in these sore judgments he learned that Jehovah was and that those who walk in pride He is able to abuse (Dun. iv, 37). The character of Pharman is seen in three words in Ex. ix. 17. "Thon exaltest thyself," and by these we are pointed onward to the time of the antichrist, the last great oppressor of Israel, who shall exalt himself and speak murvelous things against the God of gods and prosper for a time (Dan. xi. 36; 11 Thess. ii. 4). In his days shall these plagues be repeated, according to Heb. xvi. in connection with Israel's last deliverance, after which they shall be a blessing to all nations. In the Exodus chapters it is written eight times that Pharaoh hardened his heart (vii. 14, 22; vii. 15, 19, 32; ix. 7, 34, 35) and seven times that the Lord hardened his heart (vii. 3, 13; ix. 12; x. 1, 20, 27; xi. 10, the latter expression signifying that the Lord gave him over to his own willfulness, allowed him up to a certain point to have his own way illustrating Prox. xiv. 1 The plagues are not mentioned in our lesson in the same order as they occurred, the Exodus order being blood, frogs, lice, flies, murrain, hols, hail, leeches, darkness, death. The murrain and the boils seem to be omitted in our lesson. "The magicians of Egypt imitated the plagues of blood and frogs, but when it came to lice they had to say, 'This is the finger of God' (Ex. vili. 19). The Lord put a difference, a division, a redemption between His own people and the Egyptians (Ex. vili. 22. 22; 1x. 4. 26; x. 23; x. 7). In one case at least some of the Egyptians gave heed to the Lord's warning and were saved from the plague (Ex. ix. 20.21). Pharaoh's unwillingness in let Israel go is very suggestive of the host that the devil has upon people and his unwillingness to let go. First they might go, but not far away; then they might go, but only the men; then their families might go, but not their flocks. Let us stand with Moses and say, "Not a hoof shall be left behind" (Ex. vill. 25.28; x. 11.24.26). We must always give attention to the different names of Jehovah and from each one learn to know Him better. The most fleaiful cemetery in Baltimore. Owned and managed by the A. M. E.

Baltimore, Md., July 28th, 1913 One of the most enjoyable features of the season was the fourth annual bus party given by the Happy Hooligan Association of East Baltimore, Thursday July 24th, at Fairy Grove Park, Md. The party started in the wee sma' hours—3.10 a.m.—from the residence of the president, Mrs. William Burke, 1504 Milliam street, and were kept in jollification during the entire route by the holy father, Alfred A. Mitchell; while the holy mother, Sarah Mitchell prepared to break the fast at 7 a.m., which needed not the second invitation to the party. The day was pleasantly spent in dancing, boating, tennis, skating, baseball, etc. The beautifully illuminated bus, "Bill Bailey of Baltimore" drawn by eight horses, which conveyed them to and from the grove, added much to the pleasure. The president is to be commended for her ardent work for the pleasure of the Hooligans. The party consisted of the following: Mr. and Mrs. William Burke, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Myers, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Emory Waters, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ford, Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Nichols,Sr, Misses Gertrude Stanley, Helen Collins, Hattie Dennis, Eva Carroll, Flossie Waters, Cora Briggs, Serena Gibson, Ethel Johnson, Julia Cooper, Ethel Travers, Georgette Billuns.

Widgeon, curator of the Maryland Academy of Sciences, has been indicted for alleged rape upon a young girl 10 years of age. Mr. Widgeon was arrested several weeks ago and was almost immediately releashed on $1000 bail through hebeas corpus proceedings instituted by his attorney, George L. Pendleton. Mr. Widgeon's friends believe that the charges are false. The girl, along with several others, it is said, had been reprimanded by Mr. Widgeon for gross misconduct during a visit to the Academy. She is also said to have charged an old man with a similar crime. This man was exhonered at a court trial. The girl, who lives in Tyson street, is said to have been at one time an inmate at the Home for Girls at Melvale. Mr. Widgeon is an authority upon the flora and fauna of Maryland. He has been all over the State and the West Indies to gather specimens for the Academy. He also pastors a church at Brooklyn, Md.
