THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER country. VOL. XXII NO.38 FGR LIBERIA'S REDEMPTION Prominent Liberians Here In Interest of Financial and Educational Betterment of That big plans are on foot for promoting the financial and educational interest of the republic of Liberia is indicated by the visit to this country of Hon. John Lewis Morris, the Liberian secretary of the treasury, and Dr. John H. Reed, principal of the Caroline Donovan Institute, which will be located in Great Bassao county. The two gentlemen arrived in New York city Monday, where they were met by Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberia consul general to the United States, and Fred R. Moore, who was named United States minister to the West African country during the closing days of the Taft administration. They will remain in this country until August, making their headquarters with Dr. Lyon at 141 W. Hill street, this city. Secretary Morris is just 32 years of age, but is regarded as a most capable official. He was educated in Liberia College, and before President Howard made him a member of the cabinet filled.other government positions. His wife is the oldest daughter of Dr. Lvon. In an interview with a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, he said that Liberian finances were getting into good shape since the American and European financiers loaned his government $1,700,000 with which to pay some old obligations. He would not state the nature of his mission to this country, but as he will stay here until August his visit here is regarded as one having great significance. Dr. Reed was for eight years president of the College of West Africa, an institution fostered by the M. E. Church. In January he was elected principal of the projected Caroline Donovan Normal and Industrial Institute. A few months ago the American Colonization Society turned over to Dr. Lyon $65,000 of the accumulated income of a fund established by the late Miss Caroline Donovan, of this city, for Liberia. It was decided to devote this entire sum to a school modeled on the Tuskegee plan. Dr. Reed predicts a great educational future for Liberia, especially since the Donovan fund will be available for educational purposes. He says that the Liberian secretary of education, B. W. Payne, is working assiduely to better the educational facilities of that country. Dr. Reed is a native of this country and was educated at Wiley University, Marshall, Tex. Secretary Morris, Dr. Reed and Paige Clark, who was appointed by this government as receiver of Liberian customs, will most likely be presented to President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Secretary McAdoo within a few days. DR LYON'S WORK. Libera owes much of its present financial welfare to Dr. Lyon, who spent seven years there as the American minister. It was largely through his efforts that the government sent a commission there five years ago to investigate conditions and the way paved for securing financial assistance for the little West African republic. Following the relinquishing of the position of American Minister to Liberia, Dr. Lyon was appointed Liberian Consul General to this BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1914. HAYTI HAVING HER TROUBLES France and Germany Are Pushing Little Black Republic For Bad Debts-U. S. in a Quandary Washington, May 15. - Poor debtridden, revolution-torn Hayti may face the prospect of having its customs collected by a representative of a foreign government in order that the moneys due European lenders can be collected. Germany and France, it is claimed, stand ready to use their power to force repayment of loans and interest and the United States seems to be the only stumbling block to their plans to use force. The problem of a satisfactory adjustment of things is a serious one to the State Department, as this government does not favor any suggestion of European aggression on the Western Continent. With the added trouble of the Mexican situation the question may be a serious one for President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan to deal with. The Department of State has received advices that Germany and France want the United States to cooperate with them in the collection of revenues, but that representation on a committee of joint control should be in proportion of the loans owed lenders from the three countries. As only about five percent of the money over due belongs to Americans, this would leave this government in a hopeless minority. A way may be found, however, to let the United States appoint someone to collect the disputed claims. This was tried when the United States sent Dr. J. H. Hollander, of Baltimore, to San Domingo to collect customs in order that foreign creditors may be appeased and is being done now in Liberia, where Reed Paige Clark is collecting the customs duties in order that the sinking fund and the interest on the $1,700,000 loan may be secured. Hayti has been menaced by foreign creditors three times recently. France forced the payment cf overdue interest some months ago, and Germany sent a warship and collected some more interest and three weeks ago England tried to force the payment of $92,000. The latter claim is now being arbitrated. The financial situation in Hayti, with the added fact that American capital is now building a railroad there, makes it seem most certain that an American colored man will not be the deplomatic representative of this country at Port au Prince. I. I. M. P. CONFERENCE IN SESSION. Norfolk, Va., May 15.—The sixty-fourth annual session of the Maryland and Virginia Conference of the African Union Methodist Protestant Church is being held at St. Luke Church. At the opening session, Wednesday, Rev. Perri Robinson, president of the conference, delivered an address. Rev. J. Albert Handy is the entertaining pastor. BISHOP TYREE TO PRESIDE Reading, Pa., May 14.—The ninety eighth annual session of the Baltimore Conference of the A. M. E. Church will open at the A. M. E. Church next Wednesday and continue until the following Monday. Bishop Tyre will preside. A number of the general officers of the denomination are expected to be president Rev. F. L. Harris will be the entertaining pastor. SOUTHERN PRISON SYSTEM SCORED At Annual Session of National Conference of Charities and Correction—Next Session In Baltimore. Memphis, Tenn., May 15.—Charity needs of the South, its disgraceful prison system, the vice problem, economic and living conditions and the Negro were among the many topics discussed here at the annual session of the National Conference of Charities and Correction. The next session will be held in Baltimore. J. H. DeWitt, of Nashville, made a severe arraignment of the prison system of the South, declaring that the average county jail was run in a manner disgraceful to civilization and that the moral perceptions of inmates were dulled by the treatment received. He advocated the abolition of the convict lease system and the establishment of convict farms. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois delivered an address on"The Negro Problem" before an audience that taxed the capacity of Avery Chapel Monday night. He spoke on various social problems affecting the race, including living conditions, wages, and the necessity for the readjustment of the general attitude concerning the economic and civil status of the race. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, of New York; Miss Florence Kelley, of the same city, and Prof. William Pickens, of Talladega College, also delivered spirited addresses, in which the economic, social and civic needs of the race were dwelt upon. B. M. Roddy presided and Josiah T. Settle introduced the various speakers. A local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was formed. NOT ANXIOUS TO HEAD SECOND EPISCOPAL DISTRICT Bishop Hurst Quiets Rumor Concerning 2nd District In an address before the A. M. E. Ministerial Meeting Monday, Bishop John Hurst declared that he had no desire to preside over the Baltimore Conference, as the work elsewhere was more in need of his services. His remarks were prompted by a rumor being circulated that he was desirous of presiding over the conference and that some of those aspiring to be elected delegates to the next General Conference of the denomination were among those desirous of his being sent here, while other aspirants were of the opinion that their chances would be jeopardized thereby. The statement of Bishop Hurst was cheerfully accepted by the ministers, especially his emphatic assertion that he was not interested in candidate-making and the election of delegates. Bishop Hurst left for Florida Wednesday, where he will attend the commencement of Edward Waters College, at Jacksonville, and visit Florida churches. Rev. A. L. Gaines was chosen spokesman of a fraternal delegation that will visit the Philadelphia Conference next week. The ministers elected the following officers: Rev. C. H. Murray, president; Rev. James A. Briscoe, first vice president; Rev. J. W. Norris, second vice president; Rev. J. O. Custis, secretary; Rev. C. H. Young, assistant secretary; Rev. J. R. Nelson, treasurer, and Rev. J. G. Martin, historiographer. REV. CURTIS WITHDRAWS Former Pastor of Trinity A.M.E Church Sends In His Resignation And Will Head Inde- An aftermath of the trouble at Trinity A. M. E. Church, which followed the election of a new board of trustees at a time other than that provided in the charter of the congregation came Tuesday when Rev. L. C. Curtis, former pastor of the church, sent his resignation to Bishop L. J. Coppin as a minister and member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He has started another congregation to be known as the Independent African Methodist Church and has secured the Galilean Fishermen's Hall as the place for holding services. Dr. Curtis will preach this Sunday morning. Friends of Dr. Curtis assert that he felt humiliated over being removed from Trinity Church and being sent to Cumberland. His refusal to accept the latter appointment may mean that a few changes will have to be made in the pastorates of the Baltimore Conference. "I do not think I was treated right," Rev. Curtis told a representative of the Afro-American Ledger. "I was a man before I was an African Methodist and will continue to act as a man. Some of the ministers were even jealous of me as they knew that I would be elected a delegate to the General Conference and chosen bishop for West Africa. I spent seven years as a missionary in West Africa and made a creditable record for the church. In fact, I have always striven to do my duty." Rev. Curtis has vacated the parsonage of Trinity Church and is now living at 1016 Linden avenue. LARGE CONGREGATION GREETS NEW PASTOR OF TRINITY A large congregation, which filled even the galleries, greeted Rev. Samuel M. Johnson, the new pastor of Trinity A. M. E. Church, Sunday morning. Rev. D. G. Hill presiding elder of the Baltimore district, was on hand to assist in the service. Anticipating trouble from the followers of the former pastor, Rev. L. C. Curtis, an injunction suit was filed last Saturday compelling the trustees to turn over to Rev. Johnson the key of the church Rev. Curtis was not in evidence, however, remaining in the parsonage all day. After services many of the members came forward to pledge their earnest support to Dr. Johnson. COLORED METHODISTS IN SESSION. St. Louis, Mo., May 15 — The thirteenth quadrennial session of the General Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church is being held at Lane Tabernacle. Delegates and ministers are present from all parts of the country, especially the South. The church is an offshoot to the M. E. Church South, and was set aside in 1870. It has over 300,000 members, seven bishops and nine schools. Chief, among the questions that have been considered was that relating to the suspension of Bishop G. W. Stewart more than a year ago. The quadrennial address was read by Bishop R. S. Williams, of Augusta, Ga. Several bishons are to be elected during the session PRICE THREE CENTS BISHOP WALTERS HOPEFUL WHILE OTHERS ARE DISHEARTENED Prelate Seems to be Firm Apostle of the "Watchful Waiting Policy"—His Followers Chagrtned Bishop Walters, president of the National Negro Democratic League filled the pulpit at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church Sunday night. When asked as to his opinion concerning the announced intention of appointing another white man as United States minister to Hayti, Bishop Walters said that the appointment had been promised colored Democrats. He expressed himself as being still hopeful. He said that he was gratified at the confirmation of Judge Terrell and that he strongly urged his appointment. COLORED DEMOCRATS UNEASY That colored Democrats are alarmed over the prospect of their being given a "raw deal" by the present regime is indicated by the following special from our Washington correspondent: "Advices received here from all parts of the country indicate that colored democrats are becoming disheartened over the outlook for their political recognition by the democracy. The rumored enforced resignation of Madison R. Smith as minister to Hayti and the announcement that Arthur Baily-Blanchard, first secretary at the American embassy at Tokyo would get the place, has stirred the colored Democrats who see a $10,000 job again slipping from their fingers. The Haitian mission has been filled by a colored man since 1872, the ministers including the late Ebenezer D. Bassett, the late Frederick Douglass, the late John M. Langston, J. W. E. Thompson, John S. Durham, William F. Powell and Henry W. Furniss Right after the Wilson election leading colored Democrats began to announce themselves as aspirants for the portfolio. Jas. D. Carr, the New York lawyer; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, N. B. Marshall and Dr. J. B. Oliver, of Brazil, Ind., were among the many mentioned in connection therewith. Dismay reigned in the ranks when the announcement was made that Madison R. Smith, white man from Missouri, had been selected for the position. Minister Smith is said not to have seen a howling success at Port au Prince, in fact, information received here from Haitian leaders is to the effect that the minister led a beverage as strong as a Missouri mule and that when visitors called upon him about a matter that met his approbation he usually replied, "Let her go, Gallagher." According to general rumor, it was the understanding of colored Democrats that as soon as Smith got out that the position would fall to some capable man of the race. Expectation turned to disappointed surprise, however, when the news leaked out of the probable selection of another white man. It is said that Secretary Bryan was in such a hurry to let Bailly Blanchard have the appointment that he gave out to the press the announcement of the selection before the Haitian minister to the United States had received word from his government as to whether or not the appointee would be persona non grata. The Haitian government has given its O. K., however. This, with the added fact that this Pailly-Blanchard (who is a native of Louisiana), has spent a quarter of a century in diplomatic service makes the road still harder for colored Democrat. Bishop Walters has been here all of the week and, it is said, has had talks with President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and others regarding the Haitian mission and other appointments. Up to the present but one colored Democrat has received a presidential appointment, that of Minister to Liberia, but is claimed by some influential members of congress that if Adam Patterson had allowed his nomination as Register of the Treasury to stand that he would have been confirmed like Terrell. The position of Recorder of Decds for the District of Columbia will shortly be filled, owing to the expiration of the four-year term of Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, and it seems most probable that a white man may get the position, James A. Ross, the editor, is the most talked-of colored aspirant or the place. With the position of minister to Liberia the only big job held by a colored Democrat, the hostility of Vardaman, Hoke Smith and other Southern Democrats, to colored members of their party and the added fact that some Republican leaders are not enthusiastic when it comes to confirming the nominations of colored Democrats it seems that the Democrats will not get anything like the same support in the coming Congressional elections that they received in 1912. REPUBLICAN HOSTILITY. Many Republican Senators and Congressmen are said to be still angry over the fact that colored men did not solidly support Taft and the Republican ticket in 1912. This was indicated when on two occasions when their absense prevented a quorum on the Jones amendment providing a far distribution of federal funds to Negro agricultural colleges. It must be said, however, that Bishop Walters has worked unselfishly for the recognition of colored Democrats, though he has only succeeded in having a number placed in positions that did not require naming by the President. He could have been named as minister to Hayti, but declined saying that his position as a bishop in A. M. E. Zion Church was big enough for any man. REV. WALLER LEAVES FOR NEW CHARGE IN SPRINGFIELD Rev. G. R. Waller, for more than twenty years pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, this city, left for Springfield, Mass, Tuesday, where he has accepted the pastorate of the Third Baptist Church. He has spent the best years of his life in the city, though a native of Virginia. He was educated at Lincoln University and Newton Theological Seminary. He has been identified with various movements, and was the founder of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. TO ENTERTAIN REV. THEOBALD Rev. Stephen R. Theobald, of the diocese of Minnesota, preached to a large congregation at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church Sunday morning. He talked to a large congregation at St. Augustine's Church, Washington, at night. He will preach at St. Earnabas Catholic Church, Biddle street and Argyle avenue, this Sunday, following which he will be tendered a reception by the members of the parish. While in the city Father Tneobald is the guest of Rev. James J. Nally. READY TO SERVE IN NEW FIELD Success of the Rev. George L. Davis, A. M. HELD IN HIGHEST ESTEEM. Former President of the Baptist Ministers' Conference In Philadelphia and For Ten Years Minister at Second Baptist Church Accepts Call of the Shiloh Church In Columbus, O. Philadelphia.—Unusual honors have been given of late by the Baptist brotherhood of this city to the Rev. George L. Davis, A. M., D. D., the retiring pastor of the Second Baptist church and a former president of the Baptist ministers' conference of this city and vicinity. It is doubtful if in the history of Philadelphia a retiring minister has received more indications of the high esteem in which he has been held and of the sincere regret occasioned by his departure. Dr. Davis is regarded as one of the most scholarly men and finest spirits among the colored ministers of Philadelphia. Always dignified, gentlemanly and courteous and always master of himself, even under the most trying circumstances, his calm presence, sound advice and impressive personality will be missed by the ministry and by his many friends in the City of Brotherly Love. He leaves Philadelphia in the very near future, having been called to the Shiloh Baptist church of Columbus, O. Dr. Davis was born in Danville, Ky., in 1870. His early training was received in the public schools of Indianapolis, Ind., where in 1885 he was converted and joined the New Bethel Baptist church of that city. He rose rapidly in the esteem of his pastor and fellow church members, filling in turn every office within the gift of his mother church. From 1888 to 1895 he was president of the Indiana state Baptist Sunday school convention, which was at that time the largest organized REY. GEORGE L. DAVIS, A. M. Christian body in the state. He organized the state B. Y. P. U. and also the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission society and was vice president of the Indianapolis local union of Endeavors, a white organization, and editor of the Endeavors' Life Line. In 1805 he was licensed to preach by the New Bethel Baptist church and the same year entered Lincoln university, graduating from the college department in 1809 with the degree of A. B. Upon entering the theological department of Lincoln Dr. Davis was called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist church of Media, Pa., which had at that time but fourteen members. Nevertheless, with untiring energy and perseverance he labored unabatingly until with a greatly increased membership, he succeeded in erecting a beautiful stone church cemetery at a cost of $8,000. He graduated from the theological department of Lincoln in 1902 with the degrees of S. T. B. A. M. In 1904 he was called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist church of Philadelphia, and in that year, too, he was married to Miss Frances Anderson of Greencastle, Pa. Mrs. Davis is a highly accomplished and refined woman of rare good nature and good looks. She is in every way an intelligent and fitting companion for her husband—grateful, genial and sympathetic, a cultured sister always to the members of her husband's church. Dr. Davis has served the Second Baptist church as pastor ten years, during which time the debt of the church has been entirely canceled and the membership increased. No breath of suspicion has ever rested against his name. He was president of the Baptist ministers' conference of Philadelphia during 1912, and in that year Lincoln university conferred the degree of doctor of divinity upon him. The call to the Shiloh, church in Ohio has been but recently accepted. On Thursday evening: April 23, a spain sid reception was tendered to Dr. and Mrs. Davis by the citizens of Philadelphia in co-operation with the members of the Second church and the Philadelphia ministry. Among the many tokens of esteem which Dr. Davis received at the reception was a purse of $100 from the members of his church and a gold watch charm appropriately inscribed from the Baptist ministers conference of this city.

In the party were Masters Benjamin Guest, Earl Bundy, Malstre Gassaway, Albert Bundy, Clarence Wicks, Raymond Brown and Charles A. Cary. Master Fritz Hill was one of the many boys who went to see the convict ship. If you want to know all about the iron balls, "cat nine tails" and other things used for prison work, just ask Master Hill.

B Callis defends the Exparte Council in repudiation of what Dr. Harvey Johnson says in the Maryland Voice Saturday, May 9, 1914. The Dr. takes a very indirect way of getting the facts in regards to the Council. He refers to Webster for the meaning of "Exparte," the word has reference to Party and not to facts. Hiscox's Directory says that the facts in an Exparte Council are just as legitimate as in a court of Equity. There can be no two sides to truth. The Dr. quotes Solomon as saying: "He that decideth a matter before hearing it is unwise." In this the Dr. condemns himself for he has only heard one side though he had an invitation and an opportunity to hear both. The Dr. also makes reference to the 18th chapter of Matthew. He has not been informed that we went in person, and asked for a hearing and were then ordered out. Next we communicated to the United Baptist Ministers Conference by letter and asked them to appoint 25 ordained ministers before whom we might appear in a mutual council. They treated us with the courtesy of laying the communication on the table indefinitely and assigning no reason whatever for doing so. As to the bitter terms used in denouncing the action of the United Baptist Ministers Conference, the words Unbaptistic, Unchristian and unprecedented, are mild in comparison to the action. Since the Dr. is so zealous about the scripture has he not, read what the Saviour says in the same chapter about forgiveness, verses 21-22; when Peter asked how often he should forgive his brother The Doctor charges the leader with disturbing the peace of the Ministers Conference while meeting at the Union' Baptist Church. The doctor is in error for there was no real peace, as he himself, and some of the brethren were so far apart that they hardly greeted each other with due courtesy. And today their union may be compared with two cats tied together by their tails. I want to advise the doctor to never trouble trouble, until trouble troubles him. The doctor says that the other side had no representative. Rev. A. L. Bailey who is an expellant of the Enon Baptist Church, also a member of the United Baptist Ministers Conference was present. Rev. S. S. Crockret was also present and was asked to take part with the council. Your statement is not true, Doctor? The doctor says not one wise man in the council. We may be unwise, but we believe that Jesus Christ always was the Son of God. REV. AUGUSTUS B. CALLIS, D. D. Thomas R. Smith, the hotel-keeper, is again able to be out after undergoing a successful operation at a local hospital. Mr. Norris R. Johnson, of 305 N. Pine street, left for Cape May, Tuesday where he will spend the summer.

We cannot, therefore, agree with our good friend "Booster Knock" when he asserts "that nearly a thousand self-respecting, colored citizens experienced the most galling and humiliating evening of their lives." Upon the contrary, their immediate action shows just the reverse. They were temporarily a little perplexed, and inconvenienced, but, the perfect triumph of their self-respect was witnessed in the remarkable getting together, in a short time, under their own vine and fig tree, and a magnificent vindiction of the superiority of their inner life by the program of exercises which followed. A "jack-ass" can never humiliate man. Manifestations of vulgar instincts against a people of refined natures simply make more manifest and clear the superiority of that life. The superiority of the black race is evidenced by their ability to rise above hate and littleness, and administer the rebuke taught them by their Lord and Master, in returning good for evil. They abused no one. They left all the nasty action to the other side. It had been advertised constantly in the daily papers, for the last few days, that the closing meeting of the Association would take place in a certain hall. It was therefore evident in the public mind that such would be the case. It is hardly possible that none of the authorities of the hall in question were aware of such. If any mistake, or misunderstanding had taken place, such authorities could have easily had it cleared up before the hour appointed for the assembling of the people at the hall. That they did not do. The association, and their friends were locked out. They went elsewhere and held their meeting. There are none so blind as those who refuse to have light. Evidently, it was in the mind of those who projected the meeting at the hall in question, to afford an opportunity for the thinking and refined white people of the community to be informed on a subject wherein their ignorance is most dense. They would have no light on a dark subject. Let the guilf be on their own heads. "The mills Be on their side of the gods grind exceedingly fine." Their foot shall slip in due season. It is ours to overcome evil with good. Our Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, one of Maryland's greatest productions, shows us how. Writing from Alabama, in 1871, just six years after the close of the civil war, she says: "While in Taladega I was entertained, and well entertained, at the house of one of our new citizens. He is living in the house of his former master. He is a brick maker by trade, and I rather think mason also. He was worth to his owner, it was reckoned, fifteen hundred, or about that a year. He worked with him seven years; and in that seven years he remembers receiving from him fifty cents. Now mark the contrast! That man is now free, owns the home of his former master, has, I think, more than sixty acres of land, and his master is in the poorhouse." Let us not envy the ungodly, but put our trust in the Lord. Some few years ago, we could no more hold our meeting in "Bethel Church," as now constituted, than we could in the hall which locked us out. What is coming, who can say? A TRIUMPH IN ORATORY AND MUSIC In all of the city of Baltimore, no more fitting or appropriate place could have been found for the great exhibitional triumph in oratory and music, which took place in Baltimore during the first week in May. A little over a hundred years ago a little Negro boy, having a white mother, and a black father through the persistence of his half-brother, who was white, he got a splendid education. His white brother would not go to school unless this little Negro half-brother attended him. The Negro boy got most out of the schooling. He ran away, afterwards, to New York. There he came into contact with Bishop Asbury, and by Bishop Asbury was ordained a Methodist preacher. But he was still a slave. In secret, he returned to Baltimore. Friends raised money and purchased his freedom. Through him a large following withdrew from Sharp St. Church, and with their cooperation he organized and founded "Bethel Church." This was the very first congregation of colorpeople in this city and state having a man of their own color as its pastor. Thus, Providence seemed to order that the closing session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People should be held in as beautiful and as spacious a building in this city belonging to a body, which was called into being and established by this Negro, rather than in the hall of an institution which excludes Negroes from its class rooms. It was a most suitable and sacred spot for the oratory of Spingarn, Millholand, Villard and others re-echoing the same strain of liberty for the oppressed which was the occasion of the incarceration of William Lloyd Garrison in a Baltimore Jail. It, was in this same Bethel Church, way back in the twenties, that the free colored people, of this city, assembled to praise God, for the then Emancipation of the colored people in the West Indies. Nobody seemed to know anything about it, but the great concert which followed in Bethel Church on the evening of May 8th seemed like another Providential happening. Roland W. Hays, a Negro of West Indian birth, the star of that occasion, unwittingly, offered to the Almighty a rich expression of gratitude on the part of the people he represented in his blood, for the kind, generous, and sympathetic act of the Negro people of Baltimore, nearly a century ago, uttered in the same Bethel Church. Mrs Wheatley and Miss Lucy Slowe are to be heartily congratulated, as genuine benefactors, in making it possible for the people of Baltimore to enjoy, as they unquestionably did, the richest and most inspiring music ever rendered in this city by persons of African descent. It was, indeed, a great triumph. We have never heard anyone who surpassed Roland W. Hays in sweetness, clearness, and effectiveness of song. We most heartily commend Mr. Hays to all lovers of genuinely good music. The first week in May 1914, will ever be remembered as Negro Week—an irresistible triumph in Oratory and Music. GOD, GIVE US MEN Give us men— Men—from every rank. Fresh, and free and frank, Men of thought and reading, Men of light and leading, Men of royal breeding, Men of faith and not of faction, Men of lofty aim and action, Give us men—I say again, Give us men. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER AN INTERESTING OUT-DOOR EVENT One of the most interesting outdoor events of the spring is being planned by the Women's Cooperative Civic League for the 21st of May. This will take the form of a flower market for the sale of plants, seeds and cut flowers. The League has obtained the consent to the use of the lawn in front of Bethel A. M. E. Church and under the direction of the decoration committee, composed of Mrs. John Hurst, Mrs George McMechen and Miss Fannie Hayes. it is confidently promised that the artistic effect will be charming. Already the posters advertising the mart are awakening the attention and interest of the community. Another feature of the occasion will be booths illustrating the various activities of the committees of the League. D.: M. E. Thompson, chairman of the milk committee, will be in charge of a booth illustrating the importance of a healthy milk supply and of intelligent care in the use of milk. Mrs. E. J. Wheatley as chairman of the Refuse Disposal Committee, will be in, charge of a booth illustrating the problems of the housekeeper with garbage and trash. Other committees having booths will be Mrs. R. G. Chissell, chairman of the smoke abatement committee and Mrs. A. L. Gaines, chairman of the educational committee. Mrs. Edgar Braxton will be in charge of the refreshment booth in place of Mrs John Harvey, who is chairman of the membership committee. The flower mart is under the general auspices of the Home Garden Committee. Mrs. F. N. Cardoza, the chairman, is actively engaged in the necessary preliminaries. Altogether the mart promises to be a gala affair. The proceeds of the market will be used to carry out the plans of civic betterment proposed by the league. WAR "EXPERTS" DISCUSS MEXICO Several men were standing at the corner of Pine and Saratoga streets the other day discussing the Mexican situation. "I tell you if Uncle Sam gets mad he will whip the Mexicans in twenty-four hours," said one from this country. "All I know there won't be many colored folks down there fighting," said another. "The Mexicans have some guns that fire shells for six months and hurl rocks the remainder of the year," said Wade Richardson, "and the United States won't have any picnic withem, either." Thus the varying views of the war "experts" were aired for more than an hour, without reaching the point of mediation. IMPERIAL POTENTATE BEING FETED Word has been received from the West that Mr. John H. Murphy, Imperial potentate of the Mystic Shriners, has been feted in every city that he has visited, Shriners out-vieing each other in making his visit most pleasant. Since leaving Baltimore on April 23, he has visited temples in Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cincinnati Toledo, Cleveland, Indianapolis. Terre Haute, St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha. He will also visit temples in Chicago and Minneapolis before returning home. Among other places that he has visited are Wilberforce University, Brazil, Ind., and Lincoln, N.B. He will also visit his daughter, Mrs. Eva S. Purdy, of Somerset, Pa., before returning home. [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit and tie]. P. N. F.

ALL IN READINESS FOR MARATHON Great Interest Being Manifested By Athletic Clubs in the Five Mile Run When the starter's pistol cracks at Belvedere and Park Heights avenues, next Saturday morning, it will send away over a course of five miles of country and park roads and city streets, 26 of the city's fastest runners, who will compete with each other in an effort to carry off the various prizes to be offered by the Afro American Ledger for the one who breasts the tape first in the epoch-making Marathon race, that will end in front of the building at Eutaw street and Druid Hill avenue. Entered for the race are most of the athletic clubs of the city, in including the Spartan, the Young Dunbar, Trinity, Astoria. Belmont and the Colored High School, besides several runners not connected with any club. Some of these have never run in any race before while others have covered distances almost equal to that which will be run next Saturday, but all are confident that they will make a place for themselves in the athletic annals of this city. Some have expressed themselves as not being satisfied to win the first prize offered by the Afro-American Ledger for finishing in front of its office building first, but say that they will be the first to pass Stokes and Derry's drug store, at Druid Hill avenue and Oxford street, and Mr. Fennell's Pharmacy, at Biddle street and Druid Hill avenue, and thereby carry off the prizes offered by these enterprising business men. In accordance with the requirements of the race, the runners have been examined either by Dr. Harry S. McCard, or Dr. John C. Robinson, who have given a clean bill of health for the occasion. The committee in charge of the race consisting of Bernard Webb, Arthur J. Wheeler, Llewilly Wilson, Daniel H. Murphy and D. Arnett Murphy, have been working hard to complete final arrangements for the holding of the race and have succeeded in arousing wide spread interest in the coming event. Following are resolutions presented the Sporting Editor from the Young Dunbar A. A. We feel very proud in printing them. (Sporting Ed) Sporting Editor of the Afro-American Ledger. My dear Sir:— At the last regular meeting of the Young Dunbar Athletic Association the following resolutions were passed: Resolved, That we express to the Afro-American Ledger our heart-felt thanks for the chance to compete with others, as furnished by the Five Mile Marathon Race of Saturday, May 23, 1914, and That we thank the Afro-American Ledger, for the notices given of our club's work; and That we assure the Afro-American Ledger of our very great interest in the coming race; and that we have been doing, and shall continue to do all we can to stimulate and to foster interest in the race; and That, if your paper will furnish the material, we will on all our subsequent training runs, wear cards announcing the coming race, and will so arrange our runs that the notices will be carried into as many different neighborhoods as possible. Resolved further, That these resolutions be entered upon the clubs's minutes, and that a copy of them be sent to the Afro-American Ledger. Very respectfully yours, Leon Richardson, president. George Howard, secretary. James E. Bantum, Manager. RULES GOVERNING ENTRANTS IN MARATHON RACE: 1. All entrants must be examined by physician, who shall certify as to their health. 2.

HAYES RECITAL Baltimore Music Lovers Enjoy a Rich Treat.—Large Audience Shows Its Appreciation The Roland W. Hayes Recital given on May 5th at Bethel Church for the benefit of the Day Nursery, proved to be the most phenomenal success of its kind in the history of Baltimore taking into account the fact that notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather about one thousand persons were in attendance. The program was one of the best ever heard in our city. Mr. Hayes surpassed even the great expectations of his audience and sang himself straight into hearts of his hearers. Mr. Hayes is the fortunate possessor of one of nature's rarest gifts, a voice naturally "placed." This natural ability coupled with most excellent and careful training makes Mr. Hayes easily one of the greatest young tenors of America. The "Peerless Octette" rendered two beautiful numbers. Mr. Jacob Jones, the barbone soloist, did excellent work. Miss Louise Anderson, teacher of music at Morgan College, rendered the piano numbers with the usual grace and beauty that characterizes Miss Anderson's work. Miss C. Beatrice Lewis, teacher of piano at the Howard Conservatory of Music, proved to be an accompanist of unusual ability. Mrs. Edward J. Wheatley and Miss Lucy D. Slowe, who presented Mr. Hayes for the first time to a Baltimore audience, and Mrs. J. H. Ross, President of the Day Nursery, for which organization the affair was given wish to thank the many friends who assisted in making the recital a success. FIRST AUTOMOBILE FUNERAL The first colored automobile funeral that ever passed through the city was that of Mrs. Sidney Ann Hall, whose funeral was held at Tyson Methodist Protestant Church, West Roland Park, Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Alfred Baker officiated, assisted by Revs. E. W. Scott and Reuben Parker. Burial was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Samuel T. Hemsley was the funeral director.

COL MIDNIGHT GETS SNUBBED Chester, Penn.—It strikes me f was: in Charlotte, N.C., wheol took my: pen in hand to write you a few lines last week to inform you of my health and to let you know that Iam well. I had many things in Charlotte to claim my attentivn, and as soon ag I got through I left. . Charlotte ig the official home of theA. M.-E. Zion Church; because there is located the publishing house, the ‘Sunday school depart- ment, the, other. departments and two bishops live in the'town. But I wasn’t there the guest of the A. M. E. Zion Church, although [had the pleasure of taking a meal with the Rev. Drs Bruce, editor of the Sunday school literature, and who is likely to be one of the bishogs in thia.church, Jn. the ‘printing house things were still so to speak, or they ~ were not.as busy as they should be in order to maintaina:big place like-that. 1 was with the Rev. Dr. G. W. Watkins, “pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, and while his wife was sick, ‘he’ had:me entertained at Mr. Watson’s. 1 was: there on Sunday. aod spoke at the church in the morning and afternoon, and in the evening I. was at Zbenezer Baptist Church and enjoyed very much being there. Then’ followed on Monday with apecial:talk-to the women, and:they certainly did ‘turn’ out to «that special lecture. At night at: the cchurch. I do not have much ‘to complain about in the city and if I do not complain then you must not blame me. .. Wednesday. morn- ing found me enroute to, Chester, but I. stopped ‘at: Rock Hill, S. C. T was met at the stable by. J. T. S. White, editor of the: Rock Hill Messenger. Editor White is indeed a busy man, but’he found the time to come. to meet me at the stable atd to say a few words ts me. He toted. me out to his home and told me { would be his-guest. He has a beautiful home, and then he has made maoy friends. I saw “two sous and one daughter at his home. On my way to his ‘home, 1 met W. H. Davis, who is one of the leading merchants in the state. 1 mec him aad in talking learned that he had married Miss Mattie Gatewood, who use to teach” in Montgomery, Ala, She has a fine tome, aad a man with a plenty property and money. I had the pleasure of eating with them, I then met the church, talked with the people, looked into the print- ing plant-of the editor and left for Chester. [had been invited to Chester by the Rev, J. D. Brooks, but found. that he had resigned and left tha city, but’ I was.there just the same. All ;the plans had been arranged and I was to stop at the home of Mrs.- Mamie Jones,-and stopped there just as I told you L would do. “ft is out of the question. for me to. tell. you all” {have in‘mind to gay, but you may find:me doing ust alittle kicking., “I” was book- ‘ad. to. be -in: town two days and sthought that I-would use the time ‘looking around at'the-echools, and -eonsidéied' that it would’ not be out .of place, and since there Were'tivo schools.-f- thought I would take a achool--each~-day.. Out for the. schools-i' started. . ‘The fitat: day‘ visited:the gradéd echool, and found the:principal'a very busy mao... He did not-have any time’'to give to visitors, but told one “of his guests to show me through the school. “I. ‘looked around; and. got--caught there by rain and.had :to spend sometime with the little’children. {have always. been a little back- «ward in gging to school. with white teachers, unless I had a special invitation, -becauge as ‘a.rule a white’ man knows how to treat white. visitors to his school, but ' don’t know how to treat one:of us, and thia is what°1 met the next day. (-am.indeed sorry that [ sent there, and [ think that it will never fall my lot to-go there again, and: if. {do not you will have to <forgive me. If F tell-you,.you will eT teeter Oe et eget epi Rh et. wins he made-a‘prayer that I hope went right to: heaven and God heard it. ‘He got through; asked some. questions, and. then it was to an end. He dismissed. or sent the studenta to the room. Now you watit to know what happened next? I went: to his.office, ‘and acted real ‘dictionary, for insteal of giving him my name I handed him a.card, which had my name already on it, and exactly who I was. He asked me if {.were under any society or board. I told that I was not, and he told me ‘that I could go througn and luok at the class rooms if so desired. But ! felt that if he wanted me to'see the buildings and class room he would have sent gome ane. to be with me, sol did not;go one step, but left. the campus ag guickly as could. [bet my fetid to doughnuts if { had been a white man, “1 would‘not have been treated thus but if he had been too busy, he would Fave sent a student to show me‘around. . ‘When {t comes to some white folks, teach- ing in Negro - schools,’ some of them are certainly misfits and they know. they are. But I must not say anything, for they are white folks and must have a job. Brother Marquis: has been in some kind of work for a long time, and as he’ is getting well up in-yeara, he should have a gcod job, and £ congratulate his board upon being able to. furnish him-a good job, yet how can,a man like that teach that~-doctrine’ which’ the-Apostle Paul’ thundered from Mare Hill? | Wil) the .students who come:from under & “president: like that have the proper respect for his own? From start to finish, he is taught to look up to the -white man. This is as trve as the fleas on a dog’s back. Such Students as a rule can only.see-good.in.a white man. I .cannot blame: some of the young men and women ‘when they assert. themselves, and let tne world know that they are reai men and women. Now you will recall the trouble at Shaw’ University. I have not been able to learn all the trouble, and.I ‘take a position.from what Thave been able to Jearn that one would. not expect me-to take, but it is due to facts that I do this, I am not in-position to sympathize with the students. They acted wrong. Now, no.school can run without rule, and it. is out of the question for a school ‘to go without disei- -pline. A student married. during the school term which was in vio- fation of the rule. [am informed that he was asked to withdraw, and enter the next fall asa married man. He refused to do so, and the students told him to etand on this rights. His rights were to obey the rule. He did not and then a strike followed, Perhaps it would have. been. alright for them to strike, but then they de- ‘manded that the president be dis- charged at once and a new one sent. The Boara refused to do so,: and. { soagratulaty the Board. Whoever heard of students: dis- charging a president of: a college”. Not much, . and if they had acecm- plished it, then they would have kept discharging presidents I am informed that the medical departmeat of Shaw Ubiversity will close down-after this year. 1 do not ‘know whether this is‘the| outcome of the trouble or not... f am.now looking.into it and will let you know later. In Ghester, S..C., I-met many ‘people. The teachers there were tas friendly-as could be. Three of them went out to bear me make. a: few: remarks at night and two in the ‘afternoon. “They have «a fine domestic science department there under Miss Tessie L. Holly, and I met®’Mies Daisy D: Washington, who is one’ of the other teachers, Now I ;jumped into Charlotte, |got_me a bed car right from the window. The agent there was interested in securing a lower bed for ‘*Fatty’’ as he called me, and ‘wished me well, He said that he liked to assist’ a gentleman,caring Ne oehin. about his color. | TUE AFRO- AMERICAN -LeDGEr ~——/SEVERVTHING 18:IN- READINESS FOR THE ATHLETIC EVENT OF THE SEASON 5 MILE FA ry | —— boa a = rs ‘MARATHON ~ , : é a : See ! | RACE | | ee ae fF UNDER THE AUSPICES.

Hawkins and others connected with the Colored High School will speak this Monday night and Dr. S. B. Hughes and George W. F. McMechen will be held nightly until the close of the celebration. CHURCH EXTENSION BOARD Through an inadvertence in the report of the annual meeting of the Board of the Church Extension of the A. M. E. Church the Afro-American Ledger stated that $333,940 had been received during the year, instead of $33,940, as was reported by Secretary B. F. Watson. A CORRECTION. Through an unintentional error it was made to appear that George A. Gates, at one time a druggist here, had secured an annullment of a decree of divorce granted some time ago. It was also made to appear that a subsequent marriage of Mrs. Ione Gates had taken place and that the decree of annullment made the second marriage illegal. The facts are that Mrs. Gates had the divorce set aside and her husband had been married again, and not she. Judge Keedy, of the Fourth Judicial Circuit, granted the annullment. Harry S. Cammings was the attorney for Mrs. Gates. Mr. Samuel Matthews, of Robert street, who has been in failing health for some time, will enter Johns Hopkins hospital sometime next week.
