THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXIII. NO. 6 BALTIMOREA PRIZE BEAUTY Miss Hazel Macbeth One of The "Fifteen Highest Exponents of Negro Beauty" EXPOSITION A GREAT SUCCESS Many Exhibits Depitcing Progress the Race Has Made Since Emancipation New York, October 2.—The Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Eighth avenue has been the Mecca for thousands this week, all bent upon seeing the wonders of the Autumn Exposition and Amusement Festival. The affair was the greatest of its kind ever given by colored New York and reflects great credit on its promoters. A feature of the opening Monday night, was the announcement of the fifteen winners in the Beauty Contest. The judges had over 200 photographs of beautiful women from all parts of the country from which to make selections and the winners were those who are regarded as types of Negro belles, who would make any bronze colored Adonis kneel and beseech their hand. A Baltimore girl, Mrs. Hazel[A. Macbeth, was among the winners. The others were: Misses Nellie Peck, Jersey City; Pearl Cass, St. Louis; Madeline Clifton, Boston; Addie Gordon, Philadelphia; Pearl Jones, Oakand, Va.; Anitta Simpson, Philadelphia; Louisa Kriger, Nora Newsome, Mary Onley. C. S. Richardson, and Mrs. Edna Lewis, all of New York city; M. Estelle White, New Orleans, and Mrs. Chester J. Powell, Sheridan, Wyo. Miss Newsome won the special prize for New York city and vicinity. Each of the winners will be given a solid gold brooch. MANY EXHIBITS. There were many exhibits depicting the progress of the race aong various lines since Emancipation. The booths were tastefully arranged. There were forty of these, all installed by W. J. Price, a well known colored resident of Brooklyn. Next to the exhibits, the many amusement features attracted attention, as well as afternoon dances. Moving pictures of various expositions scenes were also on the program. The athletic exhibitions of Le Great Monday, Bocker Ben Ali's troupe of Arabs in starting aerobic feats, a female orchestra and Henry Creamer and Miss Hattie Christian in a new dance called the "Exposition Tango," were features Monday night. Sombre Sada, the sister of "Soft Shoe Sam," who has been mystifying New Yorkers by his ability to conceal his identity; vaudeville and dance skits were the stellar attractions Tuesday evening. Thursday evening was known as Composer's and Reminiscent Night and the big song hits of Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson, Ernest Hogan, each of whom is now dead, were sung with the old time vigor, James Reese Europe, Rosamond Johnson, Will Tyers, Will H. Dixon, Ford Dabney, Will Vodery and Will Marion Cook, conducted numbers written by themselves. There were also song hits composed by Alexander Rogers, one of the promoters of the exposition The Negro Choral Society, under the direction of Lawrence Free- man also furnished - several numbers. There were many side and interesting features. The exposition closed yesterday with a skit for the juveniles, entitled "No School Tomorrow," and as it will be Saturday the kiddies thoroughly enjoyed it. The exposition was in charge of a committee composed of Alex Rogers, Lester Walton, Roncoo Doughtery, Fred R. Moore, Jesse Shipp, Leigh Whipper and James Waldron. PYTNIANS ENTERTAIN SUPREME COUNCILLOR New York, October 1.—The biennial meeting of the Grand Court of Calanthe, of New York, auxiliary to the Knights of Pythians, Eastern and Western Hemispheres was held Wednesday evening, September 23. Mrs. Jennie Ross, of Baltimore, the supreme worthy councilor, was present and delivered an address. It was decided to meet annually, instead of biennially. The following officers were elected: Harriet T. Hall, past grand worthy councilor; Jessie Droper, grand worthy councilor, Carrie Harris, grand worthy orator; Richard E. Clarke, grand worthy register of deeds; Mary J. Conningham, grand worthy register; Mary J. Slade, grand worthy receiver of deposits; Julia Scott, grand worthy escort; Lucinda Sims, grand worthy herald; Mary Ellen Robinson, grand worthy protector and Mary Beebe, supreme court representative.

Hughes who died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Truly Hatchett, Baltimore, was held at the First Baptist Church last Friday after noon. The services were largely attended. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. The deceased was active in religious and charitable work, and had a large circle of friends. She is survived by four children. "HILL BILLIES" DRIVE NEGROES FROM HOME Asheville, N. C., October 1.—"Governor" New, an old colored man, and his son told a harrowing tale to a local attorney yesterday, of having been forced by a band of "hill billies" to leave their home in Greenwood county, S. C., under pain of death. They were told that South Carolina was too small for them and were given a railroad ticket to Spartansburg and some money. Badly frightened they continued here. The elder New has a farm of 130 acres on which are 12,000 pounds of cotton and eight acres of corn. He fears his crops may be destroyed. The local attorney promised to make an investigation through Governor Cole Bease. GELEBRATING ANNIVERSARY OF New York, October 1.—Exercises incident to the forty-third anniversary of St. Mark's M. E. Church, began to-night and will continue until the last Monday in the month. The celebration will close with a reception in the new church house, 237 W. 53rd street. The house has been fixed up in modern style and contains gymnasiums for both men and women, baths, reading and recreation rooms Rev. W. H. Brooks, a former member of the Washington M. E. Conference, has been pastor of the church for the past eighteen years. ARE ALL READY TO FIGHT FOR VOTES Republicans, Progressives and Democrats Getting Ready for November Electisns WANT THE SOUTH'S VOTE CUT Candidate Sproesser Makes No Mention of a Like Reduction in Congress, Howeyer. With the holding of the Progressive and Republican State Conventions this week and the Democratic Convention last week, the politicians have begun to get busy for the November election. The Republican convention, which was held at the Lyceum Theatre, Monday, was the best attended since Roosevelt almost tore the party asunder in Maryland in 1912. As one observer put it: "We could not have gotten such a crowd here with wine and cigars a year ago." C.1. Edward C. Carrington, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate, was on hand and delivered an address in which he upheld the economic policies of the Republican party. The convention adopted a resolution offered by former State Senator Albert M. Sproesser, endorsing the proposal of the Republican National Committee that Southern representation in national conventions be reduced. The party platform is a reaffirmation of the economic program for which the Republicans have always stood. While the convention agreed for a reduction of Southern representation in accordance with the party votes in the States that have disfranchised colored voters, no mention was made or suggestion offered for bringing about a general re-enfranchisement. The Congressional candidates from the six Maryland districts were on hand and made brief addresses. PROGRESSIVES PLAN CAMPAIGN. The Progressives hold their State Convention at the Rennert Wednesday. The party weet on record as favoring the submission of a nation-wide referendum vote as to the continuance of the saloon. Col. Roosevelt in speeches in Ohio this week and in an address at Philadelphia, Thursday night, declared himself in favor of national prohibition. Charles J. Bonaparte refused to stand for the United States Senate and Dr. V. M. Richard, of Washington county was elected. A vigorous campaign will be waged. The Republicans are already looking toward the mayoralty election next May. The only announced candidate is Charles H. Heintzman, a Republican member of the Second Branch City Council. He was on hand at the convention at the Lyceum Theatre and received many assurances of support. It seems most likely that Mayor Preston may enter the Democratic primaries for mayor next April. He has made what many regard as a hustling chief executive and there has been a growing feeling in his favor. No one has announced himself as a candidate for Governor next November. It is hardly likely that Governor Goldsborough will run again. City Councilman Cummings will be in the race for renomination in the Seventeenth ward, but may have opposition. No one has announced himself as a candidate against him as yet, however. [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. Rev. Dr. Daniel W. Shaw, former pastor of Centennial and Ames Memorial M. E. Churches, this city, died at Oberlin, Ohio, where he had gone in an effort to recover his health, Monday. Though he had been complaining for sometime, he was not incapacitated for duty until last March He gave up his pastorate at Ames a few months ago, and Rev. A. J. Mitchell was appointed to succeed him. Funeral services were held at Oberlin, Wednesday. Among the resolutions read was one from the Baltimore M. E. Preachers Meeting, with which body he was actively identified. The deceased was born in Louisiana about 56 years ago. He was educated at Baldwin University and Berea College, graduating from the latter institution in 1883. He had pastored in Lynchburg, Oberlin, Charleston, W. Va., and Cumberland, Md. He was widely known as a temperance advocate. Dr. Shaw was a man of broad reading and was regarded as one of the best informed ministers in the Washington M. E. Conference. While pastoring in Charleston, he edited a paper, and started a movement to nominate colored candidates for the West Virginia legislature. Republican leaders became alarmed and as a result, the late S. W. Starks was appointed State librarian. This position has since been held by the race. Dr. Shaw was at one time an editorial writer on the Afro-American Ledger. He was sent to Centennial Church, this city, in 1909, where he remained until being stationed at Ames Church, eighteen months ago. A widow, two sons, and two daughters survive. WILL ENJOIN ST. CHRISTOPHER'S New York, October 2—Rev. H. C. Bishop, rector of St. Phillips Church has brought suit to restrain the seceding members of St. Christopher's Athletic Club from using the club name. Mr. and Mrs. Lester A. Walton are receiving congratulations on the birth of a second daughter. Ground will be broken for the new St. James Presbyterian Church Sunday. Miss Mary Johnson, formerly of Baltimore, and J. H. Walker were married last Thursday night here by Rev. W. H. Brooks. Assistant District Attorney Cornelius McDougald accidentally fractured his ankle a few days ago. Burlington, N. J., October 1—A number of colored citizens have arranged a company to operate a hosiery mill. The directors included Rev. Peter Holt, Rev. Simon Walker, Dr. Hubert Edwards, and John Johnson. PRICE THREE CENTS BISHOP HARRIS NOT GUILTY IN ARSON CASE He and Six Former Trustees of A.M.E.Zion Church at Asheville Held Blameless CASE CAUSES COMMENT The Asheville Daily Citizen Comments On Integrity of Indicted Men. Asheville, N. C., October 1—The alleged charges of arson against Bishop Charles R. Harris, of the A. M. E. Zion Church and six others indicted in connection with the burning of an A. M. E. Zion Church fell flat Tuesday, when acting Solicitor G. Spear Reynolds in the Superior Court moved to no pros the charges without reference to the jury. He stated that the evidence did not warrant any conviction; that the defendants bore themselves well on the stand and that they were men of integrity. Judge Thomas A. Jones, of counsel for the defense said that he would not accept a nol pros, but wanted an unqualified dismissal. Mr. Reynolds said he would agree to this, and "not guilty confessed" was written on the indictments. In stating that the defendants were not guilty, Judge Cline said that if the case had been given to the jury, only the names of several would have been mentioned, and that there was absolutely no evidence against the others. Besides Bishop Harris the defendants were: Neah Murrough, W. Pegram, Elijah McDowell, W. P. Brooks, Parker Johnson, and Caleb Martin. W. J. Trent, now secretary of the Atlanta Young Men's Christian Association, and Dr. J. W. Walker, were absolved of all guilt at the opening day of the trial Monday. The case has attracted wide interest on account of the prominence of the parties involved and the general belief in their innocence. They were congratulated on all sides, though no demonstration took place in the courtroom. The charges resulted from the burning of a church two years ago. The State Insurance Department investigated charges that the insurance on the building had been increased and then came the fire. Witnesses for the defense claimed that the property was worth about $15,000, while the insurance collected only amounted to $9,000. The charge was also made that M. S. Phinney, pastor of the burned edifice, had planned its destruction. Bishop Harris was born in Fayetteville, N. C., in 1844. His parents took him to Ohio at an early age, where he attended the Cleveland High School. He joined the American Wesleyan Church in 1863 and several years later became connected with the A. M. E. Zion Church. He joined the North Carolina Conference in 1872. He has been a member of every general conference of the denomination since 1876. He was elected manager of the A. M. E. Zion Publishing House in 1880, but resigned in 1882. He is best known as a most zealous worker for Livingstone College, Salisbury, which institution he has served in various capacities. He was elected to the bishopric in 1888. He resides at Salisbury. COMMENT ON VERDICT In an editorial comment on the verdict, the Asheville Daily Citizen says: "While the Insurance Department had sufficient grounds where- on to base an investigation of the A. M. E. Zion Church, practically no white man in this district believed that such men as Bishop Harris, W. J. Trent, Dr. Walker, Noah Murrough and others who were acquitted and fully exonerated by the Superior Court had any hand in, or knowledge of so base a crime as the wilful destruction of church property in order to secure insurance thereon. "It was unfortunate for these men that in the process of law their names should be associated with that of an individual, who according to his own statements on the stand, had coolly discussed the matter of a profitable fire. When the charges were first made public, this community and other communities in the South refused to consider Bishop Harris and the others of the church in this city as being implicated in so foul a plot." PROF, SCARBOROUGH DEFENDS WILBERFORCE Asbury Park, N.J., October 1. A spirited defense of the aims and achievements of Wilberforce University by President William S. Scarborough and enthusiastic approval of his remarks were among the features of the third annual Educational Congress and Chataquua held under the auspices of the First Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church here last week. The chataqua was largely attended. Bishop Evans Tyree presided and preached the opening sermon. The purpose of the gathering is to aid Wilberforce University. The next one will be held at Bethel Church, New York city. While President Scarborough's address was devoted mainly to a recital of the present needs and the prospective improvements at the university, he took occasion to make exceptions to some statements regarding the university in an article appearing in the August Crisis. This article, he said, grossly misrepresented the institution, which, he averred, not only stands for the best and highest in learning, but for a well-rounded development along other lines. He said that the artice in question made it appear that normal and industrial development of the school which is maintained by the State of Ohio, was the feature, while it was only one of the many advantages offered. His remarks were appaluded and the ministers showed their approval by giving $1,585 in the collection for it. Pof. A.S. Jackson, commissioner of educator for the A. M. E. Church delivered an address giving an outline of the educational work being done by the denomination, and Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, also spoke. When asked by a representative of the Afro-American Ledger did no have anything further to say, Dr. Scarborough replied, that he would have been perfectly satisfied had a disposition been shown to correct the impression made by the article. FUNERAL OF DR. MOLSON Philadelphia, October 2.—The funeral of Dr. Harry Gerald Molson, who died Wednesday following an operation for a carbuncle, was held at his late home, 4403 Wallace street yesterday. The obsequies were attended by a large circle of friends of the deceased physician. Interment was private. He was born 43 years ago, and his wife, Miss Annie Creditt, a former teacher in the Baltimore public schools, survives. Are You Interested?

RAYNES SALES CO MAKES HIS MARK IN LITERATURE AUTHOR AND LEADING POET Contemporary and Friend of the Late Paul Laurence Dunbar Receives Genuine Recognition From Men of Letters—Believes In Possibilities of Hie Race and Is Optimistic. Philadelphia. - Perhaps since the death of Dunbar no other Afro-American writer has been more successful in placing his literary productions in high class white magazines and daily papers, as well as in our leading race publications, than the Rev. James D. Corrothers, D. D., of this city. Dr. Corrothers is the only colored minister in the entire history of the race who has and his productions accepted by the Century Magazine, to which he has contributed for sixteen years. His poems have appeared in the same numbers and on the same page with those of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar. In November, 1912. Dr. Corrothers was chosen by the Century's editor as the race's representative in poetry in a special number of the magazine in REV. DR. J. D. CORROTHERS which Dr. Booker T. Washington represented the race in prose, Henry O. Tanner in painting and Will Marion Cook in music. Three of his poems appeared in that issue of the Century, editorial comment being made upon the work of these four members of the race, in various lines. In the American Magazine for March, 1014, appeared an illustrated short story by Dr. Corrothers entitled "At the End of the Controversy." His recent sketch of Dr. C. Albert Tindley; the popular lyric writer, and M. E. pastor of Philadelphia, sold 1,000 extra copies of the Associated Sunday Magazines, in which the sketch appeared. But little of Dr. Corrothers' work is in dialect. A poem of his entitled "The Dream and the Song," which appeared in the Century last January, was extensively copied by both white and colored papers. The Philadelphia Press referred to this poem as "a classic," and published a column sketch of the author with his photograph. Before entering the magazine field Dr. Corrothers was a newspaper man, having "done space" on several daily papers in Chicago. He has also done occasional work for daily papers in New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis. He is the author of two books and has contributed frequently to race publications. He is the only Negro who has ever had a whole page article appear in a metropolitan daily and has had his poems and stories illustrated by such famous white artists as R. F. Outcault, the creator of "Buster Brown," and Frank Schoonover. His story, "A Mau They Didn't Know," published in two numbers of the Crisis last winter, was widely discussed by race leaders. He has now in press a new volume to which an introduction has been written by Ray Stannard Baker, associate editor of the American Magazine, and author of the noted book, "Following the Color Lue." Though not at present engaged in an active pastorate, Dr. Corrothers is an ordained Baptist minister and the grandson of a Baptist minister. He was born in Michigan forty-five years ago and was educated in Northwestern university and in Bennett college. He was a personal friend of Dunbar and of the late Miss Frances E. Willard; is an athlete and has always been a total abstainer. He has organized and built one church and has rebuilt two others. He believes in race development and in a ministry of service rather than in one of mere emotion. He has never allowed his literary work to interfere with his work as a minister and pastor. He is blessed with a wife and two sons. Mrs. Corrothers ranks with the leading pianists of the race and is quite successful as a music teacher. In view of the great demand at the present time for men of Dr. Corrothers' type in the active ministry, it would not be surprising to hear of his being called to fill the pulpit of some Baptist church before very long. Dr. Corrothers' home, at 600 North Thirty-nine street, is the mecca for literary and musical personages. By close attention to duty and by his pleasing manners he has won many friends, who admir him for his ability and manly bearing. FOREMOST IN BUSINESS. How Mme. C. J. Walker is Helping Women of the Race. Boston.—Among the noted business women from a distance who attended the recent session of the great convention of Odd Fellows were Madam C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., and Miss Lella W. Robinson of New York. Both women have won distinction in their chosen line of business and have opened up opportunities for other women in various parts of this country, the West Indies, Bermuda, and Cuba, to enter the business arena. Madam Walker believes in the doctrine of self help, for she has worked her way up from the plantation in the south to a place in the front rank of the race's business women. She is always ready to encourage and assist those of her race who are industrious and who are willing to make a sacrifice of pleasure in order to better their condition. She is actively engaged at the present time in building out of her income a school in Africa. She also gives liberally to the various charitable institutions of Indianapolis and has recently given five scholarships to students at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is president. It is said that the number of women whom Madam Walker has made it possible to engage in businesses of their own is 2,000. She attends a large number of the big conventions held by our people, both religious and secular, and is therefore well known among those who are doing things worth while. POLITICAL LEAGUE ISSUES WARNING TO THE NATION Virile Body of Brave Colored Citizens Denounce National Segregation. The National Independent Political league, which held its seventh annual meeting in New York for three days the early part of September, accomplished margaritoid results. Men prominent in business, church and state took an active part in the proceedings. The sessions were held in the famous Bethel A. M. E. church, of which the Rev. B. W. Arnett is the pastor. Delegates were enrolled representing twelve northern states. The southern states represented were Virginia, Georgia and Louisiana. The address to the country, signed by Byron Gunner, New York, president of the league; J. L. Johnson, Ohio; C. L. Miller, Rhode Island; R. C. Ransom, New York; M. W. Thornton, Thomas Walker, Washington; J. A. Hagan, Connecticut; W. A. Sinclair, Pennsylvania; B. W. Arnott, New York; J. E. Churchman, New Jersey; Josephine E. Holtms, Ga.; Andrew J. Smith, Virginia and G. F. Miller, New York, reads as follows: Let the American people and especially the president, in view of the bloody war of all Europe and the probable grant of freedom to Ireland and suffrage to women, freedom to votes and Finns and relief from segregation and political disabilities for the Jews, induced by the needs of warring nations, remember that 12,600,000 native citizens in this country are worse proscribed than those of Europe. We speak of the White Man to be colored Americans from finow carers, disfranchisement, lynching and segregation, especially under the federal government at the federal capital now rather than await some awful war here. Southern disfranchisement encourages other forms of lawlessness and renders the colored citizen helpless in as cowardly fashion as the lynching which its disrespect for law breeds. Jimcar cars were absurd enough, but residence segregation shows the south knows no limit in prescription if let alone. Segregation of federal employees is the most alarming symptom of the petition presented against President Obama of this league checked it only. We ask President Wilson to entirely remove this nationalizing of estate. We protest against disfranchisement, lynching, sextortion, denial of civil and political rights. We want only the rights all others enjoy, even the foreigner. We shall never cease until all citizens have full equal rights in every state. We advocate enforcement of the constitution, making lynching a federal crime, abolition of legal sextortion, federal aid to educational. This proscription, visited upon no Americans but those of color, is serious and not to be minimized. Colored citizens are warned that they must ever resist it by agitation and organization. Organization of colored persons is the only means to gain rights or retain them if gained. We urge the use of the ballot as the real weapon of self defense, voting independently for our rights and liberties and not for party. Greetings and appreciations are extended to the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People and the Constitution league for aid and thanks given Congressman T. C. Thacher and A. J. Peters of Massachusetts for securing a hearing against segregation and opposing it. Federal segregation as practiced in the departments and encounted in various bills should be made an issue as to supporting candidates for congress, and no doubtful men on these issues should be voted for. Another delegation to see President Wilson on undong federal segregation is advised. Next to segregation, the employment of industry is the most inhuman practice of this country. As an attempt to reduce colored Americans to permanent caste is so powerful acceptance of nonlegal segregation in philanthropic institutions in the north is opposed. Sacred Cantata Given in Pittsburgh. The sacred cantata of "David, the Shepherd Boy." was rendered at the John Wesley Zion church, Pittsburgh, on Tuesday evening, Sept. 22, by a chrush of fifty. The leading characters were impersonated by J. E. Arter as David; J. E. Bone, King Saut; C. A. Howard, Jonathan; Joseph Meetings, Samuel; Pant Blue, Jesse; James F. Hamilton, elder; Mrs. L. Smith, messenger; Mrs. A. L. Anderson, Abagail; Mrs. K. C. Stewart, Mcleah; Reuben French and L. W. McCloy sentinels. An orchestra of six pieces played the score. THE AFRO AMERICAN LEDGER IDEAL CENTER OF EDUCATION HAS COMPETENT FACULTY. Brief Account of Some of the Achievements of President Joseph A. Booker of the Arkansas Baptist College in Little Rock — Successful Educator, Organizer and Leader. Little Rock, Ark. — Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist college in this city, is not only teaching the young men and women of the race the doctrine of self help, but is at the same time getting into their hearts and into their very being the lesson of the survival of the fittest, so that when they leave the school they are prepared to make good in any avenue of industry into which they may enter. Dr. Booker himself is a living example of the doctrine he preaches and teaches, because he started at the bottom floor, so to speak, and worked his way up to the presidency of one of the largest schools conducted by the race in this section of the south and is foremost among the race leaders of the country. He was born during the days of slavery and at the close of the war was of school age, having reached his sixth year. He is a native of Portland, Ark., and was reared on the farm. He learned his "A B C's" in the town of Portland at an early age. Having obtained a good foundation for its education, in 1851 he entered Roger Williams University, Nashville, Tenn., and remained there until he had finished the college course in 1856 and returned to his native state to accept the work of colporteur under the joint appointment of the state Baptist con- M. DR. JOSEPH A. BOOKER. vention and the American Baptist Home Mission society. In this position he made a good record and won many friends. His ability as a leader of men and a great organizer was demonstrated, and he was selected to the presidency of the Arkansas Baptist college. At the time Mr. Booker was elected president of the school it simply existed on paper and required the services of a man to bring it into life. This has been accomplished, because the institution today ranks with the best of the country. During its real life the school has graduated 250 students. There are men and women from the institution making good in and out of the United States. Dr. Booker has dedicated his life to the work of education. His family, consisting of eight children, have been born in and about the college, have received their fundamental training there, and three at least have attended other colleges and universities for special work. In making up the faculty for this year care has been used in selecting some of the best prepared men and women available. They come from some of the best schools in the country. Miss Grace J. Thompson, A. B., a graduate from Shaw university, will be the instructor in Latin; Professor J. F. Jones, A. B., Th. B., of Roger Williams university, Bible and history; Professor M. H. Eldridge, a graduate of the Arkansas Baptist college, will teach Greek and higher mathematics; John A. Hibbler, A. B., is secretary to the president and has charge of the commercial branches. These are but few of the able men and women who will do the work during the year. There is a first class music department connected with the college. At the head of this department is Miss Mattle A. Booker, daughter of the president. Miss Tecumseh Morris of Corsicana, Tex. was admitted to Oberlin college on the recommendation of the Arkansas Baptist college. The following letter was sent to President Booker: "We are in receipt of certificate filed out by you to show Miss Tecumseh Morris' preparation in the Arkansas Baptist college, and I beg to report the acceptance of full rank in the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. There are no entrance deficiencies." Franklin A. Lovejoy is in the University of Chicago. Dr. Booker is assisted in his work by his wife, who is also a graduate from Roger Williams university. She has charge of rhetoric and English literature. --- I wish to announce to the general public that I have taken up the business of my late father and will endeavor to sustain the reputation he bore as an efficient undertaker and Embalmer.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION BALTIMORE, OCT. 4, 1914 The Allies do not seem to care very much about the color of the skin of its soldiers so long as they make good fighting bait. This war after all may bring about some good results along the color line. There is saddled upon some one's shoulders an enormous debt by this European war. It will have to be paid, and in the last analysis the poor man will stand for goodly portion of the burden. Now that we know about how much the drink habit is costing us, perhaps somebody may be induced to cut a little of it down. Putting shingles on another fellow's house may be alright for some people, but in the end it is bad for the one that is doing the shingling. We notice that the School Board is making an effort to increase the salaries of its already very poorly paid school teachers. Hope it will reach the colored teachers as well. The Progressives and the Republicans are making efforts to line up the "Colored Brother" as usual, but neither of them are going about it in the right way. In the meantime the Democrats are saying nothing about the aforesaid "Colored Brother" but extending a quiet invitation to him to come in out of the wet. And what of the "Colored Brother?" He is not doing much talking; probably he is sawing wood, which would be about as well as not. We hope some of us may live enough to see Druid Hill avowed with a modern pavement on modern street cars running on it line. However, we may ex- t to be many years older than are now before these very necessary improvements will take place. We are very glad to see our ud "Booster Knock" on the job in. There are many things toing for his hammer. Weuld be glad also to see our Sport Editor on the job again, as his nation has been a rather extend- CAN WE AEFORD IT? If the allegations which are made in an article found in another column, which was prepared at our special request, are true, then they are, to say the least astounding and the sooner Maryland goes dry the better it will be for our people as well as the community in which we live. Just to think of it, more than a half million dollars a year spent in drink by colored people alone in Baltimore City, to say nothing of the amount spent outside of the city in the counties. A hundred saloons which depend entirely on the trade of colored people and they snending at the rate of over two thousand dollars a day, more than enough to care for all of the churches in the city, and then some left over. At the rate of twenty-one hundred dollars a day colored people could buy two houses a day, pay for them in cash. This is more money than is spent on the education of all the colored children in Baltimore; more money than is spent on shoes for the whole community of colored people, and in all probability more money than is spent in bread. The question arises, can we afford to spend this awful amount of money, or rather can we afford to waste this amount of money as poor as we are and for such small wages as we are compelled to work for? Can we afford to take the bread out of the mouths of our children, the clothes off their backs, the shoes off their feet to waste in this profligate manner? To say the least it is an outrage. This is not all. When we count the waste of time that is spent by hundreds of men loafing around saloons, the loss of time from their work, of those who have work, by reason of drink; when we count up the time that is lost in the Police Stations and the City Jail, as well as the costs paid for disorderly conduct arising out of the drink habit, the amount is in all probability doubled. If this money was put in food, clothing; in purchase of houses, in churches, in education, in business, what a tremendous force we would be in the community. It is time for the forces that believe in helping to change these conditions, to get real busy, and help the good old commonwealth of Maryland to do what Virginia has done, "Go Dry." THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CELEBRATION The public parade in this city Tuesday in connection with the annual meeting of the American Federation of Catholic Societies, which assembled here, was most imposing and extremely interesting. Our Roman Catholic brethren are to be warmly congratulated upon the perfect success of the affair. There are two points in connection with the celebration well worthy of a special word. In the first place, it is a pleasure to record the entire absence of anything like the "jim crow" with respect to the position and place assigned colored Roman Catholics in that imposing procession. The colored societies were scattered all through that extremely long procession. In one or two of the visiting societies it was a pleasure to notice a number of colored members, although the great bodies of such societies were white. This phase of the matter speaks well for the Roman Catholic Church, and it will unquestionably produce a good effect. However, it is to be sincerely regretted that there were no colored priests to be seen marching in the front of the parishes of which they were the rectors. This was so because, with the exception of four or five colored priests in the entire country, the colored parishes are presided over by white priests. Not only is this unfortunate, but it is hard to understand the scarcity of colored priests, in the light of the well known strength and power of the church. Believing in education, eschewing race prejudice, holding a grip upon its membership which no other religious body possesses, it is so much the more difficult to explain why there are such few colored priests among such a large Roman Catholic population in the country. The Roman Catholic priests, as a body, are not more learned than the ministers of other religious organizations. In all such religious bodies colored man have fully sustained the capacity of the race to receive all that other races receive. It is a fact that simply cannot be denied that in proportion as colored people rise in education and culture, they demand clergy of their own race. Any exceptions which may be cited but establish the universality of the rule. We are friendly towards the Roman Catholic Church, but as ancient as it is, it can only hope to get a firm grip on THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER the colored race through a race cost of drink for the colo ple in the city, or $636,80 ministry. The other point is of a different order. Even the a�ent and honorable society, known as the Ma-sonic fraternity can teach that great and venerable Christian church a most practical lesson in Christian love. We were much struck when told that the Masonic fraternity permitted their beautiful and attractive decorations in the front of their temple, used in connection with the Star Spangled Banner celebration, to stand for the benefit and ornament of their Roman Catholic brethren. This act is indeed, most gracious and touchin, especially when it is generally known that the Roman Catholic Church and the Masonic fraternity are not in affectionate embrace. We doubt whether the Church would have left their decorations in honor of the Masonic fraternity. And, yet, we fail to see how either side would compromise principle by such a gracious act of Christian courtesy. Here is an organization older than the Christian Church, and which some people claim is antagonistic to the Christian Church, by a simple and beautiful act interpreting the fundamental law in the whole Christian system. The Master himself said "By this (love one another) shall all men know that ye are my disciples." And this is the principle by which Christian unity will finally be brought about. It is the principle of love working from within outward. Such a generous and kind act did not imply any indorsement of the Roman Catholic Church; neither would any similar courtesy upon the part of the Church, imply any indorsement of the Masonic fraternity. But such an act, unquestionably implies "peace on earth and good will to men." Stick firmly to principle, but let us uproot selfishness and ignorance, wherever they appear. Love in action loses none of its inherent beauty and power, though issuing from th men associated with the dreadful emblems of cross-bones and skull. What Colored Men Spend For "Booze" Mr. J. H. Murphy. Editor-Publisher Afro-American Ledger Dear Sir:— Responding to your inquiry as to the probable cost of drink in a year, to the colored people of this city, I will say that it is difficult to get at it in figures so as to be perfectly accurate, but we have information that approximates so nearly that one runs no risk to rely upon it. Our information is based upon personal investigations, made as follows: Here is a given case: Upon a mid-week afternoon, between the hours of 4 and 6; over the territory lying between St. Marys and George streets on the South; Myrtle avenue to Riggs and Mount, Presbury on the West; Presbury and Baker to Druid Hill on the North and Druid Hill to St. Mary, including Smith's Hotel on the East; we have personal knowledge of 65 liquor places, all catering to colored trade almost exclusively. On the said afternoon, there was an average of seven men on the inside of these places. These men in all probability, had not been to work that half-day. If they had made a half-day at seventy-five cents each, they would have earned $341.25. Instead, these 455 men, in the two hours, spent on an average of at least ten cents, or $45.50. Upon another night between the hours of 8 and 10, in these same saloons, the average number of men had doubled, and the drinking, including the pails, etc., was threefold, for these are the hours when drinking is heavy among our people. So that the 65 saloons had in them 870 men, spending on an average of 80 cents, or $261.00 for the two hours. Now then, with the two hours in which drinking is lighter yielding $45.00 and the hours when people drink the most yieldin $261, we have an average for every two hours of the day for the 65 saloons, which is $153.25. The saloons run eighteen hours per day, therefore by one-half the time or nine hours we get the earnings per day of each saloon of the 65 in question, which is $21.21. There are no less than one hundred saloons in this city, which depend upon colored people absolutely for trade. Thus each day, our people put in at the very least figure $2,121 in drink. Leaving out election days and Sundays, we count on a year of three hundred days and we have the minimum of drink for the colored people in the city, or $636,300—nearly three-quarters of a million dollars. Can we afford it? You are at liberty to print this statement over my signature. Respectfully yours, D. DeWITT TURPEAU The regular monthly meeting of the officers and teachers of Payne Memorial A. M. E. Sunday School was held at the parsonage on Tuesday evening September 29, at which time the annual election was held. The following persons were elected as officers and teachers for the ensuing year. Superintendent, James E. Neal; secretary, Mrs. Lillian Blunt; assistant secretary, Miss Beatrice Gamble; treasurer, Mrs. Annie Sanders; librarian, Harry Peters; assistant librarian, Harry Brooks; pianist, Mrs. Alma Thomas; chorister, John W. Pembleton; assistant pianist, Miss Adah L. Killion; assistant chorister, Robert Daniels. Primary Department: superintendent, Hattie McNeil; Emma Seymore, Nehemiah Haughton, Teachers: Mrs. Mary F.

THE WAY THEY DO IT IN GEORGIA Atlanta, Ga., October 2.—All Atlanta is talking about one colored man being sent to the chain gang for alleged burglary, when the man accused and who bore the same name, was in court awaiting trial. Will Russell was the man accused and another Will Russell happened to be in the courtroom at the same time. When the case was called the second Will Russell was ushered before the bar. He protested his innocence, but policemen and others swore that he was the man. His conviction and sentence of two years followed. The attorney for the other Russell did not seem to realize the mistake. On the way to the chain-gang the wrong Mr. Russell told the sheriff of his plight, and the latter becoming convinced that the story was true brought the matter to the attention of the authorities. PROF. EVANS ASSUMES NEW DUTIES Talladega, Ala., October 1.—Edward Evans, Jr., newly-elected instructor of mathematics at Talladega College, and his bride arrived here Monday from New York, where they were married last Friday. The bride was Miss Florida Lewis, of Washington, and the courtship began when Mr. Evans was a student at Howard University, that city. The groom was educated also at the A. & M. College, Greensboro, N. C., and Columbia University, New York, where he pursued graduate work last year. He is the eldest son of the principal of the grammar school at Fayettville, N. C. TRIBUNE AROUSES IRE OF BAPTIST MINISTERS Philadelphia, October 2—Baptist ministers and laymen are highly incensed over an article that appeared in the Tribune attacking the moral conduct of some who were supposed to be here attending the recent session of the National Baptist Convention. The allegations made would cause summary unrocking of any minister. The Baptist ministers at a meeting roundly denounced the Tribune for publishing the article. The Baptist Review makes the following defense: "The writer of that article must not have known that all the strangers in the city during the week of the convention were not ministers, and many were not even delegates. Did it ever occur to the writer that many of those who wore badges were not ministers? Like any other great body the fakir and the impostor follow in the wake. It is a known fact that many of our people who are not even members of any church take advantage of the cheap rates to visit cities where the convention holds its annual sessions." PROF. PICKENS ACCEPTS NEW POSITION Marshall, Tex. Oct. 1. — Prof. William Pickens, who has had a charge of the department of ancient languages since his graduation from Yale University, has accepted a similar position at Wiley University, an institution controlled by the M.E. Church. Prof. Pickens is widely known as a publicist and has traveled extensively. REGISTER !! NEXT TUESDAY [Portrait of a man in a suit and tie]. JOHN W. RICH GIVIC LEAGUE STARTS CRUSADE Would Better Living Conditions Among Poorer Classes Of Colored People. The Negro Civic League which was organized last June has begun a crusade all over the city having to do with sanitary,moral and civic conditions which now exist in certain parts of the city inhabited by colored people. The City Engineer and Paving Commission will be appealed to with a view to putting smooth pavements in a number of the small streets and alleys in all parts of the city, thereby eliminating a source of filth in the streets. The colored ministry is to be appealed to for the purpose of urging them to pay more attention to the living conditions of the people occupying dwellings in small streets. In addition to stirring up civic pride among the masses of the colored people, their citizenship is not to be overlooked by this organization because they have issued an appeal to all colored citizens, irrespective of their political affiliation, to see that their names are placed on the registration books during the next three days of registration. Mr. John W. Rich, chairman of the Association said that the better thinking colored people felt very much humiliated at the statement that has been made by some of their white friends to the effect that the small registration of colored men is due to the fact that a large number of them have criminal records and are thereby afraid to attempt to register. Since his statement is untrue a strenuous effort is being made to bring up the registration of colored voters to what it was about ten years ago. A number of the best colored men in Baltimore are members of this organization and they hold monthly meetings at the Afro-American Hall, Eutaw street and Druid Hill avenue. The officers are: John W. Rich, Chairman; Daniel W. Richardson, Vice-Chairman; Jeremiah Stafford, Secretary, and Alexander Williams, Treasurer. ASSOCIATION OF CHURCH WORKERS MEET New York, October 1—The thirteenth annual conference of Church Workers Among Colored People will begin at St. Phillips's P. E. Church, 133rd street, near Lennox avenue, next Tuesday evening and continue until Friday night. Among those on the program are: Bishop David H. Greer and Rev. Henry Baird Delaney, of North Carolina, who will speak at the opening session; Rev. George Frazier Miller, who will preach the annual sermon; Miss Julia Emery, Miss S. C. Johnson, who will give outlines of the work being done by the Woman's Auxiliary; Mrs. J. Edward Rollins, who will read a paper giving some of the early history and fields efforts of the Episcopal Church among colored people; Rev. George M. Plaskett, Dr. Owen M. Waljer and Rev. Franklin Bennett, who will discuss the boy problem; Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, who will give a recapitulation of his history of the church where the conference is being held and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis. The present officers of the conference are: Rev.Henry Baird Delaney, North Carolina, president; Rev. Walter D. McCane, Cambridge, Mass., vice president; Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., Baltimore, secretary; Rev. James K. Satterwhite, Raleigh, N. C., assistant secretary; Archie S. Nicholson, Philadelphia, and Rev. Emmett J. Miller, Petersburg, Va., necrologist. SEGREGATION LAW TO BE TESTED A mass meeting to raise funds to test the validity of the Curtis Segregation Law will be held at Grace Presbyterian Church, Dolphin and Etting streets, Monday night. The meeting will be a sequel to the one held at Sharp Street Memorial Church Wednesday afternoon at which nearly $20 was collected in cash and a number of subscriptions pledged toward securing of competent counsel. Recently a Hebrew has moved into the Store and dwelling at 1929 Etting street, a block which has no other white residents. As the moving in of the white man into a colored block does not seem to the police as grave an offense as a colored man moving into a white block, no arrests have been made. A number of prominent colored residents are disposed to force issue in the matter and the Grand Jury's attention may be called thereto. Should that body make a presentation, then the matter will be threshed out in the lower and higher courts. It is said that the sponsors of segregation are not in the least desirous of a test case to be made, fearing that the present law will meet the fate of its immediate predecessor. Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, superintendent of the Washington M. E. District, owns the Etting street property. COLORED CATHOLICS MAKE FINE APPEARANCE Representatives from colored Catholic churches made a fine appearance in the parade that was given by the American Federation of Catholic Societies, Tuesday. As the colored contingent passed before the Cardinal it was given a big ovation. St. Barnabas Catholic Church had 200 men in line, and St. Peter Claver's delegation was in charge of C. Marcellus Dorsey and St. Francis and St. Monica's Churches, this city, as well as St. Cyprian's and St. Augustine Parishes, Washington, had large delegations. There was a scattering of delegations from other parishes. Messrs. Dorsay, Gladden and J. Wade, the latter representing St. Francis Church, were the local colored delegates to the convention, which came to a close Wednesday. MISS THOMAS' STUDIO The Piano and Vocal Studio, 2111 Druid Hill avenue, Miss Eslanda V. Thomas, instructor, formally opened Tuesday, September 29. The studio was beautifully decorated with flowers and plants. Congratulations were extended Miss Thomas on every hand upon her skill and accomplishment in music. A number of persons from beginners to those advanced in music were present and registered so as to get the benefit of the special training of Miss Thomas, who is a graduate of Ithaca Conservatory of Music, Ithaca, New York, which is one of the leading conservatories in America. We are proud of such a contribution to our musical talent in this city. Miss Thomas will use the very latest methods of instruction in sight reading of music, voice culture, and pianoforte. She will make a specialty of training beginners and others in sight reading, and voice culture. She will give credit or certificates to her advanced, piano students. Miss Thomas gave up her position as music instructor in Central Alabama College, Birmingham, Ala., to the sincere regret of President A. P. Camphor, in order that she might be home with her mother being alone so much on account of the work of her father, Dr. I. L. Thomas, requiring him to be away most of the time. Parents planning to have their children begin music would do well to confer with Miss Thomas. Her terms are reasonable when you consider the expense for her preparation, and furthermore, that she graduated with high honors being the only colored person in her class. Those who are musically inclined and contemplate instruction in the near future, should take advantage of this rare opportunity without delay. Begin at once. Come to the studio or call Madison 2937.

When the distant horizon is brilliantly illuminated with flashes of light on warm summer evenings old residents will explain that it is caused by "heat lightning." Heat lightning is really the reflection of ordinary lightning. Afar off there is a thunderstorm. Light travels at something more than 186,000 miles a second, while thunder travels slowly through the air and soon becomes inaudible to our ears. It is this light reflected upon the clouds or mist near the horizon which we see and call heat lightning. Sometimes vivid displays of northern lights, or the aurora borealis, are erroneously called heat lightning. There is, therefore, no such thing as heat lightning, and this should properly be called "distant" lightning.—New York World. ANNAPOLIS JOTTINGS Annapolis, Md., October 2. Mrs. L.

MIDNIGHT TRAVELS FAST Maysville, Ky.—As I told you in my last letter that I would be away from Baltimore when I wrote to you the next time, and I am away, and I will be away even more than this when you get the next letter from me. This is a moving world and I am one of the most movingest men in it. Some people think that I had on my fussing cap when I wrote my letter last week. but I was in real good humor. I had been with some big men, and I had touched them time and time again, and I was delighted with the result. Way up in Boston associating with Rev. M. W. Thornton, and then meeting a man like Hon. E. H. Morris, one of the finest presiding officers I have ever seen since I have been in the world, and coming in touch with others. All of this made me feel good, in fact it made me feel like shouting. If I could just handle men like E. H. Morris and preside like him. I would be Grand Master of America myself, and then I would just make the order grow so that they would keep me there. He is without a doubt the shrewdest man in that big order, and he knows how to hande it. As I told you, I did not remain in Boston all the time, but found my way to Philadelphia, and met the ministers of the Baptist Church and the ministers of the A. M. E. Church, and then spent a night with a friend of mine. Secretary Porter, of the Y. M. C. A., told me to be at home with him any time I was in Philadelphia and that there would always be a room for me, and I think I will go to it. While in Philadelphia I had the pleasure of meeting President John Hope, of Morehouse College. This is one of our greatest young college presidents. He was up from Atlanta, Ga, taking hold of affairs, and he has made some great friends in his work and is still making more. To see President Hope you see a real man, a clean man, and the same can be said about Secretary Porter. I like to come in touch with these men. God has given to us some strong men, and I am glad that I lived in this age. Rev. W. H. Jernagin got me in his carriage that he goes around in without a horse and toted me around over the city, up to Howard University, and the Normal Training Schools, for teaching or something like that, and then I spent a little time with Mr. and Mrs. R T. Nelson. I went to get me a bed car over the C. & O., but was informed that all were sold, so I just went to Dr. Watson's office and while he was out on conferences, yet his clerk telephoned for me and then told me that they had reserved lower 11 in car 10, and Mr. Nelson went down and got the reservation for me, and that night at 11 o'clock I was headed for Clifton Forge, and one of the most sleepingest men in the thing. Mr. Nelson is to be in Howard University this year and is to fit himself for a real doctor, and will continue to hold his place in the department until he shall have finished. Then he is going out in the world to look after the sick, and in this work I think he is going to make a success. His wife is one of the leading women in this country in the hair business. At the rate she is going she will soon have a business equal to that of Madam Walker, of Indianapolis. I did not tell you about going to Baltimore, but I was there when I wrote my last letter and I had a few things to say to the people. I spent a night in town at the Smith's Hotel. I tell you it is a busy hotel. The next morning I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. D. N. E. Campbell, the author of "The X-Ray of Life." He called and totted me to the stable. I shall have more to say about him in another letter, and his book. Now I am in this place, but I stepped at Clifton Forge, with Rev. T. H. White, Corresponding Secretary of the Virginia Baptist State Convention, and had a delightful time with him. I spent the night at this place. teaching here I went to the home Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Taylor, W. Fourth street. You see I saw the people of Mr. Taylor's in Texas, and he has told me I was always welcome to his e and this is backed up by his. He is a busy man, and they a nice home. Mrs. Taylor is member of the Bell family. Her mother, Mrs. Fannie Bell, is pastry cook at the Central Hotel. She has been there for years and is considered an expert in her line. [I am here in the midst of a big wet and dry fight and I am to speak Sunday. I will not say more at this time, but will talk to you in another letter. Look out for me. NEWS HERE AND THERE. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has sent queries to each Congressional aspirant asking views on anti-race measures pending before Congress. The Association will urge the defeat of those favorable to such legislation. The funeral of Dr. William R. Pettiford, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, Birmingham, was one of the largest ever held in that city. A commercial department has been established at Roger Williams University, Nashville. Samuel Wilson, a barber, was the first colored man in Houston, Texas, to join the buy-a-bale-of-cotton movement. According to the St. Louis Central Afro-American, W. Melvin Hutton, publisher of the Chicago Leader, also publishes the East Louis Blade and the Peoria Independent and is also negotiating for another newspaper in Rock Island, Ill. The official board of the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, N. J., has over-ruled the action of the pastor, Rev. C. P. Coles, who refused to reinstate, Wayman D. P. Wilson, an expelled member. According to current rumor, white waiters at Kernan's Hotel may soon give way to colored ones. A few months ago, colored waiters were displaced by whites, and their service is said to have been unsatisfactory. George Augustus formerly headwaiter at the hostelry is mentioned in connection with his old position. ONE EFFECT OF THE EUROPEAN WAR. The awful carnage now going on in Europe is bound to be felt in one way or the other the wide world over. With thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of men killed in battle, millions of women and children will find themselves without support or occupation. The curse and blight of war will wipe out industries of all kinds, and there will be an overwhelming desire to flee from the stricken land. It is but natural that their eyes should turn this way and feet bring them to this country—the emigrant's refuge. Already a plea is being made that there should be a change in the immigration laws so that these refugees from Europe may more easily enter the United Sates. What will their coming mean to us? Simply less employment, that is all. Hence it behooves us to think now, and to act so as to show thought and good judgment. Daily the Negro wherever employed is being more and more unwelcome. Loss of employment hangs over him like a great black cloud. We must have food, a place to sleep and something to wear; and yet there are those who would deny us these and drive us out to starve and die. We will not stand together and create business and employ ourselves. We will not spend our moneys, one with the other. We will not combine our means. We stand aloof, we pull apart, maintaining a few societies, but positively refuse to create and encourage business, whereby we may employ ourselves. But of this we may rest assured. When peace comes in Europe, there will be a rush of emigrants to this country—men, women and children, and their coming will mean that much less employment for our men women and children. It will pay to give this matter serious ought. It will pay those who have decent employment and living wages to show their full appreciation of the same by rendering cheerful, intelligent and praiseworthy services, so that their good work may make them indispensable to their employers. —St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Va.

The various speakers included Thomas P. Kelson, George I. Simms. RACE PREJUDICE NORTH: Roscoe C. Giles Barred From Course New York Medical Institution In New York Medical Institution New York. Another case of diagran and unwarranted race prejudice has come to the fore in this city. Roscoe C. Giles of Brooklyn, a Cornell graduate and a student of medicine at the Manhattan Maternity hospital and dispensary, has been requested by the directors of the institution to resign from the course of instruction for which he contracted and paid for. Young Giles, who is twenty-four years old and has an excellent record in the Boys' High school, Brooklyn, and Cornell university, is said to be at the head of his class in Cornell Medical school and will receive his degree in 1915, provided he completes his course, one of the requisites for the completion being the care of six maternity cases. It was for this purpose that he be registered as a student in the Manhattan Maternity Hospital and Dispensary. He paid the tuition fee, received his instruments and went daily to the institution, but was not assigned to any case. He complained to the medical board of the hospital, but was not definitely informed until Saturday, Sept. 10, that he would be requested to withdraw. The request came in the form of a copy of the letter sent to Dr. Richard Aurel Brown, secretary of the medical board, by Lewis Islin, secretary of the board of directors. It is as follows: Dr. R. E. Brown, Secretary Medical Board: Dear Sir-At a meeting of the board of dearmen the following resolution was proposed: Resolved, that the action of the medical board in requesting Dr. Roscoe C. Giles withdrew from his position, and apologized for it, which he returned to him. LEVIS ISELIN, LEVIS ISELIN, Secretary Board of Directors, Maternity Hospital and Dispensary. The only explanation of the action that could be obtained by the young man, and even that was of an unofficial nature, was that his white associates objected to him. One of the young man's associates is his classmate, a young man named Buchstein, who has been a frequent caller at Glies' home and often has dined there, so it is said. The Manhattan Maternity Hospital and Dispensary is an institution chartered by the state of New York and is supported by private contributions. Many prominent New Yorkers were among the original incorporators, including Cornellus Vanderbilt, Frank L Polk and Moses Taylor. The young man's father, who is an attorney, refused to say what action he would take in the matter, although he proposes to fight "to the bitter end." He claims that the institution has made itself liable to a suit for damages. The National Association For the Improvement of Colored People has interested itself in the case and will conduct an investigation and advise regarding action to be taken. Congressman Metz of Brooklyn, who is interested in young Giles and assisted him in obtaining his education, wrote to the institution in regard to the matter, but without result. Virginia Dare. The first white child born on the American continent was Virginia Dare. She was born on Ronnoke island in 1587. She was the grandchild of Governor John White.

Bible LIFE STRUCCLES AT MOUND BAYOU COURAGE OF CHARLES BANKS Municipality Founded by Isaiah T. Montgomery and Inhabited Solely by Afro-Americans Experiences Severe Blow to Its Business Enterprises. Many Financial Difficulties. Mound Bayou, Miss.—If one should come to Mound Bayou, the queen city of Negro progress, in high expectation of finding sorrow or tears or bitter words for such well days that have come and gone one would find "mone sich." But one would find hope, and plenty of it: heart, and to spare; money to move the crops, and everybody these up with the allies against the toasting Him. Also Charles Banks would be found at home sincerely set in the esteem of the community, and Isaiah T. Montgomery, whose statues manlyly planned this fascinating retreat, still tilt of optimism and philosophy, budding hearts to be of good cheer. Of all Mississippi towns Mound Bayou is happiest. Here the word is that the enemy striking at the Negro necessarily strikes at Mound Bayou first. When the Bank of Mound Bayou of which Charles Banks was cashier and founder, after eleven years of triumph, weathering every financial storm, was closed by the lawing commissioner on Aug. 10 for liquidation, the papers made something out of it, but not much. The citizens of Mound Bayou made nothing of it, for the bank had built the town, invited the wonderful industrial development of the community, saved to the black owners the fertile lans and added an average of 20,000 and had been the accommodating fiscal agent of the believers who came from every direction to help in the triumph of the great black city against scourers and soffers all around. The people understood. A week later, when the insurance commissioner appointed a receiver for the Masone Benefit association, the pioneer Negro insurance company, of which Charles Banks was secretary and treasurer, the daily papers, following "information handed them by fraternal politicians," pointed many rumors calculated to lead toward unfairly judging Mr. Banks, but the people of Mound Bayou and all the people of Bolivar county were not disturbed. Mound Bayou knew that blow was not aimed at either Banks or Banks' town, but rather at the Negro fraternities of Mississippi—the mobilizing centers of all Negro efforts. Lord have mercy on the mindmost! The Bank of Mound Bayou was closed during Mr. Banks' absence. The examiner announced that there were no irregularities in the management of the institution, but that he was not satisfied with the character of the securities representing the bank's collateral. He held that the securities were Negro securities, representing Negro industry and Negro enterprises and for the most part covering the progress of the Negro town, and that when they were realized upon they would be covered by Negro money. Therefore for his purposes and according to his rule they were not worth while. Since beyond the banking department of the state of Mississippi there is no appeal and since the examiner exercises rights no man can dispute, there was no course open save to let the examiner have his way. Good luck to him on his travels! The examiner found $40,000 in deposits and $9,000 in cash, every dime in its place in the figures, every dollar on the books and every cent belonging to Negroes. Many a bank lives on and breathes easily in the certain security of that kind of margin. But they are not in Negro towns, nor do their cashiers fill such big places in the affairs of the state. The Masonic Benefit association was for many years the heart and pride of the Mississippi Negroes. It has been the widow's fortress and the orphan's retreat. Upon the death of Bishop Lampont, the greatest of all masters in his day, the association was placed in the hands of Charles Banks. Banks thought he knew his people; he was certain of his ground. After the affairs of the association had been placed in his keeping he found that he had taken over an indebtedness of $250,000. For three years he struggled against tremendous odds, and only when a whole sea of trouble arose to engulf him was he willing to surrender the Masonic Benefit association into the hands of a white receiver, and yet before the fatal day Banks had paid out nearly $300,000 to the widows and orphans and cut the indebtedness from $250,000 to less than $100,000. He was the only man in Mississippi who could have done that. Master Masons knew it. The new law in the state of Mississippi dealing with the operation of judgments was too much for the Marionic Benefit association. Banks found it impossible to meet the judgments and pay all new claims on assessments collected, and the end came. He had postponed it four years. In due time there will be another bank in Mound Bayou. Already the people are asking Banks to build a new one on the glo- thousands of the old one. The Bank of Mound Bayou is but one among more than 100 in the state of Mississippi that have fallen before the new banking law, and the Bank of Mound Bayou more nearly stood the test of the law than any that fell, and even successful bankers doubt that it should have fallen at all. There will be another Masonic benefit association in the state. The name, of course, will be changed and rules and regulations necessarily altered, but the Musons will care for the wives and children of those fallen on the walls. Charles Banks will lend it the force of his amazing resourcefulness. The Musons will call him to the place he long held against the common foe because of all black men he is the most capable for the task. Upon winding up the affairs of the M. B. A. the receiver, Hon. S. D. McNair, made a speech to the force. He said he found not even the slightest irregularity in the accounts or management of the office, and the office handled approximately $150,000 a year. Mr. Banks, he declared, had done better under the circumstances than anybody else had done and ought to be praised and not blamed. It was Banks who built the $100,000 oil mill. It was Banks who made the $10,000 ice plant a fact. His genius formed the great merchantile company here, in which he is the largest stockholder. The bottling works and steam laundry are children of his brain, and the beautiful Carnegie library that decorates the town is the result of his sleepless activity. As he has brought triumphs, so he has become the bearer of all the burdens. Critics and fault finders aim their arrows at his head. The mistakes of the community are laid at his door, and the shortcomings of others are adjudged to his great responsibility. Howbeit, he is a big man, wears a smile as deep as the Mississippi river and hates dodging. He knows how to make his medicine. PREPARED FOR BUSINESS. Important Work of A. T. Glover in the Banking Line. Muskogee, Ohio. The race is making rapid progress in this section of the country. This is being shown from time to time by the men who are making good and who are placing positions of honor and trust in this class belongs A. T. Glover who finds a unique position in the business. He of this city. He was born in Wilmington, Kann. Dec. 7, 1850. He received a curry school [Picture of a man in a suit]. training through the public schools of his native city. His progress in school was very rapid. With a desire to be self supporting, when sixteen years of age he accepted a position in the National Bank of Commerce in his home town as messenger boy on a salary of $8 a month. It was not so much the salary as it was his desire to learn something about the banking business, if given a fair chance. Realizing in part his splendid opportunity, no attention was given to the mender pay, but he worked hard every day and was always on time. He did not idle away his time in invading what the boys called "a good time," but took his rest at night and gave full satisfaction to his employer. The result of this faithfulness was that at the end of two years his salary had been raised and his responsibilities correspondingly increased. He advanced from messenger to individual bookkeeper, and at the same time he assisted in various other kinds of clerical work, including meeting with the clearing house force each day and making reports to R. G. Dun & Co. and Brad street's Mercantile agency. After several years' work on individual ledgers Mr. Glover was made reconciling and statement clerk and held this position until August, 1912, when he resigned his position and took up work with a large advertising house at Louisville, Ky., and remained with the company one year. As there is always a demand for a competent man in business, it is not surprising that young Glover was placed in charge of the affairs of the People's Bank and Trust company at Muskogee, Okla. In this position he made many friends and rendered excellent service. He was in a position where his real work and worth could be observed, especially by those in charge of the Oklahoma banking department. When the bank closed Glover was retained to assist in checking various accounts which amounted to about $0,000. The assays were given to him for collection, and in this position he worked bird every day. He is well posted in the banking business and is a credit to the race. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SUNDAY SCHOOL. Text of the Lesson, Mark xiv, 1-11. Memory Verses, 8, 9—Golden Text, Mark xiv, 8—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This lesson consists of two parts, the anointing at Bethany and the agreement of Judas Iscariot with the chief priests to bury Him. The anointing is recorded by Matthew, Mark and John; the mention of the passover and of the sin of Judas by Matthew, Mark and Luke. According to Matt. xxv1, 1, 2, it was after Jesus had finished the sayings of chapters xxiv and xxv and two days before the passover that He spoke of His approaching betrayal and crucifixion, and we would conclude from Matthew and Mark that the supper and anointing took place at that time. From the account in John xii it would seem that it was six days before the passover and preceding the so-called triumphal entry that they had the supper and anointing. It seems impossible to arrange clearly sometimes the sequence of all the events in our Lord's life, but the gospel were written that we might know Himself rather than the order of events in His life. It is to some confusing that, while Luke does not record this anointing, he does mention an anointing in chapter vii. 320b, which was also in the house of a man called Simon. But that was an altogether different event, much earlier in his ministry and by a woman whose name is not given, whose sins He forgave. The event of our lesson was in the home of Martina and Mary in 16th-century, whose brother, Lazarus, had been raised from the dead (died Mk. 1. 2). Matthew and Mark say that it was in the house of Simon the helper, but what relation he was to Martina and Mary we are not told and therefore do not need to know. If we think of it, and it seems to do so, we can ask them when we see them. John says that Lazarus sat at the table with him. What a suggestive saying? The man who had been four days in the spirit world back on earth alive and well—a man whom the chief priest consulted to put to death because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus (died Mk. 9. 11). At this superior Martina served, but there is no record of her being cumbered as in Luke x. 40, so we may hope that she had grown spiritually since that incident. In view of such words as Phil. iv. 6. 7; I Pet. v. 7, we should never be cumbered or anxious. The words "They made him a super" make us think of His post ascension words in Rev. iii. 20, and of the blessed assurance that if any one will open the door He will come in and sup with them. As He sat at meat Mary came with an alabaster box containing a pound of ointment of spokemard, very costly, and she broke the box and poured it on His head and mounted His feet and wiped His feet with her hair twice in Matt. xvi. 7; John xii. 36. Not only was the house filled with the odor of the ointment, but also the whole world, for He said in verse 9 that wherever in all the world the gospel should be preached, this that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. This was real worship on the part of Mary, heart adoration, and it was very costly on her part and very precious to His heart. We are reminded of a saying of David in H Sam. xiv, 24. "Neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost my nothing." Some one has said that in Martha, Mary and Lazarus we have a sample of a well rounded Christian life—in Martha restful service, in Mary real worship and in Lazarus the power of a risen life. There will always be some indignant ones when more than ordinary (which is ordinarily very little), is given to Him. It will be called a waste and by other names, while all spent upon ourselves will seem all right. Judas Iscariot is called a thief in John xi. 6, but what about the thieves of Mal. III. 8? If His love to us does not constrain us to spend more for Him than on ourselves then it is evident that we love ourselves most. How comforting His word "Let her alone, * * * she hath wrought a good work on me" (verse 6). Would that some other faultfinding meddlers might hear His "Let alone". If we are sure that we are doing all "Uno Him" we may be confident of His approval whatever others may say. His other word "She hath done what she could" (verse 5). We may not be so sure of, for of how few can it be said that we have done all that we could. He is the judge and will surely give all possible credit that He can. He said that she amoured His body beforehand for burrying, and I believe that was her purpose, that she so intended it, for it was her custom, when she could to sit at His feet and hear His word. She was found with the other women who light spices to amount His dead l. and never used them for that purpose. She seemed to understand about His cruel death at the hand of His enemies and that she could not minister to Him then, so having made her preparation, she watched for her opportunity, and He arranged it for her, for he read her heart. How awful the contrast between the heart of Judas Iscariot and this devoted heart that loved Him so! Ray Stannard Baker's Plea For Human Brotherhood. Ray Stannard Baker in a recent issue of the American Magazine has the following to say about prejudice of one race against another: "Why will men not see that there can be no true civilization while any men in the world are left out of it and that no race and no nation can go far forward while other races and nations lag behind? "Let the white person again tread the black person under his heel. (Say, which is trodden under heel after all?) "It is not enough that we give the alien nations our learning, our religion, our science. What signify all these things? Are we hurt by giving them? Are we not, on the contrary, the material gainers? No; we must be prepared to go further than that, else we have not learned the fundamental concept of religion. "It is not the great task of any nation that it shall remain pure or white or learned or that it shall assure to its posterity the possession of land and comfort, though this has been the belief and the doom of every aristocracy from the beginning of time. The great task of every advanced race or nation is to bring more love, more light, into the world. "A stand for racial aristocracy means war, hatred, barren exclusiveness and finally degeneration and failure; a stand for racial democracy and brotherhood means love in the world, friendliness, sacrifice, new fertility, a wider sweep for faith and final triumph. Individuals may suffer in the process, nations may perish, but civilization, the kingdom of humanity, will grow, will become more beautiful. "We are willing to do everything for Chihuahua or Lindus or for our own poor, except the one essential thing. Yes, educate them in little; yes, teach them the religion of resignation; yes, give them shoes and coats, but do not disturb us in our luxury. "It won't work; it won't work. So long as we refuse to give ourselves we have failed utterly." Phone Madison 381S-M WILLIAM J.

Murff before an audience composed wholly of women at Macedonia Baptist Church, Wednesday evening. Mrs. Murff's husband has charge of the South African work of the National Baptist Convention. She spoke of the difficulty in some quarters that American missionaries have in getting permission to open missions. Speaking of the native men and women she declared that their standards of morality was much higher than the people of civilized countries. Offenses against morals that would be winked at in this country she said,would be punished by death there. She closed by making a plea for missions and education.
