HEAFFI AMERICAN LEDGER --- VOL. XXIII. NO.23 CANNOT ENFORCE SUSPENSION Judge Brashears Issues Injuction Against Maryland Grand Lodge of Masons GRAND MASTER EVANS SCORED Said to Have Delivered a "Wild, Bitter and Rancorous Speech" Annapolis, Md., January 28.—By the order of Judge Brashears, of the Circuit Court of Anne Arundel the Most Worshipful GrandLodge of Masons, Joseph P. Evans, grand master of the same and Universal Lodge of Masons, of this city; have been restrained from enforcing the suspension for a period of six months of Daniel Brown. J. Albert Adams, Wiley H. Bates, William E. Hebron, James E. Howard, Noble Warren, William T. Ford William E. Parker, William Brashears, Charles Blackston, R. F. D. Carver, William Bulay, John W. Boston and John W. Makel. Hawkins and McMechen, of Baltimore, attorneys for the defendants, may note an appeal. --- The suspension of the plaintiffs grew out of injunction proceedings instituted last April, by Henry Valentine, at that time worshipful master of the lodgee, restraining Grand Master Evans and Universal Lodge from interfering with him in the discharge of his duties as presiding officer of the lodge. The plaintiff in the case just decided by Judge Brashears were cited to appear as witnesses. Their suspension followed at the meeting of the grand lodge in Hagerstown last August. Warner T. McGuinn, of Baltimore, and William H. Howard, of this city, in their bill of complaint, assured that the plaintiffs were not notified of any charges that had be a preferred against them, and all did not attend the session at Hagerstown. Those who did, however, found out when they reached those that Grand Master Evans and others were disposed to try them for revealing the secrets of Masonry by testifying in court, and that a trial commission appointed at such session forthwith suspended them. The recommendation of the commission, according to plaintiffs, amounted to a virtual expulsion, as a unanimous vote for their reinstatement in Universal Lodge was required. The petitioners claimed that Mr. Evans used his presence voice and influence with the commission to make it decide in favor of the suspensions. It was also alleged that Grand Master Evans, in support of the finding of the commission, "for fully three-fourths of an hour, in a wild, bitter and rancorous speech, demanded that the report of the commission be adopted." The plaintiffs note that the fact the Grand Lodge is the court of last resort for them in the Order and that legal proceedings were necessary to get them back into regular standing. The case, which was argued on January 2, and decided a fe n days ago, has attracted general interest in Masonic circles, and there has been a sharp division of opinion regarding the justice of the suspensions. PHEPARING FOR CONFERENCE Local Methodist pastors are winding up their work, preparatory to the session of the Washington Conference, which begins at John Wesley M. E. Church on April 14th. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY JANUARY 30, 1915. CONFERENCE OF HOME AND FOREIGN MISSION WORKERS TO CONVENE New Orleans, La., January 27. Leaders in missionary work from all parts of the country will gather here for the third general convention of Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church, to be held in St. James Church, February 9, 1913. Mrs. Laura Lemon Turner, of Atlanta, is president of the society. Her husband, Bishop Henry M. Turner, is its founder. At the opening session on Tuesday morning, February 9, a missionary tag rally will be held. In the evening formal welcoming services will be held, addresses of greeting being delivered by a number of local celebrities. Responses will be made by Mrs. W.B. Larence and Mrs. W.D. Robinson. The following day Mrs. Turner will deliver her address as president; Bishop J. M. Conner will preach, Bishop W. D. Chappelle will deliver an address, reports will be received from conference branch societies and a number of discussions will take place. Mrs. Margaret P. Hill, of Baltimore, will be among those presenting fraternal greetings from the Parent Women's Mate Missionary Society. Others are the program during the week include: Bishop L. J. Coppin, Bishop Joshua H. Jones, Bishop C. S. Smith, Rev. Dr. J. W. Rankin, secretary of missions; Dr. W. W. Beckett, Mrs. L. J. Coppin, Bishop J. S. Flapper, W. A. Fountain, Mrs. M. S. Pearson, Mrs. L. B. Brown, Mrs. R. H. Singleton, Mrs. M. L. Chancell, Mrs. J. B. Dudley, Miss Berthk King and Mrs. J. C. Robinson. The society is doing a praiseworthy work in looking after ministers in the foreign field, as well as the widows of those who have passed away. Branches exist principally in the South. As the Council of Bishops of the A. M. E. Church meets her during the week and the Mardi Gras festival will also be held an unusually large attendance is expected. BISHOP HURST SPEAKS OF PROGRESS IN JAMAICA That colored people in Jamaica are engaged in every walk of life is the observation made by Bishop John Hurst, who with Rev. Dr. J. W. Pankin, secretary of missions for the A. M. E. Church, returned from a visit to Jamaica and Cuba Friday. "There are two daily papers published in Kingston," he said. "and the reportorial work is all done by colored men. The owners are white, however. Colored people hold positions in all branches of the government service, are clerks in banks and in stores. The white man is at the head of many of these things, but the trusted positions go to the race. "Some of the largest department stores in Kingston are owned by colored men and the leading hotel is run by a corporation composed of Negroes. "Colored people are overwhelmingly in the majority, and there is no social relations between the races. Even the mulattoes do not mingle freely with the blacks. Despite this social separation, the colored people there are not restricted as they are in this country. Not only is there a disposition not to hamper the race, but the same would not be submitted to as in the United States. "The A. M. E. Church is going there, and I am gratified at the prospects of the work. I intend making a detailed report of my observations at the session of the Bishop's Council in New Orleans next month. LEAN TIMES FOR DEMOCRATS Colored Democracy of New York Not Expecting To Get Very Much "Gravy" New York, January 28.—Lean times are expected for Tammany Hall during the next two years. Governor Charles S. Whitman, a Republican, is now at the helm in State affairs, and John Purroy Mitchell, staunch Wilson supporter, Mayor of Greater New York. Along with Dudley Field Malone, collector of port, Tammany can expect no quarter. This will be especially hard on the United Colored Democracy, a number of whose adherents are holding down good jobs. Robert N. Wood, head of the United Colored Democracy; James D. Carr, who aspired to be the United States Minister to Haiti, and Cornelius D. Hughes are among the colored men who have been holding down fat jobs through the grace of Tammany Hall. The fusion municipal administration is dead against Tammany Hall, and while no colored man has been received political preferment under it, it is certain that no colored Tammanyite will. Dudley Field Malone told a delegation from the United Colored Democracy some months ago that colored supporters of Charles F. Murphy looked as bad in his sight as whites, and that need expect no appointments under him. Colored Republicans are most active, however, the belief being that Governor Whitman, who is regarded as a presidential possibility, will generously reward them. Gilchrist Stewart, Fred R. Moore, George W. Harris, George E. Wibecan and Frank Wheaton who recently returned to the Republican party, are mentioned as being among those who may receive preferment. Meanwhile, Charles W. Anderson, a Republican who aided materially in the election of Mayor Mitchel, is still holding on to his position as collector of internal revenue for the Wall street district. GRAND MASTER PRICE LODGES COMPLAINT AGAINST PATROLMAN William G. Price. grand master of the Order of Good Hope, and a young lady were talking on South Fremont avenue one night last week, when Sergeant Howard, of the Southern district, saw them. "Look out your old lady (meaning Mr. Price's wife) may see you", the sergeant is claimed to have said. "It is none of your business" retorted Mr. Price. Angered, Sergeant Howard asked Mr. Price to repeat his remarks, which he did only to be seized and marched toward a patrol box. Mr. Price so startled the sergeant when he asked who interfered first that Sergeant Howard changed his mind about arresting him and let him go. Believing that he had been unjustly treated, Mr. Price filed a protest with the Police Board, and the latter may take some action. Sergeant Howard, according to residents of the 1100 block of Warner street, tried to prevent colored children from skating there as whites were also enjoying themselves there. Several arrests of colored skaters were made. Only a few days ago the Police Board reprimanded Patrolman John T. Thornton for shooting at a colored man not under arrest. One of the three bullets fired went thru a window. MCKENZIE HEADS FISKE Many Expected Colored Man To Be Appointed-New Head An Able Man Nashville, Tenn., January 28. D. Fayette Avery McKenzie, professor of sociology at Ohio State University, has been elected president of Fisk University, one of the leading institutions in the country for the race. He will take the place of Dr. C. W. Morrow, who has acted president since the late George A. Gates resigned. The latter was seriously injured in a railroad wreck, and committed suicide in Florida while temporarily insane from his injuries. The new president is a native of Susquehanna county, Pa., and received his collegiate training at Lehigh University. In 1897 he was appointed instructor in French, German, English history and economics at Juniata College. Dr. Martin G. Bumbaugh, present governor of Pennsylvania, was then president of the college. In 1900 Dr. McKenzie resigned to become teacher of mathematics and modern languages in a well known school for boys in Philadelphia. While teaching in the latter place he pursued post graduate work in sociology, economics and history. He submitted as his thesis for the degree of doctor of philosophy a study of the Indian. Before going to Ohio State University, he was principal of an Indian school in Wyoming. While many thought that the time was ripe for the selection of a colored president, the selection of Dr. McKenzie is believed to be a popular one. Fisk University is under the control of the American Missionary Association. A large portion of the funds for its early maintenance was raised by the famous Fisk Jubilee Singers, whose inimitable singing won the plaudits of two continents. Its alumni includes some of the most prominent men and women in the country. Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, editor of the Crisis, received his collegiate training there. Dr. Booker T. Washington is a member of the board of trustees. DIFFAY ELECTED PRESIDENT Birmingham, Ala., January 22.—Hon. J. O. Diffay, for several years vice president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, was Saturday, elected president of that institution and its three branches at Anniston, Selma and Montgomery, by the newly elected board of directors. Mr. Diffay was along with Dr. W. R. Pettiford, B. H. Hudson, Peter F. Clarke and others in the establishment of the institution 25 years ago, and succeeded the late Dr. Pettiford to the presidency on his death. The report of the cashier and president showed the institution to be in good shape, with an earning for the year of $13,000. The earnings were placed to undivided profits. REV. SEELEY DEAD Bridgeton, Barbadoes, January 26.—Rev. R. A. Seeley, who was in charge of the work of the A. M. E. Church in Barbadoes for 20 yers, died following a brief illness from parapysis, a few days ago. He as stricken while administering sacrament in a church near here Dr. Seeley was at one time in charge of a church in Bermuda. He was well known in the United States, having attended a number of A. M. E. General Conferences. He is survived by a wife and several children. PRICE THREE CENTS For some time, struggling along with a large debt of unpaid death claims, which the order under the management of C. A. Howzem grand master, seemed unable to meet, the crisis appeared eminent when anonymous letters, signed "Spy" called the attention of the members in Alabama to the state of affairs, alleging that the endowment department was behind with its claims more than $30,000, that the total collections had dwindled to about $350 per month and that the expenses of operating the grand master's office was $230 per month. In response to frequent queries, I.L. Dismukes, grand treasurer corroborated much of "Spy's" statements in an open letter. Thereupon followed a merry war between Grand Master Howze on one side, using the official organ, the Dismukes and his friends on the other. Charges were lodged with the national grand master against Howze, alleging incompetence and the wilful usurpation of the prorogatives of other officers. P. F. Hill, of Nashville was directed to come to Alabama and investigate the affairs of the order, and upon his representations to the national grand master, his appointment of Dr. Jackson ensued. A mass state convention has been called for February 10th, to be held in Birmingham, at which time it is the plan to completely reorganize the fraternity in Alabama. This will be the first time that a fraternal organization in this state has ever faced any crisis without recourse to the courts, entailing a great loss of money and time. Dr. jackson's selection has given general satisfaction to all concerned. SECRETARY HAWKINS INSTITUTES SUIT Washington, January 28.—John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A.M.E. Church, has instituted proceedings in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to recover $16,447.49, which the department has on deposit with Lewis Johnson and company bankers who recently failed. The action is brought against Charles P. Williams and William Mearns, former members of the firm, and John William Henry and Benjamin W. Woodruff, present members. A. A. Bircey, a white attorney, represents the plaintiffs. Following the custom of his immediate predecessor, Bishop John Hurst, Professor Hawkins did not deposit all of the department funds with the alleged bankrupt concern, but placed them in several banks. His action has prevented the department being tied up for funds, as the salaries of the bishops and general offices, as well as other general church needs are paid out from revenues received by the department. FEDERATED CHARITIES CALL MEETING. Pursuant to the recently adopted plan of the Federated Charities of this city, to interest to a larger degree the members of the race in their work, a call has been issued to twenty representative men of the race to meet at the office of the President of the organization next Friday. It is the hope of the officers of the organization that a larger cooperation of both races in Charity work in this city will be one of the results of this meeting. SELECTION OF JACKSON CLEARS ATMOSPHERE FOR MYSTERIOUS TEN Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 22. The beginning of the end of the tanged affairs of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten is in sight, now that the national grand master J. R. Speed, of Jefferson, Texas, has appointed Dr. J.S. Jackson, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church a national deputy grand master, with especial power to handle the Alabama situation S. W. CHASE LAID TO REST Over A Thousand Pay Last Tribute To One Of City's Oldest Business Men The funeral of Samuel. W. Chase, the oldest funeral director in Baltimore, who died Monday at his home, 1400 Mosher st., was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church Thursday afternoon. The services were largely attended, many ministers being among those present. For several hours preceding the funeral the remains lay in state, hundreds of persons taking a last look at the deceased. Bishop John Hurst delivered the principal eulogy. He paid a glowing tribute to the long career of the deceased as a Christian. The Masonic fraternity, with which the deceased had been connected for years, were in charge of the obseques. Representatives from King David, Lodge of Odd Fellows, King Darius Pasture of Nazarites and the St. Luke, with which the deceased was also connected, were in attendance. Interment was beside his wife, Mrs. Caroline Reid Chase in Laurel Cemetery. Mr. Chase was born in Baltimore about 50 years ago. He never revealed to his family the exact date of his birth. His grandparents and those of his wife were natives of this city. He came of that sturdy stock of free colored citizens of Baltimore whose families have long bee noted for their intelligence, probity and resourcefulness. His father was the late Rev. Samuel W. Chase, a Presbyterian minister. At an early age he was apprenticed to the late James Davis, an undertaker, to learn the trade of cabinet making. The late Bishop James A. Handy and William Gray, later an undertaker, were apprentices with him. After finishing his trade he made furniture for several years. Nearly 60 years ago he became an undertaker and probably had a record for continuous years in one business that has been equaled by few Baltimoreans. Charles G. Bailey, John Toadwin, the late Alexander Hemsley and Isaac Brown were among those that learned the undertaking business under his instruction. During the Civil War he escaped conscription by going about the streets carrying a coffin. Mr. Chase was a member of Bethel Church for three score years and for more than fifty years had served as a trustee and a class leader there. He was also a trustee of the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference. Some years ago he was elected a lay delegate to the A. M. E. General Conference. He had been in declining health for several years, but managed to look after his affairs with the aid of his son, P. Morton Chase, who has had the active management of the business for the past decade. Besides his son, he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Alfred J. Nixon and Mrs. Celestine G. Sullivan; seven grandchildren and one nephew, Isaiah Seney. DR. MASON ELECTED PRESIDENT Birmingham, Ala., January 18. The board of directors of the Prudential Savings Bank in the first regular meeting of the year re-elected Dr. U. G. Mason, presiden W. W Hadnott, cashier. T executive committee is comp of I. B. Kigh, L. U. Goin, Echols, H. H. Strawbridge and W. Davis. W. R. Reed was appoint paying teller and Mrs. E Brown, bookkeeper and stenographer. HAVE YOU PAID YOUR Y. M. C. A. CLAIM SOCIAL SERVICE FOR THE MASSES REACHING THE UNREACHED. How the Educational and Religious Institutions in the State Are Influencing the Young People to Higher Ideals—Rise of Professor J. W. Paisley From Obscurity to Prominence. Bw GEORGE F. KING. Winston-Salem, N. C.-The spirit of sympathy and service is remarkably being evidenced by the laymen of the various churches in North Carolina and especially at this time by many laymen among the Baptists. There is an unusual appreciation of the peculiar conditions which environ thousands of our young people on the part of these laymen, who have due sympathy for those in the bonds of ignorance and sin. Realizing that the strong men and women in the race must become a protection to the weak and the poor and that their lives must be as guiding rays to thousands of our young people whose lives are often permeated with ungodly tendencies which would ultimately work against the health of in- A. B. PROFESSOR J. W. PAISLEY. dividual members of the race, a number of prominent young men of the Baptist denomination in this state have organized a laymen's movement for the purpose of making the church more effective in its work. Some years ago there was born in Guilford county, this state, a young man whose father died when this young man was a mere boy, six years of age. Winston-Salem being a busy tobacco center, the mother of this worthy young man moved here, which afforded him the opportunity to work in the tobacco factory to help his mother. Like many other young men who have become strong factors in the great constructive work now in evidence among Afro-Americans in the south, this young man, Professor J. W. Paisley, could only attend school when he was not at work in the factory. Thus he was only in school two or three months out of eight. But he was always studious and accepted every opportunity to study, especially at night when he would return home from work. With this remarkable persistence he finally graduated from the high school in this city. Believing that he was endowed for a special work for the uplift of his race, the following fall after his graduation at the high school after a hard struggle he entered Shaw university, at Raleigh. By teaching part of the sessions and working during the summer Professor Paisley managed to graduate with honors, receiving the degree of A. B. in May, 1900. After graduating from Shaw university he taught mathematics and Latin in the John Chavis High school at Raleigh and was also for a time principal of this school. Later he was appointed assistant principal of Slater State Normal, this city, and teacher of mathematics and pedagogy. Because of his eminent fitness and being so highly esteemed by all classes of citizens he was elected principal of the Oak Street Graded school, this city, which position he is now creditably filling. In fraternal circles he is very active, being a member of the grand lodge of F. and A. A. Masons of the jurisdiction of North Carolina and is quite an authority on Masonry. He is also prominent in Pythianism. In church work he is a fine leader and the 200-600 Baptists of our race in North Carolina regard him as such. He is recording secretary of the western Baptist Sunday school convention and corresponding secretary of the Rowan Baptist association. Professor Palsley is doing a great work in directing the attention of the masses of our people along more helpful lines of endeavor. He knows how to get good results from his labors. In Sunday school, church and secret society work he is as diligent as he is in his educational work. Few men have made greater progress under the same circumstances than has Professor Palsley. OUR NATIONAL LAWMAKERS. Noted Colored Men Who Have Served as Senators and Congressmen. In answer to F. M. C.'s question as to the names of men of the Negro race who held seats in the senate and the congress of the United States the Philadelphia Press says: The first colored senator of the United States was Hiram R. Revels, who was born in Fayetteville, N. C., Sept. 1, 1822. In January, 1870, he was chosen United States senator from Mississippi. The second colored senator was Blanche K. Bruce. The following colored men have been congressmen: Richard H. Cain, H. P. Cheatham, Robert C. Delarge, Robert B. Ellott, Jeremiah Haralson, John Hyman, John M. Langston, Jefferson Long, John R. Lynch, Thomas H. Miller, George W. Murray, Charles E. Nash, James E. O'Hara, Joseph H. Rainey, A. J. Ransler, James T. Rapler, Robert Simalls, Benjamin S. Turner, Jeslah T. Wall and George H. White. The first colored men to be elected members of a state legislature were Edward G. Walker and Charles L. Mitchell, chosen to the Massachusetts house of representatives in 1860. Ebnezer Don Carlos Bassett of Philadelphia was the first colored man to be given an appointment by the United States government. In 1860 he was made minister resident and consul general to Haiti. There are a number of colored persons at present in the diplomatic and consular service of the United States. HOWARD UNIVERSITY GETS RARE COLLECTION OF BOOKS Messrs. Cromwell and Moorland Donate Volumes of Great Value. Washington.—Howard university's interest in our race is not confined merely to the classrooms within its stately buildings, but is reaching out into the world at large for educational matter with which to give its student body the best available information concerning the literary achievements of the race. The university has recently begun the collection of literature, records and documents relating to the Negro race in America. The institution has in its possession now what is considered an important collection of rare books and pamphlets with which to form what is to be known in the future as "The Negro Americana." Quite a number of years ago the school came into possession of the famous library of Lewis Tappen, the noted anti-slavery advocate. Dr. John W. Cromwell, secretary of the American Negro academy and author of the new book entitled "The Negro in American History," placed at the disposal of Howard the Catcart clippings many years ago. These clippings cover the civil war and reconstruction period. They consist of scores of volumes touching the various phases of that period and the Negro's relation to the changes incident to his well being during that time. The Moorland collection is the largest and most significant contribution to the new undertaking. Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary of the Young Men's Christian association, has been a collector of rare and curious books in this field during the past quarter of a century and has gathered up a collection of several thousand titles. Dr. Moorland only recently turned this collection over to Howard university, of which he is an alumnus and a trustee. During the past forty years the institution has accumulated books, pamphlets, documents and other data in this field, all of which will now be assembled and installed along with these several collections under the head of "Negro Americana." The university expects at the opening of the next school term to establish a chair of sociology, which shall be devoted to research in the field of Negro development as well as to practical lines of remedial endeavor. This library is expected to be of broad national service. Such a collection at the capital of the nation will be easily available to students and scholars and research workers from all parts of the country. Will President Wilson Keep His Word? A. G. Smith of the New York Chronicle, Buffalo, says it is rumored that President Wilson will not appoint a colored man to the office of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr. Smith attributes the president's attitude in the matter to southern influence at Washington. This is very well put when we take into consideration that the president himself is of southern birth. Mr. Smith also believes our face press should inquire into the matter with a view to having the president tell what he intends to do about filling the office of recorder of deeds, as he has promised the office should go to a member of the race. If Mr. Wilson did make such a promise we see nothing in the way to prevent him from keeping his word. What say ye, brother editors? Charles Mulford's Rise to Prominence. Charles Mulford, who holds a clerkship in the Bayonne bank at Bayonne, N. J., is making good. He is the only member of the race holding such a position in the state of New Jersey. Mr. Mulford is known for his industry and ability to handle matters which require experience and exactness in his line. He is thoroughly interested in movements having for their object the betterment of the race and is a strong believer in and supporter of the literature published by the race.

CHURCH Let me (Leland Finney) extend to the reporters and publishers for the happiest and most prosperous New Year. The reports so far that are sent and read by thousands of people are exceptionally good. To the reporters of the "Afro" let this be your motto "I will do my best." We also want more reports from the various churches, both in and out of town. Leland R. Finney, reporter. Yes, brother Finney, tell 'em about it We need more reports right hot from the griddle. Ed. WATERS A. M. E. CHURCH We take pleasure in presenting a list of our Sunday School boys present last Sunday—Wm. Kelson, Bernard Jennings, Oliver Mitchell, Edgar Northern, Herbert Giles, Malster Gassoway, Charles Thompson, Wm. Franklin, Silver Williams, Harry Wilson, George Allen, Harry Evans, Charles Ennis, Elmer Hilliard, Leon Hilliard, Ocie Upton, Howard Cromwell, John Jennings, Joseph Kelson, Arthur Brown. Respectfully, the boys of $ _{k} $ Waters. Yes, Waters but what about basket ball? When are you going to meet St. Marys? Ed. SPECIALS Roland Carrington and Clarence Pendleton! Who are they? Two wide awake boys, one from school 116, the other from school 108. Master Carrington is deeply interested in wireless telegraphy. He has a very efficient station at his residence and receives messages from many other stations. Master Carrington has been working earnestly for weeks at his apparatus and at last reports it is in good working condition. Boys wishing to get special information upon this very fascinating subject see Master Carrington. Master Clarence Pendleton is interested in model aeroplane construction. He has completed one model already but finds some undesirable features about it and is now busily engaged in research work with an aim to in the near future to produce a model capable of taking graceful flights. It would be not a bad idea to think about organizing an aero club, Master Pendleton; and have all the members take up serious work in model making. Master Carrington, what about getting together three or five good boys and form a wireless club? It strikes us as being a rather desirable work. Ed. Well boys, whenever you go to the bakery to buy doughnuts you must take off your hat very reverently while those very toothsome members of the "nut" family are being sold you. Who started it? Now listen—twixt me, you and the woodpile—now mind don't tell anybody—but a fellow by the name of Jerome Chase started it. Now I don't know anything about it so don't ask me—but I'll tell you what I do know or rather what I've just told you I don't know. Chase likes all nuts! Anything from a J. G. Martin, Jr.; Proprietor respect for these that he declares no boy is a gentleman who does not take his hat off to the doughnuts, before landing them into eternity. Also he declares it strictly proper to smack your mouth three times with the first, middle and last doughnut before eating them to signify "coming" "going" "gone!" What's the matter with the copper headed ruffins—can't you send us any reports? or are you busy preparing iron clad protectors as in case of sudden warfare in your vicinity? Ed.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION PALTIMORE JAN. 30. 1915 THE LOGIC OF JEFFERSON Thomas Jefferson was a far seeing patriot. He had what very many of our public men of today have not, "vision." Mr. Jefferson, viewing the effects of slavery, more than one hundred years ago, said: "With what execration should the statesman be loaded, who, permitting one-half of the citizens thus to trample on the rights of the other, transform those into despots, and these into enemies, destroying the morals of the one part, and the amor patriae of the other." What he then said is equally true with respect to the suppression of the rights and civic privilege of one part of citizens, by the other. Mr. Jefferson confessed that it was "impossible to be temperate and to pursue this subject through the various considerations of policy, of morals, of history, natural and civil." If such a strong character as Mr. Jefferson, a distinguished Virginian, took such a view of the conditions then existing, what would he say, if rising from his bomb at Monticello, he should again look over and review the conditions of anarchy and lawlessness which extend all through the Southern country? No man plead more earnestly than he for the abolition of slavery, and with the eye of the seer, he seemed to keenly feel the outpouring of the wrath of God upon a country he affectionately loved, and for whose preservation and deliverance he so faithfully wrought. And, in spite of all that was said and done, Mr. Jefferson vouchsafed to ask his countrymen, "Can the liberties of a Nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God?" And, significantly adding, "They are not to be violated but with His wrath," he indicates the depths of his searchings of heart in an exclamation worthy of the most serious attention of such men as President Wilson, Secretary Bryant, the Governors, Judges, white clergy, and other prominent and public men throughout the South. In view of the humanity and brutality practised upon a large portion of human beings, with black skins, Mr. Jefferson said: "Indeed, I tremble for my coun try, when I reflect that God is Just, that His justice can not sleep forever: that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation is among possible events; that it may become probable or supernatural interference. The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest." In the presence of such weighty and tremendous words, there is nothing to add. A poor, God-fearing people, through the loss of millions of lives, on both sides, of one of the saddest civil wars in the records of time, were emancipated, set free. Laboring under the severest disadvantages, bravely have they sought to go forward in everything necessary to good citizenship. Yet, in the presence of a Christian civilization, and public opinion, they have been murdered, assassinated, lynched, disfranchised, and every indignity heaped upon them. They have accepted in good faith, the edict of the dominating oligarchy that they should exist in the community as "a race apart." Notwithstanding the fact that they have been shorn of the "franchise," Jim-crowed and segregated, and treated as political outcast, and are dependent upon those who have thus despoiled them for simple justice, in the protection of life, person, and property, yet the usual channels of public opinion seem immune to their cries of help and defense. Abraham Lincoln said upon one occasion, that he was forced often to his knees because he had no where else to go. Of course, all good and true men of the race will always, gladly and cheerfully, do what they can to relieve the situation. But this much every one of us can constantly do, always and all the time, give the Almighty no rest until victory comes forth out of defeat. "His Justice can not sleep forever." The Industrial Survey has awakened a good many white men of Baltimore. How about the men of color? Samuel W. Chase, whose death occurred this week, was a good citizen in every sense of the word. Devoted to the church for more than half a century, with a long record in business equaled but few, he had long held the esteem of the people of his native city. Booker T. Washington mentioned a number of organizations as being desired as participants in a national health week, but he seemingly forgot to include the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people in the important movement. Governor Slaton, of Georiga, has offered $500 reward for the apprehension and conviction of members of the mob that recently lynched two men and two women at Monticello, Ga. Whoever heard of white man being convicted for lynching a colored person in Georgia? Of course, the governor may feel aggrieved because of Northern criticism of the acts of the mob, but he and others would greatly lessen the danger of lynching if they had the courage to preach against all kinds of racial discriminations. Instead, the "best whites" opposed to lynching usually ride into office by abusing the Negro, aided by the laws that exclude the Negro from voting. That the Georgia whites were not alarmed by the outcry of the newspapers there and that of Governor Slaton is shown by the fact they lynched another colored man a few days ago—and he did not commit rape either. Out in Cincinnati the Mayor has ordered that there be no race discrimination in the examination of applicants for the Fire Department. It seems that the colored residents of Baltimore did not know that they have a right to apply for positions in the Fire and Police Departments, judging by the fact that no colored man has made an attempt within the past fifteen years.

She was stricken with paralysis about one o'clock Tuesday morning and a little over four hours later the end came.

She had been an active member of the Madison Street Presbyterian Church for the past 29 years, and was an unostenatious worker in many charitable enterprises. She was a member of the DuBois Circle and the Penny Club, of the Madison Street Presbyterian Church. She was of great help to her husband, Mr. George E. Frev, who is enraged, in the catering business, and only two weeks ago served a luncheon for him at the home of a prominent family. Funeral services were held at the Madison Street Church Thursday afternoon. Revs. L. Z. Johnson, W. Edward William, George F. Bragg and E. F. Eggleston, of Newark, N.J., delivering eulogies.

Mrs. Henson in making the donation said that she was glad to be able to do something for the Provident Hospital as she had been a patient there and wanted to see that institution live and grow as it is the only hospital in Baltimore where you are always surrounded by your own color and friends, who do everything in their power to serve your every need. The Board of Directors feel very grateful to Mrs. Henson for this generous donation and hope that she may live to see the institution grow and be self-supporting. John W. Rich, President, Board of Directors Provident Hospital CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank the public for the long continued patronage that they have given Samuel Chase and Son, funeral directors, and hereby notify them that I will continue the business under the old firm name. OUT TO RAISE FOUR THOUSAND Y. M. C. A. Workers Will Make Strenuous Effort to get in This Amount During February February is the month! February is the month! Former members of the Y. M. C. A. are asked to return to the ranks, workers and friends are urged to give their support in re-awakening the interest of 1912, in other words, do as a members puts it.—"Get crazy" again Some persons may ask—Is the institution worth while? Do we need a building for colored men and boys? Has it any influence upon the youth of the race? Is it a vital need? Does it get good results? Let the answer come from the thousands of men who are connected with the movement, from the million or more boys who haunt the buildings each day; from the million or more capitalists, philanthropists and men in all walks of life who have given their means towards the erection and equipment of buildings throughout the country and the world. The answer is positive. Two years ago the colored citizens invested in this world-wide movement for the salvation of men and boys. Their effort was worthy of commendation, for after a ten days rally, the records show that 3200 persons had become interested and to the extent that the same number had pledged more than $30,000.00 to the New Building Fund. What are the facts today? 790 persons have met the conditions, paid their pledges in full. 523 persons have made part payment's and the rest of the number have not paid anything. Did you subscribe? Have you paid? If not, get busy, in order that Baltimore may hold its own among the "Big Eleven" cities that accepted Mr. Rosenwald's offer. We can do it. We are sure, this matter is an oversight on the part of our subscribers, and they, when they know the conditions and our efforts or objective at present will show their interest by meeting their obligation at once. February is the month. Remember $4,591.05 more and we will break ground. Will you make a payment? Pay up and join the "Booster's Club." A VERY PRETTY WEDDING A pretty wedding took place on Wednesday, January the twentieth, when Miss Ruth Holmes Hall became the bride of Mr. John F. Heigh, at the home of her parents, 2083 Druid Hill avenue. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. J. Mitchell, pastor of Ames M. E. Church. Miss Mamie Sorrell played the wedding march. The bride was given away by her father, Mr. Robert E. Hall. Mrs, Maude Jones aunt of the bride was matron of honor. Miss Marie Graham was bridesmaid and Mr. Thomas Chatman was best man. The bride was attired in white brocade satin trimmed in Duchess lace and crystals with tule veil reaching to the hem of her dress. The bridesmaid wore a lavender chiffon over pink silk. The matron of honor was attired in lavender 'repe de chine trimmed with shadow lace and crystals. The groom and best man were attired in evening dress. A reception followed the wedding ceremony. The couple received many handsome and useful presents such as cut glass, silver, china and linen. Among the handsome presents was a handsomely carved silver water pitcher from the culinary department of the Emerson Hotel, where the groom is employed. The couple will reside at 2038 Druid Hill avenue. COUNGIL OFFICERS ELECTED The Past Chiefs' Council! No. 48 I. O. of St. Luke met on January 27th, at the residence of Mr. D. B. Snowden, of 1765 Barnes street. After the regular routine of business the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: M. W. Chief, Mrs. M. E. McCormick; M. W. V. Chief, Mr. D. B. Snowden; M. W. Recording Secretary. Mrs S. J. C. Ralph; M. W. Treasurer, Mrs. Anne Holliby; M. W. Prelate, Rev. Isiaah Wade; M. W. Senior Con. Mr. Wm. Holliby; M. W. Junior Con. Mr. Perry Brook; M. W. I. Sentinel, Mrs. Lovey Husketh; M. W. O. Sentinel, Mrs. Maggie Brock; Reporter, Lavinia S. Henry, District Deputy. The Past officers reported their councils as being in a prosperous condition and adding ne wmembers A few days ago we received thru Mr. Booker, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in this city, a communication from the Alpha Physical Culture Club, operating the Alpha "Big Five" basketball team, in which the manager of the team asked Mr. Booker to book for him a date with some reputable team in this city for February 22nd. It is a regrettable fact that circumstance and conditions of training in Baltimore are such that there is no team here capable of competing with the New York Team above mentioned, either from a point of physical prowess or financial organization. The heavy expense of bringing this team here would warrant the hire of a large hall big enough to accommodate a crowd of such proportions as would meet such demands. With the exception of the Richmond Market Armory, which can only be had for charitable purposes, there is no other hall at the disposition of the colored people of this city that can meet the above requirements. Further there is no hall at the disposal of all athletes in the city, where they might meet and form an organization out of which would come athletes capable of competing with men from out of town in all branches of sport. It grieves us to review the above facts,but that the conditions exist is undeniable, and the only remedy we can see in the foreground of the future is the building of the new Y. M. C. A. Harry Baker, the Wilmington middleweight, cutpointed Jack Blackburn in six rounds of boxing before the Fairmount A. C. of Philadelphia last Tuesday night, before an audience of 5,000 people. The fight was hard fought from start to finish and while Baker had a slight margin at the end, Blackburn was coming fast in the last two rounds, and a few more rounds might have reversed the decision. Baker scored a knockdown in the first, and Blackburn evened up in the second. Baker drove Blackburn around the ring with hard body punches in the third with Blackburn in the lead in the early part of the fourth. In the sixth Blackburn showed some old time form and gave Baker some hard punches that made him wince. Neither man showed any marks of the bout afterwards. From El Paso Texas, comes the report the General Villa's army is fighting for Jack Johnson. Villa is to receive a share of the proceeds of Johnson's match with Wilard on March 4, at Juarez and to that end is beseiging Tampico with his army. Tampico covers the only route thru Mexico that Johnson can take without fear of being molested by Carranza's troops, and on the success or failure of General Villa in taking it depends Johnson's hopes for the fray with America's "white (lost) hope." Johnson may attempt to reach Juarez thru the U.S however and the immigration authorities at El Paso have been warned to keep a look out for him. By completely overwhelming play St. Mary's basketball team defeated the Morgan College five at the former's cage last Friday night. From the beginning Morgan's team never seemed to have a chance, and although they never gave up hope they played with a seeming knowledge of defeat. They did not even score a field goal; their six tallies being foul shots. After the first few minutes of play when St. Mary's, felt that they had the game "sewed up" they substituted men promiscuously, —every man on he team being given a chance to lay. Considering that this was Morgan's initial game, they did well to keep the score from running up higher. A criticism that might be made was the promiscuity with which St. Mary's manager Jones substituted men in the game. He repeatedly put men back into the game that had previously played, while the rule is strictly "that no man, once having been raken from the line-up shall be permitted to reenter the game." While there was no kick from Morgan on this point, in all regular games the rules should be adhered to as strictly as practicable. Line up: Morgan: I. Williams, and E. Dorsey, forwards;J. Webb, c; Camper and Thompson, guards. St. Mary's: Hayes and Butler, forwards; Hammond, centre; Armstead and Adams, guards. Substitutes, for St. Mary's: Haywood, Thomas, Remon, Deman and Taylor. The following is from Atlantic City: The Crescent A. C. Basketball team of Atlantic City, N. J., would like to arrange games with teams of Washington and Baltimore, to be played at Fitzgerald's Auditorium here, when they have dates in Philadelphia, or New York. We guarantee transportation from Philadelphia, or New York. We guarantee transportation from Philadelphia to Atlantic City. First class team Please send open dates at once to Duvall B. Evans, 25 N. Ohio avenue, Atlantic City. The "Fleet-footed" Ki-Yi-ls and the "Baby Eurekas" both of Tuskegee played their second game of the year, and was in the first game the Ki-Yi's carried off the honors. The score 19-14 is a good indication of how the "Baby-Eurekas" played against their heavy and more experienced opponents. The teams of the school are being coached by Porter A. Smith and Walter Hutcherson, former students of Tuskegee. As the result of a conflict between the managers of the basketball teams of the Colored High School and St. Marys, an entirely new team will represent the High School at the game to be played at the Richmond Armory next Tuesday night. For sometime a majority of the boys that played on the High School team, practiced and played with the St. Mary's team, and vice versa, until a short while ago, when a date was booked by the St. Mary's team to play a Washington five. Rev. George A. Griffith, pastor of St. Mary's Church told the sporting editor that when he found the High School was scheduled to play a game Tuesday previous to the Friday on which the St. Mary's boys were to play a Washington team also, he told the members of the St. Mary's Athletic Asso., who played on the High School team, that if they played at the Armory on the Tuesday night in question, they would no longer be considered members of the Association as the close proximity of the two games would lessen the chances for a successful financial conclusion of their (St. Mary's) game. And further, as his game had been booked first, he had first right to their service. Some of the boys were at first inclined to be loyal to their School, but later decided to obey the edict of Rev. Griffith, and conveyed their decision to Director Ross, of the High School. Mr. Ross forthwith informed them that as they had chosen to be disloyal to their school they would no longer be considered representatives thereof, and proceeded to organize an entirely new team. In an interview with the sporting editor, Mr. Ross said that while the name of the team they were going to play had not been definitely decided, he had informed his boys of the date of the game nearly a fortnight previous to the time they were notified of St. Mary's game, and as they had been disloyal to their school, he did not feel justified in keeping them as a team representing said school. Mr. Ross also said that he had formed a new team and that they would play at the Armory next Tuesday night. The High School boys who declined to represent their alma mater are, Hayes, Butler, Hammond, Armstead, Beamon and Smith. From time to time the Sporting Editor has been taken to task for the articles appearing in his column, principally concerning sporting events in this city. To which he would reply that he is employed as the Sporting Editor of the Afro-American Ledger by the Afro-American Co., and that judgement on his articles is passed only by the editor-in-chief. Further that he is instructed to get the news, write it as he sees it, and give every side fair play as dictated by his judgement, and that he will continue to publish THE TRUTH, as 1ar as he is able to obtain it, regardless of who it helps or who it hurts. Through the athletic council St. Christopher Club, of New York makes known the fact that the "Red and Black Machine" will play Hampton Institute at Hampton, Va., on the afternoon of February 22. This will be on the first meeting between these two teams. Al Rodgers, of Buffalo, had the better of a six-round fight with Jack Blackburn, of Philadelphia, before the Lincoln Club, in Altoona, Pa., Wednesday night. THE NEW STEAMER STARLIGHT AND HER CAPTAIN CAPTAIN BROWN The New Starlight as she will appear upon her arrival in Baltimore in a few days. Captain Brown says while it is a fact that the Steamer is fitted out in every way, and especially adapted to the excursion business, there will be about $5,000 spent in modern improvements to make her a modern and up-to-date Excursion Steamer. She will even be fitted out with a wireless and telephone service. In Memoriam In sad but loving remembrance of my beloved husband, Robert W.

Im- pressed by the earnest air of nis visitor, the young man. regarded him gilently a moment and then ushered him into an inner room and bade him wait. “Presently a gentleman of digni- fied mein appeared, invited him to a seat and inquired to what he owed the honor of his visit. Yardley plunged immediately into his sub- ject. “Sir,” he said, “if you could, by a happy stroke, place your country immeasurably above all ‘other nations—make it i. fact their master in war and commerce— would you embrace the opportuni- ty?” : Promptly came the answer asifa shot from a gun: ‘'Unhesitatingly, sir, 1 would.’” “Well,’ replied Yardley, '*I give you that opportunity.’? ‘*How?”’ asked the other cautiously. Yard- ley then told him of his invention; its complete success in navagating the air, Also of his failure to in- terest his own Government—his treatment and all. The Minister thoughtfully stroke his beard and smiled. He shrewd- ly sized up our hero, took his measure and saw that he was deal- ing with po ordioary man. y “Come back at eight tonight and take dinner with me, and we will talk it over, Meantime I have your word and the utmost secrecy must be observed ”’ It was now Yardley’s tur to smile and they look leave of each other with mutual understanding. That evening at the appointed hour he came again, aod under the glow of British hospitality the de- tails wereallarranged. They were as follows: . At the close of the meet Yardley was to prepare ‘“The Burly Negro’? for a flight across the sea to London. He was to be accompanied by the Minister's son, upon the delivery of the airship to the British authorities, in addition to the secret of its motive power, he was to be given the sum of five million pounds stirliog and knight- hood. Yardiey’s eyes glistened as he read the agreement, but before signing, insisted on inserti:g a clause of hiy own. {t was thiz in bis own words: “It is further agreed between the nglish Government and the in- ventor, Vernon Yardley, that at no time in the future shall the said English Government ever make a Treaty with the United States whereby that Government shail in the benefits to be derived from said invention and discovery."” “Agreed,”? said the Minister heartily, and affixed his signature and the seal of his country. On the 15th the scheduled aviation events were pulled off. The clumsy aeroplanes circled about the grounds and over the city uncertainly, while the people cheered and Congress adjourned to see it all. Two or three of the airmen-came to grief, ‘bet the papers spoke in high terms of the gteat success of the event and the prize was awarded to Paul- han Wright flying a Curtis bipane. The ‘‘Burly Negro’’ remained in its shed unnoticed and forgotten. On the 13th the field was alive with aviators and mechanicians busily dismantling the aeroplanes prepar- ing jor shipment while reporters were flitting about seeking copy. ‘At 10 o'clock Yardely appeared carrying two suit cases, accom- panied by a young white man, dress- ed in English tweeds, wearing a yellow mackintosh, They were followed’ by six stalwart blacks. ‘They. proceeded atraight to the shed of ‘'The Burly Negro.’”” The six workmen rolled.the machine out and’stripped off the canvass. The vit cases were placed abroad. Yardley climbed in, opened one of the cases, took from it.a glittering contrivance cf brass and steel which he fastened to the bottom by bolts and clamps. The Englishman unrolled a British flag and ran it up on the THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER _ see if, for once, they could not lay aside their hatred and be governed once by ideas rather than brutal prejudice I failed.

The North, forget- ting the glorious traditions of its Sumners, its Phillips, and its Gar- risons, has abandoned the doctrine of the square deal and embraces with unction the intolerancy of the, rebel South, This has been clearly demonstrated by the events of the past few days.

Where the pigment of skin and texture of hair blind not the eyes to the merits of the inner man. I was received with respect and in- terest and, later with the joyful realization that.the policy of stern and undeviating justice through the ages, had borne an abundant harvest at last. And now, finally, when you see Great Britain take her deserved place at the head of nations, forever your master, be pleased to know that you let slip this opportunity which might have been yours, by your own pig-head- ed stupidity and prejudice,” He ceased speaking and the crowd gazed at each other in bewilder- mentandsilence. It was adramatic moment, tense with the excitement of expectancy. Yardley. took his seat amid-ship, while the Englishman occupied the stern, There wes a low purr of machinery,a preliminary movement of power and ‘‘The Burly Negro’? | rose gracefully and sailed around {the aviation field at a height of a few feet.

After a few more evolutions to show her wonderful power, she rose ‘to a height of five hundred feet and , started for the city. In the mean- [time the telephone wires to the jnewspaper offices in towa were ted hot with the wonderful event. | “Bolletins were hastily, posted, lcongress notified, and the whole city soon knew what was happen- jing, and found itself out on the ; streets. “There it comes! ‘There it comes!’? was the cry passed on from lip to lip as ‘The Burly j Negro” glittering io the sunlight igoared over the city. Heading directly for the British Legation the ship descended to a level with the house, moving back-. lward and forward, showing her ‘guperb control and worthiness while the whole force cheered and cheer- ler like people demented; and the dignified Minister, forgetting for once his dignity, threw his silk hat into the air and jumped up and down on it as it Jay on the ground. ““The Burly Negro’? then sailed to the White House, -where the President and his Cabinet watched | ith fallen jaws and clenched fists i the graceful craft flying the English uM ee ee a ed the ocean and was received with loud aeclaim in London, where his promised reward was given him and he was proclaimed the greatest man of the century. In America all was gloom and dismal foreboding. The indignant papers of the North overwhelmed the administration and the Govern- ment with curse both loud and deep and at the next election the. party in power was swept out of existence and a new party was born, and a new sentiment was awakened, which had as ils foundation stene the doctrine: ‘' 4ll men up and not gomez men down, and equal oppor- tunity for all, both white and black.’ Continued from first column and his committee to come down and tell what I knew about slavery. Dr. Cobb hed everything arranged for this celebration. He had all ‘the epeakers, the singers, the parade ene all other things. It was pull- ed off in great style. They met at ‘achureh, and paraded the streets. ‘The men and women were not jashamed of the past. They knew ‘that their mothers and fathers had ‘been in bondage against their ewn ‘will, but they were today free, and ‘they wanted to pay their tribute to the past slavery. They not only met for talk, but the parade showed the progress ‘made. There were floats represent: ing the business and profession of the race. The tailor, the pressing clubs, the druggist, the cook, the laundress, the butcher, the farmer, ‘the professional men, the schoo: Paes all made up this wonder- ful parade, and then there was the Negro in his horseless carriage, and in that was the speaker of the day, These people all showed progresa and 1 heard the speech and the other exercises. I told them my story, and they enjoyed it very much,and had me to speak again at night. -I remained ther? all day and then found my way to Bostop,Ga., where Ihad to wait for 6 hours inorder to get to this pluce. I had the pleasure of meeting the doctor, and took dinner at his home while I was speaking. Dr. C. S, Taylor, is a native of Washington, D. C., and a graduate from the medical department of Howard University. He went. to Buxton, Iowa, where he started his practice of medicine and then landed down here. He is considered by all the people as the leading doctor in this part of the world, It was while in Bux- ton, that he married one of the best trained women of our race. She is the queen of his home and is making him happy. - At last I reached this place, Moultre, and was met at the stable by a young man in the name of Rev, I, D. Davia, and escorted me to his home. His daughter, Miss Mary C. Davis, met me at the door and then called ‘'Papa, here is Col. J. 0. Midnight." Rev. Davisscon made me welcome tu hia home. Miss Mary C. Davis is considered one of the leading teachers in the state, and finest musician. She took up some special music work in Chicago during the past summer. In this she made a record, and will be in school ina few days. 1 am indeed glad to meet these young people, Miss Nora Dean Banch, a graduate Morris Brown University, also ahook my lily black hand.

BISHOPS TO MEET IN NEW ORLEANS GUESTS OF EIGHTH DISTRICT Leaders of African Methodist Episcopal Church and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the Denomination Are Expected In Large Numbers. New Orleans.—Headed by Bishop J. M. Conner, D. D., of Little Rock, the eighth Episcopal district of the African Methodist Episcopal church, comprising Mississippi and Louisiana, is preparing to entertain the bench of bishops and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary society in this city, commencing Feb. 11 and going through to the 15th. This promises to be one of the largest attended meetings ever held in the history of the African Methodist church in New Orleans and will be attended by several thousand people from all parts of the country. The committee of arrangements is composed of representatives from each conference in the district, and the women, under the direction of Mrs. J. M. Conner, have appointed committees. A number of social functions have also been arranged. Bishop Conner is one of the most remarkable men of his church and race and is doing a great work in his native state for the development of his people. He is one of the few men elevated to the highest position in his church and assigned to his native state. He was born on a plantation in Winston county, Miss., in 1863. After his conversion he felt that he was called to the ministry and was licensed to preach by Rev. J. W. Washington. His first charge was at the Aberdeen (Miss.) mission in 1883. While he was serving at the Aberdeen mission he demonstrated his ability as a leader by purchasing land and erecting a church building which was a credit to the town as well as to his people. Bishop T. M. D. Ward ordained this young man a deacon in 1884. He served Okolona and Stormville, in Mississippi, and was then sent by Bishop Ward to Forest City, Ark., to build a church. When he had accom- PRIEST BISHOP J. M. CONNER. plished this he was sent to another place with the same instruction because he had made a reputation as a church builder. He not only directed in building churches, but he added many members to their rolls. In Arkansas he served in some of the most important charges—Little Rock, Hot Springs and Jonesboro. In Little Rock he purchased land and erected a parsonage and at Hot Springs paid off a long standing debt on the church and at these places put up the dollar money by almost doubling the amounts collected in previous years. He was later appointed presiding elder. It was while in this position he further demonstrated his ability as leader of men. In order to better equip himself for his work Bishop Conner took a course in the National university. Chicago, graduating in 1801 with the degree of bachelor of sacred theology. Bishop Conner also took a course of study at the University of Chicago and at Shorter college, Little Rock and was when elected to the episcopacy president of the Alumni as society of Shorter college. The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon him by Morris Brown university, Atlanta, and the degree of doctor of laws by Paul Quinn college, Waco, Tex. He has made a reputation as an author through "Outlines of Christian Theology," "Doctrines of Christ" and "Elements of Success." These books have been reviewed by some of the best reviewers of the country and their merit had much to do with placing him in the front ranks in his church. He has the distinction of being an editor, for during his early work in Arkansas, he published and edited the Little Rock Reporter, the Arkansas Statesman and Conner's Magazine. He speaks and reads Greek and Hebrew fluently. Bishop Conner is accomplishing great good in his church. The general conference held in Kansas City, 1912, elected him to the office of bishop and he was assigned to Mississippi and Louisiana, where he has made many friends among both races. --- SEGREGATION BREEDS STRIFE Hundreds Hear Dr. Spingarn Please Our Cause at Ohio Capital Our Cause at Ohio's Capital. In his address delivered in the auditorium of the chamber of commerce in Columbus, O., recently Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, among other things said: "The real cause of the present war in Europe was a contempt for weaker people, which expressed itself in a desire to colonize and so acquire the land of those people. There is a perfectorgy of Negro baiting in congress at the present time, and when I read what those men there say, I wonder if they are as ignorant on all other questions that I don't know about as they are on this question that I do know something about. There are two bills before congress now, one to make it a crime for the races to intermarry in the District of Columbia and the other providing segregation. My experience is that not one Negro in 1,000,000 wants to marry a white person." This statement was loudly applauded. "These bills are dangerous to civilization, as they put black women at the mercy of white men. These bills in congress are signs of the black man's progress. When a race rises in the social scale the friction with the other race increases. We new abolitionists come to you, and we say 'Wake up, black folk; a golden opportunity is yours.' "Why can't we stand for segregation? Because the segregated race is cheated out of its share of the complex organization it helped to build Louisville, Richmond, Baltimore, St. Louis and other cities have segregation laws. They are increasing. If you do not organize and take courage and determine this thing shall stop the cloud will come very near to Column bus. All that we ask is that the thing be managed as well as it is in Jamaica, B. W. 1. There is not the sums friction there. All we ask is absolutely fair treatment, as between men regardless of color. We want America can work done by the best men." Resolutions to congress against the passage of any jim Crow legislation were adopted, and a branch of the National association was formed. The meeting was attended by 1,500 people, the majority being of our race. Dr. Spingarni's tour of the west was concluded on Wednesday, Jan. 27, with an address at Buffalo. "RACE PREJUDICE AND ITS SOCIAL COST" DISCUSSED. What Mrs. Villard and Mrs. B. R. Wilson Say About the Matter. The public meeting held at the Church of the Messiah in New York the third week in January had two very interesting speakers. One was a member of our race; the other of the Caucasian race. The subject for discussion was "Race Prejudice and Its Social Cost" as it relates to the colored people. Mrs. Sutter R. Wilson said that racial peace was not possible without common democracy. Speaking of Lincoln, Mrs. Wilson said that the great emancipation in his day recognized the brotherhood of all races. There are at the present time more churches than ever before, and never was there more prejudice against the colored race. Prejudice against her race has increased all over the United States tremendously within the past ten years, she said. Mrs. Henry Villard, daughter of William Lloyd Garrison, the world famed abolitionist, spoke interestingly of her childhood recollections of the anti-slavery movement and how those who had fought to abolish slavery rejoiced at the success of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. Mrs. Vilard made the emphatic statement that in nine cases out of ten, whether innocent or guilty, if the accused is a colored person he is considered guilty. She said there used to be a prejudice against the Irish, but they have made such progress and become so strong that prejudice against them has about died out. The same will be true of the colored people, she asserted. Anniversary of Malta Commandery. The recent fourth anniversary of Malta commandery No. 19. Knights Templars, Pittsburgh, was a most successful affair. The sir knights of Cyrene, No. 9; Palestine; No. 14; commanderies and the Ladies of Palestine, Esther, Cyrene and Progressive chapters, Order of the Eastern Star, were the invited guests of the Malta commandery. The fine appearance of the female members, sir knights and the music furnished by the Royal Arcade orchestra contributed an air of refinement to the occasion that caused much favorable comment. The order in general is in a flourishing condition and started the work of the new year briskly. The Rev. Richard Carroll, president of the southern race conference, announces that the eighth annual meeting of the organization will be held at Columbia, S. C., for two days, beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 17. The sessions of the conference will be held in the Sidney Park C. M. E. church. One of the chief speakers will be the Rev. Dr. J. W. Railley of Texas. All persons who expect to attend the conference should communicate with I. S. Leevy at 1221 Taylor street, Columbia. Mr. Leevy is chairman of the committee of arrangements and one of the vice presidents of the conference. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER Lesson V.—First Quarter. For Jan. 31, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Judg. xiii, 8-16, 24, 25—Memory Verses, 12-14—Golden Text, Judg. xiii, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This is another record of the Lord delivering His people by a strange instrument, strong physically, but very weak spiritually; one who might have been a very great man for God if he had kept himself wholly for God, yet honorable mention is made of him in Heb. xi, 21. The story of Samson covers four chapters, xiii to xvii, of which our lesson chapter tells of the announcement of his coming, his birth and growth to manhood. The other three chapters tell of his doings, and whatever was worth while was by the Spirit of the Lord, who is mentioned four times (xiii, 25; xiv, 6; 19; xv, 14). It was during the longest period of Israel's oppression that Samson was born and when he came to manhood began to deliver Israel. They did evil again in the sight of the Lord and were oppressed by the Philistines forty years (verse 1). The messenger from heaven, who appeared first to Manoah's wife and later to Manoah, is mentioned fourteen times and is called the angel of the Lord ten times, the angel of God twice and the man of God twice. When asked his name by Manoah he replied it is "Wonderful" (verse 18, margin and R. V., text), which is the same name as in Isa. 1x, 6, so that we recognize the Son of God, whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity (Mic. v, 2), who appeared to Gideon, to Moses, to Joshua and others. As here He appeared first to Manoah's wife, it is at least most interesting to note that He is first called "the angel of the Lord" in His appearing to Hagar, and it is written that "she called the name of the Lord, who spake unto her, Thou God seest me" (Gen. xvI, 7-13). This was also in connection with a child to be born, who was the first named before his birth, and there were just six others so named. It is worthy of note that as Manoah and his wife had no child, so it was also with Zacharias and Elizabeth, and in some respects the boys were similar to compare lesson verses 4.5 and Luke i. 15-17. There is more in these Bible records than any of us have yet seen, and some day in the kingdom we will be surprised at their significance. We may not be able to tell why this man and his wife of the tribe of Dan were chosen to be thus honored, but possibly they were devout, like the father and mother of John the Baptist. We may judge from lesson verse 8 that Manoah knew the Lord and knew how to pray and obtain an answer. The lesson is called a temperance lesson because his wife was forbidden to drink wine or strong drink (verses 4, 14) or to eat anything that cometh of the vine or anything unclean. The child was to be a Nazarite unto God all his life (verses 5, 7, 5, 7). The essential thought of such consecration was separation unto the Lord, and the full requirement is given in Num. vi, where it is seen that either man or woman might take such a vow, but if they became defiled the days of their defilement were lost (verse 12). It was a vow only for a time, and when fulfilled the Nazarite might drink wine (verses 13, 20). In the case of Samson he was to be a Nazarite from birth to death, but he became defiled through his fellowship with Delilah (chapter xvi, 17-20). There were few Nazarites, and our Lord Jesus was the only perfect one in the sense of being wholly and always separated unto God. Because it is so costly to be a disciple (Luke xiv, 26, 27, 33) there are few disciples. It seems so much easier to be in some measure conformed to this present evil age than to be wholly separated from it. Yet the Lord is ever looking for any willing ones that He may show Himself strong in their behalf (II Chron. xvi, 9). The Holy Spirit, the same who came upon Samson from time to time and who dwells in every true believer, has a greater desire to fill us than any of us can desire to be filled, for it is written, "The Spirit whom He made to dwell in us yearneth for us even unto jealous envy (Jas. iv, 5, R. V., margin), but the previous verse shows us that the great hindrance is the friendship of this world. It is the valley of Sorek or the lap of Delliah or some such phase of worldliness that hinders us from being what He would like us to be. Samson was not in appearance a strong man, for had he been such the Philistines would not have wondered at his strength nor inquired the secret of it (chapter xvi. 5). As his birth was a special gift from God to his parents, as in the case of Isaac and John the Baptist, so was his great physical strength. We must first be born of God, born from above, and then if we are willing to be wholly separated unto Him He will work in us mightily both to will and to do. It is the privilege of every true believer to be strengthened with all might by His Spirit in the inner man; to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. But this can only be when we know our own weakness and cause to have any confidence in ourselves and yield fully to Him. W. A. Jones' Tonsorial Parlor Successor to W.J.H.
