ADAMS ELECTED TO ANNAPOLIS COUNCIL Annapolis, Md., July 15.—For the first time since the Legislature enacted a law practically confining all voting in municipal elections to whites. Annapolis has had an election in which all, white and colored, could participate. The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court declaring "grandfather clauses" illegal, gave all a chance to register and vote. At the biennial election Monday, Mayor Strange was reelected by just 31 majority. J. Albert Adams, who represented the Fourth ward in the Board of Aldermen prior to the enactment of the municipal election law with the "grandfather clause," was one of the two Republicans elected from the ward. He received 285 votes. Adams is well known in Anne Arundel county, being proprietor of several business enterprises, as well as belonging to a number of fraternal bodies. Maryland has two other colored City Councilmen Harry S. Cummings, of Baltimore, and Nehemiah Henry, of Cambridge. BILLY KERSANDS DEAD New York, July 15.—Word has been received here of the death of Billy Kersands from heart failure at Artestia, N. M. Kersands, who was 72 years of age, was one of the best known comedians in the country, and his antics had caused hundreds of thousands to laugh. MONUMENT TO HABRIET TUBMAN Auburn, N.

Swann resulted in Taylor's conviction Monday. WIGGINS REFLECTED BALIPE Wilmington, Del., July 16. William Wiggins, colored, was reelected bailiff of the C ty Councilman. He had no opposition. Councilman John O. Hopkins was his sponsor. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1915 JUSTICE FREES RUSSELL WALKER Warrant Charging Him With the Murder of His Father. Dis- Richmond, Va., July 15. After hearing a mass of conflicting testimony in Police Court yesterday, Justice Crutchfield dismissed the warrant charging Russell Walker with the murder of his father, Armstead Walker, at his home. 107 East Leigh street, on the night of June 20. Following the noncommittal verdict of the coroner's jury, the decision of the justice was not altogether unexpected, although Detective Sergeant Wiltshire was confident that he had produced sufficient evidence to justify holding the deferdant for the action of the grand jury. Coroner Taylor, who stopped the burial of Walker's body in order to perform an autopsy, described the nature of the dead man's wounds and gave his opinion that Walker did not intend to kill his father. The son has contended that he mistook the older man for a burglar, and fired at a shadow showing thru a screen on the back porch of the home. The coroner stated that the fatal shot fired by Russell Walker was a chance one. The ball entered the victim's left temple, passed thru the brain and lodged against the skull in the back of the head. Dr. Taylor said that it would have been exceedingly difficult for young Walker to have distinguished his father through the screen on account of the darkness. He did not recall seeing any lights on the rear porch when he made his investigations shortly after the killing, and he experienced considerable difficulty in getting the locations properly in view of the circumstances. Detective Sergeant Wiltshire, who was detailed on the case the night of its occurrence, testified that in his opinion Russell Walker could easily have seen that the man on the other side of the screen was his father. He said he did not need a light to make his investigations. The officer told of conflicting statements made by young Walker and his mother on the night of the tragedy, and said that fifteen or twenty minutes elapsed before anyone was notified of the shooting. The police even then were not told of the affair, and learned of it only by chance. What the prosecution considered of great importance was the evidence of B. T. Turner, colored, secretary of the Richmond Athletic and Social Club, who told of an attempt by Russell Walker to borrow a pistol from him shortly before the shooting. The son said his father had sent him for the revolver to keep off burglars. Turner said he did not care to trust the boy with the gun, so he took it to Armstead Walker himself. The shooting occured within a few minutes after he delivered the pistol to the elder W lker. Other witnesses testified as to the time which elapsed between the shooting and the giving of the alarm by the Walkers. Commonwealth's Attorney Folkes who conducted the prosecution and H. M. Smith, Jr, who represented the Walkers, did not argue the case and Justice Crutchfield made no comment on the evidence other than to announce that the warrant was dismissed. It was intimated at police headquarters last night that the evidence may be laid before the grand jury. The action of Justice Crutenfield in dismissing the warrant does not bar this course. Russell Walker is a son of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, secretary-treasurer of the Order of St. Luke. CANDIDATES FOR PYTHIAN HONORS Local Sir Knights Interested In Forthcoming Session of the Pythian Grand Lodge at Hagerstown. Local Pythians will leave in large numbers for Hagerstown to attend the session of the Grand Lodge of the Order, which will be held in that city on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. A large number of persons, not members of the Order, will take advantage of the reduced railroad fare which will hold good during the three days of the convention. Arrangements have been made for the entertainment of the visiting Sir Knights, and while the hours of the day will be devoted to the transaction of the business of the Order hearing of reports, etc., the evenings will be devoted to the various social functions which are in charge of the local committee. A number of candidates are being groomed for the various positions within the gift of the Order and a lively time is in prospect when the election takes place Wednesday morning. There seems to be a general sentiment that the present Grand Chancellor, George A. Watty, will be reelected. His election will be opposed by George W. F. McMechen, who is at present vice Grand Chancellor. Influences from within and without the Order have been brought to bear for Mr. Watty to accept a renomination and although he has not as yet made a public statement as regards his candidacy, the general impression is that he will be induced to run again. It is also generally conceded that should Mr. Watty accede to the demands of his friends, he will receive the solid support of the organization forces. It is generally conceded that in this event, it will be almost impossible for Mr. McMechen to win. Mr. McMechen, however is making a determined fight and has assured his friends that he is in the fight to stay. J. Edward Smith and George T. Brent are waging a fight for second place on the ticket and while a hot fight for this position seems imminent, it is possible that an effort will be made to have one of the candidates withdraw and accept the position of master-at arms. W. T. Turner is a candidate for this position and has had assurance of support from many quarters. The contest for medical examiner has been further complicated by the entrance of Dr. U. G. Bourne into the fight. Dr. Charles Fowler and Dr. Harry Brown are the other aspirants. Friends of Dr. Fowler think the entrance of Dr. Bourne Frederick into the fight will slit the opposition to him, thus assuring his election. Dr. Brown's friends, however, are not at all sure of this. They claim that Dr. Bourne will draw a great many of the county votes from Dr. Fowler, thus leaving the balance of power in the city, assuring his (Dr. Brown's) election. In other quarters it is thought that Dr. Bourne, being a county man, will, if he is able to corral the entire county vote, be able to defeat both of the city men. Rev. Manokoo, of Cambridge, may enter the race as Grand Prelate against Rev. J. U. King, of Princess Anne. There are several candidates for representatives to the Grand Lodge. At present it looks as if John Henderson and Thaddeus Copeland have a slight lead over the rest of the field. It is thought that H. M. St. Clair, of Cambridge, will retain his position as treasurer and Josiah Diggs as Grand Keeper of PRICE THREE CENTS Records and Seal. There may be some few changes in the minor positions, but as the interest is so manifest in the leading candidates, it is hard to for any estimate as to these positions. It seems as if the aspirants for these minor positions are "on the fence" at present, ready to hop into the camp of the winning factign. Chestertown may make a fight for the next session, and there are some few who will urge Baltimore but as the holding of the sessions in the counties has been productive of such good in upbuilding the Order throughout the State, it is thought that Baltimore will have small chance of securing the next session. JUDGE GIBBS, PICTURESQUE FORTY-NINER. DEAD Little Rock, Ark., July 15. Judge Mifflin W. Gibbs, lawyer, municipal judge, California pioneer and prominent character of the race for more than six decades, died at his home here Sunday. He was born in Philadelphia in 1822. In early life he learned the carpenter's trade, but the goldfever caused him to forsake this in 1849. He secured the contract and built the first railroad in British Columbia. Returning East nearly fifty years ago, he settled at Oberlin. O. He did not tarry long there, however, coming to this city. In 1872 he was elected a judge of the municipal court. He was a delegate to a number of Republican National Conventions and held several federal positions. President McKinley appointed him consul to Madagascar, the last federal position that he held. He divided his time between Washington and this city, but always regarded Little Rock as his home. Judge Gibbs knew the prominent of both races during the past 60 years. He was a man who made many friends. He is survived by three children—Mrs. Napoleon B. Marshall, of New York city; Horace Gibbs, of Illinois, and Mrs. William H. Hunt, wife of the American consul at St. Etienne, France. ANDERSON APPOINTED CORPORATION COUNSEL Chicago, July 16.—Louis B. Anderson, a well known member of the Chicago bar, has been appointed assistant cooperation counsel by Cooperation Counsel Folson. He was backed by Mayor Thompson, Congressman Madden and State Senator Harding. Mr. Anderson served as assistant county attorney for Cook county from 1908 to 1914, when the position was abolished. He was born in Virginia 43 years ago. He received his academic training at the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute. He then went to Washington, where he worked under Moses P. Handy, a well known newspaper correspondent. When Major Handy was appointed promoter general of the world's fair at Chicago Anderson was named as one of his assistants. In 1894, he entered Kent College of Law, graduating in 1897. The following year he led all the applicants in the civil service examination for the position of assistant county attorney Chicago has two colored men—S. R. Turner and Major R.R. Jackson —in the State legislature. Another colored man—Oscar DePriest—is a member of the Board of Alderment. Numerous positions are held here under the city and federal governments. A colored man is lieutenant of police and several are sergeants. Lovejoy, Ill., July 15.—The annual session of the Illinois Grand Court, Order of Calanthe, came to an end today. The Court had the distinction of being welcomed by a Negro Mayot. ARMY RIGHTS FOR FRENCH COLONISTS Colored Representatives in the Chamber of Deputies Urge Extension of Compulsory Service Paris, July 14.—France may extend its compulsory military service to its Negro subjects. Colored soldiers have rendered valiant service in the present European war, and France has colored soldiers in the regiments recruited in its West Indian and other possessions. Unlike in the United States, colored and white soldiers serve in the same regiments. The question of compulsory army service for French colored subjects came up in a bill offered in the French Chamber of Deputies by M. Diagne, the colored member from Senegal. It provides for the extension of compulsory service to Martinique, Gaudaloupe, Senegal and other French Colonial possessions. The question was debated at length in Chamber of Deputies last Saturday. The question of how to apportion a pension in cases of polygamist Senegalese leaving several widows proves a poser for the Deputies. The Minister of War and the Military Committee of the Chamber approved the general provisions of the Disgne bill, which provides for the incorporation with the regular French forces of the Senegalese subject to compulsory service. The action of the committee was immediately attacked by Deputy Labrouse, who pictured the difficulties arising from the presence in the French Army of soldiers unable to speak French and of different religion and social customs. Deputy Labrouse also raised the question of confusion in the payment of pensions to the widows of polygamous Senegalese. He proposed an amendment providing for the incorporation of such troops in native regiments, entitled to pensions and the other rights of French citizens. The speaker was frequently interrupted by protests from the Negro Deputies Diagne, Lagrosiliere of Martinique and Candace and Boisneuf of Guadeloupe, Lagrosiliere crying amid frantic applause: "Our fellow-citizens ask only to be allowed to serve the mother country, for whom they already have poured out their blood." Paul Deschanel, president of the Chamber, was forced to quell the tumult by declaring that the entire Chamber felt 'the same respect and the same love for all, whatever their race or religion, who are fighting under the folds of the tricolored flag." Deputy Labrouse insisted on special regiments for Senegalese who does not speak French. Deputy Boisneuf interrupted, crying: "I then, demand a special regiment for Frenchmen unable to read and write." Deputy Diagne then obtained the floor and made an eloquent appeal on behalf of the blacks, reviewing the part they had played in conquering the French colonial empire. "For eleven months the Senegalese have demanded to be allowed to serve France," he said; "if they haven't been permitted to do so it is the fault of the Minister of War." Deputy Diagne said that the widows of soldiers ought to receive pensions, even when there were several; but he added: "Native soldiers are not as rich as the average French soldier, who is also poor and, therefore, has only one wife. Polygamy is a luxury of wealth." Alexander Millread, Minister of War, said the Diagne bill seemed to meet the wishes of a majority of the Colonials and urged its passage. The bill was passed without change. MANY WIDE-AWAKE BUSINESS MEN Colonel Midnight Goes to Brown's Grove And Sees Evidences Progress In Many Savannah, Ga.—It is hard to tell what is going on in this world. There are things going on right around us and we don't know anything about it, and you will find this true in Baltimore, because I have been made to sit up and take notice and have had my eyes opened. I have been coming to Baltimore for a few years, and it seems that every time I learn something new. I have gotten much out of my last visit there, and it is my intention to return about September 1, and see what I can see and who I can see. You will just have to wait until then. I am going to attend the session of the National Negro Business League this year for reasons, and will have something to tell you about it. You will just have to go over to it for yourself. I want to see a big crowd there. But now you want to know something about my Baltimore trip. July 4 was Sunday, and I was in New York City. I had the pleasure of visiting a mission started by Dr. R. C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review. Dr. Ransom is a man who was called to preach and he must be preaching. He is giving his church perhaps the best magazine it has ever had, and then he is spending his Sundays in trying to save souls. I had the pleasure of preaching for him Sunday morning. He is earning his place in the church and race. Leaving there I went over to New Jersey to see Rev. A. L. Murray and found him busy but then I must not take up your time to talk about New York and New Jersey. After speaking to men in Jersey City and seeing that big crowd there, I returned to New York got me a bed car. Had the pleasure of seeing Miss Estelle Mason, and others and then left that night for Baltimore. I had accepted an invitation from Capt. Brown to ride on his boat, and believe me he has a sura nuf real boat just like that owned and operated by white folks. Getting in the bed car, I was ready for business the next morning. Reaching the city I went to the home of D. H. Murphy, of the Airo-American Ledger, and was informed by his daughter that he was down to the grove. I got on a street wagon and rode down to where you get on the boat. It seems that the Captain expected me to go, and was looking out for me. Was soon on board of the boat. Capt. Brown just shook my lily black hand and told me he was real glad to see me. He made me feel like I was some pumpkins. Miss Mamie F. Richardson, the bookkeeper, who is in charge of affairs, escorted me to the private dining room of Capt. Brown and served me with a beefsteak as thick as my heel. I enjoyed a good breakfast. I heard the whistle toot one time and was informed that the boat was then ready to start. I saw that man, who is a real live Captain give orders, ring bells, walk around, and watch the movement of his boat just like I see the white men do, and the boat made the turn and was soon under headway. I am now on board the steamer Starlight, headed for Brown's Grove. I was treated with all courtesies. Even allowed to go in a little room on top of the boat. They called it the pilot, and why it is called that I don't know. There was in charge of a great big wheel Pilot Edgar Waters, and he just looked and when he saw another boat would toot the whistle, on down the bay. Perhaps it would be of interest to you to know that all on that boat belonged to us. even the policeman. Chief Engineer is Eugene E. Wayman, and Henry Grimes is his assistant, and there are 16 other people on the bait, not including Mason Brown. the mate. Starlight is indeed an easy rid ing boat. To build it cost about $100,000 and it is owned by us, or by one of our race. Now the grove was reached. I learned many interesting things about the grove and enjoyed the many jokes told me by that Capt. Brown. Brown's Grove was reached about 9:30 o'clock, and I was soon off. Met D. H. Murphy, who was just out of bathing. He had enjoyed a night down there, been fishing and had it looked to me about a million fish, but I guess not so many as that. He is some fisher. Everything to "make one feel good and enjoy himself is to be found down at that place, and we are proud that we have such a place. They are just there all the time. I saw a real goat race, nickle eater going, and eating chicken. It is worth while and I am glad that I have seen for myself. Did you ever go to the market where Walter Langley has a stall? I said a stall, but it strikes me he has seven of them in one market and you can get from him anything you desire. He is some dealer in chicken. He is prepared to furnish spring chickens wholesale or retail, and with that little fat boy and his son, it seems to me that they can pick a million chickens in one hour. It looked to me like that little fat boy picked a chicken every minute in the hour. It is wonderful to see how he can get feathers off of a chicken. Back to Baltimore and to the office. Arnett Murphy is in charge of the business office, and he is a good business young man. He has his clerks around him and keeps them busy as can be all the time. In the office is Mrs. L. S. Henry, who has been there ever since it has been an office and she is some office woman. She has an assistant now. Franklin Johnson is looking after the local news, and D. H. Murphy is foreman in the composing room. John H. Murphy is editor-in-chief, and then there are other Murphys, George Murphy, John Murphy, Jr., and it would take me a long time to tell you all in the office. It is a busy place I am here to tell you, and a real newspaper office. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with that man who has made good in the drug store, Mr. Fennell. He has made all Baltimore take notice of him. It was a pleasure to see him. I stopped in Stokes and Derry's drugstore, Dr. Young's and just a few other places. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with the superintendent of Bethel Sunday School and will accept an invitation which he extended me to visit his home. I did not get to see Dr. J. R. L. Diggs, but met his stenographer, Miss Aria Wilson. She is busy this summer working for her Clayton-Williams College Club. It is becoming a great big club down in Sparrow's Point. Visited Smith's Hotel, and met Tom Smith and his brother Wallace. But it would just take all the paper to tell you what I saw in Baltimore. Editor John H. Murphy was spending sometime in the country, but returned for the celebration. He was in fairly good spirits. Dr. M. C. B. Mason, entered Baltimore. I met him with his wife at the stable and had a little talk with him. He is in Baltimore to have some medical attention. Dr. Mason, was almost a skeleton. I hope he will soon be himself again. I have promised to preach for his people Sunday in Jacksonville. It is hard to tell how many miles I will travel this month. I have already gone 4,867, and I am just started. Send all mail for me to 406 S. Hattie street, Terrell, Texas. I left Baltimore, went to Washington, had a long talk with Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, and then to Roanoke, Va., Marion, Va., Bristol, Knoxville, Atlanta, Ga., and I am now here, but will be away by the time you read this letter. I am here to see Grand Chancellor G. R. Hutto hold his Pythian Grand Lodge. NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS. How the "Grandfather" Clause Works In the Old North State. All manner of schemes are being devised by politicians who wish to continue to deprive the colorful citizens of their right to vote, especially in those southern states which operate the illegal "grandfather" clause. For instance, in North Carolina it is claimed that the "grandfather" clause in that state will not be affected by the recent railing of the federal supreme court, because it applied only between 1900 and 1908. It will be remembered that the North Carolina amendment extended to white men unable to meet the literacy test the right to vote until 1908, when the educational requirement went into effect as applying to all. The "grandfather" clause now protects only those who could not read or write prior to 1908. Many voters took refuge under that clause and went upon what is called "the roll of honor." North Carolina held that the white man by continued employment of the franchise was able to use it understandingly, though unlettered, but that Negroes should read and write. However much some may plot against the just operation of the supreme law of the land, right is going to win in the long run. The battle for human rights under the federal constitution is on, and the colored citizen is going to do his part of the fighting. THE AFRO-AMERICA LEDGER BOY SCOUT NEWS Through the kindness of Mr. Daniel Murphy of the Afro-American Ledger staff the United Boy Scouts of Maryland have an opportunity of spending a day in camp. The encampment is booked for Monday coming—July 19, 1915 at Greenwood Electric Park Catonsville, at the great all day's picnic of Mr. Jack Nelson. The day is expected to be a "red letter" one and boys from all churches in the union are anxious to get their first experiences at union camp. Athletic games and stunts under the direction of Mr. Arnett Murphy, chief Scout director of athletics, assisted by Messrs. Wilson and Welb will occupy the afternoon. Each Scout troop is supposed to "hike" both to and from Catonsville. Cars, automobiles, motorcycles, and other vehicles are supposed to stay at home on this day. Macedonia, Sharon, John Wesley, First Baptist, Centennial and Ebonezer boys had such a fine time at the Safe and Sane Celebration on the 5th of July that they failed to send us their reports for this week. We hope to hear from each next week. Baltimore, Md. July 12, 1915. Our meeting of last Friday evening, July 9, was a very good one. We had a very excellent meeting. One boy was read in as a real Tenderfoot Scout. He was Alphonso Green, the assistant patrol leader of the "flying eagle" patrol. Respectfully, Alphonso Green, official reporter of Waters troop.

Scout Joseph Kelso, Scout Charles Craig, and Scout Alphonso Green of Waters troop "hiked" a seven or eight mile stretch beginning Saturday night about 9 o'clock. They camped in the lonely woods of Cherry Hill all by themselves. At daybreak they arose and cooked breakfast and the "most much." After having a good rest they started for Baltimore striking "home" about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday. Joseph Kelso, reporter. We owe Scout Rufus Gardainer of Sharon an apology for onitting his name in connection with the Scout council meeting at Bethe Thursday, July 1. Scout Gardainer served as Scout "scribe" or secretary at that meeting; and Scout Mickey was his assistant. We understand that both Scout Mickey and Scout Gardainer are good workers and attend well to their patrol and troop duties. Ed. Master Newton E. Parsons, a member and officer of the colored boy Scouts at Salisbury was in the city visiting the Safe and Sane celebration and was much pleased with the work of our Scouts here in Baltimore. The Salisbury scouts are doing some good work so we learn and attend their patrol and troop meetings exceedingly well.

The answer came to a dubioue nation just one year after the enlistment July 18, 1863,at the attack on Fort Wagner. The officer, ‘who believed in the ability ‘of his men, who led them into this baptism of blood that con- vinced America forever of the bravery of the black man, and who fell} just’ as hia regiment reached the paraphet was Robert Gould Shaw. In answer to the relatives’ request for the body of the fallen Colonel came the reply, ‘‘We-have buried him with his .niggers.” Colonel* Shaw’s finaf‘resting place is the family vault in Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Maas., in history, however, his name is in dissolubly, bound to his regiment, the 54th Massachusetts. The mon- umcat on Boston Common, opposite the state house, commemorates more than the life and death of a gallant leader, it recalls to our re- membrance the recognition of the Negro as a soldier 52 years ago. OR. JOHN H, DICKERSON IN TOWN Dr. John H. Dickerson, a well known physician of Ypsilante, Mich., was in the city this week, visiting his mother, Mrs, Dicker- gon, of 1621 W. Lexington treet. He is connected with the Mason, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Elks and other fraternities. He ays he is going to attend the session of the Grand Lodge of Elks at. Chicago next month, and will boost his old home town—Bal- timore—as the: place for holding the next session. HAS ANOTHER ODD EXPERIENCE John W. Cromwell, of 922 S. Sharp street, is a jolly Odd Fellow, but somehow or other he has ex- periences that are odd from those of o her fellows. Two years ago John bought a fractious mule named Maud. - The mule’ spied Master John walking the yard, and broxe out of the stable with a mighty ‘‘Hee Haw!” and made for Brother Cromwell. Up the yard John went at a:2.40 ‘clip and had just cleared steps lead- ing to the kitchen, when Maud’s hoof struck the bottom step. Friends of John claim that he was so frightened: that he ran through the house and down Sharp street yelling ‘murder!”’ and “‘I’Il kill him!’’ Anyhow, Maud had a new owner next day. As if being chased by a mule was not enough, he encountered a luna. tic with an empty pistol’ some months ago. The ‘‘dippy’’ one gave a war whoop and started after Joha, The latter espied the pistol, which was pointed at him, and ran faster than. when Maud was after him, He was going so fast that a flock of birds could have sat upon the horizontal part of his_coattail. Up Sharp street raced John with the Innatiie and the gun behind him. John just. merely glanced around as he turned East of Henri- etta street, and he guickened hit pace. Indeed, he forgot he be longed-to Evenezer Church and rac- ed into the saloon at Henriette street and Peach Alley, where he collapsed from fright. The lunatic was only a.minute behind Jobn anc ran up to.-him, touched with the barrel of the pistol and- hollered, “you're are it??? -John was not himself for weeks after this big-scare, Added to all. thie trouble Johr was looking after one of his horse: Monday, when the big brute ‘tgently’’ trod upon his right foot. The foot was.bruised and John lost the nail on his big toe. John says he.is going to change his name from Cromwell to Trouble, THR AFKG-AMERICAN LEDGER ree ens fener Gee Pee Nees nee te ee Peseete eens, Pop AE naa ede oe INE ER AO IRIN Co fe eas es 22 AS whan pe Be eee eee: AAS es Pag ie ee yee lp ie peony OSE ne Hig bia gitar we ee eg Rb Met Ty: i Ha ue ee mag CoeOR Rami pitas nese nN At pa 38 peeepepaisee pie oes gree eer meme ee ee a eg Pe kamen eipueney GASES ace RRC c OCEAN HOUSE, Sea Isie City, N. J. : M. D. Waller, Proprietor CAPTAIN GEORGE BROWN EXPLAINS During the past two weeks rumors have been flying thick and fast that the new steamer Starlight ia a slow vessel and can not make time on long-distance excursions. This rumor was given currency because the Starlight failed to land its passengers on the excursion giv- en by St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Rev. G. A. Griffiths, rector of the church, is alleged to have stated from his pulpit that the boat was secured over his protest by those who wanted to see a colored com: pany have preference over a white one in running a colored excursion, Thie, he is said to have asserted, resulted in the church not getting the same service that it would have gotten from a white company. Against these rumors, however, I assert that 1 wanted to leave here at 8 o'clock, while Father Griffiths insisted upon 9.30 a. m., as the starting hour. A compromise was reached and the boat left Balti- more at nine o'clock. On the way down the Cheeapeake bay the ves- sel encountered a severe storm, which hindered its progress some- what. Cambridge was sighted a ittle before 5p. m. Father Griffiths and Charles J. Lane ap- proached me to beg that I not land the passengers, as had been previously agreed upon. { urged that the passengers be landed, hut finally gave into the protestants. The church people landed iu Balti- more at 11 o'clock, That the Starlight can fill the pill. was evidenced Monday, July when it carried 900 Odd Fellows and their friends to Cambridge. The Annapoils, started from Balti- more with the lot of excursionists who went with Waters A.M. E. Church. The Starlight reached Cambridge at 1.40 p. m., and immediately landed its passengers, The Anna- polis did not reach, there until 2.32. ‘The latter boat steamed away from Cambridge at 3.55 leaving behind some passengers. The Starlight brought back the belated excursion- ists who sailed from Baltimore on the Annapolis, leaving Cambridge at 4.10. As the Odd Fellows did not want to return to Baltimore too soon, the. Starlight steamed leigurely up the Bay, arriving back in Baltimore but a few minutes be- hind the Annapolis. 1 wanted to give St. Mary's 'Chureh and its rector the same con- sideration that I would have ac- corded Rev. J, A. Holmes, W. Edward Williams,George F. Bragg and the pastors of any other church. During the nine years we have been in the excursion-busi- ness St. Mary’s Church has only patronized us twice. The Odd Fellows were lavish in their praise of the auccessful way their ex- cursion. was handled last Monday. CAPT.

IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of my dear brother, Robert Wells, who died one year ago, July 14, 1824. Twelve long years have passed away Since God so suddenly called you away; I loved you dear, God loved you best And took you home with him to rest. Had I been with you at the last and heid your dying hand And heard the last sigh of your heart I would not feel so bad. By his devoted sister, Emma Jenkins. In loving remembrance of our dear sister, Alice Gilbert, who passed away, April 10, 1910. Why should our tears in sorrow Why should our tears in sorrow show. When God recalls his own, And bids us leave a world of woe, For an immortal home. In loving memory of our sister, Julia Monroe, who departed this life, April 18, 1911. Sleep in dear one, under the sod When our soul smears life's shadows fires. Oh! glorious thought, we shall ever be with thee. In sad but loving remembrance of my dear mother, Martina A. Monroe, who departed this life one year ago today, July 15, 1814. It was a bitter pain, a shock You have won a crown in heaven By the pain you suffered here. Than let our sorrows cease to flow. God has recalled his own: But let our hearts in every woe. Still say, "Thy will be done" By their sister and daughters, Eatie Wallace, 505 Hoffman street. In sad but loving remembrance of our dear husband and kind father, William Fletcher Dixon, who died one year ago, July 5, 1914. A loving one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stillled A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. Hour by hour we saw him fade And slowly sink way; Yet in our hearts we prayed That he may longer stay. In silence he suffered. In patience he bore Until God called him home To suffer, no more. By his loving wife and children. ANRAPOLIS NOTES Annapolis, Md., July 16.—The citizens of Annapolis held a large and enthusiastic meeting at Mt. Morish A. M. E. Church, Sunday, July 11. Rev. J. A.

GOLUMBUS FOLK ARE PROGRESSIVE VICTORY FOR LOCAL ORDER Supreme Lodge Entertainment Committee Puts Quietus on Wild Rumor of inadequate Accommodations For Delegates and Visitors to Mammoth Pyritian Encampment in August. Continuous—The problem of securing sufficient homes and hotel accommodations for the delegates and visitors to the great meeting of the Knights of Rythms to be held is this city in August is rapidly being solved by the supreme lodge local committee here. The gathering marks the eighteenth biennial session of the supreme lodge of the Knights of Rythms of the World and the eighth biennial session of the establishment of the uniform rank department and also the sixteenth biennial session of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. The problem at first appeared a little difficult to the executive committee, but it quickly decided upon a plan under which the city has been divided into districts and two or three members of the committee assigned to work in each district. As a result of this system, which has been operated with a half degree of accuracy, accommodations for more than 15,000 persons have already been secured. The committee is directing a progressive campaign, and records at headquarters show that accommodations, for more than 15,000 people, were reported as early June 15. When the cards are all ubiquitous, which are due to be filled July 10 toomes for over 25,000 persons will more than a million of this city morgans than nine years ago) were able to accommodate migrants. The B. M. C. (a national organization on the Grand United States Air Force) which brought to this city some 2,000 or 30,000 visitors, although there were rumors then that the colored people would not be able to take care of such a large convention. The colored citizens of this city a little less than seven years ago accommodated the national Baptist convention, the largest of its kind among our people. The colored people of Columbus will accommodate adequately and comfortably the Knights of Lythians and the members of the Court of Calamite and visitors who will attend this convention. All of the subordinate bolognese and courts of Calamite and the Commons chamber of commerce have contributed money to help make the supreme session and enactment a success. The colored people to general are co-operating with the local committee in the furtherance of the plan of making the session a succession one. The citizens' committee, consisting of twenty-five prominent members of different trenurial orders of the city, who are not members of the Knights of Lythians, have accepted positions as members of the citizens' committee and are co-operating daily with the executive committee. When the I. M. C. and the national lighting convention convened in this city several years ago, as has been referred to, the colored people of this city were not as well prepared to a commodities fair entertainment in the way homes, factories or MSGs people are now today. It has been said that the temples behemoths during the last few years the colored people of this city are going public and that they give oceanum books and squares in large numbers, and in paintings that they have here no known to own property and therefore are presented to commodities many subsidiaries the many thousands of guests who will be attending at the congress of I. P. session. The executive committee, however, its authority to be doubtless appointed it will have sufficient home, is able arranging for furnish, and occupy or three buildings for more nurseries. It is necessary, which have never been used for their purposes, which have account of business the question, have been suspended. Mrs. Mary Lee, who is in charge of the economic department of the Young Street branch of the Young Men's Christian association, has been granted permission by the committee of management of the Young street association to use the staff, auditorium for dining purposes during the week of the conversion. More than 100 people can be taken care of at one time under the new arrangement. Professor J. H. Jackson, the executive secretary of the Young Men's Christian association, reported that he will be able to accommodate some fifty or seventy-five men with rooms. Special notice has been received by the local committee that the Missouri brigade uniform rank, over 700 strong, in a splendidly equipped special train, with a commissary car attached, will leave St. Louis Aug. 14, at 11:30pm, over the B. and O. Southwestern railroad for this city under the command of assistant Adjunant Frank Peggson and Brigadier General William L. Butter. A similar notice has been received by the committee that the Pittsburgh brigade uniform rank, over 600 strong, will leave Titrisburg in a spe- Opportunity Afforded Our Youth at the Durham School, Philadelphia. A great work of uplift for the boys and girls of our race is being done by the Durham school, Sixteenth and Lombard streets, Philadelphia, in working its policy of bringing into the school those occupations that demand large numbers of colored boys and girls the school has many educational features that are to be found in few other schools. The enrollment of 1,000 pupils in the school is given that kind of instruction in various lines of endeavor which will tend to promote efficiency in their after school life. For the boys there are classes in tailoring, carpenter work and, other trades, while the girls are trained in plain cooking, sewing and numerous other branches. A good deal of attention is paid to the service branch of the domestic science department, and as a result scores of girls leave school to become efficient nurserymen. The cooking course is one of great popularity among the girls, and more than 200 of them work daily in the scientific kitchen in the school building. In the tailoring shop for boys, the only one of its kind to be found in the state, instruction in every branch of the tailoring business is given. During the two year course in this branch the student learns first of all how to clean, press and repair clothes. After these first lessons have been mastered students take up the more difficult task of making clothes. They learn how to measure and cut trousers and make them up, and then they are given instruction in the higher art of coat making.

Chronic sufferers have either come to the conclusion that there is no cure for them or else they are dragging alarms after all other treatments, mixtures with the hope that they gain from them some little relief. It is from this class of sufferers that THE BALTIMORE SPECIALIST'S Method of treating Nervous and Chronic Diseases claim attention.

Lllyod Gibbs, an old Baltimorean, was the star of the evening: He was ably assisted by Mrs. Anna Hazelton Lee and Nelson Tuninstall. The trios and duets, several of which were sung were exceptionally well rendered, the voices blending in rhythmic harmony. Of several merit were the several solos that each of the artists sung. Mr. Gibbs has not lived in the city for the past decade. He has been singing with a number of aggregations, and everywhere he has added to the reputation of Baltimore singers.
