The Afro-American

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION BY BUSINESS MEN For Attorney-General ALBERT A. DOUR FOR GOVERNOR OVINGTON E. WELLER ELECTION SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND, 1925 VOL. XXIV. NO. 9 DR. ALGIRE'S EXPLANATION That he has been grossly misrepresented as to his attitude as coroner in the Guth murder case is the assertion made by Dr. Harry C. Algire, now Republican candidate for Register of Wills. The severe attacks that have been made on Dr. Algire by the colored people of this city have greatly alarm-d the white Republicans down town and they have been making herculean efforts to try to stem the increasing tide of resentment and opposition. "Any intimation that I used any sinister or other influence to have the coroner's jury bring in a verdict exonerating Charles G. Guth is absolutely false," Dr. Algire told a representative of the Afro-American Ledger. "I never saw Guth before the inquest and I have not seen him since. I had no interest in George H. Murphy, the man who was shot by Guth. I deny as absolutely false the allegation that I summoned a jury of boys. I took no more interest in the case than my official duties imposed. While the jury was deliberating I was out of their room. "I have never willfully done an injury to any man, white or colored. It is not that I far these attacks in a political way, but they are grievous to me because they involve my honor. All a man may have that is sacred is wrapped up in his probity and he certainly desires the good opinions of his fellow citizens. All I can say that in no instance in the Guth case did I try to shape things to have Guth, exonerated and there can be nothing brought forward to show that I did." Despite the efforts of Dr. Algire and his friends to stop the growing opposition to his candidacy, it seems to be of no avail. He and his friends have sought certain colored men, including a number of ministers to spread the news that "Algire is alright!" Some of these men were loudest in criticising him following the inquest two years ago. Several of the ministers now singl The facts in the Guth murder case are briefly: Chaundy Guth became angry with I's colored chauffeur, George H. Murphy, regarding the latter's buildup a bottle of milk and shot him. According to the many of Mary Moss, the only eyewitness to the crime, the slain man had no weapon of any kind are Guth went upstairs got his skirt and went to the garage, where the fatal shooting took place. Guth's wife and another woman were allowed to testify, and their statements were to the effect that Murphy had a weapon of some sort and terrorized things. The coroner's jury had no right to exonerate Guth, its duties being to establish the fact as to how Murphy came to his death. Its verdict went so far as to say that Guth killed Murphy in self-defense and the Baltimore Sun, of September 20, 1918, quotes Cononer Algire as saying to Guth on the night of the inquest, "I take great pleasure in awarding you your freedom," The verdict of the Coroner's jury was the occasion for general indignation among the colored people of Baltimore, the belief being that on the testimony of Mary Moss alone the case should have been sent on to the Grand Jury. The colored citizens raised several hundred dollars and succeeded in having the case brought to the attention of the Grand Jury, but that body gave the same rotten verdict that the jury summoned by Coroner Algire gave. PROMINENT PIONEER SCHOOL TEACHER DAD Mrs. Ada Jackson Duffin, one of the best known women in the State, died at A. M. E. Home for the Aged Sunday. She had been suffering from heart trouble for some time, and only a week before her death had returned from Provident Hospital, where she had been a patient for four weeks. She ate a hearty dinner Sunday and was in fine spirits when the fatal attack came. The deceased was born in this city about 60 years ago. She was educated at the old Baltimore Normal School, and with her mother, the late Mrs. Adele Jackson, conducted a private school for years' She was a daughter of the late James Jackson, well known as "Mahogany Head' Jackson, an influential figure in local politics two generations ago. She was a grand-daughter of the late Henry Martin, a prominent figure here prior to the Civil War. Mrs. Duffin was member of several branches of the Masonic Order, Bethel Council of the Independent Order of St. Luke and Supreme Court of Calanthe. Knights of Pythias, Eastern and Western Hemisphers. She was married ten years ago to Mr. Enoch L. Duffin, who survives. BIG TEMPERANCE MEETINGS A Total Abstainers' Prohibition Campaign will begin this Sunday with special meetings in a number of churches and continue for one week. The campaign will be waged under the direction of Rev. J. N. Coggin of Georgia, field secretary of the Temperance Society of the M. E. Church, and T. Edward Johnson, of the temperance society of the Sunday school of Metropolitan M. E. Church. The opening rally will be held at Ames Memorial M. E. Church this Sunday morning followed by one at John Wesley M. E. Church in the afternoon and one at St. Matthw's Church, Turners Station, at night. A big meeting will be held at First Baptist Church Tuesday night and Asbury M. E. Church, Annapolis Friday night. On Sunday, October 31, rallies will be held at several churches. A.M.E. MID-YEAR CONFERENCE "Warring Nation's Have Gotten Away From Teaching Of Bible" Declares Bishop Coppin. That the present European conflict means that the colored races will get a better foothold in the world's affairs was assert d by Bishop L. J. Coppin at the midyear session of the Baltimore Conference of the A. M. E. Church at B-thel Church Thursday. He said that the present strife indicated that the race involved had gotten away from the teachings of the Bible and that the Lord hardly was taking sides with any. "Now is the time for us to lav aside sinful ways," he went or to say, "and bend our efforts to be in the vanguard of progress, spiritual and temporal. The races now involved in war will be retarded for some years and that is our opportunity." The ministers present turned over $1,300, which will be used in helping to liquidate the debt on the A. M. E. Home for the Aged and for conferences expenses. Plans were considered looking to a big movement to raise $75,000 for the liquidation of the debt on B thel Church. Organizations in churches, organizations and many to be formed for this especial purpose will be the medium through the goal will be sought. The conference voted to hold its next annual session at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, Washington. The church was selected last May as the place for the next annual session, but the trustees refused to entertain same. Bethel Church, this city, was then chosen. Bishop John Hurst and Rev. Dr. B. F. Watson delivered addresses during the day. A Christian Endeavor rally was held at night with R. A. Tucker as chief speaker and one for Sunday schools with George S. Whyte as speaker. Prof William Pickens spoke on "Segregation." Rev. L. M. Beckett was appointed presiding eld-r of the Potomac district to succeed the late Rev. C. W. Morsell and Rev. L. S. Flagg sent to Havre de Grace to take the place of Rev. Beckett. DROPS DEAD IN CHURCH As she was climbing the steps leading to the choir at St. John's A. M.E. Church last Sunday night, Miss Sarah Brown, of 411 Myrtle avenue, was taken suddenly ill and died before medical assistance could reach her. She had been suffering from asthma and heart trouble 10 some time, but did not relinquish her work as a member of the choir. Funeral services were held at St. John's A. M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon, Revs. P. W. Wortham officiating. CANDIDATES ON THE MOVE Republican Success Assured If Right Steps Are Taken To Awaken Apathetic Voter. While Ovington E. Weller, Republican candidate for Governor, and his running mates, Albert A. Doub and Robert F. Duer, are making an active campaign, there is apparently less ginger in the fight than when Goldsborough was elected four years ago. The greater part of the work being done at headquarters seem to be get white voters in line for the ticket, while not much effective work is being done among colored voters. Four years ago the colored voters were well organized and carried their fight to all sections of the State. They had headquarters of their own and succeeded admirably in lining-up the nearly 50,000 colored voters of Maryland for the ticket. There are now 16,672 colored voters registered in Baltimore city. The great majority of these can be gotten to support the Republican ticket, but effective work must be done before this can be accomplished. While it is generally conceded that Mr. Weller would make a fine chief executive for Maryland from the standpoint of demonstrated efficiency in handling big problems, yet there is not much enthusiasm among colored voters toward his candidacy. The candidates for the various officers have been working ardously. The Democrats seem to be scared regarding the outcome of the approaching election judging by the "gum shoe" campaign that friends of some of the Democratic candidates are making among colored voters. The friends of Willie Curran are singing his praises in an effort to get some of the colored voters to desert State's Attorney William F. Broening. There has been a quiet effort to get several colored voters to support men. Messrs. Curran and Biggs were among the Democratic lawyers whose names appeared in the Baltimore Sun, of October 25, 1909, as signers of a petition asking that the white people of Maryland vote for the Straus disfranchising amendment. Now these gentlemen are candidates for public office and welcome the very class of voters that they voted to rob of the right to vote in 1909. William F. Broening is making good headway in his campaign for reelection as State's Attorney. His friends point to the fine record that he has made in the office and assets that he should easily d-feat Curran. Harry W. Nice is looking after the political end of Mr. Broening's fight. The friends of Judge Morris A. Soper are working ardently for his reelection, while John J. Hanson, chairman of the City Committee and candidate for Clerk of the Criminal Court, has received many assurances of support. Former Collector William F. Stone has been spending his evenings at headquarters trying to get things into shape. Senator William P. Jackson spent several days here this week in getting a line on the situation and straightening out tangles here and there. The Lincoln R publican League has arranged to hold a number of meetings next week. Colored men who are lukewarm regarding the success of the Republican ticket should take heed of the fact that Democratic orators are lambasting the Negro in their efforts to make votes for Harrington. "The quiet campaign that the PRICE THREE CENTS Democrats are making in their meetings against the Negro and the "gum shoe" tactics now being practiced to get some support from colored voters indicate that they believe that Mr. Weller will be a hard man to beat, especially since so many men of independent proclivities are declaring for him. MISS SLOWE FOR WOMEN'S SUFFERAGE In an address on "The Relation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to the Suffrage Movement" at Sharp Street Memorial. M. E. Church Tuesday night, Miss Lucy D. Slowe asserted that women need the right to vote as they are taxpayers, homemakers and deeply interested in all movements for civic betterment. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People," Miss Slowe went on to say, "stands for justice to all humanity. Its purpose is to break down prejudice and discrimination of all kinds, and against all people. Therefore, it is in favor of universal male suffrage and universal female suffrage, for it could not support the one without supporting the other. It knows only too well that the voteless group in any republic is a helpless one. To a large extent the Negro in this republic is voteless and, therefore, helpless." A VERY PRETTY WEDDING A very pretty wedding took place at Macedonia Baptist Church of Baltimore, October 6, 1415. The contracting parties were Mr. Garfield Brown, of Roland Park and Miss Ruth Scott, of this city. The church was richly decorated with palms and cut flowers. The ceremony was performed by Rev.D.G. Mack, D.D., in the presence of a large assemblage of relatives and friends of the couple. The bride who was handsomely attired in a white taffetta satin French court train costume, with hassan centre and duchess lace trimmings, carried a shower bouquet of roses. A tulle veil wreathed in orange blossoms. A Tiarra studded with gems completed the head dress. The bride was given away by her stepfather, Mr. William E. Stokes, who was met at the altar by the groom, who was attended by his best man, Mr. Samuel Fitchett. The bride was attended by Miss Iva Carpenter, maid of honor who wore a pink swiss taffeta, trimmed with filia lace and silver trimming, carrying a boquet of white carnations. Miss Rebecca Clark as maid of honor, wore a changable light green swiss taffetta with silver trimmings, a boquet of pink carnations. Miss Inez Mason, flower girl. Master Avon Cook was ring bearer The ushers were Messrs. Clayton Gant, Marlo Saunders, Courtland Brown. Arthur Stansbury. Out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. William Stokes of Washington; Mr. and Mrs. John Brown of Annapolis. The gifts were numerous and handsome. Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Brown were at home to their many friends Sunday, October 10th, at 8 Dewery avenue, Heathbrook, the new home recently built and owned by Mr. Brown before his marriage. The happy couple desire to thank their many friends for the valuable bridal presents received.

Anderson, president;Mr. J. Clarence Chambers, first vice president; Mr. Ralph V. Cook, second vice president; Mr. Wm. T. Griggs, secretary;Mr. Levi W. Moore, treasurer.

WOMEN DISCUSS MISSION CAUSE WOMEN DISCUSS MISSION CAUSE Nearly Ten Thousand Dollars Sent To Africa By Parent Mite Missionary Society Ot A.M.E. Church. Detroit, Mich., October 22.—Plans for extending the influence of the Parent Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church are being discussed at the sixth quadrennial session of the body, which opened at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Napoleon and Hastings streets, yesterday. The convention will continue until Monday, when officers for the next four years will be reelected and installed. The session has attracted prominent women from all sections of the country, all interested in the cause of missions. Bishops B. F. Lee, C. T. Shaffer and Evans Tyree are in attendance. The annual address of the president, Mrs. Mary F. Handy, which was delivered this morning, was a general review of the four year's work. She told of the society's having sent $9,600 to West Africa during the past four years and of $1,200 to South Africa within the same period. She paid a splendid tribute to Mrs. Laura Lemon Turner, the recently deceased president of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church, and urged that efforts be made to have the society merged into theirs. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society is an offshoot of the Parent Society and was organized nineteen years ago. The Parent Society was organized 41 years ago and has raised over $60,000 during the past four years. Half of this money was turned over to Dr. J. W. Rankin, secretary of missions, for distribution. Memorial services for Mrs. Turner, the late Mrs. Amanda Smith, the noted character, Mrs. Fannie J. Coppin and for Mrs. Sarah Tanner, for many years treasurer of the society, were held today.

HOME COMING BIG SUCCESS The Home Coming night at the Association building was a big success. The affair was held Thursday, October 14, and a special program was arranged with invitations to all association men, past and present. At 8.30 p. m., the men commenced to file into the building, the billiard room was soon crowded and the club room was filled also, in fact, the real old time social commenced. The Alphian Glee Club, a group of association men commenced singing in the front parlor or lobby and the whole building was like a bee hive, everybody laughing, smiling and chatting, such a sight never happened before at the present building. At 9.30 p. m. the chairman, Mr. George B. Murphy called for order and in a few choice words bore the welcome greetings to the men. At this time when everybody was set for a good old time, Mr. Greenwood, one of the old workers talk on the early history of the association and how the work has grown in late years and pledged his support and made an appeal for the aid of all. The next on the program was "My Impressions of the $100,000, Y. M. C. A. buildings visited this summer." The response was made by Dr. McCard, Wright and J. P. Evans. Each man gave an interesting account of the New buildings visited and each one was impressed by the visit to these buildings and thought that Baltimore was a bit behind and these men urged the men and members to get busy. One said "What others can do, we can do." Next was the awarding of medals to the winners of the tennis tournament in "A" and "B" classes. President James A. B. Callis, presented the first medal to Mr. Ralph W. Reckling and Dr. H. E. Young presented the second medal to Emerson Hillen. This was a new feature in the work here and it created much interest. Dr. L. Z. Johnson gave a masterful address on "Our Opportunity" the gem of the evening and every one felt the stinging words of this eloquent exponent of truth. At the close of Dr. Johnson's remarks, the social committee got busy and the boys had a great chat. Secretary Booker in a very few words outlined the program for the fall and said "that the work was a man's job." The spirit of his talk, as well as the spirit of every speaker, was "get-to-gether". The building was filled, men were sitting on steps, window sills, chairs, tables and even the floor. It looked like a "Y". Every man left for his home feeling fine and ready to share his part in the final effort to secure for Baltimore a modern building. WASHINGTON CONCERT ORCHESTRA Don't forgett!

In which column will your name THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER JUDGE SOPER THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE Indorsement of the candidacy of the Honorable Morris A. Soper to succeed himself, as Chief Judge of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, by the colored members of the Baltimore Bar. To the colored voters of Baltimore City: Judge Morris A. Soper has been on the bench nearly two years, comparatively a short time, but during that period he has displayed, to an unusual degree, those very rare qualities that enter into the making of an acceptable judge. He is in the prime of life, with all of his physical and mental powers alert and active. He is temperamentally constituted for performance of the exacting and responsible duties of the position to which he has been nominated. The proper administration of the law "which hears before it condemns" requires full and particular inquiry. Reasonable opportunity to be heard, without irritability or rush on the part of the presiding judge, is the first step towards justice. Nature has endowed Judge Soper with splendid gifts of head and heart; training, education and association with mankind generally have expanded those powers and so nicely balanced them that it may be truly said, he embodies the judicial poise to a remarkable degree. The almost unanimous verdict of the entire bar is that his rulings have been uniformly impartial and fair and have exhibited a profound knowledge of the law. His deportment—his life measures up to the highest standard set for the individual citizen and his whole professional career reflects abundant credit upon the loftiest traditions of the bench and bar. He is, to our minds, the ideal agency, that the law contemplates, for the administration of justice. Connected however, with Judge Soper's candidacy is another matter of grave importance. Beginning far back with the 'new-judge-movement,' the colored voters of this city have taken an active and creditable part in every movement that has had for its object the divorcement of the judiciary from ordinary politics. They have rigorously adhered to the idea that, if good government is to be ever fully realized, it must come largely through an intelligent, incorruptible and fearless judiciary. Thus, some years ago, when former Chief Judge Harlan, of the Supreme Bench, was a candidate, on the Democratic ticket to succeed himself, the colored members of the bar did not hesitate to indorse his honorable record nor to submit favorably his candidacy to the colored voters of Baltimore City. It happens, in this instance, that Judge Soper is a Republican and a candidate on the Republican ticket. For these reasons, we cordially indorse the candidacy of Judge Soper for Chief Judge of the Supreme Bench to succeed himself and commend him to the favorable consideration of the colored voters of Baltimore City.

BALTIMORE, OCT. 23, 1915 The colored people of Topeka, Kansas, made the mistake of their lives, when without protest and insistence on the Kansas Civil-Rights Law, colored children were segregated in the grades. This realization is just now becoming evident since Superintendent Wilson ordered the Madison School closed because of the falling off in attendance. Colored children are now being carried across the city to another colored school out of their section. Too late now they protest. The pageant, "The Star of Ethiopia" would lend itself readily to production in form of moving pictures. We suggest to the Horizon Guild producing company that they take this means of reaching the smaller towns which they do not intend to enter with real players. Leading colored Democrats and among them Editor W. M. Trotten of Boston were active three years ago in endorsing Woodrow Wilson for president. Editor Trott-r is now conducting a campaign against the reelection of W. W. declaring him a jim-crow President. Mr. Trotten has carried his fight to the Democratic state committee. "A wise man changes his mind, a fool never." In season and out of season the press of Ohio, led by the "Cleveland and Gazette," has waged a persistent and effective war against the production of the "Birth of the Nation" in their state. Plays of this type may not be given the word of the governor and this official assurance is due in largest m-asure to the indefatigable efforts of Hon. Harry C. Smith of the "Gazette." Out of evil comes good, not always visible, not always immediate. "The Truth about the Colored Race" a magnificent and sensational moving picture film shown in New York; "The Spirit of Tuskegee" a drama in five acts by L. W. Washington, to be shown in Chicago; the Pageant "Star of Ethiopia" presented in Washington. All of these attempt to countact the evidence of the "Birth of a Nation," and might not have arisen without it. "Pert little colored Miss steals taste of real life." News heading, Indianapolis Ledger. A ten year old colored girl) inspired by the movies stole an auto and after going some distance drove it against a telegraph pole. Asleep in the tonneau, her dolly in her arms, Ida Herbert was found and taken into custody by a police man. The question in our minds is what the "taste of real life" is; the auto itself or the joy ride. In either case there are quite a few people who have not yet tasted real life, or care to. In the current number of the New York Independent, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, under the caption of "Are Negro Women Making Good," calls attention to a woman's movement, the extent and importance of which are hardly realized. According to Mrs. Washington 20, 000 of United States' 2,000,000 are banded together in a National Women's Club Movement taking in the whole country. The subjects discussed at these meetings are not hypothetical, but practical and calculated to improve conditions under which Negroes are living. For example one club topic quoted was "How to make hard water soft" and another "How shall I keep the affection of my husband," and another "How many little babies have been born in my community in the last twelve months and where are they?" Not only are the discussions practical but the clubs are engaged in constructive work;in Indiana, a tuberculosis camp, in New York, an old folks home, and in Alabama a boys' reformatory. Knowing these things Mrs. Washington concludes, can anyone ask "are Negro women making good?" THE NEW RELIGION It is an unusual event when men who occupy a high place in doing the work of the world, make a public utterance on the subject of religion. Such men may be divided roughly into two classes: those who have that little or not at all about religion, are orthodox therefore, and follow humbly in the footstep of their fathers; or those who have that quite a deal about it and in thinking have applied to religion and worship the same rational processes that have enabled them to get ahead in the world of business. In either case the influence of these men has be n negligible. Were they as first mentioned reactionaries, little could be expected of them; were they as mentioned in the scond instance progressives, then in the fear of adverse criticism, of crucifixion even, they have withdrawn from the church or from meetings where religion in its positive aspect is at all likely to be discussed. John D. Rockefeller, devoted church member and teacher of a Bible class is clearly a member of the first group of reactivaries. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, until recently, might have been counted among the second group. For nearly a d cade the Doctor was a professor and dean at Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., and during this time avoided the Sunday School and the Bible class, whenever h· could, because he knew that in justice to himself, he could not teach things that he did not believe, and if he were frank and open, the college men must lose b liefs prevalent in the homes to which they returned, beliefs thoroly grounded and not to be given up without a struggle. Dr. DuBois' address before the Washington Y. M. C. A. last Sunday on the subject the "New Religion" may be regarded as change of front on his part, marking a realization that his duty is not only to see the truth but to proclaim it to others. His address was as usual definite and well organized. Eight elem-nts were conceived to make up the new religion: The world has got to change the present ideas of WORK and WAJES. Every human being must work because the work of the world must be done or trouble and moral destruction result. (2) The present idea is that you get all you can and this must be change-d to get all you can earn. Stockbrokers of Wall street were termed "heathen" and organized "thieves" whose success does not depend on hard work or efficiency, but on gambling in stocks. "New Religion" includes as well attention to health. Health is no longer a matter of personal well being only, affecting the individual and no other. As a matter of contagion, of duty to coming generations and obligation to daily work, health in its meaning is social. On the question of Beauty (4) Dr. DuBois was perhaps more vague than he realized. He was contented here to suggest that ideals should be individual rather than general; that one should wear what he pleased without fear of ridicule. To the contrary in the discussion of relations between the sexes (5) more than usual frankness was noted. Until now we have felt that women had the right to be beautiful in dress and form but that thy should, belong to reverence and obey men. The result, said the Doctor, has been unhappiness and prostitution. In the "New Religion", men are going to treat women as fellow men—marriage is going to be a partnership. With the world's relationship to children, its attitude toward Truth and Rever nce, Dr. DuBois concluded his address. Of the first he remarked that there is no progress without children, that men and women both married and single have got to look ahead to the next generation, whether or not it comes THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER in their own children. The present attitude towards Truth was characterized as the most unfortunate thing in the religious situation. The misinterpretation of biblical truths has come thru ignorance, said the Doctor, and dogmas and quiribbling will only cease with intelligence. For himself, he remarked "I do not believe that the sun stood still for Joshua." Anyone else might believe it who wishes, but this affects only my belief and is in no sense a part of my religion. Finally, said he there is Reverence for other human souls. It is a great thing to learn that others have rights that we are to respect, and to realize that it is for this reason, that the individual is not free to act as he pleases. certain classes of colored women get them to vote for him. Biggs in 1909, was in stripping us of our right of the dearest right we pooled American citizens, we cannot now see, where either or his friends have any claim our support. We appeal to the colorate of this city to stand loath Judge Soper, who is a fearful incorruptible jurist and who trying times when our were trying to reduce us to cal vassalage stood loyally by. NEWS OF THE MOVIE BIG CROWDS AT THE C Certainly Dr. DuBois conception of ideas that must go to form a "New Religion," while they may not meet with universal approval, are far different from the dry-asdust moralizing one is accustom to hearing, and more than this, what he said here is just as acceptable and as interesting as anything he has said or written on the question of Negro History. CORONER ALGIRE The Afro-American Ledger intends to be fair in its criticism of all men and measures that may come under its notice and such criticism is never made from a personal standpoint nor from any personal motive whatever. We have no ax to grind, but we do in every instance try to have the very best int rest of the race, we serve, at heart. In the case of Coroner Algire, we have no personal interest whatever. So to that end, we accorded an interview to that gentleman last week after the editorial and news item appeared in this paper. We have not only given due consideration to the interview but have made a careful investigation on all of the facts in the case and, looking at it from every angle, we find no reason to change from our original position. That is, if Coroner Aligne was not guilty of a sin of commission, he surely was guilty of a sin of omission. That he was biased, in the case, is fully exhibited by his remarks to Guth made at the trial of the case (by the Coroner's jury) and quoted in "The Sun" of September 20, 1918, when he said, taking Guth by the hand, that he took "great pleasure in giving him his freedom". If Coroner Aligne was acting purely as a judge to view the whole case impersonally, as was his duty to do, why this ecstatic felicity when the jury returned a v-rdict that the slaying of Murphy was done in self-defence? It as a peroxim of gratification boldly expressed, quite unusual if not reprehensible for a judicial officer, and without doubt disclosed his mental attitude. This is the rational and only inference. From this view of Coroner Aligne's conduct certain other things connected with the trial may become apparent. Why did Mr. Aligne select a jury of youths, most of whom bowed and smiled to Mr. R. B. Tippett—Guth's Counsel, as they passed into the trial room? The prejudice of ordinary white men not to convict a white man for the murder of any Negro, was well known to him. Why was not more care taken in the selection of the jury? Why was Mary Tessor, the bohemian woman, permitted to testify before that jury without being sworn? Here was a homicide being inquired into and public sentiment was around, at least on the part of a large number of citizens, and notwithstanding that, a very important witness is permitted to make a statement which might influence the jury one way or the other, without the sanction of an oath. The stenographic report of the testimony of Mary Moss was sufficient in itself to convince any ordinary jury that a murder had been committed but yet her testimony, not impeached nor broken down, was wholly disregarded. If no other witness had been examined, Guth should have been held for the action of the grand jury by that inquest. The more we look into this case, the more firmly convinced are we that it was the grossest miscarriage of justice in the history of criminal cas s in the city of Baltimore, and it is our deliberate judgment that the constituted authorities, represented in the Coroner, who conducted the inquest was culpably remiss in his duty. STAND BY JUDGE SOPER Mr. Robert Biggs, who is the candidate of the Democratic party for Chief Judge* for Supreme Bench of Baltimore city in opposition to Chief Judge Soper, favored the Disfranchisement Amendment in 1909 and publicly indicted it, in a single petition published in "The Sun" of October 25th, 1909. It is rumored that Mr. Biggs' friends are making strenuous efforts among certain classes of colored voters to get them to vote for him. If Mr. Biggs in 1909, was in favor of stripping us of our right of suffrage the dearest right we possess, as American citizens, we certainly cannot now see, where either he or his friends have any claim upon our support. We appeal to the colored voters of this city to stand loyally by Judge Soper, who is a fearless and incorruptible jurist and who in the trying times when our enemies were trying to reduce us to political vassalage stood loyally by us. NEWS OF THE MOVIES BIG CROWDS AT THE CAREY The offerings at the Carey Theater, Baltimore's newest playhouse for colored people, continue to attract large audiences.

FIRST ANNIVERSARY October 28, 1915 Through the m-dium of this paper on the occasion of our first anniversary we wish to return heartfelt thanks for cooperation and support of the g-general public who has maintained and enabled the shop to celebrate its one year old birthday, October 24, 1915. Our ambition is to make this enterprise measure up to the highest point—eventually a department barbershop in keeping with the progressive cities' advancement. During the summer months we realized there would be an exodus among our regular supporters owing to the vacation season, which lures many away. We also realized Baltimore is a large commercial centre, and many tourists and visitors must come here for business and social reasons during this period. So we made an effort to capture comm-reial patronage, working with commercial ideas, which proved fitting and we were enabled to maintain a standard of normal business throughout the summer. This movement also broadened our ideas as it brought us in contact with commercial, professional and business men from various States. They encouraged us by stating they would advertise our method in their native States. augurated with a loyal policy toward its if, the public is thereby benefitted and will join in its support. Daily observation proves to us that colored enterprises might command the patronage of any race in its local community when clean business competition is offered. We solicit your patronage and hope to make our New Year even a greater success with your devoted cooperation. Very truly, CHARLES S. SANDERS RECEPTION Mrs. Emma Butler, 617 N.

Coo aa MeGuwen: Bape ° THE AFRO'S COURSE COMMENDED Waterbury, Conn., Oct. 20, 1915. Editor Afro-American Ledger In this day of commercialism and inordinate ambition for political office it is really refreshing to find one Negro journal whose principles are not for sale in the political market. Your stand against selling your valuable influence for political advertisements is proper and commendable. As I was the pastor of the late George H. Murphy, who was slain by Charles G. Guth on September 18th, 1913, I feel it my duty to say that no Negro in Baltimore who respects manhood, loves his own little ones and is fighting for a man's chance in this country of prejudice and hatred should cast a single vote for Harry G. Algeir, who was to my mind, the chief cause of the exoneration of Guth. It was I, as soon as I was informed of the murder, who went to the Baltimore morgue and there met the lifeless body and saw the deadly wound that took the life of that pious young praacher. I was at the police station that memorable night when the Coroner's inquest was held, and when no Negro, but Lawyer W. Ashbie Hawkins was allowed to witness the proceedings. I recall how the colored men were treated because we dared come to the investigation. It was I, with the Underaker Samuel Hemsley, who went to Dr. Algire's home for a permit for the body and remember how he acted. Now, shall the manly Negroes of the great city of Baltimore so soon forget how one of our race was slain and how his slayer was exonerated by one of the very men now asking for our_votes? Every Negro who casts a vote for Coroner Algire heartily favors white men killing pious, innocent Negroes. Remember the great crime this pious preacher committed: He had the milk man leave bottles of milk at his employer's kitehen for his own use and for which he himself paid. Yours sincerely, Signed J W. MacDONALD ANSWERS CORRESPONDENT Richmond, Va., Oct. 8, 1915 Editor of the Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore, Md. Dear sir: I wish to make a reply to a communication in the Commonwealth dated October 2, 1915. We notice a communication in the Commonwealth under the Caption "Segregated Church." We do not take exception to what we read in the article as we are well acquainted with the Rev. I. H. Carpenter, as he was once a pastor in our city. We cannot believe that our contemporary was sincere in these statements as they are absolutely false and misleading. That we enter and leave the church through the back door is untrue. We wish to correct the mistakes referred to in the above communication with the following information. That the Leigh Street Memorial M. E. Church is on a corner and fronts two streets with entrances on both fronts. The entrance we are using is on the Fifth street side of the steeple directly in front and we have never known church to have steeples at the back or rear before. We would say further that this congregation is not humiliated as the writer would make believe, but on the contrary it is in a very happy and prosperous mood, having won a great fight through our leader, the pastor. There never was a pastor who came to Richmond who has won the admiration and respect of all classes as the Rev. E. M. Mitchell has on account of his great intellect, lofty character, and high ideals. He has taken a small insignificant, almost forsaken church and made it do wonders. The people of Richmond have marveled at him and wondered how could he do it. Only less than a year ago the Leigh Street M. E. Church was a little more than a disgrace to a city like Richmond. In this short while it seems to have sprung unforsaken into prominence, now a leading church and will soon stand in front as the foremost of them all. We hope that the Washington Annual Conference will take note of truth and come to Richmond, enmase for an enjoyable stay, as you will be pleased and not find things so bad. Richmond is a peaceful city, and not as cruel as it is represented to be in some papers. In conclusion, we will say that we do not believe that the Rev. I. H. Carpenter sought purposely to mislead the conference in detail already mentioned, but we do believe that he was misinformed. Organist of the Leigh Street Memorial M. E. Church, 109 E. Clay street, Richmond, Va. ALGIRE AGAIN The Negro Republican organization leaders must swallow everything the ring gives them, if necessary even Guth, the slayer of innocent Murphy, and Algire, the accused of clearing Guth of the crime. They have nothing to do with making or approving the ticket, ACCEPTING ONLY is his part, when the ticket is presented for his acceptance. The black belt in Virginia was sold out by a black politician. Disfranchisement, jim crowism and segregation are in some parts largely the results of corrupt Negro politicians. Suppose German, Jewish, Italian, Greek politicians would ask their people to vote for one, especially of another race, who bore to them a similar relation that Aligre bears to the Negroes of Baltimore, what would happen to them? Why, their leadership would soon cease and their papers would not be patronized any more. What's the matter with us Negroes that are loyal to our race! As we now have, plenty of prepared laymen to look after politics, the preachers should keep out, except in an incidental way. Colored politicians, you should attend to your own job, and see that no one else tries to attend to it for you. Churches, you should not employ pastors, who for political money will neglect their already empty churches, and get so far down below dirty politics as to run a paper so far against, so far below the interest of their own race as to advise us to vote for a man who shields our murderers. This class of Negroes and this class of Negro newspapers should have no place among us, especially as leaders. Let these supposed organization Negro Republicans vote for Aligre. I shall not vote for him. I am not too anxious to vote for them who put him on the ticket. Let the Commonwealth and her allies elect him. Do not follow such leaders or you may soon be voting for the slayer of Murphy himself. Respectfully yours, SYLVESTER H. NORWOOD NEWS OE THE BOY SCOUTS Troop No. 5. Patrol leader, Ernest Henson, while on his way home met a lady Saturday midnight who fell in a car ill. He willingly accompanied her safely home. Patrol leaders Ernest Henson and Robert Grayer proved themselves to be real scouts when they saw an aged lady leaning against a pole ill of heart trouble. Both scouts stood ready to serve. Wm. E.

Being a leading boy of our race in Baltimore in wireless work, Master Carrington is attracting quite a deal of attention. He is first colored boy in Baltimore to win thru examination, a license. The following article was written especially for the boys column. Ed. I have been interested in wireless for eight months, have found this study very good, and also interesting. Any average boy could study wireless with ease; that's providing if person studying is determined to study it right through. How I became interested in wireless telegraphy is like this: Some time ago I used to make small batteries. With these home-made batteries I would run a motor for fun, after a while this caused me to think of other interesting things. Among one of these thoughts I studied Morse telegraphing by a tape register. I made several instruments for this purpose. Now, time went by and I had read of wireless on ships and land, and also boys having them. I turned my attention to these wonders, now I am studying the new tpyes of sets coming out. The easiest way to learn the code is to get a telegraph key which can THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER ST.

With the pastor and the small force working on an honest basis we have been able to succeed. This statement is verified by both incorporations. We hope our friends will consider this statement and remain loyal to the old church established on Truth and Righteousness. Dishonest people will drift around and establish their own kingdoms. "But the wheels of the Almighty will grind slow, the number of rumors which have gone out to be untrue. There has not been any official statement from the incorporation with which we are dealing to show any dissatisfaction between them and us. By but sure." I am glad I am connected with this old church who has passed her 100th birthday. Many more things could be said but space will not allow.
