THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY NEGRO PAPER IN MARYLAND THE AFRICAN AMERICAN --- VOL. XXIV. NO. 26 BALTIMORE NOT SATISFIED WITH SEGREGATION St. Louis Newspaper Prints Misleading Information With Reference to Local Opinion LAW IS VICIOUSLY OBNOXIOUS Only Those Who Are Opposed to Progress Among Negroes Are in Favor of Seg- Baltimoreans were much perturbed this week by an article in the St. Louis Republic of last Monday, which states that Baltimoreans, and especially those of the Negro race, are satisfied with the working of the present local segregation law. Utterances made by City Councilman Harry S. Cummings and Dr. Ernest Lyon are quoted in an effort to show that the colored people here are satisfied, and that, therefore, the colored people of St. Louis would be satisfied also with such a law. Interviews with City Solicitor Fields, Rev. Henry M. Wharton, City Councilman D. C. Joseph and States' Attorney Broening are also given in an attempt to show that the obnoxious law has the approval of prominent Baltimoreans. It is well known that colored Baltimoreans are not satisfied with the law as it is unduly discriminatory, prevents legitimate outgrowths for increase in population and wealth, and places the race at a constant disadvantage in matters affecting its civic and economic progress. The present law makes it practically impossible for the opening up of new territory for colored people, especially if the same has been hitherto undeveloped. This law was passed in September 1914, following a decision by the Court of Appeals abrogating the previous law, but which suggested a way by which a law might be drawn to meet its approval. The Court of Appeals has not rendered a decision as to the validity of the present law, but there is a case now pending. St. Louis will hold an election on February 29, to decide whether or not that city shall have a segregation law similar to the one in force in this city. A big campaign is being waged by the opponents and proponents of the anti-Negro propaganda, and the St. Louis Republic requested its Baltimore correspondent, Edgar Goodman, to furnish an article showing the drift of opinion here regarding Baltimore's law, as this is the first city and the largest one to have such a measure. The first that Baltimoreans knew that their city was being used as an example of the "benefits" of segregating the Negro to a restricted residential area came Monday morning, when a number of telegrams were received here asking of Dr. Lyon and Councilman Cummings had been quoted correctly. The gentlemen in question also received telegrams, and sent replies disavowing any endorsement of domiciliary segregation. Mr. Goodman, who is telegraph editor of the Baltimore American and correspondent for a number of out-of-town journals, states that 'segregation was demanded as a result of a persistent invasion of the white residential section by Negroes. This was due, in part, to the natural growth of the color- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RACE. ed people, who overflowed the alleys and small streets in which they were congested, and also in a large measure to their advancement in education and the improvement in their financial condition, which aroused a desire for better living conditions." Further on, he says that the present law "has worked unexpectedly well," "the ordinance in all its provisions has been sustained in the State courts and "all parties seem to be agreed that the present arrangement is the wisest in view of the present public sentiment here." As a matter of fact, the law has never been finally determined as to its validity, a case is now pending in the Court of Appeals, Maryland's court of last resort. Sentiment for the law was bolstered up by the wails of whites of moderate station in life, aided by Democratic politicians. The statement is made that the Fourteenth ward has more colored voters than whites, which is undue, and Daniel C. Joseph, Councilman from that ward, is quoted as saying that A. C. Binswanger was defeated for a renomination because he fought the segregation law in the City Council. This is also untrue. Mr Joseph, however, admitted telling his interviewer that the segregation law was a success. Dr. Ernest Lyon quoted as favoring segregation as it will tend to drive the race together, and make them establish and patronize their own business enterprises. DENIES INTERVIEW Dr. Lyon denies that he had given any interview on the subject, and points out that he has fought all segregation measures, but says that the account in The Republic must have been secured from an account of an address delivered by him and published four years ago, in which he advocated that if the whites wanted housing segregation, the race should establish and finance its own business enterprises. Mr. Cummings, who is denominated as "one of the wisest leaders of his races," and who fought the passage of each segregation law, has the following to say of the present law: "It worked out better than I thought it would at the beginning. The colored people have not been put to a disadvantage, but I still believe it is a bad law because it singles out the whites from the blacks. The greatest disadvantage to the colored people is where they cannot buy property where they want it. Outside of that, the colored people are perfectly satisfied." State's Attorney William F. Broening, a Republican, is quoted as pointing out the legal defeats in the ordinance and that it is more liberal toward the colored people that the first one. Mr. Broening told a representative of the Afro-American Thursday that he remembers having been approached by a reporter as to his opinion about the working of the present segregation law. He replied, he stated, that he had formed no opinion, that views as to the operation and effects of the law should be secured from the Judges of the Appeal Tax Court, property owners and real estate men. MR. GOODMANS' VERSION When approached by a reporter for the Afro-American, Mr. Goodman stated that he had been commissioned by the St. Louis newspaper to get a number of statements from local men regarding the workings of the present segregation law. He sent a man to get these interviews, and stated that Dr. Lyon was not in the city, and that he took his views from he published report of a speech delivered by Dr. Lyon several years ago. The reporter, he went on to say, saw Messrs. Cummings and Broening. Leaders in the local Branch of the National Association for the Continued on Page Four MASONS LOSE IN LEE CASE Court of Appeals Decides That Masonic Grand Lodge Must Not Infringe on Rights of Members. Annapolis, Md., Feb. 16.—The Court of Appeals of Maryland handed down its decision in the case of an appeal taken from the action of Judge Heuisler, sitting as Circuit Court No. 2, of Baltimore City by the Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge of F. & A. Masons of Maryland, Inc., et al. Milton R. Lee had sued the Grand Lodge for reinstatement as a member of Enterprise Lodge No. 3, and Judge Heuisler had decided that Mr. Lee on the facts of the Bill of Complaint should be reinstated as a member and past master of Enterprise Lodge. The Grand Lodge loses its appeal. The highest court of this State decides that the Grand Lodge had no right to suspend Lee, and that its Grand Lecturer had no authority under its Constitution and By-Laws to prefer any charges against the Master of a lodge; that the Commissioners who attempted to hear such charges had no jurisdiction; and that Mr. Lee was deprived of his constitutional right to be summoned before the Grand Lodge at a subsequent meeting and had been denied his right to defend the charges by a hearing before the Grand Lodge. The Court reviews the Constitution and Organic Law of Masonry and holds that Mr. Lee has a right to require the Lodge in a Court of Law to explain any unwarranted action by it or any of its officers; that the Grand Lodge must show some cause for its illegal action in suspending Mr. Lee; that while Courts will generally not interfere with the rules by which members of an organization of this character agree to be governed in matters of discipline, doctrine and internal policy, yet any investigation of charges for misconduct must be in accordance with the rules of the organization; that in the case of Mr. Lee the Grand Lodge and its officers instituted proceedings within the order against him which were not conducted in accordance with the fundamental law of the order; that in violation of its own rules, Mr. Lee had no opportunity to appear and defend himself before the proper tribunal, and the Court "will not hesitate to interfere in his behalf against the invasion of his rights." The Grand Lodge is ordered to pay all the costs of the proceeding, and unless it can justify the action complained of by Mr. Lee, the lower Court will order his reinstatement. Messrs. A. C. Binswanger and Warner T. McGuinn argued the case for Mr. Lee in the Court of Appeals, and Messrs. Hawkins and McMechen, represented the Masonic Grand Lodge. This case has excited wide spread comment, and its decision has been awaited by a number of Masons, who are anxious to learn to what extent the Courts will afford relief in such matters. LODGE LOSES SUIT The suit of Novel Neal claiming $5,000 damages from Captain George W. Brown for alleged assault and battery has been non probed. Neal claims that he was assaulted following his alleged attempt to get away with $130 of the receipts from an excursion given on the steamer Starlight to Brown's Grove by Perseverance Lodge of Knights of Pythias. This makes the 47th case that Captain Brown has won. NO MIXING AT SUNDAY REVIVALS Revivalist Writes That Better Results Will Result from Jim-Crow Meetings—Ministers Won't Stand For It. Inasmuch as there is a difference of opinion as to whether Mr. Sunday or the local committee is responsible for what might be termed the "Jimcrowing" of the colored people in the coming campaign, and that the responsibility should be placed where it properly belongs, the Afro-American addressed a personal letter to the Rev. William A. Sunday, at Trenton, N. J., where he is now holding forth. Both letters follow and we leave the interested public to judge for themselves and make their own conclusions. The letters follow: Rev. and Dear Sir:— It is generally understood in this city by the colored people that they will not only be welcomed to the meetings which will be held in this city by you, but will not even be permitted to enter the Tabernacle and take seats therein. The result is that meetings which are supposed to be held by the workers cooperating with you, will not have a cordial welcome, even if permitted to hold such meetings, in colored churches. We are advised that several efforts have been made by local colored ministers to know whether they could be of any service and what they could do towards making your meeting here a blessing to their race as well as to all others who might feel a desire to be present. They were met with polite refusals. Will you kindly communicate with the editor of this paper and let the colored people of this city know where you stand. I am frank to say that it is the consensus of opinion that this discrimination does not come from you nor from those who are working with you. By doing so you will greatly obige, J H. Murphy, Editor Rev. W. A. Sunday, D. D. Trenton, N. J., Feb. 10th "Mr. J. H. Murphy. M. J. H. M. phily. 628 N. Eutw St., Baltimore My dear Mr. Murphy: "Your kind letter of February 10th is at hand. I have always felt that the local committees are capable of handling the local situations. When my advice has been asked I have told them of a plan which has been used with success in nearly every city where there has been any considerable colored population." They have taken advantage of an awakened religious interest and have conducted special evangelistic services among their own people with their own evangelists. In many cases the local committee has appropriated $500 or $1,000 to help the colored people defray their expenses. Mrs. Sunday, other members of my party and I have gone to their churches and conducted meetings and spoken. We have never issued tickets to colored sing- ers for admission to the choirs nor have colored men been appointed ushers and secretaries. The colored people everywhere we have been have been satisfied with such arrangements and almost invariably have adopted these suggestions. The opportunity will be great for the colored people to reap rich harvest. I look forward to the Baltimore campaign with great expectations. With best wishes Sincerely yours, W. A. SUNDAY There will not be general cooperation on the part of the color- PRICE THREE CENTS ed ministers of this city with the Sunday Campaign Committee, unless the committee agrees to treat the colored people as it will other constituent elements of the population. This was made plain at a conference between a number of ministers and representatives of the Sunday Campaign Committee, Friday. The ministers and the members of the committee freely exchanged ideas, and the ministers declaring they would not stultify themselves to allow "Jim Crow" arrangements for the colored people. CHRIS PERRY HEADS EDITORS Nashville, Tenn., February 12.

Steward. WOULD ORGANIZE MILITIA Norfolk, Va., February 17.—A movement looking toward the introduction of a bill in the General Assembly providing for the organization of one or more colored regiments of the Virginia National Guard has been started here. Walter Smith has written State Senator E. C. Smith requesting that such a bill be drawn. He points out that thousands of colored men would respond to a call to arms should the United States be menaced by a foreign foe, and that they should have military training in times of peace, in keeping with the general movement for military preparedness. Copies of the letter to Senator Matthews have been sent to United States Senators Martins and Swanson, to the Secretary of War and to the chief of the Division of Militia affairs of the Federal Government. BAILEY FOR GENERAL ASSEMBLY Indianapolis; Ind., February 17.—R. L. Bailey, a member of the Marion county bar, has announced his candidacy for nomination for the General Assembly in the primaries, which will be held on March 7. He is an alumnus of Talladega College and the Indian Law School. F. B. Ransom, another lawyer, is also a candidate for representative. He is 33 years of age and studied law at Walden and Columbia Universities. MINISTERS URGE UNITY OF METHODISM Evanston, Ill., February 17. The union of the various branches of Methodism was urged by a number of speakers at a meeting held here for three days this week under the auspices of the John Richard Lindgreen Foundation for the Promotion of Christian Unity. The speakers included: Bishops J. Albert Johnson, L. J. Coppin and Charles S. Smith of the A. M. E. Church; Bishop Alexander Walters and George W. Clinton, of the M. E. Church; Bishops Hendrix and Denny, of the M. E. Church South; Dr. T. H. Lewis, of Maryland, representing the Methodist Protestant Church; Dr. S. D. Chown, of the Canadian M. E. Church; Bishops Cranston, Hamilton, Thirkield, McConnell, McDowell, and Drs. I. Garland Penn, David Downey, John F. Goucher, Robert E. Jones and John W. E. Bowen, all of the M. E. Church. $10,000 CAMPAIGN TO START SOON Prominent Business Men Signify Their Intention of Standing By Provident Hospital In Its Crisis That the colored men and women of this city are not going to see the doors of Provident Hospital close without an effort to do their part in raising funds for its maintenance, was evidenced at a rousing meeting held at the Hospital on Biddle street, Tuesday evening. Nearly one hundred of the most prominent men and women of the city were present at the meeting and all of the speakers not only expressed the opinion that the institution was deserving of better support on the part of the people, but stated that they were entering into the present campaign with a firm determination to raise the amount of money necessary to put the Hospital on a proper footing. Prominent among those who made addresses pledging their support in the coming campaign were Mr. Harry O. Wilson, who will head a committee of business men in the campaign; Rev. Ernest Lyon, head of team of preachers; Mrs. Emma J. Truxon, head of the women's team; George A. Watty, head of the Pythian team; John W. Rich, Hugh M. Burkett, J. H. Murphy and a number of others. The campaign will start on February 28th, and will last ten days, in which time it is hope that subscriptions amounting to at least ten thousand dollars will be collected. The present financial condition of the hospital is due to the inability of the state authority to pay its annual appropriation. Unless the public spirited citizens come to the aid of the institution at this time, either the doors will have to be closed or conditions will be in such a state that the best service to the community cannot be rendered. Provident Hospital not only stands for the highest efficiency among its physicians and nurses, but aims to the place here man, woman and child may be given the best treatment known to medical science, and that without losing their self-respect. It is the only hospital in the city where colored physicians may get the benefit of that broad experience which white doctors get in other hospitals. NEW ORLEANS WANTS NO GRANOEATHER LITIGATION New Orleans, La., February 16—Suits have been filed in the District Court at Greata demanding that twenty-four voters who have been voting under the "grandfather clause" be stricken from the polling lists. This is done because of the belief in some quarters that a recent abrogation of "grandfather clauses" by the United States Supreme Court affects the status of voters who registered thereunder. An increase in the Negro vote in the State is expected, provided the colored eligibles pay their taxes. "We must get rid of these 'grandfather' voters sooner or later," says the New Orleans Picayune, so that they will not involve the State in what may be serious differences with the federal authorities." ANTI-SUFFRAGE SOCIETY ORGANIZED Selma, Ala., February 15.—"Home Rule; State's Rights and White Supremacy" was the slogan of the Alabama Anti-Suffrage Society, organized here last Friday night. THE WORLD OF SPORT JERSEY COLLEGE TO ENTER IN THE HOWARD MEET White Team Manager Says It Is The Sportsmanship and Not The Color That "KING" DREW TO BE THERE He And Roy Morse Will Be The Big Features-Girls To Get Into The Game. Washington, D. C.—For one time the affairs in colored athletic circles will eclipse the big events of the white brother in this city. Georgetown holds its big indoor meet on Saturday the 19th and George Washington University will hold one at a later date, but neither of the two institutions mentioned will have the class of material or the variety of entertainment that will feature the indoor games given by the P. S. A. L. and Howard University on February 25th. Leading in the list of attractions will be the first and only appearance here of the one Howard P. Drew and Roy Morse, the world's greatest sprinters. The girls at our leading athletic schools are planning to dash fifty years for gold, silver and bronze meals. Another big and unusual performance will be the entrance into competition of white and colored boys in the south. The track manager of the College of Jersey City, formerly the State College of New Jersey, son of one of the Deans of the school wrote for information regarding the meet. Upon being informed by the manager of the track team of Howard University that this school was largely attended by colored students, but that the management of the meet would welcome the entry of the Jersey City College track team, the following letter was written by Manager Raubenheimer: College of Jersey City, Formerly University of the State of New Jersey. Jersey City, N. J. February 6, 1916. Mr. Harry M. Martin Howard University Washington, D. C. My dear Sir:— Your letter of the 4th inst. received. I would say that you must receive my special thanks for your kind information. I have always known that Howard University was a colored institution, but when it comes to collegiate pleasures and duties COLOR takes no place with us. We wish you to know we are men and stand for true sportsmanship in the highest degree. In regard to our appearance in Washington, I can say my team will be on hand sure; look for our entry blanks on Friday, February 11th, or Saturday the 12th at the latest. Again I thank you for your letter of information and wish to say we know you very well in the Athletic World, to be a perfect gentleman. Yours sincerely, HERBERT RAUBENHEIMER, College of Jersey City Track Team Manager Class of 1917. BAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN 42-20 The Hampton basketball team won the intercollegiate championship Saturday night, February 12, by its defeat of Lincoln University 44 to 20. The game was fast and clean throughout, a fine exhibition of scientific basketball. During the first half the Hampton team did such wonderful passing and shooting that the Lincoln team seemed bewildered. This half ended 28 to 7 in Hampton's favor. The second half begun with a dash more to the liking of the many spectators who witnessed the game. The young boys of Lincoln did splendid work and especially spectacular was the fast dribbling of N. Young, who several times carried the ball from one end of the gymnasium to the other. The passing and shooting of Gayle, Gurnoe, and Edwards for Hampton was the feature of the game. Referee, H. B. Skinner. BY SPORTSMAN Hampton continued her string of victories by defeating Carlisle last week. The Vandals and Hampton are the only two big teams yet undefeated. W. T. Grinnage, half-back for the last three years on Howard's football team has been elected captain for the season 1916. We are wondering if the manager of Sam Willis who recently offered to bet $20,000 that Wills could beat any man on earth, took advantage of the opportunity offered at the meeting of his protege and Sam Langford last Friday night If he did—goodnight for the twenty thousand. At a recent meeting of the Athletic Association they placed the blame for losing the championship football game on the coach, the faculty, the Athletic Council, and on the student body; strange they slighted the team—Howard University Journal. Strange indeed, but then not so strange considering the facts in the case as published in the Afro-American of December 4. With regular practice going on a full tilt at Bethel Chapel, by both the High School and Dunbar fives, the game on the 28th of this month promises to be a scorcher. This will be Dunbar's second game this year, and they say they are not going to let their colors drag in the dust if consistent practice can prevent it. BALTIMORE GIRLS DOWN WASHINGTON Washington, D. C., Feb. 12. Before the record crowd of the season, the Baltimore High School girls defeated the girls of the Armstrong Manual Training School for the second time this season by the score of 7 to 3, and O Street Vocational School girls took the measure of their rivals from Cardozo Vocational School by the count of 1S to 9. Both games were hotly contested and enthusiasm was kept at boiling heat throughout both games. The Baltimore girls seemed a little nervous at the onset but before the game was well on they threw caution to the winds and displayed splendid form. The star of the contest was the Oriole guard, Miss G. Gaines. In the Cardozo vs. O Street game, the work of the Misses Collins, Thompson, and Seymour was very noticeable in the play of the Cardozo team, while Ruth Gray, and Henrietta Taylor stood out in front for O Street. Elaine Lucas showed very great improvement in her play. Summary B. High School Pos. A. M. T. S. I. Darkens lf. A. Lucas E. White rf. M. Wycks C. Lowry sc. P. Stewart M. Dow c. B. Hiller G. Neal sc.

DREW MAKES IT THREE STRAIGHT FROM LOOMS Howard Drew, the famous athlete, gave another sensational sprinting exhibition last Friday when he won the 90-yard special in the Fordham University games at the Twenty-second Corps of Engineers, in 9 1-5 seconds, equaling his own world's record, made in Brooklyn in April, 1914. After repeating his Millrose A. A. and New York A. C. victories over Roy Morse and Joe Loomis of Chicago, the University of Southern California crack continued on to a tape at 105 yards, where he was clocked in 10 2-5 seconds, equaling a record made outdoors at Berkeley Oval in 1901 by M. N. Hargrave of Yale. Hargrave's record found its way into the A. A. U. Almanac through a mistake of the starter in the dual meet between the Oxford and Cambridge team and the Yale and Harvard representatives in 1901. The significance of Drew's performance of 10 2-5 seconds is that in all probability he ran 100 yards in ten seconds, the second time within four days. The colored man's victory was as clean as ever was scored. He was away well and at ten yards appeared in front, trailed by Morse and Loomis, the only other starters. He did not appear to be extended at any time, but it is one of the remarkable facts about Drew's style that he always appears to be running within himself. Morse, who finished second, was beaten a yard and a half, while a like distance separated Morse and SPORT PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia,Feb Richard Lomax and Bayard of the North the Roland W. H Thursday evening LEFT HOOK PUTS WILLS TO SLEEP Veteran Sam Langford Takes His Opponent's Scalp in the Nineteenth Session Sam Langford's left hook, as deadly as a torpedo, and, like a submarine, making its stroke when least expected, sunk the dreadnought Wills.—New Orleans Item. The above is a brief metaphorical account of the fight between the pride of Boston, Sam Langford, and the pride of New Orleans, Sam Wills. It happened last Friday evening in the nineteenth round of scheduled twenty-round fight held in the latter Sam's home town Up to that round the fast coming Wills had a shade the better of the mix-up due to his longer range, height and physical power. Five minutes more and he would have been hailed as the best heavyweight fighter in existence, not barring the champion Willard. But it did not take five minutes for the experienced Langford to see an opening that he had been waiting for all during the fight, nor did it take him five minutes to flash his terrific left fist thru that opening to Wills jaw and drop him for the count of ten. As the Item reports it, Wills was not out mentally. "His eye was clear and he knew full well what was going on, but the muscles refused to respond to the workings of the brain. The loss of the fight was a double tragedy for Wills, as it is reported that his fiancee, Miss Edna Jones, who was to have become his bride the day following the fight, committed suicide after brooding all night over the defeat of her lover at the hands of Langford, and the crimp it put in his championship aspirations. ELKS HOLD PRAISE SERVICE Monumental Lodge of Elks, No. 3, held the first of a series of prayer and praise services at Elks' Hall, 414 W. Hoffman street, last Sunday afternoon. Rev. C. G.

The doctors here told me I had Tuberculosis and would soon follow mother. Some, one advised my husband to send me to Dr. Campbell, 1369 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md., as he could not be beat as a Lung and Nerve Specialist. In company with my sister we traveled all night by boat and visited the Doctor next day. He examined me thoroughly and explained how my lungs were effected. I took his LUNG BASE Treatment nearly 3 months, then several bottles of Strength and Life. My weight increased, cough stopped, and now I feel a well woman, though it is almost three years since I took his Treatment. I feel that I have many more years to live, though I would have been dead long ago had I not been to him.

BALTIMORE, FEB. 19, 1916 Frederick Douglass believed that the Negroes who wanted liberty should be willing to fight for it. It is not too much of a step to go farther and say that they do not deserve liberty until they are willing to fight for it. "Danger of a divided allegiance within our nation, if they existed at the beginning of the war, are now passed and overcome," said President Wilson at Milwaukee last week, and continued: "I know that whenever the test comes every man's heart will beat first for America." Before the President goes on further, it would be well to inform him that Bishop Walters can speak only for the colored Democrats. In the words of an aged Negro philosopher: 'dancin' air jes' erobt wrong ez proebishun an' no wronger." "But Billy Sunday says," we interrupted when we could get a word in edgeways. "Billy Sunday," grunted the philosopher, "pooh on Billy Sunday. Dn't he callate to save all de whit' fokes an' durn all de blackfokes. Pooh on Billy Sunday an' him a preacher," smorted the aged one, and shambled off in complete disgust that anyone, even an editor, would venture to quote the inconsistent evangelist on a question of morality. HOW TO BE HAPPY IN BALTIMORE The formula for "Being happy the living in 'chicago' written by an elderly Chicago couple celebrating the fifty-ninth anniversary of their marriage is so admirable in itself that it is certainly worth a larger circulation than among the two millions of the Windy City. More than this, it represents the means by which two people have lived together nearly three score years without a falling out serious enough to attract the attention of the neighbors, the assistance of a policeman or the advice of a circuit court. Quoting the Minneapolis "Tribune" this is the formula: 1. Love each other all the time. 2. Keep silent when she wants to argue. 3. Keep silent when he wants to argue. 4. Use good common sense in times of depression. 5. Don't blame your husband wh- n he is doing his best. 6. Don't scold. 7. Have a few children playing around the house. Altho seven is a sacred number the tendency is to make the rules of life as few and as comprehensive as possible. It is natural to think that any couple who can keep 1 and 7. will observe the Alpha and the Omega of the formula for in these two commands 'hang all the law and the prophets." In fulfilling the first, they but carry out the vows made to each other and in seven they obey the divine law to multiply. Numbers 2. to 6. appears by-laws, which have been found helpful in keeping in line with the two main provisions. It was not by accident but very clearly by express intention that all of these rules, with the exception of 5. apply to husband and wife alike. 20th ANNIVERSARY YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Coincident with the Fiftieth Jubilee of the Y. W. C. A. in America is the Twentieth Anniversary of the local branch. It is entirely fitting that the organization pause in its busy activities and take account of the way it has come and the way that it hopes to tread. Beginning as the Women's Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A., this organization has pursued its own independent existence during the twenty years, and now boasts of an influence for good in the community not second to that of the parent from which it sprang. From its incorporation, the Y. W. C. A. has recognized that those farthest down were in need of the strongest pull in order to raise them up, and of those who were down, none was farther than the working girls without homes. When there was but one room, there was provided shelter for one girl who needed help. With its larger building the Association has housed during the past year more than a hundred girls, and turned aw y twenty more for lack of space. This provision of homes for working girls is not the only work of the Association. It has provided employment for more than four hundred girls during the past year, and thru sewing, music, art and athletic classes made life fuller and happier for those who needed it most. It is a matter of history that seven women - three now living—took out the articles of incorporation without a dollar of capital stock with which to begin the work so that the accumulation of property and money to the value of ten thousand dollars, and the annual budget of two thousand dollars is one measure of twenty years of progress. This however is the lesser measure of the work the Y W. C. A. has done. The benefit to the young women, who have found better employment, more wholesome ways of living and happier use of their leisure—the value of these things to the women themselves and to the community cannot be estimated. Too much cannot be said in praise of the self-sacrificing spirits that have made and make this work possible. GRAFT AND THE BISHOP Bishop J. W. Alstork, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, made it plain to the Alabama Conference, over which he has the honor to preside, that in the future no special offerings or gifts would influence him in the making of appointments. The Bishop's warning to the ministers is more than admonition, it is a confession that in the past the unworthy and the unfaithful have attempted to bribe him in the making of appointments. This is a serious matter from two points of view; first that the church is not free from the motives that are employed by the lowest politicians, and secondly that ministers of churches could divert funds, entrusted to them for the maintenance of the work of their parish, for their own special benefit. The Bishop goes on to say: "Making me special donations will not help at all. I would rather not have them, and I can not discourage the practice too emphatically. In the first place the preachers in a Negro conference have not enough money to be making the bishop presents, and, in the second place, the church has provided for the bishop. For my part, I am expected to serve it and my God. I can neither be bought or sold, and will not be influenced in the performance of my duty one iota by such gifts." The late Bishop James A. Handy of the A. M. E. Church was accustomed to take a good deal of pride in the fact that he never accepted travelling expenses from the conferences over which he presided. These expenses were provided for by the General Confr rce, so that Bishop Handy always felt that he had no right to accept money from individuals or churches. Bishop Alstork in the above has mad a step in the right direction, but he has not gone far enough. "I would rather not have them," says Bishop Alstork where he should say: I WILL NOT HAVE THE M. BALTIMORE NOT SATISFIED WITH SEGREGATION Advancement of Colored People immediately got busy Monday and secured interviews against segregation, which were forwarded to the St. Louis branch. Dr. F. N. Cardozo, former president here, sent a strong telegram hitting segregation, and a committee appointed by the M. E Ministerial Meeting, sent a telegram Thursday attacking segregation. In reply to a request from A. W. Lloyd, grand chancellor of Knights of Pythias in Missouri, as to whether or not the attitude of Messrs. Lyon and Cummings had misrepresented, Grand Chancellor George A. Watty sent the following explanation: "Mr. Cummings has fought the segregation law in the City Council upon many occasions. Dr. Lyon has appeared again and again before committees at Annapolis and in the City Council protesting against segregation in Baltimore. Both of them are on record as being bitterly opposed to segregation in any shape or form. No colored man in Baltimore is satisfied with segregation and the way it works." Y. M. C. A.

DAVENPORT REPLYS Mr. Editor: I see in your last weeks issue where a Mrs Mattie Brown Smith has made some mistakes in your paper in reference to the funeral services that took place February 2, 1916. She said in her statement that I, L. H. Davenport, said "there were other obligations and duties in the world greater than religious duties." I said "there were other duties as well as religious duties and obligations to be met from a financial standpoint that were very important." I am not accustomed to referring to the dead, but Eureaka Tab. No. 50 would do wisely in the future to have a doctor to investigate the applicants and would thereby avoid taking jin physical wrecks. I would like to say very frankly this is the first case that I have had such an attack made on me especially when I suppressed some important defects. The good lady who has so much respect for her deceased husband, might have let Davenport rest. And when necessity requires Davenport to apply to her to teach him intelligences he will give time and due notice. Adv. L. H. DAVENPORT QUARTERLY CONFERENCE OF EASTON DISTRICT The fourth quarterly conference of the Easton district of the Baltimore Annual Conference was held at St. John Station on February 7, was called to order and opened in due form by Presiding Eldr s. H. Cooper. Regular routine of business was transacted after which the different organizations reports were read and on motion received. The report showed that every department of the church to be in a prosperous condition both spiritually and financially. God blessed us by sending an able pastor to us in a much needed time. He has certainly reached the mark; and we heartily wish for his return. May God bless our pastor. We had with us for three weeks, the noted evangelist, S. Douglass McDuffie who held revival which was the result of the conversion of 395 souls; of this number 182 joined St. John A. M. E. Church making a total 200 joined during this conference year. May God help our pastor. Stewards of St. John A. M. E. Church Rev. P. W. Wortham, pastor Thomas A. Handy, secretary BOY SCOUTS' NEWS 347 Camel St., Baltimore, Md. February 19, 1916. Hello fellows! I haven't seen anything in this column from you concerning the setting up of a "wireless" station in your homes. Even the Scouts haven't made any progress along this line, nor has there been enough interest to induce any troop getting a wireless station for itself. I think a certain troop of a certain church will have one soon—but I shall not mention its name just now. I would like to hear of some other boys getting licenses besides myself. I also would like to hear some messages transmitted by them. Just start hustling now and pretty soon you can answer my wireless messages from your station. Scouts, awake! Try hard and encourage your boys to learn and operate a set. Learn the code and then get the outfit and you will not regret it afterwards. From Roland Carrington. Call "3 BA" Young Master Carrington recognized to be the only boy of our race in Maryland who has achieved any real success in the study of "Radio" has consented to deliver an address before a troop of Boy Scouts in the near future. Watch this column for date. The mountain boys of Waters A. M. E. Sunday School succeeded in winning the senior Sunday School banner for having the highest financial record for the past month. Mr. Charles A. Cary is the teacher. TROOP NO. 3. Of all the troops in Baltimore city, troop 3 located at First Baptist Church, now leads them all. The boys of this troop are about to "pull off a big Boy's Day" celebration. All the troops in the city are going to turn out in their strength to help troop 3. A special feature of the great turn out will be a Boy Scout choir of about 50 voices made up of the best singers from each troop. Scout Master-Grant, Jones and Proctor are works ing hard to make the occasion the best ever undertaken. TROOP NO.5. Soon to have a great big Rally Day and Union Service. All Boy Scout troops of Baltimore have accepted the very cordial invitation to be present and will be on the job early. Rev. Dr. Lyon will preach a special sermon to the entire assembled bodies. Wm. E. Davis, Jr., is Scout Master. BETREL A new troon here is doing excellent work under the direction of Rev Sanders and Mr. Evans. All meetings are well attended and interest runs high. SHARP ST.

Alabama, $2,750; Arkansas, $2,200; Georgia, $2,000; Kentucky, $1,500 North Carolina, $3,500; Tennessee, $1,800; Virginia, $2,500. Homemakers' clubs are organized throughout the southern states by the state agents for Negro rural schools, co-operating with the industrial teachers supported by the Jones fund. They are neighborhood clubs formed for the purpose of instruction in cooking and housekeeping. The girls and their mothers are brought together after school hours at the school building by trained teachers of sewing and cooking and other domestic arts and are there taught the elementary principles of good housekeeping. The general education board has also appropriated $25,000 to assist consolidated rural schools in building homes for principals and teachers in connection with the schools. The improvement of rural education in America depends on the consolidation of rural schools more than on any other single thing. A difficulty arises, however, because when five or six one room schools are brought together the little villages and the open country do not afford satisfactory homes for so many teachers. In consequence, teachers who would otherwise be willing to teach in rural schools are driven to seek positions in towns. The general education board is to try an experiment for the purpose of solving this problem. The board proposes to co-operate with the authorities of consolidated rural schools so as to build a comfortable home, attaching a school, for the principal and teachers, and they hope that this home will simultaneously serve as a laboratory for the teaching of good housekeeping to the girls in the school. The first experiments will probably be made in the northwest. The general education board has been constituted for the year 1936 as follows: Frederick T. Gates, chairman; Wallace Buttrick, secretary; E. C. Sage and Abraham Flexner, assistant secretaries; L. G. Myers, treasurer; L. M. Dashiell, assistant treasurer; Members, Frederick T. Gates, Walter H. Page, J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., Albert Shaw, Wallace Buttrick, Sturr J. Murphy, Edwin A. Alderman, Hollis B. Frissel, Harry Pratt Judson, Charles W. Ellot, Andrew Carnegie, Edgar L. Marston, Wickliffe Rose, Jerome D. Greene, Anson Phelps Stokes, Abraham Flexner and George E. Vincent. The board administers funds established by Mr. John D. Rockefeller for the promotion of education throughout the United States "without distinction of race, sex or creed." THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT. Organization Recently Formed in Washington Approved by Noted Men. A committee of citizens to organize, maintain and further the boy scout movement among colored boys met recently at the Twelfth street branch of the Y. M. C. A., Washington, and elected the followed named men as officers Shelby J. Davidson, president; A. F. Hillyer, first vice president; Henry E. Baker, second vice president; Alonzo Hill, secretary; J. C. Burlis, treasurer. The office of the organization will, be at 629 F street, northwest. The local boy scout council was represented at the meeting by Scout Commissioner H. H.

A., retired, would represent the colored boy scouts in the local council. There are ninety-two registered colored boy scouts in Washington. Arrangements were made for a sermon to be delivered to them by Rev. W. H. Jernagin at Mount Carmel Baptist church in observance of the sixth anniversary of the boy scout movement in this country. Prillerman Desires to Aid Teachers. The spring term of the West Virginia in Collegiate institute at Institute, W. Va., begins on Wednesday, March 1. Professor Byrd Prillerman, president of the institution, calls the attention of teachers to the fact that this session affords an excellent opportunity for instructors in the normal branches to review before having their certificates ..WOMAN'S COLUMN.. BY MARGARET BLACK Something all mothers, and mothers to be should know. What is more important than the bringing of children into the world? A knowledge of what to do, how to do, and when to do at this critical period of a woman's life is a blessing indeed to the woman so well informed; as it not only makes child-birth easier, but gives the little one a better start in life. So many women are afraid of child birth, that I think a persual of the following, will, I hope dissipate the fear and dread of those who read this article, Prepared by the Children's bureau, U. S. Dept. of Labor. CARE OF THE BABY BEFORE THE BABY COMES In this series of articles we have been dealing with the early life of a baby, after birth; we have not considered the equally important care of the baby in the months of its life before birth. The necessity for this care is apparent from the fact that statistics show that many thousands of babies die every year in the early days of life either because they were born prematurely, or because they were born too weak to survive. A very large number of them lose their lives because the mothers did not have proper care before they were born, or at the time of childbirth. Every woman expecting a baby should have such care as will result in the birth of a healthy and happy baby. A prospective mother needs a light, nutritious diet of digestible foods, such as she likes and her appetite demands. Fried and greasy foods, heavy puddings, and all heavy or underdone pastries, or an excess of any one article should be eliminated from her diet, as well as anything which she does not readily digest. She should have a full movement of the bowels every day, and for this purpose should eat plenty of laxative foods, rather than a resort to medicines. She should have at least eight hours of sleep at night and another hour during the day with all the bedroom windows open, if she has no out-of-door sleeping room. She should have systematic exercise in the open air every day, spending the time pleasantly in walking or in taking some form of light exercise, except at the normal time of the menstrual period, when it is better to rest. She should be careful not to continue her exercise beyond the point when she becomes tired. She should have a daily tub or sponge bath, having the water neither hot nor very cold, and should rub the skin vigorously afterward. During the last eight weeks of pregnancy she needs special care. The nipples should have attention each day, according to directions given in a publication of the Children's Bureau called "Prenatal Care," which is sent free upon request of the Chief of the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C. Throughout this stage of pregnancy the mother should as far as possible be spared all forms of heavy and taxing labor, in order that her strength may be built up in anticipation of the coming demand upon it. The baby's proper development also depends largely upon the mother's condition at this time, since the baby gains half his weight in the last eight weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, if he is to be born strong and healthy, it is most important that the mother have plenty of good food, and be spared undue work and worry thus this crucial period. To help the mother, to afford her opportunity for rest and to relieve her mind of any burden, may entail both expense and trouble upon the family, but it will be repaid a thousand fold in the health of the mother and baby which will result from the effort, not only for the time being, but forever afterward. The mother of the expected baby should be under the care of a good doctor as long before the birth as possible, in order that he may watch for and correct any untoward symptoms that may arise. In a city where the mother has not only plenty of private physicians, but hospitals, dispensaries and clinics at her service, it should be possible for her to have the necessary medical attention to keep her well. In rural districts where medical attention is more difficult to secure, owing to the long distance the doctor often has to travel, the mother should endeavor to see him now and then, and should send a sample of the urine to be examined, as often as may be practicable, particularly during the last three months. The pamphlet on Prenatal Care, already mentioned, gives advice regarding the hygiene of pregnancy, which mothers will find useful. It is exceedingly important that the ailments of pregnancy be dealt with in the beginning before they develop into more serious matters. At the first appearance of swollen hands and feet, of persistent headache, of pain in any part, or hemorrhage, or of spots before the eyes, a good doctor should be called. THE LONE BACHELOR GIRL I wonder if you know the kind that I'm thinking of, "The people who must be constantly moving," no place suits, if you said move every week, they'd move just for the sake of trying out a new house or living in a different neighborhood, like the couple I have in mind. When first I came to live with them I thought the house convenient, the neighborhood ideal; just as I had got used to the place and thinking how comfortably I'm fixed, I was startled one day at the dinner table with the assertion, that they were moving the next day. Naturally I wondered what was wrong, I knew they could not afford to pay any more rent, as they were paying then more than they could well afford; but he was like wax in her hands, and if she had said move that day, he would have said where, and I'm ready, and rushed to the phone and had a moving van sent out immediately. They would buy five cents worth of cooked ham and a pound of crackers and make three meals off of it, to live in an aristocratic neighborhood. I advised against the moving knowing that a larger house and larger rooms would require more furniture, and more coal to heat I said "These rooms are comfortable, the furnace excellent, light bill less," but I knew I had just as well kept quiet, because she'd said move and move they would. But said I, "What will you do with a twelve room house and three people." "Live in it," said she, and we moved. We lived there about three months when we must move again in a better house—"barn," I called it. Well we moved; and oh, how I wished I'd stayed in the country where things were quiet and peaceful, and people satisfied. Well this house was in such a swell neighborhood we must live up to it; a millionaire's idea off of a poor clerk's salary. So we bought, new rugs, mahogany dining room set, and a $500 piano, and books for the library. I wondered how it would be paid for. Every week the post man left loads of mail, just "duns." At last all was paid for but the piano, then the rent was two months behind, and they awoke to the fact one morning that they must either pay rent or be sold out. Well half the rent was paid and we lived all that week on fifty cents worth of crackers and three quarts of milk, then came the moving process again; they were going to move out of town, so to avoid a big freight bill, they must have a private sale. That was the straw that broke the camel's back, no more could I stand. I decided to hunt other quarters. They can't understand why I will not go with them; but I'm her sister just a Bachelor Girl, and I know as long she leads him around and they retain the moving fever I'll never be comfortable. Two crazy children, as irresponsible as a pair of kittens, such a lack of senses and system is enough to make a pig walk backwards. I guess you are acquainted with the kind and can sympathize with a Lone Bachelor Girl. PORT DEPOSIT HAPPENING Port Deposit, Md., Feb. 17.
