CONFERENCE TO CONVENE IN RICHMOND The fifty-second annual session of the Washington Annual M. E Conference will begin at the Leigh Street M. E. Church, Fifth and Leigh streets, Richmond, Va., next Wednesday. Bishop Earl Granston will preside, Rev. E. M. Mitchell will be the entertaining pastor. Among the questions of moment to be decided during the session will be whether or not the organic law of the denomination should be changed so as to allow the eliction of bishops for races and languages. This amendment would pave the way for the election of a colored bishop. Two members of the conference-Revs. J.W.E. Bowen and I.L. Thomas—are among those who have been mentioned in connection with the episcopacy. Considerable interest is being manifested in the election of delegates to the next General Conference of the denomination, which will be held at Saratoga, N. Y., next May. Revs. M W. Clair, W. C. Thompson, Ernest Lyon, George E. Curry, I. L. Thomas, J. W. E. Bowen, C. E. Hodges, W. A. C. Hughes, M. J. Naylor and D. W. Hays are among those who have been mentioned in this connection.

Young, of 609 Dolphin street, won one of the $5.00 gold pieces offered by Bragers' department store for the best letter on Why one did or did not patronize their store. NEW THEATRE FOR WILMINGTON One of the Finest in the Country of its Kind Entirely Owned and Operated by Colored People Wilmington, Del.—What is probably one of the finest motion pictures theatres in this country, owned and operated by members of the race was opened recently here by Dr. Samuel G. Elbert, one of Wilmington's wealthiest colored citizens. The owners of the building have incorporated under the name of the National Amusement Company, of which Mr. J. Victor Darrell, is manager. Mr. Darrell also superintended the construction of the heater. The owner of the theatre, Dr. Elbert, is said to have acquired a considerable portion of his wealth thru a real estate transaction in which he sold a piece of property to the city, for an extension of the Court House, for nearly $50,000. The original cost of the property to Dr Elbert is said to have been less than one-tenth of the selling price. The building which is three stories in height, is fireproof throut, has every modern convenience and construction, including a steam heating system, eight large ceiling ventilators, and 24 wall ventilators. The heating plant which is entirely outside of the building is connected by means of underground and between wall concrete ducts. An electrically driven ventilator supplies 20,000 cubic feet of fresh air per minute to replace that which is simultaneously exhausted thru the roof. The first floor of the building contains two small stores, the second floor is occupied by the balcony and a large banquet or meeting room. The third floor has been arranged to accommodate large banquets, dance and entertainments. A large ball room takes up the rear of the building with an attractive dressing room. The interior of the theatre has the appearance of a section of an amphiaitheatre, and is so arranged that there is no obstruction between the seats and the screen. The balcony hangs in a semi-circle over the first floor. There are fifteen private boxes. The two big power machines for films are both motor driven. The pictures shown in the house are the best obtainable. DR. CURTIS OPERATES ON HIS SON Washington, March 16.—Dr. A. N. Curtis performed a delicate abdominal operation upon his son,Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, a few days ago. The patient is doing nicely at Freedmen's Hospital and his condition gives promise of a speedy recovery. The performance of an operation of this difficult character upon one's own son is one of the rare feats in surgery. The outcome is a fine tribute to the skill of Dr. Curtis and his ability to master a situation that calls for moral courage, nerve and personal poise. Young Dr. Curtis, having assisted his father in many surgical cases, and having unlimited faith in his ability along this line urged that the senior Curtis perform the operation. Dr. Curtis, junior, is himself an excellent surgeon and is a member of the staff of minor surgery at Freedmen's WAITING ON THE SUPREME COURT That the local segregation law is faulty and invalid is the opinion held by a number of lawyers in commenting upon the ruling of the Court of Appeals last week that the segregation case now pending must be reargued before it. This will give the Court time to await the opinion of the United States Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the Louisville segregation law, which is similar to the one now in force here. The Court of Appeals is divided as to the contitutionality of the present law, which was passed in September, 1914. The case before it was that of Thomas S. Jackson, who had been charged with violating the law by moving into the dwelling at southwest corner of Baker and Mount streets. Hawkins and McMechen, who conducted the successful fight against the previous segregation law, represented Mr. Jackson, Horton S. Smith, of the States Attorney' office, appeared for the State. Mr. Jackson's attorneys attached the validity of the present law, and declared it an invasion of property rights, and contrary to individual liberty. They also pointed out a number of imperfections in the ordinance. The opinion of the Court of Appeals demanding a reargument: "We would hesitate to postpone the decision of this case longer were it not for the fact that we understand that a case pending in the Supreme Court of the United States involving the constitutionality of an ordinance of similar import will shortly be heard. Inasmuch as it is for that court to ultimately pass on the constitutionality of legislation of this character and as it is soon to be presented to that court for determination, and as the validity of the ordinance, irrespective of the right of the Mayor and City Council to pass an ordinance having for its object we have concluded to order a reargument on the following points: 1. Is the supplemental ordinance No. 355 copied in the briefs properly before the Court or consideration; and incidental thereto, what is the effect of an supplemental ordinance? 2. If such supplemental ordinance is properly before this Court, can the indictment in this case be sustained in the absence of language negating the character of the block as a colored block, at the time of the alleged violation as well as on September 25th, 1915? 3. If such supplemental ordinance is properly before the Court, do ordinance s Nos. 339 and 355 together sufficiently meet the objections which led the Court to set aside the ordinance considered in Gurry v. State, 121 Md., 534? 4. If such supplemental ordinance cannot be properly considered by this Court, does ordinance No. 339 sufficiently meet the objections which led the Court to set aside the ordinance considered in Gurry vs. State, 121 Md. 534? Atten ion is called to the fact of a lack of public notice as to whether a block is "white" or "colored." a block is "white" or "colored." Former City Councilman A. C. Binswanger attacked the ordinance on its passage, claiming that it did not specify what blocks are "white" or "colored" and that there are other defect. Some of his objections were similar to the ones given by the Court of Appeals in order- ing reargument. The decision of the Court means that the local ordinance will be in effect pending the action to be taken by the Supreme Court of the United States. LARGE CROWDS ATTEND HEALTH CONFERENCE Large crowds have been attesting their interest in the great problems of health conservation by attending the meetings of the second annual Health Conference of the Maryland Colored Public Health Association at Bethel A. M. E Church, Wedn-sday, Thursday and Friday of his week. The program included addresses by prominent speakers as well as an exhibit in chapel of the church under the auspices of the Milk Committee of the Women's Cooperative Civic League and motion pictures. In opening the conference Wednesday night Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, president, called attention to the movement looking to the improvement of the general health of the community, mentioning the efforts made for better housing, and the recent rally to the aid of Provident Hospital. In a few brief remarks Dr. J. T. Finney, the eminent specialist said there need not be any diseases if people were careful, and intelligent, and that 25 percent of all human ills were directly traceable to tuberculosis, concluding with a plea for cooperation in stamping out this scourge. Health Commissioner Blake said that every citizen could help to improve the Health Commission, and their work would be made much easier by the cooperation the physicians and the laymen. Prof. Kelly Miller drew laughter from the audience by stating that life was the only thing man could not get along without, and he should therefore be all the more careful to conserve it. On Thursday night Dr. Charles Odonovan took up the question of children's diseases in detail, and discussed their preventative. Prof. John R. Hawkins made plain the deed for conservation of moral, intellectual, as well as physical forces. Father George Griffiths made an seathing attack on the present segregation of the race. On Friday night Major R. R. Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee Institute, addressed a packed house. CHISUM GUILTY OF CRIMINAL LIBEI Oklahoma City, Okla., March 14.—Melvin Chisum, at one time or another, real estate operator in New York and Norfolk, Va.; cashier of a bank in Salisbury, Md., editor of a newspaper in Baltimore, Md., president of the National Press Association and editor of a paper in this city, was found guilty of criminal libel by a jury sitting before Judge Chappel. Lawyers for Chisum appealed the case, Judge Chappel suspended sentence and release Chisum on his own recognizance, to appear Monday with his lawyers, who by that time shall have a motion for a new trial prepared. The case came out of alleged libelous articles which appeared some time ago in the Oklahoma Tribune, charging Inman E. Page with the responsibility for certain revoting practices at Langston University. Following the charges Mr. Page immediately resigned as president of the University and filed charges against Chisum, who is editor of the Tribune. At the recent meeting of the State Board of Education, J. M. Maraques, principal of the High School at Kansas City, Kan., for the past eight years, was elected to succeed Prof. I. B. McCutcheon as head of the university. Prof. McCutcheon has acted as president since the resignation of Prof. Page PRICE THREE CENTS OVER $4,000 FOR HOSPITAL OVER $4,000 FOR HOSPITAL Over Eleven Hundred Dollars of Money Raised for Provident Hospital is in Ac- In the recent campaign for $10,000 for Provident Hospital, instituted by prominent citizens headed by Mr. Hugh M. Burkett, over $4,000 was raised, $1130 of which was in cash and $2886.36 in pledges. The failure of the State to make its annual appropriation to the hospital last year put the institution in such dire financial straits as to necessitate such a campaign, or some other similar means for raising money that the doors of the hospital might be kept open. Mr. Burkett, in whose mind the idea and feasibility of the campaign orinated set to work on his plan and organized a city-wide campaign, with a number of committees classified as waiters, doctors, teachers, citizens, business men, clergymen, children, ladies, and various fraternal organizations. of all faceable with a camping The committees met each night at Elks Hall and reported after the meal which was served them. At the close of the campaign Friday night it was found that the wait- ers, headed by Mr. Wm. White had raised the most money for the hospital $1000,90, about $600 of which was in cash, and were entitled to the silver loving cup promised to the team raising the highest amount. The amounts raised by the other teams follow: Doctors $613.50 Teachers 606.83 Odd Fellows 348.93 Citizens 310.00 Pythians 207.60 Business Men 191.98 Clergymen 177.93 Children 150.48 Ladies 129.50 Elks 90.70 Board of Directors 71.25 Masons 62.40 Moses 55.00 Good Hopes no report as yet Fishermen, no report as yet Nazarites, no report as yet Like said help to dismission, made mention the Daughter ing that n could and he be more Charles tion of ill, and Prof. Bain the moral, physical griffiths on the pace. R.

The teams will continue to meet every Friday night until they have raised their pro rata. At the meeting last Friday night Mr. Wm. White was presented the handsome silver loving cup. DREW BANQUETTED Brooklyn, N. Y. — Prominer citizens, and sport followers from all over New York attended a testimonial banquet tendered Howard P. Drew, the world's champion spinner, of the University of Southern California, at the Hof Brau House, last Friday night. In the address of the evening Mr. Drew spoke intre tingly of his achievements in track athletics, and his trip to Stockholm for the Olympic games. He gave great praise to the athletic clubs, and sporting writers of New York, whom he said were doing much to further the interest of athletics in his part of the country. PROMINENT FARMER DEAD Tappahannock, Va., March 16.—Isaac Wyatt, one of the best known farmers in Essex county, died here a few days ago, aged 80. He had been in ill health for some time. --- MORE ABOUT THE ADVENTISTS. WHO ARE THE ADVENTISTS, AND WHAT IS THE BASIS OF THEIR BELIEF AND TEACHING? . Will the Editor of the "Afro-American" allow me a word further on the above topic? I said in my article that the Adventists were the followers of William Miller. But your correspondent positively denies the truthfulness of that statement. So I will produce the authority upon which I made the assertion, and I will allow your readers to judge of the truthfulness of my statement. It reads thus: "Adventists is the name of a modern sect of Millennarians who owe their origin to William Miller, after whom they are usually named. He fixed 1843 as the time our Lord was to appear, and as he and a follower called Himes had gathered a large number of followers, chiefly among the uneducated and ignorant classes, they were greatly excited as the time drew near, and several thousands of deluded men and women remained out at night expecting the descent of the Lord. Other predictions fixed other dates, but, of course, as these failed, numbers of 'the faithful' fell off. There is still an Adventist body who are thus waiting, but they are cautious now, having learned from the mistakes of Miller and Himes." (From the Encyclopadia of Universal Knowledge, page 60.) I also quote from Lippincott's Biographical Dictionary, page 1588, the following: "William Miller, founder of the sect of the Millerites, was born at Pittsfield, Mass., in 1781. About 1833 he began to prophesy the end of the world, which he affirmed would be destroyed in 1843. He died in 1849; and his followers, who are said to have numbered nearly fifty thousand, have since greatly decreased." Now it is logically evident, that when I said the Seventh Day Adventists were the followers of one certain false prophet named Miller, I did not mean that he still lived and walked about Baltimore, and that his disciples were following him personally about the streets of the city; but that they had imbibed Miller's doctrines, and were teaching the same to others. For it is in that sense that Christians are the followers of Christ, and they cannot be His followers in any other way. I wish to call attention to a statement like this, in the correspondent's article: "Miller wrongly understood, not the time, but the event associated Now let us accept the statement he makes that some unknown and unnamed person, did, in 1005, offer five hundred dollars to anyone who would point to a known case that the early Adventists ever dressed in white ascension robes. How would that prove that the Seventh Day Adventists are now any less deceived than were their early founders? Your correspondent says they were two "rowdies" and not Millerites, who put on white robes and went up on the house top and mocked the believers who prayed inside. He says they were rowdies, but what proof does he give that they were not Adventists? None whatever. Again, your correspondent implies that I said Assyria succeeded Medo-Persia. I said nothing about Assyria succeeding "Medo-Persia," or any of the kingdoms succeeding each other—the word "succeeded" is not found in my article. I did say that Rone was no more, and repeat it with the time." But the time was just the thing he did wrongly understand, and therefore predicted that this world would be destroyed in the year 1843, and the event has not happened yet, and the Seventh Day Adventists are still believing and following the false teaching and prophecy of Miller. here; but the other part are the words of your correspondent, and not mine. Is this honest? He says further that "Nothing is said in the Bible about the Kingdom of God being erected after the fall of consolidated Rome, but rather after the destruction of the ten divisions of Rome, or the ten toes of the image." He is still leaving the public to believe that he is refuting statements that I made. I ask again, readers; is this honest? I said nothing about any ten divisions or toes. I spoke of the image, the whole image, which Daniel said was broken to pieces, "and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them." But your correspondent finds one of the toes over in France, which was formerly Gaul; and the Franks are offsprings of the Germans, and one of the German tribes. And I will ask him not simply make assertions, but link the toes historically on to any of those kingdoms that Daniel spoke of, whether Franks, or Anglo-Saxons. That the Franks were of German origin, I quote from Chambers' Encyclopaedia the following paragraph (Vol. 1, page 494): "Franks was the name assumed by a confederation of German tribes that appeared on the lower Rhine in the third century, and afterwards overthrew the Roman dominion in Gaul." Also this, from Putnam's Index to Universal History, page 382: "France was known to the Romans by the name of Gaul. In the decline of their power it was conquered by the Franks, a people of Germany, then inhabiting what is still called Franconia. These invaders gave the name to the kingdom; but the Gauls, being by far the most numerous, are the real ancestors of the modern French." I further state that the real historical origin of the Germans is unknown. Therefore they could not have constituted one of the kingdoms of Consolidated Rome; and so the Franks could not be one of the toes that Daniel saw, which your correspondent declares it to be. Another thing your correspondent seems not to know, or it has slipped his memory is, that it is "kingdoms" that are to be destroyed when Christ comes, according to Seventh Day Adventists, and that France is not a kingdom any longer, but a republic, that has a president and not a king. The words of Daniel are that "in the days of these kings shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom." I repeat that France has not a king, but a president, and that moves it entirely out of the category of the kingdoms they say are to be destroyed when Christ comes. Just here I would like to ask your correspondent, since he has only found two of the toes, the Franks and Anglo-Saxons, to point out to your readers the existence of the remaining eight; where they are located, and what kingdoms they constitute. But he will remember that Germany cannot be one of them, because it did not constitute a part of Consolidated Rome. Germany is not a kingdom, but an empire, and is ruled by an emperor, and not a king. It consists of "26 states, namely: Prussia, Heligoland, Bavaria, Saxony, Württemberg Baden, etc." I said in my article that Christ fulfilled and took away the Jewish law (Heb. 10: 9), but established a new one which is five-fold stronger than the old one. But your correspondent in answer, has tried to make it appear that I had declared that there is no law. Now in order that your readers may see how misleading are his statements, I insert the following paragraph from his letter: "The Adventist could never be made to believe that there was no law. Where there is no law there is no sin. If there is no law then to take your pocketbook would not be an offence. What man will agree to this? If the law is abolished why does our state hang men for killing? Why does the Lord in the very last book of the Bible say that all whore-mongers shall have their part in the lake of fire, if the law against adultery is void? Such doctrine nearly ruined France, for in 1791-93 the Ten Commandments were abolished, a woman was worshipped as the Goddess of Reason, etc." Now the law I did was substituted for the old law, is found in the Sermon on the Mount, (Matt. V). I just quote a few specimens and leave the reader to examine the whole: "We have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment . . . and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: but I say unto you that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." I know of nothing in the decalogue to compare with that, for in the old law, the crime had to be actually committed, and witnesses to prove it. Jesus here says it can be committed with the eye: "Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite the on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also;" and so on through the list. Now Mr. Editor, my motive in inserting these passages from the law of Christ, is to show that I have not left the people without a law, (and a strong one) as your correspondent has virtually said I did. I said the Seventh Day Adventists were keeping the Jewish Sabbath. The Jews rejected Christ, and continued to worship under the old law, thus avoiding the acknowledgment of Christ as the Messiah of the Jew. So the Seventh Day Adventists, having taken up the seventh day as a day of worship, simply join the Jews in rejecting Christ, and therefore cannot be the followers of Jesus Christ. It was true of Israel of old, that they could not serve God and Baal, and neither can the Seventh Day Adventists serve God and Moses, which they do when they worship under the old law, for it is called the law of Moses in more than one place in the Scripture; and it is also called the law of Moses and Israel, in Mal. 4: 4, which reads "Remember the law of Moses." It is so called also, in Heb. 10: 28, and reads thus: "He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses," and in Webster's Dictionary it is called the Mosaic law. Mr. Editor, will your correspondent require more proof that the law of the Old Testament is Jewish? Then again, he asserts with all the positiveness of one who is in possession of the facts necessary to know, that Miller was correct when he predicted the very date of Christ's second coming. He says that between 1833 and 1834 "William Miller had unravelled the prophecy of the 2,300 days." Now the fact is, that Miller did not unravel the prophecy of Daniel, but greatly tangled it, for he made the prophet say that Christ would come again to destroy the world in 1843, and Miller has been dead since 1849, and Christ has not come yet; and still, your correspondent is trying to make the public believe that William Miller had explained what Daniel meant to teach in chapter 9: 25. Now Mr. Editor, I will relieve your columns of further burden on this subject, for I do not wish to continue a discussion with a person that will so frequently and grossly pervert my words, substituting his own for mine, which I have shown he has done over and over again, in his article. Thanking you in advance for your favor of allowing space for this reply, I am Yours respectfully.

EXERTS A WIDE INFLUENCE Progress of Famous Ohio Institution Is Kept Abreast of the Times by Able and Wise Management-An Increase In Funds For Endowment and Equipment Is Needed. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The progress of Wilberforce university, Wilberforce, O., within recent years has been in a large measure in keeping with the ideas and aims of its founders and supporters. Its growth in public favor and usefulness shows that its president, board of trustees and faculty keep abreast of the times in directing the work of the institution along safe and definite lines. While PETER H. BURGESS DR. W. B. SCARBOROUGH. there have been several additions to the equipment during the past eight years, there is still a pressing need of more room, more funds toward the endowment and money to meet current and incidental expenses promptly. The influence of Wilberforce on the mental, social and moral welfare of the colored race, not only of Ohio, but of the whole country is well high incalculable. Ten thousand students have received training at Wilberforce. Five hundred teachers have gone forth into every state and into all lands to uplift the race, many are teachers in and presidents of other colleges, some are professional men and hundreds are splendid mechanics, due to industrial training at Wilberforce. The buildings grouped around the college campus are artistic and massive and commemorate by name the noble members of the race who have contributed so much to the upholding of Wilberforce—Shorter hall, Mitchell hall, Arnett hall and others—and in 1000 the fine trades building was completed and named Galloway hall in honor of Dr. William A. Galloway of Xenia, who has served as trustee seventeen years and to whom perhaps Wilberforce university owes more than to any other white citizen of the state. Above the ornate entrance of Galloway hall, chiselled in the enduring rock. Is this splendid sentiment, "A Sound Body, a Trained Hand, a Trained Mind, a True Heart." President Scarborough has received much encouragement from both white and colored people in his conduct of the affairs of Wilberforce, and this has enabled him to a great work for the institution. In reply to a letter from Dr. Scarborough Dr. Susanna W. Dodds writes: "I thank you for your letter and also the circular. My sympathies have always been enlisted for Wilberforce and its prosperity. This for two reasons. In the first place, the cause which it represents is a most deserving one. The sooner we can obliterate the race prejudice which exists in this country the better it will be for all concerned, and there is no way in which this can be so successfully done as by education, just such as Wilberforce is giving. "Another reason for my warm attachment for Wilberforce is that for many years those who were instrumental in calling it into existence were good friends of mine; they had the cause at heart and worked faithfully for it." Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of the Hampton (Va.) institute, in a letter to Dr. Scarborough also speaks highly of the work. He says: "Wilberforce has had a long and honorable record and it has been a power of good in the past, and I have reason to hope and believe that, under your direction, it will do still greater things in the future. While I have never had the opportunity to examine its work, I feel sure that it is deserving of the support of all those who are interested in the education of the colored race. I intend, as opportunity offers, to visit the institution, and then I can speak from personal examination of its worth." Criticism from sources jealous of the institution's progress under Dr. Scarborough's management does not count for much in the face of such warm words of good will from men and women of culture and broadmindedness as are quoted here.

The rider to the legislatives Appropriation Bill to compel government clerks to work eight hours per day instead of seven as now was lost in the House on Wednesday by the vote of four to one. Mr. Borland's objection that it allowed married couples to work together and at the same time raise respectable families was evidently lost on the main body of the representatives Just when the passage of a segregation ordinance by popular vote in the city of Louisville, Ky., had humiliated the colored people as they have been humiliated in this city, the state Senate added to the burden by the passage of a jim crow street car bill. The vote stood 18 to 12 in favor of the measure for separate cars. There is yet hope, and the people are working to kill the bill when it comes be fore the House. The number of cases of thieves who have returned after many cars money or jewelry, of debtors who have turned up and paid up bills long given up as non-collctable, or of bad boys, whom repentant old age led to attempt some atonement for a wrong which could not be erased from their troubled conscience, the number of such cases is legion. A more remarkable instance of the same category is that of a wealthy grain broker of Pulaski, Tenn., who appeared before Judge Givens in the Circuit Court of Indiana, and asked permission to adopt a seventeen year old mulatto girl, Eugenia Murray. He confessed that the pretty colored girl, who could past for white if she wished, was his own daughter, and that he only wished to "right a wrong one many years ago." BOOKER T. WASHINGTON FUND Thru the Booker Washington Memorial Executive Committee which is to be composed of a number of local gentlemen, who knew Mr. Washington best and sympathized in his work, the movement for raising of the Memorial Fund of two million dollars, of which the colored people of the country are asked to contribute $250,000, will soon be launched in the effort to obtain a contribution. large or small, from Baltimore's ninety thousand colored people. The amount raised by the Executive Committee, to whom the work as far as o organization and execution is concerned, will represent this city's definite tribute to the memory of the great Tuskegean A part of the committee plans includes the appeal for a special collection from the school children on April 5th, recently determined to be the anniversary of Dr. Washington's birth. If the plans of the committee do not miscarry, Baltimore like other cities will be represented in the Washington Fund by a tidy sum. HATE OF A NATION There is no need of a microscope to find just the methods employed in the "Birth of a Nation" which justify terming it a vicious film with vicious methods. The film does not depend for its popularity on the fact that it represents scenes from the civil war on a large scale, at a time when the public eye meets constantly war news in the dail es and war pictures in the movies on a smaller scale, but besides this depends on an appeal to the ear thru martial music. At the same time the near-success of a black villain and the rescue in the nick of time make a bid for race hatred stronger than any play yet shown in the country. To be more specific, there is hardly a theater audience from Maine to Florida that does not applaud the orchestra when it plays "Dixie," and the intensity of the applause increases to an unroar as you pass the Mason and Dixon's line going South. Hardly less in volume is the evidence of approval when the villian of the film is struck down by the hero, a la Hairbreath Harry, and the lovely, innocent heroine flies to the arms of the manly rescuer. To make use of these two methods to win popular applause is the stock in trade of every ordinary moving picture. Here is where the originality, the almost devilish ingenuity of Thomas Dixon comes in. The villain is portrayed a traitorous, brutal colored man, the heroine, a good hearted, lovely white girl. In the struggle brute force overcomes beauty and trustfulness, and is on the point of triumphing. when in a whirlwind of horses and riders the hero arrives in time to save his fainting bride. Any ordinary moving picture hero would have gained sympathy for the rescue, but this man is saving not only the individual but the race from Negro domination (?) and he does it to the tune of "Dixie." Small wonder that the film elicited not only the usual clapping, but vells of rage and screams of hate, that did not cease with the end of the show. Thomas Dixon started out to make a play that should foment hatred between the races. How well he has succeeded might be judge by the remark of a colored man, "the most disgusting thing I have ever seen," and that of a white man last Saturday after the performance, "I should like to kill all of the damn niggers in the United States."

A AND DUNBAR GAME A lively game is expected tonight when the Washington Y. M. C. A. and the Dunbar A. A. line up in the formers' gymnasium. The Dunbar is not contemplating an easy victory over the pupils of Arthur E. Wheeler, and are leaving nothing undone that will put them in a fine fighting trim for tonight test. Coach Bantum will carry a select bunch to the Capital City in an earnest endeavor to continue his team's clean slate of victories thus far this season. The basketball game will be one of the main features of an athletic exhibition which will be the program for the evening. Drills, exercises with dumbbells, and boxing will be some of the other events of the evening. D. J. Lewis and Raymond Hughes winners in the recent membership campaign of the local Y. M. C. A. have been awarded a trip to Washington and they with Secretary Booker, and a few Dunbar followers will be on hand to root for their home team. The Dunbar five set the pace for local teams respecting uniforms when they trotted out their white numbered jerseys in their recent game at St. Mary's Hall. They were thus easily distinguishable from their opponents and made a rather natty appearance. Local basketball rooters will have a busy time during the next two or three weeks. Games have been scheduled for Bethel Chapel between High School and Dunbar; High School and Armstrong; Dunbar and Easton; Dunbar and the Washington Y. M. C. A. and High School and Armstrong. Both High School and Dunbar will probably play St. Mary's for the championship of the city. POLLARD CHOOSEN FOR BROWN UNIVERSITY BASEDALL TEAM UNIVERSITY BASCALL TEAM Coach Tates of the Brown University baseball team has included Fritz Pollard in his final selection of candidates for the squad, until more active practice is begun outdoors. Pollard was a star in the football and track teams only recently making an indoor record of 8 3-5 seconds for the 65 yard hurdles in a meet held in Boston. At the indoor games of the Meadowbrook Club in Philadelphia last Saturday night Brook Brewer, (white) of St. Albans school, showed the way to the three best colored sprinters in the country, in the 50 yard invitation scratch race. The king of sprinters, the peerless Howard Drew, pulled up fourth, while Roy Morse finished just ahead of him in third place while Irving T. Howe of the Boston Y M. C. A. failed to pace. The result was one of the big surprises of the evening. While Brewers' ability was well known it was not thought that he could take the measure of such men as he defeated. He defeated Drew in the trial heat as well as in the finals. Drew's defeat can be attributed to a trouble stomach. He said that he felt fit in the preliminary heat, but when the time for the final heat arrived, he was seized with slight cramps. Drew broke at the start, which is something he rarelv does. Ted Weredith who will measure strides with "Sol" Butler of Iowa, in a special 300 yard race tonight in the A. A. U. games, beat the world's record for 660 yard by two seconds, stepping the distance in 1:21 2-5 defeating Caldwell and Baker. Y. M. C. A. CLOSE SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN The big Y. M. C. A. membership campaign was a howling success. Secretary Booker and the big organization of men made the final dash a HUMMER. The national league organization headed by Dr. Reid won the cham. ionship, scoring 265 runs and defeating the American league headed by Dr. Jos B. Mason. The American league scored 178 runs.

The Washington boys played a game far superior to the one they put up against the local lads in their recent game in Washington. The game was the first one to be played in the Chapel since it was turned into an athletic centre more than a month ago and it was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic crowd who rooted wildly for the home team. The Howard team got the jump on the local lads from the sound of the whistle, and seared several goals before the bewildered High School players could get themselves together. By the time the first half had ended the Capital City boys had gained a commanding lead and one that the locals were not destined to overcome. Harris, the star forward, who was unable to be in the game, was sadly missed from the High School lineup, and it was not until the last ten minutes of play that they showed any fighting form at all, but the spurt came, too late as the advantage gained in the early stages of the game by the Washingtonians, could not be overcome. Smith played a good game for High School during the short time he was in the game. McKenzie and Page, Howards' guards, covered their men well and effortually checked many of their attempts at scoring. Line up: Howard—Goynes and Hopkins, forwards; Francis and Gaskins, center; McKenzie and Page, guards; Henry and Mickey. High School—Lane and Lee, forwards; Gee, center; Levi and Lyles, guards. Smith sub. "THREE OLD MEN" With apologies to "Mother Goose" There was an ole man named Webb At nine every night was in bed?

A. writes that a first class athletic organization is being formed in that city and he hopes for a great revival of inter-city athletics, to include a joint outdoor meet in the spring of the year. DIRTY SHIRT DOESN'T MAKE A GOOD ATHLETE Dr. Elliot and Mr. Kirkpatrick, both members of the department of physical education at Columbia, issued an order yesterday against the athletes and freshmen who are taking the prescribed course in physical education and who think they are improving their ability by wearing jersies and gymnasium shirts discolored by liniments. By March 20 every freshman is excepted to come to class in a shirt as spotless as the driven snow. Dr. Elliot does not believe that a clean shirt makes an athlete run like a novice, although it might make him look like one. Those failing to do so will be treated in the light of students having flunked because of inability to apply thier knowledge of sanitary hygiene. ed 54, the second highest, with Irwin Hughes, the young recruit of the cardinals of close third, scoring 44 runs. Needless to say the race was inter-sting, that you know, when we tell you that every man on going home had to face an application blank and meet an argument by one of the workers. The interest was keen on the last two days and every worker was in dead earnest. At the final conference, Secretary Booker pleaded for 500 men and boys and exclaimed that the campaign would close Monday evening. "We must have the men" yelled the workers and away to the homes, restaurants, halls, clubs, and churches in search of men and boys. Many of the workers left their homes, missed their meals and Respectfully dedicated, D. A.

Taylor, New Orleans, La.—When a fellow gets away from the St. Louis police and gets out in the world he is just like a bird out of a cage I can imagine, yet I have never seen a bird get out of a cage and do not know just how it would not. You will recall what I had to say to you last week about the public, and the man who stole my spelling machine. Well he got thirty days in the workhouse and I was permitted to leave the city on my journey to another part of the world. I have in mind to say some pretty straight things this week. I have the evil round and about me, and I am fighting hard to keep him out and hope to succeed and if I will praise all of you. One or two little things have happened around and about New Orleans University, that have caused me to think and ask whether the spirit of their fathers has found its way into some of the men who are at the head of schools for our children these days? I fear at times that the spirit has gone another way. But then I think it is wrong to expect a white man to be a Negro or a Negro to be a white man. I will let this go here for a while and will come back in full shape just as soon as I can get all my data together. I do not want to misrepresent any thing. You see I am down here in the South trying to serve God. The country is full of race prejudice, and I think I have my share of it, so the things I must do is not to try to kill some one but strive to build up. I want to see some of the many organizations of our country get on the Lord's side and see what the Lord hath done for them. Some people are claiming to represent God that will find in the end that they made a mistake and they will go where the fire was never known to even burn low. Since I wrote to you last I have been doing some riding, and I am to do some more. I find that the Baptists are all getting ready for big Sunday School Congresses. Of course there will be two, just as there will be two conventions. The oldest congress will be held in Vicksburg. This will be by the forces allied with R. H. Boyd, D. D., and E. P. Jones, D. D. While those who are sticking with the old National Baptist convention will hold big Congress in Memphis, Tenn. It will be a combination meeting, because the B.Y.P.U. will be on hand and will hold a meeting at the same time. The Baptists of Memphis are working as never before to make that meeting a success, and it will be well represented. It will be the biggest meeting of its kind ever held in the South. People will be here from all parts of the country, and Sunday school methods will be studied and plans adopted to do greater and more efficient work. At the meetirga of the Executive Committee held in Nashville a few days ago, this met with the hearty indorsement of the Board. Then after that meeting all attention will be turned to the meet in Savannah, Ga. I shall have something to say to you later about these things. I am now in New Orleans, I think I was in Meridian, when I took up my pen to say what I said in the last letter. I was there with several friends, now I am in this part of the world. Meridian is some big Mississippi town, and is full grown, still there is room for improvement. Leaving there I went down the M. and O. line to Mobile, where I had the pleasure of meeting the Knox Brothers, leading undertakers and human planters of the town. These young men are sticking strictly to business. They are polite and courteous. They came along when beauty was scarce and will never take a premium in a beauty contest. Chatted a little bit with Dr. H. Roger Williams, then went to my stopping place slept like a log until the next morning when I board the L. and N. carriage for New Orleans. This was a nice ride. This road has made some improvements for our people, and will soon be the foremost road in the whole South. Smoking room, separate toilets, and all these accommodations have been arranged, and it is hard to tell where they will stop. The South is getting full of something. For now in Mississippi they want to close up the schools where there are white teachers. Some of them need to be closed up, or a new set of white people put in them. That little school at Edwards, is not the best thing for our people. The officials there are as full of race prejudice as a big fat tick is of human blood. But then there is Mary Holmes Seminary which could be put in the ban, and this is one of the finest schools in all this country. They have fine people there. Dr. and Mrs. Johnson are worthy people, and should always be encouraged. They have done great big work for our people and are still doing it. There are not many schools in Mississippi with white teachers. I want those that will stand to stand. The New Orleans Item, a daily paper published in the afternoon had the following editorial: "BACIAL INTEGRITY" "Mississippi legislature has before it a bill prohibiting white men or women from instructing Negroes in schools. "Why does the measure not go further and forbid churches taking up collections to sustain missionaries in Africa? "Had no white men or women ever undertaken to instruct Negroes, there would have been no Booker T. Washington, no Major Moton to succeed him, no man like President Clark of Louisiana's own agricultural and mechanical school for Negroes. Not even the most fanatical racial forebrand can deny truthfully that Washington, Moton, Clark, have helped the sum total of racial peace and of civilization in the South as it concerns both whites and Negroes. "It is not from the devoted men and women who are willing to sacrifice themselves to uplifting a primitive race, that 'white supremacy' is up to suffer. The wounds to racial integrity come from another source. Mongrelixation is no by-product of sane education given to the Negroes. It does not flow from activities of schools and colleges sustained by private benevolence or by the churches to uplift the Negro." I reproduce this without comment. I am spending a few days with Rev. S. L. Green, who is the new pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church succeeding Dr. M. R. Dixon. He is now in the harness and is rendering good service. Dr. Green is one of our best trained ministers, and the A. M. E. Church as well as the race should feel proud of him. He is taking hold striving to get the debt well in hand and then he is going to turn his attention to other items. In the back yard, he is putting forth an effort to have a big play ground for children. I think I shall have much to say to you about the affair in another letter. Just now Dr. Green is getting ready for the General Conference at which time and place he hopes to have Dr. S P. Felder, of Mississippi elevated to the highest position in the church. Mrs. S. L. Green, is one of the best trained women of our race. She is from Arkansas. Her people put her in school and kept her there until she was prepared to do something. Now she is working by the side of her husband. They have two children and will educate them. I shall have something to say about Bessemer and other things later. Send me a letter care Florida Baptist College, Jacksonville, Fla. In a world like this it is nice to be broad. The Lord never intended me for a newspaper man, and I am out of my place when I try to mix with them. I never realized that so much as I did when I attended the National Negro Press Association, and there I was not valuable enough to get put on a single committee. President Chisium had nothing for me to do there. Well I will remain with them until the Lord tells me to come up higher. After they had closed, Editor Chisum told me that he was going to speak to President C. J. Perry and get him to put me on some kind of committee, but I told him that it was "not necessary." I was there and had the pleasure of remaining there.

Dear Readers: Whenever we pick up a daily newspaper, we usually find a page for women readers, and some where on that page is found a short sketch, sometimes a long sketch of some noted women, or of some one woman not so well known and often if it can be accomplished, her picture heads the sketch, the length of the article depending on how much the writer knows of the person in question added to what they have been able to get the woman herself to tell. We have quite a few women of our race who are doing things worth while and most of their life is devoted to some form of public work, and in doing things worth while that the public often knows nothing of. I think we should know these women, and our children should know of them and learn to honor them not only for what they have accomplished, but for what they are trying so hard to accomplish. now and in the future. Some of these women are single women, but the majority are married women, and with all their service to the public are loving mothers and wives. We have noble Christian women, devoted church workers, civic league workers, children's welfare workers, suffrage workers, teachers and writers of note and various other professions filled by them too numerous to mention, all together forming a Federation of Women that any race of people may be proud of. I have written personally to a few of these women asking for a general outline of the work they are most interested in, so as to present it to you, while they are living examples for us and our children, as I'm a firm believer in honoring those to whom honor is due and let them see we appreciate the effort and sacrifice they are making in our behalf. M. MRS. MARY F. HANDY Mrs. Mary F. Handy, the subject of this sketch is a well known Baltimore woman, and widow of the late Bishop James A. Handy. All her life has been spent, practically in helping others. She is a woman that in charitable deeds never lets her left hand know what the right hand has done, a woman of high moral standing, of the strictest integrity, and thoroughly alive to every opportunity. Always willing to work no matter who lags, a woman whose example we may all strive to equal and be the richer for so doing. She is interest-d in the Old Women's Home of the A. M. E. Church, the C. Y. W. C. A., the Women's Federation, the Mite Society of the A. M. E. Church and many other organizations. Mrs. Handy is the dearly loved president of the Parent Women's Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church, and the Editor of this column is indebted to her for the following facts regarding the organization. W. M. M. SOCIETY The society was organized to assist Rev. Mossell and his dearly loved wife when they went to Haiti It was organized forty-two years ago. It has been supporting West Africa for over twenty-five years and since the election of Bishop J. Albert Johnson they have been helping South Africa. They have been paying West Africa for the last four years five hundred dollars a quarter and South Africa two hundred dollars a quarter: Barbadoes forty dollars a quarter, besides helping in other parts of the West Indies. The society used to operate in Florida, Virginia, the State of Kentucky, the entire West, Southwest and all Northern States. They collected last four years sixty-eight thousand dollars. This was divided in half, one-half for ministers at home and one-half for foreign work. The Convention at Detroit was a fine success. They had on exhibition over three hundred dollars worth of goods. M. F. H. Of course the men have a hand in managing the money, but if the finances were left entirely to the women unencumbered they would be able to accomplish more and be able to collect more money, as they have an organization in the South called the "Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society that raised $5,000 in the last four years. But poor men they imagine no one can handle money but them, yet if they would keep hands off better work could be done, and more effective work. HANDS OFF MR.

JOY History Connected With Aged Woman Whose Freedom Beecher Purchased. The following account of the death of Mrs. Louise R. Joy by John H. Payunter, which appeared in the Washington Post in February, is interesting for many reasons. The reference to the part taken by the late Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and the Plymouth church in Brooklyn is of much historical value. Mr. Payunter's article reads thus: A few days ago the mortal remains of Mrs. Louisa R. Joy, whose residence in the District covered a period of nearly seventy years, were laid to rest. Her entire life was symbolized by an unwavering faith in God, devotion to the church and loving service to her family. The passing of this splendid Christian character is otherwise notable, too, for she was the last of the eighteen sons and daughters of Paul and Amelia Edmonson, seven of whom were associated with seventy others in an effort to escape from slavery in 1848. The attempt was unsuccessful, mainly through information furnished the masters by one Judson Diggs, a free colored man, who had a small personal spite to satisfy. The steamer Pearl, with its cargo of fugitives, was overlaid at Cornfield Harbor, a landing on the Potomac river, and the masters, anticipating resistance, boarded her with pistols and clubs drawn, but were specially reassured when Richard Edmonson stuck his head above the hatchway and exclaimed: "Do thyself no harm, gentlemen. We are all here." The slaves were returned to Washington, and most of them were eventually sold in the southern slave market. Two of these sisters, Emily and Mary, were saved from this fate mainly through the efforts of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who held a large meeting in his famous Brooklyn church, at which time the money for their deliverance from slavery was enthusiastically subscribed. A little later the aged another herself journeyed to New York and was equally successful in enlisting the sympathy and aid of Mr. Beecher for the rescue of the two remaining children, one of whom was Mrs. Louisa Joy, who has just passed away. Mrs. Harriet Beccher Stowe devotes much space in her key to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to the story of the Edmonson children and to the incident of the Pearl, which from the fact of its English ownership the attempted escape of shaves thereon was considered at the time a question of international importance.
