The Afro-American

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOL. XXIV. NO. 41 EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR BIG MARATHON Over 30 Runners Entered In Afro-American's Classic Athletic Event. SPECULATING ON THE WINNER Johnson, Finney, Ervin, Cromwell, and Jones Probable Candidates The classic athletic event of the year the Afro-American Five Mile Marathon, held this year under the joint auspices of the Afro-American and the Y. M. C. A., will start promptly at 11.30 o'clock this morning, when Fred Ballyntine of the Public Athletic League will fire the pistol that will start thirty-two of the best athletes of the country over a five mile course of city streets and country roads, in a grand struggle for honor and prizes. The wide-spread interest, which the annual running of this event has kindled is accentuated this year by the keen competition or the runners of the various clubs, that include the well known Dunbar, St. Mary's, Trinity, and Salem-Crescent, the latter of New York; Morgan College, whose representative in the person of Robert Earl Johnson, captured first prize last year; and the Y. M. C. A., which, while not represented at all the two years previous, has entered several runners this year, who give promise of defeating the best the other clubs can offer. The runners of all the clubs, as well as the unattached men, have trained faithfully, and if we are any judge of things athletic, last year's record for the distance will be smashed to bits and the world's record given a hard rub. The Dunbar Club has entered thirteen runners who will endeavor to get the club trophy, if nothing more, while on the quiet Trainer Bantum is coaching a "dark horse" for first place. Speculation on first place is a hard proposition when there are only four or five contestants forthat honor, but when it comes to picking a winner from among a field of over thirty runners would tax the wisdom of so wise a man as old King Solomon, who was supposed to know everything. We can only say whom we think has a fair chance of being the first to breast the tape. Of course there are the winners of the two previous races, namely&Tom Jones and Earl Johnson. Johnson's time last year was a minute better than Jones' the previous year. Johnson has participated in several races since, while Jones has run in only short distance affairs, so that unless something happens, Johnson should eliminate Jones' chances. With the absence of Boley from the ranks, Finney, who finished right on Boley's heels last year, is looked upon as one likely to worry Finney. Finney seems to have unlimited wind, and a thor ambition to finish first, which, together with his knowledge of the running game, gained from his trainer, Bantum, makes him an adversary worthy of his steel. In the person of Stanley Irvin, entered for the Y. M. C. A., who has participated in several long distance races, and who claims to have negotiated the five mile distance in something less than thirty minutes, and George Creed, of the Salem-Crescent Club, of New York, we have two men who may loom up large as championship prospects. The ability of both of these runners is unquestioned and it resolves itself into a question of whether or not their unfamiliarity with the course will be sufficient handicap to keep them from winning. Charles Cromwell, of the Trinity Athletic Club, who finished second in the first year's race is not saying very much, but we know of his all-round athletic ability, and we have grave fears for the one who takes lightly his chances of coming in first. The management of the race is very highly gratified with the hearty response of all who have been asked to help make the event a success, and feels that they all have common interest in the physical welfare of our boys who would take this means of developing themselves into strong and healthy men.

NEW YORK TO HAVE COLORED REGIMENT New York, June 2- After a five year fight, New York State is to have a colored regiment as part or its National Guard. Leading colored men here began the fight in 1911, but failed. Governor Sulzer signed the Cuvillier bill authorizing the regiment in 1912. A hitch came because not enough colored men could be found to officer the regiment. That is, it is claimed that not enough came up to the requirements of the law. It was then suggested that white officers be selected. To this the sponsors of the regiment demurred, but they have consented now. White officers do not entirely meet the approval of leading colored men here, especially if it means the exclusion of those of the race who are qualified. Major Charles W. Filmore was at one time suggested to command the regiment. Leading daily newspapers here have passed favorable comments upon the prospect of a colored regiment. In view of the fact that it has just been brought out that there is a deep prejudice in some quarters here agains Jews serving in the same regiments with Gentiles, the following comment from the New York Times in interesting: "It is something distinctly and essentially wrong, as regards service for the National Guard, to divide into separate groups, by race, religion and social standing. American citizens, who, for this particular purpose at least, are supposed and officially declared to be on perfect equality. It is just this dividing, in one form or another, that causes or constitutes the Guard's most serious failure to be what it should. But that objection to a Negro regiment must be ignored if there is to be one at all, and the question whether there should be must be determined on other grounds. BALLY DAY AT AMES Last Sunday was rally day at Ames Memorial M. E. Church, Carey and Baker streets, the Rev. Albert J. Mitchell, pastor. The rally was conducted under two generals. Class Leader James Curtis was general of the Kingdom of Hope, with Colonels Goodrich, Waters and Loomis. This company raised $344.00. Class Leader Lane was general of the Kingdom of Faith, with Colonels Bailey, Queen and Thompson. This company has raised $333.00, other amounts reported made a total of $580.00. Other amounts will be reported this Sunday. Three men joined the church during the day. ANNUAL SCHOOL EXHIBIT The annual exhibit of the work of the pupils of School No. 112, Carey and School streets, will be held on Thursday, June 5th, when the parents and friends will have an opportunity to inspect the work of the children. The school will be open from $ until 10 o'clock in the evening. George B. Murphy is principal of the school. PROMINENT MEN SCORE LYNCHING Rev. Berle and Lawyer Wilson Decry Shameful Action Of Southern Mobs in Burning Colored Men Boston, Mass., June 1—Munition makers, stiflers of free speech, militant demagogues and lycheers were scored at the 49th annual convention of the Free Religious Association at Tremont Temple, last Friday night. Rev. Dr. A. Berle, of Cambridge, in an address on "International Peace" declared that advocates of preparedness are paving the way for the ammunition trust. He said further: "A few weeks ago a Negro convicted of a crime was taken from the court room by a mob and 15,000 people saw him soaked in oil, burned alive, and then his charred bones dragged thru the streets. Have you heard any one of these patriots, anxious about the rights of Americans, say a syllable about this gasly crime, which happened right under our own nose. Have you heard anything that suggests that a bigger army or a bigger navy would in the slightest degree affect a question like this? Shame upon the hypocrites who talk about 'safety' of Americans on the high seas or in Mexico and have not one syllable to raise, as ghastly an atrocity as has disfigured American history. Lawyer Butler R. Wilson, championed the race in an address on "Free Speech and Race Prejudice." Recalling the fact that when Woodrow Wilson was a candidate for election to the presidency, he promised absolute fair dealing with the Negro, together with every effort on his part to advance their interests, the speaker referred to the case of the colored man burned alive and asked: "In the presence of his assurance and in face of his oath, why has not President Wilson sent a message to Congress calling attention to this case? Is possible that race prejudice has crept into his heart, and that he is tongue-tied on the subject of lynching? In the case of the colored people of this country we have no free speech. Race prejudice nullifies the constitution of the United States; it overrides organic and statute law in many of the States. It appears in the courts and stilts the lawmakers and the administrators of the law from the county sheriffs to the chief magistrate of the nation. "By a refinement of cruelty we are menacod by laws establishing ghettos and by laws which would drive us out even from the military service of the country. Is there no law against a colored man being saturated with oil and burned alive with American men and women looking on? Are you to sit silent while this goes on, to our eternal shame and disgrace?" There were cries of "No" from the audience in response, and Mr. Wilson added: "All we ask is that we may have a man's chance—the opportunity of self-development, to march shoulder to shoulder with your-for the glory of our common country, for Christ and the Church." WHITE SUFFRAGETTES ASK COLORED WOMEN TO HELP Columbus, O., June 1—"Come and stand by us in helping women to get their rights," appealed the Franklin County Suffrage Association to the colored women of Columbus a few weeks ago. "Nothing doing on 'vote for women' until you promise to help the colored folks get something like equal social privileges with white people," was the substance of the answer made yesterday in a petition filed with the Suffrage Association meeting at its room in East Broad Street. And there the issue stands. "We have nothing to say against equal suffrage," said Mrs. Minnie E. Mosby, 604 Mt. Vernon avenue, secretary of the Columbus branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, "but before the colored women come out in favor of women suffrage we believe the white women backing the movement, should show their willingness to help wipe out the discrimination against colored people on the part of thetheaters, hotels, restaurants and soda fountains." The suffragists yesterday tabled a petition stating the colored women's position. MORGAN COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT MORGAN COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT Sharp Street Memorial Church was crowded to the doors Thursday evening to wittness the commencement exercises of Morgan College. The salutatory was delivered by J. H. Chase Kelly, and his subject was "The child of tomorrow." The valedictory was by Grafton Luther Moore whose subject was "The problem of unemployment." Eleven graduates received the degree of Bachelor of Arts nine from the College Preparatory Department, filling a two year course, and seven filling a one year course. The address to the graduates was delivered by Hon. Morris A. Soper, Chief Judge of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore. Judge Soner said in part: "We are here tonight to celebrate the achievements of these young people, and to congratulate them that they possess trained and well informed minds which only higher education can give, and to rejoice with them that the divine truths of the Christian religion are deep seated in their hearts. The stimulating thought that strikes one who views this splendid meeting is that the leading colored people of this community are enthusiastic in the belief that when they sek the solution of their problems, they find their chief reliance in that happy union of education and religion, which Morgan College teaches and typifies. "But we will not let these graduates go forth merely with jubilation and good wishes. What this community, what every community needs is leadership to bring out and develop the best that is in it. We fondly believe that in these young men and women has been developed a capacity for leadership, and this commencement will fall of its purpose if they do not go forth—not only with power, and with a deep sense of responsibility which shall inspire, yean, good and spur them on to persistent effort in behalf of their race, so long as life shall last. "My demand is that they shall make it their purpose to disseminate the truth about the colored people, wherever they may be, the truth about their occupations, their education, their health, their morals and their religion. If conditions are good, you may well rejoice; but if they are bad then face the facts without shrinking or concealment, and write, speak, discuss, demand, appeal, implore, until your recital shall reach the ears of men, and they shall be moved to remedy the evils that exist. "Publicity is a great remedial agency. It is the disagreeable fact which pursues and meets us at every turn, that goods us to action. It is not always easy for the colored people to get publicity. The great daily newspapers do not devote much space to them. But in Baltimore at least, there are newspapers published by colored people for colored people, and every colored man and woman should have one in his home and read it so that he may know what is going on, and what are the interests, needs and movements amongst the colored people of the community." "Education is a great remedial agency, and ought to be placed within the reach of every colored child born to take part in the struggle for existence. What investigation and discussion and publicity can do in this respect is shown by recent developments. Governor Goldborough appointed a commission to investigate the school conditions in the counties, and the commission reported that although the law seemed to require the schools to be open for nine months in the year, the colored schools in sixteen counties were kept open for a much shorter period, and at the worst in Anne Arundel County, for only four months in the year. This was an intolerable condition, and if my information is correct, it has already been remedied in a measure as a direct result of the publicity which was given to the commission's report. "Eut what do we know of the living conditions of the colored people? How many of them are engaged in occupations that are productive and fairly paid? How many of them live in clean, decent and sanitary dwellings, and how many dwell in filth and in- PRICE THREE CENTS [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. Mr. McGuinn will "cover" the National Republican Convention and the National Progressive Convention at Chicago for the Afro American.

What proportion are in good health, and what percentage go at large afflicted with deadly and communicable disease, and what hospital treatment is available to the sick? What is the death rate among the colored people in Baltimore? "How many are law-abiding and how many are inmates of penal institutions in punishment for crime? "It is high time that not only you, but all men should know the vital facts about so large a part of the population, for all are interested, all affected and responsible. I charge it as a solemn duty upon the graduates of this college, as potential leaders of a people, that you cause the light to shine upon these dark places, so that we may all come to see and know the truth, and the truth may set us free." MR. SAMUEL HAXWARD ENTERS EMPLOY OF In line with the present expansive policy of the Afro-American Company, publishers of the Afro-American, the services of Mr. Samuel D. Hayward have been secured to take charge of the soliciting, collection and advertising departments of the company. Mr. Hayward is one of the most progressive men in the city and is well and favorably known. He is a member of the Pythian and Masonic fraternities, being treasurer of the Board of Directors of the Pythian Joint Stock Company as well as belink connected with a number of civic organizations. He is a member of Bethel A. M. E. Church. The Afro-American Company asks for Mr. Hayward the same courtesy and consideration that have always been shown its representatives in the past. Mr. Hayward will enter his new duties on June 5th. FIELD DAY EXERCISES The first Field Day Exercises and Exhibition under the direction of the department of physical education of the High School and Schools 100 to 118, will take place on the football field at Drud Hill Park, next Wednesday afternoon, starting at 4 o'clock.

BALTIMORE WINS AT TENNIS For the first time in several years, the Baltimore Tennis Club defeated the Howard University tennis teams on the Howard courts last Saturday. The Baltimoreans had the advantage in the singles, while their opponents won two of the three doubles. Drs. Cardozo nad Rhetta, Messrs Braxston, Cook, Reckling and Ross represented Baltimore Club, while Profs. Gregory Murphy and Pollard, Messrs Hyman and Haynes composed the Howard team. ROOSEVELT THE MAN OF THE HOUR Wilson Chicago, Ill., June 2—As each train choo choos into this city it brings men and women who will be here to attend the Republican and Progressive National Conventions next week. The situation is all but fuddled as far as the Republicans are concerned, no man being able to predict whether it will be Hughes, Roosevelt or some other man named as the standard-bearer of the G. O. P. Though the past four years have been lean ones for the Republicans, there are many strongly opposed to the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt. Justice Hughes, it appears, has been used as a stalking horse for those opposed to the Colonel, and apparently, he has developed considerable strength although this strength lies mainly with "hand-picked" delegates. Mr. Roosevelt has aroused the country as no other man has, and there are a number of Republicans of influence clamoring for his nomination. The Progressive party, it goes without saying, is ready to support him without reservation. His strong appeals in behalf of Americanism has made many believe that he is needed to head off Wilson, who is now an admittedly strong antagonist. The sight at this time has some similarity to the one in 1880, when Grant polled 306 votes for a third term. Grant did not get the nomination but he convention knew that it had a strong candidate on its hands. The silent attitude of Justice Hughes is regarded in some quarters as a handicap, and that may make Roosevelt a favorite among the Republicans. In other words, even if the Colonel is not nominated, the influence of his friends will be felt strongly. In 1880, the colored brother was more potent han he will be in this convention. Though the Democrats had practically regained control of Southern State governments, there were a number of colored men influential in the councils of the Republican party. Blanch K. Bruce was still a United States Senator from Mississippi; John R. Lynch was an important factor in that State, as was also James Hill. Wright Cuney held the fort in Texas; "Bill" Pledger was Georgia's idol, and Joseph Lee was coming to the front in Florida. John M. Langston, late Congressman from Virginia, was a big figure; Robert Smalls and others held the light for South Carolina, and Frederick Douglass' advice was listened to. Richard T. Greener, John E. Eush, Col. James Lewis, Perry Carson, Robert Browne Elliott and others were mighty forces. Of the names mentioned above, Lee, Lynch and Bush are the only ones living. Today the South will have a reduced representation in the Republican National Convention. Not only will there be a reduced representation but there is a tendency to "ily white" the party. There have been more than 60 contests filed with the National Committee, mainly from the South Henry Lincoln Johnson and Henry S. Jackson are contesting with the faction led by Walter Johnson, of Atlanta. Joseph Lee is still supreme in Florida, where there is only a minor contest, but Walter Cohen is fighting "illy-whiteism" in Louisiana, as four years ago. "Goose-neck Bill" McDonald is the only colored delegate from Texas, and there is trouble in the Carolinas and Virginia. Maryland, for the first time in years has no colored delegate. New Jersey will have a colored delegate, however, while Pennsylvania and New York will have to content themselves with alternate delegates at large. George H. White is the man from the latter State. BUSINESS MEN HOLD SMOKER A special meeting and smoker was held by the Business Men's Exchange at their building on Pennsylvania avenue, on Wednesday evening. Interesting talks were given by Messrs. Chas. S. Sanders, who pointed out that in order to be successful the young men must sacrifice some of their pleasures, Dr. O. H. Arnold, Messrs. J. H. Gaskins, Oliver Caulk S. L. Burton and others. Mr. Levi Moore, of the High School interestingly outlined a plan which is being formulated for the purpose of giving school boys employment during the summer. Mr. William H. Dodd is president of the association. Woman's Department. he ee Bea: ee et ee ties oo i Re Es | Heer ee ae | oo a esi See ee ae JERS.

THE DuBOIS CIRCLE Because of the sentiment created by the Niagarn Movement, five women re- “sponded to the call of Rev. Garnett R. Waller, D. D., to organize a club, which would serve as an auxiliary to the local branch of the Niagara Move- ment; and have for {ts aim the so- eial uplift of the community. In answer to the call, the following women met.at the Young Women's Christian Association on Jaunary 5th, 1906: Mrs, Margaret. C. Hawkins, Yrs. Bva Jenifer, Mrs. Minnle Gaines, Mrs, Lolla G. Waller, Mrs, Caroline Ze Cook. A temporarp organization known as the Niagara Movement Club was formed with Mrs. M. G. Hawkins as president, At a subsequent meeting held: Jan- uary 22, 1906, 2 permanent election was effected by the election of the fol- lewing officers: President, Mrs. M. G. Hawkins, vice president, Mrs. A R. H. Miller; secretary, Mra. M. L Gaines; treasurer, Mrs. E, Jenifer. Mrs. Hawkins, the first president werved the club faithfully for sever eonsecutive years. All Niagara Clubs aside from thelr specific work—auxil jary for the propagation of the N. M mpirit—had also the privilege of se lecting the special line of work they wished to follow.

One of these meetings is purely a business meeting, and the closing meeting of the year, May, is an open meeting at which the club aims to present an address by some noted speaker. Following this idea, the following ladies have address ed the meeting: May, 1913, Mrs. Mary Chureh Terrel, “The Advancement of Colored Women;" May, 1914, Mrs. Alice Dunbar, “The Influence of the Negro in American Literature;" May, 1915, Dr. Lucy Moten, “Art” ‘The club has a limited membership of thirty.

BALTIMORE, JUNE 3, 1916 The flutter of hopes and the shadow of fears, And all the day long therub and scrub With only a breath between tub and tub. Fool, thou hast toiled for fifty years And what hast thou no wbut thy dusty tears? In silence she rubbed. But her face I had seen, Where the light of her soul fell shining and clean. "The lower the form of religion, the greater the number of rules for the government of the devotee. The higher the form of religion, the more is committed to his faith, the more to his heart—his religion is made an inside religion." In spite of this very sound plea of Dr. James R. Day, who is chancellor of the Sacrue University, New York, the Methodist Episcopal Conference by a vote of 434 to 360 voted not to lift the ban of amusements in the church. An analysis of the vote shows that the major portion of the St. Louis Conference, Foreign Delegates, delegates from small cities and the colored members voted almost solidly against, while the delegates from the large cities voted for. The Conference Committee on Discipline urged against lifting the ban, inasmuch as only six of the petitions that had come to the committee during he year recommended any change. TURNING THE CLOCK FORWARD Germany in the front rank of conserving national resources, has saved many thousands of dollars in coal oil and electricity, by the simple expedient of turning the hands of the clock an hour forward. The Germans who formerly arose at seven and reached their business a eight-thirty, now arise at six and goes to his work at seven-thirty. England quick to see the advantage, followed suit, and Holland, Denmark and Canada have fallen into line. In this way, one hour more of work is done in the light of day, and one hour of light at night is saved. The saving this represents has a universal appeal, and even the countries at peace are seriously considering the advisability of adopting it. Such a system would work well if adopted by the whole community, but evidently has drawbacks if attempted by an individuals. It goes without saying that the saving would be great in summer, when it is light at six o'clock, but negligible in winter when daylight comes later. Upon recommendation of an organization representing 200,000 Jews, Governor Whitman, of New York, appointed Adjantant General Solesbury to investigate the charge that Jews were being refused admission into the regiments of the National Guards in the State. The Adjutant before holding the public hearing, made the following statement: "We shall try to make it clear through this hearing that a man entering the National Guard must be judged solely upon his defects or merits as a man, regardless of his religion." On the same night Governor Whitman announced to an audience at the Manhaattan Casino, assembled in the interest of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund, that he had just authorized the addition of a Negro regiment to the National Guards, and had appointed three medical examiners to pass upon applicants. Said the Governor, "We need a Negro regiment. Hisory shows that our Negro soldiers have always rendered distinguished service to the country." Both the Negro and the Jew have obtained a concession at the same time. The colored people of New York have been contending for a Negro regiment for several years, and greeted the announcement of their State executive with prolonged cheering. During the same length of time, certain regiments of the National Guard have been sealed to Jews, and the same exclusion that has obtained in some social clubs of the city was practiced there. But while a victory has been gained there yet remains something to fight for. Certain popular regiments are bound to manouver to disqualify Jews from membership in one way or another, and already there is some apprehension as to the appointment of colored officers for the colored regiment. The victory the Jew has won, is the victory for which the Negro must figh and win, if not in this generation, then surely in he next. He must have it understood that he is an American, not a Negro soldier, and that he is a representative of ninety millions, not of ten millions. It must be said of the National Guards and of the regular army in New York and in Louisiana. "n man entering must be judged solely upon his defects or merits as a man, regardless of his religion or his race. ROOSEVELT OR HUGHES With the Republican National Convention but a week away, the interest of the country centres in Chicago. Roosevelt or Hughes is the question. Which will be the choice of the convention? If it were left to popular vote, the ex-president would be swept into nomination by such an avalanche of votes that would cause Mr. Justice Hughes to congratulate himself on holding his seat in the Supreme Court. The favorite sons, Weeks of Massachusetts, Whitman, of New York; Burton, of Ohio; Fairbanks, of Indiana; Ford, of Michigan; LaFollette, of Wisconsin; Cummins, of Iowa, and Borah, of Idaho, may remain in the running until the hird ballot, but the wildest supporter of these men cannot hope for more than that. Every one of them is a good, honest citizen, a worthy man and strong enough—to carry his own State, hardly more. Objections to Roosevelt have been crystallizing since the word first came from the Colonel that, were a strong man needed, he would be willing to serve. "Roosevelt wants what no other president has asked for—a third term!" or "Roosevelt will make himself a second Emporer Napoleon III if he has the opportunity." Writing in the New York Times, Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard, voices the opinion that the first argument against the Colonel has lost whatever weight it once had and the second, absolutely too preposterous to notice. He writes: "Roosevelt is a third termer who wants to break the traditions of Jefferson and Grant." Considering that Jefferson put himself on record as willing to accept a third nomination in case it were necessary in order to beat the Federalists, and that Grant would have accepted a third term, it would seem that his ambition is not necessarily a crime. This is the only Democratic country in the world in which a man's good public service is considered a reason why he should not be allowed to give more of the same. The truth is that the third term argument has lost whatever small weight once had in the minds of the American people. They feel able to protect themselves against a perpetual President. They smashed Taft in 1912 for too much Presidency, and are now getting ready to smash Wilson in 1916. "Roosevelt is a man on horseback, who will make himself a second Emperor Napoleon III. if he has the opportunity." That charge seems too preposterous to notice. Imagine Theodore Roosevelt, with his open speech, his quick utterance, his easy access, functioning as the chief conspirator in the downfall of the American Republic. Why, when the would-be Emperor is riding relentlessly at the head of his squadron of armed motor cars he will see somebody who taught him to shoot when he was a boy, or an old crony in the New York Police Department, or one of the Rough Riders, and while he gets off to shake hands and say 'dee-lighted,' the whole conspiracy will tip over and the apples be scattered. Please excuse Theodore from being a Despot. It is not in his line." Roosevelt, without doubt, is the choice of the people, and if they can THE AFRO-AMERICAN get themselves heard in Chicago; they can go home satisfied that the European and Mexican squabbles and the tariff question are in perfectly safe hands. SIMPLIFIED COMMENCEMENT... For the past two years, the Colored Teachers Training School has taken its stand for a commencement of the very highest type, namely, one of simple elegance, one conspicuous by the absence of costly gowns, carilages and the like. They have put elegance in manner before inordinate showiness of clothes, so customary at this time. In this they have taken their stand with the majority of well thinking people, all over the country, who have realized the uselessness of this obsolete custom. It is to be hoped that the young people of this year's graduating class and classes of the future will see the wisdom of this movement and thus help to maintain the standard of former classes. HOLD SECOND ANNIVERSARY The Blooming Rose Social held their second anniversary at the residence of the manager, 118 West 21st street, on Wednesday, May 31st, 1916.

Hazelton, one of the best known men in the city, died suddenly from heart failure Monday night. He had been at Lutherville assisting a caterer to serve a dinner at the commencement of the Maryland College for Women, and was on his way to take a car for Towson. He complained of feeling ill and those with him slackened their pace. Just as he reached the railroad tracks he fell and breathed his last. His death came as a big shock to his immediate family and his large circle of friends. His wife Mrs. Annie Hazelton, and his two daughters, Mrs. Annie Hazelton Lee and Mrs. Bertha Brooks, were prostrated. Mr. Hazelton was born in this city in 1852.

Mrs. Lee, a daughter of the deceased, is a member of the quartet and directress of Sharp St. Choir. The floral tokens were numerous and handsome. Interment was in the family lot in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. MRS. AMELIA RICHARDSON Mrs. Amelia Richardson, for many years the proprietress of the lunch room at 216 S. Sharp street, died on Monday from cerebral hemorrhages.

Carr, Jr., a large party of fishermen and near-fishermen braved the restless bosom of the Chesapeake Bay on Decoration Day in quest of unyarm members of the funny tribe. It was nearly nine o'clock when the set forth from the residence of Captain Samuel Waters at Middle River. It might have been that the fish had a day off and were witnessing the work horse parade in Baltimore or were otherwise employed; one thing is certain, they absolutely refused to be lured by the succulent fare that was offered them not even so much as to nibble at it. Better luck attended their efforts when they hauled in their nets, and a bunch of "small fry" was the result. However the party spent a most enjoyable day. Those present were Dr. and Mrs. Wm. T. Carr, Mr. Wm. I. Butler, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Proctor, Mr. and Mrs. Truly Hatchett, Dr. and Mrs. A. O. Reid, Sergeant and Mrs. Washington, Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Murphy, Mrs. Lillian Lottler, Mrs. C.

Gregory, who resided for a short time and until recently at 406 Presstman street and recently sold to Mr. Ralph V.

The place is Morristown, N. J., known for its good health. The location is five minutes from the D. L. & W. Railroad Station, half block from the main trolley line and five minutes from the principal stores, churches, school and public library.

J., just five minutes from Morristown, which is only one hour and fifteen minutes from New York. Any friend wishing to communicate with the Gregory's may address letters to Spring Place, Morristown, N. J., after September 1st. Mr. Gregory is now at Sheepshead Bay for the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory made quite a few friends during their 9-month stay in Baltimore. Friends will be glad to know that he inherited five thousand dollars and has invested it quite wisely.

IN MEMORIAM HENSON—I had but loving remembrance of my loved husband, Samuel Owens, who cared this life one year ago today, May 1915. The month of my once more is here To me the greatest of the year; Because it took me loved one away. My dear husband, one year ago today. I am lonesome and sad To think how suddenly you passed away. My heart is heavy, my grief is pain When I think of my husband that death did claim. On you dear father we could always depend, And knew we had one sincere friend; And all the hours on earth you spent, Your heart to us was always lent. By his children. COOK—In loving remembrance of my dear father, William Cook, who died 14 years ago, June 1st, and my dear mother, Lizzie Cook, who d.ed June 1, 1915. Thou art gone, but not forgotten, Oh, how sweet it will be in that beautiful land So free from all sorrow and pain. With songs on our lips, and harps in our hands. FREELAND—John A, the beloved son of Mary E. Freeland and James Freeland, departed this life in full triumph of faith April 18th, 1916, in Philadelphia and was brought to Baltimore Wednesday and was buried from his brother's home on Thursday, April 20th. He leaves a mother, sister, and two brothers to mourn their loss. Interment in Sharp Street Cemetery. But we know you are happy In the mansions of the biest Where there is no more sorrow In your sweet eternal rest. By his mother, sister and brothers, of Philadelphia, Pa. SMITH—In sad and loving remembrance of our dear mother, Eliza Smith, and wife of Dr. John Smith, who departed this life six years ago, June 1, 1910. She is not dead, she is only asleep. That calm sweet sleep of peace; When the fire head in slumber rests, And all life's sorrows cease. Sleep on dear mother and rest Though taken from us six years ago Our sorrow is none the less. We will call it not death, but life This beautiful passing away. By her devoted son, James T. Smith SAUNDERS—In sad but loving memory of my dear wife who departed this life in full triumph of faith one year ago today June 1, 1915. Loved in life, in death remembered. BOOKER—In sad and loving remembrance of my devoted mother, Mrs. Mary Booker, who entered into rest two years ago today, May 30, 1914. Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, When through the storm safely anchored Just on the other side I shall find my dear mother through death's deep shadows Not changed—but glorified. God took you from my home. But never from my heart. Your loving son, Frederick Booker JOHNSON—In loving memory of my dear daughter, Nettie B. Johnson, who departed this life three years ago today, June 4, 1913. I cannot forget you darling The long may seem the years And oft in the lonely hours I wipe away my tears. For I think I hear you singing With the angels of Jesus there Where no sorrow can come near you And He takes away all care. So I'll try and still my heartache And do my best to smile. For God will let me come to you After a little while. The years are long since you left me They have grown to three today; But I love you just as dearly As the hour you went away. I often feel you near me me, And see your sweet bright smile; But I know you are happy with Jesus So I will wait a little while. Tho I am lonely here without you I know God's will is right; So I'll do my best in the shadow Till He leads me too to the light. Her loving mother, Katie Johnson CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Edith Murray, 1910 Druid Hill avenue, widow of the late Br. James H. Murray, who departed this life on May 21st, wishes to thank the many friends of the family for the beautiful floral designs received and for sympathy extended during her hours of bereavement. ```markdown ``` We are appealing to all friend to come over and help us. Rev. John A. SAUNDERS—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear mother and beloved grandmother, Mrs. Mary B. Saunders, who departed this life one year ago, June 1st, 1915. One sad and lonely year has passed. Since my dear mother breathed her last. But our memories are as dear today. As on the day she passed away. How long she struggled against disease That baffled skill and care; assessed How long she lingered racked with pain And sufferings hard to bear. Hour by hour we saw her fade And slowly sink away Yet in our hearts we prayed That she might longer stay In silence she suffered In patience she bore Until God took her home. To suffer no more. Her willing hands are folded Her toils on earth are done; Her troubles are all ended, Her heavenly crown is won. Oft we wander to the graveyard Flowers to place with loving care On the grave of our dear mother Who so sweetly sleepeth there. By her Son-in-law and Children. Miss Margaret E. daughter of C. Henry and R. Marcelline Ridgeway, who has been ill at Johns Hopkins Hospital for the last si xweeks, has returned to the residence of her parents, 521 Bloom street.

MIDNIGHT AT NORMALINSTITUTE Bessemer, Ala.—You will see that I am not in the place where I was when I wrote you the last letter, and I will not be here when you get and read this letter, but will be in another part of the world. Of course we have all tried hard to keep track of the General Conferences which have been held in various parts of the country. The A. M. E. General Conference met and elected Rev. I. N. Ross, one of the bishops and Rev. W. W. Beckett the other and both of them will go to Africa. As I have said, both Bishop J. Albert Johnson and Bishop W. H. Heard were assigned to work in America and I am of the opinion that both of them will render great service, and we will be proud of their work. Of course there were some disappointments, and that could not be helped, because many people wanted to be elected, and in the two conferences only six men were elevated to the bishopric, two in the A. M. E. and four in the A. M. E. Zion. Dr. Camphor will be the bishop in Africa for the M. E. Church and you will see how things have been divided up. I suppose this will be alright. I am not going to be a bishop because I will always be a Pontist. cause I will always be a Baptist. But during the conference in Philadelphia, we were called upon to pay a tribute to a great woman who fell during that time. Mrs. M. J. Butler, the wife of Dr. D. H. Butler one of the leaders in Mississippi. Without warning she was called away. I have not been able to learn the particulars hence I am not prepared to tell you much about it. Dr. G. W. Porter, of Nashville, Tenn., took sick during the session and they have not been able to remove him home. I was told that he was in a critical condition. In the midst of life we are in death, and we are liable to be called home at any time, so we should be ready. I am busy and doing some real good getting around now, but it is hard to tell just when I will be called myself, and if I should be called just say that I have done my work. Where have I been and what have I been doing since I sent you my last letter? It would be hard for me to tell you because I have been doing so much and have been to so many different places, have seen so many people and come in contact with so many things of the world and of the church it would take me a real long time to tell you all, so I will tell just so much and stop. I do recall that I was in Chattanooga, Tenn., and had the pleasure of meeting some of the leading people of that town. I did not spend all of my time there, but found it convenient to get away bright and early Monday morning, headed for Fayetteville, Tenn. This is another big place if you are not particular what you say, and I am sure that I am not. I had a delightful time in Fayetteville, and bright and early next morning. I got together to go to Normal, Ala. I had already sent my trunks there and they were looking for me. I had been invited there by Prof. W. S. Buchanan to deliver the commencement address. I don't know why it was called commencement for it was the ending of some of the young people in school. To me it was a source of pleasure. It should be called ending exercises. The first thing that came into my mind when I got there was the late William H. Council, who was a friend of mine, and who always made me welcome. Prof. Buchannan married the only daughter of that great educator, and I found him just as nice and friendly to me as was President Council during his life. Hence I felt right at home. There have been a number of changes in the school. A number of new buildings have been erected—in fact this young man has taken up the work and gone right on with it. He was the right man to be selected. Mrs. Ida Christine Council Buchanan is to be found right at the side of her husband. She has had charge of the musical department for a long time, and it is not surprising that she should continue. Her father certainly took time to see that she was well educated, and she is in a position to be much good to her husband and his work. She is educated to the people. You can always reach her and get a kind word. She is just a great woman and there is no getting around this. The exercises were of a high order and the participants of the institution were all well drilled and prepared to do their part. There was one speaker who had not had a rehearsal. He had not been before the professor and made his speech, and been taught how to make gestures or something like that—in fact he did not seem to know how to use his hands. He made what was known as the commencement address. I am not going to say anything about the address, as it would involve me if I should say too much about it, and I don't want to be involved these days. It all reminded me of the days of President Council. The crowd was there, the students were there. I met some of the white people and they did not seem to understand my big words. I met one man who asked me a question, which I could not answer and I said in reply "I am afraid to articulate for fear I might promulgate something which you cannot anticipate." I wish you could have seen that man looking at me, and he did not say another word. I saw him pointing at me and talking to other people. I guess he must have told them that I was smart after I had used such big words. I like to put one over on people. I attended the reception of President and Mrs. Buchanan and they invited me to be on the receiving line. I had never heard of such a thing. But a number of them, headed by the president and his wife, who stood in line, and all had to pass by and shake our hands. I don't know when I have shaken hands with so many people before. My hands were almost sore. Mrs. Darnell was there to see that I was looked after, and I tell you she did serve me with some real ice cream and cake. I met Dean Bulloch of the college department, also Chaplain W. Ramssey, of the department of printing and praying. Miss Byrd, I remembered because I met her in the Charles Street A. M. E. Church when I was in Boston. She is a fine and competent young woman. It was a glorious reception. Next morning found me up at four o'clock, headed for Nashville, where I had the pleasure of calling on and meeting Mrs. Evans Tyreco, the wife of Bishop Tyreco, her daughters and one granddaughter. Called to see Rev. and Mrs. Chavis. Dr. Leech told me to wait there for him and he would tome me out in his automobile to the State Normal School where they were going to have some big doings Friday night. I went and waited and waited there until 12.30 and he has not yet reached there. Dr. Chavis went to the big doings, returned and still found me waiting for Dr. Leech. I did not see him and do not know what happened. After being there for some little bit, I got together and started for Birmingham, and then out here to Bessmer where I am when I write to you this week. This is all I will be able to say to you now. I will have to bring this letter to a close. I am headed for Texas. Look out for me. J. O. MIDNIGHT THE LATE WM. JOHNSON [Name] Mr. William Johnson, of 507 Robert street, departed this life, May 13, 1916. He was born in Essex County, Va., in December 1868 and had been a resident of Baltimore since he was 12 years old. He learned barbering under Mr. Gross, of Druid Hill avenue near St. Mary's street. He later formed apartship with a friend named Mr. Lindsay. After dissolving partnership, his last place of business was located at Lanvale and Drunt streets, where a modern shop is now located. Mr. Johnson was a highly respected citizen and enjoyed a large patronage. In 1915, the shop underwent extensive improvements. It was equipped with all modern appliances for an up-to-date business. Soon after, Mr. Johnson's health failed him, and his two sons, Clarence and William, had entire charge of the business. These sons, who are professional barbers, will continue the business. Funeral services were held at the Macedonia Baptist Church, Tuesday, May 16th, Rev. D. G. Mack, officiating assisted by Rev. William Alexander, Revs. Payne and Butler. Mr. Johnson was a beloved deacon of Macedonia Baptist Church, and a member of various auxiliaryes connected therewith. He was also an active worker in the Young Men's Christian Association. He was connected with the Odd Fellows and the Seven Wise Men, who offered resolutions, also a member and treasurer of the Barber's Union. Mr. S. S. Booker, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., delivered a fitting eulogy. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. He is survived by his widow, who was Miss Nettle Hill; one daughter, Ruth; and three sons, Carence, William and Theodore.

New York.—The scope of the Daily Vacation Bible School association, which endeavors to provide recreation and industrial training for children of the streets during the summer time to offset the "evil that Satan finds for idle hands to do." is reaching out to the colored people. An expert investigator from the association has been looking into the condition of nineteen centers among the colored people in New York city and vicinity. The result of the investigation has developed the fact that the colored people are ready for the co-operation of the organization if the latter can provide them with materials with which to work. The Rev. Victor G. Glint of the Moravian church in West Sixty-third street called a meeting recently at the Bible House. Astor place for the purpose of considering ways and means of furnishing this co-operation. This specialized work is additional to the effort of the Daily Vacation Bible School association to raise $10,000 for 10,000 new children in the metropolitan area this summer. The organization already has 10,000 children provided for. Among those who have responded to the latter general appeal are St. Andrew's Episcopal church in the Bronx, St. Paul's Methodist church of Jersey City, N. J., and Emmanuel church of Brooklyn, the combined generosity of which will account for 600 little ones out of the stipulated 10,000 it is attempted to reach.

At the last quarterly scout meeting held at Bethel A. M. E. Church the boys of Troop 14 just "set." So well did they "set" that some other scouts forgot even to eat their ice cream. Mr. Patterson is the scout-master. Every boy scout troop should have a group of boys that know how to hand a camera and develop their own pictures. Each trip taken by a troop should be recorded by means of a number of pictures taken during that trip. As it is, but few boys of an enrollment of 500 know anything of photography. However, if a sufficiently large number of scouts send in their names and addresses to 1221 Ashland avenue a class in photography will be formed. The course will continue for about 12 weeks and will be open to scouts. Among the subjects touched upon will be: The camera and the kind to get; how to a picture and how to develop to print pictures; how to fix poor negatives; the printing of fancy borders; artistic mounting; how to make enlargements; how to take a flashlight picture; the making of the topics. All names must be in by the 30th of June. "ON DUTY" A Scout Flagging the Runners at the Turns In The RaceCurse At last news seems to be moving in as usual, especially from the BSA fellow and some of his friends. I have something that may interest you. One of the pupils of the High School, Edward Pango, and his brother, Mr. Thomas Pango, are taking quite an interest in the construction of a wireless station and mast, and they are making much progress in it. It is planned by Joseph Sidner, Roland Carington and Thomas and Edward Pango to erect a higher mast at the BSA station. It may be erected in June, but the exact date has not yet been set. "BSA." As the result of a remarkable contest of "scouting" in the dictionary, 46 prizes were awarded to successful boys. The contest was to take the letters in the words "Boy Scouts of America" and find out how many other words could be formed. Lists were sent in by 1369 boys. A number of words submitted were 1,242,680. The largest number of words by any boy was 6,095; the smallest number. 5. Each of the prize winners had more than 2400 words. The contest was conducted by the editors of the Standard Dictionary. o boy should be without a good seek of catalogues Scout Harry Quien, of Troop 2, is away ahead of over 500 other scouts in this particular. He has over 50 well selected catalogues from all parts of the United States, bearing upon a wide range of subjects. Sometimes in the future there may be a catalogue contest between the troops with prizes awarded the scouts having the largest collection. Look well through the advertisements of every magazine you can find. Select those advertisements that interest you, and send a post card requesting that a catalogue be sent you. A catalogue from each of the following firms will give you a good start: C. H. Grouse, Co. North Attleboro, Mass. Box 19, B. for a catalogue of class pins, medals, rings, medals and fobs.

Rev, L. C. Curtis, D. D., Pastor Mrs. Cora Jones, Secretary of Conference. I wish to say that I am an Alternate Delegate, selected by the late Republican State Convention, to attend the Republican National Convention at Chicago, on June 7th. I am going to Chicago. I will there sit upon the floor of that great convention, and together with colored Republicans from other States, represent in the party councils, the colored Republicans of Maryland and the rest of the country. Some dissatisfaction has been voiced because a colored delegate was not elected, instead of the four colored alternates who were elected to this Convention by the Republican State Convention. There were many Republicans of Maryland of both races, who were, no doubt, disappointed in not being chosen as one of the sixteen delegates. While I, of course, regret that in the scramble for these places in the excuses of the different Congressional Districts, the election of a colored delegate was overlooked, yet I wish to state for myself, that I am satisfied with the honor bestowed upon me of being an Alternate Delegate, as in the election to this office, I am accorded the same honor that was bestowed by the Convention upon several very distinguished Maryland Republicans, who were also elected alternate delegates; among whom are the Hon. Albert Doub, a prominent lawyer, of Cumberland, who was the chairman of the Republican State Convention; Hon. A. A. Blakney, of Ilchester, who represented the Second Congressional District or Maryland in the House of Representatives; Dr. A. R. L.

BOY SCOUTS nish of the Course Clear of Spectators PLENTY OF WORK FOR THRIFTY STUDENTS National League Takes Interest in Young Men. New York—During the coming summer the work for the harvest season in the Connecticut tobacco fields can be cared for by students of the colored schools. Representatives of the National Urban League in this city have thoroughly investigated this work and are in a position to guarantee employment to those who wish to go. They have recently placed J. H. Collins in the field to visit various schools to list men for this work. Unfortunately a good many schools in which students might be interested in this work have closed, and these students have gone to their various homes and have not had an opportunity to learn of these advantages. This work is in the tobacco fields in the Connecticut valley, in and around Hartford. The work will last from six to eight weeks, at a wage which will enable the students to make from $2 to $3 per day. At least 2,000 students could be used if it were possible to reich this number. Free transportation will be provided from Norfolk, Va., to Hartford and return for all who sign application blanks the first week in June. These blanks are in the hands of our representative. Students or any persons who would like to sign up for this work may obtain blanks by writing to the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, 2303 Seventh avenue, New York city, and stating the number of blanks wanted and promising to return the same properly signed. OPENS CHIROPODY PARLORS Dr. Joseph Mason has opened a first class chirpology office at his new residence, 1623 Druid Hill avenue. Dr. Mason is a graduate of the Dr. R. N. Bundy and intends to employ all up-to-date methods in his practice. This office should fill in a large gap and supply a much-wanted need among the people. Those who have food troubles will readily find relief in Dr. Mason's office. The general opinion that chirpology is so painful is quite erroneous to say the least. Corns, callouses and other excrescences on the feet are removed without pain, and in case of ingrowing mails, it is not necessary to be inconvenienced to any extent. Dr. Mason has set the example for others by charging a rate that is within the reach of all, and he has issued an invitation to the public in general to visit his office.
