The Afro-American

LISHED ERY S. URDAY THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Trust: Chicago, January 25.—State street halitimes and frequenters have been thrown into hysteresis over the change made by District Attorney Hoyne that Alderman Oscar DePriest, of the Second ward, is the king of the alleged black Belt" gambling graft ring. It is alleged that gambling houses were protected and saloons allowed to run during prohibited hours, provided they paid a rattle-off to the interests. These revolutions of alleged bribery and bribiting on the South side and the subsequent indictment of a number of those said therewith caused a furore of excitement. The serif's office was filled with bondmen Friday morning last, all anxious to go somebody's ball. Alderman Delestis was the first to arrive, and he arranged ball quickly. Elijah Johnson, a brother of "Mushmuth" Johnson, was one of his enemies. Though Mr. Depriest has entered a general denial of the charges, District Attorney Hayne alleges that he can trace some of the gambblers' graft directly to the alderman's hands. Depriest was mentioned in an enclosure with charges filed against the Police Chief Healy. He managed to get out unsheathed, however. The charges against him now are regarded as a blow against the administration of Mayor Thompson, as Depriest was one of the administrator-floor leaders in the Association he is active in of Mississippi and formerly a commissioner for Cook county. He denies all allegations about his receiving graft. The indictment of Depriest and others followed the annulment of a number of the State gambblers' cases before the Grand Jury. The subsequent indictment of politicians and others have so scared the "boys" that the lid is being clamped down on things illegal and nocturnal along State street. Those indicted, along with Alderman Depriest, gave bail ranging from $10,000 to $35,000, the latter sum being the same as the alderman and several others. Others indicated included: Capt. Stephen K. Healy of Warren avenue police station, formerly of Stanton avenue; Detective Sergeant James Reilly, of Stanton avenue; Detective Sergeant Hugh McKinley, of Stanton avenue; Henry "Teenun" Jones, colored gambler, one of the alleged nonfiction authors of "Black belt"; David Knighton, alleged gambler and "power" in the district; William "Bill" Lewis, saloonkeeper and gambler. He and Jones were called the "monumental heads" of the graft ring. William Jass, alleged gambler; Edward Jones, alleged gambler; Slidow Jones, saloonkeeper; Choreau, Carl Fearlman, saloonkeeper; William Thomas, saloonkeeper; Bernard Fits, alleged gambler; Arthur Cadozos, saloonkeeper and former saloonkeeper; "Bird" Woods, saloonkeeper; Burt Kennedy; "Barber Shop" Preston Saina here, former owner of the notorious Schiller cafe on 31st street in North Beach, saloonkeeper in the North Beach State market on 31st street in North Beach, saloonkeeper and politician; David Richardson, man of the indicted, including the alderman are colored.

BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1917 Clearing House for Organizations in the District of Columbia Badly Needed. Washington, January 25.—Organization of a federation of colored citizens' associations may be one of the results of the dedicatory exercise of the High School. That the colored citizens of the District may best promote their interests through such a central body was asserted last Thursday evening by Commissioner Growlow in an address before the commissioner, in the school. He said that there were a few live associations, such as Howard Park, Hillsdale and Larry Farm, but that what is urgently needed is a central body to serve as a clearing house for the activities of all the associations. There already already exists a clearing house in existence but the Commissioner declared that it had been inactive and practically useless, "Revive this organization and make it the central mouthpiece for presenting the needs of the colored people of the District, the other members, and for a discussion of these needs in some such building as this, but, when you meet, don't endeavor to settle, international problems. Consider your own problems and how they may be solved. The Commissioners want to know what the needs of your various sections are, and with you, but in many instances we will agree. This is the best way to get at it." Rev. D. E. Wiseman took a few raps at the existing federation and said that it was aseep. He provoked a row with the colored citizens should make a united appeal to the authorities for the purchase of ground back, of the school building for recreational purposes. The building fronts on the hills and the pupils, he asserted, are forced to take their recreation in the street. APPROVE APPOINTMENT OF COL. F. A. DENNISON Favorable Comment on HIs Selection From Many Quarters Chicago, Ill., January 25. —Comments of a very favorable nature have been heard from many quarters on the appointment by Attorney General Brundage of Colonel Franklin A. Dennison as assistant attorney general. That the appointment is generally approved is evidenced by the favorable editorial comment of the white dilling not only in the court but throughout the country. The following editorial from the Springfield, Ill., News-Ridgé is a fair sample of the concern concerning his appointment: "C corrupt politicians often give appointment to unworthy Negroes in order to build up a political machine. They elevate the worst element of the Negro race and discourage the better element. Attorney General Brundage is not that sort of a politician. He selected a representative of the colored race last week, as a member of his staff, and he chose a man who is high minded, above corruption and in every respect typical of the progressive Negroes who are working for the benefit of the race. "Colonel Franklin A. Dennison of Chicago, who by the action of his Brundage, in an assent to his mission, has helped to help Negroes go forward. His life and achievements are an inspiration to every colored boy. His appointment is a recognition of merit." UPHOLD RACE SEGREGATION Jury Sustains School Board in Separation of Classes Media, Pa., January 24.—A verdict in favor of the Morton School District was returned last week in the case of Edward Mayo, who brought suit to compel the school to study his white pupils.

The school board continued to attend the old one. The colored residents decided not to send their children to school, for which many of them were fined, under the compulsory school act. The children then entered the school as two colored teachers. The fight was resumed later in the courts of Delaware county. WEST INDIAN NATURALIZED Trenton, N. J.

MILTON LEE WINS SWEEPING VICTORY Judge Duffy Orders His Reinstatement Into Enterprise Lodge With All Honors. In one of the most sweeping decisions handed down by a local equity court in recent years, Judge Duffy, in Circuit Court No. 2, Wednesday ordered Milton K. Lee restored to Enterprise Lodge of Masons and given every right due him as a member of the Masonic fraternity. The Grand Lodge, at its annual session at Hagerstown in August, 1911, had suspended Mr. Lee without a trial of any kind, and the latter had sourced such action. The Grand Lodge, Grand Master Joseph P. Evans, Grand Secretary George T. Duppin, Enterprise Lodge of Masons and other defendants had demurred to the original injunction proceedings. Judge Huelser, who first sat in the case, overruled the demurrier, and the defendants carried it to the Court of Appeals. The lower court, and reminded the case back for trial on its merits. Four days were consumed in the trial, which ended Tuesday. The defendants will have to pay the court costs. W. Aeble Hawkins, who represented the losing side, gave notice of an appeal from the latest decision, and bond was fixed in the sum of $500. Warner T. McGuinn and Augustus C. Binswanger were the attorneys for Mr. Lee. While the decision is greatly disappointing to the defendants, there are other members of the order who are yet to be heard. The latest decision will result in the cessation of unnecessary suspensions and consequent costly litigation to the order. The decree follows in full: JUDGE DUFFY'S DECREE "The cause coming on to be heard, and the bill, answer and further proceedings having been read and considered, and after evidence taken and after argument and submission by the judge with the verbal opinion of this court, handed down January 24, 1917; "It is this 25th day of January, 1917 ordered, adjudged and decreed, as follows: "(a) That the defendants, the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Maryland, Inc., a body corporate, Joseph P.

MOPPINS DEFENDS RACE Says Conditions are not as Bad in Birmingham as Painted by Alabama Cracker. Birmingham, Ala., January 25.—In the columns of the Birmingham News, W. H. Alexander, a white man, essayed a few days ago to speak in defense of the police of Birmingham, who usual- ly shoot up Negroes on the least pro- vocation, instead of making an arrest. Had been severely criticized for this practice through the newspapers. In a letter to the Birmingham News Alexander called attention to the num- ber of alleged assaults made upon white women during the past year and declared that in any of the notices and rooming houses of Birmingham, colo- red bell boys and servants acted for the white people whom they "served" as official date makers, got their heads these false mutilations. He made a call upon the "straight haired and red-blooded" white men of the city to come to the relief of the Birmingham police who were not in a position to protect the white women of the city "from brutal assaults and insults by Negro men." To Alexander's effusion, Rev J. T. McMullen, equipped in a very dignified manner. The article is an able defense of the Negro. In his reply, Dr. Moppins, who is pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, said in part: "Mr. Alexander, I fear, would not stand long enough to allow a few respectable colored citizens give me the respect they mentioned as being committed by 'Negro brutes.' It would embarrass Mr. Alexander, perhaps, if he knew that it has been proven beyond all cavil, that four alloged assaults against, white women of this city last year and charged against these 'Negro brutes' turned out to be acts of white men with white faces and straight hair. I am not certain how red-blinded. It will be well for Mr. Alexander to know that he was shot down by the policemen of Birmingham, that not one of them was charged with assault upon white women. "Mr. Alexander says 'our policemen will do their full duty. No one need doubt this.' We only hope and pray they will. We know it is not their duty to show down all the sickest provocation or infraction of the law. Mr. Alexander says that he understands it is almost a daily occurrence for the white women to be insulted by Negro men in the streets. Now if the policemen will do their duty they will arrest them and any ever-responsible citizen will be taken away of such undesirables of our race in this community. "Mr. Alexander is late in his call to arms. The Negro men of this city have offered every possible assistance to the chief authorities of the law in running down criminals guilty of such messages nor do they indulge arrangements in these social and business affairs of their employers. They are not made the antidotes of the morals for the hotel or boarding house, nor have any of them been arrested for transmitting the bounds of a servant, to know that certain crimes have little of color these days and that the only way to kill it for good is to move against it as a common evil, affecting all alike. All of us white and black, should seek to drive it out. As long as it is named Negro it will find a hiding place elsewhere and will survive police even when the victim will have fallen to the ground." Dr. Moppins cited an instance where a female member of his congregation was followed on the streets of Birming and accosted by a white man, she caused his arrest, only to find on the street a man who he had permitted bond the night before on some fictitious paper and could not be found.

PUBLISHERS MAY UNITE According te rumor, the Maryland Voice Publishing Company and the Emergency Baptist Printing Company will amalgamate. The former company publishes a weekly paper known as the Maryland Voice, of which Dr. Alexander is the editor. The latter publishes a weekly magazine, edited by Dr. Gray. HOSPITAL NET ARMORY JANUARY 30th NTS AGE OF DANCING WIDE SCOPE OF HAMPTON'S WORK Trustees Decide to Enlarge Plans For the Erection of Auditorium In Honor of the Late Robert C. Ogden-Dr. H. B. Frissell Tells of Hampton's Achievements and Present Needs. The rapid growth of the Hampton school has been made necessary by the fact that hundreds of applicants have been refused each year for lack of room and by the insistent demands made upon the school for industrial and agricultural leaders, as well as for teachers for the rural schools, says Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the Hampton (Va.) institute. The enlarged number of students has filled the dining rooms to overflowing, and the increased interest which the community takes in all the activities of the school has brought so many to the lectures and the Sunday evening gatherings that the present assembly room in Cleveland hall is very much overcrowded. For this reason it has seemed best to the trustees to enlarge the plans of the Ogden Memorial auditorium so that it will seat 2,400 instead of the 1,600 originally provided for. The new auditorium will make it possible to use Cleveland Hall chapel for an additional dining room and so solve another serious problem. The increased size and the rapid rise in the price of materials, however, will almost double the cost of the building. One hundred thousand dollars has already been raised, and at least $80,000 more will be needed for its completion. The building is to be erected as a memorial to Robert C. Ogden, for many years president of the school's board of trustees and a lifelong friend of the founder of Hampton institute and of the Negro and Indian races. The auditorium, however, is not only to commemorate Mr. Ogden's service to Hampton, but is also to be a monument perpetuating the appreciation of the south for his assistance in developing its educational resources. The southern education board in its Ogden memorial booklet said: "Through the conference for education in the south he touched the great hearts of the north and south and put upon the nation's conscience a universal need. Not by persuasion, not by fanatical insistence, but by the contagion of his own personal devotion, he rallied men from every section, from every walk and station in life, rich and poor, high and lowly, white and black, to the cause which he advocated." HOWARD ALUMNI SHOW LOYALTY TO ALMA MATER All Graduates Urged to the Fore For Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration. Washington.—The alumni of Howard throughout the country are awakening to the meaning of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of that institution at Washington, March 1, 2 and 3, as being of great moment. In its meaning to them as well as to their alma mater. The plan already in operation contemplates the revival of local associations and the organization of others where three or more of Howard graduates reside. In each of these localities, through these associations or groups of the alumni, arrangements are being perfected for a celebration on March 2 concurrent with the big celebration in this city, when each association or group of the alumni will be represented by a delegate. The meeting of March 1 will be held in Convention hall and will assume a general public character. On March 2 historical night will be celebrated at the First Congregational church, and on March 3 the alumni will be given the day, which will take the plan of a reunion of departments in the forenoon, luncheon at noon as guests of the university, and in the afternoon a grand rally. At night a reception will close the celebration. It is further planned that the alumni will complete their $10,000 alumni gymnasium fund started in 1908, toward which they have in hang $2,000 in cash and more than $6,000 pledged. The plan which is now being circulated individually among the alumni is to have each alumnus contribute on or before March 2 in time to be announced at the public celebration $1 for each year he or she may have been out from the university up to ten years, after that $1 for each five years or multiple thereof, thus placing it in the reach of all. Those who have pledged are urged to make good at once, as they are counted on to raise this fund. Local associations at Baltimore, Chicago, Clinchnati, Dallas, Denver, Huntington, W. Va.; Kansas City, Mo.; Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I.; Los Angeles, Louisville, Ky.; Lynchburg, Va.; Muskogee, Okla.; New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Va., and Wheeling, W. Va., have given evidences of co-operation and are working with a view of seeing which can roll up the largest sum on this fifteenth birthday of the university. Individual endorsements from all over the country seem to assure the popularity of the movement, and success seems assured. Pledges and contributions may be sent through the offices of the General Alumni association, 620 F street, N. W. or the treasurer of Howard university, and will be acknowledged by return mail.

They did all they coil, but the child was at death's door. The white doctor told me, (Mrs. Brooks) that he had done all he could, and there was no hope for Gladis' recovery.

A CHANCE FOR REAL LEADERSHIP While it may be true that it is the part of policy for the leading colored men of the South to urge the Negro to remain in the South and work out his destiny there, it seems to us the better policy, and as a matter of fact an opportunity, for the leaders of the race to have a heart to heart talk with the better class of white people while urging the Negro to stay in the South, it is only on the ground that conditions there shall be vitally changed. Lynching must be stopped, better school facilities provided; better teachers provided, and over and above all the Negro shall be protected in his rights, civil and political. The South needs the Negro as much as the Negro needs the South. There never will be a time when the majority of Negroes will not be in the South, and in view of that the white man must learn that his staying in the South will depend entirely upon his treatment while there. And the Negro leader in the South, no matter who he may be, is not true to himself nor true to his race unless he demands of the dominant race in the South fair treatment for his race. The time has come and now is for the Negro to stand on his manhood, and if he cannot receive' fair treatment in the South, his home, then he will have to make a new home for himself elsewhere, and in doing this he must be reminded that he will have to stand some hardships before he will come into full possession of all that belongs to him and will come to him in his new home. Like every other thing, there will be those who will enter into the new land without courage and will soon return to the house of bondage rather than contend with the hardships of the new land. But there will be others who will stay and like the Israelits of old will go up and possess the land. And they and the land will both be the better for it. What are our civic societies and the churches doing for the number of immigrants who are coming here from the South in such large numbers. Sometime ago we called attention to the numbers of colored people who are coming here and working at the great steel works at Sparrows Point. It was made plain in an article at the time Mr. Schwab was entertained here at a dinner that he and the officials at the works stood ready to second any move that had for its object the bettering of the condition of those who were working there. It seems to us that here is an opportunity that ought to be taken advantage of, both for our own interests and for those who are coming into our midst. If we do not look after them, in many instances the police will, and for every arrest, no matter from where these people come, the same will be counted against us. Let us look to it. Since Madame Walker has acquired a fortune in the last decade in the hair business and is reputed to have Dominique and Haiti, without any rights perhaps the wealthiest colored woman in the country. According to reports, Mrs. Walker has purchased a $75,000 lot and will erect a $100,000 home on Long Island across from the property formerly occupied by Helen Gould, and next to the estate of John D. Rockefellow. One of these days John and the Madame will gossip over the back fence and tell each other how they won their success in business. WASHINGTON AND WORK The only new light on the character of the late Booker T. Washington that has been thrown by the several new books since his death is the revolution us to the paces at which he forced his subordinates to work, and the relative severity with which he enforced discipline, and there are some friends of the great educator who express surprise at this. How mistaken they are. How mistaken lots of us are about the same principle when applied to ourselves. There is the school boy who has the strange notion that he can master American history by applying himself to his recitation for an hour each day. Later the same chap well enter business with the desire to make a fortune by "being on the job" eight hours a day, hour for dinner. This type of mind it is that shows surprise that Booker Washington in building up a four million dollar plant and begging annually the large sum to run it, could afford to allow the men in his office to have a union day or take union hours for himself. Anybody who has the idea that great men accomplish their work in the world by working a stipulated number of hours per day, makes the biggest mistake of his life. Can you imagine Shakespeare writing "Hamlet" or Loeffler discovering the diphtheria germ by devoting himself to his task only between nine and ten o'clock every day? On the other hand, men who have a great work to do are obsessed with its performance as the lunatic with his delusion. It never leaves him. Edison is said sometimes to eat his meals while standing over the apparatus in his laboratory, and to sleep but two or three hours during the night. Work was Booker Washington's passion, and his subordinates caught the spirit from him. Said he, "Education is work, education is for work." Anyone who could not, would not work found out that Tuskegee had no place for him. CONSTENCY THOU "No peace can last, or ought to last, which does not recognize and accept the principle that governments derive all authority from the grant of government, and that no right anywhere exists to hand peoples about from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were property." The above is an extract from the address delivered by President Wilson before the Senate of the United States this week. Evidently President Wilson, in looking over the vast distance between this country and Europe had forgotten that these United States had just purchased from Denmark, the Danish West India Islands, oh that the Phillipine Islands and Porto Rico, now dependencies of this Government, had come to them as the direct results of the war with Spain, and that now these same United States are holding sovereignty over the islands of Santa an annual income of $200,000, she is in the premises whatever, except the right of the strong to take and keep if it so desires. President Wilson also forget, or pretended not to know, that when he shall be inaugurated on the fifth of March next, to hold the office of President for the next four years, he will hold that office because of the fact that in more than a dozen States colored men were prevented from casting their ballots, and therefore these people are being governed without their just powers of consent guaranteed by the constitution of these United States. It is one thing to see the faults in others or to spread ourselves in advising what others should do without being able to see and measure up to our own surroundings. President Wilson, in one of the greatest State papers of the age, possibly, goes to great length to state what shall or should be the outcome of the present war in Europe, but not a word in the past four years as to what shall be done to bring about the same conditions in this country. It might be well said: "Physician heal thyself." UNIVERSAL TRAINING AND MILITARY SCHOOLS The adoption of the Chamberlain bill for universal military training now before a sub-committee of the Senate, or of some other measure for the military training of all able bodied men in the country, would be a much simpler procedure were it not compilated by the fact that any federal measure for such training must make some disposition of the colored citizen. "With one exception all of the Southern states prohibit the formation of state militia companies. One of the objections to the federalizing of the militia was the eligibility of the Negro. It is plain then that any measure for universal military service must exclude the Negro or meet the opposition of the solid South. This whole question of the place of the colored population in universal training was tingled still more recently when Messrs. Giles B. Jackson and James Hayes, Democrats of Richmond, Va., appeared before the sub-committee advocating a separate military school in which to train colored officers for the colored rank and file under the proposed universal military training service. Perhaps the Senate will not be asked to vote for a jim crow West Point for the simple reason that the administration may consider a universal military training not under the authority of the several states "impracticable." If it should, it ought to be defeated. To establish military departments in one or in several of the colored institutions might prove an acceptable addition to the work of these schools. But to establish a separate West Point would be to write an official sanction for the first time since the passage of the amendments to a system of segregation on the part of the government in dealing with its citizens. The silver loving cup presented by Governor Willis of Ohio, and offered by the N. A. A. C. P. to Sheriff Ely of Lima, Ohio, has the following inscription: "For devotion to duty in defending a colored prisoner from lynching, enduring torture and insult that the majesty of the law might be upheld in Lima, August 30, 1916." The Gov- ernor of Kentucky comes in for good wishes if not for a loving cup. PROUD OF HIS RACE PROUD OFFERS A few weeks ago a new novel of the great book author, Alexander Dumas was discovered and has received considerable mention through out the literary world. A French writer in Lafaye gathers together some reminiscences of the great novelist and among them is the following: "It is said of Dumas that he would often get up behind his own carriage in order to demonstrate to his friends that he had a Negro footman. He always seemed very proud of the fact that he had African blood in his veins."—Kansas City Sun. That reminiscent of an interview attempted by a fresh American reporter who had called upon Dumas in the paper of his master. "Your anesthety," said the reporter "I understand was a trifle clouded." "No," answered the novelist, "not clouded. On the contrary, it was dark, but clean." Of course, lonality was your grand father." asked the reporter. "He was a Negro," promptly answered Dumas. wretched Donna, "And your grandfather's father?" "Yes." He was a native African," Blandly returned, the French Negro. "Now, may I ask," pursued the reporter, "what was your great-grand- "Certainly," responded Dummas. "He was a baboon. You see, monsieur, my ancestry began where yours left off." - Hopkinsville Saturday News. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM. I want to reply to the article that appeared in last week's Afro-America can under above caption. The above article appeared as a report of the fourth quarterly conference of Bethel Church. I want the public to know the attitude we have had since we have been Bristol. We have been in a case under three heads—first, Statement; second, Explanation; third, Challenge. First—Before I came to Baltimore, I was called by the then Presiding Bishop, L. J. Coppin, who explained to me the extreme delicacy of the arduous task, he was calling me to assume, I was told it was the heaviest task of the job, but I was skilled general he told me it required nothing but heroic sacrifice. He then said if I succeeded it would be one of the greatest efforts of any minister in the A. M. E. Church. He asked me if I would go willingly: I was then Presiding Elder of the Norfolk District of the Virginia Conference, and myself to the task with all the power in me. So I was given Charge. EXPLANATION CHALLENGE Some people criticize the pastor's mode of ruling the church. It is true the pastor has had many delicate questions to answer but he believes he was guided in his answers by the spirit of God. I make the following challenge. I will pay three judges five dollars each to sit as jurors. They may be leading pastors of our church, or of any other church—lawyer or any other unbiased citizens, white or colored, it may be a civil or ecclesiastical inquiry and I will meet any man who questions the justice or equity of any ruling I have made and the case to these unbiased judges. If nobody makes up, I will meet them at any time. If I am wrong, I want someone to come forth in the name of God and show where the wrong or crime is. If this challenge is not taken up, I will conclude the opposition to me is not honest and I will have no more to say through the newspapers. (Signed) J. W. SANDERS, Pastor Bethen E. M. E. Church Bethen E. M. Church Sr. THE INFERIORITY OF AFRICAN METHODISM When I read in the Afro-American the war I took complimentary words of the war. I read in the book exclusively Negro Methodist bodies, my mind took me back some twenty odd years ago, when the late Bishop Paret, desiring to be perfectly fair, and anxious to learn at first hand, availed himself of the presence of the late African Methodist Bishops, meeting in this city, where he was Bishop Turner, invited the whole body to honor him with their presence at the Episcopal residence, and library. Possibly, there never has been, in the Episcopal House of Bishops, one more strongly conservative, and cautious, than he wanted to meet face to face with the African Methodist Bishops and through conference with them, to learn the truth. I shall only give a brief extract of the impression produced upon Bishop Paret by a friendly interview. The party remained at the Episcopal residence for three hours, and then moved over soon any part of the congregation together on a similar mission, so thoroughly at Free, frank, and comprehensive in the various discussions covering every phase of Negro life. Some two years after the meeting between Bishop Paret, and the African Methodist Bishops, Dr. Paret the missionary magazine of the Episcopal Church, ventured to communicate to the church what he thought of the leadership of the African Methodist Church. The extract below is taken from the May 1973 "Solitir of Missions:" "I was soon convinced that these were strong men—mitted to be leaders, and really leading strongly and wisely. Some, I am sure, were thoroughly educated, whether all were I cannot say; but if not, natural qualities and experience were well used. Their leading Bishop Turner began the conversation by telling me he learned his first Latin and Greek, and his love for the Church, which he had never lost, in the very room where we were sitting, from the lips of Bishop Whittingham, and the whole conversation proved clearly on the part of almost all the seven, a kindly and loving appraisal of their own nationality of the Church, and its nature for kindly relations with them. They talked freely and fully on all points, begging me to ask questions, and when any special point was raised, Bishop Turner immediately referred it to the one whom he thought specially fitted to answer. The extent of their work, their organization, their financial methods, their ordination the training and education of their children, the powers and duties of their Bishops, their methods of worship, the mortality and spiritual character of their people, their educational institutions, all these were explained. The African Methodist Episcopal Church is a powerful body, its organization is strong, wise (humanly speaking) and efficient. ... And this leads to that wonderful result: this great organ of colored people is entirely self-supporting, reeling no money help at all from the whites." Bishop Paret asked the most searching questions. He did not play at the thing. He wanted to satisfy himself at first hand. Possibly, if Dr. Goucher, and other Methodists, were Methodists "inferior" "every way" to the colored people of the Methodist, Episcopal Church, would follow the kindly example of the late Bishop Paret, and request a conference with the African Methodist Bishops, his present estimate before he would right receive important modifications. GEORGE F. BRAGG, Jr AN APPRECIATION There are times in our lives when we are lost for words to express our feelings to those who have been kind to us, that state possesses we now. I deeply appreciate the kindness showed by the many friends, white and colored, in their expressions of sorrow to me, in their grief, in their love of my mother, Mary A. Bishop. I desire to especially thank the pastor, trustees. Willing Workers and the choir of Ames Memorial Church; the Preachers' Wives' Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Grand Lodge of Pythia, the Society No.2, K. of Friend, Rev. J. C. Love, and all other friends, and to my brethren of the Baltimore Preachers' Meeting of Washington Annual Conference. I will forever feel under obligations to you to serve you in any way that I can for the tender interest and sympathy that you gave me in this my deep sorrow. Rev. C. B. Bishop MASTER LEROY MITCHELL THANKS HIS PAT Master Leroy Mitchell, who was the recipient of the $2.50 prize offered to the boy selling the largest amount of Afro-Americans, wishes to tend his thanks for the prize to his manager of the Afro-Americans for his assistance it possible for him to sell the paper so readily. He says the reason he sells so many papers is because of the large amount of news it contains about colored people that is impossible to get from the white papers.

Johnson Penny Club of Trinity A. M. E. Church, was organized a few years ago for the purpose of helping foreign missionary work. They made several large contributions to Bishop Johnson while on the coast of Africa. This organization decided to deliver all of Mrs. Bettie Bell, 1030 Druid Hill avenue, to arange and form plans for their new work. They concluded that there was very needy work in this city connected with the A. M. E. Church, especially the Home for the Aged on Alaquah街, and decided to put forth the same effort, to help this worthy institution. Every member and friend is urged to help and bring the organization to meet weekly as formerly.

Here is a short extract from the Washington Herald: "There are seven kinds of hands," said Rev. James Gordon yesterday at the First Congregational Church, Tenth and G streets northwest, in his sermon on "The Science of Palmistry, or Character as Revealed in the Hand." They are the square, the full, the horny, the sensitive, the artistic, the composite, and the long. The index to character is the hand. Infancy, naidhood, strength, weakness, toll, greed, affection, death and royalty are all seen in the hand. "Think of the flexibility of the hand. The music master, artist, mechanic, actor, politician, soldier, and lover are all seen in the hand formation. The marvelous adaptability of the hand is a study in itself. Ancients studied the hand as they did astrology. Palmistry is the result of study along these lines. Ten thousand lines in the hand stand for as many characteristics in life. "Strong character or weak character is seen in the hand lines. History and prophecy are just what you put into them. Design is seen in the hand. "Scientific identification was first brought to light by the Chinese in thumb study. The most wonderful hand is that of the infant. Left-handed people are a blessing in bringing humanity back to a balanced life. The science of handshaking is advancing. It speaks volumes for cordiality, dignity, aloofness, love and whole heartedness. The value of the hand is the result of the work of the hand. Sculpture grounds in emphasis of the moral qualities of the hand. The consecrated hand is now doing unbounded good. The Great Hand of history is the Pierced Hand of Christ. "All altruistic service is the outcome of the touch 'Of the Hand That was Wounded for us.'" CONSULT LEO S. OSMAN 1625 PENNSYLVANIA AVE. Next door to the Regent Theatre BALTIMORE, MD.

Moore Speaks To A Large Audience At Y.M.C.A.Meeting That the proper age for a man to think of marrying is between the ages of 25 and 30 and that a woman, is generally five years older than a man of the same age in experience and common sense, were some of the points brought out by Dean Lewis P. Moore, of Howard University, in an address at the Regent Theatre Sunday afternoon. He was speaking on "The New Science of Matrimony" at the third of a series of meetings held under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, and a large audience of men and women were present. men, "Nation or people can hope to be 100 per cent efficient unless there are those things in the home life that make for a permanent and lasting happiness," he said, "and the history of nations has proven that none have been able to survive who have persisted in disregarding the sanctity of the home. The average American does not take as much interest in the selecting of a partner for life as he does in choosing a horse or a pig. Little thought or investigation is given to the heredity, health or temperament of the life partner and as a result the alarming number of nearly one and a half million divorces in the past forty years is the result. yes. "No one plants corn and expects to raise peas. So no one can expect to marry the mentally or morally diseased and expect to raise happy, healthful children." Dr. Moore said that a man or woman who married should be able to pass the same kind of physical examination that would be required upon taking out a policy in a standard life insurance company. He also deplored the growing tendency of smaller families, declaring that smaller families, even if better equipped, meant a slow but sure extinction. A number of musical selections were rendered by the Glee Club of Morgan College and the Alphain Glee Club. BIG TIME AT THE ARMORY Biggest Crowd of the Season Expected At Hospital Benefit Plans have been completed for the big demonstration to be given by a committee of gentlemen for the benefit of Provident Hospital at the Richmond Market Armory this Tuesday evening. Twenty-five men composing the St. Katharine's Minstrels, are in nightly practice, and one of the best amateur performances ever seen in Baltimore will no doubt be the result of their efforts. On the day of the affair, the managers are arranging for a big automobile parade with the probable services of a band in order that the few who may be still lethargic, may be aroused. Tickets on sale at the Drug Stores have been going fast and those who do not want to miss the big show are getting the little piece of pastard early in order that there will be no chance of a disappointment. MRS. DUNBAR IN BALTIMORE Aged Mother of Famous Poet Gives Talk to Students Mrs. Matilda L. Dunbar, mother of the famous poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, came to Baltimore on invitation of Dean William Pickens, to meet and speak to the students of Morgan College. She was accompanied by Mrs. Garnet C. Wilkinson, wife of the principal of the new Dunbar High School, Washington. Her talk was most eloquently appealing when she told how the little black elevator boy had struggled to get out his first book. She has the humor and the fullness of feeling and life which was the foundation of her poet son, as it is one of the greatest powers of his race. MEN'S DAY AT TRINITY The tenth annual man's day will be observed at Trinity A. M. E. Church Sunday, Rev. S. S. Morris, the noted pulpit orator, of Norfolk, Va., will preach at the morning and evening services. In the afternoon a musical and literary program will be rendered by some of the leading local talent of the city at which time John W. Martin will preside. H. A. Whittington is president of the committee in charge of the services. CHOIR RENDERS CANTATA The choir of Ehenezer A. M. E. Church was heard to good advantage on last Monday night when the dramatic cantata "Belshazzar's Feast" was rendered in the main auditorium of the church. The rendition was under the direction of Mr. Charles Henry, leader of the choir, and was creditable from every point of view. Rev. Charles Stewart is pastor of the church. ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN Y. M. C. A, to Round by Large Number Between Jan. 29 and Feb. 12 Extensive preparations are being made to make the next fw weeks the banner days in the work of the association this year. This greater membership campaign of the Y. M. C. A. will be conducted by fifty members of the association. The organization will be modeled after the organization of the national past time, shall be known as the World Series Baseball Contest. The different teams will be named after the American and National League teams with three men on each team. The Baseball commission is composed of the following members—W. H. Langley, Dr. A. O. Reid and D. J. Lewis, Dr. A. O. Reid is chairman of the National League and D. J. Lewis is chairman of the American League. All the teams have been filled and both leagues claim that they will win in the series. Each member brought in will count a run, either new, or renewal. A large score board has been made and is on exhibition at the association building. Four prizes will be offered the winners. The slogan is "800 members in 15 days." If the 500 members renew their membership, there remains only 300 members to get in order to reach the 800 mark. The committee of management has voted to have the membership fee during the campaign $1.00, with the privilege of a sustaining membership for $3.00. Now is your chance to show your world-wide brotherhood, an organization that has a great future. Your membership is needed, your influence is needed, your unselfish support is needed in that we give our boys a fair chance in the race of life. IN SPORT CIRCLES BIG BASKET BALL LEAGUE TO GET UNDER WAX The fact that the first annual Basket Ball League for the colored young men in Baltimore will get under way this Saturday night, January 27th at Bethel Hall, Druid Hill avenue and Lanvale street, should be of great interest to all lovers of this great indoor sport. Plans for the organization of the League were worked out under the direction of Mr. Webb and Mr. Wilson of the Dunbar A. C., Mr. Ross of the High School and Mr. Johnson, the well-known alumnus of Morgan College, and the general direction of the league will be in the direct charge of Mr. Jiro Morita of the Public Athletic League of Maryland. Opportunity for a great work among our young men presents itself at Bethel Hall, and a great deal of credit should be given to Dr. Sanders and the trustees of the church for their kindly co-operation. Six strong teams have made application for admission to the league. They as follows: Dunbar A. C., St. Mary's A. A., High School "A" and "B" teams, Y. M. C. A., and Morgan College. The schedule for Saturday night's games is: Dunbar vs. St. Mary's A. A. and High School "A" team vs. Morgan College. No admission will be charged at the Saturday games. January 27—Dunbar vs. St. Mary's: H. S. "A." vs. H. S. February 3—Y. M. C. A. vs. H. S. "F." Mary's vs. H. S. "A." February 10—Morgan College vs. Y. M. C. A.; H. S. E vs. Dunbar. February 15—St. Mary's vs. H. S. B B. February 17—Dunbar vs. H. S. A; Morgan vs. St. Mary's. February 24—St. Mary's vs. Y. M. C. A.; H. S. A vs. H. S. Morgh 2; Y. M. C. A vs. Dunbar; C. A.; H. S.; M. A.; March; H. S.; M. A.; C. A. vs. Dunbary; W. College vs. H. S. B. Morgan College Marcel M. Morgan College vs. Dunbar M. C. vs. H. S. A. All of the above games will be played in Bethel Hall with the exception of the game to be played on February 15th which will be played at St. Mary's Hall. Y. M. C. A. TOURNAMENT Much interest is being manifested among amateur cue artists in the pocket billiard tournament which commenced at the Y. M. C. A. this week. This is the second tournament held this year and is the largest ever held t the association. The surprise of the tournament was far was the defeat of George Nickens by J. Jones on Monday evening. Nickens, who was looked upon as being one of the contenders for the prize—a cue—had early in the afternoon, defeated D. Hamilton 73-10 and Jones was looked upon as "easy meat". Jones, however, got his stuff" to working,and walked away with the match by a score of 100-54. Booker had an easy time with C. E. Stewart, who was defended 100-58. A. O. Reid took C. N. Butler's measure 100-31, the latter due to over anxiety and excitement, playing a most indifferent game. D. H. Murphy scaled Nathaniel Hall 100-80. Wednesday evening in an interesting match Cassell eliminated Booker by a score of 100-75. Reid, understating the ability of Bell, took the count by a close score of 100-98. citation and it is expected that a num- Perhaps the most brilliant match of the week was played Monday afternoon between Maurice Mitchell and Wesley Hammond, the latter winning by a score of 100-78. The score does not by any means give an indication of the closeness of the game. The real test will come next week, when the contest will be narrowed down to the best players of the Association, and it is expect that a number of surprises will be sprung. The cause of Nielsen is being thrown up to the champs and near champs and the final result is being awaited with interest FROM LINCOLN'S CAGE By J. Henry Alston '17 Practice was resumed in the cage last Saturday for the hard schedule which follows. During the month of February the manager has arranged to take a Southern trip and bring back the laurels to Lincoln. After such a dissatisfied and unfortunate football season Lincoln has determined to win her games of basketball and give Lincoln a creditable standing in baseball. We had hoped to offer the Baltimore public a very interesting game on February 12th but after Lincoln's Christmas trip Howard seemed to get cold feet and refuses to even answer the manager's letters. To further the basketball interests here President Rendall granted Manager James permission to use Livingston Hall for practices and games. Here it is that Lincoln hopes to swamp the Howard lads on February 12, on her Southern trip. Lincoln expects to meet such teams as Hampton, Morgan, The Richmond Boys and probably Fisk. Then upon her return she is planning a trip to Pittsburgh and probably Chicago. This will be the second game of the season that Lincoln will have with Monticello of Pittsburgh. A series has been scheduled with the Vandals of Atlantic City. Still there are some dates open and all teams wishing to be considered will do well to write Manager of Basket Ball, Lincoln University, Pa., Box 131. Games desired for either first or second teams. VANDALS DEFEAT ALPHA BIG FIVE Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 20—In a game conceded to be the fastest ever witnessed in this city the Vandal A. C. quintet downed the Alpha Big Five of New York city to the tune of 45 to 34. The game was replete with brilliant passing, sensational shooting, and teamwork. The score does not show how completely Alpha was outclassed by the seashore players. They outpassed the visitors from New York consistently and their team work was infinitely better than Alpha's and was indicative of the style of play that has baffled all Vandal opponents this season. The systematic manner in which the Vandal players went about their work and the individual brilliance displayed when that style of play was called for elitized much applause from the spectators. It was hard to pick a star from the Candal five. Gilmore, Wiggins and Thomas starred for Al- Field goals: Howard 6, Briscoe 6, Laury 1, Freeman 1, Hilton 1, Wiggins 4, Thomas 8, Glmore 2, Good 1, Roane 1, Goals from souls 1, Good 1, Roane 3, Goals from souls 1, Vandals 3, Alpha 3, Fouls committed: Vandals 17, Alpha 2, Referee Dr. Yates, Dartmouth, Timekeeper Norwood; Scorer Hollingsworth.

BY MARGARET BLACK Dear Margaret, I have read carefully every issue of the Albo-American since you have been editing the Woman's Column, and I've enjoyed reading the column very much, but I've often wondered why you do not write more openly and attentive on the moving picture question. I have three children and the all love to go, but I don't care they much for the class of pictures shown at our moving picture theatres. There is so much of murder, robbery and this ragtime vaudeville, that I think they are better off at home. Don't you think our moving picture theatres could show a better class of pictures? I often see pictures advertised in the daily papers than seem to be so much better than the pictures that are advertised for our picture portals. My friends tell me I'm a crank and much too squeamish about such matters. What do you think of it? Mr. dear Reader. My dear teacher, I've never been a booster for better pictures, and have never had anything to say about the class of pictures shown in the different movie parlor of Baltimore for one reason only—I am not in Baltimore—hence hesitated to either commend or condemn. I have often read the advertisements of the different parlor and wondered why those who patronized them often did not demand a better class of pic- tures. I notice in the ads that they all seem to wish to especially emphasize the serial and comedies. It is hard for a person to judge a place just by the ads it inserts in a newspaper. Of course I am aware there must be some sort of picture shown along with the serial, but what it may be, except in few instances, it is hard to say unless seen. I notice the Carey especially give an extra good show on once a week. The plays, "Jaffrey" "The Flower Of Faith" and "The Ocean Walt" are all good pictures as I can testify having seen them. I do know that The Greater Vitagraph, The Parmount, The Triangle, Universal Mature and World, and hosts of others are not now putting out two and three red films except in comedies. They are all five to eleven reels. If the people want good plays they can demand them and get them if they wish I conclude from the advertisements that they enterer to the university attend. A good picture to make is good or better than a play as it appears in details. such pictures as Amelie Kellerman in "The Bounder of the Gods" "Snow Wizard" from Graham's Fairy Tales, "Snow Wizard" and the Seven Dwarfs" "Snow Wizard" from Booth, Turkington's people—the man who writes such pictures in Stone, "A Shower of Six" books in House, "Civilization" books that any child can see, others are good, but of course not what child under twelve would the family under attack at which the family could be present and care—"The Low Dedoes" "The American Country and the Western Country that God Formed" "The Lilah a Dock—fine" "The town of Bremen" "The Chattel" "An Enemy of King" "Somewhere in Bremen" "A corner in Colleen" "The Bremen Ground" "The Storm of Victory" "The Mortgage of Mary" "His Wife's Good Name" "The Little Lion" "The Social Fever" "The Return of Eve" "His Wife Austin"—an ugly name with a good play—It is about a child BIBLE CLASS ORGANIZED On last Sunday morning a number of young men and women met in the before room of Payne Memorial A. M. E. Church and organized an undocumented Bible class which was named after the late Bishop James A. Handy, who was a great factor in the founding of this church July 14, 1887. The following persons were elected teachers and officers: Mr. Wilbert Waters, teacher; Mr. Wesley Thomas and James E. Neale, assistants; Chas. T. Gilles, president; Mrs. Eloise Pinder, secretary; Mr. Asbury Ford, librarian; Mr. Rober, Daniels, assistant. A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING Mrs. Violeta Lowman, who was so beautifully married to Mr. Louis E. Lowman by Rev. J. W. Sanders, pastor of Bethel Church and the wedding march so beautifully played by little Miss Marie Holland, of Dolphin street, took place on December 31, 1916, at the home of the bride's parents, 1519 David Hill avenue. They were both attired in the latest evening dress. The menu was served by Caterer Logan Jenkins. It was indeed a swell home wedding. They received many house calls as guests. The bride will return to the city for a short visit at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Dodd, on January 30, 1017, where she will receive her many friends. NOTICE At the last meeting of the Maryland State Colored Teachers' Association it was voted to have a contest for the most popular teacher in the state. The contest was decided upon in order to raise funds for a campaign for a minimum salary for colored teachers. Teachers interested will kindly write Mr. H. J. Lowers, chairman. Sparrows Port. Md. who will furnish full participants. D. S. S. Goodloe, president; Jesse Nicholas, secretary. P. S.—Teachers who did not pay their annual dues of 50 cents at Salisbury, will kindly send same to Mr. Jesse Nicholas, secretary. Govans, Md. IN MEMORIAM LEWIS—In sad and loving remembrance of our dear daughter and sister, Carrie E. Lewis, who departed this life two years ago today, January 27, 1915. Yet again we hope to meet her When the days of life has fled When in heaven with joy we'll greet her Where no farewell tears are shed. By her mother and sister CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our sincere thanks to our friends for their kindness to us during our mother's illness and for the beautiful floral offerings at her death. Leonard Wiggins Constance Rankins Myrtle Rice left to the guardianship of lumber jacks.—"In the Diplomatic Service," "The Intriguo" "American Aristocracy," "The Awakening of Helena Ritchie," "The Kid" are all late plays and good ones, any one of which your play houses could afford to show if they so wished. They are pictures that I know can be shown without any increase of price for admission with two exceptions—Annette Kellerman in "The Daughter of the Gods," and "Civilization." I object to censorship on a good many plays, especially when it is exploited in the newspapers, because it simply serves as an advertisement which is readily taken advantage of by moving picture boosters. I am publishing part of your letter, hoping some good may come out of it, and that mothers and people generally who love to attend such places of amusement, may wake up and demand better plays, as I am of the opinion that if discussions can be aroused and the sentiment for good pictures become known, the manager of your theatres will do their best to give the people the highest class of pictures obtainable. It would be presumption on my part to say what they shall or shall not show, its a question that must be decided by the people who patronize such places. No outsider is a judge of what he can not see. It must be settled by local public opinion. KEEP YOUR BABY IN A PEN Every baby should have a creeping pen. It affords the necessary protection to the baby and gives room for exercise. A creeping pen consists of a fence made in four sections, each say eighteen inches high and five feet long, hinged at three corners and latched at the fourth. Ready made pens have spindles like a stair rail so that the baby may have something to take hold of when he tries to climb to his feet. As it folds together the pen can be readily moved above. The floor of the pen should be made of something soft to save the baby from bumps. A cork mat is the clearest and best material, but a blanks or rug will answer. A combination bed and play pen, the sides of which are covered with wire netting, is very desirable. The bottom is made of flexible skids and covered below with netting. The bed has a cover so that the baby is completely protected from flies and mosquitoes, and is perfectly safe. It is furnished with castors or wheels, so that it may be folded up when not in use. When it is not possible to purchase one of the ready made articles an ingenious person may devise a satisfactory play pen from any materials at hand. One woman took a store box thirty inches wide and a little over four feet in length and tucked a padding all around the inside and the bottom made out of cotton and unbleached cotton put together like a spilt she then covered the whole of the inside with good white twill goods easily removed and washed and the outside with a good grade of cotton, she tacked ordinary house handles to each end—cassily procured from any furniture or hardware store—and put pots in each corner. It is a cozy little creeping and play pen and padded so heavily that even though baby pulls up and tumbles over and lifeshes or face on the floor it does not creep. Blue, and then he is never in a drench and does not catch cold very cold. ANGELS—WHO ARE THEY? Symphesis of Sermon by Elder G. P. Rodgers, Pastor S. D. A. Church To a privileged few, permission has been given to meet face to face these heavenly messengers. Baham had quite an experience with an angel on the road from Pethor to the camp of Israel. Num., 22:31-32. Gabriel, the mighty angel, who stands in the presence of God, is the first to enter the Baptist, promising to Zacharias and his wife this son, who proved to be the for-runner of the Messiah. To Peter, Daniel, Job, Abraham, Lot and many other of the faithful of God in Bible times as well as in our own day. Ministered these messengers, encamping around about them and delivering them from harm and danger. One angel slew 185,000 Assyrians and many were marshaled in the days of Elisha, around the camp of Israel, to protect the people of God from the Syrians. 2 Kings 6:8-17. These angels, an innumerable number. Hebrews 12:22 are not less than 101,000,000 according to Daniel 7:10 and Revelation 5:11. They know our names, our business, our residences, Acts 10:1-6; they record our words and actions Matthew 12:36 and Ecclesiastes 5:6; they travel between earth and heaven with the rapidity of lightning, Matt. 18:10 and Ezekiel 1:12-14, and in the resurrection morning will be commissioned to gather the righteous for transportation into the Kingdom of heaven Matthew 24:29-31. Its these angels that will place the sleeping father's Isaiah 10:22 (hat clause). (To be continued next week when a description of the angels will be given.) Advt.
