PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MARYLAND'S 3710 WEEKLY NEWSPAPER BISHOP HURST'S STRONG ADDRESS Tells Southerners why the Colored People are Going to the North in Such Large Numbers THE SOUTH HAS REMEDY Must Guarantee Equal Municipal Benefits and Stop Rule of the Mob. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 3.—No more fearless or truthful statement with reference to conditions in the South has been uttered from the lips of a Negro leader in a decade than that of Bishop John Hurst, before a mixed audience in this city a few days ago, only portions of which became public property. Aroused by the large numbers of Negro laborers who were leaving the South certain white and colored leaders agreed upon the idea of having a public meeting at which the matter of the Negro exodus would be discussed in full and some good advice given to the people of the race by a man whom it was thought the people would hear. Bishop John Hurst was selected for the principal speaker. He prose fully to the occasion. In the audience were thousands of the best white and colored people of the city, many of the former having come upon the express invitation of Charles H. Anderson, one of Jacksonville's foremost Negro leaders. In the outset Bishop Hurst declared that any consideration of the causes leading up to the Negro hegira should be searching and thorough and declared that the great aim that both white and black men must set before them in this and all other problems was the truth. He felt the weight resting upon him as a minister and as one of the leaders of the people to deal frankly with his people and to be absolutely fair in any proposition that effected them. Declaring that he would not shake off the responsibility if he could, and that if he did so he would not be worthy to be associated with the pioneer preachers who left a heritage to the Negro race, he boldly went into all phases of the problem in language that was as unmistakable as it was frank, fearless and truthful. Said Bishop Hurst in part: "The North finds itself in the grip of the most marvellous industrial movement that has ever been known in this country. Its shops, its mills, its factories, in fact all of its industries have been over-taxed through the world war. Heads of industries had to look around to find a supply of men to take the places of those who had gone. They naturally were made to believe that there was a surplus of men in the South. "Blatant politicians, who thought themselves authorized to speak for the South, stood up in the halls of Congress and declared that the South should get rid of the hay and shiftless Negro. It is a fact of public notoriously that white men in the South have armed themselves to drive Negroes away one day and the next day with a shot gun to prevent him from going. "The exodus of the Negro laborer from the South means the closing down of the mills of the South, the abandonment of its farms, the surrender of the beautiful scheme of roads that is being developed, the giving up of fine colleges and universities established everywhere within her borders. In short it means the complete impoverishment of this part of the country. Necessarily the South has got to be serious. "There are two facts which must not escape any one in looking over the situation. The first is: the South has never worked white laborers and no one dare say how well it would work with them. It would be entirely a new experience, but we know that the methods used in the South in dealing with labor would hardly succeed with white laborers. The employer in the South is nothing but a boss. All he knows is to boss and give orders, and I mean give orders in a way that other real men are not going to accept. Then again, there is a phase of this new situation which must not escape our minds: It would tend to destroy the pure American blood that is said to have been preserved in the South. I am an American citizen, and though I see no particular virtue in blood (for I have seen it in the gutter; I have seen it drunk; I have seen it with an extended arm begging; I have seen it fall in honorable places in the great admit that I am in sympathy with the South in its endeavor to preserve what strain of American blood there is in this country." Referring to the inability of the South to get white laborers if it really wanted to get them, Bishop Hurst recounted the experience of a representative of the Italian Government, who some years ago was commissioned to BISHOP JOHN HURST investigate labor conditions in the South and who did so in an exhaustive manner, reporting to his government that the "South did not know how to treat its laborers." Continuing, Bishop Hurst said: "Attractive wages are offered in the North at this time, but it does not warrant Negro, because of these wages, to deliberately walk away from his home, leaving his pigs and his chickens and his little garden, which things represent the accumulation of years of toll. Wages in the North are not going to compensate all at once for the losses sustained. We must remember that persons leaving the South for the North face entirely new living conditions. Rent is high. The climate is unfriendly, and vice, in all its varied phases is organized. And then, there is an advantage in being able to cultivate a garden spot which is not a possibility in the North, save in some small villages. "Now all these benefits the South offers to everybody. But when these advantages are held up to the Negro these days, he rejoins that these do not compensate for his sufferings in the South. He says that a sense of insecurity prevails everywhere among Negroes on account of the very things that would make life pleasant in the South. He says that the home that he helps to build and improve, the garden spot that he cultivates to make life pleasant may have to be abandoned at any time because of the "sovereign treatment measured out to him. He claims that he is lynched for the most trivial offense and sometimes for none at all; that his property is burned just in order that he may be gotten rid of in a neighborhood where his presence is undesirable; that his children are not given an opportunity for education because they are not white; that the police persecute and kill him without even an investigation and that he has no standing at court. "Now, I ask with all solemnity, who is that man so devoid of conscientiousness and self respect that would tell a man who suffers such to continue to submit to it when there is a chance for him to get away? We must remember first of all that the reins of affairs have passed away from the clear-headed and far-sighted man of the South and that they are this day in the hands of the rabble. "If the leaders in the South would call the hounds off our people; if they would see to it that schools are built for our children; if they will see to it that we are not beaten and murdered by the policemen; if they will guarantee to us that we will have equal municipal benefits as tax payers, have play grounds for our children; paved streets in our neighborhoods and lights in front of our houses as they provide for others, who contribute for less to the prosperity of the South than we do, I do not see why the Negro should not stay. "Now, if they are too impatient, too cowardly or if they think themselves not interested to intervene, then let the Negro go and to that class will be long the consequences." Bishop Hurst's address was given rapt attention and was vigorously applauded by both elements in the audience, many of the leaders of both races openly congratulating him upon his brave and manly attitude. FIETH BIG MEETING AT THE REGENT The Y. M. C. A. held its fifth big meeting at the Regent Theater Sunday and in the face of a cold day and many other community meetings, a large number of members were present. 302 men were present, the smallest number during this series, yet the interest and enthusiasm were beyond the standard. Dr. J. R. L. Diggs was the speaker and he was at his best. His subject was "Is Life Worth While." The speaker outlined the basic principles that govern the true life, using as examples the great men of the past. His talk was very inspiring. W. H. Langley, the chairman of the membership campaign, made an appeal to the workers and urged them to join now. The workers were present and many men were added to the membership as a result of the meeting. BISHOP WALTERS LAID TO REST Large-Concourse Pay Last Tribute of Respect to Zion's Senior Prelate. A REMARKABLE CAREER Was Elevated to the Bishopric When Only Thirty-three Years Old. New York, February 7—A vast throng attended the funeral of Bishop Alexander Walters at Mother Zion Church Tuesday of this week. Bishop George W. Clinton delivered the eulogy, and a number of other bishops and clergymen assisted in the services. Interment was in Cypress Hill Cemetery. Bishop Walters died Thursday of last week, following an illness dating from last summer. It was only several weeks ago that he left St. Luke's Hospital after a vain effort to regain his health. He was a little over 33 years of age at the time of his elevation to the bishopric in 1892, being one of the youngest men so honored in this country. He was a noted figure, and probably was more in the limelight than any minister of his denomination since the days of the late J. C. Price. BISHOP WALTERS' CAREER Bishop Walters was born in Bardstown, Ky., August 1, 1858. He received his early training by private instruction. He began the study of theology at Indianapolis in 1876, and the following year was licensed to preach. He filled a number of important charges in his denomination. He was elected to the bishopric in 1892, and the retirement of Bishop Hood last May made him the senior prelate of the connection. He was a trustee of the National Christian Endeavor Society, had been a delegate to an ecumenical conference and served for seven successive terms as president of the Afro-American Council. The last meeting of the council was held in this city in 1908. Bishop Walters was an outspoken advocate of the rights of the race. He was one of the colored men who believed ardently that a considerable number of colored men should seek an honorable standing in the Democratic party. As president of the National Negro Democratic League, he worked hard to bring this about. The league was active in the congressional elections of 1910 and two years later worked ardently for the election of President Wilson. Despite the hard work done by him and his colleagues, he was able to secure but scant recognition for the colored Democrats. It is said that Bishop Walters was offered the position of United States Minister to Haiti, but declined as he considered his work as a bishop of more importance. During the past years he had frequent conferences with President Wilson and other prominent Democrats regarding recognition of colored Democrats. He was one of those who are said to have been instrumental in getting the reappointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell confirmed by the United States Senate. He did not succeed in landing any big position for a colored Democrat, however, as President Wilson reconsidered his determination to appoint a colored man as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbin. Bishop Walters was twice married, his first wife (Miss Katie Knox, of Indianapolis), dying some years ago. He was married to Miss Lelia Brown, of Kentucky, in 1903. She and several children are among the surviving relatives. The prelate had visited Baltimore a number of times, and for the four years prior to last May had charge of the work of the A. M. E. Zion Church in this section of the country. He presided over the sessions of the National Negro Democratic League, held here in 1912 at the time that the National Democratic Convention met. It is a coincidence that his autobiography, entitled "My Life and Work," It is a coincidence that his autobiography, entitled "My Life and Work," has just been issued from the press.

ELKS' MINSTRELS BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS LEAVES $125,000 TO HIS COLORED NURSE Jacksonville, Fl., Feb. 3.—Florida society and business circles received a distinct shock this week when it became known that the late 'Robert Weldon, one of the state's most prominent business and real estate men, had bequeathed to his Negro "nurse" property and cash to the amount of $125,000, which was considerably more than he left his wife. Mr. Weldon's estate is estimated at from $225,000 to $250,000. The will was made January 3, 1916 and bequeathes to a Mrs. Conrad Schmidt considerable property owned by the deceased in the Security Land Company, and also some to J. H. Taylor and Dr. N. S. Burham. His will reads: "To Sarah P. Thompson, colored, who nursed me through a severe illness without pay, I give lots 16, 17 and 18, block 22, north, Miami also all property and interest I may have whatsoever in Jappe's subdivision, Erickson's addition and Waddell addition to Miami, all these being additions to Miami; I also give her any money I may have on my person or on deposit in any bank and all my personal effects of any nature whatsoever, and direct all this to be turned over to her within one month of my death." The closing clause of the will reads as follows: "The balance of my estate I give to my wife, Alice Weldon, to be paid to her at the rate of $100 per month for two years. Then it shall be given to her as a whole." Mr. Weldon came to Miami during its early days and his estate has been accumulated since that time. VETERAN EDITOR DEAD St. Louis, Mo., February 7.—The funeral of Philip H. Murray, for 25 years editor and publisher of the St. Louis Advance, was held at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Sunday afternoon. Mr. Murray, who was 74 years of age, was born in Reading, Pa. He was one of those that advocated the enlistment of colored troops in the Civil War, and, with Frederick Douglass, spoke in the West in advocacy of the proposition. He was an early advocate of educational advantages for the colored people of Missouri. He moved to this city in 1870, and soon became a prominent figure. Two daughters, one son, three brothers and two sisters are among the surviving relatives. Mrs. Ruth M. Collett, of Baltimore, is one of his sisters. JAMES H. HAYES DEAD Washington, February 7.—The funeral of James H. Hayes, a well known attorney, was held here last Wednesday. He had been in ill health since the death of a favorite son, a student at Howard University, about a year ago. At the time of his death he was living in Washington. Mr. Hayes was educated in the public schools of this city and in the law school of Howard University. He was noted as a speaker, and used his oratorical powers against the adoption of the disfranchising amendment in 1902. He was one of the counsel in the unsuccessful attempt to overturn the law. Mr. Hayes also took considerable interest in politics and at one time represented the old Jackson Ward in the City Council. He supported Roosevelt in 1912, having charge of the work among colored voters. JERRY GRIDER NO MORE St. Joseph, Mo., February 7.—Tereminah Grider, who died here a few days ago, was one of the best known characters in the State.

Barnett, Former Habeas Corpus Attorney, Prominently Mentioned Chicago, February 8.—A hot fight for the aldermanic nomination in the second ward seems assured since Alderman Oscar DePriest has withdrawn from the race. Following Mr. DePriest's indictment in the alleged graft charges here, a number of the newspapers insisted that he should retire from the race. Among those in the contest for the nomination are: Louis E. Anderson, successful lawyer; W. G. Anderson, former lawyer; William R. Cowan, real estate dealer, and Francis L. Barnett, who served sixteen years as habeas corpus attorney for the city. In withdrawing from the race, Mr. DePriest said: "I have carefully considered the matter of my candidacy for alderman of the second ward, in the light of the present unfortunate and distressing conditions as they affect me individually. After mature deliberation, I have decided that my candidacy might jeopardize the interests of the Republican party and perhaps bring loss of representation in the City Council for my race. "I therefore withdraw my name from consideration in this connection and ask the Republican organization and the fair-minded citizens of the town to nominate and clear some other capable and deserving representative of the colored people as alderman of the second ward. "I shall devote myself unreservedly to proving my innocence and restoring my good name in this community."

BALTIMORE HAPPENINGS JUDGE DUFFY SIGNS DECREE Now Up To Enterprise Lodge of Masons to Reinstate Milton R. Lee. --- Despite the fact that a certain well known Attorney, in a signed article in the Commonwealth last week, sought no twit the Afro-American because it published the decision handed down by Judge Duffy in the case of Milton R. Lee against the Maryland Grand Lodge of Masons, which the jurist had delayed in signing, the tables were turned on him and his clients Tuesday, when Judge Duffy, of Circuit Court No. 1, handed down a mandatory decree restoring Milton R. Lee to all the decrees to which he was and is entitled as a member of the Masonic order. The letter of the attorney to the Commonwealth follows in full: WUTTON R. LEE NOT OUT OF MILTON KEWLAND NOT THE BUSHS YET—NO DECREE YET-SIGNED BY JUDGE DUFFY Judge Seeks Additional Light in the Case—Grand Lodge Decision Not Yet Reversed—Case Still Unsettled The Afro-American, with its usual enterprise (?), published in its last week's issue, under the flaming head- lines, what purported to be a decree in the case of Milton R. Lee versus the Grand Lodge of Masons. "It is true that Judge Duffy, who sat in the case, announced the conclusion he had reached, but no decree had been signed at the time of this publication and none has been signed up to this moment (Wednesday, January 21st, 1947)." "On Monday afternoon last Judge Duffy summoned counsel on both sides to court and announced to them his unwillingness to sign a decree until he was more fully advised on certain points not covered in the argument." "The grand Lodge has not taken its appeal, as contemplated, because as yet there is no decree from which to signal. The Afro-American to the converse, no outstanding." "W. ASHRIE HAWKINS. Of Counsel for Grand Lodge, etc." That issue of January 27, when it published the decision handed down by Judge Duffy and that the Attorney's attempt to poke fun at it for so chilling the event so discontinuing to the clients of the attorney, is indicated by the following most sweeping decree signed on Tuesday, February 6: THE MANDATORY DECREE "The cause coming on to be heard, and the Bill, Answer and further proceedings have been read and considered, and after evidence taken, argument had and submission by the counsel for the parties, in conformity with the verbal opinion of this court handed down January 24, 1917: "It is this 6th day of February, 1917, ordered, Adjudged and Decreeed, as follows: "That the suspension of the condemnt. Milton R. Lee, as master of the Enterprise Lodge No. 13 on or about November 17, 1912, by Joseph P. Evans, Grand Master be, and is, hereunto be to be null and void, and "To that the defendants, the Most Workful United Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Maryland, Inc., a body corporate, Joseph P. Prens, its Grand Master, and George T. Dippin, its Grand Secretary, and Enterprise Lodge No. 3, an association of individuals, comprising one of the subordinate lodges of said body corporate, Howard Fitzhugh, Master of said subordinate lodge, James P. Fessenton, Treasurer of said subordinate lodge, Robert A. P. Johnson, Sec- cretary of said subordinate lodge, be, and they are, hereby commanded and required to refrain from hindering and preventing Milton R. Lee, the com- plaint, from exercising and enjoying all of his rights and privileges as Past Master of said Enterprise Lodge No. 3, together with all the rights, and privileges to which the said Milton R. Lee was and is entitled, had he not be suspended by said Grand Master November 17, 1913; and (c) That said Enterprise Lodge No. 3. Howard Fitzhugh, Master, James F. Fessenton, Treasurer; Robert A. P. Johnson, Secretary, and they are, hereby commanded and required to accept all dues and charges now due and payable to said Enterprise Lodge No. 3, by the complainant, Milton R.

William St., New York This question is upon the lips of every member and friend of the Y. M. C. A. in Baltimore. It is a potent question, one that we cannot answer exactly and definitely at this time, because our answer must depend to some extent upon the payment of subscriptions during the next three months. The colored citizens of Baltimore have a balance of ten thousand dollars to be collected, the whole amount of which has been pledged. In all of the other cities where buildings have been erected, the Y. M. C. A. management has had in hand 75 percent of the amount pledged by colored citizens, the amount pledged by colored citizens have been supplied by the white citizens and buildings have gone up without delay. Indications are that this will not be true in Baltimore the white citizens will give $50,000 as pledged and the colored citizens must meet their end of the proposition. This they can do, judging from what they have done during the last four years, when fifteen percent of the population nothing definite as a security; today the actual site has been purchased and the plans are under advisement. This is sufficient proof and guarantee that the management will live up to their agreement and the building will be erected during this year, and I may add, that it must be done this year in order to meet the whole proposition. Our regret is that the colored people have not paid 75 per cent of their share towards the fund. You can help us solve this proposition by making a payment on your pledge. Plans are on foot for launching a final campaign during the last of this month at which time every subscriber will be given an opportunity to rally. Your check will hurry matters now. This ego on your part may mean some trouble for you. Your check that the cause is worthy of sacrifice. We urge you to help us raise $2,500 before April, the amount needed to make 75 per cent of our share. Help us raise $2,500 every May. The boys and young men need this social centre, this factory for the making of men. Other information and particulars, call 1120 Y. M. C. A. Building. IN A NET SHELL Rev. Dr. W. H. Skipwich will wind up a successful evangelistic campaign at Leidenhall Street Baptist Church Sunday and will begin immediately a series of meetings at Union Baptist Church.

Inter Club Basket Ball Games Prove Very Interesting The second set of Basketball games played at Bethel Hall last Saturday night brought out a fair crowd ofooters and they were repaid by the fine article of basket ball put up bythe four contesting teams. Y. M. C. A. jumped right in at the start and during the first half did not allow the High School boys toscore a single point from the field. The entire Y. M. C. A. team played a splendid game, while Smith and Johnson were the High School stars. The final count stood 18-7 in favor of theY. M. C. A.

SHARON CELEBRATES A two-day celebration of the thirty-second anniversary of Sharon Baptist Church, as well as that of its founder and present pastor, Rev. Dr. William Alexander, came to an end with a reception Monday night. The celebration opened with an anniversary sermon by Dr. Alexander Sunday morning. The pastor reviewed the history of the church from its founding, through various stages, until it present location at Striker and Pressman streets. The reception Monday night was laughed at by ministers and laymen of all denominations. Officials of various organizations looked after the comfort of the visitors and F. A.

At the conclusion of the speechmaking, Pastor Alexander was presented a substantial purse. In a well received address, he told of his work for the people and thanked the congregation for the purse. Refreshments and cake were served afterward. Dr. Alexander is one of the best known ministers in this section of the country, and has long been identified with work pertaining to the civil upfit of the race. As corresponding secretary of the Lott Cary Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, the burden of the work of raising funds for African and Haitian mission and educational work falls upon his shoulders.

Second St. Ohama, Ohio Since we have bought the Danish West Indies, the next thing is to find a name for them. A demented colored man sought admission to President Wilson Wednesday with a proposition for drying up the Atlantic Ocean. Perhaps he that was the only way to prevent the German submarines from operating. It is to be wondered what would happen in this city if the school authorities, in order to build a junior white high school, would decide to shorten the school term in the colored high school to three years instead of four. That is what the city of Atlanta, Georgia is contenting doing, and even worse. Atlanta has no high school for the colored children, so the board is considering the abolishment of the seventh grade of the grammar schools. The eighth grade has been done away with for some time. The reduction of expense is to allow the building of a junior white high school. The most many utterance come out of the mouth of a Negro in the South for more than a decade was the speech of Bishop John Hurst recently in Jacksonville, Fla. In no uncertain tones, Bishop Hurst made plain the duty of the South toward the Negro, if it desired his continuance in its midst as a laborer or citizen. No man in the South for many years, except the late Bishop H. M. Turner, (of whom Bishop Hurst is a worthy successor) has had the courage to stand before an audience of white and colored people and tell the truth as he told it. Now that the door has been opened and Bishop Hurst still lives, perhaps others may be encouraged to stand by his side. If so, a new era will come to the Southland, to white and black alike. If one would listen to the arguments of those who are opposing the erection of the new Y. M. C. A. Building at the corner of Dolphin and McCulloh streets, he would probably be impressed with the idea that the building was to be used for the purposes of harboring thieves and black-legs and the slum of the city, when as a matter of fact it is to be used for the highest purposes manifested in work of this kind. The fact that an argument of this sort is used at all is an insult, not only to the colored people of this city but to the Board of Directors of the Central Y. M. C. A., under whose direction the building will be erected. It is to be hoped that the Board which has this matter in charge will pay no heed to the opposition, and go ahead and erect the building. In the meantime it would be well for all those who have not paid their subscription towards this building to do so at the earliest possible moment. The money is needed and it ought to be paid at once. A SUCCESSFUL PASTOR A SUCCESSFUL PASSAGE To remain in any one place for thirty-two years is something worth taking notice of in these days when men are here today and gone tomorrow, but to be active and useful as well as successful is a record to be proud of. There are few men in this city who have had a more active life for the past thirty-two years than Rev. D. W. M. Alexander. Not only has he been active in his church life and work, but he has been a factor in the business and industrial world by encouraging the men in his church and in his section of the city to go into the business and industrial activities. Commencing thirty-two years ago in a little room in a small street, he has led his church through four successive stages to the beautiful house in which it now worships, and where perhaps it will spend the remainder of its days. Dr. Alexander was the originator and the first editor of the Afro-American, and, notwithstanding he has not had any part in its conduct for the past twenty years, he has always considered it as his child and spoken of it as such, and with much pride. And so we today congratulate the honored pastor for the splendid work he has done in the community and wish him yet many happy days of usefulness. A western newspaper commenting on the trip of the mother of the poet Paul Laurence Dunbary to the East recalls the fact that the Malinida of "When Malinda Sings" was his mother Matilda. Baltimoreans who were fortunate enough to hear Mrs. Dunbary speak can easily imagine that her full voice, rich even now, was worthy of the admiration the poet paid it in his verse. It is not surprising to hear that the charges of being a German spy, preferred against a legless young wireless operator of New York state, were proven groundless. RUTHLESSNESS Two years ago the then Turkish minister to this country pointed out that Turkish atrocities against the Armenians were very little different from outrages in the United States against the colored man. President Wilson asked for and obtained the recall of the Minister, but he could never recall the damage done by the truth that was uttered. Abdul Bey had no intention of insulting the president of the United States, but he did regard it as good common sense to look after the ruthlessness in America before going four thousand miles across the sea to protest against the pagan Turk's treatment of the Christian Armenian. Ruthlessness whether done by the or by the emperor. And this helps him to achieve his point. The United States is on the verge of war because it objects to Germany's policy of ruthlessness on the high seas. American rights are on the point of being violated, and the nation may have to call out all of its land and sea forces, expending millions and millions of dollars and perhaps lives if—an English ship is sunk without warning and an American life, maybete life of a poor Negro mule driver be lost. Paradox of paradoxes. During the past year one part of our population lynched according to some records eighty persons—hung them, or burned them. Without warning. Not one, but eighty. And the declaration of war by this country against Germany hangs on the question of a single life, whether white or colored. Loyal Americans have been watchfully waiting to hear of the Federal government calling out one little company to deal with mob violence in the South, or thrue the Department of Justice expend one thousand dollars to bring the lynchers to justice. Maybe the difference lies in who does the killing. One part of America may kill as many of another part as it cares to but a foreign nation may not kill a single American, even when this foreign nation is engaged in a life and death struggle that threatens its own existence. If Germany kills an American it will be because he is carrying aid to the Allies, which are doing their best to wipe Germany off the map. Why are Negroes killed in the South—for stealing a pig, for swearing in public, or wanting to vote. Some well thinking German-American societies have sent pledges of loyalty to President Wilson, and so have some other hyphenates, the Afro-Americans. However, the major portion of the thoufful colored people are going to answer these questions before they volunteer to fight Germany and Austria. "Why should I be shot in professing against ruthlessness on the European continent, when there is ruthlessness in my home town that I cannot protest too loudly against?" "Is the constitution of the United States also a "scripe of paper?" WHAT THE MIGRATION CONFERENCE MADE CLEAR The conference on Negro migration which was held recently in New York City under the auspices of the National League for the Improvement of Urban Conditions among Negroes brought together eminent social and business workers from the North and South, and the exchange of opinions made many things clear concerning the large movement of colored people northward. The conference was necessary not alone because of the problem raised already by many thousands who have left former homes to take up temporary or permanent residence in the North, but because it is confident expected that as soon as the warm weather sets in, a "spring drive" will begin, which will "assume all the hysteria of a religious revival among an ignorant people." These thousands must be cared for in the communities in the North to which they come. Many of the workers have left their families in the South, and congregated as they are with single men in a strange land, cut off from family and religious ties, are likely to prove a menace in any community. As one social worker put it, "we must learn that we cannot move people around in great numbers with no more preparation than a pay envelope." According to the New York Evening Post, Forrester Washington, of the Detroit, Michigan branch of the Urban League described his way of meeting the problem thus: "He emphasized the fact that the first week was the most critical for the Negroes who drifted into the Northern cities in search for work. They did not know the ropes, and they were easily exploited and ad hoc, so they aided at the start, he said. He then described the way in which his employment bureau was meeting the situation, getting in touch with the strangers through a weekly "new-comers" community dance," widely advertised through the Negro colony of the city. Follow-up work was done, and the settings at the factories, at which the colored employees from the South were told of the importance of punctuality and regularity, and of the other qualities exacted by Northern employers. He also emphasized the importance of improving and developing the housing conditions, urging the Negroes to collect colored detectives on the city police force to aid in the suppression and prevention of crime in the Negro districts." The migration of the workmen leaves a social problem too in the South. Many wives, sisters and mothers of the South found themselves suddenly without any means of support when the men left without taking time to provide for them. The editor of the Savannah Tribune reported that the Pennsylvania R. R. Company on three occasions backed into the station long trains of coaches and then sent criers thru the city announcing that all colored people who wanted to go North free would find a train pulling out right away. Some of these men have sent back for their families, others have sent back money to them, but there have been too any number who have done neither on of these two things. Mrs. Booker T. Washington is said to have written that the destination in the South that has met her personal observation has been greater this year than ever before. The comparison of the methods of the various firms in securing laborers from the South brought to light some interesting results. Methods like those of the Pennsylvania R. R. mentioned above got them twelve thousand and workmen, of whom only thirty-five hundred remained on the job. This appears to settle the question of the reliability of the colored workman at first notice, but two other firms reported that they had imported men after selecting them more carefully, telling them what would be expected of them, and bringing them Northward in small batches. Most of these men stuck and are still at work. The Conference also brought out the fact that there is no great humanitarian spirit behind the migration. The Northern firms finding themselves shortened got labor where they could. The colored laborer was glad to come, because wages were low in the South. This was the weightiest reason. Added to this, it was found that many colored men feared mob violence or were dissatisfied with the political and social inequalities in their homes. On the part of both laborer and employer the economic reason weighed most, and the social conditions resulting in the North and the South as the result were simply secondary considerations, by-products, and nothing more. With this in view, the Conference did well neither to encourage or condemn the migration of laborers. They resolved and rightly to accept the migration as a fact and to devote their energies to bettering the conditions that have resulted from it. The delay in opening the public schools, caused by the epidemic of infantile paralysis last fall, resulted in a number of pupils failing to be promoted last Friday. It is hoped that the public will be able to make up all deficiencies by June, however. AN: APPRECIATION 1133 Park Avenue, Baltimore, Md. February 7th, 1917. Mrs. Annie S.

"THE DRUM MAJOR" As a center of musical instruction and inspiration, Baltimore takes first rank among American cities. To a group of inspired workers much may he attributed for this fact. What Pache has done for the Oratorio Society, Melatem for his operatic classes, Strube for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and Musses, Toomey has done and is doing for us in matters of musical culture and appreciation. We are acquainted with his piano forte and vocal students, we have witnessed his concert presentations, and we know of his justly famous Troubadours. What promises to be all this and more—the result of mature judgment and rich experience—will be "The Drum Major" by a cast of former artists. If the future may be approximated in terms of the achievements of the past, the music lover will be pleased with the latest venture of our own Louis Elsworth Toomey. --- SPECIAL NOTICES Cupid! Cupid!

A WONDERFUL SERMON A WONDERFUL SERMON ON THE SCIENCE OF PALMISTRY Rev. James Gordon, of Washington, D. C., showing the life, character and its mysteries. 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 hobbit the sensitive, the artistic, the composite, and the long. The index to character is the hand. Infancy, maldenhood, 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 thum 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 incalculable. Authority is the result of the work of the hand. Sculpture abounds 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 Wound'd for us." THE ROUMANIAN PALMIST LEO S. OSMAN 1625 PENNSYLVANIA AVE. Next door to the Regent Theatre BALTIMORE, MD.

BY MARGARET BLACK Thank you Mr. Booster Knocks, neckwear and even frock trimmings, your criticism is timely. I only hope it isn't used exactly as it used to be, the ladies see your point of view and realize that it is not always the club that has the largest membership that accomplishes the most work. As you have so aptly illustrated, some of the largest charities and the greatest amount of good is being done by clubs and organizations composed of only a few earnest, self-sacring women. It can be used for chemise tops and night gown yokes. Two of those old choker" collars could be utilized HOUSE KEEPING Not long ago I read in a newspaper that a grandmother had died and left to each one of her granddaughters $1000 providing she learned to cook and serve a first class dinner without any help and one that would prove entirely satisfactory to the persons served. Wise, very wise was this grandmother; how many of our girls today can plan, cook and serve a first class meal for a party of six. How few of our girls are equipped with the proper knowledge for house-wives and others. They learn botany, physics, music, arts, science, everything but cooking and housekeeping. Many a penny is lost in many a family by not knowing how to make the most of things. Every woman be she rich or poor should study economical house keeping. We may have abundance and to should be wasted. Thousands who have plenty, suddenly lose all, and must come down to hard knocks that poor folks are constantly practicing. To my idea a knowledge of house keeping expenditures and an ability to be a better woman than a knowledge of music and fine arts. The honeyman will soon wane where the husband is treated to classical music when he wants a good tinner. Some one has said a man wants his rib to be with more than all the other bones in his body and is disappointed and disdusted when she does not turn out to be all his fancy has painted her. How many girls that are preparing for a life of wedded bliss know that one given teaspoon of prepared cocoa (taker's I use) with water and milk enough to give it the right appearance, will furnish two good cups of that delicious beverage, the often so much is put in that it settles to the bottom of the pot in which it is boiled and is wasted; or how many know that one half bushel of peaches allowing for waste will give you seven and one half quarts of canned peaches and the peeleds washed and put on to boil with 1/4 peck of apples with enough water to cover, cooked until done, poured in a colander and allowed to drain for fifteen minutes, will give you six pints of delicious peach butter, and the juice will make at the very least 6 one half pint glasses of jelly; nothing wasted but the seeds of the peaches and core of the apples. These may seem like small things to write of, but let us remember that it is of small things that great ones are composed, and that no detail of our business should be beneath us. It is thought and taste and skill and above all a self-sacrificive devotion on the part of the mother and house keeper that sets her family's comfort and happiness above her own. It is a labor of love, and would not be hard to endure, only it is so often so thanklessly received. SAVE YOUR IRISH CROCHET Have you heard the news? Irish crochet is coming back into favor for all sorts of things, lingerie, blouses, Washington, February 7. —Edward Savoy, confidential messenger to the Secretary of State, did not have the honor of handing the German ambassador his passports last Saturday. When the situation became tense last Saturday, newspaper men hanging around the State Department watched Mr. Savoy as they believed he would be delegated to hand the ambassador his passports, should President Wilson decide to sever diplomatic relations between this country and Germany. Another was given that task, however, and the newspaper men were outwitted for the time being. Mr. Savoy has the distinction of having delivered passports to three foreign ambassadors. The first was to Lord Sackville-West, the British representative, who became persona non grata for some alleged indiscreet remarks during the second Cleveland administration. The next was at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, when he handed the Spanish ambassador his papers and the third time came in April, 1911, when he went to the Spanish Embassy with the papers which meant that diplomatic relations between this country and Mexico had been severed. Mr. Savoy was sent to Paris at the time that the treaty between his country was signed, following the Spanish-American war. He probably knows more diplomatic secrets than any one man in the country, and has never been known to betray a confidence. As a reward for the faithful services that he has rendered since he entered the Department of State in 1869, President Wilson made him a clerk by executive order nearly three years ago. He was born in this city 61 years ago, and received his education in the public schools. He is a member of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. He lives at 2005 17th street northwest. LUTHERVILLE JOTTINGS Lutherville, Md., Feb. 8.—The revival services which are being conducted at the mission by Rev. Thompson of Baltimore, has been quite successful. Rev. Gunby, pastor. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Adams. of Germantown, Pa., visited his brother, Mr. Wm. Adams. Miss Winder, of Longgreen, visited her brother, Mr. John Winder, Sunday.

Mrs. Julia Chaney and Mrs. Slyveria Foote visited Mr. Harry Chaney Sunday at the City Hospital, Baltimore, where he is ill. A bill has been introduced into the Washington State Legislature to prohibit the intermarriage of Japanese and Negroes. A similar bill was defeated two years ago. neckwear and even frock trimmings. It isn't used exactly as it used to be, but anyone possessing one of those lovely large round Dutch collars, or a set of collar and cuffs into indeed fortunate, in that she can turn the collar and cuffs into something entirely different without cutting the lace. It can be used for chemise tops and night gown yokes. Two of those old time "choker" collars could be utilized to set in the back and the front of either gurment. If you do not possess such things as choker collars, watch the little lace shops which deal in such articles; you may be able to strike a bargain. A round collar can be set in as a round yoke in a night gown with cuffs to match as finishes for the short kimona sleeves. Sometimes cuffs can be used as shoulder straps on a chem-motif. On blouses the Irish lace collar can be used in bolen effect, for a vest revers, bib or little cottee depending entirely on the cut and shape. On frocks the uses of Irish lace is legion. On such fabrics as linens, organdles, and voiles for spring and summer wear Irish collars can be used to create deep panels and apron fronts, to edge upper collars, and in the same way as they are used on blouses. If you have some fine piece of this once-popular lace stored away, get it out and start to bleach it in the frost so that you will have it all fresh and ready to use when spring sewing starts in. A.

Rodgers Of uttermost importance is the understanding of the promise God made to Abraham, and to his seed. Every Christian is included in the promise "For if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs acceding to the promise." Galatians 2:29. So prone are we to think that all recorded in the old Testament deal solely with old Testament people in old Testament times, but in this we err. Stephen, that faithful witness of Christ, refers to the promise which God made to Abraham (Acts 7:2-5) and says that tho the promise was made, Abraham, at his death had not so much as set his foot upon the land promised to him. Old Canaan of Bible history was merely a typical land to which typical Israel journeyed. Abraham looked for a city, whose maker and builder was GOD. Hebrews II:8-10. Paul says in Acts 26:6-8 that it required the resurrection of the dead to fulfill the promise. And Peter, in 2 Peter 3:13, clearly stated that, according to HIS promise we look for a new heaven (atmospheric) and a new earth. In a nut shell, then, it the promise made to Abraham. Let us see more:—When God took Abraham up on a hill he made new then is really the promise. We say, "Blessed the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." The heavens, even the heavens are the LORD's, but the earth has he given to the children of men—Ps. 15:16. "The righteous shall be recompensed in the earth," Prov. 11:31, and John saw the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven Rev., 21:2-3—coming down no doubt to be the capital city of the new earth. Sin all destroyed, death removed, the first dominion restored (Micah 4:8) the world made again like in the days of Adam and Eve-Isa., 35:1-10, but instead of Adam being the recognized head its Abraham, as the Father of the faithful, with Jesus the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The question is asked, Will I never then be in heaven, O yes, and in a future study we will tell what the Bible says about our glorious stay in the kingdom of heaven. Advt.
