PUBLISHED EVERY SURDAY THE AFFAIR AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY SEPARATION IDEA NOW UNDESIRABLE Some Methodists Advocate That "Colored Brother Should Eliminate Himself IS IMPORTANT FACTOR Members E. F. JOHNSON While there are other momentous questions that may prevent the suggested union between the M. E. Church and the M. E. Church South, the so-called Negro question may still keep the two bodies apart that have been separated since 1844. There are a number of men in the Northern Methodist Church who advocate coalition, even if it means the elimination or the setting aside of the colored contingent of the M. E. Church into an autonomous body. Among these are Dr. John F. Goucher, of Earlimore, and Rev. Dr. Edgar Einkle. Not one colored man of light and influence among the colored membership in the M. E. Church is advocating separation, and there will be none, as the colored contingent must not take the initiative for such. The advocates of a re-uniting of the two denominations are urging that the colored brother should eliminate himself so that the whites could get together. The marvelous growth that the 250,000 colored members of the M. E. Church show, with $55,000,000 of church property largely accumulated through the effort of the race, have made many colored Methodists apprehensive of anything that would sever their relationship with a church that is world-embracing and apparently knows no race. Then, too, the colored membership has property rights in the M. E. Book Concern and other agencies of the denomination. The M. E. Church is the only one where colored people enjoy such a large measure of influence with brethren of other races, and as the world tendency now is for closer cooperation between various races, this makes the idea of separation all the more undesirable. There are many influential men in the M. E. Church who are opposed to any condition that would mean the elimination or the enforced segregation of the colored contingent. Among them is Bishop W. F. McDowell. BISHOP McDOWELLS STAND Bishop McDowell, in addressing a joint meeting of the M. E. ministerial meetings of Baltimore and Washington at Asbury Church. Washington, Monday, declared against any consolidation that would eliminate the colored membership. He said that slavery was not the only cause for the separation of the present two denominations in 1844, and asserted that because of social conditions there is discrimination and segregation of the Negro, that the church should not set its stamp of approval upon such and baptize them with a holy sanction. A resolution was adopted opposing the stand taken by Rev. Dr. Edgar Blake in a recent address at Boston, in which the latter suggested that the colored brethren should step aside if that would make for the union of the two denominations. Dr. Blake, in his Boston address, said that the Negro has made stupendous progress since emancipation. "but remarkable as this racial progress has been, and impressive as has been the individual leadership that has been produced. It is only fair to say that the Negro as a whole is a long way from racial maturity. He has far to go before full responsibilities can be placed upon him. The government gave him suffragette at the close of the war, but there are many friends of the Negro who believe that this was one of the greatest mistakes the government ever made in dealing with the Negro. Our church gave him full representation in the General Conference, but it is doubtful if it could do it now were it racing the same question again." He attacked the proposed idea of regional conferences for the suggested reunited denominations on the ground that a colored reginal conference with equal representation into the big General Conference would be repugnant to the South on account of the sharply defined race lines of that section. He declares that the Negro is a dependent race and for the sake of the getting together of the whites should ask for an autonomous church. The whites of both denominations, he declared, would rise up and call the Negro Blessed "to give him a sympathy and support he has never had." He declares that since 1904 that there has been a decline in sentiment the election of a full-fledged colored man to the M. Church and that "if union should now fall because of the presence of the colored mem- borship, it would mean a serious blow to their interests of the Methodist Episcopal Church. I do not see how any one who has a due regard for the future of the Negro can survey such a possibility without the most serious interest of "our Negro members have their rights, it is true, and they will never be taken away from them. But, after all, are personal rights greater than the interests of a race? Has not the Kingdom of Jesus Christ rights also? What would it mean to Christianity and one of the two colored men representing the Northern Church on the joint commission on unification, sharply dissents from Dr. Blake's views in an article by his new book? Taking Dr. Blake's contention that: After all, are not personal rights greater than the interests of a race? Has not the Kingdom of Christ rights also? Dr. Jones writes: "This query is something of a bishopship of the Kingdom of Christ. Is the Kingdom of Christ to be 'jelly white'? Are we to write all over the kingdom, 'for whites only'? If this propaganda succeeds we ought to label, and then we somehow think our Christ would hurry up his second coming to drive into shame those who disinterpreting both His spirit and His Word." Dr. Jones further attacks the proposals made by Dr. Blake, showing that the colored conferences raise more money for general church expenses than do the foreign ones, declares that New Orleans is the nationation and points to Dr. Blake's promise that the race will get more funds from the whites if they separate as not likely, judging by the history of the M. E. Church South with the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. There are two kinds of religion which is given with the hope of developing those we seek to help in the largest possible way, the other is a species of bribery or slavery that develops weaklings and often reminds the beneficiary that you wear our collar and, therefore, must do as you should with the Negro still in the church. He writes, "They should there be a 'Negro problem any more than an 'African' a 'Chinese,' a 'Mexican,' or an 'Indian' problem? Is it because the Negro was once a slave? Then what race would be exempt? Certainly not the race, of which race was Christ Himself? Is it because the Negro was once a slave? Then what race would be exempt? Certainly not the race, of which race was Christ Himself? Is it because the Negro was once a slave? Then our forfathers, including 'Honest Abe' Lincoln and 'Old Hickory' Jackson, must be left out of our fellowship. Is it because the Negro is black? Then Simon, the Negro Cyrianen who bore the cross of the Christian God, who bore the Ethiopian God, who orders the Church 'joined himself to' and baptized, would have been 'problems' likewise." "While from the first," he continues, "we (the H. M. E. Church South) have only given our colored members a pittance of help, the Methodist Episcopal Church has all the way through nurtured theirs with the whole of its resources for the work of deisting. And now in "uniting American Methodism would not setting apart these colored Methodists, against their will and protest, in a sense make another division, and so be an unthought of procedure? "We decide, therefore, that if putting all Negro members into the same relation as those of the Methodist Church is to those at present is found to be the best thing to do in uniting American Methodism, we can see no reasonable objection to so doing, and we are ready for union on such a basis." A special committee will meet in Cincinnati in April to discuss the status of the Negro in the proposed coalition. A special doctor that Dr. I. Garland Penn, the other colored member of the joint commission, shares the views of Dr. Jones regarding what should be the status of the race in any union. CAPTAIN OLIVER BERIED Capt. Isidor D. Oliver, for many years active in local politics, died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs Hattie Dennis, 151 W. 132nd street, New York, Saturday, February 10th. Captain Oliver was born in this City in 1843 and during the Civil War served in one of the Maryland regiments. Following the Civil War, he took up residence in this city. He became active in local politics over 40 years ago. He was a leader in the New Judge Movement in 1852. Following that election, the late Judge Duffy, father of the present Judge, decided to appoint a barber named Addison as his bailiff. Mr. Oliver, along with Isaac Myers, Causan Gainan, Dr. H. J. Brown, Jacob Seaton and others protested, and succeeded in having the late William T. Taylor named for the late. In those days colored men wielded considerable influence in Maryland Republican politics, and were always consulted when an important move was to be made. Captain Oliver held at one time a position in the local custom service, was an appointee during the term of Mayor Malster and later held a position in the Patent Office. Washington for almost fifteen years, retiring about two years ago. He headed the Order of Good Samaritans some years ago and was also a member of the Masonic fraternity. Several children are among the surviving relatives. He was also for a number of years R. in the palace of Lyrids, Flying Park. Funeral services were held at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Hattle Oliver Dyson. Tuesday, February 13, conducted by Father Thomas O. Keefe. Interment at Cypress Hill Cemetery. CIVIC LEAGUE'S ANNUAL LUNGHEON The work that the colored women of the city are doing along social and civic uplift lines, the evils of the segregation law and the housing question among the colored people were discussed at the fourth annual luncheon and conference of the Women's Co-operative Civic League, held at St. Mary's Hall last Saturday afternoon. The meeting was attended by a larger number of workers for civic and social uplift, among whom were a number of well known white people. The first half of the afternoon was given to the luncheon, with Mrs. Mason A. Hawkins presiding. After the menu was disposed of, Mrs. Addie Wathes Leiten, of Brooklyn, N. Y., told of the many ways in which colored women could work for urban uplift. Greetings from the Women's Civic League were brought by Miss Elizabeth Gilman and Mrs. Francis M. Jencks. The conference began at 2.30 P. M. with the president, Mrs. Sarah C. Fernandis, presiding Mrs. Fernandis presented her annual report as president, detailing the various activities of the league. The high cost of living, methods for running the home and vocational training were the addresses of by Mrs. B. W. Corkran, Mrs. J. J. Abel, Miss Emma Dorsette, instructor of domestic science in the Colored High School; Miss Nannie E. Grooms, principal of School No. 107, and others. Mrs. Abel told of the beneficent results of introducing vocational training in the colored schools of Augusta, Ga., and Miss Grooms urged vocational training for the masses of public school children. Mrs. Harris Burrett, superintendent of the Industrial Home School for Girls at Peakes, Va., said that every effort was being made there to make delinquent girls self-respecting and useful members of society. Many girls, she said, are delinquents because of the lack of interest of mothers and the absence of home-like conditions. She praised the spirit of co-operation among Virginia white and colored people interested in the work of the Home. W. Anthony Aery, publicity agent of Hampton Institute, told of the far-reaching work of the Hampton and Tuskegee Conferences and praised the work that the Negro Organization Society is doing in Virginia. BETTER HOUSING NEEDED In a brief address, Rev. George A. Griffith made a plea for better housing among colored people. He was followed by Gen. Lawson Riggs, president of Police Board, who told of efforts being made to bring about a general improvement of housing conditions here. The matter of housing here was a community and not a racial problem, he said. A group of white people were interested in plans to provide good homes in desirable neighborhoods to colored people at moderate rentals, he asserted. Speaking of this project, he said that the whites interested would act with due regard to conserving the self respect of the colored people. Dr. Thomas S. Hawkins attacked the alley houses, traced the movement among colored people to occupy better homes and declared that the local residence segregation law caused overcrowding and was a menace to health and to morals. He declared that the colored people were "bottled up" and had been made to pay higher rents because of segregation. The welfare of Baltimore, he asserted, demanded the repeal of the law. Mrs. Hriletta Baker Low spoke of music as an aid to uplift and Mrs. A. Azalia Hackley made a plea for community interest in music. Resolutions were adopted praising certain prominent whites for their interest and efforts to secure better housing conditions for colored people. The Women's Civic League for its sympathetic help and the city for the completion of the Paul Laurence Dunbar School. The following conditions were criticised: 1. The West Segergation Ordinance which has been aptly compared to an iron ring, inexorably restricting one sixth of the citys population from natural expansion. 2. The unsatisfactory physical conditions of public school buildings provided for our colored youth against which their adolescent needs utter a strong appeal, especially the Colored youth, in a discouraging aspect in contrast with the handsome high school buildings provided for the white youth of the 3. "The lack of provision for the care and training of the delinquent and feeble-minded colored children. 4. "The lack of sanitaria for the treatment of colored tubercular patients. 5. "The general overcrowded and unsanitary conditions with the resultant unchecked system of usurious rentals. 6. "The closed avenues barring economic progress." "FATE WORKS FOR THE NEGRO" Boston, Mass., February 22—Albert E. Pillbury, who was unable to attend the Frederick Douglass centennial exercises, sent a letter, in which he asserted that the rest of the country is beginning to pay the penalty for allowing the South to disfranchise its colored voters. "Pate is at work, even for the Negro," the letter said. "His abandonment by the people of the North is not going unpunished. The country has often been warned that it could not suffer one-tenth of its citizens to be defrauded of their political rights without paying the penalty. "We are beginning to pay that penalty. The disenfranchisement of the Negro has put the South into political control of the government, a control now to be continued for at least four years and perhaps indefinitely. "The present South-side administration is not only unit to govern this great country, not only too ignorant and too narrow to govern it, but it has been and will continue to be a deliberate and systematic looting of the fat Northern States by every form of taxation which the ingenuity of the lean and hungry South can devise—taxes to be paid by us; sweat by them. "It is the first opportunity they have ever had to get back at us for Appointox. They are making the most of it and every dollar of the plunder, to say nothing of the abject surrender to them of one-half our power in the federal government, is part of the price we are paying and must continue to pay for the disenfranchisement of the Negro until the great wrong is undone." SOCIAL CONFERENCE AT HOWARD Washington, Feb. 22—Social workers from all sections and of both races gather in Washington next week, March 5, 2nd and 3rd in Washington, the founding of Howard University by General Oliver O.

MOORE RETURNS FROM SOUTH New York, February 22—Fred R. Moore, who recently returned from a Southern trip, declared in last week's New York Age that the colored people there are "in an unusual state of unrest and openly expressing dissatisfaction over disagreeable conditions. The revolt against oppression is manifest everywhere, and is not confined to any particular State in the South." After asserting that the migration of colored men is of more importance, seemingly, to whites of the South than the European war, he asserts that some misguided colored men try to stop this migration and scores the North for its indifference regarding the colored people. He asserts that no colored man should come North, however, unless sure of a job, and describes prejudicial conditions that have caused the unrest among Southern colored people.

PRESTON ISSUES CALL To Discuss Plans To Relieve Conditions Caused By The Offensive Measure The baleful effects of Baltimore's residence segregation law upon the colored population is now becoming apparent to many influential whites, and efforts are now being made to relieve the congestion of colored residential sections. This was strongly indicated by the conference held at the office of Mayor Preston on Friday afternoon of this week, at which housing conditions among colored people were discussed. The Mayor invited a large number of prominent men and women to meet, but the published list did not contain the name of one colored man or woman. It was urged that the segregation law had resulted in overcrowding and that the public health was menaced thereby. Mayor Preston himself is an upholder of the present segregation law, and his plans for relieving the situation among colored people contemplated a number of wealthy whites building homes for colored people and renting them for moderate sums. While it is true that Mayor Preston and his administration are believers in the continuance of the segregation law, they are said to be of the opinion that the colored people need more territory for expansion. Of course, this is not regarded as harmonizing with the recent published assertion of Mayor Preston that that Colored Y. M. C. A. should not locate its new building at the corner of Dolphin and McCulloch streets, because the latter street is occupied by whites, and the colored people should seek a site wholly within their residence districts. With no disposition on the part of the present municipal administration to abrogate the local segregation law, it seems paradoxical to many that the same administration is clamoring so vociferously for the extension of the city limits of Baltimore. SEGREGATION IS EXPENSIVE--- That the segregation law, ostensibly enacted to prevent the alleged depreciation of property occupied by whites and near which colored people moved, has been hurdensome to the Negro is admitted by many. Rents have soared and exorbitant figures are asked from those who would buy in the clumsy-scribed area, while in the better residential districts it is almost impossible to secure a house. The land and property around Baltimore is practically controlled by the whites and the segregation law makes it hard for the colored people to open up new territories. In some sections of the city whole neighborhoods are being allowed to go down because of their well-to-do white residents moving to the suburbs and the segregation law prevents colored people from moving into these blocks. This is especially true of many blocks in West and Northwest Baltimore. Prominent men and women of the race have long since realized what the added burdens of the segregation law meant to the race, and have stood aghast at the fact that a city of boasted metropolitan size and ideas should have any law that would limit expansion, hygienic living and thrift among a constantly-increasing element of its population. With practically all of the available land in the city limits pre-empted, it is almost inconceivable to think of any plan for expansion of the residence areas allotted Baltimore's cramped colored population of 30,000, unless the segregation law is abrogated. ODD FELLOWS SEEK HOME New York, February 22.—The New York Grand-Lodge of Odd Fellows has secured an option on a piece of property on 135th street, on which a headquarters' building will be erected. "DRUM MAJOR" PLEASES "The Drum Major" given by some of the former and present pupils of Prof. Lewis E. Toomey, last Friday evening was an artistic as well as a financial success.

Some one else has said "Never run after trouble, for sooner or later it will get you anaway. Notwithstanding all this going a plan is essential to get himself in trouble but to get some one else in trouble also. If we mistake not, the first week in May will be "Baby Week." We have a large number of good-looking if not pretty babies in this city, and so we are going to ask the ladies of this city, to undertake to find out just who has the prettiest, the fastest and the best all around baby in Beverly Hills to offer severe prizes in order to find out all of them. One thing we do know, and that is, there are no nugly babies in this city, but there are some who are just a little—well we had better stop right there or trouble might come before it is time, and that might stop the whole business. We are going to ask the following ladies, representing the several sections to the city, to meet at the Afro-American office, Ediorial Department in the near future to Foster, West Baltimore; Mrs. Harriet Hillurd, Bastal Baltimore; Mrs. Jennie Mills, South Baltimore; Mrs. S.

The request will be compiled with and the public advised. Mr. John W. Rich, president of the Board, in speaking of the professional management of the Hospital said that "Dr. Brown had really rejuvenated Provident Hospital and if his good work keeps up the Board will soon have to start another campaign for new back building. "JIM CROW" BILL Jefferson City, Mo., February 22 Representative F. M. Norman has in introduced into the State Legislature bill providing for "Jim Crow" accommodations on railroads.

On the relation of prohibition to lynching, it remained for a Philadelphia paper to discover that 44 of the 54 lynchings took place in prohibition states or in prohibition territory of wet states, and that the only Northern not prevent mob-murder any more concludes "prohibition, at least does not prevent mob-murder and more than it prevents mob confiscation of property by ballot." One of the newest wrinkles to keep the colored people in the South comes from Wilcox county, Alabama. It is stated that the judge of Wilcox reports 1500 dogs on the tax list, all of them the property of 1500 Negroes. Knowing that many of the owners would be unable to pay, and that forcible attempts to collect would drive them from the community, the dog tax in Wilcox county has been canceled. Of the 27,000 people in this county but 2,000 are white. Maryland has not escaped the ravages of the Northward emigration. Talbot county residents to the number of 150 have left in the last few months to take up work elsewhere at more attractive wages.

The chief difference, after all, appears to lie in the fact that an editor always makes the mistake, but a doctor never. The weekly paper of Paul Quinn A. M. E. College is up against a suit for $50,000 damages for the stories it printed concerning the "Waco Horror." The patient of a very well-known Chicago physician died under a trivial operation last week, and the cause assigned was "heart failure." THRAS LEAGUE AGAIN The National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes is promoting in New York this week what it calls an "illness census." Four hundred trained nurses under competent direction made a house to house canvass to find out the cause of the recent pneumonia and grippe cases reported by physician. Quoting a New York dispatch, the census is being made for the purpose of ascertaining the number of people of all ages, sick in the two districts, Harlem and Columbus Hill, and the causes therefore as far as ascertainable; whether a physician, family remedy, advice of a friend, a drug store formula, a patient medicine, or a time cure is used as treatment, and whether in the case of babies, the infants are breast fed, bottle fed, or both. The aim of the League in this movement is clear. They noted the current reports of physicians, as to the state of the public health, remarked that epidemic of the usual winter ailments, in gripe and pneumonia, and came to the conclusion that the fact and cases in the case could only be determined by a census. The League did not stop there. It could not make this census itself, but by interest, cut the dose of Health in the matter, got given it, do it under the League's State Le. Chris re-electing the figures of the U. S. Press. the death rate in Ne w York. TIC 10 was 5 per cent lower than den in more or Annapolis, 4 per cent in Richmond, Virginia, 9 per cent than in Savannah, Georgia. and 7 per cent lower than in New Orleans, Louisiana. Since that time, the death rate in New York City has been on the decrease, and this is due largely to the investigations that the Urban League has promoted and carried out. Here are some of them: "A study of Negro Employees of Apartment Houses in New York city." "A History of Organized Social Agencies among Negroes in New York city." "Industrial Opportunities for Negro Women in New York City." "Social Causes Underlying High Infant Mortality among Colored Babies." Baltimore needs the Urban League, and the sooner the better. If New York with a lower death rate can afford to investigate its health conditions with the view to making them better, what ought the people of this city to do? The Urban League is spreading its branches throughout the South and it will come to Baltimore if it is sufficiently urged. NO. THANK YOU. DR. SPINGARN Friends of Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, who know of his square stand for the liberties of the people in America thus his association with Dr. W. E. B. Du Dois on the editorial staff of the Crisis, were astonished and shocked by his open letter of February 15th, wherein he advocated a "Military Training Camp for Colored Men." The letter states that "It is of the highest importance that the educated colored men of this country should be given opportunities for leadership. You must cease to remain in the background in every field of national activity, and must come forward to assume your right places as leaders of American life. All of you cannot be leaders, but those of you who have the capacity for leadership must be given an opportunity to test and display it." With all this we heartily agree. From Crispus Attucks to Sergeant Bigstaff of Carrizal fame, the colored man has been a good enough fighter, but only when he has been lead by white officers. Colored officers, with the exception of Major Young and one or two others have found it impossible to get appointments to West Point or Annapolis, and in consequence have risen from the ranks thru sheer ability rather than thru scientific military training. Mr. Spingar's letter continues: "There is now just such an opportunity possible for you, in case of war, to become leaders and officers instead of followers and privates. Major General Leonard Wood, of the U. S. Army, commanding the Department of the East, has promised that if two hundred of you apply for admission, he will organize and maintain a military training camp for colored men, with just the sort of training to fit you to serve as officers of volunteers in case of war." Mr. Spingarn says the project in point language a "Military Training Camp for Colored Men." In ordinary terms he is advocating an annex for the big white training camp at Plattsburg, N. Y. The Federal Government has let it be understood that "cannon fodder" white and black cannot receive the same instruction in the same summer camp, and this lead Mr. Spingarn to suggest to General Wood a special and distinct Jim Crow camp for colored men. As if to apologize for his advocacy, the letter has this word: "I do not believe that colored men should be separated from other Americans in any field of life; but the crisis is too near at hand to discuss principles and opinions, and it seems to me that there is only one thing for you to do at this juncture, and that is to get the training that will fit you to be officers, however and wherever you are, and to be obtained. If two hundred of you do not send applications immediately, the opportunity may be lost forever." Were the crisis too near at hand to discuss principles and opinions, why not open Plattsburg to all Americans without regard to color. If the United States wants the brains and the brawn of the educated colored man why not open West Point and Annapolis to him. If this government cannot discuss principles and opinions so far as they relate to common justice to the Negro when there is no crisis, perhaps a crisis is the best time to get a hearing. It was only when the enemy was at the throat of England that the Irish could get a hearing on self-government. Perhaps, too, German submarines will block American harbors before United States will give one-tenth of its population a chance to fight without being segregated. There are many colored educated men who would like to attend the summer camps for the discipline and the contacts they afford. But to go to a jim crow Plattsburg in order to learn how to lead jim crow regiments is too much. 'No, thank you' Mr. Spingarn. Separate cars, separate schools, separate residential sections colored people have been forced to accept by law. Just now it is in our own power to elect whether or not we will fight for United States, and let us repeat Mr. Spingarn. 'No thank you.' For three hundred and fifty years the white man has been advising the Negro as to "what were best to be done." His present condition is due to the fact that up to the time of Frederick Douglass the advice was always blindly followed. "The one thing" for all of the colored people not to do is to volunteer. If opinions and principles cannot be discussed now, it is we who can wait until they can be. Africans Fight Well is the headline of a news dispatch telling of the behavior of the 700,000 natives in the French army. Do not suffer from climate, and face the greatest dangers unfinchingly, the articles continues. And there are fools, who maintain that the offspring of those Africans in America have got to join the United States army to prove their bravery. THE FORUM Mr. Lee Tells Who Inspired Him Editor of the Afro-American, Dear Sir: Kindly allow me space in your valuable paper that I may refute a statement made in an unsigned article in a paper called "The Commonweal." The Commonswale IT will tell that I have never nor will I now court newspaper notoriety, but in justice to you, Mr. Editor, to others and myself, I am compelled to take notice of these false accusations or statements made "When you received the suspension order of Nov. 1st (from J. P. Evans) what did you do?" Answer: "I showed it to Past Grand Master Samuel E. Young and Pass Master J. H. Murphy, one of the oldest and most influential members of the Enterprise Lodge, who was my adviser. Master." That was all that was said about J. H. Murphy. Again I desire to state with all the emphasis and forcet I can call that Mr. Murphy, has never advised or inspired me in any way or manner to go into Court with the Masonic fraternity. He like many other of my friends has had that aid that Mr. Charles R. Smith was given that of influencing me to go into Court also aiding me by bringing the lodge books in Court. This was untrue. All the aid that Mr. Smith gave me was in his official capacity as Secretary of Enterprise Lodge by an order of the Court. The Lodge books were never brought in Court by Charles Smith. We had no use for them. But when we are needed they were brought in Court. We are not required to bring them, and I have not heard of charges being preferred against the gentleman who brought them. For the benefit of the writer of that unsigned article and others interested, I will tell you who inspired me to go into Court for protection. Mr. W. J. Hawkins, the attorney for the Grand Lodge of the Masons, inspired me. It happened this way. I had a case very much like this one of the Masons a few years ago. I was directed to Mr. Hawkins by his then friend, J. H. Murphy. After ex-commissioning the Masons, the after he said was "No, they cannot do that in this State you have property rights there." He then explained where members paid dues and received sick or death benefits they had property rights and could not be thrown out at the matter then advised me to leave the matter him. To his credit all came out well. When the Masonic case came up I went to see him. He was not at his office, so believing as I do that all of the brains of the world is not centenary one man, I employed Mr. McGunnel and Mr. Commission. He with others have clearly shown that they have a goodly portion of this world's brains. 1722 Division street. Swoorn to and subscribed before me this 21st day of February, 1917. JOHN WOYD. Notary, Public MORE ABOUT QUEEN'S RALLIES In answer to dear Sister, as to queens' rallies, public affairs etc. in church, I heartily endorse everything you said in last week's issue (Feb. 17, 1917). I myself, am one who is to try to serve and follow the Lord to the best of my knowledge, also in an bumble way through and by the way, and that has been placed in my charge. I have protested openly in our board as to having such things in church by without much success as yet. I think because the people have not much meetings where so few attend but when a public affair is said the attendance is large. I think when we as Christians say we will trust the Lord who has never lost a battle, we take worldly things in church with us. We are in the wrong path ourselves. We are also leading the world wrong which in time must fail because God has declared that His house shall be the house of preacher as He demonstrated in St. Mark XI Chapter 15th, 15th and which ought to be sufficient to convince us just how God wants His house conducted. Yours most respectfully Queens' Rallies and Public Affairs in Churches Are Wrong? Dean Christian Friend: Dear Christina, After reading your article in the last issue of our paper and being a member of one of our churches for sixteen years, having superintendent of the school for five years, steward for the years and am now thirty-two years of age; I think our churches have gotten away from the landmarks. Some of our pastors are preaching money any rate and endorse anything in brought in the church to money, the "walking the dog or anything. Now, our pastor spoke against these things, for we find in John the 2nd chapter, 23th verse that the Jews did some thing in the Temple at Jerusalem. But they had a little regard for the Temple, for they were in the outer court. But when our Savior came in the Temple He drove them out and overthrew the table of them together. I have heard some of our priests saythey cannot get sinners screed in the church. What? The trouble! The members can defile the church without the preacher's consent. Some Grove and do not want their church to give any outing miles away and yet in queen's rallies, they play songs and dance—the leader and the members while the pastor stands and holds their coats. Now, our Lord did not give His Son for this, but gave His Son that whosoever believes or Hits should have everlasting life. There are some preachers who have not defiled the church but are lifting up as the sinner's friend. "My house shall be called a house of prayer." Matt. 21st chapter 13th verse. Yes it is wrong—all wrong. I was at one of our larger churches to a Queen's Rally on February 12, and at eight-thirty you could not get standing room. Now some of our preachers cannot get members enough to open a service on Sunday until twelve o'clock, while prayer meetings are of the past and class meetings are fast passing away. But when these churches give queens' rallies and other affairs their churches become too small they are compelled to neighborly church. It is wrong because God says it is wrong. We want some preacher who loves the Lord and loves his people to tell what he thinks about it in the next issue of the paper. Yours respectfully W. E. F. AND NOW WHAT? Editor of the Afro-American: About fifteen years ago in a communication to you, I stated that the three best known Baltimoreans among strangers were Dr. Osler, Harry Lehr and the late Joseph Gans. The editor appointed in an article in the Evening Sun of Monday, Henry Mencken, the Free Lance, writing from Norway, says the three best known Baltimoreans among strangers are Cardinal Gibbons, Dr. Osler and the late Joseph Gans, although the-latter has been dead nearly seven years, and Dr. Osler has been from Baltimore nearly two decades.

BOX PARTY ENTERTAINED After the performance last Friday night at Albaugh's Theatre, entitled "The Drum Major." Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Blake, of 577 Lanyau street, served "party with a midnight luncheon" by the Jolie Giles, Annie Boon, Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Young and Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Blake. The "ponies" played a trick on the "deposters" at Bethel hall last Saturday night when they "broke" at the turn, and lost out in the "stretch." Dunbar A. A. and St. Mary's were the "also runs," and the-winners. were the High School A team and Morgan College. In the first "Race" Dunbar was pitted against High School A team. They ran neck and neck almost to the end of the first half when High School forged ahead by a nose, the half ending 7-5 favor High School. In the second half, High School completely out-clasped Dunbar playing the game with machine-like precision, while the Dunbar could not show any interest at guarding the basket, the baskets, and Taylor played a sterling game at forward while Gees's jumping at center was marvelous. Lyles guarded with unusual trepidity. Ulless Dunbar shows a complete reversal of form in the next game her championship hopes have gone a glimmering. The final score 23-9 shows how completely the High School outplayed their opponents in the second race, Morgan College ran away from St. Mary's after running an even race for the first period. In the second session St. Mary's never had a look in; Morgan's guards were continually on the necks of the St. Mary's forwards, and after they got the ball, Hayes, the invincible, and Rice, the infallible, were as clay in the hands of the potter with Rusk and Hodges, while Lane accepted 13 out of 16 chances at free baskets, and besides scored several field goals. Williams also played an all-around game with Rusk, going where time, seemingly. Final score Morgan 24. St. Mary's 16.

Joss Hampton, Va.—Howard University's basketball team suffered defeat at the hands of the speedy Hampton Institute quint, in the latter's gymnasium, on February 17. The gymnasium was crowded to its full capacity by the enthusiastic sympathizers of both teams. Although Howard was defeated by a large score, the game was interesting and the clean sportsman-like spirit that was exhibited by both teams was superior to anything seen on the Hampton court this season. The game seemed to have been in the Virginians' favor. With Edwards in forward and Dorsey in guard, it seemed almost impossible for Howard to keep the ball in their zone. Time and again the Capital City lads brought the ball from one end of the court to the other, but their lack of ability to cage it was a great handicap. Hampton showed a great deal of improvement in team work and goal shooting over their last game. With such sensational shots as were made by Edwards, Gurnoe and Dorsey, things look very favorable for a victory Christopher on Washington's Birthday. During the first half the Sensiders held the Collegians to two field goals and three foul goals. Hampton was able to cage six field goals and two foul goals during this half, hence the half ended 14 to 7. At the beginning of the second half, Cox Williams sent Dorsey to center and substituted both guards and a forward. Hampton brought forth her talent energy and caused Howard to wonder where the ball was many times during this half. Edwards and Gurnoe caged the ball at will, while Dorsey took pleasure in out-jumping the crowd and batting them into the basket to Howard's amazement. The three guards were quicksters for Howard. The clever shots by Wiseman were comparable. The entire half was in Hampton's favor. Howard was unable to oversee the input lead that the Sesame machine gained during the early part of the game. Substitutes: Hampton—McLaren, Pierson and Hogans. Referee: M. P. Robinson. Time of halves: 26 minutes. *Field goals*: Hampton—Edwards 6, Gurnoe 4, McLaren 1, Dorsy 3, Paxton 1, Howard—Wiseman 2, Williams 1. *Foul goals*: Edwards 5, Miles 4, Morgan 1. ART CLUB ENTERTAINED The Mid-Week Art Club was entertained on Wednesday night last by the president, Mrs. M. E. Roberson, her residence, 1716 Carlie Place. Business of much importance to the club was discussed while the ladies devoted themselves to their, needlework which the guessers were ushered into the room when most elaborate menus were served. The club was only formed a few weeks ago and is already meeting with great success. They hope in the near future to help in some of the charitable institutions of the race in the city. Towson's Express Stockholders Meet The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Towson Express and Transfer Company, was held at the home of the senior member of the firm, George W. Towson, 615 George street on Saturday night last. The secretary, William H. Thompson, reported the books of the company to in excellent condition, showing a large amount of expenses of $1200.00, George W. Towson gave a brief review of the work of the company since 1967. He told of his start with a one horse team and of his early struggles during the days when he was the whole company and of his later organizing the firm of which he is no wife president, with its ten teams and of the extra teams it becomes necessary to week in order to handle the business, which is leading stores of the city. Appropriate memory of Charles H. Towson, recently deceased, who was a large stockholder in the firm. Roy S. Bond was elected attorney for the company and made an address in which he paid a high tribute to its organizer and lauded the work of what he termed "one of Baltimore's foremost enterprises."

GAVE BRILLIANT RECITAL Music lovers were out in force at Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday evening last at the great organ recital given by Miss Asenath V. Lawson, organist of the Madison Street Presbyterian Church. That they were well repaid was evidenced by the very gratitude given by philippe given by audition. While Miss Lawson played each number with an almost faultless technique and abundant enthusiasm, her art reached its highest point perhaps in the playing of Pleyle's Andante Con Graziation. Miss Lawson was ably assisted by Mrs. Ruth Lee McAbee, a soprano of a remarkably rich voice, whose singing was well-defined in feeling and an intelligence of interpretation that are extremely rare. Dr. Wm. H. Carroll, the violinist, played in his usual good form. THE SERMON [Image of a person with a scarf and a hat, possibly indicating a cold environment].

Many incidents in the life of Frederick Donglass have been recalled, spoken of and published during the month of February, which marks the one hundredth anniversary of the great anti-slavery orator's birth. In this connection Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the noted dramatic reader, relates some interesting recollections of this early leader of our race. Miss Davis says: "Mr. Douglas had been invited to come to Entiimore to dedicate a building that had been purchased by a number of colored men who had associated themselves together in a joint stock company. It was a commodious brick edifice located on Lexington street be- THE LADY OF THE ROOM sween North and Calvert streets. The building had once, been used as a hospital by white people, and the first floor was reached by broad granite steps. Entertained by Miss Davis' Parents. "Mr. Douglass accepted the invitation and was the guest of my parents while in the city. "I was quite a child, possibly four years old. But I shall never forget the first impression made upon me by this very great man. His tall figure: his massive head, the luxurious gray hair with which it was crowned, his handsome, kindly face, with the humorous twinkle in his bright, intelligent eyes, all appealed to me as no stranger had ever appealed to me. Our house had always been open to the great men and women of our race. "The hospitality of Captain George A. Huckett and his amiable wife was also known throughout the length and breadth of the land. They had not only entertained the great people of our race—Henry Highland Garnett, Peter H. Clark, Stephen Smith of Philadelphia, Madam Greenfield (The Black Swan), Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, William Howard Day and many others—but their house had been the rendezvous for the humble runaway slave. Many had come in the night and been hidden through the day until they could be sent to Philadelphia, the next station of the 'underground railroad,' there to be taken in charge by William Still and other agents, sent on to New York and from there to Canada and freedom. Childhood Impressions of Douglass. "When Mr. Douglass lifted me from the floor and said, 'Well, little one,' and held me high above his head and I looked down into those merry eyes I forgot all awe of him, and from that day we became fast friends. He always spoke of me thereafter as 'Little One,' seldom calling my name. The dedication of Douglass institute was a grand success. I can only remember the vast crowd of eager, upturned faces of my people, the melodious voice of Mr. Douglass, matchless in its oratory flexibility. At night the outside as well as the inside was brilliantly illuminated. "Some years elapsed and many changes had taken place when I again saw Mr. Douglass. My mother had become a widow, and we had moved to Washington, she having been given a position in the bureau of engraving and printing, which was then housed in the treasury department. Mr. Douglass was a frequent visitor at our house, and I spent much time at his house on A street, N. E., and at Cedar Hill, Anacostin. Mrs. Douglass, Mr. Douglass' first wife, and I became fast friends. I admired her thrifty, housewifely habits. I liked to hear her voice when she addressed Mr. Douglass, calling him 'Father.' Romps With Grandchildren at Home. "There were beautiful, heart deeptones that were never used when addressing any one else. Mr. Douglass was especially fond of children, and to see him romping and playing with his grandchildren, in which I would sometimes take part, is something I shall ever remember. But what gave me most pleasure would be the evening time, when the family would be gathered in the drawing room and Mr. Douglass would take up his violin and play the sweet Scotch airs of 'Bonnie Mary of Argyle.' 'Within a Mile of Edinboro' 'Town.' 'Annie Laurie.' 'Put on Your Bonnets of Blue, Laddies.' etc. He would tell us of the good, warm hearted Scotch people and how they paid for his freedom. For their goodness to Mr. Douglass I have always felt a special regard for the Scotch people. How often I have heard Mr. Douglass quote these familiar lines, and as I would look upon his 'fancy locks' as he would shake his loupe head he would seem to be the embodiment of the poet's thought: Dwells in white and black the same. "Sometimes between his selections on the violin he would tell us of Ole Bull, the great violinist, with whom he was intimately acquainted, and of Jenny Lind, and Alexandre Dumas, and Ira Abbridge, all of whom were his personal friends. Those were rare, good evenings for a child to be privileged to enjoy. Losses Wife at Cedar Hill, Washington "When death invaded that happy home at Cedar Hill and took that dear, faithful wife, who had stood by his side through all the years from his young manhood until monarchs and presidents had delighted to honor him; she who had cheered and comforted him, encouraged him when he needed encouragement; who by her thrift and economy had enabled him to save a considerable competence; who had lived to see their children grow up and marry and their grandchildren to enter their early treas, it seemed that the prop and mainstay of the homestead had gone, and as I followed her dear remains to Graceland cemetery, even though a child, I felt my loss deeply and grieved sincerely. "I fear that coming generations will not be able to know her true worth. Because of her modest, retiring disposition and the complete merging of her individuality into that of her husband the unblemished superiority of her sterling virtues will not be recorded. "Although I still visited Cedar Hill, it never seemed quite the same. The magnolia tree that stands by the south window of the library, although it bloomed annually, never seemed as beautiful as it was before her death. High School Girls In Two Act Comedy. The dramatic circle of the High School Girls' club in Brooklyn prepared for "The Conspirators," a comedy in two acts, to be given at the Lexington avenue branch of the Brooklyn Young Women's Christian association Friday evening. Feb. 16. Mrs. Blanche Wade Wright, director of the dramatic department of the club, showed much skill in perfecting the girls for the various features of the play. Mrs. Wright is a public school teacher and has always taken an active part in other literary work among the young people of Brooklyn. Dines Investment Company Directors. Harry Ratteliff, vice president of the Eureka Investment company, gave a dinner recently in honor of the members of the board of directors of the company at his home on Cathleen street, Philadelphia. Mr. Ratteliff has the distinction of being the first porter on the first carer car run by the Pennsylvania railroad. He was in the employ of the company for thirty years. Mr. Ratteliff retired from the service of the Pennsylvania railroad in 1913. He is sixty-nine years of age. Raising Funds For School in Texas Miss Artemite Bowden, principal of the St. Philip's School For Girls at San Antonio, Tex., is on a tour north for the purpose of securing funds with which to provide larger quarters for the institution. The present building is too small to accommodate the large number of students comfortably. Miss Bowden delivered several addresses in the interest of the school at Philadelphia the second week in February. Justice Terrell Speaks In Brooklyn. The Citizens' club of Brooklyn gave a dinner in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Donglass at the Rockwell Terrace on Saturday evening, Feb. 17. The orator of the evening was the Hon. Robert H. Terrell, justice of the municipal court of the District of Columbia. President George E. Wibecan presided. Miss Florence C. Kelley will be in Baltimore Saturday visiting her sister, Mrs. C. B. Cummings, 1117 Division street, Baltimore.

BY MARGARET BLACK THE STINGY RECEIVER The other day I was standing on my parch watching for the postman, and while standing there I was approached by a school girl of about 16 years of age, "Are you waiting for the mail man," she asked. "Yes," I replied, "he is somewhat late today. Well, she said, "If I do not get a letter today from a certain person—never never again write to them anything." colored flower embroidered on it. The color will enable the patient to quickly distinguish them from the bed clothes. THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW For the woman who like the kilted skirt, it will be good news to know that that variety will flourish anew, at least for a little while. Many of the separate skirts designed for sports wear are plaited from waist to hem. Velvet and velveten are being pro- or said, "I said, 'You shouldn't say that—there are so many things that prevent people from acknowledging a gift, that we must give them a gift.'" "Time"—she said—I would like to know how much time a person needs. It was a Xmas gift and here it is the middle of February. she is not slick I know or I would have heard it—because she often writes my mother, and she says never a word about my present. When I take the time from my studies again, she will give a gift. I knew they'll thank me. "I worked like a fool—if I must say such a think—every spare moment I got to get thru until Xmas—and I to how pleased she would be and now to think here it is February and not one line of thanks, all I can say and really mean is 'never again'—anyone so stingy to acknowledge a gift not deserve any." I that so too, I wondered then how many of us are stingy receivers. We have to receive gifts, but we begrudge the time it takes to sit down and acknowledge them. Do you think for one moment, if you had taken both money and time to buy some one a pretty hat, you would be satisfied with our bake statement that "I thank you so much for the hat. It is beautiful." Don't you way down in your heart wish they had told you how becoming the hat is and how nice it looks with their blue dress or fur coat. When you picked the hat, you were seeing her in your mind, at just what angle she would wear it, and how becoming it would be with just a slight sit towards the left—and how well it matched her blue dress and how very stylish she looked, and all the time you were so happy and so pleased and so proud thinking she like you would also be pleased enough to tell you all these things you were thinking of, then to get the letter with one bare little statement in it, it made your heart sick—didn't it? But so many of them are like Ruth's friend, they are careless and take all they get as their due, without a thot as to the giver or the time that may have been expended on the gift. Why not be like the girl who will write and tell you she received the lovely tatted night gown yoke and immediately bought the loveliest nainook for a gown and made it up and it's a dream, and made me the prettiest gown I have and she looks perfectly lovely in it, and prizes it so highly that she uses it specially for visiting and when she has a girl visiting her, and she's shown it to all the girls in the family and it has been admired over and over again, and ends up by telling you she hardly knows how to put into words her thanks for your thotfulness of her, and at the same time her letter has given you such a lovely pleased feeling that you feel like you'd love to give her a hug and immediately start to thinking what you will give her the next holiday. Are you a stingy receiver, if so then resolve in the future that no matter what must be done you will not forget to prove to the giver that you are more than grateful for value received. Have you tired of taking fruit, candy and flowers to a bedfast patient? Then take her an attractive box of handkerchiefs having a touch of color, a colored hem, a colored initial or a parts. Sow your lettuce as you would grass seed, and stick the onions in rows about nine inches apart. Soak the parsley in warm water over night and sow along the edges. The parsley seed is slow to germinate, but once started is a rapid grower. Sow only half of your lettuce seed at first and in two weeks sow the other half. It needs little attention more than to weed it well once a week and water lightly only when very dry. Joseph Press, "King Pie Maker." It's a far cry from Uncle Sam's test force of employees who qualify under civil service regulations to the doing-cor service of a big railroad system, but the two have been paralyzed in a measure by the introduction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad of a " civil service" examination in parish making. The outcome of the test is that there is a poetry peer now over the traveling kitchen of the system. Along with the easierse king he has taken his place. Having qualified as a chef per excellence of crusty dairies, he has instructed subordinate cooks in the art of taking "pies like mother used to make." When they determined to make a play on pies to tempt the hungry traveller, the soldier officials requested dining on chef's pies to submit their appetizing pies to enable the dishes to determine which cook was best qualified to occupy the pastry chef in their culinary department. Recruitment giving the contest were be beaten up in the kitchen of the servers from tertiary supplies on hand. Pumpkin pies were fixed upon for the test. from cooks along the line between New York and Chicago—some baked Pistachio buns carished, others simmering in the ovens while a train hammered over the rails across Illinois—pies came. There were all sorts and conditions of pumpkin pies—brown and spiced, spiced and flavored with curry thick pies, thin pies, big pies and little pies. They were gathered on an specified date, a number given each subject, judged from the standpoint of attractiveness to the eye, and then cut into by the judges to be passed up or their appeal to the palate. The palate went to Joseph Press, who nearly 20 years has been making crisps back, and forth across the eastern part of the country, preparing stands for the traveling public. His name spread rapidly; the next morning cooks going into Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Huntington, Louisville and New York knew the name of the victor. Some of those who knew him in the days when he cooked the Western swing" or were with him in the "chain gang runs" between Martinsburg and New York, whom claimed to know his recipe. In a name his name had become a by-word for pumpkin pie among the chefs and cooks. The it was some weeks ago. Since last time "Joe"—there aren't many of our travelers who know him, because he is the man behind the fire—has instructed about 20 chefs on the railroad to the art of baking palatable pastry. He was established in a diner in the colored flower embroidered on it. The color will enable the patient to quickly distinguish them from the bed clothes. THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW For the woman who like the kilted skirt, it will be good news to know that that variety is to flourish at least for a little while. Many of the separate skirts designed for sports wear are plaited from waist to hew. Velvet and velvette are being projected for spring wear. It may cross the line if successful for the tailored suit. Coats may be short or long. The woman herself must select according to her inclinations—guided by her height, her breadth and her quality of style or lack of it. The most youthful suits exploit the short coat. Indeed it is hardly more than hip length is vogue in its lines and has all the manners of attractive little features to make it appealing to the average woman. It is rumored that the white boot and that of pale gray and mastic shade will be in greater evidence than ever. In certain instances the waist coat is more in evidence than the coat itself. To speak of waist coats is to think of cutaway coats. Already there are signs of their return in connection with the tailor made suit. Pocket features have undergone a change. They are included as a matter of course and because they are now accepted as staple accessories. But they have lost much of their fortastic character and are applied to the gouches, or ornate cushions, the nature of velope flaps or other extraneous effects as practical adjuncts to be appreciated by sensible women. A very unusual set for the luncheon table has been made of oyster-white linen. The runner is oblong and the various dolies are square in shape. Each doily and the runner are brightened with an inch wide border or old rose linen. The border is set in half an inch from the edge of each article, and the space is filled in, with crescentes embroidered solid in old rose. The color can be changed to suit the color scheme of one's dining room. The set described carried out the old rose touches appearing on the china and in the furnishings of the room. Damask luncheon sets are very much in favor. These are made in round and square shapes and are without any decoration save for a hemstitched edge and an initial in the corner of each article making up the set. The idea suggests a way to make use of partly worm table cloths. Do you like lettuce, young onions, and parsley for seasoning—if so use part of your flower space and get a package of lettuce seed, a quate of onion sets and a package of parsley seed and have them fresh whenever you want them. Lettuce, parsley and young onions are not hurt by frosts. Rake off your plot you are going to use then spade it up and put in some good rotted manure or good dirt, level your bed and divide it into two parts. Sow your lettuce as you would grass seed, and stick the onions in rows about nine inches apart. Soak the parsley in warm water over night and sow along the edges. The parsley seed is slow to germinate, but once it is in the water, sow only half of your lettuce seed it first and in two weeks sow the other half. It needs little attention more than to weed it well once a week and water lightly only when very dry.

Bake 20 minutes in hot oven between two crusts. yards at Camden Station here, and for two weeks cooks from as far West as Chicago went into the instruction car and acquired the delicate touchs "Joe" employed to bring out the crispy crust and melting pumpkin flavor. "Joe" learned to cook and bake from an old Southern mammy and went into the railroad kitchen first in 1898. His employment was at Camden Station. After climbing through intermediate positions, I was made cook on the Royal Limited, from Washington to New York. For a short period he was on the Chicago line, running between Carrett and Chicago; but he was brought back to the Royal Limited, where his ability had won the approval of men big in national affairs, who made frequent trips back and forth between New York and the capital. More recently "Joe" was cook on the business car of Vice-President Thompson, in charge of the traffic department. Mr. Thompson saw the opportunity to attract passenger business by specializing on pastry and having his cook instruct the other chefs, so he made arrangements with E. V. Bauch, superintendent of dining-car service, to have Press give them the inside tips of his recipe and the final touch that made his pie peerless. ,$20 TO $40 PER WEEK Being made selling the new History of Colored People, everybody buys, any one can sell, a man or woman wanted for each person, to spare time.

The successful future of "Pearl of the Army" is more than a conjecture. In the part of Pearl Dare, one which suits Miss White's talents admirably, she upholds her reputation for delightful screen presence. It is our opinion that the story of this serial, as far as the first three episodes reveal, is superior to that of the "Iron Claw" in its general interest and dramatic quality. Its production is also more presentious, more realistic detail being looked after very scrupulously by the director.
