His Condition Became Serious A Few Days Ago And Death Was Not Unexpected. Was Oldest Member Of State Bar In Point Of Service Seconded Nomination Of Theodore Roosevelt. HARRY S. GEMKINGS Harry Smythe Cummings, senior member of the First Branch City Council in point of service, and long a prominent figure in the councils of the Republican party, died late Thursday night at his home, 1318 Drulid Hill avenue. A complication of diseases caused his death. He had been in ill health for about two years, and was forced to miss many sessions of the City Council. He practically gave up on his law practice many months ago. Occupied by his sister, Miss Ida R. Cummings, he went to Harper's Ferry, W. Va., last month, in the hope of benefiting his health. He returned a little over two weeks ago, apparently benefited. He was seen on the streets, and many friends congratulated him on his apparent change for the batter and wished him ultimate recovery. He went out to a Park to stay, nearly two weeks ago, and was back here on Wednesday of last week. He was brought to his home and remained in a state of coma until the end. He began to sink Thursday morning, and relatives and a large host of friends anxiously awaited news of his condition. DEATH CAUSES REGRET. All over the city, people in every walk of life expressed regret at his death because he was well known to prominent business and professional men. HARRY S. many tributes were heard. This was especially true around the Courthouse and City Hall, where everybody knew him Mr. Cummings attended the public schools of this city, and there being no high school for colored boys and girls here in those days, his parents decided to send him to Lincoln University, Oxford, Pa. He entered the preparatory class or that institution in 1881. He was brought under the tutelage of the late President Isaac N. Rendall and other finely equipped and high-minded instructors, thereby making rapid progress. He was graduated in 1886, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts. Among his classmates were a number of men who rose to prominence. These men included William T. Carr, Jr. of city, Rev. Daniel G. Hill, of Catsville, Md.; Rev. J. Milton Waldron, of Washington; Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago; Rev. V. W. Roundtree, of Trenton, N. J., and Harry W. Bass, who served a term as a member of the Pennsylvania, being the only colored man ever elected thereto. Mr. Bass died last June while serving as assistant city solicitor of Philadelphia. ADMITTED TO THE BAR Mr. Cummings entered the law school of the University of Maryland in 1887, graduating in 1889. He and the late Charles W. Johnson, who was an honor man in the class, were the only colored man ever graduated from the law school. He was admitted to the bar immediately after his graduation, and at the time of his death in 1891, he served in the state in point of continuous practice. Eyerett J. Waring, the first colored man admitted to practice law in Maryland, died in Philadelphia two years ago. Being a ready speaker, he evinced a liking for politics, and was heard on the hustings speaking for the Republican party, which was the in the committee. FIRST COLORED COUNCILMAN The Democratic Legislature in 1890 gerrymandering the city, placing a majority of colored voters in the old Eleventh ward, and other leaders, seeing the opportunity of electing a colored man, advised Mr. Cummings to enter the fight. He did and won. He was reelected in 1891, but was defeated the following year. Thus for a time was lost the services of the first colored man to fill an elective office in this state. During the first year in the City Council he appointed Harriet M. Cummings to appointee in the Maryland Institute. He went with the late Ferdinand C. Latrobe, then mayor, on a municipal junketing party to Boston, Mass., and delivered what is said d to have been the best speech delivered by a Marylander at the banquet given in that city in honor of the visitors. Coming back from Boston on the train, he secured from Mayor Latrobe a promise to favor school opening of a Municipal School for the City Council passed the act authorizing the same and the school was opened just twenty-five years ago. At every commencement of the school before it was merged into the High School, Mr. Cummings delivered the address presenting the medal for steam engineering, offered by the principal of the school, the late William R. Ryan. CUMMINGS. IN "STAY-AT-HOME" FIGHT Mr. Cummings was active in the "Stay-at-Home" movement, when in- action on the part of 9,000 colored voters caused the defeat of William T. Malster and the reelection of Mayor Latrobe, Democrat. Mr. Cummings returned to the City Council in 1897, succeeding the late J. Marcus Cargill, who had represen- ted the war for the previous two years. The Legislature in 1898 added two more wards to the city, and a redistricting took place and Mr. Cummings found himself in the present Eleventh ward, where the majority of the voters are white. The late Hiram Watty was elected from the present Seventeenth Ward in 1899, serving until 1905 when enough colored voters stayed away from the polls to elect a Democrat. Mr. Cummings, who had moved into the 17th ward, was elected again in 1907 also in 1911 and 1915. He had nearly two more years to serve, and as the City Council is Democratic, it is likely that a Democrat will be chosen to succeed him. The late Mayor Rayes appointed him a city judge of the Board of Managers at Choltenham, and he held the position at the time of his death. He was a member of the Odd Fellows, serving as attorney general of the Order from 1911 to 1915. SECONDED ROOSEVELTS NOMINATION Mr. Cummings was a delegate to many Republican state and city conventions. He also represented the Fourth Congressional District at two Republican National Conventions. At the Chicago convention, 1904; when Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for the presidency, he delivered a second in gspeech that was given wide publicity. When Maryland was to vote for the first time, in 1805, on a disfranchising amendment, the late Dr. Booker T. EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE White and Colored Educators Meet to Discuss Advancement of Negro Learn- GOOD TEACHERS NEEDED Conference Takes Up Training of Teaches for Schools, Col- Washington, September 6.—A notable conference of educators from the North and South—white and colored—was held here on Thursday and Friday of last week at the invocation or Dr. P. K. Clanton. United States Commissioner of education to discuss various uses of the educational role of the race. The recent exhaustive report made on Negro education by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, of the United States Bureau of Education, in which recommendations were made about standardization of schools and colleges, had caused some misgivings in the minds of many colored educators, the belief being prevalent that a confining to the elementary, agricultural and industrial branches had been recommended. Dr. Jones, in his report, criticised many schools purporting to do college work; urged the establishment of three big colleges for the colored people of the South and dealt with public educational facilities in the South. The report of Dr. Jones was made after three years of labor, the Phleps Fund co-operating with the United States Bureau of Education in making it possible. In exhaustiveness and thoroughness it is regarded as as a rival to the Flexner report on medical schools and their facilities. FALSE IMPRESSIONS MADE Daily newspapers, in giving summaries of the report had given the impression that the limitation of the education of the Negro to the elementary, agricultural and vocational branches had been the greatest majority of colored colleges as little more than high schools, and the recommendation that they should build up either high school or junior college courses had caused some of the colored educators to be apprehensive of the real meaning of the report. Dr. Chaxton, himself a Southerner, dispensed some of the illusions when he said that the United States Bureau of Education had criticised many white institutions of supposed collegiate grade, and that he had always contended for the highest standards. The disillusionment vanished when T. H. Harris, State Superintendent of Education, riddled many of the fallacious arguments of the white South concerning Negro education, and then declared for a square deal in the distribution of the educational funds for both races. Louisiana is regarded as one of the most backward States in the country regarding the education of the Negro. It was further pointed out that many schools and colleges do not adequately supported by benevolence or money raised by Negroes. A strengthening and co relation of the work of higher education, as suggested in Dr. Jones' report, was urged. DISCUSS EDUCATIONAL NEEDS The conference took up in turn elementary schools, the training of teachers, colleges, universities, agricultural and industrial education and the harmonizing of the various forces for the education of the race. Elementary education should be provided for the pupils, those present agreed. A number of speakers declared that the education of the Negro, especially in the elementary grades, should not be an isolated work, but a part of the general movement for uplifting educational standards in the United States. Some of the speakers took the ground that, though the distribution of public educational funds was notoriously unfair to the Negro, that the motives given to the public education were illogical and the whites being in control of the government, ought not to be blamed too severely for giving Negro public schools such a disproportionate sum. The need of good teachers was urged, as well as better facilities for education in rural districts. There was free discussion, though words were carefully chosen, and it is thought that the conference will mean much toward the advance of Negro education. Public school teachers, instructors in private and industrial schools, college heads and representatives of the educational boards of various denominations were in attendance. PROF. BROWN AT ATLANTIC Atlantic City, Sept. 6th.—Among the throng of visitors seen on the boardwalk recently was Prof. J. W. Brown and wife. Prof. Brown has won the hearts of the musical people here by his fine personality and musical enthusiasm. There was an impromptu musicale given in his honor by the choir of Asbury M. E. Church, under the direction of Prof. Miller. Some beautiful selections were rendered. After the recital Prof. Miller entertained Prof. and Mrs. Brown and a pleasant evening was spent. Prof. Brown was a formerly director of the chapel of Bathur Church, Baili- NEGRO TROOPS TO THE SOUTH WILL BE SEGREGATED Every Effort Will Be Made To Keep The Colored Scldier in Training From the Washington, Sept. 2.—Despite protests from white Southeners against sending any colored troops to training camps in the South, the War Department issued a general order Tuesday that there will be some colored soldiers at each of the sixteen cantonments. The order includes selected draft officers and guarnyemen. It is said, however, that effort will be made to keep the colored soldiers segregated from the whites. The South has all along opposed colored troops and the recent outbreak between colored soldiers and the police at Houston, Tex., gave men from that section a chance to restate their opposition with more vehemence. Not only have Congressmen from Texas and other Southern States besieged the area, the government withdrew quartered colored soldiers between quartered in their section, but Representative Dent, of Alabama, and Representative Harrison, of Mississippi, entered a protest Tuesday. Senator Bankhead, of Alabama, went on record a few days ago, it is said, as not opposing Negro soldiers being trained in the South, taking the view that the Government had decided to use colored troops and opposition to segregation or distinctly different treatment of Negro troops in training camps. Protest was made to the President also. Provest Marshal Crowder, on Wednesday of last week, sent the following instructions to Governors of various cities. In order to provide for the segregation of races into regiments and other organizations and to arrange for compliance with state laws requiring the races to travel in separate coaches it has been found that it will be necessary for the adjutant general of each state to know the number of colored and white men and district militants general. OR TO BE CERTIFIED "Hereafter the notation 'white' or 'colored' will be made opposite the name of any person certified from local to district boards or from district boards to local boards and adjutants general. "Adjutants general should call on local boards for a statement of the number of white and colored men contained on the lists already certified. This information should be gathered promptly and be kept up to date, to the end that the adjutant general will always be numbered of colored the number of white men who are on the available lists of selected men in each local board in the state who have not yet been sent to mobilization camps." 8TH ILLINOIS REGIMENT GETS BIG SEND-OFF 20,000 People Attend Farewell To Departing Troopers Chicago. September 5.—"And there will be some black men who can remember that with silent tongue; and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well poised bayonet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation; while I fear there will be some white ones unable to forget that with malignant heart and decitful speech, Chicago bade good-by to its Negro regiment—the Eight A. Although that we noable they have striven to hinder it." With these words, quoted from Lincoln's speech on peace in 1863, by Chief Justice Nirr. C. Narter of the Illinois Supreme Court, in his farewell address at Grant Park last night, to march to the park with his regiment. Col. Franklin A. Denison received the applause of citizens and soldiers when he declared, in his speech of acceptance of a sword of honor that is no longer in patriotism. Patriotism is as noely rooted under the black skin as under any other." Lionel Tompkins mace the address of welcome. In conclusion, he hoped that the members of the regiment would help change the kaiser's tune, and the band, struck up "Suwanne River," and the police up "Bobbie Following the playing of "The Star Stangled Banner," a farewell salute of twenty-one runs was fired. One company of the regiment is in Houston, Tex., when the riots between the police and the 24th Infantry broke out. They took no part in the melee, however. Though Houston and other Texas exiles were involved in the murder of colored troops, 500 whites met in the Houston courthouse a few nights ago, and asked the 24th remaining companies of the city to be present there. M. H. WARNER T. McGUINN, ESQ. Subject to Republican Primaries, Tuesday, September 12th PUBLISHED LY AUTHORITY OF DANIEL E MURPHY, POLITICAL AGENT WILLIAM W. B. DAY, Inc. Anthraelte—COAL—Bituminous 1206 "I cannot accentuate too forcibly elected, I shall personally be on the with my proxy in his pocket. I shall whose servant I shall be. This is my statement I stand and ask the support POLITICIANS PREACHING TO THE VOTERS Doth the Democratic and Republican parties will hold primaries next Tuesday. There are but few contests within the Republican party in this city, the light for committeeman from the Fourteenth Ward and one from the Seventeenth Ward as well as the contest for nomination for Clerk of the City Court being the most interesting. The fight in the Fourteenth Ward has narrowed down to a contest between Warner M. F. McMechan and Charles T. Williams. Williams has the support of the organization forces in the ward headed by Jasus F. Diehl, white, who is the present committeeman, McMechan besides a large personal following and those who believe him fitted for the position, will have the support of a large number of voters who are opposed to the lukewarm attitude exhibited by Diehl in the last councilman election when George M. F. McMechan was a candidate for office. He was defeated that after he had been defeated by McMechan in the primary election he "loafed" on the job as a result of which a Democrat was elected. By far the most interesting event in the campaign thus far is the desertion of the organization by Dr. William M. Alexander. At a meeting held in the interest of Mr. McGinnon on Tuesday night, Dr. Alexander openly accused the local Republican organization with the defeat of O. E. Weller for governor. He said that in the past no one book count his regularly, but the time had come for an entirely new deal in the councils of the Republican party which many successors be attested to. For years Alexander has been regarded as a faithful follower of William F. Stone, the Republican city leader. Recently, however, his relations with the organization have not been so intimate, and his speech Tuesday night is regarded by many as his official pronouncement of a severance of "diplomatic relations." The Doctor has never failed to speak out when the interests of the race are at stake, and is said to be this that has caused him to break with the powers that be. The death of Harry S. Cummings has hampered somewhat the fight of James N. Young, the present State Central Committeeman from the Seventeenth Ward of the regular Republican organization. Daniel W. Richardson is leading the fight of the anti-Cummings faction, while Isaiah P. Brown is in the fight as an introduction of his entrance into Seventeenth Ward politics as a permanent figure. Mr. Richardson is one of the younger men nor make too clear the fact that if job, and no man shall parade around wear no yoke, but that of the voters, promise and my pledge. Upon this of the voters of the 14th-Ward." in the ward and has been a consistent and persistent opponent of the Stone forces. The fact that there are two candidates opposed to the regular organization man will no doubt hurt Mr. Richardson's chances. His friends declare he will win easily, however. SCHIRIM IN THE RUNNING FORMer Congressman Charles R. Schirim is in a coalition with John R. Wilson. Former Sheriff Louis T. Webs for the nomination for Clerk of the City Court. Mr. Schirim, while regarded as an organization candidate has not failed to desert the organization when he opposed its policies. He supported Roosevelt in 1912 and did effective work in his behalf. He is one of the best campaigners in the state and his chances are regarded as good in the present context. He is popular while he was a popular element in the party. DON'T FORGET ALGINE Dr. Harry C. Algrie, of Guth case fame, who was reelected by the colored voters he ran for Register of Wills in 1915, bobs up again. This time he is a candidate for committeeman at large from the Second Legislative District which comprises the 7th, 8th, 9th, 12th, 13th and 14th districts. He will be opposed by John F. Inglis. Algrie will be remembered as the coroner who is reported to have made the remark to Charles Guth who killed his colored chauffeur: "It is with pleasure that I exhonorate you." PHILLIP A. PAYTON, NOTED LAWYER, DEAD New York, September 5—Philip A. Payton, the pioneer coored real estate agent of the Harlem district, died at his summer home at Allenhurst, N.

Rev. Abraham Tyler gave an illuminating recital of his thirty-seven years experience as a missionary in Liberia. The annual address of the president Tev. Calvin S.

If any lady was asked the question; "Would you like to be beautiful?" the answer would be "Yes." But any woman to be beautiful must possess a well developed bust. How many times has this question been asked by women and growing girls. What can I do to develop the bust. There are hundreds of women who were deficient in iron, but they have developed an ability to attain a perfectly developed bust by employing certain means to assist nature in building up the bust to its proper proportions. The remedy which is usually used and has established a wide reputation for this purpose is B-D MASSAGE CREAM, (B-D means Bust Developer.) This cream is readily absorbed by the tissues, rubs in dry and builds up the parts to their proper proportions. It is scientifically compounded for developing the bust. It can also be used to build up the neck, arms and shoulders. If you want a p'ump, full, beautiful bust of real flesh, whip your hands in the face of the CREAM at once don't wait, the sooner the better. You will be surprised at the results obtained from the use of the first jar of cream. PRICE 50c and B-D MASSAGE CREAM, (B-D means Bust Developer.) BEAUTY HINTS, consult our Beauty Department.

Three Months - - - Forty cents Six Months - - - - Fifty Cents One Year - - - One Dollar SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th, 1917 With the convention and vacation period over it may be possible to get down to work. Have any colored men been called into consultation or place? on any committee that are to work for the annexation of more territory to Baltimore? We have not heard of any. If you don't exercise your right of suffrage at the primaries next Tuesday, don't go around complaining that "the bosses have the party or their control. Your chance to ennounce yourself is at the polls and if you fail to do so then you will not deserve THE PROBLEM OF EDUCATION The conference on the educational needs of the race, held in Washington last week, should be productive of good results. The fact that white and colored educators from the North and the South, participated therein, freely speaking their mind about conditions, is an augury of better days for Negro education. The recent exhaustive report on Negro education by Thomas Jesse Jones brings glaringly to public attention the gross inequalities which Negro public schools suffer in the distribution of public funds as well las the need for strengthening and comprising in the work of the institutions of The report of Dr. Jones points out higher rank. that Maryland is backward in providing educational facilities for its colored youth, and it shows that there are states South more reccreant than our own in this respect. Enlightened Southern-white men are the Negro has for better schools and better trained teachers, and Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of education, has always contended for higher standards and better facilities. Schools supported by private funds must be aided more liberally, and the white South must be made to see the necessity of not only providing more generously for the educational needs of the colored people there, but that it is a utility where the dividends are fourfold. Let the work of better understanding of conditions and concerted efforts to remedy the same continue, more and more seeing the need that AS TO NEGRO SOLDIERS The decision of the War Department to send colored men chosen under the selective draft to all training camps is gratifying. It overrules the objection of the white South to having colored troops in their midst, and at once removes what may have been a handicap to this country in carrying on the war. Not only must this country show to its colored citizens that it believes in fairplay to all, but it must give no excuse for disloyalty by overt acts of discriminations against a class of people who are with it in fighting for world democracy, especially when that spirit obtains within their country. The United States cannot afford to have Europeans believe that its protestations in favor of world-wide democracy is not its policy at home, and is evidenced, by its prejudicial treatment of 10,000,000 loyal citizens who happen to be of African descent. WHERE ARE YOU: JOHN? It has been heralded around the country that John Mitchell, Jr., did not attend the recent session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias at St. Louis. The fighting editor of the Richmond Planet and bank president, who is also grand chancellor for Virginia, has been at odds with the Supreme Lodge since before its session at Baltimore four years ago. Lawsuits have been instituted, and, we believe, that Editor-Banker-Grand Chancellor John Mitchell has come out best. Be that as it may, the rumor comes to town that the smaller wing of the Knights of Pythias, which met in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. last week, may meet "somewhere in Virginia" two years hence. Now that is John's ballwick. We wonder will the meeting be held there, with John treating the stranger within his gates in a friendly but distant way or will it be that the militant editor and lodgeman is tired of the stronuosity of the age, and is willing to lead his cohorts into those of the apostles of peace and good will Thoserampts are said to reach over the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. We want to know is the slogan, "Let us have peace" or "Fight to the Death." HARRY S. CUMMINGS in the death of Harry S. Cummings, Baltimore and the state of Maryland loses a figure that has been prominent for nearly three decades. While the Afro-American has had occasion to differ with him politically, on occasions, it must be said in all fairness, that he is one colored man whose political activities did not arouse the prejudices of the Southern white element. Starting out in life young and with a good education, he became a widely known character, and his service in the City Council was marked by his maintaining good relations with the Democrats and Republicans alike. His name was known al. over the country, and he was regarded as a leader among the colored people of Maryland. He was an unserving friend and an uncompromising foe, asking nor giving no quarter in his many political battles. His demise benefits the local Republican organization of one of its biggest assets. The War Department will not have separate cantonments for the colored troops, but it will yield to the Southern demand for segregation and carry colored soldiers to Southern camps in "Jimcrow" cars. Is this the spirit of "Democracy" the United States is preaching to the world? EDITORIAL COMMENT A RACE BIOT IN TEXAS The colored brother in the United States, is becoming more of a problem than ever. As long as he is submitted to be lynched without resistance, or to have his house burned and his family driven into the street he was tolerable. But now that he has begun to shoot back, something will have to be done about it. Recent events at Houston, Texas, are symptomatic of a rising spirit that will have to be dealt with. What caused the outbreak on the part of the colored troops has not been stated. Probably, however the police of Houston undertook to kick the Negro soldiers around in the good old way dear to the southern heart. The result must have astonished them. Usually a "race biot" means that a group of white men, probably drunk, have taken it into their heads to amuse themselves by shooting Negroes, and themselves proceeded to do so. This time it worked the other way and there are fifteen white corpses exposed to the astonished gaze of the Texan fire-enters. What is the world coming to anyway? If this sort of thing is allowed to go on, the white man will presently find himself compelled to behave decently in mixed company. He may even be driven to condescend and the right which the white man is bound to respect. Of course there will be an enquiry and, of course, the Negro soldiers will be found in the wrong. Some of them for a change, will presumably be hanged by due process of law instead of by a mob. There will be journalistic disquisitions on the folly of sending Negro soldiers to southern camps and the Negro will make an attempt to hold the Democrats responsible. But there will also be a disposition in southern cities to treat Negroes—especially armed Negroes—with a little more caution. —Winnipeg (Canada) Telegram.

TROTTER ASSAULT COURTNEY Eoston, Mass., September 5.—A dispute occurred Thursday of last week when William Monroe Trotter assailed Dr. Samuel E. Courtney, on the Selection Board for Division 13, Boston, charging Dr. Courtney does not inquire as thoroughly as possible into the physical condition of colored men appearing before him for examination under the draft law. Dr. Courtney said that Trotter accused him of "murdering colored men into the "Amy" to fight for an Administration that has "consistently discriminated against the colored race." Dr. Courtney said he told Trotter that when a man appeared before him for examination he ceased to be of any particular color or creed, and he added that he would continue to perform the duties entrusted to him as carefully and conscientiously as he could. Mr. Trotter said that he spoke to Dr. Courtney on behalf to the colored mothers of the South End. "I told him," he said, "that I thought this time to shove colored into the Army wholesale, in view of the way the colored people have been treated by the Administration and the whites throughout the country." Dr. Courtney is colored. SALISBURY SPLITINGS Salisbury, Md., Sept. 6—Many farmers of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia are attending the fair here this week.

Mr. Robert Wilson, of Cambridge, spent a few days in town last week. Dr. Roverey M. Hall, the oldest colored practicing physician in the city, died suddenly at his summer home in Overlae, Friday at noon. He had been in failing health all the summer and had been at Sea Isle, N.J. in an effort to recover from not getting any help his wife brought him home last Friday. He really grew weaker, though the end camp suddenly. He was son of the late William H. Hall, a wealthy farmer of Anne Arundel County and was 71 years of age last Tuesday. He was educated at Bridgwater (Mass.) Normal School and studied medicine at Howard University, graduating with the first class in 1872. The late Dr. William H. Thompson, long a practicing physician in this city, was one of his classmates. Returning to this city, he opened an office at 842 South Street, where he resides with little over 20 years and a number of years lived at 1019 Drudg Hill avenue, but moved on Mosher street about four or five years ago. Dr. Hall was interested in the work of Provident Hospital and was a member of its board of directors. He had served on both the city and federal ground juries. Within recent years he had relinquished much of his practice and devoted his time to study and travel. He visited Europe six or seven years ago and his impressions appeared in a series of articles in the Afro-American. He was said to be one of the wealthiest colored men in the city, his wealth being variously estimated at between seventy-five and one hundred thousand dollars. His wife, who was Miss F. Jennette Johnson; one son, Dr. Reverdy M Hall, Jr., a daughter, Mrs. Daniel C Brown; two brothers, Irving and Jerome Hall, are among the surviving relatives. DEATH COMES TO HARRY S.CUMMINGS Continued From Page One. Washington sent for him to come to New York and tell what he (Dr. Washington) could do in saving the franchise to the colored people of Maryland. Mr. Cummings told the educator that bringing in colored speakers from outside the state would prejudice the cause of the colored people. Mr. Washington then gave a generous check which made possible the distribution of anti- disfranchise literature. Cummings was an ardent supporter of the leadership of William F. Stone. He was also highly regarded by every mayor the city has had in nearly thirty years. Mr. Cummings was married in 1899 to Miss Blanch Conklin and from this union there are two children, Harry S. Jr., and Louise Virginia. Besides these he is survived by two sisters, Miss Ida R. Cummings and Mrs. Joseph S. Fennell; and three brothers, Rev. Charles, Aaron and William H. Cummings. The funeral will be held from the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, Orchard street, on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Facing a remarkably large congregation last Sunday morning, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, pastor of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church argued them to the wildest enthusiasm when he heik up to view a second mortgage of Fifteen Thousand and Dollars on the church, which had been cancelled through the great rally concluded August 30th, through which the members and friends had raised $15172.04, the largest amount ever raised by a colored congregation. But notwithstanding the object of the effort has been attained, money continues to pour in from persons out of the city, or just arriving from their vacations. At the evening service, even larger crowd attenders evidently bent on saying goodbye. Dr. Brooks who has been granted a three week vacation by the congregation; the waiter in which it was contained, by J. H. Murphy, and a mileage book by William White, who had joined the church at the morning service. Bettel's debt, which was perhaps, the largest of any Negro church in the country, has stood at $75000 for several years, causing many to feel that it would never be reduced, but since the coming of Reverend Thomas to the west, where he had met with wonderful uscess, new hope has come to the membership and their friends from all denominations have come to their reller. The building was formerly occupied by St. Peters' Protestant Episcopal Church and is regarded as one of the handsomest structures in the city. The trustees have about completed plans for the installation of steam heat. FLKS PLANNING FOR 1918.

The annual national Tennis Tournament of the American Tennis Association came to a close Saturday with the defeat. In the double matches, of Ralph Reckling and Ralph Cook, by Terry Holmes and Frank Cardoza. In the finals of the singles, Ralph Reckling the local champion was defeated in three straight sets by last year's champion Talley Holmes. The victory was not without struggle however, as the first set went to 8-6 before Holmes won out, and several times in this set was Reckling within a point of winning, but could not put it over. The other two sets were a trifle easier for the champion, and he won handsily 6-4: 6-2. The visitors enjoyed a very sociable stag given in their honor Tuesday night, and were the guests at a well attended subscription dance at Python Castle Hall Thursday evening. Most of them left for home Sunday acclimating the tournament a big success, and praising the hospitality of their hosts.

Today is "Big Six" day at the famous city-by-theSea, and "Aunt Hagar's children" have complete possession. They thronged and have taken possession of everything. In fact, the city belongs to them. Every year, on the sixth of September, Atlantic City is practically given over to the colored people from Philadelphia and nearby points. All sorts and conditions are here. There are several bands of music and they are whooping and people have given up the day to them and very few are seen on the Boardwalk this morning. The cafes, restaurants, stores, amusement places are crowded. Everybody caters to them and they go where they please and do as they please. The jitneys are reaping a harvest as well as the saloons and other places. This is the final harvest for the Atlantic City folk and they are making good use of it. The Knights Templar from Philadelphia and New York come here, the season will be practically closed. Notwithstanding the war, this city has had about the usual crowds, except last Saturday, Sunday and Monday, when the crowds made those days record-breakers. Beds were not to be had and many were content to sleep on cots, billiard tables and even on and under the Boardwalk. It is estimated that nearly half-million people were here. Most interesting is being manifested in the illness of Councilman Cummings and numerous inquiries have been made of the writer. A number of Baltimoreans were noted on the Boardwalk. As we were unable to secure all the names it is perhaps more politic not to mention any. It is not often a man bears strangers discuss him or his family in a public place, but this is what happened to the writer while as supper Monday he was taking his number to the writer cocked his ear and heard some interesting news about his family by "persons unknown to the jury." What would have been the effect had he made himself known can only be surmized. H.M.J. M. COUNCHMAN ADAMS I NTOWN City Councilman J. Albert Adams, of Annapolis, was in the city Wednesday. He was recently reelected to represent the Third ward of Annapolis. NEWS IN BRIEF Five members of the 24th Infantry got five years at hard labor in the Penitentiary and another ten years for alleged participation in a riot between soldiers on one side and citizens and police on the other at Wase, Tex., July 29. They were also dishonorably discharged from the army. They were tried before a military court and found guilty of violating the 93rd article of war. At Highstown, Carneys Point and other New Jersey towns where there have been recent large increases in the colored population, separate schools are being planned. In a communication to the Ohio State Journal, published at Columbus, New York, it said the large influx of colored people to that city will be a menace, unless better housing facilities are provided. Following the announcement that some colored soldiers from Ohio quartered at Montgomery, Ala., would visit the white Y, M. C. A., and moving picture parulors, a committee of white and colored citizens called at the camp and told them any attempt at violating any of the "rules of the white South" would be resented. Victor H. Tulane, a prominent colored business man of that city, said that the races co-operated without mingling in public or private affairs. The New Orleans Gas Company is conducting a free cooking class for colored people. R. C. Winn, of Northeast, Md., is the only colored stone-mason employed on the Philadelphia branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, Miss., was recently elected a member of the Republican National Committee. He is the first colored member within the past eight years, Judson W. Lyons, of Georgia, being the last. A clairion call for race rights and against racial discriminations will be made at the annual meeting of the National Equal Rights League, which will be held at Mother Zion Church, New York city, on September 18, 19 and 20. Rev. Byron Gunner, of Hillburn, N. Y., is the president and W. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, corresponding secretary. The magazine section of last Sunday's New York Times had an illuminating story of the progress that the colored people are making in the Harlem section of New York city. The National Baptist Convention (Boyd faction) is meeting in Atlanta this week, with hundreds of Baptist ministers and laymen in attendance. Rev. E. P. Jones is the president. The Original National Baptist Convention of which Rev. E. C. Morris is head, is meeting in Muskogee, Okla. Philadelphia, September 5.—Colored doctors, dentists and pharmacists from all over the country were here last week to attend the annual meeting of the National Medical Association. The next session will be held in Hampton, Va. Included will be bulldogs, tuberculosis among colored people, housing conditions and health and topics of professional interest. Clinics were also given at local hospitals. Dr. D. A. Byrd, of Norfolk, Va., the retiring president, gave a well received address at the opening. A pilgrimage was made 'a independence Hall and many of the delegates went to Atlantic City, where they the guests of New Jersey physicians. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: CO2: HAYS RETURNS. COL. HANS RETURNS. Col. Hamilton N. Hays has returned from a visit to his son, Hamilton N. Hays, Jr., who is with the First Separate Company at Pittsburgh. He says that the men are all well and happy, Captain William R. Spencer asked especially to be remembered to his friends through the Afro-American. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Schirm Makes Appeal to Republican Voters. To the Editor of the Afro-American: As a candidate for the nomination for Clerk of the Baltimore City Court. be voted for at the primaries on Tuesday, September 11th. I desire to say a few things in my own behalf the Republican patrons of your pa- ner. I come before the voters of the Republican party as one who has served the Republican party for nearly twenty-five years, and who bears no fractional ill-feeling against any voter who differs with me now, or has differed with me in the past. Year in and year out I have traveled the State of Maryland, and given my best efforts and a speaker in the interests of the candidates of the Republican party. It is true that in 1912 I supported for the presidency. Theodore Roosevelt, that splendid American and unfinishing champion of human rights; but when that battle was over, I gave my time and efforts to healing the breach in the Republican party. I have had some honors at the hands of the party, and I can say, with absolute sincerity, that I have so discharged my duties as to cause no Republican to blush for the record that I made. Whenever my public duties required me to pass judgment upon the acts of my fellow citizens, I always, when possible, tempered justice with mercy. I tried to correct and uplift rather than to dishearten and condemn. I feel that my usefulness to the Republican party has not yet ceased, and I am ready and willing to work hand in hand with all loyal Republicans for the welfare of the party and the success of its candidates. I sincerely trust that the Republicans of this city, who have so often heard my voice upon the hustings in the interest of Republicanism, believe me to be such a Republican as they can freely support for office of Clerk of the Baltimore City Court. Respectfully submitted CHARLES E. SCHIRM STAUM IN RACE FOR CLERK OF THE CITY COURT John R. M. Staun, one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for Clerk of the Baltimore City Court became a candidate for this office at the request of Republicans who believe that he has never been identified with factional rights and engaged in bitter primary contests, or unanticipated any other chance, than either of his opponents to be elected in November. His political record is as follows: In 1902 he was elected Republican member of the House of Delegates by a large majority in a strong Democratic district, and during 1914, 1915 and 1916, he served as a Judge in the People's Court of Baltimore City by appointment of Governor Goldborough. As a Judge of the People's Court he treated colored litigants with every degree of care. For years he has been a tireless worker for the Republican party and a contributor to its campaign funds. Mr. Staun is a well known lawyer and has awide circle of friends. --- VOTERS of the 17th Ward will make no mistake. If they want their every interest, safeguarded by voting for Daniel W. Richardson to represent the Ward on the Republican State Central Committee. He will strive at all times to protect and promote the interests of the colored voters of his ward and city, as well as ardently working for the success of the Republican mark. Now is the chance for a new deal. Primaries. Tuesday, September 11. Adv. FOR CLERK BALTIMORE CITY COURT JOHN R. STAUM REPUBLICAN Tireless worker for Republican Party Friend of Colored People.

IS THIS TRUE? 15 YEARS TORMENT For 17 years I was tormented with a terrible skin disease which the doctors called ECZEMA. It set me at times almost crazy from itching. During those years, I went to hospital and tried about a week before my request was never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell, the specialist, 1369 N. Carey街, Baltimore. Md. He treated me seven months and I am now completely cured. If anyone happens to suffer with such awful skin disease, go to Dr. Campbell, who, I believe, anything person was born with, and is by my mind, the best doctor in the world. MRS. SARAH WRIGHT.
