Earl Johnson's time for the five and one half mile course was 32 minutes and 28 seconds. After a two days rain the streets of the city and the roads of the park were in poor condition for a race.

Ike Bannister, the old veteran, who has run in ever-race held by the Afro-American, and who was always among the prize winners, was in next to last place coming thru the park, but spun up and finished fourteenth. One of the men found the going so slippery that he finished the race in his bare feet. All of the starters finished in good condition and were rushed to the "Y" building for hot showers and a run down. Continuous rain led many would be spectators to believe that the race would be called off, and the office forces of the "Afro" was kept busy during the morning telling inquiries that the contestants were here from Washington, Philadelphia and Lincoln University, and the race would go on as scheduled. Start was delayed until 12:57 in hope that the downpour would reuse MEDALS AND CUP AWARDED.

Miss Jackson told of the work of the National War Work Council is doing in spending $200,000 set aside for colored women's associations.

WHITE SOLDIER A HERO A white soldier on the W. B. and A. she said, got up, and coming back to the rear of the car, where she was standing, escorted her to his seat up front, when another white man in the opposite seat asked him, "Is that the best you can do, give your seat to a 'bigger' woman?" The soldier replied in effect: "I am an overseas fighter. While shackers like you were at home, thousands of the men of the race represented by this woman did as much to achieve history in France as white soldiers did. Some of them were better men than I am, and they are still in France. We left them over there. It would have been a heap sight better, if we could have taken such men as you over there and left them." Of course the whole car heard the dialogue in silence, while Miss Burroughs, humiliated by the cracker, and at the same time thrilled by the soldier's defense could only say to herself "Thank God." Miss Elizabeth Carter, formerly the only colored teacher in the mixed schools of New Bedford, Mass, spoke on "Blurred Vision."

Wright, drummer in the famous "Holl Fighters" (369th Infantry) Band, recently returned from overseas.

Wright was arrested, but claims he defended. accented funeral was held from St. Mary's Methodist Episcopal church, West 32rd street on Tuesday. The famous leader was attired in the costume in which he had appeared before hundreds of thousands of cheering people; dress suit and pleated boots shirt.

UGH DR CAROLIN JAMES TIRED OF COL- ORED MIGRANTS Association of Commerce Would Send Negroes back To Southern Homes—Associated Negro Press Uncovers Scheme to Get Rid of City Voters. Chicago, May 14—The people of Chicago are much concerned about the motive of the Chicago Association of Commerce in telegraphing to all the larger Southern cities and emulating of the commercial bodies in that section whether they have any employment opening of any kind for members of the race. Coming as it does, in connection with a concerted effort on the part of all the daily papers and leading civic organizations of the community to "look into the Chicago Negro problem," there is some suspicion on the part of the thinking people as to whether there may not be some "white folks in the world." The copy of the telegram sent to the Southern cities reads: "Are you in need of Negro labor? Large surplus here. Both returned soldiers and civilians. Negroes ready to go to work. Can you send responsible parties to interview Negroes and make suitable selection and arrangements for locating them in jobs needed for your section?" Soldiers' buildup ready to provide office facilities and corporate in every way possible. "Signed R. R. Beach. Chicago Association of Commerce." This telegram is being received with varied degrees of enthusiasm in the South, and the story concerning the "search for openings" is being played up and written up in the customary Southern fashion of accepting gingerly suggestions emanating from the North, white or otherwise. Some of the headlines in various newspapers are amazing with the facts in the case. The Greenville, N.J. Pledmont, has this caption "Negroes in Chicago Facing Survival." The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer has this headline: "Chicago has Surplus of Negroes; Could Columbus Use Them?" The Enquirer proceeds to say after printing the telegram: "In the event of local commerce organizations deciding to accept the offer of the Chicago body, a representative will be dispatched to the Windy City with instructions to pick out only Southern Negroes who have ventured up to the search of the progeny of gold mines. Northern Negroes to include northern mines into the minds of northern blacks will be sent south." Careful investigation by the Associated Negro Press discloses the fact that there are some of the race out of work, just as there are thousands of whites, but there has been no request on the part of the men out of work to have the Chicago Commerce body telegraph to find work in the South. As a matter of fact, there is not only a general disposition not to return to the South, but then to hundreds of people from the South coming North, regarded as a bit of champion on the part of the Chicago body and "R. R. Beach" to in this manner to "get rid of the colored people of Chicago. Chicago is on the threshold of the greatest building revival in the history of the city, and it is believed by all thoughtful people, that the demand for labor in a few weeks will far exceed the supply. GAINES WITH DANIELS PARTY Washington, May 14—There has been quite a bit of comment among folk in official life here, because of the fact that all the cablegrams giving the names of the "official party" traveling with Secretary of the Navy Daniels on his tour thru Europe, the name of Robert Gaines, a race man, appears. Mr. Gaines is described officially as a messenger, but his name appears on the official list sent by cable-gram. DRIVING RA NA RACE REESE E WANTS STATE TO HANDLE LYNCHERS Governor Dorsey Favors Appoint- ment of Grand and Petit Juries Savannah Gn., May 14—The creation of a grand and pettier jury to handle lynching cases only is being proposed by Governor Hugh M. Dorsey. The Governor will endure to kill through the legislature. Governor Dorsey declared: "I have long recognized that the matter of lynching is a crime against the sovereignty of the State, and as such, the state should have first jurisdiction over lynching, and not be left to the hands of the particular community where the crime occurred." Governor Dorsey was one of the signers of the call for the National Anti-Lynching Conference held in New York. The program to "Make American Safe for Americans" on which the National Association for the Advancement of Colored. People. is making its drive, was given out as follows by Mr. Shillady: 1. A vote for every Negro man and woman on the same terms as for white men and women. 2. An equal chance to acquire the kind of an education that will enable Negroes everywhere wisely to use their skills in the courts for all crimes of which he is accused, by judges in whose election he has participated without discrimination because of race. 3. A right to sit upon the jury which passes judgment upon him. 4. Defense against lynching and burning at the hands of mobs. 5. Equal service on railroad and other public carriers. 6. Is to mean sleeping car service, dining car service. Pullman service, at the same cost and upon the same terms as other passengers. 7. Equal right to the use of the public parks, libraries and other community services for which he is taxed. 8. An equal chance for a livelihood in public and private employment. 9.

Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of the colored schools removed from his office. A plan was on foot to picket the Franklin Building, but for some reason it fell through.

Compton appointed on the Board of Education to take the place of Dr. John Hayden Johnson, whose term of office expires June 30, 1913.

The Annual Sermon to the Seven-Wise Men by the Pastor: Bobert Tate, Grand Master. The Bands' Minister, Steward E. Taco, Superintendent. Mr. Moorfield Storey is certainly right when he says that somebody is at fault that the branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, located in this city, has only three hundred members when it ought to have six thousand. That somebody, if not the people of Baltimore, it is the officers and members of the branch. We are informed that the local branch has not held a meeting or an election of officers in two years. Whether Nichis is true or not, it is true that when the Association was asked to take charge of a case of discrimination on the W. B. & A. Railway, the Snowden case the Fountain case, and other similar matters that logically belong to its province, there was "nobody home" and the burden fell on such groups of citizens as felt disposed to handle the situations. If the present corps of officers of the local Branch wish to atone in the right spirit for their somnolence of the ways to do it would be to organize a drive or 5000 new members and watch the people make good".

A A DRUNKEN HOUSE Colonel Henry Watterson, white, vicar of the Louisville Courier Journal in the Saturday Evening Post tells of a careann in the United States House of Lives during the reconstruction period. "The night of the day when I took me was an all-night session. I knew too that meant, and just from a long time went to bed and slept soundly till six. I was up and dressing for a stroll and familiar, dearly loved quarter of the name an imperative rap upon the door: "Get up Colonel. quick! This is a truss. There has been a call of the House after you. Everybody is drunk more or less to noisy to have some fun with you." "It was even as he said. Everybody was drunk—especially the provision and when we arrived and I was led a promenade isle, pandemonium broke loose. They had all sorts of fun with me since was moved that I be fined, the full and alliance. Then a resolution was offered only membership and sending me under a Capitol prison. Finally two or three friends resued me and business was proceed. Anybody who wants to blame the newly made, for theills of the reconstitution needs to reread just the one sentence: "Everybody (House of Representative) was drunk, especially the provision." Det Colonel Henry Watterson, white, venerable editor of the Louisville Corner Journal in a late issue of the Saturday Evening Post tells of his first appearance in the United States House of Representatives during the reconstruction period. "The night of the day when I took my seat there was an all-night session. I knew too well what that meant, and just from a long tiresome journey, we went to bed and slept soundly till sunrise. Just as I was up and dressing for a sarail about the old familiar, dearly loved quarter of the town there was an imperative rap upon the door and a voice said: "Get Up colonel, quick! This is a sergeant at arms. There has been a call of the House and I am sure you. Everybody is drunk more or less and they are noisy to have some fun with you." "It was even as he said. Everybody more or less, was drunk—especially the provisional speaker—and when we arrived and I was led a prisoner down the center isle, pandemonium broke loose. "They had all sorts of fun with me such as it was, was moved that I be fined, the full amount of my赃款. Then a resolution was offered suspending membership and sending me under guard to the Old Capitol prison. Finally two or three of my friends rescued me, and business was allowed to proceed.

EGGS BY THE POUND. If we buy chops by the pound, potatoes by the neck and eggs by the dozen, who loses money? the housekeeper, of course. One of the recent reprises in buying is the requirement in some markets that potatoes be sold by the pound. This is the only certain means of getting full value for money's worth, and now the Forecast Magazine urges that chops be sold by the same way. If we buy chops by the pound, potato peck and eggs by the dozen, who loses in the housekeeper, of course. One of the norms in buying is the requirement in so what potatoes be sold by the pound. Different hens lay eggs of different weight, says the Foraste, and shows the picture of four eggs, that weigh seven ounces, and opposite a picture of four larger eggs that weigh nine ounces. People are just beginning to realise that sometimes they get less than a pound in a dozen eggs and at other times a pound and a half, which means that they lose as much as twenty cents sometimes on dozen eggs. Since it is impossible to require all eggs to lay a standard size egg, the next best thing to be to require all eggs to be sold by the pound and by the dozen. The death of James Reese Europe on the eve of his European tour loses to America one of her eightest musical stars. As the founder and honorary president of the left Club, Europe became the most talked of musicians in New York. His jazz music became very popular and no function or social gathering in the hotels and restaurants was complete without a group of "Europe's Orchestra." Further honor name to him thrush his organization and training of the 365th Infantry Band, which he led overseas, ad afterwards on a tour of France. Other bands were better, perhaps but none was more popular,磺磺ly. Europe was the first colored officer to enter the first line trenches in France. From an unknown in Mobile, Ala., to a celebrity in New York; from a private in the 369 Infantry to a first leutenancy, these are just a few of the big jumps the strenuous orchestra leader made in his brief career. He goes down in history as theman who conquered New York and Paris with the Jazz. My brother-in-law, William H. Potts, of Trapee Talbot county, Md., has resided in Trappe for many years. He is principal of the school, a trucker a responsible and highly respected citizen. During the Fountain affair, some irresponsible person circulated the rumor that Mr. Potts wrote the articles that appeared in the Afro concerning the trial etc. This went like wildfire among the citizens, white and colored of Talbot county and placed Mr. Potts in a very embarrassing and dangerous position. The superintendent of schools, I am told personally accused him of writing the articles. To be unjustly accused is indeed a very unpleasant and in this case a dangerous predicament. Mr. Potts daughter sells the Aro, 50 or more, and reports the local happenings. Will you please write to Mr. Potts and to Superintendent Orem, and state that Mr. Potts did not report the Fountain case. Believing that for the sake of justice and right you will give this your immediate attention, I am, very truly yours, CHARLES C. WOODLAND, Catonsville. As many of the people of Easton know, the Afro- American sent two of its own special correspondent, from Baltimore to report the Fountain case. This course absolves Mr. Potts and agent from all charges of writing the articles that scored the mo- tal of Fountain in Easton. The article complained of by Talbot count, bibles accused them of being no better than the mach mobs farther South. The above letter sim- ply proves it. The letter shows that right down in Talbot county there is no such thing as freedom of speech and freedom of the press for the colored per- son as guaranteed by the Federal Constitution. Had Mr. Potts written the articles referred to the same mob that nearly lynched Fountain woul- d have made it very unpleasant for him.

JMPUDENT AND SUGGESTIVE In his sermon last Sunday morning, Rabbi Stephen Wise the noted Jewish preacher and social worker in New York, flaged the kind of plays that are showing in our theatres. Rabbi Wise as usual did not mince words, when he called a show advertized on Broadway as a "classy, girly, jazzy", impudently and satirically suggestive. "Producers no longer consider drama as an art, but as a means to expose half dressed women. Theatre business is the dirtiest business in America. Referring to a play he Elimself had recently seen in one of the theatres, the Rabbi said: "It was nothing less than the work of moral savengers and filth producers. It was the product of moral leprosy. The stage was filled with half dressed women—though no more so than the boxes of the theatre itself, or the lobbles of the average hotel. It was the vulgar incarnation of impurity, spen about a display of hosiery and underwear." In order to exterminate the "lingerie drama" he suggests that the public censor bad plays by staying away. After all it comes back to the public. If they are pleased with this kind of "bedroom" drama portrayed on the modern stage the theatre producers will continue giving it immoral plays. If on the other hand such plays are really an insult to the moral and intellectual standards managers will soon find something better. Rabbi Wise's criticism is timely and more than this it is constructive. It is constructive. It is not the academic discussion and condemnation of the theatre and the drama that ministers in many parts of the country preach annually without ever seeing the inside of the theatre. The Rabbi speaks with authority because he recognizes the educational and recreational value of the theatre from contact. He is not too good to go to a theatre, and not too bad to criticise the wrong kind of plays shown there. William James Sidis, the prodigy, who finished Harvard University with his doctor's degree at fifteen, has been sentenced to jail for a month and a half. It was not a case of too much education, but of too much bolshevki. The Centenary Movement that begins this Sunday in the Methodist Episcopal Churches of the whole country, and runs for one week, asks the churches of Baltimore for a sum in excess of one hundred thousand dollars. Sharp Street Church has been asked to raise as her quota $25,000. The slogan of the great mass meeting held in this city Wednesday by all the churches of the denomination in this district was "we are going over the top" and they started by subscribing $15,000. There is nothing selfish in the Centenary Movement., the funds raised will be expended here in America, as well as in foreign countries for the education and health of all the people. It is for this reason that the movement deserves boosting by those who are not members of the denomination. In a letter printed in another column, a correspondent suggests that the will of the people would be expressed before the plans for a new Victory Hospital are carried through. It is a big burning under it, *etaetataetataetinaeointeatatliruwden* and the community ought to go slow before getting under it. It is apparently the way he feels. When a group of fairly representative persons voted to put the proposition over the African-American felt that it had the approval of a large majority of haps there is the feeling that the state or city ought Baltimoreans. Perhaps we were mistaken. Perto put up the money for the new hospital, and that the people ought not be taxed by the campaign. So we ask the question of our readers, ought colored Baltimore and Maryland get behind the Victory Hospital or not? PEOPLE'S FORUM That Baltimore City is sorely in need of a hospital for its colored citizens, goes without saying. Over two years ago, at the St. Agnes Hospital, this city, the intention of the white people's handling over the Union Protestant Hospital to the colored people and the kindness of Dr. Joseph C. Bloodgood, to offer his services free of charge to train colored men in operative surgery was voluntarily told me by Dr. Joseph C. Bloodgood, himself a surgeon of note the world over, who also indicated his willingness to assist in the same line. It will be seen, therefore, that the primal object of the white people was to give the above hospital to Negroes of Baltimore both for the benefit of the sick and the better equipment of Negro people. In addition, also applied the colored physician or hayman can truthfully lay claim to having originated the plan or movement by which this hospital may be given to colored people. Nevertheless, we noticed newspaper heralding of this new scheme certain persons nervily claiming plaudits for what they are not entitled to. The immediate result of this is the danger of the belated hospital becoming either stillborn or falling into the desutecte of a similar institution of only nominal existence in our midst. The danger lies in the way, and manner in which the preliminaries are being handled, by the exclusiveness and secrecy of a few zealots in quest of notoriety; by a plan of procedure which does not take in the entire professional class into consideration; by the insane attempt of overaxing an already overburdened community with $75,000 without first ascertaining the ability and willingness of the people to pay any part of it by a feeling of some sort. There is only one way of maintaining a hospital whether it is for the use of white people or colored people and that is by previously being assured of a reliable source of revenue. The purchase and maintenance of the above hospital should be by the State of Maryland or some benefactor or both. A modern hospital cannot be maintained on subscriptions from occasional dances, excursions, or spasmodic rallies by the churches. Such an institution will not only be poorly equipped generally but it will be a veritable death trap by reason of poor equipment, and a disgrace to the physicians and the city. There would be another hospital at Washington today if it could be maintained thru other than voluntary subscriptions. But the wiser heads prefer to stick to Freedman's Hospital, inconvenient as it is in some things. Nor could the white people themselves maintain a hospital in this city on promiscuous subscriptions, or Johns Hopkins, a hospital that have speedy knuckled at the door. Rockefeller for help when its revenue was seriously jeopardized by the fire of 2004. Then, again, a new hospital, the founding of which is contemptual, to be successful, could not by any means be controlled by an oligarchy. It must be democratic. It must represent the best amount of us. The community wants "a hospital which must represent more than a mine. It wants a modern hospital in equipment and personnel; a hospital with all the most modern appliances and adjuncts for specific, accurate scientific work to be directed, not by good intention, but by competent heads of departments. A hospital where both doctors and patients will feel perfectly secure either in the ward or operating room. If we must have a hospital, we must have a first class one or be liable to be told, in an hour of great stress, to go to our own hospital on Division street. Either a well-equipped hospital or none at all. The public safety demands this and the reputation of the local physicians will not suffer less. To be successful in the task before us we must have wide and far-reaching consultations, from time to time instead of the rattings of a few who represent nobody but their own selfish interests. The hospital itself must be the directUTE liaison and management of the white people whose benevolence, finance and ability alone can bring it speedy recognition. We can assist and do most of the work, but we must not be foolish enough to think that we can keep it going a week on our own effort. This is a bitter truth; but it is our potion. The Superintendent of such a hospital should be informed man of the broadest scientific training and not a figurehead. I can say more; but I shall not until circumstances obligate me to do so. It suffices to say, however, that rush, flambouyancy, appearance and avoidance cannot run a modern hospital and treat sick patients—mean sick patients. Au revoir. To the Editor: While the Versailles Peace Congress has not accomplished the impossible triumph of eliminating all individual friction and pleasing every nation, yet its efforts and achievements should be commended as the most substantial human production by which to prevent the easy recurrence of future wars. Those who disregard the infallible truths of the Bible for nonsense 3 human opinions are welcomed to their anti-biblical beliefs and consequently erroneous ideas. All through the past ages, from the accumulated analysis of close observers, it is the unanimous conclusion that retribution invariably follows wrong regardless of the extension of time. Retribution is to be the chastising whip of Almighty. Hence, irrespective of the universal sympathy the world exhibited for Belgium yet Belgium stands out with each criminal among Belgium transgressors for the obvious cruelty the Belgians upon the Congo African natives. Notice the Biblical fulfilment. Every drop of human blood drawn by the lash of American slavery was repaid by human blood drawn through the sword in the Civil War. What Belgium sowed in the Congo years ago, the Belgians reaped duly from the hands of the Germans between 1914 and 1918. See Matt VII:2. As the laws as water finds its level of surety of gravitation, so sure will retributive justice be administered to any and all violators of God's command, in spite of any protective barrier with the Congress or any other human agency that must necessarily reaction causes as smoke is traceable to fires. Consequently owing to her just attuious record in the Congo, Belgium should not ask for, nor should she receive a single foot of African territory as mandatory for the League of Nations. And no mandatory power should be allowed to send white officials to Africa to exploit, main, enslave outrage and browbeat the Africans if intelligent colored men can be found to fill the office and uplift their own race and people. This very course will prevent much of the crime and injustice which otherwise will unavoidably be imposed upon the Africans. The Bible warms us to honor our parents that it might be WELL with us. William Hohenzollner unpersulpately and unimpulsively through most potential warmament of modern times, the Bible truths are again manifested in his case, because he is in turn disgraced and degraded and made to carry the enormous bundle upon his back of all the other sovereign's shame and humiliation. The Bible should become the GUIDE of all the Nations because of its truth. D. N. E. CAMBELL, E. Sc. M. D. A WORD FROM A SOLDIER. To the Editor: I, along with my creek company and many other members of the A. E. P., are back home again in the dear old Monumental City. We are glad to get back as folks are to see us back. My regiment, the $551 Transportation Corps, was the pennant winner in France for the best and fastest freight handlers. We were a non-combatant regiment, yet we did our bit by sending food and supplies to the boys before they got the signal to "go over the top." We had our hardships during those hard days of war, but we were on the continent of Europe to do our bit in the great struggle, and as we were men who were capable of doing something important endures aside from the very unpleasant climatic conditions in France, we made the best of our situation and looked forward to better days. The noncombatant troops did not always get the brown biscuit and the well cooked steak, but we did get nutritious food good enough to send Fritz, the United Hue, and far west. Our boys did not fatigue or break down, from the lack of durability. To the French, English, Chinese, Algerians and Portuguese, this durability of the colored man seemed natural, but to his white American brother it seemed marvelous. My motto is and always will be "I love my race better than life itself." Private CHARLES A. SMITH 1523 Barchey street. GRAND JURY TO INDICT ROBINSON. Amuplois, May 15. The Grand jury will meet here tomorrow at 10 a.m. in session to indict James Robinson who confessed to the murder of James Tydings at Robinson station on April 26. According to his confession Robinson admitted that he killed Tydings with a stone. A motive for the crime has yet to be established. Robinson together with three other men, whom he accused at first of complicity in the crime were put together in the Northeastern Station in Baltimore and a distaphone set up in the room to record their conversation. Admissions made to these men led to the confession followed. Amuplois citizens protest against his being in Baltimore and bespeak an early and fair trial in the court.

IN ANNUAL SESSION "There is absolutely no excuse for ignorance in the public," asserted Rev. Dr. K. B. Mehr in calling the 3rd annual session of the Washington and Baltimore annual conference of the Colored Methodist Protestant Church to order at St. John's M. P. Church, Tessier and Orchard streets, Wednesday morning. "I hear a minister sneer at a college education," he continued, "and it pained me. The lines are too momentous for ignorance among those who would be spiritful and leaders." The conference elected the following officers; W. H. Thompson secretary; J. H. Catlin, corresponding secretary; J. L. Williams, statistician; B. H. Knight, treasurer; and Isaiah John, marshal. The closing session will be held Sunday night. AN ARTISTIC SUCCESS Kenneth K.

DING and LODGING Men Only. Refer- required. Apply O Penna. Ave. In the near future the word "Acolian" will be constantly before the public. It was decided at the last rehearsal of the orchestra bearing that name and mention in a previous issue of this paper that the name of the orchestra would be the Acolian Symphony Orchestra. This particular name was selected because of its musical connection. It is taken from the Acolian harp which in its turn derived its name from Acolus, god of the wind. The Acolian harp is an instrument that is played by the wind. Placed in a open window the wind passing thru causes the strings to vibrate causing a most pleasing sort of music. Thompson in the "Castle of Indolence" describes the music of the harp as "such sweet, such sad, such solemn, such arduous." An instrument producing chords by the wind alone, without any interference as the Aeolian Harp, stimulates the fancy and is in itself an attractive phenomenon. We are impressed with it as by a "sweet upbraiding" (Coleridge's Aeolian H.) to be followed as the wind pressure increases by more and more angry notes as we mount to those dissonances of the next higher octave and seem to shrick and bowtill until the abating gust of wind suffers the lower and more harmonies to predominate again. The wind finds in this return a celestial echo as of some devotional antiphon. Aeolian music is nature's music. And so we have named our orchestra 'Aeolian' because it is, our aim to unite man's music with natures music. As yet, the orchestra is in its infancy the membership is still small. It is the aim however, of the organization to have as large a membership as possible. To that end we invite both men and women to join us in our rehearsal at the Y. M. C. A. at 3 o'clock on Sundays. This organization gives something for the young musical students to work for and aspire to. As soon as they become sufficiently proficient they may join the Symphony orchestra. The personnel of the orchestra will be given at a later date.
