their Bly-white attitude. The whole State was amazed when W. Ashlie Hawkins ran as an Independent Republican candidate for the United States Senate. He supported him would have gone straight into the Democratic camp had that party invited them on a manly basis. It is said that some of the Democratic aspirants for office this fall will gladly welcome colored support. New York City is an example where a division of the vote has helped the race, the majority of colored voters supporting the Democrats in city elections. This division was made possible by the Democrats welcoming them on the same basis as other voters.
A. M. E. Conference Opened At Bethel Church Wednesday
Mayor Broening Delivers
Welcome Address And
Hears Some Plain
Talk.
BISHOP REPLIES
Tells City's Head Colored
People Are Not Satisfied
With His Administration
Replying to an address by
Mayor Broening welcoming the
16th annual session of the Baltimore
A. M. E. Conference at Bethel Church Wednesday evening.
Bishop J. Albert Johnson said that the colored people of the city are not satisfied with the way the present municipal administration has treated them.
The mayor had delivered an address, in which he praised the influence of religious bodies. The response of the bishop seemed to please the big audience present, but there was no demonstration. Bishop Johnson is being assisted in presiding by Bishop John Hurst, who spent his entire ministerial career in the Baltimore Conference. Bishop Johnson paid a fine tribute to his colleague. Bishop Charles S. Smith delivered an address of greeting Thursday morning, after which an executive session was held to thresh over some matters, which, it is said, included complaints against several ministers.
In explaining at the opening session Wednesday, the law passed by the last General Conference for the naming of the widows of ministers, not only must the widow remain unmarried, but she must be a member of the A. M. F. Church in good standing in order to be a beneficiary.
"The Baltimore Conference leads all other conferences in the number of widows," he said, "and I have often wondered why the women never die while their husbands do."
The bishop emphasized the need of hard work in the $5,000,000 drive and urged effective work to advance the cause of the church.
The opening sermon was preached by Rev. J. A. Young, of Catonsville, Revs. D. G. Hill, James A. Briscoe, J. G. Martin and Johnson S. Collins, presiding elder, made their reports Wednesday afternoon. Bethel Church, this city, led all churches in the connection in "dollar money" raised, reporting $1,400. All of the other local churches made good reports. Rev. C. M. Tanner reported that Metropolitan Church, Washington, raised nearly $20,000 for all pur-Continued On Page 4 Column 5

11th Ward White Women Believe Many Would Support Democratic Ticket If Urged
MISS McLANE SPEAKS
Says Democrats Would Give Far Better City Government Than Mayor Broening
At the meeting held at the Eleventh Ward Democratic Club to organize the white Democratic worker of the ward Tuesday night Miss Kate M. McLane suggested that efforts be made to get colored women to support the Democratic party. Miss Henrietta Crane agreed with her.
When asked for a statement Wednesday morning Miss McLane told the APKO-AMERICAN. "I have always believed that political divisions should not be along race lines. I am of the opinion that no friction would be if the colored vote were beaten if the colored vote were beaten. I believe that intelligent colored people will support the democratic party if the right appeal is made. I also believe that the Democratic party can better govern the affairs of this city and State. The Colored people have not been treated right by Mayor Breeding, while they contributed largely toward his criticism. We always been deeply interested in the colored people and anything I can do to advance their welfare I am willing to do. What came up at our meeting was only a suggestion, but I hope it will bear fruit. "Distaffished with the administration of Governor Lowden, makes a number of charmed supporters. Walter Smith in No sooner was he elected the Democrats required more promises of friquery to the race and began to scheme on disfellowship. Sufficient voters turned from E. Clay Titusman in and the election of James B. Preston, Democrat, to the mayor of the city, breaking majority in 1915 several thousand colored voters carried him.
The same year colored voters tried against Harry C. Algrie, governor in the Gothic case, and helped to swell the majority of Housed Judecki's Register of Willie Charles S. Seimin and Wm. C. Seimin were both defeated for Congress in the Fourth District in 1909 and 1904, respectively, by colored voters who objected to

PENNA SENATORS DEFEAT EQUAL RIGHTS BILL
Law And Order Committee Kills Measure By A Close Vote Of 8 To 6 On Tuesday
Senator Vare Refuses Amendment And Votes To Have Committee Discharged
Harrisburg, Pa., April 20.—In a bitter fight on the floor yesterday, the Ashbury Equal Fights Bill, making illegal discrimination against colored people in public places, was lost.
After the Law and Order Committee had voted 8 to 6 not to report it out, an attempt was made to discharge the Committee. The attempt was voted down 39 to 9. As speaker In favor of discharging the committee, Senator Sidney said that two of its members Democrats and their peers oblation to the colors of the country. He said the Republican party had such an obligation and that humanity required the passage of the bill. He said that to defeat the bill would be to "place the Mason and Dixon line on the Northern boundary of Pennsylvania and the Southern boundary of New York." He ended by reading the Lord's Prayer and saying that under Christian principles the bill should be passed.
Senator Snyder, of Blair County, said suggestions had been made in committee the bill be amended, but the sponsors had refused.
Senator Vare said amendments had been refused because "we would rather be beaten in good faith than win in bad faith."
Senator Bark launched an attack on Attorney R. R. Vann of Pittsburgh, in which he declared that Mr. Vann was trying to innoculate race hatred into the hearts of his own race. His use of the word "lie" and bitterness of tone, was undoubtedly the worst exhibition ever made in the State Senate.
In reply Senator Vare claimed a question of personal privilege and defended Representative Asbury of Philadelphia who drafted the bill and pushed the fight for passage. He described Mr. Ashbury as "nothing but honesty of purpose from the top of his head to the sole of his feet."

CACKLING HEN WINS APPLAUSE AT HAMPTON
Demonstration Of Ability To Lay Egg Feature Of Institute's Anniversary Exercise
CLASS NUMBERS 82
Ex-President Taft And Miss Nannie Burroughs Among Speakers
Staff Correspondence
Hampton, Va., April 18.—A hen laying an egg before a thousand persons and a Southern Governor discussing the race problem were the two most striking features of the fifty-third anniversary and commencement of Hampton Institute, Thursday and Friday of last week.
Eighty-two persons were presented for diplomas including Miss Grace I. Buchanan of Belair, Md. Exercises preliminary to the anniversary were held on Thursday and addresses were delivered by Dr. Sara A. Brown, class '87, teacher at the Dunbar High School, Washington; Miss Nannie Burroughs, of the National Training School and others. Students demonstrated how to dress and how to judge good laying hens.
In the midst of this last demonstration, during which Lawrence Pouts, who with rule and line who showing the difference between a hen on the platform which laid one egg a day and the other which laid three eggs a week, hen No. 1 laid an egg and by lusty cackling announced this fact to the audience. Apause was deafening.
GOVENOR RICKETT SPEAKS
Former Governor Thomas E. Bickett, (white) of Raleigh, N. C., made the address to the graduating class Friday. The governor said when the white man came to America the Indians numbered millions and now they number a handful because they fought back when they were wronged by the white man. The colored man came to America a handful and graved to millions because he was humble and obedient and made no attempt to avenge injustice. If the Negro stood up against the white man the fate of the Indian would over take him. The former governor also warned the Negro against listening to colored leaders of the North or reading leading newspapers or magazines published by colored people in the North. Ex-Governor Bickett spoke strongly against the Ku Klux Klan and told his audience how he kept it out of North Carolina while governor. He urged his audience to be thrifty declaring that "The Negro who has to get an order from a white man before he can get a sack of meal," or a side of meat, is almost as much a slave as the man who has to get a permit before he can leave his master's land."
Ex-President Howard Taft chairman of Hampton Board of Trustees in his address on the "Discipline of Labor" urged legislation as one means of securing equality of opportunity.

ARE YOU
HAVING HAIR
TROUBLES?
HERES THE ANSWER
Strengthening and enlarging the roots of the hair is one of the real secrets of forcing hair to grow, something has heretofore not been fully realized. Merely stimulating the surface tissue of the scalp will not stimulate the hair growth to the extent desired.
To grow your hair, first see that all dandruff or seborrhea gums are removed. To do this use Dr. Delano's Cocoa-Tar Hair Grower, which will also strengthen the roots and force the hair to grow several inches per month.
Dr. Delano's Cocoa-Tar Hair Grower is made of pure Cocaino Oil and California Pine Tar, and scientifically prepared by a firm whose name has been synonymous with quality first products for more than fifty years. If it fails to remove your dandruff and increase the growth of the hair your druggist will refund your money.
Remember the name "Dr. Delano's Cocoa-Tar Hair Grower," or sale at all Drug Stores.

STATESATTORNEY SAYS RIOTERS ARE NOT KNOWN
STATESATTORNEY SAYS RIOTERS ARE NOT KNOWN
Tells Afro-American That He Is Not Aware Of Any Movement To Bring Disturbers To Justice
DORSEY HOME
Friends Sent Him Railroad Fare To Penna. Where Police Had Taken Him
Charles Henry Dorsey, local man, is home safe again after being taken by officers to Pennsylvania and set free following his acquittal in Frederick Wednesday of last week of assaulting Delisle Tweedale, white, of Catsville, Local friends sent Dorsey carfare with which to return early this week when they learned that he was without funds.
Meantime the Tweedales and their friends who broke up the trial as soon as the verdict was announced, set upon the prisoner beating and scratching him severely, and afterwards followed him and his attorneys out of town with threats of lynching, have returned quietly to their homes, and so far as is known, no move is on foot to punish them for contempt of court or inciting to riot.
When called up over the long distance telephone yesterday, States Attorney Anders, white, of Frederick, told a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN that his office had no knowledge of any intention on the part of the court or the Frederick police to bring the rioters to justice. Mr. Anders added that he was not informed as to the identity of those who caused the disturbance.
Efforts to get in touch with Governor Ritchie who was in the city yesterday failed. The Governor attended the ball game in the afternoon and was guest at a dinner at night. His secretary was unable to say whether or not the Governor intended taking any action in the matter.
Altho the Frederick States Attorney has no knowledge of the persons causing the riot, newspaper reporters declared that Marcus Tweedale, brother of the girl, climbed over the channel rail in the court, beat Dorsey about the face with his fists until the latter cried "murder" at the top of his voice, and tried to escape from the courtroom which was in an uprair.
They also saw Delsie's married sister a Mrs. Rogers draw her fingernails across Dorsey's face, and place her fingers in his mouth trying to distort it. When Mrs. Rogers and her brother-in-law were pulled off by police officers, the latter is said to have picked up an inkwell and thrown it at Dorsey. The missed missed its mark striking clerk of the Court Eli Hough in the face.
Court had not adjourned, and the three trial Judges Worthington, Peter and Urner, who sat in the case and rendered the "not guilty" verdict, left the bench in an effort to quiet the Baltimore County friends of the Tweedales, who tried to break down the guard of detectives and reach Dorsey after he had been taken into the judges' room in the rear. After they failed they took to automobiles and followed Dorsey, who was still in the custody of officers and the attorneys several miles out of the city.
Frederick police, it is said were warned of the demonstration in advance, but failed to take the necessary precautions to meet it. In contradistinction of the lack of activity of the Frederick authorities in the Dorsey case, news dispatches from Savannah, Georgin, last week reported that Judge Meldrim ordered the arrest of 100 colored spectators who cheered in the Superior Court room when Percy Mangum, also colored, was declared "not guilty" of a murder charge.

You are resting in peace dear husband
Three sad years have passed away
You are gone but not forgotten
As I think of you each day
A tear within a sad wife's eye
And too an aching heart,
Can only tell the agony
How hard it is to part.
Dear husband could you speak to me
And could you live again
My aching heart would then be healed
But this I wish in vain.
Your busy hands are folded
Your toll on earth is done.
Your troubles are all ended
By his loving wife.
Your heavenly crown is won.

Dear wife the toll will soon be 0'er.

And my eyes grow dim from
watching
And my heart is sad with pain.
By her heart broken husband.

The depths of our sorrow tongue cannot tell
The loss of a husband I loved so well;
And while he rests in peaceful sleep
His sacred memory we will keep
We do not know the pain he bore.
We did not hear him sigh;
He left us for a little while in other hands to die.
We think of you in silence
No eyes can see me weep.
But many a silent tear is shed.
When others are asleep
Oh! for the smile of that dear face
And the sound of a voice is still
Oh, for the caress of his tender
conbense.

BAPTISTS MAY UNITE
A movement has started to unite the two Baptist ministers' conferences of this city. For a number of years there have been two meetings a coalition took place. The ministers split again about a year ago, and despite efforts on the part of leading spirits in each body to lay a reunion of forces, nothing had done. The present movement to again premiere was started at the United Baptist Ministers' Conference at Union Baptist Church on Monday used to extend an invitation to the Baptist Ministerial Meeting of Baltimore and Vicinity to join with
them.
It is said the invitation was de-
bated at the meeting of the latter
body at Ebenezer Baptist Church
last Monday. The members took
the ground, it is rumored, that the
two bodies must agree to dis-
pose and an entreaty for dis-
position be effected in order that a consol-
ation take place. There are
other matters that will have to be
dead upon, it also appears.

THE LONG ARM OFF FATE
Author of "Cremastances For The Evidence" And Co-author With Laurele Hamilton, Of. "The Curlelessness Of Mary Carey."
We three, Dr. Kyles, the pharmacist, Dr. Thurber, the physician, and I, were discussing a recent marriage in our city. "We'll," concluded the pharmacist, who had related the incident, "that was fate." "I agreed Dr. Thurber, "it certainly was." "Fate?" I asked, and then laughed, "why there isn't any such thing." The physician not, "the physician acquiesced, as he turned to me, that I think I can prove that there is a force which some of us call 'fate,' that directs the lives of some people." "The reason of proof rests with you," he responded.
"For instance," began Dr. Thurber, "when I was connected with a hospital in Adrian, our head nurse became a recent nurse married quite suddenly with our wards almost full of patients. And what made it worse, were a lot of cases of malaria, when we were really hard to secure. But I knew that we must have more nurses. Imagine my joy one morning when a young woman came to me wanting a position in the office. She gave her name as Emma Tyler, and brought good recommendations from different hospitals but did not take time to look these up. But she was very hard to look at. Miss Tyler was what she looked to look at: she was about medium height, plump but not fat, had a round sweet face and clear brown eyes, a deep olive complexion. And one detail one feel that she was back home with his mother. Yet somehow, when alone, she acted anger or at least she seemed to be thinking about something that
"A woke after Miss Tyler came our head nurse recovered and returned to her work. This policed officer the routine of work at the hospital resumed its normal course. The following Friday night about a clock, an accident occurred almost in front of her, to close the street but a car had struck him knocking him unconscious. He was brought to one hospital. "Who he was no one knew. Only a few from these we learned the car had hit the man in the abdomen, knocking him into a sitting position in an attorney out of the him. The driver and the man's legs, knocking the left one. "After we had set the leg or rather dressed it our efforts to

vive him did no good. Then we searched his clothes for something else than a pocketbook full of greetings backs our search proved frirituous. "Will he live, Dr. Thurber?" asked Miss Tylers, and she appeared excited for a few days. I repiled. Her manner somewhat surprised me as she had never shown any evidences of nervousness before. She complained to her, I fear that his spinal column is paralyzed from the contact with the pavement. A few days and he will call. "For five hours I sat by his bed. About 2 o'clock the man moved a little and groaned. I said to Miss Tylers, who had joined me, I hope he comes around before he dies. It's mighty hard for him to go for his Maker without packing. I got no reply. Looking up, I found that the nurse was crying. Why Miss Tylers! I exclaimed. What nothing. Dr. Thurber, she said in the room, looking at the man said. I was just thinking how sweet life is and to think of leaving it like that—
"The patient opened his eye, "Where are I? Why can't I see?" he said. "You are in a hospital, my friend, replied quickly, 'and the light is him.' (But the truth was this: The optic tret was also paralyzed from the shock, yet I didn't know.) "How do you feel?" I inquired, but if the sick man heard me, he made no reply. Then a few minutes after this he said: "What hit me, doctor; you're a doctor, aren't you?" He shook his jaw, "You informed him. The frown that had came upon his forhead passed away." "Oh yes, I remember—I tried to cross the street—saw a car—lights blinded me—attempted to do it—am I hurt much, doctor?"
"Sunday at noon he took more nourishment then tried to talk, but his speech was incoherent. This was a sign that he was ill. I made up my mind to tell him the truth about himself. He was going to die and it was my solemn duty to be this unfortunate man know he might make peace with his God.
"That night about 6 o'clock, he sent for me. 'How goes it this time?' I asked cheerfully, 'not much doctor,' was the reply.
"Too bad, my friend, too bad! All my determination to tell him that he ought to get ready to leave this world left me. It is no easy job.
"My wife alone? he asked me, and he smiled a little querely. I didn't like that smile. I excused Miss Tyler and told her that I would send for her when I needed her.
"Doctor, you've been awful nice to me, he said when we were alone. 'But I feel that my time is just about run on this earth.'"
"Tut, tut, doe," was the interruption. "Of course I didn't exeget you to say so, but you see I've been a physician myself." I must confess that this statement I must confess that this general appearance was that of a gentleman and his clothes were of the best quality. I hardly though he was a brother of raine. He were are surprised, he continued smiling wanely, but that I ought to have told you sooner, but my mind hasn't been this earlier since that night I met with that accident. Say Doe, who was I told him that the authorities had never found out, as those in the car had never shown up nor had they ever stopped so far as we knew. It's right kind of you not to tell me that I'm blind. You see, the man went on. I figured it out Saturday when I woke up. I could hear the noise of the city, but I couldn't see. Then I realized that the shock had paralyzed my quite
"I said nothing for I was too surprised to speak, and if I could have spoken I would have had nothing to say.
"Yes, I replied, placing my hand on his head.
"I want you to listen to me for a few minutes and let me talk and what I want to say to you. I would have given all that I have in this world a few days ago if I could have told it to the one woman in this world who has done wrong. She should be woman in it. I thought. But about I said: "Whatever you wish me to do I will only be too glad to oblige you."
About six years ago, the man went on. I was a preexisting physician in the city of Sanford—I had a good practice and was making a lot of money. I had a sweet wife but in rush for the coin I was given. Do you know that a woman wants the companionship of her husband as much after their marriage as before: If every man would be grounded in marriage after after before marrying there would be less trouble.
"Well, you know how it turned out. A friend of the family took my wife in her place only to find that my wife and my friend left the town. The wives for me to tell you how I felt on learning this. But I will my that I wove away from that town as soon as I could.
"My father died in the mean time and had left me well supplied with this world's goods, so I decided to travel to travel to forget. But could not. From there to he gay and forget, but what was the use? None. One day I met a man and told him my story. What do you suppose he said? What do you suppose he said? And when he got through I thanked God I had met him. He showed me that I had neglected Flosse, my wife, work, which I never knew knowledge short. To make a long story short, I determined to find Flosse and make amends. Do you think it is strange, that I say I am neglected amends, that I say I am never really like I have you will know that a man can see all his mistakes

SILVER OFFERING
after he and the one he has loved have parted. I remembered often that Elise had requested me to take all the little things that I had done came back to me as I made up my mind to find her.
"But I soon found that was dangerous," Before our marriage, my wife had been a nurse, and only in extremely dangerous cases during my practice did she nurse. So I knew that if she had been hurt, why she would naturally be found working at her profession.
"From town to town, city to city I went. Here and there I would find out they and they had been hurt. I was going to search her now. So I began my search over again. Hospital to hospital, in city to city, I hunted and as before, over the river, I had been there, and that was all. My search led me to this town, and you know what happened to me. Here the man paused as the effort to tell
heart this man had. Here was a man that had been wronged, and yet he had met his doom in an attempt to adjust matters between himself and the one who had injured him. He was talking again;
do not. If she does, notify my lawyers, whose address you will find sewed in the lapel of my wife, and want to die with that on my mind. My name is Elizabeth Taylor. Notify my lawyers and they will defray all expenses. "You keep what you want to die with in your purse for your trouble with me." "But why, I asked him, 'did I in desecrate all evidences of your identity?' well, doctor; was the weary reply, 'what good would any means of identification be?' I have always been a little eccentric in my life. I never arrive at a new city I let my lawyers know of my whereabouts. Also, they've been in my relatives all that I have. In the event that they do not hear from me in a given length of time. Would you the last of my people. Would you the last of my doctor, that I've changed a lot in these last five years? I once were a heard when I started my search for my wife. But what way have I of recognizing your wife? I asked.
"I'm my purse you will find a small pocket," he informed me. "In that pocket is a pocket that contains a photo of my wife. Doc, I'm getting deaf. I can't hear my own voice good. You tell Eloise that I forgave her and I am going before my God with a clear conscience—that's all—and his voice went off into a moan.
"At my request, Miss Tylers joined me, and sitting by the white bed of the sick man, we saw him pass on to his Creator."
"The next morning I told Miss Tylers enough of the dead man's story to satisfy her curiosity," he said to her, let's find the pocket.
Here Dr Thurber paused to light in a charioteer.
"You see, my dear friend," praised the physician, "when Miss Tiers and I found the jacket and omen it she found. For those in the jacket and that of Miss Tiers were the same."

On the 10th of December 1912,
Dr. Gates filed a bill for absolute divorce against his wife in the Circuit Court of Allegany County. After he had secured the same however, his divorce was set aside by the Court in behalf of his wife on technical grounds. Dr. Gates then came to Baltimore and secured a firm of able lawyers to institute a divorce for him here, he was again defeated in his purpose by his wife and gave the matter up until a few months ago, when he again instituted proceedings in the Circuit Court No. 2 through Lawyer Roy S. Bond, to which bill of complaint, his wife filed a cross-bill on which an absolute divorce in favor of Mrs. Gates was granted Tuesday.

CORNISH—In loving remembrance of my husband, Levi H. Cornish, and my son, Leo V. Cornish, who fell asleep April 17, and
The only link death cannot sever is love and memory which live forever:
No sorrow there is yonder clime. Beyond the troubled waves of time no dreary nights, no weeping eyes. Ah, who would dwell forever here. No aching hearts, nor broken ties. Away from Him whose wondrous love.
Away from those we hold so dear: Prepares us for a home above! A little while our watch to keep. A little while to wake and sleep. To bear the cross, endure the pain. And then with Christ forever reign O perfect rest O calm repose. Where life's clear stream in beauty flows.
And we can sing without a care.
No sorrow there, no sorrow there.
By their wife and mother.

SALE OF STOCK NOW BEING OFFERED IN THE DOUGLASS AMUSEMENT CORP.
S. P. CHAMBERLAIN, Secretary ANDREW F. STEVENS, Treasurer
The response made by the people of Baltimore to this unusual offer indicates their faith in the accomplishment of this huge undertaking and the ultimate benefits it will bring them in the way of dividends and profits
BANK OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The Douglass Theatre
Now under construction on Pennsylvania avenue near Lanvale street.
When the Half-Million Dollar Dunbar Theatre at Broad and Lombard Streets, Philadelphia, opened last December, several of Baltimore's prominent citizens were present.
All of them were very lavish in their praise of the beautiful theatre, and were all agreed that it was the handsomest theatre in the United States owned and controlled by colored people. And the request was made on that evening that a duplicate of the Dunbar Theatre be built in the City of Baltimore.
The management at once began investigating conditions in Baltimore, and were quickly convinced that a first-class theatre in the "Monumental City" would be not only an asset to our people there, but would become a big money-maker from the very start.
With that thought ever foremost, we began quietly looking for a suitable location for the theatre, and famally found what, in our opinion, is the best location for a colored theatre in the city. This site is on Pennsylvania Avenue between Lanvale Street and Lafayette Avenue.
It is the desire of the company that the stock be distributed among a large number of investors, rather than be held by a few large buyers of securities, and for this reason the price of shares has been put at a price at which even the smallest investor may get in on this proposition.
Colored theatres are no longer an experiment. In every city where a first-class theatre has been erected, success has attended the venture. The character of the performances which will come to the Douglass theatre will be of the same order as the attractions which have been playing in the Dunbar in Philadelphia and the Lafayette in New York with such wonderful success.
Here is an opportunity for Baltimore colored people to cash in on the experience which has been gained in the operation of this now famous chain of colored theatres, which is constantly growing in number and importance throughout the country. The facts are here presented in a plain, simple manner. If you are interested in the development of the race along cultural lines, here is your opportunity to do your part in bringing about this condition. Invest in the Douglass Amusement Corporation stock, and help to make the Corporation a success and a distinct asset to the race.
THE SITE—of this magnificent theatre (now in course of construction) is on Pennsylvania avenue between Lanvale street and Lafayette avenue, and is the best location for a building of this kind, anywhere in the city.
THE GROUND was purchased for cash—there are no mortgages or ground rent—such is our faith in the possibilities of Baltimore as a theatrical money-maker and we have already commenced the building of the theatre.
THIS THEATRE will cost four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) and will be as beautiful as the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia.
THAT THE colored people of Baltimore may have the opportunity of having a theatre of their own, and at the same time share in the profits, we have organized the Douglass Amusement Corporation, incorporated under the laws of Maryland and Capitalized for $500,000.
THE FACT that the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia under the same guidance has been able to pay a dividend of 8% during the first year of its operation should prove conclusively to anyone that this latest venture will pay handsome Dividends to the investor.
IT SHOULD NOT be necessary to present any greater arguments in favor of purchasing this stock than the fact that the building is now being erected and the personnel of the management of the Corporation.
IF YOU ARE interested in the Race to the extent of desiring a theatre or theatres where yourself or family can go freely and see the finest Broadway productions presented by capable artists, investment in the Douglass Stock will make this possible.
IF YOU ARE interested most of all in putting a show on the
THE RESPONSE which has come to the efforts of the Corporation thus far has been highly gratifying. Baltimore has rallied grandly to the idea of a theatre for our people and owned by our people.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT! THIS ISSUE OF STOCK IS LIMITED
Do not let tomorrow find you undecided what to do.
Delay may mean another lost opportunity over which you may have many regrets.

For Banner Season
The track squad of the high school kids, already opened its season in preparation for the coming meets that are to be held this year through the state and other cities.

None but school boys are running that day and you have a big chance to win a prize, best because you are the only ones who are running and second, there are to be twelve prizes to be awarded. They are Gold for first, Silver for second, and Ten bronze models for third. Then run them third to twelve, let every man try, who thinks he can run, as our old friend Carl Johnson says to his teams and followers of the sport.
We have with us the Master Hudibolph Rhoeas who is a freshman this year. He will be seen in the short dishes and relays as we all know he has a twin brother who is still in the grammar school who is studying hard so we will be able to win. He points out that when that pair get together on the track they just make things hum, they seem to be just natural born runners.
Another good prospect is Chamney Walker who will be seen in the distance run and relay. He has been showing very good form. His running mate, James Richardson, has been showing up to train him just a little surface, if he does not it will mean that Chamney will out point him in his out of town champs.
This year he also has bought Herbert Nelson and William Martin for the long distance squad. Where are they, out on secret rung or are they stage wightened? We have been that Samuel Martin is out of the morning despite his third training when no one is looking in him. Much success. You can add ten.

Chicago, Ill., April 22—The official opening of the Negro upon May 1st, at all points along that last 1st, at all points along the circuit. There will be many exhibition games staged by all the clubs before the official opening, no no bearing upon the length results.
No provisions are provided for the Hildahl Club in this particular location two parties in and around Philadelphia, which will be used by the Hildahl club for exhibition games until the Jacobsen Clams return from their western trip, and the Hildahl Club will swing around the Easter circuit.
The Cleveland park could not be placed in the schedule, so games played at that City in the early exhibition will go down in the exhibition.
All the clubs will swing into action with complete line-ups, and there are many new faces in the personal, both as to players and managers. The prospects for a continual campaign never appear more bright.

"MUM" IS THE WORD WITH KID WORTOLK
Local Light Heavyweight Champion Has Nothing To Say Of $2,500 Gift To Irish
SIGNS CONTRACT
Will Put In Time Preparing Dempsy For Battle With Carpentier
New York, April 21. Is Kid Norfolk, Light heavyweight prize fighter, whose home is in Saltimons, using his own head or is he sitting on his white manager Leo 15. Flynn?
Despite the fact that Norfolk has been censured in the coloured press for his gift of $2,500 to the relief fund to feed Ireland's poor children, the prize fighter has nothing to say.
When Norfolk gave more than all of the other prize fighters, white or colored, to the relief fund following a boxing match in Madison Square Garden, some of the spelling writers concluded him that "charity begins in home." A New York newspaper writer recalled that he had given nothing to any of the charity drives for colored men immigrated in New York and that Norfolk's mayor had then pursued. Dispute these citizens' Norfolk steadily retreated to huge gay reply to newspaper writers and says he has nothing to say. A correspondent of the AFRICAN AMERICAN who asked for a statement for these columns received no response.
The only word that can be gleaned from Norfolk's headquarters is Madison Summer Gardens is that he has signed a contract to train Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion for his timing fight with George Hewitt. This is an unprecedented another surprise in boxing circles because only last year Dempsey's colorado surrogate partner, Jamaican Kid, was let go because he hit the champion too hard. Dempsey wants to develop speed, and for that reason he has picked out Norfolk who is not getting around the ring and a master of his art. This Norfolk will talk but, unseen his gift to the relief fund begging to play at all.

In Schools 109 & 118
Endorsed by Superintendent West, and backed by the unanimous support of the principals, boys of the public school have entered the school with the goal to form a base ball league. Entry blanks were put into the hands of the principals by Mr. John R. Clark of the Athletic League last week, and a representative who visited this week, reports there will be at least one team from each school and one from the larger schools. Schools presided over by the women principals show just as much interest as the others.
School. 109 of which Miss Annie Waters is principal, and 118 of which Mr. George W. Biddle is principal, got the jump on the others Tuesday, by having the honor of being the first to get in their entry blanks. Each school sent in a blank with the names of twenty boys to be out done by the schools in old town, the Arlington School at Denmore and Patapsac avenues, has declared its intention of putting one team in the League. In order to get the boys in shape for their coming games, Mr. Clark announces that a representative of the League, an old ball player, will be at the playgrounds to offer the necessary help every day, next week to give the boys a good practice and workout. From 2:30 on school days, from 2:30 on Saturdays, from 2 to 6 P. M. Youngsters who need coaching will do well to be on hand at Drulid. Hill Park playgrounds.
Here is what some of the principals say about the League proposition: Mr. William Anderson, School 101. "I think it one of the best things ever in the schools." Mr. William Lee, 103. "It is a real fellow's game." Mr. John Woodhouse, 105. "One of the greatest things ever happened." Mr. George Owens, 106. "Boys are full of enthusiasm over the idea." Daniel Creditt, 08. "Great thing. Miss Jill Waters, 105. Great idea." Mr. William Meabee, 110. "One of the best things ever happened in the public schools." Mr. George Murphy, 112. "Boys are all anxious to begin work." Mr. Gross, 115. "I will encourage the boys as much as possible." Mrs. Mary Rodman, 116. "I am as much interested in the organization as the boys." Mr. George Biddle, 118. "Our entry blanks are in." H. Grafton Boyd, 102. "We are the losers or boys are too small, only the 6th grade." Mr. Joseph Lockerman, 100. "It is a game of much interest to boys."

Protest Lodged Against Garage
Hill Street Residents Say It Would
Be In Same Block With Church
Residents of the 100 block of West Hill street are up in arms because of the proposal to turn the building at 102 into a garage. The place was formerly occupied as a saloon. Following the killing of Dorothy Champion there by her husband a few months ago the police kept such a street watch on the house that the proprietors sold the business. A petition was signed by residents this week. The protesters point out that the proposed garage is directly opposite the home of Rev. J. H. Dorsey, in charge of St. Monica's Catholic Church; but a few doors from the church and near the Hill street school. The Parent-Teacher Club of the Hill street school, Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, who lives in the block and lives in the church, be among the protesters. The School Board may also lodge a protest.
"It is almost unthinkable," said Father Dorsey, "that a garage should be located in this block. Here are located a church, a large house, a large number of fine people. We intend to fight the matter."
ORGANIZATIONS ARE AGAINST COMPROMISE
Citizens' Committee And Preachers' Meeting Demand Trial Of Feldenheimer Case
"We are not old never have been in favor of a compromise of the Feldenheimer case." George Wingate, chairman of the Citizens' Committee announced today.
The very fact that Feldenheimer is willing to offer $500 for a compromise is only a further evidence that he admits his guilt of the charge of assisting little Esther Shore. The Citizens' Committee have collected by public meetings, churches, and elsewhere $115.68. $75 of this amount has been paid to Attorney J. H. Payne, $10.50 for advertising and $1.00 for sexson's services, making a balance of $29.18 in hand.
Members of the committee include W. F. Bevans, W. J. Smith, J. W. Martin, Alexander Date, J. R. L. Diggs, J. O. Custis, M. W. White, B P. Dixon, S. L. Burton, treasurer; Mrs. M. Miner, T. K. Brown, Jr., W. S. Langley, vice president.
The A. M. E. ministers at their weekly meeting Monday passed a resolution declaring itself against any form of compromise in the Feldenheimer case. Ministers urged that the offer of $500 made by Feldenheimer through Attorney William C. McCard be turned down.
Because of the objection of the Citizens' Committee to compromise it is likely that the State's Attorney will proceed to prosecute Feldenheimer in the very near future.

One night In AUanta, jnst hefore John
Williams was put on trini on o. charge of
murdering Negro peons on jhis farm in
Jasper County, T sat listening to the story
of Addison Fuller, an old colored farmer.
He had fied to the elty leaving brhind wire
and children and all possessions, He had
come after a deliberate attempt had heen
made to enslave him, to foree him, after
imprisonment and brntal beating, to worl
off an entirely fictitious debt to a white
planter; and dtter a white man had tried
to seduce his wife, ‘The story came ont

Fuller told the sheriff after the capture that

Tt was almost an unbelievable tate this

A story which Mustrates the diMentty of

Government, from his own exact knowledge,
ag follows: In December of 1920 a. Negro,
farmer found h:imselt penniless, his crop
seized by his landlord against a debt Ure
Jandiord claimed was due, The Negro
escaped {9 another county and took new
employment. He was pursued with war-
rants on charges of swindling ana cheating.
This is an expedient often employed against
Negro eons who escape. The Negro was
convected, but his fine was pald by a white
man for whom he went to work, ‘The first
employer then sought out the new one and
claimed the Negro owed him money. ‘The
new employer agreed to liquidate the debt,
but. before he could do so the Negro was
sechaed at night, carried 2 mile from his
cabin, tied to a tree, and shot, ‘The body
was in plain view next doy. ‘There is no

where, and there is talk of excluding him

would really do great karin to certain other
movements, of the American Negro, of
which thes ave far more atrald than they
will ever be of an attack upon Atrlea., Tt
is like sniticary trickery: they hoped - by
directing attention to what they think Is a
futile attack upon AFRICA, that they will
thereby divert energy from what they fear
fone hundvedfold more: the attack upon the
Varbarisms of ‘Texas, the slave systems of
Georgia and the Cannthalisms of Arkansas,
‘And new they show their veal hand by
making suggestions to "keep Garvey out,"
and they expect the rest of as Negroes to

at this stage of the scheme. We won't do
it, We will rather fight for Garves’s right
‘as a citizen of the world and as a property

WEST VIRGINIA PASSES ANTI-LYNCHING BILL

WEST VIRGINIA

Any County Permitting Mob
Violence Must Pay
Victim's Family
$5,000
CAPEHART LAUDED
Colored Member Of Legisla ture Drew Up Bill That Is Now Before Governor
Charleston, W. Va., April 18. Subjecting the county to a forfeiture of $5,000 for the benefit of the family of the person lynched and making participation in a mob a felony punishable with death, both houses of the West Virginia legislature have approved the most stringent anti-lynch bill thus far enacted by any of the states. The bill now goes to the Governor for his signature.
H. J. Capheart, the colored member of the House of Delegates from McDowell County, drew and sponsored the measure in the lower branch, overcoming the most determined opposition of the Democratic minority which sought to emasculate it by proposing various amendments. As originally drawn, the bill provided for a forfeiture of $25,000 and made every county through which the mob might pass jointly and severally liable. To meet the objections of many of his party members and secure their support, Capheart reduced the amount to $5,000 and limited the forfeiture to those counties whose citizens might aid and abet the lynchers.
Other legislation of particular benefit or interest to the race has been enacted or is pending with every prospect of favorable action. Bills creating an industrial school for colored boys and an industrial home for colored girls, introduced by Delegate Nutter, will have become laws before this gets into print, as is true of the measure establishing a bureau of Negro welfare and statistics. The proposal to segregate colored passengers on railways, disguised by its Democratic author under the deceptive title of "A bill to provide for the comfort of passengers" was beore the committee just long enough to pass a motion indefinitely postponing its consideration. The full crew bill, designed to dispense with the services of colored railway porters, met a similar fate.

FARMERS
So-called clover-timothy seed mixtures, which are widely advertised by certain seed first at what may appear to be attractive prices, often contain so little alpine or red clover that they are of little, any, more value than timothy seed, but actually cost only double the market price of that seed, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. These mixtures are usually offered by bushel, followed by the guilting statement that a bushel weighs only 45 pounds.
In other words, this seed is offered as clover and timothy with the claim that the different seeds occur in the proper proportions for seeding, while frequently there is not more than 5 or 6 per cent of clover present—not enough to be of any value to the farmer or person who buy mixed seed can not be too careful to learn the exact proportion of the mixtures they get and the quality of the seed composing them. Otherwise, they are likely to pay an exorbitant price for seed that will not give the crop wanted.
Do not plant potatoes too deep, 4 inches being about the proper depth, so that the surface almost and see that there are no clods, stones, or pieces of sod directly over the hills. Potatoes are one of the first garden crops to plant in the spring, and it is safe to put the seed in the ground two or three weeks before the date of the last heavy frost.
Commercial fertilizers give good results for growing potatoes, especially if the fertilizer contains potash as potatoes require more potash than is usually present in the soil. Fertilizer manufacturers mix special brands for potatoes and these are generally rather rich in potash. How much fertilizer to use with potash upon the fertility of the soil, but, as a rule, $8 pounds to each 100 feet of row will be about right.
Arsenate of lead is the best known and most extensively used stomach poison for insects, a wider range of usefulness than has any other internal poison now available. It is also for use on the foliage of most plants, has good adhesive qualities, and owing to its fineness, remains in suspension well in water.

A Remarkable Story Of Adventure
FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1921
By Mark Whitnmark (Copyright 1921, by W. M. Kelley)
---
James Tyson, pursued by a mob set on lynching him, is tracked by boulders to the river and, by walking in the water a mile, spotted in throwing the hounds of his trail. From the boulders under the bridge leading to Crackerville to the Potter's bed, Tyson saw the posse searching for him. He also saw a crew of men dragging the river for his drowned body. Unable to stand the strain any longer, Tyson crawled out of his hole under the bridge, up the岸 and was on the verge of committing suicide, by throwing himself into the water, when he was overtaken by a dead-wagon returning from the Potter's Field.
---
CHAPTER FOUR
Had Fred Logan, driver of the "dead wagon" belonging to the coiled undertaker of Crackerville, in which was the body of the living dead man, moved to the building taking place that moment in the town, he would have hesitated before returning, it is hard to tell what he would have done. Anyway, he would effortlessly be brought by the sheriff and his posses to ind Tyson, and, resuming his seat on the wagon, drove on toward town.
About a mile from the bridge Logan passed two men, armed with rifles, who it appeared were guarding the road. He remembered to the Potter's Field earlier in the evening. As his galloping horse passed him, he heard one of the men yell:
"We'll have Jim in that wagon, yet."
That's where the way to the potter's field ended the river.
to be now?" yelled the other. "The human mind is a missile, a missile. Fact is, he had hardly recovered from the shock caused by seeing Tyson creeping on the bridge. A little further down the road he found a stop and sat motionless on his seat for a full minute. Not a sound came fro m his friend in the wagon. "Wonder if he's dead." Logan thought, which suggestion made him quake with fear. "I don't understand certain death to Logan if Tyson was discovered in his wagon."
If dead, what could he do with his body. If alive, where could he hide him.
Sanding upright on the foot of Tyson, Raised the seat on the hinges and felt around in the dark hole until his hand touched Tyson's head.
"Hun! Jim!" he whispered. Tyson did not answer. Did not even sit.
"My God! he's dead! I muttered the startled driver.
quickly letting his knees insend of his feet rest on the foot, and then placed his right hand over Tyson's heart. In an instant he withdrew his hand with a jerk, just as he would have done.
It must not be inferred by Free Logan's actions that he was afraid of the dead; for he was not. Now thirty-five, he had worked for Sotheby's and was the fifth. During all time he had seen or handled the corpse of every colored person who died in Lee County. And... he had handed the remains to the police to be taken to the police. Alone, and at night, he had cut down iron trees and lop-ops, the bodies of the victims of mob violence. Once or twice what remained after the mournings may get the police to reinforce adjustment, wrapped up in a piece of burlap. Those incidents rapidly recurred to Logan's mind; who knew too well, what could happen to him, what could happen to him, what could happen to him, the act of using Tyson
Putting himself together, he again pressed his shaking hand to Tyson's heart and held it there. Yes, there was a taut band quickly drew a leak containing some whiskey from his pocket, and raising Tyson's head a little and causing him at the same time, poured a mixture of the liquid into his mouth. Tyson again pressed the bottle to his lips and secreted in getting him to take a drink of the stimulant.
"Jim! Jim!!" he whispered in his car.
"bury up and kill me!" he nattered. Tyson chaining out of his echnum.
"Don't be afraid, Jim. I'm Fred Fred Longan. I'm get you something to eat, sow as I can. Keep as quiet as a mouse. There's a bottle of whiskey in it. I drop you someone to eat under the seat soon's we get in town."
"Town! What town? Cracker-tile! they'll surely get me to take me back to town. How long?"
"There's no other place I can
take you now, Jim. They think
you were drowned. They dragged
you to the water. Just 'you' lay,
and plunge."
Quickly letting down the seat, he packed up the ropes and headed for the street. The undertaking parlor of Samuel Critchow was located in the heart of the business district of the colored section, on the corner of the street. A gas street lamp stood directly in front of it. Mr. Critchow, a man of many skills, was the only colored man in the country; and was possibly the best known colored man in Critchow. His business was in the room building abutting the stairway. An old worn, porteried stretched across the centre of the room, concealed the operating room, and was passively Mr. Critchow, with a corn cob pipe in his mouth, be seen taking to his friend Bryan Stephan. Dr. Benjamin Hunt, a professor of his life in Critchow, wandered where Fred can be? Questioned Critchow, looking at the big time-piece over his desk.
WORKER SAYS JIM-CROW RULES BALTIMORE P.O.
Ignoring the query, Dr. Hunter bibble a puff of smoke from his cigar. "Heard anything about Tyson?"—asked the doctor, changing the subject. "No." Not a word. "Think he got away?"
"Hardly! Where could he go? Poor follow, he's most likely dead, because we're dragging for his body today."
Both old men sat silent. No doubt, they were think of other members of their race who had offered up their lives in defence of the monkey. "Guess I'd better turn in, Sam," said Dr. Hunter rising and breaking the monotony.
"I'm going in, too, soon as Fred back," said Critchlow, again booking in. "Hello, what's all this?" calculated the doctor, opening the door. The searching party, about two hundred strong, had arrived and was quietly distributing itself every house, front and rear. Up Market street, the sheriff could be seen with a few picked men entering, one by one, every store, offices and dwelling on the street. Sculpted by the beauties, Joe Simpson and Abe Michaelson, were doing the same thing on the lower end of Market street and High street.
"Goody! There's Fred," said Critchlow as he recognized his wagon.
Logan hated his horse in front of the office, chambered down from his seat, crossed the sidewalk and walked to the door. "Where the devil have you been so long, Fred? I've been waiting for you nearly an hour." Traversing the small room, Logan flopped down into a chair and nothing. "They need to get Tyson to again, I suppose," put in the doctor.
"My God: !!!—excitedly exclaim-Logan, jumping up from his seat. He's in the dead house." (The New York)

The article published in the APHO-AMERICAN two weeks ago regarding alleged unfair conditions against the colored employee encounter in the local Post office service has aroused comment. Colored men in the service can away when approached about the story, but serveral claim they have to submit to prejudicial conditions.
A man purporting to be a colored employee, called up the APHO-AMERICAN the other day and said that the article minimized rather than overstated the situation. He refused to give his name, saying his job would be jeopardized thereby.
The colored employees have been smarting under the treatment received," he said over the telephone, "and now that you have been fit to publish something, I want to say the surface has just been scratched. The whole truth would make most interesting reading.
"For instance, How about a separate lunchroom for colored employees and a separate section of the bookers?
"How about clerks being forced to do laboring work and clerks being forced to study filing cases and not being allowed to file mail?
"How about intelligent colored men being forced from the service when the government was crying for help during the war? This is not all, the discrimination snails rank to high heaven. It should be investigated."

Tride To Steal Lafayette Players
(By Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Ill., April 21 (Special)
-Chicago drama lovers were given the shivers last week by the rumors of a break-up of the famed lafayette Players company. These fears, however, have been alayed by the authentic announcement that the Quality Amusement Company, of which E. C. Brown, the Philadelphia Banker is the head, and the Syndicate of Negro banking interests behind it, stood ready to go to the limit with their moral and financial backing to the end that this be kept largest and in perfect workgroup of famous performers shall order for the pleasure of the theater-going public.
It is true that the Quality Company has no theater in Chicago at this time. Its contest will be with the company expressed on the 15th of this month and they have bluntly refused to renew the agreement. Not only have they refused to renew, but they have put forth strentuous efforts, it is asserted, to break into the ranks of the Players for their own selfish benefit. Happily, this phase of the company has been completed. Laura Bowman, Ida Anderson, Susie Sutton, and the others of the more capable members of the company decide to attend the affairs, to stick loyalty to the Quality Amusement Company.

Lung Base Treatment Cures Tuberculosis In First And
I was sick for years. As a white man it was natural for me to go to white doctors. And I went to the hospital in Baltimore. Another doctor said something about my illness. I tried hospitals. They did me no good, and I grew worse all the time. A friend I drew on for advice, Dr. David N. E. Campbell, the Lung and Nerve Specialist, 1369 North Carey Street. At first I hesitated, but I finally went to the hospital. I laughed and said he was sorry for me. He told me things about my complaint no other physician had ever touched upon. He has treated me and made praises to me. He was a street car conductor. Since then, he has cured my friend's four year old son Harry, who had convulsions and he could now has no more spasms and is running about. The parents are delighted and think Dr. Campbell is one out of hundreds. He has done me wonders, and I am not afraid to tell it.

Doctor's Wife Did Stop At White "Y.W."
Nevertheless Prominent Society Matron Wins $500 Damages In Libel Suit Against "Observer"
ASKED $10,000
Witnesses From New York And Washington Put On Stand During Trial
Following a two-day trial, a jury in the City Court brought in a verdict last Friday for $500 damages for Mrs. Fannette Penn, wife of Dr. A. B. Penn, an Alexandria, Va. physician, in her suit for $10,000 for alleged libel against Arthur Bragg, George Thomas and Cincinnatus Majors, editors of the Observer, a monthly publication.
Mrs. Penn took umbrella at a story published in the Observer some months ago, in which allegation was made that she passed for white in downtown New York associating with white men and went with her own race in Harlem. The alleged incidents occurred during a visit that the plaintiff made to New York City in September, 1919.
Alleged visits by Mrs. Penn to the Hotel McAlpin were told of in the magazine and denied by Mrs. Penn, who declared that the article was the cause of increasing her domestic difficulties. She was accompanied there by others, including the wife of a prominent New Yorker, it was chimed.
Attorney Ephraim Jackson, who took up the defense of the editors when Attorney J. Steward Davis dropped out of the case at the eleventh hour, elicited from, Mrs. Penn. The fact that she had stayed at the white Y. W. C. A. during the New York. Mrs. Penn can easily pass for white. W. Ashbie Hawking represented Mrs. Penn.
Felix Weir, well known New York violinist, was one of the witnesses for Mrs. Penn. He testified that she had been entertained by his wife in Harlem, and that he considered the plaintiff to be a woman above reproach. The name of Mrs. Weir had been dragged into the case as one of those who accompanied the Washington woman to the swell Hotel McAlpin. Mrs. Naomi Lee, of New York, and Wm. Green, a real estate agent of that city, also testified for Mrs. Penn. Mr. Green said he had taken the plaintiff to public places in Harlem, but was always accompanied by others. Attorney Thomas Walker of Washington, testified that he was the plaintiff's uncle. He said Mrs. Penn was a child of his sister and that her maiden name was Walker.
Mrs. Penn denied that her actions had been otherwise than that of a lady while in New York and asserted that the publication had injured her by casting reflections upon her character.
She admitted that she had been estranged from her husband before she went to New York, on account of his alleged attentions to a Mrs. Quander. Other witnesses were: Mrs. F. M. H. Murray, Mrs. Effe Robertson of Alexandria, and John E. Collins of Washington.
Arthur Bragg was the only person placed on the stand for the Observer.
The jury deliberated for more than an hour. George W. Winston, of Pressman street, was the only colored juror.
This is the first time damages have ever been awarded against a colored publication in Maryland.

Committee Of Twenty-five
To Push Project
Music was spilled all over the sixteen hundred block of McCulloch Street Wednesday afternoon, and a crowd of several hundred persons gathered to witness the spectacle. What actually happened was that the rope by which a moving company was lifting a baby grand piano to the second floor of the twisting at 1618 occupied by Wm. Harris suddenly broke precipitating the instrument to the sidewalk in feet below. Luckily no one was injured. The thud with which the piano struck and broke the marble steps sounded like the rumbling of an earthquake to neighbors, who to the door to see what was the trouble. Marble columns on the steps were broken like match sticks and splinters of the demolished piano were thrown for fifty feet.

The necessity of modern quarters for the Colored High School were urged at a mass meeting of 409 citizens at Bethel A. M. E. Church last Friday night. The president Taylor, an alumnus, presided.
Mrs. Donald R. Hooker, white-suited, made a strong plea for a new building, asserting that colored boys and girls should have the best of educational facilities. Dr. H. S. McCard ripped the accommodations provided for students at the school and published their findings in the mortality among colorful pupils in the city school is greater than that of whites because insignificant conditions. W. Ashley Hawkins made a ringing appeal for new quarters, asserting that Baltimore is woefully behind St. Louis, Washington, Kansas City and other communities in providing modern high school facilities for its colored youth. George Sumner Whyte, president of the High School Alumni Association, also urged a new building.
The resolutions adopted stated that the building used by the Colorado High School is "adolescent, insanitary and impracticable for the public," and that the presses used upon the Public Improvement Commission and the Mayer and City Council to take the necessary steps to remedy the situation. A committee of 25 persons was appointed Monday to present the resolutions.
