Beckw Assistant Co Couns IN A CLEAR CUT LEGAL OPIN DLERS. HE DECLARES, THAT "THEY RIGHT TO YELL AND SHE VOICES." AT ALL HOURS OF THE "DAY CORPORATION COUNSEL WILL ABLE ASSISTANT MR. B COMMENDED FOR STAND RESPECT. IT IS THE DUTY OF ALL GOOD ING TO PREVENT THE MUCH NOISE WHILE SE THEIR DECAYED FRUIT AND UNSANITARY PRODUCTS EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO GO INTO THE MUNICIPAL C TO THE FULLEST EXTEN John W. Beckwith, assistant corporation counsel, the first of this week rendered an able opinion in which he completely knocks out the noisy peddlers, which is right and timely, for seemingly the great majority of the peddlers have not the slightest regard nor consideration for the rights of other people and they delight in making all the noise they possibly can at all hours of the day and night, in shouting out at the 'op of their voices in bad english, their decayed fruits and other no account truck for sale. The opinion sets forth the fact that: "Peddlers, although licensed by the city to travel about the streets, have no more right to shout their wares than the proprietor of a grocery store has to howl his goods in front of his place of business, or the owner of a hardware shop to call attention to his place by the ringing of a fire gong." "To amend the anti-noise ordinance aimed to exempt licensed peddlers from the provisions of the law. To permit them to engage in vocal advertising while forbidding other noises would constitute class legislation that would be held invalid by the courts." It is further contended by Mr. Beck with that to permit the noisy peddlers to do as they please in this regard would permit them and all other dealers in all kinds of merchandise to PUBLIC MONEY MUST BUILD TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITALS. In spite of the fact that state sanatoria and hospitals for tuberculosis have been established in 31 states, and 114 municipal or county hospitals in 26 states, vastly more public provision is needed to stamp out consumption, says the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in a bulletin issued today. Every state East of the Mississippi River except Vermont, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi, and Illinois have provided state sanatoria. In Vermont, a private sanatorium is partially used as a state institution, and in Florida, an indefinite provision for such a hospital has been made. The states west of the Mississippi River which have established state sanatoria are Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Oregon. There are 33 sanatoria provided by these state. Connecticut having three, Massachusetts four, Pennsylvania, three, and Texas two. New York state leads in municipal and county hospitals for tuberculosis having 24, while Ohio, the second on the list has 17, and Massachusetts the third, has, in these twenty six states, --- use bells, songs, whistles, rattles and all other noise making devices in order to sell their goods. Right at this point it may not be out of place to state that corporation counsel William H. Sexton, and his very able assistant Mr. Beckwith, are to be highly commended for standing by the people in this respect. For the conduct of the vast majority of the peddlers has become so unbearable that no sane person has any respect for them, one lady in protest against their noisy conduct or manner, before the judiciary committee of the city council lately declared that "they don't give us any peace day nor night and even on Sunday they are out yelling at the top of their voices, if you ask them to stop they will insult you and curse and damn you out, some of them are even ready to fight you if you inform them that you are in possession of some humble rights which they are duty bound to respect." Therefore it is the duty of all good citizens to assist in helping to prevent the peddlers from making so much noise while selling their decayed fruit and other unwholesome and unsanitary products even if they have to go to the trouble of going into the municipal court or the other courts and prosecute each and every one of them to the fullest extent of the law. which are the only ones having any municipal or county care for tuberculosis, there are 114 hospitals, including special pavilions and almhouses. Hardly more than one-tenth of the cities of 30,000 population and over, make any local provision for tuberculosis cases, and not one-twentieth of the less populous districts make such provision. In addition to the state, municipal, and county hospitals, the federal government provides for certain selected classes in the United States Army Hospital at Fort Bayard, N. Mex., the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service Sanatorium at Ft. Stanton, N. Mex., the United States Navy Hospital at Las Animas, Colo., and in five special hospitals for Indians on different reservations in the West. Apart from these institutions, and a few special pavilions at prisons, hospitals for the insane, and some other public institutions, a grand total of hardly 200, the .institutional care of the consumptive is left to private philanthropy. With 200,000 deaths from consumption every year, and more than that number of living cases, too poor to pay for their care in private institutions, the National Association says that unless the cities, counties and states realize their duty and provide adequate local hospital accommodations for these consumptives, the disease can never be sterned out. 1 HON.

REV. ABRAHAM LINCOLN MURRAY, CHARGED WITH HOLDING OUT MONEY FROM THE CHURCH Rev. Abraham Lincoln Murray, who was at one time pastor of Bethel church in this city, who always madly made love to a whole army of fine looking ladies at one time, and who broke up a piano stool while attempting to get at one lady, in order to hug and kiss her, has run up against some trouble down in Atlantic City, New Jersey. After lightning out from this city, some five or six years ago he headed for Atlantic City, where he became the pastor of the St. James A. M. E. church in that city, and still being on the sporting order, and still delighting to scatter plenty of "Red Paint" for the sake of his Lord, he has been charged by the trustees of St. James church, with making a "get away" with money belonging to its members, and if he is ever brought to trial for his many misdeeds the chances are that through the work of the Lord he will be pronounced innocent of the charges and Bishop W. J. Gaines and his white washing committee will permit him to move up another peg on the mourner's bench. PROF. BOOKER T.

Old Negro in Senate Stationery Room May Lose Place. Washington, July 1.-Jim Jones, an aged Negro for many years in the Senate stationery room, is in danger of losing his place. Jones was the personal servant of President Jefferson Davis, of the Southern Confederacy, and was with him when the Union soldiers effected his capture in Georgia after General Lee's surrender. A year ago Senator Money of Mississippi, saved old Jim. Other Democrats are going to try to save him this time, but may not succeed, as the Republican steering committee has recommended numerous discharges to cut down the Senate force of employment. Jones claims to be the only man living who knows where the great seal of the Confederacy was secreted. Jones was "free born," and says he is proud of the fact that he never was a slave. His mother was two-thirds Cherokee, his father a Creole, and Jones was hired by Jefferson Davis in New Orleans. A GOOD JOKE ON THE EDITOR Last Saturday evening after the writer had taken in the last show at the Pekin, and then strolled into the Elite Cafe, 3030 State St, where he got on the outside of a glass of ice cold soda water, while looking the many ladies over who were seated at the many tables, enjoying their refreshments, while listening to the music and singing and on the eve of emerging from the Elite, a nice looking Colored gentleman stepped up in front of us and exclaimed as follows: "Say, mister didn't I play stud poker all night with you a few weeks ago in a rear room in the Keystone Hotel." We simply smiled and said no you are mistaken in your man and made a rush to catch a late car for our happy home. Many times in the past we have been taken for an old time shouting preacher, and several times we have been sized up as a cook or a Pullman car portor or conductor and once or twice we have been taken for a prize fighter, but it was the first time in our life that anyone had the nerve to say that we looked like a first class poker player. --- The Afro-American Race Should Feel Proud of Its History ITS FORE FATHERS WERE THE FORE RUNNERS AND THE FOUNDERS OF THE BEST AND EARLIEST CIVILIZATION.

His present status in war, conquest, plunder Dr. Brown has traveled all over the world and has given years of patient study to ethnology, psychology, phrnelogy and kindred subjects, and has lectured in this and other cities on subjects connected therewith. The address was illuminated by scientific charts, and contained references to such writers on the Negro and ethnological subjects as Herodotus, Pritchard, Pickering, Volney, Brace, Weber, Baron von Humboldt and Sir Harry Johnston. First Civilization Black. "Ferodotus informs us," said the speaker, "that the Ethiopians of his day were the tallest and handsomest nation in the world, and that this branch was the Hamitic, from which the primitive Egyptian emerged, proving conclusively that black primeval civilization has been the mother of modern white civilization. Prior to this we look in vain to discover the white man who was in the jungles of Europe, clothed in savage attire in the skins of wild beasts, living in holes in the ground, and tattooing himself. The Chinese regarded his white skin as a badge of inferiority. The primitive Negro has been the molding factor in this world's eventful story.

His present status in war, conquest, plunder, subjugation, appropriation, massacre; the strong over the weak; the large swallowing up the small; the little trying to escape the grasping propensities of the big; injustice standing on the pedestal of violated natural law, destroying the innate sense of right. So accustomed has this so-called white man become in making his deceptive scheme agree with his perverted mind that he even invokes Thacred Record to endorse his barbarous methods. And thus from the white man's so-called Christian civilization of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries we behold the unjust, humiliating spectacle of the whole continent of Africa appropriated between European nations just as cooly as robbing a neighbor of his pocketbook. "The brutality of modern Saxon civilization can be only explained on the principle that the white man seems to be abnormal in his evolution "The black man has permitted the white man to write his history and paint it in the darkest colors, while he (the white man) writes his own in the brightest color.

Trains will leave new North Western Station, Madison and Canal street, at 9:30, 10:00, 10:30 and 11:00 a. m. Round trip tickets $1.00. SMALL TALK OF THE STAGE Henry E. Dixey will officiate in the variety entertainment at the Majestic next week in a diluted version of "David Garrick." Flanking Mr. Dixey will be Fred Hamill, a popular vaudeville lark, who, assisted by six actresses, will present "A Morning Rehearsal." Also there will be songs, recitations, and ventriloquism by Miss Winona Winter. Among the later engagements announced for "Louisiana Lou," approaching the La Salle, is that of Miss Eva Fallon, estwhile a soubrette in Mr. Elinge's entourage. Edward Sheldon finds it impossible to release any of his plays to the Drama Players for next season, but he assures the directors that they shall have one for the second year. The other Chicago Sheldon—H. S the author of "The Havoc"—has been invited to contribute one of his works to the repertory. President F. R. McMullin of the management of Ravinia park has brought that institution into amicable relations with the Nortwestern railroad, and the Northwestern elevated, as well as the Milwaukee electric, to give better service to patrons of the concerts. A special train leaves the Northwestern station at Madison street at 7:30 each evening, the round trip and admission costing $1. The elevated railway sends two specials of five cars each from the loop district to Ravinia, continuing past Evanston on the Milwaukee electric tracks without change. These trains leave Clark and Lake streets to circle the loop before taking the northern journey at 6:36 and at 6:41 every evening. Passengers may get on at any station on the loop. The round trip fare on these trains with tickets into the park is 70 cents. The Thomas orchestra and Miss Eva Mylott will be the attractions at Ravinia park another week. The Hamilton club will have its picnic there July 12 and the alumni of Cornell will foregather on July 22. Mr. Klaw announces that he will bring Miss Lily Elsie from London to America next fall for the purposes of "the Count of Luxembourg," in which she is the prima donna. Miss Elsie was the most successful of the many London "Merry, Wildows," and received much repute a while ago by declining the susceptible king of Portugal. It is understood that Miss Maxine Elliott will be persuaded to return to the theatre by the offer of the leading role in Mr. Hichens' "The Garden of Allah." Mr. Hichens himself is of the announced belief that Miss Elliott is the typical heroine of his tale—a beller shared by Mrs. Mary Anderson De Navarro, his collaborator in the dramatization. Mr. Hackett, after a considerable period of eclipse, will be much in evidence next season. Besides his "Grain of Dust" appearances he will also be seen, according to present plans, in a dramatization of Arthur B. Beevens' stories, "Craig Kennedy, the Twentieth Century Scientific Detective" and perhaps in a dramatization of the series of tales known as "Mr Adventures of Your Money." Mr. Hackett thinks he may do Charles Belmont Davis' "The Octopus" and "Monsieur Beacaire," too, if he has the time. In London Herbert Trench is preparing to produce at the Haymarket a play by Sundermann called "The Distant Princess' Story," which is about a young schoolmaster and his romance with a lady of royal blood. Also Mr. Trench, will submit Tolstoy's "The Living Corpse," under a less grewsome label. When the Chicago "Get-rich-Quick Wallingford" company starts on its out of town adventure Ralph Stuart will be succeeded in the title role by James Manning. Mr. Stuart retires or appear in a new play, the nature of which is similar to that of Mr. Cohan's farce. DIAMOND DUST. The Leland Giants and the American Giants celebrated last Sunday with a victory each over their opponents, the Leland Giants trimming the Kansas City, Kansas, one of the crack teams of the West, while the American Giants under the management of Andrew Foster met and conquered the Chicago Giants, both games were brilliant, well attended and well played. Tuesday and Wednesday, the American Giants will meet for the first time this year the Leland Giants with a two days contest at Aurora, Illinois, where the .Chicago Church Chautauqua is taking place. All of Chicago will be on hand to witness a clash between these two celebrated teams. The interurban line at 5th avenue and Van Buren st. runs direct to the grounds. Beauregard F. Moseley returned from Kansas City Wednesday last looking refreshed from his three days so-journed on the Banks of the Caw, where he was the guest of Felix H. Payne, of Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Moseley reports the weather conditions extremely hot, the hospitality of Missourians extremely courteous, and the friends of Mr. F. H. Payne, Lawyers Heuston, Knox and Calloway, extremely anxious to keep one up late who chanced to be from a modest burgh like Chicago. Don't forget the game at Leland Giants Park Sunday, the 16th between the great New Orleans Creole Club under the management of Mr. Walker and Frank Polambo. The Cieoles will speak and coach in their Native tongue, it will be interesting as well as amusing to hear them coach and see them play. They are the Champions of the South and come North to take the scalp of the Giants. A great game is predicted. The Boosters invites everyone to be present. Tonight at the Burlington there will be an executive session of the Boosters to arrange the trip to Aurora on the 11th. All Boosters are commanded to be present. WALTERS A. M. E.

BANNER YEAR FOR BAPTISTS. PLANS TO ENLARGE TERRITORY Providence Meeting of Great Missionary and Educational Organization Crowded With Delegates—Forward Movement For Big Financial Campaign Planned. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Providence, R. L.—The New England Baptist missionary convention, which closed its thirty-seventh annual meeting in the Cougdon Street Baptist church, this city, with a splendid reception to the delegates on Monday evening, June 18, was one of the most successful events in its long and useful career. Every session of the convention during the six days was largely attended, and there were delegates from as far north as Canada. The jurisdiction of the organization extends from Washington northward throughout the New England states. Rev William A. Creditt, LL. D., of Philadelphia, president of the convention, presided. The address of welcome on behalf of the Congdon street church was delivered with much force and earnestness by Deacon E. S. Peters. Mayor Henry Fletcher delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city in a characteristic vein which made the audience bristle with enthusiasm. The mayor's welcome was responded to by the Rev. Samuel J. Comfort. D. D. of Boston. After the annual sermon, which was preached by the Rev Granville Hunt of Mount Vernon, N. Y., President Credit delivered his annual address, which for logic, forthought, optimism and encouragement to the delegates assembled may be truthfully and rightfully designated as a code of ethics A. B. REV. DR. W A. HARBOD. worthy of the man whom the convention has elected for the third time as its leader and presiding officer. The officers elected for the ensuing year were installed by the Rev. William M. Mossa, D. D., pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn. They are W. A. Creditt. LL, D., of Philadelphia, president; A. C. Powell, D. D., New York, vice president; W. A. Harrod, D. D., Hartford, Conn., corresponding secretary; A. Mark Harris, D. D., Jersey City, N. J., recording secretary, and Robert D. Wynn, D. D., Newark, N. J., treasurer. The convention was favored by the presence of two very distinguished visitors from abroad, who made brief but highly encouraging addresses. They were the Rev. William E. Hurst, who holds a pastoral charge in Leicester, England, and the Rev. William J. Harris of Hirchin, England, pastor of the old historic church founded by John Bunyan. Both are Baptists. They are delegates to the world's Baptist alliance, which concluded a week's meetings in Philadelphia on Sunday, June 25. Mrs. Joanna P. Moore was also a visitor to the convention. The memorial services for deceased pastors and members who have died during the year were presided over by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, vice president of the convention. Many touching tributes of respect were given by pastors and laymen. Prompted by the many timely suggestions contained in the president's annual address, the convention ordered the appointment of a committee of fifteen whose duty it is to plan for enlarging the scope and usefulness of the convention so as to more fully develop that part of its territory which in the past has received but scant attention The convention also proposes to further extend its work by raising the sum of $6,000 for home and foreign missions, education and other denominational work. This sum is to be systematically arranged and raised by apportionment among the various churches by state and territories according to the numerical strength of church membership. The ranks of the older men who have given many years of thought and labor for the advancement of the convention are rapidly thinning out, and their places are being any filled by young men who have learned much from the convention, whose wives they have been sensible enough to need. Among those who were at the inception of the work thirty-seven years ago only two are living. They are the Revs. B. T. Moore of Wimmington, Del., and Ebenezer Byrd of Newark, N. J. Others who have served in official capacities for upward of a quarter of a century are the Rev. Dr. Robert D. Wynn of Newark, N. J., who has been the honored and trusted treasurer of the convention for twenty-two years. Dr. Wynn has been eminently successful as a pastor. He was pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist church in New York for sixteen years. In his present charge, Newark, N. J., he has had unbounded success. He is still hale and hearty, a good gospel preacher and a man of large influence in the community in which he resides. Then there is the Rev. Dr. L. J. Brown, pastor of the Berean Baptist church in Brooklyn for twenty years. Rev. W. N. Morton, H. J. Neter and a few others have pastored in one place for a score of years. Many of the young pastors have made brilliant records within the past MRS. LUCY HENSEN. decade. Rev. John C. Love, pastor of the Union Baptist church in Montclair, N. J., celebrated the twelfth anniversary of his pastorate recently with the following record of achievements: Membership increased from 162 to 552; collected from April, 1889, to April, 1911, $33,324.37; paid the remaining debt on the church property and made many improvements along other lines. He is an eloquent preacher, splendid financier, good leader and great organizer for racial uplift. The Sunday school department held its convention previous to the sessions of the general body and made a most encouraging showing in numbers, finance, education and mission work. It donated $50 to Virginia Union university, $25 to Virginia seminary and college, $25 to the National Training School For Women and Girls, $25 to the Downingtown industrial school and smaller sums for other purposes. The officers of the convention and members of the board of managers are: N. Barnett Dodson, Brooklyn president; G. W. Long, Providence, R. L. vice president; Miss R. G. Randolph, New York, recording secretary; Miss Nettie A. Smith, Providence, R. L., corresponding secretary, and Rev. A. C. Powell, New York, treasurer. The literary program of the various sessions was replete with helpful suggestions for the future settlement of the work. The address by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, subject "The Sunday School at Its Best," the music furnished by the Congon street school and a highly pleasing soprano solo by Mrs. Lucy Hensen, wife of Mr Matt Hensen of north pole fame, were among the leading features of the session.

Phone Aldine 2532 POINTS FOR BUSINESS MEN Qualifications Which Each Should Posses—Wanamaker as Example. By ALBON L. HOLSEY. Every business must have a head or executive department, which should embody three things—viz. ability to purchase, knowledge of salesmanship and knowledge of advertising. No successful business is complete without the three, and yet we rarely see a person capable of doing all three creditably. Perhaps John Wanamaker is the most acceptable example of the happy combination, and he is the originator of a certain style of advertising. A man who is skillful in the purchase of raw materials for his factory or of goods for his retail store and is a good salesman will "make a living" in any business. Many colored business men whom we call successful are merely the "making a good living" kind. These men are in the main satisfied to drift along in this manner when if they would add an equal amount of advertising with the same care and judgment their business would in most cases double itself in a few years and give employment to as many persons. PAGE RETAINED. The state board of education of Oklahoma did itself proud by reappointing Professor Inman E. Page to the presidency of the Oklahoma University For Afro-Americans at its recent meeting. The institution is located in Langton, Okla., and has under the efficient management of President Inman E. Page for the past fourteen years become widely known. He is a graduate of Brown university and before going to Oklahoma fourteen years ago was president of the university for colored people in Jefferson City, Mo. Professor Page knows both the value of a classical as well as an industrial education and is thus well qualified to give his students the best training for which their mental qualifications call for. Because of the satisfactory work of the school it received a gold medal from the Jamestown (Va.) exhibition a few years ago. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Public meetings for the celebration of the centenary of Mra. Harriet Beecher Stowe have been held in many sections of the country thus far this month by Afro-Americans who appreciate the work which Mra. Stowe did in creating public sentiment against slavery. Such meetings are eminently befitting, for all men who love freedom and personal liberty should revere those who with pen, monog, sword and personal influence helped to break down and destroy the unjust traffic in human flesh which lasted for centuries in America. Perhaps the most notable meeting of the many was the one held in Fuseau hall, arranged for and carried out successfully by Afro-American women in Boston, Miss. M. Cravath Simpson, president of the Afro-American Women's Anti-bynch society, and her coworkers were prime movers of the celebration in which many distinguished persons took part, among whom were the Hon. Joseph G. Manning of Alabama, Mr. Frank Sanboon, Professor A. B. Hart of Harvard college, Mrs. Agnes Adams, Miss Gardner and Mr. Brigham. The office of the Scotton Guardian at 21 Cornhill street, where Garrison published the Liberator, was the Macon and headquarters of a constant throng of visitors throughout the continental festivities. Mr. Manning in the announcement of his guest speech said: "It makes the hearts of colored people ache to see the federal government going abroad to protect Americans and offering no protection to Americans who need it right at home. No foreign government would do worse to its own or American citizens than the American government is doing to its own citizens by stailing the vote from them. "In the north today you stand idly by and see the principles for which your fathers gave their lives in the civil war being swept away." Alumni Association Organized. An alumni association has been organized by the graduates of the Clayton-Williams university, Baltimore. This school was founded by Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson and is doing a most excellent work. The officers of the association are Reva. W. W. Allen, president; C. C. Layne, vice president; Benjamin Thompson, secretary; George W. Carrington, treasurer, and David Bryant, chaplain. President Allen is one of the best known of the younger ministers in Baltimore and for a number of years has been pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church. New Book on Racial Emancipation.

WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY GETS BIG APPROPRIATION. Professor Joiner's Efforts Double State Aid For Noted School. Wilberforce, O.—The seventy-ninth assembly of the Ohio legislature which recently adjourned was quite severe upon most of the educational institutions which usually receive financial aid from the state. Wilberforce university was the only school whose appropriation for 1911-12 was not cut below that for the previous year. There are twenty-six state institutions for which the legislature was required to make appropriations. Out of the twenty-six all but one suffered cuts in their estimates for the next two years. On taking charge in the fall of 1910 Professor A. A. Joiner installed a new and improved system of accounts for Wilberforce university and suggested a change in the method of submitting estimates for the appropriations with the result that the appropriation for 1911 and 1912 almost doubles that obtained for 1909 and 1910. There are four educational institutions in the state for which the legislature appropriates. Wilberforce is one of these institutions. The three white colleges and their appropriations more than cut in half, while the amount asked for Wilberforce was allowed to the last cent. The special appropriations amount to $91,220.00; the pro rata of the general levy due Wilberforce for the two years will be $46.500. This added to the special appropriations makes for Wilberforce $137,720.80 for 1911 and 1912. Some of the notable increases are as follows: The appropriation for 1910 was $8,000, for 1911, $12,600; appropriation for industries for 1910 was $4,000, for 1911 it was $6,417.85, but probably the most important increase, both as to amount and significance to the plant at this time is the increase in the amount obtained for repairs and improvements which are badly needed upon the buildings and grounds. The appropriation for such purposes for the two preceding years was $1,800; the amount carried by the present appropriation for such purposes is $15,000, or just ten times the amount which was available for the past two years. Many of the buildings are much in need of repair and much improvement on the grounds will be made possible. But the work has not all been done on the outside. Every teacher who is now receiving less than $75 per month has been slated for an increase for next year. An invidious inquiry.
