Abbott in This Noted Mess or Mix-up of the Two Real Colored Editors, Who are Prominent in the Public Eye in New York and Chicago. BY THE RAMBLING MAN. For several days our streets have been full of circulars giving an account of the meetings to be held at the Eighth Regiment Armory, at which Hon. Marceus Garvey, who is described as the "greatest living Negro orator" (although Roscoe Simmons is still alive) and who is described as the President of the Black Star Line, a corporation whose aims and objects appear to be both commercial and sentimental. This corporation has been doing considerable business in New York and other cities on the Eastern Sea Board and its activities have attracted the attention of several people who do not appear to like Mr. Garvey over much. Among the people in this latter class appears to be the local agents of the Chicago Defender in New York. That gentleman wrote to his paper in Chicago denouncing Mr. Garvey as an imposter and a fraud, of which course did not please the distinguished orator and business man, whereupon Mr. Garvey, in the language of Uncle Remus, up and sued Col. R. S. Abbott for a sum which would make a dent in the bank roll of even the World's Greatest Weekly. The sum stated in the declaration was like the poker game, limited only by the roof ($200,000 to be exact). Mr. Garvey was not content with bringing a suit for damages, he moved on the Defender's works, and captured its first line trenches. Mr. Garvey sent an advance agent who billed him extensively and also procured the Eighth Regiment Armory in which he could talk about the Defender. But more than this, he devoted more than one-half of one issue of the Negro World to the Defender and its wickedness and circulated some twenty thousand copies right under Col. Abbott's nose. But the Hon. Mr. Garvey was not content with mere printer's ink. He threw a great many heavy words and sentences at Col. Abbott and denounced him in round terms and harsh words. At the meetings in addition to denouncing the Defender, Mr. Garvey sold some stock in the Black Star Line Steamship Company, and aroused considerable sympathy for his concern by telling of the great deeds it would do, and among other things one great thing it had done. That great deed was to take Mr. Wm. M. Trotter aboard when the wicked Woodrow Wilson had refused to let him have passport. The picture of this ship was shown and many great things told of the Black Star Line and what it would finally be able to do when it brought together the colored people from many distant lands and added their production to the commerce of the world. Some few people bought stock and Mr. Garvey announced that his meetings would last through the week. He invaded the West Side and then came back to the Armory. But while all of these things were being done, the enemies of Mr. Gar- ```markdown ``` VOL. XXV THE BROAD AX vey were busy, and some say Col. Abbott was not asleep; but be that as it may, on Tuesday night, just as a great meeting was gathered in the Armory, lo and behold there came a warrant for Mr. Garvey's arrest on a charge of violating the Blue Sky Law of the State of Illinois. This Blue Sky Law it must be understood was prepared and passed to prevent people from selling to tie unsophisticated sections of the sky above their heads, as they had been doing whenever they got tired of selling the Masonic Temple and the Post Office and the City Hall. Mr. Garvey has with him a band of faithful workers and they got busy and took steps to keep him from being kept away from his meetings. These people got in touch with Banker R. W. Woodfolk and Col. W. E. Mollison and they had him out on the streets in a very short time, but too late to hold the most important meeting of the series. Mr. Mollison represented Mr. Garvey and entered a plea of noli contendere, not exactly pleading guilty but admitting the acts charged, selling stock, but insisting that the violation of the Blue Sky law was merely technical. The Attorney General's office was convinced and made the recommendation that a merely nominal fine be imposed simply to meet the requirements of the law. It was a part of the stipulations that there should be restitution of the money received for the stock of the Black Star Line, until such time as that company should file its application for license and have it passed upon by the Secretary of State, Hon. Louis L. Emmerson. But other things were happening. Col. Abbott got busy and served a summons on Mr. Garvey asking him for the modest sum of one hundred thousand dollars for damages sustained by Col. Abbott and the Defender because of the oratorical onslaughts upon him and incidentally of the World's Greatest Weekly. The suit against the Defender for two hundred thousand dollars was brought by one of the largest law firms in New York City and is similar to the one in which Mr. Ford got service on the Tribune by serving an agent in Detroit. Personal service was had on Mr. Garvey while in the city of Chicago. An interesting item in connection with the whole matter is the fact that Mr. Garvey has really bought a ship and displays its photographs at his meetings. He paints a beautiful picture of its comings and goings and tells of the glories in store for his people when all these things are beyond the stage of dreams. In his party we notice Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis known all over the western hemisphere as an elocutionist and platfrom entertainer. Miss Davis is one of the Vice Presidents of the Black Star Company. (Continued on Page 2.) CHICAGO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1919 [Name] One of the judges of the Municipal Court who has always endeavored to be fair and honest while sitting in judgment on all cases which are presented to him, and that has made him extremely popular with all classes of his fellow citizens. The following letter addressed to Julius F. Taylor and it speaks for itself: Sometime ago about the early part of September, in one of the local papers an article appeared concerning the attitude of Judge George B. Holmes, of the Municipal Court of Chicago, in his conduct of the hearing at Maxwell Street Court of the case in which Joseph Scott was charged with the murder of Nicholas Klinemark, (white) during the riot about July 28th, while both were riding on an Ashland avenue car. Your communication asking me to investigate the matter was received and it happens that Attorney George W. Blackwell and I were representing one Harry Simpson charged as accessory to the murder of Klinemark also with carrying concealed weapons; at the hearing there was no one who represented Joseph Scott as his attorney or who pretended to do so and as the cases of Scott and Simpson were so closely connected Mr. Blackwell assisted Scott in protecting his rights at the hearing. We heard the evidence produced by the State and more than two witnesses positively identified Scott as the man who killed Klinemark and also testified that there was no provocation for the killing; it was insisted that Scott be held without bail to the ages of the Municipal Court who has al- t while sitting in judgment on all ca- d that has made him extremely popular. ed to Julius F. Taylor and it spes Grand Jury but we called two wit- nesses which the State had neglected to have testify, the motorman and con- ductor of the car and the Judge after hearing their testimony granted Scott bail although he was charged with murder (and stated at that time that if he was hearing the case on indi- ment and trial that no doubt that Scott would have a good defense and would be discharged but as he only had juris- diction as an examining magistrate probable cause had been shown under the law and he was by duty bound to bind him to the Grand Jury. Scott did not testify at the hearing before Judge Holmes and after the hearing was finished a young man appeared and stated that he was from Attorney Patrick O'Donnell's office who was unable to be present; the hearing in the Scott case had been held as the last case to be heard and no one had mentioned the inability of Attorney O'Donnell to be present or that he was representing Scott yet Judge Holmes exercised every precaution in safe guarding the rights of Scott. At the same hearing Harry Simpson was discharged as accessory to the murder and although the police officer produced a knife which they testified contained blood spots and was taken from Simpson at the time of the killing; the judge after hearing Simpson's testimony that the spots were not blood spots but rust ordered that the city chemist make an analysis of the spot and on a further hearing Simpson was discharged which shows too plainly the fairness of Judge Holmes. At the same hearing we demanded that a warrant issue forthwith for one of the witnesses for the state who seemed to know too much about the working of the mob charging him with conspiracy to riot and assault with a deadly weapon and Judge Holmes without any hesitancy whatever, ordered the warrants to issue for his arrest; the witness was charged and brought into court on the warrant. The witness was a white man and was complained against by Harry Simpson who was then under arrest. We think that Judge Holmes needs no defense as to his impartial administration of justice and that the unwarranted attack on a judge of his calibre is little less than sacrilege. Hoping this synopsis will fully answer your communication we beg to remain, Yours respectfully, Richard E. Westbrook and George W. Blackwell. The A. M. E. Annual Conference Which Was Largely Attended Wound Up Its Affairs at Quinn Chapel Sunday Evening, After Bishop L. J. Coppin, who Ably Presided Over it, Made the Appointments for the Incoming Year. Rev. A. J. Carey Was Elected by Acclamation to the General Conference; Rev. S. L. Birt Received the Highest Number of Votes of the Other Delegates Elected, Who Were Rev. H. E. Stewart, Rev. T. L. Scott, Rev. Timothy Reeves, Rev. R. E. Wilson, Rev. N. J. McCracken and Jams A. Easton. The annual A. M. E. Conference for the Chicago, St. Paul, Kookuk and Des Moines districts; held forth the past week at Quinn Chapel and all the sessions were largely attended. Bishop L. J. Coppin, of the fourth Episcopal district ably and impartially, presided over the deliberations; Rev. R. C. Ransom, of New York City, was among the distinguished visitors. The reports from the various churches, in all of the districts showed that they were all in flourishing conditions. Bethel church led off in raising and turning in the dollar money. Its pastor, Rev. W. D. Cook, turned in fourteen hundred dollars, which caused great rejoicing among the brethren as well as among the faithful sisters which enabled him to make a home run and remain at Bethel church another year. Rev. H. E. Stewart, pastor of Quinn Chapel, came up with nine-hundred and forty-one dollars in dollar money and Bishop Coppin, was so well pleased with it; that he never had the slightest idea of transferring Rev. Stewart, from Quinn Chapel. Rev. Floyd G. Snelson, pastor of St. Mary's church threw four-hundred and fifty-five dollars in dollar money down in front of Bishop Coppin, which caused him to smile and exclaim, Amen! Amen! well done thou good and faithful servant, continue to work for the Lord at St. Mary's. The dollar money from all the churches in the Chicago district; Rev. A. J. Carey, Presiding Elder of the district; amounted to five thousand, twenty four dollars and ninety-five cents; an increase of five hundred and fifty six dollars and ten cents over the dollar money of 1918. Revs. H. E. Stewart, W. D. Cook, F. G. Snelson, J. M. Henderson, B. U. Taylor, I. N. Daniels, T. L. Scott and W. H. Griffin were returned to their respective churches in this city. Rev. J. C. Anderson was returned to St. James church, St. Paul, Minn., Rev. Timothy Reeves to St. Stephens, Rev. ATTENTION GIRLS Courses of study in the Chicago School of Domestic Science and Arts have been arranged and scholarship provided for young women who wish to command better pay and more agreeable working conditions as domestic assistants. Altho primarily for this purpose an opportunity is given for persons desirous of gaining a knowledge of the essentials of modern homemaking. The chemistry and preparation of foods, dietetic principles, household administration, and modern methods of domestic service are provided thru lectures, study and laboratory practice. For those who wish to enter this work as a vocation, positions will be provided at wages commensu- R. E. Wilson to Ebernerze, Evanston, Ill., and Rev. S. L. Birt to St. Paul's, Des Moines, Iowa. There were no important changes in any of the leading churches in the four districts composing the conference. The following evangelists were commissioned to go forth and work and preach the A. M. E. gospel in this district to all those who will stop and listen to them. Rev. Nora F. Taylor, Laura Richardson, Cordelia Carey, J. B. Easely, J. F. Augustus, L. J. Phillens, A. L. Viney, Carrio Metaleft, M. E. Price, Hattie Coleman, Anna M. May Tannis, S. L. Prescott, Jessie Wood, Anna Albright, Lydia Hunt, Mary Robinson, Mario Early, L. H. Owens, John Strawer. Just as every thing was set to elect delegates to the general conference which will be held in St. Louis, Mo. in May, 1920, the members of the conference were fully determined that all the candidates would be forced to lay their cards down on the table so that every body could plainly see them and not be outdone. They elected Rev. A. J. Carey by acclamation as one of the delegates to the general conference and passed a resolution that no one should be elected delegate who was not in favor of him for Bishop and that they would work and vote for him first last and all the time and after the candidates had pledged themselves in that respect the following aside from Rev. Carey were elected delegates, next to Rev. Carey, Rev. S. L. Birt, the hustaining pastor of St. Paul church, Des Moines, Iowa, received the largest vote and lead the delegation by election. Rev. H. E. Stewart, Rev. T. L. Scott, Rev. Timothy Reeves, Rev. R. E. Wilson, Rev. N. J. MeCracken and Mr. James A. Easton, and as the Indiana A. M. E. conference last week instructed its delegates to the general conference to vote for Rev. Carey for Bishop, everything seems to strongly indicate that he will become one of the new Bishops of his church in 1920. rate with this increased efficiency.

Thursday Mrs. Moses Ratcliff, President of the Willing Workers Club of St. Catherina A. M. E. Zion Church, 37th Street and Langley Avenue, Rev. T. E. Roach, Pastor gave a grand concert and the proceeds from the same will be used for the initial payment on the church. Rev. W. S. Braddan was one of the attractions of the evening, several noted stars took part in the affair. Mrs. Ratcliff is one of the hardest workers in the new church and she deserves much credit for the part she is playing in its affairs.

The average white man's idea of the race problem most generally is discreditable disreputable and disgusting. When a group of people measure up to the standard of decency, cultivation and intellectual refinement they are not a bit different from a corresponding group of people of any other race. Their qualifications, rating and general conduct being the same, there is nothing left in the equation but a difference in the color of skin, and sometimes the texture of hair. Such people being equal to each other have the same elements of sobriety and the same tendencies to do good should not be regarded differently in the essentials of the higher reaches of humanity. The white man cannot conscientiously proceed beyond the conclusion that humanity is very much alike. Such groups nurture the same interests, develop along similar lines, and promote the general welfare of all in the same proportion. It is a very strange situation that looks for a difference in the color of a skin to make up for, or interpose deficiencies on so poor a pretext. The cultivated brain and heart of a black woman cannot be different from a white woman who stands for the noblest prerequisities of the human soul. They have the same human interest in an equal degree. Of course the white race is ignorant of the fact that these things are so because of a peculiar sentiment or habit of discrediting colored people on the hypothesis of color. Prejudice in a marked degree is because of this ignorance coupled with the spirit of a lack of concern to inform themselves on the sober graces of the colored race. Then if they were greatly interested and by honest investigation discovered the truth, why should they eagerly chant upon the brotherhood of black and white when they could entertain no selfish notions in favor of the colored race? There are some indications that thus giving the darker races a square deal would not parralel with their habit of unconcern, and public sentiment. A Christly spirit in all probability would manifest itself if only certain cowardice and fear did not alarm them. Ignorance, prejudice and race hatred are the repriehenible trio that manacles and holds in chains of slavery the white people of America, a slavery more terrible than the human slavery of the past. It is a cunning hypocritical thing that holds in objection and abeyance the Golden Rule, and makes the white man tremble when he approaches the sanctum of his noblest nature. When he would righteously set himself up, he cringes as a syphon fearful to do right to all people alike. They say that there is a barrier who makes the disparagement between people as individuals but Great Nature? Yes, barriers that the white race would set up in the day time and take down after darkness covers the land. This barrier is a difference in color that makes the white race a coward. But why in heavens name should the burden be put upon the black woman when the white race would take down the barrier? Then why should the barrier not be lifted on her child? This is monstrous, this logical conclusiveness of fearful proportions before which the white race hangs its head in shame. The delicacy of the situation makes them afraid and they cowardly shrink behind their saintly robe of selfish egotism from which low place of in- COL. W. E.

His successful management of the criminal charges against his noted client has been the subject of much comment and congratulations. The wildest rumors were afloat as to the amount of stock sold by the Black Star Line, but a close count showed that less than two hundred dollars had been paid for stock in this new dream of the black man for world communication, even tho he has none of world domination. The plot thickened Thursday morning. After getting the charges under the Blue Sky Law successfully settled with Attorney General Brundage, Col. W. E. Mollison was retained by the security they look down they think upon the Negro race, but they are becoming to see that they are mistaken, the darker people are not down, they are up, and climbing higher and higher.

OCTOBER 4, 1919. Death and Funeral of Mrs. Musadora Anderson, Wife of Rev. J. C. Anderson, Formerly Pastor of Quinn Chapel, This City. Funeral Services Were Held at Quinn at 1 O'clock Monday and the Church was Crowded to its Fullest Capacity. Rev. I. N. Daniels Preached the Funeral Sermon; Rev. H. E. Stewart, Pastor of Quinn Chapel, was Master of Ceremonies. Bishop L. J. Coppin Was One of the Speakers. It was very briefly stated in these columns last week that Mrs. Musadora Anderson, the beloved and devoted wife of Rev. J. C. Anderson, formerly pastor of Quinn Chapel, this city, expired suddenly while on the operating table at the Mayo Brothers Hospital, Rochester, Minn., late Wednesday evening. For the past year the Rev. and Mrs. Anderson have been residing in St. Paul, Min., where he is pastor of St. James M. M. E. church in that city, and he rushed from that city to Rochester and accompanied the remains of Mrs. Anderson to this city, arriving here last Saturday morning, and from that morning until Monday noon her remains were at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William De Lacy, 7226 Wentworth Ave., where they were viewed by many of her close or warm friends. Monday at 1 o'clock funeral services were held over her remains at Quinn chapel, which was crowded to its fullest capacity. E. H. Williamson, the up-to-date funeral director, was in charge. He was ably assisted by Sir James E. Bish. The white robed members of the choir, of which Mrs. Anderson was a member before departing for St. Paul, met the remains at the door. They were followed by Rev. H. E. Stewart, pastor of Quinn chapel. The choir slowly marched down the aisle softly chauging a funeral hymn. Rev. Stewart in his long black robe came next, reading in a soft, low voice: "I am the Rescue and the Life. He that believeth on Me though he were dead shall have everlasting life. We brought nothing into this world and certainly we will not take anything out of it." etc. etc. Many ministers who were in attendance at the annual conference followed close behind Rev. Stewart. Then came the members of Household of Ruth 553, of which Mrs. Anderson was one of its past high officers, and then the rare and beautiful floral offerings which extended across the platform. Rev. T. L. Scott read the first hymn, No. 501. Rev. T. B. Stovall, presiding elder of the Des Moines, Iown, district, offered prayer; Rev. Timothy Reeves, pastor of St. Stephens church, read the second hymn, No. 630; Rev. M. H. Griffin, pastor of the Hyde Park church read the 90th Psalm; Rev. R. E. Wilson read the obituary, which follows: Obituary. Sister Musadora Anderson was born April 15, 1875, in the city of Rockford, Ill. All of her girlhood days were spent in her home town, she never having been one hundred miles from Rockford until she was married. She was educated in the public schools in that city. Her life showed very careful training. She was brought up in the Sunday school and church and as a young child became a member of a Band of Hope Temperance Society. Mrs. Anderson's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Isaiah Donley, were highly respected in the community in which they lived, both in private and public life without regard to race. Both parents died when deceased was quite young; the mother passing away when the daughter was about five years of age; the father not many years after. Thus their young daughter was left to the care of a foster grandmother, who reared and directed the life of her charge faithfully and well until she entered into a home of her own. During the early part of her eighteenth year Sister Anderson became a Christian. From this time until her death she was a faithful and conscientious worker in the church. When seventeen years of age deceased met Rev. J. C. Anderson, who later became her husband. They were married September 24, 1894, living happily together until she was called home on the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. This union was BETHEL LITERARY SOCIETY Bethel Literary Society opens Monday evening Oct. 6th, at 8:30 p.m, with a debate as the feature of the program. The subject is: Resolved?

Blessed with one son, Clinton, who was born during the second year of their marriage. This son preceded his mother home in 1915. During her life time Mrs. Anderson served in practically all departments of the church, taking her place naturally as a preacher's wife and sharing heartily in the work in every way that her talent and strength made possible. At various times she was director of the choir, teacher in the Sunday school, superintendent of primary department, president of missionary society. While living in Chicago, Mrs. Anderson served as president of the Woman's Civic League of the city. She was president of the executive board of State Federation of Women's Clubs of the state of Illinois. She was treasurer of the conference branch of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society of the Chicago Conference. She served at one time as president of the Conference Branch Woman's Mite Missionary Society of the West Kentucky Convention with headquarters at Louisville, Ky. She was past most noble governor of Household of Ruth No. 553. G. U. O. O. of F. Chicago. Although afflicted for many years it was not until recently that the real nature of Mrs. Anderson's affliction became known. For three years after the death of her son she was under the care of a physician when an attempt was made by Dr. Einer of Chicago to cure without an operation, but this attempt failed. Upon her return to St. Paul early last spring she was more afflicted than she would reveal. On August 6 last she was taken to Rochester, where after a thorough examination it was found that it would be necessary to take a course of treatment in order to prepare for an operation, this because of the condition of her heart. About two weeks before the operation, which took place Tuesday of last week, she was admitted to the hospital, where she expired peacefully at 9:18 o'clock Wednesday evening, September 24, thus closing a life of usefulness. A faithful and loving husband, Rev J. C. Anderson, survives. Solo by Louis Owens, accompanied by Walter E. Gossette.As stated before, Rev. H. E. Stewart was master of ceremonies. Rev. I. N. Daniels, pastor of St. John's church, who is an old time friend of Rev. Anderson, preached the funeral sermon. His text was from the 14th verse and the 14th chapter of the book of Job. Rev. Daniels went on to state that he had worked in the mines with Rev. Anderson 38 years ago in Iowa, that they were boys together and had been steadfast friends for all those years and worked together in the work of the Lord; that they were both converted and joined the church at the same time. In closing he paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Mrs. Anderson, and declared that she was one of the best women that had ever lived here on this earth. Rev. W. D. Cook, pastor of Bethel church, also paid a fine and eloquent tribute to the memory of Mrs. Anderson and imparted words of comfort to her husband. At the conclusion of the remarks of Bishop L. J. Coppin, which were very touching and made a most profound impression upon the vast number of people present. The remainder of the services were conducted by Mrs. Eaton and Mrs. Clemmons in behalf of the Household of Ruth. The earthly remains were laid to rest in Oakwood Cemetery. Mrs. Anderson was a loveable woman, always modest and unassuming and always entertaining the largest measures of consideration for the rights of others. She always wore a very pleasant smile on her pleasing face and she will be greatly missed by her constant and devoted husband and hosts of true friends. John H.

Majors, M. D. In these days of unsettled conditions resultant of the war and the chaotic shadow that tinges our noblest effort with certain gloom and forebodings it seems to us that men gifted with a versatile nature and who edit news papers should be as temerate as it is possible. Taking a horoscopic view of every little thing through a microscope necessarily makes the thing appear monstrous and of fearful proportions. Making a mountain out of a mole hill is the idea. Why ever since the time that Cain had an alteration with Abel, men have been killing each other. Perfidy with treacherous tread has horrified mankind with general cussedness. Tyranny and oppression has been the game of urge to struggle forward and to higher planes. Crime is written in the blood of races from our earliest periods of history. The spirit to take by conquest has ever emphasized the dare devil spirit in man from which patriotism sprang. The orgies of ugly infamy has played sad havoc with all the races of mankind. It is not to be supposed that the races stepped in the black mire of every festering growth of a cancerous blood-streaming age would do acts of horrid deviltry less to those they hate. They are killing each other with clock like regularity. Where is there room to hope where hell lights up their road to maddening power and fiendish lust? It has ever been as now. No new and August devil-star has lit ablaze our firmament. The death blood stream continues to run blood red no less than centuries agone. Whenever man places barriers to man's ambition the devil step of demons measure death thrones for ambitious aims. Nothing new, nothing old, the same old thing in the same old way.

Now that things are quieting down a bit, and investigations of the roiters is trickling thru the courts our friend Maclay Hoyne is getting a chance to reflect on the harm his whoisale indictment of a race of people may do. He is doubtless finding out that it is one thing to shander a people and another thing to find himself guiltless of charges impossible for him to prove. Further along when more of his low-brow friends whom he calls rowdies are convicted by his own machinery he may find it consistent with good breeding to take back his hellish onslaught of assailment of the second ward and ask forgiveness. Even hunded justice is more than we as a race of people can expect of his kind, but we wish to insist that he let the legal mill grind on, and if the Lord don't help him and his low-brow friends, old Chicago will likely get a cleaning she has needed for many days.

NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS BRINGING NEGRO'S CASE INTO COURT. Plans Perfected for Great Conference of Colored Americans in Washington Next Week—Workable Program for Race Protection to be Adopted. Brown, has led in the effort to have a colored man named on the Industrial Commission, which is about to confer with President Wilson on the vital economic problems of the hour, and it is expected that a member of this Commission will address the Congress. An opportunity will be given to hear from representatives of the Negro press, which has stood so loyally by the race at every turn and contributed so generously to the success of every move. (Special to The Broad AX.) The "advance guard" of the delegates from all over the country to attend the Fourth Annual (or "Suffrage Session") of the National Race Congress of America, is already beginning to put in its appearance. Final wires from active agents in the field bring most encouraging messages, and the success of the great conference of Negro race builders is fully assured. It is evident that every State in the Union, where there is an appreciable colored population will be represented, and by men and women who stand for the best thought, and most responsible activities of the race. With sanity and a clear vision for the practical, these constrictive forces can be depended upon to adopt a strong and workable program for the protection of the 12,000,000 Colored Americans for whom they are commissioned to speak. Sessions of Congress at Metropolitan Baptist Church. President W. H. Jernigan makes an announcement that there will be held three sessions daily at the spacious Metropolitan Baptist Church, R. street, near 27th, opening on the morning of October 27th and continuing through the 11th. He directs particular attention, however, to the annual sermon, to be delivered on Monday evening, October 6th, by Rev. A. B. Check, of Newark, N. J. National Chaplain of the Congress, and it is urged that all delegates so arrange their coming as to be in the city at that time to hear this inspirational keynote and appeal for Diving guidance. Rev. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, has planned every convenience for the comfort of the delegates, and arrivals should place themselves at once in touch with the national headquarters of the Congress Third and Eye Streets, northwest, or with Dr. Norman and his reception committee at his church. Washington proverbially hospitable, is extending its warmest welcome to all. In addition to the splendid array of speakers and many outstanding features of the Race Congress already announced, it is expected that addresses will be presented by United States Senator Medill McCormick, of Illinois, United States Senator Walter E. Edge, of New Jersey, Representative L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, Attorney William H. Harrison, of Chicago; and Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington's Municipal Court. Addresses of welcome will be delivered by the Hon. Louis Brownlow, President of the Board of District Commissioner and Rev. M. W. D. Norman, with responses by Rev. W. H. Stokes, of Richmond, Va., and others. Besides informing reports from Dr. W. H. Jernigan on his journey to France and the international aspect of the race problem, and from the various special Commissions on Education, Labor and Economies, Transportation Reforms, Political Conditions, Business Outlook and the Emergency Defense Fund, a statement will be made touching the conference of the Industrial Committee of the Congress with Judge E. H. Gary, official head of the United States Steel Corporation, bearing upon the disturbed labor situation and the future of the Negro as an industrial factor in the North. The Congress through Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Prof John R. Hawkins and Rev. W. C 一 Congress Program Brown, has led in the effort to have a colored man named on the Industrial Commission, which is about to confer with President Wilson on the vital economic problems of the hour, and it is expected that a member of this Commission will address the Congress. An opportunity will be given to hear from representatives of the Negro press, which has stood so loyally by the race at every turn and contributed so generously to the success of every movement designed to promote its morale. Captain Edward L. Snyder, of Philadelphia, who rendered efficient service overseas with a fighting regiment of the A. E. F., will present photographs of great historical value through an illustrated lecture on "The Accomplishments of the Negro Soldier Abroad," and as a tribute to the Congress will give six lines on the screen, from President Jernigan's advice to his people at the Newark session of the National Baptist Convention. The Washington churches, fraternities and civic organizations are taking a lively interest in the Congress and will turn out en masse. An "open door" is offered to all who believe in a 100 per cent American citizenship for the Negro and that the BALLOT is the basic guarantee of its fullest enjoyment. New York,—School children all over the country will take an active part in the memorial campaign to Theodore Roosevelt, which will be held during the week of October 20-27, and which will have its culmination on the last mentioned date, October 27. Under the auspices of the Roosevelt Memorial Association, commemorative exercises are to be held in schools in all the states, in several of which October 27 has already been named by the educational authorities as "Roosevelt Day." Roosevelt was particularly the advocate and friend of children. It was but natural that his lifelong interest and zest in games and outdoor sports of all kinds, his fame in great hunting exploits, his active participation in one of our foreign wars, and his picturesque and forceful personality should have made him a appealing figure to American youth. To millions of boys and girls in this country he was a hero. In arranging for the commemorative exercises in the schools—public, private and parochial—it is particularly the purpose of the Roosevelt Memorial Association to perpetuate the inspiration and stimulus of his life upon the lives of the boys and girls of the United States, to impress on them the example of his characteristic fearlessness, sense of humor and fair play, his aggressive righteousness, and his intense love of country, and to inspire in them the desire to emulate his standards of life and conduct. To further this aim, copies of a booklet containing a biographical sketch of Colonel Roosevelt, together with a number of brief excerpts from his writings and addresses, will be distributed to the pupils. Chapters from his books, characteristic stories of him, and addresses of his having special appeal to children will be read by teachers and pupils in the commemorative exercises. Those pupils who wish may contribute to the fund for the permanent memorials which is being raised by the Association. To every school making a contribution to the fund, no matter how large or small the amount engraved certificates, 11 inches by 14 inches, suitable for framing, will be presented. In Idians, the State Board of Education has already named October 24 to be observed in the schools throughout the state as "Americanization Day," in honor of Theodore Roosevelt. The Indiana Parent-Teachers' Association and the Federation of Public ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. --- School Teachers are co-operating with the State Woman's Committee of the Roosevelt Memorial Association' in obtaining a state-wide observance of the day in the schools. Booth Tarkington, George Ade, and Meredith Nicholson are collaborating with Linnaeus N. Hines, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and E. U. Groff, Superintendent of the Indianapolis Schools, in preparing a suitable program for the day. ARRIVALS AT BEAUTIFUL IDLEWILD. 50 E. 33rd Street, Chicago, Ill. T. R. Thompson, Denver, Colo. H.

The skeleton ostrich feathers make a striking trimming for this exquisite headgear of velvet. LATE STYLES IN GOWNS AND HATS Pannier Returns and Hoops About Hips May Be Seen— Sleeves at Vanishing Point. BLACK AND WHITE POPULAR Colora Form Favorite Combination at French Stripes in Narrow and Wide Arrangements—Skirts Are Very Short. From all signs this will be a decisive season in Paris in so far as fashion creation is concerned. The designers seem to have taken on their old accustomed stride. They have turned their efforts unreservedly to leadership in the world of style. To aid them in this crucial moment there are arriving from the United States, from South America, and from England hosts of buyers and fashion experts to watch the latest developments. This is almost a new experience. At least it is a revived experience, for through the last five years only the most favored of buyers have been allowed to cross the water and only a few of the dressmakers have kept up their work with anything like pre-war vigor. American women during the war have developed a style all their own. They are dressing now as suits the climate and their life and their pursuits, which are quite different from the French woman's. And one sympathizes with the buyers, who wonder whether their clients at home will refuse to accept the wonderful things brought over from France. If their eyes are trained only for beauty they will be dazzled into letting all their accumulated notions of dress go by the board and the conservatives at home will not be suited. At this time of the year all of France, as all of the rest of the world, seeks a cool spot; and so it is at Deauville and the other resorts by the seaside that one looks upon the fashionably arrayed crowd of women and is able to gain some idea of the trend of the times as regards dress. They are wearing the very latest things from a French point of view, and, of course, the majority of the fall fashions will follow in some respects the lines favored just now. Skirts Are Very Short. Well, the tendency is all in the direction of the skirts that are shorter than anything America has worn or even dreamed about. You hear it said that the Parisians are wearing their skirts very long, but when you see them with their skirts actually extending just below their knees, so that when their arms are raised the skirt pulls above the knee, you know what a short skirt really is. It is easy on material and is extremely good looking when the figure of the wearer can stand the strain. The skirts are tight, too, but what matters that when their length is what it is? No trouble about taking a good, long step in a dress of this character. Then the coats, when it is a suit, reach almost to the bottom of the skirts, leaving, in fact, only about two or three inches of the skirt to be seen. The coats are either strictly tailored or they show a little fullness about the hips. That tells a story of forthcoming fullnesses of even greater volume. It is so with the dresses. Always there is a slight gathering of extra material where the hips join the waist. It is the pannier that is greeting us on the broad highway of fashion. As yet it is not large enough nor full enough to be alarming, though there are ru mors of hoops about the hips and even about the bottoms of the skirts. The sleeves now in vogue can hardly be called sleeves. They actually are just a little strip of material over the top of the shoulder. In most instances that is all, and the Parisians wear them fearlessly for morning and afternoon. In the evening there is no sign to be seen of sleeves. Even the blouses for wear with tailored suits are scantily equipped as to sleeves. They will be quite high at the neck, buttoning up under the chin most uncomfortably on a hot day, and then they will have these little, inadequate sleeves—that is, they are inadequate for anything except setting off a good-looking arm. Indeed, a Frenchwoman's dress of the present mode is little more than two strips of material sewed together and cut kimono fashion, though the lines of her frock are not flowing; they follow the outline of her figure. Evening gowns, far from being an exception to this rule, carry things to an exaggerated degree. The economical use of material there extends to the neckline, which not only opens at back to the waist, but sometimes below that point. These gowns are low in front also. All that is used for the bodices are two pointed strips of material on either side of the front. In order to keep this on there are strings of jewels or beads attached to the points strung around the neck, and from the back of the neck strung to the waistline again. It is the fabric of the evening gown that counts for everything and its draping. Favorite Color Combination. Black and white is by all odds the favorite color combination at the French resorts at this time of the year. Black and white stripes, since early spring, have been very good for separate skirt dresses and for suits, as well as for topcouts. Now the new woolly fabrics are appearing, and they show these stripes in wide and narrow arrangements. Then there is the black gown with the white hat; that is the most effective. This season they are wearing over the white hat, which is sans trimming, a black, lacy veil. This makes the costume even more effective. The veil does not necessarily cover the face—in fact, it rarely does—but its lacy pattern is so distributed that the white showing through the black transparent pattern makes a trimming of its own. Another black and white combination is that of the white frock, usually of taffeta, and the black picture hat. Black shoes and stockings are worn with this, and then, in the most startling instances, a red or a brilliant green parasol is carried. White silk jersey frocks form effective portions of these black and white combinations. Hats Without Trimming. The hats, as a forecast of fall head-gear, are mostly without trimming. The style is all in the line, but how that line is obtained is a complete mystery. Upon examination the riddle only becomes more complicated. There seems to be nothing there except a band of something stiff to fit about the head. The crown and the brim are entirely without inner stiffening or frame. The trick does not allow for explanation. It is all in the wizard who causes it to be. Yet, when this seeming mass of velvet or satin is put on the head it takes a shape and form that commend it to any wearer. It seems to have been made to set off at its best that face alone, and while you cannot say that the hat is round or oval or square or long, still it has shape. The felt blocked hats worn with midseason gowns are round as to crown and as to brim as well. The brim turns up at the same distance all the way round and the only trimming for the hat is a silk band of the same color. Hats of this character in beige and taupe worn with navy blue suits are effective. Then there is another variation of this hat done in duvelyn. FOR HOOP SKIRTS Paris Dressmaker Is Insistent on the Subject. Pannier Outline, in Exaggerated Form, Also a Specialty—Predict Crinolines for Winter Wear. Of all the famous Paris dressmakers Callot is the one who is most insistent on the subject of hooped skirts and "barrel" outlines. It is not that one does not see other styles than these chez Callot, only that the pannier outline, even in exaggerated form, is a specialty of the Maison, says a fashion writer. Take for example the really lovely evening dress. A ball costume made of sapphire-blue taffetas with a wide, stiffened flounce of lace tinted to match the silk. This model was really simple in detail but essentially decorative and "tres Callot." The corsage was cut in a deep V back and front, and the sleeves were nonexistent, chains of sapphire beads falling gracefully over the upper arms. Of embroideries there were none and this is an unexpected happening in this day of elaborate, hand-worked decorations. The top of the dress was very full and gathered at the waist, but the silk was so soft and supple that there was no appearance of bunchiness. Then the deep lace flounce was gathered and set on with a heading and underneath there was a slip of dull silver tulle finely plaited. This slipskirt did not show at all, except through the meshes of the lace flounce as the latter almost reached the ankles. It is said, and confidently, that next winter we shall find crinolines worn again. This I do not believe; at least I do not believe they will be worn by the average woman, though they may make their appearance on the stage, and, perhaps, in certain circles where sensational toilette are appreciated. All you need to know that crinolines draw. What is certain is that we are drawing nearer and nearer to wider and THE FASHION Robe of "fox glove" pink silk voile edged with taffeta to match. fuller skirts; to something very like what Paul Irbel has called "the barrel outline." And this, when free from exaggeration, is really charming. Full skirts, made of the most supple stuffs and gathered at the waist, are very comfortable and becoming; also they are easily made. Many of the new casaque-blouses have frills at the sides, over the hips, to give the wide effect; they are quaint and in many cases very pretty. FAD FOR KNITTED SWEATERS Hip-Ruffling Warmers, the Exclusive of Yesterday, Become the Commonplace of Today. Only a very few weeks ago there was a prediction on the part of those who were in the vanguard of fashion for knitted sweaters that ruffled just below the waist and showed a sleeve that was buggy just above the wrist. They were worn by the most exclusive, it was said; and at the resorts you might see them worn by those who haunted the most expensive hotels or who dwelt in the most palatial of cottages. But now—these hip-ruffling sweaters are as common and as usual as enormous ear horns. Every other young girl that leaves shop or office for her little two weeks vacation either takes that sort of sweater with her or knits one while the is away. And so it is. The exclusive of yesterday becomes the commonplace of today and the commonplace of today finds its place in the mission box of tomorrow. Stocks and Jabots High lace or net stocks are no longer a novelty, but are more varied, numerous than ever. And there are many high models, also in embroidered linen, with cravat and jabot or yoke-like sections. Few of these, however, are really practical or becoming. There are new high stocks of white washable satin, with vestes attached, which button straight down the front, with a single row of small white satin buttons. Lace of the coarse mesh variety, such as filelet and Cluny, make charming little coats usually in sailor's shape, for a quilt or square neck. SATIN GOWN, BEADED BODICE DENNIS H. HARRIS DENNIS H. HARRIS This is a charming creation in black satin with black-beaded chiffon bodice over lace blue silk. Garmment for Dressy Wear Promises to Hold Favor According to Fashion Correspondent. The season is marked by the revival of the separate skirt for dressy wear. Some novel forms of drapery and looped panels promise to play a prominent part in the autumn skirts, observes a prominent fashion writer. Lines of distinction characterize the models of recent importation, and the soft silks and satins lend themselves gracefully to the voluminous drapery. The newest skirts are long enough to cover the boot tops and quite wide enough for comfort. The widths at the bottom will vary from a yard and a quarter to a yard and three-quarters, with all widths between. Silk and satin models are inclined to be a bit wider. One smart skirt interpreting the autumn vogue was shown in supply black satin and pale gray crepe. It was draped low about the hips, but in great cascades at the sides. These drapes were turned inside out and faced with the gray crepe. A wide crushed girdle of the material wrapped itself swayly about the waist. To complete this skirt, one wears a lovely blouse of pale gray georgette embroidered with sparkling jet beads. For a pleasing change one might also choose a bodice of black satin with gray trimming, to harmonize with the skirt. FASHION CALL FOR PAJAMAS Garment Gaining Favor for House Wear Instead of Room Robes; Got Over Footlights. The French fashion for wearing ornate and brilliantly-colored pajamas in the house instead of room robes has been taken up in America. The fashion was exploited by the stage and got over the footlights to the public. American women, however, are adopting the Chinese costume, which they call by the name of pajamas. The loose trousers are laced in to fit the ankles, and the feet are slipped into gay Chinese slippers. There is a short tunic in the Chinese manner, worn over the full trousers and often there is a sash in brilliantly-colored Chinese crepe. There's not a gulf of difference fixed between the modern skirt, with its wide hips and tight hem, and the pajamas with their fullness at the hips and their laced ankles. These costumes are made in taffeta, crepe georgette, and heavy taffeta Chinese silk. FASHION NOTES Many little children appear charming in pure yellow frocks. An oillethol motor coat in white and red has three buckled belts. Long-haired furs, like monkey and gray hare, are preferred for trimming. This trimming is usually applied to wide-brimmed leopard and no other ornament is employed. Read frogs are a novelty that forms an interesting trimming for chiffon and other sheer fabrics. They are frogs of the regulation shape, formed of beads string and sewed into place. More and more use of lace, both as a triaming and in combination as a fabric, is noted. The all-lace dress, blouse and hat are here, but the biggest acceptance is of models of lace and geogette, or of lace and net or lace and volle. Evening Blouses Blouses specially designed for evening wear are in pastel colorings of georgette and chiffon, and hair net lace is an effective form of trimming. Stop Thief! THE "Jumbo" gas burner shown here at the right, (actual size) is a robber on any gas lighting fixture in Chicago. If you have one, get rid of it! It makes high gas bills and causes a great many of the complaints that come to us. Claims that a "Jumbo" will give more light without using more gas are false. Use mantle burners to get more light with less gas. Burning five hours a day for a month, the "Jumbo" consumes $2.30 worth of gas; a "Junior" mantle burner, in the same time, consumes only 39 cents worth, or $1.91 less, and gives much more light.

Bees Distinguish Colors Experiments have shown that bees distinguish different colors, but different colors acquire significance for bees when the insects have learned that certain colors are associated with certain nutritive advantages.

They accumulate experience and remember that certain colors are associated with certain nutritive benefits. Uncle Eben Save— "Chillun must be a heap smarter dan dey once was.

Our Different Worlds I once stood in a dome with different colored glass in each window. Thus four men touching each other might each see a different scene; a red ocean, a green city, blue fields, and yellow mountains.

But most of us look through one window, each upon a different world, each world colored by our own individuality.—Robert S. Barrett.
