C., Bearing the Remains of President Harding. © Harris B. Winters THE LATE PRESIDENT WARREN G. HARDING His Sudden Death at San Francisco, Cal., Last Thursday Evening is Universally Mourned Throughout the Whole World. WARN OF WHITE INTENTION TO MANUFACTURE TUS- KEGEE "RACE RIOT" In connection with the report of the arrest of three Negro veterans of the United States Government Hospital in Tuskegee, Alabama, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, has issued a warning of a race riot "manufactured" by Alabama whites to discredit the hospital inmates and colored staff. The Advancement Association's statement reads: "White people have threatened the heads of Tuskegee Institute and have driven away colored men appointed by the United States Veterans' Bureau to fill positions in the Government Hospital at Tuskegee. "Failing to terrorize the United States Government, the white Tuskegee mobists are now attempting to prepare the country for a carefully MRS. WARREN G.

She is One of America's Noblest Women. manufactured 'race riot' at Tuskegee. It is to be expected that if attacked by a mob, the Negroes in Tuskegee will attempt to defend themselves. It is absolutely certain that no Negro in Tuskegee would start violence or would engage in it unless his life were menaced by the white insurrectionists who have been defying the United States Government. It is up to the Government to station sufficient forces in Tuskegee to insure that the whites will not have the old excuse of 'race riot' to murder unoffending colored people." Mr. Charles E. Morrison, special messenger to Mayor William E. Dever, will leave on a two weeks' vacation trip on Friday, August 17, with the Knights of Pythias, for New York City, Boston, Mass.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Atlantic City, N. J.; Baltimore, Md.; Washington D. C., and other points in the east. TWO FUNERAL SERVICES WERE HELD OVER HIS REMAINS AT THE CAPITAL OF THE NATION, AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMY AND THE NAVY. ALL OF HIS MILITARY HONORS WERE SHOWERED UPON HIM. HIS EARTHLY REMAINS WERE TRANSPORTED FROM WASHINGTON ON TO HIS OLD HOME, MARION, OHIO, WHERE THEY WERE DEPOSITED YESTERDAY IN THE RECEIVING VAULT, IN THE CEMETERY OF HIS HOME CITY. THE LAST SAD RITES WERE PLAIN AND SIMPLE AND WERE PARTICIPATED IN BY THE MOST EMINENT MEN, STATESMEN AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THE VARIOUS GOVERNMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CIVILIZED WORLD. The sudden death of President Harding at San Francisco, Cal., last week, after the preachers had offered up long prayers unto the Gods requesting them to spare the life of President Harding and restore him to good health so that he could continue to discharge the duties of his great and responsible office, and after his crack doctors had proclaimed it aloud to all the world that he would soon be well and signing important state papers, will for ages to come furnish highly interesting themes for the greatest writers or historians. The death of President Harding and the millions and millions of people residing in every clime, sadly mourning his passing away reminded us of the days of Alexander the Great, for no man on earth has received the homage like unto him aside from the late President Harding, no more worlds to conquer. Alexander was cut off in the prime of his life more than three thousand miles away from the seat of his kingdom. His body was incased in a coffin of pure gold, lined with alabaster, and three years were consumed in transporting his remains to their final resting place and his funeral pageant was witnessed by millions of his loyal The Temple assembled Tuesday morning, August 7th at 18th Street and Michigan Avenue and marched under the direction of Major R. R. Jackson, with his Patrol and the Knights Templar Band, to the Big Four Station at 12th and Park Row, where there was awaiting them a massive train, consisting of four Pullman cars, one diner, one club car, one combination baggage car and three day coaches. Promptly at nine o'clock more than 200 Nobles, their wives and friends boarded the same. With this train the Big Four thought so much of this delegation that they had accompany it. Mr. Hayes, Travelling Passenger Agent. Without any mishap this pilgrimage arrived in Indianapolis at 2:20 P. M. Immediately upon leaving the train they formed a line of march and headed by the Patrol and Knights Templar band, they marched to Headquarters, where they will THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1923 subjects. The whole world (as it were) was darkened by the weeping and mourning of the people over the loss of their ruler and military hero. The demonstration over the remains of President Harding can also be fittingly compared to the time or the days when the Roman Empire was at the height of its power, glory and prosperity. In those days it was no uncommon sight to behold millions of Romans in all of their military grandeur following to the grave the remains of their beloved empire ruler or warrior whom they adored or so highly esteemed. This same idea being planted in the breasts of all the people everywhere, it is no more than natural for the people residing on every part of the earth to make a loud outcry over the death of President Harding. It seems very hard for the vast majority of the people to understand that life is short and death is long; that man's dwelling house is but his lodging; that his eternal habitation is the tomb. In view of all of the foregoing, it can be truthfully said that the chief executive of this mighty nation has been honored in death. Like unto Alexander the Great, he breathed be during the Imperial Council in Indianapolis. On account of the death of the President, Warren G. Harding, both at Chicago on parade and in Indianapolis, the band played "Onward Christian Soldiers" with bowed heads. We realized the sad occasion for which this hymn was played. Many of the Nobles motored from Chicago. Noble A. L. Williams, Noble Thomas H. Samuel, and others. The city of Indianapolis is all aglow with decorations of all descriptions or business houses and residences throughout the city in honor of the occasion. One can readily see the difference in the attitude of the citizen of Indianapolis from those of the several Southern states including Washington, D. C., where former sessions of the Imperial Council have been held. Everything is harmony, even in the Imperial Council. It is already predicted, at the opening of the Imperial Council that the Imperial Potentate, Caesar R. Blake, will be elected unanimously to succeed himself. The III. Potentate, Stewart C. Jefferson, Arabia Temple No. 44, the III. Recorder, Wm. Jones, and Past Potentate, R. I. Hodge, left Chicago on Sunday evening on account of having to meet the Imperial Divan, and each of them deplored the his last breath of life three thousand miles away from the seat of government and at every town, city and hamlet for over three thousand miles from San Francisco, Cal., on to Washington, D. C., and from there on to his old home, Marion, O., millions of sorrowing men, women and children stood for many hours in the hot sun or in the down pouring rain, bareheaded, feeling themselves highly honored to do so in order to catch a slight glimpse of the funeral train as it slowly wended its way by them on to the capital of the greatest republic on earth. No doubt it has been very pleasing to Mrs. Harding to know and realize that her late distinguished husband has been honored in death to a far greater extent than any king or potentate that has ever lived in any part of this world. At this time we are unable to review the political career of the late President, but there was one thing in the make up of President Harding which endeared him into the hearts of his fellow-men everywhere and that he was a man of peace and he was not in favor of re-baptising this fair land in a sea of human blood! fact that they could not join with the delegation at Chicago. It is predicted that Noble A. L. Williams and Noble Thos. H. Samuels will be elected Fast Potentates, which honor Arabic Temple should feel proud of, thus giving to our Temple the greatest honor of any Temple heretofore during any one session of the Imperial Council. Major R. R. Jackson, with a poked-out chest says that his Patrol is certain to win first prize, and they will bring the bacon back home. Arabic Temple will have the honor of being the first Temple after this session to have the distinction of having an official visit from the Imperial Potentate. Immediately after the session is over, the Imperial Potentate, Caesar R. Blake, Sr., accompanied by members of the Divan will leave for Chicago, where he will make his first official talk to a subordinate Temple. Ill. Potentate Stewart C. Jefferson. Noble A. L. Williams, and Noble Sandy W. Trice are doing everything in their power to make Arabic Temple what it is entitled to be at this session, and they are succeeding wonderfully, as all of the Nobles throughout the jurisdiction are giving homage to the greatest Temple among them. Noble Sandy W. Trice shows himself to be a master chairman of transportation committees. SCHENYER Photo HON.

The plighted troth at the altar that joins two young hearts in one is the emphasized recognition of decency and respectability. The perpetuation of this sacred acknowledgment is a very serious contemplation and genuine society places its seal upon the escutcheon of virtue, honor and truth. Sailing under the auspicious halo of pure loves adventure is a joyful tame, in fact, the noblest scheme mankind has to claim against all that is contrary to the happiness and the largest hope of humanity. So much seems to have been lost in our human nature climbing towards the true goal of our better selves. What a fearful day seems to have come upon us! To retrograde, to retard, or to arrest the noblest effort of our civilization seems to be the rule, when we are about to lose heart, or take merely a slight glance at the problems of social life. That the fitter survive brings assurance that offers to our impatient souls joys indescribable. The weak, the ignoble and the irreverent give out on the way to self betterment and fall as well as fail because of an unkind environment, and unfortunate parentage. There is a striving in the heart of the most undaunted son of fortune, who fears the name and awful charm of virtue. The home is the equilibrium of hu- THE NEW YORK TIMES [Name] MR. SANDY W.

He Was the Founder, Owner and President of the Conroy Tank and Boiler Company and He Stood Well With the Business Men of Chicago. Sunday afternoon, July 29, the late Thomas B. Conroy peacefully closed his eyes in death at his home, 1638 W. Marquette Road. At the time of his peaceful passing away, he was clasped in the arms of his loving and devoted wife, Mrs. Catherine Conroy. He had been ill for two years and for more than nine months he was confined to his room and all that time his dutiful wife ministered unto him as gently and as tenderly as she would have done for a little child. Mr. Conroy was born in Galway, Ireland sixty-two years ago. Mr. Conroy was the guest of the late Admiral Evans on the world tour of the United States navy and achieved national prominence when he was designated to head the expedition going to the relief of Admiral E. Peary. During the world war for democracy, he was so interested in the success of his adopted country on the battlefields of France, that he induced Mr. Joseph F. Murphy, secretary of his company and several other of his man life. The woes of the world more often are mitigated and most frequently wholly dispelled by the charm and grandeur of the fireside. On the contrary view, if you please, the fearful consequences which await the ignorant unfit man or woman who unfortunately are carried down the whirlpools of degradation because they disregard the grandeur and holiness of the home. Nothing worth while ever enters the mind of him or her who becomes imprisoned in this hell of selfish desires. Once they knew decency and may have loved the pure and the true, but now ambition has made them slaves to the infamy of hell.

FRANCE'S BLACK PRINCES FIGHT CAFE EJECTION Paris.—The two black princes, sons of King Dahomey, who were thrown out of a Montmartre hotel at the request of American patrons Tuesday, engaged M. Moro Giaffre, one of the best known French criminal lawyers, to prosecute the case on account of the government's attitude of defense of Negroes against tourists. This is expected to be a test case, proving the right of colored people to enter de luxe restaurants and hotels with the same privileges as any other person. Americans who object to the presence of colored people may be deported. The government is thrown into an uncomfortable position between offending thousands of American tourists—it is estimated that 250,000*passed through Paris last summer—or offending the majority of the population of the French empire. We are always firmly in favor of law and order but we honestly feel that the sons of the King of Dahomey would have been perfectly justified in shooting the living life out of those narrow-minded race prejudiced Americans who so grossly interfered with their civil rights.—Editor.

Thank God for that. Mr. Williams is doing a big work. Back to Kansas City, Rev. Ed- ward Wittenburg, hitched up his auto- ‘mobile car carriage, and he has a Hup- ‘mobile, and went down to the C. & A. ‘stable to meet me.

He is bound to be one of the bishops, because as I told you be- fore he is an educated Christian gen- tleman, and 2 man who is friendly with everybody and at the same time is highly respected. Who can keep such aman down? None would try. Now you see 1 am getting ready to go down and hear the Governor of Arkansas speak to the business men of my group. He is going to welcome the National Negro Business League to Arkansas. I am sure that Governor McCrea will have something to say. ‘This statehas been changed to the wonder state, and they are striving to put things on the market that will count.

CHARLES E. STUMP. NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE On Tuesday last, the quarterly meeting of the Executive Board of this National Urban League was held in the Russell Sage Foundation build- ing, New York City, at which’ time the financial report of the League's work for the first half year indicated that the National organization has ex- pended $25,210.91 in furthering its work. The Exeentive Secretary, Eugene Kinckle Jones, reported the”formation gf the St. Paul Urban League which is beginning to handle the social prob- lems of the Negro new-comers in St. Paul. The St. Paul organization, be- ginning November first, will be sup- ported by the Community Chest of that city. The League is now making social surveys in Waterbitry, Connec- ticut and Buffalo, N. Y. A. L. Foster, former Boys’ Work Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. it Columbus, Ohio, has been appointed Executive Secretary of the Canton Ohio Urban League and Samuel A Allen, Principal of the Public Schools of Lawnside, N. J., and a School Ex aminer, has been appointed Executive Secretary of the Boston Urban League. , The Urban League plans to hold its Annual Conference in Kansas City Mo., October 16th to 19th at whick time problems of Health, Housing and Industry in connection with the migra- tion of Negroes to the North will be discussed. The League's Director of Research and Investigations—Charles_S. John- son—who is also Editor of “Oppor- tunity” made a comparative report of the findings in the surveys made in Hartford, Connecticut; Baltimore, Maryland; Flushing, L. 1, and Mil- waukee, Wis, The League decided to award four fellowships of approximately $600 each for the next school year of the New York School of Social Work and the Carnegie Institute of Technology. ‘A resolution was passed on the re- cent death of Dr. William H. Brooks who was one of the founders of each of the three organizations which merged in 1911 to form the National Urban League. The resolution reads as follows: “Dr. William H. Brooks was one of the founders of the National Urban League just as he had been of each of the three organizations which subse- quently were merged to form the Na- tional Urban Leagie. His wise coun- sel and sympathetic. understanding were important factors in moulding the policy of the League and’ in de- veloping a finer and more efficient spirit of co-operation between the races. “In his death, the League and the cause it espouses have lost a true and staunch friend. His spirit and the good effects of the work he did will never die, however, and it is therefore with great appreciation of his work that we record in our Minutes” our deep sense of gratitude at having had the good fortune to be associated with such a soul.” PLEASANT AUTOMOBILE TRIP TO WILMETTE LAST SUNDAY AFTER- NOON. EIGHT AUTOS JOINED IN THE CALVALADE, WHICH WAS HEADED BY HON. ADELBERT H. ROBERTS. THE PARTY WAS ROYALLY ENTER- TAINED BY SCULPTOR CHARLES HAAG AND HIS WIFE, MRS. SOFIA HAAG. Last Sunday afternoon, eight auto- mobiles loaded down with men and women left the Appomattox Club ‘well on towards four o'clock bound for the beantiful home of the noted sculp- turer, Mr, and Mrs. Charles Haag, at Wilmette, where they had the extreme honor and pleasure of inspecting his latest model which he is designing of the immortal Abraham Lincoln, under the direction of Hon. A. H. Roberts member of the Legislature of Ilfinois from the Third Senatorial District, The following were the most prom- inent members of the auto party: Hon. and Mrs, Adelbert H. Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Morsell, Dr. Fan- nie Emanuel, Mr. and Mrs. McKinley Emanuel, Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Davis, Hon, and Mrs. J. Gray Lucas, Mr. Julius F. Taylor, Col. W. E. Mollison, Mr. H. A. Watkins, Mrs. AL A. Brown, Miss Edna Clanton, Mr. Willis V, Jefferson, Mr. A. Winn, Mr. How- afd Cornwell, Dr. Robert H. Har- din, My. Adolph Sims, and Mr. and Mrs. Francis C. Stradford. The model of Mr. Lincoln is yet in a crude.state, but when it is completed it will Fepresent a life sized figure of him for it will be 16 feet high from its base to the top of the head of Mr. Lincoln, which will be partly inclosed with narrow strips of highly polished bronze. On each side, not far from its base will contain a drinking foun- tain and on the front facing will con- tain a figure of a beautiful young colored woman, a wreath, and a col- ored man, with a broken chain fall- ing from his ankle as he is in the act of taking his first step toward freedom or Liberty. It will be recalled that two years ago, through the efforts of Mr. Rolerts, the Legislature of this state set aside fifteen thousand dollars to be expended in buying the eighty feet of REV. H. E. STEWART HAS CLEANED UP ALL OF THE IN- DEBTEDNESS AGAINST QUINN CHAPEL Last Sunday, the members and friends of Quinn Chapel, under the guidanée of their.spiritual leader, Rev. H. E. Stewart, wound up the seventy- fifth anniversary of the founding of Quitin Chapel. When Rev. Stewart was put in charge of it five years ago, its indebtedness amounted to well on to twenty thousand dollars which had been running against it for many years and on last Sunday, which was a great day of rejoicing on the part of its oldest members and numerous friends, every dollar which it owed was wiped off the books. Now after seventy-five years of self- denial and hard struggling on the part of its members, Quinn Chapel stands ground adjoining the old Lincoln homestead in Springfield and the cit- izens of Springfield contributed. three thousand dollars to assist to beautify it and Mr. Roberts being chairman of the sub-committee of the appropria- tion committee of the House of Rep- resentatives of Illinois places his O.K. ‘on every dolfar before it is paid out in any direction, Therefore Mr. Roberts is highly re- solved ty Art 8 movenlent om ft te raise twenty-one thousand dollars from the colored people of Illinois to, be ‘used in erecting a Fountain of Liberty right near the main entrance of the old home of Abraham Lincoln as out- lined above, the Fountain of Liberty as stated before, will cost twenty-one thousand dollars for the large size 16 feet high or fifteen. thousand dollars for one 11 feet high. It will stand on the Lincoln Highway which will ex- ten@*from President Lincoln's home to his tomb and ‘on to Salem, Illinois and to other points which were so near and dear to him when he was here on earth.

Mr. and Mrs. Haag were charming hosts and in. every way they made it very pleasant for their guests. and while Mr. Haag is a master sculpturer, his lovable and charming wife, Mrs. Haag is also an artist and some of her very artistic paintings and draw- ings adorn the walls of their lovely a forth today absolutely free 1rom debt, thanks to its great general and pastor, Rev.

The Committee, in session here a few days ago, called up the authorities to do their utmost to put down mob violence, and all good citizens were urged to stand behind the officers and the courts in all efforts to this end. Attention was called also to the need of giving the governor authority to deal effectively with sheriffs, who are delinquent in their duties. The legislature was asked to provide more generously for colored schools of higher grade and each county was urged to build at least one good school of this character. The Committee called attention to the valuable work done by the few colored farm and home demonstration agents in the state, and the employment of such agents in every county was recommended as a means of teaching the people how to make a living under boll weevil conditions. The Committee asked the legislature to appropriate $15,000 for a training school for delinquent girls and also emphasized the need for a state tuberculosis sanitarium for colored patients. It was reported that the woman's section of the committee had secured funds for the employment of a colored public health nurse to work throughout the state, organizing and training groups to look after maternal and infant welfare. During the past two years the committee, through its secretary, Dr. T. J. Woofter, Jr., has directed its efforts largely to the suppression of mob violence, through public sentiment and court procedure. During that time the number of lynchings has greatly de- --- Chas.
