GIVES $1,000,000 TO HAMPTON-TUSKEGEE INSTITUTES FUND New York.—John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has given $1,000,000 to the Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes for Negroes, it was announced by Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, chairman of the special gifts committee of the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund. Mr. Rockefeller's donation was made unconditionally, and brings the endowment now being raised to $3,500,000. In a letter accompanying his gift, Mr. Rockefeller said: "Inasmuch as I have been profoundly interested in these schools ever since my father took me as a small boy to visit Hampton, when Gen, Armstrong was its head; because they provide an education which fits boys and girls to be useful citizens, whether they go forward to higher and professional education or go directly into agriculture, industry or business; because they stress the development of character along with the development of mind and body, and because of my lifelong interest in the colored race, I shall count it a privilege to participate in the campaign to the extent of $1,000,000. As I understand it, this leaves you still $1,500,000 short of your goal." Dr. Stokes characterized Mr. Rockefeller's gift as marking "the union of all those forces whose cooperation must be secured if the Negro is to be given an adequate opportunity in our country, and if we are to have increasingly interracial peace and good will."

MARTIN B. MADDEN, MR.

HON. WILLIAM B. McKINLEY, UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS, FURNISHED THE EDITOR OF THIS NEWSPAPER WITH A TICKET WHICH ENABLED HIM TO ENTER THE RESERVED SECTION OF THE SENATE GALLERY, WHERE HE WITNESSED, ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, THE SWEARING IN OF HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN AS UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS. SPOTTED TAIL, LEADER CHARGE, WAR BONNET, MAKE GOOD, PRETTY BIRD—THE FIVE BIG INDIAN CHIEFS, EACH ONE REPRESENTING 10,000 SIOUX INDIANS FROM SOUTH DAKOTA—TRAVELED FROM THIS CITY ON TO WASHINGTON, WHERE THEY MET PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, ON THE CAPITOL LIMITED. Sunday, March 1, shortly before noon, the writer boarded the first section of the Capitol Limited, which is the finest and fastest train running over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad between this great city and Baltimore, Md., Washington, D. C., Philadelphia, Pa., and New York City. In short it is by far the finest and the fastest train or palace running on wheels on any railroad in America today. The writer was headed for the three wonderful cities mentioned above. Each passenger on entering the Pullman Palace Cars are presented with a card by a nice neat looking young colored woman which contains the following reading matter on one side: "The Capitol Limited, All-Pullman train between Baltimore and Washington and Chicago, train secretary, barber, valet, shower-bath, maid, manicure, charges for such services and for pressing clothing for both ladies and gentlemen are reasonable and so on. On the back of the card the following matter appears on it: On the club and observation cars you may enjoy many of the comforts and conveniences of the club and hotel. In the Club Car (located at the forward end of the train) you may lounge, smoke, read and chat at any time during the trip. The Observation Car (located at the rear end of the train) will be found of special convenience to women passengers. From its spacious platform one may enjoy the beautiful and ever-changing scenery. Telephone connection made from this car while at Baltimore (Mt. Royal Station). Washington and Chicago. The Club and Observation Cars contain easy, movable chairs, current magazines, writing desk and stationery, telegraph and mail service. Train Secretary The Train Secretary may be called to any part of the Train to take dictation. His services are free. Maid Service Maid Service The Ladies' Maid will be of assistance to women traveling alone or with children. You are cordially invited to make free use of her services. The Ladies' Maid is also a competent manicurist. The charge for this service is 75 cents. The Porter of your car will arrange for the services of the Maid, at your request. There are many other homelike pleasant features in connection with this rolling palace on wheels. A young colored man dressed in a white English broadcloth suit trimmed with large gold buttons, with a basket on his arm wends his way through the entire length of the train, selling candies, chewing gum, ice cream cones, hot chicken sandwiches and so on. The same young colored man furnishes each passenger with a copy of the morning and evening newspapers published in Chicago, New York City, Baltimore or Philadelphia or Washington, D. C., free of charge, each copy of the paper contains the following notation on the front page in the right hand corner: "The Capitol Limited, Compliments of the Baltimore & Ohio." The Capitol Limited consisted of sixteen steel Pullman Palace cars, loaded down to the guards and it seemed that the whole earth shook and trembled as the long palace on wheels continued to rumble through the country at breakneck speed. In turning the sharp curves or corners around the mountains it was no trouble to look out the window and see the engine running around a corner away in front of you and to behold the end of the last car coming around the corner away behind you. Every time the engineer would toot his whistle it sounded as though the engine was one thousand miles away from nowhere. Several times while the Capitol Lim ited was running at its highest rate of speed and making more noise than the onrushing of a mighty storm, we thought that the old engine and the whole train would jump right square over into the Potomac River, but it did not fly off the tracks and it continued to rush on and on while winding around the Blue Ridge Mountains, rushing through some beautiful valleys, and such thriving cities as Cumberland, Frederickstown, Hagerstown, Harper's Ferry, on and on the old engine madly rushed for two powerful engines were at Cumberland, Md., attached to the Capitol Limited in order to maintain its high rate of speed. The old engines puffed and snorted, panted and squealed, lunged forward as they rushed on towards Washington, D.C., rushing on through the long tunnel under the city of Baltimore, pulling into the Union Station at the Capitol of the nation promptly on time, on Monday morning, March 2. As far as the writer was able to observe, no other person belonging to our race traveled on the first section of the Capitol Limited between this city and Washington, D. C., and it is a great pleasure to state that every person connected with the Capitol Limited, both white and colored, treated us with the greatest respect and with the greatest consideration. On arriving in Washington we made our way to the New Liberty Hotel, where we had secured a room ten days prior to that time, through one of our best friends in this country, Mr. Charles J. Pickett, who holds a very responsible position with Hon. William B. M. Kinley, United States Senator from Illinois. One more word in relation to the New Liberty Hotel.

INCREASE OF HEART DISEASE ALARMS MEDICAL CONGRESS Washington, D. C.—Widespread prevalence and prevention of heart disease formed the principal topic of discussion by delegates to the American Congress on Internal Medicine after the holding of 131 clinics in various parts of the city. Dr. Stewart R. Roberts of Atlanta, Ga., asserted that heart disease "is now a general in the army of death, while pneumonia is a mere captain." He presented statistics to show that the ratio of deaths from heart disease and all other causes was one to five, with 150 deaths from the disease for every fifteen automobile fatalities and three for every death from pneumonia.

RACIAL DIFFICULTIES TO CAUSE NEXT WORLD WAR (Preston News Service) St. Louis, Mo., Mar. 13.—Declaring that the causes of the last war were national and that racial difficulties would precipitate the next war, Lester C. Haworth, general secretary of the Y.M.C.A., in an address made at the Second Presbyterian Church Wednesday night. "On account of the fact that the races of the earth are inextricably thrown together," Mr. Haworth said, "there is little question but that the ultimate political problem of the world will be—How Can the Races of the Earth Dwell Together Peacefully?" This question has gathered momentum. The politicians have failed to offer a solution. Nor can the materialistic philosophers representing Western civilization offer an adequate solution. "Thinking men of all races are realizing as never before that the solution to the race problem must be found in the practical application of the teachings of Christ. It is in the power of Western civilization to determine to what extent the Christian religion is to be only a white man's religion. Some radical adjustment in the thinking of leaders of the Christian church must come to pass if Christianity at least within the next few generations is to make a vital contribution to the cause of world peace, which is now threatened by racial misunderstanding, prejudice and animosities. "America has the opportunity of leading the way, for within her gates the race problem manifests itself in a great variety of ways. What shall be our attitude toward the Orientals, of whom almost 200,000 reside in America? Their coming here was largely at our request and their presence is in accordance with America's approval. Even now the controversy can be settled amicably if America will take the right attitude toward the Orientals who are legitimately here." IMPROVING AT PROVIDENT Mrs. Alexander Waddy, 3947 Prairie Ave., who has been quite ill several weeks, is improving somewhat at Provident Hospital. STILL AT HOSPITAL Mrs. Mamie E. Britton, a pioneer citizen of Chicago, widely known as an active worker in fraternal and church circles, is still confined to the County Hospital on account of illness. ELIZABETH BELLARD FOUND DEAD IN HER ROOM Pittsburgh, Pa., March 13.—Miss Elizabeth Bellard, aged 30 years, of 1837 Webster, avenue, employed in the home of I. Rappenport, was found dead in her room Friday morning. It is said that the woman's death was due to natural causes. Mrs. Sandy W. Trice, 4536 Calumet avenue, wife of S. W. Trice, prominent Churchman, Chief Usher at the Illinois Central R. R. Station and President of the Red Caps' Club, left the city on Tuesday for Hot Springs, Ark. Mrs. Trice has not been well for the past fortnight and is going to the Springs for an extended rest. Her many friends hope to see her return very soon, again well and hearty. Julius F.

(Continued from page 1) cleanest places to stop at in Washington, D. C. Its proprietor, Mr. Joseph 1. Greenlease, ably conducts it in first class order all the time. By ten o'clock on Monday morning, March 2, we were on our way to the Capitol of this the greatest of all the greatest nations on earth and felt proud of the fact that we were able to walk with our head erect and could proclaim to all the world that we were an inseparable part and parcel of the great citizenship of America. Passing on through the Capitol we were headed for the offices of Hon. Martin B. Madden, member of Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois, and the very able chairman of the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives. Congressman Madden occupies the most elaborate suite of offices of any of the public officials in connection with the United States Government at Washington. His rooms are more than one hundred feet long or deep and forty to fifty feet wide. They are furnished in the most lavish and gorgeous manner. Aside from his private secretary, Mr. John Gilbert Nettleton, who has faithfully served him in that capacity for more than twenty-two years. Almost one dozen assistant secretaries are at the beck and call of Congressman Madden and a young colored man occupies a seat on the threshold of the wide doors leading into his rooms and looks every person in the eyes as they enter and depart from the rooms of the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations for the Congress of the United States of America, who has more callers each day than the President of the United States. Congressman Madden was over in the house when we arrived at his office and as no one was able to inform us just when he would return we made up our mind to stroll over that way, and as we approached the door of the House of Representatives our eyes fell upon him. He was surrounded by a big bunch of Congressmen, seemingly all of them were endeavoring to talk at the same time, and just as soon as Congressman Madden behold us he broke away from them. He rushed over to greet us, warmly grasping us by the hand and placing his other hand on our shoulder he exclaimed, "I am glad to see you; I am glad that you are here." Then he said that the session of Congress was rapidly drawing to a close; that the House was in an uproar; that he was sorry that he would not have time to talk to us until Tuesday morning, March 3. In the meantime he requested us to inform his private secretary to secure tickets for us to witness the inaugural ceremonies. On calling on Congressman Madden on Tuesday morning, after enjoying a very pleasant chat with him, he presented us with two tickets which enabled us to witness the inaugural ceremonies and distinctly hear every word which fell from the lips of President Coolidge while delivering his most brilliant and logical inaugural address, which is full of hope and encouragement for all the American people; which will live in the hearts of his fellow countrymen for many ages to come. Senator Charles S. Deneen Monday noon we called at the Senate chambers to pay our respects to Hon. Charles S. Deneen, United States Senator from Illinois. Shortly after sending our card in he came rushing out of the Senate chamber, and running up to us he exclaimed, "by Jove, I am awfully glad to see you," and we responded by saying, "Senator, we feel that we're morally bound to journey to Washington and to see you sworn in as United States Senator from Illinois." Several times he thanked us for being present on that history making occasion, at the same time requesting us to make ourselves at home in his suite of rooms in the Senate Office Building. While he answered present at roll call at 12 o'clock noon on Tuesday, and while his acting secretary, Hon. Joseph Mason of Chicago, was out enjoying his lunch, we were the only person in the office receiving the telegrams, special delivery letters and imparting information to all the visitors. Among the many callers were Judge and Mrs. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 14; 1925 Robert McMurdy, of this city; Hon. Alexander Fyfe, President of the Hamilton Club, Chicago, and Mrs. Charles S. Deneen, who looked so supremely happy and fine that we did not know her at the first glance. Mrs. Deneen was in company with several other ladies and the only thing that we could do for her was to request her to wend her way to the Senate chambers, where she would be able to come in contact with her distinguished husband. The Inaugural Parade The inaugural parade was not what it was in former years but all in all it made a splendid showing as it rounded the Peace monument into Pennsylvania avenue. The first in line was the mounted police who were followed by Major Gen. John G. Hines, chief of staff of the United States Army and grand marshal of the parade. Gen. Hines was attended by Capt. Frank A. Allen, Jr., and Lieut. C. C. Jadwin as aides. Immediately behind marched a color guard of four sergeants, one carrying the American flag, another the general's flag and the other two with rifles. Two orderlies and a trumpeter, all mounted, followed. Brig. Gen. S. D. Rockenbach, commander of the District of Washington and chief-of-staff to the grand marshal: Capt. Kendall J.

Immediately behind the commander and his staff followed the Quantico Marine Band, the 5th Regiment of Marines from the Quantico base, commanded by Col. John F. McGill; the United States Navy Band and a regiment of seamen brought here from the base at Hampton Roads, commanded by Capt. Yates Sterling. Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, commander of the District of Columbia National Guard, headed the second grand division as grand marshal. He was attended by Col. Lloyd M. Brett, U. S. A. retired, and Maj.

The parade "sounded off" from New Jersey avenue and B street southeast, immediately after the President returned to the White House, passing first the inaugural stand along the east front of the Capitol. From there it proceeded to Pennsylvania avenue and Tenth street, where it halted a few minutes while the governors were being taken from the Capitol stand to their places in the second division. Swinging up Pennsylvania avenue, it turned north on Fifteenth street to New York avenue, where it again turned in Pennsylvania avenue and proceeded down the improvised court of honor past the President's review- HOLD GREAT MEETING The Joint Building Association of U.

THE FIVE BIG INDIAN CHIEFS In walking through the Capitol Limited on our way to Washington, D. C., we came in contact with the five big Indian chiefs mentioned above who were on their way to meet President Coolidge, the government paying their expenses to and from Rosebud, South Dakota. Spotted Tail is a big strapping fellow, more than six feet tall and as straight as a lightning rod. He speaks no English, only one out BLACK BELT FOR LABOR UATION DISCUSSED (Preston News Service) Montgomery, Ala., Mar. 13.—Shortage of productive man power in the eleven Black Belt counties of Alabama was dwelt upon in a talk before the Montgomery Kiwanis Club Tuesday by Jesse B. Hearin. Mr. Hearin made a number of striking statements, based upon his investigation of economic conditions in the black belt. Among other things he said: "There are but 9,000 white men 21 years of age and above in the whole of Montgomery county. "There are less than 26,000 white men 21 years of age and over in the eleven counties of the Alabama Black Belt. "Since the beginning of the recent migration of Negroes from the South, twice as many Negroes have left these eleven Black Belt counties as there are white men above 21 years of age in this section." Mr. Hearin remarked about the high quality of the citizenship of the Black Belt, the natural fertility of the Black Belt soils, and said that in his opinion the whole problem revolves about this question of peopling the Black Belt's fertile lands. He said that this must come before the South can hope to get industries for the cities. Once solve the land problem, and industries, I think, will naturally follow." of the five speaks the English language and his right name is W. Soldier. He is a graduate from the Carlisle Indian Training School at Carlisle, P. A., he is also a graduate from Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. He is engaged in the real estate business at Rosebud, S. D., the other four big chiefs are engaged in farming near that point. The Indian population of South Dakota is sixty-two thousand, and forty-eight thousand voters, all of them voting the Republican ticket. Saturday afternoon, while wandering through the Capitol grounds, we ran into Spotted Tail, who wears fancy ribbons in his hair like the ladies and a long cloak like them, and Pretty Bird and they both seemed pleased to meet us again, and they let it be known that they would start for their Indian homes on Tuesday. (To be continued.) A MISSISSIPPI M. E. CONGRE CATION REJECTS UNIFICA TION PROPOSAL (Preston News Service) Crystal Springs, Miss., March 13.—At the M. E. Church here Sunday morning regular services were suspended in order that the congregation might vote on the question of unification which has been broadly discussed from the pulpit and in the press for a good many weeks. One of the largest congregations that has been in attendance at the church for some time was present to express themselves on this question. One hundred and fifty-our ballots were cast on the question of which 127 members were present and 27 voted by proxy. When the vote was counted it showed that every single vote cast, proxies and other votes, was against the unification, with not a single vote in favor of it. DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS Charles Nathaniel Marshall, the 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Marshall, 1705 Grant St., Evanston, Ill., died at Garnett Sanitarium Friday morning, March 6, and was buried from the Methodist Church Monday afternoon with Rev. W. W. Lucas officiating. Interment was at Lake Forest. A sister of the deceased came from Detroit, Mich., and many Chiagoons attended the funeral services. "THIRD LINE OF DEFENSE" TO FIGHT CHICAGO'S CRIME Chicago, March 13 (Special M. N. F. S.)—The "third line of defense" or the war veterans organization of Chicago, have wheeled into line in the fight against organized crime, according to Captain John McCormick, chairman of the civics committee of the William McKinley Camp, United Spanish War Veterans. On March 25, the camp has arranged for a mass meeting of war veterans at 180 W. Washington street, where the crime situation will be discussed by members of the organization. Judge Marcus Kavanagh, one of the members, will discuss the situation from the angle of a judge on the bench. Others who will talk will be Police Captains, Wesley D. Westbrook, William Russell and Charles Essig. McKinley Camp has on its roster several more public officials who have dealt with the crime situation for years and from their experience and advice, the camp expects to take action that will be a guide for other civic organizations to follow. "We consider ourselves the third line in national defense," said Captain McCormick, "and believe that it is our duty to back up the other two lines. The army, navy, marine corps, national guard and naval reserves are the nations first line; the second line is the police and other law enforcing agencies. Then comes the third line, which is the organized war veterans. "It is not the intention of this organization to interfere or to dictate as to what is to be done. Rather, we shall enlist to back up the public officials entrusted with this duty. There is enough of outside interference hindering and badgering our public officers and so this camp desiring to assist, simply offers our active and moral support." It is the intention of McKinley Camp to call a meeting of representatives of all civic organizations where the matter of law enforcement will be gone into from every angle. WAR VETERANS FIGHT FAKE SOLICITORS Chicago, March 13 (Special M. N. F. S.)—A war against takers who approach people in street cars passing out cards; persons who visit business men selling lead pencils, cards, magazines and other forms of fraud in the name of war veteran relief, will be exposed by the William McKinley Camp, United Spanish War Veterans, according to Vice Commander Geo. H. Riley, chairman of the legislative committee of that organization. "No responsible organization of war veterans countenance these methods and ask the business men to assist them in driving out these fakers who are cheating the patriotic citizens of Chicago out of thousands of dollars every year," said Commander Riley. "McKinley Camp, with a membership of 2,400 men, is able to reach every part of the city. We have a member living in every locality and we ask business men to get in touch with us before contributing to any itinerant faker who visits their place of business. Give us your name and address and a member will call on you and advise you what to do." Business men approached are advised not to contribute until they have communicated there and the fund for which they are asked to donate to investigated and reported on. 50TH ANNIVERSARY, 1925 KNOXVILLE COLLEGE, KNOXVILLE, TENN.

STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS RAN AWAY FROM THE HOSPITAL AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALABAMA. New Orleans, Louisiana—I am now on the outside and too far away to look in. It was Friday morning February 27, that Dr. Eugene H. Dibble said to me, "Colonel Charles E. Stump, I can conscientiously write on your chart this morning the word 'Discharged,' and it give me pleasure to do so, and to wish you well. It has been a pleasure for us to have you with us and we have been deeply interested in you. If anything happens to you come right on back to nq." When I heard this speech I could have kept my mouth from leaping from my heart I was so happy, because I was down in the hospital for nearly five weeks and was only invited there for one day. Friday morning they discharged me, and Miss Mary S. Booth, the hospital queen, came in and had a little say also, and she was proud of her service. All the nurses declared that they were sorry that I was going to leave them. This stay at Tuskegee has been to me a revelation as well as an inspiration, and I have gotten some impressions that I will carry into eternity with me. I shall ever remember the activity around the institution, the efficient service of the hospital, and what goes on there, and how the nurses love and respect Mrs. J. L. Reed, Miss Mary S. Booth, and Miss Faulkner N. Robinson, people of real worth and ability, and head nurses, each assisting in training the young women for the same mission. At the head of the whole is Dr. Dibble, and he is a master in his chosen profession. I was very much impressed with Dr. Pauline Dinkins, who is a physician of rank and ability, and one of the best trained to be found in this country. Perhaps you do not know her. She hails from Selma, Alabama, and the daughter of the late Charles Denkins, who used to be president of Selma University during his life time, and she has a sister who is at the top in the drug profession, and she is head of the drug department of the same John A. Andrews Memorial Hospital. I want to call your attention to one of the most noted characters of this race of ours, but you do not see his name in print often, but believe me when I tell you that C. M. Battey, is one of the finest artists and photographers in America and I do not bar either race or color. He is a genius, and none like him in all America. Like most of us, he has worked his way up from nothing so to speak, with no particular inspiration, except "I am going to make a man." He found his bent and went at it. He has a wonderful studio, and it would do you very soul good to visit it. You will see some of the finest pictures you have ever gazed upon since you have been in the world. Mr. Battey is now preparing an work that is going to be an inspiration to the entire race, and if not the country, and you should seek to get hold of it when it is presented to the public. The name of it will be "Concrete Results." It will be told in his training in handicraft, tilling the soil, following the plow. The progress in civilization will be shown in pictures, and then will come the concrete result, Booker T. Washington, placing within reach of the masses education. Many prominent men and women will be shown in this portfolio, including Sojourner Truth, Phyllis Wheatley, Harriet Tubman and many others. In this Mr. Battey is making a monument for himself. He already has the name and fame. He has produced some wonderful pictures. He is an inspiration to our youth. I am going to tell you about other characters in Tuskegee Institute from time to time. I want to tell you a few things about Mr. and Mrs. Shehee. I have told you about getting discharged on Friday, and I got my things together and moved over to Rockefeller hall, prior to my leaving. I went over to see many places, to say good bye. I had dinner with Banker and Mrs. Gover, because I spent some time with him prior to going to the hospital—in fact I slept in his bank for two hours when I wasin a dying condition and did --- not know it, and I thought it proper I should say good bye at his home Miss Annie D. Ewing had made some real ice cream and I got on the outside of it, and had that nice dinner, and then I said good bye. I spoke of Miss Annie D. Ewing, and I have not told you about this young woman before this time. She is a relative of Mrs. Kate Gover. She has just been appointed to teach at the Veterans hospital and started to work March 2. It is her first big position and she is going to make good. She is a thinker and a worker. Thanks be to God I got myself together, and made my way to see the other friends, and it was Saturday morning that I had breakfast in the big eating room of the institution, and then in company with Walter T. Sheheer, steward of Tuskegee boarding Department, in a Ford, we started for Montgomery. I rode over to the hospital—but before doing so Miss Cade rode down with me to check my baggage, and then on to the hospital where I took a look at the room where I had spent almost five weeks, told it good bye, looked at some of the nurses, and was soon together and the ride to Montgomery was started. Reached Montgomery, and went over to see Miss Hardie Martin who had prepared a lunch of chicken for me, and then we went to the stable where I got an iron horse headed for New Orleans. It was a good long ride from Montgomery to New Orleans. But I enjoyed it so very much. I expected to find Rev, J. A. Bingaman at the stable in New Orleans to escort me up to my stopping place in his automobile car carriage, but he was not there, and I did not know just what to do for a few minutes. A white man came to me and offered to tote me up to the place as a special favor for $2, and I did not see it that way, so I stepped to the hello box, put in five cents, and said hello to the Rev. Dr. B. G. Dawson, and honey as soon as he heard my voice he almost shouted and said, "I will be right there to get you. I am sure I have told you about him before. He is to be one of the bishops in the A. M. E. Church, perhaps in 1928. He is doing wonderful things at St. James' A. M. E. Church, and the church is crowded every time they open the door. He is a great preacher and a leader of men. Bishop W. A. Fountain brought him from Kansas City, several years ago, and since then he is just making things hum. He brought along himself in his Willys Knight, and it is a fine machine. New. Now it did not take him long to land me at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Porche, 7512 Pearl street. They were looking for me and soon I was in fine quarters. Miss Enola Porches had been sick for a week, but was getting on the well list, and then there was Miss Grace Porches and she was thinking about getting to the place to jump over the broom stick and the young man was telling her about it, and there was the young man, Engene A. Porch, and he was one more busy young man. Dr. Dawson remained a short time and expressed his joy at my being permitted to get out of the hospital and hoped that I would continue in good health. He paid a tribute to me in the manner of prayer, and then went on home, inviting me to come to his home when I felt like it. Now then Sunday morning I went to one of the churches up in Carlton, and the minister had me to preach the word and when it was all over then I returned to the home, and Misses Porches had some of the other teachers there to meet me. Miss Enola Porches has been teaching a long time and her sister, who graduated from New Orleans College last year, is teaching for the first time. The teachers who called were, Misses Athalia Alcorn, Myrtle Sykes, Betsy Austin and two young men, Louis Young and Robert Williams. It was a great afternoon and a big dinner. I enjoyed both of them. Dr. Dawson came to call on me in the afternoon and toted me out. He's a congenial good fellow and the right kind of stuff of which to make him Now you may expect to hear from me again. I am going to Texas, and expect to write to you from Florida next week. CHARLES E. STUMP. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 14, 1925 Washington, D. C. (Special to The Broad Ax)—The anniversary of the birth of Colonel Charles Young, which occurred on March 12, was observed throughout the fifty-four chapters of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity by private services on that date or by public ceremonies on Sunday, March 15. Colonel Young, the only graduate of the Military Academy at West Point to attain the rank of Colonel in the Regular Army, was born at Mayslick, Kentucky, March 12, 1864. At the age of sixteen, he graduated from high school at Ripley, Ohio. His alert mind commended itself to the school authorities of his town so favorably, that he found himself teaching in the public schools of Ripley. He was appointed to West Point in 1884, and while there endured many things not mentioned in the curriculum. There was no refinement of cruelty and insult which was not heaped upon his head in the attempt of his fellow students to drive him from the institution. "He faced insult as he faced his daily bread and with the same imper- turable balance and determination. He not only faced death in war, but what is more difficult, he faced it daily in peace." One of his instructors, realizing the effects of the ostracism and enforced solitude, advised him to request a horse and promised that he would see that it was given him. Col Young thereafter spent many lonely hours in the saddle and became an expert horseman. This is said to have had much weight in determining his assignment to cavalry. Col. Young graduated as an additional Second Lieutenant in 1889. He served on frontier duty and in 1894 was appointed Military Instructor at Wil伯force, where because of his intimate knowledge of French, German and mathematics, he was requested to teach these subjects in addition to his regular duties. Because of his quickness in coming to the aid of needy students, it was said of him literally, "He clothed the naked and fed the hungered." During the Spanish American War, Col. Young was appointed a Major of the 9th Ohio Infantry. After hostilities ceased, he reverted to his regular rank, and was assigned to the Philippines, where he commanded a troop at Samar Blanca, Aurora, Daraga, Toboca, Rosans, and San Joaquin. He was returned to the States in 1902; commanded a troop at San Francisco; then became Acting Superintendent of Sequoia and Grant National Parks, in the administration of which he received formal praise and approval. He was appointed Military Attache to Haiti in May. 1904. While there he made an accurate map of the island which the Marines are reported to have used on their recent expedition. He also collected material for his drama, Toussaint L'Ouverture," and for an exhaustive monogram in which he revealed the causes of the outbreaks in Haiti and suggested what he thought effective means for putting an end to them. After a tour of duty on the General Staff in Washington, Col. Young was again sent to the Philippines. In 1912, Col. Young attained the rank of Major in the Regular Army and while in Washington, D. C., at that time became a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. He was next appointed Military Attache to Liberia. Of his services to that country, the Adjutant General said, "It has been only with the most careful advisory supervision of Major Young that peace and order has been maintained." In 1915 he was awarded the Springeran Medal. From February, 1916, to March, 1917, Young was with the Punitive Expedition in Mexico. While there he realized that America would soon enter the European conflict—in order that his race might serve not only as followers but as leaders in this conflict. Young established a school for the instruction of the enlisted men of his command in the face of the opposition of his superior officer. While he yet dreamed of a Brigadier Generalship, and of leading Negro troops in France, suddenly he was retired for physical disability. Like the soldier that he was, Young saluted the President of the Retiring Board and went home, but the active, aggressive spirit of the patriot would not be quieted. While the proceedings of the Retiring Board were being reviewed, he, to provide his fitness for active service, flung himself into the saddle, and once more the soldier and his horse rode alone—from Xenia, Ohio to Washington, he came. "Could a sick man stand that ride?" was the question his actions raised. But a generalship was not to be his. Disappointed, heart-broken, but without a murmur against his government, with M. MRS. S. JOE BROWN Worthy Matron of the Internal Chapter Order of the Easter highly interesting new book A NEW HISTORY OF THE ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR The History of the Order of the Eastern Star Among Colored People is the name of a neatly bound new book that is just being put upon the market by Mrs. S. Joe Brown, author and publisher of Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. Brown is Past Grand Matron of Iowa and present Grand Matron of the International Conference of O. E. S., has traveled quite extensively, covering practically every state in the Union and portions of the Dominion of Canada, for some years past has been making a survey and research regarding the origin and history of the order among colored people, reports that there are 36 Grand Chapters in Worthy Matron of the International Conference of the Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star, who is the author of a highly interesting new book, pertaining to that order. out an outward sign of emotion, he accepted the final report of the retiring board pronouncing him unfit for active service. Then followed a brief period of service at Camp Grant, Illinois, and a reappointment as Military Attache to Liberia, in the performance of which duty he died on January 8, 1922 at Lagos, Southern Nigeria. Colonel Young is thought of primarily as a soldier, but he was more than a soldier. He was a brilliant scholar and linguist. He was author of the drama "Toussaint L'Ouverture" of "Military Morale of Races," and of one hundred and three poems entitled "Song Wings." His artistic ability was not confined to literary attainments, for he is credited with the following musical compositions: "The Beatitudes," eight pieces, An Offertory (resetting of old hymns) and eight serenades. He also performed on many musical instruments with remarkable ability. A stern commander on the field, he was a true companion after the trail of the day. He led his men, not because of his shoulder straps, but because he was a born leader of men, men instinctively followed him. Every soldier who has ever served under him loved "Uncle Charley" as he was affectionately known among his men. He demonstrated that neither persecution, suffering or humiliation need stifle manly courage, or deter one from striving for one ideal. He exemplified the highest type of Christian manhood in his soldierly self restraint; he was truly the embodiment of the race's highest culture and ideals. ESSAY CONTEST ON RACE RELATIONS AROUSES GREAT INTEREST AT KNOXVILLE COLLEGE (Preston News Service) Knoxville, Tenn., March 13.—Great interest is being shown by the students of Knoxville College in the prize for the best essay on Race Relations recently established by Rev. J. M. McQuillkin, D.D., of Pittsburgh, Pa. The general subject is "The Responsibilities of Each Race for Better Race Relations." The contest is open to all the members of the junior and senior classes, and the majority of the members of both classes have signified their intention to compete for the prizes. Dr. McQuillkin intimated that he winning essay would be published in a religious periodical. This effort --- the United States with one in Ontario, Canada and one in Liberia, Africa, comprising in all three thousand four hundred Chapters with more than a hundred thousand members. This History also gives the date and place of organization of the first Chapter; the first Grand Chapter and all subsequent Grand Chapters, also the International Conference of Grand Chapters, with its history to date; and is illustrated with portraits of all the International Matrons and with views of what the author styles tangible evidence of some of the outstanding achievements of the Order. No member of the O. E. S. can afford to be without this History, and all race-loving people should read it also, that they may be apprised of the remarkable achievements of this Order. to stimulate a deeper interest in and study of race relations is highly commendable, declared a member of the college faculty and it is hoped that many other such prizes will be established in this and other institutions throughout the country. The students of both races should be encouraged to give this question serious and conscientious study. LARGE CLASS AT KNOXVILLE COILLEGE Knoxville, Tenn., March 12.—This year's graduating class of Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn., is the largest in the history of the institution. Twenty young men and women will finish their college course in June. The graduating exercises will be held Thursday, June 4. It is fitting that the fifteenth year of the institution should have the largest class in its history. This large class is only typical of the rapid growth of the college department of Knoxville College. The enrollment of this year's freshman class is fifty-two, which is also the largest freshman class ever registered. It is interesting to note the wide influence of the college as represented by the fact that the twenty members of the senior class come from eight different states, and that the fifty-two members of the freshman class come from twelve different states. The success and progress of this Negro college is only one of the many signs of advancement of our race, and Negroes may well be proud of the work of this institution as typical of the increasing interest in higher education. TO RE-ENTER U. OF C. Miss Mary E. Branch, teacher of English at the V. N. & I. L. Petersburg, Va, who has studied at the University of Chicago, will return to the University early in the summer to take up studies leading to the master degree. Several other teachers from th V.
