THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 49. AMERICA 11 CHILDREN DIE AS BRIDGE COLLAPSES Boys Less Than Ten Years Old Drown in River. MANY THRILLING RESCUES Accident is Witnessed by Score of Harrowed Spectators, Men and Even Women Leaping Into the Water in Effort to Save Lada. Lawrence, Mass. — Eleven children—boys less than ten years old—were drowned when a wooden bridge connecting the Municipal bath house with the bank of the Merrimac river collapsed. It is possible that more were drowned. There were at least 50 boys on the bridge when it collapsed. Three dead were found almost at once and the other bodies were recovered when the river below the scene of the accident was dragged. Half Dozen Boys Saved. Dennis Beauchne, a storekeeper, led the rescue work and dragged half a dozen boys from the water semi-conscious. The children stood about shivering in their badraggled, wet clothes, white faced, big eyed and watched the efforts to revive their comrades. Five boys, unconscious when rescued, were revived by first aid methods. The eleven known dead include three unidentified. The bath house is owned by the city and the supports gave way. Medical Examiner Dow will at once commence an investigation to determine the cause of the accident. The boys were crowded on the bridge awaiting the return from lunch of William Blythe, the caretaker, when the accident occurred. Many Thrilling Rescues. The bath house was known as the "little" bath house because only the youngest children were admitted, only those under 11. Among the 50 or more that swarmed on the bridge at noon waiting for the keeper to come back from lunch and open the gates were many as young as six years. It was the youngest who died. Struck by cracked timbers, terrified and forced down by stronger hads, their chance was hopeless. There was but four feet of water under the bridge but that was over the heads of most of the children. The accident was witnessed by a score of harrowed spectators. Men and even women leaped into the water. Manager Noonan and the Lawrence baseball team, champions of the New England league, were on their way to the ball park nearby when they heard screams. They went in as one man and did the greatest part of the saving work. UNCLE SAM ADVISES PUBLIC Chemistry Bureau Lays Down Ten Commandments to Insure Clean Food During Summer. Washington, D. C. — The ten commandments to insure clean food during the summer were issued Monday by the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture in an official bulletin: 1—Use your nose and eyes to detect bad food. 2—Be watchful of ptomaine, a deadly poison bacillin which thrives mightily in this weather. 3—Pasteurize all milk. 4—Keep your ice box clean. 5—Cook your food and never eat it uncooked. 6—Beware of restaurants and highly seasoned meats and fish. 7—Drink only boiled water at summer resorts. 8—Do not eat the skins of fruits. 9—Wage a persistent battle against flies in your home. 10—Do not set too much store by the "guaranteed under the pure food and drugs act" label. The government does not guarantee these wares. BLOWS HIMSELF INTO SHREDS Prosperous Young Quarry Owner Lay. Down on Stick of Dynamite After Lighting the Fuse. Middletown, N. Y. — Floyd Tiffany, a prosperous young quarry owner, blew himself into sherds in sight of his mother by lying down on a stick of dynamite after lighting the fuse. Alarmed by his melancholy demeanor during the day, Mrs. Tiffany had followed her son down the road from the house to the quarry and saw him draw the dynamite from his pocket. She screamed and ran toward him. Tiffany lilt the fuse. "Don't come any nearer," he shouted, "this will blow you up. You can't save me. I'm going to die." Business Man Is Arrested. Sallsburg, Md—Harold W. Smith, the general manager of the Home Gas Co., member of one of the first families and himself one of the first citizens in business, society and church circles of this town, was arrested as an accessory to the operation that killed Miss Florence Wainwright. Miss Wainwright, bookkeeper for the gas company, 24 years old and betrothed to a wealthy young man, was found dead at her desk on the night of Friday, June 20. THE GAZETTE C HARRIS & EWING Letters, telegrams and other documents, supporting the charges of Coenel M. M. Mulhall that a secret lobby was maintained at Washington by the National Association of Manufacturers, will be turned over to Senator Overman, chairman of the senate lobby investigating committee for inspection and investigation. YOUNG WOMAN SAYS SULZER JILTED HER Sues Governor of New York for Breach of Promise. Employe in Department Store Claims She Has Letters From State Executive That Tend to Show He Intended to Make Her His Bride. Philadelphia, Pa. — Miss Mignon Hopkins, the daughter of a well to do Brooklyn attorney, now dead, entered suit in this city Tuesday against Gov. William Sulzer of New York for breach of promise. Miss Hopkins, who is one of three attractive sisters, stipulates the date of her engagement to the governor and in her claim says that she has endearing letters from him to show that he intended to make her his bride and that he jilted her and married a Philadelphia woman in Atlantic City on Jan. 8, 1908. Miss Hopkins is a blond of about 28 and is now employed in a department store in this city. In the affidavit which Miss Hopkins made and which Mr. Patterson, her attorney, took oath to the charges, recite that "one William Sulzer of New York broke a contract of engagement with Mignon Hopkins made in New York on Sept. 15, 1903. "At this time the deponent swears that the aforesaid William Sulzer became engaged to her and that he asked her to keep it secret until he was marry her, as for him to do so at that time would have injured his political career. From time to time the aforesaid deponent swears that she lived with the aforesaid William Sulzer for a brief period in various hotels in New York and other places and that the aforesaid William Sulzer introduced her as his wife to his acquaintances. The aforesaid deponent, Mignon Hopkins, further swears that she continued these relations with William Sulzer until Nov. 7, 1907, when, by reason of illness of her sister in Boston, when she left him to visit that city and that while there she received from him several endearing letters which frequently referred to his promise to wed her. "The deponent swears that she was distressed and affected to learn that on Jan. 8, 1908, that William Sulzer married a Philadelphia woman in Atlantic City and that since that time she has not seen nor heard from him regarding the cause of the breaking of his contract to marry the deponent. Since the aforesaid William Sulzer is a man of position and of means and property, the deponent prays the honorable court to award her substantial damages for the wrongs which she has sustained." This was the affidavit which was sworn to before Judge Ferguson and on which the summons was issued. New York City. — Information reached New York a fortnight ago that the next attack upon Gov. Sulzer by his Tammany foes would be an attack upon his moral character. A Tammany office holder was collecting "evidence" and the affidavits for use in the suit. The charges related to alleged misconduct of Gov. Sulzer with women prior to his marriage on Jan. 8, 1908. Whether the suit began in Philadelphia Tuesday has any relation to the other suit is not known. Found Guilty of Bribery. Court House, Webster Spring, W. Va.-State Senator Ben A. Smith was convicted at 10 o'clock Tuesday night of bribery in connection with the recent state legislative fight. With the closing argument of Congress S. R. Avis for the state the case went to the jury at 4:30 in the afternoon and the trial of the first member of the West Virginia legislature ever accused of accepting a bribe to influence his official acts was closed. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1913. HOWE INSTITUTE MAKES PROGRESS Northern Baptist Convention Told of Its Usefulness. SCHOOLS AS SEARCHLIGHTS Part Played by Afro-Americans in Support of Their Own Education in the South Discussed by Dr. T. O. Fuller—Commercial Appeal Shows Friendiness of Whites. Memphis, Tenn.—The Rev. T. O. Fuller, D. D., principal of Howe institute, in this city, recently attended the northern Baptist convention during its session at Detroit, Mich. He was invited by the officials of the American Baptist Home Mission society, of which Dr. H. L. Morehouse is corresponding secretary, to speak on "What Negroes Are Doing in the South Toward Their Own Education. With the Co-operation of Northern Societies." Dr. Fuller spoke of the founding of the colleges in the south for colored DOMESTIC SCIENCE HALL. people immediately after the war as being searchlights to discover the possibilities of the race. The high grade school fixed the educational ideal and trained leaders and teachers to handle the public schools later organized by the southern states. The secondary schools soon followed as an expression of racial desire to run and operate institutions for themselves. Eighteen of the best of their schools are worth $500,000, with an annual running expense of $125,000. There are more than 5,000 children enrolled in these eighteen secondary schools, which have become rallying centers for the quickening of our racial life. The secondary schools have been a means of demonstrating the executive ability of the colored people. They have also done much toward creating a sentiment in favor of their education among prominent southerners. Dr. Fuller told the growth and development of Howe institute, whose value has rapidly increased from $20,000 to $75,000 and the attendance from 200 to 500. He told how he organized the pastor's class and also the Bible classes for women, thereby bringing these important factors to his support. He spoke of the friendliness of the southern press and especially the recent demonstrations at the school in domestic science, attended by 500 cooks of the city and paid for by the Commercial Appeal, the leading daily newspaper in the delta. Dr. Fuller's address at Detroit was cheered to the echo, and he was the only member of our race on the program. The teacher of domestic science at Howe Institute is Mrs. Rosa B. Fuller, wife of the principal. She graduated at Howe and has done special work at Knoxville college, Hampton and Tuskegee. She served many years as a teacher in the literary department before taking up her present work. Mrs. Fuller's domestic science classes are large and enthusiastic and include members of the faculty. Her department is well equipped with the most modern gas ranges and hot plates. Canning, pickling, preserving, making bread and cakes, the selection of meats and general housekeeping are among the subjects taught. As an all round worker and helper Mrs. Fuller's superior would be hard to find. In addition to her work at Howe she is an energetic church club worker, and her efforts are usually crowned with success. Mrs. Fuller has taken several special courses for the purpose of better fitting herself to assist her husband in his great work as pastor and educator. Virginia Sunday, School Convention. The thirteenth annual meeting of the Virginia Baptist state Sunday school convention will be held in the First Baptist church, Newport News, Va. Tuesday, Aug. 10. Sunday, June 29. was the day's set for each school connected with the convention to raise a special fund for the educational work of the organization. The president of the convention is Professor J. S. Lee. He is urging each school to send its full quota of delegates and also invites new schools to unite with the convention and thereby get new impetus by meeting the great state body of Sunday school workers. CARING FOR YOUNG LIVES. Fresh Air Committee in New York issues Appeal For Funds. The fresh air committee of New York city, headed by William N. Hubbell, has sent out an appeal to the public for funds with which to carry on the work this summer. This committee is the only agency which makes a specialty of visiting, planning and taking groups of colored persons of all ages and sex on outings in the country during the summer months. The committee co-operates with other organizations having a similar aim. In 1912 one of the visitors made 950 personal calls in two months. The board of mothers and babies is paid by the organization to the extent of its means. Nearly 200 persons were given outings in 1912 for periods of from one to two weeks. The board for all except thirteen of the total number cared for was paid by the committee. The headquarters of the fresh air committee is at 131 East Sixth-street, New York. Miss H. T. Emerson is the secretary and treasurer. The greatest need at the present time aside from money is a suitable place for girls and misses over eleven years of age and for a home for convalescents, to be kept open all the year. One establishment, properly arranged, would answer for both purposes. IDEAL BENEFIT SOCIETY. New Fraternal Organization Has a Most Phenomenal Growth. Richmond, Va.—The National Ideal Benefit society, the new fraternal organization launched in Richmond about eleven months ago, with A. W. Holmes as supreme master, is making wonderful strides. Recently the lodge held large meeting. In two of the largest Baptist churches of the city. The result was seven new lodges and several hundred new members. In the eleven months of the existence thirty lodges have been organized in Richmond alone. Supreme Master Holmes recently made a trip to several of the large cities of the north where lodges have been organized, and he reports the work in those sections as progressing, with many new lodges in contemplation between now and the first Tuesday in September, when the first annual session will be held at the headquarters in this city. Organizations like the supreme lodge, the St. Luke's and others, which have met every obligation up to date promptly, paying sick and death claims, are doing much to strengthen the Negro's confidence in his own organization. HOWARD'S JIMCROW BILL CAUSES BIG COMMOTION. Attorney Hermans' Satirical Letter Misunderstood by a Newspaper. By JAMES C. WATERS, Jr. The utter helplessness of the colored people in the United States without a strong, fearless daily newspaper to present their side of a case (as they are denied a hearing in the newspapers of the country published by the white race) was never better illustrated than in an incident which took place in Washington recently. A short time ago a white man, sent there as a representative of one of the crime ridden sections of the state of Georgia, introduced in congress the latest edition of the numerous jim-crow bills which have been dropped into the hamper by various individuals from the southern part of the country. Shortly afterward Charles H. Hemans, Esq., a young colored attorney of Washington, wrote Congressman William S. Howard, the man in question, and in a particularly ironical manner called on the congressman to amplify his bill so as to effect a complete separation of the races, even to the elimination of that Kind of association between white men and colored women which existed during slavery and which for years since has been a stench in the nostrils of the Negroes of the nation, but which is never referred to above a whisper by the pharsicalal whites. To the amazement of Mr. Hemans and several friends to whom he had read his letter before mailing it to Congressman Howard, the Washington Times appeared carrying an article with a double line heading. "Howard Commended For Segregation." The Washington Times item is as follows: "Among the letters received by Congressman Howard of Georgia, who recently introduced a bill to segregate white and colored passengers on Washington street cars, is one asserting that the Howard bill is all right except that 'it does not go far enough.'" "Charles H. Hemans," attorney, has written to Congressman Howard suggesting the widening of the scope of the bill. Mr. Hemans' letter to the Georgia congressman says a law should be enacted making it unlawful for colored persons to be served in white drug stores and in other stores and that the two races should be kept apart in every way." Friends of Mr. Hemans were much exercised upon reading the foregoing Washington Times article to think that he would play into the hands of this southern race hater in any such manner. Accordingly he was sought out in his office in the Lewis building and asked to make a statement. Mr. Hemans was indignant at the way the congressman had treated his communication and declared that he was delighted to be able to put before his friends and the public at large an ext copy of the very letter which he sent to Representative Howard. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Senate Investigation of Trouble Between the Miners and Operators In West Virginia Throws Light on Heroic Work of Able Lawyer For Freedom of His Race. Washington—The investigation made by a committee from the United States senate into the troubles between the miners and operators in West Virginia and the application of martial law to the situation there brings to mind that it was a member of our own race—the Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds here—to whom is due the credit for having the United States government take a firm stand against all forms of peonage. While practicing law in Atlanta Mr. Johnson noticed that sheriffs from the counties of Georgia were continually coming into the city to arrest colored men. These men, for the most part, were arrested for alleged violation of contracts, and they were sold to some planter or other white man needing their labor and compelled to work out the money alleged due under the supposed contract. Colonel Johnson interested himself in these cases and found out that the men and women arrested were sold into a state of virtual slavery. He succeeded at length in having some of the HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON. offending whites indicted. He received threats on every hand and offers of bribes to discontinue his fight, but he kept bravely on. The indicted men were freed at length on a demurrer to the indictment. He then found that there were similar violations in Florida and succeeded in interesting United States officials in that state. He also conferred with the department of justice in this city on the matter. An indictment was found, and in what is known as the Clytay case the United States supreme court upheld the validity of the peonage law. The convictions of Aaron Bradshaw of Alabama and many others have since happened. The initial fight against peonage resulted in the Edmunds law against peonage being sustained. When the United States secured New Mexico from Spain in 1854 a man in New Mexico could be imprisoned for owing an individual or the government money. The Edmunds law, was drafted to meet this condition. Little was it thought then that its provisions would be first invoked to save colored men and women from a condition of involuntary slavery and then answer the same service for whites. Colonel Johnson was born in Augusta, Ga., in 1872. He was educated at the old Ware high school. Augusta, Atlanta university, where he received the degree of bachelor of arts in 1891, and the law department-of the University of Michigan, where he won second honors in the big gradating class in 1893. He first practiced law in a small town in his native state. During the first year his law practice among both white and colored clients brought him enough business to pay off an indebtedness of $700, with a small balance left. Moving to Atlanta, Attorney Johnson became an important figure in fraternal and political circles and is said to be one of the most influential politicians among Afro-Americans in any state of the Union. During the four years he has been here he has established a record for efficiency, his friends say, and has been always in the forefront when it comes to aling any member of the race, whether in or out of the government service. New Business Movement In Brooklyn Several responsible business and professional men are said to be sponsors for the movement headed by Attorney Rufus Lewis Perry of Brooklyn to form a trust company among Afro-Americans. The promoters plan to begin with a capital of $100,000 and a surplus of $25,000. The concern is to be national in scope, with branches in several large cities where our people form a good proportion of the population. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON. C. WARNIS & EWING John A. Dix, former governor of New York, has been suggested to the president by Senator O'Gorman as a good man for the post of governor general of the Philippines. ASKS AID OF WOMEN IN WAR ON ANIMAL DANCES Boston's Mayor Is Driving Them From the 'Hub.' The Tango, Turkey Trot, Bunny Hug and Grizzly Bear Have No Chance in the Metropolis of Massachusetts. Boston, Mass.—Mayor Fitzgerald, "Boston's honey boy," shocked by what he saw in the cafes during a recent trip to New York, has called upon the women of Boston to help him in his war on the "animal" dances. The tango, the turkey trot, the bunny hug and the grizzly bear have no chance in Boston. Women Supervisors. They are going to be driven from the most fashionable hotels and the public halls of Boston. Mayor Fitzgerald said that the women supervisors soon to be appointed by him will be sent out for this purpose. "It is my purpose," Mr. Fitzgerald said, "to show to the public that Boston still leads. We are, of course, far from the millennium, but it must be a matter of pride and encouragement to every good citizen to note that, while most of the other great cities of America are named from time to time in press dispatches telling of bad moral conditions, Boston is never on the list. Musicians' Union Aids. "Let us now take our places before the nation as the city which provides public dances which are enjoyable, while at the same time decent." The mayor is greatly gratified at the offer of assistance which has come to him from the musicians' union. The union musicians of the city are banded together against the trot, the hug and the grizzly. Musicians will take orders from the women supervisors. The supervisors will have but to hold up her hand to stop objectionable music. TO PROBE MULHALL CHARGES TO PROBE MULHALL CHARGES Senate Committee Will Investigate Allegations of Far Reaching Lobby Scheme. Washington, D. C. — Disclosures growing out of the sensational charges by Judge Robert S. Lovett of a blackmail plot against the Union Pacific, details of which were first published several days ago, took a most important turn Sunday in a statement of a far reaching lobby scheme made by Col. Martin Mullah, formerly general lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers. Members of the lobby committee announced they would lose no time in bringing to light every particle of evidence possible to substantiate or refute the Mulhall charges. In the confession made by Col. Mulhall, in corroboration of which he offers great number of letters, telegrams, reports, expense accounts and memoranda, he charges that the National A. M., comprising 225 organizations and capitalized at $10,000,000,000 has for ten years played an important and frequently a decisive part in promoting tariff, labor and general business legislation favorable to its own interest. Ten Drown When Raft Tips. Leechburg, Pa.—Ten persons were drowned here when a raft ferry carrying 65 persons went down in the Kiskiminetas river. The passengers were being brought across the river from Hyde park. Pa Upon approaching Leechburg the, made a rush to the forward end of the raft. The excessive weight at the one end caused the raft to shoot its nose under the water. In the excitement several passengers jumped into the stream, while others fought to retain their foothold. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS JOHN A. DIX DOUBLE TRACEDY 1451 DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN INVALIDS' HOME One Nurse Slays Another and Then Kills Self. SECRET FEUD BETWEEN TWO 'Women of Mystery' Were Constantly Together and Believed to be Close Friends Until They Quarreled Two Weeks Before Tragedy. New York City—Hope of solving the mystery of the murder of Catherine Lacey and the suicide of her assailant, Rosalie Roque, the nurses of the Montefiore Home for Chronic Invalids at Bedford Hills, whose bodies were found in the room of the Lacey girl, depends upon a letter now on its way to Mrs. William Lacey of No. 94 West Erie-st. Oswego, N. Y., the mother of the murdered girl. Both girls had been employed in various public institutions and private sanitariums in and around New York for a long time. Miss Lacey, a beautiful blonde, 25 years old, had been employed by Dr. H. W. Hitchcock of Greenwich and Dr. A. J. Givens of Stamford, Conn., before she went to the Montefiore home. Miss Rose, less attractive than her friend and a distinct Spanish type, had been employed at the Metropolitan State hospital on Wards Island. Girls Constantly Together. About March 1, the two girls went to Charles O'Connor Irwin's nurses employment agency and asked him to find employment for them together. He sent them to the Montefiore home. Miss Lacey was engaged immediately and later at her request Dr. L. Rosenberg, superintendent of that home, employed Miss Rose. At the Bedford Hills institution the two were called the "women of mystery." When not on duty they were constantly together. About two weeks ago there was a violent quarrel. No one knew the cause but Miss Roque, the smaller, assaulted her chum with her fists and beat her so badly that she was not able to work for a day. At that time one of the nurses asked Miss Lacey: "What is the mystery between you and Miss Roque? "I cannot tell you," Miss Lacey replied in tears. Bodies Found In Room. Shortly after that incident Miss Lacey asked Dr. Rosenberg to let her take her vacation at once instead of August as had been planned. Consent was given and Miss Lacey planned to leave July 1. A day or two ago Miss Roque came to New York and it is believed she bought the pistol on that trip. When Miss Roque was to go on duty at 7 o'clock Thursday night she could not be found and Miss Pauline Goldberg was assigned to take her place. At 7 o'clock Friday morning Miss Lacey did not report for duty and Miss Goldberg took her passkey and unlocked the door of Miss Lacey's room. She found the bodies of the "women of mystery." Miss Lacey had been shot in the back. Two shots fired had missed their mark and the bullets were found in the wall. The Roque girl had fired a bullet into her own brain and her body lay across that of her chum. URGE DAM TO RAISE LAKE EBIE President and International Waterways Commission. After Ten Year Investigation Report to Congress. Washington, D. C.—After more than ten years' investigation the international waterways committee Friday, through the president, recommended to congress the construction of a submerged dam, or weir, in the Niagara river to raise the level of Lake Erie and its upper waters. The commission stated the value of the proposed work to Lake Erie ports could hardly be estimated and that it would result in extensive improvements to harbors and docks. Several years ago the commission reported against the advisability of constructing an ordinary dam across the Niagara because of the consequent damage to property below the dam. This dam would have completely regulated the height of the water in Lake Erie, but the latest plan contemplates only partial control. The cost of the weir and consequent works to avoid damage to property is estimated at $3,500,000. The commission recommended its location at Gill creek on the American shore and Hog island on the Canadian, just above Welland river. The dam would raise the level of the Niagara three feet for one and a half miles. The commission suggested the construction of a level to prevent damages to adjoining property. Jamaica, N. Y. — Mrs. Jennie Foster and her daughter, Mrs. Laura Meyer, were arrested by federal agents here charged with using the mail to defraud credulous men who advertised for wives or housekeepers. It is alleged they corresponded with victims and on a promise to join them, obtained money for car fars and expenses. Search of the prisoners' apartment revealed among other letters one from W. C.

Member; Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 Howard University, Washington, D.C., handed out 137 diplomas this year Like Wilberforce University's, this is a splendid showing. Frederick Douglass and John M. Langton were the ablest and greatest leaders, this race of ours, in this country, has produced, to date. Absolutely no question as to this. We are republishing, this week, John P. Jones's Chicago letter because of an unfortunate omission and because it is such an excellent communication—exceptional—that it will stand a careful re-reading. Call your friends' and acquaintances' attention to it. The fight, all along the line, against our peoples' rights and privileges in public and quasi-public places, has been greatly increased in recent months by the success of democracy the country over. This makes it necessary for us to fight for them, as never before. If Jack Johnson would only emulate the example set by Sam. McVey of Paris, France, another Afro-American pugilist, and another abroad, how thankful we all would be. He will never be able to appreciate the harm he has done the race. The Eaton, O., judge who rendered that decision against our Ohio Elks, at Dayton, Tuesday, is evidently a prejudiced Elk. Let our MEN in that city who are Elks carry the case to a higher court and teach him that he is neither in Alabama or Texas rendering decisions. Owing to Gov. Cole Blease's impudent letters, the War Department has notified South Carolina that no further Federal assistance, either in personnel or equipment, will be afforded the organized militia of that state, nor will further expenditure of Federal funds for South Carolina in the hands of the disbursing officer be authorized by the Secretary of War, except to cover such obligations as may have been already incurred and approved by Secretary of War. Good! Washington, D. C.—Establishment of a Negro university in the north is the principal consideration of the New England Baptist convention now in session here. The convention, in session today, went over the question of the proposed institution, and already has voted $10,000 toward its endowment fund. Somebody must "be crazy with the heat." The above would be like "carrying coals to New Castle," or "water to the Great Lakes." The south is the place for such an institution. There is absolutely no need of it in this section. There are more first-class facilities in this section of the country now, open to all persons—for our youth and others, too—than are taken advantage of by "Begroes." A REAL LEADER GONE. Rev. James M. Townsend, seventy seven years old, for years one of the most prominent Afro-Americans in the Middle-West, and for forty years a minister in the A. M. E. Church, died at his home in Richmond, Ind., June 18. He served as recorder of the general land office at Washington under President Harrison. Dr. Townsend served in the general assembly of Indiana, being elected from Wayne county to the lower house in 1885. He was born at Gallipolis, O., and was graduated from Oberlin college in 1867. His first position in an educational line was at Evansville, Ind., where he taught school for two years and in 1871 became a member of the Indiana conference, A. M. E. Church, filling thereafter pastors in Indianapolis, Terre Haute and Richmond. He was for nine years missionary secretary of the Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church and his travels in this work took him abroad several times. He visited Africa, South America and most of the countries of Europe. He also filled pulpits in Chicago and Columbus, O. He was a Civil War veteran and a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. Dr. Townsend was the only Afro-American federal officeholder we have ever known or heard of who jeopardized his position by publicly demanding justice for his people from the administration he was serving under. Dr. Townsend was a MAN, loyal and able and fearless. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, TIPS AND PORTERS In a letter to the editor of The Gazette, under date, June 21, 1913, the Hon. Edgar E. Clark, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission, Washington, D. C., writes: "Speaking only for myself, I have wondered if the time would ever come when the American people would effectively resent the idea of being required to pay, in the form of tips, the salaries of those who perform a service which ought to be included in the charges paid, as for example, on ground railroads, on station cars, etc." So have we. However, since the American people absolutely refuse to do so, it is "up to" the Afro-American hotel and railroad employees to organize to protect themselves. Then, in cases like that of Pennsylvania R. R. porter who, because he had not received a tip in five days and because his salary was only one dollar a month, was forced to steal (five dollars) from a foreigner, a passenger, to purchase food, etc., something could be done to force the payment of at least a living wage regardless of tips. Will our people ever awaken to such necessities as this and act? We hope so. The outlook, however, is anything but encouraging. VALUABLE INFORMATION. A well-known writer on world topics calls attention to the fact that a majority of the countries of the world have too large numbers of Negroes, Indians and mestizos, for the race or color prejudice against them to last. Then, there are those countries speeched by the yellow and black races, several of which are governed by them, as in the cases of Japan, China, Hayti, Santo Domingo and Liberia. Continuing he says: "Outside of Jamaica, a British possession, and Cuba, Santo Domingo and Hayti, Brazil is the only country in which the Negroes exist in sufficient numbers to make their presence felt. Jamaica being a British possession, the black is accorded the same treatment as all other subject races of Great Britain. He has justice and fair treatment, but no social equality. "In Cuba the Negro has mixed with the others until frequently it is impossible to tell which of the three bloods, white, Indian, or Negro, predominates in an individual. Nevertheless, there are class distinctions, founded however, more on wealth than bloods. Santo Domingo and Hayti are people by mulattoes and blacks, and governed by them. "Of the 17,000,000 people in Brazil at least 7,000,000 are Negroes and mulattoes. The latter outnumber the whites. They are mostly along the coast and frequently predominate in numbers. The Portuguese have less race prejudice than any other white race. The consequence has been that the lower and middle with the Negro have freely married with the Negro pure bloods and the mulattoes. "The Negroes in the United States are superior both in enterprise and education to those of Brazil, Santo Domingo and the British West Indies. They are far superior to the Haytian Negro." STATE WOMEN'S FEDERATION. Oberlin, O.—All day Monday and Tuesday morning, delegates from many clubs throughout Ohio were brought to this pretty little college town by every incoming train and car, for the annual gathering of our State Federation of Women's clubs. Cleveland, Toledo and Youngstown were especially well represented early, and the outlook for a glorious three-week vacation was nicely timely. The Federation was called to order, Tuesday day morning. Watch for a full account of the meet in The Gazette of next week. Queer Obesity Cure A German scientist claims to have discovered a new obesity cure, consisting of treating the over-heavy with small quantities of certain metals, introduced into their food. THE CLOSING EXERCISES Of Wilberforce University Were of Unusual Interest Jubil- lence Commencement. XENIA, O.—Perhaps no commencement of Wilberforce University was fraught with more interest and widespread concern than the one which passed into history recently. The University of Maryland and its universities is enlarging, bringing new life and vigor in this famous institution. With such a hustling man as President W. S. Scarborough in the lead, nothing short of real practical prog Pres. W. S. Scarborough. ress is expected. His excellent judgment has enabled him to surround himself with a family of helpers that any like institution may have. In the annual interest, there was an extra touch of spirit manifested this year, as the occasion marked the Golden Jubilee commencement. Just fifty years ago the first graduates, Dr. Thomas H. Jackson, Dr. Robert H. Jackson, the Caluminary; Dr. Welch, of Kentucky, and Dr. Jenifer left this institution. There were fifty-one gradu A. B. ates from the scientific, classic and normal department and seventy-six (76) received certificates from the various industrial departments. The most made from Xenia, Miss Ray Roberts—from the business department. Miss Carrie DeHaven, also, from the scientific department. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1913. Bishop C. S. Smith's whole address, except that part directed to the graduates, tended to prove that the Afro-American is not cut out especially for service. At the conclusion of the ad- We had eight graduates from the Cambridge, Mass., High School, and eleven from two of Cleveland, Ohio's, four High Schools; four from its Normal School; and one from its Col- J. H. H. Bishop L. J. Coppin. dress President Scarborough presented the diplomas to the classes in fitting words. A number of degrees were also conferred. Bishop B. F. Lee resigned as a member of the Combined Normal and Industrial School Board, and on his suggestion, Major W. T. Anderson (U. S. A. chaplain, retired) was appointed in his stead. Bishop L Major W. T. Anderson. J. Coppin retains the supervision of the Seventh Episcopal District. Bishop H. M. T. Turner will have charge of the Michigan, Ontario and Nova Scotia Conferences, and Bishop John Hurst the work in Bermuda, Haiti and the West Indies. This was the decision of the Bishops' Council Bishop C. T. Shaffer was called to Indianapolis, Ind., during the session of the Trustee Board, in order to attend the funeral of his nephew, the seventeen-year-old son of Rev. George H. Shaffer, who was drowned. Gauls First to Shoe Horses. It is not known who were the first horseshoers, but historians declare that the Gauls before the Christian era were the first to apply artificial protection of the hoof. The art was first discovered in England by William the Conqueror who lived during the years 1027-1087. "Horseshoe's Journal" 1027-1087. Form Two of a Kind. Facts are stubborn things; almost as stubborn as the people who don't believe them. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Katherine D'Artois, 17 years of age, was salutatorian and youngest member of the Stamford, Conn. High School graduating class, last week. The Pennsylvania Legislature has killed a civil rights bill and passed one appropriating $75,000 for a six-year-old celebration, in Philadelphia, of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Mr. Pearl Chavers of Columbus, O., and Miss Minnie Calloway of Chicago, were married, there, last week. "Noomdy" Brasher, a former Cleveland, now a resident of Columbus, attended the wedding. Democratic administration has let out a colored officeholder, The last person to go is W. D. Johnson, a special agent in the Agricultural Department. There is scarcely a week that some Negro is not put out by the present administration. Motion pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries fight were shown in the Strand, London and New York weeks. We were drawn from presentation at the time, but are drawing tremendous crowds now. Asaph F. Howard (white), welcoming resident of Middleboro, Mass., and Sarah N. Barksdale, a member of the race, were recently married at Brockton. Professor Karl Pearson, the distinguished biologist, who is head of the Galton Institute of Eugenics in London, recently delivered a lecture in which he suggested that the ancestors of the white race were colored. He believes that if we could traar far enough back the lineage of any Caucasian, we should find a Negro genetically Harvard College graduated two Colored men, recently. Theodore Cable and H. J. Waring, with degree of Bachelor of Arts. Mr. Cable is from Indianapolis and Mr. Waring from Washington, D. C. Miss Dorothy Guinn, who got "Cum Laude" distinction in graduating from Harvard's Women's College, returned in New Bedford, Mass. Miss Gladys Holmes of Boston, graduated with Miss Guinn. A new answer to the question "What is wrong with our churches?" is contributed by the Rev. Mark Allison Matthews, of Seattle, pastor of the Episcopal Hebrew Church in America, if not in the world, and ex-Moderator of the General Assembly, "The trouble," says Dr. Matthews, "lies in the indulgence of many of our pastors, and what I say applies to all denominations." Nathan Alexander, receiver of the Land Office at Montgomery, Ala., was removed last week and a white democrat appointed in his place by the President. Rev. W. Hill, M. D., and M. Marshall graduated from Tufts College, recently, the former receiving the degree A. B. L. A. Dominis, graduated from the Normal Art School, Boston. We had eight graduates from the Cambridge, Mass., High School, and eleven from two of Cleveland, Ohio's four High Schools; four from its Normal School, and one from its College for Women of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, also had a number of graduates from other institutions—into the professions, etc. Congressman W. S. Howard of Georgia, has introduced a "jimcrow" stricter car bill for the District of Columbia. The Illinois Legislature has passed a bill appropriating $25,000 for holding of an exposition in 1915 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. The consensus of opinion is that the next session of the legislature will further the work of the commission. Fannie E. Asey was valedictorian of the graduating class of the Springfield, Ill., High School last week. Prof H. E. Jordan, a Southern white man, of the University of Virginia, advances an opinion which means that missegenation will be the ultimate solution of the Negro problem. He makes this assertion in an article in The Popular Science magazine for an article from the remarkable statement that the mutuato is the leaven with which to lift the Negro race. He holds that such mixing produces a better class. The democrats are now drawing the color line among the postoffice employees at Washington, D. C. A razor found in a bad man's pocket was characterized by the presiding judge as a toilet article. Years ago the bowie knife was called a toothpick, and it is possible that he would look upon the revolver as a powder box, especially if found in the possession of a woman Jacob L. Farner and Taylor B. Wilkes from the Collegiate department, Willis J. King from the School of Theology, and Joseph A. Mason and Boldy L. Whitehead from the medical school, were our graduates from Boston University, June 4. The final meeting of the Congo Reform Association was held in London, England, June 16, after nearly 10 years existence. Its following five objects of atrocities: 2—The abolition of the main features upon which the slave system reposed; 3—The separation of the administration from the commercial element; 4—Direct taxation in place of irregular demands for rubber; 5—Freedom of trade. In the Springfield, Mass., Board of Trade prize essay contest, M. Lavalette Witten senior in Central high school was awarded the third prize of 5$ in gold for essay. As ten was recently awarded a prize in a civil service prize essay contest. Cloyd L. Boykin of Boston, Mass., who painted a fine portrait of Wendell Phillips, and who is a student of the Fine Arts School of that city, recently exhibited paintings and studies in the Twentieth Century club Boston. The daily papers of that city praise the artist and say she as an artist is very smart. Mrs. A. C. Williams of Denver, Col., is an exceptionally successful chicken fancier, and has won a number of prizes with her fine chickens. Sydney A. Gross, 16-year-old boy of 3335 N. 17th St., Philadelphia, Pa., is a prodigy. His discovery of a practical method of trisecting any angle of 180 degrees or less has started mathematicians of the East and has inspired theories which have been taught by students of geometry since the science was discovered thousands of years ago. Even the immortal mind of the immortal Euclid never conceived the apparently simple invention which is the child of the Philadelphia sculptor, who is a member of the latin scientific course in the sophomore year of the Boys' High school of that city. Ridicule of his fellow students aimed at him when he disputed a statement of Prof. Samuel K. Brecht, was responsible for the construction of the model which has caused the known authorities on mathematics to criticize to a wonder and his invention as one of the greatest practical contributions to geometrical science ever made. Among these eminent authorities are David Eugene Smith of Columbia University; Dr. M. J. Babb, president Middlesex Mathematical Association; other mathematical Theodore lauded overshadows Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University. The Pioneer Press has always admired, indeed loved, Hon Herman C. Smith for his lifetime devotion to his race's rights, and throwing those jocular glasses aside, wholeheartedly we join you in an everlasting war that disfranchisement is so justly called "jimcrow" laws are hells of imps and, to kill them will kill the nits of all other wrongs. The Pioneer Press took the same stand and stands there now on all fours, that if the Negroes generally would unite and fight these two major and infamous men in the Brownsville soldiers, which is insignificant to "jimcrow" and disfranchisement laws, they would soon be wiped out. We had a taste of the stinking old rotten "crow," last Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, after riding as an American in the Army in the Brownsville blushing conductor, "Mr. Clifford, will you please come with me into the rear car. I am sorry to do this, but it's the law." In Harrisonburg, Va., we lined up with the whites to take our turn to get a ticket, and when near the window a Colored man, who seemed uneasy and pale, stepped up and said, "You can get a ticket for the police." In the third place, the Colored people's "jimcrow" room. We got no ticket and paid our fare on the train. Infernal. Not only "jimcrowed," but such a crowd of white railroad laborers flooded our pig-pen that they made it more offensive than it was otherwise; and of all conduct we have ever witnessed, skylines of skyscrapers that carried, and not a word was said against it. Loud and boisterous talking, boxing, and one fellow sat on the arm of our seat, and so it went on. Terrible! HOTEL DALE GUESTS. Cape May, N.

DEDICATED Magnificent Monument to Race Prejudice, Intolerance, Inhumanity and White American Christian Hypocrisy Opened at Chicago—Wealthy Jew Clive Money to Aid Establishment of the Color Line. CHICAGO, IL—With the blare of the bugle and the applause of hundreds of unthinking people who will suffer by its existence, a magnificent fervor upon our people and will ever stand as a monument to the prejudice, intolerance, inhumanity and hypocrisy of white American "Christianity" and the servility of our local Negroes. The alleged Young Men "Christian" Association, "exclusively for Negroes," became a reality June 14 did not expect to be the day when the jim-crow Christian association will rear its head in this city, but the day has come and I bow my head in shame. When I was a child there was very little prejudice here, but year by year it has increased and new the "jim-crow Christian" association has come to mark an epoch in the retrogression of the race. All "jim-crow" establishments like to me The jim-crow Christian associated with prayer and opened in the name of Christ does not make it any less odious than the "jim-crow" car, the "jim-crow" gallery in the theatre, the "jim-crow" school, the "jim-crow" or segregation law, or anything that is "jim-crow." A "jim-crow" association ought to be unthinkable to a much Christian and it is. No sincere thought to enter his brain, much less aid in the establishment of an institution so remote from the spirit of true Christianity. Mr. Rosenwald, the Jew, who has given so much money in aid of the "jim-crow" work, was present and delivered the principal address. His remarks were ludicrous were it not for the seriousness of the matter to his building and we must dedicate ourselves to the great task before us of removing race hatred." The idea of removing race hatred by establishing an institution which draws the color line. How can it be done? The trouble, today, is that the races are getting further and further apart. Race hatred can only be removed free from the very thing which he is spending his millions to aid, and even today millions of Jews have not yet emerged from the Russian Cheto is fighting the Russian Cheto in the United States to make himself popular with prejudiced white "Christians" in order that he may reap a reward in dollars? A stranger thing is the fact that although Mr. Rosenwald is willing to give thousands of dollars to aid in segregating his Colored fellow-citizens and condemning them to the disabilities which his people have suffered for so many years, he is not willing to give his great mail-order house where thousands of white girls are employed. Recently a young Colored woman by the name of Miss Bettleigh Fortson, living at No. 2862 Washabie, this city, read an advertisement of Sears, Roebuck & Co., in the Chicago Tribune stating that "girls over seventeen years of age were wanted for general work, pricing and billing," Fortson, who is well qualified, applied to the office of several hours one of the headwoman addressed her, and when she was employed. Recently a young Colored woman by the name of Miss Fortson that she came in reply to the Tribune advertisement, that official could scarcely refrain from laughing in her face, but she straightened it up and said for you to do. Another instance: About the students learned of the matter and made a "kick." Mr. Rosenwald quickly changed his mind. As the head of the largest mail-order house in the world, with a private fortune estimated at from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 Mr. Rosenwald has the power to make and promote women and men in his business and he is not in any way hampered by the objectives of labor unions, for his employees are not organized. He could do more to really assist the race, by giving us good places, in one year than his "jim-crow Christian" association will accomplish in a thousand years, because every moment of its existence it is taught to understand the nature of what we need is a change to make an honest living, not patronizing religious "jimcrowism." The Y. M. C. A., as it exists today, is a prejudice-breeder of gigantic dimensions. It is the tool of the PREJUDICED AMERICAN WHITE "CHRISTIAN" SYSTEM which has for its object the degradation of our people. It means to despoil the race of every right, and will not be satisfied until a race of good n—rs has been produced. It has been used to degrade the book and the booklet issued by the Canah Zone Y. M. C. A. specifically states that it is ONLY FOR WHITE EMPLOYES OF THE CANAL COMMISSION. How any Colored man who was prominent in the Chicago "jimcrow" movement can go home and face the children, I can not imagine, the "jimcrow" car, the "jimcrow" school, segregation, disfranchisement and practical serfdom will follow the Jimcrow movement. The night follows the day. It is the first link in the chain of "jimcrowism" which is to be forged about the limbs of the race, and in the years to come when the race has been reduced to a plitable condition as the result of the work of these perhaps well-meaning but misguided men, their descendants will be justified in rising and cursing their memory. There are other Colored men who deserve little consideration. I mean the men who are in the pay of the Y. M. C. A. and travel in the city. O. S. Smith of Chicago in order that they may draw salaries and institute "jimcrow Christian" associations. Let us cover such similiary mercenary creatures with the mantle of charity, for perhaps their little minds can not conceive the eocrinity of their offence against their people. I hope that our people of the northern cities in which "jimcrow Christian" associations have not yet been established will fight such proposals to the bitter end. All honor to the bitter end. Mrs. Ia B. Wells-Barnett of Chicago, W. Monroe Trotter of Boston, and the host of other noble souls who have fought "jimcrowism" in all its hideous forms.

P. O. E. (white) in the state of Ohio. "THE NOACHIAN CURE." The Gazette is indebted to Bishop C. S. Smith, of Detroit, for a printed copy of his exceptionally able Wilberforce commencement address, anent which Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of Wilberforce in Pa. (Pa.) Christian Reckon, says: "The general position that the so-called curse pronounced by Noth upon Canaan in Genesis 9:25-27, has any validity as expressing the will of God to punish the descendants of Ham, or any fulfillment in history, so far as possible, is the successful attack in the able address of Bishop C. S. Smith. "On his side, Bishop Smith has all the best Old Testament scholarship. For we know no real scholar who gives any validity to the curse as an entreaty to do violence to popular theories of inspiration to so hold." JOHNSON LEAVES AMERICA World's Champion Heavyweight Fighter Sails with His Wife and Takes Two Automobiles. Montreal, Can.—Jack Johnson, accompanied by his wife (white), Lucille Cameron Johnson, left for Havre on the steamer, "Corinthian," June 29. They boarded the steamer the night previous in the presence of Canadian immigration officers. Just before going on board, Johnson reiterated his declaration that he had no intention of forfeiting his boat bond in Chicago as he was going to Europe to recoup, by boxing contests, losses he has sustained in his trials. He said he would be in Chicago when his appeal from a white slave conviction is argued in November. He took with him two automobiles. Jack added: "I intend going direct to St. Peter's Church. I have a fight Sam Langford and Gunboat Smith. These fights will be pulled off some time in September." Have You Any of These Copies? Mrs. Clara J.

SILK DRESS ALWAYS NEEDED ‘Admirable Little Gown of Taupe Silk 1s Shown in the Iilustration—The ‘Combination Gown Has Many dlahviauidebisie: New York.—The suit question is the most difficult problem of the season, because severely tailored modes are rivaled by the domi-tallored suits that arg quite dressy. Heretofore you felt Patoolly satiated Ae you. got a plaid tailored suit of sorge, or another light- welght cloth, for you know that it would be in good style for utility and semi-dress wear throughout the 6pring and summer. But this is not so this Season, for you realize that a silk suft is absolutely necessary for demi-dress occasions, and that a cloth eult is needed for morning and traveling wear. In other words, you are con: fronted with the necessity of getting two suits! Probably this may seem like extravagance, {f you don't stop to consider that a silk dress is always needed in the spring, and that if you can got a coat with it, you will have a suit as well as a droas, Combination Gown. It you anticipate many social affairs that require an afternoon gown, or if you expect to go abroad and intend to look in upon the races, you will find it an economy to get two such cos- tumes—a combination suit, with an ti Taupe Silk. old gold crepe de chine skirt (tash- loned in a “peg top” or draped style), with bodice of natural color filet and mechlin laces and gold embroidery, finished with a girdle of Nattier biue silk; a suit of black crepe meteor, with Jaunty empire cutaway coat’ and draped skirt, and by having the coat lined with gold-color chiffon you can wear it with the old gold gown, and at other times, the lace bodice of the gown may be worn with the suit By so doing you can really have three beautiful costumes for the cost of two. ‘As the season advances it becomes more evident that the rich-colored gowns and short black coats are fore most among ultra styles. Although I have already suggested a black crepe meteor suit, I want to second the fact, as you may be tempt- ed by the brocade and Casiton crepes that are so popular. Crepe meteor al- ways looks refined and clogant, while the others are apt to become too eom- mon by belng Imitated. Cote de coe- val, which looks like silk Bedford cord, is worthy of your consideration, it you wish to expend at least five dol- lars a yard for the material. ‘This silk is also used for the finest afternoon conts.

MEAD CYCLE COMPANY, © CHICAGO, ILi, Pertinent Question, Prof. Bliss Perry likes to tell this story about a suffrage meeting which @ friend of his attended. After con- siderable business had been disposed of by the suffragists, one of their number made a motion that the wom- en living in the town where the mect- ing was held should endeavor at the next election to place a woman on the school board. The presiding of. cer sald, referring to the motion, “Is there any question?” For a few moments there was si- lence. Then a shrill voice far up in the gallery sald sweetly: “Will you please tells us how you get that smooth effect over the hips?”—Cleve- land Leader. A Careful Father. Customer—Give me two packages of cigarettes, please. Dealer (wishing to offer Induce ments)—This 1s the best brand. In each package you will find one of those very spiey photographs— Customer (horrified) — Heavens, man! Give me some other kind. These are for my daughter!—Puck. A Traltress. “She was drummed out.” “Expelled from the suffragettes?” “Yes; they ascertained that she was merely hiking to take off weight, and pot through any real zeal for the cause.” Biek ca aati Giadys—The heroine in a novel al ways turns down the good catch! Yorna—But in real life the good sich never turns up.—Judge.
