CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1914 ACTIVE WORKER IN MANY FIELDS Eventful Career of Major R. R. Jackson Noted. Man Who Sold Newspapers on Streets of Chicago When a Boy Wins Distinction as a Legislator, Promoter of Big Business Enterprise, Secret Society Leader and Soldier. Chicago.—Foremost among the young men in Chicago who are making good is to be found Major R. R. Jackson of the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythons of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. He is a charter member of the Eighth regiment, national guard, and is at the head of the largest printing establishment operated by the race in this city. Major Jackson was born in Chicago Sept. 1, 1870, and received his early education in the public and high schools. He obtained his early business training by working as a newspaper merchant. He sold papers at Harrison and State streets nearly forty years ago, and by this he was able to care for his grandmother for a number of years and at the same time attend school. He also worked as an eleva- 110 MAJOR R. B. R. JACKSON. tor conductor. Jackson only used his elevator position, however, as a means to an end, because while in this position he met many of the leading men of the city. He took the civil service examination, made good marks and was appointed to a clerkship in the Chicago postoffice, where he made a good record, serving twenty-one years. For twelve years Major Jackson served as assistant superintendent of Armour station, the highest position held by any member of his race in the Chicago postoffice system. While in this position in the postoffice Major Jackson proved his interest in his people. He was instrumental in having appointed 124 men and boys as clerks, carriers, janitors and special delivery messengers and has assisted over 100 men in securing positions in the various railroad offices in Chicago. For a young man he has a splendid record as a soldier. During the Spanish-American war when the Eighth Illinois regiment was ordered to the field Major R. B. Jackson was ready for duty. He made many friends in Cuba and showed while there his military ability. He is now working to secure for his regiment a military home and hopes to see this realized at an early date. Major Jackson was elected a member of the Illinois legislature, but was counted out by the machine. He contested his election and was seated just a short time before the legislature adjourned sine dime. He made good use of his opportunity. Immediately upon being seated in the house of representatives Speaker McKinley recognized his worth by appointing him on the following committees: Chicago charter, fraternal and mutual insurance, federal relations, military affairs, miscellaneous subjects and municipal courts of Chicago. The first thing to claim his attention was the various jimcrow legislation pending in the house, and he went about the matter immediately and used his influence to check this unfair legislation. The intermarriage bill was brought before the committee on miscellaneous subjects, and Major Jackson, being a member, right there and then helped to bury it in an unknown grave. Then followed his good work on the "full crew bill," which would have put many of the men of the race out of the railroad service. This, like the other bill, was killed after the major had got in his work. In this he served his race and the state at the same time. The fifthth anniversary of the emancipation of the slaves claimed his attention, and he introduced a bill appropriating $25,000 for that purpose, which went through without opposition, receiving a unanimous vote.

The institution now has one large substantial building and several smaller ones, in which are taught more than eight industries. Mr. J. R. Webster, a prominent citizen of Branton and a good friend of the Piney Woods school, says of Mr. Jones and the work which he is doing for our people in Branton and vicinity; "I am moved by a spirit of deep interest and a knowledge of the importance of an industrial education to say a few words in commendation of Lawrence C. Jones, who has identified himself with the colored people of our community by establishing a training school where the boys and girls can be taught and made to see the practical points of life and more clearly realize their duty as citizens to themselves and fellow men."

Prominent Speakers Deliver Inspiring Addresses at Annual Gathering of Influential Secret Order—Former District Grand Master Robert J. Nelson Encourages Household of Ruth. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Harrisburg, Pa.—The observance of Peter Ogden day by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows recently was general among the members of the order throughout the country. The celebration held in this city was noted for the timeliness of the program of exercises and the prominence of the speakers, among whom was District Deputy Grand Master Robert J. Nelson of this state. Mr. Nelson's address was listened to with close attention throughout its delivery. He was warmly greeted by the brotherhood, and he in part said: "That illimitable, silent, never resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent like an all embracing ocean tide, has spanned threescore and ten years since Peter Ogden planted the banner of Odd Fellowship on the soil of this country, and to its principles we again affirm our allegiance as we assemble at this shrine. "As I stand before you on this occasion to assist in memorializing the founder of our great and splendid fraternity I am impressed at the obligation resting upon us, the followers of Peter Ogden, who reared on this soil the great organization that has been of incalculable benefit to our race. "Peter Ogden was of American birth and was self educated. He early felt the importance of an honorable life and was desirous of leaving a name that would command respect. We have no record that he spring from a house ancient and noble. He sprang from a race, impoverished, which had been a race lacking advantage and which was in need of an uplifting influence, when he called on the brethren across the sea to give it the hand of fraternal fellowship. "He was not a proud, cynical man, a scorner of his people, nor was he implacable in his vindictiveness of spirit. Everything points to the fact that he was gentle, but firm—a virile character whose vigorous life had the elements of true greatness. There may not hang about his life the perfume of either the spelling book or the lexicon—his deeds were living, seedful fruit. Divine Providence guided his actions and his title to fame will rest securely upon the grand and noble fraternal structure reared by his own efforts. Naturally of a generous spirit, he was distinguished for the strength of his intellect. As we meet to memorize Peter Ogden we do it with a sense of appreciation of his real life. We bestow upon him that full measure of praise his deeds, his foresight and many character demand we should as the years come and go. "The order he founded, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, is one of the most potential organizations of which our race can boast and the good it has done and is doing in the cause of humanity and for the general uplift of our race is not equaled by that of any organization extant. As we read the history of our order we will find that its deeds are so bright and its achievements so fruitful that it stands forth in every community as a beacon light beckoning the good men, women and children into its ranks. "One of the agencies that has contributed so materially to our steady growth as well as our influential status was the opportunity we gave the women to become a part of our order nearly sixty years ago. Known as the Household of Ruth, their branch was taken from the most beautiful book of the Bible-Ruth. I want to go on record here and now as favoring a larger recognition for the Household, and you may be assured that I will at all times lend whatever aid I can in that direction." DANIEL F. MOONEY C. HARRIS & EWING Daniel F. Mooney, 8c. Marye, Oo has been appointed United States minister to Paraguay. He is the first resident diplomatic representative accredited to that country since 1870, when the diplomatic posts of Uruguay and Paraguay were combined. FORMER PROSPEROUS SALESMAN IS SLAIN BODY IS FOUND IN SORDID, DISMAL BASEMENT BENEATH CAFE IN GOTHAM. Victim's Skull Is Split Open and Part of His Right Ear Cleaved Away—Short Handled Ax is Found. New York City—Arthur J. Sleevan, aged 26, a graduate of St. Francis college, Montreal, and formerly star salesman of the Cudahy Packing concern in Chicago, was murdered in the sordid, dismal basement beneath the Costello and Boles cafe at 637 6th-av just above 37th-st. The police were able to discover neither motive nor clue for the crime. About the dead man's throat was found his own belt, which had been drawn so tightly that it had sunk into the flesh. His skull was split wide open and part of his right ear had been cleaved away. Hardly a yard away from his body was found a short handled ax with blood stains upon blade and handle. The names of two women crept into the mystifying tangle, both of which the police refused to reveal. One was of a woman living in Boston, postcards and letters from whom were found near the dead man's body, and the other was that of a trained nurse living upstate, said to have been infatuated with Sleevan in his more prosperous days. WIFE SPANKS HUSBAND WOMAN ADMITS LAYING MAN WHO SPENDS MONEY FOR DRINK OVER KNEE. Sunbury, Pa.—John Berger, who weighs only 90 pounds, called at the office of Squire M. P. Tierney and had a warrant issued for the arrest of his wife for assault and battery. When the woman appeared in his office the squire saw that she weighed all of 300 pounds and had a chin that was square. "Did you whip your husband?" asked the squire. "I surely did," was the reply. And she continued, "I will do it again. We have six children and he earns $12 a week. Last week he got out and spent two of it for drink, and when he came home I laid him over my knee and, furthermore, he ate breakfast standing up." COURT WARNS MOTHERS SAYS WOMEN WHO ATTEND FILM SHOWS TOO OOFTEN WILL LOSE PENSIONS. Canton, O.—Mothers who frequent the movies can't get a pension under the new state law as interpreted in Stark county. "Do you attend moving picture shows?" will be one of the questions Probate Judge Charles Krichbaum will ask every applicant for a pension. "We would not refuse a pension just because the mother goes to a picture show once in awhile, but if we find that she goes often, she probably neglects her children and is not deserving of help," says the court. Booster Attacks Girl. Washington, Pa.—Seriously injured by the vicious attacks of a game rooster Mary Booher, four, daughter of Dr. T. M. Booher of Bethany, W. Va., near here, was saved from probable death by the timely arrival of Don Mann, student at Bethany college. The little girl was on the ground and the maddened rooster was leaping on her, striking her with his long spurs when Mann, passing, saw the situation. Leaping the fence the youth beat the rooster off. IN UNION UNION AT STRONG YOUTH CONFESSES SLAYING TEACHER Lad, Whom Woman Was Trying to Reform, Gives Details to Authorities. Boy Tells How He Led Victim Through Lonely, Unfrequented Road, Beat Her to Death With Monkey Wrench and Stabbed Her. Herkimer, N. Y.—Jean Gianini, the seventeen-year-old boy arrested for the murder of Miss Lida Beecher, the pretty school teacher who was found beaten to death near Poland on Saturday, broke down and confessed Monday. The confession, which is in the hands of District Attorney Farrell, shows that the killing was carefully planned and carried out in the most cold-blooded manner. Gianini, whom Miss Beecher was trying to reform, invited the young teacher to call upon his parents and urge them to allow him to return to his studies in the Poland high school. The youth had left the school last summer when he was committed to St. Vincent industrial school for incorrigibility. Believing that the boy really desired to mend his ways, Miss Beecher volunteered to accompany him to his home last Friday evening. Gianini armed himself with a monkey wrench, hiding the weapon in a piece of burial in his pocket. Led Her Through Lonely Road. When the Gianini home was nearly reached the youth informed Miss Beecher that he suddenly remembered that his parents were not at home, having gone to visit a neighbor named Holcomb. Miss Beecher promised to accompany Gianini to the Holcomb residence, the road to which lies through lonely, unfrequented country. Suddenly Gianini drew his weapon from his pocket and struck his companion upon the head, knocking her unconscious. He continued to rain blows upon her and then drew a dirk and stabbed her. Gianini said that he talked calmly to his companion about his plans to reform until they reached the summit of Cold Brook road, a quarter of a mile from the nearest dwelling, where the attack was made. Hides Body in Swamp. "After I beat the girl to death I dragged the body across the roadway through a barbed wire fence and hid it behind a clump of willows in a swamp," said the boy. "There was snow on the ground and the blood from the cuts on Miss Beecher's head and breast left stains, so I turned some fresh snow over the red marks. The murder took place about 8 o'clock Friday night. It was dark and lonely, but I did not feel afraid. After hiding the body I hurried home and hid the weapons in a cupboard and went to bed." Gianini said he arose early Saturday morning and carried the wrench and knife, to the stable of Samuel Hutchinson, a neighbor, where he hid them. The youth fled from Poland on Saturday and was arrested in the village of Newport, five miles away. "How did you sleep Friday night after killing Miss Beecher?" asked the district attorney. "I slept fine, for I had had my revenge," replied the boy. OHIO COAL MINES CLOSE FIFTY THOUSAND MEN WILL RE-MAIN IDLE PENDING WAGE AGREEMENT. Cleveland.—Six hundred coal mines in Ohio, employing approximately 50,000 men, suspended operations at 3:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and will remain closed until miners and operators effect a satisfactory wage agreement and the constitutionality of the mine-run basis payment law is tested in the courts. This action was taken by Walter R. Woodford, president of the Eastern Ohio Coal Operators' association, as dispatches arriving from Pittsburgh told of the signing of wage agreements on last year's payment basis between western Pennsylvania operators and miners. Tariff Expert Dies. Montclair, N. J.—William Dewart, prominently identified with the first Canadian protective tariff act and for many years a writer of articles dealing with tariff questions in the United States and Canada, died at the home of his son here.

Cooke of Cottage Mack, State Soldiers' home, a veteran from near Urbana, admitted the other day, sighed when ushered into the receiving barracks ante-room to await his turn in the barracks bath, and remarked: "Well, I'm 72 years old and this is going to be the first time I ever took a bath."

Se ache i ew SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1914: ‘The Gazette agrees, heartily, with Mr. Andrew F. Hilyer, whose commu- nication will be found elsewhere in this paper, Judge Robert H. Terrell’s confirmation should be made a race matter by ail of our people, in a posi- tion to do so, urging their U. S. sen- ators to vote to confirm the appoint. ment of Mr, Terrell as a judge of the Municipal Court at Washington, D. C. rc BRYAN AS SECRETARY OF STATE. No Secretary of State in the his- tory of the country has been so Ken- erally condemned by friends of the administration in power at the time as William Jennings Bryan is being condemned. The New York World, a firm supporter of the present admin. istration, declares that “public confi- dence in the State Department has ceased to exist,” and that there would he @ panic were it not for the general belief that the President acts as his own Secretary of State. “Many great men,”/says the World, “have been Secretary of State. and not a few small men have been Sec- retary of State; but no other man, great or small, ever trifled with the first office in the cabinet as Mr, Bryan has triffed with it.” “THE SOUTH IN THE SADDLE.” ‘The Philadelphia Press draws at tention to the fact tat “more South- erners are in charge of the big ex- ecutive departments of the Govern: ment than since back in the 50s,” ‘There ts a distinct emphasis given to this fact by the insulting diserimina tion and “erowding out” policy against Colored employes in the depart- ments, In Congress it Is just as bad. Southerners hold the chairmanships of practically all of the committees, in both the House and Senate. ‘The effect of this is seen in legislation. The ‘Tarli law Atselt is an evidence of this, While the general tenor of the law is one for revenue only, whatever, protection to agricultural products is given applies to those ralved in the South; northern farm products must meet keen competition from Canada and South America. OR. FESS ON THE. PROGRESSIVE PARTY. “The fiture of the Progressive movement as a third party must wholly depend upon whether its au- tonomy is necessary to secure need ed reforms.” Starting out with this AS a postulate, Dr, Fess, one of the trio of Republican Representatives ‘tm Congress, recently delivered a speech of unusual interest and of historical value, It contained a phil osophical and keen analysis of the elements which have formed the ax. grogate in the composition of new po- iitical party movements: and it also was a review of the careers of third. party organizations. Reasoning’ by analogy, Dr. Fess plainly indicated the collapse of the Bull Moose party. He elaimed that thé vote of the Progres- sives in 1912 ‘was an expression of personal attachment to a leader rath- er than dissatisfaction with their par- ty (the Republican) or opposition to its principles.” After a forceful statement of pro- tection and an flluminating expost- tion of the present unsatisfactory in- dustrial condition owing to its aban- doument by the Democratic adminis- tration, Dr. Fess prophesied that whatever might be the decision of the leaders the rank and file of the Progressive party will reunite with their old party to restore that policy. LEFTWICH AND SEGREGATION. | Our advice to Presiden: John C. pehrap ot the Creek-Seminole Col- lege, ;, Okla., who is in the city soliciting funds for his school, and a communication from whom will be found elsewhere in this paper, is to “eut out” of his addresses to white audiences of the North, his “explana- tion” of why he is “separationist.” and what most white people in this ‘section who hear Sim would very nat- urally construe as advocacy of segre- gation, will. be eliminated, and the harm he is now doing us with his un- necessary “explanation” will be dis: continued. Unless he desires to pro- ‘mote segregation in the North, he ‘will do this, too. Relative to the two concluding par agraphs of his letter, we wish to any that several of our people present at the Second Presbyterian church and in the thea'er to which he refers, inform The Gazette that there were others of Our people seated in other parts of the church and theater on the even- sogs in question, than those mentioned by bim in bis communication. DR. SUTPHEN’S EXPLANATION as that “the white man of the North | owes the Afro-American nothing.” | What I said was, that the Northern white man owes the Afro-American LESS than the Southern white man owes him, inasmuch as the Afro- American developed the South by his labor. I particularly stated that the whole country, North as well as South, reaped whatever benefits there were in slave labor, while the South profited by It more than the North, 1 should be sorry to believe that the Afro-American feels no debt to the white people of the North who fought the battles of the Union which resulted in giving him freedom, and do not believe it. ‘The war was. un- doubtedly fought as you state—to pre- serve the Union—but it was slavery alone thet put thg Union in danger, and the preservation of the Union ‘meant freedom for the slaves. In speaking. of Afro-Americans be- Ing crowded out of positions formerly held by them and attributing this to the fact that other men were doing the work better, I was simply quoting representatives of the race who have sald so themselves, the point being that itis the white iman’s duty to give all possible-aid to the Atro-American to enable hjm to secure a training which will At him to compete with others. 1 empliasized the importance of in- ‘Austrial training at the present time above classical training, but not to the exclusion of the latter where there are individuals to whom a classical training would be of greater service. I believe the game statement would apply to the majority. of immigrants, coming to this eouniry, and to most white young men of American par- entage. It Is strange to me that your cor- respondent should have so completely misapprehended my reference to the “heroes” who settled the West. ‘The ilustration was used to show that the South oes to the Afro-American, and the whole country as well, the same debt of appreciation and honor for his herote work in developing the South, that we owe to the pioneers in de veloping the West. ‘The remark was ( distinct tribute to the Afro-Amert- can. No reference: was made to the part which he also.took in that west- Jern development, because it was over: shadowed by bis’ still greater work in a cree ween | Pastor Second Presbyterian Church, | itt gcommenting on the foregoing — Dr, Sutphen's interesting letter—It is [only fair to say to our readers that he has been a good friend of the race, as [far as we have been able to sce and learn, ever since his coming to the jcity, many years ago. Therefore, any eon Ie way have made oF may make in references to our people are, we ifirmly believe, only those of judgment, the result of incorrect information, and not because of any untrlendliness toward the race, We must, however, confess a little astonishment at the good doctor's per- sistence in clinging to the erroneous {dea that “the white ‘people of the North fought the battles of the Union" [in the war of the rebellion, “Como, dear friend, what about the thousands ‘of loyal whites from Kentucky, Ten-| nessee, Missouri and other Southern states, as well ax the two hundred thousand “Negroes who took part in that war, on the Union’s side, with Northern’ “white” men? What about FU Wagner, Ft. “Pillow, Petersburg, Milliken’s Bend, Port Hudson, Morris Island, Nashville and dozens of other battles on land, and sea, either fought or participated in by Negro soldiers? ‘The “debt the Afro-American feels to the white people of the North for siving him freedom,” which, by the way, he himself helped to give; is the same ag the “debt”, the “white people of the North" owe the Afro-American for so materially assisting them in “saying the Union.” Also, “the pres- ervation of the Union meant freedom for the slaves” Only after Jan. 1, 1863, and not before that date. ‘The war of the rebellion started in 186i—two Years before—with it thoroughly un- derstood and “proclaimed trom the housetops”, that the freedom of the slaves was not and must not be made an issue; or Would the enlistment of Negrocs as soldiers be permitted, &e., &. It was the South's Intolerant insist- ence upon the extension of slavery rather than the existence of the thing itself, that “put the Union in danger" and brought on the war which was not fought jirimarily, or even second- arily, for the freedom of the slave. As to the fourth paragraph of Dr. Sutphen’s letter, we can only repeat what we said in The Gazette, last week, anent it, and that is, that race | and color-prejudice has crowded out | and continues to crowd ninety-nine | of every one hundred Afro-Americans | out of positions formerly held by them. ‘Those who “lose out” because | of inefficiency and for other reasons | than the one stated, are represented | by the one out of every one hundred, gnd tht is a generous allowance, too. || "Representatives of the race” who, give other information are not only || misleading our friends in most in-|\ stances, but are greatly harming the |1 race, ‘ Gomment on the other paragrayihs | of Dr. Sutphen’s letter Is unnecessary, | because they are in the main, good | ind satisfactory. ee ‘ A MONUMENT TO MOTHERHOOD. |: Aunt Rachel Blue, an aged Negro woman who was born in slavery, died the other day at Uhrichsville, 0.’ Peo- ple of that town are going to erect a monument to her. They are to honor the memory of a woman who was one of the humblert among them all, Most contributions to the fund are dimes and quarters, yet the total already is more than $160. Aunt Rachel Blue was found dead in a chair in the smok- ing ruins of her little home, The chair in which she sat was at the bedside of her crippled son, a man of 40.

Senator Vardaman has come out in & local daily paper and declared his eternal opposition to Colored. men holding public office or taking part in the government. He says he will op- pose on race grounds, the confirma: tion of Judge R. H. Terrell. 1 do not know how you, with your larger vi sion, may see it, but I think we ought to miake Judge ‘Terrell’s confirmation a race matter. That is, Judge Ter- rell’s personality should be submerged, and we should only view the issue as an effort on the part of Mr. Varda- man and those who may stand with him, to close “the door of hope” to ten’ millions of loyal American citi zens; to establish by ational sane don ‘an awful blighting color caste in this free democratic country.

These men, who “would do more for the Negro than he can do for himself,” are “in the saddie,” ‘They have been in power for years. What have they done for the Negro? They have de- prived him of the greater part of his school money and sehoolk; they have made it a penalty for whites to teach Nexroes; they have. prevented the Negro from voting: they haye intiml. dated Negro office holders; they have “Jim-crowed” the Negro in every way in their power: and more—they have hanged him, riddled him with bullets and burned him without trial, and Sometimes without evidence of guilt. Occasionally, instead of burning him, they cut up his body to keep as “sou: venirs” and “mementoes,” as reported. Yet every time a measure is proposed that would benefit the Negro, these men who “would do” so much for the . .egro either oppose the measure or insist on managing it to. suit them. selves. ‘These men do not preserve the Negro’s life, liberty, progress, nor happiness, but permit him to be intim- idated and mobbed in order to make cowards of the remainder and “show them their place.”—Albany (O.)

Mr. President and Brethren of the Cotivedk iMinistere’ Alliance: ‘We, your committee, appointed Jan. 20th, 1914, to investigate the alleged organization of a Home EXCLUSIVE: LY for COLORED children, beg leave to submit the following report: 1. We find that the Home on ¥, 126th St. Is a private enterprise and has been mainly supported by one Chas. E, Stewart. Relative to the care of the children or condition of the same, we express no opinion, and make no commendation since the tn- stitution is private, or, at the most, quasi public, 2 We find that & public home for Colored children; exchisively, has been projected, and a tentative organizt- tion has “been actually formed, with officers elected, a membership fee de- cided upon, and*imembership blanks printed 3. We also find that this proposed institution has the endorsement of Dr. ¥, A. Smith and Mr. ‘Thaxter Eaton of the Cleveland Humane Society, and T. C. Wellsted, assistant secre- tary ot) the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. ‘We, your committee, do hereby en- ter our most earnest and vigorous protest against the establishment of such an institution, for the following reasons, to. wit:— Ist—There is absolutely no neces- sity for such an fnstitution. The city, the county and the state have made ample and satistactory provision for all of Sts dependent children, without regard to race, color, or previous con- itions. 2nd—The multiplicity of such instt tutions simply increases. the public burden and must, ultimately, lead to the increase of taxation, now already heavy. Srd—The initiation of such an inst! tion. will inevitably lead to the dis- picably undemocratic and unchristian policy of segregation and therefore, become the entering wedge of “Jim crowism,” so detestable to. all self respecting Negroes, the: world over. 4. Such a step is plainly and un- mistakably retrogression, a wide step backward toward slavery and proscrip- tion, and a practical annihilation of the principles fought for, and obtained at the cost of much sacrifice, priva- tion and bloodshed. 6. We are an English speaking peo- ple, thoroughly American, loyal to every interest of our government, and firmiy believe in that perfectly demo- cratic principle so long enunciated by Dr, Lyman Abbott, and our own Dr. Washington Gladden—“The Fa- therhood ‘of God and the Brotherhood of Man.” ~ Report No. 2: We, your committee, recommend that this Alliance reaflirm its former declaration, that the only institutions and organizations, of color, in the city of Cleveland, ‘soliciting from the public, that we ‘endorse, are: ‘The Home’ for Aged Colored People, The Phyllis Wheatley Association, and The Cleveland Benevolent Association.

I would be glad to have you call upon me, but. per: haps your business imposes the same imitations upon your time. Would you eare, a8 an alternative; to write me a letter containing definite state- mont of what you, know, concerning he Mt. Pleasant home, ite official irpones, ete? T wil preserve. what Yours very truly, T. €, Wellsted Assistant Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. To the above the editor of The Ga zette replied that both time and pc tence were wanting to write such a communication as was asked. and made the suggestion that there should be a conference, Monday, Jan. 26, ‘Ui the time of whieh Mr. Wellstead could name and to which the writer would fjnvite Mrs. Hattle Fairfax and Mrs. Blanche Giimere. At 3 p.m. that day, the persons named assembled at the Chamber of Commerce and their num. ber augmented by the presence of Rev. H, C. Bailey, Chas, Stewart, Drs, A. J. Howard and J. K, Nickens, the jast three named, ‘being treasurer, president and sectetary of the tem: porary organization in control of the alleed “home”. ‘They came on the invitation of Mr, Wellsted; and Dr. Dailey, on the invftation of Mrs. Gl- mere at the suagestion of the editor of The Gazette. The conference lasted more than an hour and developed Some important facts. ‘The most im- portant was, that Stewart, who was the promoter of the defunct ‘jim: crow" Industrial Schoo! and 1s back of the “jim-erow Home” movement, is Being encouraged by three or four White persons, Mrs. Louise Stesman of the Juvenile court, being .among the number. Another is that all our people have to do, to get rid of this Intent shameful "segreration move ment, is to refuse to contribute to its support. Still another is, that all of ‘out local ministers, indecd the great mass of our people of this community, are unalterably opposed to it. An: other is, that Stewart has caused to be printed certifieates of membership with whieh he and his associates hope to raise money with which to make the “jim-crow” affair a success. Mr. Wellsted assured the conference that, “unless the Colored people supported ‘the thing, It could not hope for finan- ‘elal assistance from the Chamber of Commerce. There are a dozen or more churches and missions, the Old Folks’ home, ‘The Phyllis Wheatley Working Giris home as well as Bea- son's Working Girls’ Christian. home Tooking to our people of this commu: nity for support. It eeems to The Gazette that the burden is heavy enough, as tt is, to say nothing of add- Ing an unnecessary “Jim-crow,” sexre- gation children's home, Our depen- Gent, incorrigible and orphan children have heretofore beon well taken care of'in city, county and charitable in- stitutions, withont any colorline he- ing drawn on them, and there is no need of any change now.

E, church, Sunday, Jan, 25, 'I4, we must be far more active and “radical”; and “fight” to the death all such “Jim-crow” and ‘segregation attempts. HOMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. As a result of Judge Addams’ snd Sheriff Smith’s urging, the county com- missioners are planning a large de- tention home for boys and girls, the boys’ detention home on the west side and the one for the girls on this side of the elty, being inadequate to meet the demand.

Washington. They are concentrating particularly on Talladega at present. I wish people might realize how farreaching the work of these colleges is in the development of the civilization of our country. I am constantly traveling throughout the South and other sections of our country, and wherever I go I meet strong men and women who have been educated at one of these institutions. The men and women from these colleges are succeeding as teachers and leaders in nineteen other occupations. Many of the strongest men in the pulpits of the large denominations, such as Methodist and Baptist, have been educated at one of these institutions. But for the presence and influence of such educated men and women it would have been impossible for us to maintain peace and order between the white and black people in the South during all these years. If anyone wants to help in changing the attitude of the white people in the South toward the education of the colored people, he cannot do it in a more effective way than by contributing toward the endowment of these five leading colleges for our race in the South. It was my privilege recently, through an invitation, to attend the meeting of the executive committee of the American Missionary association, and I have never met a body of men who were more unselfishly devoted to the welfare of the South than is true of these committeemen. I very much hope the appeal which they are making to the public will meet a hearty response. Those cities which have a large colored population show high death rates. It has long been known as a scientific fact that the mortality among the negroes is greater than among whites, and the returns from the various states and cities demonstrate this fact. For instance, while the death rate in Portland, Ore., is but 11.0 in Richmond, Va., it is 22.4; in Birmingham, Ham, Ala., 20.4; in Atlanta, Ga., 19.3; in New Orleans, La., 21.3, and in Baltimore, Md., 19.4. Here in Washington, where one-third of the population is colored, the death rate is 17.5, and in 1911 it was as high as 18.9. These figures for the national capital are more significant when it is remembered that conditions are vastly different from those prevailing in such industrial centers as Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Detroit, where the danger from violent death in the mills and factories is a feature to be reckoned with. Here there are no factories and death from accident is much rarer than in cities such as those named.—Washington Star. Coal is by far the most important mineral product of India. The value of the output of the coal fields in 1912 reached a total of $16,088,374, which represents an advance of more than $2 per cent. But it's better to be born great than it is to thrust yourself upon greatness. Chinese bought 1,000,000 Bibles the first six months of this year. For thirty years a work for colored mothers has been maintained under many difficulties at Haddonville, N. J. under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Mrs Isabel Shipley is the superintendent and has succeeded in bringing a great deal of comfort into the lives of working women of the colored race who have homes dependent upon them. These mothers are brought together in cheerful meetings and both helped and taught to better their lot. Arrangements are made to assist them in their necessary purchases and to help them in their earnings. This winter the work has been extended to take in a larger district, the need being great. Mrs. Shipley found herself confronted with many pleas for a larger circle of those who could enjoy the benefits of these mother-meetings, and in the face of the heavily increased expense has undertaken to meet the call. These helpful meetings are but one line of the excellent work among colored people conducted under Mrs. Shipley's direction. There are some 69,000 Asiatics employed on British ships. A strange instance of freak memory is recorded in the case of a servant girl in a Scottish manse. She was almost illiterate, yet, when delirious in fever, surprised those around her by repeating long passages of the Bible in Hebrew. The kitchen where the girl spent her evenings adjoined the minister's study. He was accustomed to read aloud. The girl had not understood or consciously taken heed of the reading, yet her mind had seized upon and stored the phrases. Hard to please—The stage villain. There are now 26 days in the year recognized as legitimate occasions for holidays in most cities of England. These are in addition to the weekly half-holidays observed on Wednesdays and Saturdays. An effort is being made to lessen the number of holidays and to bring those retained into more systematic order. Russian girls are not averse to long engagements. About 6 per cent. of Ohio's automobiles are electric cars. In an address before the Wabash Avenue Y, M. C. A., former Governor Charles S. Deneen of Illinois, reviewing the negro's activities in this country during the half century of his freedom, told the exact truth when he said that the record was one of which no member of the race need be ashamed The sudden stepping from a "paternal and protective" condition, where the negro was entirely a dependent and his individual efforts were repressed to the utmost by the very nature of his condition, to a status of freedom made his problem an unusually difficult one. When to the normal difficulties of such a condition were added the natural race prejudice existed and still exists, and the bitter prejudices engendered of four years of bloody civil strife, it is plain enough that the negro's problem was one of the hardest that history records. Thus, however, is the negro's record summarized by Mr. Deneen: "It was under these adverse conditions that the negroes of the United States began their uphill struggle for industrial independence. Fifty years have elapsed since that time; a very brief period in the calendar of racial or national progress, and yet in that time I think it can safely be said that the advancement made has been something which the American people, and those of your own race in particular, may well be proud." The conclusion reached by Mr. Deneen is that the negro has "made good." That must be be the conclusion of every unblased observer. This fact gives promise that, despite noisy and offensive agitators among the whites and the impulsive and frequently ill-timed and ill-judged utterances of some negro leaders, we shall ultimately reach a solution of the "race problem" through the fairness and tolerance of the majority of the dominant race and the industry and continued usefulness and progress of the great majority of the negroes.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Addressing an audience of 500 negroes at Chicago, Judge Orrin N. Carter pointed out the real and gratifying progress made by the negro in America since the Civil war and, commenting upon the future of the race, said; "The future is largely in your own hands and must be provided for by education. It depends upon both the white and colored races if the Emancipation Proclamation is fully carried out." It is true that education is usually a solvent of prejudice. In that sense education is an excellent thing for the negro. Education to a certain degree is absolutely requisite. The negro should be able to read and write, should know commercial arithmetic and should have a fair knowledge of things in general. It is doubtful, however, whether what is commonly known as "higher education" will prove an unmixed blessing to the negro. One of the unhappiest persons in the world is the average highly educated negro. By supereducation he acquires a contempt for the ordinary activities of his race and the prejudice which still unhappily prevails prevents him from mingling upon terms of equality with the dominant white race, in which he would find in larger numbers his intellectual and cultural equals. There are exceptions to this rule, but their number is exceedingly small. Colored teachers of the District of Columbia public schools formed an organization looking to obtain closed relations between these educators. Officers were elected at the meeting which was held in the colored Y. M. C. A., as follows: R. A. Gillen, president; Miss May Cromwell, vice-breast; Miss Helen Moore, recording secretary; Miss Julia H. Smith, corresponding secretary, and Miss N' E. Gibbs, treasurer. A. U. Craig, Robert Mattingly, Miss Zela Dema, Miss L. G. Arnold and J. L. Chestnut were appointed a committee to frame a constitution and by-laws. The Italian supreme court has refused to allow Signorina Teresa Labriola to practise law in the country on the grounds that a woman cannot do anything in public life without the consent of her husband, and if she were allowed to practise law her husband might withdraw his consent.

The Swiss silk industry consists at present of more than 80 mills, nearly all of which are in the vicinity of Zurich. There are 14,000 looms in operation, and about 25,000 workers, chiefly women, are employed in this industry, earning from 60 cents to $1.20 a day. Holland's production of potato flour is increasing rapidly from year to year. Sweden is making efforts to revive its lobster industry. Nebraska's 1912 mineral output was valued at $1,490,582.

Should Clyde Engle fall to fill out the first base position for the Red Sox, in George Wilson, who topped the New England with a .365 average, they have a player eligible to compete with any of them for the initial sack. Jimmy Johnston, Cub fielder, says he is going to do his utmost to stick with the Cubs and show the Sox they made a mistake in letting him go.

More than $100,000 has been raised to put the Feds on their feet in Buffalo, according to official information. The stands will be wooden, it is said, is the necessary permit can be obtained from the city. In Bresnahan and Needham the Cubs have two of the heaviest catchers in either league. Both of these men are way above weight and have an ikrush task to get rid of the unnecessary poundage. George Graham, catcher of the Toronto (International league) Base Ball club, has been purchased by the Wichita club. Graham has played with the Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia National league clubs. W. R. Armour of the Kansas City club predicts that Jap Barbeau will not come anywhere near to filling the shoes of Shortstop Blackburn, hence he argues the Brewers cannot repeat for the pennant. Joe Birmingham has four first basemen trying for the position. Besides the veteran, Doc Johnston, there are Jack Knight, Gene Paulette and Roy Wood. The latter is making the best impression. --- Cobb, Speaker and Milan have been picked as the three greatest outfielders. Joe Jackson has been omitted because he is none too good a base runner, and covers but little ground in the field. --- "I don't want Cobb for any price," was the declaration made by Connie Mack, in regard to the annual freak yarn of Clarke Griffith that the latter would purchase the Tiger demon for $100,000. --- Branch Ricky has a young star trying for shortstop on the Brown nine. Hollander, the recruit, is one of Rickey's celebrated collegians and is the smallest member of the team. Pitcher Rudy Summers of the Chattanooga (Southern league) club has jumped to the Federal league, according to information received by Manager McCormick of Chattanooga. Bert Niehoff, now a Redleg, is capable of holding down third base this summer. So states Manager Charley Herzog, who has played that position for a lengthy period himself. Hughey Jennings, believes that George Moriarty, with his .275 batting average, is a more valuable player than any man who hit above the charmed .300 mark. Ralph L. Mattis, who led the Virginia league in batting last season, has signed to play with the Pittsburgh Feds. He is an outfielder and played with Roanoke. Manager Jack Wright says he has organized a stock company at Independence, Ky., and the fans are wild about the club going into the Spinney league. Whether or not the Federal league lives long enough to cash on its investment it will always remain a green memory with the ball players. A baseball manager's dream of heaven—Nap Rucker, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Wally Schang and Jimmy Archer on one team.

He courts an argument, provided he gets the decision, which is usually the result, writes Umpire Billy Evans. Catcher Krchell of St. Louis put one over on Silk last summer that drew a laugh from both teams and from the spectators within hearing distance. O'Loughlin failed to appréciate it. His countenance so plainly disclosed this that Manager Wallace feared his entire team might be sent to the clubhouse for Krchell's bon mot. In baseball, when a player meets the ball squarely with his bat, some of his teammates sing out, "That's putting the wood on it, old boy." During the game in question O'Loughlin was working the plate and a foul tip struck his mask, near the top, sailing into the grand stand with terrific speed. To everyone it seemed that the ball struck O'Loughlin on top of the head, and while he delayed the game momentarily to recover his wits, there came from the St. Louis bench Kirkchell's voice: "Nice work, Silk. That's putting the wood on it, old boy." In an instant O'Loughlin's expression changed from pain to astonishment. He glared at the St. Louis bench and Wallace was relieved when he failed to start a procession of athletes to the clubhouse. Charlie Doolin is trying hard to induce George Stallings to let him have Bill Sweeney, now that John Evers has consented to play with the Braves. Doolin is in need of a player like Bill to fill in at second base. The national commission has refused to reopen the case of the Otumwa club against the St. Joe club for the services of Player Parks. The national board has awarded Parks to St. Joe. Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pirates, says the Evers sale will stand and the Cubs will not get paid for Johnny, but may be permitted to purchase some one to fill his shoes. Jim Shaw, the Senators' husky recruit, is so pigeon-toed that every time Nick Atrock looks at him he thinks the youngster is falling over, and runs to hold him up. The White Sox will be sorry to see Bob Groom go to the Federsals. The Washington pitcher never finished a game he started against them last year. Hugh Jennings claims the tallest pitcher in either league. His name is Miles Main and he is on the tooth-pick order, being six feet six inches. The Giants are said to have the tallest battery in either league. Rube Marquard and Larry McLean are called the Elfel tower twins. Now we know why Christy Mathewson didn't care to join the outlaws Matty wants to remain a real Giant.

Many Novelties Will Be Introduced by the Time the Season Is in Full Swing—Revival of Jet as a Millinery Trimming One of the Features. NO SOONER has winter gowning reached its apex of achievement Near its apex, gowing reached its apex of achievement than the attention of every chronicle quer des modes that reliably riveted on the first faint shadows can by the coming spring styles. The charms of the existing fashions are lost in view of the attractions, to come, and the interest of the whole fashionable world is keenly alive to the interesting possibilities of what will be. Sometimes the changes effected in these "between seasons" are radical and extreme. Startling novelties are thrust on the public without so much as "by your leave" and unless the protest against them is vigorous and unanimous they are likely to stay, whether they are creations of beauty or of actual hideousness. Again there may be few positive differences between the summer style and the one for fall or between the fashion of midwinter and that of early spring. This last state of affairs is more or less the existing one at the present moment and especially in the case of millinery. Hat models continue to be shown that are extreme in every way. A The Japanese collar, lined either with white or with black silk, is a very becoming note in this afternoon frock of blue and white striped serge. The skirt has the new shirred fullness at the bottom, with openings of fairly good size for the feet. The trimmings are extremely high or the brims excessively narrow or the shape decidedly stiff and unbending. But there is no distinctive change of style yet to be seen in the spring models from the models of the last few months. Flowers on Spring Hats. To be sure, there are several new features and several other features which are merely developments of the present modes. For one thing, flowers are going to be used widely on the spring hats. At the beginning of this last winter there was an effort made on the part of some of the most exclusive milliners and designers to bring in this floral popularity, but the attempt fell rather flat and was subsequently dropped. With the passage of the bill placing a duty on certain kinds of feather fantasies, however, the ultimate vogue of the flower was made certain. Paris accepted the inevitable, or rather she is accepting it. She did not do it willingly at first. It is a little hard to charge the same exorbitant price for a fantastic flower that one can charge for a fantastic feather. The value of the first is much more easily seen and realized by even the most reckless and extravagant woman than is the worth of the second. Now, though, since the arrival of flowers has become an established fact, milliners are considering the varied kinds and combining them in different ways and with different materials in order to obtain the prettiest and most becoming effects. And flowers are becoming, too. They are becoming to almost any type of woman and to women of all ages. There is something in their simplicity which never offends. They do not rise to the heights achieved by feather fantasies, nor do they stretch out to widths reached by plumes and pompons. Panamales are so far few flower novelties which start in any way. They may be found in almost any part of the hat, or on the sides nesting against the hat, or at the back caught in between bows of ribbons and jet, or again standing up directly in the front at the base of some uprearing algrette. These flower novelties are expected to show off to tremendous advantage on the Panama hats, which are already coming into favor. Most of these Panamas are elaborate affairs and when trimmed with stunning ruches which Highly Contagious Paying Teller—The stenographer seems to have a bad cold. Receiving Teller—Yes. I suppose she has been flirting with the draft clerk again. Spreading Welsh Language Spread out At the annual meeting of the Welsh Language society, recently held in London, Prof. J. E. Lloyd reported that the last decade there had been an increase of between 40,000 and 50, 000 in the number of people who stand high on one side and fall low on the other they are really incompatible as accompaniments to outing suits or one piece gowns. Among the novelties in the flower line are the charming Dresden china effects, which are to be had in almost all of the natural shades. It is said that they are made from bread and then glazed with a result that they are a perfect imitation of the wonderful Dresden porcelain which is popular the world over. Horse hair braid also bids fair to be much worn, especially on toque and turban styles, and it will take the place of the velvet which has been so enormously used this last winter, but which, of course, goes out now shortly. A striking revival of jet is also taking place as a millinery trimming. This winter it has played an important part as a trimming for gowns and wraps of all descriptions, but now that it has invaded the realm of the hat it is assuming added duties in the sartorial line. Sometimes entire crowns are made of this jet with fascinating little ruffles of tulle wired stiffly at the edges banding the head closely. Besides these jet ornaments there are other novelties in the way of cut steel, and amber, tortoise, and ivory of different grades that take an important place in the trimming world. Ribbons Used in New Ways. Many of the hats still incline most decidedly to smallness, with the high side roll that was once worn by the Empres Eugenie and which gives an effect which women in general always seem to admire. High horned effects that do not sound especially attractive start in round shapes and extend upward in points and angles that are still further accented by the smart adornments that are recklessly placed on them. The use of ribbons continues popular and is branching out in many new forms—for instance, toques which are made up entirely of broad ribbons in the coarse weaves such as gresgrain molres—and these same ribbons are much beruled and extensively draped. Small turban hats are completely covered with narrow bands of ottoman ribbons. The simple sailor shapes are also covered in this way. Extravagant ribbon hats also are brought into service for the adornment of tricorne shapes. Any number of these loops and bows stiffly wired or allowed to droop prettily, according to individual taste, figure on simple afternoon hats for everyday wear. Ostrich novelties in many new arrangements have come to the front. Exquisite demi-plumes in the new sweet pea colorings are going to appear as chic ornaments for the small black hat. Also the much in vogue nattier blue plume will be much used on the flue and black straws. Ostrich fringes are decidedly passe now, but in their places have come pretty open borders of ostrich which are wired at both ends. Then, too, there are smart ornaments in quill form which are made in the same way. Novelties in Ready Made Hats. Speaking of quilts, small wings in tan shape and also in the Mercury form are shown and they make up into pretty trimmings for the three-cornered hats and as well for the horned turban which is posed on the point. Wings of two colors may be used set in a pattern of the whirling form while in marked contrast to those tiny wings are those which are large and spreading and may be worn with the larger and more picturesque hat which is making such a brave effort to creep into public favor. As for novelties in ready made hats which have so far been sent across the Atlantic the great majority of them are trimmed with flowers or with ribbons, with tulle or with jet. And one little item of interest is that most of the flowers, imported ones at any rate, are of the vivid colors. Large camellias in gorgeous reds or dazzling whites vie with brilliant geraniums or startling hued roses. The yellow zinnias are not unattractive, and already have achieved considerable vogus. The new straw, which is known as the "Belgian split," is peculiarly enough the identical straw that was used for the empire bonnets a century or more ago. These hats may be trimmed with any of the modish trimmings mentioned above. One particularly novel product of the Rue de la Paix was a high turban of this same straw with a single black sigrette of huge height rising up directly in the front and against it a piece of jet which was fully eight inches long and the shape of a shoe horn. Sinning Tea Through a Vell. Sipping veil It has come to life again. it is already popular and will continue to be so as the season advances. This snugness of adjustment makes the taking off of the veil a nuisance, and more and more women are being seen in the restaurants slipping their tea or coffee through the meshes of a "jungle veil," and assisted therein by a glass tubing through the same mesh. A novelty which probably will be much worn is the new storm veil, which though made of chiffon, has been chemically treated, and though it is deluged with rain, the water runs from it as from a duck's back. Turkish veils, which differ from their predecessors in that they cover the entire face, with the upper part so thin that it can hardly be discernible, are already in the shop windows.
