TH1RTY-FIRST YEAR. NO. 50. IN UNION THERE'S STRength THIRTEEN KILLED IN SANEST FOURTH Two Hundred and Forty three Hurt Celebrating Independence Day. PHILADELPHIA HEADS THE LIST Property Loss Suffered From Fireworks, So Far Reported, is Trivial Compared With $123,000 Last Year—Stringent Enforcement of Ordinance. Chicago, Ill.—Statistics compiled here show that the country enjoyed the quietest Fourth in its history. The figures are: Dead, 13; by fireworks, 6; by gunpowder, 4; by torpedoes, 2; by revolver, 1. Injured, 243; by fireworks, 105; by gunpowder, 30; by torpedoes, 5; by toy pistols, 58; by cannon, 41; by runways, 4. Accidents last year were 32 dead and 1,131 injured. The record this year, due to the increasing "sane Fourth" movements, is thus far less than half of the previous year, and shows but a small proportion of the accidents of a few years ago when the use of fireworks was practically unrestricted. The figures for this year, however, may be somewhat increased by more complete returns. The property loss so far reported was trivial as compared with $123,000 last year. The year loss suffered from fireworks ranged from $60,700 in 1202 to $724,000 in 1909. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. 170 Hurt in Philadelphia. There were fewer deaths in the celebrations this year than in any of the 16 years' that records of the toll have been kept, with the exception of 1899, when only three lives were lost. But in that year the injured was reported as 1,074, or three times that of today. Philadelphia's report of 170 injured was more than that of New York, which had the next largest number. The casualty list at Pittsburgh also was high reaching 27, but with no fatalities. So stringent was the enforcement in Chicago of the ordinance prohibiting the sale of firecrackers and fireworks that only one person was killed and three injured slightly in this city. The names of two boys who died from burns received in the explosion of fireworks they had dug from rubbish near an abandoned factory were added to the list, however. Girl Burns to Death. Curiosity led Vera Allen, eight years old, to the spot where she had seen boys place a torpedo on a car track. A street car came along and exploded the torpedo, a piece of it setting fire to the flimsy holiday dress she wore. When her mother had extinguished the flames the child was dead. One of the three injured was a woman, who was struck in the hip by a stray shot. HUERTA IS RE-ELECTED RETAINS HIS PLACE IN PALACE BY LIGHTEST VOTE EVER CAST IN MEXICO. Mexico City, Mex.—Gen. Victoriano Huerta was re-elected president of Mexico by a vote that is thought to have been practically unanimous. This does not mean that there was any great popular demand that the dictator retain his place in the palace, for the vote was the lightest ever cast, even under election conditions that generally prevail in Mexico. In the first place the geographical limits of the election were narrow, as is only the small territory remaining under the control of the dictator was the franchise extended to the people. Indifference was manifested everywhere, and practically no one in this city went to the polls. The bull fights drew their usual Sunday throngs and at night the cafes were crowded. The returns indicate the re-election of all the present members of the chamber of deputies and the senate. Gen. Blanquet appears to have been elected for vice president. The belief obtains in many quarters here that the election was intended merely as a vindication for Gen. Huerta, and that he has planned definitely to call another election in the immediate future, when Pedro Lascurain is to be elected, which will give Huerta his long, sought opportunity to leave the country. Lascurain, according to the report, is to name a Constitutionalist minister of foreign affairs. Then Lascau, rain will resign, leaving the Constitutionalist minister of foreign affairs to succeed to the presidency. Four Die When Bomb Explodes. New York City.—Three men and a woman were killed when a dynamite bomb, said to be the most powerful ever used in this city, exploded with tremendous force in an apartment tented by Industrial Workers of the World. The upper part of the six-story tenement house in which the bomb was being made, was wrecked. A score of persons were seriously injured and much property damage was done in a wide radius from the scene of explosion.

GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS RESIGNS AS MINISTER TO FOR-EIGN COUNTRY. Diplomat Had Declared That Present Regime in Albania is Impracticable and European Powers Should Intervene. Washington, D. C.—Formal announcement of the resignation of George Fred Williams as minister to Greece and Montenegro has just been made at the state department. President Wilson is expected to accept the resignation and close the brief and extraordinary career of Williams as a diplomat. Aroused over dispatches continually quoting the minister as bitterly criticizing conditions in the new kingdom of Albania and arranging the responsible European powers, the president caused his resignation to be asked for by cable. President Wilson has officially notified the principal European powers that the United States disclaims any responsibility for the statements regarding Albania attributed to Williams. Mr. Williams had declared that the present regime in Albania is impracticable, that Prince William of Weld is weak and that the European powers should intervene to prevent a religious war. GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS. Williams' case is said to be without a precedent in the history of the state department. Other ministers have gotten into trouble through too free criticisms of the conditions existing in the countries to which they have been accredited, but it is not recalled that an American diplomatic representative ever before has gone outside of his post to discuss the affairs of another country. In the present instance the comment was regarded by the state department as peculiarly untimely and ill advised because of the extreme jealousy with which the European powers have guarded the tangled Balkan problem from the injection of new elements. It is considered by them as one to be dealt with by European powers alone. It was recalled that even in the most desperate phase of the late Balkan war, when the allies were closing in on Constantinople and many of the diplomatic representatives in that capital were calling upon their governments for help, the six powers, parties to the Berlin conference, interposed an effective objection to the appearance of American warships in the Dardanelles. Four Are Slain With Ax. Chicago, Ill.—A family of four was wiped out by blows from an ax in the German settlement of Blue Island, a suburb. The victims were Jacob Neslesla, a street sweeper, 52; Mrs. Anna Neslesla, his wife, 65; Mrs. Martha Mansfield, 24, and the latter's two-year-old daughter. The stiffened bodies and the bloodstained ax alone remained to outline the story when the crime was discovered by neighbors. Whether the butchery was the work of a manian or of a person seeking revenge was not disclosed. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. LEAGUE SOUNDS NOTE OF WARNING PURPOSE OF THE MEETING. Only Through Organization Can Negroes Combat Forces Now Pressing Hard Against Them—Work of National Association For Advancement Warmly Commended in Resolution. Yonkers, N. Y.—The Westchester County Negro league recently held its annual convention at McCann's hall in this city under auspicious circumstances. Delegates were present from the following cities and towns in the county: Peekskill, Croton Point, Ossining, Tarrytown, White Plains, Mount Vernon, Port Chester, Rye and Yonkers. The personnel of the convention was made up of a representative class of the Negro citizens of these localities. The purpose of the meeting was stated by the president, Paul H. Bray of this city. In a brief address President Bray gave a resume of the work done by PAUL H. BRAK. the league during the six years of its existence and urged upon the delegates the importance of putting forth greater efforts in the future. There is greater need for unity of action among the Negroes today than ever before in the history of the race since the war, said Mr. Bray. Hostile forces are pressing us backward. We must check this, and there is only one way to do it, and that is through organization. Every loyal colored man in the county should be an active member of the Westchester Negro league, he continued. It is indeed very encouraging to note that we have enlisted in our cause before the country such enlistment and influential persons as Hon. Oswald Garrison Villard, publisher of the New York Evening Post; Hon. Thomas Ewing, Jr., who is the present United States commissioner of patents; Mrs. La Follette, wife of the Wisconsin senator; Senator Moses Clapp of Minnesota and Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington. Among the many matters that commanded the attention of the convention was a plan for the organization of a woman's auxiliary to the league, which was proposed and explained by Mr. Harvey of Mount Vernon. The members took up the plan with enthusiasm and unanimously adopted it. Mr. Stephen A. Bennett of Yonkers offered a resolution which cited the alarming and acute conditions confronting the Negro in the country. It emphasized the need for a united effort on the part of every Negro in Westchester county. The work being done by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People was specially commended. The officers are: Paul H. B. Bray, Yonkers; president; A. B. Young, Ossinville, vice president; Chris Pryor, White Plains, corresponding secretary; Regional Allen, Yonkers, recording secretary; A. A. Thornton, Yonkers, treasurer; Howard Van Norden, Port Chester, sergeant-at-arms. The selection of the county executive committee was deferred in order to give the president time to consult the wishes of the members in the locality from which the committeeemen are to be appointed. Brief and interesting speeches for the good of the league were made by Thomas S. Lane, the only Negro member of the Republican city committee of Yonkers; Sterling Lambert, Jordan Crudup of Yonkers, Samuel B. Halstead of Peekskill, William Nelson and Mr. Moten of Tarrytown, J. W. Owens of White Plains and Howard Van Norden of Port Chester. President Bray is well and favorably known throughout the county. He is an active member of several fraternal organizations. He has served as special deputy grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of the state. At the present time h. represents Lincoln lodge No. 17 of this city. Mr. Bray is also the exalted ruler of Westchester lodge, Order of Elks, Tarrytown, N. Y. Some Facts About the Origin of a Noted School in Ohio. One of the leading magazines of the country, printed in Boston, speaking of Wilberforce university says: "The auditor of the state of Ohio announces that a monthly article will be issued describing the activities of the various departments and institutions of Ohio. The one for July is devoted to Wilberforce university and deals with the progress that has been made in Ohio in the education of the colored race. "The first more to furnish a seminary of learning for the colored race in Ohio originated with Daniel A. Payne, a self educated Negro of Charleston, S. C. As a result of his efforts Union seminary, near Columbus, was organized in 1844. That Payne was one of the great benefactors of his race and had rare foresight is shown by the fact that the school was started on the manual training plan. "Union seminary by reason of location and other circumstances made slow growth, but it was the pioneer and contributed largely to the founding of Wilberforce university and was finally, in 1863, consolidated with the latter institution. While there are numerous small colleges, there are only about a half dozen great universities in America for the higher education of the Negro race-Atlanta university; Fisk, at Nashville; Howard, at Washington; Shaw, at Raleigh; Leland, at New Orleans, and Wilberforce, at Xenia—and Wilberforce stands at the head of the list." INFLUENCE OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION WIDELY FELT Militant Organization Continues Campaign Against Unjust Legislation. Louisville, Ky.—The colored people of this city are raised over the segregation ordinance passed and are taking steps to protect their interests. Mr. Chapin Brinsmade, the attorney for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, has been here giving the matter the closest study. On July 5 the local branch of the national association held a great meeting of protest, at which Dr. J. E. Spingarm, chairman of the board of directors of the National association, and Professor William Pickens of Talladega college were the chief speakers. This is the association which investigated segregation in government departments at Washington, and largely through its efforts that undemocratic movement was checked. In Baltimore, through its local branch, it has twice won segregation cases, the last time before the supreme court of the state. It is now preparing to carry a case brought under the new ordinance in Baltimore to the supreme court of the United States. In Kansas City, where the homes of the colored people were dynamited in order to make them move from a desirable neighborhood, which they owned and had developed and improved, they were unable to obtain redress from city or state authorities until the National association intervened. The association stands for equality of opportunity, equality in the courts, the civil and political rights of the colored man. Its membership includes white and colored. It is not sectional, having branches as far south as Alabama and Texas and numbering among its members representative southern white people. Its board of directors includes some of the most representative people of both races—Miss Jane Addams, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, Miss Mary White Ovington, Miss Florence Kelley, Dr. John Haynes Holmes, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, Dr. J. E. Spingarn and many others. Dr. Spingarn was for ten years professor of comparative literature in Columbia university. He is internationally known as a scholar, author and critic. His book of verse, "The New Hesperides," has received high praise, numbering among its admirers the late John Hay, who wrote of it in terms of flattering appreciation. Professor William Pickens is known as a teacher and lecturer. He is an orator of remarkable eloquence. He graduated from Yale with high honors, having been elected commencement speaker. FOR NATIONAL PROTECTION. Independent Political League Prepares For Seventh Annual Convention. The seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Political league, to be held in August, will be in the nature of a national gathering of those colored Americans who believe that, in view of the great discrimination, proscription and persecution of colored persons as such, they should have a national organization of self defense and self protection, as every other racial class suffering from prejudice has. All colored citizens who believe that in every state there should be such a self protection organization and that these should be connected into a national whole are urged to attend and also to communicate their views on the subject at once to the corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, at 49 Cornhill, Boston. The league hopes for a large attendance from all parts of the country, every church and every society being empowered to send delegates on the basis of a many agitation and use of the ballot. The place of meeting will be announced later. --- ABLE FINANCIER AND CHURCHMAN BELIEVES IN HIS PEOPLE. Scholarly. Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church Pays Fine Tribute to Business Tact of Bishop Payne. Educational Work of the Denomination Covers Wide Field. Washington.—The great educational work that is being done by the African Methodist Episcopal church is largely stimulated by one of its most prominent laymen, who did a remarkable work for the denomination as secretary of education. In this position Dr. John R. Hawkins became one of the leading educators of the race. Having demonstrated his ability as a financier worthy of any office that his great denomination could bestow upon him, he was elected at the last general conference of this body as financial secretary and was the first layman to be honored in this manner by this connection. Dr. Hawkins is always the principal speaker at the educational congresses of the various conferences of the church, and in speaking recently of the remarkable progress the race is making along educational lines he said: "But the most striking feature of this subject is that which relates to the spirit of 'self help' manifested by the colored people toward establishing and maintaining schools for themselves, schools for our youths, with all colored teachers, colored presidents, colored trustees and supported by con- DR. JOHN R. HAWKINS. tributions principally from colored people. First among these is the African Methodist Episcopal church, which has set the pace for all other denominations in this field of work. "It was a bold undertaking on the part of Bishop Payne when he signed a contract to pay $10,000 without knowing where he could get the first ten dollar bill. But he knew that behind him was a great church with a following of loyal people with great hopes and great possibilities. That obligation was met, and since then his noble man has gone on from one field to another laughing at opposition, removing obstacles, overcoming difficulties and establishing and maintaining schools and colleges. "Today the church stands before the world with twenty-four schools, 5,575 students, 224 teachers and school property valued at $1,650,000. To maintain these schools it is necessary to provide for current expenses of at least $300,000, which is done by voluntary contributions from the members and friends of the church from year to year. "I do it not boastingly when I tell to the world the story of our rise and progress, either as a race or as one special church organization of a certain race. A better idea of what the A. M. E. church is doing as an organization may be had when I tell you that one of the greatest demonstrations of our financial worth is shown in the business of the financial department of the A. M. E. church. There has been reported to this office alone during the fiscal year for which I have just given an account $221,058.75, which represents an increase over last year of $13,315.84. "This item does not include any money reported at our annual conferences or for any purpose whatever except that classed as 'dollar money.' If we add to our 'dollar money' collections all the funds raised and reported at our annual conferences we will show a table of business for one year at least $1,500,000. "I am sure this is a splendid showing for one church organization of a baby race. This is but a part of the Negro's contribution to the uplift of humanity, for in these fifty years the colored people have, with courage and faith in God and in themselves, come bravely to the altar of duty and laid upon it their contributions with unmeasured cheerfulness." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Dr. Edwin Carman of Freeport. L.I., In whose office Mrs. William D. Bailey, the pretty wife of a wealthy hat manufacturer, was mysteriously slain by a bullet fired through the window. MRS. CARMAN PUT IN JAIL BY AUTHORITIES WIFE OF DOCTOR IN WHOSE OFFICE WOMAN WAS SLAIN CHARGED WITH MURDER. Accused Spouse of Physician Pleads Not Guilty and Throws Herself on Husband's Breast, the Latter Embracing Her. Freeport, N. Y.—Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman was arrested in her home on Merrick road on the charge of murdering Mrs. Lulu D. Bailey of Hempstead on the night of June 30. She was taken to Mineola jail and held without bail for an examination in the little courtroom in Freeport on Monday morning. She was arrested in the room in which Mrs. Bailey died—the private office of her husband, Dr. Edwin Carman, the man of whom she was insanely jealous and whose hand had left the shoulder of Mrs. Bailey but a moment before the shot which Mrs. Carman is accused of firing ended the life of Mrs. Bailey. Mrs. Carman collapsed. She made no outcry, caused no furre. She collapsed like a woman stricken. The officials present declare that there was not a man present who did not weep with Mrs. Carman. Justice of the Peace Norton, coroner ex-officio, was completely unnerved. The Carmans had been his friends for years. “This is a painful duty,” said the coroner, tears, streaming down his face, “but I have to do it. You know I have to do it.” "We know," replied Mrs. Carman simply. The coroner with trembling hands drew from his pocket commitment papers he had prepared. He placed them on the doctor's desk and, in the form provided by law, informed Mrs. Carman that she was accused of murder. "Do you plead guilty or not guilty?" he asked. "I plead not guilty," replied Mrs. Carman in a low voice. As the woman spoke she looked at her husband. He stretched out his arms and she threw herself on his breast, sobbing. He embraced her and they stood thus a moment. Then in the sheriff's car Mrs. Carman was taken to Mineola and to jail. What doubt there there existed heretofore that Mrs. Carman were arrested and formally charged with the murder of Mrs. Bailey, whose name has been jugged like a ball by folks in Freeport, was dispelled utterly at the final session of the inquest Wednesday morning. A motive was supplied by Gaston Boissonnault, who sold to Mrs. Carman the dictagraph with which she spied upon her husband as he talked with his women patients. Something more conclusive was needed—something which would link a woman, a woman who might with reason be assumed to be Florence Carman—with the murder was necessary. Elwood D. Bardes, peddler of insurance policies, supplied the necessary link in the chain. In 20 minutes spent on the stand in the coroner's court he shattered all doubt. He came to testify, he said, because his friends and employers told him that it was his duty. He heard the shot. He looked and saw a woman—a hatless woman in a dark skirt and light waist—walking away from the window. That was enough. Justice of the Peace Norton, sitting as coroner, said to District Attorney Smith that no more witnesses would be called and asked for a verdict. Militants Again Active London, England.—Militant furies celebrated the return of Mrs. Emmeine Pankhurst to active command of the forces in an attempt to destroy the birthplace of Robert Burns, the Scotch poet. In Scotland the militants tore down decorations that had been erected in honor of the king and queen. The disorders marked the termination of a respite from outrages that had lasted ever since Mrs. Pankhurst disappeared from the center of activities. Mrs. Pankhurst, who reoccupied headquarters, was arrested. THE BEGINNING OF THE CONFEDERATION FACES CHARGE OF LARGE THEFT Former Cashier of Steamship Company Accused of Forgery and Grand Larceny. HAS BEEN TWICE INDICTED Auditors' Report Shows, It Is Said, That Accounts of Two Steamship Were Handled in Such Way as to Permit Peculation of About $93,000. Buffalo, N. Y.—Sensational charges have been made against Louis H. Wood, former cashier of the Northern Steamship Co., alleging peculations which are said to amount to close to $100,000. Wood has been twice indicted and will be brought to trial soon. Charges Forgery and Larceny. One of the indictments against Wood charges forgery, third degree, and the other charges grand larceny, first degree. The larceny indictment accuses the defendant of having put in an extra voucher for $1,200. The forgery charge concerns the alleged manipulation of a ticket account. The sum of about $3,000 is involved in this matter. While the indictments cover only two alleged falsifications, the juggling of vouchers and book accounts, it is charged, covered a period of eight years, 1904 to 1912. Since Wood left the employ of the company auditors of the company and representatives of bonding companies have been engaged in checking up his books and accounts. The result of their examination, it is said, showed that the accounts of the two steamships of the line were handled in such a way that Wood was able to get away with about $93,000. Wood, according to statements made, was able to appropriate about $500 on a single trip of the steachers. It is reported that efforts were made to obtain restitution of the alleged stolen funds and that the steamship company was able to recover about one-fifth of the amount said to have been taken, or properly amounting to about $18,000. The company which was on Wood's $10,000 bond has paid its claim in full, it is said, bringing the amount recovered to about $28,000. IS LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP FREDDIE WELSH OUTBOXES RITCHIE, AMERICAN FIGHTER, AND GRABS WORLD'S TITLE. London, England.—The union jack waves triumphantly from Westminster to Whitechapel. Freddie Welsh is lightweight champion boxer of the world. The Pontypridd veteran, after years of apparently useless waiting, got the American champion, Wille Ritchie, into the ring with him and with the clever use of a popping left hand brought back the title that Burge lost to Lavigne in 1896. Before a crowd of nearly 20,000 the little Welman, with wonderful science and beautiful headwork, boxed his way into a place in the world's ring affairs. The Yankee man proved strong, but he was no match in skill with the high powered and fifty mitt executive, Freddie Welsh. And skill won. In the first dozen of the 20 rounds Welsh won the fight and the belt. In the closing laps of the encounter Ritchie's endurance began to assert itself and Welgrew slower, but his lead held to the end. Ritchie, try as he would—and he fought like 10 tigers as the contest drew on—could not overcome it. For Welsh was defensively as great a master as he was on the aggressive side. ADMITS SEEING CRIME WOMAN SAYS SHE WITNESSED WEALTHY QUARRYMAN SHOOT DOWN ANOTHER. Norristown, Pa. — Mrs. Warren Kleiness, wife of a Conshocken resident, after several hours of "third degree" grilling, broke down and confessed that she saw William McAvoy, a wealthy quarryman, shoot down Robert McCarrion in her home. McAvoy is in jail on a charge of murder. The woman was the only witness to the tragedy, and to shield McAvoy, who has been paying attention to her for some months past, has steadfastly held that McCarrion is the father of eight children. From the woman's confession the shooting followed a quarrel between the two men for her affections. Seek Hero Medal for Ohioan. Sandusky, O. — Friends Tuesday instituted at Put-in-Bay a movement to get a Carnegie medal and reward for Walter Ladd of Put-in-Bay, who risked his life while fire was destroying the Fox dock at Put-in-Bay early Sunday. Ladd cut a scow loaded with gasoline tanks from its moorings at the burning docks and rowed to a point of safety off Middle Bass island. Later it exploded and sank. Ladd was painfully burned about the face neck and arms. One Year.....$1.50.

Cleveland SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1914. Our people in Louisville, Ky., have already raised about $500 to start the legal fight on segregation and will soon double that amount, several times. "That is the way to do it." GOOD! We doft our hats to Prof, Joel E. Spingarn, on his second invasion of the South, in recent months, too, in the interest of our people. The N. A. A. C. P., which he represented on each trip, is entitled to increased confidence and support on the part of our people, for the very practical fight on segregation it is making. Despite the fact that our men are now notoriously discriminated against in the Army and Navy, Congressman Park of Georgia, has introduced a bill making it unlawful to appoint them as commissioned and non-commissioned officers in the Army or Navy. There is absolutely no limit to the racial animosity of the average Southern member of Congress, these days. The ascendancy of democracy, in the election of a democratic President and congress, has certainly "turned the anti mals loose". The slump in the Progressive and Democratic vote continues out west. In 1912 Roosevelt carried Minnesota by 19,430, his vote being 125,856 against 106,426 for Wilson and 66,334 for Taft. At the recent primaries the votes cast were: Republican, 189,097, Democratic, 42,775, Progressives, 2,874. The Progressive party of North Dakota has fallen short of the number of votes required to qualify candidates for a place on the general election ballot. Under the law party candidates must have 25 per cent. of the total votes cast for its gubernatorial candidate in the last previous election. The Progressives registered only 2,430 votes in the State, thus eliminating the party from the primary fight. In 1912 Roosevelt polled 25,726 votes, against 23,006 for Taft. Wonders never cease: Now we have the spectacle of the state superintendent of education of Kentucky charging the Afro-American president of Ky. - Normal and Industrial Institute at Frankfort, Ky., with being a "democratic" politician as well as being incompetent. Listen to this from State Superintendent Hamlette and feel encouraged: "This school should be under a state-wide trustee board, as the white schools of similar nature. I want to see the Kentucky Normal Institute run upon as high a basis as the white schools, and there is no reason why it cannot be. The State is paying for it. I will go to the very inch of the law to see that this school is run upon a high basis, and that grafting and immorality will not be tolerated in its walls." Thank the Lord, for Hamlette, if all is as it seems to be. More power to him, and may his tribe increase, South and North, among both races. AS TO THE RIGHT OF INHERIT ANCE. The recent decision handed down by the U. S. Supreme Court, denying the contention that the right of inheritance is a natural right is of widespread interest to our people not only because the decision came through a cases involving former slaves, but particularly because the decision upholds the argument of B. F. Booth, a well-known Afro-American lawyer of the South, who won against an array of white lawyers of high standing. The case has been widely quoted in the press, and garbled reports have created the wrong impression in many quarters. The decision does not prohibit slave husbands nor slave wives from directly inheriting one from the other, nor does it conflict with the orderly inheritance of sons and daughters from their parents, whether once slaves or not. What the decision holds is that the right to hold and transmit property, since it is a bestowed and not a natural right, is to be left to the laws and statutes of the several states, and does not come under the operation of the Federal Constitution. PROCESSIVES AT REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES. There is great interest in the declaration of Secretary of State Graves that under the law Progressives cannot vote at the Republican primaries. This ruling is under an old law passed to prevent fraud at county and district primaries, but there are conten- tions that the law has been superseded by that passed last February (1914), covering State-wide primaries, and that under the latter law those who declare themselves to be Republicans will be entitled to vote at the forthcoming Republican primaries. But there is another view which practically negates the claim that because a Republican voted for Col. Roosevelt in 1912 he necessarily is prevented from voting at the Republican primaries next month. The contention referred to is that any man who voted for a majority of candidates on the Republican ticket in 1912 is entitled to vote at the Republican primaries. This is the position taken by a number of experts over the State, and it is probably the one which will be accepted generally. Anyhow, it is hardly likely that there will be many Republican judges of elections at the polling booths who will challenge any former Roosevelt man or even any former out-and-out Progressive who might ask for a Republican ballot at the primary. There is good legal authority for taking the position that the statute quoted by Secretary of State Graves in support of his position is unconstitutional, in that it unreasonably restricts citizens in the expression of their political opinions. Even if the law is not unconstitutional, it is—in the general estimation—a piece of tom-foolery. AS TO SENATOR FORAKER'S CANDIDACY. The following communication from a loyal and active member of the race in Washington, D. C., is self-explanatory, and since we endorse every line of it, can be considered as a signed editorial: Washington, D. C., July 6, 1914. Friend Smith:—In a talk I had with U. S. Senator Moses W. Clapp of Minnesota, July 3. I asked him what he thought of Senator Foraker's chances in Ohio. He said that he did not know the Ohio situation, but that he did know that every man of color in Ohio should stand by Mr. Foraker. He said also that men showed base ingratiude by not standing by their friends, matters not what party they were in. There is not a better friend of our people in Ohio than Senator Foraker, and I hope that conscience will not have to visit, in the still hour of night, any Colored man and tap him on the forehead and say, wake up! I want to charge you with ingratiude. Friend Smith, our political status is a thing that ought to demand the serious attention and wise thought of every man who has his own and the welfare of his people at heart. Nothing commands the attention of the other race so much as political loyalty to friends. Will we write ourselves down in history as ingrates, or will we not? When men, who have stood by us in time of need and peril, are aspirants for office, will they have to seek our support or shall we like them, offer it with pleasure? When Senator Foraker announced himself a candidate for the Senate what a pleasure it would have been to him, and what an object-less to others, if every Colored voter in Ohio should have sent him word that their votes were his. It is only by this method that we can expect to have a political status or strong friends. Will we do it or will we have cast in our faces—you are unworthy, you are an ingrate. Tell the Colored men of Ohio that NOW is the time to, in part, repay Senator Foraker for his noble efforts in our behalf. Let no man of the race have for his companion a disturbed conscience. It is glorious to be known as a man who is reliable, who is grateful. My prayers are for the success of Senator Foraker; my pity for a Colored man who is so base as to cut him. For the benefit of Friend Ferguson, and all other members of the race, in and out of the state of Ohio, The Gazette desires to say that our voters, "Buckeyes", are a unit for the Senator and will work and vote for him just so surely as they live to see August 11 and election day in November. Of that there is absolutely no question. Any man who undertakes to persuade or prevent them from so doing, will have a fight on his hands "just as surely as the Lord made little apples". We, all, know our duty in this matter and propose to do it, and no power short of Divine Power will be able to stop us. Senator Foraker is fully appreciated, as a thoroughly good, true and aggressive friend, such as none other in his race, in every Afro-American home in and out of the state of Ohio, in this country, and he knows it. There will be no "conscience pricking" after the primaries, or election day, either, such as our good friend, Mr. Ferguson, refers to in his communication. Ohio Afro-American voters regard it not only a duty, to work and vote for our good and great Senator, but it is a positive pleasure to do so. More than this, we are doing our "level best" to get him the vote of every white citizen we can. We know that there is not a woman of the race in the state that would let a member of the race, whether husband, brother or son, remain in the house, in peace, who would dare to express a sentiment unfavorable to Joseph Benson Foraker, the next "United States Senator from Ohio."

Spingarn in The South- A Great Indignation Meeting— Separation Robs the Race of Freedom, etc. Louisville, Ky.—A resolution pledging support to a legal fight against the segregation ordinance recently passed by the City Council, was unanimously adopted Sunday afternoon following an address by Prof. J. E. Spingarn of New York, at an indignation meeting of the City Council. A. M. E. church, 912 West Chestnut St. Prof. Spingarn represented the N. A. A. C. P., which has offered to direct the fight on behalf of our people here. The other speaker of the afternoon was Prof. William Pickens, president of Talladega College. The meeting was presided over by Rev. C. H. Parish. It is estimated that more than wounded soldiers are in the audience. Prof. Spingarn declared, during the course of his remarks, that Afro-Americans of Louisville should make the fight against the segregation ordinance a stepping stone in the battle for the uplift of the race. "In the name of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, and in the name of all right-thinking people, I come here to protest against the wrong being done by the city of Louisville," said Prof. Spingarn. "I also protest against the wrongs being done 10,000,000 Negroes in this country. I come to let you know that there are men who do not approve of such injustice. There is no such thing as a 'Negro problem.' It is an Ameri can problem, for, while injustice exists, the whole country is in danger PROFESSOR J. E. SPINGARN. The time has come when the black people must consider their rights. The segregation ordinance takes away the right to compete equally with white people. We have fought many similar battles in other cities, and we are going to begin in Louisville a fight which we intend to win. This ordinance sweeps away the rights conferred upon you by the Constitution. The only way to get those rights back is to fight for them. We white men who love justice will fall in behind, but you must understand that ordinance means the founding of a ghetto in Louisville such as existed in Europe for hundreds of years. The men who say this segregation ordinance is just practical, say to you: 'Go out and build a city of your own.' The white men alone didn't make Louisville, but the black helped. For such an injustice to exist will hurt more than vice and crime. The slums where the Negroes are to be kept will not be taken care of as the rest of the city, and must be taken care of as a bad place. The time to begin the fight is now and the Negro man and woman who does not contribute to this legal fight is a traitor." The history of the progress made by the race from the time of slavery until the present day was traced by Prof. Pickens. He declared the segregation ordinance would have the worst possible influence upon Louisville Afre-Americans and that the white citizens also would be injured. ALL BECAUSE SHE WAS COLORED The joke is distinctly on the Richmond (Va.) News-Leader. It itself opposed to suffrage extension, it recently offered ten dollars for the best argument against the enfranchisement of women. No less than 625 answers being received, the "contest editor" certified that "no more interest reading these answers," and that no decision was ever so difficult for him. Finally, the "very excellent answer" of a Mrs. Goode was chosen. She was asked to take part in other contests, and was requested to do the "contest editor" the favor of sending a photograph of herself for reproduction as the prize-winner. The photograph came, but it was of a comely Colored woman. The chivalry of the press upon its columns so great as to make it impossible to make room for Mrs. Goode's picture. Our sympathy goes out to the News-Leader. We presume it is being accused of fostering social equality by not having limited its contest to white women only. Moreover, the godly are indignant with it for permitting a Colored woman to forcibly enter 624 women and thus cast doubts upon the assertion that the Negro is a hopelessly inferior being, mentally as well as racially; while the ungodly Negro publications are rejoicing loudly at what they term "another Southern disaster."

Denounce the Alleged "Mt. Pleasant Home" As Segregation, As Undemocratic, Un-Christian, An Entering Wedge of Jim-Crowism, As Retrogression and a Wide Step Backward. Mr. President and Brethren of the Colored Ministers' Alliance: Colored ministers amuse: We, your committee, appointed Jan. 20th, will investigate the appointed organization of a Home EXCLUSIVELY FOR LCOLORED children, beg leave to submit the following report: 1. We find that the Home on E. 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 institu- tion is private, or, at the most, quasi-military. We find that a public home for Colored children, exclusively, has been projected, and a tentative organiza- tion has been actually formed, with officers elected, a membership fee decided upon, and membership blanks printed. 3. We also find that this proposed institution has the endorsement of Dr. Smith and Mr. Inatex Eaton of the Cleveland Junior Humane Society, and T. C. Wellsted, assistant secretary of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. We, our committee, do hereby enter our most earnest and vigorous protest against the establishment of such an institution, for the following reasons, to wit: 1st—There is absolutely no necessity for such an institution. The city, the county and the state have a provision for all of its dependent children, without regard to race, color, or previous conditions. 2nd—The multiplicity of such institutions simply increases the public burden and must, ultimately, lead to the increase of taxation, now already heavy. 3rd—The initiation of such an institution will inevitably lead to the displeasing 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 unmistakably retrogression, a wide step backward toward slavery and proscription, and a practical annihilation of the civil order, and obtaining at the cost of much sacrifice, privation and bloodshed. 5. We are an English speaking people, thoroughly American, loyal to every interest of our government, and firmly believe in that perfectly democratic principle of loyalty concurred by Dr. Lyman Abbott, and our own Dr. Washington Gladden—"The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." Respectfully submitted, ELAM A. WHITE, H. C. BAILEY, CHAS. BUNDY, G. V. CLARK. The above report was unanimously adopted by the Ministers' Alliance, Tuesday, Jan. 27, 1914. HOMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. As a result of Judge Addams' and Sheriff Smith's urging, the county commissioners are planning a large detention home for boys and girls, the boys detention home on the west side and the one for the girls on this side of the city, being inadequate to meet the demand. An agreement with the Salvation Army Rescue Home and The House of Good Shepherd, in addition to the detention home at 2393 E. 43d St. are not sufficient to provide places for girls. Pending arrangements for a permanent and large detention home for both boys and girls, Judge Addams has asked the commissioners to rent the premises adjoining the present detention home for girls in E. 43d St., and a house on the West Side to supplement the present boys' detention home which occupies the two upper floors of the Detroit-West 29th St., police station. Supplementing the foregoing are the home for boys at Hudson, and the girls at Warrensville, opened at Warensville, under the city department of public welfare, and immediately under the supervision of Miss Vera Schafer, 10214 Hampden Ave. N. E. In the face of the foregoing, will some one find the shadow of a good excuse for the existence of that "jim-crow" Mt. Pleasant children's home? OPPOSED TO "JIM-CROW" HOME. At a recent meeting of the City Federation of Women's clubs, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered printed in The Gazette: We, the City Federation of Women's clubs, do earnestly enter our protest against establishing the "Mt. Pleasant Home for Colored Children," there being no necessity for such a home, since our children are being better in local institutions for all. We shall fight such an effort, and see every influence to wipe out the objectionable "Home" and any other, promoting discrimination and segregation. We, the women of the Federation, many of us belonging to the Auxiliary to the Juvenile Court and Human society, organized to assist in the work of placing and relieving dependent children, know the abundance of work done by our people to help the above named organizations, and, therefore, feel that such a step as organizing such a "home" is entirely unnecessary, non-progressive and does not require our force, thereby enter a vigorous place, placing ourselves squarely on record as opposing such a harmful movement, and as determined to use every influence to wipe it out. The statement being made, to the effect that the alleged "Children's Home" in Mt. Pleasant, has been promised $1,000 in event of its existing one, only aggravates the need for it. If true, but also the determination of a few prejudiced persons in this community to establish and maintain, if possible, this segregation attempt and consequent color-line.

WHEN HEROISM WAS WASTED Small Boys Sadly Disappointed in the Nature of the “Enemy” They Went Forth to Fight. A small Irvington boy discovered one evening a light flashing fitfully from the window of his neighbor's chicken house, The neighbor ‘was away from home, so it could not be a legitimate invader of the hennery. The small boy felt the thrill of the situation and set his wits to work. It chanced that the air rifle craze had struck that locality with the result that there was an abundance of mi- Utia material, end in 15 minutes the youthful general had organized an air rifle brigade. Guards, paired off to bolster up each other's courage, were set all around the place in groups of two with strict instructions to shoot to kill” if the robber tried to escape. ‘Then a bunch of picked warriors, their deadly weapcns ready for in: stant use, sneaked under cover of a feuce nearer to the danger zone to learn whether anything could be heard, All was quiet. In fact the light had disappeared from the win- dow. Marveling much, the scouting party withdrew to their former sta- tion for a conference, when lo! the light shone forth again. Here was an element of mystery that certainly added spice to the adventure, but it was athe Swregesnittan, ‘Then some dhe more observant than the rest discovered that the ghastly filumination was a reflection from an are light at the street corner halt a square away—Indianapolls News, Tie Pegetentn wah it is somewhat cruelly said that a number of prominent men, civil and military, who have passed away in Washington recently, ate themselves into untimely graves, Of course this might well be true of the civil persons, but what are we to think of our stalwart army and navy officers succumbing to soups and salads, riddled by rib roasts and rag- outs and driven down and out by souffles and sirloins! In these piping times of peace when the dove twitters on the epauletted shoulder, will the insidious enemy rout an ornamental soldiery with pot- age and with pudding? Where are the army regulations? Where are the chades of the ragged continentals starving at Valley Forge? Where are the abstemious habite of the warriors of old? ‘Where are a lot of things that have been mislaid?

A first payment of $500 Would be the opening wedge toward getting’ the farm, leaving $500 for pur. chasing farming implements or other articles which may be needed. The balance due on the farm can be paid off in sma) weekly installments from the money derived trom the sale of crops and poultry, butter, exes and milk.
