BRITISH REPLY TO U.S. MADE PUBLIC Preliminary Note Indicates England Must Protect Herself Against Contraband. FRIENDSHIP FOR AMERICA IS DECLARED Sir Edward Grey Points Out Difficulties Under Which His Country is Working to Keep War Materials From Reaching Enemy. Washington, D. C. — That Great Britain is determined to stand her ground in the matter of seizing and searching vessels engaged in neutral commerce is shown by the preliminary British note in reply to that sent the British government by the United States Dec. 28. Points Out Difficulties. In its text the preliminary note, just issued here for publication, by agreement with the British government, points out the difficulties under which Great Britain is working in its endeavor to keep out of the hands of its enemy countries the materials necessary to the prosecution of war. It says in effect that the most careful vigilance is its only hope of preventing the reshimpment of contraband materials from a neutral to an enemy country, even when those shipments, when they leave the United States, appear bomb fide. Sir Edward Grey; British secretary of state for foreign affairs, who signs the note, suggests that Great Britain and the United States arrive at a working agreement whereby Great Britain would be empowered to take into port for examination any ship whose cargo she had reason to suspect contained contraband materials really intended for consumption of England's enemies. Great Britain would then make full separation and explanation far any mistakes her sea patrols might make. Protests Urmite Friendship. Emission is laid on the statement that the note is submitted in a spirit of the utmost friendliness, and Sir Edward protests that no ship has been searched or cargo held with any other idea than that of protecting the British interests in the peculiar form in which they exist under a state of war. In reply to the statement that American commerce has suffered heavily because of Great Britain's method of policing the seas since the outbreak of the war Sir Edward asks whether it is not possible that the decreased purchasing powers of the nations engaged has not had more to do with the decrease of business than the mere halting of a comparatively small number of the vessels sailing from American ports. Continuing, he takes the export figures of the port of New York for the time under discussion and from them shows a marked increase in shipment of some of the materials most important for the manufacture of munitions of war. Most of these shipments have been addressed to neutral countries, and Sir Edward, though he says Great Britain has no reason to complain of the conduct of those neutrals, intimates that the figures indicate a condition which Great Britain cannot afford to overlook. Noted Humorist Diaz St. Paul, Minn.—Marshell P. Wilder, 56, entertainer and humorist, died here after an illness of two days. Heart disease and an attack of pneumonia were the cause of his death. The body was sent to New York city. Wilder was born in Geneva, N. Y., and commenced his life's work as a professional entertainer in 1830. He made 15 professional trips to London. In 1904-5 he made his first tour around the world. He was married in 1903 to Sophia Cornell Hanks, who died a year ago. THE GAZETTE SAYS'PINOTROUBLE PETTYDISTURBANCE Secretary of War Garrison Asserts Scope of Revolt Was Exaggerated. FAVORS BILL FOR LEGISLATURE IN ISLANDS Declares That for the United States to Withdraw From Eastern Possessions Now Would Be Betrayal of Young Filipinos. Washington, D. C. - A "potty disturbance" in the Philippine islands has been "exaggerated." Secretary of War Garrison told the committee on the Philippine coast he made this remark in the course of the proposed measure creating two Filipino legislative houses, all members of which will be elected by the people with the exception of those from the non-Christian districts. This legislation, he said, he approved. Of the recent disorders, he said: Citigas Taft's Statement "It is particularly interesting, in view of the recent exaggerated accounts of a petty disturbance in the islands, to read what Mr. Taft said concerning such occurrences in his time: "The attitude of the American press and of the American merchant in his hostility to the Filipino, and in the consequent hostility to the civil government, was led into the error at one time of emphasizing in every possible way, by letters and representations of all sorts; that the condition of the country as to tranquility was so bad that the whole of the islands was still in a state of war. Every small ladrone fight, every discomfiture which the constabulary suffered, was exaggerated and made the basis for inference that the conditions in the country were, retrograding rather than improving. Such incidents were seized upon and made as much of as headlines and general statements could make them." For the United States to withdraw from the islands now would be a betrayal of the young Filipinos, in whom the American government has aroused high hopes, Secretary Garrison asserted, without corresponding advantage to anyone. The proposed bill, he said, is logically the next and proper step in the experiment of allowing the Filipinos graduate to go to larger and larger measures of education. He said the American people are densely ignorant on the Filipino problem. "If they were well informed it would require great effort to attempt to divert them from its proper settlement by patry lies and shameful misrepresentation," he added. "If the people really know the provisions of the bill they would discard with scorn those newspapers which form it the 'Philippine independence bill' and dismiss further consideration of it by the statement that it is premature to give independence to the Philippines." Tell What Bill You Will Be Proud. The present bill, Secretary Garrison said, would produce the following results: A legislature elected by the people, composed of two houses, the lower one composed of the legislature, and the upper each from a separate district, and nine appointed by the governor general representing the territory of non-Christian societies in the legislature; and the upper or house, or senate, of 24 members, all of whom save two are elected from 12 districts, the two being for the non-Christian societies and for the lower one to be appointed by the governor general. The governor general, the justices of the supreme court, and an amendment which he has favored, would be audited and the director of civil service, to be appointed by the president of the United States. A legislative power be vested in the legislature, in certain matters, and the governor general would have a veto power. If a bill were passed over his office, the governor general would have the power to permit or forbid the same to become law, as he saw fit. Trade relations between the United States and the Philippines would have the final decision of our congress. Certain matters, such as legislation affecting lands, mining rights, forests, etc., are subject to similar supervision; by the pres- The executive heads of the departments, analogous to our cohort, would be involved in the development and confirmed by the Philippine senate. A bill of rights and certain other conditions would be required to the best models of our own institutions are inserted in the bill with a view of keeping legislation and executive action timely and accurately approved and esculpted bounds. Pastor Is Unfrocked. Kenosha, Wis.—Charged with leading a double life, James Morrison Darnell, University of Chicago graduate, former pastor of the Church of the Unity of Hinsdale, Ill., and of the Church of Good Tidings in Brooklyn, was unrocked as pastor of the Henry M. Simmons Memorial Unitarian church by the trustees here. This action followed charges that Darnell was maintaining wives in Kenosha and Chicago. Disbands Militia of South Carolina. Columbia, S.

GREAT LEADER AND ORGANIZER Steps In the Career of a Noted Woman Whose Activities For the Advancement of the Race Extend In Many Directions—Founder of School Which Bears Her Name. Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 6. — One of the most remarkable women of our race in this section is Mrs. Currie A. Tuggle, president and founder of Tuggle institute, on Eunon Ridge, near here. She is also mother of protection and founder of the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection, grand worthy counselor of the Grand Court of Calanthe, the female branch of the Knights of Pythias, and a generally useful woman who is devoting her whole life to the advancement of the Negro race. Mrs. Tuggle was born in Eufaula, Ala., and as a girl had an interesting career. She developed a wonderful mind, and was a recognized leader among her playmates. She at an early age learned to read and write, and at the same time learned the use of the needle. There were but few girls in the town of Eufaula who were as useful with a needle as "Little Charity Griggs," as she was called by the people of the town. She also took a leading part in Sunday school and church work. Her early training was obtained the public schools of Eurinah. Slout was also fortunate in having good private teachers. The private teacher she were among some of the best whit women in that section of the country who took special interest in her and had much to do with fitting her for MRS. CARRIE A. TUGOLE: the splendid work which she is now doing. Among her first efforts in a business, way was as a tailor, and while yet a young woman she was known as one of the best tailors in the town. She made clothes for the governor of the state and other state officials. Her first public service as a church worker was back in the days of Bishop Payne. She was ordained a deacon by him and put into active service. She erected a church in Georgetown, Ga. It was the first time in the history of the town that a woman had ever erected a church. This won for Mrs. Tuggle the admiration and praise of thousands of people. Not only was she a remarkable talker, but she was a great singer. Her services were sought in all parts of the south among the church people. Through her singing and talking many people were brought into the church. When the Knights of Pythias decided to bring out the female branch known as Court of Calcutta Mrs. Tuggle was selected as the organizer, and it was not long before strong courts were formed in the state, and she was put at the head of the grunt court and the court of the poor since. In the Household of Ruth, Sisters of Mysterious Tens, Order of Eastern Star and almost other organization in the state she has been active and is active now. On May 3, 1863, she called around her the women of thought and told them of the work which she intended to do and asked their co-operation, and as a result in the fall of that year Tuggle institute was organized, and the boys and girls who were not able to pay their way were accepted as willingly as those who were fully able to meet their expenses. In order to get more help in the work she organized the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection. It is a secret society, and all of its secret work, passwords and signs came from the brain of Mrs. C. A. Tuggle. It is today one of the strongest organizations in the country, with a large membership in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Iowa and Illinois. Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle is one of the best known women in the country, and in the Supreme Court of Calamthe she is a recognized leader. The women look up to her for advice, which she gives willingly, and at the same time she reaches out for the boys and girls who need her services at all times. TRUE APOSTLE OF FREEDOM.

Committee Decides to Hold "Fifteenth Annual Session in "Hub City." Tuskegee, Ala.—At the meeting of the National Negro Business league held last August in Muskogee, Okl., invitations to hold the next meeting were received from and through the local Negro business leagues of Boston, Kansas City, Mo., and Chicago. The executive committee decided to leave the matter of the final decision to a committee composed of Dr. Booker T. Washington, president; Hon. J. C. Napier, chairman of the executive committee, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary. All these invitations were most cordial, but after weighing all matters carefully it has been decided to hold the next meeting in Boston in response to the invitation received from the Boston Negro Business league No. 1, whose invitation to the league follows: Boston, 19, 1944 National Negro Business League, Emmett J.

The national organization, working in earnest cooperation with the Boston Negro Business league No. 1, will do everything possible to assure at Boston a meeting in every way worthy of the progress and influence of the league during the past fifteen years. The Broad Ax's Subscription Campaign The Chicago Board Ax, edited by the militant Julius F. Taylor, is conducting a wonderful subscription campaign which has many novel features. Editor Taylor, says N. B. Dodson, has long been known as a stinch advocate of full citizenship rights of the race as guaranteed by the federal constitution, but which are largely denied by discriminating and unjust state laws in violation of the letter and spirit of the constitution. Long may the Broad Ax live and prosper under his able management. AFRO-CHRISTIANS SHOW GRATITUDE President of Progressive International Body of Churchmen in Able Address Calls Attention to What Good White People North and South Have Done For Our Race. One of the most industrious and devout men of our race in the Christian ministry is the Rev. Dr. S. A. Howell of Newport News, Va. He is the honored president of the Afro-Christian convention, which has a large membership, many splendid church edifices and capable ministers. The convention also has within its jurisdiction a large number of well organized Sunday schools and conducts a thrifty work for home and foreign missions. The women's national organization of the convention holds its national convention biennially. At the recent meeting of the American Christian convention held in Springfield, O., the Rev. Dr. Howell M. B. Then in 1883 we had about ten churches, six or eight preachers and about 500 amateurs of the West Indies and South America about 250,000 members, about 500 ministers, nearly 400 churches, with well organized Sunday schools, and about 100 missionary conventions and four Sunday school conventions. Thus far we have moved in forty-six years. This is too short a time to stand alone. In view of the circumstances, we have done well, emancipated, as we were, largely destitute of money, education and morals, and we have all the above mentioned, essentials of religion and race development, we are by no means beyond the point where races of superior admirability should do other than lend us a helping hand.

EIGHTY PLEAD GUILTY IN INDIANA INVESTIGATION Politicians and Citizens of Terre Haute Charged With Conspiring Against Government to Commit Election Frauds: Indianapolis, Ind. — Terre Haute acknowledged the power of the United States government when so of its politicians and citizens, out of a total of 114 indicted, pleaded guilty in rapid succession to the charge of conspiring against the government to commit election frauds. Mayor Donn M. Roberts and a comparative few of his closest associates stood out in isolation prepared to fight the charge. Representative A. C. Stanley of Kentucky, as attorney, filed a denurrier for George Ehrenharden, member of the Terre Haute board of works, when the latter was arraigned, questioning the jurisdiction of the court and the form of indictment. Stanley also filed denurriers for Mayor Donn Roberts and 20 others indicted for election frauds. It was early intimated that Mayor Roberts and his close associates would not notice the facts in the case, but would rely on the original interpretation of the federal code, which for the first time applied the conspiracy clause to local elections. From many sources have come the statement that many forces in the country will unite to defend the Terre Hauteans against this interpretation. The south is understood to be interested, fearing that a precedent here would give the federal government cause to interfere in certain state laws regulating the negro vote. The presence of the distinguished Kentucky orator as chief counsel for the defense is taken to be significant because of this. WOMAN SUFFRAGE LOSES BRISTOW-MONDELL RESOLUTION IS DEFEATED IN THE HOUSE BY VOTE OF 204 TO 174. Washington. D. C.—Woman suffrage went down to defeat in the house of representatives. By a vote of 204 to 174 the house refused to pass the Bristow-Mondell resolution to submit to the different states an amendment to the national constitution providing that the right of suffrage should not be denied because of sex. A two-thirds majority of the house and senate is necessary for the passage of any resolution for a constitutional amendment, and the supporters of suffrage were confident that this would be polled. When they learned that they had failed even of a straight majority they were terribly disappointed, but are rallying their forces for another fight in the next congress. The vote was the culmination of a 10th hour of the perilous oratory of the champions and opponents of the resolution was cheered and hissed in turn by the women who packed the gallerius almost to suffocation. So vociferous were those in the gallery that Speaker Clark was obliged to pound repeatedly with his gavel and demand that order be restored before he would allow the debate to proceed. Holde Directors for Train Wreck. New York City.—Theodore P. Shonts, August Belmont, Cornellus Vanderbilt and nine other directors of the Interborough. Rapid Transit Co. and General Manager Frank Hedley were found guilty of culpable negligence by the jury at the inquest conducted by Coroner Patrick D. Riordan and Coroner Patrick D. Riordan. Culpable negligence was defined by Coroner Riordan as criminal negligence, which under section 1052 of the penal law constitutes manlaughter in the second degree. TURK FORCES TAKE OVER PERSIAN CITY Occupy Tabriz, Which, After Teheran, Is the Largest City in Country. Gain an Important Base for Projected German-Turkish Attack Upon the Russian Positions in the Province of Erivan: London, Eng.—Reuter's Telegram Co. has received a dispatch from its correspondent at Petrograd saying an advance detachment of the Turkish army has occupied the Persian city of Tabriz. Tabriz is in northwestern Persia, and, after Teheran, the largest city in the country: It is 100 miles to the east of the Turkish frontier. The taking of Tabriz means that the Turks, who unobediently had the backing of some of the wild Turkish tribesmen of this locality, have gained an important base for the projected German-Turkish attack upon the Russian positions in the province of Erivan, north of the Persian border and south of riffs. The occupation of Tabriz, which is the capital of the province of Azebian, was rendered comparatively easy for the Turks by the recent withdrawal of Russian forces to meet the Ottoman advance further west. Whether Tabriz was taken without bloodshed is not yet known, but in the absence of Russian troops it is not likely that Persia was able to offer any serious resistance. Aim at Vulnerable Point Aim at Vulnerable Point. Russia's most vulnerable point, at which the Turks are aiming, lies among the undefended Russo-Persian frontier to the north of Tabriz. There has never been any necessity for preparing this portion of the Russian boundary against possible Persian attack. The opinion is held here that Great Britain and Russia may offer assistance to Persia in the defense of her neutrality, as a result of Turkey's defense. When the Ottoman activities in Persian territory first developed, Persia not only announced her neutrality but asked the good officer of Great Britain to prevent violation of her neutrality. Little could be done at the time, as the territory invaded lay within the sphere of Russian influence. Even though Turkey should fail to push further northward she will have gained a basis for negotiations if she is able to retain Tahir, and will also have obtained a foothold on the territory on the eastern bank of Lake Urumiah, which she has long coveted. German Victories Reported. German victories in several engagements on the western front are announced in a statement from the Berlin war office. It is stated the allies were compelled by German artillery to evacuate trenches near the Belgian coast, in the neighborhood of Nleuport, and that attacks were repulsed at other points, with the capture of 1,700 French in one instance. In southern Poland the Russians have made another attempt, to push across the Nida river, apparently in an effort to advance once on Craucow. An official Austrian statement says the Russians were compelled to withdraw under the fire of the Austrian artillery. Count Leopold Von Berchtold, Austrian foreign minister, has resigned and his resignation has been accepted, according to the Vienna Freem盟blatt. Count Von Berchtold will be succeeded by Baron Stephen Burian Von Rajecz, minister of the royal court in the Hungarian cabinet. Count Von Berchtold was one of the main factors in the situation which led to the Austrian declaration of war on Servia, which in turn precipitated the European war. CAT CAUSES DEATH OF BUTCHER AND HELPER Newark, N. J.—A cat with a fondness for a warm bed beside the stove killed two men and herself here. The cat was the pet of Alexander Kasmir and shared with him and his assistant the sleeping room back of the Kasmir meat market. This room was heated by a gas stove. Kasmir and his helper, a youth known only as George, were found dead in the room, which was filled with gas. The cat was also dead, lying across the tube which connected the gas stove to the fixture. It was apparent that the cat, curled close to the stove for warmth, had disconnected the tube and caused the room to fill with the fatal fumes. Grid Star Burned to Death. Hiram, O.-Burns, which he sustained when a can of gasoline he was carrying exploded caused the death of Ralph Coombs, star football player of Hiram college and all-round athlete. Despite the efforts of Coach Crowell of the college, who rolled Coombs in the snow and attempted to save his life, the young man was so terribly burned that he died. The funeral was held from his home in Chagirn Falls, the members of the Hiram football and basketball teams getting as palibearers. Free! Free! Free! AT THE 2742 Central Av., cor.

MORGAN SAYS IT IS NOT SO. The following communication is self-explanatory: Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Relative to the article published in your issue of Jan. 9th, referring to me, copy of which I am enclosing herewith. The members was asked in the bank where the Association's funds are placed: "Who make up the Cleveland Ass. of Colored Men?" This, it was said, resulted from Treasurer Morgan's way of writing the Association's name on checks. It angered the member questioned by the bank clerk, and had much to do with Morgan's defeat. It is false and untrue and I call upon you to deny it in your next issue or if you are not responsible for its origin, then to publish the name of the person who is responsible for its publication. G. A. Morgan The above excerpt from The Gazette of Jan. 9, 1915, is a part of a memorial of the annual election of officers of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men. The Gazette has absolutely no personal interest in the matter, is pleased to publish Mr. Morgan's letter, and to state that its source of information was a member of the organization. OUR INAUGURAL SHOWING. "Ted"Greene Succeeds Leroy Godman —Why Wilbur King Refused the Job—Sutton's Near Defeat— Personal. Special to The Gazette Columbus, O.—The inaugural ceremonies brought quite a number of our people, also, to the city Monday. The 18th ward Republican club of Cincinnati, 300 strong with their own band was the race feature. The sixth ward political club of this city, about 100 in number, with band (white); our Peep's band of this city and the local company of the Ninth Battalion, O. N.G., led the second division of the procession, in which also were the cadets of the Ohio State University, in every county of which our band was splendidly represented. The People's band, now the Ninth Battalion band, gave a concert in the rotunda of the State house and was highly praised by all. It has just reached here that Tom Fleming of Cleveland, claims to have helped Chas. Sutton of that city to secure the minor clerkship he holds in the State Senate here. Sutton has denied this in a Cleveland daily paper. The fact is that the "speech" Tom made in the caucus of Republican leaders brought by the very near defeating Sutton's selection and would have done so but for Arthur J. Riggs of Springfield, who followed him, and for the pressure in Sutton's behalf brought to bear at the "eleventh hour" by Messrs. Minor G. Norton and James B. Ruh, both white, of Cleveland, and friends of the race. Fleming brought Steve, Ball of Cleveland, here. Monday, and tried to get him a place in the Assembly cloakroom, but failed in the city. Monday, were: Sidney B. Thompson, John Fulton and John Stowers. Attorney General Edwin C. Turner, who took his seat, Monday, as successor to Att-Gen. Hogan, last week tendered a position in his office to Wilbur E. King, for the past dozen years Assistant County Prosecuting Attorney. As the position was not in keeping either with what the race is entitled to or King's reputation as a lawyer, he respectfully declined the job, and advised Mr. Turner he would return to the practice of law. Upon King refusing the proffered place, he gave it to the prosecuting attorney, upstown, first, however, reducing the charge to $1500, $300 less per annum than the Democratic Attorney General had paid to Mr. Leroy Godman, the first Colored lawyer to enter that office. King is being praised for declining to accept the smallest place in the office. SPINGARN'S TOUR Of Cities of the Middle West—Crowds Hear Him in Pennsylvania and Ohio This Week.

E. churches, and also made addresses to the "Hungry Club", the chief forum of the city, to the Ministerial Union and to the students of the Sociology Department of Pittsburg University. Everywhere he was received with enthusiasm. After leaving Dayton Dr. Spingarn will speak in Cincinnati and Toledo, Springfield, Ill., St. Joseph, Mo. Des Molines, Ia., Omaha, Neb. Macnapolis and St. Paul, ending his trip in Buffalo, N. Y. In all of these cities a series of mass meetings have been arranged, in churches, before Chambers of Commerce and before the American representative organization. In the public libraries interesting exhibits have been arranged of books by and about Negroes. These public displays are providing a real service to American democracy by bringing forcibly to the attention of white people the literary achievements of the race. BERT WILLIAMS, SOLDIER. Chicago, Ill.—Next to the glare of the footlights Bert Wilfiamus loves the life of a soldier. Be it known that when the great comedian lived around these parts he was a member of the gallant Eighth Regiment, I. N. G., and put in several seasons at Camp Lincoln. Dawn in old New York town, where he now lives, they have no regiment, and Bert snaps his leisure time telling them about his old regiment. When he joined the "Ziegfeld Follies" he told his fellow members about the "Eighth," but on a recent Friday night he "showed them." He was playing at the Illinois theater, and after the evening's performance he donned his old uniform and brought the entire company to the bar as his friend, and he was on the floor of the Seventh Regiment Armory when the distinguished party arrived. They received a tremendous ovation, and the white members of the party enjoyed the evening throughout, mingling with their host's friends and never missing a dance.

Also that Jack shipped two motor cars, a man, a dog, and a girl from Alres from Paris, and that the story that he ever "swam in champagne", or did anything so foolish, was untrue.
