THIRTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 26
MESSAGE PREDICTS FURTHER AIR RAIDS
'This Is Only the Beginning,' Says Laconic Dispatch From Berlin to London.
ULTIMATE GOAL IS THE BRITISH CAPITAL
England Belleves Second Visit of Zeppelins Will Follow Closes on Heels of First and is Taking Every Precaution on Seacoast.
London, England.—"This laconic message sent from Berlin to Amsterdam Wednesday and relayed to London forecasts more raids like the one of Tuesday night by the dreaded Zeppelin aerial fleet on England.
That the ultimate goal of the Teuton airmen is London is certain. That the second raid will follow close on the heels of the first is believed here and every precaution is being taken here and in dozens of North sea coast towns.
The message from Berlin says success of the raid on eight Norfolk county cities and towns Tuesday night has caused the wildest delight and rejoicing throughout Germany. The dispatch states the aerial raid had been planned for months and had only "waited opportunity for its accomplishment."
Make Speedy Trip.
The approximate times of the visit of the German airships to the several towns in Norfolk were: Great Yarmouth, 8:20 p. m.; Cromer, 8:30; Sheringham, 8:40; Hunstanton, 10; Heacham, 10:30; Sandringham, 10:40, and Kings Lynn, 11.
So far as has been learned four or five persons were killed by the bombs dropped by the airships and about as many more were wounded. Most of the damage appears to have been inflicted upon private houses and shops: few public buildings or docks seem to have been injured.
The raiding airmen showed excellent ability to pilot their vessels as well as good marksmanship. Despite the darkness they seemed to find their way over the country with remarkable directness, and the accuracy of their aim with bombs was greater than generally had been befriended possible.
Take Refuge In Cellars.
The police reports from the towns upon which bombs were thrown say the public responded well to the raid instructions recently made public. For the most part the people took refuge in their cellars. Several theaters were emptied quietly. An unexploded bomb found in Yarmouth welged six pounds and is cone shaped. The police of Huntstanton deny the report one of the raiding Zeppelins was brought down here. The last seen of the airship which dropped bombs on that place was as she was passing northward over the sea. Comment of the British press on the airship attack is bitter in tone, many of the London papers assailing the Germans in the same unmeasured language as at the time of the Hartlepool naval raid. The event is being used as a text for editors urging more rapid recruiting.
Germans on the Defensive.
While the raids of German aircraft has been the all-absorbing topic, news from Petrograd Indicates the Teutons are on the defensive in East Prussia. Dispatches say, along a 60-mile front, from Chechanow, to the south of Hiawa, to s. town on the Vistula 12 miles below Plock, the Germans are retreating before the Russian advance. During the last three days heavy artillery engagements have occurred at points along this line.
Absolute quiet on some parts of the battle line in France, artillery engagements of greater or less severity at others and a spirited infantry encounter at still other places, all are set forth in the official announcement given out by the French war office Wednesday afternoon. None of the engagements recorded seems to have been of great importance.
ROOSTER GULPS GEM
PRIZE WINNING BIRD SWALLOWS
DIAMOND WHICH DROPPED
FROM MAN'S RING.
Washington, D. C.—Walter Kleifer was pointing out the good qualities of a $500 prize winning rooster in a coop at the poultry and pigeon show when a $125 diamond dropped from his ring into the pen. The rooster gobbled it.
"Your rooster has swallowed my $125 diamond." Kleifer told William A. Crowe, the rooster's owner.
"I cannot afford to gill a $500 cock-rel to recover a $125 diamond," Mr. Crowe answered.
And the question of what shall be done is not yet settled.

STRIKING LABORERS AND DEPUTIES CLASH
Fourteen Men Are Shot, Four of Them Being Mortally Wounded, in Battle at Chemical Company's Plant.
Roosevelt, N. J. — Fourteen men were shot, four of them being mortally wounded, in a pitched battle between 250 striking laborers and 50 deputy sheriffs at the plant of the American Agricultural Chemical Co. here. One of the wounded died on the way to the hospital. It is said.
The fight occurred when the strikers stopped a New Jersey train from Elizabethport to see if the train brought strikebreakers to the plant. There were no strikebreakers aboard but a few office employees, who were passengers, started an outcry, believing the strikers intended harm.
In answer to the call 50 deputy sheriffs, armed with rifles and revolvers, ran to the scene from the company's plant. At first only stones were used. Then someone fired a shot. This was the signal for a fuselade, which came apparently from both sides. None of the deputies was injured, but many strikers fell. Most of the wounded men were shot through the legs, as the deputies fired low. The strikers dispersed, some of them carrying the wounded men away.
The strike at the plant has been on for two weeks. According to the company's statement, approximately half of their 400 employees are affected. There had been frequent clashes between the strikers' pickets and workmen and deputies at the plant.
IONIAN ISLES SHAKEN
MEDITERRANEAN GROUP VISITED BY QUAKES AND TREMORS ROCK SWITZERLAND.
Paris, France—Violent earthquakes occurred in Zante and Cephalonina islands in the Ionian group in the Mediterranean, according to an Athena dispatch. It is feared considerable damage resulted.
From Geneva, Switzerland, come reports that an earthquake occurred throughout Switzerland. It extended from Lugano to Basei and from Lausanne to St. Gall, Berne also felt the shock, which was severest, however, at Neuchâtel, where several houses were damaged. Elsewhere the shocks were slight. The disturbance caused many avanches in the Alps. Severe earth shocks rocked the houses in Belfort, France. In some cases, furniture was overturned and the doors of residences were burst open.
Quake Rocks Calabria
Rome, Italy.—An earthquake of great force has shaken all Calabria, in the southwestern part of Italy, but, so far as is known, has caused no loss of life. The shock appears to have been most severe in the neighborhood of Cosenza, capital of the province. It frightened thousands of persons and drove them into the open, where they insist on staying. They prefer to risk cold and its consequent sufferings than run the chance of being buried in the ruins of their homes. The shocks were especially severe at San Benedetto Ullano, a town of 2,338 inhabitants; at Montalto Uffugo, with a population of 7,779, and at San, Pietro Valano and Nappl. Houses were damaged at these places but there were no victims.
Brumbaugh Takes Oath
Harrisburg, Pa.-Martin G. Brumbaugh of Philadelphia on Jan. 19, was inaugurated governor of Pennsylvania for four years. An unusually large crowd saw the new governor take the oath of office and listened to his inaugural address, in which he reaffirmed he would do his utmost to carry out his platform pledges enunciated in the last campaign. During the campaign Mr. Brumbaugh pledged himself to support local option and in his address he urged the legislature to enact such a law.

TRUE REFORMERS' NEW PRESIDENT
Interesting Career of Brilliant Young Clergyman Who Has Done Creditable Work In Many Fields of Labor. Well Known In Secret Societies as a Zealous and Safe Leader.
Richmond, Va.—The recent turn in the affairs of the grand fountain, United Order of True Reformers, resulting in Grand Worthy Master Floyd Ross' disappearance and suspension from his office by the board of directors, of the organization, has brought before the country a young man eminently fitted to guide this fraternity on to unprecedented success. The matters that have made the organization, the cyclosure of the eyes of those interested in its remarkable
REV. B. S. MORRIS, B. D.
effort to rehabilitate itself are quite vital, but not of such import as to hinder it in its work for the future.
Such capable and trustworthy men as grand Worthy Treasurer Dr. William Smith and Grand Worthy Secretary Maurice Rousseau, who have proved their ability, have the confidence of every Afro-American who believes in "native ideals," and the other prominent people composing the present board of directors will certainly gain the approbation of the fraternity and the friends of some in every section of the country in electing Rev. S. S. Morris, A. B., B. D., of this city as the chief executive of the order. The new grand worthy master was born in Portsmouth, Va., and is well known throughout this section of the Old Domitian. His mother, Mrs. Lucinda Morris, was, a Sunday school teacher for nearly fifty years in the Emmanuel A. M. E. church at Portsmouth, Va., and the Christian environment of Dr. Morris was such that he was converted at the age of fourteen years and became an energetic worker as a Sunday school teacher and president of Allen C. E. league. He received his elementary education in the public schools of Norfolk county, Va.; Providence, R. L., and Washington.
He was licensed as a local preacher in 1890 and joined the Virginia conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church in April, 1901. He was later, transferred to the Atlanta (Ga.) conference in December, 1901, and received his first appointment as pastor of West End A. M. E. church, Atlanta. He exhibited such fine ability at the West End church that he was appointed to the Thomasville church, in Fulton county, in 1903, and the following year he was made superintendent of the industrial department of Morris Brown college, Atlanta. In June, 1905, Rev. Mr. Morris returned to Virginia as pastor of Tanner's Creek circuit, Norfolk county.
Dr. Morris is now serving his fourth year as pastor of the historic Third Street A. M. E. church, this city. He has remodeled this church at a cost of $15,000 and during his administration has added 150 to the membership. He is recognized in this city as a born leader and is foremost in any movement making-for the betterment of conditions among our people. He has done a remarkable work as president of the Civic league here. In fraternal circles his advice on important matters is most always sought. He is a member of the grand lodge of Masons of Virginia and chaplain of the Second regiment uniform rank of Knights of Pythias. He was formerly a member of the board of directors of the fraternity of which he is now the head.
Wherever he pastors he encourages and stimulates literary endeavors among the people. He is now secretary of the Social Study club of Richmond, which is a credit to the Afro-Americans of Richmond interested in the advancement of the race. It is the consensus of opinion among the bettement of both races in this section of Virginia that he will put the True Reformers back on the right track. Its knowledge of conducting large organizations was obtained at the general conference of this church when it met at Kansas City, Mo., and again as one of the trustees of Kettlead college, North Carolina.

Two Ribs by Fall on Ice.
Two ribs by pad on ice.
The news of the accident to Dr. William Saunders Scarborough, president of the Wilberforce (O.) university, which he sustained by a fall on the key pavement in going from one building to another at the university. New Year's night, game as a great shock to his many friends throughout the country, as, in like manner, to the faculty and students of the school. Two of Dr. Scarborough's ribs were broken, and he was quite badly shaken up otherwise.
Notwithstanding, this severe fall, President Scarborough performed the duty of presiding at a meeting in Shorter hall, at the university, that night before retiring from the day's routine of activities. It was after he had retired that the effects of the fall became apparent to him, and the next morning Dr. Galloway was hurriedly called in to attend the president, whom the found suffering intensely.
Dr. Scarborough was not aware, however, that any of his ribs were broken until informed by the attending physician. Everything possible to being done for his comfort and speedy recovery. The race at large regrets the misfortune which has come to this noted scholar and useful man of international fame and ripe experience in its educational work. Many letters, and telegrams from persons in most all sections of the country have been received expressing sympathy and reveregt for the accident to this great champion of higher education.
SPINGARN SPEAKS. THREE TIMES. IN LINCOLN'S HOME.
National Association's Chairman Tells Illinois Folks of its Great Work.
Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who is touring the middle west in the interest of the association he represents, on Sunday, Jan. 17, addressed three meetings in Springfield, Ill. Here in the home of Abraham Lincoln he told how the national association was organized as a result of the terrible race riots in Springfield in the summer of 1908 which shocked the entire country. It will be remembered that a mob containing many of the town's "best citizens" raged for two days, killing and wounding scores of colored people and driving thousands from the city.
Dr. Spingarn told of the great work the association is now carrying on through its Washington branch and through its legislative agents in Washington, who keep the association constantly informed of the doings of congress. The first week in January the Washington branch did a characteristically brilliant piece of work. The amendment to the immigration bill proposing to exclude Negro allens regardless of their ability to meet the literacy test was introduced by Senator Reed of Missouri, who was conducting a general fillbuster against the bill and who brought in his amendment to delay a final roll call.
It passed the senate by a vote of 20 to 25. On receipt of the news from Washington the national association wired all its branches, which, with the national officers, immediately got in communication with members of congress. A committee from the Washington branch literally made a door to door canvas of the house office building and when necessary also called congressmen from the floor of the house. A brief against the amendment was prepared by a committee from the Branch and placed on the desk of every member of congress. The same day the house voted to defeat the amendment 252 to 75.
Dr. Spingarn also told of the fight the association is now making to defeat the inter-terminarriage bill which is in the senate, having passed the house, and to defeat the District of Columbia fimcrow bill, also now in the house. He told of the important work the association did in connection with the Smith-Lever bill last year and of its success in killing a bill which was introduced to segregate colored employees throughout the federal service of the United States.
After leaving Springfield Dr. Spingarn will speak in St. Joseph, Des Moines, Omaha, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Toledo and other cities. The committee which arranged the meetings in Springfield is Mrs. J. T. Johnson, Major George W. Ford, Dr. S.' A. Ware, Miss Allie Williams, Mrs. Emma Singleton, Dr. Ewing, Mrs. Emma J. Goems and others.
Bright Future For New Monrovia, Fla.
New Monrovia is the name of a suburb of West Palm Beach, Fla., which is inhabited solely by colored people. They have begun the publication of a weekly paper, the New Monrovia Journal, which is well edited and carries much interesting news of this thriving settlement, which bids fair to become an important center of business in the West Palm Beach section of the state. The possibilities for future development are bright.
One of Kentucky's Leading Educators.
Mrs. Sophia P. Craig of Dauville Ky., recently received a certificate from the Kentucky board of education empowering her to teach anywhere in the state without license or examination. This comes as a reward for many years of efficient service in the educational work of the state, says the Lexington (Ky.) Weekly News.
DR. J. H. GRIFFIN HONORED.
Meharry Students Elect Brilliant Young Georgian Class President.
Nashville, Team- Perhaps no school in the country is doing more effective work for the uplift of the Afro-Americans of the southern states than Wadsworth university and the Meharry college of this city, says Whittier Howard Wright.
During the thirty-eight years of its existence Meharry has sent out over 2,000 graduates in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and trained nursing. The number of graduates and the states in which Meharry men and women are located are the following: Tennessee, 213; Texas, 117; Georgia, 111; Arkansas, 76; Oklahoma, 65; Alabama, 58; Kentucky, 58; Mississippi, 48 and Florida, 46.
There are at the present session nearly 000 students from all sections of the country as well as the West Indian islands. There are enrolled former students of Columbia university, Harvard university, Chicago university, North western university, Howard university, Shaw university, Atlanta university, Fisk university, Georgia State college,
DR. J. H. GRIFFIN.
Wiley university of Texas, Clark university of Atlanta, Ga., and numerous other schools of like standing throughout the country.
The men and women come here well prepared for the study of the medical profession. As a tribute to his splendid manhood and brilliant scholarship Joseph Howard Griffin of Georgia was elected as president of the senior medical class of Mebrayr. Coming from his alma mater, the Georgia State Industrial college of Savannah, of which Major 4. R. Wright is president, where he won many positions and honors on account of his close, application to his duties, he won recognition among his classmates from the very beginning. Dr. Griffin is truly a splendid type of young manhood. Although this position is one only of honor it was greatly sought after by other members of the student body. We believe it is a true appreciation of this young man's worth. The race may expect great things in the medical world in the future from Dr. Griffin and other well prepared medical medicos.
TROTTER WARMLY RECEIVED AT MEETINGS IN CHICAGO.
Militant Boston Editor and Race Champion Makes Good Impression.
Chicago. - William Mource Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian and foremost in the work of the National Independent Equal Rights league, was warmly received by the citizens of Chicago on his recent visit to this city. Mr. Trotter spoke eight times at different meetings, which were arranged in advance of his coming.
The now famous Wilson-Trotter incident, which occurred in Washington on Nov. 12, 1914, when a delegation from the Equal Rights league by appointment visited President Wilson to protest against race segregation, was reviewed by Mr. Trotter at each of the meetings held.
Business and professional men and women, ministers and laymen of Chicago manifest their interest in the work of the league and in Mr. Trotter's efforts to lay the matter of race segregation before the public in its true light by attending the meetings and making Mr. Trotter's stay one of satisfaction to himself and profit to the cause of human rights. Great good was accomplished: The first blow to the immigration bill, which had for its purpose the exclusion of persons of the Negro race from entering this country in the future, was struck by the Equal Rights league at Chicago when it sent resolutions and telegrams of protest 'to all Illinois representatives in congress asking them to do all in their power to defeat the African exclusion clause in the immigration bill.
Representative Madden led the fight on the bill, by separating the clause relating to African exclusion for consideration Tuesday, Jan. 5, and then with the cooperation of his colleagues led the fight which resulted in the defeat of the bill on Thursday, Jan. 7. Not only did the Chicago branch of the Equal Rights league petition the Illinois representatives, but branch leagues in various parts of the country petitioned their representatives likewise.
The new Fourth Rights Second Corps in Gideon was based on the Bingham W. Ellison's position: "mrs. Ida J. Wells Barnett, Mrs. E. H. Wright, Miss Lennora Curtis and Miss Foster were among the women who received great service to the culture during the Tiltster series of meetings.

PRESIDENT WILSON IS NOW A GRANDFATHER
U. S. Executive's Second Daughter, Mrs.
Jessie Wilson Sayre, Gives Birth to
Boy in the White House.
Washington, D. C.—A baby boy was born in the White House Sunday to Mrs. Jessie Wilson Sayre, second daughter of the president. The birth occurred at 4:30 in the afternoon and it is said that "both mother and child are doing well."
This is the second boy ever born in the White House, the first, like this one, the grandson of a president. The first was a grandson of President Andrew Jackson.
The only other living White House children are Esther Cleveland, the "princess Julia Dent Cantaceuch, granddaughter of President Grant. Mrs. Frederick Grant came a bride to the White House and during her stay the future princess was born.
Rumors that the stork was hovering over the executive mansion have been heard for some time, and it is understood that Mrs. Sayre came to Washington specially to give her child the distinction of White House birth.
Mrs. Sayre is understood to have been her mother's favorite child, and her grief over Mrs. Wilson's death is said to have given the physicians and relatives quite a little anxiety. Everybody here is willing to wager the boy will be named "Woodrow Wilson Sayre."

MEXICAN SURRENDERS TO BRIT-ISH CONTENTION CONCERNING CONFISCATION OF OIL LAND.
Washington, D. C.—While Secretary of State Bryan and other officials of the state department waited here for an answer from Carranza in reply to Mr. Bryan's protest against the confiscation of British oil lands, in the Tampico district, the matter, had already been settled by Carranza direct with the British embassy at Washington.

Mexico City, Mexico—Provisional President Eulalia Gutierrez has been superseded as head of the convention government by Gen. Roque Gonzales-Garza, presiding officer of the convention which Saturday night elected him provisional president to serve until an election shall be held and a president duly selected by ballot. Gen. Garza is known as Villa adherent.
Gen. Gutierrez left Mexico City Sunday morning for Pachuca, accompanied by Gens. Blanco, Robles and Jose Vasconcelos as a "bodyguard." These officers, toiled off by Gen. Garza ostensibly as protectors of the deposed provisional executive, as a matter of fact will act as his captors in the sense that they are charged with seeing that Gutierrez commits no act which shall be detrimental to the Villa interests.
Gen. Garza proclaimed martial law as his first official act and the convention was simultaneously proclaimed as the supreme governing body, to remain in control until a new executive shall be selected by popular vote.

HASTEN CURES FOR DEBT ILLS OF CITIES
Commission. Authorized by Last Ohio Legislature Completes Its Report.
All Tax Levies for Sinking Fund Purposes Shall Be Exempt From Limitations of 1 Per Cent Law Is One Recommendation.
Columbus, O.—Ten recommendations for legislation relieving the stringent financial condition of Ohio cities and increasing their revenues are contained in a voluminous report just completed by the special city revenue commission authorized by the legislature last year and appointed by former Gov. Cox.
Most important and most likely to arouse the opposition of rural legislators is the recommendation that all tax levies for sinking fund purposes shall be exempt from the limitations of the Smith 1 per cent levy law.
In this as in other features the report is attivance with the message recommendations of Gov. Willis, who urged that further limitations_be imposed on the tax levying activities of municipalities. Copies of the report will be filed with the governor and the assembly simultaneously soon.
Recommendations Made.
Following are the recommendations summarized:
Abandonment of the state tax levy.
Retention of the special excise taxes levied on public utilities and insurance companies to supply the state's revenues.
Retention of present apportionment of revenues from liquor license fees between state and municipalities.
Allowing cities revenue from automobile license taxes collected in them. Exemption of all sinking fund tax levies from 10 mill limitation of Smith law.
Limitations solely on powers of municipalities to incur debts and not on power to pay debts legally incurred.
Submission of another constitutional amendment exempting from taxation all bonds issued by the state's political subdivisions.
Authority for municipalities to make temporary loans from special public funds on certificates of indebtedness issued in anticipation of tax collections.
Readjustment on equitable basis of reassessments for street paving and repairs.
A continuous survey of the financial conditions and requirements of municipalities so that comparative data may be available-for legislature and public.
FRANCIS SAYRE IS NAME
WHITE HOUSE BABY MUST HAVE INDIVIDUALITY, SAYS PRESIDENT WILSON.
Washington, D. C.—Francis will be the name of President Wilson's grandson, the child of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Sayre, who was born at the White House. The announcement was made by Mr. Sayre.
Some of the family wanted to call the baby Woodrow Wilson Sayre or Woodrow Sayre, but the president thought the child should have an individuality of his own.
No date has been set for the christening, but it probably will be held in the White House.

Escanaba, Mich.—Mrs. Maggie
O'Leary, who for forty years
lived alone in a little farm house near
here, is dead. Her neighbors declare
she was the woman whose cow was
credited with having caused the great
Chicago fire of 1871. In 1893, when
officials from the World's Fair came to
urgue her to attend 'the exposition,
Mrs. O'Leary refused. F. A. Gravelle,
for twoscore years her neighbor, said
that when Mrs. O'Leary settled here,
she was credited with being the owner
of the cow which started the fire.
Urgent More to Marry
Beliefontaine, O. — "There were entirely too few marriages among the young people of this congregation last year," remarked Pastor A. K. Sourd in an address to his congregation in St. Patrick's church. "More attention should be given by young people to assuming the marriage relation. If you cannot be suited here, seek elsewhere," he said.

Gor. Cox, “There is in the general rev-

‘The next day the annual report of
the state's bopkkeeper, Auditor Don-
ahey, showed/ there was no treasury
surplus because of the debts created

It fg a9 surprising as it is distress

governor had called an extra session

Speaking at Indianapolis of those
in the U. 8. senate who were “mean

voice of America ought to make them

THE FRANK CASE.
What Atlanta's Leading Editor Has
sar alate nies alh
| Mr. Clark Howell, editor of the At-
Ianta (Ga.) Daily’ Constitution, is
“very clear in the opinion that those
who are undertaking to attribute de-
Yelopments in the Frank case to local
hostility against the Hebrews are do:
ing violent injustice to Atlanta and
stil greater injustice to the very taree
element of our Jewish population
numbered among our most prominent,
enterpirsing, and highly esteemed cit
zens.” He goes on to say
“Without regard to the guilt or in-
nocence of Frank, not one thing that
has happened in the developments of
his case would have been otherwise
had Frank been anything else than a
Jew. Whatever hostility there was
against him as a defendant was not
Because, but in spite of the fact, that
he was a Jew, for there never has "been
a time since Atlanta was a city when
its Jewish population has not figured
prominently in all matters of business
development and civic enterprises
with the most cordial and friendly co-
operation on the part of their asso:

| = a Cana sirreg
Protest.
| Columbus, O.—Ringing resolutions
to Congress against the passage ol
any “jim-erow” legislation. were
adopted last week Tuesday evening at
the conclusion of an address deliv
ered by Dr. Joel BE. Spingarn, former
professor at Columbia University, as
4 result of which Columbus formed an
auxiliary society to the N. A. A. C. P.
The meeting was held in the audito
rium of the Chamber of Commerce
which was crowded with some. 150
persons. A majority were Atro-Amer
jeans, but there was a considerable
sprinkling of whites. Dr, Spingarn
spoke at 0. 8. U, chapel, the following
‘ ‘ ihe ;
‘morning, after which he went to
Springfield, where he spoke that even:
‘ng. He is a wealthy man who de
votes time and money to the advance
‘ment of our race and a variety of 80
‘cial propaganda in which he is inter
ested. By some of the race bis wor}
‘is considered antagonistic to that o!
Booker T. Washington. In his ad
dress he repeatedly referred to “other
‘great but mistaken leaders,” who hac
taught that economic independence 0
‘the race would best advance its politi
‘cal influence and most readily obtair
it social justice. Dr. Spingarn opened
jhis address by saying that the rea’
cause of the present war in Europe
‘was a contempt for weaker people
which expressed itself in a desire tc
colonize and so acquire the land of
these people, Continuing, he said:
“There is a perfect orgie of Negrc
baiting in Congress at the presen!
‘time and when I read what those men
there say I wonder if they are as igno
rant on all other questions, that
don't know about, as they are on thie
‘question that I do know something
about. There are two bills before
Congress now, one to make ita crime
for the races to intermarry in the Dis
trict of Columbia and the other pro
‘viding segregation. My experience
fs that not one Negro in 1,000,000
wants to marry a white person. (Loud
applause.) ‘These, bills are dangerous
to civilization as {hey put black wom:
en at the merey of white men. ‘These
bills in Congress are signs of the
black man’s progress. When a race
rises in the social seale, the friction
with the other race increases. We
new Abolitionists come to you and we
say ‘wake up, black folk, a golden op
portunity. is” yours. Why ‘can't. we
stand for segregation? Because the
segregated race Is cheated out of its
share of the complex organization it
helped to build. Louisville, Richmond,
Baltimore, St, Louis and other cities
have segregation laws. ‘They are in-
creasing. If you do not organize and
take courage and determine this thing
shall stop, the cloud will come very
near to Columbus. All that we ask
is that the thing be managed as well
as it is in Jamaica. There is not the
same friction there. All we ask is
absolutely fair treatment, as between
men, regardless of color. We want
‘American work done by the best men.”
It now transpires that Atty-Gen. E.
©. Turner offered Wilbur E. King,
Esq. a larger salary than “Ted.”
Greene, Esq., is to receive, ($1500),
and this is $200 a year less than the

Leroy Godman, Fsq., the Afro-Ameri-
san assistant under him. While Atty.
Gen, Turner reduced salaries of assist
ants, he did not reduce his own.

About the Orchid.
In 1768 only 30 spectmens of Epl-
dendra were known to be under eultt-
vation. In 1712 a traveler noted some
specimens in Japan, but up to 1820
orchids were looked upon as a curi-
osity in botanical gardens. ‘The
“moth orchid,” grown in the Phillp:
pines, is an air plont, as are many of
the specimens. The price paid for this
rare bloom was 100 guineas.
English Table Delicacy.
‘The Englishman's weakness for pud-
ding and ple is attested by the fact
that the great London fire began at
Pudding lane and ended at Pye cor-

name from the wine trafle formerly
carried on there. Lambert Simnel,
the pretender in Henry VIII's time,
originated the Simnel or mid-Lent

filled with plums and candied peel.

Some enthusiastic golfers are so en-

Dolls for Society Women.
In Vienna a regular trade is done in
elegantly dressed dolls that are pur-
chased by soclety women. These dolls
are carved by hand after models by
well known artists, and they often
fetch as much as $15 each. Their cos-
tumes are beautifully made, and no
two are alike in face and figure, Many
of these handsome toys are exported
