IN UNION THERE'S STRONGTH TALK FROM'FRISCO TO NEWYORK CITY Bell and Former Associate Converse Over Telephone Line 3,400 Miles Long. Two Mayors Also Exchange Greetings and Later California City is Connected With Boston With Equal Satisfactory Results. San Francisco, Cal. — Long distance, telephone communication between San Francisco and New York, for years the dream of telephone officials, Monday became an established fact. Over a telephone line, 3,400 miles long, the human voice carried perfectly, leaving no doubt of the success of the great undertaking. The first conversation carried on was between Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, and his former associate, Thomas A. Watson. "Ahdy! ahoy! Mr. Watson," said Bell when the connection had been made. "Do you hear me?" "Perfectly," replied Watson. "Do you hear me?" "Just as plain as if you were in New York instead of San Francisco. Do you remember that evening, 38 years ago when we talked through the telephone on a real line for the first time?" "Praises Work of Phone Men. Watson: "Yes. Indeed; that line was two miles long, running from Boston to Cambridge. You were overjoyed at the success of the experiment. "The telephone men have certainly done wonderful things with your invention since the first outdoor test. We must not forget that the circuit we are talking over is really 6,800 miles long, as, of course, the earth cannot be used for the return now as we used it then." "At this point Dr. Bell switched into the line a replica of the original telephone made by Watson in 1875. That this instrument worked well with the lines shows what immense strides have been made in transmission during the 40 years since the invention of the first telephone." Watson: "I hear it perfectly, though less distinctly than the other, of course." "Now switching back to the standard transmitter." Two Mayors: Exchange Greetings. Watson: "Their work has been superb and superb also is the discipline of the organization that watches every inch of this long circuit to safeguard those feeble vibrations from the many things that might interfere with them." When Bell and Watson had concluded their chat Mayors Robb of San Francisco and Mitchel of New York held a seven-minute conversation. Later in the day San Francisco was connected with Boston with equally satisfactory results. President Wilson, in Washington, also talked over the new telephone system with President Moore of the Panama exposition, in San Francisco. HITS ORGANIZED LABOR HITS ORGANIZED LABOR HIGH COURT SUSTAINS EMPLOYERS' RIGHT TO DEMAND EMPLOYE TO DESERT UNION. Washington, D. C.—The constitutional right of employers to require employees to renounce their union affiliations as a condition of employment was sustained Monday by the supreme court in a decision, far reaching to organized labor, in which the so-called coercion statute was declared unconstitutional. Associate Justice Day, joining a dissenting opinion with Justices Hughes and Holmes, declared he believed similar laws in 13 other states and in Porto Rico fell by the decision. Under the Kansas statute it was unlawful for any individual or corporation to coerce or influence any person to enter into an agreement not to join or remain a member of a labor organization as a condition of securing or continuing employment. The case arose from the conviction of T. B. Coppage, a division superintendent of the Frisco railway system, for threatening A. R. Hedge, a switchman, with dismissal if he did not withdraw from the Switchmen's Union of North America. The substance of the opinion of the majority of the court was in this paragraph. Just as labor organizations have the inherent and constitutional right to deny membership to any man who will not agree that during such membership he will not accept or retain employment in an employer with the constitutional right as employer man, has the constitutional right to decline proffered employment unless the employer will agree not to employ any non-union man, so the employer has the constitutional right to employ a person from affiliation with the union during the term of employment. Gang Chief Sentenced. New York City—Chris Dunn, desperado and gang leader, has been taken to Sing Sing and has begun serving two life sentences. But Dunn, if he behaves himself in prison, may finish both sentences by 1955, when he will be 63. Dunn was found guilty of second degree murder, for killing a Brooklyn restaurant. He was sentenced to a minimum of 20 years and a maximum of life. Later he pleaded guilty to killing Patrolman Thomas Kiley and again he was sentenced to serve from 20-years to life.

NEMESIS OF THAW LOSES STATE JOB Jerome, Who Has Prosecuted - Slayer for Nearly - Nine Years, Is Removed as Special Deputy Attorney General. New York City, ... William Travers Jerome, for nearly nine, years known as Harry Kendall Thaw's nomenis, was Tuesday removed, from his position of special deputy attorney general of the state of New York by Attorney General Egbert E. Woodbury and at once caused his fight to have Thaw sent back to Matteawan. Just why Jerome was removed is open to much conjecture. Jerome says that he was tired of the case, shrank from the publicity it entailed and had grown sensitive to the calumny of the crowds who cheered Thaw as a persecuted hero and hooted his prosecutor as a little old man of the gen. The reasons that actuated Attorney General Woodbury are embodied in the telegram of dismissal which he sent to Jerome in the afternoon. The telegram reads: "You and Mr. Kennedy ought to be congratulated upon the successful culmination of your efforts for the return of Harry K, Thaw to the rightful jurisdiction of the courts of this state. In this accomplishment you have fulfilled the purpose of your designation as special deputy attorney general. The case will now be handled by the attorney general's office through Franklin Kennedy and Frank K, Cook, assisted by the district attorney of New York county, where the indictment against Thaw for conspiracy to escape was found. I thank you for your services and shall feel free to call upon you by reason of your familiarity with the case should occasion require. I do not, however, feel justified in continuing special counsel in the case at the expense of the state unless unusual circumstances arise which seem to render such assistance necessary or advisable." Thus ends the long prosecution of Thaw by Jerome. And thus one of the greatest obstacles between Thaw and freedom is removed. Without any reflection on the ability of Messrs. Kennedy, Cook and Perking, Thaw's friends are openly predicting that Thaw's chances for victory in his coming fight are now more than bright. Jerome has been connected with the case since the night the Pittsburgh millionaire shot and killed Stinford White—nine years ago, next June. Through both sensational trials and through the three habeus corpus hearings and through every recourse to law, old and new, Jerome raced with Thaw and always barred the gates. Into Canada, after Thaw's wild flight from Mattawgan, Jerome followed the noted prisoner, to win again by forcing Thaw to flee the Dominion and seek peace behind a fourth habeus corpus writ in New Hampshire. And then, after 18 months of waiting, the unrelenting Jerome fetched Thaw back to New York—the final chapter in the most remarkable prosecution in criminal amalgam. W. C. T. U. Convention. W. C. T. O. Convention. Marion, O.-Mrs. Florence D. Richards of Columbus, president of the Ohio Woman's Christian Temperance union, in session here, pleaded for every woman to wear a blue ribbon. In speaking of launching a campaign to make Ohio dry, Miss Mary B Irvin of Cedarville, O., national and state secretary of the Loyal Temperance legion, said: "It is most fitting that we should meet here early this year, as we are launching a great campaign and it is being taken up with optimism and persistency." ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JAN. 30, 1915. FRONT LINE WORK FOR THE MASSES Some Good Results Obtained In North Carolina. INFLUENCE OF THE LEADERS Number of Persons Interested in Improving Conditions In Rural District During the Past Year is Encouraging—How Professor Wusley Jonas Worked His Way to Prominence. Burgaw, N. C. The number of men and women of the race in this section of the state who are doing rgal constructive work among our people in the rural districts, towns and villages increases from year to year. They are persons of christian character and influence who make great sacrifice of time, talent and such means as they have to assist the more unfortunate among them to better their condition. During the past year much has been accomplished in this direction through the various organizations and by the personal efforts of individuals who are doing real front line work among the masses. Among the leaders in such constructive work is Professor Wusley Jones of this town. Although Mr. Jones is modest and very unassuming, he is one of the prominent factors in the grand lodge of Free and Ancient Accepted Masons of the jurisdiction of North Carolina. He is widely known in fraternal and religious religions and boars the esteem and respect of all classes in his home town and in the rural districts adjacent to Burgaw. Adverse circumstances have made many men like Professor Jones become pillars in the civil, economic, educational and religious movements of our people in the south. In New Han- PROFESSOR WISLEY JONES. over county, where Professor Jones was born, there is a large number of successful farmers and business men who had to struggle at an early age because of the death of one or both parents and who were trained by a godparent like the one who inspired Professor Jones by her life to the extent that he was converted at the age of seven and eventually has become one of the leading laymen among the Baptist denominations of this state. For seventeen years he held the position of church clerk and gained the unique distinction of being a zealous worker in the Sunday school, having missed only one Sunday in attendance in twenty years. Like this interesting character, many of our progressive men had to educate and support five or more sisters and a widowed mother. This is a fine tribute to the class of Mgr. Americans who are opening up larger opportunities for our young people. With these responsibilities upon him young Mr Jones finally entered Writin Normal school at Lumberston, N. C., and each year when he returned home from this institution he succeeded in getting a higher grade teacher's certificate until he held a first grade one, and yet he pursued his studies with his characteristic arbor and taught school for twenty-four years and inspired hundreds of young men and women who have purchased gentle farms and built comfortable homes for themselves. He owns three of the leading business brick buildings in this town and has a pressing establishment, with steam cleaning and pressing machines, and a well appointed barber shop, and he also conducts a restaurant. He has a large farm and 144 acres of fine forest land. Professor Jones is a strong supporter of the Bureau Normal and Industrial school here and is financial agent of the Northeast Cape Four Baptist Sunday school convention, which is an effective agency at work for the uplift of the race. Owing to her exceptional qualities and business tact the influential wife of Professor Jones has been quite a factor in his useful career, and these two persons are doing much in helping the young Afro-American to find his opportunities by thrift and industry. WHAT WE SPEND ANNUALLY. Would Put Race on Independent Business Basis, Gays Economic Writer. Under the caption "an the Negro Food Himself" the writer on economic subjects at the Tuskegee Ai. institute makes the following statement: The Negroes in America spend about $300,000,000 a year for food. This estimate makes due allowance for those who are employed as domestic servants and get a portion of their food without actual cost. If you take your pencil and begin to figure over this enormous annual outlay you reach some very alarming conclusions. In the first place, food products offer the retailer an average profit of 25 per cent, and 25 per cent of $800,000,000 is $150,000,000, or the amount of profit made from the annual food expenditure of Negroes. Suppose we go further with our figures and distribute this $150,000,000 among, say, 20,000 retail establishments. We will find that we can pay each proprietor $250 per year, give him a bookkeeper at $1,000 per year, a clerk at $40 per month, a delivery boy at $20 per month, a horse and wagon and still have a balance of $50,000,000 for rent, heat, light, advertising, extension and other incidents. And here is employment for 100,000 people. But our figures must not stop here. These 20,000 retailers must spend $450,000,000 a year, for goods, and these goods come from wholesalers, commission merchants and manufacturers. Granting 10 per cent profit to the producers and necessary middlemen, we have the handsome sum of $4,500,000 each year which could be distributed among say fifty factories and 200 wholesalers and commission merchants, each earning an average yearly profit in excess of $20,000. This annual profit would be divided among proprietors, managers, traveling salesmen, city salesmen, clerks and laborers, giving employment to about 50,000 more people. Thus we see that if the groo undertook to feed himself we would have fully 20,000 successful business enterprises, would circulate among the race $154,500,000 each year in salaries and wages. This incentive employment for the groo would 50,000 colored peo- 500,000够 wages for the ment for it ple. GET WORKED SUNDAY SCH Forecast of Plans for Meeting at Birmingham. Next June. Nashville, Teen. Once more the announcement is made by Secretary Henry Allen Boyd of the Sunday school congress that the forces are lining up for the 1915 meeting. The sessions are to be held at Birmingham, Ala., from June 9 to 14, inclusive. The secretary's office is a hostile of activity. Letters are pouring in from every section of the United States. The Sunday school workers are planning and working to have increased delegations. All of the front line Sunday schools, many of them having been made so by their connection with the congress, seem to never tire of telling of the advantages offered by the organization and the encouragement brought about and the enthusiasm engendered by the regular meetings of the Sunday school congress in the past. The secretary announces that four brass bands have signified their intention of serving the congress forces in the Birmingham meeting. The first to give notice was the Roy Cadet band of Philadelphia. This musical aggregation is connected with the Zion Baptist church, pastored by Rev. Albert W. Moore, D. D. It is regarded as one of the most efficient musical organizations before the public. The next is the Tuggle Institute band of Alabama. While this is a school aggregation, it is made up of boys that have made good. The third is the regular cadet band from the national cadet headquarters at Austin, Tex. General Crawford and Lieutenant General Lott both said that these boys would come along with the regular battalion that is to be brought out of Texas. The fourth is the National Baptist Publishing Board band that made such a successful hit in piloting the Sunday school congress special train on its way to Muskogee. The Sunday schools have already begun to elect their delegates; and departmental conductors have agreed to bring their departments up to a higher order. The announcement of the reduced rites, declares the secretary, is to be made earlier this year than heretofore in order that there might be a special lineup and more special train features. The state of Oklahoma is the first state thus far to announce a special train. They declare that they will leave Muskogee with a full train and pick up more delegates on route to Birmingham, where they hope to reach with a larger special train than has ever been engaged by any religious body of the kind. Big Field For Our Music In America. Speaking of music composed, sung and played by our race, James Reese Europe of New York, leader of the now famous orchestra which bears his name, says: "I firmly believe that there is a big field for the development of Negro music in America. We already have a number of composers of great ability, the two foremost being Harry Burleigh and Will Marion Cook. Mr. Burleigh is remarkable for his development of Negro themes, and Mr. Cook is a true creative artist." WACO PEOPLE ARE MOVING FORWARD Personal Investigation of Conditions as They Exist Among Our People Shows That Great Progress Is Being Made Along Many Lines—Good Influence of R. L. Smith. BY RALPH W. TYLER. Waco, Tex.—Should an excursion from many of the northern cities be run annually to this city, those who took advantage of such an excursion would see an object lesson in thrift and commercial progress on the part of the 0,000 colored people who regard this town as their home, and away down here in Waco my eyes were opened to the possibilities of commercial success among the race. Among these 0,000 hustling people of the race I was made to recall Dr. Washington's enlightening command in his Atlanta exposition address a number of years ago. "Let down your bucket where you are." The colored people in Waco have not only dipped down their buckets, but they are hauling or pulling them up overflowing with the richness of success. Waco has a total population of 39,000. Just one-fourth of this population is identified with our race. They had nothing to start with. Their tools were crude with which they were supplied to erect or mine, but nevertheless they have succeeded in accumulating property here whose aggregate value reaches $1,000,000, and they have succeeded in establishing and maintaining business enterprises that represent an investment of $250,000, and they have been sufficiently provident to have deposited in the banks to their credit $150,000, $60,000 of which is deposited in the bank run by our people in this town. As evidence of the soundness of this bank, of its careful management, I learned while here that the other banks in this city will readily undertake for a depositor any amount the desires to deposit in this new bank. 12. L. Smith- Smith's Smith is a familiar name. established this bank and continues to guide its destinies. He is a man composed of little else save energy and ability. This community of 1,000 colored people own and support eight grocery stores, two tailor shops, three insurance companies, two shop repairing shops, two millinery stores, one music store, one bank, two moving picture theaters, eight restaurants, one power vacuum cleaning company, three printing establishments, eight blacksmith shops, one drug store, one confectionery, one jewelry shop, ten barber shops, two wood yards, one overall factory, four real estate firms and two undertakers. To illustrate how enterprising the colored real estate men here are, I might state that I was given an automobile ride to a new addition just recently laid out by W. S. Willis, the leading real estate dealer, and was surprised to see that before placing a single lot on the market he had first laid out and macadamized the streets, laid granolithic sidewalks and erected at the entrance to the addition a large, beautiful stone arch some thirty feet high. Had I not been told this addition was the property of colored men, platted for colored buyers, I would have thought it an addition especially designed for rich and aristocratic families. There are three fairly good schools, with twenty-four teachers. Paul Quin college, an A. M. E. institution, which is doing pewworthy work, is also located here, although greatly hand-drawn for the need of funds to erect more suitable and comfortable buildings. The great A. M. E. church should take a livelier interest in providing for this institution than it has in the past. Three A. M. E. three, three A. M. E. eight Baptist and one C. M. E. churches, a total of fifteen, fill the "long-flow want," as we newspaper men would say, for religious training. If the brother in the south is long on any one thing more than another it is religion, and it requires many churches to satiate his appetite for religion. Wake, like many other southern cities, might get along with fewer churches, perhaps. The teachers, twenty-four in number, with the two dentists, one pharmacist and eight physicians, make up what might be called Waco's professional class. There is no colored lawyer here, though the field is open to one of ability and hustle. R. L. Smith to use the vernacular of the street, "the big noise" down here. It was Bob Smith who organized the Farmers' Improvement society, the biggest thing in Texas. It was Bob Smith who organized and has successfully conducted the bank here. It is Bob Smith who injects considerable of the hustle to be found among the race in Waco. But working with him, just earnest and just as achieving, are a number of progressive men of the race among whom are Dr. J. W. Frida, H. C. Johnson, H. R. Ellis, M. Hyson, L. Dennis, John Patterson, M. H. Phillips, S. A. Ackerman, W. S. Willis, G. Connor, J. H. Hines, J. P. Carter, Thomas Wilson and last, but not least, Mrs. R. L. Smith, most intelligent and thorough business woman. GENERAL VON KLEIST. New and hitherto unpublished photograph of General von Kleist, the brilliant cavalry commander of the German army. TURKS RUSH LARGE ARMIES INTO EGYPT Invading British Forces in Asiatic Turkey Befeat Ottoman Troops---Conflicting Statements On Naval Battle. London, Eng.-While the Turks Wednesday were rushing large bodies of troops into Egypt, with seize of the Suez canal as the objective of their operations, the invading British forces in Aslantic Turkey were defeating a considerable Ottoman force at Karna. News of the bloody engagement at Karna was given out officially by the foreign office. Dispatches from Cairo state that great military activity prevails at the Suez canal. Troops and warships are being assembled and all civilians are leaving the vicinity. Important reconnaisances are being made. Detachments of Turkish troops have been sighted at three other points to the east of the Suez canal, but no fighting has resulted except that in the vicinity of Elkantara. In this engagement the Turks opened fire at long range with mountain guns. The British replied with machine guns and rifles. Fighting in this locality indicates that not only has a Turkish invasion of Egypt been begun, but that Turkish forces have penetrated a considerable distance into Egypt. Conflicting statements as to how many British and German war craft were sunk in the battle in the North sea off Heligoland Sunday continue. An official statement given out at Berlin stoutly asserts one British battle cruiser and two torpedo boat destroy, ers were sunk by German shells, while Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty in a report to the admiralty says that, besides the German battle cruiser Blueloch, known to have been sunk, two Toutron cruisers were seriously damaged. He also reports German prisoners said the German cruiser Kolberg was sunk by the British. New and hitherto unpublished photograph of General Foch, commander of the Ninth army corps of France. Lansing, Michigan. A majority of Michigan women wage earners receive salaries below the cost of comfortable living, according to the report of the state commission of inquiry into wages of women, just submitted to Gov. Ferris. The wages of 50,220 women were reported on, and it was stated 25,810 of those women received less than $5 a week. Many of the women questioned said $10 a week was a necessary wage for proper food, clothing and recreation. IN VATICAN JUSTICE & STRENGTH MAKES PLEA FOR THE UNEMPLOYED Gov. Willis Submits Special Message to General Assembly of Ohio. SUGGESTS WAYS TO AID IDLE TOILERS Buckeye State Executive Says, "I Am Not Now Asking for More Liberal Contributions to Support the Bread Line." Columbus, O.—"I am not now asking for more liberal contributions to support the bread line, but for such legislative action as will tend to eliminate the need for charity by aiding in the solution of the problem of unemployment." So says Gov. Willis in a special message to the general assembly, which is as follows: "To the General Assembly: In a former message I called your attention to the existing public free employment agencies and, recommended the establishment, of three additional districts and offices. This recommendation was embodied in the message for the purpose of enabling the free employment agencies to minister more completely to the needs of the unemployed. "I have no desire to dwell on the unhappy industrial conditions existing in Ohio and other states, to exaggerate distress or promote hysteria at a time when cool, deliberate thinking and rational effective action are necessary. Nevertheless, the fact remains that thousands of able bodied, willing, honest men and women are out of employment in Ohio this very hour. Not a Problem of Charity. "Many individuals, inspired by lofty purposes, are giving earnest thought to the solution of this serious problem. Voluntary organizations are at work in different parts, of the state doing what they can to find work for those who desire not charity but crave an opportunity to eat their bread in the sweat of their own forces. This is not a problem of charity; philanthropy agencies will always be taxed in caring for the maimed, the aged, the sick and the unfortunate. In this class of cases the generosity of our people has not been and will not be appealed to in vain; their benevolence, stimulated by acute conditions, can be depended upon to rise to the emergency. But it should be clearly understood that the problem to which I am now inviting your attention is not one of charity or benevolence. "I am not now asking for more liberal contributions to support the bread line, but for such legislative action as will tend to eliminate the need, for charity by aiding in the solution of the problem of unemployment. This is a problem of economies, not of benevolence. It is believed that your prompt and earnest consideration of this question will be an inspiration to all and will result in at least partial alleviation of fixing conditions. "I suggest that the free employment agencies be enlarged, connected to cooperative plan with local authorities, voluntary organizations and individuals and encouraged to accelerate work for those who 'desire an opportunity for honest toll. I have in mind not only temporary alleviation, but the development of a permanent system for constant, active, aggressive, aid in industrial conditions. In every community there is work which is being put off until spring. In many instances this could be as well done now. Through co-operation with local organizations and 'public-spirited individuals the free employment agencies will bring to the attention of our citizens the importance of having such work done now when the payment for it will make unnecessary the ministration of charity and drive want from many an honest, humble home. "A karret can be cleaned, inside repairing can be done, old faces, and dislipated buildings can be torn down and some classes of structures erected as well in January, when labor is plenty, as in June, when labor is scarce. If work is to be done in the future which can as well be done now, let every effort be put forth for its acceleration and early commencement. "The co-operation I have suggested between the public free employment agencies and local authorities will aid much in finding present employment for all without financial loss to any. Let winter work be encouraged, and may I add, that I trust all local voluntary organizations and individuals will actively aid the public free employment agencies in every possible way. "I recommend further that you consider whether wise emergency measures may be adopted by the general assembly which will alter some of the preliminary proceedings ordinarily required by law in public work to the end that such work planned for next spring be commenced now where it can be done without perceptible, in crease of cost or undue depletion of the public funds." Two Are Killed With Hammer. "New York City.-A birthday party culminated in a double murder when Marian Franklin, 30, a girl stenographer from Wilkesbarre, Pa., and a man believed to be John Christopher, an engineer, were beaten to death with a hammer in an apartment house." The police arrested Joseph Krielegger, jailor of the apartment, on suspicion. He professed innocence. Miss Franklin had been in this city for three months and lived with the Krielegers. The party was in her honor. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year. $1.50.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1915. In spite of the activity of the U. S. Courts of Alabama and Georgia, several years ago, peopnage is still being practiced in those; states and doubt less in others of that section of the country. Recently a prominent and wealthy white physician of Alabama was brought into court and charged with having held an Afro-American in such service for five years, for a $50 debt. Isn't it too bad! Republican party workers of the state robbed of "Taft" prosperity; kept off the pay roll during years in which the Democrats increased the high cost of living, and taxed to support Ohio democratic political machines, find now after triumphantly electing a governor, that Mr. Willis is forced not only to reduce the number of "the pieces of pie" but to lessen the size of them as well, because the Democrats have so long wasted in riotous living the substance of the state. "Twas ever thus! Gen. "Pancho" Villa's alleged connection with the Johnson-Willard fight at Jaurex, Mexico, in March, is already securing him all kinds of criticism and abuse from prejudiced American newspaper writers. It looks like they never will forgive Jack for winning, fairly and squarely, the heavy-weight championship of the world. Too bad, isn't it? Jack "should worry." Said prejudiced newspaper writers do not seem to realize, either, how supremely ridiculous they are making themselves and the publications they impose upon with their rot. D. E. Evans, of the Curtis Publishing Co., the company that publishes the Ladies' Home Journal and the Saturday Evening Post, said recently in a business men's magazine: "The magazines automatically eliminate for the advertisers the unprofitable public illiterates, foreign-born and Negroes, because these are not included in the magazine leading class." What Mr. Evans says, in the foregoing, is, to say the least, a gratuitous and injurious insult that ought to be resented, in a proper way, by the thousands of our people, patrons of the Saturday Evening Post and the Ladies' Home Journal, both published in Philadelphia. And we do not think it necessary to tell them what the "proper way" is, either; they know. The race press is indebted to Mr. Albon L. Holsey of Tuskegee, Ala., Institute, for calling its attention to the Evans' statement. In the course of the investigation now on, of John M. Sullivan, the first white minister to Santo Domingo in our memory, at least, and an appointee of President Wilson and Secretary of State Wm. J. Bryan, one of the individuals alleged to have had undue influence with the American official representative is quoted as having declared that the profits of his deals were to be shared by Secretary Bryan, ex-Gov. Glynn of New York and a New Jersey congressman less known to fame. The ex-governor has entered an emphatic and indignant denial of his connection in any manner with Dominican affairs. Secretary Bryan, has expressed a desire to see the complete testimony before he makes any comment. But fair-minded people do not need a denial from Mr. Bryan. They know that he was not interested in such deals. His offending was in looking upon the Dominican post as a place for "deserving Democrats." His own letter convicts him of an attempt to reward party workers at the expense of the Dominican treasury. Sufficient care was not shown in selecting the "deserving Democrats," it would appear from developments of the investigation. THAT "DOCTRINE OF SUR- RENDER." What good will come of your contents and protestations: Are these merely to vent your feelings and to ex press your disapproval of things in general; or are they intended to improve conditions? If they are the simple outbursts of engendered opposition they shall come to naught; and if they are the results of a longing for improved conditions, you will go a long way toward its security, and the good cause. The first step toward improving things in your home, your community or your church, is to be more dutiful, more loyal, more kindly disposed and more interested. One day's real devoted service to a cause is worth a whole year's fault finding and complaint.—From Tuskogee, Ala, N & I. Institute. The above is the kind of rot, a part of Dr. Booker T. Washington's "doctrine of surrender," that is continually being sent out to our people with a view of discouraging them from contending and protesting when they are mistreated, insulted etc. It is positively silly as well as maliciously harmful for any person to tell a people, harassed as we are from almost every standpoint in this prejudiced country, that they must "first improve things in their own homes, community or church," and "be more dutiful, more loyal" &c., before contending for their rights and protesting against insults, wrongs &c. It is this kind of rot that is rapidly making cowards, "jim-crow" Negroes and the like, of some of the weaker members of the race, and doing us almost if not quite as much harm as the most prejudiced of our southern and northern enemies. STOP IT! ANTI-INTERMARRIAGE BILLS The predominating tendency of the American nation towards anti-Negroism which appears to be the controlling sentiment in all sections of the country and among all classes and conditions of white American citizens, should arouse the black race to activity in defense of its very existence. No more cutting and significant insult could have been offered our people in this country than that abominable execution clause in the imminent Bill. Bill the S. Senate passed almost unanimously, but which was killed on being referred to the House. The very fact that this clause was incorporated in the bill, and approved by the first legislative body of the nation, is in itself sufficient evidence of the intense hostility that is being evinced toward the race and which threatens its existence as citizens and human beings. The latest anti-Negro legislation lowered the rank of our race, a more decayed nature than the first. The inter-marriage bill which passed the lower house of Congress this week is not only one-sided and unfair but it is designed to corrupt the morals of our race and to safeguard the white race from the penalty of lust and immorality. In making it a crime for the white race and the black race to colonize Columbia, the evil-inspired legislators who have been trying to hammer this issue through for the past decade should have also made it criminal for the races to cohabit. If this bill becomes a law it will permit the base and lustful white man to debauch and destroy women of the race with impunity, just as is being done in every community of the South to day. If this bill is viewed favorably, it will make it easier for national legislation of the same nature on the subject—Petersburg (Va.) Colored Virginian. Our confreze has "put it" splendidly. It was but a few years ago that Ohio Afro-Americans went through just such a fight as our people of the District of Columbia have on their hands right now, with that miserably malicious anti-intermarriage bill. It is vicious in the extreme, from a race view-point, and since their legislators are ours also, it is absolutely necessary that all of us be greatly concerned and esteem it our duty to get in touch with the U. S. Senators of our various states where we can, and at once, too. Hardly one of them will have the view of the bill that an intelligent member of the race, male or female, would give them, and in many cases where least expected, will do as scores of Ohio democratic legislators did when we approached them in person in the House of Representatives at Columbus, and explained the viciousness of the bill to them,—change their positions on the bill, vote against and help to kill it. The Virginian is right, too, in intimating that we must be vastly more active in our own defense and far more aggressive along other lines. READ OUR PAPERS. Some Good Reasons Why They Should Enter All of Our Homes. Monmouth, IL, Jan. 12, 1915. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Please allow me space for the following: Just so long as members of the race will take the white man's journal and read it in preference to their own, just so long are we going to be divided. This, because the white man always paints the Negro as a very colorful figure, and reads it has him short on virtues and long on vices. So when the Negro reads the white man's paper in preference to his own he harms one no half as much as he does himself. One result is he becomes discouraged and says there is no hope for his race. That keeps us divided, simply because we get nothing but the dark side of the picture. The getting together, as a race, helped much more than the fun-factor reading the white man's paper in preference to his own. The intelligent white takes one or two papers from the South, that he may be well informed what that section is saying and doing, and also takes one or two northern papers that he may be well informed as to the northern states. As a race, we must do the same thing as race journals. We must learn to read our papers are telling the truth. There are so many who will not believe what they read in our papers, and some will not believe our preachers, doctors or lawyers. Let us make this as our motto, for this year: "Together, let us live and together let us die". New Fossil Bed. Near Fargo, N. D., a bed of marine fossils has been uncovered. Scientists find evidence in the deposit to support the theory now and then advanced that the Dakotas at one time formed the bed of a great sea. The discovery was made by W. T. Stanton, paleontologist with the United States geological survey, and by him as well as by others is looked upon as putting an end to further debate on the subject. The presence of the fossil formations can be accounted for only on the basis that at one time water covered the area to a considerable depth. It used to be the case that a woman colored up at a compliment. Now she colors up in the hope of being paid one. The horrors of war are already becoming apparent. The world faces an increase in the price of champagne. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Holland, retired caterer of Philadelphia, who died in December. Bob Scanlon, a light heavyweight, has been made a second lieutenant in one of the Algerian regiments at the front, for bravery on the field of battle in France. Railroad officials in N. Y. City deny a report from Detroit that the Michigan Central railway was testing a plan whereby our dining-car waiters were to be replaced by white waitresses. Alexander M. Gilbert, court stenographer in Pemberton square, Boston, has just appointed an official court stenographer Plymouth county Mass. in place of Walter Rogers, recently promoted to Norfolk county. Mr. Gilbert is a son of the late William T. Gilbert, for many years stenographic reporter of the Boston Globe. Recently the proprietor of the Victoria theater, Harrisburg, Pa., refused to seat our people in his theater in any place but the gallery. "He sued the judge," George's attorney, the jury convicted him. He asked for a new trial and an arrest of judgment and was refused both. Out in Seattle, Wash., there is a small Afro-American who has always earmark of the race. He speaks Chinese, attends their missions, lives with them and is apparently happy and contented. The other day he was approached by a member of the race who passed by where he was at play with the team, addressed he seemed surprised, gave little or no attention, and continued on with the game he was playing with his Chinese teammates. At the Rose Toumament, Pasadena, Cal., on Jan 1, there 150,000 people. Howard Drew, the world champion spinner, won five times out of five times up. In the 100 and the 100 yard dashes he hoaked on each time. H. Johnson, also a member of the race and Umpire of Southern California, was second. In the tournament the athletes competed and nets were collected. Our boys took eight first and two second prizes. "Goin' some," eh. Lynching would cease in short order if the Colored people of this country resented the tawful murdering of white men, the sword they should—with the rifle and sword. The ballot will not settle it definitely. Neither will commercial nor intellectual achievements. But mobs will not lynch when they are assured of a "come back". N. Y. City, Amsterdam News. Spartansburg, S. C., an Afro-American was tried and acquitted of the charge of criminally assaulting a white woman and a mob gathered and tried to dynamite the jail. A little later the truth leaked out that the crime had been committed by two white men. They were each found guilty, only three years in the penitentiary. Charles Monk, editor of the "New Era", is making a number of serious charges in public print against Bishop Tyre. Mr. Monk is an A. M. E. preacher himself, and he lays four charges against him. He argues that our judgment are too serious to be passed by lightly. If Bishop Tyre does not do something to correct, or answer these charges, soon, the Tribune will be forced to take a hand in the conflict and publicly air these accusations—Philadelphia Weekly Tribune. Chicago's "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. attested the trouble, the result of prejudice in that city, public schools, which has kept our people there busy ever since, trying not only, to fight down the increased prejudice but also to prevent the establishment of "jim-crow" schools. The Detroit Leader will please note this fact. Our Penny Savings bank at Nashville, Teen, recently declared a 6 per cent increase in Savings bank of Savannah, Ga., another race enterprise, declared a 7 per cent annual dividend, last week. We are wondering just how long the American people are going to stand for one-half of the country being governed by mob rule while the other half professes to be law-abiding, using the courts as the proper means for the enforcement of an antisocial evidence determine. There is nothing in it to say that there were fewer lynchings in the south than at any past period. The fact that there were any lynchings at all, and that the mob at any time is allowed to take the law in its hands and murder indiscriminately whoever is wrong to a disgrace to American civilization. Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. While a passenger in the "jim-crow" coach of a Texas & Pacific train, the night of Nov. 29, 1914, Mr. George Daniel, a well-known resident of New Orleans, La., was attacked by two white brutes, seriously injured and robbed of $18. He also lost his baggage. The conductor and crew failed to aid him when appealed to and he was kicked in the face. The Canal. For these indignities and this outrage, he has sought redress in the courts and last week his attorneys filed a petition in the U. S. District Court to recover damages to the amount of $6,068. Good-for Mr. Daniels! Florenz Lengzfeld, famous for his production of the "Folles", from year to year, has shown his appreciation of the ability of the Afro-American musicians to play the entire score of the "Midnight Frolic," to be given on the roof of the New Amsterdam Theater, N. Y. City. For several months eight men, under the leadership of Ford T. Dabney, have been playing there for the public dance. ing, and the way in which these men worked proved to be an attraction to the roof. Dabney has been under the watchful eye of Mr. Ziegfeld for several and the latter now shows his confidence by opening that particular door of opportunity, which for the first time in history has been opened to Colored men of N. Y. City. Never before has an orchestra of our race played for a production of "running on Broadway," and the band of the "Danse de Follies" has been placed in Dabney's hands, including the white orchestra which alternates.

THADDEUS W. TAYLOR A Leading Manufacturer of Hair Goods, Has Purchased a Splendid Store—Why We Should Patronize Him. Detroit, Mich.—Our people here have every reason to feel proud of the latest step in the long march of progress of our respected fellow-citizen, Thaddeus W.

It is not to be a little dingy hole in the wall, but a first-class, up-to-date place. It might be information to The Gazette's many readers and reason for great race pride, if they were made aware of the fact that the place now occupied by the Taylor store is the largest exclusive hair-goods store in Detroit. Exon of itself that should excite the most sincere pride among members of the race can the dozens of ladies engaged in the hair-business in this city to seek out his place and give him an undivided support.

His factory work which has been conducted in Howell, Mich., for the past ten or twelve years, is to be used by the race to train the next six months. Any person of the race in Ohio or Michigan engaged in this business as agent, hairdresser or proprietor, should be ashamed to buy a single article without consulting him for prices, which, he assures the writer, are quite as reasonable as are to be found anywhere. Our ladies are requested to inquire, when dealing with agents, if they (the agents), depending upon our trade, are working with the Taylor Manufacturing company, which depends on people for at least a part of its trade, and has a right to complain of its when it does not receive it.
