THIRTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 33. HOLIDAY HOLIDAY GERMAN CRUISER IN AMERICAN PORT Vessas Arrival at Newport News Raises Interesting Questions for U. S. TEUTON SHIP HAD SUNK AMERICAN BOAT Holds Captain and Crew of Destroyed Schooner, Which, Had on Board Wheat Intended for Some British Seaport. Washington, D. C.—The arrival of Newport News of the German auxiliary cruiser Prussi Eitel Frederick raised interesting questions for the United States. The principal problem presented was to establish the status of the 326 so-called prisoners of war which the vessel brought into port. There have been quite a number of cases where warships of belligerents have entered ports of the United States to obtain repairs or provision, but few, if any, cases where prisoners were brought in. Not Prisoners of War? It was said at the German embassy that the 326 persons on board the Prinz Elitel Frederick are not prisoners of war, but simply survivors of the vessels sunk by the cruiser. The usual disposition of survivors in such cases is to put them ashore at the nearest convenient port. In this instance it is Newport News. Therefore, the survivors will be given their liberty. In the opinion of officials of the embassy the most troublesome question between Germany and the government at Washington arising out of the arrival of the Prinz Elitel Frederick is the application of the immigration laws to the persons brought in by the censor. Copplinger of Immigration Cauaniti said he would not be able to comment on the matter until the question comes up to him for settlement. It is possible that the survivors will simply be turned over to the consuls of their various countries with the understanding that every effort will be made to return them to their homes. Sinks American Schooner. Sinks American Schooner. The discovery that the Prinz Eitel Frederick had sunk the American schooner, William T. Frye of Baltimore, raised an unexpected issue. The captain and crew of 25 of the William T. Frye are on board the Prinz Eitel Frederick. The schooner on board wheat intended for a British port. The request of the captain of the German cruiser made to the Newport shipbuilders for repairs was referred to the secretary of the navy. Secretary Daniels at once communicated with Admiral Beaty, commandant of the Norfolk navy yard, and directed him to send an officer to Newport News to make an investigation. Admiral Beaty reported as follows: "Prinz Eitel Frederick, German navy, transferred from command of gunboat in China. Officers are regular German officers. The crew came from the Kaiserlinz Lutz. The captain said that the merchant captain is on board now. On examination made at sea the chief engineer thinks it will take about two or three weeks to make repairs. The captain says he thinks much longer time necessary and says ship must be docked and repairs made to propeller and rudder and auxiliary machinery. Bollers are in bad condition. He thinks the ship will have to be repaired. Repairs cannot be made in time to be allowed to proceed. He estimates, 1,500 tons of coal the smallest amount needed to take him to German port. Ship is very foul. All auxiliary running." Crulser May Be Interned. Under ordinary circumstances a belligerent warship entering a neutral port is required to leave within 24 hours. When it is in need of repairs it may receive special dispensation permitting it to remain long enough to make repairs and receive coal sufficient to enable it to make the nearest German port. The belief in Washington is that the Prinz Eitel Frederick, even if it makes repairs, will not leave port. The vessel is intended for a commerce destroyer and is no match for any of the British armored cruisers which are said to be waiting for her. The German embassy Wednesday had not received a report from the captain, but the opinion was expressed here that the cruiser would be interned. In this case the officers and crew will be interdicted necessary to prevent any possibility of the vessel leaving the United States may dismantle it to a sufficient extent to make it impossible for it to go. The Prinz Eitel Frederick was a vessel of the North-German Lloyd line on the run between Bremen and Japan, via the Suea canal. At the breakout of the war the vessel was in the far east and was fitted out at Tsingtao. Columbus, O. — An official report given out at the state insurance department stated a discrepancy in excess of $34,000 had been found in the accounts of C. C. Daniel, who recently resigned as secretary of the United Commercial Travelers, a national organization with headquarters in this city. Mr. Daniel and his wife recently went to Mississippi for his health. Representatives of the Commercial Travelers organization and of the bonding companies which stand acreets for Daniel were at the hearing. ALPRED. T. AIKENS INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE STUDENTS OF COLLEGE LIVE ON 10 CENTS A DAY Four Occupy' Two Rooms in Which They Do All of Their Washing. Cooking and Preparing Lessons. Columbus, O.-Four students of the college of agriculture at Ohio State university are proving to the faculty of that institution that a student can go through the state university on approximately 10 cents a day. They are Karl S. McCoomb, Junior, of Napoleon, O.; Dean Bliss, junior, of Avon; Arthur Gabeler, senior, of Orville, and Glen Swanger, junior, of Apple Creek. All four of the students room at the same house and have two rooms. Here they do all of their washing, cooking and studying. McCoomb does all of the buying and its head cook. Every Saturday morning he goes to the market and gets supplies for the week. Here is "Mack"'s own explanation of how the trick is turned: "Fifteen cents a week is sufficient to supply the boys with soup bone and vegetables. Besides this we have all of the bread and milk we want. Two bushels of wheat a year is sufficient for breakfast. We cook the wheat at night and in the morning it is ready for breakfast. Some times we grind the wheat in the coffee-grinder and then cook it. It is just the stuff for a fellow who is studying." The four students are some of the best at the university, and they all come from farms. Each one pays $2 a month for the rooms they have. Fifty cents a month for each one covers the gas bill for cooking and heating and $1.50 a month gives them sufficient money to purchase eatables. "Sometimes we get a box from home and when we do we have a party." explains Mack. "I don't like to go to school in this manner, but I want a college education and am going to get it, that's why I'm going and going cheap." DAMAGES AMOUNTING TO $130,000 ARE ASKED. AS RESULT OF MYSTERIOUS FIRES. Kenton, O.—Reports on file in the state fire marshal's office at Columbus will figure largely, it is said, in the sensational group of nine damage suit cases filed here against the Standard Oil Co. amounting to $130,000. The cases grew out of six mysterious coal oil explosions occurring between March 7 and 14, 1913, in which six people lost their lives, one was maimed for life and 10 were seriously burned. Tests made by chemists employed by Fire Marshal Zaber are said to have shown the coal oil was almost as strong as gasoline. Oil Inspector Montgomery of Elnday, who tested oil as it came from the cans here, also made tests and reported oil normal. Married and Buried Many. Warren, O.—Rev. Robert Summan, a Presbyterian minister, who is credited with marrying and burying more people in the past 50 years than any other minister in northwestern Ohio, is dead in Victoria, O. He was born in New York state 83 years ago. Goethals May Retire Panama.—Mjj. Gen. G. W. Goethals, governor of the Panama canal zone, in a speech at the annu] banquet of the Society of the Chagres announced his probable retirement as governor within a year. He said he had requested that he be relieved in favor of a younger man and that the request undoubtedly would be franted. Mjj. Gen. Goethals declared he had been opposed to his own promotion, together with other officers, when civilian canal employees had been overlooked. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAR. 13. 1915. THOUSANDS HEAR MADDEN SPEAK THOUSANDS HEAR MADDEN SPEAK Bethel Literary Gives Illinois Congressman Big Ovation. LAUDS COLORED SOLDIERS. With "Liberty and Justice" His Themes the Noted Chicago Legislator Tells of Fight Against Immigration and Intermarriage Legislation—Believes in Equal Chance for All Americans. Washington.—An audience of 2,000 persons crowded into the Metropolitan A. M. E. church at the February meeting of the Bethel Literary and Historical association eager to hear Congressman Martin R. Madden of Chicago deliver an address on "Liberty and Justice." The meeting had been well advertised through the efforts of Miss Marie A. D. Madre, the energetic president of the Bathing Literary society, and the audience that turned out represented the best thought and patriotic spirit of the nation. Representative Madden is now conceded to be the race's sturdiest champion in the lower house of congress, and with his admirable speeches on the immigration bill and the intermarriage bill fresh in their minds the people were in a mood to give him "the time of his life" and they did. Representative Madden was introduced by Miss Madre, who said: "Dear friends, your main mission tonight. I am sure, is to hear the speaker. We honore the speaker of the evening, and we are glad to show our appreciation, of his services, rendered so often for us in the past. We are glad to have him with us. All Negro Americans—in fact, I think all good Americans—would be glad to put him into Woodrow Wilson's place. He comes from the home of the immortal presi- HON. MARTIN B. MADDER. dent. Abraham Lincoln. [Long and continued applause.] It gives me very great pleasure to present to you the Hon. Martin B. Madiden of the state of Illinois." Mr. Madden in part said: "It is always embarrassing to me to be shown such consideration" as you show me here tonight. I am of humble origin. I come from the state of Lincoln, and I am the son of the mother of seven boys, six of whom volunteered to serve in Lincoln's army and left their lives upon the battlefield [apphure], and I have devoted my life to the accomplishment of the things which, Lincoln's army left undone. They fought for liberty; all the things that could have been done for humanity as the result of the civil war have not been done, but while there are life and men to fight the battle there is hope for ultimate success." Telling of the valor of the Negro in the early struggles of this nation for freedom from Great Britain and referring to the brave conduct of the black soldiers who fought with General Jackson at New Orleans, Mr. Madden painted in glowing colors the splendid work of the Negro in the civil war. He said: "And then in the civil war, when all was dark and gloomy, when there was doubt about the outcome of the contest, when it appeared that we had lost the cause of the Union, who was it that came to the success of the array? Three hundred and sixty-one thousand black soldiers, without whose assistance we would be living in a divided country today, but as the result of whose pagination we are living under a single flag in a country of which we can all well be proud. These men fought in 449 engagements during the civil war, and they left 38,000 of their dead on the battlefield. To say that that race is not, entitled to the best consideration that can be given it by the nation is to be unjust. I know no Negro, no Irishman, no Swede, no German, no Dane, nor Norwegian. I only know Americans, and I come here tonight to speak to you not because you are Negroes, but because you are my fellow men. I was reared by a mother who taught me that every man was born equal, and I but speak the language of her heart that throbbed with patrolton during her lifetime when I speak on the door of the house of representatives for justice for every man, woman and child in America. "While I would be the last man in the world to encourage, by word or thought or deed, anything but loyalty and devotion to the flag and to the government. I have sometimes been amazed to think that one-tenth of the population of the United States—10, 900,000 Americans—who have to all intents and purposes been extircated from the privileges of the sovereignty of which they should be an active part, are loyal to the government. "My hope is that some day there will be a sufficient number of men elected from that free section of the nation north of the Mason and Dixon thru to both houses of congress to shape policies in such a way that the men and women of your race south of Mason and Dixon's line will have the right to express their views at the ballot box and to send their own men—men of their own race—to speak for them and to express their views, to act as their megaphones in shaping the laws and policies of the country of which you have a right to expect to be an integral part. There is no justice in the present situation. No man living can justify the attitude assumed toward your people in the south. "I would be unworthy to speak as an American representative in the halls of congress if I were not to lift my voice in defense of a people who have been so discriminated against, and 12 the time ever comes that I lose the courage to do that which I believe to be right in your defense, then I will speak to you, to speak to me, if I myself coming around a corner." In reeling his views as to the basis of representation in the house of representatives Mr. Madden related an incident that happened years ago when the matter was up for action in congress. As a bit of unwritten history it was of more than ordinary interest, and the audience gave adiisignal evidence of its pleasure in having the speaker let out the secret and take them into his confidence. Mr. Madden said: "Personally I would have the representation in the house of representatives based upon the number of people who are allowed to vote instead of the number of people, who live in a state. And if that were true we would have some representation from your race, because those people down there of my race south of the Mason and Dixxon line's would be compelled to respect the voice of the sovereign voter. "I am going to tell you a secret that I have never told in a public audience before. We had a flippable congress once of twice since here, because we are not as illusive in their views as I am—they are willing to admit that, and I assert it—but I undertook in a cause of Republican members of the house one night to restrict the representation from the southern states until your people had justice done them [prolonged applause], and I came within six votes of carrying the resolution." Mr. Madison said some good things about the discussion in congress anent the immigration bill, which went to its death largely through his vigorous opposition, and to the anti-mixed marriage bill, that is destined to go the same way as soon as it can be reached. On these points the eloquent Illinoisans said: "The legislation which we have recently been called upon to oppose is infinitive. Take the immigration legislation, for example. There was absolutely no reason under the sun for injecting the African exclusion clause into that measure. We won out, but we had to fight for our victory. Take the next case, the case making criminal marriages between blacks and whites in the District of Columbia. That was outrageous, not that I believe in marriages between blacks and whites, for I do, not, and neither do you, but I do, do believe that if a black man and a white woman want to marry it is their business. "I believe that when they do marry the white woman ostracizes herself from her people and the black man ostracizes himself from his people, but if they want to ostracize themselves that is their business. They are not committing any crime, according to my judgment. Let them do it. There are not many of these marriages. Neither race wants to do it. You would rather associate with your own people. It is natural that you should, but I am opposed to the document of the United States that makes it a crime. I am in favor of giving every right of defense to maintain the virtue of the black girls of America that the white women enjoy." Pleading for an Americanism that will not make this republic ashamed of trust when the foreigner comes to our shores and witnesses the treatment we inflict on 10,000,000 patriotic citizens—in a land professed of the free and the home of the brave-Mr. Madden closed with a fervent prayer that the day he may not far distant when there will be an army of courageous men and women of every nationality who will be willing to go on the highways and byways and preach the doctrine of 'equal justice to every man, woman and child, no matter what their color or what their creed.' Success of Mississippi Women's Clubs After twelve years' persistent work the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Missouri has secured a state legislature recommendation of nearly $75,000 for the completion and maintenance of a state industrial home for wayward colored girls.

John Richard Logan and Hie Parishioners' Are Meeting the Needs of the People In the Community—Man of High Ideals, and Broad Vision. 6 BV GEORGE F. KING. Philadelphia.—A study of the great spiritual and social activities now prevalent in this city exhibiting the Christ spirit reveals a character whose life and works are effectively reaching a large number of Afro-Americans in Philadelphia. Here is another striking evidence: of how the church is strengthening the weak and lending strength to those who are striving to make living conditions in this city better. The Rev. John Richard Logan and his church are largely contributing to the influences of the revival spirit started here by the noted Billy Sunday. That there are strong ministers in the race who have not degenerated into selfishness and who are really REV. JOHN R. LOAN, ST. SIMON THE CYRE NIAN R. E. CHURCH. reaching the masses of our people to the extent that godly men of other races are inspired by them is concretely exemplified by the appointment of the Rev. John Richard Logan as minister in charge of St. Simon the Cyrenian P. E. church, this city, by Right Rev. N. S. Thomas, now bishop of Wyoming, who, in appointing the Rev. Mr. Logan in May, 1909, said, "Your name has been recommended to me by so many people in different parts of the country that we feel as though God were leading us to vow." As an indication of the wholesome growth of the church and his ability to meet all classes of our people and direct their activities into channels of higher usefulness, there is now in preparation a class of over eighty persons for confirmation in March. The new church office recently dedicated is very beautiful because of the simplicity of its English Gothic architecture. That the Negroes in the Episcopal church, and especially the parishioner of the Rev. Mr. Logan, are becoming more interested in the cause of missions is exhibited by this church raising the largest contribution for missions. In this section our young people must be reached and kept under wholesome influences. The institutional features, such as basketball teams among the boys and girls, literacy in the well appointed parish hall and the guilds of the church, are developing a strong social life in this community. Consequently hundreds of our young people are being saved. The Sunday school numbers over 400. The Rev. Mr. Logan Was born in Danville, Va., and received his primary education in public schools of Danville and Romooke, Va., and St. Michael school, Charlotte, N. C., afterward entering Biddle University, graduating with honors from the classical course of the college department. After serving as lay reader and teacher at St. Matthias' church, Asheville, N. C., he became a candidate for holy orders under Bishop Horner and was sent to Morganton, N. C., to serve the congregation of St. Stephen's; then he entered Bishop Payne Divinity school, Petersburg, Va., and later graduated with first honors. In a class of five During his senior year at the Divinity school he was temporary minister in charge of hisible St. Stephen's church, Petersburg. After his ordination to the priesthood he was given St. Cyrane's mission, Lincolnton, N. C., in connection with his work at St. Stephen's, Morganton. Previous to his marriage to Miss Mary, L. Harbison, an accomplished young lady of Morganton, he received a call to St. Phillips, Charlestown, W. Va., from which place all came to Philadelphia. All of the bishops under whom he served pay a dining tribute to him, and those work he left reluctantly gave him up. GERMAN SUBMARINE RAMMED AND SUNK U-12 Is Sent to Bottom by a British Torpedo Destroyer, Crew of Teuton Diving Boat Being Captured. London, England.—The British admiralty announced Wednesday night that the German submarine which was rammed and sunk Wednesday, by the British torpedo destroyer Ariel was the U-12 instead of the U-20, as previously stated. The admiralty statement said: "Later and more detailed reports have now been received which establish the fact that the German submarine which was rammed and sunk by H. M. A. Sriel was the U-12, and that out of her crew of 28 the number saved was ten." The location of the sinking of the submarine is not disclosed in the admiralty announcement. The members of the crew captured will be deprived of all special privileges, as was done in the case of the men on board the U-8, and they will be held for trial in connection with the sinking of merchant vessels. The U-12 probably is the submarine which Wednesday sunk the British steamer Blackwood. The U-12 was an older and smaller vessel than the U-8. She was of the older model, and she had the mast 29 tons and she had a maximum cruising radius of 1,200 miles. Her complement consisted of 12 men. The U-12 has taken an active part in the German operations against British shipping. Feb. 21 she sank the small Irish coasting steamer downshire in the Irish sea, after giving the crew five minutes in which to leave their ship. The loss of the U-12 makes the seventh submarine to be destroyed since the beginning of the war, according to statements given out officially in London. These boats are U-15, sunk by the British cruiser Birmingham in August; U-18, rammed and sunk by a British patrol boat Nov. 23, and three unidentified submersibles, officially destroyed lost Oct. 26, Oct. 50 and Feb. 28. The sixth U-12 was destroyed was the U.S.unk of Dover, March 4. Announcement of the sinking of the U-12 came just when the clamour of the British people, and press for trial and execution of captured German submarine crew as pirates was at its height. THAW TO TAKE STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE Will Content That He Was Sane and Had Perfect Right to Leave Asylum by Whatever Means Offered New York City.—"I was sane and had a perfect right to leave the asylum by whatever means offered." will be the plea of Harry K. Thaw when he takes the witness stand, probably today, in his own defense against the charge of conspiracy for which he is oj trial. Sole and complete responsibility for his escape will be accepted by the defendant, who to the extent of his power will absolve from blame the five men jointly indicted with him. He will explain that he acted under advice and in the exercise of his rights as a sane man, accepted the offer of assistance made to him by his associates on trial. "I am a sane man now," Thaw will assert, and his presence on the witness stand will be at once a challenge to the state to prove otherwise and an imposition the judge for his predicament. "They have no reason to counsel Wednesday. At one stroke they will seek to establish his sanity and clear him of the criminal charge hanging over him, so that with a verdict of not guilty from the jury a formal order from a supreme court justice alone will be needed to make him a free man. ALLIED BATTLESHIPS CONTINUE BOMBARDING FORTS OF THE DARDANELLES. Athens, Greece — It is reported that the allied forces bombarding the Bordailles on Monday destroyed 26 mortar guns of Forts Kild Hahr and Nandifa. The bombardment continued Tuesday. A bombardment took place Forts Nov. 18 and 19 upon Kildidach. The rest of the Turkish forts was ready. Four Kildach fell around the British battleship Suffragan and the around the British battleship Nelson. Mine sweeping is continuing; and when finished a combined attack will take place against Kildidach. Firemen Escape Death. Canton, O. - Fireman W. A. Rubin and A. L. Falko were dragged unconscious from a burning building occupied by A. Schlossser & Brother, meat dealers, and the Grojokian Furniture Co. in Marketway. A moment after the fireman were removed a heavy fire extinguisher crashed through the floor where they had fallen. The fire for a time threatened to spread to the McKinley hotel, adjoining, and guests prepared to flee. The estimated loss is $2,000. IN PICCH THE STATEN TELLS CARRANZA TO PROTECT ALL IN CITY Bryan Says Foreigners in Mexican Capital Must Not Be Left to Mercy of Mob. MESSAGE IS DUPLICATED TO OBREGON Secretary of State's Note is Construed by Some as Hint of Intervention by the United States in the Troubled Republic. Washington, D. C.-It is generally agreed that the United States is now nearer to decisive intervention in Mexico than it has been at any time since Vora Cruz was taken by the American naval forces. Secretary Bryan Monday sent Carranza a demand, which is regarded by the diplomats of foreign nations here as an ultimatum which, if not yielded to, commits the United States to definite and determined action. Foreigners Must Be Protected. Mr. Bryan notified Carranza that foreigners in Mexico City must not be left to the mercy of the mob. Carranza was told that the United States looks to him to afford Americans and other foreigners the capital proper protection. He was informed that if he does not give the United States an immediate guarantee that foreigners will be safeguarded this government reserves the right to take such action as it may deem necessary to insure their safety. This message of Secretary Bryan was duplicated to Gen. Obregon, Carranza's military representative in Mexico City. This was done despite Carranza's notification to the state department that discussion of foreign affairs must be with him alone. The representations to Carrannah and Obregon were the result of high pressure exerted on the state department by the ambassadors of Great Britain, France, Austria, and Spain, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, and Dr. Theodor Dumba, the Austrian ambassador, made their representations personally. The foreign diplomats were all elated over Secretary Bryan's action. The comment of one of the most influential members of the state department was: "That ought to make Carrannah sit up and take notice." After the call of the ambassadors at the department it was announced that the diplomatic corps in Mexico City would remain there. Earlier in the day a dispatch had been received from John R. Silliman, the administration's agent at Vera Cruz, stating that Carrannah had invited the corps to come to that city. Statement Follows Defiance. The communication to Carrannah, which was drafted after conferences between President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Counselor Lansing, was given to Secretary Secrecy who worked from Carrannah in his attitude. After Carrannah had notified Secretary Bryan that he intends to order his troops to leave the Mexican capital, the head of the state department gave out this significant statement: "The state department has received a note from Mexico City saying that Carranza has confirmed the announcement that Mexico City will be evacuated and has invited the diplomatic corps to move to Vera Cruz or to any other town under his jurisdiction, stating that this would not be considered by him as an act of recognition. It is understood that the diplomatic corps 'feel that their departure from Mexico would not be best for the foreign interests under their care.' It was said by some officials that the note contained the strongest representations that ever have been made to Carranza. Those who knew the contents of the communication said it did not threaten force and was not in the nature of an ultimatum, but pointed out in explicit language the serious consequences that might follow if the welfare of foreigners continued to be disregarded. VOTE DOWN' ARBITRATION EASTERN OHIO MINERS REJECT PROPOSAL TO COMPROMISE ON WAGE PLAN. Wheeling, W. Va.—The strike in the eastern Ohio Coal field will not be settled by arbitration. This fact became known when announcement was made at the district convention held in Wheeling that a great majority of local unions had voted to refuse arbitration and stand firm for 47 cents. Latest reports received at Columbus, O. by officials of the United Min- Workers show that 67 of the 74 min- workers located have voted to stand firm in their original demands. Three small locals at Flushing, one large one at Crescent and one small one at Wainock voted in favor of arbitration. Bore Blind.

Swoope's new lunch room at 2908 Central Ave. He is a member of the race, one of the best chefs in the city, and serves nothing but clean, wholesome, well-cooked food—the best. Give him a trial and be convinced.—Adv. Judge Gott, last Friday ordered all idle spectators from his courtroom, where uncontested divorce cases were heard, and placed a guard at the door. "Don't permit any person to enter the room unless he has business here," Gott told the bailiff. Gott made his order during the hearing of divorce suit of Mrs. Gilmere, 64th St. against Rev. James M. Gilmere, former presiding elder of the Springfield district, A. M. E. church. Mrs. Gilmere is president of our Cleveland federation of women's clubs. She presented letters that she claims her husband wrote to another woman, and said that these letters had been turned over to her by the woman who had tried to cover the Mrs. Gilmere attentive the proceedings for divorce and was granted the same.

Few Afro-Americans in the city of Chicago realize when they boast of having here a fire company composed exclusively of their own race, that this possession stands directly in the way of the appointment of numerous men of the race who have taken the civil service examination for firemen and stand high upon the eligible list. Appointments of men of color are limited to this one of the many fire companies in Chicago. Its present complement are about twelve officers and men. In no other division of the city government are the Afro-Americans limited in service to one subdivision. An investigation of the records in the city service commission discloses that nearly one hundred Afro-Americans have taken and successfully passed the examination for firemen during the past five years.—Chicago Defender. The revival closed at St John's A. M. E. church, last week Friday evening, with 280 conversions and up to and including Sunday, 301 additions to the church roll. Led by the young evangelist, Miss Mary G. Evans, it proved to be one of the greatest in the history of the church. The meetings were attended by members of all our local authorities, each wearing a uniform and S. S. room being taxed to their utmost capacity. The Cleveland admirers of Miss Evans showed their appreciation of her great work in the community by giving her $498.40 in currency, a beautiful handbag, an umbrella and many other little tokens. Miss Evans left, Saturday for Detroit. From Detroit, she left off here en route. The greatest number in St John's history partook of "the Lord's supper." Rev. George Maxwell, P. E. was present.

MONROE TROTTER Who Headed the Massachusetts Delegation of Members of the Race, Some Months Ago, and Told President Wilson Some Disagreeable Truths. Next Monday evening at Cory M. E. church, cor. Scovill A. E., and E. 36th St. Editor Trotter of the Boston Guardian, will speak, under the auspices of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men: committee in charge, Geo. W. Johnson, R. R. Cheeks, Esq., and J. W. Wills. The Gazette urges our people of this community to turn out on masse to hear him because he is one of the very few Afro-American men in the race. He is unalterably opposed to "jim-crowism" in any form and speaks out fearlessly in his paper and on the rostrum, along that line. It will be a treat—hearing him—on a par with that we were afforded when Prof. Joel E. Spingarn spoke at St. John's A. M. E. church, many months ago. Its like, we have not had since. Trotter's fight against Dr. Booker T. Washington's baneful "doctrine of surrender," and segregation, is the basis of his "topped" topping by the fearless, sterling exhibition of Afro-American manhood he exhibited in that conference with J. B. HON. JAMES M. TROTTER President Wilson on matters of almost vital race interest. Go to Cory church, Monday evening, and tell your friends to do so also, and you and they will never regret it. Trotter is the son of a former Ohio-an. Hon. James Monroe Trotter, many years ago a resident of Chillicothe, but a resident of Boston, when President Cleveland appointed him Recorder of Deeds of the city, and he loved the rousing welcome to the father's old home-state.

Quality Service AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The bestowal of the first Spingarn medal, an admirably planned prize, to be awarded annually to the colored man or woman who has rendered the greatest service to the colored race—upon Prof. Ernest E. Just, a young scientist and professor in the Howard university medical school, attracted widespread attention. The committee, of which Mr. Taft is a member, did not find the choice an easy one, there being a number of possibilities from whom to select. That the recipient should be a scientist rather than an inventor, or a leader in farming or banking, will doubtless surprise many people, as it will put to their trumpz those who continue to maintain that the Negro is incapable of the higher education. Professor Just, be it noted, is but thirty-one years of age; yet he has already attracted the attention of scientists of repute, no less a one than Prof. Jacques Loeb endorsing his original work in physiology, biology and zoology in these terms; "His knowledge of biology and his critical ability are of an unusually high and lottery order. In the work that he devotes to Howard university he is actuated by very high motives, since the remuneration he receives is only a fraction of his nominal salary. He could easily increase his income by giving up his position. Professor Just has sacrificed a good deal for the advancement of medical schools (for coloured people, and he will do a good deal more if he is given a chance, as I hope he may be." Plaintiff, this is just the type of man the Spingarn medal ought to distinguish—a colored man who is proving the capability of the race, and is also ready to make sacrifices for the benefit of his people. It has been a distance weakness of the race in its struggle upward from slavery that it has often tacked solidarity and a readiness to contribute to the welfare of the whole. That this is now a rapidly passing condition there are plenty of instances besides this one of Professor Just to prove. Indeed, the support given to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in whose hands Professor Spingarn has placed the award of the medal, is a remarkable case in point. That organization has taken radical and unpopular ground; timeservers in both races have shunned it as if it were something unworthy, instead of a manly and straightforward effort to preserve the colored people their civil and political rights as guaranteed by the constitution. Yet the association has flourished, spread over the country, and made a reputation for itself as a guardian of the colored people's liberties, largely as a result of the efforts and financial sacrifices of the Negroes themselves. Commercially, elephants in India come under two classes—the one of preyment, the other of utility. Every native prince of nobleman of distinction in India keeps elephants to swell his residence, while on the other hand, government officials and private persons, such as timber contractors, etc., require them for work. The quiet city of Berne has been the capital of the Swiss republic since 1848. It is one of the most interest-grown towns of Züringen, and by 1828 it was strong enough to ward off two sieges by Rudolph of Hapsburg, the ancestor of the present emperor of Austria. With Jolien Rosenwald of Chicago at its head, a party of business men, philanthropists and social workers from that city visited the various schools of the Tuskegee, Ala., institute operated by Booker T. Washington and took part in a meeting of the board of trustees. Several rural schools which Mr. Rosenwald has aided in Montgomery were visited. Near Basel, Augst, in Switzerland, is the site of the old Roman colony of Augusta theauracorum, with remains of a theater, and at the nearby town of the Infidels are wall and towers partly preserved, for this was one of the outposts of the Holy Roman empire. It has only belonged to Switzerland since 1492, and is picturesque, like the majority of the towns on the Rhine. More than four hundred patents have been issued by the United States for devices intended to harness the power of sea waves. It has been computed that at the time of the arrival of Columbus there were 25,000,000 Indians in North and South America. Schemes for the construction of a 3,000-mile railway through Central Africa, at a cost roughly estimated at $50,000,000, have been revived by the termination of the war between Italy and Turkey. The post office in England intends to try the motorcycle for rural service. Orders have been placed for experimental machines. The life of the domestic horse is about twenty-eight years, while that of the wild one is thirty-eight years. Iron can be made rust proof by heating it, red hot and brushing it with linenseed oil. An electric flashlight contained in a watch case has been patented in Germany. Boiling tomato parings in aluminum cooking utensils will make them bright. A Frenchman has invented a miniature safety razor for trimming finger nails. Manassas is the only school of its kind in the entire five surrounding counties, the only place where any sort of an industrial training is given. The children come principally from this section of Virginia, where they have often gone no further than the fourth grade in the rural schools. In nearly all cases this means the scantiest possible training—the bare brittleness of the three R's. However, there are things more fundamental than even these which must be taught many of these pupils, who come from homes where the use of water for cleansing purposes has never been known, and where the simple everyday care of their bodies is another new lesson to learn. It is remarkable how quickly they come to realize the value of this lesson, and the pride with which daily soap-scrubbed faces shine once they know the added feeling of self-respect gained by the simple medium of soap and water. The pupil must be fourteen to enter the school—and may be forty. There are usually about an equal number of boys and girls in attendance. Most of these children are too poor to pay for their tuition and board, for which a very nominal price is asked, but this difficulty is arranged for by a system of crediting the child for daily jobs done in connection with the trade he is pursuing, or any necessary work to be done about the building. In the kitchen, laundry, or about the grounds. The trades offered the boys are carpentry, cobbling, wheelwrighting, blacksmithing, upholstering, and, most important of all for boys of that section, farming. The girls have cooking, sewing, laundering, dairying, and light farming. As early as 1798 a night school for Negroes was started in Philadelphia. In 1844 an industrial school was proposed, and in 1856 the first Negro university in the new world was started, named Wilberforce university, and now one of the largest Negro institutions of higher learning in the country. There are operated under the auspices of this church the following institutions, each one named for one of its deceased bishops: Allen university, Columbia, S. C.; Morris Brown university, Atlanta, Ga.; Payne college, Cuthbert, Ga.; Edward Waters college, Jacksonville, Fla.; Payne university, Selma, Ala.; Campbell college, Jackson, Miss.; Lampton college, Waco, Tex.; Wayman institute, Harrodburg, Ky.; Payne Theological seminary, Wilberforce, O. There are also the Shaffer High school in Liberia, West Africa; Turner seminary, Shelbyville, Tennessee, and Kittrell college in North Carolina, and institutions in Capetown, South Africa, and Georgetown, South Africa. The members of this church have raised more than $3,000,000 to support their schools, and their graduates are scattered all over the world—where Negroes are. Some are teaching the Pilgrims; some are organizing and training the militia of Liberia, the Negro republic of West Africa, and they are in every state in the Union in almost every honorable occupation of labor. A hundred African students have been trained in these schools for the purpose of aging back to their homes to help raise their people. The watchword of the church is "self-repect and self-help." Corks steeped in vaseline make excellent substitutes for glass stoppers. Buffalo is to purify its drinking water with chlorine gas, and hopes that the unpleasant taste caused by the more common method of using hypochloride will not appear. The process will kill germs, but not clarify the water. **Buffalo wants its water to sparkle it will have to install a filtration system as in Cleveland, where the plant cost $2,000,000.** More than 99 per cent of the timber in the Philippines is owned by the government and is worked through concessions and licenses, as no land more valuable for timber than for agriculture can be bought. The valuable trees of the same species are often scattered through the forests instead of being grouped, and this makes lumbering more expensive. A camera operated by electricity has been invented for lowering into oil wells to photograph the conditions surrounding broken tools. A guru has been discovered in large quantities in the Malay Peninsula that yields from 10 to 20 per cent pure rubber. To drain Lake Mariotis, in the Nile delta ten pumps have been installed each with a capacity of 100,000,000 gallons daily, and it is believed that eight more will be required. The Pacific Steam Navigation company has decided to extend its Straits mail service from Callao to Panama, in view of the opening of the Panama canal. In the Alps there is a letter box 10,000 feet above the sea level, from which daily collections are made. It is expected that the dredging of the Suez canal to a depth of 39 feet will be completed early next year. Cuba is to seek additional American markets for sugar, tobacco leaf and cigars, bee products and hides. Tackle has been invented by a California to make a tree pull out its roots when cut down. For the last five years this country has used from 63 to 67 per cent of the copper it produced. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1915 REALLY EASY TO TEACH HIM HABITS OF NEATNESS. Such a Thing as the Shoe Bag Shown in the Illustration is a Pointer—Good Idea Is Box for the Toys. There is no doubt children will more readily learn neatness if it is taught attractively. Children by nature are careless, and oftentimes lazy. To make them pick up their belongings and put them away in the proper places is quite as much trouble as doing it one's self. They leave their shoes around probably because there is no charm in putting them away in a closet, but if a child is given a shoe bag for its own, to be hung inside the closet door, like the one shown, it will be a pleasure to put the shoes away and visit with the tiny figures pictured there. The foundation is gray or tan linen, and the figures are worked in brilliant colors, using mercerized cotton fast colors. Little folks never tire of the old woman who lived in a shoe, and her large family, or the kittens who lost their mittens (because they had no bag). A row of tiny boy and girl figures, each in different stages of putting on their shoes, is another suggestion for decoration that will appeal to children also. Mothers may be saved many pennies and children taught a lesson in neatness if they are provided with a case for keeping their pencils. What mother has not experienced the wild hunt for pencils when it was time to start to school? All this commotion can be saved by making a case on the shoe bag order. Put the runners in to take a pencil in each pocket. One-half of the bag could be given to the pockets for the pencils. The other half could be a larger pocket into which to slip a scratch pad. On the outside of the case over the larger pocket one could Shoe Bag for Children. work a couple of brownies, an owl, or a squirrel. Most mothers know the value of a pretty box for collecting toys, but I know of one child who never could be taught to put away his toys until his mother bought a fair-sized tin water pallet one day. The small man was told to put away his toys in the box, but he promptly took the pail and banged the toys into it. Nor would he ever put them away in the box again. He liked to hear the noise, he said, "when the toys got fired to the pallet." Children are queer little creatures, truly. A Japanese matting box is an ideal toy box. It is attractive, hard and shiny inside, and makes a nice seat for little people besides. But it is much better for mothers to come down to the children's way of thinking and let them learn good habits in their own way. One child, it will be found, will like a tin pallet, another will only be happy if taught neatness through the medium of satin and lace. MATERIAL FOR THE FROCK Should Be Selected With View of Preventing Too Transparent Effects in Revealing the Figure. It may take more material to make a full skirt, but for thin fabrics there is nothing better suited than the gathered or flounced skirt of this season. Sheer fabrics, like moussellines, organies and the infinite variety of cotton, require some fullness to prevent tearing as well as to prevent transparent effects beneath and while one petticoat was the rule and, indeed, all that the narrow skirts of last season could accommodate there were some of us who were at some pains to hide the silhouette that would make itself visible underneath if one stood against a strong light. There are many charming flowered Many Women Would Take Delight in a Serviceable and Comfortable Addition to Chair. You may wonder who in the world would care to have a head rest in this age, but if you have overheard a woman complaining about the uncomfortable, high-backed chair in which she was obliged to sit day after day you would realize that there are many people in the world who are not tree to be so active on their feet that they haven't time to rest their heads during the day. Many a "shut-in" and perhaps some women of advanced years would be glad to possess a rest for the head. In any event, you can make an attractive "rest" of tan or dark green (green may be the better choice, for the color itself is so restful) linen. A stencil or an eyelet design of flowers could be appropriately applied. Or, if you are not fond of embroidering or stenciling, cut some attractive flowers from a piece of cretonne and with a blanket RESTAURANT GOWN BROOKS OF BROOKS A severity of line in this restaurant gown of Russian green velvet and the trimming of brilliant rhinestones—a very fashionable combination just now. The skirt of this frock is short and flares, but the suppleness of the figure does away with any bulky effect. Roses shading from a pink to a deep red trim the skirt. cottons being brought out every day and the polka dot is also in evidence. Soft white stuff, with pink or blue or yellow embroidered dots, or perhaps little sprays of flowers in variegated colors—were there ever prettier and more suitable materials and patterns for the cool little summer frocks, indispensable in a climate which in nearly all parts of this great United States borders closely on the tropical for a month or two at least? STYLE IN HATS AND COATS Various Shapes of Becoming Millinery Are Shown—Garment for Wear Over Evening Gown. The small, close-fitting black hat is still first favorite, but is often brightened by vivid hued flowers, sometimes just one huge velvet rose, polished at the back, or the high plain caps have a band about half way up, set with alternate small roses or camellias and pieces of tiny mixed blossoms. One of the new and very becoming larger shapes was seen the other day. It was of black velvet, with crown of white moire, and a mass of fuffy ostrich feathers at the right side. A serviceable and ultra-smart model seen at the same time was entirely made of black moire ribbon, deftly manipulated. There is no more useful garment then the picturesque dinner coat which, donned over a well-worn evening gown, imparts to it a delightfully fresh and festive appearance. Some made of vivid hued velvet or brocade, bordered with fur, are just like a medieval surcoat, short or long, to suit the weaver's figure, the longer ones usually having an ornate girdle of bead or jewel work; but loose affairs of net or chiffon are more generally becoming. A charming example worn recently was of emerald green chiffon and gorgeous black and gold embroidery over a simple gown of black charmeuse. It was wonderfully effective. Severe Blouses Shirt waistls cut along mannish lines, severely simple in style, are having a tremendous vogue this season. They are particularly suitable to the business girl. Three attractive models were seen recently. One was a finely striped silk, black and white being the color scheme of the shirt waist. This was made with a high collar—a new idea of the season—which buttons up tightly to the throat. Very chic but boyish is the effect. The other two blouses were of dainty handkerchiefl linen and showed a graceful shoulder line. Smart Suit. A smart suit is made of stone-colored cloth of firm and fairly thick texture with the faintest broken black line running through it. It has a big collar and careless Byronic waistcoat of striped black and buff satin with a straggling pattern straying over it in black outlined with gold thread. Handsome black and gold enameled buttons are employed. stitch attach them to the head rest. If you do not know how to do the blanket stitch these directions might help you. It is made by holding the edge on which you work toward you; in this case the edge of the flower would be held toward you. Sew from left to right, allowing the thread to form a loop under the needle. Do not draw the thread tight, as it will wrinkle the cloth. A loop of cord should be attached to each end at the top of the head rest, so that it may be hung on the chair. Fabric Weaves. All fabrics are influenced by the change in the silhouette, stiffer weaves and finishes are being added to the softer materials. In the wersteds, serges, gabardines, checks, coverts, poplins and barathea weaves predominate. Critic Seldom Wins Love. If you would be loved as a companion, avoid unnecessary criticism upon those with whom you live.—Arthur Helps. --- NEW TOUCHES ARE DECREED FOR COMING SEASON. Skirt Lines That Have Been Popular Now Reckoned as Dead—Long Skirts Are No Longer to Be Considered. As far as one can judge from the meager information that the experts give, there will be as much laxity in choice of fashionable apparel from now until June as there has been since last June. If this condition is continued it might result in the elimination of that fetish "the leading fashion" and give women and dress-makers a far better chance to display initiative. There are styles, however, that are not in the running any longer, wide as the choice remains. The skirt that is narrow across the back at the knees, and pulled up and forward to the front with a sash from hem to knees, is among the things that are reckoned as dead. The long coat is another fashion with a taboo, unless it serves as an overcoat, and the wide elbow sleeves with a lowered arnohole should be abandoned by those who still cling to it. Long skirts for any occasion are not reckoned in the spring styles, for even when there is train, it is not part of a hem that sweeps the floor all around, but a separate attachment. Coats that fasten below the waist line are abandoned for those whose buttons, always prominent, end above the waist, or merge into a girdle. The long waist line on jackets is meeting with strong opposition, but no one The same lenency may be claimed for the high collar. True, it is the leading collar, but no one can deny that the roll, rolling, low one has many adherents; the new white blouses that were offered recently have collars in this shape, and do not even compromise with the fashion that calls for a high buttoned stock. Over in Paris the women practically have abandoned the collars that close up the front, but they show that they bend to the demand for the high one by allowing the bones to keep it up in the back and at the sides, and, after going that far, the material is simply cut away from under the chin. This trick keeps down any semblance of a double roll of flesh at the spot where a woman detests it. The collar that buttons in a straight line around the neck always adds to a woman's age, therefore, why accept it? There are so many ways of getting around it. There is a tendency on all sides to lower the collar on coats also; it is not reasonable to suppose that the coachman's collar of fur, which has been such a happy note in street costumes, will be repeated in cloth. It wouldn't go with the mild weather. Cheruit is making a bid for the return of the shawl revers, and Bernardi and Drecoll are giving some attention to the plain revers and collar of other days. These are not especially graceful, and it is to be hoped that we shall get hold of something more enlivening to the coat when the new fashions come out. SMART COATS FOR SPRING Change in Skirt Styles Has Made Changes in Designs of Outer Garments Necessary. The change in style from the straight line coats to the full ripple forms is due to the full skirts that are in vogue, as it is necessary that the coats worn with these garments have a wide swing at the edge. Extreme models have the ripples falling in deep folds from the shoulders. In other designs the ripples start from the waist line. These practical coats have the short-waisted effect, with semifitting upper sections and a moderately full skirt bung from the raised waist line. Smart coats for sport and motor wear are in checks, tweeds, mannish mixtures and chinchillas. Motor coats usually have wide belts, and the trimmings match the bright colored threads in the cloth. Some of the newest coats are between a cape and a coat. These are trimmed in military style in army blue or gray. The real military cape is also seen. They are touched up with gilt braid and buttons, or finished with black braid and buttons. Sometimes the sleeves are set in the regular arm-size, but they are made large, being more practical than the fitted kind. Modified kimono sleeves set on the long shoulder line, are seen in limited numbers, as are also sleeves with a cap finish over the shoulders. Very high collars are worn, but are more practical when they are adjustable. In this way they can be fastened snugly about the throat or turned down if desired. FASHIONS CALL FOR CARE Arrangement of the Back Hair Now a Most Important Point of the Collure. Suede and kid are employed in fashioning the latest hats. Both come in black, white and the fashionable colors. Hats are either extremely small or quite large. Rarely does one see medium-sized chapeaux, but either a pill-box affair pulled down till the eyebrows are just visible and all the back hair in full view, or a large cannonet set at a rakish angle, and it is surprising how much individuality can be displayed in the manner in which these hats are placed on the tightly arranged collures of the day. And, speaking about collures, the day has passed when, if one had a sudden invitation, one could without a further thought pull the small hat over the not too carefully arranged locks and heave a sigh of contentment that at least one did as others did. But all that is changed, for one must look to one's back hair. Most becomingly 1 Smart little coat of white corduroy worn with black and white check skirt.

The deep shoulder yoke is also new and is made of white chiffon over brown mousselline and contrasts markedly with the deep brown of the frock. Bouse and double tunic are laid in closely set box plaits and are trimmed on the left by a row of large flat buttons covered with the material. Collar of lace. Little bow of gilt tissue at the throat. Polka Dot Hosiery Polka dot hosiery are the latest. They come in black silk sprinkled all over with small white polka dots and at the sides white embroidered clocks. With black patent leather pumps and slippers these new stockings are smart and attractive, and not a little dashing, also. With bronze slippers and buttoned boots having fawn or mode tops, stockings of natural silk, in delicate or creamy tone, are the vogue. Style Revivals Coat tails and notched revers like the lapels of a man's dress coat have been revived, and one-piece cloth gowns worn out of doors are uncommonly like the redingotes of some past years and with infinite care must it be arranged, for the success of the new coiffure depends on the back hair. Just as much thought must be expended on the comb or ornament selected for adornment. Concerning Marabou As is well known, marabou feathera lose their fluffiness, which is their chief beauty, in a comparatively short time. If, however, each time that a feather trimmed garment is worn, it is placed on a radiator, or near a fire for several hours, it will retain its original appearance for a long time. Use Fine Needles. When sewing on silk and satin use fine needles in place of pins to fasten your patterns in place, and baste with sewing silk instead of thread. This will avoid large pin holes, and marks of bastings. Daily Thought God is better served in resisting a temptation to evil than in many formal prayers—William Penn. LITTLE LITTLE JESTS PRACTICAL JOB FOR REAPER Impious Farmer Wanted Him Put in Fields to Help Harvest Hands and Not Bother Him. Representative Anthony of Kansas is accredited with the story of an impious farmer who was decidedly ill. It was during the late fall that he took to his bed and, physicians having some doubts as to his recovery, received the ministration of a clergyman. "You are close to the grave," said the clergyman solemnly. The alling farmer showed little interest. "We must all prepare," continued the clergyman, "at some time in our lives to meet the grim reaper." Then the sick man sat up. "Grim reaper?" he repeated. The clergyman nodded. "If you catch him around here," growled the farmer, "you put him out in the fields with the rest of the hands and he'll get his fill of reaping without bothering me!"—Washington Star. Fine for Bachelors "What is your attitude toward mechanical music?" "Well, it has some advantages." "For instance?" "In the old days when a single man liked to enjoy a little music in the evening without going out he either had to hire a pianist or marry one, but now he can/buy a piano-player as a permanent fixture and make his valet do the foot work." Baiting the Railroads "Our community thinks our railroad ougher furnish a couple more trains per day. We're going to take the matter to the legislature, too." "But very few people in your community ever travel." "Maybe not. But we like to see the cars go by."—Judge. The Brighter Side. "Mrs. Tewksbury is going back to the hospital. She spends half her time there." "Yes. Mrs. T. says it is cheaper to stay a month in the hospital than it is to visit a winter resort and it makes her much more interesting to her friends." The Microbe War "We are going to give up having Johnny get an education." "For what reason?" "Well, we can't get him sterilized every morning in time to go to school." -Puck.

Of Things That Never Were. He—This brand of champagne should be called the biograph. She—Why so? He—Because after you drink a pint of it you begin to see moving pictures. "Yes, son." "Why is it that a man walking alone never passes a given point, while a parade always does?"—Philadelphia Public Ledger. She—Do you think actors ought to marry? He—Oh! yes; but not quite so frequently. "Every cloud has a silver lining," remarked the optimist. "There is also gold in sea water," retorted the pessimist. "And neither of these deposits does anybody a bit of good." No Drawback. "No, Jack, I fear we could never be happy; you know I always want my own way in everything." "But, darling, you could go on wanting it after we are married." Sad Case "What have you got?" "A breakfast food that nobody wants".
