HUNTING FOR FARMER'S SLAYER Aged Wealthy Man Found With His Head Crushed With an Ax. Body Was Found Under a Manger in the Stable on an Adjoining Farm by His Son-in-Law; Old Man Had Been Robbed. Geneva, O. — The male population of Trumbull township has begun a search for a farmhand suspected of having killed Silas F. Parker, a wealthy farmer living near the village of Trumbull. George Burlingame, sheriff of Adbil county, is directing the hunt and admitting his working at a great disadvantage owing to the fact the suspect has a stint of about 12 hours. Mr. Parker, who was 72 years old, was reputed as being one of the rich men of the section, and was accustomed to carry from $200 to $300 with him at all times. His pockets had been the robbery is believed to have been the motive for the murder, which was committed Saturday afternoon. Shortly after 3 o'clock Mrs. Parker saw her husband cutting the hedge in front of the house, and shortly after 6 o'clock, her daughter, Mrs. Silas Rockhill, and her husband returned from a shopping tour to Rock the son-in-law went in search of the age. Rockhill, when he was unable to locate the farm hand, went to his own farm, adjoining that of Parker, and noticed tracks in the soft earth leading toward the barn. Beneath a manager and covered with hay he found the body of his father-in-law. The head had been crushed and nearby blood-seemed ax with which the aged man had been trimming the hedge. Sheriff Burlingame believes the murder was committed in front of the Parker jome and that the suspect carried the body to the barn in which it was found, a distance of nearly half a mile. The suspected man came to the Parker farm about four weeks ago and asked for work. He was hired and appeared steady and reliable. LOOTERS REPORTED AT WORK IN FLOOD ZONE Marias Landed to Check Disorder in California Flood District; 29 Bodies Recovered in the Otay Valley. San Diego, Cal. — (By wireless to San Francisco.) — A detachment of United States marines has been sent to the flooded Otay valley to chock looting. United States cavalrymen are patrolling Coronado Strand and turning back people from the flooded district. The Moreno Dam, guarding one unit of the Otay water system, is reported to have broken. It is the uppermost of three storage units of the San Diego system, and empties its overflow into Tia Juana river.

Y.—Two persons were murdered, another probably fatally injured and a fourth severely beaten up in an automobile holdup on the Orchard Park road near this city. Several hours elapsed before the city and county authorities were informed of the crime, and the assailants made good their escape. The victims, prominent Buffalo residents and members of the same family, were: Agnes M. Teipel, 57, shot in head and instantly killed; Frederick C. Teipel, son, beaten to death with blunt instrument; Grace C. Teipel, daughter, skull fractured, will die; Edward G. Teipel, son, beaten on head and left senseless on road. The family was returning from Orchard Park and had stopped the car a short distance south of the Termini station, daughter, skull fractured, was set up beside by the holdup men. Mrs. Teipel was killed by the first of four shots fired. The men then clubbed the others, and after robbing them of money and jewelry, fled. A former living nearby heard the shots and the cries of the women and gave the alarm. Mrs. Teipel was the widow of Conrad Teipel, who founded the Buffalo Structural Steel Co. Police and deputy sheriffs are searching for a negro who is believed to have committed the crime single handedly. Who is at his home in Orchard Park who is at his home in Buffalo, informed the authorities that his mother, brother and sister were his guests, making the trip in their machine. Shortly before he had driven into the city with his roadster and when it stalled, left it to the roadside. When his guests returned home, he started with them he said, carrying tools to repair his own car. They stopped behind him and worked on the automobile, he told the police, "when I heard my brother shout 'Ed.' I looked up in time to ward off a big negro, but he hit, me on the head and I went down and out. As I did I saw him grapple with Fred. That's about all I knew till help came." At the direction of District Attorney Dudley, Sheriff Stengel brought John Edward Teler, one of the Orchestra Park road tragedy, to police headquarters. The district attorney said that Teler was "being detained."

ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1916. BISHOP WALTERS SHOWS HIS PLUCK BISHOP WALTERS SHOWS HIS PLUCK Noted Zion Churchman Sends Open Letter to President Wilson Regarding Appointment of Colored Citizens to Office—Democracy Does Not Mean Race Discrimination. New York.—Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. M. E. Zion church, who is a resident of the city and the president of the Democratic organization among the colored people, is having his troubles with the present national Democratic administration. Bishop Walters was one of the leading spirits in the political campaign of 1912, which resulted in the election of Woddow Wilson to the presidency. It was generally believed that colored Democrats would be appointed to those offices held by colored Republicans, in view of Mr. Wilson's pre-election pledges to Bishop Walters and other colored Democratic leaders, but up to February, 1910, the opposite has been the result, to the realization of these men who voted the Democratic ticket in the general election in 1912 which resulted in Mr. Wilson's success. Becoming alarmed over the silm recogition accorded by the president to BISHOP A. WALTERS. members of the colored Democracy in the matter of appointment to the more important positions usually held, by members of the race, Bishop Walters has very recently been quite anxious to know the attitude of the president in the race, and he has left on which the bishop based his hopes of final recognition for his followers was that of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, and it is said that the bishop has been told that the administration will not appoint a colored man to the position for fear of creating a discussion of the race question. In order to put to a final test whether the senate will confirm the appointment of a colored man as recorder of deeds or to a similar position in which confirmation by that body is necessary, Bishop Walters still requests the president to make such an appointment and to that end has sent an open letter to the nation's chief executive at the White House: "Honored to speak to this open letter I declare that you most heartily for audiences granted and favors given me since your election as president of the United States; and, further, I thank the heads of the departments for appointments and promotions, made in their several bureaus. There is a settlement abroad that it is not the policy of the national Democratic party to appoint and confirm Negroes to promotion, and that it is not the letter and the nominations of Mr. Patterson, Judge Terrell and Mr. Curts, it is hard to believe that your excellence shares in this opposition. "Certainly the hostile Negro sentiment of some who occupy high places in the Democratic party cannot be considered as expressing the attitude of the party toward us. If democracy is the right thing to do, the sharing in the government of every honest, intelligent inexpaxing citizen, without regard to creed or color. "Surely this is entirely true at a time when every man of every race in our beloved country is expected to serve the colors in case of a crisis and is needed to insure preparedness" for our national defense. It does appear to me that it should be the aim of the Negroes to intensify the warmest patriotism rather than discourage and repress the love and zeal of all citizens. "To be officially informed that Negroes cannot be confirmed in high federal positions; such as they have held under former administrations, no matter how worthy, is, to say the least, discouraging. We have waited long and patiently to know what our politician has said, and it is to be in all parts of this country. In certain parts of the southland a property qualification was demanded, and we met that, but to no avail; then the education test was required, and when our literacy was decreased to per cent and when we had met the educational qualification, we were bible- to stand aside and wait a little benzo- instead of being encouraged to reside- and vote. With many places where we presented for enrollment we were reli-ously turned down. It is well to understand that the Democratic party cannot have the support of the Negro vote in the north, east and west while it denies the ballot to the members of our race in the south. For a national party to take such a position is unfair, unreasonable and unfemale. As to the position of recorder of deeds, it has become a test case, and we are not now responsible for the recorder of the principle involved—many, the right of Negroes to be nominated and confirmed in important offices. "We do hope, Mr. President, that you will not hesitate to make the nomination of a colored man to the office of the recorder of deeds or to one of equal importance where somatoral confirmation is required, for we desire to know the status of the Negro Democratic party to accord to Negroes the same rights and recognition granted to other citizens of the nation, or, in other words, can the Democratic party afford to ignore a half million voters on account of their half million voters most respectful in numbers. Most respectful is the MEXANDER WALTERS. The promise me to President Wilson to Bishop Walters that in the event of his (Wilson's) election he would deal yellowly the color of this country is contained in a letter addressed to Bishop Walters by Mr. Woodrow Wilson from Trenton, N. J., in October, 1918, and reads as follows: "My Dear Bishop Walters: I hope that it seems superfluous to those who know me, but to those who do not know me perhaps it is necessary for me to assure my colored fellow citizens of my earnest wish to see justice done for my brother and not grudging justice, but justice exceeded with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every guarantee of our law, every provision of our constitution, commands this, and our sympathies should also make it easy. "The colored people of the United States have made extraordinary progress and quality and quality and quality in every possible way. My sympathy with them is of long standing, and I want to assure them through you that I become president of the United States they may, count upon me for absolutely fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interests of their race in the United States. Corollly and sincerely yours." Local Committees Arranges an En- lorate Program for Annual Meeting. Columbia, S. C.-The South Carolina race conference will hold its annual meeting in this city six days, beginning Friday, Feb. 4. Prominent speakers of both races will attend and deliver addresses on timely topics of interest to the public. For the benefit of scho- teachers the committee on program has arranged to hold the sessions of the conference on Friday and Saturday in the assembly hall of Benedict college.

THE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL FUND Nation Wide Movement- Started to Perpetuate the Memory and Useful Life of the Late Booker T. W. Washington—Splendid Opportunity Afforded For Race to Show Its Loyalty. The trustees of the Tuskegee (Ala.) Normal and Industrial institute are undertaking the task of raising a Booker T. Washington memorial fund of $2,000,000 in memory of the great American who passed to his reward. Sunday, Nov. 14, 1915. Quite properly, the trustees felt that the "bed rock" of interest in this effort must rest with the colored people, who in their letters to Tuskegee institute, following Dr. Washington's guidance, warmly寄语 of support, to the end that the work of Tuskegee institute may be perpetuated and preserved as a permanent memorial to the man who gave all that he could give—his very life—to his people. The trustees have designated Secretary Emmet J. Scott to take charge of the special campaign among the colored people. It is believed that they will welcome the opportunity of concessions of $250,000, as the trustees and public express, as their part of this memorial fund. The officers and members of fraternal and secret society organizations are asked to join us in the effort we are making to meet the just expectation of those who are looking to the colored people, through this movement, to be involved in the work of Dr. Washington's monument by the preservation of Tuskegee institute and also to show their appreciation of his labors so unselfishly rendered in their behalf. Teachers in schools, both public and private, are also invited to share the experience of the museum of the request are not only to work up interest in the movement, but also to take a collection from among the children of the various schools throughout the country on April 5, 1946. It is also earnestly urged that Sunday, March 12, 1918, be set aside as a special day upon the colored churches in schools. In order that the machinery and cost of collection may be reduced to a minimum it has been decided by the trustees of the institute that no agents or special solicitors shall be appointed and that all funds collected be sent directly to and acknowledged from Tuskegee Institute. In order to the order of Warren Logan, treasurer, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, or to the order of Emmett J. Scott. It is the aim of those in charge to send to all of the subscribers to this fund who give $5 or more a certificate to be framed showing Dr. Washington's picture, a picture of the house in which Dr. Washington resides, and Tompkins Memorial hall, the largest building on the institute grounds. Correspondence is invited from all who are interested in this movement, and the assurance is given that if the colored people themselves give $20,000 of the $2,000,000 to be raised this sum will be met more than dollar for dollar by the people themselves. The trustees are decided that one of the money given by the colored people there shall be erected on the institute grounds a permanent memorial to Dr. Washington's unselfish and useful life, to take the form of a building, a statue or a monument of some other character. The colored people will thus have the opportunity not only of contributing to the fund itself, but also of erecting the monument which shall stand on the institute grounds as "a memorial to the people of the United States," of his courtesy, of his prudence, of his self forgetfulness and of his patriotic service to the colored people and to the people of the United States." FRED A. BRITTEN Representative Britten of Chicago has concocted a new plan to solve the troubles of Mexico. He has introduced a resolution authorizing the president to negotiate with Carranza for the purchase of Lower California, the money paid to be devoted to the building up of Mexico. TEN KILLED WHEN BOILERS EXPLODE Bodies and Wreckage of River Boat Blown to Shore by Force of the Explosion; Ohio Steamer Burns. Huntington, W. Va. — Ten persons were killed, one a woman, and four seriously burned by the explosion of the boilers on the towboat Sam Brown of Pittsburgh in the Ohio river here. The explosion is believed to have been due to the admission of cold water into the boilers, and down the river with a cargo of coal, but had tied up here to take on additional barges. The blast was terrific, bodies and wreckage being hurled to the shore on both sides of the river. A majority of the bodies were so mangled they were unrecognizable. Charles Shafer, who died later, was insane when found on a hating place of wreckage; the crew of living the survivors was made easier by the fact that the big steel safe which held the record of the boat's crew was blown ashore. A few minutes after the explosion occurred the ferryboat City of Huntington, the towboat Katherine Davis and many launches and skiffs put out from various points along the river, picking up survivors and bringing in crew of 23 persons, many of whom, however, were on the coal tow at the time of the explosion. The Sam Brown was owned by the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal & Coke Co. of Pittsburgh, and was valued at $25,000. Point Pleasant, W. Va. — The steamer Lorena, well known Ohio city, was totally burned while in drydock here. The cause of the fire is not known. When the Lorena caught afire she was towed from the drydock to the opposite side of the Kanawah river, where she finally sank. The loss is given at $25,000. Members of the crew are safe. City Under Water. Memphis, Tom. — The flood in the lower Mississippi, especially below the mouth of the Red river, probably will exceed any other stage, according to the report of the Mississippi levee board. He said he believed the levers along the lower Mississippi will hold. Hickman, Ky., reports the business section of the city is under water. An Iron Mountain passenger train with 50 passenger cars, on Monday morning, is marooned and partly under water near Oliphant, Ark. Sunk by U-Boat. London. — The British steamship Woodfield fought a submarine in the Mediterranean for three hours and was finally sunk. Eight members of the fighting crew were killed and 14 were wounded. Survivors of the crew have arrived at Plymouth. Some of the crew who escaped from the Woodfield landed on the African coast and were taken prisoners by the Moors. Passes Keating Bill. Washington, D. C.—The, Keating bill, barring from interstate commerce the products of child labor, was passed 337 to 46; and now, goes to the senate. Warion Dining Rooms Akron, O. — Following a physical examination of all the employees of the B. F. Goodrich Co. restaurant, which resulted in the temporary closing of the big corporation dining hall, the company announced that a campaign would be started here to enforce compulsory medical inspection of every dining hall and restaurant in the city. The Goodrich examination disclosed that over 80 employees are suffering from infectious diseases, said a Goodrich department manager. H. WILSON UNDER KNIGHTS ARTILLERY ACTIVITY ON WESTERN FRONT Germans Make Infantry Attack on British Lines, but Are Repulsed. Reported Greece, and Roumania Have Signed a Dual Neutral Convention; Germans and Bulgars Ready to Attack Saloniki. London. — Heavy artillery activity, with the French guns taking the initiative, is reported from Artos, Champagne and the Voges. German batteries east of Villy were brought under French control. The German expedition statement announced that the allies again shelled Lens. The German troops movement at several points in Artos and as far south as Lassigny, attracted the fire of the French batteries. The Germans made an infantry attack on the British lines on the Ypres-Bilken road with preliminary artillery fire. The attack repulsed. Killed by Bombs. Dispatches from Saloniki state two Greek soldiers, five refugees and seven men were killed and 60 civilians were injured by the inflammable bombs dropped from the Zeppelin in the raid already reported. No damage was done to military buildings. The ack attack wounded Bukharev, declares Greece and Roumania have signed a dual neutrality convention, according to a dispatch received here by wireless telegraphy from Rome. Information, in received, in military quarters at Athens indicates that German and Bulgarian troops, supported by French forces, begin to attack on the Franco-British forces at Saloniki about Feb. 15. Austrian columns continuing to march along the sea toward Avlona, Albania, have reached the northernmost source of the river Matl, telegrams from Austria's alfirm. In any Fighting, there is scarcely any fighting on any of the battle fronts except artillery engagements, and in none of these have any noteworthy achievements been recorded. On the Russian front Berlin claims the fighting Russian force between the Stochod and Styr rivers, while Vienna reports the forced withdrawal of the Russians from their advanced trenches near Uscleckzo, in East Galicia. The British in East and West Africa support their gulns against the Germans in the capture of towns and military positions, according to official reports from that region. WILSON AT KANSAS CITY WILSON AT KANSAS CITY THE PRESIDENT TALKS TO AUDIENCE OF FIFTEENTH THOU-SAND PEOPLE. Kansas City, Mo.—President, Wilson here for the first time sounded a warning that peril menaces the United States from its western coast. After declaring that the whole world is on fire and that the United States may be engulfed at any time, he said, the United States it may creep in on both coasts. Do you know of the great sweep up the western coast from the canal to Alaska? And that great sweep up from the Gulf of Mexico to the St. Lawrence? "There are many good harbors and many cities that would be open to do. Do you think that a navy that ranks fourth is enough to guard these long expanses? "The greatest crowd that has yet heard the president on his preparedness tour listed to him. More than 15,000 men and women jammed into the big auditorium here. The president plainly showed that the great crowd was pleasing to him. Caught by New Type of Vessel. New York City—Daniel Bacon, New York representative of the owners of the Appam; says: "The Appam was caught by a new type of light draft, heavily armed by a German man, on the same lines a merchantman and easily displaced. I cannot give you her name, though I have been officially told it. She was escorted by several other vessels, at least one of which was a collier that also acted as a scout. The Germans have put something over on us again." Broke Speed Records. Ithaca, N. Y.—All American records for speed were capped here by Aviator Frank Burnale, who attained an average speed of 95 miles per hour on a 400-mile course in a nine-hour military tractor bibale over a measured half-mile course. Blown Into the Air: New York City.—Dr. Edward Clinton, a survivor of the Italian steamer Brindish, which was destroyed by a mine in the Adriatic last month, has arrived here with other members of the American Red Cross aboard the steamer Patria.

The Topeka (Kan.) Plain Dealer suggests "matches and dynamite for Georgia lynchers." Miss Doneva W. Donnell, of Indianapolis, has been appointed by County Treasurer Sourbier to a clerkship in his office. This is a "pointer" for our city administration, and county officials, too. Frederic Seelig, one of Cleveland's most promising young men, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Seelig, Sr., of E. 71st St., will graduate, next week, from Ohio University at Athens. Knowing him, since infancy, we feel a personal interest in his future which we sincerely trust will be a most successful one. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, has been elected to succeed the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as a member of the Negro Rural School Fund, Anna T. Jeanes Foundation. He is an old newspaper man, a most efficient secretary, and will honor the new position which is accepted in connection with the secretaryship of Tuskegee Ala., Normal and Industrial Institute. Senator Foraker is quite right: the Ohio legislature has no authority to fix the method by which delegates to the national convention shall be chosen. The law of the state long ago delegated that power to the supreme organizations of the parties. The primary law of Ohio, pertaining to convention delegates, is undoubtedly unconstitutional. Nothing political would please us more, just at this time, than to have it so declared by the State Supreme Court, as a result of the leadership and effort of our great and good senator, Joseph Benson Foraker. BISHOP WALTERS President Thomas Woodrow Wilson has Bishop Alexander Walters with his back against the wall fighting for his political (democratic) existence. And it also looks very much as if the Bishop has the President, and his southern-controlled democratic party in a mighty small corner, as far as their political interest in our people is concerned. We happen to know that the Bishop's peculiar position in politics was taken, years ago, with an eye-single to the race's best interest, because, as he said at the time, there was coming a change in the control of the government and when that came, as it did, it would be necessary for some of our prominent men to be in a position (in the democratic party) to stand up and speak for the race. That, we believe, honestly and correctly explains his political attitude in recent years. The Bishop is a thorough race man, fearless and exceptionally able. TRUTH FROM A DEMOCRAT. Like a thunder clap out of a clean sky came the speech of Senator Newlands, (Dem.) of Nevada, declaring that the industrial depression was contemporaneous with Democratic legislation regarding the tariff, banking, and trade, and that it was the European war which saved the country from the business depression into which this country was thrown. Democratic publicity agents and the Democratic press have been studiously endeavoring to conceal the real facts and to give the impression that the industrial stagnation was due to the war, and that our present prosperity is of a permanent and substantial character, independent of beneficial war influence. Senator Newlands evidently has more regard for his future reputation as a statesman than have most of the Democratic leaders. He says: "It would not do to charge this depression to the European war, first, because that war though injurious to our production and trade in its inception has since become a stimulant to production and export, and, second, because the commencement of this depression antedates the European war and was contemporaneous with our legislation regarding the tariff, banking, and trade." This statement by Senator New- lands will be published by every Republican newspaper and quoted by every Republican speaker in the cam paign which is now impending. REPUBLICAN DISFRANCHISEMENT The New York World (Dem.) is roasting the republican national committee because the new apportionment of delegates will give a smaller representation to the southern states, particularly those that sent the most Afro-American delegates. The last republican national convention contained 55 Colored delegates. There will not be so many in the next. While there is some show of justice in the reduction, the harmful thing of it is, that it is an indirect endorsement of distranchisement in the south. Because southern democratic state-control robs so many of our men of their votes, while the government stands idly by with the power to secure them their votes in at least federal elections—those for members of congress and Presidential electors—is no good reason why the national control of the republican party should decrease the representation of our people, of that section of the country, in the republican national convention. Another bad feature is that this sort of thing gives encouragement to "illywhite-ism" in the south, where such "half-baked republicans" are already making a world of trouble (in Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and other states) striving to control the election of delegates to the next national republican convention, and to prevent Afro-American voters from participating in the same. So, the New York World's criticisms tho' doubtless prompted by its politic affiliations, are not without good foundation in fact. MIXED ELOPEMENT! A Rich White Woman, Wife of a Prominent Marianne, Elopes With a Sultanat Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 26.—Raymond Dodds, malattio, and Viola Hood, wife of a prominent hotel proprietor, who eloped from San Diego, Cal., last Friday, surrendered themselves to the 'Salt Lake City police, Monday, and both declared that their act was voluntary. Dodds appeared at the Police Station soon after 10 o'clock and announced his identity. He said he had read in a morning newspaper that the police had been asked to detain them, and decided to surrender himself to avoid trouble. said he. Mrs. Hood had eloped with him of her education, and that he had never employed her. She left her home. He said she had urged him at intervals for a year to run away with her, and that she provided the funds with which they traveled. A search for Mrs. Hood proved without result until about 12:30 this noon, when she walked into the Police Station. She confirmed Dodds' story, according to the police, and says that she will return to San Diego if desired, on condition that Dodbs be set at liberty, so he may go to Chicago. The police also say Mrs. Hood said their plan was to be married here under assumed names and make their home in Chicago. She told them Dodds had driven to a local rooming house after their arrival, has had night, the police say, and later had a class hotel, remarking that the rooming house was 'not a moral place.' Dodds passed the night at another rooming house. The two are held by the police for advices from San Diego. BETTER BOY STANDARD Movement is Started by Principa Allen Penn Graded Sephora - An Ohighue Bluefield, W. Va.—A movement to better the standard of the Afro-American boy in the city has been started by Principal Allen S. Peal, of our Bluefield graded schools. Two hundred boys have been formed into a boys' club by the principal, the purpose of which is to "broaden the vision" of the boys, which is declared to together too narrow for the young man. The club meets weekly, at which times it is addressed by doctors, dentists, and business men who point out to the boys methods by which they may better their conditions in the world. An orchestra has also been formed from the members of the club. The club has a card which all its boy members are required to fill out. The member in fill out the card a pledges himself to study and practice the proper manners for the street and all other public places, to always have money in a bank in his own name; to avoid tobacco, liquor and all bad habits, and many other things for his moral and physical advancement, that he may in every way become a desirable American. While the movement is in operation only in this city, it is planned to make it statewide for the betterment of the coming manhood of the Colored race. FORAKER TO FIGHT PRIMARY Cincinnati, O.-Former Senator Foraker has openly declared war on the direct presidential primary, and Jan. 29 Matt Glaser, who is managing Foraker's campaign for membership of the "big four" delegation, returned from Chicago, where he says he made presentations for a full delegation of 709. Glaser has asked Secretary of State Hildebrandt for his interpretation of the statute, giving him till Tuesday to reply, when, if that opinion is adverse, he says, steps will be taken for holding a state convention and the fight will be carried to the hall of the national convention.

NATION'S SACRED HISTORY DISTORTED THE "BIRTH OF A NATION" AN IN- SULT TO THE NORTH, DE- CLARES OHIO'S ATTOR- NEY GENERAL. UPHOLDS CENSOR BOARD In Barring the Infamous Photoplay From the State and Says the Picture Glorifies Outlawe and Grossly Misrepresents the Reconstruction Period. Columbus, O., Jan. 17, 1916. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find a copy of Attorney General C. C. Turner's statement in a letter to the Ohio Board of Film Censors, which is self explanatory. Yours very truly. "After viewing the photo-play entitled 'The Birth of a Nation', I am firmly of the opinion that the board of censors did right in not permitting this picture to be shown in Ohio. Over and above the mistreatment of the Negro, the picture is an insult to the North and a contemptible distortion of well-known history regarding the Civil war. The proper title of this picture is 'The Birth of a Nation'. In the face of the indisputable fact that the mulatto is the product of the South alone, the author of this picture has dared to attempt to attribute the actions of the leaders of the North to the influence of lioness with colored women, typifying a congressional leader, preceding, during and after the Civil war, as a low, coarse, vindictive Near-worshiping-advocate of mixed marriages having as a miserable consequence sufficient to justify the subtitle 'A Great Leader's Weakness that is to blight a Nation'. This immediately precedes Lincoln's call for volunteers. That there may be no mistake as to who is meant by this coarse caricature, they pick out a cripple to unmistakably denote Thaddeus Stevens. For fear that some one might not understand the subtitle stating that 'The executive mansion of the nation was transferred to this man's residence'. After glorifying the rebel flag and the flag of South Carolina, the author dresses a hordre of the lowest type of bad land Negroes in the uniform of Union soldiers and causes them to enact soldiers similar to those of General Early army at Chambersburg, Pa. Not satisfied with even this, the author labels officers as 'scalawag white cap tails'. FLING AT SHERMAN. "A fling is taken at General Sherman's memory in the marauding scenes under the titles of 'While the women and children weep a great conqueror marches to the sea' and 'The torch of war against the breast of Atlanta.' General Grant, the man who, according to fact and real history, sent 25,000 rations to General Sherman, and sent his men to ride their horses and mules home so as to be able to cultivate the soil; the soldier whose terms of surrender had been so generous as to evoke from General Lee the statement, 'This will have a very happy effect on my men; the man who did not even wait to witness the formal surrender of the troops, this hero, not only of the Army but of the nation, pictured with a stogie-like cigar in his mouth tilted at the angle chosen by cartoonists to represent 'Uncle Joe' Cannon, and with his hand jammed down in his pants pocket, is made to swagger over in front of General Lee, who remains the personification of dignity. Time after time the North is unfavorably contrasted against the South. A fair daughter of the North and a faithful father of the South, who has two competitors for her affections, one a leering lout dressed slouchily in Union blue, the other a Negro. MISREPRESENTS NEGROES "Insult after insult is heaped upon the soldier's uniform made sacred by the boys in blue. Notwithstanding the fact that the nation were the protectors of the white women and children of the South during the dark days of the Civil war and that no ravishment of white women by blacks during that period is recorded, a Union officer's uniform of blue is placed upon the lowest type of Negro imaginable, and he is made to pursue a little white girl who jumps from a cliff to her death, and there is then flashed upon the screen. For her who had leashed her, she should not grieve that she has found sweeter the opal gates of death." The Negro's 'just for white women' rather than the white man's just to regain lost power, is made the justification for that organization, well-known in history as the Ku Klux Klan. And what all history, including the reports of the courts, say was a band of outlaws, is made an organization of heroes under religious rights. Brush up your history and imagine if you can the Ku Klux Klan giving birth to this nation. Among this nation of false and oppressed heroes there was the reason for the picture and the books which preceded it—Bitter memories will not allow the poor bruised heart of the South to forget. WHENCE INDORSEMENTS COME. "After viewing this picture I read the brief of attorneys for the corporation seeking to commercialize this Insult to a Nation," and found quoted therein purported indemnities of the picture by Claud Kitchin, L. P. Padgett, R. N. Page and other sons of the South, who are now prominent in conspiracy therein a long eulogy of the picture by a state commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. In his indorsement of the picture this commander says: 'The Sons of Confederate Veterans today are working along two lines, first, to see that the Southern side of the controversy which led to the war, which will demonstrate to the world that we are not sons of rebels but sons of patriots.' We of the North are asked to forget, yet at the same time, insulting our heroes and our cause, the promoters of this picture are asking the youth of the North to accept in this picture manufacture of the war, which is the institution purporting to come from children of this state who had been shown this picture through the efforts of a man INDICATIONS OF RACE SOLIDARITY Progress Made the Past Year Through United Effort. GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED. Brief Review of Leading Events Among Afro-Americans Shows Remarkable Work Along Many Lines of Activity—Great Work of Dr. J. E. Spingarn. Bv N. BARNETT DODSON By N. BARNETT DODSON 5. New York.-Civilization is the atrueistic fruition of the ages and rests upon man's unselfish service to man, says Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville. Tennessee. He also says that faith in man is as important as faith in God and that faith in God unaccompanied by faith in man is an injury, not a benefit, to human society. This is a broad statement, with a truth as broad as its meaning from whatever point of view we may discuss it. In relation to the efforts and achievements of the colored race in America Dr. Roman's pose dixit is applicable to the letter. Efficiency, preparedness and service are leading elements and essentials in the progress of nations, races and individuals toward the higher and better things of this life. The past year (1915) was one of great effort and struggle in many directions among our people and along many lines for racial betterment. Without the qualities of manhood and spiritual attitude such as we find in Dr. Roman's declaration our race could never have recorded to its credit the marvelous progress which we see and read of within the short period of fifty years as free Americans. Spingarn Makes Plea For Square Deal. In the effort for equal rights and the enforcement of the law alike to all, without regard to race or color, the first gunshot of the year was fired by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Dr. Spingarn made a four of several of the western states, which lasted through the month of January. In Chicago, Columbus, Dayton and Cleveland, O., and at Indianapolis, Ind., he spoke before the chambers of commerce and other organized business groups of prominent and influential white men on the necessity of using their influence on the side of justice for our people and in the matter of giving them an equal chance and equal pay for the same kind of labor as other groups of Americans receive. Dr. Spingarn created much favorable sentiment in our behalf. From Jan. 1 to the end of April Editor William Monroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian toured many of the northern and western states, speaking in the large cities against race segregation. On this tour Mr. Trotter told how a committee appointed by the Equal Rights league, of which he was chairman, made a visit in November, 1914, to Washington and there laid the matter of race segregation in the government departments before the president. The result of the conference created a national sensation from the fact that for the first time since this unjust practice had been put in force it was admitted that such a practice existed. Mr. Trotter received much praise and some criticism for the part which he took in this interview with the president. Public sentiment finally decided that it was an act in behalf of human rights and American citizenship, which were above the selfish motives of any individual and that it was performed in a legal, orderly manner and was therefore instifiable. Dr. Just Wins Spingarn Medal. The big event for the month of February was the annual meeting of the National Association For The Advancement of Colored People, held at Ethical Culture hall, New York. At this meeting Governor Charles S. Whitman of New York awarded to Dr. Ernest Everett just, head of the department of physiology at Howard university, the first Splungarn gold medal. This trophy, which costs $100, is offered annually by Dr. Joel E. Splungarn, chairman of the board of directors of the above named association, to the man or woman of African descent and American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor. Responding to the call of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington for a national health campaign the third week in March, over two-thirds of the large organizations of various objects and alms conducted public meetings where instructive talks and addresses were made and literature on health topics was distributed. This movement was the first of its kind on so large a scale ever undertaken and in which the public evinced unusual interest. The rural communities were greatly benefited, and in several large cities the death rate among our people for the eight months following was much lower. Nine Local Business Leagues Formed. Some of the important events of April were the meeting of the fifty-first annual Delaware conference of the Methodist Episcopal church at Atlantic City, N. J. J. Representatives from 160 churches were present, and much good was accomplished. At Boston Boulevard, in the State College blinded by partisan politics. These letters show that these children are not the victims of the civil war as real history. This picture shows the South to have been right and the North to have been wrong. Our fathers settled that controversy in the arbitrament of arms and no good can come from an attempt to re-open the question or distort its history. This picture is neither of a moral, educational, amusing nor harmless character, and the statute (Sec. 871-49 G. C.) would have been filmed as are either of a moral, educational or amusing and harmless character may be passed by the Ohio board of censors." Teachers' association held its eleventh annual meeting. Local business leagues were organized in the following cities: Camden, N. J.; Cleburne, T.；Springfield, Mo.; Anderson, S. C.; Brinson, Ga.; Ramer, Ala.; Staundon, Va.; Gainesville, T.；and Mason, Tenn. The latter part of May the majority of our educational institutions closed with the graduation of large numbers of young men and women wed prepared for service as teachers and leaders in the various sections of the country. The month was also notable in religious circles, especially in the south, where many associations and conferences held their annual meetings. An increase in membership, efficiency in church work and liberal giving for education, home and foreign missions were indicated by the reports rendered by the church officials. Important Meetings In June and July. Early in June commencement exercises were held at the Virginia Union university, Howard university, Willisforce and other schools for higher training. The New England Baptist missionary convention held its annual meeting in New York, with the largest attendance, pertaps, in its history. This convention reported a large increase in the number of churches free of debt and the largest amount of money collected throughout its jurisdiction since it was organized at Providence, R. L., in 1875. The National Baptist Sunday School congress met at Birmingham, Ala., with an attendance of over 25,000. Chief among the many events which occurred in July were the annual meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, held at Syracuse, N. Y., and the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, which met in Philadelphia. The event of the month which attracted national attention, however, was the exposition held at Richmond, Va., which opened on July 5 and closed on the 27th. For this event congress appropriated $55,000. Gilles B. Jackson was the chief promoter of the exposition. He received liberal financial support from the states of Virginia and New York and the hearty co-operation of many persons of prominence in the several states. Three Great National Gatherings. Three big gatherings of national importance held during the mouth of August brought together persons from possibly every state in the Union. They were the National Negro Business league, held in Boston; the eighteenth biennial session of the supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias of the World and the eighth biennial session of the encampment of the uniform rank department of the order with the Supreme Court of Calamthe, held at Columbus, O., and the opening of the Lincoln jubilee and half century celebration at Chicago, which lasted from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16. Bishop Samuel Fallowes was president of the commission under whose auspices the celebration was held. A meeting of another organization of great importance was that of the Ancient Order of Mystic Shriners, held in New York. The largest religious gathering of the year was that of the national Baptist convention at Chicago in September. This convention split on the question of ownership of the National Baptist Publishing house at Nashville, Tenn. The matter is being settled by the courts of Tennessee, which have jurisdiction on account of the publishing house being located in that state and from which state its charter was secured. Educational and Legal Matters In commenting on the court's decision Rufus Lewis Perry, the noted Brooklyn lawyer, says: "By the decision of the United States supreme court in the Maryland and Oklahoma cases the man of color has come into his own again; the race has been advanced to its constitutional rights in the states south of the Mason and Dixon line. Preduce has received its deserved rebuke and constitutional rights acknowledged. The cry of 'Watchman, what of the night?' has for its answer, 'All is well.'" The result of the annual meeting of the Negro Organization society, held at Petersburg, Va., showed the society now works through 208 organizations, classified as follows: One hundred and seven religious bodies, 112 school improvement leagues and teachers' associations, 42 fraternal orders, 5 farmers' conferences, 1 emancipation association and 1 bank. It influences more or less directly at least 50 per cent of the cured people in Virginia—that is, nearly 350,000. Convention of Equal Rights League. The accounts of the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Ala., on Sunday, Nov. 14, are too familiar to the public at this time to require comment. He was recognized throughout this nation and in foreign lands as one of America's foremost men. Dr. Washington is succeeded in the principalship of the Tuskegee institute by Major Robert R. Moton of Hampton institute, Virginia. The annual convention of the National Equal Rights league, held in Philadelphia, and the annual meeting of the American Negro academy at Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 28 and 29 were doubtless the two most important gatherings for the month of December. Southern Miscegenation. Kingston, Va.—Mr. Claud Penuel and Miss Caro Jones were married in Norfolk several weeks ago, and now he is under sentence of twelve months on the county roads and she is to serve an equal length of time in the Lenoir county jail, because it is found that he is an Afro-American. Virginia has an anti-intermarriage law. Mr. Penuel has ample means, and he has appealed to the Superior Court. Both are under bond, and the girl is in the court. The Penuel will carry the case to the Superior Court, if necessary. GOOD! MME.C. H. JONES’ Hair Tonic and Invigorator 2a Re 4 hp.

Editor BELIEVE U-BOAT IS OFF §. SHORES Norfolk, Va.—A new and bril- lant expioit was written into the chapter of German commerce-destroy- ing raids when the Britich liner Ap- pam, given up for lost, and with German prize crew aboard, boldly eluded the British warships off the Virginia capes and took refuge in Hampton Roads. ‘The Germans told the story of e¢ven veusels destroyed off the African coast. "The possibility that a German bub. merine aceompanied the Appam ‘and ‘wauld operate on the American coast ‘was voiced by navai officials here and ‘at Washington, ‘The Appam was captured off the Canary islands Jan. 15, four days after she has sailed from Dakar, British West Africa, for Plymonth, England. 481 Persons Aboard Appam. ‘There are 451 persons aboard the ship, eluding 188 survivors of seven ships sunk by the raider which eap- tured the Appam; 20 German civilians being transported from Africa to Ens- land to be placed in detention camps, 155 members of the Appam’s crew, 116 original passengers on the Appam and the prize crew of 22. Whether the captor was a German ‘U-boat or a hitherto unreported Ger- man auxillary cruiser is undetermined, From what was learned by some of the oMeials who boarded the Appam, it is believed that some steamer, armed as a German auxiliary, raiding shipping off the African coast, took the British Imer and put the prize ‘crew aboard. This view is supported by the fact that a submurine could hardly have spared a Heutenant and such @ large crew to a prize. It is also reported the raider was the German cruiser Mowe, though this is not confirmed. Many Women and Children. Many of the passengers on the Ap- pam are women and children, The names of the steamers sunk by the raider are given as the Trader, Ar- thur, Corbridge, Ariadne, Dromonby, Farringford and Clan McTavish. ‘The report of the arrival of the Appam created a profound sensation in Washington. Officials sald that they expected that the prize would be in- terned and that the crew would like- wise be interned until the end of the war. Officials said that a peculiar legal situation is certain to arise before the case finally is disposed of. ‘The British embassy is expected to ingist that the Appam fs an illegal prize in that she put into a neutral port to avoid recapture and that she should be turned over to her owners.

BACK TO OTHER DAYS MODISTES WOULD REVIVE EARLY VICTORIAN IDEAS Possibility That the Suggestion Will Nut Be Received With Great En- thusiasm, for Good Reason— Chignon More Popular.

It cannot be denied that the early: Victorian evening corsage makes con- siderable demands on one's figure. We PRETTY STYLES IN LINGERIE Flounces and Frills in Profusion on Petticoats—Silk Underwear Is Given Decided Preference. While radical changes in lingerie do not occur as frequently as in the outer garments of one’s apparel, a change in fashion can be traced in the undergarments to some extent. For in- stance, petticoats are abloom with flounces and frills where but a short time ago they did not even exist. ‘There are lovely new petticoats, all calling for admiration. Picture a skirt of Soft black taffeta with a wide ruflle of black chantilly lace. Under this 1s an accordion-plaited flounce of flesh pink chiffon to show off the beautiful pat- ‘tern of the lace. Another petticoat for evening wear is entirely of white net with quillings of the same edging ‘square tabs, Inserts of flowered chif- ‘fon in diamond shape are edged with ‘ruffles of the net. ‘There ts a decided preference tor silk in underwear. Lovely hand em- brotdery is seen on chemises, silk vests and union sults even of flesh- colored crepe de chine or the pussy- willow taffeta. The silk underwear, while apparently a luxury, justifies the initlal expense by {ts long life and beautiful laundering. Among the night robes there are beautiful models of taffeta, crepe de chine and a soft washable satin. Pagot- ing, hemstitching, picoting and some embfoidery trim these gowns. There ts a marked absence of lace and frills, which makes even a plain silk gown not such an expense-after all. Many gowns aro sleeveless, showing a “hand- Kerehiet” top caught on the shoulders in some instances. A pocket is a style note and a practical addition as well on one’s silk gown. Quite attractive gowns of soft pink batiste are finished with feather-stitching or smocking. ‘DICTATES OF FASHION Crystal bead trimming is much in vogue. Blanket sports coats have large platds and fringe. Bright colored trimmings appear on white voile waists. ‘The high crowned hat impiles the new close hairdressing. Deep Chinese blue is a favorite shade for evening gowns. ‘Tub silk waists with stripes in strong color are the latest. Sometimes entire trains are formed of ribbon sewed together. ‘The newest hats for every day wear are turned up sailor shapes. Elaborate sport coats of colored velvet have white fur borders. Colored stitching forms the only decoration on some tailored suits. wee SUITABLE FOR BOY OR GIRL simple Washable Pinafore That Will Look Well on Either of the Little People. ‘This pinafore can be made from casement cloth, holland, or linen.

First of all decide what length the pmafore is to be, then take a strip of material double that length and allow ‘bout 12 inches tn width, or wider for a big child; fold the material in ‘two lengthwise, and cut out a square right in the center of the strip; this forms the opening for the neck; the size of this square will depend upon the child again.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1916. have become athletic since those days. Our girls have gone in for outdoor sports of all kinds. ‘The “clinging-vine woman" has gone out of fashion And to carry off an early-Victorian evening dress with real success one must be, or seem, slightly clinging! It seems to breathe feminism—as fominism was understood in the mid- dle of the Jast century. The sloping shoulders of those days seemed made to carry shawls with exquisite grace. ‘They seemed made to carry the bur- dens of fashion, and those only. Since then we women have changed —in spirit and in body. We have be- come vigorous and emancipated. We certainly have lost the art of “carry- ing” a shawl. What then are we going todo with the decollete corsages which leave the whole of shoulders bare at every point? We shall see. All that concerns tne. at tho pres ‘ent montent is the unfolding of the lat- fest fashion schemes of famous Par isian dress artists. The Beer evening corsages of the period Just suggested are quite charm- ing. They recall the wonderful cos- tumes worn by the Empress Eugenie in the days when Wintérhalter painted his famous portraits of ‘the most beautiful women in Europe.” , ‘There ts no sign of a shoulder strap, even one composed of diamonds; the shoulders are quite bare and the cor- sage falls off in a way which would strike terror Into the heart of any or- dinary individual who did not under- stand the little ways of great dress- mekers. It must be recorded that though these corsages seem very decollete they are not, in reality, unduly so. Lit tle sltp bodies made of white or flesh- pink pongee silk are worn underneath ‘and these bodices are so well boned that they remain in position without shoulder straps. ‘The profile head shown in the sketch @isplays the much-discussed chignon at the back of the head. It also shows ‘one of the new tortolse-shell combs, which are placed very low down on the head and which jut out abruptly. ‘The chignon ‘s becoming more and more popular.

For wear with such a coat, a cloth or velvetoen frock of a tailored char- acter would be excellent. ‘The color of this dress could match the color of the cout or harmonize with tt, as preferred. Smart color combinations may be obtained by the bindings on this frock. For instance, in a dress of dark blue gloveskin to match a blue coat, the collar, cuffs sash and pocket openings may be black silk with the shallow facing at the pockets and the lining of the collar of silk in a rose color with the edges of tho fac- ings bound with a straw colored silk. ‘The same straw colored silk could bind tho loose armholes and the shal- low vest opening.

Re ALL KINDS OF TRAYS USED So Many Va'leties Are Offered That the Chief Difficulty Lies in Mak- ing Judicious Selection.
