--- THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 41. WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM OF ART CONSERVATION MEN BACKSHIELDS BILL Members of National Congress Approve of Water Power Measure. CHARGE MEETING IS PACKED Pinchot Puts Up Hard Fight Against Indorsement of the Bill; Claims Power Interests Are Behind the Legislation. Washington, D. C.—Advocates of the Shields water power bill, pending in congress, won their fight in the National Conservation Congress when the congress voted to adopt a majority committee report indorsing the measure. Gifford Pinchot, who at the last congress three years ago defeated a proposal somewhat similar, vainly opposed action. Charges that the convention was packed by the power interests were made and denied. Claim Interests Packed Meeting. The vote, 116 to 39, came after the divided committee report had been debated all afternoon. The minority report opposed indorsement of any legislation and demanded a declaration of principles holding that power sites shall be retained by the government and that all water power development shall be under public control. The Pinchot delegates charged the congress had been called to create sentiment favorable to the Shields and Myers bills and that it did not represent the true conservation sentiment of the country. Mr. Pinchot declared special interests were trying to mold the congress into a lobby for water power legislation. Charles S. Barrett of Georgia, president of the farmers' union, asserted the convention had been packed and being used to exploit power interests. Most of the speech-making was done by the supporters of the minority report. but there were several vigorous defenders of the senate bill. Garfield Opposed Report. James R. Garfield, former secretary of the interior, urged the congress to adopt the minority report and commit itself to no specific legislation. Water power cannot be developed under the present laws, supporters of the majority report declared. They said a majority of the senate had decided the Shields bill was a wise measure after lengthy hearings and debate and insisted no one could accuse the United States senate of being influenced by special interests in passing the bill. ZEPPELINS MAKE RAID BRITISH COAST AGAIN VISITED; NINE PEOPLE KILLED AND 27 WOUNDED. London, Eng—Nine persons were killed and 27 wounded in an air raid of German Zeppelins over the coasts of England and Scotland, the war office officially announced. Fire from high angle guns and British aeroplanes is believed to have damaged badly one of the Zeppelins. The objectives, of the German raiders were evidently Hull, Grimsby, Hartlepool and Newcastle. A German aeroplane bombarded Deal, in Kent, on the North sea coast. Ashtabula, O.-J. A. Clark, aged 75, double of John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Lincoln, is dead at his home here. Clark shortly after the assassination was arrested on a train going into Chambersburg, Pa., when detectives "positively identified" him as the assassin. He was rushed in a special train to Washington, where the mistake was discovered. Clark and Booth were acquaintances. Say Minera WILL Accept Pottsville, Pa. — The opposition to the ratification of the tentative agreement entered into by the anthracite mine workers and operators was not so strongly manifested in the convention of the union men here as had been anticipated by some of those opposed to accepting the new contract. There is no question that the new scale and changed conditions will be accepted by a large majority. Charged With Causing Wife's Death. Fremont, O. — Joshua R. Kiser, Lake Shore Electric motorman, indicted by the grand jury for causing the death of his wife by poisonous drugs, was arrested by Sheriff Shanahan. Mrs. Kiser died Nov. 17, 1915. Find 'Body of Missing Man. Toledo, O. — The body of a man, supposed to be Ernest Wiggins, a seaman, was found in the Maumee river. Wiggins was a member of a harbor tusk crew. Caitlin Fee President Wilson Criticizes President Wilson. Saratoga, N. Y.-The Rt. Rev. James W. Bashford, for 12 years bishop of China, and Rt. Rev. Wilson S. Lewis, resident bishop at Foo Chow, China, presented reports of the growth of Methodism in that country at the session of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. The reports showed that the membership has quadrupled. An important resolution before the conference is a criticism of President Wilson for restoring wines to the White House table. THE GAZETTE SIR ROGER CASEMENT Sir Roger Casement, Irish agitator and leader of the separatist party, who was captured by the British while trying to land in Ireland with a German expedition, is now a prisoner in the Tower of London. TAR AND FEATHERS APPLIED TO FARMER Assaulted at Night by. Masked Men; Threatened With Death Unless He Leaves County. Mount Vernon, O.—The Ku Klux Klan carried but little more fear to people in the south in its day than the new order of terror is bringing to the inhabitants of Jackson township. Samuel Clark, 56, a farmer residing in the township, within 100 yards of the Cochise-koonx county line, was awakened by knocking at his door. He raised his bedroom window, and asked what was wanted. He want to buy that cow that's for sale and the reply. Without stopping to dress, Clark hastened down stairs. Just as he stepped outside the house he was seized, and before he could make an outey was hurried into his front yard by seven masked men. His night-shirt was torn from his body and he was beaten into semi-unconsciousness. A coat of tar was applied with a brush. Then he was rolled in feathers. He also was kicked and beaten. Mr. Clark says he cannot account for the assault, which was committed in the presence of his wife. He admitted, however, that some days ago someone had placed ground glass in his hog feed and killed two of his best frogs. It is also reported that he had an altercation recently with one of his neighbors. Sheriff J. M. Woolson and Prosecuting Attorney Charles L. Vermont are investigating. The sheriff reported that three arrests would be made. The seven men threatened Mr. Clark with death unless he left the country in 10 days, officials say. PLEADS FOR FRIENDSHIP PLEADS FOR FRIENDSHIP SAID KAISER TOLD GERARD THAT Washington, D. C.—It is reported a personal appeal from Emperor William to President Wilson to preserve friendly relations with Germany was trapsmiffed, through a long report from Ambassador Gerard, to the state department. Coupled with this appeal was a remarkable hint of an early termination of the European struggle. The emperor, so it was stated, did not specify which side of the world conflict will suggest mediation to the president. The inference in German circles placed on the suggestions here was that Germany, following expected victories in the summer campaign, might offer to make peace, or that the kaiser expects the allies, having their fill of war, to make the first overtures. Willis Collapses on Stage. Mansfield, O.-Gov. Frank J. Willis collapsed on the stage in the Memorial opera house here while delivering an address before a joint meeting of the four. brotherhoods of railroad employees. The illness of the governor, which was attributed to acute indigestion, seized him after he had been speaking about 10 minutes. He was assisted from the stage and a physician hastily summoned. After a rest the governor was able to return to Columbus. New Bridge Planned. Youngstown, O.—According to plans which are being worked out by county officials, Youngstown will soon have a vladuct 2. 240 feet long that will cost at least $300,000. The proposed structure will span the Mahoning river at Division st. and connect the Brier Hill and Steelton sections of the city in the vicinity of the United States Steel Corporation mills and be a great advantage to thousands of employees of this corporation. This vladuct will give the city three bridges spanning the river. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1916. ZION CONFERENCE HELD AT CAMDEN Forty-third Annual Conference of Influential Religious Body 'Was Most Successful In Its History — Good Work of Dr. J. R. White at Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. By GEORGE E. KING. Camden, N. J. The forty-third annual New Jersey conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, which closed its sessions at the Wesley A. M. E. Zion church in this city the third week in April, was one of the most humorous and successful in its history. Bishop J. W. Clinton presided. Rev. James R. White, D. J., pastor of the church in which the conference was held, deserves great credit for the able manner in which he assisted by his congregation, entertained the conference. He is rated as one of the most progressive ministers of the denomination and a fearless race leader. The Rev. Mr. White was left an orphan at the tender age of ten years. He is a native of Exeter, New Jersey, and has a strong affiliation which he faced at such an early age he had a broad vision and a native ambition, which enabled him to vigorously overcome obstacles and to get a thorough education at Clark university, Atlanta, Ga., and at Payne college, Augusta, Ga. He began his active career in the ministry twenty-four years ago at Augusta, Ga. He at once became a factor in the upfit of his people in his state and helped to wage a strenuous campaign for better schools for Negro youth, and on two occasions, because of taking REV. DR. JAMES R. WHITE. a firm stand for the race to receive an equitable share of the school funds, his life was jeopardized. After pastoring successfully in Georgia the Rev. Dr. White was sent to the Virginia conference and then to Washington, where he also did constructive work for his demonstration. He built Lane chapel in Northeast Washington and became a potent factor in reaching the unreached in that section of the capital. Later he was transferred to Philadelphia, where he was presiding elder for two years. Since then he has with pronounced success pastored in other parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The remarkable enthusiasm of the conference, at the Wesley church was largely due to Dr. White's achievements since he has been in this city. When he came here two years ago the church building was in a dislipidated condition. He organized the members of the church, and they loyalty followed him to the extent that this congregation now has an edifice which reflects credit upon them. Recently an annex was added to the church at a cost of $4,000, and several organizations of the church have equipped the entire plant with electric lights. A large gas range has been put in the kitchen. The main auditorium has been beautifully renovated, and an inspiring, churchly atmosphere prevails. Dr. White believes in Negro brain and skill, and the entire work was done by a Negro contractor. The ministers of Camden received their shawl and the sash in conference because of the splendid work the ministers of the race in this city are doing through their organization, the Ministerial alliance, which was organized by Dr. White. This body of men, with the assistance of the local Negro Business league, in 1915 stopped the play entitled "The Nigger" from showing in this city. The Rev. Dr. White has received many honors. He is a strong force in the economic, social and religious activities of Camden. He has certainly made himself an element for good in the affairs of the local government and has helped to better local conditions among our people. Because of his consistent and inspiring efforts and training Livingstone college, the leading institution of his church, will also confer the degree of doctor of divinity on him. Being a man of strong qualities and equipped with the ability to lead, he is one of the leading delegates to the general conference of his church which convenes in May at Lonsdale Ky. He has won the admiration of the better element of both races wherever he has labored. STORY OF FIFTEEN CENTS GIVEN FOR AFRICA'S UPLIFT How Emily Sanford's Mite Paved Way For Great Missionary Work. At a meeting of the Texas foreign mission convention, held at Bryan, Tex., during a visit of the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the national Baptist foreign mission board, the work of a two cent stamp in central Africa was related. After hearing the story the Rev. Mr. Littleton of Rockdale said in addressing the evidence that he wished to make a statement and an offering. In the course of his remarks the Rev. Mr. Littleton said: "Two years ago Mrs. Emily Sanford, a member of our church, was taken very ill. While on what proved to be he, deathbed she said to the members of her missionary circle, 'Here is 15 cents; please use it for African.' This 15 cents has been kept in the missionary box for two years, and how I want to give it to Dr. L. G. Jordan to use in the way he thinks best." Dr. Jordan accepted the 15 cents with thanks, but at the time did not see to what use he could put it except to deposit it in the common treasury. But while en route to headquarters he visited Olvet Baptist church in Chicago and in a session related the incident. At the close of the service a woman came forward and asked if she might use the 15 cents to buy cloth with which to make an imposition, from the sale of which other aprons could be made until an "Early Sanford Gund" could be started. She made the apron and returned it to the church. Time passed on, and the incident was seemingly forgiven. A few months later Dr. Jordan returned to Chicago, and by a mere coincidence the apron came into his hands. It was sold for "missions" at auction in the Olvet church for 75 cents. This amount was given to Mrs. Jackson, the originator of the blen, to make other aprons to be sold. This was done and the was recumulated. A total of 84 worth of aprons were made for another trip to Texas. In October, 1913, on route to Texas to attend the general Baptist convention at San Antonio, he lost all language, including the last vestige of the "Emily Sanford" aprons. He told the story to the foreign mission board and asked that the ball in the proposed building for the school organized at Grand Rua, west coast of Afrika, by Mrs Susie M. Taylor he known as the "Emily Sanford ball." On Wednesday night, Dec. 21, 1915, Dr. Jordan spoke in Mount Gillard Baptist church, Fort Worth, Tex., and again told of the "Emily Sanford fund"—how it was started, how all was lost and how he gave up. At the close of the talk a note was passed to Dr. Jordan which contained, 50 cents. The note read: "I am the granddaughter of Emily Jordan. I lose 50 cents to revive your apron project." Providently, as on a previous occasion, Dr. Jordan stopped in Alhenga on route home and again related the story of the 15 cents, and to his surprise the originator of the apron project, a Mrs. Jackson, was in the audience and早已 started to work on the apron matter. Dr. Jordan has requested that the women of the various missionary societies make 2,000 aprons, the sale of which will go to pay for the Emily Sanford hall at the Bible Industrial academy at Grand Basas, west coast of Africa, of which Miss Susie M. Taylor and Miss Eliza L. Davis are principal and assistant principal, respectively. STRONG AGENCY FOR UPLIFT. Plan of a New York Organization to Aid the Unemployed. An ideal and unique enterprise is the plan of the National Urban league to provide permanent employment for 500 colored families in the warehouses and tobacco plantations in and around Hartford, Conn. This work has heretofore been done by Poles, Italians and other foreigners. This spring there has been a serious shortage in this labor, and the growers have been persuaded to use Negroes if a reliable and dependable supply can be obtained. John T. Clark, the secretary of the industrial bureau of the National Urban league, has made four trips to Hartford and investigated thoroughly the entire situation, and it is upon his report that the league has decided to enter the campaign for the 500 families needed to supply the demand in Hartford. In addition to this venture the league has been requested to secure 2,000 workers for the harvesting season with the same corporation in Hartford. Agents will be sent throughout the southern schools to list the young men and women who desire work for the summer in Hartford, where they can find employment during the months of July and August in harvesting tobacco. Ample supervision will be given by the league to the housing, recreation and other living conditions of the people during the time they are employed. The wages offered are good, ranging from $1.75 to $8 per day. Daughters of Isis Hold Resception. The growth of Palestine temple, No. 9, Daughters of Isis, in Pittsburgh is a compliment to itself and that branch of the order in general. After its regular business meeting on Wednesday evening, April 12, the temple had its guest at a reception members of Progress and Esther Chagwai and members of Salma temple, No. 2. The reception was held at Chloe Hall or Wythe avenue. LEADING STATE NORMAL COLLEGE Brief Account of Progress Made at an Agricultural and Industrial Institution Under the Supervision of Professor William J. Hale—Training Young Men and Women For Leadership. Nashville, Tenn. — The Agricultural and Industrial State Normal college in this city for the training of young men and women stands second to none in the country. While it is young in many respects, it has taken its place among the colleges of the country under the direction of one of the foremost educators of the race in the person of Professor William J. Hale, who believes in doing things well and who is doing a great work here. The school is not quite four years old, but it is doing the work of a college many years its senior. It is having a successful career, because the board of education was formunate in securing the services of a man who PRESIDENT W. J. HALE. knew school work and know well how to direct such an institution along all lines. The school has a good, strong faculty, which works in harmony with Professor Hale. The teachers are energetic and make each minute count. Professor Hale has the confidence of the best people of both races in the work of the school. There has been much stress put on domestic science the past year, giving this department high rank in efficiency. At the head of this department is an expert who has had the benefit of practical training as well as of theory in the best institutions of the country. Special attention is paid to agriculture, and the school farm is said to be one of the best in the country. The young men are taking to farming, and may it be said that there are some of the young women who are making a specialty of agriculture so as to be of special assistance to their community. As to Professor Hale, it has been said many times by numerous competent judges that the state board of education was extremely fortunate in securing the services of a man such as he has proved to be. He is known by probably more people of his race engaged in the teaching profession than any other in Tennessee and personally liked and admired by them all. He has been able to interest almost every schoolteacher, minister and leader of the Negro, race in the state school. This interest has never vanished, and today it is positively a fact that more Negroes throughout the state are directly in touch with the A. and I. normal and are possessed more with the idea that it is "their" school than any other of the large number of educational institutions for colored people in Tennessee. Professor Hale came up from the ranks, having been a teacher for many years. He has been district schoolteacher and high school principal. He has been institute instructor for county and state. He possesses unusual executive ability, has a knack of getting things done and this is what has made for him success. As an evidence of what is here stated the following words of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, the greatest of all industrial educators, is given. He said, "There is no parallel case to the great progress of such a school as has been accomplished by President Hale in so short a time." The extensive acquaintance of President Hale with the colored teachers and leaders throughout the state has served him exceptionally well in the organization of what is now conceded the largest and most successful summer school for teachers conducted anywhere in the entire country, and during the summer of 1914, nearly 1,000 colored teachers from over the state were brought to the A. and L. normal to engage in this work. It was by far the largest body of teachers ever assembled together in school session to study modern methods of teaching. The summer term is of six weeks' duration, and the work was conducted by President Hale, who was assisted by the regular normal faculty, all experts, together with a number of special instructors. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Eoin MacNeill, leader of the Irish volFunteers, and editor of their official organ, the Irish Volunteer, was shot during the fighting in Dublin. He is professor in the National University of Ireland at Dublin and has been commander of the volunteers for nearly two years. PITTSBURGH STRIKERS RIOT AT BRADDOCK Two Are Killed. Four Probably Fatally Wounded and Scores of Others Seriously Hurt. Pittsburgh, Pa. — Two men are known to have been killed, four probably fatally wounded and a score of others seriously hurt when a mob said by the authorities to have been composed principally of foreigners attacked the Edgar Thomson works of the Carnegie Steel Co. in Bradockd. A pitched battle lasting an hour followed, during which 400 shots were fired, but the rioters were finally forced to retreat in the face of a deadly fire from the riot guns and revolvers of deputy sheriffs and plant guards. District Attorney R. H. Jackson announced that he would take steps at once for the deportation of all foreigners connected with the trouble. A direct result of the bloody battle may be the calling out of the national guard. The sheriff of the county has conferred with state officials to this end. Another development was the arrest of the notorious Anna Bell, young woman leader of the Westinghouse strikers, charged with murder in connection with the Bradockd riot. The riot at Braddock was the climax of a day of disorder in the boroughs of Braddock and Rankin during which mobs stormed the plants of four big steel companies, drove the workmen out and then partly wrecked the interior of the plants. Many of those injured in the fighting at the Edgar Thomson works were spirited away by the rioters and for hours after quiet had been restored, injured continued to be brought to hospitals for treatment. Sniper hidden in doorways, and windows near the 13th street entrance tried to pick off deputies who were fighting to hold back the mob, and two deputies were said to have been hit. Women also joined in the mad fight to gain entry to the works, and two of these were wounded. The two men killed were foreigners. The mob first attacked the office of W. J. Dixon, superintendent of transportation at the Edgar Thomson works, and with clubs and stones wrecked it. Deputies, rushing to prevent the destruction of the office, were compelled to use it as a barricade and from behind the wreckage they poured shot after shot into the 'mob while they withdrew. After stoning the plant for 45 minutes another charge was made, and in a hand-to-hand struggle the deputies and guards were forced back inside the plant. Deputies who had been on guard duty at the Westinghouse plants in Wilmerding and East Pittsburgh were rushed to the scene, but were forced to fight their way to the sides of the other deputies who were gradually being forced further back into the plant. After a fierce battle, which raged for several minutes, the mob was forced back out of the gates and finally compelled to run for shelter before the fire of the deputies. The movement started early in the day when a procession was organized by Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. strikers at East Pittsburgh to continue their efforts to bring out the workmen in the other factories of the Turtle Creek and Monongahela valleys in support of their demand for an eight-hour day. Searching for Murderer West Thompson, Conn.—A possess is searching the woods for John Elliott, a farmhand who in a fit of jealousy rage shot and killed Miss Sybil Pettin and her father, G. A. Pettin. The tragedy took place at the threshold of the girl's room in the Pettin farmhouse. Her father_was shot first and her body fell across his as she was struck by the bullet. Elliott is said to be feeble-minded and to have served a prison sentence in Rhode Island for killing another young woman in a fit of jealousy. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NO DEFINITE TIME SET TO WITHDRAW Movement Will Begin as Soon as Mexicans Show They Control the Situation. OFFICERS ARE DISAPPOINTED Mexicans Believe That With Arrangements Made the Hunting Down of a Washington, D. I. C.-Secretary of War Baker has received an official report from Maj. Gen. Scott, chief of staff, on the agreement reached at his conference with Gen. Alvaro Obregon, but will not make it public until the president passed upon it. The best information obtainable here is that the agreement is along the following lines: The United States forces will be confined to a belt 120 kilometers, or 80 miles, from the American border; the farthest base of the Pershing expedition will be Colombia Dublan, in Chihuahua; on the Mexican Northwestern railway; the troops will have the use of the railroads in the territory designated; the retirement of the American troops will not be sudden, but gradual. It was declared no definite time was set for the withdrawal of the American expedition from Mexico. Gen. Obregon was informed that Mexicansoil would be evacuated as soon as the Carranza government had proved it had full control of the situation. Gen. Scott is understood to have expressed his opinion that the United States troops, would be recalled in 60 days. Give Mexican Troops. Greater Freedom The object of the retirement of the American troops is to give the Carranza forces greater freedom in running down Villa bands. Heretofore the de facto army has been held back from the chase of the bandit leader for fear of flashing with Americans. Reports of the agreement at Juarez caused keen disappointment to army officers. They declared the United States had abandoned its claim of a right to pursue and "take" Villa and disperse his following. They indicated it would be of little value to the United States to have the use of railways in a restricted area, far from the locality where Villa is believed to be hiding. El Paso, Tex.—Mexican military men believe the withdrawal of the American troops from Mexico will take place in about two months, it was learned here. American officers will make no comment on the subject. The Mexicans say that in view of the disposition of troops to be made by Gen. Alvaro Obregon, in keeping with American forces, according to the tentative agreement made with Gen. Scott, the hunting down of the bandit groups in Chihuahua and Durango can scarcely take more than that period of time. On assurance from Gen. Carranza the bandits are dispersed, the northward movement of American troops will attain full speed and it will not belong until the last trooper crosses over the international boundary line. Contingent Upon Co-Operation. The retirement of the Americans will be digified and contingent upon the effective co-operation of the Mexicans. It is regarded as altogether probable that a certain percentage of the troops will recross the border some time before the word comes—that the Carranza government has accomplished its mission. It is understood Gen. Obregon is pledged to throw every available man of his military strength into the hunt for the marauding bands. It is believed almost all the 25,000 men, suggested by Gen. Carranza as a Mexican border patrol, in case the American government consented to withdrawal, will be utilized in the campaign. FRENCH MAKE GAINS CLAIM-CAPTURE OF GERMAN POSITIONS BY ASSAULT; TAKE PRISONERS AND GUNS. Paris, France.—The official communication issued by the war office reads: "West of the Meuse there was a violent bombardment in the sector of Avocourt. Toward the end of the afternoon our troops, by a brilliant assault, captured German positions northwest of Le Mort Homme. We took about a hundred prisoners and four machine guns. A sharp conflict in the Argonne region, just west of Verdun, also took place, the Germans gaining a foothold in advanced French positions, after liberally shelling them with gas-carrying projectiles. The French subsequently drove out the German troops, inflicting heavy losses upon them. Salute Flag or Go to Jail. Des Moines, Ia. - Hubert Eaves, an 11-year-old boy, who recently refused to salute the United States flag at school exercises, will have to give the salute or go to the state reformatory, Juvenile Judge Dudley has ruled. The boy said he would salute nobody but his God. His parents belong to the Sanctified Sect and claim that real religion has no place for such things as patriotism. "The flag comes first and religion second," said Judge Dudley in delivering his ultimatum to the boy. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year.....$1.50.

SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1916 DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our work to understand it"—Abraham Lincoln. Gov. Frank B. Willis should get out of the way as a Republican candidate for Governor, this fall, and thus give the party in this state a fair chance to win, with some other candidate. The "Better Holmes" edition, last week, of the Norfolk (Va.) Journal & Guide was very creditable indeed and Editor P. B. Young has every reason to feel proud of it. Congratulations confere. Has Bishop Alexander Walters forsaken President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and the democratic party? It would seem so. We have not heard a word from him since his famous letter, of some months ago, to the Chief Executive of the nation. "The Birth of a Nation," that infamous photoplay, has returned to Los Angeles, Cal., for a second long run, and the New Age, one of our race papers there, asks, "Have the Negroes of Los Angeles no race pride?" We have been trying for months to get an answer to the same question from the "Negroes" of Chicago where the miserable film has been run for many months without the shadow of an effort on their part being made to have dissolved the temporary injunction under which it is being exhibited. It looks as if many Los Angeles and Chicago "Negroes" are much alike in at least one respect. This is to be regretted and greatly deplored. Several months ago President Thomas Woodrow Wilson admitted that he is not a business man, and he has proved it by his administration. In his Jefferson Day speech, he said: "We have turned the thoughts and the energies and the conquering genius of the business men of America to the great field of the business of the world at large." That comes from the same man who said that "it is very tedious to hear men lie, particularly when you know they are lying." The fact of the matter is that Democratic legislation destroyed American business to such an extent that European and Asiatic business men became the "conquering genius" in the American market. The outbreak of the war in Europe was all that saved us from complete disaster. It is true that the thoughts of American business men are at the moment turned to the field of the world at large, but that is due entirely to the effect of the war. And Wilson knows it, but is intellectually dishonest enough to say, "We did it." WILLIS AND DAVIS Miss Ruth Brown, one of our most promising young ladies, will her clerkship in the Water department at the City hall in a civil service examination, and from democrats, too. She has decidedly the best position of any of our people employed by the city. The Davis-Maschke Republican faction's local administration absolutely refuses it seems, to appoint any Afro-American male or female, to a clerkship or higher position at the City hall. Cuspidie "renovators," garbage "hunters and handlers," "white wings," and like positions, are all right for those who want them but what about our young and older men and women of education and ability? Are there no clerkships and higher positions for them as well as the Irish, Jewish, German, Italian and other hyphenated American voters in this community? All the Attucks club (job-holders) resolutions "this side of Jericho" and publication of the list of the few petty appointments the Willis administration has given our 60,000 voters of Ohio, will NOT fool our intelligent voters of Cleveland or the state into believing we have been given anything else but "the shadow for the substance" by both the Maschke-Davis faction and the Willis administration, while Gov. Willis has NOT given us a single personal appointment in spite of his voluntary promise to do so. STONE CAUGHT WILSON'S "JACK." When Editor W. Monroe Trotter stood up and talked to President Thomas Woodrow Wilson as a MAN should, a year or so ago, and not as the latter had been accustomed to being addressed in the South by Afro-American servants. Wilson showed his southern birth and training in the usual southern prejudiced way, and the daily newspapers of the country, almost without exception, helped to create the general impression that Editor Trotter had insulted the President. This, of course, was not the case but many people believed it just the same and doubtless do even unto this day because they have not learned differently. Recently the President had a real experience along the insult line that for obvious reasons was not heralded throughout the country like the alleged Trotter "insult." The Philadelphia North American publishes an account of a conference between the chief executive and members of the House and Senate Foreign Relations Committees, in which President Wilson received pretty rough treatment. Very few of the daily newspapers of the country published the story at all. Senator Stone, chairman of the Senate Committee, had assured the members of the Senate that he had the President's word that nothing would be done, which might precipitate war between this country and Germany without consulting congress first. At the beginning of the meeting of the committee called by the President, in order to say to them what he later said to both houses of Congress in joint session, Mr. Stone was stunned to hear that the note to Germany had already been forwarded without any consultation whatever with congress. As the President talked Senator Stone occasionally looked at his watch. When the hour for the appointment to close arrived, without waiting for the President to conclude or dismiss his guests, Senator Stone sprang from his chair, pulled out his watch and said: "Well, Mr. President, the time is up. Have you got anything more to say?" The President looked astonished. "Senator" he said slowly, "you look as serious as I feel." "And I feel a damn sight more serious than I look." snapped the "gum-shoe" senator from Missouri as he turned and strode from the room. The other members of the party followed. Thus did real insult, possibly merited, come to the President for his failure to keep his promise to "show" the Senator from Missouri, and his colleagues. And there was no great "howl" about it in the daily papers of the country, either. THE "UNFIT" AMERICANS It would be rather embarrassing for Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, and Senator George E. Chamberlain, now of Oregon and a native of Mississippi, to go upon the same stump in the political campaign next Full Senator Chamberlain said in the Senate a few days ago that the American soldier, like the American laborer, demands to be better fed, better clothed, and better cared for than the soldier or laborer of any other country. Senator Williams, discussing the proposed protective tariff on dystuffs, says that if German chemists can produce dystuffs cheaper than we can, every Democrat who believes it is not the business of the government to hot-house unfit competitors would take the position that a duty upon dystuffs is not necessary. It would be interesting to have Senator Chamberlain and Senator Williams explain to an audience of American workmen just what they be动机 by "unfit competitors." The difference between the standard of living which the American laborer demands and that which is satisfactory to the European is great. According to the combined reasoning of these Democratic statesmen, if the American laborer is not willing to come to the standard of living of the European, and thus enable the American dystuff factory to produce as cheaply as can be done in Germany, he is an "unfit competitor." Although John Sharp Williams is a Senator from Mississippi, he is a very influential factor in the party which is now making tariff laws for the entire United States. American workmen who do not like being placed in the "unfit" class because they demand to be better fed, better clothed, and better cared for than any other workmen on earth should not be in any doubt as to how their ballots should be marked when they go to the polls in November. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." Promoters Still Fighting in the Courts to Present the Infamous Film in Ohio. Columbus, Q., The Epoch Producing Co. of New York Tuesday again asked the state supreme court to set aside a ruling of the state board of moving picture censors prohibiting the showing of movie "The Birth of a Nation" film in Ohio. The company states the picture has been sanctioned by the national board of censors, which is really no board at all—a voluntary servicing affair, ridiculous as a matter of fact and work it does. The fight to obtain permission to show the film play in Ohio has been waged by the producers for months. The state board has denied the ground that the production conveyed disloyal, insulting and outrageous sentiments and promotes the mob spirit, etc., etc. A GREAT TOUR!

SHOT AND KILLED A BOY. Lafayette, Ind.-After witnessing the picture, April 24, "The Birth of a Nation," at a local theater, Henry Brocks, (white), who five weeks ago came here from Kentucky, walked out on the main street of the city and fired three bullets to the body of Eleanor Brock, aged 15, a Myrtle American high school student. The boy died in a hospital. Brock is in jail under a charge of murder. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1916. A. MATT. N. GLASER. SAVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The primary of last week Tuesday clearly demonstrated that there is a large per cent of the voters of Ohio who are displeased with the Willis administration. It showed that Willis is too weak a man for the Republicans to run for Governor in the August primary, and in order to cement the party and defeat the Democratic nominee, the Republicans must place another man in the field against Willis. This is the sooner the battle six weeks. The sooner the strong Republican candidate is chosen the better it will be for the party. If it is left until a few weeks before the August primary then the party will go down to defeat. We honestly believe any Democrat will be able to defeat Willis. This must not happen. The country needs big Republican leaders, not weaklings. The time has come when Willis must step down and out. He ran second in the April primary, but it took the work of every standup organization in the State to do this. Methods, never before resorted to in a primary, were used to nominate him. The fight of the Anti-Willis men was centered in the battle of the henchmen was to pull him through. All others were forgotten by the Governor. Thanks !---Appreciation Thanks !---Appreciation To my friend, Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Cleveland Gazette. The colored vote over Ohio certainly proved itself Anti-Willis. Your paper and your personal support delivered the goods. Keep up the good work, for there will be further opportunity for the colored voter to again register protest against Willisism. Always your friend. MATT GLASER. DOINGS OF THE RACE Mrs. Alice Moore Dunbar, widow of the poet, was married to Robert J. Nelson of Reading, Pa., recently. She has been teaching in Howard High School at Wilmington, Del. An Atlanta, Ga., court has ordered the contests over Bishop H. M. Turner's will to be settled out of court. All the real estate and personal property is to be sold by the executor. Memorial exercises in honor of the late Prof. James Monroe Gregory, counsel and first president of the Bordentow, N. J., Manual Training, and Industrial School for our Youth were held at that school, April 21. Prof. Gregory, when a boy, lived for years in Cleveland, O. When President Wilson permitted southern cabinet members to introduce the segregation of Negro employees in their departments, he gave the cue that emboldened the south to apply a similar policy to Negro residents in its cities. -Milwaukee (Wisc.) Daily Free Press. * The amendment, to the constitution of the Methodist Episcopal Church, to allow the General Conference, which met in Saratoga, May 1, to elect bishops for races and languages, was defeated, according to the announcement of Dr. Joseph B. Hingoley, secretary of the General Conference. The total vote cast in favor of the amendment was 4,921 and against it 3,481. It lacked 680 votes to reach the necessary two-thirds. REFUSE NEGRO SOLDIERS Toronto, Canada—Forty physical recruits, able-bodied men, have been refused by every battalion in the Sec. ond division. The men had responded to the call sent out by the Canadian Observer, a race paper, but the Observer has not been successful in having the men accepted by the government, although the apprehension has been given by Sin Sam Hughes. Organization of the unit is now being held up pending the return of the Minister of Militia. * * * *** It is said that repeaters, stampeders and single shotters, who were out for Willis, were there in great numbers. It was life and death with the governor, and his chenchmen did not mind the methods resorted to. Yet he failed to bring out the big vote that he expected. The vote of protest against him was not the usual anti-vote that would be cast against anyone. It was much too large for that. It was a protest against the governor, and a presidential challenge to him to dare to run for governor at the August primary. When more than 40,000 votes of protest, with only a 25 percent vote cast, means 160,000 Republican voters who will not vote for Willis, are made against a candidate in a primary there is some cause for restlessness. The wiser and older Republican realize that a stronger Republican than Willis should be selected to make the race against the Democratic nominee. Willis gained a temporary victory, but he cannot win in the November election. If he has the good of the party at heart he will not wait until he brings destruction on it, but step aside and ask for a new organization to select another man for the gubernatorial chair. Willis big enough to do this?—Cincinnati Republican. with, Editor, The Cleveland Gazette. Ohio certainly proved itself Anti-Willis. al support delivered the goods.

The organization is to be praised for bringing them to the city. Prof. Byrd Prillerman, president of our institute, at Institute, W. Va., and J. A. Kenney, president of the student body, will attend a convention in this city, May 12. Prof. Prillerman will address the W. Va. S. S.

Fox, former resident of this city and Elyria, returned to the city, the first of the week, from Toronto, Canada, where for about a year he has been employed as a motorman on the street cars of that city. He says that the city is a great place for working in the service of the Toronto Street Railway Co., the private secretary to the general manager being a member of the race, a son of Councilman Hubbard of Toronto; that there are about thirty Afro-Canadian and Afro-American conductors and motormen, and two inspectors. This is certainly encouraging. Mr. Fox is visiting in 830 St. Beauclair, Mrs. Beauclair Terrell of 830 St. Rev. Hampton and Rev. Bailey preached Sunday morning and evening, respectively, at Mt.

They have kept our people of Chicago busy fighting off both separate schools and segregation ever since. The A. M. C. A. advocates here evidently want to bring about. Whether they do or not, one thing sure it is exactly what they would bring to pass if they were successful. Two-thirds of our public school teachers would be dismissed, first thing, as only about 12 of the 35 or 38 could teach in the one school. The other schoolchildren would have to attend, some traveling many miles to reach it. --- J. E. BRANHAM'S 4401 Central Ave. PUSHAW The Arcade. Superior Entrance. *OPEN SUNDAYS.

The Creator never intended for the black man to look upon the white race as a God or as his superior, but as his equal by nature and as a mortal being like himself. To imitate others is dislike him. So let us, on our own foundation and prove to the world that a man or woman does not have to belong to any particular race to be noble. This means self and race respect.

The occasion will mark the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the church by Richard Allen. In order to create interest and enthusiasm among all members of the denomination Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, has offered two gold medal prizes, the first to the person who composes the best centennial ode of African Methodism and the second to the Sunday school or Allen league member who writes the best essay on Richard Allen. The essay is not to exceed 1,000 words. The manuscript should be sent to Dr. Wright as soon as possible, as it has been arranged to announce the names of the winners not later than May 10. The judges will consist of one bishop, one literary critic or magazine editor and two teachers of English. SOUTH TIRES OF MOB LAW New Organization Formed to Conduct Campaign Against Lynching. An organization to be known as the New Association of Southern Church Colleges has been formed in Alabama for the purpose of conducting an educational campaign against lynching in the south. The association is composed of eighteen southern institutions of learning, and its president is Dr. C. M. Bishop of the Texas Presbyterian college. Forty southern schools have signified their desire to aid in carrying on the purpose of the new association. This is a move in the right direction, which will accomplish great good. No doubt the south feels very keenly the disgrace heaped upon it by the practice of the mobs, which take away the lives of human beings whether guilty or innocent. High School Girls' Educational Tour. Lillian C. Dodson was one of the eighty-five pupils of the girls' high school in Brooklyn who accompanied Dr. William H.

Jackson was the only Negro farmer near Boulder, Colo. He was industrious and was well liked ‘by his white neighbors, but in the planting and harvest times when there ‘was a dearth of farmhands they could generally outbid him in the labor mar- Ket, leaving him without assistance at the crucial times. He found it impos- sible to keep colored farm hands for any length of time because, with no other members of their race near at hand, they found it a lonely life. In 1906 Jackson began to think about the situation and decided that what was needed was a community of col- ered people which would be large enough to be self-sufficient. Having come to a decision he started to work out his plans. Since then there has grown up on former government land in Weld county, Colo., a settlement of 250 Negro men and women fairly start. ed toward independence. The name of the settlement is Dearfield, and the force behind it is the Dearfteld Devel- ‘oping company, organized on a co- ‘operative basis and preaching self. help. ‘The story of the struggles which the founder and the small group of pio: neers which he gathered around him had, and of the momentum which the movement gained as it became suc cessful, is told by W. J. Harsha in an interview with Jackson in the South- ern Workman. Rfforts were first made to obtain suitable land from the state land of flee, but none was found available. ‘Then attention was directed to the federal authorities and locations were offered in three different counties in Colorado, Jackson and the two or three men whom he had associated with him finally selected the Weld county site because of: its fortility, STaeviney ot water, and, good rath roa connections with the large mar- kets of Denver only 70 miles away. ‘The Jackson family was the first to settle, in May, 1910, and a home was established a year later. Of the first settlers Mr. Jackson says: “I met most of the first settlers in casual way—in restaurants and bar. ber shops and on street corners. 1 ‘was invited to speak at our Denver church om the importance to our people of getting land before tt is too late; after the meeting people crowded around me asking for par- ticulars, After several men had filed they sent thefr friends to me. Woman claimants—widows, spinsters, desert: ‘ed wives—were particularly active. We publish a little paper and mention im it all filings made, and this at- tracted attention. I am now recety. ing lots of mail and many callers ask- ing for homes. “The Dearfield settlors were as poor ‘ag people could be when they took up homesteads. Their advancement has been something wonderful for our people, who know nothing of pioneer Ulte. Some who filed on their claims had not enough money to ship their household goods and pay all their rail road fare. They pafd their fare as far as they could and walked the balance ‘of the way to Dearfleld. Soon atter arriving in Dearfield they secured ‘work with the wealthy white farmers in the district and began to build houses on their claims. Some lived in tents, others in dugouts, and some in natural cayes in hillsides. “The first year there were only seven families in the settlement, and we had only three teams. We man- ‘aged to get in some garden corn, mel: ons, pumpkins, squash, Mexican A big piece of work done at Day- tona by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune was the clearing up of the turpentine @istricts. Such places have an evil reputation in the South. A man will buy a large tract of pine forest for the purpose of getting the turpentine. He puts up a few shanties and a distillery and gathers together the riff-ratf that he can find on the streets and sets them to work at small pay and large promise of rum. Women are sent out as ‘cooks, and the place {s soon un- savoringly spoken of as a “turpentine camp.” “We are changing conditions down there,” Mrs. Bethune declared. “Once ‘& week two or three workers or stu- dents of the school aro sent to the various camps to speak to the women and children, The people are shown the right method of living, the dignity ot the home, and the error of their ways. The children get three months ‘of schooling every year. The men get higher wages and have learned how to spend and save judiciously.

A cold-blooded view of the war hos- pitals reveuls the wonderful and oth- erwise unobtainable practice that young surgeons, of which many are ‘Americans, are obtaining. The young fellows who are going into that pro- foasion could not have chosen a better lass for their graduation than 1914 or 1915. Those employed tn France receive 142 a week and $3 a day ex. ‘pense money, Fuel off that works weil in engines ‘of certain types Is being produced in Geeden from shale and slate, beans and potatoes. We cleared a few seres for hay ground, removing the Sagebrush by hand, the women and children wielding grubbers as indus- triously as the men, though not as sturdily, perhaps; and after grubbing we plowed, harrowed and burned the remaining brush.” | Suffering in the little community was intense during the first winter. ‘There were only two frame houses. Firewood had to be carried from three to seven miles. Three of the horses died from starvation, «nd the other three were too weak tO pull even an empty wagon, Mr. Jackson continued. Yet the little group managed to keep up their own and ench other's cour- age, and after the first winter was weathered, further problems and hardships were more easily met end overcome. Now, in addition to havior settled all tho available claims, & small Negro town is growing up at Dearfield, where professional men, tradespeople, artists and manufactur. ers on a small scale serve the needs of the farming community. From the inception of the settle. ment Jackson and his colleagues tried to advertise their movement for a Ne gro farming community in such a way that white peopie would not hear about it and come in end take up the land where it was hoped that colored farmers would settle. These offorts were only successful in a measure, ‘and many of the best locations were taken up by white settlers. At the same time Mr. Jackson speaks with considerable satisfaction of the type of white man who came into the com munity, and of the fact that most of them have shown a willingness to sell out their holdings at reasonable valu ations to prospective Negre settlers Owing to the laws governing the taking up of homesteads it was not possible for the settlers to gather to gether and clear one common plot for cultivation. Instead, the method of co-operative help used was for a group to collect on the homestead ot one settler after another and clear away enough land on each claim to start the prospective owner. In this way each colonist soon had under cul tivation the amount of land required by the government for proving up his title to the homestead. After the first few years, during which {t was absolutely necessary to devote all the tillable land available to the cultiva tion of the commonest staples and for age for the stock, the farmers gradu. ally began to add various kinds of vegetables and fruits, including the inevitable watermelon, not only for home consumption, but also as a sur plus, was raised, for sale in the mar kets of Denver. Then attention was turned to improving the yield of the crops, particularly hay, until now the colony has passed from the stage of bare self-sufticiency to increasing pros perity, ‘The scarcity and high price of coal in Spain has become a problem as well as a menace to all manvfacturing in dustries in that country. With lessened importations of British coal and soar- ing prices for freight more attention is being paid to domestic coal, of which there are large undeveloped de- posits. According to returns, 1,595, 028 tons of coal were imported into Spain and 167,795 tons of coke during the first 11 months of 1915, in contrast to 2,313,630 tons of coal and 328,107 tons of coke in 1914, a decrease of 718, 602 tons of coal and 160,312 tons of coke. tona had to vote on the drink question. ‘Three hundred and fifty of our chil dren marched through the streets sing: ing songs of prayer and faith. 1 was waiting at the poll and as the men passed me I begged them in the names of their families and the citizenship with which they could do so much, to vote dry—and they did. “I consider the Daytona school a civilizer.

We had to be careful that the braid on our skirts didn’t become ripped, to hang in loops of untidiness. We had to see to it that the belt of our skirt didn’t sag. We had to see to it that the leather belt we wore exactly coincided with the skirt belt, We had to see to ft that the ribbon or muslin collar we wore exactly made connections with the blouse beneath It, Yes, those ware, indeed, difficult days. ‘Today neatness counts as much as ever, but there are not so many pit- falls for the woman who would be neat. Neatness of footgear counts more than ever before. The shoes must be ‘spotless, well polished and in good re- ‘pair. Heels that slant are an outrage on good dressing; moreover, they are decidedly unhealthful. It goes without saying that the hatr must be neat. A hair net sometimes produces a stiff effect, but that {s bet- ter than a sloppy one. So choose the hair net in windy weather, and learn to adjust It becomingly. “This year, when our milliners tell us to wear our hats straight on the head, neither tipped to left or right, neat hair ts more than ever essential. Immaculate gloves count for much in producing a smart appearance.

Now that short sleeves are back the glove question becomes one of more than usual interest. One of the latest reports from Paris says that the short puff sleeve will surely be the thing during the next three months. This means the wearing of the 16-button glove, in glazed kid or suede, preferably in white, but pei misaible ia beige, French gray or tan, according to the color of one's frock. Fabric gloves, which the practical woman likes because of their washa- ble quality, have advanced in price be- cause of the difficulty of importing them since the outbreak of the Euro- pean war.

The beefsteak, gloire de lor- raine and other varieties may be ex: pected to grow well and to flower, Ferns in variety are available for the window box and may be selected at any florist’s to suit the taste of the grower, but dwarf varieties are better suited for the room available. Ferns may be grown with begonias satisfac- torlly. Both require a temperature lower than that of the average living room. Coleus is another group of plants that may be grown {a a window box, but they must have sun. The leaves of these plants have a wide range of color and markings, as well as of size and shape.

Cut round the two circles, fold them in half, then cut into two and each half circle will make one shade. Now line the shade with some soft tissue paper to tone with the decora- tions of the room, such as pale pink or yellow. From the wall paper cut out one or two pretty sprays of flowers and folt- age, just as though they were for a ncrapbook; paste these flowers on the shade, arranging them as pretty~ as possible. Fold the paper round to make the shade, and paste it well at the side. When the shade is dry trom the pasting, put a strip of black paper or gold up the side where the shade has been joined, and round the top and bottom; this is not essential, but it makes the shade look much more fin- ished. ‘The shades, when soled, may be cleaned by rubbing over with bread- erumbs When shades are wanted for an in- valid's room, it 1s wise to line them with soft green tissue paper, as this color is most restful and beneficial to the eyes.
