LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD PRODIGY IN CENTRAL AFRICA Negro Boy Marvel in Languages and White Man's Learning, Says Miss Marie Jensen, Methodist Missionary, Just Returned. VOL. XXVIII. NEGRO intellectual possibilities has another example to add to its long list in the person of Mutumbu, a 14-year-old Negro boy of the Alunda tribe in Darkest Africa, according to Miss Marie Jensen, missionary to the Congo under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, just returned to this country. This boy is a native of one of the most isolated parts of the dark continent. His home is at Musumba-wa-Mwata Yamvo (City-of-the-Prince-of-Death), capital town of the Alunda tribe of the Congo Belge. It is situated more than 300 miles northeast of the northernmost end of the Cape-to-Cairo railroad at Bukama on the upper Congo river. And there is no way of traveling through this territory save by foot or bicycle through the jungle paths. It requires a month's steady trekking, by caravan of native carriers who march with packs of baggage upon their backs, to reach Musumba. At the age of 5 years, Mutumbu was taken in by Dr. Arthur L. Piper, the new medical missionary at Musumba. Being an orphan, Mutumbu has since resided in the Piper household and the daily contact with the missionaries at the Methodist station—which has since been founded there and is in operation—has developed the mind of Mutumbu far beyond the average child of his years. The little Negro boy did his best to be of service about the new mission station where everyone worked at all kinds of manual labor to establish some form of civilization in that wild land. He aided in the kitchen and garden, ran errands for the workman building the houses and school building of sun-dried brick. When the mission station began active work for the good of the people about, Mutumbu had made himself a part of the institution. He attended school and studied assiduously, and worked to learn to aid Nurse Jensen in the dispensary where his people came to have their wounds dressed and their ills healed. Speaks Seven Languages. Speaks Seven Languages. Mutumbu has picked up a variety of learning beside what he gleaned from the white folk. He speaks five other native language (Mbundu, Chituba, Swahili, Bichokwe and Kanyok) in addition to his own Alunda and English. He writes in both the latter language well. Whenever strange chiefs come to the mission from the far depths of the jungle, speaking in a strange tongue which confuses the regular interpreters of the missionaries, someone always says: "Call Mutumbu, he knows." And Mutumbu generally does. He comes and acts as "pinch" interpreter. So well has Mutumbu learned the lore of the Gospel as it is taught in the mission station that he is often called upon to lead the services at the little mission church, and he does so with a simple dignity that is quite impressive. When Bishop Johnson of Africa visited Musumba he made Mutumbu his protege and has done much for him in the gifts of books and other means of self-improvement. Mutumbu is anxious to get a real education, believing that he can then bet- ter aid his people in this way. Working with Miss Jensen, supervising, Mutumbu translated fifty Bible stories and more than a hundred hymns into the native language. He was of material aid to the Rev. Mr. T. S. Brinton who translated the first three books of the New Testament, and alone he has successfully translated the entire life of Christ. He learned to use a typewriter. When he was given a Bible of his very own, brought to him by Miss Jensen from Bukama, Mutumbu was overjoyed. He often reads it to groups of his people his own age and adults, for he is honored and listened to by all. Wants a Pair of Shoes. Since arriving in this country Miss Jensen has received a letter from Mutumbu. He wants her to bring him just one thing from civilization, since she can't bring him a modern education in a box. He wants a pair of shoes so that he can walk through the jungle to other villages and teach his people. He tells her that his people have been sick in large numbers and Dr. Piper treats more than 1,300 cases a month. Miss Jensen is trying to take back some other things to Africa. She is studying simple methods of spinning and weaving cotton into cloth. The situation at Musumba is pliable in the extreme. There is very little money and few things for barter in that wild country. The Negro people only earn about a franc a day, or about twenty cents in normal times, and seven cents at the present rates of exchange, and cloth there, when it can be procured, is held by the Portuguese trader for something like $2 a yard. It is only the filmiest kind of material, lasting but a short time. Miss Jensen believes that if she can procure a few hand looms and spinning wheels. She can teach her young Negro women converts to make cotton into cloth for the benefit of the great mass of unclothed people. In this way she hopes to start the industry of cloth-making, thus providing a means of raising the economic standard of the Christian natives, providing them with a means of honest livelihood. Many of the Negro Christians at Musumba station are ashamed to come to church because they have no clothes save a few skins of goats or wild animals. Miss Jensen has been studying the methods employed at Hampton Institute in expectation of adapting them to the mission school and industrial training center destined to grow up at Musumba about the mission station. Discrimination Through publicity furnished by the N. A. A. C. P. and upon request of the Association of Colored Railway Trainmen, steps have been taken to stop the murder and maiming of colored trainmen and two white men have been arrested in Mississippi on a charge of intimidation. In the Harlem Hospital, New York City, effort has been made by the association in conjunction with other organizations and prominent persons to bring about better treatment of patients and representation of Negroes on the board. POLYGLOT ST. PETER'S Negro Woman at Election of Pope Pius XI. FROM Lenox avenue to St. Peter's Square is no mean distance for one to travel. At the one end, scores of representatives of a darker race may be seen moving to and fro about their business, in and out their homes and shops, contributing their mite to making New York the nation's busiest city. Rome, Italy, with St. Peter's Square, the other end, is without the thousands of members of the Negro race. At least, representatives of this growing group are not often found within the confines of the holy city. True, that now and then black faces are numbered among the myriad complexions that pass before the vatican. Even black men have enjoyed the splendors of ancient Rome, the quaint canals of Venice, and the picturesque Naples Bay, perchance, basked in Italian sunlight and endured the horrors of Vesuvius' eruptions, but as a usual thing, Italy, Rome and St. Peter's Square, which fronts St. Peter's Cathedral, are without representatives of the Negro race, and surely without him from the U. S. A. In fact, they are curiosities, and their very presence provokes incessant observation, stares and undue scrutiny, which interrogates—where are you from? Italians marvel but little, at black faces in costume characteristic of the tropics, the Orient and the like, but as Occidentals, fine appearing, and in fashion's latest mode they are the center of the stage. To believe that the American Negro was represented and is to be counted among the crowd of 30,000 that clamored before ancient St. Peter's Cathedral for reports on the election of the new pope of the Roman Catholic Church, is almost preposterous, and to dream that this people would receive the first hand blessings of Pius XI through a daughter of their race is almost without reality. But it is not so, neither posterous nor without reality, for Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson, American Negro and wealthy resident of Irvington-on-Hudson, New York, was sojourning in Rome during the election of Pope Plus XI and was noted among the crowd which received his blessings. The following clipping, taken from "La Tribuna," leading morning daily of Rome, Italy, numbers Mrs. Wilson among the cosmopolitan assemblage which waited with sacred patience for the returns of the papal election: "St. Peter's, Rome, today took on the aspect of a social international congress of nations. It is, of course, more tranquil and more serious than the international congress at Geneva. Notables of all nations and from all countries thronged the concourse of the Piazza San Pietro. And we could not fail to regard in our inventory of those present, as the most prominent among the vast throng, Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson of New York, Balfour and Leon Bourgeoise of France. "Tall and slender, with a majestic figure, the divine manner and graciousness of the former invested her with the bearing of a young goddess. Her somewhat sloping cheeks, a rather extended nose and dark complexion, would have caused the ancient Greek lyricists to name her 'an Ethiopian Artemis.' Rising interest is shown in this young lady by the vast throng of international visitors, and her grace and bearing are the cause of much comment. One cannot help but associate her with the races of the extreme Orient, or with the no less noble Aztecs of old Mexico. "The black race has truly sent us a charming representative in the person of Mrs. Lelia Wilson of New York. Her ancestors surely not so long ago, must have been rulers of the virgin equatorial forests between the Gulf of Guinea and Mozambique. Therefore, it goes without saying that Mrs. Wilson is assuredly a queen." Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson is the only daughter and heiress of the late Madam C. J. Walker, who died in 1919 after amassing a large fortune from the discovery and manufacture of a wonderful hair grower, which has proved a remarkable benefit to its users. Mrs. Wilson is president and owner of the company which bears her mother's name and is en route to Africa and the Far East on business for her company. Her stop in Italy is but one of many which she is making, which includes France, Egypt, Spain and Liberia, where she will be the special guest of the president of that country. Speech of Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri at Mass Meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Town Hall, Wednesday Night, March 1 Mr. Dyer, speaking of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, passed by the House of Representatives on Jan. 26 and now before the Senate, said in part: "If we fail now to enact the anti-lynching bill into law we must admit to the world that our government is incapable of protecting the lives of its citizens, as guaranteed to them under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. "The cry of those who oppose this legislation on the ground that it is a violation of state's rights is without proof. The opinion of the attorney general of the United States, and decisions of courts have been produced in abundance, upholding the constitutionality of this legislation. In addition to that we have the human side of the question, which is, that the states having failed in so many particulars to protect life of citizens of the states and of the United States, it is the duty of the Congress to act, regardless of any doubt of the final decision as to the constitutionality of the law, which should be left to the Supreme Court of the United States. I have no doubt that the Supreme Court will uphold it. "The other objection to the legislation, that it is to protect the crime of rape, I answer by saying, that only a small number of lynchings that have taken place in the last quarter of a century have been on that account. In fact, it is a simple question of whether the guilt or innocence of a man or woman be determined by a mob or by the courts. Shall law and order prevail in this great Republic of ours, or shall we admit that the courts are unable to function because of the lawless and mob spirit that prevails. This is the question now for the Senate of the United States to answer to the people of America. The statement that filibustering will prevent the Senate passing this bill is without foundation because the Senate can make its own rules and can consider and vote upon legislation if they see fit to do so. "In this great crisis no excuse should be accepted from any public servant of that kind. The very foundation of liberty is at stake and that failure of the enactment of this legislation into law at this time will bring disgrace, discontent and anarchy into our country to take the place of liberty, justice and the equal protection of the law." BERT WILLIAMS IS DEAD Blood Transfusion Failed to Save the Negro Comedian. After Long Partnership With George Walker, He Remained Outstanding Member of Race on Stage— Known as a Scholar, Too. NEW YORK, March 4.—Bert Williams, Negro comedian, died at his home here tonight from pneumonia. He collapsed on a Detroit stage last Monday and was brought to his home Thursday and suffered a relapse this morning after a blood transfusion last night. So death takes the most popular Negro actor from the stage. Booker T. Washington once said of Williams' stage career: "He has done more for our race than I have. He has smiled his way into people's hearts I have been obliged to fight my way." And Bert Williams, as an entertainer, never failed. In roles individual, not plagiarizing any feature of any star, his smile, voice, eccentric mumbling and peculiar foot shift and body sway, made him a stage character apart. Born in Bahama Islands. Bert Williams was 48 years old. He was born in Nassau, Bahama Islands, in 1874, and was of Danish, Spanish and Negro descent. He attended school in New York and later went to high schools in California. The stage career of Williams began in 1891. His debut was with Lew Johnson's minstrels. It was in 1893 that Williams began his real march to fame and popularity. That was the beginning of the partnership of Williams and Walker. George Walker, home was at Lawrence, Kan., died in 1910. Since then Williams had started in individual numbers and paired with stage stars of the white race. Was a Student of His Race. As a singer and comedian Williams was known to the millions of Americans. Only thousands, perhaps, knew him as a scholar. He was an inveterate reader, and when traveling with theatrical companies, preferred to be alone. Fellow actors, but of different race, often said that Williams never crossed the color line. He was a soldier, too, having served an enlistment in the United States army. As a scholar he devoted much of his time to the history of the Negro race and his library possessed many rare books on the subject. Bert Williams didn't merely sing songs. He acted them and drove them into popularity. Half mumbling between long pauses that seemed to ignore the orchestra, Williams' eyes often did as much as his voice. His feet, too, never acutely active, never were still. Remember "Nobody?" His song, "Nobody," probably was his greatest. Then there was "Under the Bamboo Tree," "Congo Love Song," "Somebody" and "When the Moonshines on the Moonshine," one of his latest and funniest. His poker game and fight in pantomime was his wordless triumph. Like De Wolf Hopper's "Casey at the Bat," the poker game was always called for, always given. It was a scream producer. William' last appearances in Kansas were with Ziegfeld's Follies. Leon NO 22 Errol was his comedy partner at that time. Since the Follies "quit" Kansas City, Williams came only on graphophone records. New York, March 7.—Five thousand persons were unable to gain admittance today to St. Phillips Episcopal Church in Harlem to attend funeral services for Bert Williams, Negro comedian, who died Saturday. More than 2,000 persons headed by a squad of police followed the hearse from his home to the church. Masonic services will be held tomorrow and burial will be in Woodlawn cemetery. He was a member of a lodge in Scotland. Colored People Will Meet With Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce. Atlantic City, N. J., March 11, 1922.—The Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce will meet with representative colored citizens of the resort on March 24, when it holds its regular monthly session at the Atlantic City Yacht Club for the purpose of discussing closer business co-operation between the white and colored people of the city. Much of the misunderstanding and friction between the races is due to the fact that the white man does not know enought about the colored man. They really need to become better acquainted. Although the two races rub elbows on the street every day, the white man knows very little of the finer qualities in Negro business life and character. The idea of an inter-racial meeting was suggested to Samuel P. Leeds, president of the Chamber of Commerce, by Attorney James A. Lignifoot, the leading colored lawyer of the resort and one of the most representative citizens of the community. In speaking of the joint meeting Attorney Lightfoot said: "The Negro must learn to advance his own cause. He can do this by faithfully and fearlessly presenting the facts in his civic and national life that relate to his advancement. These facts must be presented to the people who need to know them most." At this meeting a careful presentation of the Hotel Fitzgerald plan will be made. The Hotel Fitzgerald soon to be erected will cost approximately one million dollars and will be the greatest undertaking of its kind ever attempted by colored people. Since this hotel will be the equal in appointment and equipment of any of the great hotels along the beach front, it will advance the commercial interests of colored people in the resort a thousand per cent and will also be an inspiration to every colored person in the country.

AN INQUIRY FROM FLORIDA. Florida Asks Colorado Officials for Opinion on Hangings in Public. "We have public hangings in Florida. Ten thousand persons witnessed the execution of two white men in western Florida last week. A large number of reputable citizens are opposed to this practice, and a good many indorse it. What are your convictions in the matter?" THE ABOVE trite inquiry might, at first glance, appear indicative of a conscientious desire on the part of a benighted commonwealth to rid itself of the barbarities of guillotine days were it not at the very outset impregnated with the mad vaporings of prejudice. It is well to note that the horrors of public hangings do not weigh so heavily upon the conscience as does the fact that it was "two white men" that were hanged. We are going to take it for granted that the executions were legal and carried out in accordance with the provisions of the law. We must also grant that the "two white men" needed hanging else it would not have happened in public or other wise. It is also worthy of note that ten thousand persons witnessed the execution, a fact that would justify the conclusion that Florida's sordid appetite has been whetted to the point where its reputable (?) citizens will turn out in large numbers at even the novelty of a legal hanging. Of course the Florida citizen who has become so wrought up over this awful condition as to cause him to send broadcast a letter calling for the opinion of the attorney general of Colorado and other states, studiously avoids any reference to the public lynchings that occur with disgusting frequency in that state, white ten's of thousands of hurrahing "best citizens" (2) look on. A public legal hanging in Florida presupposes a white man to be at the end of the rope, and this is horrible. A public lynching quite naturally finds a Negro as the writhing victim of cruel torture, and this is chivalry. We are in hopes that the opinion of our own attorney general will be framed on lines broad enough to reach both cases. Florida sorely needs enlightenment beyond the scope of that conveyed in the clipping above. AN OBJECT LESSON. AN UNIQUE but highly impressive service was held in the city Auditorium last Sunday night when the Jewish citizens of Denver met and competed with each other for the honor of contributing to a fund to save the lives of starving Jews of eastern Europe. There were fully 1,000 Jewish people present to listen to the pathetic reports of tragic suffering and atrocities endured by their fellow race members in a foreign land. Their hearts were touched to the point of opening their purse strings to the amount of thousands of dollars to aid in the immediate relief of millions of Jews, many of whom are doomed to die unless help is given them. The event was not without its object lesson. Soon there will be a campaign opened in Denver to answer the appeal of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for more funds that it may continue unhampered, its great fight to secure the enactment into law, the Dyer anti-lynching bill. Already the bill has passed the House of Representatives and is now before the U. S. Senate. Only by staying closely on the job and fighting every inch of the ground will this measure ever become a law. Somebody must remain in Washington in personal command, and somebody else must supply the slaves of war. There was never a battle won or lost that did not cost money. Granting that James Weldon Johnson is our logical field marshal, the man of all men to direct the fight we have on hand, let it be known that the Dyer bill means no more to him than it does to the humblest Negro citizen in Denver or in any other part of American. Hon. Morefield Story, eminent citizen, former president of the American B Association, and admittedly the greatest constitutional authority in the U. S., could spend his now venerable years in absolute luxury and ease whether there was ever such a thing as an anti-lynching bill or not. But he is large of heart, humane and full of sympathy for all mankind, hence his time and great talents are given freely to the cause of the struggling Negro race. Miss Mary White Ovington, rich and refined, with a daily income far beyond that of most individuals termed wealthy, has suffered many hardships and inconveniences in traveling over the country in our behalf. What then of our part, what will Denver's answer be to the appeal sent out by the National Association? In the great Jewish meeting of Sunday night a graphic picture was painted of the dire poverty and extreme suffering of the Jews of Poland. The story is said to have brought tears to the eyes of many. How would a similar audience be affected by a true recital of the horrors of burning human beings at the stake, or the dis-emboweling of women and many other cruel tortures made the holiday pastime of American lynchers? The lesson brought home to us is that the Jew looks after his own, not alone with sentiment, but with his dollars. The American Negro must do the same. The greatest fighting agency for manhood rights that the Negro has known in all history is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It must have your support and it should not be necessary to make a personal appeal to get it. Every Negro should be a member and his racial loyalty and interest should extend beyond a paltry one dollar per year. The cries of agony and death in Poland have been answered by American Jewry. The cries of agony and death and suffering of helpless victims in the Southland must be answered by American Negroes. BERT WILLIAMS IS DEAD WITH the above simple announcement the Associated Press dispatches of last Sunday morning shot the pangs of sorrow like a dart into the hearts of millions of admirers of the great Negro comedian who was easily the peer of them all in his day and generation. The world has known but one Bert Williams. The mantle of greatness was his, won through merit, natural ability and a true artistic temperment. With the partner of his early efforts, the matchless Geo. Walker, the wonderful combination of Williams and Walker became world conquerors. Both have gone to their final accounting, the foot-lights of earthly grandeur have been extinguished and the curtain of eternity has dropped upon their final acts. Bert Williams stood in a class by himself; there were many to imitate him, but none to equal. His droll comedy made of him an idol of such popularity that DeWolfe Hopper, Leon Erol and Raymond Hitchcock, his nearest rivals of suffered in comparison. He disdained and cast aside the rude, some times vulgar slap-stick methods of the old-time Negro minstrel and brought forward a refined comedy, an interpretation of Negro humor that will live for ages through phonographic preservation. The late Booker T. Washington once said of Williams' stage career: "He has done more for our race than I have. He has smiled his way into people's hearts; I have been obliged to fight my way." And Bert Williams, as an entertainer, never failed. In roles individual, not pligrizing any feature of any star, his smile, voice, eccentric mumbling and peculiar foot shift and body sway, made him a stage character apart. Born in Bahama Islands.

Thus America's greatest comedian, white or black, has gone to his long reward. There will be sorrowing millions to mourn his loss and his memory will be hallowed by all people as the one outstanding artist whose genius lay in his originality. Forest Fires and Lands Not Growing Trees Are Threats to Prosperity By C. L. PACK, President American Forestry Ass'n. Threatening the future prosperity of the country are two big items, our yearly loses from forest fires and our hundreds of millions of acres of forest lands which are not growing forests. Just what this means to big industries is shown in the three-million-dollar-a-year freight bill New England pays on imported lumber because of the idle acres close to her factory doors. The lumber cut in the state of New York has dropped almost 60 per cent since 1910. Her consumers of lumber are paying $66,000,000 a year for imported lumber. The imported lumber comes 3,000 miles by Threatening the future prosperity of the country are two big items, our yearly loses from forest fires and our hundreds of millions of acres of forest lands which are not growing forests. Just what this means to big industries is shown in the three-million-dollar-a-year freight bill New England pays on imported lumber because of the idle acres close to her factory doors. The lumber cut in the state of New York has dropped almost 60 per cent since 1910. Her consumers of lumber are paying $66,000,000 a year for imported lumber. The imported lumber comes 3,000 miles by rail. As a result nearly 1,500 wood-using industries in the state of New York have closed up shop. Two million feet of timber, or material enough to build a five-room house every hundred feet on both sides of a road extending from New York to Chicago is destroyed by forest fires every year. With four people to a house, these one hundred thousand or more buildings would provide a home for nearly one-fourth of our yearly increase in population—a number sufficient to populate a new city each year the size of Cincinnati, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Kansas City or Seattle. During the past five years more than 160,000 forest fires have occurred in the United States, 80 per cent of which were due to human agencies and therefore preventable. These conflagrations burned over 56,488,000 acres—an area greater than that of either Ohio or Pennsylvania—and destroyed $85,700,000 worth of timber. The Former Kaiser's Mandate: Kinder, Kuche and Kirche for the Women The well-known mandate of the former kaiser that women's interests should be confined to the three Ks—kinder, kuche and kirche (children, cooking and church)—has been no idle bit of alliteration but has been sustained by government policy. There is a deep but almost passive resentment among thinking women toward this state of things. They feel that they have not had fair treatment from the men, who have been their masters for so long. The average German woman of every class works hard, is thrifty and devoted to her family, but her mind has not been broadened by an active share in public affairs. She has meekly accepted the role of subordination prescribed for her, and this suppression has resulted in a violent-reaction. The very few women who have emerged from this passive subjection have become extremely radical. It is generally conceded that this fundamental lack of organization throws each woman on her own resources, and she must therefore meet her problems essentially as an individual. No German woman seems able to talk of general conditions without bitter reference to their past sufferings. Practically without exception they insist that the war was forced upon Germany and that their enormous sacrifices were made in defense of the fatherland. No woman is in the least penitent. The French Royalist Who was Taken to Jail for Shouting "Vive le Roi" By AUBREY BOYD, in The Argonaut. ```markdown ``` The French royalist, who was arrested a few days ago in Paris for shouting "Vive le Roi" at M. Briand on the latter's return from Washington, seems to be regarded by many Americans as an unaccountable lunatic. The idea of setting up a king at this date over the mother of republics evidently strikes the average democratic American as a fantasy too remote for serious thought. Why, is not very clear. One reason may be that our popular fiction has inclined us to look on exiled kings and pretenders as faded relics laid up in lavender, or as quaint harlequin shadows of the dead and dying vanities of yesteryear. But such a conception is of course very far from the truth. Readers of history need no reminder that the king "takes an unconscionable time in dying"—certainly longer than the few years that separate France from monarchy. And they will see nothing extravagant in the statement that monarchy is a very lively factor in the politics of the modern French republic. On the face of things, it is evident that the French authorities do not consider a royalist banner cry amusing, or they would not have arrested the gentleman who greeted M. Briand in this odd way. In a safely-established republic, people are not arrested for shouting "Long Live the King." Economy of Operation and of Upkeep Are Next Problems of Automobile Maker The original problem of the motor car designer was to build a satisfactory engine and chassis, one that would do everything required of it and stay put. Up until a few years ago engineers were still occupied, in the main, with this phase of motor car progress. This problem having been met, the attention of engineers next turned to motor car bodies. Within the last three years this problem has been disposed of also. Automobile bodies of today are pretty well standardized. Today the third stage is being entered. The chief issue during the next few years will be the problem of maintaining present standards of performance and comfort with greater economy of operation and upkeep. The car of the future is one that will deliver anything that it does now, for half the cost of operation and repairs, and in addition run twice as long. The time is coming in the near future, I believe, when wasteful gasoline motors will be prohibited, either through special legislation or through taxation that will make such wasteful autos prohibitively expensive.

The expected has happened in Denver and the Ku Klux Klan long in the embryo has at last come out in the open and filed its articles of incorporation with Secretary of State Carl Milliken. With the District Attorn and the Attorney General of the state both open in their declaration that acts of violence will be permitted. Senator Frank L. Dodge, one of Denver's most prominent business men and a Republican of high standing, was appointed postmaster of Denver this week. THE COLORADO STATESMAN extends to him hearty congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gaines of 2518 Humboldt street are entertaining Mrs. Johnson, a sister of Mr. Gaines. Mrs. Johnson has been visiting her old Topeka home and stopped over in Denver on her return trip to California. Attorney S. E. Cary leaves for Oklahoma within a few days, where he is to handle a law suit for a very large estate. Last week he was called to Fort Morgan, Colo., on a very important case. Rev. C. E. Chapman of Nashville, Tenn., a minister of the C. M. E. Church, reached the city Saturday morning. He comes to assume the pastorate of the C. M. E. Church recently organized in Denver by Rev. R. P. Tyler, presiding elder of the Kansas district. Mrs. S. A. Reagans is another one of Denver's progressive women is now comfortably located in her new home at 1533 E. 22nd Avenue. Shortly after moving in the cottage some months ago Mrs. Reagans suffered a disastrous fire which did considerable damage to the interior. But all is well now and a more convenient home would be hard to find. The Ladies' Mission Auxiliary of the Episcopal churches of Denver and surrounding cities held their March convention at the Church of the Redeemer last Tuesday. There were 150 present and the ladies of the Redeemer entertained them royally. The March meeting of the Denver Branch N. A. A. C. P. at the Negro Woman's Club Home, was well attended. The speaker of the evening was the Hon. A. H. W. Ross of the Metropolitan Realty Co. As a shoemaker sticks to his last, so did Mr. Ross hold to his well known hobby "Investments." It was an impressive and scholarly address and we hope Mr. Ross will be called upon to deliver it before one of Denver's largest audiences at some time. The Executive Committee and line officers of the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. held an interesting business session and pleasant social hour at the residence of the president last Saturday night. Plans were presented and adopted for the annual membership campaign which is to open Sunday, April 23. There was a good attendance out and interest in the future work of the association run high. MEMORIAL FOR COL. CHARLES YOUNG. Many Denver organizations are planning to take part in the memorial services to be held at Shorter church, Sunday in honor of the late Col. Chas. Young. The affair will be directly in charge of the Corporal White Camp of Spanish War Veterans. Joining them will be the World War Veterans and the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. A splendid program will be rendered and a large crowd should turn out in honor of the distinguished Negro soldier. OUR SICK Never before in its history has Denver endured a greater siege of sickness than at present. Hardly a household but what one or two members of the family are down, and in some instances the whole family may be found in bed. "Flu" for the most part is the prevailing malady but so far it has been held in check with but few fatalities. Among those to be noted this week are Mr. and Mrs. Chester Stell, Mrs. Vlvian Greenwood and Geo. W. Gross. Mrs. Jessie Carter who has been seriously ill for some time shows but little improvement. THE KLAN INCORPORATES. The expected has happened in Denver and the Ku Klux Klan long in the embryo has at last come out in the open and flied its articles of incorporation with Secretary of State Carl S. Milliken. With the District Attorney and the Attorney General of the state both open in their declaration that no acts of violence will be permitted in Denver, the public may feel a reasonable degree of security. However it is unfortunate that the state must give sanction to its existence at this time. GRAND JURY WILL PROBE KU KLUX KLAN. The representatives of the Denver and Colorado Springs branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People declared Thursday they oppose vigorously the incorporation of the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado. Formal complaints were served on both Acting Governor Cooley and Secretary of State Milliken by the two associations Thursday, followed by a lengthy conference in the afternoon with Attorney General Keyes in his offices. "You are well aware of the nefarious work and promulgated doctrines of the organization, which are most positively un-American and un-democratic in principle and doctrines. "Detailed information will be supplied you in full." The wire sent to the state officials by the Colorado Springs branch of the colored association was signed by the following: Rev. A. W. Ward, Rev. G. S. Sawyer, F. A. Work, Rev. W. Gillian and Dr. I. E. Moore, president. Attorney General Keyes said he expected to have an opinion on the matter this week. COURT NEWS. COL. YOUNG WILL PROBATED. The will of Col. Charles Young, U. S. Army, who died while on service in Liberia, leaves all of his estate to his wife, Ada M. Young, to be held in trust by her for the support and benefit of the testator's family, including his wife, mother and two children. The will was admitted to probate yesterday by Judge J. Carl Marshall. The testators provide that all of his real property, including an 80-acre farm with two houses and two barns at Wilberforce; twelve lots at East Berkeley, Denver, Colo., and the testator's paid-up policy in the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company of Springfield, Mass., for $5,000, go to the estate, to be administered by his wife for the family, consisting of the testator's wife, mother and two children. The testator wants his estate kept together to be enjoyed harmoniously by his wife, mother and children. The testator's $10,000 War Risk Insurance is to go to his wife to be invested in United States bonds, the interest to go to the up-keep of the family. If the testator's wife dies, his mother is to administer the estate, and if she dies, the president of the Xenia National Bank is assigned to execute the terms of the will. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Among the visitors to the building this past week was Professor T. S. Inborden, who for nearly thirty years has been the principal of the Joseph K. Brick school at Enfield, N. C. This is an endowed school for colored young people, run under the auspices of the American Missionary Association (Congregational), and is doing a wonderful work for the people of that state. Professor Inborden is a wide-awake man, and has been on a country-wide tour which took him to California and the Northwest, and is now on his return home. We were glad to see him and have him with us. The Olinger Cadets made a fine and splendid showing a week ago. They came all dressed in their uniforms with their white belts and their caps with the initials "O. L." engraved on the tops. And then they had their new riffles. Of course they were proud! The Rev. Dr. Clarence E. Wagner, pastor of the South Broadway Christian Church, was the speaker at the meeting last Sunday afternoon. The address was highly helpful, for Dr. Wagner is a man who fully knows his subject, and understands how to tell about it. The people were greatly pleased with him, and made him promise to "come again." The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will undoubtedly be an interesting one. The Rev. C. L. Chapman of Nashville, Tenn., will be the speaker. His subject will be "The Present Condition and Future Outlook of the Colored People of Tennessee." He will speak from an educational, economic and political standpoint. Mr. J. C. Butier of New York, formerly of the Burden Singers, has returned to the city, and will render special vocal solos. The meeting will begin promptly at 4 o'clock. All will be welcome. SHORTER CHAPEL The minister will preach at both services Sunday. Sunday morning the subject will be, "The Universal Cry." The evening subject will be, "More Than Conquerors." Special music by the choir at both services. At 3 p. m. a memorial service will be held for the late Col. Charles Young under the auspices of the Spanish War Veterans and the N. A. A. C. P. A cordial welcome is extended to the public. DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO. FUNERAL NOTICES.
