Twenty-Second Year SOCIAL SEASON IN WASHINGTON By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Among the official set in Washington there is not as much activity as there was prior to the elections. At that time the Republican congressional committee availed itself of the services of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, and arranged for him a whirlwind campaign trip which covered several states and which lasted up to the very eve of the election. Mr. Johnson's trip was productive of good results, for it is a matter of fact that the Republican congressional candidates in the New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia districts in which he spoke were successful at the polls. Part of Mr. Johnson's trip was made in a big white touring car, thereby making the trip modern and picturesque as well as effective. The other members of the so called "black cabinet" were not, to any extent, engaged in the public speaking part of the campaign. Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon spoke only in New York state, while Auditor For the Navy Ralph W. Tyler was engaged in an advisory capacity in directing the colored end of the campaign in Ohio. Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court now has a young colored man as his clerk. The fortunate young man is George H. De Reef, a young lawyer, who has all along been "acting" clerk in Judge Terrell's court. Mr. De Reef is a graduate of both the college and law departments of Howard university. The deputy United States marshal in Judge Terrell's court is also a member of our race. He is W. H. Conn, who fills that position with much credit. Mu-Go-Lit and Monocan Clubs. The first meeting of the Mu-So-Lit club for the 1910-11 season was recently held at Martin's. Professor Neval H. Thomas, who traveled in Europe during the summer, addressed the club, taking Monte Carlo and Paris as his subject for discussion. Professor Thomas, as his lecture proved, was evidently a close observer of things while on his European tour. This made his talk not only novel. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 17, 1910 but also instructive and interesting. Just one night prior to his Mu-So-Lit club talk Professor Thomas talked to the Young Men's Christian association about the Passion play, which he witnessed at Oberammergau, Germany. The meeting of the Mu-So-Lit club and the meeting of the Monocan club the night after are signals of the approach of Washington's social season. These two clubs are composed of people high in the life of the national capital. In fact, the Mu-So-Lit club is the premier Negro club in the United States. The president of the club is Dr. A. M. Curtis, who is also president of the National Medical association. Mr. Harry Cardoza is president of the Monocan club, being elected at the last meeting. These two clubs generally give brilliant functions during the social season. The Monocan "assembles" are the most fashionable affairs of the season. The Mu-So-Lits, as a rule, give only one social function a year. Doings In Society Circles. Mrs. Ralph W. Tyler, the wife of the auditor for the navy, entertained a party of ladies at her home in T street northwest at an informal luncheon recently in honor of Mrs. Hattie King of Columbus, O. The color scheme was in pink, the tables being decorated with large pink chrysanthemums. Those present besides Mrs. King, the guest of honor, were Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the wife of Judge Robert H. Terrell; Mrs. Josephine Bruce, widow of Senator B. K Bruce; Mrs. John R. Francis, the wife of Dr. John R. Francis; Mrs. Anna Murray, the wife of Hon. Daniel Murray of the Congressional library, Mrs. W. O. West, the wife of Dr. W. O. West; Mrs. Amphias E. Glenn, the wife of Professor Glenn, the director of languages in the high schools; Mrs. J. E. Williams, the wife of Principal Williams of the M street high school, and Misses Mary Tyson, Jessie Parks and Edith Fleetwood. A reception was held after the luncheon. Assisting Mrs. Tyler in the receiving line were Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and Mrs. Amphias Glenn. The buffet luncheon was served by Demonet, one of Washington's best caterers. Effect of Rooseveltian Bossism. It can be plainly seen from the great Democratic tidal wave which swept over New York city and state on election day that Rooseveltian bossism put the Republican party out of business in fine shape.

SPRINGS ESTATE WILL GIVE HOME FOR SUPERANNUATED PREACHERS OF RACE. A verbal promise, made by General William J. Palmer some time before his death, is to be sacredly kept by his executors, and the negro population of the country will be the recipients of a beneficence that he planned but did not live to carry out. General Palmer decided, several years ago, to give a site for an institution for the care of superannuated negro clergymen. There was a contingency that the negroes should go ahead with their plans to build a home, and now, after a lapse of years, the plan is to be carried out. The negroes are in position to provide for the helpless ministers of their race, and negotiations are being conducted with the Palmer estate to give them the old Deaconess hospital. The new Deaconess hospital needs more ground which was originally intended as the site for the negro home, and the trustees of the Deaconness hospital have practically decided to deed over the old property to the negroes in exchange for ground which General Palmer had promised to them. George H. Krouse, the resident executor of the Palmer estate, is favorable to the idea, and only a few details remain before the exchange can be consummated.—The News. ship in good paying trades and callings. Two year courses have been provided in seven trades for boys and three trades for girls. For boys the courses will include machinist work, blacksmithing, wagon and automobile construction, electrical work, plumbing, heating and tinning, house, sign, wagon and fresco painting, paperhanging, printing, brick and stone masonry, plastering and concrete construction. For girls there will be courses in practical cookery and household management, sewing, dressmaking, tailoring and millinery. The only academic work would be in mechanical drawing, English mathematics and general elementary science. The scheme has been submitted to well known educators in other cities and members of the board of education. Paul H. Hanus of the division of education of Harvard university has given it his hearty good wishes. J. A. Chamberlain, superintendent of manual training in the District of Columbia, has studied the plan and has given it his indorsement. Members of the board of education who are known to be in hearty sympathy with it are Dr. W. V. Tunnell, Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, W. V. Cox and Mrs. R. H. Terrell. Professor E. C. Williams, principal of M Street high school, was the principal speaker at Bethel literary at a recent meeting. Professor Williams read an interesting paper on Japan. He gave a graphic account of this oriental nation, showing that he had given much time and study to the Japanese. ProFESSOR E. C. WILLIAMS. PROFESSOR E. C. WILLIAMS. time and study to PROFESSOR E. C. the Japanese. Professor Williams before coming to Washington was the librarian at Western Reserve university, and his acquaintance with books is extensive. Dental Society Elects Officers. The Robert T. Freeman Dental Society of the District of Columbia held its annual meeting and election of officers the last of November at Martin's cafe. The reports of the secretary and treasurer showed the society to be on a good financial basis. The following were elected to serve during the ensuing year: Dr. C. A. Gray, president; Dr. C. C. Fry, vice president; Dr. George H. Butcher, recording secretary (re-elected); Dr. S. A. Fraser, corresponding secretary (re-elected); Dr. A. J. Gwathney, treasurer; Dr. W. E. Hamilton, librarian (re-elected). After the meeting the members join- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. ed in the annual banquet. An Appetizing Menu Was Served. Oyster Cocktails.

Ferguson of Richmond, Va., was the honored guest and spoke of a recent operation he had performed for empyema of the antrum. Dr. Ferguson was elected honorary vice president. The society decided to hold its January meeting in Richmond, Va., as guests of Dr. Ferguson. It was this society that started the examination of school children's teeth, each member giving his service gratis. SERIES OF MEETINGS ON PREVENTION OF DISEASE. Tuberculosis Society of St. Louis Cooperates In Health Conference. The first meeting of the Negro conference on tuberculosis was held under the auspices of the Anti-tuberculosis society in the Sumner high school, St. Louis, from Monday afternoon, Dec. 12, to Friday, Dec. 16, inclusive. The president of the local conference is Professor F. L. Williams, who presided at the formal opening of the conference, at which exhibits were shown. Monday night's meeting was conducted by public school teachers, who had associated with them the teachers of the various Sunday schools. Professor A. J. Gossin presided. Tuesday evening, Dec. 13, was woman's night, and the presiding officer was Miss Arsania Williams. On Wednesday evening the Rev. Gustavus Tuckerman delivered an instructive lecture to the students of the Sumner high school. The meeting was presided over by Mr. George C. Poag. On Thursday evening there will be an oratorical contest, open to pupils of the Sumner high school, for a prize of $10, offered by Edward F. Goltra, chairman of the municipal commission on tuberculosis, for the best ten minute oration on "The Prevention of Tuberculosis Among Colored People." The conference will close with a talk on "Tuberculosis and the Colored Race" by Professor Edward S. Williams, a stereopticon exhibition and the appointment of permanent committees. There was a stereopticon lecture every evening during the conference, and the tuberculosis exhibit was open daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. President W. P. Thirkield's Report. In a report submitted to the secretary of the interior, which was recently made public, President Wilbur Patterson Thirkield of Howard university, Washington, said that the institution has to do with the uplifting of 10,000,000 of colored people in the United States. The honorable record for usefulness and large service among their people has been made by the 2,500 or more graduates which the institution has turned out. The enrollment for the last year was 1,252,representing thirty-five states and twelve foreign countries.More than four-fifths of the young men are self supporting in whole or in part, he 2634-36 Welton St. Denver, Colo. --- --- POMADE FOR THE HAIR We wish to advise our friends and customers that we have a full line of Toilet Preparations, Perfumes, Manicure Supplies, Brushes of every description, Toilet Soapz, Cutlery, etc. The Denver Barbers Supply Co. 1527 Glenarm Street Formerly at 1008 15th St. Phone Main 7221 Denver, Colo.

Thomas and Marguerite Ward have doubled up and are making good. Miss Ward will be remembered as a member of Williams & Walker Co., Cole & Johnson Co. and Smart Set Co. She is of poetical temperament and shows it in her work. They are playing on the big colored circuit of the east, and their big singing and dancing act is a scream. THE R. M. A. C. SMOKER. There will be a big boxing tournament at the R. M. A. club during the holidays for the club prize. All entries must be made before Dec. 24th. Sign your name on the list. This will be one of the best ever pulled off. MISS HATTIE McDANIELS AT THE FIVE-CENT HOUSES. Miss Hattie McDaniels, the clever little singing and dancing comedienne of this city, is all the attraction at several of the moving picture theatres of Denver. She has signed a long contract, but will appear at East Turner hall, Jan. 2d, with the Smart Set Vaudeville Co. DEWEY HADEN AND SON EDWARDS. These two clever boys have signed to appear at East Turner in Smart Set. Little Dewey is the undisputed champion boy buck dancer west of Chicago, and he and Edwards have something up their sleeves that will be the hit of the company. KID COTTON AND WALTER MONOHAN TO BOX DEC. 20TH. Kid Cotton, the former sparring partner of Jack Johnson, and Walter Monahan, Johnson's sparring partner at present, will meet in a ten-round contest Dec. 20th, at Pittsburg. Kid Cotton is very anxious for the day to come, as he didn't make a great showing in a former bout with Monohan. But he says he will eat him up alive Dec. 20th. KID GANS TO FIGHT IN GREEN RIVER. Young Gans, the clever boxer of t...is city, has been matched to box some unknown in Green River during the holidays. Gans is confident of doing the "bring home the bacon" stunt. Oh, Gans! $25,000 OFFERED JACK JOHNSON TO MEET THE WINNER OF THE LANGFORD AND JEAN-NETTE BOUT. Champion Jack Johnson now appears to be a very big man in the old country not to be over there. Hugh McIntosh has made the big offer of $25,000 if Jack will meet the winner of the much talked of bout between Langford and Jeannette. Johnson says the money sounds good, and if they push him it will look better, and is going to consider this offer as no joke, and will probably sail for Paris the first of the year to look the matter over. Mrs. Walker, who is starring with THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. the Smart Set Co., is supposed to be one of the cleverest dancers in the United States. She is creating a great hit doing her Spanish dancing, which is called Porto Rico. A NEGRO THEATRICAL BOOKING AGENCY FOR NEW YORK CITY. The field of negro theatres throughout the country has grown so large that the big concerns have organized three or four circuits, and now New York is to be one of the main cities in the east for producing the negro talent. BIG NEGRO ACT MAKING A WORLD HIT. Bradford's Africanders, now playing the united circuit, are headlining all bills. They will play a return engagement on the Keither & Proctor time, which means the rest of the season. The New York Morning Telegraph says that the Africanders are the best vaudeville stars among the negroes in theg reat profession. HARRY CRATON, THE HOOP ROLLER. Harry Craton, writing from Pittsburg, and one of the cleverest hoop rollers in the world, says that he has been back from Europe for over a month. His company goes back in May, and Mr. Craton and wife (formerly a Denver girl, Miss Clark) will make their home in London. INDIANAPOLIS HAS EIGHT NEGRO MOVING PICTURE HOUSES. The five-cent theatre is getting to be one of the greatest little enterprises in the country, and the negroes are beginning to take to that business. Indianapolis can boast of having eight, run and controlled by negroes, all presenting two and three neat little vaudeville acts, and the price is only one big 5 cents. LANGFORD AND JEANNETTE TO MEET IN PARIS. Sam Langford is liable to have his hands full when he and Mr. Joe Jeannette meet again. Of course Langford beat Joe pretty badly in their last contest in Boston, but Joe says things have changed, and he will give Langford the fight of his life when they meet in Paris. And if I am not mistaken, I think that Mr. Langford is about to receive the hardest battle of his life. As everybody knows, Joe is no dub, and in condition he will make a showing that will make everybody sit back and take notice, and if there is any money in sight bet on Jeannette. THE R. M. A. A. BALL A GRAND SUCCESS AT EAST TURNER. Were you there? If not you missed the time of your life. I have had the pleasure of attending many dances, but none like that of the R. M. A. A. The music was fine and the moonlight effects were the talk of the evening, with beautiful paper ribbon strung all over head, and then, to top everything, confetti was strewn all over the floor and it had the effect of snow. Everything was lovely and the order fine. Mr. Victor Walker wishes to thank the many participants for their presence and says that he will make the annual excursion the same. This ball marks the anniversary of the association. It was organized on Dec. 2, 1909, by directors J. H. West- SMART SET VAUDEVILLE CO.

In April of this year, after an outlay of $9,500 spent for remodeling the property at 2014 Champa street and furnishing it, it moved and since then the membership has increased to 900. This large growth is partly due to the unequaled accommodations and the excellent service. The club members have access to reading rooms, card rooms, baths, gymnasium, lodging rooms, barber shop, lunch room, with telephone and steam heat. The help who serve in various capacities draw wages of $4,000 per year. The directors of the year past succeeded all expectations. Those for the current year are Henry Banks, Dr. Westbrook, Dr. Harper, Paul-Caldwell and Victor Walker. State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, the Rev. E. E.

Attention has been called recently to the rapid advancement and wonderful progress being made by our local orchestra. Since its reorganization the past autumn, Morgan T. Jackson has taken the management and leadership, and the competence of his work is plainly visible. No longer is Jackson's orchestra (which was formerly the Great Western) a dance orchestra, but very soon will make its initial appearance in concert, rendering only the classics. The organization has been enlarged and improved by the acquisition of several of the best negro musicians in the country. The present number will be added to until the membership will reach twenty. Messrs. Garcia, Gonzalez and Webster are the only old members carried over from the Great Western, and they are all well known to Denver music lovers. Their musicianship is conceded by all and they are a strong nucleus about which to build a new orchestra. Among the latest acquisitions are Mr. Grandpre, late of N. Clark Smith's famous negro symphony orchestra, and Dr. J. O. Gauss, who has recently opened a studio for the teaching of reed, brass and string instruments. Mr. Jackson's efficiency needs no comment, as he is so well known and recognized musically. His aspirations and high ideals in music are commendatory and his ambitions will doubtless be realized in the very near future. A concert orchestra among our people would be a just cause for all our chests to swell with pride, as it portrays the general uplift and finer appreciation of those whose patronage supports it. Let us not fail to encourage our aspiring and talented young musicians when they announce their first public appearance. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Christian Forbearance Urged - New Central Conference Created. In his address before the recent session of the Mississippi conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church in West Point, Miss., Bishop Elias Cottrell severely scored those persons who verbally or by written communication seek to stir up bad feeling in the ranks of the church for self glorification. The bishop's remarks were the result of certain new legislation enacted by the general conference in Atlanta, Ga., previous to the convening of the Mississippi conference. His pleas were for harmony and Christian forbearance on the part of all concerned. A new conference, making three in the state, has been created which will be known as the central Mississippi conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church. The act legalizing the new body was passed by the last general conference held in Atlanta and will greatly facilitate the handling of the many interests of the denomination in the south, which has grown to large proportions. An effort is now being made to raise the sum of $40,000 necessary to complete payment on the new administration building which has been erected on the grounds of the Mississippi Industrial college in Holly Springs, Miss. J. N. Billups is the newly elected secretary, A. Gillespie assistant secretary and J. T. Clay statistician. Notice the thick rubber tread "A" and puncture strips "B" and "D," also rim strip "H" to prevent rim cutting. This tire will outlast any other make—SOFT, ELASTIC and EASY RIDING.

JONES RECEIVES CLAIM FROM THE AFRO-AMERICAN FRATERNAL LIFE AND BENEFIT ASSOCIATION. The agent delivered my policy on Monday, December 5th, at 7.30 p. m. I sprained my ankle on Tuesday, December 6th. I am still disabled and will probably continue so for a week or ten days longer; nevertheless, they have just given me a check for ten dollars this 14th day of December. I like and do heartily recommend the manner in which this association pays its claims, that is, while you are sick or hurt, not waiting until you are well. I therefore thank the officers and management of the Afro-American Fraternal Life and Benefit Association for their promptness. Such square dealings with the general public should certainly meet the approval of all and create for the association a wonuerful growth and future prosperity. I insist that our people insure in this association for protection against sickness and accident. Take it from me that this association is gilt-edge, prompt payment and no red tape.

EXPERTS IN COTTON GROWING Major R. R. Wright and His Associates Have Introduced New Systems Which Will Greatly Enhance the Industrial Life of the People-Success of His Undertakings. By WHITTIER H. WRIGHT. The fourth annual Georgia colored state fair, which was held recently in Macon, was a complete success. Its effect will be felt all over the state in the respect of encouraging farmers, mechanics and householders to greater perfection and excellence in agricultural, domestic and mechanic arts. The object of the fair was not to make money, but solely for inspiration and education. The Georgia colored state fair grew out of a conference of colored farmers that Major R. R. Wright called to meet at the Georgia Industrial college at Savannah in February of 1900. This conference is held annually by the farmers at the college. In the meantime Professor Wright became so interested in the movement of the farmers that a thought grew upon him that it would be a good idea to interest the farmers as well as the many artisans of the race, such as carpenters, blacksmiths, bricklayers, seamstresses, milliners, etc. In a great fair they could put their many products on exhibition and thus stimulate the masses of the race into better farming, better industrial work along all lines. When the farmers met in 1905 and the matter was again put before them they agreed that it was a bright idea, but the task was a herculean one, and many thought it too large an undertaking, but Professor Wright assured them if they would follow him they would pull through all right, and they set to work at once to accomplish the task. How well they have succeeded can be seen by the results of the fourth great state fair under the same leader, R. R. Wright. He has his forces united better than ever before. Whatever may be said of President Wright and his associates, this can be said without successful contradiction that they have torn down old order and system of things and set up a standard that will mark a new epoch in the economical and industrial life of the people. The fair affords the colored students of art, science, needlework, domestic science, farm, shop or whatever pursuits they undertake in the state the opportunity to exhibit to the world the product of their genius and the work of their handicraft. The exhibit of Charles Land was a most creditable one and deserves much praise. His pumpkins, peas, corn, sugar cane, sorghum, wheat, oats, butter, milk, rye, walnuts, pecans, meat, cotton, vegetables and fruit were par excellent. The trays in which he kneaded the THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. dough and the troughs from which he fed and watered his cattle were the work of his own hands and dug from timber felled on his own forests. Moses Yopp, a farmer of Dublin, Ga., exhibited ten stalks of cotton. These ten stalks of cotton contained 1,334 open bolls. On one stalk there were 185 bolls. The stalks were pulled from one acre from which Mr. Yopp gathered and ginned two bales of cotton. The cotton was grown, from seed improved by Mr. Yopp, which he calls Yopp's Improved. Professor L. B. Thompson, director of industries of the Georgia State Industrial college, is the secretary of the Fair association. He rendered very valuable service in helping to make the fourth annual industrial and economic fair the great success that it was. HIGH HONOR FOR DAVIS. Made One of King's Counsel by Attorney General Foy. Under the caption, "Ontario Leads Michigan," the Detroit (Mich.) Informer says: Attorney General Foy of the province of Ontario, Canada, has included the name of Delos R. Davis in a new list of king's counsels for that province. Mr. Davis is a colored barrister before the Amherstburg bar of long standing and will do honor to his new title of K. C. King's counsel in Ontario corresponds to prosecuting attorney in Michigan. No election or appointment to the office of prosecuting attorney has ever been accorded a colored attorney in Michigan, and hence it appears that Ontario leads us in this regard. Hon. Samuel W. Burroughs, had he been elected, would have made such an appointment. WHAT TO GIVE FOR CHRISTMAS. When thou makest presents let them be such things as will last long to the end that they may be in some sort immortal and may frequently refresh the memory of the receiver. Thomas Fuller. Let's consider the deep thought and good prompt action the eminent writer, Mr. Thomas Fuller, wished to convey to us in the above saying. Could you do better than take out a policy in the Afro-American Fraternal Life and Benefit Association? Well, I should say not. This association is paying its claims promptly while persons are sick or hurt, not waiting until they are up and well. We figure that you want your benefits while you are disabled. Read elsewhere in this paper what Mr. J. H. Jones of 2532 Clarkson street has to say about our way of paying claims. We want some good lady agents. Don't be backward about the matter. Go and see, write or telephone, our general agent, J. H. Morris, 1020 19th street, Denver, Colo., who will guarantee you from $3 to $5 per day soliciting for the association. If you don't know how, or think you care to make a good agent, Mr. Morris will teach you the business and go right along with you for several days, if necessary, and help you to get posted.

Growth of the Grand United Order Since 1844. ABLE MEN WITHIN ITS RANKS Recent Unfriendly Criticism of the Actions of the Ruling Forces at the Last Biennial Convention Prompts the Writer to Present the Numerical Strength of the Organization. By A. E. EDWARDS. There has been so much criticism of the work of the biennial movable committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which held its fifteenth session in Baltimore last September, that little or no time or attention has been given to the real merits and achievements of the organization as a whole. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America was founded by Peter Ogden. The first three lodges the outgrowth of his teachings were Philomathean, No. 646, and Hamilton, No. 710, of New York and Unity lodge, No. 711, of Philadelphia. The growth of the order since 1844 to the present time has been marvelous. Scattered throughout the country there are 5.945 lodges. 3.891 house- MAJOR JARED W. FORD. holds, 360 past grand masters' councils, 143 patriarchies and 767 juvenile branches. The total membership of the order, including all departments, is 452,546. Among the men of note who were conspicuous as leaders in the public functions and work of the last biennial convention were: Major General Jared W. Ford and his chief trumpeter, Colonel Joseph Clinton Edwards of Atlantic City, N. J.; chief of staff, John H. Bucker, Chicago; adjutant general, Colonel George W. Dawley, Philadelphia; inspector general, Colonel James O. Holmes, Washington; quartermaster general, Colonel Edgar Starling, Washington; judge advocate general, Colonel James A. Fox, Indianapolis; surgeon general, Colonel I. L. Roberts, Boston; chief engineer, Colonel J. R. F. Browne, Washington; chief mustering officer, Colonel Wesley Davenport, Boston; commissary general, Colonel George W. Hays, Cincinnati; paymaster general, Colonel James H. Young, Raleigh, N. C.; chaplain, A. COLONEL J. CLINTON EDWARDS. Colonel George E. Moore, Columbus, O.; aid-de-camps, Colonel Harry Franklin, Baltimore; Colonel C. A. Smith, Phoebus, Va., and Colonel James W. Branson, Wheeling, W. Va. The several regiments were headed as follows: First, Colonel W. C. Gray of Washington; Second, Colonel John W. Anderson of Pittsburg; Third, Colonel K. H. Edwards of Philadelphia; Seventh, Colonel D. B. Allen of New Haven, Conn.; Twelfth, Major Lawrence, and a regiment composed of Patriarchs made up from the remaining twelve regiments who only sent delegates and officers. The second and third divisions were composed of lodges, households, past grand master councils, national and foreign officers of the order. SCIENCE HALL DEDICATED. Many Distinguished Educators Present—Music by University Choir. The new science hall at Howard university, which was built through an appropriation of $90,000, was formally dedicated on Tuesday, Dec. 13, at 3:30 p. m. The speakers were: Dr. Henry S. Pritchett, president of the Carnegie foundation fund for the advancement of teaching; Dr. William H. Welch of Johns Hopkins university, Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee institute, who is also a member of the board of trustees at Howard, and Justice Job Barnard, president of the board of trustees. Science hall has been in use since the opening of the fall term, and nearly 600 students are receiving regular instruction in the departments of chemistry, physics and biology. Music was furnished by the vested university choir of fifty voices, the university band and orchestra. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. S.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

Opening of Congress Revives New Political Interest. WHAT OUR PEOPLE ARE DOING Lineup of Men of Influence and Official Position In and Out of Washington—Activity Among Educators. Freeman Dental Society Elects and Banquets New Officers. The opening of congress has transferred the scenes of activity to Capitol hill. Every day one can stand at some point on Pennsylvania avenue, near the capitol, and see distinguished senators and representatives on their way to the sessions. Most of them speed swiftly by in mammoth touring cars. As a rule, they are accompanied on their morning trips by their wives or some member of their families. There are, however, many of the senators and representatives who walk to their legislative duties. The sight of some eminent legislator walking briskly down the avenue just in time to get to his seat in the senate or house by 12 o'clock. The nomination of Whitefield McKinlay, who was appointed collector of customs for Georgetown, D. C., is among the recess appointments which came up for confirmation on the opening of congress. The general impression is that Mr. McKinlay will be promptly confirmed. He has been making good as the collector of the Georgetown port. He went into office on Aug. 4 and has been faithfully attending to his official duties. His popularity with both races makes him a most acceptable official, and it can be safely as- M. H. HON. WHITEFIELD a most acceptable official, and it can be safely asserted that his confirmation will soon be officially announced. There are quite a number of colored men of influence and standing employed at the capitol who will be very much in evidence during the sessions. There is Joseph E. Johnson, stenographer, who is with Speaker Cannon. He is known as the colored Uncle Joe. Mr. Johnson is well known by senators and congressmen and wields considerable influence with them. He understands thoroughly all of the routine methods of the house and can give one some valuable pointers on how to get a bill through. He has been employed at the capitol for a good number of years, having been on the stenographic force of Speaker Reed. Influential Men About the Capitol. There are other colored men also around the capitol who have made themselves very valuable not only to THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO J. their senators and congressmen, but also to members of their race having business at the capitol. Sometimes these employees are sought and render valuable assistance to men who are up for confirmation, sometimes by colored men who are trying to get some bill through, and they are generally ever ready to lend a helping hand. Charles Pickett of Illinois, who is with Senator Cullom; Ralph W. White of West Virginia, who is with Representative Hughes; Harry Parker, who has for years been with the important committee on ways and means, of which Representative Payne of New York is chairman, and Frank A. Byron of Illinois, who is with Representative Foss of the committee on naval affairs, are some of the men on Capitol hill who are very much in evidence these days. Bruce on Vocational School Plan. Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools Roscoe Conkling Bruce has classified and studied and Mr. A. C. Newman of the Armstrong Manual Training school has worked out the details of a plan to institute for the first time in the history of the district school a vocational school. Professor Bruce has submitted a report on the subject and expects to have a vocational school in operation next September. The new vocational school will bring the District into the forefront of educational advance. As yet there are but few such schools in existence. The most notable examples are the Manhattan Trade School For Girls, in New York city; the Secondary Industrial school at Columbus, Ga.; the Rochester (N. Y.) factory schools and the Industrial school of New Bedford, Mass. It is designed primarily for boys and girls of the sixth, seventh and eighth grade years who would not go to high school because they have to get out and work for a living. The new school will enable them to earn more money in a legitimate trade, it is believed. School figures show that hundreds of boys and girls leave the schools before the age of fifteen to engage in "blind alley" occupations, such as blacking shoes, selling papers, etc., occupations that lead nowhere. The vocational school is designed to fit scholars for well trained apprentice- Continued on page 10 HOLIDAY PREPARATIONS Are simplified by using the Long Distance Telephone.

For the third time, on the 9th, Lawyer W. B. Townsend argued before the Governor and Board of Pardons for the pardon of John Trusty, who was convicted seven years ago of having killed his wife at Colorado Springs, April 15th, 1903. Trusty was tried and convicted on circumstantial evidence and neighborhood gossip. The jury in the case was out 36 hours before finding a verdict of guilty. Now, after seven years, Lawyer Townsend, who has been persistent in his efforts to have justice done to his client, has had an order from the Governor and Board of Pardons to commute Trusty's sentence so as to set him free on January 23d, 1911. This is the second person in two years Lawyer Townsend has caused to be released from the penitentiary. The other was a woman. She was convicted of murder in the second degree and sent to the penitentiary for a term of from 40 to 60 years. After the woman was there five years Townsend secured her release in 1909, and that woman is now living in Denver and doing well. So much for the good work of a competent and untiring lawyer in his efforts for his clients. Smitherman Heads Press Association.
