Denver Star

THE DENVER STAR TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. Number 35 About 6 o'clock p. m. on the evening of March 6, 1913, a report was sent into the camp of the American soldiers that the Federals from the garrison of Agua Prieta, across from Douglas, Arizona, to the number of fifty, were marching on the Mexican town of Naco. With Sergeant Major Hilton T. Dean, 9th Cavalry, I cautiously wended my way to the line. Mounting on top of the Copper Queen Mercantile Store, only a few yards on this side of the line, we, through our field glasses, observed the approach of the soldiers. In number they were, Cavalry 21, Infantry 23, a total of 44 soldiers, entering a town to take the same. At the time of their approach there were no Rebel soldiers or Maderistas of sufficient number in the town to make any showing against them; therefore their entry was without a shot being fired. After their entrance and after all the officials of the town—who, before their arrival were outspoken Maderistas — these same officials went out a distance to greet them with friendly overtures. So amid the cheers of the peons of Vive Huerta, Vive Diez, the braves take possession of the custom house, barracks and storehouse in which latter building are supposed to be stored quantities of arms and ammunition. As the soldiers, accompanied by the town officials, are marching to the barracks, the Justice of the Peace, heretofore a staunch Maderista, espied a city police and at once points him out as being a Maderista. The "brave" soldiers arrest him, put him in their midst and start to continue their march to the barracks. The prisoner, seeing the good old American line only one block away, and also seeing numbers of the Americano Soldas along the line watching the soldiers, decide that a break for liberty and a dash for the line would serve him far better than submitting to a possible early shooting, breaks and runs toward the line. We see the break for liberty only a block away, but developments are working so rapidly that no chance is given us to seek cover, well knowing that the soldiers will fire upon the fleeing prisoner. So it is that we find ourselves directly in the line of fire. In quick succession four shots are heard, two rifles and two revolvers. One of the rifle shots passed between Sergeant-Major Dean and myself, a space of only about six inches separating us, and the other passing directly over our heads, both shots hitting the walls of the Copper Queen store directly behind us. A third shot fell on the ground not ten feet to our front. This was from a revolver. It so happened that Sergeant-Major Dean had only a few moments before permitted his wife and little baby to cross over in order that they might the better view the Mexican soldiers. When the firing began they were in the midst of it, and though shots were coming pretty close to us where we stood, the Sergeant-Major at once rushed across the line that he might rescue his family. But before that could be accomplished, the firing had ceased. The prisoner, though fired at five times, was not hit, again showing the poor marksmanship of the Mexican soldier. He made good his escape across the line and is now awaiting in Naco, Arizona, the arrival of 300 Maderistas who are expected to arrive Sunday night. Tonight 100 Maderistas will leave this side of the line to meet their friends who are in camp only a few miles outside the city. A message has been received by the Federal Commander, that if he has not evacuated the town before the arrival of this force, he will be compelled to so do and no quarter will be shown his men or sympathizers. There are two troops of the 9th U. S. Cavalry stationed at this town, and daily a strong patrol is kept along the border line out of range but in close touch with every movement made on the other side. Having spent twenty days' leave of absence in New Mexico with my family, and at the time of my leaving here, knowing that the conditions along the border were quiet, it was quite a surprise upon my return on the morning of the 6th of March, to find so much real war talk and action. I was truly glad to be back and to have an opportunity to witness the little sortie. Yet I am not so pleased to have come so near being hit by a bullet from a gun of a Mexican, especially as as they are such poor shots. An almost complete exodus of the Mexicans from the other side of the line to this side has been accomplished. All Maderistas were forced to come across and are now located on this side, under the friendly protection of the American government. They have rented floor space in the postoffice building and are now sending out instructions and orders from this side of the line. No one molests them in any way whatsoever. Nightly both parties are seen upon the streets of the American town of Naco, coming and going freely. EDWARD YORK, First Sergeant Troop A, 9th Cavalry Cavalry. In camp at Naco, Arizona.

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1913. So the People May Know With the purchase of "The Denver Star" by The Denver Independent Publishing Company, the company has changed management and name of the paper "The Denver Independent" has been temporarily dropped. The services of Mr. Campbell have been dispensed with and Mr. Chas. S. Muse selected to pilot the newspaper over the editorial sea with Mr. Geo. G. Ross as his assistant. Mr. Clarence Langston, who has been chosen to take charge of the business as manager, has been connected with The Star for four years and thoroughly understands the methods by which its former owner dealt with The Star customers. Mr. Langston is an all around and competent mechanic, which fact of itself assures the public that all job work will be up to the standard and that courtesy and fair dealing will be given alike to all. To the advertisers, patrons and subscribers, we desire to say that in combining the two papers we will give them double strength in news and advertising service. Physicians having aggravated and important cases will be accorded the courtesy of the paper. The office is still located at 1026 19th Street. Phone Champa 2962. In order that all may understand, the paper will remain in name The Denver Star. All subscribers and patrons are requested to make all remittances to The Denver Star direct, omitting name of manager or editor. All back accounts due The Denver Inependent and all future accounts due The Denver Star, will be paid to this office; all advertising accounts prior to March 1st, and all subscriptions to and inclusive of March 8, should be paid to Mr. C. A. Franklin direct at 1026 19th St. ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION Relics of Slavery. A Gathering of Remnants of the "Peculiar Institution." A handful of living relics of slavery days in the South may be found at Blue, Plains, at the entrance of the Eastern Branch of the Potomac River, near historic Giesboro Point. The District of Columbia Almshouse is located at Blue Plains, and one of the buildings of the institution is known as the "Old Men's Home." In the home are less than a score of aged colored men, former slaves. most of whom came to Washington as contrabands at the close of the great war in 1865. Some of them followed in the wake of Sherman's victorious army after its march to the sea. Others came from the adjoining States, Virginia and Maryland. Their ages range from about 70 to 100 years, and the old fellows never tire of relating reminiscences of bygone days. Like the American buffaloes, or bison, these venerable reminders of the period of human slavery in this country are fast disappearing, and in a few years the aged slaves of the Southland will be but a memory. Prior to the removal of the Old Men's Home to Blue Plains the former slaves occupied an old war-time magazine structure near the Congressional Cemetery in extreme southeastern Washington. The place had been remodeled, and the aged colored men were permitted to have gardens in which they raised all kinds of vegetables, succulent watermelons and enough tobacco to supply their needs. At eventide they were wont to gather about the doorways of the home and sing in tremulous tones old-time plantation ditties and campmeeting hymns while complacently puffing away at their clay pipes. One of the most interesting characters at the Old Men's Home is familiarly known as "Maj. Bragg," of alleged Mexican war fame. He declares he was a Major of Artillery in the War with Mexico and says at the battle Cherubusco, while his guns were moving down the ranks of Santa Ana's soldiers, Gen. Scott galloped up to his batteries and shuqted: "Maj. Bragg, for heaven's sake, desist; cease firing. You are converting this battlefield into a slaughter pen." Another relic of slavery days tells some remarkable stories of the war in the '60s. He says the first description given him by the whites of the "Yankees" was that they had horns and tails like "cattle beasts," and that they blew fire and smoke from their mouths and nostrils. "Deed, boss," the old fellow commented, "d at made us niggers moughty 'fraid of de Yankees, but we found out diff'rent after dey cum among us an' gib us food an' done told us we was free men an' wimen." Altho not very easy of access, the Old Men's Home, with its dark-skinned relics of another century, is one of the most interesting places in or about the Nation's Capital City. Notice to Clubs.

Interesting News Concerning the Race. Interesting News Concerning the Race. To Be or Not to Be. If conditions as given in the following letter are true, those who are full-fledged members of the "I Told You So Club" will have just reasons to permit their tongues to wag at will.—Ed. Special to The Amsterdam News. Washington, March 10. New Yorkers need not be surprised if they learn the Hayti ministership has been tendered, unsolicited, to Bishop Walters, and that he has accepted because the President insisted he should go. There were not a few who were here during the inauguration who got next to the fact that the good bishop is not wholly indifferent to the honor and that his wife would enjoy the honors and rest that would come to him as a diplomat. The several candidates for that job who have been satellite and fawning for the bishop, and who believe they have his indorsement, might as well awake to the fact that their hopes are soon to be dashed. It can also be stated absolutely without fear of contradiction, that Bishop Walters has not been given to understand that he will either be dictator of colored appointments or even called in to confer about colored appointments or removals. President Wilson has never given the bishop to understand that colored appointments must come through him, and he has never hinted to him that he will first confer with him about such appointments. The matter of colored patronage, it is said by a personal friend, intimate and advise with the President, is to be ignored—neither referred to in state papers or conferences. The offices not held by colored men, when vacated, will be filled by white men quietly without notification. The committee appointed by Bishop Walters on patronage will be a committee as impotent of achieving results as a committee from South Africa to demand legislation for England. The minister to Hayti may be a colored man, though that is not positively assured, for there are many hungry white Democrats, same as under the Cleveland administration, who stand ready to accept this $10,000 plum. If it goes to a colored man, keep your eye on Bishop Walters. The minister to Liberia will go to a colored man, and of course even no poor white man would accept it, but none of the colored men now in the mad, wild scrimmage for it will land it. When the time comes to name him an unknown will be unblanketed and handed a ticket for the country of sleeping disease, deadly malaria and fatal black fever. From what has leaked out through congressional sieves and caught on the rebound by attendants around the Senate and House, it can be stated positively that when Wm. H. State historian & Nat ural history Society The Denver Star FIVE CENTS A COPY ng News g the Race. Lewis retires as Assistant Attorney-General a white man will take up his duties; that when J. C. Napier is asked to resign as Register of the Treasury, a white man's name will go on the money as Mr. Napier's successor; that when Ralph Tyler ceases to audit the navy accounts, a white man will perform the duties; then when Henry Lincoln Johnson ceases drawing the salary for Recorder of Deeds, a white man will succeed him, and that when James Cobb retires from the post of Special Assistant District Attorney to private practice, a white man will get his place. There are no "ifs and ands about this, it is the straigth tip on an assured happening to be. No colored man will succeed Whitfield McKinley as Collector of Customs here, for his office is to be consolidated with Baltimore, to take effect July 1, which lets him out. Judge Terrell's time is out a year hence, so the wise ones say, and as he cannot be forced out before that time save by impeachment proceedings, the white man slated for his job will have a year to wait, but he will get it when the year is up. As the Washington Post significantly proclaimed last Sunday: "The South is in the saddle at Washington," and the mythical colored Democrat on a strenuous hunt for office might more profitably "take up the shovel and the hoe, and the natural colored Republican office holder can make ready to lay down the fiddle and the bow." Negro Soldiers Honored. A troop photograph and a communication has been received at this office from Troop "G," 10th Cavalry in Vermont. The troop is credited with being the best drilled in the regiment, and the only troop exhibiting fancy drills. At the Hudson-Fulton celebration they won several cups in competitive drills with the 15th U. S. Cavalry and the N. Y. State Cavalry (both white). In April the troop goes to Canada to attend the British-Canada-Ottawa and Montreal Horse Show and will perform for Princess Patricia of Connaught and other notables. William H. Williams, First Sergeant of the troop, is a very young man, likewise the members. The negro regiments are now made up of young men of intelligence, consequently comparing favorably with the white troops, who no doubt, is the cause of a desire to rid the army of them. The nation likes them as fighters but as exhibitors of their skill, they do not. We doff our hats to the Brittish for extending the negro troopers the invitation. COME AND SKATE.

RACE PROGRESS IN KENTUCKY Broad Achiovements of Mrs. Daisy M. Saffll LEADER IN 6000 MOVEMENTS Shelbyville, Ky.—That the race is making progress is shown by the suc- cessful men and women in Yarious parts of the country who are making headway in the trades, business and professions. ‘Their success {s proving to be an inspiration to the boys and girls who are to be the future men and women. Mrs. Daisy M. Saffell of this city is an example of what industry, honesty. ability and push will do for one pos- sessing these qualities can do for her- self. She was born in Louisville, Ky.. and educated in the public schools of that city, completing the high school course, then going to Fisk university. where she took on the finishing touches. E " i ee a e J - . ay Wes ag Ve. , herr Se AR pee es ae nina! bitsy i ekapaeen She studied music in addition to her literary work, studying at St. Joseph Catholic academy and Fisk university. After fulsblug her studies Mrs. uel turned her attention to teachifg® She spent fifteen years teaching at Prank- fort, thence to Lawrenceburs, Ky.. where she was principal. Later Mrs, Saffell decided to enter the business world; hence there was some more training necessary in order to make a success, She resigned schoo! teaching and entered Clark's College of Embalming in Cincinnati, ©., gradu- ating with honors. She fs the only woman in Kentucky who s a licensed embalmer, and in this she stands at the head of the class. She {s deeply interested in the prog: ress of her rice and I< found in every: thing that means racial uplift and progress. She is editor of the Ken: tucky Club Woman, the officis| organ of the Kentucky State Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs. She is secre: ‘tary of the Colored Funeral Directors Association of Kentucky and treasurer of the Nationa! Association of Colored Funeral Directors. At a meeting held in connection with the National Negro Business league 41 Chicago in 1912 Mrs. Saffell attracted much xttention by the report made tc the business league in ber address de livered before that body. She 1s typical Kentuckian. In secret society work she is secre tary of the District Household of Ruth of Kentucky, which has won for het many friends among the women. She was active at the session of the bien: nial movable committee held in Sep: tember, 1912, in Atlanta, Ga. where she delivered an address. “I beligve that there is a place fot every girl of my race.” says Mra. Saf. fell. “The only thing is for her to make up her mind to find it. She must not sit idle, but be up and doing, She must make each day count for some: thing. “There 1s plenty of room outside of school teaching, and our girls must find it in the business arena. Some have made success as lawyers, doctors. stenographers. clerks and along other lines, and I am proud of them.” Mrs. Saffell was married in 1897 tc Mr. G. W.

By W. ANTHONY AERY. Richmond, Va.—Significant at thia date, when current journals say so much of the fiftieth’ anniversary of the emanciputon proclamation, ure the four Phelps-Stokes lectures on the Negro problem, which were delivered during January and February at the University of Virginia under the Phelps-Stokes foundation. This is the first time such a series of lectures has ever been given in a southern univer- sity, a fact indicative of the growing consciousness in this section that this problem may be partially solved by scientific and sympathetic investiga- tion. According to Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeanes foundation, who opened the series with a discussion of “Race Ad- justment In the South,” the majority: of white southerners have for the last fifty years exercised a sort of benevo- lent tolerance in their dealings with the race question. They have worked amicably with their colored neighbors and have helped them. but they have never looked upon thelr economic, clvi! or intellectual position as a matter of study. ‘That the matter is worthy of study has been vividly demonstrated by Dr. W. D. Weatherford in his two books. “Negro Life In the South” and “Pres- ent Forces In Negro Progress,” de- signed primarily for the use of south- ern college men and extensively read in the college ¥. M. C. A. mission study groups. The tardy realization, which Dr. Weatherford has helped to bring about, that the condition of the race 1s of vital importance is blazing a trail for such a recognition of the problem as the Phelps-Stokes lectures indicate. In suggesting remedies for the in competency of Negro education and religion—two important phases of the problem—Dr. Dillard said that “Justice demands a targer appropriation to in- crease the efficiency of the public schools by the introduction of home in- dustries and by relating them to the life of the people” and that the ebarac- ter of much of the preaching by the colored clergy should be changed to show that religion has its relation ‘0 this world as well as to the next. The three other lectures were: “Black Belt Negro Labor—Its Efficiency and| Its Cost,” by Dr. Ulrich B. Phillips. professor of American history at the University of Michigan: “The Eeonom- fc Negro,” by Dr. Alfred Holt Stone of Dunleith, Miss., and “The Social and | Economic Significance of the Mentally Defective Negro.” by Dr. James Bar- din of the University of Virginia. INFLUENCE OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE IN PORTO RICO Striking Exhibit at Insular Fair In Charge of Felix Reina. San Juan, Porto Rico—Jerome B. Peterson, deputy collector of internal revenue, who has been stationed at San Juan, Porto Rico, for the past two months, writing about the third insu- lar fair, held here Feb. 22 to March 2, says: “While the agricultural, educational and sanitary exhibits were remarkable as a revelation of the marvelous rich- ness of tho natural resources of the island and the rapid growth both ma- terialiy and mentally under American guidance and stimulus. the most strik- ing feature to my mind was the ex- hibit of the public school at Juncos, a town In the district of Guayama, cred- ited by the census of 1910 with a little over 4,000 population. “This exbibit took the shape of a ‘model cottage of four rooms, built to a ‘scale of balf the normal size, and part- ly furnished, all the handiwork of the pupils. ‘There were steps leading to ‘the front porch. and stooping one could jenter the doorway to the front room. which contained table. chairs and a jyoniense: ro te'sias waste) beorism, ‘with the bed, and in the rear dining room and kitchen, Miniature plumb- | ing fixtures had been installed, to- gether with water supply and electric lighting. “But the principal feature and. the lesson that the exlibit was intended ‘to teach the people of Porto Rico was [shown in the treatment of the quarter acre plot that surrounded the cottage. On this had been planted and were growing all sorts of vegetables, cb- bages., beets. lettuce, radishes, pota- ‘toes, ete. | “As was stated to me by the young man in charge of the exhibit, the pri- mary object was to show the manses of the people what could be done by those holding a small plot of ground in raising their own vegetables and thus reducing the high cost of living, which has also entered this insular possession with the other American notions. Ac- cording to his statement, all these veg- etables tin been planted Jan. 8 and were in full growth for the opening of the fair. “The name of this young man is Fe- lix Reina. and he was formerly a stu- dent at ‘Puskegee institute, a signifi- cant fdct in this qonnection.. ‘That be also worked for a khort time in the of- fice of the New York Age while walt- ing to return to his home in Porto Rico doex not lexsen the interest of the aera | Business Men to Meet In Waco June 4.

The census reports thus far issued show in regard to agricultural conditions in the South two things: First, in both the South Atlantic and South Central states the value of farm lands and farm buildings has considerably more than doubled. They have increased in the South Atlantic states from $1,205,350,000 in 1900 to $2,072,672,000, and in 1910 it was $4,837,353,000, an increase of $2,764,681,000. Second, during this time the number of farms has steadily increased, showing that the plantations are breaking up and the era of the small farmer has arrived, while during the same period the number of Negro land owners has increased more rapidly than the number of white land owners. This certainly looks as if the Negro in the South was not going backward, despite the adverse conditions, and no matter how much the planters howl about Negro labor. To the Colorado Negro who wants to become independent soon, we say, you must own your own land before you can own your own business or banks. The basis of all wealth is the land. Take up or buy government land while it is within your reach, for in the very near future it will be out of your reach and the reach of every ordinary man. Don't put it off by procrastinating. Do it today. The vast vacant lands of Colorado need new blood to develop it. Write and interest your friends to come and develop Colorado where protection, peace and prosperity offer advance and comfort to you. Honest differences of opinion, held and expressed with a view to public good, should hurt nobody. They are wholesome. They constitute one of the most valuable assets of a progressive and public-spirited people. The Negro who believes that race caste and oppression by discriminatory laws will make his people advance ought to be sent where there is plenty of it—for instance, the convict labor camps in the South. Colorado is no place for him and he is out of place in Colorado. A DIFFERENCE IN FEELING. The best protection that can be given to the race by its members is the keeping of a silent tongue, unless one knows how to speak and the proper thing at the right time to speak about. A great many men who have access to newspaper columns do more harm by hot-headed, thoughtless wallings than they do good. A marked difference is shown in two letters which are supposed to have been open letters to President Wilson. One letter is published in a white paper in North Carolina known as the Yellow Jacket, and signed by R. P. W. Stekeleather, in which that southern rebel takes offense at Mr. Wilson for not ousting all the Republicans at once and filling their places with Democrats, whether they are capable men or not, just as long as they are Democrats. The letter itself is a disgrace and shows that it was written by a pin-head who has received his education and training in the rear end of a saloon. Lack of space prevents us from publishing the letter in full, but give just a short paragraph: "Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States. "Mr. President: If you think that your conduct in refusing to distribute the offices to the Democrats who worked faithfully for your election is going to help the Democratic party, you are not the man of intelligence the people thought you were. I have been a Democrat for over fifty years and I tell you I am dadblasted sore. I have been voting year in and year out, voting against friends on other tickets, in season and out of season, and the way you are acting with the $2.00 1.00 .50 ers sent to subscribers are lost or stolen er when due, inform us by postal card icate of the missing number.

No manuscript re- age. at the postoffice in the city of Denver. federal offices makes me feel like an unappreciated ass." In contrast we invite our readers to read the open letter to Mr. Wilson published in the March issue of the Crisis. The letter bears all the earmarks of being the works of a master mind, one of culture and intellect. And I earnestly believe that Mr. Wilson, upon the receipt of same, will lend a listening ear and feel that he has been addressed by a gentleman, and as he handles the reigns of government, when it becomes time to pull the one controlling the Negro's destiny, he will turn in his saddle and peruse the contents of this letter before giving a final pull. A small paragraph is printed herewith: True as this is, we would not be misunderstood. We do not ask or expect special consideration or treatment for our franchises. We did not vote for you and your party because you represented our best judgment. It was not because we loved Democrats more, but Republicans less and Roosevelt least, that led to our action. Calmly reviewing our action we are glad of it. It was a step toward political independence, and it was helping to put into power a man who has today the power to become the greatest benefactor of his country since Abraham Lincoln." We regret the inability of printing the entire letter. Be your own judge of the vast difference in the minds of the writers. C. E. L. TALKS FIVE MINUTES Telephone Company Lengthens Times Social Calls Responsible Denver, Colo., March 21. — Announcement made today by officials of the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph company of a change in its "two-number" toll service will affect many of the cities and towns in its territory. This change increases the time limit allowed on "two-number" calls from three to five minutes, but does not increase the cost. This "two-number" service was inaugurated about two years ago, and according to the company has become very popular with the telephone-using public. "The change was made," said a company official today, "because of the great demand for the service. A couple of years ago this service was inaugurated in many parts of the territory where a community of interests prevailed—between exchanges that were reasonably close together, having a considerable volume of business, but were connected to our long distance system. It was felt that under these conditions an express service could be furnished at a cheaper rate, the saving being in the fact that our operator would not have to look up numbers. The service immediately became popular and has continued so. Over 40 per cent, on this 'two-number' service is confined to social calls made by the fair sex, and this perhaps has been the underlying cause for our change from three to five minutes. Four minutes and nine seconds is the average length of these calls, while the average business talk is something under three minutes. No change is to be made in the rate." A large delegation of representative people met at the offices of the Colorado Commercial Alliance, 1025 21st street, to perfect plans for Dr. P. E. Spratlin's campaign for auditor of the city and county of Denver, to be voted for at the spring election. Those present were very much interested and will conduct a whirlwind campaign to elect Dr. Spratlin. He is worthy and has all the qualifications to fill the position and he is the one man that we can all unite upon, regardless of our past political affiliations. As the commission form of government calls for a non-partisan campaign and candidates must run for office without a party or organization backing; under those circumstances Dr. P. E. Spratlin will receive every Negro vote and it is the purpose of those present at the meeting Monday evening to see that every Negro voter is registered and gets out and votes for Dr. P. E. Spratlin. There will be no brass band campaign, just a quiet, steady, house to house and heart to heart talk over the importance of every colored man and woman doing their full duty at the polls this time.

She was a resident of this city for a number of years and was said by those who knew her to be a faithful and loving wife. She recently united with Payne Chapel and was baptized in that faith. The funeral services were held from the Fairley & Law undertaking establishment, Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock. "Peace" was the subject of the most touching remarks given by Rev. C. H. Boone, who had charge of the services. She leaves a devoted husband, who administered to her every want during her illness, two brothers and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. To them sympathy is extended. Interment was in Evergreen cemetery. Rev. A. M. Ward, P. E., preached the funeral of Rev. J. J. Pleasant, who died at St. Francis hospital last Saturday, at Payne Chapel, Monday afternoon at half-past 2 o'clock. The Revs. Holmes and Brooks of Pueblo, Bray of Denver, Braxton, Tillman and Boone of this city, each assisted in the service, which was very impressive. Rev. Pleasant is survived by his wife and three children. The only member of his family present was Lesile, the eldest of the children, the others, who are in Kansas City, not having found it possible to come. His remains were laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery. The deepest sympathy goes out to the bereaved. Mrs. Harriet Lewis, a long-time resident of this city and a highly respected citizen, was found dead in bed at her home, 550 East Costilla street, Saturday. She had lived here alone for a number of years and was a familiar figure in the neighborhood, where she established lasting friendships. She leaves two sons, Mr. Sigel Tarbet and Mr. Luther Tarbet of Denver, a grandson, Sigel, Jr., and a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Henrietta Tarbet, of this city. The funeral was held from St. John's Baptist church Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. W. H. Tillman officiating. She was buried in Evergreen cemetery. The deepest sympathy of the community is with those who mourn her sudden taking away. Social. The Odd Fellows' club gave a very enjoyable social at Odd Fellows' hall last Wednesday night. Rev. J. F. Curtis was the dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Watson, Sunday. Club Notes. The executive board of the City Federation will meet with Mrs. M. L. Davis next Thursday night at 7:30.

PUEBLO NEWS The colored high school students' club of this city gave a benefit program for the orphanage March 14, at St. John church. The program was the best ever heard from local talent. The members of the club are of Central and Centennial high schools. There are sixteen of these pupils, all striving to one aim, education. Rev. J. P. Watson and wife are now installed at the colored orphanage as matron and monitor. Rev.

THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 23rd Ave. and Washington Sermon Topics: 6 a. m: "Easter Carols and the Communion." 11 a. m. "Hope! Hope! Hope! For Everybody." 3:00 p. m. "Special Musical Program." PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CONCERT HUGE SUCCESS. Last Thursday and Friday nights, the old folks of the above-named church pulled off one of the most successful concerts of its kind ever witnessed in this city. The managers, Mesdames Lly Reeves and Mary Clinkscale had a plan well laid. Nearly the entire membership was placed in the harness, the pastor of the church not excluded. The public was made to interest themselves to no little extent. Every piece on the program was well rendered. The scholars of the "Deestrick Skule," under the tutorship of Rev. Thos.-Hazell, provoked incessant roars of laughter during the night's entertainment. The attendance on both nights was abnormal and especially Friday night, which was very windy and cold. The carnival was not a whit behind. The chapel, being well decorated, drew the crowd to buy the marketable commodities as well as to partake of the splendid refreshments. The only expenses were one dollar for tickets, all the "stuff" being donated by members and friends. Quite a few white friends were among the audience. The entertainment netted nearly $110. The managers, the lady who trained the old folks, the old folks themselves, the undivided membership and the sympathizing friends who contributed to make the concert and carnival such a success must be complimented for their effort. The people's church is indeed maintaining her reputation for clean and successful exhibitions. EASTER AT THE PEOPLE'S PRES BYTERIAN TOMORROW. For the past three or four years the People's Presbyterian choir has been entertaining the public with a class of music that is not to be excelled by any church of color in Denver. The Easter program promises to eclipse any of its great renditions. During the illness of the organist, Mrs. Westbrook, who is now at her post again, Rev. Thos.-Hazell had the direct supervision of the choir with Mrs. Nellie Marchbanks at the organ. Three services will be observed to morrow—6 a. m., 11 a. m. and 5 p.m. At all of these services the music will form a lively factor. The public is cordially invited to witness the program, the music of which is elsewhere published in this issue. The choir, with Mrs. Vera Finney, have tastefully decorated the choir stalls, while the decorations of the pulpit and church proper have been left to the deaconness' board. The decorations are a cynosure to the eye. Organ Voluntary, "Dawn of Hope" Lerman Hymn, "Alleluia! Alleluia!". Lux Eol Quartette and chorus, "Awakening" Homer Mrs. M. Clinkscale, Miss M.

Washington. — The nomination of Fred R. Moore by President Taft last January as United States minister and consul general to Liberia was confirmed by the senate on Saturday, March 1. The nomination of Mr. Moore had been held up for several weeks, but by an agreement between the Republican and Democratic senators on Saturday, March 1, all the diplomatic nominations before the senate were confirmed. Mr. Moore was sworn in as United States minister to Liberia at the state department on Monday afternoon, March 3. The new minister to Liberia is a native of Virginia and publisher of the New York Age, one of the most influential weekly papers published by the colored race in this country. During the last campaign this organ did yeoman service for President Taft and the Republican party. The confirmation of Mr. Moore is hailed with delight by his constituency. At the meeting of the executive committee of the National Negro Press association held in Philadelphia Feb. 1 that body passed resolutions urging the confirmation of Mr. Moore, a copy of which was sent to President Taft and duly acknowledged through Secretary Hilles. NEW BAPTIST PUBLICATION. National Metoka and Galeda Magazine Makes Its Appearance. Among the surprises upon the Sunday school world that are very pleasant appears to be the new magazine issued from the press of the national Baptist publishing board, Nashville, Tenn., for the month of March. It is a two color publication that is to be devoted entirely to the organized classes now being erected under the name of Metokas and Galedas. It can also be appropriately used in all adult or Bible classes, as it contains the Sunday school lessons conforming with the other international series turned out by the publishing houses. In addition to the lessons, however, comes the literary feature, which is certain to inject into this movement great interest. The magazine will be looked after by that same energetic force that has so successfully carried on the work of the publishing house for the past sixteen years. Mrs. D. L.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method o. treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

Fraternity In Texas Has Con- troversy Over Finances, OFFICERS MAKE STATEMENT Investigation Into So Called Shortage of Ex-Treasurer Bluitt’s Accounts Reveals Peculiar Situation — Crisis Came at Time of Bank Failures—“I Will Make Good,” Says Bluitt. Dre eines: een whee Tar oan $14,000 shortage in the Masonic grand lodge. Much discussion of the subject has brought forth many untrue state- ments. ” William McDonald (Goose Neck Bill), the secretary of the Texas jurisdiction of the Masons, xives In the current is. ue of the Masonic Quarterly. the off- vial organ of the Texas jurisdiction, what purports to be the official version of the matter. McDonald states that Dr. B. R. Blu- Itt, the grand treasurer, tendered bis resignation to Grand Master J. W. Me- Kinney on Oct. 5, 1912, after admit- ting a shortage of $13,397.26, which was afterward found to be $13.918.00; that on Dec, 30, 1912, the Oklahoma Bonding company. which was on Dr. Bluitt’s bond for $25,000, was notified that the grand lodge.- Free and Ac cepted Masons of Texas, was bolding that company responsible for the pay- ment. ‘As to the collection of the bond, Me- Donald says: “When the bond will be collected I don't know. I don’t think a living man can answer that question.” Although McDonald and Dr. Bluitt have for years and years heen close po- Htien!, persona! and fraternal friends, in speaking further of the shortage be says: “Few men can realize the an guish and pal that it gives me. 1 ean- not find It in my heart to excuse oF Justify the deliberate acts of Past Grand Treasurer Binitt.” | Stands High In Professional Life. Dr. Bluitt is the leading Negro physl- clan and surgeon in Texas. As the recognized head of the Bluitt sanita- [rium he stands at the head of his pro- fession In this state. sfud his income ts ‘said to be proportionately larger than that of any other physician of color. He admits a shortage, but explains that circumstances made it and gives jout the impression that it was created | with the knowledge of the grand lodge officials. so It is alleged. He states that |he offered to make xood the sbortage |and that he entered into an agreement with the grand lodge offictals to repay the amount ciaimed; that the grand ‘master. J. W. McKinney, deliberately broke the agreement. History of Bluitt's Official Career. Dr. Bluitt’s statement is as follows “It is needless for me to say at this time that I regret the unfortunate cir cumstances surrounding my so called shortage as grand treasurer of the Free and Accepted Masons of Texas I have held this position since 1898, and each year since that time my elec- tion has been made unanimous. { have always accounted for every cent of the money that the 7,000 Masons of ‘Texas have intrusted to my care. “I haye always taken a deep interest in the race and have from time to time invested my personal funds in stocks which were being fostered by laudable jundertakings for the benefit of the jrace—vamely, stocks of the Penny [Sivings bank, Dallas, and the Provi- dent Bank and ‘Trust company of Fort Worth. both of which institutions fail ed the early punt of 1912. | “Besides. I had xone on personal | Securities of these banks to the extent |of several thousand dollars, and upon "the failure of these banks I was forced to pay off their claims in order to keep myself in good light before the people of Texas. How well I have done that is known to all who are acquainted with my affairs in this city. Voluntarily Resigned as Treasurer. “It is true that on Oct. 5, 1912, I vol untarily resigned as grand treasurer of the Free and Accepted Masons of Tex as, The causes stated aboye and the fact that in July, 1912. the grand mas ter made the following recommenda tlon to the grand lodge placed me in & position in whteh I was compelled to turn over at ence alt moneys due the grand lodge which had been xc cumulated in vartous departments since 1898. “The resolution reads as follows: “ ‘Resolved, ‘That the Fraternal Rank and Trust company. Fort Worth, be made the depository for’ the grand lodge of the Free and Accepted Ma: sons of Texas and that the grand treasurer be required to deposit all moneys which he has or may huve in the sald institution,” “It wax known throughout the juris- Aletion that the grand treasurer was the sole custodian of ull Masonic funds and that ax partial compensation for hia services he was expected to use these funds as he saw fit since he was able to. properly meet ull elakus pre. sented to him, Agreement With Grand Lodge Officers. “When 1 offered my resizuation 1 en tered Into an agreement with the grand lodge olticers to pay them $13,807.26 In the followin mauuner: “They were to allow me five years In which to pay that anm. and 1 was to The Palmer Hotel Restaurant ‘has changed hands, now known as “HOLMES CAFE” MRS.

This\is the reason for my so called shortage.” ALLEYS IN WASHINGTON. High Death Rate Among Alley Dwell- me Revealed in New. Directory. Weshington.—A directory of the in- habit! alleys of this city has been compiled under the direction of Dr. Phorm:s Jesse Jones. chairman of the housinz committee of the Monday Eyenivz club. The work has bee~ printed through the generosity of sev eral members of the club. There are in Washington 275 blocks which have inhabited alleys, These alleys contain 3.337 dwelling houses fand approximately 16,000 inhabitants. “Conversion into minor streets is the effective remedy for the larger alleys. Complete elimination of dwelling houses is the cure for the smaller al- less.” The term alley as used in this di- rectory is any passageway or thor- oughfare within the block. less than forty feet in width, which has at least one dwelling facing upon it. In any ease where the passageway is over forty feet wide it ts still regarded as an alley. provided It does not extend straizht through the block from one street to another. ‘The alley death rate per 1,000 in 1910 for 9)! ages was 30,00 ax against 17.50 for the death rate of people living an. der ordinary conditions: for children under one year, 373.49 against 158.68.
