WOMAN OF FINE MUSICAL TALENT Success of Miss S. B. Anderson as a Vocalist. AMBITIOUS FROM CHILDHOOD Steps In the Career of a Persistent Student of Music Who Has Mastered the Profession and Founded a Conservatory—Toured Europe With the McAdee Company. Daytona. Fla.—That "music hath charms" is well demonstrated in the life of Miss S. Bell Anderson of this town, who is regarded as one of the finest vocalists among our people in this country. Miss Anderson has the distinction of being one of the few women of the race who has appeared before the crowned heads of Europe as well as before some of the most noted men and women in America. Richmond, Va., is the place of her birth, but she received her early education in Springfield, Mass., as her parents moved to that place when she was but a child. In early life she exhibited rare musical talent and was encouraged by her parents and placed under some of the best musical instructors in that part of the country. She took instrumental music, as well as voice culture. Her sweet soprano voice soon attracted attention, and from time to time she appeared in various concerts in Springfield. It is of interest to know that when Miss Anderson first appeared in a public concert she was so small that she had to be put upon a table in order to gain a view of her audience. This concert was in one of the leading white churches in Springfield. The newspapers of that city gave her an extensive writeup and predicted that in her voice she possessed a fortune. When she reached womanhood she started out under the management of G. Grant Williams, although she had been actively engaged in concert work prior to this, because at the age of fifteen she was drilling and training the Donizetti club, which was composed of some of the leading young women in Springfield. Having appeared in some of the leading cities in the United States, making good and at the same time making a reputation, it was decided on a trip abroad. She entered the late O. M. McAdoo concert company, which was planning a trip around the world. She was soon put to the front as one of the leading singers. In England she made many friends and admirers. After going through England, Africa and New Zealand she returned to this country via California. It was while on this tour that Miss Anderson appeared before kings, princes and other crowned heads of the old world. While en route from New Zealand to Tasmania, Australasia, the ship she was a passenger on was lost at sea for three weeks. During this time the food and water supply gave out. It was the hardships of this trip that caused her to resolve to give up concert work and return home and devote her time and talent to music at home. She decided to dedicate her talent to the musical development of her race. A few years ago Miss Anderson decided to accept a position with Mrs M. E. Bethune of the Daytona Industrial School For Girls. Her musical talent brought many friends to the school, and her concerts given with the students were among the finest ever held in this section of the country. In order to better render service to the people she resigned her position at the Daytona Industrial school and opened a musical conservatory in Daytona. During the tourist season she sings in the leading hotels on the east coast before some of the wealthiest people of the country, such as John D. Rockefeller, who speaks words of praise for her work. The conservatory is conducted in a neat little cottage located in one of the most fashionable parts of the city. It is patronized by a large number of young people. In addition to this work Miss Anderson is leader of the choir of the New Mount Zion Baptist church, of which the Rev. H. Holman is pastor. Under her direction is one of the best choirs in the state. She has given lectures and conducted concerts in Baltimore and other large cities. Washington, D. C.—Employes of the race in several branches of the government service here fear the present appropriation bill means the dropping of many of them from the service on and after July 1. The new appropriation bill provides for a reduction of the force in several offices, and if the rule adopted the 1st of last July obtains many know they are doomed, ane the scheme appears to them like a Democratic one to get rid of faithful and efficient employes. The new appropriation bill provides for 231 fewer employes in the Pension office. In this office there are many efficient clerks and messengers who fear the ax will fall heaviest upon them. In the Auditor for the Interior office as employees will be dropped July 1. Last July when the new Democratic Auditor from Virginia reduced his force he especially selected four efficient race employees to be dismissed. In the office of the Auditor for the War Department a reduction of seven $1,400 clerks and five $1,200 clerks is provided for. There are many clerks of the race in this office who are fearing the reduction is aimed particularly at them, and no one here doubts it. In the office of Auditor for the Post Office Department, where segregation is rife, a reduction of 25 employees is provided for. In this office their are 75 or 100 colored emyloyes, and they fear the 25 reduction means 25 of their number will go. To date the policy of this administration has been to promote none of them and to drop them whenever a reduction of force is provided for in the appropriation bill. Thus it will be seen that employees of color have just grounds for fear on July 1.—Chicago Defender. Jacksonville. Fla. -A reader of The Chicago Defender writing from Charleston, S. C., is authority for the statement that a bill will be introduced at the next session of the legislature of several Southern States making it compulsory for every Afro-American to take off his hot when riding in street cars and passing through railroad cars, in halls and churches or any other place when white women are present. This action is brought about by the fact that several white residents returning from trips North are annoyed because the men of color do not bow and cringe every time they see a white woman approach. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1914 Bishop Scott Interviewed by Reporter of Amsterdam News Says Liberia The Only Place On Coast For Colored People. The Rt. Rev. I. B. Scott, who enjoys the distinction of being the only colored bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, arrived here last Sunday from Liberia, West Coast of Africa. In an interview with a representative of this paper the bishop was asked: "Has Sam's scheme to carry colored Americans to the Gold Coast been heard of in Liberia, and is it approved?" The Bishop smiled and said: "Yes I heard of it before leaving, but I do not think much attention is being paid to it. I was informed that he sold some stock on his steamships project at Marshall, Liberia. The understanding there is that American colored men are not wanted in any English territory. The fact is I do not know any section, except Liberia, where they are either needed or wanted. You see under such a form of government as this the people develop an independent spirit that unsuits them for the conditions that prevail for the most part in European countries. I suppose the democratic form of government prevailing here is responsible." Continuing Bishop Scott said: "I should just like to speak also of the splendid service being rendered Liberia by such Americans of Major C. A. Young of the United States Army, Major Wilson Ballard, Captain R. H. Newton and two or three other military men that were sent out to organize and command the Liberian frontier force. They have shown themselves not only good organizers but good fighter. They are doing great things for Liberia." Bishop Scott was also asked: "What is the attitude of the Liberians regarding the coming of Americans?" The bishop said: "I think I can safely say, they are welcomed. The thoughtful people of the country feel that new blood and energy are absolutely necessary to the highest development of the country. Some go so far as to say that it is the country's only hope." Another question put to the bishop was: "What class of colored people from the States are mostly needed?" "Generally speaking," the bishop said, "the intelligent class, that is, people who are prepared to do something for themselves and for the general uplift and who will work. Of course, it cannot be expected that all who go will be geniuses, like T. J. R. Faulkner, who can inaugurate a telephone system or an ice factory, repair electric boats, steamboats or do most anything else that is necessary, but mechanics, lawyers, doctors, diligent farmers, etc. It would be better that they have some money, but in case Liberia needs men who can do something for themselves that will contribute to the general good. There is room and need for all suck. I have noticed that both President Barclay and President Howard seem only too glad to utilize the services of the qualified man." The News man also asked what percentage of governmental affairs are controlled by native colored men? Bishop Scott said: "There are only four white men connected with the government and they are in the Customs Department as a result of the stipulation of the recent loan. Aside from the few colored men in official life who have gone there from other countries, all Liberian officials from the president down are native black men, either of the Americo Liberian class or of the aborigines, the former are, of course, largely in the majority." While in New York the bishop and Mrs. Scott were the guest of Rev. Dr. W. H. Brook, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. church, and Mrs. Brooks, 316 West 53d street. Negro Porters Win Over Full Crew Law. Indianapolis, Ind., April 17 Railroad trainmen won a victory in the courts here in the test case brought by the State Railroad Commissioners against the railroad company for violation of the state law governing a full crew upon passenger trains. The point in contention was to the effect that the porters were not capable. The complainant prov- ed however, that he was fully qualified and stood the best examination and performed his duties well and should not be discriminated against. Any discrimination should be unlawful and unconstitutional. The judge upheld the railway commissioners and decided there should be no favoritism of races. R. Williams and R.J Holloway of Chicago were witnesses in the case. A Chaplain Gives Reasons Why Some Soldiers Become Dissatisfied. Nashville, Tenn.—In a letter written by W. W. E. Glad den, Chaplain of the 24th U.S. Infantry, to the Nashville Globe, he says an occasional article in the race papers of the states, purporting to come from some member of the 24th U. S. infantry and give the truth of a condition that is now obtaining in that regiment. These articles are so misleading, and so far from the truth and do such an injustice to the good name of the regiment now stationed in the Phillipine Islands, that he feels to try and state the facts. That quite a number of men express themselves as being dissatisfied is true, but it is due to the cutting of the double time for services in the Phillipine Islands. But this cannot be a case of prejudice, as it cuts off the double time of all the men in the army. They do not like service on Corregidor because it is an island and is cut off the mainland so that they can not go as often as they would like to. But this cannot be due to any prejudice for the 24th Infantry, as there are seven companies of C. A. C., and two companies of engineers stationed there also. The regiments that are stationed in the islands are recruited up to full strength. This is up to 150 men per company of infantry. To this a large number of recruits have been enlisted. There is no doubt but that many of these men are averse to hard work of any kind even in civil life. Many of them have no knowledge of the requirements of a soldier. They have but a vague idea of the responsibility that will fall upon them as soldiers. These men being averse to work thought the Army a good place to while away time and at the same time get three meals each day. These loafers in civil life can run from place to place but in the army they can not do so, hence they voice their displeasure by putting their tales of woe into the papers, that will print their hard luck stories without giving their names. The army is the last place for the lazy, shiftless, spend-thrift, who has no self-control and who resorts to all kinds of tricks to live up to a $50 style on an $18 income. This kind of a man soon becomes a petty thief, a derelict and disgruntle and then writes those long hardluck stories in the papers for revenge. I would would advise this kind of a man not to ask enlistment in in the army, or in army life his weakness will not be able to stand the test of manhood required in the service, he The Denver Star FIVE CENTS A COPY. Of Discrimination n The U. S. Army. Why Some Soldiers Become tisfied. will soon become amenable for dipiciline and suffer the consequences. In the army every man is thrown on his own responsibility for the development and keeping of his own manhood, and if he is not made of the right kind of stuff he is soon in bad straits. In the army he is required to obey, appar clean and respectful at all times and all places, in fact, to be a manly man. He is given a chance when he makes mistakes, but after due time if he continues to go astray, he suffers the result of his reckless course. So you can see that the army is not the place for those who do not make good a civil life. A good citizen will make a good soldier, and vice versa. —The Philadelphia Tribune. School For Eighth Regiment Corps. Washington, D. C.—Instruction camps for medical officers and noncommissioned officers of the sanitary corps of the National Guard will be established this year, it was announced at the War department recently. Among the places designated was Fort Sheridan, Illinois, where the camp will be maintained May 24 to 30 for Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Dakota and South Dakota. Nashville, Tenn.—Another high court has decided against the unAmerican policy of segregating whites and blacks. This time the decision comes from North Carolina, being the Supreme Court's delcaration of invalidity against an ordinance enacted by the city of Winston-Salem: Baltimore has tried segregation repeatedly; two different ordinances have been thrown out by the courts and a third will soon be subject to judicial action. Norfolk has attempted the same action and a test there is expected soon. The policy of segregationdoes not appeal to the open-minded. At the same time there should be consideration felt for those who feel the grind of the condition these ordinances are designed to relieve. It is no mere theory which confronts many of these communities. But where would segregation lead to if indulged in at will by the majority in a community? If a council has power to crowd the race together by themselves, what could there be to prevent a majority enforcing segregation upon any other race, group or creed whose standing in the community might not be the highest? Virtually these question appear to have been raised by the North Carolina court. In the long run, it is probable that the problem which a segregation ordinance is designed to solve will take care of itself. At any rate, it is not well to adopt a remedy which, in the last analysis, is worse than the original affection. Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH, CORNER 23RD AND LAWRENCE STS. REV.

Brief Mention of Some Organizations Which Are Doing Excellent Work. The success of the literary organizations maintained in the various sections of the country by Afro-Americans shows that the race is giving considerable time to the cultivation of the intellectual side of life. Meetings for the discussion of the current topics of the day as they relate to subjects of home, state or nation are always profitable if rightly conducted. The literary society should fill a large price in every community and should be so conducted as to hold the attention of the public in its special line, just as the church, social club or secret society touches the personal interest of its members. The selection of speakers and topics should always be given careful consideration. In the opinion of those who have had years of experience in literary organization work home talent should be given a large place both on programs for public meetings and in the work assigned to the several committees. Persons of prominence who have made a success in business or professional life should also be given an opportunity to contribute their quota of thought and experience to literary organizations. The Sunday Forum in Portland, Ore., has arranged a special program for a public meeting to be held on Thursday, March 26 and has invited President M. WALTER K. TAYLOR. William T. Vernon of Campbell college, Jackson, Miss., to deliver the principal address. Among other organizations which are doing a similar work are the Des Moines (Ia.) lyceum, Athenian literary, Memphis, Tenn.; the Christian Endeavor lyceum, Jersey City, N. J.; the St. Mark's lyceum, New York; the Bethel Literary and Historical society, Washington, and numerous others not named in this article scattered throughout the country. The Concord literary circle in Brooklyn, of which Mr. Walter K. Taylor is the president, held its annual musical and social at its last meeting in February. This annual function of the circle was largely attended by persons in and out of the city. The organization is doing a good work, and by the high character of its programs has won public favor. At the March meeting, held on the 12th, Mrs. M. C. Lawton, the only woman reporter of our race on a daily paper in Greater New York, delivered a most timely address on the subject. "What of Tomorrow?" Mr. Walter K. Taylor, president of the Concord literary circle, is a native of Montgomery, Ala. He is well equipped for the position, both by education and experience. Besides his public school training, Mr. Taylor is a graduate of the Agricultural and Mechanical college in Alabama, of which the late William L. Councill was president. Mr. Taylor since becoming a resident of Brooklyn has taken a special course of study at Pratt institute. He is a student of books and is one of the most useful young men in the community. Decision In Test Segregation Case. The recent segregation ordinance in the town of Winston-Salem, N. C., has been declared illegal. The new law was tried out in the case of the town of Winston-Salem against William Darnell, an Afro-American property owner. The case was tried in the state supreme court before Chief Justice Clark, who in giving his decision declared that the aldermen had no right to pass this ordinance. Darnell won on the ground that the ordinance forbids property owners to rent or lease buildings to whomever they pleased and sanctions taking property without due legal process. BENEFITS WHOLE NATION. Andrew Carnegie's Opinion of the Hampton (Va.) Institute. BY WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY. Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute, called the workers and students together in Cleveland hall chapel, Hampton, recently, to listen to an address by Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who has given more for the education of colored people than any single man in the world. When Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie, accompanied by Miss Margaret Carnegie, entered Cleveland hall chapel with Dr. and Mrs. Frissell the audience rose and gave a most hearty greeting of applause. Then Major R. R. Moton lead the Hampton school chorus in the singing of "Oh, Freedom," "Loch Lomond," "Want to Go to Heaven When I Die" and "I'm Rolling Through This Unfriendly World." Dr. Frissell declared that the Hampton school was most happy to pay its tribute of respect and honor to Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie, who have shown their real greatness through service to their fellow men. "I had no true conception of the value of the work which you are doing for your country," said Mr. Carnegie. "The more we look into and the more we examine Hampton the higher would we place this institution as doing a great work for the whole country." Then he referred to the high standard in deportment, in speech and in manner which he found among the Hampton students. "We cannot be surprised that there are situations open for five times the number of such men and women as Hampton is sending forth. There is no danger about your future. Your country needs you and appreciates you. It is anxious to have you come and render the service which you alone can give. A. ANDREW CARNEGIE and what the curriculum of Hampton, so far as I know, alone can give," said Mr. Carnegie. In his address to the boys he said: "The greatest rock that there is in the path of the young man, if he wishes to live a useful life, is drink. More young men are ruined by drinking liquor than by any other cause. It is a very silly thing for a young man not to resolve that he will never touch liquor. There is another vice, gambling. Now, gambling should not be tolerated, because it is not honest. If the cards go in the right direction you take what you have not earned. If they run in the other direction you have lost what was given to you for good purposes and have thrown it away. You are guilty, whether you win or lose. "You can depend upon what I am telling you, that drinking and gambling men fall—and deserve to fall." In conclusion, Mr. Carnegie said: "We are delighted with everything we have seen here, especially with the students. We cannot fall to see that you are not only on the upright path, but are far along, and you are going to live your lives—here is the great test—seeing that you leave this world just a little better than you found it." CONVENTION OF EDUCATORS. National Association of Teachers to Meet in Savannah July 29. The city council of Savannah, Ga., has appropriated $300 at the request of Major R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State Industrial college of Savannah, toward the entertainment of the National Association of Teachers In Colored Schools, which meets in Savannah from Wednesday, July 29, to Saturday, Aug. 1. It is expected that this will be the largest and best convention of the teachers ever held. Teachers and citizens generally are greatly interested and extensive preparations are being made to provide adequate accommodations for the delegates and visitors. Collection of Valuable Music Burned. The large collection of musical selections belonging to the orchestra of the widely known Clerf club of New York was unfortunately burned recently by mistake of the janitor of the building in which the club held an entertainment. The bundle of music was left in the building by Mr. James Reese Europe, leader of the orchestra. The janitor evidently mistook the package for rubbish and threw it into the furnace. The collection contained some of the best musical selections of the most noted Afro-American composers and was valued at $1.000. Mr. Europe has been collecting this music for several years at considerable expense and feels the loss of it very keenly.

St. Augustine, Fla.—From the position of janitor of a large building in Chicago to one of the most successful physicians in the country is the distinction won by Dr. D. W. Roberts of St. Augustine, whose practice among the white people in this place is as large if not larger than that among the members of his own race. Dr. Roberts was born in Charlottesville, Ind., where he attended the public school in the primary grades, and afterward took his high school training in Kansas City, Mo., graduating therefrom with honors. Like most young men, he had to work his way from the ground up, so to speak. He was very ambitious and never gave up the struggle. He graduated from Jenner Medical college in June, 1896, with honors and in 1897 took the Florida state board medical examination and passed with 1930 D. W. ROBERTS, M. D. a good average. He opened his office in St. Augustine and is doing well. He went to the city only to remain a short time, but the city now declares that he would not leave the south because of the large amount of good he is able to do in this section of the country. He is a member of the African Methodist church and is devoted to his church and the cause of uplift of the race. He is liberal in his contributions to the church and the cause of education. No one ever appeals to him for assistance and is turned away. If a sick person applies to him without money he is ready and willing to assist such, giving him such treatment as is needed. There are many cases where Dr. Roberts has gone to the homes of his patients and taken money out of his pocket to assist them in their needs. He owns some good property in this city and is conducting a private sanitarium, giving employment to a number of our people. He is kept on the go day and night. The Epworth Herald, published in Chicago, when Dr. Roberts graduated had the following to say about him: "Dan, we called him. He is Dr. Roberts now. Dan has been the janitor of the Book Concern building at Chicago for the past six years. "He has swept and scrubbed and dusted and kept things generally in order. It is a large building, and Dan has been compelled to work early and late. But meanwhile our colored friend has taken a full course at a reputable medical college. How he found time to attend lectures and clinics and prepare for recitations is more than we can understand. "Last week Dan graduated with honors. That is why we now say Dr. Roberts. The fact is mentioned to show other young men what may be done under the most discouraging circumstances. If a young fellow is determined to secure an education and fight his way to the front nothing can keep him back."

Infuses New Life Into Local Business Leagues In Various Towns. By E. R. HARRI5. San Antonio, Tex.-Ralph W. Tyler, national organizer for the National Negro Business league, completed his first week of a tour through Texas here on Saturday, April 11. At Houston, Temple, Waco and this place Mr. Tyler was greeted with great audiences and succeeded in arousing great interest in the National Negro Business league's work. In every city he received a wonderful ovation, and Texas' traditional hospitality was exemplified in banquets, luncheons and dinners given in honor of the distinguished guest. Mr. Tyler's address delivered here before a packed house was frequently applauded, and at its conclusion a rising vote of thanks was given him. His address had a profound effect, and no speaker in years has visited this city who was more warmly received or hospitably entertained. The people of San Antonio will long remember the address, which was a gem of facts and figures, told in a plain, straightforward, impressive style. As a result of his visit to Texas, and especially San Antonio, the membership in the local leagues have been greatly increased. All Texas will go to the National Negro Business league meeting in Muskegee, Okla., next August. Mr. Tyler has aroused the greatest enthusiasm in the coming meeting. "Come again soon" was San Antonio's invitation to Mr. Tyler. The Bridges Hat Co. Denver's Most Successful Hatters 1845 CALIFORNIA ST.

New York.—One of the most potent movements in this city for the uplift of the race and which also has for its object the evangelization of Africa is the African Redemption society, of which Mrs. Lelia Walters is president. The organization is ten years old, and during its decade of existence it has done much to carry light and inspiration to the dark continent of Africa. The organization hopes to awaken a new interest in Africa and to bring about a nationalism on the part of the natives. Some of the most prominent women of the race are identified with the movement and are enthusiastic over the new awakening that is being manifested in the affairs of Africa. The tenth anniversary of the organization was celebrated with a public meeting, which was held at Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion church. A historical review of the organization was made, and various phases of the evangelization's work were discussed by well known men and women of the race. Among the prominent speakers were Hon. J. Edmestone Barnes of London, who was secretary of the legation at Liberia under Dr. Ernest Lyons. Mr. Barnes spoke on "The Economic Value of the Native Races in African Redemption." Quick Service Mrs. Lella Walters presided, and there was an opening chorus by the church choir. Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooke, Mary C. At the conclusion of the program the annual reception to the members and friends, which is an interesting feature of the annual meetings, was held. The officers of the organization are: President, Mrs. Lella Walters; first vice president, Mrs. E. A. Johnson; second vice president, Mrs. J. W. Johnson; secretary, Mrs. Anna Harper, and treasurer, Mrs. A. Jackson. Among the patroncesses of the organization are Mrs. W. D. Crum of Charleston, S. C.; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington; Mrs. J. S. Jackson of Birmingham, Ala.; Mrs. Lella Walker of Indianapolis; Mrs. A. W. Blackwell and Mrs. G. W. Clinton of Charlotte, N. C.; Mrs. Charles Young of Liberia, Africa, and Mrs. P. A. Payton, Mrs. Charles Roberta, Mrs. C. W. Anderson and Mrs. J. C. Thomas of New York.

Entered as second class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. We have noticed that for some reason, whether it be a religious, or racial one, the failure of the highway department to employ Negroes on the streets as street sprinklers, teamsters or even use horses and wagons belonging to Negroes to haul gravel, etc. In carefully looking over the different denominations and races employed by Messrs. Marlowe & Sheriff, one can see that the majority belong to a certain church. The Negro is asleep and will never get a chance to earn back some of his taxes paid unless he wakes up and gets busy. It has been reported to us that one certain highway commissioner point blank told a Negro teamster, after fooling him some time by having him come daily from time to time to go to work, that he could not nor would not use Negroes on the streets of Denver. We wonder to what denomination does Otto Thum belong? There are rumors that certain commissioners are to be recalled. If the matter crystallizes the Negro will have a chance "to have them stand up and answer" for their stewardships. Colorado is going through one of the fiercest industrial struggles that she has ever had to face in all of her history. Women and children are killed along with their husbands and brothers who are shooting down other men and brothers and in turn being shot down themselves. Denver, while not in that district, recently had a mob to visit one of our hotels and mistreat one of its guests on account of his religious activities. In northern Colorado this same riotous spirit has prevailed and there seems but one place in Colorado that is now immune from trouble and that is the Western Slope. The lessons of the Denver mob and the southern industrial situations spell this to the Negro that whatever may happen the white strikers or operators, murderers or hoodlums, they will have a fair trial. Every avenue, every means of escape will be exhausted in their behalf. It is doubtful whether colored men, under the same conditions, would receive the same fair treatment and meet with the desire to allow every opportunity in the interests of justice, especially when the spirit of discrimination is so intense against a man of color silently enjoying in a respectable manner a public five-cent show without being insulted. Colored people find little sympathy to waste on Mother Jones, the strikers or the operators. They do believe, however, that the mines should have a right to operate unmolested as well as the miners who desire to work. DEARF IELD AND ITS CONCERNS. Dearfield Colony is perhaps one of the most prosperous outlooks for the Negroes in the state of Colorado. More than 57 families have settled down there. The colony has accustomed actually more than the $40,000 appropriated by the state to the Immigration Board to induce settlers to locate at this place. Being nigh circumvented by rivers, ditches, lagoons and lakes, besides being in the dainbelt of the Platte valley, healthful prospects are the natural conclusion for farming and stock raising. An experienced farmer estimated the rainbelt of the Platte valley, health on 160 acres. The soil is congenial to beet growth and the cultivation of varied grains for man and beast. Being devoid of religious institutions for a circumference of 15 miles, early in February more than 50 applicants applied to the Presbytery of Denver for the establishment of a house of worship and the organizing them into a Presbyterian congregation. Pursuant to this request, Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell was delegated with Revs. Penney Martin, J. Mont Travis and C. K. Powell to make investigations and grant the requests of the petitioners --- AMPA 2962 Seet, Denver, Colorado $2.00 1.00 .50 rate, all subscriptions must be paid ation.

Sunday, April 19, Union Church was organized tentatively. Three boards of officers elected, Auxiliaries, etc., consummated. The Presbytery of Denver ratified the action of the committee at its annual meeting last Tuesday. The church building is in course of erection by carpenters of the People's church of Denver. The Presbytery will spend $1,000 for workmanship, lumber, transportation, etc. Being in the geographical zone of the Presbytery of Boulder, said committee of Denver Presbytery have been commissioned to request the Boulder Presbytery to turn over the field to Denver Presbytery so that it might become a mission of the People's church. An extraordinary strong student-pastor from Biddle University, N. C., will minister to the congregation from June to September. The Board of Missions have agreed to pay his transportation to and from the university, in addition to his board and room on the field with a further allowance of $10 per week. At the expiration of the summer term the Rev. Jas T. Smith, M. D., late chapain of the United States Army at Charleston, S. C., but now of Madison, Ca., will assume the pastorate there as assistant pastor to Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell of Denver at a salary of $1,200 per annum. At the townsite, Hotel "Priscilla" is now in course of construction. Accommodation will therefore be afforded to all visitors and friends who desire to make a trip to the place. During this summer the greatest excursion ever pulled out from Denver will go there. Read Mark. Learn. Inwardly Digest. Do you play pool? Come to 2051 Champa St. Can you play billiards?

Gentlemen and Friends; I am proud that I have the pleasure of celebrating our dear old mother's anniversary—one who has lived 65 years; served as a slave about 18 years; 50 years in the Baptist church and yet serving the good Lord and Master with credit, and over 45 years married to one man, both serving in the same church. This dear old couple brings joy and pleasure to us children, him serving as a slave, and then serving as a United States soldier, in honor of the flag of his country, and helping to liberate and free his race; serving as a deacon for 30 years without being in any disgrace or reproach upon his denomination, and retired from the board as an honest Christian henchman. Not only are we proud of this dear old mother and father, but the white race is proud of them; they are a credit to our race. May the Lord bless them and keep them for heavenly glory. Let us walk in their footsteps, and God will be pleased. MRS. R. H. JOHNSON. Rev. P. J. Price and wife, Deacon W. A. Moore and wife, Deacon Jas. H.

These people brought new energy to the old folks and their friends gave Mrs. Lottie Dickerson such a pleasant surprise on her 65th birthday that it will take years to eradicate the sweet and pleasant memories attached to the event. Response, Mrs. A. W. Knox. Dear Friends:—We have gathered in this domicile to celebrate the 65th birthday of Mrs. Lottie Dickerson, whom we love as a mother. We feel very grateful to our Heavenly Parent for sparing this, our dear mother, to see 65 years, and who has spent the greater portion of her life in the service of the Lord and the uplifting of humanity. We pray her Godspeed and wish her a happy birthday and may she live to enjoy many more such occasions. May the lives of she and her companion be as bright as the sun that shines. . MRS. R. H. JOHNSON. MRS. A. W. KNOX. POTENT HUMAN RIGHTS-AGENCY National Association Meets In Baltimore, May 3. LOCAL WORKERS ARE ACTIVE Forecast of Program and Topics For Discussion at the Sixth Annual Conference of Influential Society For the Advancement of Colored Peoples. List of Speakers. BY CHARLES T. HALLINAN It is doubtful if the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People has ever offered a more brilliant program or a more militant one than the program which it announces for its sixth annual conference, to be held in Baltimore from Sunday, May 3, to Tuesday, May 5, inclusive. In view of the fact that Baltimore is a typical southern city it might be expected that the association, following the line of least resistance, would tone down its program in order to make it more congenial to the ears of Baltimore. But the announcements made by the press committee of the speakers and topics chosen up to date indicate the determination of the directors of the association to "talk straight" on the race question no matter where they meet. The conference, for example, will deal frankly with local Baltimore conditions, including the segregation ordinances and the fight for their political rights which the colored voters of Maryland have had to make. Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins of Baltimore whose brilliant fight against the segregation ordinances has thus far held the Bourbons at bay, will talk on the local situation, as will also the Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte, ex-attorney general of the United States, and Dr Howard Kelly of Johns Hopkins university. Mr. Moorfield Storey of Boston, the national president of the association, will preside at the opening session on Sunday afternoon, May 3. Perhaps the most significant address on that occasion will be the paper by Dr. Jacqueline Loeb of Columbia university, America's foremost biologist, on "The Theory of Racial Inferiority In The Light of Recent Biological Knowledge." We suspect that there will not be much left of the theory of "racial inferiority" when Dr. Loeb gets through with it. Another distinguished speaker on that occasion will be Mrs. Robert La Follette, wife of the senator from Wisconsin, who will talk on "The Colored Working Woman." Mrs. La Follette's blunt words in La Follette's Weekly regarding the president's segregation policy in Washington mark her out as a woman not afraid to voice her convictions whether they be popular or not. The Rev. R. W. Bagnall of Detroit, a priest of the Episcopal church, will talk on "Color and the Church." Mr. Archibald H. Grimke of Washington will preside Monday afternoon, and Dr. Joel E. Spingarn of New York, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, will preside that night. Addresses will be made Monday by Mrs. Havelock Ellis, wife of one of England's most distinguished scientists; Attorney Justin Carter of Harrisburg, Pa.; United States Senator Wesley L.

WORK OF HOLSEY NORMAL ACADEMY High Purpose of a School In Cordele, Ga. EFFORT TO INTEREST BOYS Institution Located In Thickly Settled Section of Crisp County Prospers Under the Able Leadership of the Rev. G. W. F. Phillips—Increase In Opportunity For Industrial Training. Cordele, Ga.—Rev. G. W. F. Phillips, brother to Bishop C. H. Phillips, is one of the factors in the educational development of the race in Georgia, in which state he is doing a substantial work for racial uplift. For some time he has been at the head of the Holsley Normal and Industrial academy, located in Cordele, which is attended by 200 students. He was born in Milledgeville, the old capital of Georgia, something over sixty years ago. He was among the first students to enter the school of the American Missionary association in 1866. As a student he was zealous in his studies, which were continued at the Lewis high school in Macon, Ga., now known as the Ballard Normal. After completing the Ballard Normal course he entered Atlanta university, and in this school he was associated with some of the best known educators of J. REV. G. W. P. PHILLIPS. the race, such as Rev. J. E. Smith of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Rev. E. J. Penny; Dr. W. H. Crogman, Clark university, Atlanta, Ga., and Major R. R. Wright, president of Georgia State Industrial college in Savannah. While the Rev. Mr. Phillips has done some religious work, yet he has devoted most of his time to teaching, for which work he seems to be consecrated and prepared. During his life in the schoolroom he has inspired hundreds of young men and women to aim for the higher things in life, and many of them are now making good records in their chosen calling. He has had an eagle eye to business and has taken advantage of every opportunity to invest in real estate. He owns some of the best located property in Americus, Ga., his home. He was the first principal of the Americus public school and held the position for ten years, resigning to do pastoral work, in which he was very successful. It was in the fall of 1907 that he was selected to take charge of the Holsley Normal and Industrial school. He has added much to this school, and during his administration there have been ten graduates. Holsey academy is located in the beautiful and rapidly growing city of Cordele, the county seat of Crisp county, in the heart of the so called "black belt" of Georgia. It can be reached from all parts of the state at convenient hours, as the Seaboard Air Line. Georgia Southern and Florida and Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic all meet here. Owing to the lack of means, the school cannot do very much in the line of industrial training as yet. It has made a beginning, however, in plain sewing and fancy needlework, millinery, poultry raising and agriculture. It has organized a boys' corn club and does dairying on a small scale. The institution stands first of all for Christianity. "We believe Christ was the ideal man, and the Christian standard is the one all men should strive to reach," says Principal Phillips. "The Bible is therefore given as prominent a place as circumstances will authorize. Sabath school is held every Sunday afternoon and prayer service every Sunday evening. "The use of good English and as thorough knowledge of history, geography, grammar, arithmetic and kindred subjects as we can give, rather than a smattering of foreign languages, is our object. "We have had a dormitory erected for boys. It is a well built two story structure and will accommodate thirty boys. In most of our institutions, regardless of their grade, the girls by far outnumber boys, and for that reason it seems to me some special efforts should be made to get boys interested in their education. At the same time no young man should be encouraged in the idea of getting something for noth ing."

From that city he sent his wife to Syracuse N. Y., and later on he followed and from there they went to Detroit, Mich., thence to Chicago, Ill., where he re-married his wife—(as they had no certificate of their THE marriage in Virginia, as Mr. Whipple was a slave and Miss Smith a freeborn woman the laws forbade such marriages) In December of the year 1854, they were joined again in holy wedlock by a pastor by the name of Rev. John Weaver, of the A. M. E. church of that city and remained there 25 years. While there he was headwaiter for a catering establishment for a number of years and finally went into business for himself, running the Merchant's Trust and Bankers's Cafe, until the close of war. He was then employed as a janitor in the Chicago Tribue building and was its first janitor of color. In July 1874 after the Chicago fire, the family moved to Denver, followed by Mr. Whipple in September and never left the state since that time. From this union there were born nine children, of whom two were boys and the rest girls. The three children now surviving Mesdames E. Hamilton, James Haskins and Robt.

POPE-TURNBO PROPRIETOR "Poro" College 3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo. 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 of 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.

JONES MAKER OF ALL KINDS OF EDUCATORS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING Association of Industrial Schools Discusses New Plans. MAY FORM CENTRAL BUREAU Economic Value of Federating Educational and Religious Institutions Explained by the Rev. J. T. McWilliams of Cleveland—Leslie Pinckney Hill Elected Secretary and Treasurer. New York.-The Association of Negro Industrial and Secondary Schools, made up of twenty-three schools in the south, recently held its annual meeting in this city. Well known educators of both races, many of whom are educational experts and from many sections of the country, were present and discussed problems confronting the rural and secondary schools of the south. The aim of this organization is to gather together the representative schools of the race into one federation. The movement has the endorsement of Oswald Garrison Villard, Clarence Kelsey and Dr. S. H. Bishop, well known white friends of the Negro, who have made a serious study of the problems affecting their education. The conference was called to order Wednesday by Miss Emma Wilson of the Mayesville Educational and Industrial institute at Mayesville, S. C., who is vice president of the organization. Secretary Leslie P. Hill of the Cheney institute at Cheney, Pa., read the minutes of the last session. Among the subjects taken up at the first day of the conference was the plan of federation upon which the schools would work. C. W. Williams, secretary of the Cleveland Federation of Charities and Philanthropy of Cleveland, O. discussed the method upon which that organization worked. He told how since this movement be- [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. WILLIAM H. HOLTZCLAW. gan in Cleveland a better system had been brought about, which meant a direct economic gain. He said that there were fifty-five charitable organizations of Cleveland in the organization, and that at their last report it was found that each of them was on good footing. He told how the donations to these institutions flowed through one source and how, before this system began, there was much dissatisfaction over the distribution of funds. Rev. J. T. McWilliams of the Cleveland Federation of Churches of Cleveland, O., was present and told how the churches of that city had federated for mutual benefit. Rev. McWilliams was invited to the conference to meet with the educators with a view of having him become the head of the proposed bureau. A conference was held with Rev. McWilliams and a committee consisting of Leslie P. Hill, W. T. B. Williams, O. G. Coleman and H. G. Hunt. Rev. McWilliams was impressed with the movement and promised to give the committee a definite answer by June. The officers of the organization are W. H. Holtz of the Utica Normal and Industrial school at Utica, Miss., president; Miss Emma Wilson of Mayesville, S. C., vice president, and Leslie P. Hill of Cheny, Pa., secretary and treasurer. Among the principals of schools represented and other educators were Wallace Battle of the Okolona Industrial college, Okolona, Miss.; H. G. Hunt of the Fort Valley High and Industrial school, Fort Valley, Ga.; W. J. Edwards of the Snowhill Industrial school, Snowhill, Ala.; Emmanuel Brown of the Street Manual Training school, Alabama; G. E. Read of the Cheriton Institute, Cheriton, Va.; Rev. James Russell of the St. Paul Normal and Industrial school at Lawrenceville, Va.; E. A. Long of the Christiansburg normal school, Christiansburg, Va.; Miss M. E. Jackson of the Lucy Laney school of Augusta, Ga.; Charles E. Mitchell of the West Virginia Institute, Institute, W. Va.; Dr. J. H. Dillard of the Jeanes fund, Rev. Dr. Credit of the Downingtown (Pa.) school, S. C.

J. E. Mason of Livingston college at Salisbury, N. C. RISE OF W. H. THOMPSON. How He Worked His Way Up From Obscurity to Prominence Jacksonville, Fla.—W. H. Thompson, LL B., represents the possibilities of the young man who will take time to prepare for his life's work. With a large clientage and a busy life he easily ranks with the leading men of his profession. He was born on a plantation about twenty miles from Winsboro, S. C., Sept. 3, 1879. His parents resided at Winsboro until their son reached the age of nine, and then they moved into Florida, where young Thompson was placed in the public school. He made rapid progress in his studies and was industrious otherwise. He later entered the Edward Waters' college, Jacksonville, Fla. There was still a desire on his part to get a higher education or to reach the top, so he entered Howard university, in Washington, with the determination to prepare for his chosen profession. It was in 1903 that he finished the law course at Howard and immediately went back to Florida, where he now enjoys a lucrative practice at the bar. Lawyer Thompson is one of the foremost men of his profession in Florida and is highly respected by the judges and all the practitioners regardless of race or color. It is his ability which has won for him friends. He has won some important cases in the courts of Florida. He has not stopped at merely practicing law, but he has accumulated some valuable real estate in the city of Jacksonville and other parts of the state. His home is one of the finest occupied by any member of the race. He has a cultured wife and one child. In the Masonic temple he has a suit of rooms, where he is kept busy every day, with an expert stenographer as his assistant. In anything that is for the betterment and uplift of the race Mr. Thompson is always ready to cooperate. He is one of the most popular Odd Fellows in the state, holding the position of grand attorney for the district grand lodge, looking after the large holdings of the order as well as protecting its interests in the courts. He is one of the leaders in the Masonic fraternity, being a prominent member of the grand lodge. Now all of this has been accomplished through hard work. He has worked his way through school and is an example for the young men of his race. During his school life Mr. Thompson would work as Pullman car porter during the summer months, saving his money, and in the school months he was found working as hard trying to shine his brains as he was in shining shoes on the Pullman cars. STATE HEALTH CAMPAIGN. Organization Society Pushing Work For Cleanup Day In Virginia. Hampton, Va.-The Negro Organization Society of Virginia, through its president and executive secretary, is planning for another state wide "cleaning up campaign" April 26 to May 2, similar to the cleanup day so effectively observed last year by the colored people in every community of the state. Last year the society arranged with the state board of health to set apart and observe one whole day as cleanup time all over Virginia. As an aid to a proper observance of the health day the health board published and distributed free of cost to the society a special health bulletin, in which were given instructions as to how to proceed in the matter of effective cleaning. Health bulletins this year will be sent in large numbers to the ministers, teachers, doctors and other leaders of the people in every city and county of the state to be read, distributed and explained to the masses of the people as they gather in the churches, schools and other places of assembling. Special letters accompanying copies of the health bulletin will be sent to almost all of the white and colored newspapers of the state, the editors of which have uniformly lent their columns and news space to a wide publicity for the health movement. The great possibilities for good to all the people of Virginia, especially to the colored people, shown by the results of last year's cleanup day have convinced the Negro Organization society of the advisability of arranging for another beneficial cleaning up time. This year the colored people are planning for a whole week, called "the general cleaning up week," beginning April 26 and ending May 2. Remarkable Achievement in Finance. The raising of $31,600.30 in ten days by the colored citizens of Nashville, Tenn., to meet the conditions of a gift of $25,000 from Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago and $45,000 donated by the Central Young Men's Christian association for erecting a modern building for the work of the colored young men of Nashville was a most notable achievement. The campaign began March 20 and closed on March 30 with more than the required amount raised. Henry Allen Boyd and Dr. J. E. Mooreland, one of the international Y. M. C. A. secretaries, directed the work, assisted by captains of nine teams which secured cash and subscriptions. Industry of the Homemakers' Clubs. Jackson Davis, Richmond, Va., state supervisor of rural schools, reports that 617 colored girls belonging to "homemakers' clubs" in fifteen counties of Virginia cultivated last summer some 538 gardens, received 198 cooking and 178 sewing lessons, canned 10,504 jars of vegetables and fruits. The value of this work is that it teaches thrift and real economy as well as respect for the home-making arts.

The National League on Urban Conditions Among Afro-Americans, with headquarters at 110 West Fortieth street, New York, is fostered by the philanthropy and guided by the intelligence of a committee of representative white and colored citizens. Professor George E. Haynes and Eugene Kinckle Jones are director and assistant director respectively. The league's work in New York city is meeting the approval of the public at large. Its rapid and extensive growth is shown by the three offices and corps of fifteen workers, which would have been impossible but for the sanction and co-operation of members of the race in New York city. This confidence, however, could only be developed when the service rendered is efficient. The workers are all trained and peculiarly adapted to their special lines of service. Every Afro-American should become personally acquainted with the league and its work. Perhaps the friendly contact might help to correct a defective physical or moral tendency in some child. Perhaps some unpleasant condition in the house where you live needs correction. There are many ways in which we can help. If not, we can put you in touch with agencies that can give you the desired assist ance, says the management.

Washington.-The second blow to race segregation since the national anti-segregation petition by colored citizens was presented to President Wilson by a delegation of the National Independent Political league last fall is announced in a recent report, which states that the last of color segregation in the departments of the government service in this city has come to an end on an order issued by Charles S. Hamlin of Boston, the senior assistant secretary of the treasury. The segregation had hovered longest in the bureau of engraving and printing of the treasury, where some 300 colored girls were during all of last summer ordered by Director Ralph to desist using the common dining room at the luncheon hour, but to use instead a small room containing the lavatories assigned to colored people. The crowding was terrible, and there were other obvious objections. Mr. Ralph refused to make a change, however, and the former head of the fiscal division, Assistant Secretary J S. Williams, a Virginian, did not make use of his authority, being, in fact, not a little responsible for the indorsement in the treasury department of such segregation. Mr. Hamlin has now succeeded Mr. Williams, and he has eliminated the last of the segregation, as reported, by ordering, now that the bureau of engraving and printing is to occupy its new quarters, that all employees shall use the common dining room there provided. The colored people are very grateful to Mr. Hamlin. Recently prominent colored citizens appeared in protest to a committee in congress giving hearings on a bill purposing a legal enforcement of segregation in general in Washington. When the delegation of the National Independent Political league made the argument against segregation President Wilson promised an investigation, which he later made. When John Skelton Williams was made comptroller of the treasury the league's secretary, W. Monroe Trotter, asked Representative Peters of Boston to use his influence for the appointment of Mr. Hamlin to first assistant treasurer, as the following letter to Mr. Trotter shows: House of Representatives, Washington, Jan. 23, 1914. Mr. William Munroe Trotter, Cornhill, Dear Trotter—Your wire is at hand. I wish to say that I am urging on Mr. Hamlin the appointment of some one unprejudiced to take Mr. Williams' place, left vacant in the treasury. Yours sincerely, A. J. PETERS. On Feb. 19 Secretary Trotter telegraphed Representative Peters to see Mr. Hamlin as to undoing segregation. In reply he wrote, "Have you any recent information which would show that the relief which was promised your committee is not being carried out in the department here?" In reply Secretary Trotter wrote on the 2d of March that the president's promise had not been carried out and urged action. Then came this reported action by Assistant Secretary Hamlin on March 6. When the league's delegation had its hearing, being presented by Representative Thacher of Massachusetts, the league did not cease its work. At Christmas it issued a second appeal to the president, which was presented to him in person by Representative Peters before the president went south. Again on Jan. 23 the league had another protest on a clear case of railway postoffice segregation filed with the president by Representative Thacher.

C.-Instead of the fair held annually in aid of the Jenkins orphanage in this city the directors have requested the Rev. D. J. Jenkins, president and founder of the institution, to make a tour of the state in the interest of the work. President Jenkins has decided to make the trip and has selected as his subject, "The World's Fair on the Road." He will begin the tour on Tuesday, April 14. Public meetings will be held in every large city and town in the state, winding up with a big demonstration at home on Monday, May 20. The program for the trip will be in part as follows: Concerts by the orphanage band of twenty-five pieces, playing the "Fall of Jericho" and "The Holy City." The subject for debate will be, "The North Against the South." Miss N. B. Spencer will represent the north and Miss A. E. Robinson will speak for the south. The discussion will be settled by the orphanage man, who will offer a compromise between the two sections of the country represented by the speakers. Much interest is being manifested by the public in the coming campaign through the state and the management feels confident that the change from the old form of entertainment will result in substantial financial aid for the institution.
