The Ninth and Tenth United States Cavalry, composed of the invincible black troopers, who won glory for themselves and their race in the Spanish-American War, have been summoned to the border. The Ninth, of which Lieutenant, B. O. Davis, former military attache of the American Legation at Monrovia, Liberia, after two days' hot march across the burning plains of Arizona, reached camp ready for the bloody expedition, which will preserve the honor of the American nation and vindicate the slaughter of innocent citizens. These black boys will give good account of themselves. Colored Officers in The Regular Army In the regular army there are three officers of the line and four regimental chaplains The line officers are Major Charles Young and First Lieutenant Benjamin O. Davis, of the 9th Cavalry, and First Lieutenant Chas. Green of the 25th Infantry. The regimental chaplains are Captain George W. Prioleau, 9th Cavalry; First Lieutenant W. W. Gladden, 24th Infantry; First Lieutenant O. J. W. Scott, 25th Infantry; First Lieutenant Louis A. Carter, 10th Cavalry. In addition to the above there are commissioned officers on the retired list as follows: Major W. T. Anderson, Major John R. Lynch and Captain G. T. Stewart. Major Anderson and Captain Stewart are chaplains Major John R. Lynch was a paymaster. Major Young is a graduate from West Point, and was in the class that graduated June 15th, 1884. Davis and Green came up from the ranks. Topeka, Kan.—Arthur Davenport, "white," married, an employee at the State Hospital, has been convicted by a jury composed of "white" men, in the district court, for seducing Thelma Grant, a 13 year-old girl of the race. The crime was committed at the asylum and other places, and a number of letters from Davenport to the little girl, in which he expressed his love for her, were read to the jury. On the stand and in the presence of his wife, he admitted that he loved the little girl and that he had sent her from the city to prevent her testifying in the case. Clyde B. Hayes has been awarded a verdict of $125 by the courts of Wayne County. Mich. against the white propriator of a restaurant who refused him service because of his color. Hachita, N. M., March 17. (Special) -The Tenth U. S. Cavalry, accompanied by the Seventh Cavalry, Battery B of the Sixth Field Artillery, and four companies of the Eleventh Infantry, a detachment of hospital and signal corps, moved across the border Wednesday. Two pack trains of sixty mules each, two auto truck trains and an automobile supply train followed. This entire column is under the command of Colonel Dodd. The infantry will hold the border, while the cavalry will attack. "God pity Villa if the Seventh and Tenth ever get with in sight of him," heartily exclaimed an officer at Camp Douglas, Ariz, today. When Douglas was in danger and Villista bullets rained in the city during the bandits' attack on Agua Prieta, the two American cavalry regiments "stood by" Douglas, and the warmest feeling prevails there for the troopers. Members of the Tenth, colored, frequently expressed a desire to go after "that Villa man." The Tenth is now reported to be in the vanguard of General Pershing's column. A number of troopers in both regiments have fallen victims to Villa snipers in the fighting around Agua Prieta. The squadron is expected by officers here to give a good account of itself when it catches up with Villa's band. Hachita, N M., Mar. 17. The Tenth Cavalry is patrolling the border. The men show their willingness to perform their duty and give their lives for their country. Everything is orderly. They patiently await the word to march and are anxious to be the ones to capture Villa. Major Young is with the battalion. The Ninth is hourly expected. Nothing but the hoofbeats of horses can be heard. One of the soldiers guarding a restaurant said that the only part he hated was that he was now protecting a place that refused to sell him food a few days previously. Waco, Ariz , March 14 - As a result of Villa's recent invasion of the American soil last Tuesday, General Fred A. Funston has given Brigadier General Pershing orders to cross the border. The American army is planning to strike from four points, one of which is Waco, where part of the famous Tenth Cavalry is stationed. The colored troops will play a major role in the proposed Mexican invasion. Several other colored regular regiments will also join the expedition. Robt. W. Speer for Mayor of Denver. His Charter Spells Negro Opportunity. Star Supports Best Man. IN TIMES LIKE THESE, GOO GIVE US MEN. Since our last issue another amendment, the non-partisan mayor-form has been filed naming Robert W. Speer as mayor. This plan combines two elections in one, while the Macey plan makes two elections necessary. There is some talk of filing still another amendment. The Negro must be careful when he chooses because in this non-partisan affair, he must at all times be loyal to his friends, protect their interests, so far as it is possible and practicable and advance his own welfare thru the same effort. Two lines of duty are always open, the part he individually plays and the part his friends play. Wherever there are certain entanglements appearing to encumber and embarass, the unfreed must himself strive, prepare and push himself. The path over which he must travel must be cleared of dangerous and unfair obstacles doubts and misgivings. Let his friends be as open and frank now as they will be after election, in other words, let them Step out of his sunlight. Negroes it will not do for you to sit idly and carelessly by, because you have a complicated and perplexing difficulty to face and not make some effort to remove the deterring obstructions. Why should we wait for orders before WE think and act for Ourselves, or wait until somebody tells us to FOLLOW certain men or certain things, when we know our own interest best? Will we never take our own initiative and use our own brains to think for ourselves is to have somebody else to do it? When any man has to think for you, he generally thinks of his own interests first. Yet on the other hand, the Negro is too wise in knowledge of the tremendous power of an organized society, as not to know, that our weak race cannot prevail against it, if that organized society is consciously and deliberately determined to oppose the Negroes' advance. In this non-partisan affair where the best business man regardless as to party must be elected, the Negro must look to himself and ask where does the danger lie. Does it lie in the Negroes' refusal to exert himself or does it lie in the obstacles which are deliberately or thoughtlessly put in his path or does it lie in treacherous leadership? Any fair minded Coloradoan will willingly and readily admit that the Negroes in this State have mentally improved themselves by reducing their illiteracy, have saved their money by thrift and accumulated wealth, have adopted the latest sanitary improvement methods for health and life and have reached a higher plane in citizenship and civic pride through self respect and self expression. That being true, why should we not only deserve but get our due recognition merited by our loyal profitable citizenship? Will the Negro be sate to trust himself now in the hands of the Speer mayoralty plan? Ex-mayor Speer's close and best friends who know him best and in whom we have the greatest confidence and respect, freely tell us that we have nothing to fear but everything to gain from him. All the persons now holding honorary, representative and lucrative jobs and positions would be retained. More Negroes will be put to work on the streets etc. Mayor Speer always keeps his word. He recognizes those who stick by him, his record as Mayor points that out. This time a new type of Negroes will support him and as courteous and fair treatment of them is expected of him, as he gave another kind and class of citizens who supported him before and were rewarded. The Star favors the mayor form with its charter because a clear, definite and positive power is given the mayor to handle all such offensive and obscene plays and unjust matters as the "Birth of the Nation" etc. It was largely through the efforts of Lawyers Townsend and Ross that such power was mentioned in the charter. Under the charter the city will be redistricted and our Five Points district can be made to yield a Negro Alderman. We favor the plan because our true and tried friends will probably be taken care of and in adopting this plan we would be helping them. Remember this is a non-partisan campaign and that Mayor Speer is a capable, resourceful business man fully capable to run the city right. Seduced 13-Year Girl Don't let anyone prejudice you against him. Let us settle our city affairs first, then WE will look after the State matters. Everybody knows that the Star is republican and for Allison Stocker but in this contest the Star is for the best man. If you walk up the streets the curbing cries out Speer, the builder; you chance down cherry creek and the boulevard sings his praises; you visit Cheesman park and Inspiration point murmurs gently Speer, the Inspirer; the street lamps light up Speer while the Auditorium stands as a monument to him, even city park will electrify you with the name of Speer in beautifully colored water; so it is all over the city, North, South, East and West Denver, each join in and glorify his triumph in making Denver, clean and the city beautiful, as well as, proudly progressive. Therefore roll up sleeves, line up for once and every body pull and help elect Mayor Speer. Play the game boldly and on the square If you work for nothing let the bosses KNOW IT NOW that you Expect To Get a job For your work and not money. You cannot get both job and money unless you cheat somebody. Let our slogan be, "Bob Speer, greater Den r suitable recognition and prosperity". Stick together and let commissioner Nisbet buy the whole Negro race for $ Denver Star DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1916 Negro Help. Their Opportunity to Make Good in Employment. Story of Ten Talents. With Europe ablaze and the nations of that continent calling home, through sentiment or duty, many thousands of their nationals. several avenues recently closed against the colored man are once more opening their various opportunities to his labors, just as we predicted when first the war began, that they would be forced to do. While our prediction has largely been verified the combined result is not all that we could desire. Especially is this so in the matter of waiting, or table attendance, a line which not a decade ago was almost wholly controlled by men of color. Of course the fad of having a foreign atmosphere largely influenced the displacing of colored at many of the hotels. But in many minor instances colored waiters have been displaced because of lack of promptness and politeness, two things very essential in well ordered dining rooms. The uncouth manners and disrespectful familiarity of quite a number of them have been in sharp and harmful contrast to the almost servile politeness of the foreign servitor. Undoubtedly many of them have mistaken the cry of equality of the races for that illogicality of equality of classes. If the colored waiter is to increase his popularity in New York or elsewhere (or even hold his present own) he must recognize the merits of, and necessity for, politeness and efficiency. And he must be prompt, efficient and polite, whether he receives the proverbial tip or no! Dissapointment on that score should in no way affect his services—if it does it affects the head waiter and eventually they are all displaced. He must also omit the circus gyrations in hours of employment. He should talk less, too, and attend more to business. He should be so prompt that if dining room doors are to be opened at 7 or 12 he should see to it that they are opened at 7 or 12. FIVE CENTS A COPY. And, above all, he should be honest and faithful in the execution of his duties and neat, tidy, with clean fingernails as well, remembering that the slightest error on his part will not only loose him his job, may even act to the detriment o. e entire race and to the permanent closing of that and other positions to colored workers. What is true of waiters is true of soda dispensers in Denver. The Young Negro must control this vocation in Denver. He can if he will do his full duty. The class of young Negroes who fill these positions is of our better class. The class of white boys are of the lower grade. We call up on our leading men and women to help create a healthy sentiment which will compel these young men to make good. We are reliably informed that a certain catering establishment will employ Negroes if they could get good ones. The Southern Pacific has put on Negro chefs and waiters. Salt Lake City has red caps now and Denver could have them if we had enough of the proper Negroes Don't you know now that Chief Healy wants and needs at once two eligibles for the fire department? How do we ever expect to even continue this department much less have another one, when our young men will not take the examination. Negroes get busy. Import good men. The Negroes ought to have two colored fire departments. The Brown Palace barber shop wanted a young man to take another's job and some five point young men were told and they "openly and boldly said that they did not want to work." Think of it. Men in this life either work, beg or steal. These hangers on ought to be jailed for vagrancy. The Star has no use tor no young healthy man who wont earn his own bread. Negroes Get busy and hold tast what we have and take advantage of the opportunities. Let us encourage young men to come here from the South. Mr. Harry Warwack has been drawn for grand jury duty and Mr. Fred Johnson for petit jury work in Montgomery County, Ohio. They are the first Negroes to appear on jury work in this county. Church News SHORTER CHAPEL. Washington and Twenty-third Sts REV. ROBT. L. POPE, B. D., PASTOR. Bishop J. Albert Johnson, D.

Association Recently Held Session at Detroit. FINE PROGRAM RENDERED President Prillerman of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute Attended Meeting and Visited Institutions of Learning—Success of E. C. Berry In the Hotel Business. President Byrd Prillerman has returned from Detroit, where he attended the recent meeting of the department of superintendence of the National Education association. He says that the attendance was the largest in the history of the association. There were more than 4,000 present, and President Shawkey, the efficient state superintendent of West Virginia, deserves great credit for bringing so many able educators together and for giving those in attendance such a well balanced program. Only two other colored teachers were present. They were Professor Frank Williams, principal of the Sumner high school, St. Louis, and Professor J. W. Hughes, principal of the school in East St. Louis, Ill. It would be a fine thing if more persons especially interested in Negro education would attend these national gatherings. While in Detroit Mr. Prillerman was the guest of Messrs. John and Cornelius Curtis. In company with these gentlemen he visited BYRD PRILLERMAN. the Ford automobile factory, where he was greatly impressed with Mr. Ford's system of education. From Detroit Mr. Prillerman went to Ann Arbor, Mich., to visit the state university. Here he found about fifty Negro students in attendance. Among them was Miss Phyllis Waters of Charleston, W. Va., who is a member of the junior class. He visited the Michigan Agricultural college at Lansing, where his son, Delbert McCullough, is a junior in the agricultural course. There were three other colored students in attendance, but none from the state of Michigan. He was treated with every courtesy by the president and professors of the institution and by invitation of the president spoke at a banquet given by the agricultural students. On his way back to Institute, W. Va., he stopped over a few days in Columbus, where he visited the Champion Avenue public school, of which Miss Maude Baker is principal. It will be remembered that this is the only school in Columbus especially for the education of Negro youth. It is an experiment in the section of Columbus where many of our people reside. Miss Baker is doing very efficient work as the principal of this school. Mr. Prillerman visited the Ohio State university, where he found some fifty colored students in attendance. Among these were eight from West Virginia. Four of the eight are graduates from the West Virginia College institute—D. L. Ferguson of Institute, O. A. Pierce of Fayetteville, Emmett Saunders of Eagle and John Johnson of Montgomery. Mr. Ferguson holds the mile record at the Ohio State university and has been selected as class orator for the commencement next June. Mr. Prillerman spoke to the colored students in a body at their special request. He also visited the Ohio university at Athens, where he found nine colored students in attendance. While in Athens he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Berry of the Berry hotel. It should be more widely known that the Berry hotel is owned and operated by E. C. Berry, a colored man who has risen from the ranks. This hotel is regarded as one of the best in southeastern Ohio. In operating this hotel Mr. Berry has proved two things that cause him to deserve national fame as a constructive and patriotic citizen. He has built and conducts his hotel without a saloon attached and without discriminating against the members of his own race. There is probably no other Negro in America who has done more single handed than has Mr. Berry in establishing and maintaining his hotel on high principles. Mr. Prillerman says that the Negro students have made a fine record in scholarship at all the institutions he visited, but he was impressed with the great lack of opportunity for moral and social training for Negro youth at these great universities.

Gentlemen: This is to sav to you that the remains of Dave Jordan have --- LET US HAVE FACTS. There have been numerous complaints against the alleged unfair treatment received by the school children of color in the Ebert, Whittier and Manual Training High School at the hands of the teachers in the several respective schools. The Star has made several inquiries but so far its efforts have been unsatisfactory, and it is for that reason we are calling upon the city federation of Colored clubwomen at its next meeting to appoint a committee to visit the schools, see the teachers, scholars and then the parents. Investigate conditions and report the same to the parent body. The Star only wants real facts, good or bad, no matter whom the truth hits, parent, child or teacher. Let us have the truth. If our boys and girls are too lazy, too stupid to study and properly prepare their lessons, we want to know it. If they are being allured from their studies by theatres, dances and the like, we want to know that. If our teachers are holding the Negro boy and girl unjustly back, through a prejudice, discriminating and Jim Crowing them through their records or encouraging race fights and confusion, especially after the Birth of a Nation has been shown here to the end that separate schools will be hastened, we want to know just the temperament of these teachers. Honorable Club ladies, we call upon you to assist the Star in running down the facts. There ought to be a standing school committee whose business it is to keep in constant touch with the schools by visiting them. Get busy ladies, will you? CITY NEWS. MARGARET WASHINGTON CLUB.

Of the twenty men registered for the course, sixteen were present. Other names have been added since that time, and it is likely that within two or three weeks at least thirty members will be enrolled. Mr. J. S. Temple, Assistant State Treasurer, is the leader. The class will meet every Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. One does not need to be a member of the Association to join the class. The Boy and Mother's Social which was held last Saturday night was a very enjoyable affair. Fully thirty-five boys brought their mothers. A very pleasant feature of the occasion was a brief sketch entitled "A Sad Discovery," which was rendered by five boys and two young women. The sketch was written by Prof. W. Henry Thomas, the New York Playwright, who is stopping for a short while in Denver. He drilled the young people and prompted them in the play. The joint public meeting of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. at Shorter's last Sunday afternoon was a great success. Nearly three hundred persons attended the meeting. Dean E. C. Peck, pastor of the City Temple Institutional Society and leader of the Hughes Training School for Girls, was the speaker. The audience was greatly pleased with the address, which was well received. The men's and boys' meeting will be held at the building next Sunday afternoon. The boys' meeting at 2:30 o'clock and the men's at 4. Rev. Dr. F. W.

Mrs. Lulu Pollard-Elliott entertained at her palatial home on 17th street last Thursday at a granite shower in honor of Miss Sallie Elbeck. The house was artistically decorated with blue and white as tasteful suggestions predominated by a high fruit basket, forming an attractive center piece on the table. During the afternoon instrumental selections were rendered by Mrs. H. Normon, Misses Nina Clinkscale and Mac Normon, vocal selections by Mrs Thos, Tisdale and Walter Gordonhire. An original poem was recited by Miss Mary Williams, the title being "Salt and Her Beau." Many valuable and useful presents were received. Those assisting were Mrs. H. Wilson, Winslow H. Eaton and H. Sweeney. The guest list included 30 friends. "P.A." Mrs. H. Eaton entertained in honor of her mother, Mrs. Chas. Jones (?) birthday last Tuesday. Mr. C. A many present. Brown of Denver was among the Mrs. J. P. Watson entertained in honor of Bishop J. Albert Johnson Tuesday at a handsomely appointed dinner. Covers were laid for ten. FIVE POINTS "TRUST BUSTER" AND GOOD ADVICE. The proprietor of the Welton St. fruit and vegetable store succeeded in demonstrating to the public that HF will run his own store, giving articles away if he so desires. The Meadow Gold butter people objected to him selling their butter for 35c a pound when he paid them 34c and therefore would not sell him as long as he charged 35c. He appealed to the district attorney's office and forced them to sell him. As a result his patrons get the benefit of his close selling. Hurrah for the Welton fruit man. We only wish we had more like him. By the way, the Star urges that the Negroes only spend their money in three grocery stores in Five Points which advertise with Negroes. There is our own O. W. Glenn, who has first class goods and sells as reasonable as any. Then there is the Five Points Meat Market and the Welton Fruit Store who spend their money with us. We in turn spend and divide our money among four at our office, who spend it with the churches and colored business places. But when you spend it with others who care nothing for your welfare we never get a chance at that money. Why not help us to help others? It costs you no more. Just ask your grocer if he advertises in A COLORED PAPER before you buy. See what great effect it will have. Emmett Williæms The Barber that made Denver famous in Barber Shops.

Founder and Director of island's Most Noted Musical Organization Retires From Much Coveted Position Upon Advice of His Physicians—Receives Flattering Eulogy From General Hall. By J. L. WALLER. Manila, P. I.-Major Walter H. Loving, for fourteen years director of the famous Philippines Constabulary band, which he organized in 1902, retired from his post in a blaze of glory here in January. He had only been back two weeks with his famous band from the San Francisco exposition. The ovation which he received at his last concert on the Luneta surpassed any similar demonstration even given to a retiring American official. Fully 20,000 people were crowded about the band stand to hear the last concert. When Major Loving appeared at the appointed hour, making his way through the dense crowd, a spontaneous cheer went up from the great throng, and the handclapping that followed was so prolonged that the concert was delayed for several minutes. Then for over an hour the crowd was entertained with one of the most enjoyable concerts on record. It was truly a popular concert in the sense that it was intended to please every one. There was classic music for those who revel in the classics and there were popular airs for those who love the lighter themes. A committee of Manilla's most prominent citizens had been busy for several days arranging some sort of press MAJOR WALTER H. LOVING. entation to Major Loving, and just before the last number was played Hon. Newton W. Gilbert, former vice governor of the Philippines, climbed up into the band stand. Standing there by Major Loving's side, Judge Gilbert spoke in behalf of the citizens of Manila, and the rousing cheers that his words brought from the crowd were ample proof of the high place held by Major Loving in the esteem of the people. A unique and handsome gold watch, appropriately inscribed, and a purse of gold were presented to Major Loving, while the crowd cheered. Lieutenant Navarro, who succeeds Major Loving as director of the band, presented his retiring chief on behalf of the eighty-five members of the band with a beautiful silver loving cup, inlaid with gold and specially inscribed for the occasion. There was a touch of pathos in the scene accompanying this presentation, for several of the musicians in the band stand were silently weeping during this intermission in the concert. After the presentation Major Loving faced his great band for the last time to direct the rendition of the time honored strains of "Auld Lang Syne." Just before the closing strains he stepped down from his place and handed over his baton to Lieutenant Navarro, the faithful assistant who had served under him for so many years. This little act of courtesy on the part of Major Loving brought forth the cheers of the crowd, which continued for some time after the music had ceased. After the concert Major Loving was the guest of honor at a dinner given by officers of the Philippines constabulary. General Hall, chief of the constabulary, was the principal speaker and delivered a flattering eulogy on Major Loving and his work in the constabulary. Major Loving's residence was besieged with guests, coming to bid him farewell. There were also several secreting parties of Filipino musicians in the throng. When Major Loving sailed away from pier 5 the full constabulary band was there to pay its last tribute to the departing chief. General Hall and other officers of the constabulary escorted Major Loving from his residence to the pier. Major Loving refreshes on account of impaired health. He was taken ill while leading his band at the San Francisco exposition. Since then he has apparently recovered and is the very picture of health, but his physicians advised him to take no further risks with the climate of the Philippines. He organized the Constabulary band in 1902, beginning with twenty men. In 1904, when the band had been ta creased to sixty men, it went to the St. Louis exposition and won high honors, carrying off the second prize. In 1909, with eighty-five pieces, it again went to the United States to attend the inauguration of President Taft. On the way to Washington it played in concerts in various cities and won the unstinted praise of the musical world. After the inauguration of President Taft the band went to Atlantic City and played a long engagement at Young's pier. In 1915, at the opening of the San Francisco exposition, it made its third trip to the United States, returning to Manila at the close of the exposition. It was the most popular band at the big fair and for this reason was selected to remain and officiate at the concluding concerts. No other single agency has done as much to advertise the Philippines and to give the outside world a proper conception of their people. This fact is fully appreciated by the Filipinos and has made Major Loving a hero among these far away islanders. The Constabulary band is inseparably linked with Major Loving's name. People from all over the world who have heard it play will always think of Major Loving, the directing genius who made it all possible. What he accomplished with the raw material at his disposal has been the marvel of the musical world for the past decade. As soloists his men are not equal to the great artists of Europe and America, but for ensemble effect his band has competed successfully with the greatest organizations in the world and has elicited high praise from Sousa and other famous leaders. The monumental labor attached to Major Loving's achievement is only appreciated by trained musicians, and it is fitting that a man of his own profession should speak the final word. Professor Ebenezer Cook, writing in the Manila Cablenews of Jan. 23, 1916, pays the following tribute to Major Loving's high efficiency as a musician and a leader of men: "The splendid recognition of the past services of Major Loving in the building up of the Constabulary band, which took place at his last Luneta concert, was but a spontaneous demonstration of the high estimation as a musician and a man which the Manila public holds of him. "The requirements necessary to achieve what he has accomplished are many. Often efficient conductors lack the tactful organizing ability necessary to build up an efficient organization like the Constabulary band and orchestra. I believe the Constabulary band is the only musical body in the world in which every man can officiate in both band and orchestra. "The amount of work on the part of the leader necessary to this accomplishment is little appreciated by the general public. A morning school for the strings was a feature, and this general education was really only begun. Every year, if this work is continued, will add to the efficiency of the organization, and it is to be hoped that under the new leadership it will be continued." As Major Loving is but forty-three years of age it is to be hoped that his retirement is only temporary and that he will not be permanently lost to the profession for which he has done so much and through which he has achieved a lasting and well merited fame. PARTOW POWELL'S SUCCESS. Rich Georgia Man Was Once Cabin Boy on Flint River Boats. One of the wealthiest farmers among the colored people of the south is Partow Powell of Albany, Ga. He owns 10,000 acres of land, so it is reported, and has on his various plantations ninety-nine tenant families. Mr. Powell works 100 mules and fifteen horses on his farm. He sold a consignment of cotton in 1915 which he held over from his 1914 crop for the smart sum of $35,000. Mr. Powell has held the government contract for improving the Flint river for the past twenty-four years. From a cabin boy on the boats engaged in dredging the Flint river he rose to the position of a contractor. Being a man of thrift and ambition, he saved his money and invested it in the rich farm and timber lands along the Flint river. This proved to be a wise and profitable business move, which brought good results, and he rapidly rose to prominence and wealth. Mr. Powell's estate is estimated to be over $300,000. It is well to call attention to the fact that this wonderful progress has been made in Georgia by a man of the Negro race in the midst of horrible lynching of members of his race, jimcrow laws and other intense forms of strife and race hatred. The late Booker T. Washington in his speeches and addresses often tried to impress the fact upon our people that the soil knows no color line. Mr. Powell's success is a striking illustration of the truth of Dr. Washington's statement. To Test Segregation Plan. The general belief seems to prevail among the rank and file of the more conservative citizens in St. Louis that the two race segregation ordinances passed at the February election held in St. Louis will be declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court should such a test be made by the leaders of the opposition. The colored people are planning to take the matter to the state supreme court at the earliest date possible. That the ordinances are in plain violation of the legal rights of a citizen to live in or use his property as he sees fit within the law is the opinion of many of the leading lawyers of St. Louis and vicinity.

Financial Campaign to Raise $250,000 Among the Colored People Toward a Sum to Perpetuate the Work of Dr. Booker T. Washington Is Meeting With Success. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Never has any movement among the colored people aroused so much interest and cooperation as has the campaign for the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. Everywhere there appears to be a growing sentiment that this is the one opportunity for the colored people to show how much they are willing to do for themselves. In their enthusiasm and loyalty some of the friends in their letters to Tuskegee have said that they regard it as a responsibility they owe to the race to contribute to this fund. In a letter one friend says, "The white people of the country, north and south, are eagerly watching to see what the colored people are going to do to help perpetuate the work founded by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and they will give in proportion as the colored people themselves give." At a special meeting of some of the trustees of the Tuskegee institute held in New York city recently Secretary Emmett J. Scott presented letters from men and women of the race prominent in church, in fraternal organizations and in business and read editorial comments from many of the colored papers pledging support to the campaign. The trustees were deeply impressed by the spirit of love and appreciation for Dr. Washington which prompted the sentiments of these loyal friends. A letter typical of this sentiment has been received from Bishop George W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Zion church. Bishop Clinton in part says "First, I hereby pledge $100; second. I shall do all in my power to encourage my friends and the ministers and churches of the Fourth Episcopal district to contribute and shall lend my heartiest support to the campaign in whatever way I can; third, I have in mind a proposition to suggest a Booker T. Washington night at our New Jersey conference, which is to be held at Camden in April, and at our general conference, which is to be held in Louisville, Ky., in May, and I also suggest that April 5, the date recently discovered to be the anniversary of Dr. Washington's birth, be set aside by our people as a special occasion to contribute to the cause of Negro education and to make a special donation for the support of the work at Tuskegee institute." Fraternal organizations are likewise taking active steps, through their executive heads, to organize subsidiary campaigns among their own members and otherwise co-operating with Mr. Scott. Mr. C. N. McDaniels, state grand secretary of the Alabama jurisdiction of the Masonic lodge, has written as follows: "I wish to say in reply that I immediately took the matter up with State Grand Master W. T. Woods of Mobile, asking him to name the first monthly communication in May of each subordinate lodge in the state as memorial day for Dr. Washington and that I be allowed to issue a circular informing them of the grand master's request and calling upon the lodges to contribute on this day to the fund, sending same direct to Mr. Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee institute." A similar circular has been prepared by State Grand Master Andrew W. Dungey of Lansing, Mich., and will be sent to members of the Masonic fraternity of the state of Michigan. "I shall issue a direct appeal to all the lodges in the jurisdiction asking them to contribute to the fund as liberally as they possibly can." writes Mr. Dun- New Orchestra [COLORED] Up-to-date Music and Hai mony furnished for all occasions.

Thus with fraternal organizations, churches and newspapers all working in harmony for its success, the campaign is shaping itself for a vigorous effort to raise the $250,000 as the colored people's part of the memorial fund. Women's Clubs Plan For Meeting. The various clubs forming the Empire State Federation of Women's clubs are beginning to consider plans for sending large delegations from their number to the annual meeting of the general body to be held at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., the first week in July. Mrs. M. C. Lawton of Brooklyn is president of the State Federation. eele Mrs. J E DENVER MORTUA Service at Carriage H DEFENDERS OF THE FLAG. How the Colored Troops Fought In Battle of Port Hudson. Under the heading, "The Reason Why," J. P. Prickett, writing of the valor of the colored soldiers just before the assault on Port Hudson, says: "The assault on Port Hudson was pending. It was to test the fitness of the colored race for freedom. The white colonel of the colored regiment called the colored standard bearer to him and implored him not to dishonor the flag and bring reproach upon his race by being recreant to duty. This lowly representative of a despised people replied, 'I'll bring these colors back with honor or report to God the reason why.'" The above is followed by a poem, which in part is as follows: There, like ebon statues in the starlight, Prayed that God might fill with patriot zeal each darkened soul and light In each lowly breast a bright pathway to freedom's new birthright; That these newborn sons of freedom, in whose swelling hearts and breasts Burned the memories of centuries of bondage and of wrong. Over yonder in the moonlight floated out the stars and bars. Here the black brigade in silence stood beneath the stripes and stars. Over there were trained artillery men asleep by silent guns; Here were loyal hearts in swelling breasts of freedom's newborn sons. Raised from chattelhood to manhood by the stroke of patrol pen. Wonderfully and sometimes doubted loyal hearts looked on to see. If these slaves and serfs and chattels, lifted to the plane of men. In the shock of strife and battle won their right to liberty. *Yes, I'll bring it back in honor, bear it bravely in the right* Or beyond the mystic river tell to God the reason why." 'Twas a horrid day of slaughter, and the crush of shot and shell Told me that they were battling for the cause they loved so well. A shout, a cheer, a wild assault—and then the stripes and stars Floated proudly from the ramparts where had waved the stars and bars. Bravely fought the dusky black brigade; in blood had rent the chains; Chains of slavery from a fettered race, and where in blood they'd trod Lay in death the color bearer. His life's blood the banner stains. Ah, beyond the silent river he's reporting now to God. SLATTER IN SANITARIUM. Well Known Newspaper Man Confined to Asheville Institution. Asheville, N. C.-Horace D. Slatter, well known newspaper correspondent, is confined in the Walker sanitarium here, continuing his brave fight against tuberculosis. His physician, Dr. J. W. Walker, states that Mr. Slatter's chances for recovery are very good. The brave fight which Mr. Slatter has made against the white plague has attracted considerable attention throughout the country. Through Mr. William H. Holtzclaw, a lifelong friend, principal of the Utica institute, Utica, Miss., a sum of money was raised out cast for his benefit, to which efforts the Birmingham News, leading daily newspaper of Birmingham, Ala., joined. Through these efforts the sufferer was able to go to Asheville. Mr. Slatter was stricken with tuberculosis early in June, 1915. His wife, who had been a sufferer from the malady for nearly two years, died in October, and since that time he has been trying to work and take care of himself at the same time. During the past fifteen years Horace D. Slatter has been of immense service to his people as a correspondent for daily newspapers, serving them at all times by publishing those things that would make sentiment for his race. His stay at the Walker sanitarium will depend largely upon his raising $10 a week, which he must do from his sickbed. New Officials of Odd Fellows Hall.
