C. M. E. CONFERENCE AT BEBEE Protest Mistreatment of 24th Inf. SECRETARY OF WAR'S ATTENTION CALLED TO MISTREATMENT OF 24TH U. S. INFANTRY IN GEORGIA Inquiring into "frequent charges" of mistreatment of colored members of the 24th United States Infantry, stationed at Camp Benning, Ga., and asserring that the charges are such as to warrant congressional investigation, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has made public a letter to the secretary of war asking for a statement from the war department. The letter asks that the war department state whether it is true that the colored regiment has been deprived of its arms in a community that resents the presence of colored men in United States uniform; whether the regiment has been deprived of its own colonel and placed in command of one with a bad record of brutality; whether the war department counterfees advice from commanding officers to colored soldiers that they permit themselves to be called "damm niggers" and remember first of all that they are colored? The Advancement Association's letter, which is signed by the chairman of the board of directors, Mary White Ovington, is as follows: MUSICAL FESTIVAL, REPEATED TUESDAY NIGHT AT ANTIOCH, FOR DORCAS HOME, IS PRONOUNCED BEST IN CITY'S HISTORY MUSICAL FESTIVAL, REPEATED TUESDAY NIGHT AT ANTIOCH, FOR DORCAS HOME, IS PRONOUNCED BEST IN CITY'S HISTORY VOL.

Whether this fact is a contributing factor, and served to inspire the participants, we are unable to say, but the fact they offer us as those who were truly inspired. To single out any particular person or number for special mention is too great a task, as soprano, contralto, baritone, and harpist, to really excel to their own best efforts. If such can be possible. The writer once heard a noted lecturer, speaking on us subject. The subject was the importance of the Accompaniment to make a reward, which we had formally reminded of this during the entire program, and our conclusion was the generation of wonderful singers, while the generation of marvelous ability, an artist in the particular line—Mrs. P.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1922 C. M. E. CONFERENCE HOST THE STATE OF NEW YORK Perhaps no colored newspaper in Texas was ever in greater demand than last week's issue of The Houston Informer, for the management was unable to supply the demand. The original edition, printed weekly on Thursday, was sold out in its entirety by Friday night, despite the fact that several thousand extra copies were printed last week. So insistent were certain persons in this community for additional copies of that particular issue--that another edition was run off Saturday morning and by night every copy of that edition was sold. Then requests began to flow into the office for a pre-election edition of The Informer for Monday and even Sunday similar suggestions were made, with the result that a special or extra edition of The Informer appeared on the streets of the city Monday, and notwithstanding 5,000 copies were printed, they had all been raked in by night. Three editions of a colored newspaper in five days is certainly a new record for this part of the country and the manner in which these papers were sought and bought by the public, especially the people when the people want political news and editorial thought in a hot content or campaign, where the interests of all the people are involved, in Houston, it is The Houston Informer which "gets you told—nothing else." Moral- Subscript for The Informer and read it weekly, for FAMOUS SINGER AT ST. JOHN; YWCA BENEFTI FAMOUS SINGER AT ST.

This celebrated drama is that becoming one of America's leading male readers and imperators, and thrilled thousands throughout the country. Prof. Phillips is open for engagements, as he expects to be in this section of the country for several weeks. It contains something each week of moment and concern to the people. Its news service is all the cover, covering all fields, and its editorials on men, measures and issues take front rank among the leading publications of America. In Houston, Texas and the South, it's The Inform $175 FOR BEING PYTHIAN ONE DAY As proof that it pays to carry insurance and protection in strong insurance companies and solvent fraternal orders, was demonstrated most forcibly in the recent death of Dan Thomas. Mr. Thomas was initiated as a member of Stark Memorial Lodge No. 411, Colored Knights of Pythas of Texas, last Saturday night, November 4. While engaged at his work Sunday, November 5, he was the victim of an accident and was so badly scaled that he died Monday. November 6. Despite his brief Pythas contract and old order will pay his beneficiaries a full year's claim ($100) and his funeral expense of $75, making a grand total of $175, notwithstanding the fact that he had hardly recovered from his "leap" when death overtook him. Not only is the Pythian fraternity, under the matchless leadership of Grand Chancellor W. S. Willis of Waco, giving succe and comfort to the distressed and bereaved and rendering assistance to the beneficiaries of deceased members, but the order has adopted and is pursuing the worthy causes and institutions among our people, their intent act being a $1,200 loan to the New Hope Baptist Church at Waco, Texas. "The boys" are unimaginable in their verdict that it pays and pays well to be a Pythian. Hon. J. B. Grigacy, president of the American Mutual Benefit Association, and Prof. N. Dudley, vice president and general manager, visited Beauregard Cochin Bimmares speak on Negron day at the Booth Texas State fish. BISHOP MARTIN PRESIDES AT ANNUAL CONFERENCE; MANY DIGNATARIES HERE The thirty-seventh annual conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church is in session at Bebee Tabernacle C. M. E. Church, San Felipe and Arthur Streets. Several delegates and visitors are in attendance and much constructive work is being accomplished. The Right Reverend J. C. Martin of Jackson, Tenn., bishop of the diocese, is presiding. The public program Wednesday night was one of the best affairs of its kind in church annals here. Addresses of welcome were delivered by some of the leading ministers, laymen, business and professional men of the city. A banquet was served after the program. Attorney L. V. Allen was master of ceremonies. Pastor R. C. Mark and his congregation are taking care of the conference in fine style.

HIGHEST TRIBUNAL OPPOSED BY COLORED SOCIETY SEN. SHIELD'S APPOINTMENT TO U. S. HIGHEST TRIBUNAL OPPOSED BY COLORED SOCIETY New York City.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has made public a protest to President Harding against the proposed appointment to the Supreme Court of Senator John K. Shields of Tennessee. The protest is based upon remarks alleged to have been made by Senator Shields, disclosing gross prejudice against the Negro race such as would unfit him for the office of Supreme Court justice. The protest to President Harding is as follows: "The rumor that Senator John K. Shields of Tennessee might be filled in with the United States Supreme Court is seriously disregarding those American who have white and colored whose hope is in better relations between the races in this country. "Senator Shields is charged by Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch with having given utterance to sentiments that clearly indicate his unfertility and the failure to judge justice, as indeed, they are unworthy of a United States senator. "In the New York Call of October 22, Senator Shields is quoted by Mrs. Blatch as being opposed to giving the ballot to 'nigger women' and as stating: 'You see, we couldn't treat the wanes as we do the men.' This is not a reasonable point, as it is almost unnecessary to point out that a confessed violator of the United States constitution and one who speaks of its violation in terms of ruffly approval, could only increase disrespect for law and government in the United States Supreme Court, as he has already done." "The National Association deems it duty to call these facts most respectfully to your attention.

The gaint specter of death aloed clambered into the cockpit of the frail machine, and her final try as a pupil would be her last.

Self-easel mla in the life of eternity is a very wholesome and safe thing to do, even though to many it is a forgreat art these days. The Lord will look before us, how it will look before men, how it will appear in the hour of death, and the presence of the Lord Every day of judgment, the light of eternity, and the presence of the Lord Every day of day, even our religious professions; for "except the Lord light of day, even our religious build it."

The story is told of a certain captain who, escaping to enter the harbor to retrieve the ship, and ignorant of the danger involved, was allowing his vessel to drift into the water, and not to handle the bont when the storm broke. The pilot, who was assigned to the captain, was the captain, and pointed out that he was endangering the vessel and the lives of the crew. He was called to call all the soldiers forward. As soon as they were gathered together "Men, it is either deep water or death." I would leave the pilot's sharp gernish with you.

"Well," he said after he was back in Fairyland where all the Gnomes and Brewers and Dudes were, "I put on my invariable robe today and went for a walk. I am a more interesting walk. That is, be added, I thoroughly enjoyed it." "We'd like to bear about it," said the Fairyland supper, having a good appetites, for the air was brisk and cold. "I met Fly-High, the Elver' bird, you know." Of course, all the Fairyland people knew Fly-High. "Fly-High might me if I'd like to take a little trip upon his back."

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1922. VOTERS SPOKE AT TUESDAY'S ELECTION VOTERS SPOKE AT TUESDAY'S ELECTION Several surprises were sprung in the general election held throughout the country on last Tuesday, the republican party meeting many reverses in several of the doubtful and pivotal states in their congressional, senatorial and gubernatorial races. Many of the Harding adherents and supporters, up for re-election, met defeat at the hands of their democratic opponents, and at the hour of this editorial's composition several races are still undecided and a recount may be necessary in not a few states. If the presidential election of 1920 was a "silent referendum" on the part the Wilson administration played at the league of nations and a rebuke to the democratic leaders, then truly the 1922 congressional, senatorial and gubernatorial results are an indication that the Harding administration is in public disfavor. To the republicans the election was a keen and bitter disappointment, while to the democrats the results were indeed gratifying and re-assuring. In the Texas senatorial race the expected happening, the klan candidate completely annihilating his anti-klan opponent. The Texas republicans and independent democrats made a miserable showing, while the tabulation of the vote at hour of going to press reveals the sad fact that the people of Texas did not vote an anticipated. The Peddy forces endeavored to conduct a campaign of injunctions rather than education and thus failed to arouse any appreciable enthusiasm for their senatorial aspirant. Neither the republicans nor independent democrats made any concerted effort to secure the colored vote, and thus the black man took only passing notice of the grand political parade. The defeat of the $6,000,000 road bond issue in Harris County shows that dinner clubs and luncheon committees are efficient, but not sufficient to put over big programs. Then, too, the issue was presented at an inopportune time and no campaign of education was conducted by its proponents, while the opponents lost sight of no opportunity to urge swapping of the bond issue and smashing of the court house machine. Well, the election is over and here's hoping that all past differences will be buried and all forces unite and labor for a greater and grander Houston. THE HOUSTON INFORMER. SATURDAY. NOV. 11. 1922 MAKING EXAMPLE OUT OF PROBLEM A recent issue of McClure's Magazine carried an article from the pen of a Southern white woman, in which she discussed at length the efforts and activities of the colored and white races in the South to adjust differences and seek after racial amity through the instrumentality of the Inter-Racial Commission. This article, coming on the heels of the report and findings of the Chicago Commission on Race Relations, is not only a remarkable journalistic composition, but it demonstrates the fact that even in the South there are good and big-hearted white men and women who are willing to roll up their sleeves and put forth honest efforts to render and maintain conditions better, both inter-racially and intra-racially. If Chicago found it necessary and imperative to study race relations, then truly the South—with a large colored population, and, in many instances, with both a white and colored population far more ignorant, prejudicial, lawless and vicious than the average of both races found in the North—needs to devote both its time and means to studying race relations, to the end that both races can live side by side with the least amount of friction. In several Southern states an earnest effort is being made through the Inter-Racial Commission to bring about better feelings and relations between the two races, and The Informer deploys the fact that Texas is doing practically nothing in this respect. The purpose of the Inter-Racial Commission seems to be misunderstood by some of our white friends in Texas, for in some instances when the colored members began to make recommendations to the white members lost interest and the committee has ceased to function. Some seem to be of the opinion that the intent of the commission is to employ the colored members as lackeys, pimps, stoolpigens and informants; to keep the whites posted on what the colored people are doing and to even run down criminals and to serve generally in the "Uncle Tom" role. It is also to be effective, the members must meet and discuss their problems as men—sensibly, sandy, intelligently, without bias, hatred or prejudice. Only big-hearted white men and women can be of any beneficial service on these committees, for narrow-minded, bigoted, arrogant, haughty and stiff members are as certain to throw a monkey-wrench into the machinery as day is to follow night. The Chicago Commission has rendered a signal and noteworthy service to the community and nation, but unless their recommendations are executed, all their labor of three years will be of no avail and the situation will be intensified rather than remedied. The commission has also shown that America to bring Chicago to its senses and show the urgent need of studying the relations between the two races, why not study the black man in Houston and other American cities, especially of the South, and thus prevent such domestic disorders and internal conflicts? There are upwards of 45,000 colored people residing in Houston and other cities, yet the majority of them live, or rather exist, amidst conditions that are calculated to work detrimentally upon the community in the near future, yet despite this no effort is being made to study this situation and recommend and carry out a program that will relieve the situation and convert all of these liabilities to assets. Like the ostrich, we are simply hiding our head in the sand, lacking the influences and practices that are both destructive and obstructive. Closing one's eyes and refusing to look at a situation does not remove the situation nor lessen the cause for its effect for good or evil upon the community and society, and the sooner the South is made aware of the problem, the better it will be for this section and our common country. Too long have we been straining at a gat and trying to swallow a camel and as a result Dixie is now suffering with an acute attack or chronic case of indigestion. No inter-racial movement can be introduction and make progress where the conditions are are not only enduring the inter-racial movement, but in some instances these gubernatorial chieftains are taking a leading and active part in the program of race relations and racial amity, and these particular states are becoming safer and more secure for the members of both races. The article referred to should be read by all people interested in the inter-racial movement, and by the student and career obtained, it ceases to be a problem and becomes an example. If the black man is still a problem in the South, it is because those in authority have failed or refused to study and work out their arithmetic and transform the problem into an example in the curriculum of inter-racial relations. The black man from a problem to an example? DR. L. K. WILLIAMS OUR CHOICE! Since the death of Dr. E. C. Morris, for over a quarter of a century president of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, there has been much talk of the proper and suitable successor to this lamented religious leader. Several "favorite sons" have been treated out by the various states and sections and even some "dark horses" are being groomed in the denominational stables and a lively race for office is anticipated when the Baptist hosts meet in their postponed annual convention in St. Louis next month. The Informer is not a religious paper nor denominational organ; but it is a race medium, and as such is intensely interested and concerned with the needs of the church that seek to alleviate the ills of our race and render and maintain our contingent an asset to the social family. The Baptist denomination, among our people, is perhaps the largest and strongest religious body in this country, at least numerically; and for that reason a big man should and must be selected to lead these forces of the church militant. The late Dr. Morris, the Baptist hosts are still wandering in the wilderness and it requires the services of a leader of no mean ability to direct and lead these forces into the land of promise and a better and brighter day. To The Informer's way of thinking, Dr. Lacey Kirk Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Illinois, fits the bill to a nictice and is the logical successor to Dr. Morris; not that he in the past was the logical successor of that but the wonderful executive and organizing ability his innate qualities of SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER is unable to open his mouth.

I thank you. leadership, his faithfulness and loyalty to the church and cause, and his unparalleled and unprecedented accomplishments and achievements as a pastor, preacher, builder and born leader of men. ABOLITION OF SAN FELIPE JITNEYS. ABOLITION OF SAN FELIPE JITNEYS. The action of the city council of Houston in abolishing with one fell swoop the San Felipe jitney line, while only reducing the number of autos on the white lines, is class legislation of the grousestype and shows the sad and impotent plight of the man or race without a vote. To say that politics influenced such high-handed official dictum can be hardly considered as an exaggeration or mis-statement of facts. If the colored citizens of Houston participated in the mayoralty elections, no such summary action would have been taken; and the fictitious monetary position was assumed by the municipal administration should convince the most unsophisticated that a man or race without a vote is between the devil and the deep blue sea. The traction situation has reached such a stage that the city fathers concluded that it was necessary to reduce the jitney line, why did they not pursue their policy as originally announced of reducing cars on all lines? Why make the San Felipe jitney line, operated almost, if not entirely, by colored citizens and taxpayers, the goat goat? Why did they not pursue their policy as originally announced of reducing cars on all lines? Why make the San Felipe jitney line, operated almost, if not entirely, by colored citizens and taxpayers, the goat goat? Why did they not pursue their policy as originally announced of reducing cars on all lines? Was this colored line selected because its organization is functioning poorly and consequently unable to wage a legal battle against the dictum on the ground that it is discriminatory, confounding the city government? Why is the city council going the least of heat resistance by making this weak and well-nigh helpless line the victim of designing politics? Was it a bid for favors or support from certain sources on the part of city officials who have announced for office to succeed themselves? While, primarily, it is a blow directed against the colored line, it was also a slap and insult hurled at the entire colored citizenry and may prove a boomerang. The colored race in Houston will always serve in the goat role until the day arrives when the electors of color can march to the city commissioner. Until that day arrives the colored line will be compelled to live in mud in "heavenly (?) Houston," but verily his name is and will be "mud." HEALTH, HYGIENE AND SANITATION By DR. T. M. SHADOWEN, M. D. Oilfate 418% Twelve, Phone Proton 800 TETANUS Tetanus is an acute or subacute disease, caused by the tetanus bacillus. The hospital records show, and it has been my experience as a practitioner, that the most of these conditions come from the foot in the back in the pine woods of East Texas, where I was born and reared. Whenever anyone had the mifortune to stick a nail in his or her foot, the nail was immediately drawn from the plank or the material to which it was attached. Then put over the front door or driven in a tree. The wound was then greened with fat bacon and dressed with the same meat over the wound. This was said to prevent any dan perous after effects. I'm surprised to know that the same treatment is carved into the foot in Houston. Allow me to tell you which is now under my treatment. A man two or three weeks ago, had a nail punctured wound in the foot. The nail went through an old shoe which had no doubt been exposed to the water. He simply carried out the East Turtle with one exception. He drove the nail into the gate post instead of a tree. He now has one of the most dangerous diseases known to medical science - Tetanus, or "ock-worm". The muscle part of the neck are stiff and taut.
