Farmer in the Chicago Conservator in telling about the rendition of Hiawata by the Choral Study Club, has the following to say about Mr. Holt: But the surprise of the evening was Mr. George Holt, modest and unassuming in manner, but a revelation in song. It did not require a very vivid imagination to make one picture himself in an opera house listening to grand opera, the singer one of Italy's favorite tenors, and on suddenly recalling one's self and the wonderful Italian tenor, George Holt, a colored man, singing away with as much ease as though singing in Italian the language of song instead of cold, unsympathetic English. To Prof. Tinley cannot be given too much praise for his indefatigable effort in creating and holding such an aggregation of earnest singers together so devoted to art that though many of them have more than local reputations yet modestly singing in chorus; thus showing magnificent balance and self-control.

On next Thursday the voters of Des Moines will be asked to express their choice on doing away with the present form of city government, viz; (that of a representative republican) and inaugurate the commission plan similar to the plan now in use in Galveston, Texas; where a commission of six men are elected and to manage and perform all duties for the entire city. While we favor some things in the new plan, yet there are so many bad or untried features in the new bill that we think it might be a dangerous step to take. One main point is it lessens the control of the entire city affairs into the hands of a few men, only three men can dictate the entire course of our city. Then it takes away the representative part of the Republican form, and the six commissioners could be selected from one ward or one part of the city, hence the balance of the city would not have a man on the commission. If you have read history you knew that our forefathers fought, bled and died to give us the right of a free government, equally distributed and represented, and to lose or give up one of those ancient land-marks of human rights is a last step to Monarchialism, which may be hard to regain. Then again the civil service or merit feature of the new plan is as much of a farce as our present police civil service commission. We are not at all defending the present bad administration of our city affairs but we do maintain that the fault is not so much in our form of government as it is the class of men who operate the form. In fact any system of government is all right if we could get good honest, high-minded christian men who would do right in office. Commencement Week at Iowa City a Success. The month of June brings joy to the homes and parent of more American people and equally more joy and happiness to the young boy or girl who pass all the quiz and final examination and can say I took the test and passed. In most cases it has been a struggle either on the part of parents or the student, and to the visitor it is a great sight to see such unity of spirit, such unanimous enthusiasm, such high-minded Christian young men and women who are soon to enter on the great stage of human activities. It is indeed sublime and inspiring; words are inadequate for one to really express the real feeling until you can come and see. At the Iowa State University there was gathered more than 3,000 University Alumni student and friends. Wednesday morning was commencement day and fully 4,000 people packed the new Armory to hear Secretary Wm. H. Taft of the War department and to witness the graduation of more than 300 students, and among that number I was proud to witness three colored young men, exceedingly good for Iowa, and the beauty each was in different courses. In class 1st, Liberal-Arts, was Lawrence C. Jones of St. Joseph, Mo.; then in the Medical department was Edward A. Carter of Buxton, and last was Edward W. Thompson in the Pharmacy department. Each one they tell me reflect much credit in their respective classes. Our race and the University are expecting much from those young men. PAUL LAURANCE DUNBAR Was the world's greatest Neo poet.

Among the three hundred or more graduates who will be awarded diplomas at the state university this week are three young men who hold a unique place—two of them will be the first negroes to receive degrees from the university school of medicine and pharmacy, and two of them will be the awarded the degree of bachelor of arts by the college of liberal arts. Lawrence C. Jones, Edward A. Carter, and Robert A. Cox are the names of the three young men. The problem of getting an education was a serious one with all of them, and required of them many ordinary determination and努力. Especially interesting is the story of Edward A. Carter, who will receive the degree of M. D. Heckler, Chieletteville, Va., in 1811, the sixth child of a family of twelve He came with his family to Munchaknoot, In. in 1812, while a babe, and his father began he began to school. He began to go to school when he was 7 years old and when he was 18 To all local Afro-American Councils and affiliated organizations, including Negro churches, clubs, literary and other societies in the State of Iowa. Greeting:— You are hereby notified that the sixth annual session of the Iowa State Afro-American Council will be held at M. Pauls A. M. E. church at Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday July 4th, all day and evening. An exceptionally strong program has been prepared, embracing papers, addresses and discussions of every conceivable phase of the Negro question by prominent men and women from various sections of the state, and it is earnestly desired that every race organization in the state be represented by at least one delegate as the indications are this is to be largest and best meeting yet held by the State Council. The burning question of disfranchisement which began in the South and is gradually spreading toward the North, the effort on the part of great and powerful enemies of the race to multiply public sentiment against us; the increased tendency to lynching and lawless outbreaks against our people, such as the Atlanta riots, and the use of explosives in blowing up the homes and destroying the lives of our people without due process of law, the summary discharge without honor of colored soldiers from the United States service, the bold agitation in church and state to destroy the fundamental principles of the Declaration of Independence, coupled with the increased hardships that are heaped upon the common mass as well as the educated and professional classes of our people, make it necessary that every true lower of American liberty should give heed and substantial support to such meetings. The convention will also vote on the following proposed amendment: Article V of the Constitution is hereby amended so as to read as follows: "Art. V. The State Council shall be composed of delegates from local councils and affiliated delegates representing organizations of similar plans and purposes co-operating with the National Afro-American Council such as churches, Literary and other Societies." Mrs. Lelia Sheffey-Taylor, Secretary, Buxton, Iowa. Rev H. McCraven, Chairman of Executive Committee, Des Moines. Teter, Salt Rheum and Eczema Are cured by Chamberlain's Salve. One application relieves the itching and burning sensation. LAWRENCE C. JONES. Who receives degree of A. B. He received a common school diploma. Determined to go still further in an educational way, the boy worked in the mines that summer and with the money saved equipped himself to enter the Oskaloosa High school. He worked for his board and lodging for two years while in school, and except for one year, he walked five miles every day. He was Patrons' day orator in his senior year and was graduated with honor in 1897. In 1899 he entered the college of liberal arts at the university, supporting himself while in the university and contributing his summer's wages to the support of his father's large family. He received the degree of B.Ph., in 1908, and entered the college of medicine in the fall of the same year. Though compelled to work his way through, he ranked well in his classes. His summers were spent in coal mines, until a year ago, when he was given a place in the office of Dr. J. B. Henderson, surgeon for the Chicago & Northwestern railway at Burton, In. When he receives his degree today, he will be the first negro to be thus honored by the medical school. MRS. S. JOE BROWN, Of Des Moines who will preside over Of Des Moines who will preside over the Convention. The first annual session of the Des Moines District Sunday School Convention and Normal Institute will convene at Albia on Thursday morning of next week and will remain in session for two days and evenings. As is perhaps already known to many of the readers of the Bystander, the last session of the Iowa Annual Conference divided what has heretofore been known as the Iowa District of the A. M. E. church into what will hereafter be known as the Keoku District and the Des Moines District, and as the late Miss Lydia Bartlett of Mt. Pleasant who was the superintendent of the Iowa District was thereby placed in the new Keoku District. Mrs. S. Joe Brown of Des Moines, who was at the time superintendent of what was then known as the Des Moines sub-district and who had previously and very successfully served for two terms as superintendent of the old Iowa District, was appointed superintendent of the new Des Moines District and in that capacity will preside over the convention to be held in Albia next week. A very excellent program has been arranged including papers and discussion on the various phases of Sunday School work by prominent S. S workers from the different sections of the District and many have already expressed their invitation of being present. The entire forenoon of the second day's program will be devoted to lectures and round tables conducted the members of the faculty of the faculty of the District Normal Institute. At the closing session on Friday evening the diplomas of the District Institute will be presented to those who have successfully completed the year's work in the Normal course; and from all indications this will be one of the best conventions yet held in the state. He wants careful and experienced men and a large and commodious wagon that can take his goods at one load, thus cutting the expense in two. That tells the story of the "VEE TRANSFER CO." 409 Eighth Street, whose wagons are largest and best, being built under their own specifications and especially designed for the delivery of household goods. You always get a large wagon and experienced men when you EDWARD W. THOMPSON, Who graduates in pharmacy. Lawrence C. Jones was born in St. Joseph, Mo., in 1884. He finished the grammar school of that city, but recured his high school training in Marshalltown, In., where he graduated in 1904. He entered the college of the arts of the university and when he receives the degree of A. B. he will be the second negro thus honored. B. Joe Brown of Des Moines was the first negro in graduation. Edward W. Thompson, a brother of J. L. Thompson of Des Moines, was born on a farm near Decatur. He graduated from the University of Iowa and he attended Drake university one term and in 1871 he was assistant clerk in the Iowa, the state's first newspaper and was first a reporter and then city editor of the Chicago Conservative, the oldest negro newspaper in the country. He was employed for a time with the Chamberlain Medicine company, and then, in 1874, he was the first neuro to graduate from the university pharmacy school. Mr. Henry Yancy of 812 West Twelfth street, after a brief illness died Thursday morning, June 13th at 11 o'clock, age 42. He was a faithful member of the Corinthian Baptist church and of the David and Jonathan League. Few men had a more hopeful future; he was a good husband and a good citizen. He leaves a wife, one brother and a sister to mourn his death. He will be buried from Corinthian Baptist church, Sunday afternoon. What Others Say of the Iowa State Bystander. Sandford, N. C, June 4-Mr. J. B Rush: My dear friend: I found in the special illustrated issue of the Bystander your cut accompanied by an article from your pen on Negro Lawyers, the article was well written. I am very proud of what you said in it. I think the Bystander is one of the very best papers published in the United States, and I do not limit or qualify my assertion. I am taking a goodly number of newspapers both weekly and dailies and I make no exception when I say the Bystander is second to none. Wours, H. H.

Mr. Morton has been a resident of Keokuk for many years, for more than twenty years he was a faithful employ of the Wabash Railroad and was always courteous and obliging to the travelling public for which he made many friends who will be pained to know that he has been called away; his death was due to brain trouble.

A brain storm may be only an unusual member of "thought vibrations" converging into a vortex. San Diego has disbanded its army. In other words, the government told that man he might go home and raise bananas. A Connecticut fisherman claims to have seen a red-headed devil-shirt which stood on its tail and hissed at him. Too much bait. A Chicago University professor thinks that "Americans are too blood-thirsty." Move to amend by excerpting the word "blood." Dr. Philpitt says there are more good wives than good husbands, but maybe he is only judging by the volume of conversation. To think of their calling that poor Spanish prince "Alfonso Pio Cristiano Eduardo!" The boys will probably call him Pí, for short! If German scientists have really discovered a cure for tuberculosis the rest of the world will applaud their deliberate methods of study. Grandfather Gould may have thought tennis frivolous beside money-making schemes, but young Jay Gould thinks it is just the racket. Mark Twain may be expected to have a lot of fun with the Detroit official who has declared that one of his stories is "literary junk." Henry James says that he has never heard an American woman say " Thank you." Poor fellow, what bad company he must have kept in his native land. "Do something different every day. Get out of bed with a different leg first every morning." Thus Julian Hawthorne, who evidently expects us to remain in bed after the second day. A South Carolina paper opines that "the tone of a bullfrog is the sweetest note in nature's music." There's no accounting for tastes, as the old womans said when she kissed the cow.

There was quite a mystery about the bridal of Miss Terry, who in spite of her spinster prefix, is now making happy a third husband. The poet must have had her in mind when he said, "Time cannot wither, not custom stale her infinite variety." Brave as Kuroki is, he cannot fail to see manifold reasons, in America, why he should have the welfare of his own country in mind when he says that he hopes the bonds between the United States and Japan will be strengthened with the passing years. When a man gambles and doesn't win, and then speculates and loses a few times, his wife is fully persuaded that he does it on purpose to keep her out of that exalted station in life where she would be such a bright and shining ornament. It never occurs to her, says the Nashville American, that she might dazzle a few where she is at. Tuskegee institute now owns 2,000 acres of land, 82 buildings, dwellings, dormitories, class-rooms, shops and barns, five stock, farm implements, etc., all valued at $85,000. Besides, it has 22,000 acres of public lands granted by congress, valued at $125,000, and an endowment fund of $1,275,000. The institute now has over 1,800 pupils in all its departments, and is growing every year. In a railway carriage, perched an a cliff overhanging the Severn, near Bridgnorth, England, lives Henry Hudson, a man who has traveled extensively, published more than one novel and written for scientific magazines. He adopted his strange mode of life partly from a love of nature, says an English correspondent. He builds coracles, which he sends to Norway, and has invented socks made from wood, which are being considered by the British military authorities. Mrs. Roosevelt has chosen to ally herself with that part of society which goes in for uplifting. She has seduciously avoided the merely frivolous. Her name is on the list of patrons of art and music. She is pledged, when her husband leaves office, to aid in the establishment of a national academy of art and of a national conservatory, both to be supported by government funds. It is understood that she wishes to go down in White House annals as the most intelligent and conscientious collector of historic china who has ever graced the stately mansion.

Des Moines—it is not improbable that the prohibitionists will carry the Waterloo case in which they were defeated to the supreme court to secure adjudication from the highest judicial tribunal of their contention that the prohibitory instead of the mulet law is in force in this state. A fund to which a large number of contributions have been made has been raised to fight the case through the courts, but whether the discouragement due to the decision will do will remain to cause their activities is not disclosed by their leaders. They attacked the mullet law as against public policy and contended that even the legislature cannot legalize the saloon or liquor business. They also two decisions in Indiana to that effect. In this connection it has been disclosed that in its original form the Martin or mulit law, as passed by the legislature in March, 1894, provided that nothing in the act should be construed to mean that the business of introducing liquors is in any way legalized," etc. When the code was revised in 1897 this language was changed, substantially. The code commission altered it to read: "Nothing contained in this chapter, so far as it relates to the mulit law, shall be in any way legalized." The language of the sale of intoxicating liquors is in any way legalized," etc. This language was enacted into the new code and is now the language of the law. The history of the change is not known. But while the Martin mulit law is business law, new code legalized accepts as to the mulit tax. Yet he index to the code refers to the section as "business not legalized." TAFT AT IOWA CITY.

RUEF TESTIMONY IS FATAL City Executive Just Found to Have Received "Swag" Was Orchestra Player When Elected. San Francisco, Cal., June 14—A jury of twelve of his peers has declared Mayor E. E. Schmits guilty of the crime of extortion as charged against him by the grand jury. The jury was out just one hour and thirty-five minutes. They elected Charles E. Capp foreman and at once proceeded to an informal ballot. This was cast verbally and stood eleven for conviction, one for acquittal, Juror Burns, a shoemaker, casting the disentending vote. Then the twelve began a discussion of the evidence which lasted for nearly an hour. At the end of time the first formal ballot was cast. It was a written ballot and was unanimous for conviction. Even before Judge Dunne reached the synagogue, hurried thither by an automobile, nearly a thousand men had gathered in Bush street and were clamoring at the doors to be let in. They were kept out until the twelve men had been brought in and seated. They were seated in a room bers by a rear way the crowd surged into the building from the front. Then there was another wait of five minutes. The mayor came present in his touring car, Attorney Metson company him. They pressed down the aisle and quietly took their accustomed table at the end of the counsel table farthest from the jury. "Let the jury be polled," he said quietly.

As I said before my trial, I did not expect nor did I receive failings in the case, that I had hands of Judge Dunne and realizing his prejudice. I made every effort to have the case transferred to any other judge in the state. I do not take this as a defeat, and the decision was made that I should be blinded to seek and secure justice in another court. AT LAST BREAKS DOWN Orchard Grows Fearful When Quizzed As To Conversion. Boise, Idaho, June 14—After with standing with marvelous strength of nerve and muscle a week's examination that was one prolonged confession of crime, Harry Orchard yester day morning broke down and for a few moments wept like a child. His unwerving came with the story of his conversion and confession, and the mention of King David, murderer, the biblical figure who is supposed to be Orchard's later guide. Orchard, just before noon in low and shaken tones, told of his conversion. How, when in the penitentiary in thought over his past life, he thought of putting himself out of the way and that he ought to make a clean breast of it all. He said he had come to feel that the grave did not end it all. The story was told to a hushed court room, the silence being broken only by the drone of Orchard's voice. The men who are battling to save the life of William D. Haywood and the good name of the Western Federation of Miners made their greatest effort day after day when, carrying the review by cross-examination of his life of crime down to his confession, they bitterly assailed his gulping motives. They stripped him before the jury of the murder of his father and then suddenly turning upon him in final fierce attack, they fought with every means known to the legal craft to convince the jury that Orchard was committed a crime in the case of the innocent men in the hope of saving his own. They carried their attack to the very language with which the witness answered their questions everywhere they alleged by forceful words into his mouth by men controlling him. Richardson announced that he had between 150 and 200 witnesses to call for the drents. He said the impeachment examination he proposed would not take more than thirty minutes. Hawley, for the state, asked to be allowed to take up one question on the issue of the drents, and tended to postpone the redirect or animation until the defense held the foundation for the impeachment. When being quizzed about his famous confession, Orchard said he fell he owed it as a "duty to his God, his country, society and himself." SCANDAL SHAKES EMPIRE.

Boise, Idaho.—The defense Wednesday carried the cross-examination of Harry Orchard down to the actual crime charged against William D Haywood—the murder of Frank Step cenberg—and as it progressed assailed the testimony and the theory of the state resting upon it. The Steenberg crime was reached at midday, and counsel for the defense directed their efforts to an attempt to cloud the earlier purposes and movements of Orchard with uncertainty and indefiniteness. Then they emphasized the abandonment of all effort to kill after Orchard first tracked Steenberg to a hotel in Boise and, a skeleton key had gained entrance to the very room in which the governor was living. Here they delayed for a moment to prove that Orchard twice wore a once telephoned to Bill Easterly at school to urge him to come and join in the crime, and the direct implication was that Orchard was endeavoring to invigile another federation man into the crime which would bring discredit and dishonor to the organization.

Orchard swore that David Cohen, the eleventan governor of Colorado, and his liaiser in Wallace, Idaho, first suggested the kidnapping to Petitbone and himself at Denver. Then the defense showed the witness in the commission of a series of mean crimes and reduced to poverty, in which he had to resort to a pawnshop, borrowing and theft to live for a long period. The defense wanted to know why, if he were in Idaho on a mission of order for Haywood, Moyer and Petitbone, them, he did not send to them for more money, instead of borrowing and stealing. Orchard replied that he did send a letter to Moyer at Butte and got $100, but he did not send for more because he was temporarily off the Steenmenburg murder errand and away from where Steenmenburg lived, and he did not want to send for more money until he could show that he was back to work MR8.

One of the early visitors was a remarkably fat man, who found himself wedged into the arch when he tried to squeeze in a small amount of water. The builders, recognizing the possibility of other fat people being numbered among the future visitors, decided to widen the arch, sacrificing symmetry and harmony to practical need, as the pier was so constructed as to bear no loss of width on one of its sides. With a simple but impressive ceremony President Dias was presented with the military painting portraying the action of his command in the battle of Puebla against the French forces in the war of the invasion. The painting, which was the work of the artist Francisco de P. Mendosa, a professor in the national school of fine arts and of the military college, was executed at the request of the governors of 13 Mexican states, and was presented as a personal gift to the chief migrate. The painting represents Gen. Dias in action in the glorious battle which won fame for the Mexican forces, and at the moment when the forces under the direct command of Gen. Dias saved the day. —Mexican Herald. Cheapsen and improve Coal. Consul General W. R. Holkow, of Halifax, says that the Canadian commercial agent at Manchester, England, reports an invenation at that place for depriving soft coal of its most objective feature by abstracting the oils said to produce smoke, and calling the resulting article "coalite" which is something like coke in appearance and which can be furnished at one-third the present cost of coal. Five acres of land near Manchester have been purchased, and large works will be erected for its production.—United States Consul Reports. Found $2000 Worth of Feed. The editor of a paper out in Okin, said: "Yes, it is true when I got hold of Grape-Nuts food, it was worth more than a $2000 doctor bill to me, for it made me a well man. I have gained 25 pounds in weight, my strength has returned tenfold, my brain power has been given back to me, and that is an absolute essential, for I am an editor and have been for 35 years. "My pen shall always be ready to speak a good word for this powerful nutritive food. I had of course often read the advertisements regarding Grape-Nuts, but never thought to apply the food to my own use, until, in my extremity and sickness the thought came to me that it might fit my case. The statements in regard to the food are absolutely correct, as I have seen in my own case.

"There’s a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellbeing." is her. Senator Morgan a Model. Senator John T. M. Morgan, of Alabama, occasionally writes magazine articles which involve a great deal of research, but he uniformly refuses to accept pay for them. In the course of his career many railroad passes have been offered him, but he never accepted any either. In 1935 he married a family. Through over 60 years old, he thinks nothing of working half the night. The senator never haunts the departments looking for jobs for constituents. Of moderate means when he entered the senate, he is now a poor man, having little or nothing in his salary. Sheer white goods, in fact any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty.
