MINGO SAUNDERS DISMISSED SERGEANT ON THE BROWNSVILLE RAID. Made Famous Since the Discharge without Honor. HE SAYS THE FIRING DID NOT SOUND AS IF IT CAME FROM SPRINGFIELD RIFLES-ALL THE GUNS OF HIS COMPANY FOUND IN PROPER CONDITION AND THE AMMUNITION INTACT. WASHINGTON, Feb.11. — Former Sergeant Mingo Saunders, who has been made famous since the discharge without honor of the members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry on account of the Brownsville raid, was the principal witness this morning before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, which is investigating the incident. Mingo is a very black negro of the plantation type in the days before the war. He impressed the members of the committee with his earnestness and apparent veracity as he told his story in detail and with elaborate use of military terms and expressions from the manual. He was first sergeant of Company B and at the time of his discharge without honor had been nearly twenty-six years in the service and would soon have been eligible to retirement on a pension. During all that time, he said, he had never been in trouble of any kind. Saunders said he was married and lived outside the barracks. He was aroused by the firing, and on going to quarters several bullets which were fired from the town whistled past his head. The firing, he said, seemed to him as if done by Winchesters, six-shooters and perhaps some Mausers. He did not distinguish the shots of any Springfield rifles, which were used by the garrison at Fort Brown. When the call to arms was sounded, Saunders said, there was some difficulty in opening the gun racks of his company, and the order to break them open was given by one of the Lieutenants of the company. When the company lined up and the roll was called he said a private attempted to crouch down so as to be protected by the wall surrounding the barracks. "The firing was still going on," testified Saunders, "and I told him to stand up, and if he was killed to die like a soldier." Lieut. Lorison, the company commander, he said, cautioned the witness to keep the men in restraint, but to defend the fort in case an assault was made upon it. Saunders said that at inspection the morning after the shooting all the guns of his company were found in proper condition. He also accounted for the ammunition. When the Twenty-fifth came to Fort Brown, he said, they brought along a box of loose cartridge shells, which was on the rear porch of the barracks. The Mexicans were accustomed to going into the barracks and carrying off anything they could pick up. They took away caps, clothing and even arctic overshoes which the men had brought from the North. They also picked up the cartridge shells. In answer to questions by Senator Foraker, Saunders said he was not implicated in the raid himself and knew of no one who was. He had resorted to one ruse after another to get information from the men of his company regarding the affair, but had always failed. Senator Foraker read from the report of Gen. Garlington wherein he stated that subsequently Saunders had come to him and asked to be exempted from the dismissal threatened by the President. "Did you go to Gen. Garlington and make any such request?" asked Senator Foraker. "Yes, sir, I did," replied the witness. "I told him what my service had been in Cuba and the Philippines, of the engagements in which I had taken part and what my record had been. I told him, I said, 'General, I am a poor man, and I serve my country honest and faithful for the Government and before I'd tell you a lie, General, I would suffer my life to be destroyed, my body to be THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1907. NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1907. buried in the earth and cattle to eat grass from the substance of my blood; but now I'm to be cast out in the world a condemned man, but I tell you honest I don't know anything about who did that shooting." When asked why he had made a special plea for himself the witness said he was obliged to look out for Saunders first; he knew he was not guilty and if any others were they should be punished. Saunders had not completed his statement when the committee adjourned to-day. The committee has been investigating the Brownsville affair for a week, and there has not been a word of evidence adduced thus far tending to reveal the identity of a single man engaged in the shooting. Nine witnesses have thus far been examined, and in general their testimony has been the ame. There are still nearly thirty ex-members of the regiment who have been summoned and are here to be heard. At the present rate of progress the last man will not be heard before the close of the session. It is costing about $100 a day to pay the witnesses and their expenses. In addition to this cost the Government is paying the cost of bringing the men here, and they have come from all parts of the country. GOOD IMPRESSIONS. Globe Headquarters, 311 S. Center Street SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 11.—The Penrose court-martial, which was in progress to-day at Fort Sam Houston, was decidedly the most important in the annals of the court-martial. It brought out the fact that previous testimony touching upon the attempted identity of the Negro soldiers and their connection with the "Brownsville shoot up" was merely a matter of conjecture. The testimony showed that the majority of the citizens and many of the officers of the town of Brownsville wear all kinds of government uniforms, and the fact is now discredited among many, that the men seen going into the post on the night of the 13th and those pointed out by several of the witnesses, were not enlisted men. The lady who testified yesterday and the gentleman who testified to seeing men dressed in khaki trousers and blue shirts, must have seen citizens of Brownsville. The fact developed very startling to-day that the lieutenant of police himself wore khaki uniform and it could have been he that went into the post. It is also urged in this section that he Tweny-sixth Infantry, which preceded the Twenty-fifth Infantry in occupying the quarters at Fort Brown, left ammunition and other government property in the vicinity. It is a fact well established among residents in and about post headquarters and barracks that enlisted men not only dispose of clothes, blouses, shirts, trousers and shoes, but that they often sell direct from the commissary department. Some of them are believed to have disposed of revolvers and ammunition to citizens. Not withstanding this is a violation to army rules and regulations. No member of the court-marital has been interviewed by your correspondent, but from the general impression gleaned on the streets about the city and thy in favor of the discharged soldiers is growing constantly. Much hope is entertained as to the favorable out come. EBENEZER NOTES. The Ebenezer Stock Company presented for the sixth time at Foster's Chapel, "A Woman's Way." This play has taken so well that they hesitate to stage their new play, "A Sad Mistake." Seay Chapel has secured their service for the 26th of February. Mr. Allen Copeland and Mr. Early Jenkins are new subscribers for the Globe. Mr. Copeland is highly pleased with the Globe, and expresses himself in the following way: "I think the Globe is the most interesting colored paper in the United States," and as he has traveled a deal we must take his word for it. Mrs. Blanche Keeling is up. HELIOTROPE CIRCLE. A regular meeting of the Heliotrope Circle was held last week at the residence of Mrs. Randall Hardiman, on Seventh avenue, South. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. Durand Houston, the president, and after the usual preliminaries, there was a display of embroidery for an hour or more. Later in the evening a two-course menu was served. The next meeting will be held at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the fourth Monday at the residence of Mrs. W. W. Hill, 801 Ewing avenue. A FALSE REPORT. THE PORTERS OF THE CAPITOL WERE NOT GUILTY. CHARGES THAT WERE EVIDENTLY CONCOCTED PROVEN TO BE GROUNDLESS-BOTH MEN RELIABLE CITIZENS. An afternoon newspaper contained, last Thursday, an account of the arrest of two of the porters employed at the Capitol on the charge of stealing stamps. So far as the publication refers to one of the men, Mr. Andrew Cheatham, it appears that the charges were groundless. A Globe representative in an interview with one of the relatives of Mr. Cheatham elicited the following information: "Mr. Cheatham, who has been employed at the Capitol for several years, was in one of the offices when Mr. Norris, the man who had been accused of disposing of the stamps, was arrested and was requested to accompany the officer and the accused man. This he readily did thinking that he might be of some service. After being questioned, he was further requested to accompany the two men to the jail, where he remained in the office for a considerable time. After the officers had detained him here for quite a while, they decided to lock him up. "Mr. Cheatham did not know that he had been accused of anything wrong, and knowing his innocence of any crime, made no effort to communicate with his friends. But when informed that he was to be locked up, called up the office of Capt. John Morton over the telephone, and the officials of the office ordered him released at once. "Capt. Morton, in whose office Mr. Cheatham works, was completely surprised at the arrest. He has implicit confidence in the honesty of Mr. Cheatham and does not believe that he has been guilty of the misappropriation of stamps. Capt. Morton, nor any of those employed in his office, was responsible for the account published in the paper. "In fact, there seems to be nothing in the charge that either of the two porters were guilty other than the effort of a deputy sheriff to get a reputation for some slick detective work. Both of the men have been turned loose and the charges dropped." Mr. Andrew Cheatham is a highly respectable citizen of the city, having lived here most, if not all, of his life. His reputation has always been above reproach and it was a matter of great surprise to his friends when the deputy sheriff had published the fictitious charges. He resides with his family at 634 Wetmore street. THE NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL. The following letter has been sent to the colored press by Corresponding Secretary L. G. Jordan, of Louisville, Ky.: Louisville, Ky., Feb. 4, 1907.—My Dear Comrade—In company with President Walters and Attorney Wetmore, I called on Senator Foraker, during January. His noble soul goes ont for the dishonorably discharged men of the 25th U. S. Regiment. The justice he seeks will come. The American people as a whole are too just to allow a great wrong to 10,000,000 of their number, be they black or white, pass without proper investigation. We are interested in the soldiers, and more than that, in the principle of justice involved that will be too far-reaching in its effect to go undefended. Lieut. Flipper, who is now living under another flag, and Cadet Whitaker, who had his ear cut off in a hazing bee, would be as honored today by the American government as Captain Dreyfus is, by the French, if the Negro had stood by them like the Jews stood by Dreyfus. Our failure in that has seen us steadily beaten back and back until the Negro cannot enter a military academy in this country. Nearly every State has disbanded their Negro militia and this stroke of the President has put a mountain in the Negro's pathway that must be scaled before he can enter as formerly in the United States Army. Again I say, unless we make a just contention, alided by Senator Foraker and other white friends North and South, it will affect the Negro a hundred years hence. Interest friends in the struggle for justice and make yourself responsible for $5.00. Give or collect it and send it to the One Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., or True Reformers' Bank, Richmond, Va., Mr. J. C. Napier, Cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank, or Mr. R. T. Hill, Cashier of the True Reformers' Bank, will receipt you. Do not delay, but act and act at once. The investigation has been ordered by the United States Senate. Now, if the Negro is called to trial and is not ready, all we have fought for, all Senator Foraker has won, will be lost. Then there is the Constitution to be adopted by the new state of Oklahoma. The clause making legal "Jim Crow" cars is to be submitted to a vote of the people separate from other articles. Had the Council money we could organize and defeat that act. We must do something to help our Oklahoma brethren. For the race to surrender without an honest struggle, will show us to be too big cowards for any decent man to fight for. A prominent man writing from the State of Arkansas, says: "The most troublesome thing that we have on our hands at present is the Arkansas Legislature. They are grinding away slowly but surely, trying as best they can to engulf the Negro and strip him of all his constitutional rights. They have already introduced a servant's bill which in my opinion, if enacted, will be pure and simple peonage. They have also introduced the segregation bill, which means if enacted into law, the denial of a vast number of Negro children the right and privilege of a common public school education. The two acts summed up in a nutshell mean, involuntary servitude and ignorance." Let all differences of denomination or churches, past successes or failures of any racial organization be forgotten in this hour of our racial deathgrapple with the most outrageous wrong ever done 10,000,000 people. It is strike now or never. The National Afro-American Council meets June 26, 28, 1907, in Baltimore, Md. With a longing for a better day for our people and beloved country, I am. Your comrade THE COLORED ELEVATOR A unique organization whose object is to encourage employees to put aside a small portion of their earnings each week for a rainy day and to encourage them in the saving habit, had its birth about November 1, 1906, in West Nashville, on the grounds of Vanderbile University. The organization is known as the "Colored Elevator." Its membership constitutes mostly the employees at Vanderbilt University, especially those at Kissam Hall. These young men through their efforts perfected a very strong organization with R. W. Wingfield, president; Monroe Modley, vice president; A. N. Owens, secretary; Walter Whitaker, treasurer. They require from each member a deposit of 50 cents per week with the treasurer. A receipt for this 50 cents is given by the treasurer to the depositor as proof that this amount is held in trust to his credit. There are no restricting laws and by laws regulating this fund, except the moral set forth in the intent of the organization. A member may withdraw his amount at will. They have managed to bring in up to the present time, $70.00, which will be disbursed to the members at the close of school. The organization also provides that certain nights in the week be set apart for debating. They discuss current topics respecting the race and its condition throughout the country. Most of the members reside in the state of Tennessee, but few of them, however, are from Nashville. The following are some of the staunch workers of the organization: Messrs. Baldwin Fitzgerald, Robert Mason, Hofard Evans, John Massey, Percy Durhams, Lewis and Preston Webb. They propose to continue the organization, and have been encouraged by the addition of new members from time to time. BIRTHDAY PARTY. Mr. Frank Patrick, of 1302 Kayne avenue, gave to his wife, Ollie, a beautiful birthday party Friday night, Feb. 8. The house was beautifully lighted with Japanese lanterns, which made a very picturesque scene. Frappe was dispensed throughout the evening, and a course of ices and wines was served. Mrs. Patrick was the recipient of many presents. JEEFERSON CITY NOTES Miss Sadie Lewis has returned home from a visit to Nashville. Miss Kittle C. Howse is having much success with the school at Saint Paul. No. 6. COURT MARTIAL PROCEEDINGS NOW GOING ON AT BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS. Maj. Penrose Being Tried for Neglect of Duty. ARMY POST AT FORT SAM HOUSTON CENTER OF INTEREST—THE COUNTY WAITING WITH BATED BREATH THE FINDINGS OF THE COURT—VARIED TESTIMONY FROM WITNESSES. Globe Headquarters, 311 South Center Street. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 7.—The beautiful post at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., has possibly attracted more attention in the last week than it has since the famous Ninth and Tenth Cavalry arrived here fresh from the scene of conflict in the Antilles, when they marched across Alamo Plaza and out Avenue "C" playing "There'll be a hot time in the old town to-night." The most notable feature of his memorable parade was the cavalry band mounted on iron greys. The attention given Fort Sam Houston, which is a beautiful suburb of this historic city, is caused by Maj. Penrose' court-martial, which is still in session. Grave-looking and distinguished army officers wearing elaborate military costumes can be seen on the lower and upper parade grounds. It appears more like a Sanhedrin Council of old than a court-martial nowadays. The appearances are that deep down into the facts will the court-martial go and that some things heretofore not given to the press will be unearthed. The witnesses are here from Brownsville while the citizens are here as spectators from the city of San Antonio. Some of the Spanish-American war veterans who fought side by side with the gallant Twenty-fifth Infantry are walking about the post grounds with knitted brows and troubled consciences, fearing lest some unfair testimony should be deduced to the detriment of this regiment. Some have been heard to say that this court-martial of Major Penrose in which he is to prove his innocence is a thing they do not understand. They have been accustomed to seeing courts-martial when charges have been preferred against them, but never in their army career have they before been summoned when there are no charges against them. The first witnesses to testify to-day were placed on the stand early, one being a woman, whose testimony was said to be extremely light and of no importance. J. P. McDonald was put on the stand afterwards, and attempted to describe the Brownsville disturbances. He did not see the firing, but it is said he heard it. Thus his testimony was only a matter of what was heard. Mrs. Emma Leahy, the wife of a hotel keeper, gave about the only testimony that was of any interest. She testified that she saw flashes of the guns from her windows and that she heard the shots. She saw forms of men whom she believed were raiders and thought that she could discern the faces which looked black to her as they passed her windows. She was not positive, but she thought she heard a soldier remark that he would "kill out every white man in the town before morning." She further testified that it appeared to her that the fifth shot was fired from the barracks of the fort, but upon cross-examination she admitted that she was within the walls of her own house and could not say positively that the shot was fired from the barracks, as she did not see it. She only heard it. F. A. H. Sanborne, manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company at Brownsville, was also placed on the stand and gave his testimony relative to the despatches that were sent out. Judging from the testimony brought out, it appears that the despatches sent out from Brownsville were by citizens and people who knew nothing definite as to what had happened.

Mr. Sanborne, manager of the Western Union Telegraph office at Brownsville, was the first witness to day. Upon cross-examination he testified to passing a man in U. S. army uniform going into the gate at Ft. Brown on the night of August 11, after the shooting up of Brownsville. He could not say whether the man carried a gun or club, nor could he say whether he was a U. S. soldier or one of the employees or Mexican peons. He did not hail the man nor did he see his face. Later he saw several men coming from the direction of the officers' quarters, but does not say he questioned either of them. C. B. Chase, the locomotive engineer who stopped at the Miller House, told of being awakened by shots and seeing men dressed in soldiers' uniform firing on the police. James Belden was the only man who testified that he saw Negroes dressed in army clothing firing on the police lieutenant, but it is indicated from what is heard about the post that this testimony was led by the examination. The lieutenant of police in the great city of Brownsville (which possibly has as many as half a dozen officers) whose name is given as H. Y. Dominguez and who now wears an empty sleeve, was put on the stand in the afternoon and was the only witness for today. He testified that his horse was shot from under him and that his arm was so seriously wounded as to necessitate amputation the next day. When asked the direct question he declared that he was shot by government soldiers, but it is not learned nor is it stated that the soldiers were Negroes. He said the firing came from the federal reservation and that notwithstanding it was night and dark, he could discern khaki trousers and blue shirts, which elicited some broad smiles by the court. There appears to be the usual amount of interest which promises to continue. THE PENROSE COURT-MARTIAL SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 11.—The first witness to testify to-day in the court-martial at Ft. Sam Houston was Dr. F. G. Comb, Mayor of Brownsville, Tex. Mayor Comb testified that after the raid he made his way to the post with an escort of soldiers who had come up with Capt. Lyon. He said that he saw Maj. Penrose and told him the troops had shot up the town. Penrose expressed surprise, saying that it had been reported to him that citizens fired on the post. Capt. Macklin came up saying he had been asleep. From cross-examination of H. Y. Dominguez it developed that the police at the time of the raid wore khaki uniforms, similar to those of the soldiers. F. E. Starck, customs inspector at Brownsville, told of the raid as he witnessed it. The gun shots sounded like the crack of high power guns. Bullets went through his home. He saw a policeman that night dressed in khaki. PROMINENT DIVINE COMING. It has been announced that through the efforts of Rev. J. B. Curry and Dr. Lambert, of this city, that Rev. Dr. Josiah Strong, the eminent minister and author of Buffalo, N. Y., will be in Nashville on the 19th and 20th of this month. Dr. Strong is the author of several important books, the most prominent being "Our Country" and "Our City." Dr. Strong comes under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which church, through the efforts of its leading ministers, is doing a great work. This has been demonstrated more than once. It will be remembered that only a few weeks ago in their recent conference they listened with interest and pleasure to a timely and well prepared address by Prof. Gilbert, of Payne College in the State of Georgia, who addressed the conference of ministers at the Methodist Publishing House. The theme of Dr. Strong's lecture is believed will be "How the city preachers can help fashion the work of Christianity" or something along this line. A special address will be delivered to all the colored ministers of Nashville. This address will take place on February 20, at 10 o'clock a. m., at the preachers' headquarters, Methodist Publishing House on Broadway. It is expected that this will be one of the largest interdenominational audiences gather together in Nashville recently. AN IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE. It has just been learned that an important change has transpired in the National Baptist Union which is the largest paper published by Negroes in the United States. This paper has a large reading circulation, being a 16-page weekly; then, too, it is known to be the official organ of the National Baptist Convention with its 2,300,000 members. From an editorial and mechanical viewpoint this paper is easily the superior of any turned out. Its editorials have always been of the highest class. It never contains any patent matter and therefore has been looked upon as the foremost of all journals. The paper heretofore, it is learned, has been jointly managed by the National Baptist Publishing Board and the National Baptist Young People's Union Board. The new deal, it is learned, changes this order of things. The interest of the two boards is practically the same except the management passes to Dr. Boyd's board, while Dr. E. W. D. Isaac takes charge of the editorial department and his duties, it is said, will be directed souly to the editorial work and news matter. Heretofore he has had charge of part of the mail and of other affairs. Dr. Boyd will in the future, through his Board, assume the entire management, mailing the paper, printing it and doing such other work as comes in the line of management. The paper will continue, as before, appearing each Saturday. FISK NOTES. Miss Hukill, principal of the English Department, has returned and resumed her duties. A crowded house witnessed the performance of Prince Herrman last Friday night. A neat little sum was realized, the University portion of which was given to the Fisk Athletic Association. "The Country Fair," given by the Tanner Art Club, netted the sum of nearly thirty dollars. This will be used in helping to furnish a club room for the girl's literary societies. A number of Fisk students attended the Christian Endeavor Social at Howard Chapel, Tuesday night. Mr. Ricks, a promising attorney of St. Paul, spent several days in the city, and while here visited friends at the University. The Senior College and Junior Normal Classes are throwing "rocks" at each other in grand style. Miss Florence G. Jackson, of the Senior Class, was the victim of a social occasion on her birthday, February 7. H. R. Merry's birthday fell on the same date, but he happily escaped. Mr. J. T. Phillips read an original poem composed in honor of Professor C. W. Morrow on the latter's birthday, February 8. Mrs. H. F. Mitchell is on the sick list. Thurlow James, who has been confined for several weeks, will soon be out. President Merrill preached Sunday, February 10. His subject was "Moses, the Leader of his People." Mr. Allen, of Walden, will address the Y. M. C. A. Sunday, February 17. Mrs. Green, mother of our instructor in elocution, has had quite a pleasant visit at Fisk. Prof. H. C. Morgan has returned from her Southern trip. Mrs. J. G. Merrill gave a luncheon. February 9, in honor of the Senior Normals.

Burrill, Secretary; Henry A. Boyd, Treasurer, and D. A. Hart Manager, gave a few friends a stag dinner at Well's Cafe Tuesday evening, February 12, in commemoration of the natal day of that great man, statesman, Christian, humanitarian and emulator—Abraham Lincoln. Those who sat and partook of the sumptuous repast were Capt. J. Milton Easterling, of Chattanooga, Tenn.; A. W. Fite, Deputy Grand Chancellor K. of P.; D. A. Hart, H. A. Boyd, J. O. Battle and J. D. Crenshaw. His Highness, Grand Chancellor J. P. Crawford, owing to stress of business, only came in after the battle of prodigious appetites had been fought and won; there were no spoils left to grace the victory, and he who was not in at the first onslaught was left. During the dinner various issues of the day and different phases of them furnished topics for general discussion which were animated and interesting and participated in by all. Many logical and thoughtful things were said during the discussion of President Roosevelt's political pyrotechnics and other precedents of his meteoric and strenuous administration. Centralization of power of our complex political system came up for a fair share of notice, also the feasibility, or rather the possibility of the fighting little Jap, in the event of war being able to take and hold the Pacific coast—our land beyond the Rockies; there was a divergence of opinion on this point. Abraham Lincoln, the great war president, the friend of the oppressed and the martyr, in commemoration of whose birthday the occasion represented, came in for grateful mention. LODGE DIRECTORY.

In these days that require caution, he is thinking; he is reading; he is observing, and he is learning to act in the best interest of himself and posterity as was remarked by those present. When the time came to part, each expressed himself as highly pleased with the pleasures of the evening and wished each other success in the future. MISSES STATON ENTERTAINED. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. A. Anderson, of 639 Bass street entertained Thursday night. February 7, in honor of Misses Eddie and Florence Staton, of Columbia.

Does it mean that the people of Goodlettsville have so soon grown tired of supporting such a worthy race enterprise? Miss Kate Dozier was recently elected assistant superintendent of Baker's Chapel C. M. E. Sunday School. Rev. D. R. Giles, pastor of the C. M. E. Church at Iron City, preached at Baker's Chapel C. M. E. Church last Thursday night. Rev. J. W. White, superintendent of the Anti-saloon League, with headquarters at Xenia, Ohio, visited our town recently. Miss Amelia White declares she can't do without the Globe, and so she has renewed her subscription. Mr. Will Patton never allows his subscription to run out. Mr. Lee Grooms has been indisposed. The services at the Congregational Church last Sunday afternoon were especially enjoyed by all who were present. The pastor, Rev. J. C. Russell, preached on the subject, "High-mindedness," (Phil. 4:8.) There was a love feast service at the C. M. E. Church last Sunday night. Miss Kittle Garrett, one of the staunch supporters of the Globe, has recently been elected primary teacher of the C. M. E. Sunday school. It is so shameful to see large crowds of young people loafing about every Sunday during church services. Our public school is still in a pros- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1907.

Hendricks was at home again last Sunday. Mr. J. M. Payne is still among the vital supporters of the Globe. CHATTANOOGA AND THE CLANSMAN. Special to the Nashville Globe. Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 12.—The effort to prevent the appearance of The Clansman in this city last Wednesday resulted in a fiasco. The man that is responsible for the failure of the movement, it is alleged, is the Rev. Joseph E. Smith, pastor of the First Colored Congregational Church. The reverend gentleman, in company with the men whose names were signed to the petition below, called on Mayor W. L. Frierson and asked that the play be prohibited from showing in the city. The Mayor, being without authority to take the step, encouraged the committee to present the petition to the Council. Whereupon the following was presented to Mr. Griggsby, the colored member of the city council: "Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 4, 1907. "To the Honorable Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Chattanooga, Tenn.: "Gentlemen: Representing the colored citizens of Chattanooga we come demanding nothing. The best interests of home and community brings us before your body. The vicious effects of the presentation of 'The Clansman' lends nothing to the uplifting of the individual nor to the community at large. We note the evil consequences that have followed in its wake wherever it has been presented. It tends to prevent an amicable relationship between the races. "We therefore most respectfully petition your honorable body to suppress its presentation in our city. The document was signed with the following names, all colored professional men: R. W. Allen, W. A. Thompson, J. A. Mason, E. C. Wickliffe, J. W. Tate, J. P. Frierson, E. W. Rogers, W. H. Stephens, C. West, L. C. Gibbs, G. W. Ward, J. T. Walton, W. M. Massey, J. E. Smith, William Parks, J. B. Williams, D. E. Johnson, G. H. Crider, C. A. Bell and J. H. Jackson. Pastor Smith, declare several professional men, was one of the most ardent supporters of the resolutions asking that the play be suppressed. At the last moment they claim he lost his nerve and withdrew the document from Councilman Griggsby, who was to present it to the council. This, declare those concerned, Pastor Smith had no authority to do, since the resolutions in question were signed by twenty-two professional men, he being among those signers. The following gentle "rub" was adopted among those who believe that but for Smith their action might have received serious consideration. "It's All Your Fault. Brother Smith! "Apropos to the preparing of a set of inoffensive resolutions relating to the suppression of 'The Clansman' in this city and to the forceful presentation of them to Mayor Frierson, Rev. Joe Smith, pastor of the First Congregational church, and member of committee on resolutions, as the shades of night drew on, saw pandemonium break loose, negroes defenselessly shot down, the streets coated with human gore. Weak-kneed and vascillatingly he sought the chambers of the city council and pleaded for a return of said resolution for fear that his name would be published in connection with it. Out of fear that hard feelings would be engendered he failed in maintaining the courage of his convictions. "The sense of the signed citizens was to offer the protest, feeling that the good of the community of white and black demanded it. But by a play of diplomacy on the part of Brother Joe the council assembled and adjourned without the presentation of these resolutions. We wish, therefore, to have this article convey the sense that there is nothing contained in the withdrawal of above resolutions that was a suggestion of a fear of engendering hard feelings. We therefore adopt this method of announcing to the general public that the sentiment of the signers still maintains, Brother Joe Smith to the contrary notwithstanding. "Further, we wish to express earnest appreciation of the manifested intent of the councilmen of registering a vote against said presentation of 'The Clansman,' should the resolutions have been presented." This communication to Rev. Smith was in the nature of a round robin as it was not signed by those signing the resolution, though it is the consensus of opinion that it expresses the sentiments of a majority of them. In the meanwhile, The Clansman appeared as per schedule and played before crowded houses, having profited by the free advertisement which had been so kindly furnished it. PRINCE HERRMAN The entertainment at Fisk University Friday night, Feb. 8, was a success in every way. Every teacher and student of Fisk, and hundreds of our best citizens, were present. The 800 people who were fortunate in squeezing into Livingstone Hall were more than delighted, while the 200 or more persons who turned away from the door because there was no room inside missed a real treat. These and all others will, however, have opportunity to see Prince Herrman at his very best in a bran new programme at Meharry Auditorium the night of Friday, March 8th. This will eclipse all other programs, because the stage is sufficiently large to admit of many very special features. Crowded houses have greeted Prince Herrman and Duke Berryman this week, 2 nights at Second Baptist Church, 2 nights at Jackson Temple and 1 night at Trinity C. M. E. Church. Their engagements for next week are as follows: Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church. Mon- day night, Feb. 18th; Hubbard Chapel M. E. Church, Tuesday night, Feb. 19th; Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, Wednesday night, Feb. 20; Third Avenue Baptist Church, Thursday night, Feb. 21st; Seays Chapel M. E. Church, Friday night, Feb. 22nd. Prince Herman advises his many friends to see The Merchant of Venice at Fisk University Friday night, Feb. 22nd. THE NEW ANTHEMS FOR CHURCH CHOIRS. We acknowledge receipt of a new book of anthems, some of the most beautiful sacred anthems seen in Nashville. The book is published by the National Baptist Publishing Board, being especially prepared for church choirs and Young People's meetings. The words and music of these anthems is composed by two of the noted song writers in the person of the late Prof. Wm. Rosborough, whose two books, "Celestial Showers," make his name immortal, and Prof. J. H. Carter, of Harrisburg, Va., whose beautiful anthem, "Who is the King of Glory?" has been so favorably commented upon by music critics. No anthem presented promises to give a more general satisfaction than does this book. The price is 25 cents per copy, $2.50 per dozen, $20.00 per hundred. The fact that these anthems were written by members of the race, who were familiar with the conditions existing, places a greater value on every anthem. They are on sale at the National Baptist Publishing Board, 523 Second avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn. ELABORATE DINNER. An elaborate dinner was served at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Franklin, 924 Main street, East Nashville, last Sunday, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Draper. The table was richly decorated with silver, the centerpiece being of Battenberg, with pink under it, in the center of which was a pot of azalea with ferns. Those seated at the table were Rev. and Mrs. Flagg, Mr. and Mrs. Geo Draper, Miss Vera Moore, Dr. Dunston, Mr. and Mrs. James Davis, Miss Mittie White, Miss Suella Beard, Miss Sallie Ezell, Miss Minnie Bramlett, Mrs. Sallie Norman, Miss Queenie Arnold, Mr. Evans, Mrs. David Ferguson and Miss L. A. Banks. The menu consisted of frappe, celery soup and crackers, roast turkey, chicken on parsley, with dressing; cream potatoes, cranberries, corn, celery, beaten biscuits, sweet peach pickles, green peas, mixed sweet pickles, Waldo salad with white grapes on lettuce leaf, cakes, ices, black coffee and cheese sandwiches. At a late hour the guests retired complimenting Mr. and Mrs. Franklin's home and how grandly they had been entertained. COLUMBIA NOTES The remains of Mrs. Mary Moore, who died in Nashville, arrived Saturday and were taken to the home of her sister, Mrs. Ella Wheatly, on East 7th street. Her funeral was conducted at Beach Grove Baptist Church, of which she was a member. She was the wife of the late Rev. George Moore, former pastor of said church. Mrs. Moore had made her home with her sister, Mrs. Wheatly, for a number of years, and although an invalid she was cheerful and will be missed from the family circle. Miss Bessie Patton, of Nashville, was visiting friends here for a few days last week. Mrs. Hattie Fleming is in Nashville at the bed side of her husband, who is very low. Miss Janie Green will go to Nashville soon to reside. Mr. Clifford Howard, of Chicago, who is visiting his mother, Mrs. Mary Young, on 18th street, is in very poor health. Dr. J. G. Johnson passed through Columbia last week en route to Pulaski. ROGER WILLIAMS ALUMNI On account of the heavy fall of snow and sleet in Nashville, which was still much in evidence on last Friday night, only a small crowd was present at the silver tea party at the Spruce Street Baptist Church, which was given by the Alumni and friends of Roger Williams University. An excellent program had been prepared. One of the unique features of the entertainment was a very beautifully decorated banner stretched across the length of the church containing the letters "Roger Williams University" in silver paper. This banner was indeed attractive, being the handwork of Mrs. Carrie Young and Miss Hester O. Brown. Both of these ladies worked diligently to make this entertainment a success. More than a thousand special appeals and invitations were sent throughout the United States to the addresses of all the students who had once attended the school. It is expected that a substantial response will be received. Miss Brown gratuitously gave her services, rendering some excellent violin solos. Others prominent in the public eye responded likewise. The receipts, while not as large as expected, were encouraging. SOGIETY BADGES All Styles and Prices. MEMBER LOCAL Nº 1 I.U.J.H. NEW YORK, N.Y.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The daily papers announced that several of the city councilmen will oppose the recommendation made by the Board of Education and the Superintendent of the city schools, that money be appropriated for the erection of two new schools for our children and the repairing of other schools. These gentlemen take the position, which is in no manner unique, that a sufficient sum is being spent for the education of Negroes and that the buildings are ample. A casual examination of the school facilities offered our children will show the fallacy of the councilmen's contention. The children living in the section of the city, between Jo Johnston avenue and Broad street, to relieve whom one of the proposed schools is to be built, must walk from ten to twenty blocks to reach the nearest school. These children, more often than otherwise mere tots, as only the primary grades are taught in the two nearest schools, are forced to go this long distance in all conditions of weather and those attending Knowles School are constantly exposed to the danger of the grade railroad crossings of the N. C. & St. L. Ry., and the Illinois Central Ry. The latter is not even protected by the usual gates. To force these children to go such distances works a hardship upon them and to constantly expose them to the dangers of the grade crossings is not far from criminality. The crowded conditions which are met on the inside of the school seriously handicap the efforts of the teachers, as in almost every instance the colored teacher has more children under his supervision than is allotted to the white. We would not impugn the motives of Councilman Marlin, who is sponsor for the opposition movement, even though he lives in the ward which has the largest white population of any in the city, according to the census of 1900. It seems to us, however, that Nashville, with all of her schools of learning, can not afford to let the common educational advantages provided for our people deteriorate by not increasing the facilities as the city grows. The inequality of the provisions made for the white and black children is too great at present, for those who have the best interests of the two races at heart, to adopt a course of of non-improvement for the colored schools. In most of the affairs of the South, "for the colored race" is synonymous with inferior accommodations. We hope that such will not be the case with the Nashville schools. THE THAW CASE. What would at first seem an unparalleled assumption of authority by the President of the United States in his THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 15. 1907. request to Postmaster-General Cortel-you "to know whether it is feasible to bar from the mails the papers that give the full disgusting details of the Thaw case," is, after all, but an attempt to find if the accounts published in the great dailies violate the section of the United States Postal laws which prohibits the publication of "obscene, lewd or lascivious work, pamphlet, picture, print," etc., from the mails. Upon the investigation of the department and its decision as to what is considered "obscene, lewd, or lascivous" will depend the final actions in the case. President Roosevelt, the busy, impulsive man that he is, yet finds time to read the disgusting details of the Thaw trial. He is shocked! He is disgusted! The shock, the disgust, does not, or should not, come from the fact that the papers are giving the dirty details of the trial, but because there is such a state of rottenness in what might be called the upper classes of white society. The Thaw case, which resembles the Feist case of this city in that it deals with the immorality of people above the average, is an unusual one. The wealth of the murderer, who is a member of one of the richest families in Pennsylvania and had an excellent social position in his home town, Pittsburgh and London, and the great reputation of the victim who was the greatest architect of his day, lend an interest to the trial that is not limited to New York. Some of the best legal talent in the country has been retained. And as the lawyers probe into this social ulcer to lay bare the "disgusting details" of the iniquitus life practiced by some of the bohemian bontons, the publicity given to their findings is helpful to the general public rather than harmful. That such putrescence exists among the higher type of the greatest race created, a race thousands of years removed from the rule of the brute passions of savagery, is indeed disgusting. But will the suppression of the facts tend to improve the morals of those who are interested in the case? We think not. We are inclined to agree with the opinion of a Providence, R. I., Baptist preacher, who said: "The tenor of the testimony in the Thaw trial is one of the best indications in recent years of the easy manner in which a young girl may be led astray under such conditions as exist in one of our large cities," and he thought it inadvisable to lose the effects of the "greatest moral lesson of the age" by failing to make the details public. FISK UNIVERSITY PLACE. It is a truism as old as the hills that if a man or a race for that matter, ever expects to be anything he or it must own something. As long as a man has nothing to tie him to any particular place his value as a citizen in a vast majority of cases, is a negligible quantity. But when he owns something he immediately takes up that interest in the welfare of the community which all good citizens should feel. The Negroes of Nashville for the past few years have made remarkable strides forward and are showing their confidence in the city, displaying their determination to remain here, and manifesting their desire to be out of the class who own nothing and are forever under the power of the landlord, by the investing of their incomes in property. In most cases these investments are not made for speculative purposes but for the especial purposes of providing a home for men and their families. This home purchasing movement has gone steadily forward and one needs but to go in certain sections of the city and he will see places that a few years since were to all interests and purposes wild commons, now dotted with modest but cozy cottages. The demand for property has been great; the desire even greater. The one hindering cause that has prevented many persons of modest means from indulging their desire to own something has been the fact that out of their meagre incomes it was impossible to save sufficient money to make the first payment. Again, even if this almost insurmountable bar- rier to owning something has been overcome, the next trial to be faced was the payments. To meet the regular demands made upon the bread-winner as the head of a family and pay upon property at the same time is more than most men making only as much as the average laborer can do. But, as advertised in the columns of The Globe last week, and as is announced on another page of this issue, a plan has been devolved whereby any one can purchase a piece of land and that, too, at terms so reasonable that the poorest paid man in the city can meet them. This plan offered by the Company is practicable and besides the property offered for sale is desirable. The land will form one of the most desirable, healthful and beautiful additions that have ever been made to the city of Nashville. The lay of the land is such that it can be truly called high and dry—free from the swampy marshes so often found in land to be sold. The property is about three blocks south from the end of Jefferson street. It begins with McLaughlin avenue and runs west to the crest of a hill about one-fourth of a mile away. From almost every lot in the tract the view of Nashville is magnificent. In the foreground is Fisk University, with all the classic beauty of each of the buildings of this great institution shown in bold relief; to the left stretches before the eye the ever-growing North Nashville, while in the distance beyond, to the fore and to the right, may be seen the Capitol and the other prominent buildings of the city proper. The property is truly an ideal spot and the terms are so reasonable that we feel no hesitancy in recommending the sale to all who desire a home site at reasonable terms. February was the natal month of three of America's greatest men—George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Douglass, in an address commemorating the birthday of Lincoln, told the following which has a peculiar application at the present time: "My mission to him was in regard to the enlistment and the treatment of colored troops. * * * * * * * * * "On the point of promotion, he was equally willing, but on retaliation he asked, 'Where will it stop?' I could see that there was a vista of blood opening to him from which his tender heart shrank. He said, 'If I could get hold of the men that murdered your troops, murdered our prisoners of war, I would execute them, but I cannot take men that may not have had anything to do with this murdering of our soldiers and execute them. No, Mr. Douglass, I don't see where it would stop; besides, I understand they are beginning to treat our colored soldiers as prisoners of war.'" Sheriff Shipp, his deputies and some of the alleged lynchers of Chattanooga are now facing the commissioner sent to that city by the Supreme Court to investigate the Ed Johnson lynching. The white people of Chattanooga have an excellent opportunity to take some of the medicine that they so frequently prescribe for their colored brother by turning over to the civil authorities the criminals who took Johnson's life. But the opportunity will be passed unless the Supreme Court forces them to do so. We hope the whole gang will feel the heavy hand of the law in so far as the present investigation is concerned and that they will later be prosecuted through a lower court for their criminal deeds. Alton B. Parker, the whilom leader of what Wallace Irwin calls "the safe insane" party, bobs up serenely semi-occasionally to get off some such advice as would be fitting the sage of Esopus. His last address in which he dealt with the race or Southern problem, failed to arouse any more interest in the Judge than did most of his speeches in 1904. By discussing some of the problems before the American people, however, Judge Parker keeps the people from forgetting the name of the man so ignominiously defeated by Roosevelt.

Vernon, by some of the prominent citizens of Washington, on January 30th. Instead of suppressing the details of the Thaw trial, Mr. Roosevelt ought to limit its publication to one New York paper. It would be so much cheaper for the common people to get the whole story then. What would Teddy do if the court martial should exonorate Maj. Penrose because it found that the "greaser" policemen of Brownsville had really shot up the town. Roosevelt is right. The New York papers should be prohibited from publishing the details of the Thaw case. It costs too much to buy them all. nal deeds. Fire is very destructive when it breaks out in a tender place. The house owned and occupied by Brison Venson, at 158 Lafayette street, was considerably damaged by fire Thursday morning about 3 o'clock. The fire was well under way when the hose company arrived. The fire is said to have been caused by a defective flue. The loss has been estimated at $1,000, fully covered by insurance. "THE MERCHANT OF VENICE." On Friday of next week the Junior College Class of Fisk University will present the "Merchant of Venice" in the Fisk Memorial Chapel, commencing at 8 p. m. Much care, time and pains have been spent in preparation and practice towards the end of making the play the huge success that indications show it would be. Among the personnel are James A. Myers, of Lexington, Ky., in the role of Antonio, the merchant, and William Arthur Macintyre, of Port of Spain, Trinidad, B. N. I., as Bassanio, the friend and born companion of Antonio. The proceeds are to be devoted to the endowment fund of the Carnegie Library, and it is hoped that this fact, apart from the literary treat in store, will draw a representative gathering of the lovers of race progress.

We acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the National ee Sunday School Lesson Comment on the Interna- tional Lessons for 1907, published by the National Baptist Publishing Board under the auspices of the National Baptist Convention, The Commentary comprises 355 pages and is a complete study of the International Series of Sunday School Lessons for the current year. It is neatly arranged, well ed- ited and the mechanical construction is unsurpassed. The editors, Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL. D., and Rey. W. 8. Ellington, B. A., have shown them- selves equal to the oecaston. There is a nice article on Sunday school meth- ods by the editor, which shows that the first Sunday school organized in New York was by Mrs, Kate Ferguson, who was a Negro woman. The entire article is replete with valuable infor- mation, There is a four-color map of Palestine, The preface of the book is prepared by the scholarly Dr. W. S. Ellington, and throughout the entire volume will be found very elaborate expositions on the Sunday school les: sons. The introduction, the special topics, the truths gleaned from the lesson, with the questions and_ the primary teachings, are the most help ful we have seen. We congratulate these editors upon such a wonderfu production for Sunday schools. It is the only Baptist Sunday School Com mentary published in the Unitec States, and up to last year was thé | only Negro Commentary on the mark Jet.

BROS. SPORTING NEWS. The game between the Sophomore and the Outlaws, February 9, provoked the greatest interest from start to finish. The Sophomores had headed the list in percentage, and had they won this game there would have been no question as to their winning the pennant. The Outlaws, holding second position, were determined that the Sophomores should not win at any cost, and they started the game with some good playing, though at the end of the first half the score was five to two in favor of the Sophomores. The Outlaws spruced up again in the second half, and, with a minute and a half to play, score 10—10. Upshaw threw a basket from the field. Dawson, however, claimed that he had called "time out," and the referee sustained him in his contention. Upshaw's basket did not count, and when the half closed the score was still a tie. Then the fight began in earnest. Wade, who had played a very clean game from the beginning, fouled Brumfield, but Brumfield missed in an attempt at a free throw. Again the umpire's whistle called a foul on Wade, and this time Brumfield did not miss. But it takes two points to decide a tie, and a free throw counts but one. Boutte relieved the tension on both sides by throwing a beautiful basket from the field, making the score 12 to 11 in favor of the Outlaws. Sophomores. Position. Outlaws. Key . . . Forward . . .

White, manager of the Nashville Giants, is a very busy man these days, arranging the schedule for 1907. Mr. White traveled considerably during the fall of 1906 in the interest of the club and succeeded in making arrangements for a series of games in several cities of the South. At the earliest date possible he will meet Fisk and Walden in practice games, and also play the teams of the laboring towns. The tour through the South will begin April 15 and will last two weeks. Memphis, Chattanooga, Hot Springs and Pine Bluff will be the places they will visit. On their return they will be visited by the teams they meet on their tour. COASTING ACCIDENTS. There were several accidents last week on Park street during the brief coasting season, the most serious one being that which happened to Mrs. Pearl Smith, an account of which was printed in the Globe of last week. Miss Julia H. Williams was rendered unconscious for an hour or so, the result of a collision of sleds, one of which contained Mrs. Joseph Webster, Miss Julia H. Williams, Mr. Douglass, James Harding, R. Martin, Wesley Crutcher and a young lady from New York, who was also slightly injured about the head. The ladles were carried to the residence of Mr. Crutcher, on Phillips street, where their injuries were attended to. Eugene, the son of Mrs. Thomas Taylor, sprained his wrist Thursday afternoon while coasting. PUBLISHING BOARDS MEETS. For the first time this year a quorum was present at the regular meeting of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which met in the office of Secretary Boyd, on the second floor of the administration building of the institution, Tuesday morning, Feb. 12, 1907. Rev. C. H. Clark, Chairman of the Board, presided. Much important work was gone over. Their regular meetings are on the second Tuesday in each month, but owing to not having had a meeting in three months, the amount of work necessary to be accomplished could not be done in one day, so after considering many important matters pertaining to the institution and seeing that it was impossible to finish Tuesday, the meeting adjourned about 2:30 Tuesday afternoon, to meet again Thursday, February 14, and finish up its work. It is learned that the most important matter coming before the Board was that pertaining to the missionary work and the advisability of enlarging the quarters of the Board, which are unusually cramped. It is not learned just what steps toward improvements will be taken, as no plans have been formulated. Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., who was expected to attend this meeting, was not present, neither was Rev. G. William Ward, of Chattanooga, Tenn., who is a member of the Board. The latter sent a proxy. The meeting adjourned to meet on the second Tuesday in March. BENEFIT OF THE DAY HOME. The literary and musical at Clark Memorial Chapel, for the benefit of the Day Home, which was postponed on the 4th inst., on account of the inclement weather, will take place Saturday night, February 16. Tickets that were sold for the 4th will be used on the 16th. FISK CLUB. The Fisk Literary Club held a very interesting meeting Saturday, February 9th, at the home of Mrs. S. W. Crosthwaite. Miss D. A. Scribner, professor of English Literature in Fisk University, gave a most excellent and interesting talk on Rossetti as a poet and a painter. One of his most beautiful poems was read by Miss M. E. Berry, after which a vocal selection was given by Miss Lillian A. Bright. Mr. J. H. Moore (Prince Herrman), favored the club with two selections. His rendition of the "Leopard" was a rare treat indeed. Mrs. C. H. Phillips, president of the Club, was invited to address the W. C. T. U. of Davidson County at the Presbyterian Church (white). She was cordially received and appointed by that body to work up the interest in the colored W. C. T. U. of the State for the convention to be held here in November. This club feels very much interested in the Temperance work. SPECIAL B. Y. P. U. MEETING. The B. Y. P. U. of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church will hold an interesting meeting on Sunday, February 17. The usual hour of the meeting has been from 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock, but owing to not being able to finish the program on last Sunday it was decided to open this special meeting at 6 o'clock, giving two hours for the special program that is prepared. Mrs. Carrie Young will have charge of the musical end of the program. Mr. Arthur Haddox, the vice president, will preside. Scripture reading will be lead by Miss Mary Clark. The special discussion for the meeting will be a "doctrinal" subject. It was this subject that made the meeting so interesting last Sunday. The discussion will be led by Deacon S. —. Martin and Rev. Henry A. Boyd. The president, Mr. J. Blaine Boyd, will take sides in the discussion. A large crowd is already predicted for this most interesting meeting. every Monday and Friday nights from 8:30 to 9:30. Mr. Dock Liner will give instructions free of charge to all wishing to learn the new dances that are put on. Good order will be observed. Parents with children admitted free. DOCK LINER, Instructor.
