NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. VI. NEARLY $4,000 TUNER NORMAL TRUSTEES HOLD SUMMER MEETING HERE SOME CHANGES IN METHODS ANTICIPATED—OPENING SESSION A BUSY ONE—GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS ROUNDLY APPLAUDED—ADMONISHED DELEGATES TO BE LAWABIDING CITIZENS—REPORTS OF GRAND OFFICERS HEARD—ORDER MAKING RAPID PROGRESS—REPORTS SHOW UP WELL. The Trustees of Turner Normal College met Tuesday in a midsummer meeting in Bethel A. M. E. Church, on Tenth avenue, South. The meeting was called to order by Bishop H. B. Parks, of Chicago. In chosen words he reviewed the educational work of the African Methodist Church in Tennessee since 1908. It was clearly shown by the statement that greater strides have been made for education by the African Methodists in Tennessee during the last four years than has been done during the history of Turner Normal College. The reports from the various districts were very good, and total between $3,500.00 and $4,000.00. The Bishop expressed himself as being highly encouraged from the showing made by the conferences, and expressed a hope that by fall $5,900.00 will have been raised for the school. The meeting as a whole was very harmonious. The matter as to the location of Turner Normal was left in a tentative state. It will be remembered that a report was made some time ago that the school had been moved to Nashville, and it did seem for a while that such was the case, but a complication arose that made such a thing impossible now. There have always been two factions on this question; some have favored the present location, but it seems that a majority of the ministers favor a change. It was evident from the expressions of the several speakers on last Tuesday that the question of a location is not yet settled by any means, and it is believed by many that the school will yet be moved from its present home. A committee was appointed at the meeting on Tuesday composed of representatives from the four conferences in confection with Dr. J. A. Jones, the president, to look into the case more fully. The committee is composed of the following trustees: Dr. J. A. Jones. President of Turner Normal; Rev. S. L. Howard, of the Tennessee Conference; Rev. C. H. Shelto, of the West Tennessee Conference; Rev. J. H. Smith, of the East Tennessee Conference; and Rev. G. W. Porter, of the Central Tennessee Conference. These gentlemen will take up the matter and sift it thoroughly, and in their investigation they also will determine whether or not the trustees have the power to erect a new building at Shelbyville under the present charter. The people throughout the state and especially the members of the African Methodist Church, are deeply interested in the outcome of the school. One trustee was heard to advance the idea that in his judgment, it will be fair to the people to give them a chance to vote on a location. He suggested that each conference name a site if they so desire, and that the people as a whole, that is the members of the African Methodist denomination take a vote in their respective churches on the sites selected, and the one receiving the majority of votes be declared the permanent location of the school. The argument was raised that such a plan would have a two-fold effect. First, the people would be allowed to do that which is their right; since the support of the institution must come from the people, they ought to have some sayso about the same. Furthermore, the fact was advanced that such a campaign would show the people from one end of the state to the other the need of such an institution as Turner, and would educate them NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1911 to do their full duty towards the same. Several cities and towns have been bidding for this school for years; among them are Memphis, Clarksville, Nashville, and the present site, Shelbyville. The men from the western part of the state in which Memphis is located declare that if Turner Normal were located in that city it would get a larger support locally than it can from the whole state if located elsewhere. Clarksville has always loomed up as a strong bidder. At one time it looked like that hustling town would win, and an offer was made to the trustee Board to sell them a very desirable site, and the citizens and business men of Clarksville pledged liberal support to the institution, but the opportunity to get the site referred to was allowed to go by, and the men who were pushing Clarksville lost heart and gave up the fight. But since the matter has been opened again, and is in such an unsettled condition, it is believed that Clarksville will become a strong competitor with the other places that are seeking the school. It is not thought the change will be made in two or three years, but it seems to be the consensus of opinion that finally Shelbyville will lose Turner Normal College. EDITOR R. R. WRIGHT, JR., SAVES A. M. E. BOOK CONCERN IN PHILADELPHIA The culmination and final chapter of the financial troubles of the A. M. E. Book Concern of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which was levied on by the sheriff May 23 to satisfy the judgment of Mrs. Ruth M. Collett for $4,714.82, took place Wednesday, July 19, 1911, when Prof. R. R. Wright, Jr., the present managing editor of the Christian Recorder, settled the judgment for the sum of $1,800 out of his own pocket. The judgment of Mrs. Ruth M. Collett for the sum of $4,714.82 for debt and interest awarded by the Court of Common Pleas, was assigned to Editor Wright for the sum of one thousand eight hundred dollars. While it is not the full amount of the judgment it was agreed by all parties concerned that it should be adjusted on that t basis to the everlasting credit of Editor Wright, who in no wise was responsible for the debt incurred or judgment rendered. The church is indebted to him and his family for saving to the A. M. E. Church the Book Concern at 631 Pine street. this city, on Wednesday, July 19, 1911. The above clipped from "The Philadelphia Courant" will be pleasant reading to Negroes everywhere. A reproduction of the receipt given Editor Wright follows: RUTH M. COLLETT Executrix of JOHN H.

P. of Western Saving Fund and check of R. R. Wright for one thousand dollars on Citizens Trust Company of Savannah, which, when paid, will be in full settlement of debt interest and costs in above stated case: the writ of fi fa therein it to be stayed by plaintiff this day; upon payment of the said checks the judgment in the above case is to be marked by the plaintiff at plaintiff's cost to the use of R.

Strange as it may seem, it is nevertheless true the same corrupt influences that have been the cause of so much trouble within the First Episcopal District since it has been presided over by Bishop Wesley J. Gaines, was plainly evident throughout the entire trouble of the Book Concern Chicanery and low politics have figured largely in influencing support for or against Editor Wright, and since it has become a known fact that Bishop Gaines has announced his support for another candidate and not the present incumbent, Prof. Wright, and since there are no less than three announced candidates for manager of the Book Concern in the event the two offices are again divorced from each other as formerly, and they too are delegates from this conference, it is believed that it was the pur- (continued on Page 5.) KNIGHTS AND LADIES Large State Delegation Here. BISHOP CLARK CALLS MEETING TO ORDER—WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT SPOKEN—ACTION OF LAST MEETING OF BOARD RESINDED—LIVELY DISCUSSION OVER LOCATION OF SCHOOL—STILL STRONG SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF CHANGE—BELIEVED THAT SHELBYVILLE WILL FINALLY LOSE OUT. Woodlawn, Tenn., July 26.—The first annual session of the Grand Lodge of the Knights and Ladies of Honor convened here this morning, Grand Protector Rev. H. L. Peterson, presiding. The following officials were present: Rev. H. L. Peterson, Grand Protector, Memphis; Mrs. M. E. McBride, Grand Vice Protector, Stanton; Mrs. Sarah Beard, Grand Past Protector, Ripley; Rev. Beverly Harwell, Grand Chaplain, Phelan; Dr. R. S. Fields, Grand Secretary, Mason; Prof. E. E. Harrell, Grand Guide, Brownsville; John Bass, Grand Treasurer, Brownsville; Miss Anna McBride, Grand Guardian, Keeling; Miss Emma Joe Cockrill, Grand Secretary Treasurer Endowment, Nashville. Trustees—F. E. McLin, Keeling; L. Pettigrew, Decaturville; John McLin, Stanton. Quite a large delegation from over the state is in attendance. The meeting is a very earnest one and promises to be of much interest to the fraternal world, as new methods touching the endowment feature will be launched. Modern ideas will be promulgated and every effort made to steer the craft clear of the hidden breakers, which has wrecked so many lodges. Miss Emma Joe Cockrill, of this city, one of the leading members of the Grand Lodge, stated that the work during the past year has been very encouraging as all the subordinate lodges were very prompt with their dues and endowments. The increase in membership has been very encouraging. New lodges are springing into existence all over the state. The people of Woodlawn are extending every courtesy to the incoming delegates. The welcome addresses delivered evinced the fact that not merely empty words were spoken but that the people meant exactly what they said. The first day's session was devoted to the appointment of the usual committees and other initial matters. The annual address of the Grand Protector told of the rapid strides the order is making in Tennessee and how the Grand Lodge had redeemed every promise made to the membership. He told of the loyalty of the subordinate lodges to the Grand body. He concluded his address with a fervid appeal to the assemblage, admonishing them to obey God and the laws of their country. "Do this," said he, "and the order will live throughout the ages." His perioration was a great effort. The report of Dr. R. S. Fields, Grand Secretary, was read and listened to with much attention. The order has increased over two hundred per cent during the past year. Many new lodges are in process of formation. The report of Mr. John Bass, Grand Treasurer, was then read, showing the finances of the Grand Lodge to be in a healthy condition. The official whose report elicited much encomium was that of Miss Emma Joe Cockrill, of Nashville, Grand Secretary-Treasurer off the endowment bureau. She gave facts and figures in a very convincing manner, held the attention of her hearers and was roundly applauded when she concluded her reading. This Grand Lodge was organized at Stanton last January, with 12 lodges. By persistent efforts it has grown to be a very healthy youngster with every promise of attaining rap- id maturity. Its members are noted for their wealth, refinement and good citizenship. Merchants, farmers, doctors are enrolled. NEGRO NORMAL MAY GET PART OF THE FEDERAL FUND The State Negro Normal School at Nashville is likely to benefit under the action of the State Board of Education Tuesday, in authorizing the Secretary of State to confer with the Secretary of the Interior at Washington respecting the acts of Congress in 1862, 1887 and 1890 appropriating money from the sale of public lands to agricultural schools and schools of mechanical arts in the Southern States. Under these acts and acts amendatory thereto, a denominational school for colored children at Knoxville has for several years been largely supported from this Government fund. At the last session of the General Assembly Representative Williams, of Hamilton County, succeeded in passing a bill authorizing the Secretary of State to take this matter up with the Secretary of the Interior, with a view to diverting this fund from this denominational school, that, under the law, is said to have no real right to receive it, and apply it for the benefit of the State Negro Normal School, which is an agricultural and mechanical institution. Mr. Ben Carr got behind this movement during the session of the Legislature and helped to have the measure passed. Mr. Carr has been made superintendent of the school farm. Under the legislative act it is thought to have a fair division of the fund appropriated to both white and colored state schools fulfilling the requirements of the acts of Congress. At the night session matters pertaining to the contracts for building the Negro Normal School, to be situated on Centennial boulevard, one-half mile beyond the terminus of the Jefferson street line, occupied, the attention of the members of the board. Aobut $75,000 will be expended in the erection of the buildings and $25,000 in furnishings. To the thirty-five acres has been acted ninety-five acres contiguous to be used for farming purposes. President-elect W. J. Hale, of Chattanooga, will begin the work of organization September 1, and it is expected the school will be opened next summer or fall. The secretary of the state has been requested to report the opening of the Negro Normal to the Secretary of the Interior in order that the school may receive its proata of funds under the act of Congress, passed in 1862. The portion of this federal fund for whites has been going to the University of Tennessee a agricultural department, and the Negro fund to a school near Knoxville. It is estimated the proata to go to the Negro Normal will be about $12,000. Those members of the board attending the meeting were S. H. Thompson, Athens; Superintendent J. L. Brooks, Johnson City; R. L. Bynum, Jackson; Harry Luck and J. W. Brister, Nashville. EQUAL NUMBER OF WHITES AND BLACKS IN GALLATIN SCHOOLS Gallatin, Tenn., July 21.—The compilation of the scholastic census has just been completed by Square Geo. N Guthrie, and shows there are the following children within the corporation of Gallatin between the ages of six and twenty-one: White males, 170; white females, 194; total number of whites, 364. Colored males, 163; colored females, 201; total number of colored, 364; just exactly the same number of white and colored. Of this number there are 306 white children who can read and write and only 183 colored. According to Square Guthrie's figures the number of heads of families is as follows: White, 167; colored, 157. During the period of one year, commencing June 1, 1910, there were fifty-one births and forty-six deaths within the corporate limits. MAYOR HOWSE STARTS A RE- LIEF FUND. A relief fund for the families of the sufferers in the disaster of Monday has been opened, Mayor Howse being the first contributor with $25 as his offering. The chief sufferer is the family of Jim Polk, colored, who leaves a wife and seven small children. The usual improvidence prevails, even the maeger burial benefit which he carried for a time being allowed to lapse. The Tennessee and American will be glad to acknowledge the receipt of any sum, however small, and transmit same to the proper channel of relief. The following is the fund: Mayor Howse ..... $25 No. 30 WALLS OF BUILDING GOLLAPSE JAMES POLK, VICTIM OF CATASTROPHE Mitchell, White, Seriously Injured.

Dead—Jim Polk. Injured—W. S. Mitchell, seriously; Albert Crockett, white, cut about head. One laborer killed, one white man seriously injured and other work- man more or less bruised, are the known results of the sudden collage of the large three-story build- ing on the southwest corner on Broadway and First avenue Monday afternoon shortly after 2 o'clock. The dead and wounded recovered so far are: Dead—James Polk. Wounded—W. S. Mitchell, white, and Albert Crockett. Loaded beyond the danger point, with oats and wheat, the second and third floors of the building occupied by the McKay and Reese Grain Company for storage gave way under the weight of tons and fell through to the first floor, occupied by the Arcade Milling Company. Crashing to the ground with a roar and throwing a column of dust into the air, the entire structure, with the exception of twenty feet in front, was completely demolished. The falling roof, floors and walls, after breaking through to the first floor, fell south along First avenue, the topmost bricks reaching out more than forty feet into the street. No intimation was had by those in the building that the walls were falling until they had started down. The escape of many of the workmen in the destroyed building was almost miraculous. Several leaped to the doors of the building upon hearing the first crash of the falling walls, and were saved. One buried beneath tons of wreckage, grain and brick was so guarded by the broken timbers as to be still alive when the rescuers dug him from the ruins. One George Waddey, caught beneath tons of grain, drew his knife and cutting the sacks from over his head, had almost reached freedom when the rescuers found him. Immediately after the building collapsed a fire alarm was turned in from box 12, at Broadway and Second avenue, and the uptown fire laddies answering the call quickly began the work of saving the lives of those in the wreckage. Chief Rozetta, together with Mayor Howse, who was among the first to arrive on the scene, directed the movements of the rescusers. A large number of spectators, volunteering their assistance, gave aid in the work. On the first floor of the building, occupied in the rear by the Arcade Milling Company, were a number of employees of the mill. All escaped when the building collapsed but W. S. Mitchell, white, foreman of the milling company, who was caught in the ruins and was dug out alive by the rescusers. He was badly bruised about the body, his right hip dislocated, but is not in a critical condition, according to the attendants at the city hospital. The work of rescuing the men imprisoned in the ruins was hurried until the body of Polk was recovered, about 4 o'clock. As this accounted for all the workmen known to have been in the building at the time of the tragedy the greater number of those helping in the work then discontinued their efforts, but the employees of the McKay-Reese Company worked on until nearly 10 o'clock.

It was valued at from $40,000 to $50,000 and was insured. The insurance was for fire and not for accident, however, hence the loss will fall on the owner. ONE FATALITY RESULTS. James Polk loses his life in the catastrophe. The only fatality resulting from the catastrophe was the death of James Polk, working on the second floor of the building. The corpse of the dead was pulled from the wreck about 4 o'clock and was crushed and mangled almost beyond recognition. His neck was broken and his arms and legs were mashed to a pulp. George Waddey, who escaped unscathed from the ruins, was standing by Polk when the walls collapsed, and he remembers hearing him cry out as he was struck. After Mitchell was taken from the ruins it was thought at first that no one else was within the building and the authorities began to congratulate themselves on the fact that no fatalities had resulted. They were informed, however, by Waddey that Polk was in the building, and again they began work on the great pile of debris, hoping against hope that the man might still be alive. However, about 4 o'clock, the feet of the man were discovered, and a short while later his body was extricated. His body was then brought to the ground and identified. ALBERT CROCKETT HEARD CRACKING SOUND AND THEN WAS HIT. Albert Crockett was painfully cut and bruised about the head, the wounds bleeding freely. He was working with Waddey and Polk, on the second floor, when the accident happened. He was soon released, and taken to the basement of the McKav-Reese building, where a friend washed his wounds and gave him attention. The ambulance from the city hospital came promptly and took him to the physicians, where his wounds were dressed. He was not dangerously hurt. "I heard the floor above cracking," said Crockett, "and in a moment the weight from above was on me. A number of things seemed to hit me on the head and I saw stars. I was senseless for a few minutes and was rescued by those working for our safety." HAD NO HINT OF CONDITIONS—BUILDING INSPECTOR E. A. LAURENT TALKS OF DAY'S DISASTER. Building Inspector E. A. Laurent was on the scene of the disaster soon after it occurred. He directed the pulling down of the walls. When asked for a statement on the catastrophe, he said: "The floors were overloaded. That is evident. Nothing else was the matter. The floors have been vacant until recently, and my attention had not been called to their condition. Had I reason to suspect that such overloading was going on, then I would have investigated the matter and would have ordered a lightening of the load. The joists and warrs were ample for any ordinary strain, and if I had examined the building before it was loaded I would, of course, have found nothing to censure. We all deeply regret the loss of life and the damage to the building." GOEORGE WADDEY, LABOREER, ESCAPED WITH SMALL INJURY. George Waddey was one of three employed by Mackay, Reese & Co. on the two floors devoted to their granary. He was on the second floor at the time the crash came, in the act of wheeling his truck for a trip to the rear of the room for another load of oats in sacks. On the same floor with him were Albert Crockett and Jim Polk. Waddey was caught by a load of sacks on one side, but had the presence of mind to draw his knife and begin to cut the sacks open to let the grain run out. He was nearly released when help came. Not far away from him was James Polk, who was killed. Waddey says he heard the cries of his companion, the sound growing fainter and fainter until the voice was finally hushed. In speaking of his experience, Waddey said in substance: "I was on the second floor rolling a truck. I was about fifteen feet from the rear wall, and had just NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1911.

In both instances the crashing of a building was responsible for the loss of life, no fire being connected with either tragedy. This time the opening was made in the wall towards the street, affording easy view, while in the Fall building the street walls were not involved in the crash. It is just possible that a body may be in the debris on First street, and this gives an added interest to the pile of brick, mortar and grain which is still there.

FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1911. AN ABJECT BEING. Last Saturday evening one Henry McGuire, a full grown man, cut a little three-year-old girl with a knife. The child was cut on the face, it is said, from the ear almost to the mouth, and is marked in a way that will follow it to its grave. The man who did the cutting was a Negro, and the child he cut was an Italian. The man claims that he was running through an alley, that a dog ran after him, and that in cutting at the dog with his knife, he cut the child. He claims that he did not see the child, but his actions after the incident were such as to cast a shadow of doubt over any statement he may make. This was a horrible deed, and the man who committed it will forever be looked upon with disdain by all right thinking people. Some Negroes have shown an inclination to sympathize with this man, but this sympathy was born of prejudice, pure and simple, and it is a pity that we have a condition of affairs in this country that makes men have such a prejudice that they lose sight of reason; but when any sane person reflects for a moment, they are compelled to say that the man who committed this deed is not deserving of sympathy from any source. It may be true that McGuire was cutting at a dog, but can it be true that he was even justified in slashing so recklessly with a knife; and does it seem reasonable that a man would see the dog and not see the child? For if he was running through the alley, the dog must have come out of the yard to attack him, or if the dog was in the alley and was so close to the child that in cutting at the dog he cut the child, the child must have been in the alley also; and what kind of eyes can they be that can see one object in a given place, and fail to see another object that is just as conspicuous? This is a deplorable affair, and it should be looked at from more angles than one. As to the man who did the cutting, any parent or any person with an ounce of reason would not hesitate for a moment to say, "away with the man." We do not mean by this that he should be lynched or that one lawless act be committed against him, but that the firm hand of the law should take this man and put him where he will never be allowed to again come in contact with society, for he is, to say the least, a reckless and dangerous character, and would be a menace to the peace of any community. THE TEXAS ELECTION Down in Texas a battle has just been fought between the Wets and Drys, and from the dispatches it seems that the Wets have won; and as it is always said by the prohibition crowd that the Negro is charged with the result, "eighty-five" percent of the Negroes of Texas voted NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1911. for whiskey, brandy, wine and beer, and whatever other kind of fire water they have in that section of the country. The Negroes of Tennessee have heard a similar yarn before, and they are not surprised that the prohibition crowd in Texas should make the same statement, but justice will some day be given the Negroes of the South, and then it will be known who it is that spends millions of dollars to keep the demon "rum" in the South. We are not familiar enough with the conditions in Texas to say authoritatively whether the charge made is true or untrue, but we do not believe it is true. We know enough of the Negroes of Texas to be able to say that they are intelligent, industrious and progressive, and it is a fact that rum and progress do not go hand in hand. Therefore, we are persuaded to believe that the charge made against our Texas brethren is exaggerated at least fifty per cent. Some Negroes drink whiskey, gamble and do every mean thing under the sun. This fact is known to everybody. On the other hand, some Negroes do not drink whiskey, and live upright lives and make good citizens in their communities. This is known to be true by the worst enemies of the Negro race. If Tennessee can be taken as a criterion, it is safe to say, that at least 50 per cent of the Negroes of the South are prohibitionists. It is a fact beyond contradiction that had not the independent and republican factions received fully half of the Negro votes, in our last state elections, they would not have elected a single man to any office in the state; but the prohibitionists in Tennessee are just as the prohibitionists are in Texas. They have not the courage nor the manliness to admit that their cause was saved by the Negro vote. It is a very unfair thing, and the prohibition movement will never be successful until the leaders of that movement are willing to give credit to whom credit is due. The browbeating method adopted by the prohibitionists of Tennessee, or any other state, for that matter, will only tend to drive the Negroes away from them, who at heart really desire to support their cause, and so long as politics and not prohibition in fact is allowed to be the fundamental principle upon which the fight is made, so long will the cause that is so righteous and so deserving fail to get the support it so much deserves. THE FLIPPANT POLICE. Several difficulties have happened between policemen and civilians in this city recently that are deplorable. The policeman is the guardian of peace, and it is the duty of every citizen to keep the peace, but being a peace officer does not license the policeman to club and shoot people at will, and the police force of Nashville, or at least some members of the force, need to be made to understand their real duty as officers of the law. On Monday of this week a man who is well known in this city, and who has for years been engaged in business here, was unmercifully beaten by a policeman for no cause whatever. It is said that the policeman had a grudge against the man on account of a misunderstanding between them before he was put on the police force. If this is true, it makes the assault the more disgraceful and cowardly. It has reached the point in Nashville when no one can feel absolutely safe near a policeman. This does not mean that all of our policemen are brutal, but so many of them abuse the authority they have until the people have come to feel a fear for all of them. There ought to be a remedy for this trouble. Nashville as a whole is the best and most peaceful city in the South. We say this advisedly, and we have no hesitancy in asserting that the best people here do not countenance the actions of some of the policemen, and if the proper steps are taken, the habit of beating and shooting that is practiced so generally by the policemen can be broken up. There should be no delay on the part of the citizens to take steps to correct this evil, for if allowed to continue, it may result in serious happenings. Sargeant Geo. Smith, of the police force, again added laurels to his crown when on last Saturday evening he refused to allow a prisoner in his charge to be intimidated by a set of street car hoodlums. Men like Sargeant Smith are never overpowered by mobs. The A. M. E. Church was saved from a national disgrace on the 19th of this month by Prof. R. R. Wright, Jr., when, with his personal means, he sled the suit brought against the Book Concern in Philadelphia. Prof. Wright's church owes him an everlasting debt of gratitude. Winter in July is the latest we have for the season. Quite inconvenient for the fellow who traded his winter shirts to the rag man. TENNESSEE BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION ELECTS OR- FICERS.

The President has appointed Reed Paige Clark, of Vermont, as general receiver of customs for the Republic of Liberia. This is literally true because the Liberian government has indicated that any person selected by the President would receive the appointment. Mr. Clark has been familiarizing himself with the details of custom administration and will start for his post in September. The amount of the loan to Liberia is $1,500,000, the capital being supplied by international agreement by American, British, French and German bankers. In addition to the American receiver general, there will be customs receivers of the four nationalities, selected by their own governments. The contract will become operative as ratified by the legislature at Monrovia. The State Department feels that in lending its assistance to the consumption of this loan an old excuse for the occupation of Liberian territory, which might have become permanent, was taken from the hands of covetous colonial officials and the little republic given a chance to preserve its American heritage of freedom and independence. A. N. JOHNSON, JR., MAKES GOOD. The many friends of Hon. A. N. Johnson will be pleased to know that his son, A. N. Johnson, Jr., who graduated during April from Meharry Medical College, and who has served as resident physician during the summer at Provident Hospital, successfully passed the recent State Medical Examination and licensed under the laws of Missouri, to practice medicine. He studied anatomy under his father and passed the Alabama State Board of Embalmers two years ago and with a practical knowledge of anatomy has caused him to begin specializing in surgery. He has assisted in some difficult cases during the summer in St. Louis hospital. A. M. E. DISTRICT CONFERENCE Hartsville, Fenn., July 21.

THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB OF PEARL HIGH SCHOOL. The Girls' Glee Club of Pearl High School will hold the boards at the Skydome Wednesday and Thursday nights, August 9th and 10th. The Glee Club made quite a hit during last commencement and the encolums heaped upon them since have served to force a permanent organization, and under the management of Miss Murrell they will render a concert worth while at the Skydome the nights mentioned. The idea promulgated some time ago, that Pearl High School will help some worthy student pursue a university course obtains in this case. The proceeds will go to help a young man graduate of Pearl High School to pursue a university course. Nashville believes in this spirit, and the Skydome, no doubt, will be crowded each night. Tickets will be on sale this week at A. N. Johnson's, The Skydome, One-Cent and People's Savings Banks. The admission will be 5, 10 and 15 cents. PRISONER COMMITS SUICIDE. Special to the Globe.

Watson and Hurst and Prof. Hawkins, to withhold their financial support, but men who were financially able, present at the Preachers' Meeting Monday was to let the Book Concern go to the wall in order to discredit the fitness of Editor Wright as either editor or manager of the "Christian Recorder" and Book Concern.

JACK JOHNSON AT HIS SAME OLD TRICKS. London, July 25.—It was charged in sporting circles that Jack Johnson is planning to lay down to Bombardier Wells and permit him to win the world's heavyweight title in their coming fight. It is openly alleged by men "in the know," that the preliminary negotiations between Johnson and Wells' representatives have taken on many suicotic aspects. Johnson, it is rumored, is willing to "lay down" to the Englishman because he is sore on the way he has been treated by American sporting men. He also realizes that he is getting along in years and wants to clean up as much money as possible in a lump. Incidentally, it is said the promoters expect to take in a million dollars at the gate by holding the fight in a giant stadium which will seat 200,000 people. The fight is to be pulled off by a syndicate supposedly headed by Jas. White, of Manchester, a well known promoter. The identity of the members of the syndicate has been care- ```markdown ``` NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1911. fully guarded, but it was learned today that the real backers are Terrah Hooley, world famous promoter, now in bankruptcy because of the failure of some of his biggest schemes, and H. Bottomley, editor of the well known weekly, John Bull. Bottomley, facing libel verdicts amounting to $157,000, is said to hope with Hooley to recoup his failing fortunes from the Wells-Johnson fight. They are alleged to have offered Johnson not only all of the purse for the fight, but also a large percentage of the moving picture revenues, expected to prove the gold mine should the Englishman win. Although copies of an alleged contract between the men have been published, showing that Johnson is to get $20,000 and Wells $10,000, it is now charged that both men are tied up with private contracts. Wells' share under the reported agreement is to be a speculation m futures. It is pointed out that he will have a chance in any event, as Johnson's theatrical season runs almost up to the moment they are to enter the ring. Johnson is fifty pounds over weight and his easy manners of life and indulgence have softened him greatly since he arrived on this side. According to the general gossip in sporting circles, if Wells wins the title he will risk it only against English and Australian clubs and make a fortune, while refusing to meet American challengers. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE To the Members of the National Negro Business League and Their Friends: There are few, if any, more important gatherings that take place during the year among our people than that of the National Negro Business League. This year the national body assembles at Little Rock, Ark., on August 16th, 17th and 18th. The time has come when throughout this country we must seriously consider the opportunities that are before us for getting property and for the development of business enterprises. This kind of development must go hand in hand with educational and religious growth. If we do not as a race thoroughly plant ourselves on the foundation of property and business during this generation it will become increasingly difficult for this to be done as the years go by. The program as outlined by the Corresponding Secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, for the Little Rock meeting, is an attractive and instructive one. Some of the strongest men and women of our race will be present and take part in the meeting. In reality, it will be a great national coming together of the strongest forces of the race from all parts of the United States. No person who can possibly do so should fail to be present. Every man and woman engaged in business will find this an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with other persons engaged in the same line of endeavor. They will get many suggestions that will enable them to improve their present businesses. Many young men and women who have not hitherto entered the world of business will find this an opportunity to secure suggestions as well as encouragement that will enable them to wisely begin a business career. Aside from these considerations, every man owes it to himself as well as to his family to take a few days of rest during the summer to take an outing, to have a vacation. I urge not only that our friends come, but that they bring their wives. Aside from the program which the Secretary has arranged, the local committee at Little Rock has spared no paints to make the stay of all delegates and friends in Little Rock attractive from a social point of view. There are many entertainment planned, including a trip to Hot Springs. We are sparing no effort to make this the largest and most important meeting that the League has ever held. A special effort is being made in different parts of the country to get Pullman or Tourist car parties. For example, arrangements are being perfected whereby special Pullman cars will take the Alabama, the Louisiana, the Texas, the Illinois, and combined, the Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio delegations to Little Rock. I very much hope the same plan will be followed by other states. One other attractive and important feature will be that Oklahoma is to have a special day to be known as Oklahoma Day. Few of our people realize to what extent the colored people of Oklahoma are making progress. We doubtless shall have a very large delegation from that new state. Those expecting to attend the meeting should correspond at once with Mr. W. M. Alexander, Chairman Committee on Homes, 504 1-2 West 9th street, Little Rock, Ark., in order that they may have boarding places assigned to them before they get to Little Rock. BOOKER T.
