UPRISING
BLACKS PLAN TO OVER-THROW GOVERNMENT
Tenth Anniversary of Independence.
Principal Trouble at Sagua La Grande in Santa Clara—Situation Considered a Difficult One—Government Troops Rushed to Scene—Situation Resembles That of 1906.
Havana, May 20.—There is no room for doubt tonight of the existence of a Negro conspiracy extending to all the provinces of the island, with the apparent attention of taking arms against the Government to-day, which was the tenth anniversary of Cuban independence.
The Negroes appear to have been aroused to rebellion by the denial of what seems to them their just political rewards for service just rendered in the war of independence, in which they constituted a great majority of the Cuban forces.
The feeling against the Government has been intensified by a law denying the Negroes the right to organize a political party.
The principal trouble is in the vicinity of Sagua La Grande, in Santa Clara Province, and Cruces, where two armed parties are operating, and in Oriente province, where several bands are converging in Guantanamo city with the apparent purpose of making a display of force at that place.
The rural guards succeeded in dispersing one small party and capturing two others.
The situation is considered sufficiently severe for the Government to dispatch a column of 1,200 men from Camp Columbia, composed of cavalry and infantry, with field and machine guns bound for Santa Clara and Oriente provinces.
Near Sagua La Grande a squad of rurales had an engagement with an armed band of Negroes. One of the guards was killed and the Negroes made their escape. From Cruces comes the report that residents of the surrounding country are fleeing to the city for shelter. The insurgents are reported to have held up a locomotive and stolen many horses.
At Mariano, eight miles from Havana, the rural guards exchanged shots with a party of Negroes, capturing one of them and also nine rifles.
The Secretary of the Interior, Senor Bru, said to night that there was no doubt about the widespread racial conspiracy, which the Government is determined to deal with drastically, but that up to the present the only danger points are Santa Clara and Oriente.
The situation resembles that preceding the last revolution, when the Negroes in February, 1906, conspired to make a simultaneous attack on all the rural guard posts, but only attacked that at Guanabacoa, the guard of which was massacred. This was a prelude to the general revolution in August of that year.
A late dispatch received by the Government from Leijas, Santa Clara, says that a Negro band headed by Simon Armenteros destroyed the telegraph station at the Santisma plantation at Trinidad, in Santa Clara, and also burned a bridge of the railway from Sagua La Grande to Cienfuegos. Armenteros declares that it is his intention to do his utsot to destroy foreign property.
DR. ROMAN WITHDRAWS FROM THE RACE.
Specia to the Globe.
Kansas City, Mo., May 20.—To close what appeared an open door to the bishopric the General Conference-to-day elected a layman Financial Secretary, but decided that the number of important places conceded to the laymen already must not be increased if the ministry are to keep control of the church. The Review election came last and the cry was raised that the laymen have had enough. Do they want everything? It was evident that the ministers thought it ought to go to a minister. Dr. C. V. Roman, the leading candidate for the honor, not desiring to bring an estrangement voluntarily withdrew from the race before that time for the election. The Roman supporters entered a vigorous protest against his withdrawal, but he would not be moved from what he believed to be for the best interest of his church.
NEW BISHOPS ORDAINED.
Kansas City, Mo., May 22.—Four newly elected bishops were ordained today by the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in session here. They are: Bishop John Hurst, of Baltimore; William D. Chappelle, Sumter, S. C.; Joshua H. Jones, Wilberforce, Ohio; and James M. Conner, Little Rock, Ark.

BOOSTER CAMPAIGN STARTS WITH VIGOR. Grand Chancellor Issues Circular.
Encouraging Reports Coming in All ready—Enthusiasm Runs High— Getting Ready for Grand Lodge —All Parts of the State on the Move—Big Delegation to Grand Lodge.
The Knights of Pythias are going into their booster campaign with renewed energy since the granting of the writ of error by the supreme court of the United States Citations have been served upon the complainants and were accepted by them with good grace. Grand Chancellor Crawford has issued notices to the lodges explaining matters. It is expected that

each district deputy will lend his best efforts towards making a whirlwind finish of the booster campaign by the time the Grand Lodge meets in Memphis in July. Already encouraging reports are being sent in by the various deputies over the state. It seems from what can be learned that the order is enthusiastic over the outlook. It is to be hoped that a representative to the Grand Lodge will be sent from every subordinate lodge in the state as this will be the biggest grand lodge meeting ever held in the state. West Tennessee is doing herculean work in organizing lodges and courts. The other divisions of the state are doing all that can be done for the whirlwind finish. The Knights of Pythias will continue to grow and prosper. As occasion and opportunity arise they will be taken advantage of for the benefit of the membership. It will continue to be the aim to make the order of the individual whether in or out of the order with Friendship, Charity and Benevolence to all. The order has malice toward none.

ROOSEVELT WINS IN OHIO IN WALK.
25,000 Majority Is Verdict.
Taft Only Got Ten District Delegates
—Will Carry Fight to the Convention —Fighting Hopeless Battle—Harmon Beats Wilson Decisively—Has Control of Convention.
Columbus, O., May 22.—According to returns in hand tonight from approximately 4,500 of the 5,192 precincts in the state, Col. Theodore Roosevelt's delegates to the national republican convention carried yesterday's Ohio primaries by a plurality of about 25,000 votes. It now seems scarcely possible that final returns will change the number of district delegates for either side by more than one or two. The best figures available tonight show that Roosevelt has thirty-two of the fortry-two district delegates selected yesterday and that President Taft has ten.
Later returns from the democratic presidential preference primary give Woodrow Wilson a fighting chance for one or two more delegates, but his exact standing will not be known until belated rural returns are in. Governor Harmon, however, practically is assured a complete delegation of forty-eight delegates to the Baltimore convention. His lead now gives him control of the state democratic convention, which will select six delegates at large. Also, it is said the convention will provide for the unit rule, which will force the Wilson delegates, selected by districts yesterday, to vote for the Ohio executive.
The delegates-at-large situation in the republican party will not be known or settled until June 3, when the state republican convention meets here. Taft leaders claim they will control the state convention and designate the delegates-at-large. But Roosevelt managers declared late returns show the number of Taft delegates to the state convention to be dwindling instead of increasing, as was announced early today.
Fight Not Over.
There is no question that the Taft Roosevelt fight will be carried on to the floor of the state convention. In only twenty-three of the eighty-eight counties in the state were delegates to the state convention chosen. In the remaining counties the delegates will be named by county conventions.
Even in the matter of district delegates an official count will be necessary to determine exact results. An instance of this sort arose today in the Thirteenth congressional district, where late returns indicate that the district will be divided almost evenly between Taft and Roosevelt delegates and Harmon and Wilson. Early figures gave the two delegates in this district on the republican ticket to Mr. Taft. Colonel Roosevelt may now get one of the delegates and thus increase his total of district delegates to thirty-three. This would leave Mr. Taft nine delegates.
An analysis tonight shows the Roosevelt strength was not confined to any particular section of the state or to any particular class of citizens. He carried mining and industrial sections and some of the oldest and most conservative urban communities in the state. Added to these was much strength among the farmers. In Adams county, where more than 1,500 voters were disfranchised not long ago for vote selling. Roosevelt had a considerable plurality. A town with a prophetic name, White House, in Lucas county, gave Roosevelt twenty-one votes and Taft five. Roosevelt managers seized upon this

People Glad of Opportunity to Give- Outlook Most Promising—Councilman Harris Gives His Views About the Matter—Believes it a Move in the Right Direction
The idea advanced that the Negroes of this city raise $5,000 toward the amount necessary to purchase a site for the library building, is meeting with great favor. The committee appointed by the Board of Trade is at work on the plans which will probably be perfected at the meeting tonight. Councilman Harris, who is the author of the scheme, had
REV. JULIAN C. CALDWELL, D. D.
Re-elected Secretary Allen Christian Endeavor Department.
the following to say when approached on the subject by a Globe representative:
"The proposition to raise five thousand dollars for a library fund, undertaken by the Colored Board of Trade as indicated by resolutions passed by that organization some few days ago, is in my judgment the right move in the right direction and at the right time. My understanding is that this fund is to go towards purchasing a site upon which to erect the library building, the money for which has been so generously offered by Mr. Carnegie, and has been accepted with conditions attached by the city of Nashville through the City Council.
I believe that I state the rule when I say that the custom is to have the site donated by some large hearted philanthropic citizen of the municipality to which such gifts as that mentioned above are made. This rule was followed in the case of our present library and I am informed that it will be followed in respect to the proposed branch library for the white citizens of our city. Now, I venture to suggest that the colored citizens of Nashville are willing and ready to emulate the good example set by their white neighbors. The only thing standing in the way is their poverty. It remains for the Board of Trade to point out how this can be done in spite of this condition. It seems to me that the Board of Trade is in a fair way to meet this condition when it calls upon all of its colored citizens of Nashville to contribute each one his "mite" so that all together can do what one (Continued on Page 4)
BISHOP JOSHUA A. JONES, D. D.
Ohio.
DR. JONES STILL PRESIDENT
DR. JONES STILL PRESIDENT
IS ELECTED ANNUALLY BY TRUSTEES.
A Meeting Will Be Held In June.
Matter of President will be Taken Up
—Believed Dr. Jones will be Retained—Strong Favorite of Tennessee—Other Matters to be Considered by Trustees
—May Move School.
Since the election of General Conference officers at the A. M. E. Conference at Kansas City a deal of speculation has been indulged in by the people in Tennessee as to whether or not Dr. J. A. Jones would be retained as president of Turner Normal College. Entering the contest for connectional honors of his Church did not in any way effect Dr. Jones' position at the school. He is elected annually by the Trustee Board, which will meet sometime in June. It is presumed that the new Bishop of this district will call an early meeting of the Board as there are important matters to be taken into consideration, and it is very likely that at this meeting the election of president will be taken up. Dr. Jones is very popular in this state and it is the consensus of opinion that he will be retained at the head of the college.
Another matter that will engage the attention of the Board at the coming meeting is whether or not the matter of erecting a building in Shelbyville will be started, or be held over until after the lawsuit against the institution is settled. It will be remembered that a real estate company brought suit against the institution charging them with damage in a real estate deal. At the annual session last year the Trustee Board voted to move the school to Nashville, but upon investigation it was learned that they acted beyond their power, as they are not delegated the authority to sell property, but are merely custodians of the institution. Before looking into this matter thoroughly a tentative agreement was entered into with the real estate company and a forfeiture was deposited. It is claimed by some of the leading legal talent in the state that since the action of the Trustees was illegal the agreement cannot be binding, and further that the real estate company suing can be compelled to pay back the money that was forfeited.
Another matter that is agitating the African Methodists all over the state is the outrageous lynching that occurred in Shelbyville a few months ago, when three Negroes who were charged with having murdered a white man were mobbed in the eyes of the court in that town. They had been taken to the courthouse for a preliminary hearing and when the officers started to fail with them a mob shot and beat them to death. This outrageous affair has had a wonderful effect on the people. No one seems willing to send their children to a town where such horrifying outrages are perpetrated, and it is believed in many that the school will ultimately be removed to some other point.
All of the western part of the state are in favor of moving the school to some central point, and a large constituency in the central section are also of the same opinion. If such a step is taken it is problematical just where the school will be located. It is claimed by some that a point near Nashville would be most desirable, while on the other hand, Clarksville is a strong contender. At one time the citizens of that town made the most flattering offer to the school they have ever received, but for some cause it was not accepted. Later Nashville was decided on and probably would have been successful had

Prof. Bryant and Dr. Caldwell Returned to Nashville—Layman Made Secretary of Finance—Dr. Roman Withdraws from Race —Meeting Great Success— Adjournment Today.
Kansas City, Mo., May 17.—The African M. E. Conference elected four bishops yesterday afternoon and last night, amid scenes of joyful disorder and outbursts of emotion. The session lasted from early yesterday morning until 9 o'clock last night.
The new bishops are: Dr. John Hurst, Washington; Dr. W. D. Chappelle, Columbia, S. C.; Dr. J. H. Conner, Little Rock, Ark.; Dr. J. H. Jones, Wilberforce, O.
The three leading candidates were: Drs. W. W. Beckett, of New York, D. P. Roberts, of Chicago, and I. N. Ross, of Washington, D. C.
Though long the arena of great political gatherings, Convention Hall never held such a scene of wild enthusiasm as that which attended the final balloting on bishops last night. It was with difficulty that the announcement of the vote 'was made. The bishops hammered the tables with their gavels and sent men through the crowd constantly attempting to keep order, but the emotions of the victorious were not to be restrained.
When the tally sheets showed the election of a favorite, his friends and supporters would rush to his side and carry him bodily to the platform. This was attended by cheering that could be heard blocks away. Churchmen fell on each other's necks and cried for joy. Others climbed on chairs and threw their hats into the air. Many sang, others jumped up and down and shouted "Praise God," "Glory," and "Amen."

Throughout the bishops on the platform would clamor for order. One with an especially good voice shouted: "Stop that noise—stop it at once." Back from the crowd came the reply: We can't stop—we can't stop." And the noise grew louder than ever.
Political lobbying and wire pulling leading up to yesterday's election has been in progress day and night since the conference opened two weeks ago. Both factions had open headquarters. Seventeen names were proposed for election yesterday, but during the day the list simmered down to eight Dr. Hurst was elected on the first ballot.
After the smoke of the battle cleared and the noise subsided the delegates were hushed to stillness by the singing of "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow," and the session adjourned with a prayer.
There was no ill feeling after it was all over. The fight was once really bitter and the great work goes on uninterruptedly.
The four new bishops have long been leaders in the affairs of the church. They are of middle age and well educated. Bishop Jonas is a graduate of five colleges and universities and was distinguished a few years ago by being elected to the school board of Columbus, O., a position he held for four terms. He was the first Negro to have such a position in the United States. He is a former president of Wilberforce University, a Negro school in Ohio. Bishop Hurst has been financial secretary of the conference for several years. Bishop Chappelle is president of the Allen University at. (Continued on Page 4)

The Doctor at night preached on the "Conversion of St. Paul." (Acts 9:3-5.) At the close of the sermon he received another member into the church. Collections were good and the services were well attended. Rev. Glimore left for home Tuesday morning on the first train, and arrived in Cleveland to witness the gradu-

MURFREESBORO NOTES
The Benevolent Order No. 11 held their annual thanksgiving services at Key Chapel M. E. Church last Sunday. An excellent paper was read by Mrs. L. M. Thompson, subject Benevolence. It was full of meaning and to the point, after which Dr. G. C. Harden, the next speaker, was introduced. There was quite a large crowd present. Mr. Robert Stratton after a long illness, departed this life on the 11th inst. The funeral services were conducted at the Primitive Baptist Church on the 12th inst. Burial at Benevolent Cemetery. He leaves a devoted wife, two sons and one daughter. Mrs. Estella Childress died on the 17th inst. after the illness of a few hours. The funeral services were conducted at Key Chapel, of which she was a member, by the pastor, Rev. D. T. Bunch. She leaves a husband, a baby girl, a mother, the father having died a few weeks ago, and brothers and mourn their loss. Hed last words will live long in the heart of her husband whom she loved so dearly. Mrs. Nancy Evans is still on the sick list. Mrs. Bettie Hendricks, the sister of Mrs. Bettie Childress, is very sick. The death of her sister-in-law was a great shock to her. Mrs. Florence Scales, of Chattanooga, was called to attend the burial of her sister, Estella. Scallie (Allen) Anderson, of Kansas City, was called last week to the bedside of her father. Mr. Henry Allen, who is very sick at his home, near Dilton. She was the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Lillie Dock, of Walnut street, last Sunday. Miss Wille Todd and Mr. Dock Yeargins were the guests of Miss Gertrude Rucker last Sunday afternoon. One course was served. Miss Elma Williams, Henrietta Williams, Sadie Williams, Johnnie ONeal, Mr. and Mrs. Page, Mr. Tom Sparrow spent last Tuesday on the banks of the river fishing. The Murfreesboro Graded School closed last Friday with a very appropriate exercise. There were no graduates this year, but promotion cards were freely circulated among the students. The Institute will convene at an early date. Decoration day is near at hand. We hope to have a sane 30th. We hope to see no drunken men and women on the streets this year. Many who visit our little city and the National Cemetery on that date think they cannot enjoy themselves if they don't get half drunk and fight or cut some one, and are left in jail awaiting trial next day. Mr. Virgil Coleman caught 67 rats out of his born on Hancock street. He had them on a string where any one could see and count them. Miss Dorell Brown spent last Sunday in Jefferson. Miss Bettie Mc Calum, of Nashville, was the guest of her cousin, Mrs. Bettie Stratton, last Sunday.

FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1912.
Empty-Handed.
The Tennesseeese delegates to the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church held in Kansas City, Mo., will return home stripped of all honors. It was the hope of all citizens of this state that Dr. J. A. Jones would be honored with the editorship of the Southern Christian Recorder, and that Dr. C. V. Roman, our fellow-townsman, would likewise be honored to guard the destiny of the A. M. E. Review. It appeared before the meeting that these elections were certain. In fact, they had about been conceded. But an election is never certain until the votes are counted.
In Dr. Roman's case, it appears that he would in all probability, have been elected had he continued in the race, but we learn he considered it the better part of wisdom to withdraw. In Dr. Jones' case, it is evident that his defeat was due to the dissensions among the Tennessee delegation. It will be remembered that a fight had been on in this state and that the Tennessee delegation went to the General Conference split up into several factions. And then, after they reached the seat of the Conference the delegates saw fit to hold a special meeting and in that meeting they deprived Rev. A. P. Gray of the chairmanship and bestowed that honor upon Rev. G. L. Jackson. Nothing can be said adverse as to the reputation of either of these gentlemen; both are worthy men and able to lead a delegation, but the fact remains that the dissensions among the delegates weakened their cause and as a result both of Tennessee's candidates were left; and furthermore the position of Secretary of the Preachers' Ald Association, held by Dr. W. A. Lewis, of Tennessee, was abolished. The office of Dr. Lewis might have been abolished had the delegates been as a unit, but it is a fact that the bickering among the delegates had a telling effect.
The Globe warned the Tennessee men before the sitting of the General Conference of the dangers that result from internal dissensions. This is not the only case which could be cited in which such dissensions have worked a detriment to Tennesseeans in national meetings. The old adage that "in union there is strength" holds good until this day. Again such conditions prove conclusively that a "house divided against itself cannot stand." Tennesseeans would do well to learn this lesson, or rather to keep in mind the fact that it takes unity of action to win. It is true in church as well as in state, or for that matter, in any national meeting.
The people of this state will learn with regret of the losses sustained by her sons at Kansas City. All of the men elected are strong men and we have no criticism to make, our only regret is that Tennessee did not receive any honors, and lost those she already had.
Cuban Uprising.
From the Associated Press dispatches we learn that the black Cubans are planning an uprising on that island. We do not know how much truth there is in the report, but it will not be a surprise if some truth is found to be in them. The Cuban Negroes fought many years for liberty. They shed their blood and made untold sacrifices that they might be free. They bore the brunt of the long war with Spain, but it seems that the advent of the American white man is serving to undue all that the black Cubans fought to accomplish.
They might gain a victory in a general uprising at this time, but it appears that the day of grace is past. The American white man is there with all of his race prejudice, and it seems that he has his hands on all that is worth while in Cuba. And
while the black Cubans are brave and courageous, it is apparent they are fighting against odds in their home country.
Library Fund
The Negroes of this city, under the leadership of the Board of Trade, are planning to raise a fund to assist in purchasing a site for the new Carnegie Library that is soon to be erected. The amount they hope to raise is five thousand dollars. This is a commendable move and one that will receive the commendation of all right thinking people. Negroes are poor, it is true, but no people are appreciated who do not make an effort to do something for themselves. They may not raise five thousand dollars, but they can raise something. They can raise five thousand dollars, and will if all of the leaders will fail in line and make one strong pull.
It is estimated by the promoters of this move that at fifty cents each the five thousand dollars can be raised. There are between thirty-five and forty thousand Negroes in Nashville, which means, of course, that if each one should give fifty cents a fund of between fifteen and twenty thousand dollars would be raised, but there are some who will not give anything, while on the other hand, there are many who can and will give much more than fifty cents. There are several men in Nashville who are able to give as much as one hundred dollars, and we believe several of them will give liberally to this worthy cause.
At the next meeting of the Board of Trade the plans will very likely be perfected and the campaign launched. It is the duty of every Negro to give something, and if there are any who do not intend to give anything or who feel that it is not their duty to give, they should hit themselves away to some secluded spot and keep their mouths shut as tight as a clam. The people are heartily in favor of making the effort and all disgruntals and sore-heads should let them alone and allow them to do what their conscience tells them to do.
The library is for the benefit of all the people and no one who has the least self-pride would hesitate for a minute to give as much as fifty cents to go toward the purchase of a site for a library.
Is Roosevelt Crazy?
Many of the papers and magazines of the country are working overtime to prove that Theodore Roosevelt is a lunatic. Others who desire to be a little more sane are mild enough in their expressions to say that he is a dangerous man and is laboring to selfish ends.
It is not believed that these howlers are sincere in their contentions, but are simply endeavoring to create a sentiment against Mr. Roosevelt. But despite all their wailing the people wherever they are given a chance to express their opinions are making it understood that they do not believe Roosevelt is crazy. They read his utterances, and they are studying the man, and when they are given a chance to express their opinions they say "if Roosevelt is crazy we like a crazy man."
A. M. E. Bishops.
The delegates that composed the twenty-fourth General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church that adjourns today in Kansas City, Mo., are to be commended for the wise judgment they exercised in the selection of bishops. There were many able men, in fact all of them are who were in the race, but for ripe experience, true Christian piety, thorough scholarship and loya church pride, the selections could not have been excelled.
Bishop Chappelle is well known in this city, having resided here eight years as the head of the A. M. E. Sunday-School Union. His many friends here would be glad to congratulate him with an old time Tennessee hand shake. Tennessee was pulling hard for Dr. Chappelle and we believe they were really a unit for him.
Bishop J. M. Conner, of Arkansas, is well known here and is a great favorite. Bishop Hurst was present at the last session of the Tennessee Annual Conference, and made a lasting impression. Bishop Jones, of Ohio, is only known in this state by reputation, but he is so well known by his reputation that Tennesseans are joining in with the African Methodist Connection in the general amen.
This age is demanding of all assemblages that strong men be sent forth to represent and the A. M. E. Church has answered nobly.
The citizens of Norfolk, Virginia, have let the world know that they do not approve of any one teaching their children who is not of the highest character. In another column will be found their opinion of one of the principals of the public schools of

A. M. E. CONFERENCE ELECTS.
Four Officers Are Chosen at the Meeting Yesterday.
Special to the Globe
Kansas City, Mo., May 17.—Most of the time yesterday at the A. M. E. general conference was spent in the election of four officers. Dr. J. I. Lowe, Arkansas, was elected business manager of the publishing department, Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., was elected editor of the Christian Recorder, published at Philadelphia. He holds the honor of LL.

A. M. E. ELECTION NOT OVER.
Meeting Bids Fair to Last Greater Part of This Week.
Special to the Globe.
Kansas City, Mo., May 18—One Kansas Cityan was among the officers e'ected yesterday by the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Dr. J. Frank McDonald being named as editor of the Western Christian Recorder, an official church paper. The conference adjourned for the night without completing the elections.
The officers chosen yesterday are: Professor A. S. Jackson, of Waco, Tex., secretary of education.
Dr. B. F. Watson, of Washington, L. C., secretary of church extension.
Professor Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the Sunday School Union.
Rev. W. W. A'len, of Columbus, Ga., editor of the Southern Christian Recorder.
Dr. J. Frank McDona'd, of Kansas City, Mo., editor of the Western Christian Recorder.

cia.)—The African Methodist Episcopal Conference to-day voted down an attempt to have the words "He descended into hell," left out of the Apostle's creed. One delegate suggested the words "descended into the grave," and another "descended into Hades," as a substitute for the original phrase.
The conference decided upon the establishment of a church paper for women to be known as the Women's Missionary Recorder.

GENERAL CONFERENCE WILL
ADJOURN TO-DAY.
Specialist
Kansas City, Mo., May 23.—The twenty-fourth session of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church will adjourn Friday, May 24, and by Saturday morning most of the delegates will be on the road to their homes.
$2,600 FOR MORRISTOWN SCHOOL.
Minneapolis, Minn., May 22—Dr. N. Luccock, pastor of the Hyde Park Church, Kansas City, Mo., is the fourth bishop of the eight to be elected at the present session of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church here. This was the result of the fifteenth ballot announced today. Another ballot was taken and it was announced the result would be made known later.
W. J. Bryan, in a speech before the Conference, reiterated his recent statement that he is a candidate for no office and did not expect to be. "I hope that no unfriendly newspaper," he said, "will say that I am a candidate for bishop." He urged all church members to get into politics for the benefit of public morality and good government. "I got into politics when young and expect to stay until I die," he declared. "But I don't want you to believe that I am, or ever expect to be a candidate. I can do more by remaining in politics as a private citizen. Automatic retirement of bishops instead of by superannuation by the vote of the General Conference was advocated today in the report of the committee on episcopacy, which recommends that a bishop at the close of the General Conference nearest his seventy-third birthday be released from his obligation to travel and from residence supervision.
The Conference today auctioned off the famous "Bishop's table" made of wood from every country of the world, to J. E. Andrews, of New York, for $2,600. The amount will be given to the Negro industrial school at Morristown, Tenn., where the table was made, for the purpose of aiding in the erection of another building.
PRINCIPAL TUCKER WILL BE INVESTIGATED.
The School, Board heard formal charges against Principal Tucker last Tuesday and ordered a thorough investigation into the complaints. The Journal and Guide hopes that the investigation will be thorough and that the stone will be left unturned to free the colored public schools of this city of the atmosphere of scandal, which now surrounds them.
The School Board, in whom we have already expressed our entire confidence, is in danger of incurring the severe criticism of the good white and colored people of the city, if they permit the element of sympathy out of the largeness of their hearts to obscure the gravity of Mr. Tucker's offense.
The Colerod people of Norfolk deserve that for which they are contending—an opportunity to rear their boys and girls as free as possible from contaminating influences. They do not want to see their children infected with immoral cancer during the tender years of susceptibility to degrading influences. They are at present exposed to such dangers, because of the close proximity of the liquor traffic to all of the schools and because the colored supervising principal has made a compact with the saloon interests, and was chiefly instrumental in giving a new lease of life to a saloon within one hundred feet of his school.
The school board appears to be a body of fair minded, upright, public spirited citizens, friendly to the colored people's efforts for a cleaner and healthier moral life, and we do not believe they will suffer the moral element to appeal to them in vain.
A. M. E. CONFERENCE ASKS
SQUARE DEAL
By Resolution Repudiates President Taft's Policy Toward the Race in the South.
Kansas City, Mo., May 21.—Repudiating President Taft's policy toward the Negro in the South, and demanding "a square deal" for the Negro, the report of the "committee on the State of the Country" was adopted today by a majority vote of the African Methodist Episcopal Conference now in session here.
George W. Ellis, a lay delegate from the Thirteenth Episcopal district and secretary of the committee, read the report. The Rev. H. Y. Arnett. D. D. of Philadelphia, offered the motion for adoption.
W. T. Vernon, formerly register of the United States treasury, now superintendent of Indian education under President Taft and a member of the committee, made a vigorous speech against the report. Upon its adoption Vernon was allowed to have his name stricken from the committee.
The Connectional Preachers' Aid Association, an insurance company operated by the church, was placed in the hands of a special committee, which will wind up its business because of the varying insurance laws of the different states. A house of protection, composed of one member of each annual conference, was approved, to take the place of the Preachers' Aid Association. It will pay the conference beneficiaries at the seat of the annual conference. A resolution recommending the translation of the A. M. E. hymn book into several dialects for the South African tribes, was adopted.
SUPREME COURT WANTS TO KNOW DO WE USE THE SAME "GOAT"
While arguing before the supreme court in defense of the Negro lodge of Knights of Pythias, against the whites, Justice Lurton convulsed the court by asking: "Do these lodges Mr. Theophilus B. Boyd and Miss Marie Boyd, who have been attending school in Atlanta, Go., are home for vacation. The many friends of Miss Vera McKinley will' be glad to know that she is able to be out again after several weeks of illness. Mr. Irwin Thompson, of Tremont avenue, is convalescing from a recent illness.

"Now, to carry out this plan so thoughtfully and timely undertaken by the Negro Board of Trade, there should be a short, vigorous, 'snappy' campaign in which every Negro in Nashville would be given an opportunity to pay fifty cents towards making up this fund. By a short, vigorous, snappy campaign, I mean all that these words imply in a matter of this kind.
"If the Board of Trade would allow a suggestion, I would say that there should be a definite or stated time for the campaign to open. Prior o this, there should be a period of preparation in which the committee that has the matter in hand could work out all details, the general directions having been outlined and given by the Board of Trade. When the time set for the campaign to open comes, it should be entered upon at once with all of the vigor and enthusiasm possible, and with that bull dog determination to succeed.
"I have no hesitancy in saying that success will crown the efforts of the Board of Trade in this matter, wiien

GOOD RESULTS FOR Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Wm. N. Sanders received a call from the Board of Directors of the Nashville Y. M. C. A., February 24, 1912, to report for duty April 1, 1912, as Executive Secretary of the Colored Men's Branch in this city. The call was extended on the strength of the recommendation of Dr. J. E. Mooreland, of Washington, D. C.
Mr. Sanders arrived in Nashville March 31, and served for duty April 1. During the past month his time was actively spent meeting old friends and members of the Association and forming an acquaintance among people of various casses. He has met with the Association in two regular Sunday afternoon meetings. He also met the Board of Directors very soon after his arrival. All of these meetings were interesting and the members manifested a spirit which is indicative of hearty co-operation and zeaous work for the lasting good of the young men of Nashville. He has met quite a large number of men who have not been actively associated with the work in its early struggles, but are inclined, it seems, to be friendly disposed toward the work provided it is planned and conducted on a business as well as Christian basis.
The City Association here has taken a step hitherto unheard of in the South. This is Y. M. C. A. theory reduced to practice. The Secretary has been provided with headquarters in the Pythian Temple. Any one wishing to see him may call at the office from 8:30 to 10:30 in the fore noons and from 3 to 6 in the after noons. Hours for special callers will be g'adly arranged for any time night or day.

CONGRESS SUBJECTS FOR 1912
Select the Subject that you want to write upon for the Tuskegee meeting of the Sunday-School Congress. As has been the custom, the Secretary of the Sunday-School Congress has announced that the special committee, which has charge of the selecting of the subjects for each year's Congress, has named this year only ten subjects. This is the smallest number of subjects ever selected for any of the previous Congresses, but it was brought about, says the Secretary, on account of the desire to devote more time to exhausting the important subjects before the meeting each year. He stated that two subjects would be discussed each day, hence only ten would be required for the five days.
1. The Responsibilities of the Sunday-school as a Spiritual Organization.
2. The Specific Requirements of the Primary Class.
4. The Sunday-school Teachers' and How Best Conducted.

BAPTIST CHURCH.
Sunday-school for Sunday, May 19, was good. Rev. Blakley, one of our white brethren, preached the eleven o'clock sermon, using for a subject "Salvation." He preached a halluiah sermon. Afterwards we went to the river and baptized four converts. At night Rev. B. J. Majors filled his pulpit and preached a wonderful sermon. Brother Dan Price had an accident last week. He crippled himself by dropping some bricks on his foot and was unable to attend church Sunday. The choir felt his absence very much. We trust he will be up in a few days. Mrs. J. R. Caruthers, of 1009 Twelfth avenue, North, left last Sunday evening for Columbia, Tenn., where she will spend a few days with relatives and friends. Mrs. Frankie Bolding, one of the main alto singers of the choir, is real sick and her absence from the choir is felt very much. We pray and hope she will soon recover.

HEROIC CONVICT PARDONED.
Negro Did Gallant Work in Rescuing Flood Imperilled.
Jackson, Miss., May 21—Herolism displayed in the fight against the Mississippi floods has brought to Harry Mills, a state convict, a pardon from Governor Brewer.
Mills was convicted of murder in Vicksburg six years ago and was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. Soon after beginning the term he escaped and settled in Arkansas, where he married. He recently, became a father, and had a happy home. Then an 'o'd acquaintance betrayed him for the usual $50 reward for escaped convicts.
When convicts were sent to hold back the swo'en Mississippi, Mills attracted attention by his reckless disregard of peril. He volunteered, even pleaded for every task which offered danger, but always escaped usscathed. On one occasion he swam through a swirling eddy to carry a "medline to a boat containing refuges whose oars had been swept away.
"Mil's is the bravest man I ever saw." tht convicts' camp superintendent told Governor Brewer.

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL UNDER
FIRE
In the Norfolk, Va., Journal and Guide of May 11th, the people express very freely their opinion of a principal one of the public schools. Below will be found some of the expressions:
"I regard the statement favoring the open saloon made by Prof. R. A. Tucker, in view of all the attendant circumstances as one of the most unfortunate events which has occurred in the organized effort to remove from our midst the most harmful influence actively at work for the degradation of the Negro."-C. A. Palmer, Member Executive Committee, Ninth Ward Civic Improvement League.
"A man who would come out publicly and say that a saloon can be so conducted that it could be placed anywhere in the city among our people ought to be severely criticized."-F. W. Williams, Pastor of Queen Street Baptist Church.
"I have known the respected Prof. R. A. Tucker for so many years that I must hesitate to voice an unkind thought at this time. I can only express my regret that he was induced to endorse the granting of a license to sell intoclicants in the vicinity of the Cumberland Street School."—C. C. Dogan.
"It is outrageous."—P. J. Wallace, Pastor First Calvary Baptist Church.
"I think he made a big blunder."—Moses Harris.
"I think he used very poor judgment for a man in his position."—J. B. Robinson.
"If Mr. Tucker wrote the letter accredited to him it was a very foolish thing to do."—J. S. Hall.
"If this letter quotes him correctly his attitude is not the proper one as a leader of the race."—H. T. Dickey.
"Am rather disappointed. Thought he had greater interest in the uplift of our people"—James M. Collins, Superintendent St. John's A. M. E. Sunday-School.

HARVARD MOPPED UP WITH
YALE.
Crimson Won Dual Track Meet by Score of Seventy-One to Thirty-three.
Cambridge, Mass., May 18—Yale's varsity tract team suffered at the hands of a well balanced Harvard aggregation today the worst defeat in the history of dual track meets between the two colleges. Harvard piled up a total of 71 points to Yale's 33.
Except for the two-mile run in which Moyd, of Harvard, set up a new dual record of 9 minutes 45 seconds, the performances were mediocre. The previous record for two miles was 9 minutes 46 4/5 seconds.
Cable, a Negro athlete of Harvard, was the individual star of the meet. After leaping 22 feet 10 1/4 inches to first place in the broad jump, Cable threw the 16-pound hammer 154.74 feet, more than seven feet beyond his nearest competitor.
NO GAMBLING JOINTS WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE BIG FIGHT TOWN
East Las Vegas, N. M., May 20.—No lifting of the lid during the crowds here for the Johnson-Flynn fight will be allowed, according to Mayor Robert J. Taupert. A greatly ugmented police force is already being organized to keep order and to see that the gambling laws are not broken.
The Mayor announced that he would revoke the license of any hotel or rooming house that attempts to charge exorbitant rates. No fakers will be allowed to use the streets.
Promoter Curley announced to-day that the construction of the arena would begin June 4.
Jack Johnson has wired for a house to live in while training and will bring with him a colored chef and ragtime singers.
TWO WEEKS FROM TO-NIGHT AND THE COMMENCEMENT OF PEARL HIGH SCHOOL FOR 1912 WILL HAVE PASSED INTO HISTORY.
Considerable difficulty was experienced in learning the closing chorus, "In the Pride of May," as there are three transformations in the key, but the selection is as beautiful as it is difficult, and under the direction of Miss Eva N. Murrell and the principal the pupils determined to master it and it is now well under way. "The Last Rose of Summer," by the Girls' Glee Club will be rendered in pantomime. The young ladies will be dressed in white and bear a red rose in the left hand. The humorous selection, "Mary Had a Little Lamb," by the Boys' Glee Club will bring down the house. In talking with your reporter the principal is hopeful of the success of the entire program and says that the Pearl standard will not be lowered.

JOHNSON TO LAS VEGAS,
SUNDAY.
Las Vegas, N. M., May 21.—Jack Johnson will arrive here Sunday to begin training for his battle with Jim Flynn on July 4, according to a message received today. Johnson will leave Chicago Friday, accompanied by his trainer, Tom Flanagan. The Johnson quarters will be situated at the Forsythe ranch, seven miles northeast of Las Vegas.
BACK TO THE FARM
It is a hopeful sign to see the executive committee of the National Bankers Association using efforts to promote agricultural education. Thus we see that those who are suffering from the high cost of living are not the only ones who are advocating a return to the soil for a livelihood, and converts are springing up in all parts of the country. Railroads all over tills and other States are distributing information concerning farm lands, because the more farms operated means more business for them. On the same principle the bankers reason that the tilling of waste lands means more money to be handled in deposits and improvements. Agricultural education is doing much to keep the farmer in the country and to send him congenial company. It is bringing about that efficiency that makes farming as much a business as regards to details as any other.
The technical education given in seeds and soil by Hampton, Tuskegee and other schools for the colored youth will continue to repopulate deserted farms and cause the desert places to "bloom like a rose." Much attention is being paid to education, and in many cases where the inhabitants gave poor educational facilities as the cause for leaving heir "happy homes" conditions have changed. Educational, financial and social problems have been solved and distaste for country life has disappeared.

POSTAL SERVICE TO BE IM-
PROVED
For the purpose of making decisive improvements in the postal system at Nashville, a number of post office inspectors from Washington are now in the city and have been here two days making a rigid investigation with a view of determining what recommendations shall be made.
The inspectors come here after several years' endeavor on the part of Postmaster Wills to secure better service, and will remain several months. They will so systematize the city carrier service and the rural carrier service for the territory about Nashville that every patron of the local office will be largely benefited, it is promised.

It is proposed to give two deliveries daily in those portions of the city that have only had one heretofore, in every other way the service is to be so perfected it is said, that there will be no just cause for complaint. In discussing the visit of the inspectors Postmaster Wills said: "I have been trying for three years to get the Postmaster General to send these inspectors to Nashville, and it was only after I had importured several Congressmen and Senators that they were sent. We have had numerous complaints—just ones, too, but when the inspectors mish their work Nashville and its suburbs will have a perfect postal servile. Owing to the growth of the city and an insufficient number of carriers the people have not been receiving the proper service, but these men are here to correct all that, and they have been ordered to store until the system is perfect."
When the inspectors were interviewed, they declined to make any statement for publication, saying they were mostly engaged upon the work, and they would probably be in position to discuss the conditions here within the next week. A vast amount of routine work is being done by the inspectors, as each carrier's territory must be gone over thoroughly.
AMUSEMENTS
The Twelfth Avenue Theater continues to draw record-breaking crowds each night. The reason for this is plainly evident when you remember that nothing but clean vaudeville is given. The patrons are orderly and give the performers rapt attention and great applause. The management is doing all that can be done to make this place the mecca for those, who care to see high-class acts. The bill for this week is a strong one, which will no doubt please the amusement-loving public.

Governor Harmon said this afternoon:
"Such a sweeping victory in Ohio would be pleasing under any conditions. But, in view of the strong and various forces we had to meet and the methods resorted to I am profoundly gratified, not so much on my own account as on that of the party. Defeat would have been taken as a repudiation of our two successive democratic administrations, and this would have set us back for years.
