NASHVILLE GLOBE. ICES SODA CREAM VOL. VIH. WASHINGTON IN THE WEST TUSKEGEE WIZZARD PLEADING THE CAUSE OF HIS PEOPLE Great, Crowds Folk to Hear Him— Signal Honors Shower the Apostle of Peace and Good Will— Tell the People in the West of the Negroes Struggles— Isk to be Given a Square Special to the Globe: Spokane, Wash., March 15—Closing in a whirlwind of great meetings in this city, Booker T. Washington came to the end of the second week of his tour of the states of the far northwest. The remarkable demonstrations in his honor by the citizens of Spokane—and remarkable is an abused word without hope of protection—was simply a continuation of the ovations everywhere and by everybody given the most distinguished living Negro since he entered the state of North Dakota to begin his campaign against ignorance. Addresses White Women. Dr. Washington's speech to the white women in the Chamber of Commerce, following his set address at the Chamber's luncheon, at which the wealth and culture of Spokane paid homage to the Great Black, was as a ringing defense and plea, first, of the women of his own race, and then for the industrial and moral emancipation of all women. An idea of the number of engagements of Dr. Washington may be had from his three days in Spokane. Arriving March 9, Dr. Washington spoke at the Unitarian church at 11 o'clock; the white Y. M. C. A. at three o'clock, and appeared before a great congregation at the First Presbyterian church at 4:40. He was the guest at tea at the home of W. C. Morris, the distinguished editor of Spokane's great daily news paper, the Spokesman-Review, and at 7:30 spoke to a mass of folk at the First Methodist church. Speaks to Colored People. At 9 o'clock Dr. Washington spoke so about all the colored people in the state of Washington, so it seemed, at the A. M. E. Church. A portion of each of the white meetings he had addressed during the day followed him to the colored church. The next morning he appeared before both of the high schools of the city, and the students tried their grandest to show him that they took him for some kind of hero. A eight o'clock Dr. Washington stepped over the line into Iaoah and delivered a message to a throng at Moscow. Returning to Spokane, Dr. Washington closed his meetings with the luncheon and reception a the Chamber of Commerce. The white Y. M. C. A. gave a dinner for him in their building and at 8 o'clock the colored citizens tendered a ban banquet, the affair brilliant, so they said, of all their history out here. Governor of Montana Presides. Coming through Montana, Dr. Washington got some idea of Western hospitality, and Western democracy. Out here democracy is a religion. At Helena, the capital of the state, before a tremendous and enthusiastic crowd, Dr. Washington was indeed more the orator. The regions around sent their best to meet what the Helena dalles called the "living triumph of the (Continued on Page 8.) (Continued on Page 8.) THE PALMS. J. FRANK BATTLE SHOT TO DEATH BY PHILISTA WOMACK CLAIMS SHE HAD BEEN WRONGED--COOLY WALKED INTO THE PALMS AND OPENED FIRE--NOT A WORD WAS UTTERED BY EITHER PARTY--AFTER BATTLE FELL WOMAN WALKED UP AND KICKED HIM-- CALLS POLICE STATION STATION—NEWS SPREADS LIKE WILD FIRE—MOTHER NOTIFIED AT CHURCH—STRICKEN WITH GRIEF—DECEASED WAS VERY POPULAR—WAS SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN—EYE WITNESSES MAKE STATEMENT. Crazed by jealousy, and brooding over the news of the recent marriage to another woman of the man she loved, Philista Womack walked into The Palms, shot and instantly killed J. Frank Battle, the proprietor of the establishment, at the corner of Cedar street and Fifth avenue, North. The shooting occurred between 9:45 and 10:00 o'clock Monday night. From all accounts it appears to have been deliberately and coolly planned by the perpetrator. There were several eyewitnesses to the tragedy and many are the rumors affoort as to the real cause of the deed, which stirred Nashville from center to circumference. Philista Womack is said to have held a brief conference in front of The Palms with her chum, Mamle Demos, who was accompanied by John Caruthers. Breaking away from them, she is said to have remarked, "I am going to kill him." Walking into the establishment, she closed the the door behind her, and without a word of warning took deliberate aim and fired at her victim, who was busily at work preparing an order for customers in the parlor. The first shot fired took effect in the right breast between the first and second ribs. The victim, who was standing behind the counter, turned to retreat toward the rear of the building. The second shot fired entered the neck right over the cervical vertebrae, while the third shot went wild, lodging in the door above the victim. With this mortal wound in his neck, Mr. Battle fell to the floor and expired without uttering a word. The assassination is regarded as one of the boldest and most notorious that has ever taken place in this city. Soon the streets for a block around were thronged with excited people, eager to get some detail of the crime. After the shooting it is said the Womack woman called the police headquarters and notified them of the deed, but after getting connection her nerve failed her and the message was transmitted to the officers by one of the customers. An account of the shooting is given over several eye-witnesses. Dr. A. N. Johnson, Jr., who heard the shot, rushed into The Palms and finding that Mr. Battle had been shot, made a dash to his office for his case of instruments. He immediately re NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY MARCH 21, 1913. ```markdown ``` J. FRANK BATTLE Vice President of the Nashville Globe, Proprietor of The Palms, who was Shot by Philista Womack Monday Night. turned in company with his father. Dr. Johnson administered heart nourishments in an effort to arouse Mr. Battle, but he never regained consciousness. Statement from Mr. A. N. Johnson. "I was sitting in my office and heard two or three shots. I don't remember now whether it was two or three. Hardly had the report of the revolver died away when my son rushed in and said that Mr. Battle had been shot. We both went immediately to The Palms. I found him lying on the floor in the rear of the establishment, right in front of a small closet door, where it appears that he attempted to enter for protection. My son, the doctor, worked faithfully and rapidly, trying to revive him, but he was unconscious and expired without speaking to either of us—simply looking up into our faces as we worked. Dr. Johnson was assisted by Dr. Hagar. The two worked desperately, but the effect of the second shot in the neck could not be overcome. But for this Mr. Battle might have had a fighting chance for life." Statement of Mr. Frank Paschal. "A boy rushed into the Little Savoy and announced excitedly: 'Frank Batte has been shot.'" Frank had immediately to The Palms. As we was going in, several persons rushed out of the door. I was the first to enter, I think. Mr. Battle was lying in the doorway. The Womack woman was standing over him. I asked the woman where Frank was. She replied, 'There is lying on the floor.' I then asked her who shot him. She placed both hands over her eyes to hide her face and then said, 'I did.' After saying this she sank into a chair and leaned her head on a table. By this time Special Officer Pink MeGovern of the Criminal Court, and Detectives Vaughn and Wooley appeared on the scene in response to the telephone message." All was excitement without, as the crowd had begun to gather. The woman is said to have demanded that she be driven to the station. She called several auto drivers, and finally George Clay agreed to take her to the station in an automobile that was standing in front of the buildings. Before they had proceeded half way the block they were halted by the officers who made the arrest. His Mother Gets the Sad News. Mrs. Emma Battle, the mother of the deceased, was in a revival service at the First Baptist Church, when the news came to her. The auto of Mrs. A. M. Toundsew was put at her service and she was driven to The Palm. Upon her arrival there she was met at the door by several officers, but was advised not to enter. Taking their advice, she was then driven home. Wife Gets the News. Mrs. Frank Battle, a bride of but one week, received the shocking news at her home, Porterfield St., and came directly to the city. She stated to a Globe reporter, amid sobs and tears, that the woman had carried out her threats—that her husband had shown her a letter that the Womack woman had written threatening to do this deed. Sister and Brother Arrive on Scene. Mr. John Battle, accompanied by Miss Eleanor Battle, arrived on the scene, but none of the relatives reached there before he expired. Messages Sent. Long distance telephone messages and telegrams were sent to a sister, Mrs. J. M. Easterling, who resides in Chattanooga, Tenn., and a brother, Mr. James Battle, who resides in Camden, N. J., also Dr. Robert Allen, of Chattanooga, and Dr. Hickman, of Murfreesboro, at whose home Mr. Battle had been married only a week ago. The remans of Mr. Battle were taken to the undertaking establishment of A. N. Johnson. Hundreds of people thronged the establishment until after midnight, eager to get a glimpse of the remains, but at the request of the family, all were denied. The news of the shooting spread rapidly throughout the city. People from the suburbs boarded cars and came to town to bear testimony of their sympathy and to show their interest in the deceased. No direct cause of the shooting has been given. The woman made a statement to the officers, declaring that she committed the crime because she thought she was justified. Other than this nothing definite has been given out. Mrs. Easterling, the sister from Chattanooga, arrived Tuesday morning at 6:50. Mr. James Battle, of Camden, N. J., arrived Wednesday night at 8:35. INTERIOR OF THE PAMMS. THE ARROW SHOWS WHERE MR. BATTLE WAS STANDING WHEN THE FIRST SHOT WAS FIRED AT HIM THOUSANDS GATHER FROM EVERY QUARTER OF THE CITY VAILED—PARTIES WHO WERE VAILED—PARTIES WHO WERE IN THE PALMS TERROR STRICK- EN—COULD NOT REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. There were two abrasions on the dead man's face that were evidently made by the woman's shoe when she kicked him in the face. The Throng Tuesday Morning On Tuesday morning at the undertaking establishment of A. N. Johnson & Company, on Cedar street, a curious crowd thronged the street from Fourth to Fifth avenue. People gathered from all parts of the city to get a glimpse of the popular young man who had been so brutally murdered Monday night. In the crowd were to be seen people of both races, of all walks of life, on all of whose faces were expressions of profound sadness. Never before in the history of Nashville has the death of a young man created such sympathy and grief as did the tragic ending of the life of J. Frank Battle. At the home at 1723 Scovel street, a pitiful scene was witnessed when a Globe representative called to see the family. People of Nashville remember the sad death of Mr. Joseph O. Battle, who was the first editor and president of the Nashville Globe. They remember the tender affection he had for his mother and how dearly she loved her son "Joe". It is recalled how he had endeavored to make his mother happy, and that just when he had secured a home for her that was to his liking, he was stricken down with disease and died. Frank Battle was a mere boy then, and the people of Nashville have admired his heroism in taking up where his br "Joe" left off, caring tenderly for the necessities of his mother and young sister. At the time of his death Mr. Frank Battle had let a contract for extensive improvements on the home that was begun by his brother. The lumber was in the yard and the carpenters had torn away the old foundation and were setting their jacks preparatory to jacking up the house and laying a stronger foundation. And just as this work was begun, J. Frank Battle was cut off by the hands of an enraged woman. Misa, Emma Battle, the mother, when seen by the Globe representative, was grief-striken. Friends were attending her and doing all in their power to console her. But how can human hearts be consolled under such trying ordeal? Mrs. Ellen Easterling, a sister, of Chattanooga, wh arrived in Nashville on the first train, and with the young sister, Miss Eleanor Alfreda Battle, bore up under this great ordeal in an effort to sustain their mother. The friends of the family, who had gathered, showed by their expressions that they were (Continued on Page 5.) TENNESSEE'S LEAL- ING NEGRO JOURNAL No.12. WIFE WANTS DAMAGES. MEMPHIS LADY BRINGS SUIT AGAINST COLLINS HOSPITAL Claims Damages for Personal Injuries —Was Refused Accommodation —Head Nurse Objected to White Doctors—Negroes Organized Because of Discriminations —Not Treated With Courtesy in City Hospital. Special to the Globe. Memphis, Tenn., March 17.—Quite a sensation was created here last week when Mrs. Edith Booth, the wife of Attorney C. O. Booth, entered suit in the Circut Court for $10,000 against the Collins Chapel Hospital, claimed as damages for personal injuries. The suit grew out of a refusal of the head nurse of the hospital, Miss Estella Daniels, to allow white physicians to operate in that institution. It seems that the Negro phciens are opposed to white physicians operating in Collins Hospital, in view of the fact that they are not permitted to operate in the private hospitals operated by white physicians. Furthermore, it is claimed that the Negro physicians are not allowed to operate in the City Hospital. Dr. J. T. Wilson, of Nashville, who is the head surgeon of Collins Hospital, was not present when the incident occurred. He said to a Globe representative that when a Negro goes to the City Hospital he is treated in such a manner that he never feels like going to that place again. It is said that when the late R. M. Clay was shot in Memphis his physicians were denied the privilege of seeing him while he was at the City Hospital, the excuse being that the Head Surgeon was in the operating room, and no one could be admitted. The Negro doctors, it is said, do not expect to be admitted to the private hospitals, and for that reason do feel that Negro patrons should not expect Collins Hospital to admit white surgeons to operate there. They feel that when Negroes have no confidence in Negro surgeons they should either go to the City Hospital or to some of the private white hospitals. They say that they organized the Collins Hospital because of the discrimination against them in the white hospitals. It is said that Mr. Booth knew of the rules of the Collins Hospital, and his motive for asking the head nurse to allow him to bring in his white doctors cannot, be understood. It is said he drew up the papers of the hospital and is thoroughly familiar with its rules and purposes. It is further claimed that Mr. Booth knew beforehand that he could carry his wife to the Baptist Hospital and have the white doctors wait on her there. Lawyer Booth is the leading Negro lawyer in Memphis. He stands high in the legal profession in his city, and throughout the state. He is Grand Attorney of the Knights of Pythias of the State, and distinguished himself recently by drawing up the papers in the celebrated lawsuit the Negro Pythians had with the white Pythians that was settled in the Supreme Court last year. This case will be watched with much interest by the Negro physicians throughout the state. It is claimed that much will depend on the outcome. It is argued that is this case against It is argued that if this case goes against the Hospital it will set a precedent that will be of lasting benefit to the Negro doctors throughout the State. It will at least, they claim, mean that according to law, Negroes will have the right to practice in all hospitals, and especially will they have the right to practice in the City Hospitals.

LAKE PROVIDENCE NOTES LAKE PROVIDENCE NOTES. B. O. No. 29 met in regular session with Brother Moses Goins in the chair. After attending to their regular routine of business, the Grand President, Brother Wim. Copeland, of Nashville, Tenn., was then introduced. Among the many forceful things said by him and the one that seemed to take deepest hold upon the minds of the people was that we should learn to think more, and the greatest need now is more business men. The P. C. baseball team, with Ed. Taylor as captain, is getting in shape to meet all comers. Any one desiring to meet this team can do so by notifying the manager, Prof. J. E. Hill. Miss Mabel Hill, of the A. and I. State Normal, was a visitor at her home last Sunday. She reports good work being done at her school. Dr. W. W. Sumlin, with his skill and by the aid of a kind Providence, has succeeded in getting Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Nelson up again; they are able to work. Give us more professional men like Dr. Sumlin—men who are in earnest, and we will soon be willing to place confidence in our professional and business men. LAMBERT NOTES.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1913. Opportunities. It would be misleading to say the Negroes of this city are not making progress along commercial lines, but it can be truthfully said that there are numerous opportunities for them to establish and operate profitably numerous enterprises other than those we have. True Nashville Negroes can boast of their publishing houses, their bank-furniture factories, undertaking establishments, drug stores and a great number of splendid grocery stores, also an up-to-date men's furnishing store and a high-class ladies' millinery, but these do not cover the field: no, not by far. To mention a few, it must be said to our discredit that there is not a single shoe store, nor a hat or clothing store, and strange to say, with our great publishing houses there is not an out and out book store here. There is not a dry goods nor even men's or ladies' ready-to-wear clothing store; not a single furniture store. Others might be mentioned, but these are sufficient to show that there is an abundance of room for Negro business enterprises in this city. It is clear that if Negroes want their children to be bookkeepers and clerks they must make these positions for them. The white people need all the jobs of that class they have for their own children. It's not as much prejudice as it is dire necessity that makes the white people bar black people from these positions. It is not because they consider the Negro incompetent. It is because blood is thicker than water. The white man's child wants the best job and he gets it because the white man has it to give. The opportunities are open now, and while they are open the Negroes had better grasp them. If they do not, in a few years competition will be so keen it will be impossible for a Negro to get a toe hold. J. Frank Battle. In the death of Mr. J. Frank Battle Nashville has been robbed of one of her most promising young business men, and coming in the tragic way it did makes it the more regrettable Life is uncertain we know, at the best, but it is not contemplated that our reliable citizens will be shot down like dogs in the streets. The deadly pistol in the hands of women is proving a menace to society. Their opportunities to conceal them are numerous, and the impression that women should always receive mercy at the hands of court has had a tendency to make them grow reckless with regard to human life. Mr. Battle was a useful young man with many notable traits. The people loved him because of his affections for his mother and his constant dutifulness toward her and his young sister. In this hour of grief the hearts of the people of Nashville go out for this mother and sister and brothers. Among the Churches. REVIVAL AT FAIRFIELD BAPIST CHURCH.

WOMEN SUFFRIGETS WIN IN UBRATE At the Majestic Theatre Wednesday a large crowd assembled to listen to the debate between two of Nashville's leading women defend the woman suffrage against two of Nashville's ablest men. The subject of the debate was "Resolved, That Women Should Vote." Miss Sophia Jackson and Mrs. Geo The affirmative was represented by E. Haynes and on the negative side was Editor J. D. Crenshaw and Hon. handled ably and the judges rendered A. N. Johnson. The subject was a unanimous vote in favor of the afirmative. The entertainment was the maiden effort of the Nashville Teacher's Library and Benefit Association, and was a success from every point of view. Rev. Jonah was there and was accorded the privilege of distributing his books. The people had to practically run over the white gentleman on making their exit. He was heard to speak very harshly to one young lady who did not know that he was taking up his books. Other than this the evening was a most pleasant one. Music was furnished by the Fisk Orchestra and the Meharry Quartette. Prof. H. L. Keith was master of ceremonies. Rev. Shamberger led in prayer. The judges were Dr. C. V. Roman, Miss Lena Jackson and Rev. J. O. Johnson. One of the judges made it known to the women that while they won the debate, it did not mean that they were entitled to vote, and the impression was created that the great question will be discussed again in the near future. Prof. J. H. Kelly, of Columbia, is in the city attending State Teacher's Association also visiting his son. J. H. Kelly. 1732 Helman street. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1913 With the "Fourth Estate" REMARKABLE PROGRESS OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Under the capable an deregative administrative administration of President R. W. Thompson, the National Negro Press Association is making phenomenal progress. It has grown to proportions far in excess of the anticipations of its most loyal friends, who stuck by it faithfully at Chicago last August, and forced Mr. Thompson to re-assume the presidency to redeem the organization from fees who would have throttled it, if they could have done so. Backed by a cabinet of sturdy friends, headed by N. B. Dodson, of New York City, chairman of the executive committee, and Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, corresponding secretary, Mr. Thompson rolled up his journalistic sleeves and went manfully to work. With a none-too-well-stocked treasury in hand, the managers got out attractive stationery, circular letters, return envelopes, membership cards and all the paraphernalia of an established business, wrote to every newspaper man in the country and secured the co-operation of those friendly disposed. . . . by irresistible arguments, showing the advantages accruing to the craft through compact organization, the doubters enrolled themselves on the side of the Association. Still later, when the success of the movement was assured, as indicated by the journalistic "love-feast" at Philadelphia, February 1. The "holdouts" yielded up their prejudices and came into the fold. Critics who came to scoff at Chicago, remained to pray at Philadelphia, as it were. During Mr. Thompson's brief administration, the membership of the Association has increased from a bare twenty-five to over eighty, and new members are being enrolled by Mr. Boyd every week. The number will pass the hundred mark long before the meeting of the National Convention at Cape May and Philadelphia, August 18 and 19. The menn enrolled are all strong factors in the journalistic life of the race—men who have no time to fool with trifles—men who mean business and nothing but business. Old-stagers say the palmiest days of the press associations of other days bid fair to be eclipse by the young, virile and enthusiastic Press Association today. Along with the younger men, the Association has such seasoned veterans as Chris Perry, John C. Daney, J. H. Murphy W. H. Steward, Dr. W. J. White. T. Thomas Fortune, George L. Knox, W. F. King, E. J. Waring and others of like experiences and capacity. Among the numerous achievements of Mr. Thompson's administration, as set forth by Mr. Boyd, are: First—The organization of an executive committee, embracing nearly every state in the Union and foreign countries, where there is an accredited Negro newspaper man. Second—Putting before the people of the country the form and substance of bona fide Association, awakening an unprecedented interest in the inside workings of the journalistic craft through a series of carefully-compiled notes treating of the "Fourth Estate," as the profession is often described; besides, carrying on an exhaustive and expensive correspondence with the members of the profession everywhere, and raising enough money to pay all stationery and postage bills, with a song surplus left over. Third—"Pulling off" the first mid-winter meeting of the executive committee ever held by the organization, attracting from distant points to Philadelphia a group of the ablest men of the country, all of whom responded cheerfully to the call and paid their own expenses. The City of Philadelphia threw open her doors and promised to "kill the fatted calf" in even more liberal fashion when the full convention came on next August. Fourth—Tentative arrangements have been made for the holding of the national convention two or three days, divided between Cause May and Philadelphia, the most elaborate plan yet attempted by the body. A program as complete as that for the Business League itself is in preparation, and the Association will stand upon its own feet as an organization Fifth—Well under way is the system for the standardization of advertisements, the reciprocal news-service, a plan for the better handling of news events, ideas for the extension of the circulation, the organization of local and state auxiliaries, and many other features looking to the higher development of race journalism. Sixth—The leading papers are now To the boy or girl, between ten and fifteen years of age, who secures the greatest number of adult votes using this coupon as a ticket. Contest begins Jan. 3, 1913, ends April 4, 1913. The Star Real and Investment Co- bays and sells Real Estate, improves and redeems property, builds and re- mains houses, and secures tenants and collects rentals.

HAWKINS, Treasurer. 110 Cedar St., Nashville, Tenn. carrying at their editorial masthead the card: "Members of the National Negro Press Association," giving the organization dignity and force, proving that it is a reality, not a myth. Seventh—Critics have been turned into friends, and enmails have been converted into earnest co-workers for the good of the calling. These are just a few of the definite things that have been accomplished, or which are well on the way toward fruition. The President and his cohorts are well pleased with the outlook, which they regard as exceedingly bright. The brethren not yet enrolled should communicate at once with Henry Allen Boyd, 447 Fourtth avenue, North, Nashville, Tennessee. He is the alert corresponding secretary of the Association—the "drive-wheel of the organization The National Negro Press Association was originally formed at Louisville, Ky., in August, 1909, and has since met in New York City, Little Rock, Ark., and Chicago, with an executive committee session at Philadelphia. Mr. M. M. Lewey, the scholarly editor of the Florida Sentinel served as president with marked distinction during the years of 1910 and 1911 to August, 1912. WHAT THE PRESS "GANG" IS DOING. The American Baptist, Louisville, Ky., edited by the veteran William H. Steward, has entered upon its thirty-fifth year. It is one of the race's most thoughtful and influential opinion-moulders. * * * The Colored Alabamian, with Rev. R. C. Judkins as guide, passed its sixth milestone last month. * * * Misses Erma Whittler and Regina Holland get up a newsy society department for the Pittsburg Courier. * * * Miss Geneva B. Maxfield, of the Washington Rec. is one of the best general paragraphers and society news gatherers in the newspaper fold. She has a happy knack of condensing an immense amount of information in a nutshell, and knows what news really is. The new Discipline of the A. M. E. Church has made its appearance from the press of the A. M. E. Sunday-School Union at Nashville, Tenn. This is the first time in the history of the church that the Discipline has been printed by one of its own publishing house—a fact verified by eyewitnesses, who watched the progress of the work, step by step, as the young Negroes in the office set up the type, read the proof, corrected the errors, made up the forms and ran it off on the press. They saw the workmen in the bindery, folding the sheets, sewing the books on a new machine bought for the purpose, saw the backs put on, and the finished product arranged on the shelves of the establishment's office. The credit for this remarkable and unprecedented achievement belongs wholly to Mr. Ira T. Bryant, the brilliant young manager of the Sunday-School Union who has succeeded in rousing dry bones in the publishing department of the Church of Allen, and carrying all before him. Not only did he succeed in getting out the Discipline in fine, up-to-date style, but proved to his brethren that the book could be sold cheaper and at a proof than it had formerly been sold. Mr. Bryant is a revelation to the doubters in the church, and there will be "something doing" to his advantage when he makes his report to the next General Conference. Caucasian publications are proudly learning that the word "Negro" should be spelled with a capital N. The Outlook and the Century have fallen in line with this advanced view, and other high-class magazines and newspapers are quietly following suit. Our race papers must continue to hammer away on this issue and back on their editors with personal interviews with the publishers themselves. Much good can be accomplished by missionary work in a diplomatic manner. *** B. J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, has been in Cuba recuperating from a nervous breakdown, due to overwork. He has been writing some interesting stories of his experiences in the West Indies. *** The Union City News has been launched by N. W. Harillee at Union City, Texas, a colored town, owned and operated by colored people. A recent Sunday issue of the Chicago American carries an illustrated page article by Dr. Booker T. Washington, showing the progress of the Negro race in the past fifty years. *** The Zanesville (Ohio) Advocate, published by Kennedy and Needham, four years old and is quite a lusty youngster. *** The officers of the National Negro Press Association are gratified over the enthusiasm displayed by the publishers of the papers represented on its rolls. Many of the leading journals are carrying at their editorial masthead the legend: "Member of the National Negro Press Association" just out by the efficient correspondent secretary, Henry Allen Boyd. The card is an exceptionally neat one and its constant appearance in such a conspicuous place bids fair to make the name of the N. N. P. A. a household word. The Amsterdam News says: "We go as we pay and we pay as we go." This is a motto that cannot be beaten. If Brothers Anderson and Harris stick to it, they cannot be beaten by dishonest agents nor fake business and society folks. Chris J. Perry, Fred R. Moore, T. Thomas Fortune, J. H. and Dan H. Murphy and Charles A. Cottrill are some of the newer members of the National Negro Press Association. --- Thy are veterans in the business and will add strength to the organization. New York City has a colored daily, known as The Gazette, and the people are taking a deep interest in its success. A mass-meeting was held recently to promote its welfare and besides many encouraging speeches a long list of subscribers was obtained. On the staff of the Gazette are such experienced newspaper people as Edward Allen, editor, Cleveland G. Allen, J. Turner Wall and Miss Lillian Wood. Now 'tis said that Ralph W. Tyler may take the place of Fred R. Moore on the New York Age, in the event the latter is asked by President Wilson to continue as Minister to Liberia. It is not known how long Mr. Tyler will remain as Auditor for the Navy Department, and any business arrangement entered into at this time is bound to be tentative only. Another rumor has it that Mr. Tyler will make his permanent home in Washington and assume the editorship of The Bee, with which he has been associated for the past two years as editorial and departmental contributor. Dr. P. A. Williams has started the Royal Messenger at Helena, Ark., as the official organ of the Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of the World, of which he is Supreme President. James W. Poe, the new editor of The Reformer (Richmond, Va.) has made a number of notable improvements in the make-up of that paper, and it is reaping excellent results in the work of rehabilitating the Order of True Reformers, in whose interest it is published. Maurice Rousseau is the associate editor. * * * "Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?" Booker T. Washington's memorable article in the November Century Magazine, has been reprinted in neat pamphlet form and is having a circulation among the elements that will most profit by reading it. The booklet can be had by addressing a request to Tuskegee Institute, with the nominal sum of ten cents to cover cost of mailing, etc. The article is one that should be studied with care by every American, white and black. L. N Porter, a grand auditor of the G. U. O. of O. F., is president of a company issuing the Arkansas Banner, a weekly paper, at Little Rock, Ark. * * * Publishers should send the data asked for by Henry Allen Bodd for the Newspaper Directory. It will pay every race paper to be "in" on th's comprehensive publication. It will be to the Negro press what George P. Rowell's indispensable guide is to the white press. An Illuminating discussion of the relation of the press to the people took place a few evenings ago at the St. James Presbyterian Church in New York City, under the auspices of the New York Historical and Literary Society. Well-known editors and correspondents of the metropolis were present and told what the Negro press has done for the general advancement of the race, and described many phases of journalism with which no one outside of the business would be likely to know about. Among the speakers were N. B. Dodson, editor of the Afro-American page of the American Press Association; J. H. Anderson editor of the Amsterdam News; Laster A. Walton, managing and dramatic editor of the New York Age; Cleveland G. Allen, the widely-known correspondent; and Albion W. Holley, of the Crisis, an author on advertising problems. A banquet was tendered the newspaper men after the exercises. Monthly discussions of the press and its mission were arranged for. Newspapers and what they stand for would be better understood by the general public and a stronger support would be given them if such meetings as these should be held frequently all over the country. Gary R. Lewis. Chicago's five wire newspaper genius, is delivering addresses in various cities on "The Literary Lights of the Negro Race," and other timely topics. He is drawing large audiences and pleasing them at every place visited. Milwaukee, Elkbart and Gary, Ind., South Bend and Aurora, Ill., are some of the cities included in his itinerary. Mr. Lewis conducts the Freedman Bureau in Chicago, and is putting in some time also for the Anderson-Watkins Film Company, which is about to send to all the states moving pictures of "A Day at Tuskegee Institute." Mr. Lewis is mentioned in connection with a "fat" assignment in the federal service at Washington, in recognition of his valuable labor as publicity agent for the democracy last fall. The Fraternal Press in Chicago, of which Major R. R. Jackson is president, now does printing for the Chinese. The office has an outfit of Chinese type, and the printer who sets it up is an expert Chinaman. Bills tickets, dollars and everything the Chinese need in the printing line is furnished by Major Jackson's establishment. Isn't that "going some?" $10,000 SHORT BANK CASHIER SKIPS. Scheduled to the Global Washington, D. C. March 14 — With 9,400 on his person, J. C. Hunter, the former banker of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank at Selma, was located and centured in this city; this week. He had, mystoriously, dis- sheared from Selma after having been checked up in his accounts February 8th with a shortage of ten thousand dollars. It is said that Hunter staved with an auditing committee until a very late hour that night, and when he saw that he was short, he quietly went home, taking the keys of the bank and vault with him; but returned early in the next morning and took about three thousand dollars in cash. dropping almost instantly out of sight. The matter was kept very quiet in the South, but little of it reaching the North. Hunter came here, but was located by some smooth work during the Insurgation and detained until one of the officials of the bank, Prof. R. R. Hudson came and positively identified him this week. He was taken back to Alabama, where a further investigation will be instituted. It was stated here that the affairs of the bank are on a good and sound basis and that the shortage was amply covered by bond, upon which the bank realized immediately. Mr. Hudson refused to make any statements for publication whatever. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE. Having qualified as Executive of the Estate of J.

Several casuses were called and disposed of in quick order. As each one was settled by Judge Killen a rustle in the court room indicated that the people were wondering if the next case would be that of Philista Womack, and, when finally her name was called, those who had been waiting in the hall surged into the court room, crowding right up to the bar. Philista Womack, when her name was called, strutted out and up to the Judge's stand just as if she were queen of a great empire. She was dressed in a black suit, wearing a black hat with moderate trimmings. On the third finger of her left hand she wore a plain gold ring. Her eyes flashed as she looked over the curious crowd beyond the bar. She marched up to the stand and stood with her eyes fixed on the Judge. There was not a quiver in her body and she was as composed and apparently unconcerned as if she was as innocent as an angel. Wit nesses were called, and while the court was waiting, she was asked to step aside while a minor case was tried. For ten minutes she stood over against the wall with her right toe pointed on the floor and her left on her hip. There was no sign of remorse in the woman, and she was as cold as the woman and seemed to feel that she had wrought a deed that rebounded to her honor. She stood there unconcerned, and seemed to say within herself, "I have done what --- T. S. C.

After a while the court waved her back, and instead of returning to the cell, she started out into the court room, but was told by an officer to come back the other way. With a twitch of her head she flitted around and marched back to the cell. Inquiry was made by the Globe representative, if the case was over, and he was informed that it was and that the prisoner would be taken to the county jail to await trial by jury. The court room was so crowded that the majority of the great throng did not realize what had been done. When all learned that the case was over, they passed outside and there waited to see the murderer cross the street OSET IN THE REAR WHERE MR.

The hearts of the people went out to him in his years and the grief that was weighting his heart as he strode steadily, across the street by the side of his child who was going into the cell to await the action of the court. The crowd followed her on to the jail door, but Philista was not concerned about the crowd and appeared not to be concerned about the fate that awaited her. After she passed insidl the jail the crowd quietly dispersed. J. Frank Battle came to Nashville about fifteen years ago and was employed at the National Baptist Publishing House in the binding department that was then superintended by his deceased brother, Jos. O. Battle. He worked there for a time, but decided to change his vocaton, and for a few months he worked for the railroad company. This did not appeal to him as he had a genius for business activities. He quit railroading and went into horse trading and the wood and coal business. He followed this for some time, but eventually gave up the coal and wood business and centered all of his energy and business acumen on the Ivory business and dealing in horses. He made this business a great success and at one time had a splendid line of rigs. But not satisfied with one business, he decided to branch out into another, and so est.blished The Palms ice Cream Parlor. The firm name then was Boyd & Battle. This new venture was a success from the very beeginning, and as it grew it became more taxing on Mr. Battle and Mr. Boyd, making it necessary for Br. Bat he to give up the livery stable business and devote all of his time to his ice cream and confectionery parlorls. The business grew with such rapidity that he was forced to make improvements and enlarge quarters. He had built up a business that rejuvenated one of the largest fountains in --- Sketch of Deceased. the city, and in fact, when he installed the one that now stands in The Palms it was the first of its kind ever sold in this city. It was second to none and the pride of the Negroes of Nashville and all who visited here from time to time. Here could be found lees and confections of the very best grade at all times. Recently he had installed a large ice cream manufacturing plant, and during the winter had associated with him Mr. F. O. Sawyers, who was for several years the foreman of the ice cream making department of the celebrated Dorier and Sidbotton. Creamery. When this celebrated firm and some others in the city combined and organized a Union Ice Cream Company, Mr. Sawyers went with the new company and remained with them until he was persuaded by Mr. Battle to join with him in The Palms Creamery. Plans were under way for many improvements this year, and the people of Nashville were looking forward to a great and successful year of this business. Mr. Battle ranked among the leading business men of Nashville. He was known extensively and was highly respected by all On all public questions he was considered one of those who should be consulted, and in his unassuming way, was at all times able to give advice that was profitable. No man in Nashville had a greater promise for future success than J. Frank Battle. He was Vice President and Director of the Nashville Globe Publishing Company, and in fact, was identified wit hmany of the business enterprises of the city. He was enter prising, congenial and straightforward in all his dealings and in his death Nashville loses one of its foremost citizens. On Wednesday, March 12, 1913, he was married to Miss Myrtie Shook, in Murtfreesboro, Tennessee. It was not the intentio nof Mr. Battle that the wedding should be announced until June, but parties in Murtfreesboro telephoned to partie s in Nashville and before the happy couple arrived here the news had spread abroad.

Frank Battle. STATEMENT OF EYE-WITNESSES A Globe representative visited Lockland Springs. East Nashville, Tuesday and found Miss Mary Lue Vaughn, age 20, and Miss Elizabeth Jennings, age 19. Both admitted to being at the place of shooting at time some occurred. The young lads were with Mr. Wm. Jennings, uncle of the Miss Jennings. Miss Vaughn lives on Straightway avenue, Gallatin Pike. She is a friend of Miss Jennings and both were met in the transfer station by Mr. Wm. Jennings, who escorted them to The Palms. Misb Mary Lue Vaughn's Statement "Elizabeth, Mr. Jennings and I were at the Palms, Mary and I had been served by Mr. Frank Battle, and he was preparing Mr. Jennings' order when the shooting tok place. I did not see the first shot; I heard it and looked up and saw the smoke and thought 'j' was an explosion. I saw Mr. Battle stoop and run around toward the other room t the rear and the woman who had shot him following him. I started to follow them as I thought they were running from the explosion. Then I saw the pistol and the woman shot twice again at him all the time running after him. He He fell and she bent over him and I could not see what she did to him, because the lights were turned off in the room back where he fell. But she turned and started back. She had 'aid the pistol on the table and Mr. Jennings picked it up and she said 'that belongs to me, sir.' Then Elziz sheth called me at the front door and said 'Girl, why don't you come out of there?' and I ran out, and we ran to the transfer station and came home." She stated in answer to questions, that the ywere both running when she first looked up. "I did not see the first shot fired, but saw the smoke and thought it was an explosion. Neither Mr. Battle nor the woman spoke a word, as I heard. There were three shots fired. I am sure. The woman ran after him and fired as she ran. She beat over him after she got up to him, but I do not know what for. She put her hand on him. I started to run back with them, thinking they were getting away from the explosion. I found out better when I saw the pistol and the woman running after him, shooting at him." Miss Elizabeth Jennings lives at Lockland Springs, East Nashville, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Jennings, who are employed at the Lockland Springs. She said: "Mary (meaning Mary Vaughn) and Uncle Will (meaning Will Jennings) and I were at The Palms. Mr Battle was waiting on Uncle Will. He had gone to fill his order. He had filled our orders. He was very very sad and had told us about his marriage. He told me to tell my father to come up to The Palms the next day and see him 10—GLOBE WIN MAR 20. and said he and father were going to buy a nice farm out somewhere, he said where it was, but I don't remember. Well, I saw, the woman when she came in. She took the pistol out of the muff she had when she was coming through the door and walked up to where Mr. Battle was bent over preparing the drink and when he raised up she shot him. He stocked over and starred to run toward the back and I started to run toward the front. I met the woman following him, when I came by her and I ran out of the place. I stopped a minute or so at the front door, heard the other two shots, but I did not see them. I opened the door and called to Mary to come on, and she came running, and we ran as fast as we could to the transfer station and came home. The woman did not say anything while I we3 in there." Mr Henry McClaren, a barber at Peabody College, was seen. He said he did not come down in the city at all on Monday night. Would be glad to give information did he have any to give. He said he had a brother, John McClaren, who might have been the man, as he is around the Palms a deal. Mr Wm Jennings was seen and gave the following statement: "Mary Vaughn and Elizabeth Jennings (we call her 'Bessie' for short) and I were in the Palms when the woman came in. She took the piston, out of her waffle, walked up to Frank as he was making up a drink and fired point blank at him. He ducked and attempted to get away. She followed him up and as soon as she could get another clear view of him she shot at him again. I think this is the time she shot him in the neck and the shot, I think, that killed Frank. She was following him up as he ran trying to get away from her. I don't think there was anything said anything at all by either one of them. After Frank fell the woman went up to him and kicked him on the right foot then she went further in and seemed to have done something to his head, but I could not see what it was as it was dark and I could not see that part of his body. I could see his feet only from where I stood. The woman put the pistol on the table and went to the table and got it and she said: "That belongs to me; sir." At this time I left going out a little after the girls, who had gone before me. Answering questions he said that Frank was trying to get out at the back and tried to open the door in order to do so. The door is in the rear. That he evidently was trying to elude the woman to keep from having trouble with her. He made no effort to defend himself, but tried to get away from her without engaging in difficulty. The ball that proved fatal according to his opinion was one of the two shots fired while he was fleeing. MR. JIMES BATTLE ARRIVES Mr. James Battle of Philadelphia arrived Wednesday evening over the L. & N. He was met at the station by friends with an automobile, and in a few minutes he was by the side of his bereaved mother. WOMACK WOMAN'S STATEMENT REPUTENT. he statement given out by Philista Womack that she and Mr. Battle had been intimate friends for ten years is refuted by J. Wymon Brady who has worked for Battle since 191. Mr. Brady says that Mr. Battle told him that he had only known the Womack woman about eighteen months, and that when he met her she was in the workhouse and he (Battle) was asked to pay her he did his dif. Mr. Brady knew that for over five months Mr. Battle had endeavored to impress upon the woman the fact that there could nothing more than an ordinary friendship between them, but that she was persistent in her demands. When she learned that Mr. Battle had married she once it is said, set about to hound Mr. Battle and her husband. It is said the Womack woman was seen in the vicinity of the home on Porter street. A STRANGE PARTY AT PICTURE SHOW A party of three women are said to have acted strangely at a moving picture show below the Palms. It is said just before the show a man walked in the theatre where the moving picture was going on and went to these three women and touched them on the shoulder. They at once left the room and in a few minutes the report was spread that Frank Battle had been shot. It is believed that one of these women was Phillista Womack. It is also believed that some other will be implicated in the tragedy. AT THE FUNERAL. The First Baptist Church Thursday evening was a scene typical of the popularity of the man of whom the last respects were to be paid. It would have required several buildings that size to accommodate the crowd who had gathered to witness the last sighs of J. Frank Battle, who was so brutally murdered Monday night. The beautiful purple casket in which the remains of one Nashville's most popular young man lay was embedded wreaths of beautiful flowers. Mr. Joe Erown, proprietor of the Lischese Nursery said he had never made a greater number of designs for any one person since he had been in business. The emulary ecology was rendered by Rev. W. S. Ellington was but a beautiful tribute of the life of the deceased. Rev. R. F. Boyd made a few remarks. Come to Madame Overton's to buy your Easter hat. Ready to wear hats from 50 cents to $3.00.

FUNERAL OF MRS. MARY BATTLE POLK Impressive funeral services were held over the remains of Mrs. Mary Battle at the Lake Providence Baptist Church last week. Mrs. Polk died after an illness of several years. The deceased was a member of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church and of Galeda Class No. 16. The funeral memorial was preached by Drs. C. H. Clark of Mt.

When the pleasant days of spring began to appear the students directed their attention towards the improvement of the grounds and roads about the buildings. The girls as well as the boys have taken an active part. The result is a greatly improved campus and a good driveway from Centennial boulevard. Obstacles have been placed so as to force vehicles to keep on the new road. This greatly improves the condition and appearance of the grounds. The class in brick laying is much interested in its work. Last week it erected a small structure inside the trades building and got their first lessons in both principles and practice. The wood working machinery is up and the electric motor is installed so that work in this department can go forward without further delay. Those students who are making an especial study of Agriculture have been especially energetic during the past few days. The weather has been inviting and they seem anxious to respond to the call of nature. They have prepared and planted a garden looking forward to the production of early vegetables. Sunday-school, which was organized on Sunday, the 9th inst., promises to be a very attractive feature of the school. Both teachers and students are enthusiastic and great good promises to be the result. The Sunday-school is not confined to the boarding students. Day students and the public as well are invited to be present and take part. On Thursday at the chapel hour Dr. A. T. Barret, of Chattanooga, delivered one of the most interesting addresses of the year. He urged the students to set for themselves ideals of the right kind and then direct all their effort in that direction. Students should remember also to set no bad examples for others to follow. DR. AND MRS. WILSON TO VISIT MEMPHIS. This week Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Wilson plan to leave the city for a two weeks' stay in Memphis. Dr. Wilson is connected with the Collins Hospital in Memphis, holding the position of surgeon in chief, which compelled him to spend a deal of his time there. Mrs. Wilson accompanies the doctor to look over the field to see how she would enjoy living in West Tennessee. While they are away the carpenters and brick masons will continue to rush the work of remodeling Wilson's Infirmary, which was recently damaged by fire. OLIVER W. SMITH MUCH IMPROVED. Oliver W. Smith, who was badly injured March 7th, 1913, at Lawrenceville, Va., is much improved. Fortunately for him, no bones were broken. There was an abrasion on one hip, and he is suffering much from the jar caused by the fall. After three consultations held by the physicians, they were able to pronounce no internal injuries, as was first thought. Being a healthy, robust young boy, everything is in his favor, and it is hoped for him a speedy recovery. ENDOWMENT BOARD MEETING. Duncansby, Miss., Mar. 15—Mrs. G. E. Williams was in Jackson, Miss. March 4th and 5th, attending the Endowment Board of Excelsior Grand Court of Calanthe of the State of Mississippi. Mrs. Williams reported the Courts in excellent condition throughout the state. WOMEN RAISE MONEY TO PUR- CHASE AFRICAN SLAVE. "Home Missions" was the theme for discussion in the quarterly meeting of the Women's Auxiliary of the Stone River Association held at the Spruce Street Baptist Church, Friday and Friday night of last week. An elaborate program in which home missions was the key note throughout was rendered. Communications from missionaries were read that brought forth great applause. A letter from Mrs. Thorbourne, of the Canal Zone, received a splendid ovation. Rev. Wm. Haynes, of Roger Williams University, addressed the organization in the afternoon. At 6:30 an executive board meeting was held to clear up the work of the past quarter, and to make ready for the next association. At 8 o'clock in the evening another interesting program was rendered. Little Miss Madeline Dunlap stirred the lady delegates by her splendid rendition on "Help the Negro Girls to Rise." Rev. H. A. Boyd delivered an address on "Home Mission Work as It Is Operated Under the National Baptist Convention." The financial result of the quarterly meeting was reported by Mrs. M. M. Flowers, the president, as very satisfactory, they having realized $35, $20 of which is to complete the purchase of an African girl who is held in slavery, the negotiation of which has been carried on through Miss Delaney, a missionary in South Africa. LECTURES AT INSTITUTE OF CHRISTIAN WORKERS Mrs. J. E. McCullough is delivering a special course of lectures at the Nashville Institute for Negro Christian Workers. Her subject is "The Sacred Ministry of the Mother and the Fine Art of Homemaking." Her lectures will be delivered from three to four o'clock every Friday afternoon.

ONE CENT BANK RECOGNIZED There appeared in the Commercial Monthly, a financial magazine published in St. Louis, Mo., a splendid mention of the One-Cent Savings Bank of this city. The publication of this news item in this monthly was brought to the attention of the officers of the bank, who were delighted to know that a Financial Magazine of standing had paid some attention to this institution. The write-up appeared in the list of other Tennessee banks. END NEIGHBORHOOD HOLDS MONTHLY MEETING. Interesting Address by Miss Haynes of Chicago The North End Neighborhood Union met last Monday night at the ScoveL Street A. M. E. Church and an enthusiastic audience was present to hear the report of the membership campaign and to listen to the speaker of the evening. The captains reported 75 new members and were unanimous in their desire to continue until the entire territory was covered. Miss Birdle H. Haynes, sister of Dr. George E. Haynes, who is a Fisk graduate now working as head resident of the Wendell Phillips Settlement in Chicago, gave an interesting account of her work in visiting the families of the West Side where the settlement is located and of the work with the children and adults which is being developed by her and Miss Beaz, another Fisk graduate, with the cooperation of some fifteen volunteer workers of the neighborhood. At the close of her speech the discussion was thrown open and a number of interesting questions were asked the speaker about playgrounds, public school buildings and the moral conditions of the people. The replies to these questions brought considerable information to those present. The question of the need of police patrol was discussed as well as the question of saloons. A committee to arrange for the next monthly meeting to take place Monday, April 14th, to secure speakers and arrange a program, was appointed. ANOTHER LANDMARK GONE. Mrs. Elizabeth Shed departed this life Monday morning, March 10, at 4:30 o'clock. She was born June 30, 1852, and was 61 years old. She was the mother of two children, leaving only a daughter to survive her. Before she departed this life she prayed constantly and she said if she couldn't speak at the last hour she would let them know by the wave of her hand where she had gone, and so she did; she waved her hand upward as long as she could lift it. Saturday morning in the presence of her daughter and friend she had a very pleasant smile upon her face. She was asked what she was smiling about and she said she was thinking about that beautiful land she would reach when the sun goeth down, and she tried to sing it in her feeble way, and requested these two songs of her favorite to be sung at her funeral: "Will there be any stars in my crown?" and "Higher Ground." ALL READY FOR SPRING DAY As was announced in the Globe last week spring Day to be celebrated at Fisk University is going to be a big day. Preparations have been going on all the past week and have reached a state of completion to guarantee the putting on of all the stunts previously announced. Any one who contemplates attaching this carnival of sports may be assured that he will receive full value for his investment of time and money. The committee on athletics which includes Coach Welker, members of the Faculty and officers of the Athletic association, has spared neither energy nor expense in making up the various parts of this grand performance. The show which will be exhibited is absolutely unique in these parts. All that is best in the Spring Day performance of the larger universities of the North, such as Harvard and Cornell, is for the first time brought to this region and will be displayed under auspices guaranteeing success. The athletic interests of every Negro institution need to be promoted. At Fisk the condition which is felt throughout our Southern colleges exists in common with sister institutions, namely, no money for athletic engagements, and the corollary that young men of mature years and ripen judgment discourage attending our Negro colleges and seek training in the North, where athletics have due encouragement. For no one who in conversant with educational problems will deny the statement that Athletics are a strong factor in controlling the kind of men drawn to an institution. BISHOP PHILLIPS HURT WHILE LEAVING TRAIN. Bishop Phillips left the city last Thursday night for his official visit to various charges in Kentucky. He was accompanied by Mr. Moses McKissack, the architect, who went to draw up plans for the erection of a new church in Carlyle, Ky. While changing cars at Lexington, Ky., last Saturday, Bishop Phillips accidentally fell and sustained wounds about hands and head. Medical aid was immediately summoned and his wounds were dressed, it being necessary to take several stitches in the wound on his head. The injuries are slight, and the Bishop will execute his work without interruption. His host of friends are glad to know he is not seriously hurt. He is meeting with success and reports his church in Lexcelent condition. Bishop Phillips preaches Sunday at Carlyle, Ky., returning to Nashville Monday. It is interesting 'o note he left on the 13th. While the Bishop is not superstitious, he states no accidents have befallen him before, and he has been traveling-for years. The Bishop now prefers leaving either before or after "Mr. Thirteenth" has put in his appearance.

Although the winds of March have been causing us to shiver and dodge, we have been found performing a part of the duties which an early spring presents to us. Sedge field have been broken to be beaten down by the frequent rains. Oats have been planted and already the neighboring fields are covered with a green carpet of them peeping above the ground. Trucksters are at work with their gardens, and very soon the farmers will be planting.

BIBLE CLASS MAGAZINE. Metoka and Galeda Classes Have a New Publication Just Issued from the Press for March. There has just appeared from the presses of the National Baptist Publishing Board, the publishing house of the Negro Baptists of the United States, located at Nashville, Tennessee, which is under the management of Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., Volume I of the Metoka and Galeda Magazine. This new publication is in three colors; the frontage page representing a beautiful arch or doorway; ver the door appears "National Baptist Metoka and Galeda Magazine"; on one side there appears the emblem of the Metoka organized Sunday-school class; on the other side at the top of the post appears the emmend of the Galeda class. One of these posts has the motto of the Metoka class, "For God and You," while the other post has the motto of the Galedas, "For Christ and Young Women." Between these two gigantic posts, which are emblematic of the strength of the young people of the denomination flocking to these organized classes, is the emblem of the Cross and Crown from which there is shed a ray of golden light. The wording on the Crown is "Wear the Crown," while the following, "Bear the Cross," ap pears on the Cross. The posts themselves have as their foundation the gigantic Publishing House at Nash Nashville, Tenn., operated under he auspices of the largest convention of religious workers in the civilized world. FIRST TIME IN TWENT-FOUR YEARS Mr. Peter F. Hill, the Grand Master of the United Brethren of Friendship of Tennessee announced just the day before the inauguration that he was missing the inauguration of the president of the United States for the first time in 24 years. Mr. Hill has constantly traveled in all parts of the United States. Four years ago when President Taft was inaugurated he made up a special party of ten Nashvillians, who took in the inauguration. Even this year he had made every necessary preparation, his ticket was routed and made out, but on account of poor health and a severe cold, he was compelled to abandon the trip. WILL NOT TOUR WASHINGTON. The rumor is denied in this city that the Hon. J. C. Napier, register of the United States Treasury, will make a tour of the states of Washington and Oregon. This matter gained circulation this week when Dr. Booker T. Washington was in the city en route to the northwest for the purpose of taking a much needed rest. It was said that a special train would be made up and take the party of people would go through the two states and that Mr. Napier would in all probability join the party. But a close investigation proved the statement groundless. Mr. and Mrs. Napier are both at the nation's capital and were very busy during the inaugural session, entertaining friends. STONE RIVER EXECUTIVE BOARD. On Wednesday the Executive Board of the Stone River Association held its meeting at the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, of which the Rev. John Slaughter is pastor. The board was presided over by Rev. T. A. Brown, of Eagleville, who is chairman while the Rev. G. B. Taylor took up the duties as secretary. The real purpose of the board meeting was to arrange a program and to look after masters pertaining to the coming association which is to be held August 5th at Eagleville. The better part of the forenoon and half of the afternoon was pent in their deliberations. A unanimous vote was taken indorsing the invitation extended to the National Baptist Convention to meet in Nashville in September. A committee was also appointed to look into the selection and to make the appointment of the missionary for the Stone River Association. The attendance at the Executive Board was full with exception of the members of the Sunday-School Convention, who were to have met in joint meeting with them, which joint meeting failed to materialize.

ROLAND COMING TO NASHVILLE. the music lovers and critics of Nashville will be given a great musical treat on March 28t. at Fisk University, when Roland W. Hayes, the Boston tenor, formerly a student of Fisk, will give a concert. He will be accompanied by Miss Beatrice Lewis, of this city, who accompanied him in Boston while she was studying there. Mr. Hayes has been studying in Boston for the past two years. He has given a number of concerts in the East under the direction of the Music and Lecture Guild of Boston, and at present is on a northern concert tour. Recently he has won such distinction as a soloist that by many competent critics he is regarded as the first tenor singer (after Prof. Work of Fisk) of the colored race, and one of the most remarkable young tenors in America. The following press notices of Mr. Hayes are of unusual merit: Voice of great sweetness, range, tenderness and power of expression.—Wilbur P. Thirkild Wonderful voice, and his natural gifts enhanced by superior training.—J. G. Merrill. His voice is pleasing in quality, and in the opening recitative and aria in "The Messiah" was shown to good advantage—Washington Star. Possessed of a tenor voice of rare sweetness and force, he shows to a remarkable extent that training which allows full control of it at all times. The sweetness and purity of tone displayed in "Beloved, it is morn," by Aylward, was later added to by the force and dramatic recital of the Spanish Toreador, in "Nita Getana," by De Koven—Cambridge Advocate. He possesses an unusually good voice. The natural quality is beautiful. With patience and still further study he should go far—Phillip Hale, of the Boston Herald. The program will include such composers as Puccini, Donzetti, Handel, Buck, Work Bros, S. Coleridge Taylor, H. T. Burleigh, Nevin, Marshall, Leoncavallo and others. This rare occasion promises to be the event of the season and is looked forward to with unusual interest. Mr. Hayes was well known in Nashville, and now that his admirers have their first chance to hear him, since he has studied in Boston, a packed house is anticipated. Look for the advertisement in this issue. REV. SUTTON E. GRIGGS WILL SPEAK, Pythians of Memphis Getting Ready for Annual Sermon. Special to the Globe.

Temporary organization of the Metoka and Galeda Chorus was perfected last week when Mr. J. B. Caruthers, superintendent of the Fairfield Baptist Sunday-School and teacher of the Galeda class of that church, and Miss N. E. King, secretary of the Galeda Class No. 16 of the Mr. Olive Baptist Church, were selected as chairman and secretary, respectively. The plans for the chorus were elaborately outlined by Dr. Pius, who stated that there were a number of reasons for the organization and its maintenance. Among other things, he said there would be not less than two hundred voices to be trained in the art of singing. One of the things to be accomplished by the chorus is the rendition of a sacred cantata, "Saul, the King of Israel," one of the most elaborate productions Nashville has ever witnessed. The chorus, which is to be made up of members from every Sunday-school in the city, will also put on another religious demonstration during the month of May, when the Sunday-schools of Nashville will again take charge of the city on pubic parade. Three general committees were announced last Monday night when the chorus met in the second meeting under the temporary organization. They were Committee on Banquet, Cantata and Chorus. All of these committees are to be headed with an active chairman with a mem ber from each of the various schools. For the present, Monday night was selected as the regular meeting night. The meetings will be held in the chapel of the National Baptist Publish ing House, corner Market and Locus streets. MR. ELLIOTT OF MUSKOGEE, OKLA. IN THE CITY. Mr. T. J. Elliott, of Muskogee, Okla., spent three days in the city the guest of Dr. and Mrs. S. M. Brown, of 14th avenue, North. Mr. Elliott was here to look Nashville over and presumably to see what preparations were being made for moving Nashville to Muskogee for five days in June. He stated to a Globe reporter that he been to St. Louis and Chicago on a business trip and since he was within a short distance of Nashville an dnever having visited the icty, thought to look it over. He visited the educational institutions and was the guest of Dr. R. H. Boyd at dinner Monday. He is one of the substantial business men of Muskogee, being the proprietor of a men's furnishing and clothing establishment. He is also a church worker, being chairman of the trustee board of the First Baptist Church of that city. TUSKEGEE MOVING PICTURES TO RECEIVE BIG SEND OFF. By Gary B. Lewis. Chicago, IL. Maren 11.—(Special.) —When Colonel John R. Marshall of...e 8th Illinois National Guard, made a special visit to Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, only a few of his friends knew his mission. The public afterwards learned that he went to personally direct a photographer with the purpose of having the various activities of this world-famed institution taken for moving pictures. Now, it has developed that the Anderson-Watkins Film Company is incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois, obtaining the exclusive right of taking, developing and exhibiting moving picture sand scenes of the famous Tuskegee Institute, and its Principal, Dr. Booker T. Washington. BAPTIST MINISTERS' CONFERENCE. All three of the committees that have been auoited by the Baptist Ministers' Conference to look into the entertainment of the National Baptist Convention, which is to be held in this city next September, reported progress at the meeting last Monday morning, which was one of the most largely attended meetings of this year. Rev. Dr. Bushell presided. The first report was the Committee on Place, under the chairmanship of Rev. John Slaughter, pastor of the Third Avenue Baptist Church. He reported that several splendid meeting places were under consideration and really an option had been taken on two. He declared he and his committee were leaving no stone unturned to give to the National Convention a commodious and comfortable meeting place. The Committee on Finance, of which Rev. Wm. Haynes, D. D., is chairman, reported that their organization had been perfected, but that some additions might be made and that as soon as the real budget of the necessary expenses could be obtained Easter Offerings Ladies' 1 and 2-Strap Patent Pumps - - $1.95 Patent, Gunmetal and Velvet Pumps - $2.45 See Our Window Display $3.00 value only $1.95 ELLIS SHOE CO. 305 3rd Avenue, N. $3.50 Values only $2.45 they would know definitely how to begin work. The Reception Committee, of which Rev. G. B. Taylor is chairman, reported that plans were under way to secure a down-town or central location, where the two secretaries, Rev. J. Davenport Bushell and Rev. G. W. Dickerson, could receive their mail and make the consignments of the homes daily. There was quite a number of visitors Monday, among those present being Rev. David Wendell Reed, a blind evangelist of Chicago, Ill., and Mr. T. J. Elliott, of Muskogee, Okla. They were introduced and spoke briefly. Much interest was centered in Mr. Elliott's visit, as it was supposed that he came to look over the situation nin Nashville, presumably to get an impression as to the size of the Congress delegation. A recommendation was made to the Conference that it select a publicity committee whose duffies would be to inform the outside world as to Nashville's preparedness to entertain the Baptist Convention. The committee was not announced. SAY ESTATE WILL HIT $2,000,000 MARK. 15. Relate to the Globe Memphis, Tennessee, March 3.—Bringing the value of the estate of the late Robert R. Church, capitalist, up to approximately $2,000,000. Investigation is said by contending heirs to have added the existence of many valuable possessions of which nothing was known in Memphis until some time after Mr. Church's death. Considerable of this property is said to be situated in other cities, and includes several handsome residences in Washington, D. C. A complete inventory of the estate probably will be introduced in court when a contest of the will is tried. Action for contest was taken by Mrs. Laura C. Napier, claiming to be the daughter of Mr. Church under first marriage and charging that the will probated in Memphis was procured through undue means and when the testator was mentally incapable of executing a will. The contestant is the wife of Mr. Andrew J. Napier, a wealthy Vancouver real estate man. The beneficiaries under the will are Mr. R. R. Church, Jr., of Memphis; Mrs. Annie S. Church, widow and executrix; Mrs. Mollle Church Terrell wife of Judge Terrell of Washington D. C.; Thomas Ayers Church, son municipal clerk in New York City and Miss Annette Church, daughter of Memphis. SUCCESSEUL DOLL SEASON SUCCESSFUL DELL LEAGUE. Lawrence, Kans.-Little Mabel Brown, aged 6 years, captured the first prize at the Doll Contests, that was successfully held at the Warren Street Baptist Church of this city. Though she was the youngest contestant, on the closing night of the bazaar she was awarded the big Negro Doll, which measured 36 inches, for selling $8.50 worth of tickets. There was general rejoicing when little Miss Brown was announced the winner, even those who had run against her had only words of praise for the ability with which she disposed of the tickets. The affair was a financial success from every point of view. The representative of the National Negro Doll Company located at Nashville, Tenn., was Mrs. Farinda Crouch of this city. Mrs. Crouch has sold an unusually large amount of dolls during the season just closed making as many as three orders. More than 100 families put these dolls into their homes in and around Lawrence. BRITONS SAY WILSON SHOULD STOP LYNCHING. London, March 8—Lyunching as an evil which the Wilson administration should put a stop to is given prominent attention in an editorial in which the Spectator discusses the problems of the new Democratic regime. Of lyunching the Spectator says: "A man of high political courage in the chief magistracy should stop lyunching if America is to retain its title of a civilized country, and passionately do we, who love her, desire that she should retain it. She must put down lyunching. We do not say to marry them (Negroes), or to ask them to dinner, or even to sit in the same cars with them. What we do say is, stop burning them alive." IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE IN LOCAL, A, AND N, B, OFFICE An important change in local Louisville & Nashville Railroad circles will become effective tomorrow, when Dave R. Murray will assume his new duties as City Passenger Agent for the L. & N. For the past three years he was been stationed at Evansville, Ind., where he respectively filled the positions of depot ticket agent and Assistant City Passenger Agent. Mr. Murray was in the city yesterday of confer with officials of the L. & N., and will return to Evansville today to wind up his affairs there. During the three years he spent in Indiana, Mr. Murray became very popular with the travelling public and railroad men, and the present promotion is a reward for his faithful service and diligently performed duties. He will succeed W. H. Mustaine, who has been promoted to Traveling Passenger Agent for the L. & N., with headquarters at St. Louis, Mo. PETER OGDEN CELIBRATION. Peter Ogden day was fittingly celebrated Saturday, March 1st, at Odd Fellows Hall. The auditorium was profusely decorated for the occasion. A large audience composed of the various lodges, Ruthites, Juveniles and friends assembled to pay honor to their founder. Mr. B. G. Bryant, of Sylvan City Lodge, was master of ceremonies, and well did he fill his role. The order of exercises follows: Song by the Odd Fellow choir, Mrs. E. A. Cullom, chorister; Mrs. G. W. Johnson, organist. Scripture reading and invocation, Rev. Preston Taylor; song, "Joy to the world," audience and choir. In a few well-chosen the master of ceremonies, Bro. Bryant, introduced the speaker of the evening, Brother E. T. Brown, of Bryant Lodge, who chose for his subject, "Being a Men." Brother Brown had only recently recovered from a serious illness, and was physically unable to be present, with a loyalty to his order and not wishing to disappoint the committee, he came and those who heard him were very much benefited. In eloquent words he plead with Odd Fellows to awake from their lethargy and be men. He reviewed the life and the works of Peter Ogden, and gave plain truths and facts to each department of the G. U. o. of F. F. The address from being beginning to end was highly commendable. "Yield not to temptation" was sung. Mrs. R. M. Perry, P. M. M. G. Marlan Household No. 231, read a well written paper on Peter Ogden. Both speakers were congratulated on their addresses. Song, "Nearer my God to Thee." The exercises closed with a few well-chosen remarks by Rev Preston Taylor. Benediction. The Odd Fellows' Thanksgiving Committee met with the B. M. C. Club Friday night, March 7th, and appointed committees for the usual thanksgiving sermon which will be held the second Sunday in May. GRAND LECTURER REYNOLDS GRAND LECTURER REYNOLDS IN GREENFIELD, Special to the Globe. Sir N. R. Reynolds, State G. L. and General Organizer of the Court of Calanthes and K. of P's piled his appointment with Arion Court No. 134, of Greenfield, Friday night, 14th. His address was very practical, logical and to the point. Among the many encouraging things that he said, was, that he predicted a harmonious Grand Lodge session of the Grand Court of Calanthe in Nashville in July. He also stated that there would likely be several prospective candidates for the G. W. C. position, however, he felt assured that the Grand Officers and delegates of this intelligent body, would handle the situation for the interest of all concerned. Reynolds is a "number one." He is worth more to the Order than many imagine both the Calanthe's and K. of P. His past work proves that without a doubt, he has ever been deeply interested in the establishment of the Order. He has served the Calanthes about 9 years as G. L.—never missed a year. We believe that he could be safely used in any department of the Order. We predict for him a bright future. SELECTING GOOD SEED. By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of Agriculture Every farmer at this time of the year should be considering seriously the question of where to obtain seed for the next year's crop. The scientific farmer has long ago learned that it does not pay to plant any kind of seed bought at any place possible. In the paragraphs following a few of the points that determine good seed will be taken up in such a manner as to enable the farmer to know how to tell good seed. In the first place vitality must be considered. Old seed, that is, seed not grown the previous year, will usually germinate to a certain extent and grow, but good results can never be expected from such seed. Usually the plant is weaker and slower in growth; especially is this true of garden crops, and some of the smaller cereals. Corn will grow about as well when two or three years of age as new seed, and very little difference can be noted in its vitality, but nevertheless its use is not to be recommended. In connection with age do not go to the other extreme and purchase seed that is not mature, due probably to being harvested too early or to bad weather conditions. A rainy season when grains are in shock or ripe in the field will often cause the seeds to swell or even sprout. Such seeds when planted can never produce as strong plants as if they had been harvested and threshed while in the dry condition. Even after harvesting grains, especially corn they may be damaged by too cold weather, when not thoroughly dry, causing the kernels to shrivel and decrease greatly in vitality. It is always advisable to test all kinds of farm seeds, even though they were grown at home and good care taken of them. Lustre is another splendid indicator of vitality; old and dead seeds always have a dull appearance. Other conditions being equal, always select as plum seed as possible. The reason for this is manifest—a plant in its early stage of growth must live on plant food stored up in the seed, and necessarily a plum seed contains more food, allowing a more vigorous growth. The weight of a given amount of seed is usually a good indicator of its vitality—the heavier the seed the more desirable it is. Always beware of diseased grain, being careful to avoid especially the stinking smut or any seed that is mouldy or has a seabay outside. In speaking of purity we refer to trueness to name and freedom from weed seed and inert matter. Some seeds always contain weak seed, particularly this is true of small kids such as timothy and clover. In purchasing these it is simply a matter of choosing the best of the evils. Avoid introducing new kinds of weeds onto your place. Either raise your own seed or buy from a nearby neighbor when possible. Before making a purchase be sure you are buying from a reliable dealer, one whom you are certain will give you the grade and verity that you pay for. Another point to be considered in buying seed is its breeding, not meaning necessarily that it should have a pedigree, but that it should have been improved through selection. About the only practical and cheap way to do this is for the farmer to raise his own seed. Take for example corn; buy some extra good seed from a reliable corn grower near by, plant perhaps an acre and from this start, select enough seed for the whole crop the following year. While the ear is still on the stalk go over the acre and pick out the desirable stalks. The following year select enough extra fine seed corn grown on this one acre to plant another similar acre to it. In this way a few years of selection will result in a fine type of corn and good breeding, and an increased yearly yield. With the wheat crop or any small cereals the above method can be practiced by varying the procedure to suit the conditions. Always use home grown seed when possible, because it is adapted to the soil and climate, is usually freer from weed seeds, and you know what you are planting. If not possible to get seed near home always be sure to get it from nearly the same latitude or preferably farther north, never from farther south. Any crop tends to adapt itself to the conditions under-which it is grown, consequently a crop grown from seed purchased in a warmer climate will not have time to mature. It is very important that corn be adapted to the climate, but wheat and oats are able to grow under nearly any conditions. In about all cases, unless you are absolutely sure that you can purchase good seed that will suit your conditions, select your own seed. To become an expert judge of seeds and be able readily to discover adulterations requires a large amount of study and a great deal more practice. The field of work is not open to the average farmer, but every raise of farm crops can give his attention to seed selection and germination. By paying attention to the points mentioned above anyone should be able to tell a good from a bad sample of seed. Always buy first-class seeds and the final result will be an increase of perhaps a third in the crops over the old method. FARMERS WILL HOLD MASS CONVENTION SATURDAY. The Farmers' Institute will hold a public meeting Saturday at 1 o'clock in the Board of Trade room in the People's Savings Bank Building, when the following topics will be discussed: "The Necessity of Going Back to the Farm," 15 minutes by S.

The women are not barred from the Negro Board of Trade by the constitution and by laws that govern this board. The Board is incorporated under Sub-section A. Section 2513, of Shannon's Code, which provides for the support of any literary or scientific undertaking and for the support of Boards of Trade, Chamber of Commerce and other objects of like nature. The particular purposes for NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1913. 10 CENTS which this Board is chartered are to aid in the advancement of the general welfare of Nashville and all of its people; to advance the sanitary condition, especially among colored people; to aid in promoting its commercial, manufacturing, industrial and educational interests; to assist in properly advertising the City of Nashville and the advantages, it offers to all good citizens; to offer its good offices toward the amicable adjustment of all difficulties that may arise from time to time between the white citizens and colored citizens of Nashville. To work together for the improvement of all community conditions, welfare, and uplift among the colored people of Nashville in particular, and to take advantage of every opportunity offered for friendly cooperation for the purpose of carrying out any of the designs for which this Board was created. It can be seen by any one who will give this matter careful consideration, that much of this work could be best accomplished by the co-operation with our best women. To aid in the general welfare, woman will do her part. The sanitary conditions among our people will be measured by her standard, and as an advertising media, she is in a class to herself. No race can rise above the private and public esteem of its women, and we should see to it that every door of hope is open to our best women, and that no opportunity for being or doing good be denied, her Other races have exalted their women and in so doing have exalted their race. Yes, they have placed her in positions of honor and trust; they have made her Queen of nations. Who is to honor, praise and exalt our women but we are in position to see and know that they are deserving and worthy. It has been said that these women had been encouraged to form a temporary organization. This is true, but it was before the matter of even encouraging the organization was brought to the Board of Trade. And following our regular meeting on Friday night their meeting had been called for Monday. I met with them, and explained to them the action of the Board, and that the name Anuellery was the only objectionable feature. They organized with the understanding that it made no difference by what name they should be styled. If the Board wanted their cooperation, they were willing to serve. They did not organize antagonistic to any club, or society now in existence no more so than did our Board. At this meeting they sent a communication to the Board of Trade which was received and a vote taken to table the same until after the adoption of our by-laws, then in hands of a by-law committee. On Thursday night, following the adoption of our by-laws on Friday night, this matter was taken for final adjustment. They had been encouraged all the time because there was nothing to the contrary in our charter. But when our by-laws were adopted, this document contained a section governing the organization of other organizations within the Board. Under this section-no organization can be formed as part or parcel of the Negro Board of Trade unless it be composed of members of the Negro Board of Trade. DEATHS W. E. Carlmore. 48 years.
