SPEAKS FOR EXPOSITION Resolution Championed in Congress by Representative Taylor INTEREST EXHIBITED Congressman Makes Plea for Commemoration of 50th Anniversary of Emancipation PLAN HAS MANY FRIENDS Representative Rodenberg Favors Celebration—Movement Has Met With Approval of Negroes and Whites. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. Washington, D. C., Feb. 2.—The resolution providing for a commission of seven to consider the advisability of holding a Negro exposition in 1913 to commemorate the ninth anniversary of the liberation of American black slaves came up for consideration in the House of Representatives last Thursday, when Representative F. L. Taylor, Jr., of the Twelfth Ohio Congressional District, arose and addressed the House in favor of the passage of the resolution. Some weeks ago Emmett J. Scott and Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy Department, held a conference with Mr. Taylor and solicited his interest in the matter along the line recommended by the President in his annual message to Congress. Mr Taylor, who has always evinced the deepest interest in the race, and has proven himself one of the most earnest and consistent friends of the Negro in public life, readily and willingly promised his support in the matter. He at once took up the matter with W. A. Rodenberg, congressman from the Cairo, Ill., District, who is chairman of the House Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions, to which committee the matter would properly be referred, and the two jointly introduced on December 7, the resolution in accordance with the recommendation made by President Taft in his annual message. Representative Taylor's Friendship for Negro. Congressman Taylor's friendship for the race has not simply been of the good word type of friendship, but in acts. When elected Prosecuting Attorney for Franklin County, Ohio, one of his first acts was to appoint Wilbur E. King, a young Negro lawyer of Columbus, assistant prosecuting attorney, thus opening a new and important position to the race. When, after serving tow terms as prosecuting attorney, he was elected to Congress, he continued his efforts in behalf of the race. Congressman Taylor knows no color. All his life, and he is yet but a young man, he has been a staunch friend of the race. He and Congressman Rodenberg are deepeply and earnestly interested in the passage of the resolution to provide for a commission to determine on the advisability of holding a Negro exposition Speech in Favor of Resolution. On taking the floor last Thursday in the House of Representatives to urge the passage of this resolution Congressman Taylor snoke as follows For some time prior to the date of the President's message there has been agitation of a proposition by leading Negroes that it would be fitting as well as a benefit to the people, that there should be a great national exposition showing the progress made by the Negro race, not only during the period of their freedom, but also from the time of their coming to this country. The year 1913 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation granting freedom for the Negro, and for the first time putting him on a basis where he must go into the world and be self-sustaining and self-supporting. A great exposition showing the tremendous strides this race has made in fifty years, both in agricultural, industrial, commercial, business and professional life, would be of great benefit and tremendous education value, not only to the Negro, but to the white race throughout the country. I am glad to say that this movement has not only met with the approval of the prominent Negroes, but has been encouraged and will be encouraged by prominent white people and the press. Men of the South are as much interested in an exposition of this kind and have shown as much, if not more, encouragement toward the project as any other section of the country. President Taft in his message calls attention to this movement and the proposed exposition and suggests that a preliminary commission be authored by Congress of not more than seven persons to consider carefully whether or not it is wise to hold such an exposition, and if so, to outline a plan for the enterprise. His recommendation carries a preliminary commission without salary, except as to their actual expenses, and he advises that an appropriation be made for this purpose only. I have been interested in the progress of the Negro race, M. H. and immediately after the message was read in Congress I prepared a joint resolution, which was submitted to the committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions, and provided, in substance: That the President of the United States be authorized to appoint a commission consisting of seven persons to consider carefully whether or not it is advisable to hold an exposition in the year 1913 to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation, proclamation, granting freedom to the Negroes, and that the said commission report to Congress on the first Monday in December, 1910. This resolution further provides for an appropriation of $5,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, out of which shall be paid the necessary expenses and disbursements of the commission, all of which shall be provided by the Secretary of the Treasury on vouchers approved by the chairman of the commission. This resolution is now pending before the committee to which it was referred, and I hope and believe that it will be favorably reported and passed by both the House and Senate of the United States. I am also gratified that the Hon William Rodenburg of Illinois, chairman of the Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions, has introduced a like resolution, and has shown great interest in and approval of the subject. What more valuable purpose could be served than to teach the world of the progress of the negro in his fifty years of freedom in an educational, moral, and religious direction? To be a success, it must not be left to the Negro people alone, but should be a matter in which the whole American people, white and colored, should take an active interest There have been many expositions held during recent years, and their may be a feeling that there have been too many, but an exposition of this kind, which serves such a laudable purpose, should be encouraged, particularly when it will teach the world a lesson, showing how it possible for two races to live together in peace and helpfulness. No place in the world do so many white and colored people live together with so little friction as in the United States. In no place in the world has the Negro advanced further in industrial, educational, and moral direction than has the Negro in the United States. The causes for these advancements, the results of their efforts, placed under intelligent scrutiny, must result in benefit to all the people of the United States, as well as to the world. It is of the greatest importance to the nation that the Negro should be uplifted in every possible way, that his right to self improvement should be recognized, that he should be encouraged in citizenship, and if an exposition of this kind will help the Negro such an exposition should by all means be held. I do not speak from sentiment. I look upon this as a great economic question, one to be taken hold of seriously and soherly and worked out with the utmost care. For that reason, I approve of a commission of prominent men, first to determine its advisability, and second, to lay out a plan for its consummation. It seems to me that the first question before the commission is. Will such an exposition benefit the colored race? If this commission determines that it will, there can be no valid objection from any section of this country to such an exposition [Continued on Page 8.] NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1910. DANCING CAUSES MISUNDERSTANDING Well Known Brooklyn Matrons and Minister's Widow Disagree NO WM. T. DIXON DORMITORY Method of Raising Funds Meets with Disapproval of Mrs. Angela C. Dixon. Next Friday evening at Jefferson Hall, Brooklyn, the entertainment and dance will be given under the auspices of a committee of well-known ladies of Brooklyn as advertised in THE AGE, but the affair will not be given to raise money to build a William T. Dixon memorial dormitory on the ground of the Howard Orphan Asylum as previously announced in these columns. In last week's issue of THE AGE announcement was made that the entertainment and dance would take place, but in aid of a memorial dormitory other than in memory of the late Rev William L. Dixon. The sudden change of program has been due to the aversion of the widow of the late minister to dancing. It is said that at first she consented to the arrangement to secure funds for the memorial dormitory, but when she learned that there would be dancing she quickly withdrew her sanction. The first intimation the committee received of Mrs. Dixon's change of mind was when they read the following announcement in The Ace on January 20 To Whom It May Concern. Be it known that I Angela C Dixon, widow of the late Rev William T Dixon of Brooklyn, N Y do protest against any memorial to Rev Dixon a memory being erected upon funds obtained from dances, dramas, card games or theatrical performance, as each and all of these forms of entertainment were always contrary to the religious principles and teachings of my late husband who was a Baptist minister of the gospel. Because funds are being raised through these means to erect a dormitory on the ground of the Brooklyn Howard Colored (orphan Anylum, bearing the name of the into Rev William T Dixon, I therefore withdraw my consent (given in good faith) to the use of his name on said building (Mra) Angela C Dixon, 106 Adelphi Street, Brooklyn Upon calling on Mrs. Dixon, the members of the committee were informed that it was true that the publication in the papers that dancing was to be one of the features of the evening had caused the widow to withdraw her support. She informed her callers that as Rey Dixon, during life had been unalterably opposed to dancing she knew she would not be true to his memory if she permitted a dormitory to be built in his honor from funds which had been secured in connection with a dance. Committee Reconcilers Resolution. A meeting was then held by the committee at the residence of Miss M R Lyons 203 Halsey street, at which the following resolutions were adopted Resolved. That the resolution passed in August, 1809, relating to the name of the proposed girl's dormitory for the Howard Colorell Orphan Anytime, he reconsidered Resolved. That the name originally attached to said dormitory be withdrawn Resolved. That a committee of READ THE NEW YORK AGE A National Weekly of Large Circulation Appears on the news stands of Greater New York every Thursday Delivered to any address upon application Is the LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM of its kind seven be appointed to execute all measures necessary for carrying into effect the motion expressed in resolution passed. On the commission of the entertainment in charities he readames C. H. Lansing, H. T. M. Craig, J. W. Dias, M. Holbrook, E. Moore and W. C. Greene. The refusal of Dixon to give her endorsement to the bill on account of dancing has occurred to no little comment. A number of letters have been received at Time and relative to the incident, one of which from Attorney Charles T. Smith follows: To Editor of the New York Age: I was indebted to learn through the collection of your paper of the change in attitude as evidenced by the withdrawal of the endorsement of your entertainment to be given by a committee of representative and public, respected women of Brooklyn in aid of the Dixon Memorial hospital by the estimable and kind wife of the late Rev. Will B. Dixon. Here was one of the occasional occasions in which many of the needs, not connected with the profession, give to the needy person the name of the man who had devoted his life to the interest of the race in a man Society where his personalities of worth was fully appreciated. Impressive of denomination or role in the belief. And, we, living far away, are a town where his early teachers have left its impress, regarded not as a strictly Baptist olerant, but as a man of the people who work in uplifting humanity extended beyond the narrow limits of a church. FORM NEW PARTY IN CUBA Negroes Organize on account of Recent Discriminations—To Prevent Justice—Party National in Scopes Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Havana, Jan. The Cuba is to have a National Colored Party, which is destined to play an important part in the political affairs of this country. The recent attacks of Americans to discriminate in and the black citizens on account of Party has prompted such a movement. Fears of a new conflict, growing out of the recent attacks resulting from the refusal of the management of the principal American Party in Havana to entertain Negroes in Havana in a great measure of further discrimination of the particular source have already disappeared. This is due mainly to the personal efforts of President Gomez. Assurances have been given that there is not likely to be any attempt at discrimination in the near future. In spite of this, however, the affair has served to revive agitation in favor of organizing a great Negro political party with the purpose of controlling the Government. Provision, the organ of the Independent Colored Party, prints the newly constructed platform of the party, which contains these planks: The Independent Colored Party shall be organized throughout the whole territory of the republic, with a national character, to maintain the equilibrium of all Cuban interests. The republic of equality, sovereign and independent, without race discrimination or social antagonism, shall be our aim. We promise that all Cubans fit to be in it shall figure in the Diplomatic Corps, and that, as a matter of preference and urgent necessity, citizens of the colored race shall be appointed, but the republic shall be represented as it is. The distribution into colonies of the State lands among native Cubans who lack means, preference always being given to those lacking aptitude for Government offices. As a matter of morality we shall work for the recision and fiscalization of all concessions granted from the beginning of the first American intervention. To what extent the promoters of the new movement may be successful remains to be seen but there can be no manner of doubt that if the organization of the colored race as a political party should ever be effected it would rule the Republic of Cuba. The importance of the Congressional elections to be held in July can hardly be overestimated. It is not so much a question of which party shall return the greater number of candidates as whether the independent republic unaided by American supervision, shall prove itself competent to conduct an absolutely fair and peaceful election. It is impossible to make any prediction of the result, particularly in view of the confusion of party lines, resulting from the continued failure of the negotiations to effect a fusion of the rival Miguelista and Zayista factions of the Liberty Party. M. B. W. A. RODENBERG Chairman of House Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions BUSINESS LEAGUE TO MEET IN NEW YORK Tenth Annual Session to be Held August 17, 18 and 19 CARNEGIE ENTERTAINS COMMITTEE Members Visit Home of "Iron Master"—Tells Them Race is Bound to Succeed. The tenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in New York City, August 17, 18 and 19 of this year. The decision to hold the next meeting in this city was decided upon by the executive committee of the league during its session last week at Carnegie Hall. Boston and New York were rivals for the next meeting place of the convention. Dr. William B. Cox told of the advantages of the Hub and was backed up by Dr. Courtney and Gilbert C. Harris A delegation of New York citizens, headed by Rees Drs Brooks and Gilbert, counselors James L. Curtis and Wilford rt Smith, Drs E. P. Roberts, V T Thomas and Messrs Barrett, Gilbert, Small, Moore and Chief Edward G Lee urged the selection of New York City. At the afternoon session of the committee The executive committee is composed of the following J C Napier, Nashville, Jenn, chairman, Dr S E. Courtney, Boston Mass, M M Lewey, Pensola, Hla, F D Patterson, Greenfield, O, J E Bush, Little Rock, Ark, Dr S A Furness, Indianapolis, Ind, E P Boose, Colorado Springs, Colo, W T Andrews, Sumter, S C Dr W I Taylor, Richmond, Va, J B Bell, Houston, Tex, J C Thomas, New York City, and Dr Booker T Washington, Tuskeegee Institute, Ala, president, ex-officio, Charles Banks, Mound Bayou, Miss, first vice-president; Emmett J Scott, Tuskeegee Institute, corresponding secretary, and Gilbert C Harris, Boston Mass, treasurer Prof Chas H Moore, the national organizer, was also present At the annual meeting of the Negro Business League in Louisville, Ky., a committee was appointed to promote plans for a National Negro Exposition in 1913 to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Emancipation of the Negro slaves. At the session held here Dr Booker T Washington, president of the league, reported as to the progress that has been made in interesting Congress. President Taft and the general public, particularly in the southern states, in the project. He stated that it was practically certain in now that a celebration of some kind would take place. Th question was what form it should take and how far the southern states should take part in the celebration. Part of the work undertaken by the league is that of gathering facts and statistics showing Negro progress in different parts of the country. To further this work it was decided to establish at Tuskegee a bureau for the purpose of collecting and preserving these facts, where they may be available to the public and also to establish a news service which will secure their distribution through the Negro press, to the masses of the Negro people, in order to stimulate and encourage them in their efforts for economic betterment. Committee Visits Home of Andrew Carnegie. At the close of the meeting the committee, headed by Dr Booker T. Washington, visited the home of Andrew Carnegie, at the corner of 91st street and Fifth avenue, to pay respects to the man who, since the organization of the league at Boston ten years ago, has constantly encouraged and assisted in its progress Mr Carnegie received the members of the committee in his library. He showed them about his house, pointing out and explaining the many and interesting mementoes w'ch travel and his wide acquaintance with men and things in all parts of the world have brought him Among other things which interested the visitors was the magnificent pipe organ with which Mr Carnegie's mansion is furnished. It is said that a musician comes every morning to play upon this organ from eight to nine o'clock, and that the "Iron Master," who is very fond of music, is awakened every morning by the deep harmonious notes of this great instrument. After passing from the library to the art gallery, the chairman of the executive committee, J C Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., made a brief address on behalf of the other members of the committee in which he reviewed the progress of the Negro people of the United States along industrial lines since the Business League was organized, pointing out, among other things that, while ten years ago, Negroes had but two banks in the whole United States, now there were not less than fifty. He emphasized the influence of the league in turning the attention of the leaders of the Negroes from politics to business as a livelihood and a profession and finally concluded with the statement that it would have been impossible for the league to have accomplished what it has, if it had not been for the aid and encouragement which Mr Carnegre had given them. In reply Mr Carnegie referred with satisfaction to the progress of the race as a whole of which he has made it his business to keep in touch I have always believed," he added, [Lounge, p. 5] PRICE, 5 CENTS LIBERIA HAS BRIGHT OUTLOOK. Rehabilitation of Little Republic Seems to] be Assured AMERICAN CAPITAL Willingness Has Been Expressed by Capitalists to Assume Entire Debt of Country KNOX IN FAVOR OF PLAN Congress will be Asked to Approve Fathering of Big Financial Projects as Suggested by Liberian Commission. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Washington, D. C., Feb 2—Secretary of State Knox has joined forces with President Taft in the plan to rehabilitate the Liberian Republic. Every indication points to the taking over of the total indebtedness of Liberia by American capitalists in the near future. The carrying out of such a project would mean a business awakening in Africa that would soon give it a safe and sound commercial status among the nations. The following plan has been announced. American money is proposed by Secretary Knox as a peace medium and a rehabilitating factor in Liberia. Important negotiations are under way for the injection of a quantity of this tranquilizing influence into the African republic Gigantic financial operations in these quarters, which only a large nation could guarantee and oversee, are about to be undertaken by certain well-known banking syndicates of this country. As a fathering nation, the United States has found that the moneyed gentlemen of Wall Street and other financial precincts of the country have their uses. Secretary Knox has paved the way for the interesting news that this are about to enter the patriotic role of money levers to dispense nations, but admitting that Congress will soon have before it for approval certain conventions in which the State Department will be shown to be standing by financial operations calculated to binge commercial peace and tranquility to diminutive and distressed republics. To Take Over Debts. Liberia, the republic of Africa, which was established by the colonization of Americans of the African race, has been inspected by a commission sent from the United States. The recommendations of this commission have led to negotiations with American capitalists, who have signified their willingness to make a large loan for the benefit of Liberia, it having been determined that a refunding of the Liberian debt and the regeneration of the finances of the country are absolutely necessary if that republic is to be kept out of the clutches of British creditors The commission which the United States dispatched to Liberia in 1908, of which commission Hon. Emmett J. Scott, was a member, representing the Negro race, acting under the treaty of 1868, which gave Liberia the right to call upon the United States for advice whenever necessary, has reported that the refunding of the Liberian debt would be most desirable. The commission has suggested that the regeneration of the finances of the country with American capital could be easily brought about with proper guarantees, including the nomination by United States of a collector of cultures. The recommendations of the commission also show the desirability of lending a few American officers for the training of frontier police also an agricultural expert to assist in the development of the country. It is planned that the employments in question could be first charges on the Liberian revenues. Race Question Involved: Secretary Knox has expressed himself as considering the matter of great importance, in view of the historic relation of the United States to Liberia, which places upon this government a moral obligation. Its importance is also emphasized in view of the special interest felt in this situation by all Americans of the African race, and of the further fact that Liberia may in the future offer a good field for their immigration, as well as a valuable gateway for American commerce with Africa. Secretary Knox has received assurances from American capitalists that they are willing to make a Liberian loan, and the Department of State is now entering into negotiations with them along these lines. Whatever agreement is drawn up, of course, will be submitted for the approval of the Senate, just as the system of operations of this country in relieving Santa Domingo, in the West Indies, from her financial distress was laid out for the inspection of Congress before it was authorized.

Elevator ADVERTISE IN THE AGE NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL CITY Social Activity at Washington- Mary Church Torrell Dellivers Ad- ress--Other News. Regular Correspondence of THE AGE. Washington, D. C, Feb 2--The winter at Washington has taken very much of a social turn. The Monacans are just celebrating the close of the pre-Lenten season in a well-arranged informal assembly, the first of its kind conducted by the club. Society reformation rather than social reformation is the gust of the current capital discussion. School matters are more quiet than in several years, while political discussion is proving uninteresting and generally without foundation. The recent death of John F. Cook, one of the capital's principal spokesmen and highly honored citizens, is affecting several new adjustments among his many followers, their general tendency being to freeze to his honored policies and advisements. Mrs Mary Church Terrell of the District of Columbia Board of Education spoke before Alpha Kappa Alpha Society of Howard University at their recent meeting. Her theme, addressed to an audience composed entirely of the ladies of the Alpha Kappa Alpha, was "Citizenship." She said in part, "Nothing is clearer to the student of history than that the women of all times have been citizens in the highest and best sense of that word, and they have actually been recognized by men except in those things which would confer upon them honor and glory and power. Having been deprived of the various political instruments, women learned at a very early time that there was only one way in which they could hope to shape the laws of the land. Women learned that they must personally influence public opinion if they ever hoped to be a vital factor in the affairs of the state. "In this time and time women are supposed to take as active a part in promoting the good of the government as the law of the land will allow. I want to tell you that the colored women of this country are contributing as much to the country by good citizenship as are their more favored sisters. I am glad to state that the colored women in this country are doing everything they can to elevate the home life, and I want you to remember this, that good citizenship means good, pure homes. And so I saw do everything you can to elevate the moral tone of the country in which you live." The senior Normal School Class and post-graduates have entered upon their course in practice teaching, which includes the next eighteen weeks. All practice teaching is being done between Summer, Magruder, Miner and Stevens builders. Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the United States Treasury, was the host at an enjoyable stag dinner given at his Leo Dirk Park residence on Monday evening last. The service consisted in between plates, the following gentlemen being present: Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the Navy Department; Judge R. H. Terrell, Gov. P. B. S Pinchback, R. C. Bruce, Hon. J A Cobb, Hon John C Dancy, Dr. A. M. Curtis, W. Bruce Evans, Dr. E. D. Williston, Prof E C Williams, W. H. Clifford, Charles E Hall, Major Arthur Brooks and Hon W T Vernon Rev T. J Brown, rector of St Luke's P. E. Church, has decided to remain in Washington after considering for some time a call to the South E A Johnson, a well-known New York attorney, was at the capital this week. He spent considerable time at the executive mansion consulting with the President on matters pertaining to the legal profession. Henry Murray has taken up the study of law with the Intercontinental Correspondence School. Dr Milton Newman of Seattle, Wash., attended the Monacans' recent assembly as the guest of Dr William J. Howard. Prof. H M. Joseph has arranged a series of lectures for the current winter which are likely to prove interesting and instructive. Miss Julia E. Brobsk is organizing a particularly strong class in ancient history at the Armstrong Technical High School Miss Lulu Vere Childers, after a long illness, has returned to her duties directress of music at Howard University. Her work in musical instruction was very successfully carried on by Miss Maude Young of Oberlin while she was ill Eugene A Clark, for the better grading and organization of the Burney School, has been promoted to a sixth grade teachership. He will conduct classes in the fifth and sixth grades. Mr Clark was a post-graduate student at Normal School No. 2 last year. The many friends of Dr. and Mrs J H. N Waring are expressing their deep sorrow concerning the death of their oldest daughter, Regenda, on Saturday evening last. Miss Waring was until recently a well known and popular school teacher in Baltimore. Mrs James F Lawson and Anna Rosetta Lawson are visiting Mrs. Philip Payton in New York City in attendance upon Prof Craig's pre-Lenten assembly and recital. Mrs. Charles Fearings of Tuakegee is slowly recovering after a serious illness. Miss Ruth Piper was recently promoted from a second to a third grade teachership. It is said that the promotion was particularly well deserved. Rev Walter H Brooks is conducting a revival service at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, which has provided remarkably successful to date. Miss Mabel E. Wilson of Baltimore visited the capital on Monday last as minister of the Misses Howard of Mastenetsetts avenue. late chair of St Mary's P. E. Chapel, in the direction of Prof Charles W.

Luther Sadgwar, born January 22, Jerriam Hayson, in promoting a mid- carnival of athletic sports, will receive the support of the best social element in Washington. The carnival was postponed last Friday on account of the weather, but will take place on February 4. Judge W F Norris, for nine years a circuit judge of the Philippine Islands, addressed the men's meeting of the Y. M. C. A last Sunday on the theme "Filipino Wards." He stated that, in his opinion, the race and labor problems of this country are liable to be influenced by those in the archipelago. The resistance of the islanders to any form of discrimination in their own land, he felt, would ultimately affect the condition of the colored persons in America. The meeting held last Sunday afternoon in the interest of the Stoddard Baptist Home was addressed by Hon. W. T Vernon and Prof E C Williams. D. Webster Davis of Richmond was to have delivered the address, but did not arrive in Washington on time BANQUET TO CHARLES BANKS. Washingtonians Entertain Mississippiian During His Short Stay at Capital City. Special to The New York Age. Washington, D. C., Jan 31—The Hon Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss, was tendered a banquet in this city on the evening of January 28 by the Mississippi Society of Washington D. C., and many friends and admirers The banquet was held at Martin's Cafe Oliver Randolph acted as toastmaster, and toasts were responded to by Splvester I.

Dabney, W T. Vernon, J A. Lankford, Lewis Johnson, Ralph W. Twer and William Jenifer. J M H. Young spoke on "Our Guest" which was responded to by Mr Banks. The growth and progress of the well-known Negro town was related by Mr Banks during his remarks, which were listened to with much interest by all Mr Banks described Mound Bayou as a town of about 7,000 or 8,000 inhabitants, the population being made up exclusively of Negroes. It was founded in 1887 by Isaiah T. Montgomery. The district in which Mound Bayou is located covers an area sixteen miles long and six miles wide, embracing over 30,000 acres, all owned by Negroes. No white man has been able in the history of the colony to acquire an acre of this land, and not a dollar of white capital is invested in the business enterprises of the place. The one structure in which a white man's money figures is the Carnegie Library, toward the erection of which Andrew Carnegie gave $4,000 With this amount the citizens put up a $7,000 building, the difference being made up in labor and materials contributed by the people themselves Mr Carnegie is said to be immensely pleased with the handsome results brought out, and there is a rumor that he intends to increase his benefaction to permit the erection of a substantial addition to this library, which he says is the best yet put up for the money given The Bank of Mound Bayou came in for a large share of attention at the hands of Mr. Banks, who is its cashier and chief promoter. This institution started with a capitalization of $10,000, which has recently been increased to $25,000. It has deposits upward of $50,000, and on a single day the bank has handled $22,000 worth of business. It is able to finance without difficulty the cotton, lumber and various industries of the community, and in a financial slump a few years ago continued the payment of specie when some of the strongest white banks in the State could not do so. Its standing is A No 1 in Dun's and Bradstreet's. It has never been embarrassed. It is not a "savings bank," but a regular commercial institution, clearing with the best banks of New York and the East. The institution is housed in a two-story brick and is fitted up with all the modern banking facilities. After the speechmaking a delectable luncheon was served SPRINGFIELD CLUB'S BIG PROGRAM Ex-Mayor Ellis to Address Young Men's Club—Miss Garrett Entertains. Regular Correspondence of The Aox.

The time was pleasantly spent with games and music. Those present were Mr. and Mrs Ashley Phillips, Mr. and Mrs John Hill, Mrs. Margaret Singleton, Mr Freeman, Mrs Nina West, Dr W B Jones, Miss Helen Garrett, Mrs Elliot West and E B Haskins HUB DOCTOR'S SERIOUS CHARGE Dr. Lane, Cambridge's Ex-Vinegar Inspector, Says White Doctor's Swell Negro Consumption Lists. Regular Correspondence of The Ack. Boston, Mass. Feb 2—At the recent meeting of the Bay State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Society, Dr. W. C Lane of Cambridge, the oldest colored physician in New England, said some things concerning the wisdom of colored people employing colored physicians, even in good old Boston and the State of Massachusetts. Dr Lane has practiced medicine here over twenty-eight years, and what he says relative to whether white physicians residing near the "Cradle of Liberty" give colored patients a square deal in diagnosing their diseases ought to receive more than passing notice. Dr Lane said in substance that it appears to be a tacit understanding among white physicians when diagnosing complicated cases of disease in colored people to pronounce the ailment tuberculosis, and another Negro's name is written on the records at the board of Health offices as a victim of consumption, when in nine cases out of ten the patient has no tuberculosis at all, and if properly treated for the real trouble with which he is afflicted would soon recover his health and strength. The doctor said that he has gone behind white physicians time after time and relieved patients who had been pronounced victims of the white plague and incurable, but had these same people continued being treated by their white physicians no doubt most of them would have been hypnotized into consumption and their bodies laid away far from the haunts of men. It is almost impossible, the doctor said, for a white physician to tell when a Negro has scarlet fever, and for one to diagnose properly a case of red measles in a Negro is nearly out of the question. In a recent issue of a local weekly published in this city whose editor is notorious for his eccentric arguments and groundless charges against those who attempt to do something more beneficial to the race than talk, appeared an article which said it was a shame to have a colored hospital in Boston when free clinics at Harvard Medical College would always be performed for those who need the attention. Free clinics at Harvard are for those students who cannot get enough practice on the regular way heretofore pursued by this noted institution. Following this editor's process of reasoning it might be considered a shame and a waste of money to have any host hospital at all in Boston when free clines are done at Harvard Medical College Perhaps if this editor's wife or sister were sent to Harvard and forced to submit to an examination by thirty or fifty students simply to benefit the students in their practice he might collect his wits together long enough to reflect over the matter Miss Anita Bush, a niece of Mrs Olivia W Bush, who is well known in many cities outside the Hub, is appearing at the Globe Theatre in the "Mr Lode of Koal" company and is the guest of her aunt Miss Bush was entertained at tea Friday night by Mrs Bush Those present were Miss Eve Reed, Miss Esther Frames and Miss Lottie Bennett of Philadelphia, Charles Harris and Anthony Banks David M Chaghorm assistant secretary of the Y M C A, addressed St Mark's Literary Sunday afternoon on "Life" Mr Claghorm took a broad view of the subject and spoke from the viewpoint of men's relationship to one another. The paper was discussed by Dr W O Taylor, Attorney Chas H. Seals Rev S A Brown, Mr Conway and Mr Smith. The literary also paid over $25 toward the building fund of the new Y M C A. Dr Chas G Stewart read a paper on Monday night of last week before the Boston Historical and Literary Society at St Paul Baptist Church on "The Dead Negro". His argument was that the old Negro has died and a new Negro has taken his place. The paper was a very good one, and created much discussion from the audience. Mrs Geo I White, wife of the former pastor of the Columbus Avenue A M F Zion Church, who has been very ill at her home, on Cedar street, is improving. She is being attended by Dr W O Taylor. John W Williams, superintendent of A M F Zion Sunday School, who has been very sick at his home, on Irving street, is convalescing. Last week was reception week for the newly-weds Mr and Mrs Chas A Bradley held their wedding reception last Thursday evening, and Mr and Mrs W S Sparrow held theirs on the evening previous.

Prof. John Hope, president of the Atlanta Baptist College, is in the city and is stopping with Mrs. Cleary of Cambridge. The Bachbens held their regular meeting last Thursday evening at the residence of Lawyer, and Mrs. E. E. Brown. The special guest was James Wolf Mrs. J Henderson Alliston is visiting in Philadelphia. Thos H. Warren, aged 46, leading colored grocer of Cambridge, died Saturday of pneumonia after six weeks' illness. The funeral was held Tuesday from the Union Baptist Church, of which he was a member and the treasurer, Rev Jesse Harold officiating.

J., 31.—A union meeting of the General Councils of the Order of St. Luke was held at St. James A. M. E. Church, Union and Hamilton streets, on Tuesday evening last. The purpose of the gathering was the initiation of candidates into the mysteries of the Order of St. Luke. Mts M L. Walker, Grand Secretary, of Richmond, Va., was expected to be present, but failed to appear Consequently the much looked-for address by the distinguished visitor was, of course, omitted from the most excellent program Rev I B Lembrook, P G Chief, and also acting District Deputy, was called upon to open the Council Dr LeRoy Baxter, acting Worthy Marshal, presented before the Chief one hundred and fifty candidates, who were received as loyal members of the Order of St Luke in the Northern District of New Jersey. Since 1857 thirty-five councils have been organized in this district, now under the supervision of Mrs. Georganna Queen, the State Deputy, and one of the most effective workers in the order She made the closing address, which was full of interest and instruction to her many listeners. Among the many candidates present were forty persons who are to be constituted a new council on Friday evening under the name of Excelsior Council of Newark. Mrs Annie I. Brown will be the Mistress Superior A grand union installation of officers of the several Fountains of True Reformers was held on Thursday evening in the T R Hall, 64 Market street Some ten Fountains were represented and their officers were duly placed in position by Vice-Deputy J B Lewets.

A commendable movement is now under wav among the True Reformers of Northern New Jersey to erect in the near future a suitable hall of their own. A club of fifty members has been organized and have taken out shares of $25 each. This alone will be $1,250 Nineteen of that number have already paid in their share in full.

THE SPIRIT OF REBELLION. One of the most regrettable recent evidences of the spirit of rebellion that still stalks abroad throughout the Southland has come with the trial, conviction and liberation of Sheriff Shipp of Chattanooga. At no time during this period has the South realized that the sheriff had committed contempt of the highest tribunal of American justice, an offence both grave and unpardonable in the eyes of loyal citizens. At all times the South has thought the federal government was persecuting one of its former defenders for permitting and accelerating the lynching of a Negro. As a consequence she has felt that a sectional privilege was being transgressed and her cherished institution of white supremacy to the law and the Negro was being shattered Accordingly Sheriff Shipp has become a Southern hero with all the halo of martyrdom about him All during his trial the press of the former Confederate States followed the case with bated breath in anxiety and resentment. It not only sensationally followed the trial with minute accuracy, but gave heated editorial comment upon the issues at stake. When Sheriff Shipp was convicted and summoned to Washington for sentence, the accumulated feeling broke forth in a wild and effusive farewell. More than two thousand white people were at the station, cheering him, giving him the Chauquanqua salute and showering him with flowers. Ten thousand frantic people were in Tennoga last Sunday wildly acclaimed him as the man of the hour. A committee of leading citizens met the sheriff in Eastern Tennessee and escorted him home. He was the guest of a prearranged public reception at the terminal station. He was the guest of a citizens' banquet on Monday night, of the Elks on Tuesday night and of the United Confederate veterans on Wednesday night. The convict returns in triumph. The South is still dominated by the suicidal spirit of rebellion. In all of this she has sought to condemn the government. It is her sense still to set herself above the federal law and to nullify with impunity the constitution. She has yet to realize that law is made for the equal protection of the whites and the blacks. She must yet learn that the United States is greater than any one State or any group of States. THE COLORED CUBAN PARTY. THE COLORED CUBAN PARTY. American race prejudice is largely responsible for the remarkable recent growth and activity of the colored Cuban party. Ever since America invaded the Pearl of the Antilles ten years ago race prejudice there has been on the increase. As a consequence the Cubans of African extraction, smarting under the bans of discrimination, have organized in self-defence. Their organization already demands respect and will soon become one of the leading parties of the island Morua Del Gada is the leader of the Independent Colored Party, and under his experienced, conservative leadership the Negroes of Cuba seem destined to enjoy a considerable portion of political power. The Negroes of Cuba rightly argue that since in the distribution of office and in the general affairs of the Republic, they are being racially discriminated against, they should organize politically for their own protection. Prevision, the organ of the colored party, prints the newly constructed platform of the party, which contains these planks The Independent Colored Party shall be organized throughout the whole territory of the republic, with a national character, to maintain the equilibrium of all Cuban interests, all Cuban sovereignty and independent, without race discrimination or social antagonism, shall be our aim. [ We promise that all Cubans fit to be in it shall figure in the Diplomatic Corps, and that as a result of the color race necessity, citizens of the colored race shall be appointed, but the republic shall be represented as it is. The distribution into colonies of the State lands among native Cubans who are already being given to those lacking aptitude for Government office. As a matter of morality we shall all oppose all of our opposes granted from the be- fore. ginnning of the first American intervention. If the Negroes of Cuba will abide by these safe and sane principles, nothing but success will attend their way. Under the ever-increasing influence of the American trader and tourist American race prejudice will make the necessity of their political organization permanent. They recognize that only thus can they secure just and adequate political consideration. Through this, they rightly argue, they can maintain the equilibrium of all Cuban interests. THE HELP FOR LIBERIA In the latest reports from the Washington State Department come the first inklings of the way in which America proposes to help Liberia As America has helped San Domingo and Cuba in their finances and as she now proposes to help Honduras, she will attempt to place the African Republic's finances on a sound basis. The following informal statement issued by the State Department on Honduras will shed some light on the Liberian program. For some years the large foreign debt of Honduras and the chaotic condition of Honduran finance had been known to be the principal factor in the weakness of that republic, which made it a frequent battleground in the tussle between the two countries' affairs. It had been recognized that to have an American syndicate fund the whole Honduran debt upon a just basis and to make provision for railway extension and other progressive improvements would be as great a factor as could be found in the search for a new president of the republics. The department has now elicited Honduras's appreciation of these facts. An American collector of customs for Monrovia will probably be appointed to reorganize the nation's finance The Senate will probably soon be called upon to ratify conventions and establish a status whereby American financing of the little country would be safe A group of American capitalists has expressed its willingness to undertake this task, it is said, under such guarantees The bothersome little British debts will immediately be refunded and the excuse for British aggression on Liberian territory will thus be removed There will be an attempt through other and philanthropic sources to provide greater school facilities, including industrial training There will be an expansion of American trade relations in Liberia due to the interests of American capital involved In the wake of this effort there should spring up an infant Liberian commerce and industry. There will be no direct political interference on the part of America other than those possible to the loosest protectorate While one can never predict the end of a governmental policy toward another people, Liberia will remain absolutely free and independent. America can hardly afford to do less than secure this. Neither should Liberia, for the sake of her own future, ask for much more. If Liberia can stand alone and win her place eventually among the nations of the world—and her courageous fight for three-quarters of a century against tremendous odds proves that she can—she needs only a helping strong hand, America, as she should, unselfishly and thoroughly, will probably help Liberia to help herself BUFFET FLATS. We have been asked by an anonymous correspondent to speak out against buffet flats. It is our custom to pay no attention to such communications, but the very fact that the complainant either did not care or did not dare to make known his identity furnishes our reason for transgressing our usual rule. Under the guise of living apartments many dens of vice and license are now operating in every borough of this city. The success of the first ones and the increase of population have made these dens increase, so that to do not a few, but many hundred of six buffet flats are contummating one so real life. I liquor is sold there, there is continuous and of music, wood and merriment the exclusion of that gives the secret and opportunities for the exalted, these together with the confiscations of home attached, make of this new devil's workshop a place is seductive as it is destructive to the morals of the young and the parents of the home. As houses of ill fame these houses should be and could be destroyed. As places where liquor is sold illegally also these kitchen barroom proprietors should be prosecuted. But where will the authorities get the evidence? Who will turn the light on these dark and dangerous places? Surely the initiated will not do so. Those who know and yet realize the disgrace of this increasing number of vice pits are all of the character of our anonymous complaining correspondent. Why don't you, Mr. Correspondent, tell what you know to the authorities? We call upon the preachers to speak out loud and against this growing, cancerous evil. We ask all good citizens to assist in the destruction of these dens so corrupting to the youth and so destructive to many homes. NEW YORK GETS IT. New York by the unanimous decision of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League will entertain the Negro business men of the country on August 17, 18 and 19. In the good judgment of the executive committee, speaking for the citizens of New York generally, we heartily concur. Here is the business head and heart of the country Here are gathered the greatest number of Americans and foreign peoples in America to be impressed by the progress the black man has made. The gathering here of the largest possible number of successful Negroes will not only be of inspiration to them, but of instructive value as to their worth to all New York Inasmuch as the League has not met here for five years, despite the claim of Boston, the action of its executive committee was both wise and timely New York should at once begin preparations for the reception of the League. Each successive year has found the League stronger and each successive year its convention and reception have been declared the greatest ever. Baltimore year before last and Lousville last year gave the business men splendid and unprecedented receptions. Leading white men there joined with the active local leagues with results extremely gratifying. The Local League has already laid large plans for the August convention. All citizens of New York should cooperate with the local organization in making the coming session the greatest and most pleasant gathering the National Negro Business League has ever had NATIONAL NEGRO EXPOSITION A recent editorial of The New York World in regard to Dr Booker T Washington's "Story of the Negro" makes this statement Contemporary accounts of civilization in the making are rare indeed. The earlier struggles of nearly every race are obscured in a cloud of myth and tradition. It happens however, that the record of the American Negro's progress from savagery, to slavery, onward toward civilization, can be compiled from fairly authentic sources and this is the record that Dr Washington has made In spite of all that Dr Washington says in his history of the Negro, of what the native African has accomplished, in a primitive way, in the arts, industry, agriculture and government, we cannot disguise from ourselves the fact that, as a whole, the Blackman's Africa presents a picture of a heterogeneous collection of warring tribesmen, each tribe hating the other more than it does the alien white man. Africa has produced, in a region where no other race can live, the finest and most vigorous type of physical manhood the world has ever seen. But that is the best that can be said of the Dark Continent. It was in slavery that the African got his first touch with higher civilization and his first opportunity to show the stuff that was in him In spite of all the hardships slavery imposed, the Negro survived and prospered in that condition and won the affection and respect of his white master. He did this because he had the physical strength to endure and the disposition and ability to learn. When Freedom came it brought with it new opportunities, but brought also new temptations and new dangers as well. Mistakes were made in the early days. It was inevitable that they should be. In spite of all, however, the Blackman has made progress, immense progress. He has learned that new opportunities bring new responsibilities, and that emancipation gave little more than the chance to gain for himself, through education and through struggle, the freedom that it proffered. In 1913 the Negroes of this country will celebrate the close of the first half century of freedom. It has been proposed that this celebration take the form of an expedition which shall show the progress of the Negro from the time it ended in this country, a well Narrated that, until he rose to the height of an American citizen. We have seen that the Southern white man alone more than anyone told him what we are, whether it be good or bad. We'd give us their ingenuity and help in making it possible. It would not be pretty unless processing to have a celebration in which the Southern people who are more closely concerned in our progress than any people beside ourselves could not join. Inside, in what better way would it be possible to show the progress of the South than in showing the progress of the Negro? More than that a celebration, of the character suggested, is one in which the whole world might well feel an interest, for an exposition that shows the progress of the Negro will exhibit, in a new and novel way, the progress of mankind. In showing the progress of a people that has risen, in so short a time, from depths so low, it will throw a new light on the possibilities of all the dark-skinned people of the world, and add to our knowledge and faith in human nature.

The Irish Nationalists members of the English Parliament hold the balance of power, and for the first time since Gladstone there is a good chance for Home Rule for Ireland.

From almost every quarter of the United States has recently come this same meek of praise for the black soldier, which leads us to agree with Tommy Atkins "He's the savior of your country when the guns begin to shoot." 一 Governor Wilson of Kentucky writing to The Age says he will not now commit himself for and certainly not against the nation's celebration of the Semi-Centennial of Negro freedom. In other words, the strenuous Kentukian is for whatever the nation is for in the matter and the nation's chief has altered it. I hope for it. GOV. WILSON TO THE AGE Kentucklan Will Not Commit Himself Now on Semi-Centennial Celebration. Le Editor of the New York Age, I have your letter of it, both I believe your people will celebrate the fifth anniversary of their freedom whether they have a small centennial or not. I shall bring over it if I do not believe such a celebration complements the heavy expense to the people so many of whom are ill able to afford it. If it were strongly endorsed by a great many leading men it might press the people into murdering expense, which they cannot afford. If there is a very strong general demand for the people to make the people latter people as does every feeling that arouses true thankfulness for great gifts of Providence and true nobility of spirit. I am not aware that the matter has received any material attention from your people in this State, and therefore do not wish to be quoted for the nobility of spirit until I know more as to whether it is innate feeling and impulse of your people or something that it is proposed to work up.

And thou in invading gown halt in vain The awarthy patriot slinks beneath its waves. The wheat is growing on his father's graves.

Rather thou sawt with toward eye elate His lordly senes crudging to thy nod. His soul be troughed from off thy blood- stained bed.

Elaine Goodale Eastman in Independent WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY We think there is no great need of alarm, lest the American people accept with open arms that interloper in the domestic circle, the "affinity."

They might pass resolutions and deliver high sounding addresses from now until the day of proclaiming the fact that they were worthy of American citizenship, yet, all of their resolutions and high sounding plattitudes would pale into insignificence before the fact that they own $13,500,000 worth of real and personal property, the best and strongest evidence of their capacity for citizenship.

The Age, the column rectifying the public, at St. Louis speaks of the father of the white boy shedding tears over it. I think that it will make any one do the same that has a just heart. I cried bitterly myself when I read the same and I have been considering the reason that we have to call these people men. I consider using the term men an insult to any married woman, as I for one would feel sure that if I had a husband with no principle, I would feel ashamed to be seen with him on the street for for one any that any man could be of the same dress a brother in such a turn. I consider them too small for recognition. You can teach a dog, a cat and a pig, but there are some people who like to be called men who are beneath a dog and a cat. I have had fifteen families with a dog and a third year. I consider them a very fine class of people and as tenants. I have longed for some time to ask one question through your paper. Where does the distinction come between us? I have failed always to see it. We are all born alike, we all have all our mother and all our father, there is only one creature we created, black and white. Is it possible that with impunity we can condemn any man, like all others the handwork of the Almighty? created like all others. A colored person dies also like a white person dies when our Heavenly Father gives the command to utter then whether we are black or white, green or red.

NEGRO PAINTERS ON INCREASE President Balhorn of Painters' Union Says Southern Negroes Should Be Organized. No section of the country is making greater progress than the South, though only within the last few years have even Southern people realized the advantages it enjoys, writes President J. C. Balhorn, of the Painters' Union, in the Painter and Decorator. Blessed with a mild climate, less clothing and a cool necessary than the North, thus reducing the cost of living while work can be carried on almost throughout the year. Its great natural resources have scarcely been tapped and in the near future we can expect an industrial growth more rapid perhaps even than that which has marked the development of the West. This industrial drama the Negro will play an important part. He is the ground is thoroughly acclimated and is already employed more or less in all fields of industry. The number of Negro painters increases each year, especially where they are unorganized and work for a less wage than the white man. In some parts of the South they are members of the Brotherhood, in others our white members are strongly opposed. The problem has been faced by the carpenters and the bricklayers and both organizations have decided that to preserve working conditions and in the interest of both the white and the colored worker the Negro must be organized. The employer uses the Negro where he can get him for less money and only in rare instances is the public willing to pay the difference to secure the services of the white workman. Refusing the Negro the right to organize will not prevent his following the trade. Each day's delay strengthens his position and aggravates this problem. He is sometimes argued that if organized he will continue to work for less wages. In a measure and for a time that may be true: the same argument has been preferred against the German and the Scandinavian and more generally against the Italian and the French. In a new cation. The newcomer, ignorant of our language, our customs and our manner of doing work, is at a disadvantage, which he attempts to overcome by accepting smaller wages. Soon as he becomes Americanized, he is the Negro if admitted to the organization will soon demand the union scale. WHAT COLORED FOLK ARE DOING Brooklyn Union Says Negroes are contributing to Nation's Strength. Anyone who went to the Tuskegee Institute meeting in Carnegie Hall last night, and anyone who reads the report of this meeting with a sympathetic audience, that one of the greatest works of civilization anywhere in the world is now going on at this Alabama institution and is spreading from it as a center. The change in the Negro race in two striking than the change in no less striking, North and South, regarding the Negro as a direct result of what has been done, not for the Negro, but by the Negro Dr. Washington's journey the past two years through Mississippi, Carolina and Virginia was marked by the este and appreciation on the part of leading white people. In the North the romantic feeling toward the ex-slave has been replaced by a substantial desire to help the path of industry. It becomes undisputed that the way to apply this help is to help Tuskegee. Booker Washington, who holds the modest title of principal of this institution with a plant of a million and a quarter dollars, an endowment of over a million and a half, and current annual expenses of over a quarter of a million, of which the students themself pay $40,000 annually in cash, to an mother-in-law, wisely adopted the policy of adding each year from receipts a certain amount to the endowment fund. One recent year was completed free of debt, easily through the generosity of three friends in Brooklyn, who would not permit the use of their names. The mother-in-law all that possible provided it. Dr. Washington declares the one test of the institution should be the world the men and women he admiring are rendering to the world. It is so inflicted that not a scheme to help a black man or woman be as black or to use his ancestors as clever, but it is a highly efficient agent, helping the poor and the needy, and the desirous of the poor and the needy. CHERS FAVOR NEGRO EXPOSITION Teachers' Association of Texas, Little Rock and Oklahoma Express Sentiments. Postal to THE NEW YORK ACK. Resolutions favorable to the holding of a semi-centennial exposition in 1915, commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro in America, are being passed with marked frequency by various organizations throughout the country. The sentiment of the Negro teachers on the subject has been clearly made known by the recent action of a number of state teachers' associations. In Langston Okla., Ft. Worth, Tex., and Lilburn, Rock, Ark., resolutions were passed竖ing the semi-centennial exposition plan, and the associations expressed a willingness to co-operate with Booker T. Washington and those who are the movement in charge. The teachers in Oklahoma were very enthusiastic over the exposition proposition, and resolutions were passed amid such applause. The older States can furnish Negro teachers in larger numbers, but when it comes to the quality of the teachers it said Oklahoma stands on an equality with all others. In Langston, Okla., the annual convention of the State Teachers' Association of the State was held in the magnificent structure which the State has just finished for the A. and N. College or colored youths of this State. Teachers were gathered there from every city and rural community near, quite one-fifth of the teachers in the State being present. The program which was carried out showed that these teachers, as is true of those of the older States, are keeping ahead with every recent movement in education. The association was presided over by C.D. Bryant of Muskogee Mr Bryant is perhaps one of the best presiding officers to be found among the Negro teachers throughout the country While in some respects he is of the Tom Reed order, nevertheless he is gentle, kind and decisive, all of which qualities go to make up a good presiding officer The association had a reception from the president and faculty of the A and N. College, such as it has never had before. Besides the regular program, the association was favored by a visit from I. R. E. Lee, director of the Academic Department of Tuskegee Institute and corresponding secretary of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. Mr. Lee addressed the association's practical application in our educational work. Besides the address, Mr. Lee spoke of the work of the National association, and received a most hearty and manimous pledge on the part of the Oklahoma teachers for their presence at its Oklahoma meeting next July. The Oklahoma teachers feel sure that at least 500 of their number will enroll in the National meeting. The association also took note of the plan proposed by Dr. Washington for a national exposition in 1913, and passed resolutions commending the movement. Such a personnel of Negro teachers, though small as compared with other States, as was seen here at this association can scarcely be supassed anywhere in the country. These teachers, as is true throughout the country, are also alive to the matter of the coming census. They are directing their people so that the best results may be obtained by the enumerators. Big Meeting at Little Rock. There recently closed in Little Rock, Ark, the largest gathering of Negro teachers that has ever assembled in the State of Arkansas. There were present the leading teachers from every section of the State, especially the larger cities, and rural counties were well represented. The meeting was held in the magnificent $75,000 high school building named after the distinguished citizen, M W Gibbs, who has been a great benefactor not only of the city of Little Rock, but to the State of Arkansas during his entire lifetime. The auditorium of this building was crowded from the opening until the closing day. The program was of such a character that enlisted the interest of the high school teachers, grammar school teachers, and teachers from the turf school as well as the students from the varsity. A W. Johnson president of the associ- ation with Mrs. Hollingworth the office return had neglected the pro- gram and worked up the meeting that was not begun from beginning and in the first meetings. He takes regular discussions to largely up- port the professional training of the teacher, the teacher and rural sch- ool. He leads the leading paper, makes the presentation on sees it, is carefully on carry it. He could probably call ere it. He brings some com- tribly to the meeting of the pro- gray which had bad help was gave to the other. J. L. H. was at the world conference in the National Airway.

From the interest experts that not only those who attend at the association will be but a large number of Mississippi and the adjoan ing will take part in this meet ing. L. H. of the proceedings strong unions were passed com- mend by Rocker T. Washington for his effort in the direction of the Semi-Cen- tury in 1913. After the close of one of the most successful meetings that the convention has ever had, and after the association had expressed its most hearty appreciation of the splendid work done by the retiring officers, the following were elected as officers for the next ensuing year: H. H. Sutton, president, Philander Smith College, Little Rock, and secretary, Miss Adhee L. Singfield of Little Rock. Under the leadership of these two splendid officers there is the deepest assurance that the foundation which was laid by the former officers will be built upon most successfully and that the next meeting will take on, even larger proportions than the one just closed. Twenty-fifth Annual Session of Texas Teachers. Among the many assets of the State of Texas there is not one which commends itself to the favorable consideration of the country at large more than that of the State Association of Negro Teachers. This association recently closed its twenty-fifth annual convention at Fort Worth. Owing to the fact that the new $50,000 High School building was not completed, the meeting was held in the large spacious City Hall. The principals' division of the association was presided over by William Coleman, principal of the El Paso public schools, while the general association was presided over by H L. Davis, principal of the District School of Galveston, Tex. At each session papers were read in keeping with the progress and professional spirit of the teachers of Texas. In not a single case was a contribution presented which did not show, first of all, the very best education on the part of the reader, and, secondly, the breadth of the grasp of the present situation in educational affairs. The questions of high school and college work, together with manual training and domestic science, each received careful consideration. There is no doubt but that each teacher left the meeting with a clearer idea of the work devolved upon each, and an inspiration which could come from no source other than such a gathering of teachers. Some special interesting features in connection with the association were the welcome address by Hon William McDonald, who is rated as one of the wealthiest Negroes in the South, together with other addresses by members of the Board of Education of Fort Worth, also by Dr J W McKinney, who bids fair to be the next Bishop in the C M E Church. The association had the unique distinction of having had present the well-known Negro correspondent, Charles Stewart of Chicago Another interesting feature in connection with the association was a visit of J R F Lee, director of the academic department of Tuskegee Institute and corresponding secretary of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, Mr Lee, first of all, spoke on the high character of the work of the teacher giving the burden of his speech to the matter of seventh annual meeting of the National Association which convenes in Oklahoma City next July. Mr Lee showed the gradual and substantial growth of the association since its very beginning, and received most hearty encouragement from the Texas teachers. Resolutions were passed pledging the support of the association to the National association, and pledging a special car delegation at its next meeting. Texas will no doubt carry to Oklahoma one of the largest and most representative delegations. The Texas teachers are fully awake to every new and advancing idea. Thus this of itself leads them to the National organization. The association also passed resolutions endorsing the fifth centennial exposition, and expressing their gratitude to Booker T. Washington for his ability to lead such a movement. The success of the meeting at Fort Worth was due largely to the influence of Prof J M Terrell, who is regarded as one of the strongest educators in the South, and who himself is a life member of the National Association, and who has grown from the rank of the ordinary teacher in Fort Worth city schools. He is now in his twentieth year of service as supervisor of the colored schools of that city.

Portsmouth, Va., Jan 26- The military establishment of Mrs. S J Shepherd was completely destroyed by fire on Thursday at noon. The occupants were unable to save anything owing to the slow response of the fire department. The upper portion of the building was occupied by Mrs. Shepherd as her home and besides the loss of all household and personal goods, a considerable amount of money was lost, having been withdrawn from the bank a short while before the fire occurred. Much sympathy is expressed for Mrs Shepherd, for as loyal Negro citizens we appreciate and are proud of our Negro enterprises.

No section of our country did greater honor to the celebration of Emancipation Day on January 1 than Orangeburg the Athens of South Carolina Orangeburg is a town situated in her native commonwealth like the heart in the human body—a little to the left, but always on the right side of life. The Lincoln Historical Society of Orangeburg arranged for the celebration of Last Immigration Day, and no difficulty beset its members until the question of the orator of the day presented itself. The society, of course, desired nothing but the best man obtainable, but to locate him proved a most difficult proposition until the Rev Dr Quick, pastor of Trinity M E Church, promptly solved the difficulty by suggesting the name of the Hon. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Cambria by the reception committee, consisting of Rev Dr Quick, Dr H D Rowe Hon J M Mooren, Col H B Thomas and Prof H P Butler met Recorder Dances and extended him a cordial welcome.

WALTON CONTRASTS AT THE C. V. B. A. ENTERTAINMENT C. V. B. A. ENTERTAINMENT It was certainly a big night, yes, a very huge one, at Madison Square Garden last Friday evening when the theatrical folk and their many friends met in social converse at the entertainment and dance of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, which proved to be the most notable affair of the winter season. Jugging Fridays many evidences of good cheer and hilarity those in attendance were doing their best to "corner up" all the joyfulness and merriment extant in New York for the occasion. Every one present seemed to be in high spirits, and please do not misconstruce the last statement As for the vaudeville entertainment, it would not take much space to tell all about it; neither is it very likely that any one went into undeecies over the bill. Not that the acts that appeared were unappreciated, but taking everything into consideration, a much better and smoother vaudeville entertainment should have been provided by professional performers In the first place, the program was entirely too short; secondly, the performance should have been started no later than 8.30 o'clock instead of nearly 10 o'clock; thirdly, there were stage waits between some acts of more than ten minutes, which would not have done credit to amateurs, let alone those who make their living on the stage. When the association gives its next big vaudeville entertainment it is to be hoped that the bill will be a more pretentious one, and that the management will not wait so long after the bells have to toll the hour of 6 o'clock to "start the hall a rolling". J. W. Jeffrey was the first number on the program and sang a tenor solo, CONTRASTS AT THE C. "Roses," in a pleasing manner Al Brown, who now styles himself "the quaint entertainer and author," entertained in a vocal selection. The growing popularity-of Riker's Black Concert Band, under the direction of Prof. Thompson, was shown by the applause that greeted the musicians after each selection. This organization has worked hard within the past year for recognition and deserves the support of the music-loving public. One of the pleasing surprises of the evening's entertainment was the aerial act presented by the Garcia Brothers Some of their stunts are very creditable, and they produce several thrillers. The only suggestion to be made is that the three costume the act better. Vaughner, Patterson and Halliday have a lively skit which commanded the attention of the large audience They have a number of good songs and dance well. The Alpha Comedy Four, composed of Tom Cross, W H Scudder, Walter Crumley and Ernest Lawson, closed the bill. They have added several new features to their act, which is stronger than ever. "Philadelphia France" Makes a Hit. Dancing was the feature of the evening. For once the tables were turned and the color line was drawn on the white brother. Only dance music was played written by colored composers. Scott Joplin had five numbers to his credit, and Will H Dixon, Chris Smith, Tom Lemonier, M G Marshall, Harry Simmons and Ford Dahney were among the contributors. The grand march of the C V B A, the music and words of which were written especially for the occasion by J. Leubrie Hill, was an imposing spectacle. All the members were in full dress, and accompanied by a partner marched about the hall, giving three cheers to the Colored Vaudeville Beevolent Association. Special mention should be made of the new dance introduced, called the "Philadelphia Prance," which was arranged for the occasion by Bob Slater and the music by Will Vodery. It was not long before every dancer had become well acquainted with the new dance, and applauded for more. To be sure all the latest creations were in evidence, and the members of the fair sex attracted favorable attention. The following committees had charge of the affair Arrangement Committee—Sam H M Davis, chairman, James Slater, secretary; Bob Slater, treasurer, Joe Britton, Robert Bibbs, Al Brown, W C.

Zennie Hunter recently received the sad news of the death of her mother, Mrs. Mayme Robinson, the daughter of the late Dixon, Dixon, founder of the Knights of Tabor. Jolly John Larkins only a few days ago learned that his mother died November 20.

Toronto, Ont., Jan. 81 — Business throughout the Dominion of Canada has been big. The Indian folklore and supernatural story of "The Red Moon" being well received and understood by the Canadian, as against the optimistic humor of the southern darker, thereby forming an agreement with Bob Cole, the author of the wit of Bob Cole never fails to evoke bursts of laughter from these apparently cold and impassive people. One good thing can be said of the Canadian artistic, as is shown by the aplause tendered Alda Overton Walker in "Piccinnanny Days" and "Pheobe Brown." A heretofore unknown disease has broken the female members, especially the chorus ladies of "The Red Moon Company." Dr. Plunk Green, of Swamptown, who diagnosed the cases, pronounced the occasion of the arms and shoulders brought about from carrying heavy fur muffs. Bob Cole and J.

A story from Germany of the recent conversion of the popular singing actress, Frau Hedwig Wangel, recalls in some respects the story of Peg Woolfington as told by Charles Reade or in broader outlines that of George Jones operatic heroine, Evelyn Wangel has the Literary Digest. Peg Wangel has one of the leading stage favorites or Beatrice Trinkfort, and other German cities. She is said to be an actress of great emotional powers, her talent having won her "admiration of the best class wherever she has appeared." Last August she went by chance to a Salvation Army meeting. The usual invitation was given, and "Frau Wangel who had been strangely moved by the simple yet eloquent words of the speaker, was one of the first to come forward." She then fell upon her knees continues this narrative, "and offered up an impassioned prayer for forgiveness and acceptance. The scene was a surprise to her friends, but the brilliant and talented actress was never so much in earnest." We read further "Naturally, the conversion of Hedwig Wangel, the popular actress, created a sensation not only in Frankfurt, but in other German cities. On August at she went to Munich, where she had to fulfil an engagement at a leading theatre. Three days later she went to Berlin, where she was announced to play the role of Martha. These engagements she felt compelled to fill, as they had been previously arranged and could not be canceled without serious trouble and loss. Meanwhile, her every thought was of her new spiritual experience, which brought with it a certain religious exaltation. She felt impelled, at whatever sacrifice, to cut loose from the stage. Her friends and her husband opposed this, but she swept their objections aside. Her decision brought about a temporary domestic separation, but she had seen a new light and had resolved to follow it at whatever cost. "After that last performance of 'Faust,'" she said, "I left the stage, never again to enter the temple of my art, as I have now consecrated myself to God." "In a remarkable farewell letter to her fellow artist, Frau Wangel gave a new revelation of the change that had been wrought in her heart and life by the converting and transforming power of the Holy Sphilt. To these former col- leagues she wrote, in substance "My Dear Friends" Peace be with you! This is a thing which you should recall whenever you think of me. When you speak of me, your words will not have the same sound as in the past. If in the past I have fought for truth with means that were tainted, I ask you now, the friends and colleagues of my sham- ful vocation, not to take it as an ex- ample. Truth does not come to us by human efforts, it is of God alone, and the Bible is His holy Word." She did not wish to write a thesis' the letter explained. She knew that in every man's breast there is a cry for deliverance from vice, for liberation from the chains of error and sin, and a desire to learn the mysteries which surround us. Even Nietzsche had to express this desire when he declared that eternity alone could contain the noblest joys of which the human heart could conceive." IN THE WORLD OF SPORT By LESTER A. WALTON Sporting Writer Has "Johnson-phobia." BEFORE July 4 rolls around we expect to see the sporting page of the Morning World rival Puck and Judge for ludicrousness on all matters pertaining to the Johnson-Jeffries tight. The poor deluded sporting writer of that highly esteemed paper is suffering from an attack of "Johnsonphobia," and to say that his attack is a mild one would be doing him an injustice. As a matter of fact, he is in a bad way, and his ravings have reached a critical stage. We harbor no ill feeling against the victim of this seemingly aggravated complaint we really put him, and hope that some of his friends will see fit to get him out of what the doctors would term "a precarious condition." Here is one of his illuminating distortations wherein he classifies a Negro gentlemen And speaking of Jeffries, isn't it an odd fact that the man who caused Jack Johnson to be held for the Grand Jury for beating up a pocket-detention Negro the other night in a saloon row is Clarence McDougald? A Voice—What's odd about that? Nothing, only that Clarence McDouglad is the Assistant District Attorney who had charge of the case, and Clarence McDouglad is as black as the ten of clubs. But Mc Douglad is the Assistant District-appointments made by District Attorney Whitman, is a clever lawyer who worked his way through high school, college and law school. He is a gentleman Negro. But Johnson is well I leave it to you' Of course, the sporting editor of the World has evidently taken a liking to Assistant District Attorney McDougall because his surname begins with Mack. "Quite naturally there is something in common. Of course the Mack of Celtic origin is a little off in his description of the Negro "Mack" color, yet he is absolutely correct about Attorney McDougall being a gentleman. But the comparisons made are very much punk. In comparing Jeffries with District Attorney Whitman for gentlemanly qualities we wonder how the white tighter would figure? To be even farther what would the verdict be in a comparison between even "gentlemanly" Jim Corbett and the District Attorney? If the sporting editor of the World wants to do some wagering before July 4 he can get good odds that Johnson will show up to better advantage than Jeffries on the question of gentlemanly characteristics. Colored Runner Establishes New Record. At the annual indoor track meet of the Public Schools Athletic League, held last Saturday at the Twenty-third Regiment Armory, the 100 yard dash was easily won by J Ravenell, colored, of the Commerce High School. Ravenell won without an effort. He also established a new record in his semifinal heat, covering the distance in 10.25, or a fifth of a second better than the old record.

In spite of the storm, a large and representative audience listened to the excellent program Miss Jackson read an interbellum sermon most entertainingly. The Protest and the Palaty were most humorously given, but the most artistic reading that it has been our pleasure to hear for some time was the reader's expression of "Little Brown Baby.

The evening passed delightfully and all present felt repaid by the good music and fine reading for braving the storm. ```markdown ``` Conchmen's Auxiliary Installa.

The establishment of the recently elected officers of the H.I. Garnet Republican Club on January 19th was generally considered to be the beginning of a new splash in the life of the club. The new officers and supporters of the new administration represent the broadest, most liberal and aggressive Negro citizens of Brooklyn, and they are determined to bring the club into fuller realization of its objects in its services to the race and the communities than it has in any previous administration.

Two Appointments Made Last Week — J. M. Ralph III. Begular Correspondence of The Ann. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 2.—Messrs. Harry T. Pratt and Herbert E. Wharton have been appointed by the School Board supervising principals of the two recently created groups of colored schools. Prof. Joseph H Lockerman, principal of the Teachers' School, will have charge of the third group of schools. Messrs. Pratt and Wharton will begin at a salary of $1,800 a year. Mr. Pratt is a graduate of the Baltimore Colored High School, class of 1894. He is also one of the two colored graduates of the Maryland Institute of Art and Design, and has studied at Columbia University. During the twelve years he has been connected with the local public schools he has rapidly forged to the front. He is secretary of the Maryland Progressive League, president of the local Business League, a vicepresident of the National Negro Business League, and publisher of the Baltimore Times. Mr. Wharton has been teaching since his graduation from the Baltimore Colored High School, in 1895. He spent several summers at Columbia University and has been a lecturer at the summer school at Cheyney, Pa., for the past five years. There were thirty-two people baptized at Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. Revival services have been going on at the church since the beginning of the year Rev W W Allen is the pastor. Rev Charles Morris of New York City closed a two-week evangelistic campaign at Union Baptist Church Sunday night. Rev Mr Morris startled the natives here by conducting brief evangelistic services in saloons the past two Saturday nights. Dr. Ernest Lyon, who will sail for Liberia within a few days, called on Cardinal Gibbons a few days ago. His Eminence and the American Minister to Liberia chatted pleasantly a few minutes after which the Cardinal bestowed his blessing on Dr Lyon. J. Murray Ralph, one of the oldest residents of this city, is quite ill at his home, 331 South Carolina street. Mr Ralph is one of the few Baltimoreans who knew Frederick Douglass intimately, and when that distinguished man visited Baltimore he always stayed at the home of Mr Ralph. Mr. Ralph has always lived in the section of the city where Douglass lived before escaping from slavery, and knows many anecdotes of Mr. Douglass' life. He is the president of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Association, an organization for the perpetuation of the memory of the distinguished statesman. The Colored Young Women's Christion Association held its annual election of officers last Thursday night. The association is doing a praiseworthy work among the young women of this city, especially those who come from the South to work ican Ledger. The officers are: Mrs Martha E. Murphy, president; Miss Charlotte Davage, Mrs. Mary F Handy, Miss Evelyn Mackall, Mrs. Mary Hughes, Mrs Bette Cormish and Mrs Lotte Peakerwicepresidents, Mrs F. F Palloway, treasurer; Miss E F Butler, secretary, and Mrs A. E Butler, assistant secretary. During the few years Mrs M E Murphy has been the head of the work new life has been infused in all departments. Through her leadership a three-story building was bought and paid for at 1200 Drud Hill avenue, corner of 1200 Drud street. Wildow Proves Claims in New Haven. Regular Correspondence of The Ann. New Haven, Jan 31—The Probate Court officials would have a much easier time in transaction of their business if all the claimants came as well provided with evidence to the Probate Court as did Mrs Mary Trent of New York City, who called last Thursday. On that day Mrs Trent called in connection with an application for the probating of the estate of her husband, who died in New York City recently and who owned some property worth $1,000. Giving a brief delineation of her mission, Mrs Trent went on to prove the validity of her claim. "Now I'm going to prove it that Jim Trent is good and dead, as he surely is," said the widow. So firmly, with compressed lips and an air of satisfaction, she went down into her pocket and produced a wedding certificate of her marriage to the deceased; not yet feeling quite satisfied, she opened her handbag and brought forward a silver coffin plate, to the shock of the clerk. Mrs. Trent placed the certificate and the coffin plate on the table and said she thought that was proof enough. The strenuous widow was highly complimented by the officials for her unimpeachable evidence. A presentation of the work done at Hampton Institute, Virginia, in the education of the Negro and Indian was made at Center Church, in the Center Green, Monday evening, January 31. The ministers' union of the evangelistic services held in Varkick Memorial Zion A. M. E. Church, Dixwell avenue and Charles street, closed their two weeks' meetings last Friday evening with good results, making a goodly number of converts and bringing many new members into the rights of the several churches. The plan of holding these meetings worked well. Negro Carriers and Clerks in Mobile and Montgomery. Mobile Ala. Feb. 1—This city boasts of thirty Negro letter carriers and two private carriers.

Poughkeepsie, N Y., Jan. 31.—Booker T. Washington received a rousing Vassar College welcome last week when he appeared at the college to lecture in behalf of his work at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Eight hundred young women sang college songs and gave college yells while he was passing from the entrance to the grounds to the new chapel. "When I started out from Hampton Institute in 1881," he said, "where I had as many teachers several young women who were graduated from Vassar College, my ambition was a selfish one. I wanted to help and uplift my own race at the expense, if necessary, of the white man. I have long ago emancipated myself from that most degrading kind of slavery, which is that of prejudice and hate." The announcement that Booker T. Washington's early teachers were Vassar women was news to the students, and it aroused a demonstration of enthusiasm "In our schools," he continued, "we teach not domestic science, but just plain cooking. We don't teach agriculture, but just plain farming." The speaker caused an uproar of laughter when he said that he was trying to make the race understand the difference between working and being worked, concluding with the question "I wonder if you happy young women fully understand that difference? If you do you are fairly well educated if you stop right there." CONGRESS GOES TO ATLANTA. Fifth Annual Session of Sunday School Congress to Be Held from May 25 to 30. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. Nashville, Tennessee, February 2—At a special meeting of the officials of the Sunday-School Congress Movement, the selection of a place to hold its 1910 session was taken up and Atlanta carried off the honors. Invitations had been extended to the Congress from many cities throughout the United States, some of which were Muskegue and Oklahoma City, Okla., Dallas, Tex.; Little Rock, Ark.; Chicago, Ill.; Meridan and Bickersburg, Miss.; Savannah and Atlanta, Ga., and Atlantic City, N.J. After a careful examination of the invitations and inducements offered, it is learned that the officials chose for the next meeting place the city of Atlanta. The Congress has been invited to meet there with the Liberty Baptist Church, at the corner of Jackson and Chestnut streets. The pastor of the church, Rev J. W. Jackson, D.D., and the church clerk, Mr W. D. Griffin, were notified by the Congress officials of the action and the selecting of Atlanta and their church. A letter signed by Dr C. H Clark, Chairman of the Congress movement, and Rev Henry A Boyd, Secretary, was sent out as the official notice. The last session of the Congress was held in this city, and it is supposed that the impression made on the Atlanta delegation encouraged them to make a bid for the meeting. This will be the fifth annual session of this gathering of Sunday school workers. The selecting of Atlanta for the place for 1910 argues much in the favor of the movement on account of the railroad facilities. The exact date of the meeting has been fixed from Wednesday, May 25, to Monday, May 30, which will include the fifth Sunday in May. Thousands of Sunday school workers are interested in this Sunday-school Congress Movement, which, among Negroes, as regarded as one of the most important annual gatherings engaged in work among young people in the United States. Such men as C. T Walker, D. D. of Augusta, Ga.; Gwo W Lee, D. D. of Washington, D. C. and J. P. Robinson, D. D. of Little Rock, Ark.; Rev. S W Timms, D. D. of Brooklyn, N. V. Rev J F Thomas, D. D. of Chicago, Ill. F. R Carter, D. D., and P James Bryant, D. D. of Atlanta, have worked for and lent their influence to this young people's meeting, which also has the endorsement of the National Baptist Convention. The officers of the Congress are C. H Clark, chairman; R H Bovd, organist; Henry A. Boyd, secretary W S. Flington, arbiter; Wm Beckham, missionary superintendent, and R B Hudson, recording secretary, all of whom have served since its organization five years ago. PEONAGE INQUIRY IN TEXAS. Investigation Being Made of Charge That 2,000 Whites and Blacks are Held on Plantations. Special to The New York Azz. Austin, Texas. Feb. 1.—More than 2,000 white and Negro men and women have been held in a state of peonage on cotton plantations in Burleson and other counties during the last twelve months, according to the statements of four special Federal agents, who have been employed for several weeks in investigating the charges. There are forty witnesses here to give testimony before the Federal Grand Jury that is now in session. Indictments have already been returned against J W. Wood of Somerville, a Justice of the Peace W S. Houston, a constable of the same place, and Robert A Newsm, Superintendent of the Koppe plantation, in Burleson County, charging them with conspiring, with others, to hold persons in peonage. These men were arrested to-day. According to the stories told by the men and women who are here to testify, they were captured and taken by force to the plantations, where they were held in bondage until the present investigation was begun. Some of the victims were beaten with a six-foot strap when they refused to work. two men had their eyes gouged out by guards, and two are known to have been killed. Men and women were housed together, and were given hardly enough clothing to cover them. THE NEW YORK AND THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1910. Joe Foller of St. Joseph, Mo, who escaped from the Koppe farm after a servitude of six months, told his story to the Federal authorities. SPEAKS FOR EXPOSITION A careful investigation of the results of the Negro's progress brings forth some startling figures. When you think that the education of the Negro practically began with the emancipation proclamation, and that the illiteracy of the whole race may be admitted to have been almost total at emancipation, it is a mark of splendid progress to know that at the time the last census was taken it had been reduced to 44.5 per cent. It is doubtlessly much lower at the present time, as is shown by the fact that from 1890 to 1900 it had been reduced from 57.1 per cent to 44.5 per cent. In my States of Ohio, where the Negro is educated and gladly takes advantage of the opportunities for an education, only 17.9 per cent were illiterate at the time of the last census. There are white countries with centuries of civilization behind them which can not show any such advancement. I am told that there are 40,000 negro students in colleges, studying all branches from trade to scientific and classical courses. More than 40,000 have graduated from the various secondary institutions; more than 40,000 from colleges. There are 3,000 teachers, 16,000 clergymen, 4,000 musicians, 17,000 physicians and surgeons, 1,000 lawyers, 300 journalists, 236 artists, 82 bankers and brokers, and 52 architects. The race owned in 1904 property amounting to $1,100,000,000. It operates 476,719 farms and owns 187,797 farms. This is not a bad showing for a race which has had but fifty years of freedom, and what a splendid opportunity would be given by an exposition of this kind to show the results of all this effort in a way that the people of the country will have an opportunity for personal inspection. What better way to encourage them to further effort along the line of good citizenship? In 1900 the negroes owned farm property valued at $200,000,000 almost $300 for each Negro family. The auditor of the State of Virginia, in his report of 1904, says that the Negro increased the value of his property in one year 154,526, making a value in that year of their total property of $19,544,844. We have recognized that the real backbone of our country is agriculture. The negro has recognized this fact. More than 2,000,000 are engaged in agricultural pursuits. The Negro has not forgotten that religion is a necessary adjunct to good citizenship, and they have 200,000 churches, vailed at many millions of dollars. I believe that the people of the North, as well as the South, should interest themselves in this great work. A commission should be appointed of able and prominent men, the matter should be fully investigated, and I firmly believe that, after a full investigation, there will be a recommendation for an exposition which will be of inalienable benefit to the colored and the white people of this country. This exposition would tell a story of great human interest. It would be the only one of its kind, and would therefore be by its novelty and its landable purpose the center of attention of all thinking people of this country. It would give encouragement to the Negroes of the better class, it would star in the breasts of the whites a spirit of rejoicing in a success to which they have loaned their efforts. It appeals to progress; it appeals to prosperity. It would appeal to any man who has the best interests of the country at heart, who believes in progress, prosperity and posterity. MAKE HERO OF SHIPP. Crowds Welcome ex-Sheriff Upon Him Return from Prison. Special to The New York Acct. Chattanooga, Term, Jan 31.—At least 10,000 of his fellow citizens greeted Capt Joseph F. Shipp when, at 6 o'clock Sunday evening, the ex-Sheriff returned from Washington, where he had just completed a sentence in prison for contempt of the Supreme Court of the United States in connection with the lynching of the Negro Ed Johnson. The bands struck up "Dixie" as the train pulled in; men wept, shouted, and laughed almost in the same breath; women became frantic. As Capt. Shipp walked slowly down the length of the shed he was greeted by his wife. Then the bands played "Home, Sweet Home," and again pandemonium broke loose. Capt. Shipp was so moved that he was unable to speak. He raised his hat and bowed right and left as officers opened a way for him to the carriage in which he was driven at once to his home. Ex-Deputy Sheriff Nick Nolan and Luther Williams returned with their former chief, and they, too, received much attention. New Maryland Disfranchisement Bill Baltimore, Md. Feb 2 - A bill to disfranchise the Negro was introduced in the Legislature last Friday. It contains provisions similar to the disfranchisement amendment defeated in November, except that it contains no educational clause, and confers the right of suffrage upon the husband of a woman who owns property. A bill is also in the legislature conferring the right of suffrage upon women in municipal elections. President Aide Burned College Atlanta, Ga.
