BLOOD-TALK STIRS ST.LOUIS Young White Man Seeks Annulment of Marriage with Girl Said to be "Colored" Girl's Mother Answers That She Will Fight the Case To the Bitter End. All Over the "Features" of a Baby of Another Sister, Who Married Postal Clerk. Special to THE NEW YORK ACR. St Louis, Mo, June 14—This city is surred up beyond measure over a new phase of the "eternal question," which has its setting over a little baby that was born with features "not altogether fair." As a result of this apparently unimportant incident proceedings to annul a wedding will soon be put on and an open rebellion in a Catholic school is threatened. A Miss Clamorgan, now said to be "colored," was married to a young man altogether "white," and because he heard that his wife's sister Maud's baby showed traces of African ancestry, his father has taken steps to break the matrimonial bonds, although his wife Cora is herself now the mother of his child, as white as flakes of snow. Catholic School Firm. As the direct result of the agitation of the Collins-Clamorgan affair six members of the senior class at the Christian Brothers' College have notified Brother Justin they will refuse to accept diplomas or participate in the commencement exercises, June 23, if a diploma is given to Albert Wilkinson, a colored boy. Brother Justin announced that Wilkinson will receive his diploma publicly on that date, and that the others of the class may attend or stay away, as they please. Mrs Louis P. Clamorgan vows that she will resist to the last John B. Collins's suit to annul his marriage to her daughter Cora because he has discovered, she has Negro blood in her veins. Mrs. Clamorgan, who never would be taken for a colored woman, and her husband have offered for sale their home. No 7122 Marie avenue, Ellendale. They will use the money thus obtained to fight the annulment suit in the courts. Mrs. Clamorgan says she will resist the annulment because if Collins wins it cora's baby will be left fatherless. The baby looks as white as any Caucanian baby. Its parents eloped and were married on August 16, 1910. Mrs. Clamorgan and Mrs. Collins are willing that young Collins—he's only twenty, his wife seventeen—should obtain a legal separation, then the baby will still have a father. Besides, Mrs. Collins may sue Owen L. Collins, her father-in-law a wealthy engineer, for alienating her husband's affections. On the other hand, the elder Collins has directed his counsel, former Lient-Gov. Charles P. Johnson, to have the marriage annulled if it is legally possible. Singularly enough, Governor Johnson says he well remembers that Cora's grandfather ran a barber shop in Pine street many years ago. Governor Johnson was often shaved there. He says Clamorgan was a mulatto, "about half white." Case an Interesting One. Her devotionism, the reappearance of her characteristics after even more than three generations, all have passed a remarkable case. White as she is, Mrs Clamorgan's maiden name was M. Dugal, and she is said to be of a well known in colored circles. Her life is employed at the City Hall, is light complexioned and comfortable, a white man easily. But she is a Negro to his fellow emigrants, at the Board of Public Imprisonment, which pass him. He insists that more than one thirty-seven years is not lived in him. Her daughter is still and her daughter all over one they were of whom descended from the Spaniards and were clumbers for a century, and were granted their ancestors many years by the Spanish Government, a nation of vigilant services rendered to some of the earlier Clamor-gans. Together satisfied factorily enough for usually dark complexion of the girls and for their wavy Family of Girls There are girls of the Clamorgan children. Five are girls. Two are pupils in the School public schools and Ben Blewett, perpetendant of schools, said yesterday he would see that the laws prohibiting the education of white and Negro pupils in the same schools were enforced. Maud Clamorgan became the wife of THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN HARRIET TUBMAN Now almost one hundred years old and sad to be destitute L. E. J. Davis, a clerk in the Post Office. Walter, the son, who was graduated from high school as a white person, is employed by an automobile company. Mrs. Davis had a baby girl not long ago. The baby has reverted to its Negro ancestors, however remote, and has most of their characteristics. Thus the Clamorgans' descent was discovered, and around this the battle rages. PYTHIANS PREPARING Indianapolis Expects 10,000 Visitors at the August Convention, and General Jackson Prepares for Many Soldiers at Camp Strauther—Special Rates Granted. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Indianapolis, Ind., June 14.—This city is now extremely busy preparing for the entertainment of the Suprem Leodge of the Knights of Pythias, and the sixth encampment of the military department, named this year in honor of the late John W. Strauther. Camp Strauther will be opened Sunday, August 20, while the Supreme Lodge proper will convene the following Monday morning Year after year the Supreme Lodge grows not in HARRIET Now almost one hundred year representation but in the number of people that it draws to the meetings. The Court of Calanthe, Supreme Worthy Counselor J L. Jones presiding, will meet at the same time, and thousands of women will be present from all sections. The committee in charge is preparing to receive and entertain 10,000 visitors. On account of the satisfactory rates granted by the railroads the South will send up an increased number of visitors. MaJ. Gen. R. R. Jackson is already preparing to put his camp in readiness. Grand Councellor Ernest G. Tidrington is working with the local committees to make the affair in every way successful. The officers are George P. Stewart, chairman, Leon T. Davison, treasurer, Remus Moore, secretary, Dr J H Ward, chairman committee on publicity, Dr E. R Gaddie, chairman committee on receptions and James N Shelton, chairman committee on home and halls.

With only one exception, the largest class to graduate from Pearl High School, of which Prof Frank G. Smith is principal, will receive diplomas to morrow. The present class members number 30, ten boys and twenty girls. The Pearl High under Prof Smith, is perhaps the leading high school of the South. The exercises will be held at the Kymnastics Auditorium, and the famous Glee Club will furnish the music. NEGRO DOCTOR A HERO Special to The New York Am Pittsburg, Pa. June 14. Dr. W. W. Christian proved to be quite a hero at the recent Last End Day. While the cremen were heroically fighting the James and rescuing women and children, one of their number fell on the burning roof from suffocation. A call was made for a doctor. Mindful of the danger into which he was going Dr. Christian went to the burning roof and relieved the suffering fireman. It is worthy of note that while the daily papers gave detailed accounts of the fire, not one of them mentioned this heroic act of this Negro doctor.

Not until Harriet Tubman, the aged and one time daring conductor on the "Underground Railroad," was taken last week to her own porchouse at Auburn, N. Y., did the public stop to recall in this season of Civil War anniversaries just what the conditions really were which brought about that war, says the New York Evening Sun, in a remarkable review of the period in which Mrs. Tubman was a great figure. For, while TUBMAN is old and said to be destitute ON THE LINE OF THE U One of the principal crossing places for village. On the church of the tug old time out advertis the establishment of the last few weeks have started the generation, renewing cents for the front they have left us rather vague and unconceived as to what we are setting out. Of course it is unestablished that the war was fought to keep the Southern States from seeding and that they attempted withdraw be on slivers, but the fever of those times has cooled so thoughtfully, that such a bitter and inflaming war as the Underground Railroad has almost been for kutter. Although this is the situation toward which oratory for thirty years has been working, on the other hand, unless the gum events which caused the war are now and then reviewed we cannot understand a character like Harriet Tubman. Piloted Many to Freedom. Nowadays, Eliza's race across the ice in vaudeville by fat men in mother hubbards has become stale even as a joke. But Harriet Tubman could testify to nineteen such escapes from Southern boundaries in which she piloted 300 slaves to freedom. While it may be comical to see Eliza hopping from dictionary to encyclopedia with a rag doll in his arms, there was no humor in the THE STREET CENTER original flights except the protuesque fact that such things were taking place in a republic. With a black face ashen gray, usually barefooted, hasty and in rags, the fugitive ran hour after hour at night, with bloodbounds of joy baying in the woods behind him. There was nothing to guide him but the remarkable instinct of the Negro race, his homely observations of moss on the north tree trunks, the direction of flowering streams; or, if crossing the wastes of the Appalachian Mountains, he would keep his face turned toward the North Star. North was the only possible direction for the runaway slaves. This was not only because every step south would carry him that much deeper into the system and farther away from Canada, but because the terrors of slavery increased in the ratio of the distance below the Mason and Dixon line, Mark Twain, in "Pudd'd'head Wilson" describes in a sentence, what Harriet Beecher Stowe enlarged upon in chapters, when the Missouri master exhales to his household slaves. "I will not only sell you—but I will sell you down the river," and the amber adds, "It was equivalent to condemning them to hell." Instinct a-Power. Considering the importance of the slaves, with all the handicaps, legal and geographical, against escape, it seems strange indeed that the Underground Railroad could spirit more than 50,000 of them away to Canada. The closeness of the organization along the routes of travel in the free States, with the alert intelligence required, makes it appear peculiar on the surface that such ways and operations could be familiar to the Negroes. Yet Southern people understand that what Negroes back in intelligence they make up in intuition, so that information could spread among them through counties and even States in a way their educated masters could not grasp. Even in the South to-day, when this old intuitive proficiency has waned, it as said that household servants sense events and circumstances without ever needing to be told. For such a situation no one was better qualified than Harrise Tubman. Possessing all the voodoo qualities of her Ashantee lineage, her power of premonition was exceptional. Added to that, she had extraordinary cutting. This intelligence, with her initiative and religious fervor, made her out to be, according to Northern imagination as a beautiful and UNDERGROUND RAILROAD fugitives on the Chuo River at Steulen live Jaws in Boston and a typical runaway Negro gitted outroom a counterpart, in fact, of Mark Twain's Roxy. But Harriet Folman, it turned out to those who met her, was a genuine African, black and brawny, with remarkable strength. Power of the Bible As well all the Negro Harriet's native mysticism was applied to religion. The Old Testament was a great boon to the slave, furnishing allegorical pictures of his own life in terms which he could appreciate and understand. And his bondage was likened to that of the Children of Israel in Egypt, and the action of Jehovah then gave him an absolute faith in its repetition. Harriet's excursions into the slave country were regarded by her as journeys into Egypt, and just as the angel of the Lord shielded the righteous then among their ancient enemies she felt herself to be equally guarded and sustained. This gave her a fearlessness in the face of danger and death which even her own battle-scarred ancestry could not implant. But it was not only the Negro who based his actions and convictions on the Bible in those days. One has but to turn through a library index on slavery A man carrying a bag and a rifle runs away from a building. NOT GOING TO LEAVE THE METHODIST CHURCH Says Secretary Norwood of Washington Annual Conference MISTAKES OF THE PAST Not Only is Colored Membership to Remain, But WILL Invite Prodigals to Return. Special to The New York Agn. Washington, D. C., June 14.—The question of the colored members of the Methodist Episcopal Church withdrawing therefrom and either setting up a church of their own or going in with one of the three established churches among colored people, is still the talk of the members of the Washington Annual Conference, where the sentiment against withdrawing is overwhelming. There is no leader in that body who wants to leave the mother church, and it is said that the attitude of this conference reflects the attitude of the members throughout the country. It is said, also, that there is change of heart on the part of the bishops of the church who now see the lack of wisdom in any agitation for separation. Norwood Issues Statement. While here and there among high officials of the church there is a voice calling for the peaceable withdrawal of the colored members, it is the opinion of both white and colored leaders in the church that a vote on the proposition would result in a landslide for the "standpatters." The Rev. S. H. Norwood, one of the prominent ministers in the church and secretary of the Washington Annual Conference, replying to the question, "Should the Colored Members of the Methodist Episcopal A Church Leave Their Church," issues the following statement. Our answer to this question is to we have two records of colored Methodism the A M E Z's and the A M E Z's, who went out about a century ago, and the record of ourselves who remained in the M E Church. By this record we must decide. These colored members who went out and organized distinctive colored churches are now accused of being guilty of organically setting up Jim Crowism, race segregation in high places, in spiritual things, in the Christian Church, from which it has spread and become incorporated, organised and legalized in all things spiritual and temporal, until now when we make protest against " Jim Crowism" we are told that you colored people started it. Movements that are good are helpful to mankind in general and not to a few in particular Colored Methodist Imitators? Colored Methodist Imitators? We are opposed to class legislation, and we as a race do not want to be guilty of that. If other people are We suffer from that now in traveling the public highways, in our school systems, in politics. Their coming out did not beget any new thing They simply became imitators They are out of the M. E. Church in organization, but in substance they are still in They are mere copyists They are still in the white man's church They have developed nothing new. They have not even demonstrated the capacity of the race for self-government because of their environment. Had they gone to the land of "Nod" and set up business for themselves they could have demonstrated the race capacity or incapacity for self-government. They went outside to secure what they wanted to secure on the inside the equality of Christians in religious things We may not secure it on the inside They surely cannot hope to secure it on the outside. Made a Mistake In Leaving. Would it have been wise for the Abolitionists to have left the country to fight slavery? They knew better than that. They remained in the inside and fought it. And fought it to death. They set up a race church, which is not an ideal Christian Church, which has surely tended to increase race agonism. Sectarianism is productive of strife among the same people even. How much more then must race churches be productive of strife among different races. They stand in the community as monuments to strife and prejudice. We have an object in view. That object is to secure a Christian's right in the church where we are. The "bishopric" and other offices are incidental to this principle. On this principle we have stood and do stand, even if we do receive the snubs of white brethren and the vituperation of black brethren. Here we stand more nearly than our brothers of black or white, demonstrating the spirit of the Master. Invite Colored Methodists Back. We have 300,000 colored members. The A. M. E. Z. and the A. M. E. churches have about 1,400,000. In a general conference of about 800 delegates we have about 90 colored members. Suppose this other one and one-half million Negroes had their教堂 home with us? The talk would be the other way. Instead of inviting us out, we feel like inviting you home to help us fight the battle of the race and of God. The church is a constitutional and religious body. We are not there because of sociability, but because we are constitutional members and do not propose to throw away our membership as you did, nor have it taken away from us except by law. We are sorry these other colored members sold out so cheaply. Do not invite us out, but encourage us to stay and secure our rights to the utmost degree A ALL IN, DOWN AND OUT.

SEAL REMAINS HIDDEN At Fall of Richmond It Was Put Away by Jeff Davis's Faithful Servant Bent With Age, James Joseph Vows That He Is Still Trust to Trust Who Put Faithful Negro on a Good Salary, and Give Him an Indefinite Leave of Absence. Special to THE NEW YORK AGN. Washington, D. C., June 14.—Senators and Congressmen, as well as students. of history, are puzzled over, so well as interested, in the story of the great seal of the rebel South as told by James H. Jones, once the body-guard of Jeff Davis, president of the Southern Confederacy, and now, though age behind him low, an idol of the Southern element that is so loud a factor in the life of national capital. Next to a "hurrah for the gray, down with the Negro" orator, the South dearly loves a colored man who call himself a "Confed." There are few persons in the United States to-day more interesting than James H. Jones, the Negro who served through the Civil War as a body-guard and personal servant to Jefferson Davis. Probably, also, there is no man who has adhered with greater tenacity to a promise than this aged man, who time after time, has refused to disclose the secret of where he hid the great Confederate seal, just before Richmond was evacuated, although museums, patriotic societies, and public-granted individuals have offered him small fortunes for his knowledge. Made to take a solemn oath by President Davis that he would hide the seal in some spot where it could not be found, and never disclose its whereabouts, Jones has been true to his trust to to-day, and he declares that there is not enough money in this world to tempt him to break his trust. Jones who is part Cherokee Indian, is a stanch Confederate, probably for other reason than Jefferson Davis was the head of the cause. Regarded highly by his employer, honored by Mrs. Davis, and treated as a friend by the children of President Davis, all of whom, with one exception, he has carried to their last resting place in the family plot in Richmond, the suggestion that he give or sell, the secret brings tears of righteous indignation into the old man's eyes. Bent almost double with age, and barely able to walk from one end of the room to the other, and well nigh penniless, he however, had his reward for his loyalty in the friendship of the most prominent Southerners in the United States Senate to-day. Southerners Look After Him. Through the influence of these friends he was appointed to the stationery room in the Senate wing of the Capitol, and although his health has prevented him from attending to his duties for over two years, he has been allowed indefinite sick leave on full salary. Jones was born a "free" man more than 82 years ago. His childhood was spent in the town of his birth, Raleigh, N.C. where he lived until the death of his father, James H Jones. Then leaving his mother, who was almost a pureblooded Cherokee Indian, he started in to earn his own living. While working in the old St. Charles Hotel, in New Orleans, in 1859 Jefferson Davis took a liking to him and engaged him as personal servant and bodyguard. From the first day of his employment Mr Davis imposed the utmost confidence in his valet, and though Jones had been called a trusty servant by many of his former employers, he never enjoyed quite so much confidence as that which Davis placed him in. It was this which brought about, he says, his great faithfulness to the Confederate leader Faithful to the End From the moment that the first gun of the Civil War was fired at Fort Sumter until he was released from Fort Monroe, where he had been imprisoned with his employer. Jones never left President Davis, except on the one occasion, shortly before the fall of Richmond, when Mr Davis sent him with Mrs. Davis and the children together with about $13,000,000, to Charlotte, N. C. After taking Mrs. Davis and the children there, he hauled the money around in a freight car, he says, from place to place through the South until he was relieved of his charge by Capt. Parker, near Washington, Ga. After he had been relieved of his charge in Washington, Ga, he returned with all haste to Richmond, where he helped President Davis prepare for the last flight. They fled from the fallen Confederate capital together, generally traveling by night. Mr Davis and his servant encamped on the night of May (Continued on Page D) The stewardesses of Bethel Church will have a parlor social at the residence of Kris. Gertitude will be on Wednesday.

Montreal's Most Prominent and Montreal's Most Passed Away—A Kentucky Boy, He Was Montreal, Can, June 13.—Montreal was shouted with sadness on May 21, when Edward Durant died. Mr. Durant was born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, 43 years ago, and was reared in Tennessee. He came to Montreal sixteen years ago a poor boy, but was determined to succeed. He worked steadily and accumulated quite a fortune. He was said to be the wealthiest colored man in Montreal. He was large hearted and respected. He was the proprietor of the Utopia Club of Montreal, a place for the young men of the city. He was well known throughout Canada and the states, as the boys on the two railroads have carried his worth abroad. A little more than six months ago his new club was finished, and the interior alone cost him over $4,000. It was a beautiful place, with baths and reading rooms, beautiful parlor, pool and billiard tables and other amusements for the men. After everything was completed Mr Durant and his wife took a three months' trip to the West Indies for his health. While absent his club took fire and his automobile was also destroyed. He J. remained away, however, two months longer and then returned looking the picture of health.

To-night there will be a meeting at St. Mark's Church in Firty-third street. It is called by men who love both their people and their city, and who are pained at the shocking proposals of mob-law that has grown brazen in these environs as the pulpit and daily press of the city have grown silent. This is no meeting of anarchists, nor a gathering seeking revenge. It will measure the extent of the encroachments of mob-law, count the danger and publish a protest. It will be a mainly meeting of manly men, all American citizens, full-fledged citizens, with a record of two centuries behind them, who will congregate in orderly fashion to consider their rights and rights of their race as citizens of New York and the United States. The situation will be unfolded, and a protest will be formulated against crimes visited upon unoffending colored men. There is a time for everything, and now is the time to protest. When the time comes for action of another character that time will take care of itself. Come out to night. Let all come, men and women, who love liberty and are determined to have it. DUTY SHIRKED. Eastward on this page is a very brave and fitting editorial, taken from the greatest weekly in America, on the infamous segregation acts of Baltimore, a city where segregation twenty years ago would have brought on a revolution in the first families. Segregation is something like locking the stable door after the horse is out. Miscegregation and commingling of all kinds have given the nation not only a million and a half of mixed bloods, half-whites and others whose color defies the lenses, but also the spirit of the empire. That, however, we are not now to discuss,idding subject though it always is. The Independent, after touching the working of segregation and the spirit of it, observes: Here is a duty for ministers to do some proaching on the prime principles of the Christian religion. Prime principles! Christian religion! Familial sounds these figures of speech possess! Does America have preachers that profess to preach Christ? It is rather strange that we have not before heard of them. We knew that there were many with long black coats, collars buttoned behind, and a gold lettered Bible, going among the people, calling a Holy name. But preachers of His word! And yet it may occur that in the midst of much we see nothing at all. Once there lived a preacher named Beecher, another was called Parker, and still another answered to the call of Phillips Brooks. Then there was John Hall. These we know threw themselves in the name of Christ against injustice, against slavery, against wickedness wherever found. That they had any successors here, except, of course, in the darker hued followers of the Prince of Nazereth, we had heard nothing of Surely preachers of the religion of Christ could not remain silent the while human beings were hanged and burned at the stake, free speech denied American citizens, jim-crow cars were cross cutting the country, and the baffot withholden from the sons of those who fought to keep the nation together We have heard of these Charles Jefferson, Robert S MacArthur, Charles H. Parkhurst, Newell Dwight Hillis. Frederick Lynch, S. Parkes Cadman, Thomas R. Slicer, and many another These, we say, we heard belonged to a cult of some kind. Certainly they do not say that the Jesus Christ whom we serve in tears and love is also their King and Prince! We would not say that Mammon is their God, but is it too much to say that they are on more intimate terms with Mammon than the God whose dominion is all the world, and who yet marks a sparrow's fall! With us the Independent is law. Will they tell us that those are preachers still who do not preach against crimes at their door? UNCERTAIN AND UNSOLVABLE In another place of this newspaper is a remarkable essay on the life and character of Harriett Tubman, the most forceful member of her race during the fight for freedom. We are obligated to the Evening Sun for the use of it, and for the use of the pictures in our front room. Nowhere have we before encountered so lively and so able review of the "Underground Railroad," nor do we recall a single book in which may be found so rich a store of information so well placed. The essayist does well as long as (or she) confines himself to facts, but there is much stumbling when opinion is ventured with respect to either the plans and thoughts of the slaves, or the desires, condition and future of the freedmen. No long discussion shall we enter into here, for a single paragraph is enough At the very end of the paper we find the following observation She is now, however, in the seventh stage—"sans everything"—and has gone down to die in the poorhouse which she provided for others. It has been necessary to beg for funds to hire a nurse to accompany her when the omnacommunity of all that she struggled for, it is true—she has seen her people freed. But she has also seen them arrive at an uncertain and unsoluble position in the country, and has also found them drawing away from her. She has a religious fervor of her day, and even that mystic capacity which is so much a part of her has seemed to wane with education, as Wordsworth saw the fading of immortality from childhood. And so, while death is usually cruel in the seventh stage, she is in what it has spared. She might more happily have passed away with those who knew and understood her The ignorance here displayed is as appalling as an otherwise brilliant paper is enlightening. Whereen is the position of Harriett Tubman's people either uncertain or unsolvable? Their position is that of American citizens, and there is about this nothing uncertain. The particular day of their complete freedom in the only country of which they have any knowledge may, for the moment, be uncertain, but certainly that day will come, as sure as the stars shine. God forbid that decay shall overtake the nation before that day arrives, but that alone can stay their perfect triumph Whereen is their position unsolvable? No problem of men in the past has stood the rules of justice, simple enough for a child, rules that are as unchangeable as the inexorable seat of their power. In due season they shall be hurled by mistakenless Wisdom against the order of the present, and an "unsolvable" problem shall be so no more. To state that colored people do not "have the great religious fervor of her day," is to confess an ignorance that we readily understand, for only a few trembling white people care enough for true religion to congregate with "her children." At no time more than now have colored people had so much religion, and never were they bolder in proclaiming it. The hope of the situation as it appears to those nearest the firing line lay in the aptitude with which the Negro blends the faith of the fathers with the spirit of the western world. In this he is supreme, and by this sign, unseen by the unobserving, will he conquer. The mystic powers which have always been therws have not waned with the spread of education among colored people. On the other hand, it has increased and is now, not subdued, but guided by an intelligence in no wise cold, producing among our million here almost a race of poets, whose feet are on the ground. Let it not be said that Harriett Tubman "might more happily have passed away with those who knew and understood her" but rather let it be said that she may more happily pass fifty years hence, for then she would see her people free indeed. WILBERFORCE'S GAIN All the genuine friends of education will very heartily congratulate Wilberforce University in its recent good fortune. As told elsewhere in our news columns the General Assembly of the State of Ohio made a needed and generous appropriation for the industrial department of the university in the current budget. For many years the school has run along from hand to mount. The A.M.I. Church very proud of the institution and talks a great deal of what the church has never done much more than talk. Some years ago the State of Ohio added a department to the work and has since made nearly provision for carrying on this particular work. Three State trustees are appointed to work along with the regular Board of Trustees and President Scratchburgh. In the past this cooperation has been carried on with little or no friction. One of the State trustees is the most successful colored business man Ohio has, Edward C Berry of Athens. While much praise is due others for the increasing interest of the Ohio Assembly in the work, too much of praise can hardly be given to Mr Berry, who divides his love between Wilberforce Upgiversity and the Baptist Church Wonderful man. In the current budget of the Assembly the sum of $137,720 and some cents is set aside for Wilberforce for 1911-12. This includes the general levy made some time ago for the support of the school. That this exam will be wisely expended, there is no doubt. That it is badly needed, every one acquainted with the work known. Wilberforce can do a great work, and it ought to do a great work. Behind it is a great name and a rich history, and from its portals have come many strong men. The theological department was once a tower of strength not only to the A M. E. Church, but to the Christian pulpit Well-rounded scholars once held diplomas from its walls. We fear that there are now too many trustees on the board, and not enough level-headed business men around Under Scarborough Wilberforce could become a forceful center of knowledge and leading, but he must be given more latitude, and church politics must not be allowed to dominate the institution. TAFT AND PREJUDICE No President of the United States within our time has been bolder and more outspoken against race prejudice than President Taft. On two recent occasions lately he has come out in the strongest terms condemning those who would draw a line of distinction as between the Jews and any other race Certainly, President Taft by his words and by his acts is making the little, narrow people, whose heads and hearts are filled with race prejudice, feel ashamed of themselves. President Taft not only speaks out against race prejudice, but whenever he is called upon to go anywhere or do anything for the Negro race that will let the world know where he stands, he never hesitates to go or to do. It was almost wholly through the intervention and good offices of President Taft that Mr. Rosenwald, of Chicago, made his proposition to give $25,000 to the Colored Branch of the Washington Young Men's Christian Association toward their building, on condition that they raise a certain amount THE Age from time to time found some fault with President Taft for what he did or did not do, but we have always disagreed with him in a straightforward, manly way, thinking that a big man like the President has more respect for a person who disagrees with him once in a while and says so, than for the fellow who pretends to agree with him all the time. The President has done so many great big things in our favor and in favor of all who struggle, that we are inclined to overlook the little things he may have done that seem for the moment to be against us as a race. DEEDS AND WORDS From the bright pages of the shining Sun we take a report of what happened when President Taft addressed the Cotton Seed Crushers' Association at the Hotel Astor Thursday evening of last week. President Taft enjoyed himself last night at the queue of honors at the Hotel Astor of the Produce Exchange and the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers Association. There was no doubt that Mr Taft found the evening a pleasant one, for the Southern cotton men not only made it plain that they liked him out that they were strong for his Canadian reciprocity plan. The Southerners hanged the tables, cheered every sentence the President offered at the end of his speech to give a thunderous 'Ye' when one of their number put the question, "Are we with the President?" "Are we with the President?" Certainly. Cotton seed men, like cotton men, are with anybody who is with them. But in November, 1912, these same ex-colored and enthusiastic Southern "gentlemen" will march to the polls and do their level best to bury William Howard Taft beneath an avalanche of democratic votes. A Southern white man's enthusiasm under liquid circumstances is one thing his politics another. "APPLAUSE" Applause is one of the curious elements in human nature. This form of expression crops out mainly in public gatherings. Applause indicates the real feelings of the individual who applauds, but sometimes this is not so. We heard of a case some time ago in Washington, where an individual was conducting separate branches of the M.C. Association. He was included of course by a portion of the audience. It was curious to note that among those who applauded were "didn't" who had recently given and subscribed money toward a separate Young Men's Christian Association branch. Whatever applause may indicate on other occasions, in this case, at least it indicated that the individuals were weak oscillating and shallow THE HAITIAN MISSION Washington dispatches are to the effect that the President and Secretary Knox have decided to continue Hon H W Furness of Indiana as United States Minister to Haiti. This action on the President's part is in conformity with the wishes of the Negro people representing all factions and conflicting interests. Minister Furness has made a fine record in Haiti and has won the confidence of the Government of that country, and it is stated that petitions addressed to President Taft were forwarded from Haiti, both by white and colored Ameri- / came urging the Minister Furniss to retained until after some of the tumultuous revolutionary troubles have safely passed. We believe that the President and Secretary Knox have done the thing which the great majority of the Negro people of the United States would have them to do. Mr. Furniss voluntarily offered his resignation sometime ago, and just as voluntarily the Department has asked him to remain at his post. THE AGE extends congratulations to Minister Furniss, and to the President and Secretary Knox, as well CONFIRMATION OF LEWIS. News has come to us to the effect that the Judiciary Committee has made a favorable report on the nomination of Mr. Lewis. This is most gratifying Now, we hope that when Mr Lewis's name is presented to the full Senate, he will be confirmed without delay or wrangle. President Taft in nominating Mr. Lewis to so high and important a position has performed his full duty, and for this he deserves the gratitude, the thanks and the united support of the colored race. Let the Senate follow President Taft's brave example and do its duty in confirming William H Lewis. Mayor Gaynor went off half cocked when he got to talking to a southern association last week. He said that the southern democrats in New York stood by good government here, just as they did before they migrated from Dixie, home of good government. It may not have occurred to the Mayor that a majority of Southern white men left the South for New York because they were disgusted with the filth in the politics of that section. Politics is nowhere on a lower level than below the Potomac River We should like to know when the Palestine "Flintooler" became a "white" newspaper? The very happy editor of that excellent sheet counts it no compliment that his efforts are credited to another race than his. John E. Bush, who is the live man of Arkansas, does well to remind the business men of the north that it is no further from New York to Little Rock than from Little Rock to this town. Which is to say that Little Rock expects and ought to expect, a crowd of us to attend the league meeting there. We expect the east to be there in large numbers. To the rather warm and insistent invitation that the leaders of the Democratic party has extended to colored men to become affiliated with "the party of the people," emphasis is given in the conduct of the democratic members of the legislative committee of the Democratic party. After down the opposition of the democratic members of the committee, Senator Root was able to report to the Senate the nomination of William H. Lelwis to be assistant attorney general. Whereupon the "Sun" informs us that the nomination would go through after several Democratic senators have voted to nominate him, polled in Mr. Lelwis selection. Now, wise men tell us when will colored men learn a bit the least bit, of common sense? A year hence many "leaders" at so much per lead will be seeking to drive colored Republicans into the Democratic party, permanding us to forget that democrats, not Republican, will be informed of Leslie upon the ground of race and color and upon that ground alone. NOTE AND COMMENT A Conius. Isaac Fisher, a "star" graduate of Tuskegee, who for some years has been president of Branch Normal College at Pine Bluff, Ark, the State college for colored people, has resigned. Friction between the Democratic politicians, who control the school, just as they control all the colored State "colleges," forced Mr. Fisher to resign or forfeit his own self respect. He has made an excellent president. During his years at the school he attracted wide public notice by winning many prizes and by his oratory. A few days after the announcement of his resignation, the following remarkable letter written by a Jewish man appeared in the Commercial I have been a professor since the Norman School in the last seven years. I don't understand exactly the nature of the print of game play I in Time Diff and in Little Rock recently, which has led for its conscious purposely the deliberate litter. Prof. Diff has told me that he has not been given a square deal by the authorities. It would be fair enough for the state superintendent of public instruction to give the pupils of the Colored Normal College here an examination to find out how much they know. It is not fair to use such an examination as a test for promotion for the month in this school resulting in the failure of the entire senior class. What students in any of the great American colleges could stand an examination by outlaws? The instillation in Little Rock, whose knowledge of conditions at the Normal College is ill, tried to cut down the already numerous appropriation for this school by travagant statements which only demonstrated their utter ignorance of the subject. And yet their statements and action counted and shaped public opinion. Professor Fisher, who understands the soul of his people and knows their capacities and shortcomings, wasn't even consulted. He has been restricted so much that self-respect compels him to withdraw. What is the use erecting an institution in manly and not in reality? These are not opinion opinions as one familiar with context at the Normal College. Professor Fisher does not even know I am writing this letter, and he is in no way responsible for any statement I make herein. Are Chinese Colored? The white people of Baltimore lacking in common sense and bent on trouble, will hardly stop until they get their foot into it. Also, they may get the nation's foot into it. The segregation act, which is nothing save an attempt to humiliate respectable colored people, has now encountered the Chinese. What are the Chinese, and why are they. Before they are segregated permanently Baltimore will find out. The colored man has been an American for 400 years. We will segregate him, says Baltimore. The Chinese came here no one seems to know when and how no one cares to tell. We will investigate him, says Baltimore. The New York Independent prints the following brave and pointed editorial. Here is a case for the highest court in Maryland to apply their wits to. A Chinese, one D Tong, a laundryman, bought a house in a respectable street in Baltimore. But there is a law which says that "Negroes or colored" persons shall be allowed, except as servants in a bank with a license, and law is confessedly meant to divide the population into two and not three classes, colored" are those who have a fraction of Negro blood. Now neighbors are objecting to Mr Tong's residence near them, and they are seeking protection under this law against his wife, who is white; he must be colored, while others are sure that colored" means a black and not a yellow tint. They had never thought of the Chinese when they enacted the law. We are considering what the result would have been if the man had been a Japanese, of a race different from the American, just as good as the Chinese, but ought to prove it and can refer to treaties as to the right of residence to support their claim. The law is as vicious as can be enacted, meant to humiliate a class of people, American citizens, and keep them from rising. It denies that they cannot be treated with equal rights, and signaled their dislikes. And we occasionally hear of cases even in the north, along the southern border, in which a colored man is objected to as a neighbor. A teacher, for example, in one case was warned to move away from a home he had taken and because he preferred to blow up his house with fire. Here is a duty for ministers to do some preaching on the prime principles of the Christian religion. Lynch Law in Africa Not only here in the United States but also in Africa, the black man's own continent, he is up against lynch law. From time to time we have chronicled the various laws passed by the whites in Africa against the natives, and have also been happy to relate, in many instances, the war-like determination of the natives to protect themselves. The Africans ought to know by this time that they may not hope for any justice from the white men who have usurped their soil in the name of civilization unless they fight for it. The Springfield Republican gives us a slight indication of the spread of injustice and mob law throughout the continent. There are indications that the race question in South Africa is gradually growing more acute especially in the line of developing race prejudice. The first attempt, on the American plan to storm the jail and lynch a Negrite for an alleged assault on a white woman took place in a rural district where a mob of armed white farmer raided into堡岭 at midnight and demanded from the local police the surrender of the black man. The police however had been warned and had already succeeded in removing the prisoner to Ladysmith at Port Elizabeth, in Cape Colony, another case is reported. A Negrite was another black man who a white girl in a rural district was the target of a rioting demonstration by a large white crowd, brought into town and lodged in the jail. The third incident is a purported life in Railway, where the father of two girls, who had had an ill-treatment with a Negrite, the black man dead and then surreptitiously murdered, was believed to be impossible to find a white woman to convict the white murderer. The black girl's problem, as it is now called in South Africa thus seems to be a somewhat unsettled social aspect. The girl was the only white woman in the town, and she was held in their attic in reparation to the black man his place, and the black girl's privileges have been more limited than as a result of foul weather in the South African colonies. The race between the races has not been resolved, and the result is that storming of the jail is felt by the white woman. The race question in South Africa is really very formidable when the black man now enters the white prison to one of the black girls in the town, and the situation was more difficult than before. A New Man In Office Hon Wm H Lewis, Assistant Attorney-General, has been compelled to decline many cordial invitations to address audiences in various locations of his office. Mr. Lewis finds the duties of his office no more important to require all his time. And he feels that it is up to him to prove that a colored man can successfully fill the next highest office in the Department of Justice in a work with Mr Lewis, and the office should feel proud of his application to duty.—Washington Bee. Tribulations Everywhere. The poor Negro seems to have a hard time of it. If he votes, the Democrats want to disfranchise him, and if he does not vote the Republicans want to do the same. The case of being beaten is a clear case. If it is a clear case of being damned if you do and damned if you don't—Baltimore Afro-American. Miracles in Nashville? From what we understand, the thinking and more progressive Negroes of the city are going to get to betterment of the race. Things have been going too lose, commercially and politically. We must get to the masses, as the classes are about to sap the life-blood out of the race at the exposition. The race for the abilish octopus must be relegated to the rear.—Nashville Charlion. Texas Bermons. Don't go into places of business owned by your own race and order things like a millionaire, and when the bill comes cut out the whole race and refuse to pay. Don't let your gentlemen have your money. You have dealings with your own race. The colored man is suffering not so much from not knowing, but from not doing. Do and teach the same is a doctrine which never fails to bear fruit. There are entirely too many who content themselves with mere knowledge. You have to trample to the colored man in business, not because he is colored, but because if you do not he is doomed to failure.-Dallas Express. 33 Branches of Oddfellowship: There is very little in this country about the Ancient Order, but from reading the general history of Odd-fellowship, we are reminded that there are thirty-three separate and distinct organizations in existence. The Ancient Order of Odd Fellows are among this number, and it is a very strong factor as an organization in England, Canada, Australia, Africa and several of the remote islands. In America is an open rebuke to the tyrannical procedure, high-handed methods and trickery which were pulled off by influential members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which held its last biennial session in the city of Baltimore.—Wagoner (Okla) American. Negro Democrats Going South? It would not be a bad idea for the "Negro Democracy" to hold their convention in Charleston or Atlanta, where they would no doubt be received with shouts of welcome by the Southern democracy led by Tallman, Gov. Blease, Gov. Hoke Smith, Congressman Robert D. Crawford, and congressors who love the colored brother so well that they would relieve him entirely of the arduous duties that devolves upon a citizen. Yes, the South is the place for them to show their loyalty to the party of Jefferson, Jackson, Calhoun and Jefferson, too. They may be in danger of comfort of doing in railway cars unmolested by "poor white trash." There, too, is where the great bulk of colored men live under the benign influence and beneficent rule of pure democracy free from the corrupt influence of the men who know the nigger, sah." — Indianapolis Plain Dealer. Not That Bad. Dabney The average Negro is so proud of being permitted to exist, that he makes himself satisfied with any old thing. His religion promotes so much confidence in the golden streets, milk, honey, etc., of the New Jerusalem that he hutts around in American, living neighborhoods. Of the wealthy, wearing the cast-off garments, or else the product of the installment plan houses, supremely happy in the consciousness that he will perch high up on the throne in the next world. The white man, feeling that a bird in the hand is worth everything in sight and touching children to do likewise. Without taking the liberty of judging, we can say that the actions of many of those Negroes whose mouths are full of religion indicate that they will find themselves seeking cool places in the city, a spirit of death beckons them from the early plane of their daily hypocrisy—Cincinnati Union COLORED GIRL WAITERS A Famoula Raleigh (N.C.) Hotel Intro to accommodations to Un satisfactory Men, Women (Editorial Richmond Times-Dispatch) One of the oldest hotels in the South was the Yarborough House, in Raleigh. It has been closed for repairs, and when the ar distracts and carpenters and plasterers and decorators get through it is expected to be as good as new. If its walls could only speak they would tell many a moving story the crew could not frequent it, the company that that bought it many resources the plots that were formed for the deliverance of the Stat from the battle of marauding the little schemes for personal gain are public good that have been worked out hundreds of trips couples who have visited All those memories will go with the old place and with the memories will also the days behaving that have inside the house almost like home to the folk who have been putting up the house and weary years to it from time to time write about it, new that it is passed out of the active life of the community. In recent years it was much imitated out of the improvements was in the character of the dining room service which was better when Howell Cobb the proprietor had experiment which turned out well so well that it might be followed in other houses with advantage. Six months or more ago the colored men waiters who are so often incom- plete and were dropped out and were more intelligent girls, who dressed in black skirts and with white aprons served the guests with less confusion and with more in- telgence and elegance than the Negro men. So far as we know, this time such an experiment has been made and has worked so well here that it might work as well elsewhere. It opens a new field for the colored girls and should go a long way towards solving another of the difficult problems with which inn- keepers have to deal There should not work, as the same service has been found entirely satisfactory in thousands of Southern homes. A few days ago I decided to make business trip to Virginia. I went by way of the Cape Charles route to Norfolk, stopping for a half hour at Old Point Comfort. The loading and unloading of vessels are all done by Negos. and I am told that they earn good wages and are very expert at handling freight etc. For work I took the train to Suffolk, a half hour away and was met at the station by W E Crocker, one of the leading business men of that town. I spoke to the Business League in the Baptist Church. Suffolk's child industries are peanuts and barrel malt employees are almost exclusively Negro Girls receive from $3.50 to $5. Women workers in barrel hooping receive from $8 to $12. The Negroes have a number of very attractive stores, such as gents furnishings, shoes, dry goods and notions. They pay taxes on about the worth of property W E Crocker is the moving spirit in Nero development. I spent three days in Norfolk as the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Chas. S. Morris, and spoke in his church at his installation services. Rev Morris is fast growing among the people and has connected himself with all of the agencies of helpfulness. A movement is on foot to segregate the Negroes Rev Morris, Lawyer Brown, Dr. Byrd, Chas. G. Carter and others are exerting themselves to help the city be more inclusive. And it is thought that the proposition will be defeated. The usefulness of the ballot is here seen. If the Negro paid his poll tax, no suggestion, it is said, would have been made against him. The voters are not more than thirty-five percent voters in the tide-water section. The local business league, which is taking the initiative in the movement against segregation, is preparing to wage a campaign among the Negroes in favor of paying their poll tax, thus placing their rights." The Negroes of Norfolk earn much money. They get all of it from the white man and give 90 per cent of it back to him in one way and another. Chas G Carter has a tailoring and gents' furnishing establishment that would fit in on Broadway. He does not work as far south as Houston and Galveston. Tex. Norfolk can boast of a fine 4-bedroom hotel nicely furnished, with electric lights and real baths, in really clean bath tubs, and real bath towels and a new cake of soap to each patre—something the average Negro hotel has yet to learn. The "Journal and manager, has a large amount of job work. The "Century" has a good equipment also. There are three drug stores, 20 boot blacking parlors, barber shops, a Y W C. A, a half dozen little grocery stores, I theatre, pantorlums, physicians, lawyers and dentists—Dr Byrge leading J. Pinker and Dr. Byrge leading J. Pinker. "Journal and Guide" is making good and is a strong factor in molding helpful sentiment. The Negroes pay taxes on over $1,000,000 worth of property and control largely the labor market. Plans are on foot to make this labor more efficient. Portsmouth is considered largely a part of Norfolk, and the Negroes are getting on nicely. The labor market is a good work—some of them are preparing the people "to die," while others are doing the practical work of teaching them to live, get a bank account, set property, to support one another and keep well. I asked one old man how he felt and he replied "Thank God, I don't feel so well." The business leagues in these communities are doing splendid work. To the Negroes of Virginia I would say, pay your poll tax. Many new York Age, the New York Age, and the people I told that when The Age did not come to them through the agent, it was because the agent owed and had been cut off. This applies to other communities. We are tired of being robbed, and we find it a pretty hard task to try to make the average agent honest. CARELESS SHERIFFS Butterfield, Louisville Counter-Sentinel In Florida a half dozen Negroes who were charged with participation in a murder were secured from the acting jailer upon a bogus telegram by bogus officers, and lynched. Let us pass over the resident correspondent's vigorous and vivid description of how the bodies were mangled by the repeated firing of more than a dozen "determined citizens" and how the shocked inhabitants of the social gathered about the scene of the wholesale murder at daybreak to view the chastly proofs of the circumstances of those determined citizens in the mators of the peace and protection of the peace and protection of those samplers in the murder. But in the final moment we consider the following paragraph. The plauses of the knights were the cool darling and but for a curious consideration of circumstances would have been simplified. The Sheriff's report of the last in charge of the box who arrested the early hour of the morning and the six Negroes to be taken from the jailer is known to the sheriff. The word pardon is used by the court of the city of Mr W. W. to pardon the scripture of a quality, and to pardon others. It is some of the common in this sense, but it is also used when the punishment is much like those of the mob murderers in which some of the members of the mob have been compulsively punished yet are not punished if in such cases the city will. All the mob are taken to the molt and sent to prison. Some point a small street should have a statute. Others should have a statute that the prisoner is sent to the curb of the sheffield street. Others are sent to States that have been simulated by a district to draw the pay attached to positions. They are not sent to upon a pretrained field of training to leave a child or an adult. They know that if those prisoners are turned over to a molt they will be given their broad and meaty begging the injunction of Holy Wr.

A New Biblical Interpretation. Will It Dissolve Our Theological Clouds and Refresh Us in a Clearer Light? PASTORRUSSELL'S EXPOSITION St. Louis, Mo. June 11. — Pastor Russell preached here twice today to great audiences. Both addresses were out of the ordinary and well calculated to make the bearers sit up and take notice St. Louis, Mo. June 11. — Pastor Russell preached here twice today to great audiences. Both addresses were out of the ordinary and well calculated to make the hearers sit up and take notice. We report one of these discourses from a text we never before heard treated and did not even know was in the Bible (Acts 11. 34: "For David is not ascended into the heavens." The Old Testament Scriptures we accept as of equal authority with the New Testament, said Pastor Russell, because Jesus and the Apostles so accepted them, and indeed based all of their teachings upon them. In all the Old Testament, from Genesis to Malachi, not a single suggestion is offered of a change of nature from human to spiritual, nor of any other heaven than that which God had originally provided for man—the Garden of Eden. The hopes inspired in Israel by the Divine promises pointed them forward to the time when God's blessing would obliterate the curse of sin and death and uplift mankind from present degradation, back to the original perfection. The feud of the woman it was promised should ultimately "crush the Serpent's head," destroying the evil that is in the world and establishing a reign of righteousness instead of the reign of sin and death. David's Soul In Hell. As the Old Testament tells nothing about a Heavenly condition, likewise it tells nothing about a hell of fire or torment. Such devilish theories were invented by the heathen, from whom many Christians have since absorbed more or less of the false doctrines. The Law and the Prophets do refer to hell some sixty-six times but the hell which they touch is the grave, the tomb, the state of death. From first to last all mankind, both good and bad, go to hell sheol, the tomb. The writers of the New Testament also were Jews and it might here be noted that nowhere did they describe the Hell and Purgatory which we Protestants and Catholics conjured up during the Dark Ages. The New Testament, written in Greek is in full accord with the Old Testament written in Hebrew the sheol of the latter is the bad one of the former. Pastor Rush I quoted the Scripture, "Abraham slept with his fathers" and declared that Abraham's fathers were heathen. He cared attention to the fact that God had bad kings and princes and others are in the Scriptures, described to have fallen asleep. So it was with loved. These all sleep in the Hebrew in the tomb. They are all in the same as the Scriptures declare. They did not know not any thing, that they come to honor and they know not that they come to dishonor and that they resolve it not of them. They neither wisdom nor knowledge come in sheol, hell the grave with their goost, whither all go out with it. I desistenses Ix. 100. "Thus Wit Nat Leave My Soul In The F. B. B.

Such a point of view is becoming unfamiliar enough to seem passe. The Greatest Railroad. Long before the war it took men of such resolution to organize and operate the Underground Railroad. In fact an association for this purpose dates back into the eighteenth century. The first recorded mention of it, so far as known, comes from George Washington. In a letter of May 12, 1786, he speaks of a fugitive slave from Alexandria then in Philadelphia, "whom a society of Quakers in that city, formed for such purposes, have attempted to liberate." He speaks of this society in another letter of November 20. From that beginning the number of Underground agents in the Northern States grew to more than 3,000. By 1860 there was a regular network of paths across Ohio and neighboring States, and as soon as a fugitive reached an initial station he was taken in, fed and stowed away in cave, secret cellar, hollow woodpile or hayrick, until darkness came again, when he was passed on to the next station. The paths became so well worked out that a "passenger" could be switched from one line to another, and by this zigzag process fuddle his pursuers. For, on account of the fugitive slave laws, no runaway was safe until he had crossed the Canadian boundary. Harriet Tubman was even so bold at times as to turn back southward with her caravan in order to shake off pursuers. This swift progress to Canada, after the slave once reached the organization with its silent midnight advances, its disguises, passwords, concealments, and switchback maneuvering, soon gained for the system the name of "Underground Road." After the introduction of steam transit in the '30s, it became the "Underground Railroad." As early as 1804 it is known that the association mentioned by Washington had spread to, or at least had counterparts in, Chester, Lancaster, York, Montgomery Berks and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania. But on the whole the system did not develop much until after the War of 1812. This war however, suggested to Southern Negroes, learning from returned soldiers that there was no slavery in Canada, that a country so hostile to the United States would be receptive to them from that time on the tide set in for the provinces Canada Advertised. That country not only welcomed migrants and made them citizens but Dr Alexander M Ross, a Canadian, made extensive tours through the South, spreading information about "The Land of Promise." He found, to his surprise, that slaves everywhere, due to their strange facility of communication, knew about Canada already and many were harboring secret designs to reach it. He also found that there was a systematic attempt among planters to talk down the place as a terrible region of snow and desolation, but the Negroes were sufficiently smooth to weigh these statements correctly. The first fugitive slave law, which made this secrecy necessary on the part of Northern abolitionists, was passed by Congress in 1793. It provided for the reclamation of runaway Negroes. Yet it was not found to be stringent enough to stop the leakage. In 1850 the more famous fugitive slave law was put into effect, and the measure was extremely severe. It was said by Northerners that it recognized no rights but those of the master. It authorized arrest for any attempt to obstruct the capture or return of a fugitive with a time of $1,000 and imprisonment for six months, and also made the dependent hale for civil damages to the party injured to the amount of $1,000 per fugitive. Fugitive Law Helped. This law, however, instead of putting a stop to the underground activities, only stimulated them. It angered the doubt musts beyond measure to see what they told was a tree government stooping to slave watching "In consequence, the death in 1800 1800 was probably the biggest all on the Underground Railroad. It is estimated that by 1800 fully 500 inmates slaves were stealing back奴隶 from Canada to help in the treason of relatives and friends. In 1835 there were several well established cities across the Western Reserve of Ohio and here are 1818 New York also had its pathways. In 1837 it I Hopper, a Philadelphia Street to New York and formed through the metropolis, at least in 1834 it was publicly accused of hiding money in his Pied street home.

This route was this route in the Hartford to Norfolk line in addition to the coast by New York to Boston. L. N.

Compound organiza- tion did not extend beyond that re- quired by any given rule with the neces and latitude for shifting a fugitive from one line to another. At the same time there was a general under- standing among members all over the country. Pass Word and Sign. When a fugitive crept up to an initial station after he had been taken in and fed he was usually hidden over for a have rest, or even more if necessary, but this depended upon how close his pursuers might be or on any other occasion for haste. Sometimes he was dispatched at once, either with a guide or with instructions for reaching the next station. He was also given the password or countersign to use when he got there—sometimes a combination rap on the door, sometimes the hooting of an owl from the woodside. Although it was dangerous to keep any underground records, and for this reason it is hard to be accurate in underground history, an old "train schedule," the memorandum of David Putman, Jr., of Point Harmon O. has been handed down from 1843. The part here reproduced shows the frequency and comparative regularity of the traffic.

Among some of the cryptic notes which have been preserved there is one in which a member informs another that he is about to forward to him "two volumes of the 'Irrepressible Conflict' bound in black." The "Railroad" Cars. In the earlier days the fugitives were nearly always men, so that it was usual to give them their directions and send them on. But as women and children began to slip away from the plantations they were often carried forward by horseback or in a vehicle. Some of these were specially built for the traffic, closed or covered, or with secret drawers in the center of a wagon bed. The new steam railroad was put into use as time went on, but for this there usually had to be elaborate disguises. There is one instance of where a party of twenty-eight Negroes came unexpectedly to Cincinnati and it was absolutely necessary to spirit them away at once. The underground agent's, however, were not hoored. They promptly rushed a hearse and enough closed carriages to hold the twenty-eight, then drove through the city in a funeral procession and on out the cemetery road. Help of "Free" Negroes In some Northern communities where free Negroes were numerous the fugitive would be given a rake or a hoe at a station and he would trudge along the road with it till he struck open country again. Then he would hide it in the appointed place, from which it would be taken back for the next one. Mulattoes were often blackened with burnt cork so that they would not hit the handbill description posted over the country. In many cases the fugitive was dressed in the clothes of the other sex. Sometimes an unusually light colored man or woman would be togged out in fine clothing and shipped aboard boats or trains as a "gentleman or "lady" There is an instance of where such a fugitive ran face to face into his master on a steamboat but passed unrecognized, and another case of where a girl sat next to her master on a railroad train and was not discovered Great Figures.

Thomas Garret of Wellington, Del, helped 2700 runaways to liberty and pool for this $8000 in times John Brown's efforts to free the slaves of course are better known including as they do his Missouri raid of 1880 in which he plowed a band of slaves 2500 miles in winter over the snow of Canada, and his Harper's Ferry expedition through which he lost his life. William Still a freeman chairman of the Philadelphia Vigilance Committee 1852-1860, Frederick Douglas, an escaped slave, and Harriet Tubman were the leading Negroes in the movement John Mason, however a Kentucky fugitive, helped to deliver 1,300 slaves to Underground Railroad. He was captured and sold back into slavery. He has been sold was the most recently ported with him. There were eight terminal stations, all important to this State. This is due to the fact no doubt, that Ohio not only lay in the front, flight from the South, but that roads converged toward the Deer Park. The nearest and most accessible gateway to Canada. Canada's 100.000 Lieutenant of escaped slaves in the Union at the time of the war has been estimated at from 10,000 to 20,000 and even 100,000. Angered Southerners of the recruited loses at $300,000,000 with high slave owners were particularly relieved at the leakage because it drew off the most sentiments one spirit and allowed that most terrifying of all prospects a terrible insurrection, nevertheless the future of the Northern States to execute the law in the matter of returning fugitive slaves was one of the South's chief grievances in causing the Civil War.

She always made it a point to start on a Saturday night, so that the caravan could be well along on the road before the advertising bills could appear. She often hired Negroes, moreover, to tear down these bills as fast as they were put up. If there were babies in the party she would frequently drug them and carry them along in baskets. If she had to slip away at any time for supplies she would herald her return to the parts in the thickets with some camp meeting hymn. Harriet knew the value of discipline and maintained a stern control over her charges. She would draw her revolver upon the faint hearted and exclaim. Dead Neggers tell no tales, you go on or die." She Was Never Taken. Her uninformed sister her away from every dangers which her wife would have destroyed her. Thomas Garret, the Quaker, sad of her.

And Harriet's own explanation of her actions was, "Jes so long as He wanted to use me, He would take keer of me, and when He didn't want me no longer I was ready to go." Harriet's depredations among the slaves of Maryland became so serious that at one time there was a price of $40,000 placed on her head, dead or alive. But she was never taken.

WALTON THEATRICAL COMMENT A meeting of the Charles E. Barton Amusement Company, held Saturday, N. S. Holdman was chosen general manager of the firm's colored enterprises. Quite a number of colored and white attractions will be put on the road by the Barton people during the theatrical season of 1911-12 and the feasibility of appointing one man to give his entire attention to the colored shows was discussed at length and finally considered favorably. General Manager Feldman announces that the following colored shows will be produced by the Charles F. Harton Amusement Company next season. The Smart Set Company, No. 1, to open September 26, in a new production, the Smart Set Company, No. 2, to open August 7, and the Down in Dixie Minstrels, which will open August 28. Among the artists who have already signed with the firm for next season are S. H. Dudley, Aida Overton Walker, Salem Tenn Walters, Homer Tutt. [Image of a man in a dark coat and hat, holding a sword]. Williams and Stevens and others On the executive staff will be T A Corwell, J M Free, M Joyce, Dan Mack and W D Norton The selection of Mr Feldman as general manager of the colored enterprises of the Barton Amusement Company is a popular one Mr Feldman, who is a theatrical costumer enjoys a wide acquaintance among the colored members of the theatrical profession. For a number of years he has been prominently identified with colored theatrical enterprises in various ways and has Often shown his friendship for colored performers. He is more familiar with the theatrical situation so far as it relates to the colored artist, than any white person interested in that line of the business, and has done much to promote and elevate the colored show business. Mr. Feldman was a close friend of the late Ernest Hogan, and was also on intimate terms with the late George W. Walker. He will manage the Barton attractions in conjunction with his tailoring business, making this headquarters at 523 Sixth avenue The Frogs Elect Officers.

To the Dramatic Editor of THE ACE: Please allow me space in your valuable paper in reply to an article of yours in the issue of June 1 on "The Modern Stage Negro." I am glad somebody has suggested that some of our leading race people enter a protest against some of the characters portrayed and the misrepresentation of the Negro race on the stage to-day. I suggest a good remedy to begin this movement would be for some of our colored performers to cut out some of the material the use on the stage themselves, for if we as a race expect to be respected we certainly must respect ourselves. On the stage, as in other occupations, I know we have many ob-tacles to overcome and are forced to do many things which are not required of the other races, yet that's no excuse for not upholding race pride I make it an object to go to the show houses whenever I see a colored act billed, and I will say that the better element of this city appreciate good acts. I thoroughly enjoy seeing our people on the stage making good, and I can't understand why some of them continue on in the some old rut when they can get by on some new and up-to-date performances. I witnessed some of our performers here not long since and thought I would enjoy it all the way and did until the final scene, when chicken, pork chops and "nigger" were thrown in, and was then sadly disappointed, for they had made good without the use of such stage tools.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Three Natural Fighters. In an article on colored fighters, W. W. Naughton, the light expert, has the following to say "It is worth of note that the most effective of the natural fighters this country has known during the past 10 or 20 years were colored men. Of these none had greater vigor than Joe Waltott, who on account of his peculiar build peculiar talents and his particular effectiveness, when sent against men taller and heavier than he, was sometimes called 'Joe the Giant Killer.'" Overhand blows were Wolcott's long suit, and he could deliver them in a notably damaging way when his frame was flattened against that of an opponent. In the old days, more particularly the 'clean break day', I have known excited spectators to walk at a tottering pugnsthist. Keep loose and he will not be able to hurt him. In the main, it was safe alone to allow two, for the old style tighter airtight push his man away and in a manner in order to indirect damage. But Wolcott posed all such motions, for the closer he stood to a man, the more he did. On account of his squirt he did stand erect with his face higher in the average man's chest and this position he indelibly indicted him from the manner in which he appeared those who looked at him. He had worked on his side. He was in the office while he be listed in an attack he met with and he traced to crink- liness was a party. He has its roots and it was quite a new class from when his dash identified and knew him no Joe traps while he holds of that Mace or Mace collectors ever knew down to a fine point, resorted sufficiently to original notions of his own to be classed to a natural tighter. A man who keeps tabs on ring happenings often bears reference to a painful punch which traveled but comparatively few inches. Well, it would have been hard to locate a ring man who required less range for some purposes. Particularly when used in many of his nights. He went very quiet to short preparing the way for this kind, but elec- ting it straight, gave radially while starting in it, but it stopped his up on its guard. Then without drawing his elbow back the fraction of an inch he would give a quick turn of the wrist and a downward chug of his dexter glove the result being a clip on the chin which armed the recipient from truck to keelon. The greatest of all natural fighters of course, is this fellow Jack Johnson, and the best things in his repertoire are the uppercuts with which he times his men so fearlessly and faultlessly. It was thought after seeing the way he butchered fellows like Jim Flynn and Tommy Burns with his lifting punches, that he was only poison to short men, but, after that unfortunate affair at Reno, we know differently. "Jeffries was looked upon to crush and maul Johnson in the clinches, yet Jeffries was licked in the clinches. Never before did a frequenter of prize fights see such damage inflicted in close quarters. There were the two big men, swinging around in each others' arms, each supposedly bringing years of experience in ringmanship to bear to blanket the other and render him powerless. "Yet one of the men—the black, too,—freed either hand when he felt like it and, with an upward drive, brushed and gashed the other fellow's face while you watched. And once—just once—when Jeffries tried to retaliate in like manner, the result was absolutely ludicrous. "I am free to confess that I never saw such infighting as Johnson engaged in before, and I cannot conceive of any other heavyweight I know—unless it be Sam Langford—copying Johnson's best hicks with success "Sam Langford is another natural fighter, but, while his notions may be original, his style seems to be a blend of Joe Wolcott's and Jack Johnson's. He is all there with high swings and uppershoots, and his treatment of Lang is eloquent proof of the futility of the old mechanical style of boxing when pitted against the methods of the latter day. "Battling Nelson was a natural boxer, but his methods, shorn of his assimilative qualities and his treadmill-like powers of endurance, would have brought him little "Stanley Ketchel was another, with his lightning-like shifts and his ambidexterous delivery.

Hall Believes That the New Nashville College in Which Only Southern White Teachers Will Be Employed to Be the Most Significant Move in a Generation. Special to The New York AoA Baltimore, Md, June 14—I regard as the most significant movement among the race in a generation the establishment of the American Inter-Church College at Nashville, Tenn., said Dr. George C. Hall, a prominent Chicago physician, to a representative of Tug Ace, while in the city a few days ago "This school," he said, "will train religious and social workers for the race and will open in the Fall. It is a new departure, for all of its teachers will be Southern whites, which means that the old prejudice against whites teaching colored people will pass away. The school had its inception with Dr. McCullough, instructor of theology at Vanderbilt University. After consultation with a number of leading Southerners, his plans were endorsed and the school will be the result. Southerners are taking wide interest in the matters affecting the moral and physical welfare of colored people in the South. They are beginning to realize how interdependent are the two races, and that what bodies all for one means detriment to the other." The school has a board of managers, equally divided between both races. The personnel of the board follows: Dr. George A Gates, president of Fisk University, Dr. Wilbur P. Thurkield, president of Howard University; Rev J' D Ward, Rev. Dr. McCullough, Miss Belle H Bennett, Hon. James C. Napier, register of the United States Treasury, James H Dillard, agent of the Jeanes and Slater Educational Funds, Dr Booker T Washington; R H Boyd, of Nashville, Rev. C T Walker, of Augusta, Ga., and Dr Geo C Hall, of Chicago.

AGENTS WANTED. ADVERTISE IN THE AGE 9, 1865, not far from Irwinville, Ga. The next morning when break camp, Jones packed Davis' cane, which Davis was going to abandon, though he carried it all through the war. When they were captured in Irwinville, May 10, Jones managed to keep the cane and carried it with him to Fort Monroe, where both were imprisoned. Got President's Cane When he was released from the prison Jones took the cane to Mrs. Davis. He continued to visit Mr. Davis until the latter's release from Fort Monroe, about two years later. Shortly before Mr. Davis's death Jones served him for some time at his last home, in Beauvoir, Miss., leaving his service later. When President Davis's body was carried in state from Beauvoir to Richmond, Jones drove the hearse through the principal cities en route at which places services were conducted in the dead leader's honor. He also drove the hearse in the Hollywood Cemetery funeral at Richmond. Shortly after the funeral Mrs. Davis presented him with the cane, which he had savod. The cane, with the handle bound with a thick silver band, bearing the inscription, "To James H. Jones, in recognition of his faithful service, from Mrs. Jefferson Davis," he still treasures. The Seal Hidden Away. "If I could tell the hiding place of the greater Confederate seal," said Jones, without violating the confidence reposed in me by Mr. Davis I would be very glad to see the seal of the Confederacy in some museum in Richmond or Raleigh, N. C. No money consideration, however, could for a moment influence me in this matter. I love the memory of Mr. Davis and his family too devotely to think of any such transaction. I am not made out of that kind of material. I have in my veins a good streak of Indian blood, and, you know an Indian detests a har and a thief. I would be nothing less than both did I do otherwise than I am doing. It does not matter how many offers are made, or how large the amounts, James Jones will never entertain them." "Do you believe that you could recover the seal to day?" he was asked. "I feel entirely satisfied that I can; but I never will. I never did deserve Mr. Davis, and now that he is dead I am sure shall remain true to the implicit confidence he always placed in me, almost from the first day I entered his employ. "I am satisfied that no duplicate was ever made of this last great seal of the Confederacy," he continued, "but there are duplicates of the one used before the last one reached Richmond from England—the one which Mr. Davis intrusted to my care. I have been told that the first seal used in the Confederacy was engraved on a piece of boxwood in Montgomery. I think that is a matter of history. Other Seals In Evidence. "The second seal, of which duplicates were made, was the one manufactured in either Baltimore or Washington. I assisted in unpacking the box in which it came to Richmond. There was a aplendid flag in the box also. My recollection is that this was in 1862, in the early part of the year. This seal did not weigh more than one pound, and his diplomatic duties and his diplomatic duties were pleased with the workmanship, the seal did not, in some way, meet their expectations. "The following year, 1863, the big great seal came from England, the schooner Fanny bringing it to Wilmington, from where the seal was sent to Richmond. I again was one of the men who aided in unpacking the box. The seal was in a rosewood box, something after the style used in those day for bringing the seal. It trimmed and inlaid with pearl and ivory, and the seal was an immense silver affair, weighing fully ten pounds. It was unlike the great seal made in Washington or Baltimore, but the inscription was the same—the wreath of corn, cotton, wheat and scrolls. Our officers had a wreath for their caps almost like it." $13,000,000 Safely Kept. "It was the general belief for many years that the last great seal of the Confederacy was captured by the Northern army when it swooped down on Richmond, and that it was turned over as one of the trophies of the war to the War Department at Washington. Such was not the truth, and the fact is that the Yankees got powerful little value in Richmond which belonged to the Confederate government. "When Mr. Davis realized that it was but a short time until Richmond must fall, he sent me with Mrs. Davis—God bless her memory—and the children to Charlotte, N. C. I had about $13,000,000 under my care, and hauled it around in a freight car. One point to another, South until not until Parker of Newberry, S. C., relieved me of it at a point near Washington, Ga., where it was buried. "And you will never entertain an offer to recover the seal which you bid?" he was asked finally "Not as long as my name is James Jones and the good Lord gives me power to know right from wrong" he declared. "No, sir, not for any consideration could I be induced to change my determination about this matter." Everybody, however, doesn't believe the story told by Jones. The Sun suggests that the old man has forgotten, if he ever knew, what became of the great seal, and is ashamed to confess it. In the following letter printed in the Times of this city, W. Mck. Dorwood flatly contradicts Jones' story. In an article headed *Bulls Defends Secession*, it was stated that a certain Negro, James A. Jones who served on Mr. Davis's body servant was the only man living who knew where the seal of the Confederate States is and won't tell. This is not warranted by facts, and the United Trinity Library, Cambridge, England, and was there shown the great seal of the Southern Confederacy, presented by Judah B. Benjamin', and I have no doubt it is there yet. GILBERT RESIGNS New President of Salma University Resigns Knoxville Church, Delivering as His Farewell Sermon Admonition to the Raca to Stick Together — Knoxville Paper Praises His Work Special to THE NEW YORK ASS Knoxville, Tenn., June 14—The Rev. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, who was recently elected to the presidency of Schma Uni- vice president and reelected the president of the Mt. Zion Church of this city. Dr. Gilbert's congregation gave him up with great reluctance. Sunday morning he preached his farewell sermon to a large congregation. His subject was "The Race's Duty in Home Building, Fostering Race Enterprises, and the Necessity of Race Co-operation." The Knoxville News, in reviewing Dr. Gilbert's short stay here says: Very reluctantly the people of Knoxville give up Dr. Gilbert, who was elected unanimously President of the Selma University by the unites of that institution. Gilbert is one of country's strongest men, and we feel that this institution has been fortunate in selecting such a leader to be the executive of this institution. He has influence with some of the leaders in the country, and much for the school. His past record has caused him to be known all over the country, which will cause patrons to attend the school from every section. In his leaving, Knoxville loses one that has been most benefit toward the welfare and uplift of the city in all directions. TOUR MACON COUNTY Booker T. Washington Heads Distinguished Party on Pleasant and Instructive Trip-Conditions of Negotiation Involvement socially Entertained by Both Races. Special to The New York Aon. Tuskegee, Ala., June 10—Within the last two or three years Dr. Booker T. Washington has made quite a number of extended trips through various parts of Maeon County, Ala., for the purpose of seeing for himself just what the colored people are doing and under what conditions they are doing it. It was just such a trip as this that Dr Washington made through the southwestern portion of the county on Sunday, May 28. He was accompanied by Judge R. H. Terrell and Hon. Whitfield McKinley, both of Washington, D. C.; Lord Eustace Percy of the British Embassy of Washington, Mr. W T. B. Williams, agent for the Anna Jeanes fund and Slater fund, Dr. Thomas J. Jones of the United States Census Bureau, and Mr. George L. Knox, editor of the Indianapolis Freeman, as well as quite a number of the teachers and friends from Tuskegee. The first stop was made at the residence of Mr. Lott Ellington, a successful farmer, his house, yard and garden were all inspected and found to be in almost perfect condition. The next stop was at Fort Hull, where much to surprise as well as to the delight of some of the members of the party, as it was generally understood that breakfast would be served at another place, Mr. Morgan Russell, a successful white farmer in that section, had prepared quite an elaborate breakfast, after eating the party then went to the little church, which was only a few paces from the tables where a very short meeting was held. Leaving here the next stop was Mt. Andrews community; however, it might be well to mention the fact that just before reaching this community a mounted committee met the party, and one of the most unique scenes of the whole trip were the four members of the committee who were on oxen which were saddled and bridled. In the Mt. Andrews Community Church was an excellent exhibit of the Farmers' Improvement Club. The object of these clubs, which are scattered throughout the various communities, is to decide how they can meet the conditions that would naturally confront one living in the country. This exhibit consisted of vegetables, fruit, and several kinds of meats all grown on their land. The majority of the homes occupied by these people were all whitewashed and painted. In the course of his remarks here Dr. Washington said that people could not go through a community without being encouraged. "Here in Macon County you have good land that will grow abundant crops. You have a good citizenship here and there is every opportunity for you to make this a little heaven down here on earth. Therefore get some land and cultivate it." The party then proceeded to Liberty Hill, where a brief stop was made. It might be well to mention that the people in this community own between twelve and fifteen thousand acres of land. After one or two speeches the members of the party proceeded to Mt. Pisgah. They were met by a large crowd, headed by the Farmers' Improvement Club. In the schoolhouse the visitors found all kinds of vegetables and sewing, and were informed that the colored people owned over two thousand acres of land and quite a large herd of live stock. Dr. Washington urged the people to get hold of land and keep it, to do better farming, and grow something else besides cotton. He also made reference to what is known as "Draw Saturday," urging the people to get out of the habit of going to town every Saturday purposely to draw from the merchants, when they had the opportunity to draw from the soil every day such things as corn, peas, and almost every other kind of vegetables. He laid special stress upon the importance of making the home more comfortable. The party then set for Hardware and found about three thousand people waiting. At this place was found one of the neatest and most up-to-date school houses in the city. After a number of plantation industries had been destroyed by the war, a lady Judge told male shelters both compartmenting the people upon their beautiful church and schoolhouse and also their farms and whitewashed homes. The next stop was at Sambo where again Dr. Washington in and Judge Luckie spoke. Any one who had the good fortune of going on this trip would feel safe in saving that here he found with out a doubt the best farms and school in the entire county. This community had what is known as a model school, consisting of a bedroom, dining room, kitchen, and a very neat school room. The colored people of the community own about eight hundred acres of land. Sambo was the farthest point on the trip and here the return home was beguile. However, before reaching home stops were made at the following places, where short speeches were de- ^ Bradley, S. S.; Sawyer, C. Gray; Russell Planning and St. Mark. This was the longest trip of its kind ever taken by Dr. Washington and in more ways than one very interesting, and it is expected that it will have great effect on all who had the pleasure of hearing him. A. AND M. COMMENCEMENT Strong and Helpful Addresses Delivered by Members of Both Races—Prof. Lewis B. Moore Principal Speaker on Commencement Day. Special to THE NEW YORK AQUA Greensboro, N. C., June 14. - The A. and M. College has just completed one of the most successful commencement weeks in its history. To this success not only students and teachers contributed, but also white and colored men of local and national prominence As an illustration of the good feeling existing between the two races it may be stated that the baccalaureate sermon was preached on Sunday, May 21, by the Rev. E. K. McLarty, pastor of one of the prominent white M. E. churches, South, in the city of Greensboro, who urged upon the young colored students the importance of cultivating the ideal of righteousness. No less powerful was the Y. M. C. A. address the same evening by a colored Presbyterian minister of this city, the Rev. Dr. J. G. Walker, who eloquently presented the Y. M. C. A. ideals of physical, intellectual and moral strength. Strong and helpful addresses were delivered by men interested in agriculture and mechanical arts. The spaciosa auditorium was crowded almost to its utmost capacity. At these times President James B. Dudley took occasion to speak of the prosperous session which was then being concluded, of the liberality of the State of North Carolina in making generous appropriations, of his hope that the students who had crowded to overfilling the accommodations at the disposal of the college, would show the results of their training in increased industrial efficiency, in a better Negro citizenship and in a wider and ever increasing patriotism. The anniversary exercises of the Agricultural Literary Society were held on Monday, May 22, at 8:30 p.m. Welton Mosely delivered an oration on the "Corn Crop" and was followed by R. L. Busbee who read a paper on "Profitable Dairying." F. B. Williams unveiled the motto of the class of 1911, "Life is What You Make It." The chief feature of the evening was the address of Prof. J. H. Garvin, Superintendent of Colored City Schools, Winchester, Ky., a naturalist of some note who has done much for the furtherance of agriculture in his native State, Kentucky His subject was "Agriculture, the Way of Success," and was admirably treated from the historical, economic, social and racial viewpoints. Tuesday evening. May 23, the Mechanical Literary Society held its anniversary exercises. L. P. Byarm, one of the candidates for graduation, read an interesting and instructive paper on the steam engine. He was followed by M. S. Sanders, also a candidate for graduation and foreman in charge of the broomshop, who demonstrated on the platform how brooms were made at the A. and M. College on a commercial scale, not only sizing the corn, but carrying it through every stage of its manufacture until he ended by handing a finished broom to one of the students, who promptly swept the floor with it to show it was genuine. This demonstration elicited loud applause from the audience. The speaker of the evening was Prof. L. B. Thompson, Director of Mechanics of the Georgia State Industrial College, Savannah, Ga, who presented the subject of industrial education from two viewpoints—the cultural and the vocational—showing how intellectual development may proceed hand in hand with training in the manual arts. Wednesday evening, May 24, was the occasion upon which the work and influence of the college was dramatically portrayed by a play, "Crusades and Crusaders" written and staged by Mrs J B Dudlev and performed by student actors before a crowded house. The talented and accomplished authoress made use of the ideals of self-sacrifice and devotion to a worthy cause, which the Crusades inspired and the enthusiasm they generated to stimulate the modern Crusaders of the A and M College to undertake the momentous task of an industrial and agricultural crusade to the colored people of the South. The play was well conceived and its execution left nothing to be desired. Commencement day Thursday May 25, was the climax of this series of gatherings. Long before the hour ap pointed the auditorium was crowded with white and colored friends of the school. The invocation was made by Rev R W Leak P F Raleigh N C, after which J W Mask, of Pollock N C, delivered an oration on "The Negro as a Skilled Mechanic." He was followed by S W R Slade with an excellent oration on "Farming as an Opportunity for the Negro." President Dullley then introduced the orator of the day, Prof Lewis B Moore, Ph D Dean of Teachers' College, Howard University, Washington, D C, in graceful and complimentary terms. Dean more paid a glowing tribute to the work of President Dullley and the compositions of the State in art such as the features as were to be found in the M and M College I learned in address replete with poems. I was minded and instruct with patriotism he made a masterly summary of the series problems confronting the nation problems of immigration, temperance, divorce sanitation race. And every one of these could be solved by education. Under the direction of Prof C F Stewart director of music, the Choral Club rendered several beautiful selections. Degrees of Bachelor of Agriculture were conferred on W H Bryant, R L Bushe, W H Mosely, S W R Shade P R Williams, and degrees of Bachelor of Science in Mechanics were conferred on L P Byarm, M S Sanders and J W Mask.

BREAKS INTO THE LIMELIGHT Georgia Congressman, S. A. Roddenberry by Name, Finally Attracts Attention—Makes Radical Speech on Negro Question—Banda Hundreds of Copies of Congressional Record to Constituents. Special to The New York Agr. Washington, D. C., June 14.—Representatives S. A. Roddenberry, of Georgia, who was publicly whipped on a street car in Washington a few days ago for trying to enforce a seating system peculiar to his own ideas and in accordance with the customs of the little town from which he hails, is doing his best to get into the limelight, and has last resorted to the same method employed by many of his Southern colleagues—harping on the Negro question. Throughout the South Roddenberry has sent a copy of the Congressional Record, showing his constituents what a "great" speech he made on the floor of the House recently. The fulminations of which he seems to be proud read as follows: I am glad of the gentleman's statement. If they pursued that policy, then go to the Post Office Department, go to the War Department, go. if you please, into the Treasury Department and see sitting at the desks there, standing at the table, the place the table headed, the sleek-faced African's holding easy jobs which old, unfriendly veterans deserve [Applause on the Democratic side] Why not give to these old, feele man who fought fifty years ago the arduous task of night police duty and day police duty? Why do you not take them same? these old, feele man who fought fifty years ago the democratic side] Speaking as a son of the South with no lineage that connects me with those who left the Union after fifty years ago the day is not now and never has been south of Mason and Dixon's Bay when Vale son could dismount in an office in dire straits [Applause on the Democratic side] You can no longer deserve the old soldiers or American people with your countrys demagogue in order to control the Southern vote in your Republican conventions.

BLCKS School of Dressmaking 228 West 53rd Street NEW YORK CITY is $6,417.83, but probably the most important increase is in the amount obtained for repairs and improvements so badly needed. The appropriation for such purposes for the two preceding years was $1,800. The amount carried by the present appropriation for such purposes is $18,000, or just ten times the amount which was available for the past two years. Many of the buildings are much in need of repair. But the work has not all been done on the outside; every teacher who is now receiving less than $75 per month has been slated for an increase for next year. Prof. W. A. Joner has worked hard in hand with President Scarborough to gain this appropriation.
