GOVERNOR ORDERED ARREST Because of Petition Sent Him Advising that the Law was Being Viplated, Instructed Sheriff to Make Arrests. ANTI-NEGRO TEACHING LAW Passed by Legislature at Its Last Session —Is Said by Eminent Lawyers to be Unconstitutional—Sisters of St. Joseph, Conducting School for Generations, will Fight Vicious Law. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) St. AUGUSTINE, FLA.—The law recently enacted in Florida prohibiting whites from teaching in Negro schools is receiving its first test here in the case of three Sisters' of St. Joseph's Convent, who were arrested by the sheriff, acting under instructions from Governor Tramarchi on Monday, April 24. They have been conducting a school for Negro children in their private building on Dehalen street. Sister Mary Thomasine, Sister Mary Schlaski and Sister Mary Benginus were the three nuns arrested, and when they were brought before Judge Jackson the court ordered them released on their recognizance. Sister Mary Thomasine refused to accept her release and she is being held a prisoner at the convict in custody of Father O'Brien. When the law was enacted by the rite legislature, the Sisters of St. Joseph consulted eminent lawyers to the constitutionality of the law. It was the unanimous opinion of the lawyers consulted that the law was unconstitutional and so the school was continued. The nuns have been teaching schools for Negro children in St. Augustine for several generations, their work being entirely gratuitous and their only object the educational and religious guidance of the colored youth. They were not interfered with, even after the passage of law, and their selective petition was sent to Governor Trammell advising him that the law was being violated. This petition was evidently for the purpose of criticating about a test case on the constitutionality of the law. The case cannot be handled in the local courts as it is a state law, and so it will come before the Circuit Court at this term. It will probably be carried through the State Supreme Court to the United States Supreme Court before it is finally settled. SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN During the school year of 1916-17, at least two boys or girls who are unable to stay in school because of a financial lack will have an opportunity of securing scholarships amounting to $150, to be paid in weekly installments, thus enabling them to stay in the public school and add another year's schooling to their equipment. A local organization, through the National Urban League, will give the two scholarships to worthy boys or girls who are eligible for working papers and who will have to leave school to work. The recipients are to be selected by the National Urban League and applications are to be filed with E. K. Jones, executive secretary, 2303 Seventh avenue. The children selected will pursue some special course of training and the money will be paid to them weekly just as wages would be received.

Youngster at Mother Zion Church Refuses to Wait Until May-28 to Give His Dime—Arrangements for Big Bazaar Nearly Completed. Tarrytown, New Rochelle, M. Vernon, Yonkers, White Plains, all of Long Island and all of Staten Island have been included in the local campaign for subscriptions for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund, the executive committee of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund Committee of Greater New York at an important meeting Satu- riiies voted to select its members to these towns where members of the race have been invited to co-operate with the local organization. Several favorable communications have been received. Sunday the members of the Women's Committee visited some of the Sunday schools in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, and through the courtesy of the respective pastors and superintendents spoke to the children about the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund and urged them to save their pennies for Sunday, May 28, when Booker T. Washington Day will be observed in the churches of Greater New York and vicinity. Clifford Jackson, 11 years old, living at 140 West 136th street, aroused the children of Mother Zion Sunday school to a high pitch of enthusiasm by loudly exclaiming directly after Mrs. Dora Cole Norman had made a short and inspiring talk: "Please take my dime now. I don't want to wait for Booker T. Washington Day." Dr. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother Zion Church, and Alonzo Rieves, superintendent of the Sunday school, praised the lad for the commendable spirit shown. Dr. E. P. Roberts, treasurer of the local committee, predicts that the month of May will be a most productive one for the fund and says there are indications on every hand that the colored citizens are going to subscribe liberally, both as individuals and as body. The second big mass meeting on behalf of the fund will be held Thursday evening of this week at Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn. Prominent men will speak. Arrangements for the big bazaar at Manhattan Casino on May 25 and 26, to be given under the auspices of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund Committee, are almost completed. GOOD WORK OF THE (Special to The New York Age.) PETERSBURG, Va.-Beginning May 1 and continuing to May 12, the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute is closing out probably the most successful session in the thirty-four years of its history. The present week will see the winding up of the final tests and examinations for its pupils, while next week will be filled with the various anniversary programs of the commencement season, including the preaching of the annual sermon by Dr. R. C. Woods, of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, the biennial address to the alumni by W. S. Henry, a address attorney of Indianapolis, Ind., and an address commencement day by R. Stormer, Virginia superintendent of public instruction. For the past year the enrollment of pupils was 832, 617 girls and 215 boys. The present graduating class numbers 111 boys and girls, which brings the total number of graduates to 1,303. Under the leadership of its president, John M. Gandy, and a capable faculty of thirty teachers, backed by the financial support of the state legislature and a board of visitors of unusually high personnel, the outlook for the school is encouraging. During President Gandy's incumbency of two years the institution has been successful in obtaining a fine dormitory for boys, at a cost of more than $20,000, and a new farm of 28% acres of land. The school made these improvements and had its annuity increased from $21,500 to $25,000. The students pay annually around $43,000 towards their own expenses. During this time the president has put in operation several new features of administration. Chief among these new features is a good modern curriculum. This curriculum includes a four-year course of standard high school work based on a fully standardized elementary training, and topped by two full school years of advanced work of college and professional grade. Administrative insight has secured for the school a larger opportunity for systematic physical development of the pupils. Under the supervision of a trained director of educational interest in the usual inter-collegiate contests, and there has been perfected a system by which each pupil of the institute is required to take regularly some sort of helpful physical exercise. There have been installed, under the supervision of a trained nurse, hospital facilities for caring for the sick among the pupils and teachers of the school. Another feature of the administration is the school extension work. This latter, which includes organized efforts on the part of the institution to make its influence felt for good among the people of the adjoining counties, is under the direction of two teachers, whose business it is to go out weekly to the people in their various communities for the purpose of spreading among them news and better idea of education; farm- FROM THE MONSTER MABS MEETING AT ABYSSINIA BOOKER T.

PRICE FIVE CENTS BARREL HOUSES & BUFFET FLATS Illicit Traffic of Liquor in "Buffet Flats" Helped by Easy Purchasing. WHOLESALERS CLOSE AT HAND Very Few Blocks in Harlem Zone but that has One or More Wholesale.Liquor Stores Catering to Home Trade. HOW TRADE IS INFLUENCED White Saloon Men are Especially Friendly with Certain Men who are Influential Showing Them Favors of Various Sorts, Securing Their Trade Thereby — Negro Saloonman Must be Diplomat A statement to the effect that "barrel houses" in Harlem were primarily responsible for the large number of "buffet flats" influenced a careful investigation of this phase of the traffic in that section of the City. Whether the statement is literally true or not, certain it is there seems to be ample evidence of the fact that the convenient location of the "barrel houses"—few blocks in the territory investigated not having one or more—makes it very easy for the keeper of the "buffet flat" to procure her supply of liquors and beers which are retained clandestinely to her trade—to the visitors to her apartment or house. As related last week, in the territory situated between 130th and 140th streets, Fifth and Seventh avenues, twenty-six wholesale liquor houses are located. From eight to ten more are located on Madison and Eighth avenues in the same zone. The close proximity of the wholesale store makes it unnecessary, for the women, to the back store saloon in order to purchase liquors, and then, too, is to be considered the fact that the "harrel house" price is much lower than the saloon price. It has been asserted that there is a closer relation than appears on the surface between the wholesale house and the "buffet flat," in that in some instances the proprietor of the wholesale liquor store furnishes the liquor to the keeper of the flat on a commission basis. That is, the wholesaler supplies the "buffet flat," taking down the lion share of the profits. It has not been possible to verify, this assumption, and it is given for what it is worth. The profit in selling liquors under conditions where no license is paid, no salaries for help, and practically no rent, might assume tempting proportions and so induce some of the wholesalers to reach out for larger returns. Large Home Trade. Investigation shows that a goodly proportion of the trade of the wholesale liquor stores is delivered to homes of customers. While a large number of customers come into the store and take away with them their purchases, it is noted that bulky purchases are not taken away by the buyers. Most of the persons who run the more profitable "buffet flats" have telephone connection, and of course place 'phone orders for wet goods wanted. Others will send orders by messengers for C. O. D. delivery. Well-posted 'Harlemites declare that some of the wholesalers send their agents around on a regular route and receive orders from their customers for liquors to be delivered. The white saloon keeper in Harlem seems to have no trouble in holding the bulk of his trade as constant custom. Even though he causes dissatisfaction in the minds of some by inconsiderate treatment or lack of, courtesy, he hardly worries, for there are others constantly being added to his clientele. And even the dissatisfied one usually comes back after a short while. This hold of the white saloon keeper upon his Negro clientele is a peculiar condition and hard to explain. One explanation is that sometimes the saloonman will use a few of the more influential men of the race to control and direct the others. Certain men, of and otherwise, and of their relationship courted in other ways as well. Their courtesy or a "hail fellow well met" spirit will permeate all of the intercourse had with them by the saloonman. Naturally, this influences them to patronize his saloon. The masses, seeing the prominent men, lawyers, doctors and others, frequenting that particular saloon, also drop in there for their drinks. Fishing for Influence. It has been suggested also that where a man's influence, politically, socially or in the fraternal organizations, is strong enough, and he can be reached, some of the saloon keepers are not averse to favoring him with smal cash presents from time to time. Sometimes this is done in the guise of a personal present, and in other cases, where the conditions are understood, it takes the form of a "loan". Naturally, the recipients of favors of this sort are not advertising that fact. on the house tops. Checks are cashed also, and, with certain of the customers, a "bad" check is usually protected until it becomes a "good" check. The willingness of the white saloon keeper to extend these and similar courtesies is based. mother, he is an "influential customer or not." The Negro saloon keeper, handicapped by location, restrictions and lack of cannot, cannot, of course, extend his authority. As a professional he must be a master diplomat in dealing with his customers, especially the "influential" man who always requires more service than he is willing to pay for. The relationship between the Negro saloonman and his customer is, as they might, more like a race man, but that same relationship puts him in a position where he must oftimes offend a friend or customer by failing to grant a requested favor.

FITTING THE NEGRO TO TOWN. (From the New York Press.) Able men who have studied the Negro problem are a unit in concluding that the race is at its best on the farm and perhaps on the land. The problem is in constant demand on the farms, and, as thousands have proved by example, there is no impediment in the way of their becoming independent owners of the land and they till with remarkable success. But to the cities, with all their temptations, they will come, to find occupations open to them and these for the most part are Negroes. In New York in 1910, The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, of which Booker T. Washington was a director, has undertaken a difficult task, therein in attempt to build up but in little and unfamiliar conditions, but if the report of the league's work in New York for the two years 1914 and 1915 is an indication of what may be expected in the future the organization has ability and will be genuinely Attacking its problems at the source, the league has fostered a series of lectures on the migration of the race in cities, and has begun to engage in cities, these monitoring talks being delivered in the smaller towns. Systematic effort has been made to find employers in the smaller towns, 1814, 181, 181 were placed in new places, and in 1915, 358, indicating that employers are beginning to look upon the league accommodating as a dependable source of employment. It has been engaged on education, particularly on vocational training, lifting scores above above the level of common labor and training, and training the better grades of domestic service. Along the lines of social improvement the legue has made a study of the Harlem districts, and as a result of its findings is trying to get the building tenement houses with fewer rooms to the flat, thus cutting rents and eliminating the "roomer" cell. A boys' club, organized more than a year, has been notably successful reducing the old "old line" of the old tenement line has been eliminated and the boys of both colors mingle in peace. Other activities are almost too numerous to mention, among them vaudeville, parade work, homes for delinquents and unemployment relief. (From the South African Native The 9th Opinion.

He was then appointed by the gregius who instituted for him the Order of Ethiopia. After a course of theological study at Umtata, he was some time back made a Provocateur of the Order, and was attending its conference when he contended his illness. He is widely mourned by his people. THE "RAZOR-BACK" COMING INTO ITS OWN. (From the Jacksonville Metropolis). Another industry that promises immediate results is the Florida razor-back bacon. It makes jokes, jesus and jibes. Razor-back meat has been brought into great demand in ham and bacon, and it is now being sold in high-class hotels and cafes as razor-back bacon from high-margin hops. meat is sweeter and more tender, and has more of the flavor that the ham used to have when you were a coy. An outstretched concern is now seizing a retailer, etching a house in Florida for the purpose of making a specialty of hams and bacon from the native razor-back, and if they find they can be supplied with sufficient fat, they will buy the year round, we shall have such a packery. When at high-priced cafes razor-back ham is in better demand than we shouldn't be proud of our razor-backs, and induce his tribe to increase? (From the Richmond Planet.) The planet is colored assemblages declining in size and anthem, but young Enves has selected a new way of accomplishing the same result. So long as we are American citizens, we would be well for us to use the planet's naturalization shire, let us take out naturalization papers under some other nation's flag and thus be clear of the charge of racial disloyalty. Truth, the flag is a symbol of our nation, and the twining of the stars in the reeflike foids are seldom seen by us. WHY HE CAME BACK FROM CANADA From the Muskogee Tattler.)

E. BISHOP AND SLAVERY. France. Ashbury always looked upon Negro slavery with contempt. Only in a very few conferences during his life did the question of slavery fall to come under his heated discussions. At heart, every true Christian Gentleman knew the principles of slavery were diamonds of Christianity, yet some were willing to compromise in behalf of the friendship of the members. Still Ashbury felt that no people should be held in slavery unless they were contrary to the doctrines and principles of Methodism. He licensed the first Negro, he afterward proved a preacher rendering valuable assistance to the progress of the church.

We believe that every member of the race in Greater New York will want to contribute to the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. We do not believe that they will wait to be asked personally, but will willingly send their contributions direct to the committee. The women and men of Greater New York are covering churches, Sunday schools and the homes for contributions. No sum will be refused. Ten thousand dollars must be raised in the greater city. No one will be begged; race pride is the slogan. The man and what he stood for is all that is necessary. The boys and girls are seeking an education, so that they too will be prepared to go out into the world and teach others the value of education and the importance of knowing how to do things. Booker Washington was always at the service of his people—North, South, East and West. He worked unceasingly for his race. He never tired. He never said no. He stood abuse and was misrepresented, but he never permitted himself to be swerved from doing his duty to his race as God gave him the light to see it. We do not believe the members of the race are going to permit themselves to fall down in this great and worthy undertaking. Let every man, woman and child begin from this day to do his and her part to raise the money. We appeal to the members of the race in all parts of the country. For Greater New York, Dr. E. P. Roberts, 45 East. 42d street, Room 11. Other sections of the country can send direct to Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee, Ala. Don't delay, for delays are dangerous. AN INFAMOUS LAW. Several years ago the Florida Legislature passed a law making it a crime for any white person to teach in a colored school. The law was aimed at the schools which were founded and are supported by Northern philanthropy. When the law was passed it caused consternation among the white teachers engaged in those schools and their friends. Later, it became tacitly understood that the law was unconstitutional and would not be invoked, so these teachers finally went on with their work as before. This week three Catholic sisters of charity were arrested in St. Augustine, Fla., by the sheriff, charged with teaching colored children in the convent there, and were given a hearing before the court. Two of the sisters were released on their own recognizance, the other refused to accept liberty upon the conditions which the court extended, and was held a prisoner at the convent. In our opinion, this incident will lead to the annulment of this most infamous and cruel law. We do not believe that public sentiment in Florida will stand for this outrageous act. If three "yankee" school marms, teachers in a school built by Northern philanthropists, had been arrested, the Negro-hating element in Florida would have rejected at it; but St. Augustine is a Catholic city, and sisters of char- Our article of some weeks ago entitled "Pagan Temples" has brought us a letter from one of our readers who feels that we are lacking in respect for the church.

And again, we have passed the age of Puritanism, when a cold "meeting house" was sufficient to worship God in. And when one travels and sees the beautiful cathedrals of Europe we feel as though New York is far behind in architecture except in height. Your valuable paper is read by all demonimations.

We trust that we have convinced other readers who may have shared, his against the display of pomp and pride of The long and varied history of the Christian church clearly establishes this truth: the material evidence of its wealth is in inverse ratio to the vitality of its spiritual power. For that reason we spoke against the tendency of some churches to house themselves in buildings that rival and even surpass in splendor the temples of the pagan world. Such extravagance tends to make of Christianity a petrified, crystalized monument instead of a living, moving force. There was nothing in our article to lead any one to think that we believe church should be held in a "cold meeting house"; in fact, we expressly said that a church building should be commodious and comfortable, and its beauty should be the beauty of simplicity and dignity. However, if it were necessary to choose between a cold meeting house and cold Christianity, we think the former ought to be the choice. So far as buildings go, we can conceive of the most wonderful meeting being held in an oak grove. In charity, we pass over the reference to the beautiful cathedrals of Europe. Our correspondent lays stress upon the fact that Christ went into the temple at Jerusalem and drove out the money changers. So far as we can learn, Christ went into the temple not more than three or four times in his life; this alone is an indication of the importance he attached to the mere building. But more than this, we have direct words of his which shed additional light. They are recorded in St. Luke, chapter 21, verses 5 and 6, and read as follows: 5. And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6. As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. Even if these words are taken strictly as a prophecy, they nevertheless reveal that Christ did not consider the polished stones and hand-wrought metals of the temple as essential to the religion which he was teaching. We trust that we have convinced our correspondent, and any other readers who may have shared his opinion, that we spoke only against the display of pomp and pride on the part of the church.

The questions which have absorbed the attention of Congress during the past months have been those that had to do with the general welfare of the nation; such questions were, naturally, beyond the ken of those members who get into Congress solely through their ability to "damn the nigger," so their opportunities for letting the folks back home know they were on the job and earning their salaries have been slim. However, a bill to establish a juvenile court in the District of Columbia came up the other day and gave them a chance. Representative Clark of Florida offered an amendment providing separate probation officers and institutions for colored and white children; the amendment was defeated; this served to loosen the flood of vituperative oratory which has been so long pent up. Listen: Representative Howard of Georgia made a vehement reply to the objection by Representative Stafford of Wisconsin to the amendment. He asserted that Negroes from the District of Columbia at the Atlanta penitentiary had impaired the morale of that institution by 23 per cent. "I am heartily in favor of education," he added, "but I am opposed to taxing my people to give all sorts of hifalution curlycues in the way of education to a crowd of Washington niggers that can be of no benefit to them." Representative Davenport of Oklahoma said: "The best nigger cannot be raised to as good moral standard as the commonest white man," and Representative Rucker of Missouri insisted that "it is not necessary to fondle a Negro to be his friend." "The old time darky," he added, "is generally a good citizen, but the young Negro, broadly speaking, is the most complete upstart and nuisance God Almighty ever allowed to walk on earth." In this manner these small potato statesmen continued for several hours, filling the halls of congress with foul atmosphere and demonstrating how they got to Washington. On this subject they were at home; here they could shine; at last, there was something it are highly esteemed throughout the State, they spend their lives working and teaching among the people, both white and colored, so this arrest has caused a sensation. The Catholic Church, among all churches, is least a respector of class distinctions, and we feel convinced that it will fight this matter through to the finish. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MEXICAN SITUATION. More than once the friends of the administration have asserted that President Wilson inherited the Mexican situation from President Taft. At the recent GRANT day banquet of the American Club in Pittsburgh, PHILANDER C. KNOX, who was President Taft's Secretary of State gave facts and dates to prove that there is no truth in the assertion. He said in part: "When MADERO resigned on February 19, 1913, the Minister of Foreign Affairs under the Mexican Constitution became President — PEDRO LASCURAIN. He appointed Gen. HUERTA Minister of War. The Minister of Foreign Affairs then resigned and the office devolved on HUERTA February 19, 1913. Torrington, Ct. the Mexican situation from President TAFT.

How long they would have kept up the discussion nobody knows; but Speaker Clark cut the whole thing short by taking the floor and saying: "Now, what is all this hullabaloo about, that you have been carrying on here for two hours when you ought to have passed this bill an hour and a half ago? It is about a question as dead as a man who lived before the Flood. This color question is working itself out and has got to be worked out by individual communities and States. But my urgement upon you to-day is to quit this kind of debate and go to work and get ready to get away from here." We cannot help but note that in these few words Speaker Clark said more for the Negro than has been uttered by Mr. Wilson in all the public statements he has made since he became President. As to the statesmen born out of their time; that is, a little over a half century too late, it is sufficient to quote an old and very tense saying. "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." THE BOGEY-MAN. "Constitution," which recently was about the Negro, now contends googey-man of Southern politics of Georgia into line. "The disturbed because of the prominent Republican conventions just the party, colored men are in Georgia daily seems to be great Republican political affairs burden: Significance of this situation becomes view of past professions. We have negroed Republican party upon the Negro. And yet to-day the Negro important factor in the situation. This is serious enough to warns, a herculanean effort to change: These circumstances, if there was a people of Georgia, irrespective of political and recriminations, should get now. What we want to keep that party prestige which also keep Georgia in the right place to maintain a solid and irresistible tie to sweep everything before it "right place" in which "party days keep Georgia? Is it in the states in the Union? The civilization? The place where "The Constitution" is rightible organization" has sweptdom of thought and speech, is now before it.

Timing has been so maddened the twoth divided on all things except to white supremacy—political raceocrats take note! city of colored men in the Red more of a threat to the welling of the sun; and nobody knew. But the white voters of it not be allowed to do any can the result be better acclim of Negro domination? Is "The Constitution" is willing toack. The Atlanta "Constitution," which recently has said some fair and square things about the Negro, now considers it necessary to trot out the old bogey-man of Southern politics, in order to frighten the white voters of Georgia into line. "The Constitution" appears to be greatly perturbed because of the prominent part taken by colored men in the Republican conventions just held in that state. In both factions of the party, colored men are important factors. The great Georgia daily seems to be greatly disappointed over the turn which Republican political affairs have taken, and raises the following lament: The significance of this situation becomes extraordinarily striking, in view of past professions. We have heard much about the reorganized Republican party upon the basis of the elimination of the Negro. And yet to-day the Negro becomes seemingly the most important factor in the situation. It feels that this condition is serious enough to demand a warning cry, a call to arms, a herculanean effort to save the Empire State of the South; it says: Under these circumstances, if there was ever a time when the white people of Georgia, irrespective of past differences, of criminals and recriminations, should get together in solid phalanx, it is now. What we want to do, what we must do, to maintain that party prestige which always has kept and always will keep Georgia in the right place as long as we remain together, is to maintain a solid and irresistible organization that shall continue to sweep everything before it. What is this "right place" in which "party prestige" has always kept and will always keep Georgia? Is it in the place of being one of the most illiterate states in the Union? The place where child labor is a disgrace to civilization? The place where lynching is committed with impunity? "The Constitution" is right in saying that this "solid and irresistible organization" has swept everything before it; it has swept freedom of thought and speech, independence of action, and respect for law before it. "The Constitution's" editorial concludes with this terrible picture and solemn warning: It would be an awful thing to see Georgia white men divided in factions contending for the Negro vote. The warning has been sounded in the two Republican conventions, both divided on all things except one, and that the most serious to white supremacy—political racial equality. Let Democrats take note! Now, the activity of colored men in the Republican organization in Georgia is no more of a threat to the welfare of that state than is the daily rising of the sun; and nobody knows this better, than "The Constitution." But the white voters of Georgia must be kept in line, they must not be allowed to do any independent political thinking, and how can the result be better achieved than by springing the bogey-man of Negro domination? It is sad to see that a great paper like "The Constitution" is willing to lend itself to play the miserable trick. A PRETTY PICKLE.

So complex is the Florida primary ballot and election system that it requires from ten to twelve days after an election to get the tabulated returns from all parts of the state. This was just the sort of thing the Florida Democratic leaders wanted, and it worked like a charm up to the present. The trouble with it at present is that the law calls for the primary elections to be held on June 6; and the National Democratic Convention meets at St. Louis on June 14. In all probability, the result of the votes for delegates to the convention will not be known before June 17 or 18; so it appears impossible for the Florida delegation to reach St. Louis even in time to vote on the motion to adjourn. It would be difficult to imagine the amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth that is going on in the Democracy of Florida, but it is not hard to guess what will be the fate of the men who framed the present primary election law. "February 19, HUERTA became provisional President." Mr. Knox went on to say that the TAFT administration immediately requested from HUERTA a number of assurances, preliminary to recognition, and that while these negotiations were pending Mr. Wilson came into office; that is, the twelve intervening days passed before President TAFT could complete the negotiations necessary for recognition. Mr. Knox said further: "What Mr. WILSON inherited from Mr. TAPP was an outstanding unanswered diplomatic note to the de facto HUERTA government at Mexico City asking for. definite assurances for the security of American rights and the adjustment of American-claims. "What Mr. Wilson did was to repudiate the policy of his predecessor, in this as in all other things, and create a situation that made the adjustment of American rights impossible." This definitely settles the question as to who is responsible for the deplorable Mexican situation. which recently has said some faint Negro, now considers it necessary to southern politics, in order to frighten line. "The Constitution" appears of the prominent part taken by colonyventions just held in that state. In need men are important factors. It seems to be greatly disappointed over political affairs have taken, and raises its situation becomes extraordinarily serious. We have heard much about tyranny upon the basis of the elimination.

To the EDITOR of The Age As I have seen in your issue of April 20 a communication relative to a talk given by Miss Caroline S. Bond, secretary of the Colored Y. W. C. A., at a meeting of the local W. C. T. U. permit me to say that the writer sure that Miss Bond was added by Miss Bond that time were calculated to produce in the minds of her hearers a deep and admiring interest in the members of that branch of the Y. W. C. A. in view of their high alms and creditiveness. Miss Bond aroused in the hearts of her listeners a new sense of the value of the work in which that association is engaged. Those who were privileged to listen to Miss Bond on that occasion were also impressed with her ability and the genuine devotion to her work which she enlisted. They did not at all gather from her remarks that she regarded the colored girls of Montclair as imbecile or immoral. Those in that class were spoken not by any messional cases, who did not by any messional cases, whom she came in contact. It is certainly to be regretted that any adverse impression with regard to the tenor of Miss Bond's remarks has been received from the report of her talk and from the meeting she be added that the writer's this letter has always been a warm friend of the colored people and spent ten years among them in educational work in the South. She will always retain a sense of in their welfare, and certainly would not wish to be in any way the means of misrepressing them. CHAIRMAN PRESS COMMITTEE MONTCLAIR W. C. T. H. OFFER LETTER TO A. M. E. BON CHURCH. To the Editor of The Age: Klindt, the following in your column: I. Richard Manuel Bolden, desire to publicly thank the Rev. F. M. Jacobs, DD, M.D., of Brooklyn, N. Y., for his interest in the matter with regard to my, standing in the A. M. E. Zion connection. As is well known, all of my early training, as well as opportunities for religious and civil service, was with the M. E. Zion Church for which I am grateful. If as facts will show, conspirators worked to injure me because of my kindly but dangerous knowledge of their corrupt practices and would unceasingly try to discredit me, then, there is no need of my wasting more time and money chasing the rainbow of hope. I want to further thank my friends in our country general for their kind thoughts of me. I also want to assure them that I most reluctantly yield, without further protest on my part, to the will of my persecutors, whatever joy or glory they may derive from such relentless spirit in the name of him who said, "Love ye one another as I have loved you." If the Bishops and others in authoritarian help they seek, I leave it to them and their consciences. While a member of Zion connection I always did my duty, and this no one can deny. My Lord, the Emanuel would have me, to be humble and cherish love for all men and things. He revealed to me the Creed and Covenant of. The Emanuel Church in the world and the business by His authority. The Holy Spirit hath sealed me for this service. If there are any people who are endeavoring to love God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength and their neighbors as themselves, the Emanuel Church as themselves, in establishing this work in various sections of our country. The Emanuel Church endeavors to form a community life in which the thought of Emanuelism is supremely manifested. Author, Sister I. Richard Manuel Bolden, the founder of this church, ask you to obey the Holy Spirit and write or send for me or one of our preacher teachers to set-up this institution in your midst and we will gladly, in Our Lord's name, demonstrate the Truth of Emanuelism in your life, town and business. We are expressed in the following lines—What matter, friend, though you and What matter though we sow in tears, And crops fall at the reaping? With fruit fright years Fall, perish in our keeping? Upon our hoarded treasures floods, Arise, and tempests scatter; If faith beholds beyond the clouds, A clearer sky, what matter? What though our castles fall, And disappear while building? Though strange handwriting" on the wall, Flame out amid the gilding? Though every idol of the heart, The world is a palace, Though hopes decay, and friends depart. If heaven be ours, what matter? SALUTING THE FLAG. Mr. James W. Johnson, New York Age, New York, N.Y. Dean-Sir: I take this opportunity to express my agreement with you with regard to your article on "The Boy Who Refused to Salute the Flag." I am glad to see that you are not blinded by your sentiment. I am sure that you are entirely right in the position which you maintain in your editorial. Southern Increase of Mob Murders for Many Causes Marks National Tendency Toward Added Crimes of Violence (The disciplined letter to the Philadelphia Public authority by a national authority on the statistics and psychology of lynchine—Editor of New York Age.) To the Editor of Public Ledger: The lynching to-day of John Dukes in Ronitay, Fla. prompts me to say that the disquieting evidences of a national authority on laziness and crime not the least is the revival of lynching during 1915 and 1916. There was last year 98 of these lamentable occurrences, or the highest number, with three exceptions, during the last fifteen years. Ninety-nine calls itself civilized emblem of a disfruitful and alarming condition. If a single person has been brought to justice and properly punished, there are no records available to show that this has been the case. In its origin quite probably lynching was largely on behalf of a exceptional crime against society for the punishment of which the usual methods and judicial procedure seemed inadequate. The lynching of Nerroes in the South on account of unspeakable crimes against white women constitutes, at least at the present time, but a small fraction of the total number of lynchings or a variety of reasons. John Dukes was arrested according to the record published by the Chicago Tribune, the crimes for which persons were lynched during 1915 were: Murder, 49; theft, 11; rape, 9; murderous assaults, 7; attempted rape, 4; alleged murder, 3; polished mules, 3; accessory to murder, 2; insulting women, 2; race prejudice and unnamed crimes, 2; polished mules, 3; addition, three persons were victims; riders. Two of the 93 persons lynched were women. As pointed out in a letter to the Atlanta Constitution of March 9, 1916, "In all the lynchings I have read about in Georgia not a single member of the mobs has been killed wounded or have an apprehended the incarcerated or the officers been injured in the defense of prisoners." Georgia, during 1915, in some years past, held first rank in acts of mob violence of this kind. If any one has been brought to justice and been punished in the State of Georgia on account of lynching, the fact has not been made a matter of lynching is no longer confined to those crimes, black or white, who commit unspeakable crimes upon women, but in a large proportion of cases lynchings are now for ordinary crimes, with regard to which civilized, society has adequate methods of judicial procedure and the certainty of drastic punishment. As pointed out in the Atlanta Constitution of March 7, in an editorial THE MEMORIAL SERVICE BASE FUND FOR BOOKER G. WASHINGTON, MEMORIAL Let your children send in their dimes to the Riverside G. WASHINGTON Fund for the Bureau of the Interior. Washington National Bank contribution will be acknowledged through The Age. Total 14 15 discussing "Real Georgia Issues," of the questions to be asked the candidates for governor, the first and most measure, the most important for a safeguard of Southern civilization is, "What remedy do you propose for the elimination of lynching and mob law in this State?" It would be interesting to know the replies which have been given to this precise and thoroughly considered question. Under date of March 10, 1916, the Savannah Morning News contained an article on a Tennessee lynching at Lebanon, at which, according to Tennessee newspapers, a mob of masked men from 75 to 100 county jail, took the keys from the sheriff and jailers, took out a Negro who had fatally wounded the child of the Lebanon police, took him to the public square of the city and were hanged him. More than a thousand persons, including women, saw the murder of an American woman in connection by the Nashville Tennessee. Lebanon is one of the oldest, one of the most conservative, one of the most stable towns in Tennessee," an dyst in a community which, by all ordinary standards, should be a ballallick of civilization, which is but the equivalent of land, of an amenable occurrence of this kind is ever made the occasion of a public exhibition. A Georgian living at West Orange, N. J., under date of January 25, in a letter to the Evening Sun, of New York, published February 5, 1913, inquires as to why "everybody is whoooping and howling for the protection of our citizens," and quotes Senator Borah, of Idaho, having said, "In God's name, has the time come when we will not protect our citizens?" For if so, he continues. Why does not the Government apply this policy in Georgia, where so many lynchings occur each year? When Georgians can't control their mobs any better than they seem to, and when their investigations after lynchings prove too much it would seem as though the people in the outside who are "civilized" might step in and do something. What that "something" should be, however, nobody seems to know. Referring to the lynching record of 1913, the Washington Times, under date of January 2, 1916, points out that Fifteen states may take what pride they wish from the fact that they were in the lynching zone. Georgia has the unenviable distinction of being the last in only 11 of the 69 lynchings in which the crime charged that one upon which advocates of the "unwritten, law base their claims to kill, without trial, those who commit it. Sealing hogs and poisoning mules were among the other offenses for death the other pallets lived without process of law in four of the cases absolute proof later was forthcoming that the victims were not guilty. In other cases the evidence against them was hazy. Neither can it be that the lynchings were wholly a racial problem, for of those who met death in this manner were white. In concluding these remarks, which are obviously free from any prejudice, it is observed in the editorial that all indications point that the whole question of lynching is not a question of race, but a problem of civilization, which ought before being proved of our enlightenment. The 69 lynchings involved 65 victims. According to the Tuskegee Institute record, prepared by Mr Monroe N. Work, there were 15 lynchings in Georgia, 9 in Alabama, 9 in Mississippi, 5 in Texas, 5 in Kentucky, 5 in Arkansas and 5 in Florida. The reason for the lynching was the apparently wickedness, Illinois, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Subsequently some question has been raised as to the accuracy of the Virginia return, which apparently was a newspaper error. Lynching, however, is shown to be still largely a Southern border state, like Ohio. Mississippi has more instances. The evil is growing by and contaction in strict conformity to the psychology of suggestion. The public mind is being dulled with the terrible details of crimes more unspeakable and more vile in some instances on the part of the lynching mob than on the victim. Lynch law will be made a subject of instruction in our universities. The only satisfactory treatise on the subject was published 10 years ago by James Hilbert Cutter, of Wellesley College. The conclusions arrived at a palestaking investigation will short of the required restatement of the principles of action. The subject is not in the discussion, but of thoughtful, serious and courageous consideration. The lynching civil is but one of several decidedly suggestive illustrations of American indifference to law and justice. The lynching of Sulciides and homeligdes are on the increase and in the aggrate case an annual loss of more than 25,000 lives. Sulciides are increasing among children as well as among those far advanced in age. The lynching is $5,000 per annum when allowances are made for doubtful returns. Sulciides number approximately 15,000 a year and San Francisco has the highest number of cities in the world. Memphis has the highest murder record in lynching. These are facts which cannot be explained away and they demand the most thoughtful consideration on the part of the public and the General Government. If the States will riot and punish adequately who conspicuously fall in a grave duty to protect those accused or convicted of crime against mob violence then a way must be found for the Federal Government to control the situation. Possibly the most satisfactory solution would be a rural conspiracy of rural police, in the principle of the most effective of the Texas Rangers, who would not be guilty of political subservience and violate their oath of office in a cowardly and contemptible manner. It is the duty of the pulpit and the press to emphasize on any and every appropriate occasion the sanctity of human life of the murder and self-murder, and lay but not least, the perversion of civilization in acts of lynching and mob violence.

Mr. L. A.

SEGREGATION CASE Sr. Louis, Mo.-The decision of Judge D. P. Dyer of the United States District. Court, voiding the segregation ordinances passed in this city last Feb- ruary, was published in full in the Argus. Owing to the wide interest felt in this case, it is reproduced below: The Court: "I have listened with much interest to all that has been said here. The debate has taken a very wide range. Practically there is but one legal question before the Court delegated that which is the validity of the two ordinances in formation. That being true, it is also true, as counsel has said, that the Court's feelings personally should have nothing to do with determining this one question. Judges are very much like other people. They all try to do right when it comes to the law. "Nine years ago on this bench I took an oath. One of its provisions was 'that you solemnly swear that you will administer justice to the rich and poor alike.' I have tried hard to live up to the obligation of that oath. I know I have made many mistakes and that I would probably would be counted a learned judge, but I have tried to do justice between man and man. "Allusion has been made by counsel here to the fact that I have lived in this State a long time: For more than seventy years I have resided within sixty miles of where I sit to-day. My father came to this State from old Virginia where I was born, and settled Lincoln County in 841. He was the owner of the Negroes, but as God is my judge I have tried always all my life to be just to them, and God giving me help I will continue so to the end. "I have heard all this talk about intermarriage and miscegation and all of that fifty years ago. Arguments were then made for the purpose of scaring men out of their families by an act of misogyny, by prejudices, by arguments, if they may be called such, were made when the question of emancipation was up; it was the contention then that ultimately it would lead to intermarriage between the two races, and that the thing of the kind then, and believe go now. Negroes do not ask for equality; whites do not as ktor it; the Negroes only ask to have the same privileges as others have, the same rights under the law as others have. The Negroes are not in the United States; they are taxpayers of the city of St. Louis by virtue of which they are entitled under the Constitution to the same legal rights as any white, native born, or any foreign born naturalized citizen of the United States to be treated out of justice if I hesitated to deal out equal justice to every one alike. "These ordinances I have heretofore considered. As a citizen I examined them with care, and as a citizen I cast my vote against them, and, in my judgment, not formed particularly today, but formed before I exercised my vote against them. As a citizen I ordinances are void and illegal and that the police power claimed here cannot deprive a man of using the money made by the sweat of his brow in buying property wherever the property owner will sell it, and, when he does buy it, he has a right, under the Constitution and the laws of the United States, the law and as long as the property is not made a nuisance. Everybody knows, we all know and regret it, that not only among Negroes, but among white people there are communities which are no credit to the localities in which they exist, but among white people, and among white men that are to be found anywhere are found in this city among the colored people. I speak of that because of the argument made here about the police power being sufficient to deprive a man of his property, deprive a man of his earnings and deprive him of the property, and deprive him of that, before it did not affect me then and it does not affect me now." "I shall grant here a temporary injunction restraining the enforcement of these ordinances, and I only say temporary for the reason that it has involved a like question now before the Supreme Court of the United States. "As I said at the beginning, knowing this case was coming I wrote to the clerk of the Supreme Court for a copy of the record in the case pending there, and of the briefs filed by counsel in the case. I have examined that record, and I have examined it in another case. I have found a very great difference between the ordinance before the Supreme Court and the ordinances here, but being desirous of not taking any action on issues on which the Supreme Court is to pass, and whose decision it is my duty and the duty of every other citizen of the United States to acquiesce in, I will make this injunction temporary; otherwise but for the pendency of that case I would make it permanent. "The order will" be that these injunctions as prayed for in these bills will be granted, a continuing order until the further order of this Court." NOTABLE ADDRESS UTICA INSTITUTE, Miss. —Bishop Theodore D. Bratton, bishop of Mississippi, made a significant and strong address to an audience of more than a thousand white and colored people, when he delivered the commencement address at the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, Wm. H. Holtzclaw, principal. "No people will come to a knowledge of themselves until they express themselves in something they have made," said Bishop Bratton. "I have no doubt that what was behind the life and soul of your great prophet, my Moses, Dr. Booker T. Washington, was that his race would not come into a knowledge of themselves until they could interpret in themselves what they accomplished. I warrant that if the friends of Tuskegee that are here interpret him, it will be in some terms similar to that. So what you have done here on the stage to-day is but the expression of the children of a new race, and it is marvelous in our eyes. Now the first thing that I want you to know is that until you begin to interpret yourselves by what you accomplish, you will never know yourselves. Until you measure your ability by your power to create, to accomplish, you can never know what your abilities are. I have often said to my Negro friends and also to my white friends that we must realize that neither the Negro race knows itself nor does the white race know the Negro. There has been no opportunity for that until the last two generations. I would almost limit it to one generation. I haven't much respect for a man, who demands recognition until he has done something to be recog. Other short talks were made by Emmit J. Scott, secretary, and Major J. B. Ramsey, Tuskegee Institute, and F. M. Coleman, superintendent of public in- THE STORY OF THE NEGRO WASHINGTON THE STORY OF THE NEGRO WASHINGTON THE LARGE EDUCATION WASHINGTON MARITIME HISTORY WASHINGTON WORTHFUL JOURNAL WASHINGTON HISTORY OF SLAVE WASHINGTON DOUBLED PAGE 1 DOUBLED PAGE 2 Enclosed please find three dollars, for which send at once, your Tuskegee Edition of Booker T.

TYLER IS DEFEATED BUT MADE GOOD.RACE CLEVELAND, O.—At the primary election held Tuesday, April 25, for the election of delegates to the Republican National Convention, less than 100,000 Republican votes were cast, about one-fifth of the total Republican vote in the State. In Cuyahoga County, the home of Senator Burton, Ralph W. Tyler, the first colored man to run on a State ticket for delegate-at-large, ran more than one thousand ahead of William Percy Procter. George A. Myers, who took charge of Tyler's interests in this county, fought a great fight for his choice, and Tyler is said to have received every colored vote cast in this county. In speaking of the result, Mr. Myers says that the vote cast for Tyler in Ohio, exceeding thirty thousand, is a notice to party leaders that colored men are together here, and that they must be given greater consideration. In the five big counties of the State in which there is the heaviest colored vote, Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Montgomery, Clark and Lucas, Tyler polled nearly 20,000' votes, and in Toledo and Lucas County he ran ahead of Sullivan. Much feeling has been engendered against Senator Burton among colored voters for the reason that all his forces opposed Tyler, the colored candidate, Colored voters accepted this as an indication that Senator Burton is not overly friendly to the interests of the race. Although losing, the fight made by Tyler and his friends for race representation has resulted in a big victory for the race. DEATH OF PIONEER IN NEGRO EDUCATION NASHVILLE, TENN.—A pioneer in the work of educating the Negro youth, Miss Joanna P. Moore died April 16, at Selma University, Selma, Ala., where she was visiting. Her body was taken to Nashville, and buried from the Ryman auditorium on Wednesday, April 19, with thousands of friends, admirers and associates in attendance on the funeral services. Miss Moore-was born in Clarion county, Pa., September 26, 1833, and in 1863 she began her work among the Freedmen on Island No. 10, in the Mississippi river. Until 1868 she continued in this work, when she was called home to care for an invalid mother. In 1873, as an evangelical missionary, she took up work in Louisiana. In 1877 she became the first missionary of the Woman's Baptist Home Mission Society, at the same time conducting a home for old women in New Orleans. In 1884 she became a promoter of Fireside Schools, and in 1885 she began the publication of "Hope," a periodical which she edited for twenty-five years, and which is being published now in Nashville; where she moved in 1894. The funeral services were participated in by many of the most distinguished men of both races in Nashville, with the Rev. W. S. Ellington as master of ceremonies. NORTH CAROLINA'S G. O. P.

GREENSBORO COLLEGE STARTS NEW FEATURE GREENSBORO—Friday night, March 31, an important meeting, marking a departure in the college, known as the "North Carolina Mutual Night" was held. President Dudley explained that the college had decided to use each fifth Friday night to give special consideration to some form of Negro enterprise. This is to become a permanent feature of the college, and in this way the opportunities and responsibilities of the race to all enterprises in which the Negroes are interested are to be set forth. The program is intended to include the Negroes in business as well as the Negroes in professional and industrial pursuits. At the first meeting the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co. of Durham, N. C., was the subject. General Manager C. C. Spaulding referred to the excellent work that had been done by representatives of this college who had been in the employ of his company. Dr. A. M. Moore, secretary and treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual, gave account of his recent trip to Hayti. J. W. Sapp and O. W. Rhodeaux spoke and E. D. O'Neill, Greensboro representative of the North Carolina Mutual, presided. E. R. Merrick, president of the company also spoke. Supper was served in the dining hall of the college and two addresses were delivered, one by Prof. Crittenden of Livingstone College and the other by Mrs. Hattie Johnson of Greensboro. NO "BIRTH OF A NATION" FOR HALIFAX, N. S HALIFAX, N. S.—A delegation of some forty citizens, both colored and white, waited on the Provincial Government in opposition to the picture play "The Birth of a Nation" being exhibited in Halifax at the Academy of Music. Among those who spoke in opposition to the picture were the Rev. M. B. Puryear, the Rev. J. P. Stephens and the Rev. Charles Allison, M. P. F. Jemmott, the Rev. Canon Vernon and P. F. Moriarty. They stated that they looked upon the picture as objectionable and one that is not in the best interests of the colored citizens nor of the citizens in general. They claimed that the picture did not portray history as it was, and wherever shown had caused hard feelings, and had been an incentive to race riots at Boston and Philadelphia. A similar drama called the "Clansman" had been prohibited at Halifax some years ago. C. C. Blackadar, president of the Academy of Music, said he had given a good deal of consideration to the matter, and had decided that in the interest of good feeling in the community that the pictures should not be shown, and he had instructed the manager of the Academy to that effect.

Races Work Together at Nashville. It is just one month after the disastrous fire in East Nashville, which in about four hours rendered destitute over 2500 persons, about half of the number white and the other half colored. They were burned out of almost every thing save the clothes upon their backs. But before the fire had ceased raging men and women of the greatest capacity in both races were beginning an organization necessary to take care of the sufferers. Homes were thrown open, money came without solicitation, food and clothing were provided. After the first ie wdays of temporary relief of food and clothing it became evident that, something would have to be done in a larger way to provide mony of these families with necessary household furnishing to reestablish them in their homes. This was more largely true of the colored people, who were the greater sufferers. But the white people contributed liberally although they knew that the greater part of the help would probably go to Negro sufferers. On April 22, after a month's work, the Relief Committee of the Negro Board of Trade and the Relief Committee of the Commercial Club, the white business organization of the city, wound up a month of close, friendly co-operation which marks a new period of racial good feeling and practical working together. The Relief Committee of the Negro Board of Trade, led by President A. N. Johnson, was as follows: T. Clay Moore, secretary; D. Wellington Berry, Dr. F. A. Stewart, W. H. Singleton, D. W. Crutcher, and Dr. George E. Haynes, director of the staff. This Committee has received congratulations on all sides for the business-like and efficient way it has handled both the work of relief and its relations with the white committee.
