XXIX No. 35 BUFFET FLATS' DEVELOPMENT Investigation Shows Whole saler Responsible for Development of Evil. Supplies the Landlady with All the Intoxicating Beverages Required for Catering to Her. Clientele of "Transient" Lodgers. SALOONMEN WANT CHANGE Fact is Developed that Many Evils Now Charged Against Negro Saloonman are Due to Diverting of Patronage of Mass of Negroes to Saloons Conducted by White Men-Effort to Change Conditions. In a resume of conditions, as concerns the liquor trade in Harlem, probably the most important element is to be found in the operations of the men who conduct the wholesale liquor stores, or "barrel houses" as some of them are referred to. In The Age, during the past several weeks, articles have appeared treating of Harlem liquor condition, and it has been clearly shown that whatever unsatisfactory conditions are obtained at this time are due primarily to the influence of the "barrel houses," with the "back rooms" of the saloons conducted by some of the white men affording a strong secondary influence. These phases have been considered in former articles, but it is impossible in the scope of these articles to cover all the ground necessary to a complete consideration. In investigating the relation of the salon in Harlem to the material progress of the race the openly conducted saloon is, of course, an important factor. But there has also been discovered the fact that the operation of "buffet flats" must be given serious consideration. The "Buffet Flats." The "buffet flat" is a peculiar contrivance, and, perhaps, indigenous to New York City. Primarily, it appears its operation began in a small way, through the catering of a landlady to the liquid wants or needs of temporary lodgers or visitors, ordinarily known as "transients." As the circle of "judicious" or "trustworthy" friends was extended, the supply of liquids to be obtained on the premises was amplified and increased. In many cases, when the increased quantity was necessitated, the landlady was "short" of change, and that meant the wholesaler was taken into her confidence, at least to the extent of a request for credit until the sought-for stock of liquids could be disposed of. And here is where the wholesaler displays his fine art. He has noticed, of course, the frequent purchases made by our Landlady, and now he has a chance to himself unfish(?) appreciation. He not only grants the small credit asked for, but insists that a larger order means increased profit at no additional risk to the lady. With smooth-tongued plausibility he impresses upon her that she will only be doing what others are doing, and that he will be only too glad to extend all the consideration necessary. Thus he becomes her silent partner, furnishing the intoxicants which she disposes of to her circle of clients at a price greatly in advance of the saloon's rate. And she pays neither State or governmental tax. Increasing Her Clientele. The combination thus formed rarely steps with the dispensing of alcoholic drinks, beginning the custom as a catering to 'transient' lodgers, the desire for an increased chentelle usually leads to the installing of 'permanent' ballets in the shape of attractive young women whose presence will draw an additional number of men, the men, of course being given every opportunity to enter the patrons of the landlady's private court. This is all grist to the mill for the wokaker, or keeper of the 'barrel whiskey', who is supplying this particular drink and the more stuff the wokaker adds, the more pleased is the wokaker man.

Some Objectionable Features.

Olivet Baptist Church and the fifth anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev. Win P. Hays were jointly celebrated Sunday, May 21, the membership of the church muting in marking the event by a "Rally of the States". The appropriate decorations consisted of flags and banners with the American eagle mounted high above all. The man feature of the day's service was the preaching of the anniversary sermon by the Rev. Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., a former pastor of Mt. Olivet, who took as a subject "Christian The Rev. WM. P. HAYES Progress. He was introduced to the congregation by the pastor. The choir sang Coleridge-Taylor's 'O, Ye That Love the Lord,' and "I Will Give Thanks Into Thee," by Rossam. The evening service included the "Rally of the States." The pastor read his fifth annual report, showing that the church had gained 1,200 new members during his pastorate, with a present membership of about 2,100; had raised $51,979.50; the pastor has solemnized 133 marriages; attended 15 funerals and delivered 650 sermons and addresses. A paper, "Samson and the Foxes," was read by Mr. Fox. The choir sang "Inflammatus," from Stalact Mater by Rossan, with Miss Amy P. Bailey singing the soprano obligato, and the membership responded to the call of the rally. Because of the number engaged and the amount involved the final report was deferred to next Sunday. ELECTED SECRETARY EPISCOPAL DIOCESE (Special to The New York Acct.) OMAHA, NEB.—At the forty-ninth annual council of the Diocese of the Episcopal Church, which met in this city, the Rev. John Albert Williams, who has been the assistant secretary for a number of years, was unanimously elected secretary of the diocese. The new secretary is rector of St. Philip's Church of Omaha. SHERIFF KILLED FOR (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) ELBERTON, GA.-Sheriff S. N. Hailey of Elbert county was shot and killed in the court house by Arnold Worley, a well known attorney of this city. A quarrel started when Worley charged Hailey with being too rough with a Neuro prisoner. few jobs during the week. A helper will assist with one job on Monday, and as it is the custom to pay off the workers after each job is finished, he will have a sum, not large, it is true, but sufficient forklum, with probably a companion helper, to make his way to a "jarrel house" and buy enough cheap whiskey or gun to bring on a feeling of antagonism to work for the next day or two. Some of the owners of small moving van-which ought ordinarily be operated by one or two men, find it necessary to enroll from six to twelve helpers in order to be sure of knowing where to find workers when needed. And then sometimes they are fooled. In considering some of the objectionable features of the salons conducted by Negroes, investigation shows that the patronage given to the white men's salons by the large mass of the Negro population is responsible for many of these evils. If the patronage were diverted from the white men's saloon to one conducted by a Negro it would be possible for the Negro onlooker to eradicate every objectionable feature of his business as it is conducted at present. In this investigation, the colored saloonman has been given an opportunity to express himself on this phase of the question, and without exception he has declared his willingness to conform to all legal requirements. And, too, he has deprecated the conditions which make it necessary to cater to that class of trade which includes "women who drink." An effort has been made by all the interests concerned to do away with one of the most objectionable features of the saloon business: the crowds of men who stand in front of the salons and on the corners near salons. The authorities have instructed police officers to break in these congregations, but the order seems to have been honored more in the breach than the observance. Gov.

NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL OUT OF DEBT Unnamed Benefactors in State of New York Have Made Liberal Donations. THE TREASURER'S STATEMENT President J. E. Shepard Announces that Gen. J. S. Carr Has Given $1,000 on Budget of $323,000 Needed for Current Expenses, New Buildings and Endowment for Next School Year—Eight Graduates. (BY T. L. McCOY) Durham, N. C.-Thursday morning, May 18, 1910, Marked the seventh annual commencement of the National Training School at Durham, N. C. This ideal school is located just one mile and a half southeast of Durham. Seven years ago Dr. J. E. Shephard, a consecrated Christian gentleman, an ardent Sunday School worker, saw the need of a national religious training school and set about to establish one. How well he has succeeded is evidenced by the thirty-two acres of land upon which this school is located with ten spacious buildings thereon for housing and teaching young men and women religious precepts and industrialism. Commencing last Sunday, afternoon at 4 o'clock Avery's Auditorium was filled to its utmost capacity by Durham people as well as visitors from various parts of the State, who were charmed with the excellent baccalaureate sermon preached by the Rev P. J. Bryant, of Atlanta, Ga. The annual musicale and class day exercises took place Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D. C. delivered an address, entitled "The Race Problem Today". Mrs. Terrell is unquestionably one of the foremost women of the Negro race. Her optimistic view of the Negro's future in this country was told in an eloquent voice and for more than one hour she pictured the past, present and future of the race in a manner which was pleasing to all who heard her. Thursday, May 18, Dr. M. C. Morgan, pastor of Central Presbyterian Church, Summit, N. J., delivered the commencement address, taking as his subject "Preparedness." He said in part: "Preparedness is a great deal bigger word than can be expressed in terms on military defense. If you think that the problem of adequate preparedness is solved so soon as you have a few more guns along the coast, and a few more guns in your army and a few more boats in your navy, you are very much mistaken. A home is not prepared for occupancy just because it has no firepower on the land. You are prepared for work may not be directed and inspired by the spirit of God, and may His benediction rest ever upon you. What I have said, will I am sure, make clear the high valuation that I have put upon such an institution as this National Religious Training School, whereby you students are being equipped for a life service of the first mission. You are prepared to prepare your fellowmen for the most important service they can render to the nation and to the Kingdom of God. You stand for spiritual preparedness, which alone is adequate for the problems and responsibilities of life both for the individual an dfor the nation." The speaker's address was forceful and inspiring. The college chair headed by Mrs. Bessie G. King-rendered several public melodies. Troasuror's Announcement. The report of J. B. Mason, treasurer of the National Training School, read a. follows: "As a citizen of Durham and a friend of the colored people, I have come to share in your joy on this occasion. As the treasurer of this institution, I have come to make some important announcements. This should be a time of great rejoicing for the colored people in the school where its opening day. At that time a large mortgage debt faced the institution and there was not a penny in the treasury with which to gueit the current expenses. To-day there is not a penny due on the bond and indebtedness of the school and every one of the payment has been met and as treasurer I can now assume the property of the institution absolutely unmobilized with the little vested in them and with nothing due on the school term 1915-16. In addition to this there is still a few dollars in the treasury and the money for the building and for the facilities in sight. It has not been necessary for the treasurer to borrow one cent in order to make these announcements as I make these statements do you realize what responsibility rests upon you? How loyal you ought to be to this enterprise, how sacred them, for this institution is primarily of Durham should it be made a particular pride in it such that each a particular school in it sees that all debts paid. The president and treasurer cannot do it alone. The officers must have the support of the people. The trustees inform me that for the current expenses next year $17,000 will be needed, for new buildings, $25,000 for a new window. This is seemingly easy but it can be secured. Every person here ought to make a phone setting forth how much he or she will give on the amount to be raised and then the statement can be made to the public that the people of Durham have given us or that amount for the National Trust that the amount needed will forthcoming. I did not come here to say much. I am simply a business man and a citizen of Durham, a part of this institution and a friend of the colored people. I desire to say to the The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

GIRL WINS DAMAGES FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL (Special to The New York Age) (Special to The New York Age) HUNTINGTON, W. VA.-In the current court, Judge John T. Graham presiding, the Rev. C. E. McKee, former superintendent of the Uolored Orphan's Home, was sued for damage by a former pupil of that institution, Larryen Tinsley Lodd, the girl charging that at various times during her stay at the home she had been criminally assaulted by McKee. McKee resigned from the superintendency of the institution after a visitor from the State Board of Control found the young girl with a baby of which she was the mother in her arms and apparently acam in a delicate condition. McKee denied his guilt and introduced evidence to show that the girl had been intimate with another employee of the home, but the girl denied this and produced letters from the matron of the home in which she was asked to say that McKee had never wronged her but had treated her as a father. The jury returned a syriac for the girl, a soiling danages against McKee in the sum of $1,000. Apprehension for a new trial was denied, but it is probable that McKee will appeal the case. FRELINGHUYSEN GIVES (Special to The New York Ac.) BORDENTOWN, N. J.-Hon. Joseph S.

RED CAPS FORCED TO BE STRIKEBREAKERS The present handlers employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad at Pier 28, foot of 15 roses street, struck last week for an increase in pay, from 22 cents an hour to 25 cents. This was refused and the company has been forcing the porters, popularly known as "Red Caps," from the railroad station on Seventh avenue, to take the place of the strikers. Sunday the "Red Caps were called upon to volunteers to go to the freight dock, but none responded, as their experience in a former strike last fall had not been encouraging. However, they were told that they would have to go to the freight dock, not untreated or not. Two men, S-L Payt and Mr. Handy, then quit work rather than take the places of the strikers, who are foreigners. The others, forced by their necessity, to the number of about 150, went to the freight dock. Here they are to be paid $3 a day, but they have to work from ten to twelve hours and sometimes double up by doing extra duty at the Pennsylvania Station. This has kept some of them working twenty-four hours at a stretch. Their former pay was $19 $4 a month for some twenty-five from Jersey City, while the only income of the rest was from tips of the traveling public. Still this netted from $3 to $4 a day, without the risk and danger of working under strike conditions, at a task for which many of them are physically unfit. As it is stated that the Mallory Line, at the pier above, paid 40 cents an hour regularly and 60 cents under strike conditions, the Pennsylvania men feel that they are not being fairly treated in being forced to work for less. They hoped for, farer dealing from such a wealthy corporation as the Pennsylvania road. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) GAMVESTON, TEN - The Ace, L. Baptist Church awarded a contract this week for a call to the job, giving about $20,000, when fullyumped tunnelled, to Negroes, who will do the job from start to finish, and they are giving a bond to do the work just like any other firm of contractors. The Tanner Brothers of Columbus, Texas, are the contractors. The plans and specifications were also drawn by Fulton Tanner, an architect equal to an in town. WEALTHY WHITE KANSAN HELD FOR MURDER (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) CONTINUALLY.

Base Use is a wealthy man and this girl was in his employ, and all the evidence points to his guilt. Under the rules of the supreme court the offence is bailable and bond was fixed at $10,000. The people of both races got together and ran the murderer down. SHRINERS ENJOINED (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.)

Being introduced, Principal Moton delivered his inaugural address as follows, his subject being "Co-operation and Consecration": At a time when racial misunderstandings and sedimental state, resulting from the construction, had resulted in a white maze, when well deserved were trying to find an appropriate method of racial readjustment, a Southern white man, one who had strong Southern feelings, who saw the great need for a better school and the South, and who was filled with a desire to help him, wrote General Samuel C. Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute, asking that he send a colored man to Tuskegee to begin work on the Hampton plan. When he modelled, unassuming young man, Booker T. Washington, reported with a letter from General Armstrong, his former teacher, and was cordially received and welcomed to this community by Mr. George W. Campbell, then it was that a form of co-operation be established, which was destined to command the respect and admiration, not only of this nation, but also of the entire civilized world. Here met the three elements—the North, the South, and the Negro-elements that must be taken into account, any genuinely satisfactory adjustment, and appropriate ships. It was natural for white men to be considered as important factors in any and all adjustments and problems, whether educational, business or otherwise. Up to this time, the Negro had usually been the problem, and not the white man, so far as any first-hand indication he could make toward the solution of any large social question. These two men representing the two extremes of sectional sentiment, Mr. Campbell, a former slave owner, the South, and General Armstrong, a former officer in the Federal army, the North, and a broad in sympathy and wise in judgment, and entirely cold of any selfish motives, both netted by a sincere desire to reunite with the spirit, as well as in purpose, both patriotic American citizens—the two gentlemen united their forces for the prime object of lifting the burden of ignorance in the South Mr. Campbell wanted a Negro to undertake the work, and General Armstrong knew of at least one Negro who could do the work. These three far-sighted men, agreeing on a united purpose for the common good of humanity, began a cooperation which has been strikingly characteristic of Tuskegee Institute, and a co-operation vitally necessary for the permanent betrayment of the Negro race in our country. Moral and Material Support The Tuskegee Institute, from the very beginning, has had a moral and material support and backing from Mr. Campbell and other white people in community. Without which this institution no one knew and apprehended more than did Mr. Washington, and no one would have been more grateful than he was. There were also colored men who stood loyally by the founder of Tuskegee Institute in those early days in "Up from Slavey." Dr. Washington fittingly says: "The most men I all the difficulties which I have met get along with the school started, and once then through a period of nineteen years there are two men among all the many friends of the school in Tuskegee whom I have developed and taught to the undigging and the understanding of these men, from whom I have taught anything in vain. I move on them simply as types, the same as the other, the same as the holder, the other is a black man and an slave, Mr. Lewis Adams. I do not know two more men, and I judgment I would feel more like follower and that concerns the life and development of the man than that of these two men." as to say, Mr. Wright W., has stood by Dr. Washington.

Platforms are mostly made as a means of en- trance into public office, as well as to public carriers, It therefore will be necessary for the delegates to the Republican National Con- vention, convening at Chicago June 7, to scrutinize caretgy the careers of the various candidates for the [residential nomination. Especially is this true of the rep- resentatives of the Negro race, who are entitled to a voice and yote in that body. * Let them carefully consider the claims of the various candidates, with special reference to their-rec- ords for square dealing, when the question of humarrights has been ‘at stake. Let them sce whether performance has followed upon Promise, or whether the record is. one of words alone. * Many a public man has climbed up the political ladder.on, rounds of promises of a square deal and opportimity for race advancement whith have proven but empty phrases jor his hearers. Unless Promise has resulted in perform- ance, as proven by the public rec- ord 6f such aspirants they cannot be trusted to go higher up, even to the highest trust in the land. Let the records of the fair! Seren, friends, nf tberace,swho ‘have occu! ="uRXalted positions as Governitgsof Senator in New York, or Ohio, or any other State, be exposed’ to the clear light of truth, and their public policy of omission or commission caimly considered li the periormance squares with the promise, if words have bei translated into deeds, then support of their candidacy will be justified. Otherwise, they should be relentlessly opposed. Much of value has been lest to the race im the past four years. Unless the record of the nominee gives a guaraytee of regainmg these lost rights and opportunities the fight will be in vain so far as we are concerned. Let our dele- gates grasp the situation and real- ize that it is a condition that cou- fronts us, nota theory.” . .

In the Hight of these conditions.is there not gol teason to consider the, South- ern Negro ae one of the, South's greatest industrial assets?” These are good words“and they are. true words.

Last week a mob of several hundred men stormed the county court house in Waco, Texas, and seized Jesse Washington, a Negro boy, 18 years old, upon whom the judge had just pronounced sen- tence to be hanged fur murder, dragged him to the ejty hall square, and there burned him in the preseee-vf fifteen thousand men, wor men and children, e . 3 ‘» For this crime there was not the least shadow of excuse. ‘The boy had been charged with the murder ui a white woman. Fle had been found guilty and sentenced to beyhanged. The mob took hit out of the court house in the sight of the judge, the jury and the sheriff and burned him alive. The people who composed, the mob that perpetrated this act of savagery and the mob -that witnessed it ivel themselves superior to the Mexicans across the border, put they are not only luwer in the human scale than Mexicans, but lower than any other peaple who at present inhabit the earth; for not in Europe, nor Asia, nor Africa, nor South America, nor the'islands of the sea could be-found a people so close to the brute but they would have done such a deed, In comparison with them, a crowd of Mexican bandits is a company of high-souled, chivalrous gentlemen, We talk about helping Haiti and Santo Domingo and Mexico to rise to a higher level of civilization and development; it is enough to make the devil gasp in astonishment, seeing that we have in our own country such communities ai Waco, Texas. In the presidential chair we have a man who 1s continitally mak- ing firie phrases about “humanity? and “our duty to humanity”: let him speak a Word against lawlessness in this country, as it is practiced’ against the Negro, and he will render a greater service to humanity than he can in writing notes to the Germans about sinking their enemies’ ships. os ‘The three Catholic sisters who were arrested in St. .\ugustine. lon the charge of violating a law of Florida which forbids white teach- ers from teaching in colored schools and vice versa, have been or- dered released by the court. Judge Gibbs of that state rendered a lengthy decision in which he held that the law does na apply tw any schools except the public schools created and maintained hy the state. . That the application of the law as sought by the state would he a violation of constitutional rights, the court sets forth in the following language : Teachma 16 certamly a lawful buciness ad an hongrable calling Can nt he successfully said that ity limitation in the manner xussested as covered by the act im question would promote the health, safety, morals, or welfare of the State? T think not . ie ie contended that this legislation as applied to private schools ite decided elas: legislation “Hac a white seacher any the less right to sell his services to Nearo pupils than a white doctor to Nezrg patents, or a white lawyer to Negro clients, «or a white merchant has a fight to sell his, goods to Negns customers, and vice versa? Such a classtication 1s cer! {amnly hoe based upon any natural reason . ‘ * A study of the act and the authorities conssnces me that section 1 of Chapter 64, Laws of Plorida, 1913, 1f construcd to apply to private skchosde 1s sod acto auch schwol beeauce a aperapion <9 construed would tend to prevent no ofense or evil or to preserve the pubhe health, morals, * sealers. or welfare. that i ts an invasion of the eschte. secured. by. the fundamental law in that it amounts to class legislation depriving teachers of privileges which are not denied to any other class of citizens and it violates a liberty guaranteed by the constitution, to-wit, the right of the citizen to be free in the enjoyment of all of his faculties and be tree in ~ the use of them in al! lawful way: when they do not infringé upon the equal rights of others. This decision kills the obnoxious law in Florida, andshows that similar Jaws in other Southern states can be killed. It not only al- lows the Catholic sisters at St. \ugustine 10 go on with their work, but also removes the menace from the institutions which have been founded and are maintained by Northern philanthropy We are glad to see that Judge Gibbs did not attempt to release the sisters on any legal technieslity, but that he faced the question cquarely, and declared the arrest illegal and the law invalid A STUDY IN ENGLISH.

M. E. Church having decided upon the election of two men to that high office. The election occurred on Thursday, the fifteenth day of the twentieth quadrennial conference, the following consuming the entire (43). On the third ballot the Rev. William Wesley Bectett of South Carolina received 277 votes, the Rev. Isaac Nelgson of Baltimore, 312, the number necessary to beat long 300. Dr. Beckett and Dr. Ross were declared elected. The Rev. W. J. Johnson St. Georgia, an uninduced candidate, received 200 votes, while the Rev. W. A. Pountain, also of Georgia, and endorsed by the conferences of that State, received 173. Rev. Bectett was born in South Carolina, and except for four years in New York as missionary secretary, has lived practically all his life in that State. He is president of Allen University at Columbia, S. C., the school from which Bishop, Ross is a native of Tennessee and has posted some of the largest characters in the denomination. He came to the influence from Ebenezer A. M. Moore in Baltimore. E. Caucher The groups-elect were ordained on Sunday with impressive ceremonies, which took more than three hours. Taking part in the services were Bishop B. L. Foster (retired), Bishop Evans Three Times, Charles S. Smith, Bishop L. J. Coppin, Bishop C. T. Shafer, Senior Lostb B. F. Lee, Bishop H. B. Patterson and Bishop J. S. Flpper. Senior Bishop Benjamin F. Lee presented the ordination sermon and took attendance of the opportunity to denounce the injustice, divorce and the law of abuse by ministers: Bishop Bossy was presented for ordination by Ress P. J. Chavis, D. A. Christie, D. A. Ingrassag, W. F. Rice, L. R. Karno and George F. Woodson, Bishop Ress was presented by the Reys, H. Y. Arnett, J. W. Norris, M. R. Bye, J. D. Dickerson, C. S. Williams and R. V. Branch. Bishop Beckett was ordained by Bishops B. F. Lee, H. Blanton Park and J. S. Flipper. Bishop Koss was ordained by Bishops Evans Trevett, Charles S. Smith and C. T. Stuifer. The discussion from the Central Tentative Conference was unsecured because it was claimed that the last quadrennial conference dissolved that conference and it had been reorganized without regard to the rules of the church. The Ken J. O. Roeinson of Pine Bluff, who had been charged with receiving financial advances to champion the invitation to C. L. Roosevelt to address the conference, concurred himself in a strong green line charges against Bishop Louisa A. Jones, embracing maladministration and misappropriation of money at the N.Y. Episcopal district, were found to be supported by the evidence. The bishop was found guilty and the committee recommended that he be publicly reprimanded. The election of general officers was held on Saturday. All incumbents were selected, as follows: John R. Hawkins, Washington, D. C. financial secretary, R. C. Ransom, New York editor of the A. M. E. Church Resume-Fr. E. Bryant, Nashville, Tenn. narrator of the Sunday School Union, G. W. Allen, Columbia, Ga., editor of the southern Christum Recorder, J. W.

With educational mass meeting held on Sunday, at Allen A. M. E. Church, at I Jambridge streets, Bishop J. J. who presided, took occasion command the Rev. W. Spencer Carrion of that church, who had secretly criticized for a sermon the Sunday previous in which most members of the conference affences committed while attendance on the general conference said the bishop: I have the respect for the man who is going to hell and would thing to turn me around. Command a man who tells not condemn him. I know that the truth, but I believe that a sacred place, where the truth, and should be told was the carpenter said was the truth. I stand at a man who tells the truth, but I do get mad someone lies about me. I condemned him, but I did was held in the interest of Normal and Industrial with the Rev. Richard D. Gregal.

Y.-After a strong fight by opponents to the election of missionary bishops for Africa, the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church decided to retain the missionary bishops and to elect a Negro to succeed Bishop Isaiah Benjamin Scott, who voluntarily retired after twelve years of service in Liberia, although he could have continued in service twelve years more. The balloting began on Monday. The first, showed the Rev. Alexander P. Camphor leading by so large a majority, although he lacked the two-thirds vote necessary to elect, that other candidates voluntarily retired and on the first ballot taken Tuesday morning he was elected, receiving 706 of the 736 votes cast. He will assume charge of the work in Liberia, west coast of Africa, relinquished by Bishop Scott. Bishop Camphor was born in Louisiana, August 9, 1865, and was educated at New Orleans University, Columbia University, New York, and the University of Chicago. The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred on him by Columbia University. In 1895 he was married to Miss Mamie Westers of Woodville, Mo. He was vice-consul at Monrovia, Liberia, from 1902 to 1907, and in 1908 was elected president of the College of West Africa at Monrovia. He gave up this work, to return to America and accept the presidency of Central Alabama College, Birmingham, Ma, which position he holds at present. The Rev. Eben S. Johnson of Stout City, la., was the white missionary bishop elected for the remainder of Africa. Bishop Johnson was born in England fifty years ago. The general conference has adopted a plan for the unification of the northern Methodists with the _M. E. Church, South, which provides for the setting of the question in 1918. In order that prejudices of the southern Methodists might be overcome the plan embraces the forming of a supreme general conference with a number of subordinate quadrennial conferences, one of which is to be composed of the Negro members only. The Rev. John F. Goucher, president emeritus of Goucher College, Baltimore, speaking in favor of the plan, said the Negroes would have their interests protected and would have an opportunity to solve their own problems. He said: "They have never had the privilege of making their own mistakes. Mistakes have been many, but they have been made for them by others." This does not mean that Negro bishops will be elected, however, as the northern Methodists have already decided against full-fledged Negro bishops and there is no hope whatever that the southern Methodists will be favorable. The Negro conference will, therefore, be presided over by a white bishop. GENERAL OFFICERS OF A. M. E. Z. CONFERENCE LOTSVILLE, Ky--Following the election of four bishops, the general conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church proceeded to the election of its general officers. The following officers for the various connectional positions were chosen, after a campaign almost as exciting and interesting as that which marked the election of bishops: Dr. W. H. Goler, financial secretary. Dr. Harvey Johnson, editor Star of Zion M. D. Lee, general secretary. J. W. Crockett, manager publishing House The Rev. J W. Martin, secretary of Education J Francis Lee, Secretary S. S. Literature John C. Dancy, secretary Church Lt. tension C. C. Alleyne, editor Quarterly Review T. N. Wallace, editor Western Star of Zion.

NATIONAL RELIGIOUS colored people, you cannot rise by putting some one else down, all of you must learn to see the good and not the bad in our fellow men. Be a booster instead of a knocker. The money you are going to spend this summer should be given to this institution. Do you know of the thousands, of dollars spent to rid this school of indebtedness, not one dollar has been contributed by the colored people? This will not do. Some day you will know the names of the two people who have given these large amounts. When you do know, honor them as long as you for without them all the day. Do not an adult your children would not have been possible. From this day I believe every person white and colored, in Durham will be proud of this institution. I know that it has the best wishes and sympathy of the white citizens." Benefactors in State of New York. Dres. E. Shepherd arose and said: "You have just listened to the wonderful announcement of our treasurer. In the outset I desire to express to him my grateful appreciation for the care, patience and ability he has shown in working out difficult problems. I have never been able to realize that the National Religious Training School is now able to say how much he servant depart in peace for I have seen the glory of the Lord," but I am asking Him to rules the budget just enumerated by the treasurer amounting to $232,000, and then if it is His will I can say it. Up in New York State there is a noble and generous woman and her wise counselor. Their hearts are listening for the sound of gladness springing from your hearts. These two live only for the God that rules above them and that the subject can do. It is the opportunity of this institution has been guaranteed. They have never seen it, but the story of its struggles and possibilities made them determined that it should live. I wish I could make the names of these two known to-day, but it is their earnest desire at present that they remain unknown save to a few. In a quiet unfulfilled way they desire to THE STORY FOR THE NEGRO WASHINGTON THE STORY FOR THE NEGRO WASHINGTON THE LARGER EDUATION WASHINGTON CHARACTER BUILDING WASHINGTON STORIES WITH MARK BOYD WASHINGTON DOUBLEDAY PAGE 61 DOUBLEDAY PAGE 61 DOUBLEDAY PAGE 61 Enclosed please find three dollars, for which send at once, your Tuskegee Edition of Booker T.

Every large item of current expense for this term, the money for the improvements and for the school's indebtedness has been given by these two friends. The Board of Trustees, will not meet until the fall, owing to the absence of our beloved chairman, Gen. Julian S. Curr. When the Board meets proper steps will be taken to render to these two friends the thanks of the officials of this institution." Dr. Shopphard said we will be trained for our future to begin, the officials hope to have a well-equipped modern theological department where men are taught the practical value of Christianity as applied in home, church and community life. Second—the establishment of settlement social centers. Third—the establishment of a well equipped teachers training department which will meet the needs of both the rural and city teachers. In addition, it is planned to hold a conference of teaching the methods of Christianity. This is an important by which advancement is expected through studying together the methods of improving the general educational condition of the Negro. A conference of ministers will be held during the month of February at which session, the whole problem will be studied from the moral and spiritual viewpoint. These two conferences are made possible through the generosity of our two friends already mentioned. I urge upon the people of my race assist in raising this my own problem. In our white friends will be encouraged to continue helping us along educational lines." General Carr Writes Letter. At this juncture a letter from General Julion S. Carr, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the school, was read. The letter follows: I genuinely and deeply regret that a very important and previous engagement prohibits my attendance upon the commencement exercise. If it were in my power I would be delighted to be present. It is my judgment that Dr. Shephard deserves the encouragement and assistance of every one in the community who is interested in the school he is attending for co-education race. There is a demand for such a school and it should be properly supported. Too much of the work has been left for the president to do and how, under the circumstances, he has accomplished all that he has, I can hardly understand. There is a limit to human endurance and I for one feel that the president should have come to it ourselves to show more substantial friendliness to Dr. Shephard and give him and his school a more cordial and liberal support. 'All for one, and one for all is a motto that I would command for your consideration. My encouragement and support if the school in the past is a token for my school in the future will work. I sit is that we should to sustain Dr. Shephard and forward his most worthy school, should find a cordial and liberal response. Those who have nothing more to give should not begrudge the President a kindly word of encouragement, which to one in his position and burdened as he must necessarily be, to give him a great opportunity to aid a struggling race to better its conditions. It is very satisfying to me that I have stood by the school in season and out, miss a great opportunity to aid a struggling race to better its conditions for the school from those who are able to give. Never lose sight of the fact that every little helps. I feel that the school is in its history, and while I am not in position to speak from observation, owing to my continued absence from the state, I be burdened by the need for the school's best work. In conclusion I beg to help the President to bear his arduous labor and to help the school that it may yet do better work and serve a larger patronage. With an assurance of my continued interest in Dr. Shephard and in the welfare of the School, I have the honor to remain. JULIAN S. CARK President, Business Gynee, The Dollars Dr. Shephard announced that Gen. Julian S. Carr has pledged to give $1,000 toward the current expenses of this school during next term. The announcement of such good news moved Dr. J. R Dudley, president of the A, and T College, Greensboro, to move that a committee be appointed to draw up suitable resolutions of thanks to Gen Carr for his liberal gifts and past aid given this school. The writer offered an amendment to this motion by saving "In recognition of this most liberal gift I motion that we rise and sing: 'Praise God from Whom All Blessings How.' The audience arose and sang with a zeal that made the welkin ring. Eight candidates for graduation stood before the rostrum and received their diplomas from Dr. N. E. Dellinger of Greenbore, who took occasion to deliver a few appropriate words of warning as to what they will meet in their struggles through life. The rewards of merit were delivered by C.C. Spaulding, who congratulated the students on the progress they have made. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell was asked to speak to the graduates, which she did meritoriously in telling the class that Dr. Shephard had dreamed dreams of this school and set about to bring his dreams true, and well he has done so. She said: "As you branch out into the world, you must dream dreams and then set about to bring those dreams into fruition as your president, Dr. Shephard has done." Dr. Spiller, pastor of Mount Vernon Baptist Church, offered prayer at the opening of the exercises Dr. E. M. Brawley offered prayer with benediction Dr. Shephard's Address to Graduates. Dr. Shephard's Address to Graduates. "Young men and young women, the time has come for you to go out into the world to test your own powers and to put into practice the lessons learned here. It is the only way you can load your own with eleventh hour advice. It is fitting, however, that I call your attention to some of the things told you in the very beginning and which every day has been stressed in the class room by your teachers and in precept and example, ever before you. The years of training here were old and you gather strength for larger loads, to arouse latent powers and fit you for service to God and your fellowmen. If your training here has not done this I fear it has been a failure. All education is given to you not simply for the purpose of making living, but or service for your fellowmen and then your own. He has particularly and wonderfully fixed it so that you cannot serve Him except by rendering service to your fellowmen and after this then of themselves other things will be added. I would not have you go out with a desire to be leaders except by and thus service. Superiority of mind and success of people is and true requirements of leadership. The Master said, "He who would be great let him be a servant of all" Newspapers, individuals, or ones own choosing cannot make leadership, but as you realize the principles laid down above and see in what way you can render the largest possible service to your church, your country and your god a grateful people will proclaim you a leader and that is the only true way. As you go forth it is necessary for you to show to the world that you have been properly trained. You can do this first, by unfailing courtesy and genuine politeness. Second, by esteeming work. God is a working God, and when the heir of all the ages, Iis only son, came into the world. He boasted of the fact that, My father worketh for a carpenter or a bookkeeper and no work in that particular line can be found, but there is an opening for another hand in digging a ditch rather than be an idler seek for that opening. Apply the knowledge learned in mathematics so as to dig the ditch with more beauty than the other follow and before very yong you will find yourself a bookkeeper for the gang and a bookkeeper for you and you will be before you realize it lifted into leadership. Do with thy might what, thy hands find to do. Real success never yet was handed to anyone imbled in cotton. It is a plant of slow growth and, often is watered with tears and enriched with great sacrifices. It is not a matter of inheritance either. You work out your own salvation with fear and trouble and so with success you through principles and oftentimes hardships. I am listened to a symphony of one hundred and fifty instruments. Every one in perfect harmony and as I listened the thought come to me that the perfect accord cost hours of work. There is no easy path leading upwards. The very words climbing success an output of energy. You will find many occasions arising as you go out which will require on your part the exercising of wonderful self-control and patience. You will wonder if you will be burdened by a bearer of all. It is simply a process of development. Individuals and races have to go through the same process.

It was, however, a divine plan to have a leader to take care of that through it and from it would come a leader who would lead a people across the Red Sea, into a promised land. He had been schooled in patience and in humility. He had been taught all the wonders of nature and could read the signs of God in the heavens and learned through adversity and affection what he could never have learned in prosperity. Mazzard, the great Italian patron, held ever as the priest. Not my voice, but my duty. He many, my right, my patient and watchful; through it all work out a great salvation. He reliable and thorough in every good work. Finally, never forget the God of our Fathers. Never be ashamed of religion or afraid to express the reason for the faith that is within you. The religion of Jesus is the most priceless legacy you can have, a consolation in trial situations, a friend all the time, the beacon of warmth, lodge our of the darkness into the marvelous light. If you would know how to be obedient, how to be patient, how to be reliable, thorough, trustworthy and true, how to walk and not faint, how to run and not be weary, how to conquer and win, when oppressed on every hand, then I pout you to the greatest, text book you would read, to the most holy Bible. Read it daily. No man or woman, whatever race or nationality, is thoroughly educated until he knows that Book. It is a custom of this institution to give each graduate a copy of the great text book I mentioned above, so I present to you the book, your guide, thy light, thy staff, thy teacher, your mother sends you forth, her beloved children, and as you go may God go with you.

But things have changed greatly since then; and those who were fortu- nate to gain admittance to St. Mark's ME.

Aldama Jackson, «choir director. organist. . choir were brought to 2 realization- of the wonderful strides the church concert has made along artistic lines. ‘It was the fourth annual choral pro- gram presented by the St. Mark's M. E. Church choir, and the occasion was a big one in many gespects. E, Aldama . Jackson, choir director and organist; and his. co-workers had every reason to ex- pand their chests a’ few more inches, for it. was the most successful concert given in the history of the choir. St Mark's M. E. Church never held a larger crowd. Every nook and comer of the “etiurch edifice was occupied, and nearly five hundred persons were turned away. One sister, who came a trifle late and was compelled to stand, aiter repeatedly complaining to a companion about the discomfort her pedal extremiues were giving her, was heard to say: “They certamly ought to icel ike singing be- fore all this crowd” And “they” did sing. ‘ Seated on the chancel were over fiity singers, members of St. Mark's M. E. Church choir, and they presented ‘a striking appearance. the female members dressed in whnte and the men in even- ing clothes. Back of the singers was stationed the Symphony Orchestra oi the Martin-Smith School, fifty in num- ber. under the direction of David I. Martin. In the ensemble numbers, which won first honors on the program. the combined efforts of the choir and orchestra produced an éffect suggesting a finished performanée given on the professional stage rather than a church concert in which many of the partici- _ Pants were amateurs. MI the soloists of the: evening, con- ducted themselves with credit, capturing their respecte shares sof applause. Quite a promising singer 1s Mrs. Maric Anderson, who possesses x: sweet voice of pleasing freshness; andé while she was heartily applauded at the conclusion ‘of her soprano solo, “Ah Roberto, tu che adora,” I am of the opinion Mrs Anderson's auditors would have pre- ferred a song in English. Few in the audience spoke or understood other than the “United States” Howevér, the point taised refers more to the question 01 judgment in selection than to voice. The popularity of Mme. W. O. Ter- . ‘ll ahd the appreciation shown for her work as a coloratura Singer were at: tested by the profuse applause that greeted her at the close of her number the "Shadow Song.” one of the sos difficult selections on the program Mme_ Terrell i¢ an important cog ir the St Mark's M. F.

R. Church chéir has a Iyric tenor of ability In his selection, “When My Ship Comes Sailing Home,” the only fault found in his rendition was his inclina- tion t+ sing about “ships comes sarhng’ instead of using the word “ship” Many sisted of a concert performance of “Faust.” Miss Minnie Brown (Marga- rita) lived up to her reputation of being one of the leading church soloists in New York, \and was easily one oi the artistic hits. Miss Ethel Clarke (Siebel), ‘Mr. Charles H. Waters (Faust) and Mr. George W. Taylor (Mephistopheles) were heard to advantage and helped make the ‘evening a gala one for the ‘St Mark's M. E. Church choir. Such ambitious and laudable efforts of E. Aldama Jackson and those associated with him in raising the staiidard of the church concert and also that of the church choir should be encouraged. Friendly comment and kindly suggés- tions are in order rather than biting criticism or uncalled-ior deprecation. Aiter Monday evening's big ovation to Se. Mark's M, E. Church choir I feel confident Prof. Jackson was sufficiently inspired to keep up the good work. As to the program in general, my only personal criticism was one in which the executive heads were guilty of an error of omission, not commission. Not once was a spiritual or a Negro song rendered—songs which we can sing better and more effectively than all others. Prohably this was an oversight.
