WOMAN OF RARE BOSTON HONORS MENTAL POWERS PHILLIPS' MEMORY Miss Isabella Vandervall Wins Honors as Student. SCORES HIGHEST AVERAGE. Graduates at Head of Class at the New York Medical College and Hospital For Women—Receives Appointment as Interne at Hospital For Women In Syracuse, N. Y. By N. BARNETT DODSON. East Orange, N. J. — Among the young women of the north, and particularly in New Jersey, who have won wide distinction in the high schools and colleges is Miss Isabella Vandervall of this town. From a child Miss Vandervall has shown unusual ability in every subject for study in all branches of the public and high school system which she has entered. Her career in the grammar and high schools here through her graduation from each is a bright chapter of intellectual ascendancy rarely found in the student life of a child of any race. When Miss Isabella Vandervall and her sister, Irene, graduated from the East Orange high school with the class of 1910 an attempt was made to exclude them from participation in the graduating class social function. Of this unjust act the Newark (N. J) Evening News in an editorial in which it also referred to the high honors won 1920 ISABELLA VANDERALL, M. D. by Estella Gibbs of Hoboken, N. J., and a Mr. Johnson of the Jersey City (N. J.) high school, said: "Instances of the same kind are not numerous, and yet they can be found in practically all the large cities of this state. If the colored pupils do not capture the highest honors as did those of Hoboken and Jersey City a goodly proportion of them prove to be energetic, studious, mentally capable and quite as competent to pursue the courses of study as are the white children. So far as public school education is concerned, there is no color line in New Jersey and no withholding of honors fairly won by industry and application. "Judging from the recent action of the June graduating class of the East Orange high school in attempting to exclude the Misses Isabella and Irene Vandervall, members of the class, from participating in the class dances, it would seem that sentiment in favor of intelligence, honesty and high moral character has suddenly undergone a radical change. "The young ladies in question are the daughters of Mr. James N. Vandervall, a well known and highly respected business man of East Orange. He is the owner of the Essex Steam Carpet Cleaning works and owns other valuable property besides." Miss Vandervall was only sixteen when she graduated from the East Orange high school. Not being of eligible age to enter a medical college, she did postgraduate work at the high school in East Orange for one term. Miss Vandervall completed her medical course at the New York Medical college, New York city, in June, with high honors. She was awarded the prize for having maintained the highest efficiency of any student in her class during the entire course of four years. Her average was 97.8 per cent. The graduation exercises of the New York Medical College and Hospital For Women were held in the Astor galleries of the Waldorf-Astoria. Miss Vandervall received her honors with the grace of modesty which has characterized her actions throughout her student career. She is the only woman of our race who has graduated from the New York Medical College and Hospital For Women during the fifty-two years of its existence. Not only did Miss Vandervall win the prize at the recent June commencement, but she has been awarded a prize at the end of the term for the past three years and has also stood at the head of a class of ten women and was the youngest student in her class. She has been appointed as an interne at the hospital for women and children at Syracuse, New York. Miss Vandervall entered upon her new duties at the hospital in Syracuse the first week in July. The whole race is proud of her notable achievements. Citizens Unveil Fine Statue of Noted Abolitionist. PATRIOTIC EXERGISES HELD With Music and Speeches by Eminent Men, Public Turns Out En Masse to Witness Event of National Interest. W. Monroe Trotter Speaks For Our Race. Boston. — A few minutes before 6 o'clock on the afternoon of July 5 the veil fell from the $20,000 bronze statue of Wendell Phillips in the Public Garden, and a crowd of from 5,000 to 6,000 accolied with cheers and patriotic song Daniel Chester French's almost speaking memorial of Boston's famous orator and abolitionist. As the sun was sinking behind rain clouds in the west little John C. Phillips, Jr., the great-grandnephew of Wendell Phillips, the man who declared that if he lived long enough he would make Boston streets too pure to bear the footsteps of a slave, pulled the cord releasing the mantle which for several weeks had velled the statue. As the folds fell away from the figure of the great abolitionist "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah" burst from a chorus of colored singers. Fervent was the prayer of Rev. Montrose W. Thornton, pastor of the historic Charles Street church and also chairman of the executive committee of the local Equal Rights league branch; sterling and practical the tribute of the acting mayor, George W. Coleman, a man of Wendell Phillips' principles, as was every speaker. Illuminating and forceful was the life story by Secretary William D. Brigham. Sweet and inspiring were the singing by the colored singers, led by Dr. Walter O. Taylor and J. Therman Jones, and the music of the brass band of Company L. Sixth regiment of Massachusetts militia. Picturesque and touching was the encomium by the only survivor of the New England abolitionists, Frank B. Sanborn, now eighty-three years old, still active, a coworker with Phillips, Earnest and unqualified was the praise by the spokesman for colored Americans, W. M. Trotter. Fired with eloquence born of love was the eulogy of Ireland's friend and friend of all oppressed by Michael J. Jordan, son of O'Connell's island home; tuneful and noble the paean of the poet of the occasion, grandson of Phillips' party leader, bearing his name, William Lloyd Garrison. Every participant was an emulator of the "Prophet of Liberty, Champion of the Slave," while the colored women of the Woman's Relief corps held the colors. The monument, a masterpiece by Daniel Chester French, the sculptor, represents the great abolitionist standing at a reading desk, his right hand resting upon the desk, his left out-stretched and holding a bit of broken fetter. Upon the marble background, above the head of the statue, are the words, "Whether In Chains or In Laures, Liberty Knows Nothing but Victory." On the pedestal, in front, are the words in raised bronze letters: On the reverse side of the background is this quotation from Phillips: "I love inexpressibly these streets of Boston, over whose pavements my mother held up tenderly my baby feet, and if God grants me time enough I will make them too pure to bear the footsteps of a slave." The exercises were opened by Mr. William D. Brigham, secretary of the Wendell Phillips Memorial association, who introduced the acting mayor, George W. Coleman, president of the city council. Mr. Coleman then introduced, in turn, four speakers, who presented a verbal panorama of Wendell Phillips' life. William D. Brigham spoke on "Morning-Youth and Vision"; Franklin Benjamin Sanborn on "Noon-the Abolitionist Period"; William Monroe Trotter on "Afternoon-Citizenship For the Colored American," and Michael J. Jordan "Evening-What Mr. Phillips Did For Ireland." Mr. Coleman, in introducing William Monroe Trotter, said that nothing was so appropriate as for the colored race to have a spokesman in dedicating a monument to Wendell Phillips and that there could be no more fit representative than William Monroe Trotter. Mr. Trotter said that Wendell Phillips was the originator of the north's policy of reconstruction and a pioneer advocate of the ballot for colored Americans. No man had done more for the cause of human rights, perhaps, than Wendell Phillips, save Charles Sumner. Wendell Phillips was among the first to announce emancipation as the purpose of the war and to urge that the people of color should be used as soldiers to help to save the Union. He was a pioneer in the movement for suffrage. He saw to it that slavery should be torn up by the roots and that as far as federal law was concerned every man, white and black, should hae citizenship and suffrage. Wendell Phillips believed, as we do, that the greatest thing is human freedom, said Mr. Trotter, and it cannot be maintained without equality, and there can be no equality without the ballot.

United States Commissioner of Education P. P. Claxton Chief Speaker at Recent Graduation Exercises — Governor Presents New Dining Hall. Professor Prillerman Reappointed. At the end of a school year filled with earnest effort and dotted with brilliant bits of unusual achievement Professor Byrd Prillerman, president of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, at Institute, W. Vn., receives the compliments of the state board of regents in being reappointed head of this busy, thrifty state school. The work of the students in all departments of the school the past term bears the stamp of painstaking personal effort. The reappointment of Professor Prillerman is hailed with delight by his large circle of friends among both races in the state, the race generally and educators especially, who know of the great work which he is doing for the race in West Virginia. When Gov- BYRD PRILLERMAN. error Hatfield recommended to the state legislature the raising of the institute to college rank he did it because the work and possibilities of the school merited it. At the recent graduation exercises the leading speaker was the Hon. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, who made a plea for the education of all peoples and all classes of people. He complimented President Prillerman in terms of high praise for the great work he is doing for our race through the institution. He also complimented the state for its attitude and liberality toward the school, adding that it was among the best six in the United States for the education of colored youth. The presentation of diplomas was made by M. P. Shawkey, and Governor Hatfield, on the part of the state, presented the new dining hall to the institute. A prize of $15 was given for the best kept room in the boys' dormitory and one for $10 to the room making the most progress toward cleanliness. Thomas Jesse Jones, connected with the United States bureau of education, made the presentations. The name of Miss Geneva-Prillerman, the president's daughter, appears on the list of graduates from two courses.

By far the largest and best attended of the conventions yet held by the Colored Women's Federated Clubs convened in our city this week. More delegates, more and better papers, larger and broader minds and bigger ambitions marks the degrees of advance of these energetic women. Since their organization in this city several years ago they meet and go about their routine of business and their deliberations with an intelligence equal to our men. All shades of our society life, moral, political and civil, are discussed that are indeed deed important factors and tend to the solution of many of the grave questions of the day. We only wish that we had the space and ability to print a few of the important papers read and discussed. The sessions opened Tuesday at 11 a. m., with Mrs. Dodge, State President, presiding. Mrs. Eliza Warner of Los Angeles, President and organizer of the first Federation, assisted the President on the platform. Mayor Davie was represented in the person of his private secretary, who made the delegates welcome to our beautiful city. We have been profoundly impressed and enthused over the great interest displayed by the delegates and friends, although not a few men object to their wives and daughters belonging to any woman's club. We believe that had they the time to attend these sessions and hear the discussion on the various papers read and the many good suggestions and advice offered, it would not take a very long time to convince them of the usefulness of these clubs, and we sincerely hope that the good work will go on and that the Father of all wisdom and eternity will keep and prosper them until the end of time. Election of State Officers. On Thursday afternoon, after one of the hardest-fought battles in the history of the Federation, one where accusations were hurled from the contending forces, and with much sarcasm many things were said by the speakers in support of the nomination of their respective candidates. Mrs. Esther Lee, the silver-tongue orator of the convention, the daughter of Rev. Jones of Vallejo, nominated Mrs. E. Brown of this city, and then the fireworks began. Mrs. Slaughter of Pasadena nominated Mrs. Dodge of San Diego, the present President, after which other and bigger fireworks were set off, showing very clearly that these club women know how to run a steam-roller and do politics. After the battle the following were elected: President, Mrs. E. Brown, Oakland; 1st Vice-President, Mrs. M. Bates, Los Angeles; 2nd Vice-President, Mrs. A. M. Garner, Bakersfield; 3rd Vice-President, Mrs. Jack White, San Diego; Recording Secretary, Mrs. H. B. Tilghman; Assistant Secretary, Mrs. H. Saunders; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. L. V.

State and Organization Days Named For Coming National Exposition. or and who is still one of the town's most noted men. The municipal government is run by colored men. There are an oil mill, p stoffe, telegraph office, bank, school and church, saloons. Among the literary features for instruction and amusement in course of preparation for the national Lincoln jubilee and exposition to be held at the Coliseum in Chicago from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16 are plegars showing the condition of the race centuries ago and its advancement under freedom. There will be educational and religious congresses, song festivals, bulletins showing the numerical strength of the race and many works of art and invention. The commission has issued a beautifully illustrated periodical called the Lincoln Sentinel. It is a four page paper with photos of Lincoln, Grant, John A. Logan, Owen Lovejoy, Fred Douglass, Stephen A. Donglass, John M. Palmer and Cardinal Gibbons. The data in the Sentinel cover a wide range of subjects of race effort, struggle and achievement through the fifty years which have elapsed since its freedom. Great interest is being shown by the various national organizations and the business men from the different states which will have exhibits at the exposition. For instance, Monday, Aug. 30, is designated as Indiana day, on which day large delegations of citizens of Indiana will be in attendance and act as guides to the other visitors in calling attention to the products of Indiana. Wednesday, Sept. 8, will be national Baptist convention day. On this occasion the public will have the opportunity of witnessing the wonderful progress made by the Baptist denomination. Exhibits from the national Baptist publishing board at Nashville, Tenn., will be one of the chief attractions. Saturday, Sept. 11, will be Mound Bayon (Miss.) day. The town of Mound Bayon was founded by Isaiah T. Montgomery, who was its first may- or and who is still one of the town's most noted men. The municipal government is run by colored men. There are an oil mill, p. stoffe, telegraph office, bank, school and church salifes, all the product of the brain of members of our race. The city authorities at Chicago are giving substantial support to the coming exposition, and the whole affair now has the appearance of a mammoth national semicentennial celebration. PERRY ON LAW ENFORCEMENT Brooklyn Attorney Lauds Federal Supreme Court's Recent Decision. Brooklyn—Rufus Lewis Perry, acknowledged by the legal profession in Greater New York to be one of the most learned men of the profession, makes the following comment on the recent United States supreme court decision in the grandfather clause in the laws of Maryland and Oklahoma. Attorney Perry says: By the decision of the United States supreme court in the Maryland and Oklahoma cases the man of color has come into his own again: the race has been advanced to its constitutional rights in the states south of the Mason and Dixon line. Prejudice has received its deserved rebuke and constitutional rights acknowledged. The cry of "Watchman, what of the night?" has for its answer, "All is well." Political assemblies have been taught that they cannot legislate a destruction of the fifteenth amendment of the constitution, nor can local judicial decree tarnish the glory of its existence. By sound principles of law the United States has decreed we have a republic at last. The agents who worked for this good do not exist in the national atmosphere alone, but rather the international. The season of discontent, the European war and its effect on us; the social unrest, the progress of the race in thought and genius and its rise and progress in the last fifty years; the necessity of a common understanding be- EQUAL RIGHTS IN FRANCE. The Diagas Bill Gives Military Privileges to All Alike. Paris.-The chamber of deputies in this city has three colored deputies representing the colonies from which they are sent by the suffrage of their fellow citizens. A dispatch from Paris recently says that the race and color question that was raised in the French chamber of deputies by the bill of the Negro deputy. M. Diagae, representing Senegal, providing for the extension of general compulsory military service in France to colonial municipalities whose inhabitants enjoy French citizenship, was presented in numerous new lights and complications at the session of the chamber. The question of how to apportion a pension in cases of polygamist Senegalese leaving several widows proved a poser for the deputies. The minister of war and the military committee of the chamber approved the general provisions of the Diagne bill, which provide for the incorporation with the regular French forces of the Senegalese subject to compulsory service. The action of the committee was immediately attacked by Deputy Labrone, who pictured the difficulties arising from the presence in the French army of soldiers unable to speak French and of different religion and social customs. Deputy Labroure also raised the question of confusion in the payment of pensions to the widows of polygamous Senegalese. He proposed an amendment providing for the incorporation of such troops in native regiments entitled to pensions and the other rights of French citizens. The speaker was frequently interrupted by protests from the Negro Deputies Diagne, Lagrosilliere of Martinique and Candace and Bolsneuf of Guadeloupe, Lagrosilliere crying amid frantic applause, "Our fellow citizens ask only to be allowed to serve the mother country, for which they already have poured out their blood." Paul Deschanel, president of the chamber, was forced to quell the tumult by declaring that the entire chamber felt "the same respect and the same love for all, whatever their race or religion, who are fighting under the folds of the tricolored flag." Deputy Labrouse insisted on the special regiments for Senegalese who do not speak French. Deputy Bolsneuf interrupted, crying, "I then demand a special regiment for Frenchmen unable to read and write." Deputy Diagne then obtained the floor and made an eloquent appeal on behalf of the blacks, reviewing the part they had played in conquering the French colonial empire. "For eleven months the Senegalese have demanded to be allowed to serve France," he said; "if they haven't been permitted to do so it is the fault of the minister of war." Deputy Diagne said that the widows of soldiers ought to receive pensions even when there were several, but he added: "Native soldiers are not as rich as the average French soldier, who is also poor and therefore has only one wife. Polygamy is a luxury of wealth." Alexandre Millerand, minister of war, said the Diagne bill seemed to meet the wishes of a majority of the colonials and urged its passage. The bill was passed without change. PRESIDENTS OF LAND GRANT COLLEGES TO MEET JULY 30 List of Topics and Speakers For Conference at Cincinnati.

This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made.

But the people, says the manager, were so determination to have the size dolls they wanted that they all replied, "We will get small big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declared that was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from seventeen to thirty-six inches.

COLOR LINE IN BASEBALL The color line, drawn so tightly around major league baseball, has barred from major leagues field one of the greatest pitchers the game has ever produced. He is John Donaldson, pitching semi-pro ball in Kansas City. He recently pitched 30 innings without allowing a hit or run—a record without a parallel. "If Donaldson were a white man, or if the unwritten law of baseball didn't ban negroes from the major leagues, I would give $50,000 for him, and think I was getting a bargain," said John McGraw of the Giants, after seeing Donaldson pitch several games in Cuba. Donaldson, just before establishing his record of 30 innings without being hit, struck out 25 men in a 12-inning game—an average of better than two strikeouts per inning. Donaldson just now is twirling for the All-Nationals, a Kansas City team composed or players of all nations and an outfit that baseball sharps claim is string enough to give any major league club a nip-and-tuck battle.

ODD FELLOWS HEAD QUARTERS The committee for entertaining the visitors, with headquarters elaborately fitted up in Suite 96, Bacon Block, blows up and the secretary resigns, takes away the paraphernali and decorations. Col. Dumar Jones, ex-District Grand Secretary, Past Grand Master and Most Venerable Patriarch resigns from the committee; Attorney George Ingraham, ex-District Grand Chairman, chairman of the committee, threatens to quit work. He will happened suddenly and over the appointment of one of Col. Jones' daughters as stenographer at the headquarters. Mrs. Capt. Shorey, District Grand Master Most Noble Governor of the Household of Ruth, it is said, desired to have her little daughter placed as stenographer in the headquarters. Now little Miss Shorey graduated recently with a fast record and with high honors, being one of the fastest stenographers in her class, and Mrs. Capt. Shorey most noteworthy desired to see her girl placed in this position, not only for the money but for the honor as well, but it is said that Chairman Ingraham had already appointed Miss Jones, and then the war began and threatenings are heard all through the Household of Ruth clammering for a juvenile girl as stenographer, one that belongs to us, as some put it, one that belongs to the race and knows it and associates with negroes, others echoed. Loud and plaintive were these responses until they at last were hurled right square in the face of Brother Jones, who claims to be a Negro and a dear lover of his race and proud of it. The West Indian Aid Association asks all persons who intend to exhibit any original work at their picnic and free barbecue on Monday, August 2d, at Shellmound Park, to send their names to the secretary.

New York—The annual meeting of the Tuskegee institute board of trustees was held recently at the rooms of the General Education Board, New York. Mr. William G. Willcox of Willcox, Peck & Hughes, treasurer of the investment committee, presided in the absence of Hon. Seth Low, chairman of the board of trustees. Those present at the meeting were Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago; Mr. Frank Trumbull, chairman of the board of directors of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad; Mr. E. A. Bancroft, general counsel of the International Harvester company, Chicago; Mr. Charles E. Mason, Boston; Mr. C. W. Hare, editor Tuskegee News, Tuskegee Ala.; Mr. R. O. Simpson, Furman, Ala.; Mr. William M. Scott of the Cutter Electrical company, Philadelphia, and the following additional trustees and officers of the institute—namely, Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal; Mr. Warren L. Washington, treasurer; Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary; Mr. Charles H. Gibson, chief accountant; Mr. A. J. Willborn, Tuskegee, Ala.; Mr. R. R. Taylor, director of mechanical industries. Invitations were extended to Hon. J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn.; Maxion R. B. Moton of the Hampton Institute, Virginia, and Mr. W. J. Edwards, principal of the Snow Hill institute, Snow Hill, Ala., to sit with the trustees during their deliberations. Dr. Washington's annual report was the chief incident at the meeting. He reported an enrollment during the year of 1,537 students from thirty-two states and territories, ninety-six of these coming from nineteen foreign countries or colonies of foreign countries. Dr. Washington reported the total receipts during the year from all sources for current expenses, buildings and improvements, endowment fund and from undesignated legacies, a total of $37,708.83. The endowment fund of the school is now $1,970,214. A particular reason for rejoicing at the meeting was a report made showing that practically $100,000 has been raised for the modern steam heating and power plant which was recently completed at Tuskegee at a cost of $274,000 in addition to the money also raised for current expenses. When the trustees met last February for their midwinter meeting at Tuskegee there was due to be raised to complete payment on the steam heating and power plant $07,520. A systematic campaign was put under way to raise this money, and during the month of June the whole country had been divided into five parts and had been effectively canvassed. When the trustees met in June the report was made that the amount needed for the steam and power plant had been oversubscribed, two of the trustees alone raising their individual gifts of $10,000 to $12,500 each. The budget for the next fiscal year calls for an expenditure of $291,567. RELIGIOUS WORKERS SHOW SPIRIT OF BROTHERHOOD World's Christian Endeavor Society on Side of Golden Rule. The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch gives the following account of what happened at one session of the recent World's Christian Endeavor convention recently held in Chicago. It says: Moved by speeches of men prominent in church and business life of the south, 300 southern men and women, delegates to the World's Christian Endeavor convention, in session at Chicago, acknowledged brotherhood with the Negro race and determined to extend to it the hand of fellowship. Out of this idea is to grow the southern extension committee of the Christian Endeavor, which the Rev. Ira Landreth of Nashville, Tenn., calls the beginning of the interdenominational union of the colored people. "We are going to take the Christian Endeavor into the Negro churches," said Dr. Landreth, "organize new societies and help millions of blacks to enlightenment. God has placed at our door the greatest opportunity for Christian work that ever came to any missionaries anywhere." "Until the men rise up and say, 'I will not kill,' nations will war with one another," according to Daniel A. Polling, citizenship superintendent of the United Society of the Christian Endeavor. He declared that neither arbitration treaties nor neutrality agreements will bring everlasting and universal peace. "The message of the Christian Endeavor is patriotic," said Mr. Polling. "The patriotism of Christian Endeavor is practical, and addresses itself to the foes of the state. "These foes are intemperance and war. Against them the young people's movement hurls the flower of the world, the youth of the kingdom. Christian Endeavor can and will enroll millions of young people from all sects, colors and nationalities in the peace union which was the vision of President Clark. These millions will proclaim the fulfilment of the sixth commandment. These will declare 'I will not kill.'" For the benefit of those who may not know it, we will state that the Christian Endeavor society work is no new thing; the colored people. The work of the organization is strong in the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches and some other denominations. It is not a popular with the Baptist Communion. The chief religious feature among Baptists, aside from the church and Sunday school for young people, is the Baptist young people's union.
