Threatened dissension among members of the Drama League because Charles Gilpin, the Negro actor in "The Emperor Jones," had been invited to the annual dinner, evidently failed to materialize, for the dinner held Sunday night, March 6, at the Hotel McAlpin, was one of the most successful in the history of the league insofar as attendance was concerned. If any members refused to attend because of the presence of the black actor, it was not apparent, for the number on hand was so large it became necessary to place twenty additional tables in the ball room adjoining the main banquet hall where the dinner proper was held. More than 600 members and their friends appeared and Gilpin himself put an end to all speculation as to whether he would be on hand by appearing at 7 o'clock, one of the first of those honored by the league to arrive. He was cordially greeted on all sides, and was scaled between Lee Simonson, who was honored as a scenic artist for his work in "Heartbreak House," and Gilda Varest, honored for her work as an actress and as co-author of "Enter, Madame." Miss Varesi was one of the stanchest defenders of Mr. Gilpin as an artist entitled to receive recognition. She had telegrammed the league during the discussion that she would be proud to sit next to him and deplored doing American art a wrong by excluding him. When his turn came to speak he was greeted with a storm of hand-clapping JURY DISAGREES IN McCLURE SUIT Case Tried Before Judge Fitzgerald Who Instructs Jury to Find For Plaintiff and Assess Amount of Damages—Cannot Agree Upon All Persons Who Should Pay Damages Case Will Be Retried McCLURES' CHARACTER CLEAR After deliberating for twenty-seven hours the jury disagreed in the $25,000 damage suit brought by Charles McClure and wife against J. Dean Ringer, police commissioner; Marshall Eberstein, chief of police; H. L. Mossman, former city attorney; Police Officers Olaf Thestrup, John Herizina and Ed Farrell, Orkin Bros. stores and Julius Orkin, which was tried last week in this trict court before Judge Fitzgerald. The suit was brought by the McClures as the result of a raid on their home in the Kingsbury apartments at 2538 Dodge street, May 7, 1919, supposedly for liquor, but in reality for a suit of clothes, alleged to have been lost by Kenneth Trutoc, a delivery boy from Orkin Bros. store. The McClures alleged in their petition that the police officials used illegal proceedings, wrongfully, fraudulently and maliciously to gain access to their home by issuing a "whiskey warrant." McClure testified that after gaining access to his home or apartments, the police began inspecting articles of women's apparel, mens clothing and shoes, and that one officer looked in an empty revolver for booze, and searched shirts, camisoles, ties and hats, being careful to note even the trade marks. Some merriment was created when Officer Herdzina testified that in the thoroughness of his search he looked under the bed, when subsequent testimony showed that it was a Murphy-in-a-door bed. Attorneys Lynch and Murphy, retained by the McClures, demanded that the search warrant be produced. Attorney H. L. Mossman, after some delay, produced it. Judge Fitzgerald ruled that the warrant was illegal on the face of it. Officer Olaf Thestrup testified that the warrant came from SLOGAN: THE MONITOR and some cheering which quite ellipsoid that accorded Dudley Digges, Glida Varesi, Lionel Atwill, Margaret Severn and others who preceded him. And the artists who had spoken first did their best to make his greeting the most hearty. Kenneth McGowan, dramatic critic acted as toastmaster. In introducing Mr. Gilpin he briefly reviewed the actor's work and said: "I take pleasure in introducing the greatest actor of his race, Mr. Charles S. Gilpin." The applause greeting this introduction was enthusiastic and lasted for fully three minutes. The star of "Emperor Jones" was visibly affected by such a rousing ovation, and said: "This is one time when I am hardly able to go through with a monologue, and they say I do a pretty good one. There is a fancy among the Orientales, you know, that the dead must cross a bridge of red-hot iron, and that is the way I feel. In facing an audience of this kind I feel as nervous as a girl. "An artist, I always thought, was something a long, long way off. I never expected to reach that height, but you have called me that. I am so glad, if I have given you an evening of pleasure, and I am happy to be among you and have you know my work." Mr. Gilpin concluded his remarks by promising to try to make his work stand out as prominently in the future. When he sat down the applause was even greater than at his introduction, and he was forced to bow several times. John Dunn, the then chief of detectives. Mr. Ringer and Chief Eberstein also stated that such warrants came from John Dunn. The attorneys for the plaintiffs called John Dunn to the stand, who testified that he had never issued the warrant or given any order for searching McClure's home. Several character witnesses were introduced for the McClures. Mrs. McClure made a good witness and was complimented for the clearness and directness of her testimony. Judge Fitzgerald instructed the jury to return a verdict for the plaintiffs, informing them that their only duty was to nix the amount of damages and name the defendants against whom the damages should be assessed. The trial was begun Tuesday and the case was given to the jury at 10:30 Friday morning. At noon Saturday the jury was dismissed, being agreed as to the amount of damages; but being unable to agree as to the principals against whom the damages should be assessed. The case, it is stated, will be retried. (By The Associated Negro Press) BEAUMONT, Texas., March 17.—Rather than be burned to death Monroe Gilder shot and killed himself.

The guardsmen are expected to arrive before 1 o'clock. The crowd assembled quickly after it became known a man had shot Patrolman Joseph Ryan when he and a fellow policeman had tried to disperse another crowd a short distance from the police station. A youth was arrested a short time afterward, but police are keeping his whereabouts secret. BULLETIN SPRINGFIELD, March 11. —Patrolman Joseph Ryan was shot tonight by a man whom he was searching. The bullet struck Ryan in the breast. His condition is serious. Two machine gun companies of the national guard of Springfield, comprising about forty men, were ordered out following the shooting of Ryan. COLUMBUS, O., March 11.—Four companies of infantry, national guard troops, were tonight under orders to hold themselves in readiness to leave upon a moment's notice for Spring-field, to assist authorities there in quelling a riot. This afternoon Adj. Gen. George Florence received a telephone communication from City Manager Parsons, asking that troops be sent. He immediately dispatched Asst. Adjt. Gen. Harry C. Horner, and Capt. Raymand L. Chesdeline of London, O., to view the situation and make a personal report. These officers at 8:10 this evening reported there were fifty-two policemen and some city firemen available. The adjutant general at 7:50 p. m. telephoned Sheriff David Jones and informed him it would be necessary for him to make a telegraphic request before troops could be sent. The city manager under the law cannot ask for troops. The request must come from a sheriff, judge or a magistrate. Adj. Gen. Florence directed the sheriff to take every precaution and to exert every possible effort before requesting troops. Sought Troops at Once The sheriff informed the adjutant Every Home general that he wanted the troops sent immediately. Two machine gun companies in Springfield under Maj. Arthur B. Bland are being held in its armory in readiness. THE Monitor desires to call attention to the above article which is reproduced verbatim, headlines and all, from the Cleveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer. We wonder if there is anything in it that strikes our readers as remarkable. Please notice that there is no mention whatsoever of the race of the man who shot Patrolman Ryan; nor any reference to the racial composition of the crowds. The Associated Press dispatches gave prominence to the fact that "a negro" shot the police officer, when he was seeking to "disperse a crowd of negroes;" and that had feeling had been caused by "the attack upon an eleven-year-old girl by an unknown negro." The press throughout the country carried the Associated Press dispatches, and with a few notable exceptions played up strong "Negro," "White" and "Race Riot" in their headlines. When everything should be done to promote good will among America's polygeneous and pollingual population, and bring harmony among the races, we submit the policy of the Cleveland Plain Dealer which, by the way, is a democratic newspaper, as an example of how newspapers may help bring this harmony and goodwill to pass, instead of intensifying race hatred and fomenting strife by stressing race rather than crime which is so generally their policy. We commend the example of the Plain Dealer to the Omaha Daily News, the Omaha Bee, which offend greatly in this respect, and also to the World-Herald, which is a less grievous offender in this matter. We thank the Plain Dealer for adopting this wise, just, and pacific policy in reporting news of this character. MRS. HURBARD DIES (National Negro Press Association Service) NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 16. Mrs. George Q. Hubbard died at 7:30 today. The funeral was held in the Meharry auditorium Thursday, March 17, with Dr. Tillett, dean of Vanderbilt University, in charge. Mrs. Hubbard was 84 years old and had been in the South fifty years. Her husband recently retired as president of Meharry Medical College. She passed away on the eve of entering a home which is being built by Meharry alumni.

PRESIDENT KING HEADS THE COMMISSION Chief Executive Tells Purposes for Which Loan Will Be Used—Program of Industrial Development Has Been Outlined by the Government Which Embraces the Opening of the Interior of the Country, Which Is Rich in Natural Resources—Railroads, Telegraph and Telephone Facilities to Be Put in Operation. NEW YORK, March 17.—A party of distinguished Liberian citizens reached New York on Sunday, March 6, on board the liner Panhandle State. It was headed by Charles D. B. King, president of Liberia, and he was accompanied by F. E. R. Johnson, associate justice of the supreme court of Liberia; John L. Morris, former secretary of the treasury of Liberia, and Gabriel L. Dennis, secretary of the delegation. The party was met at quarantine by a representative of the department of state of the United States, the Liberian minister and the Liberian consul-general, and were escorted to the Waldorf-Astoria. The commission is visiting the United States to take up with the administration at Washington the final negotiations for a loan of $5,000,000 from this country to the African republic, which was granted in 1918, but which has been hanging five ever since because of the unfair financial conditions which the Wilson administration sought to impose. "The loan is to be used for the purpose of putting into immediate operation a program of industrial development, desired by the government and the people of the republic," said President King. "One of our principal aims is to open up the interior of the country, which is rich in natural resources. Other improvements are projected, such as the construction of motor roads and railways, telephone and telegraphic facilities and industrial schools. To Increase Exports With the development of the interior of Liberia, which is about as large as Ohio, the country, according to the commission, will be in a position to increase greatly its exports, consisting of ivory, coffee, oils and pliasia brush. Liberia also, said Mr. Johnson, hopes to develop its trade with this country, from which she now receives foodstuffs, in particular. Liberia lives in a state of contentment and peace, untroubled by revolutions of the type which beset other With President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes now holding the reins of governmental control, President King is hopeful that the protracted negotiations will now be brought to an early and mutually satisfactory conclusion. CONSTRUCTIVE ENTERPRISES Block Fourteen on North Twenty- Fourth Street Contains a Dozen or More Business Establishments Conducted Mainly by Recent Migrants from the Southland Block thirteen on North Twenty-fourth, we learned last week, was the pioneer block for business ventures of our race. Although this is true, block fourteen, located between Paul and Charles street, has out-rivaled and far surpassed it in the number and variety of its business. For a number of years there was a small lunch room on the northeast corner of Twenty-fourth and Paul streets. This was the lone business place operated by colored people in this block for many years. It did a thriving business. General Scott was the proprietor for a long time. Some months ago it changed hands and is now known as Hall's lunch room. A little over two years ago, this lunch room began to have company. A large number of people who had come from Brewton, Ala., and parts adjacent, began opening up other lines of business in this block. A man by the name of Robbins opened a grocery store; S. W. Mills opened a furniture store; W. M. Franklin, a real furniture store; and so it went, until nearly every building on the east side of Twenty-fourth street between Paul and Charles, houses some line of business operated by colored people. There is about a dozen business places in the block, and strange to relate, as evidence of our promise to minister to stomachs the block begins and ends with a restaurant. Not only so, there is one in the middle of the block. This however, can be said of these places, they are neat and clean and well kept, and there are no loafers hanging around any of these business places, which, as candor compels us to state is a drawback to so many business places conducted by our people. Now these are the business enterprises in this block: Hall's Lunch room, Chicago Cafe, Montgomery & Company grocers, successors to H. R. Robbins & Co.; Cloverleaf Cafe, Benjamin & Thomas' shoe repairing shop, well equipped with up-to-date machinery; Eureka Furniture store, John Robbins proprietor, carrying a splendid stock of furniture; Graham tailor shop, with the proprietor always industriously on the job; S. W. Mills, real estate and new and second-hand furniture, and LIFTING. LIFT, TOO!

On the west side of the street in the same block a young man, whose name escapes us, runs a shoe-shining parlor. It is from ventures of this kind that large business enterprises develop.

Scores of children with their parents’ consent have ‘opened these accounts. Each week on a stated day the child takes his few pennies or dimes or whatever the amount may be to school and the ‘amount is duly entered in his or her passbook. This is teaching thrift. Habits formed in early childhood per- sist. The children who are taught to save regularly now will know the valve of a bank account when they get older. The fault with us, as a people, is that we have never iearned to save. We are great spenders. This is an Amer- jean trait, not necessarily racial trait. We have not been taught to save as children and when we reached adult years it has been exceedingly difficult to acquire the saving habit. If your child has not opened a sehool savings account have him do so at ‘once. School rivalry stimulates the saving habit. And while your ehild is saving, get into the habit of saving a little regularly weekly yourself, KEEPING YOUR HEAD f PRISE 20 Se ee to keep our heads and tempers.

The New York “Drama League” gives an honorary dinner to “the ten best” each year. This dinner is to be given at the Hotel McAlpin on March 6th. Well, as often happens, the “directors” of the League decided not to invite the Negro, although he was not merely ‘one of the “ten best” but one of the three or four best, and in many minds best. The directors announced y that they would send Gilpin a * telling him how much ry! liked him and appreciated 2 his success, ete., but that he could not eat dinner with them as one o! the honored ten. And the directors, no doubt, thought they would be sup- ported in this immoral act by the other nine and the 150 or so actors who were to be invited to the dinner. But bless you! seven of the others vo 2 honored and scores of those wh) are to do the honoring have bravely announced in the press that they will not go to this dinner if Gilpin is not Be __ In the name of Christ, let the Y. W. C. A. sisters take notice and be ashamed. The Y.

They went in and enjoyed their own coffee, and some even boasted of the insult an/ slight of the colored women. In sober earnestness we ask, how ‘many white preachers will stay away |when a similar insult is offered to « ‘colored preacher? An example in Christianity has been set for these ‘preachers by Mary Garden, Gilds Varesi, Dudley, Digges, Jacob Ben: Ami, and a host of other stage people: By the way, Ben-Ami is featuring |“Samson and Delilah.” I have hear¢ |preachers preach on that subject, bu I would certainly be more impresse ‘by an actor who “acts” as Ben-Ain has acted in this ease. | That slimy thing called color preju: dice and race hatred, may infect the Y.

PRESCRIPTIONS OUR SPECIALTY. 18th and Farnam Streets, Omaha, Nebraska ‘the administration of the twenty: eighth president has been woefuliy hesitating and weak in its application of principles to the inexorable exi- gencies of the flux and flood of present-day social inclination. A dis- tinct temper of internationalism—the internationalism which brings wider acquaintance with the customs, qual- ities of character and social stamina of the scattered varieties of social or- ganizations throughout the world— has come within the range of our life experience and we are fluttering and fuming in a frantic search for solu- tions. Mr, Wilson has not illumined our pathway. I dare not question his ability to do so but, certainly, I have an anguestioned right to point to his failure in this connection. Failure, however, is not always an unfailing sign of non-achievement. Peschance the times were not as ripe for action as they were for preachment. If so, Mr. Wilson was fully justified in leav- ing the nation’s “race problem” pre- cisely where he found it—unsolved, tantalizing and strife-provoking. Jt is a real pity that we can not disso- ciate the “race problem” from the na- tional problem. For, as. stressingly impressive as the world’s social prob- lems stand in our presence, we can not escape the equally impressive fact that we must be nationally sound and com- pact before we can safely take on th. responsibilities of binding -interna: tional relationships. An_ intelligent, progressive Negro citizenry in the tate of Georgia is more clearly re- lated to the healthy development oi ee neriean ideals than improbable re- lief for Christian Armenia from the ‘unprintable barbarities of Mobam- medon Turkey. Mr, Wilson was ad- mittedly incapable of lifting himsel/i out of the narrower restrictions of the American social interpretation of the ‘organic impulses of the purposes o! ‘democracy. Hence, as a statesman, ‘he wes a failure. This estimate car not be accepted, justly, as final. Yet the temptation is very strong to re member that the largest figure in the history of the republic—Lineoln— ‘holds firmly to his high place beeause his fame rests on the bedrock of social ‘emancipation—the very soul of th« ‘truest being of democracy. However may I not add my extreme desire that Woodrow Wilson's last days may be / his best and his longest? LINCOLN, NEB.

BLACK Successor to Pease-Black 1417 Farnam St. MARCUS Announce W. P. E. A. BULLETIN The Strike of the Colored Waiters at The Omaha Athletic Club Late in September, 1915, eleven Omaha waiters, who depended largely upon extra work in hotels, met and decided upon unity, and they refused to affiliate with organized labor because of the following points: 1. There was a local union of white waiters in Omaha who refused to admit colored waiters or work with them. 2. Any hotel where white union waiters worked, colored men were not employed. 3. Whatever meant success for white waiters was failure for the colored and vice versa. Their interest was antagonistic and competitive from the outset, and affiliation could only be a mockery so pronounced as to be an insult to the intelligence of well-thinking men. The following May, 1916, they organized the Waiters' Protective and Employment Association, with headquarters and meeting rooms at the Warden hotel, 817 North Sixteenth street. Their membership increased rapidly and their officers were enthusiastic. Where men had worked extra for regular men's pay, they now demand and receive $3 per day. Men formerly receiving 50 cents a meal at the Commercial Club asked for and received -1 per meal. The association furnished the Blackstone hotel with its first colored crew, who displaced the white crew. When the Athletic Club was built, Mr. Gray, the prospective head waiter, consulted the association three consecutive times, this being the strongest organization of colored waiters of Omaha and Lincoln at that time. The terms under which the Athletic club was to handle its waiters were arranged at these meetings. With the highest wages, best working conditions and more choice of employment than any other city in the country, Omaha soon became the haven of colored waiters. Every request made by them of their employers was readily conceded. Why? Because they were a recognized power. The result of this was that they became imbued with such a feeling of security that since October, 1920, they have discussed the advisability of disbanding the association, and the climax came at their mass meeting on January 15, 1921, when some of the members decided that the services of the association were no longer necessary and less than fifty days after they had decided to disband their organization, leaving the obligations on the shoulders of its officers, the Athletic Club decided to cut the waiters' wages. Consequently the waiters walked out March 6. Who will fight their battles now? The officers of this association are anxious to imitate our Savian and we say like him. "Tho you sin seven times seventy and then some you are yet our brethren and we will forgive you." You cannot win this fight alone, so let us win it together If the Athletic Club beats you in this, the hotels and railroads will do likewise, and so we advise you to call at our headquarters, rooms 2 and 4, Kaffir block (Tyler 1990), and reinstate yourselves before it is too late.
