Large Audience 1.1.1 Pilgrim Baptist Church and Part.1.2.3 in Well Prepared Program 1.1.4 Speeches and Music ONLY ONE DISCORDANT NOTE Boston Crowd Led by Attucks in Attack on British Soldiers Rioters, Not Patriots, Declares the Closing Speaker Declaring that "a fair, impartial and dispassionate view of the plain facts of history clearly showed that the Boston crowd, led by Crispus Attucks, in their attack on the British soldiers, March 5, 1770, were, if one would speak truthfully, rioters and not patriots," Rev. John Albert Williams struck the only discordant note that in any way jarred the enthusiastic patriotic sentiment of the large audience which packed Pilgrim Church Sunday afternoon for the observance of Crispus Attucks' Day. This statement coming at the close of a series of brilliant eulogistic addresses, laudatory of the colonists and denunciatory of the tyranny of the British, was manifestly disappointing to the audience. Father Williams said he favored the observance of historic days, but that in doing so, the facts of history should be kept straight. Americans cast a halo of glory upon revolutionary days and the events leading up to the conflict which gave birth to the American nation, chief among which events was the riot in which Attucks and his companions lost their lives, but it was a riot, just the same, one of many which had occurred in Boston since the Stamp Act. Attucks and the crowd he led, egged on by "higher ups," attacked the soldiers who were compelled to fire in self-defense, and that is how "the first blood of the American Revolution was shed," which event Boston records in tablet and monument. Nor is it without significance that the first blood to be shed was that of a Negro. While this is true the fact remains that a fair, impartial and dispassionate view of the plain facts of history clearly show that the Boston Crowd, led by Crispus Attucks, in their attack on the British soldiers, March 5, 1770, were, if one would speak truthfully, rioters and not patriots." This heresy to American patrotism while it jarred the audience did not seriously mar the well-arranged program, as prepared by Mrs. J. Alice Stewart, chairman of the local committee of arrangements, as published in last week's Monitor, which was carried out, with only slight variation. "America" was sung by the audience and was followed by an invocation by the Rev. W. F. Botts. The chairman, Dr. W. W. Peebles, commander of the Theodore Roosevelt Post of the American Legion, was introduced by the chairman of the local committee. He spoke briefly of the purpose of the day's observance and announced his determination to keep all speakers rigidly within the limits of their time. The first speaker was the Rev. T. F. Saunders, pastor of the Grove M. E. church, who emphasized and amplified the thought that the shot that was fired at Lexington in 1775 and heard round the world, was made possible by the martyrdom of Attucks, five years earlier, and that therefore all Americans should venerate his memory. All Negroes should be proud that Attucks died for American liberty in resisting British tyranny. The Rev. Russell Taylor, pastor of St. Paul's Presbyterian, in well chosen words stressed the point that the day's observation was more to commemorate the spirit in which the deed was done, then he who did the deed. That God had planted in the heart of the black man as well as in the heart of the white man a love for liberty. That there was a common bond between the descendants of those who came over in the Mayflower and those who were brought in a slave ship from Africa. Descendants of each fought for liberty on bleak New England shores. Miss Gertrude Lucas read an excellent paper on the necessity of holding up ideals before the young. The Rev. Mr. Lawrence, pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist church, who is a British subject, gave a most pleasing address after a personal word in which he referred to his British citizenship, and said that "you were then my country's enemy, but being a black man, when a notable deed is wrought by a black man anywhere, I rejoice at it." He then pointed out that when God had appointed the time for the appearance of the American nation, as prophesied in Scripture, that nation appeared THE MONITOR and that Attucks had been chosen with others to help bring this to pass. Attorney H. J. Pinkett proudly referred to the fact that his grandfather had fought in the Revolutionary war, that his father had fought in the war of the Rebellion, and that he himself had fought in the World War to maintain those principles of democracy for which Attucks had died when the colonists resisted the tyranny of George the Third. He stressed the fact that black men had always been willing to die for liberty. Miss Emma Mitchell read a paper on the life of Crispus Attucks which is published elsewhere in this issue. Miss Frankie B. Watkins read Paul Revere's Ride by Longfellow. Vocal numbers were contributed by Rufus W. Long, H. L. Preston, both overseas soldiers, the former singing "The Rosary," and the latter, "Hold Thou My Hand"; and by Mess rs Russell, Jr., William and Elbert Taylor, Mrs. R. Taylor, Miss Theodocia Taylor and Mrs. Grace Hutten, who as a mixed chorus sang "We Still Love Dear Old Glory." Miss Hazel Roulette gave a piano selection and the Odd Fellows Band, Prof. J. W. Waddell, director, furnished two numbers. The Crispus Attucks Red Cross chapter sang effectively a parody on "America," the words of which are published elsewhere in this issue.

HOLD NATION-WIDE MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR COLONEL YOUNG Sunday Will be Marked Throughout the Country by Appropriate Services For Gallant Soldier Who Died in Africa PERSHING WRITES MESSAGE (Associated Negro Press) (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D.C., March 10.—Sunday, March 12, from Crispus Attuck's monument in Boston, to the Golden Gate in San Francisco; from the lake washed shores of Chicago to the rice swamps of Florida, homage will be paid to the memory of Colonel Charles Young. There has never been, in the history of the race, a more spontaneous awakening to an act of appreciation. The mingled emotions of sorrow and determination will be released from the hearts of a mighty people, and centered about the cherished memory of a fallen hero. At the close of all the services, audiences will stand with their faces to the East, while a bugler sounds the solemn notes of taps. There will be farewell to Charles Young, but with it will be a reedication to the ideals of justice for which he lived and died. There has been expressed the desire of the family of Colonel Young that at some later date the body should be brought to America. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who was a close friend of the late Colonel, has just returned to New York, where he conferred with Mrs. Young and the Colonel's mother. Captain Henry O. Atwood, who was with the Colonel in his last days, has just returned from Wilberforce, where he performed the solemn duty of taking the last words of the departed to the beloved wife and mother.

CHARLES YOUNG (Associated Negro Press.) GENERAL PERSHING'S TRIBUTE TO COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG GENERAL OF THE ARMIES, WASHINGTON In connection with the Memorial Services which are being held to honor the memory of the late Colonel Charles Young, I wish to commend his exemplary life as a splendid example to the other members of his race. Colonel Young was a man of proven integrity who rose to high rank in the service of his country. By close application to duty he achieved success and won the respect of his fellow army officers. His career in the army of the United States should ever be an inspiration to his people. (Signed) JOHN J. PERSHING. COLORED WOMAN IS NOTICED AMID THE CROWD AT VATICAN A Leading Newspaper of Rome Classe Mrs. Leila Walker Wilson Among The Leading Personages Present. RECEIVES PAPAL BLESSING Among Throng When Plus XI Appear Upon Balcony to Give Benediction. —“La Tribuna” Impressed With American “Queen.” .. (Special to the Monitor) Rome, Italy, March 1.—From Lenox Avenue to St. Peter's Square is no mean distance for one to travel. At the one end, scores of representatives of a darker race may be seen moving to and fro about their business, in and out their homes and shops, contributing their mite to making New York the nation's busiest city. Rome, Italy, with St. Peter's Square, the other end, is without the thousands of members of the Negro race. At least, representatives of this growing group are not often found within the confines of the holy city. True, that now and then black faces are numbered among the myriad complexions that pass before the Vatican. Even black men have enjoyed the splendors of ancient Rome, the quaint canals of Venice, and the picturesque Naples Bay, perchance, basked in Italian sunlight and endured the horrors of Vesuvius eruptions, but as a usual thing Italy, Rome, and St. Peter's Square, which fronts St. Peter's Cathedral, are without representatives of the Negro race, and surely without him from the U. S. A. In fact, they are curiosities, and their very presence provokes incessant observation, stares and undue curiosity, which interrogates—where are you from? Italians marvel but little at black faces in costume characteristic of the tropics, the Orient and the like, but as Occidentals, fine appearing, and in fashion's latest mode they are the center of the stage. To believe that the American Negro was represented and is to be numbered among the crowd of thirty thousand that clamored before ancient St. Peter's Cathedral for reports on the election of the new Pope of the Roman Catholic church is almost preposterous, and to dream that this people would receive the first hand blessings of Plus XI OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1922. thru a daughter of their race is almost without reality. But it is not so, neither preposterous nor without reality, for Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson, American Negro and wealthy resident of Irvington-on-Hudson, New York, was sojourning in Rome during the election of Pope Piux XI and was noted among the crowd which received his blessings. The following clipping, taken from "La Tribuna," leading morning daily of Rome, Italy, numbers Mrs. Wilson among the cosmopolitan assemblage which waited with sacred patience for the returns of the papal election. "St. Peter's, Rome, today took on the aspect of a Social International Congress of Nations. It is of course more tranquil and more serious than the International Congress at Geneva. Notables of all nations and from all countries thronged the concourse of the Piazza San Pietro. And we could not fail to regard in our inventory of those present, as the most prominent among the vast throng, Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson of New York, Balfour and Leon Bourgeois of France. Tall and slender, with a majestic figure, the divine manner and graciousness of the former invested her with the bearing of a goddess. Her somewhat sloping cheeks, a rather extended nose, and dark complexion, would have caused the ancient Greek lyricists to name her "an Ethiopian Artemis." Rising interest is shown in this young lady by the vast throng of international visitors, and her grace and bearing are the cause of much comment. One cannot help but associate her with the races of the extreme Orient, or with the no less noble Aztecs of old Mexico. The black race has truly sent us a charming representative in the person of Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson of New York. Her ancestors surely not so long ago, must have been rulers of the virgin equatorial forests between the Gulf of Guinea and Mozambique. Therefore, it goes without saying, that Mrs Wilson is assuredly a queen." Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson is the only daughter and heiress of the late Madam C. J. Walker, who died in 1919 after amassing a large fortune from the discovery and manufacture of a wonderful hair grower, which has proved a remarkable benefit to its users. Mrs. Wilson is president and owner of the company which bears her mother's name and is en route to Africa and the Far East on business for her company. Her stop in Italy is but one of many which she is making which includes France, Egypt, Spain and Liberia, where she will be the special guest of the President of that country. FOREMOST CITIZENS PETITION SENATE TO PASS THE DYER BILL FOREMOST CITIZENS PETITION SENATE TO PASS THE DYER BILL Governors, Mayors, Bishops, College Presidents, Editors and Other Influential Persons Signers of Memorial. MEMORIAL RECITES FACTS Many of the Greatest Men of Nation Are Throwing the Weight of Their Influence for Measure to Suppress Lynching. New York, March 10.—The following memorial to the United States senate was read and adopted at an anti-lynching mass meeting held by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the Town Hall, New York, on the evening of March 1, the meeting being addressed yb Senator William M. Calder of New York, Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, who introduced the Dyer anti-lynching bill in the house of representatives, by former Attorney General George W. Wickersham, and by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Memorial to the United States Senate. The killing and burning alive of human beings by mobs in the United States is a reproach upon our country throughout the civilized world and threatens organized government in the nation. Since 1889 there have been 3,443 known mob murders, sixty-four of the victims being women. In only a few instances has prosecution of the lynchers been even attempted. American mobs murdered sixty-four persons in 1921, of whom four were publicly burned at stake. The house of representatives on January 26, 1922, in response to insistent country-wide demand, passed the Dyer anti-lynching bill, which involves the power of the federal government to end the infamy of American mob murder. This bill is now in teh hands of the United States senate. The undersigned United States citizens earnestly urge its prompt enactment. Among the signers of the Memorial are the following: Governors: Thomas E. C. Campbell of Arizona, William D. Denny of Delaware, Len Small of Illinois, Warren T.

SENATOR BORAH IS STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF FEDERAL ACTION Influential Oregonian Expresses His Views on National Government Taking Stand Against Lynching CHAIRMAN SUB-COMMITTEE (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Mar. 10.—"I am convinced that the National government should step in and take a stand against the wrong of lynching." Thus spoke Senator William E. Borah, Republican of Idaho, in an interview for the Associated Negro Press. Senator Borah, by being appointed chairman of the sub-committee of the judiciary committee of the Senate, having charge of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, assumes the most outstanding position in the onward march of "Law and Order" since the days of the "Missouri Compromise." There is no question in the minds of those who have discussed the appointment of Senator Borah as chairman of this committee that will lead the fight for the anti-lynching bill, that if the Senator believes in it, there will be action. Continuing, Senator Borah said: "There are two things that I would have you tell the people of your race. First I wish to be satisfied that the law is Constitutional. I have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States; therefore I cannot ask to have a law passed that is unconstitutional. If the law, as drawn, is constitutional, I am for it. I will go even further, if there should develop in my mind a reasonable doubt as to the constitutionality, I will then support it and let the courts decide. "Second, in the matter of hearings, I think for the most part they should be directed to the constitutional phase of the subject. The hearings should not be long drawn out, I do not think that necessary; they should be brief and to the point. "The best informed persons should be agreed on for spokesmen, and besides oral statements, better still, briefs should be prepared for presentation to the committee." Asked when a date would be set for the hearings, Senator Borah replied that he could not set a date yet, but would do so at the earliest opportunity. He spoke of his interest in the pending treaties, and other measures that are before the Senate, and declared that ample announcement for the time of the hearings would be given. GOES TO WASHINGTON WITH DEVEREUX CHILDREN Mrs. H. O. Wood of 3220 Pinkney left Sunday for Washington, D. C., in charge of the children of the late Mrs. Frances Devereux, who was accidentally electrocuted in her bathroom last week. Mr. Devereux decided to take up his residence in Washington, his wife's former home, where her body was taken for burial, and the children requested that Mrs. Wood who has been with the family for over five years accompany them. She will be absent from Omaha indefinitely. Doyle A. Dungill has been detained at his home this week by trouble with his eyes. GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 347 PNEUMONIA LAST CURTAIN FOR BERT WILLIAMS, THE PREMIER COMEDIAN Popular Actor Who Collapsed on Stage at Detroit Theatre Suceumbs to Pneumonia at New York Residence. HAD A SUCCESSEFUL CAREER Grandson of Danish and Spanish Consul to the Bahamas—Reared in United States—Thousands Attend Funeral. Special to The Monitor.) New York, March 10.—Thousands were unable to gain admittance either to St. Philip's Episcopal Church in 134th street Tuesday afternoon when funeral services were held for the late Egbert Austin Williams, famous comedian, or to the spacious Masonic temple, Wednesday afternoon where Masonic burial rites were said. The Williams' residence was the mecca of hundreds, inside and outside, of the theatrical profession and of all races, from every walk of life when the news of Mr. Williams' death was announced. Floral tributes and messages poured in from all sections of the country, many messages of sympathy and condolence coming from abroad. Stricken in Detroit. Bert Williams, famous colored comedian, succumbed to pneumonia at his home here Saturday night, March 4, to which he was removed two days earlier from Detroit. He was stricken on the stage of the Garrick Theatre in the latter city during the performance Monday night, February 27, of "Under the Bamboo Tree," in which he was starred. Williams' illness caused an abrupt closing of the show. The attraction opened a scheduled week's engagement at the Garrick Theater Sunday night, February 26, with Williams working the entire performance. On Monday night he retired soon after the curtain rose on the first act. His message to the audience about being ill, however, was accepted as one of his lines until an understudy took up Williams' part. Grandson of Danish Consul. Williams, regarded by many as the best comedian on the American stage, was born at New Providence, Nassau, in the British Bahamas. His grandfather, who was white, was Danish and Spanish consul to the Bahamas, and married a quadron. The consul owned a fleet of small ships, which made money during the civil war, but this wealth was lost later in unfortunate investments in the United States. When he was two years old Frederick Williams, father of the comedian, removed to New York. Here he worked at the trade of papier-mache making, which brought him into contact with theatrical people. It was through this association that Bert as a boy made his first acquaintances among New York stage folk. From New York Frederick Williams moved to Riverside, Cal., where Bert was educated and was graduated from the Riverside High School. His aim had been to become a civil engineer. His interest in the theater always had been keen, however, and unable to resist the urge he started as a member of a little company of minstrels. From that moment he progressed steadily, winning the good will of his public and the respect of his associates. (Continued on Page 3.) TO STUDY THE CONSTITUTION (Associated Negro Press.) New York, N. Y., March 10.—A campaign to have the legislature of every state pass a bill requiring regular course of study in the Constitution of the United States in private and public schools, colleges and universities has been started by the National Security League, it was announced last week. The movement is being promoted through a committee on constitutional instruction, with membership of more than 200 of the country's leading educators. Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Vermont have such a law, the league's statement said, and as the legislatures of only six states are in session at present, it is not expected that the bill could be placed on the statute books of all states for several years. In a test taken last week in military drill and tactics by 109 non-commissioned officers and cadets of Central High school Worthington Williams, sergeant of Company B, passed with an average of 100 per cent, being the only one in the whole number to reach this high mark.

THE ASSOCIATED NICRO PRESS MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE THE curtain has been rung down. "Bert" Williams, one of the greatest comedians who ever entertained an audience, has made his last appearance on the stage. The curtain of the other life has been rung up for him and he has gone to join his companions of so many years here upon the American stage, George Walker and his talented and cultured wife, Aida Overton Walker, who before him entered into rest. Thousands mourn the death of "Bert" Williams. Those who came into close contact with him, professionally or socially, were impressed with the fact that he was a gentleman of the first rank. His career upon the American stage has done a vast deal to raise the race in the estimation of the American public. Our own acquaintance with him began many years ago, in the hey day of that brilliant company which he then headed. Noticec that they were billed to appear in Omaha, we wrote him stating that among his company there might be some Episcopalians who would enjoy the privilege of attending service; and if so, they would be given cordial welcome at St. Philip's Church. We received a courteous letter from him, regretting that our letter did not reach him until he was dressing for the matinee Sunday afternoon, or he and his wife would have arranged to come. He wrote in part: "I am deeply touched by your courteous letter, for I have been in the 'show business' now for eight years and you are the first minister of any kind who has ever invited me to go to church or seemed to think that show people had souls worth saving. You will doubtless be pleased to know that both my wife and I are Episcopalians and that I have a half-brother who is in the priesthood, the Rev. Richard Bright, rector of St. Stephen's, Savannah, Ga., whom you may know." Our friendship has lasted through the years and we with others mourn his sudden taking off. He played his part well and has left an honored name among those who have adorned the American stage. WHAT DO NAMES MEAN? THAT depends upon the personages which they represent. If those who bear them are persons of character, ability and influence, names mean a vast deal. In this connection attention is called to the influential names of men and women, not only of national, but international renown who have signed the memorial petitioning the United States Senate to READ THIS AGAIN.

The Monitor departs from it usual custom in publishing this rather long list of names, which contains only part of a long list of America's foremost citizens who have signed it, because we believe it will be advantageous to let our readers know the type of American citizens who believe that the anti-lynching measure, recently passed by the Hause of Representatives and now before the United States Senate, will prove remedial in freeing America from mob murder, a crime which all law-abiding citizens deplore. Any cause that can enlist the influence of such a number of prominent citizens of the republic representing such a wide sweep of interests and activities must be a worthy and vitally important one. It augurs well for the success of the measure, in which our people are vitally interested because we are so largely the unfortunate victims of mobs; but our interest is overshadowed by the responsibility which rests upon all the citizens of the United States to see that the orderly processes of the law are maintained, for only so can this nation endure. The fact that citizens of this type are willing to lend the weight of their names and influence to this measure shows that they realize this grave responsibility. AGREES WITH STARR. EVIDENTLY that reporter on "La Tribuna," Rome, Italy, agrees with Professor Starr of the Chicago University that colored women are the most beautiful in the world, if one is to judge by his description of Mrs. Leila Walker Wilson, whose presence he noted among the hundreds of thousands in the throng before the Vatican. He waxes eloquent in describing her. Greek lyricists would style her "An Ethiopian Artemis." It is conceded by all who know her that Mrs. Wilson is a charming woman, her gracious manner not being the least of her charms, but that Roman reporter seems to have been most wonderfully impressed. He doubles himself backwards in his efforts to describe the charms of this American daughter of the sun.

American Relief Workers Are Finding Constantinople City of Distress. IS DAILY GROWING WORSE City Teems With Refugees in Such Great Numbers That All Cannot Possibly Be Looked After—Children Cared For. New York.—As warfare and petty tribal conflicts in the Near East continue, American relief workers are finding Constantinople a city of distress, where conditions daily grow worse as new refugees wander hopelessly in on the endless—and usually vain—quest for food. Returning members of the overseas personnel of the Near East relief all bring back the same story of misery. These are supplemented by the letters and periodical reports of relief agents on the field. Situation Is Desperate. Situation When the evacuation of the French from Clichia and the consequent flight of the Armenians and other portions of the native Christian population, the situation threatens to become one that the imagination recalls at picturing. "Constantinople already teems with refugees in such great numbers that all cannot possibly be looked after," writes Mrs. Jeanette W. Emrich, a member of the relief unit in the Ottoman capital, who previously had wide experience as a missionary. "Now the people of Clichia are coming to us. We simply will not be able to care for them. How terrible the need is in spite of all that America has sent us would be hard to make any one understand who has not been here. The weather is bitterly cold and each day brings its fresh stream of misery. "Yet there are also encouraging things—the gratitude of a group of Armenian mothers, last week, when old clothes from America were distributed among them. One mother said, as she held out the few garments given her: 'I could never have bought these, as they would have cost some ilras. Just the same, I want to give something. I can only give a meldl'-or about 10 cents; all I can give, I want to give.' And each woman present did the same. Out of their dire poverty they gave some 12 ilras—about $8—and, since this is a country with free education, we need the money to put additional children into school. Clothes for Children. Clothes for Children. "At present we are distributing these old American clothes among 5,000 children. They have no fathers, these having been killed in the war or deportations; but they have mothers or grandmothers. The mother scrubs, sews, works in a restaurant—anything to keep a home together, which home consists of one mean room renting for a dollar or so monthly. These wretched families are scattered through 42 sections of this great city, and embrace six nationalities—Armenians, Greeks, Jews, Syrians, Chaldeans and Turks. The Near East relief cannot support them—it must look after its orphanages—but it does help them with one can of condensed milk and two loaves of bread weekly per child. Also during five winter months we sell them charcoal at half the market price. "The sister of the lad who works in my home was the recently put into one of the Near East relief orphanages here. She is thirteen years old, was taken by the Turks when she was only eight, was held by them for five years, and of course can speak only Turkish now. One of her eyes is gone, and she has the oldest, unhappiest face imaginable for a child of that age." HOLDS WALKING POOR SPORT Youth Who Is Famous Pedestrian Has Enrolled at Kansas College. Emporia, Kas. — Hiking across country for fun is poor sport, according to Milo Gibson, boy hiker, who walked to Washington last summer and was received by President Harding. "If you travel and write or do something for the benefit of humanity, these long hikes, are all right," Gibson said, "but there's too much danger of becoming a professional hobo." Gibson has enrolled as a freshman in the College of Emporia. He had intended to enroll at the school last fall, but was taken sick with pneumonia at the Grand Canyon of Arizona last August while on a hike from his home in Chanute to the Pacific coast. Gibson traveled 500 miles last summer. On his long tramps he caught many rides, but he did a great deal of leg work, especially in the West. Drove Out Gamblers Quickly. Bloomsburgh, Pa.—In 24 hours after he took the oath of office Police Chief Vervin Mericle drove the gambling out of Bloomsburgh. His first edict was against punchboards and they disappeared quickly. He next visited several establishments where poker was played and notified them to close up and "beat it" or land in jail. The proprietors closed up and hurriedly left.

BETTER ACQUANTANCE IS NEEDED (Associated Negro Press.) New York City, March 10.—"It's too bad the white people of America cannot know us as we really are," said William Pickens of the Associated THE MONITOR Negro Press, recently. Fifteen hundred people paid one dollar each to enter the Star Casino in New York City, last week and to entertain themselves with games and music, for the benefit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and to forward its great fight against lynching and other evils. There was a colored group, for sheer physical beauty the most wonderful thing in the round world. There was present every color of man and woman known to the creative powers of Nature. They were clean and bright and attractive in their manners. If only the LYNCHER could have seen this social gathering, which he indirectly helped to call into being! Would he despair or would he grow mad? He could not lynch all of these people, even, these gathered at the Casino. Some of them won't be lynched. And yet the gathering was only one-ten-thousandth of the colored population of the United States. EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON A large congregation was present last Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service. The vicar preached the first of a series of Lenten sermons on "The Church and Her Apostolic Ministry." His specific topic was, "Catholic, Not Roman." He showed how the Church, which is Christ's Mystical Body, of which He is the Head, was founded in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost and given by Her Founder, a definite Faith to teach, Sacraments to administer, a commissioned Priesthood and a Liturgy. Apostolic congregations were founded in Antioch, Ephesus, Corinth, Colossae, Rome, etc., and these were all Catholic churches, because they taught the faith once for all delivered to the saints, which is the Catholic Faith. When, therefore, these in communion with the Venerable See of Rome they betray inexcusable ignorance of both Scripture and Church history. Belief in the Holy Catholic Church is fundamental and necessary to salvation. Men delude themselves when they think they can be saved outside of the Church.

Mrs. Frank Williams returned to the city last Friday from Seattle, Wash., after being absent about a year. Donald Smith is confined at home with illness. Mrs. W. A. McClendon is improving from recent illness. At Mt. Zion Baptist Church last Sunday, Sunday School was lead by Assistant Superintendent Mrs. J. Johnson. Praise and covenant services at 11:30 a.m., at 3:30. Rev. A. J. McAllister of the Newman M. E. Church delivered an excellent sermon, and was accompanied by o number of his members. Rev. W. A. McClendon of A. M. E. Church and several of his folks worshipped with us. At night, preaching and communion services were held, the pastor preached a fine sermon. The result of the rally being about $76. Mrs. F. Young is confined at home with illness this week. Rev. J. Broadnax of Argentine, Kansas, was a Lincoln visitor last week. Rev. W. A. McClendon filled his pulpit last Sunday and, as usual, preached an interesting sermon to his folks. The Du Bois Literary Club met at 4 p. m. and was well attended by students and associates. We were sorrowful to hear of the death of Bert Williams at his home in New York last Saturday. We have lost a great comedian and entertainer of the American stage. We, no doubt, understand that some people are not familiar with the adage, which says: "You can fool some people, but you can't fool all the people all the time." Such was brought to bear on last Friday night, when Madam Theodosia Langford Mayo appeared in concert at the McKinley Auditorium before about twenty-five folks. It is reported that a number of folks were confined at home with La Gripe the past few days. Mr. John Blair died at his home, 801 Hill Street, Monday at 7 a. m., after some illness. Mr Blair was 84 years old, having lived in Lincoln for over thirty years. He leaves a daughter, Mrs. Florence Anderson, to mourn his demise. The funeral will be announced later. Rev. A. J. McAlister filled his pulpit Sunday and delivered fine sermons to his folks. The Sunday schools and aid societies of the different churches are doing good work.

LAST CURTAIN FOR BERT WILLIAMS THE PREMIER COMEDIAN In 1903, when the Williams and Walker company played at the Shaftesbury Theater, in London, Williams was invited to attend a lawn party at Buckingham Palace to entertain guests at the birthday celebration of the Prince of Wales. His demeanor so delighted royalty that he remained until his death a favorite with Londoners. Forms Partnership With Walker. It was in 1895 he met George Walker in Detroit, with whom he formed a partnership that lasted until the latter's death in 1909. They made the name of Williams and Walker famous throughout the English-speaking world. Their first appearance in New York was in 1896 and 1897.

Among the attractions made famous by this team were "The Policy Players," "Bandanna Land," "Abyssinia," "The Gold Bug," "Senegambian Carnival," "Sons of Ham" and "In Dahomey." It was with the last named production that they appeared so successfully in London. George Walker died in 1907 and Williams was featured alone in "A Load of Coal." In 1911 he made a Ziegfield contract under which he appeared in "The Follies" for ten years. The comedian is said to have left a large fortune, which goes to his wife, Lottie Williams. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 12:30 p. m. in St. Philip's Episcopal Church, the Rev. Hutchens Chew Bishop, rector of the parish, officiating. On Wednesday the body was taken to the Masonic Temple, where services were held by St. Cecilia Lodge. Burial was in Woodlawn Cemetery. Williams became a member of the Masonic order in Edinburgh in 1907. An Asset of the Race. Booker T. Washington wrote of Williams: "Bert Williams is a tremendous asset to the Negro race. The fact of his success aids the Negro many times more than he could have helped the race by merely contenting himself to whine about racial difficulties. The fact is the American people are ready to honor any man who does something worth while, irrespective of his color." CRISPUS ATTUCKS CELEBRATION A GREAT SUCCESS (Continued from Page 1.) The last speaker was the Rev. John Albert Williams, who was charged with "spilling the beans" in the address above quoted. But Dr. W. W. Peebles soothed the outraged patriotism of the audience, by stating that "while there may be a question in the minds of some people as to whether Attucks was a rioter or patriot, I am quite sure that the 12,000,000 Negroes of America need more rioters like Crispus Attucks." (Great applause.) Mrs. J. Alice Stewart in thanking all for their hearty co-operation, took the opportunity of saying that no matter what others might think she was convinced as others were convinced that Crispus Attucks was a hero and a martyr to American liberty. This also brought great applause and put the audience in tune for the benediction which was pronounced by the Rev. J. D. Crum. Thus happily ended Omaha's celebration of the day, which was a decided success.

The organization operates under the insurance commissioners of the state with supreme headquarters in Chicago, Ill., and Dr. R. A. Williams as supreme president and founder. A. L. Richmond of Kansas City, Mo., is supreme supervisor of the western states with headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., where in the last eighteen months over 3,700 members have been added in that city. The Royal Circle is strictly a Race order, and is doing more for the Race than any other order among our people, paying $7.00 per week for sickness and accident, $150.00 at death and places a monument at the grave of each deceased member. Gives members free hospital treatment, medical and surgical attention, room, nurse and board entirely free. Also gives them the advantage of a loan and charity department to pay mortgages of their homes and farms, and when in need assists them from the charity department. After a member has been in the order ninety days they may increase their death benefits as high as $1000.00. The monthly dues are $1.25 per month and NO TAXES as we have to pay in most of our other fraternities. Joining fee. $3.50—men and women belong to same local body—no rough initiation. The Royal Circle is fifteen years old and maintains hospitals for its members in Memphis, Teann.; Little Rock, Ark.; Hot Springs, Ark., and has an orphan's aid old folks' home for orphan children of the members where they are taught a trade and sihooled until they are able to take care of themselves, and the home for aged members to spend their last years on earth being cared for by the order absolutely free. Two other hospitals have been authorized, one for Chicago, Ill., and one for the western states, and if any work is done in Omaha as to membership, this city may be assured of the hospital for the western states as it is needed worse here than in most of the western states. Supervisor Richmond is here for that purpose, to organize local circles and put on a big membership drive with the view of giving Omaha an office building and the western hospital. A local circle is to be set up Thursday night at Mt. Moriah Baptist church on 24th and Ohio, where Rev. H. R. McMillan is pastor and who has been a member of the order since its start. Supervisor Richmond can be reached at 2814 North 25th street. Phone Webster 1760 for information. All members of the order from other states or former members of the order are requested to be out Thursday night, March 16, 1922, at Mt. Moriah Baptist church on 24th and Ohio at 8 p. m. Public invited. CRISPUS ATTUCKS Paper Read by Miss Emma Mitchell at Attucks' Day Celebration, Pilgrim Baptist Church, Sunday, Mar. 5 Crispus Attucks was born in slavery in 1723 and died in 1770. At the age of 27 he ran away from his master who advertised very extensively for his slave and offered a liberal reward for his return. Only after much meditation and thought had he broken away from the cruel chains that bound him, and he was determined to be a free American citizen. He learned to read at odd times, and he used this accomplishment in understanding the fundamental principles that underlie all regulated forms of government. A fiery patriotism burned in his breast. He was anxious to avenge oppression in any form, not by fighting alone, but by the sacrifice of life if necessary. Several years later Crispus Attucks name once more appeared in the Boston journals. This time he was not advertised as a slave who ran away, nor was there a reward for his apprehension. His soul and body were beyond the cruel touch of master. The press had paused to announce his death and write the name of the Negro patriot, soldier and martyr to the ripening cause of the American Revolution, in fadeless letters of gold. On March the 5th, 1770, the Boston Massacre occurred. The people had been oppressed by British tyranny, they had been treated as inferiors, they were taxed without representation and their souls gallled until they were maddened. When British troops to add insult to injury, encamped upon their grounds, they could withhold no longer. They were greatly exasperated. They organized clubs and resolved to avenge themselves and gain their rights. It has been said that Crispus Attucks led one of these clubs who brandished their clubs and pelted the British soldiers with snowballs. The scene was horrible. The populace advanced to the points of their bayonets. Crispus Attucks and twelve of his companions pressing forward encountered the soldiers, striking their muskets with their clubs, cried to the multitude: "Be not afraid; they dare not fire. Why do you hesitate? Why do you not kill them? Why not crush them at once?" Inspired by his words, his followers rushed madly on, and the soldiers, incensed by this act of insolence, answered the warlrike cry by discharging their guns. Attucks had lifted his arm against Captain Preston and fell a victim to the model fire. Three were killed and five were severely wounded. Attucks was buried from Fanueil Hall with great honor. He had led the people to make the attack. He was the first to resist and the first slain. His patriotism was the declaration of war. It was liberty to the oppressed. It opened the way to modern civilization and independence. It has blessed and will continue to bless generations yet unborn. For a man can fight when he knows he's right and know that he knows he is in a way that will make every blow that he strikes a blow to make victory his. The greatest greatness there is that the world may bring to you is the glory of being right and the splendor of being true. WHAT IS A BOY WORTH? This question was answered in a tangible way March 3 by the Branch Y. M. C. A. officials when they put over a $810 drive in twenty-four hours under the able leadership of the International Secretary, R. B. De Frantz of New York. The current expense for 1922 is estimated at only $600 and the $810 came as the result of the earnest effort put forth by the captains. The branch officials started the drive by planking down $235. Team No. 1, Captain, the Rev. Russel Taylor, $35; Team No. 2, Captain, Dr. J. A. Singleton, $95; Team No. 3, Captain, Mr. Nat Hunter, $40; Team No. 4, Captain, Dr. W. W.

Mahammitt, $125; Team No. 9, Captain, Mr. J. D. Crawford, $60. Messrs. W. S. Mill's, E. W. Pryor's and Joseph Carr's liberal gifts were included in the official contribution. Through the efforts of Mr. Jas Clark $56.50 was contributed to this drive from St. John's A. M. E. Church. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH 5422 South 23th St. Thomas A. Taggart, Pastor.

CHURCH 5233 South 25th St. O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor. For the past three weeks we have had a real spiritual feast. The Rev.

Some substantial members have been added to the church and many believers have taken higher grounds for Christ. Our quarterly meeting followed the revival.

Ministers from various churches, both Methodist and Baptist, were present with us. We extend an invitation to you to worship with us next Sunday. IN MEMORY OF HERIERT WORTHY By Francis R. Perkins. Beneath the azure southern skies in Bayon state, where sunshine lies a babe in Louisville was born— Oh mother, can you not feel proud To look to Him above the cloud? Give thanks to God, for happy days Made bright by baby's prattling ways. A mother's pride and mother's joy— This loving, bright and manly boy How soon to manhood he would grow And on the battlefield must go. He gave his breath in foreign lands To meet his country's great demand. He gave his soul to God above— What greater thing could mother love? "Oh when the saints go marching in," So oft he'd sing with fire and vim Mother, sister, yes, one and all, My hope in God where'er I fall Sisters, bemoan my absence not, For this is but man's common lot, 'Tis very hard and yet 'twould seem That death is only a passing dream. In sweet deliverance on the shore, The pearly gates that ope once more— Here Herbert stands, the boy to you born, Waiting for you on the final morn. THE NATION WIDE MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR COLONEL YOUNG (Continued from Page 1.) It has been learned by the Associated Negro Press that it was an expressed wish of the Colonel that his remains be cremated. This could not be done in Africa. Whether the request will be ultimately carried out or whether the remains will be brought to America and interred in Arlington cemetery, city of the soldier dead, or in the burying ground of Wilberforce, or at Janesville, Ohio where the Colonel's father is buried has not been decided upon.
