TINKFORD, NOTED AN INTEST, WINS INTEST Has Been Awarded Work Designing and Supervising Erection Administration Building or Allen University. S PIONEER RACE ARCHITECT Has Designed Many Churches, Schools and Other Buildings Throughout the Southland Where He Is Well Known. Columbia, S. C., April 7.—Mr. J. A. Langford, the noted architect and mechanical engineer, with headquarters at 1448 Que St., N. W., Washington, D. C., has been awarded the architectural work of the designing and supervising the Chappelle Hall Auditorium and Administration Building for Allen University here. He won the work in competition with several of the state and local architects of Columbia and the state of South Carolina, all competitors being white except Mr. Langford. This is regarded as a single victory for the race and the architect. In the designing of the Chappelle Hall and auditorium the plans are to be the best, most up-to-date and modern in every respect. The building is to be of the colonial type and will be purely classical, being of granite, stone, brick, steel, reinforced concrete, slate and metal. When completed as designed by the architect it will be the largest, most commodious and beautiful from an architectural point of view of any of the colleges or university buildings owned by the A. M. E. church or owned or controlled in the country by our group of people. It will have every modern appliance for books, laboratories, domestic science, applied mechanics and science; business and printing departments, central heating and lighting plants, dining hall to seat over five hundred students, auditorium with Roman gallery, with a seating capacity for over two thousand persons; a stage with foot and fly lights, dressing rooms, curtains and scenery and arranged to accommodate one hundred and fifty players or more—something sorely needed in this city and state where local and national talent may have the advantage of the stage and auditorium. Mr. Lankford has many schools churches and other buildings in this state and this section of the south, on account of his great ability as an architect and business man the People's Federation Bank of Charleston, S. C. has selected him to design their new bank building. The building is to be purely a fire-proof structure and to be one of the most beautiful and substantial in the city of Charleston. It is a seven-story building with a large banking house and store rooms on the first floor, a large auditorium and gallery on the second, business offices on the third and forth and lodge rooms in the other two stories. A large roof garden on the top of the building with a kitchen, dining hall and every modern improvement. The building will have elevators from the marble lobby on the first floor to the roof garden. Mr. Lankford is the pioneer colored architect of the country and the foremost architect of the race. NEW SOCIAL CLUB.

TORONTO POLICE GUARDING BULLOCK AGAINST KLUXIES TORONTO POLICE GUARDING BULLOCK AGAINST KLUXIES The Threat of the Kluxes to Kidnap Man Whom Canadian Authorities Released Results in Added Police Protection. PRESS SOUNDS DUE WARNING Toronto, Canada, April 7.—Adequate protection of Canadian police has been promised Matthew Bullock to prevent his being kidnapped and carried off secretly to the United States. Action of the police followed the threat of Rev. Arthur T. Abernethy, white, lecturer of the Ku Klux Klan in Hickory, N. C., that 1,000,000 Klansmen from Maine to Teras have been pledged to see that he is returned to North Carolina to stand trial, within the next ninety days. Bullock is accused of attempting murder in a race riot in Norlina, N. C., in which his brother was lynched. Bullock escaped to Canada, and the authorities refused to extradite him to the United States, when Governor Morrison of North Carolina refused to send witnesses to the hearing here. Bullock claimed that he would be lynched if Canadian authorities sent him back to the south. Bullock's father, Rev. William F. Bullock of Washington, D. C., a pastor of the A. M. church, displayed anxiety over the Ku Klux threats and is constantly with his son when the latter is not working at the Union Railway Station. Several striking editorials have appeared recently in the Canadian newspapers giving due warning to any Americans that kidnapping in Canada is a serious offense adequately punished by Canadian laws and that should any gentlemen from the Carolinas or any other southern state cross the Canadian border and violate her laws they will be detained in the prisons of that country. KLUXIES THREATS Beaumont, Tex., April 7.—The Rev A. La Planto has defied Ku Klux Klan threats and says in a statement that he will not leave Beaumont in com- pliance with a warning signed "KKK", demanding that he leave the city or be whipped, tarred and feathered. The Rev. La Planto is the pastor of a Catholic church which has been the target of Klu Klux Klan threats. Members of the church, learning of the threads, refused to allow their children to attend early mass Sunday morning, fearing the building would be dynamited.

E. O-Bryant, proprietor of O'Bryant's Pharmacy at 218 State street, in the durg store. The killing was the result of an argument over the name of one of the pitchers in the ball game here last Tuesday between the oBston Red Sox and the Pittsburgh Pirates. McClerkin was shot in the left shoulder and the bullet ranged downward and entered the heart. He died almost instantly. After the shooting O'Bryant went to the police station where he surrendered saying: "I have just shot my best friend but I had to do it because he started at me with a chair." O'Bryant was locked in a cell and refused to make my further statement.

JO Whole Number 351 AYS COURT MISS SARAH RECTOR FULLY COMPETENT TO HANDLE FORTUNE Court's Decision Gives Heiress Full Control of Her $1,000,000 Estate Which White Guardian Sought to Retain. JUDGE COMPLIMENTS GIRL Highly Pleased With Her Intelligence, Thrift and Good Judgment Shown in Management of Business Affairs. Kansas City, Mo., April 7.—Miss Sarah Rector, America's $1,000,000 oil queen, is rejoicing at her home following the decision of Judge J. E. Guinott, deciding that she was competent to take care of her own money. Two applications were filed, one by John Collins, colored, an uncle of Miss Rector, asking that Monte Sampson, white, be appointed a guardian, and another by G. C. Parker, white, asking that he be appointed guardian of the estate. The applications charged that because of er age, Miss Rector was incompetent to handle the large income from her fortune. Judge Guinott ruled that Miss Rector was of legal age and capable of administering her own estate. The Rector estate, the value of which is estimated at $1,500,000, consists of $500,000 in oil lands in Oklahoma and $1,000,000 in Kansas. The judge not only refused the plea of a white and a colored man to manage her estates, but complimented Miss Sarah highly on her intelligence and thrift. Miss Rector's wealth is derived from her allotment in the great Cushing oil fields, one of the richest fields in Oklahoma. She received this allotment under the Creek Indian Act, which gave Negroes held as slaves by Indians the same property rights as their masters. The allotment yields an annual income of between $30,000 and $40,000. A large part of this revenue Miss Rector has invested in Liberty bonds and farm land. She has about $300,000 invested in the bonds and her 970 acres of land are valued at nearly $100,000. Miss Rector, who is a pure blooded Negro, lives with her parents in what was once one of the most fashionable districts of the city, but is now being taken over by the wealthier colored folk. Apparently she supplies both the funds and the financial genius for the family, and she manages the household well and economically. She owns an automobile, not pretentious but good, and in the matter of dress is about on a par with the average girl of her age. She is a high school graduate, but she did not win any honors at school. To Charles H. Galloway, a learned and brilliant young attorney, who is legal adviser for Miss Rector, is due the credit for the successful termination of the fight that has been going on in the courts for yeaers and both Miss Rector and Judge Calloway have been showered with congratulations; she for having the race loyalty and courage to employ a Negro lawyer in a contest involving such large sums and he, for the magnificent and masterly manner in which he has handled the case from beginning to end.

Thank God, the number of those brave souls is growing. As an example of this we quote with pleas- ure a letter which was recently pub- lished in “America,” an influential Roman Catholic weekly, by a Jesuit priest, the Rev. John J. Albert of Bal- timore, in reply to a communication sent to the same publication by a ‘woman who made a wholesale attack ‘on Negro morality. Father Albert ‘says in part: “As*a priest who has labored ‘amongst the colored people for the past fifteen years I cannot agree with the drastic tone of her letter. Many people even of the South have a com- posite picture of the colored man or woman which is considerably out of date. An observer walking up Yenn- sylvania Avenue, Baltimore, between Biddle and Mosher streets, may notice lolling about a surfeiture of Negro riffraff, and be tempted to say: ‘Be- hold the Negro! How abominably ugly! Let the same observer attend the commencement exercises of the Baltimore colored high school, or, let us say, a basketball game between ‘Howard and Lincoln Universities in ‘Washington, and he will be astonished at the splendid appearance of the audience. “We may say the same of morals. Why should the servant class be held up as models of Negro morality? C. H. G. speaks of a colored mother and her daughter. What kind of morality in any race can be expected without real home life? What kind of a home is that which a mother must leave in order to be a cog in the wheel of an- other home? If we are ‘superior’ let us be fair. Here is a motherless home, situated perhaps in an alley. Maybe, in order/to accumulate the rent. odgers/are accepted. There are no hallways in many of these narrow houses. Where is that privacy so necessary for the protection of mor- als? If they move into a_ better neighborhood sometimes the ‘superior’ | whites throw unkind bricks and smash ‘windows, as they recently did in Bal- timore; or perhaps the houses are bombed, as has been the custom in Chicago. The ‘holier-than-thou’ white people keep them and their children far away from decent paces ot amusement, and also see to it that they do not get too near to that air of purity which seems to surround our Lord’s hidden Presence in the sanct- uary. Then the more ‘enlightened’ race speaks of them as ‘horribly im- moral”, and claims: ‘God Himself has put His own mark ypon them. I have a higher opinion of the good God than that; and I thank Him for that good fortune of having met many thousands of noble colored men and women throughout this country, more especially in the cities of Baltimore and Washington, and in the more Catholic atmosphere of the Gulf coast, ‘as well as in Louisiana and Southern ‘Texas, where there has always been a more serious effort at real home- making. “Finally to say: “The immense majority of colored children are born ‘out of wedloc’ is to say what is ‘hor- ribly’ untrue. With no intentional asperity, but with love towards all of God’s children, I have merely given here the answer called for.” We appreciate defenders of this Kind, and are grateful for their in- creasing number. “WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP YOU?” This js a question which has been frequently asked us within the past ten days.

Such an at- tempted abdication and the refusal to accept it occurred recently in Liecht- ensteln, one of Europe's tinlest inde- pendent states: Liechtenstein is tucked away. fm the eastern Alps south of Lake Con- stance along the upper Rhine, where that stream runs in a deep valley be tween Switzerland and Austria, Be- fore the World war, Austria was something more thin @ neighbor. The Uttle domain had a customs and pos- tal agreement with the larger state and in a very limited sense therefore functioned as @ part of It. But it had Its own hereditary ruler, Prince Johan Tl, its own little duly elected parliament of 15 members, and its ‘own high courts and lesser govern- mental machinery ‘There was another tle with Austria, though in a way it was only acci- dental, Prince Johan owned extensive estates In Austria and by virtue of their ownership sat In the Austrian upper house, But Johan also owned large ertates in Germany. In fact the aggregate acreage of his estates in various countries amounted to fitty times the area of land of which he was monarch with its 42 square miles, its greatest length of 1 miles and its greatest width of 6. Cynics or even mere economists may find tn Johan's extensive land holdings a reason for his high place tn the affeetions of his people. With- ont seriously feeling the drain on his large income he has virtually “run” Liechtenstein from his private purse so that only the most nominal taxa- tion Is known in the little land. ‘Three-quarters of a century ago the Inbabltants petitioned for an enter fuinment fund and the prince granted & subsidy, perhaps with a smile.

In the Austro-Prossian war back in the eighteen-sixties Liechtenstein cast her lot with her ally, Austria.

When it came to making peace terms Bismarck nodded, for once, and Uttle Liechtenstein wax completely forgotten, It was fust as well, or she might not have retained her freedom. But, apparently, she is determined not to be Ignored again. Her army marched home again, stacked their muskets and hung thetr eather helmets, tue bugler’s trampet and the captsin's sword in the ancient castle of Vadua, where they remain today. The citizenry informed the prince they wanted no more of war. He abolished military service, snd since then “disarmament” has been complete in Liechtenstein, though, technically, the country lins been at war with Prussia since 1866, Not only sre there virtually no taxes in Liechtenstein, but the coun- try has no public debt.
