NEGRO AMERICANS TAKE STEPS FOR UNITED MOVEMENT
Six Leading Civil Rights Bodies, Realizing Need of United Front, Issue an 'Invitation to All Race Organizations.
KEELY MILLER CO-OPERATES
Dean Among Signers of the Call and on Committee Charged With Work of Bringing Race Together.
New York, March 30.—(Crusader Service.)—In competete unanimity in the opinion, based upon actual experience in the field, that enmity toward Americans of African descent is on the increase rather than otherwise, the Conference of Civil Rights organizations held in this city on March 23 and 24 has issued a call for an all-Race conference to be held sometime before April 1, 1924.
A detailed call specifying time and place, agenda and representation will be issued later by the Committee of Arrangements which is for the present composed of Dean Miller, Wm. Monroe Trotter, James L. Neil, Jas. Weldon Johnson, Roebert W. Bagnall, Dr. D. N. E. Campbell, Rev. J. Hernigan, Richard B. Moore, Otto E. Husiwood, with Dr. Shaw and Mr. Briggs as ex-officio members in their capacity of president and secretary, respectively, of the conference which, before its adjournment, voted to go into permanent being and elected another permanent officer, Mr. James Weldon Johnson, as treasurer.
It is proposed to have representation at the all-Race conference from the following phases of Negro life, and will be apportioned by the committee of arrangements on the basis of an equal number of delegates from each section: Religious organizations, fraternal organizations, civil rights organizations, social organizations, educational organizations, organized press, labor organizations, business organizations and professional organizations.
The task of working out an agenda, basis of representation and preparing a detailed call will naturally take some time, and before the job is completed many experts on the various subjects to be dealt with will have to be co-opted to the present committee on arrangements. In the meantime, however, the six bodies composing the conference and issuing the call, express the hope that the Negro press will give this call the widest circulation and that all Negro organizations and bodies will begin at once to move in the direction of the all-Race conference. It is the hope of the conference that parliamentary rules and the regular red tape will be suspended in this case and that immediate action will be taken on a question so vital and important to the well-being of the Negro masses as the calling of this all-Race conference with the view of realizing a solid front against the ever increasing onslaughts of the enemy. The call follows:
"The world today has come to a critical period of its existence. Our Race likewise has reached a crucial situation. The promises of amelioration and of full citizenship so easily made during the critical period of the Great World War have failed of fulfillment. In this time of readjustment there is growing a very menacing spirit of animosity against the Race and a determination to thrust the Negro down into the most servile and degrading status and to maintain him there forever.
"Now while world readjustment is in progress and when every other oppressed group is exerting itself to the utmost to gain its rights and liberties, the Negro Race must bestir itself, must concentrate its best thought and energy to withstand the terrible onslaughts made against it and scurce its due and rightful status: Equal manhood rights and opportunities in every department of life. The Race must be stimulated to utilize all available opportunities for constructive endeavor and must be brought into harmonious working relationships with the white race.
"The need is urgent, nay, imperative, then, for the assembling of a national all-Race conference to consider the present position of the Race, to ferret out and unmask the hostile forces arrayed against it, to formulate

MEXICAN POLICE STOPPEDWOULD-BE LYNCHERS
Americans In Lower California Are
Baffled In An Attempt To Play
The Game of Savage
Torture
PROTECT THEIR PRISONER
Pacific News Bureau.
Tia Juana, Lower California, Mex., March 30—Chester Carlton, colored, confined in the local jail charged with murder, the outcome of a pistol duel a few weeks ago in which Carlton shot and fatally wounded a Mexican by the name of Gonzales, owes his life to the nerve of the local police commander.
A few hours after the murder the police commander was waited upongy a determined body of would-be lynchers from the American side, demanding that the Negro be turned over to them.
"What do you wish with him?" demanded the Mexican authority.
"Oh! we merely want to give a little demonstration as to how we deal with his kind down South," replied the mob leader.
The Mexican commander, heavily armed, glanced around to see if his police were properly stationed, and then replied, "There he is, take him if you wish."
Gloating over their anticipated pleasure of mob torture, they made a rush for the Negro, but were halted by a command of "Stop" from the Mexican commander.
In a quiet voice he merely said, "Take him if you wish, but before you get him you will have to get me and every one of my heavily armed police. The Mexican government holds me and my men responsible for the safe keeping of all criminals regardless of race or color, and we are responsible to the government with our lives if anything happens to this prisoner. Now take him if you wish."
The latest reports state that Carlton is still safe in the local jail, heavily guarded, waiting for a fair trial before the Mexican courts.
a plan of defense and protection, to discover the forces, agencies and organizations which may be utilized in that defense, to effect a united front of the Race, and to devise ways and means for full and complete emancipation.
"The attention of the conference must be focussed upon the following: Race prejudice, legal discriminations, economic exploitation, racial self-respect, religious awakening, moral and social betterment, co-operation within the Race and between the races, political action, industrial betterment, such evils as lynechngs, KluXism, segregation, distranchement, unequal enforcement of law enforcement.
"A detailed call specifying time and place will be issued later by the committee of arrangements. Every Negro organization should begin now to move in this direction, and the attention and energy of the Race centred upon the successful conduct of this conference to the end that our Race should at last achieve that improvement of its status for which we all hope and strive."

(Continued from last week.)
The speaker who accosted me said:
"My name is Stewart. I am sorry I am late. I promised Bishop Demby last night that I'd be sure to meet you and take you to his house."
"Well, you've met me all right, haven't you? I wasn't worried. I knew that the Bishop was either out of town, or perhaps detained by a service, this being the Feast of the Purification, and that either he or some one else would show up and, if they didn't I'd call a taxi or inquire about a street car and find my way there. We westerners, you know, are not very easily lost."
He took my bags, and soon I was in his car speeding rapidly towards the home of my host.
Mr. Stewart is an enterprising man who operates a line of taxis. He bears the reputation of being reliable and dependable and so is always kept busy.
In the course of our pleasant conversation as we rode on he said, "I call myself 'Bishop Demby's chauffeur' because whenever he needs a car he calls me, and that is quite frequently."
Speaking of Stewart reminds me that I noticed quite a number of colored men operating taxis. I asked him.
"Do the taxi lines operated here by the white people accommodate our people?"
"Not much," he replied. "Some of them will, but not as a rule. They'll haul your baggage, but not you."
FAKE CHARGES ALLEGED

Elberton, Ga., March 30.—Information to the effect that colored men in northern cities were receiving letters telling them that they were wanted in southern cities, is being investigated by Sheriff Jack Heley, who says that the men, lured away, were victims of a "blackmailing system,"

SACRED DRAMA AT ST.
JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH
A sacred drama, "The First Easter" will be given at St. John's A. M. E. Church, Easter Sunday, at 7:30 p.m. The following persons comprise the cast of characters: Messrs. Jno. Wood, Ira Wood, H. L. Preston, Mrs. I. L. McPherson and Misses Mollie Moore, Bobbie Turner and Mildred Turner. The drama will be heightened in its various phases by appropriate music from the sacred oratorios rendered by St. John's choir largely augmented by additional voices. Everybody is cordially invited to attend.
WOMAN HELD FOR FORGING VETERAN'S GOVERNMENT CHECKS
Washington, D. C., March 30—Preston News Service.—Mrs. Margaret L. Buchanan, former private secretary to Representative Kendall of Pennsylvania, was held for grand jury on charges of having forged endorsements on three veterans bureau checks payable to Mrs. Martha Warfield, whose son died overseas during the World War. These checks aggregated $1,600, and were drawn to the order of Mrs. Warfield who was a servant in Mrs. Buchanan's home.
Ulysses Jackson, of Boston, Mass. has arrived in the city to visit his sister, Mrs. C. C. Trent. His stay is indefinite.
WIDE AWAKE TWENTY-FOUR
The Wide Awake Twenty-four meet with Mrs. Grace Flannigan Friday afternoon, March 16th. Memorial services were held for our late president, Willa Mae Stewart and Julia Fletcher. Mrs. A. L. Hawkins, chairman of the program committee, had arranged a very appropriate program for the occasion. The next place of meeting will be with Mrs. Lenora Gray, 1211 Missouri Ave., Friday afternoon, April 6th.
"That's mighty consistent," I laughed. "And are our people chumps enough to pay them for hauling their baggage and not them?" I asked. "A few of them are, but not many. And they soon learn. And besides, since we have our own taxi lines, which can give good service, they do not have to put up with it. Some of our cars may not be as fancy or as stylish as the other fellow's but they will get you where you want to go." I learned much more of interest from my conversation with "Bishop Demby's chauffeur."
And speaking of chauffeurs and cars, I would like to make a suggestion to the good people of Little Rock and other points in Arkansas, to see to it that Bishop Demby has a car of his own. I am very sure that he could learn to be his own chauffeur. Stewart would lose his job under these circumstances, but I am sure he would not mind this a bit. A car would be of real service to the Bishop Suffragan of Arkansas, not for "joy riding," he's too busy for that, but in making visitations from place to place throughout the jurisdiction. I am quite interested to learn if any Anisite, Texan or Oklahoma, for all of these states are included in his jurisdiction, will take the hint.
We rode through attractive and well paved streets past the Capitol, for as you know, Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas, and well kept residence districts on our way to "Bishophead," or "Bishopowe," or "Bishoppeor," or "Bishopcroft," or

Young Colored Lad From Wilmington
Defeats Several Worthy Oppon-
ents Before Huge Crowd

PRIZE OF $100 AND MEDAL
Winner Will Also be Commencement Day Orator in June, Which is A Highly Coveted Honor
Providence, R. L., Mar. 30.—Louis Lorenzo Redding, a senior at Brown university, won the Gaston prize medal contest in oratory in Manning Hall recently before the largest crowd that has ever gathered to listen to the annual event.
Mr. Redding's subject was "Booker T. Washington" and the judges, Professors Benjamin C. Clough and Robert McB. Mitchell and Leland M. Goodrich were unanimous. The other contestants were John Andrew Wilson, who spoke on "Theodore Roosevelt," and David Alan Midgley, who gave his views on the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations."
The Gaston medal and a purse of $100 went to Mr. Redding, but there is still a greater honor that goes to the winner. On Wednesday, June 20, Redding will be one of the speakers at the 15th annual commencement in the First Baptist Meeting House.
Speaking with a mellowness of tone and enunciating perfectly, Redding told of conditions pertaining to the Negro with the final abolition of American slavery in 1865, and of the splendid and beneficial work that Booker Washington attempted.
"It is a remarkable demonstration of personal greatness that the man, born without patrimony or name, should leave a vast heritage, the contents of which is not diminished, but magnified by being shared among thousands."
Young Redding was personally congratulated by President W. H. Faunce and invited to meet in a conference with him in the near future.

Whole Number 403
WOMAN LEAVES $1,000,000
FOR AN OLD FOLKS HOME WITH
NO RACE OR CREED BARRED
Chicago, March 30—Associated Negro Press—Miss Emilie Jane Smith 84, daughter of a former rich merchant of Chicago, died leaving an estate of $1,000,000 to provide another home for the aged both men and women, in Chicago. One of the distinct provisions of the will is that there shall be no distinction on account of race, color or creed.
merely the "Bishop's House." Most bishops call their houses (not) after their own names, but by some such name as I have here quoted. I am not sure, but I think Bishop Demby simply calls his the "Bishop's House," but any of these other names would be highly appropriate. No name, however high sounding it might be, could by so much as one jot or tittle add to the genuine hospitality and gracious welcome which awaits one fortunate enough to be a guest in this cultured Christian home. But I anticipate.
The driver turned off a paved street into an unpaved street. Knowing the "ancient custom" to neglect paving and lighting facilities in districts inhabited by colored folk, even though they pay their portion of the taxes, I judged that we were now in a "Negro Colony" or district. My conjecture was right. A ride of a couple of blocks brought us to a large and attractive frame dwelling, on the corner of Cross and Nineteenth street. The grounds indicated care. The residence showed that its occupants or owners believed in the decorative and preservative value of paint and in keeping the property in good repair. This was the home of my friend of many years' standing. Bishop and Mrs. Demby were standing on the verandah or porch, we call them up here, but "gallery" they call them "down yander."—smiling a gracious welcome, as preceding the "chaffeur" I ascended the steps.
SOCIALIST TO CAMPAIGN
AMONG NEGRO YOUTH
New York City, March 30.—The convention of the Young People's Socialist League at their closing session at 227 East 84th Street, voted to begin a Socialist campaign among Negro boys and girls in the schools and factories of New York. They intend to include them either in circles of white members on a basis of strict equality, or to allow them to form separate groups, if it is thought advisable. A Harlem circle is expected to be formed within the next two weeks. Instructions have been given to proceed at once with the organization in all the public high schools and to distribute literature explaining the principles and purposes of Socialism. Efforts are to be made first in the schools which have a large number of children of the working classes, such as the DeWitt Clinton and Stuyvesant high schools.
A fight was anticipated as a result of this move, for there were present as visitors in some of the later sessions of the conventiin, the president and executive secretary if the National Security League. They told reporters that they had come to see how the organization was run and to get information to combat the membership drive in the schools.
RACE PREJUDICE IS
SCORED BY BISHOP
Columbus, O., March 30.—Race prejudice and race hatred were scored by Bishop William F. Anderson, Cincinnati, in the opening address of the annual meeting of the Methodist Episcopal church.
"No Christian can nurture the sin of race prejudice and race hatred," said the bishop.
The Rev. D. M. McQueen, State Grandmaster of the Mosaic Templars of America, returned Sunday morning from Little Rock, Ark., where he had been on business for the order. He reports a pleasant trip and is enthusiastic over the work and prospects of this great fraternal organization.

URBAN LEAGUE OFFICERS TOURING TNE NORTH
President Wood and Secretary Jones Visiting Several Industrial Centers on Good Will Trip
INVESIGATE CONDITIONS
New York, March 30.—L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the National Urban League, and Eugene Kincle Jones, its executive secretary, are visiting cities of the north and west in the interest of better relations between the races and larger industrial opportunities for Negro working men. They left New York City on March 15 and made their first stop in Pittsburgh where they visited industrial plants and held conferences with leading white and colored citizens in the interest of the social welfare of Negroes along the lines of the League's improvement program. From Pittsburgh their itinerary comprised Columbus, O.; Louisville, St. Louis, Kansas City, Missouri; and Kansas City, Kansas; Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, and Buffalo.
The increasing migration to the North of Negroes from the South and the attendant problem of health, housing, recreation and industry which the new adjustment needs entail render this a most opportune time for such a trip. It is generally conceded that Mr. Wood, though a white man, is most sympathetic with the Negro's claim for equal opportunity and has an unusual understanding of the Negro's point of view in his efforts to attain the higher things of life.
Mr. Wood is of Quaker parentage, a lawyer by profession, and is serving on the Board of Directors of many educational institutions and liberal movements.
Mr. Jones has been executive secretary of the Urban League for twelve years. The League is now located in forty cities and spent $250,000 last year in promoting its activities.

BISHOP SHAYLER CONFIRMS LARGE CLASS OF ADULTS
Palm Sunday Observed With Impressive Services And Large Congregations at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon
DAILY PROGRESS IS URGED
Christian Life is One of Daily Growth Not Spontaneous Righteousness Bishop Tells Members of Class
Palm Sunday, which ushers in Holy Week, was observed with impressive services and large congregations at the Episcopal Church of St. Philip the Deacon. The chancel was simply, but artistically decorated with palms. The Altar vases contained tulips and roses provided by the altar guild and by Mrs. M. L. Wilson. The choir, according to custom, carried palm branches in procession.
The first service of the day was the usual Mass or celebration of the Holy Eucharist with the blessing of the palms at half past seven o'clock. This was followed at ten o'clock by the regular session of the Church school, which was largely attended. The children were catechised on the meaning of the day and palm crosses were distributed.
At 11 o'clock the church was comfortably filled by the congregation. The pastor preached from the Epistle for the day upon "Christ-mindedness", stressing as its essential factors, humility, unselfishness and self-sacrifice. For the offertory the choir and congregation joined in singing most heartily the beautiful Story of the Cross, the solo, "The Appeal From the Cross," being sung most effectively and touchingly by Mr. Birney B. Cowin. Palms were also distributed at the close of this service. At two o'clock in the afternoon the Sacrament of Holy Baptism was administered to Josiah Brown, one of the candidates for confirmation.
At five o'clock the church was filled to overflowing, many persons being compelled to stand when Bishop Shayler made his annual visitation for Confirmation. The long procession consisting of the vested choir, and the members of the confirmation class, the women in white and wearing long white veils and all carrying palm branches, made a beautiful and impressive sight as they marched up the aisle singing the ancient hymn of St. Theodulph, written in the year 800, "All Glory, Laud and Honor to Thee, Redeemer, King." During the singing of the hymn, "Thine, Forever, God of Love," the class came to the chancel rail where they were presented to Bishop Shayler by the Rev. John Albert Williams, priest of the parish. The "Veni Creator, Spiritus" was sung, followed by the solemn act of The Laying of Hands with the rubrical words, prayer and benediction.
Bishop Shayler's personal charge to the candidates made a deep impression not only upon the members of the class, but upon the whole congregation, as did also his eloquent and instructive sermon on The Message of Palm Sunday. He based his charge to the confirmees upon two words taken from the prayer said as the Bishop lays his hands upon the head of each kneeling candidate: "Defend, O Lord, this Thy child with Thy Heavenly grace that he may continue Thine forever and daily increase in Thy Holy Spirit more and more until he come unto Thine everlasting Kingdom." The words were "Daily Increase." He stressed the fact that the Christian life must be one of daily growth, not one of magical or spontaneous righteousness. This growth comes by diligent and faithful use of the means of grace. "Strive to grow daily in righteousness," the Bishop urged the newly confirmed.
Those confirmed were: Augustus (Bendy) Bacom, Eula Amelia (Gay) Broomfield, Josiah Brown, Nathalie May Brown, Birney B. Cowin, Vera (Kimberly) Cowin, John Crawford, Mary (Penn) Jackson, Ray Lee (Middleton) Jones, Alfretta E. Merriweather, William Henry Newsome, Henry K. Perry, Severn T. Philips, Thomas Scott Phillips, Mollie (Still) Shipman, Ada Christine (Hill) Smith, Charles Turner Smith, John Albert Smith, Loretta Elaine Smith.
Two or three other members of the class who were unable to be present will be confirmed later. The class will make its first communion Easter morning at six-thirty.

EASTER
EASTER is the standing witness of a great historical FACT. That fact is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the very corner-stone of the Christian religion, the key-stone of the arch of Christian truth. It is the one great essential miracle which proves the truth of the Christian religion. It is the Master-Miracle which verifies every other miracle in the Gospel narrative. Acceptance of the supreme Miracle of the Resurrection logically compels acceptance of all other miracles, either of incidental or essential value, in the Gospel narrative. The incidental miracles are those which Christ did, as the inevitable and appropriate expressions of the Divine Love and Energy of which He is the embodiment. Once Christ is conceived of as or conceded to be the extra-ordinary Person He is general believed to be certainly by untold millions of adoring disples and adherents, miracles become for Him both natural and necessary. They are but the physical witnesses of His character, completing the picture of Divine goodness of which He is the manifestation and showing that its action in the physical is in essential harmony and accord with its action in the moral sphere. Christ's Personality explains His miracles. "Our supernatural was His natural; what we call His miracles were but the normal expressions of His energy, as nature is but the manifested activity of the immanent God." The miracles of Christ have therefore incidental value. But the miracles of essential value are those constituted and centered in His Person or realized in it. Of these there are three—the Incarnation, the Birth and the Resurrection. These all stand together. These are all miracles. They are mysteries. They deal with the supernatural. Of these that which is most capable of distinct historical proof or disproof is the Resurrection. And there is no better proven fact in history than that Jesus Christ, Who suffered death upon the cross, the instrument of shame as well as of cruel torture, under Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, on the third day rose again from the dead.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is a well-proven fact of history of which Easter Day is the great yearly memorial and witness and every Lord's Day or Sunday the weekly witness and reminder. From the beginning Christian testimony has placed this fact in the very forefront and upon its truth has staked the life of the Christian religion. "If Christ be not risen our faith is vain." If it be proven that no living Christ issued from the tomb of Joseph of Armenia then that tomb is the grave of a religion with all its solaces, hopes, aspirations and inspirations. But Christian civilization today, despite its many imperfections and inconsistencies, is positive proof that He rose from the dead.
The Resurrection proves the unique Personality of Jesus Christ as the Son of God full of grace and truth and bears testimony to the truth of His Incarnation and entrance among the sons of men through the gateway of human birth. If the miracle of the Resurrection is a proven fact, and it is, then the other two great essential miracles of the Gospel, "Conceived of the Holy Ghost; Born of the Virgin Mary" are also true. The Incarnation, the Birth and the Resurrection stand indissolubly together. "God's Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, Who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh, was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by His Resurrection from the dead."
Easter then proclaims the Fact of Christ's Resurrection, and in His Resurrection, the question which so long perplexed mankind, "If a man die, shall he live again?" receives its answer, and the answer is "Yes."
"I know that my Redeemer liveth and in the latter day he shall stand upon the earth and though my skinworms destroy this body, yet in my flesh I see God, whom I shall see for myself and mine eyes shall behold and not another."
Millions throughout the world today in every tongue and language will affirm their belief, illuminating and comforting, in "the Resurrection of the BODY and the life everlasting," because "Christ has risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept."

The Christian doctrine of the Resurrection does not merely proclaim the immortality of the soul, but the Resurrection of the body. Heathenism, corrupt as it was, had preserved the tradition of the immortality of the soul; her pure etheral substance carried within itself an argument for its indestructibility; amid the islands of the blessed, fanned by ocean breezes, she was to pass a tearless eternity; but it was reserved for Christianity to proclaim the resurrection of the body; that these dry bones should live; that in our flesh we should see God. He, who in the beginning made us out of the dust of the earth, is not unable, when in obedience to His command we are again resolved and turned into earth to raise us again from it. These bodies are to rise again. Man, not merely the soul, is immortal. At Eastertide mankind rejoices because it can say with confidence, RESURGAM, I Shall Rise Again!
"THE HANDS OF ESAU, BUT—"
AN ORGANIZATION known as the "American Fascist" has asked for a charter under the laws of the State of Nebraska. The organizer and the "Lictor", this is the name of the chief officer, is Edgar Irving Fuller, former district kleagle of the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The organization wears no mask or sheet and slit pillow-slipp headgear, but a simple black shirt. Eligibility to membership includes "All WHITE Americans". It stands for "100 per cent Americanism". This expression looks and sounds familiar, doesn't it? "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" or the disturbed malodorous skunk, as offensive, though called a furry quadruped. As a matter of fact as we think of this new "patriotic" (?) organization, founded by a former district kleagle, we are reminded of a deceitful act recorded in Holy Writ. "The bands are the hands of Esam, but the voice is the voice of Jacob".
SIOUX CITY, IOWA, NEWS
Rev. R. M. Williams, who has been pastor of Haddock M. E. Mission for the past two years, has resigned the pastorate and has been transferred to the Washington conference. The citizens of Sioux City feel deeply the loss of Rev. Mr. Williams to the community for he was at once a leader and a co-worker. His influence has been felt in all sections of the city, among all classes and conditions of people. A great race man, he has presented the cause of his people to large representative audiences composed of the leading business and professional people of the city, and has commanded their confidence and cooperation in a marked way. A man unselfish in purpose, unirting in his efforts, a chivalrous Christian gentleman, he has earnestly endeavored to uplift his fellow man. As promoter and president of the Sioux City branch of the N. A. A. C. P. he proved a very efficient organizer and leader. The organization has thrived as has no other such effort in our city, and much of its success has been due to his efficient leadership. His talented wife has worked faithfully by his side in the mission on the east side bottoms. It is true that we can ill afford to lose people of such caliber. We wish them Godpeed and unbounded success in their new field of endeavor.
Mr. and Mrs. Guy Wm. Kenft and little daughter, Roy Mae, of Lexington, Mo., arrived in our city to make their home. They are stopping with their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Brashere, 808 Market St.
Mr. Raymond Boyd arrived in the city on Tuesday, March 20, and is now employed at a local studio.
Mr. George Hicks is reported home again after being in the hospital the past four weeks.

MOROCCO
Courtyard Moroccan Inn.
(Prepared by the National Geographic So-
clety, Washington, D. C.) Morocco, one of the latest of territories to be added to the vast French colonial system, and the region outside Europe to which France is now perhaps devoting greatest attention, constitutes one of the world's queerest mixtures of the ancient and the modern, the East and the West. But as yet the things of the modern world are chiefly physical and superficial. In distance Morocco is as close to Western Morocco as any Mohammedan country, and is alone among important Moslem communities in touching the Atlantic, the great ocean highway which has spread the ideas of the West. But in customs and institutions Morocco is more Eastern than Turkey or Egypt, and as Moslem as the Hedafz.
Up to ten years ago when France assumed her protectorate Morocco was less affected by modern ideas and influences than any other civilized country in the world; it was to the West in 1912 what Japan was in 1880; a hermit land living according to its own traditions and rigidly excluding both the people and the ideas of the rest of the world.
The ten years of French control have brought marked external changes, chief of which are the extension of means of transportation and communication. Before the French came there were no roads. Not a wheeled vehicle existed in the country outside a few coast cities. Now there is a network of wonderful highways rivaling those in France itself, and over them automobiles rush bearing men and mail and freight. Railroads, too, have been built, but the rail system is still in its infancy and is not marked for its efficiency. Wireless towers have been erected and airplanes now carry French officials between the cities of the country.
To much of Morocco's extensive territory—it is close to Texas in size—the French have brought order and a better government than it has ever had before. But to a great extent it has been necessary to leave local and regional authority in the hands of native administrators. Affairs are not conducted, of course, according to European or American standards. Life is cheap to the Moroccan. Turbulence has always been the rule. As in medieval Europe it is still necessary to lock the gates of the cities at night and the Westerner who ventures abroad after nightfall does so at his peril. In some of the more remote towns foreign visitors are even locked in block-houses at night "for safe-keeping."
The region close to the Spanish zone in the north has given the French great trouble. The Spanish have never really controlled an appreciable part of this theoretical sphere of their influence—the Riff. It has been infested by bandits, and to it have repaired the tribesmen unfriendly to France. It has been impossible to maintain railroads in French Morocco near this boundary. Bands of malcontents have made night sorties from the Riff, tearing up the rails and destroying bridges.
Until the French took control Christians had been rigidly excluded from Morocco since the Fifteenth century. Jews had been admitted all along, but they were compelled to live in separate quarters, and though not the objects of hatred and contempt to such an extent as were Christians, they were looked down upon by followers of the Prophet. In Fez, the inland capital, is a mosque looked upon by Moroccan as more sacred than any shrine outside Mecca. Even after the French protectorate was set up Christians were not supposed to go within two blocks of this sacred edifice. In late years this rigorous rule has been changed and Christians may now pass in the street beside the mosque, but they are still supposed not to look at it.
The western traveler to this country, which only yesterday was "forbidden land" to the Christian, runs across amazing incongruities. Brass bedsteads and grandfather clocks are set up against walls of exquisite mosaic and intricate arabesque patterns. Arabs pitch their tents at the foot of great wireless stations. Velled women of the harem ride through new-made streets in automobiles. The streets themselves are indicative of rapid change; for a few years ago no roads ran into Fez, and even yet some of the thoroughfares are so narrow that

not even an animal, much less a vehicle, could squeeze through them. If one looks down upon Fez from an airplane, as flyers now do, it would seem to be a streetless city. Many of the narrow aisle-like streets are latticed over to protect the hooded, ghost-like pedestrians from the sun. Others burrow under great estates by tunnels, as does the famous Cliff Walk at Newport under several of the gardens of summer homes there.
Funerals Are Gay Sight.
Funerals Are Gay Sight.
Perhaps the gayest sight of a Moroccan city is a funeral. The wife who has been cloistered in life is paid every honor in death. She is borne aloft in a great carved box of many colors, and behind her sing choral societies organized to follow funerals. A mere man is swathed in cloth and bound to a board. He has no box.
The more pretentious homes of Fez are built around a courtyard, with tiny rooms opening out upon the court, resembling the setting of a room in some little theater. The guest in a Moroccan home passes through the court with its inevitable fountain, lays off his shoes before the dining room compartment, as he would upon entering a Chinese temple, and sits down upon a enclosure opposite his host. The host will commit a serious breach of etiquette if he touched any food before the guest had finished his meal. After the guest has concluded the host partakes of a leisurely repast, and not until he is through is the food he leaves sent to the wives, concealed, but audible, on the upper floor.
The Moroccan wife has somewhat less freedom of movement than an American domestic. Friday afternoon is the "wives' day out" but they may only go to the cemetery then, from which men are excluded for the afternoon. The cemetery is not at all gruesome, to the Moroccan way of thinking. Markets are held there, and in various ways the cities of the dead do duty for public parks. Water wheels are as numerous in Fez as windmills in Holland. The city is netted with tiny streams so that it is almost literally true that every house has a waterway beneath it. Islam contributes to this abundant water supply for the Mohammedm must wash before he enters a mosque to pray. And he prays, though not always in a mosque, five times a day.
Fez touches the average American—in a very literal sense—by virtue of his pocketbook. In Fez Moroccan leather is cured. One of the most interesting industrial sights of the city is the hollowed out rocks, resembling the cross section of a honeycomb, in which leather is dipped in a solution of lime by natives who, strangely enough, stand in the mixture up to their waists without injury to their skins.
Travelers in French Morocco pay special tribute to the efficiency of French administration there. In southern Morocco lived Glacui who, next to Ralsuil, was the most daring of Moroccan bandits. He was made administrator of the region he formerly had plundered; and, visitors say, there is not a kindler, more courteous, and more agreeable gentleman in those parts. Nor has there been any trouble with banditry since he became an official.
Country Has Four Capitals.
Theoretically Morocco has four capitals—Fez, Taftlef, Marrakesh and Rabat. But the chief French officials reside at Rabat on the Atlantic coast, and like MacGregor's seat at the table, that is the real head. The sultan still maintains his palace in the three other cities and visits them from time to time.
Perhaps the most interesting city in Morocco next to Fez, is Marrakesh, the old southern capital. There the country is drier and hotter and camels are the characteristic beasts of burden and draft as tiny donkeys are in the north. Both the buildings and walls of Marrakesh are of red mud, which gives the city an aspect in striking contrast to the brilliant white city of Fez. These mud walls are 800 years old, but due to the dryness of the climate are well preserved.
Marrakesh is a contrast to Fez also in that it is a roomy city. Its walls were built to enclose a city of a million inhabitants, but have never sheltered more than a quarter of that number. And today the city's population is only about 160,000. As a result there is much unused land within the walls, much of which is used for gardens.

RED THEATER AGENTS THRIVE
Speculators Benefit From Great Demand for Seats in Moscow.
Moscow this winter is a profitable field for the speculator in the theater tickets. At the theater box offices there is such a rush for seats for the ballets and other popular pieces that queues are soon formed, and many persons are ready to pay the higher prices to save standing in line.
Many workers who, when communism was at its height, had access to the theaters free of charge, now purchase regularly from speculators, apparently taking it for granted that the new economic policy, and all that goes with it—the good and the bad—is here to stay.
The people of the city flock every night into the lighted streets. Scores of theaters, more than in the prewar days, cater to their amusement. And close by are the restaurants and cafes the gambling casinos and the cabarets

ANCIENTS HAD 'DRUG STORES
Principal Studies of Toxicologists, However, Were Confined to Finding Antidotes to Poisoners.
The earliest pharmacopaea, or collection of formulating showing evidence of supervision over drugs, is a Sanscrit work. A Roman one was written in 42 A. D., and the next was an Arabian work written in 900 A. D. In Naples an academy was founded in the Eleventh century, and Salerno had one in the Seventh century. Through the Influence of these schools drug stores, called "stationares," were established throughout Italy.
Antidotes and disinfectants, classed with the opiates, were the main remedies in the time of Cordus. The principal representatives of those were the two electiures, "Therias" and "Mithridat." Mithridat was a compound invented by Mithridas Eupator, king of Pontus, who lived in constant fear of poison and studied toxicology by testing polisons on criminals and taking their antidotes himself every day.
His system became so accustomed to polisons that when, on the day of his defeat by Pompey, he attempted to polison himself, the polison failed and he ordered one of his soldiers to kill him. Pompey found the recipe, and it was improved upon by Democrates, the physician of Nero, until it contained 55 ingredients.
FORTUNE BECKONS TO SAILOR
Always in the Minds of Whalers is the Possibility of a Find of Precious Ambergris.
Ambergris is one of the most valuable products of the sea. The mariner who spies floating on the waves a grayish mass, fatty in appearance, will, if he knows what ambergris is, betray considerable excitement, for the substance fetches high price.
Capt. James Earle of New Bedford, Mass, is said to have been the luckiest of all skippers in the old whaling days.
From a single sperm whale he realized over $100,000. It was not the 90 barrels of oil which gave the leviathan its extraordinary value, for that was sold for something like $4,000; but within the whale's vast interior there was found a solid piece of ambergris weighing 750 pounds.
This was the largest single piece of ambergris ever found, and that it came from one lone whale made the discovery more interesting to the scientific world.
This 780-pound piece of ambergris was sold in chunks in all markets of the world for about $100,000, and it laid the foundation of wealth for almost every man interested in the whaling expedition.

If you attempt to beat a man down and so get his goods for less than a fair price, you are attempting to commit burglary as much as though you broke into his shop to take the things without paying for them.—There is cheating on both sides of the counter and generally less behind it than before.—Henry Ward Beecher.

It was in 1851, two years after the finding of gold in California, that the precious metal was discovered in Australia. In 65 years two and one-half billions of 96 per cent pure gold were produced there.

GAYETY'S SPRING SEASON
Instead of a Dramatic Stock It Will House Musical Comedy Stock—First-run Pictures, Too.
And now comes a novelty for your approval—instead of closing until next August after the final performance of Columbia burlesk next Friday night, the popular Gayetty will be closed but one day, opening a supplementary spring season starting at noon on Sunday, April 8.
The management announces the indefinite engagement of Fred Webster's "Atta Girl" company in a series of de luxe musical tabloids, presenting a new and complete miniature musical comedy twice each week, changing on Sunday and Thursday.
Mr. Webster's company has the distinction of having played for twenty-four consecutive weeks in Rochester, N. Y; sixteen in Milwaukee, twenty in St. Louis, and innumerable weeks in Chicago.
Patrons will find Mr. Webster's characterization of "Izzy" as portrayed throughout the entire series of musical comedies, to be a real classic—a character, one will not tire of. The musical tabloid organization will offer fifty minutes of clean fun, frivolity and foolishment four times each day of the spring season starting at 1:40, 4:00, 6:40 and 9:00 p. m. The opening bill will be "Egyptian Skies". In conjunction with the above the superior selection of the Fox first-run pictures will be offered.
For the entire week of April 8 the booking calls for the incomparable Tom Mix in his newest play of laughs and love, "Romance Land". In addition to the photoplay feature there will be comedies, news reels, etc.
As to prices, any seat will be 50c any night. At the daily matinee, 30c until 6 o'clock. Sunday matinee the night price will prevail and kids will be 10c at any time. All prices will include the war tax.
The house will open at 11:45 a. m. and close at 11:00 p. m.
LINCOLN NEWS
Mrs. Mayme Griffin is reported to be convalescing.
Mrs. Carrie Pulham received a telegram Tuesday announcing the death of her son, Alex, Venerable at the State Hospital of Illinois. She is making arrangements to have the remains returned here for burial.
The funeral of Will Williams, who died about a week ago, was held in Alba Brown's undertaking parlor last Saturday afternoon. Rev. H. W. Botts had charge of the service. His words, "How Are You Living," were quite piercing to the associates of the deceased. Hence many were made to think on their ways.
Mrs. Bell Smith of St. Louis, Mo., is in the city visiting relatives. Mrs. Smith is the widow of the late Edward Smith, whose body was brought here from St. Louis for burial some months ago.
Messrs. John S. Galbrath, Andrew B. Mosley and I. B. Smith were in attendance at the annual meeting of the Council of Deliberation at Omaha last Sunday.
Sunday services at the A. M. E. church were fairly well attended. The pastor preached for his congregation in the forenoon. The Sunday school and A. C. E. societies had good lessons. At night the Heromies of Jercho celebrated Palm Sunday by assembling and having a sermon preached to them. Rev. M. C. Knight gave them a fine discourse which was full of food for thought.
Mrs. E. Bush entertained the Utopion Art Club at her home last Thursday night. An appreciative crowd of members were present. Mrs. Z. John-

son read a paper which was discussed by the members. The Club will give a musical at the church, 23rd and P streets, next Friday night, April 6th Hear Walter White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. of New York City, at the McKinley auditorium, next Thursday night, April 5. Services at Mt. Zion Baptist church were well attended Sunday. The pastor preached wonderful sermons both morning and evening. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. services are gaining in interest. A series or revival meetings are in progress this week and cottage prayer meetings in the afternoons.
For the first time in the history of the city of Lincoln, the G. N. O. O. F. officiated at the laying of a corner stone, which was for the Newman M. E. church last Sunday afternoon. After song and invocation by the chapain, the pastor, A. J. McAlister, narrated his work since coming to Lincoln three years ago. The church was organized in 1896, since which time no corner stone has ever been laid, hence the meeting to celebrate the stone laying, marking the completion of the building as it stands, without a dollar owing on it. We commend Rev. McAlister for his good work in our midst. Rev. H. W. Botts of Mt. Zion Baptist church, made timely remarks. Rev. G. G. Logan, district superintendent of M. E. conference, made some vital remarks which gave all present fresh thoughts. Collection was then taken, after which the Odd Fellows Lodge proceeded to place the stone in position, the service being quite unique. Rev. W. L. Todd was master of ceremonies, and he distinguished himself both in the address he delivered and in the ritualistic work.
Sunday was quarterly meeting day at the Newman Methodist church, Rev. G. G. Logan, district superintendent of Topeka, Kansas, was present and conducted services. There was a fair attendance. Rev. A. J. McAlister announces that he will deliver his closing sermon next Sunday, leaving for the annual conference Monday, April 2nd.

COINS OF EARLY PIONEERS
FOUND IN GRAVEL PITS
Relics of First Settlers Are Unearthed Near a Former Trading Post.
Scores of coins, believed to have been used in this vicinity by Indian traders about 1825, are being found daily in gravel pits near Fond du Lac, Wls. Harking back to the days when Fond du Lac was not even a hamlet, but part of an Indian tertiary whose only white inhabitants were a few scattered traders, George Treleven, county highway commissioner, is exhibiting a collection of silver and copper coins which have been found in gravel pits.
Some of the coins are as large as a silver dollar and others as large as a 25-cent piece. On some of the coins is the inscription, Georgius III D. G. Rex, and on others is inscribed Hibernia. Old settlers here declare that years before this part of the state was settled there was a small trading post at a spring near the present site of Johnsburg. The spring has disappeared.
Although it is not uncommon for early settlement relics to be found in outlying parts of the country, this is the first time such a considerable number of coins reminiscent of the first white invasion have been reported.
FIND BEEF CANNED 1400 B. C.
"Not Wholly Palatable" but Well
Responsible for Exterior Ends
Preserved, Say Egyptian Explorers.
What are believed to be the oldest specimens of canned beef in the world have been discovered by excavators in the tomb of King Tutankhamen at Luxor, Egypt. While is was not wholly palatable, being 3350 years old, the meat is in an excellent state of preservation.
The meat had been embalmed and was contained in elliptical receptacles resembling huge Easter eggs, 40 of which were removed from the tomb amid the deep interest of a crowd of tourists. Still other meats found were haunches of venison, trussed ducks and joints of game. These were packed in wooden boxes, shaped according to the nature of the contents. Noticeable among this discovery was a giant duck.
The excavators also removed four bronze candlesticks of great beauty. One of them contained a perfectly preserved candle.
