A MONUMENT FOR NEGRO SOLDIERS LIFTING LIFT TOO State Historic $2.00 a Year—5 is a Copy is a Copy A MOI FEWER NEGROES BUT MORE WHITES IN GEORGIA JAILS Statistics Show Seevnteen Per Cent Decrease Among Former Group and Thirty Per Cent Increase Among the Latter. REVERSE FORMER CONDITIONS Official Department of Public Welfare Draws Conclusion That Race Is Becoming More Law-Abiding Atlanta, Ga.—That the Negro population of Georgia is becoming more law abiding and the white population less so is indicated by a study of the county jails of the state just made by Miss Rhoda Kaufman, secretary of the state department of public welfare. The study shows that in the last four years the number of Negroes in Georgia jails has decreased 17 per cent, while the number of white inmates has increased 30 per cent. "Some years ago there were on the average two Negroes in jail for each white man," says Miss Kaufman's report. "while now the numbers are almost equal. This is still too high a proportion of Negroes, since the colored population of the state constitutes only about 40 per cent of the total." Continuing, Miss Kaufman says: "The state department of public welfare is working hard to improve conditions in the jails for white and colored prisoners alike. In about one hundred counties local committees of interested citizens have been appointed by the department to make regular inspection of the jails in the effort to see that the prisoners have clean, healthful living conditions and a sufficiency of good food. From literature furnished by the department these committees study the best thought and experience in jail construction, equipment and management, and measure their own jails by the most approved standards. They then make reports and recommendations to the officials responsible for jail maintenance and management. They are accomplishing great good through co-operation with county officials and by the stimulation of public interest in this subject." ERECT STATUE TO UNDER- GROUND RAILWAY HERG Detroit. Mich.—It is quite singular but true that instead of erecting a "black mammy" statue as a monument to the Negro slave as some cities are wont to do, a tablet yas unveiled a few days ago which marks the spot where once stood the famous old Seymour Finley hotel, which was the Detroit station of the "underground railway" through which many slaves passed to freedom. Seymour Finley. proprietor of this hotel and station in defiance of the Fugitive Slave law, housed and fed and secretly passed hundreds of runaway slaves who were able to reach this town over the border into Canada and freedom. COLORED SCHOOLS EXCELLED Washington—Illiterate adults in the state of Delaware are eager students, and in regularity of attendance, colored schools excelled, according to a survey made by the U. S. Bureau of Education. Says the bureau: "Of the 1,014 men and women enrolled during the year in short-term night schools in Delaware, organized to give the rudiments of education to native-born illiterates at the time of their admission, nearly twice as many men as women were enrolled. In all 55 schools were conducted, under the direction of 69 teachers. Ages of pupils ranged from 16 to 82 years. In regularity of attendance, colored schools excelled. In one place at least, where the school house was not wired for electricity, the pupils brought their own lamps and lanterns in order to make night study possible. THE MONITOR MONUMENT TO BLACK SOLDIERS TO GRACE GRAND BOULEVARD Chicago, Ill.—The South Park board, the body which supervises Chicago's boulevard system, has authorized the placing of a monument at Thirty-fifth street and Grand boulevard, commemorating the services of Negroes in the world war. Some opposition had arisen to the site and various white organizations had protested against it, because of a claim that it would prove an obstruction. The committee composed of Commissioner Edward H. Wright, George T. Kersey, Alderman L. B. Anderson, S. B. Turner, and Colonel Otis B. Duncan recently approved the design for the memorial. A soldier of the Eighth Illinois who will be selected by Colonel Duncan will pose for the heroic figure which is to adorn the statue. N. A. A. C. P. URGES QUIZ OF SENATORS ON DYER BILL, VOTE AND SEGREGATION New York, Sept. 23.—The N. A. A. C. P. has announced that in view of numerous inquiries received at the national office concerning the record of candidates for election or re-election to the U. S. senate this fall, the Association was urging colored voters throughout the north to quiz the senatorial candidates and put them on record with regard to the following issues: 1.—The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. 2.—Disfranchisement of colored voters in the south. 3.—Segregation in the government departments at Washington. A statement issued by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. is as follows: "In the fall elections of 1926, the colored voters have an opportunity to show their power and to make that power effective in behalf of the race. "This has been brought home to the N. A. A. C. P. by numerous letters of inquiry asking about the record of candidates for office and seeking our advice about how to vote in the coming elections." "Our reply is very simple: make every candidate for election to the United States senate state unequivocally and plainly what he intends to do, if elected, about the Dyer bill, disfranchisement' and segregation in Washington. As everyone knows, it is the United States senate that has blocked passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, with the result that there have been more lynchings in the first eight months of 1926 than there were in the whole twelve months of 1925. "Our advice to colored voters everywhere, is to vote for the senatorial candidate, irrespective of his party, who answers the three questions in a straightforward and satisfactory manner; and to vote against any candidate who fails to do so. If a candidate's past record does not accord with his promises, demand an explanation. If colored voters will concentrate on these issues, if they will write in large numbers to candidates for election to the senate, if they will force these men to declare themselves. a great step forward will have been taken toward making the votes of Negroes as a group in America, effective." LYNCHING INQUIRY STARTS Richmond, Va.—Governor Byrd has directed the attorney general to be on hand to represent the state at Witheville when the special grand jury summed by Judge Sutherland is sworn in to begin investigation of the lynching of Raymond Byrd, the colored youth, several weeks ago. Attorney General Saunders has designated Leon M. Bazille, one of his assistants, to proceed to Wytheville, and the governor has named Joseph H. Chitwood, former United States district attorney, now at Roanoke, to aid the prosecution. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 24, 1926 SUNSHINE SAMMY SIGNS CONTRACT WITH ORPHEUM Turns Down Movie Contract to Open in Chicago Week of October 11. Hollywood. Cal.—(Pacific News Bureau.)—Arriving home for a few weeks' rest following his latest appearance at the Interstate theatre (Orpheum booking), San Antonio, and the Iris theatre, Houston, Tex., Joseph Morrison and his famous son, "Sunshine Sammy," in a personal interview with a Pacific Coast News representative showed a telegram and contract from the Keough agency, Chicago, engageeing "Sammy" for a 20-week engagement at $500 per week over the Orpheum circuit to open the week of October 11 at the Chicago Orpheum. Several movie deals including the one heretofore mentioned with the DeVillard company were turned down in accepting the Chicago offer. After a few days' rest Sammy and his partner, Harold Bacquett, accompanied by Mr. Morrison, will leave for Chicago. APPALLING MATERNAL MORTALITY Washington—"In the birth registration area for 1921 the Negro maternal death rate was 67 per cent higher than the white rate." The above disturbing fact is brought out in a report just released by the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor. This report, the work of Dr. Robert Morse Woodbury, formerly director of statistical research for the Childrens Bureau, brings together and analyzes all available material, both American and foreign, on deaths of mothers during childbirth and is considered one of the most important pieces of recent research in the field of the bureau's work. Children's Bureau officials feel that it indicates the necessary emphasis during the coming decade in the effort to reduce deaths among both babies and mothers and the bureau outlines a national program for the prevention of maternal mortality and morbidity throughout the United States. This information, giving nationwide publicity to the high death rate among colored mothers, and following so closely the release of statistical data showing the alarming death rate of colored infants, under one year of age, in 90 cities throughout the country, should result in the adoption of a very definite program calculated to remedy a condition which is a reproach and which can be largely prevented through a co-operative effort on the art of our physicians, nurses, editors, ministers, and welfare workers. Dr. Woodbury says that most of the deaths from puerperal septicemia are preventable and that this is the most prevalent cause of death in childbirth. The editors of our leading newspapers have recently and conclusively shown their willingness to render service in this very important matter which so vitally affects the welfare of our racial group. RECREATION CENTER PLANS PAGEANT Philadelphia, Pa.—Mrs. Leona Knox Robinson gave a spectacular pageant entitled "Cinderella in Flowerland," at the playground at Fifty-eighth and Haveford avenue on September 18. The play was enacted by a cast of more than 400 children, all under 12 years of age, and includes children of both races. TUSKEEGE EXPECTS LARGEST ENROLLMENT Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—From the present indications enrollment of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute will show an appreciable increase over that of last year, according to Alvin J. Neely, registrar, who in a statement issued here Friday, said: "During 1925-26 ye had an enrollment of 1,850 students. Applications received indicate that this year we will reach the 2,000 mark." FLORIDA GOVERNOR ACTS AGAINST MOB RULE Sixtry-three Floggings Added to Lynchings and Other Depredations Moves Florida Executive to Action Tallahassee, Fla.—Sixty-three recent floggings, added to the general spirit of unrest created by lynching and nightriding in this section of the state have forced Governor John W. Martin to issue a statement which is meant to hold strict accountability law enforcement officers of Florida who permit mobs to rule. Sheriff R. J. Hancock of Putnam county was recently warned that if he did not get the upper hand of the mob he would be removed, and that the office of sheriff would be filled with other men until a man came who was strong enough to cope with the spirit of lawlessness now existing. The possibility of proclaiming martial law was also indicated. SIXTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE Lincoln, Nehr.—(Special to The Monitor from W. W. Mosley)—The sixth session of the Nebraska annual conference opened in Quinn chapel A. M. E. church, Tuesday morning, September 14th with the Women's Mite Missionary convention. Mrs. P. E. Knight, presiding. The Rt. Rev. A. J. Carey of Chicago, presiding bishop of this district, was the guest of Rev. M. C. Knight while here. The session was taken up with the reports of the missionary ladies, traveling ministers and delegates. There were some thirty-five ministers in this district and about 200 delegates and visitors in attendance at this conference. The reception in honor of the bishop, ministers and delegates was held Tuesday evening. Mayor Zehrung was not present at that time as was planned, but did address the conference Friday morning. At this time he paid tribute to the bishop, and asked him to return Rev. M. C. Knight to this church for another year. Rev. J. B. St. Felix Isaac of Kansas City, Kansas, responded in behalf of the conference, and was well received by all. Each session was well attended by ministers and delegates and large crowds were attracted at night to hear the preaching, addresses and musical numbers. After Sunday morning services the ordination of Elders and Deacons was held. Singing by visiting choristers from Kansas City was fine at noon. At 3 p. m. Bishop Carey presided and gave out appointments to missionary workers. This was followed by the ministers' commissions. These are as follows as they affect the Lincoln, Nebr., district: Rev. John Adams. Presiding Elder of the Omaha district; Rev. I. B. Smith, Nebraska City and Falls City; Rev. T. J. Porter, Grand Island; Rev. M. C. Knight, Quinn chapel, Lincoln. The conference closed Sunday with preachings and great song services. The Bishop, ministers and delegates returned to their homes elated over the hospitality shown them by Lincoln residents. ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA New York.—First recipients of the Alpha Kappa Alpha scholarships of $150 each are Miss Harriet Ida Pickens, 17-year-old daughter of William Pickens, and Miss Elizabeth Beine. Both girls are graduates of Wadleigh High school. The scholarships were awarded for the high scholastic averages maintained by the girls during the four years of their high school training. Miss Pickens is to major in chemistry at Smith college, and Miss Beine, now 16, plans to enter Hunter college, majoring in Latin. KLAN FLUNKS IN COLORADO Denver, Colo.—U. S. Senator Rice W. Means, directing heal of the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado, was defeated for renomination in the recent republican primary, and all other klan candidates, by a ticket composed of antiklan men, led by former Governor O. H. Shoup, who was himself nominated as a candidate for governor. The klan candidates were sponsored by Senator L. C. Phipps, chairman of the republican nation senatorial committee. MARY M'LEOD BETHUNE PAYS TRIBUTE TO HER BENEFACTRESS Vol. XII.—No. 13 RO SOL MARY M'LEOD BETT TRIBUTE TO HI Los Angeles, Cal.—(A. N. P.)—The drama of race relationship, the sisterhood of women, black and white, and the possibilities which may lie before some tattered little Negro girl whom the throng passes by probably never were better exemplified than in the life story behind a dramatic incident during Mary McLeod Bethune's recent visit here. The National Association of Colored Women had concluded their Oakland meeting and had come on to Los Angeles, where the hospitable citizens of this great city had gathered to do them honor in a great meeting and reception. Sitting on the platform beside Mrs. Bethune, who after a term of wonderful accomplishment as president of the organization had been reelected, was a shy and modest little white woman. Perhaps some gave a moment's wonderment as to who she was. To most she was lost in the glitter of the bright, vigorous personalities who adorned the stage. The meeting reached its peak. Mrs. Bethune had made a wonderful address in which she had plead for greater help and support for the under-privileged colored girl. A delegation of club women brought forward in appreciation a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and the audience watched as Mary Bethune gathering them into her arms carried and laid them in the lap of the little white woman who sat there. And then she told a story which riveted the attention of every person in the vast gathering and left scarcely an eye which was not wet with tears. This little white woman was the one who had given Mary McLeod Bethune her chance in life. Miss Mary Crissman is her name. As a child in a Quaker family, she had been taught to give one-tenth of her income to charity. As she grew up and became a school teacher, she continued the habit. The money which she sent into the Quaker fund was appropriated toward the expenses of Mary McLeod Bethune, little Negro girl in the rice fields of South Carolina. Thirty years had passed. Their only communication had been by correspondence, and for many years that had been broken. Just recently Mrs. Bethune had learned that the woman who had with her meagre savings educated her was still living and in Los Angeles. That was why Miss Crissman was occupying the place of honor on the platform. Mary Bethune began to speak gain. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. There she stood, undoubtedly the most outstanding Negro woman in the world today, a college president, a leader of her group, wonderful in her accomplishment, the result of a little investment by this little Quaker girl. And so she plead with the multitude present—rich and poor, white and black—to "invest in a human soul." "Who knows," she said, "it might be a diamond in the rough." LOUISIANA LILY-WHITES WEAKEN New Orleans, La.-The death knell of Lily-Whiteism was sounded in New Orleans Tuesday when in the primary held for members of congress, William C. Harder, president of the Pelican Republican club, whose platform was against the colored man in politics in any manner whatsoever, received 21 votes in the entire first congressional district. Gus Oertling candidate of the regular republican party will go on the official ballot in November. Harder received only one vote in his own precinct. WHITE CHICKEN THIEVES STEAL FORTY CHICKENS Los Angeles—White chicken thieves from a tourist camp at the rear of 1415 Third street, Palomar, entered the coops of A.A. Drikas of that address and made away with forty chickens valued at $60. GROWING THANK YOU! Whole Number 583 DIERS THUNE PAYS ER BENEFACTRESS LACK OF HOSPITALS PRESENTS SERIOUS PROBLEM Chicago.—(A. N. P,)—That there is a serious and dire lack of adequately equipped hospitals for Negroes is indicated by the report of the council on Medican Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association, which shows only eight accredited hospitals operated primarily for Negroes and nine that accept members of our race as internes. The hospitals making up the accredited list are: te John A. Andrew Memorial hospital. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; Freedmen's, Washington, D. C.; Provident, Chicago; Kansas City General, Kansas Cty, Mo.; St. Louis, Mo.; Frederick Douglass Memorial, and Mercy, Philadelphia, Pa.; and the George W. Hubbard hospital, Nashville, Tenn. These institutions, along with the Harlem hospital of New York City, accommodate annually 67 internes, which when compared with the number of young men and women who graduate yearly from the medical colleges of the country, presents a serious problem. Especially is this true in states where at least one year of internship is required for graduation. This lack of hospitals not only affects the medical education of our group, but also the hospitalization afforded Negroes throughout the country. These hospitals listed can accommodate some 1,125 patients, which is far inadequate in spite of the additional patients afforded hospitalization by private sanitariums and county institutions. In the south, the condition is more acute on account of the prejudice which prohibits the admission of Negro patients and the opportunity to Negro physicians to practice in the hospitals. This spirit is rapidly pervading the northern cities and daily Negroes seeking hospitalization at white hospitals are met with the answer, "We are sorry but we have no room." In some of the cities, including Chicago and Cleveland, movements are on foot to acquire hospitals adequately and modernly equipped to meet the demands of the communities and to afford an opportunity for a larger number of graduate physicians to receive internship. WHITE DENOUNCES CLERGY'S ATTITUDE TOWARD RACE Speaking before the 11th biennial session of the National Convention of Congre­ rational Workers Among Colored People in Detroit, recently, Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advance­ ment of Colored People, delivered a scathing denunciation of the attitude on race relations of Christian clergy in the United States. "In the city of Detroit," declared Mr. White, "not one clergyman raised his voice during nine months in which colored people were threatened and attacked, culminating in the case of Dr. Sweet's defense of his home; whereas when Clarence Darrow visited the colored Y. M. C. A. in that city and declared that he could and did drink now just as he did before prohibition, the Presbyterian clergymen met and denounced him." Mr. White further asailed the white branches of the Baptist and Methodist churches in the south as recruiting grounds for the Ku Klux Klan and asserted that the Negro in America was becoming increasingly sceptical of the professions of white Christianity, when these were consistently unaccompanied by any action in accord with the doctrine preached. The address was enthusiastically received by a mixed audience of white and colored clergymen. Mrs. M. F. Singleton was called to New York Thursday by the serious illness of her sister, Mrs. Ida Duval.

HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clearheaded Business Man "COURTESY AND SERVICE" This is the slogan or motto of the Hartman Furniture and Carpet company. And that this policy is carried out to the letter is made evident as soon as one enters the door of this beautiful store with its wonderful display of the latest and most artistic in household furnishings. Courteous clerks pleasantly greet all who enter the establishment. From the courteous and capable manager, Mr. F. R. Connell, to the humblest employee there is the same spirit manifested of everyone on his or her toes to render cheerful, courteous, and painstaking service to all persons irrespective of class or race distinctions. Aside from the dependable goods sold and the liberal terms offered, if the same spirit animates and the same policy prevails in the Hartman stores everywhere, as marks the Omaha store, one can readily understand the tremendous growth and deserved popularity of the Hartman stores. The Hartman store employs a number of colored people and as readers of The Monitor know it is also one of our regular advertisers declaring thereby that this firm appreciates the patronage of our people. "Courtesy and Service" is a good motto not only for a wide awake business firm but also for all people who realize the purpose of life. THE FLORIDA DISASTER The Florida disaster emphasizes the truth of the uncertainty of human life and the consequent necessity of so living that when our summons comes we may be ready to meet it. Calamities of this character should also teach the important lesson of the oneness of humanity and reveal the true perspective of the worthlessness of superficial distinctions based upon material possessions rather than upon character and spiritual ideals. Disasters of this kind bring to the surface the better elements of human nature in the desire to help those that are stricken and in need. CELEBRATES CENTENNIAL CELEBRATES CENTENNIAL We have received and begun to read with pleasure and edification, so voluminous is the publication that we could not read it at one sitting, although we were tempted to try it—the beautiful and fascinating centennial number of the Christian Advocate, one of the few periodicals in the new world which have completed 100 years of continuous weekly publication under same name, in the same place and by the same publishers. This is, indeed, a unique and enviable record. The Christian Advocate is published by the Methodist Episcopal church. The Centennial number tells a fascinating and inspiring story of the work accomplished at home and abroad, by this vigorous and aggressive religious denomination during the 100 years spanned by this publication from September 9, 1826 to September 8, 1926. There have been won- derful accomplishments for Christianity in evangelistic, educational and eleemosynary work. This story is graphically told in this number. The artgravure section is a most attractive feature. It is gratifying to note the outstanding work in all these fields wrought among Negroes, who are given places of honor and usefulness in the denomination, there being representatives of our race on the bench of bishops or superintendents, on the secretarial staff, charged with various responsibilities; on the publication and missionary boards and in the educational field. During sixty years of the centenary under review schools for Negroes have been successfully conducted. In this period more than 200,000 have received instruction in these schools and more than 30,000 have been graduated and undertaken successful careers as teachers, ministers, doctors, dentists and other callings. Each year over 7,000 Negro pupils enroll in the sixteen schools, which include three professional schools, seven colleges, five junior colleges and one high school, conducted by this denomination. This applies to our race. In addition to these there are hundreds of thousands of white youths of the land who are receiving education in Methodist colleges. If you want to read a fascinating story of Christian work get the Centennial number of the Christian Advocate. WANT OUR TRADE Merchants who advertise in our newspapers plainly declare by so doing that they want and appreciate the trade of our people. We are learning to give our patronage where it is appreciated. If you do not see your merchants' advertisements in The Monitor ask him why. Trade only with merchants and firms who show that they are willing to give some patronage to race enterprises as well as receiving it. GRATITUDE That was a fine and touching tribute of gratitude paid by Mrs. Mary MacLeod Bethune at Los Angeles to the quiet little white Quakeress whose gifts of love gave America such a noble and useful woman as Mary Bethune. Little did Miss Mary Crissman dream when she was sending her offering to educate a little black girl in the South what a tremendous dividend her investment would yield. We are not an ungrateful people. STUDENTS INCREASE It is gratifying to note that yearly there is an enlarged enrollment of Negro pupils in high schools and colleges. We are advised that an unprecedented number has enrolled at the University of Omaha. EIGHTY COLORED TEACHERS IN DALLAS CITY SCHOOLS Dallas, Tex.—(Pacific Coast News Bureau)—The fall school term opened in Dallas September 20 with 80 colored teachers assigned to the two high ard seven grade schools in Dallas. J. J. Rhoads is principal of the Booker Washington High and T. D. Marshall principal of the B. F. Darrell High. THE MONITOR LINCOLN PERSONALS Rev. H. W. Botts and Mr. N. B. Ashford returned home from Fort Worth, Texas, last Wednesday where they attended the national Baptist convention. They report $ \alpha $ big attendance and a most profitable session. Mrs. Helen Albrittan and children of Kansas City, Mo., spent Sunday in the city with their aunt, Mrs. H. M. Williams. The Rev. Dr. Horsey of Kansas City, Kansas, filled the pulpit at Mount Zion Baptist church Sunday morning. At the evening session Rev. H. W. Botts gave his church a synopsis of the doings at the national Baptist convention which just closed at Fort Worth, Texas. The Rev. Dr. Kidd of Omaha supplied the sermon instead of Rev. C. R. Ross at the Newman M. E. church Sunday at 11:11 Rev. J. W. Watts of Kansas City preached at 8:00 p. m. The remodeling of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. church as planned by Rev. M. C. Knight and his working members is commendable. The building is much beautified and conveniently arranged. The Rt. Rev. Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago left for his home Sunday evening. Mrs. Gladys Hill left Monday night for her home in Kansas City, Mo., after some weeks visiting her father, Rev. H. W. Botts and family. Rev. J. S. Wilson, presiding elder of Rocky Mountain district of Colorado conference was a visitor here during conference week. He preached to the conference Sunday morning at 11:00 and his words struck the audience powerfully. We were delighted to see so many young men in the conference preparing themselves for the ministry. VIRGINIA PRESS DENOUNCES WYTHE COUNTY LYNCHING Although there is little prospect of anything but a superficial investigation of the recent lynching in Wythe county, Virginia, in which the mob stormed the jail and brutally murdered an imprisoned man, newspapers of the state have been emphatic in their denunciation of the outrage. The N. A. A. C. P. has received clippings from a number of the leading newspapers in which strong statements are made. The Richmond News Leader in an editorial headed "A Dark Disgrace to Virginia" declared: "A drunken mob of savages on a South Sea island could not have been more brutal. Russian 'reds' in the maddest frenzy of their irreligious revolution would have hesitated at such cruelty. Done in the name of 'white supremacy' this crime disgraces a commonwealth that has boasted the patient honesty of its justice." / The Richmond Times-Dispatch, heading its editorial "Law and Order Outraged" writes: "In permitting—or in failing to prevent this lawless execution of a prisoner—Wytheville has openly outraged law and order and it has betrayed its lack of confidence in its duly constituted courts. That is the real pity of this latest lynching, the real danger in such mob murders. It is an attack upon the courts which in Virginia is not justified." Still another editorial admonishes the white citizens of Wytheville not to be moan the bad advertising given to their town but to set themselves resolutely to discovering and punishing the lynchers. The editorial goes on: "Reports from Wytheville are to the effect that neither the town nor county seems to be particularly perturbed over the outrage upon law and justice of which a mob of its citizens is guilty. If those reports be true then Wytheville will not be able to re-establish itself in the esteem of law abiding people by pleading the injustice of its publicity . . . TUSKEGEE DOCTOR WEDS Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—In one of the most fashionable and beautiful weddings ever witnessed at Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Eugene H. Dibble, jr., institute medical director, and Miss Helen Anita Taylor, daughter of Vice-principal and Mrs. R. R. Taylor of Tuskegee Institute, were married in the institute chapel at 8:00 a.m. Wednesday evening, the Rev. John W. Whittaker, institute chaplain, officiating. Immediately following the ceremony, a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents. In the receiving line were the bridal party and Mrs. R. R. Taylor. Forty years ago thousands of girls were working in New York, Chicago, and other cities for $3.00 a week or less. Nova Scotia fishermen continue to catch swordfish, which they are shipping to Boston at the rate of 50 to 60 cases a day, realizing excellent prices. Y.W.C.A. Y. W. C. A.

DECLARES WRITER Writing in the September number of Current History Magazine, Melville Herkovitz of the Anthropology department of Columbia university, reports that a new physical type of Negro is being developed in the United States. Mr. Herskovitz arrived at his conclusion after an examination of 2,000 individuals in Harlem and at Howard university. The results indicate that the U. S. Census figures which state that only 20 per cent of American Negroes are mulatto, understate the amount of mixture which has gone on, and the results obtained by Mr. Herskovitz indicate that probably 80 per cent had mixed ancestry. This figure might be slightly reduced, Mr. Lincoln Market Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! BEATS THEM ALL! 1406 N. 24th.

The new type disclosed by the measurements is tending to become a stable one, he believes, since there is increasing social pressure against associating with members of opposite groups among both Negroes and whites north and south. Mr. Herskovitz instances a recent investigation of illegitimate children conducted in Harlem which showed that in only 7 cases out of 500 were the fathers alleged to be white. Detroitiit, Mich.-The Negroes of this city, fast awakening to a full realization of the power of the ballot, are planning to use this legal weapon to fight the many obstacles strewn in their pathway. For several months Negroes have been grooming Negroes for positions in the state government And the way Negroes here have been registering preparatory to voting in the coming primary election is an indication that they will poll a heavy vote. 1866 Roger William NASHVILLE, Celebrating Its Sixti Roger Williams University NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE celebrating Its Sixtieth Year of Service : promote the development of fine moral character minds and bodies, through a deeply religious which prevails at all times, insistence upon reship and general encouragement of a w ield of athletics.

McGILL FALSELY ACCUSED It was stated by persons living in South Omaha that Eugene McGill, restaurant keeper, had made an agreement with another restaurant keeper (white) that McGill would not serve whites and the white restaurant keeper would not serve colored persons. Mr. McGill heard of the accusation and met Milton L. Hunter, vice president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., who is also chairman of legal redress and legislative committee, and asked that Mr. Hunter go with him to the white restaurant proprietor and get the matter cleared up. The white restaurant keeper flatly denied that McGill had ever made such a proposal, and said that discrimination against colored persons grew out of white patrons objecting to eating with colored persons. Mr. Hunter stated that McGill served all races that entered his restaurant for service, and asked that the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. make public the statement through the Monitor and clear the good name of McGill. THE MONITOR Mrs. Florentine F. Pinkston presented Miss Elaine Smith in piano recital at the Hillside Presbyterian church Friday evening, September 17, before a large and appreciative audience.

ONE DAY'S PAY GOAL SET IN CHEST DRIVE The goal of at least a day's pay from every worker in Omaha for the Community Chest, will be sought in campaign this year as in the past, but with the added endeavor to secure payment at once in cash and in full, it has been announced by W. W. Koller, chairman of the industrial division for the drive. Mr. Koller points out that it will, in the end, be easier for the workers if the payment is made at once instead of in installments over a period of a year, and that it will also result in a considerable saving to the chest cost of collection. By reducing the number of small items payable on the installment plan, the chest headquarters may be able to eliminate one clerk from the staff for the period of a year. Mr. Koller's appointment to solicit the larger factories and business houses for employees' subscriptions, was announced by General Chairman J. E. Davidson along with that of A. W. Gordon, chairman of the committee on initial gifts and Frank Campbell, jr., and Harvey Millikin, joint chairman for solicitation of the business district from Twenty-fourth street to the river, Cuming and Leavenworth streets. Harley G. Moorhead has already been named chairman of residence solicitation, and is at work preparing the card index list of 80,000, who will be solicited. A chairman for the south side business district has not yet been named. The drive will commence November 15. The goal is $430,000. NEW COLORED ORPHANAGE ESTABLISHED IN TEXAS Tyler, Tex—(Pacific Coast News Bureau)—An orphanage for colored children under the direction of S. L. Thomas and J. H.

SIR KAGWA, AFRICAN PRIME MINISTER, RESIGNS Native Ruler Ends 35 Years of Christian Leadership. Momasa, British East Africa—Pacific Coast New Bureau)—After 35 years of active leadership as head of the native cabinet of one of Great Britain's most thriving provinces in British East Africa, Sir Apolo Kagwa, prime minister of Uganda, has resigned. Coming into prominence in 1886 when King Mwanga of Uganda decided to destroy the Christian faith there and to begin a massacre of Christians. Kagwa—then an obscure African chief—with a companion denounced the king. Kagwa's companion was killed, but Kagwa escaped. As a native statesman, administrator and general, leading an army in many of the religious struggles which troubled the land, Kagwa was a great power in the maintenance of the Christian faith, and later took a leading part in the building of the present day Uganda. Sir Apolo Kagwa, now 80 years old, went to England in 1902 at the coronation of King Edward as the official representative of Uganda. Sir Kagwa was also the first African native to be given the K. C.

SIX PERSONS MEET DEATH IN NEW YORK TENEMENT FIRE New York City—A fire starting on the lower floor of a five-story tenement at 420 St. Nicholas avenue, which housed ten colored families, was responsible for the death of six persons. The bodies were burned almost beyond recognition. Two women and a 2-year-old child were injured when they made a desperate leap from the top floor to a subway excavation, and are reported as dying in a Harlem hospital, having had their skulls fractured and suffering from internal injuries. Mrs. Grace E. White of Kansas City, Mo., desires to thank the many friends for kindness shown her mother during her long, and serious illness. Her mother is much improved.

SERVICE "I could not have put neater my own feelings, Master Juggins. When I was a lad not yet of age I risked all I had for the Stuart cause. What came of it? A life of exile that might have ruined me, as it has many a better man. My family's estate was sequestrated; my outlawry was proclaimed. I have no place to lay my head, save it be by the bounty of a foreigner. "Have I secured any moral satisfaction by these sacrifices? At first I thought I had. But when I looked closer I found that I had done nothing for my country. For the Stuarts, yes. But for my country, nothing. "This made me think the harder, Master Juggins. At the beginning I had taken zest in the plots and plans which were aimed to bring about his restoration to power. "But the longer I studied them the more insincere they became. I found my leader a catspaw of foreigners, used to undermine England's prestige. His aims were not the good of England, but his own aggrandizement, the furthering of France's ambitions." "Hast learned that, lad? Why, then, there's no more loyal Englishman in London!" "So you think," I answered. "So I think. But hear me out. I told my feelings to a certain great gentleman who handles affairs at St. Germain. He cursed me for a turncoat, would have ordered his lackeys to flog me from the palace. I left him—in disgrace. The doors of my friends were closed to me. I thought I would make my way to England and begin a new life. "So I applied to the English ambassador for a passport. He laughed at me. Did I think he was so innocent as to be blinded by such transparent trickery? Nay, the Sturarts must seek otherwhere for means to plant a fresh spy in England. In desperation then I bought passage from a smuggler of Dieppe, who landed me three weeks since in Sussex. I made my way to Dorset, hoping to find old friends who would help me to gain a pardon; but I was recognized by one of my cousins who now held Foxcroft house, and he raised a hue and cry after me, fearing no doubt that I sought to regain the estate. "Since then I have been hunted like a beast. My last shilling was spent ```markdown ``` this morning. Tomorrow, had I escaped so long. I planned to sell my sword, and if all else failed to seek a press-gang." "Let us thank God you heard my cries," said Juggins earnestly. "I do," I said, "and with no lack of reverence, my friend, I also thank you." He gave me a keen look. "You call me friend. Do you mean the word?" "Why not?" "I was your father's servant," he said, and he said it so that the words were at once proud and humble. I caught his hand in mine. "You were his friend, too; and who am I an outlaw without name or fortune, to set myself above a man who has prospered like you through the diligence of his own hands and brains?" Master Juggins drew a deep breath and wrung my hand hard. "You'll do, lad," he said. "My help would have been yours on any terms. But you have made it a glad privilege for me to help you. Doubt not we shall find a way. "Now get you to bed. I shall have somewhat to say to you on the morrow." CHAPTER II Before the Lords of Trade How long I might have slept I know not, but the pallid sun that strove to pierce the fog reek proclaimed high noon when Master Juggins waked me. He would not listen to my protestations of regret, but directed my attention to the pile of clothes he carried over his arm. "See, we shall make a 'prentice lad of you," he said. "I have a youth downstairs of about your build, and these are his Sunday clothes." "And must I in truth wear these?" I demanded with some disgust as I felt their coarseness of texture. "Aye, indeed, Master Harry." His tone sobered. "I have been abroad since rising," he continued, "and forgive me if I say 'twas well for you we met last night. Your cousin is come up to London, frantic with fear lest you should succeed in replacing him, and he hath pulled wires right and left, so that all are convinced you are here for no less 'BAR C M y now showing ing Dorothy Ph R C MY showing even othy Phillip "BAR C MYSTERY" CONTEST projects you can find he largest list- Pass 2nd, 2 M Contest Editor, can find begin ist- 2nd, 2 Month Editor, Lak "Why not?" His tone sobered. a purpose than the murder of the king." I cursed with a fluency conferred by two languages. "There is no hope of a pardon now," proceeded Juggins. "I am not altogether without influence, and I had hoped—But 'tis doubly hopeless. If you were Scots or Irish, it might be done. But few of the English gentry besides you and Master Charles rose in the '19. You are a marked man, and with your cousin's interest against you 'twill be impossible even to gain a hearing for you." "There is naught to do, then, save go back to France and the friends who now distrust me." I said bitterly "Never say so," remonstrated Master Juggins with energy. "I have an idea of another course which may commend itself to you. Come, do these poor garments, which will none the less cloak you with safety, and join me in granny's morning room." The coffee which the old lady poured us in blue-bordered china bowls put new life and hope in me. I settled back in my chair and puffed at the long clay pipe which Juggins had filled for me. Granny Juggins gave me an approving pat on the shoulder. "That is well, Master Harry. Worry never solved any difficulty. And now I must be going about my duties; but remember that what Robert tells you hath my indorsement." "And what is that?" I inquired in some curiosity as the door closed behind her. He smoked in silence for several moments. "I am resolved to take you fully into my confidence, Master Harry," he began at last, "and I should not do so if I doubted your discretion." He fell silent again. "Did it not seem strange to you that such an assault as you saw last night should have been made upon an ordinary merchant?" he asked suddenly. "I thought they meant robbery." "Robbery? They never made a demand upon me. They meant murder. The truth is, lad, I am at grips with a deadly enemy. 'Tis a curious story, concerned with high politics, great spoils of trade, intrigues of church and state—mayhap the future of a continent. And as it happens Robert Juggins is at the hub of it. "Do you think you would like to play a hand—on England's behalf and to checkmate the very foreign influences which sickened you of the Jacobite cause? I need a strong arm combined with an agile mind, a mind used to French ways and the French tongue." I would have answered, but he checked me. "If you accept you must be prepared to fight your old friends, for the enemy I have spoken of is Jacobite at heart and works under cover for the return of the Pretender through the weakening of England and the paramount influence of France. Remember that before you commit yourself." "Even as I told you last night, Master Juggins, I am for England now." I answered. "If such a plot as you speak of is under way, then surely 'tis for loyal Englishmen to thwart it. Count me with you, I pray." THE MONITOR "I will," he said quietly. "Now have to these facts. At the instance of myself and my associates in the Company of Merchant Traders to the Western Plantations, the provincial government of New York several years ago secured the royal assent to a law prohibiting the sale of Indian trading goods to the French in Canada. "Our object was twofold. The best and cheapest trading goods are manufactured in England. If we can keep them to ourselves and compel the French to use more costly and less durable goods made on the Continent we shall be able to underbid them with the Indians. So the fur trade will come more and more into our hands." Juggins leaned forward and tapped me on the knee. "North America," he went on, "is the richest land in all the world—how rich it is or how vast no man knows. 'Twil require centuries to exploit it. Since first we colonized there we have contended with France, not only for further power, but for the actual right to breathe. Our two countries cannot agree to divide this domain, limitless though it be. Sooner or later one must oust the other. "The fur trade is the key to it all. It is so, because neither the French nor we are yet sufficiently powerful to ignore the strength of the Indian tribes. The fur trade is the source of the savages for securing trade goods. They will be bound closest to the country which gives them the best terms. If we can deprive the French of the ability to buy their goods as cheaply as we do, then we shall be able to trade to better advantage with the Indians and so increase their friendship for us. At the same time the volume of the provincial trade will be increased." "I see," I answered. "But you spoke before of a twofold object in depriving the French of the right to obtain trade goods through New York?" "So I did, and that brings me to the enemy whom I mentioned. Heard you ever in Paris of one Murray—Andrew Murray?" I shook my head. "I heath connections with the French, and, too, with the Jacobites; but they would be well covered, no doubt. Murray owns the Provincial Fur company of New York, which is the largest of all the trading agencies. He hath set himself deliberately to drive out of existence all the independent traders and secure the entire trade for himself. The trade with the French in Canada likewise is in his hands. "Before the provincial government passed the prohibitive law of which I spoke, he carried on this trade openly, and the French traders, helped by a government subsidy, more often than not underbid our traders—using English goods, mind you, for the purpose. And then the French traders would sell their skins in the London market at a lower price than our own traders could afford to charge. FOR RENT—One three-room apartment neatly furnished.
