H., passed into its eternal rest, after a short illness of pneumonia. He was well known in Firmville and was liked by all who knew him. For years he was head of a large garage at Charlotte C. H., having learned the trade at St. Paul Normal School Lawnville. Mr. Joffersess was the founder of the Great Order of Moses. His death was a very blessed and happy one fully conscious to the end, he bid his family good-bye and spoke words of assurance and comfort. His parting words were a great sermon in themselves and great comfort to the bereaved family. Besides a moth and mother he leaves a wife and baby; for the rest of his life Joeffers of Philadelphia, Pa., Joe of Brooknell, Va.; James of Charlotte, Va., Clento of Pittsburgh; and four sisters Mrs. Tubby Jones; of Charlotte C.

It is all right to demand one's rights, but there is a proper way to do it. Persons who have had the influenza start in another direction, when ever you speak of it. President Wilson has already found out that European travel at this time is neither profitable nor helpful. --- Colored men, who have been in the army have had a taste of stern discipline and military politeness. Let them continue the practice in private life. It will be a long time before the churches will be closed again. Influenza caused an act that has astonished this section of the country. If churches and other organizations continue to elect delegates to attend the Peace Conference, it will be cheaper to charter a special steamer to carry the party than it will be to pay the regular steamship fare. Prayer is very consoling during an egg-nogless Christmas. To the average old time Virginian, it is time to look to God. There is no use looking anywhere else. --- Some one broke into Dr. Sheild's drug store which place Commissioner Peters designated as official headquarters to dispense liquor on a doctor's prescription and stole all the liquor last Saturday night, Dr. Sheild is more anxious to get the burglar than he is to get the liquor, but he would like to get both. --- Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham comes forth with the announcement that Holy Trinity Baptist Church not only gave him nearly two thousand dollars in money as a result of a recent testimonial, but also decided to pay him four thousand dollars per year salary. It seems to us that Dr. Graham was called to preach—and to get money. His work has been phenomenal and so is the salary. He is one of the greatest pulpit divines in this country. --- The Fifth Street Baptist Church, which Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham at one time pastored will naturally make some enquiries as to what can be done in the way of recognizing and compensating the present brilliant young divine, who is presiding over its destinies and money. The time is rapidly approaching for the New Year's budget. "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" President E. W. Moore, of Columbus, Ohio and William Monroe Trotter, of Boston, Massachusetts, with the fiery assistance of that queen of agitators, Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, of Chicago, staged a great meeting this week at Washington, D. C. Whether the delegation selected ever gets outside of the harbor of New York matters little, so far as the merits of the contention are concerned. The world has taken note of the effort. The colored people of this country have grievances and this fact is now known. Just what those grievances are will also be known in du time. The movement to send delegates to France seems to have met with spontaneous favor. Many others have been elected by independent bodies. It is to be hoped that they will act together and not show to the world the spirit of division that has so long disgraced us as a race of people. THE FINAL CONCLUSION The Joint Peace Commission, consisting of representatives from the National Baptist Convention, Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., President; the National Baptist Convention, Rev. E. P. Jones, D. D., President and the Southern Baptist Convention, Rev. J. B. Gambrel, D. D. (white) President met at Nashville, Tennessee, December 12, 1918 and succeeded in approaching the outskirts of the domain of peace, so far as the two warring bodies are concerned. The concessions made by the Convention presided over by President Morris would have brought peace, had not the other side determined not to have it. The points at issue are so obscure and unreasonable as to make any further caviling over the matter ridiculous. President Morris and his Commission agreed to concote every demand made by the other side. The demand that the provisions of the agreement to which both sides had subscribed and which originated with President Jones and Dr. Boyd should be carried out before even peace upon the basis of a reunited National Baptist Convention could be considered was, to say the least, unreasonable. The appeal is now to the Baptist colored people of the United States, who want peace. The National Baptist Convention, incorporated, through its Commission has conceived all that the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, demanded. Why then should there be further cause for a division? A peculiar situation was presented at Nashville, Tennessee. Rev. E. P. Jones, President and Rev. R. H. Boyd declared that the National Baptist Publishing Board was not under the control of either National Baptist Convention and should be left out of the question. They denied that either body could direct or control it in any way, and then when the demands of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, were laid on the table, they contained a provision requiring the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, to dismiss a suit against a body over which neither Convention is alleged to have control. The question naturally arises, what right had this Convention to make any such demand in the light of its own argument? Still, in the interest of peace and harmony, the National Baptist Convention proceeded to agree to do this and then the other body would not have peace. The very able Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd, through that masterly organizer and parliamentarian, Rev. Dr. E. P. Jones controls the other Convention absolutely and they demanded that there should be no peace unless the National Baptist Publishing Board's interests were protected. The indications are that the rank and file of the National Baptist Convention, backed by the white Southern Baptist Convention will get together upon the basis outlined at that Nashville meeting. Concessions have been made and these concessions will prove to be the undoing of the other side. Personal and corporate interests must give way in the face of the public demand that this kind of agitation cause. We think the meeting at Nashville has blazed the way to peace. President E. C. Morris and his friends saw the storm rising and they conceded all that could be conceded and got out of the way. It is the turn of the other side now and in a very few months, the communion service will take place, egretly, but with the distinguished Tennessee churchman left out. There is absolutely no further excuse now for two separate National Baptist Conventions. Selah. MAYOR AINSLIE'S "CABINET." In the naming of his "cabinet," Mayor George Ainslie has in some respects disappointed his friends and surprised his enemies, while taking a long stride in the direction of a political triumph when he comes up again for re-election. In view of the material from which he had to choose, his nominations are practically above criticism at the hands of the impartial observer. If Colonel William M. Myers, the choice for the Department of Public Safety cannot bring order out of chaos in the Police Department, we hardly think any one else in this city, who would accept the job could do it. As for Hon. Charles E. Bolling, his name carries with it a guarantee of efficient service. Hon. E. W. Trafford is in the same class. Mayor Ainslie was seeking for efficient public servants and he has found them. Personally and politically THE BICOMMON PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA speaking, we do not believe that the gentlemen chosen were his first selections, but he evidently put his personal feelings in the background and anticipated the criticisms of his critics. To our mind, His Honor has done well. If Richmond cannot now succeed under the new plan of City Government, the fault is in the plan and not in the capable men, who have been selected to put it into execution. What has been said about the Mayor is applicable too, to the City Council. Hon. H. R. Pollard, Sr. has displayed rare legal ability and has ranked with the leading jurists of the United States. The Department of Law has a dean of which we can all feel proud. For efficiency, Mr. H. C. Cofer is noted and the conclusion of the appointments was as meritorious as the beginning. EQUAL RIGHTS CONGRESS SENDS DELEGATES TO VERSAILLES. (W. Dorondo Edington, Reporter.) Washington, D. C., December 19. The National Colored Congress for World Democracy conducted by the National Equal Rights League closed its four days session at high noon last Thursday, with the election of eleven Peace Potitioners, to be sent by the colored people of the country to Versailles, to present the petition of the race for the abolition of all undemocratic restrictions. They also adopted a public address to their country and to the world, in which it is stoutly maintained that by virtue of the military and moral settling of the war upon a world basis, every denial or violation of justice, humanity and democracy, both for nations and for individuals has become a matter for corrections and abracation on a world basis by world courts. Hence, Colored Americans who furnished 460,000 brave soldiers for this war, backed by over 14,000,000 loyal citizen soldiers, without a traitor appeals to the Allied World for justice and democracy in the Peace Settlement at Versailles. This public address also urges in order that the tremendous material and the equalling human losses of this world war may not be without result for good, we appeal to the Peace Conclave to grant self-determination and rights, without discrimination to all of the darker races. The specific demand is for the abolition of autocracy of race against persons of color everywhere and the discontinuance of prescription based on color, civic, political and judicial in every nation as an article of the Peace Agreement in order that the world may be reemade on the basis of the enforcement by every human belief of world democracy. Each State is to contribute the minimum of $500, to be sent to Thomas Walker, 506 Fifth Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. by December 28, 1918. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT BASS IS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED. Conflicting reports reached here as to the fate of Lieutenant U. F. Bass, who was severely wounded, while in action in the advanced trenches during the last drive of General Porshing up the Mouse. On the day of October 4, Lieut. Bass, had both of his less blown off by a German shell and it was at first reported that he was killed instantly. Then news was received that he was in a French hospital. The following telegram confirms the sad intelligence of his sacrifice for democracy: "Mrs. Maude L. Bass, Frederickburg, Va.,—Douely regret to inform you that it is officially reported that Lieut. U. F. Bass, infantry, died October 7, from wounds received in action. "HARRIS, Adjutant General." Lieut. Bass was the son of Rev. R. J. Bass, pastor of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, this city. JUDGE SPEER DIES IN GEORGIA Macon, Ga., December 13.-Judge Emory Speer of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia died in a hospital here at 9 o'clock tonight. Judge Speer underwent an operation last Wednesday for gall stones, which the surgeons announced as "serious." He had been ill for three weeks, and his physicians had made preparations to take him to a Baltimore hospital for the operation. His condition became critical, however, and early this week it was decided to perform the operation in a local institution. A rally after the operation was folowed by a salking spell and the condition of the jurist had grown increasingly alarming until the end came. Judge Speer was born at Culloden, Georgia, September 3, 1848. Despite his age, however he had been extremely active during the last few months. He was conscious to the last and recognized those about him. He is survived by his widow one sister and five daughters. Judge Speer will be buried in Macon. Enlisting in 1864, Judge Speer served until the end of the war as a private in the Fifth Kentucky (Orphan Brigade). After the war he entered the University of Georgia and was graduated from that institution in 1869. Judge Speer served four years as a solicitor-general in Georgia (1873-76) and he had served two terms in Congress. SPECIAL PROGRAM AT FIFTH STREET B. Y. P. U.

Notes Santa Claus Writes That He Is On His Way Here. Mount Cradle, Tasmania, British Possession in the far-away Indian Ocean, midway between Moonlight and Gray Dawn, on a Tuesday Morning, December 3, 1918. My Very Dear Children of the United States of America: I feel it a duty incumbent upon me at this time to write you of the state of my mind, my robust health and where I am. Yes, I'm in Mt. Cradle and have been here since now moon in September. I am 5070 feet above sea level—roosting high, I came here to rest, but if you could see my mail you would wonder twice, first, where is the rest; second, how came it that I had time to write to you all. I get mall various ways. Some sleigh-riding, some air ship flying, some vessel sailing, some by postman some, by air pressure and some by railroad. Yes, I am really stuck on this entire vicinity. The weather is always pleasant this time of year, neither too hot nor too cold—kind of between the sap and bark. I am planning to give you all a fine time this Christmas 'cause you have your little bubbles. You have many things to be thankful for, viz. First place, you are real glad you were not born sooner than you were, else you might have had to burrow under foreign soil. Secondly, you are sure-enough happy that some of your brothers were ignorant of military tactics, so they would spend much time drilling. Thirdly, you are glad that you have become a stockholder in your Uncle Sam's business. Mind what you "bout! Look in them bureau drawers and count them War Savings Stamps and ask papa and mamma when is that interest due on those Liberty Bonds. Fourthly, you are some more glad that our boys answered to their names and crossed the briny deep, bearded the lion in his den, made the earth tremble with their bravery, whipped the crafty hun, planted Old Glory on the banks of the Rhine and are now returning home with palms of victory. I thought as a means of recreation I would take a trip to Nowtown, a few miles away, but to my surprise and regret there happened an awful wreck of our "Tasmania Limited." The cause of the wreck was that when the train reached Bear Creek bridge the engineer found that he was running forty-five minutes later. To gain time and catch up with the schedule he increased the speed up to seventy miles per hour, twice as fast as he promised to run when he was given the job. A through passenger who felt it his bounding duty to know why the train was running at such break neck speed, climbed on top of the train and made his way to the ecuencer. Peeping underneath the cab he said, "Hello, Mr. Foreman, what is the matter with your family—sick at home, or what is the matter?" To him the engineer said, "I am running late and I don't know what will happen if I remain late." But I guess after he saw that wreck—such a sight, fruit, vegetables, milk, butter, Christmas toys, piled up on the right of way and a score or more of injured persons, then it was that the engineer knew what had happened. The injury to me was slight. The third joint of my middle finger was displaced and the use of it was misplaced and up to this time it has not been found. I am plumbing to put in a bill of rights and privilege for external injury. Offhanded at long range I beg to advise your entire crew to have everything ready against my arrival. The smaller the kid the larger the shocking. Clean out your chimneys and write your name plain so that it can be easily read by candle light. Prepare yourselves for bed as never before sleep sound and dream of what is expected to be. I am planning to leave here by the light of the moon on Saturday, December 7, 1918. I have the situation well in hand and feel sure that it will be all smiles in the sweet bye and bye. I felt exceedingly fine last evening. Having had my dapple gray rigged up I went a shopping. Suddenly, without warning I struck Main Street and after passing several screen doors I stopped at a store with those words engraved away up on the sun light. "A bargain house. Cheap for cash and low-down at that." I walked in and a very polite and anxious looking gentleman advanced towards me saying, "Can I do anything for you, old man?" To him I said, "I don't know whether you can or not. You may not have the proper use of your limbs. What say you?" I said I. "I'm at your service," said he. No sooner than said I had him on the roof of that building packing up stuffed elephants, tin horns, toy planes, airplanes, machine guns, gatling guns, dolls suitable for the different races, submarines, pullman sleeping cars ready for immediate use, tanks in case of war, household furniture, fruits, candies and inmining jacks. After he and 200 clorks for five days had packed them up, said I to him, "What is your bill, Mister "Your bill," said he, "is $583,024.16." I was some surprised. I did not have but $583,000 and for a time I came near fainting. The balance due on the Christmas bill to make you all happy was $24.16 which I raised by the income tax method. Now, dear children, you see from this that I am in shape to satisfy the most fictious among you. I am glad I have the opportunity to pack up and at the same time relish in mind how during the stillness of the night when even the old field owl is snoozing I will be all up against it for a careful search from house to house to find signs of those who love me and thought of me. Rev. W. C. Summers, of Adams Run, S. C. was in the city recently enroute to Cheraw, S. C. to attend the M E. Annual Conference that was scheduled to open there today, but he learned after reaching hero that it had been postponed. He is pastor at Wesley Chapel, St. James and St. Paul. "But," said I. "Rev- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA orend, you left several saints behind you. In your disappointment, you don't feel much like a saint, do you?" No, professor, that I don't. I have spent $5.00 to see your city before I was ready." Then I said, "I shall send in a charge against the Presiding Elder." "No! No! He is a fine follow. It is just an oversight." Mr. Willie Haite, of the U. S. Navy spent a few days here recently visiting his brother, Wendell Haite, Mr. Haite has been connected with the Navy for six months and has seen many sights in many lands. His best girl is very glad the war is over and he is still on top. Mr. Charles McWillie, from Camp Wheeler, Ga, and Mr. Tuckey Mc London, from Camp Green, Charlotte N. C. passed through the city enroute to their homes in Latta and Fork, S. C, respectively. The M. E. Annual Conference is in session here this week. Yos the older members of the poultry tribo had a meeting last week here and decided to hoycott them. A society lady passing through here recently, speaking of a certain gentleman said, "Professor, I have not seen Mr. W. since I wore short dresses." "Is that so," said I, "and I judge that was not yesterday." There were two young men in the waiting room at the A. C. L. station, Pullman porters from Ohio. To me one said, referring to a man at the ticket window, "Professor, what do you think of that suit?" "Just to think of it," I said, "we are thinking almost of the same age, you I am thinking of the same age in the suit." I saw he was meditating deeply. So I said to him, "A penny for your thoughts." But all at once he could not think of his thoughts, so I left him so that his thoughts could return. Then as I felt that it had returned, I said, "Should I offer you a penny for your thoughts, how much change would you die?" "I am thinking about a certain root doctor. Is he any good?" "I am not in position to tell you," said I. "What is your trouble?" "I have been poisoned in my heart," he said, "and only a root doctor can reach it." The Joint Stock closed its annual session here last Saturday. They decided to increase the annual treasury dues forty percent. Mrs. M. A. Thomas, of Quitman, Ga. passed her enroute to Springfield, Mass. She was returning from a visit to her mother. Mr. W. E. C. Washington, of Charleston, S. C. passed her returning home, having spent a few days here with his wife, Mrs. Henrietta Washington, at the home of her uncle, Mr. P. R. Brown, 105 Hampton Avenue, N. Florence. Miss Leona Mate Webster, of the City Graded School, was mildly in formed by some of her city admirers that the Christmas presents last year and the one before were O. K, but don't send the same kind as she had been doing two Christmasmas in succession. Guess the writer and others may sit up and take notice accordingly. SHAW DEFEATS BIDDLE 34-15 IN BASKET BALL GAME. Shaw opened the basket ball season here by defeating Biddle University Friday night, December 13, by the score of 34-15. Llew. Horace G. Wilder, commanding officer S. A. T. C., Shaw officially started the season with timely speech. There was music throughout the game by the Shaw Orchestra under the leadership of Mr. James Jones. The first points were registered by Biddle against Shaw and for a few rounds the score was 5-0 for Biddle. During this time the Biddle roots who were the graduates and students of Biddle in Raleigh and the senior class of St. Augustine went wild but their hopes were short lived. Captain Cooke got his team to working and the score was 12-6 at the end of the first half. There was nothing spectacular about the game save the stellar work of Cooke and Mowery for Shaw, although Bone, Nance and Johnson, Alpha players of New York, did splendid work but there was nothing stellar about their putting. Shaw plays Livingstone in Raleigh New Year's night. BIG RALLY AT THE CITY HALL CHRISTMAS DAY.

Leroy Fuller, colored alleged to have burglarized the residence 632 North Ninth street, where he is said to have fired a pistol over the sleeping place of an infant, and carried off $25 in currency was sent to the grand jury by Justice Crutchfield this morning. During the hearing of the case Lawyer Jacob Cohn and Detective Louis Fertucci engaged in an altercation, the result of which was that the detective found himself in contempt of court to the extent of a $10 fine. The argument arose over a pair of old shoes and an equally as old sweat, which were found by the detective and which were to be used as evidence in the case. The lawyer seured possession of the articles and in the efforts of the detective to recover them he brought the displeasure of the judge upon his head. The little affair caused much ex- cuse in the police court room and was sufficient to arouse Captain A. B. Gulgon to a speech of regret that such a ruling should occur in the pres- ence of the justice. (News Leader, December 11, 1918.) COLORED FOLES ELECT PEACE DELEGATES. Washington, D.

JX NEGROES SPURNED HUN. Promised Part of United States, Lester Informs Senators. WERE TO STIR UP TROUBLE German Lutheran Pastors Used to Preach Love of Fartherland. Compilation of Chicago Tribune Editorials Traced to Henry Ford. Hearst Cartoons Introduced. --- The story of how enemy propagandists used German Lutheran pastors to preach love for the fatherland and devotion to its cause and tried in vain to stir up Negroes in the Unit Ed States with reports that if German many won part of this country would be assigned exclusively to them was told yesterday to the Senate commit too investigating propaganda by Captain George B. Lester of the army intelligence service. The witness also continued his testimony of Friday, seeking to show "pro-German anti-English and anti-Amorican" policies of William Randolph Heearst's news papers, as directed by William Bayard Hate. Heeart correspondent at Berlin after the breaking of relations with Germany. The hearing will be resumed Tuesday, when several men whose names have been mentioned by witnesses dur ing the inquiry, including Samuel Untermyer, of New York will be heard. Some German Lutheran preachers spitad the doctrine promoted by the German government both before and after this country entered the war, Captain Lester, decked, and a few who continued these utterances after joining the army are now in prison. Many church leaders recognized the pro-German tendancies of the minis ters and tried assiduously to have them removed the officer explained. The efforts to stir up race trouble among American Negroes failed, said Captain Lester but it persisted until a Congress of Negro leaders in July last formally recognized the propagan da and denounced the movement. SUBSIDIZED BY HUNS. With reference to the Negro incident Captain Lester said that Negroes in many communities had been sub sized by the German agents to spread propaganda. Von Reiswitz a German consular agent at Chicago, had charge of it, and he was aided by German Minister von Eckhardt, at Mexico City, who the witness said spread German propaganda among the Mexicans and halfbreeds in the border States. A message from Hale to the New York American which was not read, informed the paper that the disclo- sures made by the exposure of the Zim- merium note that Germany planned an intrigue against the United States through Mexico, by which the latter country would be given territory from the United States was regarded in Germany as a failure on the part of Zimmermann. "This shows that Germany did not regard the Zimmermann note as a frame-up by the British," Captain Loster said. Waymuth Kirklan, a representative of the Chicago Tribune appeared before the committee to explain a compilation of excerpts from editorials appearing in the Tribune before the United States went to war with Germany. Kirklan said the compilation was by Attorneys representing Henry Ford, the Detroit manufacturer, who has a suit pending against the Tribune and that the apparent purpose was that the compilation would reach prospective injurers. Mr. Kirklan did not object to its being made a part of the record but said he desired the committee to know by whom it was compiled. TELEGRAM FROM HALE. One telegram from Hate to the New York American dated March 1, 1917, after the severance of relations said: Precisely what is Mr. Wilson's idea of armed neutrality present day unknown here.***Thus suddenly to assert rights of neutrals apparently against Germany after having two years submitted British pretensions pule scas contuses European mind, President's idea arm merchant ships arouses profound astonishment as arming merchants undoubtedly places them in category of combatants which legitimate prey. Berlin isn't without information of famous Sultan law and wonders why American President so far departs from usages deemed necessary even by Tammany as to legitimate possession and use private weapons." The Sultan law, Captain Lester explained is a New York State statute forbidding carrying of concealed weapons. CARTOONS ART INTRODUCED Senator Sterling read into the rec ord editorials from the New York American and other Hearst papers and produced cartoons which the sought to show by questioning Cap tain Lector wore "pro-German, anti-English and anti-American." He produced one cartoon published in the New York American on July 2, 1917 just after the first Liberty Loan show ing an American Beauty rose bearing money bags in its heart with insects flying overhead with flags of the allies as wings and another published in a German language newspaper June 18, 1917 showing Columbia pouring gold into Uncle Sam's hat while the British Ilon was extracting it by a hose. A cartoon published April 16, 1917 ten days after the United States de clared war pictured John Bull asking an American army officer, "Are you training these boys to fight for me over here?" and receiving the officer's reply. "They are trained to fight for the American nation on ly." SAVE THE PLANET COUPONS AND GET A PRIZE Neville W. W.

Some of them, though, like to save money and they are saving it. The high price of fuel and food takes much of the money that is received. Go to the bank to draw out money and go to the same place to put it in again. It is true that the industrial outlook is bright for many years to come, but many temporary plants are closing down. You may be fortunate enough to be employed by one that keeps at work, but save your money just the same. Buy property. It does not matter how much it cost, if it is a good investment and the person who owns it will sell it to you on a long-time payment. You should provide for your wife and children if they will not provide for themselves. Insurance is all right and will pay you in the long run, but cash money to your credit in a savings bank is better. You are not required to get sick in order to get it. Remember the undertaker's wagon is busy. If some of those people had money at the time, they might have gotten what they needed and avoided the necessity of riding in a hearse instead of in a pleasure carriage or automobile. Start saving today. JOHN MITCHELL, JR., President, Mechanics Savings Bank. JOHN MITCHELL, JR., President, Mechanics Savings Bank. BUY WAR SAVING STAMPS Buy THRIFT Stamps. THE BANK OF NEW YORK THE MECHANICS SAVINGS BANK HAS BEEN NAMED BY THE UNITED STATES TREASURY DEPARTMENT AS A WAR SAVINGS DIVISION. N. W. CORNER THIRD AND CLAY STREETS RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY SATURDAY...DECEMBER 21, 1918 PEACE COMMISSION (Continued from the First Page.) Churches of the other side. He charged that the other side had rushed into court and had drawn a gun in their faces. He became very bitter in denouncing the action of President Morris and the National Bundled Convention. He became involved in a controversy with Chairman Gambrel, but this was spoonily settled. SPOKESMAN MOSES SPEAKS PLAINLY. Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D. then spoke on the part of the National Baptist Convention. He would base his remarks not upon the address of Rev. Dr. John H. Frank, but upon the written statement submitted by Chairman Woods. He claimed that the report did not show that the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated had unanimously rejected the Joint Peace Commission's agreement. He declared that the principles so laid down by the Little Rock Convention constituted the basis upon which the two bodies could get together. He analyzed the resolution and dwelt on the fact that the resolutions as adopted declared that they wanted peace over the country. He declared that there was no reason to doubt that they could get together upon the basis of those resolutions. ALL AGREED TO RESOLUTIONS. He called attention to the fact that they all agreed in those peace agreements. He declared that the Little Rock Convention had shown a two spirit. He declared that credit should be given to President Jones and his friends for the resolutions he made for the convention. He gave a detailed account of the split and declared that he was in the original group that fought the charter and Rev. Dr. Morris at Chicago. He made a telling appeal for peace, but created a sensation when he declared that if the other side agreed to go on their boilies and grovel, begging for peace, they were mistaken. THE PARTING THREAT. It would be, "War to the knife and knife to the hilt." Before using this statement, he said that his side was ready to dismiss all of the suits and to do all in their power for union. A SPIRITED DISCUSSION. A spirited discussion took place between Rev. Dr. Frank and Rev. Dr. Moses. Others joined in and finally it was decided that a committee of five from each side meet in joint session to consider propositions and to see if an agreement could be reached. It had been previously decided that all propositions offered in the meeting should be passed by each of the commissions separately. Those appointed on the Commission were as follows: From the National Baptist Convention, Rev Dr. E. C. Morris, President; Rev Dr. T. O. Fuller, Memphis, Tenn.; Rev Dr. E. C. Morris, Helena, Ark.; Rev Dr. L. L. Williams, Chicago, Ill.; M. M. Rodgers, La Grange, Texas, and John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond, Va. From the National Baptist Convention, Rev Dr. P. Jones, President; Rev Dr. P. P. Jones, Mississippi; Rev Dr. J. W. Hurse, Missouri; Rev C. H. Clarke, Tennessee; Rev E. R. Carter, D. D., Georgia and Rev. Dr. John H. Frank, Kentucky. THOSE "FRANK" RESOLUTIONS. Each side seemed to be shy of the other. Finally, Rev. Dr. Frank laid down upon the table the written demands of the side that he represented. It read as follows: "In harmony with Dr. Frank's address we respectfully propose the following prerequisites to harmony, peace, Christian fellowship and mutual helpfulness: "A. The dismissal of the lawsuits pending in Chicago and in Nashville. B. The practice of the usual conciliation with visiting pastors and corresponding messengers. Baptist associations in Baptist Churches. C. The discontinuance of the un-Baptist method of receiving persons into membership of Baptist Churches. Item II. For the furtherance of the un-Baptist mission, we respectfully suggest that the Washington charter be withdrawn." "Item III. Relative to the establishment of the National Baptist Theological Seminary, we respectfully suggest that a representative, joint committee, representing the two colored Conventions, the Southern Baptist Convention and the interested northern white Baptists be asked to canvass the entire field, compare advantages and disadvantages deciding the most desirable site. Further facilitating consideration looking at the convention we respectfully suggest that suitable committees be appointed to adjust the debts,—obligations of the Convention, if there be any, and to arrange for the unification of the Boards of the Conventions." A PRELIMINARY REQUIREMENT The preliminary requirement relative to "prorquisito" was vigorously opposed by M. M. Rodgiers. John B. H. H. Rodgiers was he passed by and the main profile ions be considered and after that part of the proposed document had been agreed upon, the joint committee could then go back and consider the other provisions to which an objection had been made with a view to reaching a compromise agreement. This course was agreed upon, but not before the Jones element had demanded that the Morris side present their written statement. Finally M. M. Rodgers presented a written statement in the behalf of the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, provided the other side conceded the right of the united body to control its own boards. This was termed, National Baptist Convention denominational control. WANTED NO UNION. Rev. Dr. Frank would not agree to him and so each section was passed up until the final vote from the National Baptist Convention, incorporated agreeing to every provision. Then the first provision was taken up as to the time. Editor Mitchell stated that he did not see any reason for a controversy on this point. When the time came the decision the management could be reached and the transaction take the form of a simultaneous transaction. Rev. Dr. Jones' side had not made a single concession, while the Rev. Dr. Morris' side had accepted practically everything that the other side had done from the Joint Peace Commission for a report and finally they all went in and made a report. AN OBJECTIONABLE PREAMBLE The Jones-Boyd slide desired to confer upon the report and after much time consumed came back with Rev. Dr. John H. Frank's resolutions insisting that the preamble, which carried with it the objectionable word, "proequisite" be included, Dr. Halley (white) was called upon to take the action that it could be construed to nullify any action until the requirements had been complied with. The Morris slide then pleaded that the "pro" be left out, so as to read requisite, but Rev. Dr. Jones and Rev. Dr. Boyd refused to consider such a proposition. Then the white delegates came forward with resolutions that they had drawn up for just such a contingency. They are as follows: "A suggested basis of reunion, made by the Commission from the Southern Baptist Convention to the Joint Commissions of the two National Baptist Conventions: "I. That the constitution of the National Baptist Convention be so amended as to make it a representative body, representing Baptist Churches, Associations, Societies or Conventions. "II. That all the Boards of the Convention shall be subject to the control of the Convention by such means as the Convention itself shall determine. "III. That where it is necessary in order for the safe-guarding or management of the business of the Boards, any Board of the National Baptist Convention shall be incorporated under the regulation of the National Baptist Convention. "IV. That the charter which is now objected to by the National Baptist Convention 'unincorporated' shall be annulled and vaulted by those who procured it. "V. That when the above terms have been occupied and confirmed, the present law-suit shall be with drawn. "VII. All interests as fostered by each Convention at present shall be ceded for on an equitable basis. "VIL. The question of the Negro Baptist Theological Seminary with all of its interests shall be referred to the remitted Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention to be established and fostered as originally planned. We, the Commission from the Southern Baptist Convention so far as we represent the Southern Baptist Convention, pledge our services and the Convention to assist and cooperate in the founding and maintaining of the Negro Baptist Theological Seminary. "We recommend the spirit and the purpose of the Montana agreement as a basis for reuniting the two Conventions. "E. Y. MULLINS, Chairman "O. L. HAILLE, Secretary. "J. B. GAMBRELL. "A. U. BOONE. "BEN. COX." WHITE PRESIDENT RETIRES IN DISGUST. Even after the dinner hour the discussion was continued. Finally, plan was made that the distinguished President of the Southern Baptist Convention should be treated with more respect and consideration. He had been a humiliator however, but late in the night he left the chair. Rev. Allen Fort, the white pastor, was induced to take the chair and he continued as the presiding officer. On the proposition, the various diagrams were drawn up, and took us over consideration the basis of reunion as offered by the representatives of the Southern Baptist Convention (white.) The National Baptist Convention, Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., President, adopted the basis and came in. The National Baptist Convention, Rev. E. C. Jones, D. D., agreed to proof that their side had rejected this as a basis of peace and reunion. MUCH MONEY READY. Then followed scenes that will long be remembered. One of the white delegates praised the colored people and he declared the Southern Baptist Convention wanted to help them. Fifty thousand dollars were already available for the work of establishing a colored theological institution under the control of the National Baptist Convention and one hundred thousand more could be raised for the purpose. He pleaded with them to get together. Not Dr. Dr. R. Griggs advocated the occurrence of the word "prerequisite" in order to get together, but the action of the other side insisting that no steps could or would be taken to harmonize until those conditions had been unconditionally complied with ended this phase of THE RICHMOND PLANET the discussion and late into the night the white delegation withdrew. THE END CAME. The motion to adjourn was carried and the body passed out into the rain, thus ending a remarkable session. The total vote was three. The National Baptist Convention, incorporated and the Southern Baptist Convention, unincorporated while the National Baptist Convention unincorporated voted and stood alone. Another interesting statement was made when it was announced that the National Baptist Convention Commission appointed by President E. C. Morris had plenipotentiary powers, while the side represented by the others had no power whatever. The motion to adjourn was passed by the Spruce Street Baptist Church to outline a plan for the future. Rev. E. C. Morris at times presided. RECEIVED COLDLY Roy, John H. Frank appeared before this body and made a personal statement. His remarks were received coldly and he passed out to attend a meeting of the Roy, E. P. Jones' side, which was in session at the National Baptist Publishing House building. PERSONNEL OF COMMISSION. The following were the members of the Joint Peace Commission: The National Baptist Convention, incorporated: Rev. T. O. Fuller, chairman; Rev. L. K. Williams, Prof. S. Harris; Rev. J.

The many friends of the Rev. Wesley F. Graham, pastor of the Friar P. Trinity Baptist Church, will rejoice in how much the twelfth of December the Church celebrated its twenty-seventh anniversary, along with the seventh annivorsary of the pastor. When Dr. Graham took charge of this Church seven years ago, an annual charter was issued national shares. Dr. G. L. P. Tallafrore, there was a debt of twenty-seven thousand dollars and the membership far less than three hundred. Today the Church stands clear of debt and has a membership of nearly two thousand. The offer of membership, one thousand dollars per month. Because of the great growth and the remarkable success of the work under the present pastor, they gave him a splendid reception on the night of the twelfth, at which each eminent men as Rev. Drs. W. G. Parks, Vice President at large, National Baptist Convention; E. Jouce, President of B.J. Baptist Conference; R. J. Williams, pastor "Mother Bethel" A. M. E. Church; Alexander Hannon, pastor of Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church; the learned, gifted, Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of The Christian Recorder; Archdeacon H. L. Phillips, of the Protestant Episcopal Church; A. R. Robinson, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church and Chairman National Baptist Foreign Mission Board of large of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated; C. C. Scott and W. H. Moss, great Baptist Pastors and members of the Foreign Mission Board; J. C. Jackson, President New England Baptist Convention; Rector Hendricks, former rector of the historic St. Thomas P. E. Church and Attorneys G. Edward Dickerson, Charles H. Brooks, C. J. Perry, editor of the Grant Williams spoke in the highest praise of the pastor, his wife and the great Church. The Church showed its love and appreciation for the pastor and his wife by presenting them a Rainy Day Purse amounting to $1,600 (sixteen hundred dollars). This was the last report, but it is thought that two thousand dollars will be rounded out. They not only presented a piece of money to the pastor's family to four thousand dollars a year. They say that the pastor came to them when it was dark and dreary with the Church, when the sheeriff's sign had been nailed on the doors, when the members were cast down and almost ready to give up, and that the progress made under his leadership entitles him to all the support and honor that they can bestow upon him. They declare that with so large a membership the deacon's life, the regular collections amounting to twelve thousand dollars a year, that their pastor is entitled to four thousand dollars a year. The Church is alive to all the appeals for Christians education and foreign missions, and now, Dr. Graham and his officers declare that they intend, in the future, to do more for their Lord and His Kingdom on earth, than they have done before. They have done so about five hundred persons who banqueted at one dollar a plate was mightily brightened by the shearing 171 BE EFFICIENT AND SUCCESSFUL AND WHAT IS BETTER FOR A CHRISTMAS PRESENT THAN A PAIR OF GLASSES MADE BY ALL ARE INVITED TO INSPECT OUR JEWELRY.

Thorea was a letter from the First Baptist Church, Forrest City, Arkansas, from which Dr. Graham was licensed to first carry one cage ago; one from First Baptist Church, Forrest City, Arkansas, for which he was ordained thirty-eight years ago; one from the Third Baptist Church, Alexandria, Virginia, his first charge in Virginia, 1883, and one from the Loyal Street Baptist Church, Danville, Virginia, his first charge in Virginia, another from the great Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia, where he spent nineteen years. These all spoke in the highest terms of the man of God who had spent years of usefulness with them. Following the Church letters came still another from the the most Beneficial Insurance Company, John T. Taylor, Secretary; the Independent Order of St. Luke, Mrs. Maggle L. Walker, Secretary-Treasurer and the Mechanics Savings Bank, the Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., President and Last, but not least, from a committee representing the American Beneficial Insurance Company. The Philadelphia communications came from Mrs. Lella Jackson, one of the leading members of the Church, who was absent because of illness, and from Rev. Dr. Orlando Stewart, Secretary of the Baptist City Union. It was a night long to be remonored and in the near future Dr. Graham promises to let this paper have a full report, with all the comments and names of the parties sending them. The Holy Trinity Baptist Church is to be compiluted upon the remarkable degree of success. YOUNGTOWN (O.) NOTES Mrs. P. Pride and Miss H.
