York last week after attempting to,
take the life of his wife. Mr. Myers
who is the son of Mrs. Luey Willis
of-Duffy street, east, was well: known
here where he was born and spent
his boyhood days.
, The following is an account of the
suicide as published In the Amster-
fam News last week:
“That a jealous man or woman al-
‘ways finds more than he or she looks
for is evident in the case of George
R. Myers, or 113 W. 125th street, and
2 well known and popular postal em-
ploye at the W. 32nd street station.
Myers was a man of about 38 years
‘of age and, who had been married but
a few years. put for the past three
Fears or so has not been living with
his wife. Florie. It is alleged that
they separated on account of internal
domestic troubles, she refusing to live
with him on account of harsh treat-
tent. Myers ylelded to conditions,
but not without jealous rage that is
eminently dangerous at all times. He
reluctantly remained away from his
wife 5 Florie, but at Intervals called
to see her at 140 W. 136th street and
was received in the best manner that
could be expected under the circum-
stances. He called Thprsday after-
noon and evening and invited his wife
to go to dioner with him at Libya.
She agreed to do so and began pre-
paration for what she thought would
be an evening's pleasure. During the
Interim and her preparation, Myers
sald: “Would’yon like to have a con-
talner of beer.” Mrs. Mye® prefered
@ bottle and that met the approval
of the hysband, who left the bouse
for that purpose. Soon returning with
a bottle of beer he entered the room
on the second floor rear at 140 W.
136th street, took off his coat, and
instead of offering Mrs. Myers the beer
he eased from his pocket 1 22 caliber re
yolrer wrapped in a handkerchief and
without a word of murmur blazed dt
his wife, who escaped death by a
hair’s breadth. ‘The bullet intended
for her glazed the wall, piercinz the
‘plastering, and landed outside of the
window in theytear. Mrs. Myers fell
more from excitement than from
wounds and Geo. R. Myers, believing
that bis object—murder and suicide—
had been accomplished, turned the re-
yolrer upon himself, firing the fatal
shot for himself in the right temple.
‘He died almost instantls, about 6:30
o'clock,
“Having locked the door and placed
the key in his pocket, Mrs. Myers was
at his merey and screamed for dear
_life to be let out, while Myers lay
dead betweéen the alcove and the main
room.
° “Mrs. Myers in her excitement was
“on the verge of leaping from the win-
dow, but neighbors who had heard the
shots yelled to her not to do so. In
the meantime tenants found a key, un-
‘ locked the door, released Mrs. Myers
and observed the ghastly sight. Ex-
citement ran high, for few, if any, of
the occupauts knew Myers was in the
house. Officers August Feudner and
Francis Casey of the 3Sth precinct
. were immediately notified and promptly
responded and in turn notified tho Har-
Jem Hospital. Dr. Hannon responded
+ and upon his arrival pronounced Myers
dead.
“Coroner Hallesters was immediatels
notified by the officers ‘ind responded
abont 10:26, The body was subse

nabian, figured very prominently last
week in a slootiug scrape in Rich-
mond, Va.,-where he shot Christopher
Jackson through the liver. Sanders
who is well known here among the
chauffeurs, is now lodged in jall avait-
ing the result of the wounds received
by Jackson.
‘The Richmond Puinet telly of the
affair as follows:
“There was great excitement last
Friday ufght shortly after 9 o'clock
when four shots fired in rapid suc-
cession aroused the neighborhood.
Christopher Jackson, who resides at
28 W. Leigh street in company with
8 young lady, was found to be shot
jin two places, in the leg and in the
eee side, The bullet inthe body 1s
said to have strucithe seventh rib and
glanced. 7
“When the couple reached Leigh
street, almost in front of No. 204 E.
‘Leigh street, Charles Sanders walked
up to Chris. Jackson, and after abus-
iug him, drew a revolver and fired. A
witness states’ that he took, a drink
/with Sanders a short time before, and
‘Sanders juad declared big intention
to Kill Jacksou for going with his girl
“The wounded youug man went into
the residence of Rey. J. Audrew Bow-
ler, 112 EL Leigh street, from which
place medical assistunce was summon-
ed. Saunders ran away from the scene
of the shooting. He was rooming at
att BH. Leigh street. Gordon Jobuson,
who rooms at 112 E. Lelgh’streer, Is a
friend of Jackson, and-it was in John-
son's room that the wounded man was
examined by the surgeon. The wound-
ed youth was carried to Memorial
hospital, Z
“The underlying cause of the sboot-
ing of Christopher Jackson by Charles
Saunders on Friday night, October Gth,
has not as yet been told, but enough
is known to convince the most skeptical
“that a woman was at the bottom of
it. A telephone message was received
last Tuesday morning by Edltor John
Mitchell, Jr., informing him that Char-
ses, Saucers (had given himself up. it
turned to be Charles Sanders himself.
‘Mr, Mitebell,” he said, ‘I am about to

would do so. It was 12 o'clock when

Preparing For The Lighter Side of Life
The Season's Evening Gowns and Wraps are Most Elaborate NOVELTIES IN ACCESSORIES New York, Oct. 13—Evening gowns and wraps are once more the center of attraction for the social season is at hand and all who take part in the galeties of dances and theatre parties that brighten the autumn and winter, are starting their preparations for these social events.
The materials and trimmings for evening wear are very rich this season, and the gowns are accordingly most elaborate and luxurious; seemingly, there is no limit to the extravagance of many of them. In materials, the preference seems to be given to chiffon velvet, and the soft richness of this material is especially adapted to developing the sumptuous gowns, that women of fashion demand. Next in importance come the brocade: silks and satins and the gold and silver laces and nets. Quantities of these gold, silver and other metallic laces are used

and they are combined with tulle and net or with soft silks, satins and velvets. Black chiffon velvet combined with gold or silver lace is especially high in favor, but the colored velvets are also favored, some of them being very brilliant while others are in the softer shades. For young girls, white satin embroidered in silver as well as the soft shades of pink and blue make very charming gowns. Tulle is another of the girlish materials for youthful dance frocks. It makes the dalnties of frocks, and the tulle used at present is not of the perishable kind that was used formerly.
In the way of trimming, everything that glitters and sparkles is in demand for decorating evening frocks. Quantities of pallette, sequins and rhinestone trimmings are employed, so that there is a great deal of glitter and glamour about the evening frocks of this season.
The use of cliffon velvet combined with lace is shown in the charming model illustrated. Fine lace flouncing forms the side section of the skirt and this may be of white or silver lace, or black lace, which is also very effective. Bands of pearl or rhinestone trimming over the shoulders hold up the little bodice of black velvet, and at a finish to the frills of lace which take the place of sleeves. Another type of sleeves which appear on ever so many evening frocks is the long, trailing sleeve of tulle, known as the wing sleeve. It always gives added grace to a gown and is often outlined with irridescent deads.
Another interesting feature of evening gowns is the return of the train. Many trains are in the form of separate panels, some of which are quite long while others are only long enough to merit the name of train. On one of the latest models was a train half of net and half of satin. It started from the shoulder, and the upper part to form the normal waistline was of net, the remainder being of satin. Skirts are still shorter, even when they carry trains, but even the shortest skirts are longer than those of last season.
Full as elaborate and luxurious as the gown itself is the evening wrap to go with it. The wraps are very ample and are fashioned chiefly of velvet or broadcloth, trimmed with fur. The fur is applied in bands around the edges as in the accompanying illustration, or it appears only in collars. All sorts of rich, brilliant colors, among them ruby, rose, geranium and different shades of blues, are used for wraps and their linings. The lining
is often the same color as the wrap or contrasting. Sometimes bright figure silks are used. Beautiful wraps also come in dark shades. An especially handsome one was of dark red velvet trimmed with dull-gold braid and enriched with coney fur at the neck and sleeves.
Of the accessories for evening there are countless dainty conceits in the form of bags, artificial flowers to match dresses and fans. The bags are of gold and silver tissue or of delicate silks. The large ostrich feather fans are favored above all others, and very beautiful they are, coming for colors to match the gowns they are to accompany.

Broadcloth Cape Trimmed with Fur
Evening slippers are of satin, brocades and silver and gold tissues, the latter being particularly favored. Many are ornamented with buckles of rhinestone and crystal, while there are those entirely devoid of ornament. Some striking fancy slippers are half of gold or silver tissue and half of gray-colored satin. They were made with vamps of the colored satin and the heels and quarters of gold or silver. Silk hose to match are worn with the slippers, for they are to be had in all the desired colors.

The National Equal Rights League appeals to the voters of the United States, to sustain in each and every state of our country, the principles of equality of citizenship, equality of opportunity in Federal Civil Service employment, equality of protection in the administration of justice, equality of freedom in the use of the ballot and equality and fair play in industrial pursuits. Equality of human rights in this country should not be destroyed by the continued enforcement of unreasonable human tyranny at the South. Work in the Civil Service should be equally open to all without the application of methods that result in race discrimination, race segregation and race humiliation in work or wages to any citizens. We warn the voters of the country against the power of the labor unions which have grown both formidable and dangerous within the last few years. For more than thirty years these organizations have done what they could to starve all persons not members of the labor unions and also excluded colored laborers there from
A vote for Mr. Wilson means a vote for the destruction of equality of citizenship in the North, East and West as well as in the South, such a vote means a complete choking of equal opportunity in life's struggles, it means the establishment of a rigid caste system directly adverse to ten million and applied to industrial pursuits and operated so as to exclude and prevent the class under the band of Southern race prejudice from participating in gainful occupations. It means an endorsement of Mr. Wilson's propaganda of race segregation and race humiliation in the executive department of the government.
Our government is founded upon the principles of equal freedom and exact justice to all men, but Mr. Wilson has shown his opposition to equal freedom and exact justice to ten million by giving a delegation from the National Equal Rights League to understand that the race segregation in work and wages, race humiliation and race insults in the executive department of the government inaugurated by his subordinates, would not be disturbed.
Mr. Hughes, while Governor of the state of New York, made a good record; we believe he will make a good president and would be president of all the people of the United States including the ten million seemingly set apart by Mr. Wilson for disfavor and for denial of civil and political rights. We therefore urge the voters of the United States to vote for Mr. Hughes as the most effective means of defeating Mr. Wilson and of registering a protest against a Southern, sectional administration of the government of the United States. We favor Federal supervision of the election of President. Vice-president, Senators and members of the House of Representatives.
Owing to the alarming extension of color caste reaching even the right of domicile and invading the Federal government, we, as Americans, declare our opposition to the whole policy of race separation, for color in public semi-public institutions whether for education, recreation, or what not, in places open to the public for accommodation or resort as undemocratic and un-American, increasing and perpetuating race prejudice and constituting essentially a denial of equality of rights and destined to make us, as American, social and civic outcast.

ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY OF THE NATIONAL COLORED CITIZENSHIP CONGRESS
Read by Mr. W. S. Spencer, Oct. 5, in John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church Washington, D. C.
On January 1st, 1863, Abraham Lincoln issued the proclamation of Emancipation abolishing slavery in this country.
The states of the Union where the institution existed, in time followed the great proclamation by the enactment of status annulling within their several borders; and the national government by the enactment of the 13th Amendment to the Federal Constitution finally put the power into Federal agencies to prevent its recurrence on American soil. For many years after the close of the Civil war peonage was practiced in the South, which has never
THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE become thoroughly reconciled to the laws prescribing equality of citizenship:
This fact is seen in the widespread efforts to defeat the great purposes of the War Amendment, by the enactment of laws making the disfranchisement of the race a practical reality; by provisions for the separation of colored passengers from all other racial elements on common carriers by proscriptive legislation for residential segregation. The lynching of thousands of colored men and even women charged with offenses never proven in the courts of justice, has become almost a national disease. These social disorders are the aftermath of slavery, and we appeal to all fair minded men and women, to the enlightened moral forces of the country, to unite in a nation-wide effort to correct these abuses to the end that justice may prevail in all sections of our Republic.
The great progress of the colored race since the day of their liberation from bondage has been made in the face of stupendous difficulties—in the face of hate and prejudice, proscription and injustice, and is all the more remarkable because of the powerful influence exerted by these evil agencies. The race has greatly multiplied in numbers, and in usefulness. It has reduced its illiteracy to a very low percentage. It has multiplied its wealth in lands. In religion, education and industrial movements, it has become an important factor in the national life with ever increasing efficiency. Wherever the door of opportunity has been opened to them, colored Americans have demonstrated their ability to meet the most exacting requirements of our civilization.
The colored people have made valuable contributions to science, invention, art, and literature, and their achievements in our national wars have maintained at high level the best military traditions of this nation. We desire to express to the friends of liberty and justice for all men throughout this broad land, our grateful appreciation for every service of any character which they have rendered in the past. We seek nothing, but justice, and that the equality of rights and that equal opportunity which are denied to none of the other groups in this country, because of race.
We denounce the segregation of colored employees in the civil service of the Federal government as un-American, unjust, a wicked, shameful and oligraceful abuse of power.
We denounce the spirit of those so-called repre-entatives of the people in the halls of Congress, who are constantly seeking to declitize the colored race by the introductory of reactionary legislations which belongs to a past age, and which the great body of American people have outgrown.
We call upon the leaders of our race in every section of our country to unselfishly guide the people through the difficulties by which they are beet, and to organize them locally and nationally to resist and combat denial of civil and political rights and especially the policy of separation from fellow Americans of every race in the public life, opposing segregation, the perpetrator of race prejudice.
Those who have wisdom let their counsel be heard. Those who have wealth, let them assist materially where the need is great. Those who have courage, let them stand and contend for justice.

The fifth Sunday in this month at 3:30 p. m. o'clock will be known as girls' day at Second Baptist Sunday school. The management at that time will be under the supervision of the girls, at which time they will rally, not for money alone, but for the highest number of pupils. Mr. W. S. Roundfield will be with the girls to see that things are carried on in regular order. The first Sunday in November will be known as boys' day. The boys are looking forward to their day and time with keen interest, hoping to beat the girls. Mr. J. W. Chaney, Jr., will be with the boys to assist them in keeping things in line. The superintendent will, on both days, pay a brief visit to each class, and contribute an equal sum to each class to encourage the young folks in their earnest efforts. Parents, friends and public in general are invited to witness girls' tnd boys' days.

Saint John the Baptist
“Why We Call June 24 Saint John’s Day
1. St. John’s Day indicates that
John’s connection with Freemasonry is
symbolical, mysti¢al and not histori-
‘cal. There is a tradition, but no doc-
umentary, evidence, to show that hé
was identified with the Masonic instt-
tution prior to 1727. His emphatic
‘teachings of brotherly love, and the
mystic symbols of his apocalyptic
yisions, have been the chief reasons
for t he reverence paid him by Ma-
sonry. John’s natural drift was to-
ward mysticism. In the mysticism
pnd imagination of St- John we be-
hold the deepest form ‘of Masonry.
Ia his grand outer horizon we see
clearly the tints of a sun shining in
an eternal world, but forbidden of
‘God to throw its fll light across the
valley of death. The gospel of John.
the letters of John, the apocalypse of
John, are doubtless the highest and tru-
est form of Masonry. He, of all the
sacred writers, leads us upward to
“here the oarth recedes and ‘disap
pears.” In the natural world we per-
ceive that the Creator has prepared
a golden hed into which every evening
the sun sinks. Oh! how the classics
did love to speak of this dreamy,
golden touch. But Masonry loves the
human heart more than it loves the
stars. -

John's day is suggestive of the Mason.

In the development, elevation and the
value of common humanity, The Ma-
sonic idea is that man is the most
trust, of God to the world—that his
value is derived from his moral re-
lations, from divinity and from his
fraternity. Looked at in hese rela-
tions, every Mason is so valuable that
we Cannot make distinction. ‘If we

“For what does Masonry stand?”
For loving kindness and truth; for
justice tempered with mercy, wheré
no interest of society are imperiled,
and where one gone astray can by
such tempered hand be brought back
to rectitude ‘and duty. Masonry stands,
for the, protectio nof every man and
his rights, that so be may not be over-
borne by any opposing interests until
impartial {justice has spoken. It
stands for kindly dealing with the weak
and erring. who have not brought
themselves into disrepute nor made
their lives a scandal to the fraternity.
The whispered word of conncel, /of
warning. of encouragement or of stern
reproof—these Masonry can and should
speak, seeking to stay and = save a
brother from t he weakness of his
awn soul and body.—Tyler Keystone.

Reading Masonic literature makes
the perfect Mason. Every Mason
should be a reader, a thinker, a student
as well as a practitioner of the vir-
tues inculeated in Masonry. The cen-
tury grows upward. not downward,
and Masons should be in the front
of the procession that moves toward
the dawn of day and the glorious
lent. And to he in the front they
must read and keep posted on thé im-
portant matters annually transpiring
in the Masonic world.—Selected.

While the laws and ancient usages
accorded the Master exceptional pow-

there 1s no law whereby he can in-

Saturday October 21st, 1916
The lynching of two Negroes in Blakely, Ga., about ten months ago and the sentencing of another to be hung soon, a fourth to life imprisonment for the killing of a white farmer and the burning of several churches and halls have caused a great exodus of Negroes from that section During last week, no less than a half hundred Negroes from Blakely and-the surrounding territory have come to this city. Many of these people give pitiful accounts of the manner in which
the Negroes in their section are treated. A score or more of those coming here tell of the many abuses which they have had to endure since the lynching and of the wanton advantages which are taken of the Negroes in general in this section. Many of these people had been in about as fair condition as the average small farmer, but on account of the unlawful abuses to which they were subjected by the whites, they were forced to disposed of their holdings at a sacrifice and seek safer surroundings. The fifty who came here are but a handful to the large number who left Blakely, many of them giving up their all in order that they may find safety and protection in their humble pursuit for a living. The lot of the Negroes in and around Blakely is by no means unusual, for in many of the rural districts of the state persecutions even as severe as those which are experienced in this hot bed of racial prejudice are common. It is only human therefore that Negroes who dwell in these barbarous sections of the state should leave and the large crowds that have already taken leave of the unbearable surroundings at Blakely and other like places are but a drop in the bucket to the great exodus of Negroes who will follow in their wake, regardless of the restrictions which may be placed on their leaving. Abuses and persecutions of all manner have been suffered with much patience by Negroes in certain rural districts of the state, but not without a hope for a better day to come. Thoughts
of them have long cherished the thought of better treatment in their various communities, but with sad disappointment. Instead of their treatment becoming better, it has grown harsher and now they see but one alternative and that is to leave. The sacrifice which they are making to get away from these hotbeds of persecution and abuse is heavy. Personal property and real estate which they have had to dispose of, have been sold for little or nothing, and years and years passed in accumulating the little comforts of life that all mankind craves for, are now counted as wasted by those who have been forced to leave their all behind. But in leaving places like Blakely where they have toiled so long and assiduously they are seeking that which everyone desires, happiness, protection and contentment, whether in the friendly disposed communities of the South or in the bustling commonwealths north of the Mason and Dixon line where so many thousands have found relief from their pitiful surroundings.
During the past four years the Mexicans have been murdering American citizens, destroying their property and even crossing the border and committing depradations and otherwise bullying this country. Mr. Wilson's treatment of them is well-known. Compare Mexico with the Dominican republic There were one or two bitter uprisings in this republic among its citizens, purely political. Being a weak and small republic, this caused the delight of President Wilson who immediately ordered the U. S. marines there to take charge of the affairs of the government. This outrageous action of the President met with silent approval of some of the people of this
country. Mexico should have been treated more harshly. As best they can the Dominicans are loudly protesting against the invasion of their country, and lose no opportunity in doing so, as volced by this excerpt from the S. W. Christian Advocate:
"Nearly every issue of the local newspapers in San Domingo City are said to contain bitter attacks against the United States and the forces of occupation in the Dominican republic. Many of the papers are protesting to the American people, it is stated. Following a conference between Major Barass, of the United States Marine Corps, and the the governor of San Domingo City, it was given out that Major Barass had ordered that the publication of such articles must cease and that the governor would be held responsible if the attacks upon the United States were persisted in by the Dominican papers. The governor is said to have informed Major Barass that he (the former) was powerless to stop such publications, and that it would be unlawful for him to try to curb the liberies of the press. Since the conference, it is stated, the local newspapers have been even more bitter than formerly in denouncing the policy of the United States with regard to the Dominican republic. The affair is said to have caused much excitement in San Domingo City.
ANNUAL MEETING OF URBAN LEAGUE MONDAY NIGHT
Activities of the Past Year to be Reported and Future Work Discussed The annual meeting of the Urban League will be held on Monday night, October 23, at headquarters, West Broad street and Gwinnett lane, at 8:30 o'clock. Reports will be submitted by the president and chairmen of the various committees. The activities of the league have increased during the year and much tangible work has been accomplished.
A full attendance at the meeting is expected, and practical ideas for more effective work will be introduced and plans to raise the Christmas and Charity Fund presented. The Urban League is a fixture in the affairs of the city and merits the hearty support of citizens in every walk of life for the great good that it has accomplished and for its future plans for effective uplifting service.

Several New Teachers on Faculty Atlanta, Ga., Oct 18.—Atlanta University has reached an enrollment of 530 students in college and preparatory work, this not including the large enrollment in the Oglethorpe Practice School, which is grammar school children from the city of Atlanta. This is the largest enrollment in the history of the university. There was a time when the enrollment approached seven hundred, but that was when a large portion of them was in the grammar school which was held in the basement of South Hall, and when many came from out of town and had to board with families in the neighborhood. The boys' building is crowded and it is a puzzle to see how many more can be taken in. There is no one fact that pleases the alumni more than this crowding of the buildings, especially that of the boys'.
The faculty has been increased by the addition of several teachers, among whom is Prof. Thomas I. Brown, who will conduct classes and investigations in sociology. Prof. Brown took his bachelor's and master's degrees at Clark University., Worcester, Mass. and has done the preliminary work for his doctor's degree, which he will later take on a leave of absence. The Knowles Industrial building has an additional instructor in Mr. Dana B. Clark, who has had experience in similar work in the north; and he is to be the football coach. The football team has already made a promising showing under his coaching.
Nature seems to have given, the university a prosperous start also. The large three-story barn is almost bursting with an immense crop of hay from African grass, grown by Supt. Huth. So rapidly has this grown that it has attracted visitors from far and wide to observe it, and no doubt it will spread largely from its introduction here on our campus. The fine herd of Jersey cows is producing forty gallons of milk daily, all of which is consumed by teachers and students on the campus. On all accounts it looks as if this is going to be an unusual year of prosperity for Atlanta University.
Mr. Edgar C. Raine will give a lecture on Alaska, illustrated by 200 colored views, in the Ware Chapel, Monday night, October 23, at 7:30. Admission 25 cents. These lectures have been widely commented upon in all the leading magazines. At nine o'clock, after the lecture, a reception will be given to the graduates and former students of Atlanta University in honor of Mrs. Katharine Ware Smith. It is hoped that those who cannot come to the lecture will not fall to come to the reception at nine o'clock.
"I THANK YOU CLUB"
The first fall sitting of the "I Thank You Club" was held on last Wednesday night. Notwithstanding the bad weather that prevailed, quite a number of the members and their guests were out and the meeting proved to be a great success. Prior to the time for the sitting, the merry makers indulged in dancing, singing and whist playing. The rooms of the Savannah Home Association where the affair was held were tastily decorated for the occasion and the evening was one of pleasure and merriment. The club had as its special guests Mr. W. O. Castleberry, Mr. J. C. Mardenborough and Mr. Jeffres, each of the gentlemen being prominently connected with the Guaranty Life and Health Insurance company. At 11:30 o'clock the entire party numbered about fifty, sat down to supper and the meeting of the organization was then called to order by Chief Edward R. Collins. As usual there was not much business to be transacted, except to devour the choicest edibles that had been prepared by Caterer Joseph J. Brown and to listen to the interesting talks by Messrs Castleberry, Mardenborough Jeffres and Miss Rebecca A. Burke, the latter having been appointed to represent the ladies at the previous sitting of the club. A collection for a charitable purpose was taken and this closed an event which was heartily enjoyed by all present.
THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE
Service Center in Yamaecaw.
AT THE Y. M. C. A.
A live business session of the Y. M. C. A. was held last Sunday. The matter of greatest importance discussed was the campaign for funds for the purchasing of a home now being waged. It was agreed that a vigorous fall campaign, the object of which will be to raise the necessary fund for the purchase of the home, will be started at once. A committee with H. T. Singleton, manager of the Georgia Mutual Insurance Co., as chairman, was appointed to submit plans for the fall campaign. A nominating committee with P. A. Denegall as chairman was also appointed to bring in a slate of officers for the ensuing year. The report of the committee and election of officers will take place on Sunday, October 20th. Report from the night school shows that under the direction of Prof. Williams, the enrollment shows a steady growth each week. At this writing nearly twenty are enrolled as night students. In the athletic department there is activity. The Y. M. C. A. football team has been organized under the leadership of Messrs Jones and Roberts, and will play their first game on Monday, October 23 at 4 p. m. with the Ga. State College team on the College campus.
On tomorrow at St. Paul Church, there will be an interesting meeting. Mr. J. C. Lindsay, the well-known business and insurance man, will deliver a special business address. There will be musical numbers. The public is cordially invited to be out at 5 p. m.
SECOND LEG OF CUP TO BE HOTLY CONTESTED
Advantage Seems to be With Forest City to Carry Meet.
At a meeting of the Chatham Lawn Tennis Association, held on Thursday evening last, final arrangements were made for the forth-coming tournament. All the clubs in the association have signified their intention of entering teams in all events and with the added experience from the last tournament, we should see some splendid tennis.
A special effort will be made at this time to improve over the actual playing conditions. The courts are in better shape, the players know more and play better, the officials with one tournament behind them should make fewer mistakes, although like umpires of a baseball game the referee is blamed for everything. The association is headed by Prof. R. W. Gadsden and in large measure its success and enthusiasm have been due to his untiring efforts.
The schedules follows and will be played exactly as laid out except in cases of ties and postponements, due to bad weather, when these matches will be played off on the court on which the tie or postponement takes place after the schedule has been completed. All matches will be played on the court of the last named club.

hit me. One went in my back, missed my heart, and went in my liver. One went through my left leg and the other one glanced my right leg. I ran to Mrs. Bowler's. They did everything they could and got a doctor. The ambulance brought me here.
"I do not know why he shot me. This was not his girl. He used to go with her before she went to New York. My name is David Christopter Jackson. The surgeon got both balls out by an operation. They cut me open to see if the ball had permafrost ray intentions. They found out that it had not."
"This ended the interview. Editor
Murrell told him that the outlook for
his recovery was bright. He enlisted
to some of the other patients. He asked
Jackson if he had seen Sanders outside
of the hospital since he had been there.
'I thought I saw him outside one day.
Dr. Moon hastened outside when I said
so, but he must have missed him. He
said that he was going to kill me, and
I thought he might try to shoot me
through the window.'
"He uttered these words sadly, and Editor Mitchell bid him good-bye and passed to the sunlight street on the outside, but not before thanking the him permission to see the dangerously wounded youth. Jackson resides at 2S W. Leigh street. A call had come from the First Police Station before Editor Mitchell left the Planet office. The kind-hearted sergeant informed him that Charles Sanders was there the attendant in charge, who had given and he desired to speak to him.
"Accordingly, he left the Memorial Hospital and proceeded down Broad street to the First Police Station. He was shown the cell occupied by Charles Sanders. He has straight black hair. He is about 5 feet 8 inches, of slim built and his compulsion is very light brown. He gave his age as 31 years. Jackson is said to be 20 years of age. He recognized Editor Mitchell at once, greeted him cordially, and said:
I "4 I am from Savannah, Ga. I came here in March, 1914. I was recommended here to Mr. T. M. Carrington by Mr. McCabe. I am 31 years of age. I will hear from the mayor of Savannah, Capt. Davant. I was formerly employed by Mr. Edwin M. Frank of West Broad street. I have been handling automobiles since 1915. Asked as to the cause of the trouble, he replied, 'It happened from gossip and threats.' In reply to a query as to whether he had been by Memorial hospital, he replied. "I have not been out of the house since Saturday at fifteen minutes to eight o'clock in the morning.
"I injured my hand working on the generator of the boss' car, and I was having it treated. I could have remained where I was much longer without being found. Please say to the public, that, being a citizen, I am sorry to have been regarded as an outcast, as to have the public school guarded and also private homes. I shot him. In five minutes afterwards, he pulled off his scarfpin and ring and pulled a .38 caliber automatic from his bosom. He tried to get it out, but there was no chance for him.
"Maybe, if I were a professional whist-player or a crap-shooter, I would be thought more of around the bunch among some of the people in Jackson ward. I shot Chris Jackson in self defense and I feel justified in shooting him." Editor Mitchell asked him if he had secured counsel. He intimated that his employer who was an attorney would defend him. Editor Mitchell cautioned him about talking, although he was of the opinion that he had not made any statement that would injure him.
"I incidentally, Sanders staded that he had never had the benefit of a school training. He had always kept the revolver with which he shot Jackson, in his room. It was of a cheap make, and here the label of 'Firearms Company.' He could produce ot at the proper time. He had fired on Jackson to protect himself. He asked for a match to light a cigarette that he was smoking.
ST. PHILIP CHURCH

How About Trade Boosting Week
NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WILL DISCUSS TOPIC
(By J. C. Lindsay)
The local Negro Business League, like every other Negro organization, society or racial uplifting agency, at times, is misunderstood by those who have not taken the time to investigate the real work for the good of the race which they are endeavoring to do.
It is thought and said by some of the narrw contracted ones among us, that an organization such as the Negro Business League is in the main, is more hurtful than helpful to the race, owing to the fact that the other fellow, who has controlled the trade of the race so long, will become hard hearted and impatient, with members of the race when he once finds out that members of the race are making united efforts to control the business and trade with their own kith and kin. $ ^{c} $
Just how a sane and thoughtful man or woman of the race can come to such a conclusion is indeed a mystery to the men and women who compose the membership of any local business league. No member of any race of people can think hard of any other race who, for race pride, pure and simple, feel not robbery to lend their support, encouragement and give their patronage to the building upd the maintenance o the enterprises which are being operated by members of his and her own race.
The American Negro, unlike the foreign born element among us, many of whom come to our shores in great numbers each and every year who think that every American dollar which passes thru his hand must be sent back to his far away home, that his own native country, kith and kin may have the benefit of it, while the country, America, in which he has been given the privilege of making this money, may be hanged for what he cares.
Not so with the Negro business man, north south, east nor west; but on the contrary, the American Negro, like the American white man whose business example he has been following for all these years, makes his money here in his own native country and spends it among the people out of whom he has been able thus hard work to make it.
The American business Negro invests his accumulated surplus money in homes, farms, school houses and churches, bank buildings, fraternal organizations, insurance companies, stocks and bonds, and the thousands of other what nots, which places him in line where his other more favored brother can see him, as a factor in the upkeep of his state and nation, as man, north, south, east or west; but ing all of the requirements of a good citizen, in that he pays his real and personal taxes like any other good citizen in the nation.
Therefore, we repeat, that no man or any set of men, be they native or foreign born, white or black, can attach any serious blame to any man or woman of this race of which the writer is a part, who feels called upon to give their first consideration in the matter of trade to the struggling ones among us who are striving with might and main to make themselves felt as business factors in the communities where they may chance to be. What do you think of a trade boosting week to stimulate trade among us some time soon? Come early to your next meeting and lets talk the matter over together. We meet again Wednesday evening. November 1st
NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL
(Continued from page one) pany. The chief officers are Dr. R. W. Brown, president, and Mr. S. W. Rutherford, secretary and manager.
Dr. William H. Davis, official stenographer of the National Negro Business League, is hard at work on his transcript of the report of the great meeting of the League in Kansas City last August. It is expected that the copy will be in the hands of Secretary Emmett J. Scott within a few days and that the printer will have the illuminating pamphlet ready for general distribution by the first of January. The proceeding of the Negro National Board of Trade will be of great interest to millions of our people throughout the country.

Only four colored men have applied for saloon licenses in the District of Columbia—A. J. Gaskin, 320 8th street; P. Dallas Washington, 636 D street; J. Ottoway Holmes, 236 4th street, and Moss Dade, 1216 Pennsylvania avenue. Rev. Lewis C. Sheafe, formerly pastor of the Colored Seventh Day Ad-
ventist church of this city, has been here for severa lweeks attending the annual convention of his denomination and delivering addresses at various places throut the District. Arrangements have been made, largely through his enthusiastic appeal, to expend quite a handsome sum of money to push the doctrine among the colored people of the country and missions will be established at favorable points in the near Future. Elder Shafee is in charge of a thriving church at Los Angeles, Cal., where the next annual convention of the denomination will be held. C. B. Stephenson, of Graysville, Teum, has been designated as secretary of the colored department.
In commenting the appointment of F. E. Parks as temporary head of the Cardoze Vocational School, Peter H. Robinson as teacher of wood work, and J. L. Taylor as an academic teacher in the Dunbar High School, it is noted that these three young men were trained at the Armstrong Manual Training School during the principalship of Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans. The return of Dr. Evans to the school system will mean a revival of the work of producing such useful young timber for school and for life.
Arrangements have been made for a monster mass meeting at Metropolitan A. M. E. church, Sunday evening October 29, Rev. Dr. John VanSchaick, Jr., president of the board of education, will speak in a frank and open vein upon some of the problems presented by the school situation in the District of Columbia. This is one of the burning questions in this community and many of those most deeply concerned as to it have "shied off" from a public discussion of the matter, for fear of injuring themselves or embroiling a friend or relative, who happens to be employed in the schools. Dr. Van Schaick shows a refreshing boldness in meeting the school issue squarely. He will be greeted by a packed house.

Mr. William 1. McKinney, a capable clerk in the Internal Revenue Bureau, has been promoted from $1,000 to $1,200 per annum. Mr. A. Mercer Daniel, a clerk of fine caliber in the war department, has likewise been raised from $1,00 to $1,200. Both are colored men and the promotion was made solely upon merit.
In its discussion of public questions, the once peppery Washington Bee is so tame that a sick kitten would look ferocious in comparison with it. Brer Chase ought to wake up and make things interesting. As to the school situation, which used to be his hobby, he is as silent as the grave. Is he satisfied—or "skeered" to handle it?

The testimonial in honor of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, though gotten up on short notice, was an unqualified success. Last Friday night in spite of the fact that there were strong counter attractions all over the city, the 19th Street Baptist church was filled with the numerous admigers of Miss Burroughs. Her marvelous work in building up the National Training School for Women and Girls at the gate of Washington was extolled in the most eloquent style by speakers of national prominence. A bouquet of American beauty roses was presented to her by a committee of ladies. The support of the race throughout the land was promised her. In her able speech of acknowledgement, Miss Burroughs swept the house by storm and there were hothtears and cheers in response to her touching recital of her labors in behalf of her people.
Former Recorder of Deeds John C. Dancy is at home for a day or so. He is waging a brilliant campaign for Hughes and Fairbanks in several states and is having some of the biggest meetings noted anywhere. Mr. Dancy is one of the original "Black Cabinet," whose "coming back" would be endorsed by the rank and file of the race all over the land.'
The Church of the Redeemer (Lutheran) on Tuesday evening was the scene of an enthusiastic "home coming reception" in honor of the students returning to Howard University, after the summer vacation. The attendance was large and the boys were there with their sweethearts and the college fell. Miss Louise Marshall was mistress of ceremonies and performed her functions with grace and dignity. Mr. Frank B. Williams, the talented singer and composer, rendered a number of original productions and addresses were delivered by Rev. D. E. Wiseman and others.
Attorney Al. A. Andrews, a graduate of the Howard Law School and for several years an attache of the government service here, is now practicing his profession successfully in Louisville, Ky., and has also assumed the editorship of the Louisville News, a live wire for race rights in the Fall City.
THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE
Mr. John W. F. Smith, for many years attached to the school administration, is spoken of as excellent material for the next assistant superintendent, in charge of colored schools.
Baker and Emerson's clever story of New York life "The Conspiracy", emphasizing a bitter struggle against police graft through a series of strong character portraits, is the current attraction at the Howard Theatre. The piece ranks with the many good things the Quality Amusement Company has given here, and great credit is due both director Winn and his excellent group of players through whom it is capably presented. Tom Brown, whom Mr. Winn pronounces the most skillful character actor of the colored profession and not excelled by many on the American stage, shines as "Winthrop Claverland" in the thrilling play. Miss Laura Bowman creates a sensation by her natural portray of the Southern "mammy." Martha Washington Johnson and Miss Abbie Mitchell sustains their time-honored reputation for conscientious work. Carrying the other important roles in the well-balanced cast are Walker Thompson, J. Francis Moses, "Babe" Townsend, H. L. Prayor. Henry Williams, Charles Taylor, George E. Brown, R. E. Abrams, Ira Hall and Alice Gorgas.
Coming to the Howard week of October 23 "The Lure' with Andrew Bishop and others. Week of October 30th. Kirkpatrick-Anderson group be seen in "The Man of the Hour".
While the drama is being heartily appreciated by a large and intelligent clientele in the nation's capitol, as is shown by the increased interest in the standard plays being presented here by the Quality Company, it cannot be denied that vaudeville is far from dead. With the Howard's stage occupied there is no suitable house in which first-class vaudeville can have a look-in. With the Howard as the home of legitimate drama, a second theatre here devoted to high-class vaudeville, musical comedy, road shows and concerts, would be a paying proposition from the opening of the doors. From an economical standpoint, that as many of our people may earn a livelihood in theatrical work, both the drama and vaudeville should be encouraged, and each should have a chance for public patronage. The drama will stay as long as it is kept up to its present standard, and vaudevill and musical comedy will find plenty of capable exponents of the opportunity in that line of endeavor are given.

The quite enjoyable "midnight" vaudeville performance at the Howard last Friday night was given by a company which includes such well-known artists as Joe Simms, Edward Tolliver and Goldie Chappelle, Tommy and Rabe Mack Parker, Helen Hubbard, Skip Donglass, Tillie Cottman, Blanche Stokes, Florence White and Minnie Norris, Fred Hart was musical director. The show opened with a minstrel first act, followed by an illo, and closing with a skit entitled "The Return of Give-a-Dam."

A rich musical treat is promised for November 21 at 6:15 p. m., at the Howard. The Enterean Club will present in an all-star concert the noted painist, Miss Helen Hagan, supported by Mr. Felix Weir, violinist and Dr. C. Summer Wormley, harpist.
. . .
Mme Anita Pattle Brown, the famouys coloratura soprano, is to appear here next February in a grand musical festival, promoted by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. The national press is teeming with praise of Mme. Brown, who has just been given a magnificent "home-coming" reception by 'the admiring populace of Chicago, following her tour of South America and the West Indies.

Definite information has been received by the officers of the local citizens' committee in charge of the Booker T. Washington, Memorial Fund that Dr. R. R. Moton and Mr. Emmett J. Scott have so planned their itinerary that they will be in Washington on Tuesday evening November 21. The committee at a meeting Saturday night made partial arrangements for a monster mass meeting on November 21 at the Metropolitan A. M. B. church. The program for the occasion will be elaborate. Details will be given as they develop. In the meantime subscriptions are being canvassed.
The First Saparate Battalion. District National Guard, after a term of highly creditable service at Naco, Arizona, on the Mexican border, returned last Sunday night, and the troops are now encamped at Fort Myer, awaiting the ceremony of being mustered out of the federal army. About ten days will be necessary for the completion of the work of mustering out. Major James E. Walker, in command of the battalion, is being overhelded with praises for the wonderful showing made by the organization.
Lesson IV.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 22, 1916.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Acts xxvi, 1, 24-32
Memory Verses, 28, 29—Golden Text,
Acts xxvi, 19—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
With the king and queen and all their pompous retinue, and the chief captains and principal men of the city (xxv, 23), this was probably one of Paul's greatest opportunities to tell to earth's great ones the wondrous story of redeeming grace. Festus, having had Paul brought in before this great gathering, said to the king and all present that, although the Jews were demanding his life, he had not been able to find that he had committed anything worthy of death, but that, having appealed to Caesar, he was going to send him to Rome, though he could not signify any crime that he had been guilty of, but he hoped that after Agrippa had heard him and examined him he might have something definite to write.
The king, having given Paul permission to speak for himself, he began by saying that he was happy to be permitted to state his case before the king because he knew him to be expert in all customs and questions among the Jews. He therefore asked to be heard patiently (verses 1-3). With a word concerning his early life at Jerusalem and his being brought up a Pharisee and well known to all the Jews, he said that the accusation against him was that he had become a follower of Jesus, risen from the dead and coming again to restore the kingdom to Israel, according to all the promises made by God through the prophets to the fathers (verses 4-8) We hope to consider or refer to some of these later in this lesson. He then confessed that, like the Jews who were now persecuting him, he had himself been also a persecutor of the followers of Jesus of Nazareth, under the authority of the chief priests and a very cruel one, even going to distant cities to arrest them (verses 9-11). Then he told of his experience on the way to Damascus and of his commission from the risen and ascended Christ and of his subsequent obedience to this commission up to that day (verses 12-23).
We may be sure that such an assemblage never heard such a testimony before, and we can only hope that some of those who heard became followers of Jesus as Paul prayed that they might (verse 29). Festus certainly heard more about the "One Jesus" (xxv, 19) than he knew before, but he had no use for such talk and told Paul that he was mad and beside himself (verse 24). It was not pleasant to be told so publicly, but this also was fellowship with the Lord Jesus, for they said of Him, "He hath a devil and is mad; why hear ye Him?" (John x. 20). Long ago it was said of the servants of the Lord, "The prophet is a fool; the spiritual man is mad" (Hosx. 7), and the wisdom of this world is still of the same mind.
It is possible that some in the assembly thought Paul to be more sane than Festus, and it looks as if the king was inclined to that opinion (verse 25). The revised version reads, "With but little persuasion thou wouldst fain make me a Christian," and Paul's heart went out to God in great desire, that not only Agrippa, but all who heard him speak, might become Christians, or, as he put it, "almost and altogether such as I am, except these bonds" (verse 29). The king and governor and others having gone aside to consult, their decision was that Paul had done nothing worthy of death or of bonds, and that if he had not appealed unto Caesar he might have been set at liberty (verses 30-32). But with such fanatical Jows about, who were determined to kill him, liberty would probably have peasant death to him, and we know from the Lord's night message that it was in the plan for him to go to Rome.
Going back in our lesson to Paul's account of his commission by the Lord Jesus, at the time of his conversion, which is a little more full here than in the other two records, note the assurance of deliverance from the people and from the gentiles (verses 10, 17), and compare Jer. 1, S. 19; Isa. xlii, 2. Then in lesson verse 18, how full and clear and simple his instructions, showing that all unsaved people are in darkness and under the power of Satan, but that by the gospel they may obtain light and deliverance, the forgiveness of sins and an eternal inheritance, the only condition being that they repent and turn to God and then prove the reality of their repentance by their works (verse 20). Not that God needs any works of ours to prove to Him our sincerity, for He reads the heart, but good works prove to men the reality of our faith in Christ (Titil, 8). Paul declared that by the help of God he had continued to teach the death and resurrection of Christ that He might be a light to Jews and gentiles, as Moses and the prophets had testified (verses 22, 23).
Concerning the sufferings and glory of Christ, of which all the prophets spake, according to I Pet. 1, 11, see Gen. iil, 15, 21, 24; Ex. xil, Lev. xvl, Ps. xxil, Isn. iil and others concerning Christ as the hope of Israel, and the restoration and salvation of all Israel see Jer. xvil, 13; xxil, 5-8; xxxl, 31-34; xxxl, 41; xxxl, 14-16, 23-26; Ezek. xxxl, 21-28; Dan. iil, 21-27; Mic. vil, 19, 20; Zeph. iil, 14-20; Zach. ii, 10-13; vill, 22, 23; xiv, 9, 16, 17; Ps. ii, xxil, kvil, cx.

Books II and III of "The Iliad of Homer" were discussed. Each of the members present seemed by their questions and expressions, to be very much interested and impressed with the fact that only barnest endeavors on her part, could make the work pleasureable and profitable. Books IV, V. VI, VII and VIII were assigned for the next lesson on October 23rd. Members present were Miss Edith T. Bythewood. Miss Florence Callen, Mrs. Jas. R. Davis, Mrs. W. G.

DR. A. J. WILLIAMS GOES
TO NORTH CAROLINA
Dr. Albert J. Williams who has been spending a few weeks here, left Sunday for Lawrensville, N. C., where he will probably locate. Dr. Williams, who is a native of this city, is a graduate of literary department of Atlanta University and also the dental department of Howard University. Washington, D. C. Dr. Williams' many friends here expect that he will make a great success of dentistry as he is one of the most estimable young men this city has produced.
