The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIII LEADING WHITE CITIZENS TO UPHOLD THE LAW Resolutions Condemning Crime Wave Passed By Body Nashville, Tenn, March 2—Sunday afternoon, February 24, in this city at Wilson Auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. there was organized by leading white citizens a Law and Order League for the suppression of lynch law. The meeting of the 24th followed a preliminary meeting of February 17th when a committee of seven, consisting of Dr. Edwin Mims, chairman; Judge George N. Tillman, Dr. Cray E. Morgan, C. A. Craig, Bruce R. Payne, P. D. Maddin and Lee J. Loventhal, was appointed to draft resolutions and to submit a plan of action to the meeting of the 24th. The meeting on the 24th was called to order by Chancellor J. H. Kirkland of Vanderbilt University who nominated Judge George N. Tillman as chairman of the meeting. The meeting was attended, according to the Nashville Banner of the 25th inst., which contains a full account of the proceedings, by the foremost men in education, business and professional life of Nashville, including Judge Samuel Cole Williams of the Supreme Court, Mayor Gupton of Nashville, and many others. The resolutions adopted occupied nearly three columns in the Nashville Banner of February 25th and are signed by twenty-six leading citizens of Nashville. The Law and Order League is to be incorporated as a general welfare corporation, the specific purposes of the corporation being outlined as follows: "The organization shall be known as the Law and Order League. "The object of the league shall be to bring about a campaign of education and by all other lawful means, the development of a sound public sentiment that will lead to the prompt and certain enforcement of existing laws for the prevention and punishment of crime. "To aid in the preparation and enactment of whatever new laws may be necessary for securing early and effective punishment of crimes and the maintenance of law and order. "To create and arouse a more active public sentiment in the young and old in favor of enforcement of law and to combat the evils of lawlessness. "To cultivate a spirit of higher respect for the majesty of the law, for the officers by whom and the agencies by which it is administered and to uphold the officers of the law in the performance of their duties. "To hold public meetings, prepare and distribute literature, provide lectures, and to urge the pulpit, press and schools to stress the necessity for the suppression of crime and the maintenance of law and order, to the end that mob violence and at least the more serious crimes shall be condemned by public sentiment and certainly punished by the established processes of the law. "The activities of this league shall be absolutely non-political—except in the direct advancement of the objects of its organization." The following excerpts from the resolutions are submitted: "We protest with all the emphasis we can command against atrocities that are too barbaric to be recited. We condemn any official who may be held responsible for the overthrow or non-enforcement of law. But we are forced to confess that the silence of the best people in the presence of this distressing situation and their unwillingness to grapple with it have helped to produce the conditions out of which have sprung lawless and frenzied mobs and timid officers of the law. We believe that the overwhelming sentiment of the citizens of this community and state is against this betrayal of law COLORED LAD GOES TO WEST POINT Military School Opens Doors Again to The Negro Race Dayton, O.—Byron Alexander. 17, colored, of 107 Gard avenue, has been named by Congressman Warren Gard as the appointee to West Point Military academy. Young Alexander, who grad- nated last year from Slivers, passed the preliminary test held in Dayton with the highest honor. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Forest Alexander. THE NEGRO STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION By J. H Wilson, Professor of Latin, Walker Baptist Inst, Augusta, Ga. The call for the teachers of Georgia to meet in Savannah for the purpose of a reorganization of the Negro State Teachers' Association was indeed a worthy one. It was highly gratifying to see the large number of teachers present and note the deep interest that all took in the too short session. Georgia having formerly had an organization of this kind, the questions that seem to be foremost in the minds of the teachers (some of them) are: What is the use of such an organization? If such an organization is perfected, what is the best way to make it a success? To the mind of one who is deeply interested in such a movement there are these suggestions: For an organization of this nature to meet with the greatest degree of success, it must be all embracing. The effort must be made to reach every section of Georgia. The organization must stand for more than the mere meeting of a set of teachers once a year to pull off some stale speeches that even their anxious classes are tired of hearing. The state should be divided into a number of districts. Each district should be comprised of a certain number of schools. These districts should have annual meetings known as district meetings, in debating, declaiming, essaying and athletics. The winner in each of these feats should be taken to the annual meeting of the association which should meet at some central point at a time of the year when all of the teachers can be present. These district meets will encourage the teachers of their particular districts to take an active part in the state association in the way that letters and circulars cannot. These meets will put every section of the state to work in a way that will begin permanent success to an organization that the Negro teachers of Georgia are standing in great need of. To the district doing the best work at the annual meeting of the association in debating, declaiming, essaying and athletics, a trophy should be given. These trophies should be brought back to each session of the association and contested for as before. An annual contest of this kind will create a high degree of enthusiasm and will do much in helping to train the young Negro in forenic and athletic contests. This is no small undertaking and it cannot be worked out in a day. Yet it can be done in a short time by an energetic committee of men and women who want to see the Georgia Negro Teachers' Association second to none in America. A. B. The above is the likeness of Mr. Paul R. Gray of Springfield, Mass., who invented the Gray Automatic Chute, a time and labor saving device which is being used by several large manufacturing plants. Mr. Gray is well known here, where he lived for many years prior to his going north a few years ago. While Mr. Gray is in the city he is placing his invention before the large manufactures, all of whom have spoken well of the device and several no doubt will install it. will meet at Urban League headquarters, Sunday at 4 p. m.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MARCH 9TH, 1918 Jeans Funds Teachers Meets Next Week DEMONSTRATOR E. A. WILLIAMS TO ADDRESS GATHERING Hope to Make "White Way" Across Southern States The Jeanes Fund workers of Georgia and other southern states will meet at Tuskegee, March 12th and 13th, to discuss the many problems which confront the rural worker. One of the problems necessary to the success of every endeavor is co-operation. Mr. Dugene A. Williams, district agent of the Ga. State Industrial College, has been invited to address the workers on "Community Co-operation." The phase of community co-operation which Mr. Williams has been asked to speak on is "Home Beautifying" and is extended through Prof. Geo. D. Godard, director of the Jeans Fund Workers of Georgia., as a result of a white wash and paint campaign which Miss Jaunita Conyers, home demonstration agent and Mr. Williams are conducting on the Fort Aryle road, Chatham county. Springfield Guyton, Ga., Newington, Ga., Oliver, Ga., Cameron, Zeigler, Sylvania, Millen, Midville, Wadley and Tennille, Ga. The school or some church is being made the center of this campaign, thus beginning at the heart of each community. This white wash paint is made of lime, cement, rice, soap, salt, alum, blueing, syrup and coloring matter. The demonstrator stated the paint will last four or five years. The cost completing a house including fence etc., ranges between $86 and $1.05, which is within the reach of every person living in the rural district. The demonstrators of Georgia intended to make a "white way" across the state but with the aid of the Jeanes Fund workers, an effort will be made to make a white way across the southern states. Mr. Williams left the city this week to address the Teachers and Farmers' Institute of Wheeler and Telfair counties at McKae, Ga., on "Food Production and Conservation" and attend a ham show by Agent O. S. Oneal of Ft. Valley. 1,000 hams were on exhibition. Several hundred farmers attended this meeting and many important speakers both white and colored were present. On his return from Tuskegee, Mr. Williams will pay official visits to many other agents in Georgia, to explain the food production and white wash campaign. NEW BEAUTY SHOP OPENED ON MONDAY The Nu-Life Beauty Shop, 530 West Broad street opened for inspection on last Monday. The hours for receiving were from 9 a.m. to 12 o'clock at night and during that time there was a steady stream of callers. The parlor is very neatly arranged and the fixtures and other equipment are of the very latest design. The proprietors Mrs. Edna Simpkins and Mrs. V. B. Roberts, received many congratulations among them was a letter from Mme. Estelle of New York, who founder the Nu-Life system. The room was very artistically decorated for the occasion and a large vase of flowers which was given by friends of the ladies added much to the beautifying of the place. PARTY OF BRUNSWICK MEN MOTORED TO CITY SUNDAY A congenial party of progressive business men of Brunswick motored to the city on last Sunday morning and remained until mid-night. The party consisted of Phoenix F. Williams, W. H. Johnson, W. A. Stewart, Dr. William Hammonds and Nathan Trezant. Upon reaching the city they drove to Savannah Home Association whose guests they were for the day and prepared to take in its pleasures that had been arranged for their enjoyment. After refreshing themselves, they partook of a well prepared lunch and later in the afternoon the party took a drive over the city accompanied by several members of the association. At night, after eating dinner, they were taken to the Eureka Club where they were cordially received. Everything possible was done to make their stay pleasant and they left for home well satisfied with what they received at the hands of their Savannah friends. It is said that unpolished rice is better for the health than the polished rice. Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans Dies Suddenly WAS A PROMINENT NEGRO IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Other Interesting News of the Nation's Capitol -Washington, D. C., March 6.—Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans, internationally known as an educator of the most effective caliber, dled suddenly last Thursday night at his home, 1910 Vermont Avenue, N. W., Heart disease, complicated with other ailments, was the cause. Dr. Evans had not been in good health for a number of years. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at St. Luke's P. E. Church, of which he had long been a member. The spacious edifice was packed with representatives of the school system, the religious and professional forces of the city and of the many federal departments. The last sad rites were conducted by Rev. T. J. Brown, rector of St. Luke's assisted by Rev. O. L. Mitchell, rector of St. Mary's P. E. Church, and Rev. A. W. F. Collier, assistant at St. Luke's. The music was furnished by the combined choirs of St. Luke's and St. Mary's churches, directed by W. Scott Mayo, and solos were rendered by Mrs. Charlette Wallace-Murray, of the public school, and Miss Revella Hughes, of Howard University. The culogy, touching the life, character and valued public services of the deceased, was pronounced by Rev. W. V. Tunnell, of Howard University. It was the ablest oration that has been heard on an occasion of this kind within the memory of this generation. The pall hearers were, honorary, Dr. Charles I. West, Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Prof. W. S. Montgomery and Thomas L. Jones; active, George C. Smith, Lieut. Col. Arthur Brooks, R. R. Homer, J. Finley Wilson, W. J. Singleton and L. Melendez King. Dr. Evans has been actively identified with the public schools of Washington for twenty-three years, rising from the ranks by shear merit. It was he who developed the industrial idea in the local schools, working out the fundamentals in the old Mott school, which finally crystallized into the magnificent Armstrong Manual Training School on P Street, of which he became principal in 1902 and remained there until 1912. He built up the membership and teaching corps of this institution and it takes rank with the leading technical high schools of the land. Dr. Evans was an officer in the First Separate Battalion, District National Guard, a factor in the summer school at Hampton Institute, and was greatly admired by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. In late months he was contributing editor to the Washington Eagle and at the time of his death was head of an important division in the War department. He is survived by a wife, a son, who is a teacher in the schools of St. Louis, and a daughter, who is in the kindergarten department of the Washington schools. The life of Dr. Evans was a brilliant success. His work as an educator, soldier, journalist and a man of affairs in this community will keep his memory green throughout the years. Howard University will establish collegiate courses in agriculture and will confer the degree of bachelor of science in agriculture, starting with the next year's work. It has been felt by the trustees that Howard University can help greatly in meeting the demand for scientific agriculturists, farm demonstrators and experts in rural education, as well as to give an opportunity to those who may wish to prepare for the different lines of work in the federal service, such as plant inspectors, plant pathologists and horticulturists. Some of the main features of the new course will be agricultural chemistry, animal husbandry, horticulture, dairying, poultry husbandry and rural sociology. This is a timely recognition of the value of industrial training in the betterment of the everyday life of the nation. Representation for Negroes in the Department of Labor is assured. Secretary W. B. Wilson has announced intention to appoint a special advisor on Negro problems. This action was taken upon the advice of the advisory council after presentation of a peti- (Continued on Page Eight) STRINGENT ANTI-VICE LAW PASSED BY CITY COUNCIL Ordinance Expected to Reduce Immorality to Minimum. Augusta. Feb. 7.—City council last night put another swer in the lid on immorality. An ordinance was passed making it illegal for a driver of a public conveyance to transport women for immoral purposes, for one person to give to another information regarding immoral women or horses of immorality, for a person to entice another, on the street, to follow him or her for immoral purposes, or to rent a room within the city for the purpose of assignation. The ordinance, drawn and presented at the request of the Camp Hancock authorities, was passed without a dissenting vote. The penalty for violation is a fine of $100 or imprisonment for ninety days, either or both in the discretion of the recorder. Major Charles F. Clement, commander of the military police of the Twenty-eighth Division, appeared before council to urge the adoption of the ordinance. Major Clement made it clear that the purpose of the ordinance was to aid the government in the successful prosecution of the war. He made the rather startling statement that there are, at present, in the city of Augusta approximately 800 prostitutes and that 82 per cent of these are diseased. It is essential to efficiency, said the major, that venereal diseases among the soldiers be stamped out or reduced to a minimum. Major Clement urged co-operation on the part of the city in this matter, mentioning the fact that one army camp area is to be abandoned because of lack of co-operation between the military and municipal authorities. DR. CLAYBORNE TAKES WEST SIDE OFFICE Dr. O. C. Clayhorne who for the past several years has had his office at 217 Randolph street, where he resides has recently opened a new office on the west side in the Savannah Pharmacy building, West Broad and Maple lane, above the drug store. The new west side offices are composed of a suite of two rooms very nicely appointed. RELIGIOUS PROGRAM TO BE CONDUCTED AT CAMPS Atlanta, Ga.-At the recent conference of all Camp General Secretaries with Southeastern Department Headquarters Staff held in Atlanta, it was decided to conduct in the camps an intensive religious program during Easter Week, ending Easter Sunday. March 31st. "As Easter Week commemorates the last seven days of our Saviour's stay on this earth; likewise Easter Week of 1918 may be close to the last week for many of our boys in khaki and blue on this continent for many months to come," said Associate Executive Secretary W. W. Alexander, a Methodist minister of the Southern Conference, discussing the plan at the conference. "The men soon will be sailing overseas." "During Easter Week, away from home and church, men will be hungering in the camps for the proper religious services of all creeds. Nightly during Easter Week ministers representing the various denominations should conduct religious meetings in the Y. M. C. A. huts, with a service for all on Easter Sunday." The Camp Secretaries have returned to the training camps prepared to obtain the co-operation of the curious churches from the nearby cities and towns in arranging the intensive Easter Week religious program. Palms and Easter lilies will be used in decorating all Red Triangle buildings. CENTRAL PARK INSTITUTE NEWS Last week was examination and some hard work was done.

Let us support it liberally at all times. Our Trust In this materialistic age, when old things are passing away, and the transition period tends to laxity and unbelief, it is refreshing to know that the Mason's trust is still in God—the great Jehovah of our fathers—the Supreme Architect of the Universe. As the ages come and go—as creeds are made and unmade—our faith remains unshaken and our hope is not dimmed. The Mason's God is not a mere abstraction—is not some far-off, mysterious being—but is 'our Father,' who is very near to us in time of trouble as well as in days of joy, and who will not forsake us nor forget us. Surely such a faith is better than riches, better than fame, better than power. It is our tower of defense, our rock of refuge. Masons may declare in very truth: "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." The Strength of Masonry The most hardened pessimist in the fraternity cannot but see the enormous potentialities of Masonry. In its teaching it touches the very vital of most absorbing questions upon which mankind has ever speculated, the relation of man to God, the relation of man to man and the relation of man to himself. These questions are all touched upon in the great teachings of Masonry, although thousands receive the degrees and never realize that they are even approached. From the standpoint of the individual, then, Masonry contains the pabulum for his growth and development to a degree unguessed by most of us. From the standpoint of society, Masonry presents an organization dedicated to the uplift of the human race, which in numbers, in personnel and in social influence is unsurpassed. Where it has been allowed to show its influence the result has been instantaneous and powerful. Then it is not true that we are wasting our strength.—Masonic News. Masonry teaches men to think less selfishly of themselves and more for others; it shows them why they were sent into the world, and develops the instincts of benevolence and charity. The fraternizing of men whose religious or political opinions may widely differ is a reformation which Masonry largely promotes, and the influence is expassed. Where it has been allowed to show its influence the result has been instantaneous and powerful. Then is it not true that we are wasting our strength—Masonic News. Masonry teaches men to think less selfishly of themselves and more for others; it shows them why they were sent into the world, and develops the instincts of benevolence and charity. The fraternizing of men whose religious or political opinions may widely differ is a reformation which Freemasonry largely promotes, and the influence of which is incalculable. Man is a social being; it is right that after serious work in the lodge room there should be that rational enjoyment which we call goodfellowship.—Selected. --- The mission of Freemasonry is to make men better, to refine their thots and purify their dreams, to broaden man's outlook, to lift up his altitude, to establish in amplitude and resoluteness the life of man in all its relations. Masonic Freemasonry. Introduction into Masonry Every step necessary to the process of induction into Masonry should be so fitting as to prepare the candidate in mind and heart for the reception and retention of its doctrines. T the end, the officers who are charged with the duty of clothing the novitiate should be circumspectly careful of their words and their conduct. Very much depends upon first impressios. If, in the preparation room there is permitted censure of conduct and slippancy of speech, these will pre-occupy the mind of the candidate and the chances for favorable and lasting impressions will be almost impossible. When the process of preparation begins, no one should be permitted to converse with or suggest to the candidate anything which will not prepare him for the lessons which are inseparable from the conference of the degree. If every step in the process is not dignified and considerate, he will not be favorably impressed and his promises of faithfulness and loyalty to his obligations will be frequently disregarded. The membership in general should be thoughtful and considerate, even in the presence of each other, especially in that of the novice. He is critically observing the words and actions of his new friends. If they are unkind and coarse in conduct and profane in speech he will be forced to conclude that Masonry is a farce.—Masonic Home Journal. It is asserted that there are only about ten per cent. of the members of Masonic lodge who are really Masons. Ninety per cent. who have been brought into the light have been unable to see anything.—Masonic Journal. There are 95 Masonic lodges in the THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY MARCH 9TH, 1918 ON FREE TRIAL— NO DEPOSIT, NO EXPENSE, we will send you a new Acousticon.

BEACH INSTITUTE NEWS Mr. Townsend, of Athol, Mass., a former instructor in Charleston, S. C., was present at chapel exercises of Beach Institute last Wednesday morning.

The food situation would have been worse had it not been for the preservation of vegetables and fruits in the homes, and people are to be urged to do so again. --- The Sub-Committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows at its recent meeting in Philadelphia, decided to postpone its Biennial Movable Committee (B. M. C.) meeting as a patriotic duty. The Sub Committee felt that at this time of urgent need, the order should not take members away from their work and cause them to spend the money necessary for the meeting, nor tax the already overburdened railroads with the thousands who always attend these meetings.

Hotels Have Learned that there is the least waste from one third ounce pieces. the city's business district, housed in its own building. The bank occupies the lower floor, the other floors being used for many different kinds of offices. G. H. Bowen, one of the most wideawake colored real estate agents in the South, occupies a large section of this commodious building. The versatile and affable assistant cashier, E. C. Blackshear, exercises great pains and patience in answering questions and showing visitors even the minute details of this bank where resources are pushing a half million dollars. This bank does a mail order banking business, and with its modern equipment of the best constructed fire and burglar-proof safety vaults, it should be the pride and receive the patronage of the race everywhere. The colored bank at Waveross of which Mr. Carlton Gaines is president, was inspired by the Wage Earners Bank. Northside Public School of which Prof. T. H. Thweat is principal, gives a folk-tune and classical concert at McGraw's auditorium Thursday night March 14. The entire public school system is aiding the Northside school to make this concert a success.

Creagh is no longer lonsome since his wife who has been away for three months as returned wits one increase in the family in the person of a fine girl. Mr. J. C. McGraw, one of Wayeross' wide-awake business men has gone to Brooks county to look after farming interests. He expects his plantation in that section to do much to solve Uncle Sam's food problem. Two great colored singers, Mesdames Anita Pattle Brown of Chicago, and Demby of Boston are expected to appear here soon. The Wayeross public will not fail to give these noted singers a great welcome.

Certainly he will have the active co-operation of all the citizens of color. IN MEMORY HARRIS-In sad but loving memory of Mr. Alex. Harris, who departed this life March 5. 1917. Though but a year, dear father since you took your early flight, it seems to me that its only yesterday that death stole away with you and left me all alone. I realize that you would not live always, yet, it is so hard for me to give you up during the past twelve months. I shall meet you some day at the river where bright angels' feet have trod with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God. Que the margin of the river, washing up its silver spray, we will walk and work hip ever, all the happy golden day. NEWTON-In memory of my dear mother who departed this life on March 4th, 1917, Mrs. Ollie Newton. We often think of her in silence, No eyes may see us.weep; THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY MARCH 9TH,1918 We trust that Mrs. Housewife will not buy more food than she would have bought before the war, that is that she will not hoard food, which is unlawful. It is to be hoped that she will buy just enough of that which is needed and not pay any attention to the current tumors that there will be a serious shortage of food. Our advice is to buy the usual amount of food and the United States Food Administration will see that there is sufficient food available for all of us, thus preventing hardships. MORTUARY Wm. C. Golf After a brief illness of a few days, Mr. Wm. C. Goff died on Sunday afternoon, Feb 24, at his home, 915 Elliott avenue. He was buried on Thursday Feb. 28, from Harmon St. Baptist church, Rev. Wm. Durden, pastor, of which he was a member for several years. He was a member of Mt. Moriah Lodge of Masons, Chas. Sumner Lodge, No. 87 K. of P. and Chatham Lodge of Oddfellows. He leaves a loving wife, little daughter, sister, father, brother-in-law and other relatives to mourn his death. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the many friends for their kindness shown the bereaved family during the illness and death of Mr. Wm. C. Goff, also for the many floral tributes. A number of wealthy women of New York City have pledged their households to live on voluntary food conservation rations until the war is over. They have started a campaign to get their wealthy friends to sign the same pledge. This instance of the rich people, who have the most and can spare the most, agreeing to do more than the country expects of each individual citizen, is most gratifying. MNE. ESTELLE SURPRISED New York. On Saturday evening February 16th, a surprise was tendered Mme. Estelle by her mid-winter class. Indeed it was a real surprise. The party gathered at the residence of Mrs. Josephine B. Tate and at 12:30 o'clock marched to the home of Mme. Estelle where Mrs. Madge G. Flemming gained admission and the crowd followed. Mme was getting ready to retire after a day's labor in her college and had just returned from the South in the interest of "Nu-Life System" a few days previous. It was quite a treat and made her feel that her class had her at heart and was thinking about her while she was away. Dancing was indulged in and refreshments served in a way that one wouldn't think that the war was on. At 3 o'clock Mr. J. H. Anderson, editor of the Amsterdam News, presented an eight-day parlor clock in behalf of Mrs. J. B. Tate. Julia White and Mrs. Barron Mme. Estelle expressed her appreciation and quite an enjoyable time was spent by all until the wee hours. Quite a number was present, among whom was Mrs. Anna Hemmings of Washington, D. C. Try not to use any more sugar than necessary. One sweet dish is enough at a meal. The United States Food Administration has but one police force, in its volunteer food conservation campaign, the American woman, and she has responded nobly. She is depended upon to see that the regulations of the Food Administration are observed by the few who do not know what this country expects of them. There are always a few people who refuse to do what their government asks them. But it is the duty of all of us not to allow a few to continue to hinder the people of the earth in the struggle of freedom of nations. food 1 buy it with thought 2 cock it with care 3 serve just enough 4 save what will keep 5 out what would spoil 6 hemo-green is best LARVUS ALGES Weldon Lodge No. 26, I.

Shipping Rides --- Hampton, Va., March 2—War is making inroads on the Hampton Institute staff and student body. Hampton has "loaned" Charles H. Williams, physical director for boys since 1910, to the Phelps-Stokes Foundation and the Federal Council of the churches of Christ in America for the remainder of the school year. Mr. Williams will begin at once to make a careful study of recreational activities, in and around 16 army cantonments, as they effect colored troops. He will also study religious and social conditions. The intercollegiate sports in which Hampton has been scheduled to take part are all over. The inter-class athletics will be carried on, according to general plans already made, under the direction of Major Allen W. Washington, Hampton's Commandant of Cadets. Charles H. Williams, who has been so successful in training winning teams in football, basketball, baseball, and track athletics, hails from Camp Nelson, Ky. He received his trade and academic training at Hampton Institute, where he was graduated in 1900. Then he spent one year in the physical directors' course at the Y. M. C. A. College, Springfield, Mass. Since 1910, with quiet effectiveness and with uncommon thoroughness, Mr. Williams has worked early and late, summer and winter, for the building up of strong, pure bodies among the 500 boys at Hampton Institute and for the development of athletic teams that have reflected credit on Hampton and the entire colored population. Mr. Williams has succeeded in carrying out successfully his wise aim of giving boys all-round training, rather than training a few winning teams which would merely advertise Hampton Institute. His excellent work has attracted the attention of men who are interested in national problems. Atlanta. Ga.—An intercollegiate benefit concert will be given at the Auditorium-Armory on Friday evening March 22.

The price of admission is: General admission to dress circle and balcony, 25 cents, children under twelve 15. LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE TO SUPPRESS CRIME and order, but it needs to be organized into definite action. If we do not do something we realize that what has happened in other places is just as likely to happen in Nashville or any other community any day. As for ourselves, we will be silent no longer. We not merely protest, but are resolved to do our utmost to prevent such catastrophes in the future. "We have a strong conviction that lynching is unjustifiable under any and all circumstances, and is wrong in the sight of man and God. Whatever may be said of a certain wild justice in pioneer days, or of conditions that prevailed after the Civil War, we cannot now defend lynching. We must condemn it at all times, and especially since it has become associated with the monstrous orgies of latter days. If one group of men decide that lynching is justifiable for one crime, another will decide that it is equally justifiable for another, and so on, until, as the facts established, it is resorted to for every sort of crime or offense. Reliable statistics show that only about one-fourth of the lynchings in recent years have been for crime of rape. Nor are the victims confined to the Negro race, for white men and women have been lynched as well. A mob knows no reason, makes no distinction and sets no limit upon its passion. Mob violence is a contagious social disease, and instead of deterring crime it incites it. Lawlessness begets lawlessness. If lynching occurred in every state, it would be none the less serious in any community. The fact that it has become a national menace should not weaken or mitigate local efforts against the practice." "While public sentiment is thus being educated, we shall use every opportunity to bring to bear upon the responsible officers the pressure of organized public opinion. We will uphold them in their enforcement of law. We request judges to make mob law a special subject of instruction to all grand juries. We urge sheriffs to prepare for any emergency that may arise. We notice in the newspapers that the judge and attorney-general of that district have already taken steps to investigate the most recent lynching in this state. They must be aware of the provisions of the ouster law of 1915, that allows them, or any ten citizens of the county in which the lynching occurs, to institute proceedings to oust any officer who fails to do his duty. The same law provides that the governor shall have power, and it shall be his duty, whenever he has knowledge that reasonable grounds exist for the proceedings authorized by this act against any state, county or municipal officer, to ask the attorney-general of the state, the district attorney, as the case may be, to institute and prosecute the same against the offending officer. This law has been construed by the Supreme Court to be applicable to sheriffs, and in the case of Sheriff Reichman of Shelby county, it was held that unless the sheriff uses all means provided by law to enforce the law, he has failed in his duty. It is apparent that it is just as much the sheriff's duty to protect human life and keep down mob violence as it is to prevent the sale of liquor. It is also worthy of note that the Supreme court has held that the officer is not entitled to trial by jury, but the proceedings are summary in character and the judge himself can render judgment on the facts." The resolutions further "earnestly invite the cooperation of the colored race," and refer to the unfortunate "impression which prevails with some that Negroes tend to expend their indignation against the crime of lynching and to lose sight of the crime which often leads to lynching. We insist that the condemnation of the cause shall be as unqualified as the condemnation of the consequences. The attitude of the Negro toward the Negro criminal is often too protective and that of the whites too retaliatory." Then follows an appeal to the leaders of both races to "obliterate the condemnation and punishment of those who as individuals or as communities, would take the law into their own hands." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has ad dressed a letter to the officers of the new Law and Order League why sire them that as an organization it o'vh not to wait until the next outrage occurs but that they should see to it that prompt and effective action is taken by the Governor, and the authorities of Tennessee to bring to justice those who so foully outraged the laws of Tennessee in the Estill Springs horror on February 12th. BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTER By Albon L. Holscy If this particular little article was not already named "Booster Number Three," I would call it "A Conference I would like to see." You know this thing of getting together is "in the air." Talk with men and women of the race and all of them are agreed that what we need is for the race to get together. Race unity, race loyalty and all the other terms applied mean simply that there should be more pulling together among us for permanent progress along all lines, and I noticed last week that half a dozen or more of our leading papers were pulling hard as usual for us to pull together. Now, we return to that Conference that I would to see. It is this: In each city or town of any size, let there be an occasional conference between housewives of our race and the Negro merchants. There is every reason, it seems to me, to commend and encourage such local conferences. In the first place, women purchase Super cent of the merchandise consumed in homes, which means that colored women have control over a "mighty big" purse; a purse that jingles a billion dollars a year. These good women have said in the past some of our merchants charged higher prices; fail to give good service, to carry a diversified stock, to keep their stores attractive, etc. We know that many of our business men are modern in every particular and cannot be classed with slip-shod merchants, but the fact remains that if more of that billion dollars was spent with Negro business men, many not complain; they do this willingly that victory may be won. The gratitude of the world will be for those who have joined with the United States Food Administration in so managing our food supplies that democracy may be victorious. When it is over "over there" what can you say that you have done to help win this war? You can't be a soldier or a sailor, but if you just help pass the message on that "food will win the war" you will be helping to bring victory to a peace-loving world. Yes, you can do something—where there is a will you will surely find a way. Miss G. A.

Whoever calls a conference in your city will begin a movement of far reaching possibilities. All of which reminds me that the progressive Local Negro Business League at Saranah, Ga., has decided to have a Ladies Auxiliary. That local league is a model in many respects.

Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Eugene Kinckle Jones secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes; and Prof. Thomas Jesse Jones, educational director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund. No separate bureau will be established for the present. The expert who will be appointed will advise the secretary with regard to the best course to pursue in order to insure the most effective volunteer cooperation of Negro workers in meeting the industrial needs of the nation. The details as to the form of the organization for the administration of Negro problems has yet to be worked out. The 15th Street Presbyterian church is to sell its valuable property at 15th and 1 streets, to make way for a big office building. The congregation will follow the uptown trend of population. The Washington Conference of the M. E. Church will hold its annual conference at the Mt. Zion M. E. church, Georgetown, beginning March 15th. It will be the fifty-fifth session and Bishop W. F. McDowell will preside. Special Assistant to the Secretary of War Emmett J. Scott has been to Hampton Institute, where he delivered a highly significant address on war conditions and their relation to the race. He continues to get excellent results from the people he so happily represents. With the approach of milder weather the calling in and the movement of colored draftees from the southern states to the northern cantonments will begin. The work of the colored people in the training activities campaign was reviewed by the Bethel Literary and Historical Association on Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. The speakers were Miss Marie A. D. Madre, in charge of the Woman's Auxiliary. Judge Robert H. Terrell, chairman of the colored department; Harold Keats of the general committee on War Savings, and Frank Wells, secretary of the auxiliary. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis continues to win elocutionary and travelogue honors in and around Pittsburg, Pa., which point she has made her professional headquarters for the winter season. Despite temptations to join stock companies and to enter vaudeville aggregations, Miss Davis has stuck determinedly to the legitimate drama and classic recital and easily stands at the head in this particular field of endeavor. The time limit for taking the war risk insurance for army, navy and related services has been extended to April 12th. Our colored men in the several camps have subscribed liberally to this safe and safe protection for their dependents and an even greater proportion should take advantage of it before it is too late.

Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle, is the District of Columbia's member of the executive committee of the National Negro Press Association. In all probability, Mr. Wilson will soon take steps to organize a local press association as an auxiliary to the national body. The town is full of able newspaper men, gathered here from every section of the country, and a great service could be rendered the press and the race by mobilizing them and developing a market for their wares as special writers. Prof. Arthur U. Craig, special agent of the Food Administration in charge of work among the colored people of the country, was a visitor at the recent session of the National Negro Press Association in Nashville, Tenn., and delivered a very comprehensive address to that body on how the Negro in his various employments and activities may aid the nation in the conservation, and production of food. Mr. Craig still maintains an office in Washington in connection with the National Food Administration and will soon have an important announcement to make touching campaign plans among the ten millions of Negroes of the country. Captain Joseph H. Montgomery, of the treasury department and director of the Tuskegee Institute bureau of information, is visiting relatives and friends at his old home, Charleston, S. C. Capt. Montgomery may spring a happy surprise upon his return to the nation's capitol. The Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, is mentioned in connection with an appointment as chaplain in the National army. The immense Zion connection, with nearly a half million members, is without representation in the list of chaplains in the army establishment. Carter Lockhart has been rejected as a soldier at Camp Meade on account of physical disabilities, and has resumed his post as house manager at Dudley's Mid-City theatre.
