St. Louis Argus

JUDGE D. P. DYER STOPS SEGREGATION Federal Jurist, In Sweeping Decision, Enjoins City Of St. Louis From Operating New Law. Says Negroes Should Have Same Rights Under Constitution As Other Citizens. Scores Ordinances Based On Prejudice. The segregation ordinances, which were passed by a popular vote of the people of this city on Feb. 29, last, were virtually killed by a decision handed down by Judge D. P. Dyer in the United States court here last Monday. As was exclusively predicted in the last week's issue of the Argus a sweeping victory was gained by the plaintiffs. A large number of Colored people, both men and women were present, and when the decision was rendered a sign of relief was manifested. The attorneys for the plaintiff made a strong appeal against the ordinance, led by Col. W. H. Blodgett, while Associate City Counselor Paul Griffin appeared for the city. Judge Dyer's Decision In the most eloquent language Judge Dyer handed down the following decision: DISTINGUISHED VISITOR AT THE Y.M.C.A. MR. MESSER TELLS BOARD OF MR. ROSENWALD'S GIFT. TEAM 14 STILL IN LEAD. TEAM 8 RUNNING CLOSE. History was made at the Colored Branch Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday evening when three very distinguished visitors dropped in at the Branch to inspect the work and to address the Board of Managers.

The debate has taken a very wide range. Practically there is but one legal question before the Court for decision, and that question is the validity of the two ordinances in question. That being true, it is also true, as counsel has said, that the Court's feelings personally should have nothing to do with determining this one question. Judges are very much like other people. They all try to do right and they try to administer justice. "Nine years ago on this bench I took an oath. One of its provisions was 'that you solemnly swear that you will administer justice to the rich and poor alike.' I have tried hard to live up to the obligation of that oath. I know I have made many mistakes and have fallen far short of what probably would be counted a learned judge, but I have tried to do justice between man and man. "Allusion has been made by counsel here to the fact that I have lived in this state a long time. For more than seventy years I have resided within sixty miles of where I sit today. My father came to this state from old Virginia where I was born, and settled in Lincoln county in 1841. He was the owner of Negroes. I was raised with Negroes, but as God is my judge I have tried always all my life to be just to them, and God giving me help I will continue so to the end. "I have heard all this talk about intermarriage and miscegenation and all of that fifty years ago. Arguments were then made for the purpose on scaring men out of their wits by an appeal to their prejudices. These arguments, if they may be called such, were made when the question of emancipation was up; it was the contention then that ultimately it would lead to intermarriage between the races. I believed it would not do anything of the kind then, and believe so now. Negroes do not ask for equality; whites do not ask for it; the Negroes only ask to have the same privileges as others have, the same rights under the law as others have. The plaintiffs are Negroes born in the United States; they are taxpayers of the city of St. Louis by virtue of which they are entitled under the constitution to the same legal rights as any white, native born, or any foreign born naturalized citizen of the United States. I would not be doing my duty if I hesitated to deal out equal justice to every one alike. "These ordinances I have heretofore (Continued on page 4.) SCULLIN AND GALLAGHER STEEL PLANT The employment of Colored men is increasing each week. Many responses have come from the published notice in the Argus last week. Eleven men from Chattanooga, Teen., were employed during the week, as follows: A. Simma, F. Maples, E. Moore, R.' Mills, E. Buchanan, E. Halliday, C. Davis, O. Pearson, W. Brown, A. Hastie, and W. Montgomery. In connection with the religious service last Sunday, Rev. Berry presented each employee with a palm. DR. SCARBOROUGH SPEAKS Dr. W. S. Scarborough spoke at: St. Paul's Church last Monday night to a large and appreciative audience, sub- ject: "The Mission of the Educated Negro," and on Tuesday visited Sum- mer High School and addressed the students. M. B. JUDGE D. P. DYER United States District Court Judge Who Handed Down the Famous Segregation Decision DR. HENRY ALLEN BOYD Dr. Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., made a brief stop in St. Louis Tuesday, enroute to Detroit, Mich. During his short stay he spent most of his time with the editor of the Argus, discussing the plans and operations of the National Negro Press As- sociation of which Mr. Boyd is secretary. He was joined at the Argus office by his brother, J. T. Dixon, of 2728 Morgan street, and was the guest of Dr. Chas. Henry Phillips, Jr., 4247 Finney, at lunch. Owing to a telegram announcing the death of Mrs. Joanna B. Moore, Mr. Boyd cancelled all engagements and returned to his home on an early train Tuesday evening.

POSTMASTER ACCUSED OF DEER LYNCHED BY MOB Chipley, Fla., April 17.—John Dykes, postmaster of Green Head, Washington county, who had been arrested for killing S. A. Walker, a naval stores operator, was taken last night from the Vernon Jail by a mob of masked men who overpowered the deputy in charge, and lynched. Warning The mob spirit is surely taking hold of the people of the United States. Justice has been "winked at." The mob spirit allowed to reign because the Negro was the victim. But now it is getting beyond control and white as well as black are lynched. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY The fiftieth year celebration of Rev. B. W. Stewart's ministry will take place at Wayman Chapel, Twenty-third and Wash streets, on Wednesday evening, April 26, from 8 to 11. Addresses will be given by ministers of different denominations, representatives of the schools, civic and social organizations, including the several professions and callings of life. The reception will be informal and free to the public and to all friends and acquaintances of Elder Stewart. Rev. J. D. Barksdale, D. D. Chairman; Rev. S. L. Brooks, Secretary. ST. LOUIS, MO: FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1916. MR. MESSER TELLS BOARD OF MR. ROSENWALD'S GIFT. TEAM 16 STILL IN LEAD. TEAM 8 RUNNING CLOSE. History was made at the Colored Branch Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday evening when three very distinguished visitors dropped in at the Branch to inspect the work and to address the Board of Managers. L. Wulburn Messer, of Chicago, who is secretary of the largest Y. M. C. A. in the world, was the one speaker in whom the men were most interested because he was the man to whom Mr. Rosenwald first made the offer to the Y. M. C. A. of North America. Mr. Messer told of his association with Mr. Rosenwald and of Mr. Rosenwald's interest and abiding faith in the cause of the colored men and boys. "Mr. Rosenwald was led to make his gift," said Mr. Messer, "because as a Jew he wanted to help break down the prejudice that now exists in the United States, and he felt that this gift would help bring the colored man and the white man in closer contact with one another and thus helping them to show each other." Men Messer spends in the highest words of praise of the work of the Wabash Avenue Department in Chicago and expressed his confidence that the men of St. Louis would erect their building in record time. Accompanying Mr. Messer on his visit to the Branch were Mr. Cook, of New York, and Mr. McDill, of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. The visitors were shown the record of the collections up to the present time and they thought that the men of St. Louis were contributing splendidly. In the standing of teams the race is becoming hot. No. 14 still leads, but No. 8 forging ahead in the last week, is running a close second. The total collection up to the present time is $7,623.01. Poro College - The Poro College movies will be shown at the Centennial Christian Church, 4299 Kennerly Ave. Friday evening, April 28, under the auspices of the Willing Workers' Club. No. 1, for the benefit of the church. These pictures represent not only the work at the college, but many other interesting scenes and achievements of the race in different parts of the country. The proprietors, in their travels, have succeeded in gathering a most interesting collection of scenes of the activities of the race along social and industrial lines. All of these will be shown for your enjoyment and pleasure. Admission to all, 10 seats. MEMBERS OF A. B. RICE LODGE NO. 272 U. B. P. ENTERTAINS The members of A. B. Rice Lodge, No. 272, U. B.

When I began taking the Tressa Treatments my hair was very short, stubby and uneven. Madam Mays' Magic Hair Grower has improved it wonderfully and I heartily recommend "Tressa," the Magic Hair Oil, to all who desire a growth of thick, long hair in a short time. I am still taking the Tressa treatments, and am more than pleased to submit my picture to show actual results of the Tressa Method. I can say gladly and truly that the Madam Mays' Hair Grower has really worked magically for me. One year ago my hair was not more than three inches long, but by using the Mays' Magic Hair Grower "Tressa" according to directions, my hair is now 14 inches long and thick in proportion, and growing constantly. Will be very pleased to show my picture some future time. I highly recommend "Tressa."

Dyer of the U. $..Distriet Court, rendered Monday, emrjoining the segregation measures of St. Louis, was like rolling away the stone from the-geputehre and: letting the “Christ of our political-and civil liberties arise. Judge Dyer belongs to thé Old Guard of our moral and political heroes, who, in the re- organization of our government, made the laws that~ destroyed _racialism and localism and broadened the constitutional proposi- tions that gave citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the Vnited States, and declared that ‘‘No State shall enact or enforce a law abridging the intmunities and privileges of citizens of the United States,’” - & ‘The XIV Amendment, which includes this clause, was written by Senator John B. Henderson, senator from Missouri, who was a co-worker with D. P.. Dyer in the Republican party and an associate —in-the same daw firm : It was meet that one should help make the law and that the other should interpret and administer it, and it was still more meet ~and proper that both should have fought for the success of the army: that bore thése principles upon its banners. The Judge in his deeision took oveasion togivg side stops to all the bugbears that frightened small-minded’ men on the social, racial questions. He ignored such bogies as groundless fears that he had heard chattered around for fifty years, and reduced the propositions argued before him down-to one question, and said simply, with em- phasis, that under the Constitution the Negro_ was entitled to the same rights as the white man. ‘*The Negro does not- want social equality,” said the Judge. ‘‘He wants the same rights before. the law,” ™ The Judge knew quite well, as we all know, that néithér the white man nor the Negro can get social equality by appealing to the la. It, must be obtained by individual, mutual consent. Social equality is social mutuality. The Negro wants equality’ before the law; equality in the court house, not equality.in the home; equality on the street, in common ‘carriers, on the highways and in publie institutions, not in elubs and fraternities. * Just at this hour in our history in Ameriea, when lynching Ne- groes-is running wild; when Jim Crowism is creeping farther and farther’ northward; when segregation is becoming a fad and the non-racial laws of our national Constitution are violated in the little and big cities with impunity, it is very gratifying to have a ‘‘new Daniel come to judgment," and hear the voice of Judge D. P. Dyer ring the alarm, throw the, banner of law and liberty to the breeze and call upon the nation to stand up for the rights of all men with- out regard to race, edlor or previous condition of servitude: * Our personal estimation of Judge Dyer has béen ratified by his decision on segregation. His position from early manhood was fear- lessly on-the side of right. —He-was always.‘tyours to be counted on.’ He has kept his oath of office; he has the courage of his con- —-vietions’ and will-not allow-racial. prejudices to swerve hiny from the path of: right. 7 We'do not care to indulge in enconiums on a judge, but there are not many of Judge Dyer’s type, and hence there will be no sur feit of praises. Anyway, the Negro people of Missouri and the na- tiots are overjoyed with his decision on- segregation, and, "if the praises and prayers of ten million people are worth anything in the sight of God, these praises and prayers are ascending, to the throne of God today commendably blended with the name of Judge D. P Dyer, asking that the choicest blessings in the cornucopia of God’ plentifulness may descend in spre upon his head. ‘‘Sound’ the * loud cymbals over Egypt's dam sea!”” : i ENCOURAGE THE BOYS : Ve have two eadet bands in St. Louis: the Odd Fellow - Major P.

As a citizen I examined them with care, and as a citizen I cast my vote against them, and, in my judg- ment, not’ formed particularly today, but formed before I excicised my right to vote, I believe that these ordinances are void’ and illegal and that the po- lice power claimed here cannot deprive a man of using the moncy made, by the sweat of-bis brow in buying property wherever the property’ owner will sel! it, and, when he does buy it, he has.a wight, under. the constitution and the Jawa of the United States, to occupy. it .as long as he obeys the law, and as long as the property is not made a nuance.

I have heard that before, it did mot affect me then. ahd it does not affect me now. ‘4X shall grant here a temporary in- Junction restraining - the enforcement of these ordinances, and I only say temporary ‘for the reason that it has Deen. stated that there is w case in- volving a like question now before the Supreme’ Court of’ the United States. ‘1 eT-saideat the. beginning, know- jng-this case was coming I wrote to the. clerk x dle tapeape Court for a copy of the. in the case pending there, and of the briefs filed by counsel in the case, I have examined that rec- ord, and T° have examined it in ‘the light of these ordinances and I find @ very great difference between the ordinance before the Supreme Court and the ordinances here, but being de- sirous of not taking any action on is- sues on which the Supreme Court is to pass, and whose decigion it is my duty and the duty of every other citizen of-the. United States to acquiesce in, I will make, this injunction’ temporary;, otherwise but for'the pendency of that ease I would make-it permanent. “(The order will be that theee in- fuctions as prayed for in these’ bills will be granted, a continuing order un- til the further order of this Court.’ STATEMENT OF OWERSHIP AND Publishers Argus Publishing Co.: Managing Wéitor, J- E.

G O O D A N /01 5. 18th St., Philadelphia, Pa. GET ALL YOU NEED FREE Friday, April 1916 CONVERSE IN MORSE CODE Thomas A. Edison and His Assistant, Miller R. Hutchinson, Have a Per- fect Understanding. Thomas A. Edison's friends, who know how to leaf the inventor really is, wondered at the success with which he presided when the new naval consulting board met in Washington last fall. As a matter of fact, says the New York Sun, Mr. Edison fooled every member of that distinguished body of men, including President Wilson and Secretary of the Navy Daniels; he heard little that was said, but he presided successfully because his assistant, Mr. Miller R. Hutchison, kept him informed of everything by means of a telegraphing finger tip that touched Mr. Edison's knee under the table. A few years ago Mr. Hutchison fell a victim to the whooping cough and lost his voice temporarily. Mr. Edison suggested to Mr. Hutchison that he learn the Morse code. He did so, and the two men communicated with each other by tapping the dots and dashes with their fingers. And so, when the inventor went to Washington to preside over the destinies of the new board, he took Mr. Hutchison with him, and posted him at his right hand. Mr. Hutchison tapped to Mr. Edison everything that was said, sometimes verbatim and sometimes boiled down into fewer words. He was able to send Morse messages to Mr. Edison at the rate of thirty words a minute, and, as the speeches were delivered in a more or less deliberate fashion, he was able to keep up with almost every sentence of every address. Mr. Edison and his assistant also work the Morse code with their eyelids. With them a quick wink means a dot and a long wink means a dash, and they talk to each other in this way when they wish to convey a message of a private nature when they are surrounded by other persons and are too far apart for the finger-tapping method. -Youth's Companion. CITY IS IN DEBT TO FARMER When Bill Has Been Paid Living Will Be Cheaper, is the Opinion of Experts. The high cost of living and the continued dissatisfaction of workmen with the wages paid by large industrial establishments, two problems that have perplexed manufacturers, educators and public officials in all parts of the country, can be remedied by a realization on the part of the city people of the obligations they are under to those who spend their lives in the country, "working" the soil for the essentials of life. This is the advice brought to this city by the four-state conference on country life, at its first important session here, the Philadelphia, Bulletin believes. Those taking part in the conference maintain that the cities have become self-centered and selfish, and have allowed themselves to forget that they are dependent upon the rural communities for food. The result of this attitude, they claim, is that by far the largest amount of public money and the greatest part of the intelligence of the country have been devoted to the development of the thickly populated sections and the country places and farms have been neglected and practically forgotten. Now, through the conference, the farmers are demanding what they consider their rights. What they want immediately are: A thoroughly reorganized rural school system, good roads, improved facilities for marketing their products, better transportation facilities and higher salaried teachers, who are qualified to be community leaders. If these advantages are granted, the farmers say, rural people will be made healthier and happier, and the cost of food products will be so materially reduced that much of the discontent and dissatisfaction among the working classes will be eliminated. Up North, of Course. An Indianapolis salesman, while in a crowd of "drummers" who were waiting on a train in a little Texas town on the Fort Wayne & Denver line, tells the following story: "As in most small Texas towns, the station, as far as the waiting room is concerned, consists of an abbreviated platform and that is all. A genuine 'norther' was on that day and all of us had our coats buttoned in a vain endeavor to keep out the chill. While huddled together, we saw a small dark come up on the platform. For clothes he had on a pair of pants and a shirt, but a very dark line between the two suggested that the boy had outgrown his clothes. He braved splitsers while dancing a jig to keep warm, and, much to our surprise, after he had quit dancing, he rushed up to us, held out his arms and said, in a most dramatic tone: "Oh, cold wind, where were you last July?" Carbonic Acid for Wounds Military surgeons it is stated are taking advantage of the pain-stilling and disinfecting properties of carbonic acid in the treatment of wounds by utilizing an effervescent powder which is now being prepared. This is composed of 10 parts sodium bicarbonate, 9 parts tartaric acid, and 19 parts sugar. The ingredients are thoroughly mixed and then crushed to about the fineness of granulated sugar. The substance is applied freely to the surface of a wound, the moisture of which causes it to effervescence and liberates air. pew ‘Christ's. Death and: Resurrection Wp By REV. JAMES M. GRAY, D.D. /< TET Who Galivered tor our af- fenecs, and wan relsed again for. our Sus ‘tifeation—Romans 4:28 = > One is so glad that the Son of God chose the budding springtime for his sacrifice om. our Dehalf, and. his PAY ciorious triumph i] Over death.

How ‘Pregnant is every ‘word of that great inspired. sentence! “He.” It" is no mere man of whom this pronoun speaks, but “the mighty God, the Fa ther of Eternity, the Frince of Peace,” as Isaiah testifies. “Imman- uel, which, being interpreted, is God with us,” as Matthew echoes. Ob, wonder of wonders, that the Eternal God, in the person of his Son,’ should have become incarnate of the Virgin ~Mary.’ It will take us all eternity to grasp the thought. ~ “Was delivered.” | Who “delivered” Mm? We think of Judas, who be- treyed him, of the Roman soldiers who arrested him, of the Jewish sanhedrin who persecuted him, of Pontius Pi- late who illegally tried him, of the cruel executioners‘ who nailed him to the cross. And yet it was the hand ~and-the counsel of bis Father-thit bad before determined it should be done, or else theo wicked men had had no power. Far back in the counsels of eternity ‘God so loved ds as to freely offer his Son on our behalf. “For our offenses.” We are born tnto a state of sin, but that is not all, for the moment we arrive at a point of moral consciousness, we ac- tually transgress the law of God. “In many things we offend all,” as the epistle of, James says. “There is none Fighteous, no, not one,” we are taught in Romans. Mén do not ke to hear this, They resent it, they hate it But, Oh, what love, that “while we ‘were yet sinners Christ died for us.” The very onés who hate to hear of man’s sinfulness, are those who talk about divine love. But who can sound ‘thb depths of that love until he ac- copta the truth of the cross of Cal vary. “And it is that truth which this - text presents most fully. “And was raised again.” The same one who died was the one who was raised. ‘This truth must not be minF mized. We must hold with all the tenacity of faith to the bodily resurrec- tion of our Lord and Savior. We must do. this: not because our peace de- pends upon it, but because the Bible teaches 4t, and because history proves it “He showed himself alive after his passion. by many infallible proofs.” Historic Christianity ts a testimony to Christ's resurrection which cannot be. accounted for unless he arote from the dead. The change of the. day of rest and worship from the sey- enth to the first is another proof which meets and challenges the skep- tic 52 times a year, ~_"For our justification.”-.That word, “oyr,” how we should love it ‘and praise God for it. “Dellver for our of- tenses," raised again for our justifica- tion." What kindness to the human race is in that word! How close it brings the heart of God to our hearts. ‘What interest tt should awake on our part to learn all we can about it from the Holy Scriptures, And “justification,” what does that mean? Sometimes when Christians thing of salvation, they get no fur- ther than the forgiveness of sin; and indeed that were glorious encugh if it stopped there. But one a be forgiven for the past and still very wretched for the present and the future.” Justification therefore is a Digger word, and stands for a greater thing than simply forgivends. The {petifiea man in one who stands in God's sight free from the guilt, the penalty of all sin, past, present and to come! The reason of this is.that his penalty bas been paid, not by him- ‘aif, but by another, whose resurrec- Hom from the Wead is the proof of it.. ‘That event is God's testimony, to his mooeptance of the atoning sacrilice of ‘This ts what the song calls’ “The Old, Old Story.”’ Those who know it best “seom hungeving sad thirsting ‘to bear it like the rest,” and no apol- ogy need be made to them for repent- ‘tag, empecially at this scasom of ‘the: year. ‘There’ are others, however, who Rave heard It and yhose bearts are Rerdened against it“ One pittes them ‘Recnmes they Rave cut away their Let mo lovingly urge them to lah, te: atep-ever-the tine today, to ‘tm of the year might ae awakening af iatth, asd hepa and Ite ‘Within them through receiving Jesus Heder ae aneeeea net met ie: ge See ois (Copyright, S816, Wewtera Newsoaper ‘Unjou.)

It Christian workers" would be more fa: miliar with this passage they would more intelligently ufiderstand what the term “Gospel” means: ~The fact of the resurrection’ loomed larger in Paul's mind than the virgin birth; the | former was and Is the greater miracle. This, one of the supreme chapters of the Bible, tells us what the Gospel is, and what {ts results’ gre to he. (1) What it is. Not a new cure for tuber- culosig, nor a new social environment, but the good news of one who was God incarnate (Paul does not use his earth- ly name Jesus), Christ the Anointed ‘One, who died for our sins just as the Scriptures had foretold, and was bur. in the 7, “according to, the Scuiptures,” He rose again and ‘is now and ever shall be alive. Any Gos- pel that ignores the Incarnation, pas- sion and resurrection of Jesus 1s false to the’ Scriptures and a Me. (2) The result, ching or testifying to this shea parame is twofold: first, salvation, “saved, restored to right relations’ with God;" afd second, per- severance, “wherein ye stand.” The “God-story," good news, evangel or gospel—they are all the same—is “the ower of God unto salvation,” and the strong doctrine of: the resurrection ‘will causémen- to walk straight, to stand upright.” “Christ died for my Sins according to the Scriptures” (Iso. 58:6-10), a II, Witnesses to the Fact (vs. 5-12). Paul (v. 3) recetved the resurrection truth from many witnesses, whom he Proceeds to enumerate, for it was not @ matter of his own invention. ‘The in- credulity of the disciples at the first is frankly recorded (Luke 24:12). Je- sus did not appear first to John, Pilate or the Sanhedrin, but to a woman, and the change of the apostles from = spirit of, despair to that of confident, Joyous certainty was most astonishing. ‘There are eleven recorded appear ances of Jesus after his resurrection, ‘and not one of them was made to his enemies. Paul does not mention all of the appearances. He fs pro! iy naming only’ those pena cence of his appearances, with whom he had ‘conversed. oF at least a fow from each Eroup. (1), Petef, referred to indirect- ly in Luke 24:34; (2) the apostles, to be exact, the first ten, Judas being’ dead and Thomas absent; (3) the apos- tles with ‘Thomas present; (4) five -hundred, the only-record.of this great company, though perhaps implied in the “brethren” of Matt. 28:10. “Halt a thousand witnesses are enough to establish any case.” Of these the greater number were alive twenty-five years. after the event; (5) James, prob- ably our Lord's brother, the honored head of the Jerusalem church; (6) “Then all the apostles,” a larger cir cle: than the twelve (see Luke 28:48, Acts 1:68). This may have been the ‘appearance in the morn at the Sea Galilee; (7) “me also.” IIL The Fact Applied. (vs: 18-20): ‘The Corinthians, to whom Paul was writing, did not deny Christ's tmmor- tality, but seemed to deny that the same power which had raised him could ‘be applied to"us who are only human. “Paul answers this by present- ing four argument#: @) The of Christ proves the possibility of Won from: the dead, if only of ‘The Sadducees taught the -< ‘The Stoica taught that the désd were reabsorbed in God. To say Christ is not risen is to claim death as annihile- om, to destroy faith in Jesus (v. 14) and to impugn the testimony of those who had seen him (v. 15). A dead Christ means dead Christians (v. 17) and our heaviest sorrow will be to face the grave (v. 18). (2) The Christian ts “tn Chriot,” and ‘hia resurrection carries ours with it.

SARAH WON HIS ITALIAN AUDIENCE Maeterlinck Tella How Jules Destree Made Friends for Belgium's Cause — In Gity of Naples, Maurice Maeterlinck. the great lit- terateur of Belgium, tells. in. London Everyman's of visits which he paid Italy in = propaganda conducted by two Belgian deputies, Jules Destree and George Lorand, and describes Ital- ian. audiences. He says the Italian ‘ts generous, courteous, hospitable, ex- uberant, enthusiastic, but very proud and touchy; that he knows his worth; ‘that he knows that his is the oldest ctvilization, and he recognizes the ‘right of no other nation to teach him Dig duty. Describing © meeting at Naples, he says: “At the last moment we had been warned that, though wo might speak of-Belgium and her sut- fering, any definite allusion to war or overviolent attack on ,the people from beyond the Rhine woylld excite controversy and only damage our cause. Being myself no orator, I had only my miserable written address, which, of course, could not be changed the last moment, and might prove dangerous. It was pecessary to prepave the land. Destree mounted the platform and in a masterly im- Provisation began by establishing a long, patient, skillful parallet between Flemish and Ijalian art, between the great painters-of Florence and Venice and those of Flanders and Brabant; and from there he glided almost in- sensibly to the actual distress In Bel- sium today. He was applauded; the barriers were broken through. Nothing was to be added to what he had said, but he could have gaid anything to them then.” fe Lou Guernsey, who has been a tele graph’ operator for the Pennsylvanis lines, at Columbus for 25 years, had aM unusual experience just because some freight cars hopped the track and blocked traffic for a while. Guern sey started to shave, because all of the trains had been dispatched, and he knew he would have some spare time on his hands, He had com pletely bared the north side of his face of whiskers when the telegraph instru- ment began to clatter. Guernsey hast- fly put down his rasor and an swered the call. For nearly four hours be wae kept at the key, sending. and receiving messages. The lather dried om the south side cf his face, but he could not think about that bicause there was more important business on band, By the time be got through with the hurry-up work and started to shave the other side of his face, it ia anid the beard beged to show up os tho othe Supt ohered.—indiana polis ae LB.

THEATRES THREE ACTS ON THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER BILL DEFY COMPETITION. A variety show of pleasing repertoire forms the bill at the Booker Washing ton Theater this week. Lizzie Van Clay, the only Colored woman contortionist and aerobat in the world, opens the show with a decided novelty. Among the difficult fonts she presents are: the balancing of four chairs in her mouth and several con- tortions through a small wire ring. The act draws round after round of applause. LeJoy and Young offer an original act of Jewish dialect, song, comedy and burlesque. Their dialogue is humorous and the act goes good. The Rajans in a telepathic act, embellished with vocal and instrumental music, are a mysterious pair of entertainers. The lady, blind-folded, describes every article which the man touches in the audience with such speed and accuracy that her hearers are completely dumfounded with wonderment. Their rapid fire work and mental harmony is marvelous. A feature of the act is the playing, by the lady, of any composition selected by her hearers from a card of 500 subjects distributed around. This she does blind-folded, and apparently by mental suggestion. The act closes with a piano and vocal duet "Araby," and is vociferously applauded. The principals are A. J. Downing and, Vena Martin, well known in this city; Miss Martin being a former Sumner High student. Winn and Nugent, a dancing team, closed the show. Their dancing numbers introduce nearly every step known in terpischore. Art and eccentricity are both amply featured with rhythm and grace. Both performers are masters of this kind of performance. The female, Miss Carrie Nugent, is credited with being the world's greatest woman buck and wing dancer. Chas, Turpin, proprietor of the B. W. Theater, was called to Danville, Ill.

NEXT TUESDAY AT THE COMET ODDEON "Joseph's Trials In Egypt." Movie Airdome Opens April 30 MANAGER JAMES HAS HIGH CLASS PROGRAM FOR IN- AUGURAL NIGHT Open Air Theatre Will Be Like Flower Garden The New Movie Airdome, Thomas James' open air photo-play, theatre, at 2126 Market, St., will open Sunday, April 30, with an auspicious program of high class pictures, "The Martyrs of the Alamo;" or "The Birth of Texas," a triangle masterpiece in six parts, will be the piece-de-resistance. Another favorite will be a play from the Keystone comedies. The "Martyrs of the Alamo" is claimed by critics to be the greatest and most spectacular war drama of history. Mr. James has spared no time or pains in, not only arranging the opening of his new theatre, but has provided a series of pictures for the summer that will rival the down town or west end amusement places that are charging advanced prices. Everything is being added to make the airdome comfortable and pleasant for the patrons. When the sun begins to spread its summer rays the place will bloom out into a veritable flower garden. The music will be enchanting and an atmosphere of fairy-dom will prevail. So much for a manager who appreciates the support of his patrons, nothing is too good for them. Dr Grant, the chiropodist, of 3547 Lawton, is recovering from a recent illness. Little Louis D. White died at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. M. Richardson, 4256 N. Market, Wednesday, April 19 and was buried Friday. A CITIZENS' COMMITTEE A committee of citizens, which is attempting a Booker Washington memorial effort for St. Louis, held a short meeting Wednesday night at the Metropolitan Church. Because a large number of men who were interested were unable to be present, the meeting was set for Tuesday night, April 25, at the men's parlor of the Metropolitan Church, at 7 o'clock. The following persona were asked to serve by Mr. Emmett Scott: W. C. Gordon, B. B. Shaw, J. E. Mitchell, F. L. Williams, A. E. Malone, C. K. Bobinson, T. A. Curtis, Crittenden Clark, W.

Watkins Wishes To Thank Public For $3,500 Worth of Installment Business During the Month of March --- I wish to thank the public for its substantial patronage during March, giving me $3,500 installment business. Continued support will enable me to take larger quarters and necessitate employing more colored salesmen. Don't continue to spend your money with white merchants, who have shown you only recently that they are not your friends. Be a booster for the race. Negroes spend a million dollars a month in St. Louis, but less than 1 per cent reaches colored merchants. Every dollar spent with the white man is a dollar lost to the race. Why these conditions? Why not support the business and professional men and women, of our own race, who are begging your patronage? As for our store, we invite you to call and see the many good bargains, on our floor, which we are offering just as cheap and of just as good quality as any others. Our factory resources are unlimited. If you wish me to call on you, phone Bomont 1792-W; but remember you are always welcome to our store CHAS. H. WATKINS, PIANOS and PLAYER PIANOS, 2005 LACLEDE AVE.

Brightly fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the re-eyes of psych schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It is, as if his knowledge must come from the our-world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know.
