MARYLANDGOV.IS OBDURATE IN THE CASEOFSNOWDEN Refuses To Commute Sentence Of Man Convicted Of Murder By Prejudiced Jury. Petition Presented By Several Hundred White Persons and Eleven Members of The Trial BY ASSOCIATED NEGEO PRESS BALYMORE, Md., March 5.—The city and the whole state are aroused over the refusal of Governor Harrington to commute the sentence of John Snowden to life imprisonment. Snowden was convicted of the murder of Lotte Brandon, while, a year ago, the case was appealed and the decision of the lower court sustained. The Supreme Court this week on the ground that Snowden was not tried by a "jury of his peers," that is, that there were no Colored men on the Grand jury or the trial jury. It is also alleged in the appeal to the highest court of the land, that excitement and race prejudice were so rampant at the trial that the proper form of indictment and passing of sentence were not gone through by the Court. In this case he passed inviolably by the Supreme Court. Colored people will no longer be barred from services on coronar and post-juries in the state. Late Monday the Governor was visited by representatives from the jury, which passed sentence on Saundon, and presented a petition signed by 11 of them praying commutation of the sentence to life imprisonment. The judge, a 69 white business man of Annapolis where the crime was committed. Four hundred persons mostly white, filled every available space in the Governor's private office and urged that Snowdon's life be spared. No such demonstration in behalf of a Colored man convicted of crime has been witnessed before in the history of the state. The judge, a 69 white business man, final to commute the sentence, and it is said that he is influenced in his decision by his southern wife. White and Colored people so far have raised more than $3,000 in fight- ing this case through to the Supreme PROGRAM OF Y. M. C. A. DEDICATION The Y. M. C. A. is a bee live as the workmen rush the completion in order that the building may be dedicated on March 23rd. From all indications the work is being rapidly brought to a close, so that St. Louis will go into their new Y. M. C. A. home on the 23rd with the walls newly decorated and the furniture all in place. A most elaborate program has been worked out for the week so that each night is given over to some particular group of citizens. The important events of the week have been announced as follows: Sunday, March 23rd, at 3 p. m.—Dedicatory Services. Saturday, March 24th, at 8 p. m.—Church and Association Night.

Most week will be a week of international construction and team work. Plans have been made, raising of at least six thousand dollars next week, in order to secure the gift of Mayor Kiel by March 18th.

Malone called together a few of their friends and admirers of Mr. Roland Hayes in their beautiful parlor last Monday evening.

The St. Louis Argus Court. The conviction is state wide that the woman's husband committed the crime. As the robbers turned away Miss Phillips attempted to reach under the counter for a revolver, but her action was seen by the third robber, who snatched the gun from her hand before she could use it. She then was locked in the office with Nichols. The robbers put all the money in sight into packs of the automobile and the abandoned North Avenue street and thence to Federal street, where trace of them was lost. In the meantime Miss Phillips had telephoned the police, who appeared and took up the trail of the robber. The Merchants Bank is a private institution owned by a real estate dealer. It was robbed about two years ago of about $1,600. The police have identified the automobiles as the machine used by three Negroes who late last night entered the office of the Standard Oil Company, 3308 Prairie Avenue and robbed Henry Frecke, the agent, of 1100. The same car was seen by Detectives Hogan and Kennedy at 3600 South Lasalle street a. m. t.pday, before the bank robber. In telling of the holdout, Nichols praised Miss Phillips for her coolness and attempt to frustrate the robbers in the face of danger. The automobile used by the three Negro bandits, who robbed the Merchants Bank today, was recovered by the police shortly after noon at 33th street and Cottage Grove avenue, where it has been abandoned. The automobile was stolen last night at 6 o'clock from Robert Road, 2807 Prairie Avenue, and the License tags that had been hulled through the rear seat, supposedly as the result of a revolver battle between the groves and polite men following a holiday at 3302 Prairie avenue last night. The Men's Guild of All Saint's Church readied a pleasing program in the Chapel of the Church last Tuesday night. The comical numbers were full of fun, and each participant played their part well. Special mention. The Newest Scientific discovery; the famous vacuum bath, a sure cure for thirteen diseases. Wm. E. Officer played the part of Dr. Billy, and kept the audience roaring with laughter. Everyone present seemed to be well pleased with the performance. A NATIONAL CALL A call has been made by Colored people of New York and New Jersey for a meeting to be held in New York, March 20.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People DYNAMITE KILLS 3 AND INJURES 6 IN CHI. EXPLOSION By Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, March 6. — Explosion of a dynamite pipe or defective gas pipe wrecked a three-story brick flat building at 33653401 Indiana avenue early Monday, killed a 6-year-old girl and injured several others. TJJ police are mystified, but are close questioning residents of the affected house. The prejudice was responsible for the blast. The wrecked building was tenanted by Negroes. All other houses in the vicinity were occupied by whites. The explosion occurred just as Charles Thomas, son of the owner of the building unlocked the front door early today. Thomas was thrown into the street by the force of the explosion, and all of the occupants of the building were from their several brimmed. Ernestine Ellis, the child who was killed, was thrown against the ceiling on the third floor of the building. Her skull was fractured. The fall to the floor broke her legs and arms. She was still alive when picked up by the rescuers, but died on her way to a hospital. Six others were severely injured. Neighbors and victims declared they smelled gunpowder after the explosion. A strong odor caused gas pipe damage, but it was to have come from pipes broken by the explosion. Repair men were sent to the place by the gas company, and an attempt will be made to discover the origin of the explosion. RACEPAPERSBARRED SOMERVILLE, Tenn., March 7—White people of this city have issued an order that no "Colored newspaper" must be circulated in the town, but that every "darkeyed," the petition reads, must read the Falcon, a local white paper, edited by a Confederate veteran. The whites stated this step was being done in order to keep the anger from getting out himself, and to keep his place. Since the invasion made in this city by newspapers of our race, people have been leaving by the wholesale, seeking better opportunity and development in northern cities. The effect was issued against the newspapers when white men were forced, because of the lack of help, to plow the fields. Someville in the county seat of Warrenton was one of our people residing in this section and only 7,000 whites. Our people furnished five soldiers, to one white soldier from this district to the National army in the fight for democracy.

Turpill, at a regular meeting of the Booster Club offered a plan, considered by many, to be the proper solution of that time-worn phrase, Race Loyalty, so far as business is concerned. Since the introduction of this plan, the members of the organization have threshed out a way to compel the white merchant in the Negro districts to employ Negro labor. Unofficial figures estimate the Negro occupation of this city to be 30,000. This means that we are spending with the white merchant in the neighborhood, figuring one dollar a day for each person, $30,000 a day, $60,000 a week, $2,240,000 a month, or $28,860,000 a year. Some money! To offset this vast output the Booster Club plan will force the employment of our boys and girls as stenographers clerks, cashiers, bookkeepers, druggists, etc. because in impossible cases for these places, the schools and colleges of the nation will be asked to supply them. A fund of $35.50 was voted out of the treasury at the regular meeting, Sunday, March 2, to be used for correspondence, in conjunction with the Booster Industrial Movement. "Coming events cast their shadows before them." The Weslmann Packing Co., which started cutting of stores, heard the distant thunder and employed Miss Ada North as a clerk in the store at $222 Market. The Gerber Bros. Co., located at $800 Market, fell in line first by employing Miss Juanita Steel as cashier. This is only a starter; the Boosters expect to have our boys and girls employed in every store in the Negro districts. the men who will guide the destiny of the Booster movement will be known as the Booster Industrial Committee, and is composed of Chas. H. Turpain, chairman; Earnest Pattillo, Jesse-Reyburn, Jas. McMinn, Julius Wiel, Wm. King, and Henry Taylor. 92nd DIVISION MUSTERED OUT IN GROUPS. As the members of the 92nd Division are scattered through all the camps it will be impossible to see them any where as a unit. It will make the task of entertaining the six hundred St. Louis boys easier for the Boosters as the majority belong to the city. B. E. Walkins, 349th M. G. C., wired the Club headquarters of his return to the States. He says he feels fine and sends regards to all his friends. Lieut. Walter Lowe and Sergt. Frank "Brother" Slaughter, will soon reach the city. Help us to welcome them. PARADE AND GRAND-BALL Nothing is being left undone to make this the grandest affair of its kind St. Louis has ever known. The Booster boys and girls are on tip toes rehearsing their parts, and eager for the joyous day of welcome to arrive. Several organisations are making preparations to entertain the boys on a lavish scale. The Boosters feel the joyous day of everyone to lend their best efforts, as too much cannot be done for the boys. Watch the Argus for date. NOTICE. To the Presiding Officers and Members: Gentlemen: In view of the fact that the St. Louis Colored soldiers who are a part of the 92nd Division, will soon be returned to this country and mustered to do New York and Chicago, in extending a record-breaking welcome to our own heroes.

Notice of data and route of parade will be given in sample times both directly through the public press. Kindly notify this Committee as early as you possibly can, if you will take part, so that your organization may be assigned to a place in the parade. Respectfully, A. W. Lloyd, W. H. King, Chas. H. Turpain, Committee. GOV. THOMAS COMMENDED GOV. THOMAS COMMENDED Special to the Argus NEW YORK, March 5:—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. B. Shillard of New York, makes public a letter of commendation sent to Governor Thomas W. Bickett of North Carolina, for the action taken by officials of that state in Winston-Salem. Surry County, in securing the conviction and sentence of a defendant attempting to take Russell High, a Negro, from the Jail at Winston-Salem on November 17 last and lynch him, the terms ranging from fourteen months to six years. The Association congratulates the officials upon their action in the case and declares that "the State of North Carolina has set an example which may well be useful in any case of any kind in trying in which mob violence and lynching prevail." The Association contrasts the commendable action of the North Carolina authorities with that of the recent trials of eighteen men at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in which all of the men were acquitted although clearly guilty of lynching a Negro in November of last year, and calls attention to the fact that North Carolina punished men Alabama authorities could not accuse a conviction for an actual lynching. The Association's letter follows: THE PRESIDENT URGES REPRIEVE FOR A SOLDIER MONTOGOMERY, Al., March 7. Based on urgent teleographic requests from various citizens of Chicago, President Wilson today requested Gov. Thomas E. Kliby, by letter, to grant a retrieve to Sergt. Edgar Caldwell, Negro soldier, who was sentenced to be hanged at Anniston today for the murder of Cecil Linton, a conspirator on an Anniston murder, and a brief reprieve to permit "the Attorney General, at my request, to examine the records in the case." Arrival of the President's request was preceded by an appeal on the part of Caldwell's attorneys to the State Supreme Court, which automatically granted him a reprieve, and the President was so informed. Sergt. Edgar Caldwell, Negro soldier who shot and killed Condoround Cecil Linton, a conspirator, and Kelale Morrison on an Oxford Lake Car, December 16, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by the jury which fixed his punishment at death. The shooting of the two street car men occurred on Constantine street, opposite the plant of the Ornamental Foundry Company, and within a block or two of the home of the dead conductor. Caldwell is said to have insisted on riding up well toward the front of the car in the section set aside for the use of white passengers. The conductor forced him to the rear and in the fight which ensued Caldwell was ejected from the car by Linton. The motorman took a hand in the fight and when the Negro landed on the ground he said to have drawn his pistol and opened fire. The defendant was brought before Judre Merrill Monday for sentence. He was represented during the trial by x-state Senator Charles D. Kline and Judge Baill M. Allen, of Birmingham. Washington, March 5—In announcing today that President Wilson had set aside court-martial sentences and ordered new trials in the cases of nineteen Negro soldiers tried at Camp Grant, Ill., in connection with an attack upon a woman, Secretary Baker said the judge advocate general had found that undue haste in trying the men on the eve of their division's departure for France had deserved the unmerited or fundamental rights. Elsbof of the men were sentenced to death, five sentenced to life imprisonment, one found insane and five were acquitted. The facts in these cases were not to be upon by the reviewing authority. Sardis, Miss.—Bob Bedford and Barnnew Nance died at the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, last week. From gun shot wounds received in a shooting scrape with a Colored soldier, who has not yet been apprehended. Bedford had 18 perforations in his intestines. Reports of the shooting indicate that the men were shot by the soldier who recently returned from a training camp. A fight between a white boy and a little Colored boy took place. The Colored boy getting the beat of the scrap, the white men interfered and the soldier went to the little Colored boy's rescue, whereupon a pitched battle between the white men and the Colored soldier took place in the Colored armor of the well trained soldier proved the best. The white people down here are beginning to realise the folly in trying to treat the Colored returned soldiers as they did before the war. From last reports no arrests have been made. SOLDIERS ORGANIZE Temporary officers were elected and plans for the organization of a Colored branch of the World War Veterans of Marion county were discussed at the Colored Soldiers' and Sailors' Club 642 North Senate avenue, Sunday afternoon by Colored Indianapolis veterans of the world war: Joseph A.

PRICE 5 CENTS ALL OF 92ND DIVISION HAS RETURNED Men Are Being Scattered Among Several Camps and May Be Mustered Out In Small Groups. OFFICERS PROTEST ON COLOR LINE Were Discriminated Against Our British Transport Coming Home 365th Lost Regimental Flag. Late press dispatches indicate that the last of the 32nd Division has arrived in this country. The division is being scattered among a half dozen camps. The largest contingents are at Camps Taylor and Meade. The future plans of the government have not been made public. It was at first hoped that all St. Louis and vicinity be sent to Camp Panorama or Jefferson Barracks and mustered out, at one time. Lotters at St. Louis this week indicate that the men will be mustered out in small groups at different camps and sent to their home. If this is correct, the Boosters will have to wait until all the St. Louis men are home before the big military and novel parade and Coliseum meeting can be pulled off under the present plan the body may begin arriving and not be as large number arriving at one time will be met by the Boosters with a band and escorted to the Pyramid Temple. The members are on her "One Minute" watch now, and ready to assemble at once, on call. "The officers so humiliated feel that not only their personal valor and honour has been insulted, but that the uniform and rank of the United States army has been degraded and they do not intend to let it go by unchallenged." The St. Louis lieutenants with the regiment are Lowe, Ferring and Tarpin COLORED SOLDIER KILLS POLICEMEN BIRMINHAM, Ala., March 7.—A few nights ago Pollemene W. D. Evans and A. W. Phillips were both shot and killed by Albert Brown, a Colored soldier after the officers had without cause shot and killed his friend. The two soldiers were accosted by the officers, while coming out of a 'looney street, demanding to know of the contents of a suit case which the soldiers were carrying and in uniform the police opened fire on them, killing Brown but not before they were mortally wounded from which wounds they died a few hours later. The other man in uniform escaped. Indiscretion by officers in making or attempting to make arrests of Colored people and especially soldiers, have already caused many of them their lives. Officers Evans and Phillips have long been on the force and their regiment has been with Colored people are not at all complimentary. They will soon learn down here that a very different kind of Negro must be dealt with and in a more civil manner, but perhaps too late. COLORED CHILDREN WIN WANAMAKE PHRE PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The Colored children of the city, along with the Italian, won the greatest number of John Wannmaker prizes for prestige in art.

Beginning at 5 a.m. when we had surrender prayer meeting the Spirit of God was felt. At 11 a.m. the pastor Rev J. L. Caston, welcomed a capacity house. The Holy Spirit received its baptism and many souls were made to rejoice in the God or their salvation. This service was the covenant and the testimonies of the warriors of Zion; several of whom came on their canes, were uplifting to every soul. After the covenant and prayer, two souls accepted Christ. The Sunday School was crowded and a splendid spirit was manifested. At 6.50 p.m. the B. Y. P. U. held an interesting session, and before they could finish the evening crowd began pour in. After short devotions, the pastor arose to deliver the message, which was the first of the message of nine sermons, upon "The Movie, the Curse of the Modern day." Our pastor, although handed over by a heavy cold, did justice to the occasion. Many said he preached the most wonderful, argumentive sermon they ever heard. He gave four reasons why a Christian should not support the Movie. They were (1) because of the effect it has upon the moral life of the retainers, actors and employees; (2) Because of its many adjuncts of evil; (3) Because of the character of the majority of those who attend it. (4) Because it is an acknowledged avenue of destruction for multitudes. The audience went and shouted approval as each point was discussed. These arguments will be continued Sunday night. Dr. J. H. Williams, grand master of the U. B. F. of Missouri was present and acknowledged his hearty welcome, by a few encouraging words. The Lord's Supper was then administered and all departed filled with the Holy Ghost, having feasted on good things.

CHURCH It was rumored that our new pastor, Rev. C. A. Williams would preach Sunday a. m. and Rev. A. R. Dobbins would preach the sacramental sermon and Sunday a. m. standing room was at a premium.

Bishop Parks is to be congratulated in sending us Dr. Williams. At the conclusion of his sermon ten persons, including those who were converted, rushed forward to unite with the church. At 3 p. m.

"No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new makeh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new acreth not with the old." Theme, "Christian character a result of consistency in construction." In discussing his subject the pastor gave a brief description of the Jewish religion and the tenacity with which the Jews held on to its customs. They realized there was something lacking in their religion that was not meeting their needs, said the speaker. They were willing to accept the new without sacrificing the old. It was for this reason that Jesus taught them the parable of the old garment. History repeated itself in 1864 when the South was willing to physically encapitate four million unfortunate creatures, while the patch of prejudice, discrimination was tacked to the old garment. Dr. Peck made an earnest appeal for the Christians to live pure lives; that an apology will not have to be made for their Christianity. The evening service was well attended and the pastor preached a forceful sermon. Sunday night. There were two accolades. The entertainment given at his Puro Auditorium Thursday night, was a aplaid success.

Feb 28- There is a strong probability that a number of citizens will appear before the city council at some date in the near future and ask that a laundry be established, by the municipality, at which the Colored women taken from the streets can be worked, says news dispatches. However, nothing is said of putting the white women prisoners to work. It is claimed that such a step is to be taken to solve the washerwoman shortage caused by the refusal of washer women to launder for almost nothing and to the great exodus of this class of labor to the North where a larger freedom may be enjoyed. Such a law would also act, it is claimed, as a deterrent when the prisoners regain their liberty. They would not be so anxious to be arrested again when they found that hard labor went hand in hand with incarceration. To this the Colored people are in accord, if, however, the same be provided with no regard as to color. PREPARING FOR THE CONGRESS BESSEMER, Ak., Feb. 28—(Reciprocal News Service)—Since the announcement of the coming of the Sunday School Congress will be held in this city June 11th to 16th the Sunday School forces have been getting together an organization that will spread throughout this State.

To the Public: I write this because I wish suffering humanity to be benefited. I suffered with Sciatic Rheumatism for 13 weeks. My flesh was so sore I could not stand my clothes to touch me. The pains ran from my hip to my big toe, on the left side, and felt like a thousand needles were piercing my flesh. I did not rest day or night, now I can sleep like a baby from 8 at night till 4 in the morning. I was very nervous and depressed in spirit and the pains in my head were so severe I thought at times I would lee my mind. I feel better now than I have since last August. I had not been able to be out of the house since October 23, when a friend advised me to try these remedies. After I had taken six doses of the New Discovery and the Blood and Liver Tablets, I could see a difference and when I had taken it steady for three weeks I was able to walk anywhere in the house. I am very grateful for these remedies. Yours very respectfully, MRS. J. E. COHBON, 2942 Clark Ave. REGISTERED OF COHBONS EVACY 1903 GUARANTEED by Wm. S. P.

It will show 1,500 men, of the 369th, who worn glory on the Alene and in the Mountains. They are seen with helmets and gas masks. In the 370th one Captain Warner, Lieutenant Warfield, Lieutenant-Colonel Duncan, Captain Smith and others. Captain Smith and 300 men captured a town from a German regiment. This picture will be shown at the Booker Washington for one week beginning Monday. It has not been shown in complete arrangement here before and should not be confused with the weeklies now on the screen. THE WEEK AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER. WASHINGTON THEATER. The Davis and Bailey Fun Makers, in their second week at the Booker Washington Theatre, have a laughable, musical comedy. The plot has been weakened in the effort to make it generally applicable instead of the local atmosphere which it carried in Chicago. This does not depreciate the value of the show as an entertainer, however, for the girls sing, dance and convert in the same graceful and chic style which characterized their last weeks' appearance. Miss Bailey appears "straight" and shows her old-time artistry. Mr. Davis as "Hezekiah Do," the fake political ward healer, is comical enough to keep the audience laughing. There is a long list of songs and dances. The engagement closes Sunday night. NEXT WEEK. The program for next week had not been booked when this column was closed. The bill will be found in the streamer advertisement at the top of this page. The Olympia Theatre at 14:20 Mark Street, has built a reputation for high Class Programs, not one, but every. This was the answer the writer or received when he asked the manager, "What special features will you show next week?" The truth is that every day at this house is "Special Feature" day with sometimes two features, besides the latest comedies and always with the largest and best orchestra playing in picture theatres. Patrons are always sure of a big show and are always well pleased. This is a policy that has given the Olympia a following of picture fans which means crowded hours every day. Any time between 9:20 a.m. and 11 p.m., every day, you can see a big show at this theatre. SALON AT THE COMET SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. A Titanic achievement is the production of "Salome" which will be shown at the Comet Theatre, Saturday and Sunday. It is said to have out approximately $1,298,600. I took an army of 800 men to build the city of Jerusalem. More than 20 tons of paint were used on the sets and scenery. Five hundred thousand feet of lumber was put into construction enough to build a good sized town. Two hundred thousand yards of building went into the covering of the buildings. Nearly an entire menagerie was required for local color: 44 camels, 25 horses, 25 donkeys, 20 elephants, goats, sheep, bullocks, oxen, dogs, cats, parrots, doves and peacocks. Special boilers were installed for the making of steam and light effluents. One hundred sculptors worked for a month on the various sets. Two thousand costumes were made for the players by the William Fox costume department at Hollywood, Oil. The production will be shown at the Gunmet Theatre 2 days only Saturday and Sunday, at no advance in prices. NORMA-TALMAGE AT THE PENDLETON. Morma. Talmadge's latest Select Picture, "The Heart of Wetona," will appear at the Pendleton Theatre on Sunday. Miss Talmadge is presented in this picture by Joseph M. Sullock. "The Heart of Wetona" was filmed on an Indian reservation in California, consisting of 150 Indians and twenty log cabins. The reservation which is called Idyllwild is situated at an altitude of 6,000 feet. During the filming of this picture Morma Talmadge lived with her mother and her sister, Constance, in a beautiful bungalow directly outside the reservation. Norma was idolized by the natives of Kylwild. They never tired watching her work or watching her play. Before she left the reservation the Indians imitated upon giving a party to her honor. A huge celebration consisting of kylwild dance and a harp dance impressed her. She was made a muse of the tribes, the Special Thursday, March 13th "SPORTING LIFE" Most thrilling Drama since The Inception of Moving Pictures] Saturday, March 15, "GEORGE WALSH" In His Latest Cyclonic Film "I'LL SAY SO" Sunday, March 16, LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF COL.

Says Theda Bara, heorline of the film spectacle, "Salome," at the Comet Theatre, Saturday and Sunday, March 8 and 9. --- "Salome was a child of nature, reared in the most profligate royal court of her age, and her maiden heart reached out for John the Baptist, the only good man she had ever met. Had John been less the grim scourge of sinners and more the helper and healer—had he prayed for her and not denounced her—this, wild child might have been saved for the good of her people. Instead, she brought the Baptist to his death and died herself under the spiked shields of Roman soldiers."

Feb. 24—Excitement ran high here Thursday, Feb. 20, when the Board of Moving Picture Censors, acting upon an injunction gutted out by three Colored ministers of this city, ordered Oscar McMauran's mammoth photoplay, "The Homesteader," stopped because one of the ministers stated that the play was an actual reproduction of his personal affair with the writer, and that the drama, acted entirely by Colored people, consisted of eight reels, tended to ex- A committee of prominent Chicagoans including Bishop Falkown, white; Col. John R. Marshall, formerly commanding the eight flightmen; George W. Ellis, Corporation Counsel; City of Chicago; Mr. Ida Nelson, Gentle surgeon; Oscar D. Prentice, ex-offender; Major-General Lewis, Uniform man of Old Falkown; Mrs. George C. Wright,abeth Waters of the Amanda Smith Home; Robert S. Abbott, author of the Chicago Defender, and Attorney George H. Jackson, witnessed the rewinding of the photoplay, and following the request of the Censor Board to give an expression, all unanimously agreed that there was nothing in the picture that would rendent upon the personal character of the minister, or that of the Board of Census, acting that this would be a permit, causing the Minister to reject the right to be embalmed. RELATIVES TO RECEIVE EP- RETEGTS OF MEN BLAIN WARHAMTON, Feb. 28- Establish- ment at Warhamton, N. J., of a bureau to receive from overseas the perma- nial effects of deceased officers and men and distribute them to residents, who amassed a few days ago' by the War Department. Inquiries regarding the personal effects of deceased soldiers should be addressed to "The Effects Bureau, Port of Embarkation, Hoboken, N. J." At the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers—100 miles from the Persian gulf—in the town of Gurma. The few tourists who, in ante-bellum days, may a writer in Asia Magazine, sailed past Gurma were told to look with reverence at the spot, for here was the original Garden of Eden. In December, 1914, the British took Gurma and Arabia was put on the map. The advance which British arms made in the land of the Arab was important in proportion, as the Germans regarded Arabia as important. Arabia loomed large on the Teutonic horizon because it was the door to "Mittel Ecuador," because it is the cradle of Islam. Since Islam is professed by the majority of the people, the key, and 68,000,000 of Indians and 20,000,000 of Bussels, and 24,000,000 in the East Indies, and 12,000,000 in Egypt, and 8,000,000 in Persia, and 5,000,000 in Afghanistan, and 8,000,000 in China—Islam was considered worthy, of an attempt at wedlock, holy or unholy. If you look at the map of the Mediterranean you will see that Cyprus seems to have a great finger which points just to where Asia Minor bends down sharply to form the Syrian coast. Napoleon noticed this more than 100 years ago and suggested that there lay the key to any situation which would involve that part of the world. Follow the finger and it is significant that the objective of the British campaigns in Palestine and Mesopotamia was Alleppo. Thence draw the line straight across, and you draw with almost uncanny accuracy the northern linguistic boundary of Arabia. WORDS OF WISE MEN Energy of will depends upon depth of emotion—Martensen. A narrow mind will not admire, neither will a conceived one. A man living amid the advantages and activities of the nineteenth century in a condensed Methanusle—Chapin. The beginnings of self-deception are so slight that they are likely to be unnoticed until the habit is fired upon us. We can scarcely be too strict and honest with ourselves in little matters and large ones. Food Price Increase Shows Sixteen Per Cent Average An average increase of 16 per cent in the cost of 22 basic food commodities throughout the United States during the year ended with September was shown in figures made public by the labor department's bureau of statistics. The figures are based on price quotations received monthly from more than 2000 retail stores. Baltimore led the cities of the country with an increase of 23 per cent, while Salt Lake City showed the lowest, 10 per cent. Other points showing a high increase were Seattle, Wash., 23 per cent; Scranton, Pa., 21.3 per cent; San Francisco, 20.6 per cent; Richmond, Va., 20.6 per cent; Charleston, S.C., 20.3 per cent; Portland, Ore., 20 per cent; Atlanta, Ga., 19.6 per cent; Los Angeles, 19.5 per cent; Washington, D.C., 19.4 per cent; and Memphis, 19.1 per cent.

A Soldier's Poem Composed by 1st Sergeant C. H. Turpier, in the Girl T I L S Dellam, 1st Depot Lobster Co., A. A. C. A. P. G. F. I. A. R. P. Darling, when I am far away From you, somewhere in Nice, I ask, you always to think of me, And pray that I might have a chance. To leave you dear, if you hard, But the darkness is so all You know I am me Gladys. When I hear my country's call. To be at home with you little girl, is happiness, that's true, But I cannot see the enemy, Down the Red, White and Blue. I used to be with you often— Those beautiful and happy days! But it makes me so blue to think That you are so far away. Some day in the near future, This great conflict will end, And the soldier boy who loves you, Will come back to you again. It is the duty of every girl Who has been left behind To always remember the boy she loved Who is on the firing line. He did not want to leave you. For he was going to risk his life. He is a true American And upholds the Stars and Stripes. The girls here are beautiful. Most everywhere you see. But they are nothing to compare With the ones we left at home. When the boys go marching by In step with some national hymn. It thrills my heart to know That I am one of them. I told you when I kissed Those lips of yours so sweet, That I was going to leave, And again might never meet. Don't give up my darling, If you love me you will wait. If we don't meet on earth again, We will meet at the golden gate. Some girls are not so patient, They will not wait so long. They go and marry a slacker. When their soldier boys are gone. When he goes to fight the battle For his country and for you. His thoughts are always resting On the one he thinks is true. When he returns in years to come, And finds that you was false. His whole life will be ruined. And all of his happiness lost. Don't bear that stain, little girl, So make your love be true. Greet the boys in khaki. When he comes home to you. Throw your arms about him. Let him kiss your sweet little lips. Then he will joyfully tell you About his wonderful trip. Do not respect a slacker, They deserve not even a chance. The boys who should be honored Are the boys who came to France. I will close this letter hoping That you will be mine some day, As I bid you good-bye for the hour And also good-bye for the day. I is good-bye for a month— I love you true as ever. It may be good-bye for a year, And perhaps good-bye forever. Camp Stotsenburg Pampanga P. I. December 23, 1918. The Military branch of the N. A.

"The January Crisis" quotes from your paper an item which informs readers that the 359th Regiment composed entirely of Negroes, was decorated with the Croix De Guerre. Why cannot Americans be in a generouser wards their loyal, cheerful Colored brothers? Will we give honor to whom honor is due? Will democracy have any meaning for the 12,000,000 within these U. S.?

JACK JOHNSON BROKE IN SPAIN SATTLES FOR PURSE OF $200 PARIS, Feb. 28.—Jack Johnson is broke in Spain.

Gaurav, the jockey, just returned from riding at St. Sebastian, says. Jack is looking pretty seedy, wearing a shabby old fur coat, which he boasts coat $5,000, but he does not say how long ago. Every little while one of Jack's or Mrs. Johnson's diamonds disappear, presumably going to the nashm. Puts O. K. On German Sailor A few days ago Johnson fought an intermed German U-boat and saw he nicknamed Bill Flint of Boston, at Madrid, in the round round the palace, Jack in the fat stomach, which worried Jack but in the second round the German walked straight in to Jack's stiff arm, turned around three times, and drowned like dead men for the count. Jack said afterwards, he would not take on another tough guy like that. TUSCUMBIA, Ala., Feb. 29—Reargardless of the fact that eye witnesses testified that Frank Dillard and Jeff Jenkins were seen in the mob that stormed the jail and lynchened Will Lyft on the day of November 11, 1918, the jury in the case returned a verdict of not guilty in each case. Following the verdict, which Judge Curtis announced that at the request of Scientists Jones and Thomson he would have been charged with the murder which airports had been made and against whom charges of murder were preferred. The State introduced practically the same evidences in both cases. Both Dillard and Jenkins produced witnesses who testified that the defendants were elsewhere when the lynchings f. which they were accused took place. The State witnesses were able to prove the lynchings to recognize the men as those who were among the mob which took Byrd from the jail. Although the witnesses were prisoners, with accused long-criminal records, their testimonies were corroborated by jailer, Vance T. Wallace, who recognized the two men as the leaders of the lynchings in the window of an upper story. It is claimed that every effort was made by the State to secure indictment and conviction in these cases and that although some of the best legal talent in the state assisted in the preparation of the case, it has been apparent from the very outset that there was little likelihood of securing convictions of the 18 men. The lynching of Will Bryd and Wm Whiteide will be remembered by the synchings which young Booker Washington are valuable evidence and spoke bitterly against, and for which his life was threatened by the very mob and was forced to flee the state.

Times says, "Thisans, by Americans, and for Americans" - I can Negro has the first claim. Much newspaper space is being devoted to the subject of the deportation of some forty or fifty aliens who have just been sent from the far west to the far east of this county, in the custody of United States officers to be deported to their countries as "undesirables" in this country. The power of this Government was invoked upon these aliens because they were found to be leaders of a propaganda which, if successful, would overthrow the Government. These "undesirables" are not confined to any particular group, but among their following may be found almost every class of aliens in this country which represents about twenty-eight nationalities. Many of them have been in this country for years, but they have never become citizens of this Republic. They have neither desire nor inclination to become citizens, for that was not their purpose in coming here. Who is responsible for their power and influence? Why such an alarm over some forty or fifty aliens in America? Have we been asleep? America, what is your answer? We have allowed the aliens, who, for the most part, were the most ignorant of the other countries, to come to these shores, and the officials have accepted the color of their skin as a guarantee of good citizenship. They have been taken to our factories and our natural industries and given preference of a class of our own citizens to work and draw the best wages. This discrimination in their favor has helped them in many ways. The large salaries paid them have been hoarded and sent back to their native lands. The opportunity, given them in our industries has been used to spread, their propaganda. And now it comes that the Government itself is becoming alarmed at their power and influence. We have no tears to shed, because these aliens have abused the privileges thrust upon them on their arrival, in this country. But we are rather pleased to have them show their real souls. We feel like lamenting the fact that the men and women of our race, true and loyal, one-hundred per cent Americans, are forced back by the monster race prejudice, and the aliens are received with out stretched arms and forced into best and most lucratives positions. Our fathers gave over two hundred and forty years of unequiled toil, giving their very life blood to build this nation. Their sons are contributing annually millions for the advancement of a popular government. In every art and science we have rolled up our sleeves, stood with a keen eye, and grasped every opportunity given us. We have contributed to every art, science or industry which the people of this nation enjoy. We have no home across the briny deep awaiting our return, then why should the alien, the enemy alien, if you please, be allowed to come here and become the beneficiaries of our labor while we ourselves are forced into idleness or inferior positions just because of our color?

On last Sunday I heard Mr. Shillard, secretary of the National Association, for the Advancement of Colored People before the Forum of Kansas City, Kansas, in which he said, "The liberties of one group cannot be entrusted to the care of another group. He believes lagally, constitutionally and intelligently that he must fight, not by arms, but by fighting through the intelligence of the American people." On last evening I heard the Honorable Nelson Johnson state follows: "We man can be made satisfied and contented who sites by and against another man enjoy things to which he is entitled and cannot enjoy." A few weeks ago a committee of Negro citizens appeared before the judiciary committee of the Lower House of the Legislature, led by Prof. R. L Logan and. protested vigorously against the "Jim Crow Bill" which had been enacted in 1882, a midnight and the earnest appeals of those who spoke resulted in the bill being thrown out of the committee. There has been introduced in the state several bills which will be of unfold benefit to the people and the state as a whole. Those that have been engrossed and have come to me in printed form are as follows: Senate Bill No. 150 appropriating $200,000 for the establishment of a home for incorrigible boys. Senate Bill No. 448 appropriating $200,000 for the purpose of establishing a home for the Negro-blind, deaf, dumb, leeche-minded and tubercular. Senate Bill No. 495 to create the office of Negro Deputy Superintendent of public schools. Senate Bill No. 449 to legalize the Negro Industrial Commission created by Governor Frederick D. Gardner on Lincoln's birthday, February 12, 1913. Purpose: To make the Negro people of Missouri less economic asset to the state and to improve their educational, industrial and moral condition. Senate Bill No. 461 against Mob Violence which will penalize and imprison the violators and endow the dependents to the sum of $5,000. I now ask the question, are the expressions of Mr. Shilladay and Mr. Crews your sentiments? I want to add that in this state there are already established model institutions for the purpose of taking care of the white citizens who come under the class of penal and alenomical subjects. And these white people larger than are free from mob violence. But what about the Negroes. Are you satisfied with seeing the blind begging on the streets? Are you satisfied with seeing the hopeless victims of the great white plague expectorating on the streets and endangering the lives of the commonwealth? Are you satisfied with the present condition of the Negro farmer? I say, do you think they have had a square deal? Are you willing to leave the future of the deaf and dumb into the hands of others? Do you feel that provisions should be made for the care of our feeble-minded who do not deserve to be sent to an asylum? For present conditions are you satisfied with the boys who return from the penal institutions worse criminals than they were when they left? Do you think that a commission supported by the state for the purpose of investigating all conditions pertaining to the Negro and whose duties will be to report their findings with recommendations to the Legislature, be better known than the commission should be created? Do you think this would be a more definite and progressive manner of finding out our needs and asking for better legislation concerning the same? These and other bills of which I have no printed record, have been introduced in the Senate and House. All the bills in the Legislature that are of importance to the white people contain important lobby who watches with unmistakable vigilance. If what I call your attention to you find expedient I then command you to appoint yourself a committee of one to see or write your Senator or your Representative, and also advise you to call a public meeting, adopting resolutions and petition the Honorable Senators or Representatives to aid our people by enacting into law the laws that we believe matter not whether your member of the Legislature is a Republican or a Democrat, he is by virtue of his position your legal representative. I wish also to call your attention to the fact that it is the time when the legislature makes appropriations, to the institutions of the state. Do not forget that Lincoln Institute is our state school and it deserves a splendid appropriation if it is to be what all of us have it would be. So, when you send your resolutions or petitions to the legislatures add a good word for Lincoln Institute. Very carefully yours, WM. J.

The Fast-Dispatch crie on music signing his multihits in L. E. S., "gives the recent recital of the recent recital by Roland W. Hayes in this city. In his article, which occupied nearly a column, the critic says: Everyone agrees that the Negro has musical talent and particularly that he can sing. Authorities on primitive music maintain that he discovered the major and minor triads centuries ahead of Europe, and was employing these fundamentals when they had nothing better than the original genius for rhythm, is so subtle that learned musicians have despaired of recording its intricacies in European notation. In this country, his syncopeations salute with their "jazz" all the really popular music, and his plantation spirituals have contributed to American music its most original and important folksong element. Yet his melodious instinct is not always taken very seriously. It appears that he has a musicalian, instrumental music, minstrel ballad, and a banjo; at its best, it has not, or even higher than such relatively unattractive choirs as the Flak Buzzers. So that the recital given last night at Poro Aorolium, 430c St. Ferdinand avenue, by Roland W. Hayes, was nothing less than a revival. This awarther ten possesses all the natural sweetness, gentleness and union of the Negro voice, but adds to, a refinement of training, a cultivation of taste, a vocal artistry, which need ask no odds whatsoever on account of his color. In the first place, he sang three one-act articles: "Cleo," "Icumbo," "Icumbo." "Vestel la glabra." "From I Paglacchi," both in italian; and "La Reve de Des Grieux" from Messenet's "Manon." in French. The last was done almost as beautifully as one could wish; and Canis famous lament was delivered with notable pathos and style. Group 1 He was if his heart, however, in a group of spiritualists, arranged skillfully by Harry T. Burleigh, the Negro composer. They were; "I Stood on de Ribber ob Jordan," "Potar Go Ring Dam Bells," "Oh, Didn't It Rain!" and "It's Me, Oh Lord." These were distinguished by expressiveness and sway of tone, by delicate and quiet humor, by forwent religious ecstasy. They were done so charmingly that one would gladly have heard twice as many. Hayes' voice is not robust—his physique is too frail for that—but it is exceedingly pleasurable in its soft effects, its mezza-voce. His highest notes, when attempted resonance, are too apt to give an impression of effort, but in the middle and lower registers they are rich and fine. To every syllable he gives its proper coloring and inflection, and also its distinct enunciation. His intimation is intelligent. His intelligent comprehension of his songs is altogether thorough. His demeanor on the platform is gentlemanly and modest. Praises Audience. "R. L. S." also tells of the demeanor of the audience in the following words: "The audience of several hundred consisted mostly of persons of the singer's own race, many of whom arrived in automobiles and traversed the sidewalk at the entrance under a festive owning. It was a most decorous and prose-gathering, which meticulously refrained from any exuberant demonstrations, which listened with gravity and attentiveness, and chose to encore not the spirituals but the Italian aria from "Fagliaceli." NEGRO MAKES SMALL FOR TUNE IN HOTEL TIPS. From Kansas City (Kan.) Advocate. "A $1,000 bill caused the arrest yesterday of Albert Gage, a Negro, 39 years old, 543 Second Street. When searched by the police, Cage had $4,686.61 in his possession, money he had "had by" from the tips while employed as a porter at the Raschbe Hotel, Twelfth and Wyndotte streets, it is claimed. Additional evidences of money being stolen from the discarded at his room at 643 South Second street by Sergeant James Lowe and Clareance Ryan, who arrested Cage. Silk tapestries, expensive furniture, and rugs and costly paintings decorated the rooms. Fancy ralments, such as would cause less fortune Nero Beau Brummele to turn green with envy were found. A dozen silk shirts, nine Nestleton hats, more than 100 lurid silk ties and numerous pairs of shoes were found in the wardrobe. Cage told the police that his house furnishings and apparel, also the $4,686.61 were secured from the during the arrest at the wardrobe of the attorney at the hotel. At the present time he is working at the Swift & Company packing plant. He was later released by the police, after his story had been investigated." Tula porters have and are still making all kinds of money, and they should follow Cage's example so far as saving money; as to fine tapestries Tula boys or at least a great many of them, are King Beam along that line. Our boys are making all kinds of money and we trust while the sun is shining they will make hay, and put it away. BAD BLOOD IS DANGEROUS TO THE HEALTH. Now is the time to take a Spring Medicine.

No Horses, Only Tractor: Are Used to Work 2' JOO Acres of Indian F n Land Wheat will be harvest in next fall from one of the world's largest farms comprising about 200,000 acres of Indian lands in Montana and Wyoming. On this huge farm not a horse will be used. Instead, large tractors capable of turning over large quantities of prairie bed were purchased. In all 12 of these machines are now the property of the corporation, and the plowing record for last summer was more than one acre a minute for the working time. On one day, 1,800 acres were turned and brok n. Of this big tract, about 38,000 acres of irrigated land have been plowed and seeded, and the remainder it is announced will be cultivated during the coming summer. / The land is located on the Crow, Blackfeet and East Peck reservations in Montana, and the Wing river reservation in Wyoming. To make this land productive a corporation with KZ-000,000 capital was organized last spring, when Thomas D. Campbell, a North Dakota farmer, conceived the idea of cultivating the thousands of acres of the Indian lands in Montana and Wyoming. Campbell lacked capital, but obtained the approval and assistance of the secretary of the interior, Franklin K. Lane, and J. P. Morgan and other leading New York bankers. The corporation was then formed with several of these bankers as members of the board of directors and Campbell was president. Finest Dogskin Clothes Come From Manchuria and Mongolia Dogkins are made up into rugs for sleeping mats and clothing. The hair is long and thick and of all colors, from a rich black through all shades and combinations of brown, yellow and gray to pure white. The last are the finest. There are thousands of dog farms dotted over southwestern Manchuria and eastern Mongolia, where from twenty to some hundreds of dogs are raised annually as a source of wealth; for example, a bride will have as her dowry a number of dogs in proportion to her father's means. Nowhere else in the world are found such splendid dogkins—for size, length of hair and quality—as the extreme cold develops there. A full-sized robe is 8 by 63 inches, taken from eight dogs. The dogs are cruelly strangled when eight months old, in midwinter, the costs been then at their best. The export in 1916 was 803,000 pieces. 1918 Output of Quicksilver Showed Decrease in Quantity The domestic output of quicksilver in 1918, according to statistics compiled by P. L. Ransone of the United States geological survey, department of the interior, was $3,432 flasks of 50 pounds each, valued at the average quoted market price at San Francisco ($117.92 a flask) at about $3,642.91. Compared with the output in 1917 of $3,188 flasks, valued at $3,898.26, this shows a decrease in quantity of 2.727 flasks, but an increase in value of $134.05. The productive states were California, Texas, Nevada, Oregon and Idaho, named in the order of decreasing The effect of unfermented grape juice as a drink has been studied at the European "grape sorter" and to a slight extent in laboratory.
