PROPAGANDA RAGE RIOT IN WASHINGTON, D.C. GRAND LODGE OF PYTHIANS IN SESSION More Than One Hundred Lodges Represented; Delegates Send Protest Against Rioting to President Wilson. This city is fast gaining the distinction of being the convention city, as in demonstrated by the large gathering of delegates from all over the State where Negro Pythians have lodges. The formal opening of the thirty-annual session of the State Grand Lodge, took place Tuesday morning with the usual routine which characterizes all annual Grand Sessions. More than one hundred lodges are represented as well as is almost as many courts and some two hundred of the best and most intelligent men and women of the State are partaking of the hospitality of St. Louis as well as transacting the business of the Grand Lodge. Harmony Prevails. A splendid air of harmony prevails both in the Grand Lodge and Grand Court meetings. The election of officers will probably take place Thursday or Friday and indications point to the re-election of A. W. Lloyd as Grand Chancellor and Mrs. Bertha Buckner as Grand Worth-Counsellor. President Asked to Intervene. A telegram was dispatched to the President late Tuesday afternoon, imploring him to use his executive power to put a stop to the rioting in the city of Washington, D. C. which has caused a number of deaths and many serious injuries. Telegrams were sent also to each one of the sixteen Congressmen and the two Senators who represent Missouri at the Nation's capitol, asking their influence to put an end to race rioting. Will Be in Session All Week. The Grand Lodge and Grand Court will be in session the greater part of this week and the local committee has arranged a varied program which will reach a climax Thursday evening with exhibition drills by the crack companies of the Uniform Rank and an augmented band concert at the Coliseum. A military street parade treasured the principal streets Thursday at 1:00 p. m., starting from Pythian Hall, 2137 Pine street. A musical and literary program was rendered Tuesday night at Pythian Hall. The welcome address being delivered by Jno. Schmall, chairman of the Republican City Committee, representing Mayor Kiel, the response to the welcome address was made by Prof. Clement Richardson, the president of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City. Other interesting numbers on the program were filled by male members of the Grand Lodge and ladies of the Grand Court. Joht memorial service of the two Grand bodies was held at Gallifreie Baptist Church, Leffingwell avenue and Adams street, Wednesday evening, at 2:00 o'clock. The delegates as a whole are among the best citizens and include ministers, lawyers, teachers, physicians, dentists, business men and women, tradesmen, artists, journalists, editors as well as those from the more common walks of life. Dr. S. P. Jones, dentist, formerly with offices at No. 103 N. Jefferson avenue, but now located at $801 Lawton avenue (over Carpenter's Drug Store), has just returned from France. The public will, doubles, remember Dr. Jones for the manly stand he took when he resisted the attempt of a prejudiced Southern conductor to sleek him from a Pullman car in Texas as he was riding on transportation furnished by the Government and under Government orders. The case attracted nation-wide attention and was taken up with the War Department officials by the N. A. A. C. P. and the Race Congress headed by Mr. Monroe Trotter, which was at the time in session in Washington, D. C. Dr. Jones, who entered the Army as a volunteer private, proved his efficiency as a dentist by returning with the rank of first lieutenant, dental section. Dr. Simon F. Phillips Sues Dr. William Mansifee Dr. Simon P. Phillips, dentist at Compton and Lawton, sled suit July 15 with the Circuit Court Clerk for $10,000 against Dr. William Mansfield, physician of the colored schools, for alleged damages on account of certain malfections and libelous accusations said have been made by the physician. The suit grown out of the application of Dr. Phillips for the position of dental surgeon for the colored public schools, which pays a salary of $100 per month. Dr. Phillips claims that Dr. Mansfield opposed his appointment, and in doing so made charges damaging to his character. Dr. Julius B. Bell received the appointment. Dr. Stewart was appointed assistant physician and Mrs. J. W. Smith is dental nurse. The public school clinic is located at 3114 Lawton. MRS. M. TALBERT ARRIVES IN PARIS Representative of National Association of Colored Women, With Others of Race, Visiting War Zone; Workers Praised by King Albert. By Associated News From PARIS, July 12—Mrs. Mary Talbert, of Buffalo, walked into the women's cafeteria of the Young Men's Christian Association here today wearing the familiar Y uniform. Mrs. Talbert has come as the representative of the National Association of Colored Women, of which she is president, and with a group of other women of her race, is leaving for Verdun and Chateau-Thierry, where are located many Colored soldiers engaged in work in the cemeteries. There is a special need for workers among the Colored soldiers, and it is with the idea of taking cheer to them that these women have come overseas to augment the number who came here earlier in the history of the war. Mrs. Talbert is a graduate of Oberlin College and a leader of her race. After visiting numerous other camps in France, she will go to Scotland to place before the executive board of the international council of women, meeting at Haddo House, Scotland, some of the problems confronting her people. Mrs. Talbert is specially pleased over the recent action in Buffalo by the citizens, making possible the establishment of a community house or Colored men. She has received from King Albert, of Belgium, a letter expressing appreciation of the work of the Colored women of America on behalf of the Belgian people. Many of them "adopted" Belgium's children, which means that they obligated themselves to pay a certain amount regularly for the unplease of these children. Replying to an appeal for more considerate treatment of the people of the Congo region, King Albert assures the Colored women that their appeal will be heeded. A REAL LOCAL SUMMERRESORT St. Louisans have a summer resort second to none, cheap, and can be reached for six cents' car fare. It affords clean, wholesome amusement of a varied form and is located right in the heart of the city, being a mecca for those who do not or cannot go away. This is the Booker Washington Theatre This house is the coolest and best ventilated place of any kind in the city. A set of giant typhoon fans, 32 feet in circumference is located on the roof and sends thousands of cubic feet of pure air into the house every minute. There are also numerous ceiling and bracket fans to reinforce the typhoons, so there is now no spot in the house that is not cooler than any place possible to find outdoors. In fact it often becomes necessary to shut off some of the cooling apparatus to satisfy patrons who complain of being too cold. Still, there is no draft, just a good supply of steady, cool breeze drawn from a hundred feet up in the air. This is an actual fact that anyone can verify, and is noticeable by the many people seated and enjoying a good show in peace and comfort. One experiences no swirting, sticky, uncomfortable feeling, but coolness, comfort and a good, clean, wholesome entertainment. This house is not only unique in this feature, but in others. It is absolutely fire, cycane, and panic-proof. It is also the most sanitary house in town the floor being of concrete, with a four-foot floor and sewer connections, so it can be flushed daily with the house firehose. It is also owned and operated by one of our own race and gives employment to thirty-five of our own people. The shows are generally above par, especially of late and practically every serial is first run, as are also the comedies dramas and scenics in fact in other city is there an institution of the kind owned by our people to compare with it. This is admitted by out-of town visitors. The Booker Washington is linked with that other and wholly Ngro enterprise, "Jazzland," at 2215 Market. A suggestion for a way to end a perfect day: Go early to the Booker Washington, see a good show, then go to "Jazzland" and stay late. The annual picnic of the Central Baptist Sunday School will be Wednesday, July 30, at O'Fallon Park, grounds 1 and 2. A good time and a plenty of good things is to be enjoyed. Simma's Famous Concert Band will be there, too. You know what it will mean to come. Everybody invited. Everybody expected. Notice Colored Republicans There will be an important meeting of the Missouri Republican League Club at their headquarters. 2350 Pine. Thursday evening July 11, 8 o'clock. Every negro Republican is invited. A cordial welcome awaits all. Robt. T. Scott, president: Wm. Wynn, secretary: James Shaffer, treasurer. Holds Exhibition of Negro Art, Statues, Busts and Masks in Sculptured Wood By Associated Negro Press PARIS, FRANCE, July 23—France, true to her tradition of equality, liberty and justice, has created a new sensation for the world. It may be a fad, or it may be the beginning of an epoch that will continue as long as time. The war gave to France a clear idea of what the Colored peoples of the world have accomplished, and having learned much of this, France is anxious to learn more. This, stated on very good authority, that, while the American whites are somewhat hesitant about adopting the new French craze, there is no disposition on their part to be out of step with the times and consequently they are gradually falling in line. An exhibition of Negro Art—statues, busts and masks in sculptured wood—has met with great success, not only with the critics, but also with purchasers. Some of these sculptures have been sold for more than £1,000, and if artists white in finding in these works all the seeds of the greatest art there is certainly in this fashion, sincere admiration. This week a Negro fete will be held which will be the gerat sensation of the season. Negro music, Negro dances, Negro p. intings, Negro poems, war having carried away the last remains of unjust civilization. It is also to the black countries, we now go for light. Paris is interesting herself. Which Paris? Do not let our English and American friends be deceived when they return soon to their homes, smiling, nodding, repeating "gay Paris" in a tone at the same time regretful and reproachful. Do not let them again make the cruel pre-war mistake of supposing because they came to have a good time over here. that we are frivolous and superficial. We mean business. Soldiers Coming Home Fast Among the $80th who arrived was Sgt. L. S. Cobb, the baseball catcher. He may be seen in the Giants' lineup at Sunday's game.

SERGEANT IS SENTENCED TO HANG AUG.15 Soldier Convicted of Killing Conductor in Alabama Dec. 15 Denies Shooting; President Wilson Interested in Case ANNISTON, ALA, July 21 — Sergt. Edgar, Caldwell, the Negro soldier convicted at a special term of the Circuit Court of Calhoun County for the murder of conductor Geoffell Clinton, on the afternoon of December 15, will be hanged in the Calhoun County jail yard on Friday, August 16, exactly eight months after the commission of the crime. The Supramire Court of Alabama, on Monday handed a decision down sustaining the verdict of the Calhoun County court and jury which inflicted the death penalty on the slayer of the street car man. The only thing which can save the Negro from the hangman's noose is the commuting power of Governor Thomas E. Kilby, or some unforeseen and unexpected situation, and the chances are that the Negro soldier will pay the penalty for its crime on the gallows. The case of Caldwell has become one of the few celebrated criminal cases arising in this county. While riding as a passenger on the street car of the dead conductor last December, the soldier and the conductor became involved in a difficulty. After being elected from the car by Conductor Linton and his motorman, Kelsie Morrison, Caldwell drew a small pistol from his blouse, shot Conductor Linton squarely through the head, killing him instantly. Turning the smoking pistol on the motorman, the Negro soldier fired a second time, the bullet striking Motorman Morrison in the neck and inflicting a serious wound. The motorman lingered between life and death at Seller's Hospital for several days, but finally recovered. He is now engaged in the same capacity with the Alabama Power Company's street car service and but for the slight lameness of his right shoulder and arm, has entirely recovered from the effect of the pistol shot in his neck. A feature of the case which created a profound sensation was the action of President Wilson in wiring the governor of Alabama asking a postponement of Caldwell's sentence so that the Attorney-General of the United States could investigate the matter. Hundreds of citizens and officials in the North have taken a hand, in the letter writing and telegraphing, and the Caldwell case has become one of the most widely known in the history of the country. Caldwell was a member of the 157th Depot Brigade and had been to Hobson City on the afternoon on which Linton was shot and killed. A peculiar feature developed at the trial of the accused "Negro" before the Cathoun County jury. It was understood that Caldwell had always denied the shooting. His attorney, however, desired to urge in mitigation of the offense that he shot on great provocation. The upshot was that they made this argument for him, but he did not take the stand to testify in his own behalf. CAMP GRANT CASES GO TO PRESIDENT By Associated Negro Press CAMP GRANT, IL., July 23.—The fate of 14 Colbore soldiers accused of attacking a white woman in May, 1918, now rests in the hans of President Wilson, who will review the case. There have been two trials. Eight more are now on trial and there remains another soldier, brought back from France to appear. Maj. James P. Hall, one of the three judges, advocates in the case, has received his honorable discharge and returned to N°3 allies as professor of law at the University of Chicago.

C., July 23.—A score or more men dead or dying; hundreds injured, many seriously, and the police stations filled with prisoners, is the result of four days and nights of race rioting here. The exact number of casualties is not and probably never will be known. The reign of terror has been principally spread out. In small mobs, throughout the entire city and there has been fighting even in front of the White House. The trouble began Saturday night when a crowd of soldiers, sailors and marines started out to find a Negro whom they claim had assaulted the wife of one of their number. Not locating their man, they proceeded to take revenge upon innocent Colored persons. This was resented by the residents of the district and resulted in the raiding party being badly beaten. On Sunday night the service men broke out again Negroes were dragged from street cars and other vehicles between the Capitol and the Treasury Building. One group chased a Negro near the White House. At midnight a soldier routed a group of three Colored men in front of the Treasury-Building. One of them was felled by a blow from a rock held in a handkerchief by the soldier. He was taken to the hospital. The others escaped. The rioters operated in the heart of the business district and ran down every Negro they could find. Five men had been attacked and beaten by martines and soldiers by 12:20 o'clock. One was in front of the Raleigh Hotel. An ambulance was close, by and rushed him to the hospital. A few moments later another was found in front of the Washington "Post" Building and knocked down. He, too, was taken to the hospital. At the same time two martines leaped on a street car and began beating the one Negro they found. Another group of soldiers ran a man down near the Hotel Washington and felled him with a blow. A policeman is said to have seen the action without attempting to make an arrest. A Negro was forced to get off a street car in front of the White House soon afterward. Negroes Join Themselves. The rioting continued on Monday and Tuesday, but the Negroes had armed themselves and were getting the best of the clashes, except where the police came on the scene and, as a general rule, accepted the theory that they were the aggressors and sided with the whites. Many Negroes have been severely injured and two are known to have been killed while defending themselves. None have been free from assaults, Employees in Government buildings and chauffeurs for senators, representatives and other high Government officials have been victims of the mob. Two members of the Home Guard were killed Tuesday night and a dozen or more other white men were taken to hospitals. There have been more than 200 arrests, mostly Negroes, who are being heavily fined and given long jail seentences for carrying weapons. The city is now under military control. Two thousand soldiers, marines and sailors are on duty with the 700 police and a large force of Home Defense Guards. It is not believed there will be any further trouble. Looks Like Propaganda. It is not only believed by the Colored people, but is freely expressed by many prominent whites that the rioting is a result of propaganda to discredit the Negro and keep Congress from enacting lynchning laws and enforcing the Fourteenth Amendment upon the South. This seems plausible when it is seen that every crime of any sort that has been committed here during the past month is charged up to Negroes, and every time there seems to be a full in the onslaughts now going on on a new cry arises that another Negro has assaulted a white woman. This keeps the desperados inflamed and they attack every Negro found on the street, street care and in automobiles. Of course, the victims are innocent of doing any wrong, but this matters not with the rioters. On the thickly-populated Negro districts the residents seem to be well able to take care of themselves, and a great many who must go back and forth to their employment are carrying weapons for their protection. When they are attacked, which is usually by a gang, they attempt to defend themselves. In nearly every instance they are blamed for the clash and are accused of being the aggressors. Detectives Takes for Rioters. A number of police officers have been injured, and in two cases reported killed. This is due to the fact that the officers were in plain clothes and A warning was sent out to the Colored people of st. Louis a couple of weeks ago that an organized band of white men were planning to create a reign of crime here for the purpose of starting a race riot. It was said that this would be accomplished by blackening their faces so the crimes committed would be charged to Negroes. Practically no attention was paid to the threat, but now, in view of the riots at the Capital, the police here will be requested to be more vigilant in ascertaining the real perpetrators of lawlessness. The Colored people have no desire to protect crime, no matter by whom committed, nor do they wish to be unjustly accused. In rushing upon the Negroes or into their homes were taken by them to be rioters. There has been considerable shooting from automobiles, but in the darkened streets it is hard to tell whether the occupants are white or Colored. Attack Howard Theatre Patrons. A crowd of whites began a new offensive Monday night against the Colored people leaving the Howard Theatre and the result was that a dozen white men were badly beaten up in the melee, and a policeman said to be the crack pistol shot of the metropolitan force, was severely wounded. Teach Negroes a Lesson. The opinion was abroad Monday that the police were unable to cope with the condition and it was for this reason that scores of young men, chiefly in the uniform of soldiers, sailors and marines, took it into their hands to, as they said, "teach a lesson" to the Negroes. The center of the conspiracy was at two huts, maintained at the Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of Columbus on Pennsylvania avenue. It has been from these huts that groups of white men have sallied forth in search of Negroes. Secret Society Claim. So desperate has been the retaliation of the Negroes who have been attacked that the whites are claiming that the Colored men have a secret society known as the "Boute," the members of which have arrived to stand out against the white population if occasion arises. Appeal of the Commission. In an appeal issued by District Commissioner Brownlow Monday night, he clearly indicates who he considers the aggressors in the trouble. The appeal read as follows: "In common with every citizen, I deplore the disgrace of last night's events. "In common with every good citizen, I am determined to do everything humanly possible to prevent a recurrence. "I call upon every citizen to exercise his full influence to this end." close his full influence to this end. "The action of the men who attacked innocent. Negroes cannot be too strongly condemned, and it is the duty of every citizen to express his support of law and order by refraining from any inciting conversation or the repetition 'of inciting rumors and tales'. 'The balance of the appeal is taken up with notification of the police and military detail and a request that people stay off the streets. PROTEST IS SENT TO PRESIDENT WILSON In connection with the race riots in Washington, D.C., the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Monday telegraphed President Wilson as follows: "In the name of 12,000,000 Negroes of the United States the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully call your attention to the shame put upon the country by the mobs, including United States soldiers, sailors and marines, which have assaulted innocent and unoffending Negroes in the National Capital. Men in uniform have attacked Negroes on the streets and pulled them from street cars to beat them. Crowds are reported by The New York Times to have directed attacks against any passing Negro by cries of 'There he goes.' The effect of such riots in the National Capitol upon race antagonism will be to increase bitterness and danger of outbreaks elsewhere. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon you as President and Commander in Chief of the armed forces of the nation to make statement condemning mob violence and to enforce such military law as situation demands." WHITE CRIMINALS IMPERSONATE COLOR'D NEW YORK, July 19—John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today issued a statement charging that crimes charged to Negroes were frequently committed by white men who had blacked their faces. "A recent case," said Mr. Shillady's statement, "is that of Luther Wilson, a white man of Lacoochee, Florida, charged with attempted criminal assault upon a white relative by marriage while she was on her way to school. Wilson, who had blacked his face, was recognized by the girl He escaped after having been arrested, and shot Deputy Shoriff B. C. Wilcox, of Sorrent. "This is only one of a number of such cases reported to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People."

ON, D.C. ds Injured In The Capital COLORED PEOPLE ARM THEMSELVES Forced To Their Own Defense, They Fight Desperately And Casualties Are Many Police Aid Whites And Detectives Are Slain While Making Raids On Innocent Persons DAVID LAWRENCE BLAMES WHITES. David Lawrence, a special correspondent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, in a news article from Washington Wednesday, on the race riots there, says: "There are plenty of instances in which Negroes go about their business without making even an unfriendly gesture have been set upon in the general aggressiveness of the evening mob. Similarly in retaliation Negroes in their own section of the city have heaved missiles at innocent whiten. "The fault is in on both sides with a good deal of the blame on whites who should have exercised more self-control. Plenty of white pedestrians testify that white hoodlums usually foreign to Washington's population, but brought here by the war, have been at the bottom of many of the disturbances." COLONEL DEFENDS NEGRO SOLDIERS Commander of Tenth Cavalry Donies His Treasure Room Widow His Troopers Began Bishee Riot. NEW YORK, July 23 - A denial that Negro troopers of the 19th Cavalry started a riot in Bishee, Ariz, on July 5, has been sent to the Times by I.D. Colon. F. P. S. Snyder, commanding the regiment. Colonel Snyder wrote that, after full investigation, he had concluded that local officials had planned deliberately to aggravate the Negro troopers so that they would furnish an excuse for police and deputy sheriffs to shoot them down. He charges that members of the I. W. W. had influence in this plot. According to Colonel Snyder's account, the troopers did take a pistol away from a provost guard of the 19th Infantry after he had taken a pistol away from a trooper without cause. He says the troopers were culpable in this instance but in no other. In the confusion that followed, the account says, the civilian officials "then started to take pistols away from the cavalrymen and to assault and "shoot up the soldiers as soon as they disarmed them." The account says that the soldiers gave up their weapons without firing a shot. Colonel Snyder declares that the civilians fired upon Negro soldiers who were riding in automobiles and wounded some of them. He says that affidavits show that civilians made at least four unprovoked assaults on individual troopers, attempted to kill nine by shooting, and robbed one. Several affidavits are cited, one charging that a Mexican woman was shot by a civilian and not by a trooper. There was a deliberate effort to "hunt down the troopers" and kill them, Colonel Snyder charges. The members of the 10th Cavalry had been invited to Bibee to take part in the Fourth of July celebration. JUDGE ITTNER GIVES MASHER A LIGHT FINE Wm. E. Hart, White, Pleads Guilty to Charges Made by Mrs. Louise E. Johnson and Gets Off With $60 and Costs. Wm. E. Hart, the white masher, who insailed Mrs. Louis E. Johnson, at Channing and Olive, on July 7, was fined $25 and costs of each of two charges disturbing the peace and drunkness, by Judge Itiner in Court Room No. 1. Tuesday, the light fine, totalling $6, was due to the fact that Hart pled guilty to the charges. Mrs. Johnson was the only witness called. She testified to the facts as published exclusively in The Argus, issue of July 11. Hart accosted her on the street, calling her "baby," and when repulsed, used vile language and prevented her from getting on an Olive street car. She had him arrested, although he tried to bribe her to save himself. Mrs. Johnson is a niece of L. S. Williams, in whose undertaking establishment she is bookkeeper. Her husband is a mail clerk.

We invite you to come and join us. If you cannot go, send something; it will be appreciated. E. D. Beauford, Reporter. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH. Rev. C. A. Williams' sermons Sunday morning and Sunday evening measured up to any he has delivered since coming to the city. "The Prophet Kisha and Naaman the Leper" was his discourse in the morning, and "What It Takes to Constitute a Godly Man" was his theme Sunday night. Suffice it to say that each ser man was well prepared and forcefully delivered with telling effect. Dr. Williams' sermons, together with his life and strict method of doing things, has won for himself the highest esteem of the members of the church and the citizens of St. Louis. The carpenters are busy remodeling the church and each Sunday until further notice St. Paul members and her vast number of friends will worship at the Coliseum. The pastor is endeavoring to begin service on time, usual with at least one hundred voices in the choir. Preparations have been made to accommodate all who may wish to worship with us there, while the church is being renovated. The Sunday School (adult classes), the eleven o'clock and the eight o'clock service will be the only services each Sunday. The weekly services will be conducted in the lecture room of the church. Those who have not paid may do so at once. Although the mercury horses near the 100 mark St. Judy, there was no falling off at the morning service. Dr. Peck was at his best and proached an eloquent sermon on "The locked 'hor and Its influence on human character." His text was chosen from St. Matthew 23:13. The lesson was drawn from the great sermon of Jesus in the multitudes, and His discipline, when He denounced the poor practice of the Pharisees. In his wide range of thought, the pastor demonstrated, how the same some enacted centuries ago when the Scribes and Pharisees knocked the door of the kingdom of heaven against man, is being re-encoded today by the dominant rock. There are forces of evil at work trying to lock the door of citizenship, pervidence and opportunity against fifteen million law-abiding citizens, but Guea is above Satan. The lock is on the outside and Christ breaks the lock and walks in there is peace forever more. Dr. Peek delivered a short prefectal sermon at night from II Samuel xxiii: "Taith under great discouragements." In the discussion of his subject the pastor emphasized individual righteousness above family solidarity. The financial system is growing in popularity. The children are looking forward with great anticipation to August 1, on which date the Sunday school will hold their annual studio at O'Fallon Park. Come and enjoy an afternoon of pleasure and fun. If you would enjoy an ideal service scholarly sermon, sweet sings come to St James next Sunday morning. Our gallant and courteous ushers will see that you are comfortably seated.

TANNER THE NEGRO ARTIST By Associated Negro Press. BITTSBURGH, Pa., July 10—Henry O. Tanner, Negro artist, whose paintings won for him the approval of the artistic world, was born in Pittsburgh 60 years ago. The son of Benjamin T. Tanner, Afro American Methodist bishop of Philadelphia. He spent his youth in the Quaker City. As a boy he took delight in sketching the animals of the Philadelphia Zoo. His talent attracted the attention of Thomas Eakin and through his influence the boy was enabled to take a two years course at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His next step was to hold an auction of all his canvases, which netted him $300. With that sum he went to Paris, and almost bronzedly became the favorite pencil of the great Benjamin Constant. His first picture to attract universal attention was "Daniel in the Lion's Den." This was followed by "The Resurrection of Lasarus," which won a gold medal and was purchased by the French government. In 1899 he married Jessie McCauley Olsen of San Francisco, who gaped up for him a proud singing operatic career.

Moore, State Inspector of Colored schools, finds that in 38 counties of the State, Colored people have contributed for building new school houses for their children the sum of $32,453.75, public school officials in the 38 counties appropriating $43,000 for the same purpose.

NAT'L CONFERENCE OF SOCIAL WORKERS MEET AT ATLANTIC C. NAT'L CONFERENCE OF SOCIAL WORKERS MEET AT ATLANTIC C. By Associated Negro Press Many Negroes Take Part and Discuss Subjects Concerning The Negro In America ATLANTIC CITY, July 16 - Among the delacates in attendance at the National Conference of Social Work here are many Negroes, men and women. They say, with the white delacates, any conferred with them upon matters of common interest as well as upon those of peculiar importance to the Negroes. One of the interesting features at a meeting devoted to a discussion of the Negro problems was the statement of a white woman from San Antonio, Texas, that, in that part of her State, the Negro was coming into his own. He was being provided with better educational faculties and was able to go into business or buy land on the same terms as white men. A white man, a native of South Carolina, who had been in China for six years, said, that on his return he had talked with a Negro friend about conditions. This Negro has said that what the Negroes of the South wanted was an out-and-out voice from the pulpits against lawlessness; no taxation without representation; abolition of legalized robbery in the use of school funds; the removal of discrimination such as that the Negroes encounter in traveling. Many delegates protested voluntarily against segregation of any sort. One said it was worse when practiced in the North, for while the South, contrary to the general opinion, does not understand the Negro, it often has an affection for him, in particular, housing conditions were complained of. Negroes are compelled to live in discomfort and worse because they are not admitted to good neighborhood's. They want ad mission to the schools, to the settlements, to the neighborhood club houses on the same conditions as the whites of varying nationalities. They want to work on equal terms with the whites. BOSTON ORGANIZES BRANCH OF "LEA UE DEMDCRACY" By Associated Negro Press BOSTON, Mass., June 16.—The League of Democracy, an orgyration founded, for the purpose of "keeping alive the military spirit of the Negro Race, for agitation for military training in more colored schools, for fighting for Colored officers for all armed forces of the republic, and making a determined and intelligent fight to have all achievements of Colored military men given a just, fair and unprejudiced record in all histories used in the schools of the Republic," organized a branch in this city, that might. Officers elected are former officers and men of Colored units who participate in the World war. Objects and purposes of the league which is being organized in many cities, are set forth in a pamphlet sent out by the New York branch, the headquarters of the organization. White formed essentially to aid the former soldier, the league, according to its founders, will make itself active in all affairs affecting the welfare of Colored citizens. To quote the pamphlet, the league, "stands unswervingly, myselfingly and uncompromishty for the right to vote, abolition of lynching, annulment of "Jimcrowtum," economical opportunity, freedom from color discrimination, justice in the courts, industrial freedom and equal educational opportunity. Membership in the league will neither prevent nor embarrass local mixed white and Colored organization of veterans of the World war." Says Government insurance Is Invaluable to Negroes. WASHINGTON. D. C.—Discharged Negro soldiers and sailors, who served Uncle Sam in the world war, have begun to realize the value of their government insurance, according to Lieut. J. Williams, Clifford, a former officer of the famous Buffalo regiment, which made history in France, and how the representative of the Clerked lighting man in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, in speaking of the Coleped service 'man's insurance, Lieutenant Clifford said: "Discharged soldiers and sailors of my race, are taking advantage of the new and liberal reinstatement provision for lapsed war risk policies. Under this provision, the soldiers and sailors can reclaim their insurance even after having made no monthly payments of premiums for nine months from the date of discharge. "I am glad that the Negro soldiers and railors are appreciating the true value of Uncle Sam's insurance because it is the lowest cost and safest insurance obtainable. Efforts to educate them to advantages of this insurance has been highly gratifying thanks to the aid of organizations of all kinds interested in welfare work among Colored soldiers and sailors."

Bill Thomas, a blached face comedian, is opening the Booker Washington Theater show this week with a couple of songs and a line of talk which goes over even if it is rather antique. The patrons take kindly to Thomas' offerings, but he could "go big" if he would study up a little on some new stuff. Flemingus and Brown, a female team, are good entertainers. Miss Brown is a former cabaret singer here and is a favorite. She is also a lovely dancer and scores a hit. Miss Fleminges appears in cook and does well as a comedienne. The girls work hard and are rewarded with generous applause. Charlie Young, our own star singer, delights the patrons with three song selections. At the Ball, *Dear Old Pal of Mine*, and *Henna Love and Success to You*, Young's voice has a range that covers both tenor and bartone is rich and melow, and a pleasure to hear. He is scoring his usual hit. The show closes with Covert and Joyner in a good combination of singing, dancing and up-to-date joking. Covert is a back dancer with premier claims. His work is fancier and more artistic than any which has been shown here. Joyner, who is no novice at dancing himself, and a real comedian, always hits the ball-s Eye. The team is one of the best on the road and is being appreciated by the B W crowds this week. BIG PLAY AT THE COMET. "When a Woman Strikes," a Western melodrama in five acts, presents in its cast of players four of the best known artists working before the camera: Ben Wilson, Neva Gerber, Murdock MacQuarrie and Rosemary Thebby. The action is laid in the West during the days when the "Forty-Niners" were in their mad rush for the goldfields of California. The thrilling acts always accompanying the jobs of the stagecoach over the mountain trail, the Western dance hall, the unprincipled gambler and notorious "gentleman" type and the hardened red-blooded Westerner, so typical of those days—these incidents and these characters are the elements that hold your interest in the presentation of "When a Woman Strikes," to be shown on the screen of the Comet Theater Sunday, July 27. West End picture fans are getting real comfort this summer at the Jesta-mere, where the typhoon fans greet them with cool breezes as they enter the door. The orchestra, under the leadership of S. B.

Willcox is pastor, and found the little city sleeping peacefully in the quiet of the early Sabbath morning. At the home of Mr. Louie Bollinger, a very appetizing breakfast was prepared. On. on reaching the church, we found Miss Alice Gibony the volunteer S. S. teacher who had driven sight miles from her home, had proceeded us. Of the 20 enrolled scholars, 17 were present. A collection of 50c was raised. The beauty of it all was, although the populace is widely scattered, three fast services were held aside from the S. S. . In the afternoon Mrs. Donaldson lectured on "What WOMEN Can Do," basing her arguments on the Bible, and in such eloquent terms as to sway the mixed audience with the reconsideration of women's worth. This is probably the only church in the district that actu- ally carries a mixed congregation at all services. White people take an active part in the religious worship at all times...The day's collections were at least $6.60; to the missionary was given $1.18. Another noteworthy feature is that a little less than two months ago Rev. J. W. Willcox went into this much neglected place and succeeded in drawing together the scattered baptist and with the help of Rev. W. H. Hill organized a church, since then the white Baptists have revived themselves and now use the same church building for their own services when they are not using it...It is the belief of the reporter that the hand of God is over them.

BARTERING THE RIGHTS OF CITIZENS It is bad enough to see the state and municipal laws being manipulated to further the selfish aims of men who are betraying the confidence of the people who selected them as their representatives, but it is more deplorable and reaches intolerance when the Constitution of The United States becomes so entangled with corrupt methods, that one class of politicians can use any part of it as a threat of enforcement to whip the other class into line. If the Constitution is good for the people of this country, it should be enforced, all of it, all of the time. It was designed to be "Of the people, for the people and by the people." Its basic principle is freedom and equality. Any failure to enforce any one of its clauses is a breach of confidence on the part of the men in whose care it is trusted. When we learned that the South has been threatened with the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment as a club to force her congressional members into line on the prohibition question, then we know that the Constitution has become contaminated with political greed and nefarious selfishness. Who knows how far this has gone? If the Fourteenth Amendment can be used to barter the rights of twelve million loyal citizens, is the rest of the Constitution safe? Who knows what other part of this sacred document is being used as a mere "scrap of paper" for trafficking? The people are not taken into the confidence, of its trusted servants, below the surface of governments; political schemes are promoted underground. When our representatives, in desperation, admit they are purposely permitting the Fourteenth Amendment to be violated, they disclose a grave situation. They create a condition out of which will come a political upheaval. A new leadership is a necessity. The Constitution must be enforced. If President Wilson is so worried about the European situation that he cannot sleep lest he wake up the next day and "find Europe had gone into a crash," why does he not take the people into his confidence. If it concerns him so vitally, then it concerns the whole American people. Why should he debate whether he should tell the people the whole truth or not? Mob law has reached the capitol. It has braved the acid test under the very eyes of our senators and representatives. It wont be necessary to send a Congressional Committee to the scene for an investigation. The scene has come to Congress. The trouble should be unbiased investigated. It should not be taken for granted that the crime wave of burglary, larceny, murder and assaults; which infests the District of Columbia, is perpetrated by Negroes alone. It was not so in Chicago, St. Louis and other cities where crime has been epidemic since the soldiers began to return. Many white faces have been found behind a coat of lamp-black. Does the State of Missouri plan to go back to the anti-bellum days of pompous military display, or does it intend to maintain its record of efficiency gained during the recent great struggle? If the latter, then a Negro National Guard Regiment is essential. "Whats worth doing at all is worth doing well." DR B. G. SHAW RETURNED TO METROPOLITAN CHURCH FOR ANOTHER YEAR. The Missouri Annual Conference which closed its annual Conference Session last Sunday night, July 20, concluded one of the greatest annual conferences in the history of the A. M. E. Zion Church. The conference was held in Des Moines, d. It was the first annual conference of the A. M. E. Zion Connection ever held in the State of Iowa. A large group of people on Tuesday night greeted their returned pastor with great joy and enthusiasm. Dr. Shaw is as popular today with that progressive congregation as he ever was, if not more so since coming to St. Louis. Well, it ought to be, for it is his own making and he has built up one of the greatest religious organizations throughout the United States today. The Rev Dr. Shaw was interviewed by one of the Argus reporters and he was asked since he had been returned to St. Louis for almost an indefinite period, what would be his program along the lines of religious, civic and political movements. His reply was that his fire concern was to make the Metropolitan Church a great religious and social center, and to make the community life worth while, that the practical side of Christianity might be developed to its highest possible degree, and that the Metropolitan Church must be the mecca of the highest possible citizenship in the surrounding community. He was asked to say a word an to the new City Hospital No. 2 and other movements for racial development. He replied that he had the greatest possible confidence in the City Hospital No. 2 becoming of great helpfulness to the Colored people of this city. He stated he was not satisfied after having visited many of the Eastern and Western cities, with the fact, that we have no Colored policemen in uniform, and not one single fire department has been intrusted to Negroes. He said St. Louis was further behind in holding first class political jobs than any of the large cities he had visited and that he would not be satisfied until the Negro should hold first-class political jobs in proportion to the strength of his role, and neither should any Negro in these days of unrest be satisfied with anything less. He said since woman suffrage has been granted to Negro women in Mine sound, it is high time that we were getting buoy along the line of organizing our women into political clubs, that they might be instructed along political lines. "Already," said he, "I have started a big women's political movement to cover the community in which I live, and I hope it will spread to the uttermost bounds of the city." What about the various upheavals and riots, he was asked? "I am not alarmed," said he, "and I am not afraid. According to the condition of things in America we may expect almost anything. The race is being tried, and, believe me, it will stand the test. "I believe since rioting has been in almost every part of the country within the past few years, and the President of the United States declares that he did not know certain things were going on. God let this one happen right in his eyes and right upon his nose, so he could mask the angle of the battle and see human blood spit at the foot of his throne. Perhaps he will be able to see this, and since he has just returned from his trip from France, preaching a doctrine he is not living in America, he might wake up and put the democracy that he has been preaching in Europe in action in America." Dr. Shaw will deliver his first sermon for his conference year, Sunday morning. He will also give a brief sketch of the scope of his work for this conference year. EL BETHEL SAPTIST CHURCH.

DURHAM, N. C., July 26—Mrs. Spaulding, wife of C. C. Spaulding, vice-president and general manager of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, died Saturday. She had been stick for some time. Mrs. Spaulding was an active worker and was formost in everything that meant the uplift and advancement of her people. People from all over the state attended the funeral, and there were many telegrams and letters from all parts of the United States. ly Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, IL, July 23.—Mrs. Blan dena Albright, a highly respected white lady of this community has is- user: a statement in which she des- cribes not only the ignorance of white people concerning the ideals of Colo- red people, but also the folly of color prejudice. For, says Mrs. Albr night: "In reply to your editorial of June 30, 'Candor Between Haces,' I agree with you that the Colored boys were very anxious to fight for the United States. This was the proper way for them to feel about it, as every citizen should feel that it is his duty to defend and uphold the integrity of his country. They are not asking for any special credit for this demonstration of love for their country. They fought alongside of their white brothers not only for their country, but for principle, democracy in its broadest sense, which knows no color or race and gives opportunity and freedom to all alks; it does not discriminate or segregate. "If the United States had curbed democracy and contented herself by allowing her ships to navigate certain waters, thus obeying the wishes of Germany, perhaps, we would not have had war with Germany. But, the United States preferred, war to the surrendering of 'democracy.' Let us not make democracy a farce, but a reality. "The white people as a whole are ignorant of the ideals of Colored people, because they do not meet the thinking class. They usually meet their cook or janitor. The greatest trouble comes from ignorance on the part of the white people in prejudging their Colored fellowmen. If the white people will educate themselves to know that the only reality is spirit and matter counts for naught, they will have no trouble in living harmoniously with their Colored brothers. They will know that race worship is idolatry, and will cause being a nation of race worshippers, and will recognise principle as the only reality. If this terrible war has not taught us this lesson, all the lives which have been sacrificed for democracy are in vain and we do not appreciate their supreme sacrifice." Congressman Dyer Aids Appointment of Negro WASHINGTON, D. C. — Congressman L. C. Dyer of St. Louis, Mo. has accomplished In the capitol at Washington something never before brought about. What he has done is the appointment of a colored man to operate one of the electric elevators in the Capitol that pays $120 per month. The colored man that he has had appointed is Mr. Joseph L. McLemore of St. Louis, Mo. Since Congressman Dyer fought and obtained this consideration, several other colored men have been appointed to operate elevators. These positions are considered very good, not only on account of the pay, but because of the skill and efficiency required to do the work. Congressman Dyer is also at all times working for increases in pay for colored men employed in positions at the Capitol. With such a record behind him, Congressman Dyer will have the united support of the negroes of the Twelfth Missouri District and the thanks of the negroes of the whole nation. BOYD FACTION WINS ANOTHER VICTORY (Special to The Argus) NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 18—In a decision handed down by The Chancery Court Thursday, R-H. Boyd and his board members of the Baptist Association scored another victory over the Morris faction.

Diligence came after the split during the Convention of The National Baptist Association in Chicago four years ago. This decision sustains the Boyd-Jones faction in their contention.
