MINNEAPOLIS DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL VOL. 2 Single Copies 5 Cents MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., MAY 4, 1912. Bishops Turner, Schaffer and Smith AmongaFirst Speakers. Kansas City, Mo. - Representative African Methodist from all sections of the United States, the West Indies and Canada are gathering here to attend the twenty-fourth quadrennial session of the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, which opens in the Allen A. M. E. church Monday, May 6. The delegates will number more than 500 and will represent 800,000 members of the strongest colored Methodist body in the world. At the forthcoming session reports from all departments of the church will be received, laws made and revised, the general needs of the denomination discussed and several new bishops and all of the general officers elected. The new bishops are to take the places of Bishops Edward W. Lampton, Abraham Grant, James A. Handy and Wesley J. Gaines, who have passed away since the last general conference. Prominent among those mentioned in connection with the bishopric are John Hurst, financial secretary of the denomination; W. W. Beckett, secretary of missions; G. W. Allen, editor of the Southern Christian Recorder; T. N. M. Smith, W. D. Chappelle, president of Allen university; Joshua A. Jones, former president of Wilberforce university; J. M. Conner, Little Rock, Ark.; F. Jesse Peck, California; James Dean, Florida; William T. Vernon and H. T. Kealing. Revs. A. L. Gaines, Carl M. Tanner and the present incumbent, R. R. Wright, are aspirants for the editorship of the Christian Recorder. Dr. C. V. Roman and the Rev. R. C. Ransom are among those mentioned to succeed H. T. Kealing as editor of the A. M. E Church Review, and John R. Hawkins commissioner of education for the denomination, is among the aspirants for the financial secretaryship. Dr. D. J. Jordan, president of Kittrell college wants to succeed Professor Hawkins as commissioner of education. Rev. M. W. Thornton of Philadelphia is among the aspirants for business manager of the A. M. E. Publishing House, in Philadelphia. The various boards of the African Methodist church have met here this week to receive annual reports from their agents. These meetings are usually held in the city, where the headquarters of the respective boards are located. Bishop Henry M. Turner, the senior prelate, will call the general conference to order. At other sessions the bishops will preside in turn. The opening sermon will be preached by Bishop O. T. Shaffer of Chicago. Bishop Charles S. Smith will read the quadrennial address of the bishops. The finishing touches were put upon the address a few days ago at a meeting here of all of the bishops. A great array of speakers will take part at the formal opening service. The general conference is made up of lay and clerical delegates from each annual conference. Prior to 1868 every elder who had traveled for six years was a member of the general conference. The next session of the general conference will probably be held at Mother Bethel church, in Philadelphia, in connection with the centennial of African Methodism. Charges that Solicitor McCabe of the United States department of agriculture and Chief A. D. Melvin of the bureau of animal industry have knowingly permitted meat packers to defraud the public, by nullifying the letter and spirit of the meat inspection law, are contained in a resolution by Representative Nelson of Wisconsin asking for an investigation by congress. The house, by a vote of 241 to 15, empowered its banking and currency committee to make a sweeping investigation of the financial interests of the country; their relations to industrial, transportation and banking interests; and the extent to which their interrelations may constitute a "money trust." The resolution of Representative Nerris of Nebraska, calling on the department of justice for all papers and information in its possession concerning the charges against Judge Archbold of the United States commerce court, passed the house without debate. On motion of Senator Reed of Missouri, a Democrat, the senate ordered the printing as a public document of President Taft's Boston speech of April 25, Mr. Roosevelt's reply and the president's rejoinder. The senate adopted the Culberson resolution calling for a full report on the contributions made to the national committee of all parties in the presidential and congressional campaigns of 1904 and 1908. WILL ABIDE BY WILL OF VOTERS Roosevelt Renounces Claim to Massachusetts. HIS DELEGATES AHEAD Had Majority Over Eight Taft Candidates in the State at Large, but the President Was Endorsed by a Plurality of Several Thousand. Oyster Bay, N. Y., May 2.—Colonel Roosevelt has renounced his claim to the eight delegates at large to the Republican national convention elected for him in Massachusetts. He telegraphed that he would expect them to vote for President Taft, taking this action, he said, because of the fact that President Taft carried the state on the presidential preferential vote. Boston, May 2.—Massachusetts emerged from her first presidential preferential primary election to find that the Republican voters had expressed a preference for the renomination of President Taft but, notwithstanding, had given Colonel Roosevelt eighteen of the thirty-six delegates to the national convention. The Democratic voters of the state expressed a preference for Speaker Champ Clark, although a majority of the delegates to Baltimore will go pledged to Governor Foss. Returns from 1,077 out of 1,080 election precincts give: Republicans (presidential preference): La Follette, 1,756; Roosevelt, 71,203; Taft, 74,808. Taft's lead is 3,605. Delegates at large: Baxter (heading Roosevelt group), 74,121; Crane (heading Taft group), 65,876. Baxter's lead is 8,245. Democratic (presidential preference): Clark, 19,903; Wilson, 9,206; delegates at large, Coughlin (pledged to Foss), 17,050. Tangle Due to New Law. Just how Massachusetts could send an evenly divided delegation to Chicago, while on the preference vote Taft has a plurality of 3,600 over Roosevelt, is partly explained by the wording of the state presidential preferential primary law enacted two months ago. By that law every voter to have his vote recorded was compelled to mark each delegate at large of his party, there being no circle for voting by groups. The law enabled hundreds of voters to mark the eight names in the delegation headed by C. S. Baxter and styled "for Theodore Roosevelt" and then express a preference for Taft on another part of the ballot. On the Democratic ticket, although ten of the fifteen candidates for delegates at large to Baltimore were either pledged or indicated to be "for" Governor Foss, there was no Foss name in the presidential preference column. Speaker Clark, whose name did not appear in the preference and who defeated Governor Wilson by a vote of 2 to 1, did not have a single pledged delegate on the list. Many of the Democratic district delegates were also elected pledged to Foss. Another incident which some observers say many have had a bearing on the selection of a Roosevelt delegation at large with a Taft preferential was the sandwiching in of the name of former State Senator Frank Selberth "pledged for Taft," between the Roosevelt and Taft groups. METHODISTS IN CONFERENCE Opening Session at Minneapolis Largely Attended. Minneapolis, May 2.—It was a wonderful picture, the opening of the twenty-sixth general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church in the Minneapolis Auditorium. Nearly 3,000 men and women from all countries, climes and nations stood on their feet and joined in the singing of that famous old hymn, "Coronation." Bishop William Burt prayed long and earnestly and Rev. Andrew Gillies of Minneapolis read the 70th Psalm. Then came the singing of the "Glori Patr" and the reading of scripture by W. E. Carpenter, superintendent of the largest Sunday school in the world at Brazil, Ind. Following the devotions the roll call was read. It occupied nearly an hour. Dr. J. B. Hingeley was re-elected secretary of the conference and then a provisional program by the general conference commission was submitted. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. CONGRESSIONAL DOINGS. READ THE STAR—IT'S NEWS. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., MAY 4, 1912. MAY BAR COLORED COLONEL School Faculties Said to Fear Race Feeling. Boston, Mass.—The story printed in the daily papers announcing that a colored youth, Captain Malcolm Banks, would, in all probability, lead the parade of schoolboy cadets this year, caused a great deal of discussion yesterday among the boys of English High and Boston Latin. The faculties of the schools are inclined to think it would tend to arouse race feeling. Students In Favor. They were the only ones, however, to voice this sentiment, for the student body at large seems to agree that if Captain Banks won his honor in fair competition, he should have the colonelcy of the regiment, of which his company is judged to be the best drilled. Now, however, arises a situation by which it may develop that the pen is mightier than the sword after all, for Captain Banks can not be sure of this honor until the school authorities of his school decide whether he is higher in scholastic rank than his nearest competitor. It is expected a decision in this matter will be reached next Monday. Yesterday afternoon concluded the drilling of the school cadets for this year, the 12 companies, senior and junior, of the second regiment, the Latin School boys, going through their drill at Mechanics' Hall. The winner of the junior drill were: Company L, Captain Samuel E. Nash, first prize; and Company M, Captain Wallace E. Dukeshire, second prize. In the senior drill the first prize was won by Company B. Captain Albert W. Vinal, and the second prize by Company F, Captain Jerome J. Sullivan. BISHOP SCOTT REPORTS. Bishop Isaiah B. Scott, the only Negro bishop in the Methodist church, and he a missionary bishop stationed during the quadrennium and hope in Liberia, reported excellent progress fully of the future. The work, he said, is growing beyond his power to care for it adequately with his present means, and he asked for an increase of $5,000 a year so more teachers and helpers could be employed. With that addition the bishop said 5,000 members could be added the coming four years. The Mohammedans, he said, are zealous in making converts and the struggle between that religion and Christianity is acute and constant. To show the work done since the last conference, the bishop said that eight years ago there was in Liberia the oldest foreign mission of the church with 3,301 members after 70 years effort. Now the membership is 7,687. The Sunday school children then numbered 2,447; the figure is now 4,442. Church and school property has increased from $95,200 to $765,454. The number of children in the day schools is 1,965 of which 1,548 are of parents who are asking the church to help them to Christianity. Rev. Robert Jones, D. D., for Bishopric. The colored delegates are determined to have one of their own delegates as a bishop and are practically unanimous in supporting the Rev. Robert Jones, D. D., editor of the South Western Christian Advocate, North Carolina conference, and are confident they will elect him bishop. If Dr Jones is elected there will be one colored bishop and one colored missionary bishop. Rev. Isaiah B. Scott. Minnesota has never had one of its delegates elected to the episcopacy. FIRST NEGRO PATROL OF BOY SCOUTS FORMED IN ILLINOIS. Chicago, May 1.—A Negro patrol today was admitted to membership in the Boy Scouts of America, marking the first time Negroes have been taken into the organization.

LOYAL TO HIS ALMA MATER. Attainments of Professor J. W. Work of Fisk University. The excellent record made by J. W. Work, professor of Latin and history at Fisk university, in Nashville, Tenn., as an instructor and capable field representative in connection with the Fisk singers, entitles him to a place among the foremost of our present day educators. Professor Work has made a long and thorough study of Negro music and is recognized as an authority in that direction. He was born in Nashville, under the shadows of Fisk university, and was educated in the public schools of his native town and at Fisk, from which institution he graduated with honors. Actuated by a further desire for education, he entered Harvard university. He afterward took a course of study at the University of Chicago, where he earned the degree of master of arts. He then returned to Fisk, his alma mater, and became an instructor. His superior knowledge gained at the eastern colleges stood him in good stead for valuable service at Fisk, and he was placed at the head of the Latin and history departments of the university several years ago, where he has since taught. As a teacher he has made good and has maintained the high standard for which the school is noted. He is one of the most popular instructors at the university and has become a fixture. Along with his academic duties he devotes much time to the study and development of music. He has written and spoken much on music and has made some very valuable contributions on the folk songs of the race. Professor Work is now writing a book on the history of Negro music. He devotes much space to the necessity of preserving the musical traditions of the race, which have been handed down in the folk songs. Some of the most prominent musical critics of the country often seek the opinion and advice of Mr. Work on matters pertaining to Negro music. While in New York recently Professor Work had several consultations with musical authorities on the Negro's contribution to music. He believes the race exemplifies many of its strongest qualities in its musical gifts. In the city of Nashville he is identified with many organizations having for their aim the betterment of the race. ANTI-LYNCHING SOCIETY WIELDS WIDE INFLUENCE Work For Human Protection Receives Substantial Aid. Boston.—The work and influence of the Anti-Lynching society, composed of a large number of thrifty and intelligent colored women of this city and vicinity, are being felt for good in many sections of the country. Its growth has been substantial and its work thorough. Scarcely a lynching has taken place in any part of the United States without its deep concern for the punishment of the guilty perpetrators. The April public meeting of the society was held in Faneuil hall and was attended by many of the leading white and colored citizens of this community. Among the speakers were such well known men as the Hon. A. E. Pillsbury, Bishop Alexander Walters of New York, Rev. Dr. A. Mark Harris of Jersey City, N. J.; the Rev. Herbert S. Johnson, Mr. Darius Cobb, the noted artist, and the Rev. James Foster. That the women have the ear of the public in more than an ordinary sense may be seen from the fact that in their efforts to investigate the cause of lynchings in the various sections of the country they have often received substantial financial assistance from a distance. As an encouragement in this direction the Colored Women's Nonpartisan league of San Francisco sent $5.85 and the William Murray lodge, Knights of Pythias, donated $5 toward the expense of the meeting. The organization has reached the point where it has to constantly seek legal advice in order to do the most effective work of investigation, and it is hoped that our men of legal lore will consider it a privilege to co-operate with the officers of the society in giving the necessary advice. Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, president of the organization, has labored assiduously to bring the work up from an obscure position to its present place of influence and usefulness. She has had the support of the other officers and members who, like herself, labor constantly for the promotion of justice and respect for human rights. Justice W. R. Morris has lunched a boom for Justice Benj. J. Davis of Georgia as the next Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F. Smoke the Reliable 5c SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 5e HIGH POST FOR YOUNG LAWYER W. C. Mathews Appointed Assistant District Attorney. Selected by Attorney General Wickersham at the Suggestion of Influential Friends as the Successor of the Hon. William H. Lewis—Man of Known Legal Ability. Washington.—Another fine appointment has come to the race from the Taft administration and the department of justice, over which presides that sterling friend of the race, Attorney General Wickersham, to whom credit is due for the appointment of William C. Mathews as assistant district attorney for Boston, the position previously held by William H. Lewis before his elevation to assistant attorney general. Mr. Mathews is one of the best known young colored lawyers in Massachusetts. HON. WILLIAM G. MATHEWS. Like his predecessor, Mr. Lewis, he was a famous football player on both the Andover and Harvard teams and a famous baseball player on the teams of both colleges. For three years he was the crack brilliant shortstop on the All American college team. After his graduation from Tuskegee, where he was the valedictorian of his class, Mr. Mathews entered Andover college, in Massachusetts. So popular was he at Andover that for several years he was made captain of the team, a place never before or since held by a man of his race, and he was also one of the editors of the college paper." In the fall of 1901 he entered Harvard college, where he finished his law studies, and afterward was admitted to practice. He is a very popular member of the race in the old Bay State and a bright, capable lawyer. The matter of his appointment was taken up at the White House by his friends in this city, and Mr. Wickersham favored it at once. As soon as he was convinced that Mr. Mathews had the required legal ability he ordered the appointment made. The appointment of Mr. Mathews only confirms what President Taft has privately and publicly said—that when his administration was completed the Negro would have no reason to complain. This appointment totals three colored assistant district attorneys under this administration and one assistant attorney general. By reason of both the leading Republican candidates maintaining headquarters in this city it makes it a veritable political caldron. The friends and supporters of both Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt predict, as it were, a hand to hand contest for the nomination from now on until this particular phase of the situation is settled. Each candidate will be measured by what he has done for the benefit of the people as chief magistrate of the nation. In so far as the colored voters are concerned, the sentiment in many sections of the country is to the effect that careful consideration is being given to the merits and demerits of both candidates and that much will depend upon the actions of the national Republican convention to be held in Chicago in June as to the real lineup of the colored citizens throughout the country. On the other hand, it is said that a careful perusal of the records of the two candidates bearing on their public speeches on the race question, coupled with the recognition which the race has thus far received in a public way, is being made and that this will go far toward determining the final action of the colored citizens in this campaign. No quarter asked and none given seems to be the lapse dixit of the supporters of each candidate from now on. BOOIETY No.37. TITANIC AFTERMATH. Frederick Fleet, who was lookout on the crow's nest of the Titanic, told the senate investigating committee that on the night of the disaster some time after 10 o'clock he reported a black mass of ice ahead to the officers on the bridge. Just how long this was before the collision the lookout could not say. Fleet told the committee that there were no lookout glasses on the Titanic's crow's nest after leaving Southampton. If he had glasses, he said, he could have seen the iceberg enough sooner to have escaped it. Guglielmo Marconi, chairman of the Marconi company, limited, told the senate committee investigating the Titanic disaster that he authorized the wireless operators of the Carpathia and Titanic to sell the stories of the great catastrophe for publication. Mr. Marconi explained that in giving consent for the sale of these stories he had not attempted in any way to suppress information of the wreck. J. Bruce Ismay, head of the steamline line which owned the ill fated Titanic, was ordered away from one of the ship's lifeboats while it was being lowered, because, in his excitement, he was interfering with the ship's officers. Words too objectionable to be repeated aloud in the senate inquiry into the Titanic disaster was used by Harold G. Lowe, the fifth officer of the ship. When the White Star liner Olympic, sister ship of the ill fated Titanic, was ready to sail from Southapmton, Eng., for New York, 300 firemen and engine room workers quit the vessel, declaring that the collapsible boats on the Olympic ware unseaworthy. The Olympic is lying off Ryde, isle of Wight, with 1,400 passengers aboard. Two steamers and a schooner were only a short distance away from the Titanic, according to the testimony of Captain James H. Moore of the steamship Mount Temple before the senate committee investigating the tragedy. Ice was the barrier that held back vessels hurrying to the rescue. The bodies of Colonel John Jacob Astor and Isidor Straus, the millionaire merchant of New York city, who lost their lives in the Titanic disaster, have been recovered. Two hundred and five bodies of the victims of the Titanic disaster have been picked up at sea by the cable steamer Mackay-Bennett and taken to Halifax, N. S. The Titanic funds, including those collected in the United States and Great Britain, now aggregate well over $1,500,000. WANTS LYNCHING STOPPED. Right Use of the Ballot Will Do it, Says Dr. W. A. Creditt. In an able article which appeared in a Philadelphia paper not long ago from the pen of the Rev. William A. Creditt, LL D., are found the following interesting and logical statements: "It is difficult to make us believe that our nation can exert influence to the advantage of the Hebrew in Russia and at the same time be unable to exert an influence upon the states where our people are lynched without trial, without judge, without jury, and portions of the charred, riddled, mutilated and dismembered bodies carried around as souvenirs. "The colored men in the section of the country where they have the right of franchise have a mighty power in the ballot. Let them, as the Hebrew, remember, no matter how highly they themselves may develop, their development, opportunities and successes are only theirs in order to help their suffering brethren and they are connected by blood with the colored men who suffer in certain sections of our country. "If the Hebrews in America can succeed in having America protect the Hebrews in Russia, why may not the colored men of the north so use their political power as to cause the statesmen of this section to come bodily out in their utterances and say, 'Lynch law must go?' Dr. Credit is the successful pastor of the Cherry Memorial Baptist church in Philadelphia, Pa., president of the New England Baptist missionary convention, which includes ten states of the Union, Haiti and Nova Scotia within its jurisdiction. He is also president of the Industrial school at Downingtown, Pa. Employment Bureau of Y. M. C. A. The employment bureau of the Carlton Avenue Y. M. C. A. in Brooklyn has been in operation one year. It was started by Arthur L. Comther, one of the younger members of the association, for the purpose of assisting unemployed members and non-members in getting suitable employment. Mr. Comther, who has risen to the position of assistant secretary and head of the department, has made the following report: Number of applicants for positions, 298; applications from employers for help, 297; number of positions secured for applicants, men and boys, 151. efective Page VOL. 2 Single Copies 5 Cents DELEGATES TO GENERAL CONFERENCE THRONG CITY.

Attainments of Professor J. W. Work of Fisk University. The excellent record made by J. W. Work, professor of Latin and history at Fisk university, in Nashville, Teen.. as an instructor and capable field representative in connection with the Fisk singers, entitles him to a place among the foremost of our present day educators. Professor Work has made a long and thorough study of Negro music and is recognized as an authority in that direction. He was born in Nashville, under the shadows of Fisk university, and was educated in the public schools of his native town and at Fisk, from which institution he graduated with honors. Actuated by a further desire for education, he entered Harvard university. He afterward took a course of study at the University of Chicago, where he earned the degree of master of arts. He then returned to Fisk, his alma mater, and became an instructor. His superior knowledge gained at the eastern colleges stood him in good stead for valuable service at Fisk, and he was placed at the head of the Latin and history departments of the university several years ago, where he has since taught. As a teacher he has made good and has maintained the high standard for which the school is noted. He is one of the most popular instructors at the university and has become a fixture. Along with his academic duties he devotes much time to the study and development of music. He has written and spoken much on music and has made some very valuable contributions on the folk songs of the race. Professor Work is now writing a book on the history of Negro music. He devotes much space to the necessity of preserving the musical traditions of the race, which have been handed down in the folk songs. Some of the most prominent musical critics of the country often seek the opinion and advice of Mr. Work on matters pertaining to Negro music. While in New York recently Professor Work had several consultations with musical authorities on the Negro's contribution to music. He believes the race exemplifies many of its strongest qualities in its musical gifts. In the city of Nashville he is identified with many organizations having for their aim the betterment of the race. ANTI-LYNCHING SOCIETY WIELDS WIDE INFLUENCE. Work For Human Protection Receives Substantial Aid. Boston.—The work and influence of the Anti-Lynching society, composed of a large number of thrifty and intelligent colored women of this city and vicinity, are being felt for good in many sections of the country. Its growth has been substantial and its work thorough. Scarcely a lynching has taken place in any part of the United States without its deep concern for the punishment of the guilty perpetrators. The April public meeting of the society was held in Faneuil hall and was attended by many of the leading white and colored citizens of this community. Among the speakers were such well known men as the Hon. A. E. Pillibury, Bishop Alexander Walters of New York, Rev Dr. A. Mark Harris of Jersey City, N. J.; the Rev Herbert S. Johnson, Mr. Darius Cobb, the noted artist, and the Rev James Foster. That the women have the ear of the public in more than an ordinary sense may be seen from the fact that in their efforts to investigate the cause of lynchings in the various sections of the country they have often received substantial financial assistance from a distance. As an encouragement in this direction the Colored Women's Nonpartisan league of San Francisco sent $5.85 and the William Murray lodge, Knights of Pythias, donated $5 toward the expense of the meeting. The organization has reached the point where it has to constantly seek legal advice in order to do the most effective work of investigation, and it is hoped that our men of legal lore will consider it a privilege to co-operate with the officers of the society in giving the necessary advice. Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, president of the organization, has labored assiduously to bring the work up from an obscure position to its present place of influence and usefulness. She has had the support of the other officers and members who, like herself, labor constantly for the promotion of justice and respect for human rights. Justice W. R. Morris has lunched a boom for Justice Benj. J. Davis of Georgia as the next Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F. Smoke the Reliable 5c SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 5c HIGH POST FOR YOUNG LAWYER W. G. Mathews Appointed Assistant District Attorney. Selected by Attorney General Wickersham at the Suggestion of Influential Friends as the Successor of the Hon. William H. Lewis—Man of Known Legal Ability. Washington.—Another fine appointment has come to the race from the Taft administration and the department of justice, over which presides that sterling friend of the race, Attorney General Wickersham, to whom credit is due for the appointment of William C. Mathews as assistant district attorney for Boston, the position previously held by William H. Lewis before his elevation to assistant attorney general. Mr. Mathews is one of the best known young colored lawyers in Massachusetts. 1 BOK. WILLIAM C. MATHEWS. Like his predecessor, mr. Lewis, was a famous football player on both the Andover and Harvard teams and a famous baseball player on the teams of both colleges. For three years he was the crack brilliant shortstop on the All American college team. After his graduation from Tuskegee, where he was the valedictorian of his class, Mr. Mathews entered Andover college, in Massachusetts. So popular was he at Andover that for several years he was made captain of the team, a place never before or since held by a man of his race, and he was also one of the editors of the college paper." In the fall of 1901 he entered Harvard college, where he finished his law studies, and afterward was admitted to practice. He is a very popular member of the race in the old Bay State and a bright, capable lawyer. The matter of his appointment was taken up at the White House by his friends in this city, and Mr. Wickersham favored it at once. As soon as he was convinced that Mr. Mathews had the required legal ability he ordered the appointment made. The appointment of Mr. Mathews only confirms what President Taft has privately and publicly said—that when his administration was completed the Negro would have no reason to complain. This appointment totals three colored assistant district attorneys under this administration and one assistant attorney general. By reason of both the leading Republican candidates maintaining headquarters in this city it makes it a veritable political caldron. The friends and supporters of both Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt predict, as it were, a hand to hand contest for the nomination from now on until this particular phase of the situation is settled. Each candidate will be measured by what he has done for the benefit of the people as chief magistrate of the nation. In so far as the colored voters are concerned, the sentiment in many sections of the country is to the effect that careful consideration is being given to the merits and demerits of both candidates and that much will depend upon the actions of the national Republican convention to be held in Chicago in June as to the real lineup of the colored citizens throughout the country. On the other hand, it is said that a careful perusal of the records of the two candidates bearing on their public speeches on the race question, coupled with the recognition which the race has thus far received in a public way, is being made and that this will go far toward determining the final action of the colored citizens in this campaign. No quarter asked and none given seems to be the ipse dixit of the supporters of each candidate from on. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY No. 37. TITANIC AFTERMATH. Frederick Fleet, who was lookout on the crow's nest of the Titanic, told the senate investigating committee that on the night of the disaster some time after 10 o'clock he reported a black mass of ice ahead to the officers on the bridge. Just how long this was before the collision the lookout could not say. Fleet told the committee that there were no lookout glasses on the Titanic's crow's nest after leaving Southampton. If he had glasses, he said, he could have seen the iceberg enough sooner to have escaped it. Guglielmo Marconi, chairman of the Marconi company, limited, told the senate committee investigating the Titanic disaster that he authorized the wireless operators of the Carpathia and Titanic to sell the stories of the great catastrophe for publication. Mr. Marconi explained that in giving consent for the sale of these stories he had not attempted in any way to suppress information of the wreck. J. Bruce Ismay, head of the steamship line which owned the ill fated Titanic, was ordered away from one of the ship's lifeboats while it was being lowered, because, in his excitement, he was interfering with the ship's officers. Words too objectionable to be repeated aloud in the senate inquiry into the Titanic disaster was used by Harold G. Lowe, the fifth officer of the ship. When the White Star liner Olympic, sister ship of the ill fated Titanic, was ready to sail from Southapmton, Eng., for New York, 300 firemen and engine room workers quit the vessel, declaring that the collapsible boats on the Olympic ware unseaworthy. The Olympic is lying off Ryde, Isle of Wight, with 1,400 passengers aboard. Two steamers and a schooner were only a short distance away from the Titanic, according to the testimony of Captain James H. Moore of the steamship Mount Temple before the senate committee investigating the tragedy. Ice was the barrier that held back vessels hurrying to the rescue. The bodies of Colonel John Jacob Astor and Isidor Straus, the millionaire merchant of New York city, who lost their lives in the Titanic disaster, have been recovered. Two hundred and five bodies of the victims of the Titanic disaster have been picked up at sea by the cable steamer Mackay-Bennett and taken to Halifax, N. S. The Titanic funds, including those collected in the United States and Great Britain, now aggregate well over $1,500,000. WANTS LYNCHING STOPPED. Right Use of the Ballot Will Do It, Says Dr. W. A. Creditt. In an able article which appeared in a Philadelphia paper not long ago from the pen of the Rev. William A. Creditt, LL D., are found the following interesting and logical statements: "It is difficult to make us believe that our nation can exert influence to the advantage of the Hebrew in Russia and at the same time be unable to exert an influence upon the states where our people are lynched without trial, without judge, without jury, and portions of the charred, riddled, mutilated and dismembered bodies carried around as souvenirs. "The colored men in the section of the country where they have the right of franchise have a mighty power in the ballot. Let them, as the Hebrew, remember, no matter how high they themselves may develop, their development, opportunities and successes are only theirs in order to help their suffering brethren and they are connected by blood with the colored men who suffer in certain sections of our country. "If the Hebrews in America can succeed in having America protect the Hebrews in Russia, why may not the colored men of the north so use their political power as to cause the statesmen of this section to come bodily out in their utterances and say, 'Lynch law must go?' Dr. Credit is the successful pastor of the Cherry Memorial Baptist church in Philadelphia, Pa., president of the New England Baptist missionary convention, which includes ten states of the Union, Haiti and Nova Scotia within its jurisdiction. He is also president of the Industrial school at Downingtown, Pa. Employment Bureau of Y. M. C. A. The employment bureau of the Carlton Avenue Y. M. C. A. in Brooklyn has been in operation one year. It was started by Arthur L. Comither, one of the younger members of the association, for the purpose of assisting unemployed members and nonmembers in getting suitable employment. Mr. Comither, who has risen to the position of assistant secretary and head of the department, has made the following report: Number of applicants for positions, 298; applications from employers for help, 297; number of positions secured for applicants, men and boys, 151.

SENATE REFUSED TO RECALL IT NEWS OF Important Events In Condense POLITICAL Mercelless denuncia Taft was Colonel H made at Worcester, I ident's attack upon Colonel Roosevelt's Evident That It Will Not Be Eliminated So Long as the Republicans' Are In Control—Williams Came Near Having Immigration Bill Amended So as to Exclude Negroes. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, May 2. — [Special.] Again the senate has demonstrated that there is only one political divisional line in this country—Mason and Dixon's. By a strict party vote, with the exception of Borah of Idaho, the senate refused to recall what is known as the Bristow amendment to the resolution for the election of senators by direct vote of the people. Most people have forgotten that the Bristow amendment provides that the United States government shall retain control of the election of senators as it has at present and as it has over the election of members of the house. The Democrats voted solidly against that proposition, thus showing the old party division. It is evident that as long as the Republicans retain control of the senate they will not consent to eliminate the Bristow amendment. House Must Recede. It is evident that if there is to be any change in the constitution as proposed that the house will have to give up its contention and accept the Brisbow amendment. If senators are to be elected by direct vote it must be simply that change and nothing more. The fact is that there is very strong opposition to election of senators by direct vote. If there could be a secret vote on the proposition it would be defeated in the senate. Men on both sides have raised this old state rights bugaboo in order to cloud the question and defeat the amendment. Another Curious Issue. When the immigration bill was passed John Sharp Williams of Mississippi tried to have an amendment adopted providing for the exclusion of negroes as well as Chinese. It almost carried; but, strange to say, it was defeated with aid of northern Democratic votes. Men from Indiana, Ohio and Maine voted with the Republicans against the Williams amendment. Quite a number of Republicans voted for it, but it was defeated by a very narrow margin. It would have been interesting to see what would have been the result if all senators had been present. Only a little more than half of them voted on the question. Genuine Socialist From Germany. A member of the German rechstsch came to Washington, and the house took a recess for five minutes so that he might talk to the members. "He is one of 110 Socialist members of the German parliament," explained Victor Berger, the Socialist of Wisconsin, "and you will have an opportunity to hear a genuine Socialist from Germany." "We have that opportunity frequently now," dryly observed Jim Mam and Berger enjoyed the laugh as much as the others. Plain Talk. Congressman Akin does not talk very often in the house, but what he has to say generally proves interesting. "Bunk" is what he calls the literature and documents sent out by congressmen to their constituents. He said it on the floor of the house too. Akin has it in for the express companies. Replying to a question when he was talking about parcels post and the express companies, he said: "If I had my way it would not take me long to take my ram's horn and go down and blow their places out of business, and there would be a few blankety blanks along with it. Why, yes; I would do almost anything to those fellows. I would get at them with a meat ax. I would put them out of business if I had the opportunity." "Do you want a limited parcels post?" asked Fowler of Illinois. "Oh, no," replied Akin. "Do not give me any more lemons. I have had lemons enough." Wants More Coins. Congressman Bulkley of Ohio has introduced a bill providing for coins of three cents and one-half cent. He no doubt wants these coins issued, but it may be that he wants to give the committee on coinage, weights and measures something to do. This was a very important committee in the silver days, but it has had little to do since those times. Bailey's Nationality Senator Bailey of Texas was at first inclined to support the general arbitration treaties, but later became quite active in his opposition to them. "Joe," said John Sharp Williams, who favored the treaties, "the trouble with you is that you think you are Irish. Now, you are not a bit Irish. Your name implies that your people belong to those Normans who conquered England and afterward went over and oppressed Ireland to a greater extent than any other race that ever lived. The name 'Bailey' comes from 'balliff,' which was synonymous with oppression in those early days." Plain Talk. POLITICAL NEWS. Merciless denunciation of President Taft was Colonel Roosevelt's reply, made at Worcester, Mass., to the president's attack upon him. Some of Colonel Roosevelt's assertions were: That President Taft had not given the people of the country a "square deal," but that owing to a "quality of feeliness" he had "yielded to the bosses and the great privileged interests." That one part of the president's attack upon him was "the crookedest kind of a deal" and "deliberate misrepresentation." That the president "has not merely in thought, word and deed been disloyal to our past friendship, but has been disloyal to every canon of ordinary decency and fair dealing, such as should obtain ewen in dealing with a man's bitterest opponents." That the president's statement regarding the influence of federal officeholders in the campaign was "not only an untruth, but an absurd untruth." That Mr. Taft convicted himself of insincerity when he signed the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. President Taft donned his fighting clothes on his Massachusetts trip, abandoned his policy of silence under the attacks that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has made upon his administration and, for the first time since Mr. Roosevelt announced his candidacy, launched into a bitter denunciation of the former president. From the time Mr. Taft entered Massachusetts and made his first speech at Springfield until he left the state he hammered away at Colonel Roosevelt. In all his speeches he made it clear that he is unalterably opposed to Mr. Roosevelt; that he saw disaster in a third term in the White House for any man and that he did not believe Colonel Roosevelt had given him a "square deal." "The talk about the 'suppression of the report' is nonsense," said Colonel Roosevelt in a statement setting forth his connection with the International Harvester company case. The former president asserted that at a meeting with his cabinet, at which William H. Taft was present, it was decided that the bureau of corporations be instructed to complete its investigation of the harvester company before any suit was instituted, following the usual course of procedure in such cases. Mr. Taft, he added, concurred in this decision. That the Taft administration is now resolved to open its every gun on former President Roosevelt has been indicated by the unprecedented rapidity with which Attorney General Wickersham rushed to the senate the correspondence dealing with Mr. Roosevelt's failure to prosecute the harvest trust. Senator Johnson of Alabama got a resolution hurriedly passed and the correspondence, which Mr. Roosevelt's enemies thought would put him in a hole, was promptly received from the department of justice. President William H. Taft has issued a personal statement denying Colonel Roosevelt's allegation that he while secretary of war, had at a cabal meeting approved Mr. Roosevelt's decision not to immediately prosecute the International Harvester company. President Taft's statement says he never heard the International Harvester company discussed at any cabinet meeting and that the records of the war department will show that he was out of the country when the incident referred to by the colonel occurred. The New York Herald prints the following summary of the contest between Taft and Roosevelt for the Republican presidential nomination, including the result in New Hampshire: "Taft, 391; Roosevelt, 201; Cummins, 6; La Follette, 36; unclassified, 3. Delegates in Chicago convention, 1. 076; needed to nominate, 540. Needed to give Taft majority, 149; needed to give Roosevelt majority, 239. Delegates yet to be elected, 450." The Missouri Republican state convention was concluded at 6:30 o'clock in the morning, after an all night session, with the election of eight delegates at large to the national convention instructed for Roosevelt. Thomas K. Niedringhaus of St. Louis, a Roosevelt leader, was elected national committeeman from Missouri to succeed Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce and labor. Iowa Republicans, in their state and congressional conventions, threw the majority of their strength to President Taft, rejecting the "favorite son" candidacy of Senator Albert B. Cummins. Iowa has twenty-six delegates to the national convention, of which the president procured sixteen, including the four delegates at large, and the senator the remaining ten. The Colorado state Democratic convention adopted a resolution instructing Colorado's delegation to the national convention to support Champ Clark until such time as he no longer was a candidate or until released by him. The Republican state convention of Rhode Island elected ten delegates instructed to vote for President Taft at the Chicago national convention. New Hampshire Republicans have instructed their eight delegates to the Chicago convention for President Taft. Copyrights & Ac.

Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, is to operate a Summer School, this summer beginning June 10th, just after Commencement, and running six weeks, or until July 19th. The Industries, Manual Training, Pedagogy, Psychology and a Special Course in Instrumental and Public School Music will be given by a selected Faculty. Special lecturers like Dr. L. B. Moore, of Howard University and Prof. G. N. Grisham, of Kansas City, will be heard from time to time. The indications are that the attendance will be large from Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Nebraska, Iowa and adjoining states. The location of Western University is one surpassing beauty, and President Kealing proposes to look after the Social as well as the Scholastic features of the Session. National Negro Press Association. The next annual meeting of the National Negro Press association will be held in Chicago in August one day before the meeting of the National Negro Business league. As Chicago has a large number of papers published by members of the race it seems fit that every effort should be made on the part of the officials of the association to have a meeting of lasting benefit to members of the profession Franchise League to Hold Convention. The Afro-American Franchise Protective league, of which Mr. Isaac B. Atkinson is president, is planning to hold a big convention in St. Louis the first week in August. Large delegations from Indianapolis, Terre Haute and Evansville, Ind., are expected. Mr. Atkinson is being ably assisted in the work of the organization by Messrs. S. L. Drake and G. H. Walton. FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL Tap lines are not common carriers. That, in general effect, is the decision of the interstate commerce commission after an investigation of more than a year. The opinion in the case was rendered by Commissioner Harlan and was concurred by all members of the body. That it will result in extended litigation and eventually find its way to the United States supreme court seems a certainty. Pittsburgh financial circles were thrown into a turmoil of excitement by the local stock exchange announcing that Scully, Painter & Beach, considered one of the strongest brokerage firms in that city, had gone into bankruptcy. The amount of money involved will exceed $500,000. BE TRUE. In times of crises the demand is not for men of genius nor men of worldwide fame, but for those who are true. It is not necessary that we should succeed as the world counts success, but if we be worth the living it is absolutely essential that in all things we should be true. Be true to your ideals. Set them high. You will hardly rise above them. Let them lift you in spite of life's undercurrents. Keep your eyes up, your vision clear, your faith steady. Be true to your convictions. Only test them well. See if they will hold when the strain is heavy, the sky starless, your friends few. If they hold follow them.—Rev J. Wilbur Chapman. "HERE TO TRADE.

"Lest We Forget." Memorial Exercises in honor of the Fallen Heroes of the Negro Race" should be observed. The Star suggests that services be held on June 1, in our churches. This is a matter of vital importance. We have many relatives and friends among the departed, whose memory is dear to us, but there is one whose services to his country won for our race its highest honors. Shall we forget the American Negro Soldiers? A welcome to our visiting clergymen, who represent the highest types of the American Negro. Malone was not raging, but strong drink was. THE TITANIC DISASTER. Investigation of the cause of the terrible loss of life on the Titanic will do much good in the future, but the accident itself proved the vanity of assuming absolute safety by ocean travel, and more so the power of the Divine Creator. Ex-Mayor W. H. Eustis thinks that he can dictate to the Negro Voters of Hennepin County, through W. R. Morris, whom he has given the empty honor of an appointment on the Executive Committee. We leave Mr. Morris on his political record. The practice of such politics has not been profitable to the Negro citizens of Minneapolis. POLITICAL INACTIVITY. Our leaders stand by and see the "machine" pack the caucuses, and control primaries in Negro districts. They get the money to deliver the vote and use no effort to do so. If they did, the Negro districts of the 5th and 6th wards would have Negro representatives. Old Negro leaders do not believe in Young Men's Political Clubs. They fear their own undoing. The Negro is due some political representation as a matter of right, not as a matter of favor. Numerically we are strong enough to demand this. If we get together. WE ARE together and let us STAY TOGETHER. The Negroes of Hennepin County have secured little representation, except empty honors for an apparent leader. Prof. Kelly Miller in the "Political Capacity of the Negro," says that elimination of the Negro from office means his elimination from politics. The Negro should have a voice in the affairs governmental, both local and national, in proportion to the support he gives that government. READ THE STAR—IT'S NEWS. RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Colored Americans having been permitted to be disfranchised in the Southern States under Republican rule. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats upon the Supreme Court of the United States. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats in the Cabinet by President Taft. The declaration of President Taft that he would appoint no colored man to office who may be objectionable to the white people. Race discrimination permitted upon the railroads South, and the enactment of "Jim Crow" car laws. The removal of Southern colored office holders in the South from office and the appointment of Democrats and ex-Confederates in their stead. With such a record for the Republican party to go to the country on in 1912 to capture the colored vote will be bound to be effective. The colored voters throughout the country have opened their eyes, and between now and 1912 they will keep them open.-The Bee, Wash. D. C. The Editor of the Bee, W. Calvin Chase is a delegate to the Republican Convention. The record remains the same. What are you going to do about it? "Col. Bryan isn't building any political platform this year, but the other fellows are all using his material." PRACTICAL POLITICS OF LOCAL NEGRO DEMOCRATS. Do Anything to win, is Their Slogan. The Colored Democrats of St. Paul were just like the white followers of the "gang." They had no real issue upon which to base a campaign so they took to misrepresentation. In their anxiety to help the Democrats some one or more of the heavyweights dug up an old story against a colored policeman, whose record on the force was excellent, and caused it to be published in the Daily News in such manner as to bring public criticism upon and stir race hatred and prejudice against all Negroes. Such conduct reminds us of Judas. It seems to mean nothing to these people that the entire race must suffer so long as a few votes might possibly be made for Bremer. A well known St. Paul man was a passenger on Jackson's car at the time the charge was made against him and he knows that it grew out of the efforts of other men employed on that train who sought to hide their shameful conduct across the country with the woman. Did you notice the hope that the Democrats hold out to the Negroes? At a Colored Democratic meeting the white speakers handed our colored brothers, who think that the democratic party is the proper place for them, this choice bit of encouragement: "If Otto Bremer and the rest of us are elected, you'll find the same colored gentlemen with jobs repairing the asphalt streets that you find now." Great Scott! what a "slam"!! Our sympathy goes out to the men who would sacrifice their race through the columns of the public press for such a "mess of pottage" as a "job repairing the asphalt streets." But then, "a job on the asphalt" is worth everything in the world to some people. Its so warm to the feet—and most Negro Democrats have cold feet. The democrats have been in power in the City of St. Paul for practically forty years. About thirty years ago they appointed a Negro policeman and in all the years since then, though the population has grown by the thousands they declined to appoint any more. But during the two years of Mayor Keller's Republican Administration two others were appointed, and the three Negro officers stand at the head of the list in the discharge of their duty. Mr. Vernon Barkesdale was appointed to a position in the City Engineer's office by Mayor Keller and is giving satisfactory service there. But then, the police force and City Engineer's office are not like a "job repairing the asphalt paving." It's so refreshing in the warm summer days to inhale the pale blue smoke of burning maple, feel the hot flashes of flame from the portable furnaces, turn back your soiled undershirt and throw your manly chest to the winds in proud reflection upon the thought that your undying and race sacrificing loyalty to the Democratic party made it possible for you to be so pleasantly employed. A Re. Publican, St. Paul. How will the Negro be represented should Bremer win? Most Negroes are wise to the situation, and that's why they will vote for Keller. TWIP CITY STAR UNLIMITED LAWLESSNESS. The sentiment of the American public knows no bounds. They chose any time or place to perform any ceremonies which may appeal to their fads or fancies. — The lynching of Negroes by white men is prevalent, yet the lynching of white men by white men has proven that this lawlessness is not born of prejudice alone, but out of a custom practiced by these public executioners, who disregard the written laws of the land and hold justice as a mockery. A REAL NEWSPAPER. A newspaper isn't simply a bare chronicler of events. It is a personality. It comes into your house almost as a member of your family. What sort of a person do you like to have visit you? He ought to be honest, courageous, no hypocrite, and a gentleman, with a real interest in you, ready to lend a hand if you need help. Cheerfulness and good humor are excellent qualities, and a wide range of interests. What do you find in The Star? It has opinions, of course, and it speaks them out freely. They are its own and they are not influenced by outside interests. The square deal is its platform. In handling news it observes the decencies and amenities of life. It never wantonly brings shame or sorrow to any home. Its advertisements are clean. If the Twin City Star does not bring you something of interest in any particular issue, it has failed by so much that week. It takes of its hat and apologizes for having bored you as a visitor. But it trusts this doesn't often happen. Not often, does it? THE NEGRO'S DUTY. "What the Negro must do is to contend for his rights in the best spirit without losing his head and he will find the genuine white people the world over respecting them. First, let him respect himself and others will respect him."—(Charleston, S. C. Messenger.) RFAD THE STAR—IT'S NEWS.
