BY FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. Baltimore. — Plans for a big international organization to aid in the development of Liberian trade relations with this country and the resources of the little West African republic are under way. The projected body will be known as the Liberian-American Emigration and Colonization society, and its membership will include prominent people in Liberia, the United States, the West Indies, Central and South America. Headquarters will be maintained in this city. The contemplated body has the endorsement of prominent Liberians, who express themselves as being very desirous that Americans manifest a deeper interest in their country. The perfection of plans for the proposed organization will largely devolve upon Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general to the United States. He served seven years as American minister to the little West African republic, and there is probably not a man in America who has a better knowledge of Liberian needs and conditions than he. It was largely through his efforts and also through his initiative that an American commission was sent to Liberia in 1908. The findings of this commission, together with first hand information furnished by Dr. Lyon, awakened the interest and sympathy of the United States government, and as a result Liberia was enabled to borrow $1,700.00 and an American, Reed Pale Clark, was sent to Monrovia to collect sufficient customs to guarantee the interest and sinking fund on the loan. The trade of Liberia is with European nations, Germany enjoying a monopoly. This trade has been destroyed since the outbreak of the present European conflict. The loss of this trade, both import and export, has been distressing to the country. The banking interests there are controlled by Europeans, and one of the largest, hitherto controlled by English capital, recently passed into German control. Liberians are beginning to regard America as their friend, and this interest has been heightened since the recent visit to this country of Hon. John Lewis Morris, secretary of the treasury for the former country. In speaking of the proposed organization Consul General Lyon declared that it would mean the welding together of colored Americans and the people of that country and the beginning of deep foreign interests for the men and women of the race in this country. "Liberia needs our products," he said. "and especially so since the European war has stified its sources of imports and crippled its export trade. Liberia exports ivory, palm nuts, rubber, mahogany and other products that would find a ready market in the United States. A big international organization in which men and women of the race are interested could aid materially in bringing about the desired aim. "Liberia needs some of our strongest and most capable young men and women. It also needs the co-operation and sympathy of Americans. It affords a fine opportunity for colored Americans to take part in developing its trade and resources. "If colored Americans seize the opportunity as they should there would be no reason why vessels should not be running direct from New York, Baltimore or New Orleans to Liberia. The headquarters will be in Baltimore, where the movement for the establishment of that country began. Congress and the legislatures of Maryland and Virginia will be asked to make appropriations." Dr. Lyon has already received assurances from prominent persons that they would aid in any movement looking to closer financial and trade relations between the two countries.

Burrell Are Shaping Young Lives. East Orange, N. J.—The East Orange social settlement, though but a little over a year old, is one of the powers for good in Essex county. It is under the auspices of the ladies' guild of the Munn Avenue Presbyterian church of East Orange, N. J., of which the following ladies are the officers: Mrs. Geo. R. Howe, president; Mrs. Cyrus Hitchcock, secretary, and Mrs. Dr. Charles A. Groves, treasurer. For fifty years the Munn Avenue church has taken front rank in its uplift work for colored people all over the country. One lady of the guild has been especially untiring in her work for the settlement, Mrs. M. L. Cook. In April, 1913, the services of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Burrell of Virginia were secured, and through them the settlement was organized and placed in practical operation. The purposes as taken from the Settlement folder give a clear idea of the work of the settlement. It says: The East Orange social settlement is conducted for the betterment of the community life of the colored people of East Orange. Its purpose is to help people to help themselves, to extend a sympathetic hand to those who may, because of circumstances, feel downtrodden and oppressed, to hold open the door of hope to every worthy colored boy and girl and to reclaim those who are erring. The settlement house is a model of neatness and cleanliness, and in itself is a powerful object lesson to the many children who come within its portals daily and who are pleased to call it home. Habits of cleanliness, thrift and self respect are inculcated, and the children of the settlement are taught to be jealous of their good name. Each child who is enrolled becomes a part of the settlement family, and Mrs. Burrell becomes the "little mother," while Mr. Burrell is the "big brother" of every one. As no two children are alike in disposition and requirements, a careful study made of every child in order to find out how he or she may best be helped. Race pride is taught through the study of prominent examples of Negro manhood and womanhood. The children are taught that here is hope for them and that they will be rewarded according to their merit, in spite of their color. The model flat, or home, as it might better be called, shows that a home can be clean and healthy though humble, and that one does not have to sell himself to the installment man in order to be happy. The settlement teaches that it is better to watch the cost of high living than to be bothered about the so called high cost of living. Through its cooking classes it shows how one may live well and yet cheaply. The doctrine of self help underlies all the work of the settlement, and the children are taught to depend on themselves for success in all things. The settlement seeks to help not only the children, but the parents are also visited in their homes and timely suggestions made as to how they may make the most of life for themselves and their little ones. The sick are visited, the hungry are fed, the naked clothed and those in distress of any kind receive a helping hand. The influence of the settlement for good is recognized on all sides and the judge of the children's court of Essex county has commended children to its care and supervision. "I've a song."

SOLDIER MEETS TRAGIC DEATH KILLED BY MOTOR-CYCLISTS His death is cause of great Mourning.-His remarkable record as a Soldier never equalled. His life a tribute to the rising generation. When a great earthly potentate, or one distinguished for military prowess or remarkable civic ability crosses the bar and passes from the stage of action, the civilized world is speedily appraised of its loss. On Tuesday morning, Sept. 15, the announcement of the tragic death of the late Col. Allensworth was flashed over the trembling electric wires that California's black warrior and statesman was removed from the arena of earthly life. A gloom was cast over the City of Activity such as has never been witnessed before; among the members of the colored colony. People gathered in groups on the streets and the general places of business and in whispered conversation, or stairing at each other in blank amazement which made last Tuesday a day of gloom in Bakersfield boys of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry, the "Fighting Black Regiment" to which Colonel Allensworth was attacked for many years. Men, women and children, who knew him in his life wept as they repeated the tragic story "Colonel Allensworth is dead" the doleful heart-rending statement that was heard from many a lip at first was unbelievable. Notwithstanding it was true. "The Citizen's" phone as well as many other telephone throughout the city were busy telling the news of his death. In the tragic death of Colonel Allensworth, who was stricken down last Sunday morning in the little town of Monrovia on south Myrtle avenue by William Ray and D. S. White, two speeding motorcyclists that were riding a tandem at a fast clip struck him down, breaking both legs, one arm, and fractured his skull in two places, he also suffered internal injuries. He was rushed to the Haben hospital, where the best surgeons attended him, while the "Old Warrior" put up a game fight for life. His advanced age was too much for the shock and at 10 o'clock Monday evening he breathed his last and the news was whispered that the hero of two wars had crossed the bar. Colonel Allensworth was appointed chaplain with the rank of captain by President Grover Cleveland in 1886, while pastor of the Union Baptist church in Cincinnati, Ohio. Was commissioned and assigned to the famous Black Regiment the 24th U. S. Infantry, where he served with credit to himself and honor to the race. On his reaching the age limit he was retired with the rank of Lt. Colonel for gallantry displayed in the army during the Civil War, which was the highest rank in the army to which a Negro officer had ever attained, and he bore the distinction with becoming dignity. On leaving the active service Colonel Allensworth was not contented to sit quiet and rest on the laurels of his past achievements, but he set about to establish a prosperous Negro colony, which was later named in his honor, "Allensworth," and is located on the main line of the Santa Fe railroad, and is a model Negro settlement, which was the pride of his life. Some days before his tragic death while sitting in the sanctum of "The Citizen" he discussed with the writer plans for giving to the colony the widest publicity that would be the means of attracting thousands of settlers. The grand old hero seemed inspired; his words seem to grip us until we jotted down this personal mentioning of his visit which appeared on last Saturday in these columns which many will recall. "Col. Allen Allensworth was a welcome visitor to our sanctum last Saturday. It was quite an inspiration to sit and chat with this distinguished race man, the hero of two wars, whose life has been that of uplifting his fellows and removing prejudice and bring about those pleasant relations between the two races. "The Citizen" welcomes at any time such useful and eminent citizens to our city as their lives fire the ambition of the younger men to greater endeavor. Come again Colonel glad to have you." Little did we dream that we were having our last earthly chat, as we write this article we have not learned as to the funeral arrangements; his remains being in Los Angeles; but in the next issue a minute account of the funeral will be given in detail. As Colonel Allensworth had just completed the history of his life and had promised the writer a copy who was a personal friend dating back to the time of our enlistment in the army, it may be of interest to millions of Negro Baptists and to many of the members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry to note what has been since said of his remarkable book. "The Battles and Victories of Allen Allenworth," lieutenant colonel, United States army, retired, is the title of the new book. Like a bold, clear voice out of a wilderness of conflicting and confusing discussion comes this new volume relating the story of one of the most unique characters in American history. It is doubtful whether anything finer is exhibited in our literature than the heroic life and noble endeavors of Allen Allenworth. Handicapped from the start in the awful mire of slavery, but possessing a self consciousness of the difficulties before him, even at an early age, he strove to live blamelessly before his peers and to carve out a destiny for himself that should reflect credit upon his race. —The Bakersfield Citizen. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY. Institution Receives $1,000 by Will of Late Leopold H. Green. Wilberforce, O.—The outlook for a successful school year at the Wilberforce university the coming term with an increase in the number of students is very encouraging. The majority of the faculty is already at the university, and applications of prospective students continue to come in. The buildings, dormitories and classrooms are neat and attractive. The recent gift of $1,000 by will of Mr. Leopold H. Green has heightened interest in the institution among its many friends throughout the country. The gift of Mr. Green also emphasizes in no small degree the importance of our higher institutions of learning and the necessity of providing them with sufficient funds to insure the best equipment and keep alive the aspirations of our ambitions youth. The note accompanying the Leopold H. Green bequest contains the following statement: And I also give, devise and bequeath unto the trustees of Wilberforce university of the African M. E. church, located at Wilberforce, Greene county, O., one thousand ($1,000) dollars, to be devoted to scholarships in aid of such meritorious students as the faculty may from time to time send scholarships to be designated the Leopold H. Green scholarships. PAUL G. BURNS. Clerk of the Probate Court. Some Facts About the Origin of a Noted School In Ohio. One of the leading magazines of the country, printed in Boston, speaking of Wilberforce university says: "The auditor of the state of Ohio announces that a monthly article will be issued describing the activities of the various departments and institutions of Ohio. The one for July is devoted to Wilberforce university and deals with the progress that has been made in Ohio in the education of the colored race. "The first move to furnish a seminary of learning for the colored race in Ohio originated with Daniel A Payne, a self educated Negro of Charleston, S.C. As a result of his efforts Union seminary, near Columbus, was organized in 1844. That Payne was one of the great benefactors of his race and had rare foresight is shown by the fact that the school was started on the manual training plan. "Union seminary by reason of location and other circumstances made slow growth, but it was the pioneer and contributed largely to the founding of Wilberforce university and was finally, in 1863, consolidated with the latter institution. While there are numerous small colleges, there are only about a half dozen great universities in America for the higher education of the Negro race—Atlanta university, Fisk, at Nashville; Howard, at Washington; Shaw, at Raleigh; Leland, at New Orleans, and Wilberforce, at Xenia—and Wilberforce stands at the head of the list." SUBSORIBE FOR THE STAR. DR. WASHINGTON IN NEW JERSEY TRAVELS THROUGHOUT STATE Prominent State Officials, Business and Professional Men Co-operate in Making the Tour of Lasting Benefit to the Public—Washington Delivers Message of Hope to Both Races. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Encouraged by the success of the recent session of the National Negro Business league held in Muskogee, Okla, Dr. Booker T. Washington delivered a series of thrilling messages to both races on his tour of New Jersey for four days, beginning Monday, Sept. 7. The tour was made on the invitation of several prominent men of our race in New Jersey and further supplemented by prominent white people in the towns visited. The schedule was arranged by Messrs. James N. Vandervall and W. P. Burrell of East Orange, chairman and secretary respectively, who had the hearty co-operation of a citizens' committee of 400, including the indorsement of Governor James F. Fielder. The party which accompanied Dr. Washington on the trip was made up of the following named persons: James N. Vandervall, East Orange, chairman; W. P. Burrell, East Orange, executive secretary; Major Robert R. Moton, Hampton, Va.; James H. Anderson, New York; W. H. Cralghead, Harrisburg, Pa.; Bishop George W. Clinton, Charlotte, N. C.; Dr. Richard R. Wright, Philadelphia; N. B. Dodson, Brooklyn; Rev. A. A. Graham, Phoebus, Va.; Rev. A. A. Collins, Newark, N. J.; Nathan Hunt, secretary to Dr. Washington, and Dr. George W. Cabinss of Washington. The start was made at Hoboken, and the first stop was at Morristown. The party was met by the following named committee of citizens: Bracy, L. L. Taylor, J. H. Tanner, Rev. J. P. Sampson, Rev. S. S. Crockett, J. H. Gregory, W. E. Perry, W. N. Watson, W. W. Grant and Junius Mason. After a brief sightseeing trip in automobiles to the various historic points of interest in Morristown, which included George Washington's headquarters during the famous battle of Morristown in the Revolutionary war, the party went to Wyanoke hall, where Dr. Washington made his first speech of the tour to a most enthusiastic audience. From Morristown the Washington party was taken to Montclair in automobiles. 'The exercises were held in the auditorium of the Hillside grammar school. The Rev. J. C. Love presided, and the music was furnished by an orchestra and a chorus of schoolgirls, who sang "The Star Spangled Banner." The address of welcome was delivered by Mayor E. C. Hinck. Dr. Washington was introduced by the Rev. F. H. Butler. Dr. Washington delivered a telling speech and received a great ovation. The Citizens' Union committee of Montclair consisted of Messrs. W. R. E. Griggsby. W. E. Tyler, Rev. O. F. Vick, John Christopher, Burr Lee, Mrs. W. S. Rice, W. H Foster, Mrs. A. G. Wyatt, J. E. Peterson. W. S. Rice, F. L. Epps and Mrs. William Horace. At the conclusion of the exercises Dr. Washington and his guests were served luncheon at the Union Baptist church by a committee of ladies. After luncheon the Montclair committee escorted the tourists in automobiles to Paterson, where a banquet was served at the catering establishment of S. G. Walker. Mayor Hink of Montclair took Dr. Washington to Paterson in his private car. The literary exercises were held in the high school and auditorium, with Dr. Norman T. Cotton presiding. Mayor Robert T. Fordyce was scheduled to introduce Dr. Washington, but was detained en route to the city by a delay of a train on the Erie railroad. The mayor arrived, however, before the meeting closed and extended the visitors a hearty welcome. The Paterson committee conveyed the Washington party in automobiles to Newark, where about 1,500 persons heard Dr. Washington deliver an address fraught with encouragement and good advice. The Rev.

No. 49 [Name] INFLUENCE OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION WIDELY FELT. Militant Organization Continues Campaign Against Unjust Legislation. Louisville, Ky.—The colored people of this city are aroused over the segregation ordinance recently passed and are taking steps to protect their interests. Mr. Chapin Brinsmade, the attorney for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, has been here giving the matter the closest study. On July 5 the local branch of the national association held a great meeting of protest, at which Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National association, and Professor William Pickens of Talladega college were the chief speakers. This is the association which investigated segregation in government departments at Washington, and largely through its efforts that undemocratic movement was checked. In Baltimore, through its local branch, it has twice won segregation cases, the last time before the supreme court of the state. It is now preparing to carry a case brought under the new ordinance in Baltimore to the supreme court of the United States. In Kansas City, where the homes of the colored people were dynamited in order to make them move from a desirable neighborhood, which they owned and had developed and improved, they were unable to obtain redress from city or state authorities until the National association intervened. The association stands for equality of opportunity, equality in the courts, the civil and political rights of the colored man. Its membership includes white and colored. It is not sectional, having branches as far south as Alabama and Texas and numbering among its members representative southern white people. Its board of directors includes some of the most representative people of both races—Miss Jane Addams, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, Miss Mary White Ovington, Miss Florence Kelley, Dr. John Haynes Holmes, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, Dr. J. E. Spinning and many others. Dr. Spingarn was for ten years professor of comparative literature in Columbia university. He is internationally known as a scholar, author and critic. His book of verse, "The New Hesperides," has received high praise, numbering among its admirers the late John Hay, who wrote of it in terms of flattering appreciation. Professor William Pickens is known as a teacher and lecturer. He is an orator of remarkable eloquence. He graduated from Yale with high honors, having been elected commencement speaker. More Stock Raisers Needed. In his address before the National Negro Business league at Muskogee Dr. Washington emphasized the importance of stock raising among Negroes, and deplored the fact that in several states there was a sorry minimum of Negro stock and poultry raisers. However, many will be surprised to learn that engaged in the animal husbandry there are 10,296 men and women of the race. Texas Has Another Weekly Newspaper. The Texas Sun, a new weekly paper, has made its appearance at Terrell, Tex. Until Messrs. Slaughter and Polk began the publication of the Sun there was no paper in east Texas published by Afro-Americans. We wish the new paper long life and its promoters a successful career in their efforts to advance the cause of our people in the Lone Star State.

Lawrence was pledging his support. Mrs. M. W. Withers said "I think it depends on the young men and women of our race as to just what kind of citizens we make, and anything that will not be for the elimination or the exclusion from other institutions is a thing to be looked, after. Rev. Withers' spoke of former efforts to establish a Y. M. C. A. referred to such institutions in other cities, and believed it would be a grand thing for the people. I think that our Heavenly Father has so ordained that we be together as the fish in schools, the cattle in herds, the sheep in droves, and we should have a place for our young men. Mr. Wiley, Sec'y of the Y. M. C. A., of Minneapolis was asked to speak. Mr. Wiley's Address. I do not think that we need feel badly because of small beginnings. It will take time, work and money to develop this organization. It must rest upon a religious foundation. Institutions that are getting results are based on religious moves. You should have a Bible class as a beginning. It is fundamental and it will THE EMPRESS OF MELODY.

Come and Hear the "Bronze Tetrazzini" "An Artist of Merit" "Nature's Goddess of Soul Expression." have to be carried through by the people who love Jesus Christ in their hearts. All must be together. There are too many factions among your people. If this is to succeed, all the people of your race, who are interested in moral uplift will have to get together, or it will not succeed. It cannot be a clique. People who are profiting by evil cannot be expected to co-operate with you. You should be thoroughly cosmopolitan, get among the people. It cannot be a combative movement, but a competitive one. The work of the Y. M. C. A. is not a vice crusade, but a religious program along intelligent, physical, educational and moral lines. To secure a building is probably impractible, and it is folly to expect that it will come away and to hold that out as an immediate accomplishment is dangerous. There is danger in enthusiasm to overcome evil that you start out fighting. You must be a competitor. Let others do the fighting. Do not attempt superficial work, things that attract attention should be excluded. You can do more by practical religion. You can keep more policeman in each bosom than by placing a dozen outside the door. He advocated a social program, and deplored the loss of time by many white boys who spend their time around pool rooms and their lack of ambition. Mr. Wiley was questioned particularly about "The Building" and "Raising Money." He said "You have buildings, you need organization, you need young men." You can get slides, etc. for pictures from Health Department, Public Library and Y. M. C. A. to give lectures all free. You can meet from place to place." He told them of the great struggle before them, and advised them to hold a meeting and get a more popular representation, proper call had not been made. It was decided to meet Sunday afternoon at Bethesda Baptist Church. We publish the foregoing remarks of Secy. Wiley because of his special interest taken in this club. But he is unfortunate. His time is of more value. Mr. Wiley was expected to grant those "collection franchises" that were wanted, and when he told them the truth, their disappointment was pitable. It is too bad that such promoters can't value a busy man's time. However, we respect the attempt of Mr. Wiley to instruct many of our moral leaders and they should follow his teachings and practice them. MISS SHOWELL ARRIVES HOME Miss Viola M. Showell has just returned home from an extended visit in the East. She reports having spent a very delightful time with relations and friends of Pittsburg, Pa., Willington, Del., and New York. Miss Showell was gone nearly four months, leaving home May 8, arriving first in Chicago where she attended the wedding of Miss Virginia Lee, as her bridesmaid, and remaining the guest of Mrs. Fanny Lee for one month, leaving there in June for Pittsburg, Pa., the guest of her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. A.

Smith, the tailor, has moved to 421 University Ave., St. Paul. Clifford is a successful business man. He moves with the crowd and keeps up with the times. To Whom It May Concern: I have been often questioned at to my stand in the mayorality campaign, because many of my friends believe that I have a personal feeling against Mayor Nye. When he became Mayor he asked me to resign my position on the police force for the good of the service, as there was much pressure brought to bear to force this issue. Mr. Nye has treated me well personally, and I have many friends in the police department which I made while there, who are still true to me. I believe that the administration of Mr. Nye is for the best interest of all the people of the city. I shall support him and do what I can to re-elect him. Signed Chas. Hamilton, Ex. Lieut detective force. DR. WASHINGTON IN NEW IERSEY. Cont. from page 1, col. 6. Wynn, pastor of the Bethany Baptist church, in which the meeting was held, was chairman of the Newark reception committee, under whose auspices a grand banquet was held at the close of the exercises. The tourists remained overnight in Newark as guests of the local committee and left early the next morning over the Pennsylvania railroad for Princeton, where the literary exercises were held in the First Presbyterian church, adjoining Princeton university. The Rev. S. W. Beach presided at the meeting in Princeton and Dr. Washington was introduced by Dr. J. E. Proctor. A chorus of young misses from the Witherpoon public school sang several selections of a patriotic nature, which received hearty applause. The party lunched at the parish house of the Witherpoon Presbyterian church, Rev. G. S. Stark pastor, and continued the journey by rail to the Bristol ferry, crossed the Delaware river to Burlington, where exercises were held in the city auditorium. Mayor E. E. Mount delivered the speech of welcome, introducing Dr. Washington to an audience which showed great interest in the speaker and the occasion. From Burlington, the Washington party was taken to Camden in automobiles and thence by rail to Bridgeton. Dinner was served by a committee of ladies at the John Wesley Methodist church. The literary exercises were held in the Criterion theater, Mayor Joseph G. Whitaker presiding. Music was furnished by the Criterion theater orchestra. Dr. Washington was introduced by Professor J. J. Younger, county superintendent of schools. In his highly polished yet practical address Dr. Washington paid a high tribute to the achievements of his race and thanked the white citizens of Bridgeton for making it possible to hold such a splendid meeting in Bridgeton and expressed his pleasure at the fine co-operation which existed between the white and colored people of the town. The Washington party stayed overnight in Bridgeton and left Wednesday morning by auto for Gouldtown, where breakfast was served by a committee of fifty-two at the parsonage of the Gouldtown A. M. E. church, of which the Rev. J. H. Robinson is pastor. After breakfast Dr. Washington delivered a short address and hastened on to Millville, from which the party went by rail to Ocean City. A banquet was served at the Hotel Comfort, and the exercises were held in the First Methodist Episcopal church, Rev. Dr. J. B. Haynes, pastor. From Ocean City the party was taken in automobiles to the Hotel Dale, Cape May, where dinner was served. After dinner all repaired to the Casino on the beach, where the public exercises were conducted. The Rev. P. F. Matthews introduced Attorney Isaac Nutter of Atlantic City, who in turn introduced Dr. Washington. At the conclusion of Dr. Washington's speech a banquet was served at the Hotel Dale, where speeches were made by Mayor W. M. Cassidy and other city officials, including the superintendent of public schools. Thursday morning Sept. 10, the Washington party left Cape May for Salem via Millville where they were met by United States District Attorney the Hon. J. Warren Davis and other prominent white and colored citizens and taken to Salem in automobiles. At Salem the party rested for a short time at the home of Mr. D. C. Anderson. After dinner the literary exercises were conducted at the Benjamin Bee park. United States District Attorney J. Warren Davis introduced Dr. Washington after a brief address by the Hon. E. C. Waddington, judge of the court of common pleas. The Salem meeting was a fitting climax to the four days' tour. The white people were in the majority in making the arrangements for the meeting at Salem, and they entertained Dr. Washington and his guest in royal style. Dr. Washington's speeches throughout the tour were seasoned with common sense and delivered with great earnestness. He was warmly received in every town and wildly cheered by enthusiastic audiences, composed of people of both races. The advice given and the impression which he made upon the public will be of lasting good to all who heard his words of wisdom and good cheer. We need a good hustling agent.

MAKING HEADWAY IN SUNNY SOUTH Success of Afro-Americans in San Antonio, Tex. Local Business League Sets the Peace For Co-operation and Concentration of Forces In Lone Star State Metropolis—Great Advance In Education and Religious Culture. By RALPH W. TYLER. San Antonio, Tex.-One is struck with astonishment at the sight of two colored policemen patrolling the principal business street in this city. A colored policeman, even in the northern cities, because of his scarcity attracts attention, but to find one in a Texas city causes astonishment. But this is not the only thing colored which causes astonishment when one has made a tour over and through San Antonio. Church edifices, school buildings, business blocks and pretty homes possessed by colored citizens here incite one to marvel at progress being made by the race in this city. San Antonio has more good homes occupied by colored people than any other city in the country. Shacks which one frequently sees in many cities occupied by the poorer class of the race are almost unknown here, and because of Dr. J. T. Walton, one of the most successful colored builders in the country, having erected nearly 400 homes here for his race, these modern homes, whether pretentious residences or modest, well appointed cottages, displace the insatiary and uninhabitable shacks. Many of these—nearly 400—homes built by Dr. Walton he sold after completion to members of his race; others he has rented to them so reasonably as to make it possible for every member of his race who must rent to live in a neat, modern home. This city has a colored population of 15,000, practically one-third of the city's total population. There is a decided Mexican air about San Antonio, the descendants of the Aztecs being numerous in this city, which was thoroughly Mexican before the United States annexed Texas. The relation, however, existing between whites and blacks and between blacks and Mexicans is perfectly cordial and mutually helpful, friction being reduced to such a low minimum it is hardly observable. The colored man down here is aspiring to economic independence, and this is shown by the number of business establishments now in existence. There are two drug stores, both of which are fine and well conducted establishments; a steam laundry, life insurance company, real estate, plumbing, poultry farming, automobile trucking, printing, undertaking, tailoring, contracting and groceries are a few of the business activities in which men of the race are engaged in this city and in which they have invested a considerable amount of capital. The local Negro Business league here, of which Dr. Waiton is president, is a strong factor in inducing members of the race to engage in business and to patronize those already in business. There are four public schools for colored children, and they are among the best school buildings I have seen provided for colored pupils in the south. The colored teachers here receive the same salary as white teachers for the same grade of work, and this, being so unusual in the south, is another fact to excite astonishment and approval in San Antonio. There are nineteen colored churches here—eight Baptist, four M. E., two A. M. E., two Catholic, one Episcopal and two Church of God. There are thirty-two colored teachers, ten physicians, two lawyers and three dentists, one of whom is a woman. Dr. Walton, who has done so much for his race in this city, was a practicing physician up to within six or seven years ago. Seeing the need of decent homes for his race here, he began building homes on a small scale, being his own architect and contractor. The demand for modern homes increasing, he gave up the practice of medicine, a profession in which he was a great success, and turned his attention to business. Although possessed of a fine competency, culture and youth, Dr. Walton has been so busy building homes for his race he has never stopped to contemplate building a home for himself. It is estimated that the colored people of this city control $350,000 worth of real estate and that they have $150,000 invested in business enterprises, such as enumerated in this letter. A fine U. B. F. temple, with an auditorium and office rooms above and storerooms on the ground floor, was recently completed, of which W. Sidney Pittman was the architect and Wyndom Brothers of Birmingham, Ala., the contractors. It is a fine building, thoroughly modern and one to which the race can point with pride. Among the men of the race here who co-operate with Dr. Walton in an effort to improve both the business, educational and civic condition of the race are: H. C. Chlids, Dr. William Drake, H. D. Parker, John A. Grumbles, F. E. Lewis, Emanuel Madison, G. W. Bouldin, J. O. Robinson, Professor S. J. Sutton and Messra. Blackson. TWIN CITY STAR SEGREGATION PROTEST. Colored People in Convention at New York Urge Widespread Organiza- tion of the Race ZEALOUS B Success of Dr. W Carr Washington (Boston Globe, Sept. 10, 1914) New York, Sept. 9, 1914—It was 12:30 a. m. this morning when the last speaker at the second night mass meeting concluded at the National Independent Political League in Bethel M. E. church. William Monroe Trotter of Boston, secretary of the league, concluded his report on the audience the organization had with President Wilson last winter, protesting against segregation of Colored Government clerks and held aloft a letter from a Colored editor in Minnesota to start the fund to send another delegation to see the President before election. The mass meeting followed morning and afternoon sessions, which were executive with 80 delegates enrolled from a dozen northern states and one each from Va., Ga. and Louisiana. Prof. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the executive board of the National Association for the advancement of Colored people, composed of both white and Colored, strongly urged the organization by Colored people for Colored people under Colored leadership, to regain freedom and equality. Other speakers were Rev. M. A. N. Shaw of Boston and Rev. J. E. Churchman of New Jersey. Tonight the final mass meeting was held. The speakers included: Rev. B. W. Arnett, New York; Rev. G. F. Miller, Brooklyn; William D. Brigham of Boston; Hon. J. C. Manning of Alabama; Thomas Walker of Washington. Newly Elected Officers. Newly Elected Officers President, Dr. Byron Gunner, Hillburn, N.

Mrs. Arthur Dodge, the President of the National Anti-Suffrage Association, has of late been criticising the suffragists for raising money to carry on their work, especially for making the "Melting Pot" appeal for old gold and silver, to help win the western campaign. Mrs. Dodge pronounces the suffragists selfish, and other "antis" have urged that in these dreadful war times, the suffragists should devote themselves exclusively to Red Cross work, whereupon Dr. Shaw inquired with interest as to whether the anti-suffragists were planning to close their own Headquarters, stop publishing their "Protest" and call back their speakers from the Campaign States. But at last accounts, the anti-workers were still in the field. In Idaho, the Chief Justice and all the justices of the State Supreme court have signed a published statement saying: Doman suffrage has gained much in popularity since its adoption in 1896. None of the evils predicted have come to pass. There have been no anti-suffragists in the State until very recently. One man has been found who gives a horrible account of woman suffrage in that State and the anti-suffragists are quoting him far and wide with great gusto. But this man is strictly anonymous. It will be idle for anyone to write anonymous letters claiming that equal suffrage works disasters so long as it continues to spread steadily from State to State. Grand Master Edward H. Morris was re-elected at the B. M. C. in Boston. He has abolished the Supreme of the Odd Fellows composed of Ben. J. Davis of Atlanta, W. M. Houston, Washington, Harry S. Cummings, Baltimore, W. R. Morris, Minneapolis and W. T. Francis, St. Paul. It is the opinion of many that the present Grand Master will hold office for life. ZEALOUS BAPTIST LEADER. Success of Dr. W. H. Jernagin at Mount Carmel Church. Washington—The Baptist denomination in this city is represented by many able, well educated and progressive ministers. The duration of their services as pastor of their congregations extends in some instances over a period of twelve, fifteen, twenty-five and thirty-five years. The church edifices in the main are well kept and have modern improvements. Financially they are in splendid condition, being liberally sustained by the free will contributions of the members and congregation. The Mount Carmel Baptist church was fortunate enough about two years ago to secure the services of the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., who has greatly helped the church forward along all lines of its aspirations and progress. Under Dr. Jernagin's able leadership the congregation purchased the church edifice in which President Wilson worshiped when he became a resident of Washington and until the property was sold to the Mount Carmel congregation in February, 1914. As a pastor and church financier Dr. Jernagin has been highly successful. He is well and favorably known by the [Name] REV. W. H. JERNAGIN, D. D. Baptists in the southwest, and since he became the pastor of the Mount Carmel church his good work and influence have been widely felt. He believes in giving the young people of his church a chance to use their time and talent in all the activities of the church, and thus they are trained in the doctrine and discipline of the church of their faith. Dr. Jernagain spent most of his recent vacation traveling. Leaving Washington Aug. 2 he spent four days in Pittsburgh, attending the interstate conference of grand chapters of the Order of Eastern Star of the United States, of which he is interstate royal patron. As leader of that great organization he is planning with Mrs. Austin of Tampa, Fla., interstate royal matron, to bring about uniformity in the ritualistic work of the Order of Eastern Star and get all the grand chapters of the United States interested in the next biennial meeting. From Pittsburgh he went to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. His next stop was at Toronto, Canada, where he visited a number of institutions and points of interest. From Toronto he went to Kingston and the Thousand islands; thence to Montreal, passing through the great Cedar rapids and other places of interest. After spending some time in visiting the great churches and institutions in Montreal he continued his journey to Quebec, the quaint old historic city. There he visited many historic places. Short stops were also made in Richmond and Sheerwood. On his return to the United States he spent some time in Springfield, Mass., and New York city, where he visited the leading institutions. Dr. Jernagin returned home in time for the annual meeting of the National Baptist convention, which was held in Convention hall, Philadelphia, from Sept. 9 to 14 inclusive. He is doing a great work in Washington and takes an active part in all good movements for the advancement of our people. He is especially loyal to and outspoken in matters relating to the civil and political rights of the race as vouchsafed by the federal constitution to all citizens of this republic. Attorney F. B. Ranson Wins Case. The recent trip of Attorney F. B. Ranson of Indianapolis, Ind., to Jackson, Miss., whither he went to secure the release of a young colored man from prison, aroused much attention among the friends of his client, who is the son of a widow. Mr. Ranson was successful in his efforts, and the young man in question was parled by the authorities. The crime charged was for the murder of a white man, presumably in self defense. Mme. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis contributed the money with which to defray the expense of the trial of the young man. New Weekly Paper In Orange, N. J. In Orange, N. J., where in the past no weekly paper published by a member of the race has been known to live for any considerable length of time. J. W. Mottley is making a success publishing the New Jersey Advocate. Mr. Mottley comes from the West Indies. He is very energetic, likes newspaper work and is building up a large circulation for the Advocate in the Oranges and other sections of New Jersey. He has already applied for admission into the National Negro Press association. ```markdown ``` NOW is the best time for you to star GOOD MERCHANDISE AT ABSOL WE OFFER SPECIAL INDUCEME YOUNG FOLKS GOING HOU TAKE SPECIAL PAIR time for you to start your home, to pick out DISE AT ABSOLUTELY FAIR PRICES SCIAL INDUCEMENTS TO LKS GOING HOUSEKEEPING and KE SPECIAL PAINS TO PLEASE THEM NOW is the best time for you to start your home, to pick out GOOD MERCHANDISE AT ABSOLUTELY FAIR PRICES WE OFFER SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS TO FORTY YEARS of making COZY HOMES for the people of Minneapolis and the Northwest is the REASON why we ask you to let us START you out RIGHT.

He has advocated equal privileges tc all persons regardless of creed or color, He has accorded to Negroes the same privileges of amusement and recreation as granted to other nation alities.
