VOL.XXX NO 37 Race Progress NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS AS REPORTED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Another Negro bank has flung open its doors for business. It is "The Safety Banking and Realty Company" of Mobile, Alabama. The first day's deposits (January 8th) amounted to $1,890,91. The bank has an authorized capital of $50,000 with $26,045 paid in. Its president is Henry N. Newsome; cashier, James R. Knox; manager of the Real Estate Department, Wm. J. Robinson; stenographer, Miss Sarah J. Duncan. The bank will do business in its own quarters, a three-story brick building, 256 St. Michael Street, which the directors recently purchased. Marion, Alabama, although a small town, is fortunate in having quite a number of thrifty, industrious and well-to-do business men and farmers. Some of those who are worthy of mention are Messrs. S. Daniel, Gilbert Jones, Charles Smiley, J. H. Key and Gus. Mitchell who are principally in the grocery business, carrying stock any where from $500 to $2,000. The leading merchants, however, are the Childs Bros., who are not only the proprietors of one of the largest groceries in the place, located on the main street in their own building, but they are also confectioners and own the only bakery in town. Twenty-five or thirty years ago their father started the latter business, and the sons have continued it ever since, without any competition. They likewise run a truck patch, of two acres, from which they sold $500 worth of plants last spring and $500 worth of cabbage this fall besides other garden products. Some of the other frugal and well-to-do farmers are Messrs. Edward Wedgeworth, Summit Anderson, Edward Towns and Orange Benson, who manage from 100 to 150 acres yearly. H. B. Davis is the proprietor of a cafe for whites. It is very popular and well patronized. He has been in the business for over thirty years and has made money at it. John Williams is a large brick manufacturer, having years of experience, by means of which he has prospered. Wm. M. Alston has been for over fourteen years instructor in the Mechanical Department of the Orphan Home for white children, located at Oxford, N. C. The Home is the Home is the property of the Grand Lodge of white Masons of the State The Legislature usually appropriates $10,000 for its maintenance annually. There are about 335 pupils of both sexes in the orphanage — 125 of whom are boys. Mr. Alston teaches the latter how to make sash, doors, blinds, and build stairways. He is the only colored person employed therein such a capacity. More than once, efforts have been made to displace him for a white man; but on account of his services being so satisfactory, the authorities of the institution have persistently refused to need the entreaties of the petitioners, or to be influenced by the demands of the prejudiced. The Silk Manufacturing Company of Rock Mount, N. C., incorporated with an authorized capital of $50,-000, began business, November 15, 1909. It is the only Negro manufactory in the world on so extensive a plan of operation. The work is done in a four-story wooden building with a frontage of 40 feet and a depth of 150. On the first floor is the silk factory; the second and third, cotton; on the fourth, there is an evolution of the raw material into the finished products, such as overalls, jackets, aprons and the like. The operatives in this factory are two or three hundred boys and girls whose ages range from 10 to 15 years, together with a goodly number of young women. The officers of the company are, T. W. Thurston, president; O. J. Pittman, vice president; C. F. Rich, secretary and attorney, S. M. Young, treasurer; F. W. Davis, president of the Board. The president and founder, T. W. Thurston, was once manager of the silk mills now in successful operation at Fayetteville and Kinston, N. C., in which there are from 600 to 700 little colored boys and girls skillfully and carefully manipulating the delicate skeins of silk, as they spin around the thousands of bobbins and pass over hundreds of looms. The owners of these mills are Northern white men of New Jersey, but they are run entirely by colored help. The silk and cotton mill of Rocky Mount, however, is altogether owned and operated by Negroes. R. L. Kearney of Greenville, N. C., is another member of the race, who has demonstrated the fact, that the Negro can do things like other people. He is the inventor of a patented improvement in plows. It is a boltless combination plow. The work of three plows is accomplished in one. A cotton plow with double front points and shares or wings, sweep and half sweeps of various shapes and sizes, best adapting them to all stages of growing crops. It has also a complete set of castings which constitute it a turning plow with three sizes of wings, the smallest making it suitable for breaking very hard or rough land. All parts are changeable. The position of handles and beam may be changed to suit the requirement. Only one stock, beam and handles are required, and upon these may be fitted any shape or size castings to meet the demands of the work at hand. DEATH OF ED. BROCKEN- BOUGH Life has its happiness, gayeties and pleasures—death, its sorrow, sadness mourning. Mr. Edwin Brockenbough, son of Mrs. Elizabeth and the late Detective Brockenbough, was buried last Sunday from the family residence on 9th street. Mr. Brockenbough was well known among the social set of this city, coming from one of the most prominent families. After graduating from the high school and attending Howard University, for a while, he enlisted in the army, and served in the Ninth Calvary, where he made quite a record, having been stenographer in the Quarter Master's Department while in the Philipine Islands. On account of the severe heat there his health commenced failing. He had been sick for a long while, but was confined to his bed only two weeks. So his death was quite a shock to his friends. While in Chicago Mr. Brockenbough married a charming young widow from Texas, who was devoted to him. He will be missed by his many friends, and associates who were devoted to him. "In winter's cold day we are passing away." PROHIBITION PASTOR FOUND GUILTY Ottawa, Kan., Jan. 8.—Rev. William Stucky, the ex-minister of Williamsburg, who has been on trial here, charged with abducting Lorena Sutherland, a member of his congregation, sixteen years of age, was found guilty today. Stuckey was convicted on both charges—that of abducting the girl girl for his own immoral purposes, and of abducting her for "white slave" purposes. The penalty is from one to five years on each count. Stuckey, besides being pastor of a church at Williamsburg, was also editor of a prohibition newspaper. Lorena Sutherland worked upon it, and was a member of his congregation. They were arrested at Waukegan, Ill., where they were found living together, last summer. They also had lived in Chicago. The Tuskegee Negro Farmers' Conference which convenes next Wednesday, will be attended by the best farmers from many sections of the South. Mr. Rakestraw expects ten thousand delegates. A big, old fashion barbecue will be given the farmers in the new one hundred and fifty thousand dollar dining hall on the Normal school campus. Garden seeds and important literature are to be handed out free. WASHINGTON SATURDAY JANUARY 22, 1914 P. C. Thorne COMMISSION CUNE H. RUDOLPH One of the New Commissioners of BALTIMORE, MD. BALTIMORE, MD. NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT —DEMOCRATS DESPERATE— $40,000 GIVEN TO COLORED INSTITUTIONS — MISS CUMMINGS MARRIED — MINISTER LYONS IN TOWN Baltimore, Md., Jan. 19.—William L. Marbury, a Democratic attorney of this city, is out with a bold proposition to disfranchise the colored voters of this State as such. He states that it is his belief that the Fifteenth Amendment was never legally adopted. Dr. Lyons Returned Ernest Lyons, United States Minister to Liberia, who returned a few days ago from Tuskegee Institute, where he, Dr. Booker T. Washington and Bishop I. B. Scott had a conference regarding the educational records of Liberia, states that a normal and industrial school modelled on Tukegee lines will be established in Liberia. "The establishment of such a school," says Minister Lyon, "under the guidance of Tuskegee Institute will be unestimable benefit to the Liberians." Minister Lyon, who is in this country on a furlough, is now awaiting instructions from the Department of State regarding the attitude of this government toward Liberia. The Board of State Aid and Charities has recommended that $40,000 be given by the Legislature to various colored charitable institutions during the next two years. This includes $3,000 for Provident Hospital in this city. Miss Estella Cummings, a sister of City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, and Mr. Joseph C. Fennell were married at Metropolitan M. E. Church last Wednesday night. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings is recovering from an attack of neuralgia. BLUE LODGES Now that the masters of the several lodges have assumed the reins of government in the lodges, and that they may be well informed as to their several duties and be made familiar with the general law governing the craft, and get the true interpretation so as to be informed in all their works, I will suggest that they come together and recognize the Masters' Association, organized and maintained while Bro. L. G. Fletcher and O. E. McNeal were living and which done such good work to help the masters of the lodges by having the grand lecturer meet with them and explain the law to them; they could meet at different homes once or twice a week. For a man may be a good ritualist but be ignorant as to the Masonic law, and it is the law that the mas- Liberia Grateful MARYLAND COUNTY MEETING Resolutions Passed by the Citizens of Maryland County in the Republic of Liberia (Nov. 8) (From the African League) Whereas, the people of Liberia, at the called session of the Legislature advance fifteen (15) strong propositions to the American Government through their Commissioners sent out to investigate the condition of affairs in this country; and Whereas, the sentiments expressed by the leading papers of the U. S. of America show that the popular feeling of the American people is in favor of the American Government doing all it can for Liberia; therefore Resolved: 1. That the people of Maryland County most earnestly request the National Legislature to endorse all things coming from the United States Government in keeping with the aforesaid propositions. Resolved 2. That the citizens in the various counties of the Republic are most urgently requested to have their meetings and to signify their Ex-President G. W. Gibson, chairman of the Liberian Commission to America in 1908—the Commission that called forth the paternal care of the United States towards Liberia, and has the whole country looking expectantly to that great country for relief, at present.

PLENTY TO DRINK IN SOUTH Prohibition Effective Only for Negroes, Says Reverend Haywood New York, Jan. 9.—Preaching on "The Failure of Prohibition," the Rev. Oscar Haywood gave his impressions of prohibition in the South: "I saw no signs on a recent tour," said Doctor Haywood, "that drunkenness is diminishing, except among the Negroes. I did not see a drunken Negro, but little evidences of drinking among them. I should say that, under Southern prohibition, drink is the white man's vice. "The law is doing what it was intended to do—protecting the Negro; but it is administered by those who claim the right to violate it." Doctor Haywood paid tribute to the motives behind the prohibition movement in the South. It looked to social reformation, he said, and was marked by many instances of noble, voluntary renunciation. THEY SAY Register Vernon sleeps soundly. That Oliver Randolph has a pleasant smile that won't come off. That Bill Mayes knows a thing or two. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Miss Gonevia B. Maxfield It is said the battle ship Uttal, 521 feet long, 88 feet deep, is the largest warship in the American Navy. Mr. R. Nichols, owns 600 acres of fine farming lands, operates 11 horse farm and looks after the interest of 13 families who cultivate his soil. He is said to be the most prosperous colored citizen of Chattooga County, North Ga. Governor Haskell has appointed a colored woman, Miss Minnie A Tumley, Notary Public at Muscogee, Okla. The first colored woman to begin regular practice in dentistry was Gertrude E. Curtis of Bradford, Pa., who graduated from the Philadelphia Dental School with high honors. The first concrete pier on the Pacific Coast, has been completed recently. Extending in a straight line 1,600 feet out into the Pacific Ocean, this is the latest example in wharf construction at Santa Monica, and is said to be the largest in the world. When the United States formally occupied Porto Rico, which consists of 10 islands, only about 15 per cent. of the people could read and write. Now, the per centage has increased to between 25 and 30, and about 1,700 public schools. The United States used last year, four thousand cords of wood in the manufacture of paper. The increase has been doubled in ten years. It is said the French Government has purchased another one of Tanner's pictures for its national galleries. It will be remembered that Henry Ossawa Tanner, is a colored American by birth. It is said a letter has been sent to President Taft by Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair, President, and N. F. Moss, secretary of the Constitutional League, relative to "Jim Crowism." in the navy. Mrs. Julia Hanley, who died the last Monday in Cincinnati, Ohio, at the age of 111 years, was a slave on the Beecher plantation, and was brought to Cincinnati by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe from which it is said the famous author obtained much of her material for "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Dr. John Shannon, pastor of the Metropolitan Memorial M. E. Church, said: "There is now one divorce to every twelve marriages in the United States. The divorce rate is increasing to such an extent that our country leads in the ratio of divorces to marriages. We abhor the polygamy of Mohammedan, Syria, but we have to recognize the fact that there is a progressive polygamy practice today in certain portions of American society. It is said that Arthur E. C. Middleton, who has been selected by President Taft as judge of the Police Court to succeed Judge Kimball, is well qualified for the position, and will make one of the best judges Washington has ever had, as he is an accomplished lawyer and in every respect qualified to discharge his duties. Jack Johnson, the champion heavy weight, applied for a telephone for his home, and was given number, Douglas 1313. His friends are much disturbed that he should have accepted the number on account of the omen connected with it. Insanity is increasing in New York State at the rate of 1,000 persons a year, said Miss Mary Clark, in addressing the State Charities Aid Association of which she is secretary. In October 1, 1909, there were 30,489 insane patients in fifteen hospitals. For the first time in the history, the United States Government is to officially recognize the birthday of Gen. Robert E.

MEIGARTN BROE.,. irs. 377-379 BRGABWAY, NEW YORK PEARY'S BIRTHPLACE Explorer First Saw Light of Day ( Near Cresson, Pa. Love of Sea and Adventure an Inhér- Ited Tralt—Ambitious to Find Pole Ever Since He Was Young Naval Officer. Johnstown, Pa.—The movement from Maine to Cambria county, in the fifties, which brought to this district: the prominent Barker and other familes, also made it possible for Cresson, nearly the highest point in the county, to claim the honor of having been the birthplace of Licut, Robert Edmund Peary, most daring and most per- sistent Arctic explorer of modern times and claimant for the title of Discoverer of the Pole. Tho father of Peary was not bothered about polar discovery. The building of “shook shops” and the manufacture and ship. | ment of shook and staves to maay distant points was his life work, Maine afforded ample opportunity for the lumber industry with its vast tim- ber aereage, but for some reason the elder Poary thought Cambria county, Pa, also a virgin wooded land, better sulted for his purpose,’so he located at a point now generally admitted to be on the outskirts of Cresson. Peary’s naval career sheds an inter- esting light on the question of in- herited traits and predilections. The elder Peary, an Englishman, trans. planted to Maine, came from forbears who loved the sen. For some reason he did not share this fondness for the bounding wave and deliberately left the shore line for a life far in the {n- terior, away from even inland lakes. But after his father’s death Robert ‘HB. Peary, then a little boy, was taken back to Maine by his mother, and as a result of his life on the coast and his edueation the youngster instinctively went back to the life of his ancestors. ‘The whaling industry from New Eng: J _Jt nA peg House Supposed to Be on Bite of 5 ‘ e 2 . es a al -_ ee es ee eee ee ee ee et ’ ae == — oe: =I- —— Gy2v eS oe ee | rit, SSS es dim, 2 P -e- co: = Laps = eS ee =p ee = ar ele SS Fee ————— tle rs rit. 2 x 8: 4 2 ¢ > (ppt oF ee —i a Se ee ye peas] EF = Te Ls *_¢ |, | _¢|.« See ee oe eee ee ee a eee el . = = os = : See . tempo. - a , = _——— x z e ae Saas a= pepo pe * so : x = 1-2 +o, | ee a |= e—1 —— See 57 te |e he ee SS = ~— we a | | rrr | dim, 9% 5] oF .0_|____¢—_| __¢__}__-3-_ ae aa Sy ——— ee = sete Se pe | 5-1 Ns Fett =. = ie - - - \ 4 Spanish Serenade, 2 pp—z2d p. 7 ‘ Peary's Birtnptace and to Include Part of the Old Home. land ports, the coming and going of clipper ships, laden with Maine lum- ber and many other products, by sug. gestion and appeal aroused in the youth love of the sea and its adven. tures. Leut, Peary’s distinct ambi. tion to discover the pole {s known to have been born in him as a result of the Greeley expedition and its rellot. He was then a young officer in the navy, a8 were a number of those prominent in the work of exploration E that time, and hence the glory which now shines upon the water arm of Uncle Sam's military service by reflection. It is strange how soon we are for. gotten. People who knew | Lieut. Peary’s father are not now certain of jhis Christian name. Charles H. Peary of Chest Springs, a cousin of tee explorer and who spells his name Perry, calls the Neutenant’s father {Charles Peary. Ex-Judge A. V. Bark er of Ebensburg. is certain his name was George. It has been suggested that perhaps his name was George ,Charles Peary. However that may be, Mr, and Mrs, Peary on coming Inte }this county located in the woods neat what Is now Cresson, where Peary established a shook Bhop. A house standing on the turn of the road from !Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards jfrom the town, !s now generally ac cepted by the people of the county as occupying part of the site of the orig. inal Peary home, and 1g sald to actu: ally Include a fragment of the old building. It was in that house that Robert B. Peary was born, and there, two or ithree years later, his father died. | Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living in Munster township, recalls Peary's ,birth clearly and tells a story of the ‘elder Peary sending a messenger in a conveyance to a point some distance lawey to fetch a physician. “Kill the horse if you have to,” Mr. Peary ts al- leged to have said to the driver, “but leat the doctor here in a hurry.” And it’s another reminiscence of O'Hara that the elder Peary, who died at Gal. Utizin, was buried amid a bitzzard, “That was like the north pole itself,” says the aged Munster man. Peary was buried at Cape Eltzabeth, Me. The only basis for the claim that Peary was born at Chest Springs ts the residenca there of his cousin. Charles H. Poary’s father, James Peary, came from Maine about the same time as George Peary did, but linstead of locating at Cresson, settled at Chest Springs and there his chil. dren have resided ever since, George Peary, fortunately, teft enough of an estate to make it possi. bie for Mrs. Peary to educate her son thoroughly and he finally found his way to the Naval academy, LED Rap Mi each tows = _ ries ang Ghaertcs =) i “a buyele furnished b Dh cent ee a Sie coeres Wrete fr full frvtculorsond pardepcainen pee an XO 380: BPQULN ED uml you recesre ind s.oroxe of your ticyele | We ship a et Speriag seers, Fa tho Bg ree a cent chee 1 adr ance, pregsy frearat, and wv I alow DAYS?

Rome.—European ballot box stuffers, who are as expert as any of Boss Tweed's henchmen ever were in the palmiest days of corruption in New York politics, soon will find their occupation gone. An Italian civil engineer, Signor Gogiano, has invented a voting machine which, it is claimed, is absolutely ungetatable" and incorruptible. He calls this invention the psephograph. So complete and satf- EMERGENCY BETTER THAN COSTARDS INDEX YOTAND New Voting Machine. factory has this machine proved that it had been adopted by both the Italian and the French governments. The psephograph is a little over a yard in height and is provided with as many openings as there are candidates in the field. The voter presents his card to an official who has charge of the voting booth and receives a small metal chip about the size of an American dime. He is then given permission to enter the booth and steps behind two screens which render him invisible to both the public and the overseers alike. There he finds the voting machine facing him. After carefully scanning the different slots, above which is a space containing the names of the candidates, he selects the one he wishes to vote for and drops his chip in the slot corresponding to it. The fall of the chip causes an interior lever to rise, this movement making the number of persons voting appear on a little tablet on the outside, which is always visible, and in the interior registering the vote for the chosen candidate. When the voting is over the officer in charge lifts aside the metal covering on which is registered the number of persons voting and the number of votes obtained by each candidate is revealed. By this system 27,000 votes were cast in two hours at a recent election at Turin. GETS A GOLDEN CROWN Miss Mabel Boardman Honored by Italy for Alding Victims of the Earthquake. Boston.—The Marquis de Montagliari, Italian charge d'affairs at Washington; has remitted to Miss Mabel Boardman of Manchester, Mass., and Washington, a golden crown, the gift of the Italian government in recognition of her services as a member of A. Miss Boardman. the American Red Cross society to the victims of the recent Italian earthquake. The crown, a reproduction of the ancient Roman civic crown, is composed of oak leaves and acorns, made of solid gold. It is inclosed in a typical Roman box of leather, which is adorned by the royal coat-of-arms in gold. On the crown is engraved: "To Miss Mabel Boardman of the Red Cross, from the Italian Government, as a Token of Gratitude, 1908-1909." Miss Boardman, as the executive head of the Red Cross society, recently announced her intention to devote her life entirely to its interests. She is the sister-in-law of Senator Crane and was a member of the famous Taft Philippine party. While visiting Japan she saw the evidence of the work of the Red Cross in the Russo-Japanese war and was impressed with the boundless possibilities of the movement. She is an intimate friend of both President and Mrs. Taft. She Won't Waste the Rope. Give a woman plenty of rope and she will hang—her washing on it. Mme.

C WORTH ADVER TISING FOR There are 5,499 Negroes employed here in Washington by the Government alone, and these 5,499 Negroes draw salaries aggregating $3,044,404. These more than three millions of dollars are spent right here in Washington, but scattered among the hundreds of tradesmen. Is this amount of money worth building for? It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are really spending. Now The Bee is the only Negro publication in this city. It stands without a rival or competitor, and covers the field like a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising columns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of dollars — will assume that by patronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of those over three millions of dollars received and spent by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business will now make an effort to divers to themselves these over three millions of dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Bee? Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these 5,499 approxi- tive Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with you. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper that goes into every Negro home in Washington. Remember, merchants of Washington, it's what advertising pays you, not what it costs.

A local contemporary said a few days ago, in his paper that he would make war on the saloons and the liquor traffic in this city. This individual by hard struggle gets out his publi- cation. The editors are employed un- der thé government and were it, not for there government jobs, undoubtedly their publications would die a natural death. This same publication declared that it would not publish an advertise- ment of a saloon. If its readers will carefully read the columns of this publication they will see one whiskey advertisement for which the editors were given five dollars and notwithstanding the expiration of the time for which the advertisement was to run, it continues in this publication. - Some few years ago a colored organization started out to close up all dry goods and shoe stores and apartment houses that refuse to employ colored salesmen and women. The white houses could ‘not be coaxed in giving employ- ment to colored girls and boys so it died a natural death. Then a shoe store was started by a col- ored man who had been formerly employed in Holmes store as a porter and quasi salesman. Ap- peals were made to the colored people to purchase shoes from this man because he was a color- ed man, -but all without avail. This colored firm did not sell shoes enough to pay rent, Some colored people can do more idle talk than any other nationality in this country. They have been talking so long in this-city until they have almost talked them- selves out of their homes.and it will-only be a question of time, before they talk themselves out of the control of their public schools. There is something radically wrong some where, Th* Bee is preparing a history of the colored schools in this city, show- ing their defects and why they fail and what now is neéded to make them succeed. There is too “much idle talk among colored people in this city. If they start an enterprise, they will get tired before they finish it and abandon the job. If you place some of them in positions of honor and trust they talk themselves out be- fore the expiration of their term. This is a great place for inviting new orators to make speeches. The people go wild over a new man. He can get anything from the natives and almost do any- thing. A man with a back record is less talked about in this city than a new man with no record at all. There are talkers on the sham order who have more influ- ence over the people than any other class of individuals. Talk- ative shams control the social circle. ~ a | HON. CUNO H. RUDOLPH When President Taft nominat- ed Hon. Cuno H. Rudolph and General John A. Johnson Com- missioners of the District of Co- lumbia to succeed Messrs. West and Macfarland, he carefully considered the fitness of the two men. Mr. Rudolph is beyond all doubt one of the cleanest and best known men in this city, Mr. Johnson is equally as well known as Mr. Rudolph. Both men have great executive ability and The Beé is confident that thty will run our local government upon strict business basis. Mr. Rudolph, of course, is better known to the people of Wash- ington than General Johnson. He has mingled among them. He knows their likes and their dis- likes, and as well as their wants. The Bee is confident that they both new Commissioners will give all the people a square deal. There is no reason that the color- ed citizens wso pay taxes on over ten million dollars morth of property should not have repre- sentative places in our local gov- ernment. The Bee believes that the new Commissioners will see the colored Americans in this city in a different light in which. they have heretofore been observed or seen. The Bee believes that the ninety thousand colored citizens of Washington will be treated as citizens. There is no reason or excuse to ignore the claims of ninety thousand colored citizens. Just think of it. There are only four colored clerks employed in our local government, to wit: Messrs. David Warner, Montague, Langton and Cheek. There is a young,man employed in the Water Department by the riame of Alexander Lewis, as a mes- senger and who knows more about that department than his chief. He is fully competent and yet no Engineer Commissioner has seen fit to promote him. The Bee will Idok for better treat- ment of colored men from the two new commissioners. The Bee is of the opinion that color- ed citizens will be recognized as citizens. The Bee is of the opin- ion that both Mr. Rudolph, and General Johnson will see that all prejudice and discrimination against colored Americans be en- tirely eliminated. Both of these gentlemen will please accept the sincere con- gratulations of the colored citi- zens of Washington and’ The Bee with the hope that they will re- ceive recognition at their hands. KNOCKERS colored man iS mot the only knocker in the United States. Well, there are as many knock- ers among white people as there are among the colored. The The Bee finds the small white man doing dirty work as it finds the small colored man. If the knocker is not nominated for the, particular job that he is anxious| to get he will knock his more successful competitor. Presi- dent Taft had a merry time with the knockers when he was select- ing the two District Commission- ers to succeed Messrs. West and Macfarland. The President has the*same trouble with the new Judge of the Police Court. The knockers are saying all kinds of things about him. The fight on Mr. Middleton by the friends of Judge ‘Kimball will not help their candidates. The’ President has determined to appoint a suc- cessor to Judge Kimball and whether Mr. Middleton is ‘or is not confirmed a new, man will be judge of the Police Court. A man to be judge of the Po- lice Court should be a broad guaged individual like Mr. Mid- dleton. The knockers have told the President that Mr. Middleton has never practiced law. A man can be a lawyer without being on a dress parade before the court all the time. Washington ‘must be the most crooked city in the United States because straight men from the stand point of the knockers are hard to find. JUDGE MIDDLETON | The appointment of Judge Middleton of the Police Court to succeed Judge I. G. Kimball meets with universal approval. ‘The policy of Judge Middleton ‘will not be to fill the jail and work house with minor offend- ersnor will he impose fines to in- ieee the revenue of the Dis- trict treasury. Judge Middleton ‘is a humanitarian. He believes ‘in the probationary principle. The Bee has never thought it right or just to convict an indi- ea because he has made one mistake in life. The record of Judge Middleton is of such a character that will warrant his speedy confirmation by the Sen- ate. There is no reason that he should not be confirmed at once. The Attorney General has found a man of his own temperment. He has selected a man who is firm in his convictions :as well as just to all classes regardless of color or conditions, The Bee knows Judge Middle- ton to be a man learned in law as well as a man who has a heart. This is the kind of a man Judge Middleton is and the kind of a man who should be judge of the Police Court. PROF. JOHN T. LAYTON Washington’s Greatest Musician. fRUP.

No rec- cords for whites alone were kept until 1905. During that year the white male teachers received an average salary of $42.21. In’ 1908, this had been increased to $52.29.

The musical depart- ment of the colored schdols have never been in a better condition than it is today. Prof. Layton is a man who takes interest in his work and there is no doubt that chorus of onc thousand voices in every branch of music would be a great acquisition to the Exposition. The Bee has the most implicit confidence in the abili- ty of Prof. Layton to give the American people one of the great- est musical renditions that has ever taken place in this country among colored Ameriéans, ed that both sides unite for the bet- terment of the organization. i _ There is no organization in this country any stronger than the Elks and it is quite evident that Attorney Patterson will use his persuasive power and legal ability to bring peace out of war. the news flashed over the city that Mr. Abraham Lincoln Harvey had died at his home in Defrees street. Mr. Harvey was a brother of Mr. Payntor Harvey one of the oldest and highly respected citizens of Washington. Mr, Harvey had been sick only a few weeks, He contract- ed ‘a heavy cold and which forced him to his bed in which place he re- mained until his death. Mr. Henry Wwas the young man who handed his trowel to Ex-President Roosevelt the Sunday the Y, M. C. A. building was dedicated. The funeral took place from his residence in Defrees street two Sundays ago. The ceremonies were impressive and the testimony of young Harvey made a lasting im- pression on those who heard it. Mr. James H. Dabney was the funeral director, Mrs. James H. Dabney, the well known embalmer and funeral direc- tor is at het home quite sick. It ‘is hoped by her friends that she will be able to be out soon. IT IS KNOWN é That a few municipal Court judge candidates have been disappointed. That Judge Strider will be con- firmed. That Judge Middleton has been ap- pointed judge of the Police Court. § That Ralph W. Tyler is a great journalist. That Dr. Booker T.

This token was received with a pro- fusion of thanks by Lady Smith. Hardly had Hon. Lady Smith fin- ished her remarks, when she was again called: before the altar when Hon. Lady Marion E. Smith of Queen Esther arose and stated, in behalf of the members of Electa Chapter and other chapters, she de- sired to present to Honored Lady Smith a slight token of their love and esteem, and called upon Sir Kt. W. G. Smith to make the presenta- tion of a beautiful silver gold lined nut comport, stating that nothing) could give him more pleasure then that on this occasion, He was act- ing in behalf of those who had recognized and. appreciated the work done by Hon.

FIRST OFFERING This is of importance to YOU and and every Negro in the land! WASHINGTON IS THE SEAT OF OUR NATION'S GOVERNMENT. The eyes of the world are on Washington,. One-third of Washington's population is Negro. If all the Negroes in Washington were colonized in one place they would make a city larger than Richmond, Virginia. There are seven theatres in Washington, supported by a white population of 241,923 and a few foolish Negroes willing to be colonized in the galleries, the only place to which the Negro is admitted. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRSTCLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of Washington, where a colored professional or business man or woman, and there are hundreds of them in the National Capital, can obtain business quarters. JUST THINK OF IT! 100,000 enterprising, thrifty, intelligent people, through race prejudice, swept completely out of the business district of Washington; 100,000 genteel, prosperous, amusement loving people deprived of every form of theatrical entertainment unless willing to submit to the most humiliating conditions. Every colored man and woman IN Washington. Every colored man and woman VISITING Washington. Every colored man and woman in America, familiar with the true state of the Negro in Washington, realizes that a theatre, store, and office building, operated by the Negroes, for the Negroes, is A NECESSITY. The welfare of the race demands it. The self-respect of the race demands it. Any enterprise resting its hope of success upon a NECESSITY is bound to be a SUCCESS. A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECESSITY. Appreciating to the utmost that fact— THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central Business District of the city of Washington a magnificent theatre, seating capacity 2,500, and a store and office building of splendid proportion, adequate in every respect to meet the requirements of prosperous professional and business men. The enterprise is exceptional in two respects: First—It is absolutely safe. Second—It promises enormous possibilities as a money maker. Features that must appeal to every man or woman with a few dollars to invest, and you are such a man or woman or you would not have read this far. THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY has surveyed the field carefully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants are available for the offices, that dozens of merchants are ready to rent the stores, and that 100,000 people are anxious to patronize the theatre exclusively, and make it the best 3 ```markdown ``` Building Co.

ADVISORY BOARD CLAMATION ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO. Not one dollar of white capital will be accepted in exchange for its securities. There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock, consequently there is no watered stock. Every holder of stock from the President down must pay at LEAST $10.00 per share for every share of stock allotted to him. This does not mean that the price of stock will REMAIN at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Lizenda Memorial Building Company's stock go to several times its present value. This means that a share of stock costing $10.00 NOW will be worth $40.00 when stock goes to four times par. Estimates show that the Company's earnings will be 20 per cent, and that is four times par, with every dollar invested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. This does not mean that the price of stock will remain at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated, pays 20 per cent, a $10.00 share of stock will be worth $40.00. If it pays 40 per cent, a single share of $10.00 stock will be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allotment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present opportunity to get in as completely on the ground floor as any one of the Company's Directors are. The Company's Directors, by the way, are men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY. Their names are at the top of this page. They have unbounded faith in the future of the Company. They have invested THEIR hard earned money in it, and they advise you to invest YOUR money side by side with them. DCN'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. The price of stock is $10.00 per share, payable $1.00 down and $1.00 per month for nine months upon each share subscribed for. Before you lay this paper down cut out the coupon on the lefthand corner of this page and mail to-day, with remittance for first payment, if for but one share of stock.

He !s Founder of the Royal English Soclety Devoted to Rescuing the Drowning—Easy When You | Know How, He Says. London.—Remarkable progress in the art of saving life from drowning has been made both in Europe and America since the foundation 18 years ee af the English Royal Life Saving society which first organiztd this serv- ce to humanity. William Henry, the |founder of this famous fouls left England recently on a missionary visit to the United States and Canada. After visiting Montreal, Quebec, Otta- wa, Kingston and other Canadian cities, he will give lectures and illus. trations of life saving In Buffalo,"New York and other places in the United States. Mr, Henry is one of those enthus!- asts whose zeal Js infectious. Being in the happy position of financtlal inde pendence, he devotes most of his time to his hobby—life saving—and under his direction the socfety has grown from a small body in 1891, when it was founded, to embrace more than 60( afflllated associations and clubs, num bering over 180,000 members, \ The governing authorities of schools | cotteges and universities in Englant all have come under his sway,. He bas visited nearly all the continental coun tries and has established societies {1 Italy, Germany, Sweden, Franco ant Finland. His methods of life saving are being taught in the Australlar commonwealth, New Zealand, Indfa ie COR \ j Bs r iN UK | | baa YS \ r ~ C7 Ys ie of 4, Nee J SNR bY Yi Y VE \ BH a ‘Willlam Henry, Champion Life Saver, Who Is Coming to America. Malta, Egypt, the West Indies and South America; and now he Is off to the schools, colleges and cities of the North American continedit In search of converts and recruits. As a switimer Mr. Henry is famous not only throughout the United Aing- dom but alsé all over the continent of Europe. He was long-distance cham- pion of England in 1899, salt water champion in 1899, and won the life- saving competition at the Olympic games in Parls in 1900. Besides these he hes taken part in numerous inter- national competitions, winning prizes in Austria, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany, Holland, Italy and Sweden, until today he is the possessor of more than 600 trophies won fn swim. ming and life-saving contests. Every school in England which has a swimming club attached to it teaches life-saving as part of the curriculum. Examinations are held by the society and certificates granted, and the great Progress made may be judged from the increase in the number of certifi ates awarded since these practical ex: aminations were instituted, “My object in going to America,” said Mr. Henry just before leaving London, “is to try and stimulate the heads of schools and colleges there te take up life saving and have It taught just as they teach the children tc read. The importance of a knowledge of the beat method to rescuscitate ar apparently drowned person ought tc be clear to everybody. “People get drowned in Americ: just as they do in England; but bun dreds of Ives would be saved if would be pescuers only knew how to go te work.

Paris.—The probability that the Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue in the world, will always be preserved a3 an artistic promenade and a chil- dren's paradise has been strengthened by action just taken by the municipal ‘council of Paris. The council not only refused to grant a permit for the construction of a Philharmonic palace on the site of the now defunct sum mer circus, but voted to investigate concessions previously granted, look- ing to the removal of some of the music halls and restaurants now flour Ishing there. ‘This official action is in keeping with the true Parisian spirit. The one occasion on which the Frenchman looses his pursestrings without a mur- mur is when an expenditure for mu- nicipal embellishment is proposed. No other city watches over the beauty of its boulevards and parks with such Jealous care. Succeeding municipal administrations differ widely on all other points, but, whether the govern- ment is nationalist or socialist, itz first alm is Invariably to maintain In- tact the artistic inheritance of Eu- Tope’s moat beautiful capital. ¥ There was almost a revolt, 13 years ago, when a tramway company asked @ concession for a traek across the avenue in a side street. This right was finally bestowed but had the council granted a subsequent appli- cation for a track along the Champs Elysees itself the lives of the city Jegislators would have been threat. ened by an aroused populace. ‘The single track across the drive: way has always been regarded as 2 wear. It {s not improbable that In a few years the tramway company will be required to construct a tun nel beneath the surface of the street.

If this proves as popular as Is expected other such tunnels will be constructed under other busy tsreets, notably the grand boulevards. ‘The parkway known as the Champs Elysees, or Elysian Fields, was lald out near the end of the seventeenth century. It was called the Grand Cours at first and was given its pres- ent name In the time of Louls XVI. The avenue itself is more than a mile Jong and is lined from the Place de la Concogde to the Arc de Triomphe, with pine, Hme and chestnut trees. The promenade fs the favorite after- noon drive of the fashionable world of Paris and it is there that the badaud, or French cockney, is seen to perfection. On one side {s a park, 750 yards long and 40 wide, which is- filled with cafes chantants and such amusements and amusement-providers for children as jugglers, marionettes, merry-gorounds and chocolate ven- ders. Here idollzing parents stand for hours watching thelr petit bon- hommes caracolling on wooden horses, while la bonne, in a snowy eap, holds the bables. . At night the thoroughfare, brilllant- ly {luminated, offers a vivid sugges- tion of fairyland. The Avenues des Champs Elysees Is one of the “lungs” of Paris. At each end and all about ft are places of im- portance {n the life and history of the city and the state. It almost skirts the River Seine, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, where there aro great art exhibitions, separating the park from the quays at one point An avenue starting at the Champs Elysees, between the two buildings, crosses the river on the beautiful Pont Alexandre Til. and leads to Napoleon's tomb. On the opposite side of the Champs Elysees {s the Palats de l'Elysees, the official residence of the president of France. It was once the home of Mme. de Pompadour and wes occupied in Jater years, successively, by Murat, Napoleon 1, Louls Bonaparte ‘and Queen Hortense, Emperor Alexan- der I. and Duc de Berri. ‘The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bols de Boulogne trav: erse the Avenues des Champs Elysees first. Beyond the Arc the Avenue dn Boils de Boulogne leads up past Prin Jeess de Sagan’s pink marble pelace to the famous woods.
