Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXII NO 30 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY DECEMBER 30, 1911 Attorney Isaac H. Nutter with Ex-Judge J. J. Crandall. Jury Acquits Mrs. Peck of Murder Charge-Defendant Swooned and Carried Out of Court When Verdict of "Not Guild" is Returned. Decision Not Unexpected. Special to The Bee. Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. 18. Mrs. Emma Peck, of this city, was acquitted of the charge of killing her husband, after the jury had been out three quarters of an hour, Friday last at Mays Landing. When the jury came in with its verdict at 3:30 o'clock, Mrs. Peck, who was sitting before the bar, fainted and would have fallen unconscious to the floor had not constable Ernest Jones, who, during the trial was the prisoner's personal custodian, grabbed her as she fell from her chair, and for a moment there was a suspension of business in the court until the defendant was revived. Clad in deep black garb, Mrs. Peck, who is a very frail woman, sat for the two days of the trial facing the jury and the table on which the defense had its papers and exhibits. There were not many points on which either the prosecution or the defense wanted specific charges, and as a result Justice Kalisch charged the jury for about three quarters of an hour. Then the jury went out and forty-five minutes later returned with the verdict of acquittal for which Lawyers Isaac H. Nutter and J. J. Crandall had fought for two days. Justice Kalisch Reverses His Ruling. During the progress of the trial there occurred a lively tilt between the prosecution and Lawyer Nutter as to the admission of testimony of witnesses testifying to the fact that Peck had threatened to kill his wife, and that the same threats had been communicated to his wife. The Judge sustained the State's objection in the absence of the Atlantic Reporters cited by Mr. Nutter. To this Nutter and Crandall noted exception. At this point in the case, Lawyer J. A. Lightfoot, who had assisted in the preparation of the defense, took a ISAAC H. NUTTER taxi-cab from Mays Landing to Atlantic City to secure the cited reports and within an hour and a quarter the Atlantic Reporters were before the Judge, who, with marked courtesy and apology to Attorney Nutter, reversed his former rulings and insisted that the defense should call the witnesses. To this the State offered no further objection. Dr. P. L. Hawkins in the Case. During the trial the defense was assisted by Dr. P. L. Hawkins, who has always figured as an expert in all the murder cases defended by Nutter and Crandall. An amusing incident occurred in that the physicians called by the State refused to qualify as experts when they became apprised of the fact that Dr. Hawkins was in the case with the defense. The local physician had gained quite a reputation by the way he has always assisted the defending attorneys in tying up his brothers in white of his profession. There were several spectacular features that closed the case. When Assistant Prosecutor Schwinnhammer opened the case on Friday morning he announced that the State had abandoned the plea for a first degree verdict, but asked for a second degree verdict and Attorney Nutter fought hard for an acquittal. It was also a surprise that the State made no attempt to rebut the testimony of the defense. It was on the evening of the 30th of May last that the murder of Charles Peek occurred, and at that time Lawyer Nutter was attending the Alumni meeting at Howard University. On the morning following Lawyer Nutter left Washington to attend Morgan EX-JUDGE HEWLETT GOES WITH PROGRESSIVES. Calls on the Colored Voters to'Leave Mr. Taft—A Caustic Letter to The Bee. After considering carefully your strong appeal in behalf of Mr. Taft, I am compelled to say, I shall never forget and always hold dear the memory of the late Judge Taft, who had no patience with those who attempted to draw the color line: Who believed in the enfranchisement of the Negro, and, when Attorney General, rendered the opinion upon which Grant acted in sending troops to protect the Negroes at the polls: who was opposed to the separation of the races. I shall always remember his son William H. Taft, our President, as the man who declared for the color line in office holding: who, instead of condemning, condoned disfranchisement on account of color: who, from the White House, declared that the Negro must always be considered as a separate and distinct race in this country: who refused to say one word, in his message to Congress, against lynching. The time has come for the colored men to stand together and demand every manhood right that other citizens enjoy. I will confess that I believed when President Taft was nominated, that being the son of his father, we, as a race, might feel safe with him as our President: and thus believing I left my business and remained on the stump for about six weeks, neither asking nor receiving compensation. I now declare that I cannot support Mr. Taft, unless I lay aside my manhood and race loyalty, and this is out of the question. I shall support the Progressive Republicans, and do all in my power to elect their candidate whoever he may be, for I firmly believe they intend to treat the Negro as a man and a citizen, and I hope colored voters of the country will do likewise. E. M. HEWLETT. Y. M. C. A. RECEIVES $25,000 FROM JULIUS ROSENWALD; The members and friends of the Y. M. C. A. had their hearts made merry by the receipt of a Christmas present from Mr. Julius Rosenwald, in the shape of a check for $25,000. Mr. Rosenwald is president of the Sears-Roebuck Co., a mail order house of Chicago, Ill., and has offered to assist the colored men all over the country to the extent of $500,000, giving the last $25,000 on each $100,000 building. He is a great believer in the Y. M. C. A., and believes that it will be of untold value to colored men. When Mr. Rosenwald visited the city last spring, he was much impressed with the manner the colored people of Washington had rallied to the cause, and was much interested in the story that H. W. Chase, a laborer, in the Government service, an ex-slave, had given $500 of his life's time savings. Upon learning that about $40,000 was needed to complete the structure, he offered to give the $25,000 on condition that $15,000 be raised in subscriptions. The Central Association (white) undertook to raise the $15,000 as part of their contribution to the building. It was thought that this could be easily done, but the Central Y. M. C. A. canvassers met some unexpected difficulties. Some of the business firms who profit largely by colored trade, and who were expected to give to this enterprise in proportion to their colored trade, absolutely refused to contribute. It was hoped 'that Mr. Rosenwald's check would have been received in time to complete the building by Thanksgiving Day, 1911, but the difficulty experienced by the white Y. M. C. A. in raising their pledged amount delayed the matter until last week. The colored people have paid over $25,000 to date, and have about $3,000 outstanding in pledges which will be collected now as soon as possible. Washington colored people have paid more money toward the erection of a Y. M. C. A. than any other city in the country. Although the white Y. M. C. A. fell short about $4,000 in raising the $15,000 required, Mr. Rosenwald sent his check on notwithstanding, upon assurances that they would raise it before March 1. This was done so that work on the building could go on and be ready for occupancy within about 90 days from date. Although the Y. M. C. A. has been without permanent quarters the work accomplished by this organization has been of a very high order. They have four well organized Bible classes, and hold interesting meetings every Sunday afternoon. Last spring a series of men's meetings were held at the Howard Theater, at which the attendance ran as high some Sundays as 1,500 men. On one of these Sundays 86 men made a decision to lead the Christian life. They secure employment for men, get their members released from the Loan Sharks, look after wayward young men who come to the city and fall into bad company and neglect writing home, saving their money, going to school, etc. A big mass meeting will be held by the Y. M. C. A. at Howard Theater Snuday, December 31, at 3:30 P. M. Dr. P. O'Connell, of the Theological Department of Howard University, will speak on the subject "The New Man." The Elk's Glee Club, the Coleridge-Taylor Trio, Mr. E. C. Jones, baritone, and the Lyric Orchestra, will furnish music. Mr. Julius Rosenwald, who recently gave this association $25,000, has been invited to be present, and a New Year's THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN message is expected from him at this time. The ladies are especially invited, and it is announced that the doors will be open at 3 P. M. Mr. Thomas, manager of the Howard, has given the use of his house free of charge to the association, in honor of the great victory of the Y. M. C. A. in securing the $25,000. ·NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS. The Hope of the Colored Race-Pro Kelly Miller Gives Limely Warning. (By Kelly Miller.) To Educated Colored Men: Greetings. I am taking advantage of the approaching New Year to address you a few words of serious greeting. You represent the first generation of your race, now grown to fullness of the stature of manhood, under the influence and power of education. You are the first ripened fruit of philanthropy, and by you alone will wisdom or folly be justified. The hope of the race is focussed in you. You are to furnish the head-light to direct the path through the dangers and vicissitudes of the wilderness. For want of vision the people perish; for want of wise direction, they stumble and fall. There is no body of men in the world today, nor in the history of the world, who have, or ever have had greater responsibilities or more coveted opportunities than devolve upon you. It is indeed a privilege to be a Negro of light and leading in such a time as thus. The incidental em M. H. M. EX-JUDGE E. M. HEWLETT. Who Has Joined the Progressives. barrassments and disadvantages which for the time being, must be endured are not to be compared with the far more exceeding weight of privilege and glory which admits you, if you rise, to these high demands. For such a privilege well may you forego the pleasures of civilization for a season. Your world consists of, ten million souls, who have wrapped up in them all the needs and necessities, powers and possibilities of human nature; they contain all the forms of civilization, from its roots to its fluorescence; yours is the task to develop and vitalize these smothered faculties and potentialities. Your education will prove to be but vanity and vexation of spirit unless it ultimates in this task; you are the salt of this earth, and if the salt loose its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? If the light within the racial world be darkness, how great is that darkness? The highest call of the civilization of the world today is to the educated young men of the belated races. The educated young manhood of Japan, China, India, Egypt and Turkey, must lift their own people up to the high level of their own high conception. They must partake of the best things in the civilization of Europe and show them unto their own people. Your task is the same as theirs, intensified, perhaps, by the more difficult and intricate tangle of circumstances and conditions with which you must deal. You cannot afford to sink into slothful satisfaction and do your little job, draw your little pay, and enjoy your tasteless leisure, and with inane 14 self-deception hide your little head under the shadow of your wings, like the foolish bird, which thereby hopes to escape the wrath to come. As you look over the field the whole sweep of racial movement seems to be retrograde. The race has been disfranchised and jim-crowed and segregated; lynching and burning of Negroes amid horrors of indescribable atrocity, has become a fixed American institution. The Christian conscience has become seere, and only Christ in Heaven weeps. There is no other source of help but God and you. The white race, through philanthropy, has done much; but its vicarious task was practically completed when it developed you. You must do the rest. Our gratitude can never repay the debt we owe. They spoke for us when our tongues were tied; they pleaded for us when we were speechless. But now our faculties are unloosed; we must stand on our own footing. The greatest gratitude that the beneficiary can show to the benefactor is, as soon as possible, to do without his benefaction. True, we are not yet able to cut loose wholly from the benevolent assistance; we still need some more ear-rings and finger-rings and other furnishings from the Egyptians. But the great outstanding fact remains, the task of race statesmanship and reclamation is not primarily the white man's burden, but yours. Upon you will depend its success or failure. As far as righteous insistence upon inalienable human rights will premit, live at peace and helpful co-operation with all men, North and South, East and West. But never, under any inducements of cowardice or prudence or thrift, should you deviate from the straight line of righteousness, which alone points out the way and points the way out. Moral energy and race loyalty should be brought to bear upon your task whether you be engaged in the production of wealth or in the more condite pursuits, which administer to the highest needs of man. The white race is fast loosing faith in the Negro as an efficient acceptable factor in the equation of our civilization. Curtailment of political, civil and general privilege and opportunity is but the outward expression of this apostasy. As the white man's faith in you decreases, your faith in yourselves must increase. Every Negro in America should be taught daily, with his face turned toward the light, to utter this prayer: "Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief." Through courage, expressed in the active as well as in the passive voice, courage to do and courage to endure, you must so assert and exert your manhood, that you will not only believe in yourselves, but the rest of the world will be compelled to believe in you. Then, and not till then, all will be well. Such is the mark and the high calling to which you are called. May you rise to the level of it. EDUCATION THAT COUNTS. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs the Most Eloquent Female Talker in the United States—The Greatest Female of the Age. When Miss Nannie II. Burroughs addressed the Bethel Literary a few weeks ago. She said in part, among other things, that education is a force at work, purging, purifying and lifting man nearer to God, and at the same time, bringing him closer to his fellowman. The ultimate purpose of an education is to put a helpful force to work to improve society, therefore, the education that counts is the education that is usable. Its results must be visible. "It is to be feared in this generation, when men are, trying to get away from God, instead of getting closer to him, and thus, having more power with him, that our schools are developing a lot of infidels and religious faddists, who will so pauperise us spiritually, that we will forget that the way to prosperity and plenty is by way of the throne of God, and that the old cross is still the center of the highest civilization, and that men must look to calvary if they desire to live. There is a great need of having all men, who are preparing to be of service in this world, to realize that the greatest of all teachers is the man of Galilee, and their education, etc. Education, be of service, must fit one for everyday life and everyday living. It must be broad and practical. "There are hundreds of men and women today, trained in our institutions, who are sitting down, waiting for positions and harassing their friends to death for jobs, when there is work, and plenty of it, right under their noses. They may find it necessary to sell the trees, lay the foundation and rear the superstructure, but who should be better prepared to do this work, and plenty of it, and to rejoice in the fact that God calls his best ones to, stand in trying places, because there are trying places where some one must stand, and the careless and indifferent are not great enough for such a service; to what unplifting force must we look? * * There are hundreds of incompetent young people, who take out their working papers every June, and can do absolutely nothing satisfactorily. They drift from one trivial job to another, and when they have been knocking about for three or four years, hunti.g, find a job and then a square meal, they become disgusted with themselves, and decide to go somewhere and learn something at which they can make a living." It has become known that Miss Violet Edmands, the Brookline heiress, who was engaged to marry the (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) May the year of 1912 bring happiness, prosperity and success to all. ness, prosperity and success to all. That General Morales is likely to forfeit his life by his last attempt at rebellion in Santo Domingo, is the tenor of Advices received from Hayti. It is understood that the ex-president is soon to be put on trial for his life. Henry L. Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, in an interview, said: "Rooseveltism would mean absolutism if they put him in the White House again, and we will never get him out, except feet foremost." During the general holiday festivities the Chinese children of this city were not forgotten. Last Tuesday evening the spirit of Christmas reigned in the Chinese Chapel, and a score of boys and girls celebrated the birthday of the King of Kings. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president of Harvard University, is resting quietly at Kandy, Ceylon, after an operation for appendicitis. Almost a hundred cable messages were sent out from university circles wishing Dr. Eliot Christmas greetings. President Taft has been presented with a book issued by the Southern Commercial Congress, entitled "The South's Physical Recovery." At the time of the presentation a committee representing the Southern Commercial Congress invited President Taft to the Nashville convention of the Congress next April. The invitation was accented tentatively. George Dewey, Admiral of the Navy, celebrated his seventy-fourth birthday on the 26th. Admiral Dewey made no elaborate plans for the celebration. He ended his last sea cruise October, 1899, since which time as Admiral of the Navy and president of the general board, he has had his headquarters in this city. Upon the grave of Clement C. Moore, who wrote "Twas the Night Before Christmas," a holly wreath was placed by 100 "Sunday School children. Miss Clara Earden, founder of the Red Cross, celebrated her ninetieth birthday Christmas day very quietly at her home in Glen Echo, Md. Jean Bantist Le Guen, globe trotter, journalist and linguist, arrived in this city Christmas day, and after a brief stay will continue his walk around the world. He started on his trump in 1902, and since that time he spends only three days in one city, stopping just long enough to obtain the autographs of prominent men. Among the popular books edited by colored Americans this year are, "My Larger Education," by Dr. Booker T. Washington: "The Quest of the Silver Fleece," by Prof. W. E. DaBois, and "Wisdom Call," by Rev. Sutton E. Griggs. L. K. Salisbury, president of the Mississippi, Delta Planting Company, Memphis, Tenn., which employs thousands of Negroes in connection with its operations, is to deliver one of the principal addresses at the Tuskegee Negro Conference, to be held January 17 and 18. Washington was fourth among all the cities of the United States in point of building for the month of November, only New York. Chicago and Boston exceeded the Capital in the amount of new building for which permits were granted and contracts awarded. A new and very valuable oil has been discovered in tomato seed by an expert chemist in Italy. The oil is useful in the manufacture of high-grade varnish. It is highly transparent, possesses great lasting qualities, and dries very quickly, without contracting or producing cracks. A new movement to aid in the uplift of the masses and to correct the abuses from which they are supposed to be suffering, was formally launched at the initial convention of the Indiana State Arie Club. Harry K. Shaw, slayer of Stanford White, is preparing to make another fight for liberty from the asylum in Matteawan, N. Y. Endoros C. Kenney, principal of the high school in New York, spoke of the foolish care we take to prevent criminals from taking their own lives. He also urged that doctors be permitted to kill patients suffering from lingering, fatal illnesses, in an address before the Washington Secular League. Assembling the parts of the Columbus Memorial to be erected on the Union Station Plaza, was started last week. The massive blocks are arriving daily at the Station, and workmen are laying the foundations. The contract calls for the completion of the memorial by May 1. It will cost about $100,000. When the employees at the railroad station and the telephone and telegraph offices went to work Christmas day at Tarrytown, N. Y., they found gold pieces awaiting them with the season's greetings, of John D. Rockefeller and Helen M. Gould. John R. McLean, proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Washington Post, sent two checks of $500 each to Cincinnati, for the Firemens Protective Association and the Police Relief Fund, as a Christmas gift. It is said he also remembered the firemen and policemen of this city, but wished no publicity to be given. --- DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING NOW!

"May it please the court," said the attorney, "and you gentlemen of the jury, the learned prosecutor had laid great emphasis upon the fact the defendant could have fled the house when pursued by her husband, and that since she failed to do so she should be held for murder in the second degree. But I say to you, gentlemen, we want no compromise; we want no middle ground; we want an acquittal. If you don't acquit her, then we say hang her; but we ask for no compromise. We want an acquittal. I say further to you gentlemen, that for you to have expected her to have been able to deliberate and reason in the heat of the awful excitement that must have attended that awful and fatal fight on that night of May 30 last, would be to expect more of this little woman than was expected of Christ, the lowly Nazarene, who, in Holy wirt says: "Foxes have holes, the birds of the air have nests, but the son of man hath not place to lay his head." It is generally admitted that the Christ was laboring under unfavorable circumstances, but gentlemen. I present to you the picture of this little woman as appalling as anything to be endured by poor frail humanity—this little woman's fall. Our Saviour was all wisdom, all love and all powerful. He was cleansing the lepers, healing the Centurion's servant and Peter's mother. He was stilling the tempest with "peace be still." and when he was set the multitudes came unto him: they paid homage and bowed at his feet. But in the face of this little woman, born amid ignorance and superstition, started out to make a woman of herself, and through energy and great effort obtained culture and refinement and is an honor to the community in which she lives. Falling in love with the deceased Peck, she reached down into the dead world, lifted him up from depravity and vice, honored him with her virtue and love and transformed him into a being of decency and self-respect. Unceasingly toiling, day and night, she catered to his whims and wishes, saved her money, set him up in business, and when he feels that he has sapped the last of the fruits of her labor he permits the serpent in the form of the outside woman to come into his temple of domestic happiness and attempts to discard his wife at the behest of this serpent. He allows his former employee to drive him on to dethroning his wife in his home that she had built up for him, and who has so much influence over him that he tries to get rid of his wife either through separation or attempted murder. He fails to kill her with the bullet put in her back, and because he failed this little woman stands before you pleading for her life, but asking for justice only. Nothing more, nothing less than justice. Gentlemen, shall we expect it at your hands? Is it not your sworn duty? We ask for an acquittal without your leaving the box, and according to the evidence does she deserve it? She was hit 'on one cheek by Peck and turned the other that he might wield his fist thereon, following the edict of Holy writ. He struck her on that one with a clock that he hurled at her, and still dazed by the blows she fled from the room, pursued by him, charging upon her with brutal knife, frothing at the mouth, and bent upon murdering the wife who had done everything for his uplift. And this little woman, facing untimely death, defended herself the best she could, running, hitting and warding off blows. When Peck found that he could not wield the dagger with immediate effect he seized the gun with murderous intent, and chased this little woman from room to room, as she has testified, and when she found it impossible to escape she wheeled upon him, crouching as he rushed upon her, and as if seized with supernatural power, she knocked the gun just as he fired, and the gun fell from his hand. Then came the fatal struggle. Gentlemen, God was with the little woman, and she and the 'Almighty were victorious over Peck and the devil, for in that struggle the gun goes off and the little woman crawls from under Peck almost in safety Kelly rescued her from further danger, and the death angel calls Peck to the realms of eternity to suffer the penalty of his folly. Gentlemen, can there be the least doubt as to his murderous intent to do this woman serious bodily harm, or as to her defense?" After reviewing the testimony of the State's witnesses Kelly, Mitchell, Thorpe, Senseman, then he went into the story as told by the defendant on the stand. "Gentlemen of the jury," began Mr. Nutter, "what is the story of Mrs. Peck as related to you?" "She took him out of the gutter and made a man of him, built a home for them, a castle, drew all of her money out of bank and set him up in business; and when he had got all the money she had saved he tried to discard her first, by having her to sign papers of separation, and on her refusal, he attempted to kill her, while her back was turned to him. This first attempt at murder on his part was stopped by the timely interference of Detective Thrope, who grabbed him and took the gun from him. Then he resorted to mistreatment, and by that attempted to drive her from her home. Still she clung to him. It was the beauty and the villainy of the woman in the case, Hattie, who was driving him on, who appealed to his baser elements and drove him on that she might take the place of his wife in his home. Finally he was driven to end it all, while the vampire awaited the news that she should be mistress over the realms of Peck's domain. But she will not see him until the last roll-call eternally in the heavens. He came in and found his wife dressing, getting ready to attend a ball on the pier, and his greeting was, "I want that money," and when she refused, he tells her to get ready to die you b—, for I am going to kill you. Kelly prevented him from killing her while she was down, and separated them in the first encounter, but he was bent on finishing his job. The laws of New Jersey justifies her in killing in order to protect herself if she thought she was in danger of receiving serious bodily injury. It does not have to so appear to you gentlemen of the jury, but to this defendant at the time the fatal shot was fired. Now I ask, does the evidence show that she had reasonable grounds to believe she was in danger of receiving serious bodily bodily harm? The prosecutor may say that she should have fled the house, but the beasts of the field will defend themselves when driven to quarry. It is nature. It is the inalienable rights secured by the laws of the land, the laws of nature, the laws of God. What will become of womankind if you deprive them of this right to defend themselves? Where is the chivalry of human nature? Where sleepeth the dignity of manhood? Where is the strong arm of justice? If these be awake, why suffer this woman to undergo the disgrace of a trial. "Gentlemen of the jury, arise to the emergency of the occasion and ask yourselves the question: What would I have done to the man who thus assaulted my daughter? Ask yourselves the question, would your daughters have been justified in killing a man who had thus attacked them? When you have answered those questions, there can be, and we want no compromise, but one verdict, and that is "not guilty."

Nathaniel Ruffin, a well known citizen is sole manager. Ever since the foundation of this government the colored citizens of this city have been in need of a first class hotel where families and guests from other cities may go with impunity and with reservation. Thousands of the best and well known colored people have visited this city and do visit it now, but they have no place of dignity to go with their families and feel at home. Dr. Booker T. Washington, about a year ago made a special plea to the Negro Business League of this city to see to it that a hotel be erected, for the accommodation of the colored people; that when he, Dr. Washington, comes to the city he is compelled to go to some private home. The Lexington Hotel. has been erected at the southwest corner of twenty-first and L streets, northwest. It is a beautiful three story edifice to contain every modern convenience and accommodation for guests. Incorporated Under Act of Congress Approved June 26,1887 CAPITAL and ASSETS over $50,000.00 THE LEXINGTON HOTEL. The Front Entrance Will be on L St. The entrance to the Rathskeller will be on L street or main entrance leading to the basement. The Rathskeller will be fitted up equal to any in the United States. the L street entrance. The Buffet Cannot be Surpassed. The dining-room which will be large and commodious with a seating capacity for one hundred and fifty guests. The barber shop will be managed by a first class tonsorial artist with every modern convenience. The billiard parlor, office, lobby and waiting room will be unsurpassed. The writing parlor will be on the first floor, handsomely furnished. There Will be Thirty-Eight Large Airy Bed Rooms and Nine Baths, There will be at least two private bath rooms connected with the suite of rooms on the second and third floors. The Lexington Will be Conducted on the Basis of Any Up To Date First Class Hotel. The banquet hall which is so much needed in this city for the accommodation of first class visitors and patrons will be one of the features of this hotel. The automobile will run to and from the Union Station to the hotel for the accommodation of the guests. This has been just what the city has needed for a long time for the Colored Americans, who visit here. Whenever a person intends to visit the city, a card to the manager of the hotel will be promptly re- sponded to, and the guest or guests be driven immediately to the hotel in the hotel's automobile which will meet any train that comes into the Union Station or Steamboat wharf. The erection of this hotel in the city of magnificent distances will be an honor as well as a benefit to the colored people. Almost any city in the South has a first class hotel and the people in Washington have determined not to be behind in meeting the demands of strangers and visitors. Capital Stock. The company is incorporated with a capital stock of fifty thousand dollars, of this amount the company has decided to sell fifteen thousand dollars' of it. A greater opportunity has never been offered the people of this city, who are enterprising and wish a good investment. The Sole Manager. is Mr. Nathaniel Ruffin, a well known citizen of Washington, who is known to the president of the United States, to the cabinet officers and other public men of character and influence. He needs no introduction to the people, because he is prominently connected with some of the best, strongest, and leading organizations in the city. For honesty and integrity and influence among his people no better man could have been selected for the position of manager.

One copy per year in advance...$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three months.....50 Subscription monthly.....20 PRIMARY LAW. Senator Bristow, of Kansas, and Congressman Oldfield, of Arkansas, are having hysterics to pass an election law for the District of Columbia. They are so afraid that President Taft will receive the District delegates to the Chicago convention that they are deserting every other important proposition before Congress to checkmate President Taft. The Bee would respectfully call to the attention of these two law makers that there are over half a million of colored voters in the Southern States disfranchised and not permitted to exercise the rights of citizenship. Is not the election of Democrats from those States elected by fraud, and are not the elections in those States "worse than jokes?" as the distinguished Senator from Kansas has characterized the District election? Why don't both of these ghetto men see to it that a law is passed to protect the colored voters in the South and other States where the Democratic party is in power? The argument of these two law makers is a sham as well as a joke. The Republican voters of the District of Columbia don't mean to be controlled by this sham aristocracy and men-too nice to come out to vote when they are asked and when an opportunity is accorded them. The Bee begs leave to inform Mr. Bristow and Mr. Oldfield that every citizen in this city is permitted to vote, and no one is shot or bound at the stake for exercising the rights of citizenship, either. It would be in better taste for these two gentlemen to see to it that the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution are enforced instead of wasting their time and ammunition upon two Republican delegates and a National Committeeman. The people of Kansas and Arkansas sent these two gentlemen to Congress for more important business. The people who are in the States of these two distinguished men will see to it next time that both Mr. Bristow and Mr. Oldfield be retired from public life, and men of broader ideas be elected in their stead. Just think of it!! Two men representing two of the most important States in the Union interfering with two local delegates in the District of Columbia, harmless as two turtle doves, while over a half million of Negroes are disfranchised and not permitted to vote, and these two men give encouragement to it by their votes. Go west, young men, and stay there. It makes no difference how many election laws are passed for the District of Columbia, the two delegates from this place will be for Mr. Taft, Messrs. Bristow and Oldfield to the contrary notwithstanding. START IT RIGHT. Christmas is hallowed with sacred memories, and the beautiful modern custom of giving and receiving on that day adds to rather than subtracts from the beauty, and the sentiments associated with the day on which Christ arose. But hallowed with sacred memories as the day is, and beautified by the custom of giving to make others happy. New Year's day seems to mean more to us. New Year's day is the beginning of another, twelve months into which may be crowded happiness or grief, or both, and New Year's day announces the death of the old year into which may have been crowded so much grief that we may be glad it is ended, or into which may have been crowded so much happiness that we may regret it has been ushered into the past. And New Year's day is a day of new resolves—resolves which adhered to, be speak happiness for our own households and the households of our neighbors. It would be a splendid thing if all Negroes, on New Year's day, would resolve to fight for one and all of their race, rather than fight against some or any of their race. And it would be a far better thing if such a resolve made were kept, until the end of the coming year—kept until its keeping became a part of our nature. The future of the race is not unrestricted—it is restricted by prejudices and anti-race feeling and sentiments which makes it incumbent upon each and every Negro, great and small, to put aside all jealousies; to subordinate all selfishness to generousness, and to help one another, rather than to hamper one another. Just on the threshold of the first day of the year 1912, The Bee extends to all its readers the wish for a happy and prosperous New Year, and entertains the hope that the New Year will not be marred by a single discordant note born of selfishness or of jealousy. Let us be each for all and all for each all through the year 1912. Let's start the New Year right, at least. TAFT AND THE NOMINA TION. It is quite apparent that the manufactured opposition against the renomination of President Taft is passing away. There never was any occasion or reason for opposition to his renomination, for, judged by his record, no president was ever more deserving of the confidence of the public than Mr. Taft. We cannot fathom the ungratefulness of Negroes who are or will oppose him. No President has done more to help along the cause of education for the race than he has done, and no President has given us as high, or more recognition in a political way. It might be stated now, and stated plainly, that such colored men who expect to nurse a fanciful grievance against Mr. Taft as an asset upon which to realize cash will be disappointed. And it might be stated, and stated plainly that colored men who will oppose the renomination of Mr. Taft, either by voice or deed are unfit to be respected by the rest of the race. The man who will oppose him or those who have helped him is an ingrate who deserves to be despised. President Taft has really helped the race, has really proven himself a friend to the race, and as a friend he deserves, and ought to have, our united support. We do not anticipate any opposition on the part of colored men, to the renomination and election of President Taft, except from such colored men upon whom rests the stigma of grafting. And to the credit of the race it can be said that the number of Negroes who desire to graft is very small, so small that we know them all. "BITTER CAMPAIGN." BITTER CAMPAIGN. This is the caption of an article that appeared in the last edition of the Times last Tuesday afternoon, in which the writer, Judson C. Williver, states that the contest for delegates in this city to the next Republican National Convention will be a bitter one. Because Mr. Pinchot was dismissed from the government service by Mr. Taft; is there any reason that the Negro should join his forces to satisfy his selfish ambition? The Editor of The Bee was not aware that either Mr. Bradshaw or himself were candidates of a machine. Is not Pinchot and other dissatisfied and disgruntled progressives angry because they were either kicked out of office or making efforts to get in? Would Pinchot have made a fight on the administration had he been retained in office? Is it not always outs trying to get in? And why should not the ins do all in their power to keep in. So far as Mr. Bieber is concerned, The Bee has always maintained that he should have been continued as collector of Georgetown. The attack on him by the late Senator Carter was unjustifiable and untrue, as the investigation showed. Why should he be hounded to death by political parasites. The Bee knows this much: that the writer in the Times knows nothing about the campaign of 1908 in which Messrs. Horner and Flather played prominent parts, upon which Welliver lays so much stress. Mr. Pinchot, with his barrels, will have no walkover. PECULIAR PEOPLE. Some colored people are very peculiar. If a person is a correspondent for a paper, a colored person imagines that he is responsible for the editorials that appear in the paper for which he corresponds. Our Fairmount Heights correspondent is in no way responsible for the editorial expressions of The Bee. He is responsible for the news matter he sends from that section of the city, and has never been a party, directly or indirectly, for any editorial that has appeared in this paper. If the petticoat organization of Fairmount Heights wants additional information, call on the Editor. No matter for publication in that section, hereafter will be published unless it comes through our correspondent, Mr. Armstrong. Happy New Year to all. Be sure and start the New Year without a grouch. A man's idea of the consensus of opinion is what he himself thinks. The real test of his hold upon the people will come when Col. Roosevelt begins to write poetry for The Outlook. We are preparing a list of the world's twenty greatest Negroes, and hope to complete it as soon as we can learn the names of nineteen besides our own. The normal woman is still worrying more over the dark fear that she left the price mark on her present to her dearest friend than over not having suffrage. Late returns show that in not one of the single ladies' stockings hung up Christmas eve was found anything that looked like Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, Jim Cobb, Dr. Will Howard, Dr. Gaskins, Louis Gregory, Dr. Charles Harrison or Nevil Thomas. We hate to think that the world hasn't progressed any in the last few decades, but we can't help noticing that the New Year's resolves and swear-offs are substantially the same as were as far back as the time when New Year resolves and swear-offs were invented. Silk stockings are being offered at such phenomenally low prices at this season of the year that the women cannot afford to wear high shoes or long skirts. Our Sunday school editor noticed twenty pairs of silk stockings on You street yesterday in twenty minutes, and has jotted down, from memory, the size, color and length of each pair observed. (By R.H.Brooks,723 So.Fairfax St.) Roberts Chapel Sunday school held Christmas exercises Tuesday-evening at the church. Mr. Chas, Robinson, the superintendent, assisted by his able corps of officers and teachers, made the affair very instructive and entertaining Mr. J. H. Murray exhibited some stereoicon views and explained same to the children. During the afternoon Mrs. Maggie Evans and Miss Hattie Darnell entertained the children of the Keep Sweet Circle of the Junior Epworth League. The children amused themselves with various games. The real treat, however, consisted of fruit, nuts, candy, etc. five gallons of ice cream and an additional freezer of cream that was kindly donated by Mr. Robert Burke, the confectioner, on South Columbus street. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Coles entertained the choir of Ebenezer Baptist Church on the evening of Tuesday Dec. 26. Mrs. Laura V. Brown and Miss Laura, her daughter, of Los Angeles, Cal, were the week-end guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Buckner, and Miss Martha E. Buckner, of So. Columbus street. Mr. J R. C. Madella is in the city, the guest of his brother, Mr. Clarence H. Madella and Miss Maggie Madella, his sister. Mrs. Jane Braxton is visiting her sister, Mrs. Nellie Wright, of Baltimore. Mrs. Mary Day is very ill with pneumonia at her residence on Gibbon St. Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Johnson have both been very ill. Mrs. Johnson is much improved. The Alfred Street Baptist Sunday school presented a cantata on Wednesday evening entitled "A Real Santa Claus." Miss Mary E. Dorsey and Miss Eva L. Stokes, entertained several of the Howard University students Tuesday evening. Mr. Henry Carlin, the popular tenor has gone to Atlantic City for the winter. The reception of the Amethyst Club was largely attended. Each member of Roberts Chapel was the recipient of a beautiful Christmas greeting from their pastor, Rev. C. S. Briggs. Mr. Jos. Brown is the guest of Miss Etta Lyles, of So. Columbus street. Miss Ruth Holmes, who is attending school in Baltimore, is visiting her grandmother, Mrs. Cora Conway, during the holidays. NEW CANDIDATES. More Richmonds in the Field. In addition to the candidates for delegate to the National Republican Convention who have already announced themselves, additional candidates are announced as follows: Harry Clark, David L. Stewart, Gen. Andrew S. Buek, who was a candidate in 1908, with John W. Patterson. Public Men And Things ommendations from myself." "Will you find time to administer the estate and continue to work on your Negro Bibliology," I question marked him. "You see, it's just like this," said Dan, "that Negro Bibliology doesn't have to ever be finished, and when it is finished, entre nouse, it won't amount to a tinker's damn." Of course you know who the colored Gaby Deslys of Washington is? Why, cert, all you ladies especially know her, and have met her out to entertainments in the swell upper discontinued social circles. I was standing near her at a swell function this week, and heard her giving a lot of con-con to the lady who was talking with her. The other lady said: "Gaby, how do you manage to keep your hands and arms so beautiful?" "Oh, that's easy," remarked Gaby, in an affected manner that gave me a rummage sale in my abdomen. "you see, I take such excellent care of them; I never even turn the handle of a door for fear of spoiling the beauty of my skin." "Marvelous," her lady friend returned. "You see," said Gaby, this colored Gaby Deslys with a boa constrictor walk, which is a cross between a delsartin and a Palmer House walk, "most of us struggle to be beautiful, and even when one is born beautiful, like myself, it's not so awfully easy, dont-cherk know. You see most arms are made in a hurry, and are misfits, and when the arms are not beautiful the whole body books weird and out of proportion. I drink cocoa to keep my arms sufficiently plum. Cocoa drank three times a day will soon make you plump." And then she went on with a lot of sickening gush, that would have made Billikins have the grouch, until I could stand it no longer, and I just had to go down stairs, walk a half a block, and ask a bar tender to give me something that would keep what I eat the day before anchored down in my stomach. Now there ain't no use of my calling, this colored Gaby Deslys' right name. You know her—we all know her. If I was her brother I'd take her out to Benning and introduce her to that one-horn goat that made ex-Grandmaster Houston beat Dr. Simons' auto record for time getting back to town, and I would not interfere with that goat until he had bumped Gaby into some common sense. Gaby has pretty arms, mebbe, but Gaby's friends better advise her that some people just naturally have weak stomachs, and it won't do to hand out that silly line of talk to every one.

McKinley Bowie, son of Edward and Carrie Bowie, of 526 Third Street Southwest, after a lingering illness for a few weeks, died Saturday, December 23, at 6:30 P. M. He was about 19 years of age. During his last year at the Armstrong Manual Training School, 1910, he was president of his class and captain of Company E, Cadet Corps. He graduated from Armstrong with highest honors, winning a scholarship to Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, where he made an enviable record in, the freshman year, passing to the sophomore class with high averages. He re-entered college this year, but returned home sick, from which sickness he never recovered. He stood high in the esteem of the faculty and students of Dartmouth, as he also did with the students, cadets and faculty of Armstrong. His genial manners, gentle- many deportment and evident ability had so impressed the people among whom he lived that upon his graduation from Armstrong the citizens of South Washington gave to him a mammoth reception. The young lad was one of the handsomest, brightest-minded, most perfect types of manhood it has been our pleasure to know.

His father was in the government service at Fort Myer, Va., also ran a small truck farm and a little country store. Moses, with his mother, brought their produce to the Center Market of Washington, D. C. It was while in this humble occupation that he became attached to the flower business, buying from all the suburban florists for sale at the Arlington Hotel and Ebbitt House, where he had obtained from the manager the privilege to retail flowers to their guests. He began this business when 17, and at 19 employed seven young men to conduct his business. After ten years in this business, he began the pool room business. Next, he began buying, operating, and selling lunch rooms, with the trading of houses on the side. He next began in Arlington, Va., the saloon business, known as the Arlington Roadhouse.

HIS "LOVE" By Miss Bertha Hartgrove. One day as I did watch and wait, To see the opening of "Love's" gate; And standing there with heart aglow, I, then, did see the Christ I know. It call'd to me some years ago, It fill'd my heart with "Love" untold; With love and pity for my kind, I took the oath that made Him mine. Then, waiting 'till the beckon comes, That summons all Golf's children home; Then, answering the call so old— In it my recognition's told. A. I. Gaskins.

He is the youngest old man in the United States, which was fully demonstrated last Tuesday evening.

During his stay as assistant librarian he was appointed a member of the board of trustees of the colored public schools, in which capacity he served with honor and distinction.

Class Reunion. Plans are under way for the fourth annual reunion of the Class of 1907, of Normal School No. 2. The annual function of the class will be held in February. No other classes, graduates of the school, hold reunions; in this respect the class of 1907 is unique.

Interest in the class' annual reunion, however, remains unabated, and their affair of this year is looked forward to with interest and pleasure. It is the intention of the committee of arrangements to urge upon those members who are married to attend this meeting and take active part in the proceedings. Mrs. Queen V. Coalman and her niece, Miss Victoria Floyd, left Friday, December 22, 1911, for Jacksonville, Fla., where they will spend their winter vacation. They will return on or about February 15, 1912.

Editor of The Bee: A telegraphic communication to the "Washington Post" of the 6th inst., stated that white tenants opposed to the acquisition of lands by Neegroes in the neighborhood between Clifton and Savannah, Tenn., lynched two Negroes and one Negress on their way to gin a load of seed cotton, raised on their own land. This news item in the evolution of things in which the Negro is concerned, affords us food for reflection. First of all, it makes us ask ourselves the question whether the white man, reasoning as he does in respect to Negroes, is sincere in his desire to have the Negro's uplift a reality. He advises the Negro to eschew politics and address himself to the getting of property. Perforce the Negro has given up politics and has embarked upon the troubulous sea of industrial pursuits with the purpose of acquiring houses and lands; but so soon as he shows an aptitude in wooing from his "mother" the product of his labor, he is bound to it, and the most horrible of deaths—the death of burning—is meted out to him, and the "crime" for which he is made to pay the penalty is telegraphed to the world that he bought property among those who did not want him in their midst. The second thought is that if death penalty is not inflicted by burning, the same kind of men, a little higher up in authority, enact laws that segregate the Negro under penalty of being separated from the rest of mankind as criminals behind the bars. All this in a "civilized" country by an "enlightened Christian" democracy Now, what shall be done? How shall we treat the vaporings of such men who in one breath, with uplifted hands and upturned eyes, profess that God is the Father of mankind and all are brethren; then, in the next breath, if personal contact with a Negro is brought about, even in being contiguous in property rights, the grace of God departs from them, and the Negro is denounced as a pariah and a heathen, whose presence in the community other than a menial, is a good cause for ostracism or burning? Is the Negro to blame if he spurns the white man's religion? But of another we have an item which emphasizes the whites respect for the house of God. It is of Representative Heflin, of Alabama, the untried and unconvinced offender of the law who sometime ago on his way to deliver an address in a church, carried a revolver with him, either to awe his hearers into belief in his opinions or to commit murder, used it in a street car by shooting a Negro, and almost killing a white man, has reintroduced his bill for separate street cars in the District of Columbia. He thinks he has a better chance of having it passed now than at any other time, since he is backed by Representative Clark, of Florida, and the Democratic majority of the House. We should like to know why this social race reformer is not brought to justice and "acquitted." Here is one of the most anomalous cases in the history of criminal jurisprudence. A man charged with a crime of malicious intent, and who knew before he committed the act of wilfully attempting the life of a fellow being that he had violated a law forbidding the carrying of concealed weapons, is permitted to legislate in the highest legislative assembly in the world for men and women of unsullied character. To what a barbarous condition have we come? Is it any wonder crime is so rampant and the Negro indifferently treated? If this generation is to be abreast of the times it must school itself in the ethics of propriety and modesty of which Representative Heflin is an exponent. To act like him, with chivalry in the defense of others unrelated, and who afterwards cross the continent to escape the notoriety of a nefarious interference is the gospel of prejudice, passion and partisancy taught, in the school of Negro race-antipathy. If this school continues to grow to such proportions as to attract "barbarous" Russian and force her to recognize American passports to her former Hebrew children, and show her how considerate we are of the sun-kissed children of Ham, it will serve a useful purpose. Resolutions of Condolence. Charlotte, N C Dec. 14, 1911. Whereas the Omnipotent has in his wisdom seen fit on Dec. 12, 1911, to remove from the household of our honored vice-president, Dr. A. A. Wychc, his mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary A. Davs, we, the members of the Queen City Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental Association extend our deepest heartfelt sympathy to the family in the loss sustained. Resolved, That the deceased by her exemplary life and motherly wisdom has left an indelible impression upon her immediate family and the community in which she lived. Resolved, That the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, of Washington, D. C., has lost one of its oldest and ever faithful members. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, Star of Zion, the Washington Bee and also a copy to be recorded in the minutes of the Association. Respectfully submitted: M. L. Walker, M. D.; W. A. Pethel, D. D. S.; C. E. Shaw, Phar. D.; J. W. Perry, D. V. M. The first Chinese chapel in this city, dedicated to the Christian religion was opened last Sunday. It is located at 207 John Marshall Place.

LADIES VOLUNTEER days be long on earth. We pray. Testimonials. To Whom It May Concern: I am a married woman and have six months in any peace on earth in my home until I consulted this worthy woman. Two years ago, and since then, my home, by taking her advice, has been all that any family could wish. I am, your sister in Christ. MRS. W. H. H. To Whom It May Concern: My dear readers, you are missing half of your life in misery and shame, worrying with a man that will not try once to please you, cherish or comfort you, and hold a bright light of good moral conduct before his children, by making home happy. Now, listen: If you have sighed, worried, cried and pleaded with him, and to no avail, you pray and let Madame McNairdee advise you. I know you will never regret it. My husband was a drunkard, a run about and around, a gambler, and the most wicked man that our Lord ever let live, until all at once, after reading so often of this woman, I took up courage and let her hear from me. Today, I will say it on a stair-steps of Bibles, I have a model man in every respect. I will praise this woman as long as I have breath. She made my husband a man, a husband, a gentleman. I am, yours in Christ and S. M. T. MRS. T. G. D., C My Dear Friends: I am now making my own volunteer statement because this lady has caused me to be so happy. I would like so much to give you my name, but I hope you know why. I went with a young man two years and we spat all the time. We were twice engaged and he would disappoint me, until I consulted this wonderful lady. Now we are married, and have been for near three years. He is so nice and kind to me. I told him a few months ago of this advice, and he would not agree with me until he lost his job, and he then made up his mind, and do you know that my husband has one of the best jobs of his life by consulting her. No matter what you want to do or know, let her hear from you, and I vow you will never regret it. I can not help believing that she is sent of God to do just what she is doing, and you never hear of a thing ugly that she has done. I visited her during the K. of P. Supreme Lodge, and I never met a nicer lady. I am a Christian and a leader in a good many church clubs. We chatted a good deal of such things. I find her very entertaining. I am, as ever, her friend. MRS. POSIE T. M. Washington, D. C. To Whom It May Concern: I have always been one of those that did not give any thought of this until about four years ago I had a great trouble and it cost me almost every dime I had, and my mother asked me one day to tell some of this trouble to this woman that we read so much about in our papers. Mother says, "I feel that she can help you." I had to laugh with tears in my eyes, for I was in jail; then finally I said, "Suit yourself; anything now, so I come clear and get out of here." She let this woman hear from her and about me. We never can forget what this woman said in reply. She said in substance: "If you will pray and trust God, I will do the erest." And bless her today and forever, I was called to trial, and every witness that could be found spoke in my behalf, and those who did not could not be found. I was returned to jail twice and then set free. Do you blame me for saying she is a power unknown, to help those who seek her aid? I am now doing business for myself and making good. *Every month I send her twenty dollars. I have done this for four months, and shall always divide my last dime with her. I am her friend at all times. G. A. CAMERON, Jacksonville. Thousands are flocking to see this wonderful lady daily. Her powerful consultation when heeded has sent sunshine to the homes of all who called. Don't put off, but call at once, if you wish to enjoy future happiness. Don't delay. Highly indorsed by all the press, teachers, preachers, lawyers and doctors, and come well recommended by four of the leading lodges, the S. M. T., United Order of True Reformers, also the Calanthan Court. The church society of her home, known by the name of United Sisters of Charity of the Missionary Church, and loved by all. God has endowed her with an unspeakable blessing to and humanity. She deals in nothing to be ashamed of. She wants to hear from all that are in trouble or distress. Address INDIANAPOLIS, IND.
