VOL. XXXIII NO9 THE SKILFUL NEGRO Great Opportunities for the People. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., July 27. "Have you a man to take charge of our farm?" "We wish a young woman to teach domestic science in our city school." "We need skilled mechanics to teach carpentry, wheelwrighting and blacksmithing." "Negro nurses, men and women, are in great demand here in our town." These are some of the many calls that assail the principal of Tuskegee Institute at all seasons of the year. It is reasonably so. The change of the trend of education among both black and white; the increase of wealth, and the courage to venture into business among Negroes; the higher and higher esteem into which skilled Negro workmen are rising all make this call louder and more general. At Tuskegee Institute some thirty odd of these industries are taught. There are millinery, dressmaking, ladies' tailoring, upholstering and mattress making, domestic science, laundering and gymnastics for girls; there are shoemaking, tailoring, wheelwrighting, carpentry, cabinetmaking, tinsmithing, printing, harness making, mechanical and architectural drawing, mechanical, electrical and steam engineering for boys; and there are dalrying, swine raising, truck farming, poultry raising, stock raising, floriculture, landscape gardening, veterinary science, fruit growing and many other branches of industry, both mechanical and agricultural, for both boys and girls. Let no one halt at the idea of young women entering the agricultural trades. This again is the modern trend of things. More than this, experience and experiments at Tuskegee Institute are demonstrating that the young woman is just as apt and able a pupil with the machinery in the creamery, with the science of feeds in the poultry yard, with the packing and handling of fruits in the orchard as she is with grammatical syntax in the classroom, and just as quick and aggressive as is her young man classmate, to whom time and prejudice have hitherto restricted these trades. But more of the specific trades later. The call for the skilled Negro workman to-day bears with it comprehensive assumption. It asks for men and women skilled in one or more branches of handwork; but it also has a flavor of something else. Has he religion? Has he character? Has he good habits? Is he punctual? Has he culture? Can he make a speech? Can he command respect? Will he stand for anything in the community? Does he know how to get along with people? These are some of the requirements that the trades teachers of to-day must face, in addition to special training in a given industry. As a mere workman he might pass muster without these; but as a teacher and leader he must have these, together with excellence in scholarship. And strange enough it is that these very essential requirements are not offered in the curriculum of any school. It is hardly advisable that they should be. The student should get them as he goes. They should be a part of his daily life, just like eating his meals and drinking water. No institute offers water drinking as one of its courses in a school curriculum; no more should it offer a course in prayer or in character; but both the prayer and the character should be just as common and just as refreshing as is the water. Now this the Tuskegee Institute, without listing it in its catalogue, undertakes to give—this thing one calls training. Let us begin with Sunday morning to see what general training a student gets during the week, in addition to his special studies in his books and trade. At a certain hour in the morning the bell rings for him to rise; ten minutes later the same bell calls him to breakfast. Five minutes later he must be in the dining hall. He asks his blessing in a short song with from 1200 to 1500 of his fellows, starts his meal on time and finishes on time. He must have come to the dining room properly dressed, having attention to his clothes in general, his hair and his teeth—tooth brushes are required. He must have furnished himself with a napkin, which he must use, and use correctly, at the table; he must know how to handle his food at the table; how to take food on his plate; how to cut it up, and how to convey it to his mouth. From the dining hall he returns to his room. This room he must clean spotlessly; for at another given signal he and his room must stand a scrutinizing inspection from a corps of teachers and workers sent around for that purpose. There must he no dust in the room; no waste paper or soiled clothing must be found lying around; and above all, his own clothing must he not fine and expensive, but free from grease spots and with buttons on where they ought to be. Then there is the call to prayer meeting, the march to church to listen to a sermon and to a rare choir and orchestra; thence to Sunday school, thence to dinner and then a quiet Sabbath rest for a while. Once more the bell calls. There is three o'clock prayer meeting. A band concert, given by a band that has elicited applause well nigh the country over lasts until supper. In the evening comes the real treat. There is the brilliant and invigorating chapel talk by Booker T. Washington, and there is the address by some distinguished person of whom the student has heard much, but whom he had never dreamed of seeing. His day thus closes, having been filled with inspiration which no class room could give. Above all, unawares, he has been receiving just the sort of training which the present day is demanding. He has had his lesson in punctuality, in decency of appearance, in table manners, in keeping clean surroundings, in placing a value upon time, even upon the day of rest. And finally he has not only been temporarily inspired, but has had drilled into him the religious habit of church going, of prayer service and worship on the Sabbath Day. Multiply this day by several hundred days and you get culture, religion, character, in a word you get a man; not perfect, of course, but tending towards the standard the world is now daily erecting for the educated Negro. Learning to handle a napkin, to dress properly, to clean a room, are in themselves culture and education, but they do not comprehend all that the man in the world has to know. What are these activities of the student himself? Where does the student with special ability find an outlet? Suppose he can sing, speak, draw, play on a piano, play on a stringed instrument. Suppose he is an athlete, plays football, baseball and the like, must all this talent be impressed into a trade and into the routine of regular duties. Not so. Not only is the student encouraged in the direction in which he has gifts, but in many instances he receives pay for so using his talent. Many penniless boys and girls have earned a large part of their board, pald for learning their trades and gotten their Academic training through talent of this kind. For the student who can speak, declaim, write essays, debate, or who wishes to acquire skill in any of these directions, there are open to him ten different literary societies. These societies stress different points in general literary culture so that one may elect to enter the one which stands for the sort of thing he can do or wishes to do. If, for example, a student is interested in Agriculture, there is the Natural History Debating Club., which, while it debates like other literary societies, places stress on agricultural discussions. There is the Careful Builders' Club for the younger boys who are just starting, which stresses good mainly conduct; Liberty Debating Club, emphasizing pure debate. On the girls' side there are the Phillis Wheatley, the Acme Club, The Little Women and the Temperance Society, some laying stress on reading, others on discussion and others on general social improvement. A merry time it is when these clubs clash in debate; when Liberty debates Natural History, and the Acme girls, who furnish the entertainment, sit back and applaud; or when the small boys, Careful Builders, with Little Women as their sympathizers, cross swords in argument with the Stokes Ministers' Union, a sort of grown men's club—being the club to which the Bible workers in Phelps' Hall belong. Andrew Carnegie classed the music of Tuskegee Institute choir at the most beautiful in the world. This music is furnished by those students who have talent to sing. They are taught music, trained to sing and then paid so much per month to do this singing. So it is again with the Institute band and the Institute orchestra. Boys with a faint idea of music, but anxious to learn to play on some instrument, are furnished the instrument, given instruction and then employed to play in the band or orchestra. For the last two years the band has made a tour of most of the large cities of the South and elicited praise from both white and colored people. It played before a mixed audience in the Auditorium Armory in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Atlanta Constitution classed its rendition of "William Tell" above the rendition of the same selection by Greatore's band. It played in Montgomery, Birmingham, Mobile, Nashville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Dayton, and was cheered, recheered and invited and besought to return. These were poor Negro boys playing here, who had entered Tuskegee Institute, many being unable to make a class on the one hand or to pay their board on the other. Just as he asserts his talent and individuality through the musical instrument, the football player asserts his talent on the gridiron. True he gets strength and endurance from his trade work, but the alertness which ought always to go with bodily strength, he gains under the football coach on the field. He, too, takes his trips, meets men and women of other schools and so gets his culture, like the band boy, from direct contact with life as it is. The numerous gatherings held at the Institute throughout the year offer this same advantage to the great mass of students who either have no very likely talent or no time to train. During last year these students met and heard speak representatives from almost every nation on the globe. There was the African Race Congress, which brought representatives from England, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, the West Indies, as well as from various parts of the United States and Africa. There is the annual mid-winter trustees' meeting, headed by Seth Low of New York, which brings a special car or two of the best Americans from every section of the country. Special cars of teachers and educators from different cities of the North and 1 CARMI THOMPSON, who succeeded Charles D. Hilles as secretary to President Taft when Mr. Hilles agreed to become chairman of the Republican national committee, was taken from the interior department to the White House. Mr. Thompson is an Ohioan and is known to the Republicans of that state as "a man who knows how to do things." His record has won for him high respect. He did splendid service for the president in the recent Ohio state convention and aided materially in swinging Ohio's delegates at large to the president. Mr. Thompson is forty-one years old and a native of West Virginia, where his father was a coal miner. The family removed to Ohio when Carmi Thompson was four years old. He was graduated from the Ironton high school and the Ohio State university. After being city solicitor of Ironton in 1896 he was elected to the Ohio legislature and was selected speaker of the house of representatives in 1906. In the same year he was elected secretary of state and was re-elected two years later. On Jan. 7, 1911, he resigned to accept the assistant secretaryship of the department of the interior, which position he held until chosen presidential secretary. West, Conferences for school workers among Negro people in the South ers among Negro people in the South all these serve to keep the student alive and in intimate touch with the progress of the world. This contact alone, were there no trades, no books, no instructors, would be an enviable education in itself, an education which would fit the student in just the way the new demands of the day are decreeing that he shall be fitted. Near the opening of the school, on Thanksgiving night, as well as on several other occasions through the year the student has his own social. Here he meets with a thousand or more of his school mates, thus acquiring tact, that ability to get along which is, asked of every man who seeks a position of any kind whatsoever. This is the student life. How has he gotten his trade? How has he chosen it? How will he fit himself in it? Even with his culture the trade alone will not do. If he is a wheelwright he cannot simply make wheels. If he is a blacksmith he cannot simply do blacksmithing. If so he could have followed the old apprenticeship style of his fathers. With his culture and with his skill as a tradesman must go a knowledge of the science of the industry. He must know how to raise turnips, for example, but he must also know the chemistry of soils and the food value of the product." This requirement has sent college graduates, holders of academic certificates and of trades certificates to Tuskegee to study as post graduates. DOURT THE APPOINTMENT OF COLORED COLLECTOR. Senator Johnston of Alabama, who called upon the President yesterday said, as he was leaving the White House, "I do not think that President Taft will appoint a colored man in place of Joseph O. Thompson, formerly Collector of Internal Revenue in Alabama, who was dropped because of his activity in favor of Colonel Rosevelt and the third party. "The appointment of a colored man would be very unpopular there and the Republicans would not dare take the risk at this time," said Senator Johnston. "I think F. T. Wright, a prominent Alabama lawyer, will be the man named." If you want a live paper, read The Bee. AN ELOQUENT DIVINE. Rev. C. D. Hazel, A. M., D. D., a Worthy Man and a Beloved Pastor. The churches of the A. M. E. Zion connection in this city are indeed blessed in this conference year, in having sent to the Washington District of that church as presiding elder. Rev. Clinton D. Hazel, who for eight years was presiding elder of the New Jersey Conference, one of the largest and most intelligent districts in that connection. His eldership and splendid management of the churches in that district is seen wherever the standard of Zion is raised in the sections that he has pastored. He comes to the Washington District with the reputation of being one of the able-temen that ever presided over this district since the Civil War. At Met- REV. C. D. HAZEL, A. M., D. D. One of the Most Distinguished Men in the A. M. E. Zion Connection. ropolitan Union Wesley, Galbraith Church, where he has held his quarterly conferences and preached, people have added their testimonials to his great ability and reputation sent here from his former charges. He is one of the most eloquent and logical preachers one would desire to hear Indeed, he is no novice in the ministerial' field. His sermon Sunday morning at Galbraith was a masterly effort of Dr. Hazel. For more than an hour he held the vast audience spellbound with his eloquence, and his sermon has been the talk of all Zionists. Dr. Hazel has not confined his efforts alone to church building and general Christian work, but he has thrown his force and labor in the field for the uplift of his race. The colored folks of New Jersey decided to hold a State convention in Newark on the 14th of this month, and the committee of arrangements selected Rev. Hazel as the temporary chairman of the convention. This in itself shows how highly he is regarded by those that know him. He will preach at Arlington Sunday morning at 11 oclock, and at John Wesley at 8 P.M. Rev, Clinton D. Hazel was born January 15, 1865, at Newbern, N. C. attended the graded public schools, passing with success all of the courses. He attended Brown, Boston and Yale Universities, and was rated as a high scholar. He Joined Clinton Chapel in 1883, and was licensed to preach in 1886; joined the North Carolina Conference and was ordained at Goldsboro, 1888; ordained elder at Saratoga, N. Y., in 1890. He pastored churches at Providence and Derby, Comm., Cambridge, Mass., Paterson and Atlantic City, N. J.; founder of the famous Theological Circle, leading school of its kind for Negroes. GRANT DAY AT DURHAM—DR SHEPARD'S TRUMPH. Durham, N. C., July 29. Dr. Jesse Johnson an eminent authority on church history and apologetics, of Xenia, Ohio, is the principal speaker for this week at the National Religious Training School, this city. Mr. Edward Brightman, the famed dramatist, of New York, gave a recital Monday night. Among the prominent speakers for next week is Dr. D. Webster Davis, the widely known lecturer, of Richmond, Va. That the Negro race has contributed largely to the culture of the ancient and modern world, and, that the so-called curse of the Negro race is purely a theological argument based on a narrow interpretation of Hebrew history, long since given up by intelligent men were among the strong statements made by Dr. W. F. B. DuBois, last Wednesday night, in making a summary of the series of lectures that he has been making at this institution on the Negro race. He ably impressed upon his large and representative audience, that physical inferiority is no way indicated by the color of the skin and that the doctrine gives absolutely no proof to the assumption of the inferiority of the Negro folk. Dr DuBois, who has the distinction of being one of the world's most reputable sociologists and scholars and an eminent authority on the history of the Negro race, presented some remarkable facts in sustaining his assertion that the race problem is only a few centuries old. The hundreds of characters of Negroid descent, who have been potent factors in the culture of the world, and produced most excellent results that can be seen in the present day civilization are strong evidence of their contribution to man's happiness, he exclaimed were Negroes, but when these facts were compiled there was no race problem and the racial identity of these men were not taken into consideration, but only their achievements. As an evidence of the Negro's ability to become a vital factor in the civilization of the world, he said that in every European country the Negro had distinguished himself. The speaker was quite optimistic about the final results of the activities in Africa and asserted that "Africa for the Africans" would be the consummation of the efforts of the nations now taking a slice of the African's home. NEGROES PLAN CONVENTION. Will Invite Candidates Before Deciding on Indorsement. The Rev. Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, of Washington, national organizer of the Consolidated Colored Republican Clubs of the United States, began preparations here yesterday for the National Convention of that organization and the Independent Political Clubs of this country in Manhattan, on September 18, 19 and 20 next. It will be held in the Union Baptist Church in West Forty-third street, of which church the Rev. Dr. George H. Simms is pastor. Drew said more than 1,000 Negro delegates from each State will attend the convention. Resolutions will be adopted indorsing either the Republican, Democratic or third party candidates for President, but Drew said the name of the man who will be endorsed will not be known until the meeting gets down to business. He added President Taft, Governor Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt will be invited to address the delegates. Exchange. The foregoing is a monumental fake. Rev. P. W. Drew is not authorized by any one or any body. Mr. Drew attended a Taft meeting in this city some time ago and voted with others to indorse Mr. Taft. He then went to the Taft headquarters at the Raleigh Hotel. Ask Mr. Everman his mission. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Important News Happening of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST By Miss G B Maxfield.

Hubert Latham, the famous Anglo-French alman, and one of the pioneers of heavier than air aviation, was killed by a wild buffalo while hunting in the French Soudan. The fatality occurred on June 7. Latham's death occurred in the Charl river, near Bahr Es Salamat, practically in the center of the French Soudan and in the direction of Lake Chad. According to the governor general of French Equatorial Africa, Martial Henri Merlin, in telegraphing the news to the minister of the colonies, Latham was out with a number of natives in the forest, when he shot and wounded a buffalo. The animal immediately charged him, and before he could escape gored and trampled him to death. Latham was the first man to fly over a big city in a heavier than air machine. This feat he performed in Baltimore in October, 1910. He flew from the aviation grounds about fifteen miles outside of Baltimore, over the entire city and harbor, circling the Washington monument and performing stunts 1500 feet in the air over the business section.

In the Venomous Sting of the Bee. (From the Mound Bayou, Miss., Demonstrator.) The Washington (D. C.) Bee, one of the influential race journals published in this country, sometimes correct and usually just in its estimate of men, and of measures of vital interest to our people, takes, in its issue of July 6th a confessedly deliberate and obviously precipitate tumble from that embitterly honorable estimation In the utterance of a vicious, malignant and unwarranted diatribe against the probity and character of Honorable Chas. Baulks, of Mississippi. Our esteemed contemporary devotes quite a column of its invaluable space to a brave effort to establish a baseless charge of turpitude against this gentleman who has achieved a nation wide reputation through sheer force of innate ability and the persistent, dogged, and long sustained effort that constitutes genius; a reputation for capability; a reputation for stability of character, for honesty and for honor; for fetality to conviction and for the absolute square deal to every man in every condition of life. So much of misdirected energy could have been devoted to a better purpose. The Bee undoubtedly possesses a sufficiency of resources and too ample facilities for getting hold of and dispensing information that may be relied upon as veracious and accurate to permit itself to be missed into using the journalistic privilege and opportunity for doing violent injustice to the reputation and character of honest and honored private citizens. Particularly true is this observation in its application to men who of a superabundance of native and acquired ability and talent devote that in the spirit of abnegation and unselfishness to furthering the substantial great interests of a race of people. The Bee has been to some extent a supporter of the president for the Republican renomination and grew from warm to warmer in its advocacy of that nomination as the convention date approached, editor W. Calvin Chase being himself one of the delegates from the District of Columbia to the Convention. Chas. Banks was a delegate-at-large from the State of Mississippi to that same convention and by way of emphasizing his acceptability for that honor, it is only necessary to state that while there were rival state conventions held, a Taft and an anti-Taft convention. Chas. Banks, along with attorney Perry W. Howard, holds the distinction of having been the unopposed choice of both. Chas. Banks, in addition to eminent business qualifications, has also developed rare qualities of race leadership and is conceded on all sides to be the "shrewdest and most resourceful politician that the state has produced since the days of John R. Lynch and James Hill." He is a man of discriminating judgment and a man of vision. The people for whom he has always stood have implicit confidence in his judgment and they fully rely on his unyielding integrity in following the dictates of that judgment in the direction that he conceives to lead toward their ultimate and highest good. If a free and untrammeled expression of the will and preferences of the Republicans of the state could be had, and, they are practically all colored men, it would be found that ninety-five per cent of them would sustain the course pursued by Banks before, up to and through the late Chicago convention. We may not be able to measure the influence of The Bee in some other sections of the country, but as for the state of Chas. Banks, as for Mississippi, brother Chase may as well be advised that he is chasing a phantom and a delusion if he thinks to be able to alienate. from Charles Banks the high respect and esteem in which he is held here at home, and surely at home if anywhere is the place to seek the measure of men. With all their ears glued to the earth in the attitude of keenest attention, The Bee alone was the one race journal of some consequence that was appreciably disturbed by the ominous deep rumble and roar of that "mighty wave of indignation" that "swept across the country," because forsooth, the Black Chief from Mississippi accepted the guage of battle thrown down by those who haughtily assumed to be his bosses, and to dictate his political course of action. If there be any colored man in Mississippi who knows and who can interpret the wishes of his colored fellow citizens, that man Is Charles Banks. The editor of the Demonstrator, it may be freely confessed, is not nor has been a subscribed to the sentiment that would again return Col. Theodore Roosevelt to the presidential chair, but at the same time we confess to a realization of the fact that we make up only one of a very magnificent minority of the American people. But we cannot be disposed to deny to Mr. Banks and to the great majority of the American people the undisputed right to express and to vote the expression of their preference for the political wizard of Oyster Bay. This they have done in every single instance where open opportunity to do so has been accorded them. Now, "forgetting the over-rated man from Mississippi." The Bee has buzzed and buzzed and stung and we can assure The Bee that Charles Banks still maintains his equanimity undisturbed. The virus exuded from the venomous sting of The Bee, if it reached the spot designed, was wanting in the necessary strength to either irritate or pain. We remark by way of conclusion that The Bee will buzz and buzz and sting, for 'tis its nature so to do; but as for our valued Continued to page 7.

Urgent pleas have been received by steel car manufacturers in Pittsburgh, Pa., since the middle of the month that delivery of cars ordered during May and June be hastened. Shortage of labor has interfered with the putting on of more capacity in the past fortnight notwithstanding declarations of the railroads that delays in deliveries of cars ordered early in the summer will aggravate the most severe car famine in the history of the country during the coming fall. Unusual expedients are being resorted to by the railroads and car manufacturers. One southern railroad is financing a Roanoke, Va., bridge and structural company in the installation of car building machinery, because it is unable to get prompt deliveries of steel cars in the north. Millions are being expended in the Pittsburgh district for improvements and additions to steel plants, and it is expected that this year's record of money spent will exceed that of any other year in the district's history. The figure is close to $30,000,000. CLAUDE ALLEN TO DIE Hillsville Bandit Guilty of Murder In Court House. Claude Allen, one of the Hillsville outlaws, was convicted of murder in the first degree at Wythville, Va., for the killing of Commonwtalth Attorney William M. Foster. At a former trial Claude Allen was found guilty of murder in the second degree for the killing of Judge Thornton L. Massle. Claude Allen is the second one of the Allen clan to be convicted of first degree murder, his father, Floyd Allen, being the other. When he learned that he must pay the penalty for his crime in the electric chair the prisoner broke down and wept bitterly, as did also his fiancee, who was with him in the court room. It was the first time he had displayed the least sign of emotion since his trial began. AERONAUT FALLS 1000 FEET Body, Striking Head First, Buried In Earth Up to Knees. When 1000 feet in the air a rope attaching the trapeze bar to his parachute broke, and Thomas E. Flick, thirty-two years old, of Quincy, Ill, fell to his death at Canton, O. Flick's body struck in the soft earth of a celery field, head first, and was buried to the knees. The accident occurred almost immediately after Flick, watched by 3000 people at Myers Lake, an amusement resort, cut loose from his balloon. In the crowd were two sisters of the aeronaut.

Organized Steel Company at $1,400,000,000, Half Water, With $62,500,000 Profit. The Gary Perkins plan for the creation of a federal commission to fix the prices of the products of industrial corporations is endorsed in a report made public by Representatives Gardner, of Massachusetts, and Danforth, of New York, Republican members of the Stanley steel committee. Representatives Gardner and Danforth recommend the enactment of a law under which all interstate corporations would be required to obtain a charter from the federal government before commencing business. Messrs. Gardner and Danforth believe in effective governmental regulation of the activities of interstate corporations; Representative Sterling, of Illinois, the third Republican member of the steel committee, condemns the plan of government price fixing, recommends the enactment of a federal incorporation law and urges the dissolution of industrial trusts into their integral parts. Representatives Gardner and Danforth condemn those concerned in the payment of a fee of $62,500,000 to J. P. Morgan & Co. for organizing the United States Steel corporation. They read the corporation a lecture urging it to improve labor conditions in its various shops and factories. They charge, that the steel corporation was overcapitalized and that the corporation through the medium of the so-called "Gary dinnors" fixes "the prices and the independents follow suit." Here are the findings of part of the Gardner-Danforth report: "That J. P. Morgan & Co. and the underwriting syndicate received $62,500,000 for organizing the United States Steel corporation. "That the corporation was capitalized at $1,400,000,000, of which nearly one-half was 'water.'" "That the average annual earnings of the corporation have been from 11 to 12 per cent on the actual value of its assets. "That the corporation controls a little over one-half the crude and finished steel business of the United States. "That the average wholesale price of steel products has fallen off since the corporation was organized. "That the corporation and all the independents have an understanding as to prices. "That the system of interlocking directorates has insidious consequences and facilitates 'inside management' and the stifling of competition. "That the situation as to iron ore supply is grave and may become menacing. "That labor conditions in certain departments of the steel industry are bad." The Gardner-Danforth recommendations follow: Constructive legislation—all corporations exceeding $50,000,000 in capitalization of valuation must become United States corporations before entering interstate commerce. For smaller corporations United States charters are voluntary. All United States corporations must be capitalized as their actual value. An interstate commission of industry, like the interstate commerce commission, to be established. Publicity to be provided for. When the price fixed by a United States corporation has been found to be unreasonable, the interstate commission of industry must publicly declare that fact and recommend a reasonable price. Interlocking directorates and 'holding companies' forbidden except when permitted by interstate commission of industry. Industrial corporations not to own common carriers. Unreasonable restraint of trade defined and burden of proof "unreasonableness" transferred to the defendant. Individuals and states to have the opportunity to interven in government spits. Extensive powers and instructions for courts when combinations are adjudged illegal. Recommendation to the United States Steel corporation: That in the last furnaces and rolling mills three shifts of men, working eight hours each, ought to take the place of two shifts of men working twelve hours each.

He Will Waive Immunity and Appear Before the Grand Jury on Tuesday. William Shapiro, the chauffeur who drove the gray touring car in New York in which the assassins of Herman Rosenthal rode to the scene of the crime and escaped after the murder, turned state's evidence and revealed to the district attorney and Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty all he knows about the case. The arrangement for a complete confession by Shapiro was made through his counsel, Aaron J. Levy, Mr. Levy offered Shapiro's testimony to the district attorney under conditions guaranteeing Shapiro from prosecution a week ago. The district attorney held off from the proposition because he was not satisfied with the line of testimony displayed by Levy. It is understood that Shapiro, in order to make good the plan by which he wa sallowed to confess, came forward with information of importance supplementing that which he had already given to the authorities. At any rate Shapiro has officially confessed, and the district attorney hopes his action will be the opening wedge to a solution of the men who killed Rosenthal and the men who financed the killing. Here is one of the most interesting details of the cleverly dovetailled movements of the plotters. The men that Shapiro drove from the Metropole after the revolvers had settled forever the question as to whether the gambler would inform further were not the same men, with one exception, that Shapiro drove to the hotel. The exception was the mysterious figure that accompanied Schepps and Vallon to the Considine resort. He was one of the men who fired a bullet into Rosenthal's head, and he strolled back to the gray car with a smoking pistol in his hand. As for the other murderers, Shapiro says, they squirmed and twisted away to safety through the shadows and the crowds. Lluetenant Charles A. Becker, with his attorney, John W. Hart, appeared at the criminal courts building and announced his willingness to go before the grand jury, waiving his immunity rights, and to answer any questions that might be put by the district attorney or members of the grand jury. Mrs. Herman Rosenthal appeared before the grand jury. She said that Becker received 20 percent of the profits of Rosenthal's gambling house, until "Bald Jack" Rose, Becker's collector, became too greedy and insisted on a rake-off himself. Then, said Mrs. Rosenthal, her husband was forced to get rid of Becker, although he never believed that Becker would interfere with the busness. And then she told about the raid. She said that Becker, an old friend of her's and Herman's, came to the gambling house, apologetically and with his hat in his hand. He was sorry, he said, clear down to the ground, but Waldo had ordered him to get Rosenthal and the job had to be done. Becker knew it was hard on Herman, the widow went on, but he wanted to do the right thing, and so he told Mrs. Rosenthal that Herman could forget the $1500 and that the mortgage would be canceled. Mrs. Rosenthal came to the building under the escort of a special officer detailed from the district attorney's office, and was accompanied by her sister. "Do you think the police would protect me from their own kind?" she asked a representative of the district attorney, "I am afraid of my life." "Since Herman was murdered," said Mrs. Rosenthal, before leaving her house. "the police made all kinds of efforts to see me. I have had high officials call me up. Why, Deputy Commissioner Dougherty tried to get me. Why should the police want to see me unless they wanted to find out how much I know before I should go before the grand jury?" HORSE'S KICK KILLS BABY Tiny Girl Seen Under Feet of Animal a Minute Too Late. Kkked by one of the heavy horses attached to a local brewery wagon, the fifteen-months-old daughter of Fellie Dilagrott, of West Berwick, Pa., was instantly killed. The child's neck was broken and her skull fractured at the base of the brain. No one saw the baby until she was under the horse's heels. Held For Murder of Young Bride. Tried before a magistrate, Joseph Smith, a shipbuilder, is being held in prison in Gloucester, Va., awakening the action of the grand jury, following one of the most cold-blooded murders committed in this part of the state in years.

THREE SCORE DEAD IN FLOODS Raging Streams Spread Death and Desolation. HUNDREDS ARE -HOMELESS Frenzied Inhabitants Make Mad Rush For Safety on Mountains — Many Buildings Wrecked.' Over sixty lives were claimed on Wednesday by floods and cloudbursts in southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and hundreds of homes and business houses were destroyed. Uniontown, Pa., leads the list of the known dead with fifteen. At Wheeling, W. Va., three were drowned; at Lemont, Pa., four were drowned; at Ellenwood, Pa., three persons were drowned, and thirty-six lives are reported to have been lost in other towns of the two states. Uniontown, Lemont, Mount Bradock, Connellsville and Dunbar, Pa., were inundated. In Turtle Creek Valley the damage is enormous and scores of families are homeless in the upper Youghiogheny Valley. Railroad traffic through a great territory is demoralized, especially as to Unontown, where the tracks of two railroads were town from their foundations. Several towns are without railroad, mail, telephone and telegraph connections. From West Virginia cities no reports can be obtained, because telegraph wires are down. It will be several weeks before the complete loss of life is known. Hundreds of families deserting their homes in a mad rush for safety on the mountain slides sought shelter beneath improvised shacks and tents, toward the construction of which every available piece of debris was turned to account. Shivering women and children gazed over a scene of desolation in the upper Youghlogheny Valley, and as the waters receded upturned dwellings, shattered buildings and crushed plumes of mortar were held in a mass by a railroad bridge or trestle. Heavy rocks have been split, heavy railroad iron has been lifted from almost solid beds and dropped into rivers, while on all sides deep scars mark the surface of the earth where the crowding waters have made new courses for themselves. Dunbar, near Connellsville, was inundated. The waters raged through the main streets, upsetting massive structures and endangering the lives of hundreds. A cloudburst was the cause, although it is thought the dam broke. The Turtle Creek Valley was visited by a disastrous flood, and the damage is enormous. Crops were blotted from the earth. At Evans Station, three miles north of Uniontown, Pa., a cloudburst sent waters raging into the mouth of the Superba No. 2 miles. Fourteen men were drowned like rates in a trap, while thirty-seven others had miraculous escapes from a similar death. A few miles away at Lemont mine No. 2 three other men are reported to have drowned in like fashion. An American miner employed at the Superba mine, who spent most of the night at the shaft of the Lemont No. 1, came away with information that no hope longer is entertained of the survival of Peter Evans, a pumper: John Scanlon, laborer, and an unknown foreigner in the Lemont. This would bring the total list of dead up to eighteen. Those who have penetrated the Superba mine come out with reports of almost indescribable ruin within the workings caused by the awful force of the inrushing waters. These yawning craters mutely told the cause of the disaster. It was hazardous to approach within many feet of the huge pits in the earth's surface. The largest of these was within 100 feet of the slope entry of the mine. It is a hole twenty feet in diameter, into which hay, timbers, rails and other obstructions had been hurled in the mad frenzy of relatives of the miners known to be in the workings when the first alarm of danger was seen. Their efforts to dam up the openings were most feeble in contest with the water. Parcels Post Plan In Senate. The postoffice appropriation bill, short of the good roads, provision proposed by the house and embracing a revised parcel post system, with charges based on zones of distance, was reported to the senate from committee. The appropriations carried are above those of the house measure, which were about $260,000,000. One of the principal increases is in the pay of railroads for transporting malls, the senate committee adding more than $2,500,000. In striking out the Shackleford road plans, which provided for federal improvement of highways, the senate committee reommends an investigation by a special commission The Barnhart amendment for the publication of the names of stockholders of newspapers and periodicals is changed to provide for publication once a year, when lists of the stockholders are to be filed with postmaster. The parcel's post section is radically different from that of the house bill, which provided a flat rate of postage for all distances. The senate provision is that of the Bourne bill, slightly 1910 McCombs to Lead Wilson's Fight. Colonel W. F. McCombs, of New York, who was manager of Governor Wilson's pre-convention campaign, was unanimously elected as chairman of the Democratic national committee in Chicago. Mr. McCombs, who succeeds Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, N. Y., thus will continue as the leader in the fight of the New Jersey executive for the presidency. His election has been expected, as it was understood that he was the general choice of the committee as well as of the nominee. Joseph E. Davies, of Madison, Wis., was elected secretary of the committee, succeeding Urey Woodson. Robert S. Hudspeth, the New Jersey national committeeman, said before the meeting that he had a verbal message from Governor Wilson, but no letter, to outline the candidate's ideas for the conduct of his campaign. John I. Martin, of St. Louis, was reelected sergeant-at-arms. Nine Swept to Death By Wall of Water It became known in Jacobs Creek, Pa, that nine persons had been drowned in Barren run on the farm of John Raymond. The dead are: Mrs. John Raymond, Mike Rovinsky, brother of Mrs. Raymond; Mrs. Rovinsky, mother of Mrs. Raymond; slx children of Mr. and Mrs. John Raymond. During a heavy storm which swept through this section, Raymond went from his house to the barn, located in a ravine near Barren run. He did not return, and after waiting for two hours, the wife, her children and the other members of the family became frightened and went in search of him. As they reached the ravine a wall of water swept down and carried them away. Raymond was safe in the barn and escaped. The bodies of four of the Raymond children were found. a mile and a half down the stream from where the home had stood. The house, too, was washed down stream and crumbled into debris against a clump of timber. Baby Found Strangely Wounded. Two thousand foreigners at Minersville, Pa., are greatly excited over the treatment accorded the four-year-old baby of Felix Ludnan. The child, when left alone for about ten minutes, was inflicted with wounds which resemble bites, but if they are bites they are apparently by some strange animal. The mother found the baby unconscious in the crib, turned crosswise, with a red bandana handkerchief soaked in water covering its face. When the mother lifted the handkerchief she found the child's face black. At the forehead the flesh was apparently chewed and a bigger wound of the same kind was found on the neck, and a still larger one on the chest. The little one's body was also badly bruised. Herbert Knox Smith Joins New Party. Herbert Knox Smith resigned as commissioner of corporations. For several days his name has been linked in gossip with the new party movement under Colonel Roosevelt. Mr. Smith announced to the president that he intended to support "the progressive movement and the new progressive party." Including "the principles I have earnestly tried to further, so far as I could, during my term of federal service." Luther Conant, Jr., of Massachusetts, deputy commissioner of corporations, probably will succeed him. Girl Shot by Playmate. Beulah West, nine years old, the daughter of James West, of near Piney Grove, Md., who was accidentally shot by her playmate at her home while playing with what was thought to be an empty shotgun, died in the Salisbury, Md., hospital. The entire gun load lodged in the child's body and she died from loss of blood. A negro ran wild in Tampa, Fla., and as a result four persons are dead. The negro was armed with a gun and shot down persons whom he ran across in his wild flight. Painless Extraction of Teeth Filling and Crowning Dr. Robert L.

Governor Wilson promised a delegation of colored men who waited on him last week, that if he was elected President, he would act like a "Christian gentleman" toward all men regardless of race. Now this sounds very nice, and doubtless if the New Jersey Governor could be elected President of the United States without at the same time putting the Democratic party in control of the government he might be able to live up to his very high standard of conduct. But there are some very important things which black men must bear in mind. There are many "Christian gentlemen" all over this country of the white race, but very few of them possess any especial prediliction for black folks—indeed, "Christian gentlemen" held slaves, wrote "Jim Crow" laws and disfranchised two million black Republicans at the South. At least we suppose they were "Christian gentlemen," since most of them are connected up with Christian churches. Mr. Wilson was born in Virginia —mark that if you please. Mr. Wilson has been the President of Princeton University, with its traditional Southern atmosphere, and had he not been in sympathy with Southern social standards, it is difficult to believe that he could have presided over Princeton so long. Mr. Wilson will have to do business with a cabinet composed of representative Democrats, and with the Democratic party in control of the executive departments of the government, and he working in harmony with his party, experience has taught us that black men will not fare very well under the Wilson regime. Let us not be carried off our feet by promises. We recall that a very prominent Democrat in Jersey by the name of Smith, brought Mr. Wilson into public life. Elected Governor, Mr. Wilson repudiated him. We recall that Colonel Garvey helped to finance Mr. Wilson's pre-convention fight for the nomination, only to be repudiated by him. And if this "Christian gentleman" will turn so suddenly upon white men and drive them from his presence after they have served his purposes, it hardly requires a prophet to foreshadow what will happen to black men who are deluded into supporting him, should he by any chance be elected in November. THE HORROR OF THE THING. A sixteen year old colored girl is to be electrocuted for alleged murder, at Richmond. Va., next month. She was only fifteen years old when the alleged crime was committed. The victim was a white woman, who, having locked the poor, ignorant colored girl in a room, and, accusing her of a theft the girl strenuously denied, began beating her. The girl, in self-defense, choked the white woman to death. She did not mean to commit murder, she only, as her ignorance and her penned-up condition suggested, meant to render her assailant dehors combat, as it were, so that she might make her escape from a beating at the hands of an infuriated white woman. It is easily to be supposed that had the girl been white she at least would not have been sentenced to death. The color of one's skin, alas, too frequently, either opens the door to liberty or closes it on freedom. A black skin shuts the door to liberty. Last week Mrs. Mary Church Terrell went to Rich- --- mond, Va., saw Governor Mann, and pleaded for a respite for the girl. If Mrs. Terrell had not done this that poor, ignorant colored girl, of just sixteen years, would have been electrocuted while the colored women, from every section of the country, were assembled at Hampton, Va., discussing and planning for race bettermen. What a horrible climax that would have been for such a gatiering. Mrs. Terrell deserves the thanks, and the praise of every colored man, woman and child for her earnest effort to save a life, and to get justice for an unaided, poor colored victim of rank race prejudice. Now the colored people of Virginia, and throughout the land, but especially of Virginia, should, if possible, place in Governor Mann's hands new evidence in order that this mere child may not be electrocuted. If her life is made to pay the penalty for being black and ignorant, as has scores of her race before, then the shame of the thing, and the horror of the thing. --- CALLED TO HOWARD. Prof. E. C. Williams, principal of the M Street High School, has been elected to a full professorship at Howard University. It is reported he has the acceptance under advisement. If the action of the colored trustees, in refusing to elect a colored man president of the institution, because "it is not time yet," but who, instead chose a white man without either experience or vigor, has any influence upon Prof. Williams, he will hold the acceptance of a professorship at Howard under advisement until he reaches the senile stage. How Howard University trustees can expect colored educators with experience, ability and the good red blood of manhood's state of vigor to bury themselves at an institution that limits the advance of a colored educator is beyond our ken. When such able educators as Professors Kelly Miller, L. B. Moore, George W. Cook, Dr. Tunnell and others with fame for experience and ability are pushed aside for a superanuated white minister long on years but short on experience, it can hardly be expected that educators of ability and experience will care to cast their lot with the colony of hope-bereft souls anchored at Howard University. And how soon will this feeling reach the student body and cause to be deflected from Howard hundreds of ambitious students who hesitate to matriculate in a university designed for, and studented by colored young men and women, but which draws the line? If Prof. Williams is as aspiring and ambitious as his ability and age ought to make him, the tender of a place at Howard, in view of the action of the colored trustees a few weeks ago, will not strike him, or any other colored educator, as very promising. And yet Howard University needs men of Prof. Williams' ability and vigor at its head too. DR. W. G. MASON. I The appointment of Dr. W. G. Mason, Collector of Internal Revenue, at Birmingham, Ala., will meet the approbation of every loyal colored Republican in the United States. President Taft could not do a better act than to make this appointment. If there is any opposition to this appointment of Dr. Mason it will be on account of Dr. Mason's color and that alone. He is one of the most polished orators in the United States and an accomplished scholar. What the administration has got to do is to appoint a Negro and back the appointment up if it requires the entire United States Army to do it. The time has come for the Southern Negro to be protected and recognized according to his merits. There are more colored appointments to be made in the South, and also all racial discriminations are to cease in the several departments of the government. The President has done everything to oppose the white South at all hazards, because he is grateful. The Birmingham Negro is of the opinion that Colonel Thompson's resignation will be an embarrassment to the administration. The Bee doesn't see why the administration should be embarrassed by removing its ememies. A few removals in the District of Columbia would give the atmosphere a healthy odor. ROOSEVELT AND THE PARTY. If the American people are fools, then they belong to the so-called third party. If the people remember that prior to and subsequent to the meeting of the National Republican Convention, held in the city of Chicago, June 18th, 1912, Mr. Theodore Rosevelt was a Republican and a member of that party. He found no fault within the party when he was nominated for Vice President in 1900, with the late President William McKinley, and his accession to the Presidency at the death of President McKinley, and neither did he find fault with the party when he nominated President Taft. Will Prophet Dixon kindly explain why his "Bull Moose" candidate finds that the Republican party is all wrong now? Will he explain why he wanted this so-called corrupted party to nominate him and why his managers wanted the tainted delegates to the late Chicago Convention to nominate him? What is wrong about the party now? It is the same party now and some of the same delegates. The Bee has every reason to believe that the American people have too much sense to throw this country into a panic by the election of some other man than President Taft: J. C. CUNNINGHAM Mr. J. C. Cunningham has sent a letter to The Bee this week in which he extols the virtues of some men and denounces others. The Bee will have to ask him if those whose virtues he extols are not as guilty as those he denounces? Will he deny that those whose virtues he extols have not received money also from the Democratic leaders? Will he deny that white Democratic leaders are not giving colored Democrats money to open Democratic headquarters and for other purposes? The Bee publishes his letter with hopes that he will answer this editorial. There are others equally as guilty. Mr. Cunningham was a Republican before he was appointed by a Democratic House. If it were race, The Bee's friend would not advocate democracy, because we know Mr. Cunningham has declared to The Bee that Democratic Chiefs in the Interior Department caused his dismissal from that Department as a laborer. DEFENSE OF MR. BANKS. The defence of Charles Banks which should have appeared in last week's issue of The Bee, but inadvertedly left out, appears in another column of this week's issue. Mr. Banks fails to explain why he failed to return to Chairman McKinly all of the one thousand dollars. The country would like to know Mr. Banks. PRESIDENT'S VICTORY. The election in November will be a surprise to those as was the re-nomination of President Taft. That the President will be re-elected there is no doubt. The American people have decided that the President has been brutally treated by those he has faithfully served, and that he is entitled to a re-election. President Taft will be triumphantly re-elected. --- An untruthful press agent is no good. Dr. James E. Shepard is still plugging along, nevertheless. You can't build yourself up by spending your time trying to pull others down. A man is not always as big as he imagines he is. It is other people who take measures by which the public judge. The little bunch of colored Democrats who daily hold communion with themselves in a room at Eleventh and You streets, ain't doing a frazzling thing, but spending their own wind, and the easy-mark white Democrats' money. It is best that the next colored member of the school board be a man who has neither sisters, brothers, cousins nor aunts to reward or take care of. Then the unrelated public will get a show. The Democrats have already elected Wilson as President. The Democrats always elect their President in July and August. The Republicans always wait until November, the legal election month, before electing the President. It is confidently expected that Willie Harris, Mrs. Harris' husband, will, by his lone little self, carry all the doubtful states. His influence with colored voters, whom he does not know, is so great that he can't figure out the extent himself. He has a wonderful little pill on his shoulders, but nary a vote, and nary a bit of influence. The Florida Sentinel's special edition was a "dandy." The beauty of it is that the entire issue—composition, presswork, binding and all—was gotten up by colored hands in a colored office. We congratulate Brother Lewey upon his splendid achievement. The story of Dr. Washington's tour of Florida was a notable feature. By vote of Wilberforce University, Register J. C. Napier is a "Doctor of Laws." He wears his new-found laurels with becoming grace and dignity. The real newspaper man never writes about himself. It is only the "hacks" who do. There is a journalistic tradition, unwritten, but inviolate never-the-less, that makes self praise half scandal. ANXIOUS ABOUT THE SAGE Washington, D. C., July 27, 1912. The Sage, of The Potomac: The Sage of The Potomac: I have been reading after you for the last year or so and have found your column very interesting and for the last two weeks I have missed it. I do hope you have not abandoned it as it kept the entire city guessing. For the sake of the public do not stop writting. I have addressed you thus as I cannot, from your writings, imagine you otherwise, although I might be drawing on my imagination. It cannot be possible that you have gotten entangled so much with the "Bull Moose" party until you are afraid to continue your writing for Calvin Chase's Bee. You have been censuring everybody else, for their short comings. Now, you are either taking a mighty long vacation or playing the baby act—, scared." Anyway I, among many, many others, certainly enjoyed your news every week, as it kept everybody on the anxious seat. If you should see fit to answer this, kindly do not use my name, as like a few of my race. I do not like publicity. I shall expect to see your column next week. Yours for success. Signed, blank. To the Sage of The Potomac, care Calvin Chase, 1109 Eve St., N. W. City, Monday, July 29, 1912. Dear Chase:— What about the Sage, what has become of it? Do not stop it old man, as we all miss it. It is one of the main attractions of the paper. Chase, start it again, I cannot associate any author with any one but our own stinging Chase. I know it is very hard on you keeping up so many things amid your political activities. But long may the Sage of the Potomac live to fight our many battles, and many cheers for your success. ONE CHARLES BANKS. (From The Light, Vicksburg, Miss.) "The Washington Bee, a noted Negro paper, brings forth a doleful dirge over the fall of 'one Charles Banks,' delegate at large from Mississippi. 'Standing,' says The Bee, "as a paragon of virtue before the convention, he is looked on by Negroes who hold virtue as higher than money, as another Judas, resurrected to discredit his race. The whole story will come out some day, and we opine when it does one Charles Banks will sink lower in the estimation of former friends and the race in general." in general. 'One part of 'the story,' which gives evidence of the Banks talent in playing the skin game, and also as a reader of human nature, has 'come out,' this way: In his famous published letter to Mr. McKinley, the dispenser of the Taft dough bag, announcing his flop to Roosevelt. Banks said he enclosed 800 of the dollars given him for expense money. But shrewdly calculating that Mr. McKinley could not afford to dispute with him on the trifling discrepancy, he did not enclose that or any other sum. Such is the story told by one of the returned delegates. It fits in with the common impression of Banks as a financier—that as an artist in In order to shed additional light on the "stunt" pulled qff by banker Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss., we quote the following from the New York Times: Mr. McKinley has refused to issue any official statement about the matter except the three-line one he gave out last night in which he bade the Roosevelt men welcome to anything they thought they could make by such tactics, but to the New York Times correspondent today he said: "Yes, I gave Banks money for traveling expenses. It amounted to $1,000. He returned $800, with the explanation that the other $200 represented $100 apiece given to two delegates who had failed to return it. These two, by a strange coincidence, are the only two Roosevelt men in the delegation besides Banks himself." That is all Mr. McKinley had to say, but from other sources it was learned that the delegation arrived in Chicago on Monday without any money and went to Mr. McKinley to get their expenses. They then learned for the first time that their expenses had been paid over to Banks months before. Banks arrived two days later, also broke, but the following day he seemed to have plenty of money. DR. U. G. MASON WILL PROBABLY SUCCEED JOSEPH THOMPSON. Negro Physician Looks Like Next Collector of Internal Revenue Here. S. T. WRIGHT OF FAYETTE, ALSO BEING MENTIONED. Secretary of Treasury Calls For Resignation and Is Refused Promptly. (From the Birmingham, Ala., News) Dr. U. G. Mason, a Negro physician of Birmingham, stands the best chance of obtaining the appointment as Collector of Internal Revenue for this district, to succeed Joseph O. Thompson, whose resignation has been requested by the Secretary of the Treasury. It is claimed by those on the "inside" that Mason, who was a delegate at large from Alabama to the Republican Convention at Chicago, has been expecting this appointment for some time. It is further claimed that certain Negro delegates were promised various slices of political pie in order to secure votes for Taft. Another man mentioned as a possibility is S. T. Wright, a member of the legislature from Fayette, and an active Taft Republican. Following Mr. Thompson's refusal to resign, it is believed President Taft will act promptly in removing him from office, and the name of Mason is expected to go before the senate in the immediate future. Mr. Thompson declined to further discuss the request for his resignation or his action in refusing to comply with it. In his letter to the Secretary of the Treasury he states boldly that he (the Secretary) and his department, represent one, of the chief causes of Taft's somewhat unsuccessful administration. The office of collector of internal revenue is not under the civil service and length of term is indeterminate. Y. M. C. A. SECRETARIES VISIT OUR NEW Y. M. C. A. BUILDING The secretaries who were in attendance at the annual summer school at Arundel-on-the-Bay, Maryland, stopped off at Washington and spent four days, from Saturday to Tuesday, as guests of the Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A. Lectures were given on the various subjects pertaining to Y. M. C. A. work, by Dr. J. E. Moorland, Mr. William Knowles Cooper, Mr. W. H. J. Beckett and Mr. Lewis E. Johnson. The secretaries present were Messrs, J. R. Pinkett, J. E. Olden, H. S. Dunbar, I. K. Merchant, J. H. McGrew, P. E. Goines, W. N. Saunders, R. E. Meroney, R. B. DeFrantz, W. S. DeBardelaben, W. H. Foster, S. S. Booker, W. R. Burden, A. F. Williams, and International Secretaries J. E. Moorland, R. P. Hamlin, J. B. Watson, C. H. Tobias and W. A. Hunton. On Sunday a special address was delivered by Dr. P. C'Connell, of Howard University. On Monday night a reception was given in honor of the visitors and they were introduced to the members of the branch. The spacious lobbies and front parlor of the association were beautifully decorated with flowers and plants, and made a very favorable impression on the large number of men present. Remarks of congratulations were made by Senator Smoot of Utah. Senator Crane of Massachusetts, Mr. William Knowles Cooper, Mr. C. N. Chase and Mr. Fishback The membership of the new Y. M. C. A. is rapidly increasing. The swimming pool is crowded with men every night, the dormitory rooms are being taken, and the outlook for a very successful season is very promising. Secretary Johnson says that the dormitory rooms are as neat and clean as well a staken care of by the occupants as any in the city, and that they are the subject of especial pride to the race on account of showing the high standard of home, life among the colored men. These rooms are open for inspection at any time. Do not forget the musical picnic given by the Washington Conservatory of Music. August 8th, at Eureka Park, Anacostia. GREAT WORK OF TUSKEGEE. What the Birmingham News Says of its Graduates Tuskegee, Ala., July 13—A recent investigation in the Birmingham district reveals the gratifying fact that the graduates and former students of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute are using their education in the ways intended by the officers of that institution. The question is often asked, "What becomes of the students who attend Tuskegee Institute?" To answer this question so far as the Birmingham District is concerned, a recent study and investigation was made It is found that the graduates of the Tuskegee Institute in the Birmingham District are working at the following trades: Agriculture, baking, blacksmithing, bookkeeping, brickmasonry, cabinet making, carpentry, carriage making, cooking, domestic service, dressmaking, stationary engineering, electrical engineering, firemen, horticulture, harness making, machinists, millinery, mining, molding, trained nursing, sawmilling, shoemaking, tailoring, tinsmithing, wheelwrighting and woodturning. Many of the graduates and former students are conducting businesses connected with some trade, such as the bakery business, blacksmithing and wheelwrighting, the florist business, millinery, printing, shoemaking, tailoring and tinsmithing. COLORED DEMOCRATS. Said to be After R. W. Thompson's Scalp—Mr. Thompson Remains As Messenger. R. W. Thompson, the newspaper correspondent, who has been the messenger of Assistant Secretary Bailey, of the Treasury was not taken by Mr. Bailey when he moved up. He was left to act as messenger for the new Assistant Secretary, Mr. Allen. Mr. Thompson has made one of the best and most attentive messengers in the Treasury Department. The Bee has heard the rumor that colored Democrats are collating the political correspondence sent out by Mr. Thompson to be filed with the Civil Service Commission along with protest against political activity. It is said that the action of the colored Democrats is prompted by the fact that Thompson entered the government service as a colored appointee under a Democratic administration, and they want to have proof that he is no longer a Democrat, should he try to get back into the ranks in case of Wilson's election. Mr. Thompson deserves promotion to a clerkship. His failure to pass the clerks' examination prevented his promotion. His record as a messenger has been good, it is claimed. DR. U. G. MASON FOR FEDERAL HONORS. (From Birmingham, Ala., Reporter) Quite a stir is afloat throughout Alabama this week and possibly throughout the nation, concerning the mention of Dr. U. G. Mason, of Birmingham, for Collector of Internal Revenue, the place that Mr. Joseph O. Thompson is now holding and has held for the past nine years. We must confess that the mention came as a surprise to us. We have never thought Mr. Taft would think of such strange political move at the almost destruction of his political life. We believe that it is one of the greatest and most timely political moves the President could make at this point, and since the mangle is to fall on one who has gone at every beck and call of the Administration, it has somewhat a taint of giving honor to whom honor is due. We don't believe Mr. Taft will appoint Dr. Mason or any Negro for that matter to an office that a white man is holding. It will take nothing but a Roosevelt to carry out such a thing. If Mr. Thompson is to lose the place it certainly could not come to a better and more prepared man than that of Dr. U. G. Mason. A man who cared, cherished and obligated himself when everything was pointing more favorably for him and his people to do otherwise. Now will be shown a clear example of Mr. Taft's inaugural address where he stated he would not make appointments of certain people if certain other people objected. He has a good chance now to say what his further intentions are. One man fighting him to the ditch and the other man supporting him from the word go—with the possibility of gaining a million or more votes from the colored race. With a man who would use good judgment, Dr. U. G. Mason has the best chance of any man aspiring for the position, and if he is appointed the Negro vote no doubt will be changed considerably. NEW HEADQUARTERS. The Personal Liberty League of which Mr. C. C. Curtis is national organizer, opened its new headquarters at 140 Carroll street, S. E. Thursday, July 31.

Dawson, the vice president, called the meeting to order. Rev. A. H. Strother, the founder of the First Baptist Church here and Chaplain of the Association, wished divine blessing upon the meeting. After reading and approving the minutes of the previous meeting unfinished business was taken up, and reports of the standing and special committees were called for. Mr. Frank Coalman, of the executive committee, reported the building of two bridges on Fairmount avenue, also the cleaning of the under growth on said avenue front Lyman avenue to the District Boulevard. Mr. W. H. Addison, of the school committee, made a good report of the work of his committee, the report being read by Mr. James F. Armstrong, the secretary of said committee and member of the Local Board of District School Trustees. Mr. C. H.

The Lee Faction Purchases a New Church—The Best and Most Influential Members Leave. The happy solution of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church is the purchase of the Guley Memorial Presbyterian Church by the best and most influential members. Attorney John Lee, who has lead the fight against the present encumbent of the Vermont Avenue Church, is an enterprising young attorney. Mr. James H. Winslow, the new treasurer is a man of considerable wealth and enterprise. There will be fully 800 members to leave the old Vermont Avenue Baptist Church and join this revolt. The Gurley Memorial Presbyterian Church building and site at Florida avenue and Bohrer street, a short distance east of 7th street, it is understood will soon pass into the hands of the Florida Avenue Baptist congregation, organized Sunday evening in Winslow's Hall, with a membership of 800 from the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. For some time it has been known in Presbyterian circles that the Gurley Church property was on the market, but only last evening, with the organization of the Negro congregation, did it become known that leaders in the movement had posted a first payment, so that the matter can be brought officially to the attention of the Gurley congregation. Will Seek New Location. Certain leaders of the Gurley Church are prominent in the negotiations, and expect to bring the matter formally before the congregation within a short time. Rev. Dr. J. Russell Verbrycke has been pastor of Gurley Church for a number of years, and it is expected that if the church is sold the congregation will pick a location for the proposed new church in the 16th street extended section of the city, or at least out on that thoroughfare, where the city is rapidly building. The moving of the congregation from the Florida avenue section of the city will, it is said, greatly relieve the situation which arises because of the fact that Gurley, Gunton-Temple Memorial, Northminster and Eckington Presbyterian churches practically surround a territory which leaders of the presbytery have all along maintained does not call for so many churches of the denomination. The 800-member of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church who enter the new congregation are not satisfied, it is declared, with the conditions in that church, which is an especially large one. They believe that with the numbers they have at present on the membership rolls they will be especially successful. Church Units Chosen. At the meeting of the new congregation yesterday, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor of the Second Colored Baptist Church, officiated. The following officers were selected: Deacons—James Langhorne, Maj. Towles. Essex Bogle, John H. Wright, Ellsworth Filmore, James I. McCallister and Lindsey Jones. Trustees—Jabez Lee, E. B. Reid, James Smallwood, E. J. Branch, James Jackson, Albert S. Harris and C. B. Braxton. Treasurer, James H. Winslow; church clerk, George Roys, and Sunday superintendent, Mrs. Rebecca E. Tolliver. THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Presidents and Secretaries of State Negro Business Leagues throughout the United States, as well as officers of local Negro Business Leagues, are busily engaged arranging for special Pullman, Tourist or Chair Car accommodations for delegates who plan to attend the Thirteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League to be held in Chicago, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 21st, 22nd and 23rd, 1912. It has been found that the passenger agents of the railroads are disposed to heartily co-operate in making such arrangements for delegates. The following recommendations are made for the benefit of those who have not already made plans for their State or Local delegations. In all cases make the special Pullman or Tourist Car party a personally conducted affair. Select the most attractive route for the going trip to Chicago to arouse interest among the delegates. Start early enough to permit stop-over at points of interest en route. The one in charge of the party should make a careful study of points of interest, etc., that he may in his correspondence, advertising and on the trip speak with authority. Get the active co-operation of all the railroads and especially of the initial line in your state. When you have decided upon the route, write (or better, see personally) the General Passenger Agent of that particular railway. Tell him you will undertake the work of securing a special car party to the Chicago meeting. If you have positive assurance of his active co-operation on the lines: (a) The railroad to furnish full information to all prospective members of the parties, giving data covering itinerary and points of interest en route to Chicago. (b) The railroad to circulate this information and itinerary with your cooperation among the members of your Local or State League. (c) The railroad to advertise the special Pullman or Tourist Car Party in all the Negro newspapers of the State. (d) The railroad to send instructions to its agents throughout your State to carry out the active canvass for members for party, with your co-operation. Persons intending to organize such Pullman or Tourist Car parties are urged to keep the corresponding secretary, Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute. Alabama, in close touch with their plans, so that he may assist in bringing parties in the same territory together. Attention to this request will be cordially appreciated. It will facilitate the whole movement. Delegates intending to be present should send early notice of such intention to S. J. Evans, chairman, Committee on Homes, 417 East 42nd Place, Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Evans and his committee will assign these various delegations in accordance with such instructions as may be sent them. The Chicago Negro Business League in planning for the social entertainment of the delegates has arranged an automobile tour of the city, taking in the various points of interest, the monster business houses, the Board of Trade, etc.; also for a boat excursion on Lake Michigan in honor of the delegates, and a banquet at the Seventh Regiment Armory on the last evening of the Convention. In addition to these these social features which have been arranged for the entertainment of the delegates, entertainments are also being arranged for at the various clubs of the city; a reception in honor of the wives of the delegates promises to be the event of the meeting. The daily sessions of the League will be held in the Pekin Theatre, 27th and State Streets. The program for the meeting will be issued from the press not later than August 1st. Instead of being closely confined to stories of personal "experiences" as in other years, specialists have been invited to speak on various subjects of commercial interest to the delegates: Messrs. J. Rosenwald, president of Sears; Roebuck & Company, the philanthropist; Edward B. Butler, of Butler Brothers, and a number of Chicago's most prominent business men, have been requested to be present, and deliver short addresses. Such addresses from these captains of industry and finance, should be most helpful. The morning session, Thursday, August 22nd, will be used altogether by the National Negro Bankers' Association. FINAL SECTION AT DURHAM. Dr. Chapman Makes Impression Photoratic Greeks. Durham, N. C., July 22.—Dr. W. E. B. DuBois' series of lectures at the National Religious Training School and the final lectures of Dr. W. Y. Chapman, the great pulpit-er and lecturer were the strong attractions at the school last week. The attendance of teachers from various sections of the country is so large that taxed the management of the school last week to accommodate the crowd. The school, this year has one of the most productive truck farms in this section of the country. The excellent and progressive wife of President Shepard, who is doing much to help make this great movement a success, early in the spring began this agricultural feature and gathered about her an energetic bunch of students and an experienced truck gardener. The local market has received many of the early vegetables from this farm and the boarders at the summer school and chautauqua are very happy because of the most excellent board made possible by Mrs. Shepard's splendid enthusiasm and energies. "Christ's Spirit Among the Greeks" was the subject of Dr. Chapman's lecture last Monday night. It was filled with the fundamental doctrines essential for effective work to be done by the large number of teachers and preachers and other religious workers who heard him. He vividly described what Greece had lent the present day civilization. Its grandeur during the days of its power and its present state were strongly contrasted. Athens and its great men whose intellect redeemed them from aimlessness and obscurity were eloquently depicted by the speaker. The fascinating life of the Greeks, whose hearts were not filled with divine inspiration and holy zeal, he exclaimed, were doomed to failure because intellect was worshipped by them and the God of the sons of Zion was divorced from their activities. He gave the following Biblical quotation to show how cheap brains are when they are not inspired by the Christ spirit: "I will raise up thy sons O Zion against thy sons O Greece." Informed by historical facts, the audience was given by Dr. Chapman, noble thoughts of the purity of the lives of the sons of Zion and the accuracy and the never ceasing power of God's word. The utter annihilation of the ancient Greek gods and the decadence of the empire, he said, was due to the fact that they did not have an objective religion—it did not have any permanency. By dethroning the laws that lead to peace and prosperity the Greeks became a weak people and Dr. Chapman took a strong look through the affairs of the American people and said: "If we become intoxicated with the lust for selfish gain and dethrone the principles upon which the government was founded, it would meet with a fate not desired. The continuity of the American nation depends upon holding on to the fundamental trues." The spirit of the plutocratic element of the Greeks made a chasm between them and the plebian element exclaimed Dr. Chapman and he continued by emphasizing that the same spirit is prevalent in this country today—the upper class usurping the rights of the common people; the class that is causing economic ills the country is suffering from and causing to rise up a few characters who are trying to fill up the chasm and bring together the two elements. He recited Burn's poem, "A man's a Man for a' That" to show the true spirit that one should be imbued with. The failure of a certain class of people to realize that God, out of one blood made all men, he strongly denounced. He again gave a strong warning to those who abridged the rights of a certain class of citizens and forget the principles upon which the country is founded, and said that every man regardless of his racial identity, as soon as he reached this country or touch its shores should feel its consecration to the fundamental principles of the Bible. This is the way conditions should be in this country. He uncompromisingly spoke of the necessity of the spirit --- Offers superior advantages for the training of young men and women in many departments of work.

Being of such complextion that he passes readily as white, as such he makes a name and place for himself in the world, socially and financially, finally marrying a white woman of refinement and wealth, to whom alone he has disclosed the secret of his birth. In his autobiography the burdensome secret of years is revealed and, incidentally, a half ironical joke is played on society. As a document it reads more strangely than fiction. But it is more, than a curious document: although intimately personal, personality is sunk in "raciality"—it might be called an initiation into the "freemasonry" of the Negro race. The Negroes of the United States have a pretty good idea of what white people think of them, for that opinion is being constantly stated, but the black race are somewhat of asphinx to the white. They have been written about often, but usually the characterizations have been so influenced by the prejudices of their individual writers, who take some one group of the race to prove their point and exaggerate vices and virtues accordingly, that as characterizations they are of little value. Nevertheless, what the ten million black people living in this country think of their white, neighbors is a matter of vital interest and importance. The work has plot only in the sense that the happenings of every life form, in a way, the plot of that life. It is the personality of the writer and the composite and proportionate presentation of the entire race, embracing all its various elements and showing their relations with each other and with the white race, that give the book a peculiar interest and value. This book is especially interesting to colored men and women of Washington for the reason that the colored people of this city furnish some of the strong incidents for the story.

The convention of the National Independent Political League, which is composed of Colored men, broke up yesterday afternoon with the withdrawal of nearly all the officers when a majority of the delegates voted down a motion to disband on the ground that the organization, by supporting Colonel Roosevelt, had reversed its original purposes. It was proposed by motion to condemn Colonel Roosevelt for the Brownsville discharge, but when the majority rejected this six of the officers, with a few followers, left the Zion Baptist church, Thirtenth and Wallace streets, and held a meeting at 1234 Melon street, and, there decided to call a new convention composed of those adherents who are willing to stand by the original principles of the league, to oppose both Roosevelt and Taft. After the break the majority attempted to persuade the officers and their followers to remain, but they left the convention after charging openly on the floor that the convention was dominated by men who tried to induce colored delegates to break their pledges and vote for Roosevelt at Chicago. The officers who left the convention were Rev. James Milton Waldron, of Washington, first president, re-elected national organizer; W. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, re-elected corresponding secretary and editor of the leagues organ, the "Guardian: William D. Johnson, of Winchester, Mass., a founder, elected second vice-president; Rev. Byron Gunner, of New York, a founder, elected fourth vice-president; Emery T. Morris, of Cambridge, Mass., national committeeman for three years, and a few delegates and minor officers. Those who have left the convention were especially bitter, and last night W. Monroe Trotter declared that they were opposed to both Taft and Roosevelt, since in the original draft of principles of the league they condemned both as candidates for the Presidency owing to the Brownsville discharges. At their meeting after the break, the bolters elected Mr. Gunner president and the others to their respective offices, adding W. W. Wilkerson, of Jamaica Plain, Mass., as treasurer. The majority body adjourned after considering the resolution presented to them by the minority members. They are headed by J. R. Clifford, of West Virginia, and will probably organize a party composed of colored men to fuse with the third party. There are about twenty-five men in the majority faction of the convention. 6.

ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. Dr. Norman Preaches to a Large Congregation. The pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, Rev. M. W. D. Norman, preached on the subject of Eternal Punishment to more than 1500 people, using as a basis of his sermon, the 9th Psalm, 17th verse: "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all nations that forget God." The speaker sald that resolutions passed by Bible societies or any other organizations denying the existence of hell-fire or eternal punishment may deceive, for a time, some people, but cannot in any way change or affect hell. There is, according to the scriptures, place of punishment as well as a place of rest. Heaven for the faithful; hell for those who reject salvation, is a reasonable proposition. The idea of punishment for sins committed is a principle which the Great Father has implanted in man. Conscience in every man's breast inflicts torture for iniquities perpetrated and it teaches the transgressor when he hears God's voice in the thunder or beholds a remarkable display of divine power to tremble in the apprehension of suffering the wrath of God. Guilt makes man stand in fear of punishment. In many cases conscience sleeps while life lasts, and we must conclude then that it will be aroused in another world—that other world is the place of eternal punishment. The horrors of hell in my opinion, may be inferred from the greatness of salvation or the efforts put forth to save man. The Bible clearly teaches that there is a place of torment, or eternal punishment. It is true that the original words may be translated and often correctly, the grave, but in many other places of eternal punishment. The most awful things in the Bible concerning the punishment of the wicked are the words of Jesus, who was love incarnate, but He spoke of "outer darkness, weeping, walling, and nashing of teeth, a place of torment, the worm that dieth not, the fire that is not quenched, everlasting punishment, eternal damnation." This eternal punishment is not reformatory. There are no reformatory institutions in hell; no Holy Spirit there to apply the saving touch. It is true that the language of the Scripture which describes the future misery is figurative, but the figures convey imperfect ideas of the reality so that the term "fire" is not an exaggeration. Why pay to per cent when you can get it for 3 per cent. M. K. FULTON It actually comes short of the real punishment. Of what elements the future misery will consist I can not tell, but it must include remorse, the deep sense of divine wrath, the absence of all enjoyment and of all hope. God does not send men to hell but they, the wicked, go in spite of Him, and in spite of the chuch and in spite of all the influences brought to bear to save them from eternal punishment. Mr. J. J.

THAW. Again Loses Fight For His Liberty. 1912 by American Press Association. 1912, by American Press Association. Thaw Goes Back to Asylum. Harry K. Thaw, in the eyes of the law, is still insane and must remain in the asylum where he was placed on Feb. 1, 1908, after he had killed Stanford White. Justice Martin J. Keogh, of the New York supreme court at White Plains, denied Thaw's application for freedom. The court took the ground that Thaw's release would be dangerous to public safety. The proceedings lasted for several weeks, and among the witnesses was Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, wife of the prisoner. The decision of Justice Keogh denying liberty to Thaw in his third effort to escape from the madhouse was brief. It held that the applicant had not proved his sanity. Justice Keogh said: "My whole duty is fully performed when I decide the single question presented for decision, namely: 'Is Harry K. Thaw at present sane or insane, and would his release be dangerous to the public peace and safety?' Having listened to all the testimony and seriously considered it, I am of the opinion that Harry K. Thaw is still insane and that his discharge would be dangerous to the public peace and safety. The writ, therefore, must be dismissed on the merits and Harry K. Thaw be delivered to the authorities at Matteawan." The contention of his counsel was that Thaw was suffering from insane delusions when he killed White, but that the insanity was temporary only. T. R. Men Call Penna. Convention. Roosevelt followers of Pennsylvania and all "the Progressives of Pennsylvania, without regard to previous party affiliations," are invited by the Progressive national committee for Pennsylvania to participate in the Pennsylvania Progressive state convention to be held in Chicago on the morning of Aug. 5. The national Progressive convention opens later on the same day in Chicago. This invitation, signed by the Progressive national committeemen for Pennsylvania, E. A. Van Valkenburg, William Flinn, Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester of the United States, and William Draper Lewis, dean of the University of Pennsylvania's law school, announced also that at the Pennsylvania mass convention the delegates to the national Progressive convention would be selected. These national committeemen announced that, while Pennsylvania would be entitled to but thirty-eight votes' in the national convention, a larger number than that might be selected as national delegates, each delegate to have an equilable voting power. John Mitchell Gets Nine Months. John Mitchell, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, was sentenced in the District of Columbia supreme court in Washington to nine months' imprisonment for contempt of court, growing out of the Bucks' Stove and Range company case. An appeal wa staken and $4000 ball furnished to abide by the decision of the upper court. In the same case Samuel Gompers, the president, recently was sentenced to one year, and Frank Morrison, the secretary, to six months. Mr. Mitchell was not in court, but sent a written statement walving his right to be present. He was to have been sentenced last week, but Justice Wright then declined to pass sentence because he objected to the form of waver submitted for Mr. Mitchell. Bishop Warren Dles. Bishop Henry W. Warren, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who was retired from active work by the general conference last May, died in Denver, Colo. The bishop was stricken with pneumonia a few days ago. Immediate relatives and the bishop's physician were at his bedside at the time of the death. The widow, who had been in constant attendance upon the noted divine since his illness, was prostrated and is under a physician's care. "Undesirable" Kills Immigration Officer H. G.
