VOL. XXXIII. NO. 28 BUSINESS LEAGUE The Largest Meeting Ever Held—Great Speeches by Great Men—Dr. Charles H. Marshall Presides. Ovation for Dr. Washington—President Freeman's Introductory Address—An Excellent Program—Informal Luncheon, Eto. Howard Theater was a scene last Saturday evening, when fun was dispensed with for a time and business among Negroes was discussed. The occasion was a meeting of the local Negro Business League. Seated upon the stage were Dr. R. T. Washington, Revs. Ross, Howard, Judie. Terrell, Assistant U. S. Attorney, Cobb, Rev S. L. Corrothers, Attorney, T. L. Jones, W. Calvin Chase, and R. W. Thompson, Dr. Geo W. Cabanes, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, R. C. Bruce, Dr. Charles H. Marshall, Daniel Freeman, Dr. Julia Coleman, Register J. C. Napier, W. R. L. Smith, and many distinguished visitors were in the audience President Daniel Freeman, of the local Business, League, called the meeting to order, and in a well prepared address briefly stated its object, President Freeman is making the local league a great success, and there is no doubt but that he will have a membership from two to three hundred by the middle of next year. There is no man working harder, to bring the local league up to a high standard than President Freeman and his able assistant, Dr. Julia Coleman, is working equally as hard. She is a most competent secretary, and she did much to make the present meeting at Howard a success. At the conclusion of President Freeman's address the Howard Orchestra, which had rendered several excellent musical selections, rendered very sweetly another musical number, after which Dr. Charles H. Marshall was introduced as master of ceremonies. He refrained from making a speech, but introduced Mr. R. L. Smith, of Texas, who delivered an excellent address. He was followed by Register J. C. Napier, who urged upon the people to make the local league a success. At the conclusion of his address, Dr. Booker T. Washington was introduced, and for two minutes he received an enthusiastic ovation from the vast audience. His address was modest, logical eloquent and instructive. His advice was practical, and those who failed to hear him missed a great treat. For three quarters of an hour he held his audience spellbound. He colored a work of the league, and paid a deserving compliment to President Freeman and Secretary Coleman, and urged the people to support them and the league. He gave many illustrations to show how successfully the Negroes were progressing in business. He complimented the work of the Negro business men in the South, and advised the Negroes to get down to business. His many jokes elicited much enthusiasm and applause. He was followed by Mr. R. C. Bruce, who was enthusiastically received. His address was timely and eloquent. He paid a high tribute to Captain Oyster. Dr S. L. Corrothers followed, and made one of his usual characteristic speeches, and received great applause. At the conclusion of Rev. Corrothers' speech, W. Calvin Chase made a motion, which was seconded by Attorney Thomas L. Jones, endorsing Captain James F. Oyster for a Commissioner of the District of Columbia. There was not a dissenting vote when the motion was placed before the vast audience. Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, Miss Lolo Johnson, and Miss Edna Gordon rendered some excellent vocal and instrumental selections, and Miss Ligans and Malone. The Howard Theater orchestra and selections by the Azalia Mandolin and Guitar Club. Twenty-five cents' admission didn't deter the crowd that greeted Dr Washington and the Negro Business League, and much credit should be given to the officers and members of the league for the success of last Saturday night's meeting. A Plum For Langston's Son. (From the Oklahoma American.) Mr. Ralph Langston, a son of the late distinguished Negro Republican orator and statesman, the Hon. John M. Langston, is being strongly boosted for one of the choicest jobs within the gift of the incoming Democratic administration. Mr. Langston, is said to have organized the first Negro Wilson-Marshall Club in New York City, and also to be one of the few Democratic Negroes whose names do not appear on the payroll of the National Democratic Committee. DR SHEPARD WITHDRAWS. ENDORSED BY - MASONS. Asheville, N. C., Dec. 12. The following resolution was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted by the grand lodge of F. & A. A. Masons, holding their forty-third annual session in this city: "This will say that the Grand Lodge of F. & A. A. Masons extend to Dr. J. E. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C., a vote of confidence. That we believe and know him to be a conscientious Christian gentleman, a patriotic citizen, and unselfish, broad minded man of the highest quality of Christian character, and as such we commend him and his work to the favorable consideration of all men of the country, and that aid of any kind given him or his work will be most favorable bestowed, and will be to the highest good of his people whom he is laboring to, help elevate in Christian character and usefulness." ST. LUKES AT JOHN WESLEY CHURCH. A Great Meeting Sunday—Mrs. Anderson's Work—Mrs. Chase Wins Laurels. Last Sunday afternoon the St. Luke were the guests of John Wesley M. E. Church, 18th Street near L. The exercises were of a high order. Rev. Wim. Walker led the devotional service, followed by an eloquent and scholarly address of welcome by the pastor. Rev. W. C. Brown, to which Mr. Alex. S. Richardson responded on behalf of the Independent Order of St. Luke. Mrs. B. B. Anderson, district deputy, acted as presiding officer, and conducted the exercises in her usual graceful and tactful way. Mrs. M. E. Griffin read, a well written paper, and Rev. L. C. Moore delivered one of his stirring speeches, full of fiery cloquence in which he pleade for more race pride and co-operation. Mrs. Cleo. Hatcher sang a beautiful solo, which was followed by an address from Miss M. A. D. Madre, who, in her charming voice and perfect diction, gave a brief history of the order, showing its benefits and security and how justly the organization should appeal to the confidence and support of all who favored the onward and upward movement of the colored race. Mrs. A. V. Chase is entitled to unusual credit for the exquisite rendition of a selection in which music and cloquence were happily blended. The effort displayed rare native ability, and the power of culture, and was quite novel and entertaining to the audience. The Musical Club, of which Mrs. Chase is directress, rendered several different sacred numbers. Miss Beatrice L. Chase presiding at the church organ. The pastor of the church was so well pleased with the excellence of the sacred concert and the refined moral and religious tone of the literary work that he gave assurance that should the St. Lukes visit his church again they would be gladly received by an overflowing house. OKLAHOMA CAPTURES THE CONGRESS Eighth Annual Session of Sunday-School Workers Will Assemble at Muskogee—Young People of Twenty Thousand Sunday Schools of the National Baptist Convention Will Observe Golden Jubilee Commemorating the Fifty Years That Have Lapsed Since the Emancipation Proclamation Was Issued By the Immortal Abraham Lincoln. Nashville, Tenn., Dec 17th. Muskogee, Oklahoma was unanimously awarded the meeting of the Sunday School Congress for 1913. This action, which was taken by the joint boards in session here, was in keeping with the endorsement of Oklahoma by the special committee that was canvassing the invitations which came from such cities as Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Ft. Worth, Cincinnati, Memphis, Washington, Atlantic City, and Binghamton. The boards in charge of the congress, after reviewing the committee's recommendations, declared Muskogee the winner, because of the inducements offered and the geographical location, together with the withdrawing of Texas, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri from the race in favor of Muskogee. The date of the Congress stated the secretary, Henry A. Boyd, will be from the 4th to the 9th of June, inclusive. He said the Board had decided that the congress this year, as for the past several years, would embrace the second Sunday in June, which is generally observed by the National Baptist Convention as Children's Day. The last session of this national gathering of Sunday school workers was held at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and while they were in session several telegraphic invitations, supported by a special delegation from Oklahoma, with invitations, were received inviting the Eighth Annual Session to come West and see the possibilities for future development of religious Sunday school work. 1930 MR. W. V COX. and highly respect of the highest One of the most influential and highly respected citizens of Washington. A Democrat of the highest-t integrity. A Great Executive Officer. Mr. M. V. Cox, president of the Second National Bank, is a wideawake and progressive citizen. There is no man in this city who has the interest of the people more at heart than he has. Whatever he undertakes to do, he goes right ahead and does it. President-elect Wilson is to be inaugurated not only by Democrats, but by Republicans as well. It was a Democrat who headed the Taft inaugural committee. What difference does it make whether he is a Democrat or a Republican, the Democrats intend to control the entire patronage under the next administration. If then cannot agree, on Mr. Jordan, why not select Mr. Cox, who is a high-toned and progressive Democrat. The Bee, while it is a Republican journal, is as much interested in the success of the inauguration of Mr. Wilson as any one else. Then, again, what is the trouble with Mr. Jordan? Mr. Costello has made an excellent selection. No one, for a moment, can question the leadership of Mr. Costello.

MR, M, V, COX. has never been a more level headed man at the head of our local Democracy than Mr. Costello. He was elected by the Democracy of this city and made a national committee man. His recommendation ought to go. The recommendation of all National Committeemen ought to be taken, in the absence of any other representative. The Bee can only suggest to its Democratic friends that either Mr. Cox or Mr. Jordan will make a good inaugural chairman The James Fund Board met in the White House, President Taft presiding. Present: Dr. Booker T. Washington Dr. D. R. Wissell, of Hampon Dr. H. T. Keeling, Mr. George Foster Peabody, Mr. R. L. Smith, of Texas, Dr. Jas H. Dillard, president of the board, Dr. S. C. Mitchell, of South Carolina, Mr. J. C. Napier, and Major R. R. Moten. The board appropriated $36,375 for the salaries of 109 supervising teachers in 109 counties of the South. The President made a most earnest plea for the country districts, empha- THE BEE The Jeanes Fund Meeting. sizing what the board has and is doing to educate the white people to the needs of the Negro Dr. Washington emphasized the need of a more hearty co-operation between the people engaged in Negro education and the school officials of the South. The board passed a resolution thanking the Phelps-Stokes Fund for a donation of $2,300 for three years to be used by the board. This was added to the amount appropriated by the board. "Since Hector Was a Pup." (From the Oklahoma American.) The news comes from Washington of dissensions in the ranks of the Negro Democratic organization, on organizations perhaps, as there are several. The difficulty arises over the disposition of Rev. Waldron to show favor and cater to the Negroes whose Democracy is so recent, it bears the lustre and value of a newly coined penny just from the mint. The claim is made that the Reverend is boosting the fledglings by placing them on important committees, and in a manner build bridges over the noses of those Negroes, who delight in boasting of a Democratic record reaching as far back as the early youth of Hector as a pup. These aspiring and possibly per-piring Negro Democratic patriots are lined up in two societies. The National Personal Liberty League is one, and The National Independent Political League is the other. It is the general sentiment at Washington that all the big positions in the department held now by Negroes will be filled by white men after President Wilson is inducted on March 4th nest. Colored Consuls Transferred to Better Stations. In the shift of American Consuls made by the State Department, James W. Johnson, now consul at Corinto, Nicaragua, is transferred to St. Michaels, Spain, and Wun J. Yerby, of Tennessee, is transferred from Sierra Leone, West Africa, to Mersina, Turkey. Both of these colored Consuls "o to a more desirable post than heretofore stationed. Ralph Tyler interested himself some time ago looking to having Mr. Johnson transferred to a better post, and Mr. J. C Napier did a like service for Mr. Yerby. The nomination of both these consuls went to the Senate Tuesday, and confirmation is expected to follow in due time. THE COMMISSIONERSHIP There are many candidates for District Commissioner. As The Bee stated some time ago, that the President, had decided to appoint Mr. Rudolph and Captain Oyster. The Bee is still inclined to believe that the President will give the people men of their choice. It is now stated that the President is considering the name of Mr. Callahan. The Bee hopes that the President will not appoint this man who doesn't believe that a colored citizen is good enough to be rented a state room on any of his boats from this city to Norfolk, Va. Mr. Callahan will not rent a state room to any reputable colored citizen. What would be Mr. Callahan's conduct toward colored citizens if he were appointed commissioner of the District of Columbia? The Bee hopes that the President will not appoint any more Negro haters to public office under his administration. The Negro is oppressed enough by his enemies. Let us have a man who believes in equality of citizenship. There is no question as to the appointment of Mr. Rudolph, but there is a question as to the Democratic Commissioner. There is no reason or excuse why the President should not appoint Captain James F. Oyster. CHRISTMAS JOYS AND SORROWS. Christmas, and there's many a stocking hanging empty on the wall. Many heartsease, hungry children tearfully watch the snowflakes fall: While the rich are carrying presents to their friends in autos swift, Little starving souls are craving just one little Christmas gift. In the heart of big rich cities, where there's Christmas joys galore. There's also the poor, the needy, and the wolf stares at the door: Then remember you're able, pass good cheer around, give a lift To the helpless ones who're crying for one little Christmas gift Christmas chimes are merrily ringing, choirs take up the glad refrain. Joyfully they chant the story of the Christ Child over again; Christmas, may the Christ Child spirit give good cheer to all mankind. Santa Claus for the Colored Social Settlement. In your plans of preparation for the joys of Xmas, will you not include a donation in cash, in groceries, or toys to make happy the hearts of those less fortunate than yourself?

HomeComfort From Christmas Gifts Nothing can earn higher appreciation than the gifts which add to the comfort and attractiveness of a home. They show that you have given with thought and with the true Christmas spirit of helpfulness. For your own home you want good values, and if there's one time above all when you wish to be absolutely sure of quality, it's when you give to others.

In order to accomplish some definite thing, each league should have a regular time for meeting. 2nd. A regular program should be mapped out in advance of each meeting. 3d. Each league should have a special attractive place to meet in. 4th. Each league should consider carefully what the organization can do to promote the welfare of the community in business and commercial directions. There never has been such commercial prosperity existing throughout the country as is true today, and our people should share in this prosperity. It is largely through the help and leadership of each Local Negro Business League that they will be able to do so. If your league has not had a meeting for sometime, see that one is called at once and new life is put into the organization. Persons desiring to organize new Local Negro Business Leagues may secure information by writing to Mr. Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. (Signed) BOOKER T.

Taking a lesson from the present great struggle in the east, Secretary Stimson says: “The amount which we have permit- ted to accumulate would be insufficient for a single engagement of the chur acter of the engagements in either the Russo-Japanese or the present Balkan war.” : Dealing first with purely military subjects, the secretary states that the strength of the regular army at the beginning of the present fiscal year ‘was 82,305, an increase during the year of 189 officers and 7854 enlisted men He says the spirit of the personnel cl the army continues to imprqye, at- tributable not only to the work of the service schools and the general staff, Dut to the practical opportunities af- forded by the recent maneuvers and changes In organization and methods. In treating of the morals of the army, Secretary Stimson asserts his belief that the so-called Anti-cantcen legislation has-been responsible for much vice, a statement which he sup- ports by a recital of the results of bis own inspection of forty-nine of the mobile army posts, where he found the military reservations adjoined ‘by dives and fil resorts of the vilest char- acter. These conditions he belleves to be the ultimate causes “which make the record of our army in this respect shameful beyond that of the army of any civilized nation.” The immediate completion of the Bests at Panama and Hawail he strongly urges as by far the most important items of military expend!- ture for the immediate future. It is sald that the locks and machin- .ery of the Panama canal already have Teached a condition of extreme vul- nerability in case of sudden attack, yet no greater force can be sent there than the one regiment now on guard until new quarters are constructed for them, and the secretary urges that such works should begin at once. A strong plea fs made for the pas- sage of the militia pay bill, now pend- ing, because the 120,000 men now in the National Guard, eager and ambl- tious to be of service in case of war, re practically unavailable under pres: ent conditions. Theso men, the secre tary says, should not only be trained for war in Ume of peace and paid by the national government, but it mus! be possible to transfer them Imme lately into the general military force: and not militia In time of war. In connection with the subject the secretary also recommends the pas sage of the pending volunteers’ bill which would not entail a dollar of ex pense upon the government at this time or in the future until war comes PEACE IN BALKANS NEAR Delegates of Allies and Turks to Meet In London. . ‘The peace plenipotentlarles repre senting Turkey, Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro will begin their work in London on Friday of next week.

C., - November 30, 1912. To the Editor: . Senator Isadér Rayner, of Mary- land, is dead—dead as a doornail—and buried. [is passing removes from life’s activities a man of ‘massive jn- tellect, broad scholarly attainment, an ardent painstaking worker—and an enemy of the,Negro race. Whatever friends, relatives or the nation at large’ may think of the late Senator's demise, by the Negroes of the nation that event will be viewed with thoughtful silence as befits the pres- ence of death, and that is all. Not one solitary tinge of regret will enter any dusky bosom anywhere upon the face of the whole globe. 1am goirig to invite your attention to the following letter written by me to Senator Rayner not quite a year agoz. Washington, D. C. Dee. 20, 1911. ~ Hon. Isador Rayner, United States Senator, Washington, D. C. Dear Senator: . Tt might be considered an odd coin- cidence that the same ‘newspaper which published reports of your im- passioned speech in the Senate yes- terday on the abrogation of the Treaty of 1832, contained also an item that at_a meeting of colored citizens the night before (Dec. 18th), held in commemoration of the forty- sixth anniversary of the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, “A resolution was passed commending the action of the House of Repre- sentatives and President Taft in their action qn the Russian passport con- troversy.” As one who is known in this com- munity as “a colored man,”*it is pe- culiarly pleasing to me to be able to point to the action of my fellow citi- zens on a question which scesns so full of vital interest to you and other members of the Jewish race, as well as to the nation at large. In this connection I recall—(it somewhat bitterly, you will pardon, won't you?)—that it was no lesser person than the distinguished Sena- tor from Maryland who a few short years ago referred to the colored cit- izens of this country as beasts. It was you also who on February 28, 3911, during the debate on the direct clection of senators bill and the Sutherland amendment thereto, refer- red impatiently and contemptuously to the bill which was introduced to xive effect to the very” amendments which so many noble Jews fought and died to place onto the Constitution of our common country. You called it a Forcg Bill, hooted its principles, and characterized as “a dead issue buried beyond the chance of political resur- rection,” a measure which was de- signed to perpetuate unto my ances- tors and their children, that very same iair play which is now being sought for you and yours. I wonder, sir, ii you are not ashamed of your record? The resolution 1 quote from above shows that men of a beastly race (so you put it) have soared far above and beyond you toward a realization of that broad humanity which is one of the fundamentals of ¢he magnificent race of which you are an energetic, though not entirely -creditable, mem- ber. Personally I honor the Jews and revere the history which their fathers have made. ...... In my opinion they are a grand and noble people. and never as long as I live will I I charge against the Jewish race any of the ignoble deeds against my people which have been committed by you. Your most humble servant. (Signed) JAMES C. WATERS, JR. 1339 T Street, N. W. As was to be expected the Senator The American Home Life Insurance - . ‘Sth and GSTREETS,N. W.

It was my intention to lay the whole matter before the Senator and the public this winter. ‘Before I could execute my plan, death has intervened *and I therefore pub- lish the above letter at this time. On the evening of October 7, 1912, during his debate with W. Bourke Cochran, at the Lyric, in Baltimore, Senator Rayner said:, i (Speaking of the Recall.) “If I ad- vocated such a policy here in Mary- land, it would be my political doom. So it will be for any man who stands up, and proclaims it before an audi- ence which knows that such recall will be passed upon by 60.000 Negro vo- ters, most of whom, don’t know the Constitution from a hungry dog.” And the Senator shook with fire, says the Baltimore Sun, as he made this as- sertion, with his arms uplifted and his face flaming with intense feeling. + The crowd yelled “Go at them, Sen- ator. Strike it home,” while Mr. Rayner made some further observa- tions about those “60,000 improvident, ignorant (Negro) voters.” Senator Rayner declared he opposed the Recall because it was a surren- der to the mob, and yet at the same moment he worked the mob of iguor- ant white men which packed that theatre into a wild frenzy by his men- dacious referentes to the political rights of the millions of Negroes in this nation. Senator Rayner referred to “60,000 ignorant Negro voters” ins Maryland, when on April 15, 1910, the census shows that there were only 42,289 il- literate Negroes in the whole State. and this figure includes both males and females 10 years of age and oyer. Subtract from the number given all the females and then subtract the males between the ages of to and 21 years; and yo will see how many il- literate Negro voters are to be in- eluded in the total of 63.963 Negroes of voting age in the entire State of Maryland. Now as to whether illit- eracy and ignorance mean the same thing in a matter of this kind, o1 meant the same thing in the mind of the Senator. there need ‘be no_hair- splitting at this time. It is a safe bet any hour of the day or night that the Negro proletariat. in “Maryland is about as well equipped for the exer- cise of the franchise as the average white man in the State, and be it re- meinbered that there are 30.999 white people in Maryland who do not know “A" from a bull's foot, this in spite of their opportunities as broad as the nation itself. Such a man, therefore, was Rayner. In the death of Senator | Rayner, while the Negro in America is reliev- ed of an untiring enemy and agent of destruction, we have heen given a sign and a warning which every black man and woman in, this realm must heed. All the_ newspapers, from Great Lakes to Guli, and from Coast to Coast, without regard to political affiliation, have joined in one mighty paean made up, of notes of praise of the man for his rich gifts and the use he made of them, as well as sadness and regret at his taking off.

The marriage of Jack Johnson to a white woman prompted him to uncork his hatred for the Negro race, and give vent to his feelings in favor of race discrimination in a vitrolic speech on the floor of Congress last week. He seems to labor under the impression that Jack Johnson is representative of the best morals in our race. It has been aptly said that "one swallow does not make a summer." Neither do the atrocious crimes committed by the Los Angeles dynamiters, or the crime instigated by Lieut. Becker and committed by "Gyp the Blood," "Lefty Looie," et al. represent the best morals, or moral tendency of the white race. And neither does Jack Johnson, who flaunts his immorality in the face of a decent public, represent, in the remotest degree the best morals of the Negro race. We might remind the hot-headed Georgian that the per cent of crimes, of all description, or of any one particular description, committed by the Negro race is very much lower than the per cent accredited to the high cultured, far advanced white race. Not during their abject subjugation, or later unjust discrimination, has such crime-wreaking organizations like the Molly McQuires, Mafia, Black Hand or dynamite conspirators found membership among the Negro race. Jack Johnson has been as bitterly excoriated by his own race as by the whites. He is a low type the low white men have developed—the white men with sordid motives who invest in brute force and immorality to earn big dividends. The respectable white women need stand in no fear of marriage to Jack Johnson, or any of his type, and it is a serious question but what it is a reflection, gross reflection, cast upon them to propose legislation against intermarriage upon the erroneous assumption that pure, high moral white women may fall victims to the wiles of some black brute Othello. Jack Johnson is one more confirmation of "a fool and his money," and but one more confirmation of "neither morality or immorality is monopoly of one class or one peoples" The colored people in this country are opposed to legislation against intermarriage for the reason that it does not go far enough, and will not cure or prevent the evil at which it is aimed. The respectable element of the race, which includes the majority, favors, and will welcome legislation against illicit intercourse between whites and blacks. They desire this legislation not as a protection against respectable white women, for we believe it would be an unneeded protection and a reflection upon them, but colored men and women want this legislation to protect the purity of their own women in the South, where they have no rights a white man is bound to respect. If Congress will pass a law against illicitness, between whites and blacks, it will have the effect of greatly reducing the number of mulattoes in the South, which the last census showed was increasing rapidly. The first colored men and women imported to this country, and held as slaves in the South, were pure, unadulterated blacks. During slavery, and since, these blacks have evolved into a mulatto race—thousands of them are lily-white. Who is responsible for this evolution? Surely it is no freak of nature. But the colored race should no more be judged by the acts of an immortal brute like Jack Johnson than the white race should be judged by the McNamara's, "Gyp the Blood," "Lefty Looie," or the finely educated ecclesiastic white superintendent of a white school for girls in a Southern State who recently confessed to ruining several of the pupils under him, and that too, without having his confession followed by lynching. As an indication of how the better element of the colored race regard Jack Johnson's flaunting of his immorality, it might be cited that when he married the white woman (and she belonged to the same underworld to which Johnson belongs), his colored attorneys, W. B. Anderson, and E. H. Wright, two of the best known and best equipped attorneys practicing before the Illinois courts, had their names stricken from the records as counsel for Johnson. The decent colored man, like the decent white man, honors, respects and will protect the virtue of women regardless of color. The low, immoral white man, like the black man of the same type, places no premium on woman's virtue. Crime in this country is not indigenous to race. Jack Johnson is not regarded as a hero, but a pariah among respectable colored men and women. IS FRED MQORE IGNORANT? The New York Age, in an editorial last week; taking exceptions to The Bee's recent criticism of a proposed political dinner to Bishop Walters, went out of its way to state that the editor of The Bee was as "ignorant as venomous." Now, when it comes to ignorance; Fred Moore, the alleged editor of The Age, holds the medal among Negro editors. If he can talk five minutes without murdering the English Language, or write a five line editorial, gramatically or etymologically correct, the editor of The Bee will disagree with all those who regard Mr. Moore as the last say in ignorance. It has always been a marvel to many how a man of his very limited ability could become editor of so well known a newspaper as The Age. It has been a common saying that "God could not make Fred Moore an editor, but Booker Washington did." However, we do not believe Dr. Washington had anything to do with it. We advise Editor Moore to ignore the use of the word "ignorant" for fear he will indict himself on the same charge. He does not, and cannot write The Age's editorials. The Editor of The Bee writes his own editorials, and there is nothing ignorant in them. The Editor of The Bee has as high regard for Bishop Walters himself, as a man, as The Age, and he has never "worked" the bishop for campaign or any other funds. Fred Moore should attend the primary department of a night school. Now, who is the other editor of The Age? Tom Fortune, the real author of the editorial, whose record for intelligence, success "Wilson That's All," and old Rye would make a cow blush. The Bee has been a success as well as its Editor. Fortune was born a failure as The Bee record will show Come again!, and The Bee will tell you something. DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD. The Masons of the State of North Carolina at a recent convention adopted a resolution endorsing Dr. James E. Shepard and his work at Durham, N. C., and for the colored race in general, and he was recommended to the people of the United States. The friends of Dr. Shepard who wanted him to become a candidate for Grand Master withdrew his name from the contest. This was done at the urgent request of Dr. Shepard. The action of the meeting will be seen in another column of The Bee. There is no man in North Carolina more highly respected than Dr. Shepard, and his refusal to allow his name to go before the convention is in keeping with many other acts of a similar character on his part. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Everybody should put his and her shoulder to the wheel and push the local Negro Business League along. Push it hard, often and loyally. Stand by its president and assist it to sustain and extend Negro business enterprises. Dr. Washington, in his address here last Saturday night, made it clearer than ever before the necessity of race organization and race co-operation. This apostle of business among Negroes, drove home the argument that organization and cooperation was needed, and that its being put into effect would mean success for the race. Let us follow his advice, sane, sound advice, and we will have little or no time for whining. IS HE GUILTY? The Bee calls the attention of its readers to the trial and conviction of Lawrence Norman, which will be found in another column of The Bee. It is quite evident that the judge who tried the defendant and the prosecuting officer were convinced that executive clemency should be exercised in his behalf, and they accordingly recommended it. Norman's case has never been brought before the President as it should have, because The Bee is of the opinion, with the recommendation of the judge who tried Norman and the prosecuting attorney, President Taft would have pardoned this unfortunate man. DELINQUENTS. Editor Slaughter, of the Odd Fellows' Journal, publishes in his paper that all delinquent lodges of Odd Fellows that are in arrears for the paper amounting to one, two and three years, will be suspended at the January meeting of the subCommittee of Management. From the published report, one-third of the order will be suspended. Not even will the Odd Fellows pay their just debts. What must be said of others? No one knows what it costs to publish a paper but the editor and manager. TION. (From Oklahoma American.) The Washington Bee illustrates its statement that Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., is one of the greatest educators in the country, by adding "He carries with him a traveling secretary." The Bee neglects to inform its readers whether this noted Negro savant also pays excess baggage while en tour." There is not a red cap that does not honor and respect this distinguished educator. He pays highest debts, at any rate. Can the American say-as much? A NEW WRINKLE IN EDUCA DISPLEASING. The miserable failure of President Scarborough, of Wilberforce University, in his attempt to read his very ordinary address, at the inauguration of President Newman, of Howard University last Friday, merely gave the opponents of a Negro president for Howard another argument in favor of continuing a white president of that institution. In the language of the street, President Scarborough's address, and its delivery, was simply displeasing.. Tom Forture, of the New York Age, is ignorant on everything but rum. He demonstrated his ability in that direction when he was sent as a commissioner by this government. Will Fortune inform The Bee what was done with his report? A few items from that great? report would no doubt enlighten the country. The best evidence of Fred Moore's ability to succeed is, he left this city as a messenger to Secretary Manning, of the Treasury Department, and went to New York, where some one made a mistake by telling him that he would make an editor. Has Fred Moore ever written an editorial in his life? Can he write one? Tom Fortune never succeeded in but one thing, and that was knocking himself out on John Barley Corn or "Wilson That's All." Merry Christmas to all of The Bee's readers. Hang up your stocking, whether you expect anything in it or no. With Democrats like Congressman Tribble opposing Negroes being permitted to take Civil Service examinations, and Congressman Roddenberry defaming Negroes for being allowed to intermarriage with whites, and with Congressman Burleson asserting that Negroes may be appointed as Messengers and laborers, but it is rediculous for them to expect appointments that will place them in authority over whites, it looks mighty dark for the hungry, overnight and cash-paid-in-advance Negro Democrats. The inauguration of President Newman, of Howard University, perfect in most every respect, had but two things to mar its beauty and satisfaction. The first was the failure to invite so distinguished an educator, and one who has done so much for the race, as Dr. Frissell, of Hampton Institute, to a place on the platform. This mis- take, if it was a mistake, was observed by all present. The other marring incident was the most common-place and poorly read address of President Scarborough, of Wilberforce University. This latter was especially humiliating to the many Wilberforcians present. President Scarborough's address was a poor advertisement for that deserving institution. His failure, utter failure, was remarked upon by all present. President Scarborough's address here three years ago at the Wilberforcian night, was the same disappointment. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS. --- Sunday, December 15, was a high day at the Fairmount Heights M. E. Church. Each seat was occupied by an carnest hearer, and the Holy Spirit was in the songs, prayers and sermons. Rev. O. C. Sprague, the worthy pastor preached an excellent sermon at 11 o'clock A. M. Rev. A. F. Champion, of Jacksonville, Fla., who is taking an extended course of study at Howard University, preached at 8 o'clock P. M. The Church was comfortably heated by a new furnace which has recently been installed. There was an oyster supper given Monday night, December 16. The third quarterly conference was held Wednesday night, December 18, with Rev. Dr. Ernest S. Williams presiding. The pastor and the officers of the conference rendered very excellent reports, which showed great progress. After the conference a committee of ladies served refreshments, which were highly enjoyed by the district superintendent, pastor and officers of the church. The members of the committee were: Mesdames M. E. E. Campbell, Ada Armstrong, Queen V. Coalman, Blanche Lewis, Lavinia Briscoe, Francis Tolls, A. J. Ware, V. H. Hart. The committee on public worship announced last Sunday that there will be held at the Fairmount Heights M. E. Church Wednesday night. December 31, watch meeting service. The choir is preparing for special singing on that occasion. The public has been invited. Rev, A. H. Strother and his congregation hope to move into their new church Sunday, December 22, 1912.

PublicMenAnd Things PublicMenAnd Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I noted in the daily "papes" last week that the Prince Regent, who has been doing the king role for Bavaria while Prince Ludwig and Prince Otto were doing the mad act in some old Bavarian castle, had gone and died. Now old Prince Regent had turned ninety-one years—and that's going some. He had held office for twenty-six years. But the interesting thing in the life of his Regentship was that all during his life he had made his supper off of sausage, cheese, beer and a pipe. I bet a cancelled two cent stamp against the Christmas present I won't get that some of these domesticated Africanized office holders around this berg, when they read that this old Bavarian held office for twenty-six years on that diet began to gorge themselves on sausage cheese, beer and a pipe three times a day to make up for lost time. I imagined I could see Judge Terrell rushing down to market to corner the sausage output, and could hear him phoning to Heurichs to save all his brew for him, and phoning to Capt Oyster to send out to him at once all the limberger and other cheeses he had. And I just imagined Coffee-the-human-skeleton form of Ralph Tyler bulging out with wienerwursts, frankfurters, plain hog sausage, Piltser beer and varied cheeses to prolong his official life. I could see the dignified Napier hitting the pipe regularly each evening after copious draughts of Anheuser-Busch, and a big lay out of cheese and sausage. Could see "what-you-may-call-'em". McKinlay writing checks with the tobacco right of Old Bull Durham plant. And Jim Cobb, who never tasted a smoke since he was a "candy kid," why I could see that Shreveport wonder looking like a Duke's Mixture sign: a replica of Pabst's brewery, a second edition of Armour's sausage plant, and a picture of a cake of Swiss cheese. And Link. Johnson—just imagine that Georgia peach remaining in Washington for two consecutive hours to go the cheese-sausage-beer-pipe route in faster time than Ollie Glenn made. And there are others. But it's too late now. Woody W. ain't much on cheese—it's too constipating. He spurs beer—it's to intoxicating; he draws the line on sausage—it's too gross-eating; and a Princeton professor hates a pipe cause it's too nicotinating. By and by, when old fluctuating March gets a swift kick, one by one the Black Cabinet will hear the gentle refrain. "Some One's Calling You," stealing over from the White House, and then they will sing their swan song: "I'm Coming, I'm Coming, for My Head is Bending Low. Then the lights will go out, and the Black Cabinet will be nothing but history as is writ down at 600 B Street. \*\*\* Last Thursday night, when the mercury in one of Affleck's deodorized thermometers was chilled down to freezing point, and the wind was doing the grizzly bear around the corner of Ninth and G. I was there waiting for a car to take me to my home out in beautiful, exclusive "Le Droo" Park; I turned and looked and observed standing near me a little hurricane-cloud complexioned broiler who had on a pair of white shoes, one summer old, a "summer-closing-out-sale" dress about $2.98 in season, a little jacket about as thick as the Gilt Edge Restaurant's paper napkins. Her hair-vimed head was decorated with one of King's Palace hats marked down to $1.19, and she wore a mufft to suggest that she was dressed for winter. I looked at this bunch of different seasons; she looked at me with one of those "ain't I-a-bird" smiles. Finally just to be sociable, I said to her, out of sympathy: "Maid of Athens, ain't you cold?" She gurgled back: "No, I'm sutttinly a warm baby." Then I gave her one, more look, a sort of Caius Sasias look, and a tone of voice that would have jarred one of the disappearing guns off of Sandy Hook, said: "You better get a job in somebody's kitchen before morning or the graveyard will have you in the spring. You may think it, but you don't look like Central Time to me." Then the "Le Droo" Park car came along; I hopped it, and as she, the car, shot over G and out Fifth street, I ruminated to myself: "The fellow what owns that filligree of suspense ought to get sixty days for sending it out this December night in August clothes." I have had feathered chippies tweet-tweet to me in the spring, but it's no use for these over-baked chips to tweet-tweet to me in December,-cause I ain't no bird fancier nohow. The police ought to run them in for safe keeping on the charge of being tight rope walkers out of a job. There's too many of these black and tan broilers running loose at night, without a tag. * * * My advice to the mauve complexioned set here in Washington is not to get too many Christmas presents on weekly or monthly payments, for your friends this year, 'cause Woody's coming in, and this time next year you may be living and dressing in atmosphere. Better go slow with your Christmas expenses. Merry Christmas to you, anyhow. --- Rev. Dr. H. H. Waring, Alexander's most able Baptist divine, moved to Washington, D. C., on Monday, and, with his family, is located at 710 Seventh Street Northeast. The departure of Dr. Waring is very much regretted by many young men of the city, where he has taken such a keen and active interest in the young men's Bible class, of which he was the instructor. The Bible class is composed of young men from nearly all of the nine Baptist Churches in the city, and includes a number of Howard University students and other young men of great aspirations, culture and rehnement. In view of these facts it can be readily seen that Dr. Waring is the peer of even many of the professors teaching in our theological seminaries. Dr. Waring succeeded his father as pastor of Shiloh Church a number of years ago and has erected the largest edifice for public worship in the city of Alexandria for colored people. Dr. H. H. Waring and his father are the only ministers who have pastored at Shiloh. Dr. Waring carries with him the best wishes of his many, friends (irrespective of denominal differences) for a most successful career in his new field. The funeral of Mrs. Lettie Cooley, who died at the Alexandria Hospital Wednesday evening, took place from Roberts Chapel M. E. Church Sunday afternoon, 4 P. M. The deceased is survived by a son, Robert Cooley, Rev. S. H. Brown, D. D. officiated. Miss Lula E. Edwards has gone to Richmond, Va., to spend a few weeks, the guest of her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. James Thomas. Mr. William Credit died at his home on South Royal Street on Monday evening. The deceased was a long sufferer. He was a member of Harmony Lodge, No. 818 G. U. O. of F., and also P. G. M's. Council No. 175, Alexandria Patriarchie. The funeral took place from Roberts Chapel M. E. Church, of which he was a member. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Emma Credit. Interment was made in Bethel Cemetery. The entertainment on next Friday evening, December 27th, under the auspices of the School Improvement League, promises to be a phenomenal success. Reports show a heavy sale of adult tickets, and Mr. John F. Parker, principal of Snowden School, Miss Laura M. Dorsey, teacher of Hallowell School, and Richard H. Brooks, are sparing neither time or pains in training the chorus which consists of about fifty selected voices from the schools. The singing will be accompanied by the Columbian Orchestra of Washington, D. C., and the orchestra will also render a program for the music loving public.

Jackson, the able toastmaster of the evening, made a splendid welcome speech, gave toasts and highly praised “The Demarquese” Miller for his handsome contribution of carnations, which helped to make the affair a more cheerful one. Mr. Jackson also emphasized the neces- sity of having a club reception, on which occasion we could entertain the ladies, that they also might enjoy an evening of pleasure. Upon hearing this, Mr. Berry, who ris always a potential factor on these memorable occasions, urged and really’ caused to be arranged a recep- tion to take place at the residence of Mr. Letcher early in January, so that the ladies could also indulge in dancing. Mr. Bishop Johnson, Jr., whose birthday occurred on this date made this a still more memorable affair, contributed largely by illustrating a few of his vaudeville acts often seen at the Howard Theatre.

It was with surprise and deep regret, that The Bee read the announcement on November 21, 1912, "That the President of the United States had denied the application of Lawrence Norman, for executive clemency. The Bee, personally familiar with the facts in this case; have gone over its record with James H. Smith, Norman's attorney, many times in the past three years; and the more critically has the Bee examined it, the more firm has become its conviction: That justice was miscarried when the jury rendered a verdict against Norman "Guilty as indicted" without capital punishment. Lawrence Norman was convicted on the 19th day of March, 1902, in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, in Criminal Cause 23237, for the murder of Annie Brown, by drowning her in the Georgetown canal. She a woman, 5 feet, six and a half inches in height; the water in the canal, but three and a half feet deep. March 18, 1902, the jury was sworn and respited. March 19, 1902, jury returned a verdict "Guilty as indicted, without capital punishment." The entire evidence for the prosecution in this cause was circumstantial. The following vital facts stand out prominently upon the face of the record, and every word and line of them is the testimony of the prosecuting witnesses. William N. Fisher, physician, acting for coroner (Record pages 5-6): "On the 2d day of August, 1901, I think, I made an autopsy on the body of Annie Brown. She was apparently about 25 years of age. Was about 5 feet six and a half inches tall, and weighed about 130 pounds. She was of physical development. On opening her body I found both of her lungs full of water. I found her heart in good condition—healthy and normal. Her stomach contained from a pint and a half to two pints of yellow fluid, with the strong odor of beer. The result of my autopsy showed that the woman came to her death immediately by drowning. John R. Lintner, officer, Metropolitan Police Force: (Pages 17-18 Record.) "The water in the canal where we found this woman's body, was about three and a half feet deep. It was found about six feet from the bank. There was no break in the fence anywhere. We recovered it directly back of 3207 Grace street, on the morning of September 2d, 1901. Thomas N. Walsh, officer, Metropolitan Police Force. (Pages 18-19 Record.) "I went with Officer Lintner on the morning of September 2d, JOHN H. HARRIS 1901. We got a boat in the basin, below 32d street, and came back to the rear of 3207 Grace street. We felt around with the oars to see if we could find the body there. We run the boat over to the north side of the canal. I undressed and hung off the back of the boat. I touched the woman's head with my feet. I reached down, got her by her clothes, and pulled her out. There was, I suppose, two or three feet of water in the canal—more than, that around her head where I found her, about four feet there. There was no current unless the locks are open, and then very slight. We got there before the locks were open. William Tyler, prosecuting witness. (Pages 19-20-21, Record.) "Myself and a young lady was sitting down on the bridge talking. I heard something fall in the canal, and I heard some one say three times, "Oh Lord, save me." After I heard the splash I looked through the irons to set if I could make out what it was, and I could not make out what it was, man or woman, except this much of its body (indicating from the waist up). It looked like it was walking in the water. I said if you can swim; why don't you swim out. The next morning I saw this person who was in the canal, and recognized it as Annie Brown." This witness had been discharged without further questions when Juror Lipscomb said: "Your Honor, may I ask that last witness a question?" The Court-replied "yes." Juror Lipscomb: "When you saw that object in the water, did you see anybody else there, or hear any voice, except the voice you heard coming from the person in the water?" Ans. "I could not see any one else around there, and I did not hear any other voice in the water or on the bank." Mamie Lewis, prosecuting witness. (Page 21 of Record.) "I was with Edward Tyler on the bridge in the rear of 3207 Grace street on the night of September 2, 1901. While I was sitting on the bridge, I guess it must have been half past ten and eleven o'clock. All of a sudden I heard a heavy splash in the water, and I heard a woman's voice in the water, say three times, "Oh Lord, save me, save me, save me." The voice, with reference to where Annie Brown lived, was right back of the house—right over the back fence like—right down in the canal. I did not see anybody around there about the back yard; or anywhere around there when I heard this noise in the water. I heard no one around there and saw no one around there. As far as I can judge, the distance from the bridge to the back yard of this house was as far (indicating, from the witness stand, to the first row of seats in the court house), as near as I can judge. In light of this evidence: "That Annie Brown was a woman 5 feet six and a half inches tall. That she was in good physical condition, ali of her organs normal. That she entered the water of the canal conscious, as is shown by her exclamations made when she entered the canal. That the water in the canal was but three and a half feet deep. That this woman was walking in the water; her body could be seen from her waist up. That no one else was seen around there at the time—either in the canal or its banks, or in the back yard where Annie Brown had lived. That there was no noise—and no voice other than Annie Brown's calling deliberately three times upon her Creator, to save her. How could this woman have drowned in that, water? Either some one forced her under the surface, and held her there until life was extinct. (The evidence shows conclusively, that Norman wasn't there, and that no one else was there). Or that she, of her own free will, laid down upon the bed of this stream and remained there, until she suffocated and drowned. The story of the origin of the trouble between Lawrence Norman the night of the tragedy, is briefly told by witnesses Lena Duval, and William Smith, on pages 23 and 25 of the Record. They were the only witnesses present. The only witnesses who testified on that point. They have not been impeached, or contradicted in any particular. They testified in substance as follows: That when they came into house 3:07 Grace Street, about half past nine or ten o'clock, they found Lawrence Norman lying on a sofa in a back room asleep. That shortly afterward, Annie Brown came in, lighted a piece of paper and commenced looking around the floor for something. She was asked: What she was looking for? She replied "That Norman had $3 when he came there, and now he had but $2." Norman awoke and said to Annie Brown: "What are you doing in my pockets? If money has gone out of my pockets you have taken it. Give me my money." One word brought on another, and Norman got up off the sofa, and slapped Annie Brown in the face with his open hand. She fell over on the bed and her nose commenced to bleed. Annie Brown then go off the bed and left the room. That they never saw Annie Brown after that. That they and Lawrence Norman came out of this room and house together and went down Grace to Congress street, and Norman went home." These are facts in this case, which The Bee stands ready to prove by the Record. James H. Smith, attorney, took up the fight for this man's liberty under Roosevelt's administration. Norman was poor, friendless, and a comparative stranger to Mr. Smith. He filed an application for executive clemency. The application was reported "Not so recommended as to entitle it to executive consideration," and the papers were placed on file in the Department of Justice. Mr. Smith renewed Norman's application under the present administration. He sought and obtained permission from Justice Anderson (who was Norman's trial judge) to file with him a brief, setting forth why favorable consideration should be given Norman's application, and a favorable recommendation made by him. Such brief was filed, and on the first day of September, 1911, Jas. H. Smith received the following letter: "Sept. 1, 1911. "Jas. H. Smith, Esq. JJS. 21. Smith, Esq. Dear sir, I have this day written James A. Finch, Pardon Attorney Department of Justice, recommending favorable consideration of Lawrence Norman's application for pardon. "KHOS. H. ANDERSON" (Signed.) "THOS. H. ANDERSON." Mr. Smith made a similar request of Judge Gould (who was the prosecuting attorney at Norman's trial), and on the same day Mr. Smith received the above letter from Judge Anderson, Judge Gould wrote the Pardon Attorney a letter, endorsing the recommendations made by Judge Anderson in the matter of the application of Lawrence Norman for pardon. Mr. Smith (as he expressed it), fearing his zeal for his client, had run away with his judgment. Had an interview with Mr. Henry E. Davis (a prominent attorney of this city) and asked him: If he would at his leisure, go over this record in Norman's case, and tell him his conclusions: that he seemed to be making such little progress with the Department of Justice, in his efforts to secure favorable action although the facts in the record, seemed so convincing. This Mr. Davis willingly consented to do. He went over the entire record; and in Mr. Smith's presence wrote the Pardon Attorney to the effect "That if he had been the trial judge in this case, he would have set the verdict aside; that the evidence did not justify it," and offered to take the matter up with him. The Bee suggests: That aside from the facts cited in the record, and favorable recommendations made by the trial judge and prosecuting attorney, the good conduct and honest service of Lawrence Norman the past ten years of his prison life should weigh much in his favor. If the scope of the law in imposing penalty for crime, or alleged crime, is reformation, and not revenge; then, his exemplary conduct in prison shows: He, Norman, is prepared for good citizenship. Five years of this time, was spent in Moundsville, and upon his being removed to Leavenworth, the superintendent gave him an excellent certificate of good conduct and industry. Today he is at Leavenworth discharging the duties of a position of trust and confidence, as high as any ever held by a United National Religious Training School THE STATE HOSPITAL Offers superior advantages for the training of young men and women in many departments of work.

Knowing the broad sense of justice of President Taft; believing that he would grant unto the lowest of God's mortals, the square deal; not by declaration only, but by positive action. The Bee emphasizes its opinion that President Taft was not fully advised, of the facts and circumstances in this case, is, the reason why, he denied the application of Lawrence Norman for executive clemency. The Bee, therefore appels to him in the interest of human justice, to reconsider his former action denying executive clemency in this case, and grant unto Lawrence Norman his liberty, which the record in this cause shows he is clearly entitled to.

A. gymnasium last week, and the start was rather inauspicious. Three forfeitures marked the season's opening. The committee has worked hard to induce an interest in the sport, but conditions in that division do not favor the indoor game, largely because of lack of practice place, and because few of the players ever attend basket ball games. One bright spot was, however, the trimming of Randall by Lincoln. This is Lincoln School's first attempt at the court game, and that it came off with honors is due to large extent to the DURHAM, N.

This division has games all this week at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. In the eleventh division, the four games played were well contested. Langston, Garnet and Mott proved true surprises. Slater heavyweight quint had all that it could do to defeat the Mott aggregation which earlier in the season it had trimmed to the tune of 26 to 6, and this time could not muster a greater score than 6 to 0. Horad and Gilmore were stars of the game, and yet all the players did well. Slater lightweight were outplayed by the team from. Garnet school. Garnet had perhaps a superior team at their last meeting, in which Slater won by the score of 11 to 2, but on this occasion they had received some coaching from an experienced player and the long end of the score of 6 to 0 was theirs. Bruce heavyweight team came upon the scene on this occasion with form sufficient to defeat the Langston heavyweight team by the score of 8 to 3. Neither team was brilliant, but improvement was noticed in the performance of each. That basket ball and other teams will take a brace at the schools mentioned is assured from the work shown the other night. Cook school again defeated the lightweight boys from Langston; which assures them a place in the semi-finals to be played in the race for the division championship. The Langston team proved a more interesting proposition than formerly, and although never having a chance to win, kept in the play to the finish. Epps, of Cook, played an excellent game, and although not in a position to star, was yet a bright spot on the team for his consistent playing. Morris also played a good game. Chairman Wilkinson has the hardest set of teams in the list just now to handle, and must be congratulated upon the thorough manner in which he is managing the situation. One of the encouraging signs now existing is the presence of coaches, either faculty or otherwise, for most of the teams. High school boys and players about town or at Howard University have teams in charge. Among the coaches at work at their "Elementary Alma Mater" or schools by adoption are: Oliver, Gray, Sykes, Curtis, Winthrop, Dr. Arthur Curtis, Nutt, of Howard University; Horad, Hayes, Holland, Lacy, Stafford, Ford, and a host of others from the high schools. (Continued to page 3.) (Continued from page 2.) GREAT OIL MILL A SUCCESS. Dr.Washington Congratulates Charles Banks—Negro Enterprise in the South—The Best Constructed. Forty carloads of colored people, who came in special trains from New Orleans, Memphis, Vicksburg, Jackson, Natchez, Greenville, not to mention the hundreds of others who came on the six regular daily trains that pass through here, were poured into this little town yesterday. Monday, November 25. It was a sight worth of the city bred colored citizen mingling with his brothers from the country districts of the Mississippi Delta who had been coming in by way of ox-cart, wagon, buggy, and nondescript vehicles of every conceivable kind and description. They were here for one purpose—to welcome Booker T. Washington, the great Leader of the Negro people, who, accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Washington, had in the busiest period of his work for Tuskegee, direct from Boston, for the purpose of making the principal address and pulling the cord Mound Bayou, Miss., November 26, 1911 Durham, N. C. that blew the first whistle, marking the formal opening and completion of the $100,000 oil mill manufacturing enterprise which the Negroes of Mississippi under the guidance and direction of Charles Banks, master spirit, and president of the Mississippi State Negro Business League, have been promoting for, the past four years. In a presence made up of the leading professional, educational, and business men and women of the race; of a presence in which were represented thousands of the most successful farmers of Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee, the formal exercises were held in the open and on the grounds of the oil mill plant. They were marked with simplicity, and yet with a dignity befitting an occasion of so much moment. Chas. Banks called the assemblage to order, and introduced Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of the town of Mound Bayon, who in turn introduced Dr. Washington. Of Mr. Washington's address it is not too much to say that it reached the high-water mark of constructive eloquence; a happy blending of elation and just pride in the successful completion of a great and monumental task; a word of admonition and advice—a characteri-tic address by the eloquent Tuskegeean. He was listened to, not only by thousands of his own race, but also hundreds of white citizens—county officials, judges, professional men, newspaper men, and most notably Mr. C. P. J. Mooney, editor of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, who followed Dr. Washington in a trenchant, forceful, and thoroughly appreciative address. A paragraph will give some indication of the Tuskegeean's happy felicity of expression in appraising the importance of the event. Among other things he said: "I count it a great privilege to be permitted to take part in the formal opening of the Mount Bayou Oil Mill and Manufacturing Company. The opening of this oil mill marks a unique and distinct step in the progress of the Negroes of America. It represents, in my opinion, the largest and most serious undertaking in a purely commercial and manufacturing enterprise in the history of our race. "I congratulate Charles Banks and his board of directors and the stockholders upon the success that they have attained to in bringing this enterprise to its present degree of completeness. Mr. Banks and those who have stood by him in this movement are entitled to the lasting praise of the people of this country." The enterprise in its entirety will represent an investment of $100,000, and is the fruit of a decision reached by the Mississippi Negroes, acting through their State Negro Business League to build here in the heart of the South a constructive industrial enterprise. Thos. W. Cook, a successful Negro architect contractor and builder, has been in entire charge of fitting the plant for operation. Mr. Cook has been wholly responsible for every detail involved in the design and construction of the fully equipped plant. The plant is admittedly one of the best constructed in the State. A Corliss engine, 250 horse-power will drive the machinery; a line shaft of 200 feet, which in turn operates the transmission to the seven (7) Linter stands, two (2) double shakers; a five-roller crusher stand; one cake former; an automatic cooker, four compartments; two (2) accumulators, two (2) pressers; five (5) settling tanks—the whole cost of this machinery being approximately $35,000. The buildings consist of one brick structure, 250x60, two story and a half seed sheds, 350x90. The Mound, Bayou community easily markets each season $50,000 worth of raw, or bulk cotton seed, and if passed through the plant will practically double in value. The mill has a capacity for crushing 40 tons of seed in twenty-four hours, but the construction and power are so arranged that the capacity can be doubled by the addition of two oil presses. Among the representative persons who came to be present at the dedication, in addition to Dr. and Mrs. Washington, were: Mr. H. A. Boyd, Tennessee; J. B. Bell, Texas; Scott Bond, Arkansas; Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute; W. D. Neighbors, Chicago; T. J. Searcy, Memphis; W. E. Robinson, Louisiana; Dr. T. O. Fuller, Memphis; Dr. A. W. Dumas, Natchez; P. W. Howard, Jackson; nearly all of the fraternal organizations were represented by their Grand Officers. : a . : . . é James H Wirslow MAJOR MALLERY |: eS eee mman, | JUMPS TO DEATH) S222: Avs. WORK FIRST CLASS.

Brunetto, for an instance to the polnt, relates with all soberness that “the basilisk 1s the king of serpents. He wears a white crést upon bis head, and such is the abun dance of his venom that the alr Is Poisoned wherever this dire reptile Passes. Trees in which he makes his home exhale such a poisonous odor that birds in fying over are 80 over come with it that they fall to th ground dead. “The dragon,” says the same an thor, “Is the very largest of serpents and Inhabits especially Indla and Ethi opia, When he files out of the carern: in which be makes his home he fur tows the air with such violence as t make It gleam with fre.

At least a hundred persons in the street gaw the leap, aud many shouted to the aged man to go back as they saw him poise himself on the window sill. His body struck the sidewalk with @ terrific crasb, landing directly ir front of a young girl on her way to work, She screamed with horror an. fainted, falling beside the body. Major Mallery's body crashed head first on the sidewalk, and the sigh ‘was so fearful that several women Iw came hystrical. The suicide occurie. during the rush hours when thousan -» were pouring from subway exist and the Grand Central station, In a few minutes a crowd of sev- eral thousand gathered, blocking a.| streét car traffic in the neighborhood The body, clad only in pink silk pa jamaé, lay on the sidewalk, surround “ed by a dense crowd, until the reserves arrived and cleared a space in front of the hotel. Major Mallery bad been sufferint from melancholia for a long time. II- | Was in such a state of depressivn i that his valet was under orders t. , watch him constantly, | Mrs, Mallery was in the apartmen when the sulcldo occurred. With het also was the valet and Garrick Ma: lery, a son. Major Mallery was sitting on th side of his bed, waiting for the vale to prepare his bath. The valet notifix Major Mallery that the bath was rea 3 and began arranging - the major clothes. ‘The major’ then went to the batt room, shut the door and walked to th window, He opened it and, accordir to those who watched him from th street, climbed out on the broad win dow sill and stood for several second Bazing to the strect. Elther he did nu! hear the shouts of warning from tht street crowds or paid no attention t them, for he suddenly threw up hi hands and sprang into the air, The body, turned over twice In It: descent, one foot striking an fron rail ing fringing an areaway at the side o the hotel. This turned the body over so that it struck on the head. Th crash and the fainting girl, who top Pled over at the feet of the body caused a panic among the crowds, a several women ran shrieking into the stores across the street. The crie: brought other guests in the hotel t the windows and some of the hote employes rushed to the street. Garric! Mallery later identified the body. ‘Taft Sounds Note of Warninc.

A notable omission trom the me- sage is that of any discussion of t.« commercial treaty of 1832 with Itu- sia, which will terminate on Dec. + through the denouncement 6f the ¢ 1 vention last year. The president h let it be known that the state depa.: ment is not seeking to negotiate a. other treaty with Russia, and that t 1. Will be left to the Wilson admin st x tion to accomplieh. . Beginning with the usuai reference to the existing good relations w:! foreign powers, the president ad: that these have been strengthened 1.3 “a greater insistence upon justice .« American citizens, or Interests, wher ever it may have been denied, and : stronger emphasis of the need of mu tuality in commercial and other rela tions.” For the first time, says the pres dent, the state department has ‘cb talned substantially the most favore¢ nation treatment from all of the coun tries of the world. Therefore, he say: that it is-only natural that competitive countries should view with some con cern the expansion of our commerce Hence the warning “If in some in stances the measures taken by ther to meet It are-not entirely equitable & remedy should be found.” tat Anw wee led ance tse tab des To this end the president, declaring “flat tariffs are out of date,” strongly Tecommends the enactment of the bill recommended by Secretary Knox last December, permitting the government, Instead of imposing the full maximum rates of duty against descriminating countries, to apply a graduated scale of dutles, up to that maximum of 25 per cent. Takes Bath Only When Forced. Although a good worker, temperate in hfs habits and an excellent pro- wider for his family, Joseph Notis, o! Larksville, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa. positively refused to be.coaxed or driven to take a bath, bis family told ‘g justice of the peace. For three weeks Notis slept in his ‘mining clothes, and efforts of his fam: fly to persuade him to wash were fruitless. In despair Mrs. Notls went t ‘Squire Edward Burke and caused hel husband’s arrest, charging that he would not take a bath. She appeare: against him at a hearing, as did hi: song and daughters, and all testifiec that he had a great dislike for soa and water. “The verdict of this court,” said the *equire to Notis, “Is that you take Dath.” Then turning to Constable Josep! Husted, the ‘squire sald: “Here Js inoney to buy scrubbin; brushes and soap. Take this man t his home, and if he won't bathe, us what force fs necessary to aubjec him to a thorough scrubbing.

Houston who was unsuccessful in his efforts to get on the Washington Board of Education, and likewise was unsuccessful in his candidacy for the office of grand secretary of the Odd Fellows, had another chock put in the wheels of his office-seeking proclivities at the meeting of the Odd Fellows Corinthian Lodge last Monday night. It being the last meeting of the year, the lodge held its annual election. Houston was a candidate for the position of secretary of the lodge, the place held for a number of years by Henry P. Slaughter. When the time came for the election, John N. Goins, one of the members, made a motion that the warden be empowered to cast the vote of the lodge for the retention of those then in office. Against this Houston directed a point of order, claiming that it was contrary to law, as the motion related to the election of annual officers, and was not in order, the law requiring that quarterly officers be elected first. Although Houston is one of the judges of the Odd Fellows' Court, the advocate and presiding officer of the lodge read the law and decided that he was in error as to his notion of the law and that his point of order could not be sustained. The motion was then open for debate. Houston spoke against it. He said that he took exception to the statements made by the maker of the motion. Houston said that the statement that it was customary to re-elect lodge secretaries, and treasurers was untrue, and that if the motion passed it would shut off the "new members" from opportunity, and that he was solicitous for them. He made other statements that caused Slaughter to speak relative to the discussion. Slaughter called attention to the fact that it was customary pretty generally throughout the country to re-elect the fiduciary officers, provided they had been faithful in the discharge of their duties. Slaughter told the new members not to be deceived by any professions of solicitation for them. He said that no new member would be elected as secretary, because Houston was himself the candidate for the place, and that he had not only violated the law in soliciting votes, but that he had sought to prejudice the brethren by telling them that the lodge was "going back" and that they needed a new secretary. Slaughter impressed upon them that it was very poor taste for one who had held the high and honorable office of national grand master and national grand director, and being a judge to be violating the law by making a man-to-man canvass for votes for a lodge office, and that it was shameful for him to be telling the members that they needed a new secretary because the lodge was "going back." Slaughter then pointed out that at the election last year Houston himself had made the same kind of mo- No branch Houses 352 AS BEVE ESTABLISHED 1865 ASSORTMENT IN THE ENTIRE CITY FAME FOR QUALITY.

He also told them that Houston was on the auditing committee for the last quarter, and that he had approved the secretary's and treasurer's accounts. He pointed out to them that the lodge was now in better condition than ever before, that it had more money, more members, and more progressive than at any other time in its history. When the vote was taken, the motion was passed, and Houston's scheme to have himself elected to the place held by Slaughter was defeated by a vote of 65- to 5—being 13 to 1. Attorney I. H. Nutter, of Atlantic City, N. J., says: "Wilson got the largest colored vote ever given to a Democrat in this country. The Republican majority was reduced from 6,000 to 103, as to presidency."
