The officers and members of this very helpful institution are making elaborate preparations to celebrate the first anniversary of the dedication of their new $100,000 home at 1816 12th street, northwest, and all over the District the deepest interest is being manifested in the event. It will be recalled that one year ago, on May 19, Hon. Henry L. Stimson, then Secretary of War, representing Hon. William Howard Taft, President of the United States, stood on the front steps of this magnificent structure and delivered, in the presence of an immense throng, an address of dedication that was voted a masterpiece of sincere eloquence, and which still rings in the ears of all who were fortunate enough to have heard it. In November of 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt laid CLASS AND FIRST AID the corner-stone amid impressive ceremonies. For the "Anniversary Season" the management of the Y. M. C. A. has arranged a most attractive program, and its features are so varied as to set forth with striking fidelity the numerous interests and diversions which the organization is in a position to offer to its friends and supporters. Beginning at 3:30 Sunday afternoon, May 18, there will be an address on a timely theme by Senator John Downey Works, of California. Music will be furnished by the Academy Quartet, Miss Olive Wells, vocalist, and Prof. Joseph H. Douglass, violinist. For Monday May 19, at 8 p. m., a Gymnasium Exhibition is announced. It will embrace an athletic pageant, fancy tactics, rhythmical calisthenics, apparatus performance and contests. Tuesday, May 20, at 8 p. m., there will be a Water Carnival, consisting of swimming races, tub races, fancy diving and various water "stunts" in the big swimming pool. Parlor social and games, a musical and literary program and dainty refreshments are included in the very alluring program offered for the occasion, and the indications are that the spacious building will be crowded throughout the three big days of the celebration. No pains will be spared to insure the comfort of all who attend. An especial invitation is extended to the ladies. The Beginnings of a Successful Career. In its initial year the Association has won many friends to its cause. At the outset many well-known people wondered whether it could withstand the strain and stress of life in the Nation's Capital; expressions of hope were flanked by prophecies of disaster. But the excellent financial showing, the large and growing membership and the countless benefits it has bestowed upon the community more than allays whatever apprehensions anyone might have had, and the enthusiasm displayed by the influential forces it has brought to its support bespeaks a successful career in the future. The 12th Street Branch had its inception in the demand of this cosmopolitan city for an active, efficient and aggressive agency for the moral, mental and physical development of the men and boys of the Negro race. The need of such a center of practical Christian effort was sorely felt, and, through the persistent and well-directed agitation of a faithful group of determined men ID TO THE INJURED. a nucleus of this Y. M. C. A. was formed, and from the seed planted in fertile soil has grown the largest organization of its kind among colored people in the entire country and owning outright the largest and costliest building, and the finest equipment to be found anywhere. The story of the struggle of the Association for a firm footing in this community, now familiar to the majority of our citizens, reads almost like a tale from the "Arabian Nights." It is a recital of unceasing toil and painful sacrifice, of Spartan courage under apparently insurmountable difficulties, and of sublime faith in the happy outcome of their labor of love. By turns the history of this constructive movement has shown phases that have been humorous, pathetic, and sometimes tragic—but always thrilling and inspiring. In the bright lexicon of these indefatigable pioneers there was no such word as FAIL. What is covered here in a paragraph more than fill President Eliot's famous "5-foot shelf," if told in detail and actual credit should be given to each individual and each element that contributed to the sum total of the achievement that today stands as a towering monument to Negro skill and promotion. It is a source of never-ending pride that in this massive structure, costing complete over $100,000, every brick was laid by colored men, and much of the work that could be performed by our race was given over to colored hands. Of the total cost, $27,000 was contributed by the colored citizens of Washington which will stand as an everlasting tribute to the broad, ```markdown ``` LEWIS E. JOHNSON, Executive Secretary 12th Street Branch Y. M. C. A. ```markdown ``` public spirit of our people at the Nation's Capital. Mr. John D. Rockefeller gave $25,000, and Mr. Julius Rosenwald gave a like sum. The remainder was made up by the Central Y. M. C. A. of this city. It is significant of the intense desire of the race for self-helpfulness that Henry W. Chase, a hard-working colored man and an ex-slave, gave $500 in "cold cash" to this building fund. Coning at a period when inspiration was needed, this splendid contribution, as a noble example to others, was easily worth thrice its face value. No stronger evidence of the cohesive power of racial consciousness has ever been presented in the American Continent than that shown by the colored people of Washington throughout the stirring campaign for the money with which to erect this glorious temple for the salvation of our rising generation. This concrete revelation of our capacity and willingness to do big things for ourselves has engendered within us a courdelee that will work untold good to our race here and elsewhere for all time to come. It will encourage those of the other race to come to our rescue as a people worth saving. THE H. W. Chase, Who Gave $500 Financing a Campaign for Christianity. Financing a campaign, for Christianity is not less practical than financing a railroad or any other great business project. To succeed, the managers must bring to bear energy, experience, knowledge of the possibilities of a dollar and how to expend every cent to the best advantage. All this the Y. M. C. A. directorate has done to a "queen's taste." The financial statement given out by Secretary Lewis E. Johnson, who has proven to be pre-enimently "the right man in the right place," makes a showing that is little short of phenominal. The total expense of maintenance for the current year, exclusive of the secretary's salary, which is paid by the Central Association, is shown to be over $8,200, every penny of which has been collected and paid, with a comfortable balance left to the organization. Such a feat in financiering is calculated to make the prosiest of business men to "sit up and take notice." It is no small triumph to open a new enterprise in a problematic field, pay from the actual receipts of that business an expense account of, over $8,200 and have something left for next year's "nest egg." Three items of expense alone would stagger the average man, sailing over an untried sea of commercial effort. The Association's electric light bill for the year was $1,124; the expenditures for coal was $704, and the water rent called for $206. The latter account, which is made to cover the weekly change of water in the immense swimming pool of 42,000 gallon capacity emphasizes the fact that the Y. M. C. A. believes that "cleanliness is next to godliness," and does not deal parsimoniously in its bathing facilities. Of the receipts it is worthy of especial note that from the membership fees there has been collected from men the handsome sum of $2,024.75, while the boys have paid in $501.50, which, with $152 sustaining fund paid by individuals, brings up the Y. M, C. A Building amount received for memberships to the marvelous total of $2,678.25. On the membership rolls are 425 men and 200 boys, more of each than are carried on the books of any similar organization in the land. Both in finance and in numbers interested the record made by the Washington Association is unparalleled in the history of the Y. M. C. A. movement. Another exceptional item is the amount of $3,300.01, paid in as rentals by the 65 men occupying the two floors of dormitories in the building. The full statement of the Association's finances will prove instructive as a proof that the organization has a firm hold upon the elements it is designed to serve and that it possesses a rigid backbone that will guarantee it long life and an increasing power for usefulness.

The Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. means a larger spiritual and productive life for colored Washington. Here is a Negro population of 100,000 souls, with many avenues of temptation open night and day, and with a limited number of uplifting institutions that appeal to the fertile imagination and immature taste of our impressive youth. The Y. M. C. A., with its unique equipment and varied activities, is acknowledged to be the most efficient of the enterprises now in operation for the all-round development of men and boys. It stimulates Christian fervor and religious growth through its great men's meetings every Sunday afternoon and through Bible classes during the week days. The Saturday night Bible class for Sunday school teachers in the various churches is an appreciated feature. The Interdenominational Sunday School Lesson is demonstrated and teachers are taught how to present the lesson most effectively to their pupils. It promotes the general health and physical development of the man in a scientific manner through its gymnasium classes, swimming pool, health talks, and instructs by lectures how to render "first aid to the injured." A strong, healthy body is a priceless asset. The evening educational classes and lectures enable the man or boy to sup- THE FEDERAL BANK OF THE UNITED STATES Total ..... Dormitory rentals .....

Those who work during the day may thus more fully equip themselves for business and professional life by special study. A man's earning capacity is increased and his usefulness as a citizen is immeasurably reinforced by an education that gives both skill and character. The two must go hand in hand. The automobile classes are exceptionally popular, as this is an age of motoring and the experienced chauffeur is in steady demand at the best of wages. The association expects to open a class of this kind this fall. An "Open Door" to the Life Beau- tiful The informality and freedom of spirit in the social gatherings are an incentive to the young men, who might otherwise seek the dangerous diversions of the saloons. The Y. M. C. A., in furnishing a high-purposed environment, in contrast with the places of vice and degredation, affords one of the most potent arguments for its continued existence. The importance of the boy in the uplift of the race cannot be overestimated. He is "the man of tomorrow" and his welfare must be safeguarded in every possible way. Ample provision is made for boys of all ages and tendencies, and they are taught the saving value of good conduct, and they are organized into groups for special training. The principles of the gentleman and honesty, industry and integrity are emphasized and their pleasures are adroitly directed into right channels. The prohibition of gambling, drinking and bad conversation, together with an agreeable social contact with real men cannot fail to have a beneficial effect upon all who place themselves within the purview of this noble institution. Employment has been secured for many men out of work and students are helped to work their way through school. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. The regenerating atmosphere of the Y. M. C. A. is proving to be of vast benefit to the churches in this community. At the Sunday meetings, which are attended by from 200 to 2,000 men, there are made countless decisions to lead Christian lives, and these converts become members in the various churches in the city. The fraternal spirit existing between the Y. M. C. A. and the local ministry is happily shown in the use by a number of the churches of the great swimming pool for baptismal purposes. The Extension Committee is furnishing speakers to Christian Endeavors, Sunday schools, prayer meetings, and other auxiliary bodies of the churches. The aim is to broaden men spiritually, mentally and physically. The spirit of service to humanity is emphasized, and the gospel that all men are brethren is preached from every angle. If you are efficient in any line, and are high upon the ladder of prosperity, help the other fellow who is down and needs your aid. The association aims to be an "open door" to the life beautiful. Strangers and visitors are cordially welcomed at all times. The Y. M. C. A. as a Civic Center. Not only is the Y. M. C. A. a Christian organization, an educational institution and a health resort, but it is a civic center of the most generous (Continued to page 8.) LAWYER KING In the West Indies—Received a Royal Welcome—Views the Panama Canal—The Loyal Knights of Malachites. Special to The Bee. Special to the BOC Kingston, Jamaica, May 1.—The following is an address of welcome delivered to L. Melendez King by Venus Lodge No. 1. Kingston, Jamaica, on May 1 and Mr. King's reply in part. Mr. King, when en route to Bocas del Toro, Panama, stopped by Kingston to make an official visit to Venus Lodge. Mr. L. Melendez King, Attorney-at-Law, Grand Supreme Governor Loyal Knights and Ladies of Malachites. Honored Sir—We, the members of Venus Lodge No. I, of Loyal Knights and Ladies of Malachites, welcome you to Jamaica, the land not only of wood and water, as the name typifies, but of sunshine; celebrated for its scenery, proverbial for its hospitality and famous for its cordiality. We welcome you as a member of our race, as a member of the great family that has peopled that heaven, blessed continent erstwhile known as the "Dark Continent," but which could only now be entitled to that epithet if the ebon hue of its aboriginal inhabitants be considered. We are proud to claim relationship with such a continent, magnificent and unsurpassed in its physical features, unrivaled in its boundless resources. Africa our Fatherland! We welcome you as a representative of the American section of this great Negro race, a race that is perhaps more potential in physical stamina and in mental vitality than any other known race; so that those whose prejudice or ignorance led them hitherto to say that the Negro race was nbt as physically or intellectually strong as the Caucasian, have now to sing a different tune, in view of present-day facts. We hail you as coming from the land and of the race that produced a Frederick Douglass, a Booker Washington, a Phyllis Wheatly and hosts of others too numerous to mention. We welcome you as a member of the noble profession to which you have the honor to belong, one of the three most honored and learned professions known to modern civilization. We are proud of the place you occupy in the legal arena of your country and trust that your success shall increase from more to more. We are proud to inform you that there are many members of our race who are filling similar positions in this colony; in fact, we may, with justifiable pride, say that our race specializes in this and in the other two learned professions, the ministry and medicine, in that of law they have practically "taken it by storm" and have filled the highest places of honor that the bar can offer in a British Colony. our race claims two (2) of the four (4) K C's in this THE NEW YORKER island, and the present mayor of this city is not only a member of our race, but of the bar and of our order. We specially welcome you as the executive chief of the important Order of Malachites with which we are connected, and congratulate you on the confidence reposed in you by the members of the fraternity in your homeland in raising you to this post of honor, and trust that all Malachites will have cause to rejoice over the wisdom of the choice. The success that attended Sister Davis' mission here, the confidence reposed in her by us, and the way she pioneered the movement so as to organize right in the principal town of this island, and among the intelligent class of such a lodge as Venus No. 1, argues well for better days to our race. We cannot say that the growth has been phenomenally prolific as far as numbers are concerned, but we do not believe in things or causes which spring up like mushrooms or Jonah's gourd, for they generally decay as rapidly; if our progress is slow, we warrant it is sure. We trust that the organization shall be the beginning of an effort which, not only the members of the race in your mighty Republic shall link together with those in our little island, but shall embrace those of every cline, when not only the Oriental and Occidental shall meet, but with them the Austral and Boreal. We highly appreciate the effort which you and your colleagues have made in the preparation of the constitution for our guidance, but we must also impress upon your minds the fact that conditions differ widely in America from those obtaining in the West Indies and a study of our local conditions will convince you that many alterations will be necessary if our lodge and the order generally is to live and thrive. We have already brought to the notice of the Grand Supreme-Lodge the specific points on which this constitution is considered unsuitable to our island and we feel sure that since in the past that body has shown a disposition to be conciliatory, our recommendations will, be carefully weighed and all practicable modifications to existing laws will be made. We trust your brief stay in the island shall prove of great benefit to you. Year by year we have thousands of people from your country of the other race coming down here as tourists, but the number of colored American tourists is small. We trust that your visit shall stimulate and encourage others of our race from the northern shores to visit us from time to time. We trust that you shall have a pleasant journey to the other places in your itinerary, and a favorable return to your home, friends and duties. We extend every good wish to you and hope that you shall see fruits from this your welcome visit to our shores and to the Knights and Laries of Venus Lodge No. 1. Hoping that your future will be bright and that the organization under your governorship will greatly flourish, we are yours in justice and benevolence, A. L. WALCOTT, S. G. T. A. AIKMAN, S. L. G. J. W. MILBOURN, S. S. RACHIEL McKENZIE, S. T. Attorney King's Reply. Supreme Governors, Officers and Members of Venus Lodge of the Loyal Knights and Ladies of Malachites of the World, Kingston, Jamaica—Judging from the distance we are from home, this is in reality an organization of the world in the fullest sense of the term, especially so because just now we are in the act of stretching our hands across the broad Atlantic to bind our people of Liberia into this great cause and plant there the banner of the Malachites, where we hope to see her waive throughout eternity. As we look into your faces, we truthfully regard ourselves in the language of our ritual, as "kinsmen from a far country." You reside on the beautiful Island of Jamaica and pay homage to the great King of England, upon whose dominion the sun never sets. We hail from the distant shores of America, where we honor the stars and stripes, emblematic of power and dominion. We are doubtless both proud of our country and would shed blood on battle fields in defense of its honor and glory. This is as it should be. Stand by your country. Defend its flag. Our great organization encourages loyalty. Your blood is my blood—your flesh my flesh. Malachites More Than Kinsmen. Malachites More Man Kinsmen. We are more than kinsmen. When upon bended knee, with hands upon the sacred book, you took the oath, we became brother and sister Malachites. No, you are my brother; I am your brother. Sister Davis is your sister; you are her sisters and brothers. Scope of the Work love wi brother in California to a brother in New York, a brother in New York to a brother in Jahnaica, a brother in Jamaica to a brother in Panama and so on the world around, until the distress sign of one brother or sister will be felt and heard by all. Weaker Races Prev of Stronger. Weaker races are of stronger. Weaker races have always been made the prey of stronger races. Our race is no exception to the rule. We are everywhere suffering from some form of injustice—if not in one way, we are in another. This organization stands up and demands justice. It asks no favors, but just every-day justice—fair play. This, every fair-minded individual is willing to accord. Industrial Feature It proposes to foster and encourage industry and economy among our members everywhere. This consists in the establishment of various business enterprises wherein the boys and girls of the race will find employment. Benevolent Feature Special stress is placed on the benevolent feature. It provides for its members in sickness, accident and death. Its terms are by far more liberal than most organizations. We wish all subordinate lodges to guard carefully the treasury for the sick. Fifty per cent, of the monthly dues must be placed in this treasury each month. This is absolutely imperative. This fifty per cent, must not be used for any other purpose and must always tally with the number of members. Five per cent, is to be used for hall rent, remaining forty per cent. to be sent to the Grand Lodge. Malachites. How Planned. For years fraternal associations have been known and patronized by our race. Some have been good, some bad; some have failed, while others have succeeded. In each case there has been seen elements of good and elements of bad. In organizing this lodge, the history of other lodges was thoroughly examined with a view of adopting whatever of good could be found in any and all, and of leaving out the bad, and thus avoid pitfalls. We believe our plans and principles are as nearly perfect as it lies within human power to make them. However, we gladly welcome suggestions of subordinate lodges from time to time, and request the lodges to suggest new ideas. As I have said, our fraternal institutions have been of great benefit to the race. They have filled a long-felt want. They have, however, all had their faults. Show me a man without a fault and I will show you a tree never shaken by the wind. We have carefully noted the glaring shortcomings of the older organizations and are striving to steer clear of their pit-falls. Unnecessary Time Spent. It is to be regretted that some of the older organizations at Grand Lodge and other meetings have spent so much valuable time in trying to elect one candidate or another to office or defeat some other equally as capable. This, together with social affairs and the adjustment of internal differences, have not infrequently consumed the entire time. They go to conventions thinking about but one thing, and that is, who is going to be elected to office—the highest ambition being to serve some personal interest. How good it would have been if some of the older organizations, in addition to electing officers, taking care of the sick, and burying the dead, had at an early date, in the advocacy of discriminatory measures, gone on record as opposed to Jim Crow car laws, lynch laws, all forms of peonage. Suppose they had advocated equal opportunity for the race in all lifes of employment? I dare say that if more attention had been paid to such real beneficial things, such wholesale encroachments would not have been made on our civil and political rights. So, to establish a mighty organization adopting the good and eschewing the evil of the older ones, is the peculiar work of the Malachites. It goes further and protects along all lines, acting as a lifeboat in time of storm. People's Organization There are absolutely no bosses. It is the people's organization. No grafting. Its officers are paid for services and no more. In its dealings with its members there are none so high, if in the wrong, whose course it will not attack, and none so low, if in the right, whose cause it will not espouse. Our principles are so broad and comprehensive that those who once hear them are immediately won over and at once become Malachites. The organization is gaining ground rapidly. Its success is assured. It is here to stay. Many thousands will be converted to its principles. Our cause is just and will prevail. Man's Personal Ambition, Nothing; Principles Everything. No member's personal ambition will be allowed to interfere with the advancement of the order. I founded this organization and am its Grand Supreme Governor, but the only grounds upon which I can claim a right to remain at its head is that I now stand and have always stood for the great principles upon which it is based. If the time should ever come when in your calm and well-considered judgment I attempt to use the order for selfish ends, then I will gladly surrender my commission. Cannot Succeed on Beds of Roses. We do not expect easy sailing. Our course must be beset with quagmires. We will have our setbacks, but always keep your eye on the goal. One thing we don't fear—that is splits. There can be no split in this organization because there never was and never will be but one Grand Order of Malachites in the world and its headquarters are in We. ters are in war are not infringing either in or out the great phoph the way, will ha his objection w ruled in the cou Combination Now, my friends, in conclusion, all other races have succeeded only through successful combination, and our race is no exception to the rule. United we stand, divided we fall; union forever and justice to all. Mr. King left by steamer Tivives for Panama. SOLD OUT BELOW COST. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs Talks of Political Leaders. A number of our papers are beginning to abuse the men who voted the Democratic ticket last fall. Not a single plum has fallen and several men have lost their jobs. The races have been segregated at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and a number of "disappointments" rather than "appointments" are said to be in store for Negro Democrats. Now, the fact of the matter is that we sold out below cost. The Negroes who made the deal were a cheap lot of politicians who cared no more for their race than an elephant cares for ants. They are men who hold up lamp posts between campaign and get off a lot of hot air on the race problem and make their living off of political campaign hand-outs and preachers who get hand-outs supplemented by good salaries from pastorates. By this arrangement they realize that they will not suffer very much from any change that may come. Those who pay their salaries are hard-working women, who get about as much washing to do under a Democratic administration as they do under a Republican administration. The class of Negroes who are really affected by their acts contribute very little to their support. They do not worship them, nor call them "blessed." For this reason our preacher-politicians and lamp-post props have few friends to favor and many enemies to punish. These men are selfish and mercenary. They seem to be "mad" at somebody about things, and the whole race is to be flayed alive. We are in a worse fix now, politically, than we have ever been since freedom, and it is all due to the fact that we have had incapable leaders. They have lacked vision, courage and the spirit of sacrifice, a devotion to principles that must characterize the leaders of a race. We have a job lot of puppets, pigmies, compromisers, shammers and drift-wood. Most of our leaders (?) are a cheap lot of cowards, who are hungry for office and honor. The brave, sensible, honorable men who are fighting battles of the race, for the sake of the race, may be counted on your two hands, with a few fingers left over. Nine-tenths of our leaders are engaged in the "hooodoo" business. They have roots and herbs to sell. They are working at the race uplift business because they can make money. The business is growing less and less profitable. [Image of a man in a formal shirt and pants, standing with his hands on his knees.] however, because the people are beginning to see. What must we do to be saved? is a question that we ask with a great deal of solicitude. There are enough Negroes who are not posing as leaders, to fight the battle for the race very effectively at this time. They are sane, sober, industrious, courageous, self-sacrificing, intelligent toilers, who do not realize what a great company they may form to mold sentiment against the mercenary, self-seeking leaders, who have never done any practical work to improve the condition of the masses. This company of people can mold sentiment in favor of fair play and just treatment of a struggling people. There is in every community of any importance men of this type. They are quiet and comparatively unknown, outside of their community, but they are worth their weight in gold to a people in the condition that we are at this time. We need leaders just now who have influence enough to get audiences with the best men and women in their communities and to so impress them with the dependence of one race upon the other for real and permanent development that they will be constrained to co-operate in every practical and possible way to bring about mutual respect and mutual protection It is very necessary that we hold the positions that we have under the feal government, and that we hold any other positions of trust and honor. It is just as necessary that we give ourselves unreservedly to the task of molding public sentiment in favor of fair treatment. This work cannot be done by politicians who are hungry for "pje" and who would sell a little piece of Paradise for a political plum, but it must be done by those members of the race who are not standing around with their hats in their hands and their India rubber spinal columns half bent begging for political scraps. The demand must be made by the members of the race who are chucked full of a day's work and can do it so well that The Two "Dark Days" There are two "dark days" mentioned in the annals of New England. The first occurred on Oct. 21, 1716, when it suddenly became so dark soon after noon that the people were forced to use artificial lights to do their ordinary work. This strange condition of the atmosphere lasted about three and a half hours. Again, on May 19, 1780, there was a remarkable darkening of the atmosphere, but the phenomenon did not come on so suddenly as that upon the earlier date. The darkness in this latter instance began between 10 and 11 o'clock on the morning of the day named and lasted throughout the day. The darkness extended from the northeastern part of New England westward as far as Albany and southward to Pennsylvania. The most intense and prolonged darkness, however, was confined to Massachusetts, more especially to the seaboard. It is said to have come from the southwest, but there is no mention of it made in the history of Ohio or the Virginia. The exact cause still remains one of the unexplained mysteries. "Warned Off" the Turf. To be "warned off" is the most severe sentence that can be imposed on any one in England connected with the turf. Not only does it debar a man from owning, training or riding horses, but until the committee decides to revoke the punishment prevents him even from showing himself on any race course. This is so owing to the fact that the decision of the national hunt committee is registered automatically by the racing authorities in France and Ireland and of course by the Jockey club. Like the national hunt committee, the stewards of the Jockey club also reserve to themselves the right of summoning any rider whom they suspect of sharp practices or even carelessness to appear before them and, unless the explanation given proved satisfactory, to "suspend" any community is glad to have them. They are the merchants, ditch-diggers, farmers and a few in the professions. Deliverance must come and it will come only through this class of Negroes. Justice and fair play is all any Negro should ask, and any Negro worth living is willing to fight and die for these sacred rights. Our politicians have done more to make the race the nonentity that it is, than the rankest enemy outside the race. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES. The closing exercises of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, will be held on Thursday and Friday, June 5 and 6. The exercises are to be most interesting. Thursday is Field Day and the program will begin at 1 o'clock and run through the entire day. On Friday the closing exercises will be held at Howard Theatre at 4:30 p. m. The laundry has been built, but not equipped. We need twelve stationary tubs, a large laundry stove, and a simplex ironer for flat work. The equipment will cost about one thousand dollars. We must begin our canvass for this equipment at once. We are being asked on every hand whether we are going to take summer boarders or not. We plan to take a certain number of ladies who are seeking a place where they may have a quiet, restful, but pleasant vacation in the suburbs of the city. We cannot take persons whom, we do not know, or who are not recommended by persons with whom we are acquainted. Don't fail to witness the commencement of the National Training School at Howard Theater Friday, June 6, at 4:30. The first part of the program is to be a Folk Entertainment. You will enjoy this treat. or punish the orender in some other way.-London Answers. Turner's Carelessness. Perhaps the most prolific painter who ever lived was the great Turner. When he died his house in Queen Anne street, which he had not occupied for a long time, was found to be full of masterpieces all going to rack and ruin. Even the famous "Crossing the Brook," one of the priceless treasures of the National gallery in Trafalgar square, was there, with large pieces chipped off it. Many of Turner's masterpieces which he had refused to sell for "love or money" were almost ruined by the damp coming from defective windows and cellings. There were, besides the oil paintings, literally thousands of water color drawings "chuking about the place," any one of which would draw a little fortune at this moment from the pocket of an American millionaire. By his will he left them all to the nation.—London Spectator. FIRST SMILE IN THREE YEARS Convict Who Grinned Hasn't Speken In That Time. Stockton, Cal.—"Silent" Carson, the convict who was brought to this city for investigation by aliensists and who has not been known to utter a word during the three years that he has been under sentence of death for participation in a prison break, is reported to have smiled at one of the hospital attendants, and this may break down the obstacle that has prevented his execution on a charge of murder. Physicians who have had Carson under observation say this is the first display of any emotion on his part of which they have any record and that conclusions heretofore accepted as proving him insane may be reviewed. Carson is being subjected to a new and original system of investigation by several physicians. WROG TO WATCH BASEBALL Harvard Expert Says Spotsters Get Too Wrought Up. 'Cambridge, Mass. - Beware. O ye baseball fans, for you are the product of a radically wrong attitude toward athletics. Witnessing professional baseball contests tends to harmful excesses and immorality. Thus spoke Harvard's world famous strength expert, Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, recently. He said in part: "The excitement attending ball games as they are played at present is harmful. Our baseball fans nowadays are devotees of a game in exactly the same sense as are those fascinated by watching a roulette game or other games of chance. "Attendance at these games means that thousands of men and boys an even women become unduly excited over the athletic prowess of professional players. They leave the backgrounds with nerves tingling and spirits exalted if the game goes we and the question is. What outlet of those men and women find for the emotions thus aroused? I am tempted to leave the subject with an interrogation point. "There is nothing wrong with a big game as such more than there with a theatrical performance such, but such games arouse emotion without furnishing a motor outfit. This would not be the case if the game were actually played instead watched. We are overdoing one phase of the so called love of sport. "There is nothing in this hothor form of athleticism, and the less have of it the better." BISHOP PREPARES TO DIE Chooses Grave, Orders Cross and Cal Monument Maker.

IS DONE WITH PULPIT BECAUSE OF CRITI Fort Smith, Ark.-Members of congregation of the Hemphill Preserian church have been balloting; whether they will accept the restion of their pastor, the Rev. J Hicks, just now a floorwalker hoslery department of a big department store. The preacher is hoping they accept his resignation, for a taste of floorwalking has spoiled him for the pulpit. Hicks' advanced ideas of theology invited criticism among his flock, and without apologizing he resigned. Many of his church members, however, sympathized with him, and the ballot was taken as the best means of determining his relative popularity. The preacher and W. G. Burton, department store head, are close friends. Burton not long ago commented on the lack of help during the Christmas rush of last year. "Hire me." Hicks said. "If they accept my resignation I'll need the money to meet old obligations." "You're on." the merchant said. And Hicks went to work. The floorwalker went home tired the first night of his new work, which was a Saturday night, and the next morning he preached a sermon on "Why I Designed, or Cogs In the Wheels of Progress." Hicks is a deep student and until he took his new job never knew anything familiarly but theology. Some of the more stald members of his congregation regard his latest venture as the most daring and unconventional thing he ever attempted, but it is not his first departure from convention. $5,000 WHEN HE EARNS $1,000 Uncle Leaves Legacy Under This Condition to Nephew.

Recorder Johnson, the clerks must admit, is the most humane recorder of deeds that has ever had charge of that of- fice. If the clerks, the Bee means more particularly the white clerks, want’to be fair, they must admit that Mr. Johnson treats all of them gentlemenly! and fairly. ‘There are quite a number of| fair-minded white women in the recorder's office, and it is not be- lieved that all of them signed the paper against certain colored clerks. It is to be regretted any one colored clerk should have ac- costed any one about the segre- gation of the clerks in that office. It is only a tempest in a tea-pot and notiing more. If any affida- Vits have been made against any clerk in the recorder’s office its outsiders without first having submitted the complaint to the recorder should be reprimanded. It is not believed that Miss Den- ny’s alleged offense warrants her dismissal and.it is hoped that. Re- corder Johnson will settle this fe- ‘male row without injury to any- one, © There is Miss Noyes, a finer lady doesn’t exist in the office than she is. She is one female who belongs to the more fortu- nate race that has no prejudice against colored clerks, and no one comes in closer or nearer contact with them than Miss Noyes, the head comparer. The refined and educated white man or woman doesn't think that he or she is better than anybody- velse. The colored females in the recorder of deeds office are high- ly educated. Many of them are colleve and normal school gradu- ates and so far as ability and ed- ucation are concerned, they far surpass many of the white clerks. It is doubtful whether there is ‘one white female clerk in the of- fice of therecorder of deeds that is a college or normal school graduate, and just what gets it into their heads that they are su- perior to the-colored clerks the Bee doesn’t know. If the editor of the Bee could be placed in Re- corder Johnson's shoes forty-five minutes, Senator O. Gorman _would be cither satisfied or dis- pleased. The Bee doesn't en- dorse, however,’ impoliteness or disreSpect of any employee to an- other. If the colored clerk is in the wrong, she ought to be tady enough to go to the other clerk and apologize. If both are wrong it is their duty to go to the re- corder and apologize for any wrong doing. Then again, if there. are white male or female clerks in thé recorder of deeds of- fice who think themselves super- ior to colored clerks, let the col- ored clerks remain to themselves. Tf a colored clerk is not good enough for a‘white clerk to speak to, a colored clerk, when he or she is met upon tl e public streets outside of the recorder's office the colored clerk should treat the white clerk with tne same degree of indifference when he or she meets the white clerk on the in. side. A highly cultured white man or woman has no color prej. udice. If colored women are so obnox fous to white men why are they continually prs :d by them: Let no colored woman allow her: self to be insulted by any white man. Our colored women are al. ways in danger. .No respectable colored woman very seldom es: ewes from the insults of white ee BENJAMIN TILLMAN OF SOUTH CAROLINA. In another column we publish letters in answer to queries ad- dressed to Senator Ben Tillman by Nick Chiles, editor of The Topeka Plaindealer, with the view to ascertaining as to whether and to what extent the Senator has modified his views in the race question. It seems that Editor Chiles’ letters were inspired by “the opinion that he (Tillman) is growing more favorable to the cause of the black race” and that, therefore, a frank atknowledgment of a change of heart would be speedily and gloriously forthcoming. Dead sea fruit! The Senator came back reiterating, boastirig, blus- tering, threatening and evading. He likes the Negroes “much bet- ter in their places than dagoes, but out of their places he has no use fof them.” He blasters and brags about white supremacy and threatens the race with the awful consequences of extermination if it accepts any other hypothesis. He boasts that “the white man is ‘the superior race of the world,” objects to the admission of the Mongolian on the ground that the “races are not assimilable” and seeks to belittle the Negro in comparison with the Japs, etc., etc. Finally he charges the Republican party with cowardice and insin- cerity in its endeavor to establish the principles of equality before the ‘law without regard to race or color and throws down the gauntlet before fifteen hundred millions of unaroused giants, from whom he learned his A B C's, with a de- bonair which would do credit to a quixotic knight and in true cavalierly impudence informs the cditor of the Plaindealer that “it is not worth while for you to write me any more letters, for I shall not notice them by replying.” Indeed! In replying to Tillman we feel like according to him the protection similar to which the skunk is provided against his hunters. But lest we forget, we desire to say, while plugging our olfactories, that it matters but little what he thinks of us, in our place or out of it. Strange as it may seem, he, will not live always—at least in a state of white supremacy. It might be well to remind this “chick,” two- thirds of whose shell is still clinging to its unclassified body, that more than two thousand years before Christ was born, six hundred years before letters were introduced into Greece, one thousand years before the Trojan war, fifteen hundred years before Rome was founded, great architectural works existed in Egypt; that its civilization four thousand years ago was higher than that of China or Japan today; and that the literary and scientific accomplish- ments, the proficiency in the industrial and fine arts exhibited by that people remain the wonder and admiration of the world, To this Tillman will reply that Egypt has nothing to do with the Negro; but Herodotus says otherwise and the least liberal Egyp- tologist has been compelled to admit that “the ancient race of Egypt was probably partly Asiatic and partly Negro.” As.to the political rights of the Negro, we agree that “political rights are simply morals applied to public’ affairs—the rules of right and wrong which apply to individuals and communities alike, and that oppression by an individual is detestable, but oppression ‘by law is worse. “Hard and inscrutable when the law to which a citzen nat- urally looks for protection becomes itself a standing peril. As Montesquiew pnts it, “the man is drowned by the very plank on which he thought to escape.” Tillman still holds the plank, but the Negro is already “on board.” Ta Ta! | Our good friend, Attorney A. W. Scott, electrified Convention Hall last Sunday evening. There were fully six thousand people crowed in the hall and many hundreds turned away. Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson will exercise his perogative as recorder of deeds. Ii there is any speaking to be done he will do it, The latest report from the colored democratic headquarters is that President Wilson will make two colored democratic appoint- ments in a week or two or soon after the adjournment of Congress ‘Mr. Patterson, we understand, is slated to succeed Register J. C. Napier at the expiration of his term of service. The ministers in the colored churches should urge their mem- bers to subscribe for and read the Bee. “oe Revs. Dr. Brooks, Corrothers, Norman, Jackson, Clair, Mitchell, Johnson, and others are in a positon to do great good for the people. There are to be three hundred discharges in the Bureau of En- graving and Printing in July. Will history repeat itself? Director Ralph liad nothing to do with making the order of segregation of the races. It comes from higher up. There will be no segregation in hell or heaven. = = = men, no matter how much the colored woman rebukes them. * It is the honest colored woman who resents an insult from any white man and it is the demi monde wha embraces his_over- turés. The Bee would advise the colored women of the recorder’s office to respect themselves and be loyal to their chief, no matter what may come. This race pro- scription cannot last very long. The time will soon. come when the last shall be first and the first ‘ast. Our colored women, for beauty, refinement and education far surpass those who, today, would have the colored men and women acknowledge their inferi- ority. Such is the conception of fools and asses. The Bee is proud of its female. Real beauty can always be found in the colored race, so let us be contented in mind. Because of the tempest in a teapot, this so-called Fair Play Association wanted the Citizens Association of Georgetown te |recommend a white man recorder of deeds. All administrations democratic and republican, have always given this particular office to some colored man. There arc numbers of colored men who sup- ported Mr. Wilson fully compe. tent for the place. Tivo of the best qualified lawyers for the of. fice, if a change is to be made at the expiration of the term. of Re. corder Johnson, would be A. B. Casey or Ralph W. Langston the son of the late John Mercer Langston. These men have no’ only dignity -but reputation, anc would reflect credit upon the race they represent. The Bee wouk like to see Recorder Johnson re- main and those white womer who made affidavits will regret the day when he retires. Why not let well enough alone? 7 Have The Bee sent to vour hom JUDGE STAFFORD SUS: . . TAINED. %% Judge Stafford of the District Supreme Court was sustained, in the Green case by the Court of Appeals. The Bee at the time the appeal was noted stated that the lower court would be sus- tained. The Bee gave common sense reasons, No man, no mat- ter who he may be, should allow a plea of guilty for a hienous crime to escape the gallows. Green committed a most brutal criminal assault upon a woman which should not be allowed to go unpunished and by death at that. The attorneys in the case, Messrs.

About sixteen follow- ers of old Esculapius have entered the list, and just about that many Black- stonian heirs are out for the place.

With all, these candi- ‘dates, 1 got to wondering yesterday what's’ in the position outside of “damned if you do and damned if you don't,” [heard it in a talking factory (that’s a colored barber shop) the other day that one fellow laid off for a half hour or so and saw the judges and told them if they would appoint him he would immediately resign. The talking factory ‘dope was to the effect that the judges were a little afraid of being handed a gold brick, and inti- mated that much, whereupon the can- didate assured them. that he wéuld hand in his resignation ,in advance of the appointment if they would only appoint him.

There are some who are following ahead of the Doctor sprinkling objection tacks in his path, Now, Doc. would make a mighty good member, I am thinking. Thomas L.

Then there's old “silence and fun,” Doc.

There ain't no flies on Doc. Cabiniss.

Now that George Cook doesn't have to .superintend the con- struction of a residence for himself on Howard campus, George’ might be avail- able as an “alo runner.” If George was elected member he would certainly keep ‘em chalking up action at the top of the board of activity. "They seem to all agree that Horner can’t succeed him: self.

C, Sunday, ar ba: | The annual thanksgiving services of the Grand United Order of Odd Fel- lows in America was held at Conven- tion Hail Sunday night, May 11. The meeting was scheduled to begin at 7:30 o'clock, and the great auditorium was filled to its overflow long before that hour. It was estimated that there were fully eight or nine thou- sand people in the audience, and it was also estimated by many of the oldest citizens to be the largest gath- ering of our people at one time in the history of the District of Columbia, The people were présented with a magnificent program; consisting of many beautiful musical numbers. The statistics of the order were read by Mr. William [. Lee, District Grand Secretary, and Miss Hattie McIntosh, District Worthy Recorder, The ora- tion of the order was delivered by Armond W, Scott, Esq. P. N. F, Old Ark Lodge No. 1693. The sermon of the evening was de- livered by Rev. Dr. Winfield Henri Mixon, of Selma, Ala, and it was a masterpiece of rhetoric, logie and ora- tory. He covered himself in glory, and the people of Washington willl long remember the splendid and scholarly sermon delivered by that intellectual giant, who hails from Selma, Ala. The Bee congratulates the Commit- tee on Arrangements for the splendid showing made through them by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. There has been nothing but praise of them heard on every hand. Every branch of the order was rep- resented on this occasion, from the Juveniles to the Patriarchs, and the showing made demonstrated clearly that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is the greatest fraternal or- ganization among our people in this country. ‘We print below in full the masterly address delivered by Lawyer Armond W.

AND MRS CURTIS Celebrate Their Silver Wedding Anniversary—Washington's Society Turns Out En Masse to a Most Notable Affair—Beautiful Decorations and Many Elegant Presents, and Handsome Gowns. Brilliant illuminations, an artistic arrangement of exotics and varied-blooded blooms, whose aroma permeated the air, and last, but not least, an assemblage of beautiful women, stunningly gowned, and gentlemen in evening attire—summed up, that was the twenty-fifth wedding anniversary of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur M. Curtis, which was celebrated at their home in Thirteenth Street last Monday evening, May 12. Twenty-five years is but a short span when connubial bliss and an interesting family contribute to make but minutes of hours and but days of years. Twenty-five years ago Dr. and Mrs. Curtis plighted vows, for weal or woe. Weal has followed their lives, and success and happiness accompanied them through the long, short journey. "From eight till ten" read the invitations received by friends to assist them in celebrating their silver anniversary, and from the initial hour until past the limit hour there was a veritable crush of Washington's society to wish the another anniversary twenty-five years hence. The house was most attractively decorated. In the front parlor, in which was assembled the receiving line, there were graceful palms, banked artistically, and aromatic blooms enhanced under effulgent lights. In the dining room, over which a bevy of misses presided, carnations and roses of varied hues fairly ran riot. The table was a dream of loveliness with its centerpiece of vari-colored carnations, and sweet peas, here and there, to help make up a most artistic floral scheme of decoration. In the receiving line were Dr. and Mrs. Curtis, their sons, Dr A. L., A. M. Jr. and Merrill, daughter Gertrude, and Miss Eleanor Curtis sister of the Doctor, Mrs. B. K Bruce, Mrs. R. H. Terrell, Mrs. Chas I. West, Mrs. Chas, Pickett, Mrs. William Lofton, Mrs. Arthur S. Gray Mrs. Alfred Lewis and Miss Louise Wormley. Presiding in the dining room were Miss Pearl Lewis, Miss Lillian Evans, Miss Dorothy Waring and the Misses McKinlay. Mrs. Curtis received in a handsome gown of oyster white panne brocaded velvet trimmed with rhinestone and crystals, and with court train of silvered pink panne velvet. If esteem can be estimated by the number of handsome presents—and it can—then, judging from the very large number of presents, beautiful silverware of every description, Dr. and Mrs. Curtis must number their friends by the hundreds. Rarely has there been seen such a beautiful display of beautiful and magnificent silverware, ranging from silver tea services of exquisite design to bits of silver conceits which lend attractiveness to the sideboard and china closet. Friends from near and afar were represented by handsome presents, which attested the high esteem in which the couple is held. Attending in the presents were Mrs. R. C. Bruce, Mrs. Walter Pinchback, Miss Blanch Nalle, Miss Helen Gordon and the Misses Terrell. The gowns worn by the ladies in the receiving line were the acme of the mantumaker. Toute ensemble, the affair was one of the prettiest and most notable ever given in Washington. During the hours of receiving fully four hundred guests called to congratulate the couple on having passed twenty-five years of happy married life, and to wish them many happy returns, and the many ladies present, exquisitely gowned, gave to the affair a bewildering scene of beauty which, in after years, will be recalled by the Doctor and his twenty-five-year bride as a most gratifying epoch in their lives—lives which were crowned with happiness and which have culminated in happiness, and a most interesting family. very lively. Just now our people are coming out and buying homes very fast. Sunday, the 12th, was a good day in Zion Baptist Church. The pastor, Rev. E. Thomas Broadus, delivered a splendid sermon on "Baptism" at 11 a.m. At 1 p. m. seven were baptized. Rev. Tylers (Mt. Airy) at 3 p. m. gave fellowship to seven, assisted by Rev. E. Blackwell. Rev. Broadus leaves this week to serve his Virginia church on the third Sunday. Zion is on the move. Rev. Mills of the First Baptist Church is doing well. His people love him. Rev. A. Randall of the Deanewood M. E. Church keeps his work well in hand. He is a splendid all-around Christian. Rev. Broadus will be with Rev. Blackwell of the Beulah Baptist Church on the fourth Sunday at 3 p. m. with his choir, which is one of the best in this section. Miss Jennifer's Tour.

She is the daughter of Professor and Mrs. William Jennifer, of 445 Second Street Southwest, this city. FALLS CHURCH NOTES. It may be said for the Second Baptist Church people that there was "a great day in Zion" for last Sunday. The "Mothers' Meeting" Department of the church ended their two-weeks evangelistic services with satisfactory results for the church. After a short Sunday School service, the pastor led quite a long line of officers, members and visiting church friends, including six candidates for baptism, down to the water, where there was already awaiting their arrival a good crowd of interested church people. The baptismal services were impressively performed by Pastor Powell. On returning to the church covenant meeting took place followed by communion. The covenant meeting was conducted by Sisters Susie Campbell and Lena Dixon, the president, and vice president, respectively, of the "Mothers' Meeting." The congregation was a large one and the spirit of the meeting good. As the outcome of this revival thirteen members—six by baptism and seven additions—were read into the church membership during the day. At the night service the "Mothers' Meeting" was addressed by Miss Riddle, a white lady mission-worker of Falls Church. She gave excellent, helpful advice to the mothers. This day being Mothers' Day throughout the land, Revs. Powell and Barnett, Sisters Campbell and Dixon gave talks on the subject. The choir rendered spiritual singing. A rising vote of appreciation for the address of Miss Riddle was given by the entire congregation. The morning services at Galloway M. E. Chapel began with Sunday School at usual hour. Owing to the baptizing there were only twenty-three pupils present, but the usual interest was shown and the lesson reviewed and explained by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Colbert. There was also a short address by Rev. Barnett. Class No. 1 still keeps the banner. The school was visited by Miss Edna Lucas, of Washington, who remained till after preaching. Mr. R. Fitzhugh and wife came down Sunday on a visit to his parents, Mr. Isaac Fitzhugh and Mrs. Kate Fitzhugh. They were well entertained, returning on the evening excursion train from Washington to Philadelphia. Mrs. Kate Fitzhugh is a devoted mother and was an ever active member and worker in the church "Mothers' Meetings." Mrs. Pearl Harris, of Vienna, Va., and Miss Mabel Brown were the guests Sunday of Miss Frances Tinner. Mr. Percy Taylor came out from the city Saturday evening last and spent the Sabbath with his parents, Mr. Henry Taylor and wife, Mrs. Georgia Taylor, our enterprising and successful lady merchant. Mr. Charles Hyson, of Merrifield, Va., and Mr. Charlie Coats were guests Sunday of Miss Frances Tinner. Mrs. Rose Redman was in attendance at the baptismal, covenant and communion services of the Second Baptist Church, of which she is a devoted member, Sunday. She has now gone for a fortnight's stay in Williamstown, Mass., and other points north, visiting many of the Falls Church folks that are residing in Massachusetts points, also stopping in New York. She has many friends, we hear, and is widely known throughout that section. On her return trip, which we trust will be a safe and pleasant one, she will visit Miss Emma Tinner and Miss Julia Cakey in Germantown, Pa. Mr. Edward Lee, who has been occupying the house of Mrs. Sarah Henderson, has rented and moved into the house recently completed and owned by Mrs. Almira Honesty. Rev. Dr. G. W. Powell, the faithful and popular pastor of Second Baptist Church, left on Tuesday morning to attend the great meeting of the Virginia Baptist convention of churches, holding sessions at Richmond, Va., beginning with Wednesday, May 14. We trust this, his first trip to Richmond, will be an enjoyable one in every sense and that the good Doctor will return clothed in some of the official honors of the Virginia Baptist State work. MERRIFIELD, VA. NEWS. Mr. Walter Hunter, who has been a resident of New York City for the past five years, recently returned home on account of illness.

The extended school term of the Fairmount Heights School is progressing nicely. Three teachers are being employed. The trustees, teachers, parents and friends of the school are raising the funds with which to pay the expenses of the same. The picnic, which will be held Monday afternoon and night, May 19, 1913, will be one of the greatest ever held here. Invitations have been extended to the friends in Washington, D. C., to be present. The services of the M. E. Church were interesting as usual. Quite a number of friends in the community and from Washington, D. C., were there. Mr. R. S. Nichols, on behalf of Mrs. Laura Nichols, Mrs. Lavinia Briscoe, and Miss Lillian Knight, presented to the stewards of the M. E. Church, to be applied on the pastor's salary, the handsome curse of twelve ($12.00) dollars, for which the church gave a rising vote of thanks. The thanksgiving sermon of the Home Builders Lodge of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows was preached at the First Baptist Church, May 11, 1913, by Rev. J. D. Pair, pastor of one of the Baptist churches at Arlington, Va. Rev. Pair gave the lodge some timely advice which, if kept, will be of great good to Fairmount Heights. Under the heading of the Fairmount Heights News last week it was stated that the petition taken through Upper Marlboro, Md, by Wm. H. Addison and others asking the removal of the trustees of the Fairmount Heights School bore the names of Messrs. R. D. Mullius, Wm. Dorsey and W. O. Dawson. Upon investigation it is stated by the gentlemen mentioned that they did not sign the petition, that they had not authorized anyone to sign their names to any paper and that they did not know anything about the matter. Evidently the names were forged to the paper by Wm. H. Addison, as it was he that presented the writing to the School Board. Upon further investigation it was found that the patrons of the school are satisfied with the administration of the trustees and that they are doing excellent work. It was found that the trustees of the school, since their appointment, have secured for the community sufficient money to purchase four building lots and erected thereon a nine four-room school building. They have secured all the necessary equipment, books, desks, fine heating apparatus; they have secured also the entire equipment of the Huntsville school including the school house and grounds. The trustees have been careful in appointing teachers, always appointing graduates of the high and normal schools of Washington, D. C. They visit the school from time to time and sign the reports of the teachers. They have taught in the school the branches authorized to be taught by the laws of the State. Excellent services are being held at the First Presbyterian Church here. It is the hope that Rev. McCary will accept the call to the pastorate of the Church.

These fruits of. the Spirit. the Apostle says, can bh seen—are manifest—meekness. rcentle ness, patience. long-suffering, brother Jy-kinuness, love. These fruits must be developed I our bearts They will be manifestec in our thoughts, words and deeds = The riper the Christian, the riper the fruits If no fruits appear, then there is ne Christian “If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of [1is* But these fruits may be so overshadow ed by wenknes<es of the flesh that st may Dot see to what extent he {3 fiziit ing a good fixht against the world, thr flesh and the Devil, ~ When Pentecost came, the disciple- «Were not prepared to manifest immed ately ripe fruitage of the Spirit.

Training of the men in maneuvers and Mobilization would be valuable to the army, he declared, and he directed that the greatest attention be given to the solution of the transportation problem. He insisted that the exolving of a new plan for the distribution of supplies for an army in the field was all important MAILED A GREEN COCOANUT. ——wy et Case Where Postoffice Carried Package Containing Liquid. Indianapolis, Ind—"Guess you'd bet- ter handle tals carefully. Sounds lke it might break,” sald a postman as he gingerly handed a big brown package over the desk of a hotel here. The clerk looked first at the package, then at the postman, with a puzzled expression on bis countenance. He picked up the package and shook it. ‘There was a sound of dashing water, then he saw the lubel, “Palm Beach cocoanut,” and he lauglied. It was not a patent bottle or an ostrich egg. It was Just 1 cocoanut, but different in appearance from the kind offered tu the local market. The smooth outer shell had not been removed, and the label and postage were pasted right om the nut. The cocoanut weighed three pounds, and it cost 24 cents to send it by par- cel post from Palm. Beach, Fla. The nut was sent to Homer I. Cutsinger. SECOND TRIAL SOON FOR.SZABO MURDER Burton W.

Montrose, Colo.—A mountaimlion, the largest ever captured in this part of the country, was caught by Uri Hotch- kiss, hunter and trapper of Colona, six milés east of here. The lion stands three feet high, is niue feet from tip of nose to end of tail and weighs 146 pounds. Hotchkiss heard of the lion and, in company with his son George and Roy Humphrey. started out with a pack of dogs. The dogs tre¢d the Non. Hotch- \dss climbed the tree armed only with a@ rope. The lon chased him down several times, but finally he threw the rope around the beast’s neck. The other men hauled the animal down, secured him with ropes, and the party took the lon to Colona. ‘TO MAKE SPARROWS DRUNK. | When Intoxicated Théy Will Be Killed ; Humanely. Greeley.

ODD FELLOWS (Continued from page Attorney A. W. Scott, the orator of the evening, delivered the following address: Master of Ceremonies, Members of the Patriarchy, Members of the Past Grand Masters’ Council, Mem- bers of the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 20, Mem- bers of the District Grand House- hold of Ruth, Members of the Or- der, and Ladies and Gentlemen: We have gathered ourselves to- tether tonight in this vast assem- ‘lage pursuant to a general law, assed by the Fifteenth or Baltimore tiennial Movable Committee, which ais upon all Odd Fellows, to meet nthe second Sunday night of May. ‘order t¢ offer_up our thanks and catitude to the Grand Master of the tiverse for the blessings which He ts bestowed upon the members of ir Order, and the Order in general, wing the past year. and there has en_no year during the existence of Order in which we have received sater blessings than those which ve come to this splendid Order dur- ¢ the past year. ft was the desire for mutual im- + ovement and the general uplift of sir persecuted and oppressed breth- 1 that actuated a small ‘number of Negroes in the cities of New wk and Philadelphia, even many ars before the Civil War. 40 organ- and maintain _ literary societies. “The leading one in New York was known and styled as the Philoma. thean_ Institute, and the one in Phila. delphia, the "Philadelphia. Library “Company ani Debating Society. ‘And it was through this medium that "the nucleus was germinated from which, only a short time there- after, grew into full fruition, the first “lodge of colored Odd Fellows ir America. This lodge was named Philomathe- -an Lodge No. 646, and establishec and set apart by Peter Odgen in the City of New York, on the first day o May, 1843. The splendid examples of persever. ance, courage and self-denial whict was exhibited by the few men whc first conceived the idea of establish. ‘ing the Order of Odd Fellows amon; the Negroes in this country have -served through all the years, as a con. stant stimulus and inspiration to mer -and women who have the interest: -of this Order at heart, to spur then ‘ on ta greater and grander achieve -ments. Like all pioneers of ne: first buffeted about, and their cHorts) were opposed on every hand, They petitioned the’ white Odd Fellows of New York City for 2 dispensation on behalf of the Philomathean Institute, and their petition was treated with contempt. They made another effort, but they were again repulsed. It was about this time that Peter Odgen, a colored man, who was ste- ward of a ship-sailing between New York and Liverpool, arrived in New York and heard of the unsuccessful efforts of the colored men to obtain admission to the white Order of Oud, Fellows in this country.’ Himself al- ready being an Odd Fellow, and a member of Victoria Lodge: No. 448, Liverpool, England, he used his infiu- ence to dissuade the men from mak- ing any further effort to obtain mem- bership in the white order in this country. He assured them that he hailed from a land which knew no man by the color of his skin or the texture of his liair, and whose people stood ready and willing to extend the glad hand of Friendship, Love and Truth cven across the briny ocean, and welcome their brothers in black into the mysteries and benefits of their Order. He convinced his anx- ious brothers that, England would not /turn a deaf car to the appeals of a ‘struggling race seeking truth’ and light.” And just as soon as Peter Og- den reached Rritish soil again he pre- sented to Victoria Lodge in Eiver- pool the request for a dispensatiqn to establish the first lodge of colored Odd Fellows in America, which re- quest was immediately granted with- -out the slightest hesitancy or regerva- tion. Thus the splendid foundation was laid upon which has been erected the magnificent superstructure of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America, dedicated to the princi- ples of Friendship, Love and Truth, and the progresy of the Order has kept apace with the spirit of the time, until we now have a membership of nearly five hundred thousand (500,- 000) and hundreds of thousands of dollars in money and property. The pioncers of this movement were actuated by the spirit enunciated by the words of that matchless poet: “You cannot bridle the tongue, * Yon cannot conquer the will— You cannot make me hate man, For man’s my, brother still.” By a strange concatenation of cir- cumstances, the vessel to which Peter Ogden was attached was named “Pat- rick Henry,” the man whose entire life and efforts may be summed up in that ever memorable expression ut- tered by him. in Richmond, Va., in 1776, and which will live as long as time endures—‘Give me liberty or give me death.” Peter Ogden was imbued with the same spirit. He dreaded the idea of secing his brethren yoluntarily hu- miliating themselves, by seeking rec- ognition from men who only treated them with scorn and contempt. He wantéd them recognized as men and by men. He wanted liberty and he wanted it to come from the fountain head, whose stream had not been pol- luted by the virus of caste-prejudice and proscription. He wanted them to start out under such circumstances that the influence would go down through future generations and in- spire the men and women of the race to stop short of nothing less than to demand and secure every right guar. anteed to us both by the laws of God and man, And thank God some of us have caught the inspiration. } On the 21st day of February, 1844, the first Sub-committee of Manage: ment was chosen and a short time thereafter a dispensation was granted and Lodge No. 710 of New York City was established and set apart. It was not long before the Order began to extend its influence and member- ship, and today we have lodges in all parts of the civilized world. We will not attempt to give you statistics or to go into the details of | facts and figures as to the progress made by this splendid Order from ‘Hee ws de hk Ol LL” eee nein eae | ern i) ae ‘ Si e i ees pa \ ea 7 ht i ~ ee pos oe a RS Po s tee 62: ooo ee) 43 AUR : % + pa Q Kes. ATTORNEY A. W. SCOTT. eet _ are too familiar with its entire his- tory. We have flourished as even the green bay tree. We have relieved the sick and distressed and buried the dead. The appeals of the widows and orphans have been heard and an- awered, and our coffers have been filled with money. But alas! the glitter of gold has’ from time to time lured into the ‘membership of the Order a few un- ‘scrupulous and designing men whose only object was to filch the treasury. Caring nothing about the aath and obligation solemnly made at the si- cred altar, but bent upon taking ev- ery advantage available to further their own personal ambitions and gain. They may be fittingly charac- terized as {Fraternal Blood Suckers,” who will sooner or later.sap out the life and vitals of any organization in which they are allowed to remain. And I am sorry to admit that this splendid organization of ours has been so infested and infected. Since the organization of the first lodge ‘of this Order in this country up until only a few years ago, all the business of this—the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows—has been suc- cessfully carried on and attended to by the Annual and Biennial Movable Committee and the Sub-committee of Management. And they did their work excellently and well, But, unfortunately for the best in- terests of this Order, there were a few men in control who thought that there was 4oo much money in the treasury, and that there ought to he rsome fneans set on foot whereby it could be put into circulation, and in some alleged legal manner draw thereffom large sums of ‘money. for their own use and personal benelit, upon the theory of rendering alleged services: Needless offices with larse salaries attached were created over the protest of thousands of humble members of the Order, who, after all, are the very web, woof and bone and sinew of the Order, and who hear its burdens and pay the money which enables it to live and flourish. In the due course of human events there was created at the instance o! a few men a Supreme Court of the Order. consisting of a Chief Justice and three (3) Associate Justices. whose salaries are as. follows: Seven hundred dellars ($700) a year for the Chief Justice and six hundred dollars ($600) per year for each of the three (3) Associate Justices, and their traveling expenses and other eapense incident to said meetings, to. be charged up to the Order. The Jus- tices meet twice a year, thereby drawing about one himdred dollars ($100) per day as compensation, + The office of Attorney General was also created with a salary of five hun- dred dollars ($500) per year. Also numerous ofher offices, which are no earthly use or service to the mainte- nance of this Order or. the conduct of its business, The people began to become fest- less and dissatisfied. They saw that if something was not soon dorte, this Order, which is so dear to every member, would soon crumble and de- cay, > : “Fraternal Cancers” had begun ta eat their way into its vitals and radi- cal remedies had to be resorted to, or_all was lost. Through the acumen and_ bull- dogged tenacity of Henry P. Slaugh- ter; that honest son of toil, the eru- dite editor of the Odd Fellows Jour. nal, a full expose of the rottennes: of a few men who are members of this Order was heralded to the world and soon a nation-wide movement was set on foot to stamp out this evil, and_ thus enabled’ the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows tc march on to the lofty heights of fra- ternalism, which God and Peter Og. den intended and destined it te reach. Men and women were aroused as they were never before. And they caught the spirit and fire of the words of William Lloyd Garrison: “T will not equivocate, T will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch— And I will be heard.” And God was ‘in the movement There was no let up and no earthly power could stop them until they had cleaned out the “Augean Stables.” Finally, a mighty phalanx of more than two thousand. (2,000) brave anc determined men of this Order, like | Sherman, marched on through Geor: | sia, until they reached Atlanta where their efforts were crowned it | victory. | It was in this place that God raisec ‘up a Moses; who was soon to leat the Children ot Israel out of the land of bondage. }t was at this time and at this place that there appeared upon the scene that moral giant, that ‘mighty tower of strength, who stood there-as a bulwark against the on- slaught of the enemy. He electrified and aroused the people as they were never arcused before, and the influ- ence of his cloquence, like the influ- ence of the moon upon the waters, raised the tide of the multitude, till, overleaping all bounds, itburst forth with such impetuosity that it swept from the leadership of this Order those men who would have otherwise accomplished its downfall. I refer to the orator of the even- ing, the Rev. Dr. Winfield Henri Mixon, of Selma, Ala. For all these blessings we meet here tonight to thank God from whom all blessings flow. I therefore call upon you tonight, ladies and gentlemen, to rise wp. in your might and assist us in carrying | on to completion that splendid re- form movement which was so ef- fectively started at Atlanta, ‘Let it be understood in every. subordinate lodge that every man who is sent as a delegate to the next Biennial Moy. able Committee shall go solemnly bound to cast his ballot to abolish the so-called Supreme Court, the office o the Attorney General, and every other sinecure with which this Order is now hampered. Then and not until thea will we cease to wage warfare: then and no! until then will this Order flourist and enjoy happiness, tranquility anc prosperity. 7 Andin conclusion, let me admon ish you to Took wp, take courage, anc remember that right will anvays ul {timately triumph.

Green, Chairman of the Board of Judges — Principal Newman's Geeie Success. First Lieutenant John E. Green, Twenty-fifth Infantry, U. S.A, and commandant of cadets at Wilberforce University, Ohio, has been ordered by the Secretary of War: to report to Washington for duty in connection with the annual competitive drill ofthe high school cadets. Lieutenant Green will be chairman of the Board of Judges for the drill, ‘The high schools are already getting “into the spirit” of the occasion and the cadets themselves will experience—most of them—their first firing with blank cartridges on Monday on the campus of Howard University. The extended or- der in which the firing takes place will be under the direct supervision of Col- one! Brooks. ‘To Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Brooks belongs the highest praise for the serv. ce which he has rendered the boys of the high schools and the community. He took the batallion when it consisted of, one company and gradually built it up through his perseverance and soldier- ly skill to the six companies of which the organization now consists. The Separate Batallion of High School ca- dets js not a mere “tin soldier” organi- zation. And it is not established for the purpose of making soldiers out of boys. ‘The prime purpose of the organization is to make better young men physically, especially. Many a young fellow with weak tendencies towards. being round shouldered have been inestimably helped through the trainng which the battalion affords. The boy who was inclined to walk in an ungainly manner has seen in himself (and his friends have no- ticed) the marked improvement which his membership in the battalion thas made in his walk and his general bear- ing. . And again, the battalion teaches the first law of a military organization—the law of obedience, It teaches a boy the respect for authority. When a lad learns to respect the authority which a position invests in his own classmates and schoolmates, it is easy, for him to submit to the authority of those in higher official circles. And respect for others is retroactive. - These things Colonel Brooks has in- culated into the cadet corps. He. is looked upon as the Father of the high school boys and is genuinely admired by all of them. He is not alone their in- structor but their friend. . The printing for the competitive drill is being done by the class in printing at the O Street Industrial School. This class, under the excellent tutorship_ of W. Calvin Chase, Jr., is, anique addi- tion to the public’ school system. The competitive drill is giving the class op- portunity for practical wark in the sub- ject in which they are being trained for a livelihood. ‘Arthur C. Newman, prin- cipal of the Cardozo Vocational School, is the general manager of the drill, | ‘W. W, Martin. Harpers Ferry, W. Va. Mr. W. W. Martin, who has recent- ly leased Myrtle Hall at Storer Col- lege, as a summer hotel, has been for- tunate enough to secure the services of Miss A.V. Smith, a member of Storer College Faculty, as matron of the hall. Miss Smith will pay special attention to the comfort of the la- dies.

It touches every fiber of the social and industrial and re- ligious life of the people through a multiplicity of organizations to which it offers an “open “door.” It is the natural forum of the masses—the ral- lying point of every forward move- rient in the community, Among the niany. progressive assemblies that utilize the ¥.

Addressed by Speakers of Interna- tional Note, At various times since its dedica- tion the Y. M. C. A.'s big mass meet- ings have been addressed by some of the most tminent men known to the times in which we live. They have ‘been of both races and of all creeds. Among those of international_note might be mentioned President Theo- dore Roosevelt, President William Howard Taft,” William Jennings Bryan, Ambassador James Bryce of England, Dr. Booker T, Washington, and Senators William E, Borah, John D. Works and Reed Smoot. Recently the association was honored by 2 visit from Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago merchant-philanthropist, who ‘expressed himself as particularly pleased with the local building, and was proud that he had been ina po- sition to give the $23,000 that ‘made possible its completion on a scale adequate to the needs of a city like Washington. The building here is the first of the big Y. M. C. A, homes to be established, and necessarily it is looked upon as a model for all of the other communities who aspire to a place in its class. Mr, Rosenwald agreed to give $25,000 for the next five years to the colored people of every city that will pledge itself to erect a $100,000 Y, M. C. A. home. Chicago, Indianapolis’ and several other cities have followed the na- tional Capital in complying with the conditions exacted. The Men at the Helm. An institution is said to be but the “lengthened shadow of some great man.” The local Y. M. C. A. is the result of the earnest, painstaking and consecrated labors ‘of a number of great men—great because they have done and are doing great things. The association was fortunate in being able to secure the services at the psychological moment of Mr. Lewis E, Johnson, of Cleveland, Ohio, who came here fresh from a monumental Christian work among the miners at Buxton, Iowa, He is a young man of ‘high character, of tireless energy and of altruistic spirit, To him, inore than to: any other single individual, the erection and cquipment of the Washington ¥. M. C. A. home is due. Modest and unassuming, he has made himself a power among all classes here, and has paved the way for even greater things in the future, In ad» dition to the onerous duties of su- pervising the building of the Y. M. C.A., Mr. Johnson took a full course in the Law Department of Howard University and graduated with honors from that institution last June and was admitted to practice before the District, bar. The Committee of Management, up- on whose broad shoulders the lion’s share of the deliberative labors of the association rests, is made up of such substantial men‘ as I, J. Morton, chairman; O.

Largest Negro.Hotel in the County Great Improvement, Etc. One of the most quiet and one of the most progressive men in, this city is Mr. James O. Holmes, proprietor of the Holmes Hotel,’ 333 Virgirlia Avenue Southwest. This is no doubt the largest hotel conducted by col- ored men in this country. Mr. Holmes has remodeled his hotel and added ‘several large rooms. This hotel has now sixty rooms or more, with all modern convenience and up to date ‘in every particular. The summer gar- den has been enlarged and newly painted. New: electric lights have been installed and a new platform erected for musicians. Every'room in the house has been newly painted and renovated. The inside reception room leading to the summer garden is be- jing put in good shape. ‘The bar has been beautifully touched up, which now gives the front entrance a fas- cinating appearance. Mi. Holmes has adopted white uniforms and the ban- ner of the Holmes Hotel inscribed on the collar and sleeves. There is an excellent cafe connected with the hotel, where the guests are served with ‘meals in good order. There is no man in this city any more appre- ciated than Mr. Holmes. He is do- ing all in his power to conduct a first- class, up-to-date hotel for his people. The Holmes Hotel is, no doubt, the oldest and one of the best known ho- tels in this country, and if he con- tinues to improve his place of busi- ness the people in the Southwest will have a right to feel proud of having ‘the only colored up-to-date hotel in ‘the city for colored people: Children’s May Carmival. fel tee eT” CNP eer. ee ei formance ever given by children in this city was presented at the Howard Theater Saturdays May 6, at 3:30, by }100 children in a May Carnival. The Stage presented a summer garden with 3 floral throte and a. May pole, The charming May Queen, Miss Bertha Williams, was beautifully dressed in white and silver with a floral coronet of flowers set with brilliant stones. Her graceful dance and salutations were all that could be desired in a May Queen. 2 ‘The star of the entertainment was Master Eugene Mars Martin, violin- ist of New York—the greatest 8-year- old prodigy of the race. His technique, interpretation and stage presence at once captivated the large audience assembled and merited hearty encore. All pronounced his playiog marvel- ous for one so young. All the num- bers were so much enjoyed that spe- cial mention is difficult in this short mention, The Indians (6 and_12 years of age) in their interpretation of Rosamond Johnson's ‘Red Shaw! received much applause, as did the Japanese and Italians.” The hand- gomé doll, the Porto Rican dance by Maurice Thomas and the song and graceful dance of little Thelma Wat- son, The most pleasing numbers were the twelve little maids led by Carol Carson and the artistic dance gone by Misses Grace Williston and Stella Spinker. Unusual praise is giv- en the Moor dance by Ruth Gray, Edna Thompson, BerthaeTaylor and Maud Bryant, This dance was as ear professional excellence as could _be found on the amateur stage. The grace and precision of movement and the national interpretation brought the greatest applause of the evenin, and reflected great credit upon both the talent of the young girls, but upon the skillful guidance of ‘Miss Theressa Lee. To the thinking mind this Carnival is a step in the right direction.

Fair Play Association Wants to Get Republicans Out, Democrats in O'Gorman’s Part’ Cited—Trouble in Office of District Recorder of Deeds Brings Out Explanation. Brings Out Explanation. == When is a spoilsman not a spoils man? When he is a member ct’ “fair play” association organized to! investigate” frauds in the Civil Ser- vice, | Developments in the last few days point strongly to the existence of a political spoilsman wolf in the wooly raiment of a National Democratic Fair Play Association, organized here in Washington April’ 10 by people who came to Washington from dif- ferent parts of the country along about April 1. ‘The “association” is composed sole- ly of Democrats. Its officers claim for it a membership of about 500 vaguely located “all over the United States.” Its avowed object, an- nounced on its stationary, is the “‘in- vestigation of fraud in the Civil Ser- vice system” and “race segregation on government service.” Its watch- word is scriptural, supposedly: “Ye shall ‘know the truth.” Initiation Fee Paid, The “association” is not incorpor- ated, Its members, according to its “national” officers, pay an initiation fee of $1 and annual dues of 50 cents. Only Democrats are eligible for mem- bership. What these members expect to get for their pains is not clear, un- less the reply of Roy M. Harrop, see- retary and treasurer of the “associa- tion,” to a question put to him last night, may be taken as an indication. “Would not the members through- out the country who might desire a position here in the government ser- vice feel that they had a right to ex- pect you to represent their interests: here?” Mr. Harrop was asked, Oh, yes, that’s. the idea; if there are any positions open for them,” he réplied, hastening to add, however, “but the purpose of the association is to clean out the Civil Service and ex- pose the frauds we know exist there.” Ernest D, Martin, of Missouri, a former State Senator, is president’ of the organization. Mr. Martin was not in his room at the National Ho- tel last night, Mr. Harrop, who hails from South Dakota, was in Mr. Mare tin's room and spoke for the orgait= ization. | “Are the officers of your organiza- tion paid?” Mr. Harrop was asked. | “No,” he replied; “we serve without, pay. The money received in initiation | fees and dues goes for the expénses of the organization.” = “It must be pretty expensive for you and Mr. Martin and other officers to stay here in a hotel without pay, isn't it?” “Yes, but we want’ to see these frauds ‘in the Civil Service detected and corrected.” “How do you detect these frauds?” “Oh, we just go into the depart- ments and pick them out.” “I should think the departments would object, to that.” “They can’t. The frauds are mat- ters, of public record. We can see when the people were appointed, who appointed them, when promoted, and when demoted.’ __ "Have you any Civil Service people in your organization?” “Oh, yes, some.” “T suppose you get a good deal of information from them.” “Yes, they furnish us with virtual affidavits concerning cases | which come under their observation.” “Are you furnishing Senators Over- man of North Carolina and Pomerene of Ohio with the information upon which they are acting in demanding a civil service investigation by the Senate?” . "Yes, we gave them their informa- tion.” " : In the last few days the “associa- tion” has made. an ansultcessful at- tempt to pull Senatot O'Gorman of New York into the position of kack- ing its program. It happens that Senator O’Gorman_ is not a spoils- man, and his confidential secretary, Frank Oliver, told Mr. Martin sin |a few’plain. words. An important plank in the “plat- form” of the “association,” which has been printed and given wide circula- tion, declares in favor of the segrega- tion’ of races in the government ser- vice. Mr. Martin discovered that the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the District is presided over by a colored man, Henry Lincoln Johnson, for- merly an attorney in Georgia and the Republican leader in that State. John- son is a Taft appointee. Martin also discovered that white and colored women work side by side in the copy- ing room of the office. There are about the same number of white clerks as colored, the office being gen- erally looked upon as 2 political of- fering to the colored race, and as one where the head and the clerks shall be largely of that race. ‘Martin ran across a white woman] who declared she had a grievance.’ ‘The white woman is, twice the size of the colored woman. She declared that she had been threatened with, a Eee Cee anne nena in-tonch with-“Col™HyteB=-Price, who signs from Alabama, and who is Gartied on the stationery of the “as- Sociation” as chairtian of the execu- tive committee and who, by the way, is only an elevator conductor at the Capitol, and learning that the young. woman in question originally came from New York, had Price take hi to’ see Senator O'Gorman. They. in- terviewed Mr. Oliver instead. Mr. Oliver said he would take the matter up with Johnson, the recorder. John- son and every one in the office denied any knowledge of the trouble alleged and Johnson gave Mr. Oliver satis- factory assurances ‘that the matter would be investigated, and justice be done. ae Martin, thinking to make capital- Out of this routine interest manifest- ed by Senator “O'Gorman’s office, spread the story around that Senator ‘O'Gorman has demanded the resigna- tion of the colored woman in ques- tion, and in addition | has, indirectly, at least, indorsed the “plank” in their “platform” calling for segregation. He has been told, and in the presence of Johnson, that Senator O'Gorman is interested only in seeing that no in- justice is done to one of his constitu- ents, and that the Senator has no in- tention of being dragged into the “fair play* movement, so-called. In simple justice to’ #fr. Johnson, it should be said that he left no. doubt in the minds of those in Senator O'Gorman’s office that he would do everything possibte to run down the Sause of the quarrel, if quarrel there was, between the two women, Divorced, edames Ortway Holmes has been di- forced from his wife, Mrs. Mary E.
