IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper Thats THE BEE DOOM OF SUFFRAGE Borah, for Cause, Foreses Its Failure in Congress—State Laws the Only Course—Idaho Senator Says Colored Vote Is Tied Up With Issue—Fifteenth Amendment, He Asserts, Which Is Openly Violated in the South, Must Be Repealed Before Women Are Given Ballot by the Government—Champions Progress of Colored Man Against Attack by Vardaman. Senator Borah of Idaho, prominently mentioned as a probable candidate for the Republican nomination for President, Tuesday expressed his convictions on female suffrage, the treatment of the colored men in the South, States' rights, immigration, and the Japanese situation on the Pacific Coast, fearlessly and boldly. In a vigorous speech he defended woman's suffrage, but to the astonishment of the women occupants of the galleries, declared it was impracticable and impossible to obtain through constitutional amendment, so long as the fifteenth amendment remained unrepealed. Equal suffrage must be obtained only through the separate States, he said. Tangled Up With Other Issues. Senator Borah predicted that after fifteen years of vain endeavor the women would renew their abandoned request for the ballot before the people of the States, because in seeking an amendment to the Federal Constitution they had loaded themselves down with the color question, the Japanese question, and a dozen other States' rights problems. Responding to a question by Senator Thomas, Senator Borah said he would vote for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment, if only by so doing could equal suffrage be obtained. The fifteenth amendment, giving colored men the right to vote, the Senator declared, was a blunder, engendered in a spirit of retaliation, with the result that after the first blush of satisfaction the North had connived at the South's violation of it. The amendment infringed upon State rights, and might furnish a precedent for an amendment declaring that the right to hold real estate or attend school should not be denied because of race or color. Wants Right Not Violated. "Until some plan is devised," declared Senator Borah, "by which the colored man is allowed to exercise the right to vote given him under the fifteenth amendment I shall not consent to write into the Constitution another provision that will be violated 365 days in every year." Senator Borah diverted into a general discussion, aroused by questions, of racial conditions throughout the country. He referred to the Oriental question on the Pacific, the color question in the South, and those "countless thousands from Europe, flowing into the Atlantic ports, who have no more conception of the principles of local self-government than I have of the inside workings of the kingdom of heaven." "I have no desire," explained the Senator, "to bestow the franchise on the 10,000 Japanese on the Pacific slope, or yield up to the Federal government the control of the school questions of the Pacific coast. I would count myself derelict to those great Pacific States, and to the framework of our government if I were to here set a precedent as to who shall own property in the States." Challenge From Vardaman. The discussion of the color question brought the statement from Senator Vardaman that "time has not shown the colored man's capacity to participate in government or to rule the white man. While he has made some improvement, he is today as incompetent and unreliable as fifty years ago." "I don't believe in all the history of the world," replied Senator Borah, "that you can find a race that has improved so much as the colored man has in the same period of time." "In what respect," interjected Senator Vardaman, "He is more criminal today than in 1611." "Oh, that is true of the white man, also," retorted Mr. Borah. "We are a lawless people. The colored man may not understand the workings of our government as we do, but no one has more loyalty for the flag. This government and the flag are his religion. He may do many things of which the white man may not approve, but from him we never hear a disloyal word." "Did you ever know one in your life whose vote could not be influenced by a few dollars?" queried the Mississippi Senator. "That," retorted Senator Borah, "is an absurd argument. No colored man ever bribed him-self. There usually are about fifty white men around trying to bribe. The colored man has withstood temptation with remarkable strength." Defends Wisdom of Founders. Senator Borah defended the wisdom of the, founders of the Republic in weaving into the fabric of Federal government the Hamiltonian ideas of a strong central government, with the Jeffersonian ideas of local government, he said, rested upon preservation of these ideas. "When virtue and patriotism in the States have gone." declared Senator Borah, "there will be no salvation for the country in Washington. The indispensable element that gives it strength and endurance is the right of local self-government." "Why," he ejaculated, "70 per cent of the area of the State where I am sojourning cannot be crossed without the permission of the Federal government. From the standpoint of Washington we are a 'rotten borough.' Some of our reformers say they are going to keep us that way for the next thousand years. I only hope their prophecy will be as short-lived as some of their other prophecies in the recent past have been." Senators Lane. Thomas and Poindexter spoke in favor of the suffrage amendment. No vote was taken, and the resolution will come up again. MRS. JOHN B. HENDERSON, Widow of Senator Henderson, Donates $100, and Mrs. John Hay, Widow of Secretary Hay, Gave $100. The $15,000 campaign of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, N Street Northwest between Ninth and Tenth Streets, pastored by the great evangelist, financier, church builder, and matchless leader. Dr. Simon P W Drew, residence 1317 Coreoran Street Northwest, has raised and paid on the mortgage indebtedness of the sad church at this writing $1,000. The campaign will be continued until Sunday, May 17. This church was organized December 13, 1904, by Dr Drew. Since then it has made the greatest progress of any colored congregation in the United States and has become one of the most influential congregations in the national capital. The trustees purchased this present piece of property July 23, 1907, 73 x 130 feet, at a cost of $25,000. Dr. P. W. Drew has gained the friendship and substantial help of some of the best standing white and colored citizen diplomats in the country. From the President and Cabinet officers down this church is better known as the Congressional Church, where Senators and Representatives of Congress are heard speaking out on topics of national importance, both religious and political, for the advancement of civilization. Memorial service was held at this church in honor of Ex-Senator John B. Henderson, author of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, that liberated four million and five hundred thousand slaves. The Henderson family attended in a Body, the principal speaker being Speaker Champ Clark, of the House of Representatives, May 28, 1913. Dr. Drew is president of the Henderson National Memorial Civil Rights League of America and president of John Hay Memorial National Equal Rights League of America, that was organized April 16, 1913, for the purpose of combating discriminations and race segregation. He is also the District Chaplain at the Morgue, president of the National Friendless Burial Society of America, president of the National Colored Baptist Evangelical Convention, and vice president of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention. The trustees reported $1,000 raised and paid on the church indebtedness in these hard times, when thousands of people are out of work. Dr. Drew was assisted in this great campaign by such able members of Congress as Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota, Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington, Senator John D. Works of California, Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington, Congressman Caleb Powers of Kentucky, Congressman Frank B. Willis of Ohio, Congressman Martin B.

Editor Chase Invited to Speak. The Bee and Its Editor Fully Discussed—Rev. Waldron Only Minister Present Opposed to the Sage of the Potomac. The Baptist 'Ministers' Union met Monday afternoon in the Zion Baptist Church. Rev. W. J. Howard, pastor. The meeting was called to order by Rev. J. A. Brown, D.J. president, and Rev. J. T. Loving, D.D. secretary. Rev. Dr. J. Anderson Taylor offered prayer, after which several brief reports on the Lord's Day were made. The reports showed efficient and progressive work along all lines. At 1 o'clock Attorney and 'Editor W. Calvin Chase was introduced by the president, and for twenty-five minutes he spoke eloquently and frankly what he would like to have. His address was occasionally seated with a little salt and pepper, Hirsch and Sous 3.00, but good naturally expressed. At the conclusion of his address Rev. I. M. Waldron, of Shiloh Baptist Church, was recognized and assured his hearers that it is true that he doesn't subscribe for The Bee. but he reads it every week; that he had not read last week's, however, but he want to say that he thought that The Bee should have a competitor in the field because it would make The Bee believe itself and do better. He admitted that The Bee was doing some good, but he thought The Bee should not advocate whiskey The Bee, declared Rev. Waldron, had maliciously attacked him and Rev Sterling M Brown; that he didn't believe that it should continue its at tack upon the so-called lily whites, that God didn't make him! Thus created laughter. He meant to say had his making been left to him and not to God he would not have made himself white. That a woman in his church some years ago was afflicted with that disease, but he soon gave her to understand that he would not tolerate any such a thing in his church; so he has never been bothered with it since. He concluded his remarks with the declaration that he would support any good paper that stood for principles, etc. Rev. G. G. Lampkins followed, and said that he was talking to a United States Senator who is a reader of The Sage of the Potomac. This Senator expressed himself as being an admirer of the Sage, and thought that he was the greatest writer in the country. He thought, said Dr. Lampkins, that The Bee and its Editor have done great work and good for the people, and he was one man with many others who admired The Bee and its Editor. Dr. Carroll indorsed what Rev. Lampkins said, and emphasized his address by admonishing those who had found fault with The Bee. The Editor of The Bee is the only man in this city who has stood up manfully and fearlessly for the Negro. Rev. Jernagin offered a motion to the effect that it was the sense of the Baptist Union that The Bee should be recommended to the members of all the Baptist Churches in the city. Rev. Norman offered a substitute to the effect that a committee be appointed to confer with the Editor and then let the report be acted upon by the Union. Rev. Norman took exception to the Editor's remark that a man who neither smoked, chewed, or drank could not be trusted, and that he would like for the Editor to modify that statement. Mr. Chase said that he wanted to be understood; that a man who was not guilty of any of the foregoing offenses, had some other faults; that no man was perfect, he be a minister or any one else. Rev. Waldron has just said that the Editor was not perfect. Why should the Editor make an exception? Applause and laughter. The Editor paid a high compliment to Rev. Norman and his great work. also to Rev. Howard, Rev. Brooks. Rev. Loving. Rev. Jernigan and others. Rev. Brooks wanted to offer a substitute to the motion of Rev. Jernigan and Norman to the effect that so far as it was consistent, we the Baptist Ministers' Union recommend The Bee to our people. Mr. Chase, remarked Rev. Brooks, is not asking for an indorsement of his paper, he has been invited here to speak and he submits to you a proposition to advertise your meetings and take his paper if you desire to do so. He doesn't care what you say about him so long as you subscribe for his paper. White papers run whiskey advertisements, and The Bee in doing no more than the white papers. Rev. Howard said that he took The Bee and what the speaker wanted was your subscription, so come up and subscribe. Rev. White, Rev. J. Anderson Taylor and Rev. Loving delivered strong speeches indorsing The Bee. Rev. Brooks' substitute was lost, and the substitute of Rev. Norman was adopted. Mrs. Bessie Anderson, of the St. Lukes was present and introduced. She made a strong plea for the St. Lukes. Mrs. Julia M. Layton was also present and addressed the meeting. Rev. Sayles made an urgent appeal for the Old Folks' Home. He meant business. Invitations were distributed among the members of the Union announcing the coming marriage of Rev. Wil- The concensus of opinion was that the meeting was one of the most-interesting that has ever been held for some time. Everybody left with the best of feeling that a free and frank exchange of words were had and everybody was happy. RESIGNS AS TAX COLLECTOR C. C. Rogers Says He Is Leaving to Engage in Private Business. Charles C. Rogers, collector of taxes for the District, has sent his resignation to the Commissioners, to take effect April 1 Commissioner Newman stated last night that no appointment has been made to If the vacancy Mr Rogers said his tenure of office has been pleasant under the present commissioners, and that his only object in resigning is to engage in private business. He has served in various branches of the office more than sixteen years, and in that time has handled hundreds of thousands of dollars of the District's money. Senator Penrose Speaks. Philadelphia, Pa., March 19. Monday night was the culmination of a great gathering of the colored citizens of Philadelphia. For the most part quite representative of its best and most cultured citizenship, to listen to the Hon. Boies Petrouse, senior Senator of the Republican party of the State of Pennsylvania. The Vareik Institutional Temple, Nineteenth and Catherine Streets, where a series of race meetings have been planned by the Rev. S. L. Corrothers, D. D., the pastor is fast becoming the center in which the spirit of get-to-gather on the part of the race to resent the wrongs and abuses perpetrated upon them by cruel and unfair legislation is crystalizing. Senator Petrouse, who has always championed the Negro cause for fair play, was at his best as he stood one hour and a half speaking of the valor, loyalty and progress of the race and condemning the present policy and administration of affairs as it affects the race. Dr. Corrothers believes that the unified forces of - the race properly steered can bring about the results and demand for the race better treatment. This meeting is only one of a nation-wide movement in which more than one hundred of the most leading Negroes of this country are specially interested. READ IT. While we agree in the main with the writer's characterization of Dr. Richardson's pamphlet, in so far that it is, an admirable one and deserves widespread indorsement and patronage. we do not agree that Mr. Harvey judges aright our teachers and other government employees. They are not neutral or indifferent, but are simply unaware of the merit of the document. From the many favorable comments coming to The Bee, it is safe to say that the aforesaid, will not only buy for themselves, but will help in the general distribution of the article. NEGRO OWNERSHIP Of Homes in Northern States to Be Made Public—Director of Census Writes Tyler That He Will Issue a Special Report. Director Harris, of the Bureau of Census, has decided to issue a special report on "Negro Population" in which will be given statistics showing the ownership of homes by Negroes in the Northern States. Heretofore, under previous directors, only the ownership of homes by Negroes in the Southern States has been given in census reports. Last fall Ralph W. Tyler, former Auditor for the Navy, took up with Mr. Harris the matter of giving the same census information regarding the Negro in the North as was given regarding him in the South. Mr. Harris, at that time, advised that it could not be done. In a letter just received by Mr. Tyler from Director Harris, he says: "I have decided to have the information relating to the ownership of homes tabulated by color in the remaining sections of the country, and this special report will show the ownership of homes by Negroes in ALL States. Your interest in the work of the Census Bureau is greatly appreciated." The Director explained in his letter that when the matter was taken up with him by Mr. Tyler last fall it could not then be done for the reason that the plans of his predecessor had been carried out to such an extent prior to his connection with the bureau as to make a change at that time impossible. The decision of the Director to gather and make public the number and value of homes owned by Negroes in the North will, for the first time, make public the total land wealth of the race in the entire country. The letter of the Director to Mr. Taylor is as follows: "Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, "National Negro Business League, "Washington, D. C." Dear Sir: "You will perhaps remember that we had some correspondence last fall with reference to the ownership of homes by the Negroes in the United States. At that time I informed you that the plans of my predecessor had been carried out to such an extent prior to my connection with the Bureau that it was impossible for me to make any change in the presentation of the figures on the ownership of homes by Negroes, which included those in the Southern States only. I am enclosing a "Circular of Information Concerning Tentative Program of the "Burear of the Census," on page 6 of which is described the special report on "Negro Population," which I expect to issue as soon as I can get to it. This report will be similar to the Twelfth Census Bureau on Negroes in the United States. I have decided to have the information relating to the ownership of homes tabulated by color in the remaining sections of the country, and this special report will show the ownership of homes by Negroes in ALL States. Your interest in the work of the Census Bureau is greatly appreciated. (Very truly, (Signed) WM. J. HARRIS. "Director." DR. RICHARDSON'S BOOK. Defense of the Race Endorsed. Washington, D. C. March 18, 1914. To the Editor of The Bee: Dr. G. H. Richardson was my family physician for many years, and would still be, had he not been disabled by a long sigh of illness. I understand that he is now well again and will take up the practice. I am sure that he will be successful, as he has always been, at least in so far as my knowledge goes. But it does seem to me that if the doctor will continue to write such pamphlets as the one now published under the auspices of The Bee, he will confer an unusual service upon the race, of which it may be justly proud and grateful. "The Defense of the Colored Race" is a fine article and should be read by all truly race-loving and distributed in all the strongholds of prejudice and race opposition. It certainly is a grand defence and would serve as a revelation to those who are now saying so many unkind and unjust things about us. Especially should the pamphlet be in the possession of every government employee, school teacher and the like, who, for policy's sake must appear neutral in the terrible warfare now being waged against us, yet whose sacred duty it is to strengthen and uphold the hands and augment the sinues which make for the race upliftment. If I am not presuming too much, I, though merely a business man, with no pretensions to ability as a literary critic, venture the assertion that Doctor Richardson has conferred a great and lasting service and that the pamphlet should be in the hands of all. I truly feel that such services should be encouraged. 209 Seventh St. S. E. Stock Company. The Majestic Stock Company is composed of high-class artists.

They expected that under Hils wise ministration, us- ing their nation as His Instrumente, the Divine Lai would extend to all and, by bringing all people into har- mony"arith God, would gradually bring ail back to the Paradise state. The Garden of the Lord. Jt was ‘in full harmony with this that the dying thief asked the Lord to remember him when He should come fnto His Kingdom — the Kingdom ‘whose dounnlo would establish right- eousuess in thereurth, and thus con- vert the world, under Divine favor, into the Paradise of God. Our Lord’s answer was that verily, truly, bis re- quest should be grinted—the thief would yet be with Him In Paradise. Paradise hax not yet been éstablished; for God's Kingdom bas not yet come to earth; it delays until a certain work for the Church shall be accomplished. It is not the Divine purpose to make of the nation of Israel God's King- dom in the bighest sense of the word, though it will be actively identifed with the Teavenly Kingdom as its earthly representative. God is select- ing during this Gospel Age a new na- tion, Spiritual Isracl, from every na- tion, people, kindred, tongue. At our Lord's First Advent and subsequently, He gathered frouy Isracl such as were saintly and ready for the Kingdom; since then He bas been taking out from other nations enough to complete the foreordained number of the elect Chureh, These will constitute the Kingdom p+ sc, and It cannot be set up or established In power until thiy election, or seleetion, shall have been completed and the Elect “changed” or glorified on the eplritual plane. by the power of the Mirst Resurrection, + Paradise, or the Garden of the Lord. not only represents that earthly cond! tion which wiil be restored for the benefit and blessing of the naturtl man sab the reward for his obedience to ‘the rules of Immanuel's Kingdom dur- ing the Millennial Age—but it also applies to the glorious and Heavenly Position whieh God has In reservation for the Chun.

But God. rich In Mercy in the great Love wherv- with He loves us, has provided for mankind a recovery from sin and death, while He has made no proviston for the future life of the brute creation. God's prison for man’s recovery trom the sehtence of death is the stor of the “Cross of Christ." Because a man bad sinned. the Redeemer must be a Man. Because the penalty was human death, a Perfect Man must dic for the sinuer's release from the death sentence, to uplift the willing out of sin and death conditions—up, up, up to’ fellowship with Ged and eteraal Mfe.

Attempts to Impress State Department at Washington With the Necessity For Instant Action In Order That Americans May Share Profits—Other Nations Have Acted. Peking, China.-The Americans of North China have formed a society under the style of the American Association of North China to foster the interests of American commerce. They want a commercial attache to be assigned to duties of investigation throughout China following the practice of other nations, which keep a lively propaganda campaign afoot on behalf of their nationals and they are appealing to the American state department to appoint such an official. Foremost among those who recognize the need for activity is the new minister, Paul Reinsch. Dr. Reinsch brings to his office a keen perception of the tremendous possibilities which await intelligent effort in this field and a desire to see the American flag holding its own if not topping the bunting of other nations. Careful investigations have shown him that Americans have great opportunities for a market which is not only valuable but which it is also necessary to cultivate now in order to have it developed when the opening of the Panama canal will cause the westward drift of trade to become more and more pronounced. The association, if it develops along the lines the founders have in view, will be a prod for the government. It will vigilantly protect American inter- ```markdown ``` DR. PAUL REINSCH ests, advise the administration upon conditions and suggest action best calculated to keep American commerce moving with an upward tendency rather than stagnating or slipping backward. The first, desire, therefore, is for the appointment of a commercial attache, whose duty it will be to report constantly upon commercial conditions, journey to various centers and make compliations which will be of material benefit to those engaged or who wish to engage in operations in this part of the world. The consuls at many ports already contribute valuable aid in this direction through their commercial reports, but a consul is restricted in his sphere. The commercial attache would have more of a roving commission, and his information could be first hand. Other nations have such officials constantly on the lookout for new avenues. As a matter of fact, this proposal is not new. It was being investigated by the previous administration and the probability is that a commercial attache would have been at work in China had there been no change. That it is a desirable one is obvious. China is the largest market in the world that is in process of development. Railway communication is being pushed ahead vigorously. Within the past year the government signed agreements with foreign financiers for the construction of more mileage than has been allotted in the past thirty-eight years. Every other nation is striving energetically to lay foundations for commercial development, while America, the logical supplier, is idle. Americans in China appreciate this to the full, and the formation of the North China association is their answer to the question as to what they are doing to try to make the home land understand that there is a magnificent market awaiting exploitation, but which will not be permitted to await much longer. Other nations are wide awake and are securing the plums as fast as they can gather them. 8he Wins Haircut and Shave. Ortley, S.

Only One of the Flock of Thirty Now Survives. Rochester, N. Y.—John B. Cramer had a fine flock of chickens which he was desirous of selling. He was told by a prospective purchaser who looked at some of the eggs that the eggs were not white enough for the market to which he was shipping. A friend of Mr. Cramer advised him that small doses of peroxide of hydrogen fed in water or mash would aid his hens to produce eggs of the proper degree of whiteness. Cramer made the experiment and thought the eggs were growing whiter, but not fast enough to suit him. He then increased the dose. His hens soon stopped laying eggs of any color, and one of them died. Now all that is left of his flock of thirty is one old rooster, which Mr. Cramer would like to give away to some worthy person. BIGGEST. HYDROAEROPLANE.

PICKS POCKET WHILE KISSING. Italian Thief Employs Novel Ruse to Plunder American. Rome.—Dr. John Francis Hurie's pocket was picked in the Plaza Despargna the other day as he emerged from a bank where he had cashed a check for $150. In relating his experience to the police Dr. Hurie said that what surprised him was the way the thief accomplished his purpose. "He embraced me and tried to kiss me on both cheeks in the true Italian fashion," said the doctor. "I freed myself immediately and the man, apologized courteously and apparently was sorry for the mistake. When he disappeared I discovered the loss of my wallet." Bureau of Fisheries In Bulletin Tells of Advantages. Washington.—The bureau of fisheries has issued a bulletin to show folks how to smite the high cost of living by eating less meat and more salmon. Statistics are presented to show that one can buy more bone, muscle, blood and brain building material for less money by purchasing salmon than by purchasing most forms of meat. One pound of canned red salmon, according to the bureau of fisheries, will cost, if of the best quality, about 16 cents. The same quantity of nutriment in the form of strictly fresh eggs would cost 3 cents; steak, 33 cents; mutton, 32 cents; chicken, $11 \frac{1}{2}$ cents; smoked ham, $13 \frac{1}{4}$ cents; pink salmon, $12 \frac{1}{2}$ cents. The best grades of canned salmon, the bureau of fisheries finds, are richer than meats in body building materials and contain about the same amount of fats. Pink salmon, which is a cheaper grade, is better than meats for making flesh and bone, but has less fat. "Either is as digestible as the best sirloin steak, there is no waste, and nothing has to be thrown away except the can," says the bureau. "To reduce the cost of living eat more salmon, especially of the cheaper grades, and less meat," Meats spoil quickly in the home. Canned salmon will keep indefinitely if unopened." : ASKS DIVORCE AND RECALL. Sheriff's Wife Seeks Liberty and Loss of Husband's Job.

TO TOUR STATES IN LABOR STUDY HOPES TO SOLVE PROBLEMS Looking For New Ideas Along Constructive Lines—Labor Men of Chief Cities to Furnish Data—Some of the Subjects That Are to Be Inquired Into and Cities to Be Visited. Washington.—Public hearings in important industrial centers from New York to San Francisco will be held during the spring and early summer by the United States commission on industrial relations. This announcement was made by Frank P. Walsh, chair man of the commission. The hearings, according to Mr. Walsh, will embrace in their scope all the main divisions of the inquiry directed by congress. Among the cities that probably will be visited are New York, Philadelphia. ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. FRANK P. WALSH. Boston, Paterson, Scranton, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Wheeling, Charlotte, Greenville, Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, Louisville, New Orleans, Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Chicago, Houghton, Milwaukee, Madison, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Paul, Denver, Triuldad, Dallas, Houston or Galveston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Butte and Lead. Through examination of witnesses competent to speak for employers, trade unions, other labor organizations, unorganized employees and the general public, the commission hopes to obtain information concerning the industrial situation that will lead to constructive recommendations. Some of the subjects to be inquired into in each city are irregularity of employment, possibilities of ending irregularity and increasing production through scientific management, the activities of trades unions and employers' associations and the extent and operation of governmental machinery for regulating the conditions of industry, including the relations between employers and employees. Successful methods of maintaining harmonious relations beneficial to both employers and employees will be inquired into particularly, with a view to their adoption in other centers where no such methods have been tried. Eminent authorities in subjects to be included within the scope of the inquiry have joined the staff of the commission and are now alding in planning the hearings. Witnesses desired by the commission will be summoned under the authority granted it by congress and volunteer testimony will be welcomed. Announcing the plan for hearings, Chairman Walsh said: "The commission will carefully avoid acting as a board of mediation and conciliation and will not allow itself to be drawn into local controversies or recognize such controversies unless in doing so it can obtain information that has more than local and temporary significance. "Every interest will be given a hearing. The commission will strive to put aside all bias and prejudice. It will urge others to do the same in the hope that the industrial problem may be studied in the light of reason. The open mind will be our watchword, and we shall endeavor to provide a forum where men representing all factions can meet in the common purpose of finding a way out from bitterness and strife. To accomplish this we shall need the co-operation and help of all concerned. We shall ask those who meet with us at the hearings to come not as employers or employees, but as men belonging to the same human family. "The hearings are to be undertaken as one means of carrying out the instructions of congress to inquire into the industrial situation and to report our conclusions and recommendations." "The commission wishes in particular to invite the help of every person who has a constructive suggestion. Such suggestions will be especially welcome when they are supplemented by testimony as to the successful carrying out of the ideas they embody." Sent by Parcel Post From Washington State to Paris. Tacoma, Wash.—From Chewelah, in Stevens county, this state, $0,000 rabbit skins have just been sent by parcel post to Paris for manufacture into fur hats. The shipments were made by men who rounded up many rabbits and paid ranchers for thousands more. Ranchers hope that a market will be found for millions of jack rabbits, now regarded as pests throughout eastern Washington and Oregon. Each package of pelts for Paris required a blank customs invoice on a linen tag specially provided by the postoffice. Surrounding counties and adjacent states are deluging Chewelah with letters of inquiry regarding the rabbit market.

Donovan, the "Mayor of Chinatown," in opposing the bill authorizing cities and towns to provide for the care and disposal of homeless dogs and cats. "Out in the Back Bay," he said, "there are more cats and dogs than there are children and I am not surprised if the Back Bay has become alarmed over its unfortunates. I say let the Back Bay take care of its cats and dogs. I hope the bill will be killed." BLOOD FROZEN 40,000 YEARS. Taxidermists Discover Liquid In Animal Found in Ice Block. Paris. The taxidermists at the Natural History museum are now preparing the body of a mammoth which lived 40,000 years ago and was recently found frozen in a Siberian ice block. The animal was so large that it had to be quartered before being brought to the Paris museum. The experts discovered in a vein a few drops of brownish substance which proved on analysis to be blood which had remained liquid through 400 centuries. The carcass was in excellent condition, the hide being intact and the flesh showing no signs of decomposition. WOMAN TAKES JOB AS TOWN MARSHAL Offer, Made In Spirit of Levity, Accepted by Writer. Chesquing, Milch.-Blanche D. Ingalls, editor and part owner of the Chesaning Monitor, a weekly newspaper, has been appointed marshal to fill the vacancy caused by the dismissal of the man officer some weeks ago. She has formally accepted the appointment and says she will begin the work of improving the morals of the town at once. The old marshal was dismissed because the village officials had no money to pay for his services, and he was no sooner off the job than things that upset the peace and dignity of this staid little town began to happen. Miss Ingalls also began to write and in her paper said uncomplimentary things about the way things were being run. The whole place was "going to the bad because there was no one to maintain order," she often hinted. But the officials remained firm until now and kept the marshal job open until a special meeting of the council was called and the president named a man for the place. The other members declined to confirm the appointment and Miss Ingalls' pame was suggested. The vote for her was unanimous, partly, she says, "because they thought I wanted to run the town." At the outset Marshal Ingalls faces a knotty problem, as there is no fall "fit to house a human." "And," she says, "I am never going to lock anybody up in that place they call a jail. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm going to do something. Things will begin to pop here pretty quick and I am going to be right in the center of the popper." LONDON HAS ESCALATORS. Thirty Thousand Ride on "New Toy" the First Day. London.—London has been given another new toy to play with. Escalators at Charling Cross Embankment station connecting the district and the Waterloo railways were opened, and it is estimated In the first three hours 10,000 persons had made trips on them. When the escalators ceased revolving in the early hours the total cargo for the day probably reached 30,000 passengers. Washington.—A $15,000,000 aeroplane fleet was proposed in a bill by Representative L'Engle of Florida.

It is said that this government is for all the people irrespective of color or condition. Every citizen of this government is taxed to support it. There is no discrimination when it comes to taxation except in certain cases. The colored citizen is taxed and forced to conform with the laws that govern and regulate the republic, but, when it comes to vote, no matter how intelligent or educated he may be, certain sections of this republic restricts him, because he is a colored citizen. There are certain sections in the North that are quietly adopting a policy of discrimination and segregation against the colored citizen, and notwithstanding he is gradually advancing onward and upward. When a government exacts laws of segregation and discrimination, it is about time for such a government to go out of existence. Those who attempted to destroy this republic are now in the saddle in all branches, and there is no telling when it will end. It is claimed by those who now control this government that it is necessary to control the power and resources of the colored citizens because they are advancing too rapidly, and yet the enemy claims that he is unfit for citizenship. If the colored citizen is progressing too rapidly, why curtail his progress? Why not let him alone and see how high he will climb and in what direction? If a war should be declared against a foreign enemy would the disfranchised colored American be qualified to enlist to fight for his country? If the argument of those who want the progress of the colored American impeded holds good, then he has no right to fight for a country that continues to curtail his rights and progress. Why should he fight to hold himself in political and physical slavery? The South has disarmed the colored soldier. He is no longer permitted to carry arms. Why should he want to fight? In certain States laws are being enacted to force the colored man to live in sections to himself. Would it be/right and proper for him to protect the enemy within against the enemy without? If this is to be a white man's war, let the white man fight it out. ANOTHER PHASE. Another phase of the half and half principle relating to the conduct of the city government, has just been communicated to us. Conversation with an administration Democrat whose voting precinct is in Virginia, when asked why the present Congress seems so persistent in their opposition to the contract of thirty years' standing whereby it was facetly agreed that the Federal Government would pay one half of the expenses, replied, after some quibbling, that the Democrats in general, and especially those from the South, are looking with disfavor, if not alarm on the great progress the colored people are making in this city. They say that if the Federal Government forced the District to pay its own expenses, it would not escape bankruptcy and that in such case said District would withdraw its present liberal patronage of the material and educational welfare of the colored people. The same frank informant declared that the scheme has been in process of incubation for some time, but no Democrat could be found to launch it effectually until now. Of course this is all news to some people, but it is no surprise to The Bee. Many a time has a lop-sided Republican imated that too much is being one for the colored people, but he has soon squelched by the better thinking Republicans. It may be that the question is an intensely interesting and alarming economic, but to modify the trite expression "There is an individual, tincured with the livery of the burning un hidden in the lignious accumulation." The historic enemies of the race may not be successful in their specious scheme, but should they be successful the thought, while not consoling, may yet teach the important lesson that it is too late in the day to hope to do much harm to the colored race without severe loss and humiliation to the perpetrators or sympathizers. SENATOR BORAH : The Bee, on behalf of the colored Americans, extends its thanks to Senator Borah for his able defense, in the Senate of the United States in behalf of an oppressed race of people. All that the colored American asks is an opportunity to earn a living and be protected in his civil and political rights. The attempt of Senator James K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, to show that the colored man is morally unfit for citizenship fails to point out the difficulty and dishonesty of many white men who are more notorious than the vilest Negro. At no time, no matter how vicious a Negro may be, he has never, at any time, betrayed his flag or his country. Indeed, it must be admitted that the colored man has been faithful and true to those who held him in bondage, and at no time has ever betrayed his master or mistress. He has defended them to his own detriment, and while his freedom was extended to him by those who endeavored to liberate him. Today the colored man is looked upon and characterized as an desirabile citizen, for no other reason than he is competing with those who once enslaved him. Senator Borah is right when he said that there are white men equally as bad if not worse than the black man. We have colored men, today superior to Vardaman. We have colored men at the head of colleges far superior, intellectually than Vardaman. We have lawyers who far surpass him and we have Negroes equally as bad or objectionable as he is. Compare the records of the black men in public life to that of Vardaman, and decide who are more desirable citizens. What good are amendments to the Constitution if they are not enforced? The Democratic South would dis-regard any amendment that would tend to vote it out of power. POWER OF PRAYER. When James K. Vardaman, of Mississippi addressed the Senate Friday, February 6th, ultimo, he had no doubt informed a few colored men who listened to his tirade against the Negro. This race is about the only nationality, in this country that tolerates Vardaman's abuse. The Italians would not stand for it two seconds, and neither would the Irish. The only weapon that the Negro uses is prayer, and The Bee has not seen it fail. The Negro knows how to pray an effective prayer, and The Bee ventures the prediction the continued prayer of the Negro for Vardaman is bound to prevail, and he will be convinced before long that this praying will realize, the flags in the State of Mississippi to be at half-mast. The Negro doesn't believe in the shot guns. This weapon would expose him to too much danger and expense. It doesn't cost anything, but a little time to pray, and the Negroes have all the time they want. They have never been too busy or too tired to pray. They rather like it. Why, when they visit the slums and enter the churches their first thought is, when will you, O. Lord, cause the flags of Mississippi to be at half-mast. JOHN SKELTON WILLIAMS. The resignation of Secretary McAdoo,or his transfer abroad will no doubt make John Skelton Williams, secretary of the Treasury, () Lord, deliver us from the sins and wickedness of this apostle of of segregation. There is no man in this country who is so objectionable to the Negro as John Skelton Williams. A Roman general once said, whether it was better to be feared, hated, or loved. Williams is neither feared nor loved; all mean men generally have but a short time to impose upon the helpless and the weak. The new Dixie Hospital, connected with Hampton Institute, was recently finished at the cost of over $70,000. work hard to pass, the Indiana pencil pusher kinder fell down on his rithmatism, landing somewhere below the half century mark, and course Tyler then had to give the job to another friend. "Judge Terrell recommended Frank Christopher, who just eat up the examination Jim Colbainn't never been known to reward a salve amointer with a cheap cigar, and Big Bill Lewis, when he hibernated around in the Assistant Attorney General's position, just gave the Mexican salve dispenser the Harvard look of disgust every time a pencil pusher would send him a marked copy of a paper containing a Richard Dana Gibson picture of him. Tom Jones has been the really bang-up appreciator of a Mexican salve spreader, and R. Windy will tell you himself. Tom Jones just figures, like the late John M. Langston use to figure—any time his name appears in a newspaper it signifies that he has been picked out of eighty million of people to give mention to. Tom just likes to pass a pencil pusher a five spot, now and then, or send him around a box of "three for five" cigars, or a bottle of Kentucky bourbon what's got all the edge on it. Tom is a wide-awake chap whose liberality makes him ride nearly every day in a victoria with a white man a driving of him. As I look back to the time when Menard, Bruce Grit, Will Pollar J. R. Windy, Ed Thornton, Ed Cooper, and one or two others of us use to find the National Capitol rich pickins, and then compare those days with these here days. I just naturally have to exclaim, "holy smoke, how times do change!" Why in those days we uster double our salaries some weeks, workin' the aspiring and perspiring to come across the mazunna for a few yards of rich Mexican salve we spread on them. But ever since Teddy got in, and brought along that "we are practical men" what he handed out to Harriman, there just ain't nothin' doin', and even R Windy finds it's so hard to get recognition from some of these aspirin' anthracite politicians' strong box, he finds it in't no more expensive to send out knocks than it is to send out boosts. Course one thing what hard hit us free and easy writers of Mexican salve stuff is that the editors just got wise, and catchin' on to the fact that the grist what came to the mill never reached the editorial sanctum, kinder got to passin' our dope into the waste basket instead of to the printer to be set up in eight point type; and we just could not guaran tee the delivery of our dope. R Windy and myself are the last of the old guard, and R. Windy is the only one left who works off the Mexican in out of town papers. You just got to hand it to him for hitting the cinder path of continuation in spite of the fact of unappreciative mauve complexioned office holders, and "huein-to-the-line" editors who blue pencil "bloom town puffs" what ain't accompanied by the price. My how times is changed! \*\*\* Just as I get back on the job, I find this old town is all torn up again with a school fight. Don't sell me, cause I know it, these Latin countries or hades on revolutions. Now here's the teachers done organized an insipid revolution, hired Jim Cobb to interpret the Organic Act for 'em, and fixin' to enter the aviation contest and fly over the heads of some one. I just naturally hope everything will cool down, and as old Hanable once said: "Get a laxative bromide settler color." so peace and harmony will begin to reign like a greenbay tree. This sure ain't no time for buying, selling and exchanging hammers, an no anvil chorus is got any right to be made a headliner in the race theatre, when Vardaman, Hoke Smith and all that lot of smothered onions are givin' us, as Oliver Wendel Holmes once said on a peculiar occasion. "hell before breakfast." My advice is, to all your anuthracites—just sheath your daggers, put cushions on your hammers, and dispose of your anvils, to the black-mith whats got use for them, and instead, go buy a few ounces of sweet smelling salts, a few boxes of Mexican salve, and a whole lot of good humor and helpful efforts, cause all them there "white hopes" down in Congress are in training to knock us out as a race. Just take this from the Sage who's recovered from his indisposition occasioned by being exposed to a champagne supper at which he disposed of enough to attract a near case of "pumonia." "RATHER BE RIGHT THAN PRESIDENT. I come now to speak upon a matter with regard to which I am charged in a peculiar degree, by the Constitution itself, with personal responsibility. The large thing to do is the only thing we can afford to do, as voluntary withdrawal from a position everywhere questioned and misunderstood. We ought to reverse our action without raising the question whether we were right or wrong. And so our President speaks out at last. No wonder the various committees and organizations who called on the President to protest against race segregation in the departments and other wrongs met with such a chilly reception at his hands. It seems that the "New Freedom" does not concern itself as to whether a thing is right or wrong; but whether or not it is expedient. Such thing being the case, let us hope that the President, the Cabinet and Congress will find it expedient to remove those audacious disfragmenting, discriminating and unjust race segregation laws of the South, and thus uphold the Constitution in spirit and in truth. JUST A WARNING Look! and Listen, ye descendants of the Ethiopian race. There's some mighty serious problems that you've got to face. This is not the time to idle, this is not the time to shrink. These times call for brainy black folks to put in their heavy work. Look! and Listen! at the White House, he who sits in Lincoln's seat Does not dare to speak out plainly freedom's issues dares not meet. When the cause of truth and justice is brought forward to the van For the Negro then our President hides behind old Vardaman. Look! and Listen! this same leader of the "new freedom" (so-called) Speaks out plainly on the tariff, "Let the trusts be overhauled." Speaks out bravely for the currency and the tails at Panama. Readjusts and alters treaties with the "nations from afar." Look! and Listen! hear this leader—"I am charged in great degree By the grand old Constitution with responsibility." "We ought to reverse, our action whether we are right or wrong." "Rather to be right than President." is not Woodrow's favorite song. Look! and Listen! ye fool black folks, O, ye so-called Democrats. When ye try to preach that doctrine, ye are talking thru your hats. What do ye expect ye bone heads? go sit down and shut your mouths. For the President, Congress, and Cabinet are all led by the prejudiced South. While those Negrophobes who hate us are becoming loud and bold. That the God of Truth awaits you, waits with vengeance in each hand, —JAMES CÓNWAY JACKSON. THE MAJESTIC STOCK CO. The Bee briefly stated last week that Manager Frank Brown had organized a stock company of first-class players. Miss Brown, a very beautiful and stylish actor takes the leading role; Mr. DeMont, a clever comedian also assumes a leading role. Mr. Brown, the author of Kiko, the Wild Man, assumes the role as Charity. It is one of the most ludicrous fares that has ever been introduced to theater soars. Miss Brown's acting, singing and character sketches are refined and pleasing. She is not only a good actress, but she is a great acquisition to the company. Mr. DeMont, who takes the role of Kiko the Wild Man, was faultless in his acting. Mr. Brown surprised all of his friends in the role of Charity. The singing by the choruses was catchy and sweet. Full of harmony and sweetness. This is a new venture for this theatre, and the opening night for the company was an agreeable surprise to those who witnessed the farce. Within two weeks the most sensational drama that has even been put upon the stage will be shown at the Majestic. It is the "Kingdom, or Washington Colored Society. It will be a typical illustration of Washington's colored society or the Kingdom. This is to be followed by Richard the Third. Armstrong. The largest crowd yet to witness an athletic contest in the Armurstrong gymnasium assembled Friday afternoon and saw the girls of home team win out over the Baltimore High School aggregation by the score of 6 to 4.

Over 400 students present, and friends crowded in the "gym" to cheer their favorites. The Manual Trainers were electrified early in the first half when the two Clark girls caged, each a sphere. The half ended with the score 5 to 1. The Baltimore Misses could only score by theoul route, which netted four points that way.

McDonald Milliard, had fled the jurisdiction; that when he went to his office, 1324 You Street. Thursday evening, March 19, his client's sign had been removed and his office closed and he was informed that he had fled, and all that he could do was to submit to the degree of the Court. Whereupon, W. Calvin Chase, who represent Mrs. Milliard, presented an order to the court which decreed that the defendant Milliard pay to his wife, Mrs. Hetta Thompson Milliard, twenty dollars per month alimony, twenty-five dollars counsel fee and the entire cost of the court proceedings. Dr. J. McDonald Milliard was married to Miss Hetta Thompson in the city of Philadelphia. October 8, 1910. Before their marriage Mrs. Milliard stated in her bill for alimony that he was in the medical and dental department of Howard University and Mrs. Milliard, formerly Miss Thompson, was in the pharmaceutical department of Howard University, from which he graduated. While Mrs. Milliard was on a visit in New York, Dr. McDonald Milliard wrote to her and requested her to meet him in Philadelphia before coming to this city and marry him. Believing as she did in his professions of love, she consented, and on October 8, 1910, they both were married. He advised her to remain in Philadelphia at the residence of Dr. and Sobber, two highly respected citizens, until he returned and sent her money to come to this city. While waiting for his return or a message from him, he, she alleges, was posing in this city as a single maft. She decided to come to this city, and, to her surprise, she found out that he had handsomely furnished office rooms at 1324 You Street Northwest. After many appeals to him to fulfill his marriage obligations and his refusal, she had him arrested and brought to the Juvenile Court, where Judge Latimer taxed him five dollars per week. His counsel, Mr. L. M. King, claimed that he had a defense: that he wanted the case postponed to enable his client to obtain certain important papers from Dunrovia. The case was postponed to February 9, 1914, at which time his counsel prevented an alleged decree for divorce from King George's County, Virginia. The Juvenile Court, not having jurisdiction to test the legality of this alleged fraudulent decree, counsel for plaintiff, Mr. Chase, filed a petition for a divorce, alimony, counsel fees and cost of court. Said petition was filed March 5 and Dr. Milliard was cited on a rule to show cause. Friday, March 13, was the time for the court case to come up. Attorney King stated in open court that his client, had fled the jurisdiction and there was nothing more for him to do than to submit to the order of the court decreeing five dollars per week alimony to his wife, Mrs. Milliard, twenty-five dollars counsel fees and the defendant to pay the entire cost of court. The alleged fraudulent decree was secured through the manipulation of a professional bondsman, an attorney, a doctor chum of Dr. Milliard. Milliard has visited King George's County, Virginia, about three or four the case was pending in the Juvenile Court this fraudulent decree was being manipulated, because the case was postponed in the Juvenile Court on the plea that certain papers in Dunrovia were needed at the trial, and to the surprise of the court and prosecuting counsel, prevented an alleged Virginia decree which was issued while you wait. Dr. Peter McDonald Milliard matriculated in the Pharmaceutical College October 1, 1904, continued three years; entered the Medical College October 6, 1907, and was in attendance four years. He's on the medical staff of the Freedmen's Hospital and had elaborately furnished offices at 1324 You Street, from which he took flight, according to his counsel to the Court, Thursday, March 12, 1914. There are to be some sensational developments, no doubt, when the matter 'is in the hands of the proper authorities. Attorney King declares that he knew nothing of the alleged fraudulent degree and so far as he is concerned he intended to withdraw from the case. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS.

HALLS HILL VA. There has been great interest manifested here among us in matters of improvements of the church, and the result is that a basement has been dug out under the M. E. Church and a new furnace placed therein. The work being all a voluntary service, and in a short while it is hoped to have completed the work of connecting the walls and floor and be able to be used for Sunday School, etc. Each day the women have served the workers with good palatable dinners, and thus every one finds something to do. We regret here to report the death of Mr. Louis Randolph, who was confined to his room for some time during which time his sufferings were intense. These he bore with hardly a murmur. He was a widower of about a year, having married the younger daughter. Miss Ettie Carpenter, to whom were born two children. It was the great pleasure of the family to live together in the home of her mother, she being left with the care of the children, and also cared for her son-in-law and performed a mother's part by him, being faithfully supported by her most amiable daughter, Miss Georgie Carpenter, and son Mr. Linwood. Nothing available was omitted. The funeral services were held at Mt. Salvation Baptist Church Monday, he being a member of that church. Rev. C. S. Coleman, pastor, preached, and was assisted by Rev.

Sunday School was celebrated on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock with elaborate services. Most of the Sunday schools of the city sent a representative to take part in the exercises. These representatives included a quartette from Alfred St. Baptist Church, composed of Messrs. Wilbur and Henry Burke, Courtland Willis and Walter Butler; Miss Julia Jackson. of Ebenezer; Fairfax Jackson, cornetist, Third Baptist; H. A. Norton, Russell Hackley and S. Williams, of Shiloh Baptist Sunday School. The real musical feature of the program was a duet by Mr. P. H. Lumpkins, choir master, Roberts Chapel, and his little daughter, Helen. Mr. F. II. M. Murray, in a most eloquent and pleasing manner delivered the principal address. Mr. Murray's discourse was interspersed with personal experiences in connection with his thirty years' labors with the school in the capacity of superintendent of the primary. His remarks were exceptionally interesting, being both historical and highly instructive. Much interest was manifested by the scholars of the present school and many of the members of the school of years ago. Quite a number of scholars of former years came from near-by places. Among them were Mrs. Ralph A. Webster, one of the ex-teachers and an ex-organist, and Mrs. Franklin Childs, both of Washington, D. C., the latter a daughter of the late Norman B. Pinn, the most progressive and highly educated man that has ever filled the office of superintendent of Roberts Chapel Sunday school. The affair in its entirety was a phenomenal success, and much credit is due Mrs. Maggie Darnell Evans for the manner in which she arranged and conducted the services. Mr. Chas. Robinson, the superintendent and Rev. Jos. Wheler, the pastor, expressed themselves as being much pleased with results. Mrs. Fannie Simms is home from the Columbia Hospital, Washington, D.C., where she underwent a serious operation. She is not permitted to go out as yet, however. Mrs. W. H. Davis and her daughter, Mrs. Florence Madella, who have been ill, are out again. WILLIAMS' FAMOUS SINGERS. Majestic Theater Crowded With a Most Distinguished Audience—All Washington Turns Out to Greet the World's Famous Singers. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at the Majestic Theater was Washington's best society nights. The gowns worn by the ladies on both of these nights to greet Williams' World Famous Colored Singers were gorgeous and fashionable. Among the few who occupied boxes were many of the leaders of society. The singing was sweet and the audience was carried away in cestacy. There is no other combination that travels today that possesses such talent. This company has been all over the world and sang before the crown heads of Europe. It is its first visit in this city and the reception which was given it was a royal one. The people who greeted this company consisted of the leading people in this city. It is said that every singer, from the manager down, owns valuable property in all sections of the country, which is an evidence of the company's high standard. Mr. G. L. Johnson is the first tenor. His singing is marvelous. Mr. C. P. Williams, second tenor, cannot be surpassed by anyone. Mr. J. H. Johnson, harbone, is the musical director and part owner of the company's property. Mr. J. S. Crabbe, basso, is a favorite wherever he goes. Madame Virginia Green, prima donna, is a very sweet singer. Madame Anna Hackley, soprano, has a very sweet voice and highly cultivated. Madame Clara K. Williams, contralto, is a high class ballad singer. Madame Hattie F. Johnson is no doubt one of the finest pianists to be found anywhere. Mr. Charles P. Williams is the manager and a young man of great genius. He has won his way to the front by push and pluck. The entire company is composed of high-class artists. Mrs. Williams is a most finished musical artist. She is the personification of perfection. Her articulation, harmony and everything that tends to make a musical artist Mrs. Williams possesses it. Mr. Williams is the funny artist and no doubt the most entertaining. He never fails to elicit applause. Madame Green has no equals. She is beyond all doubt. Her voice is like a mocking bird's. She is grace- The funniest musical comedy up on the Stage. By the Majestic Stock Company. ful and refined. Madame Hackly is at home in high-class opera. She rendered some of the most difficult and the highest class operatic selections that is written. Madame Johnson, the pianist, is an accomplished artist. Her accompaniments are executed with ease and grace. Mr. Grabbe is the greatest basso singer upon the American stage. It is the greatest and the most accomplished musical company in the world. The equals of this company do not exist. The Program Consists of: The Program Consists of: Jubilee songs, plantation songs, Negro melodies, camp meeting songs, Negro lullabys, Negro comic songs, cabin and river songs, sentimental songs, ballads, ragtime songs, classic selections, sacred songs. Great Company. It will give you anything you want in the way of song, from ragtime to the greatest operatic selections that has ever been written and sung by the greatest white artist in the world. Angmented by a cast of forty players, each in their particular line a star, Salem Tutt Whitney, a comedian who has made his worth felt in every theater in which he has appeared, will be the bright conspicuous attraction at Howard Theater commencing Monday, March 23. Mr. Whitney will offer his latest and what is considered his best vehicle, "The Wrong Mr. President." The popular colored dispenser of mirth will be supported as formerly by "The Smart Set" Company, an incomparable aggregation of Negro entertainers who have already earned an enviable reputation throughout the country. The piece affords opportunities for endless fun. It is a concoction of bilarity, song, melody and vaudeville specialties in which numerous features, surprises and novelties are introduced in rapid succession. A scenic investiture that can bear comparison with any similar offering has been provided. The plot, what little there is, is plausible and the situations and action irresistible and spirited. It is just the kind of show one would expect from a troupe of this kind in which the artists are always on the qui vive to entertain the public in a manner both imitable and up-to-date. The music is the work of T. L. Corwell and the book and lyrics were written by Mr. Whitney himself. In the company are Homer Tutt and Blanche Thompson, a prima donna with a remarkable voice. NEGRO MAIDS SUPPLANTED. No More to Be Employed at Diplomatic White House Receptions. There are to be no more colored maids employed at the White House diplomatic receptions. Their places are now being accepted by white maids. Just why this recent rule has been issued. The Bee is unable to state. Major Arthur Brooks, who had full sway under the Taft and former administrations to employ as many colored maids as was needed to do the work at the diplomatic and state receptions will not have the authority to hire any more colored maids. The white maids are selected by a white person, hence no Negroes need apply. John F. Cook, Lodge No. 10 E.A.A.M On March 24, John F. Cook Lodge No. 10. F. A. A. M., the F. C.

TURNING POINT IN HIS LIFE Ten Years Ago High School Girl Smiled Confident Trust Into Eyes of Desperate Man Just Released From Prison—Now He Explains That Her Belief Turned Tide of His Life. Oklahoma City, Okla.—Once an outlaw, train robber and convict, Al Jennings is now one of the leading candidates for governor of this state. But that is another story. This is how he was made to lift his head and see something bright in the future. A girl of sixteen was traveling across the state with her grandparents. She was a high school student of Edwardsville, Ind., and carried about a pretty safe map of human nature in her own little head. -Her grandfather met Al Jennings in the smoking car. Alice Warder, the high school girl, thought that Jennings looked really nice in spite of the fact that his face was seamed and marred with a thousand wrinkles. His smile, however, was like the smile of all humanity. And there was ineradicable dignity in his five feet five inches. He said his name was Mr. Jennings and he had been talking to Alice's grandfather of train robbers. Mr. Jennings knew everything in the world there was to know about train robbers. He described them in glaring detail in the light of his intimate knowledge. Alice Warder had never in her life spent a more thrilling two hours. It was dark and Mr. Jennings was still talking. Alice's grandfather drew A. his wife to another seat, leaving Alice to drink in more adventures. "Miss Warder, I have deceived you a little bit. I guess. I talked as if I had only heard of these holdups from other people or maybe read about them. The fact is I planned every one. I am a train robber myself. Got sent up for it. I am just out of the Leavenworth prison. "I thought I'd tell you about it so you wouldn't think I had imposed on you. I'm through lying. Never did lie except when I had to. There is mighty little difference between acting a lie to a girl like you and telling one. I am going to tell your grandfather about it in a minute." Suddenly Alice, with her knowledge of human nature—this girl believer in the innate goodness of bad men—had an impulse that the man who wilted it has never forgotten. He says now it had a great deal to do with changing the drift of his life, the black with defeat. Alice Warder, he eyes shining, stretched out her hands and cried: "I don't care about your past—I don't care a bit—so long as your future's all right." Five minutes more and the two paired. The ex-victor went on riding in the smoking car toward a future of which until that night he thought usually with cynical contempt. •The man and the girl with hopeful eyes did not meet again for ten years. Now she is Mrs. L. O. McLean of Pittsburgh. Recently the maid ushered a caller into Mrs. McLean's library. And without other warning a well dressed little man, his face very lined and his hair very red, stood before her. "Al Jennings!" "Alice Warder!" It was the first time they had met in ten years. Both had many stories to tell during the four hours' conversation. "Goodby, Alice." The farewell came after dinner "Have got to get back to Oklahoma. And, say, I'm going to run for governor out there in the spring. Among other things they want the Oklahoma prisons reformed, and they want a man who is familiar with the problems from the inside." And Mrs. McLean gripped the little man's hand. There were tears of gladness in her eyes. "You'll win, take it from me," she said. "Don't I know what you can do?" After Wrecking Kitchen It Sets House on Fire. South Norwalk, Conn.-The wheel of a large automobile, said to have been going a mile a minute, went through the pantry window of Mrs. Isabelle Seymour's home here, sending dishes in all directions. Then it entered the kitchen, knocked the stove to pieces and set the house on fire. Next it hit the other side of the house, which stopped it. The wheel, which welged more than 100 pounds, was broken from the automobile of William Ricker of New York as it was coming down steep Armory hill. The wheel gained momentum for a hundred feet or so, then knocked over a fence at the side of the road and went down a precipitous incline/ to Mrs. Seymour's home. "UNDESIRABLE" SHIPPED. Locked Up In Tool Box of an Outgoing Locomotive. Springfield, Mo. — How ten fathers horsewhipped a man who had been accused of improper conduct at his boarding house and then shipped him out of town by locking him in the tool box of a locomotive, was told to the police chief here by a committee of citizens who had been summoned to police headquarters. The affair occurred the night previous, and its victim, according to the report to the police, was Jerry Malone. an employee at the St. Louis and San Francisco (Frisco) railroad shops. No trace of Malone could be found the next day, and Frisco officials were asked to open the tool box on every locomotive between here and Newburg. Mo., as it is believed he was sent to that town. SNOW ENTOMBS FOUR IN TENT Hunting Party In West Forced to Dig Fifty Foot Tunnel. Reno, Nev.-Marooned by a twelve foot fall of snow, R. D. Hawley, an eastern banker, and three companions on a hunting trip were forced to spend a week in a tent on one of the peaks of the Peavine mountain range. The snowstorm was so severe that the men were obliged to remain in their tent until their provisions ran out. They then dug a tunnel fifty feet long and succeeded in killing some game. One of the party fell and sprained his knee. Mountain lions prowled about the tent and once even penetrated into the tunnel, but were driven away. APPEAL BY TILLMAN ABOLISHES SMOKING Washington.—There will be no more smoking behind closed doors when the senate is in secret session nor in the secret party caucus robin. The fragrant Havard will be put away voluntarily by the senators, at least so long as Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina is one of their members. This was decided by a unanimous vote. "Pitchfork Ben," who is sixty-seven years old and was given up by his friends for dead four years ago after a stroke of paralysis, now finds that tobacco smoke nauseates him, and he cannot take part in the secret proceedings because of the tobacco fumes. He introduced a resolution to abolish smoking in secret session. It was abolished in open session many years ago. But for the personal appeal of the aged and infirm senator in a whimsical speech it is not likely that the resolution would have been adopted. All of his colleagues are very fond of him. He read a letter from Senator Root of New York indorsing his request. The South Carolina senator appeared in the new role of health lecturer. Not only did he discuss the tobacco habit, but he said most people were digging their graves with their teeth. Overeating and other forms of high living, he said, were killing his colleagues. NEW FUEL FOR FURNACES. Pulverized Coal May Revolutionize Steel Making. Sharon, Pa.—Officers of a steel company are elated over the successful result of experiments conducted with pulverized coal in an open hearth furnace. The first heat with the new fuel was drawn off recently. Not only was the quality of the metal higher, but more heat was made in much less time than is obtained by the old method. The new furnace is the only one equipped for pulverized coal, but officials declare several will be erected immediately. Steel men state that the use of the new fuel will revolutionize open hearth steel making. Girl Besta Hole Digger. Morgantown, W. Va. — Miss Emma Boughner, a young girl, compelled gang of workmen employed by the West Virginia Traction and Electric company to lose a half day's wi when she jumped into a hole they dug in order, to erect a pole in front her father's home. After waiting several hours for the girl to leave a hole the man decided to place to pole at another place. ```markdown ``` Offers superior advantages for the training of young men and women in many departments of work.

PETER GROGAN & SONS CO 817-823 Seventh St. N. W. Q BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE-STUDY ON PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM. Luke 13:18-30—March 22 "Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven."—Matthew 7:21. TWO illustrations of the Kingdom occur in this lesson. In one case the Lord likens the Kingdom to a realm. mard seed, which from a small begin- ning became a large bush, in whose branches the birds lodged. This evi- dently was intended to picture the out- ward appearance of the Church—so prosperous as to invite the birds. Else- where Jesus declared that the birds represented the Wicked One and his agents, ever ready to take away the seed of Truth and to work adversely as respects the Gospel program. (Matt. 13.4, 19.) In Revelation also the Great Teacher speaks of the Church as becoming Babylon, confusion, and "a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."—Revelation 18.2. Again the Master illustrated the experience of His Church as an embryotic Kingdom. His second parable tells of a woman who hid some leaven in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. This, Bible students are coming to understand, signifies a corrupting of the Divine Message—the spiritual food which God had prepared for the Church. 6 A woman in symbolic language represents a church system; and the Master tells us that such a church sys- Hold of Every Unclean "Bird." Master tells us that Hold of Every Unclean "Bird." a church system will mix leaven, ferment, in the food of God's family until the whole mass will be corrupted. For be it noted that in the Bible leaven is always used as a symbol of sin. This parable shows that the faith once delivered to the saints will be mixed with error, until it will no longer be nourishing to the family. St. Paul pictures the same matter, saying that in the latter days "some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons."—1 Timothy 4:1. These false doctrines are what are troubling the people of God today. Our hearts are better than our heads; for the hearts of the consecrated are in tune with the Infinite One, while the creeds of the Dark Ages are quite out of tune. The blessings coming to Bible students result from breaking loose from the creeds formulated in the Dark Ages and getting back to the teachings of Scripture. The Word of God is sufficient, that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished. -2 Tim. 3:16, 17. Some dear Christian people, looking at matters from a wrong angle, are still deceived into thinking that it is possible for the Church, as the Kingdom of God in an embryotic condition, to do the work which God assigns to that church in her future, glorified condition. The Called Saved. Some inquired of the Lord, Will there be but few saved? Jesus did not give a direct answer, doubtless for two reasons: (1) The Holy Spirit had not yet come, and His followers could not then understand God's Plan thoroughly. (2) It was not due time to explain all the particulars of the spiritual salvation of the Church, and then later the restitution of the world to human perfection. For a certain time the door to the High Calling stands ajar. The possibilities of entering were first presented to the Jews. After finding the "Israelites indeed" God has directed this selection amongst the Gentiles for more than eighteen centuries. Apparently the gathering of the Elect is nearly completed. As soon as the last one shall have passed through the door, it will shut. About that time, a great awakening of religious thought will come to the world, in the midst of a great Time of Trouble. Then many will begin to say that they have neglected the prize. There will be lamentations amongst this class, and a crying, Lord, Lord, are we not to be of the Bride class? But the Lord will disown them as respects the Bride company. Then they will be in great sorrow. Weeping and gnashing of teeth will prevail. This will not be in some far-off place of eternal torture, as once we supposed; but, as the narrative intimates, it will be right here on earth, amongst a class who neglected the privileges of the High Calling when they knew of it. CREED The Lord intimates that some of these will have Hindrances to Many Christians The lord intimates that some of these will have been in close touch with Him and His followers. They had a form of godliness and claimed to have done many mighty works, yet the Lord will disown them as respects Kingdom privileges. They will not have a share even in the earthly Kingdom. It will be given to the Worthies of the past who lived and died before the High Calling was opened up. The heirs of the Kingdom will not be entirely Jewish; for Israel as a nation was not sufficiently holy. When the call to joint-heirship went to the Gentiles, some came from all directions to share in the Kingdom. Thus the first in privilege and opportunity failed. TO ATTEMPT-OCEAN FLIGHT. Alien, Sent Out of Russia, to Fly an American Flag. Mineola, N. Y.-Since Abram Raygorodsky, a graduate of the Farman flying school in Paris, announced his intention of trying for Lord Nothcliffe's prize of $50,000 for a flight in an aeroplane across the Atlantic many have sought the hangar at the aviation field, where Raygorodsky said he would construct his machine. According to his meager description, the craft he has in mind would be a 1 Photo by American Press Association. ABRAM RAYGORODSKY. gigantic affair with two propellers, a tremendous spread of wings and four 200 horsepower motors. He now has a machine which he has been experimenting with at Mineola, keeping his hand in the game until he can fulfill his desire to carry an American flag across the Atlantic in an aeroplane. And Raygorodsky says he will carry an American flag, as he came to this country following an edict of the Russian government that he could not fly in that country because he is a Jew Professor Johnson Says He Can Prove This by Statistics. Washington.—That women's colleges, from the viewpoint of eugenics, contribute toward the degeneracy of the race and ought to be abolished is the conclusion of Dr. Roswell H. Johnson, professor of biology in the University of Pittsburgh, after a careful investigation. His figures show that women's colleges discourage girls from marrying. Professor Johnson believes the time is coming when all women's colleges must be converted into coeducational institutions, and he suggests that for the present the anti-eugenic influence of the colleges might be mitigated through the substitution of men and women for teachers. Professor Johnson sets forth the results of his investigation in the current issue of the Journal of Heredity, the official organ of the American Genetic association. He has collected data in regard to Wellesley college which are significant. Professor Johnson says: "Taking the Wellesley graduates of the classes of 1905 to 1912 inclusive, it was found that 19.1 per cent of them were already married in the fall of 1912, when the facts were collected. But for those whose scholarship was sufficiently high to entitle them to membership in the honor society, Phil Beta Kappa, the ratio of marriage to that of those who did not make this society was at 15 to 19. In other words, high scholarship in college women is, in this case at least, not found to be an aid to marriage, while with the normal schoolgirl the opposite is the case. "In this same tabulation it was found that the alumnae of Wellesley college who were members of the Phi Beta Kappa had an average of .005 of a child each, while the rate for the girls who had not retained the same distinction in scholarship was .085. "The ominousness of this declining marriage rate is aggravated by the low birth rate. Only the earliest classes, with one or two exceptions, have enough children to reproduce the class." REPENTS HIS HORSE THEFT. Religiously Influenced, Is Training to Repay the Loser. Williston, N. D.-J. J. Mayer, who five years ago hired a horse from Boyd Bros. of this city, falling to return with it, has been converted and wants to settle. In a letter from Kellogg, Ida., to Sheriff Olson, Mayer explains the circumstances surrounding his theft. Mayer engaged the horse, riding eight or ten miles west of Williston, where he traded it for another animal, continuing westward. Now Mayer believes the horse was found by its right owners and seeks to settle with the injured third person. But it so happens that Boyd Bros. never found their horse, and they submitted to Mayer a proposition of settlement. FLOWERS For FUNERALS THE NEGRO FARMER THE NEGRO FARMER Something New: Something Needed A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T.

SUNDAY SCHOOL MOURNS FIDO Faithful Attendant For Ten Years Gets Flower Decked Coffin. Ashtabula, O.—Fido, the most faithful attendant at St. Peter's Episcopal Sunday school, was buried with honors in the front lawn of his home. Fido was a little black dog of obscure ancestry owned by Ward Cross, twelve years old, son of Dr. W. C. Cross. For ten years he had attended the Sunday school regularly and always brought a cent. He would enter the church with solemn air, trot down the aisle to the infant class and remain throughout the service without a bark or whine. He carried the coin in his mouth and never missed a session in ten years. Flowers covered his coffin, and children wept for their friend. PAYS HIS FARE WITH AN EGG. Obliging Hen In a Basket Saves Her Owner a Five Mile Walk. Tarrytown, N. Y.-The thoughtfulness of a White Leghorn hen saved West Wood a five mile walk. Wood had the hen in a basket and was returning from White Plains. When he got on a trolley car he could not find his pocketbook. While searching his pockets he heard the hen cackle and, raising the cover, saw a newly laid egg. He explained to the conductor that he had lost his money and asked him to take the egg for the fare.

Munich.-Two international crooks were arrested at a hotel here for a peculiar attempt at robbery. The men had a half starved python with which it is alleged they intended to stampede the guests by turning it loose in the corridor. They figured that the excitement which would follow would enable them to ransack the rooms of guests. Their hopes apparently focused on jewelry worth $125,000 which belonged to an English visitor WEDDING FOLLOWS FUNERAL Not Until Thirty Years Elapse Does Woman Feel Free to Marry. Detroit, Mich.—An engagement between Miss Belle Parry, an assistant principal in the Craft school, and Sillas Hopkins that had extended for a period of thirty years was fulfilled in the marriage of the couple beside the casket of the bride's aged mother, Mrs Arabella Parry, the wedding ceremony following immediately the funeral services for the dead. Not till her parents no longer needed her was Miss Parry ready to reward her betrothed. Her father was held to rest ten years ago, and Miss Parry devoted the years since then to the care of her mother, who had passed her ninety-fourth birthday when she died.

It has already been decided to equip wireless plants in Salina, Abellene, Solomon, Brennington, Chapman, Minneapolis, and Junction City. Other towns are arranging to get in. The scheme is the outgrowth of the wireless enthusiasm of Henry Goodel, a high school boy in this city, and Lee Henry, a photographer at Minneapolis, Knan. They have been sending radiograms to each other for several weeks, increasing the length of their messages steadily until now they can send news stories. The youngsters plan to use the international code. They hope soon to arrange for the relay of messages that will have to travel over forty or fifty miles, as that distance is about the capacity of the weaker instruments. It is too common nowadays. They want to know first how much they", get if they win and how much if they lose. A good, strong fellow could lick Johnson if he was brave and not afraid to take punishment.

Lyons, N.Y.-Leslie A. Riggs, an Alton farmer, twenty-two years old and married, was arrested and confessed to sending Black Hand letters to himself, putting poison in his hogs' feed and burning his barns. Riggs announced recently that he had been receiving the Black Hand letters. He insured his property for $4,200. Then his barns burned.

Farmers are urged to remember that cholera kills millions of hogs where other diseases kill thousands, and attention is called to the fact that prompt administration of anti-hog cholera serum is essential to success. "From a practical standpoint," says the department, "the important thing is to recognize hog cholera as soon as possible after its appearance in a herd that the serum may be applied before the disease progresses too far. Good serum may be depended upon to protect well hogs, and even to cure a large percentage of those in the earliest stages of the disease, but it will not be of much avail when used upon hogs that are already visibly slick." The recent campaign of the D. C. Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to raise funds for the purposes of the Association has met with phenomenal success. Just because the effort has been so successful, the Executive Committee of the D. C. Branch thinks it wise not to call too continuously upon its constituency for money. Therefore, notice is hereby given that persons desiring to give entertainments to raise funds for the Association must communicate their intention to the Executive Committee and be duly authorized before proceeding to sell tickets or to make any public announcement looking toward the collection of funds in the name of the Association. This action will not only prevent the overtaxing of those genuously inclined, but it will also prevent any events from occurring on conflicting dates or in such rapid succession as to mutually hinder financial success.

Paris.—The French admiralty has invited tenders with a view of raising thirteen ships which were sunk by the English in 1692 off Cape de la Hogue. The hulks are reported to carry 1,804 guns and $1,000,000 in billon. The battle of La Hogue was the result of Louis XIV's anger at the failure of his expedition sent to Ireland for the purpose of restoring James II. to the throne. In the battle the English fleet was composed of sixty-three vessels and the Dutch fleet of thirty-six vessels. Against this formidable combination Admiral Tourville sent fifty-one vessels. Just before the battle Tourville called a council of war, and all his officers opposed the idea of fighting the English. Tourville, however, showed them a written order of the king, and this decided the matter. The French were overwhelmingly defeated. Their vessels took refuge in different ports of Brittany and Normandy. Those which accompanied Tourville fled to La Hogue and Cherbourg, where, French history says, they were sunk rather than surrender them to the English. CIVILIZATION KILLS INDIANS. Choctaw Governor Finds They Don't Thrive on "Store Food." Washington.-The prediction that the full blooded American Indian will have disappeared in a half century was made here by Victor M. Locke, governor of the Choctaw nation, one of the five civilized tribes. He estimates that there are 100,000 full bloods living today. Governor Locke attributes the enormous death rate among the full blooded Indians in the last few years to pneumonia and other diseases of the lungs. "In recent years," Governor Locke said, "instead of raising his own meats, vegetables and bread, as he did fifty years ago, the Indian has been obliged to eat the food purchased from stores by the government. Though this food is good, it seems to be impossible for the full blooded Indian to thrive on it. It is against his nature. Give the old Indian the opportunity to rove the plains again, let him hunt for his food, and he will continue to live for many years." Secretary Houston Abolishes Body That Caused Willey's Troubles. Washington.-The board of food and drug inspection in the department of agriculture, which often was the center of attack by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, former chief chemist, has been abolished by Secretary Houston. At the department of agriculture it was said the board had been abolished in the interest of efficiency and economy. Dr. Carl Alsberg, who succeeded Dr. Wiley as pure food chief, will decide the appeals that formerly went to the board. He will be assisted by Dr. R. L. Emerson of Boston. Dr. Wiley botly attacked the pure food board in unmeasured terms at various stages of his administration, declaring its operations hampered administration of the spirit of the pure food law. Under the new plan the enforcement of the pure food law will virtually be intruded to one man. That was what Dr. Wiley contended for Now Ready VARDAMAN UNMASKED A Defense of the Colored Rate by Price: 15 cents per copy. Seven (7) copies for $1.
