IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 48 WASHINGTON, I. D. C., SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1915 HAMPTON ANNIVERSARY By William Anthony Aery. Hampton, Va., April 28. The forty-seventh Anniversary of Hampton Institute brought together from the North and the South hundreds of prominent men and women who are deeply interested in the training of Negro and Indian youth for efficient, Christian service as school teachers, farmers, tradesmen, and homemakers. Busy Days. The Hampton anniversary celebration included a wide range of activities: Reunton of the Class of 1890; folklore concert; inspection of the Trade School shops; interesting demonstrations and addresses by members of the graduating class; parade of the 1400 Hampton students; inspection of the students' dining-room and kitchen; meeting of the National Hampton Association; inspection of the Whittier School (a community public school in which Hampton students receive training in methods of teaching); demonstrations by domestic science and agricultural classes; lessons showing Hampton's aims and methods; and addresses by distinguished visitors. Mr. Taft's Address. Hon. William H. Taft, president of the Hampton Institute Board of Trustees, presented the candidates for certificates and diplomas. He said: "You go out from here with the mark on you A Hampton Graduate. I do not need, I think, to elaborate the advantages that you have in that honor and that privilege. It classifies you. It shows that you have passed through a mold that is expected by the country and the people whom you meet to have developed in you thoroughness, character, and the Hampton spirit of self-sacrifice. "You owe it to yourselves to be worthy of that reputation that you will have ascribed to you. You owe it to your race, for you go out as a Hampton graduate, and if you fail for lack of character, tenacity of character, tenacity of purpose, or in wisdom, you injure your race, because there are those narrow-minded people that will seize upon such a failure as a vindication of their view of your race and you. You owe it, further, to preserve that reputation, to the founder and supporters of Hampton, to General Armstrong and to Dr. Frissell. "You must appreciate the intense interest and intense sympathy that the best people of the North and of the South have for you and your success. You must realize that if you fail, you are making yourselves not worthy of that intense interest and support that they are giving." Hampton Graduating Class. The candidates for certificates were distributed as follows: Agriculture, 14; blacksmithing, 3; bricklaying, 8; business, 1; cabinetmaking, 3; carpentry, 12; machine work, 4; printing, 3; shoemaking, 3; steamfitting, 4; tailoring, 8; upholstering, 1; wheelwrighting, 2; total, 66. Candidates for diplomas: Boys, 38; girls, 24; total, 62. Prizes for Clean Homes. Rev. Dr. Francis G. Peabody, of Cambridge, Mass., who for many years has been a Hampton trustee, awarded, on behalf of the Negro Organization Society, several prizes in gold to colored women of Elizabeth City County, Va., whose homes showed the greatest progress along the line of clean-up. The prizes were made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Alexander Purves of Hampton Institute, who is the daughter of the late Robert C. Ogden. A special money prize was also offered by Mrs. Frank W. Darling of Hampton, Va., a former Hampton Institute worker. Spreading the Hampton idea. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, who has shown a deep interest in promoting the welfare of colored people, both in cities and in the country, said he was pleased to find that all of the girls in the Hampton graduating class had applied for teachers' certificates. "If these young women and a good many of the young men devote their lives to the teaching of others and giving to others the advantages that they have gained, the work of Hampton will be multiplied beyond any figure that we can possibly assume," he added. Negroes in Cities. Mr. Rosenwald, referring to the plight of Negroes in cities, said: "Every one can use his or her influence to try and get greater justice for the colored man in the cities. When you stop to think that practically no colored man or colored woman can get a decent job in any of our large cities, it doesn't speak very well for our civilization." "This is not a thing that you can force or buy for money, but influence will bring about that condition which will give a chance to a colored man—a decent, honest, colored man—and a decent, honest colored girl—to get a position and earn an honest living. Addresses. Percival L. Prattls of Philadelphia spoke on the Babcock test as "A Searchlight in the Dairy;" Melissa T. Preston, Spartansburg, S. C., "Fabrics Worth Buying;" Melvin T. Wildy, Avalon, Va., "Horseshoes;" Fred C. Kimbo, "Why I Came Back to Hampton;" Carmen Monton, a Yaqli Indian of El Paso, Texas, "Memories of My Childhood;" Robert J. Peagler, Calhoun, Ala., "Influence of the Calhoun School;" Harriet E. Marshall, Alken, S.C., "The Story Hour;" Winfield Creekmur, Portsmouth, Va., "How to Build a Cart Wheel;" Elizabeth Bender, a Chippewa Indian, Penturen, Minn., "A Hampton Graduate in the Indian Service;" Thomas J. Edwards, Hampton '05, superintendent of the Negro Boys' Reformatory at Hanover, Va., "Personal Experiences." Hampton's Friends. The Hampton Anniversary brings together men and women who are leaders in the professions, in society, and in philanthropic activities. The custom of bringing from Northern cities a group of sympathetic friends to see and study Hampton, begun some years ago by the late Robert C. Ogden, has been kept up during recent years through the Initiative and enterprise of Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York, who is president of the National Hampton Association. Under the leadership of A. T. Stroud, a lawyer of Norfolk and a curator of Hampton Institute, a large party of Southern men and women attended the Hampton anniversary. Rev. Dr. W. Sparks Melton of Norfolk said: "Without a note of discord, of prejudice, or of sectionalism, we of the South join with friends of the North in their hymn of praise, and without a fear of being misunderstood we lay our tribute of appreciation where we know it will be worthily worn." Hampton has recognized as fundamental the fact that the supreme task of human life is the growing of a human soul. Dr. Melton emphasized the importance of this idea in bringing into closer relation the North and the South. A GREAT EVANGELIST. Rev. Chauncey I. Withrow of Norfolk, Va., at Rev. Logan Johnson's (By C. C. Glll.) we were blessed with a gracious revival, through which many precious souls were born into the Kingdom, and there have been added to the church many persons "such as shall be saved." This church, with the Bethel A. M. E. Church, of this city, of which Rev. James M. Wheeler is pastor, went into a union-revival, and the pastors were successful in securing the services of the Rev. Chauncey I. Withrow, of Norfolk, Ya... who conducted the meetings. Careful preparations were made for his coming, and plans laid which were calculated to bring great results. When he arrived on the ground, he found every one on the top-toe of expectation, and looking forward to great things in the providence of God. Under the guidance of the Spirit the meetings were carried on with increasing interest and enthusiasm, the pastors and evangelist working together in great harmony, without the slightest jar, all being bent on one thing—namely, the winning of men back to God. The evangelist preached with great power, and supported by the pastors and the large army of church workers, who, so nobly, and with untiring zeal, worked for the cause, was able to bring many to a saving knowledge of the truth, as it is in Jesus. One hundred and thirty seven souls were soundly converted, of which number 65 joined our church, 20 went to the A. M. E. Church, 13 to the Wesleyan, and 7 to the Baptist church. The meetings were admitted the best ever held in this city, and the interest extended even to the white people, more than two thousand of whom attended the services, altogether. Numbered among the converts were persons of every age, class and grade of intelligence, some being as old as seventy years. In every nook and corner of the community the revival was felt. It was a great spiritual awakening, the like of which had not been seen before, and the effects of which will be far-reaching and profound. As a result of this revival the spiritual interest has increased, and we look forward to a new era in the religious life of the church. Already we see signs of wonderful improvement, and we feel confident that the good effects of the revival will last and be more and more fruitful as the days go by. Those who were saved, we believe, were soundly converted. There was no hasty acceptance of Christ. They did not start following Him without counting the cost. They literally wrestled with God until the break of day, and only quit when they got the blessing. For many a night it was two or three o'clock in the morning before the services closed. It was a great spectacle to see men and women falling down under conviction as must have been done at Pentecost, when they fell at the feet of Peter and the rest of the Apostles, saying, "Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved." We saw these precious souls born; we are confident that they will live." The press speaks of him in the most compulsory manner. MAY 15TH. Arverne's Long Island's Great Summer Hostelry Opens for Season. Many Desirable Improvements. Entire Change of Management. On Saturday, May 15th, the long established and far famed Hotel Lincoln at Arverne, Long Island, will open its doors for the ensuing summer season for the colored public's invasion and patronage. This huge building, comprising twenty-six large, airy and THE MONK BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS Thinks that the President will appoint a colored recorder of deeds. magnificently appointed rooms, together with dining salon of extraordinary seating capacity has been subjected to a thorough overhauling, renovation and redecoration. Expense has been of secondary importance in beautifying the premises in keeping with the beauty of the great sea shore and rest-resort. The hotel will be operated this year under entire new management. The experienced and much travelled Mrs. C. A. Breckenridge having assumed the reins of guidance, states, that it shall be her desire and chief aim to cater solely to the public's wishes and pleasures. To that end the new management has caused the addition of a large dancing pavilion to be erected on one side of the hotel and is bending every effort to the securing of grounds in front of the building for a lawn tennis court. The kitchen will be under the supervision of expert chef cooks who will provide breakfasts, lunches and dinners in tasteful and appetizing styles. Waitresses and up-stair servants have been engaged with care and discretion. Very moderate prices will prevail throughout the season. The Greatest Hotel In the East. Visit This Place. Cana May. N. J. This Place. Cape May, N. J. Four years ago the management of the Hotel Dale undertook the gigantic responsibility to submit to the traveling public the opportunity to choose as a place of abode, during their vacation in the summer season, a first-class hotel, to supplant the old custom of being crowded into small lodging and boarding houses, where the sanitary conditions, as a rule, were not conducive to good health. In so doing, the management was confronted with a number of problems to solve to insure the confidence of the public in general, that success might be attained. The Hotel Dale is not a pictorial structure on paper, but, in reality, an architectural building—a work of art, a monument to good taste. Every t REV. CHAUNCEY J. WITHROW.

HOTEL DALE. known device which makes for safety and comfort has been introduced to make this as complete a living place as possible, where the elite, as well as others, can enjoy the pleasures of life without any infraction, surrounded by most pleasant environments, with accommodations to meet the demands of all classes. The interior of this hotel, conceived in perfect taste, even in seemingly insignificant details, cannot be surpassed. In fact, as one wanders through the rooms, it seems more like a dignified, yet gentle residence than any building of public nature. The rooms are light, airy and luxuriously furnished, and contain every modern convenience, suites with bath. The dining room is operated on the European system, and its cuisine rivals that of the finest hotels of record. Here is a place where those who appreciate simple elegance of service and all that makes for ease of living may have their desire satisfied without extravagance. The Abyssinian orchestra renders afternoon and evening concerts daily during the season. The open-air amusements are numerous, with lawn tennis courts on the premises. The moral status of the hotel is above reproach, and reflects credit on the management, who have passed the crucial period and stood the test of the most profound critic, and today is the most popular hostelry of color in the country. Until one has seen for himself the charming rooms in this palatial building, it is not possible to conceive the grace and elegance of the decorations, lighting and furnishing of the room floors. Many of our leading men, women and children who have traveled abroad have been guests at this hotel, and they acclaim the management for the excellent manner in which it is conducted. The success thus far attained has been very gratifying, and proves that Mr. Dale has made no mistake in the opening of this gem of seashore resorts, and the public has demonstrated approval of his efforts by the patron- ning with the the Normal, rendition of was demon- teachers wore good results, pils who took trained, but brought before same training enough to a could be obta- music depart- ington a tr praise cannot workers for pupils.

The prices for the privileges, comforts and conveniences cannot be had anywhere for less than one is asked to pay in this hotel, and here is a good place to puncture an overworked misconception concerning the financial requirements for a hotel of this class. Wild tales of fabulous prices have been spread broadcast, and among these many glowing falsehoods have flourished. Indeed, for service and surrounding, the rates are low, and the proprietor who has made possible this hotel desires it to be understood that every effort has been made to adjust a minimum rate to a maximum of service. The hotel is personally managed by Mr. Dale, with a corps of attendants, who are thoroughly experienced in every department, and their efficiency of service enables them to give satisfaction to the guest without friction. A sojourn to Cape May will convince the most skeptical person that, in registering at the Hotel Dale, they have visited the most finely equipped negro hotel known, where there is to be found accommodations unequaled. Requisitions for reservations, or for information, will receive prompt attention by addressing Hotel Dale, Cape May, New Jersey. BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS. Bishop Alexander Walters was in this city last and this week. Among other things the distinguished Bishop said that he has the most abiding faith in President Wilson and of the belief that a colored man will be appointed recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. He left for Philadelphia Tuesday. THOMAS BECKETT, ESQ. Among the successful native Washingtonians who have defended many civil and criminal cases, The Bee can not hesitate in naming Thomas Beckett, Esq., a graduate from the law school of Howard University. He is a young man who has not as yet been captured by Cupid's darts, and neither has had the time to consider such a vast question. He has handled several important civil and criminal cases very successfully, but the most important case that seems to throw him is the matrimonial market. Mr. Beckett is what you may call a hustling lawyer. No man is any more popular among his fellow associates than he is. He is genial and liberal to a fault. He is willing and ready at all times to help his fellowmen and he is one among the many who doesn't mingle with that class known as the knockers. COLORED SCHOOL PUPILS IN SONG. Before an audience which filled Convention Hall Friday night, April 30, more than 1,500 pupils appeared in a musical. The rendition of the parts on the program was received by the audience with hearty applause. The songs of the primary department were directed by Miss Josephine Wormley, Miss Charlotte M. Wallace and Miss Virginia Williams. The first and second grades sang "Motor Car," "Woodpecker" and "Salute to the Flag." The third and fourth grades sang "Good Fairies" and "By an Indian Campfire." Miss Beatriz L. Chase and Miss Marle C. James directed the music in the Intermediate Department. "Woodland Song" and "Fiddle-Dee-Dee" were sung by the fifth and sixth grades. "The Beautiful Blue Danube" and "May Morning Song" were sung by the seventh and eighth grades. Miss Mary L. Europe and Ernest R. Amos directed the music of the M Street High School. Armstrong Manual Training and the Department of Business Practice. "The music of Myrtilla Miner Normal School was directed by Miss Lola Johnson. Prof. J. T. Layton, assistant director of music in the public schools, directed a chorus, singing "Steal Away." The progress of the pupils, beginning with the first grade and through the Normal, was fully shown by the rendition of the program. The fact was demonstrated that our music teachers work well to produce such good results. Not only the 1,500 pupils who took part on the program are trained, but all those who were not brought before the public received the same training and if a place large enough to accommodate every pupil could be obtained the teachers of the music department would give Washington a treat indeed. Too much praise cannot be given these faithful workers for the instruction given the pupils. The musical was given for the benefit of the Public School Athletic League, and it also elevates the standard of music in the estimation of the public. The music in our schools plays a very important part in the education of the pupils. With such a corps of competent teachers, the music of the colored public schools of the District of Columbia stands second to none. The dancing by the ten girls in the "May Morning Song," directed by Miss Chase, was perfect and the whistling by the boys in "Fiddle-Dee-Dee," director by Miss James, was fine.

Prohibition Night—Interesting Program—Excellent Music—Banner Awarded Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Despite the rain, thunder and ligh ning of last Tuesday night, regular Bethel Literary night, a fine and ap preciative audience assembled in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on M street, Rev. C. H. Stepteau, pastor, to hear the rendering of the program for Prohibition Night. Seated on the pulpit were Mrs. Alma J. Scott, president, District W. C. T. U.; Mrs. Rosetta Lawson, National Organizer W. C. T. U.; Rev. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. J. Milton Waldron; Andrew Wilson, Esq., president Anti-Saloon League; Wm. H. W. Easterhug, Rev. C. H. Stepteau and Miss Masle A. D. Madre, president of Bethel Literary. The exercises began with the rendition of a beautiful anthem by the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Junior Choir, Madam Smith directress, followed by prayer by Rev. Dr. Waldron and then a second selection by the Juulor Class. President Madre Introduced Mrs. Alma J. Scott, who read an excellent paper: Mrs. Lawson was next presented, as the woman who has dedicated her life to the temperance cause. Rev. Dr. Brooks was next presented and read a brief paper attacking the arguments of the liquor dealer. The speech of the evening was next delivered by Mr. Wilson, president of the District Anti-Saloon League, who was introduced by Rev. Dr. Brooks. Mr. Wilson's speech was a grappling speech, as he recited the work of the league, and of the good the Jones-Works law was doing. Perhaps the most remarkable statements made by the speaker was the announcement that the next Congress would make the District dry and that the bill was already drawn. President Madre at the conclusion of Miss French's recital, called the roll of churches, asking the members of each congregation to stand until they were counted. While the various churches were represented, the membership of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church largely exceeded that of any other and was declared by the president the winner of the Bethel Literary Prohibition Banner and will be entitled to the custody of the banner until Prohibition Night, 1916, when it will be awarded to the church with the largest membership present. The banner was presented by Mr. Wilson, president of the Anti-Saloon League, and received on behalf of the church by Miss Orleans Bottesee, a member of the Junior Choir. President Madre deserves much credit for the splendid program presented, and especially for the banner presentation. Rev. Dr. Waldron served notice on Rev. Stepteau that his church, the Shiloh Baptist, would relieve him of caring for the banner on Prohibition Night, 1916. At the conclusion of Mr. Wilson's speech Rev. Waldron and Rev. Stepteau commended the speech and the speaker, and pledged themselves to do their utmost to advance an organization that is non-discriminatory, nonracial, non-sectarian, and which meant so much to the ordinary laborer and wage earner—the class upon whom the saloon at most entirely depends, taking his money, robbing his wife and children and giving in return poverty, misery, crime and eternal damnation. Old Folks Day at 19th Street Baptist Church. The annual Old Folks Day was very appropriately celebrated on Sunday at 19th Baptist church After hearing a very eloquent sermon by the pastor, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, the old and Infirm members were escorted to the lecture room where they enjoyed a very hearty welcome and dinner by a large cmmitee of which Wm. B. Harris was the chairman, whose hospitalities were much appreciated by the large number of old members present. Crisper Attuck's Anniversary. The Crisper Altuck's Relief Association, accompanied by the Ladies Auxiliary Association, attended divine worship on Sunday evening at the Plymouth Congregational church, 17th and P streets northwest, and celebrated their fourteenth anniversary, Rev. A C. Garner delivered a very interesting sermon, full of thought and inspiration. The choir of the church and other talent furnished the music. Mr. Wm. A. Carter, Jr., and Mr. Chester Dodson each rendered excellent solos for the occasion. Prof Hearshaw, the president, delivered an excellent address. Knights of Toussaint L'Overture, Notice.

I can't just decipher why they call an automobile ride a "joy ride." To my certain knowledge there has been more sorrow buckled up in these "joy rides" than in some railroad wrecks. When a prominent citizen loads his car down with a bevy of beauty, etc., and about one nondescript who passes for one of the male variety, and starts out on a forty-mile scorch, and gets brought back in installments, they call it a "joy ride," but it ain't no such thing, according to my notion of twentieth century events. And another thing, I ain't just certain whether I will buy a Ford or not, when they get down within by pocket-book's range. I heard about a fellow who went riding in a Ford; run over a forty-foot embankment, the machine turned turtle, etc., and some fellow came along, just turned it over, cranked it up, and she went off just as if she hadn't gone over a forty-low embankment. They said that was what all Fords would do—just could not damage one of these road houses. That sounds pretty good for an advertisement of a Ford, but I also heard of another Ford what started to make a curve in the road when the carbeneter sprung a leak, the spark plug went on a strike, the tires buckled up on some of the wheels, and flew off of others, and the crank flew the coop, and the spinal mengits of the whole transpals just sagged, and everybody in the car, including the mild-mannered driver, suffered from a lot of broken bones and bruises, and gossip, and a lot of other things. When I buy a car, just take it from me I aln't going to try to load it down with a bunch of clever ones, and take along my secretary for good measure, for fear something will happen in the relay race. Now getting back to the Ford. You just can't tell, after dark, what's going to make a joy ride develop into a sorrow song, and if you will take my advice you will avoid long rides without chaperones, protectors, and accident policies. Now I'm thinking, during the reflective moments that jarred me into sensibility this past week, that "joy riding" ain't always joyous, and that a fellow who has been tossing missiles in other a front and back yards better pledge of seclusion and ex- before be gets too vigorous in up on the other fellow, cause it can't tell, in large cities, when mesis is going to beat the masst on a forty-mile run. Funny about dreams. Now I had a dream the other night, and I thought I was the main squeeze in the drama called "Putting One Over on Them." In the second scene of the play, second act, I thought I bought, hired or rented a Ford, and loaded it down with three of a kind, and a pair of another—making a full house, and started out for a forty-mile run to let my auto guests view the topography of the country lying between here and thither. Everything was running smoothly. The tank was full of gasoline, the spark plug worked to perfection, the carbenser never was better, and everybody aboard was in good spirits, including the goat who sometimes is called the "secretary." We were running at a pretty good speed—just a trifle faster than the cops will let you go it down Pennsy avenue. Nobody was supposed to know that we was joy riding, and it was none of their business if they did, cause in the play I was the main squeeze print, and I had the power of a Warrick. But all of a sudden everything what was just right went wrong, and before we got back to town the newsies was yelling "Extra! Extra! All about the disastrous joy ride." It's funny what little things will start people to talk in this berg. If a fellow that's single takes a married woman out for a joy ride out towards Bennpligs, some people take a day off to talk about it. If a boss takes one or two of his subordinates out for a forty-mile spin, some people whatn't used up all their thirty-day skel leave lay off to talk about it. They wonder why he didn't take his wife, and they wonder why they took sclh and sclh a one, and they wonder why he took along a secretary when there wasn't going to no letter writing. Now a secretary is a sort of handy thing to have. around. You can make him say whatever you tell him to say, and you can use him for a tool or a pair of pilfers, or a chisel or a jimmy, or a can opener, or a corkscrew—he's just one handy thing to have with you on a joy ride. Besides he is a protection. But getting back to my dream, it's all over now. There was a sudden awakening, and when I came to I found I hadn't been in no play at all. Some old mumied metphysician said that a dream was just the continuation of day thoughts. Well if that is true what is a late at night joy ride? I leave it to my fellow-compatriot, Aaron Gaskins, to figure out, cause just now I'm busy listening to gossip that I ain't got time, nor brain condition to delve into dense subjects. "It's a long way to Tipperary," and "it's a long lane what ain't got no turn" are two proclamations, one of recent issuance, and the latter about fifty or more years old. But they sure do sound good to me as being just a bit prophetic, or as Dick Thompson would say, "they show the trend of things." I've just been trying to recall a few idiotic expressions that fit the finanly of some joy rides. One of them is, "You can't keep on doing other people without getting done yourself." Another one is "Murder will out." Still another one is "Time will tell," and one more is "Chickens will come home to roost." I never wished nobody no harm, and I've always tried to smooth out the wrinkled front of fate when it hovered close to some jitney buss, and you can't point your finger at the Sage and say he "wished it on you." But just let me ease it over to you in a gentle, "Quality Row" manner, just as sure as "it's a cold day that blows nobody good" just that sure is it a long day that brings no retribution. I hinted to you a couple of weeks ago that there was a sensation on the road what would make all other sensa- tions look like a deuce up against an ace full. Well do I hear one saying the sensation is here. I gets around the town just tollerably well, and I hears a heap of stuff, and I sees some things, and I knows other things. I can tell when a road is straight, and when a watch is ticking, and when a train arrives on time, and I can pick out a romance from a truth contractor, and I can come pretty near telling when a fellow is on the dead level and when he's trying to fool somebody. As I have said frequently in this especially high grade, generally read department; the fellow who thinks he's fooling people ain't fooling nobody but himself. Why, man, don't you know that everybody knows your shortcomings when you think you are an expert in covering them up? Sure they do. You just can't go on doing everybody all the time without being done yourself. Stick a pln there. And if you don't watch out the goblins will git you. Stick a safety right there. And your sins will find you out—stick a clothespint right there. But when is a joy ride not a joy ride? Think it over, consult the fortune-teller, and let me know before I start my Ford out on a forty-mile alleged joy ride after dark when my spouse ain't along. Mebbe Tom Jones, who is a great criminal lawyer, can tell you the definition and significance of a joy ride, and mebbe you will find it in the Ford catalogue. But the sensation! Who said sensation? Listen, watch, wait, and see. THE FATAL AUTO RIDE Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce and Companions Injured in a Wreck. Four Seriously Injured, One Escapes. Wednesday morning, April 21st, a telegram was sent to one of the morning papers that assistant superintendent of schools, Mr. Roscoe C. Bruce, with his private secretary, were injured in an automobile wreck near Relay, Md. In another published account, it was stated besides Mr. Bruce who was injured in a wreck near Relay, Md., were his secretary, Mr. Morton, Miss Jesse Wormley, a teacher in the Normal School, her two sisters, Merriam Wormley Lewis, and Miss Helen Anderson. Nothing definite has yet been published as to how the accident happened or who were really in the car, other than those who have been previously mentioned. It is stated that Mr. Bruce was at the Franklin Building from 3 until 8 o'clock p. m.; that he was waiting to be called in the Normal School case which was called up just prior to Mr. Bruce's leaving it is said to attend a birthday party at which place his mother was attending. Miss Jesse Wormley was seen between 5 and 5:30 o'clock and it was stated going to the Franklin school. After which time she and her two sisters were seen leaving their home and one of the ladies remarked that they all were going to the Howard theater. They were seen in the Howard Theater until 8 o'clock at which time they left and when last heard from they all had been injured in a wreck coming from some place in Maryland, and instead of taking the road to the left they took the wrong road. Mr. Bruce and Miss Jesse Wormley were seated in front; Mr. Bruce was driving the car and Miss Wormley was seated on his left. The other two females were seated in the back, it is said, with Mr. Morton, Mr. Bruce's secretary. Where they were coming from has not been published. The car was going at a high rate of speed and when the crash came Mr. Bruce and Miss Jesse Wormley were thrown twenty or thirty feet. Mr. Bruce sustained several cuts upon his head and in his face, disfiguring his PETER H. MR. ROSCOE C. BRUCE, Dangerously injured and at Mercy Hospital, Baltimore, with mother and wife by his side. eyes and injuring his skull, and when he was picked up he was unconscious. Miss Jesse Wormley had her front teeth knocked out and one arm and leg broken, one leg badly bruised and in such a condition the doctors were not able to operate on it. One of Miss Wormley's eyes was badly cut. She is more badly injured than her sisters. Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Merriam Wormley Lewis were thrown out and sustained broken arms and broken legs. Mr. Morton, whom it was alleged, was seated next to the two fe- males, claimed not to have been injured at all. Just how Mr. Morton escaped injury has not been explained as yet. Mr. Bruce was carried to Mercy Hospital in Baltimore in an unconscious condition and it was several days before he gained consciousness. Dr. Williston was telephoned for to come at once and bring a car and convey the injured to the city. It was some time before he secured a vehicle and when he did get one it was the ambulance of the James Brothers who made double-quick time in arriving at Laurel, Md., where he found the three females in a dangerous and serious condition. They were all placed into the ambulance of the James Brothers and conveyed to their homes upon stretchers where they are being attended by Dr. Williston and others. According to the Statement Made by Normal School No. 2. A most peculiar coincident occurred on the morning of April 22, Thursday, when the principal of Normal School No. 2, Dr. Moten, arrived. In making her rounds she found that Miss Jesse Wormley was absent, but she was marked present on the register. At first Miss Moten gave the matter no concern because she thought that she was present. But upon further and closer investigation she was convinced that Miss Jesse Wormley was absent and not present. The principal phoned to her home but she could get no information where she was. Thereupon Dr. Thurston was notified and the foregoing circumstances were related to him. He asked the principal why she had not notified him before. And when Dr. Thurston was informed the reasons, the teacher who had marked Miss Wormley present was called and confronted Dr. Thurston and asked why she had marked Miss Wormley present. She first made a faint denial, but when she was strongly confronted with what she had told Miss Moten, she admitted that she had marked her present but didn't know why she did so. Many conflicting reports have been circulated concerning this affair, but Dr. Thurston is in possession of all the facts and at this time they will be withheld until Dr. Thurston submits his report to the board of education. The latest report from the scked bed of Mr. Bruce is that he is improving and is no doubt out of danger, which is most gratifying to his family. R. C. BRUCE AND FOUR OTHERS IN AUTO INJURED. Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Colored Schools in Baltimore Hospital. From the Evening Star April 23. Five persons were injured in the automobile accident Wednesday night in which Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools in this city, and son of the late Senator B. K. Bruce of Mississippi, was dangerously hurt. Others injured are Miss J. A. Wormley, a teacher in the Colored Normal School, forearm broken and ankle sprained. Mrs. Helen Anderson of Wilmington, Del., severe concussion of the head, possibly skull fractured. Mrs. Miriam Lewis, forearm broken in several places, leg broken. Fred D. Morton, bruised about the body and suffering from contusions. Mr. Bruce received two severe cuts over his left eye. His back also was hurt and his arms strained. It was thought at first that his skull was fractured. He was unconscious when picked up and remained unconscious nearly al of yesterday, though he partly recovered consciousness in the afternoon. Mrs. R. C. Bruce, his wife, and his mother, Mrs. B. K. Bruce, went to Baltimore upon learning of the accident. An examination was made by physicians of John Hopkins Hospital today. Mishap Was Near Relay, Md. The accident occurred near Relay, Md., on what is known as the "S" curve, one of the front wheels of the machine breaking. At the time of the accident the car was making between eighteen and twenty miles an hour, it is said. Mr. Bruce was driving the car. The tire first came off, followed immediately by the "bucking" of the wheel. This threw the entire party from the machine. Mr. Bruce striking on his head about eight feet away. Mr. Morton, his secretary, who occupied the seat beside him, was thrown over the windshield into an adjoining field and escaped with lighter injuries, perhaps, than the others. Two automobiles which approached the wrecked machine from opposite sides gave assistance. Because of the apparent seriousness of Mr. Bruce's condition it was decided that he, accompanied by his secretary, should be hurried to Baltimore. The second car took the three women as far as Laurel, where they received medical attention. The three women are sisters. Mrs. Bruce had declined an invitation to join the party. Mr. Bruce was appointed as assistant superintendent about eight years ago. He was an honor man of Harvard, graduating in 1902. He has been ticularly active in advancing vocational education in the colored schools and has lectured in many parts of the country. And they say, for every quarrel a man and his wife have before others, they have a hundred when alone: Love is blind, but jealousy goes around with a 50-inch telescope. Farewell, farewell, fried oysters. The French government has decided to adopt all children made orphans by the war. It is a good thing to be rich and a good thing to be strong, but it is a better thing to be loved of many friends. ARGENTINE PRIDE SPURNS BIG PROFIT Greece, Peaceful, Made Largest Bid Against Many Other Countries—Acquisition of Vessel Would Have Given Her a Big Naval Advantage Over Turkey. New York. —Argentina's patriotic pride in her new super-Dreadnought Moreno, which sailed recently from Newport News, is strong. Not even a profit of about $6,000,000 in cash could induce the South American republic to sell this warship, one of the largest afoil, which was built at Camden, N. J. The offer was made by Greece through an agent in this city, acting on instructions of the Greek minister in Paris, whose government was willing to pay $3,500,000 for the American built vessel. The cost to Argentina for the construction of the Moreno was about $12,000,000. Greece, however, was not the only country that made bids for the immediate transfer of the warship for monetary considerations that would net Argentina a large profit. Italy, it is understood, is anxious to add the great sea fighting machine to its navy, although her offer was not as large as that made by the Athens government. The first intimation that negotiations had been in progress mentioned Russia as the biddler, but the fact of Russia's inability to use the navy she now has eliminated that country as one of the nations that coveted the Moreno. "Yes, there have been offers for the sale of the Moreno," said Manuel A. Mollina, acting Argentine consul in New York. "I am not sure which countries' made the bids, but I know that all of them were rejected by my government." The fact that Greece, not yet embroiled in the European conflict, was the highest bidder for the new sea fighter confirms a recent statement that the Hellenic power has been making pretentious military preparations, which included the purchase of the United States warships Idaho and Mississippi for $12,000,000 and are now followed by the further offer of about $17,500,000 for the Moreno to add to her ready made navy. Greece has also bought about 100,000 tons of coal in this country and a large quantity of hospital supplies, besides ammunition. The further fact that Greece was able to pay $12,000,000 in cash for the two American vessels and was ready to pay the amount bid for the Moreno also indicates a favorable condition of the Greek exchequer or the readiness* of a friendly power to advance the necessary money. The New York agent to whom the Greek minister at Paris intrusted the important mission is in close social and commercial relations with Argentina, but the government at Buenos Aires refused to consider even the flattering offer that would mean a profit of 50 per cent of the battleship's cost. The prospective purchaser or purchasers were encouraged in their negotiations by the controversy that developed between the Argentine government and the New York Shipbuilding company, which built the Moreno, over the payment for extra work, which delayed the delivery. The acquisition of this vessel of 27,500 tons displacement and a speed of $22\frac{1}{2}$ knots by the Greek navy in case of a conflict with her ancient and natural enemy, Turkey, would be of great importance and would give that country a greatly superior naval strength over that possessed by Turkey. Argentina has proudly rejected the great inducement, and the Moreno will continue to fly the blue and white flag. The transport Chaco of the Argentine navy brought the crew for the Moreno and is now at Philadelphia. The Chaco will follow the super-Dreadnought south. · DOG A "PANHANDLER." Bubbles Collected Pennies Enough to Pay For License. Warren, Mass.—For the license of Bubbles, a dog owned by Edward W. Burns, a former proprietor of the Hotel Ramsdell, 200 cents were paid to Town Clerk William F. Dunam. Bubbles collected the cents himself from traveling salesmen and other guests in the hotel. He is a Boston bull terrier, six years old and is known to every child here. Bubbles will not be satisfied unless he is given a cent. At all times he will refuse silver. When a cent is thrown to him he grabs it in his teeth and runs to a corner of a room and then returns for more. At the beginning of the year Mr. Burns' son began to save the cents received by Bubbles. The cents are on exhibition in the window of a Main street store. New Shoes Every Six Weeks. London.--It is estimated that six weeks is the life of an army shoe and that for a year of the war 71,000,000 pairs will be necessary. RURAL BILLY SUNDAY WINS. Brings Them In With "Paint and Brush Methods." Greencastle, Ind.-The Rev. Julius Pfeiffer, who has charge of the Patricksburg circuit in the northwest Indiana M. E. conference, is making good. Pfeiffer is using a brush and liberal quantities of paint. He has advertised himself all over his curcuit. At the crossroads he has painted his name and the time of his meetings in big letters. eH says "balks" and "kickers" and "threats" will not go with him as long as he is on the job. One of his familiar phrases is: "I am on the job to stay; must see the thing through. If you want that soft taffy kind of preaching I am not the man to give it to you. As long as I am here I am going to talk about a big God, who has a broad humanitarian platform and who really makes folks do something." Mr. Pfeiffer says his business is "pickling up" since he started his advertising scheme, and he "expects to be running his shops on full time" by June 1. He desires to "double his output" by Sept. 15. HUNTING BURIED GOLD. Mayoralty Aspirant Has Men Digging For Indian Treasure. Pendleton, Ore.-It. F. Kirkpatrick, a claimant for the mayor's chair and prominent rancher on the Umatilla Indian reservation, is using all his farm hands in an industrial search for supposed buried treasure. The excitement was caused by Koko-yea-lash, an aged Indian woman, whose land Kirkpatrick has rented. The old woman is ill, and, fearing she is about to die, she told Mr. Kirkpatrick that about nineteen years ago she buried a large quantity of gold in a tin can near her tepee. She said she buried it about two feet deep, leaving a string attached and extending to the surface of the ground so she could find it again. The string has long since rotted off, and the woman has either forgotten the exact location of the treasure or is too ill to describe the spot. All the ground within a radius of several rods of her old tepee has therefore been plowed, up and scraped away, but so far no treasure. Chicago. One of the results of the European war will be great increase in American output of horses and cattle. This country will become the meat producing spot of the world. The annual output of 10,794,000 head will probably be increased from 20 to 50 per cent. Reports from Europe have shown that the destruction of live stock due to the war is beyond all present realization. All the countries have been chary about emitting statistical information concerning it because they are trying to maintain an air of calm and confidence about their food supplies. But the truth is getting out, and it is, in brief, that Europe will be impoverished in regard to live stock supplies sooner than in almost any other economic direction. Two chief results are already beginning to be perceived. One, and the obvious one, is that all the world will need meat from the United States as never before. The other is that the United States will change places with Europe in regard to supplying the finest breeding stock. The magnificent breeding stock of Holland, Belgium, Great Britain, France—cattle and horses, alike—are being sacrificed to the war, and it is freely predicted that after the war American breeders will be called upon to export fine animals in large numbers to countries from which in the past they have been wont to import. Europe is the greatest live stock country in the world, taken as a whole. Its supplies are vastly larger than those of the United States, of South America or any other of what are commonly thought of as the stock raising regions. But Europe, because of its immense population, still has a deficiency that must be made up by importations, and so its place as a stock growing continent is not rightly understood. The greatest of the stock raising territories are involved in the war. They are killing off their horses, destroying them in battle and the deadly transport service and also making it impossible to raise the annual crop of colts. Thus the loss is really a double one. For a long time the capacity of the western ranges for producing and maintaining stock has been growing less. As a result government statistics show a reduction of the number of cattle in seventeen western range states in a period of four years from 30,000,000 to 23,000,000 and of the number of sheep from 30,000,000 to 32,000,000. The range has been overfed in some sections until great areas of it are becoming well high denuded of grass and actually tending to reversion to desert conditions. Mother Has Son Arrested. Paris.—When, two French soldiers returned to Paris and couldn't give a good reason for it the mother of one locked them in a room and called the police. They were arrested as deserters. SNAKE CAUSES AUTO WRECK Runaway Follows Owner's Effort to Kill Copperhead on Seat. East Orange, N. J.—James Morrison of Orange went automobiling with his family the other afternoon and when over the Second mountain drove into a dirt road so that his wife and two children could pick wild flowers. They left the car under a large oak tree and taunted off. Half an hour later Mrs. Morrison and her two children returned to the car for the return trip. Colled up on the front seat was a large copperhead snake. The mother and children, dropping the flowers, ran away screaming. Mr. Morrison returned to the car and, as the branches hung low over it, pushed it back to the macadam road of Eagle Rock avenue. Getting a stout club from the woods, he swung at the snake, missed it and accidentally gave the car a push, and down the hill it went. The grade was very steep, and the automobile run through a wooden fence into the farm of Jacob Miller, striking a calf, killing a couple of chickens and finally halting after it had torn away part of Miller's back porch. By this time there was not much left of the car, and Mr. Morrison, with his wife and two children, walked four miles home. The snake escaped. USE FOUND FOR BEAR GRASS. Fiber Obtained From It Converted Into Cordage, Matting, Etc. Tucumcari, N. M.-Gathering the spear-like leaves of the wild bear grass that grows profusely over a large area of western Texas and bailing the fiber that is obtained therefrom is a new industry for this part of the country. A large plant for preparing the fiber for market has been established here. The product is shipped to Chicago, where it is manufactured into rope, cordage, matting and other products. The available supply of the raw material is said to be practically inexhaustible. Up to the time it was discovered that the leaves contain a valuable fiber bear-grass was considered worthless by the ranchmen. It is now proving a source of considerable revenue for the land owners and the men who are employed in marketing it. Washington. — Eternal vigilance is needed on the part of the immigration department in restricting the number of unit immigrants trying to enter this country. Although immigration has had a tremendous drop, paupers, insane, epileptic and feeble minded persons, professional beggars, those likely to become a public charge, contract laborers, assisted aliens, those living on immorality and others debarred from entering this country still seem to be emigrating, though probably in smaller numbers. Last year 33,041 individuals were refused entrance to this country, a proportion to the total number of aliens (immigrant and nonimmigrant) landing of 2.3 per cent, while for the half year ending January, 1915, 15,208 were debarred, being 5.1 per cent of the total immigration during that time. Of those trying to enter during the last six months 240 were idiots, imbeciles or feeble minded, 67 were insane or epileptic, 1,144 were suffering from loathsome or dangerous contagious diseases, 9,890 were likely to become a public charge, 1,746 were contract laborers, 244 were assisted allens and 171 were coming for larmoral purposs. Many people see in the fact that there is little reduction in the numbers of the mentality, physically and morally unit who are attempting to enter this country an indication of what may be expected in the near future. At the end of the war Europe will try to keep its strong, its ablebodied and its healthy individuals, while enormous financial burdens will probably induce a marked tendency toward emigration, actively encouraged perhaps, of those who are apt to become a burden on the state. Such problems as far as possible will be shifted to other shoulders through a process of emigration. Only stringent regulations on the part of the American government and extraordinary efficiency in its immigration service will prevent such an unloading of the unit upon the shoulders of Uncle Sam. NEW ORLEANS IS RAT PROOF. Not a Case of Plague In City Since Oct. 4—Work Continues. Washington. "More than half of the approximately 70,000 buildings in New Orleans have been made rat proof; there has not been a case of plague there since Oct. 4 last, and it will not be long before New Orleans will be one of the most rat proof cities in the world," announced Dr. W. C. Rucker, assistant surgeon general of the public health service. Dr. Rucker has charge of the eradication of the plague. Reports show that 318,000 rats have been caught by the health authorities in New Orleans since the anti-plague campaign began last autumn, and all of them have been subjected to bacteriological examination. "All the rats caught have been identified as to species and sex," said Dr. Rucker. "The species plays an important part." JUDGE OUTLINE DUTY OF PARENTS Decidas Questions Askou Thousands of Novels. A NEW LAW IS LAID UU..... In Alienation Suit, Brought by Coach man Who Married Daughter of a Millionaire, Justice Hough of New York Says Love and Mammon Are In Any Way Associated—His Deed New York. - The action of Judge Charles M. Hough in the federal district court in refusing to allow the jury to consider the suit brought by Max Frederick Kleist against Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Breitung for $250,000, charging alienation of affections, is not of great interest in itself, but in announcing his decision Justice Hough has answered questions that have been asked in tens of thousands of novels and movie plays—he has stated the relations of parents to children who are married without parental consent. Max Kleist, the plaintiff, was once a coachman and gardener. Jullet, eighteen, is the daughter of the Breltungs. Mr. Breltung is many times a millionaire and an extensive miner and shipowner. Kleist worked for a family in Michigan whose home adjoined the Breltungs' summer place. Jullet became infatuated with the good looking coachman, obtained an introduction, married him without the knowledge of her parents, wrote many endearing love notes, finally tired of him and returned to her parents. After Kleist had been sent to one of Mr. Breltung's mines to make his way in the world he tired of the place. Be- [Image of a man with a mustache and glasses, wearing a suit and tie.] turning to New York, he attempted to regain his wife. His offers were sparred. Then followed his $250,000 suit charging alienation of affections. After hearing the evidence Justice Hough dismissed the suit and propounded what he said was a theory of law designed to cover such cases and to minimize the scandal and discourage the institution of "such sordid demands as have been here exhibited." He held that while parental authority may terminate with marriage, the parental relation continues and that no parent is bound at the peril of a successful suit for damages to approve of his child's marriage. "There is a duty to pursue this course because litigations like this have been happily almost unknown in the national courts, and no decisions of binding authority at present control the action of this tribunal. A plaintiff who in plain language sought pecuniary consolation from a wealthy father-in-law who refused to show by payments of money or the furnishing of business opportunity his appreciation of that plaintiff as a son-in-law would be out of court upon his own statement. "All suits such as this, whether promoted by or against the rich or the poor, rest on the same legal basis—namely, the alleged wrong of the defendants in depriving the plaintiff of the society, affection and services of a wife or the protection, support and affection of a husband, as the case may be. "But when the defendants are not strangers, but parents, the family relation, which antedated matrimony, greatly modifies the law and has produced a considerable number of opinions in all parts of the English speaking world not capable of reconciliation and furnishing help to almost any contention related to what are commonly called alienation suits." "The doctrines preferred by me and so far as I am concerned to be enforced are these: The parental authority may be admitted to terminate with the celebration of a lawful marriage by the child, and even parental power and influence (as distinguished from authority) must thereafter recognize the creation by marriage of a status protected and favored by laws quite as ancient as those enforcing the duties and responsibilities of children, fathers and mothers."

The Bee submits to the calm consideration of the citizens of Washington the present disorganized condition of the colored public schools in this city and asks the question, do they intend to quietly tolerate these conditions! Do recent events warrant longer tolerance? If so, why? Would the white schools or the white management of the white schools remain silent? What has become of the moral atmosphere of the colored pulpit in which so many thousands of colored parents is involved? Is this the moral lesson that is held up to these children that is to be promulgated? Why remain longer silent? Why not act at once and demand a change in our school administration before Congress acts? Is the present board of education derelict in its duty? If the head of the schools refuses to act why doesn't the board of education act! What an example these fifteen thousand school children have before them? Is it an example that is to be handed down to future generations? Is sentiment to control existing conditions or should duty prevail? If the school authorities fail to remove the impediments, who is to act? The Bee sees no reason why there is such a delay in remedying the evils that seem to exist. It is surprising to know that certain individuals have been approached and asked if they are favorable to present administration in the colored schools, as if they have a mortgage on their appointment. The judges of the supreme court will scrutinize every applicant, for the board of education, whether he is for or against the present school administration. It would be for the best interest of the schools if a few resignations were sent in, thus saving the appointing power the embarrassment to remove them. Prof. Montgomery seems to be in the lead for the position of assistant superintendent of schools. He seems to be the popular idol of the teachers and the people. Prof. L. M. Hershaw is an educator of wide experience. No better man could be found. He is a man of great executive ability and a man in whom the people have the most implicit confidence. Prof. Charles M. Thomas is a man of the highest integrity and ability. He would make an ideal superintendent of the colored schools. Prof. James Walker, one of the supervising principals, is also mentioned. He would not only make a first-class superintendent, but he would be a great help to the present superintendent. Dr. Thurston has arrived to the point where he must act and act quickly. It is unfortunate but those members of the board of education who are supporting the present colored school administration are becoming unpopular with the masses and they unintentionally effect the colored schools. They may believe that they are right, but, if they would do a little personal investigation they would be convinced that a change in the present administration of the public schools was an absolute necessity. Let the change come, and at once. The judges of the supreme court will not be influenced by the representations made to them by certain preachers. There are some preachers in this city who would recommend a measure if they thought that measure could serve them. Some preachers, as the court knows, will testify to anything. That was evidenced in a recent trial that took place in the police court some time ago. It must not be understood that there are no honest preachers. The honest will not testify to that of which he has no knowledge. There is a social clique in this city in conjunction with certain Negro college professors who look through one eye glass. Such Negroes are menaces to our society. AN APARTMENT GIRL The communication that appears in this week's issue of The Bee, signed "A Friend to the Colored Race," should be a lesson to young girls who are compelled to work in hotels and apartment houses for a living. This communication should be a lesson to those who indulge in escapades and think that they are not watched. At the suggestion of the writer, the editor of The Bee phoned to the young lady in question and requested her to call. She is what the writer pictured her to be. She attended the Armstrong Manual Training School, but on account of the sickness of her father and his family of nine children, she being the oldest, 21 she stated, she was compelled to leave school and assist her father and mother. She further stated that the principal of the school was anxious for her to return and finish her schooling, but she could not. The Bee found the young lady to be one of the most refined it has ever met and if she had the assistance and the guidance of a good tutor, she would be a valuable acquisition to the race There are no avenues opened to our young girls who graduate from our schools. There are today some of the fairest jewels in the colored race, that must be hewers of wood and carriers of water to maintain their honor and integrity. If there was more race pride among the 100,000-colored people in this community our young colored girls would be more independent. Now as to the lady in question, she has a strong personality, far superior to those whose environments have been superior to hers, but her characteristics will surpass her alleged intellectual superiors. The most unfortunate thing is, the young lady, it is true, is everything stated by the writer; she knows nothing about business. What she should have learned while at the Armstrong Manual Training School was something practical, such as bookkeeping, typewriting, business correspondence and how to conduct a business. Our Armstrong Manual Training School doesn't teach what will benefit the pupil. Now, suppose the young lady in question had been taught a thorough business education, what a benefit it would have been to her today. We have no up-to-date business high school. Since the removal of Mr. Murray our business high school has been on the downward grade. It is a shame that such conditions exist. This young lady must have impressed the writer who signs herself, "A Friend of the Colored Race." To talk to the young lady you could not help from being impressed. Her conduct and department fully demonstrated that our boys and girls want a chance in life and nothing more. Hundreds of young girls and boys are compelled to leave the city every summer to earn sufficient funds to enable them to go through school during winter, but the high fliers are permitted to parade the streets in jolly escapades and defy the world to call them in question. The conduct of this young lady in the apartment in which she is employed should be an example for others. WILL THEY DEMAND IT? WILL THEY DEMAND IT? Mr. Bruce and his school companions in the recent automobile wreck will no doubt demand an investigation. Some of his friends have made it imperative for him to demand an investigation. If there is nothing to hide, he will undoubtedly request the board of education to give him a public investigation which will put at rest the many conflicting rumors and statements that have been circulated concerning the recent accident in which he and his companions were injured. It is not for The Bee to try the case through its columns; it is for the board of education to institute an investigation and forever put at rest these many conflicting published statements. The Bee still maintains its position of patience. It will do no one an injury and neither will it publish the different conflicting stories. It is up to the superintendent of schools and the board of education. If the information of The Bee is correct, there are persons willing and ready to testify either for or against the assistant superintendent. Certainly none of the interested parties fear an investigation. Why should they! Mr. Bruce is the assistant superintendent of schools and one of the female occupants of his car is a teacher in our colored Normal school and from one of the leading families in the city. If what the private secretary to Mr. Bruce stated is correct, why should a public investigation not be demanded! Every person is innocent of an offense until he is found guilty. In the eyes of the law, Mr. Bruce and all of his companions are innocent of an offense until the contrary is established beyond all reasonable doubt. The Bee believes that he will ask for an investigation or resign. If such an investigation is not held, then it is time for the people to act and not until then. The changing of the record in the Normal school will no doubt cut an important figure in the investigation. No explanation has been given as yet why the record was changed. No published explanation has yet been given where the parties went to in Maryland, and why. The people are waiting anxiously to hear some explanation, which no doubt will be forthcoming. The Bee will give all parties concerned sufficient time to give their side of this unfortunate accident. It is claimed that The Bee disappointed its readers last week. Why should anyone be disappointed? Should an injured victim be struck when he is down? This would verify what has been sworn to by its victim. It shall not be said that the editor of The Bee is "relentless" to its fallen foes. That would be unfair. A good man is entitled to mercy and consideration. A bad man has no mercy to an injured victim. The females who were injured are not in a condition to explain. If the facts that have been gathered warrants their suspension, let the affair remain in "status quo" until the school authorities are ready to act. The Bee never gets tired waiting. LE DROIT PARK There are nine stores conducted by white merchants and two by colored men in LeDroit Park, with an entire colored population with but one or two exceptions. The white stores are liberally supported by the colored residents of this park while the two colored stores, with the same amount of good, fresh and up-to-date merchandise, get a little of the colored patronage in comparison with the large colored population. The grocery store of Mr. Swan at the corner of Fourth and V streets northwest, Le Droit Park, is no doubt the best conducted colored grocery store in the city. An inspection of Mr. Swan's store and his goods will convince the colored population of the park that they should show more race pride. These stores conducted by the white merchants see to it that the business they want done is by their own race, while they depend entirely upon the colored population in the park for support. It is about time for the colored people to see that they support their own enterprises and these conducted by white people who are friendly to us. Mr. Swan is a gentleman and his store contains everything that the market possesses. Inspect this store once and The Bee ventures the assertion that they will continue to go to this place. When you go to Mr. Swan's say that you read this editorial in The Bee and believing as you do in race pride, you have decided to patronize him. TEACHERS COLLEGE TEACHERS COLLEGE. There is one man that has made good as an educator. When Prof. L. B. Moore of Howard University assumed charge of the Teachers' College he had an up-hill road to travel. He has made good and today the Teachers' College of Howard University under his supervision is one of the best departments in the Howard University- Prof. Syphax is another teacher who has made good with his department. Both of these educators are great acquisitions to Howard University. There is one thing about Prof. Moore, no graduate from his college is ever idle. He sees that his graduates get employment somewhere. Such a man as he is a benefit to any institution. The Bee will have more to say about these two progressive educators later on. DR. THURSTON'S DUTY DR. THURSTON'S DUTY. It is the duty of Dr. Thurston since it is reported that the assistant superintendent of schools, Mr. Bruce, returned to his office Tuesday morning, to suspend him, his secretary, and the lady teacher until this entire wreck is fully investigated by an impartial committee of the board of education or by the entire board with open doors. Let there be no star chamber proceedings. Let the public be admitted to the investigation, as innocent people have nothing to fear. Let all parties concerned have a fair and impartial trial. The interested parties are entitled to a hearing and the public is entitled to know all the facts. THE BEE IN DEMAND So great was the demand for the Bee last week that the management has sold out the entire edition, although several thousand extra copies were printed, and having been unable to accommodate the demand that was made, the management has decided to reproduce certain articles, with additional new matter, for the benefit of those who could not obtain last week's edition. Never in the history of this publication has there ever been such a demand, for the last six months, for The Bee. The people know that The Bee is a true exponent of their rights, regardless of persons or conditions, and it will continue to be the protector of the home and fireside. Subseribe now. Appointed a Delegate At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Associations of the United States of America, at New York, Miss Josephine Pinyon was appointed a delegate to the Blennial Convention to be held in Los Angeles, Calif., in May, 1915. Miss Pinyon is traveling secretary of the Colored Young Women's Christian Association, with offices in New York City. She is a graduate of the Washington, D. C., high school, and will be the only colored delegate at the Convention. Metropolitan A. M. E. Zlon Church, D St. S. W. Last Sunday was rally day at the above named church and too a great day. At 11 a. m., the pastor, Rev. R. A. Carroll, preached a stirring sermon from the subject, "Examine yourselves." He discussed it in a masterly way and made a lasting impression for good. At 3 o'clock a literary entertainment was given under the auspices of Mrs. Josephine Murray. The program was an excellent one. In the evening Bishop Alexander Walters preached an excellent sermon, subject, "Victory." Fourteen persons were confirmed in the church by the Bishop. A large crowd greeted him. METROPOLITAN CHURCH S. W. A very classy musical and literary was held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zlon church, D street, between Second and Third southwest, Sunday, May 2, under the direction or Mrs. Josephine Murray. The features were a very appropriate and inspiring address by Miss T. J. Smith, principal of Birney School, and one of those fiery, eloquent addresses by Mr. Neval Thomas, M street high school. Others contributed liberally with various forms of talent. Mr. C. W. Adams presided. Program. March. organist. Irrigation, Miss' Latha Welle. Instrumental solo, Miss Gladys Wilkinson. Selection, quartett, Messrs. Coster Jackson, M. Taylor and L. Taylor.

Carroll who has been such a success at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church has been retired. There has never been a pastor at this church who has done more work and who has been any more popular than he is. Rev. Carroll is an up-to-date preacher and the work that has been done since he has been at this popular church has added greatly to the success and improvement of the community. Rev. Carroll will preach Sunday morning and Rev J. T. Miller, D. D., will preach in the evening. LOVE AND BEAUTY. By Rev. L. C. Moore. Love is the key that fits the lock That opens the door of affection. It sprinkles the seed of its stock, That springs up to ripe perfection. Love breaks down the strongest wall, Ties the knot that binds the true, And answers every pleasant call, Becomes one where there were two. Then, beautiful are things we do, They are not the things we wear. We cannot when the journey's through Take the trash with us up there. So beautiful is the helping hand Extended with kindly smiles. The stubborn heart will surely bend, And forget the pride and styles. The beautiful are the shining stars, That light up the darkest path, Diadems of peace and sunlight's their's, That, extend the hand of love, not wrath. But beautiful let us try to be Not like the things we mortals buy, And flash the crowded streets to see. The stuff that's junk when we die. AN EXAMPLE. A Noble Defence of an Apartment Girl.—What An Admirer of The Bee Saw and Heard.—Stralightened Hair and What You Make Yourself. Editor of The Bee: I have only been in this city a few months and the other day I visited a shoe shine parlor; while waiting for the boy to shine my shoes, my eyes spied the prominent colored paper, [Portrait of a man in formal attire, with a mustache and a high-collared shirt and tie. The background is black with a white border. No text or additional details are present.] EX-PRESIDENT WM. HOWARD TAFT, Who addressed the students of Hampton Institute. See page 2. The Bee. I purchased this paper because I am interested In the welfare of this race. One particular paragraph I noticed was "Straightened Hair." Now I am a resident of the located town and the are at least twenty-five colored girls who work here and I don't think you will find more than two whose heads are not baked in lard. I have noticed particularly a young girl I think worthy of mentioning; she is in . I never saw a more genteel colored girl in all my life; she is particularly pretty, tall, slender, light brown skin, and extremely neat and clean. She comes in every morning, speaks politely to everyone but does not stop for conversation, gets on the elevator, passes a few pleasant remarks to the elevator boy, enters her apartment and no more is seen of her until she departs for her home at night. What she does nobody knows. Little does she think anyone is watching her. I overheard her talking to one of the girls in the building the other night; as I did not think this girl a fit companion for her, I decided to listen to the conversation, and of all the lectures on how "girls should act around apartment houses." this girl put up. Really I wanted to compliment her for she has a splendid education and from her actions she must have come from a good family. Her name is . I don't know her first name. I only know this much by hearing the elevator boy speak to her. I think you would do a great act of charity and you will be greatly rewarded in the next world, if not in this one, by getting this girl something to do other than work here for she deserves it. I would advise you to write to her and have her call at your office and see for yourself the kind of a girl she is. I hope you will take this matter up at once, and I think the race as a whole will profit if enough of this letter is published in the next issue of The Bee so the people can see how some girls can do, and others may follow her example. I don't care to make my name public. I only want to say I have decided to subscribe yearly for your paper. After you have had an interview with this girl kindly publish it and I will contribute to your funds freely. Respectfully yours, A Friend to the Colored Race. THE HAIR DRESSERS CIRCLE.

One-third of the audience was white citizens. Dr. Norman is one of the most eloquent preachers in the colored race and being a native North Carolinian made his reception that much greater. Exercises were held throughout the week. Dr. James E. Shepard, the president, has the confidence and respect of the best people white and colored, in the state. He will leave for the north Saturday. OUT FOR DELEGATES. Williston and Macfarland Candidates for Delegates in 1916. Rumor has it that Ed. Williston and ex-Commissioner Henry Macfarland will be candidates for delegates in 1916 to the Republican National Convention from this city. There will be at least a dozen candidates by the time the next National Republican Committee meets in this city in December. These announcements are good news to the local politicians who carry their districts in their vest pockets. Times have been hard since the European war and nothing is better to the local statesmen than preparations for the political contests. NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS.

Also many new pieces were played by the band such as "When the Twilight Comes to Kiss the Rose Good Night," and "Twilight Echoes." The committee spared neither pales nor expense to make this entertainment a success, and they did not fall short. A social dance followed. The dancing from eleven to two was of the very latest.

JENKINS—FOX NUPTIALS Miss Dora Elizabeth Fox and Mr. Ervin Nathaniel Jenkins were united in the holy bonds of matrimony on the last day of March at 11:30 a.m. at St. James Baptist church, by the Rev. E. D. Tyler. Miss Fox's wedding was the prettiest that has occurred at St. James church. The church was decorated in running pine and other green trimmings, touched here and there with butter cups and orange blossoms. Mrs. Ida Thompson played the wedding march. The bride wore white volle over cream colored satin, and a long veil caught up with orange blossoms, carying a large bunch of carnations; leaning on her father's arm she was met at the altar by the groom. Miss Julia Fox, sister of the bride, and Miss Agnes E. Brown were maids of honor. Mr. Marshall Alexander and Mr. Clifton D. Weaver were the groomsmen. Mr. John Botts, usher. Both maids were dressed very much in keeping with the bride, each carrying a bunch of lilies. The church was crowded to the door. One side was occupied by white friends. The bride was married under a big bell of white roses and touch-me-nots. Just as the ceremony was finished the organ pealed forth "Here Comes the Bride." The newly weds were showered with rice from every side, carriages a mile long following the happy pair. Miss Fox was twenty-one her last birthday and was a very popular girl in her community. She was the organist of St. James church and a great Sunday school worker. Both old and young did not fall in showing their appreciation. She received more than a hundred and fifty presents and a good sum of money. Mrs. Bowman, a white friend, gave the wedding cake. Mr. anr Mrs. Bowman did not spare expense or trouble in sending off their daughter. Everything was at its best. The table was beautifully decorated with a white bell over the center with white- satin ribbon running across, forming a big bow at each corner. The guests were too numerous to name, but among those present from a distance was an aunt, Mrs. V. R. Welch of New York, her cousin, Mrs. S. A. Tucker of Alexandria, Miss Emma Alexander of Washington, Miss Mariam Jenkins of Washington and many others. FALLS CHURGH NOTES.

Church, Baltimore, Md., Bishop Earl Cranston, D.D., LL. D., appointed to the church at Alexandria, Va., Roberts Chapel, the Rev. J. W. Jackson, who took charge on Sunday morning April 25th. Rev. Jackson's last charge was at Wheeling, W. Va. He came to us very highly recommended and is one of the most scholarly men of the church. He graduated as Master of Arts from the New Orleans University, as Bachelor of Sacred Theology from the Boston University and then took a Post Graudate course at the Berlin University, Berlin, Germany. Rev. Jackson is already a favorite in the community. The officers of the church expect a most prosperous year under his administration. Mrs. Mary Berry is very much improved. Mr. Shadrach Jackson is ill at his home on S. Columbus street. The Arkansas Club of Alfred Street Baptist Church is arranging for a garden party at the residence of Miss Mary F. Brooks, Friday June 4. Mr. Herbert Dogans was in the city Sunday. The second song service of the spring series will be rendered by the choir of Roberts Chapel tomorrow evening. Mr. Edward Holmes was in the city Wednesday. MRS. EMMA CHEEK. Reported Marriage a Falsehood.—A Malicious Story Circulated. Mrs. Emma Cheek, wife of the late Frank Cheek, of this city, who was reported married in Philadelphia, Pa., to Mr. David M. Turner, writes to The Bee denying the false and malicious report, which was circulated, as she says, by some evil designed person well known to her. Mrs. Cheek was appointed at Sleighton Farm as serving teacher, which took effect March 1 last, but on account of the work being so confining and her health poor, she resigned. She will be in the city May 30—Decoration Day—to decorate the grave of her late husband, after which she will leave for Atlantic City for the summer. At present she is in Philadelphia, employed by one of the greatest ladies' tailors in the country, Mrs. Idell H. Robinson, 812 S. 19th street. The report that Mrs. Cheek didn't furnish the expense for her husband's funeral is untrue. Mrs. Cheek was one of the most lovable wives that one would desire to meet. She will be in the city by the 30th of this month. Bethel Literary May 11, 1915. Experiences in Europe at the beginning of the war.

ZEPPELIN RAIDS TEST OF MACHINE New Dirigible Used In Recent Flights Over England. OFFICERS FEAR MORE BOMBS Motorcycle Said to Have Toured Path of Raider and Indicated Route With Brilliant Headlight—People Treat Bombs Lightly, but Officials Take Many Precautions. Lowestoft, England.—A tour by motorcycle over the path which the latest Zeppelin raider took across and around this section of England supports the opinion that he had no particular military object in view. The big dirigible first was sighted at Southwold soon after midnight and disappeared over the sea at Lowestoft about an hour later. It made an extended tour over a considerable area, dropping a large number of incendiary bombs and a few explosive bombs, but spending nearly half its time maneuvering in the neighborhood of Henham hall, a rambling old mansion. It is possible the pilot mistook the hall for some other building which he supposed to be of military importance. The dropping of the numerous incendiary bombs appears to have been done in an effort to set fire to barns or hay- TYPE OF BOND DRIpped ON ENGLAND BY ZEPPELINS. stacks, which would illumine the landscape and enable the pilot to locate some landmark by which he could get his bearings. Dispatches from Holland quote German naval officers as stating the Zeppelin used for this raid was a new one and the trip was in the nature of a test. Oversea navigation is an art only to be acquired after long experience, and it is possible the visit to this section had little significance except as training for pilots and men. The raider passed over Lowestoff two or three times, a calm night making maneuvering easy. A fire bomb which fell into a pile of timber did damage estimated at $25,000, and the two or three explosive bombs which found targets did slight damage. Elsewhere there was nothing to tell of the passage of the invader except some holes in the ground, some broken windows, doors torn from their hinges and a gossiping countryside. The broken windows and damaged doors were regarded lightly by the inhabitants, and their feelings were rather of astonishment and surprise than fear or dismay. "I've lived in this house twenty years, and nothing like this ever happened before." was a characteristic comment in the farming districts. There are many stories of miraculous escapes, but most of them have little basis in actual fact. Countryside gossip is also busily engaged in rounding up mysterious spies, and fully half the people in the visited district believe the hackneyed story of a mysterious motorcyclist who piloted the visitor by means of a headlight of peculiar brilliancy. While the civilians are generally inclined to treat lightly the result of the Zeppelin activity, military men in charge of the various defense projects incline to a more serious view. They are generally of the opinion that the raids are in the nature of reconnolissances and will be followed by more determined attempts shortly. Zeppellins have now reached the English coast several times, and with good luck and favorable weather they may be expected to return eventually in larger numbers and with more serious intentions. Allies Air Man's Brilliant Escape. Paris.—An air man of the allies was fired on near Ghent, but by flying up side down he made the Germans believe he had been killed, and they ceased shooting. Suddenly he resumed his upright position, dropped two bombs and escaped. Paris Idolizes Jacques Goujon. Paris.—Before he lost an arm Jacques Goujon, seventeen, killed two German sentinels, blew up two quick firers with bombs, was captured, escaped and carried to the French lines a German machine gun. He has been given a medal EPITAPH ON STEPPING STONE Found on Slab Just Turned Over After Fifty Years. Columbia, Conn.-Needling a flat stone for repairs that he was making, Edward Phillips pried up one which for over fifty years had been used as a stepping stone near the farmhouse back door. To his surprise he saw on the reverse side, in fairly plain letters, the inscription: In memory of Emily, daughter of Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Eunice Smith, who died April 15, 1814, aged six months and fifteen days. Rest, thou, sweet slumberer, in the peaceful grave: Short was thy life; forgotten soon shall be. Except the few who, drowned in sorrow's wave. With painful pleasure still remember thee. Nobody knows where the stone had been used or where it came from. Mr. Phillips' father bought the house over fifty years ago and the stone was at the back door then for a stepping stone. It is five feet long and nearly two feet wide. LAST SHOT OF CIVIL WAR. Woman Asked Police to See if Old Gun Was Loaded—It Was. New York—The "last shot of the civil war" was fired recently in a courtroom. It came from a gun which had been hanging for years on a wall in the home of the late Willard H. Hodgson. The musket had been carried in the war of the rebellion by Mr. Hodgson's father. Mr. Hodgson's sister was preparing to move to another house, but was afraid to take down the old musket. She called in Lieutenant Henry Brown of the Flatbush police station and turned the gun over to him. He took it around to the station house and showed it to Attendant Patrick O'Loughlin of the Flatbush court, which is in the same building. Standing in the corridor O'Loughlin pointed the gun at the floor and pulled the trigger. The old war musket was heavily loaded, and there was a report which startled the police reserves and the people in the courtroom. WANTS A NATIONAL BANK IN CANAL ZONE WANTS A NATIONAL BANK IN CANAL ZONE Helm of Kentucky Would Go After South American Trade. Washington. — Representative Helm of Kentucky has a plan to establish a national bank at Ancon, in the Panama canal zone, with branches elsewhere in that country. He would call it the Pan-American bank and give it a capital stock of $25,000,000, divided into shares of par value of $100 each. Just before congress adjourned Mr. Helm introduced a bill to incorporate the Pan-American bank, and when the Sixty-fourth congress convenes he will press it for action. "The commercial tieup resulting from the European war has convinced every thinking man in this country that foreign trade is a vital element in our domestic prosperity and that the continents of North and South America have greater identity of interests than was ever realized before," said Mr. Ihelm. "There never was a time when opportunity was knocking so loud at our doors. The commerce and business of a continent are within our grasp. The manufacturing enterprises in Central and South America are very limited, and it is to this matter that I wish the attention of the country could be directed. "Few, if any, of the republics to the south of us have the means of transporting or delivering their products to any other country. Under existing conditions nearly all the trade of Central and South America flows across the Atlantic. It ought to be flowing from North America to Central and South America. "About the only means of creating commercial and business relations are banking facilities, transportation, press bureau and mercantile agents. Under the federal reserve act a bank with $1,000,000 capital in the United States can establish a branch bank in any of the countries in Central or South America. This provision, in my opinion, does not meet the conditions. What we need is a bank of sufficient proportions and magnitude and importance and prestige to handle the business of the continent. "The government of the canal zone is going to be just as stable and steady as the government of the United States. If we establish a bank on the canal zone it becomes identified with the locality. Our government is behind it. That guarantees confidence and makes it a sure go. The governments to the south of us would be inspired with confidence in the institution." Girl Made a Lieutenant. Petrograd.—Army orders contain the promotion of a young woman, Alexandra Lagerev, to lieutenant, with sixteen other girls belonging to families of Don Cossacks. She has been fighting alongside male relatives since the beginning of the war. Eight of these have been killed, and Miss Lagerev was a prisoner, but she killed her guard and escaped and led a reconnoitering party which captured eighteen uhlans.

Another Demonstration is Threatened Unless Legislature Passes Law—Protest Use of Police at Theater—Scrutiny of Tickets Called "Invasion of Colored Man's Rights." Boston, Mass., April 26. More than 1000 negroes heard numerous speakers, white and colored, protest against "The Birth of a Nation" film last night in Zlon Methodist Church at Columbus avenue and Northampton street. Emery T. Morris of the National Independence Equal Rights League presided. The speakers were Rev. Samuel A. Brown, Rev. Aaron W. Puller, Sherwin L. Cook, a grandson of William Lloyd Garrison; Rev. Walter D. McLean of Cambridge, William D. Brigham, Rev. Herbert Johnson, exState Representative George T. Dally of Cambridge, and Rev. M. A. N. Shaw. The following resolution was read and adopted by the meeting: "To the Mayor and Police Commissioner of Boston: "Whereas, To act as ticket sellers or ticket takers for a theater is not the proper function of a policeman whose salaries are paid by public taxation; and, "Whereas, For a policeman to stop a citizen in the entrance lobby of a theater is illegal and for a policeman to demand to see and scrutinize the theater ticket and to check a citizen at the door is a violation of personal liberty; "Resolved, That we protest such action by the Boston police at the T.emont Theater during the run of "The Birth of a Nation," and that we demand a cessation of such invasion of public rights, and that any play which is deemed to make such police action necessary be stopped at once." Threaten Demonstration. "If no law is made which has teeth in it to stop this infamous thing," said Rev. Mr. Brown, "I believe that white and colored people of Boston will make such a demonstration as will make it unprofitable to exhibit the filth known as "The Birth of a Nation." Rev. Aaron W. Puller, who was arrested in Tremont Theater during the disturbance there early in the run of the film, counseled race thankfulness that such strong unifying force had come; race unity, race agitation and race sacrifice as the weapons available for fighting the issue. "Any play," he said, "which portrays every negro woman as a prostitute and every negro man as a rapist, is not fit to be shown in Torment, to say nothing of Boston." Sherwin L. Cook asked what would be the feelings of a white man in Liberia who saw displayed there a film which pictured only the truths of the white man's injustices to the negro—pictures of the slave ships, with white arms thrusting negroes back into the nolsonese hold—pictures showing black women denied not only their freedom but their right to chastity? "If such a picture were exhibited I would seek the highest officials I could find, and, although I would be in a racial minority, I have enough confidence in your race to believe that the film would be suppressed." "The color of the package," said William D. Brigham, "doesn't determine the contents. A brown wrapper may cover a diamond and a white one enclose sawdust or ink. White people and colored are essentially the same." Urges Use of Ballot. "You can't win by force," Mr. Johnson told the audience. "There are. I understand, some 18,000 or 20,000 colored voters. With the political parties as closely divided as they are, you have very nearly a balance of power if you will stand together and support the man, irrespective of color or creed, who stands by you." Various speakers expressed very high praise for Gov. Walsh, while Mayor Curley, the censor, the police commissioner, Judge Dowd and the city administration in general were sharply criticised. A large delegation of negroes will go this morning to the hearing before the judiciary committee to further a bill to make it possible to close the run of the photo-play. PARAGRAPHIC.

BEST CHRON SKE IT SCRDIORAL “Tha Wages of Sin Is Death” “The Soul That Sinneth, It Shall Die,” New York City, May 2—New York City ‘Temple had its usual crowded audience when Pastor Russell spoke here tonight. His sermon, a con- tnuation of his masterly discourse of last week, was based on the text, “There shall be no more death, nel- ther sorrow. nor (GSR RUSSEL) more death, nel- ther sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain” (Rev, 21:4) Ho sald in part: In our address of last week having, we believe, fairly stated the facts and claims of Christian Science and having pointed out the unreasonableness and inconsistency of some of Its statements, _We now procecd to Inquire whether Its| teachings are Scriptural. This is the questton of special interest to us, The others are merely incWental. We bold, and will endeavor to show, that Chris- tan Science is in conflict with the Holy Scriptures. The Bible distinctly avers that God created man perfect—in His own like- ness, morally, intellectually. It de- clares ‘that Adam's disobedience was sin, punishable, not with.eternal tor- ment, but with death—Romans 5:12; 623; 1 Corinthians 1521, 22; Genesis 2:17; 3:17-10; Ezekiel 18:4, 20. Christian Science denies these facts, declaring that there is no death and that whoever dies merely commits “mortal error.” It is surely against Christian Science, but confirmatory of the Bible teaching, that for more than aix thousand ycars mankind have been dying. Even “Mother Eddy,” who was expected not to commit “mortal error,” finally succumbed to it, What answer 4 can our Christian Science friends make fo this? We know of none, except that they might claim that the unreasona- Dleness of their position 1s no greater than the unreasonableness of any of the other sects and creeds. Logic nev- er seems to be taken tuto consideration in religious matters; the more illogical & statement, the more commendable the acceptance of it. If all disease ts error, "if death is the greatest of errors, and if the escaping of “mortal error”—death—brings the re- ward of everlasting life, how do our Obristian Science friends expect to get everlasting life, when at the last mo ment of their trial they make fallure? For thoxe of them who are at all logt- cal, thix must be another very perplex: ing problem. The Bible declares that whoever fails in one point {s guilty of all the Law. (Games 2:10.) Surely he who cominits “mortal error’ has failed in attaining the destderatum of Chris tian Sckence more than in all the other failures of his Hife tn combating all oth er things! If “mortal error” thus take: hold at the dying moment, what hop ‘would there be for such a person as re spects everlasting life, if_only to over comers will he granted that life aud 1 none of them overcome, but all suc cumb to “mortal error’? The corollary of the arzument would be bopeles: death for all mankiud.. In this conclu ston the Bible agrees, “The wazes o! sin 3s death"; sin, “mortal error,’ brings death—Eveklel 184; Genes: 217. Romans 623. What the Scriptures Say.

Th Bible loge ally shows that the Divin sentence of death (ut torment) mus be met efther by humanity or by a Re deemer, and tuferms us that for thi purpose Christ left His Heavenly glory that He might redeem Adam and hi race frum sin and its death penalty {So the Apostle writes by Inspiration * As by a man [Adam] came deatty, b; & mun also [Jesus] comes the resut Fectin of the dead.

The Bible is so much more reasor able and beautiful that, we bellev Christin Scientists, seelng its teact ings with clear vision, will gladly e: change an Inferior for a superior. Wh should they bind themselyes too clos: ty to “Mother Eddy," who according t her own theory falled in the highest d ‘wre, in committing “mortal error”. and hopelessly?

But those who deny that thero ts any death must of necessity deny that Jesus died, and Lence would be, whether Intentionally or otherwise, de- nying the Itansom-Price—the Redemp- tion-Price—given for the sins of the whole world. Cannot our Christian Sclence friends accept the Redeemer and His work, and by faith look forward to the Res- titution, which St. Peter declares will follow our Lord's Second Advent? (Acts |.8:19-21.) It will be forall mankind, and will last a thousand years, dealing with “every man iu his own onler"— bringing them back from the tomb and from all thelr weaknesses, whieh are the blemishes of sin—back to the per- fect image and likeness of God, as originally represented in Father Adam. Hoaling the Sick Not a Sin. Christian Selence healers necessarily acknowledge that there fsstckness when they speak of healing; for how could any one be healed who Is not diseased? We have already conceded that sick- ness, sorrow und pain would not be proper for any who are God's peo- ple; and that the prevalence of these Conditions attests the fact that God'i3 ‘dealing with the world as criminals under death sentence. The question arises, Is not the Church an exception to the world In this matter? We an- swer that those who believe in Jesus’ redemptive work and who fully conse- erate their lives, are counted as sepa- tate and distinct from the world, (John 17:16) Nevertheless, to the surprise of some, it ts not the Diving Plan that those received by God as séns should ‘ie released from sickness, imperfec: | tion or death. . | Take the case of Jesus, “Holy, barm- | less, undefiled, separate from, sinners,” | the Son of God by a full outward at- | testation (Matthew 2:17; John 1:14), '| He was weary, He hungered, He ago- | nized in the Garden.

Here they have added twenty-four words to the text, which.{n the oldest MSS, reads, “For there are three that bear record, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one [record].” As usual, all these spurious additions involve absurdities. In this text the absurdity would be to have Father, Son and Holy Spirit all bearing witness In Heaven to the an- gels that Jesus {s God’a Son, as though the angels would not know that fact! The God of the Bible.” Christian Scientists declare that the ten most potent words ever written were penned when Mrs. Eddy wrote the first ten words of her “Stfentific Statement of Belng"—“There fs no life, truth, Intelligence, nor substance in matter.” How does this agree with thelr teaching that God ts everywhere and in everything? It further declares that God Is a Principle, yet discusses Him as a per- sonality, quoting, “God Is of purer eyes than to bebold iniquity.” (Habakkuk 1:13.) On the strength of this misap- piled text Christian Scientists bulld the theory that God {s Ignorant of ev- erything impure or tojuridus; that to Him and*to them such things are not realitics. Nevertheless, the context rontradicts all their theorles by declar- fog, “Wherefore lookest Thou upon them that deal treacherousts, and hold- est Thy tongue when the wicked de- -Youreth the man that 1s more righteous | than he?"—Hab, 1:13; see also V. 3. Christian Science is in confilet with the Bible along another very important Une. According to Christian Science, “God Is a divine Principle, supreme tacorporeal Belng, Mind, Spirit, Soul, Life, Truth. Love. These are synony- mous terms. They refer to one abso- lute God, nud nothing else. The attrl- butes of God are justice, mercy, wis- dom, goodness, and so on. Principle is divine, one Life, one Truth, one Love, and this 1s God, omnipotent, om- nisclent and omnipresent.” * * * “Soul, or Spirit, signifies Delty, and nothing else. There fs no finite soul, or spirit.” But the God of the Bible {s a Per- son, a Spirit. Jesus sald, “God is a Spirit; and they that worship Him must worsblp Him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24) God fs a Person, or Soul: “If any man draw back, My Soul shall have no pleasure in him." (Hebrews 1:3; 10:38) Ie is “the God of all grace, the Father of mereles,” “from whom cometh every good and perfect gift." (2 Corinthlans 1:3; Jame: 1:17.) All these expressions tell us of Personality, as do those Scriptures which declare Ills Justice, Wisdom, Power and Love. ‘These qualitfes arc not properly attributable to a good principle; for principles of right anc wrong have no personality.

Jonathan's Love For David—A Model Friendship—its Test—tts Endurance. Ite Basie—Priendship Being Lost. Selfishness an Impending Danger. “A friend loreth at all times."—Prov, 11:1 ISTORY records noble examples of friendship; but supremo amongst these is the friend- ship, the lore, of Jonathan, Saul’s son and prospective helr of the throne of Israel, for David, his rival in the people's hearts and in the Divine Program. The unselfishness of his friendship denionstrates a nobillty of character possessed by some in those days, and quite in contrast with the Evolution theory, Jonathan's loving spirit stands out {n strong contrast with King Saul's Jealous spirit. Apparently Jonathan's fret meeting with David was after the latter’s victory over Goliath. Instead of thinking of David as a rival, who must be crushed, the noble Jonathan took off his own princely robe and gave St to David, together with his sword and his famous bow, “f Friend In Need, a Friend Indeed.” | Jonathan's friendship, love, was no! of tho effervescent kind. He did not Jove merely in word, but In deed anc 1{n trath. Ie loved his friend just the same when the king became Da- vid's enemy and sought bis life. The friendship which will not en- dore trial, which will make no sac- rifices, 13 not the Kind to be ap- proved or modeled after. Jonathan had love of the kind which fee Ye ; Y yt SM eS {shes His followers to have—the love which in honor prefers one another. This love doubuless stands pre-eminent above curthly love, especially because founded upon a religious basis. Be- cause Darid loved God and sought to be guided by Ils will, be conducted himself with wisdom; and because Jon- athan discerned this spirit of wisdom and righteousness, be loved David. In proportion as we understand the Bible and receive the spirit of the Truth, we shall apprectate and copy the best there Is of principle—whether of friendship or of duty to a monarch, to our family or toward God. There ‘are many Influences operating toward @ spirit of selfishness, avarice, Jeal- ousy; while the infuences for true friendship, true love—the best qualities of heart and Lead—are from the Lord. We noted tn a previous lesson how Jonathan acted as peacemaker between his father aud David. Today's lesson relates auother occasion when Jona- than acted the part of a true friend. Realizing that his life was in danger, David mentioned his fears to Jona- than. The latter was at a loss to be- Heve that. bls father would break bis word, yet was Impressed by David's attitude. The feast of the new moon was at hand; aud David was expected to sit at the royal table. In harmony with an nrrangement between the two friends, Jonathan was to find out defi- nitely bis father's intentions and to communicate them to David. ‘On the second day of, the feast the King askel for “the son of Jesse,” as though he hated the very name David. Jonathau replied that David bad gone to Bethlehem by his permission. Ap- ‘Parently the king had been foiled in his intention to kill David at this time, and he vented his wrath upon his son, whom really he greafly loved. In his anger he threw his javelin at Jona | than, probably not with the intention of strikinz him, but merely of venting his ferocious Jealousy. Jonathan's speech in return shows that be was thinking less of what he himself wa: | risking and more respecting the injus. tice bein dove his friend. It fs a beautiful friendship which ir | stress forgets self and thinks only 0! | the friend's Interests. As in contras | sith all human loves and friendsbips Wwe read of Jesus, “Greater love hath no ‘man than this, that a man lay down his Ife for his friends.” Nev: ertheless, in Jesus’ case it meant more than any earthly love or friendship; for “while we were yet sinners, Christ dled for us.” The Pi i ih Lao ynS ni} Ba Aa SHS ARG] I" ee eg Re CR that the Lord thus set an example ta all Christians, that they should lay down thelr lives for the brethren. This is Heavenly love, Divine friendship, of which Jonathdn’s love 1s a sample. “Ig It Not Beyond Thee?” ‘The next morning David, having re- turned, was to get Jonathan's judg- ment respecting the king’s sentiments. Jonathan was to go into the fleld near a great rock and there to give an agreed-upon signal, if David should flee. And so it was done. Jonathan then went over to the rock, behind which David hid. The two embraced, after the manner of the East, kissing each other goodby—true lovers, with a manly, noble love. ‘Here Jonathan indicated his falth in God's providence respecting David, and asked kim to make a covenant that whaterer should occur David would deal graciously with Jonathan and his family. Bible history shows us that David never- forgot the obligation which he thus undertook to be a friend to the family of Saul. 206: Berit: AtidsscusssssewscwwagesmyeaaesensetecaweseacssecdSe Do Castor OM. nesnseviaeeieisinnssinisinenneneenwsensnacsinavesvale 4 oz.
