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. XXXVI.NO. 15 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1915 LAYING THE CORNER STONE 'LAYING THE CORNERSTONE. Hundreds do Honor to a Great Church and a Great Man—Rev. Clair Triumphs—Prof. Weatherbee's Great Speech—Commissioner Brownlow Pays Honor to the Occasion—The Masons Looked Well. Old Asbury Church has a history. The great crowd that assembled at the corner of Eleventh and K streets northwest reminded the citizens of years gone by. September 5 and 6 were history-making days to Washington, D. C., for the corner of Eleventh and K streets were alive never before. Asbury M. E. Church, whose history is as wonderful and inspiring as that of our city, was the mecca of all. Sunday morning, ere the sun had hardly peeled the eastern sky, men, women and children were wending their way to this historic spot. Dame Nature did its best, and the early autumn breeses helped to thrill the hearts of those who were working so hard to make the occasion a success. The cement floor covering the basement THE NEW ASBURY M. E. CHURCH, 11th and K Streets N. W. groaned beneath the weight of chairs and benches to accommodate the people. The choir, under the direction of Prof. Robert W. Johnson, had been primed for singing, so the piano was there for their use. Lest the god of rain should spoil our plans, we provided a tent covering for the entire building. The American flag floated on the breeze as a constant reminder of our patriotism. As the hour of 9.30 having arrived, Supt. McLaurin conducted the opening services, and the S. S. was in session. At 10 o'clock Mr. Chas. P. Ford, Pres. of Missionary Society, conducted the following program: Sunday, September 5, 1915. 9.45 a.m.—The Sunday School— Opening exercises, Supt. S. L. McLaurin.

FORD, ESQ., Member of the Building Committee. "Tis now 11 a. m., and Rev. M. W. Clair, D. D., Ph. D., who has served this people and city so ably since 1902, now takes charge, and the cornerstone services are actually begun. Never before has there been a more impressive service. The choir was at its best, and Rev. Nathaniel M. Carroll, D. D., "the Grand Old Man," was presented and preached out of the fullness of his heart the cornerstone At 4.30 p. m., the Epworth League, under the direction of its president, Mr. Peter C. Glascoe, entertained a large audience with a splendid program. But not yet was the climax reached until the hour of 6 p. m., for this was the occasion for the twilight services in connection with the holy communion. What a scene; for nearly 600 partook of the holy communion. The spirit of the Christ was there, and one could almost hear the amens of those of our members who have gone into the great beyond. There were tears of sorrow mingled with tears of joy. So uplifting and gratifying were these services that hundreds lingered far into the night, and we were forced to press lanterns into service. Finally Dr. Clair pronounced the benediction, and we reluctantly went to our homes to dream of to-morrow. To-morrow (Sept. 3) having dawned many were on the ground by 10 a. m., and ere the committee had finished their work our seating capacity was taxed. At 1 p. m. the cornerstone laying services began. Upon the stand were seated many prominent ministers, laymen and distinguished persons. The following was the order: 1 p. m.—Coronestone laying; Rev W. A. C. Hughes, D. D., presiding, hymn 657; prayer, Rev D. W. Hays, D.D.; responsive reading, Psalm 132; the lesson, 1 Cor. 3:9-23; address, Rev S. M. Beane; music, the Band; address, the Hon. Louis Brownlow, Commissioner for the District of Columbia; the collection; concluding ceremonies; music by the Band. At 2 p. m., the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, F. A. A. M., of which M. W. Nelson E. Weatherless is grand master, arrived, having marched, escorted by the Knights Templars and by the music of a large band, from Nineteenth and L streets northwest. Words can not convey the grandeur of that picture for, garbed and be decked as they were, they resembled a victorious army returning home for dress parade. Bro. Richard Stewart, master architect, made the proclamation, and introduced Grand Master Weatherless, who, with the assistance DR. R. W. WM. H. JACKSON, Junior Grand Warden—The Man Who Prepared the Report for The Bee— A Brilliant Scholar. of his officers, laid the cornerstone in due and ancient form. This done, the grand master delivered, in his masterly way, the closing address. Total amount received for the two days was $1,285.91. One special feature of this occasion was the souvenir program, gotten up by the following committee: Rev. H. W. Clair, D. D., Ph. D., William H. Jackson, Phar. D., George R. Brown, Sylvester L. McLaurin, Charles P. Ford, William H. Johnson, Prince A. Beaman, Henry Jarvis, consisting of 24 pages, covered by an exquisite cover in selected colors; a complete statement of all services; cuts of the official board and pastor, district superintendent, bishop and masons. Dr. H. W. Jackson composed an ode to Asbury, which may be sound on the last page. What does it all mean? I tell you. It means that M. W. Clair and those associated with him are about a great work. It means that the things for which our fathers fought and prayed are coming to pass. It means that Rev. M. W. Clair's name should and will go down in the history of this country as a great benefactor and leader. It means, finally, the partial fulfillment "that Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God." W. H. J. . THE SCHOOL QUESTION. Mr. Waters Has Some Thoughts. To the Editor: From a far distant city there comes to me a letter dated, August 11, 1915, which, regardless of whether or not it be a document of any considerable weight, will nevertheless be read with a good deal of interest by those who manage to keep always within hailing distance of Washington's everlasting (if not also highly disreputable) "school situation."

INSTRUCTIONS WHAT TO DO TO MAKE CLAIM TO SHARE IN Sixty-Eight Million Dollars SUED FOR BY PERSONS WHO LABORED IN PRODUCTION OF COTTON DURING 1859 TO AND DURING THE CIVIL WAR PERIOD TO 1868. All persons who labored in the cotton fields of the south and aided in the production of cotton from years of 1859 to 1868, and who were forced to furnish this labor under involuntary system and coercion, and did not receive any compensation for such labor within the states known as the southern states of the United States, and are made claimants in the suit filed in the Supreme court of the District of Columbia on the 13th day of July, 1915, and, if any such persons have died since the periods mentioned above, then their heirs are made claimants: sixty eight million, seventy two thousand, three hundred eight dollars and ninety-nine cents were collected from the cotton raised within the limit of time given by the Secretary of Treasury within the period of 1862 to 1868, and the cotton from which the money was collected of course has been long since disposed of; but this money has been held by the Secretary of Treasury at Washington, under protest by way of judicial proceedings as to the constitutionality thereof. As the cotton has gone long since, and now that the claimants are free to make claim for their unpaid labor, this suit filed on the 13th day of July, 1915, is for benefit of persons who labored in raising, producing and preparing this raw cotton for shipment, and such claim for the benefit of such persons is directly and specifically made in that suit, asking that the sixty-eight million, seventy-two thousand, three hundred dollars and ninety-nine cents, now held by the Secretary of Treasury, be subjected to lien of the claimants in this suit, and all persons who have a similar interest in that suit, be declared a judgment lien. All persons who are entitled to claim as set out herein, wherever they may live, are claimants. They must send their names at once, giving their post office address, and $1.75 expense money to No. 449 Beal St., Memphis, Tenn., and they will be informed what time and where they will be called on for testimony of their case. Each claimant, according to the prayer in the Bill in Chancery, will be examined under oath by an officer of the court, possibly a Master of Chancery, and we must know who the parties are, and where to find them. This $1.75 must accompany your name and address, as tax for costs and expenses. Address your communications, to the above number, being headquarters.

Make no payments to any persons whomsoever, except he has a written authority from the chief counsel of record in this case as appears in the Supreme court of the District of Columbia. As the time is short within which we are to close our case, we must insist that all persons aid in giving general circulation of this information throughout the whole country. This is not any secret, nor private undertaking, but a suit for labor. This is not any part of, nor does this suit have any connection whatever with any previous old ex-slave pension movement. We have nothing to do with any such enterprise, know nothing of its merits or particulars thereof, and do not desire that any thing concerning it be placed in connection with this lawsuit. Remember the address of the headquarters of the claimants in this suit, is 449 Beal St., Memphis, Tenn. publish—because I do not want to—tells of having conversed with a traveler "recently arrived from Washington," who advised him of the illness of Asst. Supt. R. C. Bruce, and who informed him of having seen "some mention of Prof. F. L. Williams in connection with the assistant superintendency of the Washington schools." He then goes on to say: "This letter strikes me as such an absurdity, that I hasten to drop you a line. "If you men of Washington don't want a white man's elephant on your hands, you had better look elsewhere for an executive head for your schools. I trust I am unnecessarily exercised in this matter, and that Mr. Bruce will again be on the job in September; but should not such be the case, I warn you men to see to it that someone other than the above is appointed. Your school system would retrograde fifty years." In submitting the above, Mr. Editor, I wish to say that I do not know who "Prof. F. L. Williams" is. Indeed, if I ever heard of him before, I can not recall when it was. However, if he is anybody worth while, no doubt he has friends who will defend him. I wish to add, too, that while I freely confess a very keen admiration and a lofty regard for Asst. Supt. R. C. Bruce, when it comes to school matters in Washington or anywhere else, I am a partisan only on the side of the people. For the boys and girls whose future is so indissolubly bound up in the preservation of the highest efficiency in their schools, I stand ready and will ```markdown ``` Very truly, LAKE CLAIM TO SHARE IN SIXTY-FOR BY PERSONS WHO LABORED RING 1859 TO AND DURING THE cotton fields of the south and aided in 1859 to 1868, and who were forced by system and coercion, and did not labor within the states known as the land and are made claimants in the suit of Columbia on the 13th day of have died since the periods men- the claimants; sixty eight million, seventy dollars and ninety-nine cents were in the limit of time given by the Sec. of 1862 to 1868, and the cotton from verse has been long since disposed of; Secretary of Treasury at Washington, proceedings as to the constitutionality and now that the claimants are free of his suit filed on the 13th day of July, bored in raising, producing and pre-d such claim for the benefit of such in that suit, asking that the six-, three hundred dollars and ninety-of Treasury, be subjected to lien of persons who have a similar interest in them.

All persons desiring treatments or instructions in same will find Mrs. Clay congenial, cheerful, responding to all inquiries. Havin spent several months in "Poro" College in St. Louis, she is thorough informed and fully capable of imparting such knowledge. Thus I bring to the attention of your readers the letter as quoted above. Whether any one particular individual should hold a billet in the Washington school system is not aing to go to any legitimate length: matter of prime importance. What is of the very highest importance, however, is that NO MAN, no matter who he is, what he is, or where he comes from, should get into the system, even at the bottom, unless that man is one who can and will bring a full measure of genuine 14-K ability and efficiency to the service of the people of Washington. This is the prime issue; ALL OTHERS are wholly subordinate. Washington will not have forgotten, I fancy, what I brought to its attention last spring in connection with that miserable jelly-fish who, as Negro principal of the Branch Normal at Pine Bluff, Ark., who refused to move one peg in the face of overwhelming evidence to the effect that his immediate superior, a cheap white man, had repeatedly attempted to debauch one of the colored girl students at the school. To the everlasting credit, however, of men and women of honor and character, the cringing coward was thrust aside, the evidence in the case was placed before the Governor of Arkansas, and that courageous official, ignoring a whitewash report submitted by a so-called "investigating committee," struck such a blow as promised, at the last advices from Arkansas, to restore manhood and decency to the throne at the Branch Normal in Pine Bluff. In the light of these things, it seems to me that such matter as the above should be brought to the attention of the people. Whoever has any facts worth while should bring them forward. For in this way alone can the people be forewarned and take proper steps to defend themselves and their loved ones. Respectfully submitted, JAMES C. WATERS, Jr. Hyattsville, Md., Aug. 24, 1915. THE STAR OF ETHIOPIA Preparation for presentation of Dr. Du Bois' pageant entitled "The Star of Ethiopia," is proceeding smoothly and with speed. Dr. Du Bois represents the Horizon Guild, and is prepared to put about three thousand dollars into the presentation of the pageant. The people of the District of Columbia are expected to raise one thousand dollars, out of which to pay for the use of the Ball Park for three performances of the pageant at $200 a performance, to furnish an orchestra and brass band, and to furnish 1,000 actors to take part in the pageant. The actors, of course, will denote their services, except those who act as trainers of the great company. Guarantors of the local fund have already subscribed 90 of the 200 units of $5 each, into which the local fund is divided. By a vote of the guarantors who have already subscribed the local movement has been incorporated as the National Pageant and Dramatic Association. The incorporators are: L. M. Hershaw, R. H. Terrell, Carrie W. Clifford, Mary Church Terrell Ransom C. Edmonson, Andrew F. Hilyer, Addison N. Scurlock, John N. Goins, Arthur U. Craig, John R. Hawkins, Laura Bruce Glenn, Thomas Walker, Walter J. Singleton, Thomas A. Johnson and Alonzo H. Brown. By an agreement entered into between Dr. Du Bois, representing the Horizon, Guild, and the National Pageant and Dramatic Association, it is to turn him but one fourth of the funds to defray the expenses of presenting the pageant, it shall receive two-thirds of the surplus, if there be a surplus, resulting from admission fees and it is further provided that fund raised locally shall be reimbursed first in the payment of expenses. On page 5 of THE BEE will be found an advertisement of the pageant calling for actors. The call is to all of the people, and all the people are expected to support the pageant in one way or another. The pageant is to be a concrete representation of the history of the Negro from his birth in Africa to his present condition in the Western Hemisphere and is intended to commemorate the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery. The remaining units of five dollars each, of the local fund, it is believed, will be subscribed during the coming week. The chances that those who subscribe to this guarantee fund will lose their money are practically nil, in view of the terms of the contract. It is confidently expected to return to each guarantor not only the amount he puts in, but also a bonus. BISHOP CONNER Charged With White Slavery Offence. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 3.—Following upon the demonstration made by the friends of the Rev. W. T. Vernon against Bishop J. M. Conner, holding him responsible for Vernon's removal from the presidency of Campbell College, comes the announcement by Robert S. Phifer, special agent of the Department of Justice, that the evidence is being sought by which an affidavit may be drawn charging the bishop with an offense under the white slavery law. The girl in the case is Beatrice Chiles, a young negro woman, was placed under arrest Sunday night, July 25, after Bishop Conner had arrived in town. It is stated positively by Special Agent Phifer that the white slavery charges has no connection with the school trouble, as he had the investigation of Bishop Connor's relations with the Chiles girl under way before the Vernon matter came up. The prominent citizens connected with the indignation meeting at which the bishop was burned in effigy, declare most emphatically that they have nothing to do with the white slavery charge. HOTEL NEWS. Mr. James W. Gray, with a crew of men, left here Tuesday, the 7th, for Hot Springs, Va., for the Fall season at the old homestead. While one of our boys were visiting New York, on his way home he had the extreme pleasure of studying why our colored brother doesn't prosper in business. All of the colored proprietors of cafes charge, in some cases, double for these goods, while the white cafe proprietors who cater to colored trade give you better valuation for your money, both in quantity and quality. This is only a word to our friend who wishes the patronage of his colored brother. THECOLOREDSUNDAY THE COLORED BILLY SUNDAY— THE GREAT PREACHER WILL PREACH.

Strolling down the Strand the other day—and you know the "Strand" is the Londonized name for Fourteenth street, I met a bunch of fellows just fresh from Bob Allen's emporium. They were in an awful discussion—most Washingtonians are—about the Haiti situation. One fellow with a five dollar hat what sat gracefully on a fifty cent head, said that Doc Washington was annually running into a buz saw; that his advocacy of a protectorate for Haiti was just like a fellow that bows and scrapes to white folks. Well, hear me, that started an argument. There were one or two Washingtonites in the bunch, and one of these, a cross between a mabogany red and a Chinese yellow, said that Doc Washington was just all right; that a country what spent one hundred years doing nothing but fighting each other just naturally ought to have a wet nurse; and as this country was the nearest to it, this was the country what ought to give it the nipple, and feed it until it could stand alone. When he got through, a Georgia yellar bud, and it wont Lafte Hershaw either, remarked that he had no use for Booker now and noways, cause Booker was always playing into a white man's hands; because Booker wanted this administration, what had no use for Ham, to take charge of them there blacks down in Haiti. Well, what he said about your Uncle Booker was merely scandalous. He just hauled him back and forth over the coals, and thrown him up and thrown him down, down, and then stepped upon him. When he got through, a smoked herring what calls Mississippi his home state, stopped abruptly, and said kinder low like and impressive: "Say, nigger, I've known you ever since I've been in Washington, which has been about foeen years, and I never knew you to have more than fifty cents after pay day in all that time, and here you are discussing and cussing Booker T. Washington cause he says there fighting Haitians what aint done nothing but fight ever since L'Overtures time, ought be given a few ideal about work and less time for rapid changing of presidents. "Now, Booker" says this melodious windjammer, knows that no colored man what cant work is worth one loan halleluja in a poker game when a jackpot is in site, and every fellow is making an attempt to recover his losses. They meet Haitians are a bunch of loafers, grafters, and sking-game men, and Booker is right; they ought to go to work, and this country ought to adopt a protectorate-over them. I roamed along after the bunch as far as Barry's, and finally, when I saw the argument was getting in close proximity to the fight stage, I just naturally ducked the bunch and hit the trail for home. But it amused me to hear these fellows arguing about Booker. There was one or two that thought Booker was a four-leaf clover, sort of Jasper Bruce, and one or two in the crowd, half-nelsons to DuBols, just naturally put Booker down for a twist. How, I am, don't think this here Woody Wilson administrations is just the administration to deal with Haiti in establishment, protectorate, yet them there teekewol folks down there sure have got pretty near the limit of endurance. --- Say, fellow, don't you know there president down there's just foolhardy order that 165, incarcerated natives be murdered? And don't you know that the people then rouse up in arms, killed and burned the president just as they do down in Georgia, Texas, and Alabama? Well, if you don't know it, I'm telling you it now, and it's the gospel truth. Now, when a bunch of black and tans get to going the Georgia and Texas route, it's about time that somebody establish a protectorate over them for a few hours at least. Booker never explains, and he never takes back, and the old owl aint so blind as you take him to be. Bet you anywhere from steen to umpsteen dollar against five cents worth of promise talk that that recommendation of your Uncle Booker's for a protectorate for Haiti will bring Tuskegee in at least an hundred thousand dollars in the next two years from white folks, and that Haiti will begin to send students to Tuskegee to learn how to work. You know, Booker believes in planting your feet down in the soil, even if he does spend most of his time in "Little Old New York." Talking with Cobb the other day, after he got a remainder that his pay had been stopped, I was impressed with the fact that Jim is getting back some of that independent, daring, and don't care sort of a style he had when the bunch of Bookerites were here to rule the roost. Now, you know I like Jim, cause he is a pretty fair daub after all, baring his desire to play fancy colors against irracible brown and black, and I just naturally wouldn't say nothing to hurt him. But you all know that while Jeems was holding down that $2,000 job he was mightily quiet and lamilike. Whenever there was a discussion about Woody's segregation policy, if Jeems happened to be near he either kept his mouth closed or cut loose from the crowd. When the Republicans were in power, Jeems was always up on the ramparts hollering, "God save the queen, and look out for us niggers," but when Woody got in, and he saw his fellow officeholders being dropped by one and two by two, why Jimmie just hit the trail of self-preservation, and I aint blaming him a bit, for after all a fellow is his own best friend. Now, Doc Sum Wormley, and let me tell you he is someomorale of a fellow, told me that when a fellow depends just on friends alone, and don't do no looking out for himself, he is sure to run up against a brace game, and get a full hand flashed in his face when he's laying back depending on three little worn out deuces. Now, Jim Cobb just looked after hiself, and forgot them what look after him. That's permissible these days. What's a treaty but a scrap of paper? Germany has done handed you this dope. She just run over Belgium as if it was a playground, even though she had signed a treaty not to transport any troops over the territory belonging to the country what give the "nigger" hell down in the Congo States of Africa. But what's the use of prolonging this discussion. Jim is out now just like the rest of the bunch, and while he didn't have much sympathy for them when they hit the gullotin trail, he's got a lot of sympathy for them now. --- Speaking about the bunch what use to parade around here with fat salaries attached to them, don't you know there is a little rumor that is current around here and around the fringes of New York's inner circles what I learned when down there last month, that one of them there ex-officeholders, or "former" office-holders, as John Dancy prefers to be called, left this here burg and aint been heard from since directly, but they are laying bets over in New York that he's been going the cascaret route—"working while you sleep," and news comes on now that a big political deal is on with this "former" right in the midst of the game. You just don't know what is going on until you leave town. We hear a lot of talk around here, but the talk aint got no terminals. Now, when you blow into New York some state towns, you hear a line of talk what has some beginning and some ending. Now, there is another fellow what left here, and hid himself in the West, who may turn up here later on, and that's Fred McCracken. Fred floated out to St. Paul on a Democratic victory wave, and since he's been out there, according to the dope I get, he's been busy attending to his own knitting, and incidentally paving the way for his triumphant return to this town of rumors, automobile rides to Relay, Md., etc., etc. Now, speaking about Relay, Md., reminds me that it is on the eve of the opening of school, and from what I learn our dear, lamented, esteemed—(ah, quit your laughing) assistant superintendent is still unable to be active. Now, while I'm for a new superintendent, or rather an assistant, to take charge of the Darktown schools, still I am just as anxious that Little Lord Fauntleroy speedily recover. I'm human still, and don't want to see anybody suffer bodily pain, so here's hoping, with all his faults, Little Lord aFuntelroy is quickly restored to full and complete health. And as sure as you are born, I'm in earnest. Cobb will tell you that, cause he's talked with me concerning it; but he didn't know he was talkin' with the Sage. SPECIAL REDUCTION. SPECIAL REDUCTION.

Reported by the National Negro Business League. .A Thought for the Week. Jack Johnson and Advertising.—A writer in the Magazine Advertising and Selling says: "Some time ago I heard Harry Ford, when he was with the Chalmers Ford Company, give an illustration of the difference between advertising and salesmanship. One day Jack Johnson was in Mr. Ford's office and said: 'What is all this stuff you have around on the walls here. Mr. Ford?' The answer was: That is advertising,' Jack asked then, 'What is advertising?' Mr. Ford explained that advertising was for the purpose of helping to sell Chalmers cars. 'But I don't see why you need that when you have so many salesmen.' Mr. Ford's answer was: 'There are two things necessary to sell cars, and I will explain them in your own language. You have two arms. You use your left arm to feint and to jab the other fellow—to get his interest—to get him aroused. That is advertising. But you use your strong right arm to deliver the blow that knocks him out. That is salesmanship. Hotel Dale at Cape May, New Jersey, has enjoyed one of its most successful seasons this year. Mr. E. W. Dale, the proprietor, attributes his success to the widespread advertising in the Negro newspapers. J. B. Coleman is the owner and proprietor of a successful steam laundry in Columbia, Missouri. He is said to employ fifteen persons regularly. Anderson & Company, bankers, of Jacksonville, Florida, recently conducted a "Tag-Day" to increase the number of deposits at their bank. The plan was a success, and nearly one thousands new accounts were opened. Mr. Charles H. Anderson, the cashier, is also treasurer of the National Negro Business League. James R. Lowe, who is engaged in the general hauling business at Pasadena, California, was recently given a contract by the city for removing all the rubbish from the streets. Plans are said to be perfected for the building of a $100,000 hotel in Indianapolis, to be owned and operated by colored men. Isaac Fisher, the noted Tuskegee writer and essayist, has recently written a moving picture drama entitled, "When True Love Wins." The production will be made by colored actors. The Hamilton-Brown shoe factory at Columbia, Mo., is said to employ a number of colored people in responsible, well-paying positions. SPECIAL REDUCTION.

NATION'S BIG MEN TO PLAN DEFENSE Aerial Torpedo Boat Now Under Discussion—Idea Patented by Rear Admiral Fiske Twenty Years Ago—Believed Device Can Be Perfected For Use In Landlocked Harbors. Washington.—The first great gathering in the United States to consider the national defense question will be held in Washington from Oct. 4 to 7. It will take place immediately following the Grand Army of the Republic encampment here and will be under the auspices of the National Defense league. It is planned that the gathering shall be one of representative citizens from every state of the Union, who will consider what measures must be taken by congress to increase, the fighting arms of the country. The conference will be presided over by Representative Kahn of California, chairman, and Senator Robert F. Broussard of Louisiana, vice chairman of the National Defense league. An invention which was perfected by Rear Admiral Fiske almost twenty years ago, when he was a lieutenant commander in the navy, is being considered by naval designers as a possible basis for the construction of aerial torpedo boats which might inflict tremendous damage on an enemy's battleships. The Fiske invention provides for the construction of a flying vessel which would carry a torpedo weighing one ton. One of the principal values of [Image of a man in a military uniform with a cap and a badge. The background is black. The man's face is visible, and he has a mustache.] such a flying machine, in the opinion of naval experts, would be its ability to attack landlocked fleets. Swooping down at a distance of five sea miles from the object of attack, the air craft would drop its deadly passenger into the water just as it would have been launched from a destroyer. The impact sets the torpedo's machinery in motion, and it is off at a speed of more than forty knots an hour toward the enemy ship. Aeroplanes to carry a ton of dead weight have been perfected by several countries. Russia is said to have several that will carry twenty men, and the new British air craft probably will have similar capacity. It is said to be possible that a type of radio controlled torpedo might be employed, one aeroplane carrying a torpedo and another the wireless machinery to control the missile's flight through the water. It is pointed out that Admiral Fiske obtained patents on such a method of control in 1900, when he was a lieutenant commander in the navy. They are said to be so broad and farreaching as to underlie all subsequent developments of radio controlled devices. "My invention," says the application filed by Lieutenant Commander Fiske, "is especially applicable to automobile torpedoes and makes it possible to control the movements of a torpedo with great certainty from a shore, from the deck of a ship or a lake." Since the aerial torpedo plan was advanced reports have come that German engineers were at work on a similar scheme. It is planned to drop from aeroplanes a torpedo that can be guided by radio impulses during its fall and send it with absolute certainty to its mark. Further tests of the Isham high explosive fuse for use in navy shells will be made soon by the naval board appointed eight months ago to determine the value of this device submitted by Willard S. Isham. The fuse was a subject of controversy during the last congress, and the special board, headed by Rear Admiral Fiske, was appointed to conduct the tests. Admiral Fiske's recommendation that several fuses be made with improvements suggested by the board since previous experiments showed no very satisfactory result. HISTORICAL CHARTS. The unique historical selections of original compositions of great men by Mr. Miles C. Maxfield does honor to the colored race. These pictures and biographies are histories themselves, which should be in the homes of everybody. Not only should these historical charts be in every colored home, but they should be in our schools as well. The colored child knows but little of the great colored men of the race. Mr. Maxfield tells you who John Mercer Langston is; he tells you of Robert B. Elliot. Read elsewhere in this paper the 38 historical pictures. Mr. Maxfield was kind enough to present two of our favorite statesmen to The Bee, which shall adorn its office. Let every patriotic colored American send for one or all of the 38 historical charts.

The Blacks, like other people, talk, work and sing; Why not use the name which leads to their noble ancestry with no degrading sting. The word Negro for all Colored Americans is not a name in truth; Let Hamite-Americans think and remove all degrading words of stigma in their youth. God said, Let us make man; He loved all colors in His plan. Our own American land, the best and first, Here the Blacks are hated worst. Man exist by animal, vegetable, and mineral colors, In God's great plan we should always follow. Let us stop Race-prejudice on account of color. And prevent a world of trouble that always follows. The Blacks are at the mercy of the mob; Many evil spirits have done the cruel job. Black United States citizens have rights even in the States, They should be protected wherever the white man hates. The South will not give us a fair vote, But we have great hope in our Supreme Court. Give the Blacks a god and fair chance, And our country's glory they will always enhance. Don't bother about color in our great progress; America must lead civilization in all the great West. Ye Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Picts and Danes, Why hate your own Colored brothers and cause a world of shame. In ages past the Blacks for the whites have made fortunes in King Cotton; With a square deal and fair chance, let not all these significant facts be now forgotten. In every battle fought, a Black patriot's name they sought; The Blacks captured the works at New Market Heights; That's why their descendants should have equal rights. The blacks look on their patriotic record with pride and cheer, Because the Union has been saved by the Colored Volunteer. When attacked by any foreign foe, We will need the Blacks as of yore.

RICES-EASY TERMS 0 523 41-2 St. S. W. FLASH NEWS TO FAROFF SAILORS Uncle Sam's Boys Find Joy In Baseball Scores. VIA THE NAVAL WIRELESS Secretary Daniels Arranges For 200 Word Message Every Evening to Warships In West Indies—Captain Bullard, Superintendent of Nava Radio Service. Conceived the Idea. Washington.—Even the oldest inhabitant of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, can't remember the time before now when the Haitian tropics received the baseball scores every evening. Somehow one doesn't associate the thought of the blue Caribbean and scorching semi-equatorial sunshine with the thought of "New York, 4 Pittsburgh, 6." But it's an actual fact just the same. Not only baseball scores, but the latest word about the kalser and the war and William Jennings Bryan's latest opinion penetrate the tropical evenings. The officers and men of Uncle Sam's warships in West Indian waters are now able to learn of the things going on at home and abroad. Secretary Daniels worked the scheme through the innate patriotism of a telegraph company and a big press as sociation. Let there be no more tall of soulless corporations, says the navy. Every night the day's news is bolted down to 200 words—just as it should be, some one says—and is telegraphed 1 CAPTAIN W. H. G. BULLARD. to the naval wireless station at Key West, Fla. Then the wireless sparks begin to jump, and out over the gulf the Caribbean and the south Atlantic flashes the news "from home." Captain W. H. G. Bullard, superintendent of the naval radio service, is the man who conceived the idea, and through his suggestion Secretary Daniels obtained the cooperation of the news agency and the telegraph company. Only officers and sailors who are thousands of miles from home, in strange waters by strange shores, can fully appreciate the value of a service of this kind. The men are more interested in the baseball scores of the National and American leagues than in any other point of the day's news. The latest boiler explosion west of Pittsburgh, however, gets their avid interest. The naval radio service looks upon the idea as a great development of its resources. For several years the service has been sending out the official Washington time through the Arlington (Va.) station and the radio station at Darien, in the canal zone. This time flash has been sent broadcast over the continental United States, neighborhood waters and distant American dependencies. Not long ago some 300 jewelers informed Secretary Daniels that they had equipped themselves with radio apparatus just to catch this twice daily time flash from Washington. Time signals are said to be of immense benefit to vessels on the high seas, which now possess for the first time an accurate means of checking their chronometers, which is of the greatest help in fixing longitude. As soon as the new wireless section in the Philippines is completed it is be levied that an interchange of messages between the Philippines and the United States can be made in thirty minutes. The news bulletin service is regarded as of still greater importance as an advance in the naval radio service. It contrasts strongly, old officers say, with the methods of only thirty years ago, when naval vessels on distant duty never got news from home except when the relief vessel arrived and they received orders to go home and freshen up on events. Brooklyn.—Taught to be a "little gentleman." ten-year-old boy, after carrying small girl with injured foot many blocks to a hospital on his back refused to give his name because people might think he sought publicity. SHAVED BY SWISS ON BORDER Austrian Soldiers Operated on Through Barbed Wire Fences. Innsbruck, Austrian Tirol. — The Swiss-Austrian frontier is carefully marked off and closed by barbed wire fences, but that does not prevent fairly free intercourse between the Swiss and the Austrian soldiers. Soldiers of both countries are grouped along the Engadine border and in the Swiss ranks is a barber, the only one of his profession on either side. A recent visitor to this front who desired to have a shave found it was obtainable by the simple expedient of sitting in a chair on the Austrian side and allowing the Swiss soldier to extend his arms through the wire meshes. The shave was not the equal of one in a regular barber shop, a bit ragged and rough in spots, but it was better than none and was accomplished without any breach of neutrality. Austrian officers, it is asserted, resort almost daily to the odd expedient. STOLE HIDE FROM COW. Thief Took Advantage of Auto's Collision With the Animal. Baraboo. Wis.—Recently a cow belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Cohn was struck by an automobile owned by Edward Kowalke of North Freedom. The cow was tethered in the road for a pasture, and the driver of the car claims he tried to avert an accident, but could not. The leg of the cow was broken, and the animal had to be killed. Action was begun in Justice Adolph Andro's court on the ground the machine was being driven too fast, and later a change of venue was taken to Justice H. L. Halsted's court, where the case was dismissed, as the car was not going twenty-five miles an hour. Besides, cows should not pasture in the highway. The hide was removed from the animal, and later the sheriff was notified that this had been stolen. The thief has not been apprehended. TO SAFEGUARD $5,000,000,000 Destruction of Records by Big Chicago Fire Recalled. New York. -If fire should destroy the hall of records the city would lose its files of deeds and mortgages, upon which rest the title of Manhattan's $5,000,000,000 of realty. Register Hopper recommended in presenting his budget estimates for 1916 to the board of estimate that the duplicate abstract records which he has completed be housed in a fireproof building away from the city. The original plant would be retained in the office for title searching purposes. This method of duplicate plants in separate localities is followed by the large title and insurance companies, but the city has neglected to protect its records. On record in the register's office are 1,039,915 deeds and over 1,000,000 mortgages. The books or libers number over 8,000. The destruction by fire of the Equitable building and of the contents of a part of the capitol at Albany proved that merely depositing records in a fireproof building does not safeguard against partial or total destruction by fire. The great fire in Chicago destroyed the original records, but the damage was mitigated to a degree by the fact that abstracts made by a private company were saved. It placed owners largely at the mercy of the title company, which took huge profits from selling the abstract information. Fire and earthquake at San Francisco and fire at Jacksonville. Fla., Illustrated further the great loss resulting from a destruction of title records. "The establishment of the Torrens system," says the register. "in the way it has been successfully and universally applied in Australia and many other countries, would do away completely with the need of preserving old records except for their historical interest." TO HONOR DANIEL BOONE D. A. R. Will Unveil Bowlder Next. Month. Montgomery City. Mo.-After nearly 100 years a monument is to be erected over the burial place of Daniel Boone, near Martinsville. Warren county, through the efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is to be made of a large red granite bowlder found in Warren county, which Boone selected as his last resting place. It is planned to delicate the marker Oct. 20 at the close of a conference of the Missouri Daughters which is to be held in St. Louis. Student a Hero. Franklin. Lol.-Oscar Bogard of Lyons, who is attending the summer course at Franklin college, has become a hero in the opinion of his friends in rescuing a horse from death under a train. The horse broke loose from a hitchrack in front of the college campus and ran along the railroad tracks. The buggy was demolished and the horse became entangled in the harness and fell on the tracks. A train was approaching at full speed when Bogard with almost superhuman strength dragged the horse from the tracks only a second before the engine whizzed by. rer e . oeoeoeoete sic “ . am ——— i — sss 8 “oni, ! spn { iN {who went to Columbus, “Ohio and LFTl R FROM GOVERNOR WILLIS OF OF I i i : \ i). allowed themselves to become so ERD H10. ‘a certainty of a bond issue in the near future to furnish money to run . ‘a intoxicated by the treatment they a ee ss F the Government. 3 ae received that caused them to dis- See es ee ; poe | I hope your people will not only give consideration to these obey the order of the Supreme| MERE A aN Nae a ST RE Zeca | auestions but to others in which they are directly and personally’ —. -- | Court of the District of Colum- eres nee Yoon ani interested, in which case I am confident that the vote of the colored —— ——— bia, will find thémselves landed in RE eto se AC nee population must necessarily be substantially unanimous for a re t EA Ste F ee Gece i Iy turn : Published the District Jail when they come tol JRun. * "+ ee ee By pas #| | of the Republican party to power. : . . this city to answer the order of| Baer” d aoe a a eae Yours very truly, at eos the Court for a violation of its or- fe ee x ee F Ta fea JOHN W.

The, new city postmaster Is a gentleman and the people were glad when tht appointment was made. Mr. Chance doesn’t believe in tyrannical methods and neither does he believe in disregarding the wishes of the people. The poor colored letter carriers and other colored émployes in the city post office will now have a_ breathing spell. It is believed that Mr. Chance will do his whole duty to wards the people. No man is any more welcomed to the department than the new city postmaster”ant it is thé sincere wish of The” Be that he will gain the good will o the masses. It is also hoptd tha’ all classes of employees will be giv en the same consideration. It i hoped that the color of a man’ ‘skin will be no bar to his levatior under Mr. Chance. It is also hopes that tyrannical methods will ho be used to impress upon the em ployees that he is boss. All me are supposed to be human an those who act otherwise are bruta beasts and belong to a brutis! family. Because a_man is elevated to ; higher position than the one h previously held is no reason tha he should treat those under hit with disrespect: You can alway tell when a man or a woman ha reyal blood in his or her vein: Royalty in man or woman is fo lowed with a degree of humanity Brutality belongs to the commone and uncivilized stock, A civilize mem believes in treating his fel low. man as he would like to b treated. The Bee believes that the ne + postmaster will do his duty an treat all mankind human, POLICE RAID. ‘The reeent police raid of the Montie+llo Colored Club, in thie opinion of The Bee, is only one of the’ many unjustifiable raids of Colored Clubs and houses of Col. ored people by the viee squad con. nected with the Police Depart: ment. There is no more going on in the Monticello Club than what goes amin the large white elubs in this city. The white clubs have the money and can afford larger aml more commending buildings than clubs conducted by colored men, Why are colored pimps per- mitted to expose colored clubs! Why- are not white pimps sent to white elubs and evidence secured to raid them? The. police depart- ment has better sense. [t well Knows that-the moment 2 pimp from the police department ot elsewhere entered a white club he would be promptly ejected. In the first place no pimp would be per- mitted to enter the back door of & fitst-elass whife club. Colored elubs must tolerate all classes and conditions: they are embarrassec beeause there are not meno! wealth and social standing to con ductean exclusive Colored Club. While it is true that the Monti eello Chib is eosmopolitah in it character and it may not be con duéted according to the rules o Hoyle, it has the semblance of ; elub and is conducted in a manne that should be given some consid eration. Does this Club requir any more watching than any othe elub conducted by white ment * Give the manager of the Monti cello Club the building of the Met _ropolitan, Army and Navy anc the University Club and see wha kind of a club he would have. IN CONTEMPT. The Knights of Pythias of North american, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, ete., must answer contempt proceedings. It is never safe for any body of men or bodies corporate to disobey the order of any court. The gentlemen who went to Columbus, “Ohio ee allowed themselves to become so intoxicated by the treatment they received that caused them to dis- obey the order of the Supreme Court of the District of Colum- bia, will find thémselves landed in the District Jail when they come to this city to answer the order of the Court for a violation of its or- der. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia passed an order restraining this organization from interfering in any way with the Grand Lodge of Richmond, Va. during the pendency of this suit. Regardless of this restrain- ing order, the Supreme Lodge which met at Columbus, Ohio, in violation of the orders of the Su- preme Court of the District of Co- iumbia, proceeded to expell the Iédge at Richmond, Va. The Bee is confident that such action is in violation of the court’s restraining order and the Supreme officers must suffer the consequences if they are adjudged in contempt. The Supreme officers will find a difference between the table board at Hotel de Jail and the Columbus, Ohio, Hotel de Columbus, OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT With a colored population of nearly one hundred thousand eol- ored people and no recognition in the local government will speak volumns for the eity of Washmy- ton when laws are made for the nation. With three Commissioners who were appointed by the Presi- dent of the United States and who is pledged by the Constitution of the United States to do his duty to- wards the colored Americans, comes as near doing it as the North Sea kisses the breakers of the Po- (tomae basin. What the people in this city want is the elective franchise. The people want to manage their own affairs and elect their own otticers. They want control of their own schools and all other institutions. The colored citizens and all repub- licans have no standing under the present local government. The democratic commissioners are do- ing their duty toward democrats. They are teaching their republi- can successors how to appoint men regarlless of condition, Only democrats need apply for positions under our local government. There Jis no rbom for colored and white republicans under this adntinis. tration of our local government. FRED. DOUGLASS HOME, | The Fred Douglass home is in need of a head. The people will not support that home as long as the present head is in charge. The person to place in charge of that home is Prof. Joseph H. Douglass, the grandson of the late Fred. Douglass. Then the people would ot hesitate to contribute towards its support. Let the trustees make a change. The Bee will have more to say later, en REPUBLICAN BARBACTE The Capital City United Repub- liean Club is preparing to give an old fashioned republican barbacue next month, Look out for day and late. . | + BUM SERVICE. The present eity postoffice serv- ice is Dum. It is hoped that Mr Chance will get a move on lum There are hundreds of complamts muide of the service. MR. BRUCE. Roscoe C. Bruee probably will leave the city as soon as he is able He has not improved’ since last publieation was made in this pa- per of his illness. The more one thinks of poor lit- tle Haiti, the more disgusting the conditions in that country become. The United States, may be a°great nation, but its value is only dem- onstrated when such small repub- lies as Haiti, Mexico, and a few other smaller countries get unruly. Now when such countries as Ger- many, France, Austria, Italy and other great European countries go so far as to kill American citizens all Amesfea does is to accept an apologetic note not to do the like again. Ilaiti, the black republic, is seized and all of her eustom houses are plaeed under the control _ of American supervision; martial law is declared and all other nations are prevented from interfering. The Haiti republic is today sub. jected to prejudice and tyranny. A republic that liberated “herself from France and whose victories have made her famous and whose memory will be emblazoned on the seroll of fame until future ages shall designate a holiday for her deeds. . Carrie Nation's portrait and her famous hatchet have been placed in the State Historical Society Museum at Topeka, as an honor to her niem- ory.

C. ‘ Dear Mr. Chase: . : I have your letter of August 10th calling my attention to the Republican Rally which is to be held at Eureka Park on September Sth and inviting me to be present. 1 regret that my engagements are such that I can not go to Washington at that time; otherwise, I should be glad to be present and take part in the meeting. We are entering into a most important National Campaign and ‘there seems to be ample reasons why Republicans should be inited. We have seen during the present Administratiow not only the ear- tying out of the sectional propaganda, which has been a part of the policy of the Democratic Party in reeent years, but a complete breaking down of our protective policy and ‘the passage of legislation so disturbing to business that if it were not for the war there is almost a certainly that we would at this time be in the midst of a great industrial depression; in fact, except in those lines of~business which are furnishing supplies for the European war, the automo- bile industry, and a few allied concerns, business is very far from normal even under present conditions. There has been no reduction in the cost of living; a fact, a greater increase in the cost of living has been seen since the passage of the Underwood bill than in any corresponding period in recent years. There has been no beneficial results to consumers or to pro- ducers in the United States as a result of the fiscal legislation which was passed by the Sixty-third Congress. On the contrary, we have had imposed upon us not only invome and corporation taxes but a special tax which is producing nearly one hundred millions of dol- lars, notwithstanding which the working balance of the Treasury is at a lower point than at any time in recent years and there is almost 1 a ‘a certainty of a bond issue in the near future to farnish money to run the Government. | I hope your people will not only give consideration to these questions but to others in which they are directly and personally’ interested, in which case I am confident that the vote of the colored population must necessarily be substantially unanimous for a return of the Republican party to power. Yours very truly, JOHN W. WEEKS. See EEE ooo THE GREAT RALLY. | The Junior Choir rendered the fol Brown Received an Ovation at the Conclusion of the Speech of Prof. M,.

The bride was handsomely gowned in a costume of white chiffon and chiffon taffeta over white satin made pointed train effect, this charm- ing gown being designed by a close friend of the bride, Mrs. M. L. (Fritz- gerald) Jeffers, a fashionable Washing- ton modiste, but formerly of Durham, N. C., the trimming of this dress being Sprays of Illes of the valley, together with quite a bit of hand embroidery showing marked skill and workman- ‘ship, the only ornament being a cluster of pearls. ‘The: bridal veil was also trimmed In Illes of the valley, and ex- tended to the end of the train. The bride carried ashuge boquet of bridal roses and malden-hair ferns. The mald of honor, Miss Louise Hoover of Ra- leigh, N. C., never looked prettier clad in white chiffon taffeta silk, car- rying a huge bunch of pink carna- tions. The best man was Prof Albert Robinson, of Durham, N. C. The ring-bearer, Miss Stevens of Fayette- ville, N. C., looked lovely in a dress }of French organdy and thread lace, hand-made, bringing the ring in a bas- Ket of beautiful white lilies. After Rev. Watkins of Charlotte, N. C., per- formed the ceremony, the happy cou- ‘ple, together with quite 2 number of others, hurried from the reception to ithe Union Station, taking a Pullman jcar on their wedding tour to Niagara |Falls, New York, Atlantic City.

'The groom fills the chair of mathe- jmatics at Shaw University. Ralelgh, iN. C., and has a comfortable, cozy ‘home awaiting the reception of his laccomplished and charming bride.

MAX FELDMAN - GROCERIES . _ 337 Third. Street, Southwest : UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT, PLAIN JAPANESE AT CORONATION AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY. Precedent of Twenty-five Centuries Will Be Broken by a Public Function—New Emperor Will Eat Sacred Rice Sown, Tended and Harvested by Virgins. Tokyo.—For the first time in the history of the Japanese empire, extending over 2,500 years, an emperor is to accede to the throne in the presence of representatives of his people. That is why the coronation of Emperor Yoshihito on Nov. 19 is regarded as a supreme event in Japanese national life and why it is looked forward to with such eagerness and delight by the emperor's subjects. Strictly speaking, the ceremony is not a coronation, but an accession. The rulers of Nippon wear no crown but in the presence of the spirits of their ancestors they formally accede to the dignity and prerogatives of emperorship. However, the coming great event is usually referred to as the coronation. The empress expects to become a mother about that time. The emperor doubtless will go alone to Kioto with great pomp, carrying with him in a specially constructed train of exquisite workmanship and decoration the three sacred treasures which symbolize the ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. authority and power of the throne the sacred mirror, the sacred sword and the comma shaped jewel. Belligious services will be held in the Shunkyoden temple, where the gorgeous throne will be placed and where will be witnessed a rare spectacle of court nobles and priests in the ancient, picturesque ceremonial robes. The foreign representatives will be ushered to their seats by the sound of flutes and drums. The doors of the sanctuary where the sacred mirror is placed will be opened and offerings spread before the altar. Then the emperor, preceded by the lord chamberlain and minister of the household carrying the sword and gem, will enter, followed by the princes of the blood, ministers of state and the members of the coronation commission. After a moment of silence the emperor will go to the altar and read an address proclaiming to the spirits of his ancestors that he has received the sacred treasures and that he then and there ascends the throne, the seat of the "Son of Heaven." The princes and princesses of the blood and other Japanese in their turn will pay homage. At the second ceremony, to be held in the Shishilden palace, Emperor Yoshihito will announce to his subjects his accession to the throne. Members of both houses, local governors and other persons representing the people, will be present at this function, as well as the members of the diplomatic corps. In striking contradistinction to the last coronation, which was conducted entirely and exclusively in the presence of the court, in the coming ceremonies not only the people and representatives of foreign powers, but even a delegation of chiefs from the native tribes of Formosa will be present. This last is the idea of Premier Okuma, who wishes, while preserving the dignity and sanctity of the ceremonies, to bring in the note of democracy and popular representation. The Daljosal or thanksgiving festivals, will take place in the Dalj temples. There are two—the Yukl temple, dedicated to the delites of heaven, and the Sukl, dedicated to the delites of earth. In these sacred precincts the emperor, alone and unseen, will eat of the sacred rice, sown, tended and harvested by virgins in the eastern and western provinces. In each case the emperor will bathe in sacred water after which, donning special robes, he will pray successively before the heavenly and earthly delites, offering up thanks for its glorious and happy accession. MAY IRWIN BACKS WILSON. Wants Cabinet Post to Laugh His Detractors Out of Court. New York.-May Irwin fills no position: in President Wilson's cabinet, which precludes her reprimanding those she thinks talk too much, but as a suffragist who campaigned ardently for the president she feels privileged to stand up for him. So she sent a letter, to President Wilson which said, among other things: "In these times, when our beloved country is facing the most crucial problems of its history, you have shown yourself as great a patriot, and statesman as ever held the executive office. "But as usual there are some agitators and self seekers who for the sake of notoriously are attempting to handicap the work of the president, even to the extent of hurling this nation into the bloodless war of all history. I am only a humble almost citizen, but I think it the duty of every woman, child or man to encourage you with a direct approval of your course; hence this letter. "I would like to see a new department added to the government, to be known as the department of laughter. The function of it should be to laugh out of court these fools and self seekers, these pests and jingoes who are trying to annoy you in your work. The rulers of old had their Sir Motleys and jesters for just such a purpose. I respectfully apply for the portfolio of this department on the supposition that I know a good laugh when I see one." Up to the hour of going to press the good submarine Oyster Bay had not even shown its periscope preparatory to firing an answering broadside. FEW LEFT IN SHAKERTOWN. Only Four Remain in Wealthy Kentucky Settlement. Lexington, Ky.—Four elderly and infirm persons are the only occupants of the immensely valuable Shaker settlement, one of the few remaining colonies of the sect, near here. Sisters Christine Johnson, eighty-four, and Martha Olson, eighty-seven, died one day recently within the hour. Shakertown, now so sparsely settled, once was a flourishing town, with manufactories and various business enterprises and controlling rich adjacent farm lands. Even now the property is valued at millions. Recently a trustee was appointed to manage the affairs of the colonists. Dayton, O-Orville Wright, the aeroplane inventor and manufacturer, is to devote his life to research work, giving up his business interests. The inventor for years has had the ambition to develop and amplify his research work, but since the death of his brother Wilbur several years ago his time has been taken up almost entirely by the management of his business and patent litigation. In the last week two offers have been made for the Wright holdings here, but without success. Mr. Wright refused to make public any offers he has received, but Dayton bankers say substantial sums and credits were concerned. "I cannot say now how soon this change will come about or give any details of how or why it will be made," said Mr. Wright. It is said Mr. Wright's health is poor and he is in a nervous condition. Confronted with this as a possible motive for selling the plant, he still refused to reveal his intentions further. "I never was interested especially in the business end of it," said Mr. Wright. "I am not averse to making money from it. But that is not what I am striving for. "My patent litigation is going favorably, both in the United States and abroad. The court of appeals has sustained the decision of lower courts in every instance, and there is a little further work along those lines. "I have not gone into the war game as other aeroplane manufacturers have. The trouble has been in getting a high powered aeroplane motor that is reliable. They are pretty delicate things, but I am working on a new 120 horsepower engine which I have not put on the market." Concerning the New York newspaper story in which it was said the German government held an option on the Wright plant. Mr. Wright had an explanation to make. "The story is an untruth. I know that it was based merely on a suggestion that the German government get an option on this company. Some one thought it would be a good scheme for the Germans to buy the Wright company and prevent other countries from getting any machines. A letter to that effect was written to the German, consul at New York, and from that source the story emanated." Bees Bout Workers. Hammond, Ind.-The icing gang in the Indiana harbor belt yards at Riverdale was driven from the Pacific fruit express by bees, and the train was held up on the way to New York. The swarm had "homed" in the lining of a refrigerator car. The bees could not be distolged and went on with the train. SUFFRAGISTS' BIG FIGHT FOR BALLOT CONGRESS IS BEING POLLED At Least 5,000 Suffragists, Men and Women, to Gather In National Capital For December Meeting—Woman Suffrage Workers Plan Busy Campaign In Their Native States. Washington.—This month the women voters of the United States planned to meet at the Panama-Pacific exposition in San Francisco and go on record as favoring the Susan B. Anthony amendment to remove from the ballot the qualification of sex. Three months later, during the first week of December, the members of the Congressional union and their supporters will rally in Washington and make a great demonstration before congress. More than 3000 women will take part in the San Francisco convention. M. Photo by American Press Association At least 5,000 suffragists, men and women, will gather in the national capital for the December meeting. In the various states woman suffrage workers are calling on their represent atives in congress to assist them by word of mouth and by votes next winter. "We are determined to win from a reluctant congress that which will es tablish for all time to come our rights as citizens of the United States," said Miss Lucy Burns, vice president of the congressional union. "We have listed more than half of the members of the present congress, and by a file index can tell just where they stand. Before congress' meets we will complete our poll and will be able to separate the sheep from the goats or the wolves." Miss Burns was asked if the Union would send any more deputations to see the president and try to get him to support their cause. "We have not mapped out our plan as to the president," said Miss Burns. "but we will wait until he declares his position on suffrage in New Jersey before the October election there. It was announced at the White House some days ago that the president would make public his views in his own state. The congressional union's attitude toward the president is one of 'watchful waiting.'" This convention will consider how the political power of women who are already voters may be used to help the passage of the suffrage amendment in the next congress. There are already nearly 4,000,000 women voters. All the twelve suffrage states will send voting delegates. The states in which women are still disfranchised will send representatives. At this convention New York will be strongly represented. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, chairman of the women voters' convention, is expected to be present. Mrs. Belmont is deeply interested in the plan for the Congressional Union to organize the women voters of the west in support of the federal suffrage amendment. "It is this part of the policy of the Congressional Union." said Mrs. Belmont, "which has my heartiest support." Mrs. Belmont has already devoted much time to overseeing the details of the convention. She has been assisted by a committee consisting of Mrs. William Kent of California, Mrs. S. B. M. Young of Montana, Dr. Cora Smith King of Washington, Mrs. George Fowler of Colorado. Mrs. Charlotte A. Whitney of California, Mrs. Preston Satterwhite of New York, Mrs. M. H. DeYoung of California, Miss Margaret Roberts of Idaho, Mrs. Frederick G Sanborn of California, Mrs. Lucius Cuthbert of Colorado, Mrs. Phoebe A Hearst of California, Mrs. Mary Cachot Therkelson of Oregon, Miss Florence Kelley of New York and Mrs. Eovell White of California.

INTERESTING EXHIBITS. The Patent Office and the Census Bureau Represented at The Lincoln Jubilee and Half Century Anniversary of Negro Freedom. Two of the most interesting features of the Lincoln Jubilee and Half-Century Anniversary Exposition now running at the Coliseum, are the exhibits of the United States Patent Office and the Bureau of the Census. These exhibits attract much attention, and the Patent Exhibit is in charge of Mr. Henry E. Baker, an assistant examiner in the Patent Office at Washington, and who has been detailed for this duty by the Patent Office. The official records do not show the race identity of a patentee; but investigation discloses that more than a thousand patents have been granted to colored inventors, and cover a wide rang of mechanical skill, and embrace improvements in domestic devices, electrical appliances, aerial navigation, land conveyances, and railway conveyances and appliances. The Census Office is represented by Mr. Robert A. Pelham, also on detail, who demonstrates statistical methods and machinery, features the efficient work of Negro clerks in this branch of the Government service, and incidentally explains the use of two of his own inventions in use in the bureau. Mr. Pelham is also in charge of the Howard University (Washington, D.C.) Exhibit, which is a very creditable exhibit of college life, fine buildings, grounds and class work. S. AGNES J.

Phone North 4017 CARDINAL GIBDONS ON CHURCH UNITY Review of a Strong Plea For a United Christendom. Two Masterful Discourses Compared. Many Points of Likeness as Well as of Difference—One Shepherd, One Flock—One Head, One Body—One Heavenly Bridegroom, One Heavenly Bride—Children of the Church—One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. New York City, Sept. 6.—Pastor Russell, at the New York City Temple, W. G. 33d St., near Broadway, preached a strong sermon on the subject of Church Unity. He took for his text Matthew 23:8—"One is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are New York City, Sept. 5.—Pastor Russell, at the New York City Temple, W. 63rd St., near Broadway, preached a strong sermon on the subject of Church Unity. He took for his text Matthew 23:8: "One is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren." He said in part: Some time ago, in the Cathedral at Baltimore, Cardinal Gibbons delivered a remarkable discourse advocating a united Christendom. His strong plea contains many good thoughts, some of which I will now read: "It was manifestly the desire of Christ that all His disciples should be united in the profession of one faith. In His admirable prayer before His passion He says: 'I pray for them also through their word shall believe in Me, that they all be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me'; because the unity of the Church is the most luminous evidence of the Divine mission of Christ. "Unity of government is not less essential to the Church of Christ than unity of doctrine. Our Divine Savior never speaks of IIs churches, but IIs Church. He does not say, 'Upon this rock will I build My churches,' from which words we must conclude that it never was IIs intention to establish or to sanction various conflicting denominations, but one corporate body, with all the members united under one visible head; for as the Church is a visible body, it must have a visible head. Unity of Faith and Government. "His Church is compared to a human body. 'As in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office; so we, being many, are one body in 'Christ, and every one member one of the other.' In one body there are many members, all inseparably connected with the head. The head commands; and the foot instantly moves, the hand is raised and the lips open. Even so our Lord ordained that His Church, composed of many members, should be all united in one supreme visible head, whom they are bound to obey. "The Church is compared to a vine, all of whose branches, though spreading far and wide, are necessarily connected with the main stem, and from its sap they are nourished. In like manner our Savior will have all the saplings of His vineyard connected with the main stem, all draw their nourishment from the parent stock. In fact, our common sense alone, apart from the revelation, is sufficient to convince us that God could not be the Author of various opposing systems of religion. God is essentially One. He is Truth itself. 'God is not the God of dissension, but of peace.' "I see perfect harmony in the laws which govern the physical world we inhabit. I see a marvelous unity in our planetary system. Each planet moves in its own sphere, and all are controlled by the central sun. Why should there not also be harmony and concord in that spiritual world, the Church of God, the grandest conception of His omnipotence, and the most bountiful manifestation of His goodness and love for mankind? "Hence, it is clear that Jesus Christ intended that His Church should have one common doctrine, which all Christians are bound to believe, and one uniform government, to which all should be loyally attached. Where, then, shall we find this essential unity of faith and government? I answer, confidently. Nowhere save in the Catholic Church." Pastor Russell Agrees With Cardinal. I am pleased to say that I can agree most heartily with Cardinal Gibbons' presentation in almost every particular. Unquestionably sectarianism is wholly out of accord with the teachings of the Scriptures. St. Paul declares that it is a proof of carnality, of a fleshly mind, of an unspiritual state (1 Corinthians 3:3-7.) All Christians—both Catholic and Protestant—are coming to realize this fact, although but a few years ago some claimed that sectarianism led to a greater zeal and energy in the Divine service. All conversant with history will understand what I mean when I say that God has been pleased to permit an illustration—first, a united Christendom, and second, a divided Christendom. For long centuries there was in Europe practically but the one Church—Roman Catholic. The results were not all that could be desired. That unity brought neither secular nor religious education, nor did it bring to the world the Millennium. Rather, throughout that long period ignorance and superstition held sway. During the last few centuries we have had the division of Christendom to various sects and parties. While the results are not satisfactory, not what the Word of God prompts us to desire and expect, nevertheless this divided condition has certainly tended toward greater freedom of thought, greater liberty from ignorance and superstition. Which Is the True Church? Agreeing with all the Scriptural premises laid down by Cardinal Gibbons, we must, neyertheless, dispute his conclusion that this one Church, which Christ declared He would build upon the rock of Truth, and which would grow to a glorious Temple composed of living stones, of which St. Peter was one, is the Roman Church. Equally we disagree with our Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran and Congregational systems when they each profess to be the one Church. Our contention is that all who turn their backs upon sin, accept the Lord Jesus as their Savior, approach the Heavenly Father in full consecration through Jesus and who receive the beating of the Holy Spirit of God—all such are sons of God, whether or not they join the Roman Catholic, the Congregational, the Methodist, the Presbyterian or other human systems. Furthermore, our contention is that not one of these human systems, Catholic or Protestant, is recognized of God. They are all human institutions—originated by men and maintained by men. Sometimes good men and sometimes bad men have had to do with their organization and maintenance. Indeed, we hold that each consecrated believer is a child of God wherever he may be—inside or outside of all denominational walls or creeds. In the Scriptures the true Church of Christ is described as "the Church of the First-born, written in Heaven" (Hebrews 12:22). Will our Protestant friends claim that their church roll corresponds to "the Lamb's Book of Life"? (Revelation 21:27). Would Christians of any denomination dare to make such a claim? Most assuredly. No. We all realize that at the very most the various sects and parties of Christ tendon are composed of wheat and tares; and that, so far as human judgment can discern, the tariffs are vastly in the majority. Christian Union Never Lost. Christian Union Never Lost. From this standpoint we perceive that the great masses, Catholic and Protestant, never were the Church of Christ. They have been children of this world, not "spirit-begotten New Creatures in Christ, not living stones in the Temple, not branches of the True Vine, not members of the "little flock." They have been worldly people with religious sentiments and good deeds, who misunderstood the Bible teaching that only the sanctified art in Christ Jesus, called to be saints (1 Corinthians 1:2). What these large numbers of well-meaning but mistaken people have done in the way of organizing churches, lodges, banks, etc., has had nothing whatever to do with the great organization which God effected eighteen centuries ago and which has persisted as a unit ever since. The True Church has never been divided. Each member is united with the Lord, the Head, and through Him to every other member of His Body, which is the Church. In this one Church there has always been main-tained one Lord Jesus, one faith—His Word of Promise—and one baptism, consecration into His death. -2 Timothy 2:11, 12; Ephesius 4:4-6. Does some one say, "Where is the history of this Church?" We answer in the words of the Apostle, "The world knoweth us not, even as it knew Him not." (1 John 3:1.) The world of Jesus' day were the professed religionists. Yet they knew not the great Redeemer whom God had sent and they crucified Him. Similarly, all down the Gospel Age, the great religious teachers of the various systems have not recognized the members of the Body of Christ. This is the very point which St. Paul emphasizes. He declares that the fact (and the philosophy of the fact) that the Church are members of Christ is to the world—both the religious world and the irreligious world—a Hidden Mystery. It is outside of their theory their understanding. Hence it is that the most saintly characters, both Catholic and Protestant, have been martyrs, as Jesus was, as St. Stephen was as all the Apostles were, as all the faithful were during the intermediate centuries; and as some yet may be if an outward union be effected such as once prevailed—in the Dark Ages. Counterfeiting the True Church. If we now declare that to a certain extent the True Church has been counterfeited by both Catholics and Protestants, let no one suppose that we wish to speak unkindly. We do not charge that these counterfeits of the True Church were made intentionally but merely that the Church, coming under the control of brilliant minds not spirit-begotten, followed their misrepresentations of God's Word. For instance, the average Roman Catholic does not know that he is not a member of the Church. But Cardinal Gibbons will not deny the fact, neither will any other ecclesiastic. Their teaching, most explicitly, is that the Pope and the other religious instructors compose the Church, and that the people are the children of the Church. Thus the Catholic Church appropriates the words of Jesus respecting the "little flock," etc., and applies them to the clergy, not to the congregation. This is the secret of Papacy's great mistake. In their ecclesiastical system they have a counterfelt of the True Church. Because the Scriptures declare that the Lord's faithful "little flock," "the Church of the living God," will reign with Christ, therefore Papacy claims the right to reign with Heavenly authority over the kingdoms of earth. Papacy's endeavor to carry out this erroneous reasoning has led to many grievous persecutions, and wars. If Papacy has the counterfelt of the True Church and the True Reign of Christ, what does the Bible teach, respecting the genuine? This: That the experiences of the unknown, despised, saltly followers in the footsteps of Jesus constitute their preparation for a share in the Kingdom with their Lord. When the full number of the elect Church, predestined of the Father, shall have been gathered out of the world and glorified, then God's Kingdom shall be established on earth, and they shall be joint-heirs with the King of king—Jesus Christ. His Kingdom will rule the world, not by guns and swords, not by burnings at the stake and inquisitionary torments, but by Heavenly power. What our Catholic friends have is merely a foreshadowing of the Truth respecting the Church as a mother. The Scriptures teach that when Christ shall institute His Millennial Kingdom for the uplifting of mankind, He shall have a Bride—the Church (Revelation 19:9)—and shall figuratively beget children. That is, during the thousand years of His Reign the glorified Jesus will be the Everlasting Father, Giver of everlasting life on the earthly plane. to Adam and all of his children who will accept it on the Divine terms. Then the Church will be the mother, the caretaker, of all mankind, to bring the willing and obedient up to full human perfection and life everlasting. All who refuse this grace of God will be destroyed in the Second Death. Are There Protestant Counterfeits? Although Protestants repudiate the Catholic idea that the clergy alone constitute the Church, nevertheless in many denominations we see this insidious error in a slightly different form. This is notably true in the Episcopal Church, which puts the government into the hands of the clergy and treats the laity to a considerable extent as children. The Methodist Episcopal Church follows closely the same line of procedure. The Presbyterian and Lutheran systems also differentiate the clergy from the laity, even though the laity, be given some recognition on the ecclesiastical boards, usually 'for the purpose of securing financial or legal advice. Congregationalists, Baptists and Disciples most heavily recognize an equality between clergy and laity—that the entire Church of God is a Royal Priesthood. Yet even with these congregational bodies an attempt is made to separate clergy from laity and to hold all the spiritual power and authority in the hands of the clergy. In the Congregational Church this is done along financial lines through the Congregational Union. In the Baptist Church the Baptist Ministers Association holds reins over the people and tells them whom they may call for a pastor—whom the Association will ordain and whom refuse. Thus the same spirit is manifested in all these earthly systems and distinctly differentiates them all from the One True Church and her Scriptural regulations, which declare, "All ye are brethren; One is your Master, even Christ"; and One is your Pope, or Father, even God. We ask Cardinal Gibbons to consider with us the Scriptural teachings which we have presented; namely, that the Royal Priesthood is composed exclusively of saints, whether clergy or laity; that this One Church is indivisible; that the Heavenly Father, the Hubbandman of this True Vine, permits none to remain as branches, members of the True Church, unless they bring forth the true fruit of the Vine. We ask the Cardinal to consider the Scriptural teaching that this saintly class is now the Espoused Virgin mentioned by St. Paul (2 Corinthians 11:2); and that these are now awaiting the completion of their number, when the Heavenly Bridegroom, at His Second Coming, will receive them to Himself. By the power of the First Resurrection they will "be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye." to be like their Lord. Then, as the Scriptures declare, will come the Marriage of the Lamb. (Revelation 19:7.) Shortly after that event will come the Millennial Kingdom and the regeneration of Adam's race—the giving to them of new life from the Life-Giver. As for the great human institutions which more or less counterfeit Christ's Kingdom, these are also called vines in Scripture—the vine of the earth, in contrast with the Vine of the Father's right-hand planting. It is not for us to determine how much good and how much harm these earthly churches, vines of the earth, have accomplished. This our Lord will declare in His own season. But He tells us that the grapes borne by these vines—anger, malice, hatred, envy, strife, evil-speaking, etc.—will overflow the Winepress of the Wrath of God in the near future, and bring upon mankind that great Time of Trouble which our Lord declares will be such as never was be fore known.—Matt. 24:21; Daniel 12:1. ELIJAH'S FLIGHT AND HIS VISION ELIJAH'S FLIGHT AND HIS VISION Jezebel Unrepentant—Ahab Uphelds Her—Elijah's Life Threatened—He Flees, Discouraged—God Granted Him a Vision of the Future—The Wind, the Earthquake, the Fire, the Still, Small Voice—What These Signify Now to the Antitypical Elijah Class. ELLJAH expected that, after three and a half years of Divine chastisement, followed by a special manifestation of Divine Power against the representatives of Baal, the true God and the true religion would have a measure of prosperity with the people. Surprised to find Queen Jezebel as murderous as ever, and King Ahab dominated by her influence, Ellijah fled, sadly discouraged. After a long sleep, relieving his nervous strain, the Lord gave him through an angel a special message of comfort, and food which lasted him for forty days, until he came to the Mount of God—Horeb. There Ellijah went through a series of experiences (whether literal or in vision we may not be too certain) in which the Lord was to reveal Himself. First came the winds, reading the rocks; but God was not in the winds. Next came the earthquake; but God was not in the earthquake. Then followed the deriving trees but vision we only not be too certain) in which the Lord was to reveal Himself. First came the winds, rending the rocks; but God was not in the winds. Next came the earthquake; but God was not in the earthquake. Then followed the devouring fire; but God was not in the fire. Finally came the still, small Voice, which Luther's translation renders, "The Voice of Eden." God was in the Voice—it truly represented Him. This narrative multiplies in force to Bible students when they realize that all these occurrences foreshadowed experiences with which the Church in the flesh is intimately connected. Jebebel still represents a form of godliness great and boastful, supported by earthly power, represented in King Ahab. The picture intimates that the great social and religious upheaval of a century ago did not deeply affect nor greatly alter the outward attitude of the Church nominal and the world toward the true Church of Christ in the flesh, typified by the Prophet Elijah. The reformation was partial only. Great institutions still upheld many of the serious errors of the past. The Elijah class again passed out of public view, though not out of communion and fellowship with God. Divine supervision providing for their necessities of rest and spiritual refreshment. What the Elijah Class See. Mount Horob, "the Mount of God," sitlly represented Messiah's Kingdom. Elijah's coming to it portrayed the fact that the Church will be in and under the Kingdom administration while still in the flesh, although the last members of the Church will not fully participate in the Kingdom honors until they shall have experienced their great resurrection "change." (1 Corinthians 15:30-52.) Many Bible students understand that chronologically Messiah's Kingdom began its operation in the world in 1878, while the last members of the Elijah class are still in the flesh. How soon the entire company of the Elijah class will pass beyond the veil and the Kingdom be ushered in with power and great glory is not definitely stated in the Bible. Bible students the world over have been receiving of the Lord a special vision of the future. Through Bible study they have been learning that Messiah's Kingdom is to be inaugurated in "a Time of Trouble such as was not since there was a action"—"no, nor ever shall be" afterwards. (Daniel 12:1; Matthew 21:21) They have learned that the winds of strife, the present war, have been held back for years by Divine Power, when God's people have been, assisted in Bible study, symbolically called the sealing of the saints in their foreheads.—Rev. 7:1-4. This class see the four parts of the great Dhine Program ushering in the Kingdom of God, for which so long His saints have prayed, "Thy Kingdom come." They see that the winds represent the war; that the earthquake of Elijah's vision represented a great social revolution, to follow the war; that following the revolution, an- Elijah hearing the voice of the Lord. A archy is to be expected, symbolized by fire, destroying present institutions. ire, destroying present institutions. In none of these great experiences coming to the world will God be manifest. They will be merely preparatory, to fit man for the Voice of Eden, which subsequently will be heard, bringing the Message which will be "the desire of all nations." Fulfillment of the Vision Begun. Bible students understand that these four great features of God's Plan portrayed to Ellijah have already begun a fulfilment—that the present European war is the letting loose of "the four winds of heaven"—winds of strife. The fact that Ellijah saw these things before he was taken up should not be understood to mean that all these experiences will be past before the Church is "changed," but rather that these things are identified with the inauguration of the Kingdom.
