VOL. XXXVI, NO. 28 THE RACE PROBLEM Ex-Congressman Geo. W. Murray on the Race Problem—The Eminent South Carolian Defends His People. By Geo. W. Murray. Sumter, S. C., Dec. 6, 15. Editor of The Bee: Editor There are two very grave problems with which Afro-Americans are burdened, and one race problem with which white Americans are mainly concerned. The first of the Afro-American's problem is how, in his natural environment, to supply his offsprings with the missing links in the natural chain of thoughts, with which the God of nature supplied his ancestry to develop the spirits, or sensations, self-admiring, self-serving, self-preserving, and self-defending black men, which were destroyed by the institution of slavery in its artificial plan of training to produce a white-admiring, white-serving, white-preserving, and a non-self-defending, black slave; and his second problem is how, in his natural environment, to change the undesirable spirits, or sensations which it has developed in his adults by the poisonous thoughts which it carries, without changing such env self-governing. Which makes it appear that unless proper artificial means are devised strenuously applied, the Afro-American will never be able to solve his problems. The perplexing problem as to how to develop him into a desirable citizen and to continue an inferior and tool at the same time; which the Afro-American presents to the white American; which the spirits of white masters, already developed by the thought impressions of his native environment is a very little less magnificent to the two. problems present to himself. which he prepares. The problems which the *Afro-American* presents both to his white neighbor and himself are so interwoven and interdependent that the former can hardly solve his problem without solving those of the latter; that is the thoughts which will develop such sensations as will produce a desirable citizen in the Afro-American. will at the same time solve the problems of both developing the proper self-governing principles in his offspring, and changing improper self-governing principles already devised by the adult. verbally the problem of how to develop him in a to desirable citizen which the Afro-American presents to the white American is very grave, when compared with those which he presents to himself of how to develop desirable, or how change undesirable self-governing principles in his native environment, it dwindles into almost insignificance, especially when it is remembered that he has to solve problems in the midst of, or same thought impressions which produced them. The white American, demand on the Afro-American to change his undesirable citizenship, while still in possession of the plan of life supplied by his ancestry to produce it, is analogy to the principle of giving an in original a pattern by which to cut a garment and then to denounce him when he has produced the garment in faithfully following the pattern. As the ancestry of the white American gave the ancestry of the Afro-American the plan of life by which he is producing his undesirable man, it appears unreasonable for him to denounce and kill him for his own pattern with which he has been纵容, without supplying him with another. In possession of an environment for developing thought impressions to develop the self-governing abilities of free men, by which he can see defects in the Afro-American he which he can not see in himself; the white American if not hindered by the spirits of white masters can much more easily solve his problem by pllying him with the thought impressions to develop desired sensations in the artificial plant of training he supplies to the Afro-American than he can supply himself with thoughts required to develop desirable senses in his slave-made environment Again, as the white American is already conscious of the objectionable defects in the life of the Afro-American he can intelligently begin at once to remove them, but as he is unconscious of them he cannot even begin to help himself; and especial such defects appear as natural and proper to him as their opponents do to his white neighbor. As the Afro-American is unconscious of his defects, he regards opposition of himself on account of them, nothing more nor less than opposition to his color, bead which his objectional self-governing principles, or dispositions, are hiding. What is adding to the magnitude of their problems and hindering solutions is that improvement oughts to be done by both races false conceptions of their cause. Because the harmful and fallacious thoughts with which the environment of black slaves was supplied completed the work for which they were designed, in transferring their ideal man to their white masters, and reversing the paramount of self-appreciation, self-presentation, and self-defense in life, which thereby made their inferior, or less than God made them, the ancestry of the white American pointed out their defects to their offsprings, and declared them the result of creation instead of their art; and because of which their descendants have been vainly trying during the past two or three hundred years to discover, or to establish, separate creation for white men and black men; and their laborers have only resulted in shodding the world with a mass of false philosophy and psychology on man in the doctrine of spiritual inheritance. Under the medidian sun of a more enlightened age, many so-called scholars and scientists are becoming more and more ridiculous as the light of reasons more and more exposes their plushianism' efforts to credit creation with the effect of man's art. The greatest need of both races is such a new system of sane philosophy and psychology, based upon fundamental and self-evident truths that every soul which has entered the world body since the creation of Adam, possessed of every human to make any kind of which, every other soul possessed, and that every different disposition seen in man's only the result of the different thought which he has cultivated, as would make them conscious of the fact that they have false conceptions of the causes which are producing their problems. Before he can solve his problems the Afro-American will have to be made conscious of his false conclusions, that the sole cause of his rejection form the city of other men and foreign places in the industrial commercial, political, social world, is his color, false; and before he can solve his problem his white neighbor will have to be conscious that his conclusions the cause of the differences be tween his self-governing principles and his are in the differences of their creation, are false. THE FREEDMAN'S BANK BILL. Rev. James L. White and His Committee. Rev. James L. White, who is fathering the Freedman's Bank Bill, has received a letter from Speaker Champ Clark, informing him that he will receive his committee Thursday, December 14, at 11 o'clock, sharp. The committee will wait on Hon. Harry Lane of Oregon, who introduced the bill at 1 o'clock, a.m. before calling on Speaker Clark. The following is the appeal that has been issued by the Committee of 100: The arrangements have been completed a committee of one hundred or more to call on the Vice President of the United States, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Honorable Harry Lane of Oregon, the Honorable Nathan P. Bryan of Florida, and the leaders of both Houses, to pay their respects to these distinguished statesmen, and to ask immediate consideration of two Emergency Bills—one to make an appropriation for the payment of a cash claim growing out of the Civil War, which amount is $1,291,744.51, due 61,131 dollars. Other to make use of certain moneys growing out of the Civil War, the sum of $200,000 now lying idle in the Treasury. These measures have been considered favorably in previous Congresses, and have unanimously passed the Senate twice. The reports upon these subjects show that they are on balance, but that they lack money, without interest. All representatives (men and women) who are interested in these measures are cordially invited to join the committee on the second Tuesday after the assembling of the Sixty-fourth Congress. The committee will meet in the Senate office building at ten o'clock, to the room of the Committee on Glauca. Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, 1334 V Street, will introduce the committee and speakers, and will have charge of the hearing. All those who would like to speak should be Vice President or the Speaker of the House or the Committee would do us a favor to notify Dr. Waldron, so that the time can be arranged.

The committee therefore recommended that the Bill do pass." that the House Report, 61st Congress, 2nd Session, No. 1282. "This legislation has been recommended by each of the Presidents of the United States since 1888. In the annual message to Congress in 1886, Mr. Cleveland asked Congress to call the attention of Congress to the plain government to the depositers in the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company; this company was chartered by Congress for the benefit of the most illiterate and humble people, and most branches were president over by officers holding their commission and clothing in the uniform of the United States." Mr. Taft in his message to Congress, December 7, 1909, renewed the recommendation in the following language: guage. Recommendations have been made by my predecessors that Congress appropriate sufficient funds to pay the balance—about thirty-eight per cent of the amount due the depositors in the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company, I renew that recommendation. The Committee in both branches adopted these reports, with a favorable recommendation. See the reports herein mentioned. parent Rev. James L.

This meeting was presented at an adjournment on a preliminary meeting at the same place on the afternoon of November 25. Mr. Richard Ware presided. There was a free and informal exchange of views. Several gentlemen present pointed out the deplorable lack of cooperation among various industrial, professional and commercial classes of colored people Washington, and the need for ways and means such cooperation by organization. A number of suggestive were made looking to an effective plan of procedure. It was the existing consensus of opinion that all now existing local business associations should be encouraged and encouraged, however that effort must be infused into now existing organizations, and additional organizations formed as shall be necessary. The idea of the formation of occupational guilds was discussed.

There is urgent need of more buildings throughout the District, and the proposed additions will, if granted greatly relieve the school congestion which is now suffered.—Evening Star Editorial.

Terrell, accompanied by his manager, Mr. Byers, toured Texas on a lecturing tour, have returned to the city after a successful lecturing itinerary through the state of Texas. Manager Byers looks fat and rosy and he informed The Bee Wednesday evening that the Judge was very much fatigued but happy and pleased with his trip. Manager Byers remarked when asked to show his long green, the astute manager remarked, "O, we had all the ovations they needed, more ovations that had long greens, but the amount to pay all expenses. However all classes of citizens, regardless of color or political showed the Judge and showed him the greatest attention. In speaking to the Judge who was seen as usual very busy receiving the congratulations of his friends and admirers, said that he had a great time and his trip was a success. After a quiet repose the Judge felt much better and highly pleased with the treatment he and his manager received in the state of Texas. cerved The Bee enquired of its friend, Architect W.

Mr. Carvin Chase, 1109 Eye St. N. W., Washington D. C. Dear Sir: I want to congratulate you on your answer to President, Wilson's speech of November 4, to the Manhattan Club. If all the supposed "great men" would practice what they preach we would have a glorious country, but instead the United States has won for himself the wqst name of all the nations of the "known world." There is not a nation on earth except the United States that stands for staking a "living being and burning him." The men who burn a man are worse than the man they burn. Well, I am here in Mexico where a man is a man. I am the private physician to the governor of this state — Tamanlipos, Mex. We have colored men here making money and enjoying life as other nations here. We have people here of all nations and each is respected. We have a flightless tanner to tan hides in black man. Will you send me one? We will give him a good price and pay him in gold. I want him at once. A friend sent me your paper. We can not send money from here yet. but I will be able to send it in a few days. The war is about over and we are preparing to make money. I am going to tan hides and make shoes in a few years. I hope to have money in my business. I have one shoemaker but will take one more if he is O. K. If you publish this letter send me a copy. I can, and will if you wish, write often. Yours, JESSE M.

A dispatch from Tuskegee, reporting the demonstrations of respect shown at the funeral of Booker T. Washington, remarks that but two topics were generally discussed both among the people of the institute and the distinguished visitors—the successorship of the principalship of Tuskegee Institute, and President Wilson's inexplicable silence on the occasion of the death of the leader of the Negro race and one of the foremost products of American democracy." No man held a higher place in the esteem of educators and well wishers of the Negro race than Booker Washington. Among his co-workers and friends he numbered many of the most eminent men and women of the nation and, says the Tuskegee dispatch, "as soon as the country had learned of his death last Sunday, the telegrams of sympathy and condolence began to pour into Tuskegee. Among those who sent messages were two ex-Presidents (there are only two, it might be said) and an ex-Vice President, all of whom during their terms of office had given Dr. Washington and his work many evidences of official recognition." The Governor of Alabama expressed the sorrow of the state and the Alabama press spoke generally in similar terms of the sense of loss that was felt among the people. The Tuskegee dispatch goes on to say that— For this reason the people who have gathered here in the past few days have almost without exception commented upon President Wilson's silence and that of his cabinet. With the single exception of Secretary Lane who sent an exceptionally fine letter, a death which is generally considered to have been a national loss seems to have been completely ignored by official Washington. The only excuse advanced is that Mr. Wilson is a Southerner and a Democrat, and may, therefore, well have the traditional feeling of that type against treating the Negro with the same respect as one would a white man; but this excuse, which is not offered or taken at all seriously, seems very flimsy in view of the attitude which the South as a whole has taken towards Dr. Washington's death. Many people here, both white and black, are keenly disappointed and feel that the Chief Executive of this democracy has been singularly backward at, a time when the best element in the South as well as elsewhere has come forward and paid its respect so generously to a national figure. The President omitted an act of common courtesy, without apparent excuse. TO ABOLISH BOARD OF EDUCACTION The legislation proposed to abolish the present Board of Education reads as follows: Philadelphia, Dec. 7, 1915. At the Good Shepherd Children's Mission School, 522 S. Twenty-third street, Miss Montier, superintendent, a Booker Washington Boys' Club was formed last week to perpetuate the memory of the greatest negro leader of our race. Lemuel Hamlett was sentenced to 18 years in the Eastern Penitentiary defense. Both were negroes. Daniel McDougald of Forty-second and Callowhill streets, a white man, was sentenced to two years and six months Friday by Judge Davis for feloniously assaulting 14-year old Edith Hayward, colored, of No. 415 Holly street. One thousand people attended the tenth concert of the People's Choral Society at Musical Fund Hall on Thursday, Dec. 2. An extraordinary fine programme was rendered. Miss Rachel L. Walker of Cleveland, Ohio, was the soloist. Her voice was very flexible and sweet. Our J. Thomas Butler helped to entertain. This chorus is composed of 100 voices. Alfred J. Hill director; S. Bianche Poole and Estella Aiken are accompanyists. Their next concert will be given in March, 1916, when they will render Handel's oratorio, "The Messiah." Helen Hagan, concert pianist soloist, will appear at the Parkway Auditorium, Monday, December 27, accompanied by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Mrs. Mary Ellen Freeman of 1534 N. Twenty-second street is recovering from her recent illness. This will delight her many friends. Mrs. Helen Reddick, aged 52 years, of 2234 Oxford street, died at her on Thursday by Judge McMichael for killing Wesley Allen over a crap game on July 4. His plea was self-home on Wednesday, Dec. 1, of lobar pneumonia, and was buried on Saturday, Dec. 4, from Haven Memorial Church, Rev. Blount officiating. Interment was in Merlon Cemetery. Mrs. Reddick was of a sunny and cheerful disposition, and was surrounded by many friends, who attended the funeral. She leaves a husband and two daughters, Mrs. Wynn and Mrs. Foreman. W. T. GRAY. P. S. John I. Marshall, a well known hotel man of Georgetown, is planning to enter the coal business on a very large scale on the first of the year. Mr. Marshall is a very progressive young young man. His plans are to open his business in the center of the colored neighborhood. Mr. James Bridgett, third waiter in the Gold Room at the Ebbitt, has found black coffee to be a very lucky drink. It seems as if Mr. Bridgett found a large piece of gold in the bottom of his cup while attending a dinner given in his honor lately. The outlook for the hotel business seems very promising for the entire winter. Several very large conventions are booked, and two met at the same time last week—the corn growers and the gas men. Mr. James Winkler has recently resigned his position at the Ebbitt House to take a position in the Post Office Department. Mr. Winkler leaves the Ebbitt with a fine record of his work. The Senate Restaurant has been doing an immense business in the past week. Mr. William Lacey, sr., who has charge of this department, has had his hands full. Mr. Charles Carver has been appointed first captain. Mr. William Lacey, Jr., is a very reliable assistant, and he deserves great credit for his services. He has about thirty waiters and two captains in his charge, not counting the other help. Mr. Edward Barker is doing well as head waiter on the House side restaurant. Mr. Baker is considered one of the finest dining officers in the country. It has been rumored that Mr. Robert Smith; head-wafer for many years at the Homestead, Hot Springs, Va., has recently resigned. Mr. and Mrs. Leon D. Mitchell of 408 S. Capitol street southeast, entertained their sister, Mrs. L. A. Kelley of New York City, on her short visit to the Capitol City, Dec. 5. Mrs. Lee Lacey, who was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital a few weeks ago, is improving rapidly. Mrs. Lacey is the wife of Edward Lacey of Culpepper, Va. The "soap box" ball at Odd Fellows' Hall, last Friday evening, was a very successful affair. The hall was finely decorated with palms for the occasion.

Her mother, Mrs. S. Williams, was also present, wearing one of the season's new gowns of a darker shade. Mr. Taylor Henderson, Col. Linval Myers, Miss Emily Lanier, Mr. McKeever and hosts of others were present. The Cosmos Club bellmen are planning to give a very elaborate reception at Odd Fellows' Hall on Friday evening.

Charles N. Lurie From The Great Play by Elmer Reizenstein... Copyright, 1915, by American Press Association. PROLOGUE. Here is one of the most dramatic novels of modern times and a distinctly American product. Based on one of the great theatrical productions of present fame, it unleashes a flood of human emotions which will sweep the reader irresistibly with it. All the elements of a gripping romance are here, and the ordeal of the principal characters is one that will hold the reader intensely interested from beginning to end. Love and death, trial for life, a melodramatic confession wrung from the tortured soul of a wife and mother, combine to make this story a masterpiece, which will live long in American fiction. CHAPTER I. IE big, gloomy trial room of the criminal branch of the supreme court, part 1. was crowded to the very doors with a throng, of expectant people, lawyers and law clerks, newspaper reporters and artists, business men attracted by the momentousness of the occasion, court attendants, detectives, in plain clothes. And here and there loomed the plumes of feminine headwear worn by women drawn through morbid curiosity to the arena of the penal law, where a man must face his accusers on the dread charge of "murder in the first degree." For months the newspapers had displayed the details of the crime. Extra editions galore had carried screaming headlines concerning the new developments in the case of the people of the state of New York versus Robert Strickland. Indeed, the cause celebre had been commented on so widely that the attorney's for the defendant had moved for a change of venue, arguing that Strickland could not get a fair trial in New York county because any man picked for the jury would have heard or read something detrimental to the accused. It was well known to David THE MUSICIAN Robert Strickland on Trial For His Life. Arbuckle, chief of the counsel for Strickland, that the friends of the dead man had engaged a press agent who had demonstrated noticeable ability in procuring the printing of stories reducting on Robert Strickland, now on trial for his life. False and libelous though these articles were in the mind of Arbuckle and plainly inspired by malicious motives, he felt assured the time had not arrived when Strickland could bring the punitive action he deemed proper. He was under indictment for the greatest of crimes except treason, and that in the eyes of the law is premeditated murder, and not until cleared of that accusation, if it were possible to bring about such an end, would he have opportunity to prove in court what he considered to be his level of responsibility. The prominence of both families concerned, that of the dead man, Gerald Trask, and that of the defendant, Robert Strickland. In addition to the sensational circumstances surrounding the fatal net were responsible for the attention paid to the trial by the always inquisitive public. Strickland, son of a man long identified with the United States diplomatic service in important relations, lead won a creditable position on his own merits in the upper circles of the life of the city, and Trask 1930 District Attorney Gray Watches the Proceedings Closely. was a member of a family controlling one of the largest life insurance companies in the country. He was a banker of big operations and was generally reputed to be one of the most daring and at the same time successful plungers on the Stock Exchange. His wife's diamonds had been frequently described in the society columns of the daily prints on the occasion of her appearances in the gilded, dazzling splurge of the Four Hundred in the "horseshoe" at the Metropolitan Opera House. And so there were reasons why the multitude should be engrossed in the proceedings destined to determine whether or not Robert Strickland, active business man, should be sent to the electric chair in that bare, oblong death chamber on the bleak Hudson hillside always yawning for more victims. It was no ordinary sordid or drunken crime participated in by denizens of the vast metropolitan underworld this time. No. Indeed. Here was a choice morsel, a dainty tibbit, in the way of a criminal prosecution; a case where two of the best known families of the greatest American city were involved. It was admitted on all sides that no indictment since that accusing United States Senator Jeffrey of poisoning his wife was handed down by the grand jury had caused such stir. The selection of the jury proved, as it usually does in a case where capital punishment is involved, a slowly drawn out affair. Some members of the special panel which had been drawn opposed the death penalty and favored life imprisonment for murder. They forgot that even the Book of Holy Writ had laid down the law in this tragic circumstance. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Or perhaps they merely made the assertion as to their belief on the subject in order to be excused from serving. Other talesmen had business engagements out of town or felt that their health would not stand the confinement for days in the stuffy, humid courtroom, but these and similar excuses were brusquely swept aside by the court. The worthy citizens felt better, however, when they were reminded that at the finish of each day's session they would be escorted under guard in an auto to a fashionable hotel uptown and there dined on the closest vlands of the season at the county's expense. One man appealed to the sympathy of the court when he asked to be excused because his mother had died. The judge was on the point of letting him go when, as though the result of a sudden inspiration, he asked the talesman: "Two years are your honor." Two years ago, your donor, "Fined $250 for contempt of court," was the retort of the justice. Gradually, however, the jury box began to fill, and after No. 11 had been accepted by both the prosecutor and Counselor Arbuckle for the defense all heads craned forward as an interesting name was called in the important tones of the clerk of the court. This name was none other than that of John Summers, the multimillionaire manufacturer, who had devoted a large part of his fortune to philanthropic and sociological research work. He glowered uninously at several newspaper reporters who he recollected had haunted him in times past, and then with that prelude accomplished thoroughly to his satisfaction he faced the court. District Attorney Gray began questioning him. "What's your name?" "John Summers." "Mr. Summers, what is your occupation?" "Electrical engineer and manufacturer." "Are you in business for yourself?" "Yes, shr; at 1 Madison avenue, but I no longer take active charge of my business. In a sense I have retired." "Mr. Summers, are you opposed to capital punishment?" "No, not at all." "Do you know Robert Strickland, the defendant in this case? Stand up, Strickland." commanded the prosecutor. Strickland arose. It was now noted that his life area was in a sling. "No," cagae answer. Strickland insumed his seat. "Do you know any one related to him?" continued Gray. "No." "Did you know Gerald Trask, for whose murder trickland is on trial?" pressed Gray. "No; I've often read the gentleman's name in the papers, but I never met him." "Do you know Mrs. Trask, the widow of the murdered man?" "No." "Do you know Stanley Glover, who was Mr. Trask's private secretary at the time of his death?" Gray paused thoughtfully. "Glover? I'm not sure." "Call Mr. Glover," said Gray. An attendant opened a side door and admitted a young man. "Stanley Glover," he pronounced. "This is Mr. Glover," explained Gray. "No; I don't know him." was the reply. "You may retire, Mr. Glover," directed the prosecutor. "Do you know any one associated with the district attorney's office or Mr. Arbuckle, the defendant's attorney?" "No." "Are you familiar with the facts in this case?" "Very slightly. I don't read details of murder cases." replied Summers. "Have you formed any opinion which would prevent you from rendering a A. Gerald Trask, the Man Who Was Slain. fair and impartial verdict?" concluded Gray. "No, sir; I have not." "That's all. Any questions, Mr. Arbuckle?" asked the prosecutor, turning to the attorney of the accused. "Mr. Summers, are you a married man?" asked Arbuckle, rising before the jury box. "Yes, sir; I am." "How many years have you been married?" "The jury is satisfactory, your honor," concluded Arbuckle abruptly. "Satisfaction to you Mr. Gurk" ask secretary, thanks to whose bravery the assassin was disarmed and captured, and who gave us literary assis. if we in linking up the chain of evidence against him. "Not one of the acts is disputed. Strickland, realizing the futility of interposing a defense, has refused"—Arbuckle rose hastily. "I object to that," he cried to the court. "Counsel will not interrupt." ordered Dinsmore. "Strickland, I say," went on Gray, "has refused to make any effort to defend himself. When he was arraigned"—Arbuckle broke in again. "I object to that." "Counsel will not interrupt." repeated the judge. Gray continued: "When he was arraigned, he pleaded guilty to the indictment of murder in the first degree; perhaps, gentlemen, you ask, if this is so, why are we here? Why is the county put to the expense of the trial? An expense which we taxpayers must meet in the end. Why must you business men be taken from your occupations—be compelled to lose your valuable time? "Why is not the penalty allotted to murderers inflicted upon the defendant? And in answer to that I say to you because, gentlemen, the state is jealous of the lives of her citizens. To her the existence of an individual is sacred no matter if he be deprived, degenerate, possessed of criminal instinct, dangerous to society. She will not allow even a self confessed murderer to be put to death until twelve of his fellow citizens sitting in solemn judgment calmly, dispassionately hearing and weighing the facts, have decreed that that man shall suffer the consequences of his crime. That is why we are here today, gentlemen. "That is why his honor has assigned such distinguished counsel to defend Strickland, and that is why before we ask you to visit upon this defendant the punishment he merits we shall by the unimpeachable testimony of eyewitnesses convince you of his guilt beyond the peradventure of a doubt. "Unfortunately his partner in crime has made good his escape. But the greater criminal is in 'our hands, gentlemen. "We can make him pay the penalty of the law. I shall take up no more of your time. The facts will speak for themselves." Gray seated himself, mopping perspiration from his forehead. Arbuckle calmly and dispassionately opened for the defense. "Gentlemen of the jury, when his honor assigned me to the defense of this case it seemed to me that the prosecution's theory was untenable." he began. "I knew Mr. Strickland by reputation, and I scouted the burglary hypothesis. This belief strengthened as I became better acquainted with Mr. Strickland. A man of superlative honor and integrity, equipped with a splendid mentality and an excellent reputation, not addicted to bad habits or expensive luxuries, devotedly attached to his wife and child—that is not the sort of man who breaks into his friend's house for the purpose of theft. "The case seemed to me to be not nearly so clear and simple as my friend, Mr. Gray, makes it out to be. But despite my certainty that there lurked a mystery in this grim affair I could learn nothing that would aid me in substantiating my belief. As my friend has told you, Mr. Strickland has maintained throughout an obstinate, unbreakable silence. In all my years at the bar, gentlemen. I have never encountered any one who has declined so resolutely to yield to persuasion. Threats, entreaties and logic allike have left him indifferent." Arbuckle stepped up and leaned over the jury box. "At last I reached the conclusion that Strickland was shielding some one, most likely the unknown accomplice A. Mrs. Joan Trask. who assaulted Mrs. Trask and broke open the safe. In the hope of learning the identity of this man and if possible Strickland's motive in shielding him I endeavored to locate the members of Strickland's family. "Judge of my surprise, gentlemen, when I learned that the defendant's wife had disappeared from home on the night of the tragedy and has not since been heard from. All my attempts to find her have been fruitless. I have been forced to believe that she took her life. I did succeed in finding Doris, the little daughter of the defendant.

Weeks is today the greatest asset of the republican party. We can win triumphantly next year with Senator Weeks as our standard bearer. A strong, public sentiment is crystalizing, republicans in all walks of life are talking about the Massachusetts statesman. He is the man that the rank and file believe can lead the Grand Old Party to victory. Probably no man in public life knows more what is needed for our National defense than Senator Weeks, being a graduate from the Naval Academy and a close student for years of the needs of an army and Navy that would be a credit to a great government like the United States. He is American to the core, believing that Americans should be protected in all foreign countries and the American flag be respected wherever it is unfurled. When a member of the House of Representatives Mr. Weeks was chairman of the Committee on Post offices and Post Roads. He placed upon the statute books the eight-hour law for post office clerks, also the compensatory law for clerks, and the automatic yearly salary promotion law for clerks and letter carriers. This was the most constructive and beneficial legislation that was ever given a class of government employees. This law has stood the test of democratic juggling and every postal employee remembers gratefully their benefactor. Senator Weeks has been a prominent member of the following Senate Committees: Banking and Currency, Coast Defenses, Philippines, Public Health and National Quarantine. The tariff question will be the paramount issue in the presidential campaign. The business interests and wage earners of the country would give an enthusiastic support to a protectionist statesman. Here is a preparedness for the high office of President a very few men possess. If the republicans will show their old time horse sense and political judgment, they will go to New England for their Presidential candidate, for she has the man of the hour—John, Wingate Weeks. RACE HUMILIATION. It has been the observation of the Bee for some time that the cause of the humiliation of the colored American is the appointment of colored men to office who are willing and ready to submit to any and all kinds of humiliation for self aggrandizement. This obtains greatly among certain colored men from the South. When one is appointed to office, he invariably allows the white deputy to run his office. They very seldom exercise any authority if they see their deputy in the wrong. The worst apology for a head of a presidential office has been, to a great extent, witnessed in this city. The Southern Negro looks wise to be sure, and that is all. There may be a few exceptions, but you must take a microscope to find that exception. Some men who can cry the loudest and make the greatest noise are very often placed in some of the best positions. This city has experienced some of the most diabolical acts of Negro humiliation than any other city in the United States. Just why every administration continues to dump upon the people in this city incompetent Southern Negro politicians who couldn't be elected to a chimley sweeper position if there was no other competition in the field. The Bee means the kind that almost every administration thrusts upon the tax payers in this city. Every outside Negro politician can see no other position than the office of recorder of deeds for the District. of Columbia. These candidates have no earthly interest in the welfare of this city than to draw a salary and allow a second class white man to run his office. Some of these Negro office holders are too cowardly to resent an insult or allow his colored subordinates to resent an insult. This has been the cause of so much race humiliation among colored Americans. Some of them become so impudent and bold that they come to this city to dictate our local politics. The Bee gives this warning that, if any of those individuals attempt to interfere with our local politics during the coming election of delegates to the next National Republican Convention, they will be painted in varigated colors. The Republicans in this city, white, and black, are able to manage their own affairs without interference of political blacklegs from states where they are political nonentities. BYRON POTTER HARRISON ocratic Senator or Representative wants to be known or to get his name in the daily press he will introduce a "Jim Crow" bill of some tune. Democrats cannot become notorious politically until they introduce an abusive measure against the Negro. Now, here is a man from Mississippi, by the name of Byron Potter Harrison. No one heard of him until he arrived in this city and began to inform his hayseed constituents that he had arrived in Washington, introduced in the House this week a separate compartment measure or a "Jim Crow" car bill. Certainly The Bee would not have known that Mississippi Harrison had arrived if he had not introduced this "Jim Crow" bill. Mr. Harrison hasn't much of a political record and the record he has made was right in his own county as a prosecutor and being a member of a few beneficial organizations towit: E. A. E. Fraternity W. O. W., whatever that is; Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Elks and Masons. He was district attorney of six counties at the time he ran for congress. The Bee doesn't record any famous case which gave him a national legal reputation. His next move no doubt will be to put all Negro Knights of Pythians out of commission. The Bee congratulates this great Southern stateman on his maiden bill. He should have it embalmed. COMMISSIONERS IN CON TROL The recommendations of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia for the transfer of the schools to their control and to abolish the present Board of Education has the hearty support of the great mass of thoughtful citizens of this community. The schools ought never to have been taken from the control of the Commissioners. Since the present form of government was begun, and until 1906, the schools had always been under the control of the Commissioners and the members of the Board of Education were appointed by them. It cannot be said that the recommendation of the Commissioners is partisan, because it follows very closely recommendations made by Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, and by the Reynold's Report on the same subject. The Bee has insisted all the time that this change would come, both because it was logically and scientifically the right thing, and in the interest of efficient and responsible administration, as well as because conditions now existing in the schools require it. Under the legislation proposed by the Commissioners all the teachers are protected in their present positions, and will not have to be reappointed. So there is no need of fear or activity of any kind on the part of the teachers. On no account should a teacher now in the schools permit himself to be made use of in the effort that The Bee learns certain discredited interests will make to defeat the recommendation of the Commissioners. FIVE DOLLAR PRIZE FOR BEST ARTICLE The Bee gives the stamp of its approval to the recently inaugurated movement of Mr. Richard Ware and others to improve the industrial, commercial and general economic status of the local colored population, by means of greater mutual cooperation, in all legitimate and proper ways. We have here about 100,000 colored people. Are they doing the best they might in all industrial, commercial lines? If not, why not? Is there any remedy? How best can the remedy be applied? In order to stimulate interest in, and bring forth the best thoughts on, these questions, The Bee will pay Five Dollars ($5.00) in gold for the best short article or essay on the subject presented at The Bee Office by my student of the M Street High School, the Arm- sring Manual Training School or the Miner Normal School, this city. Conditions of the Contest! 1. Each article to be headed "What's the Matter with Colored Wash- ing? Cooperation the Answer." 2. The article to contain not over 1,000 words, exclusive of heading and signature. 3. The article to be pritten on one side of the sheet or sheets. 4. The main test of merit to be substance rattier than style. 5. All articles to become the property of The Bee, which reserves the right to print any or all of them in its columns at any time. 6. The article must be in The Bee office on or before December 31, 1915. 7. The prize article to be printed on the first page of The Bee soon after the award is made. 8. The prize winner to call at The Bee office for the Five Dollars in Gold. DR. C. W. CHILDS Because a man commits one blunder in his official career there is no reason why he should be condemned for all of his good acts and the good that he has done for others. Let the writer in last week's Bee admit that Dr. Childs committed a blunder, has he not, and is he not making a good member of the board of education? He is the most manly mugger and one of the most competent men the people have ever had on the board of education. 'There is no deception in him and has never been. He never betraps his friends, but he often helps his enemies when he can. He has always and at all times helped the needy. The Bee has no favors to ask him, but it does like to see a man given credit for what he is doing for his people, although it disagrees with him in some instances. His greatest mistake today is his effort to save a sinking ship which is almost at the bottom of public condemnation.' He is not a race abasement society of which The Bee spoke in another article on humiliation. He doesn't belong to that class. He is an exception to Southern Negro office holders in this city as far as race humiliation is concerned. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE The National Republican Committee will meet Tuesday, December 14th, at which time the date and place will be named for the holding of the National Republican Committee. It is quite likely it will name Chicago, Illinois, for the holding of the National Republican Committee. The outlook points to Senator Weeks of Massachusetts as the next president of the United States. There is one thing certain, the colored vote will be a factor in the North and West in the coming presidential election and they should be consulted and given a man in whom they have confidence and he is Sepator Weeks. The National Committee will name Chicago, it is believed. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS. Mr. Marshal's store is doing well. The people in this section have decided to support him. The citizens of Prince George county will petition the board of county school commissioners for a new supervisor. The so-called new on-time rules have been given to the teachers of Fairmont school. Unless there is a change in the supervisorship of Prince George county, a movement will be started to have the children to withdraw from the school. The new Citizens Association will be composed of good and strong men. Col. Stewart M. Lewis will spend a few days in New York during the Christmas holidays. Miss Cropper and Mrs. Lewis are two of the hardest workers in Fairmount Heights. The Northeast suburbs are to have a choral club, the prime mover being Mrs. F. M. Addison of Fairmount Heights, at whose call several persons met at the M. E. Church in Fairmount Heights, D. C., last week. Prof. W. A. Adams, national president of the Federation of Choirs and Musicians, who was invited out to organize them, was present and succeeded in forming; the choral temporarily with the following officers: President, Mrs. F. M. Addison; secretary, Mrs. H. H. Cardozo; and the following enrollment of members: Miss Louise Marshall, Blanche Beane, Mr. A. E. Briscoe, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Broks, Mrs. A. D. Washington, Mrs. L. E. Crouse, Mrs. Patterson, Miss Bessie Patterson, Mrs. A. Jones, Miss Inez Davis, Mr. Carter Marshall, Mr. W. H. Addison, Mr. and Mrs. Locker; with the promise of a goodly number more joining at the next meeting, which will be held at the church, Thursday evening this week. BRENTWOOD Wellington A.. Adams was entertained sumptuously last Sunday afternoon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Randall and daughters of Brentwood, Md., who own excellent homes. Prof. Adams also addressed the new singing club, Mr. Blake, president, at the A. M. E. Zion Church and aired a deal of enthusiasm for a permanent music club in Brentwood, Md. GARFIELD SCHOOL NOTES A meeting of the Garfield Home and School Association was held in the principal's office last Monday night, at which time officers were elected as follows: President, Mrs. Emma C. Thornton; vice-president, Mrs. Wm. H. Lewis, Jr.; secretary; Mrs. Mattle J. Carroll. Mr. H. Wythe Lewis announced at the beginning of the meeting that it was his wish that he be relieved from the office of president, as he had held said office since the formation of the association. Plans were formulated to raise funds for the immediate relief of pupils who needed shoes and clothing. Upon suggestion of Mr. Lewis, it was decided to organize a choral society in connection with the association. The suggestion was well received, and he was given permission to proceed at once to its organization. Mr. Lewis said that he thought it would be a good plan to study the beautiful oratorio, "The Daughter of Jaïrus," or some other work, and produce the same sometime in April. The meeting adjourned to convene again on the 16th inst. The Noon Hour Club of the Garfield School held its regular meeting Dec. 10, 1915, at 3:15 p. m., instead of at the noon hour. The main objects of this club are (1) to bring educational problems of the day before the teachers and to discuss them from a professional standpoint; (2) encourage public speaking. The subjects under discussion were as follows: 1. "Interest," by Miss M. E. Hite. 2. "How to secure good attendance," by Mss E. B. Adams. 3. "Some help in teaching composition in the elementary schools," by Mr. W. Wythe Lewis. Maj. W. Walker, the supervising principal, has attended some of the meetings of this club; and has never failed to inspire and offer many valuable suggestions.

HSS - CAG: | Se mark was occasioned by the fact that when Dr. Washington ‘was living, and }a mighty power with a pair of presi- ‘dents of this old land of the free and the brave, he never arrived in town but what there wasn’t a bunch of sat- alites what was ready to banquet and dine him-on the fat of the land. Now {hears from many cities and: towns. throughout this mundaye sphere. what is holding memorial meetings for him, but there aint been no move inthis berg. as I can hear, by his old time {fries to put on a memorial stunt. 1 heard Bl Houston say the.other day that he gut a program of a monster memorial niveing held for Dr. Wash- ington out in Columbus, Ohio, and ‘that the governor of the-state, Dr. Washington Gladden, and other big lights, both: Iily-whites and the coal ‘tar complexlonists were present. Course everybody round this neck o'the woods’ sort of had a hunch that Ralph Tyler was a moving factor, and they ‘knew right off the bat that that Buckeye prodict was just-as loyal to the memory of Dr.. Booker T. as he was. to him’ when living. Chase fre- quently told me that Tyler was one ot them there true-blue, — insolable frends who might be a little quick on the trigger at times, but always’ the same toa friend. I'd be willing to bet a round of smokeless amunition ‘for the Alles that if Tyler was in Wash- ington, this old berg would have let off with the biggest memorial held in the land for the late head of .Tuske- gee, cause he was always busy-for a friend, 1 use to hand Brother Tyler out a-bunch of criticism now and then with a few other nondescripts around here, but after -he dugout for Ohfo, and sort of absolved -himself from things around here, we all woke up to the fact that after all he was'a pretty good Indian, and a fellow. that helped more peoplé than helped him. Last week Ireferred to the fact thiat very few of ‘the one-time “Black Cabint” still remaining here, and the hanger-ons and worshippers of’ the “Black Cabinet” went to the funeral. Some people, when, they. read my dope said I was a little raw in my crititism. Now I sort of feel that.the man who befriends you when living ought to be remembered after he quits this veil of tears. I reckon a few around here whom the. Doctor helped: might have the price of a ticket and gone to the funeral, if they nursed a little of grat- itude. ‘I believed it was: Sam Jack son who once said, a short. time be- fore he cashed in, “Ive helped a Jot of cross-country" runners . around” here, and blowed my salary on ‘em for years, but I'll bet when old Gabriel toots her horn for me to come, I'll be forgot as soon as they hear of my death certificate bein’ granted by the board of health.” And Sany was about right, Believe me. I like them: there | kitid of friends what’ sticks to you when you are in a “posish” to nand | ‘em out a favor, and.are just as stuck on you when you aint got ‘no candy “double-barrelled-long-filler. and” com- pound glue friends.

But T cant figure out why a physician with | a nice practice, and a long lst of friends wants to-get into one of these scrimmages around here for delegate to the convention. A fellow is sure to make enemies, and what's in it after you. done ianded the empty honor? Runnin’ for delegate from the Dis- trict here always reminds me of the fellow what wasted about 4-11-44 dol- lars playin’ billiards to get the “draw” and the “follow” shots down ‘to a ‘nat’s heal” and after he’ got so he could make It even.on one of. thein’ ragged cushin tables a friend asked | nim: “Now you got it what you gonna | Jo with im?" and he replied:“Search | me!" “My advice to Doc.

And in this connection ‘I might say that the “Sage” may enter the. list, cause there aint no squalk around here that's got less to lose'than the “Sage.” Now that Congress is.down to sane it Is believed that they will put through a. bill’ to’ take. the public: schools out of the hands of the board of education, and when they does do this, the prestige of the “smoke” what happens to get appointed on. the hoard, Uke Othello's’ callin’, will be gorie.” Now take my friend Doe.

Motormen and conductors on street cars have no right to use force in an attempt to make passengers move forward in crowded street cars as long as there is room in the aisle, for people to pass by, according to a ruling made Monday, by the District, Court of Appeals in affirming a judgment of $1,000 damages in favor of William A. Morgan against the Capital Traction Company. Morgan alleged in his suit against the company that, "after he had surrendered his seat to a lady he moved forward and grasped the brass handle on the first cross seat near the front." He declared that people were hanging to the straps in front and behind him, but maintained that there was ample room for passengers to pass. He acknowledged that he refused to move forward when requested to do so by the motorman and declared that "the motorman jumped back and grabbed him around the neck and dragged him to the front and said, "You will stand there, won't you?" The case was taken to the Court of Appeals by the company on the ground that the lower court erred in allowing certain instructions sought by the plaintiff. M Street High School team defeat ed, the Howard Freshman. College team Monday afternoon by the score of 6 to 0. Playing a staunch defensive game, the high school lads took advantage of the breaks of the game and won. The Freshman eleven comprised several all-high stars of previous years and with their strong players presented a superior team, but better headwork won for M street. The ball failed to cross the goal line on a punt From M Street's kicker and Howard lost the chance for a touchdown.

M Street High School upset the dope by defeating Armstrong Manual Training School football team by the score of 6 to 0 in their annual contest on the gridiron in the Vigilant Football Park Thanksgiving morning. Again it was the greased fingers of Parker of Armstrong that again permitted defeat for Tech. Playing a hard defensive game, M street surprised its, most hopeful adherents when in the early moments of play it was seen that the Armstrong team was unable to make a quick rush to victory. And as the game went on, Parker's kicking and Bacon's masterful handling of punts kept the ball in M Street's territory, but the very remarkable playing of Diggs, Coston and Barnes offset this work. Far and above other performers was the work of M Street's pair of tackles, Coston and Diggs, who were all over the field. Adams kicked well but not so long as Parker. Holton played well in center and Hayes of M Street, although in a new position, did well. Hamilton also did well. The score of the game was recorded when Parker, starting on a run around the end, missed the ball directed to him from center and Coston who had been shooting in on everything, caught the ball on the bound and ran thirty yards for a touch down.

Students in the Territorial Normal and Training School, in Honolulu, have had, for a number of years, systematic training in various lines of vocational work—cooking, sewing, dressmaking, millinery, carpentry, printing, etc. All the Hawaiian schools are feeling the outside pressure for "practical results" as are schools throughout America. This utilitarian demand has extended into every ramification of the public-school system. The College of Hawaii, which corresponds in status to the state universities of the mainland, is placing strong emphasis upon its technical courses—sugar technology, engineering, and plantation agriculture. It is endeavoring to relate itself to the local industries. The schools of the Territory, from college to primary grade, are striving as never before to produce a citizenship that can do the daily work of Hawaii. During the past school year this work has been much strengthened by giving such students practice work in teaching these vocational subjects. Under a volunteer system they are sent out daily in rotation, one to each of the large elementary schools in Honolulu, where each is given charge of a cooking or carpentry department. These cadet teachers are under the supervision of the district vocational instructors. They are given credit towards graduation for this work in practice teaching. These cadets, after having actually managed the vocational departments in the larger schools, will, upon graduation from the normal school, be competent to handle such work in the schools to which they are assigned. This system is working admirably, and in a few years Hawaii will have a corps of well-trained vocational instructors, better fitted to cope with local conditions than teachers imported from the mainland.—Southern Workman.

On every side are contrivances for man's Dec. 5. — Pastor Russell delivered a masterly address today, from the text, "What hath God wrought!" (Numbers 23:23.) He declared that we are living in the most wonderful period of human history. On every side are contrivances for man's blessing. Evidently the time is near when all the world may enjoy release from excessive toil and hardship. So gradually have these blessings come that we scarcely realize what progress has been made. Twenty-five hundred years ago, the Pastor explained, the Bible foretold these blessings, as characteristic of "The Time of the End." (Daniel 12:4.) Bible students find that this period began with 1799 A. D. For more than a century we have been living in "The Time of the End." This phrase means, not the end of the world, but of the reign of Sin and Death. We are entering a New Era, in which all the evil conditions of the past six thousand years will terminate. Soon earth's great Sabbath, the Golden Age of prophet and bard, will be ushered in. While these blessings are designed for all, yet because of man's ingrained selfishness they have gravitated into the hands of a few. This has caused pride on one side and jealousy on the other. As a result, an impressible conflict is about to be precipitated. Already we see a great war of nations, each endeavoring to get the lion's share of the blessings which God has provided in these bitter days. The nations have become jealous and envious of one another as they see opportunities of wealth and power opening up; and this gruesome conflict has resulted. Present Blessings From God.

The speaker urged his audience not to lose sight of the fact that our wonderful blessings did not come by man's ingenuity, that just as brilliant men have, lived in the past, but that God is letting in the light of the dawning New Dispensation. Behind this is another thought. If in their imperfect condition mankind can accomplish so much, what will they do when made perfect under Messiah's Kingdom? Then again, if God's feeble creatures can accomplish so much, who can measure the power of the Almighty-perfect in Wisdom, Justice, Power and Love? When we consider what God huth wrought in connection with humanity we are still more astonished. The human body can oil, feed and manipulate itself, can think for itself, can direct its own course. If mankind could make such a machine, they would have something of which to be proud. When we realize that all our wonderful inventions are but imperfect copies of our Creator's works, that man merely uses principles which God has employed in the past, we see clearly that man was made an earthly image of his Heavenly creator. Light Breaking Through Darkness. The Pastor showed that, while we have realized God's Wisdom and Power as manifested in nature, we have been seriously handicapped by false doctrines grossly misrepresenting our Creator as devoid of Justice and Love. These misceptions came down from the Dark Ages. But the incoming Age is scattering the ignorance and superstition of the past, and is bringing in the light on the knowledge of God's glory - Halakkak 2:14. To see this clearly we must look in the right direction. There are people today who are looking toward the west for the sunrise. We see learned men who have knowledge on many subjects making the mistake of thinking that Evolution is our God and, not seeing an intelligent God, holding that Evolution is man's only hope—that ultimately there will be "the survival of the fittest." Think of present conditions in Europe. The fittest are falling in battle. The unit are left at home to propagate the families of the future. Evolutionists do not stop, to think that at the present rate of increase the world would one day be vastly overcrowded, that coal and oil fields would be exhausted, and that a limit would be reached in other directions—that things cannot continue at the present rate for any length of time. But the Bible points out that man's extremity will be God's opportunity. After permitting mankind to have all these blessings of our day, He will allow them to dash themselves to pieces in a great cataclysm of trouble; to make shipwreck of all their boasted twentieth century civilization. But before mankind's complete destruction, Messiah's Kingdom will intervene and speak peace to the earth. After the storm there will be great calm. Christ and His church will be God's Channel for the restoration of whosoever will of all mankind. THE CINEMA WATCH THIS SPACE NEXT WEEK FOR SOME BARGAINS IN WATCHES, DIAMONDS, JEWELRY SELINGER'S MFG.
