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. 41 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1916 A GREAT INVENTOR CHARLES V. RICHEY. The Greatest Colored Inventor of the Age—Telephone and Various Devices Unsurpassed—His Devices Are Being Considered by the Greatest Flames in This Country. From several years of tedious work and experience along mechanical and electrical lines, Mr. Charles V. Richey has succeeded in inventing and perfecting several instruments which will no doubt attract the attention of the country. Notable among the recent are as follows: A device adapted to be used telephone lines placed at the subscribers' end of the line which will record every call sent out therefrom, also it is adapted to be locked by the pressure of a button, thereby preventing any calls being sent out in the absence of the subscriber without his order, but does not prevent anyone from receiving calls or messages in the said subscribers absence. Another device for telephone purposes which is adapted to be used on party lines whereby parties on the same line are prevented from listening to each other's conversation. Another device for telephone purposes adapted to be so connected to the line that at the will of the operator any subscriber on either a direct or party line may be temporarily disconnected instantly, also they may be restored likewise. Still another device, mechanically and electrically classed, adapted to be used in connection with player pianos, so arranged and constructed that the patron at will may select and play any piece upon the roll without playing pieces preceding the same, also said patron may repeat said piece at will without having to rewind the whole music roll. This device of course is adapted principally to be used on the "coin in the slot" type of pianos, and especially to the Wurlitzer type which is provided with a series of rolls of music placed in an RICHEY'S TELEPHONE DEVICE, One of the greatest inventions in existence. automatic roll changer thereon, and operated automatically. The other types, of course, contain a single large roll of music, still the said device is adapted to the work of either. The telephone device referred to is covered by several patents, some of which are owned by the Phone-Call-Recorder Company, a corporation of the state of Delaware, of which I am president, with the main office in this city. Arrangements have been made with the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, 15 Dey street, New York city, New York, of which the Chesepeake and Potomac Telephone Co. of this city, forms a part, for the temporary installation of some of said telephone devices for their general consideration, which will be done upon my return to New York next week. I might add that the officers and directors of the Phone-Call-Recorder Company, with two exceptions, are composed of men of the Caucasian race, and whose present business consist of banking, etc., the stockholders of which are located in the District of Columbia, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and other states. The question as to the use of said devices has been taken up and agitated in New York city by several millionaires, and ex-chairmen of the New York public service commission; also several gentlemen who have the honor of being state senators of New York, and they all heartily approve the use of such a device in that state, and are anxiously awaiting the results of the present negotiations with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company before deciding whether, or compel the telephone company with the state of New York to add such measures as would provide this subscriber as outlined in the device herein mentioned, but as the matter looks now, that the telephone company in the absence of such a measure see the wisdom of ascertaining it. I can safely say that there will be no drastic steps taken until their report shall have been rendered. The piano device referred to on which I am now taking out Letters Patent, shall be, under the present plans, turned over to the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, the largest manufacturers in the world, of automatic musical instruments, with houses cated in Cincinnati, Louisville, City, San Francisco, Rochester, Pasadena, Cleveland, Albany, Pontiac Ohio; St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio; Milwaukee, Syracuse, Detroit, end, as 40th and Broadway, New York city. The New York city establishment, of course, is where this device connected to planos will be placed on exhibition for the benefit of the Wurtitzer purchasers, and I am not certain whether or not the other plano manufacturing concerns will be privileged to use this form of device. The Wurtitzer Company is planning to purchase this device after a thorough examination of the patent claims, but as yet there has been no set price fixed, though he has been approached with the question of five thousand dollars per year to be paid him by them. should he care to accept, to purchasing said device provided, however, that he will agree to give said Wurtitzer Co., the right to own without further payment, all improvements which he may hereafter make upon musical instruments while in their employ, and that he must agree that he will use his best efforts to make improvements upon their various types of instruments. This question, of course, remains unanswered pending a decision in the purchase in the rights of this device. He has completed various forms of devices, notable among the many is one of which he has never publicly disclosed, but the same he perfected and carefully layed away quite sixteen years ago. This device, of course, has never been presented to the United State Patent Office for the reason that he has been awaiting certain opportunities which has now begun to present themselves, and he can assure the public that within a reasonable time that he shall permit them to read columns of the general press as to what this great device consists of, as it is device which has, up to the present, puzzled the greatest scientists. The Bee desires to state for the benefit of his friends, that for further details from time to time, setting forth progress in these matters, you will please read The Washington Bee. WASHINGTON FIRST "FOLK-SONG FESTIVAL" Unique Innovation Made Possible by Miss Marie A. D. Madre—Signal Achievement by Bethey Literary Paintaking and Energetic Chief Executive—Mme. Hackley's Marvelous Work and Teacher and Director—A Perfect Chorus in Eight Days' Training—J. Rosamond Johnson Given an Ovation—Miss Lee Scores Heavily as Contrata—"Folk-Song Festival" Established as an Annual Event. Mme. E. Azalla Hackley, Chicago big-hearted and ever-generous queen of song and instructress par excellence, last week again "came, saw and coquered" the musical devotees of the nation's capital—the second time within a month. She leaves this city with the plaudits of a grateful citizenry ringing in her ears. The latest triumph of the fair diva was the training and direction of Washington's first "Folk-Song Festival," and leading to the front rank of artistic perfection in eight days nearly 200 singers who had never worked to gather at any previous period. So cordially was this truly American music received that it has been decided to make the "Folk-Song Festival" an an nual event in the courses offered by Bethel Literary and arrangements have already been entered into by which Mme. Hackley is to return next spring to cheer anew and on a larger scale the souls of the many friends she has made during her recent visits here. Washington's First "Folk-Song" Recital. Spacious Metropolitan A. M. E. Church was packed to the doors on last Tuesday evening with a throng of music lovers, anxious to hear the "Folk-Song Festival," the first of its kind ever held in this city. The affair was under the general supervision of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, and was planned and created by the society's far-visioned ever-original president, Miss Marie A. D. Madre. Cultured Washington turned out on mass, as a glance at the enormous number of patrons will show, in museums, school and many musical and fraternal organizations being largely represented. The chorus of nearly 200 voices was trained by Mme. Hackley in just eight days of hard and strenuous work, but it is the popular verdict that had she trained them eight weeks the result could not have been more satisfactory. In point of harmony; volume and artistic interpretation, the 'singing has never been excelled on any similar occasion in the nation's capital, and the WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1916 [Name] CHARLES V.

Gathered from the various choirs and standard musical organizations of the vicinity, the remarkable aggregation typified the high-water mark of Negro achievement in the arena of folk-song presentation. The degree of perfection attained by them with the limited time allowed for rehearsal, stamps the singers as 'genuises' for music and establishes Mme. Hackley as one of the "wizards" of the times as a teacher and director. Mary L.

A Glad Hand for Miss Madre, The credit for the very enjoyable entertainment and for inaugurating an annual event that promises much for the music lovers of the race is due in the largest measure to the energetic and painstaking efforts of Miss Marle A. D. Madre, who in her five years of unprecedented success a president of the nation-wide forum Bethel Literary and Historical Assoc J. Rosamond Johnson Under the Calcium. A distinctive feature of the festival was the appearance of Prof. J. Rosamond Johnson, of New York, now executive officer of the Music Settlement School of that city, and known to the country at large as the junior member of the once famous theatrical team of Cole & Johnson, who loomed large for many years in the field of musical comedy and Negro character study. The world will never forget "The Red Moon" and "The ShooFly Regiment," Cole & Johnson's greatest feat in stage land. Mr. Johnson received an ovation when introduced by Miss Madre. He rendered two of his favorite selections, "Lil Gal," (words by Paul Laurence Dunbar), and his popular success, "Under the Bamboo Tree," besides contributing a speech, that was the "last word" in felicity of expression and good fellowship. He paid a lofty tribute to the unselfish labors of Mme. Hackley for the musical uplift of the Negro people and confessed that she had given him the inspiration that led him to embark in the same line of effort and to found in New York the Music Settlement School, where there is an "open door" to the ambitious youth of the race, just as exists at Mme. Hackley's thriving Normal Institute in Chicago.

A Glad Hand for Miss Madre. The credit for the very enjoyable entertainment and for inaugurating an annual event that promises much for the music lovers of the race is due in the largest measure to the energetic and painstaking efforts of Miss Marle A. D. Madre, who in her five years of unprecedented success as president of the nation-wide forum, Bethel Literary and Historical Association, has been foremost among her people in affording Washington the opportunity of seeing and appreciating the best thoughts and artistic endeavors among the negroes of the country. Her platform has also been graced by some of the ablest and most influential of the white statesmen and intellectual leaders of the world. In addition to her laudable labors as chieftain of the Bethel Literary Society, Miss Madre is the official head of the Women's Federation of the District, is an efficient teacher in the public schools, a graduate of the Law Department of Howard University and an active factor in the Woman's Relief Corps of the Department of the Potomac, auxiliary to the G. A. R. She has set a pace that will try the mettle of any successor. Just before the close of the program Miss. Madre came forward to the platform and was greeted with a tremendous salvo of applause, recognition of her success as manager of the festival and of her many kindnesses to the participants. She was attired in a radiant Parisian gown, which fitted her queenly figure to perfection. From head to foot she was a shimmer of dainty embroidery, lace and other accessories, set off showers of rhinestones, Miss Madre's speech of thanks was a literary gem. Some of the Big Numbers.

Another quartet of rich quality was made of Messrs. E. N. Broadax, J. H. Marshall, E. H. Harris and J. T. Thornton, captured the house by its rendition of "Shout All Over God's Heaven." As an extra added attraction, Miss Pauline James Lee, the famous Chicago contraitio, assistant to Mme. Hackley at the Vocal Normal Institute, gave two charming numbers, "Morning, Noon and Night," by J. Rosmond Johnson, and "The Awakening," by J. Welden Johnson, and sustained her reputation as a premier vocalist, with a tone range that is a revelation. The Rich Program in Detail.

Dr Childs made no denial when he approached on the subject. CREATES SENSATION Miss Cooper Gives Superliving Principal J. F. Armatrong a Tongue Thrailing—The Eloquent Little Woman Defends the Memory of Her Dead Sister and Points the Cold Finger of Death at Her Accuser, Squirmed at Her Piercing Costigation. Upper Marlboro, Md., March 7, 1916.—Accompanied by her brother and mother, Miss Beatrice Cooper, sister of the late Miss Mary Cooper, a teacher in the Fairmount Heights School, arrived here from Washington in an automobile and went direct to the court house where the Prince George County Board of Education was assembled. After having successfully transacted the business for which the young lady went, she was granted permission to deliver a message from her parents and defend the memory of her dead sister which was done in most eloquent terms and firm English vernacular. Miss Cooper is a graduate of Washington Normal school No. 2, and from her language you would presume that she was educated in Edenburg or some other classic college. The board room was filled with teachers from all over the county. The colored supervisor was acting door keeper for the board. Heretofore he always remained in the room and took part in its deliberations. Today the program was changed and this polished young lady, with piercing and penetrating eyes, addressed the members of the board, and said: The Message of Death. Mr. E. S. Borrowough and other members of the Board of Education, I wish to thank you for your kindness and to express to you on behalf of my family our highest appreciation and esteem for the kindnesses and courtesies shown our late daughter and sister. Before going further, I wish to state that I am here this morning at her request to deliver a message which she herself would have delivered to you this coming April, had not Divine Providence called her to a better land. I therefore ask for a few minutes to deliver this message to you. To the members of the Board of Education I will again say that we bear you no malice, no hard feeling; nothing but appreciation and high esteem; but there is one working among you for whom we have not this esteem and appreciation. This person is Mr. James F. Armstrong. At the time my sister was appointed to the Fairmount Heights public schools there were two teachers—the principal and the first assistant; she making the third teacher. The first and second assistants taught in the same room. I ask that you bear this statement in mind, "(that two teachers taught in one room)." Shortly after this the first assistant resigned, leaving the two teachers, the principal and my sister who was then the first assistant. At this time she had a separate room, which was made very pleasant at her own and her family's expense. Shortly after this—I might say a little more or a little less than a year, a third teacher was appointed to the Fairmount Heights public school. For two or...I might say, no more than three months, this new teacher taught in my sister's room. It was at this time, gentlemen, that Mr. Armstrong found it necessary to remove one of the teachers from the school. The question now arises: Which teacher must leave? The senior teacher or the new teacher? You would, no doubt, answer "the new teacher." This; kind sirs, was not true. Though she was the senior teacher, she was forced to leave her self-made room and go to teach in the public hall. The principal called a meeting and it was in this meeting that she expressed her unwillingness to have the senior teacher removed from the school; (Turning to Arm.) Sir, if memory serves you correctly was this not your answer: "Miss Cooper must leave the school and the new teacher is to stay." The principal then suggested that "since a teacher had to be removed why not alternate; let one teacher teach in the hall one week and the other one the next week? Sir, what did the principal meet with for offering this suggestion? Nothing but indignation from you. I need not tell you the conditions of this hall, but to complete my message. I will describe briefly the existing conditions: After entertainments had been held in the hall what were the conditions to be faced the next morning? This might seen to you. Gentlemen, to a painted picture—but it is all too true—dirty ice cream saucers, spoons and cans, pig-feet bones, bits of sandwiches and other particles of food and trash. Very often this was brushed to one side until time could be obtained to remove it. The weather conditions to which she was exposed I need not describe. To the public, but by that lense, —if I am allowed to use the expression: "Those who gaze this as his reason: "That if he possessit for two teachers a teacher in one room." Remember, Gentlemen, I have justly said that two teachers taught in one room until the resignation of the first assistant. The following fall a fourth teacher under her existence into the school, how the question arise: "Where shall Rewer cian Pees de Soe PES Estab Pe exarmee ty SE EE oe eet ‘ nus Beni 2 sy oo egal me Piguet: Sass es : RESO SR eee a WEE geen ee peat Ra eS IS E- Va SAS mes ies a lea ente me ee oe nes a lina ace cenee © = USE eee | RU A “CAPE MAY, N.

Of course there are exceptions. ‘There are some colored people just as there are white people who don’t know how to treat, a domestic. There are today hundreds of young women graduates from’ the publie schools.in this city who are unable to obtain employment. Every summer’ hundreds of our graduates are compelled to leave their homes artd: find employment at summer resorts. It is unfortu- nate, but: nevertheless true. Then again young colored gitls who’ do domestic work think themselves too good to work for their own nation- ality. - Many of them would.rather be “Sim Crowed”’ and do the most menial kind of work for those whom they regard superior to those in their own race. It is an unfor- tunate spectacle to see hundreds of young colared graduates from our Normal school and the Armstrong Manual ‘training sehool in the ho- tels and private, boarding houses during the summer season. Mothers who permit their girls to leave home and fathers who are too mean to support them at home ‘until they can do better. Parents: disregard the temptations and snares that confront them. What must they dot There are fathers who are do- ing well and.banking their money, while. many of their children are prostituting their bodies, because of the neglect of the parents. There are no.avenues open to our young men and young women. © If by chance they should_ obtain. employ- ment in a public office, the colored man doesn’t have that respect for the honor of their. feriales as the white man, Every nationality pro- tects the female except thie colored American. Let’s do something for our females.” Wah, PAL EE OUIN DUMUAINL Elsewhere in this week's issue. of ‘The Bee will be seen and read with interest a letter from Mr. Barnett and an excerpt from’a speech that was supposed to have.been deliver- ed in the House of Representatives February 28, but permission was given this statesman (1) to have his remarks printed, in thé Con- .gressional Reeord. This distin- Guished (1) stafcsman from ‘Mis- souri could not deliver this great (%) state dogument without-a dirty fling at the colored clerks in the de- partments of the government. . ‘Win: Patterson Borland, of Kan- sas City, Mo., was born in Leaven- worth, Kans., October 4, 1867; was graduated in 1892 from the law department of’ the. University of Michigan; entered upon. the prac- tice of law at Kansas City; in 1895 he assisted in organizing the Kan- sas City. School of Law, -and. was elected its dean. His biography in the Congressional Record doesn’t show that he ever had ‘a prior training in the: arts and sci- enees or. whether he ever had a common school" edneation. He jumped from law into polities and other.minor positions, but there ‘is one ‘thing that stuek’ to his ‘‘giz- ard” and that was the negro, who seemed to ‘be most predominant in his mind in the discussion of the eight-hour law. The reference he | made to the eolored office holder’ and which The Bee réptoduees this week, shows the brain of a-‘small man. | -The readers of The. Bee are re- quested fo read it.’ind judge of the greatness of the great Missouri | statesman: : | PARTY BOLTERS. The republicans in this city are _ 0 8¢..sible and too loyal to their arty to support bolters. No man ‘an support a bolting: republican ud exist in this.city or. any. other ity. At present there are three ickets in the field. There are two ickets at present to which con- aderation should be’.given by epublicans in this city. The Brad- waw ticket and the Miller ticket re stronger than the Moose ticket. che latest charge that is being aude against the Moose ticket’ is hat it has quarters for colored coters and quarters for white gen- lemen and plenty of money behind 1, because the Riggs bank is sup- orting it. ’ Tho colored voters are no fools ind it makes no difference how nuch* money the. Riggs Bank spends for its tickets it will'not be japported by the loyal republicans nethis city... Colored men cannot ¥e so casily purchased as many nay think. ‘The moment you at- empt to purchase a colored voter n this city you will lose out. There is no show for a-ticket of yolters to be elected over the regu- ars. : RACHEL, Some ancient writer conceived a plot and christened. it ‘‘Rachel.”” ‘The dignitaries presented the plot to a sclect audience and what was it? {t was ancient because no sueli acts are committed today, any tore than what that diabolical ‘play of the Birth of ‘a Nation shows. Rachel might have been in good taste at the time white men commit- ted acts of violence on the honor of colored women, but not now. * ‘The anthor of the play might have con- ceived a plot based upon modern civilization. ’ In the days of slavery the white man was guilty of what the play of Rachel portrayed. The colored as well as the white race cannot be portrayed now as they were. in an- te-bellum days. “Rachel should not be played any more, ‘beeause there is nothing to learn from it.” DR..S, L., CORROTHERS, Our’ distinguislied — townsman, S. L. Corrothers, has not joined the Baptist Connection and nobody was authorized fo cireulate such an er- roneous report. "The Beé speaks authoritatively. * JUDGE JAMES 1..PUGH. . tsvery member of the bar, re- gardless of color, condition: or po- litical affiliation, have endorsed Judge James L. Pugh for: reap. pointment. There is no judge upon the bench any more popular or bet. ter appreciated than he. The Bee will publish next week what _ the lawyers’ and citizens think of him.

When al} the important business demanding the Im- mediate attention.of the club had ‘been completéd, Dr. .0.. ‘8. Valentine, the| speaker of the evening, was presented. In a brief amd eloquent address, Dr. Valentine urged,the young men to ar- dently support the noble principles and high ideals upon which :the club had been founded.

The guests of the club for the evening were Mr. Clarence Gray, Dr. 0.. S. Valentine, Mr. Herbert Marshall and Mr. Joseph Stewart. PUBLIC MER AND THINGS , By Se wage of the Potomac.) I attended the play. called Rachel. I-wondered to myself if the intelligent of Avenue De Nigg didn’t intend some time, to throw off the mosy of decep: tion. “Sassiety” was out and it was amusing to: see the Moose candidate for delegate git up aid walk out. Be hind him, or rather Jn front of him, with me-too lawyer who Is not s0 much in eyidence since he Knows that the real ticket Ja to be named. All of the old bankrupts were present, and Just how they ‘expect to boost their candidate, I dm in a thinking wonder. You can't always believe what your so-called friends tell you, ‘The individ- uat who fs. playing -hot and cold is boing strictly’‘watched ‘and it he be: Meves that his suave talk will win the confidence of the judges he is mis- taken. Theré 1s nothing like » manly man. Don't you know that Byers is a bap- py Individual? He.ts like the play of Hamlet. , Now, why Is Byers ilke the play of Hamlet? . If Hamlet was left out, there would be no Hamlet, ‘I always love to look fn his smiling face.

Walt for SHE CREATES A SENSATION. "Continued from sage we place her’ It is “unsanitary,” Gentlemen, “for two: teachers to teach. in, one clean room,” but It was not unsanitary for one teacher to teach in the filth and dirt just described to you. (Turning ‘to Mr. Armstrong) This was your ver- ‘sion of’ sanitation. Now as to where the fourth teacher should be placed. Kind Sirs, she was placed In the very room which my sister was forced to leave (because ‘it was unsanitary.) Fearing public’ sentiment and opin- Jon; Mr. Arnistrong. brought her back to the school. Yes, back to the school. ‘But where did he place her? In an unfinished—I can’t say foom, for it was partitioned off; yes, in this unfin- she room. ‘The room. and hail, all in one. In'the lower hall many. win- dows were out and I need not say that winds and weather of ‘all kind found its way to her room. The room was ‘not even plastered; siniply lathed, Gentlemen, you have all seen build- ers building houses and each of you know the condition of a room before it is plastered. More than this, there was the scaffold where the bell was supposed. to be placed. “It was through this’ that you could see the ‘sky Itself; to say nothing of the rain ‘or what-not which found entrance to the room. . These were the conditions under which she was forced to labor. ‘(Turning to Armstrong) And now, sir, may I ask your reason for doing these things.) (Paused as though waiting ‘for an answer.) You need not an- swer; I have your answer: It was be- cause she was-a Catholic. ‘Yes, I-re- peat., because sho was a Catholic. Let me say here that we feel or, in fact, we Know that the meinbers of this Board neither approved nor had any knowledge of these conditions, for knowing that there are several Cath- olics among you, we feel that you would and could not sit in your chair of business ‘and allow such conditions to. exist.. Mr. Armstrong, you can't deny this. It is too late now. - | Why were all these things done may Task, Sir? Simply to make her com- plain in order that you could report her to this honorable board and file. same a$ charges in order to “put her out,” But, kind sir, she fooled you, did she not? (Turning to Arm- strong) Mr. Armstrong, allow:me to say that we knew nothing of these conditions until this’ fall when the. court case’ for one of the teachers came up. For had we known these things she vould not have taught a single day. -She taught. under these conditions until the completion of school. In the fall of 1915. just a few months ago, she asked for a stove door; ‘not a stove, Gentlemen, but a door. s A trustee meeting was held and this, matter brought before them. Mr. Mr. Armstrong got up and said: “I wis in Miss Cooper’s-room the night before and it was so hot I had .to open tlie room door. Thus the door was ‘also denied her; and to this day there is no door. On December 18, 1914, she was com- yelled to leave her school on account,| f pneumonia. - Mr, Armstrong went ibout from door to door, enemy to snemy, friend to friend, inquiring of 1er condition. (Turning to Arm.) You ven went s0 fat as to call up our amily physiclan and, Gentlemen. | issure you that Dr. Thomas Martin. ‘gett A eect eee ington, D. C., gave him an answer. On December 16, 1915, she left her echool, kaving had'a second attack of pneumonia. “During the holidays basket was sent her by the teachers, children; parents and trustees, Shortly after the receipt of this basket, Mr. Armstrong. safd to a teacher’ that jhe knew ‘that Misa Cooper. would [never return, to Fairmount Helehts (school again, for he had sgen the mark on her neck. May I ask you, sir, what the mark was? ‘Did you poison the basket? . Before and since her death he had been holding meetings to discuss her health, A short tlme ago sho sent Mr. Bor- Troughs, a letter asking for a leave of absence ‘for threo months. . After the sending of ‘this letter a “secret meet- ing” was held at night, and one of the present trustee's wite made a motion which seconded dnd voted on that she be not allowed to return to school, be: cause she thought or knew, (I do not remember which term was used), but giving her the benefit of the doubt, I will say she thought that she had iu- ‘berculosis, Let me say, Gentlemen, B ‘his presence ‘that she may think what. sue pleases, but she dare not know. : On Tuesday last, just one week. ago today, February 29, 1912, a meeting was held in the Fairmount Heights public school. It was in this meeting that Mr, Armstrong declared before ‘parents and teachers that Miss Coop: en came to them weak. Because I be- Ueve in giving every man a chance, I give you one'chance to defend your- selt; elther go back before the same body of parents and teachers and deny your statement or come before the Marlboro courts and prove {t. Under- stand me thoroughly: Either go: be- fore the same body: of parents and teachers and.deny your. statement, oF come before the Marlboro courts and prove it. . : Mr. Armstrong sent us a letter of sympathy. - Because. of forgetfulness on-my part I left it at home. But as /per'the request: of my family I was to ‘present it to you in the presence: of this. Board of Education, your letter and extend to you our family’s pro- foundest contempt. Your letter, ir, will be mafled to you on my return home. You. also’ had resolutions drawn up denying these things, the same to be sent to tho bereaved family. (Turn- ing to Armstrong) Sir, we will: ac- cept anything from the parents and teachers, but nothing from you un- der their name. “Send your resolu- tions, and I will mail them to you un- ‘opened: Let me say in conciusfon that as true as ‘there fs a God {n heaven, I ‘say as true as this condition 1s true so Js it true that there fs a-finger that is cold and stiff in death that polnts to you with shame,.and will ever point to you until you are called from here to answer your charges. I pray to God that he may give you strength to treat those left under your care with more respect. It "was at this point that’ Mr. Arm- strong was called onto answer this speech. He attempted to answer by denying as. many things as he could, and-admitting to things that he could not deny. He dectured that my infor- ‘mation was-based on hear-say and that ‘he knew the source. Miss Cooper then said: “Gentlemen, Mr. Woodward, the present chairman of. your trustee committee, sat in my home, the day after my sister's death, In the presence of witnesses and ac- knowledged. all of these things. He could not,-nor did he attempt to deny them, He also stated that he himself was the one who had saved her from going. “Can you call this hearsay informe- tio, Mr. Armstrong? There is noth: ing that you can. say or do that we do not hear and in the. presence of this honorable board, let me say we don't get this information from any teacher or. teachers. Gentlemen, 1 thank you.” Space will-not allow the printing of the entire address. . Miss’ Cooper spoke fully 40 minutes and every member of the board was charmed: with her plea and eloquence. THE ENCHANTORS. ‘The boys of Mount Pleasant’ have formed a club to which they decided to give. the nama of “The Enchant ors,”. and as every club thinks best to give. an initial dance to. specia}ly invited guests, “The Enchantors" gave to thelr many friends on Friday, March 3, inst., their first dance st the residence ,of one of the members of the club, Mr, George ‘King, ‘3218 Sher. man avenue.

Is There to be No Rest for the Weary? Washington, D. C., ~ March 6, 1916. ° 'To the Editor of the Bee: It is past understanding how a gen- tleman (gentle’ man) can so belittle himself as to Incense, the hoi polloi and become one of.tvem. It is pre- sumed that his actions, even when di- rected to the rabble, would be to lft the undesirables from the slough of degration to. the realm’ of uprightness, enhanced by the virtues of just and honest men who desire the well being of their fellowmen, if not by the grace of God, at least by the spirit of altru- ism. ae It is because of this thought that we find it hard to understand the reason why Hon. William P. Borland, in dis- cussing. his “rider” to the Appropria- tion Bill, he should put-into the Con- gressional Record of February 28, un: }der the “Extension of Remarks,” a speech not delivered in the House, in. sidiously attacking the negro, who, as ‘a man with the constitutional rights of an American citizen, passes the civil service examinations and, {8 ap polnted to a position in a department of the Government. | Representativé Borland wishes to increase the working hours of the clerks in the executive departments one hour. He fs. privileged to offer his bill In’ the Congress and: have ft jconsidered. If the Congress thinks it @ proper bill and a benefit to the country, ft will enact {t Into ‘law; otherwise it will not. . 2 But Mr. Borland should not resort to small, mean, contemptible, specious argument against the negro and in: fame the prejudice of the Congress and his home people to help him in his attempt’ to add one hour to (he workday of 36,000 white men and women, Z | Now, that a bettér understanding of what is desired to be brought before your readers, we here give the para. graph that bas been incoherently add- ed to the speech. He says: “There are many enterprising and skillful men among the.” Government employees, and some of them are scientists and experts, whose services are worth more than the Government pays them, but these are all working under the eight-hour schedule now and will not be affected by the change in the laws. On the slackers we need waste no sympathy. There are a num- ber of negroes in the civil service, and, almost without exception, they are in the purely clerical departments where the seven-hour day prevails and not in the mechanical and technical branches where the eight-hour daw is enforced. I am_,told that among the young negro couples it is customary for both the husband: and wife to take the clvil-service examination and se- cure appointment, if possible, in the same office. As they get to work late iu the morning and go home early in the afternoon, ft fs possible for them to keep house and raise an interesting brood of pickaninnies while draw‘'ng two comfortable salaries fromthe Fed- eral Government. Sometimes the wife only works in the department, and the husband rests at home or devotes. his talents to preaching the gospel.” “This diatribe ‘does not reflect so mis- chievously upon the Negro as. is: in- tended. On the contrary it credits the negro with being capable and’ able; and upon his merits and not h's color, he receives his appointment. And’tur- ther, but his efficiency and not love for, him, he holds. his position.. It is to be regretted, however, that owing to the use of the photographs used, now few- er negroes receive appointments in- der tho civil.service; and worse still, should any now in’ ‘the clvil service lose their position’, ‘not any others would be taken in to. fill the vacancies, ‘The negro again regrets, that Mr. Borland does not want him to: keep house and raise a respectable family. He rejoices, however, that he has the grace of God in his heart and is able to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In it he finds solace and comfort, un- like he discovers. in the gospel of Rep- resentative William P. Borland. _ H. BE. BARNETT. HOTEL NEWS. Pacey ix bnsaaay igre <The Briggs House jn‘ Chicago has taken the lead ‘in’ opening a large Cafeteria, or Dairy Lunch, in connec- tlon with’ the regular dining rooms, in order to stop the guests from tho ho- tel who have been in the habit of using the hotel’ as their business agency and eating elsewhere. The Briggs House management claims that the lunch room that has been recently. installed in the hotel gives an’.additional’ outlet for the products of the hotel kitchen, and thus brings a fancy profit on many goods that ordinarily would be wanted. From the above we find that’ Cht- cago “hotel -men are having. thelr troubles with the ever-increasing dal- ry lunches that have been overcrowd- ing this city and all eastern cities for the past several years. Experience has taught modern hotel men that cheap guests are of very little proft to the hotel.

A LEAR YEAR PARTY. At a delightful leap year party given at the True Reformers' Hall on Friday evening, March 3rd, 1916, the young women released themselves from the old custom of allowing the men to do the selecting of partners and took advantage of the opportunity that comes with year when February has twenty-nine days, which gives them freedom to select their partners. At the beginning of the evening they showed plainly that timidity possessed them, but upon realizing that the men made no effort to move from their seats, and that the splendid music being rendered was not being used for ladies requested their company to dance; from that moment on all evidence of timidity was lost and the hall was a place of merriment. After a chat with everybody's friend Dr. Perry put new life into the plano. A cotillion was lead by Miss Volorie Chase and Mr. S. O. Plummer, at the end of which favors of whistles and fans were distributed by the chaperons, Mrs. Woodson and Miss Randolph.

Nelli and S. M. Kendrick. There was also a ticket committee of twenty-five from each church under the leadership of Mrs. Virginia B. Jeter of Metropolitan, and Miss. Martha Lee, of Plymouth Churches. There was friendly competition between the churches. Miss Martha Lee of Plymouth church won the $15 prize. The pastors were so well pleased with the services of the Jubilee Singers that they arranged a visit to the White House where the singers met the President of the United States. The Jubilee Singers said they enjoyed the splendid audience, and frankly confessed that Washington had given them the most representative audience they had seen on this tour. Fisk is going school and Washington is a great city. The Bee also is glad to say a good word for the spirit of cooperation between our churches and pastors. More of this should be done by all our churches and pastors. WEST WASHINGTON. Rev. Jas. R. L. Diggs, the newly elected pastor of the First Baptist Church, occupied the pulpit of the church on Sunday morning and delivered a very eloquent sermon to a large congregation. Rev. Diggs is now permanently installed and enters into his duties as pastor with much encouragement. A very successful rally at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church was concluded on last Sunday by Rev. W. A. Green, who recently took charge of the church and raised $150.00 toward the improvement fund-of the church, to begin about April 1st, which will be beautifully painted and carpeted-at a cost five hundred dollars. The Fourth Quarterly conference of Mt. Zion M. E. Church was held on Friday evening and was largely attended by the members who were interested in the annual election of officers and contemplated change of pastorate this conference year. It is rumored that a committee has already petitioned for a change which is the renewal of last year's request in which the pastor was victorious and hoped to return for another year. The meeting at the close was very spirited and the District superintendent, Rev. Hughes, had occasion to admonish the members of the conference to harmonious action and to accept the judgment of the conference to convene at Richmond, Va., during this month. After the stormy discussion the meeting at a late hour, adjourned, singing "Blest be the Tie." Mr. Geo. T. Beason has been re-elected reading stewart of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, succeeding Mr. William Ballard. Mt. Zion Sunday School has arraigned to have Men's day exercises on Sunday morning. Mr. M. N. Corbett will deliver an address, subject, "The Sunday School in Relation to the Church." Solos by Mr. Jos. H. Carroll and Jas. Lomax; music by the Epworth League Orchestra: Miss W. Watts, V. B. Fisher, Harry Ricks, and George Williams. A welcome to all Sunday School workers. Mr. Wm. Andricks, presiding. The Orpheus Cantata Company rendered Saul the King of Israel at Mt. Zion M. E. Church on Wednesday, March 1st, and by special request will repeat it at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, O street, Thursday evening, March 23, 1916, Rev. R. A. Green pastor. ANNUAL VISITATION.

THE INNER CIRCLE On the evening of February 28th, the members of the Inner Circle Social Club entertained at their first, formal reception, from 8:30 p. m., to 11 p. m., at 1635 P street northwest. The house was beautifully decorated with palms and cut flowers. More than three hundred guests were received by the club, with Mrs. C. B. Ennis and Mrs. Jas. E. Jones presiding at the refreshment table, and Miss Madie A. Tynes at the punch table. Many handsome gowns were displayed, and music was rendered by a string orchestra. The officers and members of the club are as follows: James E. Jones, president; Augustus A. Lee, vice president; Charles S. Pryor, secretary; Arthur H. Gaskis, assistant secretary; John E. Jackson, treasurer; Chas. B. Ennis, master of social sessions; Charles E. Jones, Elmer M. Johnson, Leroy H. Mundy, Thomas M. Ennis, Joseph F. Hicks and Nathaniel P. Banks. THE MAGNETS ARE HOSTS. On the occasion of the second of a series of informal evening receptions the Magnetts welcomed an unusually large number of their closest friends at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Allen F. Jackson, 1614 Morris Rd, Anacostia, on the evening of Friday, March third. That the affair was a wonderful success-as one of the most brilliant functions of the season was well evidenced by the absolute distinctiveness and complete individuality that have always characterized both the formal and informal receptions of the club. Beginning at ten and lasting until eleven-thirty o'clock, the leap year dances provided great enjoyment for all present and at the conclusion of this part of the evening's entertainment choice refreshments were served a la buffet. The ladies were becomingly attired in beautiful gowns, while the gentlemen for the most part, wore dark suits. The rooms for the dancing were beautifully decorated with purple and white, and at the east side of the lower, a small table was adorned with fragrant spring flowers. The following is a list of those present: The Club: Mr. Matthew M. Taylor, Miss Maude Bryant, Mr. E. Roland Ross, Miss Annie I. Turner, Mr. Lawrence C. Taylor, Miss Cornella Wills, Mr. Allen F. Jackson, Miss Hortense Thomas, Mr. Shermont R. Sewell, Miss Hilda Walker, Mr. Parran Holly, Miss Estelle Arrington, Mr. John Taylor, Miss Marie Stewart, Mr. H.

Shepherd, the polite and gentlemaly salesman of Ware's Department store, 1832 Fourthreet street northwest, also one of the oldest inhabitants of Washington, D. C., entertained a few of his friends in his old-time way March 6th, at 1720 Fourthreet street northwest, in celebration of his 63rd birthday. Every one present left with a hearty handshake, hoping he would see many more such days. The editor of The Bee also voices their sentiment.

And when He .was alone, they that were about Him with the twelve asked of Him the parable. And He said unto:them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God; but unto them that are with- out, all these things are done in’ para- bles; that seeing, they may not see and ‘not perceive; and: hearing; they may hear, and not understand; fest at any time they should be -converted,' and.their sins be forgiven them. “John 12:37 to 43: “But thotigh He had done go many miracles before them, yet they belleved not on Him, that the saying of. Esalas the Prophet might be fulfilled which he spoke. Lord, who hath belfeved our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been re- vealed? Therefore they could not beliove; because Esalas safd again, Ho hath blinded their eyes and har dened thelr hearts, that they-should not, see with their eyes, nor under- stand with their heart, and be con- verted, and I should heal them. These, things’ said Isaiah’ (Isaiah 6:9, 10. when he saw his glory, and spake of Him; nevertheless. among the chief rulers also many belleved on Him; but because of the Pharisees they did. pot confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on ‘me, believeth not on me, but on Him that sent me; and that seeth me, secth Him ‘that gent me. I.am come’ a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on mo should not‘abide in darkness; and if any man hear my. words and. be- lieve not, I judge-him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me and re: ceiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth hm. ‘The word that I have | apoken. the same shall judge him in|| the last day; for T have not spoken of niyself; but the Father which sent me, He gave me a commandment what.

On the slackers we need waste no sympathy: ‘Thero are a num- ber of ‘Negroes in the civil ‘service, and, almost without. exception, they are in the purely clerical departments where the seven-hour day prevails and not in the. mechanical and technical branches where the eight-hour day is enforced. .I am told that among the young Negro: couples it is customary for both the husband and wife to take the civil service examination and se- cure appointment, if possible, in the same office. As they get to work late in.the morning and'go home early in the afternoon, it is possible for them to keep house and raise ‘an interesting brood of. pickaninnles while drawing two comfortable salaries from the fed- eral government. Sometimes the wife only worké in the department, and the husband rests at’home or devotes his talents to preaching the gospel. ‘The most bitter opponents of any re- form in the law, the men who have de- nounced it as inhuman and. oppressive, who have reviled Congress in ppblic and private, who have stirred up ail this hysteria at the mere suggestion of efficiency and economy, are the mercantile interests of the city of ‘Washington. ‘These merchants, with the real es- tate and banking interests with which they aro allled, and the newspapers which subsist upon their Batronage, control the public opinion of the Dis- GO NOW.

MR. CHARLES L. SKINNER, An up-to-date Progressive Auto Dealer and Auto Editor of the Washington Bee and Promoter of the Auto Floral Parade. MOTORING NEWS AND HINTS To Washington's Colored Motoring Public. Herald Co-Operates with Floral Parade Promoter. Below will be seen a letter, from the Herald which goes to show the publicity our parade is getting in Washington already. Readers of last Sunday's Herald, no doubt, know of the splendid article which this paper wrote on the carnival. Washington, D. C., March 6, 1916. Mr. Chas. L. Skinner, 1420 K St., N. W., Washington, D. C. My Dear Sir: I presume you saw the advance notice of, the floral pageant which was carried in our Sunday Herald. If you will keep us supplied with this data from time to time we will be glad to take care of it for you. MOTOR YARNS. By Owners of Various Makes of Cars. Dick Ware says: "You can't beat the Ford for all around work. When I want to deliver a package I jump in my Ford and do so. When I want pleasure, Mrs. Ware and myself take a nice little spin in our Roadster." Dr. Martin says: "It sure does pay to buy a good car. My Pierce Arrow has not cost me five dollars in two years for repairs. Some holding-up car." Eugene James, the undertaker, says: "All motorists are advised to keep to the right of the road, for there's no telling when he will come up behind you and need to pass, for that Marmon speedster of his is built to be in the lead. Dan Freeman does not believe in trading in cars for a new one. He has had over three years' good service out of his Studebaker and is now going to make a roadster out of it for two more years service. Dr. Curtis says: "When a car takes you to Chicago and back as successfully as my Paige did it's the car to stand by and boast will always be my Paige Detroit." Young Dr. Curtis has an idea that his Reo Roadster can beat his father's Paige, because he says she sure has got the power and get-away quality in her. I want also to say Mr. James had better look out for us when we meet. WHITE PRESS COMMENTS ON OUR FLORAL PARADE. It is a great step toward showing the country the ability and progress of the colored race, and should be enjoyed by everyone—Herald. The event will be just as advertised, "A nation-wide event," and will surely show the advancement the colored people have made, not only in the auto field but generally—Times. J.
