COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO RELIEVE STARVING PEOPLE Rev. Dr. Garner and Prof. George W. Cook and Twenty Others Selected as Members of Committee to Raise Funds for the Starving Peoples in the Near East. Twenty of the most prominent residents of the District of Columbia have been selected as members of the executive committee which will have charge of the "drive" to raise this city's share of the $30,000,000 fund to relieve the starving populations of the Near East. Included in the list of those appointed are Dr. A. C. Garner, of the Plymouth Congregational Church, and Prof. George W. Cook, of Howard University. The drive, as previously announced, will be held during the week of February 16 to 23, inclusive. Washington's quota to be raised is $150,000. As announced last Saturday night by Gregory Doyle, director of the District of Columbia headquarters of the American committee for relief in the Near East, under the auspices of which the drive will be conducted, the executive committee will consist of the following: District Commissioner W..Gwynn Gardiner, chairman; Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire, former United States Minister ot Greece; Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding, Bishop of Washington; Rt. Rev. C. F. Thomas, St. Patrick's Church; Rev. Dr. Chas. Wood, Church of the Covenant; Rabbi Abram Simon, Washington Hebrew Congregation; Dr. J. L. Gordon, First Congregational Church; Rev. Randolph H. McKim; Epiphany Church; Rev. James H.

NO. 36 The Washington Bee former District Commissioner H. B. F. Macfarland. William F. Gude. George Curtis Peck, Samuel T. Herrick, Henry P. Blair, Wm. H. Baldwin, and Prof. George W. Cook, of Howard University. By arrangement with the national headquarters, men and women who have been in close contact with the frightful conditions of destitution and suffering prevailing among the refugee populations of the Near Eastern war theatre will come to Washington to participate in the drive. Among those who have definitely consented to come are General Mesrop R. Azgapetian, former aide-de-camp to the Shah of Persia, and his wife, Lady Anne Azgapetian, both of whom are eloquent speakers. General Azgapetian was commander of the Armenian forces in Russia operating against the Turks. It is probable that they will both speak on the opening day of the drive, February 16. During the week preceding the formal opening of the campaign, Sergt Alexander T. Coubrough and his companion in arms., Sergt. White, both Australian Anzacs and veterans of the Gallipoli campaign, will pass through Washington on their way to Florida. Having witnessed the horrible sufferings of the Armenian refugees, both men, on their arrival in this country, placed themselves at the disposal of the American committee for relief in the Near East. They have agreed to speak in Washington February 9 and 10, in connection with the coming drive. It is their purpose, after leaving, here, to take a month's walking trip through Florida. Cooperation of local officials of the Council of National Defense has been assured. It has already been formally extended in connection with the nation-wide drive, Grosvenor B. Clarkson, director of the council. having recently sent the following telegram to the chairman of the State Councils of Defense and to the State Divisions of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense: "We endorse and ask your support for the campaign now being conducted by the American Committee for Relief in the Near East to raise $30,000,000 to relieve the unparalleled distress among Armenians, Syrians and Persians. This campaign has governmental status in that the relief, which in the Near East can be financed by private contributions alone, will be administered under the supervision of Herbert Hoover, as director general of international relief. President Wilson has just cabled: 'The appropriation asked of Congress for handling food relief is not intended in any way to take the place of the subscriptions being asked for relief and rehabilitation in the Near East. I hope that this subscription will not in any way be interrupted or reduced. The need is immediate and very great.' Please arrange for all possible assistance from your entire organization.

Five Thousand People Turn Out to Greet Him—Five Hundred Converts—Great Evangelist Receives an Ovation in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, Pa., Feb. 1.—One of the largest revivals ever held in this city was conducted by Evangelist Alexander Willbanks, of Washington, D. C. The white and colored press of the city declare that he outpreached Billy Sunday. This great campaign is being conducted by Dr. Willbanks, pastor of the Tenth Street Baptist Church, Washington, D. C. He is a man with a burning soul and is leading more people to Christ than any living man of his race. He is having more real converts than any living man, white or black. He left Washington three weeks ago. accom- A panied by his wife, who travels with him everywhere he goes. She is one of the most congenial little helpers he can find. She is popular with the masses and was presented many flowers and presents by her Christian admirers. They arrived here after an all-day ride around the snow-capped mountains, over rivulets and rills. They were met at the station by a committee. Rev. Ernest Starks introduced the committee. They took automobiles and were driven to the home of Rev. Starks, where they remained during their sojourn. Dr. Willbanks was invited to Pittsburgh by Rev. Dr. Austin, pastor of the great Ebenezer Baptist Church, with a congregation of over four thousand members, and Dr. Starks, pastor of the Monumental Baptist Church. Dr. Willbanks delivered his first sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church. At the close of the sermon 101 persons joined the church. It appeared as if a cyclone had passed through the church. Never in the history of the city has such enthusiasm been manifested. Hundreds were turned away nightly, unable to gain admission. They came from everywhere in the State. The Ministers' Conference suspended all business and had Dr. Willbanks preach to the conference. His text was, "I pray thee that a double portion of thy spirit be on me." There was not a dry eye in the church. The closing was the most demonstrative that has ever been witnessed in Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Courier says of Dr. Willbanks the following: "The greatest meeting, that was ever held in a local church is being conducted by Rev. Dr. Alexander Willbanks, pastor of the Tenth Street Baptist Church of Washington, D. C. The international evangelist, called by the white press of the country the "Black Billy Sunday," has been here for the past two weeks. Over two hundred souls, have been brought to Christ, and have joined the different churches of the city. Dr. Willbanks is hurling into the devil's camp every evening at o'clock. Sunday was a great battle day. At 11 o'clock Rev. E. W. Starks, the pastor, preached, relieving the evangelist. Several men were happily converted and many others who were not members of any church minded. In the afternoon Dr. Willbanks preached a special sermon to men. Women were invited and sat on one side of the church and the men on the other. In the evening at 7:30 the church was filled to overflowing and hundreds were turned away. The fight continues through this week and closes Friday night, at which time Evangelist Willbanks will preach his farewell sermon. The collection was $240. Rev. and Mrs. Willbanks will leave the city Saturday morning for their home in Washington, D. C." Rev. Willbanks arrived in this city in time to take in seventeen new members. A crowded church greeted him. It was a great jubilee. They gave him a money shower. Rev. John Saunders, of McKeesport, Pa., is assisting Dr. Willbanks in his revivals in this city. These meetings will continue thirty days. EXALTED RULER BUNDY. Members Present Him With a Beautiful Gift of an Elk's Tooth Set With Diamonds. Exalted Ruler E. W. Bundy of Columbia Lodge of Elks, No. 85, at the installation of the officers of the lodge a few evenings ago, was presented with a beautiful elk's tooth set with diamonds. This is an evidence of the esteem in which Mr. Bundy is held by his organization which he has made a factor in Elkdom. The token is a valuable one and is highly appreciated by Mr. Bundy. No man is entitled to greater consideration than this master organizer and benefactor of this great organization. He has been of great service to this organization. He succeeded where others had failed. His first great act was to erect an Elks' Home for the members of his order, which is a lasting monument to his memory. No man is more deserving and The Bee is pleased to see that his efforts in behalf of such a strong organization are remembered. Judge Robert H. Terrell was one of the vice-presidents of the great meeting held at Gonzaga Hall last Sunday night in behalf of Irish freedom. The speakers were Bishop Shaban, rector of the Catholic University, and several members of Congress. The well known attorney, Rossa F. Downing, presided. Aaron P. Piroleau Makes A Great Speech His Great Speech Before the Blaine women out of ourselves and our op- Invincible Republican Club Sun- portunities. His Great Speech Before the Blaine Invincible Republican Club Sunday, February 2nd, at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church. At a largely attended meeting of representative citizens Sunday, February 2, Hon. Aaron P. Prioleau delivered the following speech, and among the distinguished persons present was Mr. E. F. Colladay, National Committeeman of the District of Columbia. Mr. Prioleau said: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I desire to thank you for the opportunity and the honor you have given me to address you upon the uppermost and most vital questions of the hour. I shall always feel myself deeply obligated to the members and officers of this great Republican organization, "The Blaine Invincible Club." The honor thus bestowed upon me as one of the members in league with this united body of patriotic and loyal American citizens and champion of human freedom is one to make any man feel proud. We shall ever be eternally vigilant, brave and courageous to wrestle light and pray until the civil and political rights of the male and female citizens of the United States of America are made and administered equally, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude as are guaranteed under the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Federal Constitution of the United States, and the act of June 25th, A.D. 1869, which is the supreme law of the land, and which specifically states that the civil and political rights of all citizens are guaranteed and protected under the law equally. The United States Supreme Court, after over forty-five years of dilatoriness, came out squarely in the Oklahoma State and the Annapolis, Maryland, contested election cases and upheld the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Federal Constitution, and the laws that thus governed them in these decisions are still alive and are the supreme laws of the land. And all other State laws, new constitutions and election laws are unconstitutional, and are strictly in violation of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution and the Act of Congress of June 25th, 1868. I contend and do. recommend that the twelve million colored American citizens—North, East and West and South—should unite themselves, form clubs and unions and register the same in every state, district, and ward and present throughout the country a united front and cast their votes in all elections for the candidate or candidates that pledge themselves to fight for the rights guaranteed to the colored citizens being properly and specifically carried out. In the Southern States where the members of the colored race are denied the right to vote and all other rights, privileges which they are justly entitled under the Constitution, is due to a condition of which the North, East and West are as much a party to, as are the men of the South, for should the members of Congress from these states make it mandatory upon the Southern States to permit the members of the colored race to vote, or have their representation cut down, all the discrimination and disfranchisement would be blotted ont, and in its stead there would arise a freedom, a liberty and a civil, as well as political, dawn, for all the people of the colored race in the Southland. Wanton murder and lynching and all other kinds of injustice would cease, and an era of prosperity would be the outcome of all of the hardships that the colored race are now undergoing. We must appeal to God daily in prayer, and as He fought and whipped the enemy, so we will be able to do likewise if we are sincere in our supplications to Him, and are honest in all the efforts we put forth to make for this world better men and ```markdown ``` A NATION'S STRENGTH IS IN ITS FOOD SUPPly Est Lose — Waste working Create a Reserve AMERICA MUST FEED 120, 000, 000 ALIES ation Makes A Great Speech women out of ourselves and our op- portunities. A Republican, independent or any citizen should be nominated, when he has by his deeds and words proven that he holds the colored race in union with all other races of fair-minded people, and is prone to give to the members of the colored race the same measure of assistance that he doles out to members of other races. We must stick to the men of the other race who have proven their friendship, and we must not be taken off our feet by empty promises. When we have united ourselves in such numbers as will properly make the showing our voting strength demands, then we should nominate men of our own race for members of Congress, for state senators and legislators. And when we shall have strength enough we should nominate and elect men of our race to the Senate of the United States. We ought and must contest each and every election case that has been held without regard to the voting strength of the population represented. Great speeches and the passing of resolutions, followed by a banquet, and this, followed by sending delegations to call upon the President of the United States, does the colored race no good. Nor does the big and small governmental appointments given to so-called leaders of the race do any good. These things may help the individual, but the race as a whole are not benefited, either in the line of advancement or any other way. What the colored race needs is men to hold elective office, where they will be their own boss, and where the lure of public office cannot stultify their ambition when it comes to doing the things from which the whole race will derive material benefits. They can always be on the job in the legislative hall, and when anything inimical to the race is proposed they can show that they control the situation. All that colored men and women are able to do now is to petition for the righting of their grievances, and petitions do no good. We must be able to black ourselves and stop crying to the white people to save us. Every nation under the blue canopy of Heaven has representation—men to look out for their rights, but the colored race has no one to look after their rights but God and it is high time that we were giving the good Lord some assistance. The twelve million men and women of the colored race are as able to install men in the halls of Congress as any other race, and it is up to us to do something besides talk. We must use our political strength in such measure as will insure those in Congress of giving us a square deal, and if they don't then we will put others in their place. We should appoint a commissioner and have him at the Capitol to report any delinquencies on the part of any member of Congress who does not assist when opportunity arises to get for the colored race those things to which they are justly entitled. I especially recomend that a Blaine Invincible Club should be organized in every state of the United States, and have its representatives in each ward, precinct and district, wherever there is a colored vote of any consequence, and let the Blaine Club be the national head, and they should have as their standard bearer the example set by the late and lamented Perry Carson, the real champion of human liberty, who is gone, but his deeds are as alive today as though he was in our midst. for he lives in the hearts of the people of the Capital. He fought for universal suffrage for all citizens on the District of Columbia, and we should renew our efforts to press this just claim and right in union with all other races of the District Clarke's National Training School THE TWENTIETH CENTURY WOMAN HAS A VOCATION! The great World War has taught us to be producers as well as consumers. The world must be clothed. Why not become a producer of garments? Specialization is the foundation of success.

With this course we teach you to make your Easter Hat Free! We furnish employment for our students while training. We place our graduates in profitable positions. Hundreds have been placed by us. If you are a dressmaker, register with us for employment. I see that Rev. A. C. Garner has been selected to head a committee to collect funds from the colored people for the distressed Armenians and other friendly foreigners. A better man could not have been selected. There is one thing about Rev. Garner, he is no trimmer. He wants just what the whiteman wants, and he won't be "jim-crowed," either. His headquarters are with those who are conducting the campaign, and he has his own clerk or stenographer. I hope the colored people will do their duty for the sake of Rev. Garner, if for no other reason. The white people, as a rule, always respond to the call of colored Americans whenever they make it. There is to be a shaking up at the Howard University. It is about time. One man has been riding rough shod over the unfortunates at that institution for some time. To hear this individual talk, you would believe that he owned it and everybody in it. The new president has taken a hand in the affairs of the institution himself. Things and conditions will not be as they used to be. I hope the president does not remove the Law School from its present location. It is near the courts and the students can have the benefit of frequent visits. The bolting Odd Fellows have been sat upon by the court of Pennsylvania, and little Napoleon Slaughter will continue to edit the Odd Fellows' Journal. Will Houston, if he goes to England as a delegate, will go on his own resources and not that of the recognized organization. Houston always had a swollen head, which came from his imaginary power that Ed Morris gave him several years ago. He got greater than his creator. The being, who made him certainly did unmake him. You know there are some people in this country who are made by the press, and they really imagine they are great, indeed. Imaginary greatness prevails among men and women who possess meagre brains. Some men imagine that they can write for a newspaper. This class may always be seen occupying front seats at great gatherings. Some men walk the streets dressed up with kid gloves, believing that is one emblem of distinction. It is only to hide their dirty and unmanicured fingernails. Whenever you see a man—I mean a business or professional man—with kid gloves on, when the thermometer is below freezing point, you can just conclude that he has more sense in his hands than he has in his head. He is a dress-parade individual who is not altogether living on his own resources, like to see an individual dress and look well, but I certainly don't appreciate a fop. Well, the shareholders are waiting for a public report of the investigating committee on the Richardson Funeral Corporation. The funeral corporation and many insurance companies that have been established in this city should be handled with care. The people should be careful and make a thorough investigation before they pay out their money. There is a colored insurance company in this city that earns all of its money from colored people, but when it wants professional work done, it seeks the white man. I would suggest to the Phone-North 1955. Acquiring an education. A trade is not all. Applying it solves the problems. colored people, since the white man does so much for this particular insurance company, that it would be a good policy for the white people to support it entirely. When the colored manager enters the office of a lawyer, he does so with his hat in his hand and a grin on his face. When he enters the office of a colored lawyer or when he used to enter a colored lawyer's office, he never thought about removing his hat, and when he gave orders they were generally over the phone. Judge E. M. Hewlett has decided to practice law in the Juvenile Court from now on. The Sage doesn't like to say it; but ask Judge Hewlett the reason. The Judge was in the Juvenile Court two weeks, and all of a sudden he came to the conclusion. He thinks the lady Judge has good sense and a strong legal mind. "She is an honor to the Court," remarked the Judge. She must be just what the doctor ordered, if Judge Hewlett says so. The Evangelist Willbanks has decided to attend to his own business, provided other people attend to theirs, and if they don't and he is compelled to take them to task, he may say some very unpleasant things. "Men who attack other men," remarked the evangelist, just before he left for the East, "should be clean themselves." There are always two sides to a question. President Royal Hughes has decided to call a meeting of the Colored Bar Association, when his $2.50 are returned to him which he advanced for postal cards. President Hughes is not in a hurry for a meeting, because the members have in view electing his successor. The member hopes that no deaths are in sight, which are always an incentive for President Hughes to call his clans to confer. Legal Advisor Harry L. Tignore may consent to rent the association one of his spare rooms. Harry has too much room for a bachelor, at any rate. Of course, a meeting will have, to be called to decide on the amount that the association will agree to give. Now, my good friend up town, Dr. J. W. W. Morse, is wearing smiles. Just what is coming off, I am unable to say. However, he has a surprise in store and in a few days I feel confident he will spring it. There is a great demand for the return of Attorney R. R. Horner to the Board of Education. The citizens have long since come to the conclusion that it was a mistake when he was not reappointed. When Correspondent R. W. Tyler takes the lecture platform he will tell the people something they want to know. He was prevented from saying what the people wanted to know. He did happen to run past the censor in one of his letters, which I knew was the truth, and which was told me long before he had written. I am glad that Dr. R. R. Moton has returned from France. The colored people are not anxious to know anything Dr. Moton may tell and care but little what Dr. DuBois may say. Both men have lost caste with the colored Americans. A leader far the colored race must be made to order and formulated into a Trotter, pure and simple. 1600 13th Street, Northwest THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE VIRGINIA COUNTY AGENTS HOLD SESSION AT AMPTON Hampton, Va.—The coored farm-demonstration agents of Virginia have just finished a country conference at Hampton, Virginia. They discussed "Effective Community Organization Work," celebration of School and Demonstration Forces." "The 1919 Program for Lab Work," "Demonstration Projects, and other problems relating to the proper conduct of extension work among farmers. Among those who spoke were Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of the Hampton Institute, "County Agents Improve Rural Life"; I. A. Miller, of Washington, D. C., field agent for farm-demonstration work in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Kentucky, "Patriotic, Liberal Service of the Colored People"; Major Allen Washington, commandant at Hampton, "The County Agents Make Good"; Major J. L. Blair Buck, acting director of Hampton's agricultural department, "Carrying Plans Into Action." Charles H. Albord, Washington D. C., agriculturist and-field agent for Texas and Oklahoma, "Leadership"; J. R. Hutcheson, Blacksburg, Va., assistant director of the Virginia extension work, "Demonstration Projects for 1919"; Charles G. Burr, of Blacksburg, Va., State agent for boys' club work, "Projects for Boys"; F. S. Farrar, Jetserville, Va., district agent, farm-demonstration work in Virginia, "Relation of White and Colored People"; Emmet R. Price, of Blacksburg, Va., editor Extension Division, "The County Agent and the Public"; Charles W. Mason, Richmond, Va., assistant Federal State director for Virginia, U. S. Employment Service, "Boys' Working Reserve"; Walter G. Young, of Upper Zion, Va., district agent, farm-demonstration work in Virginia, "Community Organization Work," and John B. Pierce, Hampton, Va., special agent, extension work, South, "Development of Community Clubs." The conference further perfected workable plans for more complete organization of extension work throughout Virginia. This extension work has been organized on a progressive basis, so that one year's work suggests a program for another year. The assistant director of extension work for Virginia states that the conference succeeded in getting down to the things that are considered best for the development of extension work. Through conference discussions, new ways and means of developing all of the citizens of Virginia were discovered. PROHIBITION AT WORK. The following appeared in the New York Times of January 30, 1910, and was signed by "A. Clergyman" of Washington, D. C.: "The prohibitionists are to be congratulated on their success in making the country safe for hypocrisy. None but the most verdantly unsophisticated believes that our legislators, National and State, will practice the total abstinence ... from intoxicants which they are forcing on the people. Already Senators and Representatives here are rapidly providing oases for the future Sahara. Lockers in the Capitol and cellars in homes are being replenished.

Which means that the Solons of every State, as well as of the Nation, as well as all other persons of sufficient means, will be able to procure, before prohibition becomes effective, enough liquid solace for a long time ahead—in the case of the wealthy for the remainder of their lives. The great mass of the plain people, the mechanic, the poorly paid clerk, the small store-keeper, whose drab lot of hard toil or monotonous occupation is somewhat relieved and brightened, by an occasional glass of beer partaken in cheerful and congenial company, will be deprived of what their more fortunate fellow citizens can still enjoy—those to whom many sources of physical and mental exhilaration—travel, golf, art, opera—are open. A year from now Senator Croesus will have ten thousand dollars' worth of champagne in his cellar; John Smith will, maybe, have a dozen bottles of beer in his ice chest. Is this a square deal? Is John Smith going to submit to it?" MADAME SOBER. "Your hair looks beautiful." I am using Madame Sober's Scalp Preparation. High cost of living will break by April 1 by a general decline.

The Bee, Franklin 5992 Chase's Law Office, Main 4078 Entered at the Post-Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. WASHINGTON, D. C., FEBRUARY 8, 1919. DID JACKSON CONFESS? It is claimed by the Police Department that Jackson confessed to the crime of killing Miss Lillian Hood, notwithstanding the dying statement that a white man had assaulted her. The Bee is more inclined to believe that statement of Miss Hood than it is the alleged confession extorted from the accused. Jackson is not so white that he could be mistaken for a white man. Miss Hood was an intelligent young woman, and no one regrets the circumstances of her death any more than the people in this community. White and black. The Bee was confident that from the trend of the investigation some colored man would be accused. Perhaps before the last murders are concluded the crime will be foisted on some colored man. In each case the Police Department offered a reward for the apprehension of the person or persons who committed these hideous crimes. Just a few weeks before the two last murders a young colored man by the name of Alexander Warren was most brutally murdered and not one penny has been offered by anyone for the apprehension of the murder or murderers. Why should such discrimination exist? The Warren case has about died out and the Police Department is just as far from knowing anything as it was when the crime was first committed. There never was a murder more brutal than the Warren murder. Warren was a high-class artist, well known in the city as a peaceful and law-abiding citizen. He was murdered and his hands and legs tied to his neck and his body saturated with coal oil and set on fire. When his body was found the entire side of his face was burned to the bone. His identification was meager and yet no reward has been offered for the apprehension of the murderers. Sergeant Detective Beckley was assigned to the case with an inexperienced associate, so to speak. The people have great faith in Sergeant Beckley and they hope he will be successful in running down the murderers. There are some people, if reports are correct, who could throw some light on the case, but it seems that these people have not been interviewed. This city is about to rival New York in crime. Never in the history of Washington have so many murders been committed within such short intervals. There should be five times more headquarters men of color. The city demands it and conditions warrant it. There should be more colored men on the force. It is so strange that race prejudice is so high as to preclude more colored men from being appointed on the police force. by the Police Department that being Miss Lillian Hood, notwithstanding a white man had assaulted her. In that statement of Miss Hood is extorted from the accused. J. and lie mistaken for a white man, being woman, and no one regrets the more than the people in this case was confident that from the treed man would be accused. People concluded the crime will be foiled, with case the Police Department on of the person or persons who must a few weeks before the two men by the name of Alexander W. and not one penny has been on of the murder or murderers in exist? The Warren case has department is just as far from the crime was first committed. The I than the Warren murder.

Column of The Bee will be seen at a had resolution offered in the House. William E. Mason of Illinois who had passed the Civil Service for an appointment, but when she seen sent for, was rejected, when he died. The Bee published a few weeks between the department to whistle question. Reputation of Congressman Masson for condition, The Bee presenting thoroughly convinced that the ideal, offered a resolution in the letter, gave a report on the same. This letter. The Bee has published at young colored women who have helped people extend their thanks to was in their power to elect him, such a man would be a credit to that every paper edited and publish this bill and resolution, there is one patriotic white American Government, and a man in wisdom. All honor to the States as a MAN. In another column of The Bee will be seen and read with admiration the bill and resolution offered in the House of Representatives by Congressman William E. Mason of Illinois in behalf of Mrs. Ida S. Hall, who had passed the Civil Service examination and been certified for an appointment, but when she reported in person, after having been sent for, was rejected, when it was discovered that she was colored. The Bee published a few weeks ago the entire correspondence between the department to which she reported and the lady in question. Knowing the reputation of Congressman Mason for fair play, regardless of color or condition, The Bee presented the matter to him, and after being thoroughly convinced that the lady did not receive a square deal, offered a resolution in the House of Representatives requesting a report on the same. This is not the only case of such character. The Bee has published at least a dozen or more letters from young colored women who have been similarly treated. The colored people extend their thanks to Mr. Mason, and they only wish it was in their power to elect him President of the United States. Such a man would be a credit to the American people. The Bee hopes that every paper edited and published by colored Americans will reproduce this bill and resolution, so that the world may know that there is one patriotic white American in the lawmaking power of this Government, and a man in whom the colored Americans have confidence. All honor to the State of Illinois in sending to Congress a MAN. RALPH GIVEN. ESO. was a man who deserved to be present prosecutor in the Unit, Ralph Given, Esq. He has no title, but the respect and confidence remarkable. Notwithstanding the laws and informations he makes out, when he is ready to prosecute color of his skin or position in so as that the evidence brought before defendant to the court. Does that every member of the bar have to a judgeship, and it is hoped that his ability will be recognized. If there ever was a man who deserved to be rewarded with a promotion, it is the present prosecutor in the United States branch of the Police Court, Ralph. Given, Esq. He has not only the confidence of the people, but the respect and confidence of the bar. His memory is most remarkable. Notwithstanding the many hundred cases he prosecutes and informations he makes out, he never forgets the minutest detail when he is ready to prosecute. He knows no defendant by the color of his skin or position in society, if he conscientiously believes that the evidence brought before him is sufficient to present the defendant to the court. The Bee believes that every member of the bar would be glad to see him elevated to a judgeship, and it is hoped that the day is not far distant when his ability will be recognized and he be rewarded. A DISGRACE. administration going to improv disgraceful box-cars that leave sed people are compelled to ride, sed ladies going South with the box-cars to such an extent that the Is the railroad administration going to improve conditions in the South? These disgraceful box-cars that leave the Union Station, in which colored people are compelled to ride, should be taken off at once. Colored ladies going South with their children are packed in these box-cars to such an extent that the colored people will not much longer tolerate it. A very highly refined and educated colored lady, formerly a school teacher, was riding from the South to this city a few days ago. She was forced to apply to the conductor for the ladies' toilet. She was informed that there was only one for colored men and women. This is the reward for the sacrifices the colored people have made in defending the Government against the enemy. There is no accommodation whatever for the colored people, riding in these "jim-crow" cars going South. It is a disgrace on our American civilization to see these box-cars packed with men and women who can hardly breathe. Very often one of the seats is taken, by the vendors of fruits, cakes, cigars, tobacco and other merchandise. GARNET COMMUNITY CENTER The Red Cross and Patriotic Section will give a banquet to one hundred of our brave soldier and sailor boys Thursday evening, February 20, 1919, at the War Community Service Club No. 3, 2011 Georgia Avenue N. W. Prof. John R. Hawkins will address the audience. There will be other short addresses. The celebrated Amphion Glee Club are invited to render a few selections, under the direction of Prof. J. Henry Lewis. There will be music and dancing. Patriotic songs will be sung by one hundred brave boys and victory girls. One hundred victory girls are to chaperone the boys and make the evening a pleasant and enjoyable one. Officers of the Patriotic Section are: Captain Carrie B. Ford, centers, first company; Captain Rosetta E. Lawson, centers, second company; Captain Francis Nelson, centers, third company; Captain Aurelia Mays, centers, fourth company; Daniel Freeman, center president and promoter; Mrs. Gertrude Freeman, Patriotic Section secretary; Miss Emma Johnson, center vice president and chairman of Victory Girls. Major J. B. Ramsey, special assistant War Camp, Community Service, and his committee, will arrange for the entertainment at the club. All persons wishing to be placed on the patriotic honor, roll for the entertainment of soldiers can forward such contribution to the president of the Center, 1833 14th Street Northwest. Center meetings are held every Thursday evening at Phelps School, Vermont Avenue, between T and U Streets N. W. The Peace Congress, to be held under the auspices of the Colored American Forward Movement of the Frelinghuysen University, at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Tuesday evening, February 18, 1919, bids fair to be one of the most important gatherings ever assembled in the District of Columbia. Leading men and women from every section of the country will be in attendance. The Plenary Council will present a well-prepared statement covering every phase of the issues growing out of the world's war, and will bring forth plans calculated to secure the rights and liberties of the darker races. Addresses will be delivered by Prof. Kelly Miller, the logician of the race; Prof. John R. Hawkins, who has blazoned the way for the reconstruction of the United States in the League of Nations; Rev. Jas. L. Pinn, the historian of modern movements, and others. A splendid musical program will be rendered under the direction of Mr. Frank Johnson, Washington's favorite tenor, in which Miss Hattie White, the great contralto of Walker Memorial Church; Miss Leanna F. Johnson, the vocalist of the Frelinghuysen University; Miss Eleanor Rivers, the organist of the Berean Baptist Church; Mr. Edward Syphax, the well-known musician; Mr. Yates, organist of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, and Mr. Benj. Franklin Harris, the leader of the Glee Club of the Frelinghuysen University, will participate. Everybody should be there. FAIRMONT HEIGHTS; MD. There was an important meeting held Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. John N. Simmons, on Fairview Avenue, for the purpose of fixing the streets and installing electric lights. The object of the meting was clearly stated by Mr. Simmons, who was later unanimously elected president. Other officers elected were Messrs. W. H. Cash, secretary; W. M. Addison, treasurer. Some of those present were Messrs. Bennie West, Henry Clay, and S. J. Trotter. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Simmons. He belongs to the younger set of Washington, but he had the forethought and good judgment to come to the country and purchase a beautiful home. He at once saw the need of civic improvements and he is determined that living conditions shall be bettered. With his intelligent manner of going after things, the hearty cooperation of his charming young bride who was formerly Miss Ellen Jackson, of Lakewood, N. J., much is expected of him during his career. DEATH OF MISS BUMBRY. In 1873 there returned from Northern New York Mr. Jesse Bumbry, with his wife Margaret and six daughters. For years this great family was a light and an inspiration to the community in and near Bladensburg. Later they moved fo Deanwood, D. C. Miss Julia, the second daughter, taught school, and helped in the church work. She was baptized in 1876 by the late Rev. H. V. Plummer, ex-chaplain of the Ninth U. S. Cavalry, with Mrs. Lizzie Madison Williams, Mr. John Moss and Dr. R. F. Plummer, all of whom survive her. In 1917 she and her sister Courtney moved to Chicago to make their home with their eldest sister, Mrs. Anna Dunmore. It was there that she passed to the great beyond rather unexpectedly on Thursday, January 16, 1919. St. Paul's Baptist Church of Bladenburg mourns the loss of her who was for forty-three years an honored member. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev: Peter Ailer Has His Fourth Anniversary. Last Friday evening: January 31. Rev. Peter Ailer, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, ended the fourth anniversary of his pastorate of that church with a reception to his members and friends. The principal address was made by Rev. Robert H. Hawkins, pastor of the Trinidad Baptist Church, who recited very minute and eloquently the great work that has been done by the pastor and many interesting incidents in his life: He was followed by Rev. Benjamin F. Jackson, assistant pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, who delivered a short but interesting address. Editor W. Calvin Chase of The Bee was next introduced and made a few remarks. At the conclusion of the speech making a purse was presented to the pastor, Rev. Ailer, by Rev. Jackson. Afterward Mrs. Rosa Ailer, the pastor's wife, assisted by a committee of ladies, including Mrs. Hannah Robie, Mrs. Evelyn Allen, Mrs. Maggie Pratt, invited the guests to sit down to a bountiful repast, which was greatly enjoyed. The communion services at the Antioch Baptist Church last Sunday evening, Rev. Peter Ailer, pastor, were largely attended. DEANWOOD, CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION. The Citizens' Association of Deanwood, D. C., proposed at a recent meeting to make application to the District Commissioners for certain improvements in that locality, namely: Lights in West Ford Place and Lane Place; macadamizing Whittingham Place, Browning Street, Lane Place, Mead Street and Forty-fourth Street to Dean Avenue; the placing of a fire box at Forty-eighth and Mead Streets; lights and sanitary improvements in the Deanwood School. THOUSANDS GREET TYLER. Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 2.—The Y. M. C. A. Auditorium here was packed to the doors this afternoon and hundreds turned away unable to gain admission to hear Ralph W. Tyler, war correspondent, tell of our colored soldiers in France. His tribute paid to colored officers and men, to their valor, endurance and efficiency, brought tears and applause from the large audience. In a quiet, unaffected way, he told of the daring of our boys over in France. THE FIRST MEETING. Drive to Raise the District's Quota to Relieve the Starving Populations of the Near East. The first meeting of the executive committee named to conduct the drive to raise the District of Columbia's quota of $150,000 in the $30,000-000 campaign to relieve the starving populations of the Near East, was W. C. MARTIN, Attorney. Supreme Court of the District of Columbia—Holding Probate Court.—No. 25,463. Administration. This is to give notice, that the subscriber, of the District of Columbia, has obtained from the Probate Court of the District of Columbia, letters testamentary on the estate of John Keys, late of the District of Columbia, deceased. All persons having claims against the deceased are hereby warned to exhibit the same, with the vouchers thereof, legally authenticated, to the subscriber, on or before the 29th day of January, A. D. 1920; otherwise they may by law be excluded from all benefit of said estate. Given under my hand this 29th day of January, 1919. postponed to Thursday, February 6, at 4:30 p. m. It was to have been held the day preceding, but difficulty in getting out the notices in time made necessary the postponement. The meeting took place in the District building, District Commissioner W. Gwynn Gardiner presiding. The local drive will be held February 16 to 23. Gregory Doyle, director of the District of Columbia headquarters of the American committee for relief in the Near East, under the auspices of which the local campaign will be conducted, issued today a statement explaining the necessity of distinguishing carefully between the purposes of the $100,000,000 relief fund which Congress has placed at the disposal of the Government and the need for the $30,000,000 fund to be raised by charity. He said: "The people must understand the exact situation confronting the President and Mr. Hoover in their undertaking to overcome the present chaotic conditions now prevailing in the minor countries and affecting the unorganized races of peoples in Europe who are at present unable to help themselves over the period of reorganization and reconstruction. "A parallel situation would be that of a man who gives an assistant ten dollars with which to take ten starving men who have applied for aid to an eating place and see them fed. Someone telephones him that around the corner are five other men who are in great distress from hunger. Thereupon he calls back his assistant and tells him to take these other men and feed them likewise, but does not increase the amount of money allotted to the cost of carrying out his instructions. "Mr. Hoover is exactly in the position of the assistant in respect to the $100,000,000 appropriation by Congress. Congress amended the bill to include the sufferers of the Near-East, but did not increase the size of the appropriation. As passed, the appropriation will probably be inadequate, inasmuch as the amount asked for, $100,000,000, was to cover certain specific relief work which has already in itself grown to a magnitude unforeseen by Mr. Hoover. Therefore, unless the Near Eastern situation is cared for by the generosity of the American people in the nature of gifts, and liberal response made to the appeal of the American committee for relief in the Near East, there must necessarily be a curtailment of the program originally mapped out by Mr. Hoover for the relief work which America has promised the European sufferers." GRAVES' CAFE. Located at. 16 G Street Northwest Mr. Joseph S. Graves, 16 G Street N. W., has one of the best up-to-date cafes in the city. This place is patronized by the best citizens in the United States. It is the household word of every railroad man in the country. If you fail to visit Graves' on your arrival in the city you have missed a treat. This cafe is patronized because you can get hot bread, and hot cakes, any hour you call for them and any day in the hour. In the rear of the dining room Mr. Graves is erecting an oven in which to bake his own pies. He has planned to have the best home-made pies that can be served. This oven will turn out from ninety to one hundred pies daily. He has added to his culinary department Harvey's famous chief cook, who has won such a reputation for the once famous house. Now, if you want everything up-to-date and to meet your taste, you should not fail to visit Graves'—advert. Supreme Court of the District of Columbia—Holding Probate Court—No. 24,939, Administration.

Clark, the directress and president of Clark's National Training School, situated at 1600 Thirteenth Street N. W., in this city. No person has made greater sacrifices and been more persistent in their efforts to serve humanity than Madame Clark. She has been a benefactor to the lowly and needy. She has supported her school almost alone. She has educated young girls in the art of sewing, and today hundreds of them are practical dressmakers. She has graduated fully five hundred young girls in dressmaking, who are scattered throughout the country, and who are doing, good work. Some few years ago Madame Clarke established a small school for girls, but today she is the directress of one of the largest, if not the largest, sewing schools for girls that can be found in the United States. The building in which she conducts her work is a commanding structure at 1600 Thirteenth St. Elsewhere in The Bee this week, is a picture of her new school, which is being so successfully conducted. 1 and up for glasses fitted to your eyes guaranteed to give satisfaction 813 7th St. N.

She is a benefactress in this community, and if she continues as she has started the Clark National Training School will keep busy all idle females. Not only does she teach young girls the are of dressmaking, but she secures employment for every young girl graduate of her school. Five hundred or more have graduated, and every one has secured a position. This is a record of which any community or race should feel proud. Go and consult Madame Clark. Go today. Don't hesitate.

The Old Indian Herb Shop 1728 Seventh Street N.W. 9 Pertinent Comment by Wellington A. Adams—New York Syncopated Orchestra—"Messiah" Presented. New York Syncopated Orchestra. As an organization it is good, and with more preparation will do well to represent our race in the musical world as characteristic interpreters of American Negro music. The conductor, Mr. Will Marion Cook, is a great genius, but it is evident that he feels (with the white man) that our place in music is limited to syncopation. However, with ideal support of our best talent he can accomplish much good. The male quartettes were excellent in the jubilee songs and showed that they had worked together. Buddy Gilmore, the eccentric drummer, would be a scream in a minstrel show. Mazie Mullins and Frank Withers are also versatile in their line as performers on the trombone and saxophone, but I fail to see how such things as the "St. Louis Blues" do any good as a means of our race in concert music. "Messiah" Presented. A large audience of colored, with a sparcely number of white citizens, at the Tenth Street Congregational Church, gathered last Wednesday evening, January 20th, to hear the presentation of Handel's oratorio, "The Messiah," by the Howard University Choral Society. Miss Lulu Childers directing. Madame Florence Cole Talbert, of Detroit, Mich., assumed the leading role of soprano and proved herself an oratorio singer of distinction. Her recitatives and arias were marked by intelligent delivery and religious fervor, proving herself as becometh au artist. Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray sang well, showing good tone placement and excellent breath control. Mr. Roland Hayes displayed a voice of good quality in the lower, but is rather thin in the upper register. He has splendid breath control, however, and is an intelligent and well-trained performer. Mr. Vincent Hubbard, basso, did not appear to advantage, but was pleasing to a degree. The chorus sang with good attack and tone and their phrasing and shading were favorable. The accompanist to the soloists merits special praise in her piano performance. Mme. Cole-Talbert Popular. Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert, noted lyric soprano, of Detroit, Mich., a recent guest of Dr. and Mrs. W. L. L. Tignor, 921 S Street N. W., proved herself a versatile and popular guest during her stay in our city and added largely to her circle of friends. She is a keen student of music, a fluent conversationalist, and entertains her guest with a warmth of cordiality unsurpassed in dignity and refinement. As a vocalist she ranks ahead of them all, judging her work from any angle. She appears in concert in Baltimore, Md., February 11th, at Bethel A. M. E. Church; Philadelphia, February 12, at the Academy of Music, auspices of the Armstrong Association (white); and in New York City, February 13, auspices of the Daisy Tapley Series of recitals and lectures, leaving on February 30th, en route West. Mme. Talbert has appeared in the principal cities of the country, excepting the Southland. She also conducts a vocal studio at her home in Detroit, Mich. During her visit to this city she reviewed an original vocal composition of the writer, entitled "In My Midnight Dreams." She was so delighted with the song that the author, with her consent, decided to publish and dedicate the same to her some time during the year. Mme. Talbert also agreed to edit the "Vocal" column of The Music Master magazine. Several of her Detroit friends subscribed to the magazine through her efforts. Local Choirs Organizing. The Temporary Choir Association of the District of Columbia held another meeting last Sunday afternoon at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, which was its third assembling, after an invitation had been extended to all local choirs. The meeting proceeded smoothly and a desire was expressed that more of our choirs should become interested in this "union" movement among the singing forces of church and society. Not only choirs are welcomed, but all singing bodies, music clubs and musicians. This body will be incorporated as a national body, with State and local units operating; annual and biennial music congresses will be held, where our great choral organizations, artists and musicians may be heard to advantage. In this way only may colored musicians gain their proper status as a factor in the musical world, through organization. Another object is to elevate the standard of music in the social, religious and intellectual life of colored folks. Three lenominations presently are represented—A. M. E., Baptist, and A. M. C. Zion. Still others are desired, in- The Management of the Pythian Building (formerly True Reformers' Building) invites the attention of the public to inspect the halls set apart for dances, for private parties; the main auditorium for public or large affairs, all of which are highly sanitary and well ventilated.

During a visit to Mme. Talbert, at Dr., W. L. Tignor's residence, 921 S Street N. W., last Thursday afternoon, the writer had the pleasure of nearing Howard Conservatory's star vocal graduate, in the person of Mrs. Lillian Evans-Tibbs, in song, as well as the genial hostess. Both acquitted themselves grandly at the piano. Mr. E. Willis, Bradley, Pacific Coast tenor of repute, appeared in a splendid program at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, Southwest, last Monday evening. Send any items of musical interest to 1911 Ninth Street N. W. "ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY." Truly no one will have to be dull if he visits War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, for there, the committee of energetic citizens, with Mr., J. B. Ramsey in charge, does everything possible for the entertainment and amusement of our soldiers and sailors. As they have worked, they must be taught to play, and to play in the right way. "The club ministers to all the needs of the men who come into its place. It in fact may be termed a real "heaven of rest." Large crowds come daily, and numbers of men now make Club No. 3 their "permanent home," so to speak. It speaks well for the citizens of Washington, under the leadership of such persons as Judge Robert H. Terrell, Mr. Frank Well, Mrs. Julia M. Layton, Mr. Ferdinand D. Lee, Miss Julia Davis, Dr. Ionia R. Whipper, Miss Anna D. Bell, Mrs. Hattie Henderson, Mrs. Mildred Coleman, Mrs. Lucy Pollard, the Misses Alexander, Miss Hallie Queen, Miss Maria Scott and Martha Henson, that they work so untiringly for the entertainment of these men. They appreciate it. Donations of books, magazines, periodicals have been received, and one sympathetic woman, Mrs. Ella M. Lynch, gave a number of canes, to be used as walking sticks for the boys of the Walter Reed Hospital desiring them. All sorts of amusements are given at the club, and quite recently a real "dress" affair was held. The Red Cross units see that a feast of good things to eat is set before the soldiers and sailors, and they even do better than that, for they see that automobiles are provided and the men attend divine worship. Community singing is a feature, and Mr. Miller and his band was an added attraction on one occasion. Visiting friends have also contributed, as is evidenced by the fact that Miss East and Mrs. Pauline G. Attwell, both vocalists of rare ability, have rendered selections.

On Saturday last a company of white players under the direction of Mr. Robert W. Bell, entertained the patrons of the club with a delightful little comedy, "Chums." A capacity audience greeted these players. Dancing followed the program. The interest of the club management, however, does not stop with the entertainment and amusement of the soldiers and sailors, but the welfare of these men is taken into account, and a branch of the Employment Office, of the United States Department of Labor, under Mr. A. H. Underdown, is maintained in the club. Numbers of young men have been assisted in finding employment both here and elsewhere, and the office stands ready to aid these young men at all times in getting themselves adjusted to new conditions. On Saturday night, February 8th, Mr. Joseph H. Douglass, the eminent concert violinist and teacher, will give a recital at the club. ITEMS ON THE WING. Relative, to the madman in the District of Columbia, we were surprised that he turned out to be colored, as his victims stated that he was white. However, if he is the one, let him suffer the consequences of his acts. A great many white people blame the whole race for the acts of a few of its bad members; the good-thinking, however, know different—and think different. In the near future the Republicans will put up as their standard bearer Senator Harding of Ohio, or General Pershing. If the G. O. P. works right, they will sweep the country. Major General Ballou, who commanded the 92nd Division, in which the colored draftees from the District of Columbia were, has nothing but praise for their acts overseas. The boys got there in great shape. * * * Daylight saving to be resumed on March 30, 1919.
