You Must Come High Before You Enter VOL. XXXIX. NO. 37 Refo DR. DURKEE MA AT HOW You Must Come High President Durkee Makes Reforms. Must Be Prepared to Enter Greater Howard. Higher education for the Negro has found a wonderful champion in the person of Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, the new president of Howard University. At the meeting of the board of trustees on February 7th, President Durkee presented to the board a number of recommendation's which, if adopted, would make the future of higher education safe in Howard University. The recommendations were adopted by the board. Although President Durkee has been at the university but five months, he has in that short time gained such a perfect knowledge of the needs of of the university, and of conditions in the University, that he has been able to make recommendations touching upon every phase of its life. The university will be reorganized on the junior college plan, with senior schools. After the completion of two years' work in the junior college, the student will enter one of the senior schools for special training. The senior grades will be composed of the schools of medicine, law, theology, music, applied science, journalism, commerce and finance, liberal arts, education and general service. Thus it is seen that President Durkee has added four schools to the six which already existed. In order that the university may take its proper place among the higher institutions of learning, the secondary work done by the Academy and Commercial School will be discontinued at the end of this school year. It is hoped that the work of the academy can be turned over to some other institution. The work of the Commercial School is to be raised to a college grade in the WELCOME DUDLEY NOME. S. H. Dudley and his Darktown Frolics should do a phenomenal business at the Howard Theatre week of February 24, this being the home of the attraction and its proprietor. The company was organized, rehearsed and staged in Washington. Since being taken out on a tour, it has been playing to capacity houses ever since the opening in Red Lion, Pa., a few months ago. All of the New York people speak very highly of the attraction. As an added feature, Mr. Dudley and his famous nule will appear for this engagement only. We expect an overflowing attendance. Dudley holds the honor of playing to more money at the Howard Theatre than any other company has ever done. From all indications and gossip, we look for the popular comedian to surpass his own record. The name of S. H. Dudley is well known in Washington among the amusement-seekers. He has kept vaudeville aliye. After Mr. Thomas decided to put in the Lafayette Players and furnish us with a higher class of entertainment, the little Dudley Theatre was the only theatre in this section that continued its methods of furnishing us with vaudeville and providing work for our people. When it comes to theatricals, we must hand it to A. J. Thomas and S. H. Dudley, for they have furnished us with every variety of amusement. Let's help. Dudley break his own record the week of February 24th. Order tickets early. It is already rumored that there will be an extra matinee Friday on account of the large demand for advance tickets. One would think that Rutus Byers, popular manager of the theatre, must have part interest in the show from The Washington Bee Offices of dean of men and dean of women were created by the board upon the recommendation of the president. These officers will have great influence upon the student life at the university. The creation of a registrar's office is another new feature which will be in operation next year. President Durkee went far in the improvement of the morale of his teaching force. Upon his recommendation a graduated scale of salaries was adopted. He thus enables his teachers to go, at their work with a greater singleness of purpose than ever before. Promotion in rank will depend upon moral character, cooperation and efficiency. He presented plans to the board for creating greater interest in the university among its graduates and former students. The board voted the adoption, and in April a representative will be sent out to cooperate with the local alumni all over the country, in building up a greater Howard spirit. The board of trustees also adopted the recommendations of the president for the improvement of the grounds and the erection of new buildings. A government landscape expert will supervise the work of laying out "Victory Avenue," which is to commemorate the part played by Howard men in the world war. The buildings are to be erected along the lines suggested by the Commission of Fine Arts. Under the leadership of President Durkee Howard University will next year begin with its work greatly expanded in scope and character. Quite naturally one will ask where he will get his workers. The answer is—from the best of the Negro race. the way he is boosting and working for it. He is certainly hustling hard for Dudley and his company. We love to see these managers work in harmony: boost and pull together. All we can say is, "Welcome Dudley home." Let's hang up a new record. HALL'S HILL, VA., NOTES. The soldiers from the Walter Reed Hospital were entertained by the Soldiers' War Relief Society. The community turned out en masse to welcome them. The school house was turned over for the day. They were carried out under the leadership of Harry Ricks of Washington, D. C., in his lovely new automobile, and the cars of other friends. Upon their arrival hot coffee and sandwiches were served to warm them up, preceded by an up-to-date dinner with everything a-plenty, and with plenty of smokes. The table was decorated with our national colors, and were served by ten attractive waitresses, under the supervision of Mrs. Sarah B. Anderson. A short but spicy literary program was rendered. The introduction was by President Mrs. E. V. Ferguson. Mr. Anderson offered prayer. Selections were rendered by Mrs. Lucretia Lewis and Mrs. E. M. Thornton. Mr. T. W. Hyson made the address of welcome. Miss Fannie Chinn rendered a piano solo. Mrs. Viola Bolden presided at the piano. The audience joined in singing patriotic songs.

At the after meeting there were three conversions. At 3 p. in. the Rev. Mr. Stevenson, pastor of Mt.

Greater Things Coming. The first innovation made by Columbia Lodge of Elks, No. 85, was last Sunday afternoon at its headquarters, 911 T Street N. W., when the lodge opened its doors to the public by appropriate exercises designated by the presiding officer, Mr. James Howards, as the Social Hour. The main reception room, in which the exercises were held, and every available space in the large halls, was filled with the members, their wives and a large number of lady visitors and other specially invited guests. Mr. Clyde Kelly, of Pennsylvania, who was booked to make the opening address, on account of a previous engagement and a misunderstanding of the hour, was not present. Mr. Kelly was booked for February 2, but a change in the date by the lodge prevented his attendance. However, Editor W. Calvin Chase was introduced and made a few remarks. He was followed by Miss Ida Plummer, who made a very eloquent and entertaining address, which was highly appreciated by the vast crowd present. She was loudly applauded throughout her address. Attorney Charles S. Williams; one of the most eloquent lawyers at the bar, was the next speaker. His address was humorous and pleasing. Exalted Ruler E. W. Bundy was next introduced in glowing terms by the presiding officer. He told of the great work Mr. Bundy had accomplished and what the lodge hoped to accomplish in the future with Mr. Bundy at its head. At the conclusion of his address Exalted Ruler Bundy stepped to the front of the platform and apologized for not being an orator. He said that he was a worker, and his efforts have been to help his fellow man. He said that he was proud of the organization and its members; that when he first assumed charge there, was a small amount in the treasury, but today the Fighting the Hun Over There." * * * The Falls Church Branch of the N.

D., who was passing through the city en route to France in the interest of his race. Dr. Jernagin is president of the National Race Congress and pastor of Mount Carmel Baptist Church of Washington, D. C. He is a man of great force of character and a prominent race man. He goes to France to represent the Race Congress. This farewell meeting was held at the Salem Baptist Church, of which Rev. R. C. Judkins, D. D., is pastor. Ample preparations had been made and the meeting was one long to be remembered. The Baptist Ministers' Conference of Newark and vicinity was largely represented by a committee that had been appointed for that purpose. Stirring patriotic addresses were delivered by Drs. David Robinson, J. 'N. Burton, H. M. Mitchell, W. S. Smith, P. G. James, G. E. Cannon, W. A. Byrd, C. T. Wilcher, J. L. Corruthers, and the President of the Ministers' Conference, Dr. H. E. Jackson.

I am no orator, but a worker, and in conclusion I want to thank you for your presence at our opening meeting." Benediction was offered by Exalted Ruler Bundy, and the guests were invited to go through the entire building, which was done, and many compliments were extended to the organization by those who took advantage of the occasion.

Cheek and Judson, for Grand Central Station, New York City, where he began his journey to Portland, Me., from whence he sailed for France. Dr. A. J. Stokes, of Montgomery.

TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW LONG There are so many so-cained hairgrowers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seechy's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your crudgist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

On Station and one-half block from WOOD, Proprietor FREE BIRTHDAY READINGS BY THE GREAT OSMAN December 25th—Your birth gives you a quiet, thoughtful, serious nature, deep mind and good nature; generally practical and economical; act with dignity and self-esteem; are somewhat particular, ambitious, and persevering; never entirely discouraged, although often disappointed. You are also careful and frugal and can be well depended upon, especially to help others. I could write a book about your very interesting life, but space does not permit; yet I will say that you deserve a lot of credit for good deeds done, for services rendered to those in need, as 1 SUN MARS AURORA VENUS EARTH SOLAR NUTS SATURN URANUS MERCURY see you have a kind heart, and a mind full of helpful resources. What an eventful, mixed-up life you have had! You have escaped some serious troubles, as I notice you are a powerful spiritualist and a great helper to suffering humanity. Leave your past aside and start anew. You have a wonderful life ahead of you. But be careful, as this is a year of difficulties, though it will seem to you to be a year that you may dare and do the impossible, yet you must caution yourself and go slow, and in some things you must hold back, and if you are careful your spirit guides will be able to help you avoid the unpleasant things that are before you this year. Your planet Venus is badly crossed this year, hence be careful in your love affairs and in your marriage prospects. Avoid risky changes, be careful of certain men and some mean, jealous, evil-minded people of both sexes. You should lecture on personal purity, social science and spiritual and religious subjects and impress people well with your uplifting powers. The year 1919 is a rather favorable, but a mixed-up and disturbed year, yet you will be the means of helping and making a lot of people happy, as that seems to be your mission in life. Develop your higher powers, be prepared, for there are many spirit guides waiting to communicate through you some startling messages to their loved ones here on earth. May God bless and help you in your wonderful work. December 11, 1882—You have a iovial, bright, hopeful, generous and charitable nature. You are self-reliant, active, enterprising, frank, outspoken, honest, ambitions and not easily discouraged. You love freedom and liberty and dislike a master and will not be driven. You can well follow your first thought or your intuitions. You are a good wife and a good niether. You can succeed in business and you would be fair and square in your dealings. Many try to harm you, but you have the powerful help from God and you are shielded and protected. Your husband must guard against accidents and illness and you must also be careful and not overtax yourelf or your nerves, blood and stomach will suffer. Troubles through others is your lot, so have trust in God and pray for help and guidance as well as protection. You are facing some unpleasantness, but a happier and better life in the long run. February 13th — By developing your powers properly you should become very successful in a commercial and business enterprise. Though you love home and home comforts you should be directed in business attainments. You have your own way about doing things. You are clever and deep and can be relied upon as you are a great worker. There is nothing lazy about you, and people who treat you right will find in you a friend. When people all you an injustice they are bound to hear from you, for though you are not revengeful, yet you will light for the right, as you are not a coward. You are brave and determined and you have a more successful life ahead of you. I see the evil times in your life, but cheer up, the best is before you, and you can go straight ahead, as there is nothing for you to fear. Your enemies cannot harm you. There are uncertain conditions in operation for you this year, as to changes, friends, family affairs, anxieties and unpleasantness are indicated, but nothing very serious or disastrous, so cheer up, your luckiest life is to come. August 28, 1899-You are modest. 42 thoughtful, earnest, refined, contemplative and industrious; you desire to refine the mind and acquire knowledge; you wish for wealth, but you are not able to easily save money; you are very active, and you have great endurance, and you will always appear young and grow old gracefully. Though you get mad, yet you get over it quickly, and in sickness or when you are under some serious strain, when others collapse, you show great endurance and recuperate quickly. Your weakest point is your discontent. You have good command of language, love refinement and strive for a better life. You make a good teacher; you will take great interest in reforms, hygienic movements, the betterment of the race—as the welfare of others is close to your heart. You should write and lecture on the higher educational problems. You will travel in foreign countries and form friendships with some very prominent people. You will marry and be very happy. You have a number of admirers, and you are watched and admired, but this is not your marriage year, and it is not the best year, so be careful and guard against undesirable lovers—those that may hinder you in your life's progress. Apply yourself in your studies continuously; prepare yourself well for your wonderful life-work ahead of you, as it will be a useful, happy and prominent one, full of glorious events; but do not forget to be good and true to yourself. Look well after your health. Deccember 18, 1883.—You are too sympathetic for your own good. You have a persevering nature; you are noble and high-minded. You are a self-made woman. I see the many difficulties you had to surmount. You are popular with the opposite sex. You hold a position of trust and can be relied upon. I see a man in your life that should appreciate and trust you more and not hurt your feelings but do all in his power to make you happy, as you are good luck to him. Your prospects for some time this winter are not very good, but the summer months are favorable and you can make your plans and accomplish a great deal. While your affairs are on the improvement, there is troubles in the family that will tend to annoy and upset you. June 8, 1898.—You may wonder why you are so often restless, and dissatisfied, though your condition in life is favorable. You have a peculiar influence hovering over you that makes it hard to understand you. People like you first and then change and turn away from you, due to this peculiar condition, which can be overcome by prayer, concentration and self-understanding. You are very intelligent and are striving for the higher attainments in life, but it would be wise for you to fathom the deep mysteries of your own nature and not find fault with others who are mystified by your peculiar nature. You are clever, quick-witted and very entertaining, and you can accomplish a great deal; you are fit for a higher education and will become very popular. You will be successful in business, in literature, in music and the arts; you have a diversity of talents and ability. You are not very fortunate now in your love affairs, so do not depend upon the outlook, though it may be good; it does not tend to marriage. The next few years are more decided in your favor. You are admired and loved and well spoken of, but your conditions are such that you cannot feel very happy, despite the good times you may have. The man that says he does not love you is not honest with himself. He really means he cannot master and control you as he would like to. You are too much for him. When he gets well acquainted with your inner beautiful soul power he will seek you and rave over you. He will not make you a good, loyal husband. Do the same as you have. Avoid changes. Many new friends are indicated and opportunities offered for you to enjoy yourself. THEY NEVER DECLINE. The way the colored people are warming up to the appeal to help the starving population of the Near East is little short of mervulous. Chairman Garner says he has found a warmth of interest and sympathy for the suffering peoples of other countries, regardless of race and color. "It may be," he says, "that the things we have suffered have given us a keen sympathy for all who suffer. At any rate, it is a good sign that we are making progress in civilization when, in spite of our own poverty, we can appreciate the words of Him who said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "An excellent committee of citizens has been selected and the week of February 16 to 23 should see the most unselfish work accomplished."

IT IS A LOST M Misfortunes that have befallen many enterprises under the supervision of some people have been due to bad management and bad advice. The Bee has now in view the great Masonic Hall that was to have been erected by the Masons of this city, and which failed because the failures in the organization became jealous of the success of those who were to have erected this great monument to the colored Masons. There were two factions in this great organization—certain half whites or would-like-to-be whites, and the blacks or high browns. Under the grand mastership of Nelson E. Weatherless the Masonic organization never had brighter hopes for a great Masonic building, which would have been a monument to the colored people not only of this city, but of the United States. Prof. Weatherless, the first and only grand master to be a success, possessed elements and characteristics that no other man in the order possesses or ever will possess, which made him a successful factor in the Masonic organization. First, he is an educator with ability. Second, he is a lawyer—a necessary requisite in life. Third, he is an educated mechanic and a printer of ability. And, lastly, he possesses business qualifications. With such a characteristic combination nothing could prevent him from succeeding. He collected, singly and almost alone, sufficient funds to erect a Masonic Temple. He succeeded in purchasing the ground which had been formerly purchased by a corporation that was organized to build a theatre. The colored corporation put a white man at the head who was paid to erect this theatre, and was about to deplete the treasury by paying him a salary. Mr. John C. Dancy came to the rescue and saved enough money from the wreck by selling to the Masonic organization the valuable piece of property situated at the corner of Tenth and You Streets N. W. There is not a more conscientious man in this country than Mr. Dancy. He envies no one, and if he can't advance your interest he will not be a party to destroy it. There is an envious clique in the Masonic organization that has never succeeded in anything, and its ambition is to destroy because others have succeeded. The color line was drawn. The high browns were in the majority and were succeeding in spite of the lily whites in this Masonic body, who have always failed. They succeeded, however, in convincing enough weak-minded individuals to aid in retiring a good man, a man who was succeeding in erecting a Masonic monument, and they placed a novice at its head, who was retired after the first year of his election. This great Masonic body was upon the map, but today the great monument is a thing of the past, and the organization is not what it used to be under the administration of Prof. Nelson E. Weatherless. What this great scholar and organizer had accomplished and turned over to the Masonic body has been lost. It is a lost monument to this great Masonic organization. Is there a man to be found who will give his time, talent and labors free, like Mr. Weatherless? Is there a man to be found who will spend his own money to help others, as Mr. Weatherless has done? Will those who conspired against him to satisfy the ambition of the old grim master come out of the ruins? There must be a resurrection among the entire membership and their "bodies washed in the blood of the Lamb" before there ever will be a Masonic building erected such as Prof. Weatherless was to erect. The hundred thousand dollar building that he intended to erect will today cost three hundred thousand dollars. Will the present administration attempt it? One would suppose that the Masonic oath that is taken in joining the order would always prevail. There is as much dirty politics in the colored Masonic body as there is in state and ward politics. The Masonic oath among some Masonic members has no more efficacy than a jackass has to a 5,000-ton locomotive going up a mountain. IT IS A LOST MONUMENT. Brilliant Affair Given at the Home of Mr. and Mrs. John Bell. A brilliant affair, a "peace party," was given at the cozy residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Bell. 228 F Street S. W., Friday evening. February 7th. The host and hostess were assisted by their charming, graceful and fascinating daughters, the Misses Rather, Grace and Ruth, and their popular son, Mr. Raleigh Bell. At the conclusion of a period of enjoyment, which consisted of instrumental music, interspersed with the latest popular victrola selections, the guests were invited to partake of a luxurious repast, which comprised the season's delicacies, much to their appreciation, after which the festivities of the evening were resumed until those present retired to their respective homes, elated over the evening's entertainment.

Johnson, who is confined at Walter Reed Hospital, received from Mr. Chas. W. Bryan, associate editor of the Commoner, of which ex-Secretary of State William J. Bryan is editor, a very flattering letter concerning the colored soldiers. Mr. Bryan says: "My only son, whom you will remember, Sillas M. Bryan, is captain of colored infantry and was on the Metz front the last three weeks during the war. He and his colored company are still occupying the dugouts that they were in at the close of the war and they have not heard when they are to be returned, to the United States or whether they are to be sent to Germany. He is proud of his com- pany and reports that in his judgment no one had a braver company, more patriotic or better soldiers than the company of colored boys that he took from Camp Dodge to France the latter part of last August. Again wishing you a speedy recovery, and assuring you of the appreciation of a grateful nation for sacrifices you have made, I am, DR. MOTON BANQUETED. Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 8.-On Saturday evening.

THE ARMSTRONG. Armstrong Manual Training School basket ball team lived up to its traditions in finding Dunbar no big stumbling block in the victorious path of the Tech five. The first game resulted 21 to 14 in Dunbar gym and the second game resulted 33 to 11 in the Armstrong gym, in favor of Armstrong. Dunbar's playing was too individualistic. Contrariwise Armstrong exhibited all of the good points of team play. Cawthorne of Armstrong pulled off the biggest scoring, with 22 points to his credit. For Dunbar Lee played, the strongest game. Amos and Tyler of Armstrong captured seven goals from the field and Burnett threw, three from the foul line. Freeman, with five from the field, and one each by Jones, Glascoe and Lee, and from the foul line five by Freeman and four by Glascoe made the total count for Dunbar in both games. Mr. John, Wilkinson officiated in his usually efficient style. SEND EARLY. SEND EARLY.

Dr. Plummer expects to return to Chicago in the near future to resume his work. He was making rapid progress when drafted, which is proven by the fact that during the epidemic of the "flu" he was pressed into the medical department without the usual red tape, and made good.

Court Refuses an Injunction—SubCommittee of Management Meets. Grand Master Morris Congratulated. Philadelphia, Pa., January 13.—The Sub-Committee of Management mpt in Headquarters Building, northwest corner 12th and Spruce Streets, Philadelphia, Pa., Monday morning, January 13, 1919. The meeting was opened in due form, and the death of the late Grand Director, George H. Mays, was formally announced. A committee was appointed to take suitable action in relation thereto. The officers having been re-elected in New York last September, were duly inducted into their respective offices. For Grand Master Morris, the Grand Secretary, James F. Needham, administered the oath. In turn each of the other officers read the oath of office and were formally declared installed, the official roster as completed being as follows: Edward H. Morris, grand master. Dr. I. L. Roberts, deputy grand master. James F. Needham, grand secretary. W. David Brown, grand treasurer. A. T. Shirley, grand director. J. H. Johnson, grand director. B. V. Baranco, grand director. Jesse L. Nicholas, grand director. To fill the vacancy caused by the death of Grand Director Mays, the Sub-Committee of Management unanimously elected Robert T. Thomas of Pensacola, Fla. Bro. Thomas is district grand secretary of District Grand Lodge No. 27 (Florida), and had the endorsement of the executive committee of the District Grand Lodge and of Bro. Frank P. Gadson and J. S. La Roche, respectively, treasurer and president of the endowment bureau of the District Grand Lodge. For the information and guidance of all concerned, the Sub-Committee of Management adopted the following resolution: "Be it resolved by the Sub-Committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in session assembled on the 13th day of January, A. D., 1919, in the City of Philadelphia, Pa., that each and every District Grand Master and each and every District Grand Secretary of each and every District Grand Lodge under the jurisdiction of the Sub-Committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America be and they and each of them are and is hereby directed, in their official capacity to within thirty days from date of the receipt of a copy of this resolution, direct and instruct in writing each and every lodge, through its permanent secretary or noble grand, within the jurisdiction of each District Grand Lodge that all communication from a lodge intended for the Sub-Committee of Management shall be directed and sent to James F. Needham. Grand Secretary, 12th and Spruce Streets, Philadelphia, Pa., and to no other person and that such District Grand Master and District Grand Secretary shall within forty (40) days from the receipt of a copy of this resolution certify to this Sub-Committee of Management under the hand and seal of the District Grand. Lodge the way and manner they have carried out this resolution." In the case of Past Grand Masters Council No. 403 and Excelsior Lodge No. 7335, both of New York and each of which had been suspended and fined $10 by District Grand Lodge No. 2, the Sub-Committee of Management confirmed the action of the District Grand Lodge. Shortly after the convening of the Sub-Committee of Management one W. L. Houston and one Henry Lincoln Johnson, followed by a heterogeneous retinue, entered the building, some crowding the elevators and others stalking up the stairway to the third floor and to the door of the Sub-Committee of Management chamber, where they were confronted by Grand Secretary James F. Needham and John C. Asbury, one of the attorneys for the Sub-Committee of Management. Assuming an arrogant attitude the two who essayed the role of spokesmen defiantly demanded that they be permitted to enter the chamber "to install these officers who had been elected in New York in September, and to take charge of the building, the funds, records, and effects of the Order!" Grand Secretary Needham and Attorney. Asbury resolutely informed them that they were there on a fool's errand and ordered them to leave the building instanter under pain of arrest for trespass, and that if they wanted to try to enforce their de- mands they had better try it by court process. They then slunk out of the building with jaded tread and humiliated mien. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon two deputy sheriffs entered the building with court writs summoning each member of the Sub-Committee of Management: (1) praying that a receiver be appointed to take over, and manage all properties, etc., and (2) That each member of the Sub-Committee of Management answer in quo warranto proceedings as to why they should not vacate the offices held by them to the contenders. The Sub-Committee of Management remained in executive session until 10:30 p.m. transacting the business of the Order, and at that time opened the doors and accepted the services from the deputy sheriffs. The Sub-Committee of Management resumed its sessions Tuesday morning and will continue them until its business shall have been completed. A preliminary hearing was set by the court for Friday, January 17, at which time the issue of the receivership and injunction will be tried. Injunction Refused. Philadelphia, Pa., January 17, 1919. In Common Pleas Court No. 3, in equity session, Judge W. C. Ferguson, at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon, refused to issue an injunction against Grand Master Edward H. Morris and the other members of the Sub-Committee of Management filling offices as members thereof with him, to restrain them from continuing in and exercising the functions of the offices held by them; and also declined to appoint a receiver to take over and manage all properties and assets of the Order. This was the court's reply to the bill in equity filed by a number of individuals, who claimed that they had been elected last September as members of the Sub-Committee of Management and were being kept out by Grand Master Morris and the others associated with him. Judge Ferguson in setting forth his reasons for so refusing and declining, said, in substance: "As the court sees the matter, it appears to be a dispute as to who shall hold the offices—Grand Master Morris and those who are now in, or those who want to get in, but are on the outside. "I will not," continued the learned judge, "issue any such injunction, because it will leave the great organization without official guidance and directorship and will cause it to cease functioning—and that ought not to be, as the hundreds of thousands of members should be protected in their interests. "And I will not appoint a receiver for the Order, as to do so would simply mean to wreck it—to break it up." At the conclusion of Judge Ferguson's pronouncement, Grand Master Morris and other members of the Sub-Committee of Management were showered with congratulations by the large number present in the court room. Sergeant Coubrough Makes Appeal in Name of Humanity. A heart-gripping story of the sufferings, of the Armenian refugees, was told last Monday night (February 10) before a representative audience at the Howard Theater by Sergeant Alexander T. Coubrough, a battle-scarred veteran of the Gallipoli campaign. Sergeant Coubrough who was brought to Washington by the Armenian Committee for Relief in the Near East in connection with the District of Columbia Near East Relief Drive: February 16 to 23, inclusive, spoke during the intermission. "The Australian Anzaes were in training in Egypt," he said, "when word came to us that we were to be sent to Gallipoli to take part in the shore operations of the Dardanelles campaign. We were disappointed, for all of us had hoped to go to France. We were at Alexandria waiting for a transport to take us to the Turkish front, when the United States battleship Tennessee came into port bringing a load of Armenian refugees. "Neyer have I seen a sight to equal that of these miserable remnants of a massacred race who came ashore. At their head walked a sightless Belgian priest, a missionary, whose eyes, we afterwards learned, had been gouged out on orders. of a German commander of Turkish troops to whom he had dared appeal in behalf of the crippled children under his care. Behind the priest walked a miserable batch of tottering old men and women, and toddling, emaciated children. All young Armenian men between the ages of 18 and 35, these refugees told us, had been made to walk into the sea, their arms manacled, until the waters PHONE NORTH 7154 Madeline Beauty Parlor Shampooing Manicuring Hair Dressing Scalp Treatment Facial Massage Electric Treatment MARY M. SMITH 905 You Street, N. W. Toilet preparations and hair goods of superior quality BRODT'S HATS closed over them and they drowned. The young girls and women had been sent to slavery in the Turkish harems. "Then and there each and every one of us swore a solemn oath that we would avenge these people. We went to Gallipoli with fire in our hearts, and though 15,000 of the Anzacs went to their death, we did not falter. The picture of these refugees was ever before us. We gave our blood to avenge them. -We ask merely that you Washingtonians give a few of your dollars to save the people of Armenia from final annihilation through starvation." Thirty, thousand building trades workers of Newark, N. J., will strike July 1st. No beer, no work. * * * During the War of '76 a majority of the command of General Marion were young colored men. The biggest portion of, General Jackson's command, when the British tried to take New Orleans, were colored. (And the colored American denied his rights of citizenship.) What the colored American wants in this country is simply his civil rights—as guaranteed under the laws of the United States. With all the good things the United States has done for Europe, they are being repaid in contrary manner. In one instance, the industries of the United States are jeopardized by the embargoes of England and Italy. There is an old adage, viz., "Charity begins at home." The best thing for the United States to do is to attend to the United States and let Europe alone. $25.00 REWARD For Medal and Jewelry marked LYNE. No questions. No prosecution.
