Government Makes Strong for Conviction. Prosecutors Arth and Archer Make Strong Legal Points. VOL. XXXIX. NO. 43 Moen TESTIMONY TOO RE Government Makes St tion. Prosecutors Make Strong Legal P One of the Most Sensational Cases That Has Ever Been Tried—Prominent Young Colored Women in Naked Poses and Unnatural Acts Testified to Miss Charlotte Hunter, a Teacher in the Public Schools—Eating Soup With the Artist—Helen Saunders a Star Witness for the Prosecution—An Immense Crowd, Packs the Courtroom—Assistant United States Attorneys Orth and Archer Prosecute for the Government—Attorney Evans Is for the Defense. Everybody who could obtain admission to Criminal Court No. 2, Judge McCoy presiding, was present Monday, and Tuesday mornings to hear the case of the United States against Prof. H. M. D. Moens, the ethnologist. The case of the Government was made by Prosecuting Attorney Arth, assisted by Prosecuting Attorney Archer. Mr. Orth, in a quiet, easy and pointed manner, presented the Government side and what he would prove. At the conclusion of his introductory he was followed by counsel for the defense, who was on several occasions challenged by the Government counsel for statements not germain to his defense, which were sustained by the Court. The first witness called for the prosecution, was Sergeant Detective Hulen, who testified to going to the residence of Prof. Moens. His testimony was brief. Special Agent Corcoran of the Department of Justice testified that he went to the boarding place of Prof. Moens, 1416 Eleventh Street N. W., with a search warrant, and found Prof. Moens with Charlotte Hunter eating soup. He was asked how both were dressed. Prof. Moens was dressed, in a neglige and Miss Charlotte Hunter had on a house dress. He found several nude pictures—eight, in all—of colored girls, which were offered in evidence. He testified that Prof. Moens admitted that he had certain illicit relations with a girl by the name of Helen Saunders and committed unnatural acts with her; that he Moens, took two naked poses of Miss Saunders, which were offered in evidence. His testimony was too revolting to print. Prof. Leonard of the Board of Education and also a special agent in the Department of Justice, gave some very damaging testimony in the case. He testified that he had met Prof. Moens at the Cosmos Club and once at the Department of Justice, where he, Moens, was being investigated. Helen Saunders, Special Agent Leonard said, stated in the presence of ten persons, Prof. Moens being present, at the Department of Justice, what her relations were on several occasions with Prof. Moens. Helen Saunders' testimony was very revolting. Miss Parsons, of the Homeopathic Hospital, testified that she had posed in a nude condition for Prof. Moens, after which he wrote her a letter, which the Government offered in evidence, requesting her to call at his studio, but she refused. The letter contains words of a complimentary character, to the effect that, of all the Venuses, her pose was the best etc. Incidents in the Trial Tuesday. Judge McCoy admonished the spectators not to indulge in levity. When Special Agent Corcoran was testifying, and when he related what Prof. Moens admitted what his conduct had been toward the Saunders girl, there was laughter. The Court ordered everybody except lawyers and the jurors to leave the room. The Washington Bee One juror, when Miss Parsons was testifying, asked the nurse if she associated with colored people. She said, "No, but that she had Indian blood in her veins." This question asked by the juror was the occasion of much silent comment. The jury is composed of the following men: Wm. C. Miller, Wm. C. Van Horn, Lewis E. Dudley, Edw. Brinkman, J. B. Shelton, W. W. Tuckey, L. C. Morrison, Henry C. Easalliorst, John C. Rabbitt, Joseph C. Wilkinson, Frank E. Chisellin and Frederick E. Reisinger. Among many present at the session Tuesday were George C. Smith, Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Attorneys A. W. Scott, L. M. King, A. W. Gray, Charles I. Hill, P. W. Frisby, Harry and C. L. Tignor, J. A. Cobb, R. R. Horner, ex-Judge E. M. Hewlett, Dr. C. W. Childs, Roscoe C. Bruce and many school teachers. Third Day's Session—Wednesday, March 26th. At 10 o'clock this morning the corridors of Criminal Court No. 2 were crowded, and every sent in the court room was taken. A special agent of the Department of Justice was the first to testify. He testified to what Prof. Moens said to him, and corroborated the testimony of Mr. Corcoran and Prof. Learned. Miss. Bertha Taylor Young, who resides at 1452 P Street N. W., testified that she had been acquainted with Prof. Moens since 1908; that she didn't want to pose, but she did so eventually. She accompanied Helen Saunders to his studio. On being asked by Mr. Arth what they did; she said they danced around, in a nude state. On being asked whether she was paid, she answered that she was not. Miss Juanita Arthur, who resides at 1107 17th Street N. W., and employed in the War Risk Bureau, testified that she went to see Prof. Moens in response to an advertisement for girls; that the salary was fifty dollars per month. She said that she saw Miss Charlotte Hunter, who asked me if I could do office work. Then she talked to Prof. Moens in French, after which she said I would suit. I was asked to pose, she testified, which she refused to do at first, but finally posed for him. She also brought six other girls there, she said. When she was asked who was present, she said Miss Hunter. Miss Arthur said that she was measured, but was rejected because I had no dimple on a certain part of my body. Ruth Barnsley testified that she called in response to an advertisement, where she was told by Miss Hunter that Prof. Moens wanted to correct the charge that colored people were inferior to white people. Carrie Wilkins, twenty years old, testified that she went to Prof. Moens with a girl. Eleanor May Swan, eighteen years old, who resides at 1538 Swan Street, said that the first time she saw Prof. Moens was at school, and again at Emergency Hospital. He wanted her to pose for him, but she refused. Rachel H. Custus, 1837 5th Street N. W., testified that she was employed in the War Risk Bureau. She saw Prof. Moens in October, 1918, and was introduced to him by Miss Charlotte Hunter, who said that he wanted some fine young colored girls, but that he had gotten a girl, but that he was doing some work for the colored race, and if I was interested in the race I could help him out, and that girls came to pose and that she saw nothing wrong in it. WASHINGTON, D.C.SATURDAY, MA CH 29,1919 spm apnu jo samnjod uwops swM Miss. Hazel Je'enson said Miss Custus wanted her to go and see Mr. Evans. On cross-examination, Mr. Evans, attorney for the defense, asked her if he had said anything out of the way to her. She said he had not. At 2 o'clock Mr. Orth, for the prosecution, said that the government would rest. This struck the defense with surprise. Mr. Evans, for the defense, said that he had been taken, by surprise; that none of his witnesses had been called, and that certain witnesses for the government were witnesses for the defense. Mr. Arth—"May it please your honor, Mr. Evans may have any of the witnesses that the government has summoned." Several were called, but they proved to be of no benefit to the defense. For one hour Attorney, Evans talked against time, until the court finally adjourned. On account of the Bee going to press Thursday, the remainder of the report will not appear until next week. Both the government and the defense are making a stiff fight. No case in colored circles has companded greater attention than this case. Hundreds have been turned away. The court has been very patient in the trial of this case. GREAT MASS MEETING. A great mass meeting will be held by the National Association for the Consolidation of the Colored Race, Incorporated, at the Young Men's Christian Association, 1816 12th Street N. W., Wednesday, April 2, 1919, at 7:30 o'clock. Consolidation is the message the National Association for the Consolidation of the Colored Race is sending across the continent daily (colored people wanted) to balance the scales of justice, abolish lynching and stamp out segregation. Democracy is on the lips of the people. We, too, are the people, and we, too, know that democracy is not yet fulfilled. Colored people wanted, wanted for membership in the National Association for the Consolidation of the Colored Race, and millions of them, too, to place colored representation in Congress Enroll.

IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. Washington Y. M. C. A. Basket Ball Team Trims Baltimore. Last Saturday, the 22d, the Washington boys went over to Baltimore determined to get an even break for the season. Baltimore on her visit to Washington, on the 7th, had taken away the game by the narrow margin of a single point—27 to 26. The Washington team duplicated the Baltimore feat exactly, beating them by the identical score. more's bet—was held pointless for the entire half. Brown and Tibbs had been pointed out as stars, and their guards set on them. The score was tied several times in the last half. With three minutes to play Washington was four points behind. Suddenly. Neale pulled off a spectacular back overhead shot, and Smith followed with a long one almost the distance of a entire court. With one minute to play, the score was tled. With one second to play, the score was still tied—26 to 26. A double foul was called, and time was out. Baltimore missed her free throw, but Tibbs looped it in for Washington, thus finishing the game 27 to 26 in favor of Washington. The line-up: Baltimore—Briscoe, right forward; Harris, left forward; Hammond, center; Beamond, right guard; Gee, left guard; Butler, substitute. Washington—Neale, right forward; Brown, left forward; Tibbs, center; Smith, right guard; Arnold, left guard; Washington, substitute; Woodward, substitute. The Y. M. C. A. District Baseball League has gone into permanent organization. At the last meeting, on the 24th, the constitution and bylaws were adopted, and the officials appointed. They follow: Mr. D. O. W. Holmes, president; Mr. G. N. Lew, secretary; Mr. W. F. Coleman, treasurer, and Mr. G. D. Brock, general manager. These men, together with the managers of the various teams, compose the board of directors of the league. The date of the opening, game is Friday, May 2d—Washington Athletics vs. Y. M. C. A. There is yet room for another good team. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Ladies' Day at "Y." observed Sunday, March 23rd, was a decided success. The large gathering was handled by the young lady ushers with rare efficiency. Every one present was amply rewarded by the pertinent and practical address of Dr. C. M. Tanner of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, who, as speaker of the occasion, discussed "The Demands of the New Day." The Boys' Work Department, under Secretary G. N. Lew, is being thoroughly reorganized, and the new system as outlined by the secretary should bring constructive results. The "Y" basket ball team, under the leadership of Physical Director George D. Brock, on Friday night, defeated the Stocker College five by the score of 42 to 19. The college lads were outplayed at every angle of the game. The Junior "Y" team, in the preliminary game, lost to Miner Normal Community team. On Saturday night Director Brock's team journeyed to Baltimore and de- Forcibly Described as "Evolution to foster a proper spirit of racial co-ery and Revolutionary"—Competition and friendly acquaintance, Colored Men Not to Be "Elim-but it is to be his fixed policy thatinated" From Faculty—New Chieftain a Man of Vision. As stated in The Bee a short time ago Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, the pro-gressive president of Howard Uni-versity, after a thorough study of the needs of the race's foremost institution for the higher education of the Negro, has decided upon a pro-gram of reform and reconstruction, to make a "Greater Howard Uni-versity," if keeping with the strenuous demands of this modern age. "The system I have proposed, and with which the board is in thorough and sympathetic accord, will be evolu-rationary and" revolutionary," said Dr. Durkee to a Bee representative in a recent interview. And, it will be all that—for Dr. Durkee is a great big man, with a big brain, who has the courage and capacity to do big things in a big way. Howard's New President a Man o-Vision. That Dr. J. Stanley Durkee is a sincere and substantial friend of Ne-gro progress is not in question. He He is an intense believer in the efficiency of the higher education as a solvent for many of the problems that perplex the colored American, and it is, his determination to make Howard the exponent of the Negro's loftiest aspirations, just as Harvard and Yale stand for the highest intellectual standards of the other race. Howard, as he sees it, should become the "Great National Negro University," in the fullest sense of the term. Preference Given to Equipped Negro Teachers It may be stated here, with all possible emphasis, that there is not a scintilla of truth in any rumor that Dr. Durkee proposes to "eliminate" colored men from the faculty of Howard University. He makes it quite plain that some white men should be on the roster of assistants feated the "Y" team of the Monumental City. The score was 27 to 26. * * * The "Y" Membership Campaign will soon be on. The slogan is 1,000 new members and 1,000 renewals. Alrutheus A. Taylor, the membership secretary, is working like a Trojan these days, and we hope that this presages the desired results. * * * Visitors to the "Y" during the week included Hon. Judson W. Lyons, Rev. A. H. Dwelle of Augusta, Ga.; Mr. J. A. G. Lu Valle, Y. M. C. A. Secretary from Camp Logan, Texas; Mr. A. T. Perkins of Camp Upton, New York, and Mr. Phaon Martin of New York City. PROF. JOHN G. WYCKE. Prof. John G. Wycke spoke last Sunday at Mt. Neho Baptist Sunday School. He delivered a very interesting and instructive address. His subject was "The Kingdom of God." The speaker was introduced by Rev. Augustus Lewis. A splendid musical program was rendered by the choir. So well pleased was the school with his address, an early return will be appreciated. W. W. Martin gives notice that he has again taken over Mt. View House, Harper's Ferry, W. Va., for the seventh season. He will open about June 15th. Those who are planning for the summer outing will do well to write or call W. W. Martin, 1822 12th Street N. W. The fortieth anniversary of The Bee will be celebrated on or about June 3d. It is the desire of the management to make this the greatest issue that has ever been given to its to foster a proper spirit of racial cooperation and friendly acquaintance, but it is to lie his fixed policy that wherever equipment is anything like equal, the colored man will be given preference over white applicants, for, as he very correctly says, "Howard University is primarily a colored institution—a nursery for race leaders—and colored men of superior ability should have every opportunity to reap whatever benefits it may have to bestow, as a stimulus to the best endeavors of the worthy members of the race." Dr. Durkee, therefore, will secure his workers for the "Greater Howard University" from the very best talent available among the Negro people, retaining those who "make good" and adding others, as they are needed, from a list of "picked men" from the outside. Howard's New President a Man of Vision. That Dr. J. Stanley Durkee is a sincere and substantial friend of Negro progress is not in question. He is the friend of humanity, regardless of color, creed or condition, and there is not an atom of race prejudice in his great big heart or in any part of his red-blooded anatomy. This is amply demonstrated by the whole-souled enthusiasm which has characterized his labors for the betterment of this splendid institution, to which he has come at a tremendous personal sacrifice, and by the far-visioned outlook he is giving the race in his unfinishing determination to bring about the reforms necessary to expand this time-honored center of the higher culture and Christian leadership into a finer and broader exponent of university life for all our people. Dr. Durkee merits and enjoys the strongest and most cordial support the race and nation can give him in the promotion of this great cause. patrons and friends. It will surpass all previous efforts 100 per cent. Nothing will be left undone to make the publication a credit to the people and the management. Aside from its literary and journalistic features, it will contain some very important matter concerning the black soldier in the war and how he was treated in France by his Southern white brother.

(Special Staff Correspondent.) Paris, France, March 4.—D. W. H. Jernagin is holding many conferences with well known foreigners, among them being Mr. King, Secretary of State for Liberia. He will visit the Haitian minister next week. Arrangements have been completed for his visit to the front, where he will go on a tour of inspection for three days. On his return he will make a visit to Southern France, where a large number of the colored soldiers were located. The special committee appointed by the Pan-African conference will hold a meeting next week. ROSS' ADVERTISING AGENCY. Mr. James A. Ross of Buffalo, N. Y., one of the best, if not the best, advertising agents in the United States, has just issued a circular soliciting the co-operation of the colored press of the country in his new enterprise. The Bee is well acquainted with the hustling qualities of this journalist, and endorses it as one of the most commendable enterprises in the trade. --- Dr. W. H. Jernagin Makes a Hit in France. President of the National Race Conference Has His Speech Delivered in French, After He Delivered It in English—Rights of Two Hundred Million Africans and African Descendants Demanded — Good Work of the Conference. Special Correspondence of The Bee. Paris, France, Feb. 26. Your correspondent is in a country in which all citizens and all nationalities who are loyal to their country are respected and protected. The French people are God's people. They are grateful and loyal to this country. One of the most distinguished personages here, and, by the way, who came one day too late, is Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress and a representative of The Washington Bee, of the United States of America. Dr. Jernagin arrived one day late, but in time to take part in the business meeting of the conference, except the election of officers. When asked why he was late, he said that he remained behind to see if he couldn't secure passports for the other four members of his delegation. The regular session lasted three days, and elected the following officers: Bloise Diagn, president. Mr. Diagn is commissioner-general of colored troops; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, New York, U. S. A., secretary. Honorary presidents, C. B. King, Secretary of State, delegate to the Peace Conference; Tertullien Guilbaud, Minister of the Republic of Haiti to France, and delegate to the Peace Conference; Gratien Condoce, deputy from Guadeloupe, W. I. There are delegates here from America, England, West Indies, France, Haiti and Africa. The sessions are very interesting and quite a number of able addresses were delivered in the interests of the race and African colonies. Dr. Jernagin Speaks. Dr. Jernagin was called on to speak, and when he was introduced he received quite a deal of applause. His address was delivered in French for the benefit of the French delegates who could not speak English. Many American war workers are here and attended the conference, and they were enthusiastic when they saw America was so well represented and took such a leading part in the conference. The colored American newspaper that opposed, sending delegates injured the cause a great deal. The committee was appointed on resolutions, which will be seen attached to this communication as they were adopted by the conference. After the adoption of the resolutions the conference decided to meet in France in 1921. Dr. Jernagin was the first to advance the idea of this international conference of black men of the world, in Philadelphia, Pa., U: S. A., and the first publication was made in The Bee of Washington, U. S. A., in November, 1919. Dr. Du Bois was present at the meeting. No man in the conference has received greater consideration than Dr. Jernagin. The delegates will sail for home between March 16th and 25th. Dr. Jernagin has made application to visit the front and the ports where the remaining colored troops are located. The authorities are very particular about granting permits to visit colored troops. It is very hard to secure reservation on returning ships on account of so many soldiers returning. The Pan-African Conference is the only conference that has the O. K. of the French Government. Resolutions. The Negroes of the world in Pan-African Congress assembled, demand for the interests of justice and humanity and for strengthening the forces of civilization, that immediate steps be taken to develop the 200,000,000 of Negroes and Negroids. To this end we propose: (a) That the allied and associated powers establish a code of laws similar to the proposed international code for labor. (b) The League of Nations establish a permanent bureau, charged with the special duty of overseeing the application of these laws to the political, social and economic welfare of the natives. The Negroes of the world demand that hereafter the natives of Africa and the peoples of African descent be governed according to the following principles: 1. THE LAND. The land and its natural resources shall be held in trust for the natives and at all times they shall have effective ownership of as much land as they can profitably develop. 2. CAPITAL. The investment of capital and granting of concessions shall be regulated to prevent the exploitation of natives and the exhaust 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. 1 Office, second floor.

Concession shall always be limited in time and subject to State control. The growing social needs of the natives must be regarded and the profits taxed for social and material benefit of the natives. 3. LABOR. Slavery, forced labor and corporal punishment, except for punishment for crime, shall be abolished, and the general conditions of labor shall be prescribed and regulated by the State. 4. EDUCATION: It shall be the right of every native child to learn to read and write his own language and the language of the trustee nation, at public expense, and to be given technical instruction in some branch of industry. The State shall also educate as large a number of natives as possible in higher technical and cultural training and maintain a corps of native teachers. 5. MEDICINE and HYGIENE. It shall be recognized that human existence in the tropies calls for special safeguards and a scientific system of public hygiene. The State shall be responsible for medical care and sanitary conditions without discouraging collective and individual initiative. A service created by the State shall provide physicians and hospitals and spread the rules. The State will establish a native medical staff. 6. THE STATE. The natives of Africa must have the right to participate in the government as fast as their development permits in conformity with the principle that the government exists for the natives and not the natives for the government. The natives shall voice in the government to the extent that their development permits, beginning at once with local and tribal government according to ancient usage, and extending, gradually, as education and experience proceeds, to the higher offices of State, to the end that, in time, Africans be ruled by consent of the Africans. 7. CULTURE and RELIGION. No particular religion shall be imposed and no particular form of human culture. There shall be liberty of conscience. The uplift of the natives shall take into consideration their present condition and shall allow the utmost scope to racial genius, social inheritance and individual bent, so long as these are not contrary to the best established principles of civilization. 8. CIVILIZED NEGROES. Wherever persons of African descent are civilized and able to meet the test of surrounding culture, they shall be accorded the same rights as their fellow citizens; they shall not be denied on account of race and color a voice in their own government, justice before the courts and economic and social equality according to their ability and desert. 9. LEAGUE OF NATIONS. Greater security of life and prosperity shall be guaranteed the natives; international labor legislation shall cover native workers as well as whites; they shall have equitable representation in all the international institutions of the League of Na- tions, and the participation of the blacks themselves in every domain of endeavor shall be encouraged in accordance with the declared object of Article 19 of the League of Nations, to wit: "The well-being and development of these people constitute a sacred mission of civilization and it is proper in establishing the League of Nations to incorporate therein pledges for the accomplishment of this mission." Whenever it is proven that African natives are not receiving just treatment at the hands of any State, or that any State deliberately excludes its civilized citizens or subjects of Negro descent from its body politic and cultural, it shall be the duty of the League of Nations to bring the matter to the attention of the civilized world.

June 15th.You are a fine specimen of manhood and you will rise in life and be very successful. You will acquire a great knowledge of things out of the ordinary and power that will be of great benefit to yourself and others, too. You are very kind-hearted, sensitive, intuitional, idealistic, fond of science and the higher education. I see you have traveled a great deal and there are some very long trips ahead of you. In travels you find your luck. Your life was in great danger, but you are fearless and there is some danger ahead of you yet; it shows that you will be warned in time and the danger period will pass away without harm coming to you. The Great Power from above has been with you and will never forsake you, because you have great faith. You love home and family and great happiness is for you through marriage and fam- SUN MARS JUPITER MERCURY VENUS EURAPIS SATURN URANUS HOUSE OF THE SUN ily. You are not unlucky now, though some people would like to see you so. There is some trouble, for you, but it will not be so serious as it is laid out for you. You have a long- and prosperous life. November 1st.—Your greatest bad luck is to be a woman. You have the good and great character of a good, great man. As a man you could do the things in life that you will often feel like doing, but as a woman it is not the proper thing, and it would not be very becoming to you. So make the best of things here on earth and you will be greatly rewarded for your great patience, for you have to put up with a lot of unpleasantness. Remember each trial endured makes you stronger in character and in the eyes of the Lord. People should love you for your true and outspoken way and not find fault with you. You love work, and it is hard to discourage you. You love liberty and freedom and dislike a master that drives you. You do a lot in a good-hearted, easy way, but you must not feel you are compelled to do it. You are said to be cranky, bad, evil, just because you have a strong will of your own. Live your own dear life and do the best you can, and let people say what they like—they cannot change you nor can they take away one good virtue from you, for God is with you and you will have more friends than enemies—friends that will be of help and benefit to you, and your enemies will only harm themselves. The mysterious appeals to you and you can develop to be a prophet, as you are keen and have a great insight into many things; encourage the power and it will be a great help to you. At various times it seemed to you as if marriage was close by, but it was not to be, and it will not take place for some time, although I see a man who loves you and wants to marry you. Yet marry you will, and make the man happy, too, for you, if you love a man, will take care of him in the right way and be a true, good wife, and make him happy, too. You have a better and happier life ahead of you, and may the good Lord bless you. April 25th.—You are a clever woman of great mental energy and a strong personality. You have a strong, high temper, but a good heart. You will not do the underhand work that some have and will try to do to you. You are above such evils: it is against your good nature. You are always anxious to uplift people, and you have a great love for justice and fair play towards all. You have the money-making stars, and there is no reason why you cannot become rich. You can plan and carry out your plans, and in marriage, if the man would cooperate with you instead of holding you down, he would be of great help to you and also benefit thereby. There are trips and pleasant changes, but there is some trouble in the family indicated. You have a very promising year ahead of you, and you need not fear any reverse. You can plan and try hard to carry out your plans, as the stars will help you improve your general conditions. You have a successful, long life ahead of you. February 14th.—You are a mighty good sort of a young woman and you make a good housekeeper and a good wife. There is marriage in store for you, but your husband will have ways that you will not like and he will have to be trained to follow your ideas and principles, in life, so that both of you are happy, otherwise the happiness will only be on his side and you will suffer. There is not much change for the better in your life ahead of you just now, but the far-off future looks bright for you. You are appreciated and well liked by many nice people. You must guard against accidents, cuts, bruises as well as fire. In your younger days you have escaped death and you have to be very careful the next few years, because the same stars repeat their evil influences the coming years. If you are careful you can overcome the evil. Your life conditions will gradually improve and you will be happier than many of your false friends. October 4, 1874.—Your troubles in life are not over, yet the stars show me that your life in a general way will improve. Though you will hear of death, your life will be protected and prolonged, as you are a good soul and live a right sort of life, and God will be with you and protect you. You hate quarrels and upsets, and you love a quiet, peaceful life, and the stars show that you will have it yet very good later on in life. You may marry more than once, but the question is, how happy can you be? You are planning and benefiting others, and you should look a little more for yourself and take better care of your health, too. The home and family conditions are not as they should be; there seems to me some disturbing element; but pray and have patience and all will be well for you, and in the near future, too. There is a man of many great promises coming into your life and more love and happiness are indicated by the stars for you. September 2, 1893.—What do I think of you by your birth? I cannot say much, but I will say that you are a mighty good specimen of womanhood; the world needs more good women, and we are sure to have a paradise on earth. You are industrious, and thoughtful; you are refined and modest; are contemplative and of a serious turn of mind, anxious to acquire the higher knowledge and improve your life as well as help the conditions of others. You wish for wealth, but it is hard for you to save much money, not on account of the high cost of living, but on account of your nature. It really is not meant for you to save much money, but to pass it on—to live and enjoy life to the fullest extent. Your planets make you look younger than you are, and they will help you look many years younger; in fact, you will grow old very gracefully. You have a bright mind; are very active; seldom contented for long; somewhat given to worry; hasty, quick to be aroused; but you have no real evil in you, and you are not anxious to be fighting. You are idealistic, yet practical; frugal, yet speculative; ingenious, careful, cautious and usually act with forethought; take to hygienics. You have good command of language, fond of literature, the arts, music and the better education and life. You make a good educator, public demonstrator, and you are a great social as well as religious worker. There are many good surprises in store for you, and you will have wonderful experiences and good visions of things you are to do, to live through, and places you are to visit. You have a most wonderful and interesting life ahead of you. You will do a great deal of good, receive credit, be honored and admired by people of wealth and great influence.

When a Roman conspiracy was hatched up against Julius Caesar by traitors to the country and to assassinate one of the noblest Rontans of them all, little did Julius Caesar believe that his life was in danger and his dearest friend was one among the conspirators, although Caesar had been warned on his way to the Senate, and even his dear wife told him of her dream. On his arrival at the Capitol, Casca, one of the conspirators, knelt down at the pedestal of Pompey's statue, which was the signal for the attack, and with a rush the rest of the conspirators plunged their daggers into his body. But when the beloved Brutus, his dearest friend, stabbed, Caesar, looking into his face, exclaimed, "And thou, too, Brutus!" When a Roman conspiracy was hatched up against Caesar by traitors to the country and to assassinate the best Romans of them all, little did Julius Caesar believe was in danger and his dearest friend was one amoral captors, although Caesar had been warned on his way to Rome and even his dear wife told him of her dream. On the Capitol, Casca, one of the conspirators, knelt in gestal of Pompey's statue, which was the signal form with a rush the rest of the conspirators plunged thru his body. But when the beloved Brutus, his desiried, Caesar, looking into his face, exclaimed, "Anthus!" The insult offered our War Correspondent Tyler and soldiers returning from the battlefield, in Springfield, ought to make our heart ache. Republicans of the Norwegian, should close their mouths against Southern discrimination. Such conditions as these cannot be country. Race prejudice is becoming more notorious: People in this country don't want to grant equal rights opportunities to the colored Americans, in the name of them to help fight their battles. No race of people are insults at the behest of the white South and some white North than the colored Americans. If such continue, how are revolutions to be stopped? The insult offered our War Correspondent Tyler and the colored soldiers returning from the battlefield, in Springfield, Ohio, is enough to make our heart ache. Republicans of the North, Ohio in particular, should close their mouths against Southern prejudice and discrimination. Such conditions as these cannot exist in this country. Race prejudice is becoming more notorious: If the white people in this country don't want to grant equal rights and equal opportunities to the colored Americans, in the name of God don't use them to help fight their battles. No race of people has stood more insults at the behest of the white South and some portions of the white North than the colored Americans. If such conditions continue, how are revolutions to be stopped? "And thou, too, Brutus!" THE PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE.

Ex-Senator Bailey of Texas has decided to leave the Democratic party. After years of affiliation with that party, which has been the terror of the State of Texas and the South; after sucking the Democratic tit and grown fat, rich and healthy and lost his political usefulness in that party and the confidence of the party. Mr. Bailey now leaves it and declares his allegiance with the Republican party, with many other lost disciples. The acts of such men remind The Bee of the declaration of ex-Judge Harrison of Virginia, at the time the cast-out Democrats left their party and organized the Readjuster party. After the defeat and annihilation of that party many of the members of that party returned to the fold of the Democratic party. Judge Harrison's comment was: "While the lamp holds out to burn, the darndest rebels may yet return." It is so with men who have sucked the tit of the Republican party and lost caste in it. They leave the party and are received with open arms on their return. Republicans are different from the Democrats, however. When the politicians leave the Republican party and join the Democrats they are given back seats, but Republicans generally give the prodigals front seats in preference to the pure in heart.

At that time, or when he assumed charge of that department as the successor of the late Captain Meredith, who appointed hundreds of young colored girls who won appointments under the civil service, this prejudiced chief dismissed hundreds of meritorious employees without cause. No appeal by those deserving employees had any effect to stay the hand of this chief. The work of these female printer's assistants was in every way satisfactory, but Claude M. Johnson knew them not. The Democratic administration at the time, in this particular bureau, had no love for those faithful employees. Claude M. Johnson is gone to a region where color prejudice is unknown, and where he will be adjudged by the deeds that he committed against the weak and the deserving, whose only fault was the color of their skin, and the tears that are shed for him will fill the eye of an needle, and his epitaph, written by those who were unjustly treated, will be: "Here is Claude M. Johnson, the man who caused the discharge of hundreds of colored females while chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. May he meet them in the great beyond." AGAINST "JIM-CROW" CARS. Congressman Madden Offers Bill in the House of Representatives Providing for Equal and Identical Rights, Accommodations and privileges for All Persons Applying for Interstate Transportation and Prohibiting Discriminations on Account of Race or Color. Representative Madden introduced the following bill (H.-R. 15338) in the House of Representatives recently, which was referred to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce: A Bill to amend an act entitled "An act to regulate commerce." approved February 4, 1887, and all acts amendatory thereof, by providing for equal and identical rights, accommodations and privileges for all persons applying for interstate transportation, and prohibiting discrimination on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That an act entitled "An act to regulate commerce," approved February 4, 1887, as amended, be further amended by adding thereto a new section, appropriately numbered, which shall read as follows: "Sec. — That hereafter it shall be unlawful for any owner, operator, manager, trustee, receiver, or lessee of any transportation system or systems, by land or water routes within the territorial boundaries of the United States of America and engaged in or soliciting interstate commerce under a common control, management, or any servant, employee or agent of such owner, manager, trustee, receiver, operator, or lessee, or any other person having connection therewith, to deny or to refuse to furnish, by any device or method whatsoever, equal and identical rights, accommodations, and privileges to any person who shall pay, or offer to pay, the uniform charge made for such equal and identical rights, accommodations and privileges in interstate transportation, when such refusal is on account of the race, color or previous condition of servitude of the person so applying. "And it shall hereafter be further unlawful for any owner, operator, manager, lessee, trustee or receiver of any system or systems of transportation within the territorial boundaries of the United States of America, and engaged in or soliciting interstate commerce, or any servant, employee, or agent of such owner, operator, manager, trustee, receiver, or lessee, or any other person connected therewith, to operate upon any part of their transportation system or systems any car, vessel, train of cars, or other conveyance in and upon which any person, being transported to a final destination beyond the boundaries of any State or Territory of the United States of America, or beyond the boundaries of the District of Columbia, and paying, or offering to pay, the uniform charge made for transportation in interstate transportation, shall, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude be separated from any other passenger, or be denied equal and identical rights, accommodations, and privileges accorded any other passenger paying or offering to pay such uniform charge for interstate transportation, or be permitted to be assaulted, molested, or in any other way injured or oppressed by reason of the exercise of any right herein granted or protected." Sec. 2. That any owner, manager, lessee, operator, trustee, or receiver of any system of transportation as set forth in Section 1 of this act who shall violate or connive at the violation of any of the provisions of Section 1 shall, for each such violation or connivance, forfeit not less than the full sum of $5,000, to be recovered in a proper United States court, in an action on the case, to the use of each person aggrieved by such violation, together with costs and reasonable counsel fees, to be fixed by the trial justice; and all other persons guilty of such violation or participation therein shall, upon conviction in a proper United States court, be fined $1,000, or imprisoned in a Federal prison for one year, or both. Sec. 3. That the provisions of this act shall apply to the intrastate operation of transportation systems un- der Federal control, with like penalties and punishments, for its violation. Sec. 4. That all acts, parts of acts, stafutes, regulations, and orders not in conformity herewith are hereby amended, altered, or repealed. DR. GARNER'S GREAT WORK March 25, 1919. "Received from A. C.

The funeral of Mrs. Catherine West, the widow of the late Lawrence West, was held Sunday, March 23rd, 1919, at Asbury M. E. Church, corner of 11th and K Streets N. W., at 1 o'clock. The pastor, Rev. M. W. Clair, D. D., officiated. Messrs. Thomas Heathman and Frederick F. Brown rendered solos, respectively, "There Is a Green Hill Far Away," and "One by One." The deceased, who had been long a most highly respected resident of the District of Columbia, departed this life Tuesday, March 18th, 1919, at her residence, 1508 3rd Street N. W., after a long and painful illness. She left to mourn her loss William, Ellsworth, Emanuel, Audella, Mrs. Clare Wheeler and Charles Marshall, her adopted son, and a host of relatives and friends, many of whom attended the last rites. The fraternal societies present, of which the departed was a member, were: Lydia Household of Ruth No. 1804; G. U. O. of O. F., and Mount Gilgal Lodge, I. O. of G. S. The floral tributes were many, appropriate and handsome. Interment was in Harmony Cemetery. LOCAL NOTES. Miss Ada E. Chestnutt of 304 New York Avenue N.

Parker has recently added this table to his office. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints, and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body, and contains the spinal cord which gives off nerves to every organ, tissue and muscle, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine. Crooked or stiff spine cause various kinds of diseases, weakness, and premature old age. Osteopathic treatment cures these troubles by correcting the spine. Women who are suffering from female troubles will do well to consult Dr. Parker, as he makes a specialty of those cases. DR. T. THEO. PARKER. OSTEOPATH, Phone North 533-J Washington, D.C.

An enjoyable oyster supper was held at the residence of Mrs. George Simmons on last Tuesday night. Mr. Talbert Thomas and Mr. Everett Jones left for New York last Saturday afternoon, where they expect to remain for an indefinite period. Falls Church regrets very much the departure of these young men who were active in all the movements that tended toward the improvement of the town or people.

The Phillip School Community Center held a very stormy meeting on Tuesday evening. A communication from Miss Norton, the general secretary of the District Centers, authorizing the election of the permanent officers April 15, 1919, and a letter fully exonerating Miss Sadie E. Gaskins, the temporary secretary of the center, of any infringements or misconduct in office, as had been circulated, were read. Mr. George Parker and Mr. James L. Turner and others highly indorsed Miss Gaskins for the success of the center. A special meeting will be held Tuesday, when completed arrangements will be made for the coming election. The friends of Miss Gaskins predict her election over several mentioned candidates. Mrs. Mary Walker, the mother of Mr. William Walker, died last week. The funeral service was held in the First Baptist, Dumbarton. Avenue N. W. Rev. James Pinn and Revs. D. D. Turpeau and Charles Pryor officiated. Interesting Exercises by Its Members—Address of Welcome by E. P. Fagin—A Brilliant Affair. The officers and members of Dunbar Lodge, No. 8, K. of P., gave a reunion last Monday evening, March 24th. It was a brilliant affair. The address of welcome was delivered by L. P. Fagin, C. C. After the transaction, of business, Sir Knight Gordon of Potomac Lodge, No. 3, delivered a very interesting address; also Sir Knight Parker of Potomac Lodge, No. 3, and W. S. Daniels of Hannibal Lodge. No. 9. Knight Wingate made some encouraging remarks to the assembly, which were loudly applauded. The Dunbar Lodge is one of the best known in the city and its members are progressive and energetic. Mr. Fagin, in his address, said, in part: "We, the members of P. L. Dunbar Lodge, No. 8, K. of P., have met for the purpose of a reunion among the officers and members of our brother lodges and sir knights. The officers and members of Dunbar Lodge thought that since God has enabled us to prosper numerically and financially for ten years, with very few deaths, and a general get-together for the best interests of Pythianism in the District of Columbia, it behooves every Pythian to bestir himself for the task that is set before him to make the order all that it should be. Let every brother make an effort to reach every deserving CHRISTIAN Church Furniture Co. Mrs. Elizabeth P.

C. --- By the Sage of the Potomac. There is to be a shaking up of this flim-flam Bolas. Howard University will get rid of every one. Those ancient salary takers and bosses of no weight will be given a ticket of leave now. They will be separated from Howard University. Many of them don't know the City of Washington and many of them have never been in the Washington Monument. Many of them have been there so long that their hair is gray. Dr. Durkee is not influenced by the Bolas who have impeded the advancement of popular education. The Bolas, predicted that Dr. Durkee would not be at Howard very long, because he intends to remove these sham bosses. These radical changes will take place soon. Why, Dr. Durkee found high-salaried flunkies drawing pay for looking wise. These Bolas who have held sway for a number of years—ever since the establishment of Howard University—will find it hard hoeing corn. Many of them are better at that occupation than they are in school. The Bolas met and resolved to resist the order of the president, but the president spoke and that was the last of the Bolas. The colored public schools are in a similar predicament as Howard University. Our schools have been controlled by the Bolas for years. It has been ordained that these 37 nonentities were to control the public school system. Deserving graduates from certain colleges are unable to be appointed in our local schools. Why, a man was brought from Baltimore. Md., when we had enough competent home talent. There is only one institution that organization has failed to control, and that is the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. It is rumored, however, that one individual who is a candidate for reappointment declares that Judge Siddons will appoint him, anyway, notwithstanding the opposition of the people. This individual represents the Bolas and has never represented the people. Judge Siddons, I know, wants to please the people, and he will please the people by appointing men and women on the Board of Education who have some worth. Speaking about changes. I have been, thoroughly convinced that changes in everything are necessary. Many of these mossbacks remain in office too long. The day for mossbacks has passed. A substantial lot of individuals are coming to the front now. Men who have been doing something for the masses have erected banks and hotels. They are from the common people. I mean by the common people, people who work and pay their debts—people who spend their money and realize something by such operation. Andrew J. Thomas and S. D. Dudley are in Florida. Vincent is holding down things at the Howard Theatre with the fascinating distributor of tickets in the box office. I enjoyed the pictures last Sunday at the Howard. I saw many fascinating belles in attendance. Their gowns, hats and latest cut shoes, commend them to the eye. The girls were admired and the boys could not help from commenting. If you want to see some fashions, just take a stand in front of the Howard Theatre fifteen minutes before supper show. Attorney J. Louis Taylor, having walked long enough and paid carfare until his pockets were depleted, decided to purchase a car. He has some car. Which plainly shows that the native hopolite is making some coln. There is some talk of placing Dr. Mitchell on the Board of Education. Dr. Mitchell belongs to the people and his selection as a member of the Board of Education would give entire satisfaction. Of course, the people are anxious for a change. But whether it will come immediately I am unable to say. A few divorces will take place shortly. These war marriages were not at all agreeable. Many of those girls say that they thought the war was going to last, while others hoped to be widows. They would rather be widows and take life easy. The return of hubby spoils the game of the newlywed. If you talk to a soldier bride about hubby, she will stretch her eyes and say, "Oh, well; such is life. If the war had only continued. Home is not what it used to be." Seated in one of the rest resorts a few days ago, waiting for a shave and haircut. I was amused to hear a discussion between two of the Howard students and a high school graduate. The Howard student remarked that Dr. Durkee is being opposed by the Bolas, but before he is through with them they will be singing a song entitled "The bygone days of '76 at Howard." RALPH W. TYLER SUES. Springfield, Ohio, March 26. Suite has been filed against the proprietors of the railroad station dining room here by Ralph W. Tyler, the race's only war correspondent. Mr. Tyler was passing through this city this week, en route to his home at Columbus, Ohio, from Fort Wayne, Ind., where he had spoken the night before. Having thirty minutes between trains, and being hungry, he went into the station dining room for a lunch, and was refused service at the lunch counter. It has been a practice here to refuse service to colored people in the station dining room. Though Mr. Tyler was ignorant of it, he never suspected that racial prejudice was so strong here. Rather than make his train, as he intended, he remained over, saw Attorney Sully James of this city, paid him a, retaining fee and instructed him to immediately bring suite under the Smith civic rights bill, and to push it to the utmost. Many returning colored soldiers, Mr. Tyler afterwards learned, had been refused service in the station lunch room. Before leaving for his home, he said: "And this is the democracy we get at home, after our boys fought, bled and died to establish democracy for aliens over the seas. I have been telling everywhere I have spoken how splendidly our boys fought over in France, and how much the country was indebted to them. I have been insisting that the race must see to it that these brave boys get democracy at home, cost what it may. I would certainly have been false to my teachings, or rather preachings, and false to our brave boys who fought over in France, had I refused to institute suit to test the right of railroad lunch rooms to discriminate against the race—a race that furnished hundreds of thousands of fighting men. Under the Smith bill, passed some years ago, no eating house has a right to discriminate because of color. The bill, or law, is constitutional, and I propose to press the suite. Conditions in Springfield, since our boys demonstrated their bravery on many foreign battlefields, have grown worse for the race. Our boys must have the democracy here at home for which they fought for in France." WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SER- VICE CLUB No. 3. That life is an unfoldment, not accretion, is shown at War Camp Community Service Club No. 3. Week by week something is unfolded to make the work go on to further development. A new thing unfolded during the past week was the class for the training of community service leaders. On the opening night twenty persons enrolled, and on Monday night, the 24th, nineteen additional persons registered for the course, making the number thirty-nine, all of whom were present. This class meets at the club house every Monday at 7:30 p. m. The activities for the week included an entertainment by a party of 85 persons, representing War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, who went to Camp Meade to entertain with songs and readings the soldiers. Miss Gladys Jones sang "Ja-Da" and other popular songs, and Mr. Alonzo P. Smalls rendered two instrumental solos. On Friday night about six hundred persons gathered at the club. The Nineteenth Street Baptist Church entertained the soldiers and sailors with an excellent program. Madame Anna Lee Slade recited her own composition, "If I Could Utter Love," and as an encore "Entertaining Sister's Beau." The feature of the evening may be styled "Echoes From Across the Seas," as several soldiers from "over there" gave short talks of their thrilling experiences. Refreshments were served by a committee. The entire building~proved to be far too small on Saturday night, when the drama department of the War Camp Community Service presented a one-act play entitled "The Rector." Mr. Ralph Scher gave some musical impersonations, and Lewis and Lewis gave a dance specialty. The hit of the evening was Mrs. Newton D. Baker, the wife of the Secretary of War, who sang "When Pershing's Men Marched Into, Picardy," "Khaki Sammy" and "Strutting Around the Camp With Mary." Dr. C. Sumner Wormley sang "Two Grenadiers" and "Thou Art Risen." Miss Mary L. Europe Judge Robert H. Terrell, on behalf of the War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, welcomed and thanked the persons contributing to the success of the evening's entertainment. A soldier presented Mrs. Baker with a handsome bouquet, which had been donated by the soldiers as a token of the appreciation they have for her efforts in their behalf. Numbers of persons had to be turned away, the attendance being fully 1,200 persons. At the community sing on Sunday, the St. Luke P. E. Church choir, under the directorship of that prince of choir leaders, Mr. W. Scott Mayo, rendered several selections. The pupils of the seventh grade of Henry Highland Garnet School (Miss Florence O. Talbert) sang two choruses: Master Leonard Butler rendered in a finished manner "My Task." Five hundred persons attended. The club is open at all times to receive visitors, and it is earnestly hoped that all of the friends and well wishers will pay a visit to the club. DEANWOOD NEWS. The musical at the Deanwood School March 20 was a grand success. There was a large gathering and every one enjoyed the program. *** The parents of Deanwood are delighted with the progress of the school, under the leadership of Miss Bruce. *** Mr. Dolie, one of the oldest residents of Deanwood, was found dead kneeling at his bedside Thursday morning. He had been dead, some time before the discovery was made. Mrs. Thomas Thorton gives the most wonderful hair treatments of any in the city. Her address is Westford and Kane Place, Deanwood. D. C. The people of Deanwood have been granted macadamized streets and a portable school room, and also electric lights and sanitary conditions in the school. The country is in a dangerous condition. The United States may be standing on a volcano, and, at any moment there may be an eruption. Who can tell? The black man has yet to play his part; singly and alone, to save this republic from disorganization. There are dangers confronting us. Where they will end is a question of doubt. Important questions that should command the attention of the country are being subordinated to throw stumbling blocks to impede the onward march of the black man. Instead of the enemies of human progress inaugurating schemes to impede the progress of the black man, they had better adopt plans to rid the world of bolshevism. The treatment of colored officers in France was most brutal. Beware of the dangers that confront us. Prinipal, Trustees, Visitors adn Friends. Addressed by Lieutenants Seamon and Clifton H. Hardy. Dr. I. Renfro, principal of the Lovejoy School and one of the best known educators in the public schools, and his teachers and pupils, were addressed last Thursday noon by Lieut. George F. Seamon of the 368th Infantry and Lieut. Clifton H. Hardy of the 365th Infantry. Both addresses by these well known officers, who have done some fighting in France and brought home many valuable trophies, were full of interest. Lieut. Seamon was accompanied by his accomplished wife. After the addresses a luncheon was given during the recess hour, which was enjoyed by the specially invited guests and the teachers, as follows: Attorney Augustus W. Gray, Lieuts. George F. Seamon and Clifton S. Hardy, Mrs. Annie M. Seamon, Mrs. Rebecca J. Gray, Editor W. Calvin Chase, Misses B. I. Wady, L. M. Hillman, R. O. Davis, H. A. Talbert, C. H. Thomas, I. A. Hardy, C. E. Wesley, L. M. Jones, F. M. Castin, E. A. Chapman, L. C. Wills, A. M. Jackson, B. E. Scott, Miss Edna V. Vedgewick, Miss Harriet L. Collins, Miss I. W. Lewis, Mrs. M. Madra Marshall, Messrs. L. C. H. Bradley and W. G. Black. At the conclusion of the repast the two officers resumed their addresses to the different schools, which were very instructive and beneficial to the teachers and pupils. The Bolas in the public schools and Howard University are to be eliminated. OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST. FERDINAND AVE. REFORMS AT HOWARD. They Will Be Made Without Fear or Favor. The president of Howard University, Dr. Durkee, will make the necessary reforms at Howard University without fear or favor. He means to break up the dissatisfaction and disaffection among certain teachers which seem to degrade the standing of the university. The university will be placed upon a high standard, and teachers who have been a detriment to the success of the university will be removed. Men who have been and are drawing large salaries will be removed. The people are with President Durkee, and they hope that the changes will be made at once. DR. W. L. SMITH'S INDIGESI TION CURE.

Thbusands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else Quinade is not an ordinary shade: it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo, the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quonosaoap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price and we will mail them to you direct.
