A Scathing Cross-Examination by Prosecutor Arth—Could Not Answer Questions on Science—Wants Time to Look Up the Question. Whites as Bad as the Colored. Looking for Colored Blood in White Veins—His Testimony Creates a Sensation. There has been no abatement in the crowd that has packed the Criminal Court room and the corridors since the Moens case began. When this report closed Wednesday afternoon, March 26, Miss Catherine Galaway, was called to the stand. She is a very good-looking young woman, who testified that she had Indian blood in her veils; that she had previously posed for an artist before she posed for Prof. Moens. Prosecutor Arth had turned his witness over to the government, but her testimony failed to help the defense under the ruling of the court. It was little Ruth Barnaby, aged sixteen, and a pupil in the Armstrong Manual Training School, who testified that she was asked by Miss Ethel Pauline Brown and Miss Charlotte Hunter, a teacher in the high school, who wanted her to pose for Prof. Moens, who became indignant and refused and walked out of Miss Hunter's house. She said that she was asked to return, but she declined and repulsed the attempt of Prof Moens to unloosen her neckpiece. When she called at the residence of Miss Hunter, she testified, the latter opened the door, and invited her in and introduced her to Prof. Moens. He asked if she would pose for him "By no means," said Miss Barnaby and walked out. Friday A. M. The usual crowd assembled early. Prof. Moens was called to the stand by his attorney, Richard P. Evans, and occupied the stand for the best portion of the day. He testified, among other things, that it was necessary to take different parts of the body in nude form in order to determine the racial distinction; that he had taken eight pictures in different poses; that he had shown the picture of some of the girls. When asked by Prosecutor Arth, whether Bertha Taylor Young of 1452 P street sat in his studio nude until 10:30 his answer was "May be." He was further asked if she was alone. He said, "Yes." He was asked if he had met Helen Saunders. He said he wanted some one to pose for him, and he also admitted his relationship with her. He was asked whether he had met Rachel Custis of 1837 5th street northwest. He stated that he had met her at the house and that he and Charlotte Hunter employed her. He was also asked if he and Charlotte Hunter lived together. He said they slept on separate floors. Monday, March 31. The court adjourned from Friday afternoon until Monday, March 31. Prof. Moens resumed the stand Monday morning and testified as to his illicit relations with two females. Counsel for the defense attempted to offer certain pictures in evidence, which were not offered in evidence by the government. The objection was sustained by the court. was sustained by By counsel for defense: "What was your practice?" was your practice. Mr. Arth: "I object to the word practice." Counsel for defense: "Did you show all of these pictures to the girls?" Mr. Arth: "I object." Court: "Objection sustained." After having testified at some length, Attorney Evans, counsel for the defense, asked permission to place Lieut. Brenmän on the stand, as he had to leave. The court consented. Lieut. Charles H. Brenman testil- fied that he was a member of the Metropolitan Police Force; that he knew the defendant; that he made his acquaintance two years ago. Mr. Arth: "I am just waiting to see what this is coming to." Lieut. Brenman: "I saw him at two colored gatherings in Convention Hall and the Cadets' Armory." Mr. Arth: "I object." The court: "Objections sustained." Mr. Evans: "Did he state what his purpose was?" Mr. Arth: "I object." Court: "Objections sustained." The court then stated that there would be no more interruptions. Prof. Moens then assumed the stand. After making almost a sweeping denial of nearly all of the charges made by the government, he was turned over to the government prosecutor, Mr. Arth. Scathing Cross-Examination. He was asked where he was born, where he traveled and the amount of money he had in different banks in the world. He admitted that he worked as a laborer on the Panama canal for $50 per month; that he was broke when he arrived there; that he worked there two months or more and earned $209. The government showed, on cross-examination, that he had several thousand dollars in the banks of Belgium, Russia, Germany and elsewhere; that he had written and received secret letters, which were offered in evidence, which he endeavored to explain on re-cross-examination by his counsel. He was asked by Mr. Arth whether he was a scientist. His answer was, "Yes." A Battle With the Scientist. The prosecutor carried him through a rigid and scathing examination to test his knowledge of his profession. He failed to answer any question in the line of his profession, but he did say if he was given time to look up the questions he could answer them. This remark caused a smile to pass over the faces of the spectators. He was asked from what college or institution he graduated. He named an academy in Russia, something like our high school in this city. He was asked under whom he had studied as an ethnologist and what books he had read. The government prosecutor wanted to know whether any of those or his teachers state whether it was necessary to measure a female and do other acts. He could not name one. Neither could he state intelligently the teachings of the books to which he called the attention of the prosecutor. After his failure to answer any of the questions in science asked him, the prosecutor asked him to select his own questions in ethnology and give their meanings. The invitation was not accepted. In reply to another question relative to the races, he declared that there were white people as immoral as colored people, or just as bad. He was asked if he was a doctor. His reply was "No." He was also asked from whom he took lessons in measuring a person's head. He named one person, and said also that it was his own invention. "Haye you ever taken males in nude form?" "No; but I have measured them nude." Mr. Arth: "Why didn't you take their pictures?" Answer: "Because they objected." Mr. Arth: "Name them." Ans.: "A man by the name of Green." Mr. Arth: "What is his full name and where is he?" Ans.: "I don't know." He was asked for his data, but he said he had none and kept no records of his examinations. He was asked if he could examine a person's blood to determine the racial difference. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1919. MOENS BON VOIR MADEMOISELLE VOULBZ-VOUS UN PEU DE SOUPE? SWEETHEART FATHER HUSBAND HUMAN TEACHER HOME YOUR K FATHER MONEY FERMEZ-CERIDEN SOCIETY LEADER WICK CAMP BELL The blood did not show the difference Monday, Mrs. R. D. Wilkinson of 2553 Nichols avenue southeast, stated that she had known Prof. Moens since the spring of 1918; that he was brought to her house by Charlotte Hunter without an invitation, and he stated that he wanted to take a photograph of her daughter; that he took a breast photograph of her, and he called to see them alone some times. Dr. Henry Bailey, a teacher in the public schools, testified that he was directed to show Prof. Moens through the schools by a letter from the Board of Education; that he also had him at his home. Tuesday A. M. Miss Charlotte Hunter took the stand and testified that she had known Prof. Moens for four years and was introduced to him by the principal of the Normal School, at the school. She also stated that she was deeply interested in his work, and he rented a room from her at the 11th street house. She was asked why she visited the 11th street house. Her answer was that she was directing some work there; that she got subjects for him for examination; that she interested the parents and children in his work. She took Mary Braxton of the Smithsonian Museum to be examined. She admitted having Prof. Moens out to socials; that he called to see her at her home, 1515 P street northwest. She was asked what she had learned while working with him. Her answer was "Not anything"; and what her connections with him were. She said she was supposed to keep the records. "Have you any records?" she was sure. "No." she said. asked. "No," she said. Prof. Moens testified that he and Miss Hunter lived on separate floors. She was asked why she was eating with him. at 1416 11th street northwest at the time of the arrest. She said that when she worked there they would eat lunch together. She was asked why she protested when a warrant was served on Prof. Moens. She said she didn't know why they should enter her house. Dr. Hardlick of the Smithsonian Institute testified it was not necessary to examine genital organs to find the difference between races. He also stated that some of the books used by Dr. Moens were not necessary to study racial differences. These were nude books. The most important parts of the body to study would be the head and gums. He also stated that it is a well known fact that 80 per cent of the Negroes in Washington were of mixed blood. Anatol L. Rodman of the Department of Justice testified that Dr. Moens said that when you love a girl you kiss her all over, and it was more sanitary. This practically closed the testimony of the prosecution, which fol- lowed a touching speech by Prosecutor Arth for conviction. He pictured Prof. Moens as a social pest, and he wanted to know why, in all of the examinations by Prof. Moens, he didn't have any record or data of his results, and why he should show nude pictures to girls between the ages of 14 and 15 years—such pictures as have been introduced in this trial—while we are trying to keep the colored people as well as the white people pure and clean. Attorney Evans spoke for one hour and made a strong plea for his client. Mr. Archer delivered a strong denunciation of the methods used by Prof. Moens. "Why did he tell the Callaway girl that it was the first picture, and why was it that Miss Johnson wanted her picture returned to her?" The court charged the jury in a fair and impartial manner and advised not to be prejudiced so far as the testimony was concerned on either side. The jury retired and returned a verdict of guilty as indicted. Mr. Evans, attorney for the defense, made a motion for a new trial. PROF. MOENS. When Prof. Moens first came to this city he had a letter of introduction to Prof. Kelly Miller and others from Prof. Du Bois of New York. He was escorted around and introduced to the colored people. Some of the best known colored families entertained him. He was introduced as a professor, and began his racial propaganda by telling the colored people that he proposed to show that white people had as much Negro blood in them as colored people. He was royally entertained at the home of Henry E. Baker, formerly secretary of the defunct Colored Building Association. Among those present at this great social function were: Dr. George W. Cabaniss, Wm. H. Harris, Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, Prof. Kelly Miller, Robert A. Pelham and others. GIVES JUSTICE McCOY BOWL. Retiring Jury Also Remembers Other Criminal Court Officials. Chief Justice McCoy, presiding in Criminal Division 2, has been presented with a silver bowl by the jury of bankers and other prominent business men which have been serving in that court for the past two months. Many of these men objected to being required to serve, but their spokesman, Henry H. McKee, president of the National Capital Bank, told the chief justice that they had enjoyed the service with him. William F. Lemon, clerk of the court, was given a handsome table lamp, and other attaches of the court were remembered with gifts by the retiring jurors. Justice, McCoy, in an unassuming address, thanked the jury for their kind and unexpected consideration. COL. BRADSHAW. An Interview With The Bee—Borland Act a Detriment to the Poor. Col. Aaron Bradshaw, who has just returned to the city, has the following to say To The Bee: "Upon my return to Washington city, after an absence of eighteen months, I find a universal desire for the right to vote and manage our own affairs. I sincerely hope the coming Republican Congress will give our citizens that right. "There is another matter which should be coupled with the agitation for suffrage and made part of the suffrage act. I refer to the repeal of the so-called Borland act, which has worked such hardships on every man and woman of small means in the District of Columbia. "The Borland act has caused since it became a law almost a total suspension of building in the subdivisions where people of small means sought to become home owners; has caused great numbers of men and women to abandon lots partially paid for because of the fact that the assessments for sidewalks and street paving, etc., in every instance amount to more than the value of the lot or lots. No greater injustice and hardship was ever put on poor people who sought to own their own little homes. "It must be borne in mind in this connection, that these same people of small means have paid their share for years prior to the enactment of this most iniquitious law, for the improvements of streets and alleys about the homes of the rich and well-to-do. "The Borland act, whether meant to be or not, turned out to be class legislation and works hardship and injustice on only one class—the poor man and woman of the District of Columbia, who seeks a home. "To this numerous class of citizens the repeal of this law by Congress, to my mind, is of equal importance with the right to vote, and should be pressed on our friends in Congress, and in this connection I will use whatever influence. I may have with my Republican friends in Congress for the repeal of this most unjust law." BETHEL LITERARY. Licut. William H. York will address Bethel Literary next Tuesday evening, April 8, on "With the 92d Division in France." Licut.

Dissatisfied Members Walk Out, But Four-fifth Remained and Transacted Business. The Baptist Ministers' Conference, which meets in the Metropolitan Baptist Church every Monday morning, received a slight jolt at its regular meeting a few weeks ago by a few of the defeated walking out and organizing another conference. The trouble was over the Evangelist, Alexander Willbanks, who has a larger following perhaps than any Baptist minister in this country. Some time ago an effort was made to exclude the evangelist, who was victorious by a vote of two to one. Being unable to carry things their own way, the dissatisfied faction left and attempted to set up another organization in the same church and in the presence of the bona fide president, Dr. M. W. D. Norman, but the president informed the dissatisfied faction that such an act was unconstitutional; so this faction met elsewhere. When Dr. W. J. Howard refused to follow them they sent a delegation to ask him to join them. This old veteran, who is at the head of the Old Folks' Home, and one of the most influential men in the conference, refused to be persuaded to leave his first love. The most influential and most representative members of the conference remained. Rev. George O. Bullock of the Third Baptist Church, who was brought to the city by Rev. Norman, was one of the visitors to leave. He hasn't warmed his feet very good as yet. Another member from Alexandria, Va., also left. Another one from Brunswick, Md., an ex-pastor, also left. Among others who left are Revs. J. Milton Waldron, J. Harvey Randolph, H. Powell, W. D. Jarvis, J. L. Pinn, Walter H. Brooks, J. A. Johnson, William Williams and Aquilla Sayles. Action will now be taken to expel those who bolted the conference. "These Christian brethren," stated a member of the organization, "don't believe in the parable, 'He without fault cast the first stone.' They believe in the old mosaic dispensation, 'There is punishment after death?' After the brethren left there was a love feast held, and the great Baptist Conference is doing business at the same old stand in love and harmony. HOTEL NEWS By R. De Reef Miller.

Report of Activities for the Week Ending March 30, 1919. The class that has been organized for the training of leaders in War Camp Community Service work had a record attendance on Monday night, when nineteen additional persons enrolled for the course. The full enrollment of thirty-nine persons was present. The class was taught by Mrs. Genevieve Turner Holman. The club was open for the reception of guests on Tuesday evening, quite a number of soldiers enjoying the privileges. The citizens of Brentwood, Md., entertained a large number of soldiers from the Walter Reed General Hospital at a special dinner party in one of the homes of its citizens. A real social hour was enjoyed by the soldiers at the club on Wednesday. Several men discharged from the service were aided in securing employment. A meeting of the executive committee was held, and a number of out-of-town visitors were entertained. The club entertained a very large number of soldiers on Thursday night at its "social, hour." Several soldiers, who had seen service overseas, related their thrilling experiences. The Randall Community Center, co-operating with War Camp Community Club, No. 3, served a beautiful supper to about 100 soldiers, and besides, entertained them with a musical and literary program. Fourteen soldiers from the Walter Reed General Hospital were dinner guests on Friday evening at Thurston's cafe, the proprietor, Mr. J. H. Thurston, furnishing a dinner of grapefruit, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green peas, biscuits, tomato and lettuce salad, home-made ice cream and coffee. Smokes were also provided for the dinner guests. At night, at the club, the members of the Ebenezer M. E. Church entertained with a musical and literary program and served refreshments to the soldiers: Those taking part in the program were Misses Blanche Naylor, Daisy Henson, Alice Carter, Blanche Berry, Mabel Redmond and Mr. Robert Stratton. Mr. Howard A. W. Briggs, president of Straight College, New Orleans, La., delivered an interesting address.

Congress. Must Act and- Relieve the People. By J. C. Cunningham. Must the patriotic, loyal Americans suffer and pay heavily for the murderous deeds of treacherous Germany? It looks that way. For a few days ago it was announced in the public press that Germany could now buy food in the United States at cost. And in less than forty-eight hours after this unfair announcement was made the food price boosters in Washington got busy and have almost doubled the price of very much of the necessities of life. Unless Congress gets in dead earnest and does something in the way of protecting the people against the seemingly high-handed robbery of these Washington merchants, who are combined together in what are now known as "associations," and are daily taking undue advantage of the hard-working people, the future spells ruin to this great city. One hears no more of the old-time trust. There was a law against trusts, though, like in many other cases, the law was not rigidly enforced. But in order to completely dodge the whole business, these money-grabbers and hoarders of many millions of dollars that they have taken from the helpless poor people, have side-stepped the name trust and have substituted the good name "association!" This, perhaps, sounds more generous to the deluded public, but it serves the same purpose, only it is ten thousand times worse than the once so-called "trust." Now notice, there is the coal dealers' "association," the grocers' "association," the milk dealers' "association," the laundry association, the shoe dealers' association, the fish dealers' association, and, oh, there are associations galore. And there were never any secret societies on earth to carry out their aims and purposes with more alacrity than this new name "association," but, in reality, the some old brazen trusts! There was a growing boosting of high prices previous to the coming of that world's "special saviour," Herbert Hoover. Everybody was of the opinion that when this modern Joseph of Egypt got hold of the food business everything would be sold at least at honest prices. But from the time Hoover got things in his hands food took the wings of the morning and soared aloft, and has been going from high to higher from that time to the present day. Nobody ever heard of selling fish tails—this order was given by Hoover. Just think of it! Shad that one could buy for 35 cents a year ago, today will bring either $2.50 or $3, or the generous fish dealers will dump them back in the river. Lard has gone up from its lofty abode. Flour is now $14 and $15 a barrel (to the patriotic American citizen), while the Germans may have what they want for "half price!" As patriotic as we may be, and we are anxious to help the country in every way possible, it goes without saying that hundreds of thousands of people will be unable to buy any more liberty bonds, while these coal and grocery price boosters are daily shooting up already high prices. It's the duty of the government to check the price-boosting associations, and if it isn't done it will, we fear, be only a question of a short time before there will be bloodshed in this country because of the unbearable oppression of the do-nothing rich. These chains of stores, which claim to be saving the people money, are the leading ones in taking undue advantage of the people. They sell at high prices to suit themselves, and if you bought a hundred dollars' worth DR. W. L. SMITH'S INDIGES TION CURE.

Mo. you'd have to take it home yourself or pay some one else to take it for you. A few years ago this city was infested with what was known as money "loan sharks." These loan sharks took advantage of the people to such an extent that Congress was forced to enact laws to drive them out of business. The whisky dealers were charged with being the cause of the heads of families being unable to feed and clothe their wives and little children. That was true. And the whisky men were put out of business. Now, how much better is the coal man and the groceryman? There is no less want for food and clothes since the loan sharks and whisky dealers have been put out of commission. Any why? Because these damnable price-boosting associations, which are nation-wide, are allowed to oppress the poor people at will. Congress should do something to relieve the people or the actions of these price-boosting associations may invite bolshevism on our shores. But we believe twould have been better for this country if Food Administrator Hoover had never been born. BASE BALL. The Naval Reserve Force base ball team had its initial work-out Monday.

Things ended all right and we are better off; but had that 92d Division been destroyed, we would have been put back at least fifty years. years. "We threw open our colleges and our little business enterprises. We sent over the very best men we had—men who had purpose, and had those men been destroyed we would have been put back at least 100 years. The white race could afford to send its best men. This race had hundreds of thousands of men, with years of civilization; but within fifty-seven or sixty years' time it is absolutely impossible to make leaders such as the leaders that you sent over." First Lieut. James E. Scott of Savannah, Ga., who was graduated from Hampton Institute in 1911 and who has commanded the Headquarters Company of the 367 Regiment (the original "Buffaloes"), 92d Division, recently spoke these ringing words to the Hampton workers and students. Lieut. Scott was introduced to the large audience by Dr. George Phenix, vice principal of Hampton, and was received with enthusiastic applause. Lieut. Scott said: "The Negroes, notwithstanding the fact that they had been denied the privileges of military training and leadership, when the call came, sent the very best that they had, to be led to the bloody battlefields of Europe, to be practically sacrificed, to show to the American people that, notwithstanding the fact that they have not had all the privileges and rights that belong to citizenship, they have been willing to die for the country whenever the time comes. "Negroes have proved that, notwithstanding the fact that they have been denied privileges, when the call comes they are not only willing to go, but demand the chance of making the supreme sacrifice. ing the supreme "It is not a question, of how many were or were not killed, the Negroes have placed themselves in a position to be used, and whenever they were not used, it was not their fault. "Not only the men who have gathered under the flag, but the stevedores and men working in those labor battalions, who have kept the American Army continually supplied, who have kept food and clothing and equipment rushing to the front all the time, who have been laying railroad tracks for the transportation of equipment to the American soldiers up to the front line—they have equally done their part. They have not only done it, but they are doing it now. And for that we should be more than thankful. "Never before in the history of the world has there been such suffering as Negro officers have had to suffer. On long marches, in the trenches, and under fire, we kept ever before us our purpose, and with the constant prayers of the American people and the courage of our fearless men, we have led those men. We have led them up to the battlefield and placed them on line with the best troops of the world—troops that have spent their lives soldiering. We have placed those men there, and when the time came—when the zero hour came—they have always been on the job, and the Germans welcomed them in a way that we like to be welcomed. "We are going to have a good many blessings that have come out of this war, and what we want to do is to become efficient. * * * We are going to do things, and they will want to do things better than any other man. We have had a chance to measure up against men and we know where we are going to stand now. We have the same chance. We are going to develop into as beautiful flowers as any other flowers in nature's garden. "It has been my pleasure to lead the Headquarters Company, which is designated to be led by a white leader, because Negroes have not been tried out and have not had a chance to handle anything as large as that. The fact that we have been able to carry that company through, from the time that they entered France until the mustering out of the company by a colored man, is going to make us more in demand for a good many things that we have never done before. "Do not forget your missions. Remember, in order to get what we want we must keep our heads up and remember that our big future is before us. "We fought because we loved America and we wanted to prove that whenever the time comes, whenever she is threatened from a foe without, we stand ready and willing to die. They have given themselves up completely to the will of their commanders, to be used whenever necessary, for whatever purpose they saw fit to use them. For that alone you have a claim—and Hampton has a claim—on whatever good that can come out of their efforts." BERMAN.

Willis Bradley, dramatic tenor of Seattle, Wash., accompanied by Mr. Louis N. Brown of this city, rendered a program replete with classical numbers that would do credit to artists of other races, at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran streets northwest, the second week of March. Such authors as Coleridge-Taylor, Harry T. Burleigh, Will Marion Cook, J. Rosamond Johnson, Verdi, Balfe, Bohm and McDermit were represented on his program. The aria, "La Boheme," was sung in Italian, as well as the aria, "Celeste Aida." His interpretation was intelligent, to say the least, and his limpid tones rang out with the warmth and color of a trained singer. Mr. Brown presided at the organ with a degree of dexterity and fluency associated with all his performances and his accompanying was skillfully executed, supporting his soloist with marked intelligence. A. Jacob Thomas, B. M., first lieutenant, bandmaster 368th Infantry, is in the city and contemplates opening a conservatory for bandmen here.

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.

C., APRIL 5, 1919 THE MOENS CASE. Guilty as indicted, reported the foreman of the jury in the Moens case Tuesday evening, April 1st. If there ever was a case that commanded the immediate attention of the Board of Education, it is the case that has just come to a close. It is unfortunate that those higher up should not have been made to face a jury. It is unfortunate that certain teachers in our public schools and others whose pictures were taken in a nude condition should be allowed to remain in our public schools. These teachers should be called before the Board of Education and be dismissed, so that suspicion should be taken from the innocent. In the name of the people, The Bee demands an investigation by the Board of Education, and those teachers who come under the Moens band be publicly dismissed from our schools. The people demand it. Colored society should be renovated. These people should have had better sense than to believe the rot that was being poured into their ears. The barbarians would not be guilty of the acts that the Government brought out in this trial, which were too revolting to be published. The Government has done its duty towards colored society in this city. And, true, as Prosecutor Arth declared to the jury, it is to improve the moral condition of the colored people, as much as it is to rid society of a pest. The Bee has always maintained that the condition of our colored schools were deplorable, and for that reason strong men are needed on the Board of Education. One witness testified that Professor Moens obtained his authority to take pictures in the schools from the Board of Education. While the Board of Education may have given him permission to take pictures, it certainly did not give him authority to take pupils and teachers in a nude condition—such a condition as the eight pictures show in the possession of the Government. They are the most vulgar pictures that human eyes ever behold—a disgrace to society and a gross reflection on the woman who had the nerve to stand before a camera in a naked condition. The Government has done its duty to society, as well as given a moral lesson to those who posed. Society will not be renovated until those females are thrown out of the schools and society. The very idea of a teacher exposing herself in a nude condition is something beyond human comprehension. Every respectable citizens should rise and demand an investigation of our schools; and request that every teacher who had the temerity to pose in a nude state be removed immediately from our schools. They should be made to face the music as a warning to others. They are no more than those females who testified. The idea of becoming intoxicated over the idea that this Professor Moens would be able to convince the world that white people had as much colored blood in them as the colored people! What difference does it make if the entire white race had colored blood in their veins, would that improve the condition of the colored people? This so-called colored society in this city and some other places in the United States is ashamed of its color. There are so many colored people who are anxious to be white, and the moment a few of them are given an opportunity to associate with a white person they immediately lose their heads. The bad feature of the whole affair is that so-called intelligent colored men and women should become so intoxicated over a white foreign face. They might have known that something was wrong when a white man, of whom they know nothing, with an accent of a German, Russian, Belgian, and a Frenchman, with an air of a millionaire, came into their midsts. The so-called intelligent and educated colored people fell for it as the rats in the cartoon on our front page indicate. The Government has done its duty; now let the colored people do their duty. The Bee, on behalf of the thousands of colored children, and the parents of those children, extends its thanks to the Government. The convictions of this man is a solution to the colored people. The people have organized and demand an investigation of the colored public schools and the bringing to trial of those persons who are mixed up with this case, so that aspersion shall be taken off the teachers in our schools. Information reached its office that a minister of the Gospel and a certain male teacher in one of the colleges have been very active in keeping certain females under cover. There is no reason that one class of females should be exposed and those higher up be kept under cover. Our Board of Education is in need of strong men at this time, and since one member's term is to expire shortly, the people appeal to the judges of the Supreme Court to place a strong representative citizen on the Board of Education—a man who is not allied with this organization known as Boule, whose ethics are to sustain its members, right or wrong. The great trouble has been the color line drawn in colored society. The half whites want to be white, to enable them to get away from the common people. Moens' teaching has been that the white people have as much Negro blood in their veins as the colored people, which has intoxicated the brain of colored society. Let certain classes of colored people eliminate race prejudice, segregation and discrimination among themselves. Do something that will commend them to society and make them a factor in the community, then this race prejudice will die of sleeping sickness. The propaganda that is being taught by the Boule organization will not ruin our society. THE COMING MAN.

Editor The Bee, Washington, D. C. My Dear Sir: The South has had all kinds of leadership from the days of reconstruction to the present time, and there is but one man who has met the requirements of real leadership. This man has been tried and weighed in the balance and not found wanting. He is no apologist and neither is he a trimmer. He has surmounted all impediments and the opposition of his competitors. He has brushed aside as the winds have cleared away the debris in a withered forest. He has constructed a monument that will go down the ages and future generations will emblazon in the Book of Fame the true man and the real leader. The Bee predicts that the coming man of the colored American race is Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C. He is the man in whom the race has confidence and the man in whom the South will confide. He will not sacrifice the race for self-aggrandizement to perpetuate a personal ambition. Let the South rally to him. He has but one thought and one ambition. I am sending you copies of letters which have passed on the given date to persons relative to my book being prohibited from the U. S. mail. The book is The Justice against injustice and given facts of injustice to our race. I took it up with Mr. Hays of New York and my object is by no means a secret at this time. The American people will know Mr. Hays aims to help build a greater civilization, with the greatest political party in the world. Under the present conditions I am sorry for the man or set of men who do not agree with his party, especially of our race. The justice-only covers three subjects, viz: The Texas City outrage case by white soldiers in 1915, mob violence and the general exodus north and its cause, etc. I am unable to see why the book is notailable. I note when the Houston riot by colored soldiers was being investigated the white southern press denounced the boys in advance of the verdict, in fact, rendered the first opinion and decision in the case. The strange thing about it is no objection was made to this denunciation by the P. O. Department. My race should protect me, from the very fact under the Constitution the book is notailable. I am in for a universal just contention for my race or any race. I am, Respectfully, E. C. BRANCH. Galveston, Tex. March 26, 1919. Solicitor, Dept. of Postoffice, Washington, D. C. I have received the copy of "The Justice" from your dept. that I mailed the Eastern Mallorable Iron Works, Wilmington, Del., no doubt sent to you by the postmaster here. I see you note on the envelope not mailable, but fail to give page or chapter. Do you mean the book as a whole, or certain notations not mailable? The book covers only three important subjects, viz: Mob violence, exodus and its cause and the Texas City outrage case by white army officials. Which of these do your dep't hope to stop my book? If you have reference to the Texas City outrage write-up, I wish to advise your dep't that you did not stop the white press from writing up the Houston riot. Does your dep't use the same relative to both white and Negro soldiers? You remember, you declared the book, "Appeal to Justice" unmailable, and also failed to point out the unlawful words and phrases. If you are right I am with you. I am in position to prove the contents of the book to be correct. Does this law in question discriminate relative to the race involved in the contention? These are facts which should be cleared up. It is impossible for men to declare the "Holy Bible" not mailable—a book of divine facts. Has America, with her great civilization, any laws to suppress facts dealing with injustice in American, home and national affairs? If so, the fifty dollars I spent for liberty bonds was in vain. If American democracy includes my race no laws are violated in the book. It will be thoroughly investigated, as we are looking for to share some part of the new justice. Respectfully, E. C. BRANCH.

I mailed you, some few days ago, a little book called "The Justice," but the post office people sent it to Washington to the solicitor and that dep't refused to let it go through the mail. I can only say the book was, and is, a book of facts. I wish to further advise you I will comply with my last letter. I am, Respectfully, E. C. BRANCH. Galveston, Tex. March 26, 1919. Mr. W. H. Hays, 452 5th Ave., New York. Dear Sir: I am sending you the envelope I used to mail the Eastern Mallorable Iron. Works one of my books, "The Justice." It seems that the book was sent to Washington, D. C., by the local P. O. people. This bears out my letter to you a few days ago, relative to a universal change in government officials, very essential. I am also sending you a copy of my letter to Washington officials. You may return the envelope when you see fit. I am, The position taken by the colored people of Ohio with reference to the so-called Beaty bill to prevent discrimination in public places, now pending in the Ohio house of representatives, is misinterpreted by white people who assume it is a desire for "social equality." This nebular thing called "social equality" is as foreign to the hopes and aspirations of colored citizens as is the Bolsheviki spirit now rampant in Europe. The colored people want simply justice—they want the rights, privileges and opportunities vouchsafed to them, as citizens, by the constitution enforced. They reason, and very properly, that if the country could call more than 400,000 of the race to help fight "to make the world safe for democracy," they are entitled to democracy here at home. They reason that, if they were sufficiently loyal to give from their slender purses $100,000,000 to help finance this so-called war for world democracy, even their loyalty as represented in dollars and cents ought to be rewarded by justice, rather than injustice. There are millions of white people who are admitted to hotels, cafes and theaters who are not social equals, in the modern acceptance of the term. White men and women sleep in hotels, dine at cafes and attend theaters, sitting side by side of each other, without becoming socially intimate. We had 200,000 colored soldiers in France, and they fought and endured splendidly. Their color was not an exemption from being sent into battle. Many of them fell in battle over there; many are returning armless, legless, sightless and with shattered, irreparable health as evidence they fought for the establishment of democracy in Europe. These are returning to their own country, which sent them hence to fight and die for freedom for others, only to find that an inconsistent discrimination denies them rights and privileges in public places which foreigners, "conscientious objectors," obstructing pacifists and slackers freely enjoy. This discrimination against loyalists makes for unrest, and there is no disguising the fact that there is social unrest among the 12,000,000 of colored people in this country—the migration of nearly a half million from the South, since the war began, to escape injustice, is the proof of this unrest. The entire world is in a state of unrest, the oppressed rising against oppressors. This war, this monstrous inhuman war that has cost millions of lives and billions of dollars in property, in the final analysis was but the result of unrest on the part of the oppressed. Some whites are inclined to the belief that the THE BEATY BILL. passage of the Beaty bill, which merely guarantees citizen rights to loyal citizens, will result in racial clashes. Such a belief is not founded on reason. It is the failure to guarantee vouchsafed constitutional rights that engenders clashes, both racial and class. Colored people in Ohio, and they have been joined by the entire race throughout the country, want the Beaty bill passed merely to enforce the rights and privileges the constitution vouchsafes, a constitution they fought to help establish and preserve.—Ralph W. Tyler, in the Daily Ohio State Journal. SERGT. EUGENE DAVIS. Sergt. Eugene Davis, who has been a faithful and honest employee of Peter Grogan, Sons & Co., has served his country faithfully before he enlisted in the recent world war. For a number of years he has been in the employment of this great furniture company and is respected for his honesty and faithfulness. He has a family, but that did not deter him from serving his country. He enlisted in Company A, Ist Separate Battalion, District of Columbia National Guards, in 1896. He left them with a few others of his comrades when the President issued a call for 1914 volunteers to go to Cuba; and was one of the first to enlist. He enlisted in June, 1898, and was honorably discharged in March, 1899. During the Mexican border trouble his battalion was sent to Waco, Tex., where he remained three months under the command of the late James E. Walker, of whom he speaks in the highest terms as being a man who would not take an insult from any one. March 16, 1917, he was called out again to go in the recent great conflict. He was promoted to color sergeant at Newport News, Va., the first day of January, 1918, and served through battles as color sergeant of the 372d Regiment of U. S. Infantry, or, the Red Hand Division. They had one big battle that lasted seventy-two hours, which was the last battle before the armistice was signed. He returned home and had a two-week rest before returning to his employment with the furniture firm of Grogan, Sons & Co., the firm to which he extends his many thanks for their kindness to his wife, for they paid, his wages every week. While he was in the service, Sergt. Davis, in speaking to a representative of The Bee stated, that words are not at his command to express his gratitude for the many liberal acts tendered by this firm. This company claims Sergt. Davis is their representative in the late war. His wages have been increased. He also speaks of the bravery and manhood of Lieut. Newman of the 1st Separate Battalion. THAT PETITION Some officious individual has circulated a petition to the effect that certain teachers are under suspicion as being in the Moens case. Who made this officious individual the criterion of the morals of the teachers? No teachers with any good sense will sign such a petition; no innocent teacher will suspect herself. Petition Congress for an immediate investigation of the schools—then you will get those higher up. Married and single teachers both are connected with this unfortunate affair. Innocent teachers need not have any fear. The people know the guilty ones. The Bee recommends its patrons to patronize that scientific oculist.

Dr. Fred Palmer's SKIN WHITENER An act of Congress dated February 14, 1863, approved the establishment of the Orphans' Home by the National Association for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children. The home admirably served its purpose, making good citizens of hundreds of boys and girls during its fifty-six years of successful operation. For about forty years the Board of Education furnished teachers and supplies, thus maintaining a regular public school in the home. The withdrawal of the children from the home by the Board of Children's Guardians on February 21, 1919, necessitated the closing of the school. Miss G. T. Dodson, an excellent teacher, has been transferred to the Garnett-Patterson Phelps group. Miss Nellie A. Plummer, who was appointed by the late Wm. H. H. Wormley January 1, 1883, was made principal in 1887. After more than thirty-six years of faithful service at the home we do not wish for Miss Plummer so long a stay at the Bruce School, to which she has been transferred, but we do wish her stay to be equally as successful.
