Thousands In PURSIT Y.M.C.A.CAMPAIGN April 12th--17th For 500 Members--Our Y is "OK"-Join VOL. XXXIX. NO. 45 Thou THE PEOPLE ASSE RESOLUTIONS TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE Protest Against Charlotte Hunter—Boycott the High School and Request an Investigation of the Schools—Indignation Runs High. Those Higher Up to Be Exposed and Expelled From Society. One of the largest and most representative mass meetings ever held in this city was held under the auspices of the Parents' League on last Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church in the interest of better moral conditions for our public schools. The intense and overwhelming desire for these better conditions was manifested by the size and the composition of the audience. The church, the largest in the city, was packed to the doors. Mrs. C. M. Tanner presided, and Miss Jurix acted as secretary. Stirring addresses were made by Judge R. R. Horner, Dr. D. A. Lane, George C. Smith, Rev. Drs. Jarvis, Waldron, Turpeau and Pinn. The speakers were unanimous in the conclusions that the entire colored population of this community should not be indicted for the moral laxities of those who have brought upon the city the present disgraceful condition of affairs. They held that there were as good women in the schools and in the homes here as could be found anywhere and in any race. They stoutly maintained, however, that the guilty, high and low, in this Moens case must be exposed and brought to justice, that the fair name of the innocent be no longer clouded. The authorities that be were scorchingly scathed and roundly denounced for permitting one of the principals in this case to continue teaching her classes in the high school. The sentiment of nearly the entire audience was that the parents of children attending high school should boycott the high school until action is taken ridding that school of the notoriously objectionable woman who, in spite of her moral turpitude, as brought out in the recent trial of Moens, is still teaching there. Rev. Dr. Tanner made it plain that this parents' association intended to see to it that the guilty were removed from our schools and that all funds contributed to this end would be strictly accounted for. He presented resolutions demanding a thorough investigation of the situation brought about by this case and the prompt dismissal from the schools of those found guilty. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. A motion by Dr. Turpeau was adopted that the parents having children attending the classes of this particular woman instruct their children to not attend her classes any longer. Mrs. Tanner announced that these public meetings would continue every Tuesday night and invited all who were anxious for better conditions in our schools to be present at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church next Tuesday evening. --- HUNTING FOR HUNTER. Two Thousand Angry Parents and Citizens Storm the High School—Hundreds Enter the Building Looking for Miss Hunter—Principal Wilkins Quiets the People. As the result of the meeting at the Metropolitan Methodist Church last Tuesday evening, where two thousand citizens crowded that great auditorium and as many more on the outside, over two thousand citizens assembled in front of the Colored High School Tuesday morning and many hundreds entered the school building looking for Charlotte Hunter, who figured so prominently in the celebrated Moins case and who was found guilty by a jury last week, with the intention of prohibiting the teacher from teaching their children. The janitor informed the citizens that Miss Hunter had left. It was whispered that she was in a telephone booth phoning to her lawyer. Principal Wilkinson, of the Dunbar High School, addressed the vast crowd, and among other things he said that he was powerless to do anything; that it was left to the Board of Education; that charges must be filed with that body. Not being able to find Miss Hunter, the citizens left the building, with the determination of returning Thursday morning. "This woman shall not be permitted to teach our children," cried many hundreds of parents. COLORED FIREMEN. A Reception in Their Honor—Objectionable Teachers in the Public Schools Asked to Be Removed—Southwest Civic Association to Celebrate Installing of Company. Resolutions Passed. Members of No: 4 fire company, the first all-colored company in Washington, will be guests at a reception in their honor at the engine house next month. A resolution of the Southwest Civic Association, that a reception be given to the firemen, was passed at a meeting of the association last night at Randall School. J. E. White was named chairman of a committee. On motion of A. L. Williams, the secretary was instructed to send a letter to the Commissioners of the District thanking them for the placing an all-colored company in the southwest section of Washington. President R. C. Brooks said the placing of such a company proves that the colored citizens and the southwest section are now "on the map." Mr. Williams also introduced a resolution instructing the secretary to send a letter to the Board of Education asking that all undesirable teachers in the colored schools be dropped from the school system. The school board was asked to take proper action against colored teachers who have become involved in a case WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1919 in the local courts. President Brooks praised the efforts of the citizens of the southwest section in keeping the section free from vice, and deplored the feeling that he said exists in other sections of the city that "bootleg" whisky is sold only in the southwest section. CHAUTAUQUA CONCERT. The Archie Harrod Chautauqua Concert Company will give its fourth concert of the season at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Florida avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets, northwest, Monday evening, April 14, 1919. Prof. Harrod is having a great success in this work. It is a rare treat to attend a Chautauqua Concert in the Eastern cities. A Chautauqua Concert excels all other concerts. Members who compose this Chautauqua Company have delighted former audiences in rendering Prof. Harrod's famous program, which follows: Soloists—Effie Sewell, soprano; $ ^{b} $ Emma Sewell, alto; Leon Thompson, basso. Company—Maimie Tierry, soprano; Amelia Leggins, soprano; Mrs. Coffer, soprano; Mattie Gantt, alto; Mrs. Willis, alto; John Thompson, basso; Rev. Scott, reader and basso; Fannie Payne, pianist. DR. DURKEE AT PLYMOUTH. Last night at Plymouth Congregational Church, to a full house, Dr. Durkee discoursed on "Why Am I Here?" A quartet from the Howard University sang, as did Mr. Frank Williams. This lecture was staged for the benefit of the $5,000 victory rally of Plymouth Church. Dr. Durkee was highly complimented. SALE OF NEWSPAPERS IN THE CHURCHES A. MENACE The worshipers of several of the city churches have complained of the annoyance of certain unscrupulous race papers being on sale in the churches of Washington, the vendors acting like candy sales boys in the theatres. The officers of such churches should check these sales, or any such practice. We have enough news dealers in all sections of the city to supply the demand without commercializing the Church of God. THE "EAGLE MARATHON." Under Auspices of the Physical Department of the Y. M. C. A., May 2, 1919—The Big Spring Event. Five teams of fifteen men each will compete, besides the unattached runners.

Prizes will be awarded and a big athletic program will be given in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium on the night of the race. The baseball teams have begun to throw the old pill around on the lots. The Y. M. C. A. team was out for its first practice on Tuesday. A fine squad was out, and it proved to be a good nucleus for a great team. It was delightful to see some of last year's old stars back—among whom were B. Brown, J. Williams, Tibbs and Brickhouse. Many of the old players were absent because of the fact that notices did not reach them in time. We are sending out a special call to these men to report for duty. A. Green, S. Morris, C. Neale and S. Washington are out for a place on this year's team. The "District Baseball League" is getting in fine condition to begin the season. At present there are six teams in the league, and Washington might prepare herself now to see a great baseball season. The teams now in the league are: Washington Athletics, Naval Gun Factory, Holy Name Guild, Y. M. C. A., Naval Reserve Force, and the LeDroit Tigers. Watch the papers for further announcements.

A Reception Given to Him in Jersey City, N. J. (Special to the Bee.) Jersey City, N. J., April 1.—The Rev. W. H: Jernagin, D. D., pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Washington, D. C., and president of the National Race Conference, arrived here from Paris, France, last Monday and was given a hearty and warm reception by his friends and the public in general. He had already sent a wireless telegram to the Rev. R. C. Judkins that he woul arrive Monday, and a meeting was arranged for him at the Salem Baptist Church. A packed house greeted him and heard with interest his account of his trip and an account of the Pan-African Conference. Seated upon the rostrum with the distinguished guest were: The Rev. T. T. Tucker, of Newark; the Rev. A. T. Johnson, the Rev. C. M. Branam, the Rev. Clarke, and Pastor Judkins. The music was furnished by the B. Y. P. U. Orchestra. This was their first public appearance and they made a most favorable impression. The refreshments were furnished by the B. Y P. U. The closest attention was paid to Dr. Jernagin's utterances and the audience was alive to the great questions that he discussed. While in the city he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Thomas, of Jackson avenue. He left Tuesday for home in Washington, carrying with him the best wishes of a large number of friends. MEMORIAL EXERCISES: Memorial exercises of Columbia Lodge of Elks will be held at Asbury Church tomorrow. Sunday evening, April 13, at 8 o'clock. WILLING WORKERS.

It is old No. 4 engine company, on Virginia avenue, between Four-and-a-Half and Sixth streets south-west. On the back row, reading from left to right, are C. Young, W. T. Green, A. A. King, and G. F. O'Brien. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. "What fools we mortals be" is one of the ancient aphorisms. Education makes great fools of those who are tainted with color, prejudice. When a person who claims to possess all the knowledge in the world falls to acts that are silly, what can we expect of those who haven't had the advantages, of a school, or intelligent environments? The recent expose of the social class in this city is one of the greatest calamities that has ever befallen this city. I would like to know what the Board of Education intends to reward with those have had better sex. The alley women, the demi-mondes, would not have subjected themselves to such indignities. If one of their own had gone so far as wink his eye at one of those human beauties, who had become so intoxicated with the idea that Prof. Moens could convince them that they had white blood in their veins, the insult would have been beyond the power of the offender to make a satisfactory apology. But, just think of a teacher, who is employed in our public schools, a married woman; whose social standing has never been questioned, a physician's daughter, or a doctor's wife, placing themselves in such a disgraceful position! They ought to be placarded and driven through the city as a civilized being who allowed himself or herself to be duped by flattery. A minister of the Gospel who had knowledge of these disgraceful acts and attempts to cover them up is no better than the principals. He is a particept criminis and should be treated as a moral outcast. He has no business in the pulpit. Speaking of the nerve of the individuals, these women who posed in a nude condition had some nervel I have some startling developments that will make your hair stand on end like quills on a porcupine. I shall wait and see what the Board of Education intends to do before I explode. The guilty ones must face the music or get out of the schools. Society has no place for them. Their place is among the outcasts of the world. The Board of Education never gave Moens authority, as Teacher Bailey testified, to take pictures of pupils. The president of the Board of Education, I understand, gave Moens a letter of authority to visit the schools and take pictures of pupils. If that is a fact, by what authority was this order given? The Board of Education has been placed in an embarrassing position by its former president. There is no reason why some dismissals should not take place immediately. The condition of our girls is deplorable. It is enough for outsiders to be guilty of such conduct, but when a female teacher subjects herself to such indignities she should be immediately dismissed. These persons are known to the people, and if the Board of Education refuses to take some action, the people should. * * * I was on the boulevard last Sunday; and the fashion plates were in evidence. It was a dress parade of the beauties of Washington. No doubt it was the largest turnout that ever was witnessed since the establishment of this theatre. Miss Ford was right on the job, and Lieut. Vincent Thomas was kept busy. Vincent handled the crowd like a veteran. Some people are so full of vanity that they will go to any extent to satisfy it. There are to be a few petitions for divorces, I understand. The first one to be filed will be one of the most prominent figures that posed for Moens. Some sensational developments are coming very soon. Now, when the petition for divorce is filed, the defendant will have an opportunity to explain to her husband why she posed in the garb of nature. I think that the names of those whose nude pictures I have seen should be known, as a vindication to those who are under suspicion. The Board of Education is in duty bound to cite those teachers who are known to have had nude pictures taken to make a public explanation and then publicly dismiss them. No female teacher who had gall enough to have a nude picture taken of herself has enough modesty to teach little children. They have no more right to be kept under cover than anyone else. If a woman is so vain as to do acts of indecency, she is unfit to teach in our schools, and therefore the Board of Education should at once appoint a special committee to investigate the conduct of the teachers who lost all of their modesty. JOHN HAY AND THE SENATE. The autobiography of John Hay, President McKinley's great Secretary of State, is interesting reading, and some of the things he wrote years ago are just as true now. For instance, on April 24, 1900, he wrote to Richard Watson Gilder: "The fact that a treaty gives to the country a great lasting advantage seems to weigh nothing whatever in the minds of about half the Senators. Personal interests, personal spites and a contingent chance of a petty political advantage are the only motives that cut any ice at present." A little later, when considering his retirement because of Senate action, he wrote: "I shall be sorry to part with the President (Mr. McKinley), who has stood nobly be me in everything, but there will always be 34 per cent of the Senate on the blackguard side of every question that comes before them." Mr. Hay humorously summed up his opinion of the Senate as a treaty making power thus: "A treaty entering the Senate is like a bull going into the arena—no one can say just how or when the final blow will fall—but one thing is certain—it will never leave the arena alive."

Editor of the Bee: Will you kindly offer for the United Civic League (Inc.) of New York City, through the columns of your great paper, this untarnished truth, as a fundamental and safe basis for a permanent peace, three points to cure the world's unrest? The people of the world, as well as the United States, are primarily interested more in permanent peace than they are a League of Nations with entangling alliances and untried obligations; and, if one is dependent upon the other (which we do not believe) then all the extraordinary, unsympathetic and strategic jockeying for advantage and control over the weaker nations and the less forward units or groups of peoples in the world should cease. We believe the League of Nations, as now proposed, to be a positive menace to world democracy and an enemy to freedom; we believe it to be a colossal, arbitrary effort on the part of two or three great countries with kindred tongues and customs to deny the smaller nations and weaker peoples of the world self determination, industrial freedom and political autonomy; and if these be the aims of the league they are, to say the least, clandestine. And no permanent peace can or will prevail builft upon the structure of injustice or the arrogance of one class of people over the other. Any successful peace agreement looking forward to permanency must breathe into its vitals Burns' magnificent regard for humanity, "A man's a man for a' that," or else the proposed league should include in its program preparations for a more drastic war than the one from which we have just emerged. When the Author of our Hope and Faith said, "Let there be light," the golden rays of this command shone upon every tribe as well as in every nok and corner of the earth; so like unto it, when the commissioners on the "League of Nations" sign a treaty of peace, the beneficent influence should rest with equal grace upon the heads of the high, the low, the weak and the strong. Equality of opportunity in every direction, equality of human rights, absolute and equal political justice, will cure every ill-to which the world is heir—and may God forbid our country, the United States, participating in any other kind. A Non-partisan Organization. John M. Royall, President 184 West 135th St., N. Y. City. REPORT OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE WEEK. The club continues its activities and seeks to cooperate with the various welfare organizations throughout the city. It aims to help the returning soldiers to adjust themselves to a peace basis, and seeks to meet the needs of soldiers and sailors in every way. Classes in War Camp Community Service work meet each Monday night, and on Wednesday night there is practice for a community center band. The class Monday night numbered fifty-one, and was very ably taught by Mr. C. H. English, director Division of Activities of the District of Columbia War Camp Community Service. The usual social privileges were enjoyed by a large number of soldiers on Tuesday. Positions were found for seven young men. The club was open for the reception and entertainment of the soldiers on Wednesday night, on which night the community committee, Judge Robert H. Terrell, chairman, held a business meeting. About 100 soldiers enjoyed the "Social Hour." They spent the time in playing pool, using the piano and the player, and in reading and writing. The Harriet Tubman Branch of the Red Cross, under the direction of Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, in charge of the Division of Colored Girls' Work, afforded aid to three soldiers who were without funds. On another occasion transportation home was afforded two, and on Saturday last aid was extended to a young man who had received a telegram stating the serious illness of his mother. The club entertained the soldiers with an interesting program of recitations and songs, followed by a dance. A thoroughly enjoyable evening was spent. The ladies of the community committee had charge of the affair. The attendance was about 150. Miss Essie Washington, gave "Aunt Goilila's Dance" and "Our Boy's Gone to War." On Saturday night, April 5, Dean Kelly Miller, of the Howard University, delivered an address to an audience of about 300 on "The Negro's Part in the New Reconstruc- tion." Remarks were made by Capt. C. G. Kelly, Capt. S. F. Sewall, who spoke on the plans and purposes of an organization of colored soldiers known as the Grand Army of Americans, and the Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church. Dancing followed these exercises. A large and enthusiastic audience greeted the chorus of thirty-six voices of the Miner Normal School (Miss Lola Johnson, directress) on Sunday afternoon. Their singing was a feature of the evening. They rendered a one-part song "The Rose Song," and a two-part song, "After the Rain." The Belgian national hymn was also sung. Mr. Elbert Williams, formerly bandmaster of the 371st Infantry, gave a clarinet solo; Mr. George E. Cohron rendered a baritone solo. There was spirited singing by the community chorus, and Miss Isabella Hall rendered in a very effective manner the several stanzas of the hymn, "I Need Thee Every Hour," as a solo, the audience singing the chorus. Mr. Arnold Taylor rendered as an incidental solo, "Home, Sweet Home," and the entire audience sang the chorus. The community songs on Sunday afternoon are growing more popular, as is evidenced by the attendance of about 250 persons, who were very appreciative and gave prolonged applause to several numbers. The number of out-of-town callers at the club during the week numbered fifty, representing various forms of civic activity and some leading institutions of learning. WHERE TO EAT.

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.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF. It is a true saying that history repeats itself. Not simi- sions of the late William E. Matthews at that time the great- sitor of colored society, the prince of entertainers, whi- meler's quarters in the residence of a representative colo- rity, and in a fashionable neighborhood, has any scandal sur- cept recent developments that took place in the courts two- years ago. On the heels of the Matthews incident followed the incident, and now we are confronted with the most gigantic political affair that any huamn eye ever witnessed. You such profane, ancient or any other kind of history; you must the jungles of Africa or to the country where it is said, a man, and you will never witness such pictures as we visited in the courts of this city of civilized and supposedly bad people. Monkies in the jungles will not appear naked in African rats will hide from passers-by; but what can be the young married and single women whose naked forms can under the pretense of showing a most foul propaganda, propaganda as would make barbarians blush. Why should the pictures be hidden from public view? The Government, but them in the Police Department, where pictures of other officers are for public inspection. Moens should have had con- tin this trial—the woman companion, or his keeper of the ruck would have been indicted under the white slave act, and all in any way were connected with this affair. We have in our possession the photo of a little 14-yed, and if her statement be true, there is no reason why principal and his associate should not be called upon to enter there is a society of colored people in this city of the class in that is affected with the white fever. This class is too white and too white to be black. This is the class tha- ses so much disruption wherever it is found and where rats. Some of them are the outcasts of society of State which they migrated. Our public schools are infested with this white fever. Monks are permitted to continue, what will be the ultimate use of our public school system? Teachers have been dis- tained our schools under the pretext of having innocently killed; others have been dismissed and demoted under one another; but here is a teacher who has appeared prominent, and from her own testimony she stated that she wished to keep the records, and when the prosecution asked for a answer was that she had none, and she has been permit- tain in our schools. Does it not demonstrate the fact that something radically wrong with our school system? It is a true saying that history repeats itself. Not since the days of the late William E. Matthews at that time the great social dictator of colored society, the prince of entertainers, who had bachelor's quarters in the residence of a representative colored citizen and in a fashionable neighborhood, has any scandal surpassed the recent developments that took place in the courts two weeks ago. On the heels of the Matthews incident followed the Relay incident, and now we are confronted with the most gigantic and diabolical affair that any huamn eye ever witnessed. You may search profane, ancient or any other kind of history; you may go into the jungles of Africa or to the country where it is said man eats man, and you will never witness such pictures as were exhibited in the courts of this city of civilized and supposedly educated people. Monkies in the jungles will not appear naked, and even African rats will hide from passers-by; but what can be said of the young married and single women whose naked forms were taken under the pretense of showing a most foul propaganda, such a propaganda as would make barbarians blush. Why should these nude pictures be hidden from public view? The Government ought to put them in the Police Department, where pictures of other offenders are for public inspection. Moens should have had company at his trial—the woman companion, or his keeper of the records, should have been indicted under the white slave act, and all others who in any way were connected with this affair. We have in our possession the photo of a little 14-year-old child, and if her statement be true, there is no reason why both the principal and his associate should not be called upon to explain. There is a society of colored people in this city of the class in question that is affected with the white fever. This class is too black to be white and too white to be black. This is the class that has caused so much disruption wherever it is found and wherever it lights. Some of them are the outcasts of society of States from which they migrated. Our public schools are infested with this white fever. If conditions are permitted to continue, what will be the ultimate outcome of our public school system? Teachers have been dismissed from our schools under the pretext of having innocently kissed a pupil; others have been dismissed and demoted under one pretext or another; but here is a teacher who has appeared prominently in a scandal, and from her own testimony she stated that she was supposed to keep the records, and when the prosecution asked for them her answer was that she had none, and she has been permitted to remain in our schools. Does it not demonstrate the fact that there is something radically wrong with our school system? History is repeating itself. THE PEOPLE'S APPEAL. Over three thousand parents and other citizens assembled at Metropolitan Methodist Church last Tuesday evening and their protest against Miss Charlotte Hunter and the school administration in permitting her to return to High School where she has been teaching since her transfer to Normal School, and two-thirds of the number that assembled church stormed the Dunbar High School Wednesday morning. It is evident that the people are indifferent action must be taken is the cry of the people.

The people have spoken at last! Over three thousand parents and other citizens assembled in the Metropolitan Methodist Church last Tuesday evening and entered their protest against Miss Charlotte Hunter and the action of the school administration in permitting her to return to the High School where she has been teaching since her transfer from the Normal School, and two-thirds of the number that assembled in the church stormed the Dunbar High School Wednesday and Thursday mornings. It is evident that the people are indignant and some action must be taken is the cry of the people. They will no longer tolerate the present condition in our public schools. The Judges of the Supreme Court, who have the appointment of the members of the Board of Education, see the necessity of appointing strong men on the Board of Education. There have been enough of the milk-and-water variety on the Board. The Judges ought to be convinced now that there is something rotten in Denmark. Mrs. Tanner, who is leading the reform, has been threatened by the guilty curs, who are too cowardly to come from under cover. No threat will deter the people from their course, If the Board of Education doesn't act, five thousand colored citizens will storm Congress. Every church and every denomination will speak. Those women, married and single, doctors' wives and daughters, lawyers' wives and everybody else whose nude pictures are in Moens' group, should be exhibited to public view as a lesson to future generations.

If any member of the Board gave such authority, the Board is not responsible. Prof. Bailey testified that he had received a letter from the former president of the Board of Education to conduct him through the schools. The Bee is certain that the former president had no idea that he was going to take nude pictures and exhibit them to establish his false propaganda. Our schools have some of the best teachers in the country in them, and no teacher of any decency would have subjected herself to any such indignities as was testified to on the stand in the Moens case. The Bee hopes that the investigation which the Board of Education intends to institute will exonerate those against whom the finger of suspicion points. There are certain married women connected with this affair whose names were not disclosed—women whose husbands stand high in the community. The members of the Board of Education will be given an opportunity to call the member to account who gave "Prof." Moens authority without their consent. No innocent teacher will take these rumors to herself and there are hundreds in our schools who stand above suspicion. It is unfortunate that any of our teachers are connected with this affair. The Board of Education will protect the good name of the teachers in our public schools and they have nothing to fear. DRIVE IS ON To Pay Off the Bonded Debt on the Stoddard Baptist Home.

Address, Box 6, Rosslyn, Va. A HOME LUNCHEON. Mrs. Sarah Curry and her sister Mrs. Bessie Strange, entertained at a charmingly appointed luncheon last Thursday in honor of their brother, Mr. Smith, who has just returned from France. The rooms were beautifully decorated with an American flag and cut flowers, and the color scheme was carried through to the dining room, where the table was also beautifully decorated with red and white roses and the place cards red, white and blue. Two very large cakes adorned the table, and the color scheme was further carried out by candles. Many weird as well as jovial stories were told of France. Several solos were rendered by Dr. T. J. Moppins, the Rev. H. Holland Powell, was full of wit and humor, Dr. S. M. Pierre led the guests to the dining room, Mr. Archie Strange presided with dignity at the head of the table. Among those present besides the hostesses were the Rev. and Mrs. T. J. Moppins, the Rev. and Mrs. Holland Powell, Dr. and Mrs. Samuel M. Pierre, Miss Jane Sedgewich, and Mrs. Curry, who was beautifully gowned in garnet silk meteor, with a touch of white tulle. This robe was in high fame by reason of the great variety of models and rich embellishment of these colored gowns making their appearance with each large company. Mrs. Strange, although in mourning, is one of the clever women, who, without the depressing crepe, show her clothes are very pronounced mourning—not merely black. Mrs. Powell had a very smart colored creation of dark green silk. Mrs. Moppins wore an exquisite combination of black and white. Miss Sedgewich had a very smart draped gown of blue and silver, brocaded with a note of contrasting colors. This was a particular smart and becoming evening gown. Mrs. Pierre, by reason of the death of her mother, Mrs. Maxfield, was attired in a handsome black lusterless silk. William Wooden, Colored, Acquitted of Capital Offense—Attorneys Tignor and McIntosh Conduct Important Trial Successfully. William Wooden, colored, recently indicted by the grand jury for rape, which is a capital offense in this jurisdiction, was acquitted Monday by 1920 HARRY L. TIGNOR a jury in criminal division of the District Supreme Court, Justice Siddons presiding. Assistant United States District Attorney B. J. Laws represented the Government at the trial, and Attorneys Harry L. Tignor and Fred D. McIntosh appeared for the defendant. PETER H. BURGESS FRED. D. McINTOSH The case was vigorously contested on both sides. The offense is alleged to have occurred in the old Patterson Tract, where Camp Meigs is now located. On account of the fact that the offense is punishable by death, the case attracted unusual attention. The Bee congratulates Attorneys Tignor and McIntosh on their masterly presentation of the case. UNDERTAKERS' UNION. Dr. R. C. Richardson to Form New Organization. Dr. R. C. Richardson, funeral director, whose place of business is at 1800 Twelfth street northwest, has called the several organized and legitimate funeral directors in this city to meet Thursday, April 17th, at 1800 Twelfth street northwest, for the purpose of organizing a union to help the poor.

Wilkinson, who testified last week in the Moens case, is 2563 Nichols avenue southeast, and not 2553. The Bee makes this correction in justice to Mrs. Wilkinson.
