15 Thousand Assemble THE GREATEST INDIGNATION IN HISTORY OF COLORED RACE Mrs. Tanner Leads the Reform Movement She Schorces Hide and Go Seek VOL. XXXIX. NO. 46 15 T THE GREATEST IN IN HISTORY OF Mrs. Tanner Leads the She Schorces Hid FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE DEMAND CHANGE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The Church, Upstairs and Down, Packed With Indignant Citizens. Board of Education and the Assistant Superintendent Scored. A Change in the Colored Public Schools and the Board of Education Asked—Protest Against the Reappointment of Dr. Hayden Johnson—Eminent Lawyers Selected—Leading Ministers, Rev. M. M. D. Norman, Rev. W. J. Jarvis, Rev. Milton Waldron, and Leading Citizens and Organizations Contributed $529.12—Mrs. Tanner, Chairman of this Reform Movement, Applauded — Editor W. Calvin Chase Received an Enthusiastic Welcome. If there is any doubt about the way the citizens of Washington feel regarding developments in the Moens case, it was all banished last Tuesday evening, when both the main auditorium, the large lecture room of the church, and both side entrances were stagnated by a mass of people—not less than fifteen thousand—to register their protest against the colored public school system. Two hours before the doors were opened the crowd was so dense that the officers of No. 3 precinct, under Captain Sullivan, were forced to clear the sidewalks and the streets. It was impossible for the people to move east or west until the congested crowd was relieved by the opening of the church doors, and in less than an hour thousands were standing on the outside of the church; unable to get a peep-in. Mrs. Tanner, the talented wife of Rev. C. M. Tanner, who is leading this reform movement, called the vast assemblage to order, and in one of her telling and effective speeches stated its object. Ex-Judge E. M. Hewlett and Rev. Milton Waldron spoke. Both speakers denounced the public school system. During the delivery of a most bitter speech against the public-school administration by ex-Judge Hewlett, Roscoe C. Bruce entered the church. Hisses came thick and fast from all parts of the house. Mr. Bruce took a seat in the pulpit, while Judge Hewlett continued his philippic against the Assistant Superintendent of Schools. At the same time Mrs. Tanner, the chairman, who stood like Ajax defying the lightning, handed Judge Hewlett a threatening anonymous letter against her to read, and at its conclusion hisses against the anonymous writer, belched forth from all parts of the church. Mrs. Tanner, with gavel in hand, turned and faced Mr. Bruce, and said if he and his friends have anything to say against her conduct of this meeting, let them sign their names to the letter; that nobody but a coward would write such a letter. Wild and enthusiastic applause greeted her remarks. George C. Smith, followed in a speech in which he said he had been reported by some emissary of Bruce, which was substantiated by Mr. Ray, who also received cold comfort from the Treasury Department in which Mr. Smith is employed. All this time Bruce sat and remained without moving a muscle, except an occasional worried smile upon his lips. Rev. Dr. Waldron said, among other things, that the school teachers of Washington had a worse name than any other class of people in the United States; that their conduct out of the city during the vacation period was the cause; that a blind man would have known what was going on in the schools. Editor W. Calvin Chase, received tremendous applause when he was introduced to speak in the main auditorium before four or five thousand people, and also in the lecture room below, after having spoken upstairs. Mr. Chase, among other things, said that he had a remarkable document to read, which was as follows, and also a partly nude picture of a child, fourteen years of age, which was taken against her will. "I shall have the child present at the next meeting and the baby shall tell her own story," he declared. The following communication was read: The Washington Eagle, 907 You Street Northwest—J. Finley Wilson, Proprietor; Chas. M. Thomas, LL. B., Associate Editor—Washington D. C. April 13, 1919. My Dear Colleagues: Upon the statement of an agent of the Department of Justice, made to me Saturday, I have telegraphed the Negro Press of the country that but one teacher was connected with scandal here, and she has resigned. "Don't come to the conclusion that those higher up will escape publicity," said Mr. Chase. "I suggest that a committee of one or two hundred representative citizens carry a petition to Congress and request an invstigation." Mr. Chase stated that he wanted to correct the statement made by one of the speakers—Dr. Waldron—that the Washington teachers have the worst name of any in the country. "We have just as good teachers and citizens in this city as there are anywhere in the United States. There are bad people not only in this city, but in every city in the United States," he said. Dr. Tanner announced from the pulpit that some of the best criminal lawyers in this country have been selected to prosecute this case, and, he declared, "I want five hundred dollars tonight." Within fifteen minutes $529.12 had been collected as a starter. "If anyone thinks that we don't mean to clean out the filth, he is mistaken. Our acts are open. Go to the Industrial Savings Bank and ask permission to look over our financial account, such has been the instructions given to the cashier of that bank," he declared. There is no mob following Mrs. Tanner, as has been charged by a member of the Board of Education. This alleged mob, as has been stated, is composed of the leading colored citizens in this city and hundreds of leading pastors and ministers. Every section in the city will be organized, local clubs are being organized, and a monster petition is being signed to memorialize Congress. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday night. Rev. H. J. Callas, who has been quite ill for several weeks, is able to be up and out again. RACE CONGRESS. National Race Congress will give welcome reception to Dr. W. H.

The Popular Pastor Received a Hearty Welcome—Liberal Gifts From the Church and the Epworth League. Baltimore, Md., April 14.—Rev. W. S. Jackson, who was pastor of the Simpson Methodist Church of Washington, D. C., for ten years, and in which city he won the confidence and the respect of the people, arrived in this city last Sunday and a royal welcome was given him. As an evidence of the respect and love the people in his new charge have for him a new pulpit Bible was presented to him by the people; also $25 for moving expenses and $25 from the Epworth League, headed by Mrs. Helen Cooper Dean. There has been no pastor in the Methodist connection who has won the confidence and respect quicker than has Rev. Jackson, who has just been installed pastor in the church just vacated by Rev. J. S. Carroll, who has been transferred to Asbury M. E. Church, Washington, D. C. Dr. Jackson comes to this city well recommended and strongly indorsed as a moral Christian minister, and already the good people of Baltimore are rallying to his support. Rev. W. S. Jackson, formerly pastor of Simpson Methodist Church in this city, had the respect and confidence of all the people. The Bee, who knows him personally, joins the people in expressing its regrets at his leaving Washington. May the good man continue to prosper and be returned to this city again, where he is loved and respected—Editor. LIEUT. VINCENT THOMAS. A Card From France Commenda Him for Bravery. The following card from a member of the 361st in France has this to say concerning Lieut. Vincent Thomas: Lieut. Thomas, of the 368th Infantry, 92d Division, did very good work during the campaign of the Argonne Forest. He volunteered to attack a machine gun nest with about twenty men. The enemy was invisible, and therefore it was impossible to make a capture. Lieut. Thomas was highly commended for his bravery. It must not be forgotten that he was one of the most efficient officers of the 368th. MT. AIRY CHURCH NEWS. As it was previously announced, Dr. C. T. Walker, of Augusta, Ga., preached to the congregation in this church last Sunday morning. It was an excellent sermon. On this occasion, being rally day, the male members were asked to contribute $25, and the female members were asked to contribute $15, all of whom contributed their assessment. The total collected was $3,851. Dr. Walker congratulated the members for their effort and said God would reward them for giving to His cause. There were several visitors from other parts of the city present to hear and see Dr. Walker, as many know him personally. The Sunday School of Mt. Airy. Church is progressing nicely. There were fully one hundred scholars present, and all took an active part in the service. The Red and Blue contest continues. Will you come and help in the great campaign? Miss Elsie Paris is an active and progressive young lady and pushes the work along. BETHEL LITERARY. Blue Triangle Night will be observed at Bethel Literary in the Metropolitan A. M. E.

COLUMBIA LODGE OF ELKS NO. 85 The Church Packed and Hundreds Left—Interesting Memorial Exercises. Exalted Ruler Bundy Delivered a Most Eloquent Address—Attorney H. L. Tignore, On the Principles of the Order—Editor W. Calvin Chase Speaks on Leadership. Columbia Lodge of Elks, No. 85, held memorial exercises last Sunday evening in Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, 11th and K streets northwest. Every available space in this great edifice was filled. Standing room was at a premium. Master of Ceremonies James H. Howard presided with grace and precision. Seated in the pulpit were Rev. M. W. Clair, former pastor of the church; his successor, Rev. J. S. Carroll; Dr. S. S. Thompson, Rev. James S. Chapman, Attorneys H. L. Tignore and W. Calvin. Chase, and Exalted Ruler E. G. Bundy. Hundreds of people had to be turned away long before the exercises began. At 8:30 p. m., the Asbury choir, under direction of Prof. Johnson, with Mrs. Essie Javvis at the organ, opened with an organ voluntary, followed by the following: Entrance of Columbia Lodge and invocation, Rev. James S. Chapman; music, choir; Scripture reading; solo, Mr. E. L. White; opening ceremonies, Columbia Lodge; selection, Amphion Glee Club; "Thanatopsis," Dr. S. S. Thompson; selection, Elks' quartett; "The Principles of Our Order," Harry L. Tignore; address, Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Sr.; eulogy, Jas. S. Chapman; remarks by the Pastor; selection, Amphion Glee Club; collection; selection, Elks' quartett; closing ceremonies, Columbia Lodge; selection, choir; benediction. Exalted Ruler Bundy delivered a most eloquent, and interesting address. No address attracted more attention or was listened to with greater interest than his address to the Elks last Sunday evening, and the manner in which he conducted the opening ceremonies of the order. "The Principles of the Order," by Attorney Harry L. Tignore, was also an interesting and entertaining address. Attorney Tignore gave some inside information, which was not known to the public and which seemed to be very surprising to those who heard him. He was followed by Editor and Attorney W. Calvin Chase, who spoke on "Leadership." His address will be found below. He was followed by Rev. M. W. Clair, who expressed his surprise. He said he thought the Elks was a sporting organization. He said it should live up to its principles by being charitable, not merely the giver to individuals, etc. The master of ceremonies, James H. Howard, stated that the Elks was the most charitable and the most liberal organization in the world, and Obituary List of 1918. tonight he would convince you (meaning Rev. Clair). Mr. Howard gave a brief history of what his organization, and the Elks generally, had accomplished and had done for charity, not only in this city, but in his home state, Pennsylvania. The celebrated Amphion Glee Club, under direction of Prof. Henry Lewis, beautifully rendered the following song, which was written and dedicated to the lodge by Prof. Lewis: REST. BROTHER. REST. Rest, brother, rest, with thy friends around thee; Sad is the thought—thou hast gone to rest. (Baritone solo): The Saviour is calling. The Saviour is calling, We hear the silvery echo; But thou, thou sleepest, Thou hearest no bugle note at dawn, At shadowy twilight hour. Rest, brother rest, down through the night The starlight, softly flowing, mingles in love with the stars that enfold thee; Thou shalt arise from the shadows that imprison. At trumpet call to Life Immortal. Rest, brother, rest, with thy friends around thee; Columbia Lodge thy guard. Thirteen members of this lodge died in 1918. The most solemn event was the rendition of Poet Bryant's "Thanatopsis." During the rendition of this poem the electric lights were out, and Mrs. Jarvis, the organist, rendered very sweetly a funeral dirge. A. J. West, May 18, 1918. George Johnson, September 11, 1918.

Editor Chase's Address. Mr. W. Calvin Chase was introduced and spoke on "The Blunders of Leadership." He said: (Continued on third page.) ‘By ‘the Sage ‘of. ‘the Potomac.

No nation is so great, no government so strong, and no party so wise, that blunders don't destroy their usefulness. Some men are great in their own estimation and useless in a republic in which they exist. A man is great when he is a benefit to his fellowmen or the masses. He who is a nonentity in a community, in an organization, or in a republic, is no good to the body politic. Superficial leadership portrays at a distance a beautiful aspect, and the nearer you get to it, the more useless it becomes. So it JOHN H. HARRIS HARRY L. TIGNOR is with an organization that has false and treacherous leadership in its ranks. The man who does, and can do and has power to draw is a leader in deed and in fact. The inventor of electricity is a benefit to humanity; the man who invented the telephone, wireless telegraphy, is a factor in his country. He is a benefactor to his fellowman. Thousands of men and women have been elected to fill honorable positions, but what benefit have they been? Thousands of hand-picked individuals have occupied positions of honor and trust, and were it left to the constituency of these individuals they would have remained in seclusion. No race of people has been any more misrepresented than we have, and millions of us today are lying in the silent halls of death. We come to an untimely death by overwork in an effort to aspire to a pinnacle that we never reach; we attempt to climb a ladder, while our ambitious enemies are standing at the bottom of it to pull us from the topmost round. Success continues to climb, while failures look up and envy our ambition to advance. The man who succeeds is envied; he travels over thorns like the elk when he is pursued by the hunter. The principles of Elkdom are imbued with love, sympathy and liberality, and behind the screen can be seen the envious and ambitions Elks waiting for his brother Elk to appear and declare himself or attempt to advance his aspirations. Mingled with brotherly love we may find that A. Rev. J. S. CHAPMAN old grim monster, who is always in evidence. This body, Columbia is its name and its number is 85, was organized February, 1906; its present Exalted Ruler was elected in June, 1914. I well remember how he struggled to increase his funds from fifty-one dollars, the amount he had in his treasury, at the time of his election. I well remember that there had been nine or ten Exalted Rulers prior to his election who left an indebtedness of $815 for the present Exalted Ruler to liquidate, with only 186 financial members. Here is where real leadership exerted itself; here is where real leadership demonstrated its power by purchasing a home at a cost of $7,500 with an increased membership of one thousand members and with realty to the amount of $18,200, and with a determination to erect a hall in the coming fall. A real leader is supported by his members; he cannot gain that support unless they are loyal, and the fact that he has succeeded is an evidence of their loyalty and devotion. It has been a mooted question whether it is better to be feared or loved. I will leave it to you to decide that question. Love makes sacrifices; love erects monuments and perpetuates governments; it supports kings' and queens' and maintains them in power; it is the shield against the attacks of the enemy; it is the sword to defend you against the invasions of the enemy; it is a close companion of friendship; it guides the mind and keeps the heart in sympathy with your onward and upward march and strengthens your ambition to reach the diadem; it is a bed-fellow when nature closes your eyes in sleep and awakes when the morning calls you to arise from your slumber. It disregards treachery and banishes false ambition and imbues the heart with the memory of a Damon and Pythias. Tonight, my friends and noble Elks, you have a mission to fill; that mission cannot be filled by the blunders of false leadership. He who builds and prepares a house for the aged in your organization will not be rewarded here; but in after ages your eyes will open, and you will say in, words sublime, Edward G. Bundy was a man, and in one of the chambers of death let his epitaph be written in words worthy of the deeds done by him in life. Banish false ambition, disregard treacherous leadership, and say as Mark Antony said of one of his patriots. "He was the noblest Roman of them all." The success of the present Exalted Ruler of Columbia. Lodge 85 is due principally to the loyalty and devotion of the one thousand members, and with a united front of the entire membership what a monument could be erected, and the widows and widowless of the organization would have a resting place during life. In life and while health and strength were in the superlative degree, preparations were made to (Continued on sixth page.) DO NOT BE LEFT BEHIND.

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.

The Bee has been charged by some that it acted in bad faith in not publishing all the names of persons connected with the Moens case, that disgraced the fair names of a few, of the social lights of the colored society in this city. The Bee published the names of those who testified for the government, as well as for the defense. It is true that there were others, whose nude forms were exposed, who did not testify, because they were neither called by the government nor the defense. The Bee tried to be fair by publishing as correctly as possible what really transpired in court. If the people are not satisfied with the publications made by The Bee, they have their remedy. If there are parents whose daughters entered Moens' trap and were caught, send their names to The Bee, and they will be published. If there are men whose wives allowed themselves to have their pictures taken in a nude form—and there were several—send their names to The Bee, and they will be published. The Bee is aware that there are many who were trapped and posed for this alleged scientist. Send their names to The Bee. The Bee has in its possession the picture of a little child, aged 14, and from her statement to The Bee she was virtually kidnapped and forced to submit to having her picture taken in a nude form. The case will be presented to the government for investigation by The Bee. The schools, as well as many citizens, have been placed in an embarrassed position. The Bee will not at this time state why those higher up were protected and others forced to testify. No woman is so great who falls to the level of a common woman. The government is lenient and charitable. When supposed intelligent women allow themselves to become the dupes of a malicious, petty and fake doctrine, they should be made to suffer the consequences. Suppose the dupes upon whom Moens practiced had two-thirds white blood, what benefit would it be to them? Suppose they had four-fifths white blood, some of them would be mongrels just the same. The great trouble with some colored people is, they make an effort to get away from their own race. They discriminate among themselves. They segregate themselves when they enter certain public conveyances, where the "jim-crow" law doesn't prevail. These social disturbances never prevail except within this mongrel class. They have caused the finger of suspicion to be pointed to many innocent women. THE PEOPLE. citizens of Washington have been imposed upon us at last arrived when they must act.

The public schools of this city have been a bone of contention for a number of years, simply because the wrong class of men and women have been appointed on the Board of Education. A few days ago a member of the Board of Education is reported as having said that there was no evidence against the teacher who had resigned; that the people were excited, and this excitement would fade away in a few days. Let us see whether the people are excited and a mob is asking for reforms in our public schools. This fight will not end until every offender against public morals is removed from our society. A circular letter is being circulated by an upstart, to the effect that he has heard from the Department of Justice. This department made no such statement as this individual has circulated. Citizens in the West End Believe Him the Right Man—Dr. E. F. Harris, Secretary of Druggists' Association, Managing the Campaign—First Druggist Mentioned for the Board of Education. Dr. Walter C. Simmons; the druggist located at 21st and L streets, is now mentioned for the Board of Education. From all angles Dr. Simmons would make an excellent member, and being a product of our public schools, together with having been here and in business all of the time, fits him to understand the conditions under which he would have to serve and where to locate the spots needing overhauling in our school system. Dr. Simmons was for two seasons president of the Colored Druggists' Association, was master of the Widow's Son Lodge No. 7, F. A. A. M., during the past year, and has conducted his own drug store in this city for the past eleventyears.

Harris, who is managing the campaign for Dr. Simmons, stated today that it was time for the druggists in this city to be given a voice in some of the local affairs. They are taxed more than any other business and have less representation. A petition will soon be presented to the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, signed by hundreds of citizens, in Dr. Simmons' behalf, and every move necessary, to place him on the board will be made. The board is in need of a man at this time of Dr. Simmons' type. Camp Meade, Md.-The Midway Hostess House at Camp Meade has contributed much to the comfort of our boys lately returned from oversea duty. The national board of the Y. W. C.

Moore, of Nashville, Tenn; cashier and business director, Miss Irene Johnson, recently of the --- --- Howard University; information secretary, Mrs. A. R. Dickinson, of Washington, D. C.; and Mrs. Nellie Childs Clarke, of Little Rock, Ark., trainee for cafeteria director. These ladies bring to their work special fitness for the positions to which they have been assigned. It is hoped that the citizens of Washington will not fall behind those of other cities near camps in showing their appreciation for the splendid work being done at Camp Meade. The ladies in charge will be delighted to have their friends and well-wishers visit the Hostess House at any time.

A few weeks ago the depot engineer at Norfolk, Va., asked the Civil Service Commission to send a $1,600 caliber stenographer. They sent Mr. Robert Queen, of the Indian Office, a native of Washington, who got there before his photo arrived. After considerable delay Mr. Queen was put to work. This young man is secretary of Frelinghuysen University and dean of the Commercial Department, a graduate of Howard Law School, and took a post course in John M. Langston. He was recently admitted to the Washington bar and is planning to take up the practice of his profession in the early fall at Trenton, N. J., where he is a legal resident. NEWS NOTES Six million farmers of the United States have formed a union. *** The three greatest constitutional lawyers of the United States are Senator P. C. Knox of Pennsylvania, former Senator J. W. Bailey of Texas and former Senator John Spooner of Wisconsin. These three passed upon all legal matters in Congress for twenty years. *** One hundred and fifty days since the armistice was signed and no solution to the problems. Senator Hiram Johnson of California says it is time for America to awake. The President in Paris; the Secretary of State ditto; the Secretary of the Navy in Italy; the Secretary of War on his way to Europe, and the heads of various departments, east, west, north and south—and to top it off, various complex problems coming off in the United States. * * * Six hundred Capitol jobs will go to the Republicans at the Capitol—so everybody get in line. * * * The colored farmers of Prince George County, Maryland, have organized the Colored Farmers' Conference and Agricultural Fair Association, to better conditions of colored people on the farms, in the home and at school. More than $3,000 of the $10,000 fund for free Ireland has been raised in the District of Columbia. It would be a good plan if the colored people in the United States would raise a fund for one object—to fight all laws in the United States that conflict with the Constitution so far as their rights are concerned as citizens. Then we would be getting down to business. Relative to the domestic problems of the District of Columbia, when people who hire servants learn to treat them like they were human the problem will be solved; but when a person is expected to do from one to four people's work, and long hours to top off, you can always look for a kick. This we find is the universal cause of complaint by persons hired out in service in the District. * * * Relative to conditions in the southwest section, we find that there are some very respectable people in the southwest, both white and colored. Relative to the bootleggers, we find that a good many of the nice people of other sections visit the southwest to enjoy themselves. There is a disposition on the part of landlords to raise rents on tenants in the District of Columbia—notwithstanding that the Saulsbury law is still in force. Miss Ida A. McDowell, the house guest of Miss Marion Proctor, of 434 First, street southeast, has been called to Pocomoke City, Md., on account of the illness of her mother.

WYCHE. The man of real human interest, Prof. Wyche, is an orator and a scholar, and he has devoted much of A. B. his time to the study of his race in its weak condition. Prof. Wyche finds himself busy daily helping his people in many good walks of life. He is a high churchman and a real society man, and is very influential outside of the city. TREBLE CLUB. An event of great interest was the musicale given April 8 at the Minor Normal School by the Treble Club, under the auspices of the community association. This club is one that was organized by the late Mrs. A. F. Hillyer. It has for its aim the study of classical music. This year it has devoted its energy to colored composers and music. The program rendered shows taste and skill. Numbers were contributed by the following ladies: Mesdames, Fannie Duglas, Wells, and Mrs. Goins was accompanist; Misses Lucy Moten, Marie C. James. The piano and vocal selections were well interpreted by these ladies. Miss Lucy Moten rendered the ballad in A. flat, by Chopin, in an exceedingly delicate and sympathetic style. Her phrasing was exquisite. Miss James rendered Margaret at the Spinning Wheel, by Schubert, in her usual artistic style. The concert was one that reflected creditably each lady who assisted—helpers to make the evening art enjoyable one to all music lovers. It is to be hoped the Treble Club will appear more often before the public. A BENCH RALLY AT SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH. Corner Duke and West Streets, Alexandria, Va., Fourth Sunday Night, April 27, 1919.

HALLS HILL, VA. The first quarterly conference of this charge was held in Calloway M. E. Church, which includes Langley and Halls Hill. The session was a very harmonious one and concluded with an address by Rev. Dr. Braddock, district superintendent of Alexandria district, presiding, and a splendid collation prepared by the young ladies of the church. Each church was well represented, with good reports. Rev. T. M. Austin returned for another year, greatly to the pleasure of the members. Sunday morning District Superintendent Dr. Braddock preached a wonderful sermon; subject, "The Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem." This being Palm Sunday, it was also communion day at this church. It added to its solemnity to have this God-sent man to assist in this service. Several persons were present from Washington, among whom were Miss Laura Capenhardt, Mrs. Pauline Eggleston, and several others. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Hyson had for their dinner guest Mr. Maurice Koonce: Mr. Murdock and Mr. L. H. Ferguson; also Mr. J. T. Lewter, recently returned from a tour through the states, making observations. The Epworth League was presided over by Mrs. Dorothy Jones, second vice president. A very well-rendered program was given. Several men in uniform were present during the day. The Sunday School will hold its Easter, service Sunday night. Mrs. Carrie Carrington, superintendent; Mrs. Viola Bolden, organist. Mt.

C. P. HAS LIVELY MEETING The District of Columbia Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had a lively session on last Wednesday evening, the 8th. Reports were heard from a number of committees, but the one which crowd came to hear was the report of the Legal Committee, on the Moen's Case. Mr. Cobb, chairman of the committee, declared that much misinformation and many false stories were afoot concerning this case. He said that he had been able to discover but eight nude pictures; not a single one being that of a teacher Further, he declared that only one teacher was, involved in the case, although the names of many were mentioned in current gossip This teacher has subsequently resigned. In view of this report, the branch laid on the table a resolution that many thought would have reflected on the great bldy of teachers, when as a matter of fact, only one was involved. Should later developments show that others were involved, this resolution will be taken off the table and the case re-opened. THOMAS L. JONES, Attorney.

WOOD, Proprietor April 6, 1882.—Nothing bad can honestly be said about you, though you have a very bad, fiery temper; yet you get over it very quickly, and yet are all right again. You are a great worker, and you want to do things right and good, though only one thing at a time; but that must be done well. You are fit for a better position in life. Some people would like to see you in bad luck, but they will be disappointed, for the stars indicate much improved conditions for you and a better and more successful life ahead of you. I am glad to hear that you are interested in our readings. I assure you it indicates you are up to date and broad-minded. I wish I had space to tell you some wonderful things, but if The Bee keeps on growing as it has in the last months, we will be compelled to give more space to the readings. I have many very interesting letters from readers, SUN MARS MERCURY VENUS JUPITER SATURN URAKUSO = telling me that they are highly pleased with the tests. June 23, 1873.—You are restless, and your affairs are very unsettled You will travel a great deal. You love to appear always at your best: If you cannot buy good jewelry, the cheaper grades you will procure so as to make a good impression upon people. You are fond of good clothes, good food, good friends and a good time. You are very impressionable and led by your feelings. You are kind and loving and demand a great deal from others. You love music and the fine arts. You are gifted, but your talents require proper development, and your life will be a better one. You aim to accomplish a great deal, but you have too many drawbacks in life. There is really nothing evil ahead of you, though you often fear the future. Guard against some very mean people, otherwise this is a very good year for travel, changes, better luck are for you, so be of good cheer. Nov. 2. 1868.—Your conditions are not clear nor good, though your life is a good one. You are doing good to others, and good will come back to you. Yet you had many troubles, troubles made for you by others. But it will not always be that way, dear brother in God. Those who are trying to hold you back and cause you trouble will be punished by our Master. Safeguard your health. Be careful in your business and profession. Luck at times may be against you, but God is for you, and you have a better life. I cannot give the details of your life, but it seems the more you try to improve your life, the more troubles are growing in your path. It is the way God has of trying you, and if you are worthy, great success and much happiness will be allowed to come to you. So dear brother, look not back nor down, and all will be well in the future for you. March 21, 1884.—You, too, are marked by God for trials and tribulations, but have patience and as you are found worthy the most wonderful changes and advancements are ahead of you. Your heart is for God and the good people, and while you are trying to serve both some evil people are hard at work to undermine your good work. Will they succeed? Well, it seems at times partly, but eventually good and plenty comes to you, and your life takes on the good influences from above, and no evil man or woman can break you up. You have many annoyances, especially caused by women, but the outlook for the coming years is good. Your location is not the best, and when you make a change from where you are, you will gradually drift into a larger and better field, though at the outset there will be troubles and perplexities, but only of short duration. October 19. 1902.—You are forceful in your ways. You will have many ideas at the same time, and often they will sizzle in your head, and you will get mixed up. You have a good mind and a keen eye and should receive a good, practical training. You make a good secret service man, a good printer and newspaper man. You are very affectionate and crave much for the society of young girls. Avoid the making of too many changes. Carve out a career for yourself and stick to your original plan, so as to make the most of your life. You want to rise in life and make a fortune; be consistent, attentive, persevering and have patience, don't forget to pray and pray very hard, and you will have a most successful life. You will not be happy very long in love or marriage. Dec. 27.—People do not understand you at first, and they do not like you very well; but as soon as they have some close dealings with you, and have a better knowledge of you they grow to like and even love you, because you are like gold—one has to dig very deep for the treasure. That is why you often feel yourself forsaken and misunderstood. You act with dignity and self-esteem, and you will not stoop to anything low or mean; you want to uplift and help others; you love home and comforts, and you make a man a good, true, helpful wife. You will soon have prospects of marriage. You are loved and admired. Though you have been imposed upon and trifled with, yet you have a brighter future and will settle down to a happy and comfortable life. You have escaped death, and there is danger of accidents, burns, cuts, sickness and misfortunes, but God will surely protect you and save you from everything very serious, so pray for protection and guidance for upliftment and for light, and the evil will be conquered. March 22.—You are able to do a variety of things. You live too much an inward life. Show more the true person you are, and people will make more of you. Some people think and say you are evil; I say you are not evil, you simply fail to express yourself as you should. You will have several offers; be careful of your choice. You are loving, and once a friend always a friend, but you have not always received fair and honest deals from so-called friends. You have some unpleasantness ahead of you, but life will not be unfortunate as a whole. August 16. You are frank and outspoken, ambitious and determined, kind and good hearted, but quick and often too sensitive. Control your feelings and avoid looking too much on the darker side of life, as it will also cause you to be melancholy and suspicious. Many troubles are for you, but they do not all belong to you, as indicated by the stars; some you bring onto yourself through the law of attraction, others are caused by the errors in life, but you can overcome many of them by living the higher life and atuning yourself with the Master. Luck and life will be very changeable for you. Pluck out the weeds from your life garden and cultivate the pretty spots, and improvement will be on the way. April 7.—You have a great deal of initiative and character; also a determination to succeed and get on in life. You are pushing and energetic, and have no "use" for those persons who are content to sit back and let others get ahead of them. You desire money for what money brings; you are not a miser; you will help those in need, but you hate to help lazy people. You are very determined and must have your own way, and if people will let you alone, you will do right by them. Your life was a very trying one, but I see you coming out all right. Many try to interfere with you, but a High Power is shielding and protecting you, and you can safely hope for a better and more successful life. Take good care of your health, particularly of the stomach, head and blood. You will be many times near death, but you are here for a long life, and nothing can kill you, so do not fear anything. One of the great kicks in the League of Nationst has been the Japs—simply because they are of the dark skin. "This color business in due time will cause one of the greatest wars ever known.

Address ... Late ..... M29-40 WELCOME You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands 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 pomade; 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 Quonasoap, 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.

Alexander Dennis, one of the most highly respected citizens of Anne Arundel County and a member of the Washington Conference, died at his residence at Eastport, Friday, April 11, 1919, at 9:25 a.m. Rev. Dennis was born in Anne Arundel County February 16, 1834. He joined the Washington Conference in 1872, and at the time of his death was the oldest member of the conference and also the oldest in point of service. A touching incident at the recent session of the conference was the beautiful tribute paid to him by his district superintendent, Rev. C. G. Cummings, on the completion of his year's work, covering every detail of the church activities. It is a matter of satisfaction to our trade to buy fine grade stock We can show slightly used suits at During his ministerial life he has served, with credit to himself and his race, the following charges: Howard County, Davidsonville, Patapsco, Sandy Spring, Cumberland, Mt. Zion in Washington, Annapolis, Ebenezer in Washington, Centennial in Baltimore, and Eastport. So signally successful was he as a pastor that after the lapse of years he was again returned to several of these churches. At no place did he do more effective work than at Eastport, his last charge, which he served ten years. and we can also show mens suits, some very large size for the big man that know what good grub is, yes the sizes are up to 50 and over PRICED $15 AND UP The funeral was held on Tuesday, April 15. The body lay in state at Eastport M. E. Church from 10 a. m. to 7:30 p. m. Services were held at Asbury M. E. Church, Annapolis, at 2 p. m. Interment was in the family lot in Brewer Hill Cemetery. ELKS AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH. St. Paul's Church, in Southwest Washington, was crowded to its utmost capacity with friends of the Elks last Sunday evening to witness the memorial services of Morning Star Lodge and the Ladies' Temple. Morning Star Elks to the number of 330 turned out, under the leadership of their exalted ruler, Mr. Alexander Taylor, and about 100 members of the lady Elks were present. JUSTH'S OLD STAND 619 D The Elks' brass band played several sacred selections, and the St. Paul Choir of fifty voices rendered many plantation melodies. During that time a collection of $101.73 was collected, which was divided between the pastor, choir and sexton. VISIT FREDERICK SCHOOL. Frederick, Md., April 14.-Lewis T. Joyner and R. DeReef Miller, of Washington, were among the visitors to the closing exercises of the South Bentz Street School here tonight; also Miss Mary Helen Evans, of Pennsylvania, who is teaching in a nearby town. The pupils recited many interesting recitations of prose and poetry. The harmony of the school songs made a timely showing for Bentz Street, which is among the oldest schools of Maryland.
