A Riot Is Almost Created A TEXAN IN WAR RISK BUREAU ASSAULTS A COLORED FEMALE Brother Forces Him to Apologize. The Event Almost Precipitates a Riot. VOL. XL. NO. 7 A Ri A TEXAN IN WAR ASSAULTS A Brother Forces Him Event Almost Pre One day last week Miss Meta Turpin, a clerk in the War Risk Bureau was insulted. The incident occurred on Wednesday, July 9, by one of the reviewers in the building. The entire male messenger force took up this case, which ultimately reached the director. Miss Turpin's brother, who had been informed of the insult offered her by this reviewer, called and had an interview with him and after a few preliminaries, he stood up in the presence of the entire office force and apologized for the insult he had offered this colored war worker. Had it not been for the levelheadedness of those who had been overseas and their united action in protecting the young lady, there would have been a race riot. It was just averted. A CHURCH'S SUCCESS. The Metropolitan Baptist Church When It Was Organized—Rev. Henry Bailey, the First Pastor—Rev. Robert Johnson, Pastor for Thirty Years, Succeeded by the Great Norman—Liquidates Indebtedness of Over $28,000—How the Church Has Succeeded Under Dr. Norman—Great Work of the Officers and Members. The Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets northwest, was organized as the Fourth Baptist Church in 1864 and subsequently, the name was changed to the Metropolitan Baptist Church, which is now its corporate name. It is one of the largest, if not the largest, church building in the city. The church, during its fifty-five REV. M. W. D. NORMAN, The Greatest Pulpit Orator in the United States and a Man of the People—President of the 'Baptist Ministers' Conference. years of existence, has had three, pastors, namely, Rev. Henry Bailey, by whom the church was organized May 20, 1864; Rev. Robert Johnson, D. D., who served for more than thirty consecutive years, during which time the present spacious meeting house was erected; and its present pastor, Rev. M. W. D. Norman, who was installed April 10, 1905, under whose administration the church has made exceptional progress. All departmentmts are in excellent condition, and the spiritual tide is running high. The officers: Deacons — George Smith, chairman; Walter H. Mitchell, George Davis, John Holmes, Lawrence E. Murray, Alonzo Williams, Henry Carpenter, Robert Chandler and Jerry Strather; trustees—W. H. Mitchell, chairman; Martin V. Mitchell and Marcellus Davis, are extraordinary men, whose integrity and worth can not be easily excelled. No church can fail with such God-fearing men at the helm; and the entire membership is active and spiritual as well as sacrificial and loyal, their highest aim being the glory of --- God. When the present pastor was installed fourteen years ago the bonded indebtedness was $17,139.76 and the floating debt $4,175, making a total of $21,314.76. The interest accruing on the bonded indebtedness to date of liquidation was $7,100.49, making $28,415.25, which amount the members having a mind to work duly paid within thirteen years, and the mortgage was publicly burned on May 20, 1918, with appropriate exercises. Besides paying off all standing indebtedness, extensive repairs were made, at a cost of $5,383.91, which was also paid. The following clubs have twice a year made large contributions to the church, thus enabling the officers to pay all obligations, and they deserve, therefore, the highest commendation: Metropolitan, Deacon George Smith, president; The Metropolitan Relief, Mrs. Barina Williams, president; Johnson Memorial, Charles Dishman, president; Friendship, Deacon Robert Chandler, president; Alpha and Omega, J. W. Marshall, president; Vigilant, R. R. Burnett, president; The Ideal Working, Deacon Lawrence Murray, president; Earnest Working, Ellen Bagby, president; and The Helping Hand, Pastor Norman, president. The policy of the church has been to depend upon voluntary contributions of the membership rather than forced, and the results have always been most gratifying. After burning the mortgage, a little better than a year ago, we undertook the gathering of funds to renovate and beautify our meeting house, and the good Lord has abundantly blessed us. Having completed repairs and the installation of pews and other furniture, and cathedral windows in serial of our Saviour, the reopening exercises were held a few Sundays ago. The improvements cost $10,749.65, all of which has been paid, and the church is, now free of any incumbrance. We are planning to do more uplift work and thus fulfill an urgent need. We thank sincerely the members and friends for their loyal support and invite their future cooperation and sympathy. RELIGIOUS EDITOR. Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins, D. D., has been added to the editorial staff of The Bee as religious editor. Dr. Lamkins needs no introduction to the public. He is a prolific and descriptive writer of known ability. I. C. MANNING. Mr. J. C. Manning will speak at the Metropolitan Church, M street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets northwest, Monday evening, July 28. Let everybody be present. JOHN W. LEWIS, President of the Whitelaw Apartment Hotel. The Man of the Hour. A Monument to the Colored Citizens. The Conception and Work of One Man—What Has Been Accomplished by One Whose Opportunities Have Been Impeded—The Failure of Those Who Have Been Encouraged—A Graveyard of Failure Until the Lowly Came Upon the Scene—The Progress of John W. Lewis, the Man of the Hour—His Influence on the Nation. For years, indeed, ever since the emancipation of slaves in the District of Columbia, the people have been confronted with, interested in and have subscribed to all kinds of enterprises to improve their condition. There have been men and women from the so-called cultured classes, who have inaugurated schemes, organized corporations, department stores, banks and building associations which have gone down to destruction never to return. Thousands of dollars of the colored people's money have been embezzled, squandered and misappropriated, and why they have not lost confidence in their own representatives is a mystery, and it is a surprise to know how a man who springs up in a community from a hod carrier soil so establish himself in the confidence of the people, especially when every enterprise that has heretofore been established failed and today the people are suffering from a nervous shock. The question is, How was it shock. The fact is that all other enterprises that have been established had at their head men of influence, men of money, men of education and culture? The argument has been made and predictions circulated, that no medioean, and a hodcarrier at that, could establish a bank and build a hotel. The first venture of John W. Lewis was the organization of the Laborers', Mechanics' and Realty Company, which was supported by hod carriers. The cultured class could not see the force of such an enterprise. The writer is of the opinion that he organized a building association first, then it was turned into a realty company. One building association, with the cultured and moneyed class at the head, had already failed, but, notwithstanding, this new enterprise, under a new head and different character, on the mediocre order, succeeded. After being successful with this new enterprise and the people's money was being carefully invested, it become rumored that this hod carrier was going to organize a bank. Well, the laugh and giggles became great and numerous, but the rising young Napoleon and revolutionizer in business only smiled and said, "I am going to start a bank." His close friends laughed and ridiculed the idea. Just think of the number of banks that had failed and the people's money that has been squandered! It was but a few months after this declaration that bank stocks were being sold. But before stocks were circulated, he approached several colored cultured gentlemen and offered bank stock for sale. They promised to purchase, and that was all. This class generally promises, and that is all. Enterprise Starts. The bank materialized. Stocks were put upon the market, and each year they increased in value. Today the Industrial Savings Bank, at the northwest corner of Eleventh and U streets, is a factor in the market of finance. An ex-barber, but an educated young man, is the cashier—Mr. Wm. A. Brown—and Miss Effie M. Middleton, a native Washingtonian, is the assistant cashier. Both the cashier and his assistant know the business. The bank officials have been highly complimented by the government on their efficiency and the manner in which the business of the bank is managed. If you have no money in this bank, it is impos- WHITE AW APARTMENT HOTEL Tampa 13. Granger NW. Washington DC. WHITE AW APARTMENT HOUSE G. INC. OWNER Dear W. Lewin, End. President. JOHN W. LEWIS, President sible to draw out other depositors' money. Both the realty company and the bank are now paying handsome dividends. The Colored Hotel. Now, the writer comes to the climax, which startled all Washington. The little Napoleon's next declaration, a few months ago, was, "I am going to build a hotel." While it was a surprise, the question was, Where will he get the money? "Oh," the little Napoleon said, "I am going to get it from the people—and the colored people, at that." He organized what is known as the Whitelaw Apartment House Company, with John W. Lewis, president; Wm. H. Robinson, secretary; Laurence E. Murray, treasurer; directors—Wm. D. Nixon, A. V. Thornton, Laurence E. Murray, L. H. Fisher, Richard Johnson, Wm. H. Robinson, C. A. Lee, John W. Lewis. This company has a capital of $50,000. None of the ex-failures appear on the list of officers. The men at the head represent the people who will pay and have paid. The speakers who presented the merits of this new enterprise to the people were men who could read the people. The building is up, and it is almost complete; and in August the hotel which was erected at a cost of over one hundred thousand dollars will be opened to the public. It will be an imposing opening. It is one of the most complete hotels in the United States—an up-to-date institution. It is a hotel that the Capital of the Nation will support and of which the people are proud. Go through this great hotel and see for yourselves. Every apartment has a separate bath and telephone service. The hotel service will be up to date. The Bee will give a full and complete description of this great hotel as it was planned by Isaiah T. Hatton, one of the most successful architects in the United States. He is a product of the Washington schools. His work is beyond criticism. J. C. Reeder is the head carpenter, and, indeed, every workman is colored; and to John W. Lewis the people are indebted. The Whitelaw Apartment Hotel will be opened August 1. It is the first hotel apartment of its size built for the exclusive use of colored people in this country. The general treatment of the architecture is Italian Renaissance. The street facade is gray velour tapestry, with Indiana limestone adornments. The site occupied by the building has a width of 153 feet 9 inches on Thirteenth street and a length of 168 WHITELAW APARTMENT-HOTEL (Incorporated) 13th and T Sts. N. W., Washington, D. C. Now Being Constructed feet on T street. It is located in a very prominent section of Washington city and will therefore be an interesting object from both sides. Its very unusual design is the logical consequence of its location and importance and can be fairly considered a triumph for the architect, who has designed an edifice that will be striking without undue ostentation or expense. It will be festive in character without descending to frivolity. The building will be of fire-proof construction, the structural frame being of reinforced concrete, the floors girderless, the whole a combination of concrete, steel and tile. The carriage entrance on Thirteenth street will give access to a large entrance lobby or foyer of octagon shape, whence access can be had to the general lounging room, containing the office. The main dining room, capable of seating one hundred guests, the ladies' parlor, manicuring parlor, billiard room, barber shop, etc., also will be accessible from the lobby. It is intended that these public rooms be sumptuously decorated. The floors of the parlors and lofting rooms are to be of veined Vermont marble laid in squares with inlays of gray Knoxville and Vermont verde antique mark. The floor of the main dining room will be quartered oak parquet, the better to adapt this room to be used to accommodate exclusive social functions, such as banquets, etc. The walls are to be plastered in a cream tone, the ceilings white. The caps of the columns will be guilded. One of the features of the main public rooms will be the lighting arrangements. All lighting in these rooms will be indirect, through art-glass ceiling panels; no lighting fixtures will be in evidence. A unique feature of this building will be the "grotto"—a restaurant room designed principally, for small supper parties—to be located in the basement, which can be reached from the lounging room. The entrance on T street, which will give access to the large entrance lobby and promenade, will connect with the clerk's office and also give access to the most of the other public rooms and to the two stairways leading to the upper floors. From this promenade, elevators will give access to the other four floors. The typical upper floor will show two wings of equal length, projecting to the west, so that the greatest possible number of rooms may enjoy outside air. These floors—that is, the second, third and fourth floors—will contain two five-room-and-bath apartments, four four-room-and-bath apartments and one three-room-and-bath apartment, as well as seven hotel rooms for transients. Practically all these hotel rooms are to have adjoining, baths, of course; while a few will be arranged to form a special suite for the accommodation of guests of special importance. All these rooms are to be provided with sanitary wash basins, equipped for hot and cold water. These hotel rooms will occupy the T street wing of the building on the three upper floors, giving a total of twenty-one hotel rooms. Nothing will be spared, so far as mechanical equipment is concerned, to make the twenty-seven family apartments thoroughly modern, comfortable and up to date in every respect. Vitreous china and porcelain enamel plumbing fixtures are to be used throughout. All bath rooms are to be tiled. All garbage will be conveyed automatically by chutes to a garbage consumer in the basement. Every hot-water spigot in the building will be assured of a constant supply night and day from a 1,500-gallon hot-water apparatus in the basement; and heat will be guaranteed from a properly designed steam-heating plant. The building will be lighted with electric lights throughout. To the wise investor, the stock of the Whitelaw Apartment Hotel insures him an annuity when "old Father Time" has commenced to collect toll. The building of this hotel apartment marks a new era in the history of the Negro race. It will be the largest and safest institution owned and operated by colored men who have proven their honesty. Stock is being sold on such terms as will enable those with small incomes to participate in completing the structure, which will be a mammoth monument to the Negro's thrift and energy and also a part of organized effort to better conditions as to the housing problem for colored people. Shares, $12, in blocks of five ten or twenty, can be purchased by paying $12 cash and $5 per month. AMPHIONS AT ATLANTIC CITY The Amphion Glee Club, assisted by Mme. Emma Lee Williams, elocutionist, will have a recital in connection with the annual convention of the Elks, which will be held at Atlantic City, N. J.; August 25 to 28. The Amphions are preparing a fine program for this occasion, and among other selections there is one number dedicated to the Order of Elks. Let The Bee follow you. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS.

He handed ‘it over to me, and I have come td the conclusion that it would be more agreeable if I should hand it’over to the source to which it was directed. My policy is, if you wish to correct an evil, go direct to the source. If people are not civilized, the manager of How- ard Theatre cannot remedy the evil. Is it not best and would it not' be better taste if we have a grievance to go direct’ to them and point them out? A person may be at the head of a theatre,and some noisy. and’ un- cultured individtal, may frequent that theatre’ and make himself obnoxious to the audience... Should the, man-| ager be blamed? Is the manager of any institution. responsible for the conduct of those who patronize it? Should I be held responsible: for’ the, disorderly conduct ‘of those whose environments havé been of a dis- orderly, character? I think it would be better to go to the source and say that certain irregularities exist in your: theatres, of certain disorder ly elements patronize your -institu- tion; -is there no way to get rid’ of them? Some of the most noisy cle- ments come from Howard ° Univer- ‘sity. ‘his noisy element is among the young students, who have enteted the institution to- improve their niinds the institution to improve their ntinds, it tends to destroy their character and reputation.

Nevertheléss. the Arabs, Egyptians, Jews and wise Gentiles were very familiar with. the wonders of herbology. We find men- tioned in the Bible the familiar spine- nard, wotmwood, rue, calamus, cori- ander, nettle, St Johns, aloe; salt- worth, madder, bitter herbs, cassia, cockle root, balm of Gilead, bede- lium, algum, aquatic roots, incense roots, star root, bilrush, glasswort, galroot, henna, flax, juniper, man- drake, myrtle and many other heip- ing roots, plants, flowers and herbs, ‘which shows that God intended we should get well and keep * well through the use of the God-sent rem- edies. “He has created herbs and roots for the service ‘of man.” In- cense i8.’mentioned many times in the Bible, The wise men brought gifts to the infant Jesus—gold, myrrh and. frankincense. In tlese the an- cient fathers thought: they perceived tributes. to” Christ—as a king,. the tribute of gold; for his future death, the myrrh; as ‘a: God, the. frankin- cense. The making of incense. was assigned to sacred persons only; the secret was guarded by the few and handed down from family’ to family; the use of incense’ was considered a sacred act.

In Ara- bia and Ethiopia there were: balsam- odendron trees that furnished “one of the main ‘sacred ingredients for” the making of incense, ani in, fater years the trees were transplanted to Africa, India, South America and other parts of. the world, and thus, through’ the will of God the sacred article of faith was’ saved’ from extinction, In: the niaking of my wonderful incense: I with great difficulty procure that .sa- cred article, which is so important in thé making of the helping incense, from distant foreign’ countries.” In olden times the incense was used as a sacred religious act in requesting favors from God.and to fift up the mitid and heart as the smoke ascends in thanking for favors and benefits received. Plants sometimes. distill or, secrete ‘medicinal or’ nutritive. fluids.| which are contained’ in, convenient receptacles. “Such plants invariably grow far from the, haunts: of man, away from the course of streams. or the vicinity of poate Whose ordi- nation is it that’ such plants have such habitude?

In speaking of the colored service man’s‘ insurance, Lieut. Wil- Tiams said: “Discharged ‘soldiers and. sailors ‘of my race are taking advantage of the new and fiberal reinstatement provi- sion for lapsed war risk policies. Un- ‘der this provision, the soldiers and sailors can reclaim their insurance even after having,made no monthly payments of premiums for nine moaths from the date of discharge. “I am glad that the Negro soldiers ad sailors are ‘appreciating, the true value ‘of Uncle Sam's insurance’ be- cause it is.the lowest cost ‘and safest insurance obtainable. Efforts to edu- cate ‘them to advantages of this in- Suranée have had highly. gratifying results, thanks .to the aid of organi- zations of all kinds interested in wel- fare work among colored soldiers and sailors.” _ .

I have only 10 minutes, reporters idly sit in the halls at the numerous entrances and bureaus of this Government, rendering absolute value whatever to this Nation. If they were white, none criticism, but I mention that they are Negroes, are Negroes. Car out the expensive carpets in the halls, they assist electric fans, reduce the quantity of ice water in the Dish. Here this bill will draw not $90 a month, but $110 a month all will get the $240 bonus. Every one of their jobs, because they are useless jobs, worth nothing, such waste and extravagance should stop, yet they being on the job seven hours a day, six days a month on full pay in each year, enjoying all of the exiled days that we have in the District of Columbia leave on full pay generally allowed. There are hard working in the various departments of this Government put in seven hours, lots of them at night, hired by $110 a month for seven hours' work, six days in the month vacation on full pay every year, and they will be your cooks and charge you $75 or $80 a month to pay that to get one to cook for you part of the week. If you do not pay that you will take your fair do cooking." Now it has come to pass that it is unlawful, laborers, laborers, charwomen and all others who receive an increase in their pay. Blanton, Congress, in a speech a few days ago declared in the several departments do nothing but carpets and assimilate the breeze from the Blanton are not used to good living. He makes for a gentleman to live—even a laborer, the thousands of laborers who live better than in the House should be read with interest, but make a speech 10 per cent better than Blanton wouldn't make a good farmer, because the farmer will do—and that is to live like a colored citizen in Blanton's district, were per would Blanton be? He certainly would not be colored man asks is a chance to breathe, and come to him. THE BEE sympathizes with him. He has one. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY The present Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Gill, first liberal and one of the fairest men in the man, so far as humanity is concerned, who head of the Treasury Department. He is a man has done for Colored Americans who have inability to do. Bismarck Pinchback has gone to Frank Christopher, Frank Demon and Wilson. The same thing is true in other offices. There are twenty years. While there may be some objectionable things, when the right men are in control conditions are other men like Secretary Glass, and is for the administration. Take the recent parade Colored Americans were not segrant Brownlow was the chairman. THE BEE feels grateful to such men. The man in the world than Commissioner Bago a faithful and old employee in the Treasurdundly. She was the sister of Mr. Rich, faithful employee in the Secretary's office, and well-known Secretaries. Secretary Glass is attending the funeral. Let the Colored American look to men and who are the representatives of principles. "Mr. BLANTON. Not right now. I have only 10 minutes. Hundreds of these Negro porters idly sit in the halls at the numerous entrances in the various departments and bureaues of this Government, rendering absolutely no service of any value whatever to this Nation. If they were white men, I would make the same criticism, but I mention that they are Negroes because all of said porters are Negroes. "They wear out the expensive carpets in the halls, they assimilate the breeze from the electric fans, reduce the quantity of ice water in the District of Columbia, and under this bill will draw not $20 a month, but $110 a month for doing nothing, because all will get the $240 bonus. Every one of them ought to be put out of their jobs, because they are useless jobs, worth nothing to this Government, and such waste and extravagance should stop; yet they will get $110 a month for being on the job seven hours a day, six days a week, with one month vacation on full pay in each year, enjoying all of the extra holidays and, special privileged days that we have in the District of Columbia, and the extra 30 days' sick leave on full pay generally allowed. There are hundreds of charwomen working in the various departments of this Government today who are supposed to put in seven hours, lots of them at night, hired by the month, who will receive $110 a month for seven hours' work, six days in the week, and getting their month vacation on full pay every year, and they will come and hire out to you to be your cooks and charge you $75 or $80 a month in addition, and you have to pay that to get one to cook for you part of the time four or five days' each week. If you do not pay that you will take your family to a hotel or do your own cooking." And now it has come to pass that it is unlawful for colored messengers, laborers, charwomen and all others who do laboring work to receive an increase in their pay. Blanton, who is a member of Congress, in a speech a few days ago declared the colored laborers in the several departments do nothing but wear out expensive carpets and assimilate the breeze from the electric fans. Men like Blanton are not used to good living. He does not know what it takes for a gentleman to live—even a laborer—and certainly there are thousands of laborers who live better than Blanton. His remarks in the House should be read with interest, because a schoolboy could make a speech 10 per cent better than Blanton. Blanton wouldn't make a good farmer, because there is one thing a farmer will do—and that is to live like a gentleman. If every colored citizen in Blanton's district were permitted to vote, where would Blanton be? He certainly would not be in Congress. All the colored man asks is a chance to breathe, and everything else will come to him. THE BEE sympathizes with Blanton's servant—if he has one. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. The present Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Glass, is, no doubt, the most liberal and one of the fairest men in the country, and the best man, so far as humanity is concerned, who has ever been at the head of the Treasury Department. He is a man. Just look what he has done for Colored Americans who have demonstrated their ability to do. Bismarck Pinchback has gone up to $1,800, and Frank Christopher, Frank Demon and Wilson Evans to $1,400, and the same thing is true in other offices. There is no more waiting for twenty years. While there may be some objectionable things in this administration, when the right men are in control conditions are different. There are other men like Secretary Glass, and they are making friends for the administration. Take the recent parade on July 4. In that parade Colored Americans were not segregated. Commissioner Brownlow was the chairman. THE BEE feels grateful to such men. There is not a more liberal man in the world than Commissioner Brownlow. A few days ago a faithful and old employee in the Treasury Department died suddenly. She was the sister of Mr. Richard Greer, who is a faithful employee in the Secretary's office, and who has served many well-known Secretaries. Secretary Glass showed his respect by attending the funeral. by attending the University Let the Colored American look to men and not partiesbut men who are the representatives of principles. FEDERATION OF LABOR. The recent order of the American Federation of Labor, of which Mr. Samuel Gompers is president, has done one commendable act and that is in placing colored labor organizations on the same equality with his organization. Such act on the part of this great organization will solidify all organizations of colored Americans in the world. It means that labor is king. It means that the white man will protect colored labor and see that colored laboring men receive fair and just treatment. The recent order of the American Federation of Samuel Gompers is president, has done one co is in placing colored labor organizations on the organization. Such act on the part of this greatly all organizations of colored Americans in the labor is king. It means that the white man and see that colored laboring men receive fair The Bee has always had the most implicit con It knew when the opportunity presented did strike the blow that would give colored labor All the colored man asks is a fair opportunity The Bee has always had the most implicit confidence in Mr. Gompers. It knew when the opportunity presented itself, Mr. Gompers would strike the blow that would give colored labor its rights. would strike the blow that would give All the colored man asks is a fair opportunity to present his cause in equity. THE SOUTH MAD. The South is mad and crazy over the woman's suffrage amendment. A call has been issued to defeat it, because it is thought that its passage will be of benefit to the colored women. Read what the Louisiana State Times says. by the Rev. James L. Pinn, prayer by the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, and sermon and final prayer by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the church. Mrs. Martine Irving rendered a solo, "Face to Face." A solid male delegation of Treasury employees was included in the funeral party, and the men of the Federal Reserve Board were also represented. Treasury employees have heard from Secretary Glass in unmistakable terms, they say. Mr. R. C. Ewing entertained in honor of Dr. Gamble, of Detroit, on Tuesday evening of last week. The Mothers' Council met with Mrs. Otis Wade on Tuesday evening. Dedicatory services were held at the Methodist Church Sunday night in honor of the electric lights, it being the first occasion of their being used. The plant is a success in every way. of A garden party was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Henderson, Wednesday. night, in the interest of the Baptist Church rally. * * * Mrs: Albert Collins and children, Misses Myrtle, Grace and Ada, spent Sunday here with relatives and friends. Mrs. Robinson had spent all of the years of her service in the national bank redemption agency up to July 1, when the Secretary rewarded her faithfulness by promoting her to be matron in the new Treasury annex, adjoining the Riggs National Bank. The floral tributes from the redemption agency bore mute testimony of the esteem in which she was held in that office, and seated not far from Secretary Glass was the gracious Mrs. Harbaugh, of the redemption agency. The funeral services were brief and impressive—a hymn, Scripture lesson FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Miss J. B. Pinn, the industrial teacher for Fairfax County, visited the schoolhouse Friday. The girls of the school assembled, and a girls' summer club was formed. Plans were made to complete the work of the school for the fair to be held in October. Mrs. Gibson Denny entertained her many friends with a porch party at her residence Saturday night. The out-of-town guests included the Misses Alberta, Henrietta and Wanita Shaw, Mr. Trotter and Mr. Irving Lee. Mr. and Mrs. Everett Jones spent the week-end in Atlantic City. *** Mrs. Columbia Scott and Mrs. Lucy Williams, daughters of the late Mrs. Ella Duncan, are spending a few days here preparatory to breaking up their home. To say that the community regrets it is putting it mildly, for it is just such persons who help to make a community what it should be. We all hope some day to find them among us again. *** Mrs. Geo. Simmons has returned to her home, after spending a few days in Washington with her daughter, Mrs. Dave Weaver. Mrs. Rose Ashby and daughter were the guests of her mother, Mrs. Annie Thomas, Sunday. Mrs. Thomas has been confined to her bed with illness for several weeks, her improvement being very slow, if at all. *** Mrs. Nan Miller was a visitor here Monday last. On Sunday, July 27, the twentieth anniversary of the pastor, Rev. G. W. Powell, will be held at the Second Baptist Church. At 11 a. m. the anniversary sermon will be preached by Rev. J. P. Pinkett; of Mt. Pleasant. At 3 p. m. Rev. Bond from Seminary, will speak, and at 8 p. m. Rev. W. R. Manly, assisted by Rev. S. Phillips, will hold forth. The anniversary supper will be served on Wednesday night, July 30. All are invited to meet with us. **** Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Carpenter entertained a few friends at dinner on Sunday. Mrs. Cora Strother and Mr. Samuel Thomas carried a little surprise birthday party to Merrifield, Va., to Mrs. H. M. Oldham, formerly Miss Mayme Bradley. The guests were Mrs. Rosa Hall, Mrs. Harris, Dr. E. E. Bradley and wife, and others from Washington; Mrs. Rebecca Lee, Mrs. Della Lee, Mrs. Lafayette Bradley, Mrs. Deskins, Mrs. Odie Thomas and Mrfl Ayon Lee, Mr. Chester Tinner and others, from Falls Church. DEATH OF MRS. ROBINSON. Secretary of Treasury Carter Glass Attends Funeral at Nineteenth St. Baptist Church. A vast throng of citizens assembled in the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church on last Sunday afternoon to attend the funeral of Mrs. Mollie Robinson, a long-time employee of the Treasury Department and the sister of Mr. Richard Green, personal attendant these many years to Secretaries of the Treasury. Treasury employees, of both high rank and low, were at the church, and a thrill of deep appreciation swept over the church as Hon. Carter Glass, Secretary of the Treasury, entered the church and was escorted to a seat in the center section by Mr. William B. Harris. and if you haven't much cash, he will lend you enough to purchase the home you desire, and if you haven't any money, he will take your Liberty Bonds for the first payment, and then after you buy from him, he will see that you get possession of same.

Foster, who packed his trunk and silently motored to the hills beyond Hillsdale, where he erected himself a beautiful cottage and placed himself, elder child and wife snugly, has come back. It was not long before he was telephoned to close up his dyeing establishment and the Foster home. He lost no time; he didn't change his working clothes; his pulse was 95 in the shade; he outdistanced the sleuths in the eleventh precinct; he didn't take the trouble to stop his car; he jumped out and entered his home, to find that it had been invaded by a 10-pound Jesse H. Foster, Jr., and his faithful wife, with a smile on her face, cordially greeted her only and loving Jesse, Sr. The mother and child are doing well. The Bee extends its congratulations. Mr. Samuel S.

Threatened Storm Fails to Stay Enthusiasm—Parents Speak—No Adjournment of the League—Will Continue Sessions the Entire Summer—City to be Divided Into Blocks—Preparing for the Fall Campaign—Increase in Membership. Notwithstanding the threatened storm last Tuesday evening, hundreds of people responded to the call of the Parents' League. President Tanner presided, and Mrs. Arthur F. Boston acted as secretary. The most novel feature of the meeting was the twenty addresses delivered by the parents, who showed by their remarks that they are determined to continue the fight until something is accomplished. It was decided to divide the entire city of Washington into blocks and each parent who has children in the schools is to be visited. It was also decided to continue the meetings the entire summer, or until something is accomplished; that Congress will be petitioned to act. An address was also made by Judge E. M. Hewlett, who took exception to Dr. Tanner's compliment to Major Pullman, chief of police; that Pullman was not entitled to any consideration from the colored people. J. C. Vaughn Todd also took occasion to pay his compliments to the chief of police. Attorney R. R. Horner also delivered a most timely address, which was loudly applauded. Editor W. Calvin Chase also spoke. There were many well-known and influential ministers seated on the pulpit. Dr. Tanner announced that Hon. J. C. Manning, of New York, would speak to the league next Monday evening, and every man interested was urged to be present. The meeting adjourned until next Tuesday evening, at Metropolitan Church. All members of the league are requested to be present. CLARENCE M. DEVEILE, Real Estate, Loans, Insurance, and Investments, 1014 W Street Northwest. Phone North 1644.

HIS FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Marriage of Rev. Dr. Joseph Matthews, of Washington D.C., and Mrsfl Matthews. By Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins. Rev. Joseph Matthews, D. D., the popular and eloquent pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church, Anacostia, D. C., and the First Baptist Church, Vienna, Va., and Mrs. Matthews, his charming wife, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage at their beautiful home, 918 E street southwest, Washington, D. C., Tuesday evening, July 8, 1919, from 8 to 12 p. m., in the presence of a large congregation. Both Dr. and Mrs. Matthews were elegantly and tastily attired and looked as happy as they could have looked fifty years ago. Their beautiful and historical residence, where they have lived for the past forty years, was illuminated and decorated to the queen's taste. The appearance was delightful to behold. They were the happy recipients of many useful and beautiful presents, as well as a constant stream of congratulations during the evening. They were cheered by the presence of all four of their surviving children, three of whom, Rev. Dr. A. C. Matthews, Elphonzo Matthews and Mrs. Ruth V. Cole, live in Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Samuel D. Matthews is a resident of this city. With the children from Brooklyn were Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Ella Morton: The eight grandchildren were all present to join in doing honor to their grandparents. Short congratulatory speeches were made by Rev. Dr. Wm. James Howard, Rev. Dr. J. I. Loving, Rev. Dr. S. Geriah Lamkins, Rev. J. T. Marshall and Deacon Manning, of the Zion Baptist Church. Deacon Mack McKenzie and Mrs. Lucy Gaddis represented the Bethlehem Baptist Church and the Pastor's Aid. Club, respectively. Mrs. Carrie Summers represented the Ushers' Board. Many letters and telegrams were received from friends of Dr. and Mrs. Matthews who could not be present in person. The great Bethlehem Baptist Church did honor to herself in honoring her beloved pastor. Presents were received from the Berean Baptist Church, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and several other churches out of the city. A collation, which consisted of everything that heart could wish for such an occasion, was served by a large committee of handsome ladies. It was one of the most pleasant occasions that we have ever witnessed. Sunday, July 13, at 8 p. m., a most distinguished congregation assembled to do honor to Dr. Simion P. W. Drew, pastor and founder of the National Cosmopolitan Baptist Institutional Church, on N street, between Ninth and Tenth streets northwest. Congressman Richard T. Morgan of Oklahoma presented to Dr. Drew, in honor of his charitable work for humanity, $1,500 in gold, as a token of the appreciation and esteem in which he is held by the members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Mr. Morgan said he regarded Dr. Drew as "one of the greatest living ministers of the day," and praised his work among the members of his race and for good for all citizens. Congressman M. O. McLaughlin of Nebraska paid a very high tribute to the worth and character of Dr. Drew and presented him with books. Dr. Drew, in a few well-chosen words, accepted the gift and thanked the Members of Congress. The musical program was rendered by the choir of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, of which Mrs. Parker is organist, and Prof. W. H. Brown the director. The following took part: Mrs. Henrietta Attrell, Mr. and Mrs. Parker, Mr. Winforce M. Nalls, Mrs. Bowie, Miss Viola Moten, Mrs. Louisa Gregsby, Miss C. Bowie, Miss Evelyn Bowie, Mrsfl Boswell, Mrs. Bowie and Mrs. Edna Praither. Rev. R. D. Botts was master of ceremonies. Dr. George O. Bullock, pastor of the Third Baptist Church, preached the sermon on the fifteenth anniversary of the church. Dr. S. J. L. Holloman, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, delivered the fifteenth anniversary sermon of the pastor, Dr. Drew. Short addresses were made by Rev. George W. Thomas, secretary of the alliance, and Rev. R. D. Botts. Dr. Drew is a great lover of the old folks. He is chaplain at the Morgue, and as head of the White Cross Free Labor Federation Bureau has given work to possibly 25,000 people in all walks of life in this city and throughout the United States. Dr. Drew was licensed July 10, 1894, and ordained to the gospel ministry October 29, 1896, in New York City. He founded two churches and pastored three, namely, Stephen's Baptist Church, New York City; St. Paul's Baptist Church, Boston, Mass., and the Cosmopolitan Church of this city. He is president of the White Cross Free Labor Bureau and president of the National Evangelistic Ministers' Alliance of America. He is one of the best known evangelists in the United States. Fully 100,000 have been converted, it is said, by his preaching in different sections of this country. Dr. Drew is known by more prominent men than possibly any other colored man in the country. He aided in the election of ex-Presidents McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, and William H. Taft. He is a great favorite of the latter. He defended Mattie Lomax before President Taft and was instrumental in having Mr. Taft change her death sentence to life imprisonment. Citizens gave him a loving cup in 1912. He defended colored soldiers who were killed by Mexicans at Carrizal, and had them buried in Arlington. Citizens gave him another loving cup in 1916. ZION BAPTIST, DEANWOOD. Sunday last was a good day at the Zion Baptist Church. The Sunday School, under the leadership of Superintendent Roulhac, was very largely attended. At 11 a. m. the pastor gave a very instructive sermon on the importance of the Lord's Supper being observed by those who have taken the covenant of the church, and the fatal consequences of breaking the covenant. In brief, he said that the covenant, as it was established by Christ, and the doctrine espoused by the apostles, they being the first stones of the building, with Jesus Christ the chief and foundation stone, was the best philosophy the world has ever known, and if the gospel is preached in its purity, without so much trinning and sugar-coating on the part of the would-be pulpiter and crudite philosopher, it would reach the hearts of men, and they would see that they are sinners and return to Christ. Christ organized all that was necessary to save this world and bring it, ransomed, to Him—that is, the church. You can name every other device, and a game of marbles will do as much. Rev Broadus, the pastor, is a very plain practical preacher and does not preach to get the praise of men, but to save them. The communion service at 3 p. m. was a gospel treat to all. Revs. George White, R. O. G. Hunter and Nichols assisted. At 3 p. m. Rev. J. C. Cunningham preached a strong sermon.

Dancing begins at 7 p.m: Gates open-at 7 p.m. Ad- mission, 25 cents, Columbus, Ohio.—Many thousands of colored women throughout the country are making earnest efforts to convert short, stubby, stubborn hair into long, straight hair, that they may improve their personal appearance. Ought they be censured or commended? Surely, no woman ought to be censured for improving her personal charms, any more than she should be condemned for improving her mind. Once upon a time, in an age of phantasy and a land of myth, a fairy prince is said to have lost his way amid the fastnesses of the forest, and having fallen asleep, was awakened and guided to sunshine and liberty by the glimmering sheen of a wood nymph's flowing tresses. And princes of the blood and others of less degree, throughout all the ages of history and shades and conditions of men, have found sunlight and inspiration in woman's hair. Its potency, attractiveness and coquetry has been recognized since, time has endured. It has been associated with great deeds and noble sacrifices, romance and tragedy. The beauteous Lady Godiva freed the people of Coventry from unjust taxation by riding through the streets draped only in her gorgeous mantle of rippling hair, woman's natural raiment. At times, woman's hair is a mass of gold, with the glamour of noonday entangled within its meshes to dazzle and to charm us; or a Titian shade, like the burnished tint of an afterglow, with here and there a gleam of copper or of bronze, to beguile and bewitch us; or, perhaps, a waving wealth of glorious brown, suggesting the calm of autumn, twilight or a glimpse of "pools in a summer wood." Then again, it is the splendor of midnight, with the inky jet of Stygian darkness mingled with the glint of houri's eyes to bewilder and entice us and lead us on, on, we know not whither. It is the siren's wand—woman's hair! All men know its witchery. Some time ago, in Washington, the question was asked of a number of men prominent in the professional and social life of the National Capital—men of the world and connoisseurs of beauty, every one of them—this question: "Which do you most admire in woman—her eyes, complexion or her hair?" A few were uncertain. Some admitted a bias in fealty to a particular charmer; a few declared for the eyes and the complexion; but the consensus of opinion was in favor of the hair—nearly three-fifths of them. Some devotees of the eyes, after a second thought, shifted their allegiance to the hair. One aptly expressed it—"The eyes attract, but the hair binds us. When we turn to glance after a beautiful woman on the street, it is the memory of the hair that lingers with us." And who among us does not treasure a lock of hair? It may be a snowy tress once belonging to a sainted mother, or a little straggly strand from the waxen brow of a darling baby; it may be a parting keepsake from the lover who never returned, the false or the true; but whether a reminder of those gone before or the ones who make the present a dream, it is a souvenir that no money could buy. Who can measure the subtle magnetism of the hair or describe its imperishable beauty? Some one—a long-gone philosophe who delved into the mysteries of life and death—said: "Should you ever miss the sunlight, go seek it in her hair." Now, then, who can blame the colored woman, whether she is just at the age "when youth and beauty meet," or at the meridian of life, for striving to convert short, stubborn hair into long, straight, pretty locks? It is her. right. her duty to herself and to humanity. Fortunately for our colored women, there is an "Ambrosia way" they can take that leads to a full realization of that old but true saying, "A woman's crowning glory is her hair." Recently a cold, calculating chemist of one of America's greatest universities, bent on seeking the truth, and without fear or favor, made a chemical analysis of so-called "hair straighteners," with which thousands of colored women attempt to coax their short, stubborn hair into long, straight locks. He found in many nothing that was scientifically or medicinally proper; in a few he found but certain elements of efficaciousness. And then, buried in his laboratory amid his chemicals, fluids and chemical accessories, he produced a formula that makes possible the most wonderful achievement in the scientific world for safely, surely and absolutely turning short, stubborn hair into long, straight tresses. Hardly had he achieved his wonderful discovery before Mme. Beckwith, beauty culturist of The Ambrosia Toilet Company, and a colored woman, too, DR. FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER Beautiful Women.

In order to foster clean athletics among the young men and boys of the community and to bring the different sections of the city together in friendly rivalry, the supervisor of the District public playgrounds proposes to establish three baseball leagues: A senior league, B league and a junior league. The success of those leagues will lie largely with the teams themselves. Fast, clean games played off on time and according to schedule will mean enthusiasm and support from the public, while games forfeited either through intention or neglect, will soon cause everyone to lose interest. If the response to the league is what is expected, an effort will be made to secure more and better diamonds for the games. The more teams, the more games; the more games, the better argument for more diamonds, for the most convincing argument for better accommodations is to outgrow the accommodations already available. To this end we invite all teams and players to join and participate in the affair in the leagues; and we solicit the good will of the publis, that it may attend the games, encourage the players and promote the general proposition. The schedule for the senior league began Monday, July 14. The schedules for the other leagues are not yet arranged. At present the plan is to have two games a week for each team, one game on home grounds and the other game on foreign grounds. This is done for the purpose of bringing baseball to as many sections of the city as possible. In the fall it is planned to play a city championship series between the playground league and the other leagues at the American League Baseball Park. It is up to the teams, then, to go to as many grounds as can be secured in order to acquaint the whole city with the class of baseball played by the league teams. Grounds available: Tuesdays and Fridays, Bruce diamond, senior teams; every day, Cardozo, all teams; every day, Howard playgrounds, B and junior teams; every day, Willow Tree; junior teams; every day, Rose Park, all teams. Senior schedule: Monday, Cardozo diamond, Rose Park vs. Willow Tree; Tuesday, Bruce diamond, C. All-Stars vs. H. Cyclones; Wednesday, Rose Park diamond, Rose Park vs. H. Le Droit Tigers; Thursday, Cardozo diamond, Cardozo No. 2 vs. H. Cyclones; Friday, Bruce diamond, H. LeDroit Tigers vs. Willow Tree; Saturday, Cardozo diamond, All-Stars vs. Cardozo-No. 2. Membership: No restriction on senior teams, except that one player cannot be a member of more than one team in the league. B league players to be those not fast enough for senior teams and too large for junior teams; say boys about 18-20. Junior league players must weigh 125 pounds or less, weight to be certified by an official on the playgrounds. A certain number of balls, bats and bases are available for the games. These will be donated to the winners of league championship pennants at the end of the season. The first meeting of the league, each senior team represented by two delegates, was held at the Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday, July 16. THE/FRELINGHUYSEN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION At a meeting of the graduates of the Frelinghuysen University, held in this city on Monday evening last, an Alumni Association was formed, a constitution and by-laws were adopted, and the following-named officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Edmund M.

Ashby Jones, of Atlanta, one of the most eloquent pulpit orators in the South, delivered a stirring address at the Atlanta Theatre which he deplored the sentiment that sustains mob law. He stated that democracy was in peril, whether it be from the acts of persecution that have been reported from Poland or the lynching spirit that sometimes seizes communities in the South. The very foundation of orderly government rests upon obedience to the constituted authorities, and whenever this authority is violated, it is a strike at our social fabric.—Sandersville (Ga.)

THE BAHAI TEACHINGS. Meetings for the study of the Bahai (universal) Teachings will be held in Hall 5, Pythian Building, 1200 U street northwest, Sunday evenings, at 8:30 o'clock. The program for the next four weeks is announced elsewhere in these columns. The subject for July 13 is: "The Economic Question." With a more central location and a larger hall, it is expected that the attendance of those interested will be large. All are welcomed, and questions are invited: The Bahai revelation, which took its rise in Persia in the year 1844, has today spread throughout the world. This great movement for social and spiritual reconstruction was first centered about a radiant youth called the Bab. Many European historians have described the wonderful charm of this pure-hearted hero of progressive religion, who was martyred in 1850, after six years of brilliant teaching. After the Bab's martyrdom, Bahao'lah, a Persian noble, led forward the movement: He announced the dawn of a new age, an age when brotherhood and peace should cover the earth, even as the waters cover the sea. His universal principles, however, were too vast for the limited minds of his contemporaries. He and a little band of followers were driven by the reactionary leaders of Persia into exile and prison; and at last, in 1868, were immured in the desolate barracks of Acca, in Syria. But the persecutions of men can not extinguish the light of God's holy Spirit when it shines from the heart of his great prophets. From this "Most Great Prison" of Acea, Baha' o'lah spread his gospel of universal love throughout western Asia. After his ascension, in 1892, at the end of forty years of exile and imprisonment, his son, Abdul Baha, became his successor. Under the divinely guided leadership of this "Servant of God," the Bahai cause has spread to all lands and all religions.

It has been through the adroit representations of those who dominate in the States of the South that the rest of the country has been caused to accept the imposition that the dominant element in the South and the Southern Democracy means the white South. The Southern Democracy is neither a democracy nor is it the white South. The slave-owning democracy, prior to the Civil War, was an oligarchy, and the minority ruling the South today is but the political progeny of the slave-owning Democracy of the years ago. The repression methods of the former is the source of power of the latter. Overriding the masses of the people, through the tactics of political repression, is the underlying secret of the perpetuity of this compact of those esteeming to call themselves Democrats, but who, in reality, are not now and have never been believers in a real government of, for and by the people. There were no more than 30,000 slave owners in Alabama, but the slave-owning political and social aristocracy then drove everything before the sweep of its power. The political oligarchy then overawed, coerced, intimidated, misled, subjected and cowered the Southern masses, just as the present Southern Democratic Party of political slavery domineers over the State and over the Southern people. The spirit of the Southern Democratic leadership, the working of the minds of those who rule, is shown in the various acts and plans put in motion to uphold their fixed opinions and purposes. The legislation enacted by the State legislatures immediately upon the close of the Civil War shows the mental attitude of the Southern Democracy leaders, their determined mind to assert their methods, just as does the disfranchisement chicanery make plain the character and disposition of these leaders in their intent to put through their desires. No sooner had the nation freed the slaves than did the Southern Democracy set to work to effect their en-slavement. The State of Alabama enacted a law authorizing that stubborn or refractory servants be hired out at public outcry at six months' labor, in default of $50 fine, and, furthermore, proceeded to authorize the sheriff or constable to apprentice out all minors under the age of 18 whose parents had not the means or refused, to support them, the former owner of said minor to have the preference. Louisiana enacted a law to the effect that every freed man or woman shall provide themselves with a comfortable home and visible means of support within twenty days after the passage of this act, with the penalty of being hired out for a year. All agricultural laborers were given the first ten days in January to make a contract for a year. South Carolina required that carpenters pay a license of $100 a year, and the same amount was required of the Negro before he could become a shopkeeper or a peddler. Every conceivable act was passed by the Southern legislatures that ingenuity could conceive and devise so that the Southern planter might continue former slave labor as nearly under the old basis as possible to so do under the adjustment thought out and put in forms of laws. The repression of non-slave owning whites of the South before the Civil War finds parallel with that of the existing system. I called attention to this in my address before the Twentieth Century Club in Boston, several years ago, when I recited the school statistics of the State as an instance of the backward keeping of the masses. I then said: "There are about 400,000 whites of school age in Alabama, according to the enumerated census for the year 1910." Of this number the average attendance will not exceed 175,000 in the white schools of the State during the scholastic year. Of the colored there are 300,000, and the average attendance is shown by the reports to be 89,000. It will be seen, therefore, that of the 700,000 children of school age in Alabama, there are 400,000 growing up without the advantages of educational training. The duration of some of the schools in Alabama is three out of the twelve months in a year, while there are six months' schools in the more favored white sections of the State. The cities and towns now have nine months' schools. There was no such thing as public education in the South until the so-called carpet-bag Republican administrations introduced this system. It was this much-despised and reviled Republicanism that caused the first advance in education to be made to uplift the plain people of the Southern States." The peonage laws of the Southern States, the convict labor laws, the labor contract legislation, all of this conniving, were planned and purposed as a means of exploiting the colored laborers of the South. It was a practice of barbarity and cruelty that had gone on from bad to worse, until the Federal Government had to take cognizance of these inhuman processes. Petty courts and constables, working together with the exploiters of helpless people, did a thriving business in this heartless oppression. The system is yet, here and there in the Southern States, still working under one form or another, while these perpetrators of it feel a degree of safety during the control of the national government by the South in the saddle Democracy. All legislation in Southern legislatures is brought forward and carried through by the oligarchy, this class-rule element, and it all has in mind the maintenance of the Democratic Party conception and fostering of the Southern Democratic methods. Public sentiment is cautiously and studiously kept in tune with the predominating leadership, and, both South and North, the Southern Democratic Party propaganda is never permitted to take a rest. The astute Hun could have learned much from the Southern Democracy by studying the propaganda of Southern political leaders. (To be continued.) Branch office, 1032 Whittingham place, Deanwood.
