They pledged the support of the colored people of the land to any plan that might be devised, looking to the uplift and development of their "sister republic" in far-off Africa, regarding Liberia as the "open door" through which the New World may enter the inner life of the Dark Continent and bring the leaven of a higher civilization. They were proud of Liberia's wonderful progress as a recognized government, and "loved it next to their own country, because of its oneness with them in blood, religion and language." President-Elect King, of pleasing personality and modest dignity, responded graciously and thanked the visitors for their assurance of sympathetic interest. He was gratified to note that all America seemed to be awakening to the vast possibilities bound up in the future of Liberia. This new and forward-looking country, keenly alive to the value of every type of education and equipment, extends a welcome to enterprising young men who possess qualities for leadership and to others who are masters of the technical and scientific arts. Following the speaking the entire party was photographed on the hotel lawn by A. N. Scurlock. President-Elect King has been re Congressman Marion F.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 ceived at the White House and the State Department and has been highly honored by many representative colored citizens here. He will be one of the principal speakers at the "suffrage session" of the National Race Congress, which will open in this city October 7, with delegates from every State in the Union and with commission to voice the sentiments of the Negro people of every land. American Protectorate Wanted for German- African Colonies. President Jefnagin, of the Race Congress, recently appeared before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and made a most eloquent and effective plea for justice for all the darker peoples of the world, and emphasized the importance of having an American protect rate established over the African colonies wrested from the tyranny of the German empire. His speech was a "keynote." This and other problems of vital concern to the Negro will be fully discussed at the coming meeting of the National Race Congress of America, set for October 7 to 11, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Liberal contributions are being received from many sources for the $250,000 Emergency Defense Fund, in charge of Prof. John R. Hawkins, designed to protect the welfare of the race wherever such protection is urgently needed. Mr. Washington is an expert in his line of business. If there is any doubt, go, to the opening next Wednesday, from 6 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. The people in the northwest have been anxiously awaiting on up-to-date cafe. They were gratified when the announcement was made that the Industrial Cafe would be enlarged and put in a condition that would meet the demands of the people. It is now a new place, where perfect comfort is given and satisfactory meals are served. After you leave the Hiawatha Theatre, make a visit to the Industrial Cafe and be convinced that it is an up-to-date place, where satisfactory and reasonable meals are served to the patrons. Don't forget the number, 2006 Eleventh street northwest. HOWARD THEATRE.

Respectfully, The Management: DAUGHTERS OF SPHINX The delegates and friends of the Daughters of Sphinx, who were here in session for the past week at the old PRESIDENT Masonic Hall at Nineteenth and L streets northwest, gave a farewell banquet and reception to the hundreds of delegates coming from various sections of the country. The banquet was held on Wednesday evening, in the ballroom of the hall, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Mr. Hayward Steward and his menu was up-to-date. The young ladies of the Sphinx served. Mrs. Attia Oram was chairman of the committee, with her daughter, Mrs. Marie Blake, and T. Thomas. After supper Wednesday evening the guests enjoyed a very elaborate musical program, with some of Washington's best. Among them were Misses Ruth Cox, and Evelyn Brown, Mrs. M. B. Scott at the piano. Mr. Thomas Harper received a great ovation on his address defining the order of the "Sphinx" from prehistoric times to the present day. Among the visitors to the reception and banquet were many prominent citizens, some of whom were Mrs. Florence Day, Miss Mazie Corsey, Miss A. C. Keys, Mr. James A. Bannister, Mr. R. DeReef Miller and Lieut. W. J. Pinkett of the General Staff College of the U. S. A. The farewell dance in honor of the visitors was held Thursday evening; and was a big success.

LACK OF REASON President Moton Finds Intense Feeling Among Negroes, but Whites Anxious to Be Fair. Tuskegee, Ala.—R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, declared in a statement regarding recent race riots in North and South, that it was difficult to understand why there should be so much apparent suspicion and bitterness on the part of both the white and Negro races: "I have never known the Negroes to have more intense feeling toward the white people than at the present," he said, "and I have never known a time when there was less reason. I never knew a time when the white people of the South were more anxious than at present to be fair and just to the Negro. This is also true of the North. "There was never a time when the South, and the North, too, saw more clearly the value of the Negro as an economic factor in industrial operations. I never knew a time when Southern white people felt more chagrined and humiliated at the awful crime of lynching than they do today, and I never knew a time when they were more determined to put down mob rule, whether aimed at black or white, than now. "We, North and South, should make up our minds that there is room enough, there is opportunity enough, for Negroes and whites to work peacefully and harmoniously here in America, each living his life unhampered by any act or any untoward attitude of the other, and I hope that our leaders in every community, white and black, will get together and smooth out matters that are misunderstood." SON OF RICHARD WARE POISONED AT BUCKROE While Mrs. Richard Ware and her little son were at Buckroe Beach last month, he was poisoned from the effects of eating ice cream. Mrs. Ware hurried home and placed him in charge of an eminent physician. The little fellow is now out of danger, and Mr. and Mrs. Ware are much relieved. HELD UP AND ROBBED. Three White Soldiers Hold Up John M. Harris and Rob Him of $11 and His Automobile—Held in $3,000 Bond for the Action of the Grand Jury. Friday evening, September 5, John M. Harris, colored, was hired by three white soldiers at the Union Station to drive them to Walter Reed Hospital. About a mile from the hospital Harris was commanded, at the point of a revolver, to stop his machine and hold up his hands. The trio went through his pockets, with the muzzle of an army revolver pointed at him. He was relieved of $11. One of the soldiers, suggested that they leave him $1 and not take it all. He was commanded to "get up and git." He took French leave, while the three soldiers drove off in his machine. The case was assigned to Sergeant Detectives Goodrich and Charles Mullen, who arrested the soldiers a few days ago and recovered the machine, valued at $300. In Police Court, Tuesday morning, the three soldiers were arraigned and gave their names as Carroll P. O'Brien, John Gordon and Herman Koplitski. They admitted, the officers said, to having run away from camp and having committed the crime. Judge McMahon held them in $3,000 bond for the action of the Grand Jury. Barbour, the Black Gabrilovitch. J. Berni Barbour, of Chicago, a member of Billy King's Company, is reported to be one of the most successful musicians of the race. He has the proud distinction of having studied piano with Sherwood, Henri, Luczerynie, and harmony with the late Theo. Thomas. He is a concert pianist, composer, specialty artist and saxophone soloist. To hear his interpretation of a pollonaise by Chopin, a sonata by Beethoven, a fugue by Bach, on overture by Wagner, or other equally well-known works leaves with you the well assured fact of his splendid capabilities as pianist. His catalogue of compositions consists of songs of every description, as well as instrumental numbers of all kinds. Among them is "The Fallen Hero," militar march; "The Face on the Somber Wall," and "Tell Moms." He composed especially for Ruth St. Denis, famous dancer, the Egyptian intermezzo "Sphinx." Incidental music to Billy King's "Exploits in Africa" was written by Mr. Barbour. A versatile lyric writer of the first water, some of his poems are "Somewhere, Some Day, Someone." "Lonesome," "Ma Ole Log Cabin, Home." MISS BROOKS MAKES HIT. As a Star in the Billy King Company, She Has Won Fame as an Up-to-Date Actress—Large Audiences Cheer Her in Her Marvelous Aeroplane Act. Miss Theresa B. Brooks, one of the foremost stars with the Billy King Players, now finishing their second week of unprecedented success, at the Howard Theatre, has given the patrons of this house a rare display of talent and ability. Her dainty portrayal, of the parts assigned her has won for her the highest regard in the hearts of Washington's theatre-going public. As a singer, Miss Brooks' work is wonderful and was received with great enthusiasm at every performance. Her dance interpretations THE MUSICIAN brought forth rounds of applause. As the "acroplane girl," in this week's production, Miss Brooks shows remarkable skill in the handling of this feature and successfully made her ascension at each performance. Her friends are anxiously awaiting her feature act of the final week of the engagement. Will display to Ladies on Tuesday, September 16th, at the Minerva (Apt. 6), a full line of all the latest shades of Cloths and Linings, from 9:30 a. m. to 8 p. m. While sleated in my office, a thought ran through by brain as to the whereabouts of my good and old reliable friend, Ralph W. Tyler. I said to myself, had he been in the city when word came that the president-elect of Liberia would visit the Capital, Ralph would have had the National Government to receive him, or he would know the reason why. There is no colored Democratic representative to represent the Democratic administration. When President Wilson was inaugurated, or before he was inaugurated, the Republican exes who held forth, better known as the Black Cabinet, as R. W. T. designates them, places had all been parceled out by these different colored Democrats. My good friend, Jim Ross, had the nerve to visit the Recorder's Office before Link Johnson retired and seated himself in his chair and asked him how the seat fit. Willy McKinley accidentally slipped in the collectorship of the Port of New York, and was silently confirmed before the boys could say give them a pint of peanuts. My good friend, Ralph Tyler, engineered him through. Just what good he was to Ralph, no one knows. He was as much good to the administration as Link Johnson was to the Republican party. Now, the exes entertained the president-elect of Liberia at the expense of the Government. That was a good way for the administration to transfer the responsibility of entertaining President-Elect Wilson by the exes of the former Republican administration. The exes were entertained at breakfast. There were some eats. A delegation from the Race Congress followed the exes, and no doubt informed the ex-president that, they represented the people. Well, you can just bet your life that the Race Congress delegation represented the Detroit 33 H Street, N. E. Phone: Main 1055.

He is hardly known outside of Tenth and F streets northwest. I bet you two quarts of dried apples to a pint of dried peaches that Bill Houston, ex-grand master of Odd Fellows, is a political nonentity, Bill Lewis. ex-Assistant Attorney General, was seen werding his way to the Hotel Lafayette attired in a frock coat and a straw hat on the morning breakfast was given. Bill Lewis. ex-Assistant Attorney General, is the individual who attempted to dictate Republican politics two years ago. He is a grand talker and quite a level-headed individual; but he is no politician. The president-elect of Liberia is a level-headed individual. I didn't see where any of the dignitaries of the administration called to see him. Now, just wait; the Prince of Wales will be in town soon, or some soft, pedal individual from over the seas. Speaking about a reception, the people will be falling over themselves. The president-elect has been speaking in the colored churches, advising the colored people in America how to act and what to do. The colored Americans don't need to be advised. They are able to speak and act for themselves. Our good friend, Judge Terrell, was at the breakfast. The judge is a wholesome individual. He doesn't put on any lugs. The judge appreciates good eats and good drinks. Water is quite hard to swallow this warm season. He can always adapt himself to conditions. The jin-crow bill was discussed this week. Our friends, Murray and Lassiter, put it squarely up to the committee. Lassiter is, a brainy man and a hustler from away back. The Republican Congress has an opportunity to put itself on record.

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. Seeby Drug Co., 14 Wooster street. New York City. Quinade and Quinasoap are sold at all of the People's' Drug Stores. PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES. Store No. 1, 7th and Kt Sts. N. W.

One of the most thrifty and best managed schools in the South for the education and training of young colored men and women is the National Training School at Durham, N.C. This school was founded six years ago by Dr. James E. Shepard, who is regarded by educators as being one of the best-equipped men of the colored race engaged in educational work in the South. The school had a small beginning, but under the splendid leadership of Dr. Shepard, it has steadily grown in usefulness and influence to a commanding position among the institutions of the higher sort in the South. The faculty is composed of wellqualified teachers from some of the leading colleges of the country. The departments are: Grammar school, academy, school of arts and sciences, music, teacher training, divinity school, commercial, home economics and social service. The institution numbers among its best friends prominent white persons of the South and North and other sections of the country who believe in giving the colored people a chance to get the kind of education that fits one for a useful life. Dr. Shepard leaves Durham this week on his northern speaking tour. He will visit New York City, New Hayen, Boston and Springfield, Mass. Funds for the erection of two dormitory halls are among the most urgent needs of the school. The fall term begins September 22. MRS. HATTIE CONTEE. EVANS. Mrs. Hattie Contee Evans, wife of the late Wm. Evans and daughter of the late Jonathan R. Contee and Mrs. Laura V. Contee, who died at her late residence in Elm street, after a short but painful illness, was buried Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Evans is the sister of Ex-Lieut, Geo. S. and Jonathan R. Contee, Jr., who are citizens of Denver, Colo. Mrs. Evans was a sweet and amiable woman. She leaves a daughter and a son. BON TONS.

The flowers are ornamental and vary in color according to the variety of the plant. It is very valuable in jaundice, liver diseases, the removal of worms and in small doses is a good tonic for dyspepsia and debilitated conditions of the stomach. Bayberry—It is found in the woods and fields from Canada to Florida. The right time for the collection of these roots is the latter part of the fall, at which time they are in full power. Powdered, it has been used as a snuff with curative effects in catarrh of the head and nasal growths. Bearberry—This is a great astringent and tonic. It is particularly useful in chronic diarrhoea, dysentery, profuse menstruation, piles, diabetes and other similar complaints. It possesses rare curative principles when administered for diseases of the urinary organs, more especially in chronic affections of the kidneys, mucus discharges from the bladder, inflammation of the latter organ and all derangements of the water passages. Bear's Bed—This evergreen plant is found in high, dry places along the margins of dry wood, mostly in poor, sandy soil. It yields its virtues to boiling water. This plant, though very little known as a remedial agent, is nevertheless a valuable remedy for dropsical conditions, gravel and urinary obstructions. Bead Tree—It is a native of China and hence also known as the Pride of China, but also cultivated in the warm parts of Europe and America. The oil of the nut is very useful in healing ulcers, sores and overcomes worms and gangrene conditions. Made into ointment, it helps where, ordinary ointments fail. Beth-Root—This is a wonderful plant; it is astringent, antiseptic, tonic, and is successfully employed in bleeding from the lungs, kidneys and womb, and is splendid for leucorrhea as well as for chest and cough troubles. Bird's Nest—This is more helpful in intermittent fevers than quinine. It is said to relieve convulsive diseases and overcome restlessness, pains and nervous irritability. (To be continued next week.) ANACOSTIA NEWS. The most important event of the past week was that of the three days' county fair held under the auspices of the Barry Farm Citizens' Association, on the grounds of the Non-Sectarian Home. Over $100 was cleared. The product of local gardens was on exhibition, showing some choice market goods. Two worthy institutions are to be given a neat financial lift—the Non-Sectarian Home, presided over by Mrs. Mary Webster, and the C. M. E. Church and its able pastor, Rev. J. E. Scott. Fair Notes. Chairman Elzie S. Hoffman divided his time between the fair and the Washington roof garden, where his musical duties are scheduled nightly year after year. Mrs. M. Abbott did much to make the fair a success. We cannot bestow too much praise upon her. Mrs. Mary Webster, of the Home, was another splendid worker, with able assistants as follows: Misses O. G. Clark and Louise Craig; Mesdames Celestine Lewis, A. U. Craig, Suson Dyson, Mrs. Bumby, Mrs. Blunt and Mrs. Roberts. At the gate selling tickets were Vice President Samuel Jones, Fred Dyson and John Baddy. Mr. Norvain Talliaferro, with his fine automobile, was certainly on the job. Mr. Daniel Webster responded to every call and rendered valuable service on all stations. How we did miss Mr. Jesse Foster, who was called to Harpers Ferry on account of the death of Mr. Martin- From the roof gardens of Washington came several musicians who were with the A. E. F. in France. They opened the fair with several appropriate musical numbers. The instrumentation was as follows: Mr. T. Roy Williams, trombone; Mr. H. Burt, saxophone; Mr. William Jones, saxophone; Mr. T. Pierce, pianist; our own Hoffman, saxophone, and the sensational trap-drummer, William Beasley. Mr. U. S. Banks, as chairman, at the Birney School last Sunday, held a Pythian memorial service, which was largely attended. Among the speakers were Judge Robert H. Terrell and Lawyers Thos. W. Walker and John Wilson. Speaking of police efficiency, we have the best there is in Washington today. You should know Capt. Thomas Anderson, of the Eleventh Police Precinct. You writers and others should come to Anacostia and call on this popular veteran commander. Did it ever occur to you that with such a small force he has a larger crowd of workers and pleasure seekers to deal with daily, especially during the summer season, than any other captain of the Metropolitan Police Force? There is the steel plant, where thousands are employed; the aviation field, known as Bolling Field; soldiers and sailors; the inmates or convalecents of St. Elizabeth's; and, besides, two pleasure parks, where thousands gather nightly—Congress Heights for whites and Green Willow Park for colored. There were no riots in Anacostia. Those faithful patrolmen and mounted men have the Anderson tact instilled into them. May he live long. Labor Day celebrations were many. Thousands of the city population spent the day at Green Willow Park, Knox's Farm. Allan Chapel gave a lawn party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Delaney, on Stanton road. They were ably assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Selden and Mr. and Mrs. Giles. A tidy sum of money was realized. Revs. W. H. West and J. E. Scott have just returned from a trip to their quarterly conferences. Miss Emma, V. Smith, Birney School Community secretary, is out again, after a severe spell of sickness. Mrs. Maggie Talliaferro, of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is enjoying part of her annual leave. Go to Dr. Shipley's drug store for The Bee. IN THE MUSICAL WORLD. Pertinent Comment. By Wellington A. Adams. Prof. Lew With Calvary Episcopal Choir. Prof. W. E. Lew, formerly chair director of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, assumed the directorship of the Calvary Episcopal Church, Eleventh and G streets northeast, last Sunday, September 7. New System of Piano Instruction. Miss Kay, of St. Paul, Minn., a prominent white musician of the great Northwest, invited the writer to visit her at the National Woman's Party Headquarters, Jackson place at Fourteenth street northwest, recently to inspect a new piano system of instruction, called the "Upton Method," in which a beginner may learn to play all scales, recognize triads away from piano based upon fifth, third, first and seventh of chord, etc. In fact, the new system embraces every element of constructiveness in its very beginning and qualifies the student to the plare of harmonizing correctly and composing in the initial stages. Charts and plate glass with stickers are used to convey the principles intuitively, and the pupil soon gains an intimate knowledge of the science of music long ere they learn to perform intelligently and adequately. The Upton System therefore is a wonderfully advanced idea and revolutionizes the modern method of instruction. It is widely used in the middle Northwest and is unknown as yet to Easterners in the music profession. The writer spent a pleasant and instructive period with Miss Kay and other ladies in the main ball room of headquarters, and was requested to learn the system and introduce it to other white and colored musicians locally. It is well to state that the invitation extended by Miss Kay was done through the courtesy of a white lady patron of the Columbia Conservatory Commencement exercises last June, and Miss Minnie Richardson, a vocal student. Billy King's Musical Show. We had the pleasure of attending Billy King's musical show last week and were well pleased with the numbers presented. The company presented the musical comedy "Over the Top." Aside from the merriment occasioned by the comics of King and associate, I was particularly interested in the singing productions by individuals and ensemble. Speaking generally, the show was a riot of mirth, melody and song, and brilliant scenes and dashing kaleidoscopic costumes of every variety and style, captivating the immense audience. And King is king, as his comics would amuse a mule. They sing!

Principal Moton has the happy (?) faculty of either sidestepping an assuring explanation or conveying the impression that he opposes open contention for justice. Although the principal sidestepped just what he meant by our "intense feeling," we give him the benefit of the doubt by assuming he meant our feelings were "intense" against the injustices now being heaped upon us after we had played our part, and played it well, in this recent world war for democracy. We assume—just to give him the benefit of the doubt—that he meant our "intense feeling" means a revulsion against our splendid colored fighters. back from France, being treated like aliens rather than like the patriots they were. We assume that Principal Moton's reference to "intense feeling" means that the Washington, Chicago and Knoxville riots convey the idea that colored men could be actuated by self-preservation in defending their persons and their homes against mobs in the United States, just as they had defended the flag from 1776 to 1918, inclusive. Then, further along, like one who shows the cloven foot, Principal Moton says: "I never knew a time when the white people of the South were more anxious than at present to be absolutely fair and just to the Negro." What rot! "Absolutely fair and just!" If the South is so "anxious" to be absolutely fair and just, as Moton says, why is it that lynchings and burnings of colored people—even of those who fought overseas for that will-o'-the-wisp, democracy—our returned colored soldiers—goes on unabated? Why is it that no effort—not the least semblance of an effort—has been made to wipe from the statute books of the South the jim-crow laws that cause brave, enduring colored soldiers to feel they fought in vain and that their comrades who fell on Flanders' field died in vain? Why is it that no attempt has been made to safeguard to the returned colored heroes and their kinsmen, the right to exercise the right of suffrage which the Constitution vouchsafes, but which the South denies? Why was it that Mr. Shillady, national secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., was beaten and ordered to leave the South because he went there peacefully pleading for a square deal for the race? We have no objections whatever to Principal Moton apologizing for the white South—he proved he was the right man to serve as a public apologist when he, in France, counseled our splendid colored heroes to "don't put on airs" on their return home. But we do object to Moton assuming to speak for the race when he apologizes, and when he attempts to close the people's eyes to what is now being done in the South to restrict the race and to persecute it. If the white people in the South are "anxious," as Moton says, to be "absolutely fair and just," then all we have to say is they have a mighty poor way of showing it. The remainder of Principal Moton's interview was but a case of "backing and filling," dodging and apologizing for the South's crime against humanity. Unlike his distinguished and achieving predecessor, Principal Motion never opens his mouth but what he puts his foot in it. He has earned the unenviable title of "the South's apologist."

It also suggested the name of a lawyer who was in possession of some very important information. It also stated, in person, to the president of the Parents' League and other officers of the league that a muddle was being made of the whole affair, and advised the league not to go to the Board of Education, as it was useless. The Bee personally placed in the hands of a member of the publicity committee a certain important document concerning the conduct in the Deanwood School. Now the league, through one or two of its attorneys, has made a mess of the entire situation, and its last resort is to have the children withdrawn from the schools, to which The Bee refuses to become a party. It has turned out just as The Bee said it would turn out with certain of its attorneys. Attorney Horner's advice was completely ignored. The president of the league assumed that only one man among the lawyers selected had any sense, and he had less than the entire bunch. There is a way for the league to win the fight, but not as it is at present prosecuted. The advice of Mr. Geo. C. Smith was ignored, and if anything at all is accomplished, it will be by and through his efforts. The Bee opposes taking the children out of the schools. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS OF AMERICA IN ACTION The official call for the meeting of the National Race Congress of Ameri- ion, to be held in this city October 7 has been issued by the president, Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernigan, and the clans from every section of the country are getting ready to gather at the nation's capital on the date mentioned.

Able speakers are to present the issues and the discussion will be broad and thorough, and the steps to be taken to crystallize thought into action will be prompt Hon. F. M. Hercules, secretary of the Society of the Peoples of Africa with headquarters at London, Eng. has accepted an invitation to address the congress, and Congressman Matthew Agady, of Liberia; is also expected to speak. Invitations have been extended, to the Hon. C. D. King president of Liberia; Hon. Blaise Diagne, president of the Pan-African Congress recently held in Paris, and a member of the House of Deputies of the Republic of France, who has also been in charge of the colonial troops who fought so valiantly for liberty and democracy throughout the world war on the western front in France. Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, this city, has accepted the post of field agent for the congress, and will travel extensively in the next few weeks to place the purposes of the organization before the people. He will be assisted by Rev. D. L. Reed, the well-known lecturer and author; Rev. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus, Va.; Rev. J. N. C. Coggins, and others. Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary of the Emergency Defense Fund, under the auspices of the National Race Congress, is actively pushing the work in defense of the innocent colored citizens of the District who were arrested during the recent riot, and whose only offense was that they did what they could to protect themselves from the violence of the mob, which could not be retrained by the lawful authorities. Prof. Hawkins is receiving contributions at his office, 1541 Fourteenth street northwest, Washington, D. C. and any sums sent for this purpose will be welcomed. The forthcoming session of the race congress promises to be the best f the series, and it is hoped by Dr.ernagin that much good will be accomplished for all the people by this exchange of counsel with the most thoughtful members of the race in october. Its Cause—Investigation by the Columbia Aid Association—Report of the Committee. The Columbia Aid Association of the District of Columbia, consisting of a membership of 600 men, having legal residences in the various States of the Union, at its last regular meeting appointed a committee to draft resolutions bearing on the recent race riot in the city of Washington, D. C., and send a copy of the same to the chairmen of the Senate and House Committees on the District of Columbia. After careful investigation of the facts, circumstances and conditions at the time of said race riot, we are desirous of submitting the following for your careful consideration: First. We are Americans, and as such, our first concern is the safety of America in all things vital to her honor, her institutions and her citizens. Second. We believe all men are born free and equal, and that under the law all should have the same opportunity to make for themselves social and mental development. Third. We believe that no nation can long endure who is unwilling to give to all of its citizens an equal protection of its stipulated laws. Fourth. We horribly deplore and deeply regret the recent race riot in Washington, for the following reasons, namely. It is a disgrace to the Capital of a free Nation, whose Lord should be the righteous God; the innocent were the main sufferers; the injury done to the friendly feeling that has heretofore existed between the two races, that feeling having been more firmly cemented by the words of the President in his declaration of war on Germany, when he asked every American "to do his bit in the fight for world emocracy." The Columbia Aid Association responded by buying Liberty Bonds. Fifth. The main causes that led to the race riot were: The propaganda of certain leading newspapers, of Washington, the glaring appearance of the daily headlines picturing the Negro as a brutal criminal committing assaults upon women, served to fan the smoldering flames, and when evidence disclosed the fact that the Negro was innocent, these papers had not the fairness to correct their charges; and race hatred, exhibited by newcomers from certain sections where the policy has existed to keep the "nigger" in his proverbial place, together with the unfortunate bungling of the police administration; for strange it seems that these offenders of the law are not apprehended and brought to justice. Sixth. We believe that a man who commite a criminal assault upon any woman, when proven guilty, ought to pay the extreme penalty; for no community is safe with any such character, be he black or white. Squatch. We believe that the cause Seventh. We believe that the cause Supreme Court of the District of Columbia—Holding Probate Court—Estate of Fannie Thornton Williams, Deceased, No. 26,115, Administration Docket 60. Application having been made to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, holding a Probate Court tor probate of the last will and testament of said deceased, and for letters of administration with the will annexed on said estate, by Addie M Williams, it is ordered this 19th day of August, A. D. 1919, that notice be and hereby is given to Richard Williams, husband, and Daniel L. Williams, son, and to all others concerned, to appear in said court on Monday, the 29th day of September A. D. 1919, at 10 o'clock a.m., to show cause why such application should not be granted. Provided this notice be published in the "Washington Law Reporter" and Washington Bee once in each of three successive weeks before the return day herein mentioned, the first publication to be not less than thirty days before said return day. William Hitz, Justice. Attest: W. Clark Taylor, Deputy Register of Wills for the District of Columbia, Clerk of the Probate Court. Barri W. Frisby, Attorney. JOSEPH H. STEWART; Atty. Supreme Court of the District of Columbia—Holding Probate Court—No. 25747, Administration. This is to give notice: That the subscriber, of the District of Columbia, has obtained from the Probate Court of the District of Columbia, Letters testamentary on the estate of Primus H. Simmons, late of the District of Columbia, deceased. All persons having claims against the deceased are hereby warned to exhibit the same, with the vouchers thereof, legally authenticated, to the subscriber, on or before the 19th day of August, A.

Davis, Attorneys. of arrest should know no color; it is reported that only certain men were to be searched and that only certain men were to be arrested, and when arrested thrown into the patrol and hauled to the station house, where in some instances they were disarmed and placed behind prison bars, were beaten into insensibility. We ask that a thorough investigation of such reports be made in order to exonerate the good officers, and those found guilty be dismissed from the force. Eighth. All fair-minded and all thoughtful men must realize that the past war is not the last war, for in the present state of affairs of the world there can be no lasting peace; therefore, the nation who, because of the loyalty and patriotism of its citizens will be in the best possible position of defense; for fair treatment is righteous, and righteousness exalteth a nation—our hope is that America will always be such a nation. Ninth. To a better understanding, we recognize the fact that there are good and bad in both races and that good men will obey the law, and all others should be made to obey. Let us have an honest enforcement of the law, no evasions, no discriminations and no hiding of crimes or criminals. We further ask that all public officials whose personal feeling and prejudice prevent them from administering an equal justice be removed from office. Tenth. We ask that a thorough investigation be made by Congress of the race riot in Washington, and as far as possible make the recurrence of such a thing an impossibility; for as things are now we are simply living in an armed camp, where an outbreak may occur at any time. Eleventh. We believe in a Republican form of government for all the States and for all the people. Twelfth. These things we ask in the name of America, equality and justice. We wish further to state that contrary to the accusation or charges made against us some days ago, we are neither bolshevists nor soviets, nor have we become impregnated with the principles of the I. W. W., but all we ask is a square deal. All men who are good enough to fight a nation's battles are good enough to have a square deal thereafter. Respectfully, W. H. Johnson, Chairman. H. N. Ball. J.

Special Thursday, September 18th W. M. Fox Super Production, "WHY I SHOULD NOT MARRY" Ambrosia preparations for the hair and complexion have gained a wonderful popularity because of their genuine merit, because they absolutely do all that is claimed for them. Ambrosia preparations are not the result of a chance or a dream. They are the result of patient, careful analysis and experiments made by the world's greatest chemists. They are scientifically and chemically correct, and they are French in quality, French in spirit, and French in their irresistible charm. While they had gained wonderful popularity because of their genuine merit, we felt that the knowledge of such meritorious hair and complexion preparations ought to be extended to colored women and men who very properly take pride in preserving, restoring and acquiring that very great asset—beauty of hair and complexion—and we knew the best way to reach the largest number of such people was through the newspapers. It was suggested to us that we should use the Washington Bee, and we are frank in saying that even during the short time our advertisement has been running in it, The Bee has proved, to us at least, it is a good advertising medium.

Mrs. Willie Shuford, Sec'y --- Large Delegations to Attend "Suffrage Session" of National Race Congress in Washington, October 7-11—Local Units Being Formed in Every Section of the Country—Make Careful Note of Exact Day and Date. Word is being received from many States by the officials of the National Race Congress of America indicating that interest in the forthcoming "suffrage session" of that organization, called to meet in this city October 7-11, is growing by leape and bounds, and its success is assured. It is especially desired by President W. H. Jernagin that the exact date of this session be kept thoroughly in mind by the people in general, to the end that the deliberations of the National Race Congress may not be confused with those of another body somewhat similar in name, also announced for this city some time in September. The organizations are separate and distinct (although not antagonistic), and the program of the National Race Congress of America is peculiar unto itself in points of race protection to be emphasized and in the method of reaching the results to be achieved. Delegates, planning to attend the National Race Congress will bear in mind that the convention to which they are being elected will assemble here October 7 to 11, inclusive, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets northwest, of which Rev. M. W. D. Norman is pastor, and will govern themselves accordignly. Any further information that may be desired will be cheerfully furnished by Drs. Jernagin, Norman and Callis, or Prof. John R. Hawkins from the national headquarters, 902 Third street northwest. Local Units Being Formed All Over the Land. Encouraging reports are being received from Rev. A. C. Garner, Rev. Daniel L. Reed, Rev. A. A. Graham and other agents in the field, who are giving their entire time during the month of September to the work of forming local units of the National Race Congress in various States, which will send delegates from every section to Washington in October. The colored people are manifesting a greater measure of enthusiasm for their own welfare now than has been known at any time since Emancipation, and the readiness with which they are responding to the call of the representative men in charge of this cause bodes well for the future of all concerned. Active work in the organization of local units is being carried on day by day by public-spirited men and women, and to make the convention truly "national," particular attention is being paid to the territory as far West as Kansas City and as far South as Texas and the Gulf border, where a personal canvass is being made. Large delegations from the South and West, reinforcing the North and East, will render a service that cannot be valued too highly in pushing our problems of suffrage and equal rights to the foreground of national consideration. The adoption of the "zone system" is proving quite effective, and in the Western districts, under the supervision of Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, Kans., the results reported are gratifying to the last degree. In a measure not less satisfactory the Southern districts are being heard from, and delegates in many quarters have already been elected and qualified. Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary in charge of the $250,000 emergency defense fund for the protection of the race everywhere, reports a constant inflow of subscriptions, with churches, fraternities, clubs and individuals responding generously and heartily. The recent unfortunate race happenings here and in other places have deeply impressed upon our people the necessity for the maintenance of a substantial defense fund for just such emergencies, and Prof. Hawkins is confident he will be able to make a showing at the October convention that will be both surprising and inspiring. The Negro press is lending a cordial support to this movement, "of the people, by the people, and for the people," and there is every reason to believe that October 7 will bring to Washington the most progressive outpouring of the race that the nation has ever witnessed. HALLS HILL, VA. The central attraction of this community at this period and for the next five days is the bazaar being held in the beautiful grove of Cottage Park, an adjoining villa site here, owned and supervised by Mr. Robert E. Smith, who is a man of great business ability and has made it possible for many of our best people to buy lots and build their homes. Among them is Mr. W. A. Robinson, who is having a beautiful house built with all modern improvements in the most attractive location. Rev. T. N. Austin and a number of delegates who have been attending the District Conference at Front Royal have returned. Among them were Mrs. E. J. Williams, Rev. Russell Smith, Mrs. Anita Snowden, Mrs. Carrie Carrington, Mrs. Lottie Chinn, and Mrs. Fannie Gibson. Mrs. C. V. Snowden has returned from Atlantic City, after spending about two weeks with relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Hyson have returned from the B. M. C., which met at Newport News. Mrs. Sarah Morgan arrived Sunday from the seashore. Mrs. B. T. Austin had for her companions and guests the past week her brother and his wife and baby girl, her mother and father. Mr. and Mrs. McKenny spent Sunday together at the parsonage here. The funeral services of Miss Livinia Spriggs, whose death was caused by being run down by a car on the Great Falls car line, was held in the Mount Salvation Baptist Church on Sunday, August 31st. Miss Spriggs was one of the best citizens of the community and was admired by all who knew her, both white and colored. This was shown by the number present at the funeral services and the deep sympathy expressed to her devoted parents and family. Rev. J. D. Fortune, her pastor, preached the funeral sermon, and Undertaker Rhines of Washington had charge of the funeral obsequies. Rev. Beckett will hold a ten-day meeting in Harrison Park. Proceeds from the lawn fete given by Mrs. B. T. Austin for the Sunday School centenary fund of Calloway M. E. Church were $15.05, which puts the Sunday School "over the top." The Junior Epworth League is planning a trip around the world this month. Chesterbrook is planning a queens' rally. ECHOES FROM THE NATIONAL MEDICAL CONVENTION. Newark, N. J., Sept. 4.—The sessions of the National Medical Convention, held in this city from August 26 to 29, was a huge success. The State of New Jersey, through Governor Runyon, and the City of Newark, its Mayor, gave the keys to the medical fraternity and the public at large opened their doors of welcome. A greater convention of this association has never before been held. More than four hundred delegates from all parts of the country were present as well as any number of friends. The operations performed by our most noted physicians and surgeons were remarkable and the various discussions were indeed interesting. The dental section performed many difficult operations and various methods of dispensing were displayed by the pharmacists. The social sessions usually to follow were paramount Wednesday, after the business of the convention, on behalf of the ladies of the New Jersey Medical Association Auxiliary, a luncheon was held in the Orange Mountains, where delicious viands, were enjoyed, though the need of overcoats was felt. From here a beautiful automobile parade, consisting of about two hundred cars, journeyed to Hollow Grove, N J., where the association was further entertained at an informal dance. On Thursday evening everybody was permitted to rest for the final ball on Friday night, which was a gorgeous affair. Saturday night the Manhattan Medical Society of New York City entertained in New York style, which ended all sessions of the N. M. A.

The Negro fought with all his skill, And helped the war to win; And now the white man's cry is "Kill." Mobs are formed to do it. In days gone by, when mobs were formed To burn and lynch and kill, The black man trembled, the white man stormed, And death was in his trail. But now, when we have shed our blood And left our dead in France, When we have done the best we could To save our fellowman, Shall we prove cowards in this land Where Freedom's banner flies? And prove as naught our deeds so grand Wrought on the fields of France? No; we are here to have our rights— An equal show to have; And we shall gather in our might To claim what's ours by birth.
