THE RACE CONGRESS COLLECTED OVER TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. NO REPORT MADE. VOL. XL. NO. 31 THE THE RACE CONG OVER TWO TH LARS. NO R REV. JERNAGIN. He Is Requested to Disclose—The People Who Donated to the Riot Fund Want to Know What Became of Their Money. If he places any value at all upon his own good name, it does seem that the Rev. W. H. Jernagin would hasten to set himself straight before the people relative to that "little change" he got out of them in the name of helping the men who fought to defend themselves and such as he during the so-called uncalled-for race riot here last July. Just such actions, Rev. Jernagin, as you seem to take a delight in are the very things that cause the race to doubt even good and well-meaning men and women of our group. Really, it does look bad for a preacher who professes to love God and his people alike. Why not gird up yourself, Rev. Jernagin, like a man, and tell us what became of the money? The people will gladly accept a reasonable account of the money they placed in your hands. Rev. Jernagin owes it to himself as an honest man and a preacher of the gospel to give a strict and immediate account of that money he got from the people; and if he stubbornly refuses to do so, it is not unlikely that the people will call a meeting and denounce him. Rev. Jernagin, "a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches," or the little amount of money that was placed in your hands by the generous- hearted men and women who took you to be none other than a Christian gentleman. The Rev. Mr. Jernagin will do well to pay more than a passing notice to these things, for the eyes of the people are upon him. Too long have our people been browbeaten by these self-appointed leaders (?) of the race, who are out and out for personal gain, and this writer is going to begin with the New Year (God sparing our life) to open the eyes of the people along that line. Rev. Jernagin may do as he pleases with the officers and members of his church, Mt. Carmel, but when he struck the people of Washington, he it known to him that he struck a snag! Better that you have a millstone about your neck and he cast into the sea than to fool with the people's money during the high cost of living. Get me? Most Worshipful Grand Lodge in Annual Session. The first session of the seventy-first annual communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, F. A. A. M., was held on Wednesday, December 10, 1919, at 8 p. m., at Masonic Temple, Fifth street and Virginia avenue south- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1920 The Grand Master's address was a lengthy one, owing to his review of all Masonic activities during the year among the subordinate lodges and chapters of the O. E. S. Direct and particular attention was called to the great accomplishments during the last ten months by members of the craft in the great Masonic drive. This drive was designed solely to liquidate the large financial indebtedness amounting to $456,000, which was the result of buying in all properties with the exception of the hall on Nineteenth street northwest, at public auction last April, by the Masonic Hall Corporation. The Grand Master stated that the corporation was now in a position to pay off this huge sum, although they had two years more within which to do so. The largest single event for raising funds was held in Central Coliseum on October 30, which was called the Queen Pageant, representing eight nationalities in the eight matrons of chapters of the O. E. S. This event alone netted over $0,000, and with others held during the ten months, the net returns showed over $0,200 had been raised. The committee in charge of this event was headed by Bro. Daniel I. Renfro, of Social Lodge No. 1. The Grand Master paid especial tribute to the efforts of the ladies of the O. E. S. for the greater portion of the success which was attained in the drive. Especial attention was called to the fact that all of the lodges have had their membership increased this year from 25 per 1 The election was held at 9:30 p.m. There were more members of the Grand Lodge present at this election than ever before and voiced their appreciation of the efforts so successful this year by electing the present officers for another year without exception. This action on the part of the members of the Grand Lodge marks a precedent in this respect and gives additional distinction of approval and confidence. The following officers were re-elected: John P. Turner, Grand Master; Jesse H. Mitchell, Deputy Grand Master; William E. Cobb, Grand Senior Warden; Charles P. Ford, Grand Junior Warden; William A. Warfield, Grand Treasurer; Samuel B. Hill, Grand Secretary. The Grand Master will announce the appointment of appointive officers and committees on December 27, the closing day of the Grand Lodge.

But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased. Ps. 115:3. Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. Through all eternity, to Thee A joyful song I'll raise; For, oh, eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise! Sunday. Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: He is their help and their shield. Ps. 115:11. Songs of praise the angels sang. Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When He spake and it was done. Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose, when He, Captive, led captivity. Monday. I love the Lord, because He hath heard my voice and my supplications. Ps. 116:1. Heaven and earth must pass away. Songs of praise shall crown the day; God will make new heavens and earth, Songs of praise shall hail their birth. And shall man alone be dumb Till that glorious Kingdom come? No; the church delights to raise Psalms and hymns and songs of praise. 1 Tuesday. Because He hath inclined His ear to me. therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live. 'Ps.' 116:2. Singing for Jesus, and trying to win Many to live Him and join in the song; Calling the weary and wandering in, Rolling the chorus of gladness along. Wednesday. O praise the Lord, for His merciful kindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Store open 9 A! M. to 10 P.M. The Little Store with the Big Reputation DALDI HEAVY REPAIRING A SPECIALTY Praise ye the Lord. Ps. 117:1, 2. Singing for Jesus, oh, singing with joy. Thus will we praise Him and tell out His love, Till He shall call us to brighter employ, Singing for Jesus forever above. Thursday. The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. Ps: 118:14. Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. Borne upon their latest breath Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amid eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous; the right hand of the Lord doth valiantly. Ps. 118:15. O happy band of pilgrims, If onward ye will tread, With Jesus as your Fellow, To Jesus as your Head, The cross that Jesus carried He carried as your due; The crown that Jesus weareth. He weareth it for you. CHESTERBROOK Miss Mildred Wallace, of Springhill, Va., became the bride of Mr. Andrew Carter, of Chesterbrook, Va., on December 25.

The Bee takes this opportunity to inform these local politicians that the Republican voters do not intend to submit to any star chamber proceedings or star organization in local politics. If two delegates are to be elected from this city to the next National Republican Convention they are to be elected by bona-fide Republican voteless citizens. If these delegates are to be elected in a convention of credited delegates or delegates regularly elected to a convention, then the local Republicans will readily submit to the will of the majority. These new disciples in politics are looking for an office and nothing more. As far as The Bee is concerned, its Editor is not an office-seeker or an office-holder, but a resident and citizen of the District of Columbia. The colored Republicans in this city have always kept the Republican party intact, and they do not propose at this late date to allow a band of lily-whites to dictate lily-white Republican politics. NINE EX-SOLDIERS LYNCHED IN 1919. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today published a statement showing that nine colored ex-soldiers had been lynched in the United States during 1919. Of the nine, two were burned to death, two were hanged, four were shot, and one was beaten. One of the colored soldiers was shot to death because he did not turn out of the road soon enough for passing white men: The list follows: March 14, Castlebury, Fla.—Bud Johnson, burned to death. Said to have confessed to attack on white woman. April 9, Pickens, Miss.—Admitted he had hired a woman to write an insulting note to a white woman.

CHRISTMAS GET-TOGETHER. Employees of the Hiawatha and the Foraker Theatres Have Good Time. Toast Morris Murray Makes a Hit. Manager R. G. Byers on His Good Behavior. There was a gay old time at the Whitelaw last Monday evening. The occasion was a Christmas get-together of the employees and invited guests of the Hiawatha and Foraker Theatres and the Murray Bros. Printing Company. It was an event that will not be forgotten by those who were present. Everybody enjoyed the date, and the master of ceremonies, Mr. F. Morris Murray, was right on the job with unique stunts. The most interesting feature was the editing and publishing of the Hiawatha and Foraker's Evening News, edited by F. Morris Murray. "The guest of honor was Mr. Clarence A. Brooks, the new movie star, who responded to an introduction by Toastmaster Murray. Raymond H. Murray, who does the talking for the Murray brothers, told about his business venture, which was full of interest, after the failure of Cashier Wm. A. Bowie to respond satisfactorily to the toast, "More Money in the Industrial Savings Bank." Manager R. G. Byars came in for many compliments and modestly accepted them, although Mrs. Byars was continually on his left. Mr. Byars was on his good behavior. Toastmaster Murray stated that he was surrounded with sufficient causes. The entire affair was enjoyed by all present. At the conclusion of the supper the floor was cleared, and the theatre orchestras from both theatres rendered some jazz dances, in which all participated. Editor W. Calvin Chase responded to the question as to what he thought of the evening newspaper edited by the Murray brothers, and concluded with Gloucester's soliloquy. At an early hour Tuesday morning the get-together banquet of the Hiawatha and Foraker Theatres and Murray brothers' printing office bade farewell to old Christmas festivities and decided to put on a new dress for 1920. The guests: Foraker—Miss Thelma White, Mrs. Burdell Dates, Mr. Geo. Tucker, Mr. Geo. Hope, Mr. Ernest Poole, Mr. Edward Graham, Mrs. Alice Brown, Mr. Joseph Henderson Mr. William Christmas, Mr. Frank Washington. Hiawatha—Mrs. Grayce Lecooke, Mrs. Jackson, Mr. Alber Hopkins, Mr. John Carpenter, Mr. Joseph Hill, Mr. Malcolm Thomas, Mr. Clarence Gordon, Mr. Ralph Shields, Mr. Philip Worde, Mr. Elliott Woods Murray Bros.—Mrs. Corine A.

HERSHAW WINS A PROMOTION. Mr. LaFayette M. Hershaw has General Land Office of the Interior Department by transfer and promotion from clerk of Class 3. The duties of the position to which Mr. Hershaw has been appointed require specific knowledge, of the public land laws and the decisions, regulations and practice thereunder, of the law of corporations and of the law of water rights in the desert-land States of the West. IMPORTANCE OF U. S. CENSUS TO COLORED PEOPLE. Because of the many economic changes since 1910, the importance of the approaching decennial census to the colored people should not be underestimated. These changes will be a matter of record in the history of the growth of the race and of the nation, and the statistical information which will be compiled from the data collected by the census enumerators, who will canvass the United States in January, should constitute a source of reliable information for this and for future generations. Through migration the colored population of some States has considerably increased, while in others it has decreased since the United States census of 1910. Agricultural activities appear to be extending in new directions. Thousands of colored men and women have entered into the industrial life of the nation as producers. Indications in certain States point to a large increase in home ownership. A substantial growth in the number of business enterprises owned and operated by colored men is reflected in their newspapers and magazines, which are growing in number and influence. The number of professional men and women is steadily increasing, and the percentage of illiteracy is rapidly decreasing. The accuracy of the census reports depends largely upon the willingness of each individual to answer fully each question asked by the enumerator, and it is only in this way that reliable data can be obtained from which can be determined the social and economic progress made by each element of the population in the United States. The Census Bureau emphasizes the point that all information collected by the census enumerators is strictly confidential. It can not be used as a basis for taxation, for the enforcement of any Federal, State or local law, or in any way whatsoever that will cause harm to the person giving it or to his affairs. No one, therefore, should hesitate to give to the census enumerators complete and truthful replies which the enumerators can use in filling out the printed census schedule carried by them, nor should any attempt be made by any one to cover up the true facts that pertain to each man and woman.

Mr. Robert H. Lucas passed peacefully away at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Minnie L. Wright, 124 S street northwest, on Wednesday, December 24, 1919, at 1:10 a.m. Mr. Lucas, who for the past three years had made his home in New Haven, Conn., returned to this city about a month ago in ill health, and although everything medical skill could do to save him was put forth by the family, it was of no avail. He was born in Washington, D. C., and educated in the public schools.

Jernagin,-as he is known in Oklalioma-as the pastor ‘of a:congre- gation of four hundred, still insists “on remaining mute.-concerning the funds his Race Congress collectéd for the defense. of the late rioters. He gave a banquet on the occasion. of his re- cent- anniversary, and he introduced, a man by. the name of Chase, not thc other. Chase. The Bee remarked the preacher frony Oklahoma and the’ pres ence. of 'Rev.,, Willbanks.. He started out with & tirade against the editor of The Bee. Of course, Jerhagin thought that this ungrammatical ‘speech, of the pennyman of a local. hogwash would divert the attention of the people from ‘the defense fund. But it didn’t. .This tirade made a greater impression , on thos¢ who were present as to what be- eathe of that defense "fund. There were. only. a ‘few ministers present. Not even did’ our good friend, - Dr. ‘Howard, applaud this. hogwash speech. Of course, Jernagin énjoyed it because it was a defense of ‘his defense fund, which he has not yet réported.to the people. It will be a cold day: when the people in this city will ‘subscribe an- other dollar to this so-called Race Con- gress, and’ any ‘man who. attempts to sk the people again’ in the name of this organization; for money, ought tc be rotten-cgged.
