Van Schaick is Trapped DR. VAN SCHAICK ON THE ROCK AS THE BEE REPORT IS CLOSED VOL. XL. NO. 41 Attacks Dr. Thurston—His Testimony Weak—No Proof to Back Up His Assertion—The Present Board fo Education to. Be Legislated Out of Office—A Clean Sweep Predicted. The District Senate room on investigation of the colored schools opened Tuesday morning with a majority of the Parents' League filling the room. President Tanner was there with all of her forces. The league has presented some damaging evidence to the committee against the Board of Education, which be brought out before the trial has ended. The league's attack is principally against Roscoe C. Bruce, the colored assistant superintendent of schools. Dr. Van Schaick Jaunched immediately into his reply to the recent statement of Superintendent Thurston, in which the school board was criticized for the manner in which it conducted the business of the schools. Following his reply to Mr. Thurston's statement, Dr. Van Schaick gave the committee, his ideas concerning the needs of the schools. He laid particular stress upon the necessity of increasing the salaries of the teachers. Good teachers, he said, are of more importance to the pupils than fine buildings. Dr. Van SchaicR pointed out, however, that there is a real need here for additional and improved school buildings. The entire senatorial committee of five was present throughout the morning hearing, four of them being present when Dr. Van Schaick began his statement, Senator Capper, the fifth member, entering a few moments later. Immediately after the committee had convened, Dr. Van Schaick said that he had prepared two statements, one dealing with the question of the superintendency of the schools and the other with the needs of the schools. He asked which the committee desired to hear first. Senator Sherman, chairman of the committee, suggested that as the Senate resolution mentioned the manner of the appointment of the superintendent first, that question should be taken up immediately. The witness then proceeded with the reading of his prepared statement, which continued with little interruption. When Dr. Van Schaick read that one member of the Board of Education who had originally voted to elect Mr. Thurston to the superintendency had later voted against his re-election, Senator Dillingham interrupted to ask who that member was. "Mrs. Gerry," replied the witness. "What was the vote of the board on the first occasion?" asked the Senator. Dr. Van Schaick then said that he would like permission to place in the record the statement made to the board by Mr. Thurston at its last meeting, in which the superintendent attacked the methods of the board. When he had concluded his statement relating to the differences between the board and the superintendent, Senator Henderson referred to the statute under which the school system is organized. "If the board was not satisfied with the work of a superintendent, it could refuse to re-elect him without giving any reason for its action, could it not?" asked the Senator. "Exactly," said the witness. "Did Mr. Thurston deny the right of the board to take such action?" "I don't see how he could have done so, and do not believe he id," said Dr. Van Schaick. "But he denied the propriety of the board's action and challenged what he called a meeting of the board." Taking up the case of Superintendent Thurston, Dr. Van Schaick said to the committee: "What I have done and what my colleagues have done in relation to Mr. Thurston is in the discharge of a duty which devolves upon us under the law of Congress. "The law governing the schools provides: "1. That the control of the public schools shall be in a board of educa- The Washington Bee "2. That the board shall have the right to determine all questions of general policy relating to the schools. "3. That the board shall appoint a superintendent for a term of three years. "4. That the board shall have the power to remove the superintendent for inefficiency and other causes." It will be shown in the investigation why Superintendent Thurston did not recommend the removal of Bruce. He knew that Dr. Van Schaick would not permit it. He wanted Thurston and not Bruce, and the colored people did not care for Bruce and the white board did not want Thurston. The abolition of the Board of Education is predicted. DR. VAN SCHAICK TRAPPED. The Senate investigating committed resumed its sessions Wednesday morning, with President John Van Schaick in the witness chair. The president of the Board of Education stated why he held star-chamber meetings at his home. He stated that he wanted to improve the condition of the school, when his testimony showed that he very seldom visited the schools. When the hearing started Wednesday, Senator Harrison began to question Dr. Van Schaick regarding his appointment as a member of the Board of Education and his election as president of the board. Dr. Van Schaick said that he was appointed a member of the board July 1, 1916, and that he was elected president at the organization meeting in July. He said that he was re-elected president in July, 1919, after he had returned from Europe. While he was away, the board elected George E. Hamilton president. "What was the vote by which you were elected president in 1916," asked Senator Harrison. "The vote was 5 to 4,55 replied Dr. Van Schaick. He said that Ernest H. Daniel, formerly vice-president of the board, had been his opponent. "You really sought the place, then?" suggested Senator Harrison. "It would be more proper to say that members of the board asked me to permit them to nominate me," was the reply. "Did you seek appointment as a member of the Board of Education?" asked Senator Harrison. "I did not," replied Dr. Van Schaick. "I was much surprised when I saw the appointment announced in the newspapers." Dr. Van Schaick insisted that he did not make an effort to have himself appointed. "Aside from your qualifications, how did your appointment come about?" asked Senator Harrison. "I was known to have an interest in civic affairs," was the reply. Dr. Van Schaick said that he had known prior to his appointment all five judges of the District Supreme Court, the appointing body. He said that he knew particularly well Justices Stafford, Siddons and Hitz. "Did you have any business relations with any of them?" Dr. Van Schaick was asked. "I had consulted Justice Siddons on a legal matter some years before," was the reply. Senator Harrison wanted to know if the court was unanimous in making his appointment. "I do not know," answered Dr. Van Schaick. "You thought that you would make a better president of the board than Mr. Daniel?" asked Senator Harrison: "Yes," replied Dr. Van Schaick, after a little hesitation. "Members of the board had told me they thought it would be a good thing to have a little new blood in the management." In reply to a question as to who voted for him, Dr. Van Schaick said: "Beside myself, Mrs. Gerry, Mrs. Rhodes, Mr. Peyton and Dr. Johnson. Those who voted against me were Mr. Galliher, Mr. Daniel, Mr. Larner and Mrs. Cook." "Pretty close competition," said Senator Harrison. "Did you solicit votes?" WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920 "No, I did not," was the reply. "You really wanted to be president?" asked Senator Harrison. "Yes," said Dr. Van Schaick. In reply to a question, he insisted that he had made no promises to anyone as to what he would do if elected president. "These questions are not intended to be antagonistic, Dr. Van Schaick," said Senator Harrison, "but are merely to clear up matters that are traveling in the wind." The president of the Board of Education practically admitted that he knew nothing about the curriculum in the city schools or the janitor service, and yet he wanted the Superintendent of Schools removed to better their condition. REPUBLICANS TO ORGANIZE. Twenty-two District Will Elect Officers. The local Republicans in the District of Columbia have begun to organize their forces. The first Republican organization was perfected in the Ninth district last Monday night. This is one of the most quiet districts in the city of Washington. The Republicans of Trinidad, Bladensburg Road, were organized Thursday night with John Ware as president. Other district organizations will be perfected next week under the direction of the United Republican Club. Resolutions were adopted denouncing the lily-white Republican Central Committee, which does not represent the Republican party in this city and never has. The original Republican Central Committee was recommended to the Republicans in the twenty-two districts. NEVAL H. THOMAS. He Contradicts Senator Reed Smoot. Claims That He Did Report—Will He Be Removed at the End of His School Term? Editor of The Bee: I cannot let go unchallenged the statement of Senator Reed Smoot, published in your last issue, that he did not report me to the school authorities for arranging a large mass meeting for the brilliant editors of the Messenger. It does me such gross injustice that I am forced to ask you to give this letter the same publicity that you gave that of the Senator. If Senator Smoot will consult his files of January 19th he will find that he did report me, and said that a "loyal colored man" had given him the information. The complaint reached school headquarters the morning of the day that I was to preside at the meeting, and I was questioned about it. I explained my attitude in the matter, and declared my helm carrying on the business. intention of presiding and speaking, here, the Evening Star, carried an ac-which I did. The leading white daily count of the effort to restrain me in the issue of January 22nd. Senator Smoot says in his reply that he does not even know me. That makes his interference all the more inexplicable, for, without knowing me, he accepted the report of a Negro renegade, indicted and tried me, rendered judgment and passed sentence without my ever dreaming that he was thinking of me. The only part I, the accused, was to play was in the execution. Although I knew and know that he is a powerful Senator, able to do me and mine much harm, should he choose, I could not surrender my rights in the matter and submit to autocratic procedure. The Senator should know that our race, like his own, has traitors as well as patriots, and that any Negro who is base enough to report one for standing for the rights of his people is base enough to lie. Hence, he should not call such "bootlickers" and vengeance seekers "loyal colored men." I need not explain to any colored America nthat one who holds a posi- tion controlled by white people, as mine is, puts his all in jeopardy when he dares to fight the numberless discriminations we are suffering in this country we have served so well. I can feel the forces closing in on me now. Several white citizens have asked my removal because I recently made a speech, which was given wide publicity, in which I advised armed resistance to mob aggression. Several Negroes who are afraid to even ask for equal school facilities for colored youth have openly boasted that I am to be removed the last of this year. If I am it can only be said that I am the victim of the unbearable Southern autocracy that is entrenched here, and not for lack of efficiency as an educator. I have made extensive preparation for teaching, and entered it eighteen years ago as a life work, and I have been passed upon favorably by a number of competent educators. Regardless of risks of personal fortunes, whether in the school system or out, I shall continue to attack every wrong this great race is suffering. I am anxious to cooperate with Senator Smoot, or with any, other American, who is willing to put the merit system back into civil service, so that the bright young Negro youth of the land will not have their little souls soured every time they make application to serve their government. Yes, I wish that when manly colored men go before a congressional committee or the Supreme Court of the United States, they can have a lunchon in the public cafe at the Capitol, the common property of us all, a privilege accorded to the unworthiest white man in the world. This new discrimination was made at the very hour that brave black boys were dying in the trenches of France. A good deal was said about a book being placed in the library of Howard, but precious little about the savage mob that went there last summer. The little book was doing our race much harm, but the mob was evidently an efficient educational agency. Remember, Mr. Editor, when you come to Washington to aid in some constructive piece of legislation, do not go to your own lunch room in yur own Capitol. Bring your lunch in your pocket.

One of Washington's Leading Physicians Dies Suddenly—Many People Attend His Funeral. Dr. George, Williamson Cahaniss, of 1744 K street northwest, died suddenly early Sunday morning. The preceding evening he had read a paper at Howard University and up to a late hour was engaged in the active practice, of his profession. He retired about midnight apparently in perfect health. His wife was aroused about an hour later to find him suffering from severe abdominal pain. He left his bedroom for his office downstairs to secure medicine. When returning, he reached the first landing, where he fell and expired in a few minutes. His death was due to acute failure of the heart following acute indigestion. Few men have had so useful and varied a career as Dr. Cabaniss. His influence for good was not limited to his profession, his people nor his community. He was held in the highest esteem by the medical profession throughout the country, and he was actively engaged in religious, civil and social work. Dr. Cabaniss was born in Halifax county, Va., in 1857, spent his early life on the farm, entered what is now Virginia Union University, completing the course in 1886, and graduated in medicine at Howard University in 1890. Since graduation he was actively engaged in the practice of his profession in the District of Columbia, except while pursuing post-graduate work at Bellevue Hospital and in Paris and in London, and as a Y. M. C. A. worker during the World War. He was first among the Y. M. C. A. secretaries and was rightly called dean of the "Y" men 1 [Name] DR. GEORGE W.

More than twenty-five consecutive months of service and fatherly interest in the men gained for him. the sobriquet "Pop." He was a life member of the International. Congress on Tuberculosis, a member of the board of directors of the Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis of the District of Columbia, a member of the executive board and ex-president of the National Medical Association, treasurer and ex-president of the Medico-Chirurgical Society, a director of the Twelfth street branch of the Y. M. C. A. and of the Alley Improvement Association. He was a Mason and an Odd Fellow; also a member of many charitable, benevolent and fraternal organizations and a deacon of Berean Baptist Church. Dr. Cabaniss was one of Washington's leading colored citizens and was a factor in every movement for the betterment of the whole community and its people. He was buried from the Berean Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Many of the leading citizens of Washington paid honor to this distinguished physician.

Following the lead of the Raleigh Hotel here, the Fort Pitt Hotel at Pittsburgh, Pa., has installed colored service in the dining rooms. Fort Pitt is one of the most reputable hotels in the State. The change is but a starter, for others—the hotel magnates who have their money invested in the hotel and restaurant business have issued orders to their various managers to cut down expenses in order to make up for the saloon receipts and heavy taxes that have been placed and might at any time be increased upon the hotels. Thus the colored waiter has been called upon the scene, and the colored jazz musician is on his way from the Sunny South, not as a strike breaker, but to be placed permanently. James H. Harris, who was reported in, a wreck at Waves Creek, Ga., while on duty in the dining car, is improving rapidly at the Petersburg Hospital, Petersburg, Va., after a slight operation.

Lincoln, Md.-The, colored citizens of the subdivisions of Lincoln and Buena Vista, in Prince George county, Maryland, at the intersection of the Washington and Annapolis public highway and the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis electric railway, are in the midst of an aggressive drive to secure better school facilities for this thriving community of industrious and enterprising people, representing different vocations and professions, and they are meeting with very commendable success. Nearly one hundred families reside within and around this community, and more than that number of persons of school age live within easy reach of Lincoln, many of whom are being sent to the schools of Washington and Baltimore to begin their education, the ficalities here being so meager and inadequate. The present school house, which is old and poorly furnished, and stands a mile back in the woods, will not seat more than twenty-five children, while the actual enrollment is forty-five, and several children do not attend school at all. The citizens, failing to secure any assurance from the school authorities of better school conditions in the near future, recently organized themselves into what is known as the Lincoln-Buena Vista Community Club, to raise funds for a new school, and elected as their officers Isaiah T. Hatton, president; Mrs. Viola Jones, secretary; Frank W. Holland; treasurer; Attorney T. J. Calloway and Rev. P. A. Scott as community delegate and general solicitor. This club, by a number of special entertainments, donations, and subscriptions, has secured in cash and subscriptions nearly $1,500. As the result of this splendid exhibition of self-help and aggressive leadership the county school board and county commissioners have appropriated for a new school the sum of $5,000, and the citizens are making strenuous efforts to raise the fund to $15,000, and erect a five or six room school building, with all modern equipment; and establish a first-class graded school and community center. Two acres of ground, centrally located, have been donated for a school site, and many prominent citizens throughout the State of Maryland and in the District of Columbia are becoming interested in the splendid project and giving material aid. Dr. P. A. Scott, who has recently become a citizen of this community, and who has a wide experience in educational and religious work and general race uplift, is meeting with splendid success in securing funds and building materials for the new school, and is eagerly soliciting the assistance and cooperation of all persons who are interested in race development and a better trained citizenry. His address is Glendale, Md., and all checks should be made payable to Frauk W. Holland, treasurer. HELPFUL THOUGHTS THE WEEK. Saturday Thou madst him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet.—Ps. 8.6: My joys to Thee I bring, The joys Thy love hath given, That each may be a wing To lift me nearer to heaven. I bring them, Saviour, all to Thee, For Thou hast purchased all for me. Sunday All sheep and oxen, yea and the beasts of the field; the fowl of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the depths of the seas—Ps. 8:7, 8: My life I bring to Thee, I would not be my own; O Saviour; let me be Thine ever, Thine alone. My heart, my life, my all I bring To Thee, my Saviour and my Kingl Monday. For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise; saith the Lord; I will set hif in safety from him that puffeth at him.—Ps. 12:5: abroad, The love, the eternal love of God! earth purified seven times.—Ps. 12:6: The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of Unnumbered myriads stand Of Seraphs bright and fair, Or bow at Thy right hand, And pay their homage there; But strive in vain with loudest chord To sound Thy wonderful love, O Lord! Wednesday. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord; Thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever.—Ps. 12:7: Though earth and hell assail, And doubts and fears arise, The weakest shall prevail, And grasp the heavenly prize, And through endless ages record Thy love, Thy changeless love, O Lord! Thursday: Lord, who shall abide in Thy tab- ernacle? Who shall dwell in Thy holy hill?—Ps. 15:1: Father, let me taste Thy love; Saviour, fill my soul with peace; Spirit, come my heart to move; Father, Son and Spirit, bless! Father, Son and Spirit, Thou One Jehovah, shed abroad All Thy grave within me now— Be my Father and my God! Friday. worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.—Ps. 15:2: He comes to cheer the trembling heart, Bids Satan and his host depart; Again the Daystar gilds the gloom, Again the bowers of Eden bloom. O Zion, lift Thy raptured eye; The long expected hour is nigh: The joys of nature rise again, The Prince of Salem comes to reign! DR. WILBANKS OUT. The World Evangelist Attends Services at Church—The Great Link. Dr. Alexander Wilbanks, the world's evangelist, is greatly improved, to the extent that he was able to attend one service at his church Sunday, which caused a great rejoicing. A great crowd of members and sympathetic friends were on hand to greet the man who fell on the battlefield in a great campaign in Philadelphia, and who has been absent from his church for seven Sundays, not having his foot inside of the church during this long period. When he arrived he was escorted up the aisle by two officers of the church, preceded by the entire usher board, who marched two by two, making a way through the great crowd. It was, indeed, an epoch in the history of the church, because of the fact that the members had been praying so long, and waiting so patiently for the return of their pastor, and that God had blessed him to come back to his church once more. It was a scene which will not soon be forgotten. Many persons congratulated him, and told him how they had sought God in fervent prayer for the restoration of his health. The evangelist did not preach, but the audience requested that he say a word. After making a few announcements, he expressed how glad he was to be in the church and to meet the members and friends, and thanked them for their prayers. And he asked the choir to sing the song that followed him through his illness, and that comforted his heart when he was away in Philadelphia, when no one was allowed to see him but the nurse and the doctor. The song was "God Will Take Care of You." The choir was led by Prof. Kelly and the whole audience stood and joined in. The evangelist broke down in tears and many people through the audience wiped tears of joy, this song of comfort wa sssu g. The great revival conducted by Sister Isabella Bundy, the great woman evangelist, is still going on each evening. Great crowds are in attendance and many souls are being brought to God. Backsliders are being reclaimed and slackers are being rounded up and are renewing their covenant. The members, are being edified and the devil is being given a black eye and cold feet through the preaching of this great woman every evening at 8 o'clock. Come and bring your friends. Y. M. C. A.

C., MARCH 13, 1920 - “NEGRO ASSOCIATED’ PRESS.” It is a pity when any colored news service, supposed to send out news impartially, permits itself to be influenced by politics. The Negro Associated Press, which gave hope of developing a fine-néws service, and which was doing commendably well, is now neglecting that service in order to’ send out political dope for candidates, the managers of the service getting a nice rake-off, at the expense of the papers they serve, when the papers, unwittingly, print the stuff. We say to the Negro Associated. Press—stick to, your knitting and cease’ dabbling in politics. Any other. course will invite discredit not only. from the colored newspapers, but from colored readers as well. A word to the wise’ is: sufficient.

Baltimore Office: Baltimore Stock Exchange Building The hat-in-hand colored professionals may be seen at any time carrying law books and handbags of certain white members of the bar. These hat-in-hand individuals are welcomed by the white members of the bar, while the manly attorney is not so popular. These hat-in-hand individuals are often seen hobnobbing with those, seemingly in authority. They would like to represent the District of Columbia in the National Republican Convention. If it were left with the people, they would not secure a sufficient number of votes to devour a six-course hash dinner. Why is it that some of the colored insurance companies that collect money from colored people to enable them to exist are often seen depositing their money in white banks? I must take my hat off to the Virginia insurance companies that have branches in this city. They collect from colored people and they deposit their money in colored banks. The Southern Aid Society of Richmond, Va., has invaded this city, and at the northeast corner of Seventh and T streets northwest this society is erecting a four-story brick building, and its architect is a colored man by the name of Hatton. The workmen are all colored, and the money of this society is deposited in colored banks. This is what I call real race pride. There are one hundred thousand colored people in this city, and there is no excuse for this colored population not to support this insurance company. The best way to teach colored people a lesson, or those of them who have so much faith in other institutions that are inimical to them, is to support the Southern Aid. I don't mean that we should not deposit in banks controlled by white men. I mean that we should deposit in any bank that is friendly disposed toward the colored people, and not those that are opposed to them. It is surprising to see the number of colored citizens who deposit in white banks, and these same individuals are the loudest to advocate race pride. I stopped at the corner of Seventh and K streets last Saturday morning and priced the oranges the street vender had in his cart. I was informed that the oranges were five cents apiece, and they were as large as a good-sized hen's egg. At the corner of Seventh and Florida avenue northwest, at the Sanitary Store, there were oranges twice as large for 25 cents a half dozen. This store pays rent twice as much per month as this vender pays for his license a year. Of course, we must cease advocating race pride if we can't compete with the white man. If you want to see the "jim-crow" colored brother, go in the vicinity of Seventh and M streets, or from Seventh and K north, and watch the "jim-crow" colored brethren and sisters standing in line for tickets to enter the "jim-crow" movies. There is only one theatre in the vicinity of Seventh above N—the Mid-City—where there is no "jim-crow" colored brother. The Mid-City is owned and managed by that versatile theatrical producer, S. H. Dudley, who gives the people in that vicinity their money's worth. Then there are the Greek hash houses that are crowded daily with the cheap-meal eaters. Strange that these Greeks dump their shops right in the midst of colored residents, and these hash-eaters think that they are eating at the Hotel Astor. Don't bother these hash-eaters. On Fourteenth street and Rhode Island and avenue to You street northwest there are several high-class colored eating places, but the "jim-crow" colored individual would rather be seen seated upon a high chair in one of these Greek hash houses, eating that cheap food—no telling how long it has been out of cold storage. In a few days The Sage will take a snapshot of one of these Greek hash houses and compare it with one of the up-to-date places conducted by colored individuals. As a matter of fact, some of us love to be "jim-crowed." I dropped into Dan Freeman's the other day to have a new picture taken but my friend was too busy to talk. Dan Freeman is making so much money that he hasn't time to count it. He only knows what goes out, but never what comes in. He knows this much, however, that he never plays a losing game, except when he is too busy to eat his meals. He never arises until 10 a. m., and breakfasts at 11 a. m. Then, if he has eaten, he will come downstairs and take your "mug"—if it justifies him. Dan is some artist. I was seated in Wood's Cafe a few days ago and a railroad porter came in and began to discuss the merits of Wood's place and that'of Graves'. One said that he would bet a quart of crabapples to doenuts that Graves has more railroad porters than Wood. Of course, Mr. Wood got very interested in the discussion, and he asked the porter that was boosting the Graves' house how he would convince him that Mr. Graves had more porters visiting his house than Wood. "That is dead easy," remarked the traveling representative of the Porters' Union. They both took a good cigar on Wood and promised to let him know in the next issue of The Sage. Speaking of Graves and Wood, both of these men do certainly feed you. You will get your money's worth at either place, and don't you forget it. Graves has hot bread daily and so does Wood. Wood has hot pies and so does Graves. If they continue in business, Graves will own G street, while Wood will have a mortgage on H street northeast. Both are afable men, and one never talks against the other. They both are doing well. Neval Thomas and Charles M. Thomas are both hot-air artists. Both are superficial advocates of false theories, and if anybody will point out just one thing either has accomplished since the flood I will tell you what was in the brain of Henry E. Barker at the time of the collapse of the building association in which he played such an important part. "JIM-CROW CARS." Work of the Committee Before Congress—Attorney Murray—Rail Bill Satisfactory to Colored People. The signing of the rail bill by President Wilson brings to a successful close a year of vigorous campaigning against discriminatory accommodations for colored people on common carriers. The colored American Council, formed last year at the suggestion of friendly congressmen who desired to have a local organization in touch with colored thought with which they could confer on matters affecting the colored race, has been largely instrumental in accomplishing important legal reforms which will, if properly taken advantage of, be far reaching in their effect on the "jim-crow" car system of the Southern States. "While not accomplishing the Council's maximum program of eliminating all possibility of discrimination by providing for identical accommodations; I do not see at this time how the 'jim-crow' car system can long withstand the attacks which the Council will make upon it," said Mr. George H. Murray, general counsel for the organization, to a representative of The Bee yesterday. "The chief danger now will lie in the attempts of persons not familiar with the detailed changes in the law to bring ill-timed and ill-considered actions against the carriers before an improper tribunal." The Council whose affairs are directed by Henry Lassiter, L. M. Hershaw, Daniel Murray, Virgil P. Franklin, Justice E. M. Hewlett, Walter J. Singleton, Morrissey Koontz J. E. Johnson and George H. Murray, began its work with the preparation of H. R. No. 376 (known as the Madden Bill) by its general counsel. This bill, after being approved by the Council and Congressman Madden, was introduced in the House by the latter and referred to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. Copies of the bill were sent broadcast through the country seeking the critical opinion of the persons affected thereby. Encouraged by the unanimous wave of approval which the bill met, the Council, through Congressman Madden and Chairman Esch of the House Interstate Commerce Committee, arranged a hearing before the committee upon the proposition to make the bill and amendment to Title 4 of the pending rail bill, then in process of making. The hearing took place on September 5, 1919. Appearing at that time for the Council were Hon. Martin B. Madden, Mr. George H. Murray, Arthur W. Mitchell, Lieut. Thomas M. M. Gregory, Capt. Louis B. Mehlinger and Edwin B. Henderson. The powerful case put in at the time against the "jimcrow" car reacted very strongly upon the White South, whose lobbyists immediately set to work to counteract its effect. It is said, in this connection, that a plan of the Southern lobbyists to bring five prominent Negroes before the committee to oppose the amendment was frustrated by the simple device of advancing the date of the hearing from September 9 to September 5. In order to relieve Southern tension Chairman Esch gave out on September 9 to the Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution his now famous interview indicating the extent to which the committee was willing to go in remedial legislation. But this newspaper interview did not preclude his bringing the whole matter before the subcommittee charged with preparing the rail bill. One Republican and the Democratic mem- bers of the subcommittee combined to defeat the proposal to include it in the rail bill. Chairman Esch and Hon. Edward L, Hamilton of Michigan, a newly discovered friend of the colored race, voted in the affirmative. No record vote was taken in the full commerce committee on sustaining the majority vote against the amendment in the subcommittee. When the rail, bill was brought into the House, Chairman Esch informed Mr. Madden, who was greatly disappointed at the omission of his matter, that he had sought to weave the substance of its provisions into the text of the bill. Not satisfied, however, to trust the committee amendments to the treacherous sands of general debate, Mr. Madden carried the proposition to the floor. After attempts to avoid a straight vote by the point of order route had been frustrated by Congressman Walsh of Massachusetts, presiding in the committee of the whole, who ruled the amendment in order over the determined protest of Congressman Barkley of Kentucky, Democratic member of the subcommittee framing the bill, the amendment was defeated by a vote of 143 to 12, many Northern Republicans joining with the Solid South. Three of the twelve affirmative votes were Northern Democrats. In view of the fact that the Council had been led to believe by Republican leaders that the amendment would receive general party support, the adverse vote came as a distinct surprise. The response of the colored race was immediate and unmistakably bitter. Every agency of the colored race was brought into play to support the amendment in the Senate, where Senator Joseph I. France had introduced it to allay the intense feeling. Here it was again rejected, but no record was made of the vote. Pressure was maintained upon the conferees by the officials of the Council, and when the conference report was brought in, a further effort was made by Congressman Madden and Congressman Riddick, in case the conference report was rejected, to secure a recommendation from the House according to an amendment prepared by Mr. Murray; limiting the operating expense which the Interstate Commerce Commission might lawfully include in rate and fare making so as to exclude the cost of operating "jim-crow" cars. In the interim Mr. Murray took a hand in the wage controversy between the railroad administration and the railway employees, by laying before the conferees the elimination of the "jim-crow" car as a source of additional wages. This phase of the matter was also laid before President Wilson. The adoption of the conference report on the rail bill ended the campaign of the Council in connection with the rail bill, and having the Madden Bill still pending in committee, it will now take up the work of getting it reported. The work of the Council is accomplished largely through private conferences with members of the House and Senate. Little or no publicity is given to its work in order to forestall hostile newspaper criticism. Frequent parties to these conferences DR. W. L. SMITH'S INDIGES TION CURE.

Green of Massachusetts, chairman of the Republican Caucus Committee, and Browning of New Jersey. Up to this time personal subscriptions of the members of the Council have financed the work with supplementary aid obtained from one or two local churches by Justices Terrell and Hewlett and Mr. Murray. Specific amendments secured by the Council and Congressman Madden, or supported by them, are seven in number. The first clarifies the ambiguity of Section 1 of the commerce and provides for just and reasonable fares and charges. The second extends car service act (approved May 27, 1917) to passenger traffic and requires carriers of passengers to furnish safe and adequate car service. The third makes unlawful discriminatory fares over connecting carriers. The fourth is aimed at weakening the political influence of the States over carriers by permissive consolidation under rules of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the fifth extends the jurisdiction of the I. C. C. over discriminatory intrastate and interstate fares which are discriminatory, or likely to be so. The sixth provides a new tribunal free from State control THE TWENTIETH CENTURY LAUNDRY & CLEANING CO Presents to the Citizens of Washington the Realization of a Dream of Fifty Years-A First-Class Steam Laundry and Wholesale Cleaning Business Operated by Negro Capital and Labor. The proposition is to organize a steam laundry capitalized at $50,000, divided into 5,000 shares at $10 each, payable at the rate of $12.50 per share, the $2.50 being for expenses and surplus. With a population of about 450,000, a third of same being colored, there is no reason why this should not prove a gilt-edged investment. This business will be one of the first to come into direct competition, with several large laundries operating exclusively with colored labor. It will practically command the work of ten thousand colored householders and expects one-tenth of the turnover work from other laundries; thus the average work from colored people being about 50 cents per week, a net income of $150,000 per year can be counted on from that source, which, with the turnover from the other laundries, amounting to something like $75,000 per year, this business bids fair to pay from its beginning, as it has been estimated that not more than $30,000 will be required to run the business the first year. Another fact that should make this an attractive business is that the best laundry workers in the city are colored. This concern promises to employ the best colored help obtainable by paying the highest wages and salaries. Not less than thirty young people will be employed the first year. The president, Mr. Charles L. Foster, a former instructor in machinery in one of our best industrial schools, has made a splendid success of the cleaning and pressing business, and has, therefore, provided for a wholesale, cleaning and pressing business in connection with the laundry, with several branches about the city. Those connected with this business have freely estimated that a fair share of this business by our concern should net at least $20,000 per year. The incorporators are in touch with the most expert laundry workers in the city and will adopt only the most approved methods that will bear out the name of the Twentieth Century Laundry and Cleaning Company. Stock can be bought from any of the incorporators and agents. Books are now open at the office of the secretary, 101 K Street N. W., Washington, D.

Amendment seven touches the Cummins proposal for the creation of rate zones. Through Congressmen Madden the Council had advance information, long before the rail bill was formed that this proposal had strong congressional support. This will localize the cost of the "jim-crow" system in the South and at the same time deprive carriers of the argument of unreasonable cost of equal separate accommodations. In addition to getting the Madden Bill reported out, the Council's program calls for a vigorous campaign of enforcement of the commerce act as amended by the rail bill. JURY DISAGREES. In the United States branch of the Police Court last week Willie Bowie was tried on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. The complaining witness was Miss Evelyn Brooks, granddaughter of Rev. Walter H Brooks. After the case had been submitted to the jury, after arguments by the prosecution and Attorney Hayes, the son of the late James H. Hayes, who made a fine defense, the jury, after two hours or more deliberation, reported a hopeless disagreement. The court discharged them. 10 Did you ever wonder why some people have power to accomplish almost anything they undertake and others—yourself, maybe—failed in everything?

I found Lizette in the garden, When the moon was dropping low And asked her the old, old question, And received the old, old "No!" I found her again by the seashore, In the sunset's fading glow, And asked her the usual question, And received the usual "No!" I asked Lizette that question In every time and place That seemed at all propitious; 'Twas "Nol" in every case. I found Lizette by the roadside, With a tire badly punctured In the glare of an August noon, And an engine out of tune. And as I sprang to help her— 'Twas habit: nothing less— I asked the same old question, And Lizette replied, "Yes, yes!" MASONIC NEWS. Henderson's Commandery will do the N.

La Grange, / Ky., March 8.—Although Kentucky women will not get full suffrage this year, but will vote in the presidential election, Negro women have already entered politics. This is the first time in the history of the South when Negro women have taken any apparent interest in politics. When the Seventh Congressional District Republican delegates met here preparatory to the State convention, among them was Annie Simms Banks, of Winchester, Ky., one of the delegation from Clark county, who not only took part in the proceedings, but was appointed a member of the rules committee, and as such helped to prepare the report submitted to the State convention. She was referred to whenever it became necessary as "the lady from Clark," and was accorded as much courtesy as any other delegate.

Manager Vincent Thomas was determined to get rid of that young noisy element that made it unpleasant for the patrons of the Howard Theatre. That old-time noisy school element has been eliminated and it is now as quiet as a prayer meeting on all occasions at this popular playhouse. No noisy element is allowed to twist at any of the performances in this theatre. Manager Thomas is all smiles now. Last Monday evening, when standing room was at a premium, the absence of the noisy element made surrounding enjoyable. The patrons of the theatre are pleased, and Manager Thomas, who is preparing to spring a surprise, is the happiest man in the neighborhood. There is no more noise at Howard, so bring your children and come yourselves. WASHINGTON VISITOR POPULAR AMONG FRIENDS. (From the East Tennessee News.) No sooner than the many local friends of Hon. Joseph M. Trigg, popular Washington visitor, and at one time Alderman of the Fifth ward, learned of his presence in the city than social affairs were planned in his honor, and during his stay of a few days he was the recipient of many delightful courtesies. He was entertained while here at Batchelor Headquarters occupied by Drs. Charles MacGhee, John Hanes and Cal MacGhee. On last Thursday evening he was the guest of Editor Porter of The News, at supper. On Friday evening Dr. J. F. King was host at a delightfully prepared supper honoring Mr. Trigg. W. C.

Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to all organs and parts of the body, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine and spinal cord. Strain, weakness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in the organs which get their nerve supply from that section of the cord, be it the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, howels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs. Osteopathic treatment corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord and nerves, regulates the circulation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest.
