SCHOOL RING EXISTS ATTORNEY FOUNTAIN PEYTON DECLARES THAT A RING EXISTS IN THE SCHOOLS. VOL. XL. NO. 45 SCH ATTORNEY FOUND CLARES THAT A THE SCHOOLS. THE SCHOOL INVESTIGATION Attorney Peyton Declared That a Clique Is Running the School—The Deanwood Investigation Aired—The Late Miss Jane M. Cropper Vindicated—Attorney. Peyton Said That He Signed the Report Vindicating Cardoza Without Reading, and Since Learned. That the Charges Against Him Were Substantiated—Miss Mattie Shedd, R. C. Bruce and Mrs. Ida R. Richardson Made the Report Exonerating Cardoza in Face of Facts Galliher Defends Dr. Thurston. Attorney Fountain Peyton, a member of the Board of Education, testified before the Senate investigating committee on the public schools last week. Among other things, Mr. Peyton testified that Mr. Thurston was handicapped by Dr. Van Schaick; that there was no question of Mr. Thurston's qualifications until Dr. Van Schaick was appointed on the Board of Education; that Peyton was asked to sign a unanimous report exonerating R. C. Bruce, which he refused to do; that Dr. Van Schaick came to his office and asked him to vote for him for president of the board; that a clique is running the schools; that it was strange that all the white people are satished with Mr. Thurston and two-thirds of the colored people are opposed to Bruce; that he had signed the Cardozo report of exoneration because Mr. Learned brought it to him; that he had never read the report, and he had never learned that the charges against him were true. "Why did you sign such a report?" asked Senator Harrison. Mr. Peyton: "Because Mr. Learned brought it to me." Senator Harrison: "Don't you see that you made a mistake by signing the report without reading it?" Mr. Peyton further testified that those people who are in favor of Bruce have been rewarded, and those who were opposed to him have been given no consideration whatever. There was no dissatisfaction with Dr. Thurston in the white schools until Dr. Van Schaick came on the Board of Education. ' If Dr. John Van Schaick, president of the Board of Education, had not interfered with the duties of Superintendent of Schools Ernest L. Thurston, there would not have been a Senate investigation of the public schools, William T. Galliher, former member of the board, told the Senate select committee on schools. Mr. Galliher declared that the schools are "suffering from too much management," and that Dr. Van Schaick has embarrassed the administration of the superintendent's office. "Dr. Van Schaick, in my opinion, has not helped the schools one iota, since he became a member of the Board of Education," he added. Speaks for Superintendent. Henry P. Blair, former president of the board, testified that Superintendent Thurston was an efficient superintendent. Both Mr. Galliher and Mr. Blair declared that they were surprised when they were not re-elected to the board. It was Mr. Blair -whom Dr. Van Schajck succeeded as president. A "heated argument" which took place between Mr. Galliher and Dr. Van Schaick shortly after the latter's election as president of the board, was described by Mr. Galliher when pressed by members of the Senate committee. Spoke Bluntly to Van Schaick. "Dr. Van Schaick's attitude toward Superintendent Thurston became apparent to me within a short time," declared the former board member. When this situation became more acute, I went to see Dr. Van Schaick and asked him bluntly if he came to the board with an open mind or to do the bidding of someone else." Dr. Van Schaick said that his mind The Washington Bee Congressional was open, but that he thought Thurston was not large enough for the school system, Mr. Galliher went on. The board president, he said, grew angry, remarking that "he supposed it was the opinion of Mr. Galliher that he was a consummate ass" and threatening to report Galliher's "attack" to the District Supreme Court. "I told him that he could tell the judges if he so desired, called his attention to the fact that the appointing judges, however, are powerless to remove board members, and offered to repeat my statement to his stenographer for reproduction in the press. About a month later he told me that he had decided not to pursue the matter further." May Have Been Moodish. Mr. Galliher explained previous to this statement that Dr. Van Schaick may have been in one of his peculiar moods, referred to several times during the present hearings. The witness said that he had voted for Ernest H. Daniel for board president in 1916, and that he was much surprised to see Dr. Van Schaick elected to the position. GOES TO CHARLESTON, S. C. Mr. G. D. Brock, who for the past fifteen months has served as physical director of the Twelfth street branch of the Y. M. C. A. has recently accepted the position as executive secretary of the Cannon Street branch of the Y. M. C. A., of Charleston, S. C. Mr. Brock is a graduate of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., and has had three years of association work. He first qualified for foreign service in British East Africa, but America's entry into the war prohibited his sailing. He served as a secretary during the war both in the camps and the shipbuilding industry. Mr. Brock is a conscientious worker. He has made many friends here in Washington, who deeply regret to part with him, but who also wish for him glowing success in the work he undertakes. So far as can be ascertained, Mr. Brock is the youngest colored executive in the work. THE LILY WHITES. Again in the Limelight—Mississippi Republicans for Perry Howard. To the Colored Republicans, North, East and West: The Mississippi State Republican Convention, on April 1, 1920, unanimously instructed me for National Republican Committee for the State of Mississippi for the next four years. Each and all of the eight Congressional District Conventions also instructed for me for National Committee. But there is a handful of "lily-whites" with three or four colored men, who are doing their bidding, who are threatening to hold another pretended convention to defeat my confirmation by the National Committee by trumping up a trivial contest. Now, at our state and district conventions there were about as many colored as white, and we elected just about the same number of colored delegates to the National Convention. At our state convention we had represented eighty out of eighty-two of the counties of the state. I was not elected National Committee man merely by my own people, but I was elected by conventions made up of both colored and white Republicans. Now disbanding this fact, this handful of "lily-whitees" will go before the National Committee at Chicago and seek to unset me because of my racial identity, and the only weapon that they hope to use in this effort is the fact that they are white men. I want to appeal to you to send representatives to see the National Committee man of your respective states and urge him to see to it that we are given a square deal. I have a delegation of nineteen men representative of the best WASHINGTON, D.C.SATURDAY, APRIL 10,1920 white Republicans and colored Republicans of the State of Mississippi—men of wealth, of character, of attainment and other essentials and prerequisites to good citizenship. I appeal to you to not allow us to be slaughtered at the hands of those who place color above party and greed for office above justice. We who are toiling and sacrificing here in the Southland commit our fate into the hands of you and believe that you will protect us. MASONIC NEWS. Meridian Lodge, No. 6, conferred the E.

The Forced Retirement of the Efficient Ones Shocks Community. To the Editor of The Bee: We read with alarm in a previous issue of The Bee of the effort that was made to retire from our school system some of the very best individuals who have by their ability and high moral example, held the school system together, thereby preventing their utter collapse at this period of great unrest. It is common rumor that their successors had been selected from teachers of inferior ability. If this be true in this age of turmoil, it is well that the strong hand of Congress rests upon the school system, from which pressure we hope that the dove of peace may be born in the schools and live forever. Citizens' Bureau. Resolution Requesting Return. Resolution Requesting Return. Whereas it has come to the attention of the Parents' League that Dr. W. S. Montgomery, Dr. Lucy E. Moten, Mr. J. C. Nalle and Miss Harriet Riggs are to be retired from the school system; and Whereas Dr. Montgomery, through his ripe scholarship and sound judgment, is needed in the present state of unrest in the schools; that Dr. Moten, a professional training teacher of national reputation, is still full of mental and physical vigor; that Mr. J. C. Nalle, whose experience and tact have kept harmony among his teachers, and Miss Harriet Riggs, whose ability and integrity of character have never been questioned; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Parents' League, Resolved, That the Parents' League, in mass meeting assembled, requests the retention of these teachers, all of whom are in full physical vigor, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Superintendent Thurston, and the members of the Senate committee now investigating the public schools of the District of Columbia. WILL H. HAYES FACES RACE QUESTION. By Edgar G. Brown. Indianapolis, Ind., March 5.—Will H. Hayes, chairman of the National Republican Committee, in Chicago, before the Lincoln League, composed of four hundred representative colored citizens from thirty-three States, denounced lynching as a crime under any circumstances. At that time many skeptical ones remarked: "The same old catch phrases to corral our vote in November." There are colored people who do not know Will Hayes as we do in Indiana. He rings true all the time and really stands for 100 per cent Americanism, just like the late Theodore Roosevelt. Just read the following words with which he closed his address at a luncheon given in his honor by the Columbia Club of this city: Among those present were Governor Goodrich, ex-Senator Beveridge and other national as well as local celebrities. Your humble servant was the only colored man present, with the exception of the waiters. Make the language of a man who after he finds the truth is not afraid to tell it to the world, and by so doing serves notice that the Republican party intends to stand honestly by every American, regardless of sex or race. Chairman Hayes pleads to his white brethren thus: "The Republican party, guaranteed by its past underwritten by its present, will measure its future steps, forward by the new needs of the nation. Let all wishers of good government, regardless of party affiliations, let all those who love their country and its institutions, listen now for a moment, listen with eyes aloft, listen to the voice of experience and the call of inspiration from the Spirit of America, which was Washington and Lincoln and Roosevelt; listen and hear from them the call, 'Carry on, now, against the foes of our own household as you fought at Valley Forge, at the Argoune and at Chateau Thierry. Carry on! Carry on! Find disloyalty, if there be disloyalty, and scotch it; find dishonesty, and crush it; find the right, and cleave unto it. Keep your eyes raised, Americans, but keep your feet on solid ground. Find the reason for discontent, and meet it squarely; correct the cause where there is a cause and mercilessly destroy the excuse where it is an excuse only. Find exact justice and demand it—demand it for all men and require it from all men. Remember the stuff you are made of, Americans. Remember the heritage which is yours. Remember—and be encouraged. The manhood and womanhood of America is sound. The stress of late date has strained all overmuch. Be patient with one another, but as you value your country's future, wait not a moment to realize the emergency nor longer delay your action. Each one is equally responsible. Stop and look within. Look, each one, to your own industry and thrift. Look to your own conscience and moral responsibility. In the whirl of the stars about you, seize upon common sense and good conscience. Holding fast, then lift yourself from the maelstrom of unrest and regain for your yourself your own sound judgment—and then reach for others as they are hurled by. Yes, forget not the others who are about you. It is as dangerous now as it was just outside the walls of Eden to ask in surprise, 'Am I my brother's keeper?' Remember, we all go up or we all go down together. The great Power which is the Spirit of America, must not tolerate any attempt to array group against group, section against section, or sect against sect. Guard against this as you would against a pentilence; the nation has no greater enemy than one who would thus divide the country against itself. While you are in a turmoil our late enemies are marshalling with dispatch all of their industrial resources. Let not our great accomplishments in war be marred by our inability to order our own affairs. Mere agitation and mere motion are not progress. The vicious circle is not the shortest distance between honest effort and highest reward. Remember that one man is only better than another when he does better. Give every well-behaved man and woman their equality of opportunity, and require from them their full measure of accountability. Live and let live is not enough—we must live and help live—and as you live and help live find always exact justice and enforce it." A FAILURE. Prohibition the Propaganda of Hypocrites—People Are Dying Easter. Is prohibition a success? This is a question that few well-thinking, truthful people, whether they be preachers, teachers or what not, will answer in the affirmative. Prohibition, in our opinion, has had a pretty fair trial and has proven to be a dead failure. We do not speak as an advocate of liquor traffic—no, for we have once thought that the abolition of whiskey would make the United States a perfect little Garden of Eden on earth. But, instead of that, it is fast becoming a perfect den of murderers. Prohibition, then, is a failure. Prohibition is the only law on our statute books which requires millions of dollars of the people's money to compel the people to obey the law. The government is out billions of dollars that it would get, as it formerly did, on the taxes of whiskey. And this money must be made good by the clothes and shoes we wear, and even the medicine we must use as a succor for the sick and dying. Furthermore, the government, in order to appease the advocates of prohibition, must send out thousands of revenue agents, appropriating millions of dollars to pay them, to force the people to obey the law. Even those who are bitterly opposed to prohibition must dig down in their pockets and help pay to enforce a law they do not favor. This seems a little un-American, and some day may be regarded as unconstitutional. Instead of paying out millions of dollars to enforce the prohibition laws, would it not be better to give these millions of dollars to the poor soldier boys who went on the battlefields "over there" to uphold our country's honor? We think 'twould be money far better spent. There is an old adage which says "between two evils, choose the least." So here we have two evils. It is an evil to endure the whiskey traffic, for, as many know, it has caused much trouble; but that was because the law was too lax. Here we have the prohibition—(prohibition in name only, for the Master left it here, and He'll find it here when He comes again)—which is an evil, an evil which has proven to be far worse in a few months than the whiskey traffic has been in a good many years. And to choose the least of the two evils, we believe the prohibitionists would lose out. It goes without saying that the lawful sale of whiskey has never caused as much unrest in this country as prohibition has. And there'll never be any real rest among the American babies until they are given back their liquor bottles. We were among the strong believers in the prohibition ranks, but since we see that it costs treasures of money and the lives of thousands of human souls to maintain it, we now favor the reasonable request of what seems to be a very large majority of the people for beer and light wine. We think the whiskey question has been carried to the extreme, anyhow. Light wine and beer should have been allowed in the first battle pitched by the prohibitionists for a dry country. Any doctor of any consequence prescribes a little whiskey for his sick patients. An epidemic of the "flu" was never known in this country until the eradication of whiskey. And the still believers in enforcing the prohibition laws may well take some serious thought of the following: Before the extinction of whiskey, There was no such thing as "flu." But since the extinction of whiskey, The graveyards are full of you. ATTENTION, CITIZENS! Community Center Department, Public Schools of the District of Columbia.

JACOBS' PHARMACY CO., ATLANTA, GA. (Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Laboratory.) --- The National Forum held its initial meeting at the Miles Memorial C. M. E. Church, Third street between L street and New York avenue northwest. The meeting was called to order by W. C. Martin, of the directors, and Edmund Hill, Jr., also one of the directors, acted as secretary. Prayer was offered by Rev. M. L. Breeding, pastor of the church. After thanking the trustees and pastor of the church on behalf of the directors for unanimously granting its use for the weekly meetings of the forum, Mr. Martin stated briefly the principal objects of the forum, and requested the secretary to read the subject for discussion. Subject: "Resolved, That the enforcement of Section 1 of the XV Amendment to the Federal Constitution would benefit the Negro more than the enforcement of Section 2 of the XIV Amendment." Messrs. J. H. Wilson and R. A. Hughes, announced to open the discussion, were unavoidably absent, whereupon Mr. T. J. Gordon was recognized and for half an hour he presented numerous statistics and facts in support of his contention in favor of the enforcement of Section 2 of the XIV Amendment. Mr. W. H. Watson followed and drew a sharp contrast between the two sections of the amendments and expressed the belief that greater benefit would accrue to the race by the enforcement of the XV Amendment. The next speaker, Mr. O. E. Jones, spoke from carefully prepared notes in support of the negative. Mr. S. T. Craig, president of the trustee board of the church, and Mr. Joseph Robinson favored the enforcement of the XV Amendment. Mr. E. Hill, Jr., contrasted the two sections in question, and said that he favored the enforcement of the XIV Amendment. Rev. M. L. Breeding stated that as he had not studied the subject carefully he preferred to be a "listener." Each speaker who discussed the subject gave good reasons, and advanced some novel ideas in support of his contention. After unanimously agreeing to resume the discussion of the same topic at its next meeting, Thursday, April 8th, 8 p. m., the forum at 10:30 adjourned. ANACOSTIA NEWS NOTES. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather Easter Sunday, the services at the various churches both day and night were well attended. The children were given appropriate Easter souvenirs. The day's collection was large. The choir chanted appropriate music, suitable for Easter services. Government dredges are pumping mud from the river beds and distributing it along the Anacostia flats. The purpose is to raise the land three feet more, making that section a more healthful district. Now that the Lenten season has passed away, the social season is again on in full blast, for the young people. Many house parties have started, and Douglass Hall is the mecca for many dancing parties. The public school having closed for the Easter holidays, many of the children are making a start on planting of flowers and home-garden work. Trips to the Zoo and Public Library were taken by many. The history of Washington again has written therein another assault by a police officer upon one of our colored citizens. This time Rev. James McK Jones, pastor of the St. James A. M. E. Z. Chapel of Georgetown, was assaulted by a new police officer of the Seventh precinct last Saturday morning about 2 o'clock at Twenty-seventh street and Dumbarton avenue. It appears that Mrs. Jones, the pastor's wife, had made a call on her mother during the evening while he was preaching in the Southwest, and he called at his mother-in-law's home for his wife upon his return. Rev. Jones, being quite anxious to attend to some minor chores at home, walked a little ahead of Mrs. Jones, and when only a short distance away from her heard her scream. Mrs. Jones states that some man called to her, and she turned sufficiently to note that it was a man and that he was approaching her. She began to run and scream, which attracted Mr. Jones' attention. He identified his wife's voice and returned, being met by the beastly assault from this former overseas police officer. Another officer along with the clubman recognized the minister, and prevented further attacks upon him. Rev. Jones requested the officers to go to the station house, which they reluctantly did, and there placed a charge against the pastor, which was not reported at Police Court on Monday last. The A. M. E. Z. connection secured counsel for Rev. Z, and the case will be fought to a finish. Mrs. W. W. Stockton, Miss Geneva Cannon and Mr. J. Venia, of Rochester, N.

The Sunday School opened at the usual hour, 9:30, with Mr. R. H. Gray, superintendent, in charge. At 11 a.m. the pastor preached his Easter sermon; text "He is not here; He is risen." The church was well filled, and the listeners enjoyed the sermon. At the conclusion of the sermon he sang one of his favorite hymns, "Glory To His Name," after which the pastor, assisted by Rev. Jas.

At 8 o'clock, the choir and Sunday School had a very good program, which was highly appreciated by the audience. 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 w practically command the work of te. 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. C., and the office of Robert Queen, 1936 Twelfth Street N. W. This organization is capitalized at $50,000, divided into five thousand shares at $12.50. Officers and Incorporators. Charles L.

In addition to the sums of money accounted for as having passed through my hands, I received information of other larger sums of money collected on account of the delegate fund which never came into my hands. I had letters and telegrams from Rev. Dr. J. R. Kanson, Witchita; Kans, stating that $950 had been collected in his State; that after paying out $350 for expenses in collecting same, he held $600, which he was willing to send me as National Treasurer. But being uncertain at that time as to whether or not any delegate would find it possible to cross the sea, I telegraphed Dr. Ransom under date of January 22, 1919, not to send the money until I could assure him that some delegate had obtained passports or had crossed the sea without passports. On March 29, 1919, Dr. Ransom wrote me that after deducting expenses he had returned the people's money to each person in proportion to his contribution. This was quite a month before Mr. Trotter sailed from New York for Paris. During the time that Mr. Trotter was putting forth his efforts in New York to get across the sea, I read in the Boston Guardian that Massachusetts had in hand $440. No part of this money came into my hands. About the same time I read in the Boston Guardian that Rev. Klugh was traveling and collecting funds. If this gentleman collected any funds at that time or after, no part of such collection came into my hands. I think it was during February, 1919, that Mr. N. S. Taylor, delegate from Greenville, Miss, came into my office and counted down on my desk $400 in cash. I refused to receive it on the same grounds that I had refused the $600 tendered by Dr. Ransome, of Wichita, Kans. There was at that time no reasonable prospect that anyone would succeed in crossing the sea; and I felt that I had money enough in my hands to cause me all the embarrassment that I might want in the event one of our delegates reached the Peace Conference in France. Rev. Dr. Johnson, of Richmond, Va., acknowledged in correspondence with me that he had in hand from his people, for his own expenses as delegate from Virginia, $500. This $500 did not come into my hands. I received information from a reliable source—one of the national officers of the league—that $500 was collected in St. Louis, Mo., for the delegate from that State, and that a local league in Oklahoma had reported a collection of $500 there. No part of either of these sums came into my hands. These last mentioned six items aggregate $2,940, no part of which came into my hands, but which, added to the $3,062.16 which did come into my hands, makes a grand total of $6,022.16, which the colored people of this country raised in their response to the appeal which went out from the National Equal Rights League's Race Congress assembled in this city in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, December 16-18, 1918, in an effort to have their voices heard before the conference of the nations of the earth in France in protest against the barbarous treatment meted out to them through the tolerance of their government in their own native land. THE NEGRO AND LABOR. Hartford, Conn., April 3.-Walter F. White; assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and John Haynes. Holmes spoke at the Center Church parish house. Mr. White's subject was "The Negro and Labor." MORE WORK AMONG MISSIONARIES. Worcester, Mass., April 3.—"The American democracy is really tested by what it does for the people here," said Mrs. Ida Vose Woodbury in her address on "Making Americans," recently, in the Old South Church. She pleaded for more effective work among the black race and the other needy ones who are the particular care of the American Missionary Society, of which she is a field secretary. The Rev. Dr. John Logan, Findlay, pastor of Old South Church, presented the speaker to the audience. GOVERNOR DORSEY TO SPEAK Atlanta, Ga., April 5.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced that its eleventh annual conference would be. EDUCATIONAL LEADERS. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By. the Sage of the Potomac. Attorney Peyton said to the Senate Committee that there was a clique in the public schools. Why, I told Attorney Peyton when he went on the board that he would come in contact with a ring. The old Sage knows what he is talking about. There is some "juggling" in the high school, and that tinged pudding in the high school seems to dictate the appointment of all applicants for that particular school. The Senate Committee will have some new stuff to investigate, and don't you forget it. I am anxious to see my old friend, the Editor, go on the stand. The Deanwood matter is one of the most important in the history of the school investigation. Now, don't worry; there will be something doing in a few days. The dirty work continues to go on in the colored schools. The favorites are being cared for, and those, who had the manhood and womanhood to rebel have been ignored. I attended the reception to the New York singers who were at the Belasco last week. The citizens gave them a royal reception at the White-law. Mrs. Julia M. Layton was given an ovation in honor of her son, who was the author of the many songs. Turner Layton has become very popular as a song writer. The White-law has a great deal to learn when it comes down to business. I was sitting there, and all at once I saw seated in the corner alone that old veteran entertainer, General Henry Forrest, who had not been provided with a seat at a table. But I did see, to my surprise, a number of the "has-beens", who don't spend a farthing in the dining room, but can always be seen when some great function is given, occupying seats of honor. I felt ashamed of myself to be mixed up with such a bunch. Then I saw one of the most prominent theatrical managers in the city present himself at the door, but no attention was paid to him, and by chance a very eminent physician of this city provided him with a seat. A prominent New York correspondent was bedecked in a stylish costume, who far surpassed any of the females present, was shuffled off to a side table, while the "has-beens" were honored beyond the extreme. It seems to me that the managers of this affair had lost their heads. They were intoxicated beyond recognition over the attendance of the "spend-no-money" contingent. There was old General Forrest left all alone, and today he has done more and is worth more to the unfortunate and downtrodden than all those "spend-no-money" guys who go froh on their looks and false pride. The success of any enterprise is the manner in which you treat your patrons. I would not give the old General's little finger for the entire bunch. I am waiting for Lord Fauntleroy to go before the Senate Committee on investigation. Oh, what a time there will bel. He will explain, like he did in the Bruce Evans trial. Lord Fauntleroy will have Senator Harrison to deal with. He will not be able to dodge behind a thick board. Senator Harrison will look through little Lord Fauntleroy and permit him to read his little essay, like he permitted Mrs. Cook and Savage Johnson. Oh, when he drops his typewritten essay he will be taken in hand and dealt with according to Hoyle. He must hold a hand that is not yet in the deck to get past Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi. I would suggest to President John W. Lewis that he make a few more changes at the Whitelaw. There is needed a real live man, who knows how to cater to the masses. that only one week prior to this occurrence Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky signed a bill providing for the punishment of lynchers and for the removal of the peace officer who surrenders his prisoner. The bill was signed in the presence of a committee of colored citizens, headed by Dr. E. E. Underwood, president of the Frankfort Branch of the National Association for the Adyancement of Colored People, to whom the gold pen used by the Governor was presented. The bill makes the penalty for lynching death or life imprisonment, and that for attempted lynching confinement in the penitentiary for not less than two years nor more than twenty-one years. The fight to secure a lynching law in Kentucky began with the legislature of two years ago, when a bill was passed submitting to the people a constitutional amendment to make it possible to effect the automatic removal of any peace officer who permitted a mob to secure a prisoner in his custody. The bill submitting the amendment was championed by a committee of colored citizens, who succeeded in securing its passage without a single dissenting vote in either branch of the legislature. As to whether or not this law will be enforced will be shown by action taken by Kentucky authorities to bring to trial the lynchers of Smith. The association has learned just as this statement was being prepared that the anti-lynching statute does not become effective until ninety days after the adjournment of the legislature, due to its failure to include an emergency clause. PRIVATE CARS TO WOMEN'S CONVENTION. Plans are about completed for transportation to the Tuskegee convention of the National association of Colored Women's Clubs July 12-16. it is hoped to have 1,000 women, in session at this meeting, and provisions have been made for transporting delegates in all convenience and comfort. Private cars will leave from New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago, and Pittsburgh. These cars will be kept in Tuskegee during the session. The committee consists of the following: For New York, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, 521 Michigan avenue, Buffalo, N. Y.; for Ohio, Miss Anna V. Hughes, 208 North Twenty-second street, Columbus; for Illinois, Mrs. Irene Goins, 2042 Prairie avenue, Chicago, and Mrs. L. E. Jameson, 922 Monson street, Peoria; for Philadelphia, Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, 1614 West Second street, Chester, Pa.; for Louisville, Mrs. Georgia A. Nugent, 845 South Sixth street; for St. Louis, Mrs. Victoria Cilay Haley, 209 North Jefferson avenue; for New England, Miss Roberta J. Dunbar, 58 Winter street, Providence, R. I.; for Baltimore, Miss Ida R. Cummings, 1234 Druid Hill avenue; for Washington, D. C., Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Lincoln Heights, D. C. The following are the approximate rates for the return trip, including railroad fare, Pullman charge and taxes. These rates are subject to a, little change, as railroad conditions are unsettled at this time. Sufficient notice will be given of any change in rates. From Louisville, $33; Pittsburgh, $70; Chicago, $59.22; St. Louis, $51.18; New York, $73.90; Philadelphia, $68.50; Washington, $59. All other points can estimate their rates by comparison with the point nearest them mentioned above. Further information can be secured from any of the committee. Reservations must be made as soon as possible so that the chairman will be able to inform the railroad of the number of cars desired. Each car will accommodate forty, and the rates mentioned above are on the forty basis. All money must be in the hands of the railroad one month before the date of the convention; as they will require this time to assure us perfect arrangements directly to Tuskegee. Any further information may be secured from the National Chairman on Transportation, Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkin, 2519 Webster avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. McMECHEN DROPS IN. Grand Exalted Ruler George W. F. McMechen, of Baltimore, Md., the leader of the Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, was in Rockville on Friday last and searched a title. It was late when he finished, but not too late to search for his Grand Traveling Deputy, Harry L. Tignor. He searched, and his search was not in vain. At 494 Louisiana avenue northwest he found his personal representative for the District of Columbia. He found his personal representative, and his personal representative found "the boys." As soon as the news spread that the head of the Elks was in Tignor's office, members and friends of the order began to assemble. Fred D. McIntosh, Attorney Tignor's law partner, although farthest away, must have felt something in the air, for he was the first to reach the oasis. Attorney John Collins seemed to have a premonition that something was coming off, for he ran close second. Attorney Charles S. Williams was a little late, as he and Dr. Sumner Holmes were out in their usual search for "shorty". Freezy Freeman closed up the solemn halls of the Bar Association and also sought refuge under his chief Exalted Ruler. Judge Robert H. Terrell adjourned court forthwith upon hearing the news and directed Deputy Marshal James Howard to replevin certain wet goods in the cellar of the host, Attorney Harry L. Tignor. This was done forthwith. Upon the execution of the said writ of replevin and upon the return of the said Marshal Howard to the scene of activities, the said Marshall Howard found awaiting him Mr. Geo. Thomas, Mr. Harry Clark; Attorney Tom Beckett, Attorney Henry Brown, Mr. Samuel E. Lacy and Dr. Peyton. As the guest of Attorney Harry L. Tignor and Charles S. Williams, the entire party took dinner at the White-law Hotel. After dining, the homes of Columbia Lodge, No. 85, and Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, were visited, after which the residence of Count Thomas was sought. Although in a secluded spot, it was found, but not found wanting. As the guests of the Count, everything was lovely and only adjourned because the Grand Exalted Ruler had to make the 12 o'clock train. Editor Chase was the only friend of the order who was not served personally. DR. JAMES E. WILLIS Will Preach for Benefit of Cosmopolitan Baptist. Church. A drive for $25,000 is being conducted at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, N street between Ninth and Tenth streets northwest, to pay off the overdue mortgage debt and repair the church.

Drew will preach at Rehoboth Baptist Church, First street between O' and N streets southwest, Dr. John Richards, pastor, for the same drive. GENERAL WOOD THE MAN. By Edgar G. Brown. Indianapolis, Ind., March 9.—As I have been a constant reader of your splendid paper for over a year, I would like to submit the following statement, which I hope you will find space in your paper to print: I have received one hundred and two letters from editors all over the country which on the whole expressed this sentiment, "I am not particularly interested in who is the nominee of the Republican party. It matters not what his name may be or what his vocation may be, if he is right on the question affecting my race and the business of this country; he is my candidate." I am, in complete sympathy with the thought that he (candidate) must be right on the race question. I would be a traitor if I were not, and I, also, believe that the candidate of the Republican party must be an out-and-out American; concerned primarily with the business of this country, like Lincoln of old, and the late Theodore Roosevelt. I take direct exception to the statement that it matters not what his (the candidate's) name may be; because, first, this statement means nothing but evasion of the issue and savors of the usual political pussy-footing, and, secondly, because back of a candidate's name is the man and his record, both of which can be studied. One hundred and twenty-three editors have fearlessly chosen General Wood as the champion of the square deal to all men. What is the matter with the one hundred and two? The facts, the past records, and the present utterances and platform of General Leonard Wood are open to all alike. Are we to forever go on leading only where there is darkness? Cremation has been officially decided by the proper Masonic authority to not be a Christian burial. required sum of $25,000 for maintenance of the Y. W. C. A. building for the colored branch of that service will continue this week, the subject of the Y. W. C. A. work having been given special attention in many churches. The building at Ninth and Rhode Island avenue is going up rapidly, funds, for the construction having been appropriated by the War Work Council of the association during 1918. DEATH SENTENCE AFFIRMED. Little Rock: Ark., April 6.—The Arkansas Supreme Court recently affirmed the death sentence imposed on six of twelve Negroes condemned for murder in connection with the Elaine race riots last October and reversed the other six and remanded their cases for new trials. Paris, Ky., April 6.—Grant Smith, charged with criminal assault, was removed from the county jail by fifty men, who rushed Smith out of town. The mob announced it would hang the Negro from a bridge at Millersburg, nine miles from here. Later a report from Maysville stated that a mob which captured Smith from officials at Paris was burning him at Blue Lick, Fleming county. The man was arrested in Pontiac, Mich., charged with assaulting a 14-year-old girl, and was brought here for safe-keeping. DR. GREEN A CANDIDATE. Editor of The Bee: I note in your paper of March 27, 1920, you state that Dr. Annie G. Green declines re-election. I wish to say that the statement is without any authority from me, and I cannot imagine who is, responsible for ase sanie. Permit me to say I am certainly a candidate for re-election and shall not give up the run, as I have not carried out half of the policy as outlined in the plan of community center work.

Washington, Jr., arrived in Los Angeles from Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. The Washingtons are stopping with Mrs. Thomas J. Nelson. It is expected that Booker T. Washington, Jr., will join his family here within a month or two and make Los Angeles his home. UNREST AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE. Baltimore, Md., April 6.—With a view to, counteracting the effects created by the kidnapping theory with which some of our people seem to be obsessed, Marshal Carter summoned six influential citizens to his office and asked them to do everything possible to allay the feeling of unrest existing among some of the colored people. The men assured the marshal that the false reports were not believed generally by the Negroes of the city. COLORED TEACHERS. Columbia, S. C., April 6. The annual convention of teachers in the colored schools closed last week after holding one of the best sessions in the history of the association, according to statements from teachers who have been attending the meetings for a number of years.

A A businesslike Answer to a businesslike Question THIRTY denominations cooperating in the Interchurch World Movement have budgeted their needs. No business could have done it more scientifically. They have united to prevent the possibility of duplication or waste. At least a million dollars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual campaigns are joined in one united effort. Each denomination has arranged its budget under six main heads. 4 FOR A LEGIOUS TRAINING At least 10 years of age are required for 24 years of age preemption. American life without any relation to training is a member of the birth of Washington and Lincoln do you think that America will continue to produce Washington and Lincoln if faith dies out of the hearts of its youth? 1 FOR THE CHURCH'S WORK AT HOME. A score of items come under this need. Consider only one. Five and a half billion people in the United States cannot even readl write the English language. Who is to carry forward this vast work of Amerification if the church does not? 2 FOR HOSPITALS AND HOMES. Every year the thousands of men and women in hospitals ill-treated away from Church hospitals because of back of room. The children's homes are compelled to turn away more children than they can receive. 5 FOR THE CHURCH'S WORK A KNOWLEDGE. Inflenza come first from the Orient thirty years ago, nearly all plagues are Oriental plagues. So long as China has only one physician to every 40,000 people the Orient will continue to be a menace. So long as one-third of the babies of India die before their second year our own babies are not safe. A Christian doctor or teacher sept abroad is working for America as truly as though he worked at home. 3 FOR HICHER EDUCATION. OF THE 450,000 American students in institutions of higher grade, one half are in institutions founded and supported by the Churches. Many of these institutions have had no great endowment campaigns, but their needs are just as pressing as the needs of larger schools; and you have only to read their list of alumni and alumnae to measure the value of their contribution to America. needs are just as pressing as the needs of larger schools; and you have only to read the list of alumn and alumnae to measure the value of their contribution to America. 6 PREACHERS' SALARIES.

Poor Jane's acting actor was exonerated when the people shall just schools and how they are in justice.

It was because of organization and the Blue conditions will be beaten. NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS In this country who live it is Thomas Walker, its League, whose report organization, appears in the Peace Congress, that college to defend those uniforms and locked up for defense and children, has not upheld Race Congress should report shows that he refused him when he was come the direction of the league to attend the Peace Conference, the National Race Congress everything in sight, the riot fund, and up to the states stated, not a coloring many of the uniforms commended. His report should be read by every man. Mr. Walker states that representatives in the Senate and presented to him, only declined to accept, the Department refused to succeed in running the race given him by Mr. Wendles as treasurer of the National Race Congress p It is quite evident that the present Board of Education will be legislated out of office, and with it will go certain school officials. The testimony that has been given the Senate committee has no doubt satisfied the committee that Superintendent Thurston is the right man in the right place, and that a more conscientious educator could not be found to succeed him. In the abolition of the present Board of Education it is hoped that provision will be made to retain this man, who has been much abused by certain petty members of the Board of Education—a board that has been a menace to the public school system. The appointment of a colored assistant superintendent of schools who meets the approval of the colored people and educational requirements should be appointed. There are men in the system who could fill the bill, and it is hoped, for the benefit of the schools, such a man will be appointed. When the Deanwood matter is properly presented to the committee the spirit of the late Miss Jane M. Cropper will come forth from the grave and look into the faces of those who caused her untimely death. Mr. Peyton, who was chairman of the committee that received the report of the special committee that is alleged to have investigated the Deanwood incident, admitted that he committed an error when he signed the report exonerating those against whom charges were made by the colored citizens of Deanwood. It will be recalled that at least a dozen, or more, pupils from the Deanwood school, with their parents and many citizens, assembled in the board room in the Franklin building one afternoon to testify, and the chairman asked if these citizens had anything to offer other than what had been reported by the "whitewash" committee. It will be remembered that the spokesman for the citizens of Deanwood stated that the parents and their children were ready to testify. But what redress had the citizens? None whatever. The "whitewash" report was adopted. Poor Jane M. Cropper was removed, and the leading actor was exonerated. The day is here when the people shall judge how things have been done in our schools and how they are now being done under the guise of right and justice. The committee of the Senate is in possession of all the facts, and the people will be shortly informed what they are. The Parents' League, which is composed of some of the leading citizens of Washington, and the lady at its head, is, like Caesar's wife, above suspicion. The Parents' League has been a benefactor to our schools. In this connection The Bee, on behalf of the people, wishes to commend the stand of Dr. Thurston in defending Dr. Lucy Moten, the principal of the Normal School. This noble woman has kept the school from being turned into a sporting house. Young girls have been protected. She has thrown the arm of protection around innocent and virtuous females and protected them from the invasion of libertines. Dr. Thurston stood by Miss Mary Wilson because she was deserving, although her face was too black for the half white instructors. It was because of Miss Wilson's color that she was opposed. When the Boule organization and the Blue Birds are eliminated from the public schools conditions will be better. NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. If there is one man in this country who has made personal sacrifices for his people, it is Thomas Walker, Esq., treasurer of the National Equal Rights League, whose report to the country, as treasurer of that organization, appears in this week's issue of The Bee. The National Race Congress, that collected several thousand dollars from the people to defend those unfortunate colored citizens who were arrested and locked up for defending themselves, their homes, their women and children, has not up to this time made any report. The National Race Congress should take a lesson from Mr. Walker. His report shows that he refused to receive several thousand dollars offered him when he was convinced that the delegates elected under the direction of the league could not get their passports for France to attend the Peace Conference. On the other hand, the National Race Congress refused nothing and was willing to take everything in sight. This congress bagged all that it could for the riot fund, and up to this time, from what President Royal Hughes stated, not a colored lawyer received a penny as fee for defending many of the unfortunate in this riot. Mr. Walker is to be commended. His report, which is in another column of The Bee, should be read by every honest citizen. In one portion of his report Mr. Walker states that hundreds of dollars were collected by the representatives in the several States for the Equal Rights League and presented to him, but he refused to accept, and unequivocally declined to accept, funds when he was informed that the State Department refused to issue passports to colored delegates. Mr. Trotter, who succeeded in running the blockade, went to France, and funds were given him by Mr. Walker out of the funds that came into his hands as treasurer of the National Equal Rights League. Will the National Race Congress publish its report? THE N. A. A. C. P. ion in this country that is the National Association: This organization people, and its drive for ported. Every patriotic a member. Every injustice colored people is being The only organization in this country that is doing anything for the uplift of humanity is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This organization is indeed doing good work for the colored people, and its drive for increase in membership should be supported. Every patriotic citizen, colored and white, should become a member. Every injustice that is being perpetrated against the colored people is being attacked in a just and Perhaps a few changes in the local branch in this city could be made which would tend to improve it. Rev. A. C. Garner, Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Mr. Kendrick and others are fearless in their advocacy of the rights of the people. In the drive for membership that is being made we are confident the results will be gratifying. It is indeed a notorious fact that the colored teachers in the public schools of Washington are hounded to death. No teacher knows when she is safe from official and underhanded attacks. There has not been any peace or harmony in the colored schools since the retirement of William E. Chancellor. The colored teachers have been governed by a hard taskmaster. No teacher feels safe in the colored schools. It is hoped that the Senate Investigating Committee will give the overworked colored teachers some relief. COLORED DEPARTMENT STORE. There is to be a colored department store organized. This is just what the colored population of over one hundred thousand people want. This corporation is composed of some of the most reliable citizens of Washington. Let every patriotic and race-pride colored citizen purchase some stock.

C. principal of Tuskegee Institute, in an address in Unity House, Boston, on Tuesday evening, February 24th, at a public meeting arranged by the friends of Tuskegee and Hampton institutes. Dr. Moton declared that the current of public sentiment in the South was very friendly to the Negro as a result of the determination of Southern governors and the leaders of Southern thought to be fair to the Negro. For this reason he expects to see lynching and mob violence wiped out within the next few years. His address was one of the most hopeful and inspiring ever delivered to a Boston audience on Negro advancement and race relationships in the South. The other speakers were Brig. Gen. John H. Sherburne, 167th Negro Field Artillery, 92nd Division; James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, and Alexander. L. Jackson, educational secretary of the National Urban League on Conditions Among Negroes. Hon. Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association and stalwart champion of human justice, presided. The Hampton quartet renamed the music for the occasion. Brig. Gen. Sherburne extolled the morale and behavior of the colored troops under his command during the war. He was frequently applaud- ```markdown ``` Special Excellent Service at the ed in recital of the achievements of his brigade, especially in his reading of letters from mayors of several of the French cities. Dr. Gregg of Hampton cited the remark so often heard about the Negro being kept in his place. "His place is the one his merits entitle him to," he said. "As with the Irishman, the Italian, the Jew and the Greek in this country, the Negro begins with a handicap of ignorant and adverse prejudice. Both can be overcome and are being overcome. Any man, white or black, who can read and write, who thinks straight and lives straight, who is self-supporting, honest, hard working and reliable, who respects his fellowman, deserves the vote, and is bound to get it. Lynching is cooperative murder, and throughout the South is gradually being recognized as a shameful crime." This was the first time Hampton's principal addressed a Boston audience composed of both races, and his satiring utterances were received with marked approval. Speaker Clark, in remarks to the House, stated that the color question is working itself out; and it has got to be worked out by individual communities and States.

Invention of an Expert Chemist You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pemade; 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.

Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of aatomy 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, bowels, 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. Dr. Parker pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes. PHONE: NORTH 533-J. TAXI Office Phone North 4491-4492 Residence Phone North 7495 A B C NEVER OUT! NEVER LATE!

Did you ever wonder why some people have power to accomplish almost anything they undertake and others—yourself, maybe—failed in everything? There is a reason; it may be a hidden, secret reason. The Helping Hand Movement has worked wonders for many years all over the country for both races, both sexes, young and old, and it is the greatest helping power on earth today. It solves every problem, every condition in life; it helps the body by improving your health; it helps the mind and heart by bringing your heart's desires to you, thereby making you happy; it brings you spiritual help and places you in a successful and advanced condition in life. I am patronized by Washington's best people, white and colored, and all are benefited; no one is slighted; all are invited. I heal, I help, I enlighten, I give comfort, I open the way to the realization of all your legitimate, helpful wishes. If you are rich or poor, my great help is extended to you the same. Come to me if you can; if not, write me and let me help you through the great Helping Hand Movement. It is the greatest modern message of health, happiness, prosperity and spiritual service.

To Whom It May Concern: I am indeed glad of the opportunity to write a word in regards to this worthy and reliable Company—The Southern Aid Society of Virginia. All of my family are members of it, and whenever sick they have met their obligations promptly, faithfully, and courteously. I have been sick and disabled now for omre than two years, and it has been the same in this case. Their representatives always seem happy when meeting their obligations, which causes a sick person to realize that a friend in need is a friend indeed. When one is disabled and receives that which was promised us when we joined, and without unnecessary trouble, it is very beneficial. May they ever continue to prosper, and may God bless them, and bring them much success; that they may continue to do good is the sincere wish and prayer of one who is interested. (Signed) MARY H. DAWSON. COMMENDS SOCIETY FOR PROMPT PAYMENT OF SICK BENEFITS FOR TWO YEARS: 1207 St. John St., Richmond, Va. March 19, 1920. Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc.. 528 N. Second St., Richmond, Va.

During the epidemic of "flu" in October and November, 1918, and February and March, 1920, the Society paid every claim for sickness, accidents and death the day the same was due; all death claims received were put in the mails for return to districts for adjustments with beneficiaries within three hours from time they were received at the Home Office, except in those cases requiring qualifications of guardians, etc. Sickness and accident claims were paid by Superintendents and Agents with greater zeal than ever, their purpose being to maintain the standard of excellence of Southern Aid service already established.
