The Washington Bee Crisis Editor Threatened N. A. A. C. P. TAKES ACTION ON ATTEMPT TO SUPPRESS RACE PUBLICATION IN MISSISSIPPI. VOL. XL. NO. 48 Crisi N. A. A. C. P. TAKES TEMPT TO SUPPRI LICATION IN MISS APPEALS FOR FREEDOM. OF THE PRESS. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, made public recently copies of telegrams passing between the association and the Governor and Acting Governor of Mississippi, in which the association asked legal protection for a lawyer to appeal the case of Rev. E. R. Franklin, of Jackson, Miss., a colored minister, who was fined $400 and sentenced to five months on the county farm at Tchula, Miss., for selling The Crisis, the official organ of the association, and whose lawyer, employed by colored people of Jackson, Miss., the association says, was intimidated by a mob which threatened to lynch him if he attempted to defend the colored minister. The association declares that a local justice of the epace refused the tender of a bond to cover the cost of appeal, declaring that Franklin would be lynched if released and that his only assurance of protection was for him to work out his sentence. The reply of the Acting Governor to the association's request for legal protection was a declaration that "if the editors of this sheet (The Crisis) would visit Mississippi, we would make an example of them that would be a lasting benefit to, the colored people of the South and would not soon be forgotten." The association in its statement says that it is uncertain from the Acting Governor's telegram whether the "example" to which he refers means a threatened lynching or a court sentence of unusual severity. In either case, says the statement, the association wants to know whether the right of appeal to a higher court is to be denied in Mississippi by mob intimidation and sustained by the Governor's office and whether the Negro in Mississippi has any rights which white men are bound to respect. The association repeated its request for legal protection. CHARLES S. JAMES. Professional Caterer to the Discriminating.

PARENTS' LEAGUE AND MARRIED TEACHERS. The recommendation the Parents' League made to the school investigating committee that "young married women" be eliminated as teachers from the public schools, raised again the question of the employment of married women as teachers. Just where they would differentiate between "young married teachers" and old ones, is not clear. Perhaps their idea is to dispense with the services of married teachers during the experimental stage of their married life. In these times of divorces, separations and equality of the sexes, one might say there is an experimental stage in married life through which most couples must pass before it is known whether they will really be married or not. However, the question should be given careful thought by the committee. The teaching profession is one which requires the best effort and pains if a teacher aims to be a credit to her profession and a success in the tutoring of children. And if a married woman is going to fill her sphere in the home well, she would hardly have the time or desire to continue as a teacher. We believe that men who have a proper conception of married and home life recognize this truth and are willing to support and keep their wives in the home, and that right-thinking women reciprocate this idea. The public schools should not be a field of livelihood for women who desire to evade the duties and obligations of their marriage, when deserving single women, who would be a credit to the schools and the profession, are kept on the waiting list for lack of vacancies or, perhaps, "pull." This is said with due appreciation of the fact that there are commendable married women teachers in the schools. Not long ago the services of married women were not utilized as teachers in the District schools, and that is the general rule now in other parts of the country, the idea being that a married woman's home and husband require her time and attention to such an extent that her services cannot be utilizezd to the best interests of the public schools; and, realizing this to be the case, schools generally are not desirous of being placed in the light of competitors for their services. That is sound reasoning, for the home is the cornerstone of our civilization. That is taught children in the schools, and any infringement on the rights of the home in this or any other matter tends to nullify the truths they teach. THE AMPHIONS' RECITAL. On account of the large reserved seat sale, only a limited number of general admission tickets will be sold for the Amphions' recital May 6.

Stello, the great Negro tenor who attracted nationwide attention during the past season while a member of the Chu Chin Chow Company, will make his first appearance in Washington as a concert singer next Sunday afternoon at the Howard Theatre. Many critics have proclaimed Mr. Stello the greatest Negro tenor of the present age and foresee for him a most brilliant career. Mr. Stello's contract with the Chu Chin Chow company expires this spring, and it is rumored that the wonderful singer will be offered a contract to appear in Grand Opera next season. While in this city with the Chu Chin Chow Company Mr. Stello made a host of friends, who promise to give him a very warm welcome next Sunday. Manager Vincent B. Thomas reports that the advance sale of tickets indicates a record-breaking crowd. NEXT WEEK AT THE HOWARD THEATRE. "After Office Hours" the Play of the Minute. Once upon a time there lived in a wonderful brownstone house in a big city a family of three, a man, his wife and their charming daughter, possessed of ample means, far more than was necessary to satisfy their every wish, trusting, believing in, and actually living for each other. Their home life was ideal, and they were just as happy as the sunlight. The man was a great success, a born leader of men, big in a business way and bigger than ever when it came to affairs which in any way pertained to the great municipality in which he lived and of which he was one of the leading citizens. His wife was easily his equal—a wonderfully educated, clever, beautiful and refined woman, a sterling partner and splendid mother. She, too, was a leader in her own set, tremendously interested in woman suffrage and reform movements of all kinds, and her advice was sought and her support solicited by ambitious women of social prominence from near and far, who appreciated her capabilities and reveled in her friendship. And the daughter was the image of her mother, with every prospect of some day inheriting her mother's great ability and social standing, and engaged to a young but very prominent clergyman, who presided over one of the most fashionable churches in the city. And the husband trusted the wife, and the wife trusted the husband, and the daughter loved and trusted them both, and all was love and happiness and contentment. But sometimes the best of men go wrong. And the reason—nine times out of ten—is a woman. And the innocent cause of the rich and respected man's downfall was little Millie Sinclair, his fifteen dollar a week stenographer, whose youth, beauty and ingenuousness proved to be too strong a magnet for him to resist. And here let it be said that the girl was not to blame, because, like many other unfortunate victims, she didn't know, she didn't been told, and when she accepted her employer's invitation to be entertained "After Office Hours," she felt rather flattered that he should ask her, and being her employer, she accompanied him with a feeling of confidence and security. And then the inevitable happened, and Millie, the little stenographer, instead of taking dictation, became a dictator, and told her rich and respected employer and his wonderful wife and charming daughter what they wouldhave to do to save the family honor. So don't fail to see "After Office Hours." It's daring but all true, and will be bound to hold you spellbound from the rise to the fall of the curtain. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Good, who have been confined to their home on account of illness, are out again. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Henderson, Jr., and family, who spent the winter with the former's parents, left for their home in Lenox, Mass., last Monday. Mr. Hirsh Neal is at present making his home in Falls Church.

The Allen A. M. E. Sunday School met at an early hour with a very large attendance last Sunday morning. The lesson was very interesting. The Rosebud Club of the Sunday School is making plans for the betterment of the school. The pastor, Rev. M. W. Traverse, preached a good sermon last Sunday to a very large audience. His subject was "Hope." The congregation is glad to have the pastor for another year. At 3:30 p. m. Rev. W. H. Manokoo, of Campbell A. M. E. Church, Anacostia, preached a sermon that will long be remembered by his hearers. The sermon was in the interest of the brick rally conducted by Miss Celia Cannon, Mrs. M. W. Traverse and Mrs. E. Marrows. The rally was a great success. Nearly $100 was raised. The ladies were tendered a rising vote of thanks for their efforts. The night services were conducted by the evangelists, Rev. S. E. Christy and Rev. Wilcox, of New York. The church again was crowded, and marked attention was given the speaker. He appealed to the church for reconsecration, and many went forward and knelt at the altar, among them a prominent young lady, who seemed to be greatly impressed. Rev. Hawkins, of the Baptist Church, was there and sang some songs in his characteristic way. Mrs. Medley and her aunt, of F. street southwest, were at the church and visited her daughter, Mrs. Maud Chase. On May 5 the trustees will give a grand gospel feast. A fine program has been arranged for the occasion. B. Ant site P. ing Mr. Rev. J. A. Taylor, pastor of the Baptist Church, is planning a great financial drive in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. David Gibson, of Philadelphia, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Dabney last Sunday. GARFIELD NOTES OUR NEW CHIEF OF POLICE. Major H. L. Gessford a Native of Washington—Commissioner Louis Brownlow Gives the People Their Choice—A Deserving Appointment. Inspector H. L. Gessford, a native of this city and an official in the police department, was promoted from the ranks last week by Commissioner Louis Brownlow to Major and Superintendent of Police. There is no man in the police department who has rendered greater service to it than Major H. L. Gessford, who has come up from the ranks in deed and in fact. For years he has been the right-hand man of almost every Chief of Police and by his deportment won the confidence and respect of his superior officers and the people who constantly visited the police department headquarters. Major Gessford is a quiet and competent official, who has won his way from the bottom of the ladder to the position to which he was promoted last week. The Bee was the first to mention the well-known public servant, with Captain Doyle and the captain of No. 3 precinct, all of whom are good men and popular with the people. The Bee is confident that Major Gessford will treat his fellow-citizens fairly, regardless of color or condition. His unfortunate colored citizens, who have not been given a square deal in that department, look to him to right the wrongs that have been inflicted upon them in his department. The Bee has always had great faith in Major Gessford, and has today. If Major Gessford will adopt a new and progressive policy in his department by the appointment of more colored men at headquarters, he will see a change in the thieving atmosphere in and around Washington. A few more colored men on the police force will put a quietus on many of the outrageous crimes committed in this city. The Bee extends its congratulations to you, Major Gessford, and its thanks to Commissioner Brownlow for having the forethought in placing you at the head of the greatest police department in the United States. Here is honey for you and stings for your enemies from The Bee. THE RIOT FUND. The riot fund continues to sleep. Rev. W. H. Jernagin has made no report. SUNDAY THE INSTANTANEOUS VICTLE RAY TREATMENT.

DR. BROOKS FOR BISHOPRIC. At the one hundred and third annual conference of the Washington District of the A. M. E. Church in Baltimore, the biggest report in the history of this district was made. It discloses that Dr. Brooks had raised $111,000, paid off a large mortgage on the Bethel properties, and expended over $16,000 in improvements. Dr. Brooks is prominently mentioned for a bishopric at the forthcoming General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, which convenes in St. Louis, Mo., during the month of May. COLORED MEN NOMINATED. Trenton, N. J., April 19.—Because the Republican leaders of the State have not complied with the request from colored organizations to place one of their race on the Big Four slate for the Chicago National convention, a faction of the colored voters filed with the secretary of state a petition nominating two colored men for delegates-at-large and two for alternates-at-large. This breaks up the original plan of the Federation of Colored Organizations of New Jersey, which make up an entirely colored Big Four slate, and proposed to have a complete colored ticket in all the district. HELPING HAND MOVEMENT. 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.

Events treat the colored brother very Engraving and Printing and the It is a question with The Bee whether the colored vote is wanted. Every indication is shown in political gatherings that colored Republicans are voted out of conventions and none of them has been invited to participate in the councils of the party, with but a few exceptions, and those who have been asked belong to the bread-and-butter brigade. The present-day leadership among colored Republicans is weak. The men who have been asked or selected by the National Chairman have no following whatever among their people. It looks as if the colored brother is not wanted. In the District of Columbia meetings are held, so to speak, in the dining rooms of white Republicans, where the colored brother is not invited. The Bee is under no obligations whatever to this hand-picked organization which is to pick delegates from this city to the next convention. There will be three sets of delegates from this city. Who is responsible for this condition? The moment the National Chairman picked a national committeeman, and he, in turn, sided with a hand-picked organization whose membership is of recent birth, nothing more can be expected. The Bradshaw farce organization, a handfull of political nonentities, went through the form of electing two delegates to Chicago. Next in line is the hand-picked, lily-white, parlor, kid-glove, organization which will go through a star chamber proceedings and select two delegates, claiming recognition by the local National Committeeman and National Chairman. The next in order—last, but not least—will be the Liberty Hut mass meeting of Republican voters fathered by Mr. Robert I. Miller and Attorney A. W. Scott. If the people respond to this last call and a good showing develops, perhaps the committee on credentials will give it some recognition. But we believe that the committee on credentials will throw out the three delegations which will retain the present hand-picked National Committeeman in power. Now, reverting to the colored brother in the present contest, is he wanted? The action of the several Republican gatherings shows that he is an intruder and The Bee has decided to remain in its hive until honey is wanted and asked for. The colored brother has no cause to complain. He has done well under this administration. He has earned more money and has accomplished more than under any former Republican administration. The Bee is informed by hundreds of colored Republicans in office that they have no cause to complain so far as work is concerned. Many of the heads of the departments treat the colored brother very well, particularly the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Government Printing Office. W. C. MARTIN, Attorney.

CHORAL SOCIETY SCORES TREMENDOUS SUCCESS No musical event in Washington has scored more success than that achieved by the Howard University Choral Society at the First Congregational Church, Tenth and G streets, northwest, Friday evening, April 16. Instead of attempting to criticize the success of the concert, leading critics of the daily newspapers may be quoted. The musical critic of the Washington Times, in her criticism "In music and in experience, the music chronicler can lead the public of Washington into a new and thrilling surprise. For the first time this writer heard, last evening, the Howard University Choral Society, under the direction of Lulu Vere Childers, sing the famous "Hiawatha," the Coleridge-Taylor setting to the Longfellow poem, at the First Congregational Church. It is a triumph for the colored people in music. It was the most thrilling choral experience the writer has ever had. For sincerity, for the grasping of a poem's intimate meaning and then giving it forth in massive body, rich in harmony, rich in the variety of tone that told the exquisite words of this poem of primal valor and ideality, the rendition was significant. Like a single voice, they swept into the music, cut it short in astonishing unity, spoke a word like, an individual, with the magnified tone power of eighty voices that had that native music quality that distinguishes the colored race of America. The music of Coleridge-Taylor is rarely alive with the spirit of 'Hiawatha,' with his strength, with his romance, with his despair. The solo parts were sung by the leading soprano of the colored race, Mrs. Florence Cole-Talbert, and by two of New York's leading singers of the white race, William Simmons, bari-the tone, and Mr. McGranahan, tenor, replacing Betechel Alcock, who was ill. William Simmons gave a splendid reading to 'Hiawatha.' He delivered this music with its rare words that sing to us in their pictured cadence with such beauty of tone, such dignity and tender feeling, that his message lingers in the memory. Mrs. Talbert typified the spirit that hovered over the loves and sorrows of Hiawatha and his 'Laughing Water, Minnehaha.' Her voice was pure and high and held appealing expression that was exquisite at times, then full of the sunlight of spring, or again told this gripping tale with pathos and sympathy. While to the tenor, Mr. McGranahan brought the same uplift in meaning and sang with beauty of voice and a directness that characterized the entire performance. "To the chorus and to its director, Miss Childers, for a rendition that had not even a shadow of faltering, unstinted praise is due. One would like to hear this rendition of 'Hiawatha given in a theatre, so that it could reach a larger musical public. They picked up the chorus parts of the story, giving the color of the recital—which this entire cantata is with such dramatic insight, such a sense of proportion and meaning, that it amazed. It was a privilege to hear that ringing word 'Hiawatha,' and how he 'sailed into the fiery sunset sailed into the purple vapors, sailed into the dusk of the evening." It was a masterful descending cadence that rose into a mighty chorus 'Farewell O Hiawatha,' that sobber and sighed and screamed, as said the text. This was a great rendition of a gripping work.

COLORED GRAND OPERA SINGER IN DANGER Threaten His Life if He, Signs Contract with Old Company. It is generally rumored that Mr. Edward, D. Stello, the wonderful Negro tenor, singer of the Chu Chin Chow Company, has received a number of anonymous letters threatening to do him bodily harm if he signs the contract which recently was offered him to become the tenor soloist of the company next season. Mr. Stello doesn't seem to be very much disturbed because of the letters and states that he will not be influenced by them in any way. It is supposed that the anonymous letters came from friends of one or two white members of the company who are prejudiced against the great Negro tenor, whom many critics have praised in the highest terms during the past season. Mr. Stello is a native of one of the West India Islands. While visiting the islands a year ago, the owner of the Chu Chin Chow Company discovered Stello and immediately arranged with him to come to this country. Since his arrival in America Mr. Stello has attracted the attention of all the leading music lovers of New York and Boston. A few weeks ago a representative of one of the New York Grand Opera companies traveled 200 miles to hear Mr. Stello sing, and there will be no great surprise among his immediate friends if Mr. Stello spurs the contract offered by the Chu Chin Chow --- Special Bargains We can always show you bargains in every kind of Homefurnishings.

CHILDREN'S BUREAU. At least ten States of the thirty-eight cooperating with the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor in permanent child-welfare work are carrying on or are planning to carry on during May a "stay in school" drive to help show the school youngsters the value of staying in school. This is to be followed by a "back to school" drive in the autumn, which will try to round up all those who failed to profit by the spring lesson. New material has been prepared by the Children's Bureau to attract the children and to educate them in the understanding of what school does for them. This material is in the form of a ruler entitled: "A Rule for School—Give Yourself. Good. Measure." On the reverse side of the ruler it says: "There is no good place to stop school except at the end." There are other wise sayings also, which it is well to ponder on. The ruler may be obtained free by applying to the Children's Bureau. BASKETBALL The first P. S. A.
