The Washington Be Congressional Library --- ATTORNEY BENJAMIN GASKINS EXPOSED THE FRAUDULENT METHODS OF THE HAND PICKED. VOL. XL. NO. 49 Han ATTORNEY BENJA POSED THE R THODS OF THE TRICKERY EXPOSED. Attorney Benjamin Gaskins Repudiates Hogan and Cobb. Washington, D. C. May 4, 1920. Mr. E. C. Graham, Secretary, Republican State Committee, District of Columbia. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of May 1, in which you state that I have been "elected a delegate-at-large to the Republican State Committee in and for the District of Columbia" at a meeting of the. "District delegates," and requesting me to notify you "if, for any reason," I "cannot qualify as a delegate to a convention of all the delegates for the purpose of electing delegates and alternates to the Republican National Convention to be held in Chicago. June 8, 1920," and that your convention would be held in the White Parlor of the New Ebbitt Hotel on May 5, 1920. I was, four years ago and still am, an ardent supporter of the candidacy of Frank J. Hogan and Edward D. Williston for delegates to the Republican Convention, and, it is persistently rumored around town that these gentlemen are the candidates of your committee. But at no time have the names, of these gentlemen been submitted to the consideration of the Republicans of the District of Columbia. Neither has the Republican electorate had an opportunity to vote either for or against any of the "district delegates," and I am at a loss to understand what authority they have to pretend to speak for the Republicans of the District of Columbia. Not knowing when, where, nor by whom the delegates, who are supposed to have elected me a "delegate-at-large," were themselves elected, how am I to know but what I may be representing Democrats. Socialists or Bolsheviks? I cannot but conclude that the pretended convention mentioned in your letter is merely some scheme whereby it is intended to defraud the genuine Republican voters of the District of Columbia of their rightful chance to express, through honestly elected delegates their preference for their party's standard bearer in the coming campaign. Such a convention being in utter disregard of the principles upon which the Republican party was founded, for one cannot "qualify" as a delegate thereto. Yours very truly. B. L. Gaskins. PARLOR DELEGATES. Central Republican Committee Will Elect a Star Chamber. Delegation. Republicans Bared and Hand Picked Delegates Selected. The Most Delightful Political Event in Local Politics. For years, the so-called alleged Republican Central Committee has been declaring fraud against all previous Republican delegates that have been elected by the District Republicans. But, the present Republican organization is committing political acts more daring and more audacious than any other Republican organization since the organization of the Republican party. The most diabolical act is the naming of delegates by letter. Anthony Benjamin Gaskin received a letter from the hand picked Central Republican Committee, informing him that he had been selected or elected a delegate from his district to the convention which is to meet in the parlors of the Ebbitt house this evening. Mr. Gaskin showed the letter to a representative of The Bee and stated that he knew nothing about any election in his district, that he never attended any meeting, and in fact, a meeting had ever been held in his district for the purpose of electing delegates to the local convention of the hand picked, and he was going to inform the chairman and decline. In the ninth district, in which The Bee office is located, no meeting has ever been held. Will Houston, Dr. A. M. Curtis, J. A. Cobb and a few others met and elected themselves delegates to the hand picked convention which is to meet tonight. No public meetings of any consequence have been held under the auspices of this hand picked committee. If The Bee was in the fight, it would not stand for such proceedings. Who are committing frauds in politics? It is the ousting of one fraudulent organization to admit greater, frauds. The parlor hand picked delegates will meet this evening and elect a delegation that a voter's constituency had nothing to do with. POLITICAL FRAUD EXPOSED Sanctioned by National Chairman, Colladay Favors Open Election, but Hays Objects—Windmill Lincoln League of a Voteless Constituency Interferes with Local Politics — Hand-Picked Convention Elects Delegates. The hand-picked convention met Wednesday evening in the Ebbitt House hall and elected Frank J. Hogan and James A. Cobb delegates to the National Republican Convention. The convention was composed of hand-picked individuals. It is stated that Will H. Hays, chairman of the National Republican Committee, opposed submitting the candidates to the will of the Republicans in this city, while Mr. Colladay, National Committeeman for the District of Columbia, wanted the claims of the several candidates submitted to the people. The so-called Lincoln League, with Roscoe Simmons as president; Henry Lincoln. Johnson, Robert R. Church, W. H. Lewis and others, a voteless aggregation, who were defeated delegate by their respective States, recommended to National Chairman Will H. Hays, James A. Cobb, of the District of Columbia, for delegate. Cobb is aware that he could not be elected a chimney sweep by the votes of the people, if there were but one candidate for the position in the field. If there ever was a fraud imposed upon the local Republicans, it is the election that has just eaken place: Chairmen and all others who were identified with this hand-picked rump convention should never again charge Southern Democrats with committing political fraud. If Will H. Hays, the chairman of the Republican party, is a party to this method of electing local delegates, the Republican party will go down in defeat. The Bradshaw convention was a fraud, and the only logical and fair election that will be held will be by the Miller-Scott convention. No decent Republican should have attended those hand-picked, voteless organizations. Will H. Hays wanted Cobb because the voteless and defeated group of the Lincoln League wants him. The colored voters in this country will repudiate Will H. Hays and Lincoln League followers. Lincoln Johnson was defeated in Georgia for delegate. He is a contestant. Roscoe Simmons was repudiated in Kentucky, and Mississippi, his home, would not elect him. Robert R. Church was defeated for delegate in Tennessee, and yet Will H. Hays joins with this crowd to dictate to the District of Columbia as to who shall be delegates. If these political nonentities can control the colored vote, let The Bee reflect. WASHINGTON, D. C.

DISGRACE TO REPUBLICAN PARTY. The election held in the Ebbitt House Wednesday by the hand-picked delegates, who elected two oeher hand-picked delegates to Chicago, is a disgrace to the Republican party in the District of Columbia. COSMOPOLITAN CHURCH IN DRIVE FOR $25,000 On Wednesday, May 12, at 8 p. m., at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, the final reports on the $25,000 drive of the church will be received. The following pastors and churches, headed by Dr. James E. Willis, pastor of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, are aiding Dr. Simon P. W. Drew in his effort to pay off the debt on the church: Vermont Avenue Baptist Church and Cosmopolitan Church, $100; Mt. Airy Baptist Church, Dr. A. J. Tyler, pastor, $25; Rehoboth Baptist Church, Dr. John Richards, pastor, $41.25; Simpson Memorial M. E. Church, Dr. John M. Beane, pastor, $15. Others will be announced later. Dr. S. P. W. Drew preached Monday night, May 3, at Rehoboth Baptist Church. Five persons were converted, and six joined the church. Dr. Richards is pastor. Rev. R. D. Botts took part. Dr. Drew will preach Wednesday, May 12, at 8 p. m., on "The Valley of Dry Bones." SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH, ALEXANDRIA, VA. Shiloh Baptist Church is holding high the banner of its ideals. Rev. James H. Marshall is an untiring worker and has just closed a successful revival with baptizing on Friday night. Baptizing at night was new in Alexandria, and the citizens were out en masse to witness it. Rev. Marshall addressed the Min- isters' Conference last Thursday on the subject, "Should the Church Take a Hand in Settling the Dispute Between Capital and Labor?" The subject was handled in a masterly way. The speaker said that the church has been taking orders instead of giving them; that its duty is to change men's hearts and have each realize that the other man is his brother; that the world needs and must have justice, truth and honesty. The Amphibion Glee Club, of Washington, D. C., under the direction of Prof. J. Henry Lewis, sang to a capacity house at Shiloh Baptist Church. There is clamor for their early return. Madaime E. L. Bruce, the Oklahoma nightingale, and her accompanist, Mrs. Justus Jones, has given her Gospel Candle Service in Washington at Brown Memorial A. M. E. Church, Florida Avenue Baptist Church and Ebenezer M. E. Church; in Alexandria and vicinity at Shiloh and Bethlchem Baptist Church, Gum Springs, Rev. W. H. Triplett, pastor. She has a return engagement for each. It is a wonderful sermon in song and story. DR. J. SHEPARD SPEAKS. Dr. J. E. Shepard, president of the National Training School, Durham, N. C., arrived in the city Wednesday, from New York City, and addressed the district of Howard University, Wednesday afternoon. He was introduced by Dr. Durkee in complimentary terms to the district body. The speaker paid a deserving compliment to Dr. Durkee on being a man of great force and a stanch friend to his people in a higher education. Dr. Shepard left for his home Thursday evening. WOOD WINS IN OHIO. Columbus, Ohio, May 7.—Harry, M. Daugherty of Columbus, Senator Warren G. Harding's national campaign manager, has been defeated in the primary for delegate at large to the Republican National Convention, according to complete unofficial returns. William H. Boyd of Cleveland, a Wood candidate, appears to have beaten him by 307 votes. The same returns give Senator Harding a plurality of 16,303 over General Wood. The vote gives Harding 125,561 and Wood 109,258. Senator Harding apparently will have 39 of the 48 Ohio delegates. Gen. Wood has two delegates in each of three districts and one delegate at large. FIFTY-FIFTY Boise City, Idaho, May 7.—Eight uninstructed delegates at large have been elected, led by Senator Borah, who is for Johnson; Wood followers claim four. EVENLY. DIVIDED. Detroit, Mich., May 7.—Ten district delegates have been chosen, four instructed for Johnson; four of the other six have declared themselves for Johnson. Little Rock, Ark., May 7.—Negroes have called a "rump" convention for contest at Chicago. The "lily-white" elected eight delegates, with half votes each, favorable to Lowden. WITH CAROLINA COUNTIES Raleigh, N. C., May 7.—The Colored Republicans have organized throughout the State and will send a set of delegates to the Chicago convention to contest the seating of the "lily-white" delegates. They expect to win. The colored delegates favor Wood, but go to Chicago uninstructed. Tribune, commenting on the close fight for delegates by Leonard Wood and Hiram Johnson, the two leading aspirants for the Republican nomination for President, says: "The two men who are leading in the pre-convention campaign in the Republican party are Gen. Wood and Senator Johnson. DR. C. M. TANNER. The Great Churchman Speaks—His Commencement Address Receives the Highest Commendation—Vice-President Marshall in Hot Springs. Little Rock, Ark., April 17.—Dr. C. M. Tanner is now in Little Rock, where he went to deliver the commencement address to the graduates of Shorter College. Vice-President Marshall spoke in Hot Springs last week. His subject was "Good Roads." He was as illuminating as a man of his mental and political calibre can be. Here is a sample of the rot he dished out: "We want good roads so our Governor Brough (Arkansas) can get in his automobile and go to Governor Allen (Kansas) and bring back that Negro, Hill." Hill, as you recall, is considered to have played a part in the Elaine riot affair. Everybody knows Hill is innocent. Bolshevism, radicalism and enemy propaganda were criticized in the report of the committee on state of country, submitted by Rev. Dr. C. M. Tanner before the one hundred and third annual session of the Baltimore conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets northwest. Abolition of "jim-crow" cars, lynchings and race oppression also was urged. "We are at a strategic point in our national and racial life," reads the report. "The approaching national election and the rapid spread of socialism, radicalism, bolshevism and sovietism are forces that are undermining the very foundations of our traditional form of government. "Let us made, in a dignified way, our demands," the report continues, "and let us demand from parties and candidates at least four things: "1. Equal and exact justice before the law and in courts of law. "2. Our legitimate part in the distribution and disbursement of all public funds. "3. Equal accommodations for equal pay on all common carriers and in all public places. "4. Equal chance in all government offices and in the army and navy." Following a brief sermon by Bishop J. Albert Johnson, Sunday, the appointments for the ensuing year were announced. Bishop Levi J. Coppin, Rev. Dr. Theophilus G. Steward and Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks were among the visitors introduced. Max Henry Dorsey, Jonathan Alexander Dames, John Thomas Bailey and Frederick Douglass Bailey were admitted on trial. James Edward Lee and Elmer Harrison Purnell were ordained deacons and William Walter Colbert elder. Rev. C. E. Stewart was elected a delegate to the World Sunday School Congress, which will be held at Tokio. Miscellaneous reports were received at Saturday's session of the conference. Good reports were received from all the churches, and it is expected that the conference collections will reach $25,000. St. Paul, Metropolitan, Ebenezer, Garfield, Anacostia and other churches in the District of Columbia were reported to be in a flourishing condition. The presiding elders—Revs. P. J. Jordan, John S. Collins, James G. Martin and D. G. Hill—report that their districts are in good shape. Friday afternoon; with Mrs. E. T. Addison, of Easton, Md., presiding. Reports from the committee of the state of the church education were made. Rev. William Chew preached the missionary sermon. Rev. A. L. Gaines presided. DR. SHEPARD'S GREAT WORK. By N. Barnett Dodson. Durham, N. C., April 27.—The National Training School in this thrifty city is wearing a prosperous look, and everybody moves with a speed that tells of a definite purpose. The commencement season is swiftly approaching, and there is much work to be finished before that happy event is ushered in. This is the tenth anniversary of the organization of the training school, hence the coming school closing will witness the most notable gathering of visitors and friends in its brief but eventful history. President James E. Shepard has given out the following dates and program of speakers for the commencement season, which begins on Friday, May 21, with the annual musicale: Sunday, May 23, the commencement sermon will be delivered by the Rev. George Emerson Barnes, D. D., of Flint, Mich.; May 24 an address before the joint Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. by the Rev. Dr. Willard P. Soper, of Jersey City, N. J.; May 25, address before the joint literary societies by the Rev. Howard J. Chidley, D. D., of Winchester, Mass.; May 26, address to the students by Rev. Dr. Samuel V. V. Holmes, of Buffalo, N. Y., and on Thursday, May 27, the commencement address will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. S. Parks Cadman, of Brooklyn, N. Y. DENTAL ASSOCIATION. The regular monthly meeting of the Robert Freeman Dental Society of the District of Columbia was held in the amphitheatre of the Howard University Medical School on last Saturday evening. This organization is making its meetings worth while by securing the best lecturers and demonstrators, not to entertain, but to instruct upon live professional topics and methods. At this meeting the lecturer was Dr. Hattner B. Crane, of this city, a dental surgeon of national reputation, who held his audience spellbound, by his masterly exposition of his illustrated subject, from the moment he replied to the introductory remarks of Dr. Haron Russell, Jr., until he had exhausted his subject. Dr. Crane is, indeed, a big man with a heart commensurate with his appreciation of favors received. "I was delighted when Dr. Russell invited me to address your organization," he said, "for I have not forgotten the many valuable points your Dr. Carson and Dr. Davis gave me in their respective specialties, helps that I could not have obtained as satisfactorily from any other source. "It gives me an opportunity to partially repay in a small way that indebtedness." The Junior and Senior dental students of Howard were appreciative guests of the society and are to be invited in the future to all the lectures or demonstrations to be held by the society, and a proposition, prompted by racial interest, is being considered to have the organization visit the Dental School during the last ten days of the scholastic term to coach the members of the Senior Class in preparation for their battle before the various boards of examiners for license to practice dentistry.

It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. 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, 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. ADVENTISTS IN SESSION.

During the Moens incident the demand for The Bee was 90 per cent greater than any twenty publications in this city, and because their agents were not permitted to monopolize the newspaper market they began to knock the paper, but without effect. The management could publish one hundred thousand papers and throw them away or send them to agents under the pretense of swelling its circulation, but The Bee declines to print any more papers than it sells.

"THE SPENDTHRIFT." A Tense, Gripping Drama, Plentifully. Spiced With Laughs. Beginning Tuesday matinee, the Lafayette Players will offer "The Spendthrift," a modern drama having for its theme, "extravagance." This play was produced on Broadway only last year and scored the biggest hit of the season. We are positive you will like this play. The central characters in the play are Richard Ward and his wife, Frances. Richard is deeply in love with her and cannot refuse granting her any of her whims. His income is fairly large, but her tastes require him to spend at least double to what he makes. He tells her that expenses must be cut down, but she is so ignorant of money value that she cannot realize where her husband's business is going at the rate she is spending money. As a final resort to help him out, she borrows $20,000 from a friend. --- on its merits and it asks no favor tion in this city has the reputation to appear in The Bee and informing it larger than The Bee and knocking one of The Bee's advertisers-whom him an advertisement because he directs those who are interested to all publications and ask them which and see if they don't report that The that you can find upon the shelves sold papers of the other publication one exception, and at this juncture Agent Cunningham, at 1102 You because the management for reasons used months ago to serve him, in fourteenth and Swan streets north, but the demand for The Bee was 90 my publications in this city, and best attended to monopolize the newspaper the paper, but without effect.

She decries him, saying that she borrowed it from an aunt, while she really, borrowed it from a man of doubtful reputation. Richard discovers the truth. His suspicions are aroused and to find out the truth, he forces his wife to call the man to her boudoir. He then hides behind a curtain until the man enters. As he steps from his hiding place with gun in hand, he demands the truth from him. This scene is the strongest single scene ever presented on any stage and will hold you in rapt attention. Here we find husband, wife and supposed lover in the wife's boudoir. The wife has retired for the night when the husband compels her to send for her lover, as the husband believes him to be. "The Spendthrift" teaches one of the greatest lessons, for it tells a strong story of domestic life which is lived only too frequently among most of our people.

Dudley in His New Thirty Apartments—Most Brilliant Affair Given—Judge Robt. H. Terrell at His Best—Bert Williams, of the Follies, Electifies the Guests. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Lieut. Vincent Thomas, Manager Byars and the Murray Brothers in the Limelighe. It was a most brilliant affair at the new thirty apartments, known as the Bryn Mawr, 1316 U street northwest, recently purchased by Mr. S. H. Dudley, who has a chain of theatres throughout the country, and is the owner and proprietor of the Mid City, 1223 Seventh street northwest, and the S. H. Dudley Theatre, 1216 U street northwest. The card that Mr. Dudley, sent to his guests, who responded, simply said: "You are Theatrical Producer S. H. Dudley cordially invited to be present at the Theatrical Managers' Banquet, given by S. H. Dudley at his new apartment, the Bryn-Mawr. Apartment 8, 1316 Y street northwest, Thursday, April 29, 1920, at 11:30 p. m. By 14:30 the following guests had responded: Judge Robert H.

A woman must be the careful manager of the husband's income, or else a marital institution will land on the rocks of ruin. Woman can rule the universe either for good or evil, as poor weak man will let her sway him, so she, as the ruling power, should be the right influence and bring harmony into the home, of which she should be mistress. There is no happy home without the influence of a good woman, be she wife, mother or sister. OPPOSE LILY-WHITE Regular Colored Delegation Going to Chicago to Protest "Cold Shoulder" Richmond, Va., May 5.—A full set of rglular colored Republican delegates will appear at the Chicago convention from this State. They will go to oppose the "lily-white" brand of Republicans which held a convention at Roanoke and named the usual quota for this State. The colored brother was given the cold shoulder and distant stare when the lilywhites met, and for the first time in years there was a convention of Republicans which was noted for the absence of the colored delegates. Chairman J. R. Pollard of the local forces said that the time had come for the colored voters, the bulk of the Republican party, in the South, to stand up and fight for the principles of the party. He alleged that the district conventions were held in --- liams carelessly held forth like a female when she wants others to see and admire her sparkling genis. Everybody ate plenty. The food was cooked to the taste of the gueses, and their appetites were satisfied. At the conclusion of the dinner, which Mr. Washington so artistically served, Judge Robert H. Terrell, who is always the life of any occasion, was designated toastmaster by Manager Dudley, who was faultlessly attired in full dress. Chesterfield cut. The judge, of course, spoke two hours; that is, every time he introduced a guest to speak he prefaced his introduction with a brief history of the speaker. His was the first, full of thought and eloquence. He was followed by Manager Byars, who always wears a smile; then came Morris Murray, who was followed by Lieut. Vincent Thomas, who wore a tuxedo cut in the latest style. He made a short talk and Entertains in His New Apartment. apologized because he was so young in the theatrical business, but Vincent said that he was coming. Dr. Scott is always in the front. He generally knows what he is talking about. He made a most philosophical talk. Editor Wilson delivered one of his characteristic speeches, appealing to the ante-bellum patriots, which brought Bert Williams to his feet with an admonition that people have passed ante-bellum days philosophy and are looking to the age of advanced civilization. Bert read a lecture to the editor of The Eagle, which elicited much merriment. Mortimore Hume told of the part he played in securing the flats for Manager. Dudley. Manager Byars is a jolly good fellow, who always comes up smiling. Mr. Payne, Morris Murray and Mischeveaux made talks, as did Editor Chase and others. Everybody enjoyed themselves, and many congratulations were tendered Mr. Dudley for the entertainment he gave to those who were fortunate enough to be present. It was an event that will be long remembered, and the thanks of the guests were expressed in no uncertain manner. private offices and in hotels, the colored voters having no invitation or notice of the affairs, and if they did the conditions were not such that they would be welcome. Attorney J. T. Newsom, of Newport News, made the keynote speech in which he said that "a voteless people is a. helpless people," and that if the Republican National convention at Chicago did not give them their rights, then the people of the United States will elect a Democratic President the next election. This sentiment was applauded roundly. Will Go to Chicago. These delegates from Virginia will attend the Chicago convention; they will make their fight in the open, and they hope to win out. The chairman of the meeting, J. R. Pollard, said that the lily-white district conventions and the State convention were not held in accord with the proclamation of the Republican National Committee, that the colored voters had been ignored and disregarded and that they did not propose to have the door shut in their faces without knowing the reasons why. They are strong enough and intelligent enough to give considerable trouble, before they have been disposed of and their political status determined. If they are shut out, they will not, they indicate, stand by the party, but they will either abstain from voting or else they will vote for the Democrats. They will cause considerable worry at Chicago, and whoever may be in control of the convention will --- stand or fall by the decision of the committee on credentials, which will open the door of the convention or shut them tighter. Richmond has organized a "Make Hoover President" club. Alvin M. Smith, a well-known business man, is the head of the organization, which is enrolling members rapidly. The members are Democrats, Republicans, Prohibitionists and Independents, with an occasional mugwump and bull moose. The club has no other purpose than to do exactly what its name implies. Changes in Liquor Sentiment. There has come a change in the liquor sentiment and agitation in the last ten days. When the counties began instructing delegates to vote against the injection of the issue into the State platform, the decision was suddenly reached that the matter would not be brought up in Roanoke, and this in the face of the fact that a few counties had ordered that the delegates insist on a plank in the platform for the repeal or amendment of the Volstead liquor law. Chesterfield county elected its delegates, instructed against mention of the liquor issue and made the member of the house, a wet man, one of the delegates to the Roanoke convention, the meeting reversing the vote cast last fall, when the "wet" was elected over the "dry." Considerable interest attended the announcement of the action of the Democrats of Loudoun, where Governor Davis was indorsed for district delegate, the custom having been for years that the governor should attend, the presidential convention as one of the delegates-at-large. BRUCE'S FATAL BLUNDER. THE last nail in the coffin of Roscoe C. Bruce was driven when he took the witness stand in the Senate investigation. He has been charged again and again with incompetency, insincerity, favoritism, etc., but his beneficiaries have been loud in their denials of the truth of such charges. Unfortunately for them and him, Bruce offered himself as a witness, submitted himself to a test as to his fitness to hold the honored position as head of the district schools. The community and the country well know the result. For efficiency, sincerity and dignified deportment he absolutely failed to measure up to the requirements of the position. One Senator hung his head in disappointment, another stared at him with surprise, another turned away in disgust and gave his attention to a newspaper, while the fourth, by well-directed questions, erased the thin Harvard veneer and exposed the real Roscoe, our Roscoe, who has been a menace to the District schools for more than a dozen years. The passing of Roscoe C. Bruce is near at hand. His days are numbered. We have it from a reliable source that he is even now seeking another job. His followers are watching for the new band wagon. The teachers are breathing freer and the public is waiting with impatience for Roscoe to make his final how. THE WAITERS' RECEPTION. The spring reception of the Waiters' Union, Local No. 726, was a big success at the Coliseum last Tuesday evening. Over five hundred persons were present, among them visitors from the white waiters' union, who appeared well pleased with the big showing made by No. 726. Doc Perry and his jazz band made things lively till, the wee hours. The special entertainers from New York were great during the intermission in song and dance. ANACOSTIA NEWS. --- The C. M. E. conference, in session last week at Petersburg, Va., returned Rev. J. E. Scott to the local church. Rev. Scott has done splendid work in his previous pastorate. The funeral of Mrs. Martha Wracks Gant took place on Tuesday. The deceased was one of the oldest inhabitants of Anacostia and was highly respected by members of both races. For many years she kept a stand at the city market selling garden products. Rev. Loving, of Washington, preached the funeral sermon. The song service held at Campbell A. M. E. Church Sunday night was well attended. A splendid program was rendered. Many changes in realty have occurred during the past week. The following names have been recorded: Alice Smith, Hites, Spencer, Moore and De Vine. For three thousand six hundred years Phoenicia thrived and flourished. This is longer than any other people on record has ever "kept the pace." This commercial nation "went to the wall" only when her business principles became lax, but for thirty-six centuries she held the whip hand over the world's commerce. Her power was derived from her commercial prowess. Any nation or people that would thrive or flourish, thereby establishing an economic status among the nations of the earth, must do so by and through the channel of trade. Business is the foundation of civilization, and for this great cause the National Negro Business League is launching one of the biggest campaigns in the history of the race. In practically every city in America during the week of May 23 an intensive membership campaign will be "hot on the trail," and no man or woman who has the business interest of the race at heart will escape the energy, "ginger" and "pep" of the local campaigners. The entire machinery of the National League is oiled up and ready to go, expressing its unlimited power through its local leagues. Every officer of the league is pledged to put his full personality into this effort, and the personality of the officers of the National Negro Business League is no mean asset. A special sermon is being suggested for the first day of the campaign, which falls on Sunday. Ministers all over the country are going to respond to the call of the league, and are asked to preach from the text, "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings." Proverbs 22:29. Every forward-looking man and woman in the country will be willing to lend a hand in this effort to put over this movement for business organization among Negro people. The National Negro Business League has established headquarters at Washington, D. C., 1816 Twelfth street northwest, and solicits inquiries from those interested in carrying forward its program. EDWARD D. STELLO. The recital at the Howard Theatre last Sunday afternoon by Edward D. Stello was not largely attended, as it was expected. Perhaps the prices were too high. As it was, an appreciative audience greeted the great singer, and his vocal selections were acceptably rendered. A number of his selections were enthusiastically applauded. GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI ANSWERS. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, announces the receipt, on April 26, of a telegram from Hon. Lee M. Russell, the Governor of Mississippi, stating that "Franklin and all other persons will always have full protection of our laws in securing their legal rights." This telegram was dated Jackson, Miss., 11:45 a.m., April 26. On April 22 the association mailed to the press copies of telegrams, passing between the association, the governor and the acting governor of Mississippi, the last two being the telegram of April 21 of Acting Governor H. H. Casteel, in which he evaded replying to the association's appeal for protection, and in defiant language threatened that the editor of The Crisis, the association's organ, would be made an example of if he appeared in Mississippi, and the association's second appeal for legal protection following the receipt of the acting governor's wire. The association announces that since the publication of these telegrams, it has been informed from two sources, one of them a white man, that Rev. E. R. Franklin was badly beaten in addition to being fined, the beating being described as "heaten into a jelly." The association is unable, upon its own authority, to substantiate this allegation, but in one case the information came to it from a man who had written to a third party on other matters and mentioned this case incidentally as a matter of news. In the other case information came directly from a correspondent familiar with all details of the case. HANGED FOR ASSAULT. Topeka, Kans., April 28—An unidentified colored youth, said to have attacked a white girl near Mulberry, Kans., was taken from an officer by a crowd the same day and hanged. A white youth captured with the colored youth has been taken to the Girard county jail. The girl was found tied to a tree with her throat slashed. A railway switch crew located the colored youth and white youth several miles from the scene. They were taken to Mulberry jail, where the girl identified the colored youth as her assailant. The person who speaks the truth makes enemies; the deceitful one gets by easy, until caught up. Miss, Clara Johnson ‘has returiec, Te _ Eleventh and U St, N. W. and 1400Alabama Ave. S.
