The Washington Beo Congressional Library Washingtonian Lynched MR. SCOTT, A PROMINENT ELK WHO WAS COWARDLY LYNCHED IN FLORIDA, LEAVES A BLACK MARK ON ITS WALLS. VOL. XL. NO. 50 Was MR. SCOTT, A PRO WAS COWARD FLORIDA, LEAVE ON ITS WALLS. MOB IN FLORIDA. Colored Man Taken from Car and Lynched Because He Threatened to Expose. Wrong-Charged With Insulting White Woman. Tampa, Fla., May 8—Riddled by forty or fifty bullets, the body of an unidentified Negro porter was found beside the Lakeland-Bartow road, about 8 miles from the former city, shortly before midnight. The man was porter on Atlantic Coast Line train No. 2, northbound, and was taken from his train when it passed Lakeland about 10:30 p. m., when a young white woman en route to Bartow stated that he had insulted her. She proceeded to Bartow and sent Chief Deputy Sheriff Clyde Olive back for the Negro. The deputy later stated he was alone with the handcuffed Negro, driving to Bartow, when overtaken by three auto loads of armed men, who demanded the black and ordered the officer to proceed on his way. A card beside the Negro's body bore the Legend, "This is what you get for insulting a white woman." The Bee ascertained that this porter, whose name is Scott, and who resides in this city, threatened to report this white man and woman; that he accepted a consideration to keep his mouth closed. A telegram was sent to the next station that a Negro had insulted a white woman. Scott had offered no insult, but had merely threatened to report the two, after he had consented to keep the affair a secret, and he was lynched. Scott asked permission from the mob to be allowed to write a letter to his wife. He was told that it would do no good, because he was going to be lynched. He was taken from the car and lynched. His body was brought to this city and buried Thursday. He was a prominent Elk and a highly respectable citizen. THE NEW COLORED THEATRE Drawing Chestnuts Out of the Fire. The latest thing is the erection of a new theatre for colored people by a white syndicate and the selection of so-called representative colored men for the board of directors. The Bee thinks it is about time for colored people in this city to keep clear of these many schemes that are being constantly hatched by a class of money sharks and so-called representative colored men allowing themselves to be used by the white sharks. The Bee takes this opportunity to call the attention of the colored people in this city to hundreds of colored people who subscribed to stock in a certain colored theatrical enterprise; and only a few dollars of the people's money ever returned to them. If these colored men who have been known heretofore as leading business men serve on the board of directors, The Bee warns the people to keep clear of them. The white theatrical managers have drawn a line of segregation; let the colored people remain within that line and saw their own wood. Every bit of stock for which you subscribe is a tightened rope of segregation. Don't touch it. A WONDERFUL EXHIBIT. St. Louis, Mo. (special to The Bee).—Prof. J. A. Lankford, M. M. S., LL. M., the most eminent architect and mechanical engineer of the race, also the pioneer along architectural lines among our people, has a wonderful exhibit of plans and specifications, blue prints and rendered drawings of church edifices, college and school buildings, apartments, office buildings and residences which is being exhibited in the Coliseum for the benefit of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, now in session in St. Louis. Mr. Lankford is not only an eminent architect and mechanical engineer, but he has degrees from several of the leading white and Negro universities of the country. He has also finished law, and is a member of the bar and of the Supreme Court of Indiana. His exhibit is extremely popular, and at the writing of this article he has received over one hundred orders, for church edifices, apartments, hotels and business buildings since his exhibition in St. Louis. It shows that the race has taken a step in advance and that it is appreciating the skill and ability of our young men who have qualified along the different lines of science, art and industry. His exhibit is truly a work of brain, skill and art and should be appreciated, and he should be consulted by every person of the race who is thinking of building or of reconstructing a building. Mr. Lankford is also a noted writer on Christian art and architectural subjects. He is the only Negro who has written a book of note on the Christian art. We find in Mr. Lankford one of the greatest geniuses of a race. His national headquarters is 1448 Q street northwest, Washington, D. C. ROSCOE C. BRUCE. Before the Senate Investigating Committee He Reads a Prepared Statement, Which Gave History of the Schools—His Attack on Parents' League, Attorney Peyton and His Opposers—He Attacks the Late R. W. Thompson. ____ Mr. Bruce: "That claim is false." Senator Harrison: "They looked very nearly that strong that day you went to the church, didn't they?" Mr. Bruce: "I have described my experience at the church with precision." Senator Harrison: "As a matter of fact, while they claim there were 20,000 signers of that petition or complaint, how many were there actually?" Mr. Bruce: "I would have to refer to the report of the majority of the committee investigating the administration of Bruce, paragraph 34. This, I believe, I read yesterday." Senator Harrison: "Yes; there were how many, do you think?" Mr. Bruce: "The petition carries just 2,000 signatures." Senator Harrison: "How many of those were parents?" WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MAY 15,1920 Mr. Bruce: "Many signatures have been written by one and the same hand. Instances of three or four names from the same family group could be easily cited. Nine-tenths of the signatures are those of women and girls. Although the combination purports to be a "parents' league," the petition carries the names of unmarried persons." Senator Harrison: "How many parents, in your opinion, were behind the Parents' League movement?" Mr. Bruce: "I have no basis for an estimate." Senator Harrison: "How many people would you say were in attendance at the mass meeting that Sunday?" Mr. Bruce: "I cannot estimate." Senator Harrison: "Could you give us an idea?" Mr. Bruce: "I would not like to answer. It holds many more than 500." Senator Harrison: "Would you say 1,000?" Mr. Bruce: "I should not like to estimate. I presume there must have been. I think more than that number." Senator Harrison: "Inside the church?" Mr. Bruce: "There were many inside and many outside the church. But I am not an expert in estimating crowds."

M., under the leadership of its Worshipful Master, Dr. E. G. Evans, has launched several drives for the year. Two of them are the Membership Drive, and the Financial Drive. In the former the good only are accepted and the bad dismissed—accepting quality and not quantity. Of the latter, drive the fight is waxing warm. "There must be $1,000 aside from dues raised for Hiram Lodge this year." In view of that fact, the Master organized a Ladies' Auxiliary to Hiram Lodge, composed of the wives and daughters of the members of the lodge, March 15, 1920. Officers elected were: Mrs. Emma E. Lawson, president; Mrs. S. M. Stockton, first vice-president; Mrs. J. W. Lee, second vice-president; Mrs. Richmond Milton, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Hiram Thompson, recording secretary; Mrs. L. B. Gee, treasurer; Mrs. Charles Scott, chapplain. The ladies voted to "start something" at once. They launched a peace-conference of the allied countries and queens' reception; which was held at Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Georgetown, last Monday night. The auxiliary put in six queens and the church the others. The queen who reported the highest amount above $50 in each section received $15, the next highest above $35 received $10, and the queen who raised the largest amount over all was presented a golden crown. Mrs. Richmond Milton, who represented France, raised the Highest amount of the queens of the auxiliary, $152.40. She received the $15 prize. Mrs. Lillian B. Gee, who represented Africa, crowded her right to the wall and won the second prize of $10. The highest amount raised among the church queens was $92.30; therefore, Mrs. Milton won the golden crown also. Captain C. H. Neal, one of our young members, was the instructor. The queens from Hiram Auxiliary were: Mrs. R. Milton, Mrs. L. B. Gee, Mrs. H. Thonipson, Mrs. J. W. Lee, Mrs. Charity Smothers, Mrs. S. Goins: Those for the church were: Mrs. Pearl Chapman, Miss H. Only, Miss E. Waynes, Mrs. D. Robinson, Miss S. Smith, Mrs. S. Ellis, Miss Helen DeNeal, Mrs. M. Jackson, Miss J. Grigsby. The Red Cross ladies were led by Mrs. Sophia Taylor. They took up the collection for each queen. The peace commissioners were: Dr. E. G. Evans, Mrs. S. M. Stockton, Mr. W. H. Brown, Mr. J. D. Chapman, Mrs. E. Minor and Rev. Turpeau. The queens and their attendants formed in the basement of the church and marched upstairs into the auditorium at the command of Captain Neal. The impressive march was played by Miss' Turpeau. The queens were escorted by Henderson's Commandery, No. 2, under the command of Lieutenant J. W. Stockton. The queens were welcomed by Rey. Turpeau, as Dr. W. H. Jackson had to attend another meeting. The conference was addressed by Captain J. E. Smith, P. G. M. Prizes were presented by Rev. Turpeau, Prof. W. A. Adams, W. G. Smith, Esq., and Mrs. E. Minor. The coronation ceremony was ably performed by Rev. Charles Wesley, chaplain of the lodge. The church was packed from pulpit to door. Eight hundred and thirty dollars was raised. Hiram's auxiliary raised $510.25 and the rest was contributed by the church. All compliments received and much praise should be showered upon all the participants, who did more than nobly in so short a time. On June 4 Hiram Lodge will present two of the great musical stars to the music-loving people of this city. One comes from Boston, Mass., and the other from Chicago, Ill. They will appear at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Get your reserved seat tickets early. JUDGE TERRELL SPEAKS. The Entire Church Was Filled To Its Uitmost Capacity. Norfolk, Va., May 9.-Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington, D. C., addressed an audience this afternoon at the First Baptist Church that filled the body and gallery of the edifice to overflowing. The meeting was in behalf of the Y.M.C.A. drive, and was under the direction of Mr. C.C. Dogan, the secretary. The speaker of the occasion was introduced by Mr. P.-B. Young, editor of The Journal and Guide, whose subject was, "The Negro Today." The membership of the Association was substantially increased through the meeting. Judge Terrell was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. P.B. Young while in the city. DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM HOLD ANNUAL ELECTION Nimrod Supreme Grand Encampment and Queen Deborah Council of the Ancient Order of the Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem of the World, held their annual election at the Temple, 1607-9 Eleventh street northwest. The encampment re-elected nearly all of their Supreme Grand Officers: Supreme Grand General, Edward Love; Supreme Grand Secretary, Rev. James S. Chapman; Supreme Grand Lecturer, P. W. Frisby, Esq.; Supreme Grand High Priest, D. W. Clarke; Supreme Grand Inspector, Isaac Peyton, all re-elected to succeed themselves, by reason of the success they had in Pittsburgh, Pa. The order will have its several branches throughout the several States. At the annual election on April 30 Norris Riley and Charles W. Burnett, were elected as trustees, as were Robert L. Porter, who is a Past High Priest; Edward W. Robinson, who was re-elected Supreme Grand Recording Secretary, and Lloyd W. Crushenberry, who retains his position on the trustee board. The old war horse, E. C. Green, who has charge of the Temple; has had his salary increased, because of the valuable work he has rendered to the encampment for the last thirty years. The encampment, together with Queen Deborah Council, has planned a great campaign, which the officers and trustees hope will result in the erection of a temple modern in every respect, to cost $175,000. The female department re-elected as Prophetess Judge Sister Maria E. Bias; Council's Secretary, Sister S. E. Slaughter, and Recording Secretary, Sister Mary Washington. The Knights of Jerusalem has encampments, in the District of Columbia and throughout America, and in the District of Columbia alone has a membership greater than 5,000. It has a juvenile department running up to nearly 1,200 and a cadet department with branches equaling nearly 600. This is one organization where peace and harmony reign, and it evidences the power of Negro leadership. For the benefit of the members of the Knights of Jerusalem, the Washington Bee will be on sale by the custodian of the building, J. P. Greeh, 1609 Eleventh street northwest. Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, D. C., has just issued an appeal to the country for $125,000 with which to build Victory Hall. The District's quota is only $5,000. This is their first drive. The school is an infant in age—ten years old—but in achievement it stands out as the biggest and best expression of self-help that we have in the field of educational endeavor. The school was not started, as is usual, with our schools, on a gift from a beneficent white friend, nor has it been supported by white people's beneficence; and it is the only race school that has attained national prominence without material assistance from philanthropists. At the very beginning Miss Burroughs said, "I will not go to white people to beg for things that we can get for ourselves. We will found and develop the school and get it to the point where it will make its own appeal," she continued; "and when we go with a record of achievements and show that we know how to build from the bottom and attain a high standard of efficiency in school management, then our appeal, will be heard and heeded. All the people who give to institutions now are 'from Missouri.'" She was right. People want to see something. We assured Miss Burroughs that the Washington public is proud of what has been accomplished by one of their own daughters and that they will give the $5,000. In fact, the Training School is a credit to the entire race. No other school for our women and girls displays at the moment quite so high a degree of practical activity as does the Training It further suggests what is possible when more room and adequate equipment are provided. The school bears the stamp of dignity, diligence, industry and consecrated common sense, seldom seen in schools owned and operated by us. The work in the class rooms and trades departments takes high rank. The service now being performed by its graduates in America and Africa evinces this fact. We hope that Washington will "go over the top" and prove that the person who told Miss Burroughs that she could not run a school on "colored people's nickles and colored people's notions" was no prophet. Rev. M. W. D. Norman, D.D., LL. D., will preach a special sermon at the McKinley Memorial BaptistChurch at 3:30 p. m., next Sunday. Rev. Bundy the wonderful female evangelist will preach at 11 a. m. and $ p. m., and conduct revival next week. THE NATIONAL FORUM. Pursuant to adjournment, the regular meeting of the National Forum will be held at the Miles Memorial Church, Third street between L and New York avenue northwest, at 8 p. m. Thursday, May 20. On motion of Mr. M. W. Watson, the discussion of the topic, "Should the Eighteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution be Repealed," will be resumed at this meeting. As the question is a very live one, there will doubtless be some brilliant oratory for and against the complete or partial "resurrection" of the "Honorable John Barleycorn," deceased. From all indications, the "Bone-Drys," the "Ocean Wets" and the "Middle of the Roaders" are whetting their verbal swords for the conflict of public opinion respecting the peculiar passing and the future life of the said distinguished decedent. The election in November will see some strange happenings. This country, as The Bee predicted, has many complex problems to solve. For light upon dark subjects, read The Bee. DAN TREATMENT.

Scott as delegates to the Republican National Convention at a city-wide primary held Saturday, May 8, in pursuance to the call issued by the Republican regular committee, three sets of District delegates are now ready to go before the Republican National Committee to fight for seats at the Chicago gathering. Majority is Overwhelming. The Miller-Scott ticket was overwhelmingly elected by a vote of 3,605 to 126 for the ticket headed by William Beuchert, Jr., and George Chase. The alternates elected were John I. Sacks and John T. Rhines. The heaviest vote was cast in all twenty-six precincts late in the afternoon, the rain in the morning being given as the reason for the light vote. No disturbances were reported at the polls, which were located in schoolhouses and presided over by three judges. The returns were counted and the result announced in Criminal Court No. 1, which was tendered the committee by Chief Justice McCoy, of the District Supreme Court. Louis S. Gottlieb, Capt. J. Walter Mitchell and Harry A. Clarke composed the returning board. Women Take Part. A feature of the election was the participation of women. The first woman to vote was Mrs. Mary Kennedy, widow of a veteran soldier, who cast her ballot at the Thomson School. In a brief address she congratulated the District Republicans upon falling in line on woman suffrage. Commenting upon the result, Mr. Miller said that the orderly manner in which the election had been conducted was a complete refutation of the charge that an election in Washington "would cause a riot" and that "the ballot boxes would be bulging with ballots." He declared that he believed the National Committee would seat the delegation. He said he would do his utmost to have a plank inserted in the Republican National platform for self-determination for the people of the District. Col. Winfield Jones, chairman of the Republican regular committee, announced that the finance committee composed of Clarence F. Norment, president of the Bank of Washington; Col. Barry Bulkley and Andrew Thomas, would immediately start a campaign to raise a $100,000 fund for the Republican National Committee to elect a Republican President. Contributions will be received at the Bank of Washington. A BITTER SPEECH. J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama Justifies His Attack on a Colored Man in Washington—Colored Americans Leaving the South. Montgomery, Ala., May 5. Editor Washington Bee. Dear Sir: I am sending you an excerpt from the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser of May 4. of Tom Heflin's address, which is making our people here, pack up and go North. They haven't a chance here. "I am not surprised at O'Neal's attack on me for defending a white woman from the insults and insolence of a Washington Negro, since I have heard of his speech to the Negroes at Tuskegee, where he discussed lynching and denounced as murderers white men who put an end to the Negro who commits rape upon a white woman. He expressed the hope that the day would soon come when there will be no Negroes for my right arm. I would not have made that speech to those Negroes for my right arm. I would have told them that the only way to stop lynching is to stop the crime that causes it." WOMEN AT 50 LOOK 25 AND RETAIN THE CHARM OF YOUTH. A. T.

She was a native of Florida and was born a slave. Her husband, who also lived to advanced years, died in the city of Birmingham, Ala., four years ago. He was 108 at the time of his death. COLORED WAITERS. Asheville, N. C., May 9.—The colored waiter is coming into fashion again in this city. Colored waiters are now being used in the leading restaurants, being the first to return to their use. An interesting phase of the situation is that the white waiters are not trying to break away from the colored men, but are working side' by side with them. If the experiment proves a success, other cafes will adopt the plan, it is said. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Dr. R. R. Moton Making Preparations. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., May 8. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, announced today that President H. C. King, of Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, had accepted the invitation to deliver the annual commencement sermon on May 23, which date marks the beginning of the thirty-ninth anniversary exercises. Dr. W. S. Ellington, pastor of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, Tenn., will deliver the annual address to the graduating class of Phelps Hall Bible Training School on Monday evening, May 24. The exercises will conclude on Thursday, May 27, at which time the graduating exercises and the annual demonstrations of the industrial departments will be held. Bishop John Hurst, of the A. M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md., will deliver the commencement address on that date: The Class of 1910 will hold its reunion and will be represented on the commencement program by J. H. Ward, of Louisville, Ky. VISITING AT TUSKEGEE Tuskegee Institute, Ala., May 8. Major Allen' Washington; commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute, is a visitor here this week, as the guest of Principal and Mrs. Moton. Two distinguished educators of more than national reputation, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, Eton professor of the science of government in Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., and Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean of the school of theology, Yale University, New Haven, Conn., have been elected to membership upon the board of trustees of Howard University. Thus two of the oldest and most famous of American educational institutions become linked in interest and sympathy with the "Greater Howard" reconstruction movement. Dr. Hart was present at the inauguration. of Dr. Durkee as president of Howard University and delivered one of the notable addresses upon that occasion. Dean Brown attended the annual convocation recently held at Howard and spoke twice to interested groups of educators gathered from all parts of the country, and to the officers, teachers and students of the university. These splendid additions to the board of trustees, together with the recent nomination of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, of Oyster Bay, N. Y., indicate that Howard is, indeed, adding to her already strong board of trustees a group of dynamic forces to help her establish her claim to recognition as a university truly national. REV.

Washington's colored population followed the Wood-Harding contest for supremacy in Ohio more closely than the contest in any other State. The colored people throughout the country also followed that contest with interest. This was because that, from a racial standpoint, it developed in a contest between the Cleveland Advocate and Ralph W. Tyler on the one hand and the Cleveland Gazette and its editor, Harry C. Smith, on the other hand. The progress made by the Advocate in influence and circulation has somewhat dimmed the one time prominence of the Gazette, of which the country has heard but little since the Advocate became so aggressive. The Cleveland Advocate was the first colored newspaper in Ohio, if not in the country, to declare for Wood, and Ralph W. Tyler was the first colored man of national prominence in Ohio to come out for Wood. Tyler was chosen as chairman to direct the Wood campaign in Ohio. When the Harding managers awoke to the fact that the Advocate was making Wood converts by its unanswerable charges against Harding's record on the colored question, and that Tyler was putting up a very strong and effective Wood organization, Harry Smith, who for a number of years has not been active in Ohio politics, and his paper, the Gazette, which has uniformly opposed most colored Ohioans, was called into the fight. Instead of making a fight for Harding, as they should have done, Smith and his Gazette began a tirade of abuse against Tyler. But Tyler never replied; he just stuck to his knitting, that of booming Wood and showing up Harding's record on the color line. And we have failed to note that the Advocate ever mentioned the Gazette editorially. The result of the primary election in Ohio was a big victory for the Advocate and Tyler for Wood received the colored vote of that State practically solid. The Harding national headquarters in this city admit, on the face of returns, that Harding lost the colored vote in Ohio, and that the influence of the Advocate and the remarkable State-wide Wood organization effected by Tyler are responsible for the loss. While Harry C. Smith failed to make a "come back," Tyler did sustain his reputation for being an effective organizer and the Cleveland Advocate proved that it is a power among colored people in Ohio. Whether or not he will admit it, our fellow-editor, Harry Smith, must know that Tyler was the victor and that the Cleveland Advocate proved that colored voters out in turbulent Ohio rely on it for news and opinions. While not desiring to do injustice to Harry Smith, or belittle him, The Bee extends congratulations to the Cleveland Advocate, and especially to Ralph Tyler, whom the editor of The Bee has always esteemed highly, for the big, overwhelming victory they won in Ohio. Ralph Tyler is still a big feature in his own State and nationally because he is an uncompromising race man. You cannot knock out or kee a good man down. Men's colored population followed the W. Supremacy in Ohio more closely than the C. The colored people throughout the contest with interest. This was because, point, it developed in a contest between Ralph W.

Dr. Pinn, as a witness was a failure. The Parents' League has done its duty and it is to be commended. Nothing was done, however, until Dr. Jarvis and Mrs. Murray took an active part in the fight. Dr. Jarvis should have been designated to assist Mrs. Murray in presenting the cause of the parents to the Senate investigating committee. Dr. Pinn's testimony was a surprise. It was weak. He said nothing, but complimented a man who has been a failure as representative of the school. Mrs. Murray struck from the shoulder. Dr. Pinn, as a witness before the Senate committee, was a failure. committee, was a failure. Dr. Jarvis entered actively into the fight with Mrs. Murray, and carried the school question to Congress, where the bill was urged by the Parents' League, before anything was done. Roscoe Bruce, as a witness in his own defense, was a total failure. His attack on the dead, as well as his abuse of the living, did not benefit him in the least. The testing of R. C. Bruce before the Senate investigating committee, was a play upon words. He read from manuscript, and after he left his prepared document, Senator Harrison of Mississippi caused Bruce to go and come. For some time Bruce didn't know whether he was standing, or sitting. His attack on the late, R. W. Thompson, was unjustifiable. Mr. Thompson's daughter was shamefully beaten after she had successfully passed the examination as a teacher in the domestic science, and was entitled to the position. The career of Roscoe Conkling Bruce is at an end. He may succeed for a short time in rewarding those who were subservient to him and attempt to ignore those who are entitled to consideration. The recommendation to retain Professor John C. Nalle and Dr. Montgomery, should not be approved by the superintendent, Dr. Thurston. The Colored teachers have great faith in him. If there are to be removals from the school, Roscoe C. Bruce should be retired at once. Again reverting to the Parents' League, it deserves the support of the people, and Dr. Jarvis, who made such a good fight for the people in connection with the Parents' League, is to be commended; and too much cannot be said of Mrs. Tanner, Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Chestnut, Mrs. Warfield and many other noble women who fought for the purification of the Colored schools. The end is not yet. Long live the Parents' League. Professor Moens at his next trial will testify and give the names of every naked pose. Those who have been hiding behind a screen will have to come from behind. DR. SMITH. Dr. W. L.

ENTER METHODIST MINISTRY Christian Work Among Women, Who Dedicate Lives to Christian Service. New York City, May 5.—Twenty-three Wiley University students volunteered for the Methodist ministry, and eighty-one women students dedicated their lives to some form of Christian service during the three weeks' session at the university at Marshall, Tex., of the Centenary School for Rural Pastors last March. "Emphasis placed on making the rural church an agency of community service, economically, socially and educationally, was what won me," declared one of the students who volunteered for the ministry. "The Centenary program for making the church of practical aid to country people in their business, their work and their play is mighty fine I want to have a hand in it." Strange sights were seen at Wiley during the sessions of the rural pastors' school. Preachers butchered, salted and smoked a hog, learning the proper processes. Stripped of their coats and with sleeves rolled up, they ploughed and planted a patch of land and fenced it with brush. They made tin cups from tin cans, and also made scoops, fly traps and fireless cookers. One afternoon the entire sixty-nine in attendance from rural colored charges in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas pruned the trees on the campus. Two afternoons the preachers spent cleaning and raking lawns and backyards: They planted a hundred shrubs and vines on the campus and nearly surrounded one large dormitory with ivy. They stretched a tremendous clothesline for the girl students of the dormitories, who had been hanging their washings on a barbed-wire fence. Finally, just to show they were good sports as well as workers the preachers, with a "pick-up" club played the Wiley baseball club and won by a score of 5 to 4. Attention was given to the question of colored pastors encouraging their people to, own land, and the operations of the Federal Farm Loan Banks and the methods of procuring loans were explained in detail. Fully half the time of the school course was given to the problems of home and community. betterment. Such subjects as evangelism, religious education, church finances, church publicity and sermon-building occupied the morning hours. But as soon as luncheon had been eaten the preachers took off their coats, rolled up their sleeves and pitched in to learn by practical application how to guide country people up the ladder of better living. Rev. Ralph A. Felton, educational secretary of the Rural Work Department of the Methodist Board of Home Missions, was in charge of the school. Bishop Thirkield, of New Orleans, who was to have been on hand the major part of the time, was stricken with "flu" and was able to be present only the closing days. "This school at Wiley," said Dr. Felton, "starts the second year of Mr. Toler puts the blame for much of the misery of the world squarely up to those to whom he claims it belongs. That is, he voices what would seem to be a self-evident fact when he says that the world, which condemns the woman who falls, does not go far enough into the question, and that it is her parents, who allowed her to grow up in ignorance of the stern facts of life, who should be arraigned before the bar of judgment. The author does not seek to make our series of summer schools for pastors all over the country. These summer schools form one of the projects of the Centenary. They are intended to help rural pastors to make their churches a fundamental institution of rural life by furthering community development in every aspect." CLARENCE M. DEVEILE.

Mothers and fathers of daughters will find themselves arraigned before the bar of truth at the Howard Theatre next week, when the Lafayette Players produce what has been called the most powerful and sensational drama of the generation, Sidney Toller "Garden of Love." They will be asked without mincing of words whether it is not they who are responsible for most of the ruined innocence of the world—responsible because, through a policy of mistaken modesty and a disinclination to face the truths of life, they have allowed their daughters to grow up and to go forth into life unarmed by that knowledge which would have proved a buckler against the wiles of unprincipled men. With a daring that marks him as one of the most important figures among the playwrights of today, Sidney Toler, the author, has taken certain problems of life that, hidden though they are usually allowed to remain, veritably shriek for discussion, and through the medium of a play that is vital, thrilling and powerful, he has set them forth before the world.

His drama is not peopled by puppets, but by those men and women we see about us in the strenuous life of today, working out their destinies amid the conditions with which we are all familiar in a way, but have seldom brought so directly home to us. Mr. Toler holds that the only way to remedy those destructive elements which we know exist but which too many of us are too falsely modest to discuss is to hold them up to the light, that we may behold them in their full hideousness. And this he has done with a daring as rare as his play is powerful. MASONIC VISITATION.

Never was seen such a perfect baptism, never was heard such soul-stirring testimonies as took place at the Second Baptist Church last Sunday morning, with the Mothers' Council in charge, Deacon Isaac Peyton, of the Third Church, prayed as never before, and Rev. Geo. Powell's advice to the parents concerning the younger ones was both timely and well given. Among those who spoke was Richard Powell, better known as "Dick Scott" years ago, who came over on the Lord's side and will be baptized and received into the church next Sunday night, May 16. At the end of the services the Mothers' Council turned over to Rev. Powell the key to his study, which they have completed for his use when at the church.

With many years of experience in the work, the Sunday School should prosper under his leadership. As Sunday was Mothers' Day, the pastor took for his subject "Moses," showing the love a mother has for her child. His sermon was highly appreciated by the large congregation.

Thursday night Dr. Madden spoke in the largest church in St. Louis. His support is beginning to come in from every angle; the leading ministers of the country are following after him, and say that Dr. Madden's movement for the free and independent state for the colored people is the only solution of the race question. --- PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. Now we have three sets of delegates, Bradshaw would have had a good chance to be seated had he submitted his claims to the voters instead of having a star-chamber organization similar to the hand-picked Ebbitt House farce. I have heard of many things in politics, in fact, I have seen many things, but the convention of the hand-picked was the most brazen I have ever witnessed. The most amusing thing of all was the notice sent to the delegates, or alleged delegates, to attend the Ebbitt House sideshow. Mrs. Julia M. Layton was sent for and informed that she had been elected a delegate-at-large. I never knew that local delegates to a local convention were designated "delegates-at-large." Delegates-at-large are deligates elected by a State convention or a convention in which all local delegates assemble to elect delegates-at-large. Now, there was Brother W. H. Jernagin, who is known in Oklahoma as a preacher-politician. He knows more about politics and race riots than he knows about preaching. He is alleged to have represented the old fourteenth district. Now, if Brother Jernagin were asked the boundaries of the fourteenth district he couldn't tell you. If Brother Jernagin were really running as a delegate to a local convention, he would never be elected until he made a report of the riot fund. Of course, Brother Jernagin was glad of the opportunity to be a hand-picked delegate. It is a mighty good thing that he was picked, because the Republicans of the fourteenth district never would have elected him. Speaking about local politics, the Miller and Scott ticket is just as regular as any of the other two tickets; in fact, more so. The people were given an opportunity to vote. Chapman Brown, I see, is in the race. When he had an opportunity to be National Committeeman in 1916, he was playing both sides of the fence. He reminded me of the dog who saw his shadow in the water with a bone in his mouth. He let loose the bone he had to go for the shadow, and he lost both. Well, take a small man who has been used to much and he will soon lose his head. The most amusing hand-picked delegate was Whitfield McKinley. Don't you know, he really believes that he amounts to something. He is a back number, but he hasn't sense enough to realize it. He ought to take a tumble, and soon at that. Doc Perry disappointed the patrons at the Lewis recital at Dunbar last week. These professional players who have won their reputations by receiving the support of the people should not disappoint when they are booked to be present. Now, I like Doc Perry, and I want him to succeed, but he should know that an engagement is a legal as well as a moral obligation. *** It is stated that the new boat that is to run to River View is to charge for engagements $1,000 per diem. If this is a fact, I am of the opinion that the boat will be at rest all the summer. SABBATICAL LEAVE GRANTED HOWARD INSTRUCTORS. Sabbatical leave has been granted by the trustees of. Howard University to four of its teachers during the school term 1920-1921. Prof. Charles H. Wesley, of the Department of History, has been awarded an Austin teacher's scholarship in Harvard University, and will study for the Ph. D. degree next year. Prof. Martha MacLear, of the School of Education, is planning to study at Columbia University, being registered for the degree of Ph. D. Miss MacLear's study will be the "History of Education." She will also do some work in sociology. Prof. Thomas W. Turner, acting dean of the School of Education and professor of applied biology, will continue research work in vegetable physiology at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. This particular line of research has large agricultural significance, and for this reason the United States Department of Agriculture has given him ample facilities in the last few years for carrying on investigation in its laboratories. Also because of the important bearing which these investigations have in the field of agriculture, the department sent him to Northern Maine Experimental Laboratory, where better facilities were offered for carrying on his investigations in connection with the sterility of the white potato. Prof. Turner will give attention, while at Cornell next year, also to education, particularly to agricultural education. Prof. George W. Hines, assistant professor in the School of Commerce and Finance, will attend the Univer- sity of Washington at Seattle. His major work will be in corporation finance, while he will also take certain studies in accounting and business organization. The university trustees have generously voted, a substantial portion of the yearly salaries received by these professors along with the year's absence. AMPHIONS' RECITAL SUCCESS The well-known Amphion Glee Club presented the Portsmouth Melody Club, of Portsmouth, Va., in a song recital at Dunbar High School May 6, and the large auditorium was filled with friends of each organization and music lovers generally. The program was well arranged, and judging from the numerous encores that were heartily given, the various selections were greatly enjoyed. Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, principal of Dunbar High School, made the welcome address, after which the program was turned over to Director J. Henry Lewis, who presented the Amphions, twenty in number, who made a fine appearance in their faultless full-dress attire, and sang as only they can. The Portsmouth Melody Club was presented next, under the direction of Mrs. Blanche K. Thomas, pianist-directress, and the work of this organization was up to the usual standard of excellence. Mrs. Thomas is an excellent accompanist and showed perfect familiarity with the work done by her double quartet, composed of male and female voices. A pleasing feature at the closing of the program was the rendition of "Good Night, Beloved" (Tosti), by both clubs ensemble, directed by Mr. J. Henry Lewis. This alone was worth more than the price of admission. Quite a reception was held by each organization immediately following the program. Many friends from Baltimore, Md., and other near-by places were present. May 14 the Amphions pay a visit to Portsmouth, Va., where they will appear under the auspices of the Portsmouth Melody Club. L. G. GREGORY IN THE CITY. Louis G. Gregory arrived in the city this week in time to attend the closing sermons of the Southern Sociological Society, with its interracial conference. Mr. Gregory has covered a wide field, parts of 23 States, during the past fourteen months. The Bohai principles and ideals which he advocates, have attracted general attention and interest. With others of his friends in Washington, he has recently attended the Bohai convention, in New York City, where he spoke on "The Unity of Mankind." This convention selected out. of many beautiful architectural exhibits plans for the Mashirekol Azkar. This is the Bahai temple or universal house of worship, whose foundation is, "Prejudice Toward None, Love for All." This is the first great temple of its kind in the Western world, and will be located on the shores of Lake Michigan, in Chicago. Later, Mashrekol Azkars will be built in every city. He will make an effort, during his stay in Washington, to bring about more of trust, mutual sympathy and understanding between the races, according to the Bahai ideals, which are constructive. In this effort, it is hoped the community will, as far as possible, co-operate with him. He reports the colored people making wonderful progress in every section of the country he has visited. SEGREGATION KNOCKED OUT The regular monthly meeting of the Pedic Society No. 2, was held last Tuesday afternoon, at 4 o'clock. The meeting was called to order by the president, after admitting a new member to the Society. The president and members jointly agreed to discuss the matter of affiliation with the local District of Columbia-Pedic Society, as a branch of same. Twice the president has gone beyond her rights as president, and corresponded with and did affiliate Pedic Society No. 2, with the above mentioned, without caution of the latter. Dr. Carter was appointed 'Chairman, and as Drs. Green and Smith were the contending parties, both set forth their side admirably. Dr. Green stated that it was the custom here in the District for colored persons organized, to join similar branches of white organizations, and become recognized. Dr. Smith argued it would be deplorable for the profession here to set a precedent for the States whereby the National Association of Chiropodists would have to make a law for the admission of colored societies as branches of their representative affiliated societies in the States. Now all Chiropodists, white or colored, only have to make affiliation to the local State Society and be admitted to the N. A. C. Thereby they become members of the local affiliated society, as well, if accepted. Dr. Smith moved that the members of the Pedic Society No. 2 make application to N. A. C., through the local affiliation society; as individuals, and not as a branch or organization; it was seconded and carried. He moved again, and obtained a second, that the secretary be ordered to correspond with the secretary of the local Pedic Society, that the matter of affiliation which had been carried on by Dr. H. E. Green, the president, was unauthorized by our society, and for the reason that it was not official, and that it did not have the seal of our society, or was recorded in our minutes; or discussed at any of our meetings by the society. Desire to withdraw the affiliation was made by our-president. The president then desired that the society dissolve. ANACOSTIA NEWS. Birney Public School was open on Saturday to District voters who cared to cast a ballot for delegates to the Republican Convention, to be held at Chicago, in June. Saturday primaries were held under the auspices of the Bob Miller-Scott party. Judge R. H. Lewis, of Howard road, will soon speak out, touching on the manner of holding these primaries. Forty seven years with one business firm of Washington, is the record made by Mr. J. W. Scott, of this suburb. Mr. Scott has been connected with the firm of S. W.

Parents going to work daily, and their children attending the high schools. In some cases, as many as six members are compelled to ride 96 cents worth daily, and is quite a hardship. Mr. and Mrs. Newton, the owners of Green Willow Park, are canvassing for signatures of properly owners, in order to conform with a District regulation, which requires them to secure signers within a radius of 1,000 feet from the park, before they can operate the park. Churches, clubs and societies should begin at once filing letters to the Board of Commissioners, urging them to grant license to this season's opening of the park. MUSICAL NOTES.

Atlanta, Ga., April 21.—Thousands of people witnessed the commencement exercises of Morris Brown College today in Bethel A. M. E. Church. This was said to be the most successful year in the history of the institution, and the trustees were well pleased with the report by President W. A. Fountain. The graduates from the various departments were distributed as follows: Classical The- ologica, 1; English Theologica, 3; College, 4; Normal, 21; Commercial, 38; Music, 1; Sewing, 2; Domestic Science, 22; Printing, 2. Bishop Levi J. Coppen, of Philadelphia, Pa., delivered the sermon on last Sunday afternoon, and this was followed by the annual address to the literary societies Monday night in the chapel by Rev. Dr. J. G. McGill, of Orangeburg, S. C., and the alumni address Tuesday night in the chapel of the college by Dr. S. M. Pitts, of Elberton, Ga. The report of Dr. W. A. Fountain to the trustees, made Tuesday morning, showed many improvements. The purchase of a house and lot at the cost of $5,000 for community work, the examination of the normal professionals by the state supervisor, and granting the normal graduates, state certificates was the occasion of much comment. It was the first time in the history of the school. Bishop J. S. Flipper presided over the trustees and made an able address commending the work of the president of the university. Georgia will leave the city next week for the general conference at St. Louis, Mo., in a special train of Pullman sleepers and dining car. It is declared by the delegates that they will return not with President Fountain but with Bishop Fountain. TWENTY-THREE COLORED SOLDIERS INDICTED Santa Fe, N.

PARKER uses this table in his office in treating the spine and nerves. 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.
