The Washington Bee The Capital's Calamity VOL. XL. NO. 52 The WHAT WILL THE PO ALLEY DWE ALLEY DWELLERS. Ten Thousand To Be Turned Into The Streets—No Provisions Made For the Poor—What Will the People Do? What is to become of those people now living in the alleys and soon, to be kicked into the streets, with no provision made for their future shelter, should give the authorities very grave concern. In an effort to abolish the city slums, Congressional action forces those who reside in these undesirable sections to vacate and move elsewhere any time within one year after the peace declaration is signed. House shortage in the District is causing undue apprehension, and with this lately acquired congestion added to the much-muddled question, those attempting to solve the problem find an other trying burden thrust upon them. These folks are the poorly paid labor of the municipality, who consume most all they make and have comparatively nothing left to shoulder any measure that would tend to increase their responsibility. Something should be done to help these poor unfortunate victims and not have to be pitched outdoors with no place to go; in many instances to become destitute public charges. The Emergency Housing Board, of which Rev. J. Milton Waldron is president, is making research into the matter and working energetically to formulate some plan that will be a means by which permanent relief may be guaranteed these residents. The southwest and southeast sections, which contain most of these "yennores," were visited last week, and the impression conveyed was that immediate action was necessary in order to have suitable places ready for these tenants when they are ousted from their present location. Rev. Waldron, he never, is optimistic and believes things will come out all right. He expressed an opinion the other day that Congress in all probability will take care of the situation and not permit the city to become a dump- ing ground for its own wants. Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Washington, has offered two bills, one providing for an appropriation from the Federal Treasury, and the other for a municipal bond issue, to build 4,000 model, sanitary, fire-proof dwellings for those rendered homeless, to be rented or sold them at cost. Either bill would answer the purpose and prevent the wholesale suffering bound to occur when the law goes into effect. Engineer Commissioner Clarles W. Kuttz, on an inspection trip, representing the District Government, said that the alley population, principally colored, was 10,000, according to the last census, and that this number doubtless would be without homes when the new mandate became a statute. Law or no law, these people should be cared for, and a government that deems it worth while to suppress vice in one form should not open a way for it to flourish in another. To let loose vast lordes of humanity into the public thoroughfare, with the understanding that they must "root, little pig, or die." is shockingly shameful. These evicted individuals are entitled to living quarters much better than the ones they had, and since the move is intended to improve the moral, social and sanitary condition of the Nation's Capital, no stone should be left unturned to see that this is done. The issue is paramount, yet it is as equally important that the square deal should be given those likely to be inconvenienced and unable to cope with the new requirements. From Savannah. (Ga.) Press, May 5. Rev. N. H. Whitmire, pastor of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, colored, who brought Rev. Alexander Willbanks, the "Black Billy Sunday," to Savannah to conduct a series of services at his church, has completed arrangements for the appearance of the evangelist before the white people of Savannah. Rev. Willbanks will preach at the Chatham Artillery Hall, on Bull street and Park avenue, Sunday afternoon at 4. o'clock to white people. There will be singing by the chior of Mt. Tabor Church. No doubt this service will be attended by a great many people who have been anxious to hear the colored evangelist. Rev. Whitmire called upon M. Stewart a few days ago and received his endorsement of the plan to have the evangelist give one service to white people. The mayor tried to get the auditorium for the service, but it was engaged for Sunday afternoon, so arrangements had to be made for another location. Rev. Willbanks has created marked interest in the cities he has visited. He was heard by large congregations in Charleston. It is anticipated a large crowd will hear him Sunday. The retirement bill that passed Congre, last week was signed by the President Monday. In the first class of pensioners are those who have served thirty years or more, who will get 60 per cent of their average annual basic salary. This annuity in no case is to exceed $720 or be less than $360. In the second class are those who have served twenty-seven years or more, but less than thirty years, who are to receive 54 per cent of their average annual basic salary. This annuity is in no case to be more than $648, or less than $324. In the third class are those who have served twenty-four years or more, but less than twenty-seven, who will receive 48 per cent. In no case is this to exceed $576 or be less than $288. In the fourth class are those who have served twenty-one years, or more, but less than twenty-four years, and they will receive 42 per cent. In no case is this to be more than $504 or less than $255. In the fifth class are those who have served eighteen years or more, but less than twenty-one years; and they will receive 36 per cent. In no case is this to be more than $432 or less than $216. The general run of employees retired after fifteen years or more of service, but less than eighteen years, will receive 30 per cent and in no case shall this be more than $360 or less than $180.

SATURDAY, MAY 29,1920 "BLACK BILLY SUNDAY" IS HEARD BY LARGE WHITE CONGREGATION Picturesque Negro Evangelist Preaches in Graphic, Epigrammatic Style on "A Man Saved Without Prayer" at Chatham Artillery Hall. STRIKING SAYINGS OF "BLACK BILLY SUNDAY" The "Black Billy Sunday" is as epigrammatic as his white contemporary. Here are a few sayings which he uttered to white people yesterday afternoon: "You can't convince a man who wants to fight." "I like white people and they like me and I've never had to fight them for they fight for me." "God help the man who has no desire to help somebody else." "A life without Jesus is a failure." "The world is going to be saved by what we do." "I had rather die a leper than a sinner." "Men and women must be brought to Jesus." Preaching to several hundred white people yesterday afternoon at the Chatham Artillery Hall, the Rev. Alexander Willbanks, known as the "Black Billy Sunday," delivered a series of solar plexus punches into the midriffs of the devil. The choir from Mt. Tabor Church, where Willbanks is conducting a revival, was present and opened the services with singing. After reading a versal verse from the second chapter of the gospel of St. Mark, the preacher announced his subject. "A Man Saved Without Prayer." He said that many people have queer ideas about religion: they believe that it turns one all around. "If it turns you all around you are still going in the same direction, are you not?" he asked: "I am an old-fashioned preacher and believe in the old-time religion. I believe when a man gets religion he must feel something and his heart must be touched. If you don't feel anything you haven't got anything and nothing from nothing leaves nothing." He then told of the casting out of the evil spirit from the crazed man. My Jesus and mentioned that Jesus told him to keep the matter secret. He thanked God that we don't have to hide the works of Jesus at present. The minister picturesquely told of being aboard a ship at sea during a storm in the midst of which his wife had fainted. He told of hearing the wireless message going from the ship. "I then knelt over my wife and sent a message all the way to God," he declared. He then gave a vivid description of the four men who, having faith in the power of Jesus, brought a disease man to the house in which Jesus was stopping and let him down from the roof. "Here was a man saved without prayer," he cited. The preacher, told of an old Negro out in Mississippi who was fond of cursing and abusing his mule. One day while plowing he got mad with the mule and bit a piece out of his car. The man was later converted. He came home from church and put his arms around the mule's neck and begged his pardon. "If religion will make a man beg a mule's pardon, what will it cause us to do for our fellow man?" he inquired. Appropriate songs were sung by the choir in honor of mother, the occasion being Mother's Day. The Rev. John S. Wilder, pastor of Calvary Baptist Temple, said a few words: "I recognize this man as a servant from God and he couldn't go up and down the country among the best people on hot air," said Mr. Wilder. "There must be something back of what he says. I have been preaching for several months myself and I never could get anywhere on hot air. The difference between services at a colored church and those at a white are that the colored people take up the collection after the sermon while the white people on the other hand take it up before the sermon, so that no one can escape." He then put a table out in front of the audience and as the people passed out they placed offerings, upon it. When the evangelist began his sermon all the seats in the hall had been taken and many were standing. He told of the origin of his sobriquet. A Philadelphia newspaper man heard him preach and after hearing him gave him a column story, calling him the "Black Billy Sunday." He at first objected to the nick-name and asked the editor of the paper not to call him by it for fear the original Billy Sunday would object. But it seems that the editor caused his apprehensions in this score and explained to that large crowds would attend his first night meetings if he went under this appellation. He then told the editor to call him anything he chose. An effort was made to secure the auditorium for the meeting yesterday afternoon, but it was already engaged, and arrangements had to be made for another location. The evangelist has attracted much attention in a number of the large cities of the country, among them Philadelphia, New York and St. Louis. He came here from Charleston, where he addressed large audiences at a three-weeks' meeting. The meeting began last Tuesday night at the Mt. Tabor Baptist Church. At the last national Baptist convention Rev. Willbanks was recognized as a world-wide evangelist EDUCATORS MEET Baltimore, Md., May 20.—John M. Gandy, president of the State Normal School at Petersburg, Va., who is also president of the National Association of Teachers in the Colored Schools, has been visiting the State Teachers' Associations of Kentucky, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania, and outlining the program of the national association meeting, which will be held in Baltimore on July 28-31. President Gandy has announced that the educational program will include the following sections: Colleges. John Hope of Atlanta, chairman; secondary schools, Garnett Wilkinson, Washington, D.

Williams, Tuskegee Institute; and community service Mrs. Ida P. Liston, Washington. That white and colored leaders are deeply interested in the improvement of educational facilities for the youth of twelve million Negro Americans is shown by the fact that the following men and women have accepted invitations to speak: Governor Ritchie of Maryland; Dr. P. P. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner of Education; M. Bates Stephens, State Superintendent of Education for Maryland; Principal Moton of Tuskegee; Principal Gregg of Hampton; Mayor Broening of Baltimore; Professor Woodson of Howard; Mrs. Bethune of Daytona, Fla.; Mrs. W.

Special cars will bring delegations from South Carolina and Georgia. George B. Murphy, 628 North Eutaw street, Baltimore, is chairman of the local committee of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. Twenty-two Martyrs of Uganda Honored As Were Ancient Christian Heroes of The Arena. It is not generally known that the Catholic Church confers the highest honors she bestows on anyone upon members of the colored race, elevating those who have excelled by a saintly life or the death of martyrdom to the ranks of the "blessed" and of the "saints." An event involving the beatification of natives of Africa transpired on May 13th and 15th in St. Peter's Church in Rome, when twenty-two of them were honored in a manner similar to that in which the heroes of the arena in the early Christian days were glorified. Under the observance of a most solemn ritual Pope Benedict XV on those days proclaimed to the assembled congregation and to the world that the twenty-two martyrs of Uganda had been raised to the ranks of the blessed. These young men were pages to King Muanga. Because of their firm refusal to deny Christ and to do homage to the fetishes, of their pagan bretherm, thirteen of their number were burned to death and nine suffered martyrdom in various ways. The event transpired in 1886. The solemn ceremonies which marked the beatification of these African, youths in recognition of their Christian fortitude were prefaced by a most careful investigation into all the circumstances connected with their martyrdom. The Catholic Church is exceedingly cautious in the processes of beatification and cannonization, which lead up to the solemn and official designation of the subjects as blessed or as saints. The Uganda martyrs were honored simultaneously with Joan of Arc, the maid of Orleans, whose veneration the world over as the valiant defender of France in centuries past is as much a matter of history as were her courageous actions and ignominious death under circumstances proving her sainthood. It is also a noteworthy fact that a number of French nuns were beatified on the same occasion, having died as martyrs during the great French Revolution. "Beatification" in the Catholic Church is the act by which the Pope of Rome decrees the title of blessed to one already known as a venerable servant of God. It gives leave in specified places of public liturgical honors to be given to those who have been declared blessed. It is a preparation for cannonization, and implies that the servant of God has led a life of heroic sanctity, that at his intercession miracles have been wrought after his death, and that he enjoys the reward of Heaven. In the papal consistory, held on March 8th, at Rome, Pope Benedict dwelt at length on the glorious example of moral courage given by the twenty-two Uganda martyrs, whose Christian fortitude, he said, was worthy of emulation by all mankind. THE HOWARD THEATRE. "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"—The Title of The Season. In drama, like in all else, great events only occur seldom. In the dramatic field many plays are written and produced. They have their vogue for a time, but then something else comes along and the public forgets that which they saw or read yesterday. This is not only in drama and literature, but in everything. It is seldom in this day of rush and bustle that a book, song or play is produced that halts us long enough to pay attention. When Mr. Stevenson wrote his play, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and Mr. Mansleld produced it, the theatre-going people, not only in America, but all over the world, whereever drama is played, halted to find out what it was about. "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was in the air. Why? Mr. Stevenson had written a character like no play or book had ever shown us; yet if we in our rush and hustle would only stop long enough to observe our surroundings we would find Dr. Jekylls and Mr. Hydes very close to us. To go further, all we would have to do is stop and question ourselves, and we would see the Jekyll and Hyde in ourselves, and, as the immortal Burns truly said, "Would t' God the gift t' g'e us, to see oursel's as others see us." In "Dr. Jekyll, and Mr. Hyde" Mr. Stevenson created a character that saw himself, better than others saw him, who not only had studied others, but himself as well. So Jekyll set out to eradicate the Mr. Hyde from out of himself. He wanted to create a man without evil, a being God-like. How well he succeeded proves that no man can tamper with the will of God, who in His infinite wisdom created man for a purpose, with good and evil in him, and no more I can change it. "Trifle not with the will of God." A play with subject matter like "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" will live when up-to-date play is forgotten. In fact, as one of our great men truly said. "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" should be seen once a year by everyone The Lafayette Players will play the original Richard Mansfield version, and it will be given with the same detail and effect as when done by that artist during his career in the play.

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.

One would presume that the present-day leadership among colored Americans would be an improvement over the leadership of former days. Politicians in former years, ignorant as they may have been styled, demonstrated more hard sense and manhood than this present-day leadership. As a leader, the late John Mercer Langston was the greatest and the safest leader among colored Americans. The young men, and, indeed, the entire colored race lost the most manly and the most unselfish leader in John Mercer Langston. Has there ever been a man his equal since his death? The hall of fame should contain a statue of this orator, scholar and diplomat in preference to all others. He saw great possibilities in his race and, if he were alive today he would be surprised and disgusted with the present-day leadership among his people. presume that the present-day leaders would be an improvement over the Politicians in former years, ignorant, demonstrated more hard sense and leadership. As a leader, the law the greatest and the safest leader is the young men, and, indeed, the entirely and the most unselfish leader is there ever been a man his equal one should contain a statue of this or reference to all others. He saw great use were alive today he would be supersent-day leadership among his peers, stupidity and cowardice, this presides these elements. If there ever was bad people, this so-called Race Congenance to the intelligence of colored men attempt to resurrect it should exist. Just think of the hundred race collected and no report made ofists of ignorance and stupidity. If organizations have collected had been a National Association for the Advancement what could have been accomplished people. The politicians in the Republican class of men who have no thought are willing and ready to accept and readers and sacrifice twelve million real allies who have made this country. The colored citizens seem to post party leaders respect. This is all duophantic present-day colored leaders. The Republican party has selected voters who have lived in States who have been abridged and their manhood more be expected from this present-case been enlightened or the conditionership? Compare, if you please, the next-day leadership. Take the men in compare them with the men of this day you must come will be that the Narrancement of Colored People is the s For weakness, stupidity and cowardice, this present-day leadership possesses these elements. If there ever was a stigma cast upon the colored people, this so-called Race Congress has played its part. It is a menace to the intelligence of colored Americans, and if it should ever attempt to resurrect it should be immediately stamped out of existence. Just think of the hundreds of dollars this elephant on the race collected and no report made of the funds. Its leadership consists of ignorance and stupidity. If the money this and similar organizations have collected had been turned into the treasury of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, just see what could have been accomplished for a despised and ostracized people. The politicians in the Republican party have selected as advisors a class of men who have no thought or opinion of their own, but are willing and ready to accept and obey the dictates of party leaders and sacrifice twelve million or more of the faithful and loyal allies who have made this country safe for a sham democracy. The colored citizens seem to possess no rights or privileges that party leaders respect. This is all due to the humiliating and sycophantic present-day colored leadership with but a few exceptions. The Republican party has selected men to represent the colored voters who have lived in States where their constitutional rights have been abridged and their manhood suppressed. Can anything more be expected from this present-day leadership? Have the masses been enlightened or the condition improved under such a leadership? Compare, if you please, the past leadership with the present-day leadership. Take the men in the days of Langston and compare them with the men of this day, and the conclusion to which you must come will be that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the salvation of the oppressed. EVANGELIST WILLBANKS. t ovation was given Dr. Willbanks, who on their arrival in Savannah, Ga. T a large committee of pastors, who o f in the depot. They then paraded t with a brass band, mounted white p and a mighty host. Thousands che e church. Another great ovation was given Dr. Willbanks, world evangelist, and his wife on their arrival in Savannah, Ga. They were met at the depot by a large committee of pastors, who delivered their welcome-address in the depot. They then paraded through all the business streets, with a brass band, mounted white policemen, and carrying banners and a mighty host. Thousands cheered all along the streets to the church. On Sunday afternoon he preached exclusively to white people in the Chatham Artillery Hall and three thousand white people were present. This meeting was arranged by the white people and the mayor of the city, the white pastors taking up the collection. During his sermon the audience was bathed in tears. Two hundred of this vast number were converted, it taking an hour for the evangelist to shake hands with the people, who were anxious to shake his hand and congratulate him for the wonderful sermon. GREAT EVANGELIST AND SMALL PREACHER. Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen and read, with interest excerpts from two of the leading journals in Savannah, Ga., concerning the ovation that was given Evangelist Willbanks by the white and colored citizens of that city. It is quite evident that Rev. Willbanks has the respect and confidence of both races, and the ovation he received in the South last week is an evidence of the esteem in which he is held by the people. In this city he has the opposition of one minister, who murders the King's English every time he preaches, and who sets himself up as a moralist, whose organization has collected many thousand dollars of the people's money for rioters of which no report has been made as yet. Between this minister's English and Rev. Willbank's morals, The Bee ventures the assertion that the people in this community would rather accept the evangelist, who is regarded by the people in this country as the greatest preacher in the United States. If the preacher-president of the so-called Race Congress went South and was advertised to speak in Savannah, Ga., and Dr. Willbanks was advertised to speak on the same night or day, the preacher-president of the Race Congress would not have hearers enough to warm his place of meeting in July weather. This same preacher-president has continued his tirade against the evangelist until he is suffering with nervous prostration. A few weeks ago, he declared to a distinguished gentleman from the South that the latter would not be permitted to preach in his pulpit because he was a friend of Evangelist Willbanks. The Christian (?) brother of the Race Congress should commit the following to memory: "A man once did sell the lion's skin, while the beast still lived, was killed while hunting him." A COWARDLY ASSASSIN. The recent killing of T. Morgan Moore and assault of his companion, Sunday morning, near the south end of the Highway Bridge, was one of the most brutal and cowardly that has taken place in this vicinity for a number of years. No man; white or black, is safe. No female, no matter what the color, may be safe, either alone or with company. What must be done to protect life and property? The recent killing of T. Morgan, Sunday morning, near Bridge, was one of the most brute place in this vicinity for a numb black, is safe. No female, no man either alone or with company. W and property?

Should he be thus honored? Not satisfied with having murdered the female's companion, he makes an effort to get her and commit another more henious crime. Wm. H. Turner should be given, of course, a legal sentence, but that sentence should be this: "The sentence of the court is that he be taken from the jail not later than June 1, stripped of his clothing, tied to a post and given one hundred lashes; thoroughly salted and peppered and then carried to a scaffold and hanged by the neck until he is dead." Such a sentence and public execution will deter others who have such criminal characteristics. This murder was as cowardly as the assassination of the President of the Mexican Government. This brute should be given an immediate trial and there should be quick execution of the sentence. WILL IT BE DONE? Two Prominent Local Educators Slated For Retirement: From semi-official sources comes the information that an attempt will be made to retire Prof. J. C. Xalle and Dr. W. S. Montgomery, supervising principles in the public schools, at the end of the present term. This news is received with painful reluctance on the part of the teaching fraternity and the public at large. It is earnestly hoped any such action will be promptly checked and those involved saved an unprecedented injustice. Mr. Nalle and Dr. Montgomery are men of rare ability, rich in experience, and know their work from "a" to "z." Why they should be placed on the condemned list and consigned to the junk pile presupposes only one thing—"their minds didn't run along with the mind of someone else." The desire of the school administration to terminate the official life of these two gentlemen is attracting considerable notoriety, and those who are unwilling to take the idea kindly claim the game that's being played is very unsportmanlike and that the cards are being shuffled under cover. If the powers to be are twisting the pension law to meet certain whimsical fancies, wielding the ax upon the heads of those still deserving and shielding those who ought to go, the fact should be exposed. It would be well for Superintendent Thurston not to keep his car too close to the ground, look carefully into some of the recommendations placed before him, and see each case stands on its own merit. SMITH—HARROLD RECITAL. On Friday, June 4th, at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, two of the race's leading artists will appear in recital, each an artist in their chosen fields—Ethel Hardy Smith, lyric soprano, of Boston, Mass., and Kemper-Harrold, premier violinist, of Chicago, Ill. Rarely has musical Washington been permitted to hear these leaders from the East and the West. They come to Washington for the first time, after gaining laurels from other parts of the country. As a race, we are beginning to secure a very highly specialized group of musicians, who merit the unqualified support of the race. Madam Smith has appeared frequently with the race's leading tenor, Roland W. Hayes, now in Europe, in recitals. Both are products of the Vincent Hubbard Studio in Boston. They are sterling representatives of the methods of the efficient and experienced teacher. Her initial appearance was made with Mr. Hayes in Boston. Of this appearance a. Boston daily says: "By the hearty recognition, of her singing by the audience, Ethel Hardy Smith has cause to feel that Boston welcomes her among her best artists." The Musical Courier adds: "She has a tone of considerable range and clarity, and it carries sufficient material to make it expressive of the singer's appreciation of music and text. She was particularly effective in her singing of the lovely Chere Nuit. Mrs. Smith was warmly applauded and sang several encores." Her concertes in Philadelphia were great successes. Her singing is brilliant, her voice vibrant, and her interpretation artistic. The East has accorded her its recognition. Kemper Harrold has established his reputation as an artist in the Middle West. At present he is head of the Conservatory at Morehouse College, Atlanta Ga. His reputation as a musical director has been made, and as a concert artist he has been called "the premier violinist of the race." He plays with marvelous ease and finish, and is a master of the technical difficulties of violin expression. One critic adds: "Kemper Harrold plays in most finished and artistic style, with brilliancy and very beautiful tone. He has no equal in temperament and expression." This is an unusual privi- --- organ Moore and assault of his com- the south end of the Highway brutal and cowardly that has taken number of years. No man; white or matter what the color, may be safe.

The Judge Had More Faith in His Defense Than He Had in Nine Officers-Vindicated. Dr. Edgar R. Beckley, one of the best known physicians in the city, who comes from one of the most distinguished families in Virginia and this city, was arrested Thursday evening, May 20, by two officers of the Eighth precinct and carried to the station house in a very humiliating attitude because he asked an officer what the remark was he directed to him, after having alleged that his lights were out on his automobile. Dr. Beckley was not arrested until after he had put his car up and went to the officer and asked him what the remark was he made at the time he alleged that his lights were out on his car. He was immediately placed under arrest and carried to the station, where he was compelled to put up $10 collateral for his appearance in the Police Court Friday morning, May 2L. Dr. Beckly insisted on a trial. The case was called and eight or nine officers testified that he was disorderly, etc. These officers were interrogated by Judge Hardison and made statements which were not satisfactory to the Keep Your Hair In Smooth and G How Hair Pe Large Size For Sale by Peoples Drug S and All Good Shelltex Shu Howard's Hair Pomade Shelltex Shur-on Spectacles IN COURT on the Judge's bench, in the place where the mind is called ifully, you need clear vision, ting.

MISS GREENE MAKES DEBUT. Handsome Gowns and Distinguished Guests—A Brilliant Allan. All Washington society was given a thrill when Mr. and Mrs. Fielder R. Green formally introduced their daughter, Fairfax Helen, to the elite circle of this city. Miss Greene made her debut in the dining room of Washington's exclusive hotel, the Whitelaw. The floral decorations were almost beyond description, especially the bower of lilies, roses, sweet peas, cherry blossoms and palms, beneath which the society bud stood with her receiving line, to say nothing of the arch of palms beyond which the orchestra sat. The dining room was a fairyland, for the decorations were exceptional. The aunt of the debutante, Miss Burnside, received the guests after they were announced at the door and presented each to Miss Greene's Mother, who stood at the head of the line. The guests were next introduced to the debutante, then passed on down the line. Standing off a distance was her father, ready with a cheerful welcome for young and old. After an hour and a half of receiving the affair was given over to dancing. Mrs. Greene's receiving line was indeed, an asset to the party. Every lady tried to out-do the other in making the occasion a success. Because of limited space, description of gowns will be confined to those in the receiving line. Mrs. Greene wore a very simple gown of black charmeuse with a draped Princess overdress. Attached to the shoulders was a long panel train ending in a point. The train was ornamented with a large jet tassel. All the draperies were faced with French red, and the trimnings were jet bands. Over the shoulder's was draped a tulle scarf of American Beauty red. Standing next was her daughter. The debutante's dress was made by her aunt and was the exact copy of Plissnet evening creation, called "Dawn." The youthful dress was an eighteenth century mode of citron yellow satin with blue velvet bindings on the scalloped bottom. Long streamers of velvet ribbon were confined to the bodice with old-fashioned rhinestone buckles and fell gracefully over a wide full overskirt of silver lace. A dahlia of orchid pink metal cloth trimmed the sides. The next in line was the debutante's cousin, Miss Garnette Smith. Her gown was dawn pink satin, trimmed with Persian hand-woven silver braid. This trimming was a present to the Smith family years ago from the Orient. The skirt draperies were confined by the same braid. A bodice of quaint design, fashioned of tulle, completed the model. Next to Miss Smith stood Miss Juanita Shaw. Simplicity marked the lines of her dainty white satin dress and hand-embroidered net draperies. Miss Marguerite Kennerly followed Miss Shaw. She wore an odd creation of pink chiffon cloth and metal lace. Miss Ruth Dickey was charming in a pink crepe de chine, with panels of baby blue tulle. The only ornament was a small chain of magnificent pearls. Miss Gertrude Sutton stood last in line. Her dress was nile green satin. The handkerchief-style bodice was confined to the shoulders with slings of emeralds. Looped from the waist line in the center of the back and passing beneath, the edge of the Turkish bottom dress was a panel of hand-painted pink ribbon. Miss Tatita Burnside wore a gown of orchid ping charmeuse, trimmed in black ostrich plumes, black tulle and silver lace. To sum up the rest of the gowns, it can only be said they were exquisite. The service was buffet, and only the daintiest refreshments were served. Mr. Charles Underdown was caterer, and the unique arrangement of the table is a thing that will keep a bright spot in one's memory for a long time. Special praise is due Mr. Underdown for his correctness of Week beginning Monday, May 31—Matinees Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday The Quality Amusement Company, E. C.

After the guests were served, the dancing began again and lasted until 12:30. The last dance was "Perfect Day." At the beginning of the waltz the receiving line formed again to say good-night to the guests. As the dance came to a close the scene was effective by the slow lowering of the lights. It was, indeed, the end of a perfect day. It was known among the members of society that Mr. and Mrs. Greene would introduce their daughter formally this year, but it was not expected until fall, just before the debutante was to leave for Boston, where she will spend four years specializing in music. The guests were: Mrs. Charlotte Burnside, grandmother of the debutante Mrs. Georgia Gordon, Mrs. Luther Wiseman, Mrs. Scott Jones, Mrs. Elizabeth Mason, Mrs. C. Webb, Dr. Clara Taliaferro, Rev. and Mrs. Gates, Mr. and Mrs. William J. Anson, Mrs. S. Carter Browne, Mr. and Mrs. Scott Mayo, Mrs. S.

Best of Photoplaya and the Only Theatre on Seventh Street Owned by a Race Man. --- I am glad to know that the theatrical profession has at last decided to unite. Some colored people are dissatisfied with present conditions who heretofore had no theatres to go to nor no movies but the Jim-crow houses; but now they want a white promoter, who has a chain of theatres for white people only, to build them an exclusive Jim-crow theatre in U street, and will appeal to the Jim-crow colored man and woman to support it. Now, this is the same promoter who will not allow colored people, no matter how respectable and well educated, to enter his chain of theaters. There are thousands of colored citizens in this city who are fully able and competent, if another theatre is needed, to erect one of their own, and this they propose to do. The Thomas brothers, the Murray brothers, S. H. Dudley and R. G. Byars, with Dr. Emmett Scott, have decided to erect a $200,000 theatre, where all classes, irrespective of color or nationality, may attend by paying the required entrance fee. These gentlemen have the ability, and no doubt the people will support them in this movement. It is not necessary for the Sage to advise the people what to do. I am confident that they will support their own enterprises in preference to the Jim-crow structure. If the colored managers of the present theatres have succeeded thus far, they are able to succeed with their new enterprise. The, Sage takes this opportunity to call the attention of the colored people to themselves and advise them to take a walk from K, on Seventh street, to Florida avenue, west to Fourteenth street, and south, down Fourteenth, to Rhode Island avenue, northwest, and look at themselves seated at hash tables and hash counters in preference to the sanitary ones managed by themselves. Let them ask themselves if they are sane or insane. Let them ask themselves if they are human idiots. Why do many of them prefer jim-crow bootshining parlors to those where they know there is no discrimination? I shall print a picture of a few of them shortly, including, the portraits of those who prefer this kind of service. There are over a hundred thousand colored citizens in this town who are fully able to do as they please in the commercial world. Speaking of enterprise, I shall always have the highest respect for John W. Lewis and his followers. Just see what he has done with his few followers. If he succeeds, in his present enterprise, he will organize the world and place his people upon such a strong commercial basis that they will surprise themselves. Lewis justly can be classed the leader of the commercial world among his people. My good friend John Gibson in Philadelphia, Pa., is another factor in the commercial world. As a theatrical manager his equal is hard to find. The people of Pennsylvania are behind him. He is doing what many of our great theatrical promoters should have been doing all along. We must get together and get together at once. You can not expect anything from the office gentleman or the society dude. He is intoxicated with frolic and night dances. He spends all he earns and borrows all he can get and promises to pay when he can spare it. The office and silk-hat gentlemen have failed in business. They will never amount to much until they put on overalls and army shoes. Their ambitions for social leadership must be eliminated, and they must go back to corn bread and cabbage. ROSCOE C. BRUCE. The Vacillating Artist—What He Said to the Senate Committee. Senator Harrison: "Who was on the Board when his daughter did not get that place?" Mr. Bruce: "The record will show." Senator Harrison: "Who was Dr. J. Milton Waldron? I notice he made a speech that day." Mr. Bruce: "Dr. Waldron is part preacher and part politician." Senator Harrison: "Is the greater part of him preacher or politician?" Mr. Bruce: "It would be difficult for me to say." Senator Harrison: "Is he the pastor of any church?" Mr. Bruce: "The Shiloh Baptist Church." Senator Harrison: "Pretty good church?" Mr. Bruce: "Yes, sir; I think so." Senator Harrison: "He is a reputable preacher, isn't he?" Mr. Bruce: "He is sometimes a Republican, sometimes a Democrat, according to the administration that is in." Senator Harrison: "He is quite a politician, then. Is that all you know about him—that sometimes he changes his politics?" Mr. Bruce: "I believe that in Jacksonville, Fla., he conducted against Mr. James Waldron Johnson, a national organizer for the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, a poet of marked gift, a very unusual man, who happened to be principal of the high school there, a violent propaganda very similar to what was conducted here. That was some years ago." Senator Harrison: "Was he as successful in his efforts to oust that fellow as he was in ousting Charlotte Hunter?" Mr. Bruce: "He did not oust either; but Miss Hunter did resign." Senator Harrison: "The other fellow is still in down there?" Mr. Bruce: "He remained in his position for some time, I think. Moreover, Mr. Waldron was president of the Washington branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Some question of accounting arose. The majority of the branch felt that a change in the presidency was necessary. I was one of the persons who took part." Senator Harrison: "You thought the change was necessary?" Mr. Bruce: "Yes, sir." Senator Harrison: "And the change was made?" Mr. Bruce: "I think it was two or three or four years ago. I am not sure, Senator. Mr. Archibald Grimke was selected to succeed Waldron. It was before the organization of the Parents' League." Senator Harrison: "What have been your relations with him since that incident?" Senator Harrison: "How many members are there in his church?" Mr. Bruce: "I really don't know." Senator Harrison: "You are not a member of that church?" Senator. Harrison: "Who is Dr. Lane?" Mr. Bruce: "I think the person to whom you refer is the father of a teacher at the normal school. She is Miss R. B. Lane. Mr. Bruce: "There was some question about his daughter. I don't remember the details. She was teaching at the Wormley School in the Tenth Division, and she was not placed in the normal school quite as expeditiously as her parents desired." Senator Harrison: "And out of that situation arose his grievance?" Mr. Bruce: "Yes." Senator Harrisons: "Was she finally placed?" Mr. Bruce: "Oh, yes; on her merit." Senator Harrison: "Was she placed before this meeting?" Mr. Bruce: "She is a skillful teacher." Senator Harrison: "Has that caused estrangement between you and Dr. Lane?" Mr. Bruce: "Well, you could hardly estrange what has never existed." Senator Harrison: "You were never particularly friendly with him?" Mr. Bruce: "I simply did not know him very well." Senator Harrison: "There was no reason, then, except that little incident, why he should want to do you any great harm?" Mr. Bruce: "Not so far as I know." Senator Harrison: "You think his motives were sincere?" Mr. Bruce: "I should not undertake to pronounce upon his motives." Senator Harrison: "Well, $e$ you would of the Parents' League's, wouldn't you?" Mr. Bruce: "Not unless I knew the facts." Senator Harrison: "Who is Rev. D. E. Wiseman?" Mr. Bruce: "Rev. Wiseman is a worthy man. He is president of a citizens' association, a Lutheran pastor, and I believe him to be an absolutely sincere man." Senator Harrison: "He was a member of this 'parents' League?" Mr. Bruce: "I don't know. If he was, it was under some misapprehension." Senator Harrison: "They have him here as vice-president. He is one of the chief möguls." Mr. Bruce: "I don't suppose he could quite control their action." Senator Harrison: "Who is Mr. Thomas A. Johnson?" Mr. Bruce: "Mr. Thomas A. Johnson—I presume he is familiarly known as Mr. Tom Johnson—has a relative who took an examination for teachership in music. She acquitted herself very creditably in the examination, but did not happen to be appointed because no music teacher was needed at that time. Whether that was operating on his mind, I don't know, but I know that circumstance." Senator Harrison: "She never did get a place?" Mr. Bruce: "She has not yet gotten a place. I don't believe her eligibility has yet expired." Senator Harrison: "He is named as second vice-president. What Mr. Bruce: "I don't know." Senator Harrison: "What does he do? What is his business?" Mr. Bruce: "I presume he is a printer. I really don't know. He may be one of the connections of the family of Murray." Senator Harrison: "You don't know, then?" Mr. Bruce: "No; I don't know." Senator Harrison: "Who is E. W. Turner?" Mr. Bruce: "I don't know." Senator Harrison: "They are named as fourth and fifth vice-presidents. Who is George Smith? Smith is the one who brought the charges against you, isn't he?" Mr. Bruce: "Smith is an employee at $900 per annum of the Treasury Department. He was appointed to the Treasury Department by my father." Senator Dillingham: "Mr. Bruce, there are two members of this committee who don't hear you—Senator Capper and myself." Mr. Bruce: "Smith is described in the open letter written by Mrs. J. R. Hallinan as 'a decrepit old man, dribbling obscenities.'" Senator Harrison: "Have you anything else to say about him?" Mr. Bruce: "A former member of the Board of Education." Senator Harrison: "What is his business? Mr. Bruce: "He is a lawyer." Senator Harrison: "A lawyer—a man of reputation and character? Stands well among the colored people?" Mr. Bruce: "Horner was a member of the Board of Education, and while there undertook to control the administration of the colored schools. He found that he could not do that. I think there is a memorandum on the subject that was submitted to the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by Hon. James A. Cobb." Senator Harrison: "James A. Cobb, Esq. He is your attorney?" Mr. Bruce: "Yes, sir; he has been more than once." Senator Harrison: "Who is Dr. Jarvis?" Mr. Bruce: "Jarvis used to be in the fish market at Center Market. He is now a fisher of men, being in the ministry. His son-in-law, A. R. Dyson, was a teacher of primary grade in the Phillips School and was dismissed upon my recommendation a number of years ago for inefficiency." Senator Harrison: "Was he inefficient?" Mr. Bruce: "There is no question about it." Senator Harrison: "The feeling between you and him since then has not been very cordial?" Mr. Bruce: "I have not had any particular feeling toward him." Senator Harrison: "None at all—just passed it up?" Mr. Bruce: "Yes, sir." Senator Harrison: "Well, I asked you about Mr. Lane. I believe, and you did not know much about him. Mrs. Tanner—she was president of this thing—the presiding officer?" Mr. Bruce: "I think she is the president of the league." Senator Harrison: "Well, how about Mrs. Tanner?" Mr. Bruce: "As I said in my statement, Mr. and Mrs. Tanner are strangers to Washington." Senator Harrison: "How long have they lived here?" Mr. Bruce: "A couple of years, I bglieve." Senator Harrison: "From when? They had been living here a couple of years at the time of this meeting?" Senator Harrison: "Do you know anything else against them except that they moved to Washington?" Mr. Bruce: "Mr. Bruce has a brother-in-law, a candidate for the position of assistant superintendent." Senator Harrison: "Who is he?" Mr. Bruce: "Prof. L. B. Moore." Senator Harrison: "Is he teaching in the schools here now?" Mr. Bruce: "No; he is not in the public schools." Senator Harrison: "He is trying to get your job. Is that your impression?" Mr. Bruce: "I understand so." Senator Harrison: "I understand you to say he wanted to be assistant superintendent of the colored schools. Has he made application for the place?" Mr. Bruce: "I have not seen the application. I have been told he is a candidate." Senator Harrison: "Have we discussed R. R. Horner?" Mr. Bruce: "Yes." Senator Harrison: "He was a member of the Board of Education and fell out with members on the question of appointments and promotions of teachers and janitors. I notice the speaker, the head of this meeting, said, 'Is Lawyer Wilson in the house?' and someone answered, Yes.' He said, 'I wish you would go downstairs and talk to them." Mr. Bruce: "I don't know. I think I saw him. I don't know anything about him." Sénator Harrison: "You don't know whether his reputation is good or not among the colored people here. You have not heard it discussed?" Mr. Bruce: "I don't know anything about him." Senator Harrison: "The speaker asked for Mr. Smith. What Smith was that?" Mr. Bruce: "I presume that was George Smith." Senator Harrison: "He said to them, 'I suppose you want to hear Mr. Smith, and if you will go downstairs, you will hear him.' Then he said, 'Is Mrs. Lloyd in the house?' Who is she? Was she one of the speakers?" Mr. Bruce: "I don't know." Senator Harrison: "He says: 'Please go downstairs, Mrs. Lloyd; you are one of the speakers.' Then he said: 'Is Judge Hewlett in the house?' Have we discussed Judge Hewlett?" Senator Harrison: "A man of reputation and character—stands well among the colored people?" Mr. Bruce: "Presumably." Senator Harrison: "Is he white or colored?" Mr. Bruce: "All of those people were colored: I might say that both Mr. Horner and Mr. Hewlett at different times during the lifetime of Booker. Washington sought my influence with Mr. Washington to secure political appointment. I was unable to gratify their wishes, although I tried to do so, and I suppose they have never forgiven me." WOMAN STIRS STORM Reminds of Teuton Barbarities as Actions of French Black Troops Are Excoriated. Berlin, May 20.—Stormy scenes in the meeting of the German assembly today arose over the discussion of the employment by the French of black troops in the occupied area. Adolf Koester, minister of foreign affairs, replying to an interpellation complaining of acts of savage brutality by these troops toward women and children, only a tithe of whose horrors were known, said that protests from the United States, Great Britain, Sweden and Norway had made as little impression on the French Government as the German protests, and Germany, intended to appeal to the League of Nations so that the moral pressure of the whole world could be brought to bear. Frau Zeitz, independent socialist, then caused an uproar by reminding the interpellators that they had said nothing about the acts of immoral brutality committed by German soldiers against women in Russia, Belgium and elsewhere. Indignant shouts of "Shame! Unheard-of baseness!" prevented the speaker from continuing. She waited, unperturbed, for the storm to pass, then resumed, only to meet with renewed interruptions. "This is only a racial fight against the blacks," declared Frau Zeitz, amid renewed shouts of "Leave the house!" She retorted: "It is the fault of all the capitalistic governments that the blacks have remained behind in civilization. The history of the German colonial police is one long story of German cruelty." After speeches by other members of the assembly, protesting against the utterances of Frau Zeitz, the storm subsided. Thursday, May 21, a number of friends went to Ash Grove to attend the funeral of Mrs. Lucy R. Turner. She was a member of Mt. Ararat Lodge, No. 11, G. U. O. of the S. and D. Liberty. Her funeral was preached by Rev. Downs, the pastor, assisted by Rev. J. I. Lovings and Rev.W. A. Jones, ex-pastors. Mrs. Efie Robinson, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Ruby Coleman, of New York, are the guests of their mother, Mrs. Ellen Carter. Miss Alice Dawson and Miss Rosa B.

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.

Howard University, one of the leading educational institutions for colored men and women in America, has taken a front place in the movement inaugurated by the savings division of the Treasury Department for the advancement of thrift, saving and safe investment. Officers, teachers and students of the university, as a result of a recent outline of the movement by William Mather Lewis, director of the savings division, have pledged their cooperation. This action was taken in the belief that it presents an opportunity for patriotic service in the present economic crisis for the benefit of the country at large and of every individual citizen. A headquarters office has been established at the university for the sale of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps, to instructors and pupils, in order that they may practice what they, as leaders of thought among their race, have determined to preach to their fellow citizens. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. The Vienna Baseball Team met with defeat here last Wednesday; May 18, at the hands of the Stag Club of this place. Mrs. Julia Craig has joined her husband and is now established in her new bungalow. *** As a sign of appreciation to Mr. Floyd Evans, who presented the public school with a beautiful flag, Flag Day was observed at the school Friday morning at 9:30 after hoisting the flag to its place. The program was as follows: Music, "Star Spangled Banner"; recitation, "Hats Off to the Flag," Bertha Lee; recitation, "The American Flag," Lucinda Thomas; music, "The Red, White and Blue"; "Salute to the Flag," the school. The exercises were held in the school yard. Never in the history of Falls Church have the citizens listened to such stirring remarks as those made by Mr. Neval H. Thomas, of Washington, last Sunday evening at the Galloway Methodist Church. The N. A. A. C. P. drive for membership is on, and Mr. Thomas spoke in its behalf. He gave his message in a masterful, eloquent way, and when through there was not one present who did not thoroughly understand the work and program of the organization. Not to join after hearing such forceful remarks would; indeed, be committing treason to our race and fellowmen. In the near future we hope to have Mr. Thomas again in our midst. As a compliment from the ladies, Mr. Thomas was presented with a large bouquet of flowers. A get-together meeting of the captains of the several teams of the membership drive of the N. A. A. C. P. was held at the Methodist Church last Tuesday night. The captains are now "on the march." Do not be a slacker, but "fall in line" and "keep step" with the great army of N. A. A. C. P. workers who are marching to freedom and justice. * * * Mrs. Bettie Brent held a successful social at her residence last Wednesday, night. Mrs. Mary Roy, of Washington, was the guest of her mother, Mrs. Eva Williams, several days last week. * * * The annual commencement exercises were short but enjoyable. Mrs. John Reid made the address. She spoke in part of the necessity of combining the church, home and school into one unit and of the good results which would follow. The financial report of the year was made, after which each child was presented with a certificate by Mr. Floyd Evans.

The party for the school children this year was held at the schoolhouse last Thursday. *** Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Smith, of Delaplane, Va., spent a part of their honeymoon last week at the home of their aunt, Mrs. Georgia Taylor. The plans for the Methodist Church rally were put into shape last Tuesday night, when the several captains met at the church for that purpose. *** Miss Delcie Chew is improving nicely at her residence. *** Keep in sight the double-header on the baseball schedule Monday, May 31. WILLBANKS; THE EVANGELIST Here are some excerpts from the great sermon of Evangelist Willbanks that was addressed to three thousand white citizens of Savannah, Ga., and which brought tears to their eyes and conversion to two hundred: A dying wife said to her husband, who was an infidel, who cursed her every time she went to church and sometimes tore her clothes off to prevent, her from going to church, and who would not allow their only little eight-year-old daughter ever to accompany her church. "It is sad for me to die and to leave my only child with a father who does not believe that there is a God, Heaven or hell. If you were a Christian, I would feel happy to leave her in your care, but I know you will treat her as you have treated me. Will you promise me as I am dying that you will not abuse this child and let her go to her mother church?" He cursed, and said, "No!" Then she asked him, "Will you meet me in Heaven?" And he said, "There is no such place!" The little girl said, "Mamma, I will meet you." She kissed her and said good-bye and passed away. One Sunday, a month after the death of her mother, she asked her father if she could go to Sunday School. He cursed her and said, "You can never go to church; you can stay here and go automobile riding, fishing and to ball games with me on Sunday, or else leave home and never cross the sill of my door again." She said good-bye and went out weeping down the road, and fell on her knees in the weeds, praying to God to take her, an outcast. This broke the father's heart, who, was watching her. He ran down the road, fell down by her and asked her to pray for him. He said, "I am a brute, a dog, a scoundrel to drive my sweet little motherless girl from home." She put her arms around his neck and asked God to save him, and he was converted and took her by the hands, kissed her and said, "Your moter's and your God has saved me, and we both will go to your mother's church, together and meet her in Heaven." MAJOR'S FIRST ACT. Major H. L. Gessford's first official act was to appoint R. W. Collier, an ex-service man and a sergeant, on the police force, and assigned him to the Ninth Precinct. Sergeant Collier is a fine looking officer, and will no doubt distinguish himself as a "cop" as he did as a soldier. The Bee congratulates Sergeant Collier and extends its thanks to Major Gessford, who is a man of his word. He wants everyone to do his duty.

The late Vernon Castle and his wife were the first to recognize the splendid music as played by colored artists. The late James Reese Europe was selected by them to tour the country with their company. So today both the old and the new worlds are contracting for colored musicians. Our own Will Cook is making a big hit with his syncopated orchestra in London. A big party of local musicians recently left Washington for London on a six months' contract. Ford Dabney is doing splendid work at Ziegfeld's Amsterdam Theatre, New York City. In Washington the Big Five—Elzie S. Hoffman, Henry Crowley, Lewis T. Thomas, Bill Beasley and T. Roy Williams—are playing for official Washington night after night throughout the year. The Amphion Glee Club scored quite a hit on their recent trip to Portsmouth, Va. Notwithstanding a rental of $300 per night and $100 for music, colored people of this city are giving more entertainments at the Coliseum than are the white race. Money cuts a small figure with ur folks when it comes to seeking pleasure. Among the colored composers who are making good may be listed Shelton Brooks, Wm. H. Tyers, Harry Burleigh, Turner Layton, Charles Johnson and others. The many friends of W. Calvin Chase, Jr., are pleased at his active interest manifested in the Greater Odd Fellows' Band of Washington, D. C. As associate conductor, he is filling the role admirably. This big band will accompany the local Odd Fellows to the B. M. C. to be held in New York City next September. Instrumental music played with a dash, vim, feeling, or the latter-day expression, "plenty of pep," is termed "jazz music." The New York Symphony Orchestra gave its first concert in Rome, Italy, last Sunday, the first of its kind ever presented by an American orchestra. Unfriendly elements in the audience hissed the players until John Powell's Negro rhapsody, with the composer at the piano, was played. This selection was received with great enthusiasm. R. B. Bürke, a clever Baltimore musician, is now located in Washington. He is playing under the banner of the Crescendo Club. Mr. Burke was with the A. E. F. in France. Mr. Sylvester B. Smith, an ex-student of Wilberforce, University, Ohio, is leader of a jazz band there. Miss Gertrude Wells and her orchestra are pleasing the public at every occasion. Her many friends wish her more success and hope that she will remain with them. The many friends of the musicians who went to London to play, with Mr. Carroll Boyd as leader, are waiting to hear from them. Mr. Jos. H. Douglass, who was once head of the violin department at Howard, has been chosen director of the New Jersey Musical Society. His many friends, wish him much success. Mr. Clarence Cameron White, who now lives in Massachusetts, is giving to the people the appreciation of music. He is having great success with his recitals. It is hoped that some usual recitals will soon be given here in place the clubs do in other places. of so much jazz. Let the musical clubs give to the people here what GARNETT CENTRE A Lively Time—President Freeman Re-elected—Dr. Green Defeated. Garnett-Phelps Community Centre held its annual election of officers; electing the following: Daniel Freeman, president; Mrs. R. E. Lawson, vice-president; Mr. L. E. Smith, recording secretary; Mrs. A. Howe, treasurer; Mrs. Julia M. Layton, community secretary; Elder Osborn, chaplain; Mr. U. S. M. Maxwell, delegate to General Council. This was a lively meeting. Dr. Green was defeated for secretary by Mrs. Julia M. Layton. A protest has been filed because it is alleged that Dr. Green was not given fair play. ANACOSTIA NEWS.

She had practically no opposition, as Miss M. E. Hite did not authorize any one of her many friends to present her name as a candidate. Mrs. Stewart, the winner, is well known throughout the village. The Bee predicts a successful administration for her. Miss Emma V. Smith, the retiring secretary, served the centre admirably since its organization. A popular employee of the Washington Railway and Electric Company stationed in Anacostia is Mr. James Ingram. He is one of the few colored men working in the plow pit changing the plows to the overhead system and vice versa, a dangerous occupation.
