The Washington Bee THE COLORED VOTER HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON APPOINTED BY WILL H. HAYES TO DIRECT COLORED VOTERS VOL. XLI: NO. 7 THE HENRY LINCOLN JOHN APPOINTED BY WI TO DIRECT COL A POLITICAL BLUNDER. Chairman Will H. Hays Digs Another Pit for the Colored Voters. The Appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., to Consolidate the Colored Voters the Greatest Political Blunder That Could Have Been Made. Chicago. Ill., July 15.—The Colored Associated Press of Chicago. Ill., announces the appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, to head a committee to consolidate the colored Republican voters for the Republican party. It will be remembered that Lincoln Johnson was formerly recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia and was removed from that office by President Wilson. It was not on account of his color or politics that his resignation was asked for by the President. No greater blunder could have been made by Chairman Will H. Hays, of the National Republican Committee. It will be remembered that it was the attitude of Henry Lincoln. Johnson that caused the colored vote to be lukewarm in 1916 at the time he was made a member of the jim-crow committee in New York. The State of Georgia doesn't elect a Republican chinney sweep, and the appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson over such political factors as Ralph W. Tyler, of Ohio; Charles W. Anderson, Ralph Langston, Fred R. Moore and others, of New York City; Warner McQuinn and Fitzgerald, of Maryland; Nutter, of West Virginia; Nutter, Lightfoot and others, of New Jersey, and the political factors in States where the colored vote counts, is an insult to the colored American voters. Chairman Will H. Hays will be convinced that the colored voters in the States in which the colored vote is a factor will resent this appointment. Editor of The Bee: I read in your issue of the 10th the letter of James A. Cobb relating to his vote as a delegate to the recent Republican convention at Chicago. In view of the "lily-white" methods by which Cobb himself was sent to that convention, I refuse to accept any statement that he or any other person who was a party to the Ebbitt House gathering may make concerning his vote at the convention, unless such statement is corroborated by at least two reputable persons who had no part in nor were in sympathy with the Ebbitt House infamy. There is no single fact or circumstance in Cobb's history or antecedents which would warrant one in crediting him with independent or disinterested judgment in any matter. He is notoriously opposed to all popular aspirations, whether of his own or other people. As a general proposition, it is a matter of no particular consequence as to what his attitude was toward the Georgia contests. To have voted for Link Johnson's delegation will not earn him a place in Agraham's bosom, and to have voted for the opposing delegation will not consign him to the fixed state of Dives. Daniel Martin. July 12. 1920. BENEFICIAL ASSOCIATION OF THE PARENT-TEACHERS HOLDS FINAL MEETING The beneficial branch of the Original Parent-Teachers' Association, known as the Original Parent-Teachers' Community Beneficial Association, held its closing meeting of the season at Dunbar Civic Centre on Thursday last at 8 o'clock. Much business was transacted. Permanent officers were elected, resulting in the choice of the following persons: President, Angie Dean; first vicepresident, Kate Johnson; second vicepresident, Emma Madden; recording secretary, Theresa Dixon; assistant recording secretary, Beatrice Wood; corresponding secretary, Gladys Jones; treasurer, Emma Tolson; chairman of sick committee, Eliza Dean. Names of chairmen of other committees will be announced later. The report of the constitution committee was received and adopted: The constitution was read by Gladys Jones, one of the efficient secretaries of the association. Miss Jones is also the association's reported and will be ably assisted by Beatrice Wood. The association voted to incorporate immediately after the committee shall have been appointed by the chair. Rev. J. Butler was elected chaplain. IN THE POLITICAL WORLD. Senator Harding is being given pledges of support of the Negro Republicans throughout the country, so reads a despatch. Robert S. Abbott, of the Chicago Defender, has written to Senator Harding that his nomination is entirely satisfactory to the large Negro population in Illinois. Of course, it is hoped the colonel knows whereof he speaks. John W. Thompson, who has the distinction of representing the largest body of organized colored voters, chairman of the executive committee of the New York State Republican Council of Negro voters' organization, has the following to say: "This organization, representing more than 300,000 Negro men and women voters, begs to extend, to you their most sincere congratulations." Even the Baptists of Kansas City strongly avow their intention to "support Senator Harding to a man." All this the Hon. Mr. Harding gets without asking. What will the Negro get? And thereby hangs a tale. Another Big Musical Comedy Next Week at the Howard Theatre, With the Lafayette Players and Wonderful Singing Chorus. That a great deal of fun with corresponding laughter may be obtained by the complication of three young men each having blonde hair, moustaches and Van Dyke beards of the same shade, with features that are alike, who wear clothes of the same cut and pattern, and each being mistaken for the other, is abundantly illustrated in the musical comedy "Three Twins." The piece is in two acts, with the first act showing the hotel and beach of a summer watering resort, and the second act placed in a sanitarium. In these surroundings many delightful musical numbers and several dancing features will be rendered by the company, with the usual musical ensembles, in which both principals and chorus join. The musical selections that will be heard are the following: "At the Seashore," "The Fifth Avenue Parade," "Good-Bye, Sweetheart, Good-Bye," "Cuddle Up a Little Closer," "A Specialist," "Little Miss Up-to-Date," "The Yama-Yama Man" and many others. Complications of surprise and mistaken identity begin when Tom Stanhope assumes the disguise of a blonde young man, for the purpose of obtaining the consent of his father, the general, to his paying attention to Kate Armitage, the companion of his ward, Isabel Howard. Tom Loves the girl, but the general has frowned WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1920 upon the attachment. Tom has picked up on the beach the photograph of a man who is both young and a blonde, and he has used the photograph as a guide for his disguise. Tom has so altered his appearance that his father does not recognize him, and when he introduces himself to the general as "Jack Darling," the son of an old friend, he receives his father's permission to court Kate. Tom does not know that the change effected by him in his appearance corresponds exactly with the identity of Dick Winters, an inmate of the sanitarium, who is about to be released, and that Dick's wife is stopping at the hotel; neither is he aware that he is the living image of Harry Winters, Dick's twin brother, who is engaged to Molly Sommers, and that she is also a guest at the hotel; nor that Dick and Harry are expected to arrive soon. In the disguise as "Jack Darling," Tom is mistaken in turn by Mrs. Winters for Dick, her husband; and by Miss Sommers for Harry, her fiance, whom she has not seen in two months. In fact, Tom is almost always one or the other in the eyes of everybody. It would require columns of space to tell how the author unravels the skein of snarled threads in this plot of extraordinary complications and misleading identities; with screams of laughter following the three men who all look alike, in and out of their many predicaments. "Three Twins" is one of the meriest and laughable of musical comedies. It does not depend on the embellishment of music for its success; rather the musical numbers assist in making a more entertaining performance of an unusually clever farce, and it is going to be one of the greatest successes in which the Lafayette Players have appeared. The new boat, Rosedale, that has been secured by Mr. Edward S. Whiting, went down to River View June 24 and July 5, and continues to give regular excursions to this popular resort. Mr. Whiting has spent many thousands of dollars for the benefit of the colored citizens, and The Bee hopes that they will be patriotic and liberal enough to appreciate the efforts of the company by cooperating with it. The best of order is, preserved and every protection is given the people and their children. From the first day the boat started the crowd was orderly, with but one exception, and the management has adopted rules and regulations to prohibit any objectionable characters from coming on the boat Mr. Quivers, of the Waiters' Association, and other well-known citizens, are interested in this boat Make a date for an excursion to River View at once. GRAND MASTER MORRIS WINS Henry Lincoln Johnson and Crowd Knocked Out—Appellate Court of Pennsylvania Decides in Favor of the Regular Body—Verdict of the Jury Set Aside. (Special to The Bee.) Philadelphia, Pa., July 14.—The three judges of Common Pleas Court No. 3, Philadelphia (Mr. Justice McMichael, Mr. Justice Ferguson and Mr. Justice Davis), sitting as a court en banc, reached a decision last Saturday, July 10, 1920, in the case of Noel and others against Grand Master Edward H. Morris and his colleagues, on the Subcommittee of Management, in which judgment was rendered in favor of Grand Master Morris, and colleagues, notwithstanding the verdict rendered by a jury on April 23 last adverse to them. It will be remembered that Grand Master Morris and the other mem- bers of the Subcommittee of Management took an appeal from this unfavorable and unwarranted verdict of a jury, whose members were permitted all freedom of intercourse and movement outside of the jury box and court chamber throughout the nine days of the trial last April. This appeal came on for a hearing before the three judges on May 25 and was argued by former Judge A. M. Beitler, on behalf of the Subcommittee of Management, and by Attorney, G. Wharton Pepper, on behalf of those contending against the Subcommittee of Management. In the 82-page printed brief of the Subcommittee of Management the case was fully set forth, reasons given why either a new trial should be granted or why the verdict of the jury should not be absolutely set aside and judgment awarded in favor of Grand Master Morris, and colleagues. The following reasons were set forth in support of the contention: 1. The verdict was against the evidence. 3. The verdict was against the law. 4. The verdict was against the charge of the court. Divers exceptions were also taken to rulings of the court during the trial. The final prayer of the Subcommittee of Management to the court was for judgment non abstante veredicto upon the whole record in the case. Although the judges reached their decision late last Saturday, July 10, it was not made public until Monday, July 12, about noon, when Grand Master Morris had the extreme pleasure of reading it to the members of the Subcommittee of Management; all of whom were in the Subcommittee of Management chambers in attendance upon the semi-annual meeting of that body. The findings of the judges covered thirteen typewritten pages. The caption or style of the case is: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ex rel. (that is, out of relation) John S. Noel (and others named with him), the relators, against Edward H. Morris, grand master; I. L. Roberts, deputy grand master; James F. Needham, grand secretary; W. David Brown, grand treasurer, and B. V. Baranco, J. H. Johnson, George W. Mays, Jesse Nicholas and A. T. Shirley, grand directors, the respondents. Common Pleas No. 3, December term, 1918, No. 3011; The opinion of the court was written by Judge Ferguson. "THE NEW INDEPENDENCE." A. Philip Randolph, of New York City, Delivers the Independence Day Address at Buena Vista, Md. The citizens of Buena Vista and Lincoln, Md., patriotically celebrated Independence Day, Monday, July 5, at Buena Vista Park. The speaker of the day was Mr. A. Philip Randolph, editor of the Messenger Magazine, published in New York City. Editor Randolph went deeply into the policies of each political party, emphasizing clearly the fact that the Negro has standing only with of these parties—the Socialist party, the party of labor. Mr. Arthur W. Mitchell presided at the meeting and in an earnest and eloquent appeal made such a strong plea to the audience in behalf of the unequaled and unparalleled services which Editor Randolph is rendering his people in particular and humanity in general, through the agency of his magazine, The Messenger, that the dollar bills began immediately, to come from the people as a donation to the Messenger Magazine, and also for subscription to the magazine. Many copies of The Messenger were sold at the meeting. Buena Vista Park was patriotically decorated with flags, pennants and lanterns.

CAMPBELL. Rev. J. D. Campbell, of Lynchburg, Va., is visiting his daughters, Mrs. Nannie Lewis, 2117 Ward place northwest; Mrs. C. A. Edwards, 2521 P street northwest; Mrs. L. M. Taliaferro and Mrs. M. J. Pannell, of Brentwood, Md. Rev. Campbell rendered a grand sermon at Alexander Memorial Baptist Church, N street between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth streets northwest. He explained to the people that God has given them a precious gift—a pot of gold—and urged them to keep it shining. They were enthused, and many of them were heard to say: "Surely, God has sent them the man." A collection was taken for him, and he turned it over to the church, explaining that he came not to take away but to add unto them.

It is a clean musical comedy. Will Cook and Charles Olden are at their best. DR. MEEKER RESIGNS. The Department of Labor has officially announced that Dr. Royal Meeker, U. S. Commissioner of Labor Statistics, has resigned and will leave for Geneva, Switzerland, July 31, to take up the duties of editor-in-chief of the Monthly Bulletin of the International Labor Office of the League of Nations. Commenting on Dr. Meeker's resignation, Secretary Wilson said: "Dr. Meeker has been an exceptionally efficient administrator of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition to the ordinary fact-gathering duties of the bureau, which he has handled with a sound judgment and a quiet determination to follow the facts, wherever they led, he has done a splendid work in inaugurating and carrying to partial completion a movement for the coordination of the work of the statistical bureau of the respective States with that of the Federal Government, and a standardization of industrial terminology and statistical methods that would make the facts gathered by the States and the different countries of the world comparable with the facts gathered by the Federal Government. SAME OLD STORY. Quite a number of our girls were recently certified by the U. S. Civil Service Commission for positions at the Census Office and Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Upon reaching these departments and presenting their certificates to the appointment clerks, the same old excuse that was worked on many of our girls and boys prior to the World War, viz, the chief clerk taking their certification papers and telling them that there are no vacancies at the present time, was presented. On the heels of these brown faces there came into the office some of our very fair girls, who were O. K'd for appointment. They later were sent home, after filling the necessary descriptive form. The fact that they wrote part of their past occupations as being teachers in the colored schools canceled their appointments. Now, isn't this tough—losing your brothers on the battle fields, buying Liberty Bonds, passing creditable civil service examinations, being certified for appointments, and then being turned down by these chief clerks or appointment clerks? The Bee gives this advice to all who hereafter are certified for appointment to the various departments and are turned down: Listen closely to the remarks made by these appointment clerks, answer all of their fake excuses for not giving you work. Demand the return of the certification papers and bring them to the editor of The Bee, who will bring the matter directly before the Secretaries for action. GEORGETOWN CENTER MEETS The Community Centre of Georgetown held its regular meeting at the Phillips School Tuesday, July 13. President Geo. L.

The Senate investigating committee showed that $5,000 was given to elect the two delegates from the District of Columbia, notwithstanding the fact that the successful delegates had the machine, and still there was but a short election. I was informed that the two delegates, white, on the other two tickets agreed among themselves to advocate their own admission as delegates and ignore Scott and Murray. Well, a similar scheme was inaugurated in 1916, but it didn't work. Our W. Calvin was on the job at that time. Well, everything was done to persuade W. Calvin to retire, but the old politician could see through the glasses that were given him at that time. Armond is as angry as a setting hen just now at the Miller and Bradshaw faction. Just why these two white delegates should claim that they represent the Republican party in this city is strange to me. Well, I suppose the kickers are satisfied. Nothing was done by either party to restore suffrage to the people in the District of Columbia. You are aware that the cry was, "We want a representative delegation!" Did they get one? The two delegates relinquished their rights and surrendered them to the bankers and exCommissioner, who don't represent the Republican party in this city. There is a glorious time in Ohio among the colored politicians. My good friend R. W. Taylor continues on top. Notwithstanding the attack that the editor of the Gazette made on my good friend Tyler, he is supporting him against political treachery. Attorney Cornelius J. Jones, the bachelor attorney from Oklahoma, has purchased two houses opposite Howard Theatre. It was rumored some time ago that Attorney Jones had matrimony in view. Well, I don't believe it. He has too much to do to be buckled down with a wife. He wants to be free and easy, don't you forget it. There are quite a number of bachelors in town now. Many of them continue to nibble until the hook catches them. When Prescriptions Filled Promptly. All the Leading Physicians patrons this store. Agents for Madam Walker's Goods.

Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else.

Incorporated five years ago with a capitalization of $5,000,000, with stock sold at $10.00 per share, is now a corporation capitalized at $100,000.00 with NO SHARES FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE, yet it is understood that a small number of shares have been donated by some of the larger stockholders for certain Dentists and Druggists whose names have already been listed, and will be called on personally in the near future by the President of the Company. The Dentists and Druggists who will be solicited were selected by the Directors of the Company because of their progressiveness and the great advertising value that their connection will mean in the distribution of this exceptional dentifrice to the race throughout the United States. The demand for the Welters' Tooth Powder has grown so tremendously during the past six months, since advertising in the Chicago Defender, that their manufacturing facilities are entirely too limited, and has forced the management to make immediate arrangements for their larger plant, to be erected in Baltimore, to properly care for the increased business. Not only in the United States has the demand greatly increased, but in England, France, Cuba, British Indies, and other foreign points.

Americans will be largely represented on the program at the World's Sunday School Convention to be held in Tokyo, Japan, which opens October 5. Among these will be a representative from the National Baptist Convention in the person of Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., who will represent about two million three hundred thousand of his denomination in this world conclave; as it has been learned from Mr. Frank L. Brown, the joint general secretary, of this city, that Rev. Mr. Boyd has been placed on the program at one of the devotional periods. He will serve with a Japanese minister. Rev. Mr. Boyd will deliver a sermon in English from a passage of Scripture which will be read in Japanese, and a Japanese minister will offer prayer in his own language. It is stated further that all arrangements thus for for the one thousand delegates from America have been made, and that they will begin sailing in August, leaving from the ports of Tacoma, San Francisco and Seattle at intervals. Word comes from Nashville to the effect that Rev. Mr. Boyd has already accepted the place on the program and that he will leave the States prepared to serve.

COLORED SCOUTS TO HAVE SUMMER CAMP. The Colored Scouts of the District will have a summer camp at Glenarden, Md., 3 miles north of the District line. The camp can be reached by way of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Line, at a cost of 25 cents a round trip. Each of the boys will pay $4 a week for running expenses, the Scouts themselves to do all the work at the camp, with the exception of preparing regular meals, for which an experienced chef and assistants are fully prepared. Instruction in camp includes camp craft, woodcraft, nature study, first aid to the injured, tracking and signaling. The camp will run for two weeks only, July 31 to August 14, and all colored Scouts wishing to go should call at the Colored Boy Scout Headquarters, 1816 Twelfth street northwest, between the hours of 6 and 9 p. m., to register.

M. Miller, Prop. Under a Republican administration we had two Republican District Commissioners, who failed to appoint one colored man on the police force. No amount of influence could persuade these two Republican Commissioners to nannie a colored policeman. Mr. Harry L. West was a Democrat, and he made more appointments of colored men than the Republican Commissioner, Mr. MacFarland, at that time. The successors of these two Commissioners were Republicans, Messrs. Brownlow and Colonel Oliver Newman—both Democrats. Mr. Newman was succeeded by a misfit, which left Colonel Louis Brownlow in charge. Under Colonel Brownlow more colored men have been appointed on the police force than under the two administrations of the Republican Commissioners. In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing the colored help has been protected and promoted, and many have been appointed and given good places by Director Willmath and his able assistant, Colonel Fisher. All that the colored people ask is the elimination of the jim-crow car laws in the South and in some of the departments of the Government. The colored voter will keep his eyes open from now on. Information reaches The Bee that Chairman Will H. Hays has named Henry Lincoln Johnson, of voteless Atlanta, Ga., head of a committee to consolidate the colored Republican vote. If Chairman Will H. Hays doesn't know, The Bee takes this opportunity to inform him that the appointment of this Georgia politician is a reflection on the colored representative Republican voters in the North, East and West, and the sooner the National Chairman re- The Washington Bee Address All Letters and Other Matter to THE BEE NEWSPAPER COMPANY, LOCK BOX 1826 1109 Eye Street Northwest, Washington, D.

The press generally contains news items to the effect that Prof. Carter G. Woodson has resigned the deanship of the Senior College of Howard University. Prof. Woodson has been at Howard University one school year. He was taken into the teaching body at Howard in connection with President Durkee's reorganization plan. It was predicted by those familiar with Prof. Woodson's temperament that he would not remain long at the university. He seems to be adapted to work which does not require him to submit to the control and direction of a superior. He is of a disposition which does not harmonize or cooperate with plans, the success of which is dependent upon a number of persons acting in obedience to a single directing force. His case is by no means exceptional among educated colored men. Most colored men of the educated class are dominated by the narrow, individualistic conception of things, and consequently fail when called upon to act collectively. As an illustration of this tendency, there is an article July Crisis, under the name of G. David Houston, which in the title professes to deal with Negro colleges in general, but which, in fact, is nothing but an attack on the present administration of Howard University. There is positively nothing in Houston's production but the plaint of the place hunter. His intellectual vision, as disclosed by the Crisis article, reaches no farther than the bundle of fodder which Aesop tells us was the exciting cause of the donkey's forward movement. G. David. Houston (the "G" meaning in this article judging from the flatulent character of the Crisis article) is a "moving" educator. He has been at Tuskegee Institute, in the public school system of Baltimore, in the public school system of Washington, at Howard University, and now again in the public schools of Washington. For restlessness and instability Carter Woodson and David Houston are two peas in a pod, and are standing examples of the unsteadiness of many Negroes who follow the work of education as an economic necessity. It is rumored that the resignation of Woodson and the fulmination of Houston in the July Crisis are the opening guns of a fight against the administration of Dr. Durkee at Howard. It is also said that Prof. Kelly Miller's lecturing tour this summer is a part of the plan of campaign against Dr. Durkee. PLEDGING THE NEGRO VOTE. The despatches from Marion, Ohio, contain the names of Negro preachers and other presuntuous Negroes with itching palms who are pledging the support of all the Negroes for the Republican nominee. There is something unspeakably disgusting about these pledgers who appear every four years to offer the entire Negro vote to presidential candidates. There is no other race in the United States that does this sort of thing. There was a time when the early leaders, like Douglass, Langston, Bruce, Lynch and Pinchback, could say that all the Negroes would vote the Republican ticket, and prove it; but that time has passed. It has passed because the Republican party has passed from the position on human rights which made it a matter of self-respect for Negroes to vote that ticket. The Republican party of today does not seem to be inclined to take any position on the Negro question which the Democrats are not equally willing to take. When Lincoln Johnson was testifying before the Senate committee the other day in Chicago as to the funds which he received, and a part of which he spent, he referred to lynching in the South, and Senator Reed Smoot, Democrat, said that the National Government will have to assume jurisdiction of the offense of lynching. matches from Marion, Ohio, contain the officers and other presetuntuous Negroes with it, giving the support of all the Negroes for the there is something unspeakably disgusting to appear, every four years to offer the entire candidates. There is no other race in does this sort of thing. There was a time like Douglass, Langston, Bruce, Lynch and all the Negroes would vote the Republican that time has passed. It has passed because has passed from the position on human matter, of self-respect for Negroes to vote, can party of today does not seem to be in on the Negro question, which the Democrat to take. When Lincoln Johnson was a committee the other day in Chicago as received, and a part of which he spent, he referred South, and Senator Reed Smoot, Democrat Government will have to assume jurisprudence.

No amount of influence could persuade Commissioners to nannie a colored poor West was a Democrat, and he made more men than the Republican Commissioner, at time. The successors of these two Commissars, Messrs. Brownlow and Coloniel Oliver and Mr. Newman was succeeded by a minor Louis Brownlow in charge. Under Coloniel men have been appointed on the police, two administrations of the Republican Committee of Engraving and Printing the colored had promoted, and many have been appointed by Director Willmath and his able as All that the colored people ask is the eliciting car laws in the South and in some of the government.

Hays doesn't know, The Bee takes in him that the appointment of this George on the colored representative Republica calls this appointment the better it will be for the president. Governor Cox, of Ohio, is strong with the colored vote in Ohio. He has made many colored appointments, and it will be easier for the Democrats in Ohio to increase the colored vote for Governor Cox now than it would have been. ANACOSTIA NEWS. Dr. William E.

The morning services were well conducted. The speaker of the day was so well introduced that the members and visiting friends felt satisfied that they would hear something pleasing. Rev. Mary E. Taylor, of New York, broke the Bread of Life. Her subject was "Prayer." The church was well filled. The Christian Endeavor was reorganized for the purpose of getting new members, and if the plans are carried out the following week, Lomax will have to enlarge her building. The revival started Sunday night at 8 o'clock. Rev. Killingsworth is doing fine work in his church, and the members are cooperating very nicely.

The On the first Sunday in June, when Bishop Claire preached at the morning services, Mrs. Dixon played for the first time for the splendid Asbury choir. She completely captivated the vast audience which filled the main auditorium to its utmost capacity. Two very heavy anthems were rendered by the choir: "Great and Marvelous" and the "Hallelujah Chorus" from "The Messiah." These two choruses were true tests of Mrs. Dixon's ability as an organist and the high classical standard of music which the leader, Mr. W. Johnson, holds up, to the choir. Mrs. Dixon is the sister of Prof. Braxton, organist of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and Mrs. Angela Bishop. As an evidence of appreciation, the church presented Mrs. Jarvis, the retiring organist, with a well-filled purse. The Macedonia Baptist Church had a special sermon preached Sunday to its members and friends by Rev. Green, of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Arlington. He was accompanied by members and chorus.

Lewis, of Howard road, has issued a call for a meeting of local Republicans to be held in Douglass Hall Tuesday, July 20, for the purpose of forming a Harding and Coolidge Republican Club. Judge Lewis is a dyed-in-the-wool Republicah and may be counted upon to form a strong organization. The new zoning law, which goes into effect September 1 next, is expected to be of much benefit to preserve the beauty of this suburb. All big projects seem to be coming Anacostia way. The Army Engineers in their report given out last week make the assertion that Anacostia Park now being reclaimed on the Anacostia River will be the most beautiful in Washington and that the same will be completed within five years. The Fine Arts Commission has recommended that the Botanical Garden be moved to Anacostia Flats and that 1,500 acres be set aside for that purpose. that purpose Mr. and Mrs. William Jones, who purchased the Van Buren property on Stanton road, are delighted with their first gardening experiment. Under the auspices of the Ushers' Club, Mr. Basil Bush, president, and Vernie Bumbry, secretary, the Sunday School children of the Stanton Avenue C. M. E. Church, Rev J. E. Scott, pastor, visited Laurel, Md., on a picnic Wednesday. Both young and old spent an enjoyable outing. A special electric car carried the entire party back and forth from Anaestia. Dr. Shipley, proprietor of the Douglass Hall Pharmacy, is the official agent for The Bee in Angostia. Patrons may secure copies of The Bee every Saturday morning and thereafter. Several youngsters will sell The Bee on the streets. Property holders on Howard road during the past week received from the Collector of Taxes a bill of charges for the concrete roadway laid on that thoroughfare two years ago. The colored people from different sections of the District and nearby villages have formed a very pretty little village called Fair View. There are ten houses, all occupied, with spacious grounds dotted with choice fruit trees and plenty of hardy garden. One Baptist Church has been organized and plans for a school house and a grocery store are being contemplated. Although Fair View is not yet four years old, everyone has done his part, and in appearance it gives the impression of being twice its age. The addition of the church, school and a physician will make it a model village for colored people. Fair View is located between Fort Berry and Nauck Station, on the car line leaving Rosslyn Mr. and Mrs. Forrest B. Carroll, of Washington, D.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR. When Mrs. E. V. Jarvis, the former faithful and efficient organist of Asbury M. E. Church; resigned her position, owing to impaired health from long service, several applications were filed by local musicians to succeed her. After a thorough examination of these applicants before the choir committee, Mrs. Theresa Dixon led the contestants, which resulted in her appointment to succeed Mrs. Jarvis. IN AND OUT OF TOWN NEWS.

Given a Reception and Testimonial. A reception and testimonial was given Dr. Lucy E. Moten, retiring principal of the Miner Normal School, on Thursday, July 1, 1920, at the school, under the auspices of the Miner Normal Community Center. Citizens and teachers—the public—previously had been invited through the daily papers and by members of the committee to make the occasion worthy-of the one in whose honor, it was given. The response to this invitation was a generous one; and it was possible to present Dr. Moten with a handsome solitaire platinum ring. A basket of La France roses was presented Dr. Moten by two little girls on behalf of the children of the public schools. With the presentation of the ring a scroll bearing the names of all those who had made the occasion possible was handed Dr Moten by her lifelong friend, Mrs Daniel Murray. Dispatches of July 6, Paris, Tex., state that Irving and Herman Arthur, Negroes, aged 19 and 28, charged with having shot and killed their landlord, U. S. Hodges, and his son, were taken from jail by mob and burned at stake. This furnishes another instance of the most barbarous form of lynching where mere murder is the alleged crime. The barbarity is magnified by dispatches from Idabel, Okla., in which Sheriff U. W. Dewitt, of McCurtain County, Oklahoma, quotes Sheriff C. D. Clarkson, of Paris, as declaring that one of the Negroes burned at Paris was not the right one and that he doubted whether the other was the right party. Sheriff Clarkson is reported to have gone into Arkansas on trail of mer believed to have killed Texas farmer and son.

Calls on Postmaster General to Investigate Lynching of Negro Postal Clerk—Association Also Asks Governor of Texas to Punish Mob Which Burned Two Negroes at the Stake. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored people today wired Postmaster General A. S. Burleson requesting that he order an investigation into the facts of the lynching of James Spencer, a Negro postal clerk, at Enterprise, Miss., on July 5, reminding him of that fact that the Federal government has the power of police protection over those in its service. At the same time the association wired Gov. W. P. Hobby of Texas, asking that he bring to justice the members of the mob which July 6 at Paris, Tex., took from the county jail Irving and Herman Arther, who were being held on a charge of having killed their landlord and his son, and burned them at the stake. The barbarity of this latter lynching is magnified by dispatches in which the sheriff at Paris is quoted as declaring that one of the two Negroes burned was not the right one and that he doubted whether the other was the right party, and in which he is reported to have gone into Arkansas on the trail of the men believed to have killed the farmer and his son. Washington, D. C. Dispatches July 5 from Enterprise, Miss., report James Spencer, Negro postal clerk, taken from officers of the law and lynched, alleged offense being the stabbing of Otho Parker, white postal clerk, on New Orleans & Northwestern mail car last Friday. Federal government has power of police protection over those in its service. It is therefore duty of government to inquire into death of Spencer and take steps to secure punishment of those guilty of his murder. National Association for Advancement of Colored People calls upon you as head of Post Office Department to bring this matter to attention of the proper authorities. Daniel Murray Miss Mary, L. Europe, Miss Virginia Williams and Mrs. Lillian Tibbs contributed musical numbers to the program. to the program. At the conclusion of the program Dr. Moten, blushing and smiling like a sweet girl graduate, received the hearty bon mots of those who had filled the auditorium in her honor. A WORD ON LYNCHING. The ink has not dried on the statement from Tuskegee that the number of lynchings throughout the country for the first months of the calendar year has materially decreased before we read of at least three demonstrations of American viciousness that have started the second half of the year. And the terrible truth of the matter is that in one case at least one man has been lynched when it has been proven beyond all doubt that he was entirely innocent, being at work at the time of the alleged crime. To this statement of fact the dead man's employer has testified. This gives us serious food for thought. These are strenuous times. We are now entering the greatest crisis of our nation's life. Out of the awful pagrom left in the wake of the lynching evil, new issues confront us that are of moment to every citizen. For I am not safe so long as they lynch one Negro or burn another at a stake. We feel it in Washington, whether the terrible orgy occurs in Georgia, in Mississippi, in Alabama, where they shoot you in the back for stepping on another's foot, and as long as one Negro is denied his rights, as long as one Negro is scourged, ten millions or more groan. It has been an unhappy moment for this republic that it has ever countenanced lynching. Truly, something must be done to put a stop to this. How shall we fight it? The hearts of men and women all over the world must be touched as never before. Stress must be laid now on heart culture for the white race, the same stress that has been laid on mental culture, for if you educate the head and not the heart, you have but distorted one's vision. Will the white press speak out for lynching? In some instances, yes. But in most instances the white press remains silent. Can we get the white pulpit to denounce it in strongest terms? Why cannot we have four-minute speakers make a tour of all sections of the country and create sentiment against it? We can do one thing—we can demand of the men whom we shall elect to office that they use their good influences to oppose mob violence in any form. The time for systematic, organized action has arrived. We cannot feel hopeful so long as one is maltreated. Again I stop and reflect: Is this the right cous cause for which we fought. And in anguish I cry. We long. O how long, shall o pression's dark night Enshroud like a pall, to dismay and affright?" SPECIAL NOTICE.

PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA COLORED DEATH RATE CONTINUES TO DECREASE The following letter sent to Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, by Louis I. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, in reply to an inquiry from Mr. Jones to Dr. Leo Frankel, third vicepresident of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, concerning mortality of the colored policyholders of that company, is indicative of the improving health conditions among the Negro population in America: "This is a belated acknowledgment of your letter of April 12 to Dr. Frankel. You asked us then what the mortality figures for this company showed for Negro males and females, as compared with those of white males and females. "At that time our data was not prepared to show the condition among colored people. We have since completed an investigation, which indicates a rather interesting situation among colored lives. The comparison is between 1911 and 1919 and applies to our industrial business only. The previous figures were for the years 1911 and 1917. The facts indicate that there has been a decline in the mortality among colored people insured in this company of 9.3 per cent during this eight-year period as compared with a decline of 15.7 per cent among white lives. The reduction among colored males was 9.8 per cent and among colored females 6.6 per cent as compared with 19 and 12.6 per cent among white males and females, respectively, during the same period. "We find some interesting conditions of improvement in mortality for the principal causes of death. Thus typhoid fever has declined from a rate of 46.3 per 100,000 in 1911 to a rate of 14.6 in 1919. This means a reduction of 68 per cent in eight years. The reduction among white lives was 67.4 per cent. The four acute infectious diseases of childhood, including measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and diptheria, showed a decline of 63.1 per cent in these years. Tuberculosis of the lungs showed a decline of 21.6 per cent; organic diseases of the heart, 6.6 per cent, and the diseases relating to child-bearing, 8.4 per cent. Accidents declined 1.5 per cent. On the other hand, there were increases in the rate from influenza and pneumonia and a very slight rise from Bright's disease. "Altogether, the picture is an encouraging one and indicates that there has been a substantial improvement in mortality among colored people in the year 1919. It will be necessary to watch the conditions of this race during the period of 1920 to observe whether the improvement was only temporary or really significant as an indication of better living and sanitary conditions. "The above figures are based on close to one and one-half million colored policyholders in the year 1919, representing every area of the country and virtually every year of life The Grammar School The Academy The School of Arts and Sciences The Department of Music TERM OPENS SEPTEMBER 21, 1920 For further information and Catalog, address JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORT Catalog, address RHAM, NORTH CAROLINA For further information and Catalog, address "We shall be very much interested to get your reaction to these figures. We should like also to be informed as to the health campaigns, which you have conducted among colored people and what plans you have for the future. We are at your service and should be very glad, indeed, to hear from you." --- --- Mr. Jones hopes to work out an arrangement by which, at the league's conference in Newark, October 20-23, the colored insurance companies throughout the country may learn the methods by which the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company has done so much to lengthen the life of its policyholders and thus further health improvement work among Negroes. The Urban League conducts annual health campaigns and feels that this work might be greatly improved through intensive work of established agencies which are directly in touch with family life of the people. ARKANSAS WANTS. CONGRESS. Little Rock, Ark., July 14 (by Reciprocal News Service). Backing up their verbal invitation, the Sunday School forces of Little Rock have communicated to the Sunday School Congress headquarters of Nashville, Penn, their desire to entertain the 1921 session of the Sunday School Congress. This information was given out by Mr. G. W. Milsap, who is at the head of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. forces of the state, and he said his invitation was backed up by the leading churches of Little Rock, which is the capital of Arkansas by the mayor of the city, the chamber of commerce and the commercial organizations of the State. He says he feels confident that Little Rock would entertain the Sunday School Congress as no other city has been able to do. Before After For Corns and Bunions. Will Cure All Foot Ailments.

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. PHONE: NORTH 533-J. Date of Ice Cream Every Day!

Senator Dillingham: You expected him to comply with the order and to continue to allow Moens to take photographs of these girls if he desired? Mr. Bruce: If the parents gave their consent. That was my understanding that continued, until the stop orders. Senator Dillingham: Did you look upon this memorandum as being an instruction to you for your guidance as an official order? Senator Harrison: What, if anything, did you say to Mr. Thurston about that order? Mr. Bruce: Nothing, except perhaps that I had received it. Senator Harrison: Did you tell him you had received it? Mr. Bruce: I feel sure that I did. Senator Harrison: There is no question about it? Mr. Bruce: No question. Senator Harrison: What did he say when you showed it to him? Mr. Bruce: No comment was made. Senator Harrison: Did he differ with Dr. Van Schaick? Mr. Bruce: Of course, the superintendent did not express himself, but I felt that he was of the same opinion then—the opinion that it was rather dangerous to allow this man to be in the schools. Senator Harrison: Did you raise any protest; then, when that letter came? Mr. Bruce: My protest had been raised previously at the time when Mr. Wilkinson, of the Dunbar High School, made his report. I recall, if I may say so, that his report was first an oral one, being followed immediately by a letter. As soon as I received the oral report I took the matter up. Senator Dillingham: With whom? Mr. Bruce: With the superintendent of schools. Senator Dillingham: Before you received the letter? Mr. Bruce: Before the letter reached me. You see, the letter was mailed on the day on which the incident occurred, reaching me the following day, and the telephonic communication came to me on the day on which the letter was written. Senator Harrison: When you received that memorandum you notified Mr. Thurston, you say, of its contents, and then Moens continued to visit the schools? Mr. Bruce: He did until the stop order of October 15, 1917, or thereabouts. Mr. Bruce: He left Washington on May 31, 1917. Senator Harrison: After the stop order was issued did you hear of Moens visiting the schools any more? Mr. Bruce: After the stop order a complaint came in, due to the interest of Mrs. Cook, about the presence of Moens at the Miner, Normal School. Senator Harrison: He went there after the stop order had been issued? Mr. Bruce: Yes, sir. Senator Harrison: What was her complaint? Mr. Bruce: That he was in the building and that his presence was menacing. Senator Harrison: Did she say that he was frequenting the building? Mr. Bruce: I don't think she said that. Senator Harrison: Did she say that she had seen him there more than once? Mr. Bruce: She had seen him there on a particular occasion, and she felt that his presence was objectionable. Senator Harrison: What did you do, then? Mr. Bruce: Issued to the principal immediately instructions that he should not be permitted to enter that school any more. Senator Harrison: To what principal? Mr. Bruce: To the principal of the Miner. Normal School, Dr. Lucy E. Moten. Senator Harrison: Is that the school in which Miss Hunter was then a teacher? Mr. Bruce: At that time she was teaching in the Dunbar High School, to which she had been transferred January 1, 1915, but previous to the transfer she had been teaching at the Miner Normal School. Senator Harrison: He had visited her there? Senator Harrison: You had heard that he had. Why do you say presume, then? Mr. Bruce: He had been at the Miner Normal School. while she was there? Mr. Bruce: I don't know. Senator Harrison: You heard that he had been there a good many times? Mr. Bruce: I could not say. Senator Harrison: After she was transferred to the Dunbar High School did he visit her there any? Mr. Bruce: Not to my knowledge. Senator Harrison: The only school you know he visited after October 15, 1917, was the Miner Normal School? Mr. Bruce: That is my recollection. (Continuation of his speech.) The present superintendent, Mr. Thurston, was elected in 1913. He was re-elected in 1917. Notice has been served on him by the present Board of Education that he will not be re-elected this year. From 1913 to 1917, when he was re-elected, harmony, as stated, by the committee, prevailed in the public school system of Washington. There was complete cooperation between the Board of Education and the Board of Education and the Superintendent. There were men on the board, at that time who were leading citizens of the city; men of large business affairs, of splendid educational qualifications, of high ideals and high standing. I wish to bring to the attention of the Senate the testimony of some of the men whose names are household words in Washington, who served from 1913 to 1917 with the present Superintendent, when there was complete cooperation and harmony in the system. I know of no better way than to take their testimony as to the fitness and qualifications of the Superintendent and then to analyze the conditions since 1917, to study and analyze the personnel of the Board since the deplorable conditions arose, in order that we may form our conclusions therefrom. Mr. Henry P. Blair was a member of the Board prior to 1916, when Dr. Van Schaick, the present president of the Board, became a member of the Board. Mr. Blair says, at page 819 of the hearings, that Thurston was elected because he was the best qualified man in the system. He had grown up in the system. He had been Assistant Superintendent in charge of the white schools. Mr. Blair goes further and says: "About the middle of that renovation, if anyone may call it that, Dr. Davidson received the Pittsburgh election and determined that he had gone far enough with this problem here so that he could in fairness leave the Washington schools, and yet there was a very considerable amount of work still to be done in connection with the business reorganization. That was successfully accomplished during the earlier years of Mr. Thurston's superintendency. It was problems of that character that first had to be dealt with. It seemed to me, and it seemed to the Board, that he dealt with them efficiently. "After that was done, we were feeling that the time had come when we could take up the other side of the work; if I may so call it; and go ahead with that. Mr. Thurston I always found in respect to these matters careful, conscientious, up to date as far as I could see, examining propositions with caution and care, rather than accepting them because somebody suggested they might be a nice thing to have in the Washington schools; good judgment as to what were fads and what were not fads, and as the growth and development, as it seemed to me, of the educational side of the school system was inaugurated and was being successfully carried on, starting with its beginnings about the time that my active service with the Board ceased. "I feel that we had taken Mr. Thurston from the position of Assistant Superintendent, where his duties were confined to those assigned to him, by the Superintendent; that we had every reason to feel that he was growing and developing splendidly and that he was going to make an efficient and successful Superintendent. I feel that he required cooperation. I feel that he required an opportunity to consult in a friendly spirit, not a hostile one, with the members of the Board of Education, and if he had it that he was destined to grow and develop, as I feel he has, very much since his original appointment." I now desire to read to the Senate what Mr. William T. Galliher stated before the committee. He is another man who stands in the forefront among the citizenship of the District. About the only thing I know against him is that he is a Republican. You do not object to that, Senator Sherman? Mr. Sherman: No. Now I desire to read what Mr. John B. Larner said—another man who served on the Board, from 1913 to about 1917, who stands high in the city of Washington and whose estimate of Mr. Thurston deserves con- sideration by the Senate. * * * Now I desire to read what Mr. George E. Hamilton, another business man, a person of high education, testifies. He was a member of the Board and testifies as to the qualifications of Mr. Thurston. He went on the Board as a friend of Van Schaick, * * * "at the suggestion of Dr. Van Schaick." As we go along in the discussion, we will see that many of the members who took the places of old members on the Board were suggested by Dr. Van Schaick or were endorsed by him to the appointing power. * * * Mr. John F. Daniel, who had served on the Board from 1913 to 1917 and who was defeated in 1916 for president of the Board by Dr. Van Schaick, was not in the city during the hearing, and he did not testify before the committee; but the fact is that Mr. Daniel, in 1917, voted for the re-election of Mr. Thurston as Superintendent, thereby expressing himself that he held him in very high esteem as a Superintendent of Schools. It is peculiar that in 1917 those men on the Board who voted for the re-election of Mr. Thurston gradually have been eliminated from the Board and others have been placed in their stead; it is peculiarly strange also that in 1916, when Dr. Van Schaick was appointed on the Board and immediately sought the presidency of the Board, or at least his friends placed his name there as a candidate for the presidency, those members of the Board who voted against the election of Dr. Van Schaick as president have been gradually divorced from the system and others have been substituted in their stead; so by the process of elimination, during the past four years, those who did not agree with the policy and insisted on voting against the election of Dr. Van Schaick as president of the Board and for the re-election of Mr. Thurston as Superintendent have been separated from the public school system of Washington. Whether it is because the president of the Board, Dr. Van Schaick, was so powerful and influential with the appointing power that his say controlled, I can not state, but I will lay before the Senate the facts that appeared before the committee, and that was that the men who were appointed from 1916 until the present time have, in practically every instance, received the endorsement of Van Schaick for appointment, and in most instances the persons who were appointed did not seek the position until it was suggested to then by Dr. Van Schaick himself that they be appointed. Appointments to the Board of Education come from the Supreme Court judges of the District, whose place and authority are such that they have no business in the world to mingle in such matters, and I can not believe that the Supreme Court judges desire to assume such a function. What business has the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia naming the Board of Education for the District of Columbia? Do they associate generally with the people? Do they study local conditions? Are not judges, by virtue of the very position that they hold, dissociated from the "common touch," dissociated from current events, secluded in the study of great and intricate judicial questions? But that authority was lodged with the Supreme Court judges of the District, and we find that since 1916 Dr. Van Schaick has been most popular and evidently influential with some members of the court. Mr. Henderson: Mr. President— The Presiding Officer: Does the Senator from Mississippi yield to the Senator from Nevada? Mr. Harrison: I yield: Mr. Henderson: When the Senator refers to appointments having been made by the Supreme Court judges, he refers to the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, does he not? Mr. Harrison: Yes. The old members of the Board who served from 1913 to 1917 except two — Mrs. Rhodes and Mrs. Cook—voted for the re-election of Thurston, and I want to discuss Mrs. Rhodes and Mrs. Cook a little later on. In the election of the president of the Board in July, 1916, the old members voted against Van Schaick, with but one exception and that was Mrs. Rhodes. The only member now on the Board who voted for Thurston in 1917 is Mrs. Gerry, and I shall show before I finish that she quickly changed her attitude toward Thurston and became the chief lieutenant of Dr. Van Schaick, the president of the Board. Without analyzing the attitude of Dr. Simon and Dr. Neill, who became members of the Board very recently, let us discuss the attitude of the members of the Board, especially those who opposed the re-election of Mr. Thurston. Let us first take up Mrs. Cook. Anyone who reads the testimony can see a thread running all through it that Dr. Van Schaick absolutely dominated one faction of the Board. Van Schaick had but to whistle and— "Instant, from copse and heath, arose Bonnets and spears and bended bows." His followers, like those of Roderick Dhu, started up in every direction, ready and eager to perform his bidding. I shall point from the testimony that that description is not overdrawn.
