INNOCENT ARE MURDERED IN THE BLACK REPUBLIC WILSONISM RUNNING RIOT IN HAITI. Violates Our Constitution and Brings Miséry to Negro Republic—Inexcusable Censorship Maintained by Administration Conceals the Facts From American People, but Explosion is Imminent in Land Where Natives are Diven Like Slaves at Point of Bayonet and Shot if They Rebel—Military Funerals at Arlington Tell Tale of Conflict. (By George G. Hill, Special Correspondent to The Bee.) earned. At last reports Mr. McIlhenny was still trying, with the cordial approval of Washington, to teach the Haitian officials the dire consequences of refusing to obey a white man, and especially a representative of the Wilson administration. When, despite the strict censorship, reports drifted into the United States from Haiti regarding the grave conditions there, they were denied and ridiculed by Secretary Daniels and other officials. Inquiries as to the whereabouts of Gen. Lejeune were met with the assertion that he was on a tour of inspection in South Carolina. Now; It is entirely probable that Senator Harding was himself unaware of the extent to which Wilsonism is running riot in Haiti when he charged, recently, that the administration was waging "an unconstitutional warfare" in that unfortunate Republic. The highly efficient and wholly inexcusable censorship which the administration maintains has succeeded in concealing the facts from the American public. But so great is the danger of a wholesale explosion and revolution against American tyranny that Secretary Daniels has dispatched the head of the Marine Corps, General Lejeune, and another high ranking, Marine officer, General Smedley Butler, to Haiti to endeavor, if possible, by a brave show of military strength against the largely unarmed Negroes, to cow the President of Haiti and the more intelligent of the population and to continue that "slavery" of the masses against which they are determined to rebel. While the few who are in possession of the facts, believe that, even by means of a wholly unlawful censorship, the facts cannot long be concealed, the high officials of the administration are determined they shall not become public until after the election. They realize that were the tyranny which the administration has practiced in Haiti in the name of the United States generally know it would prove a shock to every lover of liberty and justice. The Wilson administration of affairs in Haiti is founded on two propositions, one being that the Haitians being colored men they have no rights which any white man, and especially any "Southern gentleman," is bound to respect, and secondly, that the Negroes must be taught to obey every mandate from President Wilson, whether they like it or not. Actuated by these principles, John A. McIlhenny, treaty official in charge of finances, has adopted summary measures to coerce the President and the entire Cabinet of Haiti into subordination. For some months the American officials, at the direction of the administration in Washington, have been trying to induce the President of Haiti to sign a financial agreement, supplementary to the treaty under which the United States administers Haiti's affairs. The Haitian President, with the advice of his entire Cabinet, refused to sign, on the ground that the agreement would place Haiti absolutely at the mercy of a certain great American banking corporation and that this concern would thus acquire a stranglehold on Haiti for all time to come. The refusal of the Haitian officials to yield to the desires of the American officials led the President to send to Haiti a new official in charge of fiscal affairs in the person of Mr. McIlhenny, a Louisianaian, who, it was assumed, knew how to handle "niggers" and make them obey. Mr. McIlhenny was no more successful than his predecessor in coercing the highly intelligent Haitian officials and, accordingly, he stopped the pay of the President and his entire Cabinet, on July 31, and in so doing made his order retroactive. That is, he not only notified the President and his Cabinet that they would receive no pay in the future, but that they should receive none for the month of July, which, of course, they had already The Washington Bee earned. At last reports Mr. McIlhenny was still trying, with the cordial approval of Washington, to teach the Haitian officials the dire consequences of refusing to obey a white man, and especially a representative of the Wilson administration. When, despite the strict censorship, reports drifted into the United States from Haiti regarding the grave conditions there, they were denied and ridiculed by Secretary Daniels and other officials. Inquiries as to the whereabouts of Gen. Lejeune were met with the assertion that he was on a tour of inspection in South Carolina. Now, however, Secretary Daniels admits that Gen. Lejeune is in Haiti and says that it will be his effort to ameliorate the "alleged grievances" of the Haitians. "Civilize them with a Crag," would probably be the more accurate term. One of the serious grievances of the Haitians is the "courvee" which, as administered by the Marines, reduces the natives virtually to slavery. The "courvee" is a system whereby every citizen of Haiti must either pay or work out a road tax. The natives have no funds with which to pay, but as long as they were merely required to work out their tax each in his own neighborhood they did the work without complaining. Then the Marines decided it would be wise to compel the natives to work out their tax wherever the roads were in greatest need of repair. The consequences is that it is a common sight to see bands of natives, driven by Marines with fixed bayonets, far from home, living in camps, working under their taskmasters, in every way resembling the convict chain-gangs one sees working on roads in the South. The Negro who rebels or who tries to run away is promptly shot. Such shootings have led to numerous incipient rebellions. A number of natives are killed and, occasionally, a few Marines, and a report is made to headquarters that another "group of bandits" has been suppressed. If there is any official record in Washington of the number of Haitians killed it is carefully concealed, but the not infrequent burial in Arlington Cemetery of the bodies of Marines brought back from there affords silent testimony of the extent and continuity of the warfare and of the cost of teaching the Negroes to obey the imperial mandates which emanate from the White House and which Commissioner McIhenny and his fellow officials are trying to enforce. Officers of the military establishment are made to realize that for them to disclose, or even to discuss, the outrages they have witnessed in Haiti would mean instant court-martial and dismissal from the service. But some of the more courageous state emphatically that Senator Harding in no wise exaggerated when he referred to the "unconstitutional warfare" and that, in fact, he greatly understated the facts. P. D. MORRIS HEADS GROWING CORPORATION The Man Who Has Succeeded in a Beneficial Role in Progressive Investment Association - What It Stands For. The Progressive Investment Association, of which Mr. P. D. Morris is president, is one of the growing corporations in the Nation's Capital. No real estate promoter is better known in this city than Mr. Morris. He has been actively engaged in the real estate business for a number of years, and before he came to this city he was slowly rising in Louisa county, Va. He is a quiet and unassuming individual, but a very positive character. Last week he visited his home and received a royal reception. Little did the natives think that he was the same youth who left his home some years ago and now The image shows a group of soldiers in uniform, likely from a military unit, gathered in a room. The soldiers are wearing helmets and carrying rifles, suggesting they are prepared for a battle or training session. The setting appears to be a military base or a training facility. The soldiers are positioned in a semi-circle, facing the camera, with some facing the camera directly and others slightly turned away. The background is indistinct, but it seems to be an outdoor setting with a building or a wall. The soldiers are wearing dark uniforms, and their helmets are also dark. The image is black and white, with no visible colors.

What It Stands For. The Progressive Investment Association stands for something because a reliable and honest man is at the head of it. It is to help the masses and not the few. When you talk to Mr. Morris, you deal with a positive character and a man above the common-level. See the advertisement of this association on another page and write to him today. MR. P. D. MORRIS. Mr. P. D. Morris, president, organizer and promoter of the Progressive Investment Association, a corporation capitalized to operate a first-class, well-equipped steam laundry and carry on the business of real estate, is worthy of consideration. Mr. Morris was born in Louisa coun- OFFICERS OF THE 370TH REGIMENT Aboard Ship, Returning From France, Each Decorated With the Croix de Guerre. (Insert) Col. Otis B. Duncan, Commanding Officer ty, a., which fact he prizes highly because of its reputation for great men and things. He spent the early part of his life in West Virginia, which is noted for its beautiful mountain scenery, mountain railroads, rockbed rivers and numerous coal mines. He served in the daring capacity of coal miner and contractor, also taking an active part in the political affairs and was appointed peace officer of the community, serving with credit for several years and making himself felt with those with whom he came in contact by his wise counsel and friendly acts. Mr. Morris came to this city over twenty-five years ago, entering Wayland Seminary, completing the course in four years. He speaks of Wayland as being one of the greatest schools of English, academic subjects and theology of today. Wayland Seminary is now the Union University of Richmond, Va. He entered the law school of Howard University and read law for more than two years, believing that every man should have a knowledge of law, for it would be of use to him from a business and economic standpoint. Having an early business training, he again resumed business as a profession. As a restaurant proprietor, he had no equal; everything was sanitary, clean and inviting. His business was increased by the addition of a store, which carried a full line of fine groceries, all of which was a marked success. But, above all, he is a Christian gentleman, a lover of his church, and has devoted much tinie to its cause. He cast his lot with Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington in 1906, and has served this old Zion as a trustee since that period. Mr. Morris is a race man pure and simple, and any member of his group desiring to make an investment will find the Progressive Investment Association a safe and sound one, with Morris hand on the pilot wheel steering the ship, and surely make a safe and successful voyage, landing in the beneficial and financial harbor. You have no doubt made substantial provision for yourself and family while sick, and for a respectable burial after death. But have you made suitable provision while living for yourself and family, or that noble boy or that beautiful girl whom you are toiling from day to day to educate and rear to manhood or womanhood to become useful citizens in the community when old age creeps upon you or disappointments encounter you? Have you made a place in the business world for these young folks when they shall have matured or completed their course in school? If you have not, begin now to invest; if you have, begin further to invest in a legitimate corporation, for successful results can be best obtained by combined efforts. You should scorn the phrase "I am getting by." The man who is getting by is in fair circumstances today, but in doubt as to his condition or bread tomorrow. The man who works on a small, paltry salary has never made a fortune or accumulated wealth, and yet serves all his time as a slave to his employer. These times, if never before, demand that we get together and observe race pride as other races have done, make sacrifices, contribute, and combine small means and build strong and progressive enterprises. This is a practicable way to become known as men and women and to obtain help from the best-known people in the business world. Has it ever occurred to you that all of the professional men and women are getting your support without any return? Then it is fair to request them to reciprocate, do it without feeling or malice at heart, and they may assist in this movement without prejudice or discrimination in mind. The Progressive Investment Association will operate a first-class steam laundry, with expert handwork, with an authorized capital stock of $25,000 divided into shares of $5 each par value. This appeal should be far reaching to all fair-minded men and women who desire to perform a duty. You may help to build up a standard by advising your friends, with an honest purpose in view, to join this industrial pursuit. We have placed the shares of this association within the reach of everybody who desires to make small investments and have a regular annual income by being a stockholder.

Hawkins, vice-president and general manager; Walter Dyson, secretary. --- We had no intention to take an active part in this year's political campaign. We had our reasons. We have heretofore stated those reasons. Briefly, those reasons are these: None of the minor parties, however excellent their principles, have any show to win. We are not pleased with the past performances of either of the two major parties, or with their present platforms. We stand in politics, first, for the safety of our country, and, second, for the interests of the colored people of the United States. The safety of our country is not now in danger. The present prospect of bettering the interests of the colored people through politics appears to us gloomy. Consequently, we had about determined to stand neutral and let the devil take the hindmost. But neutrality ceases to be a virtue when one side in a contest, not content with advantages derived from gross and open frauds, attempts to parade in a robe of purity and casts aspersions on the purity of the rival. The Democratic party today is typical of everything that is unholy and contemptible—this by every standard of morals, whether Christian or heathen. It is the sponsor of slavery, rebellion, peonage; murder by lynch-law, prostitution of the judiciary, insularity; ignorance, bigotry, ruffianism, race and class tyranny—in short, the sponsor of violation of nearly every law of God and man, opponent of nearly every rule of fair play and reason, and the obstructor of social adjustments. Like a great, slimy serpent—ignorant, slothful, menacing—it stretches its awkward caress across the road to human betterment. Civilization in the United States is a piebald affair. It presents some attractive spots, but it presents as many sordid or ugly ones. It is something of a matter of geography. No one needs to be told what part of our country exhibits the most of those sordid and ugly spots. The Democratic party today represents the ideals and aims of that section of our country that is least developed in civilization. Its strength in that section is based on ignorance, a low standard of ethics and an acquired insanity in the form of race antipathy. The adherents of the Democratic party in other sections are chiefly among the lower classes that dwell in large cities and towns of the North and West. They are not among the best elements of those sections. In those sections the Democratic leaders are usually unscrupulous politicians who aim to profit personally by identifying themselves with the Democratic party. The rank and file of the Northern Democratic party are too ignorant and too morally obtuse to appreciate and condemn the wickedness of the regime of that party in the South. The leaders of the Northern Democratic party are persons who have affiliated with that party for specific purposes of political notoriety and pelf, and consequently they are not to be redeemed by education or by moral suasion. Now comes the nominee of the Democratic party for the Presidency and charges the Republicans with the design of resorting to the immoral and illegal act of buying the Presidency, as if to say that to do this would be unfair and that it ought not to be done. How can we longer remain neutral in the presence of such hypocrisy and audacity? We have heretofore shown (see four two last issues) that the Democratic party will come to the Electoral College with the results of probably the equivalent of one million ballots obtained by open and boasted frauds in the South. They expect to get away with this fraud without question or challenge. And yet they have the effrontery and nerve to express fear that the Republicans may take some effective steps in the North to offset this fraud. We are not in the counsels of the Republican managers, but we venture the prediction that they will demonstrate that they are not a set of cowardly idiots; that they will win the forthcoming election; and that once they are in power again they will enact such a national elections law as will forever put an end to the election frauds in the South, and probably put the Democratic party out of existence. The colored voters in those sections where the Democratic party is powerless to prevent them from voting should make a special effort this year to aid in this. There were never before so many reasons why the Democratic party in this country should be annihilated. As a public evil it is becoming more and more aggravating; it is a growing menace. Many great public reforms demand attention in this country. They would be facilitated and hastened if we had two decent major parties of nearly even strength. The Democratic party stands in the way of a second decent major party. The first step is to whip and shame that party out of existence and into perpetual oblivion. COX-GOMPERS CHARGE Killed by Statement of William M. Wood on Shut-Down Causes. Chicago, September 28.—Cox and Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, are making the bold charge that through Republican influences the big industries of the country are being closed down for the sole purpose of forcing the employees of the plant to support the Republican ticket—another way of saying the Republican party is in a high conspiracy to defeat the will of the people in the November election. Cox makes one of his usual bombastic threats that he is going to start an investigation. He will, it is assumed, investigate the Pennsylvania Railroad putting off 10,000 employees for the reason, as stated by the railroad officials, for lack of business, and the American Woolen Mills Company, which closed down some weeks ago, for want of orders, throwing out of employment some 40,000 to 50,000 mill operatives. William M. Wood, president of the American Woolen Mills Company, in a statement given out recently in this connection, said: "For Governor Cox, or anyone else, to say that the mills of the American Woolen Company were shut down for any other reason than for want of orders is too ridiculous to pay any attention to." Cox is applying politician tactics to get into the spotlight regardless of facts. He is a fictionist and ready to denounce any man or principle that stands in his political pathway. His boasted claim of friendship for labor is discredited by his record. Later there will be a story forthcoming of Cox's record on convict labor while governor of Ohio. It will show him up in his true light, and it will be unenviable, to say the least. Chicago, September 28. There are those in the alleged non-partisan political labor campaign of the American Federation of Labor blinded by political partisan hatred for Republican members of Congress, for no other reason than that the voted for the Transportation Act of 1920, who are singing in the labor press and on the rostrum the doctrine of their hymn of hate to make it appear that the Republican party is the enemy-of labor and that Cox and his party are the friends of the wage earners. One of the fundamentals for which organized labor has been the insistent champion is child welfare, regulation or prohibition of child labor, compulsory education and physical care of the children and investigation of infant mortality. The Republican party by a long record has kept a step or two in advance of this important and highly commendable policy of organized labor to secure legislation regulating child labor. The barbarity of child labor is graphically told by Elbert Hubbard after a visit to a Southern cotton mill, where hundreds of under-nourished, over-worked and scantily clad little boys and girls do the-galley-slave act in the treadmill of industry in Democratic territory. Here is what Mr. Hubbard said: "I thought to lift one of the little toilers in order to ascertain his weight. Through his thirty-five pounds of skin and bone there ran a tremor of fear, and he struggled forward to tie a broken thread." William L. Hutchinson, general president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, and John H. Potts, of Cincinnati, national official of the same organization in charge of its interest in the Third district, including Ohio, were among the visitors at the Marion Labor Day celebration. They called on the Senator during the day and discussed labor questions. Afterwards Mr. Hutchinson said: "During the war I had many occasions to meet the representative of the Government departments, and while many tried to give the impression they favored organized labor, their actions did not bear it out. I had occasion to meet Senator Harding, and when I presented my views as to how the Government officials should recognize the established standards as to hours, wages and working conditions of organized workers, I found him in complete agreement. By this attitude at that time, and also by the things he actually did, he showed himself entirely favorable to the workers. The fact is that a comparison of his record with Governor Cox's proves Senator Harding much more favorably inclined to organized labor Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Holding Probate Court No. 23,917, Administration.

Chicago, September 29.—In .refuta- tion of the charge made by President Gompers, of the American Federation of ‘Labor, that Senator Warren G. Harding, the Republican presidential nominee, is an enemy of organized la- bor, Al Hamilton, of Marion, Ohio, who is a’ former employee of Senator Harding, says: : ‘ “Permit me to refute certain rumors that are gaining some credence as ,to Senator Warren. G. Harding’s stand on the labor question, also to cite a few’ of his characteristics as analyzed from personal observation. . | “Tt has been rumored that he is.on record as having said that ‘$1.50. a day is sufficient compensation for any la- boring man. Having been in, his em- ploy a few years ago, I can conscien- tiously refute such a charge. He was paying me, on piecework, an average ‘of $2.50 per day and, mind 'you, éach of those “John Dollars’ had the ear- marks of the dollars of. our dads— worth one hundred -cents per dollar.

C., OCTOBER 2, 1920 Once upon a time the members of the body took it into their heads not to work for the stomach because it was idle and useless. The hands refused to carry food to the mouth, the mouth refused to receive it, the teeth refused to chew, so the stomach starved. The members of the body saw that they were starving, so they decided to work in harmony and for their benefit. The announcement that Bill MacDonald, of Texas, had left the Republican party, and gave as his reason that the party had not followed its traditions, that the last National Republican Convention was dominated by Will H. Hays, and MacDonald was counted out. Suppose every Republican that entered a political contest was counted out, where would the party be? What party made it possible for Mr. MacDonald to be able to become a banker in Texas? What party made it possible for Mr. MacDonald to breathe the air of liberty while in Chicago, while his freed brothers suffered in the South. What party forces Mr. MacDonald to ride in a "jim-crow" car while on his way from the South to Chicago? The Republican party may not have done all of its duty toward its faithful black allies, but the Democratic party has done nothing but oppress them and continues to oppress and humiliate them. The colored brother may follow the example of the members of the body, but the colored voter should open his book and review his lessons. Because a man cannot satisfy his personal ambitions, there is no reason for him to attempt to damn the entire race. THE AMERICAN'S CREED. "I believe in the United States of America as the Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those just principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."

The foregoing is the standard American creed. Very good in principle as far as it goes. MRS. TERRELL APPOINTED. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, president of the Women's Political League of the District of Columbia, perhaps the most widely known colored woman in the world because of her many and varied activities, left the city Sunday for National Republican Committee headquarters in New York City, where she is to have entire charge of campaign work in the Eastern Division among women. Mrs. Terrell will have a large office force at her command, and will assign speakers and organizers where she thinks they will do the most effective work. Closely associated with Mrs. Terrell will be Miss Jeannette Carter, whose professional reputation as a hustler has gone far and wide. Mrs. Terrell will assign Miss Carter to important work. Miss Carter is strongly endorsed by Hon. James B. Reynolds, personal representative of Governor Calvin Coolidge, and General T. Coleman du Pont, while Mrs. Terrell is recommended by Edward F. Collady, National Republican Committeeman for the District of Columbia and her league, and her appointment came mainly through his recommendation. Mrs. Terrell has traveled abroad, and speaks several languages fluently. She was the only colored woman delegate to the International Congress of Women in Switzerland. SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS. The Board of Education adopted the progressive procedure of holding open meetings and inviting all citizens interested in the welfare of the schools to appear for consideration of the estimates for the ensuing year. Many of the colored organizations and many of the colored citizens took advantage of this privilege and presented requests for more school equipment for the colored schools for next year. Mr. H. D. Woodson appeared for the citizens of Burrville and asked that the entire appropriation for the new Burrville School be used. Mr. Edward Lossing, Mr. M. Grant Lucas and Mrs. Marshall appeared for the --- members of the body took it into their mouth because it was idle and useless to the mouth, the mouth refused to chew, so the stomach starved.

They also asked for an injunction to restrain the Commissioners from building the wooden building at Deanwood. Principals G. C. Wilkinson, A. C. Newman, Lucy D. Slowe and Eugene Clark spoke for the needs of their respective schools. Mr. Henry E. Baker and Dr. Wiseman presented the claims of the Howard Park Citizens' Association, and Mr. John W. Smith told of the indignation of the citizens of Deanwood over the injustice to their school. Mr. Percy Bond, of the Business League, urged the construction of a new Business High School, as did Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Thomas. LEAVE FOR PORTO RICO. Mrs. John R. Francis, wife of the late John R.

The local talent that went to England and France early in the season have now returned to their home city. Verily, there is no place like "Home, Sweet Home!". **** Pictures of the Odd Fellows' Band of Washington, D. C., showing the important part these musicians played in New York City during the B. M. C., were exhibited at Loew's Columbia Theatre on F street during all last week. *** The colored musical team playing at the Gayety Theatre on Ninth street northwest, known as the Brynan Brothers, last week, served to attract capacity crowds, who, judging from the applause received, fully appreciated their clever playing on saxophones. * * * Washington vocal talent must wake up.

Tignor is kept busy daily at his office collecting rents, making out vouchers, and his potary public work. Clarence is very popular on this side. The grounds of the Non-Sectarian Home have been greatly beautified by the clearing away of useless trees and shrubbery. We congratulate the ladies of this home. CORINTHIAN SETTLES ARGU- MENT. The "dispute" of August 5 between the Corinthian and Datcher teams was finally settled on Friday, September 17, at the American League Park, when Corinthian brought away the honors with a score of 8 to 5. "Lefty" George Smith held down the mound for the Corinthians in true Corinthian style, ever holding the heavy-hitting Datcherites at his mercy. The weather was ideal for the occasion, although the attendance was very scant. However, the few loyal fans who witnessed the "melee" were keyed up to their highest pitch of enthusiasm and supported both opponents loyally. Hard, but fair, Datcher. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS NEWS. Hon. S.

Dear Sir: I know of nothing that has happened lately that has given me such genuine joy as the announcement of your defeat in the primaries. I am one of the members of the organization that plead with the committee, of which you were chairman, to report favorably the Madden bill preventing segregation as to interstate passengers: I was well aware of the fact that you, a Republican, were not sincere in what you said to us in private conversations.

You may rest assured that the time has come when colored citizens will no longer sit quietly by and submit to those unjust discriminations. We trust that this may end your political career.

DEPARTMENTS ALREADY ESTABLISHED PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potmac. Those who failed to see the recent picture of the Monumental Pictures Corporation on local events missed a treat. There were some features and characters that Lieutenant Clifford could have left out. It would seem to us that the characters referred to have figured very prominently in the Moens case. Well, some people have gall. It takes gall to go through this world. Of course, the fly speck had to play monkey. Just what this individual saw to cut a shine I don't know. Link Johnson looked as if his mouth was full of tobacco. The dance at the Dunbar High School, of which so much talk was made, doesn't show up. The artist did not come up to the standard. It is strange that colored pictures show up so black. It makes no difference as to color; it the light as well as the darkskinned are not distinct. I was talking with a well-known philosopher a few days ago, and he threw gloom over me.

Of the twelve former service men who were killed in the explosion in Wall street, New York, last Thursday noon, only two had maintained their Government war risk life insurance after being discharged. One of these was Colonel Charles Neville, until recently in the Quartermaster Corps, U. S. A., and the other William T. Joyce, an employee of J. P. Morgan and Company and a former member of the United States Signal Corps. Colonel Neville and Joyce each carried a $10,000 policy. The former officer named his wife as beneficiary, and Joyce, who lived at 1806 Ditman avenue, Brooklyn, made his mother, Mrs. Esther Payne Joyce, his beneficiary. Joyce entered the service March 8, 1918; and, like more than 46 per cent of the other men joining the colors, named his mother his beneficiary. The other former service men who met their death in the explosion had allowed their insurance to lapse. DR. W. L. SMITH'S INDIGES TION CURE.

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.

NEGRO WOMEN VOTERS NOT SO EASILY HANDLED That colored women in the South, enfranchised by the woman suffrage amendment, will be less easy to intimidate out of voting than men is the assertion of the current bulletin of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "Colored women are not going to be so easily handled," says the bulletin, "nor are they going to submit to disfranchisement as readily as colored men in the past: Their record of protest, against prejudice during past years is proof of that fact." The Advancement Association is urging its branches throughout the country to form classes for the training of newly enfranchised women in the duties and privileges of voting. THE PRESIDENT REFUSED. President Wilson has refused to interfere with the execution of the death sentence imposed upon Josephine Berry by Justice Stafford of the District Supreme Court. This means that the colored girl, weighing 70 pounds and only 20 years old, will be hanged in the National Capital, and a wave of protest, headed by her attorney, Harry L. Tignor, and her spiritual adviser, Rev. Gustavus P. Rodgers, has arisen. Every effort will be made to have the President reconsider the matter. The girl was convicted of murder in the first degree, and following the verdict there was nothing for the trial justice to 0 a. do but impose the death penalty. Much sympathy has been aroused in favor of the girl, as she is motherless, fatherless, friendless and penniless. Since her incarceration no one has visited her except her attorney and her spiritual adviser. Although born almost in the shadow of the Capitol, the girl can neither read nor write. She has lived among the slums all her life and has never had the advantages of any moral training, and the only religious teachings she has ever received have been given, her since she has been confined in the District jail. "THE SMARTER SET" COMING. Musical comedies good, bad and indifferent come and go, leaving but a passing memory of their purpose behind. Occasionally, however, the advent of one is announced which has stood the test of criticism of the press and public wherever it has appeared. America's greatest and best colored organization, "The Smarter Set," headed by the foremost comedians, Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, will present their latest and original jazzonian operetta, "Bamboula," in two acts with ten scenes, will be the attraction at the Howard for one week, starting October 3. Aside from "The Smarter Set" boasting of a generally well-balanced cast of singing principals, who are well-known to the theatregoing public, they are fortified with their famous "bronze chorus," who have the ability for singing and dancing. --- "Bamboula" had its first performance at the Dunbar Theatre, Philadelphia, on Labor Day, September 6, and proved one of the best and biggest shows that Whitney and Tutt have ever produced. The scenery is picturesque, the costuming elaborate, the company excellent, while the music is original and catchy. There are thirty-three numbers in the show of the proper kind of swing that makes everybody want to hum. The attendance was so large and so many were turned away that a return engagement has been booked for the Dunbar for the week of November 1. Philadelphia has proclaimed "Bamboula" a knock-out, and it is. HOWARD UNIVERSITY HAS OVERFLOW OF STUDENTS From all indications Howard University will face a considerable overflow of students this year. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, announces that both the young men's dormitory and the young women's dormitory are filled to their capacity, and students now sending in applications for reservation of rooms will find it necessary to seek accommodations with nearby residents. The office of the registrar, Prof. Dwight O. W. Holmes, has received over 700 applications for admission to the freshman class alone. Of this number, over 350 applicants have been accepted for admittance, with the possibility of the acceptance of nearly 200 additional applicants. There is little doubt that Howard University will have a freshman class of approximately 500 students. The large number of students who are being admitted, together with the record-breaking attendance of last year, makes easy the prediction that the university will have an enrollment during 1920-21 of nearly 2,000 students. This year marks the second year of Howard's life as an institution giving purely collegiate and professional training, having discontinued its preparatory departments at the end of the school year 1918-19. Extensive repairs have been made during the summer in connection with the dormitory buildings and in the care and improvement of grounds. The students returning for courses in the college, law and medical departments will find an institution greatly freshened and improved. Upper classmen are sending letters of greeting and welcome to all prospective students. The sophomores plan to extend their greetings in person. The whole university looks forward with pleasant anticipation to the registration period, which includes September 27, 28 and 29. The regular school term begins Thursday, September 30, 1920. AUXILIARY ENTERTAINS AT BLUE PLAINS HOME. Ladies of the General Baptist Missionary Convention of the District Bring Joy to the Home for Aged and Infirm. The entertainment given by the missionary convention on Labor Day will long be remembered by the matron and superintendent of the Home for the Aged and Infirm, at Blue Plains, D. C. The convention was ably assisted by the missionary circles of Baptist Church. A program was rendered and a soul-stirring sermon was preached by Rev. Chapman Walker. The 173 colored and 99 white inmates were all made happy by the serving of 18 gallons of icecream and 40 pounds of home-made cake. The affair was superintended by Miss S. E. Minor. The president, Mrs. A. C. Williams, went to Indianapolis to attend the National Baptist Convention. She returned home more determined than ever to get the Baptist women of the District together. The District delegation was highly entertained by Dr. and Mrs. Mack and Lawyer Dunn. After driving around the city, refreshments were served by these prosperous people of Indianapolis.

Sworn to and subscribed before me this 28th day of September, 1920. (My commission expires January 3 1921.) "THE SMATER SET." It has been a long time since the theatre-goers of this city have had an opportunity to see a real colored road attraction; and the very fact that "The Smarter Set," headed by the well-known comedians, Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, comes to the Howard Theatre next Sunday, presenting their latest jazzonian operetta, "Bamboula," in two acts with ten scenes of beautiful scenic effects and costumings, makes the occasion still more interesting. The patrons of the Howard Theatre will readily recall the wonderful impression made on their last visit to this city. In the two acts and ten scenes every bit of the settings are especially made for the offering, and there are many musical numbers that it would require too much space to give a complete list of them. The cast includes forty people, and the famous bronze chorus is said to be the best in the history of "The Smarter Set." Dancing of every description by the best dancers and drills that will make the most experienced of the theatre-goers sit up and take notice are a part of the routine, and the comedy and straight work of the two comedians is too well known to need mention. All paths will lead to the Howard next Sunday night, October 3. FRANCIS S. CARMODY. One of the most reliable and honest Republicans in the 18th district of Prince George's County, Maryland, is Hon.
