Fixed by the Court at $5,000 and Is Furnished by the National Race Congress, Rev. William H. Jernagin, President.
Carrie Johnson, the 18-year-old girl who has been in confinement since the race riot in this city, July 21,1919, was convicted of manslaughter January 13, 1921, and the case of her father, Benjamin Johnson, who was also charged with the killing of Detective Wilson, was nolle pressed. The Government had difficulty to prove that the defendant fired the shot that killed Detective Wilson. The circumstances, as shown by the witnesses for the prosecution intending to convict the accused, were purely circumstantial.
The charge of manslaughter found was a compromise from a layman's point of view, as the indictment was for murder in the first degree. The squashing of the indictment found by the grand jury against the father, Benjamin Johnson, for the same crime, in the presence of the jury during the trial of the girl, was an unusual proceeding. The defense made by Attorneys B. L. Gaskins and T. M. Watson was masterly and they deserve words of commendation. The argument for a new trial will be made at the first opportunity.
A bond of $5,000 was requested by the court or the girl remain in jail.
BODY OF W. CALVIN CHASE LAID TO REST.
Distinguished Journalist and Barrister Honored in Death by Throng of More Than Three Thousand—Seventy-four Automobiles in Cortege—Ceremonies Both Beautiful and Impressive.
By Thomas L. Higgins, Esq., of the District of Columbia Bar.
The funeral of the late W. Calvin Chase, colored statesman, journalist and lawyer, editor and founder of The Washington Bee, was held last Thursday afternoon, January 6, 1921, from the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, of which deceased was a member. Dr. Francis J. Grimke, the pastor, was master of ceremonies. The honorary pallbearers were Judge E. M. Hewlett, Thomas L. Walker, Perri W. Frisby, Thomas L. Jones, L. M. King, Armond W. Scott and James L. Ricks, all members of the District of Columbia bar. Following these into the church came the casket borne by the active pallbearers, Messrs. L. M. Hershaw, H. P. Slaughter, John W. Lewis, D. T. Taylor, Jesse Foster, J. Finley Wilson and John W. Cromwell. The casket was of solid mahogany, dull rubbed finish; mahogany sidebar, extension handles, with metal parts of aircraft bronze. The inner casket was entirely of bronze, with solid glass top.
After introductory remarks by the master of ceremonies, followed by the invocation, Dr. M. W. D. Norman was presented to deliver the sermon. The brilliant pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church took his text from the Apostle Paul's epistle to the Hebrews, 9th chapter, 27th verse: "And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." Dr. Norman held his hearers literally spellbound as he applied the lesson of this solemn passage of Scripture to the life of the deceased. As if he had drawn new inspiration from Saint-Saen's symphonic poem "Les Preludes" and Shakespeare's "Seven Ages of Man"—"All the world's a stage"—Dr. Norman showed how the
The Washington Bee
The National Race Congress furnished the money to secure bond and court records in this case.
The Race Congress is determined to render every assistance possible to save this young and promising girl from serving a sentence for a crime of which we believe her innocent.
The Race Congress calls attention to the fact that out of all the shooting, killing and general disorder of the Washington riot of July 21, 1919, this young girl, who swears she never had a revolver in her hand, and none has been produced at the trial, is the only one, white or colored, to be convicted of even manslaughter.
Attention is called to the fact that the National Race Congress has never taken public money for this girl, because attorneys thought it unwise to do so. But now the conditions have changed, and the National Race Congress, in the interest of our womanhood, has, with the full approval of her attorneys, issued a call for assistance in the defense of this inocent colored girl.
We are also asking every true and loyal member of the race to send to the office of the executive secretary, Henry J. Callis, 619 M street northwest, Washington, D. C., for any information desired concerning the National Race Congress. Also report to this office any money which may be secured as a contribution to help in the work of uplifting the race.
successive periods of man's life are but preparations for or preludes to the grand climax—Death—as exemplified in the dramatic passing of him whose remains lay in the casket at the altar. It was a most impressive presentation of a sublime and beautiful theme.
Attorney Wilson was spokesman for the committee of the Bar Association. Elocutionist and orator, Mr. Wilson supplemented the resolutions of his associates with a touching tribute to the memory of his departed confrefre. Mr. Wilson also read a large number of telegrams and messages of sympathy.
In his eulogy on the life and the achievements of the deceased, Attorney Armond W. Scott thrilled the vast audience with flashes of such eloquence as is rarely heard in these days of that all too rapidly disappearing art. Beginning with the days when deceased was a newsboy selling newspapers and periodicals on the streets of Washington, Mr. Scott showed how the boy, with his imagination fired and his ideals quickened by many of the things published in the very papers he sold from week to week, became father to the man, the journalist, the lawyer. The eulogist told of how Mr. Chase excelled in athletics and feats of strength in the days of his youth, winning many laurels in this field of endeavor. He traced the activities of Mr. Chase along many other lines, and was especially interesting in his account of Mr. Chase's successes as an actor at one period of his life, one of his noted histrionic achievements being "Othello" as presented on the stage of the old Willard Hall on F street, where a portion of the New Willard Hotel now stands. He spoke of Mr. Chase's lifelong battle royal against political and official chicanery and dishonor, and declared that he loved the man all the more for the enemies he had made in the ceaseless warfare which he waged against the foes of civic righteousness in this community as well as in the nation at large. He feared neither friend nor foe, played no favorites, and died as he had lived, with his hand upon the journalistic helm, guiding his craft toward the

harbor of his lofty ideals and the defense of the rights and liberties of his people. Three thousand people were present to pay tribute to this great man who had fallen, and the cortege as it left the church consisted of many automobiles. The interment was in Harmony Cemetery.
AN ORDER FROM THE Y. M. P. L.
Notwithstanding the large attendance at the Y. M. P. L. meeting last Tuesday night, Mr. William B. Harris, who is always on the job, caught the eye of the president and feelingly referred to the death of the late editor of The Bee, W. Calvin Chase, whom he considered was a fearless man for the right—a thorough race man and an editor whose paper is read throughout the United States. He was always ready to publish news and assist the league through his friend and official reporter, Mr. Boston. On motion of Mr. Harris, the secretary was ordered to send a letter of condolence to the family.
SYMPATHY OF THE YOUNG MEN'S PROTECTIVE LEAGUE.
To the Family of William Calvin Chase, Sr.:
We, the Young Men's Protection League, tender our deep sympathy your sad hour of bereavement. Calvin Chase was loved by every man of the bers of our association.
We cherish his memory. We, as you, deeply mourn his loss.
We realize that there is the sourness of the death hour. Whatever else we may escape, that acid sponge will be pressed to our lips.
But there is to be a reunion.
However labyrinthian the mausoleum, however costly the sarcophagus, however architecturally grand the necropolis, however beautifully partered the family grounds, we want them all broken up by the Lord of resurrection.
The forms that we laid away with our broken hearts must rise again.
Father and mother, they must come out. Husband and wife, they must come out. Brothers and sisters, they must come out. Our darling children, they must come out. The eyes that with trembling fingers we closed must open in the lustre of the resurrection morn. The arms that we folded in death must join ours in embrace of reunion. The beloved voice that was hushed must be returned. The beloved form must come up without its infirmities, without its fatigues—it must come up.
Oh, how long it seems for some of us to wait. Waiting—waiting for the resurrection! How long! How long!
We make for your broken hearts a cooi, soft bandage of Easter lilies, and we bind it with the inscription, "The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised."
We comfort you with the thought of resurrection.
Respectfully,
Young Men's Protective League.
G. L. Walton, Rec. Sec'y.

Fourth and L streets northwest, was absent from the city Sunday, at Hollins, Roanoke county, Va., attending the funeral of his brother, Alexander Rucker, who died Friday last at the age of 77 years 10 months and 3 days. He had been a member of the church fifty-seven years, deacon for nearly fifty years, and superintendent of the Sunday School thirty years.
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Charles Langhorne. Rev. R. Beale read the obituary. The arrangements of the funeral were in charge of Mr. Lewis Hunt and his assistants. The choir of the First Baptist Church of Hollins rendered beautiful music. Miss McFarland presided at the organ. The Union Home and Charity Industrial Society of Hollins, Prof. Samuel Carrington, president, of which the deceased was a member for a long term of years, turned out in large numbers. It was a very impressive occasion.

Who's Who in Falls Church.
It is rare to find that Mr. Tinner is a tinner or that Mr. Shoemaker is a shoemaker, but we do have in our midst a carpenter named William Carpenter. He is one of the best contractors and builders in this neck of the woods. The buildings of the Virginia Home for the Feeble-minded and many fine homes in Falls Church attest to the workmanship of Mr. Carpenter.
Now, if Mr. Carpenter did nothing but build houses our biographical sketch would probably end here. He is, in addition, a trustee in the Methodist Church, a prominent worker therein, and recent president of the Epworth League. He ranks among the top-liners in the Sons and Daughters of Liberty. In the Fairfax Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. he is a valuable member of the Executive. Committee. He is a thorough race man and strong supporter of educational projects. When most men reach the age of 35 their efforts at mind improvement are about at an end, and from then on they travel in ruts to the grave; but our friend, Mr. Carpenter, does not intend to grow old that way, for he is evident at the sessions of
Mr. George W. Martin, one of the most popular business men of this city and for more than five years proprietor of the Blue Mouse, will give for the Montgomery School a special matinee Saturday at 3 p.m., for the benefit of the stereopticon views, as the school is not allowed to collect fees in the building. The teachers speak very highly of Mr. Martin and the charity work he is doing.

Fuller, president of the association, as follows: Mrs. J. W. Hamilton, president; Mrs. M. Jackson, vice-president; Mrs. J. Brown, Mrs. J. E. Brown, Mrs. A. Brooks, and Mrs. F. Ridgeway, treasurer. Remarks were made by well-known speakers and the amount of money on hand given out.
GARFIELD NOTES.
The Garfield Citizens' Association met last Thursday night to decide on some very important business for the interest of the community.
Rev. M. W. Traverse preached, as usual, one of his very powerful sermons to a very large congregation last Sunday morning. After the sermon he invited anyone that felt the need of the church to come forward. Miss Leona Johnson, who was converted last Thursday night, came forward and joined the church. Mr. Williams came forward and asked the church to pray for him.
Mr. William Heayden, of Washington, D. C., and a member of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, was a visitor at the Allen A. M. E. Church last Sunday morning, and he made some very timely remarks. At 7:30 the Union Band, of Washington, D. C., took charge of the singing and prayer meeting, and the members of the church appreciated the effort of the band in helping them to carry on the good work.
THE DEATH OF EDITOR WILLIAM CALVIN CHASE
An Irreparable Loss to the Community—Sympathetic in the Progress of Our Youth.
The passing of Editor William Calvin Chase marks a great epoch in the history of the civic life of Washington, D. C.
It is reserved for men of genius to see truths with intense clearness. Some of these men have no great talent for speech or writing, and they try to express the truths they see not so much by books as by actions. Such men in the history of education are called "doers." Comenius, Pestalozzi and Froebal are examples of this class of educators. But sometimes the man of genius has a great power over language, and then he finds for the truths he has seen fitting expression, which becomes almost as lasting as the truths themselves. Such men in the history of education are called "writers." Montaigne and Rousseau are examples of this class of educators.
It can be truthfully said in the case of our deceased friend, William Calvin Chase, that he was an example of that class of civilian which was both a "doer" and a "writer." He acted first, then followed up his actions with expressions from his pen. By so doing he became twice as powerful in working for a cause. Unlike most of his predecessors and contemporaries, Editor Chase not only figured largely in the politics of the Nation's Capital, but he took a prominent part in the civic activities of Washington City. He not only worked to help just his own family and relatives, as do most able men of the cofeded race, but he vigilently and ardently worked to help his fellowmen.
Editor Chase was particularly interested in the youth of his race, and was always on the firing line to demand that they be given a square deal by the authorities in charge, whether those authorities were white or colored. He constantly visited the Civil Service Commission, the heads of government departments, the Board of Education in Washington and the District Commissioners, to see that justice was given to members of his race employed in their services. He was the instigator of the appointment of many employees in the Bureau of Engraving, in the Government Printing Office, in the public schools and on the District playgrounds.
So extremely sympathetic was Editor Chase in the progress of our youth that at several times he went outside of his home town and came to the rescue of teachers in neighboring States to Washington; and he has been known to stay away from his office all day in order to attend a county school board meeting or a county school institute where he would go to speak in behalf of the teachers. Mr. Chase undertook to do, and accomplished, single-handed, work which many civic organizations and race organizations have failed to perform.
He was a power in the City of Washington, and the deep interest which he manifested in civic and community work will ne'er be forgotten by those who are enjoying the fruits of his labor.
May there some day be an organization formed in Washington City to continue the work which William Calvin Chage has already founded, an organization which will erect a monument in honor of his unceasing and untiring efforts to protect the aspiring youth from exploitation of power in authority.

LIFE AND DEATH
Reflecions on the Career of the Late Lamented William Calvin Chase, Editor and Proprietor of The Washington Bee, Who Died January 3, 1921.
Life is but the attendant of some form or forms of death. Death is one of the necessary attendants of life. Each involves the other. Life means the beginning and ending of the individual career and all the incidents that lie between. The existence of a mortal body, with the soul that resides therein, is but a brief cycle in the longer career of the family or the species. To produce life some form of sacrifice or penalty is necessary, and to maintain life similar sacrifices or compensations are constantly made by the living being, which are forms or degrees of death. The final ending of that life, which we commonly call death, is but one of its deaths—the final one.
It is a happy ordinance of Divinity or of Nature that death itself is attended, with no real sacrifice or penalty on the part of the deceased. We know that the body returns to the

bosom of physical nature; we believe that the soul returns to the bosom of Divinity—that each returns to its mother without penalty, without cost, without compensation. If both of these consequences of death are true, then Nature and Divinity are both enriched—they receive back their own, after lending it for a season to Earth's physical and mental turmoils and social experiments.
It is idle and vain to lament the departure of a body and spirit from our midst, if the lament is only for the departed one. If the lament is only on account of our own loss, it reflects nothing more than our self-consciousness. When a man dies whose career has been useful or conspicuously helpful to others, there can be just one great reason for great regret, and that is the loss to society. It is idle to assert that some lives can as well be spared as others and that the world will go on as well without them: Conspicuously good and great men are prodigies, and they are rare. They impress and mold society and give it a trend for the better. Some men die before their life

William Calvin Chase was one of those rare men whose talent and character constituted a valuable asset to society as a whole. He was a patriot, but his race, or the subordinate social group of which he was a part, claimed his first love. Never remiss in his love of country, never unmindful of the thanks and amenities due the white people, yet he conceived that it was his first duty as a lawyer, a statesman and a journalist to champion the just cause of his own race. At the time of his death he was in the fullness and flower of his strength and wisdom, and was actively engaged in his main life work—that of an editor seeking to improve the economic, political and social condition of the people of his own blood. He was a man who could learn and profit by experience, with the result that the work of his last years was among his best. Not only did he wage war

on the foes of his people, but he constantly sought to inculcate in them group consciousness and the spirit of race solidarity and cooperation. The work that he undertook, for which he had a peculiar and superior adaptability, has not been completed.
It would be hazardous to assert that some other man with equal wisdom and fitness will presently take up the unfinished work of Calvin Chase and pursue it as well as he could have done. The course of human progress often halts or is unsteady because of the loss of a competent and fitting leader at an unfortunate time. The loss of this great editor, this doughty fighter, at this time may prove to be such an instance. Hence we must mourn his departure—for our own sake, not his. Washington City lays a wreath of tribute on the bier of William Calvin Chase, with the legend: "No one assailed his people with impunity."
His work will endure; his memory is embalmed in the history of his time.

SHORT STORIES OF INTEREST

Life is like a child pursuing the rainbow. In the child's hand is a peppermint stick. Every little while the child must stop and rest. With each rest it nibbles at its candy and forgets the rainbow for a little while. The rainbow that men pursue is the thing called Happiness! It is ever elusive, it is never captured, because, like the rainbow, it exists only in the mind. The rainbow changes its appearance and location as the eye changes its position—and Happiness changes as the mind does. What was

looked forward to as the greatest Happiness when we were twenty would not attract us for a moment at forty. The peppermint stick, however, is real. It is food and shelter and clothing and occupation. It has stripes like the rainbow and as we enjoy it we say we are happy. But always we discover that the rainbow, after all, is the real Happiness, and we begin again to pursue it. Happiness is expectation, and nothing else.
To be always looking forward, to be always striving, that is Happiness. Only when we cease to pursue, only when we look back and see that realization never brought the joyous thrill we expected, only then do we become unhappy.
So long as we press on, still hoping and expecting that the next realization will be all that we dreamed, we remain happy. To some this will seem a statement that Happiness is only an illusion and that it is foolish to pursue a rainbow. Be it so. Think what you will. But before you realize it you will be dreaming, hoping, expecting once again:
It is the will to live that leads you on, the will to get somewhere, the eternal desire. You can only escape it by dying, and even at the last moment it will likely beckon to you and the last expiring flicker of intelligence will be hope that it is only sleep and not death that calls.

"Man can't sleep out-of-doors without freezing to death or getting the rheumatism; he can't keep his nose under water over a minute without being drowned. He's the poorest, clumsiest excuse of all creatures that inhabit this earth.
"He has got to be coddled, housed and swathed and bandaged to be able to live at all. He is a rickety sort of a thing any way you take him, a regular British Museum of infirmities and inferiorities.
"He is always undergoing repairs. A machine as unreliable as he is would have no market.
"The higher animals get their teeth without pain or inconvenience. Man's come through months of cruel torture, at a time when he is least able to bear it. As soon as he gets them they must be pulled out again. The second set will answer for a while, but he will never get a set that can be depended on till the dentist makes one.
"Man starts in as a child and lives on diseases to the end, as a regular diet. He has mumps, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, croup, tonsilitis, diphtheria, as a matter of course. Afterward, as he goes along, his life continues to be threatened at every turn by colds, coughs, asthma, bronchitis, quinsy, consumption, yellow fever, blindness, influenza, carbuncles, pneumonia, softening of the brain, and a thousand other maladies of one sort, and another.
"He's just a basketful of pestilent corruption, provided for the support and entertainment of microbes. Look at the workmanship of him in some of its particulars.
"What is his appendix for? It has no value. Its sole interest is to lie and wait for stray grape-seeds and breed trouble.
"What is his beard for? It is just a nuisance. All nations persecute it with the razor. Nature, however, always keeps him supplied with it, instead of putting it on his head.
"A man wants to keep his hair. It is a graceful ornament, a comfort, the best protection against weather, and he prizes it above emeralds and rubies, and half the time Nature puts it on so it won't stay."
"Man isn't even handsome, as compared with the birds; and as for style, look at the Bengal tiger—that ideal of grace, physical perfection and majesty.
"Think of the lion and the tiger and the leopard, then think of man—that poor thing!—the animal of the wig, the ear-trumpet, the glass eye, the porcelain teeth, the wooden leg, the silver windpipe—a creature that is mended all over from top to bottom."

Don't judge a man by the dollars in his pocket, but by the sense in his head and the gold in his heart.
The man who wins in the battle of life can only do so by hard work.

THE LATE EDITOR OF THE BEE.
One of the highest tributes. paid the late distinguished editor,
lawyer and .statesman, W. Calvin Chase, was that in the column |
of our contemporary, the Washington Eagle, on January 8. The
writer of. the. article, ‘in ‘his characteristic feeble and. narrow jour-
nalistic’ style, attempted a task beyond his ability—the writirig of
“the life and character of a great man... : ote,
“” ‘Excerpts from ‘the article follow: © ° Be . .
’ «William, Calvin Chase was a journalist of the.old school. Years
ago he appraised the: community. in which, he lived. | ‘With un-
erring instinct: he discovered what the ignorant masses of a gen-
eration rélished in print. He sought and gave’ it to’ them and
earned their ‘support in the journalistic and” political: world. “He
held in the palm, of his hand the unintelligent-colored masses’of the.
eighties andnifieties. As decadés passed, he never changed his’
appraisal of the-colored people of the Capital. . es .
. “There are those who envied him|the support of the crowd.
Some, even those more ‘intelligent and ‘ambitious, joined swith. him
to gain the crowd. ‘Keenest in denunciation of ‘his political and
“journalistic practices are those well rémembered ‘as having ‘allied
‘heir forces with his when most they desired favor.” nd @
In this article the avriter:admits that the laté editor of The Bee
worked with and had’ the plaudits. and support of the unintelligent
masses.. In this admission lies the lofty tribute. He .did what
Christ did—worked aimoge ‘the needy ‘and: lowly. whom. he’ loved:
to serve. : ’ :
“At the close of his life, while the late editor lay. in state-at, his
home, the countless throngs. from all walks of life that viewed his
mortal remains testified of his great help. and: worth to them.
He was’a “Man of the Moment,” who hada host of friends. in
ail walks of life. ; : , * “3
He was brave!. He was courageous! He was féedrless! |.
He hit no man from the rear. He waited not for men to die
that. in a.cowardly: manner he might stab them either in-high or
low places. ee oe .
Unlike the late editor, the writer of the-article about him crawled
through the grass which covered up his serpentine frame while the
editor lived. He feared even to lift up his head above the blades of
grass, lest the editor’ or someone else should: see-him and ‘be-re-
minded: of his noteworthy college ‘record or the historical events
connected with his service in‘the schools. a :
‘The other remarks we consider nothing more than sputtim fron
the ‘veriomous reptile which he typifies.and. which’ represents thi
content of his inner being. -
May God bless-and keep these lowly people. May they eve
find friends like our late editor who will ‘help them in their struggle
toward the light. ; i :

“Unbridled. servant of the people.”
What -would one naturally consider
this expression to mean? First, let
us consider. the word unbridled.
Whether referring to an ‘individual,
corporation, or what not, one fears
neither friend nor foe. Secondly, the
word “servant conveys to us the idea
of one trying to aid, promote, advise,
inform, voluntarily; one ‘who labors
or exerts himself for the benefit of
anothér. Thirdly, the three words
“of the people” does not’ mean one
‘certain class of people, is not limited
to the.educated nor the-rich andthe
like; it, means all classes. of, people,
irrespective of race, creed or previous
condition of servitude. Having at-
tempted to make ‘clear what is nat-
urally meant by the expression “un-
bridied servant: of the. people,”. how
can any medium style itself the “un-
bridfed servant of the'people” and yet
make’ ‘a fruitless attempt to belittle
the character of a man hy saying that
he, “with unerring instinct discovered
what the ignorant masses of a gener-
ation felished in print. He souglit
and gave it to them and earned their
support. in the political ‘world. “He
held in the paim of his hand. the un-
intelligent colored masses of the
eighties and nineties: As decades’
passed, he never changed ‘his ap-
Praisal of the colored people of the
Capital. ‘ Whatever commentary may’
be made upon this unusual character,
now, that he is gone, must‘also be
said as true’ of the people who for
forty years supported him, courted
him and allied themselves with him.
He would not have flourished with-
out their patronage,” etc. Are the
expressions above quoted such as one
‘would expect from an “unbridled ser-
vant Of the people”? Is not this a
most untimely reflection upon the un+
intelligent Glasses? Is this govern-
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people supported solely by the
so-called intelligent’ people?) Does
this medium receive its support solely
from the highly intellectual class of
people? Does the owner of this me-
dium, when he attempts to sell the
same outside~of large gatherings,
especially churches, refuse to sell a
copy to an individual because he is
not educated, or does he sell it to any
person who has the price?, I call the,
gods to witness. . This medium, in-
stead of being styled “unbridled ser-
vant of the people,” had ‘better be
called a‘ “solicitor for the educated
only, the patronage of the ignorant
not wanted.’ Would the’ author of
this infamous ‘attack upon the char-
acter of a dead man ‘have made such
a Statement to him. while living?, I
answer, emphatically, NO. Judge ye
that ye be not judged, for surely your
sins have found you out.

‘Appointed by President Wilson At-
tempts Bourbon Discrimination on

(from the New. xork News.) —
By direction of the Commissioner
of Immigration Frederick A. Wallis
an appointee: of President Woodrow
Wilson, an order was recently issued
segregating the colored employees on
the “ferry boat which is used to con-
vey employees, aliens and: visitors to
and from Ellis‘Island.. ©
Mr, Wallis is a Kentuckian whose
confirmation by the Senate was’ held
up on account of the activity shown
by him as’a fund collector in the in-
terest of the Democratic party. ..
Colored ,cabin passengers are scg-
regated. in the night quarters by In-
spector Harvey Schneider, a Penn-
sylvania Democrat. ‘A colored child,
aged 1l'years, at one tithe was put in
the cell.(an-iron cage reserved for the
most desperate and dangerous crimi-
nals). :
Assistant Commissioner Byron H.
Uhl, a firm friend of colored em-
ployees, has. helped’ and defended
them: during the -entire Democratic
reginié. He has, unlike. other. Repub-
licans in high places, who were quick
to ‘carfy out Southern policies where
the Negro is concerned, firmly stood
his’ ground. A , vigorous protest,
which threatens to’ bring quick: re-

sued. .~ ae”
FIRST LYNCHING FOR 1921.
Meridian, “Miss, Jan. 17.—The
South got under-the Wire in the great
American-handicap, “Lynching,” with
the first event of the’year here in. this
far-famed center of human injustice.
Rdbert Lewis, “accused” of ‘the
murder: of T, W. Greer, a. railroad
watchman, was snatched from the
hands of a policeman who had arrest-
ed him, and brutally lynched by a
mob’ of several hundred -people,’ a
number of women and children car-
rying American. flags, being in the
crowd. * +
The usual ‘perfunctory. investigation
is on, but it is not bélieved that any
of the murderers: will be apprehended
and the coroner’s jury is expected 'to
bring ‘in @ verdict of “died at the
‘hands of unknown persons.” .
“We are all doomed. to destruc-
tion,” said a white citizen of the more
conservative type, “unless the South
‘puts a stop to.lynching. We are as
sure as fate moving to a: Federal law
against ‘lynching “that will ‘bankrupt
the States like Mississippi, Georgia
and Texas, whete there is so much of
this outrage.” .
Meridian has hundreds of splendid
colored people, who say they are
planning to leave the South with the
coming of spring.
HIGH AND WORTHY TRIBUTE.
‘When. the “grim messenger” visit-
ed the birthplace and home of the
late William Calvin Chase, ministers
of all creeds rallied to ‘do him honor,
which was greatly appreciated by the
family and friends, . He was friendly
and‘ popilar with all. 3
. On the morning of thé funeral,
while the body lay in state in the late
journalist's office, Catholics of the
District paid tribute to. him through
their representative, Father, Mihm.
The father said that, although he did
not meet the late editor until thie day
of the late Ralph Langston’s funeral,
yet he came to represent those who
knew him better; that he had’ read of
the splendid work which he had done
in the District of Columbia for the
uplift of the people and which ‘was
heartily ‘indorsed by his church; that
in losing him he felt. that a big’ link
had. been lost. from -a small,. stfong
chain; that even though he had not
come in contact with him as often
as’ others of his church, he had in-
tended to da all. he could to help the
betterment of ‘the paper, which was of
such high, standard, *
His kind and loving sympathy, ‘to-
gether with the heavenly prayers'said
over the bier, were greatly appreci-
ated by the ‘relatives and friends of
the deceased. ©
‘The floral tributes which decorated
the bier of the ‘late’ William Calvin
Chase represented all walks of life
down which he’ had so successfully
walked. -There were tributes from
both races in and out of the District
of Columbia, teachers in the night
’schools,. teachers in the day schools,
parents of the community, children
in the community,. pastors, lawyers;
business men, laboring’ men, relatives
and friends. . :
“Had he not high honor?” For
‘these expressions of sympathy and
love the family of the deceased de-
sires to expréss heartfelt thanks.
‘When: you are facing a stiff prob-
lem, get The Bee and read it and no
doubt it will soon be settled.

£060 ANU DEIOCE ANOLE West .
. , DR. PARKER uses. this table in his office in treating the spine aad
aerves. It is something.entirely new and wonderful-in construction. Its
“universal joint” conforms with the principlés of anatomy and physiology of
the spinal joints and is remarkably, adapted to. manipulative treatment ef 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
end parts of the body, it will readily be understood. that health and streagth
depend largely on the condition of ‘the spine and spinal cord.’ -Strain,: weat-
ness, irregular ‘or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect
the spinal cord, thus ceusing troubles in. the organs which get their nerve
supply from that section of the cord, be it the “heart, luaga, stomach, liver,
kidneys; bowels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs. Osteopathic treatment
corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord snd nerves, regulates the cir-
culation, stréngthens the organs, and Nature does the'rest. Dr, Parker
pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes.

A large audience listened attentively to and applauded with enthusiasm the concert numbers which were recently played in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, by two colored prodigies—Eugene Mars Martin, violinist, age 16 years, and David I. Martin, Jr., 'cellist, age 13 years, both of New York. These young artists were assisted by Miss Hazel Thomas, a young colored pianiste, and by the Hampton Institute Girls' Glee Club. This was the second concert in a series arranged by R. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music at Hampton Institute.
The program announced the following musical attractions: Christine Langenhan, dramatic soprano, Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, February 4; Hazel Harrison, pianiste, February 26, and Hampton Institute Glee Club, with Marion Anderson, contralto, April 2.
The playing of the Martin brothers was characterized by serious and effective musicianship. They played like matured professionals. They created great enthusiasm and respect among their auditors. They showed the effects of good training, as well as rare native talent. They justified the high praise which music critics had given them.
The program follows: Chaconne (Vitali), Eugene Martin; rondo capriccio (Brahms), Miss Hazel Thomas; cantellena (Golterman), David Martin; "Done Paid My Vow to the Lord" (Dett), Girls' Glee Club, Ulysses S. Elam, soloist, and R. Nathaniel Dett, accompanist; chinois tambourin (Kreisler) and zigeunerweisen (Hungarian gypsy airs) (Sarasate), Eugene Martin; swan (Saint-Saens) and mazurka (Popper), David Martin; lullaby from "Jocelyn" (Godard), Girls Glee Club, Miss Parmelia Allen, violinist, and Miss Wilhelmina B. Patterson, accompanist; rondo des lutins (elf dance) (Bazzini), Eugene Martin.
Philadelphia Choir Sings the "Messiah"
An augmented choir of the Church of the Crucifixion, Philadelphia, Pa., presented Handel's "Messiah" on the evening of January 4th, under direction of William King. The soloists were Mme. Florence Cole Talbert, soprano; Marian Anderson, contralto; Junius Maxwell, tenor, and J. E. Jones, bass. Baynard Puggsley, of the Philadelphia American, writes as follows: "The great and very appreciative throng who came to lend an ear to the immortal Handel's soul-soothing masterpiece was amply remunerated. For so deep was their gratification and so profound their awesome approval that the mantle of restraint was burst asunder in a tumult of applause. Precision, rhythm, closest cooperation and snap were features most prominent in making the rendition most pleasing and inspiring. The singing of Mme. Florence Cole Talbert is worthy of especial mention. One cannot fail to catch the spirit of serious intent in her easy flowing soprano voice, that

carries with it always a tone of tender supplication; a voice that lulls, enraptures. "Our Own Marian," as Rev. Parks (pastor of Union Baptist Church, where the rendition was given) is pleased to call her—Miss Marian Anderson, contralto—occupied on the program a place no less important and in the hearts of the people a habitation not to be emulated. To listen to Miss Anderson is to be at ease. Aside from its richness, her voice has the smoothness of water, while her attitude, personality and bearing are wholly free from e'en the shadow of ostentation, self-consciousness or assumption."
Pupil of a Colored Teacher Wins Honor.
So many parents with children studying music think a music teacher of their own race is not deserving of support in the profession as teacher. The truth is that they are more deserving of support than teachers of another race, for the reason that blood interest is greater than that of mere color and financial returns. Native talent, too, counts largely in the final analysis. We make mention of this in connection with the honors of young McCabe, of Philadelphia, the 15-year-old winner of the Eisteddffod prize for violin solo recently. Two white lads were his competitors and the colored lad won out in the rendition of Legende, Op. 17, Wieniawski. Now, the teacher of this colored lad is a young colored man, by name Edwin Francis Hill, violin soloist and teacher, of Philadelphia, and the fact that his pupil won places the teaching of colored children by colored music teachers in a more enviable and interesting light, and, as well, gives to Hill. His deserving place in the galaxy of splendid colored musicians.
Noted Music Critic. Will Address Musicians.
Announcement has just been made of the next regular meeting of the Washington local of Negro Musicians to be held at Dunbar High School on Sunday afternoon, January 23rd, at 4 o'clock.

Miss MacBride, to the writer's mind, is among the most brilliant descriptive music writers and critics the country affords, and colored musicians will be given a very rare treat in hearing her address along the line of cooperation and organization. Go and crowd the building, ye music lovers and race musicians, and support Mrs. Gregoria Fraser Goins, the local president, in her noble effort to upbuild musical interest and unity. Mrs. G. Pelham will also conduct a chorus. The notice is sent out by John M. Johnson, local secretary.

There is no other industry for which a greater variety of fine timber must be seasoned more carefully than piano building. The varieties include Canadian spruce, American oak and whitewood, Honduras mahogany and best English beech. Sounding-boards are made of Swiss pine, the "ahies excelsa," which is nothing but the familiar Christmas tree. All this timber has to be seasoned in a special heating chamber, where it is subjected for days together to a powerful draft of dry air. It was not until more than half of the 18th century had passed that the piano became popular.
Wonder how will President Grant and the board of directors reconcile the Nashville factions in their fight for recognition with the association in their annual meeting this year? Prof. Johnson, who invited the association to meet at Nashville, is making a good fight of it, and Prof. John Work, with his "Fisk group," aided by Miss Alice Simmons, of Tuskegee, are placing peculiar interest upon the affair. It seems that the national association is a wheel within a wheel turning in opposite directions. So much jealousy and bitter factional fighting as now seems the case will surely wreck the association unless a stronger stand is taken at once for right and justice. We wish President Grant success in his administration:
