The Washington Bee Wins Great Victory VOL. XLI NO. 44 Cannot Segregate Colored Americans IMPORTANT DECISION BY SUPREME COURT. EVICTED PASSENGERS ARE AWARDED DAMAGES. A case of vital importance to the-colored people of the United States was decided last Thursday by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia when Chief Justice Walter McCoy ruled that the jim-crow law of Maryland, which makes it a crime for colored passengers to ride in the same part of a railroad train or electric car as white passengers, was unconstitutional and void as applied to interstate colored passengers. The court further held that a so-called "regulation" promulgated by a railway company, segregating white and colored passengers, was unenforceable, and directed a jury of twelve white men to return a verdict in favor of two colored men who had been evicted from a car of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway Company, because they had refused to occupy rear seats when directed to do so by the conductor. The evicted passengers were Frederick V. Brooks and William A. Waller, colored business men residing in Kenilworth, D. C. On August 6, 1917, they were evicted from an electric car of the W. B. & A. at Best Gate, Md. The car on which they were riding was moving between Annapolis and Naval Academy Junction, two points wholly within the State of Maryland, but the evicted colored men were riding on a ticket entitling them to transportation into this city. Railroad Must Pay $500 to Each. As a result of the eviction from the train, Brooks and Waller were compelled to spend the night in a partly enclosed station of the railway at Best Gate, and the exposure caused them to become lightly ill. slightly ill. Although no excessive force was used by the conductor in evicting them from the train, and although the actual damage and loss sustained by them was slight, the court ruled that the eviction was wrongful and illegal and directed the jury to award them such damages as the jury might think proper to compensate them for any actual loss, and for any physical pain and suffering, and for any mental anguish suffered by them as a result. mental anguish suffered by them as a result The jury, after half an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict against the railway company for $1,000, each plaintiff being awarded $500. O'Leary, Assistant District Attorney, was Counsel. Brooks and Waller were represented in the case by Attorneys James J. O'Leary and Raymond Neudecker, with offices in the Fendall Building, this city. Attorney Robert I. Miller was also of counsel for the plaintiffs. counsel for the plaintiffs. Mr. O'Leary, who is Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, argued the constitutional-law features of the case and procured the ruling that the jim-crow law of Maryland was unconstitutional as applied to interstate colored passengers, and the further ruling that the segregation "regulation" of the company was unenforceable, because it was unreasonable, not duly promulgated by the board of directors, and not duly filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission. state Commerce Commission. The railway company was represented by Attorneys Littlepage and Tolliver. and Tolliver. A former Senator of Maryland appeared as a witness for the railway and testified that there was a public sentiment in Maryland in favor of the segregation of white and colored passengers. He also testified that the Maryland jim-crow law was in force when Brooks and Waller were evicted. Far-reaching Effect of Decision. Because of the far-reaching effect of the decision and its importance from the standpoint of constitutional law, the case may be carried to the Federal Supreme Court. The effect of the decision is this: That State jim-crow laws are valid, if valid at all, only in the State enacting such law, and in such State only as applied to transportation entirely within the confines of such State. If a colored passenger buys a ticket in a jim-crow State for transportation to a city outside such State, he cannot be segregated under such State law. Likewise, if a colored passenger buys a ticket in another State for transportation into or through a jim-crow State, he cannot be segregated while traveling in such jim-crow State. Moreover, if he buys a ticket in one jim-crow State for transportation into or through another jim-crow State, he cannot be segregated under any State jim-crow law. Local Train Makes No Difference. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY. MRACH 26, 1921 THE NEW YORKER —Whose mastyr argument in the Brooks-Waller case resulted in the court decision that the Maryland Jim Crow law is unconstitutional as applied to interstate colored passengers. Mr. O'Leary, who has offices in the Fendall Building, is Assistant United States Attorney, D. C. He has represented the Government in many important prosecutions. that the interstate passenger is traveling on a local train between two points wholly within a jim-crow State is immaterial, and that even on such a journey on a local train a colored passenger cannot be segregated under any State jim-crow law. This very phase was presented in the Brooks-Waller case. Brooks and Waller were traveling from Annapolis, Md., to the District... The train from which they were evicted at Best Gate, Md., operated between Annapolis and Baltimore, two points wholly within the State of Maryland. At an intermediate point—namely, Naval Academy Junction—they were to change cars and take a through train to Washington. through train to Washington. Because of the fact that they were on a local train, the railway company's attorneys contended that such part of their journey was intrastate transportation. Defense Riddled by Plaintiff's Attorney. This contention of the defendant was riddled by Mr. O'Leary, who pointed out to the court that commerce takes on its character as either state or interstate from the very moment that the transportation commences; and that as Brooks and Waller were, from the moment they boarded the train at Annapolis, destined to Washington, interstate passengers until they reached their destination. ington, interstate passengers In support of his argument that the Maryland law was unconstitutional as applied to interstate colored passengers, Assistant District Attorney O'Leary reviewed the decision of the Federal Supreme Court from the earliest decision to the latest case and demonstrated the truth of the plaintiffs' contention by using the very cases relied on the railway company. upon by the railway company. The climax came when Attorney O'Leary exhibited to the court a certified copy of the tariff filed by the railway with the Interstate Commerce Commission, which showed by the defendant's own action in filing such tariff with the Interstate Commerce Commission that the railway was subject to such commission and that the transportation involved was interstate. Eloquent Plea to Jury Wins Verdict. Because of the fact that the plaintiffs had sustained no serious financial loss by reason of their eviction, the railway attorneys pleaded with the jury to award to them only one cent for damages. In his closing argument to the jury, which was composed entirely of white men (the railway having excluded the two colored jurors on the panel), Attorney O'Leary made an eloquent plea for the colored people which won the verdict of $1,000 damages. the colored people which won the verdict of "The railway company," said Mr. O'Leary, "seems to forget the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution; the company's attorneys seem to overlook that the slavery days are a nightmare of the past; they close their eyes to the fact that colored people are citizens of the United States; they fail to remember that colored people have bodies and souls, just like the whites, as well as minds that can suffer the pangs of mental anguish; they would have you minimize the damages because the plaintiffs are colored, although the Constitution and laws of the United States say that the colored and the white men stand equal before the law." He then pictured the colored people in their true light and demanded substantial damages. Case Attracted Much Attention. The importance of the case attracted a large crowd to the court room, many prominent colored people being present. The case opened last Monday afternoon. For three days the railway company vainly tried to get into evidence a "regulation" requiring conductors to segregate white and colored passengers. The plaintiffs' objections that the so-called "regulation" had not been signed by the board of directors and had not been promulgated in accordance with the interstate commerce law excluded it as a defense for the railway. The company then tried to prove as a defense that the plaintiffs were smoking and refused to occupy the smoking compartment. But Attorney O'Leary had this evidence as a defense stricken out, since the company had not specially pleaded this matter in reply to the complaint filed by Brooks and Waller. Government Official Testifies for Plaintiffs. After the conductor of the train who had evicted Brooks and Waller testified that they were smoking, Attorney O'Leary asked the conductor to describe the weather conditions on the night of the occurrence. The conductor said that it was thundering that night. When the defendant's witness had finished his testimony, Mr. O'Leary called as a witness an official from the Government Weather Bureau, who testified that the official records did not report any thundering that night. Another interesting phase occurred when Attorney O'Leary asked the defendant's attorneys to produce the report that the conductor had made of the occurrence on the train when Brooks and Waller were evicted. The railway's attorneys said that they could not produce it at once, because they thought it was in the railway office at Baltimore. Mr. O'Leary then closely questioned the conductor about his report, and finally the conductor admitted that the last place he saw the report was in the office of the attorneys for the railway. From the date of the verdict the defendant has five days in which to make a motion for a new trial, and in the event that such motion is overruled, may appeal the case to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. In case the Court of Appeals affirms the lower court, the railway may then seek to carry the case to the United States Supreme Court. As the matter now stands, however, colored people riding from the District of Columbia to points in, or through, States having segregation laws cannot be segregated under such State laws; and the same is true of interstate colored passengers coming into the District from points outside of Washington. operation. This plan carries cooperation into the place most needing it the local community. It also opens a channel for the expression of the growing desire among Southern white women to work out in daily life those standards of health, morality and justice which cannot be neglected for either race without imperiling the homes of both. WOMEN PLAN INTER-RACIAL COOPERATION. A plan for local cooperation between white and colored women has just been put out by the Continuation Committee of the recent Memphis conference of Southern white women. This committee, composed of members of all white churches in the South, the Y. W. C. A., and women's clubs, asks each general and national organization to authorize in its local societies a committee of three women on local inter-racial work. These committees are to confer with leading colored women of the community, and to direct their own societies in a study of local conditions as regards colored American housing, sanitation, and the needs of colored American women and children. They shall also lead their local organizations in a study of colored American contributions to literature, music, and art, that there may be a better understanding of the colored American's contribution to American life along these lines, so little known in the average Southern community. They are to cooperate with white and colored agencies for community betterment, uniting with the other local white women's committees and with the men's inter-racial committee, constituting in the latter a special committee on women's activities The State inter-racial committees now organized throughout the South are already open to women, as are the hundreds of county committees now if The achievement of inter-racial confidence and mutual good-will is the greatest opportunity now confronting the South, whether viewed from the industrial, the agricultural, or the religious standpoint. The accession of women to the ranks of the general, State, county and local inter-racial committees will hasten the accomplishment of this desired end. WORTHY OF PRAISE. WORTHY OF PRAISE.

Mrs. Minnie Powell, of Asbury M. E. QUESTION—"How soon shall I begin the musical education of my child?" Answer—"Begin now." In the early days of school music sight-reading was the only aim, but supervisors have long since learned that music must first be heard and then analyzed. They used to teach them the notes and the staff—bars and measures—in the first grade, but now this method can be found only in benighted places. We have come to recognize that a child must first hear real music before it should be asked to deal with facts about music. You surely would not shut your child up in a deaf and dumb asylum from its birth, and then, at five or seven years, hand him a primer and bid him read, when he has, never heard any spoken language. Then why expect him to enter joyfully upon a course of musical training without first having heard and made melody himself? The dim consciousness of the infant, long before it can grasp the meaning of language by sound, responds to the soothing influence of the soft lullaby crooned by its mother. The magic of the monotonous refrain quietes the infant and the cradle song is its first introduction to any form of art. A sense of rhythm is implanted in many, if not all, animals—horses, elephants, mice, all fall under its spell. Is it any wonder, then, that a child, rhythmic by nature, its ears should be as keenly attuned as the lower animals in its early years? Yet, not realizing this, with how many discords do we surround the child in the home from its infancy up? How little ear-training we give the child in every-day life! Loud voices, slamming doors, crashing dishes, and all the noisy confusion of the average home, probably sound as harsh to him as thunder to us. Later, we offer him rattles and tin horns; we speak to him in abrupt tones; we bring about in him a kind of mental deafness, and then when he starts his musical training, wonder why he has not a "good ear" for music. Most children can distinguish the primary colors, designate extremes of taste, and recognize certain dainties by their odor, their mothers having faithfully instructed along these lines. It would be no more difficult task to teach them the difference between consonance THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH. "The forward march of the world in all ages has been the search for truth, Freedom and happiness, both for the individual and collective man, depend on this discovery and realization. But this result is impossible to man unless he becomes an independent seeker. He should put aside blind imitations of ancestors. He must abandon the viewpoints of others, however long established, and seek to know for himself. This requires courage. It is difficult, but glorious. The free and untrained quest for truth is the light of genius in all times. The wilderness is full of those who adhere to set forms, ancient dogmas and ignorant prejudices. Attraction to the reality of truth is a flame that illumines. It sets in motion new vibrations, unfolds the virtues of religion and the laws of science and philosophy and discovers the mysteries of God and His creations. It is certain that our faith is very weak if it is supported only by the thoughts of others. The greatest gift to God is mind. It is this marvelous power which elevates man above the brute creation about him. If he does not use this power, by what-sign can he prove himself man? The hand, eye, and other organs of man have their uses. When man makes of himself an interrogation point, subjecting everything presented to him to a reasonable inquiry, he becomes astonished at his own growth. --- and dissonance. A simple melody could be learned as quickly as some of these foolish jingles we teach them, and then, when they reached the primary grade at school the first step toward an appreciation of good music would have been taken. Here is a suggestion or advice, if you please: Inaugurate in your own home, from the baby's birth, a campaign for beautiful tones, the soft voice and speech—not nasal twangs—then teach him the fundamental element of rhythm with his own body, a graceful walk, not a hop or skip. See to it that your child hears good music, be it vocal or instrumental, wind or string, talking machine or what not—it matters little, so long as he hears the best. Begin the musical education of your child now—in the home! Success or Failure in Music—Why? Why is it that one talented person, working to the limit with excellent opportunities, fails; and another person succeeds? Sometimes the reason can be traced to that something what some have called "inspiring idea." Call it what you will, an idal, or other term, you will find that ahead of almost every man or woman who has achieved greatness is a wonderful, illuminating idea. This is the bright light hovering over their careers and leading them on every moment of the day and night. Wagner had this; Gounod had it; Beethoven had it; just as Hugo, Napoleon and Lincoln—all were thrall to a dominant idea. The inspiring idea gives the worker a kind of necessary egotism which tells him that he can do things which he otherwise might be afraid to attempt. It is a well-known fact that ideas actually seem to give art workers unseemingly recuperative powers which, under ordinary circumstances, might seem well nigh impossible. If you have not the all-inspiring idea leading to a more or less definite goal, much of your work in music will be worthless indeed. Have you ever thought of that? Perhaps it is one of the reasons, and not the teacher, why you are not succeeding as you expected to succeed when you started your musical education. If he keeps an unbiased mind his horizon will widen. He will find that truth is one essence or reality. Although it presents many aspects, in its identity it is one, as God is one. All things are contained in all things and related to all things. Reality is indivisible and therefore single, not multiple. The essence of truth is universal. Not many moons ago a noted man was heard to state, very dogmatically, the basis of his own faith and the thing which in his opinion made it superior to all others. Now it so happened that the dogma which he selected for this purpose was a blind superstition, without any scientific or common-sense basis. He was even mistaken in the assumption that his own faith was the only one which relies on the said superstition. Inquiry makes it appear that the ancient Egyptians, thousands of years B. C., adhered to the same belief. Thus in one breath this good man proved himself an alien to science as also to the comparative study of religions. We omit the statement of this dogma here because it is one to which many people blindly and unthinkingly adhere. Our purpose here being educational rather than controversial; we do not wish to shock, but rather to encourage study and discovery. A man may be able in his own limited sphere to lord it over the masses for a long time. But if he has no universal vision of truth what capacity has he to help mankind to attain unity and freedom?

It is just this attitude of bigotry and pride which time out of mind has divided the realm of humanity into a multitude of warring sects, belying the spirit of true religion and cursing and anathamatizing those whom they should love. Truth is the light of God in the world, and God is love. All the Holy Messengers of God, throughout cycles and ages, have declared and established truth. For this noble purpose Jesus Christ and all the others have come to earth, lived in the temples of men, suffered affliction, pain and martyrdom, to train and educate mankind. Their real purpose was not to glorify themselves or have humanity praise them, but to free humanity from blind imitations, savage forms, unreasonable dogmas and ignorant prejudices. These things continually cause divisions, hatred and warfare and by them humanity has never been blessed. A devotee of truth avoids contention. The follower of light seeks peace for his fellow beings. He has been vivified by the spirit of truth who comes today to guide humanity into all truth. He has found the mystery of truth reflected in his own being. He has turned to the great universal sun of truth, the creative word, which brightens and cheers all the world of existence. No one who sees the sun can be misled by a torch or a candle. Yet he is tolerant to his fellow men since at all times he sees the relation of the part to the whole. Once upon a time, the story runs, six blind men went to see an elephant One, touching the head of the elephant said he was like a ball; another, his leg, thought him like a tree; another his snout, declared him like a snake; another, his tail, likened him to a rope; another, his ear, spoke of him as a fan; another, his side, insisted that the elephant was like a wall. As they were all blind, they quarreled over their various opinions, each adhering to his own with the greatest rancor and obstinacy. They abused and denounced each other and at last fought. Each partly right, but all generally wrong, the educational effect of considering other opinions than their own was entirely lost. Happy is the man who in this day, when there are so many clashing creeds, can see the whole elephant! "Leave them to amuse themselves with their vain discourse!" Seek reality! See the ray of truth in all, but do not let the mind and heart be confined by the imaginations of men! The mind that is universal is a true-emanation from Divinity. The same God gives good gifts to all his children. The same vital truth has been declared in all religions. It is the hidden mystery of truth, the Divine Love, which is the cause of all existence! The outward laws of revelations are in accordance with the needs of humanity in each cycle and age. Because men are forgetful and negligent the Divine Mercy in each cycle decrees the renewal of the spirit of religion as a favor to man. It is the appearance of this wordly splendor which rendes the veils of superstition and ignorance and reveals the light of assurance and life.

GARFIELD NEWS. An unusual interest is being manifested in the Sunday School of the Allen A. M. E. Church, especially on the Easter program. The Easter exercises will be conducted by Miss Myrtle Kerrick. Rev. J. C. Malcom, of Washington, D. C., preached at the 11 a.m. service and impressed the large congregation very much, his subject being "Giving." At 3.30, Rev. W. H. Manokoo, pastor of the Campbell A. M. E. Church, preached a very able sermon to a large congregation. The services were in the interest of Mrs. L. Keene's Club. Many of his members took advantage of the beautiful day and came, to the Allen A. M. E. Church, where they spent a pleasant evening. Mrs. Oscar Diggs, of Santon, D. C., and one of the oldest members of the Allen A. M. E. Church, is very ill, but it is hoped she may have a speedy recovery and be able to be out in the near future. At 8 p. m., Rev. Clayton Mason, of Anacostia, D. C., preached a wonderful sermon to a full house, and the congregation was much pleased to have him with them. His subject was "The Book of Seven Seals." PASTOR OF FIRST BAFIST CHURCH VISITS LAKELAND Lakeland, Md.-The Emery A. M. E. Chapel was favored with the pastor of the First Baptist Church and part of his congregation. The pastor delivered a very able sermon. A much needed lesson was the words of the text, "Do Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humble in the Sight of God."

"Pure Americanism" is the way the English newspapers are describing the attitude President Harding has adopted toward the league of nations farce. I wish the world was full of Americanism on the lines of letting other people alone. There is one thing in which I feel the country is making a mistake, and that is her attitude toward the darker races of men—and especially the Japanese. Perhaps your President may make amends for injustices done in the past, and may yet extend a friendly commercial hand toward Japan and thereby encourage the Japanese to free themselves from these dangerous European caucuses—from which he knows to fight shy and be free. In my opinion every move will now be made to make trouble between the Americans and the Japanese, and eventually plunge the American people into a great war by some novel tactics or other, just because she refuses to join the hoggish caucus and wishes to remain at peace with all the world—live and let live. I know how the dirty work is done by this European clique of blood-sucking world-wide marauders. now on his way to England, will have a very strenuous time during his sojourn on this hospitable trip. A state banquet is to be given at Buckingham Palace next month in his honor, and this will be the largest gathering of its kind that has taken place for some time. Another dinner to the Japanese visitor will be given by the government either at Lancaster House or the private residence of Earl Curzon, on Carlton House Terrace. Thus you see England begin to plan to take Japan into her hospitable shores. The rest may be easily guessed! I am now thinking of Indo-British friendship, African treaties, and Egyptian alliances, and a few others, to see if I can remember or can find on record where England ever benefited any of these darker races except in name. I can not remember one single instance, and her "hospitable record" is before me and ever since she began to make treaties and give banquets to the so-called savage and darker tribes of men. She took care we got no feasting in her hospitable England beyond banqueting us on our own plundered products. Our eyes are fully open to English hospitality. So hospitable are they toward colored people that not even British-born colored boys are allowed to join the Royal Navy. Will some reader tell me if America refuses to take colored boys into her Navy? I want more light! In unity there is strength, and when I see these gigantic political moves made to separate us and to form big combines against us—even in our very own native lands. It makes me feel that there is great cause to make us unite and stand firmly together as one man. I am a race man, and I am all out for the race's unity, prosperity, and educational progress and expansion. Write me and let me know what you are doing. A 2-cent stamp will fetch the news.

THE BROOKS-WALLER DECEMBER The Bee rejoices with all colors rendered last Thursday by the Succumbia in the case of Brooks OKS-WALLER DECISION-AN EPOCH CASE. rejoices with all colored Americans overst Thursday by the Supreme Court of the THE BROOKS-WALLER DECISION—AN EPOCH-MAKING CASE. The Bee rejoices with all colored Americans over the decision rendered last Thursday by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in the case of Brooks and Waller vs. the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway Company, holding that State jim-crow laws are unconstitutional and void as applied to interstate passengers, even though part of their journey is made on a local train between two points entirely within the confines of a jim-crow State. The vital importance of this epoch-making case will be readily appreciated when the reader understands the exact facts of the case, the issues presented, the precise points decided, the principle underlying such decision, as well as the scope and extent, on the one hand, and the limitations, on the other, of the ruling made by Chief Justice Walter McCov. The facts of the case were these: Frederick Brooks and William Waller, colored business men of Washington, on August 6, 1917, here in Washington purchased round-trip tickets on the W. B. & A. to Annapolis, Md., and return. Nothing occurred on the trip from Washington to Annapolis. But the train which they boarded at Annapolis, in returning to this city, was a local train, operating between Annapolis and Baltimore, two cities entirely within the State of Maryland. At an intermediate point—namely, Naval Academy Junction—they were to leave the local train and take a through train to this city. While they were on the local train and before they reached Naval Academy Junction, the conductor ordered them to take rear seats in accordance with the Maryland jim-crow law and the "regulations" of the railway. The State jim-crow law, providing for the segregation of white and colored passengers, makes it a crime for any colored passenger to refuse to take a rear seat when directed so to do by the conductor of any railroad or electric train; and the "regulations" of the company instructed the conductors to evict any passenger who declined to comply with this segregation requirement. Brooks, and Waller, upon entering the train, had taken front seats. The conductor ordered them to take rear seats. This they refused to do. The conductor then ordered them off the train. In so doing he laid his hands upon them but did not injure them. The train was then stopped at a little station known as Best Gate, Md., and there Brooks and Waller were evicted and left in the darkness of the night. The station at Best Gate is a three-sided structure or shed and unlighted. Unable to secure accommodations, Brooks and Waller were compelled to spend the night in the station or shed. Both became slightly ill as a result and sued the railway company for damages. The principal defense of the company was that it was authorized and required to evict them under the Maryland jim-crow law and under the "regulations" of the company. James J. O'Leary, Assistant District Attorney, who argued the case for Brooks and Waller, contended that the State jim-crow law was void as applied to Brooks and Waller, on the ground that they were interstate passengers although on a local train, and that the "regulations" of the company could not be relied upon for the reasons (1) that the so-called regulations" were not, as a matter of law, regulations in the technical sense; (2) that, even if technically "regulations," they were void because based on a void law; (3) that the alleged "regulations" were never duly promulgated by the Board One year, in advance.

May they evre find friends like air struggles toward the light" ISION—AN EPOCH-MAKING SE. red Americans over the decision of Directors of the company; (4) that the alleged "regulations" were unreasonable and discriminatory; (5) that the alleged "regulations" were not promulgated as interstate regulations, and (6) that the alleged "regulations" had never been duly filed with and approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission. After a trial of four days' duration, Chief Justice McCoy ruled that the State jim-crow law was unconstitutional as applied to Brooks and Waller, since they were interstate passengers, and that the company could not rely upon its "regulations" for the reasons presented by Attorney O'Leary. Whereupon Mr. O'Leary moved the court to instruct the jury to return a verdict for the plaintiffs. The motion was granted, and a jury, composed of twelve white men, was directed by the court to return a verdict in favor of Brooks and Waller. Following a half hour's deliberation, the jury returned a verdict against the company for $1,000, awarding $500 each to Brooks and Waller. The principle upon which the decision was based—namely, that no State jim-crow law is valid as applied to an interstate passenger, and that a passenger is interstate even though riding on a local train, if he is on a journey to a point outside the State—applies equally to all the jim-crow laws. And the further ruling that the company could not rely upon its "regulation" applies with equal force to similar "regulations" of all railroads and railways. The decision is thus national in its scope as well as vital in its importance. The limitations of the decision should, however, be borne in mind. The court was not called upon to decide whether an interstate segregation regulation, duly promulgated by the Board of Directors under the interstate commerce law, filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission and approved by such commission as reasonable and non-discriminatory, was valid or not. The case never reached that stage, for the reason that the so-called "regulations" were knocked out on technical grounds. Hence this phase of the matter was not determined. As Attorney O'Leary said in his argument, the substance of which is printed elsewhere in The Bee, "that is an entirely different question which we will answer when we come to a case presenting it. When such a case is presented we will be ready with our answer." There is another significant feature of the Brooks-Waller case that should not escape notice, namely, the measure of damages awarded to the plaintiffs. The railway company contended that, since the plaintiffs had sustained no serious physical injury or substantial financial loss, the jury should award them not more than one cent by way of damages. It was in reply to this argument of the railway company that Attorney O'Leary made the eloquent plea that won for Brooks and Waller a thousand dollars damages. Said he: "The railway company seems to forget the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution; the company's attorneys seem to overlook that the slavery days, wiped out by the blood of white men and colored men, are but a nightmare of the past; they close their eyes to the fact that colored people are citizens of the United States and citizens of the several States of the Union; they fail to remember that colored people have bodies and souls, just like the whites, as well as minds that suffer the pangs of mental anguish; they would have you minimize the damages because the plaintiffs are colored, although the Constitution and laws of the United States declare that the colored and the white man stand equal before the law. By that vow, which you, as jurors, have registered in heaven, to render a just verdict, I demand substantial damages for my clients." And the twelve white jurors did return a verdict for substantial damages. Because of the vital importance of the decision and its far-reaching effect, it is reported that the railway will seek to carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. Let the railway company do so. With law and justice on our side, and championed by the "little giant" of the American bar, James J. O'Leary, we colored Americans are ready to fight the case out in the highest court in the land. In conclusion, The Bee wishes to express its congratulations to Messrs. Brooks and Waller and, in the name of the colored Americans, to voice its thanks and gratitude to Attorney O'Leary and his able associates, Attorneys Robert I. Miller and Raymond Neudecker. The Bee regrets that it could not meet the demand of its many patrons for the inaugural issues of the paper. It regrets also that they could not be supplied with the historic numbers of January 8 and January 15. The demand is so great for the latter two copies that The Bee is devising plans by means of which they may be supplied. The women of the country lay the responsibility for the chaotic condition in the rank and file of Republican women throughout the country to the "mysterious meeting" of the self-styled State leaders which was held in this city on March 3. It is up to the president of this organization to change these conditions, if she is not a party to them. A president of a great organization as one working for the people must work with the people and not with any particular faction in order to insure not only the success of the organization, but her own success. The Bee wishes to thank its friends on Africa's sunny shores—Bishop and Mrs. Fannie M. Claire—for the kind words of sympathy expressed by them and just recently received in its recent bereavement—the death of its late editor. The message was sent from Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa, where these heroic people are working in the Lord's vineyard. THE LITTLE GIANT OF THE AMERICAN BAR Sketch of James J. O'Leary, Attorney of Washington, Who Championed Colored Americans in the Brooks- Waller Case. The Bee realizes that its readers will want to know something about Attorney James J. O'Leary, who championed the colored Americans in the Brooks- Waller case, and whose legal attainments, logical argument to the court, and eloquent plea to the jury won for us this epoch-making case. Attorney O'Leary, or "Jim" O'Leary, "the little giant of the American bar," as he is familiarly known around the courthouse, is 35 years old, married, a resident of Washington, with offices in the Fendall Building, opposite the courthouse. He is, and for several years past has been, Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, in charge of prosecutions in Criminal Court No. 2. He is a member of the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States and one of the leading attorneys as well as a most eloquent advocate before juries. He is the head of the O'Leary Law School, and was formerly lecturer at National University Law School. He was honor graduate at Georgetown University Law School in 1911, winning first prize in his class and attaining a general average in his law studies of over 97 per cent, one of the highest law-school averages on record. For several years he was connected with the Interstate Commerce Commission, during part of which time he was associated with ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk, chief counsel of that commission. While there he assisted Governor Folk in the handling of some of the most important cases in which orders of the commission were contested in court. Later he was engaged in legal work at the Department of Justice. He has practiced before the courts here since 1911. Represented Government in Many Cases. Since his appointment as Assistant District Attorney, Mr. O'Leary has represented the Government in a large percentage of the important prosecutions here in the last several years. It was he who appeared for the Government in the much-talked-of Brookland Murder Mystery Case, which resulted in the hanging of Frank Bowman for the killing of a cripple in Lords' Woods, northeast. The case depended, almost entirely upon circumstantial evidence. He it was who conducted the celebrated Car Strike Cases, arising from the street railway strike in this city in 1917. He appeared for the Government in the Charles Price murder case. Price is now under sentence to be hanged. Pedestrians of the District will recall that it was Mr. O'Leary who conducted the prosecutions of reckless automobile operators whose recklessness caused death. In this difficult line of work he has made a national reputation. A number of reckless auto operators are now serving sentences for manslaughter as a result of Mr. O'Leary's prosecutions. A Humane Prosecutor. Although a vigorous prosecutor, Mr. O'Leary is a humane one.. He has often said, "I pray God that I may never forget the presumption of innocence and that I may never convict an innocent man. I had rather that a thousand guilty men go free than that one be innocently convicted." His humanity has manifested itself in numerous striking ways. It will be remembered that after he had convicted Josephine Berry, a colored woman, of first-degree murder, for which she was sentenced to be hanged, Mr. O'Leary recommended that her sentence be commuted. This was done. Court attaches also recall his attitude in the "Red" Cooper murder case. After convicting Cooper of murder, Mr. O'Leary, upon discovering some additional facts tending to cast a doubt on the defendant's guilt, recommended to the court that the verdict of guilty be set aside. This was done by Justice Siddons, and later Cooper was set free. A Clever Cross-examiner. Besides being an eloquent advocate before juries, Attorney O'Leary is a clever cross-examiner. Probably one of the most celebrated murder cases in the local courts in recent years was that against Philip Shirley Cockrell, charged with killing his wife by beating her to death with an iron bar. The readers of The Bee will recollect that the principal defense was insanity and that many experts testified that the defendant was insane. Attorney O'Leary's cross-examination of the experts made of them witnesses for the Government, with the result that Mr. O'Leary convicted the defendant without calling a single insanity witness for the prosecution. Another important murder case, which is set for trial March 28, is that against John Raymond Allen, charged with murdering his sweetheart because she broke their engagement. Mr. O'Lcary will conduct the prosecution in this case. BAPTIST MINISTERS. The Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity, Dr. M. W. D. Norman, president; Dr. J. I. Loving, secretary, held a very interesting meeting Monday at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Rev. J. W. Bird, of Virginia; Madam Elizabeth Tolston, Rev. Richard Watts, Rev. B. J. Westry, of Pittsburgh, Pa., and Prophetess Elizabeth, of Florida, were introduced and made short addresses to the conference. The conference decided to cooperate with Dr. H. Powell, pastor of the Liberty Baptist Church, in entertaining the Virginia Baptist Sfate Convention which meets in this city on the 11th of May in the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Dr. J. E. Willis, pastor. Prudent spending is Wisdom's savings. CHESTER BROOK NEWS. Mrs. Cora Seals and her daughter, Mrs. Della Jones, of New York, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Reason Johnson.

AGNESVILLE, VA. Mrs. Mollie Henderson, of Agnesville, Va., a member of the Ebenezar Baptist Church at Occoquan, member of the Ideal Society of Agnesville, Va., died at her residence February 24, after a long illness. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband and seven children, a mother, Mrs. Eliza Taylor, of Woodbridge, Va., four brothers and two sisters. The funeral service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. F. E. Pree in a few well-chosen words, that served as bandages to bind the broken hearts. She traveled the journey before us; She has known all the cost of the way. She paid out the price to the fullness That only a mother can pay. We have quite a number on the sick list in the community at this writing, but are glad to report that Mr. Wesley Chinn is much improved in health, and Mr. Milton Chinn is also feeling better. Our public school here is making a good showing under its competent teacher, Miss E. Porter, of Deanwood. Mr. Joseph Chinn visited his parents here on Sunday. Mr. Lewis Williams and Mrs. Mayme West also joined the-family circle of Mrs. Annie Chinn. Mrs. E. E. Chinn was a visitor at the home of Miss Carrie M. Golden in Fredericksburg on Sunday, spending a very pleasant day. Miss Golden is one of Fredericksburg's most accomplished teachers and is having grand success there. The Cause of Gout Rheumatism According to medical men such as Garrod, Minkowski, Hans, Vogt and Reach, the cause of gout is due to an excessive accumulation of uric acid in the blood. The same effect happens in rheumatism. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, when your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; when you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, ask your drugstom for An-uric. (anti-uric acid) tablets; or send Dr. Pierce, Invalida' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. $^{10c}$ for trial package. Anuric is more potent than lithia. E. L.

Following this occur- rence I: made a tour of the section of, Connecticut avenue and Mt. Pleasant. In these sections the violation of the law was flagrant: “Cars parked with no lights, cars operated with one front. light and in some cases with no lights. Why--are not the police. in- structed to visit this section. and es- cort the ownars and operators to the police -station? We would like to have a square deal. ii this respect.

Especially is this true of all the darker races, who are more and more coming to have common cause on all these great issues. -which are vital to the well-being and uplift of hu- manity the world over. The. unprece- ‘dented upheaval brought about by the great war has brought.to the surface many elements that were dormant and obscure. These elements, in the main at least, have come to stay, and. the powers that be must reckon with them in the solution of the many problems that are before the world today.
