A motion to this effect was made by Harry L. Tignor. Following a series of eulogies by five of Mr. Moss' associates, Judge Harrison paid tribute to the man who had been regarded as a land mark of the District Courts. "He was a man out of the ordinary and a man of notable events," the judge stated. Other tributes were paid by R. A. Hughes, E. M. Hewlett, H. L. Tignor, C. S. Williams and J. M. Ricks. COLORED AMERICAN WOMAN IS MADE RICHEST IN U. S. Mrs. Lillie Taylor, of New Orleans, La., is probably the richest colored American woman in the United States as a result of the decision handed down by the State Supreme Court in the suit of Lillie G. Taylor vs. Angelina Allen, State of Louisiana, and George West, decreeing her to be the rightful owner of a big tract of land in the southwest section of Claiborne Parish, enormously rich in oil and gas deposits, and the value of which now reaches into the millions. While the suit was dragging in the courts the value of the land its products of oil and gas grew steadily up into the millions. It has been rumored that the attorneys for Lillie Taylor are to receive a fee of upward of $450,000 for the services rendered. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE-ATLANTA BRANCH. Atlanta—City of Activities and Achievements—is tackling the task of entertaining in August the 1921 session of the National Negro Business League and of making it the greatest session ever held in point of attendance, interest and real worth. The local league, conscious of the reputation held by the city for the efficient handling and entertainment of conventions and gatherings of all kinds is determined to surpass the record already established. Accordingly, one of the many unique features this year will be an "Industrial Exhibit," in which the general industrial, scientific, educational and economic development of our people will be presented. Products from the home, farm, school, store, shop and factory will be exhibited in specially constructed uniform booths, and the hope of the local league is that many of the addresses during the session will be based upon and illustrated by these practical exhibits. Exhibits will be housed in a building already secured and the booths --- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1921 will be made of simple board frames. Expert decorators will be on hand at the time of the arrangement of the booths for any decoration desired by the exhibitor. This is not a commercial nor a money making attraction and there will be no fees charged the exhibitor other than for the actual cost of the construction of the booth and for the necessary insurance and police protection to the exhibits. Individuals, groups, schools and organizations of every kind can be represented on this occasion and they are cordially invited to participate therein. As the space is necessarily limited, although the largest building available has been secured, and as this invitation goes to all our people everywhere, prompt action in reserving space is expedient. The Atlanta committee has requested that Mr. A. L. Holsey, of Tuskegee Institute, be detailed to serve as the official representative of the National Organization on this committee. Officers and friends of the league are cordially invited to cooperate with us in making this a truly epochal event. FIELD DAY AT UPPER MARL BOROUGH. The field day at Upper Marlborough, Md., on May 8, was a great success. The crowd numbered in the thousands. The cloudy and occasional showers interfered with the program somewhat, but the pupils of the various schools played with vim. Collington school, better known on the athletic field as Michelville No. 2, proved to be the champions of the day and captured the first prize. They also went on record as being the best costumed team on the athletic field. The teacher of that group, Mrs. Mollie Mercer Thomas, was highly honored and received much praise. Hurrah for Collington. MR ALEX H BROOKS APPOINTED NOTARY PUBLIC President Harding has reappointed Mr. Alex. H. Brooks a Notary Public for the District of Columbia.

Declare They Are Denied Equal Legal Protection in Georgia. Charges that the colored American is denied equal protection in the courts of Georgia and that the legal processes of the State courts are used to deprive colored Americans of their property were made in a brief filed in the Supreme Court today. The brief was filed by J. E. Sistrunk, a Negro attorney of Atlanta, Ga., who represented himself as acting for several complainants of the same race in suits involving real estate valued at about $150,000. The property was described as tracts in the city of Atlanta and valued farms nearby. The brief accompanied petitions for review of the records in the case of J. S. Sistrunk vs. Parilee Hunt and George Spivy, Albert Ford vs. Georgia Loan and Trust Company, O. B. Stevens and others vs. A. S. Elders and Sistrunk, Ann Butler and others vs. Southern Railway. Charge Race Prejudice. Declaring that during the past eighteen years he had occasion to bring "several cases of action in the Supreme Court of the Atlanta circuit," Sistrunk asserted that "in every case petitioner has been denied the benefit of the process of law and denied the right of property, without the due process of law." The brief continued: "Petitioner and those he represents are people of color, and prejudice prevails in said State against the colored race as citizens * * * and the petitioner is deprived of his rights guaranteed him under the laws of the U. S. and the State of Georgia, on account of race, color and previous conditions of servitude, * * * and in every case has been deprived of the right of a trial by jury. "The defendants named in the cases presented in the proceedings issued criminal warrants against petitioner as a means of intimidation, secured the arrest and indictment of petitioner for so proceeding, causing petitioner to be held in jail an unreasonable length of time, to punish him into submission to their demands in holding the said estate and enriching themselves without lawful right." Fear not this monster my lad. He can be tamed by law. Mob Lynching Harding The new opponent U. S. MARINES SHOOT UP ST. THOMAS, V. I. St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, April 17.—(Delayed)—Many civilians were assaulted on the street and one or two badly beaten by U. S. Marines last week. The rioting occurred about 8 o'clock and followed the alleged attempt of a white marine to assault Mrs. David Samuels while she was THREE ARE NAMED FOR SCHOOL BOARD Mr. Graham and Mrs. Rhodes Reappointed Houston to Succeed Peyton. Edwin C. Graham and Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, members of the board of education, were reappointed to that body for a term of three years, beginning July 1, by the justices of the District Suprême Court today. Their present terms on the board expire June 30. Simultaneously, the justices appointed William L. Houston, colored attorney, as a member of the board, to succeed Fountain Peyton, whose term also expires June 30. When informed of his appointment by The Star, Mr. Houston said he would accept the office. Will Continue Service. Mr. Graham, who has been a member of the school governing body since last October, when he succeeded Dr. Charles P. Neill, also indicated that he would accept the office, but intimated that he may be unable to serve the full term of three years, due to his business affairs. Mrs. Rhodes, who has been a member of the board since about 1909, is expected to accept the office for another term. Mr. Houston, who will begin his first term on the board in July, is said to be an attorney for Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools. Mr. Peyton, whom he will succeed July 1, is one of Mr. Bruce's critics and has advocated his removal from office. Mr. Houston is a graduate of Howard University, having received his doctor of law's decree there in 1892. He was educated in Evansville, Ill., and has been a member of the District Supreme Court bar for about 29 years. He was for four years national grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America, and is national secretary of the Supreme Order of Helpers. He also drawing water from a well. Mrs. Samuel beat off the intruder and a fight was started. Police were quickly summoned and the marines marched off to the barracks. Somewhere after 10 o'clock the same night, marines left the barracks again armed with bayonets, rifles, billies, severely beating up Mr. and Mrs. Samuels, shot up the home of M. Giminez and fired guns and revolvers indiscriminately. Local newspapers uttered protests and the marine commandered ordered a court of inquiry. is a professor at Howard University. The reappointment of Mr. Graham and Mrs. Rhodes to the board did not come as a surprise to persons in close touch with public school affairs. The appointment of Mr. Houston, however, surprised many school officials and others. TROTTER SAYS COLOR DISCRIMINATION IS ON THE DECREASE. Chicago, May 10.—William Monroe Trotter, editor of The Boston Guardian and Secretary of the National Equal Rights League, reached Chicago on Friday from his speaking tour to the Pacific coast. He was in good fighting trim, with addresses to make at two Chicago churches before he went back into Iowa to fill engagements and pursue a civil rights case at Oskaloosa, where he and his manager were refused a meal. Mr./Trotter said that for the States of Iowa, Kansas, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska, he had found the colored people very well satisfied with conditions. SEGREGATION SIGNS ARE TAKEN DOWN AT CAPITAL Colonel Henry Lincoln Johnson states that in accordance with the campaign pledges that all segregation signs in the various departments would be taken down before sundown on March 4. He asked for special representatives to bestir themselves and locate some of the said signs. After a long and faithful look, it was discovered that the Democrats evidently smelled a rat, for the specials returned without finding a sign anywhere. There are no segregation signs in Washington under the new administration. A SQUARE DEAL. Any man who is good enough to shed blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. No man is entitled to more and no man should receive less.— Roosevelt. FARMERS' AND MINISTERS' CONFERENCE AT HAMPTON (Special to The Bee.)

Va., May 10.—Over a million dollars, to be to be exact; $1,206,216.46, was the total of the appropriations made by the West Virginia legislature before its adjournment last week; for the creation and support during the next two fiscal years, beginning July 1 next, of colored agencies and institutions, educational, celentary and corrective. Of this amount approximately one-third goes to the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, which receives for salaries, buildings, and current and other expenses $455,272.46. For the same purposes the Bluefield Colored Institute has placed to its credit $133,644, and Storer College, a private school, $6,000. The newly created institutions fared equally as well, the hospital for insane getting $150,00 for buildings and land and $30,000 for current general expenses. The industrial school for boys was allowed $150,000 for buildings and land, and a similar home for girls, $50,000. Including the insurance derived from the burning of the Colored Orphan's Home, that institution is to receive for rebuilding $126,000, the tuberculosis sanitarium gets $52,500, and the deaf and blind school gets $30,000. Other appropriations were: Bureau of welfare for colored people and statistics, $12,200; supervisor of colored schools, $5,400; advisory council to the state board of education, $5,200. The State has already bought a 650-acre farm of rich bottom land as a site for the hospital for the insane, and negotiations are pending for a location for the deaf and blind school school. The erection of buildings for both these establishments probably will be begun in the near future. Sites for the school for incorrigible boys and the home for wayward girls are to be selected by the advisory council, cooperating with the State board of control. When these are completed the State will have eight institutions for and under the management of colored Americans. OCCOQUAN (VA.)

POST GRADUATE COURSE IN MEDICINE AND SURGERY The First Post Graduate Course in Medicine and Surgery for the Colored Americans in the South came to a close at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, at 12 m., Saturday, April 30, 1921. The month of April has been a very eventful one for the Tuskegee Institute. Among the occasions have been the tenth annual clinic, the meetings of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society and the Alabama State Medical Association, and the launching of the Post Graduate Course in medicine and surgery at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital. These events have brought together one of the most notable assemblages of physicians, both white and colored, that has occurred. The meeting has developed that there are white physicians who are willing and anxious to help improve the standing and professional ability of the colored doctors. Many of the best physicians of Tuskegee, Montgomery, Birmingham, Atlanta, Opelika, as well as many distant cities have given lectures, demonstrations, and operations. Among the colored physicians and surgeons who directed the course or lectured or operated are the following: Dr. U. G. Dailey, Chicago, Ill.; Dr. John A. Kenney, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Dr. H. F. Gamble, Charleston, W. Va.; Dr. H. M. Green, Knoxville, Tenn.; Dr. John E. Hunter, Lexington, Ky.; Dr. John W. Walker, Asheville, N. C.; Dr. J. A. Robinson, Darlington, S. C.; Dr. H. Reginald Smith and Dr. F. W. Willis, of Chicago, Ill.; Dr. A. R. Burton, Philadelphia; Dr. R. B. Stewart, Washington, D. C.; Dr. H. C. Bryant, Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. R. T. Adair, Montgomery, Ala.; Dr. C. V. Roman, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. John P. Turner and Dr. W. H. Barnes, Philadelphia; Dr. C. H. Wilson, Montgomery, Ala.; Dr. U. C. Vincent, New York City; Dr. I. L. Scruggs, Dr. E. H. Dibble, Jr., and Dr. Frank P. Saunders, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; and Dr. C. S. Giscombe and Dr. A. M. Brown, of Birmingham, Ala. We believe that this coming together of the white and colored physicians in the launching of this post graduate course means that a distinctly new epoch is established in Colored American Medical Education. Editor The Bee: Just to show that the colored men are not the worst beings on earth, but are unfaltering imitators of their superior(?) white brethren, we place here before your many readers the dastardly doings of three young "white gents" of the Nation's Capital, as reported by the white press. Why place reports of crime on separate pages when the same crimes are committed by separate races? Does it look too much like social equality in committing crimes? Maybe so. But let us read what was printed on the "second page" of The Washington Post, under date of the 5th instant. The head lines read thus: Police Accuse J. T. Walker and Two Other Men of Injuring (not raping) Miss Naomi F. Bond. Was Lured Into An Auto. Accepting Offer of Ride Home She is Beaten in Making Escape. Police Rescuer Also Hurt. After a city-wide search lasting practically the entire day, Detective Sergeants Scrivener and Kelly arrested last night one of a trio of young men (not colored) who are alleged to have badly beaten Miss Naomi Florence Bond, 25 years old, of 2305 Eighteenth street northwest, at Sixteenth street and Columbia Road northwest, early yesterday morning. Joseph T. Walker, a chauffeur, 24 years old, of 3242 P street northwest, was the man arrested. He is said to have implicated two youths for whom the police are searching. Inspector Grant, after talking to Walker, set in motion the entire detective force to apprehend the other two men. The attack was termed by Inspector Grant "one of the most brutal and unprovoked" that has come to his attention recently. Speeds Past Her Home. The attack on Miss Bond came after she had accepted the proposal of three young men in a high-powered car to take her home. She was waiting for a car at Seventh and G streets northwest, at 2 o'clock in the morning, when the young men drove up and made the offer. When the automobile sped out Sixteenth street past her home, Miss Bond remonstrated, and attempted to jump from the machine. One of the trio grabbed her and held her in the car and the driver slowed up his car to assist, the police say. When the car had nearly come to a stop, however, Miss Bond leaped out. She was followed by one of the young men. In the full glare of an electric lamp at Sixteenth street and Columbia Road the youth overtook Miss Bond, hurled her down and struck her several times in the face. Awakened by her screams, several residents of the neighborhood hurried o Miss Bond's aid, but before their arrival the car sped away. Police Also Injured. Policeman C. W. Waddell, of the Tenth precinct, heard Miss Bond's screams, and he managed to jump on the running board of the machine. He was knocked off and injured about his arms and legs. Miss Bond was assisted to her home by her neighbors. Her clothing was torn and her face showed bruises where she had been struck. I have given you the news, taken verbatim, from The Washington Post, under date of the 5th inst. "Thar now! Thar you are!" But why not call a spade a spade? It matters not who handles it. And why not call a rape a rape? It matters not who commits it. The proof of the last paragraph in the Post's report would be sufficient to hang any colored American in the District of Columbia, and all of the colored people in the State of Georgia or Mississippi, if the victim were a "white" woman. Why are there not any justice, before the courts in this country? Some men, because they happen to be white, trample the laws under their feet, and they do it, too, with impunity. SOLVING THE RACE PROBLEM It is a glowing sight to see the old chivalrous sentiment of the Southern people reassert itself in the recognition that the race problem cannot be solved by mob-power, mind-power nor shame-power. It may only be solved by heart-power. White men everywhere are beginning to realize that what is sacred in their persons is sacred in the black man's also. They see the black giant stand in the labor market, piling the mound of wealth. They saw him stand in the storm of shells, and, looking down in the grace where the Legion's dead are mingled, they feel the surge of a strange thought—the black American, in the hour of glorious death is at last "flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone!" That thought, expanding, radiating, fructifying kindred thoughts, will solve the race problem slowly, perhaps, but as surely as the stars are in their courses. Even now we white men are looking closer at the story of the colored American, and see ourselves living afresh in the black American. We seem him gropping amid those forms of development evolved by the white man through ages in the painful climb toward civilization. The brain of the colored American is growing like our brains grew; his powers enlarging like our powers; his wonder, his despair, were once our emotions. He is asked to learn in a few years what the white man has written in fifty centuries. We are beginning to see that the colored American may only learn the white many's way through the white man's sympathy. All institutions are dumb until interpreted by kindness and will give no light to a new race until the altar of justice smiles with friendliness. We are beginning to see that as comrades in our dangers, as co-laborers bearing our burdens, as fellow-citizens sharing our opportunities, as friends in the kinship of understanding, we must read the paths of trial and safety as fellow-Americans.—Editorial from Leslie's Weekly.

SAN DOMINGO NATIVES BIT- . TER AGAINST U.S. Paul Douglass Writing’ in Natior Tells of High Handed Rule of ‘United States Marines. (From the Nation.) New York, May 2—(Special)—Na- tives of San Domingo will never be satisfied until the U. S. withdraws its marines from the island, according to a letter by Paul Douglass, of San Domingo, printed in the New York Nation. . Mr. Douglass, who spent some time on the island, declares that he has not seen a single Dominican who does not want the American out bag and baggage. . . “The marines with whom he came in contact, told him that they treated natives as they pleased, and if they wanted a pig or a turkey they took it and if they wanted fruit or, vege- tables they took them. Two: Ameri- can captains, commanders of Domini- can ports, according-to Mr. Douglass, spent most of the time eating! and making themselves drunk, There are no prohibition laws in San Domingo. _Explaining why the natives dare not protest too strongly, Mr. Doug- lass declares one week in November Horacio Blanco Fombona published on the front page of his review Le- tras, a photograph of a Dominican whose chest had been fearfully seared by American soldiers, using Belgian- Congo, or Prussian-Belgian, methods of eliciting information. All at once, the office of Letras was invaded by armed soldiers and closed up, and Mr. Fombona got free board and lodging in prison at Dominican ex- pense. * And lest anyone should enter the establishment of Letras, an. armed sentry—armed.with a high-power rifle —was sent to pace ‘before it, night and day—at Dominican expense.

Cook, a member of the board of education of Washington, will speak on "Colored Poets and Their Poetry," and where the poetry has been put to music it will be sung by trained racial voices. Other colored speakers will be Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, who has charge of the music; Dr. A. L. Locke, a Professor at Howard University, and Mr. Louis G. Gregory. A charming and elaborate musical program is being arranged for all the sessions which will be of great educational value. Mrs. Pelham will describe the primitive music of the colored people, their spirituals and their modern compositions, and these will be sung. As this convention is different in its arrangements and scope from other interracial conventions, it will make a strong appeal to the thinking people of the United States. Men of distinction in many parts are intensely interested in this convention. Noted among the many speakers who will deliver addresses is Mr. C. Lee Cook, leading citizen of Louisville, Ky., famous for his many inventions and his constructive genius, and famous as a cripple who never walked in his life, yet refused a salary of forty thousand dollars offered him by the Government during the war. Mr. Cook is self-educated and is a miriad-minded man of genius. He has many friends for his philanthropies and is a true friend and lover of humanity. It is also probable that he will speak at Howard University during his visit to this vity. The First Congregational Church will accommodate the sessions of this unusual convention, which will begin on Thursday evening, May 19, and continue with morning and evening sessions for two more days. It is expected to point out to the nation a constructive program of inter-racial harmony which will be effective. A FALSE RUMOR.

Common business sense teaches them that they could not offer offense of this kind to thousands of progress and intelligent colored citizens of Washington. This company has done many good deeds for the colored race as well as individuals of this race. The company has been most friendly and benevolent. The company informed The Bee representative that it desires to continue the same friendly relations with the race in the future. Scarcely had the rumor gained headway before the office of The Bee was flooded with telephone message concerning it, and patrons for conferences. The representative of The Bee proceeded at once to investigate the rumor. He found the Chapin & Sacks Company extremely courteous and as anxious to trace the rumor to its source and place the responsibility as the public was. The Bee concluded that whatever occurred, was either the result of gross ignorance or the part of someone who desired to create a cause for propaganda for which the company was not responsible. THE RACE IS BEING CONSIDERED. The political plums began to drop from the tree when Secretary Fall appointed Lieutenant Flipper to an office of responsibility. Another plum was shaken down by Secretary Davis and fell on Phil H. Brown. The Bee hopes that when the plum falls on the Collector of the Port of New York that Charles Anderson will be there to catch it. New York stands solidly for his appointment to this position. For fear that the District of Columbia plums may fall in the wrong place The Bee writes "An Open Note to President Harding." With our abiding faith in President Harding, The Bee knows that political plums are going to fall on its side of the tree some time soon, even though it should be after the period of maturity. The object of this note, therefore is to respectfully remind the Honorable President to remember one request in particular of the District people: "That District plums fall on District people."

President Harding has given his approval and good will to the second annual "Go to High School, Go to College" drive which is a nation-wide campaign to. encourage colored youths to continue their education, being conducted this week, May 9th to 15th, by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the pioneer Negro college fraternity, at its various chapters situated throughout the United States. In a letter to Norman L. McGhee, the General Secretary of the Fraternity, President Harding wrote that the results of the first drive held June. 6 to 12, 1920, seems to justify the repitation of the effort this year. "The need for effective work to reduce illiteracy among the colored people," he added, "is very great and manifestly it can be accomplished chiefly through the equipment of members of the colored race to do educational work among their own people. You may be sure of my earnest sympathy and good will." Last year 2,000 members of the Alpha Phi, Alpha located in all parts of the country carried the gospel of "stay in high school" and "go to college" to 500 schools, 700 churches and to a half million parents and pupils. It is the hope of the Fraternity to reach one million pupils this year. "THE SAGE OF ANAČOSTIA." Editor in Chief The Associated Negro Press: Good morning, children! How many remember the story of Frederick Douglass' life? How many of John Brown's life? Well, you know their names will never die. We must tell the world, and keep their memories fresh: The other day I visited the home of Frederick Douglass. He has been dead for a number of years, long before you were born, but his home is being preserved to keep a place where we may all go and drink deep of the water of freedom. I wish you might have been with me. The home is over the suburb of Washington, called Anacostia. It is very pretty over there, across the Eastern branch of the Potomac River. The great house sets on a beautiful hill that overlooks Washington, and is halfway hidden behind rows of cedar trees. Do you remember the name Mr. Douglass gave to his home? "Cedar Hill," that's right. There is a big, wide porch across the front of the house, and from it you get a wonderfully fine view of the Capitol, Washington's monument, Navy Yard, White House, the Lincoln Memorial and the new Amphitheatre in Arlington Cemetery, the military burying ground.

THERE IS NONE "JUST AS GOOD" Chapin-Sacks Corporation Franklin 4800 not fancy you see Mr. Douglass sitting on that big porch and looking out over the Nation's Capital city, and thinking of what he came hrough to have the privilege of living there, and thinking of what the future for us might be? We feel sure that he would be very sad if he knew some of the things now going on in Washington. He was once United States Marshal in Washington, and I imagine there are some people hereabout that he would like to hang up by the toes for a while. Inside of the house you will find most of it arranged just as it was when Mr. Douglass died. There in the living room is the big arm chair in which he used to sit, the mahogany inlaid table brought from across the ocean, many pictures on the wall, including those of Charles Sumner, William Lloyd Garrison, Abraham Lincoln, John Brown, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and many others, including fine oil paintings. There is one paragraph that I wish to quote to you from the speech of John Brown, delivered just before he received the sentence of death. The whole speech is printed on satin, and is in a frame on the wall. But the paragraph says? "Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country, whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel and unjust enactments. I say, LET IT BE DONE!" Isn't that worth remembering? No, children, that was not said last week, but over fifty years ago. However, there are still some "wicked, cruel and unjust enactments" in our land that must be done away with. In the library there is a very wonderful collection of books on subjects of every description, but those of human liberty and rights are in the lead. There are two of his hats, one big panama and the other a high, wide brimmed stiff hat. There is Mr. Douglass' desk, with his papers just as he left them. At the East foot of the hill is a well, from which Mr. Douglass used to go the water for his home. That is what I call the "water of freedom," coming from that well. About 100 feet in the rear of the home is a little hut, with a skylight. There is the place that Mr. Douglass used to go when he desired real solitude. Solitude is, a privilege from which one gets blessings and strength. In solitude, one may unburden his soul, unmolested, and lay his plea, unharmed, at the footstool of Mercy. Do not visit Washington without going to Cedar Hill. The property is now in the hands of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, and Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, of Buffalo, N. Y., who directed the campaign to free the place from debt, is looking after the interests with a group of other ladies. If the people of this country, including the boys and girls, would give $50,000 to these ladies, they could make a grand place of Cedar Hill. Have we pride enough, and sentiment enough, do we love the inspirational memories of liberty enough to do this? I think we do. Frederick Douglass is a commanding figure of the world's history. Read again the story of his life written by himself. It will stir your hearts. Time will not efface his deeds, and we must ever keep afresh in our minds the memory of Frederick Douglass.-The Sage of Anacostia. BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING. Messrs. James Edwards and Chas.

PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA By the Sage of the Potomac. There never was a time since Eve suggested to Adam that time, in the Garden of Eden, that he take a big and juicy bite of her apple, that so many celluloid and solid ivory head gentlemen, with dark hue complexions entered the race for minister to Liberia. We don't know whether it is a vision of that $5,000,000 loan Liberia secured, but has not yet received, or whether it is just the $5,000 salary that is attracting them. It appears that every State in the Union, except the District of Columbia, which is no State at all, has a couple of dozen or more opeque-complexioned gentlemen that are making a marathon run for the job. Some of them have about as much ability to fill the job as Nat Turner had to command a successful rebellion against the slave owners. But, somehow and some way, there are a lot of gentlemen of color who have no idea of their limitations, and who never heard of that old saying, "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." At last accounts the Honorable Jeems, was still a candidate for his old job of Assistant District Attorney for this old commonwealth, and it is rumored that the Honorable Thomas L. Jones, and the Honorable Ormand W. Scott have erected their lightening rods for the same job. Why does Jeems think he owns that job? Was he a fit or misfit when he had it? "The poor we always have with us," they use to say away back there in the stone age, and that just reminds us that we still have that "emergency" committee, composed of the Honorable Likum Johnson, the Honorable Perry Howard, the Honorable Charles A. Cottrill, et al, striving their darndest to function as such, while waiting for Prexy Harding to pass out a nice juicy office to each and all of them. But somehow the plums are not falling with the swiftness of an aeroplane. * * * Some inquisitor has sent us a query asking what has become of that so-called "Lincoln League" that held a meeting in Chicago a year ago last February, and has not been heard from since. We emphatically say we do not know. We even have not heard of the president for some time, the Honorable Rosco Conkling Simmons, nephew, by marriage, of the late illustrous Booker T. Washington. Somebody says that somebody threw a monkey wrench into the league's works, and the whole contraption went to pieces. One rumor is that the Honorable Rosco Simmons, self-advertised savior of the race, and orator du lux as well as orator grandilloquent, is not on the chummiest terms with the rest of the bunsh with whom he started on that memorial excursion, using the Lincoln League as a flivver to ride into office. We refer the inquisitive inquisitor to the Honorable Perry W. Howard, Mississippi's wonderful attorney, who practices largely before the Court of Politics, for infor- mation concerning the whereabouts of the late and lamented Lincoln League. It came, it saw, and then it absqualated, or words to that effect. Much attention is being given to the meeting of the Virginia Baptist convention which meets with the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church commencing next Wednesday and continuing session until Sunday night. It will bring to Washington some of the most noted ministers of Virginia and a large number from Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and New York. The convention represents the work the Baptists are doing for themselves in Virginia, fostering the Virginia Theological Seminary and college, one of the largest race schools in the country, at the head of which stands the Rev. Dr. R. C. Woods. The institution is located in Lynchburg, Va. Dr. J. T. King, of Virginia, will preside over the convention. He is a strong minister, and devoting his life to his people. Strong sermons and addresses will be delivered and every phase of the life of the race will be discussed. The educational, meeting will be one of the phases of interest and will be addressed by President R. C. Woods, of the seminary and college. We have sent with Bishop Brooks, five new missionaries—splendid, well prepared young people, for work in West Africa. The work of both the Woman's Parent Mite Missionary Society and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society have been commended. District of Columbia is a part of the territory covered by Virginia in the work of the Baptists, and the convention comes to the city on invitation of Dr. H. Powell, and on agreement made between Dr. Willis and Dr. Powell the sessions will be held in the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. CONCERT TO AID COLORED AMERICAN CONSERVATORY. In the interest of a movement to establish a National Colored American School of Music, Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes combined with the Washington Conservatory of Music in presenting one of the finest expositions colored American music ever given in the country. The program, which was given at Town Hall on April 24, presented three periods in Colored American music and drama, beginning with the primitive African songs, against a background set with colorful bits of colored American handiwork, a scene from African native life was staged. The actors, all colored Americans, gave unforgettable interpretations of their rich folk art. Madikane Cele; a Zulu, and C.

This tentative arrangement is for the payment of $10,000 within 30 days, $15,000 additional within 60 days, and the balance, $65,000 at some date before January 1, 1922, to be agreed to by both parties.

He who won't be advised can't be helped. **** He jests at care that never felt a --- eloquent songs and chants. Possibly the most moving contribution was the exquisite "Chili lo," and African lament, sung by Bessie Henry, who was called upon to repeat it. Kathleen Easmon gave a plastic interpretation of an African legend. Songs from the ante-bellum period in America were sung by the Hampton quarter, a group of men singers, who by their devotional and spontaneous interpretations of the black man's art, have won many to the fascination of colored American folk music. Modern music as developed by Coleridge Taylor, H. T. Burleigh and Dett was then interpreted admirably by Helen Hagan, pianist; Revella E. Hughes, soprano, and Eugene Mars Martin violinist, and the Washington quartet, who demonstrated that the colored American race has produced some splendid exponents of its music. Addresses and appeals to the aid of the colored American Music Center endowment were made by Natalie Curtis, Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall and Mr. Charles Winter Wood, financial secretary of Tuskegee. The program proved a most eloquent appeal in behalf of the black man's art and revealed splendidly the proficiency of African music. FIVE MILLION DOLLAR CAMPAIGN. The Biggest Program Ever Attempted By a Negro Organization. On Wednesday of last week, the Financial Board of the A. M. E. Church, composed of sixteen representatives from different sections of the country, met at the church headquarters, 1541 Fourteenth street northwest, Washington, D. C., to hear the report of Secretary Hawkins and audit his books and accounts for the fiscal year April 1, 1920-April 1, 1921. The report showed that over $360,000 had been reported through this office for the first year of the quadrennium. The Dollar Money alone amounting to $321,480.61, an increase over the previous year of $18,626.99. By previous arrangement, the entire Financial Board was received at the White House by President Harding, who exchanged greeting with each member of the board and thanked Secretary Hawkins for copies of his excellent report.

There''is no executive of ‘any State in the United States more sublimely courageous, singleminded in his deter- mination to see that the colored American gets justice in. Georgia and more unselfish in his endeavors. to that end than Hugh M. Dorsey, Gov- ernor of Georgia. . Governor Dorsey, -in thé activities which he has set in motion in Georgia, to wipe out the stain of ferocious lawlessness against colored Ameri- cans to put a°period to the increasing brutal murders ‘by: individuals, by mobs and “under color of: law, has burned his bridges behind. him. For forty-five years in the South the road to political preferment, high official power and influence; lay over the prostrate and helpless form of the colored American. The political: dem- agogue who- could. most’ skillfully play upon the passions of his people, arousing their prejudices against the colored American and keeping the fires of racial hatred at full heat was always sure of office. But. Governor Dorsey appears to, give no thought to his political future or else cherishes the high and worthy, ambition of leading his pegple to poli- tical success over the highways of peace, justice ahd righteousness, . Governor. Dorsey’s arraignment of the State over whose destinies he pre- sides as “chief magistrate, is an ex- ample. of boldness and courage un- surpassed in the South since’ the Civil War. , Governor Dorsey’s: heroic ex~ ample. is contagious and will spread and infect the governors and people of other .States’ of the South. We thank-Gad for Governor Dorsey. May"| his tribe increase. $ MADAM SMITH’S BEAUTY PARLOR . . oa, Sw ‘Wé Match the Shade.and Grade of Your Hair. Send Us Your me Sample. We Guarantee Satistaction. a .
