Alive Pass Resolutions On Riot THE COLORED PEOPLE OF THE D. C. ON THE JOB. They Are Alive to the Seriousness of the Problems of Race Relationship. The mats meeting held Monday evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church from the point of attendance and enthusiasm demonstrated the fact that the colored people of Washington are alive to the seriousness of the problem of the relation of the races in this country. The choir of the Shiloh Baptist Church rendered excellent music for the occasion. Rev. E. D. W. Jones in an address of power and eloquence set forth the objectives of the committee of seven. Among other things he said that it was not out for honor, money, office for ourselves, nor for the scalps of our fellow men. It has for its motto, "Vigilance." Its one declaration of principle is simple justice. He very vividly brought out and pictured the horrors of the Tulsa' affair. Stirring addresses were made by Judge R. H. Terrell, who cited the example of the Irish of this city holding weekly meetings in the interest of Irish freedom, and urged that we as a people interest ourselves more in the cause of justice for our people; Revs. J. Milton Waldron, W. O. Carrington, W. C. P. Hughes, Editors W. O. Walker and J. Finley Wilson. Eva Chase of the Washington Bee, set forth in a most impressive manner her abiding interest in the welfare of her people. The following resolutions read by Rev. C. James Henderson were heartily adopted: Resolved, That we regard our brothers who died in that regrettable Tulsa riot and holocaust as martyrs who went down as a solemn protest against man's inhumanity to man so flagrantly shown in the unreasonable and hell-born prejudice now rampant in these United States. Resolved, further, That we most respectfully call upon our President to give a message to the people of the United States which at such time as this would serve to bring about a better understanding between the races and help to allay that intensely growing feeling of racial antagonism which underlies such outbursts as Tulsa has recently experienced. Rev. Henderson in presenting these resolutions said, "We commend the Colored Americans of Tulsa for their bravery in coming to the defense of their homes and dependents and pray high Heaven that no cowards will ever be born among us to mar the glory of that brave and fallen few who gave their lives for liberty and justice. A liberal offering was raised for the sufferers in Tulsa. VOL. XLII NO.15 ALI Pass Res THE COLORED PEOPLE They Are Alive to the Serious Relation The mass meeting held Monday, A. M. E.

Mr. Coats is an energetic, thrifty young man, and his ability along business lines is highly commendable. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Union Wesley Church will give a banner rally the third Sunday in July. This Union is deeply interested in the effort being made by the District W. C. T. U. to raise funds to send Mrs. Alma J. Scott, the delegate elected by this body to attend the National W. C. T. U. Convention at California, August 7 to 17. Mrs. Scott is the only one who can represent us in the official board, the executive committee and on the floor of the convention, because she is duly elected by the W. C. T. U/ as its delegate. That body is entitled to one delegate only, therefore we elected our president, Mrs. Alma J. Scott. We urge those who are interested to rally to her support, not only the local unions, but all others who wish to aid this splendid woman in her effort to help the work so dear to her heart. The female members of Union Wesley Choir rendered very effectively Sunday morning, June 26, Wilson's "The Lord Is My Shepherd," a beautiful anthem.

Jones is working earnestly to enlarge Union Wesley. He will succeed. The people support him. Larger quarters are needed for the Sunday School. There are five hundred pupils in attendance, and the present quarters are too small. The young people of this church, under his leadership, are doing great work. The Summer School of the Frelinghuysen University, 1800 Vermont Avenue, affords exceptional opportunity for advancement along all lines of LIBERAL EDUCATION, at the Special Session beginning-Monday Evening, June 20, 1921, at seven o'clock. Finally, the superintendent believes that the executive committee in arranging the two programs for Dunbar and Central High Schools was undertaking to promote community unity and good feeling, but developments during the two days preceding the serenade of the President made it clear that there is a limitation of such efforts established by public opinion. The extent to which adverse criticism may be made about the directions issued to the janitors of Central and Dunbar High Schools depends largely on one's knowledge of the expressions of public sentiment which prompted the General Secretary for Community Centers to issue said directions. Six weeks of intensive work at the Summer School may SAVE A WHOLE YEAR for students who failed to complete their grade in term time. Coaching of backward students a specialty THE FRELINGHUYSEN UNIVERSITY offers both day and evening classes. All applicants should register at ONCE at the office 2011 Vermont Avenue. The incident is particularly unfortunate because differences have been engendered throughout both divisions of the community as the result of an enterprise which was intended to advance and promote better feeling among all people of the District. A complete corps of SPECIAL TEACHERS! Jesse Lawson, A.M., LL.B., Ph. D. President James A. Davis, LL.B. MISS NORTON SPEAKS The Music Week program was prepared by an executive committee made up of citizens representing the public. This executive committee puts its plans into effect through the Community Center Department of the Public Schools. It was the purpose of the executive committee and the Community Center Department to Secretary-Treasurer Frederick K. D. Anderson, A. M. Headmaster On Problems EDUCATION ON THE LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. provide opportunity for everybody to participate in or enjoy the musical programs according to usual customs. The serenade to the. President on the Ellipse was planned to be a tribute of all of the children of the city to the Chief Executive of the Nation. It took place on Federal property which is common ground for all the people of the community. By the President and Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The superintendent has participated only in a very limited way in the organization and carrying out of the programs constituting Music Week. The complete arrangements for Music Week were made, as far as he knows, by an executive committee including among its members the President of the Board of Education, which committee worked through the instrumentality of the Community Center Department of the Public Schools. Neither the plans for Music Week nor the programs were submitted to the superintendent of schools, for official approval. Along with other general arrangements, the superintendent was advised informally, but not officially, about the two programs concerning which the directions in question were issued by the General Secretary of Community Centers. The responsibilities for the arrangement of those programs did not rest with the superintendent of schools. Furthermore, the superintendent of schools did not issue any directions to the General Secretary for Community Centers in connection with Music Week. The Community Centers are operated by act of Congress, which gives complete authority to the Board of Education to make such rules and regulations as it seems necessary for the proper conduct of such activities. The Community Center Department as organized by the Board of Education has but one head for white and colored centers, who is charged with the responsibility under the superintendent of schools of carrying out the rules and regulations of the Board of Education. The directions which I gave the janitors of the Central High and Dunbar High through Miss Pollock, were prompted by the following considerations: The superintendent's official connection with the events of Music Week was limited to one announcement to officers and teachers in the form of a circular, and one official meeting of high school principals and supervising principals. The announcement to officers and teachers conveyed the information to them that Music Week had the indorsement of the Superintendent of Schools and the President of the Board of Education. 1. When the concert at the Central High Community Center was first proposed there were objections from colored people who thought that they were being exploited for the benefit of the white people. Mrs. Pelham thought this was a narrow-minded attitude and immediately and with great trouble, because of the shortness of time, secured other performers to take the place of those who had objected. The official meeting of the superintendent with high school principals and supervising principals was called for the purpose of securing their cooperation in making the serenade as complete a success as possible. This meeting was not called at the request of the executive committee for Music Week, but, rather, was called because the superintendent's attention had been called to the fact that officers and teachers should be officially informed concerning the arrangements for the serenade and because the reputation of the public schools depended upon the success of the event. The united efforts of teachers and officers after such short notice, together with the unusual success of the occasion, are evidences of the fealousy with which officers and teachers guard the reputation and honor of the public school system. 2. When the proposed program for Central High Community Center to be rendered by colored people was made public, objections, were offered by the alumni of the Central High School and others who did not believe that the possibility of a mixed audience at Central High School was desirable. 3. During Music Week many protests were made over the telephone to the office of the principal of Central High School, to the superintendent's office, and to the Community Center office, not only against the proposed program at Central High School for Saturday night, but also against bringing the children of the two divisions of the public school system together in one body on the Ellipse. Following the selenade of the President on the Ellipse the superintendent was invited to a conference with Mrs. Pelham, Mr. Washington, Miss Norton, and Mr. Lawrence. Protests were made by Mrs. Pelham and Mr. Washington against the directions given the janitors of Dunbar and Central High schools. The superintendent was requested to cancel those directions. Since the Superintendent of Schools had not been responsible for the arrangements for the two programs he felt that any directions which had been given for the carrying out of the program by the officers connected therewith could not be modified by him without being misunderstood or interpreted as undue interference. It appeared to the superintendent then and still appears to him that the responsibility for these programs and the arrangements for carrying them out rested with the executive committee for Music Week, and that that committee was responsible for modifying the conditions under which the programs were to be presented, or for canceling the programs, which ever in their judgment seemed better. According to the rule of the Board of Education of April 20, 1921, I am charged with the duty of guarding the schools "from uses tending to create unrest and acrimonious discussion in the community." The Community Center Department has not in the past observed the two divisions of the school system strictly as the divisions are maintained in the day schools. If these divisions of the school system had been as closely observed during Music Week as the divisions are observed in the administration of the educational system, these incidents would not have arisen. These incidents have arisen as a result of an attempt on the part of the Community Center Department to emphasize the unity of the community rather than the division of the community. The superintendent takes occasion to make the following statement concerning the relationship of the Community Center Department to officers in the school system. The Community Center Department has no official relationship to the assistant superintendents or principals of high schools, or principals of elementary schools. The Community Center Department deals directly with the engineers and janitors in the several buildings in which Community Centers have been established. Obviously, therefore, there could be no just criticism of the fact that the Community Center Department dealt directly with the janitors of Central and Dunbar High Schools in these instances. If the Board of Education believes that the past practices of the Community Center Department are unwise or inappropriate either with respect to the law controlling the public school system or with respect to public sentiment, the Community Center Department would be glad to be advised accordingly, in order that the future practices of the department may be entirely consistent with the Board of Education's interpretation of public sentiment. Obviously the policy which should govern the practices of the Community Center Department, in its work are those policies which will bring the greatest good to the greatest number in the community. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) Cecil B. Norton, General Secretary, Community Centers. GRADUATING EXERCISES TWELFTH DIVISION.

The address to the class was one full of wholesome advice, given by Mrs. Julia Mason Layton. Chorus—"Battle Hymn of the Republic." Thus ended the career of divisions, schools and graduates. The ending of a perfect day. The graduates and Miss E. A. Chase were the recipients of many flowers and gifts. MISS JONES VISITS WASHINGTON. Miss Charlotte H. Jones, Dunbar High, 1917, and later a student at Howard, is now engaged in the printing and advertising business in St. Louis.

Apply 12 to 5 P. M., ADAMS MUSIC HOUSE, 1911 9th St. N. W. All Races Respond to Appeal for Contributions to Rebuild Homes. (Special to The Bee.) Oklahoma City, Okla., June 15—Not only the colored Americans and fair-minded white people of the state of Oklahoma have been listed among those who have contributed liberally to the relief of the suffering colored Americans as the result of the deplorable vandalism exhibited at Tulsa during last week, but colored and white throughout the country have contributed liberally; and to date the figures of dollars sent will mount into the millions. The entire country realizes the gross injustice accorded the progressive colored population, and every effort is being made to adjust the matter. Among the checks received by the committee in charge of soliciting funds was one for $1,000 coming from the Chicago Tribune. Rev.R. A. Whittaker, pastor of the Mount Zion Baptist Church of Tulsa, a structure worth $85,000, which was burned by the -mob of hoodlums; tells of the deplorable affair, as follows: "Hundreds of black men, women and children are scattered through the bottoms of Verdi Gras River and the Arkansas, naked, barefooted, women with children in their arms, some giving birth to them, are scattered everywhere as they hurry farther from their homes and the holocaust of bullets of the white assassins who rushed upon their defenseless homes in the wee hours of the morning, spreading fire and bullets everywhere. "Back in the charred, smoking ruins of what was once the finest business district that progressive colored Americans had in the United States, two and one-half million dollars' worth of homes and property, arson reigns supreme, punctured here and there by the still smoking carcases of men, women and children. "Nothing remains," The Stratford Hotel, Red Wing Hotel, Dreamland Theater, Dixie Theater, Gurley's Hotel, Tulsa Star, Oklahoma Sun, A. M. S. Church, the new $95,000 Second Baptist Church, Welcome Grocery Store, Ellibtt & Hooker's Clothing, everything on North Greenwood, together with the whole residential section, a mile square, all lie in ruins. "Fires were started simultaneously in at least fifty places this morning, beginning at Boston and Archer. The whole of the colored district, including Boston, Exeter, Easton, Greenwood and Hartford and the North Addition, was laid waste. "Nothing in the awful flight of the Moors when they fled from Grenada or the story of St. Bartholomew's Night. No, not even the shame of Germany's invasion of Belgium can equal the cowardly and dastardly hell that was started Wednesday morning in this city. Women as they fled from their burning homes were shot down in cold blood. "The trouble started Tuesday night when a crowd of white-youths and men congregated about the jail and demanded the sheriff to turn Jack Rowland over to them, he having earlier in the evening been accused of attempting to assault a white girl in an elevator. Colored citizens, reported to having been led by J. B. Stradford, proprietor of the Stradford Hotel, went to the jail and offered their services to the sheriff, in the protection of the prisoner. Barney Cleaver, veteran colored peace officer and deputy sheriff, met them and reassured them as to the safety of the prisoner. The attitude of the colored and the attitude of the whites is expressed in the following clipping from the Wednesday morning issue of the Tulso World. It follows: "Boys, you are not doing right," Cleaver said. "There isn't anybody going to get that boy tonight. He is perfectly safe here. You shouldn't have done this thing, for it only stirs up face trouble. Go on home and behave yourselves." "With that the colored people passed through the crowd of whites and on down the street toward their own section. Sheriff Is Hooted. "At the same time Sheriff McCullough, was delivering a similar talk to the white crowd of men who were demanding that the colored boy be turned over to them at the south entrance to the court house. He was continually jeered and hooted, but he dared any man to make an attempt to storm the jail. "It was when the crowd had continually refused to disperse that the blacks reinforced in number and made their sortie on the business district, which precipitated the race riot that resulted in bloodshed and arson." Real trouble started when on the return to the court house the colored men were met by unauthorized whites, who attempted to disarm them. Wednesday's Tulsa Tribune recites this story: "The second version of the start of the firing was to the effect that a number of unarmed white men, seeing that the officials were not willing to disarm the blacks, took that task upon themselves. One man is reported to have dashed into the ranks of the blacks and seized one of the guns. Spectators who relate this as the true story of the inception of the shooting declare that the blacks immediately opened fire when they were threatened with dasarmament. Shortly after the colored men fled from the court house battlefield an automobile load of white youths sped past and fired, into the jail windows on the fourth floor, spectators declared. "John McQueen, a former county officer, and one of the men who attempted to disperse the crowd at the court house, declared that Johnny Cody was the colored man whose shot started the general firing here. "While I was on the steps Cody and a band of colored people started up," McQueen said. "I wont to meet them, and a stranger backed me up, Cody pushed a gun against him and fired just as I pushed the gun away. The stranger went down. Several bullets went through my coat. "Immediately after this report came to the crowd that the blacks were mobilized for systematic assault on the whites. The majority of the white men were still unarmed. It became" apparent, however, that the police and sheriff's force were making no attempt to prevent the return of the blacks, so the white men themselves took charge of the situation. Small groups systematically entered all downtown hardware stores and pawnshops and took up all the arms and ammunition that could be found. Nothing else in any of the stores was touched." After the first clash the colored people retreated to a point near the Frisco tracks and Greenwood, where they held the whites at bay throughout the night. A detour, however, was made by the whites coming in from the high hill on the north, where the cowardly attack was made with the torch and the match. Airplanes with nitro-glycerine bombs are reported to have been dropped down into the midst of the black district. The military authorities seemed slow in their effort to establish order for the reason that all of the burning took place after they were in charge. Hemmed in on all sides and trapped in an outburst of flames, there was nothing for the helpless colored people to do but rush from their burning homes out in the hell of bullets that met them from all sides. Into great concentration camps they were herded like cattle. Convention Hall, the ball park and all of the large garages today house fully 7,000 colored people, who stand panting in the hot sun. As an instance of the brutal manner in which the blacks were yanked into captivity, we quote from the Tulsa Tribune of Wednesday, which says: Blacks Tied Together. "Six blacks, roped together in a line, were hauled into. Convention Hall early this morning by Leo Irish, motor cycle officer, who held up and coralled the band on the outskirts of the North Greenwood district. He tied them together with a line and led them a hot pace behind his motor cycle on the return trip. "Following the night of rioting, sniping and open clashes between the whites and blacks, hundreds of armed men invaded the colored district to remove the menace the blacks there offered. At 5 o'clock scores of armed men in automobiles drove to the north side of the black belt in the vicinity of Standpipe Hill. These white fighters formed one wing of an encircling movement entirely surrounding the colored wistrict. Hundreds of pedestrians advanced on the black belt from the south and west. Hundreds of shots were fired. Many colored people were reported to have been wounded while a number of whites were taken to hospitals with wounds. "The heaviest fighting this morning was in the extreme northern section of the black belt. Hundreds of colored people were concentrated in a valley at the base of Sunset hill. Fifty were barricaded in a church. Machine Guns in Use. "Deadly volleys of steel were poured into the hanks of the whites as they advanced in open formation against the blacks, who stood their ground. Finally the whites were forced to retreat. A call was sent to police headquarters for reinforcements. A, number of guardsmen with machine guns were sent up, and for twenty minutes poured a stream of lead on the colored people, who sought refuge behind buildings, telephone poles and in ditches. "The heavy firing came to a sudden halt when a huge white cloth was raised aloft by the colored people. The church where many colored people were barricaded, was riddled with bullets, it was said." Hundreds of colored people with hands held high in the air walked from the valley under the guard of armed citizens. They were taken to convention Hall and McNulty Park, where they were interned. To date, confirmation has been given to the rumor of Wednesday that Ed Howard, one of the prominent property owners and business men of Tulsa, is dead. Dr. A. C. Jackson, prominent physician, is also one of the vietims. Rumor had it Thursday morning that O. W. Gurley, one of the most prominent men of our group, had been killed, and that J. B. Stradford had been hung on the court house lawn. Telephone communication with Barney Cleaver established the fact that both Gurley and Stradford are in one of the concentration camps: John Wheeler, who for ten years was porter at the First National Bank, is also dead. J. M. Tyler, L.D. Grace and Roy Grace are also through telephone communication reported in concentration camps and uninjured. There are eleven colored women, most of them not seriously hurt. Marie Johnson broke a stitch taken in a recent operation while helping to carry wounded; Gertrude Carr had a heart attack due to fear; Ruth Moore, mother of a three-year-old baby, was in a dangerous condition; Ruth Oliver was shot through the foot; Letha Rentie of Muskegee, shot through the limb; Miranda Glaze, an old woman, sustained a number of bullet wounds. Nine colored people were said to be in dangerous condition. A portion of the colored men were H. Johnson, Bob Rivers, Arnold Vance, Dave Bland, Willie Brown, Ed. Ingraham, George Denny, Carl Arnsley, P. H. Chapell, Tom Nelson, Sam Tyson, Andrew Nell, William Eggs, T. J. Bryant, Dan Davis, Clarence Griffin, Clarence Hall, William Turner, Lindsay Williams, Porter Williams, Johnnie Baker, Ed. Baskin, William Holderness, S. Jackson, E. Stevenson, Geo Jeffrey, H. Johnson, Vance Arnold, William Turner, R. T. Everett, Commodore Knox, Chester Henderson, and an unidentified man. Thirty White Men Arrested. Thirty white men have been arrested and are being held for investigation as suspects in connection with the race riots here. Police Chief Gustafson made this announcement. Another white man arrested by state guardsmen on a complaint of inciting to riot is also being held. Police officials refused to reveal the names of the men. The thirty white under arrest are alleged to have been found plundering the devastated colored district. About seventy-five men have been taken into custody within the last few days on various charges, but many of them were released. Chief Gustafson declared that drastic measures would be taken against the looters. "We are keeping a close record of all property recovered," he said, "and as solored people identify their belongings we will demand that they swear out warrants for the arrest of vandals. Prosecutions will follow." Four Colored Man Charged With Rioting. The first steps toward prosecution of the alleged leaders of the race riots and subsequent burning of the colored district here last week with a cost of forty-two lives, was taken today with the filing of charges against K. B. Stratford, colored, and former hotel proprietor, and three other colored men, none of whom are in custody. They are charged with rioting. Extradition papers for Stratford, who is in Independence, Kansas, were forwarded by the county attorney to Governor Robertson, who was asked to make a requisition. COLORED GIRL IS BOOT -BLACK TO FINISH MUSIC. (From the New York Herald, Sunday, June 12.) A girl bootblack has appeared in Bryant Park. Veteran benchwarmers she say she is the first bootblack of her sex they ever saw. She says herself she's the first one in New York, but very likely contradiction will arise from some longer memory. She is a colored girl, seventeen years old. Her cerise straw bonnet began bobbing about the park, three weake ago. She carries the regulation box, swung over her shoulder by a strap. Her competitors are Greeks—boys and men. She says she doesn't get as many customers as they do, but during half an hour's observation yesterday afternoon she did very well. Men looking up from their newspapers and seeing that the "Shine, sir?" came from a girl seemed rather taken with the idea. The polishing she gave the reporter's shoes was as good as the average. She is blacking boots because she wants to be a violinist. There was nothing incongruous in this, as she explained it. Her name, she said, is Julia Hodge, and she lives in West 59th Street. Her parents are dead. She is a graduate of St. Benedict's Parocial School in West 53d Street. At fourteen she tried working as a lady's maid, but didn't like it. She then went into a factory where women's dresses are made, and found that sewing earned her as much as $25 a week. Last year this dropped to $20 or $22, and what with strikes and business slumps her livelihood became uncertain. She decided to go into business for herself. What business? She looked around and saw that a shoe shining outfit cost only $2.50. She would start with that and save until she could buy or rent a stand and get a city license and have a regular fixed establishment. And with her savings from that would take violin lessons, having found her attempts to teach herself not wholly satisfactory. And when she could play the violin well she would herself become a teacher of it, and thus the shoe shining job would have elevated her to the position she has been bent on attaining since childhood. she polished his shoes. "Do the other bootblacks bother me?" she said. "No. One man was fussing around because he said a girl had no right in a man's business, but I got work to do and no time to listen to that man. If you tend to your own affairs nobody's going to bring you harm in this town." She said her average earnings from her new profession had been about $3 a day so far. THE STORY OF "EMPEROR JONES." A Review of the Book and Play in Which Charles S. Gilpin Had the Title Role. --- To appreciate the book and play, "The Emperor Jones," just published by Boni & Liveright, it is necessary that we cast aside all suspicion that the author, Eugene G. O'Neil, had an ulterior motive in writing the play or that he sought in any way to rereflect discredit upon the colored American as a race. The play is "a study of the psychology of fear and of race superstition." All races of mankind have superstitions, and all of us, both white and black, are subject to fear, especially of the supernatural. But, be this as it may, one thing is certain. The success of the play is due to the wonderful portrayal of its leading character, Brutus Jones, by Charles S. Gilpin, a colored American actor. Briefly told, Brutus Jones, ex-Pullman porter, ex-member of a Baptist church, ex-gambler, ex-murderer, ex-convict, while in a game of chance with a fellow Pullman porter, catches him cheating and kills him. Jones is tried and convicted of the crime and sentenced to the chain gang. While working on the roads, he is struck by the prison guard and resents the attack by striking the guard down and making his escape. Leaving the United States, Jones settles himself on a half civilized island in the West Indies. Here he meets one Smithers, an outcast Englishman, living parasitically on the island as a trader. Jones encourages the superstitions of the natives by telling them he is immune from death by lead bullets, and that he can only be killed by a silver bullet. Lem, the reigning chief, becomes jealous of the awe Jones has inspired in the natives and attempts, unsuccessfully, to have him killed. It is not long before Jones is hailed as chief, and later proclaims himself emperor. He resigns in splendor, with officers, ministers and soldiers, a regular comic opera kingdom. But, in his insatiate desire for gold he burdens the natives with heavy taxes. His oppression spurs ex-Chief Lem on to re-establish himself among his followers, which he does successfully. The "Emperor" is far-sighted and has made provision for any eventuality. He has deposited large, sums of money in a foreign bank; learned the way through the dense forest, and; even hid some food, wrapped in oil cloth, in the stump of a tree. The curtain rises on Smithers, who is informed by a native women that all the Emperor's followers have departed for the hills to decide on a way to depose of him; then she, too, departs. Meanwhile, his majesty, the Emperor, who had been taking his after-lunch sleep, is awakened by the whistling of Smithers. Jones—Who dare whistle dat way in my palace? Who dare wake up de- Emperor? Smithers- It was me whistled to yer. I got news for yer. Then by slow degrees Smithers tells Jones his followers have all run off to the hills. The Emperor decides to make his getaway by going through the great haunted forest. "Dawn tomorrow," be boasts, "I'll be out on der oder side and on de coast whar dat French gunboat is stayin'. She picks me up take me to Martinique when she go dar, and dere I is safe wid a mighty big bank roll in my jeans. It's easy as rollin' off a log." But the plans of the boastful Emperor or miscarried. His food is stolen; he is haunted by "little formless fears" and ghosts of his former life in the United States, and loses his way in the forest. Here is is eventually trapped and killed by a party of natives led by former Chief Lem. In order to overcome the superstition inspired in them by the Emperor Jones, the natives melt silver coing and make it into bullets, and it is with these that lie is shot. Gilpin's most effective acting is done in the fifth scene, when, overcome by fear, he falls upon his knees and prays: Oh, Lawd, Lawd! Oh, Lawd, Lawd! Lawd Jesus; heah my prayer! I'se a po' sinner, a po' sinner! I knows I done wrong. I knows it! When I catches Jeff cheatin' wid loaded dice my 'anger overcomes me and I kills him dead! When dat guard hits me wid de whip, my anger overcomes me, and I kills him dead. And down heath whar dese fool bush N—ers raises me up to the seat o' de mighty, I steals all I could grab. Lawd, I done wrong! I knows it! I'se sorry! Forgive me, Lawd! Forgive dis po' sinner! De Lawd preserve me from dem hants after dis. I ain't skered o' real men. Let dem come. But dem odders Truly the play is worth seeing and the book well worth reading. (Reviewed especially for the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service.) ASKS JUSTICE FOR COLORED AMERICANS. (From Washington Herald.) Does it pay to ignore the laws of our land and country? I should say it doesn't. While riots and needless blood-shed have become common things in Christian America, it is regrettable that Tulsa, Okla., has felt called upon to stain her garments with the blood of her most trusted friends—the colored men and women of that State. We have the courts to deal with the criminal, lawless mobs in this country, and the courts—not the lawless mobs—should deal with them. Again I ask, Does it pay to ignore the law? The destruction of many lives and upward of $4,000,000 worth of property in Tulsa says it does not. We enter not a single plea in behalf of the colored man who is charged with the crime of attacking a girl, for all such fiends should be severely punished. But be it remembered that civilized, Christian America has long since established courts to perform that duty. And no lawless mobs should be allowed to step in and take the law into their own hands! Think of it, while the Christian Americans are collecting money and discarded shoes and clothes to succor the helpless mothers and little children in far-off Europe, among whom might have been found some of our most bitter enemies during the world war, they may now hear the sad cry of the helpless colored mothers and children in America, as they try to escape the wrath of the blood-thirsty mobs over here. Would that we so-called Christians in America, would awake, from our sleeping lethargy long enough to see ourselves as the rest of the civilized world sees us. White Christian Americans, why not give your colored friends what is rightfully due them? When charged with a crime, why not give them a just frial before the courts, like other human beings? If a colored man happens to be tried in the courts, he must go before a white jury, a white district attorney and a white judge. With these combined, very often, with hearts full of prejudice, the colored brother has little chance to escape. Deal justly with the colored citizens; they are your very best friends. They've come to your rescue many times in the hour of need. They've never failed you, and you'll need them again some day—possibly in a more trying time than ever before. J. E. Cunningham. Washington, June 2. "BLACK CROSS NURSES OR- GANIZE. Dr. A. J. Offord, one of the younger and more progressive physicians of Chicago, has organized a Black Cross Nurses' organization, and opened a school for nurses at Fort Dearborn Hospital. In a recent interview Dr. Offord said: "I am a firm believer in the race doing everything for itself that it finds possible to do. President Harding has pointed out to us in no uncertain terms that we have got to get out of the rut in which we find ourselves by our own efforts. So fully do I believe this to be true that I am more than willing to do whatever I can to hasten the day when we shall stand on our own economic and industrial feet. As a physician I stand for the highest planes of efficiency in all the departments of medicine. Our women make the finest trained nurses in the world. Nature has done more for them in this direction than it has done for any other women in the entire world, at least that is my belief. Then why not give/them the soundest scientific training in this particular? Our school has more than 60 women and we will go out into the world and give a service that cannot be measured in dollars and cents." Dr. Offord is very active in church and in the musical circles and should be encouraged in every way. Colored Americans are reported as owning 2,000,000 acres of land in the United States, and property valued at $1,250,000,000. Sixty years ago they were ignorant and penniless slaves; from which it would appear that hard and faithful work can still achieve miracles. In Richmond, Va., at the recent meeting of the Women's Missionary Council of the Southern Methodist Church, the report of the Commission on Race Relationships was received with vivid interest. An appropriation of $5,000 was made to defray the expenses of the commission in arousing interest among the women of their church in behalf of colored women and children; and in cooperating with other white organizations, with colored people, and with inter-racial committees throughout the South, to better conditions for the race.

The Colored Americans of the country think that their unselfish contributions to the successful issuance of the World's War, being tantamount to that rendered by any similar group of men or any other group of loyal patriots since the inception of this government, entitle them to Federal recognition.

Fullsome praises were given to this group of men by our President for its war contributions which made these black men feel that they are part and parcel of the Republic. To them was vouchsafed the equal rights of heritage and conquest. In unmistakable language President Harding uttered the following words concerning them: "I believe the 'Negro' of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights; that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed; that their sacrifice in blood on the battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all freedom and opportunity, all sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands."—Senator Harding's speech of acceptance. In cooperation with these words from the lips of the President are those of Vice President Coolidge: "There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Tempted with disloyalty, they remained loyal, serving in the military forces with distinction, obedient to draft to the extent of hundreds of thousands, investing one dollar out of every five they possessed in Liberty Bonds. Surely they hold the double title of citizenship; by birth and by conquest, to be relieved from lynching and to freely granted equal opportunity."—Calvin Coolidge in his speech of acceptance. In these words the administration gives concrete expressions to the whole concept of the administration. May God help it to make real its good and noble intent. May God help it to make real its good and noble intent. Therefore, in no better way could the administration manifest its appreciation of service than by giving recognition to our exservice men in Federal appointment as has been given to the exservice men of the other race.

While there is an evidence of increased brain power and intelligence for the race, yet on the other side the question arises: Can they find the employment suited to their various tastes and qualifications? Are they really fitted for the tasks which their hands may find to do? So few avenues are opened up to them in life—the fewest are to be found in the business world. Many of them are not desirous of going South, where, perhaps, they are mostly needed, because as they say, "They will not stand the degradation and humiliation to which they are subjected there." What shall they do? Where shall they go? These questions should appeal greatly to the noble men of the race who are knocking away at the doors of the commercial and economic world with their tremendous sledge hammers for admission and by means of which they are securing a foothold. Encourage them by your patronage and support. There will be many new places of employment for these graduates. Do not sidetrack for the gilded toy. This is only transitory and of no financial benefit to the race. Support your own institutions. This means employment for our graduates. By Thomas Campbell.

These concrete examples of an everlasting symbol to the igno The Bee, from statements emanating from the heads of the Public Schools and Community Center, that the mapping out of programs for Music Week was solely in the hands of the executive committee, which was alleged to have been composed of citizens representing the public schools, places the responsibility for the discord made in Musical Week directly upon the committee and indirectly upon the community center by a sin of omission. In the first place the committee was hand picked and no such committee is representative of the people of the District of Columbia. The people of the D. C. are democratic in their ideas—they love to take part in electing their own representatives. A blunder was made by the one who was at the head of the whole affair in denying them this privilege. In the teaching corps there is no friction among the members of the committees of colored and white teachers who serve together on committees because the heart of the one who directs the movement is right and the teachers are given the widest latitude to elect their own representative. Considering the personnel of the executive committee, The Bee thinks it highly possible that one part of the committee was not consulted concerning the orders given Dunbar and Central High Schools during Music Week by the other part, the minority. Certain it is that some of its members were unacquainted with District of Columbia affairs because there is a friendly feeling existing between the colored and white races of the responsible classes in the District of Columbia. Had Miss Norton sent the orders to the responsible ones of Dunbar and Central the blunder would not have been made. Each of these centers has an executive head who is responsible for the centers and who are over the janitors. This is similar to the sending of an order designed for the welfare of a school to the janitor of the school instead of to the principal who is executive head. The Bee thinks it the duty of the Community Center to help wipe out narrowness among the people wherever it exists. It should make narrow minds broader by all of the concrete examples at its command or otherwise. By tradition and memory The Bee notes that the people of both races in the District of Columbia always come together harmoniously as occasion dictates. They united a short while ago when the Community Conference was held by the Educational Commissioner Claxton at Central High School and Thompson School. No friction. They were together when a band of colored singers from the War Camp Community Center at 7th and U Streets went to Walter Reed Hospital to entertain the wounded soldiers. No friction. The two races met in the most friendly relations at the First Congregational Church in the Interracial Congress. These concrete examples of amity between the races serve as an everlasting symbol to the ignorant of both races. SHILOH NEWS NOTES In spite of the hot weather, which was almost unbearable, a large audience was present last Sunday morning at Shiloh Baptist Church ("Strangers' Home"), to hear the timely, scholarly and very practical sermon by our pastor, Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron on "Lessons From the Tulsa Riot." There were a number of white citizens in the audience and hundreds of members from all walks of life among our own people. The congregation followed the sermon with intense interest, and sanctioned the masterly appeal made by the pastor to every well thinking American to do all in his or her power to destroy the mob spirit and the reign of lawlessness before these things destroy the nation. Dr. Waldron said: "Had the pastors and churches, white and black, in Tulsa, done their duty six months ago in condemning crime, greed, lawlessness, race hatred and race prejudice, the proudest republic in the world would not today be hanging its head in shame, because of the blackest crime in the presentday annals of America." Next Sunday morning Dr. Waldron will preach upon the subject: "Called to Be Saints." This is the first sermon in a series which he is planning to preach on the Book of First Corinthians, and it will be exceedingly interesting. At night the Lord's Supper will be observed and the hand of fellowship given to new members, and a real soul-uplifting service is promised all who attend. Because of the storm last Sunday night the Centennial Celebration of the Life and Work of Lott Carey in Liberia had to be postponed until the second Sunday night in July, at which time a very interesting and instructive program will be carried out by the Missionary Circle. Mrs. M. M. Waldron, President, and the following ladies, namely: Mesdames Oliver Barksdale, Lucy Jackson, M. P. Banks, Josephine C. Smith, Louise Thomas, P. H. Donoho, G. Harkum, Carrie Green and Mary R. Reid. The Sunday School and Christian Endeavor are planning for an all-day outing at the Zoological Park on the Fourth of July. They usually carry a large crowd and have a splendid time. The members and friends of these organizations and the church as well are invited to accompany the Sunday School and Christian Endeavor on this outing. Shiloh Church sent $50.00 this week to aid the sufferers who were burned out in the Tulsa riot recently. The church has just closed its fifteen hundred dollar, rally, and the pastor and officers are pleased with the success met with in this special --- remanating from the heads of the Center, that the mapping out of solely in the hands of the executive to have been composed of citizens places the responsibility for the directly upon the committee and in order by a sin of omission.

News From "Strangers' Home." Last Sunday was a "high day" at Shiloh Baptist Church ("Strangers' Home," this city). The Sunday School had an exceptionally large attendance with a very generous offering. Mrs. Josephine Carroll Smith has just finished up for the season a course in the training of teachers and examined the members of the class. Some of these members made a splendid record in the book on organization, management and grading of Sunday schools: After the vacation is over, this class will take up another department of the Sunday School Teacher Training. All the members of the class seem greatly in love with Mrs. Smith, and she has shown herself an able, enthusiastic and magnetic teacher. The Christian Endeavor Society is planning to send several delegates to the World's Christian Endeavor Convention, which meets in New York city, July 6 through 11. The President of the Christian Endeavor, Mrs. Matilda G. Harris, and her husband, will motor to the Metropolis for this meeting. Our pastor, Rev. Dr. Waldron, expects to attend the Convention and to deliver a special address to the Baptist Ministers' Union of New York city before he returns. The Rev. James E. Kent always proves himself a helpful and faithful member to the church. He cooperates heartily with the pastor, and is glad to assist the church and Dr. Waldron at any time. Rev. Mr. Kent is in demand in various parts of the country by reason of his able, scholarly and eloquent delivery of the Word of God, and if things head up as it appears they will, this able and enthusiastic divine will soon be feeding a flock in another part of the country. The choir, under the able leadership of Prof. T. H. Ward, grows bet- --- ter each week, and it is easily one of the best choirs in Washington, and proposes to keep on the job during the summer. During the past two weeks the church has been winding up its fifteen hundred dollar rally, and has had as its visitors and assistants the following churches and their pastors, namely: Rev. Dr. C. M. Tanner and the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church; Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman and the Metropolitan Baptist Church and choir; Rev Dr. Howard and the Zion Baptist Church and choir, and Dr. J. L. S. Holloman and the Second Baptist Church and choir. On Sunday, June 26, Dr. Waldron preached at 11 a.m., on the "Tulsa Riot," and an offering was taken up for the stricken people in that unfortunate city. At night the Woman's Missionary Circle held a special service in memory of Lott Carey, the first missionary to Liberia, and the first President of that Republic. Mrs. M. M. Waldron, the President, had charge of the program; the choir rendered special music, and the following ladies had parts on the program, namely: Mesdames Mary C. Dismond, Lucy Jackson, Marion P. Banks, Josephine C. Smith, Emma J. Fisher and her Sunday School class; Mesdames Thomas, Donohoe, Harkum and Green. Mrs. M. Reid read some recent letters from the Missionary of the Society, Miss Clarice Gooding, who is now laboring in Liberia. EMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH.

BLAINE INVINCIBLE AND STATE REPUBLICAN CLUBS. Friday night, in spite of the extreme heat, John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church was filled to capacity to listen to a splendid program. The Blaine Invincible Club, with its newly elected president, Frank Wells, who is one of the most capable and energetic Republicans of the District. "He knows how to do things." The Blaine Invincible had 280 men out, accompanied by a large number of the Order of Elks and District Employees' Association, headed, respectively by Messrs. Sam Jones and Aldridge. T. M. Lewis. The pulpit and church was filled with members of the State Republican Club, among whom may be mentioned Messrs. Edward F. Colladay, National Committeeman; T. Lincoln Townsend, organizer of the Harding-Coolidge Club; William T. Galliher, chairman Republican State Committee; Chapin Brown, former National Committeeman; E. C. Graham, Secretary of State Committee and member of Board of Education; J. I. Hurley, District Employees' Association; Dr. Tindall, District Commissioners Office, and others. Mr. E. C. Graham paid a tribute to President Harding, the Republican principles and the colored voters. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, honorary life member of the Blaine Invincibles, and the only colored woman in the District of Columbia who is a member of the State Republican Executive Committee, and President of the Republican Forum of Women's Clubs, spoke of what the colored people want—not wholly office, but equal protection before the law, regardless of race. "Give us the opportunity and protect us therein and the job will care for itself." We are in the saddle. We propose to stay therein. We have faith and hope. We expect to see mob rule, Jimcrowism, peonage, race discrimination all wiped out, and the enforcement of every clause of the Constitution, particularly the 14th, 15th and 19th amendments just as fully as the 18th amendment, of which we are proud.

He said the committee as it stands today is made up of the finest type of citizenship, who would only lend their efforts toward the best and for the advancement of the party and the city. He also was in favor of the District having a voice in Congress, and the rights and principles of a state. Mr. E. C. Graham said as a member of the Board of Education he was on the board to look after the interests of the 60,000 school children, and he did not want to know anything about color—just what is best for the educational side for 60,000 children.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 21 That home economics education in the colored schools of fourteen Southern states is recognized as essential to a well rounded curriculum, and that earnest efforts are being expended to raise the standard of work in colored schools, through more adequate financial support and improved supervision, was the opinion expressed by Miss Carrie Alberta Lyford, director of the Hampton Institute Home Economics School, in her recent address on "Home Economics Education for the Colored Girl," delivered before the Southern Home Economics Association, which met at George Peabody College. Springtime-Summertime "Courses in home making in colored American schools," said Miss Lyford, "have been carried on in various parts of the South for more than fifty years, but so scattered have been these efforts to train colored American girls to standards of better living, so lacking in recognition by the state departments of education, and so generally thwarted by the absence of a definite, carefully arranged, well adapted program that there can be said to have existed no well defined plan of home economics education for the colored girl. "The Velvet Kind" REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. "With the appointment of supervisors of colored rural schools in every Southern state, with the development of recognized home economics departments in the state and normal schools for colored Americans, with the growth of the home demonstration work for colored American women under the United States Department of Agriculture, and with the establishment of vocational home economics under the Federal Board for Vocational Education, the need for a definite scheme for home economics education for the colored girl has become increasingly apparent. Made without the use of gelatine, gums, starch or fillers Made with pure cream, pure milk, pure cane sugar and natural flavors. THERE IS NONE "JUST AS GOOD" "Negro education along all lines has suffered sorely through lack of organized effort and co-operative endeavor. Home economics'education for the colored American has in no sense been an exception to the prevailing condition, though special interest in some phases of the work, funds for maintenance, and recognition by educators have all been lacking. In many cases cooking schools have been left without stoves, sewing rooms have been without machines; no provision has been made for supplies for cooking or sewing lessons and state and county officials too frequently have known nothing of existing conditions. Chapin-Sacks Corporation Franklin 4800 "Early courses in home, making for colored girls were largely taught by Northern white women, who came South to aid in the establishment of industrial schools, which were supported by Northern capital. These scattered industrial schools, however, became centers of development for the colored communities in which they were established, but the fact that they were 'private' institutions deprived them of that wide usefulness which it is alone possible for well supported state institutions to exert. Such institutions as Hampton and Tuskegee, which have had a high degree of independence and of freedom from binding conditions have made possible the development of a type of education that is full of suggestion for vocational schools today. ```markdown ``` "The motto of Hampton, 'Learning ing by Doing,' has stood for making use of all the facilities of daily life for training. Thus, from the first, the girls were carefully trained in various processes of house work, even though no formal courses of home economics were developed. Such training has continued to form an important part of the home economics education of Hampton girls and of the girls in all the well conducted industrial schools." A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE Miss Lyford paid warm tribute to the pioneer home economics work which had been done in Norfolk, Newport News, and other Southern cities during the past twenty-five years. She also commended the valuable work of the state supervisors of rural colored schools and the Jeanes industrial supervising teachers, who aim to improve the colored girl, her home and her community. Modern Home Economics Courses. "The home economics course," said Miss Lyford, "that does not make the girl a healthier, better dressed, more industrious, and a more honest girl fails of its first purpose. The girl who has learned to care for and to control herself and to spend her money, wisely has received the fundamental training necessary before she can be prepared to take her place as the head of a home or to assume those wider responsibilities Though it is young in history, the Institution feels a just pride in the work thus far accomplished, for its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship. The Teacher Training Department The Grammar School The Divinity School The Academy The Commercial Department The Schol of Arts and Sciences The Department of Home Economics The Department of Music The Department of Social Service PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA which make for better community life. The colored American home will show the results of school training that is effective, and only as it does, will the needed improvement in community life be brought to pass. "Today, because of the recognized changes that are taking place in economic and social conditions, all teachers feel the pressing need of preparing their girls for lives of usefulness, of developing habits of thrift, and of awakening a spirit of responsibility in those upon whom the future welfare of the race is to rest. "All know that the old-time cabin is passing and that the homes of the colored people must be made as sanitary, as attractive, and as inspirational to family life as are the homes of any other civilized race. It is a fact that colored girls today come from homes that range from the poorest to the best, and that they come to their home economics work with corresponding backgrounds of experience. "When determining the sort of home economics course that is to be offered, it is necessary to know very definitely the amount of preparation that the teachers have had and their ability to carry on the work. The limitations in the educational opportunity of the colored people are nowhere more apparent than in the preparation of their teachers. This is particularly true of the teachers of home economics, most of whom have had a meager elementary education, a still more limited secondary education, and a normal training of a few weeks in summer school, or, at best, a few months of practice teaching in conjunction with a secondary course. "Two-year normal courses are being offered today, but it will be many years before the home economics teachers who finish such courses will be sufficient in number to supply the demand for teachers of home economics in all the city schools and in the county training schools of the South. Fewer by far are the colored teachers of home economics who have earned a college degree. There is an increasingly large number of young colored women who are completing courses in the colored colleges of the South. Majors, however, in home economics have not been offered in these colleges. At the same time the occasional graduate of a Northern college seldom finds her way back to Southern schools, and even then her course may have prepared her inadequately for the conditions which she has to face in her every-day work within and without the class room. "For many years to come home economics courses must be so planned that they can be effectively taught by teachers who have been trained in the industrial schools. They are capable of doing good work and great numbers of them are doing effective work all over the South. Their work can be strengthened by wise supervision and by increased opportunities for summer school courses and other forms of advance study. Probably no class of teachers is more eager for opportunity for self-improvement than these women who are so intimately acquainted with the conditions of their own people, and who feel the needs so keenly and their own inadequacy so greatly. The industrial school has given them fundamental training which every girl needs, and without which our home economics course will never be successful. This fundamental training in better living is the greatest need of the colored girl, for upon it the improvement of the home depends." Please permit me to introduce myself to you as a minister-at-large, mostly with a typewriter for a pulpit of the real Gospel complete of the real Christ divine of the real Christ-built church universal, internal and invisible. I am a Caucasian of the purest blood and the blondest type, but I would be less ashamed of my race and color if I were an Ethiopian. But even as an Ethiopian I would be very much ashamed of the American Ethiopian's generally supine and unresting submission to white trampling and outrage. Yet even this shame belongs primarily to pusillanimous mollycoddles of my race and color, whose good intentions are such as hell is paved with, who are well meaning and unintentional but only the more real and disastrous betrayers of the blacks, and are on the whole and in the ultimate more dangerous to the blacks than white lynchers of black men and ravishers of black women. The simple, awful, ominous truth of the Gospel epistle herewith cannot be honestly questioned intelligently. I am mailing carbon copies of it to a select list of periodical publications of both races and to prominent individuals of several races. Publish this special letter also if you choose—and can summon the courage to do so. Lifelong invalidism and physical isolation from the blacks, now conjoined with approaching age, may continue to deny me absolute martyrdom for the sacred and vital principle of the universal fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man, which is the chief cornerstone of the democratic Christianity of the single real Christ-built church which is so utterly opposed to the aristocratic churchianity of the many man-made, make-believe "churches." Yet even as I am situated I have sacrificed and suffered not a little for Christ in my brethren of color. Yours for fearing "no ill but sin, no being but Almighty God." WM. H. WILGUS. P. S. I am also taking the liberty to enclose you herewith a carbon copy of a little later Gospel epistle of mine on another menacing phase of race antagonism. OUST TULSA CHIEF ON JURY'S ADVICE. Race Riot Investigators Indict Five of Police, Seven Civilians. Tulsa, Okla, June 25 (By the Associated Press).—Grand jury investigation of the recent race riots here led today to the return of indictments against seven civilians and five of the city police, including Chief John Gustafson. Previously, about ninety indictments had been returned. Attorney General Preeling told the court he could not fully concur in the jury's findings, believing accusations should have been made against other officials and alleged rioters. Chief Gustafson and the four policemen are charged with conspiracy to dispose of stolen automobiles, and the chief in addition is charged with failure to enforce the prohibition law, failure to suppress vice and failure to enforce the law against carrying firearms. On request of the grand jury and the attorney general, District Judge Valjean Biddison immediately ordered the suspension of Chief Gustafson from office and all the accused policemen were suspended pending trial. The final report of the grand jury found that no attempt had been made to lynch Dick Rowland, colored, and that the armed colored men were responsible for the riot. The seven civilian indictments were against alleged rioters and looters in connection with the race trouble. All orders promptly attended to. Prices reasonable. Phone Col. 9572-W 2533½ 15th St. N. W.

J., June 24 (By the Associated Press)—"Dr." D. D. Murphy, colored leader of a religious a known as "the Live and Never Die," was shot dead this afternoon in a room on the third floor of a house on Disston Avenue after holding two score of policemen armed with revolvers off for several hours. Two policemen and a woman, Elizabeth Chepelle, colored, were wounded by Murphy before he was shot. For three hours the police, assisted by two companies of firemen, poured bullets and water into the small frame building where Murphy had taken refuge, while a crowd of thousands watched the battle. Shortly after 3 o'clock detectives edged their way into the ground floor of the house, while policemen sent a hail of bullets into the three windows of the third floor. Making his way up the stairs, Detective McDowell saw a form in the dim light, but before he could pull the trigger of his pistol there was a flash and a bullet whistled past his ears. He fired, and the body of Murphy, with smoking pistol still clasped in his hand, fell down the steps into his arms. Murphy was being held in police court on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses when suddenly he dashed from the courtroom and began shooting. Police pursued him to the Disston Avenue house. NEGRO MESSENGER AWARDED ORDER OF BRITISH EMPIRE- To Charles F. M.

The Universal Coal Company, Inc., is to hold a banquet at the White-law Hotel, July 1st, at 8 p. m., in honor of the Washington clergy. Invitations have been set out, to all the local clergy, irrespective of denominations, and each minister has been supplied with two extra invitations, which may be reissued, to any two of his deacons or trustees. It is expected that this affair will be one of the most important social events ever held in honor of the local clergy. The speakers will be selected from the following: President King of Liberia, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Attorney Armond Scott, Rev. Earnest Lyons of Baltimore, Md., and Rev. Emory B. Smith. I want every man, woman and child who suffers with Fits, Epilepsy or Falling Sickness, to send at once for a free bottle of my famous treatment, or to send a bottle of so-called cures offered, or how many so-called cures you have used without results, do not give up until you try this treatment. Don't send me a penny. Simply give me your name, age, and address and I will send you by return mail, all charges paid, a free bottle of LEPSO. Then you can prove to yourself, entirely at my expense, just what this famous author wrote. I will tell you that other sufferers state that LEPSO has brought them complete freedom from this terrible affliction and I offer to send it free, you surely owe it to yourself and to your loved ones to give it a trial. Mrs. Delia, the author, died sixteen years after she took the first dose of LEPSO. Mrs. Paul Gram says she suffered for over fourteen years, that doctors and medicine did her well, and that she lived a selfless life when she heard of LEPSO.
