SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF LIBERIAN REPUBLIC. The Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Liberia was celebrated in Washington Tuesday evening, July 26, by President Charles Dunbar Burgess King and the members of the Liberian Plenary Commission at the Legation Headquarters, 1317 R Street Northwest. The rooms of the Legation Headquarters, including the dining rooms, were decorated with a Liberian flag which ran the whole length of the building, together with the President's official flag and numberless flags of the United States of America. President King and the members of the commission invited to celebrate with them a number of representative colored Americans of Washington and Baltimore, including many who have been their hosts upon various occasions during their stay in America since March of this year. President King presided and proposed a toast to the health of the President of the United States to which toast he, himself, responded. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell proposed a toast to the health of the President of the Republic of Liberia. Toasts were proposed and responded to also by Justice F. E. R. Johnson, of the Liberian Supreme Court; Hon. Gabriel L. Johnson, Mayor of Monrovia, Liberia; Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul-General, with residence Baltimore, Md., and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of the Howard University, who responded to the toast, "Our Brothers Across the Sea." The menu served the guests was as follows: Olives, salted almonds, alligator pears, crab-flake gumbo, curled toast, chicken filet, a la Ailsa, broiled rock fish, egg sauce, brown bread, broiled young Rhode Island duckling, apple --- The Washington Br sauce, broiled tomatoes, corn pudding, fresh lima beans, rolls, quartered lettuce, Russian dressing, patte de foie gras in aspec, crackers, frozen custard, fruit syrup, cakes, coffee. Guests Invited. President Harding Sends Greetings. The following letter from President Harding was read at the dinner: July 25, 1921 The White House, Washington. My Dear Mr. President: It affords me signal pleasure to extend cordial felicitations on this, the anniversary of the Proclamation of Liberian Independence. There has never lacked in this country a deep interest in the peace, independence and prospirity of the Republic of Liberia, and I am only true to sentiments a century old in WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY. AUGUST 6, 1921 offering, Mr. President, to you and your countrymen, the best of wishes for the welfare and progress of your country. I am particularly glad to be able to extend these felicitations at a moment when you are a welcomed visitor in the United States. Yours sincerely, (Signed) Warren G. Harding. To The Honorable Charles Dunbar Burgess King, President of the Republic of Liberia. President King Responds. President King's response which follows was read and also letters and telegrams from the Liberian Consul-General in Paris, France, and the Liberian Colony of the City of New York. I hasten to thank you most sincerely for your cordial felicitations extended on this the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of Liberia's Independence. I can assure Your Excellency that such sentiments emanating from the Chief Executive of the Great Republic—of which Liberia is a proud offspring—and coming just at this momentous period in our national life, will serve as an inspiration to the government and the people of Liberia who have been endeavoring single handedly for the past three quarters of a century to maintain on the continent of Africa a nation established upon those principles of democracy for which your great nation has always stood as the chief exponent and protector. With sentiments of high esteem and regard, believe me, my dear Mr. President, Very sincerely yours, (Signed) C. D. B. King. To the Honorable Warren G. Harding, President of the United States of America. COLORED RESORT SCENE OF CONFUSION. Owing to the lack of space to accommodate a large number of open-air pleasure seekers at the Pleasure Park, 50th and Hayes Streets, opposite the National Training School for Girls, the great congestion caused no little confusion and apprehension. In this congested condition all sorts of propaganda, either for amusement, entertainment, or otherwise, was afloat. Some said a riot was in progress. Instantly some of the women screamed, some fainted; and others ran in a mad rush for the street cars. More than 10,000 people were in attendance and 1,000 automobiles were parked in the street. The excitement became so great that fifty men from the fifth, sixth, and ninth precincts were dispatched to the scene. These officers showed much poise and consideration in view of the unusual condition. They tried to be helpful in adjusting the difficulty so as to prevent further trouble. No arrests were made. One step upward for the police department. This condition at the park is no reason for its close, as is usually the argument of the narrow minded. It was wholly due to lack of space and amusement for the crowd, but it is a very strong reason for the opening of a commodious pleasure park on the order of Glen Echo or Chesapeake Beach for the colored American who seeks the open during the season of intense heat, where the possibility for a repetition of such a congestion would be impossible. UNION WESLEY NOTES. ALEXANDER MEMORIAL CHURCH NEWS. The Alexander Memorial Church closed its thirteenth anniversary ex- Activity ercises Sunday night, the 31st instant. Many of the church units, represented by their chairmen, made addresses and presented financial gifts. The Daughters of Moses were present, and through their president spoke of their organization, the church, and the excellent work accomplished by their pastor, Rev. Mr. Frazier, who has only served his people three years, and during that time raised over ten thousand dollars. The units contributing to the fund raised for the pastor in testimony of their loyalty and love, are the following: Mite 'Society, Deacons' Board, B. Y. P. U., the Sunday School and the "Daughters of Moses." One hundred and fifteen dollars was presented to this servant of God, in commemoration of the third anniversary of his service as pastor over his flock. In a few touching remarks he and his excellent wife thanked the people. Afterward the Day Nursery, Dr. Milton J. Waldron, president, was presented to the people by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Frazier, and they were asked to contribute for its maintenance. The executive secretary, Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, had previously presented the pressing needs of the nursery. A collection was taken up and handed to the secretary; who was present, with the promise that the church would contribute from time to time. Dr. Goler, the financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church, preached an excellent sermon Sunday morning from the text, "Enter Ye In At the Straight Gate." We are always glad to see Dr. Goler. Mr. Andrew D. Owens, superintendent of the public schools of Maryland, has returned home after his very successful work in the summer school in Louisville, Ky. We were pleased to see him at his old post in Union Wesley Sunday morning. The Christian Endeavor choir of the church sang at the vesper services of the Y. W. C. A. Sunday afternoon, the 31st ultimo. This choir is a great help to the church. It will do greater work in the future under such leadership as Mrs. Mary E. Williams. The ushers under their president, Mr. Henry Johnson, have their work well in hand. They are watched and ever ready to make one comfortable and at home in this dear old church. The Sunday School is so crowded that several of the classes have to be taught in the main auditorium. This, together with the increased attendance at the church services, shows the great need and necessity for more space. Let us hasten the effort being made by our pastor to enlarge our church. Be like the sons of the prophets, who said: "Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee, is too straight for us." . . . "Let us go, we pray thee, and let us make a place where we may dwell." The insistence of these young people, the sons of the prophets, enabled the preacher Elisha, to make iron swim. The first time such an event ever happened. So our quarters are too small. We are making human iron swim, through our pastor, Dr. Jones, but with an enlarged edifice the lives of many more men and women, boys and girls, will be changed for Christ, and swim on the spiritual sea. Mrs. Wormley, W. C. T. U. president, and Mrs. Owens, president of the Missionary Society, work together so earnestly and lovingly in the Master's vineyard. INSTALLATION OF COMMUNITY CENTER OFFICERS. Birney Public School Community Center held a very enthusiastic meeting Monday night. Attorney John H. Wilson was chairman of the committee on installation, and also mas- ter of ceremonies. The retiring community secretary, Mrs. Rachel Steward; community president, Mr. Solomon Fosque, and Miss M. Butler, treasurer, made reports on the splendid work accomplished through the past year in the center. It evidenced how much good can be accomplished through this branch with team workers. Rev. J., W. Pace, recently elected pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Anacostia, D. C., was the speaker of the evening. His remarks, based on co-operation, were timely, well poised and forceful. He is a young oak, but bids fair to be one of the giant oaks of the forest. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, community secretary, Garnet Phelps Center, spoke on "What Community Service Can Accomplish," and installed the officers. The following persons were inducted into office: Mrs. Helen E. Wells, Community Secretary; Mrs. Louise B. Frye, President; Mrs. B. G. Parks, Vice President; Mrs. M. E. Ellis, Recording Secretary; Mr. Ivory Brown, Treasurer. A very pleasing vocal and instrumental musical program was presented. Mr. C. Dodson of Community Band gave several solos. Refreshments were served all at the close of the exercises. THE FAITH HEALER. Among the many great pictures which the Howard Theater has been able to obtain for the public's pleasure at this theater, none has been produced recently that carries a stronger appeal to every class than the George Melford production, "The Faith Healer," which will be shown here next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It is a screen version of the play of the same name by William Vaughn Moody. It reflects in a truly splendid way the spirit and action of the stage play. Milton Sills, who plays the principal male role, that of the faith healer himself, will be remembered for his splendid work in "Behold My Wife," shown here recently. "The Faith Healer" is an inspiring picture. It is a great picture—great because it is so human. It is great because of the men and women who play the principal roles. Great because of the beautiful scenes and settings of the fidelity of life and to nature. Some photoplays are "thrillers." Some are made to bare plain facts. Some are visions of color and beauty. This one is all of these things—and more. A picture destined to rank as one of the greatest entertainments the screen has yet to produce. HOWARD STRENGTHENS ITS FACULTIES. The faculties of the Howard University are to be strengthened next year by a number of very important additions, the trustees voting to expand and strengthen the work of the University in several important particulars. Dr. A. B. Jackson, Surgeon-in-Chief of the Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia, Penn., will become Professor of Hygiene and Public Health in the School of Medicine, and will also have charge of Hygiene instruction in the academic departments of the University. This is the beginning of a program looking forward to the establishment of a School of Public Health and Hygiene, of which Dr. Jackson will be director. Mr. Wesley Howard, who is at this time taking special studies in France, is to be assigned as an instructor in the School of Music. Dr. Allen Scott Wolfe and Dr. Lewis J. Weinstein, of Washington, D. C., are to be connected with the School of Medicine; giving special instruction in Dentistry. Dr. William Clark Gordon, a leading Congregational minister of Ware, Mass., has been offered a professorship in the School of Religion. Mr. Charles Eaton Burch, who has done considerable writing during the past few years for leading magazines of the country and who has a couple of books on the press, is giving up his work at Wilberforce University to become Assistant Professor in the Department of English of the School of Liberal Arts. Mr. C. U. Turpin, who recently graduated from the School of Commerce and Finance of Columbia University, is to teach in the Howard University School of Commerce and Finance next year. Miss B. Beatrix Scott, of Alton, Illinois, who has done special work in Chemistry, has been appointed as Instructor in the Department of Chemistry. FAIRMONT HEIGHTS IM- PROVEMENT LEAGUE The Fairmont Heights Improvement League has recently had Clark Avenue improved. The work is not yet completed, and the residents of Clark Avenue are bestirring themselves to get money to complete the work. $70.65 has already been raised, and it is hoped that persons living on this beautiful street and have not yet given anything toward work, will do so at once. The League will give a lawn fete on the beautiful lawn of Mr. Willie Jones, August 15, at which time they hope to raise money enough to complete the work. The ladies on Clark Avenue have formed committees to have charge of the lawn'fete, and give their friends an enjoyable evening. They plan to have dancing to enliven the occasion. FEDERAL ATTORNEY ACTS IN ALLEGED PEON CASE Atlanta Counsel Asks Writ of Habeas Corpus for Negro Boy He Atlanta, August 4.—A new legal step to stop alleged peonage was taken in Atlanta when Hooper Alexander, United States district attorney, went before Federal Judge Samuel A. Sibley to ask for a write of habeas corpus for Dave Worthy, a Negro boy, who he charged was about to be forced into slavery in Pike county. Mr. Alexander asked for the writ in the name of the United States Government. This is an unusual procedure, and was taken by the district attorney only after he had consulted with the Attorney General of the United States and obtained his advice and authority for such a step. Judge Sibley set next Saturday as the date for a hearing, when Detective Chief L. Lamar Poole, who has Worthy in his custody, or the sheriff of Pike County, at whose direction the police arrested Worthy, or Worthy's former employer, L. E. Millsaps, who swore out the warrant for Worthy's arrest, must come before the court and show why the writ that will set Worthy at liberty should not be granted. VISITOR TO BEE OFFICE. Mr. G. Emonei Carter, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Miami, Fla., was a visitor to the office of The Bee on last Monday. He speaks highly of the Y. M. C. A. work of Florida. COLORED MUSIC STORE Deserving Your Trade. Choirs, Churches, Teachers and Students. Tell Others, But Let's Make Friends First. ADAMS MUSIC HOUSE, 1911 9th Street N. W. (Copyright 1921. All Rights Reserved) William had spent his four years in college, and Jim his four in prison. John Elliot had told Aunt Katy that William was not yet to return to the plantation, but would go direct from college to France, where he would live with his aunt, Madam Dupree, and study for a year or two. But Jim was coming home, and Aunt Katy and Essie, and Mary, who was now nearly fifteen years old, were preparing to receive him. In spite of what Aunt Katy had told her, Essie still loved Jim, and Aunt Katy loved him, too. He was a part of their lives. Had he not been their boy from babyhood? And, with all his waywardness, he had been affectionate and obedient to Aunt Katy and Essie, and to the beautiful little Mary he was big brother, worshipful knight and hero. Nearly all his fights and quarrels had been defense of her. In the four years of his absence she had greatly idolized this devoted brother, for she did not share the secret of the older women. Essie loved Jim maternally, but she did not doubt the truth of the confession and disclosure of Aunt Katy. She remembered that while they were in France and before they left New York letters had come from the New Orleans aunt reciting how little "William" would have nothing to do with her at first, and saying that she had to gradually win him from the apron strings of Aunt Katy in the kitchen. The thing was plain on its face, when once you knew it. For there was Jim; angular, pale and tan, phlegmatic and vindicive, while William was, in feature rounded and in color brunette, and sympathetic in disposition. But in spite of all, they loved Jim, and were "killing the fattened calf," as Aunt Katy expressed it, for his return. There is no other mother heart on earth like that which beats with African blood. It can love the children of other mothers, even those of the oppressor, almost as dearly as it loves its own. The colored American mother is, not in mere fiction, but in fact of flesh and blood and effection, the greatest mother in the world. Jim met a royal welcome from these three. Little Mary's father, Sam, was less cordial. He had never liked Jim. When Jim was arrested for fighting on account of Mary, and for defending himself, it was this tale-bearing stepfather who had sneaked around to the Big House. "Ah declare," he told Mr. Elliot, "Ah allus wanted to do my dooty by Jim, but he been de mos' onmannerl- est boy. Ah try to teach him dat if he is a. bright merlatter, he jes' lak' other. n——rs." But he ain't got no re- gards fer, me, an', Ah allus feared his hate 'ginst white fokes gwine git him in trouble. In court Sam had testified: "Ah nuvuer could make dat boy mine me; he wouldn't even go to Sunday School 'cause Ah wuz de Soop'n tinder." But Aunt Katy and Essie welcomed Jim with embraces and tears, while the self-conscious Mary looked on with moist eyes. To her he had always been a hero, and for the last four years she had pictured him in her imagination as bravely enduring some torture for the sake of his "Little Sis," as he called her. the creature whom she now saw in the arms of her mother and grandmother was so different from the creation of her dreams. He was cold, hard and unsentimental. The welcome, which had cost them so much thought, care and pains, did not seem to appeal to him. Indeed, he spoke as if he did not expect to stay with them, but would go afar off. He showed tenderness only when he put him arms about Mary's shoulders and patted her head, saying: "It was all for you, Little Sis." If there be any sentiment in us, we will love those for whom we sacrifice and for whom we suffer. We can love them even better than they can love us; for self-sacrifice is both the cause and the effect of true love. Mother's love is the greatest love in the world because mother lays most upon the sacrificial altar. They prevailed upon him to stay with them. Such true and loving hearts could win even Jim. He seldom talked in the presence of Sam, but when alone with the other three, he would often describe bits of his experiences and observations in the awful state prison, telling of the rapacity and brutality of the guards and keepers. He swore violently whenever anyone called the name of Elliot, so Aunt Katy and Essie and Mary never talked in his presence about the people at the Big House. But Sam, who liked to talk about "de white fokes," would occasionally mention, testingly, "Mr. Ellyut"; at which time Jim would utter an oath and seize his hat and leave the cabin. Jim never spoke to Elliot. Elliot never spoke to Jim. The ex-convict managed to get a job with a neighboring planter, as work was scarce. One day as he was driving a wagon along the road, he met Elliot on horseback. The road was so narrow that even a man on horse could not safely pass a wagon unless the latter drew a bit to the side. Jim drove straight ahead in the middle of the road, ignoring the approach of Elliot, so that he had to turn his horse down a steep embankment to escape the wagon. That evening Sam kept eyeing Jim and hinting about work and wages, finally winding up with: "I jes' happened by de Big House. Our white fokes needs mo' han's and dey pays more'n other white fokes, and Mr. Ellyut tol' me to tell Jim—" "Go to hell!" fairly yelled Jim, as he reached for his hat and walked out. "Ah ain't been to no penitenchery," snarled Sam, "An' ain't had haff his upperchoonity to learn nuthin', but 'Ah got mo' manners dan dat n—er. He a wuss n—er dan he wuz fo' dey sent him off." Meanwhile Mrs. Elliot was receiving long Letters from Madame-Dupree telling of William's arrival in Paris, of his studies and of the fine impression he was making on the French people. When letters came from William, he invariably asked after Essie and her daughter and Aunt Katy. Sometimes he made inquiries about Jim. Mrs. Elliot was in the habit of reading these letters to Aunt Katy in the kitchen or dining room, because of the genuine interest which Aunt Katy manifested in any news from Master William. One day after reading one of these letters, the proud Mrs. Elliot commented: "I tell you, Aunt Katy, although n—er boys don't have the same privilege as white boys, still if they had any ambition to learn and work and do what they can do, they might make their mothers happy instead of causing them so much trouble." Aunt Katy's reply was a speechless gaze, which would have been eloquent had Mrs. Elliot been the wiser. If only white people could read the minds of black people— However, one day Aunt Katy's patience suddenly gave way under the attack which the white woman was continually making on the black grandmother's secret knowledge and firm conviction. "Mis' Elliot," she began, "I don't b'live any mo' in this blood business. If Jim had had the other chile's chance, who knows? I heard you read one day from Master William's letter that there was some colored boys over there from Georgia an' South C'lina, an' that they done as well as anybody in their studies. P'raps those white people over there act different toward colored people and give 'em a better chance. Essie says the for'n white folks in Paris treated her nicer'n her own white folks, treated her, an'——" "Katy!" shouted Mrs. Elliot, dropping the saving grace of "Aunt," while her face reddened and almost burst, "at your age and with the training you have had, you ought to know better. If God had meant for your race to be like white people, he would not have made you black! And I'll bet those n—rs that William spoke of are almost white and have a lot of white blood—" "Lots o' white blood!" shrieked Aunt Katy, "an' so has Jim! He is certainly white, almost!" Her eyes blazed. She was beside herself. She was struggling against some inner urge to disclose some awful history or utter, some terrifying prophecy. Her audacity amazed Mrs. Elliot, who stood paralyzed by anger and wounded pride. Her mind was struggling against the impossible task of conceiving some adequate rebuke when Mary burst in upon them. "Oh, Aunt Katy!" as she called her own grandmother. "Oh, Mis' Elliot! They are after him again—bloodhounds—guns!" Seizing the hand of the excited girl, Aunt Katy made off for the cabin and Essie. As she rushed out, she laughed the uncanny laugh and said: Vengeance of God The yelp of the dogs and a few scattered shots could clearly be heard by Mrs. Elliot, as she stood motionless.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today issued a statement urging every colored man and woman in the United States, as soon as it is announced that the Dyer bill is reported out of committee and is before Congress, to telegraph to his or her representative in Congress urging passage of the federal anti-lynching bill introduced by Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri. There is every prospect that the bill for which the Association has been fighting for more than a year will soon be reported out of committee, and will be ready for consideration by the Congress. This is the first time a federal anti-lynching bill has ever reached so favorable a stage, and there is every possibility, provided colored people throughout the United States and white people who stand for law and order unite in demanding its passage, that it will be enacted into law. As early as January, 1920, representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People attended the hearings of the bill in Washington. Arthur B. Spingarn, vice president of the National Association and chairman of the Legal Committee of the Association, was among those who appeared, as were Archibald H. Grimke, Neval H. Thomas, and Professor George W. Cook of the Washington Branch, and James Weldon Johnson, the national secretary. The bill at that time was not reported out, but a new bill was introduced by Mr. Dyer in May; was favorably reported, and was placed on the calendar of the House of Representatives a few days before the adjournment of the Sixty-sixth Congress. It is substantially the same bill which is now before the House Judiciary Committee. The bill provides: That the putting to death within any state of any person within the jurisdiction of that state by a mob or riotous assemblage of three or more persons openly acting in concert, is an offense against the United States; that every participant in such a mob shall be guilty of murder and liable to prosecution in a District Court of the United States; that every county in which such murder occurs shall be fined $10,000, recoverable in a United States Court; that every state or municipal officer who neglects all reasonable efforts to protect his prisoners shall be liable to prosecution in a District Court of the United States, and may be punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years, or by fine not exceeding $5,000, or both. In making public the present status of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urges that colored people organize so that as soon as the Dyer bill is before Congress, a flood of telegrams, from white people and colored, in every part of the United States will go to every Representative in Congress, urging the passage of the measure. THE GILDED LILY. Mac Murray is back again in her every-popular role of a dancer in her latest picture, "The Gilded Lily," which will be presented at the Howard Theater three days commencing Sunday. In this new picture she is Lillian Drake, hostess of a popular private club in New York, a real Salamander, the kind that Owen Johnson revealed several years ago in a startling novel as the kind of a girl who can take everything from men and give nothing in return. All Lillian longs for is to leave her old life and be married, and her struggle until she achieves her ambition is intensely interesting. There is a smashing and surprising climax. NIGHT RIDERS ON TAR AND FEATHER RAMPAGE IN SOUTHERN STATES. Shreveport, La., July 22.-Mrs. Beulah Johnson was taken from the porch of a hotel at Tenaha, Tex., stripped, tarred and feathered, according to advices reaching here today. The attack on Mrs. Johnson was made by masked men wearing white uniforms. They drove up to the hotel in three automobiles, displayed firearms and took the young woman into one of the cars. The automobiles proceeded to a point several miles in the country where Mrs. Johnson's clothing was removed and she was given a coat of tar and feathers. She was then placed into the automobile and returned to the town. Mrs. Johnson, who claims to have been working at the hotel as a maid and cook, says she did not know any of the men in the party. Beating of a man named McKnight of Nacogo Doches, Tex., by masked men at Timpson, a nearby town, also is reported here. MASKED MEN WHIP WOMAN AND TWO MEN. Victims Carried 10 Miles Into Country, Declare Birmingham Police. Birmingham, Ala., July 23 (By the Associated Press).—Two men and a woman were taken from their homes in an automobile, taken 10 miles into the country and severely whipped. The police were first informed of the whippings by C. C. Cooley, 47 years old, a butcher, who admitted he had been whipped by masked men, but declined to give particulars. The authorities were informed earlier in the night that Cooley had been seized by five masked men, handcuffed and taken away in a motor car, and had spent two hours in investigations when the man returned. On being questioned, police say, he stated that he had been taken into the country for ten miles, that another man and a woman, whom he did not know, were occupants of the same car, and that all three were whipped by their captors. The woman was later located by the police and identified as Mrs. J. W. Alexander, a widow, they announced late tonight. According to officers, Cooley told them that after the whipping the assailants drove away, leaving their victims. Cooley then walked some distance to a telephone and called a taxi-cab from Birmingham, which brought the three back to the city, the other man and Mrs. Alexander leaving the cab before it reached Cooley's place of business. Cooley, officers say, declares that he was warned some time ago to leave the community within two weeks, but that he ignored the warning, thinking it was a joke. The two weeks expired today, he told the police. KU KLUX ADMITS TARRINGS Third Feather-Coated Victim of Masked Texans Set Free in City. Beaumont, Tex., July 28.-The Beaumont local of the Ku Klux Klan today sent,long letters to both newspapers here in which they assume full responsibility for the recent beating, tarring and feathering of J. S. Paul, local physician, and R. F. Scott, marine corps veteran, of Deweyville. The communication bore the official seal of the order and contained more than 4,000 words as an explanation of the two attacks. Lufkin, Tex., July 23.—George Lee, a service car driver, last night became the third victim within a week of masked bands. He was unloaded from an automobile in the heart of the city about 10 o'clock, clothed only with a generous coat of tar and feathers. Atlanta, Ga., July 23.—The charter of the Beaumont branch of the Ku Klux Klan will be immediately revoked, Col. W. J. Simmons, imperial wizard, declared here today, when informed that press dispatches stated the Beaumont klan had openly assumed full responsibility for the recent beating, tarring and feathering of J. S. Paul and R. F. Scott. WHO RUNS THIS WORLD? Does man really run it? Or does woman only let hmi think so? An age-old question, but new with every marriage, and when Sir James Barrie put it in a play—you know the fame of that play. You know the fame Maude Adams gained through it. Here it is produced exactly as Barrie wrote it, with every bit of its comedy, its pathos, its whimsicality, its truth, its human revelations. And it is one of the greatest and most impressive entertainments the screen has ever produced. This is William De Mille's production, "What Every Woman Knows," with Conrad Nagal and Lois Wilson. It will be shown three days beginning Wednesday. Saturday will be shown May McAvoy in "A Private Scandal." It is the story of a little French girl, a terrible predicament, a wonderful samriffice and a fitting reward. JEWS SPEAK FOR JUSTICE. (From the Jewish Monthly Magazine for July.)

California is the leader among the states in the movement, that is now nation-wide, for the complete cessation of immigration to America of all peoples inaleniable to citizenship. Every happening such as that at Livingston or Turlock materially injures our cause and sets us back tremendously. The people of California will insist upon the due observance of the rights of the Japanese and other aliens now resident in California." Here was a characteristic exhibition of the mob spirit: At a time the most delicate and important in the relations between the Japanese government and the government of the United States; with the whole question approaching discussion at a world conference called by the President of the United States; with world affairs more or less involved, a gang of men in California in defiance of law and common sense, commit an outrage on unoffending Japanese and put an affront on their own country. Promptly and emphatically Gov. Stephens rebukes the lawbreakers and warns them against any reptition of the offense. There is no feature of the strained relations between America and Japan which cannot be remedied by conferences held in a spirit of mutual good will. Such conferences are now in progress; and responsible men in both countries are supporting by their applause and sympathies every effort being made to prevent a rupture between two countries which are constituted for friendship, and both of which would lose heavily at this time in any appeal to arms. BATHING BEACHES AND SEGREGATION. (From the Chicago Enterprise.) Some of the Chicago daily papers have attempted to make it appear that another race riot was averted here Friday on the lake front at 29th street. It was only another case of "Yellow Journalism." They said that this beach has been used by whites and that Negroes made an effort to take it for their use. Such perfidy. Why should such lies be published? Why is it that both races can't live in harmony together on the beaches or anywhere else? Why should any sensible person believe that segregation will avert racial friction? Some of the Chicago daily paper appear that another race riot was a front at 29th street. It was only a malism."

One thing is certain, Negroes in at the Chicago daily papers have attempted another race riot was averted here Friday on street.

We have no better sense than to call which exemplify the spirit of "Democracy that word but we can force the people who, so much live up to it in the full sense of the off." One thing is certain, Negroes in Chicago and all over America for that matter have proved that they are cool headed. They don't make attacks on white people unless there is cause for it. They don't invite trouble and never have. But the other race cannot say as much. Right here in Chicago there are many neighborhoods where we cannot go without fear of being molested even when we are on errands for white employers. Many times it has been known that white men put their children up to call some member of the race a "nigger" in hopes that it would be resented so trouble might ensue. Tactics like these are done also on our beaches by these "savage Americans" with blood in their eyes—just anxious to harm people because they are black. There are the things that true-blooded Americans unhyphenated must swallow in a Democracy. But every dog has his day. Harm is intended by these acts but some good always come out of them. They merely bring us closer together, thereby forcing race solidarity among us. Every time a Colored American is lynched, segregated or jim-crowed some punishment is heaped upon the offenders many fold. There is no way of beating the "law of compensation." As to segregated bathing beaches in Chicago they will never have our approval. We have no better sense than to condone only those qualities which exemplify the spirit of "Democracy." We did not coin that word but we can force the people who did and who love to use it so much live up to it in the full sense of the word or we call their "bluff." --- "THE BEAM."

The Conviction of Labor Organizers Sacco and Vanzetti. (Special to The Washington Bee.) The conviction of the labor organizers, Sacco and Vanzetti of the murder of the paymaster and guard employed by the Slater and Morrill Shoe Company, at South Braintree, Mass., on April 15, brings before the public in striking form the danger of circumstantial evidence and the brutality of our capital punishment laws. No one of course except Sacco and Vanzetti themselves know whether they are guilty or not. They have both protested their innocence earnestly, and apparently sincerely. The evidence against them is entirely of a circumstantial nature, and in many respects of the flimsiest character. The public prosecutor, in his charge to the jury, was several times called to account for mis-statements of facts, which he was forced to admit. The character of the prisoners was attacked on various grounds entirely foreign to the crime with which they were charged. The fact that they were labor organizers, their alleged war record, their foreign birth, and many other extraneous matters were stressed very forcibly, and while Judge Thayer properly charged the jury to disregard any evidence in relation to these matters, it is impossible to imagine, human nature being as it is, that the jury was not influenced, perhaps unconsciously, by these references. In any event, the men were convicted of a capital crime, and unless their appeal is granted, will go to the electric chair, on evidence of an entirely circumstantial nature. Time and again the weakness of circumstantial evidence has been demonstrated. Hardly a day passes that does not give us ample proof of the misleading character of circumstantial evidence, even in regard to the little things of life; and it is a disgrace to our civilization that convictions should be allowed on evidence of this character. It may be true that direct evidence is frequently unavailable, but we should do well to remember the admonition that it is better for ninety-nine guilty men to escape than it is to punish one innocent individual. Humanity has forgotten this admonition. The spirit of it has almost entirely disappeared from our legal processes, and the hardening effect of this gradual drift is bad for us all. Capital punishment, moreover, is a relic of barbarism. It is contrary to all the ethics of Christianity. It is contrary to the legal principle that restitution should be made for legal mistakes—for there is no possible reparation after the electric chair has done its work—and it has been conclusively proved that it is contrary to the best interests of society. Furthermore, so long as we admit the legal principle that a man has no power over his own life, we cannot honestly contend that society has the right to take the lives of others. Capital punishment is a blot upon our civilization and a disgrace to our vaunted Christianity and humanity. It should be wiped off the statute books of every state in the Union. Perhaps the effort to save Sacco and Vanzetti from the electric chair will lead to this result. If so, their suffering and the agony of their families will not have been in vain. In any event, it is to be hoped that the most strenuous effort will be made to bring about a reversal of the verdict against them, and that all those who have a sense of justice in their souls will lend their support to this effort. J. A. H. HOPKINS. N. A. A. C. P. RIGHTS INJUSTICE TO COLORED SOLDIERS. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with offices at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, through its National Secretary, James Weldon Johnson, has announced the receipt of a letter from the Adjutant-General of the War. Department of the rectification of a letter in connection with the dishonorable discharge of Arthur K. Bird, a colored soldier of Company L, 58th Infantry. According to Mr. Johnson's statement, Arthur K. Bird, on February 1, 1921, upon the solicitation of a recruiting sergeant at Providence, R. I., reenlisted in the army after having been honorably discharged recently from the 156th Depot Brigade, a colored organization. Mr. Bird called the attention of a clerk that he had been erroneously listed as a white man. The clerk changed his designation under the heading "race" to "colored." Mr. Bird is of such fair complexion as to be easily mistaken for a white man. In spite of this correction, Mr. Bird was sent to the 58th Infantry at Camp Lewis, Washington. Upon arrival at the camp, he found that the 58th Infantry was a white organization, and again notified his command- ing officer that he was not a white man. He was thereupon assigned, to special duty. Later, Mr. Bird was dishonorably discharged, the reason being assigned as "fraudulent enlistment." In April this case was referred to the National Office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, after Mr. Bird had been unable to secure correction of the error. The National Office took the matter immediately with the War Department, demanding a thorough investigation and a correction of the injustice done to Mr. Bird, and the investigation proved him to be right in his contention. A letter dated July 25th, from P. C. Harris, Adjutant General, states that: Harris, Adjutant General, states that "After an investigation of these circumstances connected with the enlistment of the soldier, it was been determined that he was erroneously discharged on the date and at the place mentioned. Upon request, Mr. Bird had forwarded his discharge certificate to this office, which certificate has been canceled, and in lieu thereof, a certificate, showing that he is entitled to be regarded as having been honorably discharged the military service has been prepared and forwarded this day to him."

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that the receipts to date of its fund for the relief and legal defense of the Tulsa riot victims amounted to $2,248.87. In connection with the announcement that funds were being distributed through a local committee of the Association in conjunction with the recognized Tulsa Colored Citizens' Committee, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issued a warning to the public that frauds were being committed by people traveling over the country and soliciting funds, alleging that they were working for the relief of the Tulsa riot victims.

Gwe a) ee ee Sa if * ié CRT PRECRRVATION _ é In the early history of this country our forefathers organized ‘and* banded themselves together for mutual protection against the enemy whether it be man or beast, © <5 This was noteworthy. No one ever-thought of accusing them in their effort. in, the direction of being.guflty of condonitig crime: History repeats itself. “The colored Americans, like their fore- fathers of by-gone days, are doing ‘the same thing that they did because. of their growing consciousness. They are-in the throes of an awful crisis. They stand on the brink of a dangerous precipice. Behind him are the. dizzy depths. of brutal slavery with all of its beastly attendants. Above are overhanging the ugly, jagged rocks of race misunderstanding, and accordingly race hatred, which threaten through violence to crush the.very life out of him. Little or no effort is being made to, understand that colored Americans are human and as such they simply seek. the right to live on a higher and’ ever higher plane of civilization as human beings do. Before them stands the.almost impassible barrier of King Lynch, beyond which they may not go singly and live, guilty or innocent. ‘What are they to do? ‘Stand openly when attacked without resisting this king of beasts? Tulsa thought otherwise. They discovered that no:amount of: reasonable protection would save them from. the clutches of King Lynch. That either they must: fall back-over the precipice into the depths below .of organize as our forefathers had done for mutual defense. The latter course they pursued: This. is the course which the ignorant construe as condoning crime.. The colored Americans ‘condone’ no crime.. They simply desire justice before the law.’ They. desire not to have an innocent man punished for another’s' guilt. Don’t misconstrue them. Trust them. They would-enteftain nothing but contemp for any one of any race who would dare start sométhing which would be a trouble-breeder at this time when everybody should be working for the cooperation ‘of the different races of the world. THE WHITE WOMAN’S PART IN INTERRACIAL PEACE Life reduced to primeval things consists'of bread and brde. “Much of what we call racial antagonism is nothing more than 2 fierce competition for these first things of life. What every woman knows, is that she exercises a far-reaching- influence over the men. What America is, our American women Have helped to fashion it so. At. certain’ dark hours in’ the life of this nation’ it looks as-though America like a stranded ship.is being pounded to death on the rocks of racial antagonism. . sai? If América fails, it will be because the American woman has failed.-. The blackest crime. in America are justified in the name of protection of white womanhood.. Teri thousand Colored Americans at Tulsa were robbed and stripped of all they possessed and herded together like sheep; because one*white woman was hysterical at the wrong time, Back behind all rioting and lynching is the thought that the women of the white race need specal protection other thar gianted ‘by the-laws of our land. The white women of this land can render America a great’pratiotic service by insisting that the laws now on our statute books are adequate to protect them. _ |The white-woman, coming in. contact with the dark race, is in position to be a:conciliator between the two races. She can magnify thé things. that promote racial understanding. and minimize the’ things that cfeate misunderstanding. ‘Our own’ women ‘have again and again shown that restraint and forbearance and charity that have sfeguarded the peace. of many communities, yet their. provocations were not imaginary, but real and painful. “Ifthe white women of America would war.on lynching it would be wiped out of this, our land. _But as long as the men who make up a mob are-regarded.as heroes by their women, this lawlessness will go on even though we have a federal law against it. The white women of the South owe.a debt-of gratitude to the Colored American race, they can never pay. When the white man- hood of ‘the South was completely mobilized for its defense, yet we all know the loyalty to trust that the Colored American universally showed. 52s a _ By the divine law of. reaping as one sows, if the white woman is not moved to yproot ‘the crimes, done. in her name, if ever the scales are turned, God help her!

They haven't even been here long enough to know that this cannot be done. The Bee gives notice that you must come with other qualifi- cations than those of being a carpet bagger and having the gift of gab to lead the women of the District of Columbia.

The nfatter quoted bythe Asian Review’ was press publicity matter sent ‘out to the foreign ’press of the world by the New York office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. ° ‘ Aue fe “Tt-is an indelible stain,” the editorial continues, “on the name of America that in this enlightened age such crimes should take place publicly and the offenders go unpunished. It-goes to demonstrate the utter caliousniess of hearts of the American public. Lynching is possible in the United States because the spirit of America is in favor of it. If this were not true this foul crime would never have grown to its present proportions nor would any of the more than 3,000 lynchings during the past thirty-two years have taken place.” - ~. ‘The'-editorial concludes by saying that creation of & strong public opinion throughout the world. will be necessary “in order to bring sufficient pressure to bear on, the American government ta adopt effective measures at oncg so as to make'it impossible for'the American mobs to resort to these barbarous excesses.” ” : : ————— In the District of Columbia there is established a headquarters to fight “Lily-Whitims throughout. the country.

In the cool afternoon hours of last Monday, as the refreshing zephyr plays hide and seek with one another, a quiet but beautifully simple wedding took place at the residence of Rev. L. D. Best, 1336 R Street: The occasion was the marriage of his beloved daughter, Belt; to Captain Virgil H. Parks, of the 367th Infantry, of New York. The ceremony was a novel one, in that the father of the bride performed the double duty of giving the bride to her future husband and of uniting the happy pair in holy wedlock. The guests present were Mrs. Mary Best, Mrs. J. W. Hardwick, Miss Eva A. Chase, of the Washington Bee, Mrs. F. H. Newton, Mr. Edward Lewis Green. The bridal party, accompanied by Mrs. Hardwick, will spend their honeymoon in Lexington, Kentucky, the birthplace of the bride. The bride was educated in the public schools of the District of Columbia, and is the widow of the late Lawyer Scipio Baker, of New York. As Mrs. Baker, she proved herself a thorough business woman and financier. Capt. Virgil H. Parks, the groom, was born in Winchester, Ky., in 1882, and was educated in the Bourbon County, Ky., high school and Berea University. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War he enlisted in the famous 10th U. S. cavalry, and saw active service at San Juan Hill, Cuba, and other engagements of the war. After being discharged he came to Wash- ington, D. C., and secured a position in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. In 1906, after the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act, he was appointed to the position of Federal Meat Inspector and assigned to duty at Newark, N. J. After two year's service he was appointed as Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, Second New York District, under Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, who was then collector of that district, he having been appointed by President Roosevelt. Upon the entrance of the United States into the late war, Mr. Parks was commissioned Captain in the famous 15th Infantry, New York National Guard, otherwise known as Colonel Heyward's "Hell Fighters," and at present holds that rank and grade, being very active in organization work. He is also executive officer of the 115th Regiment Cadet Corps of New York, an organization of over 900 colored American boys taking military, physical and disciplinary training under the compulsory military training law of the State of New York. Mrs. N. B. Grooms, of Baltimore, has as her house-guest Mrs. Sadie R. Nelson, of this city. *** Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Johns and nieces, Mrs. C. J. Kreigler and Mrs. A. J.

Four captains have been changed and several other officers have been transferred. According to Capt. James F. Oyster, these changes have been made for the good of the police force, and it is said that several more are to be made. It is truly hoped that these changes will have a good effect. It is also hoped that an investigation will be made into the methods employed in several precincts in the treatment of prisoners. One of the most heathenest is that of beating prisoners over the head with black jacks after they have been taken within, the precincts, sometimes for no cause whatever. This should be stopped. If those in authority would look into such a thing would not occur. It is hoped that Capt. Oyster will continue to make changes that will be of benefit to the force. The camp meeting season is now on. I attended one on last Sunday down near Pomonkey, Md. I would not have known it was a religious meeting unless I had been told. Not knowing, one would have thought that a picnic and outing was going on. Some of our people seem to forget that these are, soul-saving meetings, but instead take them to be places for a day's outing and amusement. My friend Louis Thomas has closed his garden at Ninth and R Streets Northwest until early fall, when he contemplates having a big re-opening. Mr. Thomas intends to leave no stone unturned to make this place a drawing card for its many patrons. The popular Oriental Garden promises to be one of the leading enterprises the coming season. While passing down Seventh Street this week I was halted by a voice calling me, and whom do you suppose it was? My old friend Silas Johnson. He is still in the pool business, and deserves credit for sticking to his business for such a long time. Silas seems a little downhearted, but let's cheer up, things could be worse. The present condition cannot last always. The work on the Crandall Theater on You Street continues to progress. The question I would like to ask, is "How are all these theatres and halls going to prosper?" Are there enough theatre-going young people to support all of these enterprises? With things getting tighter and tighter, it would seem impossible. One can readily see this by making a visit to the several places of amusement. The price of admission has been lowered, but this does not increase the attendance. John A. Gustafson, the chief of police at Tulsa, Okla., during the recent riot, and who was suspended, has been found guilty of having failed to take proper precaution for safety on the night of the riot, and also guilty of conspiracy to free automobile thieves and collect rewards. It appears that there, were several charges against this former chief of police. He was a man who could not command the respect of those under him, principally because they were aware of his crooked dealings with automobile thieves. This naturally reduces the morale of the men in the ranks, and is another instance of the necessity of having honest men in the higher places. GARVEY TO LOAN LIBERIA FIVE MILLION. (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York City.-Marcus Garvey is the head of the Negro Independent Association, which owns the Black Star Line, and the hope of which is to make Africa solidly black one of these days. He preaches that hope to his followers. The N. I. A. has branches in the West India Islands and in Panama and Cuba and the like, and is said to have a membership of 4,000,000 Negroes, each of whom is said to pay one cent a day. That is $40,000 daily, not to speak of the bond-selling privileges, and it may be that Marcus Garvey really could loan the republic of Liberia the $5,000,000-or at a pinch, $3,000,000—of which it stands in need. The United States, however, will probably loan the Republic of Liberia $5,000,000. Because if Uncle, Sam does not-accommodate Liberia to this extent John Bull will. Or if John Bull remains obdurate, which is not at all likely, Marcus Garvey will be induced. The story is one of international relationship. African west coast affairs, the oil business and the race problem. One might, perhaps, best take it jauntily. President King of Liberia is in the country, accompanied by R. K. Morris—familiarly known in Liberia as "Up the River" Morris—who is the state treasurer, and Mayor Johnson of Monrovia, which is the capital of Liberia. Mr. Johnson is worthy of a moment's attention, because he is the grand potentate of the African empire, and in that capacity wears a red wrapper, and a starry crown when he goes on parade, which he has and does. Otherwise he only appears as one of those interested. INTENDED VICTIM KILLS KU KLUX. Intended Victim Wings Masked Member of Dreaded Organization. Childress, Texas. The first death in the war of the "masked terror" caused a tense sensation in the community of Northfield, twenty miles from here. C. L. Burden, a member of a party of masked men, was killed when he with a band of his fellows went to the home of Henry Adams. The masked men called for Adams to come from his home. A shotgun report from the house was the reply. Burden fell, mortally wounded, and died within a few hours. TARRED PASTOR TO NEW LOCATION. Miami, Fla.—The Rev. Philip A. Irwin, white British subject, and pastor of a colored Episcopal Church here, announced after a conference with other clergymen, local officers of the American Legion and A. M. Hubbard, British vice consul, that he would leave the city immediately. Irwin was tarred and feathered recently and warned to leave, but said he would not do so. The case was investigated by the grand jury and by Bishop Cameron Mann of Florida. The latter exonerated him from responsibility for alleged preaching of racial equality and unpatriotic utterances, after which Irwin said he would go North. The grand jury has not reported. MARCUS GARVEY RETURNS TO AMERICAN SOIL (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York City.—Marcus Garvey is back! The founder and head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is once more on American soil, after an absence of several months: Mr. Garvey was delayed several months in his return to the United States by governmental complications. Some time ago the Associated Negro Press stated that efforts were being made to keep the U. N. I. A. chief from returning to the States, on the grounds of being "an undesirable citizen." It can be authoritatively stated that such was the plan. The matter was taken up with the Department of Justice and the State Department by the general counsel of the Garvey movement, William C. Matthews of Boston, and, aided by the assistant counsellors of the movement, they were successful in producing evidence to show that the work of the organization is quite entirely in line with the principles upon which the American government was founded: No demonstration was permitted by the officers of the organization when Mr. Garvey reached New York, but a great mass meeting was held in Liberty Hall following his return. NO APPOINTMENTS FOR THE MEN IN THE SOUTH. It has been learned from the delegates who called upon President Harding last week that he has positively stated that he will not make appointments in the South to men of our race, but he will appoint some in the Northern States. The delegates who returned from the White House with this message were Archibald Grimke, Shelby Davidson and James Cobb. They went to the home of the President for the purpose of having him speak at a meeting which the National Advancement for Colored People will hold in September. This delegation had been warned beforehand that politics was not to be discussed, nevertheless the President made the following voluntary announcement to the above-named committee: "Gentlemen, I am very thoroughly convinced in my mind as to the policy I am going to inaugurate with reference to appointments, and that is, I am not going to appoint any colored men to public office in the Southern States, but there will be some appointments in the Northern States. This thing called "Race Prejudice" you cannot down by battling it, and the only salvation, as I see it, for the colored man in the South, is to fall into the ranks behind white leaderships until he can, acting through southern legislatures, work out his destiny. This is my policy, and I am going to follow it, live or die, dink or swim." POTOMAC RIVER BAPTIST ASSOCIATION. The Nineteenth Annual Meeting of the Potomac River Baptist Association was held with the Mount Moriah Baptist Church, King George County, Virginia. Rev. John H. Grymes, pastor, and Moderator of the Association, succeeding the late Rev. R. B. Ward, This was a most enthusiastic gathering of delegates from the various fields of labor. A three-days' session, July 26, 27, 28, was held, with three meetings a day. Introductory sermon was delivered by Rev. Raymond O. G. Hunter, followed during the session by Rev. S. J. Russell, Rev. E. Thomas, Dr. Willis J. Winston, A. M., Rev. C. P. Pratt, Rev. Daniel Washington, Rev. W. F. Dickerson, and Rev. C. C. Stewart. The Sunday School Convention, of which Brother Yancy Warren, is president, made a splendid report, as did also the Women's Auxiliary. The reports from the various churches were also good, and a good sum was banked for the project they have in view, besides making contributions to two schools and home mission work. Mrs. Lucy J. Broadus was a very prominent figure, also Mrs. Daniel Washington and Mrs. R. O. G. Hunter and Mrs. Kensey, of the District of Columbia. This whole-hearted pastor and his good people, left no stone unturned in looking after the comfort of all of the people that attended, and homes of the best type were furnished to every one. It was the cleanest gathering that we ever met. At times one could hardly move for the carriages and automobiles that literally covered an acre of ground, and there was not an ugly word heard by any one when the question was asked by the Moderator. It was declared by all to be the highest type of gathering, morally speaking, that they had ever had the pleasure of seeing. Every delegate and visitor was fed; not by ticket, but by free invitation to all, and the men's and ladies' committee, led by the very sweet wife of the pastor, spared no pains in making it pleasant for everybody. God bless King George and these good people. The people actually complained to the pastor, because they did not get delegates to take home that they might make it pleasant for them. Some were calling for as many as ten to take home. All honor to Mount Moriah and Dr. Grymes, the pastor. Rev. R. D. Grymes and his good wife saw to the transportation and everybody, delegates, visitors, strangers or what not, was given free transportation from Fredericksburg and the river landings. Several new churches joined, among them being the Wayland Baptist, of Baltimore, Md., of which Rev. Dr. Winston is the honored pastor. Among the visiting pastors were: Rev. Augustus Lewis, Rev. James Robertson, C. C. Stewart, and others. They kindled a flame in our hearts through their prayers and songs. The women, led by Mrs. Broadus, held sway in spiritual zealousness.

Pratt, second Vice-Moderator; Mrs. Hanna Ward, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Clarice Price Marbury, Assistant Secretary; Brother Charles Ross, Treasurer.

Va.-The fourteenth session of the Chesapeake Summer School for the training of Y. M. C. A. workers, held at Storer College, in this place during the month of July, came to a successful close on Wednesday. The striking feature of this school from its inception has been the fine spirit of good will and Christian fellowship which exists among the students and faculty. Men of both-races from different sections of the country have taken part on equal terms. Thus the school has been self supporting for the past three years. This was made possible by fees and contributions from our associations. Dr. George E. Haynes gave a most instructive series of lectures on the industrial situation as it affects the colored people, and made suggestions as to how the Y. M. C. A. might be more helpful to our men and boys. A definite program of work was outlined by Dr. E. T. Foster of the Industrial Department of the Inter- --- A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE 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.

Dix, State Secretary of Kentucky, delivered two most instructive addresses. He is a loyal friend of our association. Augustus Nash, religious work secretary of the Cleveland Y. M. C. A., exhibited a fine spirit of friendship and co-operation among the men in conversations and personal problems. A large number of laymen and young ministers were in attendance, and manifested great interest in the subjects taught. Due consideration was given to the work among boys by workers from all sections. It was decided to hold a national conference of the colored men's department soon. BEE CALLERS. Among the recent callers at the office of The Bee were Mrs. P.

It is announced from the headquarters of the League by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, that the program for the convention is now in the making, and that the Atlanta Local League is preparing a program of entertainment which will add much to the pleasure and the satisfaction of those making a sacrifice to attend the sessions of the meeting. It is most important that our business men and women should make the utmost sacrifices, if needs be, to come together for free conference and for mutual helpfulness at this time. Reduced rates have been granted over the lines of the Southeastern, Southwestern, Western, Eastern and Central territories. The reduced rate is one and one-half fare for the round trip.

The officers of the league are hoping at the coming meeting of the league to work out plans strengthening the organization for greater activity in the future. BOMB BUILDING ON SOUTH SIDE. Broken Glass Injures Officer on Guard. (Special to The Washington Bee.) Chicago, Illinois.—Members of several families fled from their homes and a policeman was injured when a bomb, thrown from a speeding automobile, broke the glass in buildings at 419 to 431 East 48th Place early Friday. This was the fifth bomb exploded there within a year, according to the Wabash Avenue police. The families, who now occupy the buildings, told the police that the whites are trying to drive them out of the neighborhood. Sergt. James Tucker, colored, of the Wabash Avenue Station, who had been detailed to guard the structures, was sitting across the street when the bomb was thrown from the automobile. This occurred in front of 425 East 48th Place. Flying glass from the windows of the building cut Tucker's arms, legs and face. He was taken to the Provident Hospital. Tucker explained that a dark touring car, with several men in it, swung into 48th Place from Grand Boulevard, and when in front of 425 one of the men stood up and threw something out. The car sped on, and an instant later there was a deafening explosion. None of the tenants in the building was injured. A month ago, when the fourth bomb was exploded, the residents went to the Wabash Avenue Station and demanded protection. Sergt. Tucker was then detailed to guard the streets. An investigation by members of the Enterprise staff verifies the act that this was an accomplishment of the Ku Klux Klan, which is very active on the south side. It is reported that Finley Bell and other officials of the Grand Boulevard and Hyde Park Associations are soon to be indicted for their activities. They are known to be members of the Klan, which has offices on North Dearborn Street where the propaganda is mapped out. FUND FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES IS SHORT. $100,000 Appropriated Not Sufficient for Needs of Year. Requisitions for school textbooks, drawn by Acting Supt. A. T. Stuart, will be added to the school enrollment in September. It is aimed to have as much of this school equipment as possible available for use by the reopening of the schools in September. The appropriation for the fiscal year ending July 30, 1922, which was available July 1, provides $100,000 for books, paper and supplies for school room use. The same amount was provided last year. This amount is said to be insufficient to provide full equipment for the schools for the next school year. The prices of books have increased, according to Mr. Stuart, although paper has decreased in price. The appropriation does not allow for the increased book prices. One point in which the appropriation falls short, it was indicated by the acting superintendent, is in making no additional provision for increased enrollment next year. It is expected that as many as 2,000 pupils Failed to Take Proper Precaution for Public Safety During Riots, Jury Says. (Special to The Bee.) Tulsa, Okla., July 28.—John A. Gustafson, suspended chief of police, was to be sentenced for failure to do his duty during the Tulsa riots. Gustafson was found guilty by a jury of charges of "failure to take proper precautions for public safety during the recent race riot." The chief was also declared guilty of conspiracy to free auto thieves and collect rewards. DR. W. L. SMITH'S INDIGESTION CURE.
