The Washington Bee WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY AUGUST 20, 1921 Letter "THE HISTORY OF ETHIOPIA IN RHYME!" Respectfully dedicated to the colored American race the world over, by the author, Rev. J. Luther Martin, Washington, D. C., August, 1921. (Author's Note: While these lines were being written, the tune "Love Divine All Love Excelling." was continuously running through these lines!) The following letter sent out by Mrs. Monen Gray, President of the Negro Women's Republican League, to her alleged (?) coworkers, will give the thinking women of the U. S. an-opportunity to decide, prior to the convening of the convention whether or not she is qualified to lead the women of the country politically: (Continued from last week.) Ham's fourth son, whose name was CANAAN. My dear Co-worker: I am writing to inform you that a call has been issued for a National Convention of Negro Women to meet in Kansas City, Mo., August 22 to 27, 1921, by the Negro Women's National Republican League. This convention will take up the questions of lynching, race-riots, Jim-Crowing, segregations, race discriminations, and other forms of unjust treatment of colored Americans. We are expecting a large delegation of patriotic women from your state and that you will select your strongest leaders to take part on the program. We hope to make this meeting the most important gathering of Negroes ever held upon American soil. Of him we did speak before, So I'll not repeat the story— But must haste to land galore. Ye ye Alexander Dumas There were two—Father and Son. Those great Frenichnen writers, Have both fame and honor won! Wrote "The COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO." "THE THREE MUSKETEERS" also: Works like Shakespeare's, Jules Verne, Milton, Our Dante's famed "Inferno"! We shall issue an address to the people of the United States and memorialize Congress, calling attention to violations of our citizenship rights and demand the passage of such laws as will give to us every right now enjoyed by other citizens of the Republic. Let me know at your earliest convenience, the number that you will send to the convention and those whose names you wish to appear on the program. One session of the convention will be held in Kansas City, Kans. Know ye of S. COLERIDGE-TAY- LOR England's greatest composer? Music-lovers hear with rapture, His fine theme "HIAWATHA"! Down in Haiti, the great warrior— Toussaint L'Ouvertoure, did reign; With his sword he drove the English, French and Spanish, from her main! MONEN L. GRAY President of Negro Women's Republican League. Attached to this letter are the names of many prominent leaders among our women, Miss Lucey Laney, Georgia, and Miss Mary Bethune, Flo. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Ohio, and a half hundred other women. When The Bee representative sought authentic information concerning the circular letter so that it could be given out to the women of the country, the findings caused the following question to arise within her mind: Do all of these women know that their names are on this circular and for what purpose they are being used? "THE BLACK LEGION" was assembled By our hero. Count Estaling; On the Isle of St. Domingo, Seventeen and ninety-nine! At the great siege of Savannah, Cov'ring the Americans' retreat, And repulsing French and British, Saved our arms from sure defeat! If the call had been regularly and properly issued for a national convention, why was it necessary to follow it up by the sending of a circular letter to tell the women of the country that a call had been sent to them? Did the National Association authorize this, or was the authority given by the executive body? If it had, then the work of both bodies was half done. If the call was issued from the Negro Women's National Republican League when did either the National Association or the executive board assemble to issue it? Did they assemble? Many women have asked why the call was not signed by the secretary. Who issued the call, the people or the president? IN THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE. The first blood that then was shed, Was our martyr—CHRISPUS AT- TUCKS, Who at Boston, was shot dead! Twas our hero, Peter Salem, Who in taking, aim to kill; Shot and wounded, Major Pitcairn, On the slopes of Bunker Hill! How does the president know what business the convention desires to bring before the general body for the best interest of the people before it shall have assembled? The Bee thinks that the conference would decide this and that a cut and dried program would not be dished out to its members. If the latter course is pursued, The Bee is sure that the thinking women of the country will neither masticate nor digest such a dish of fake autocracy. Let me pause to tell the story, Of MISS PHILLIS WHEAT- LEY, Brought a slave from Afric's borders, To this "Our Land of the Free"! "We are expecting that you will select your strongest leaders to take part on the program." If it is desired by the president to have the strongest leaders selected by the coworker, instead of being elected, the body of women in the towns and cities where they reside, for the program, how much more is it necessary for the very strongest leader to be selected (? ) or ejected to lead the women of the country. Her fine poems won great prestige, Praised and dined by men of fame; Left her verses for our reading— Yeal We laud MISS WHEAT- When in eighteen-twelve with England. Why is one session only to be held in Kansas? Is this one to be the reorganizing or the business one of the other business session? We fought a terrific war; Colored men with courage ramping, Joined our ranks from near and far! Another thing to be noticed on the circular letter of Mrs. Mohen Gray is the entire absence of the names of political women of the District of Columbia and neighboring States, who are prominent in politics and who did real big things in this locality and other States during the last campaign. These women are thoroughly organized and are working harmoniously together. At "The Battle of New Orleans," They did make the British run Fighting valiantly and nobly, Led by General Jackson! Among the outstanding political lights of the District of Columbia are Mrs. J. Mayean Layton, President of the League of Republican Women's Forums; Miss Nannie Burroughs, its secretary, and Miss M. Madre-Marshall, its vice president. In the stressful early sixities, Rose great men as from the earth, Like Fred. Douglass, Lane and Hayden, The columns of The Bee are open to any one who would like to enlighten the women of the country who desire to have these various problems which have arisen concerning the Women's National Republican League solved. But they rose to, heights of glory, Were applauded by all men; I could not here do them justice, On their lives I'll still my pen! There was Mrs. Frances Harper, Harriet Tubman—staunch like Ruth; Afric's own child—just a slave-girl, Our belov'd SOJOURNER TRUTH! GOURDIN BUSY DURING VACATION. Edward Gourdin, the great colored American athlete, who has broken the world's record is at work in the Harvard alumni office earning money to aid him to complete his course in law next school term. --- There was Robert Purvis, Russwurm, Walker Dayid, William Still, With James Forten, William Whipper, Risked their lives, to do God's will! Now we come to the great battles, Waged with unrelenting Spain, For the poor oppressed in Cuba, Yea! By hundreds they were slain! When our Colored Boys went Southward, Bound for Cuba's fevored land, They with gladness fought her battles— Broke her from Spain's iron hand!

Jackson, for the past three years pastor at Centennial M. E. Church of Baltimore, was appointed superintendent of the Lynchburg district of the Washington Conference by Bishop William F. McDowell last Wednesday. He will take the place of Rev. E. J. Ruddock, who died recently. During his pastorate here the work at Centennial Church, Rev. Walter A. English, who has made successful record, as pastor of Asbury Church, Annapolis, will succeed him here. Rev. Jackson was formerly pastor of the Simpson Memorial M. E. Church, for a number of years, where he did wonderful work to lift and enlarge the church in every way. His work in that church will always be remembered. DAY NURSERY COLUMN. The financial effort being made in behalf of the Day Nursery, for its maintenance is meeting with success. We thank you. Kindly make checks payable to the Day Nursery. The membership enrollment grows daily. Let every one help this worthy cause, financially; by so doing child humanity among those mothers employed away from home. will be greatly benefited. "Jesus was indignant when the disciples thought children were not of sufficient importance to occupy His attention." To neglect any of these little ones, is an inexpressible injury to the race. The children of mothers employed away from home, must be cared for by the Christian workers at the Day Nursery. Help them in every possible way to bring the children unto the Master to receive His touch. Please give your money for the support of the Day Nursery, "as the Lord hath prospered you." The maintenance of the Day Nursery is our work, let us realize that it is our duty to support this institution. Its good or bad upkeep reflects our community life and ideals. Much is to be done to make this work telling in our city. We must and ought to have better facilities to make our Day Nursery second to none in the country. Here is an opportunity for the men's clubs, endeavor societies, missionary societies, and churches, as well as individuals to help this necessary activity. Assist to make our Day Nursery a community light house—a power for good for the Creator and distribution of that which is highest and best morally and spiritually in our community life. E. V. C.

The mob's plot to get Jim out of the swamp had the desired effect. It aroused the sincere curiosity of the colored people. What were they planning to do to the two defenseless women—Essie and Mary? Negroes working around white people became all eyes and ears. Members of the mob easily managed to let their servants overhear bits of the plan when conversing with each other. "They're good lookin' wenches an' the boys are goin' to call on 'em to tomorrow night; a dozen or so of the young fellows, you know. Brough'll be with 'em. He ain't never forgot how he lost his eye." "Haw! haw! An' he wants more'n an eye for his eye, don't he?" "After what they do to them tomorrow they won't be fit for nothin' but burning." Some exaggerations, of course, were thrown in to fire the imagination of the colored people. The simple-minded, sympathetic black folk were horrified. Calculations did not go amiss as to their sentiment and endeavors this time. They slipped the news to Jim by way of "the grape vine telegraph," even while the posse kept a closer watch on the swamp. Jim was not in the swamp. His colored friends had got him out the next day after he went into it. For many days he had been hidden in Elliot's great barn, and was being fed from the kitchen of the Big House, without, of course, the knowledge of the Elliots. The character and courage of Jim truly justified the compliment which his enemies had paid him, for when he heard that danger threatened Essie and his "Little Sis," for whom he had so many times risked his life, he resolved not to be kept away from them by any considerations of life or death or hell. He believed that the mob meant to carry out the diabolical plot against those whom he loved, because the colored people who reported it to him believed it. People who believe what they say have a way of making others believe. But, the colored people believed it only because the whites apparently had tried to keep them from getting wind of it. Jim resolved, therefore, to rescue Essie and Mary or die in the attempt. He was watching for a chance. He would wait till dusk of evening. If by that time he found no chance, he would take one. What was it that brought John Elliot wandering through the great barn that afternoon? Are there unseen powers that sport with our destinies as we manipulate the lives of lesser creatures? The barn was nearly a half mile from the Big House. Had the actions of some servant made Elliot suspicious: or, was his troubled and wandering mind leading him? Was there some soul-liasion, unrecognized by both of them, between this old man and that son of his hidden in the hay loft? At any rate, there came Elliot in his wide hat, long coat and gray trousers. From his hair in the loft Jim could see him. The fugitive's mind worked fast. That hat, coat, trousers—they would be passports. The hunted man is more dangerous than the hunted animal. Was Elliot armed, as usual? Jim quickly evolved a plan. He climbed rapidly down and walked out of the barn right before the astonished eyes of John Elliot. "Stop!" demanded Elliot, reaching for his hip pocket, but Jim had passed out of the door. He did not attempt to run, but stepped behind the great tree which stood in the barnyard to the side furthest from the Big House. This looked pacific to John Elliot, so he did not draw his gun. "Now, Jim, you've got to surrender," he suggested. "Surrender hell!" said Jim, to Eliot's great irritation. An instant later he let his pursuer see him reach out from behind the tree and seize a huge billet of wood. This angered Elliot. Jim meant to anger him. To enrage a man is often the first step toward overcoming him. Out flashed the ubiquitous Southern gun. "What are you going to do with that club, n——r?" "I may kill you with it, you white devil!" hissed Jim. "How the hot blood surged to Eliot's head." No Negro ever said as much to a white man and lived; at least within the borders of Arkansas and the memory of John Elliot. He was too angry to reply to this threat and insult. He simply began to move around the tree brandishing his revolver, and trying to get a good aim at the object of his wrath. This was the battle which Jim wanted to provoke. He stuck close to the tree, while Elliot moved around at a distance, but did not risk coming closer. The younger man moved easily in the smaller circle, while the enraged old man found it more difficult to keep pace in the larger circle. How exasperating it is for one whom we consider inferior to first defy us and then outwit us. Finally, in a blind rage, John Elliot fired two shots, cutting the bark of the tree on his right and at Jim's left, as the two men facing each other moved in their orbits from right to left. These shots were a signal to the quick-witted Jim. He was waiting for some such sign. It indicated to him that his pursuer had become desperate, and therefore indiscreet and less clear in judgment. John Elliot had the gun, but cunning is the weapon of the week and of the unarmed. This was the moment for the ruse. He hung his hat on the end of his club, holding it in such a way that Elliot could see only the crown of the hat. Another shot rang out. A piece flew from the crown of the hat, and Jim fell backward to the ground, slapping the hat quickly on his head. He pressed his palm over the rift in its crown and closed his eyes as if in great pain. Elliott rushed forward. "It was your own fault," he said, as he came toward where Jim fell. "I didn't want to shoot you." as he came toward where Jim fell. "I didn't want to shoot you." As he stooped to pull Jim's hand from the top of his head, the prostate man, with the irresistib]ness of the unexpected, suddenly jerked both of Elliot's legs from under him, and, as the latter fell, the gun flew from his hand. The greater agility, of the younger man brought him first to his feet and he got possession of the gum. He ordered Elliot to go immediately into the barn. Outwitted, but haughty, Elliot refused to utter a word; but he obeyed the command. There was a light in Jim's eye which no rational being would disregard. Inside the barn, Jim, for the first time in his life said to this proud baron what both of them thought to be the truth. "John Elliot!" he began, "I am your bastard son. That is the only reason why I am not going to kill you. It is not because I think you deserve to live, nor that I fear to die. If I were not your son, I would kill you for your treatment of my mother. But if any harm comes to her now, or to my sister, I will kill you in broad daylight, even at the door of the jail or at the gate of hell. I, your own son, will kill you with your own gun. For the present I only want your clothes; hat, coat and pants. Take 'em off! You can put on these if you want to." Elliot, proudly silent, gave up his clothes. He appeared not to see the coat which Jim held out to him. "And now I'll tie you in the loft so you can't get loose. You can call for help later. I will tell you when to call, and don't call too soon, or you won't get the help. You are to stay here all night. I have stayed here many nights. Don't call or notify any of the boys when they feed and put up this evening. I will be watchin', and if I see the leist sign that they have found you. I'll come out and kill you right before their faces. I ain't anxious to escape, and I ain't hankerin' to live. I'm tryin' my best to get my mammy and Little Sis' away from here tonight, an' if we get away all right it may save you some trouble." (Continued Next Week.) (Copyright 1921, by William Pickens. Released Exclusively by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service. All Rights Reserved.) DELEGATION OF RACE MEN GO INTO MEXICO. (Special to The Washington Bee.) Newton, Kans., Aug. 17.—A delegation of Oklahoma and Kansas business men passed through this city today en route to Mazaland, Old Mexico, a prosperous city of over sixty thousand souls, located on the northwest coast of the Republic. What means this movement? The correspondent interrogated and why did you not go through Texas? "We are looking for a place in the Republic." replied one of the party, where our people can emigrate and have an equal and an opportunity to work out our salvation." In speaking of their roundabout way of getting into the Mexican country, they made this clear. "We came this route in order to evade the odium of the un-American, un-principal and inhuman 'Jim Crow' system." The American colored man, especially the Southern wing of the race is tired of un-Godly principles being meted to us. Another states, "I do not want my children reared in a land of heathenism. No colored man is safe here, no matter what his social, political or financial status in the community. We are all looked upon as outcasts, vagabonds, or anything other than an American citizen." It is hoped, said the correspondent after his interview, that these brave, heroic souls will find a solution to the vexing problem which threatens the peace and good will of the American nation. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public extracts from the hearings held by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives, at which Judge Guy D. Goff, assistant to the Attorney General of the United States testified that in his belief the Dyer anti-lynching bill was constitutional and would be held so by the Supreme Court of the United States, if enacted into law. One of the chief objections which has been urged against a federal anti-lynching bill is the question of its constitutionality and the testimony of the Assistant to the United States Attorney General disposes of this objection. Judge Goff based his interpretation upon the 14th amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits a state from denying to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. "The state can deny this right through an executive officer," said Judge Goff, "as readily as it can through a legislative or a judicial act. If a state, acting through its highest judicial officer, denies this right there is a direct appeal, if the record has properly raised the point, to the Supreme Court of the United States. If the legislative department denies the right, we know, of course, how the right is preserved and enforced. "The mere fact, that the Congress of the United States has never affirmatively, so far as I have been able to find, invaded the field, and by appropriate legislation under this constitutional provision sought to restrain the executive officers of the states from denying this right is no reason why Congress should not now take such appropriate action as will tend to protect their and similar rights." Judge Goff again summarized his opinion by saying that "it has been definitely established that there is a federal police power; that Congress can invoke this power within the limit and according to the provisions of constitutional limitations; and that Congress having so invoked the power can enforce it to the fullest extent." Mr. Reavis, one of the members of the committee, then asked Judge Goff: "If I understood you correctly, the mere passage of a law by Congress seeking to guarantee to an individual the rights granted under the 14th amendment would not foreclose the issue of fact as to whether or not he had been denied those rights by a state." To which Judge Goff replied, in part: "No; but I would say this: That if Congress saw fit to pass a law which came within the meaning, as the courts have defined that meaning, of the 14th amendment, that then the courts could not conduct an inquiry as to whether Congress was justified in deciding what is generally termed a legislative act. Congress, as we know, can take affirmative action or not upon many questions within its jurisdiction." One of the members of the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Hersey, then put the following question to Judge Goff: "Suppose that up in my state—which has a law against mobs and riotous assemblages, any criminal laws, as most states have, against murder, unlawful killings, etc., a mob should assemble, or there should be a riotous assemblage resulting in the lynching of a person, without the knuledge of the sheriff of the county or any state officer, and that no official of the state, who has the duty of enforcing the law, should be present or have any knowledge of it, would that make the state guilty under the statute?" Judge Goff's reply was, in effect, that the state could no more plead ignorance than could an individual as an extenuation for violating the law. He said: "I think that would make the state guilty under this statute, if it were enacted, because the state could be charged with the omission to have sufficient power at its command, at every instant of time, to enforce the law, or to protect the rights of the individual. The state is not to be heard to plead ignorance of the facts or inability to maintain law or order." Judge Goff's conclusion was given by him as follows: "Must the Congress of this country sit supinely by when it knows that a state, either affirmatively or negatively, is denying that right? If the state omits to give or withholds protection through motives of indifference or inability, is the guaranty performed and the duty of the Federal Government discharged? In a word, is the 14th amendment meaningless because of state negativity? I hope not, and I think not." DEATH OF NOTED PREACHER Dr. C. T. Walker Succumbs to Illness at his Augusta Home—Was Leading Divine of Present Age. (Special to The Washington Bee.) Augusta, Ga., Aug. 17—Rev. Charles T. Walker, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, and one of the most noted divines of the present day, passed away at his home here at 2 o'clock this morning following an illness of several weeks. Dr. Walker was vice president of the National Baptist convention, vice president of the Georgia Baptist State convention, and was also moderator of the Walker Association, named in his honor. He has occupied the pulpit here for the last fifty years with the exception of five years during which time he served as pastor of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church of New York. It was during the time he pastored in that city that he fostered an organization which launched the One hundred and thirty-fifth Street Young Men's Christian Association from the time of its founding until his death. Dr. Walker was known far and wide as a personal friend of John D. Rockefeller, the noted financier, has attended his services each time he visited Augusta. Mr. Rockefeller referred to Dr. Walker as "the greatest preacher I ever knew." AUTO VICTIM DIES A colored man who was injured by the automobile of Edward S. Wolfhart, Forestville, Md., on the Marlboro road beyond the District line Tuesday afternoon, died at Casualty Hospital yesterday. The deceased, who was about sixty years old, resided near Forestville, where he was known as "Father Time." Wolfhart, employed in the navy yard, learned of the colored man's death yesterday afternoon, when he visited the hospital to inquire about his condition. Later he visited police headquarters and was detained, until Constable Thomas Garrison appeared and accompanied him to Maryland. Bond for Wolfhart's appearance was furnished. A coroner's jury will be sworn over the body at the morgue tonight, and the testimony will be taken at Hyattsville. WELLINGTON A. ADAMS IN THE WASHINGTON BEE. Mr. Adams in a recent article in The Washington Bee under the caption "In the World of Music" used the appearance of Mr. Charles S. Gilpin to bring out a very good point and one which we consider most timely. Recognizing Mr. Gilpin as one of the four greatest actors of the day commenting on the fact that art is blind to caste and racial conditions he takes the stand that if Charles S. Gilpin can attain such fame in dramatic art that sooner or later a race star will appear in the musical firmament who will command universal attention. He states as follows: "Right now Roland Hayes is attracting unusual notice from the press in England by his splendid singing, as noted in this column recently, and others from time to time will do likewise. "It is our opinion that colored artists should tour foreign countries, where there is no color line drawn. They could establish their art with greater ease and success by so doing, and it is worth the time and expense, we believe. Mme. Anita Patti Brown, of Chicago, made a tour to South America a few seasons ago, and she was welcomed among the elite of Brazil, and other Latin-American countries, and made the tour successfully. We should like to see Mrs. Cole-Taleb tour abroad, because of her excellent vocal qualifications and high rank as an artist. "She undoubtedly would command Most Exquisite of all attener Preparations elf and your friends to make yourself able at all times, and here are a few sug- g your looks generally.

LINNEY CONFIRMED AFTER STORMY DEBATE. Opposed as Federal Attorney in North Carolina on Race Question Stand. After three hours of stormy debate, the Senate in executive session, yesterday confirmed the nomination of Frank A. Linney, republican state chairman of North Carolina, to be federal attorney for the western district of that state. The race question was said to have been uppermost in the debate. Only minor mention was reported to have been given Mr. Linney's activities at the recent republican national convention, where he was said to have proposed dividing North Carolina's vote between Mr. Harding and Senator Johnson, republican, California. The latter, it was said, did not speak against Mr. Linney, but voted against confirmation. Mr. Linney was charged with having prevented voting of North Carolina colored Americans. He also was criticised for his alleged statement that he favored applying the literacy test to illiterate white persons as well as colored Americans. Senators Borah, republican, Idaho, and Simmons, democrat, North Carolina, were reported to have led the fight against confirmation, while Chairman Nelson of the judiciary committee, and Senators Ernst, republican, Kentucky, and Sterling, republican, South Dakota, were said to be the leading champions of the nominee.

Villard of New York, urging a special Senate investigation. He spoke for the Uniqio Patriotique of Haiti, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Haiti and Santo Domingo Independence Society and charged there "was no trouble in Haiti until we went there." Immediate American withdrawal would be a disaster. Mr. Villard told the committee, but military occupation should terminate. The Government's attitude in Haiti and Santo Domingo "profoundly injures our relations with Latin-America," he declared, stating that when the former Secretary of State, Mr. Colby, visited South America, he was preceded by a delegation of Santo Domingans "telling the people what we had done in their country." Mr. Villard said information had reached him from Haiti indicating that witnesses from that island would appear before the committee only under a guarantee protecting their lives against American officers and troops. The committee will begin its investigation Friday, hearing Mr. Villard and representatives of the Navy Department. COLLECT $2,248 FOR RIOT VICTIMS IN TULSA. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has made known that the receipts to date 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 are working for the relief of the Tulsa riot victims. THE AMERICAN WOODMEN. (Special to The Bee.) The citizens of Denver commendably responded in making accommodations for the hundreds of delegates and visitors to the city for the Fifth Quadriennial Session of The American Woodmen Convention which convened Monday, August 8th. Dr. Thomas, pastor of the Shorter A. M. E. Church, kindly consented to permit the business of the Supreme Camp to be held at the church. The pastors of other churches took great pains to direct the sentiment of their respective congregations to favorably respond in whatever way possible, to the end that the stoy of the delegates would be made pleasant and profitable. This, however, was a splendid indication of the generosity and broad-mindedness of the citizens, and should commend them to all who were present to learn their virtues. The city is proud, and rightly so, of the fact that the supreme office of this organization is located in Denver, and proud that two of the Supreme officers have their permanent homes among us. In this way the organization makes a valuable contribution to our citizenry as such, as well as constitutes a valuable business asset. The object lesson it serves and the inspiration it gives to the capable and progressive minded of our group, is incalculable. Since the present management assumed control of the society, a little more than ten years ago, its growth has been remarkable. It now operates in twenty-three states and is placed by the leading fraternalists in the front rank of fraternal beneficiary societies. It is incumbent upon our group to encourage its continued growth and development, and give such patronage to its occasions as will, in a large way, reflect the consciousness of an obligation that rests upon every citizen of our city. The labors of those who are directly responsible for the growth of the organization have been untiring, exacting and unselfish. The organization is already one of the concrete monuments of recent business achievement and stands out as one of the largest beneficiary societies operated exclusively by our group in the United States. The convention concluded its sessions Saturday, the 13th, after which the delegates left our city for their respective homes, carrying impressions of our hospitality and general character as citizens. What shall it be? American Woodmen Delegates: The vanguard of the delegates to the American Woodmen Convention arrived last Thursday. In the party were Mr. H. L. Billups. Vice Supreme Commander, who completed a speaking tour from Washington, D. C., to Denver; Mr. E. E. Carrington, National Auditor, also completed a speaking tour from Chicago to Denver, and Mr. C. C. Trimble, National Supervisor of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Gertrude Moody, National Worthy Guardian, has been visiting Tents in the Juvenile Department from Florida to Denver. These early arrivals are members of the Supreme Camp administration and acted in an advisory capacity in the Convention arrangements.

It is the oldest colored American newspaper in the United States. 4. It has the largest circulation of any colored American journal in the District of Columbia. 5.

The Bee suggests that the women of the country do nothing too hasty in the way of building up a strong national organization. Do not allow any falsely ambitious woman to railroad it through even if she is desirous of making herself the leader of our band of splendid serviceable women who have borne the burden in the heat of the day. Even if you desire such a leader as a self-constituted one, be deliberate. This is what our forefathers did when they were making the Constitution and organizing our government. In their first steps toward a better national government, they called three successive meetings before final action was taken, which gave us the splendid Constitution which is the foundation of our country. The first of these meetings was held in Washington's own town. This gave the other people an opportunity to get first-handed an account of what he had done there. The business transacted was the call of another meeting to be held in Annapolis. The Annapolis convention prepared the way for the final one to be held in Philadelphia. You know what took place there. George Washington, by his good work, and standing in his own native town, was chosen president of the convention. Never was greater deliberation shown than at this convention, where the delegates sat four months behind closed doors, the result of which gave to the world the Constitution of the United States. So should it be with the meeting now being called to form and weld a national women's party. The fittest woman should be chosen for the leader of the party based on service in her own town and the country in general. If the women respond to the call they should either make this a preparatory meeting until they can deliberate or be sure that the proper one is chosen to lead the women of the country into the true democracy where they all may aid in the upbuilding of this political body. Never in its history has Prince Georges County Republican camp been the battleground for so bitter a fight as is now in the making for the coming primary election. Two factions, the organization or Mudd faction, and the anti-organization or Ryan faction, are out to capture the prize, each riveting its gaze upon next year's contest. Neither side, however, is placing any bets upon the outcome because of the attitude of the new and unguessable woman element which casts its vote in the primaries for the first time. It is notorious that the organization which so readily accepted and used the loyal support of the women in the last campaign, has given but scant consideration to them in the present crisis in Prince Georges, "God's finger touched him anh he slept."

It is read by the people of every people of North America, South America the islands of the sea. 6. It is a newspaper of high ideals. The Bee suggests that the women or hasty in the way of building up a strong not allow any falsely ambitious woman if she is desirous of making herself the did serviceable women who have borne the day. Even if you desire such a lead despite the fact that three women candidates are to be named for The Democratic State Central Committee and the G. O. P. in other counties have named women on their State Central Committees. The women, therefore, have a grievance and intend to make it known at the polls when the date for the primary election rolls around, by launching their own candidate. Six members, instead of five as previously, are to be elected to the G. O. P. State Central Committee in this county, and to date seventeen candidates, all men, have tossed their hats in the ring. One more hat, at least, is to be thrown in and this hat will be trimmed with flowers. When this occurs the historians will be busy again, since it will be the first time in the history of the G. O. P. in Maryland that women will have a representative of their own sex filed for the State Central Committee in Prince Georges County. The men who are running for State Central Committee for the county are those who are believed to be the Ryan men, J. Hawkins, G. Diggs, Leander Brooks, Henderson Brooks; organization men, Dr. Watkins, Claude Smith, working for reelection, and H. G. Burdette. A strong element from all over the State is trying desperately to urge Mrs. H. B. Cardoza to have her hat thrown in the ring. Mrs. Cardoza has a stronger backing than any of the delegates. "NUF SED."

Last week I mentioned the fact of a rumor which is being circulated that Mr. A. Russell Wooding is to take charge of the Republic Theater Orchestra. For the benefit of the readers of this column the following letter is published: Editor, The Washington Bee, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: In your issue of August 13th an article by the "Sage of the Potomac" stated it is rumored that Mr. Russell A. Wooding would succeed Mr. Joseph H. Douglas as musical director of the Republic Theater. As manager of the above-named theater I desire to state in justice to Mr. Wooding and Mr. Douglas, that there is no foundation for such a report. Trusting you will give this statement the same publicity as the article referred to. Why it is necessary for some of our fraternal organizations to spend large amounts of money for useless show. There are two lodges of Elks in this city, both of which are to be represented by marching clubs at the annual convention in Boston, the latter part of this month. Each of the lodges contemplates taking a brass band along for escort. Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, has a band of its own. A real Elks band. Columbia Lodge with a membership well over one thousand has no band to call its own, but has under consideration the engaging of a band. Two bids have been sent in, one for $2,000 and the other for $1,000. Suppose the bid for $1,000 is accepted, the largest portion of this amount will go to the railroad company. Could not some of this amount be saved by using one band, the Elks' band, for both lodges? Would it not be better to use some of the money for some worthy cause rather than donating it to the railroad companies? Why go to a useless waste for outside show? The police department is getting very tight on the automobile owners placing fines of $50 for going faster than eighteen miles an hour and for crossing intersecting streets more than twelve miles an hour and like violations of the traffic laws: While these are best for the community, why not pay some attention to the outside motorist and those D. C. motorists who purchase outside tags in order to save money and pass through Maryland. I witnessed a collision on last Saturday morning in which one car had a D. C. tag and the other had a Virginia tag. One would naturally think that the owner of the car carrying the Virginia tag lived in Virginia, but he did not; he lives in Washington, owns property in Washington, yet in order to save a few dollars purchased a Virginia tag. This is just one case in many. Let's be fair all around. The failure of the Senate to confirm the appointment of Lincoln Johnson as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, is no surprise. Not only is there opposition against him from those who would come under him but there is objection to him from those of his own race on account of his unpopularity. If the Senate should still fail to confirm him, the colored American race has some good men right here in the D. C. MUSIC LOVERS CORNER By Wellington A. Adams --- RESPONSIBILITY. Supervisors of music in public school work are rapidly developing the important truth that the young should be taught music worth learning and keeping. Songs written especially for children have their rightful place; but the children outgrow them and unless they have been taught also to know the imperishable songs that belong to our musical literature, they have no resources when the specialized songs no longer interest them. There is a body of great music that does not change with fashion, but remains immutable through the years, the expression of great men who thought in melody; and it is never too early to introduce the child to that unfailing source of happiness and inspiration. The choice of music for children is a difficult and anxious task for the conscientious teacher, and the impressionable mind of the child is so like the fertile ground where seeds are sown, that it becomes a highly responsible work as well as a difficult one. That a sense of this responsibility is felt throughout the music-loving fraternity cannot be doubted when we note the earnest search by supervisors everywhere for the best material of lasting value, and their intelligent scrutiny of all that is offered to them. But this great responsibility is not the supervisor's alone, or music teacher's for that matter; it is shared by parent, whose plain duty it is to study the ethical side with the same sense of responsibility that is urged upon the teacher. In this particular, prudence is wisdom aforehand. Let us unite, then, supervisors, teachers and parents, in the interest of thorough musicianship, in meeting our plain responsibilities. It is no easy task, but we are capable, let us hope, of as great activity in working good toward our children as our enemies are to work evil. He who misguides the youth of a nation, either deliberately or through negligence, is an enemy of the people. We have learnerd something about that, no doubt; but let no man believe that the earnest, sensitive minds, of the young are less receptive to the influence of what is good than to what is harmful. Let us make the most of the ennobling influence of good music and see to it that only good music is placed before the young. Thus shall we do our part, in our special field, rightly to direct the thought of the children of today who will be the men and women of tomorrow, in whose hands will lie the destiny of a great nation.

THE FORUM GARVEY AT. LIBERTY HALL. (From the New York News.) Sunday night, July 31, finds Garvey again in the chair. Miss Ravella Hughes sang a beautiful solo, accompanied by Mme. Frazier Robinson. Then Mme. Robinson sang a solo, accompanied by Miss Hughes. The rostrum was overcrowded with the incoming delegates. Some had to stand. The hall was packed from end to end. No stock was sold, but good collection taken. Dr. W. E. Ferris, Negro World's editor, was first to speak. He referred to the achievements of the Black Star line and the U. N. L. A. and its founder. He said that when the Yarmouth sailed that first Sunday afternoon it riveted the attention of the entire world. The organization has breathed the breath of life into the Colored American. Colonel Adrian Johnson was next to speak, and told many thrilling stories of experience in the Southland. He told of one preacher who, after promising him the use of his church, and allowed him to print circulars and distribute them, locked his church up and went away the night he was to speak. Another one said that as long as Johnson did not "insult" him he couldn't get the use of his church, because he was boss. The man meant to say "consult," but was illiterate. He told of a sheriff who sent for him at his stopping place, but when the officers came they did not find him, because he had told the landlady to say he wasn't there. So when they came and failed to find him they left a message saying, "Tell that nigger to come and see the sheriff or begone." So he said instead of leaving town he called on the sheriff. The sheriff, cursing and calling him from one "God damn niggoe" to another, accused him of speaking against the American flag, of preaching race equality (which tells the colored American he is just as good as any white, and said the sheriff, "is a God damn lie"), and of planning to carry all the colored Americans back to Africa. All these things exasperated the sheriff, and Johnson took time to carefully explain the conditions to the sheriff as they really are. Finally the sheriff calmed down and gave him permission to carry on his work, and besides gave him strong protection He also operated in Mississippi. Among those present at this meeting were Captain Gains, Captain Rudolf Smith, Dr. Gibson, M. Tobias, Counsellor Steward, Miss H. V. Davis, Mr. Tailor, Swift Hodge, Hon. Normal Williams, Wheeter Sheppard, Mme. Young, Mrs. Bishop Alexander Walters, Attorney Welford Smith, Eli Garcia, Miss Douglas, Mrs. Weeks, Mrs. V. J. Williams, Sergts. Strong, Small, J. Peterson, L. E. Flanigan, Hon. Fred A. Toot, and many delegates whose names were unknown. Sunday afternoon, July 31, finds the Hon. Marcus Garvey in the chair. The band played and the choir sang. The Hon. Fred. A. Toot was first to speak for five minutes. He based his argument strictly on the coming convention, and with a few sharp warnings to the delegates who would be coming from other societies aside from the U. N. I. A., he sat down. Several other speakers made five-minute speeches, among them Colonel Adrian Johnson, who has just arrived from Louisiana, Miss Davis and Prof. Ferris. Garvey let loose one of his famous speeches, but made it short. He said the coming convention would be a peppery one. Everybody is coming there to fight. Even he, himself is going to fight hard: "God is fighting character." The greatest war ever staged was staged between God Almighty, and Lucifer. As he went on to tell of how God marshaled his battalions against Lucifer he drew thunderous applauds and shouts of "Keep on!" "Keep on!" Garvey is a half preacher. He said you could say anything you want against, him, but not against the U.N. I. A. Hundreds of delegates were present at the meeting. All the Black Star line employees were present, and received special instructions. Among those present were P. Premdas, Prendegast, H. Price, business manager of the Negro World, Mr. Tobias, Seal, Robinson, Miss Green, Miss Walcott, Miss S. Bryan, Miss Camel, Miss Martha Wilson, Mrs. Tobias, Mr. Mason and Dr. P. Paul. "SOWING AND REAPING." (From the Houston Observer.) Cohabitation between the black and white races was the theme of an editorial in last Tuesday's Houston Chronicle, a great daily published here in our city, it was occasioned by a representative of this county, who is a member of the state legislature, introducing a bill to make cohabitation between the white and the colored American races a felony. They said it ought to become a law at the earliest possible day, and further stressed their point by saying the colored Americans themselves should advocate such. Well, let us look into the matter a little bit, and see what there is to be gained by it. First, we know from past experience, no law is worth placing upon the statutes that is not adhered to strictly; second, no law is worth expounding that can be changed or used as the occasion requires. Then another thing we know to our sorrow is "The Line of Demarkation" has been so badly handicapped by guardroons, octaroons and mulatoes, that we are slow to answer until some definite information is given. If the bill means what we think it means, and have always thought was our portion, we say: "Yes." A thousand times yes, and are still proud of the fact, that there will still be time for that countless host to run to cover before that awful day dawns; (the passing of such a bill). Had it ever occurred to the southern white man, long ago, that his beastly desires and uncontrollable passions would have netted him such a harvest as confront him today, he probably would have allowed his slaves and hirelings—the even tenor of their way unmolested, aside from the daimnable practice that is carried on today. Had it ever occurred to the proud caucasian, that fun and frivolity, sometimes leave an everlasting stain, he would have probably passed up many, now forgotten, nights of revelry and sport. Had it ever occurred to him that a law would have to be enacted to keep him in his place, he probably would have done many things differently, or not at all; but such is fate. Time brings wonderful changes. The "Ku Klux" were a holy terror in "61," and have very likely made many mistakes in "21," but if they disband the next day after the passage of this bill, they will have deserved the unanimous ap proval of the entire Negro race of Texas and the good, Christian white women of the South. There is not the remotest idea of this law preventing the colored American from marrying some white man's daughter, or cohabitating with some white woman; not even of the sporting class; as a custom, stronger than the highest law, is in vogue here, that works overtime on the slightest provocation, that has long and merry ago said, "Thou Shall Not Pass." Yes, pass that bill, and let the punishment be death; the same as it is with a colored American that is even charged with such an offense, and refuse either, a burial in a decent graveyard. Yes! pass that bill and enfranchise the whole colored American race, so as they can place in office such men as will uphold the majesty of the law without fear or favor. The Observer is not unmindful of the many obstacles that will be encountered by the enforcement of such a bill, but is skeptical, very much so, of its passage, as the heart is the place to begin all righteous pursuits or endeavors. Then again, if white supremacy is to be maintained, it must be through fairness, justice and real Christianity that knows no color. Morality and truth are just as worthy and pronounced in black as in white. Legislation alone will never put the South in its rightful state or position, until the people of the South undergo a change of heart toward its black citizenry. When both parties to such co-habitation are treated alike, and made to feel equal justice the world will know the change has come. Above all, pass that bill at all hazards, then enforce it if it takes the SAY PRESIDENT URGED RACE SUBSERVIENCE. Leading Washingtonians in Hot Dispute as to Whether Executive Declared Lily White Supremacy. (By the Associated Negro Press.) "The President didn't say it," "The President did say it." Washington is just now turbulently discussing the yes and the no of a statement variously attributed to the President which runs thusly: "I am very thoroughly convinced in my mind as to the policy that 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. This thing called 'race prejudice' you cannot down by battling it and the only solution, as I see it, for the colored man in the South is to fall into the ranks behind white leadership until he can, acting through southern legislatures, work out his destiny. This is my policy," he continued, "and I am going to follow it live or die, sink or swim." These remarks are alleged to have been made by our Chief Executive in the presence of Archibald Grimke, Shelby P. Davidson, Charles A. Cottrill and James A. Cobb. The story runs that these men called on the President representing the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and Shelly P. Davidson is the member of the delegation who reports that Mr. Harding made the statement attributed to him in the foregoing paragraph. The other members have made no statements regarding the matter. As a matter of fact they could not be located when sought for an interview through which to verify the declaration of Mr. Davidson. President Harding is enjoyying his vacation as the guest of several of his more intimate friends in various sections of the country, and, of course, could not be reached at this time. His secretary, George B. Christian, however, unreservedly asserts that the statement of Mr. Davidson is extravagantly misleading and he informed the representative of the Associated Negro. Press that "There is no foundation of the statement." He further stated he had forwarded a letter to Nabum Daniel Brascher, editor of the A. N. P., denying that the President has ever made the announcement attributed to the Chief Executive by the aforesaid Davidson. Washington is unevenly divided on the question. Such of the colored local celebrities as have been forced to stay in town and swelter in the well nigh intolerable heat of a Washington summer appear to be one in the opinion that the President is "too smart" to have made the statement ascribed to him by the redoubtable Davidson: And while Davidson vehemently iterates and reiterates he is certain Mr. Harding spoke to the delegation in the terms he reports, most people are shaking their heads doubtfully and are saying in significant asides of him "nuts on the race problem." The question cannot be wholly settled until the President returns from his vacation trips. Unless some stress of public matters comes to the force this will not be until September, in all probability. In the meantime the faithful will patiently "wait in the saddle" and await the time of his coming back. It thus remains for all of us to abide, swelter and place our faith in the Lord. BEAUMONT COLORED AMERICAN INVENTS EXCAVATING MACHINE. On Monday morning crowds gathered at the new hotel site in Beaumont. Texas, to see the Kangaroo shovel make its initial try-out. It was soon learned that Alfred Neal, a Beaumonter, was the inventor, which caused more attention to be attracted. The shovel performed the work of fifty pick and shovel men. Its initial trial was a success, and now the fifty manpower shovel is busy excavating the earth for the new million dollar hotel. The long line of wagon teams that are in waiting for their turn to haul away the dirt are quickly loaded by Neal's shovel, and no time is lost in moving it away from the foundation. Neal is in charge of the machine, and is a master mechanic. He handles the machine with dexterity as the earth is lifted from the pit below. C. S. Lambie, contractor, has awarded the entire contract of excavating to the inventor of the Kangaroo shovel. In the mechanism of the machine there is a cam, devised by Neal, that causes the machine to take a step forward every time it automatically loads up full of dirt. CURB THE KU KLUX KLAN! Calling upon the authorities of the State of Texas to take drastic action to suppress the mob activities of the Ku Klux Klan, the American Civil Liberties Union of 138 West 13th Street, New York City, today sent a letter to the governor, the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House protesting against the lawless outbreaks which have become frequent occurrences of late months in that State. The letter, which is signed by Prof. Robert Morss Lovett of the University of Chicago, acting chairman of the Union, and by Albert De Silver, one of its directors, states that the example of Texas in permitting the continuance of mob outbreaks is harmful in the extreme to the rest of the country, and that similar outrages are spreading in the Southwest and South. "The American people," says the Union, "will not indefinitely tolerate the spirit exemplified by the Ku Klux Klan and other lawless persons and organizations who presume to dictate to the community their own conception of law and order." The letters in full follows: "The New York newspapers, and we assume the newspapers of the entire country, have recently carried many accounts of the mobbing of various persons in Texas by masked groups of men operating usually at night. In many cases they purport to be members of the so-called Ku Klux Klan. Their victims appear to --- 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: PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA be indiscriminately men or women, white or black, innocent of any offense or guilty—indeed, any one who may incur the enmity of these groups. "We note that the authorities of the State of Texas have taken cognizance of this situation; that a statement has been made by the governor; that a resolution has been introduced into the State Legislature and defeated; and that various pronouncements have been made by public men. "The effect of this condition in other parts of the country is, of course, bad. If the Ku Klux Klan can organize lawless bands in Texas in defiance of the authorities without punishment, they will be inspired to do it elsewhere. At the moment Texas is the one state in the Union where these cases predominate, but reports coming to us show that they are spreading in the Southwest and South. "As Americans devoted to the principles of civil rights which are violated in all these cases, we add our protest and our earnest appeal to the officers of the State to take drastic steps at the earliest possible moment to curb a spirit of lawlessness all too prevalent since the chaotic days of the war. "We respectfully submit that if state governments are unable to cope with lawlessness of this character, in the long run federal intervention will be inevitable. The American people will not indefinitely tolerate the spirit exemplified by the Ku Klux Klan and other lawless persons and organizations who presume to dictate to the community their own conception of law and order. Almost invariably such activity serves only the interest of a small group who hope to achieve by terror what they cannot achieve by lawful means. No government which tolerates such a condition can long hope to maintain its moral authority. "We feel sure that our fellow Americans will agree with the general position we take. We voice this appeal for action to you in the name of our cherished institutions because of the danger of these organizations to our democratic progress." WEALTHY RACE MAN FORCED TQ LEAVE HIS HOME. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug.-August 15th, not quite a year ago, the startling report was published throughout the country that Robert Baxter McRary, L. L. D., a wealthy, well educated and highly respected gentleman of Lexington, N. C., had been apprehended by a self-constituted posse of men and forced to leave his home at the peril of his life. A suit was later filed against Dr. McRary by a prominent white man of Davidson County, North Carolina, for $100,000 for damages, alleging alienation of the affections of his wife. Each side employed ten prominent attorneys, which indicates the far-reaching interest in the case.

C. After many delays the trial was fixed for the May term, 1921, but it was postponed. Subsequently, the prosecutor, thrigh his attorneys, proposed a settlement. The terms submitted by them were not accepted. The defendant dictated certain changes in the proposed settlement, which changes were agreed to by the prosecution and carried out. The suit was non-suited and all charges in any way affecting the moral character of Dr McRary were withdrawn. Dr. McRary has for twelve years been an active respected member of the board of education for the Methodist Episcopal Church, with headquarters at Cincinnati. He has been a member of that church since a boy, and for many years was a Sunday school superintendent. He is a graduate of Lincoln University, which institution gave him the degree of doctor of laws. He was for six years justice of the peace in Lexington, and was for several years a notary public. He offered his resignation from the above named board if the brethren thought wise, but it was not accepted. A committee of three, consisting of Bishop Hartzell of Cincinnati, Bishop Leete of Indianapolis, and Bishop Jones of New Orleans, was appointed by the above board as a "committee of counsel" in relation to the case. This committee made its report through its chairman, Bishop Hartzell at a meeting held July 12, 1921. The official correspondence between Judge Bynum of counsel for Dr. McRary, and Bishop Hartzell of Cincinnati; representing the board of education for the Methodist Episcopal Church, is self-explantory. WASHING DIRTY CLOTHES IN NEW YORK. (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York City, N. Y.-Some very dirty clothes are being washed just now by Alderman George Harris and the New York Age. As a result New Yorkers are being doubtfully edified by a rehearsal of charges and counter charges that have aroused a situation of bitterness which bodes no good to anybody connected with the unhappy affair. The Age announces that Alderman Harris is utterly unfit to hold office. In a recent editorial it presents a bitter arrangement of the Harlem politician and calls attention to the fact that when he first came before the people for their suffrage that the Age then pointed out his unfitness and advised the voters to defeat him. The editorial declares that it has seen no reason why that opinion should be changed. The alderman's record in the city council is pointed to as mute but unanswerable evidence that there is no just reason for changing the paper's attitude at this time. Alderman Harris makes no direct reply to the accusations of the Age. Nor has he shown any apparent concern about the effect the attacks may have on the successful appeal he is now making to the people for a re- TO IMPROVE YOUR HAIR Use Quinade Quinade is a medicated pomade scientifically compounded under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist. It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and are calculated to improve and beautify the hair. Quinade is delightfully perfumed, it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp. It is an elegant hair dressing and will tend to soften harsh hair, making it more pliable and easy to put up in any style its length will permit. To get best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be thoroughly washed every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap, a delightful shampoo. Quinasoap is made with a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled in other shampoos. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your dealer can not supply them we will send them to you on receipt of price, which is 35 cents for the Quinade and 25 cents for the Quinasoap. Seeby Drug Co. 10 Greene street, New York City.

One of the finest, most human and appealing pictures that has been shown this season on the screen for a long time is "The Easy Road," a Paramount picture, with Thomas Meighan in the stellar role. The story is that of a young author who has battled through adversity to success, and who marries a wealthy woman. How this marriage softens him, unfits him for work and threatens to ruin his career, is one of the elements. How his wife bravely sets out to redeem him; how he, himself works, for his redemption; how a helpless misfortunate girl turns the tide in his favor—all these are finely shown in this picture. "The Easy Road" will be shown three days beginning Sunday. Thomas H. Ince's production, "Beau Revel" will be shown three days, beginning Wednesday. It has a great cast, including Lewis Stone, Florence Vidor, Lloyd Hughes, Kateleen Kirkham, William Conklin, and Harlan Tucker. It is the story of a wealthy, ultra-fashionable society leader who tries to protect his son from a dancer and falls in love with the girl himself. Nothing more luxurious in the way of New York life, beautiful gowns and women, and pretentious Long Island estate has ever been done. The screen has never seen more surpassing cabaret sets, more gorgeous apartments and gowns than this production offers. On Saturday Wanda Hawley will be featured in "The House That Jazz Built." It is the story of a wife who was spoiled by too much money, idleness and luxury. A vamp nearly got her husband, but the wife came to her senses in the nick of time and won him back.

Harris, of 135 West 135th Street, editor of the New York News, was several nights ago at a special meeting of the Manhattan Republican Club, 146th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, denied the re-nomination for alderman, and Charles Mitchell, a district captain of 110 West 137th Street, was designated in his place. At the same time Assemblyman John C. Hawkins (colored), of 115 West 135th Street, was prevailed upon to withdraw from the race, and Horace W. Palmer (white) of 260 Convent-Avenue, was named in his stead. Alderman Harris, in a bitter speech, denounced the tactics of Robert F. Congdon, executive leader of the 21st A. D., stating that the Negro race was being robbed of representation, after which he withdrew from the nominating convention and announced Central Avenue and 61st Street, Capitol Heights, Md. Do it to-day or come at your leisure But whatever you do Have your clothes made to measure he would enter the primaries as an independent candidates. Says Cards Were Stacked. "The cards have been stacked against me," said Alderman Harris, after Leader Congdon had refused to allow Harris's nominators and seconders to take the floor. "I will have neither part nor lot in the proceedings of this convention, and I will not stand for either the alderman or assemblyman you may set up. This convention does not represent the people of the 21st A. D." Following his withdrawal from the convention the alderman and his followers went over to the West Harlem Republican Club, which had indorsed Harris for renomination, and mapped out a campaign for the fight in the primaries. "The entire colored population of Harlem will rise up en masse against the despicable tactics employed by Congdon, and will reelect me to office," said Harris. "As for Assemblyman Hawkins, while he never did anything for the colored people of this district, we, at any rate, had representation in the assembly. "Now, for the first time in five years we are denied even that, and Congdon's plan is to deprive us of both offices if he is able. The colored people control a majority of the votes in this district, and I am confident they will not tamely submit to being robbed of all representation in such a high-handed manner as this." MacNeill May Be Candidate. MacNeill May Be Candidate. An explanation of the alderman's statement that Congdon was planning to deprive the colored people of all representation may be found in the rumors that a number of the leader's lieutenants are reported to be grooming John T. MacNeill for the aldermanic position, and that his candidacy will be announced within a few days. If this is the case MacNeill will get the solid white vote, while Harris and Mitchell will probably split the colored vote between them, thus insuring the defeat of both colored-candidates. The independent candidate for the assembly from the 21st A. D., is Robert Lewis Waring; of 220 West 131st Street, an attorney with offices at 77 West 131st Street. Known throughout the district as "Fighting Bob" Waring, he has figured prominently in many sensational law cases, and is one of the best-known criminal lawyers in the country. Waring was formerly a policeman, and read law while doing patrol duty in Washington, D. C. He was admitted to the bar in the District of Columbia in 1905, and removed to New York in 1914. He was the first colored policeman ever to be admitted to the practice of law. ATTEMPTED ASSAULT CHARGE FACES COLORED AMERICAN. Will Try Garry, Accused of Attacking White Girl Near Beltsville, Md.

Gay[St. Balto., Md. who resides within a stone's throw of Garry was arrested the same morning as the party who had assaulted her. Garry was arrested the same morning by County Officer Thomas H. Garrison, but the feeling against the colored American was so pronounced that he was removed to the Baltimore city jail for safe keeping. The crime alleged against Garry is punishable in Maryland by death, but according to court officers, the usual sentence in cases of attempted criminal assault is twenty-one years in the penitentiary. Robert W. Wells has been assigned by the court to defend Garry. He is being tried by a jury. Stanley Jackson, an inmate of the house of reformation for colored boys, located at Cheltenham, Prince Georges county, was acquitted at the special session of the circuit court here yesterday.of the charge of murdering William Jones, another inmate. The case was tried by a jury and the full bench, Judges Briscoe, Camalier and Bell sat. On June 26 last, according to the testimony, five inmates of the institution were confined in a cell for infraction of rules. During their punishment a hazing party was alleged to have been staged, and Jackson is said to have struck Jones over the head with a bucket, inflicting a wound which resulted in his death a week later Robert W. Wells, defending Jackson, argued to the jury that the boys had been confined about twenty days and that the condition of Jones, owing to lack of proper food, was the cause of his death, and not the blow from the bucket. The jury was out about an hour. Furniture ON CREDIT Make Your Own Terms We'll give you a charge account without notes or interest and arrange the terms as you want them.
