Philadelphia, September 1S.-At to-
days session of the National Negro
Baptist convention. J. Thomas Turner,
of Texas. introduced the following res
olution:
Whereas, The unwarranted destruc-
ton of human life and the breaking
down of constitutional government
have been perpetrated through mob
violence. which often puts an innocent
man to death for an alleged crime
against womanhood. Be it
Resolved, That we lmplore our peo-
pie to refrain from any act that gives
the mob an occasion or pretex for its
unholy and u~nwarranted destruction Of
such lives n the breaking down of

The resolution was referred to a COM
mittee.
The book Leopard Spots by Thos.
Dixon was denounced IN a resolution

course of his speech said:
In a large degree, the negro minis

I'm a peculiar sense you will find
more and more that il will become the
duty of the negro minister to take the
unpopular side of many public Ques-
tons. What we need in an %increasir
degree is that kind Of leadership IN

In his further remarks, he said:
