been something not far removed from
razor play in the very opening Of the

Thcr.s wore scenes OF the utmost disor-S
dor among tho darkeys. and moro thans
once'tt seemed that personal encounters
were imminent. Tho trouble arose out of
the fact that two factions wanted tos
gain the control Of tho convention. TWoe
negroes were trying to call the body toa
order. and the result was disorder Of thes
worst character Imaginable outside of8
dance hall on Christmas night.
A few minutes after il o'clock thesi
church was well filled with delegates
and spectators. Including several dusky
represen tatves OF tho weaker sex, when
Wa Calvin Chase, chairman OF the tsxccu-
tive committee Of the local League, at
tempted to call tho convention TO order.
He was about to Introduce Rev. r. J.
Nelson, president OF the Suffrage League
OF Pennsylvania, when ROY. r. w. Scott.
OF this city, interrupted him and at
tempted to gain possession OF the floor.
Scott represented one faction Of tho
convention which wanted to have adopted
resolution thanking President Roose-
volt for hls attitude towards the negro,
end Chase another which is directly OPP
posed.
AS soon is Scott was on his feet fifty
other delegates Jumped up and began
canloring for recognition. It looked
every moment as II there was going To
be some bad trouble, and the police en-
tered ths hail. It was some time before
der was obtained, and is remarh-
able that arrests were not made.
Finally Chase got something like quiet,
In which he could be heard, and sue
ceeded In introducing Nelson. who de-
livered his address. but the police took
tia precnution to remain In and near
the building.
Booker Washington Is at the bottom OF
all the trouble. james Hays, the negro
lawyer OF Richmond. who got up tho.
tIon, is said to have been acting
directly under the orders Of Washing
ton, who wishes to control the colv.n-8
ton. But Washington, q short time ago.
said that the action of the States OF
tho soutl, In dIsfranchlslng the negro
had been to put premium on education
and thrift, and Il large section OF tho

reason. They arc DESTROYS Of destroy
