Ghostlike Fowl.
The bird is snowy white, but is not Of the
Leghorn breed, and might be termed
ghostlike fowl because of It's mysterious
movements, including it's sudden appear

chickens and whenever 1t lays egg 1t
does not follow up the act by cackling. as
other hens do. but leaves the nest quietly
and goes about the yard unconcernedly as
if nothing had happened. The white chicken
has also persistently declined to sit on eggs
and hatch them. Frequently the spooklike
fowl lays two eggs in one day, but never
before has she laid such a freakish and
artistic egg that of last Friday.

SAYS NEGRO is DENIED JUSTICE
Bishop Walters Wants Race to Fight
Discriminating Laws

NEW YORK, June addressing in
Brooklyn yesterday the New York annual
conference of the African Methodist Episco-
pal Church, Bishop Alexander Walters,
who is president of the Afro-American
council, directed attention to the fact that
the next convention of the council had
been called to meet in Baltimore, and said
that the meeting would be of much sig
nificance to the negroes of the country. In
speaking of various phases of the race
question. he said:
The cry today is Down with manhood,
whether white or black, and up with ma
terial gain 1t is apparent to all that
principle has given way to policy in the
halls of Legislation and the marts of COM
merce. 1t Is policy. policy, policy. while
principle is set aside. No race of people
feel this more keenly than the negro race
We have been pleading for years for simple
justice, but we have been told to wait that
materialism occupied the throne.
1T seems to us that the nation is under
a terrible delusion. believing that justice
will forever sleep, and that it can make hu-
man rights secondary, while first place Is
given to material things
In discussing lynch law the bishop said:
''All of this wickedness. after years of
agitation on the part of the pulpit and
press, both north and SOUTH shows US how
deeply seated Is prejudice against the black
man in this country. Notwithstanding the
thousands of victims who have been bru-
tally murdered by lynchers in the last TWEEN
ty years and the scores who have been
burned at the stake, still Congress looks on
indifferently, and, so far as l know has not
in all these years passed a law attempting
to check this nefarious business which is
undermining the judicial system and will
finally overthrow all law.
Our leaders should urge our brethren
to prepare to meet the qualification for
suffrage, make application to be registered,
and. wherever it is possible. to vote. Let
us wage an unrelentless warfare upon Jim
Crow car laws wherever found"

were bursting through the she'll just as
the infant birds do in real life. The minia-
