HOWARD UNIVERSITY

Wednesday, 25th ultimo. under excel
lent auspices, Howard University re-
opened its doors for its forty-frst ses-
sion.
For some time past, applications from
prospective students had been pouring
in thick and fast and the opening day
witnessed a very large registration Of
both wand former students.
The faculties were never stronger
than at present, and the outlook for a
prosperous year is extremely promising.
Sessions in the medical school and the
law school were resumed on the Ist
instant with appropriate exercises.
At the first daily chapel service Pres
ident Thirkield delivered an informal
address to the faculty and students. IN
the course Of which he announced the
retirement from the university of sew
eral professors and instructors. and the
election Of others to take their places.
He paid tribute to DR.. Frederick w.
Fairfield, who has lately been placed
upon the Carnegie Foundation and is
now living in Southern California. For
many years DR.. Fairfield had been dean
OF the College of Arts and Sciences,
and professor of Greek and Economics.
His long connection with Howard Uni
versIty and his eminent and distinguish
ed services have made him to be below
ed by all-faculg and students. The
memory of his work at Howard lives
in many grateful hearts.
Prof w Y. Tunnel read the reso-
lutions adopted by the Board of Trus-
tees concerning the termination Of DR..
Falrheld's connection with the univer-
sity. These public recognitions Of his
worth were greeted with hearty ap-
plause.
The vesper service on Sunday after
noon at 4.3o was impressive. A large
and representative audience heard with
earnest attention the eloquent discourse
delivered by the president. Especially
hne music was rendered by the full
vested choir, which is doing so much
to make the services even more attract
i've. The authorities of the University
note with pleasure the full representa-
ton of Washington citsizen at these
Sunday vespers and desire to extend a
further invitation to all that more and
more the friends OF the institution may
come to enjoy the edifying addresses
and pleasing music Of these short SER
vices on Sunday afternoons.

EDITOR BELL
He EATS CROW.

Some time in the early part OF Au-
gust the editor Of the Odd Fellows
Budget, Mr.. H. c. Bell, called to see
Editor Chase, with Mr. Henry E. Ba-
ker. After having been introduced, he
said that he wanted to know the facts
in the Howze-Knox Alabama case. Al
ter having talked fully thirty minutes,
he concluded his remarks by saying that
Grand Master Howe, OF Alabama, was
worthy man; that he (Howze) had
made the Odd Fellows in Alabama what
It is today. From sixty Odd Fellows
Grand Master Howe had increased the
organization in his State to over FIVE
hundred lodges, and that the sub COM
mittee Of management had committed a
great blunder. So far as Texas was
concerned, that State would sustain Al
ALBANIA.

the highest respect now declares that

There is great deal of complaint
made against the office of Recorder Of
Deeds.
Colored clerks are Disseminated
against in the work. Some time ago
several colored clerks were rated very
high for their excellent work. There is
someone in authority in the office. who
has made several attempts to reduce
the force. Among those who were book
ed to go were seven colored ladies and
one white man. These colored clerks
that weer booked to go are superior TO
many of the white ladies who were
booked to go.
1t IS not presumed that the Recorder
knows anything about how his colored
clerks are now being treated. It IS
quite difficult for the colored clerks to
see the recorder. Many of them are
prevented from seeing hi INTO lodge their
complaints.

RED PERKINS PLANS TO
BECOME REAL MAGNATE
WOULD FORM NEW WINTER BALL
ORGANIZATION
Six Teams Have Been Asked to Join.
No Chance for Consolidation
of Two Bush
Leagues

Hearing all this talk about Palmer of
San Diego and the winter baseball situa-
ton has made Red Perkins kind of jeal-
Gus. and if there aren't two leagues doing
business here during the cold months it
will be because the sorrel topped one is
four flushing.
Yesterday Red came through with some
fancy plans and If the deal which is now
pending goes through he will be at the
head of a real organization. Ventura,
Hoegees, Redondo, Santa Ana and San
Bernardino have all been asked to join,
and the Santa Barbara second team will
probably be invited to participate.
The plans for the entire affair will be
discussed at meeting which will be held
at 105 /. w. Hellman building this after
noon or evening, and every phase of the
situation will be gone over. Red and his
hackers are certain that they can make
the organization success, and for that
reason will get busy to have things in
shape when they are ready to put the
teams on the field.
There is nothing doing with the pro.
posed consolidation of the State league
up north and the Southern State league
in this section. The northern promoters
informed Oscar Chavez that they could
not see how the league would be a sue
cess and that too much money would be
spent in travelling to make things break
even financially.
