Cut His Way Out of Blazing Car.

CUMBERLAND. Md. March Elk
press Messenger J. M. Smith. who was in
the wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad at Indian Creek Thursday night,
was brought to his home here. Mr..
Smith was injured by a barrel of apples
being hurled against his abdomen. AL
though severely hurt and with the flames
consuming his car, Smith managed to
drag himself to the emergency tool box
where he secured an ak. with which he
beat out the sliding doors. Then with
almost superhuman effort he dragged out
the small iron safe containing money and
valuables through the opening. The car
was lying on its side. His attention was
next attracted to a dog confined in a crate.
which he broke open with the ak, but the
animal. crouching with fear, refused to
come out, and was left to it's fate, while
Smith barely had time to escape.

and work side by side with hardened Of
tenders, was to make certain Of graduating
a vagrant at the best and a criminal in all
probability. Mr.. Washington supplemented
this with the statement that one of the
great evils in the south today in dealing
with colored men convicted Of crime was
the effort to get financial gain from their
services rather than to reform them.
Reformatory for Colored Youth.
Miss Bowen, president OF the Colored
Womens Clubs of Alabama, made an in
teresting report as to the organization and
building Of the reformatory for colored
youth in Alabama. This was project, she
said, of the League of Womens Clubs who
had already purchased the land and pro-
posed to maintain the institution for four
years. after which they expected the state
to take 1t over. She said that she wanted
the boys from Tuskegee to build the first
cottage. One of the troubles was to get the
children from the courts, but she thought
this could be overcome as the value Of
reforming the alleged hardened criminals,
ranging in age from seven to twelve
years, rather than sending them to herd
with the old and finished offenders, was
discovered. Rev. Mr.. Carroll of South
Carolina, speaking on the same subject,

TUSKEGEE, Ala.
Thursday. February q, 1907, there was
gathered in Douglas Hall, at Tuskegee
Institute. a representative conference COM
posed of prominent educators of both
races and those interested In the edu-
cational development of the negro This
was the second day of the conferences at
Tuskegee. which have become so famous
all over the country. The first day, as re-
lated in a former letter to The Star was
given up to the colored farmers of the
SOUTH who discussed their present condi-
| lions and planned for their future. advance
| ment. The second day was given to the
workers, and again Mr. Booker T. Wash
ington presided over the meeting The hall
was crowded with men and women some
students. but mostly representative colored
men and women from the different colored
! educational institutions in the south and
middle states. The subject laid down for
discussion was ''Fagrancy among the ne
groes and it's cure
For over four hours the subject was de-
bated Mr.. Washington, as chairman again
showing his remarkable ability in controll-
ing discussion and in bringing out the vital
points The marked feature of the whole
aHalr was the very earnest desire shown
| by the entire conference to dig down into
the V1tals of the subject and find a remedy
There was no effort to deny the existence
| or an evil in the vagrant character OLA
portion OF the race. although there was
Keen search for information as to lust how
extensive vagrancy was in different com
munlties. The main search, however and
this formed the encouraging part to those
interested in the advancement of the race
was to find the cause for vagrancy and the
remedy. From this Mr.. Washington shifted
The discussion to the thought as to what
erect education has had on the increase or
decrease OF yagrancy and crime among
the negroes. For an hour he held this
thought persistently to the grindstone and
forced the speakers to respond The mil
Versal testimony from the heads of fnstitu
ions. both white and black, was that the
education of the negro had decreased
rather than increased crime
Characteristic Suggestions.
During the day dozens of speakers were
called on. Without giving in detail the list
of speakers or Of what they said, a few
characteristic suggestions as brought out
by different speakers will give some idea
Of the scope of the discussion. One speaker
held that the marked vagrancy in the COL
ored race was entirely due to LIQUOR and
that IL the individual problem was solved
the broader one would go with it, The
problem as 1t presented itself to him was
how to discourage liquor drinking, and his
answer was to build up new spirit in the

colored churches, spirit that would ex-
communicate from social and church fell
lowship those who drank.
Rev. DIR. Easton, at the head Of the An
niston Institution in Alabama, took the
view that vagrancy grew out of wrong
training at home; that the colored men did
not make their home surroundings and life
pleasant enough, and therefore the boys
took no pride in their homes and drifted
out on the streets and roads to become
Migrants or worse. Mr.. Washington want
ed to know whether vagrancy was increas-
ing or decreasing In Admission, and DR..
Easton thought 1t was decreasing. At this
point a man arose In the audience and
after asking DIR. Easton a question said
that he took issue with him as to the home
surroundings being the main cause for the
growth of vagrancy. He said that he be-
lieved the city preachers who went to the
country were largely responsible. These
preachers, said the speaker, were men OF

than columns of words could do.
Adoption of Resolutions.
Before adjourning, the workers confer
ence adopted set of resolutions summing
up the results of the conference as follows:
1.-The members of this conference express
their sense of the gravity of the situation
brought about in recent years by the en-
istence of class of oilers and Migrants,
particularly in the cities of the south. In
view of these conditions, the members of
this conference urge:
Il. That our leaders, ministers and teach
ers take steps to impress upon the masses
of the people the seriousness of the stu
alton and to organize public opinion III
their various communities in a way to do
away with these evils.
'2. That every effort should be made to
secure wise, impartial, but rigid enforce
ment of the law against vagrancy, gam
bling and ntemperance.
80. That as the class of Migrants seems
to be largely recruited from young men
and women who leave the country to go TO
the city, new effort should be made to
improve the conditions of the people in
the country districts. particularly in re-
lation to their schools and in their oppor-
tunities to buy land and settle permanently
on the soil, so that the children of the
negro farmer will desire to remain at home
and take up the work of their fathers and
mothers upon the farm.
Dealing With Prisoners.
~. That measures be taken to improve
the methods Of dealing with prisoners par
ticularly those who are children, to the
end that they may be reformed rather than
punished, and since the customary punish
ment of confinement in prisons and convict
"a mns in close association with hardened
criminals encourages in them a disposition
to continue their life Of crime after they
have served their terms and so confirm
them in their life of crime.
I'm this connection, We rejoice to hear
from the presidents and representatives
from the leading institutions here repre-
santed that they have no records to show
that their graduates have become criminals.
''In conclusion, the members of this con-
ference desire to express their appreciation
of the work undertaken by the colored
Woman's clubs of Alabama. looking to es-
tablishment of a reformatory for colored
children in this state and to commend their
example to the colored women OF other
southern states. TOM Z. MY Els.

shiloh Church Successful.

The trustees Of Shiloh Baptist Church

poses in three weeks. Among the clubs that

told Of his work In speaking in the white
churches in South Carolina creating Q sem
timent for a reformatory. He argued that
from purely financial standpoint 1t was
cheaper to reform the young negroes
than to punish them.
Rev. r. R. Wright Of Georgia said that
Migrants were made up Of three classes;
those who can't work, those who won't
work and those who can't get work. Those
who can't work ought to be taken care of,
those who won't work ought to be dealt
with by the authorities, and it was such
institutions as this at Tuskegee that were
reducing the number of those who can't
get work. The colored people everywhere,
he said should get together and do some
thing. If Mr.. Washington is doing SO
much here, the rest could surely in their
communities do something.

Last Saturday evening being the
sixteenth wedding anniversary of Mr..

their friends gathered at the Moore
home to surprise this couple, and the
result was all that could be expected,
for the surprise was certainly a real
one. Mrs. Moore had been calling on

she entered her house found the crowd
awaiting ner, and Mr.. Moore came in
from work equally innocent of the
event planned in their honor.
The evening was spent playing
whist and lovely refreshments were
served. Dr. Dean on behalf of the
crowd presented Mr.. and Mrs. Moore
with two handsome pieces of cut
glass celery dish and spoon tray,
and expressed the sentiments of the
entire party in wishing them many
happy returns of the day.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.

morning Judge Shumate heard the
injunction case of frankie Wasson ct
al. versus George B. Fravert. The
WassOns have for some time sought
to secure right of way acr oss the
Fravert ranch to the county road.
Fravert resented their efforts in this
line and the Wassons secured tenn
porary injunction against any inter
ference on Fravert's part. At the
hearing this week Judge Shumate de-
clined to make the injunction peima
nent but continued same until next
month when the case will be tried on
its merits.
Mrs. Wasson claims the right to
cross defendants land by reason of
user but defendant denies that said
user has been continuous, alleging
that the road has been many times
changed and that no one route has
been used sufficient time to Justify the
claim of the plaintiffs to right of

Wife'S Sad Visit

A sadder incident has not happened
in Glenwood for long time than
that which occurred Sunday night
when Mrs Gus.ave Anderson of Ko-
komo, Colo, arrived here and hasten
ed tc the Kendrick cottages to see her
husband and on entering his room
found him dead Mr.. Anderson had
been in town some two weeks, having
come to a lower altitude for relief
from heart trouble and BrIght's dis
ease from which he had been suffering
for some time and it was thought
that the change would prove of benefit
to him. He had telegraphed his
wife of his intention to return home,
however, as the doctors gave him no
hope of recovery and in as tactful
manner as possible suggested that he
would be as we'll or perhaps better at
home, but Mrs Anderson, feeling that
she would rather he would have the
benefit of the doubt, told him to stay
and she would come down to be with
him. She reached here too late,
though, for he had already passed
away.
Deceased was a we'll known hotel
keeper at kokomo and has lived there
fo1 years. Undertaken Schwarz pre-
pared the body for burial and shipped
it to the old home for interment.
