MAY GO TO NORFOLK
FOR CHARTER POINTS.
Aldermen Consider September Visit to
Convention of League Of Ameri-
can Municipalities.

Common Council may take some action
Friday night about sending the members
of the Charter Revision Commission to
Norfolk, Va, September Is, IS, % and a,
when the League of American Munici-
palities will hold It's eleventh annual con-
vention.
This assemblage will be made up Of
representatives from all parts of the
United States, who will consider the
municipal problems that are agitating city
governments.
September 81 will be called Municipal
Day and three important problems will
be discussed by prominent speakers from
the different States and Canada.
Municipal Government by Board Cor
Commission) VS.. Mayor and Common
Council Is one question ON the program.
The example set by Galveston, Tex, with
its commission government, will be dwelt
upon by the opponents of the commission
plan. Low Rates for Public Service vs..
Franchise Tax Is another question that
will receive attention.
Whether It would be better to demand
a franchise tax or to have low charges
for services rendered the public by utilities
corporations, is IL subject that is now
high In the deliberations Of Westerners,
and is one that has not been considered
much IN this locality. The charter re-
vision commission might get many good
points for their work, II Is thought.
Municipal Ownership" will be another
subject discussed.
On the 18th there will be a trip from
Norfolk TO the jamestown Exposition; on
the 18th an oyster roast at Cape Henry;
on the 10Th a steamboat excursion to Old
Point Comfort.
The members. after these days of infor-
NAL discussion Of municipal problems, will
go into convention on the 2lst to consider
particularly the three subjects that have
been mentioned.

NEGRO CRIMINALS
CHURCH LAxlTY HELPS TO
MAKE THEM-DR. J0LLEY.
Better Element Doesn't Leave Home,
"why Northern Negro Becomes
a Criminal

why the Northern Negro Becomes a
Criminal was the subject of a sermon
last night by the Rev. DR.. Storer S. Jol-
the sermon being one of a series on The
Making of a Race
Negroes who come North said the
minister, ARE the ones who will naturally
become criminals when the chance comes.
The better element Of the race does not
leave its old-time home to seek better for
tunes. Most of those In the North are Of
the unemployed class. The reason for their
coming North Is the small demand for I'm
skilled labor in the Southern towns where
they live. The educated members of the
race, to a large extent, remain where they
were born and brought up.
1T is unfair" said DR.. Jolley, 'to compare
the criminallty of the total negro population
with that of the white population and
base statistics thereon. Each race should
be divided into classes before such com
parison is made. For example. into the
rich. the middle and the poorer classes. In
that way 1t could be seen tina while the
percentage of criminals of the latter class
might be greater than among the whites,
the other divisions compare favorably to
the negro.
"One of the causes for this is
the environment in which the
Northern negro is forced to live;
In all cases they are segregated from the
whites. and In most Instances the negro
colonies are In the midst of the slums of
the city in which they i've In this way
their children are brought up amid scenes
which white children never see, and which
mould their lives accordingly.
Another factor in the fall of the negro
ia the way IN which the white lower and
criminal classes cater to the worst side of
the negro. The ~wrongdoers seem to be
the only ones who take an interest in what
becomes of the strangers from the
South. and in time they exert
an influence for the worse. The
Christian n better educated whites
leave all divisions Of the black race to
themselves n make little or no effort to
teach them better things. They should
realize this. and point the way to a higher
life and lift them above their surround
ings. Where cocaine raids have been made
among the negroes it has been found that
white men sold the drug and ran the dives
where 1t could be secured.
THE exodus from the South has been
confined almost entirely to the rural dis
tricts. Very few come north who have
lived in other cities. Their unsophisticated
state makes them easy prey for those whs
are seeking >their downfall. They are not
Initiated in the habits Of vice and do not
appreciate it's results
The criminal sta as relate to the
negro. are unfair, gathered as they are
fro the total number of arrests and
cor victiors during the year. Most of
these are for petty offenses, representing
a lesser and different tendency towards
crime.
THE courts, too, do not give the negro
n fair chance TO show whit is In him. II

Not only local societies but out-of-town So
c~ieties. singing. turning. etc, had sent
large delegations with the primary object
of swelling the fund, but also with the
secondary object Of swelling the fun. One
big help for the affair was the fact that
Christian Kurz, the owner OF Colosseum
Park and Hall, had donated the use Of
his property free OF charge.
During the afternoon the turner's were
seen In a series of performances that Sc
cured plenty of applause for them, and at
night they were again IN evidence to the
edification of the visitors. Among those
that took part were not only classes from
the Newark Turn Verein, under the
direction of the veteran teacher. George
Seikel, but classes from the National Turn
Verein.
The big concert took place at night.

tributed with chorus singing were the M.
