tack was only one Of several the
bishop, has delivered since the CON
ference began: on "wednesday.
Bishop Turner's remarks came
when be introduced to the confer.
ence. Dr. D. French Hurley, Of New
Jersey. He instanced what he saigl
was the widespread prejudice against
the colered race In. this country, and
declared that his loyalty to the coun-
try was like the loyalty of Jefferson
Davis. -
The bishop said DR.. Hurley had
been In 18H battles and Is skdrmtsh-
es during the Civil War, and sWore
that he was a white man in order to
fight for the American flag. .,
~. Il used to love the American. flag

diced nation on earth. Here Negroes
can be lynched, burned alive and
skinned and nothing is done about 1t.
Il know that I have been crtti.
cised and called fool because /
believe in Negro nationality, but I
don't care any more for my critics
than I, do for the bark of dog.

because Of the whimsical prejudice
of misanthropes, and we are just

Nashville, Tenn, June '25.--A tao
1t conclusion was reached by the
board Of education that only Negroes
born, bred and educated In the South
need apply for election as teachers
in the colored schools OF this city.
This action was taken, tho board
says, for the reason that Negroes
born north Of Mason and Dixon's line
have motions" and ARE not 6amil-
far with southern traditions and SEN
timeht."
Manual training is to be introduc-
ed into The Negro schools aRd among
the applicants for the position OF

H. There has not been a more excit-

the country than has been made over
this lease. Sharp e Sloan obtained

Originally the case was under the
Jurisdiction OF Judge Sulzbacher.
Just about the time the contest be-
came fierce Judge SulZbaeAer'e
daughter was married, and. the as
sertion was made that one OF the liti-
gants sent a wedding present OF an
immense chest Of silver, valued at
81, 900, to the bride-elect. This story
was followed by the statement that
the silver service had been returned
to the donor and by "a denial from
the reputed donor that the service
had been sent. Anyway, Judge
Sulzbaoher got out Of tie case, and
now Judge Lawrence has It in hand,
and another trial will he had on one
OF the numerous CROSS branches at
Tulsa next month.

experience With complications In the
