ENGINEERS MEET
TO HAVE THRILLER
Trains Will Dash Toward Each
Other at Mica Minute To Demon
strate New Stopping Device.

| The spectacle OF two trains dashine
! toward each other at the rate of q
mile-a.minute on a single stretch o.
track, will be one OF the thrilling
sensations arranged for the benefit Of
the delegates aud visitors TO the con
vention OF the Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Engineers. which formally op
ened its session In the Wayne Gar
dens. Wednesday evening. All too Of
ten, engineers find themselves in O
situation more or less like this. The
difference In this case will be that
tine flying trains will be automatically
stopped when within short distance
OF each other by new safety device
But 1t will certainly be lively sight
to witness. and there will always be
the chance that something might 60
wrong with the safety device. This
test will take place May II, Is and ls
on stretch OF the Pere Marquette
tracks out Michigan-ave. John La
Barre, electrical engineer of the Rail
way Automatic Safety Appliance Co.,
Is arranging the test. His device is
an electrical one so arranged that,
when two trains get on the same cleo
| tical block of track, the brakes are
automatically set and the whistles
blown.
There is a great crush Of stout
serious-faced men about the Wayne
hotel and the WAYNE Gardens at the
present time. Just how many en-
gineers are In town even the people
at the registration booth cannot say.
They figure II at somewhere between
10000 and 10000 and let II go at that.
Secret sessions are held daily in the
Wayne Gardens. the frst starting at
8 O'Clock, Wednesday morning. These
sessions will last for almost a month.
incidentally, there will be side
trips to Cleveland, Niagara Falls and
Jackson. Visiting delegations of en-
gineers will drop in from time to time
and go away again when their matters

OF the wives and daughters of en-
gineers, is In session in Clark

ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO.
Not one dollar of white capital will be az
Cepted in exchange for its securities.
There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock.
consequently there is no watered stock.
Every holder of stock from the President
down must pay at LEAST $1,000 per share for
every share of stock allotted to him.
This does not mean that the price Of stock
will REMAIN at $1,000 per share. It is $1,000
NOW. 1t will advance in price far beyond
$1,000, just as railroad and public utility stock
goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln
Memorial Building Companys stock go TO
several times its present value.
This means that a share of stock costing
$1,000 NOW will be worth $4,000 when stock
goes to four times par. Estimates show that
the Companys earnings will be 20 per cent, and
that is four times par, with every dollar In
vested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city
OF Washington, where values are as firmly fixed
as the Rock of Gibraltar
This does not mean that the price of stock
will remain at $1,000 per share. 1t is $1,000
NOW. If the Company, as il is estimated,
pays 20 per cent, $1,000 shs of stock will be
worth $4,000. IF it pays 20 per cent, single
share of $1,000 stock will be worth $1,000. Just
as railroads and public utility stocks increase
IN value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Build
ing Company's stock increase in price
The first allotment of stock at $1,000 a share
is being rapidly subscribed, and the next aIIot-
ment will be SI2.5o per share, to which point
it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are
urged to avail yourself of the present oppor-
tunity to get in completely on the ground
floor as any one of the Companys Directors
are.
The Company's Directors, by the way, are
men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as
you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain
through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY.
Their names are at the top of this page
They have unbounded faith in the future of the
Company. They have invested THEIR hard
earned money in it, and they advise you to in
vest YOUR money side by side with theirs.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE.

able SI.oo down and SI.oo per month for nine
months uDon each share subscribed for

WASHINGTON IS THE SEAT OF OUR
NATIONS GOVERNMENT.

The eyes of the world are on Washington.
One-third of Washington's population is
Negro.
If all the Negroes in Washington were colon
lied in one place they would make city larger
than Richmond, Virginia,
There are seven theatres in Washington,
supported by white population of 24I,o23-
and few foolish Negroes willing to be colon
lied in the galleries, the only place to which the
Negro is admitted
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRST
CLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of
Washington, where a ColoTed professional or
business man or woman, and there are hun
dreds of them in the National Capital. can OBJ
tain business quarters.
JUST THINK OF IT! 100000 enterprising,
thrifty, intelligent people, through race preiu-
dice, swept completely out of the business dis
triCt OF Washington; 100000 genteel, prosper
GUS, amusement loving people deprived of
every form of theatrical entertainment unless
willing to submit to the most humiliating con-
ditions.
Every colored man and woman IN Wash
ington.
Every colored man and woman VISITING
Washington.
Every colored man and woman in America,
familiar with the true state of the Negro in
Washington, realizes that theatre, store, and
Office building, operated by the Negroes for the
Negroes, is A NECESSITY.
The welfare of the race demands it.
The self-respect of the race demands it.
ANY enterprise resting its hope of success
upon NECESSITY is bound to be sue
CESS.
A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING
IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by
Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is NECES-
SITY.
Approaching to the utmost that fact
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central
Business District of the city of Washington a
magnificent theatre, seating capacity $500, and
store and Office building of splendid proper
ton, adequate in every respect to meet the re-
quirements of prosperous professional and busi-
ness men.
The enterprise is exceptional in two respects:
First-It is absolutely safe.
Second-It promises enormous possibilities
as money maker.
Features that must appeal to every man or
woman with few dollars to invest, and you
are such man or woman or you would not
have read this far
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILD
ING COMPANY has surveyed the field care
fully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants
available for the Offices, that dozens of
merchants are ready to rent the stores, and
that 100000 people anxious to patronize
the theatre exclusively and make it the best
The Washington bee., 1910-02-26

paying amusement place in America.
IT KNOWS ALL THIS AND IT IN
VITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE in an en-
terprise ABSOLUTELY DEVOID OF RISK,
where every dollar will be invested in the best
of Washington Real Estate, that Increases in
value annually at the rate of 538 per cent
nearly DOUBLE bank interest.
Even that IS good enough for most people,
but the LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMPANY will do better than that. 1t will
have Offices and stores and lodge rooms, which
will earn, on conservative estimate, at least
$23,2oo per year. Equal to 5 9-Io per cent per
annum.
The Washington bee., 1910-02-26

1t will also have theatre, which, if patron
lied at prices ranging from to so cents, by
only per cent of the total colored population
OF the city of Washington, will enable the Com
pany to pay IS per cent on its total capitaliza-
ton. Equal il all to 20 9-Io per cent, to which
may be added the land value increase of 5sE
per cent.
Now, all this is Conservatively Estimated.
Banks and Insurance Companies engage in
enterprises like this with their depositors' and
policyholders' money-YOUR money, but
YOU get only about 3 or 81 per cent The
banks or insurance companies keep the balance

How Madison Treated Me.

For about Two weeks Madison has
been my chief oppressor. But do
not be shocked-her oppression was
in the shape of kindness. Some Of
it came through galvanic battery.
Ny auditory nerve was like some
au to mobi e s-"stuttered" and
"balked." Bird notes struck my
ear drum like ball colliding with a
bat. DR.. Yates shot streams Of in
visible juice through this complicat-
ed hearing machine, and made it
"wnole again" In a physical sense
l am "a new creature. A thousand
thanks.
And some of this oppression came
in the shape of cordial welcome tc
hospitable homes. Occasionally be-
came cognizant of a tragedy in the
poultry yard--all to crafty the ap-
petite of a presiding elder. In the
homes end on the streets warm hearts
greeted me. / was not "lost IN s
