On Tuesday morning of this week
a special committee appointed by the
National Baptist Convention for the
purpose of looking into all of the
property in this city in possession of
the three boards with headquarters
in Nashville, began it's labor. Not all
of the members we're able to reach
the city, the conspicuous absentee be-
ing Attorney VIM. H. Harrison, of
Oklahoma, to whom it was said the
Convention was looking to have in
formation upon the legal points and
data connected with the property.
1t was thought all along that Judge
Harrison would be here, but it was
given out by some of his friends with
whom he has been associated for
years and who we're we'll known to
him doing his stay as Professor at
Roger Williams University that he
was detained on important legal mat
ters that would come up In Oklahoma
just at the time he was expected here
then too, it is known that he has
charge of che constitutional test of
the jim-crow car law enactment of the
State of Oklahoma, which will be
held before the Supreme Court at st.
Paul, Mimi, next month necessitat-
ing his remaining at home getting all
of the array of facts together for this
legal battle.
Some of the committee however
came in, but owing to press of busi-
ness at home, could not remain, espe-
cially was it true with Rev. M. W.
Gilbert, D. D., pastor of the Olivet
Baptist Church, Fifty-third street,
New York, N. Y. DR.. Gilbert at. one
time pastored in this city and accord
ing to his statement, it was impossi-
BILE for him to remain throughout the
session. The personnel of the COM
mittee as given in last weeks Globe
was practically unchanged with the
exception of the presence of Rev. E.
G. Morris, President of the National
Baptist Convention, who came in
Tuesday morning to be in the COM
mittee's session for at least a part of
the time, although no member of
the committee, it was appointed by
him.
1t could not be stated early in the
week ust how long the session would
be nor how many days they would re-
main in the city. 1t was predicted |
however, that it would take about
or ten days, as the B. Y. P. U. Board |
of which e. w. D. Isaac is Secretary;
the Educational Board, of which the
late DR.. A. N. McEwen was Secretary;
and the National Baptist Publishing
Board, of which Rev. r. H. Boyd is
Secretary, would have to be looked
into. Nothing was given out at
the Baptist headquarters as to just
how far this committees power went,
and in the absence of a copy of the
National Convention proceedings, the
Globe reporter could not even see
the nature Of the resolutions but the
concensus of opinion seems to be
that this commission will follow along
the lines of the last commission,
which was here some three years ago
and which was composed of Rev. r.
t. Pollard, D. D., Selma, Ala; Rev.
T. o. Fuller, D. D., Memphis, Tenn;
Rev. J. e. Knox, d. D., now of Hous-
ton, Texas who made their reports
to the Convention showing that every
thing owned by the Convention in
this city, so far as they were able to
ascertain, was in splendid shape.

"A rumor, more or less persistent,
has been going the rounds during the
past day or two to the effect that the
present site of Peabody College Uni
versity of Nashville was about to be
taken over by Roger Williams Uni
versity, a school for Negro students.
It was said that a proposition for the
purchase of the property had been
made by persons authorized to repre-
sent Roger Williams to the Trustees
of George Peabody College for Teach
ers, and that they we're giving it fa-
vorable consideration. No confirma-
ton of the rumor can be found but on
the other hand, both parties to the
alleged deal disclaim all knowledge
of it.
One of the trustees or George Pea
body College for Teachers said this
morning: 81 find it hard to believe
that there is a single person in Nash
vile who would give credence to the
report that the old University of
Nashville grounds and buildings are
to be sold TO Negro school. You
may say positively that the trustees
will do no such thing. Besides, Roger
Williams has never made any PROPOSE
tion concerning it. Our plans may
develop something that will mean a
great deal for the old site, but it will
not mean a Negro school,"
A prominent Negro in close touch
with the affairs of Roger Williams
University, said: 81 hardly think it
possible that any offer has been made
or will be made for the old Peabody
site. We understand perfectly that
it is not the proper place for us. We
know that the white people of that
section of the city do not want us
there, and we know it is best for us,
as well as for them, that we should
not be there. Roger Williams is |
much better situated where it is now
located. We are trying to hold the
of our white friends here
at home, because we have suffered all
ready by not having them in closer
sympathy with us. The Northern
white people have not treated Roger
Williams University right and we, of
all people, know that We must de-
pend on ourselves and the Southern
white people. We 90 not want the
Peabody campus and buildings. Wal
den University would get out of South
Nashville tomorrow if It could, and
Fisk University realizes that it's work
Is hampered by not being entirely out
Of the city.
Doesn't Seem Likely.
With these views held by the two
parties it does not seem likely that
The University of Nashville grounds
will be sold to Roger Williams Uni
versity. The best information OBJ
.ainable appears to indicate that a

that County Attorney Ryan OF Mjilard

concerned there could be no offense
against the statutes OF the United States
But the building was destroyed; the fire
was Of incendiary origin. so IL Is believed
and II so IL was an offense against the
laws Of the state, so that IL Is inCum-

fire.
The airing OF the case In the United
