rose to say that, in the seven years
he had lived in Kaimuld he recalled
by only a moments thought at least
$4,000 worth of property burned in
Kaimuh and Palolo, with never d
chance for any building once the fire
got hold And the same may be said
of Manoa, he added on the prCmptins
of A. p. Taylor at the press table.
]. H. Fisher, the Territorial auditor,
being asked for information, said ne
thought the estimate CT revenue was
conservative and that the receipts
would be $4,000 more.
Mr., Murray having several times ex-
pressed a desire to know the opinion
Of the visitors on the Hotel street
proposition, Mr. Logan moved, second
ed by Mr.. McCandless, that it was the
sense of the visitors that Hotel street
widening should be one Of the main
objects of the supervisors the coming
year This carried by twenty-one 10
one, and the one dissenting voice was
taken as joke, being that of Mr.. War
ham, proprietor of the Manhattan res
taurant which will have its front
chopped off in the widening process.
Mr.. McCandless moved similar APP
proval for the Puuloa road project.
w. r. Harrington seconded the mo-
ton, referring to the large number of
a good class of workmen that the road
would benefit. I'VE want to see more
of them he said, 1t was certainly a
small amount to pay in comparison
with the millions being spent on the
naval station to which the road would
lead. He understood that Admiral

strongly urging the construction of the
road.

A New Steamboat.

The books of the Columbia Steam
boat Company are now open for char
tiers. Until the downtown Office is
opened the charter will be made at
the residence of the manager, Jeffer-
son s. Coage, No. 1911 Eleventh street
northwest. The members of the new
company, along with the manager,
were in New York last week, and are
now high in their praise of the new
steamer Columbia, at present being mt
ted out. This enterprise IS being man
aged solely by men of Our own color
in this city, with the exception of one
stockholder, who comes from New
York City, a member of the bar, and
a highly creditable gentleman Of our
race. Mr.. COage reported last even
ing at the meeting that already every
Sunday and holiday had been spoken
for by well-known clubs of the city.
The season promises to be the best
vet seen on the Potomac River. The
steamer Columbia will easily outclasS
any excursion boat that the COlOTed
people have tried to operate on the Pc
tomac River. In addition to her two pi-
amos, one in the palm garden on first
deck, and the other in the dance hall
on second deck, there will be an or
chestra daily employed by the com
panv to furnish music for the passen-
gers: so there will be no need of or
carnations hiring music. Another
item of much concern to chartering
parties is the printing: In order that
the new company may be properly ad-
vertised and the printing uniformly
done, the company will have the print
ing done by one firm, under contract
the cost of which the charterer anC
the steamboat company viii divide
equally. The Sunday dates will be let
on a 3I-3 per cent basis to the char
tering party, starting with the mrs
passenger. A deposit of SIS Will bt
required on each Sunday date, and SIC
on week days, and S. on moonigh'
outings.
There will be no stateroom accom-
modations on this steamer. The bal
will be closed on all religious excur
sions without extra charge. The Bee
will weekly outline the policy of thi:
company. Telephone connections.

The Great Conference
INTERNATIONAL CONFER
ENCE ON THE NEGRO.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
April II, I8 and I9, 1919.

For some years past have had in
mind to invite here from different
parts of the world-from Europe, At
rica, the West Indies and North and
South America-persons who are ac-
lively interested or directly engaged
as missionaries, or otherwise, in the
work that is going on in Africa and
elsewhere for the education agd NJ
building OF Negro peoples.
For this purpose it has been deter
mined to hold at Tuskegee Institute,
Alabama, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, April II, IS and 70. 1912, a
little more than a year from this time,
an international conference on the
Negro. Such a conference as this
will offer the opportunity for those
engaged in any kind of service in All
rica, or the countries above mention
ed, to become more intimately aC-
quainted with the work and the prob
lens of Africa and these other COun-
tries. Such a meeting will be valua-
bic and helpful, also, in so far as 1t
will give opportunity for a general in
terchange of ideas in organizing and
systematizing the work of education
of the native peoples in Africa and
elsewhere and the preparation of
teachers for that work. Wider knowl-
edge of the work that each is doing
should open means of cooperation
that do not now exist.
The object of calling this confer
ence at Tuskegee Institute IS to af-
ford an opportunity for studying the
methods employed in helping the Ne
gro people of the United States, with
a view of deciding to what extent
Tuskegee and Hampton methods may
be applied to conditions in these coun-
tries, as we'll as to conditions IN Al
riCa,
1t is hoped that numbers Of people
representing the different govern
ments interested in Africa and the
West Indies, as well as representa-
tives from the United States and the
countries of South America, will de-
eide to attend this conference. Es-
pecially is it urged that missionary
and other workers sin these various
countries be present and take an act
i've part in the deliberations of the
conference.
1t is desirable, in any case, to have
any suggestions as to what might be
done to make the work of the con
ference more helpful to all concerned
The names of persons who would like
to be present, with whom you are ac
uuainted, will be appreciated, anC
through you they are invited to bt
present and take part in the dellbera
tions of the conference.
Those who come to Tuskegee prop
erlv accredited will be welcomed anC
entertained as guests of the instltu
ton, and will be under no expens'
during their stay here.

VIII ThirkieId RGSign2
DEMANDS RESIGNATION.
Howard University Should Be Gov
erned by Negroes

The frequent injustiCes to the Ne
groes at Howard University and the
many small things that are done
which operate against the welfare OF
the institution and students and teach
ers demand that a cOlOred man be
placed at the head of that institution.
The recent forced resignation OF Pro-
fessors Gregory and Washington, two
young and competent teachers, fully
demonstrates the necessity of an i'm
mediate change in the presidency of
that institution. At a meeting of the
executive committee of the board OF
trustees of Howard University, held
in the Office of Judge Atkinson on last
Saturday evening, for the purpose OF
investigating the alleged charges
against the two young men, which re-
suited in their dismissal on an anony-
nous letter that President Thirkield
said that he had received concerning
the two young men. Attorneys Cobb
and Davis represented the two teach
ers. President Thirkield was asked
several questions by Attorney Cobb
as to whom he got his information
from concerning the two young men.
The President hesitated to state, but
Mr.. Cobb asked him if he had not re-
ceiVed his information in an anOny-
nous letter? The President declined
to answer, but Attorney Cobb insisted
on an answer, and the President even
tualy admitted that he had. Several
other questions were put to the Pres1-
dent, but the attorney could not Sc
cure direct answers. The entire fac
ulty-that is the colored members OF
tn, faeulty-including, Mr.. Cummins
(white), had no knowledge of the al
legged offense against the young men.
Professor Cook, in reply to a question
from Attorney Cobb, stated that Pres
ident Thirkield had given him categor-
ical questions upon which he drew a
conclusion, and had he known what
President Thirkield was after he never
would have answered the questions as
he did None of the faculty knew OF
the alleged offense, and all that PresI-
dent Thirllield knew was from the al
legged anonymous letter and what the
young men were alleged to have SAID
to him, which they partly denied, and
contradicted the President in many OF
his statements. The executive COM
mittee went into executive session at
the conclusion of the argument by
counsel Judge Atkins made remark
which Attorney Cobb said was an in
suit 70 him and his race. The remark
was: Cobb, you know we have to deal
with your people differently from what
we deal with the white people" Mr.
Cobb answered: 81 resent that remark
as an insult to my race, as well as tc
myself" Judge Atkinson stated that he
meant no harm.
Attorney Harry Davis is Of the
orinion that a colored man should be
at the head of Howard University
that no president of any institution
should have resorted to such drastic
measures. The following letter ha:
been received from the secretary o.
the university, Mr. Cook: -.

After hearing the testimony Of the
Messrs. Gregory and Washington and
