DurnaIu, ~. C.--SOme OF the great

been here during the present session
OF the summer school and chautauuua
OF the National Religious Training
school, but not one was occasioned
such an unique ovation as was ten.
dered Or. q. Webster Davis. the noted
poet, author, preacher. lecturer and q
staunch defender Of the rights of his
race. When DR.. Davis announced that
the state Of Virginia had accepted his
new history Of the negro race. to be
used In the Isgro schools OF that
state, he ELECTED pronounced applause
from his large audience composed of
teachers. preachers and an enthusiast
tic laity. Following some OF the most
talented men In the white race. and
lecturing to a class Of people intelli-
gently prepared to receive and appre-
ciate the best to be heard at sum
mer school and chautauqua which the
National Religious Training school is
giving the race, DR.. Davis has sus-
tanned his wellearned reputation by
his lectures, which were inspiring and
uplifting.
Dr.. Davis began with series OF leo
lures on Negro Ideals" These lee
lures were gems and exhibited pro-
found thought. careful research and
careful historical work. The ability
to be manly and courageous and not
bringing In ones attitude ION questions
Of vital import to the negro folk, was
cardinal feature of his lectures that
will undoubtedly become leayen for
great good In the life of those who
heard him and we're greatly benefited
so that they will return to their re-
spective homes imbued with the spirit
to reach the other fellow and make
him potent element In racial devel-
opment. The inspiring hymns of the
grand old characters which have the
power to reach the soul and create en-
nobling ideals for their children now

and the only distinctive American
music. the negro should feel proud Of
same. which represents character and
register his hopes. ambition and
ideals. That every person OF ebony
hue should have number Of books
written by members Of his race was
among the pertinent and strong ap-
peals made by him. Domestic IDEAL
was another subject discussed by him
that brought out variations OF the
ante-bellum period that showed how
the negro had to forge certain envir-
onments detrimental to his proper
domestic development, and he clearly
stated that the domestic ideals OF the
race were being formed by the present
generation Of Afro-Americans. He

inant factor In their lives were sanely,
practically and eloquently enunciated
by the pleasing speaker, who received
an ovation every time he lectured.
The address OF DR.. Shepard, showing
the aims and purposes Of his great In
stitutton, would make excellent Ntera-
ture. His address was pregnant with
cogent facts and proper conceptions OF
reaching and developing the race upon
the principles OF the Bible. He aroused

evidence OF the schools scope, and DR..
Shepard's plans becoming q tangible
factor for the thorough rounding OF the
character Of the race.

the wealthy Protestant Methodist
church at Steubenville, O., in deliver
ing one of the ablest addresses on the
subject The Neighbors." In fair and
deliberate manner he touched upon the
race question in a manner that created
prolonged applause at times during his
address, He said in reference to the
rights OF individuals that This de-
mand for individual rights rises above
all distinctions of color. Color Is an
incident Of life and a distinction of ma

set himself square on the race ques

premises that after all, the race ques

and in its report presented to the
House to-day by Representative Oh
colt, of New York. chairman. allega-
tons in connection with ship subsidy
bills and rejecting upop members OF
Congress. arc declared TO be wholly
false" e
.rhe report states that tho commit
tees investigation OF widespread
charges and insinuations failed to de-
Helop anything but "surmisc. susptc.o on
and rumor'' as the basis for these allie
cations. Summarizing It's findings as
10 charges against members of Con-
sress, the committee reports:
so far as tho same reflect upon
tho honesty and integrity of Hon. Hal
vor Stevenson. or any other member
OF the House. in their official capacity.
or of the membership generally. arc
wholly false"
The committee also finds that there
does not exist" any lobby in connec-
ton with ship subsidy legislation, or
any fund to support such lobby.
Charges IN Magazine.
The House committees was appointed

tho magazine published at Cleveland
by tho Merchant Marine League OF the

Reviewing all testimony before IT.,
the committee reports its inability to
find indications OF any lobby, either

With the suggestion that 1t might
be OF advantage to the House, at some
