FUNERAL OF ALEXANDER TUCKER

Petersburg, Va. Dec. 16-The re-
mains of Mr.. Alexander Tucker, a
former well known resident reached
this city last Friday night about nine
o'clock. After lingering illness on
Dec. 6, Mr.. Tucker died in st. Paul,
Mimi, where he had made his home
during the past Is or 16 years. His
sister, Miss Rachel Tucker, left her
home in New York for st. Paul after
hearing of his death, and accom-
panied the deceased to his boyhood's s
home. There they were met by lov-
ing relatives and sympathetic friends
and the cortege proceeded to Wilker-
sons undertaking parlors where the
body reposed in state until Sunday
morning. The funeral services were
held at the Gilfield Baptist Church
Sunday at 100 p. M. They were con-
Quoted by Rev. J. Davis, of Rich
mond, and Rev. Ellis Watts, pastor of
the First Ebenezer Baptist Church of
this city. The services were beauti-
full and impressive-portraying in
their every utterance the sterling hon
esty, retiring modesty and clean and
lovable character of the deceased.
Jerusalem Lodge No. 16, A. F. and A
Masons, B. r. Mabry, w. M. and w.
A. Penn Sec'y. conducted the serv-
ices in behalf of Doric Lodge No. 8,
of Duluth, Mimi, Of which Mr.. Tucker
was Past Master. After the serv-
ices at the church, the remains were
escorted to Old Blandford, where all
that was mortal was deposited in the
earth beside his beloved mother, who
had only preceded him by a few
years. Mr.. Tucker was a splendid
young man. Perhaps his strongest
characteristic was his love and care
OF his aged mother. He made special
provision for her and some years ago
retired her so that her latter days
were spent In peace and comfort. Two
other sisters from New York, Mrs.
Mary Dodson James and Mrs. Sarah
Jones, were here to the Obesequies
They were accompanied by Mr.. Craw.
ford Jones, nephew of Mr.. Tucker,
who is Cornell graduate, in whom
his uncle took a special interest. The
following gentlemen acted as pail
bearers: Messrs A. J. Smith, C. T.

United States Minister to Liberia sue.
eunbs to African Fever.
By N. BARNETT DoDsoN.
William D. Crum, M. D., United
States minister to Liberia, whose death
occurred at his home in Charleston. g.
O., on Saturday, Dec. Z, was well
known throughout the country as q
man Of fine qualities. On Tuesday,
June Z, 1910. President william a.
Taft nominated DR.. Crum to be minis.
ter resident and consul general at Mon.
rovia, Liberia.
The nomination Of DR.. Crum met the
approval Of the senate, and he was con.
nrmed for the position with little op.
position from southerners. His work
In Liberia was eminently satisfactory,
and it was with reluctance that he waa
compelled to return to the United
States, owing to Ill health, having con-
tracted the African fever, from which
he never recovered.
DR.. Crum achieved fame when Presi.
dent Roosevelt appointed him collector
of customs at Charleston on Jan. 8,
1908. Senator Tillman led flarce fight
against his confirmation on the sole
ground that he was a Negro. No
charges were preferred against him,
and he was admitted to be a man of
integrity and high standing. Action
was prevented until Jan. 6, 1905, or one
day more than two years. During that
period he served under a series Of re-
cess appointments.
President Roosevelt on Dec. 8, 1908.
named DR.. Crum for another term.
Early in January of the following year
President Elect Taft made speeches in
the south in which he gave assurances
that Negroes would not be given fed
eral Offices in antagonism to popular
protests.
When the special session Of the sen.
ate following the Inauguration Of Mr..
Taft expired March IA, 1909. DR.. Crum
had not been confirmed.
1t was then squarely up to President
Taft to stand by his speeches aud
name somebody else. He did 50 and
designated Edward w. Durant, Jr., a
white man. as collector, announcing
that DR.. Crum had resigned. ..---.-

closer union the young men from their

potent factors. resulting in the signal
defeat Of the infamous grandfather

CLARK university, Atlanta, Ga. says
Whittier a. Wright Of Philadelphia.
DR.. Crogman is a great man as an
educator, and in Christian character
and scholarship 1t is safe to say he
stands among the first four, II not at
the very head. of the colored race.
DR.. Crogman was born on the island
of st. Martins. May 8, 1S41. In 1855 he
went to sea. He visited many lands
and, observant and thoughtful, OBJ
tanned a wide knowledge Of various ma,
tionalities and parts of the world. His
visits included especially England. va
rious points on the continent Of Eu.
rope, Calcutta and Bombay in Asia
and various places in South America.
DR.. Crogman is an alumnus Of Pierce
college and Atlanta university. He
served as instructor in English branches
at Clafiin university, Orangeburg, 8.
c., for three years. He was called to
his present chair in 1880. For several
years Professor Crogman served as
president of Clark university.
DR.. Crogman is the author of several
pamphlets and also Of the book entitled
Talks For the Times"
Several years ago a university Of
good standing conferred upon Profes
sor Crogman the degree Of LII. D., but
in his modesty he insists on declining
the use Of the title, saying that he does
not consider himself worthy Of the
honor it implies.
The general conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church Of 1892 provided
for university senate, to be COM
posed Of fifteen practical educators
chosen by the bishops, to determine
the minimum requirements In our
church colleges and universities for the
baccalaureate degree. Professor Crog-
man has been q member Of this senate
for many years.
The projection of the cotton states
and international exposition In Atlanta
for 1896 must be regarded as one Of
the boldest and most enterprising un-
dertakings of our wonderful American
history when we consider the size Of
the city. the financial condition Of the
south and the nation and the proximity
In time and location of the Worlds fair
in Chicago.
It was soon seen that to succeed the
exposition must have some distinguish
ing characteristic and that II large
and representative Negro exhibit could
be secured II would be a unique fea-
ture. Professor Crogman was sent
throughout the leading cities Of the
south to present the matter to the col
ored people and secure their cO-opera-
ton.
He spent a considerable time in each
of the twenty largest cities. Many Of
the leaders and educators Of the COL
ored people said: I'VE have been de-
ceived and wrongly treated 30 many
times and in so many ways that we
are slow to take part in any enterprise
Of this kind. But the fact that Pro
fessor Crogman. representative edu-
:ator Of our own race, presents this
subject shows that its purpose is for
the education and advancement Of our
people, and we are ready to engage In

IRELAND so YEARS IN SERVICE.
Archbishop Plans Quiet Observance
Of Anniuersa m nf NrdIna4iaa


Archbishop John Ireland does not
plan any special celebration in honor
of the golden anniversary of his or
dination to the priesthood which falls
on Dec. 21. 1t was stated today the
archbishop had planned to observe
the day quietly. The anniversary
serves to call attention to the fact
that only three members of the Ro-
man Catholic hierarchy in the United
States are older in point of service
than Archbishop Ireland, they being
Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, Arch
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia and
Bishop Hogan of Kansas City.
