new Y. NJ. C. A. BUILDING
IN WASHINGTON SOON
To Be DEDICATED

Washington, D. C.-Long-
applause greeted the announcement
of Secretaries j. E. Moorland and L.
E. Johnson at the great meeting OF
the Y. M. c. A at the New Howard
theater that the magnificent $1,000
home of the association on Twelfth
street will be ready for dedication by
the first of April. The generosity of
Mr. julius Rosenwald in sending his
check for the conditional S25, 900 some
what ahead of time renders it possible
for the contractors to resume the de-
layed work on the structure, and an
to completion as rapidly as circum-
stances will warrant.
The building is four stories and
basement, and contains Al dormitor-
les, boys department, school rooms,
Bible class apartments, a large lob
by, reading room, lunch room, gym
nasium, swimming pool, locker rooms,
shower baths, bowling alleys, barber
shop and reception rooms. The third
and fourth floors, containing the dor
mitories, are already completed and
they are beautifully appointed. When
finished, the building will be the
finest of its kind for colored people
in the world. OF the 100000 cost,
the colored people of Washington
have paid more than $4,000; John d.
Rockefeller gave $25.OOO; julius Ros-
enwald gave $4,000; the central AS
sociation has raised about $1,000, to
help secure the Rosenwald benefac-
tion; and the remaining $4,000 will be
in hand by the time the building is
dedicated few weeks hence.
1t must not be overlooked that the
credit for inducing Mr.. Rosenwald to
include the Washington branch in the
sphere Of his $25,000 offer is due in
largest measure to the persuasive ell
oquence of President Taft, who earn
estly pointed out to him the crying
necessity for such Christianizing in
fiuence in a community that embraced
a negro population of 100000, with
countless young men unreached by
agencies that tended to lead them
from temptation.

NEW USE FOR CACTUS.

A consular report from Montevideo
suggests that the people of the south
western United States. where cactus
is abundant, and often a nuisance,
might follow the example of the Uru-
guayans and utilize this plant in max
ing whitewash. When travelling
through the rural districts of Uruguay
ones attention is attracted by the fine
white color of the farm buildings,
even during the wet season. The
whitewash is made from the sliced
leaves of the common cactus, macer-
ated in water for "a hours. To the
creamy solution thus produced is
added lime. When applied to any sur
face a durable. pearly white appear
snce is produced.

,. To FIGHT FIREMAN FLYNN

Chicago.-After eighteen months Of
idleness. Jack Johnson, the champion
heavyweight pugilist of the world,
signed articles here to fight a finish
battle with Jim Flynn, the Pueblo
fireman. generally regarded as one of
the best white hopes" The fight
will take place in Nevada next July.
AS a tentative date July % was select
ed but this may be changed at any
time. The fight will be staged either
at Windward or the metropolis
For his services johnson is to re-
ceive $31, 100 and one-third of the re-
ceipts from the sale of the moving
picture rights. Flynn's share of the
purse was not announced. He will be
paid by his manager, Jack Curley,
who represents the promoters.
This means the Johnson-McVey
fight may be shoveled. Before May
l, however, Flynn will fight AL Kubiak
of Toronto, and possibly AL Palser of
New York. Johnson protested against
the Palser match.
A referee will be selected later
Tim Sullivan of New York, who held
the forfeit money for the Jeffries-
Johnson battle, was chosen stakehold-
er. Before February 16 Curley must
post forfeit of $4,000 and j. John
son and Flynn $4,000 each. Johnson
objected to only sections of the arti-
cles. He demurred to having to post
pone the McVey battle and the
amount of money he is to receive for
training. s1.100. He wanted $1,000
cash. three round-trip tickets to Salt
Lake City and the transportation
charges on his three automobiles.
Curley explained to Johnson that
training site at Lagoon, 1S miles from
Salt Lake and on a fine drive, would
be obtained for him If he would agree
to the s1,100 proposition, and this so
pleased the champion that he signed
without further protest.

By GEORGE FRANCIS KING.

By GEORGE FRANCIS KING.
Wilmington, N C.-There is a grow
Ing interest in this section of the south
to conserve movements for the good Of
humanitl, and the better element
among the Afro-Americans is quite
conspicuous in giving impetus to COM
mendable activities. A notable work
that is an essential factor in alleviat-
ing the suffering of the lowly element
of both races in this city is the Red
Cross society. This organization Is
encouraged by the progressive Afro
Americans. Foremost among them is
quiet, unassuming, but progressive
minister in the person of DR.. w. H.
Moore, pastor of Shiloh Baptist
church
He is identified with many organi-
cations which are directing the ne
gro's activities into avenues of higher
usefulness. He believes that our peo-
pie can become desirable element in
any organized body development of
the masses. Il believe that as race
we should register the fact that we
are not aliens to anything that meets
the appreciation of good citizens The
Red Cross society is doing good
work among US, and it is a concrete
index to the fact that we must become
more public spirited for our good.
I'VE need in this city many other
movements that will reach the ele-
ment of our race that is left to evil
tendencies What we need is move
ment that will reach the class of our
young people who have not had the
proper kind of environment. There is
an encouraging spirit on the part of
our leading colored men and women
of this state to work for the unfortu-
nate of our young people, such as the
reformatory for the youth of the race,
which Is now the cynosure for those
interested in saving the young.
This organization will prevent hun
dreds of the youthful 1ncorrigibles
from becoming associates of hardened
criminals, and hundreds of this class
of boys who are sent to the road will
become inspired by the principles of
the institution in which they will be
trained and will live useful lives. l
will contribute all that I am capable
of giving to any movement that will
help us and the community in which
/ reside" said DR.. Moore when he was
asked by representative of the press.
what was the inclination of the Afro
American folk in North Carolina to-
ward any effort for charitable pur-
poses.
Dr. Moore is highly esteemed by
citizens of both races in this state. He,
is an optimist and believes in the
great possibilities of the negro becom-
ing a worldwide factor in the advance
ment of Christian civilization. He is
an admirer Of young men who are in
terested in themselves to the extent
that they will sacrifice much to make
material advancement. After receiv-
ing his literary training he did peda-
gogic work In Pender county, this
state, and later accepted the principal
ship of the graded school at Conway,
S. c.
During the period that he was reach
ing the lives of hundreds of boys and
girls of his race he felt divinely called
to the ministry. In 1865, he was or
dained and became a power for the
advancing of the cause for which he
had been especially prepared. He soon
became one of the leading ministers
in the Middle District Baptist associ-
alton.
