HAVE CEASED FIGHTING.
Vermont Avenue Church Troubles
Ended-Everybody Happy.

The church war at the Vermont
Avenue Baptist Church was brought
to an end in Equity Court No, , to-
dav, February 20, 1912, when, by mu-
tual consent Of all the parties con
cerned the case of Hill, ct al, vs.
Hawkins. ct al, Equity No. 5o,42S,
was discontinued; the attorneys for
plaintiffs being Jabez Lee and Blrney
and Woodward; attorney 1Or defend
ants. Thomas L. Jones, Ralston, sd
dons and Richardson.
Later in the day a reporter OF the
Washington Bee saw Attorney Jabez
Lee at his office, 600 F Street \. w,
and he made the following state
ment:
we are discontinuing litigation not
because we fear defeat nor because
we are weakening numerically or
financially. We conscientiously telt
that victory awaited us at the end.
We have a following Of a thousand
persons. whose financial ratings are
anywhere from fifty cents to nifty
thousand dollars At this very mo
ment. we have a large uneXpended
balance IN our treasury.
The sole motive of our actions IS
to preserve the integrity and useful
ness Of the Vermont Avenue Baptist
Church, and to keep its large mem
bership intact.
Our differences are to be settled
within the four walls of the said
church in a peaceful and Christian
like manner. We entertain no hard
: feelings towards our brethren, and
we are disposed to believe that they
have none towards us.
The bonds of friendship between
the members have been greatly STRAIN
ed within the last year, but they vii
be recast and we. as one great army
of the living God, under one banner
will march onward 10 capture me
world for Christ"

Wants Jobs for Whites.

The committee on credentials then
reported its we'll creased report and
the convention proceeded to perma-
nent organization. Henry Lincoln
Johnson was elected permanent chair
man without a sCintila of opposition.
He spoke forcefully for about ten
minutes, saying that the Republican
party of Georgia Is seeking to iberate
the White people OF Georgia from
political thralldom. When it does this,
he said. it will have done a greater
work than Lincoln did when he lib
Grated the Negroes from personal
thraIldom He longed to see the time
he said, when every position OF leader
ship in the Republican party of GeOr
gia Will be held by a white man, fol
under those conditions he believed
every man would have an equa
chance.
This speech. having been culminat
ed with the usual Taft tribute (mOrt

While the convention awaited thes
reports. the Rev. Jack Thornton, al

was called on to speak and made al
impression He told of the service
he had rendered his white folks
during the war, and intimated tha
the white folks had not paid MIN baC

head Of the hall association
The auditing committee consisted
of ]. K. F. Brown, K. +. Williams
and a. s. Howard. Officers OF the
hall association are: Thomas H.
Wright. president; Lawrence Clark,
vice-president; Samuel w. Watson,
secretary; Alex. T. Hicks. assistant
secretary; Joseph Manning, treasurer
For twenty-five years Of opposition,
abuse and other meanness this assO-
ciation has had to encounter. Mr
Wright. who is known for his homes
tv and integrity, has battled for the
success Of this institution, and today
his efforts have been crowned with
glory. Thomas H Wright deserves
TO be given a public testimonial by
his Odd Fellow friends and others
for the honest manner with which
he has conducted this institution.
For twenty-five years Mr.. Wright has
done all in his power to build up an
association which is a monument 70

Denounced Legislators.

The first white man to mount the
stage after the speaking began was
Roscoe Pickens, of Pickens county, a
in the legislature, and
he was the first person to broach the
race question He told of the sOveT-
eign service he had rendered the Ne
groes by iruitlessly endeavoring to
have a legislative investigation OF a
lynching and denounced the white
lawmakers for falling to aid him. He
also paid high personal and political
tribute 10 his colored brothers, and
said that with their aid he could
make a fine living without the aid OF
any Democrat.
So thoroughly in the spirit of the
universal Brotherhood OF man was his
address that an enthusiastic but in
tensely CharCOal-COlored delegate
moved that he be given the "Chautau-
qua salute, an expression OF approval
rarely seen in political gatherings
Whether there were not enough hand
kerchiefs in the convention to make a
respectable Salute whether the dele
gates did not know the nature of the
greeting, or whether they didn't care
about doing it, will never be known
1t wasn't given, anyhow.
After repeated calls, Judson W. Ly-
Ons took the stage and spoke briefly
on the value of being an American cit
izen, and urged the delegates to SET
that their constituents register III or
der to make them such.

bearing on the pioneer and most eX-
Cellent work OF the corps 1t being
the oldest by five years OF all the
CORPS in the Department OF the Po-
tomac. Miss Marie l. Jordan, IN her
happy manner, followed, and gave
more statistics, outlined the work,
paid high tribute to Negro soldiers
and Ct the excellent work Of this
corps. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, IN a
pleasing vein outlined the work OF
the order, showing that the National
W. R. c. had a membership Of over
100000 Ioval women Had collected
during the past year S6.o45.oo, and
had expended S64o5.95, and had now
in treasury $I3,63oo5. She introduced
the president and her staff, then all
past officers, giving their rank and
special qualifications. Miss A. L,
Thompkins, one of the foremost
workers in this good old corps, told
of the excellent work Of Mrs. Lay
ton, stating that she was law author
ity of the w. R. c. of this city"
A splendid collection was taken,
and all went home feeling that it
means much to be identified with the

The same businesS-like methods
were employed in each and every
other feature of the TAFT Program.
1 delegates at large were instruct
ed to vote for Taft first, last and all
the time at the Chicago convention.
The district delegates were told IN
more fancy language, but the meaning
was plain that if they did not follow
suit they had better not return to
Georgia. The Taft administration
was glorifed to the high heavens.

just like the villain does when the old

burst forth. Speaker after speaker

not called on made speeches from the

Y INDICATED At LAST
THE BRILLIANT YOUNG PRO
FESSOR INDICATED.
DR.. Thirkield Does Justice to an In
jured Teacher - Friends Jubilant
and Enemies Disappointed.

Prof. Thomas NJ Gregory, son OF
Prof. James NJ. and Mrs. Fannie NJ
Gregory, who resigned a professor
ship about a year ago, on account
of the treachery and deception OF
false friends, has been reinstated to
his former position as teacher IN the
University 1t will be remembered
that about a year ago some enyiOus
person sent an anonymous letter to
the President of Howard University,
DR.. Thirkield, that Prof. Gregory
had been guilty of conduct unbeCOm-
ing a teacher, and that his usefulness
as such had become impaired. The
Bee, at the time published the so
called evidence in full, which entirely
exonerated Prof. Gregory, but as the
matter had become public property It
was deemed best that he resign. 1t
was the bad advice given by his
friends and before the facts had been
entirely presented TO the authorities
of the University that the resignation
Of young Gregory was given to Dr.
Thirkield and accepted. The Bee has
kept in close touch with this case,
and knew several months ago that
Dr. Thirkield intended to relnstate
Prof. Gregory because he was, at the
time Of his resignation, one OF the
best teachers in the University. DIR,
Thirkield, who at all times IS willing
to be fair and just, stated that CIrcum-
stances would no doubt arise to en-
able him to right the wrong that had
been unintentionally inflicted upon
young Gregory. The first announce
ment of the reappointment of Prot
! Gregory is this day made in this issue
/ Of The Bee. Those who COnSplred tC
injure this young man, IN which Dr
| Thirkield took no part, viii be greatly
surprised when they read the rein
statement and vindication. Every Ell
! fort OF the part of young Gregory
| enemies has been inaugurated 10 mis-
represent and injure him, and WheI
| certain representations had been made
to the president and investigated were
found to be false and withou
the slightest foundation. Dr. Ihir
! kield deserves the highest cOumenda
tioa ior " nat he has done, anc +
doing for the teachers and student
OF Howard University. He hasn't
mean spirit in his body. He Is
father to Howard University and
guardian of the teachers and student,
The reinstatement of Prof Gregor
