Northeastern Federation Believes Gov
eminent Can Stop Mob Violence.
The committee on resolutions at the
recent meeting Of the Northeastern
Federation of Women's Clubs held in
Jersey City, N. j., made the follow
Ing report. which was adopted:
We, the resolutions committee Of the
Federation Of Women's
Clubs, assembled in Jersey City, N. j.,
In the Lafayette Presbyterian church,
beg to submit for your consideration
and adoption the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we unanimously express
our gratitude to the Entertaining club,
the Afro-American Women's Industrial
league also to the Art club, which so ably
assisted them, and to the mayor Of the
city for his cordial words Of welcome:
also to the pastor and members Of the
Lafayette Presbyterian church.
Resolved, That we extend our hearty
thanks to the little pages and to all those
who faithfully served on the program and
that we congratulate the race for the
splendid number of graduates who have
come from our schools and colleges this
year We commend the parents of these
graduates for their sacrifice and persever-
ance, thereby making 1t possible for these
graduates to reach the desired goal.
Resolved, That we deplore the steady
increase of lynchings and the continued
apathy of the United States government
in not enforcing the constitution even
when women and children are being
lynched. AS II Is known the United States
government does anything 1t deems best
for the protection of American citizens,
we feel act and others similar Of the
constitution make it possible for the gov
eminent to prevent lynchings without
state legislation. That we extend to the
National Association For the Advance
ment Of Colored People thanks for It's
great work in protecting and advancing
the rights of our people.
AS we carefully look with microscopic
eyes over the platforms Of the two great
political parties In our country we see no
solution Of our great American problem.
We beg every woman here and at home
connected with this body to pray, labor
and work. above all. urging them to stand
united In the solving Of our own problem.

YoUNo's LATEST VENTURE.
Former ksntuokian Ereots Magnificent
100000 Casino In New York.

Former ksntuokian Ereets Magnificent
100000 Casino In New York.
BY FRANKLIN r. JOHNSON.
New York.-With the opening Of the
100000 Young's casino in West One
Hundred and Thirty-fourth street and
Park avenue, the largest and most
costly building Of its kind owned by
the race in the east, our people are
rejoicing. For years it has been sadly
told of New York that there was not
hall owned by the colored people in
Greater New York where convention
or other large gathering could be con
veniently held. ...
The actual placing at the hands of
the colored people Of this city Of the
much needed hall for the accommoda-
tion Of their various gatherings is due
to the foresight and enterprise Of
Gideon L. Young.
Gideon L. Young Is a native Of Ken
lucky, but has been In the east for
the past seventeen years. He has con-
Quoted business places in several New
England cities and for the past seven
years has conducted restaurant at
100 West One Hundred and Thirty
fifth street, this city. He has a large
circle Of friends in various sections of
the country.
The structure is Of colonial design,
built Of brick with Indiana limestone
trimmings. 1t runs eighty-five feet
along Park avenue and 125 feet along
One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street.
1t is f1reproof, heated by steam and
lighted by electricity. A banquet hall
to seat 1900 persons takes up the
basement. The main floor, with gal
lery, will seat $500 persons. A roof
garden, on which light vaudeville
will be feature, Is also one of the
attractions. Two fifteen feet courts
are at the northern and western ends
of the structure.
Though the casino was only formally
opened the latter part Of July, the
various organizations have already
booked dates that will keep the hall
open nightly until late in the winter.
Alexander Rogers, the manager, is
well known in the theatrical world,
having spent ten years with the old
Williams and Walker company. He
has written number of the most
popular songs of the day.

commentator as Mr.. Sargent sees it
to give the others As regards the use
of gravel in road making and as regards
the plentitude OF gravel in almost every
section of the state, there can be no
question. Gravel makes the best country
road that can be built for reasonable
outlay of money; indeed, they are much
superior in ability to stand their burden
and in ease of travel to many kinds OF
roads which cost a great deal more mon
ey. And, therefore, Mr.. Sargent's words
about the use OF gravel cannot be EN-
phasized any too strongly. The more
gravel roads we have, the better, There
are other features OF the report which
should command attention from all Yer
monters. And, finally, we should not
rest satisfied with the results already
accomplished, however good those results
may be, but we should plan to make
extensive increase to the area of good
roads. The money spent in the work
will come back to us manyfold in a
few years.

BAN ON SUNDAY FUNERALS
Adopted by Barre Clergymen at Re
cent Meeting.

Barre clergymen, who met at the ten.
mis- courts on Gospel Village common
Monday afternoon for the regular meet
ing of the ministers association, took
an important stand on the Sunday flu
neral question, and if the members adj
here to the resolution adopted it will
mean that Sunday funerals, except under
eXtenuating circumstances, viii not be
conducted by the members The gath
ering was attended by minister from
every church in Barre, and the action
taken is rot without its significance.
The resolution, as adopted. is said to be
in line with a growing tendency to abol-
ish the custom of holding funerals on
the Sabbath.
In the resolution, however. is the pro-
viso that 4 clergyman may officiate at
a Sunday funeral if the conditions seem
to be obligatory. 1t is understood that
the resolution was adopted unanimously
and that all of the members favored the
plan as soon as it was suggested.
During the afternoon, portion of the
time was gwen over to discussion OF
other projected arrangements and addi-
tional details of the action taken will be
at later date. Several sets
Of tennis were in order at the close OF
the meeting.

THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
APPOINTMENTS.

Lieut.. Gov. Howe and Speaker Plum
ley arranged the committees OF their
respective branches of the Vermont leg
islature so that experienced men are,
ms a rule. placed at the head of the
committees; and the selections for the
different phases of the work are well
made generally. Mr., Adams OF MARI
boro, one of the few veterans OF the
House, stands at the head of the COM
mittee on elections; Mr.. Weeks OF Mid
dlebury is chairman of the ways and
means committee; Mr.. Ryder of Rock
ingham is entitled to the leadership Of
the important judiciary committee; Mr..
Billings of Woodstock leads the appro-
priations committee, another important
post; and so ON through the list as far
as the supply of veteran legislators in
the House permits. In the Senate, there
are a number of old members to select
from: Darling of Orange county, Bah
bitt of Windham county, McFeeters OIL
Franklin county, McCuen of Addisoa
county, Chaffee of Rutland county,
House of Washington county, Dale of
Essex county, and others. This large
number has enabled Lieut.. Gov. Howe to-
make up some strong committees for
the work of the session. And, with the
preliminaries and the outside attractions
of the present week out of the way, the
members should be in position to get
down to serious and effective work at
the beginning of another week.

everyone in Vermont, particularly those
