DEVELOPS NEGRO RACE.
Dr.. James E. Shepard Explains Ad-
vantages of Education.

DR.. James E. Shepard. president OF the
National Religious Training School, at
Durham, n. c.; DIR. w. p. Thirkield,
president of Howard University. and IL.
b. F. mcfarland spoke at Metropolitan
A. NJ. E. Church last night, DR.. Shepard
declaring that religious education for the
negro race should not be overlooked in
the great wave of practical and CONF
mercial training now sweeping the coun-
try.
He said, in part:
I'm the development of a race there
Is great danger that in q commercial age
the education may become too practi-
cal: that II may be a veneer, a transitory
thing instead Of something real. For edu-
cation means development Of character
and the development of character must
come from within. IT cannot be pasted
upon an individual. 1t must be an actual
accomplishment. We are following q
false system of education If for one mo-
ment we believe that We can lift any
race or nation into a permanent state OF
serviceability by external means. 1t must
come from within-the heart must be ed
ucated."
DR.. Thirkield paid a tribute to the
work being done at the National Reli-
gious Training School. A feature of the
program was the singing by a chorus OF
young women from the National Train
Ing School for Women OF this city.

GUARD IS RECOMMENDED
Coroner's Jury in Burr Case
Suggests Plan to
Sanitarium.

At the inquest held over the body of
Miss Caroline n. Burr, killed near Relay.
Md. early yesterday morning after she
had secretly left a sanatorium, where
she had been a patient for a year and
a half. the coroner's jury found that
Miss Burr came to her death by being
struck by an eastbound b. & o. freight
train. and recommended that the sana-
forum management keep An all-night
guard on duty within the building and
another guard to patrol the grounds.
Miss Burr had been at the sanatorium
for the past year and a half, her illness
being form of melancholia, which, 1t
is said. resulted from an operation she
underwent at a Washington hospital
about three years ago. Her last visit
to Washington was about two weeks ago,
when she came to this city to transact
some business. At that time she seemed
TO be improving, both in general health
and spirits.
On receiving word from Relay that Miss
Burr's body had been found beside the
railway tracks. her brother, and a sister,
Mrs George ID. Getty, of Silver Spring,
went to Relay to take charge of the
body. Funeral arrangements have not
yet been completed, though it is prob
able the body will be taken to Mount
Holly. N. D., the old home of the family,
for interment.
Miss Burr's father was an attorney in
the office Of the solicitor Of the Treasury
curing President Grants administration
The Burr family also was on intimate
terms with the family Of President Cleve-
land, who often visited the Burr home
near Silver Spring. The family at one
time owned nearly all the land now oc-
cupied by Takoma Park

.SUFFRAGEHES THROW
MEETING IN UPROAR
Invasion of Camp Causes
Great mitigation by 0p-
ponents of Vote.

Members of the District Of Columbia
Auxiliary to the National Association OPP
posed to Woman's Suffrage say they are
indignant at the conduct of handful Of
militant suffragettes headed by a male
supporter, who attempted to weaken the
effect of the anti-suffrage meeting held
last night by the auxiliary at the Public
Library, by distributing suffrage litera-
ture throughout the audience.
A verbal clash followed the discovery
that suffrage literature was being dis
tributed, and the male leader loudly vol
unteered that despite the protests of the
anti-suffragists he was willing to take
two days off and distribute literature to
every One.''
This threw the meeting, which had just
adjourned, into an uproar, and sarcastic
remarks were flung from rank to rank,
while the anti-suffragists told the suf-
fragettes that they were adopting mill
tant English methods by interfering with
a rivals meeting, and were not in keep
ing with the American spirit. The suf-
fragettes answered the charge by saying
that the meeting was public one and
they had a right to be there.
Speakers Applauded.
Mrs Frank ]. Goodwin, secretary of
the anti-suffragists, called the meeting
to order and the addresses of Miss Emily
Bissell and Miss Minnie Bronson. an ex-
pert Of the Department Of Commerce and
Labor, were loudly applauded.
Mrs. Goodwin roundly scored the suf-
fragettes because they have not IRE
formed Utah and the other states where
women are voting, and said that divorce.
the saloon and other evils are flourish
ing as healthily as ever before in these
states. She especially criticised them for
not fighting the Mormon Church.
Miss Bissell said: I'VE stand for real
and useful relation of women to public
affairs, but as women. not as men. And
by public affairs we don't mean politics.
We believe that the only relation women
should bear to politics is that Of absent
treatment.

Absence Of cooperation between pro-
Queer and consumer. the telephone, de-
mand for a varied bill of fare. cold stor-
age and refrigeration. increased luxuries
for the farmer and the small number of
private gardens-these are responsible for
the high cost of living. In the opinion of
Walter Jones of the bureau of animal
industry. Department Of Agriculture MIR.
Jones expressed this view in his lecture
before the Y. NJ. G.. A. last night
Closer relationship between farmer and
the housekeeper. with the middle man
confined to the activities of an agent in
stead OF the whole thing, will be the way
that high cost of living can be given its
knockout, Mr.. Jones believes.

ONE FULL DAY OF SPRING.
More Rain, However, Is Predicted
for Tomorrow,

One full day Of springlike weather, at
least. is promised this region. Today and
tonight will be something like it ought to
be at this season of the year, according
to the forecaster.
Tomorrow morning may be nice and
bright, but look out for the afternoon
Rain is in sight. The wet wave may
strike here just about time the depart
mentS are closing for the afternoon and Ii
may hold off until people are getting
ready TO go to the theaters.
The seasonal average Is still something
to be attained, but a few nice days will
find Washington where it should be on
the weather report. Everywhere the
season is backward and the mercury has
been far below the average figures for
this time of year. Washington is not the
when spring will arrive to stay.

SPEAKER EXTOLS LABOR.
Socialist Blames Capitalists for Un
equal Distribution of Wealth.

That labor is the foundation OF all
wealth and that unequal distribution is
the fault of the cspitalistic system was
the assertion of Charles Edward Russell.
a socialistic writer and advocate, at the
Ingram Memorial Church last evening.
Not class hatred or envy, but the
eternal truth of the brotherhood of man
is the foundation of socialism,. the
speaker declared. These are the condi-
lions that preceded the French revolu-
ton. Poverty, crime, insanity and dis
ease are rapidly increasing. The only
cure is to realize that We are our broth
ers' keepers and that each OF us must
do his best to wipe out these things"

POLICE OFFICERS DENY
THREATENING CITIZEN
Declare Friendship for Louis
Rosenberg, Who Makes
Charges.

At the March meeting last night of the
Southeast Washington Citizens Associa-
ton at Donohoe's Hall, 314 Pennsylvania
avenue southeast, Louis Rosenberg
charged that two police officers of the
fifth precinct had made repeated threats
to get" him. and asked that the associa-
ton take steps to see that he is not per-
secuted. The policemen referred to today
denied that they have ever molested Mr..
Rosenberg and said his allegations are
wholly upfounded.
Rosenberg told the members Of the as
ISOLATION that his alleged trouble with the
ponce officers originated two or three
months ago, when he was given a permit
by Capt. Brooks assistant engineer com.
missioner, to place a showcase on the
sidewalk in front Of his place of bust
ness. The day after the showcase had
been placed in position. Mr.. Rosenberg
said, policeman ordered him to remove
1t. Mr.. Rosenberg said he informed the
policeman that he had a permit, but not
withstanding this fact he was later ar
rested and compelled to appear at the
police station. where he was required to
deposit $25 collateral.
ACCuSeS NdpCd10.
Next morning, he said. he was released,
and as he was leaving the building. he
said, police captain told him that he
would get him yet" Rosenberg stated
that friends have since informed him that
the same promise had been made by a
sergeant of police.
The two police officers referred to say
there is absolutely no foundation in fact
for the statement made by Rosenberg,
with whom, they say, they have always
been on friendly terms. The association
named Lemuel Fugitt, an attorney, to
take the matter up with Maj. Sylvester.
A motion was presented at the meeting
by w. d. Culleen favoring free text
books in the public schools of Washing
ton. At the present time free text books
are supplied to the high schools, and Mr.
Culleens resolution. which was adopted,
favors the extension Of the system to
include the high schools as we'll as the
grammar schools.
