BABY'S NOVEL HAT,
GRANITE WARE POT,
is SOFT SOAPED OFF

NEW YORK, MAY 1S.-The world of
surgery was startled by a marvellous
operation when Dr. Sovak. of Bellevue.
amid the applause Of assembled sur
geons and nurses, removed an entire
grante-ware cooking pot from baby's
head
The pot was stuck fast on top. COW
ering the Youngsters eyes. but leaving
him full room for the exercise of his
vocal talents.
When his mother carried him through
the streets all the way to the hospital
she was followed by an alarmed and
sympathetic crowd. The pot, wedged
down over the little dome. seemed GER
tainly to conceal some dreadful injury.
The screams Of the child increased the
feeling of dread among those who knew
nothing about babies.
Realizing that it was a case new to
surgery DR.. Sovak adopted unique
methods. Two attendants stood Peter
on his head while the doctor applied
soft soap in generous quantities round
the edge of the pot. Then by slow and
careful manipulation through a full
half hour he gradually divorced the
baby from the clinging pot.
The unpleasant lid" removed, little
Peter sat up, stared blankly and in
dignantly at the doctor for moment

FIGHT To REPEAL
AMENDMENT 10
Mississippi Convention Again
to Consider Urging That
Move at Baltimore Meet.

JACKSON. MISS. May 1S.-"We
urge our senators and congressman,
both in this state and the nation, to
submit to the people of America an
amendment of the Federal constitution
repeating the fifteenth and modifying
the fourteenth amendment.
This is the clause in the platform Of
the Democratic party in Mississippi
that tho twenty delegates from this
state are expected 10 present to the ma
tional convention at Baltimore, and the
outcome of the agitation Of the ques-
ton if it attains that dignity, is being
awaited with much interest in the state.
For the past eight years MI Varda :
mans advocacy of the repeal of the ftf-
teenth amendment and modification OF
The fourteenth amendment have been
his principal political propaga nda but
this is the first time that he has at
tempted to carry it into the council
chamber of the party and have it made
part of the national platform.
The Mississippi delegates, while in
structed to vote as unit, are not a unit
on this question Seven of them are
pronounced -Nardaman men. and
therefore not likely to give him any
material aid in the agitation first, be-
cause they believe it would be unwise
to agitate such a question at this time,
when the Democratic party has SPLEEN
did prospects of success, and, second,
because they do not believe any sug-
gestion Of such a plank in the platform
| ka fot ,r,aif m
lutions
The verbiage of the resolution in
structing the state delegation for I'm
derwood is also a subject of much dis
cussion The resolution declares that
the members of the delegation must
vote for Underwood and vote for him
first, last and all of the time" Under
strict Interpretation of this sentence,
it would seem that in event of Under
woods withdrawal during the early bal
otting. the Mississippi delegation must
keep on voting for him. and therefore
have no voice in the actual naming of
the party standard bearer.
The last public utterance, almost q
dying declaration from the lips of.C. II.
| Alexander, one OF the state large
delegates, was to the effect that he did
not recognize the authority of the state
convention to give him instructions
more stringent than those he had re-
ceved from the people in the primary
election; that he regarded the voice Of
the people as a more supreme authority
than a delegate convention. and. in
event of Underwoods retirement would
feel himself at liberty to vote for any
body he might see fit This, it is learned
on good authority, is the same feeling
cherished bV other anti Narda man
members of the delegation.

Assembly Opposes AppIica-

BRISTOL. TENN. May 1S.-A spe
cial committee of the Southern Pres
oyterian general assembly. now in ses-
sion here today. reported strongly
against the overtures Of presbyteries
for the recall to be applied to church
oHicers. Dr. John r Cannon. chairman
OF the committee. made the report con-
demning the proposed ecclesiastical
recall in strong terms. The commit
tee declared it to be against every
scriptural teaching and the tenets of
the church
We find that in the apostolic time
the term of service was indefinite, and
If care and prayer is used in the cleo
ton of church officers we believe the
recall will be unnecessary"
The report says that it would tend to

The committee adds:
"The basis of representation recon-
mended is in closer harmony With our
church forms than the one we nov
have 1t will yield 4 fairer and more
equitable representation and viii make

A motion to adopt the report was

Holding Up Of Recommended

Cheap Politics"

Members of the board of health do
not like the way councils finance com
mittee has handled their recommended
ton for a garbage dispose plant. They
said today that the action of the COM
mittee is a cheap piece of peanut poll
ties" and that they intend to stand on
their original recommendation. no mat
ter what the finance committee does.
The board of health recommended the
acceptance Of the 100000 bid Of the
Destructor Company of New York The
finance committee has held up the mat
ter for ten days in order to hear new
propositions from other companies
DUTY Of Council to Furnish Funds"
After expressing mis- disapproval Of
the action Of the finance committee. Dr.
". l.. Gilbert. president of the board Of
health. invited all the other members to
do likewise They Immediately respond
ed in caustic terms The unanimous
opinion of the board was that the duty
Of he finance committee was to pro-
vide the money and not decide what
sort Of disposal plant the city needs.
They said it was an insult to the in
telligence of the board of health to have
the recommendation on which they had
spent months of work thus ignored
This is the second breach between
council and one Of the administrative
boards within the last few days. The
other board to protest was the park
board regarding the councils interfer-
ence with Sunday swimming. But the
council and the finance committee hold
the reins of authority. though the rec
concentrations of the administrative
boards are usually accepted.

NEGRO COLLEGES" By PROF.
McCRORY.
President Of BIddle University.

freSioent OF 6iooIe university.
Rev. H. L. McCrory, of Biddle Uni
versity, addressed the delegates OF
the National Negro Educational Con-
gress on Friday night. He spoke on
Negro Colleges" Prof. McCrory
said: THAT Character and Efficiency
should be the motto Of the Negro
race" that the college student should
be as familiar with the writings of
Isiah as of Shakespeare. The man.
hood of every race should be the
highest result of any race. AS to
constructive education there could be
no race or nation building without
constructive thought, which We can
not have without we have been
trained in books" Prof. McCrory
thought that the Congress should
adopt resolutions to standardize col
leges. AS to professional require
ments, he advocated no limited form
of Education. Many of our promi-
nent Educators norraw down to the
education advocated in their respec'
tive schools. He does not advocate
the industrial training to the exclu'
sion of the intellectual, or vice versa,
but both are very necessary. Negro
Colleges should be standardized. Ma
ny are colleges in name only. Our
schools should not be called colleges
unless they measure up to the stand
ard set as to the curriculi and facul-
ties. Rev, McCrory filled the pulpit
of several Presbyterian churches dur
ing his visit. His dignified bearing
and sound judgement commanded the
respect and attention of all, and he
was in every way the leading edu-
cational character of the Congress,
and a credit to his Alma Mater, Bid
die University of which he is now
President.
