into which the back is slightly gath

over an underbodiCe of ivory ninlon
yelled with shadow lace which falls
in a cascade over the Corsage, ana
is just held in at the N-shaped open
ing by quaint ball trimming Of
green and blue. A smart little coat
en- suite, with the skirt. is finished
with a collar and pointed, hanging
cuffs Of white corded silk.
The second gown is a raisin col

to the waistline. The bodice Of cream
lace is yelled with ninion of the
same tone as the skirt. just touched
at the deCcnetage with delicate en-
broidery of pink, blue and green. \

When arrested Mrs. Funke was

with the double slit one.

sues Appeal For Funds.
The fresh air committee of New
York city, headed 10y William N. Hub
bell. has sent ont an appeal to the
public for funds With which to carry
on the work this ,,ummer. This COM
mittee is the only agency which makes
a specially of visiting, planning and
taking groups Of colored persons of all
ages and sex on outings in the country
during the summer months.
The committee cO-operates with 9TH
er organizations having similar aim.
In 1912 one of the visitors made $50
personal calls in two months. The
board of mothers and babies Is paid
by the organization to the extent of
Its means. Nearly 200 persons were
given outings in 1912 for periods of
from one to two weeks. The board
for all except thirteen of the total
number cared for was paid by the
committee.
The headquarters Of the fresh afr
committee Is at 131 East Sixty-sixth
street, New York. Miss FL. T. Emer-
son is the secretary and treasurer.
The greatest need at the present time
aside from money is a suitable place
for girls and misses over eleven years
of age and for home for GONZALES
cents, to be kept open all the year.
One establishment, properly arranged,
would answer for both purposes.

HoWARD's JIMcR0W BILL
CAUSES BIG C0MM0Tl0N.
Attorney Hsmans satirieai Letter
Misundsrsteed by q Newspaper.
., JAMES c. WATERS. Jr.

The utter helplessness of the colored
people In the United States without a
strong. fearless daily newspaper to
present their side OF a case (as they are
denied hearing In the newspapers of
the country published by the white
race) was never better Illustrated than
In an incident which took place in
Washington recently.
A short time ago a white man, sent
there as n representative Of one Of the
crime ridden sections of the state OF
Georgia. introduced in congress the
latest edition OF the numerous Jim
crow bills which have been dropped
into the hamper by various individuals
from the southern part Of the country.
Shortly afterward Charles H. He
mans, Esq. a young colored attorney
Of Washington. wrote Congressman
william s. Howard. the man in Ques-
ton. and in a peculiarly .ironical man
ner called on the congressman to am
plify his bill SO as to effect com
plete separation OF the races, even to
the elimination of that kind of associa-
ton between white men and colored
women which existed during slavery
and which for years since has been a
stencil in the nostrils of the Negroes Of
the nation, but which is never referred
to above a whisper ~ the pharisaical
whites.
To the amazement of Mr.. Hemans
and several friends to whom he had
read his letter before mailing 1t to
Congressman Howard, the Washing
ton Times appeared carrying an article
with a double line heading. Howard
Commended For Segregation" The
Washington Times item is as follows:
Among the letters received by Con
gressman Howard of Georgia, who re
Gently introduced bin to segregate
white and colored passengers on Wash
inSton street cars, is one asserting that
the Howard bill is all right except that
1t does not 60 far enough
Charles Fl. Hemans, an attorney, has
written to Congressman Howard sug-
Eesting the widening OF the scope of
the bill. Mr.. Hemans' letter to the
Georgia congressman says n law
should be enacted making 1t unlawful
for eolored persons to be served in
white drug stores and in other stores
and that the two races should be kept
apart in every way"
Friends Of Mr.. Hemans were much
exercised upon reading the foregoing
Washington Times article to think that
he would play into the hands Of this
southern race hater in any such man
ner. Accordingly he was sought out
In his office In the Lewis building and
asked to make statement Mr.. He
mans was indignant at the way the
congressman hnd treated his commu-
nication and declared that he was de-
lighted to be nble to put before his
friends and the public at large an ex-
act copy of the very letter which be
scnt to representative Howard.

Ssnate investigation Of Trouble se-

Washington.-The investigation made
BY committee from the United States
senate into the troubles between the
miners and operators in West Virginia
and the application Of martial law to
the situation there brings to mind that
1t was member of our own race-the
Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder
OF deeds hereto whom is due the credit
for having the United States govern
ment take a firm stand against all
forms Of peonage.
While practicing law in Atlanta Mr..
johnson noticed that sheriffs from the
counties of Georgia were continually
coming into the city to arrest colored
men. These men. for the most part,
were arrested for alleged violation of
contracts, and they were sold to some
planter or other white man needing
their labor and compelled to work out
the money alleged due under the sup
posed contract
Colonel Johnson interested himself
In these cases and found out that the
men and women arrested were sold
into state of virtual slavery. He sue
ceeded at length in having some of the

ed threats on every hand and offers Of

kept bravely on. The indicted men

He then found that there were SINH
lar violations in Florida and succeeded
in interesting United States officials In
that state. He also conferred with the
department Of justice in this city on
the matter. An indictment was found.
and in what is known as the Clyatt
case the United States supreme court
upheld the validity of the peonage law.
The convictions of Aaron Bradshaw
of Alabama and many Others have
since happened The initial fight
against -peonage resulted In the Ed
munds law against peonage being sus-
tanned. When the United States Sc
cured New Mexico from Spain In 1854
a man in New Mexico could be impris-
oned for owing an individual or the
government money. The Edmunds
law was drafted to meet this condi-
ton. Little WAS it thought then that
its provisions would be first invoked
to save colored men and women from
a condition Of involuntary slavery and
then answer the same service for
whites.
Colonel Johnson was born in Angus
tn, Ga. In 1872. He was educated ut
the old Ware high school, Augusta;
Atlanta university, where he received
the degree Of bachelor of arts in 1891.
and the law department Of the Uni
versity Of Michigan. where he won
second honors in the big graduating
class in 1893. He first practiced law
in a small town in his native state.
