Thomas Bellinger pastor.
The two bodies represented Sunday
schools and B. Y. P. unions in 1000 negro
Baptist churches in Alabama with an ag-
eregate membership of 100000.
Prof. B. II. Barnes of Tuscaloosa, presi-
dent of the State B. Y. p o., occupied
the chair during the sessions Tuesday and
Wednesday and Prof. A. S. Plump, Eu-
taw, Ala, president of the Sunday school
convention, held the gavel from Thursday
to Sunday, when the convention adjourned
to meet in Birmingham next year
The joint meeting was the twenty
second annual session of the State sun
day school convention and the fifteenth

Peoples union-the object of the two
organizations being to collect statistics

yersity received $42S, of which amount
the B. Y. p. u. gave $75 and 1921 disbursed
for Sunday school missionary work.
The financial rallies for Selma univer-
sity were skllfully planned and man
aged by Prof. r. B. Hudson of Selma,
secretary of the Alabama state conven-
ton and the National Negro Baptist con-
vention. 1t was considered one of the
most successful in the history of the con-
yention.
In addition to the routine work of the
conventions Thursday afternoon was de-
voted to the celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the freedom of the Ameri-
can negro. The elaborate programme was
in charge of DR. r. T. Pollard. former
president of Selma university. 1t con-
sisted of plantation songs stories of
slavery days told by ex-slaves, the re-
ligious condition of negroes during slav-
cry, the negros opportunity to hear
preaching before the civil war, the era
of awakening" home life, church life, and
schools and colleges and the material
advancement of the negro during so years
of freedom.
w. II. Carter of Tuskegee institute read
an address showing among other things
that the first negro church organized in
this country was a Baptist church organ
lied by white Baptists at Williamsburg,
Virginia 10 years after the signing of the
Declaration of Independence and 80 years
before the close of the civil war. The
First African Baptist church, Savannah,
Ga, was organized in 17SS. Referring to
the growth of negro Baptists in the
United States Carter said there were 1S,-
642 churches with 2,294,246 members and
17,317 ministers. There are 1905 Sun
day schools with 1887, 1872 scholars in
charge of 10l, 1853 officers and teachers.
The negro missionary Baptist churches
have acquired in so years property valued
at $25, 99S59S.
2170 churches, 1900 ministers with church
membership of 274,926, with church prop
erty valued at $1,942,926. He called atten-
ton to the fact that while there are
275,000 negro Baptists in Alabama, there
are only 156,547 children in the Sunday
schools There should be more children
/ nthe Sunday schools than members in
the churches.
To this great disparity the annual adj
dresses of President Barnes and President
Plump were specially directed.
Bible institutes were held mornings by
DIR. c. o. Boothe recently appointed to
that work by the home mission board
of the southern Baptist convention DR..
b. d. Gray of Atlanta, corresponding sec
retary: Helen A. McAlpine of Spelman
seminary, Atlanta, conducted model Sun

CABINET ATTACKS
PORT IMPROVEMENT
COMPANY OF CUBA
Decree Signed to Suspend
Payment of Tonnage Dues.
Action Causes Consider
able Excitement

Havana, August 4.--Followlng a
cabinet meeting this afternoon. Pres
ident Menocal signed a decree which
will have an important effect on the
Ports Improvement company of Cuba
which has long been the subject Of
bitter attack in the press. The com
pany is composed of American capl
talists and holds concessions for the
dredging of harbors and carrying out
other improvements in various ports
in return for which it is permitted to
collect a surtax on the merchandise
of incoming vessels.
The decree declares that the com
pany has not fulfilled all the provisions
of the law under which it is permitted
to do business and that therefore the
Secretary of the Treasury will imme
diately suspend payment of tonnage
dues, on which the company largely
depends to defray its cost of opera
tions. 1t also says that the Secre-
tary of Public Works will Immediately
take charge of the companys works
in all Cuban ports and that the secre
tary of justice will begin proceedings,
based on the contention that the cont
pany has failed to comply with the
terms of the concession granted il.
to annul the concession and recover the
amounts of money alleged to have been
paid in excess of the work alleged ae
tually to have been performed. re-
serving the right to prosecute and
punish any person guilty of offenses
in connection with the concession
granted the company under the law of
February 20, 1911. which was approved
by President Gomez
Mature DeliberatiOn
The decree of President Menocal de-
clares that the governments action to-
day was taken after mature de1ibe-
ration and with the intent to safeguard
all legalized interests. Further action
against the company awaits the conyo-
cation of the supreme court in Novem-
ber The action of the President is
the cause of much excitement here.
Friends of the administration warmly
approve of the decree while its oppo-
nents declare that it was issued with
the purpose of strengthening the ad-
ministration by greatly increasing Its
patronage under the public works de-
partment.
Officials of the Ports company de-
clare that they have faithfully car
ried out all their obligations and deny
the Presidents right to annul an act
of the Cuban congress without sub
mitting the case to the courts. They
add that the Presidents decree is an
act of bad faith with Interior politi-
cal designs, and that the company in
tends Immediately to take action
against the government for DANA ges
and the restoration of all its rights un-
der the concession.
