PUBLIC RECEPTION
WON'T Be HELD
FOR WILSON
FRIENDS IN THE SENATE SAY
TASK WOULD BE TOO HARD
ON NEW PRESIDENT.

Washington, Jan. 23-As the result
day announcement was made that
there probably would be no general
public reception to President Wilson
following his inauguration on March 4.
When the Washington inaugural
committee referred the subject to the
congressional inaugural committee and
that body refused to take cogniZance
of it, the senate members of the COM
mittee, led by Senator Overman of
North Carolina, interviewed practical
" all members of the senate. They
found a prcponderance of opinion in
opposition to any public demonstra-
ton on the evening of Inauguration
day.
1t was reasoned that congratulation
ceremonies involving a trip to the
capitol, participation in the inaugura
ton of the vice president and the pro-
ceedngs in the senate the delivery OF
the inaugural address and the pro-
longed review of the inaugural process
sion would be tireSome. 1t was felt
that it these were followed by a gen.

would be impracticable to limit the at

$4,000 to 100000 people would be il

Fears for People.
There also is apprehension as to The

getting together in such a throng. Th'

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS WORTH STOLEN
AND SOLD BELOW PAR.
MANY CITIES INVOLVED
Charges Say That Brokers Bought
Goods From Confidential Employees
at Far Below Face Value and Sold
Them at Good observation-disclosures
Returned in New York.

Washington. Jan. 23.-lllegal traf-
ticking In stolen postage stamps ag-
gregatng several millions OF dollars
annually has been disclosed by post
office inspectors, whose Investigations
were reported today to Postmaster
General Hitchcock. They involved So
called stamp brokers and confidential
employees of large business concerns
throughout the United tSatcs.
Through confessions obtained by the
inspectors from some of the brokers
whose operations were investigated, it
was learned that stamps of all classes
and denominations, stolen by burglars
from postufifccs and embc2Zlcd by
employees from great business houses
and manufacturing establishments,
were purchased and resold by the
brokers at prices far below their face
value.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-01-24
A Crime

The postal laws make IT crime,
punishable by imprisonment, to sell
any stamp issued by the government
for less than its face value. lnVcsu-
cations disclosed the fact that. in addi
tion to selling the stamps for less than
the price which they could hove been
purchased from the government, the
brokers knew that the stamps were
stolen when they purchased them IN
quiries showed that brokers, in some
instances, entered into a conspiracy
with employees of business houses to
buy at prices agreed upon all the
stamps the clerks could steal from
their employers.
The first of a series Of indictments
from the Investigations was handed
down sealed in New York city yestcr-
day.
The men indicted were Richard
Frcdericks, Irving "IzHy" Scvel and
John Frank. District Attorney Whit
man has informed the pOstoffice de
partment that other indictments will

Another demonstration OF the gen
uine hospitality and the big-hearted-
ness of DR.. and Mrs. George w. Hub
bard was seen on Thursday night
when at the Meharry Auditorium the
thirtieth annual banquet was ten
dered to the 1913 graduating class OF
the Meharry Medical, Dental and
Pharmaceutical Colleges. One hun

AS soon as the guests began to az

They are needed not only to care
for their own people in time of sick
ness, but also to advise them to
adopt proper sanitary regulations and
instruct them in matters pertaining
to personal hygiene, anG especially TO
render efficient aid in the prevention
and spread of contagious diseases. In
the fight which is now being made
against the Great White Plague-Tu-
berculosis-the intelligent Negro phy
stefan can render most valuable ser
vice. 1t is the testimony of the older
Southern physicians that pulmonary
consumption was almost an unknown
disease among the colored race be-
fore emancipation. 1t is now one Of
the most common and fatal diseases,
especially in the large cities and
towns of the South.

mankind. But recently we have had
the spectacle of a man willing to pay
a million if a son-in-lay could be cured
of tuberculosis.
'In our thought we have been deal
ing with the physician in general and
all that applies to any physician Of
our race. The Negro physician has
made the greatest advance Of any pro-
fessional nan in the race. He comes
into the community tested by rigid
examination. He has become a
property owner fast. His contract

and business way has given him OPP

count OF the hardness in the arrival
of the 1913 class picture, which is
usually exhibited at these annual &C.
casions. 1t was 9:15 o'clock when the
picture was borne into the auditorium
amid a roar of applause from the Wis
itors and friends Of the graduates.
They could scarcely wait until it was
placed on the platform that they surg
ed around it, pointing out their &C.
quaintances and friends in the class.
After a half hour had elapsed in view
ing the picture it was announced that
while the march was being played 1t
would be led by DR.. and Mrs. Hubbard,
who would be followed by the special
guests who would sit at their table,
the members of the faculty, the class
and the guests. In the banquet hall
which was brilliantly lighted and
beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion, the scene was inspiring.
Unassuming and conscious of the
fact that a new epoch was dawning in
Meharry, Dean Hubbard arose and
spoke modestly, saying that "if this
present class was no mistake and I'M
less they themselves were deceived,
it was the most brilliant, thorough
and competent, and certainly the
largest in the history OF the school,"
AT this announcement another husky
applause was given. After a few pre-
liminary remarks by Dean Hubbard,
he concluded by calling upon the
class speaker of the evening, Henry
A. Walker, A. B., of Tennessee, who
gave to the magnificent audience per-
maps the most beautifully painted and
well rendered banquet speech that has
been heard in this banquet hall. Fol-
lowing him Dean Hubbard called
upon the oldest mmeber of the facul-
ty in point of service now living, DR..
II. T. Noel, who spoke on behalf Of
the present class. For the Pharma-
ceutical Department DR.. VIM. SEWER
spoke, while DR.. j. Alonzo Napier re-
sponded on behalf of the Dental De-
partment. For the Nurse Training
Miss Minnie d. Woodland spoke. AS
a member of the Board of Examina-
ton Of Students, DR.. John Ira Wat
son spoke. Following these Miss
Mary Spence spoke on behalf of Fisk
University, while Mrs. Martha Wells
Brown represented the State Normal
and DR.. A. NJ, Townsend responded for
Roger Williams University. Mr.. A.
n. Johnson responded on behalf OF
the cit zens of Nashville.
At the close of these addresses,
Dean Hubbard, who assumed the du-
ties of master of ceremonies in addi-
ton to his being host OF the occasion,
pointed out some beautiful facts. He
referred to this being the thirty-sev-
enth anniversary of Meharry MedI-
cal College and that more than TWEEN
ty-fve hundred students had gone out
from the university, and that since
the opening of the hospital it had
cared for three hundred fifty patients
with a remarkable record of only nine
deaths. During the speech-making q

the price for that which really blesses

known as the National Negro Medical
Association.
TT is the most learned body of Ne
gro professional men that meets in an
organized way in America.
1T is told of a distinguished Bishop
that he took his son, to now an emil
nent man of letters, to Yale or Har-
ward and entered him when but a lad
for his course of training.
"After making all arrangements and
seeing to the boys comfort, when he
was about to bid him goodbye, the
father said: son remember whose

Later in life, when the father was
relieved of duty and placed upon the
retired and honored list of Bishops in
his church, and was returning home
to rest, the son, now a distinguished
man himself, wired his father these
words-'Come home, father, remem-
Der whose father you are"

elected at the General Conference in
Minneapolis. He has already demon
strated in the eight months he has
been in office that he is trained in
executive and administrative work
and as an organizer of forces he has
ciety is now facing the greatest OPP
p~ortunity in its history.
Likewise the Methodist Episcopal
Church is undergoing radical changes
in organization and education upon the
benevolent mission of the church in
world evangelization.
Two laymen of superior ability as
organizers are in the forefront of this
work. One is a white man, in the
person of DR.. S. Earl Taylor, one Of
the corresponding secretaries of the
Foreign Mission Eoard at New York,
and the other is a man of the Negro
race. DR.. l. Garland Penn, n of the
corresponding secretaries of the Freed
mems Aid Society. Each has been
detailed by his Board to work under
the Commission on Finance created at
the last General Conference, as the
clearing house of the benevolent
boards of Methodism in the presenta-
tion, organization, and education of
Methodists upon the joint benevolent
appeal of that great church.
Besides, DR.. Penn is the organizing
genius of the Freedmen's Aid Society
in the raising Of the 500, 900 in the
twenty colored conferences of the
church to secure the promised $4O0, 900
from all Methodism, covering the
$500, 900 Jubilee Fund, authorized by
the last General Conference for the
education Of the Negro. This fund
is being arised Independent of the
regular Freedmen's Aid collections
and is to commemorate the Semi-Cen-
tennial Jubilee of the freedom Of the
Negro.
The Freedmen's Aid Society is fac
ing the greatest prosperity in its his.
tory. DR.. Penn has a notable career
back of him. In twenty-eight years
of public service he has held but four
positions, having been so successful
in each as always to have resigned to
take the other that was a promotion.
For ten years he was a Principal in
city schools at Lynchburg, Va, re-
signing to go to the Cotton States
and International Exposition, at At
lanta, Ca, in 1895, as National Com
missioner. At the close of the Expo
sition he was awarded a gold medal
for excellence Of the exhibit. Shortly
afterward he was elected n of the
general secretaries of the Epworth
League and held office for sixteen
years until promoted to his present
position.
The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1913-04-25

He is an author, organizer, and plat
form man.
AS an organizer, DR.. Penn has to
his credit the National Medical Asso-
citation, along with other national as
semblies. Aside, therefore, from his
official position as corresponding sec
rotary Of the Freedmen's Aid Society,
it is particularly fitting as the organ
izer Of the medical men, to be inter-
ested in the Meharry commencement,
the semi-centennial year of the Free
dom of the race. DR.. Penn believes
every doctor should be a progressive.
In speaking to a Globe representative
he said.

population. With the exception Of
some of the higher institutions Of

cieties in the North, colored children

In the early years of this work
doubts were frequently expressed re-

practice Of this most responsible call

ty-two years show that these fears
were unfounded. Their success in
their professional work has been
greater than their most sanguine
friends had even hoped. They have
