PERILS OF SEGREGATION.
Pointed Out by Or. J. Z. spinsarn In
Fearless Address.

Fearless Address.
Louisville. afternoon, July
B, In Quinn chapel. over 1900 colored
people attended a mass meeting ar
ranged by the Louisville branch Of the
National Association For the Advance
ment of Colored People to protest
against the segregation ordinance re-
Gently passed in this city. DR.. J. Il.
Spingarn, chairman of the board Of d.
rectors of the national association.
spoke as follows:
I'VE believe that the segregation of
property according to race distinctions
offends both against political morals
and against economic expediency. 1t
offends against economic expediency
because the artificial restrictions 1t sets
up will entail ultimate economic bur-
dens out of all proportion to the ap-
parent, and only apparent, depreciation
that Is at this moment the ground for
legal segregation.
1T offends against political morality
because 1t places struggling race,
emerging from slavery and economic
dependence, in a permanent position of
disadvantage In respect to other races
which already hold the most advanta-
geous positions. 1t is mere sophistry to
say that there Is no real discrimination
because white men may not move into
black neighborhoods just as black men
may not move into white neighbOr-
hoods.
Imagine the justice of a law which
denied the right Of poor men to borrow
from rich men. and then, to make the
matter wholly equitable, denied the
right of rich men to borrow from poor
ones! We white men hold all the
coigns Of vantage, and this legislation
Is merely an effort to prevent others
from ever disputing our rights to hold
them. The result Of such an arrange
ment can be only one-to develop
permanently inferior civilization In our
midst, which must serve forever az q
corrupting force in the movement of
the larger civilization Of which 1t must
continue to remain a part.
Lock up a humble and sadvantag-
ed minority In a ghetto and destroy its
power to see that conditions in that
ghetto are made tolerable, and crime
and vice and disease are the least Of
the results"

POLITICAL LEAGUE SEPT. 7.
National Organization of Race Leaders
Will Meet In New York.

league, Rev. Byron Gunner Of Hill

ty because Of race and color. The
fine new Bethel church will be the
meeting place and the second week in
September the time, probably the 7th
and Sth, just prior to the national Bap-
list convention in Philadelphia, as
many Of the clergy are expected to at
tend.
The appeal is to every citizen Of col
or, to churches and literary, civic or
equal rights societies. Its sentiment is
thus expressed:
"Out of the worlds history Of the
struggle Of races, nationalities and
classes of mankind for freedom and
equality have come the classic cpl
grams, Who would be free themselves
first must strike the blow and Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty Who
In all the world need heed these slo-
gans more than coiored Americans,
with disfranchisement, Jim Crowism
and lynching in the south and denial
Of civil rights to a greater or less de-
gree even In the north on the increase?
"Surely organization Of colored Amer
leans for self defense and protection Of
their lives, liberties and rights is need
ed, and for this the National Independ-
ent Political league, formed in 1908,
stands. Come one, come all, to the ma
tional conference at Bethel church,
New York city, Sept. and 8, and let
churches, literary. civic and equal
rights societies send delegates. For par

He lived very frugally in the French
capital, studying at the Academic Ju-

until sketch, very much to his own
surprise, won him prize in an annual
competition. For many years he was
confronted by the most disheartening
obstacles. He lived on even less than

AT THE DENHAM.

Commencing with the matinee Sunday,
March 18th, Messrs. Woodward Homan
will present the extraordinary attraction
Madame y, with Miss Lang and the
Denham Players.
Madame y is sensational drama of
a mothers love in a prologue and three
acts from the French, by Alexandra BIZ
son, andadapted by John Raphael. This
will be the first time that this play
has been produced at popular prices in
Denver. 1t is a play of heart interest
and should please the patrons of the
Dcnham Theater.
Madame \ gives Miss Lang splendid
opportunity as it is the first real emo
tional role she has had since coming to
Denver, which should be very gratifying
to her many friends who have asked so
often for such play
Jacqueline. who later becomes known
as Madame Y. leaves home for a while,
but returns only to find her husband
has accused her of wrong that she has
not committed. and turns her from his
home. She wanders about for some
time until she takes up with man
named -Laroque.

dent of the Toulouse Court. Jacqueline
overhears Laroque and two blackmailers
plotting to extract large amount from
Floriot, and in a quarrel which follows,
as she still loves her husband, she kills
Laroque.
Madame y, as Jaequeline, is now
known, is brought into court, but she
will not engage an attorney to defend
her, so one is appointed by the court,
and it is her own son, but neither know
this until after most dramatic scene in
the great trial scene.
The play will run for the entire week,

was grossly excessive, and oppressive,

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Washington, April 21.-President
Wilson laid the Mexican situation be-
fore Congress Monday in these
words:
Gentlemen of the Congress: "It
Is my duty to call your attention to a
situation which has arisen in our
dealings with Gen. Victoriano Huerta
at Mexico City, which calls for action,
and to ask your advice and co-opera-
ton in acting on it.
"On the 9th of April a paymaster
of the U. S. s. Dolphin landed at the
1turbide bridge landing at Tampico,
with whaleboat and boats crew to
take off certain supplies needed by
his ship, and while engaged in load
ing the boat, was arrested by an Of
ficer and squad OF men of the army
of General Huerta. Neither the pay
master nor any one of the boats crew
was armed. Two of the men were
In the boat when the arrest took
place, and were Obliged to leave it
and submit to being taken into Gus
tody, Notwithstanding the fact that
the boat carried, both at her bow and
Gilpin observer., 1914-04-23

at her stern, the flag Of the United
States. The officer who made the ar
rest was proceeding upon one of the
streets of the town with his prisoners
when met by an officer of higher au-
thority, who ordered him to return to
the landing and agait orders, and with
in an hour and half from the time
of the arrest, orders were received
from Huertista forces at Tampico for
the release of the paymaster and his
men.
"The release was followed by apol-
ogies from the commander and later
by an expression of regret by General
Huerta himself. General Huerta
urged that martial law obtained at
the time at Tampico, that orders had
been Issued that no one should be
allowed to land at the Iturbide
bridge, and that our sailors had no
right to land there. Our naval COM
manders at the port had not been no
titled of any such prohibition. and,
even If they had been, the only JUS
tifiable course open to the local au-
thorities would have been to request
the paymaster and his crew to with
draw and to lodge protest with the
commanding officer of the fleet. Ad-
miral Mayo regarded the arrest as so
serious an affront that he was not
satisfied with the apologies offered,
but demanded that the flag Of the
United States be saluted with special
ceremony by the military commander
OF the port.
1.-The incident cannot be regarded
as a trivial one, especially as two Of
the men arrested were taken from
the boat itself-that is to say. from
the territory Of the United States; but
had It stood by itself. 1t might have
been attributed to the ignorance or
arrogance of a single officer.
UNFORTUNATELY 1t was not an isolat-
ed case. A series OF Incidents has re-

Mexicans Evacuate Position.
Toward the middle of the afternoon
a large body of Mexicans evacuated
their position and are now somewhere
in the sandhills back in the interior,
where 1t is reported from Mexican
sources they are expecting to be
joined by re-enforcements from the
capital.
This withdrawal, however, was not
entirely premeditated. Those watch
ing on the ships observed through
their glasses a large force of Mexi-
cans moving over the hills in the west
ern outskirts of the city, apparently
with the intention of thanking bat
talon of marines in the railway yards
and along Montesinos street. which
runs east and west not far from the
American consulate.
Instantly the five-inch guns of the
Prairie let go, breaking the Mexican
formation and causing hasty retreat.
This ended the flanking movement.
The liveliest separate action of the
day was that at the custom house and
the water front adjacent. Mexicans
had been sending across from the
buildings nearby an ugly and scatter.

into the positions, and shells from the
three-inch guns finished the work live.
