congressman to Meet Tonight.

Southern senators and representatives
plan to confer tonight to devise. if pos
sible. some plan which would prevent
loss to producers of cotton as a result
of the European crisis. Senator Hoke
Smith has issued call for the meeting.
1t is hoped that some method may be
worked out to prevent rushing cotton
to market when the price, is certain to
be depressed.
One suggestion held out is that the
federal government, or the states, could
advance sufficient funds to the producers
to provide for storing of the crop.
Cotton crop possibilities. according to
government estimates. will approach
13,S00,0 600 bales.

But heres tiny story about horse
which may come in handy, especially as
his name. too, was Dixie A tourist wom-
an saw him in Kaiser Wiihelm's stable
with so many other horses that the en-
peror. if he wanted to. could ride a DIFF
ferent mount every day in the year.
These horses had been selected from all
beautiful brown in color. with spirited
Dixie Differed From Other Horses.
When the tourist woman saw them she
noticed that the 1854 horses were in their
stalls facing the east But just one
horse was turned the other way, with his
feed box fixed so that he could eat while
he faced the west. One Of the hostlers
in charge told the tourist woman that
when they tried to make the Dixie horse
face the east he snorted and kicked and
carried on SO dreadfully that he never
had quiet minute until he had ierked
himself around with his face to the
west. Then he became quiet and be-
haved as gentlemanly as any horse in
the royal stalls.
Now, the emperor loves his horses.
and when he had studied Dixie's case
he told the hostlers to humor him by let
ting him stand as he plainly wished, be-
cause-this is what the hostler told the
tourist woman-.Dixie is a good Ameri-
can, who loves his country and wants
to face his old home All of which
shows that the emperor is a wise man
and that horses know heap more than
some of us are willing to admit.
There are many letters on Peters desk,
but they cannot be opened until he re-

coats for unemployed men. Of course,
l knew you would respond because
you always have whenever your at
tention has been drawn to any case
O of need.
But some of the stories told me by
the unemployed men when l visited
them Friday to give them some offers
of overcoats that had come over the
telephone made me feel all choked.
They told me of one man who en-
tered the hall at Sangamon and Mon
roe streets an hour or so after The
Day Book containing the appeal was
On the street.
81 want to give this coat to one of
you fellows" he said, taking OFF his
own, coat. 81 just read the story in
The Day Book"
'But"-the man to whom he was
talking protested = you need that
yourself" ...
ooh, I've got another one at home"
he answered.

get home. It's going to be cold for
you to go out without it."
81 have only little way to go, he
insisted. -..-...--sr W.
And it took lot of persuasion to
get him to wear that coat until he
got home and let one of the men call
for it then.
Another man said they had gath
cred up all the coats in the neighbor-
hood and when some of the men
called they found ten overcoats and
some other clothing awaiting for
them.
Bundles have been left at the hall
containing shoes and undercoats and
other things, and they have all been
put to splendid use. :.
am certainly proud of you!

He gained his first experience as a
lawyer in Richmond, Va. his native

RALPH W. TYLER'S AMBITION.
Census Bureau Will TabuIats Holdings
Of Northern Afro o-Amerieans.

Washington. In the fall of 1913
Ralph w. Tyler took up with the di-
rector OF the United States census and
urged the matter of giving the home
ownership by Negroes In the northern
states as is done in the southern states.
At that time the director replied he
could not do It, Mr.. Tyler's contention
at that time attracted considerable no
tice from white dailies because of his
insistence that without this data the
wonderful progress OF the race in the
north could not be shown.
Recently Mr.. Tyler received the fol-
lowing letter from the director of cen
sus, which indicates that home owner
ship by Negroes in the northern states
is soon to be collated and made pub
lie:
Mr. Ralph W. Tyler. National Negro
Business League. Washington:
Dear Sir-You will perhaps remember
that we had some correspondence last fall
with reference to the ownership Of homes
in the United States by Negroes At that
time / informed you that the plans OF my
predecessor had been carried out to such
an extent prior to my connection with
the bureau that 1t was impossible for me
to make any change In the presentation of
hRureS on tne OWnerbnlp oI HOihes p5
Negroes. which included the southern
states only.
j am incIosing n "Circular OF Informa-
ti6n Concerning Tentative Program Of the
Bureau of Census" on page Of which
is described the special report on Negro
Population" which l expect to Issue
soon as 1 can get to It. This report will
be similar to the Twelfth Census Bulle-
tin on Negroes In the United States" l
have decided to have Information relating
to the ownership of homes tabulated by
color in the remaining sections Of the
country. and this special report will show
the ownership Of homes by Negroes In
all states.
Your interest In the work of the census
bureau IL greatly appreciated Very truly
yours, WILLIAM J. HARRIS.
Director.
