C0L0RED MEN ASK EQUAL .
OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED
Rev. Orlando Banks at Emancipation Service Does Not Seek
Social Equality llif Praises Work of Germans
Who Helped in Fight Against Slavery.

1--WE do not want social equality
We do not want to mix with the white
tace. We want equal opportunities
hnd we want to be regarded as equal
humans when we show ourselves to be
such
This was the declaration of Rev.
Dr~do Banks of Indianapolis, who.
With Edgar Tiff. spoke before a good
sized audience Of colored and promi-
hent white persons last night. The
Emancipation exercises were held in
.he court room at the county court
house.
The Rev. Mr.. Banks eulogized
Abraham Lincoln and spoke at length
bn the good deeds he performed while
be was president.
"My own father had been sold as

small boy. 1t is that way with many

HARVEST OF CORN
DECREASES PRICES
Reduction of Five Cents Is
Noted as New Crop Comes
In.

Farmers in many parts of Wayne
county are beginning to make prepa-
rations for corn harvest. Many have
already begun to cut up the fodder,
where the corn is to be shocked. 9th
ers are topping the corn and storing
the tops thus harvested for winter
feed, while the ears are allowed to re-
main on the standing stub until fully
matured.
Many fields are ripening unevenly
this season due to the spring drouth,
which caused the seed to germinate
unevenly, and some of the plants
started growth much earlier than 9TH
ers. The quality of the grain is good
this fall, in most cases. The early fall
rains gave the crop full opportunity to
fill well, and the ears are of good size
and shape.
The pressure of the new corn has
shown it's effect on the local grain
market this week, resulting in a drop
of five cents per bushel in the price.

.|L|FF RESIGNS
FROM ACTIVITY
IN v. R. |. A.
Chairman of Committee on
Dump Surprises Executive
Board With Resignation
From Association.

The resignation of Edgar Tiff was
presented to the executive board of
the West Side Improvement associa-
tion last night by N. G. Heironimus,
president.
He had been the most active advo-
cate for the transformation of the
Randolph street dump into a park site,
and because of his interest in this
project had been appointed chairman
of the associations committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds at the an
nual election of officers last week.
Mr.. Tiff, in giving his reasons for
resigning from the club, said the work
he would be expected to do would take
too much time away from his busi-
ness, and that he was also contemplat-
ing an extended trip with his family.
Association members who attended
the meeting last night were much sur
prised over Mr.. Iliff resiging from the
association instead of resigning his

and grounds committee.
Report Disappointment.
A report was circulated in West
Richmond today that Mr.. lifts action
might have been prompted because of
his disappointment in not being elect
week, because he was known to have
office.
J. w. Rethmeyer was appointed to
succeed Mr.. Tiff as chairman of the
associations most important commit
tess, which will have charge of push
ing the park project.
Active workers in the association, it
was learend today, have Informally de-
cided to recommend the abandonment
of the campaign to have the dump and
contingent property transformed into
a city park and to advise a compre-
hensive campaign to influence the
school board to take over the property
for playground purposes. AS the school
city's tax levy for next year has al
ready been made many of the associa-
ton leaders favor a plan calling for
the keeping alive of the project until
next fall and then bring every influ-
ence possible to bear on the school
board to provide special levy for
1916 to purchase the land for play
grounds.
Ask for Fairgrounds.
With Fairgrounds instead of a
city park on the Randolph street site
these men believe the needs of the
community would be much better
served and the property kept in much
better condition.
The following committee for the en-
suing year were named last night, the
first mentioned being the chairman:

VOCATIONAL WORK
FOR NIGHT SCHOOL
Giles and Pickell Propose to
Offer Courses Filling
Community Need.

The night school will not be opened
until after the visit of Professor Book
of the state department of vocational
training. Professor Book is expected
to come to Richmond the last of this
week for conference with members
of the school board.
The vocational classes in the night
school are state aided, the state fur
nishing part of the funds necessary to
pay the teaching corps. BY virtue of
this authority the state department
outlines the work to be carried out in
the vocational classes. Superintend-
ent Giles and Principal Pickell feel
that the work can be made more eff
cient if it is made to conform to the
requirements of the community and
the pupils taking up the work. For
this reason they desire to make some
changes. They will wait until the
coming Of Professor Book that they
may definitely learn how far they
will be allowed to vary the night
school courses from those set forth
in the state requirements.

From the fact that they fought only

That the majority of the Mexican
people believe in Carranza is the fur

"Carranza began his revolution
