Duty of the Churches.

Another purpose of the convention
was to face the responsibility resting
upon the negro churches of America to
help meet the claims and crises Of Africa.
Such men as Bishop Hartzell, who
has for eighteen years directed on the
ground advances in missionary move
ments IN many parts of Africa; Rev w.
II. Sheppard. the negro missionary. who
spent fifteen years in work in the Kongo
which attracted the attention and COM
mendation of the Christian world DR..
Franklin, missionary secretary of the
southern Baptists. who has studied the
mission work extensively in Africa,
voiced the needs of that great continent.
Another purpose of the convention to
which much attention was given was to
consider what light Christian thought
may throw on present and future CO.

DR. W. D. Weatherford of Nashville, DR..
j. d. Hammond of Augusta. Ca; 8. c.
Mitchell of Richmond, Va. and DR.. Nc
CulIoch of Nashville and such women as
Mrs. Archibald Trawick and Mrs. J. D.
Hammond showed that the highest type
of southern white men and women are
entering into constantly larger and-full-
er cooperation with the negro to help
him.
The elimination in this line was
reached When Dr. McCuliOcn WAS TeaulnS
his paper on this subject to the section
of the ministers and educators. He told
of teacher of negroes who was crit-
cised for his work and who said:
IL would give up my life rather than
abandon my work.
DIR. McCuloch said:
~ am going to call upon you to Go a
harder thing than give up your life. l
am going to call upon you to give up
your prejudices
DIR. Thomas Jesse Jones, who was at
the head of the census bureau for negroes
and who is doing a very important work
in investigating negro schools in con-
nection with the United States bureau Of
education, represented the long line Of
northern white men and women engaged
in negro education. He showed in an
effective way and with a strictly scien-
tihc spirit that all the groups of south
ern white people, the negroes and the
northern whites should cooperate in lead
ing both white and colored people to the
largest life.

During Long Experience

A consignment OF 1880 lingering

THREATENED WAR
IN BASEBALL
AT AN END
Maqnates Concede Demand OF
Players Fraternity
KRAFT CASE is ADJUSTED
Newark Club Pays Nashville $500
and Conditions Of Players Con-
tract Are Carried Out

New York, July 22.-The baseball
players fraternity won victory yes
terday and threatened strike OF Ma
tional and American league players,
members of the fraternity, was avert
ed when the case OF Player Clarence
o. Kraft was settled to the satisfac-
ton of the players organization and
in accordance with its demands. The
incident is considered closed by both
the big league magnates and the play
ers
1t was Charles II. Ebbets. presi-
dent of the Brooklyn National league
club, who stepped int the breach
and brought about peace when 1t APP
peared that organized baseball was
about TO be disrupted by struggle
between club owners and players.
Ebbets, who is also stakeholder
in the Newark International league
club, announced that the Newark
club officials had paid the Nashville
club of the Southern association
$500 in settlement Of Nashvilles
claims on Kraft, and that Kraft
would play with Newark at Prov
idence in todays game. In addition,
the Newark club agreed to observe
all the stipulations of Krafts con-
tract, as originally in force before he
was ordered to go to Nashville by the
national commission, besides paying
him five-weeks' back salary for the
period he has been under suspension
for not reporting to the Nashville
club.
Krafts contract with Newark calls
for salary of $3.50 per month, and
both the 10-days' notice Of release
clause and the disability clause were
stricken out before the document was
signed The Nashville club received
$500 for its release of claims on
Kraft and $1,000 in addition as a
bonus for accepting the Newark
clubs terms. Under the Newark
contract Kraft received $3.50 more
per month than he would as Nash
Vile player, which was the crucial
point in the controversy, the fraterni-
ty contending that the player could
not be shunted from class AA
league to a class A organization with
subsequent reduction in salary In
the manner prescribed by the ma
tional commission.
