Members Quit Prison Board.

Denver.-Joseph Maupin of Canon
City and Jesse Harris of Greeley have
resigned as members of the State
Board Of Prisons Trustees, which has
charge of the state penitentiary and
the state reformatory. A third mem
ber, Mrs. Helen M. Grenfell, has re
moved from the state, and the board
now has no members. The resigna-
tions of Maupin and Harris were pre-
sented to Governor Ammons 1t is be-
lieved that the members were prompt
ed to resign by conditions arising with
in the board after refusal of the state
auditor to issue warrants on vouchers
for the board, following a recent ex-
animation of refo:matory accounts by
state examiners. NJ. P. Capp, who was
recently appointed to be warden of the
reformatory, after receiving first in
the civil service examination for the
place, demanded that an examination
of the accounts be made before he
took charge.

AFRo-AMER|CAN CU[L|NCS

Many of the whites in the Chesa-
peake basin believe that their colored
fellow-citizens are not improving ma
terially, morally and intellectually.
but he that has known the region for
30 years or so, and who returns to it
with fresh eye, cannot fail to note
the Improvement that has taken place
in that time. The statistics of farm
ing alone in the period between 1900
and 1910 are convincing as to the re-
cent economic improvement of the col
ored man. In Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia, as in many other states, the
actual acreage in farms decreased in
the decade 1900-1910, but in each of
those states the number of colored
farmers owning their land decidedly
increased. In Delaware the increase
was from 332 in 1900 to 406 in 1910;
in Maryland, from 3,262 to 1850; in
Virginia, from 26,56 to 32,22S.
In each of these states colored ten
ant farmers are being converted into
land owners, for in each the number
of tenants is decreasing, while the
whole number of negro farmers is in
creasing. The value of farm lands
and buildings owned by colored per-
sons was more than $32, 100000, and
colored tenants and managers were
intrusted with the administration of
farm lands and buildings to the value
of nearly S25,OOO,OO0 Thus the col
ored farmers of the Chesapeake basin
are now in the ownership or occupy
ing of farm lands and buildings to the
value of more than $55,000,000. A
generation ago, when the colored peo-
pie were still almost within the
shadow of slavery, prosperous negro
farmer was a rare sight in the Chesa-
peake basin. In that region the sys-
TEN common in the cotton states of
turning over from 20 to 100 acres of
land to be cultivated to cotton by a
single slave family was little prac-
ticed, so that the colored people were
not ready to be turned into tenant
farmers, and then into land owners.
A few free colored persons had owned
land in Delaware, Maryland and Vir-
ginia while yet slavery flourished-

ator Thomas Pryor Gore was exonerat-

a verdict in his favor returned in Dis
trict Court in the suit for $4,000
damages instituted by Mrs. Minnie E..
Bond Of Oklahoma City.
The verdict was returned four min
utes after the case was given to the
jury. Only one ballot was taken.

verdict, the evidence submitted by
the plaintiff entirely insufficient upon
which to base suit; that said evil

and mad the defendant, at the con-
clusion of the PLAINTIFFS evidence an
nounced that he desired to introduce
no evidence and rested the case, our
verdict would have been the same in
that event as now returned by us, in
favor Of the defendant"
Despite the efforts of bailiffs to
maintain order when the verdict was
read, the crowd that filled the court
room turned into cheering throng.
Senator Gore heard the jurys de-
cision without change of countenance.
Mrs. Gore was the first to grasp his
hand. Then she kissed him. When
she turned and shook hands with Hen
ry Carpenter, the foreman, tears were
on the cheeks of both herself and the
aged farmer.
"The verdict confirms my faith that
truth Will triumph" Senator Gore
said. Il never for moment doubted
the outcome"
Mrs. Bond and her husband left the
courtroom while the demonstration
was at its height.
Mrs. Gore declared She was "too
happy for words"

said
President Wilson was one of the
first to send congratulations to Sena
