PLAN MEMORIAL TO BOOKER
WASHINGTON.

The memory of Booker T. Washing
ton, will be perpetuated in Chicago by
a practical memorial building to be
named in his honor March 1, when the
building of the Kehilath Anshe May
riv Reformed Jewish congregation,
East Thirty-third street and Indiana
avenue, is purchased at a cost of
$500
The building will be renamed the
Booker T. Washington memorial and
when refitted will be used as social
center and industrial training school
for Negro children of Chicago. 1t will
care for 1000 to 1900 children and
will solve for hundreds of the parents
the problem of how to keep their
children off the streets and out of bad
company while they are at work.
A popular subscription to raise the
sum necessary to purchase the build
ing and grounds has been started by
Negro and white friends of the late
DR.. Washington and a committee or
directors of the subscription fund has
been appointed.
The Chicago Title and Trust Com
pany has been named as treasurer and
depository for all subscription funds.
The directors of the subscription
fund are: John D. Shoop, John J.
Arnold, Jesse Binga, Judge Edward
o. Brown, Henry Stuckart, David o.
Dunbar, Edward P. Smith, and DR..
Max Householder.

VICE RAMPANT IN BALTIMORE,
REPORT SHOWS.
Big Traffic in Babies; No Check on I'm
morality Since Resorts Were Closed.

morality Since Resorts Were Closed.
Baltimore, Md.-Special-In an ex-
haustive, detailed report the statewide
vice commission named by Gov Gold
borough in January, 1913, has just
made public the results of its inquiry.
Probably the most sensational of
the features dealt with in the report
is the alleged traffic in babies. 1t is
asserted that investigators found
there are institutions in Baltimore
to which the mother of an illegitimate
child may consign her offspring upon
the payment of an agreed sum and for
ever rid herself of legal responsibility
for it
Majority Of Babies Die.
Of the hundreds of children so
taken in charge by the institution, the
committee AYERS that 80 to 80 per cent
die and are buried in heaps in small
plots of ground, one such plot, ap-
proximately fifty-five feet square, hav-
ing been the tomb of 5000 babies since
1886.
The high death rate is attributed to
the separation of the infant from its
mother at birth, thereby depriving it
of the individual attention it would
have otherwise received. No evidence
was adduced that the babies were ne
elected at the institutions.
No Check on immortality.
Since the commission began its
work the police have closed the resorts
in the segregated districts here form
erly tolerated by the authorities.
According to- the report, however,
there is no evidence that immortality
is not practiced as extensively as ev-
er. Much of this evil is practiced
clandestinely, says the commission,
and business places, Offices, boarding
houses, and even homes are said to
have been found In great numbers
where immortality is introduced and
continued In practice.
It might not be out Of place to state
that all the above immortality In Bal
timore has been carried on by the best
class Of the White folks in that South
ern city and not by the Colored folks.

CHINA DECLINES TO
REcEDE FROM STAND TAKEN
notwithstanding the Japanese Minis
ter Threatened to Stop Negotiations.

Picking, April 13.-Conferences be-
tween the representatives of China and
Japan were resumed today, but there
was no break in the deadlock which
has arisen. The Chinese government
declines to recide from the position it
has assumed, Notwithstanding the fact
that the japanese min lister, Elli HioIsi
threatened today to discontinue the
negotiations.
The Chinese foreign minister. Lu-
cheng-Hsiang. refused to discuss
Group V of the Japanese demands.

most important demands made by
Japan, including the employment of
japanese political, financial and mill
itary advisers and Japanese police;
Japanese supervision of the manufac-
ture or purchase of China's war mu-
nitions and rights for railway and
mining operations.
NJ HiOki endeavored to draw the
Chinese representatives into a discus
sion of Article V of this group which
has to do with the concession to Japan
or rights for the construction of rail-
roads. He intimated that China had
favored Great Britain with railway
concessions and had not given similar
rights to Japan He again urged China
to grant the concessions demanded and
permit Japan to take up subsequently
with Great Britain any question which
might arise in respect to encroach-
ment on British railway interests.
The Japanese minister again post
poned consideration of the Manchuriar
group. The Chinese foreign minister
asked once more that discussion con-
corning this group be concluded. but
M. Hiokf replied that he was still
without instructions on this point
from Toxic.
