The Colorado statesman., 1915-06-12

The three-day session of the
Federation of Women's Club
which begun on Tuesday 18th inst.
and ended on Thursday 18th inst.
will be long-lived in the memory
of not only the wemen's clubs of
the Colorado jurisdiction but also
the citizens of Denver, as from
the kind of feeling and pleasant
relationship that existed among
the women it was clear that the
real spirit of FEDERATION was
in evidence. Beginning with an
executive session on Tuesday af-
terroon, follower by public re.
ception at Old Colony Hall IN
which more than five hundred per-
sons of both sexes participated,
the session continued On Wednes.
day at the Zion Baptist Church
which was generously given for the
holding of the sessions. On We'd
nesday evening public meeting
was held at the State Capitol
Building in Legislative Assembly
Hall presided by Mrs. Mary Fl.
Baker of Cheyenne. Wyoming,
president of the Federation. This
meeting was honored by the pres
ence of Governor George A. Carl
son and wife the former making
the address of welcome.
The governors speech was time
ly-tbe same lending an inspira-
ton to the large gathering assem-
bled as he appealed to them for
harmony and unity in their ranks
as those were the only agents that
would bring a closer relationship
and affiliation among the races OF
this great Republic. A program
consisting of music and speeches
was heartily enjoyed by the au-
dience-the contributors sharing
equally the applause given them.
Special mention must be made of
master Atwell Rose and Miss Cleo
Hobson pair of juvenile local
musical celebrities, who brought
down the house with their violin
and piano playing. The president
also gave ID very stirring address
which proved the marked ability
of our women and the latent talent
possessed by them. Thursday the
closing day marked the election of
officers for lhe ensuing year and
closing exercises. The following
were elected. President. Mrs.
Dorcas Watson, of Pueblo; 1st Vice
President, Mrs. L. M. Davis, of
Colorado Springs; End Vice Presi-
dent, Mrs. Hines of Grand juno
ton; Recording Secretary, Mrs.
Clara Banks, Colorado Springs;

Washington,-Judge Robert Fl.
Terrell, whose reappointment as
member of the bench of the Mu-
nicipal Court for the District of
Columbia, precipitated a big fight
among Southern Senators against
confirmation, fled a petition in
voluntary bankruptcy, few days
ago. He lists his liabilities as
$l3, ,491.5S and his assets above
legal exemptions as S62.50. An
attempt to revive judgments of
eleven years growing out of the
failure of the Capitol Savings
Bank, in which he had been a
stockholdcr, is assigned by Judge
Terrell as the cause of his action
in invoking the bankruktcy law.
The incident has caused some
surprise among Wasbingtonians,
as the incidents leading up to the
matter have largely been forgotten
in the whirling of time and other
exciting events; but no one seems
disposed to blame the Judge, for it
appears that he was a victim of an
unfortunate circumstance, for
which he was in no wise morally
responsible, and has suffered
enough in consequence thereof.
1t is an open secret that the Judge
as matter of pride and conscience
has for years been paying off debts
which should have been shared by
others, and that the major portion
of his earnings has gone in this
way. Too proud to take advan-
tage of the law until forced by
drastic measures to do SO, he has
borne his burden without COM
plant.

RACE NEWS
GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

Ashley Ward and Andrew Holmes,
three Young white men, were de-
clared guilty of first degree muir
der for the killing of Angus Nicely,
an Afro-American, and their sem
tences fixed at life Imprisonment
by jury in the First Division,
Circuit Court, last week. The sem
tence of life Imprisonment is the
first imposed in Pulaski county
and the conviction of white men
for first degree murder of an Afro
American sets precedent in Ar
kansas, it is said. An act passed
by the last Legislature gave jur-
les power to fix life Imprisonment
at the penalty in cases in which
formerly the death penalty was
mandatory. The victim of the
murder was native of Africa, very
eccentric and misery. He was
supposed to have had about 81, 800
concealed in his house Robbery
was the motive for the murder.
The aged man was killed on the
night of December IS, at his home
near Wrightsville. None of the
defendants showed any emotion
when the verdict was returned.

traditions intimately connected
with the life and history of the Ne
gro people, and particularly with
the movement which led to their
freedom and Acknowledgement, is a
Mecca toward which our race
should from time 10 time turn.
1t was in Boston the first meet
ing of the League was held Au-
gust 23rd and oath, 1900; and in
holding the meeting there this year
it will fittingly celebrate the Fif-
teenth Anniversary of the found
ing of the League; afford an op-
portunity for taking stock an
inventory, as it were-of racial
progress and development since
the organization of the league; and
fortified by the accumulated know
ledge and experiences of these
years, the business men and wo-
men of the race may face the fu.
ture with greater inspiration and a
hrmer grasp of the complex pro-
blems of modern business.
GAINS BY THE RACE IN FIFTEEN YRS.
In 1910, when the National Ne.
gro Business League was organi-
zed, there were about 10000 Ne
gro business enterprises; now there
are 45,0C0,
In 1900 there were two Negro
banks; now there are 81.
In 1900 Negroes were running
250 drug stores; now they have
695.
In 1900 there were $50 under
taking businesses operated by Ne
groes; now there are about 1000.
In 1900 there were 149 Negro
merchants engaged in wholesale
businesses; now there are 240.
In 1900, fifteen years ago, these
were 10000 Negro retail merchants
now there are $4,000.
FURTHER ECONOMIC PROGRESS
In the fifteen years since the Ma
tional Negro Business League was
farm property owned
by Negroes has made remarkable
increase. From 1900 to 1910, the
value of domestic animals owned
by Negro farmers increased from
SS5, ,216,337 to $177,273,792 or 1O7
per cent; poultry from $3,7S7, 1872
to SIS, 5,113,756, or 36 per cent; i'm
plement and machinery from $751;
to S36 ,S61, AIS, or SO per
cent; land and buildings from $685.
636,420 to $273,501, ,665, or 293 per
cent. In ten years the total value
of farm property owned by Negro
es increased from SIT, ,4O4,6SS to
1892, ,S92,21S, or lit per cent.
