Washington was too ready to help peO-

barrass himself rather than see some
friend embarrassed. That same spirit

art by his painstaking care and earnest
effort saved Mr.. Washington much de-

his farming interests, took care Of his
bank account and, in other words, did
for him all those things that other
men do for themselves.
He Is good business man. He
knows how to handle tenants and get
the best spirit Of cooperation out of
them, makes them feel that he Is their
friend by working as much In their in

helping them to help themselves. Mr..
Washington set great store by Mr..
Stewart and regarded his opinion very
highly. Mr. Stewart was born in Da-

ed at Tuskegee institute in 1904.
He Immediately went into DR.. Wash

THE SCOURGE OF A RACE.
Two Segregation Ordinances Passed by
St. Louis, Tuesday, Feb. 20.

Just as a we'll planned antithesis may
be included in the formation Of a SEN
tence the two race segregation ordi-
nances voted upon by the people of
st. Louis on Tuesday, Feb. %, received
a big majority on the eve Of the first
convention of the national defense com,
mittee, held in St. Louis on Friday and
Saturday, March and 4. The cOnven-
ton was composed Of the mayors and
other representatives Of over 600 cities
of the United States.
The segregation ordinances voted
upon by the people of St. Louis Feb.
20 were passed by majority vote of
34,344, the vote being 1920 for segre-
CATION to 1876 against.
The two propositions voted upon
were similar in character. One of the
ordinances provides that Negro or
white may not become resident in a
block occupied entirely by those of the
opposite color. The other imposes the
same restrictions in blocks containing
Is per cent white or the like percentage
of Negro residents.
AS both ordinances are adopted, the
second, being the more stringent Of the
two, will be effective. Neither Ordi.
nance puts any restriction on the own
ership of property, but restricts solely
the use Of property for residence pur
poses.
Negroes who are employed in houses
or apartments occupied by white per
sons are unaffected by the ordinances
Apartment house janitors who live in
the easements of apartments occupied
by whites will not be affected.
Both ordinances contain clauses pro
viding that the proposed laws shall not
affect persons at present living in
blocks occupied by members of the
other race. Under the more stringent
or "75 per cent measure only about
$50 blocks will be available for Negro
residences.

PROFESSOR HART SPEAKS.
Harvard Instructor Says "Birth Of a
Nation" SIanders CoIored Race.


In stirring speech at the Twelfth
Street Baptist church In Boston, where
joint celebration Of the anniversaries
Of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick
Douglass was held. Mr. Albert Bush
nell Hart, professor Of American his
tory at Harvard college, declared that
"The Birth Of Nation" photo play
was a SANDER of the north, Of the
Union soldier, white and cOlOred, and
Of the cOlOred people and was an at
tack upon the spirit of Abraham Lin
coin.
The celebration was held under the
auspices Of the Greater Boston branch
Of the Equal Rights league. Mr.. Joshua
A. Crawford in his address said that
Douglass had to overcome much great
er obstacles than Lincoln, as he lived
as a slave till twenty years old. Doug
lass advocated manly resistance and
increasing opposition to any abridg-
ment Of citizenship rights for cOlOrcd
Americans. The speaker said that the
civic conditions for cOlorcd people
were great deal worse now than
twenty years ago, when Douglass died,
and ascribed this to the influence Of
colOred leaders, who. unlike Douglass,
advocated silent submission to injus-
| tice and attention to securing money.
| After speech by Charles l.. RaysOr,
who denounced the anomaly of people
constituting one-half Of the population
Of state having no representative I'm
the judicial or legislative government
thereof, as in the south, and, though
100000 strong, none in the national
government, resolutions were adopted,
read by the chairman, William M.
TrOtter, urging all Americans to pre-
serve the work Of Lincoln by opposing
color prescription and denOuncing the
"virtual seizure Of Haiti by the United
States under this Democratic admins
tratiOn." 1t was cited that Douglass
resigned as minister to Haiti when an
attempt was made to get coaling
station there.

BINGA DISMOND'S SUCCESS.
University of Chicago Runner Scores
Biq Victory In Brooklyn.

University of Chicago Runner Scores
Big Victory In Brooklyn.
In describing the recent victory of
Binga DESMOND, who won the sub
urban quarter mile race in New York
on the evening of Feb. %, the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle says: A new athletic name
has sprung into prominence to stand
alongside of Ted Meredith, Tom Hal
pin, Homer Baker, Dave Caldwell and
Billy Moore, the sterling bunch of
quarter milers which is burning up the
board floors of New York and vicinity
this season. 1t is Binga DESMOND,
who wears the silks of the University
Of Chicago.
He came on from the Windy City to
match strides with the above named
bunch in the knights Of st. Anthony
games at the Forty y-seventh regiment
armory last night. He matched strides
so well that he won the race, that's
all. He simply ran the feet off the
champions, near champions and for
mer champions included in the list.
This is the biggest surprise Of the
year, with the exception Of the disap
pointing showing made by Joe LOOmis
recently. DESMOND Is comparatively
unknown in Brooklyn, his home town.
Up to three years ago he was star
Of the Loughin Lyceum club, running
anchor for the relay team. He has
been at the Chicago university three
years.
Dismond rushed to the fore in the
suburban quarter with the crack Of
the gun. He was closely followed by
Meredith at the pole, with Lennon,
Moore and Halpin next In order. At
the 100 yard mark Tommy Lennon
showed first, with the Negro flier Of
Chicago in second position. Then
Meredith passed Lennon and DismOnd
and rushed along in the pacemaking
position.
The signal for the last lap started
things. DESMOND, who had been NOV
ing easily and smoothly, let out Il
notch and jumped to the front He
was never headed. Meredith, with
that famous finish, got second honorS.
with Billy Moore of Princeton third
Tommy Lennon Of the University Of
Pennsylvania. who won the 900 yard
event at the New York \. e.. after i
years layOlf finished fourth.
