Los Angeles.-A distinguished and

service Is Attorney Willis o. Tyler, Il

Bishop Bratton Delivers Address at
Mississippi School.
Utica, Miss.-The Right Rev. Theo-
dore DuRosc Bratton, bishop of Missis-
sippi n leader Of educational and reli
gie1s thought in the south, made IA sig
nificant address to large audience Of
white and colored people at the recent
commencement exercises of the Utica
Normal and Industrial Institute For
the Training Of Colored Youth. located
in this town OF thrift and industry.
1t is significant that the voice and
pen of Bishop BrattOn, representing
the white race, and that of William H.
Holtzclaw, principal OF the Utica in
stitute, representing the colored race
were raised and employed by them to
defeat the Stevens bill, introduced in
the present session of the Mississippi
legislature, which sought to prohibit
white people from teaching in schools
for colored people.
mo people will come to a knowledge
Of themselves until they express them
selves in something they have made"
said Bishop Bratton. "Until you begin
to interpret yourselves by what you
accomplish you Will never know your
selves. Until you measure your ability
by your power to create, to accomplish
you can never know what your abili.
ties are.
II have often said to my friends OF
the colored race and also to my white
friends, that we must realize that
neither the Negro race knows itself
nor does the white race know the Ne
gro There has been no opportunity
for that until the last two generations
] would almost limit it to one genera
ton. / haven't much respect for Il
man who demands recognition until
he has done something by which to be
recognized"
Other short talks were made by En-
nett J. Scott, secretary. and Major J..

institute, and by +. ii. Coleman. su-
nerintendent of public instruction Of

Shcnk gave this case the closest Mt
tention and reviewed the briefs with
great care.
The courts decision will vitally af
feet thousands of real estate transac
tions throughout California, for it is
the common practice OF real estate
dealers to insert in deeds restrictive
clauses with view to excluding GER
tain classes of citizens. The property
In question was conveyed by the Title
Guarantee and Trust company to Pan
line kOsanOfska, by her TO II. II. Wig
ger, and the latter conveyed the prop
erty to II. l.. CARROT, colored man.
A provision incorporated in the deed
was as follows: Neither the said par
ty OF the second part nor her heirs or
assigns shall Or will - sell any por-
ton Of said premises to any person Of
African, Chinese or Japanese descent"
The guarantee company contended
that the transfer to CARROT was in yio-
lation OF the condition of the deed and
worked a forfeiture. Suit was brought
to secure the recOnveyance Of the
property. Restraint on discrimination
in violation of the constitutional rights
OF citizens regardless OF race color"

was the point pressed by the defend

Mr.. Tyler was born five miles from

Your editorial last week invited cor
respondence expressing views about
a hospital for colored people. Allow
me to contribute my opinion. The
County hospital is open to all colored
people, and yet l believe some col
ored people have money and would
prefer a private hospital where they
may have the physician whom they
want. | know from experience that
colored people are not wanted at
white private hospitals. | have visit
ed friends in white private hospitals
and they have told me that it was
very plain that the officers. the head
nurses and the other nurses were
prejudiced and showed it. If the col
ored people had a hospital of their
own, they could teach the others a
lesson by admitting all natioralities.
by having it's doors open to all the
physicians and their patients, regard
less of their color. If a white physi-
clan wants to send his patients there
he could do so: if a colored physician
wanted to send his patients there, he
could do so. If a young cOlored wom-
an wanted to learn nursing, she would
be given the chance in the colored
hospital | do not think cOlOred
nurses are now trained in the Denver
hospitals. Why cannot the colored
women of Denver organize like the
white women and support an institu-
ton that means real service to their
race?

LONDON, May 17.-Commenting upon the German notice to neutral powers that neutral steamers must not attempt to escape search when ordered to halt by U boats, papers today contend that Germany is he- ginning to regret having so early conceded to the United States it's de- mands as to the conduct of diver warfare and that this notice is pre- liminary to resumption of such operations. They claim here that the German situation is serious; food shortage, discontent in the army and general dissatisfaction with official dom are the leading causes of the national crisis.
