be the white mans burden
when he dise overs that his

play. in which Robert Hilla-d
acts the hero with the "taint,''
goes in detail int D the science
OF obstetrics. The offspring
who inherits the cloud that
hangs over its father is not
permitted to be taken for

arrives when the invalid moth

owns it and heaps her bitter

who confesses he was aware
of his inheritance before their

DECISION MAKES JONES
HEAD BAPTIST CONVENTION

A decision rendered in the
courts of Chicago today by
Judge Smith sustained the de-
murer of Attorneys Walter
M. Farmer, of Chicago, and
VIM. Harrison of Oklahoma a
City, recognizing the Nation
al Baptist Convention. of
which E. P. Jones, D. D., of
Vicksburg, Miss. was elected
president. 1t will be remem :
bered that during the month
of September last year the
Baptists held convention in
Chicago and divided into two
parts over a charter gotten
out by seven men. DR.. Nor
ris and his followers left the
chair and the convention i'm
mediately elected E. P. Jones
and an entirely new set of of :
hcers. The Incorporated con-
vention. led by DIR. Morris,
got out an injunction to pre-
vent the Jones people from
using the name, National Bap
tist Convention. The case
has been hanging fire and the
decision today by the court is
far-reaching, as it tears down
and virtually eliminates the
Incorporated faction as a ma :
tional body.
