DECISION FAvORS E. P. JONES.

National Baptist Convention Contro-
vsrsy Settled by Judge In Chicago.
Chicago.-A decision rendered in the
courts Of this city the second week In
January by Judge Smith sustained the
demurrer Of Attorneys Walter. n.
Farmer Of this city and william Harri-
son Of Oklahoma City. recognizing the
National Baptist convention, Of which
the Rev. Il. p. Jones, D. D., Of Vicks-
burg, Miss, was elected president. Il
viii be remembered that during the
month Of September. 1915. the Baptists
held q convention In this city and d.
vided into two parts over q charter
got ont by seven men.
A majority Of 100 or more votes in
the convention showed that the
strength Of the convention was against
the charter, whererpon the Rev. DR..
Il. G. Morris, president. and his follow
ers left the chair. and the convention
Immediately elected DR.. d. P. Jones
and an entirely new set Of officers.
The Incorporated convention led by DR..
Morris got out an Injunction to prevent
the Jones people from using the name
National Baptist convention.
The case has been hanging flre for
some time. The decision by the court
is farreaching. as It tears down and
virtually eliminates the Incorporated
faction as national body. The con-
test was sharp and prolonged. Able
counsel represented both sides, but In
the demurrer offered by the attorneys
for The Jones faction every contention
made and the FIVE points Of law pre-
sented were upheld
President Jones was reached by wire
In Philadelphia and expressed himself
as being well pleased, declaring that he
knew the will OF the majority Of the
Baptists would be sustained. It is said
that this decision puts the incorporated
faction to rout. It is learned that
President Jones will call a meeting Of
his advisers. consisting Of the chair
men and the secretaries Of the various
boards, together with the elective en-
GERS. to meet in Nashville at an early
date

TREACHERY OF THE FRENCH

Chaplain Thsophilus q. stsward's New
Volume on Uprising In santo Do
mingo Describes Bravery Of Former
Slaves and How They Finally Won
Their Freedom.
BY JOHN 3. BRUCE "cRIT."
Chaplain Theophilus g. Steward, pro.
fessor Of history at Wilberforce uni.
versity, writes entertainingly in his
book entitled "The Haitian Revolution
Q791- 1900, or Side Lights on the
French Revolution" This book con-
tains thrilling description of that
unique struggle by which a handful of
slaves in Santo Domingo transformed
themselves into free men. and created
the republic Of Haiti
1t details the life Of that remarkable
genius Toussaint l. 'Ouverture. 1t shows
many illustrious men and martyrs to
the cause Of liberty. 1t shows deter
mined people fighting against armies
which disregard all laws Of civilized
warfare, tyrants who drown prisoners
and devote women and children to the
murderous fangs of famished blood
hounds. 1t shows humane Toussaint
LOuverture captured through treach-
cry. 1t finally shows an avenging Des.
salines, equal to all atrocities and de-
claring, what to me is the opinion Of
posterity SO save my country
have just finished reading this book,
and l cannot find words sufficiently
strong In which to commend II. DR..
Steward in writing it has rendered a
distinct service to the race and has
given us history Of Haiti to date
which will be valuable book Of refer
ence to the student and researcher.
Tie Army and Navy Register says
Of 1t, "NO more interesting book has
been written than this of Chaplain
Steward on the revolution which con-
verted the colony of Santo Domingo
into the republic Of Haiti, described
by the author as one Of the most in
teresting movements Of modern times"
Chaplain Steward has consulted nu-
merous authorities Of Haitian. Ameri-
can and French origin.
The book Is valuable as contribu-
ton to history, and the text embodied
In some fourteen chapters Is accompa-
MED by portraits Of leaders and q use
ful map. Notable is the thrilling de-
scription of the unique struggle by
which handful of slaves created the
republic Of Haiti. 1t Is quite evident
that Chaplain Steward has devoted
much time and thought, intelligent re-
search and discriminating selection In
the preparation of this history, which
with all Its veracity has the engaging
quality Of romance.
Now that Haiti Is again very much
In the public eye and its future is
hanging I'm the balance as a result Of
internal disorders, due very largely to
outside interference, this book should
hold some interest for those who would
know the truth and especially what
manner of man the Haitian is. He
