COLORED PEOPLE
Contributing To
MEMORIAL FUND
HOPE TO RAISE $3.50 TOWARD
THE MEMORIAL TO THE LATE
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

Responding to the call that the
colored people generally raise $780,
900 as their quota to the two million
dollar memorial fund as an honor to
the memory of the late Booker T.
Washington, and to make possible the
certain perpetuation of the educa-
tional work which he founded as rep
resented in the Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial Institute at Tuskegee, Ala,
the colored people of Pensacola have
stirred themselves that through pop
ular individual donations and through
other agencies as churches, societies
and other organizations they may
collect quite a neat sum and send
on to Tuskegee their contribution to
the sum total that the colored people
are expected to raise.
The colored people at large are
raising the $25O,000, the trustees of
the school, among whom are such
eminent business men, philanthropists
and publicists as Seth Low, VIM. j.
Schisffelin, VIM. G. Wilcox, presi-
dent Of the board of education Of
New York City; Frank Trumbull,
chairman board Of directors Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad; Theodore
Roosevelt, all of New York city; Ju-
lius Rosenwald and Edgar A. Ban
croft, Of Chicago, are pledged to raise
from the white people enough to COM
plete the fund which, of course, is
one and three-quarter million dollars.
Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the
institute, and who was Prof. Wash
ington's private secretary, and who
by many, especially Of the south's
whites and blacks, was thought to be
his logical successor, is in charge OF
the fund to be made up Of the con-
tributions Of the colored people. He

calities, largely following his plan,
and suggestions of raising the money
and popularizing the movement.
AS before stated, Pensacola's color
ed citizens are impressed with theil
duties in this respect, and With mucl
zeal and pride are hoping through
popular effort to raise not less thar
$3.50 for this particular purpose.
The local effort proceeds from

they discussed the subject of tick

ering of farmers and citizens general

unanimous conclusion, and this was
proven by careful poll, which had

One of the real interesting features
of the gathering, local men who at

was the range of questions which
were asked by those who attended,
which Served to show that they were

with which they could successfully
combat the ravages of the tick" said
a Pensacola man yesterday.
Another interesting part of the
meeting was the five minute talks, IN
which practically all present Joined

The farmers Of other neighborhoods
attended in large numbers, many

present, and, from the interest dis
played, it was evident that all pres

Petitions Out Asking That City Return
to Old Form Of Government.
Dissatisfaction with the commission
form Of city government in force in
this city for the past five years is
seen in the fact that a few petitions
have been circulated during the past
few days asking that the city return
to the old form Of government by
mayor and councumen from each
ward.
1t was learned today that two or
three petitions have been circulated
this week, stating that the commission
form Of government has not given gen.
eral satisfaction. and asking the sign
er to use his influence towards get
ting the former method Of govern
ment back in force The matter was
brought up at the last regular meet
ing of the Marshalltown Trades and
Labor Assembly. and discussed thor
oughly. Several members expressed
themselves in favor Of the movement
and It is understood that some Of the
petitions have been circulated by
members Of the assembly. The as
sembly as an organization, however,
has taken no steps to endorse the
movement those who are agitating the
question are doing so as individuals.
The commission form of city gov
eminent was put In force in Marshall
town in April 1911. AS provided by
law. this method of government must
be tried for period of six years be-
fore 1t can be discarded. The six
years Of trial will not be up until
April, 1917.
