Boston, Mass. August II, 1916.-The
proposed National Colored Citizenship
Rights Congress will be held in Wash
ington, D. c., the latter part of Sep
TENDER. After a canvass of the situa-
tion and receiving suggestions from
many race champions over the country,
Rev. Byron Gunner, of Hillburn, N. Y.
president of the National Equal Rights
League which proposes and calls the
congress in lieu largely of it's 9th
annual meeting, announces the capital
of the Nation as the consensus of opin-
ion to hold this race congress on equal
ity of rights. No place could be more
fitting.
An Open Congress.
This National Colored Congress is to
be an open one, both to delegated per-
sons and to individual representatives
of the cause who attend on their own
responsibility. 1t is to be free and
open for race conference, action and
declaration. The congress will organ
ize itself independently. The Equal
Rights League will call it to order and
those assembled will then create the
Congress.
Racial fraternizing, mutual acquaint-
ance, unity of spirit and of progress,
exchange of notes on local conditions,
race unity of feeling and future ma
tional working together for rights,
united declaration to the country of
Colored Americans on color proscrip-
ton, are among the purposes of this
gathering. No move will impress the
white American public on our presence,
numbers, capacity and spirit for equal
rights, like an actual national cOnven-
ton attended by large numbers of Col
ored Citizens from various states.
Delegated representatives are quite
advisable, and CHURCHES, civic and lit
erary societies, fraternal organization,
political and other clubs are asked to
elect and send delegates. The call asks
that Citizens Equal Rights Committee
be formed by public spirited citizens in
each community to work up interest,
hold a public meeting and send repre-
sentation. Any person is at liberty to
start such a Committee, act at once.
Secretary VIM. Monroe Trotter at "a
Cornhir, Boston will be glad to receive
suggestions and inquiries. All together
in 1916 and ON TO WASHINGTON.

INTO BRAIN

CAMBRIDGE CITY. Ind, March 25
---Despondency as result of domes.
tic troubles is assigned as the cause
of the suicide Of John Brandenberg,
80, blacksmith of this place, who
shot himself through the head with

cred by William Conrad in the black

trated the skull at the right ear and

shing's Mexican expeditions advance
base.
Various explanations were offered
ranging from malicious interference
on the part of Villistas or Villa sym
path1zers, to conflicting waves from
the station at San Francisco, the Ar.
ilnston station near Washington, or
the canal station in Panama.
1t was learned last night that the
conflicting waves have been traced
to minor stations IN border towns.
and government men are planning to
prohibit sending OF messages by these
irresponsible operators
The theory has been advanced that
ore deposits in the Mexican mountains
have drawn the waves from the send
ing station at Casas Grandes, but ac-
cording to wireless operators, this
could be overcome by increasing the
length of the wave.
