In controlling the girls has been un.
usual. Some Of them never knew what
kind words and sympathy were until
they came to the school. If a girl goes
through the day without forgetting a
duty or failing to be quiet and ladyIike
she is given the privilege of wearing a
pretty bright bow with her white col

THE marking system is used. When

OF 9S per cent for two months in sue

waist on special occasions. When she
succeeds in making an average of 90
per cent for three months in succession
she is allowed to wear a white dress TO
evening prayers and on special occa-

girl. When an honor girl fails to keen
to the standard she has to 90 back to

to start all over again and work for

"ON TO BALTIMORE"

From the Department of the Pres,
National Association of Colored
Women's Clubs.
Easily, the greatest forward race
movement of the age is the National
Association of Colored Women's
Clubs, and the leading spirit among
them the President; Mrs. Booker T.
Washington. Emerging from the
gloom which has recently enveloped
her, she has apparently re-consecra-
ted her life to the uplift of the race,
and by her helpful messages of encour-
agement to club leaders all all over
the country is inspiring officers, de-
partment heads and members to a
greater activity than ever before been
evinced in the work.
The next Biennial will be held at
Baltimore, Nd, in August. Mrs.
Washington presiding.
This meeting bids fair to be the
most interesting in the history of the
Association. The meeting in 1912 at
Hampton was intensely interesting
and inspiring; that at Wilberforce in
1914 was wonderful and far reaching
in its effects - wonderful group of
women, showing a remarkable insight
in the philosophy of life and demon
strating a constructive ability which
portends wonderful results in the next
few years.
"On to Baltimore" is the slogan of
every race organization of women,
and where the women are the men
will likewise be found.
BY courtesy of the editor I shall
from time to time issue information
through the columns of this paper,
relative to the great Biennial at Bal
timore in August.

Well Known Baptist Minister Spurn
| Injustice Done Coiored Americans.
! Before he knew of the call of the
| National Equal Rights league for q
national gathering the Rev W. II
Jernagin, d. D., pastor of the Mount
Carmel Baptist chu.rh in Washington
had prepared the following statement
in which he says:
Il have teen pra! erfully consider
Ing the situation which confronts Us
as a race in this country. When the
news of the almost wiping out of the
Tenth United States cavalry was flash
ed over this country recently from
Mexico it showed that our race has
ever been ready and willing to shed
the first blood when the dignity of the
United States must be upheld 1t must
be admitted that it was quite a blum
der on the present administration in
Its dealings with the Mexican question
to allow a company of the best SOL
diers of the land to be shot down un.
der such circumstances.
Il believe now Is the time for the
conservative men of the Negro race
out OF every state to meet together in
conference, behind closed doors if
needs be. for the first day at least,
and there agree and decide upon some
ching to present to the United States
congress that might arouse to con-
sc1ousness that it would be willing tc
make the United States constitution
the instrument of protection that it
declares itself to be in dealing with
the civil and political rights of black
men as well as of white men.
1T Is pathetic and at the same time
travesty on American justice when
our men offer themselves willing
sacrifice to avenge wrongs done white
Americans in Mexico, when the coun-
try demands retribution and wreaks
vengeance on MeXicans who kill white
men, the United States tolerates and
silently indorses the lynching of black
men under it's own flag nearly every
week in the year. The president and
congress that are as silent as the
sphynX on Outrages committed on
black men right in this country. speak
IN thunder tones and send a nation
or men to avenge~ the wrong done
white Americans in Mexico
But we who are not at the front
must not slumber in our tents, but rise
up and demand the proper protection
OF black Americans in America n,
we'll as protection Of white Americans
IN Mexico. | hereby appeal to every
race loving man and woman to ex-
press their views on the advisa bility of
holding a conference in the city of
Washington or some other convenient
place early in the fall. In Joint
meeting Of the Baltimore and Wash
lngton ministers conference held in
June such conference of the leaders
or the race was indOrsed, and it was
advised that DR.. William Alexander
Of Baltimore and the writer should
call such meeting. Duplication in
work of this kind should be avoided
as far as possible; therefore the views
OF the public will greatly aid in the
matter OF the most fitting time for
holding the proposed conference Let
us catch time by the forelock, act WISE
ly and stand firmly by our convictions.
l Will be glad to hear from any one
who approves Of the plan. Yours for
the rights of the Negro race,

SUGAR SHIP FIRE
NEW BOMB MYSTERY
Vessel Loading for Allies Has
$4,000 Blaze at Pier.

Suspicion that spies again were at
work on the waterfront was aroused
last night when flames burst from the
hold os the steamer Huttonwood, being
loaded with sugar for the Allies at
Long Dock. Brooklyn Two fire boats
and the seventy-fve men who had been
at work loading the craft worked for
two hours before the fire was under
control. The loss is about $4,000.
The significance of the fire was found
in the fact that there was no possible
explanation of its origin except by
spontaneous combustion or concealed
bomb. Although Fire Marshal Brophy
refused to offer any theory as to the
probable cause, he took samples of the
sugar near the spots that had been
in flames for analysis.
1t was suggested' by experts. who
viewed the charred interior Of the
steamer that a chemical bomb which
when confined in the hold of a ship for
a certain number of hours would ex-
plode, causing a fire, might be found
TO have caused the flames. In the
event that such method has been used
to destroy the cargo, II IS believed
that traces of the chemical would be
found in the cargo. 1t is in an effort
TO find such traces that samples VIII
be turned over to the city chemists
to-day.

recommendation authorizing the FED
eral Trade Commission as the agency
to prevent predatory price cutting
There are not, however, enough votes
to secure the two-thirds majority to
commit the national chamber on this
proposition.
More than 354 commercial organza-
tions located in forty-one states,
Alaska, Hawaii and the District of Col
umbia and the American Chamber Of

ment giving the Sage OF oyster BAY

solid Sherman delegation from ILLINOIS.
Senator Sherman wants Charles Is.
Sergel. CITY Treasurer, and John Siman,
Citv Clerk. two known Roosevelt men,
TO vote for the Colonel on the hrst
ballot i'm the Coliseum convention.
Edward J. Brundage, Cook County
Sherman manager in Chicago, was au-
thoriZed TO make the statement for
Senator Sherman. At once the word
went out in presidential Row in Mi
chigan Avenue that this is another
move of the "favorite sons" TO Kill off
Justice Charles +. Hughes. The Sher-
man announcement comes fast upon
the declaration of Fred W. Upham OF
the cold gaurd" tents that as between
the Colonel and the justice he prefers
Colonel Roosevelt.
Senator Sherman has heard that
both Mr. Sergel and Mr.. Siman were
ready to vote for him on the first bal
lot" said Mr. Brundage. The Sen
ator authorized me TO say that he ~
willing TO take their declarations as
an evidence of their friendliness and.

Review of Reviews" presided at the
afternoon session, Irving I. Bush in
the evening.
"Of many pressing political ques-
tions facing US for solution said Mr.
Breckenridge, that of the adoption OF
universal military service is the most
vital. From the purely military stand
point, none will deny that universal
service is the best foundation for ma
tional defence. | believe also that It
would afford the most powerful agency
for effecting the national unity. Uni
versal military service is essential TO
the safety of America and the integrity
of its policies; it is morally just, and
impairs the ideals of democracy not
one iota.
"If this nation heeds the maudlin
preachments of its Fords and organs
it will pay for it by billions of levied
treasure, by millions of lives slaugh-
tered in a sacrifice to ufpreparedness
and by abject and unprecedented ma
tional humiliation, if not extinction"
Mr.. Wood declared that the weak
nesses and antipathy we have shown
through the last two years have made
US despised by every great nation. i
have been in Europe, and nave learned
so by personal experience" he said.
Mr.. Chrsten, speaking on the Swiss
system Of military training, said: The
Swiss army is not one of school boys.
They receive some training, intended
to indirectly benefit the army, but men
become an army only when divided into
divisions and army corps and Differed
from top TO bottom. We must keep
this before our eyes in the United
States"
Mr.. VOL said that appeals directed
by officers Of the National Guard to
employers to urge Their employees to en-
list shattered too much of the efforts
used some years ago to compel en-
ployes TO vote along certain political
lines "Organized labor cannot look
with equanimity upon such economical
compulsion," he declared.

a Republican, Roosevelt league had
been organized at the Fillmore Hotel
i'm New York, with George Won l.
Meyer, ex-Secretary Of the Navy, as
chairman, and William Loeb, jr, as
vicc-chairman.
1t is the third distinct national or

Progressive party. with George W:
Perkins as the directing genius, and
the Non-P Partisan Roosevelt League.
II is the understanding in Washing

TO be formidable movement, and its
purpose seems to he to enlist IN the

regular Republicans who followed
President Taft in 1912.
