Urban Conditions. with headquarters
at 1908 Seventh avenue, this city, con
cluded its annual health week cam
paign on Sunday. April 20, by holding
four OF the largest and most enthusi
astic public meetings in all its history
The winding up day had been widely
heralded, with Dean William Pickens
OF Morgan college, Baltimore, as the
chief speaker The entire office force
under the direction of Executive Secre-
tary Eugene Kinckle Jones, had been
at work for weeks ferreting out every
detail for health week, which began
Sunday. April %, and it is needless to
say that every one had his house set in
order before the great swing around
the city on the closing day.
The first meeting was held at the
Union Baptist church in West Sixty
third street, the Rev. George ii. Sims
pastor at II O'Clock a. M The ari.
dience assembled very promptly, pre-.
pared to get the full benefit of Dean
Pickens' speech. William d. ;Iill rem.
dered a vocal solo with much precision
and melody, and Miss Elizabeth Wal

Instances in which relief had been
given to needy persons in the more

Rev. DIR. William II. Brooks pastor
Fred X. Moore presided, and Miss
Diggs, a member Of ST. Marks lyceum,
was the soloist Previous to Dean
Pickens address e. X. Jones told in
brief OF the growth Of the league In
its various branches Of work. He paid
an affectionate tribute to Mrs. William

and L. II. Wood.
From St Marks the league party
was motOred to Brooklyn for the fourth
and last meeting and dined at the Bios
som inn, Mrs. FL. Hanley proprietor,
1862 Bridge street. DR.. G. +. Cole, pas
tor OF the Bridge Street A. NJ. E. church,
where the evening meeting was held,
dined with the party. and afterward
all repaired to this famous church, the
basement OF which was used as an un.
derground railroad station for slaves
escaping from the south. Arthur W.
Towne, superintendent OF the Brook
Iyn Society For the Prevention of Cru
city to Children, presided. Miss Marie
Cooper rendered vocal solo with
much grace and sweetness, and Score
tary Hubert presented the claims of
the Urban league work for Brooklyn.
This meeting furnished fine climax
to the days speaking tour. The au-
dience was large and interesting. Dean
Pickens has many friends In Brooklyn,
and they were out ell masse to hear
him speak. The dean swayed his au-
dience at Will and closed his speech
with one Of the finest pOrtrayals of the
struggles and achievements of the race
that could possibly be imagined. 1t
was a great day for the National
League on Urban Conditions Among
ColOred People, in which it added many
new names TO its already long list OF
friends.

W. Robinson, James A. Cobb, Dean
Kelly Miller, Whitfield Mckinley and
Roy Nash had an interview with Sec
rotary of War Newton ID. Baker on
Friday morning. April q. Dr. Spin
gam acted as spokesman and asked
that the secretary Immediately author
iZe General Wood to invite 300 colOred
men TO enter Plattsburg or any other
of the regular training camps which
have just been instituted.
The secretary replied that he could
not do so at that time. but that he
was seriously considering the whole
matter and was committed 10 the plan
for training Colored officers for colored
regiments. lie stated he had not decid-
ed whether 10 have separate battal-
ion of cOlored officers in regular
camp or separate and distinct camp
for colored officers and would take
Whichever was least offensive to the
colored people
This means that an opportunity for
the training Of colOred officers will
probably be deferred until the end of
the present camp-that is to say. mtil
about Sept. /. II is not impossible
however. that n camp may be organ
lied before tha; time, and 1t is incum-
bent upon all the colOrcd people Of the
country to get together and make a
fight for this form of training Nothing
Is more important at this time than
that colorcd men should be given an
opportunity 10 train themselves as of
ticers.
The names of applicants now in the
hands Of DR., Spingarn will be retained
for future use. aud all further applica-
tionS should he sent To Roy Nash, 20

the Police.

Four casks of beer. seized early on
Tuesday morning, are now at the
Moorhead police station and no init
nation has reached the police that
they will be claimed by the owner.
The beer was first located late on
Saturday night on a truck that had
been pulled up under some trees on
the north side in Moorhead. Where
the four casks came from is not
known, but when discovered by the
Moorhead police they were on an auto
truck, owned by a Fargo dray line,
! and were carefully covered with blan-
kets.
The story of the journey up to the
time of discovery is not known.
Watch was kept of the places where
10 was thought delivery might be
made. and, the coast not being clear,
the journey was down Fourth street
north Here the four casks were un--
loaded and slowed in the weeds at the
end of the street.
After an over Sunday and Monday
halt the journey was resumed about
4 o'clock on Tuesday morning. The
dray came across the north bridge
and was run down Fourth street
north to the cache. After the four
cases were again loaded on the dray,
the journey was resumed. The trail
across TO Fifth street north, and then
TO First avenue, was followed. Then
came another halt, for Officer Ed. Saw

of the Moorhead police department,

WHEAT TRADE
STILL Light

Chicago, I'LL, Aug. Wheat: There
was very little trade in wheat today.
snow estimated winter wheat at 40,-
600, 900 bushels over previous estimate
ana spring wheat 40,000,0 900 less.
Corn: Kansas and Oklahoma and
parts of Kansas had fine rains the
past twenty-four hours, and this, with
the slow buying demand. took the
edge on the market. Prices sold down
sharply but the decline was checked
for a time by shorts taking profits
and buying against bids. With the
rains relieving drought in sections
that have suffered most, the outlook
is much improved. Snow estimates
Aug. promise at close to 1900, OO0, 900
bushels on the present government
acreage. The late crop has probably
saved 1t from much damage that
would have occurred IL much of the
crop had been fully In tassel Cash
conditions not much changed, but the
demand from industries is likely to be
curtailed in few weeks and new crop
conditions will have more effect The
market is likely to be weather prop
iosition for the present
Oats: The tone to the oats market
has been heavy. The weather condi-
tions have been fairly favorable and
the crop outlook, according to B. w.
Snow, may exceed 1900, 000, 900. While
the country has not sold much oats to
arrive, the crop is late and from now
on the chances are for much greater
pressure.
