TOO MUCH MONEY FOR
COLORED PEOPLE TO
SHARE in

New York, Jan. "a. BY the
unanimous decision of the Appel
late division of the Supreme
court recently, the cause of wo-
man suffrage becomes entitled to
the 81, 100000 residuary estate
disposed of in the will of Mrs.
Frank Leslie, widow of the pub
Usher, and known as the Baro-
ness de Bazus. Court upheld the
decree of Surrogate Fowler admit
alleges that the decedent was il
ting the will to probate and re-
fusing to entertain proceedings
brought by the grandchildren of
Frank Leslie to establish their
right to the bulk of the estate on
the ground that Mrs. Leslie's an
tecedents were such that she
could not make a valid will.
The opinion of the Appellate
division, written by Justice Scott
not only fails to sustain the con-
tention of the Leslie grandchil-
dren that they should have been
made parties to the probate pro-
ceedings, but removed the stig-
ma thrown around Mrs. Leslie's
birth by affidavits filed in behalf
of the children. In his opinion
Justice Scott said:
1t is conceded that the dece-
dent, who appears to have been
born in 1886 or 1887, was the
daughter of Charles Follin, who
was born in 1779 and died in 1859.

narrowly escaped death when
tons of molten iron exploded in
the plant of the Mississippi Iron
company here last week and scat

Austin, Texas. An unusual
sight was witnessed here when
Texas State Senators aeose from
their seats in the church where
they were attending the funeral
of E. S. Monroe, a colored man,
and paid eloquent tribute to his
memory. In addition, a COM
mittee of three Senators had
been appointed to attend the SER
vices held at his home. Mr..
Monroe was IA years old and had
been head porter of the State
Senate for thirty years. He died
at his home, 1901 East Eleventh
street. He is survived by the
widow and one daughter. He
was a prominent member of

Waycross, Ca, Jan. PA
colored farmer whose place is
near Waycross brought a couple
of hogs into the city yesterday
and showed that when it comes
to hog raising he knows a thing
or two about the business. Ike
Lane is the farmers name and
the hogs weighed between 80Oand
900 pounds. He has six that
won't tip the scales a pound un-
der the 800 mark, and few that
weigh between 600 and 300
pounds. The hogs are 2 years
old and cost very little to raise.
Ike is satisfied he could feed one
of his large hogs a few months
longer and take the record for
the largest hog in Georgia. One
of the immense hogs made a
dray load and attracted consider
able attention throughout the
time it was on exhibition in the
city.

Washington, who was General Arm
strong's most distinguished pupil, and
the remarkable influence he had and
is still having on the thought and
feelings of the South toward the Ne
gro. Think also of what a wonderful
work he did in spreading ideas of vo-
cational, practical education through
out the length and breadth of this
land! Think, too, of what other stu
dents of Hampton in an humber, but
no less effective way have accom-
plishedi
All of these activities, and more,
can be credited in part, if not entirely,
% the life and work and character and
spirit of the founder of Hampton In
stitute. In this glorious life we have
the foundation and the only founda-
tion upon which races and nations can
have real peace, the spirit of good
will toward men, black even as white,
North and South. Good will, it is, that
the nations of the earth are needing.
1t is that peace for which so many
unnumbered millions of suffering and
innocent human beings are yearning.
The idea which was crudely ex-
pressed by Carnegie hero student
now at Tuskegee Institute who, at the
risk of his own life in Waco, Texas,
saved the life of little white girl
ire ic
idea which will bind races and ma
tions together in peace and good will.
When asked whether he would have
preferred to save black child rather
than white child, he replied: You
don't stop to think, when an innocent
human life is at stake, whether you
are helping white person or black
person. All you know is that it is a
human being"
1t is that spirit which General Arm
strong and Doctor Frissell, through
Hampton Institute, have taught
throughout all of these years to black
man and white man, in the North and
in the South. 1t is only through that
spirit which is blind to color and to
race and to nationality, when human
lives, either physical, mental or moral
are at stake-it is only in this spirit
that we can conquer racial misunder-
standing and strife; it is only in the
spirit of Christian service that We can
have lasting, universal peace. 1t is
this spirit which General Armstrong
so aptly epitomized in this closing SEN
tence of his famous memorandum
pays to follow our best light, to put
God and country first, ourselves after
wards

RACE NEWS
GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

The petitioner (Arthur Leslie)
legitimate and was the daughter
of a Negro slave. He seems to
have selected this particular
mother for her because it would
not wholly answer his purpose to
claim merely that she was illegi-
innate, for in that case she might
have relatives on her mothers
side who would inherit from her.
Hence the attribution to her of
slave mother, who would have
no heritable blood. Of the asser-
ton that the decedent's mother
was a Negro slave, we can find
no competent proof in the papers
before us.
'Ther is an affidavit by a per-
son not of the decedent's family
on either side, that the atlantis
mother told her that the dece-
dent was the illegitimate daugh-
ter of Charles Follin by a Negro
slave. This statement, even if
true, which seems doubtful, has
no probative value because neith-
er the affiant nor her mother is
or was of the family of the dece-
dent. We, therefore, are forced
to regard petitioners allegation
that Mrs. Leslie was the daugh-
ter of a Negro slave demonstra-
bly, disproved.
''The evidenced is overwheling
that she was the daughter of
Charles Follin and one Susan
Danforth with whom he lived for
many years and recognized as his
wife. 1t is true that no record
of their marriage is produced, or
is apparently extant, but this is
unimportant in view of the mass
of evideuce that she was recog-
nized as his wife and Mrs. Leslie
was recognized as his and her
daughter, not only by Charles
Follin himself, but by his mother
and other members of his family.
If she was the daughter of Susan
Danforth it is immaterial wheth-
er she was legitimate or not, for
she left at least one relative on
her mothers side who was re-
presented on the probate of the
will"
Mrs. Leslie's will was admitted
to probate in December, 1914.
Because of the nature of the
charges made concerning Mrs.
Leslie's birth. Surrogate Coha-
Ian heard the testimony in secret
and the allegations were not dis
closed until he filed his opinion
refusing to permit the Leslie
grandchildren to be made parties
to the proceedings.
Mrs. Leslie left a total estrte
of about 81, 800, 600, and it is be-
lieved that the sum turned over
eventually to Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, named to administer
the income for the cause of suff-
rage, will amount to nearly
81, 500, 600.

Founde1'' S Day
Address
Of Robert R. Notion Principal of Tuskegee Institute Delivered
at Hampton Institute, Sunday, February a, 1917

was bound to follow the Emancipa-
tion. He said: Hampton has blessed
me in so many ways. Along with it
have come the best people of this
country for my friends and helpers;
and then such grand chance to do
something directly for those set free
by war, and indirectly for those who
were conquered" His object was not
merely to help the Negro, important
as that was, but to help the nation,
the North and the South, White and
Black.
General Armstrong saw, as we to-
day see and understand, that ignor-
ance breeds disease, physical as well
as moral. When the infection once
starts, it does not stop in the alley
or in the cabin of the Negroes, . but
finds it's way to the heights and to the
mansions of the white man. He be-
lieved that the highest development
of the Negro was very necessary to
the highest development of the white
man.
The Negro is sometimes accused OF
being a cowardly race. The fact Is
cited that the Negro did not rise up
during the War and massacre the
wives and children of the masters who
were fighting for their continued en-
slavement. His accusers forget that
the Negro always kept fresh and alive
his faith in God. His religion was his
beacon light There are also hun
dreds of toucing instances that re-
veal something of the loving tender
ness that existed between the slaves
and their owners. l hold, and can
hold, no brief for slavery; and yet it
cannot be denied that there was much
of kindness existing during the period,
now happily passed, that constrained
the Negro slave to protect with his
life those left in his care.
1t is my belief that kindness today,
rather than cruelty, will bring about
friendly cooperation between white
man and black man, Teuton and Sax
on, rich and poor, capital and labor
cooperation we all so much desire.
Sad and huimiliating as it truly is
for the family, friends, yes, and race
of those who, charged with crime, are
denied an orderly and impartial trial
unfortunately fall victims to the mob,
1t is much more unfortunate, in my
judgment, for the mob, for their chill
dren and friends, yes, and their race
also. The vivacious reaction of hatred
on the unfortunate possessor is far
more to be dreaded than it's results
upon the humble creature who suffers
from it. The white race should not,
and will not much longer, believe, al
low such barbarous misrepresenta-
tions of our civilization. The world
is coming more and more to the point
where it will see that you cannot hate
out, abuse out, shoot out or lynch out
human imperfections, real or imagin-
ary. We are learning that any perma-
nent eradication must come through
patience, faith, kindness, and good
will.
In the final analysis, the great glory
of America will not be tested by its
wealth, it's learning, its skill, its cul-
ture merely, nor yet by it's efficiency

In this time of the worlds great
strife, when there is universal longing
for peace, it is well for us here at
beautiful, peaceful, restful Hampton
Institute, because of the wisdom, pa
thence and sacrifice that have gone
into establishing it, to think of its
founder who worked out here in con-
crete form the fundamental principle
of universal and lasting peace, equal
ly as applicable to nations as to races.
The angels song, Peace on earth !;
good will toward men," meant good
will toward all men, not to our own
nation only, not to people of our own
social status merely; it meant good
will toward all humanity.
General Armstrong was able always
to recognize humanity amid ignorance
and poverty, as well as beneath race
and color lines. 1t did not matter
whether it was with the Kanakas in
the Hawaiian Islands. or with the
choice youth of New England at VIII
liams College, or as captain of his
company of Troy citizens, or whether
it was adjusting relations between for
mer master and slave on the. Virginia
peninsula, or teaching two and per-
haps three races the dignity and beau
ty of labor, and the grandeur and
glory of service.

Negro, in the Indian, in the Southern
white man. He believed in the ulti-
mate triumph of right and justice and
good will, and there could be whole
some and happy adjustment between
races, and he was willing to work un-
falteringly towards its accomplish
ment. 1t was this hopefulness, this
zeal, with which he was able to so
thoroughly inspire those who were so
fortunate as to come under his instruc-
tion and influence.
Thus we have this great institution
with all that has grown out of it, not
only other institutions, but what is
more beautiful, its educational ideals

it of the larger Hampton as welfs
1t is sometimes said that the Negro
was placed in America and in the
South by accident. That may be true.
But l believe that the Divine Hand
had as much to do with placing the
Negro in America and in the South as
it had with placing the Jews in Egypt
The Negroes presence may have ad-
ded something to the annoyance of his
white brother. 1t had certainly added
a great deal to his economic, and may
be much to his religious and spiritual
development.

pressed his pride in being Negro
He was fond of telling of what won

and through it the country. He was
right. We Negroes of America have
a wonderful chance, one almost to be
envied, to help in shaping the lives,
the destiny not only of the Negroes OF
this land, but also of Africa.
Few men saw as did General Arm
strong how necessary it was that the
two races should be satisfactorily ad-
iusted to the new relationship which
