NEGROES DEcRY MOB VIOLENCE
Women's Convention Here Is Expect
ed to Urge U. S. Law on lynchings.

Lynchings were decried by the dele
gates at the convention of the Nation
al Association of Colored Women in
Shorters chapel Thursday night. Sew
eral speakers touched on the subject.
Miss Mary White Ovington, the
chief speaker of the evening, told the
delegates that 247 Negro men have
been killed by mob violence since the
declaration of war. 1t is probable that
a resolution will be adopted asking
that lynching be made a federal Of
fense.
Miss Ovington also described the
change in attitude of the War Depart
ment toward the black man; how at
first it was planned to send him to
Europe only as a laborer, but now he
has his own officers training camps
and complete Negro units under Or.
GERS of their own race in service in
France.
Tells of Red Cross.
Miss Halle O. Brown, at the morn
ing session, spoke on another phase OF
war work in which the race is enter
ing into it's own-the Red Cross. She
is an instructor in Wilberforce college
the oldest Negro school in America,
and has recently returned from Eu-
rope. Later her charge that Negro
women had trouble in being admitted
to the Red Cross was refuted by Miss
Lettie NJ. Welch of the Mountain States
Bureau. Miss Brown told of twenty
five young men, graduates of Wilber-
force, every one of whom earned his
commission, and one ranked highest
in the training camp in the final tests.
She is also a w. C. T. u. worker and
an equal suffrage advocate.
At the afternoon session thirty Ne
gro women in Red Cross uniform were
present 1t was at this meeting that
Miss Welch told of three Negro wom-
zen, all of whom had applied here,
passing the examinations and being
accepted. Dr. Mary Waring of Chi
cago also spoke. She emphasized the
point that her race is not seeking any
special legislation but merely
square deal" Only women competent
are desired by the race to be made
nurses for the army.
No Negro Y. w. C. A.
There is no Negro branch of the
Young Women's Christian association.
Miss Eva B. Bowles, who handles the
corresponding work for the race, ad-
dressed the convention on that sub
ject.
She also advocated more confer
ences on women's work between the
two races, urging the selection OF
trained women from the Negro race
as delegates at such meetings The
training school for Negro women in
New York was described by the
speaker.
The attendance at each session has
shown an increase. 1t is probable that
several important resolutions will be
acted upon today, as the convention
will close soon. 1t is possible that
further plans concerning the future
disposition of the Frederick Douglas
Memorial home also will be discussed
1t is to be used as memorial OF
the Mount Vernon type but there is
some talk of establishing an educa-
tional institution there.

CHEYENNE (wYo.) NEWS.

A grand concert at the Second Bap-

The concert given at the Second
Baptist Church on the evening of the
4th of July, by Mrs. Anna Dickson, Mrs,
Leah Norman, with Mrs. George War
ren, instructor, was grand success in
every way. Mrs. Warren and the two

About $4,000 was raised, which the

BEAN AUTO LIVERY.

This auto livery has acquired such
a popularity among Denverites that
the proprietor has added a new Cole

of his patrons, who are sure to reap
everything advantageous to their com
fort and pleasure. Beanie as he is
popularity called, is accredited one OF
our most careful and painstaking drlv-
ers, and his instructions to those in
his employ insure the safety OF pas
sengers, who eagerly compete for
transportation in and out of town. The

firm a greater measure of success.

That the new addition to the Lewis

tion of large number of the people
is not to be wondered at, as the pro-
prietors, with their busy staff of work
ers, foremost among whom are the
manager, advertising agent, Miss
Alyce Ham, and others, are doing
their utmost to prove that this great
commercial center is unequalled in
the West. The patronage increases
daily and the general opinion is that
a pace is being set by this firm OF
several years standing in the com
munity that will not be easily sur
passed. More of success attendant
with the new trade is our wish.

Bohenlians in
Nebraska Said to be
Very Patriotic

| j. r. Laird of Lincoln Park visited
the Record office this afternoon and
reported the great patriotism of the
Bohemians in Saline county, Nebras-
ka, and of the efforts they are max
ing TO win the war for the allies.
Mr.. Laird formerly lived in Saline
! county and has a wide acquaintance
among the people in that part of Ne
braska. He tells of the six sons of
Mr. and Mrs Max Starkan, Bohe-
mian residents of Wilbur, the county
seat of Saline county. who have gone
to war and of the preparation their
only unmarried daughter is making to
go to the front as Red Cross nurse
None of the Starkan boys waited for
the draft, says Mr.. Laird, but volun-
teered for the military service. and
nearly ali of them are now in France
than the Starkans anywhere Mr..
Laird would like to know it
he says there were practically no
young men of draft age among the
Bohemians in Saline county when the
first call to the colors was issued by
the war department, all oil them hav-
ing previously made voluntary enlist
ment In the army.
Saline county is known as the
Bohemian county" and thousands of
that nationality and descent live
there. They are strongly American in
sentiment and conviction and have
invested hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in Liberty bonds and in War
Savings stamps. They are strong srp-
porters of the Red Cross and the Y.
NJ c. A. and are doing their bit in
all of The enterprises in whilh he
government is engaged
