COLORED PHILANTHROPIST DIES
SUDDENLY AT SOMERSET; WAS
WORTH MILLION IT'S CLAIMED.

Somerset, Kentucky, Dec. 11.--Dr.
James S. Anderson of Somerset, KY,
died suddenly at his home Wednes-
day morning 10 o'clock. The Doctor
was known as an Indian Herbist,
but throughout the state he was bet
ter known as the Colored philan
thropist since his offer of a few
months ago to give 100000 for the
the promotion of better educational
facilities at State University.
DR.. Anderson came to the State
a little more than 8 years ago. 1t
is reported that he was sued and
broken up in Tennessee. Coming to
Kentucy broke he started selling
his medicine in Somerset in a tent.
1t was only short time, however,
before his ability as an herbist was
known throughout the country, with
patients coming from every section.
And within three years. it is report
ed that he built a Sanitarium of 60
rooms and accumulated a fortune of
a $1,000,000 with more than $2000,00O
in cash.
Or. Anderson had been i'll for
more than six months but was up
and seemed to be on the road to
recovery when he suddenly became
worse, passing away in a few min
utes.

SENATOR WILLIAMS BALKS Gle
MENCY FOR SOLDIERS.
Says He Is Opposed to Rehearing Of
9th Infantry Case Wanted
Death Penalty.

Leayenworth, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE
efforts to gain hearing for the forty
soldiers, former members Of the oath
Infantry, who mutinied at Houston,
Texas, August 1917, have received
a setback, as far as Senator John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi has a
voice in the case. The resolution
addressed to the President for gem
eral amnesty for all military pris-
oDers confined at the federal peni-
Tertiary here has been made public
by the warden of that institution,
who consented to present the claims
of the prisoners to official sources at
Washington. Several senator's and
representatives have expressed them
selves as willing to recommend Gle
mency in cases that warrant re-
consideration.
In a communication to Benjamin
Mcdaniel, one of the unfortunate
soldiers now in prison, Senator Will
liams says:
I'm my own private opinion, in
stead of having been sent to the
penitentiary for life, you people who
took advantage of the fact that you
were i'll the United States army and
had guns and munitions and under
took to terrorize the city of Hous-
ton, ought, every one of you, to have
been put to death / shall certain
ly not ask clemency for you or any
of the balance Of the crowd"

GERMAN COLONIES FOR NEGROES
PROPOSED.
ASSOCIATED Negro Press

Washington, d. c., Dec 11.-Vol-
untary emigration of the Negroes of
this country to the former German
colonies in Africa, where they would
have greater opportunity that in
this country but would still remain
under the American Flag, is believed
by Senator Joseph l. France of Mary
land, 70 be not only a possibility but
a probability, if the United States
will take those colonies.
Mr.. France prepared reservation
to the peace treaty, under which
the United States would take over
the colonies as her one-fifth of the
German overseas possessions which
he says, is granted this country by
the treaty. He would have the form
er German colonies developed under
the tutilege Of the United States and
opened up as lands of opportunity
for the educated Negroes of this
country.
THE educated Negroes, made am
bilious by education, but held down
more or less in this country, would
turn to these African colonies as
lands where the fullest opportunities
for their abilities would be OPEN"
said Senator France today. II think
they would desire to go there as fast
as we educated them. In time /
think there is no question that all
of our Negroes would go there.

PESSOA STANDS FOR
RACE EQUALITY
President of Brazil States How He
Voted at Peace Conference.

Rio Janeiro, Dec. 11.-Dr. EpitaciO
Pessoa, president of Brazil and form
er chairman of the Brazilian dele
cation, today in public statement
said that as head Of the Brazilian
delegation he always had voted in
favor of the recognition of the equal
ity Of races when the question came
up before the league of nations COM
mittee.
DIR. Pessoa asserted that he had
been guided in this matter solely by
>respect for the democratic traditions
Of hic country and his own senti-
ments, which always had been above
race prejudice.
The state was the outcome Of a
renewal of reports current in the
early days of the peace congress that
DR.. Pessoa favored President Will
sons policy of non-recognition Of the
equality of races, and voted in favor
of equality only upon the insistence
of other members of the Brazilian
delegation.

ROGER WILLIAMS THRIFT CLUB
STILL ACTIVE.

The true patriotism of Roger Will
liams University, Nashville, Tenn,
is shown by the fact that the Thrift
club, a general student organization
formed for war work, is not only
still active, but has grown to be
one of the leading clubs of the Uni
versity.
The Thrift club gave its annual
banquet Thanksgiving evening and
had as guests a large number of
the alumni The reception rooms
were filled with members of the
faculty, alumni, students and their
friends from Walden, Normal, and
Meharry. The college colors, pur-
pie and white were prominent thro-
ughout the color scheme and the
Roger spirit pervaded all. This BAN
quet was truly the affair of the
season.
The problems of reconstruction
make up the main theme of the lit
erAry programs Of the present month.

ton and sentiment with reference to
changes which should be made in
our system of weights and measures,
we advise you at this time that the
result of a referendum taken among
