Madden, at Police Headquarters to
day. denied he had made an incen-
diary speech. He said his address
was the same he made Sept 10 al
a meeting of Negroes in the Coliseum
in the presence of several policemen
who did not interfere at that time
His speech, he said. was solely in
the interest of his plan to COLOMBO
Negroes in Texas and Mexico and his
only reference to the Government was
his assertion that there is nothing
in the Constitution which specifically
gives citizenship to the Negro and
that therefore the Negroes can only
work out their destiny by segrega-
ting in a separate state.
A number of persons interviewed
who were near the speaker, state
that no remarks were made which
could be construed as being inflam-
matory. No charge was placed
against the prisoners and all were
discharged but Madden, who was
turned over to the Federal authori-
ties.

ment by the I. W. W., to arouse Col
ored people to disorder.

Colored country schools through the
aid of the Rosenwald fund has much
to do with the sentiment behind this
appropriation. These Rosenwald
schools are found in every southern
state; and the increasing sums given
them by the states, by local white
friends, and by the Negroes them
selves, show their values as esti-
mated by both races. Mr.. Rosenwald
has given to date $4,000; the states
have added $354,000 from public
funds; white friends have given To-
cally $8S,500; and the Negroes have
given $443,000 a total for school
buildings in excess of ordinary ap-
preparations of $1,197 500. Where
these funds are given heightened
terms and better teachers are neces-
sary.
Care is taken, through the improv-
ed force, to connect the school close
ly with the home life of the COM
munity. Tuskegee reports that the
effect of these schools is to deter
migration to cities.

No. IA, by the adoption of which the
United States would renounce her
interest in the vast dominions, title
to which Germany renounces to the
principal Allied ad associated powers,
under Articles 119 to 127 inclusive
Surely so important an action as the
adoption of this reservation should
not be taken without full and free
discussion, and l believe that the
masses of the people would unquali-
fiedly condemn those favoring cloture
If they knew the vastness of the is
sues involved in this reservation.
Germany was great empire, her
colonial possessions and her spheres
of influence embracing an area of
1,484,944 square miles, an area ap-
proXimately one-half of the total
area of the United States, a one-fifth
interest in which is vested in the
United States under Article 119.
I'm view of the heavy indebted
ness of the Allied and associated
powers to the United States, if there
is to be any remuneration of inter-
est in this vast territory it should
| be by them to the United States,
rather than by the United States to
them. This vast territory is located
in Asia, Africa and Oceania, the Ger
man island possessions alone, par
ticularly those Of the equator, being,
because of their strategic Importance,
of great possible value to the United
States, and an asset which should

Of the war, including loans to the

100000 and in view of this the Sen
ate should not without due deliber-
alton sign away our interest in the

large population of African descent,
is the nation best fitted to administer
