PRESIDENT INTERVIEWS IN
CASE OF SOLDIER.
Convicted of Killing Conductor.

Montgomery, Ala, March Biased
on urgent telegraphic requests from
various citizens of Chicago, President
Wilson requested Gov. Thomas E. Kill
by by letter to grant a reprieve to
Sergt. Edgar Caldwell, a colored SOL
dier, who was sentenced to be hanged
at Admission last week for the murder
of Cecil Linton, a conductor on an An
niston street car. The President in
conclusion wrote:
I'm view of the fact that this man
was soldier of the United States,
would you not be willing to grant Il
brief respite in order that the attor-
ney general, at my request, may exam
inc the records in the case?"
Arrival of the Presidents request
had been preceded by an appeal on the
part of Caldwell's attorneys to the
State Supreme Court, which automat-
ically granted him a reprieve, and the
President was so informed by the gov
ernor.

CHURCHES DEMAND JUSTICE.

Atlanta, Ga, March 10.-That the
white South is awakening to the needs
and demands of the hour is. attested
by the momentous conference of white
churches which has been in session in
this city. DR.. g. B. Wilmer in an ad-
dress demanding justice for the Negro,
declared that it should be given with
out "camouflaging behind lot of gilt
tering generalities." Among the things
that these white people will throw
their influence behind to encourage
are: Justice in courts, better living
conditions, educational opportunities
extended and courteous, clean travel
ing accommodations.

10000 CITIZENS ASK FOR NEGRO
TEACHERS.

Richmond, Va, March 19.-Colored
citizens of Richmond, to the number of
about 10000, have signed a petition
asking that members of their race be
appointed principals and special teach
ers in the schools here This petition
will be presented through the superin-
tendent of city schools to the school
board at an early date.
The petitioners state that at present
the principals and special teachers of
the colored schools are white, and that
the present plans work against the
competent young colored teachers that
are graduating from the best schools
every year.
Relief from this, they declare, they
have time and again asked of the,
white people of the city.

WHITE WATERS PICKET
AGAINST coLoRED ONES

Washington, D. C.-White walters,
most of them foreigners, with their
wives and children, are picketing the
Raleigh hotel and calling the attention
of passersby to the fact that they have
been displaced by colored walters
there. The presence of the colored
walters is due to a recent strike in
consequence of which the union wait
ers in the various houses walked out
because they could not make suitable
terms.
The Raleigh was among the hotels
which declined to accede to the de-
mands of the striking walters, and re-
cruited a full crew of colored walters
here and in New York City, returning
to the custom of several years ago
when colored walters We're employed
exclusively by the Raleigh and other
leading hostelries. The colored wait
ers are under the supervision of
George d. Johnson of New York and
are giving satisfaction.
1t is to be regretted that such
thing was necessary, for the colored
waiter wants the same rate of wages,
working hours and conditions that the
white waiter wants, and the white
unions should be more sympathetic in
their dealings with the colored bro

ence Each school will have appropri-
ate subdivisions. Thus, it will be seen
that President Durkee has enlarged
the scope of the institution by adding
four schools to the six which already
existed.
In order that the university may
take its proper place among the high
er institutions of learning, and to con-
centrate its energies on real university
training, the secondary work done by
the academy and commercial school
will be discontinued at the end of the
preseny year Ills e&pected that ths
work of the academy can be turned
over to some other institution, with
adequate facilities. The work of the
commercial school is to be raised to
a college grade in the new school of
commerce and finance, leading to
degree and giving worthwhile busi-
ness education that will be in keeping
with the modern requirements of the
commercial world. A military unit for
instruction in military science and tao
tics has been authorized by the War
Department, and this will offer anoth-
er avenue for useful training for
health and discipline A fine gym
nasium and athletic field are to be
provided, and a University Press is to
be developed. A summer school is al
so among the many new features to
be introduced. Glasses will be main
tanned at a full roster and no time
will be wasted on doubtful experiment
tation with classes below the normal
standard. To recruit the school mem
bership a system of alloting scholar
ships to accredited secondary schools
in generous measure will be adopted,
and many excellent schools giving
limited training, will serve as valuable
feeders to the university. 1t VIII
thus be seen that the university idea
is brought to q high level, and that
the essential secondary work of our
youth is not endangered. On the con-
trary, it will be strengthened.
New Offices Created and Promotion
System Adopted.
Three new offices are created un-
der the new system, the necessity for
which has long been recognized. These
are a dean of men, dean of women
and registrar. Their duties are self
explanatory and their services Will
bring a helpful impetus into the life
of the school, The morale of the
teaching force will be vitality improved
by much-needed definite system of
promotion. Upon the recommendation
of DR.. Durkee a graduated scale Of
salaries has been adopted, with auto
matte increases and advancement in
rank, as an incentive for greater eff
ficiency, stricter moral character and
heartier cooperation in the ideals for
which the school stands, for upon
these qualities retention and promo
ton are based. Teachers are thus en-
abled to go at their work with cheer
fulness, assurance and greater single
ness of purpose than ever before.
Preference Given to Equipped Teach
ers Of the Negro Race.
It may be stated here, with all pos
sible emphasis, that there is not

nature have been formu-
lated by DR.. ]. Stanley
Durkee, the new and pro-
cressive president of Howard Univer-
sity, that will establish at the nations
capital a truly effective instrumental
ity for the higher education of the Ne
gro.
A comprehensive program was an
nounced at recent meeting or the
board of trustees and unanimously
adopted b. til a. body, which is TO be
put into execution during the coming
year Positive steps have been taken
to build on historic Howard Hill a
"Greater Howard University" expand
ing and vitalizing the lofty purpose,
conceived more than half a century
ago by the immortal. Gen. Oliver U.
Howard to lift the colored millions OF
America to the highest moral and in
tellectual plane and to provide per-
manent agency for the development OF
race LEADERS
A Program Evolutionary and Revolu-
tionary."
"The system 1 have proposed, and
with which the board is in thorough
and sympathetic accord, will be evo-
lutionary and revolutionary" said DIR.
Durkee to q press representative in
recent interview. And, it will be all
that-for DIR. Durkee is a great big
man, with a big brain, who has the
courage and capacity to do big things
in big way.
Since the coming of DR.. Durkee just
a few months ago-at the insistent
call of thoughtful friends of Howard
University, he has given the needs of
the school the closest study and it is
the general feeling that the broad
gauged recommendations he has made
will ultimately meet the demand or
this exacting age of LEADERS-path-
finders in all the complex phases OF
the life of the Negro people. He IS
an intense believer in the efficacy OF
the higher education as a solvent for
many of the problems that perplex the
colored American, and it is his deter
mination to make Howard the eXpon-
ent of the Negroes loftiest aspirations,
Just as Harvard and Yale stand for
the highest intellectual standards or
the other race. Howard, as he sees
it, should become the "Great National
Negro University" in the fullest sense
of the term.
Some Details of President Durkee's
Comprehensive Program.
According to the plan outlined, the
university will be reorganized on the
junior college plan, with senior schools.
After the completion of two years
work in the Junior college the student
will enter one of the senior schools
for special training, along lines OF in
dividual preferment and adaptability'
, The senior schools, as shown on a
carefully-prepared blueprint, will be
composed of schools of medicine, law,
theology, music, applied science, jour-
nalism, commerce and finance, liberal
arts, education and general service

training, and departments of athletics
