Washington; D. C-More than a
thousand persons attended the meeting
OF the National Association for the Adj
vancement of aColored People held in
the Metropolitan Baptist church, at
which meeting james Weldon Johnson
spoke on HThe Haytian Atrocities.
Mr.. johnson gave first hand informa-
ton, having made careful study OF
the situation while he was on the is
land. It will be noted that a court Of
inquiry appointed by the secretary of
the navy to investigate charges which
have been made in connection with the
American occupation Of the island will
probably leave Washington for Haiti
in the near future. Major Jesse +. Dy-
er, United States Marine corps, stated
that he had contemplated calling the
Rev. Tom l.. Evans, Baptist MISSION
ary, as a witness, but the Rev. Mr..
Evans is alleged to have since stated
that he had no personal knowledge OF
instances Of ill treatment of the natives
by Americans Of the expedltionary
forces in Haiti, bat that he would fur
nish the court list of the names of
the persons who had supplied him with
the information.
AS a result of the effort Of the new
superintendent, DR.. Frank O. Ballou,
to have the best possible school condi-
lions obtain in the city, it is stated that
serious conditions of overcrowding are
tolerated in the 1ucretia Mott building
(colored). The building although OF
recent construction and the largest col
ored grade school in the system is found
to be lacking in several particulars. The
building was erected to accommodate
600 pupils, there are more than twice
that number crowded therein.

BIG MUSICAL SHOW COMING.
Famous Marcus Show Of 1920 En- Route
From Pacific Coast to New York


The biggest musical attraction that
has invaded the west since pre-war
days is now en- route from San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles to New York.
Theatre goers in this section will have
an opportunity to see this attraction,
the Marcus Show of 1920, during it's
en- gagement in Des Moines at the Ber-
chel theatre for three days starting
Thanksgiving day, matinee, November
25th.
There are nearly one hundred per-
sons engaged. Many of these are the.
famous Marcus Peaches. There is a
special orchestra and it requires spe-
cial train Of three baggage cars and
an equal number of Pullmans to trans
port the big organization.
Not in years has an attraction made
such an unqualified hit on the coast as
that enjoyed by the Marcus Show. But
few cities are being visited between
the coast and New York where the
Marcus Show inaugurates it's metropol-
itan engagement early next month.
In commenting on the attraction the
San Francisco Examiner of September
81, had the following to say:
I" A musical revue with a sort of in
door circus tone and liveliness of ac-
tion, the Marcus Show of 1920, won the
approval of an audience that last night

Girls, gorgeous costumes and agree
able comedy are the features, and
though it seems to have been the inten-
tion of the producers to give an adj
vance impression that the show might
engage the attention of the censor, if
such an official still be among us, there
was nothing to seriously warrant objec-
ton.

charges. There must be sixty or seven
ty people in the company being Klaw

Really, it is an astonishing show
that of Marcus, 1920.
After all, the girls and costumes,
with the vivid and artistic lighting eff
fects and stage pictures, such as The
Birth of Venus, are what lend import
ance to the show. The costumes GER
tainly are daring, and the girls have
to be to wear them.o

Around this level the selling pressure became quite gen eral.
