MRS. KNEEDLER TELLS.
OF THE PHILIPPINES

Mrs. II. D. Kneedler, wife of Man
lila, p. l., physician, who is here visit
ing her sister, Mrs. j. r. Edgar, and
family, is of the opinion that America
will never relinquish protectorate, at
least, of the Philippine Islands. Much
| talk is heard and newspaper stories
read, Mrs Kneedler says, of Philip
pine independence. She believes, how
ever, that the conservative citizenry of
the Islands, comprising the real sub
stantial population, while no open
movement is being made to oppose
| independence propaganda, Is really
sincerely desirous that America retain
a protectorate. The thinking people of
the Philippines. both American and
Filipinos, she declares, realize that
America must remain in control of the
situation to prevent aggression of Jap
an. She avows that the feeling is
general that Japan would not wait two
weeks for aggressive tactics. should
America relinquish the Islands.
"The present administration, or an
other for that matter" Mrs. Kneedler
says. will never give the Philippines
unlimited independence. In the first
place, America realizes that such a
course cannot be safely pursued. Even
if America were willing France and
England would not permit an abandon
ment Of the Islands. "
At present, however, she states. the
only authoritative American in the
Philippines is the governor general.
All lesser offices are held by natives.
The result, she says, is anything but
satisfactory from the standpoint of
residence there. Sanitation is dropping
back to the careless ways of the old
Spanish administration. Good roads
that the Americans built and improved
are going to pieces. The Kneedler
family has decided to return to the
States to live, on account of sanitation
and to educate their children. Since
her arrival here Mrs. Kneedler has re-
ceived a cablegram from her husband
announcing sale of residence property
and that he will sail for home in Janu
ary.
While the older American population
of the Islands is thinning out Mrs.
Kneedler says the arrival Of newcom
ers has brought the white population
to a record point. American business
is making strong bids for Island busi
ness, and most of the new arrivals at
Manila and other points are represent
atives of American business houses.
!. Mrs. Kneedler says the recent con-
gressional committee. which went on a |
junket to the Philippine Islands learn
ed only what otficialdom there desired
that they learn. The congressman,
by their wives and fam
lilies, had an enjoyable vacation, and
everything was done for
their entertainment, but they were
shown only the things that would inn
press them as favorable to the officials.
she says, who were known
to be the least unsympathetic were not |
allowed places on committees Of enter
tainment and were prevented from
getting at the ear of the congressional
junketers.
On the arrival of DIR. Kneedler, Mrs.
who is accompanied by her
will join him. They expect
to make their home in San Diego, Cal.

Autumn COlOrs Appear

While no killing frosts have pre-
vailed on the lower levels, foliage of
vine naples, dog wood and Oregon
grape on the Columbia bluffs is rapidly
taking on the tints of fall. The bare
ranges on the Washington side, as a
result of the recent rains, have grown
as green as springtime. The inter-

the green of the open spaces and the
various tints of autumn leaves now re-
suit in many appealing views from

self alone. but for two million and a
half Negro Baptists who stood for
principles and whose record of ac-
hieyempnt has no parallel among the
religions forces of the United States.
In spite of all that has been said
and done, we rejoice that we are
able to hand to the Negro Baptists
of these United states a report snow
ing an Increase of more thnn tWlctty-
two thousand dollars oyer any pre-
Nious year during the existence OF the
the plant. Our business has gore
by leaps and bounds and we have in
increased more rapidly since the law
suit was decided in our favor than
heretofore Not even in the earlier
stages of our development or when
there was supposed to be unity in
Baptist ranks was there such phe-
-,ominal growth as is shown by the
fiscal year ending August 81, 1920.
Dr. Royd's report shows the work by
quarters For the quarter OF Sept.

Woman Beaten By Conductor
For Refusing to Give Up
Seat in Car.

Athens. Ga. Sept. 16.-Last SAT-
urday afternoon a white street car
conductor on the Athens Railway and
Electric Companys lines in this city
slapped and choked almost into in
sensi5ility Mrs. Salema Green, one OF
the most highly respected women of
the Race in the South. Mrs. Green
was en- route home and when several
white women boarded the car at one
Of the transfer points. the conductor
demanded that she give her seat to
the white, ladies. Having. paid her
fare. and being in the section of the
car that is allotted for Colored pas
sengers. she refused to move, and she
was slapped and choked until she fell
to the floor of the car. She was told
by the conductor that If she attempted
such tactics again she would be
lynched
The matter was reported to the
officials of the street car system by
leading Negro of the city, but moth
ing was done about 1t.
The conductor is an officer of the
local branch of the Klu Klu Klan
The street car system is owned by

from jail several vars ago and shot

miles from Crawford, Ca, where a

The Negroes are beginning to leave
this sction in large numbers. and in
order to offset the exodus. the whites
have paid a Negro teacher and minis
ter to make speeches in each ward
in the city, and advise the Negroes
to obey the white folk and remain
in Georgia
This same Negro who is the head
of the school system was a delegate
to the recent A. NJ. e. Conference In
st. Louis several weeks ago, and on
his return to Athens made several
ST iceokes u the Negroes telling them
that those who left the South for
Chicago and st. Louis were starving
and ragged--out OF employment and
longing TO return to the South. The
members of his church in Wintervile
Ga, locked the doors OF the church
and refused to permit him to ever
enter the edifice again. This Negro
pastor then appealed to the white
people of the community to force the
trustees to withdraw their action
but to no avail

BLACK and Tan Nominee for Governor
Delivers Red Hot Reply to LiIy-Whites
Who Called Negroes Who Desired to Have

One of the speakers at the Lily
White meeting of September 10th at
their headquarters Is reported by the
Dallas News to have said II am glad
to feel that ! would be able now to
attend a political meeting without
having to sit down by the side of an

norant OF the fact that the next Presl-
dent. Mr.. Harding. the same day en-
tertained at his Home very graciously

Citizens, whom he calls odorous
beasts. Evidently, the speaker don't
know that there are fourteen millions

and nearly half million were In

deus Joseph Van Buckley Rainbow
StarlSey, 25 years old, of 416 West
Thirty-sixth street was held in
$4,000 bail for the action of the Fed
eral Grand Jury last week by United
States Commissioner Hitchcock on
charges alleging the theft of $3.50
worth of postage stamps. Russell P.
Allen, a Post Office inspector who
arrested StarlSey. said the Negro
made a statement which clears up
the mysterious disappearance of $780,
600 worth of railroad securities in the

ties was stolen from the General Post

what it contained they set the bonds
afire. fearing that If they tried to
negotiate them they would be ar
rested.
The bonds were being shipped to
25 Broad street by a Milwaukee,
Wis. banking huuse when they dis
appeared. This theft was one of a
series that had occurred at the Ger
eral Post Office during July, the in
spector said. and a squad of Post

wagons

thorties that two empty mail pouch

titled the pouchs, he said, as ones
that had heer given to Johnson for

lowed. A large quantity of postage
stamps which had been sent to the
Harlem were found on Johnson. the
Inspector declared.
Starkey. in his statement to Mr.
Allen. said the pouches found in the
New Rochelle lake had been given
to him by Johnson to take to the
home of the latter's father in that
city. Instead of taking the pouches
there, the Inspector quoted him as
