PACIFIC ISLAND GARDEN
SPOT

With the shifting of ownership that
has taken place among the Islands Of
the Pacific and the growing impOr-
lance of that great body Of water in
international affairs, the holdings Of
the various nations In the Pacific are
taking on e value. One Of the most
important of the French Pacific pos
sessions Is Tahiti, or the Society Is
lands, with steamship connection TO
San Francisco and New Zealand.
They are described in the following
communication to the National Geo
graphic society from II. W. Smith:
Like the Samoans, the Society Is
lands are Of volcanic origin, rising

to 1900 feet, while the highest peak.

reaches an altitude of 1900 feet!
"Near Papeete the beautiful Fa-
tauua valley may be visited In an
afternoon. For a good part Of the
way a carriage road leads up the val
ley, offering changing vlstas.

wild 'taro' growing by the roadside;
the young leaves are delicious boiled,

"In Tahiti, as well as in most Of
the South Sea Islands, great numbers
of %coconuts are grown. The meat, al
ter being dried into copra, Is shipped
In large quantities to Europe. We

methods Of gathering the nuts In va

climb the trees with the help of a
strip of green, fbrous bark torn on
the stem Of q hibiscus tree. After

SYLVESTER ASSURES JUSTICE TIC
NEGRO.
Citizens of Georgia Town Take Action
In Giddens Case.

Sylvester, Ca, Feb. 24.-Citizens Of
Sylvester and Worth county at Q
mass meeting last night unanimously
adopted a resolution addressed to
Gov. McCray of Indiana, condemning
mob violence and disregard of law
and assuring the governor that II
Mace Giddens, Negro, held in that
state for killing of deputy sheriff in
Worth county, is returned to Georgia
he will be given every protection and
a speedy, fair and impartial trial.
w. A. Guthrie, a citizen of Indiana
who was sent by Governor McCray
to Georgia to investigate conditions
in Worth county, before making a de-
cision as to granting extradition OF
Giddens was presented at the mass
meeting and was handed a copy OF
the resolution.
At a hearing before the Indiana
governor last week, when Worth
county officers accompanied by an
attorney, went to that state with
requdsition papers for the Negro, the
governor stated that he would with
hold his decision until he could send
committee to Georgia to Investigate
conditions, the Negroes attorney, en-
ployed in Indiana, having asserted
that their client would be in danger
of lynch law if returned to his state.
The governor stated that if his in

lection and a fair trial he would at
once deliver him over to the Georgia

NEGRO MOVEMENT NORTHwARD.

New York. N. Y, Feb. 24.-Recent
estimates place the number of Ne
groes who have migrated from the
South to the North during the past
three years at approximately hall
a million. Whether the census will
confirm these figures remains to be
seen, but the fragmentary reports
already given out Justify the belief
that they are not exaggerated
The causes assigned for this move
ment are various-the locating of
camps for Negro troops IN the North.
higher wages, better social and in
dustrial conditions, better educational
opportunities, the fact that here and
there is no racial discrimination at
the polls. Whatever facts underlie
this great migration, it will neces-
sayily affect both sectional and ma
tional life in one way or another.
The shifting OF so large a body Of
people from one section must have
its results in that section. Racial
differences have kept these people
distinct in their late home. They
may work to hinder the rapid ANAL
gamaton with the rest of the pop
ulation in their future habitat. The
wider dispersal of the .!Colored pc
pie through the country cannot be
plotted out in its results, but what
ever they are they will doubtless
touch social and industrial life in
many points.
The Southern planters complain
that the migration has already
brought on labor shortage and
consequent slowing up of the pro
ducHon of sugar, rice. cotton and
corn. If the emigration gains in mo-
mentum, they say. the area under
cultivation in the South must be
seriously curtailed. That the with
drawal of large part of the Negro
population into other sections in
creases white preponderance in the
South and makes the so-called race
problem less acute is but incomplete
consolation.
Those of the Colored people that
come North advance rapidly under
the stimulus of wider opportunities
and better educational facilities. For
those OF the race who remain in the
South the reduction of uncomfortable
local numbers may be wholesome.
That the movement should lessen
agricultural production in unfortu-
nate. Some of the beneficial effects
of the migration may at all events
outlast the disadvantages.

cuse; they are in reality enemies of
the State, preaching the gospel OF
hatred against millions of their fell
low beings.
1t is worth while speaking of this
movement in a Canadian publication
because Of the unfortunate tendency
that exists in English-spealning pro-
vinces to copy all the half-baked
ideas in the way Of legislation and
organization which crop UP IN the
United States. In a country lake
Canada, sharply divided in creed, and
the home of many races. the agitator
can find many prejudices to feed on
Undoubtedly II the movement makes
any Roadway in the Northern States,
we shall presently find It bubbling
over in Canada, as further menace
to good feeling and good government.

ALFRED Il. WHITE: FRIEND TO
NEGROES.
Tribute by j. L. Gregg, r. r. Notion
and F. G. Peabody Delivered al
Hampton.

Hampton, Va, Feb. 24-The SER
vices to Negro education rendered by
the late Alfred T. White Of Brooklyn
were recently described in some de-
tail and with genuine thankfulness
during the Founders Day services
held at Hampton Institute.
DR.. James B. Gregg, principal OF
Hampton Institute, said: zone is con-
tinually discovering how many there
who have given, not only of their
money, not only themselves with their
strength, but who have given them
selves with their gifts in order that
Hampton might have the more to give
to others. One of these friends, Mr..
Alfred T. White, has just passed out
of the sight of those of us who are
still on earth. Mr.. White was an old,
trusted, tried, ever loyal and devoted
friend of Hampton Institute, of Tus-
kegee Institute, and of other schools
and of many, many worthy cases.
DR.. Robert r. Motion, principal of
Tuskegee Institute, said: "Mr. Alfred
II. White has been from the very be-
ginning one of DR.. Washington's
warmest and most helpful friends,
and he had transferred that friend
ship to DR.. Washington's successor
at Tuskegee.
II went to see Mr.. White a few
weeks ago to pay to him my respects.
Mr.. White insisted on my remaining
for perhaps half an hour. He asked
about many things at Tuskegee In
stitute-minute details Of the work
ing of the school; whether the stu
dents. were happy and comfortable;
whether the teachers were happy;
and he asked what he could do A
father could not have asked any
more intimate and sympathetic ques-
lions in relation to a school or to his
own children than did Mr.. Alfred T.
White.
"One of the handsomest buildings
at Tuskegee, the principal girls DOM
tory, is named White HALL 1t was
given by Mr.. White and his sisters
as a memorial to a brother, Mr..
Joseph White. After the building was
finished, Mr.. White did not like it
because he thought it was a little
too squatty, SO he added tower IN

"Mr. White, as / was leaving, asked
me about our group of Trades Build

the cost and whether we had all the
money that we needed to complete
the buildings as we had planned
them. He said to me: Major,

PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO.

ChamberBDurg, Pa, FEB. 24-It is

since emancipation of the Colored

hardly anything to compare with the
progress of the American Negro. An
article in the current nunaber Of the

'siitilte one-seventh Of the working
force of the country. OF the 5000, 200

HOWARD UNIVERSITY PLAYERS
WIN APPLAUSE IN TWO PLAYS.
Students Exhibit Unusual Talent In
Staging ~The Tents OF the Arabs"
and "SimOn, the Cyrenian."

Washington, d. G. Feb. 24.-Fol-
lowers of the drama in Washington
witnessed an unusual production last
week when two plays were given at
the Minor Normal School by the
Howard Players, under the auspices
Of the Department of Dramatic Art
Of Howard University, the program
including "The Tents of the Arabs, >
by Lord Dunsany, and Simon, the
Cyrenian," by Ridgley Terrence.
Trained under the direction of Mrs.
Marie Moore Forrest, the students
who made up the cast Of the two
plays displayed dramatic talent that
would earn the respect of the most
critical. Lord Dunsany's play in two
acts, is fanciful thing, representing
the longings of an oriental king for
the wide wastes of the desert, which
eventually becomes so strong that
he forsakes his throne. abandoning
it to the camel driver, who Is am
bilious to be king. 1t is an ambi-
tious production that would tax the
dramatic powers of an Otis Skinner,
but John H. BroadnaX as the king,
and Miss Stella Skinner, as the gyp-
sy maid of the desert, won unstinted
plause. The leading female part was
an emotional actress Of splendid
ability. A specially dance of merit
was given by Misses Ottie Graham,
Sadye Spence and Eltinge Holmes.
The play by Ridgley Terrence is
the story of the man who helped the
Lord bear the cross to Calvary when
He fell beneath its weight. The title
role was taken by Purvis ]. Chesson,
whose Interpretation of the barbarian,
touched and tanned by the sight of
divine suffering, brought repeated ap-
plause. Theleading female part was
that of Pilates wife, taken by Miss
Helen l.. Webb, while Miss Ottie
Graham was seen as Acte, the Prin-
cess Of Egypt, who yainly sought to
dissuade Simon from going to the
aid of the Nazarene The entire cast
included twenty-three players, each
of whom showed the results of care
full application and training.
The rich and beautiful stage set

made in the Howard Dramatic work
SHOp ny tu6 SluuSulS, luSluSSlNtSI VII
der the supervision of Cleon Throck-
morton, of the Provincetown Players,

added much to the success of the
program.

sentation on March 31st and April
LIST and End, of Eugene O'Neil's play,
"The Emperor JONES' now playing
in New York with Charles Gilpin of
the Broadway Company in the title
role. Mr. Gilpin has promised to
come to Washington and appear in
the title role with the Howard Play
ers. It will be an occasion of dra-
matte Importance and will afford the
only opportunity to see the play in
Washington this season.
