METHoDisTs PUSH NEGRO EDu'
CATION DESPITE FINANCIAL
LOSSES.

~ MANAGEMENT and extension OF
X the facilities in the eighteen
- schools and colleges for Negroes
maintained in the South by the Meth0-
dist Episcopal Church, together with
the receipts of 100000 out of the CEN
tenary fund of that denomination, Is
reported I'm the current issue OF the
Christian Advocate, the Methodist
Weekly, by DIR. =. j. Maveety, cores
pondlng secretary of the Methodist
Board of Education for Negroes, sue
cessor to the Freedman's Aid Society.
This statement shows that of the ST.
O75OO0 pledged for Negro education
by the Methodist Centenary for a pc
riod of five years, at the end of the
first year $230,000, over one-fourth the
entire sum has been paid, In spite OF
the fact that the financial depression
has cut down the Centenary collec-
tions to ~ per cent of the sum eN-
pected.
The support given to the cause of
Negro education by the leaders of the
Methodist Episcopal Church thus ex-
ceeds that given to any other of the
many pressing demands upon their
funds which were apportioned on the
basis of complete collection. This
shrinkage has been much appreciated
by the 35O,O 600 Negro Methodists, whose
devotion to their church has been an
outstanding feature of their group and
was recognized in many speeches on
the floor of the quadrennial general
conference at Des Molnes, May 1st,
where two Negro ministers were
elected bishops with full rank and
powers.
The Methodist Board of Education
for Negroes supervises such institu-
tions as Clark University, Atlanta, Ga. ;
George r. Smith College, Sedalia, Mo. /;
Wiley College, Marshall, Texas; Sam
uel Huston College, Austin, Texas
Rust College, Holly Springs, Miss ;

lege, New Orleans, and Bennett Col
lege, Greensboro, n. C. At practically
all of these institutions new buildings
or extensions and repairs are either

ALABAMA MEN SEEK LAWS TO
CURB LYNcHERS.
Junior Chamber of Commerce of Birm-
ineham Is Back of 1t.

Birmingham, Ala, March 5.-The
Junior Chamber of Commerce of Birm-
ingham has instituted statewide
campaign to back its request that the
governor include in his call for the
special session of the State Legislature
consideration of bill that would pro-
vide automatically for the impeach-
ment of sheriffs who permit prisoners
to be taken from them by mobs.
The mere fact that a prisoner has
been taken from a sheriff will be con-
sidered prima facie evidence of neglect
of duty on the part of the officer, who
would be removed from office, under
the bill, unless he could prove that he
had resisted the mob to the fullest eX-
tent of his ability. The officer also
would be required to show that he had
taken all possible precautions in pro-
tecting his prisoner.
"The history of lynchings in Ala
bama," SAYS a. resolution adopted by
the chamber, SHOWS that in few cases
have sheriffs taken extraordinary pre-
cautions to safeguard their prisoners,
even where the excited state OF the
public mind indicated they were
needed. In the great majority OF cases
this can be construed only as cow
ardice. incompetence or willful neglect
of duty"
A delegation from the chamber, COM
posed of young business men of Birm-
ingham, will go to Montgomery to
press their demands for anti-lynching
legislation. The unusual agitation
over mob violence is caused by the
lynching of a miner, William Baird,
which has thrown the entire mine dis
trict into confusion. Members of the
Alabama national guard are accused
of the crime.

HONOR FOR CANADA
Wins Championships at Interna-
tional Live Stock Show.
Splendid Exhibits, Both Of Animals
and Grain, Won Admiration Of
Judges and Spectators.

One Of the most interesting sights
at the International Live Stock show
at Chicago was the evening parades
Of horses and cattle. As the Cana.
dian section Of these parades came In
to view, and a. II passed around the
ring. there was continued applause.
There were two or three reasons for
this, the principal one being that In
this section there were the wonderful
Clydesdales, the Belgians and the Per
cherons that had carried off champion
ships and first prizes. The province
Of Saskatchewan had a splendid dis
play Of Clydesdales and showed In a
number Of classes, and in every class
they got In the money. A remarkable
and noted winning was that Of the
University Of Saskatchewan, showing
Lady Bruce" female Clydesdale. In
q class Of "a and taking second. In
competition there were entries from
such famous studs as Conyngham Bros.
Of Wilkesbarre, r. L. James Of Easton,
Mass, and George Chiett Of the same
state. She was beaten by an imported
mare, but was later made champion
American-bred mare and reserve
grand champion, an honor never before
conferred upon anything but an i'm
ported animal.
The following are some Of the good
things that Canada won at the Inter-
national, In fair fight and no favors.
Grand championship for Clydesdale
stations; championship for American
bred Clydesdale mares; reserve senior
and reserve grand championships for
Clydesdale mares; grand champion
ship for Southdown sheep; sweepstakes
grand championship for wheat for the
continent Of America; championship
for Durum wheat for America.
Another Of the reasons for the ap-
plause given the Canadian sections Of
the parade was the heartiness with
which the American spirit was imbued
that impelled It to greet with the full
est appreciation the efforts Of the win
ner. and the hundreds Of Canadians In
