CON NFERS WITH
PRESIDENT
Henry Lincoln Johnson, Re
jected Nominee, Calls
at White House.

Washington, d. C.-Henry Lincoln
Johnson, republican national commit
teeman of Georgia, who recently failed
to confirmation after having been
named by President Harding for re-
corder of deeds for the District of Co
lumbia, was in conference with the
latter at the White House for fifteen
minutes. Following the interview, Mr..
johnson declined to comment upon the
action of the Senate and also to an
swer questions to the effect that he
was a candidate for another federal
position.
Mr.. Johnson made it very plain,
however, that he has no intentions of
retiring from active politics and inti-
mated that he would continue to serve
as national committeeman from his
state.
According to White House informa-
ton, the President has made no deci-
sion regarding the selection of re-
corder of deeds for the city, although
he has received applications and in
dorsementS from Il number of persons
in this city and elsewhere.

the loss, although staggering, was not
altogether discouraging and that
steps would he taken to Immediately
rebuild and take care of the situation.
Miss Halle Q. Brown spoke touching
ly of the passing of Shorter Hall,
which meant so much in the hopes
and aspirations of men and women
scattered throughout the wor d.
Chaplain Stewart offered the first
one hundred dollars toward the
rebuilding of the edifice, and he was
quickly followed by promise of five
hundred dollars from Bishop Jones,
hundred dollars each from Presi-
dent Gregg and Dean Jones; and Miss
Halle Q. Brown, who went to Eng
land and secured over fifteen thou
sand dollars on Emery Hall, promised
to raise one thousand dollars toward
the fund All members of the faculty
have pledged their support toward the
fund.
A very vigorous campaign for funds
will be started, and although a goal
has not been determined, President
Gregg estimates that at least two hun
dred thousand dollars will have to be
raised at once. The friends of the
community have very kindly helped in
housing the boys, but this gives only
temporary relief, and President Gregg
calls upon the alumni and friends of
Wilberforce and those who are inter
ested in the development of Negro
youth, to send in gifts for the purpose
of raising the funds required. Now
is the time, if ever, that the public
has the opportunity to give aid to Il
worthy cause. Contribution in any
amount will be gladly accepted and
receipted by Secretary G. G. jenkins,
and the money set aside for this spe-
cial fund. The building must be
started at once in order to be ready
for occupancy by the opening of
school for the next scholastic year in
October.
How strange that just a little over
week before the bell which had
been calling students for over fifty
years, should have tolled the requiem
of Dr. Thomas II. Jackson, the last
of the first three graduates of Will
berforce, and then as Miss Brown
puts it, tolled the knell of the edifice
where it had hung since the compile
tion of the building, following the de-
struction by fire of the original plant
on the night of the assassination of
President Lincoln, during the presi-
dency of Bishop ID. A. Payne. And as
Bishop Payne said, while looking
upon the ashes of the old structure,
SIT went down wood, but it shall go
up brick and stone," may we not say
that out of the ashes of the old shall
rise Phoenix-like structure that
shall exemplify the hopes and aspira-
tions of the race in its ceaseless
struggle for the very best in the new
age that is now upon us.

Negro Rewarded by
Postmaster General

Washington, d. C.-Postmaster Cen
eral Hays recently sent check for
$500 to Walter Ambrose, the colored
mail messenger at Lake Charles, La,
who, single handed, fought off mail
bandits, and in doing so was shot
through the stomach. Despite his
wounds the plucky mail messenger
pursued the robbers some distance, fir
ing four shots at them and then deliV-
cred the mail to the train intact.
The law does not provide for the
reward unless there is Il capture, ar
rest and conviction of the robber, but
in recognition of special and meritori-
GUS services rendered and information
furnished that may be of material as
sistance in the apprehension and CON
viction of the offenders, Postmaster
General Hays has found way to ten
der this amount and he expresses re-
gret that larger amount cannot be
paid.

in Harvard, and sought by other lead
ing American universities. DIR. Jones
holds doctors degree from the Uni

book of one hundred forty pages con-
cerning the philosophy of Lotze and

The work, originally written in Ger

of America, and at the present time
there is copy of it in the Harvard
library that may not be taken out.
Boston University is one of the in
stitutions that are seeking to use DIR.
Jones' book, as well as to translate it.
In writing to DIR. Jones, the university
expressed its appreciation of the
depth and scope of the work, and also
expressed the hope that DR.. Jones
may soon take his proper place beside
other great American scholars.
Dr. Jones is one of the few Ameri-
cans, and the only American Negro to
receive the degree of doctor of philos-
ophy from a foreign university. He is
the author of several other textbooks,
and is one of the greatest students of
philosophy in America today.

A Reason for

to awaken and stimulate race pride.

more for Pythianism than any other
member of the organization, and

From an investigation ON the part

fire must have started from defective
wiring in the attic of the north wing
of the building. The fire was discov-

service which was conducted at Gal

campus.
President ]. A. Gregg, who con-
Quoted the prayer meeting, and Secre-

was sounded. They directed the few

by Superintendent Berry, Bishop J. III.

there been adequate fire-fighting ap-

have been saved. Appeals for help

of departments, was able to plan on
the housing of students and the care

Building and Loan

During these thirty-two years of the
existence of the Peoples Building and
Loan Association of Hampton, Va, it
is safe to say that it has been the
means of providing more than four
hundred homes for the colored people;
it has also saved very large number
of homes by taking over the mort
cages upon them and allowing the
debtors longer and easier terms of
payment.
To give some idea of its standing,
