CAPITAL INVITES REMOVAL AUBURN
 T0 M0NTCOMER RY
Meeting of Alumni There Re- suits in Proposition to Be Presented to the
 Legislature
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD Montgomery, Ala, Dee.

Montgomery will invite the legisla- ture to move the Alabama Polytech- nic institVte from Auburn to this city and will put into the hands of the state a sufficient sum to cover tion of the property of the institu- tion. This decision was reached at a mass meeting of Montgomery alumni of the institution tonight,
 The vote in favor of inviting the location of the school here came after prominent citizens of Montgomery had spoken of the advantages which will be found here and after a paper was read pledging the financial sup pert of Montgomery to the b1ilding program.
 Leading finaneiers of Montgomery have already signed an agreement guaranteeing the raising of such sum as will replace the buildings and equipment now located at Auburn. A recent appraisal made by the state board of control and economy shows that the states investment at Au- burn is s7S9,375.
 This appraisal was made in the ordinary course of the states bust ness and not with the idea in mind of moving the institution. Only one dissenting vo6e was cast when the time came to obtain an expression of opinion. No one suggester a site, All insisted that the institution should be brought to Montgomery and argued that this city has the facilities, mechanical, agricultural and social. for the development of the polytechnic institute into great institution.
 mn, tir anf cd . the board of trustees -had already been requested to recommend the re- moval of the institution. The invita- ton was signed by the financial in terests which agreed to underwrite, In the name of the people of Mont gomery, the sum whichswill replace the amount invested at Auburn, No reply has been received from the beard.
 2 If the board should recommend the removal of the school the request would be made to the legislature. Under the constitution a vote of two- thirds of the members of each house of the legislature would be neces- sary. The mass meeting was called only for the purpose of obtaining the views of the Montgomery alumni, the idea being that no steps should be taken without the full approval of the Montgomery men who attend ed the school.
 Dr. George Blue was chairman of the meeting. Dr. C. s. Yarbrough. mayor of Auburn, made an address in opposition to the proposal. con tending that dissension among loyal supporters of Auburn would result from agitation and the progress of the institution might be .hampered.

Hampton, Va, March 3.-That Gen

ideal for Negroes was the kind of
education which would enable Colored

in the same world of mind and spirit

Among other things, Mrs. Talbot de-

Negroes should become hard race
not hard like rock, but hard like
the sugar maple tree, which is wound

Certain kinds of education help a

which require both practical applica-

POLITICAL Meeting
BY COLORED PEOPLE
WAS WELL ATTENDED

A mass meeting of the Colored citi-
zens of the city of Phoenix was held
last Friday night at Doris hall and
it was very encouraging to note the
number who presented themselves
and the spirit with which they took
hold of the meeting. The hall was
filled with women and men who had
the best interest of the race at heart.
Attorney William E. Watkins called
the house to order and stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting. His remarks
seemed to have met responsive cord
in the bosom of his hearers.
After listening to Attorney Wat
kins, the body proceeded to organize
and elected Mr. Watkins as perman-
ent chairman; S. w. Ford, vice chair
man; Mrs. A. Stewart, recording Sec
retary; G. S. Rodgers, corresponding
secretary, and Mrs. L. A. Walker,
treasurer. The name selected was,
Progressive League" then the meet
ing was opened for general discussion.
The meeting was political in its
nature and the object as outlined by
Attorneys Watkins and Fortune was
to try and secure better recognition
for the Colored people of Phoenix.
1t was kind of free for all meeting
and some warm campaign speeches
were made. Had it been possible for
the candidates themselves to hear the
arguments pro and con, it would have
proved quite interesting. Friends of
both sides were present and some
cutting remarks were let loose by
several speakers.
Frank Smith, veteran politician Of
the state, made a firery speech in
support of his favored candidates and
was answered by Attorney Robt. l..
Fortune in language that was more
forceful than eloquent. Henry
Davis made a sensible talk that was
well received as also did several
others.
Resolutions were adopted con-
demning individuals of our group who
attempt to sell the race for mess
of porrage. The final meeting of this
league will be held this Friday even
ing in the Monroe school auditorium
when several candidates from both
sides will address the meeting. You
are urged to attend the meeting to-
night and hear from the candidates
own lips what they plan to give in
the way of business administration.
Attend the meeting tonight and hear

MINISTER DEMANDS
INCREASE IN SALARY
OUSTED FROM Church
Especial to The Tribune)

Baltimore, Md, March 3.-An in
junction of the trustees of the Israel
Baptist church, No. 2; secured by the
trustees and members of the church
restraining Rev. E. E. Haskins from
entering the church and denying him
further rights and privileges as pastor
was granted by Judge Stein in cir
cult court yesterday.
The effort of the pastor to have an
injunction issued restraining the
deacons and trustees from locking him
out of the church and seeking to COM
pei them to pay him five hundred
dollars in addition to his enormous
salary, was denied by the court.
The law suit resulted from the eff
forts of the Rev. Haskins to have his
salary increased and at a meeting of
the church, when a very few of the
members were present, he had a sal
ary raise voted him and when news
Of the action was spread among the
general membership, much opposition
resulted. The salary that had been
promised prior to the voted raise was
paid, but the additional amount was
denied and that was what the domi-
neering pastor was contending for
and which resulted in his being GUST
ed from the church pastorate by the
court.

CONDUCTS RATTLE
TO RAISE funds
Especial to The Tribune)

Knoxville, Tenn, March 8. - The
general comment of the conscientious
membership of the Mt. Zion Baptist
church, of which the so-called Rev.
John -"ohenzollern" Henderson is
pastor, during the past week was the
gambling game being conducted by
the pastor and certain of the deacons
of the church in which they are sell
ing chances on a COW and calf to be
ratified off, is the most ridiculous
scheme that has ever been put over
in a Christian church.
Hundreds of members have visited
The News office and expressed them
selves as thoroughly grateful for the
expose of the deploraple condition and
an evidence of the fear on the part
of certain of the conscientious Chris
tian women who go to make up the
membership toward the domineering
pastor Kaiser john" in each in
stance is that they ask that their
names be not mentioned. One woman
came into the office of The News and
stated: There are several members
of the church, like myself, who op-
pose such methods as are employed
by Preacher Henderson, but we are
fearful to oppose his plans, for we
love our church and want to stay
there, and the preacher and his small
crowd of henchmen would throw us
out"
The lady told further Of discrim-
inatioA employed by %Kaiser John"
toward the membership. "Why don't
you know" she stated, REV Hend-
erson goes so far as to hold the fun
eral services of some of the poorer
class of members in the basement of
the church and those of his friends
are taken in the main auditorium.
Last week poor woman died and
greatly to the surprise of the rela-
tives, when they got to the church
Rev. Henderson ordered that the serv-
ices be held in the basement of the
church. Another funeral held later
in the week was held in the auditor
ium."
The deacon who is chief salesman
for the chances on the "fine Jersey
cow and calf" the prize in the raf-
fling game, stated to a News man
me and Rev. Henderson are using
this means Of raising money to build
a flat and store on Patton street.
I'm tired of working now, and I am
going to open a grocery store in the
flat when it is built We connected
the church with the rafting game so
as to get the support of the member
ship"
Another lady, member of the church
stated to a representative of The
News: you didn't hear that they
ratified off hen up at the church not
long ago, did you? Well, they GER
tainly did and l was asked to buy one
of the chances. We are grateful to
you for exposing this deplorable con-
dition. Rev. Henderson may get by
with such unlawful and ridiculous
schemes in the wilds of Louisiana,
from whence he came, but the intelli-
gent and Christian citizenship of Knox
vile will not tolerate such infamous
tactics"
