THE ANTT-I YNC,HIN(i,
BILL Saved, AYERS

The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H.
R. 19, is saved. This was the state
ment of James Weldon johnson, sec
rotary Of National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 20
Fifth avenue, New York. who returned
to New York from Washington on
Friday, Msy 26, after spending a
week fighting for the Dyer bill through
the most critical stage of its existence
During that time an unfavorable
report on the Dyer bill by the judici-
+ary committee of the senate on Mon
day, May %, was narrowly averted,
and the republican leaders Of the
senate were convinced that favorable
action was ABSOLUTELY essential. Dur
ing his week in the national capital,
the N. A. A. C. P. secretary was in
constant conference with Senators
Borah, Lodge, Curtis, Capper, Calder,
Ernst, Shortridge, Sterling, McCor-
mick. Dillingham; and Watson, and
Win representatives Dyer, Burton
and Madden.
AS a result of the secretary's eff
forts, not only has an unfayorable re-
port been averted but the senate ju-
dietary committee on Thursday, May
"a. met and decided to postpone ac-
tion for two weeks during which time
efforts would be devoted to making
the bill absolutely unassailable when
it is brought upon the floor of the
senate.
Senator Borah said to the secretary
before he left Washington that if
there was anything he (senator Bor-
ah) could do to save the life of a
single Negro from mob, he would
do it.

account Of physical disability inci
Especial to The Tribune)
Washington, June 2.-Time pieces
made in Germany are being distri-
buted among the members of both
houses OF congress as an argument
for American valuation plan in con-
nection with the pending tariff bill.
Mrs. Harding has also been the recip-
tent Of one of the watches. The
watch given Mrs. Harding, apparently
a very valuable one, cost S13S after
all duty had been paid. This was be-
cause Of the fact that it was manu-
factured by labor paid in cheap Ger
man money and was imported into
this country and valued on the basis
of deprecated German currency. The
German mark under normal condi-
tions, as in pre-war days, was worth
"a cents. Today it is worth between
one"third and one-half of a cent; and
1t is upon the basis of such depreci-
ated currency that German imports
are valued.

CHAPLAIN SCOTT OF
10th j. S. CAVALRY.
HAS REEN Retired

The following article was published
recently in the IT,. s. Army Bulletin:
eThe retire nent of Chaplain Oscar
J. w Scott tcolored), U, S. Army on
account Of physical disability Incl
dent to the service leaves the 10th
cavalry WITHOUT chaplain. Under
the announced policy of the war de-
parment of making no appointments
of chaplains until the excess occas-
ioned by the reduction of the Army
to 10000 is absorbed, no colored
chaplain will be available to take
Chaplain Scott's place. This will
probably result in n white chaplain
being assigned to duty with the 10th
cavalry. II this is done. the expert
ment will bs watched with interest
for very many officers who have
served with colored regiments have
the belief that the right
kind of a white chaplain could be
eminently successful in serving the
Negro troopss and at the same time
could minister to the white officers
and their families. Some command
ing officers of colored regiments have
recommended that such a
detail be considered. At present the
battalion of the 4th infantry, on duty
at Fort BennI Ing, is having religious
at the hands of white chap
lain, and the results have been very
satisfactory"
Announcement is also made that the
9Th cavalry (colored) will in time
be returned from the Philippines to
Fort Meade, S D.

JACK JOHNSON LOST
FIRST ROUND in HIS
Fight FOR MACHINE
(speeial to The TrISuael

Especial to The Tri5uae)
Indianapolis, Ind, June 2.-John
Arthur (Jack) Johnson sometimes
racer, filler. actor and general nuis-
ance who won fame and fortune
through his activities in the prize
ring few years ago and later gained
notoriety through his efforts to seq
regate himself from his. race, lost the
first round of the legal battle to a
finish against Mr. VIM. Bottoms, Chi
cago cafe owner. who is suing the big
fellow FOR $4,000 alleged to have been
loaned to Johnson when he was in
trouble and dire circumstances.
When the case was called in this
city last Thursday morning, Mrs
Johnson, white wife of the fallen ring
idol, was in the court, having arrived
from New York to file claim that the
car belonged to her. She left the
court room with spirit crushed and
sader but wiser woman. She did
not get the car
The judge ruled that the car would
be turned over to Mrs. Johnson, if she
(Mrs. Johnson) could give bonds to
the extent of $4,000 to guarantee safe
delivery Of car at the time and place
ordered by the judge. Johnson and
wife got busy Immediately to raise
the bond money, but sad to relate not
one in this city thought enough Of the
chance to let the big fellow in to their
treasury to the extent of $4,000. Upon
and failure of Jack and wife to raise
the bond, the Judge then stated that
Mr.. Bottoms could have possession OF
the car by giving bond for its safe
delivery to the court on date to be
set. Mr.. Henry Fleming and friends
of Mr.. Bottoms here Immediately
gave bonds to the extent OF $4,000,
five times in excess of the value Of
the car
Speaking OF the case afterward to a
representative of the National sport
Writer'S Association. Mr.. Flemming
said: Bottoms seems to have the
best of the battle so far, and it is
hoped that this will learn Johnson
that honest debts are to be paid The
days of dead-beats are over and the
quicker he gets this in his head the
better it will be-"

A. NJ. E. BISHOPS TO
MEET in HISTORIC
Bethel NEXT YEAR
Especial to The Tribune)


Columbia, s. c., May 26.-The bish.
ops of the A. NJ. e. church have sell
dom met in church whose erection
carries with it so much of sentiment,
so much historic value to the city,
state or section of the country as is
the case when they meet in Bethel
A. M. E. church next February.
For over thirty years the growth
and progress Of African Methodism
has had its hinderances which, ap.
parently, could not be overcome, and
Bethel came for its full share. A
split in this congregation caused the
loss Of something like one thousand
of its best and strongest members.
It was left to Bishop w D. Chap
pelle who became the presiding bish-
op in the spring of 1916 to get the
kind of man who would set the wheels
of progress in motion. Dr. T. H. Wise
man, a young man with vision and
splendid attainments was brought
from the west (Oklahoma City, Avery
ChapeD and in two months and 16
days the people laid on the table
$7166.50, splendid testimonial for the
pastor and congregation. 1t was then
that New Bethel was assured This
great rally seemed to be an incentive
to greater financial efforts and the
Sunday collections increased SO per
cent which leaped from $25 to $40 to
$125 and it is not an infrequent oc-
currence to raise two hundred on the
first Sunday. 1t is said that the col
lections seldom ever fall under one
hundred. On and on grew the congre-
cation and the collections with it.
There have been more than a thous-
and persons to join the church under
his pastorate and at present the
membership numbers nearly 1900.

Washington. D. c., June 2.-Arriv-

Virgin Islands 4 week ago very mod
est and quite young man dressed in the
uniform of a naval band master ap-
peared in Washington, D. c. This
person was none other than Alton A.
Adams, the only Negro, to our knowl-
edge. holding such a position in the
United States Navy Young Adams
was the leader of boys band when
Uncle Sam took possession of the
former Danish West Indies. and re-
cognizing his ability he was, with his
band ushered in to the service to fur
nish entertainment for the naval sta
tion maintained at St. Thomas.
Rear Admiral Oliver, who was
formerly governor Of the island
thought great deal of Adams and
did much to advance the young man
who is today recognized as one Of the
most efficient in his line. Asidt
most efficient in his line. Aside
is also splendid writer and compos-
er, his contributions to musical mag
a2ines here in America being receiv-
ed in a manner which should give
him good reason to feel proud
Recently he started the st. Thomas
Times, paper which, while devoted
to the activities Of the band and the
naval station, covers news of interest
to the people of the Virgin Islands.
From the copies which came into the
hands Of the writer we are of the
opinion that 1t is the best paper now
being published in the islands, setting
a pace which both the Bulletin and
the Mail Notes find it extremely hard
TO follow After a brief visit to New
Yory City Adams will return to the
Islands to resume his duties.

DYER URGES BLACLS
TO join n. A. A. C.P.

Congressman Leonidas C. Dyer of
Missouri, who introduced the Dyer
Anti-Lynching bill in congress, is
urging colored Americans to join the
N. A. A. c. p, according to the fol-
lowing editorial which was publish
ed in the st. Louis Argus of Friday,
May 70:
"A Timely Advice"
In his address at Union Memorial
church a few nights ago. Congress-
man L. C. Dyer struck the keynote
when he advised the colored people
to Organize" for their own protection
and benefit.
He also told how to organize in order
to be most effective. He pointed to the
National association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, as the one
big organization which has done the
most effective work in the interest
of the race.
By becoming a member of the n.
A. A. c. p, there are three purposes
for good which may be servca First
organization, without vh.ch, very lit
tie can be accomplished; Second:
numbers. People in large numbers
united in any one cause, wfll make
the king tremble on his throne;
Third is dollars. A million members
organized. under proper directing
force as the reputation of the N. A.
A. G. P. and million dollars to back
up their activities. This once done
nothing in the bounds of right and
justice will be denied us.
The local branch should have at
least five thousand members. With
that number, marvellous change in
the status of our group would take
place
We have little patience with those
who are always complaining. but new
er doing anything toward bringing
about change.
The membership fee is only one
dollar-what is a change in condition
worth to you? Let each one answer
