$15O,OOO Estate to
Tuskege Institute

Oakland, Calif-By the will of Will
liam T. Ewing of this city, who died
recently, his entire estate, amounting
to S150,000, was devised outright to
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.
Mr.. Ewing was born a slave in the
State of Missouri. This is the larg-
est legacy given by any colOred man
TO an educational institution in Amer
lea, it is reported. Mr.. Ewing, after
living in Iowa and Tacoma, Wash,
went to Alaska in 1896, and was there
when the gold rush began. He staked
out claim from which he realized a
modest fortune. Then in 1908 he
struck lode that cleaned up $4,000
in three months. He invested in
Alaska property, reselling profitably.
Settling in Oakland in 1904, he ac-
auired holdings that now include some
of the citys most highly developed
residential sections. The estate ems
braces both Alaskan and California

BRITISH LIKE
ROLAND HAYES
American Artist Wildly Ap-
plauded by London Au-
dience at Wigmore
Hall

London, England, May 4.-Do the
English like Roland Hayes?
Ask the big audience that jammed
Wigmore Hall to hear a recital by
the famous colored American tenor
last week who wildly applauded
every number, and then stormed the
artists room at the conclusion of the
performance in order to shake his
hand.
Mr.. Hayes was accompanied by
Harold Craxton. white, one of Lon
don's leading pianists. Last year he
gained countrywide attention, when
he sang before King George, who pre-
sented him with diamond pin.
From the time Mr.. Hays took the
stage until he had sung through his
program of twenty numbers, the
audience was simply delighted. Not
Il sound could be heard during the
singing
Mr.. Hayes began with a number of
German songs and then sang some
old English melodies, displaying his
soft delightful singing, yet with ev-
cry word telling with its emphasis.
The second part of the program was
in French, winding up with some
modern songs in English and two
Negro melodies, 80 Rock Me- julie"
and Don't Scandalize My Name
Critics here praised him as the
greatest singer of the race and an
example to most other whites in that
he never attempts an effect out of
place nor shows excessive display of
his voice for cheap effect
After the concert Mr.. Hayes left
for Paris

ENJAAIIN FRANKLIN STAPLE
X TON, newly elected mayor of
- Denver, has been prominent fig
ure in the affairs of this city for more
than twenty-five years. He was born
Nov. -, 1873. His birthplace was a
farm house near Paintsville, Ky. The
early part of his life was spent on the
farm and he received his preliminary
education in the Paintsville public
schools. Later, he attended the Ma
tional Normal School mt lebanon, o.
Then he took up the study of law and
passed the bar examination and was
admitted to practice in 1896.
Shortly after being admitted to prac-
tice law, he moved to Denver, and this
city has been his home since that time.
Mr.. Stapleton enlisted as n private
with the First Colorado Volunteers
war against Spain. He served through
the Spanish-American war in the Phil
ippines, and in the war of the Philip
pin insurrection, taking part in many
engagements. He was mustered out of
service in September, 1899, with the
rank of first sergeant.
Mr.. Stapleton served in the county
recorders and county treasurer's Of
fices from 1900 to 1904 when he was
elected police magistrate and justice
of the peace, an office he held until
1915. During his term of office as
police magistrate and justice of the
peace, he received two appointments
from Mayor Robert W. Speer and one
under the commission form of govern
ment in addition to his original elec-
ton.
Formerly Postmaster Here
In 1915 he was appointed postmaster
of Denver and served in that capacity
until 1921. John F. Shafroth and
Charles S. Thomas, then representing
Colorado in the United States Senate,
indorsed Mr.. Stapeton for the posi-
tion. He was reappointed in 1919 and
two years later resigned to associate
with a large oil company. He was
placed in charge of the cOmpany's bus
mess in Texas and had charge of their
Texas business until the company was
absorbed by another concern.
Associated with Mr.. Stapleton in the
Western Oil Fields venture was ex-
Governor Oliver II. Shoup, and other
men of large financial interests who
showed their complete confidence in
Mr.. Stapleton's ability by placing him
wholly in charge of the affairs of the
company. 1t was during his admins
tration as postmaster that the Den
yer postoffice had its most rapid
growth and arose to the commanding
heights of n big, first-class office. A
very deserving tribute to the new may
or is offered in the fact that practical
ly every employee who served under
him in the postoffice was strong for
him in the campaign just closed. He
has a devoted wife and proud son of
four years old, Benz f. Stapleton, Jr.,
who will happily share the new hon
ors that have come to their household.
They have a charming home at 43O
Williams street, bordering the fash
ionable Country Club district.

Southern States See
Cause for Alarm at
Migration to North
of Negro Labor

Louisville, KY, May 10.-Thousands
of Negroes have migrated from the
Southern States to Northern and West
ern regions within the last six months
and the movement is showing signs of
continuing, DR.. 1. Garland Penn, Sr.,
Cincinnati, executive secretary of the
Board of Negro Education of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church said in an ad-
dress today at the conference of city
church workers held under the auspices
Of the board of home missions and
church extension of the United States.
Mr.. Penn said the movement of the
Negroes from the South was alarming
and that he thought the leading white
and Negro citizens should confer with
a view to affording better living and
school conditions and giving more bro
therly treatment.
Unsatisfactory living conditions, de-
nial of the right to vote, boil weevil
ravages and cotton crops and mob vio-
lence were some of the reasons for the
migration in the opinion of DR.. w. a.
C. Hughes, Negro, Philadelphia, direc-
tor of the bureau of Negro work, who
also discussed the question.

PROMOTION OF PERRY W. HOWARD,
SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO The
ATTORNEY GENERAL

xxYASHINGToN, D. G., May L
w Perry w. Howard. special as
w sistant to the Attorney Gener-
al. is now the highest salaried gov
ernment official of color in the United
States. This distinction comes as the
result of promotion in the tangible
form of an increase of $1,000 in his
yearly salary. He now receives
$4,000 a year.
Result of Legal Efforts
This promotion is a recognition of
the very valuable legal services Mr..
Howard has rendered the government.
He received his appointment two years
ago and was assigned large number
of suits brought by various railroad
companies against the United States.
Many millions of dollars in claims
against the government were involved.
The railroad companies had the best
lawyers they could obtain. But Mr..
Howard went to his work enthusi-
astically and, as result of the sue
cess with which he defended these
claims against the government, the
Attorney General shortly after his re-
turn to the Department of Justice
last week approved this promotion for
him.
Engaged in Important Work
A conception of the Importance of
the work in which Mr.. Howard is en-
gagged at the Department of Justice
may be had from the fact that during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1922,
ninety-one railroad cases handled by
him, in which the amount claimed was
$4,000, ,41571, were disposed of. The
claimants, however, secured judg-
ments for only S513,S5O19, for large
part of which there was no defense; !;
the only question involved being the
ascertainment of the correct amount
due. He now has 102 cases pending,
in which the amounts claimed aggre-
gate S3,9O1, ,20446.
He has also represented the govern
ment in two coal cases involving the
question of the liability of the United
States for losses incurred by produc-
ers in selling their coal at prices fixed
by the Fuel Administration under the
wartime powers given the president.
In both of these cases he filed demur-
rers to the petitions, which were sus-
tained in the Court of Claims. The
coal companies Immediately appealed
to the Supreme Court and if these
test cases should be decided adversely
to the government, the United States
win probably be called upon to salts
fly judgments amounting to millions.
A Fine Example
Born and reared in Mississippi, his
is a splendid example to the Negro
youth of this country of the height
which may be attained in the legal
profession by application and deter
mination.

the labor situation developing as a
cause of the getting from under of
the Negro worker. The meetings
were called by the State Chamber of
Commerce.
A large number of Negroes have
also been arrested on the charge that
they were found idle about employ
ment agencies, notwithstanding ap>
peals by Southern planters for help.

More than a quarter OF a CEN
fury has elapsed since Prof. Ohm
=. des Garcnnes first arrived here
and assumed his duties as a
teacher in the foreign language
department at the Naval Acad-
envy, and it is therefore. with
profound regret that we learn Of
his departure for Westminster,
Md, where he will make his fu-
turc home.
During the long number OF
years that he was attached to the
Academy teaching staff. Prof. dea
Garennes performed his duties
most efficiently. his record OF
service at the naval institution,
indeed, being exceptionally meri-
torious. Possessed of brilliant
intellect he gained considerable
fame, in addition to his splendid
record as teacher. by making
many contributions to the liter
airy world which elected favor
able comment and praise. His
splendid qualifications as a teach
cd and loyal friend, his attractive
personality and deep interest in
his fellow-men, won for him
many lasting friendships among
those associated with him at the
Academy. Among the people OF
Annapolis, too, he counts his
friends by the score. and all of
these join in the general regret
occasioned by his leave-taking
for another city.

OF promotion and selection with
in the consular and diplomatic
service
The only trouble seems to be
the difficulty OF getting the
theory pnf into general practice.
at least SO FAR as the higher di-
plomatic posts are concerned.
We haze kept advancing on the
road Of diplomatic efficiency for
{ great many years but we don't
seem to get very far. 1t IS true
that in a few Of the smaller min
istries and among the assistant
secretaries OF state are men who
have come up from the bottom
in diplomatic work. But they
are ihe exceptions.
The statements OF our leaders.
and requests such as that OF Mr..
Pcn6eld. are commendablc in the
highest degree. Still, until it be-
comes the best politics to appoint
diplomats for their diplomacy,
rather than for their participa-
ton in practical politics, the adj
mirable theory can be OF little
practical importance.
