.THE ELKS' PARADE.

A unique sight was presented to
this city last Sunday afternoon when
Capital City Lodge and. Williams
Lodge Of Eiks combined in a street pa
rade 90 visit the Orphan Asylum to
aid the institutions Both lodges have
bands Of their owny The former Mun,-
cipal Band is now IN the fold Of the
Capital City Lodge OF Elks. The WI,
liams' band with a membership of 55
was organized by DR. ]. L. Peters. who
seems to be past master In building
upto-date bands out OF material that
WOULD cause tho average leader to
pause in the undertaking. But he fhs
unerring judgment and he has been
able to SEE brilliAat qualities In men
that others would overlook. On the
line Of march, Sunday, hh was. save
for his handsome uniform, the most
unostentatious man In the whole pro.
cessfon.
He has organized also the Ziontown
Band, which band is handsomely um
formed and has thirty members. DR.
Peters has rare musical powers and is
always busy, being wholly unable t.
accept all Of the engagements which
come to him. He Is a fine organizer,
as gentle as woman, but can be as
stern as judge when the occasion
calls for positive action. He is now
,,harmacist at Miller's Pharmacy, but
nnds time TO engage in the musical
profession, which he loves SO we'll.
The exercises on the lawn of the
orphan asylum were attended by a
large oyerflowing crowd. The pro-

(New York Age. Sept. 8, 1921
The white Commanding Officer and
two white assistants are to be retain

of the country and contrary to the

dent Harding before his death
This compromise action Is taken by
the Veterans Bureau, it appears, fol
low the protests made by Tuskegee
whites, coupled with Ku Klux Klar
demonstration in the vicinity OF the
hospital and of Tuskegee Institute
and through the streets OF the town of
Tuskegee, which demonstration reveal

Commander, at the hospital is either
connected with the Klan or is an act.
i've sympathizer. This disclosure has
led to the insistent demand that Col
Stanley be removed from authority at
the hospital.
Indications at first led to the i'm
preston that the demand of the col
ored people would be complied with,
but the letter from Director Hines
tells different story. Although he i'm
plies that the retention of a white Com
mander is temporary, there is no indi.
cation of an intention to remove Stan.

NEW YORK. August Marked
improvement in President Harding's

recorded by United States Steel. Cru
