LINCOLN DOUGLASS
CELEBRATION HERE

Lincoln-Douglass Day was the
occasion of the greatest race meet
ing held in Richmond in many a
day The citizens hereabouts awoke
from a lethargy of long standing and
decided to celebrate the birthdays
of the heroic patrons of our eman-
cipation from Misunderstanding and
race-killing serfdom. Abraham Lin
coins birthday is February II and
the birthday of Frederick Douglass
falls on February IA, and the &C
cepted custom among race organlza-
tons in the United States is to
celebrate these two epochal birth
days on February IL, under the
name of Lincoln-Douglass Day.
The celebration here was held at
True Reformers' Hall, under the
auspices of the Union League, the
local chapter of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People in cooperation. Mr..
w. S. Morgan presided. The cele-
bration was fairly well attended.
For some reason the call for racial
uplift movements, and get-together
confabs on the hustings fail to
arouse our folks around these parts.
1t maybe that this meeting will
prove to be the clarion call and lead
the way for better results along this
line.
Invocation was by DR.. w. T. John
son, and music was furnished by the
Sabbath Glee Club and the Arm

strong Glee Club. The Emancipa-
ton Proclamation was read by Miss
Maria Burke; Mrs. Ella Carter re.
cited a poem to the occasion and
Mrs. Lena Caldwell sang a sweet
solo. all of these numbers giving a
finese to the occasion. The orators
of the evening were Rev. ]. R. Hen
derson, of Virginia Union University
and Mr.. C. August Mckenzie, Esq.
Rev. J r. Henderson, who is noted
for his oratorical ability, electrified
the audience with a great and elo-
ouent Grafton on the life Of Fred
erick Douglass. He centered the
lessons of his life around Douglass
Unsuitable thirst for knowledge and
his yearning for the freedom OF his
people. This great effort of Rev.
Mr.. Henderson is worth more than
passing notice and should rank as a
classic in biographical orations on
the lives of great men.
Lawyer C August Mckenzie, young
practicing attorney here, delivered a
fine address on Lessons From the
Life of Abraham Lincoln" and
won his audience with a comparative
illustration as the climax of his ora
ton and the life Of the Great Eman
cipator. Lawyer Mckenzie had a
copy of a will probated in Richmond
in 1860, in which certain slaves were
willed by a prominent Richmond
woman to her daughter forever. He
then read an excerpt from Lincoln's
proclamation of 1865, declaring these
slaves free henceforward. This finale
'sbrought down the house."

Alleged "Dope'' in Christmas Card
Halted by accident at Court House

Some friend from Raleigh, y. C.
wanted Paul Jacobs of that town,
who is being held at the District
Jail on charge Of having pos
session Of narcotics to have
white" Christmas and so adopted
a most ingenious means to send
him a quantity Of white powder
which United States Marshal Ed
gar C. Snyder thinks may be dope.
But Jacobs will not get the Snow"
If such 1t proves to be on examina-
tion by Col. L. G. Mutt of the mar
Gothic division Of the Government.
The discovery not only deprived
Jacobs Of his pleasure, but thwart
ed an attempt to smuggle the
forbidden narcotic into the District
Jail.
The means adopted by Jacobs
pal was beautifully decorated
Christmas card with a spray Of
holly and a verse of Christmas
greeting on one side and writ
ten message from his friend on
the other. The card had been deft-
ly separated and a quantity OF
white powder supposed to be
narcotic inserted and the two
thicknesses Of the card pasted to-
gether. To allay suspicion an
other Christmas card contain
ing similar greetings from another
friend was sent along. Both cards
were addressed to Jacobs in care

were delivered at the marshaPs

going to the jail. When Chief

Executive Said to Hold Legal

AS a result of the intensive study
President Coolidge has been making
Of the rent situation in the District
OF Columbia, he is now considering
the possibilities OF amending the
present rent act SO as to remove any
possibility of Its being unconstitu-
tionai.
President Coolidge, aside from the
economic question involved, feels that
the rent act should be boIstered ur.
With a view to protecting sanitary
and moral conditions under which the
public Of this city is living.
Holds Move Necessary.
This legislation, the President feels.
Is necessary at this time because OF
the adverse court decision as to the
existence of n housing emergency
here and also as to the constitution
ality Of the rent law.
Following 4 conference yesterday
with Richard Whaley, chairman OF
or the District Rent Commission, the
President has asked the latter to con-
slider further the need OF additional
legislation and to prepare the draft
Of law that would answer the prr-
pose. Putting aside the question Of
whether or not the rentals in the Dis
trfct of Columbia are excessive or
whether or not there is a shortage of
homes at reasonable rentals, the
President is represented as being de-
termined that the law should be
amended so that health and the NOR
ais Of the citizens of the Capital sha!,
be protected. The President, il is
understood, viii take the initiative

statement that when fir and
spruce are not available, the pines

finds way into many homes"
Both find consolation, however,

less important than the holiday
spirit to go with it."
