URBAN LEAGUE
TO GET MERTON
ART BUILDINGS

MERTON, Pa, April 2S.-In the
face of increasing feeling against
the conversion of the Barnes Foun-
dation into an intellectual center for
members of the Negro race DIR. AL
bert c. Barnes, millionaire founder
and owner of what is recognized as
one of the largest and most COM
plete institutions of art in this coun-
try, has expressed himself as intend
ing to carry through his plans for a
Negro intellectual center, regardless
OF the attitude OF white property
owners in the vicinity of the school.
Open objection to the establish
ment of such a center was first
made last week when the ,iitizens
OF Merton expressed their dlssatis-
faction at the contemplated change
through the daily newspapers.
DR.. Barnes, Philadelphian who
has accumulated his fortune here,
has for some twenty years given
evidence of HIS interest in the Negro
and in the Negroes progress, partic-
ularly along cultural lines. He has
been an ardent and enthusiastic sup
porter of the National Urban League
and other similar racial organiza-
tions. His contact with the better
elements Of Negroes has made him
unusually liberal-minded and Great
ed within him an urge to be of
whatever assistance he can in en-
couraging the Negro in tangible
ways. ~
Dr. Barnes plans include having
the Barnes Foundation serve as
national center for the development
of the race artistic and mental en-
dowment of the group. II would
provide comfortable accommodation
freedom from oppression and in
struction from skilled educators of
both races.
Should this educational center be-
come reality, its organization
would be subsidized by the Rookie
feller, Carnegie and Sage Founda-
tions for furthering harmonious re-
lations between the races.
The grounds comprise several
buildings, IL acre park and the
second best aboretum in the coun-
try.

HAYES SCHOOL
TO Be MEMORIAL
To His MOTHER

BOSTON, Mass, April 29.-Six
hundred acres of land near CAL
houn, Ca, has been purchased by
Roland Hayes, celebrated tenor,
and Will be used as the site of a
memorial school in tribute to his
mother. Mr.. Hayes was born in
Calhoun. When he came to Boston
to study his mother came with
him. In the struggles incident to
his earlier vocal training, Mrs.
Hayes fortified him with rare devo-
tion and understanding and provid-
ed him with that background of
serenity and peace necessary to the
intensive study he set himself.
And since Mrs. Hayes passed on
several years ago, it has been Mr.
Hayes conclusion that no more
suitable expression of his gratitude
could be made than the foundation
of a school which would become a
center where inspiration and talent
and ambition in his own people, as
well as any of the white race which
chose to come to it, might be guild
ed and fostered and Ultimately pro-
vided with a means of giving back
to the world service in the arts.
II do not aim at impressiveness
in the building or equipment" Mr..
Hayes said to an interviewer: "all
that must be secondary to the stan
dard of instruction provided. Moth
ing will be done in hurry. I have
a great ideal, one worthy of the
woman whose beautiful character
has constantly inspired me In my
own work and now bids me pass
along to others something it en-
visioned. But think the ideal must
find expression slowly. / want to
build something as enduring as her
great gifts to me-"

AGED WOMAN
WIN S $4,000
SUIT FOR WAGES

NASHVILLE, Mo, April 2S.-
(Special) "A suit for $4,000 life
time wages. charged to have been
due her for services in the employ
ment of the late Colonel H. Clay
Duncan, wealthy cattle man, ended
Wednesday when Sarah Duncan, 65
years old, was awarded $4,000
against the Duncan estate in Circuit
Judge Guy Parks court. The jury
deliberated about five hours, return
ing with a 1912 verdict.
Miss Duncan, who came to the
Duncan household when a small
child, was left an aged and penni-
less woman at the time of Colonel
Duncan's death. Through verbal
agreement she had been promised
a stipulated wage for her services,
but had never received any remun-
Grafton. Upon the advice of friends
she filed suit for the pay which was
due her according to the arrange
ment.
Miss Duncan could not be award
ed the full amount asked in her
suit under the statutes of 1865
which invalidates the compounding
interest on money due through YER
bal contract. The petition was
amended reducing the sum from
$4,000 to $4,000, the amount
claimed to be due her plus simple
interest for AZ years.

DENY CHINAMAN
LICENSE TO Wed
COLORED WOMAN

BALTIMORE. Md, April 2S.-
The Maryland Klu Klux Klan bill
which prohibits marriage between
Caucasians and Negroes, was cited

Chinaman to marry a colored wo-
man.
Samuel Moy. 81 years old, the
chinaman, sought license to marry
Turetta Budd, 20, after journeying
from Washington, ID. c., to Rock
vile, Md, where they planned to be
married. The clerk refused the pair
license, stating that such would
be illegal due to the state law which
forbids marriage Of white and col
ored persons. The pair left the Of

MADRAS, April 15.-India has

century and half, and as Mr..
Lloyd George said, 1900 whites,

The distinction between the whites
and the colored is perceptible every
where. You have jim crow cars in
your land, and we have separate
churches and separate cemeteries
and separate schools and colleges
for Europeans and Indians.
Even the Young Mems Christian
Association and the Young Women's s
Christian Association are not with
out similar distinction. In the lat
ter, the girls of the whites and the
browns are not allowed to meet in
a common hall even to offer their
daily prayers to the common Faith
er in Heaven, and in their athletics,
tennis, etc, both the races are sep
arated.
India is already a land of a hun

national differences with race and

Christ Was Colored
Christianity ceased to be a reli-
gion of Christ, when Asia ceased to
teach it. The whites forget the fact
that Christ Jesus was an Asiatic,
and if today Christ Jesus, Budda,
Mohamed, Confucius, Zoroaster and

GIVEN FREEDOM

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 90
Bishop w. Sampson Brooks of the
A. M. f: Church, who was arrested
upon his arrival In Monrovia, Libe-
ria, after a years absence, has been
given his freedom by Liberian Off
cials, according to cablegrams re-
ceived this week.
The State Department would give
out no information Wednesday rela-
tive to its investigation of the arrest
of Bishop Brooks.
The arrest of the bishop is still
under investigation by the American
Legation at Monrovia. Its result to
date have been communicated to
John Hawkins, financial secretary
of the A. NJ. e. Church. Without
the consent of Mr.. Hawkins, the
State Department will not divulge
any of the findings. 1t takes the
view that the matter is private.
The investigation was begun at
the instance of Mr.. Hawkins whom
the State Department regard as the
representative of Bishop Brooks in
this country.
Investigation shows today that up
on his arrival in Liberia after
years absence, Bishop Brooks did
not have sufficient funds with him
to pay off all of his missionary
workers whom he had left there.
One of these who was dissatisfied
filed suit against the bishop.

NEW YORK, April 27.-While
travelling in the South it was vivid
ly brought to my attention that in
some regions it is not necessary for
a Negro to commit an unlawful act
to get into trouble or unexpectedly
find himself in the clutches of the
law. Sins of omission offend the pro-
vincial mind as easily as sins Of COM
mission.
What keeps a Negro in constant
trepidation is that he never knows
when he unconsciously is apt to give
offense and be put behind the bars,
in the hospital or in the morgue.
