L4ANGSTON HUGHES LITERARY
DRAMATIC CLUB.
Mrs. S. A. Wilson, Directress.)

After a brief period of twelve months
of study and planning the club will
recess for sixty days. We realize that
leisure has very important part 20
play in the program of real develop
ment, whether mental or physical.
The club has been hard-worked for
the past year and has done some very
praiseworthy things The club stands
for the very best in department among
the young people, and will tolerate no
thing less. A very few weeks ago an
invitation was extended to the Inter
UNCONVENTIONAL Ministers Alliance to
visit one Of our regular meetings,
which was responded to by Revs W.
c.. Wilson of the New Hope Baptist
Church. and r. L. Young of the Newell
Chapel c. M. E. church. The advice and
wholesome suggestiorts coming from
them were very timely and encouraC-
ing.
During the sixty days of recess, the
members of the club are expected to
show forth the very best in department
and usefulness in their respective COM
1nunities and the city. Our secret ser
vice will keep under eye every mem
Der of the club during the recess per
led. The principles of the club must
remain inviolable Any member who
becomes so forgetful, and allows his
deneanor to fall below the standard
will be marked out by the constitution.
The time of re- assembling at the ex-
piration of sixty days, will be looked
forward to with much enthusiasm, for
two main reasons; Everybody in the
club will be listening to hear Of his re-
cord.
The club will be re-assembled by
individual notices and it is hoped that
every member will have SO conducted
himself, that he will answer when the
roll is called.
I believe that there are good girls
and boys in our city: young men and
young women who think clean thou
ghts and desire clean and upri-ht So
ciety, regardless to the many who don't
care which way things go. l believe
that the clean-t thinking young people
should have the opportunity to form a
social grouping common to their kind,
which will afford the clean expression
social purity 1t cannot be disputed that
our sons and daughte have
social nature, and that
they should be helped and directed in
the proper channel, which will reflect
greatness and goodness to the credit Of
the race They should be made to rea-
lie that their social nature is sacred,
being divinely given, and should not
be abused by looseness and unthought-
fitness.
If any fail to re-appear in the lime
light after the recess period of the
club, it will be because they fell be-
low the standard The Club is not a
reform school, on the other hand II
seeks to make a social unit of clean
and upright thinking young people,
that our communities and city may
have in them a worthy example of
youth for these who shall come after
Any person whose department in
general will mean a besmirchmert Of
the lofty principles of the club will not
be tolerated.
The club will go on hike next week
accompanied by the directress and a
few other of the saner type Of our
Cup
Yours for the better social express
sion of our young men and young
women.

GAS COMPANY PLAN
President Sperry Tells Con-
gress Work for 200 to 500
Depends on Merger.

Marcy L. Sperry, president Of the
Washington Gas Light Co., today in
formed Representative Black OF New
York, chairman of the Public Utilities
Subcommittee Of the House District
Committee, that the company has
planned a construction program for
1888 involving a total cost of $1,747,-
$50, which would provide work for be-
tween 200 and 500 men.
The program cannot be carried out,
however, Sperry said, unless Congress
approves the pending bill to authorize
corporate merger Of the Washington
& Georgetown Gas companies. The
bill Is now in Blacks subcommittee and
probably will be reported out favorably
sometime next week.
Sperry's report shows $121 500 would
be spent for additions and improve
ments in generating tanks; $783 700 for
the installation of approximately 27O,-
900 feet of new gas main and service
pipes; $775,000 for q new gas holder;
s57.050 for miscellaneous equipment,
and $4,000 for building construction.
OF the total estimated expenditures, ap-
priximately 100000 would be expended
for labor
Black said Speaker Rainey had given
assurance to Chairman Norton of the
House District Committee that the gas
merger bill would be considered by the
House as soon as the emergency legis-
lation Is passed.
The gas merger bill was passed by the
House in the last session without de-
bate, but died on the Senate unanimous
consent calendar due to the objection
OF the late Senator Howell Of Nebraska.

BERLIN, May 3.-Youths who will
have completed their nineteenth year
by January /, 1884, will constitute the
first recruits for the compulsory labor
army In which all young Germans,
rich and poor alike, will have to serve.
The first period of service, it was
learned today, will be for six months
After the scheme has been in operation
for a year draftees will be compelled to
work II months
The government feels that organiza-
tion of the plan must proceed care
fully and therefore 1t is desirable at
the outset to draft only half those sub
ject to the regulation.
Just when it will begin to operate
has not been definitely announced, but
the government intimates 1t will be
soon.
A special Office has been created for
organizing labor camps, purchasing
clothes, tools and other equipment. and
arranging for provisions. This sfice
will spread its orders over the entire
reich, thereby stimulating business
everywhere.
The question Of compulsory labor for
women will be the subject Of special
regulation later.

COMMITTEE BACKS
SECURITIES CURB
House Group Orders Report
for Strict Regulation of
U. S. Issues.

The House Interstate Commerce
Committee today ordered favorably re-
ported a revised administration bill
to regulate securities.
The bill provides for registration
with the Federal Trade Commission
of all issues of securities to be sold
in interstate commerce.
1t sets up rules and regulations to
provide full publicity to the issues for
information of the public and pro-
vides punishment for violations. In
addition, the revised measure holds
isSuerS liable to civil action by pur-
chases up to the amount of the value
of the stock sold
Chairman Rayburn plans to place the
measure before the House for action
this week to make way for President
Roosevelt's legislative proposal for
railroad rehabilitation.
The redrafted measure differs radi-
cally from both the original measure
approved by the White House and the
bin written by the Senate Banking
Committee.
Retroactive Clause Out.
The administration provision to
make the measure retroactive, which
, would affect all outstanding securities,
was eliminated
Instead, provision exempting any
security which has been sold or offered
for sale to the public go days prior to
the enactment of the bill was included.
This exemption, however, does mot
apply to any new offering OF any such
security by or through an underwater
subsequent to such 60 days."
A blue pencil of elimination was
drawn also through another provision
in the original bill compelling railroads
to register securities issued under the
direction of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which already requires
publicity.
Instead of permitting registration of
securities to take effect Immediately
upon receipt by the commission Of re-
quired information and copies Of the
prospectuses, the provision was changed
to prohibit any issue from being
registered until 80 days after the in
formation has been received by the
commission.
Checkup Provided.
This is to give the commission time
in which to check up on the informa-
ton, which goes into the financial
structure CT the issuers, personnel,
ownership, dictatorship, and other i'm
portant details.
If the registration is incomplete or
inaccurate the commission may hold
| up the issue for a hearing of its pro-
moterS or iSsuerS.
Striking out the revocation provisions
| which would force the commission to
| ascertain the correctness Of the In
| formation after the issues were sold
| to the public, the committee substituted
provision empowering the commission
to issue stop orders" against them.
