K. OF P. BATH HOUSE RE-OPENED

The Pythian Bath House, Hotel
and S~anitarium which re-opened in
January has up to date enjoyed
phenomenal success under the mana
cement of DR.. H. H. Phipps. Both the
health-giving powers of the baths
and the many opportunities of
healthful outdoor recreation have
been stressed, making an irresistible
appeal to the Colored people of the
country. Former guests have return
ed in large numbers and they have
all been surprised and delighted at
the elegance of the place. The entire
building, especially the bath house,
has been ~redecorated and m~odernized
so that it is now the finest in the
city for colored people and as good as
any of the establishments for white
people. Guests who have visited the
European Spas and are in a position
to make a comparison, say that it far
surpasses them in appointments and
service. This building with adequate
support could be made a real mecca
for the colored people of this coun-
try, a place where they could come
for health and pleasure. These radio
active baths, of course, are interna-
tionally known and their curative

: HIGHLIGHTS
ECONOMIC

Happenings That Affect the Dinner
Pals, Dividend Checks and Tax Bills
of Every Individual. National and In
ternaticnal Problems Inseparable
from Local Welfare.
Every President, according to
tradition, is entitled to one honey
moon with Congress - a session in
which his pet legislative propoals
will be okeyed by the representative
of the people without strenuous OPP
position.
Mr.. Roosevelt's honeymoon those of
his immediate predecessors look like
a meeting between the parrot and the
monkey. The first Congress to sit
undes his Administration gave him
every extraordinary power he asked
for. 1t surrendered rights and pre-
negatives it had priced for genera
tions. There was no organized OPP
position. When occasional individual
voices appeared in criticism, they
were showed under.
Most Presidents encounter trouble
with their second Congress. And in
Mr.. Roosevelt's case, it is true that
the sailing wasn't as easy as it had
been. But the honeymoon continued.
A certain amount of opposition APP
peared, largely within the Presidents
own party, but the high geared
Democratic congressional machine
made short shift Of it. The powers of
the Chief Executive, b~roadened to an
amazing degree through acts of the
preceding Congress, were ~broadened
still more during the one that has
just COM to a sudden and dramatic
end.
Most remarkable bill passed during
the SESSION was the Reciprocal Tariff
Act. Under it, the President is en-
powered to bargain with
foreign powers and raise and lower
our tariffs on almost all products
t othe extent Of SO per cent MI.
Hoover asked for a similar blll-and
it is noteworthy that some of the
Democrats leaders who put it
through for Mr.. Roosevelt, were in
trumental in decisively defeating it
at that time.
The Silver Purchase Act gives the
President further unprecedented
powers ever our money. He is per-
mitted, at his discretion, to purchase
100000 ounces of fine silver in the
world market and issue currency a.
gainst it.
The Stock Exchange Act is an
other Administration bill of the first
Importance. 1t stringently regulates
all exchange activities and makes IL
legal a number of common practices
such as wash-selling, low margins
and dissemination Of tips. Mr.. Roose-
vefs is thus made virtual dictator of
the nations security markets.

the case.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
A copy of the decision of Judge
Horton is herewith enclosed together
with the printed brief of the appeal
now pending before the Alabama Su-
preme Court.
Judge Horizons decision was hand
ed down on June %, 1888, in the
Morgan Circuit Court of Alabama,
granting the motion for a new trial
in tha cas of Haywood Patterson
who was convicted and sentenced to
death at his second trial held in De-
catur. This trial followed upon the
decision of the United States Su-
RENE Court which order a new trial
and reversed the death sentences
passed upon seven Of these boys by
the Scottsboro court and upheld by
the Alabama Supreme Court. This
decision Of Judge Horton reviewed
at length the entire evidence submit
ted both at Scottsboro and at Deca-
tur. "a digest Of the most import
ant findings Of this decision is p
pended hereto.) This decision adj
judged the case for the State of Ala
bama in the following significant
words:
This is the States evidence. 1t
c~orroborates Victoria Price
slightly, if at all, and her evid-
ence is so contrary to the evid-
ence of the doctors who exam
ined her that it has been i'm
possible for the court to recon
cile their evidence with hers.
"The testimony Of the prosecu-
trix in this case is not only I'M
cOrrOborated, but it also bears
on its face indications of i'm
probability and is contradicted
by other evidence, and in addi-
ton thereto the evidence greatly
p~reponderates in favor of the de-
PENDANT. 1t therefore becomes
the duty of the duty Of the
Court under the law to grant the
motion made in this case"
Please mark, Mr.. President, that
this decision was handed down by a
white Alabama judge in the face Of
deliberately organized and actually
menacing lynch terror. This decision
must, therefore, convince all but the
conscious and upholders Of
b~arbarous lynch oppression that
these nine Negro boys are absolutely
innocent of the foul charges brought
against them, and that they are the
victims Of a CHASTITY lynch conspir-
acy which contravenes every prin-
ciple of justice and every democratic
right which is supposed to be guar
anteed by the Constitution of the
| United States.
