have been with the organization
for thirty years. I've held about
every office, through vice-presi-
dent-at-large, and twice stepped
aside to push older friends to lead
ership of the organization. Then
when my time for elevation came
I chose between going to Europe
as a representative of the Negro
women, to the leadership of the
National"
well, what of Chicago and
Cleveland?" DR.. Brown was asked.
The Palmer Memorial head was
quick to answer: II literally ran
out of my turn. Women from
thirty states used my name
against my wishes, and gave me
their votes. But the National org

shreds by overflow votes of local
delegates who flood the ballot
box"
'What of the leadership of the
organization today as compared
with the past?" DR.. Brown was
asked.
'"The National still has fine
blood" she answered, but the
organization has been victinized
by group who do not stop to
reason until afterwards, and sacri-
flee anything for the sake of an
office. I have many friends in the
organization. I shall always wish
them well, and I shall follow their
progress; but 7 do not plan to
attend another national meeting.
My time is needed in the field of
education, and Palmer Institute,
the child Of my heart, needs a
quarter of million dollars en-
dowment, and that comes first
with me-"
''Will you keep an interest in
your State Federation ?" DR..
Brown was asked.
ooh, yes," she replied. IT helped
to begin the work in North Caro-
lima. It will always be dear to
my heart. Our program of inter-
est is on the wane because public
welfare agencies are now doing
much of the work that Negro wo-
men had to do years ago. North
Carolina has an interested, intelli-
gent following, and a cooperative
group Of women who donated in
our recent meeting nearly $1,000
to forward the work being done

Pressed further: DO you think

usefulness ?" DR.. Brown answer
ed:
mo. There are great potential
tiles in an organization that en-
lists the interest of so many out
standing Negro women. But the
organization has been exploited by
a few women who were climbers.
They have made no genuine con-
tribution to the development of the

attempting to perpetuate them

LIQUOR SHIPMENTS.
BOND HELD INVALID.
Virginia A. B. c. Rule Requir-

BY the Associated Press.

STAUNTON, Va. September ga
regulation of the State Liquor Control
Board which, under terms Of the A. B.
c. act, has the effect of law, was de-
clared invalid yesterday by the State
Supreme Court Of Appeals.
The court held that the boards rul-
ing making it mandatory for shippers
transporting liquor through Virginia
to obtain permits and post a bond, al
though the liquor ostensibly Is not in
tended for sale or use in the State,
constitutes direct burden upon in
terstate commerce"
The ruling was handed down in the
appeal Of Eddie Williams from a con-
viction and fine by the Corporation
Court Of Bristol.
Williams, according to the record,
was arrested in April of 1896 while
driving with Hubert Parker in an au..
tomObile loaded with $40 pints Of
whisky. Their car bore North Caro-
lima licenses and was properly regis
tered in that State. They produced
evidence that the liquor was purchased
In Corbin, KY, and was consigned to
Baltimore retailer. Because they
did not have the required transporta-
tion permit and had not posted bond,
they were convicted and fined $3.50.
Parker has since died.
THE failure Of the plaintiff in error
to have a transportation permit for
his shipment and his failure to post
the bond required" the court held,
did not constitute an infraction of
any valid criminal law in Virginia"
The board has stated that it made
its bond and permit regulation appli-
cable to shipments in interstate COM
merce in an effort to control the boot
leg supply.
