InfeTToeiol Romance
Ends In Marriage:
PuFenfS Satisfied

Ithaca, ". Y CAMP Love
conquered racial barriers here
last week when a white man and
a Negro woman, both graduates
in this years class at EarIham
college. were married in a
Quaker ceremony on the Cornell
university campus.
The newly welded couple is
Robert McAllester. %. Ithaca, the
son Of a former Congregational
missionary in Africa, and the
former Miss Grace Cunningham.
%, Berkeley, Cal.
The couple became engaged
while students during their last
semester at Earlham college, a
Quaker institution located in
Richmond, Ind.
Announcement OF the engage
ment produced mixed reaction
from students and members Of
the faculty at the school which
long had been looked upon as one
Of the most liberal colleges in the
country.
It's president, DR.. Thomas
Jones. who formerly headed Fisk
university in Nashville, Tenn,
staunchly opposed the marital
plans Of the couple. After a con-
ference attended by the students
involved and faculty members,
DIR. Jones advised McAuester 20
leave the school and continue his
studies by mail Miss Cunning
ham. however, was allowed to re-
main at the school
McAnester completed his re-
qmrement by mail and both were
graduated Monday, June 2
In defending Its position In the
affair. EArIham said u had a
non segregation policy but dis
courAged inteFrarial marriages
because they present extra prob
Irms which may b. almost InSur-
ulDuntAble In the civilization Of
to-day"
However. many Of the students
on the campus took a different
attitude toward the couples en-
gRgemsnt. They expressed the
opinion that II WAS McAiIester's
and Miss CrInninEhAm's own bust
ness.

For years Dabney had lived
close TO nature. Relgiously every
morning he went through an
elaborate set of physical or set
ting up exercises. He was proud
Of the fact that he could bend and
touch his toes a score of times in
succession. He watched his diet
carefully ate nuts and raisins and
various simple foods most Of the
time. doing much OF his cooking
on a stove he kept in his office
rather than in his elaborate
BeeCher Avenue mansion.
A devotce OF fine art, he owned
a painting by Duncanson, the
Cincinnati Negro painter, perhaps
the earliest Negro exponent OF
fine arts. The Art Museum at the
University OF Cincinnati owns
most of the other DuncansOns
Another of his prize possessions
was a painting by Henry Ossawa
Tanner.
The Dabney library was ranked
among the two or three most ex-
tensive libraries owned by Ne
groes. He was especially proud Of
the extensive section on erotica.
Dabney was a member of the
Crescent club and the Muselit
club. Washington. He was an in
dependent in politics.
He IL survived by his widow.

short illness.
Dabney succumbed TO cOmplica-

an extent that doctors at the hos

aged Dabney suffered a relapse
and died Just three hours after

tives that ne would be allowed TO

closing year OF the Civil War.
Dabney became a writer, must
clan, politician. composer, his
torian and editor for nearly 40
years of Cincinnati's one-man
weekly newspaper, The Union, q
unique journalistic venture. His
death closes one Of the most
colorfIil chapters in Negro
journalism. The Union was char
acteriEed by its witty and poig-
nant editorial style.
After being graduated from the
Richmond high school in 1883,
Dabncy went to Oberlin college
for a year, taught school at
Richmond for eight years, and
then conducted his own music
studio In Boston for several
years.
He came to Cincinnati in 1894

others trained.
Dabney later venturcd into the
music field and organized a
mixed colored and white orrhrs-
ira. He became a music teacher

two StaIIo daughters, both Of
whom later married European
princes.

Republican party political rallies
the Dumas house later was sold
TO the president OF the Western
and Southern Life Insurance COM

OF all the positions which he
held, Dahney perhaps liked the
head paymastership Of Cincinnati
best. While serving as paymaster
he estimated that he had paid out
about $50. 1000, 900.

satile person spread throughout
the country. He had been the sub
iect Of many articles by such not
