JEW SAYS PYTHIANS
SHOULD SHUN ST. LOUIS.
ColumPus, Ohio, March 17.—A very
prominent Jewish citizen here, when i
he read in the telegraphic news of the
daily papers that St. Louis had passed
two segregation ordinances by a vote
of more than fifty thousand to seven
teen thousand, remarked: “The Col
ored Knights of Pythias who voted at j
their grand lodge meeting in this city :
last August to meet in St. Louis year
after next, should now rescind that ac
tion. They ought to say to the city
of St. Louis: ‘If your electors vote to
segregate our race then we will re
taliate by not holding our Supreme
Lodge meeting in your city; we will
decline to go to St. Louis.’
Continuing, this Jewish citizen said:
"Why should a great Colored organ
ization go to a city to expend at least
five hundred thousand dollars the
week of its meeting when that city
has insulted the race by passing an
unjust, un-American and damnable
anti-race ordinance. No other race,
if your race accepts it, would carry its
funds to be emptied into the pockets
of a city that adopts a segregation or
dinance. If such an ordinance had
been adopted to affect the Germans,
Irish, Italians or Jews they would have
promptly boycotted the city adopting
it.
ALLIES ENLIST 300,000 BLACKS.
Berne, Switzerland,—An Italian
diplomat, who recently returned from
Africa and passed through Switzer
land on his way to Paris and London,
reports that the French and English
governments are raising a large army
of Negroes in their African colonies.
The diplomat states that the French
have already obtained more than 300,
000 Colored recruits. This army, ac
cording to his statement, will be
trained in Morocco, Algiers and Tunis,
and is to be brought to the western
theatre of war next July or August,
England, the diplomat says, is also
organizing a large Negro army, but
only a part of these troops will be
brought to Europe to fight against the
Germans. About 100,000 men are to
be used to conquer German East Af
rica and to keef^ the Soudanese in
check should they support the Ger
mans.
DELIVERY BOY ASSERTS
WHITE LADS ROBBED HIM.
Atlanta, Ga., March 17.—George
Crittendon, 16 years old a Colored de
livery boy for the Camp Grocery com
pany, reported to the police Thurs
day, March 2, that he had been held
up and robbed of $3 belonging to the
store. The robbery took place at
Pine and Peachtree streets and he
calims that he was robbed by two
white boys. It is the belief of the
police that a gang of white boys are
making a practice of robbing Colored
messenger boys.
THE WILL IN WILSON.
No matter how much Democratic
“statesmen” may froth at the mouth
when they speak of Roosevelt and
Root, they must concede the fact that
it is the sayings of these two men
which, more than anything else, put
the will in Wilson.—Evening Sun.
THE NEGRO IS AN AMERICAN.
Under the caption “Aiding the Ne
gro,” a correspondent of the New York
Herald of February 20 writes:
“Yes, why can’t we have Colored
help, with their happy, cheerful faces ?
Why must we be always confronted
with squirming foreigners, half of
whom cannot speak a word of Eng
lish, and treat you with a condescen
sion which is an insult?
“Why are all the hotels, at least
most of them, closed to the Colored
people ? Is it because the proprietors
are foreigners and employ their own
countrymen In that case they show
more patriotism than we do. The Ne
groes are American; we brought them
here, and we should give them employ
ment at something besides street
cleaning.”
HOWARD GRADUATES
MAKE GOOD.
Chicago, March 17.—On February
29 and March 1 the state board gave
an examination for lawyers. There
were 187 applicants, 87 of whom
passed, and 70 of whom were resi
dents of Chicago. Six race men took
this strenuous examination, and four
of the six who passed were Howard
university graduates. They were:
Martin Barklay, L. H. of class ’15;
Martin Pollard, '15; Charles Brana
day, ’12; Wm. King, T2. This alone
speaks well of Howard university,
and the fact that some of these
men are recent graduates and took
this test for the very first time proves
not only the worth of the school as a
whole to the race but shows very
clearly the thorough training given
to its student body.
PHILADELPHIANS TO
RAISE $50,000 FUND.
Philadelphia, Pa., March 17.—Col
ored citizens of Philadelphia have
started a campaign to raise $50,000
for the Booker T. Washington Me
morial Fund, and the day of Sunday,
March 29, has been set apart for the
collection of the fund.
The local committee in charge of
the movement consists of Bishop L. J.
Coppin, E. C. Brown, banker; Dr.
Harry M. Minton, the Rev. P. A. Wal
lace, Dr. A. B. Jackson, A. P. Caldwell,
editor The Courant; Counselor G. Ed
ward Dickerson and the Rev. W. F.
Graham.
HOTEL BURNS AT ST. LOUIS,
St. Louis, Mo., March 17.—A fire
of unknown origin partly destroyed a
Colored hotel in Market street here
early Monday morning, February 28.
The guests were aroused and all es
caped injury. The damages were
$1,000.00.
MUST HANG ON APRIL 21.
Joliet, 111., March 17.—“Chicken
Joe” Campbell, the Colored convict
found guilty of murdering Mrs. Odette
M. Allen, wife of the former warden
of the state penitentiary here, was
last Friday sentenced to be hanged on
good Friday, April 21.
