moned to the White House for con
ference with the President In spite
of the pressure of official business,
his interest in the University and his
desire to do his duty as a trustee im

Good Days for Howard University.
"My chief business in "Washington
was at Howard University, and I was
gratified to find how strongly and well
the institution is progressing under its
present leadership. D. James Stanley
Durke has been at tho helm three
years, and already has accomplished re
markable results. The times have been
difficult, involving the war period and
reconstruction, but the university ad
ministration has accomplished two very
important results. When Dr. Dnrkee
went to "Washington ho found Howard
University too much divided into its
many departments, with a dean at the
head of each acting independently and
with too little regard for the leader
ship of tho university itself. All that
has been changed, not without opposi
tion and some bitterness, but today the
institution is unified under the strong,
wise, and kindly presidency of Dr. "Dnr
kee, and efficient work is being done in
all departments."
"Tho second change of policy is in
raising the standards of scholarship and
the grado of work done in the univer
sity. All secondary school work has
been eliminated, and while this would
seem to limit the institution, it has
enrolled the past year almost twice as
many students as were enrolled- three
years ago."
"Dr. Dnrkee seems to be an ideal
university president His kindly, in
spiring personality, his unusual gifts
of management, his platform ability,
and his effectiveness as a preacher, all
count strongly. Dr. Dnrkee is fortu
nate in having as his right-hand man
Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who was formerly
in a similar position at Tuskegee In
stitute under Booker T. "Washington.
His official position is secretary-treas
urer. He is brilliant and .capable, and
has a gracious personality. .He has
been instrumental in securing snbstan
tial financial contributions to the uni
versity and his influence is being felt,
not only in strengthening Howard's
business administration, but in making
friends for it Howard university has
entered a new era and seems destined
not only to leadthe institutions of
higher learning for the colored race,
but to become one of America's great
universities."
is, indeed, a real and positive social
service.
On the staff of social workers who
devote their entire time are: Miss Grace
Lowndes, Morals Court; Mrs. Mar
garet B. ";"", Home Economics; Miss
Frances E. Addison, Boom Registry and

BRING PBESSTJBE ON CONGBESS
TO PASS ANTI-LYNCH1NG LAW.
Every colored man and woman in the
United. States who wants to see bar
baric crime of mob murder wiped out in
tbeJJnited States should, as soon as it is
announced that the Dyer Antf-rynehing
Bill is reported out and is before Con
gress, telegraph at onee to his or her
representative asking his support for
tho bin. ITever befora has an aau
lynching "bill advanced so far as this
one. Largely through the efforts of the
National Association for the Advance
ment 'of Colored, People, whose repre
sentatives have appeared at hearings in
Washington 'and conducted correspon
dence with senators and "representa
tives, there is every prospect that if
colored people "unite, the bfll may be
come law. This win put the entire
power of the federal government be
hind prosecution of mobists and lynch
ers. It is now omever, for if the pres
ent billis not enacted sueh legislation
wffl be set back for7ears to eome.
It is, therefore, not too much to urge
that every colored American citizen
apend nf ty cents or a dollar in tele
graphing to Washington in support of
this most Important measure. Ttisnow
up to the colored Americans, them
selves, -If they want this measure to
pass, it is in their power to have it. If
they fall to take united and nation
wide action, the responsibility for tho
failnre will rest squarely 'upon their
shoulders. Here is a concrete oppor
tunity for an of as churches, fraternal
orders, all organizations -and individ

SUDDEN DEATH OP MBS. B. F
MOSELE7 IN HEB LOVELY SUM
MEB HOME AT XDLEWZLD, MICH.
On Monday last Mrs. B. F. Moscley
the constant and devoted wife of tht
late B. P. Moseley, suddenly expired
in her beautiful summer home at Idle
wild, Mich. Heart failure was the im
mediate cause of her death.
Mrs. Moseley was born in New Or
leans, La., and' after graduating from
its public schools and from Poagoloo
university, she taught school for pome
years and in 1890 she was happily
united in marriage to her late hus
band, Attorney B. F. Moseley.
Shortly after their marriage Mr.- and
Mrs. Moftcley located in Montreal, Can
ada, and in the first part of 1891 they
removed to this city and from that time
to the day of their deaths they were
counted among the best and most prom
inent colored citizens residing in Chi
cago, and before passing away, the
first part of December, 1919, Mr. Mose
ley had acquired considerable valuable
real estate.
They were tho parents of three chil
dren, namely, Burton, B. F. Moseley,
Jr., and Bertha Moseley, now Mrs.
tJary B. Lewis, their two sons having
preceded their parents in death.
Mrs. Moseley is survived by her
daughter, Mrs. Cary B. Lewis; her
aged mother, Mrs. Jane Hammond, and
one brother, Mr. John Hammond. For
many years Mrs. Moseley was a de
voted member of Grace Presbyterian
church, and at 1 o'clock Friday funeral-services
were- held over her re
mains from it Bev. Moses H. Jack
son, officiated and Mrs. Clifford John
son had charge of tho funeral arrange
ments. Her remains were laid by the
side of those of her late husband in
the family lot in Lincoln Cemetery.
Aside from her relatives Mrs. Mose
ley had hosts of warm friends who la
ment her death.

CHARLES E. STUMP, THE RAMBLING
TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT
FOR THE BROAD AX, BLOWED
, INTO WILMINGTON, N. C, WHERE
HE FREELY ASSOCIATED WITH
ITS LEADING COLORED CITIZENS.
Wilmingtpn. N. C I have been
going some these days, and I want
to pay my respects to Dr. George C.
Hall, one of the greatest physicians
and surgical doctors in this country,
who has made it possible for me to
do some going, and for me to begin
to look like life instead of death.
That man knows how to listen to the
bugs, hear what they have to say,
and then knock their plans out
I was looking in the door of the
grave when I reached him. It was
Dr. H. W. Conrad who first snatched
me from death, and then I kept on
going until I reached New York and
had fallen back to where I started
almost, and' when them doctors out
there got through they turned me
over to Dr. Hall, and he has been
doing some real work. He has a sur
prise in store for the world, and he
is going to bring it to the public in
a short time now, and I am going
to tell you about him.
Yes, I have been one more going
man. "When I wrote you that other
letter I was down there in Savannah,
Ga., with them Knights there, and be
lieve me, they are some Knights. I
have told you about them, and I made
it from Savannah to Wilmington,
reaching there ahead of the Knights
so that I could find some way of
getting in and seeing what I could
see and hearing what I could hear.
Reaching Wilmington over the S.
A. L., the Rev. Dr. John E. Jackson,
pastor of St. Stephens A. M. E.
church, and one of the leading pas.
tors of North Carolina in fact, he
is the man that all of the state should
get behind for Missionary Secretary
was at the stable with his automo
bile car carriage, and toted me over
to his stopping place, or to his home
wherc'I was to hang my hat during
my stay. Dr. Jackson was as cordial
as could be in his reception and
wanted to get me something to eat
this I refused, for I am not eating
much" these days, but cutting down
on my real size.
Sunday was spent in the town, and
Saturday night I went on a mission
of getting acquainted with the city
of Wilmington, N. C, and, believe
me, honey, I got some acquainted,
for that minister did tote me in his
car some rounds. We went to the
Community hospital, which is a place
worth while, for there is where our
people are making thines come to
pass and thev arc doing it bv mil'in"
together. This is a practical demor -
stration of the doctrine of "sclf-hcln
This is an organization, and the
hospital, a three-story building,
equipped with X-ray and other things
for doing first-class work, is under
a board of directors, Dr. Foster F.
Burnett president and superintendent;
Dr. John W. Kay, assistant superin
tendent; Rev. John E. Jackson, D.
D., secretary; Rev. A. J. Wilson,
D. D., treasurer; Rev. W. H Moore.
D. D., assistant secretary; Thomas H.
Hooper, first vice-president; Julius
Murray, second vice-president; David
Bryant, third vice-president; MissJ
Georgia C King, R. N., head nurse;
Misses Anna Freeman, Cossic Free
man and Pearl Johnson, nurses. It
is indeed a busy place. They did
not start out with "help poor colored
man," but the business men headed
by Thomas H. Hooper and others
put down $7,000, purchased the lots,
erected the building, started to doing
business, and then appeared before
the city fathers, and put it right up
to them. A committee was appointed
to investigate it, and they voted to
pay to the institution $1,800 per an- history of the Njrganization. Yon

means something to the race.
Rev. A. J. Wilson, if you recall,
was chairman of the episcopal com
mittee at the general conference of
the A. M. E. church, and is now
slated for the episcopaey in 1924.
Then there is Miss Georgia C King,
a graduate registered nurse in North
Carolina, who is a remarkable little
woman. She knows b-i-z business,
and has the love and respect of all
who may know or come in contact
with her. She impressed me very
much as a painstaking nurse, and
one in whose, hands yoa may trust
yonr Bfe. She- is Jolly when no? on
duty, but, believe me, she is strictly
business when it comes to business,
and all play is put aside.
The Grand Lodge of Knights of
Pythias of North Carolina is iddeed
a business place, and they are doing
business for us as a race. At the
head is Dr. J. W. Jones, of Winston
Salem, one of the leading physicians
of the state, and a man of great
ability. He is a 'leader of men and a
great organizer. You may get an
idea when I tell you they opened at
noon Tuesday, and Wednesday eve
ning at 6 o'clock were all ready to
go home. All committees had re
ported, officers elected and installed,
Raleigh selected for the next armual
session, and "Praise God from Whom
All Blessings Flow" dished out, and
the closing prayer followed.
Now, what did they do. They spoke
right out in church, so to speak,
against wrongs which must be
righted. They told the world what
they thought about present condi
tions. Some oi the men. I met Dr.
C S. Brown, president of the Lott
Carey Missionary convention, which
will meet the last of August in New
ark, N. J.; Dr. James E. Shepherd,
grand master of Mascns of the state,
president of the National Training
school, Durham, and one of the lead
ing educators of America; Prof. J.
M. Avery, master of Exchequer, who
is also one of the officials of the
North Carolina Mutual Life Insur
ance Company, the largest and
wealthiest company belonging to the
race; Dr. A. M. Moore, president,
who was also present
Prof. Avery is not a man to make
much talk, but as deep as that place
in the ocean where the Titanic went
down, and as broad as humanity it
self. He is a scholar, a financier and
a leader. It is nice to come in touch
with this remarkable character. Prof.
J.&. Dudley, president of the A. & T.
college, Greensboro, and another re
markable educational leader of the
age, and a man who believes in doing
things. In the grand lodge were
many other doctors, lawyers, bank
ers, professors, college presidents,
editors, merchants, farmers,, clerks,
stenographers and all other kinds of
industrial and business and profes
sional men and women. I just had
to look and shout when I saw how
them educated people transacted
business and how they all pulled to-
igcther. They did not agree on all
points, but discussed them until con-
. vinccd which side was the right side
and then voted on it. One motion
elected all the officers as was done
in Georgia. I met Prof. Hannum, of
Salisbury, who just shook my lily
black hand and told me how much
he got out of reading after me.
You will perhaps be surprised to
know that since I have startld this
letter, and before I can get through
writing it, I am right in the city of
Chicago. Remarkable age in which
we live. I made it from Wilming
ton to Richmond, and going to the
office in the station stable, I asked
that man in charge to sell me a
ticket for a bed car from Richmond,
Va., to Gncinnati, Ohio, and without
a question he shelled me out the'
ticket and extracted $4.05 from my
pocket What do you think of being
able to get a bed right out of Rich
mond. Better times are coming boys,
get ready for them. Refinement and
culture must go a long ways.
