REV. DR. BOYD'S FUNERAL.
Sad T lines at Nashville Distinguish- I
ed Baptist Divine Laid Away
Forever.
Nashville, Tenn., Auy?. -S.? (Special.)?"The
tallest tree in the Baptist
forest has fallen; the long expected
has transpired; the Grand Old
Jilan lias left \ls."
All that was mortal of the late
Richard Henry Boyd was placed in
a vault this city and is resting out
at Greenwood Cemetery, after impressive
services were held over the
remains in the -Ryan Auditorium, the
largest public building in the city.
While it was the desire of the family
that the funeral he as simple as possible,
the service of the deceased, the
sphere that he had filled in the race
and denominational ranks made this
desire in its entirety impossible, as
there wore representatives from both
races fmm various sections of the
United -States who had come to pay
special homage and to add their testimonies
to the life and work of the
deceased.
I The funeral oration was delivered
by l>r. L. L. Camnhelh the nresident
of the Missionary Baptist State Convention,
(if Austin, Tox., who had
known Dr. Boyd from boyhood and
whom Dr. Boyd had broupht into the

RICHMOND, VII
NEW SHORTER HALL TO BE
READY JUNE, 1923.
More Funds Needed to Complete
Building?First Story Finished?
Costs $20,000 Per Month in Erection.
(Preston News Service.)
Winborforce, 0M Sept. 0.?The
contract for the erection of a new
Shorter Hall on the site of the old
building erected 57 years ago and
burned down last winter has been
awarded to I). \V. McCJrath & Sons,
who have been working on the new
structure for the past three months.

. niiiiMiiii; in CUIupiUieU up \ O
this second story, and it is expected
that the workmen will reach the third
story hy Thanksgiving, if the work is
not hindered for lack of finances.
In a statement issued by Bishop
Joshua 11. Jones, chairman of the
Trustee Hoard, he says: "The erection
of the building will cost $300,000.
It is a lireproof structure, built
of brick, stone and steel. Modern in
every respect. It will b a live-story
structure and will contain ofliees for
the university executives. twontv.?iv
class rooms, commodious music and
science departments, dining hall with
seating capacity of 1,000, an aiulitorium
with seating capacity of '2,m)0
and dormitory for the accommodation
of *150 girls. We expect to hold
our next commencement exercises in
this building.
"To finance this great enterprise is
the biggest burden, all things considered,
that has fallen to our race.
We have been building daily for the
pant three months, i t a cost of $20,000
per month, all lstbor and matviial
to this time paid .for. The building
is now above the first story and jiressing
hard in the second fioor.
"Hishops Coppxn, Conner and
Heard are my associates in this great
task. 1 have every reason to believe
that they will give the largest possible
co-operation ?nd sympathetic encouragement.
About $50,000 of the
IIIOIU'V hi lifirv'l 1 - ----- * ?

the small Third Episcopal district,
and we are neither daunted nor tired.
We need the aid of the wlivde connection
and need it. immediately. The
trustees of Wilherforce University
cover the win le connection, which
constitutes the controlling party.
Control and responsibility are correlatives,
hoth morally and economically,
and the .exercise of raie predicates
the exercise of the other. The
assumption and exercise of control,
while neglecting the responsibility to
support, is to be scorned by every
manly man. Control witbwit responsibility
cancels the right of control.
By inexorable law the whole church
must help rebuild Wilherforce. Will
you do it? Will you Tcmidiatc a
duty?
"We, therefore, beg ali the bishops,
general officers, mii'ristrs and
laymen to souil in their contributions
at once, so .that the w?rl> on new
Shorter Hall may not stop nor languish.
We beg .that you .dt not wait
nor delay in making your personal
sacrifice in helping us prost .-ute this
work to completion.
"The furnishings of the building
will require $100,000 in addition to
the cost of crection. We nc-i, therefore,
askinir the church ts* iv?n mi ?
'collection of half a millioD dollars
for the placing of real old Wilberforce
at the head of the ea umn in
the educational march of the race.
We believe that .-all lovers of Negro
education, regardless of denomination,
will help us in this enterprise.
Send us such amount as yon have
ability to contribute."

SENATOR TOWNSEND DENIES
STORY THAT HE HAS NOT
WORKED FOR DYER BILL.
Characterizing as untrue a special
dispatch to the Detroit Evening
1 News-Journal of August 26th, in
whirl) .T11 v (1
( - ?. I, t? tlDIIIU^tWIl
correspondent of that newspaper, deI
claivd that the Dyer Anti-Lynehing
15ill was not constitutional and that
it ras being used solely as a politi.
ca3 means of holding the Negro vote
in line until after the November elec;
tiuns, Senator Charles E. Townsend,
of Michigan, has wired the National
. Association for (he Advancement o'i
iOolored People to deny the implications
made in the story. The dispatch,
which is quite lengthy, declares
that it is tlie opinion of the
writer that delay by the Senate in'
acting on this measure is predicted
on the belief that the ollicc of the
Attorney General of the United
i States tloes not believe the bill to be
constitutional, although the writer of
! the dispatch must or should have
; known that a large part of the favor
able report of the Senate Judiciary
i Committee was given over to a
lengthy opinion of the Attorney Geni
eral that the Dyer bill is constitu1
tional. The dispatch further states
> that a number "of Republican Sena,
tors who are candidates for re-election
are badly scared. Many of them,
as in the case of Senator Charles E.
Townsend in Michigan, pledged
themselves to vote for the AntiLynching
Rill many months ago; but
they have not lifted their voice in
the Senate in favor of it, nor otherwise
have made any effort to bring
about its consideration."
The N. A. A. C. I'. immediately
sent a copy of this news story to
Senator Townsend and asked him if
he cared to comment on the statements
made therein. He immediately
wired a reply, addressed to Walter
I<\ White, assistant secretary of the
N. A. A. C. P., as follows:
"I have your courteous favor of
the 13th with newspaper clipping in
the form of an article by one Jay G.
Ilayden, who is very much interested
in mv rlofnnl ;m<l ivlm I
late to say things 'calculated to em-j
barrasa me. The Dyer bill lias bean
reported by the Committee on the
Judiciary of the Senate and is now
011 the calendar. There has been
absolutely no opportunity to call it
up. Mr. llayden and everybody else
at all familiar with the circumstances
know that this bill will call for a
good deal of debate. They also know
that while the special matters are
pending before tho Senate we cannot
call up anything that will detract in
any way from the consideration of
these other matters and at this time
of election when every member of
the House and one-third of the Senate
are up for re-election and in the
midst of their campaigns, no new
controverted matter can be taken up.
No one was more active than 1 was
in getting this bill reported out of
tho Judiciary Committee and placed
on the Senate calendar, and no one
will be more active in securing its ;
adoption by the Senate at the earliest >
possible moment. I am for the bill, j
believing it to be constitutional and ,
just."
