daughter of Ed Bolden Manager of
the famous Hllldale Ball Team ap-
pointed as valedictorian. Is the ob-
ject of the threatened -'strike" ' by
more than half the members of the
Darby High school graduating class.
Seniors admit that Hilda Bolden
attained the highest scholastic
standing but oharged the board
failed to take the student Into
their confidence .In changing thqj
standard on which appolntmeiu ot a
valedictorian Is based. Heretofore
according to the Insurgent group.
the board took into consideration
he activity of the eligible students
along extra curriculum lines. In ad-
dition to scholastic attainment.
Early during the school year now
ending it Is said the board voted
to name as valedictorian of the
class the student who had attain-
ed the highest grades. This action
was not made known to the stu-
dents until a month ago and was
followed shortly by announcement
that Hilda Bolden would be valedic-
torian of the class.
The dissatisfied element of the
senior class and student body claims
the honor should have gone to Polly
Baccini A white girl who. In addi-
tion to earning high marks In her
studies was for three years a mem-
ber and this year captln of the
hockey team secretary of student
government secretary of the Ath-
letic Association editor of the White
Bulletin the student publication and
president of the Art club.
Polly who was named salutatorian
said today she herself expects to at-
tend the commencement exercises
and claims the attitude of many of
her supporters Is indicative of "poor
sportsmanship" "I do not" she says
"and am sure most of the others
who are protesting do not begrudge
Hilda Bolden the honor because her
grades were really highest
'This is a school which all races
are free to attend and where they
should receive equal treatment. To
embarrass Hilda Bolden Is poor
sportsmanship."
Hilda doesn't blame Polly for the
spirit In the ranks of the graduating
class.' "It la a most unfortunate oc-
curence" she said "but I hope that
by the time commencement la held
the class will be reunited In spirit
The board found after figuring it
out that I had the highest number
of credits and received 'E's' all
through the four years In all ex-
cept three subjects. Eighty credits
are needed for graduation and I re-
ceived 117."
Walter R. Douthett superinten-
dent of the Darby school said so far
as ha knows the board Will stand
by Its ruling and the matter la a
"closed incident" "I announced the
change' in the board's rule for
chotct of a valedictorian" said Con-
rad T. Wadllo principal of the high
school today "and that rule ap-
parently stands."

CLOSING DAYS OF TABORIAN LODGE FULL OF
INTEREST. REPORTS OF
AUSTIN. TEXAS July 6 From
the day of the election of officers
when the voice of the people de-
clared that Rev. J. S. Adair was the
one to lead Tabor for another year
till the close of the grand lodge on
last Thursday there waa no hint of
any discord or factionalism large
enough to be spoken of. Things mov-
ed smoothly and swiftly and the
lodge as a result of the speed with
which the work was accomplished
was able to complete its (business a
day sooner than was expected.
All of the working committees of
the grand lodge were appointed
soon after the election on last Tues-
day. They at once went out and be-
gan their work. This together with
the splendid lectures of the public
health department of the city of
Austin took up the time of the re
mainder of Tuesday. On Tuesday
night the memorial services were
held and during the sermon which
was delivered spiritual fervor ran
high.
Secretary Washington Makes Renert
The most heartily cheered report
of the whole grand lodge was that
of Prof Jesse Washington who dur
ing tho past ten months has A?te1
as Grand Scribe of the Order. Mxed
in with the figures which indicated
the true condition of the Order he
gave bits of lecture that wore both
Inspiring and educative.
His report came Just after the
body had adopted the minutes of the
previous day In which the accounts
of the election of officers was con
tatned by the overwhelming major
ity of 410 to 68.
More than onca the audience fore
ed Prof. Washington to stop In the
making of his report He plead for
the close applicaton of the lodge to
a course of business efficiency that
would result In greater financial
well being and Increased prestige.
1 His report showed that the af
affairs of the lodge in spite of the
tremendous strain under which it
had operated for the last few
months duo to the pressure of court
proceeding and other things which
had made it necessary that the
forces (be divided were In splendid
shape. Income from property rents

Grand Mentor Has Done Good Work
Though not couched in the form
of a regular address the report of
the Chief Grand Mentor J. S. Adair
showed that the work done by him
during the year was tha best ever.
It generally happens that in years
when there Is great internal strife
la orders of various kinds there is
not much growth. This was not the
case with Tabor During the year
there were thirteen new Temples
and twenty-one new Tabernacles
opened with a total membership of
more than three thousand members
The department of the Daughters
also showed great growth.
The report of Grand Medical Ad-
lor J. W. Frldla showed that there
had been 3420 applications sent into
the office of which number 8S28
admitted and the remainder rejected.
The net - gain over last year waa
159. The total number of men ac
cepted was I00 and of women
2262.
The report of the Grand Treasurer
O. M. Mayfield corroborated in every
detail the report of Grand Scribe
Washington. It showed - that the
Order had In banks $43461.59 and
In the Tent department $17864.17.
Reports of Rheatlng Fnlae
Thre was a report current on
Thursday morning to the effect that
on Wednesday night there bad been
some trouble at the grand lodge
that resulted In a shooting scrape.
It was so published in the morning
paper of Austin and spread over
the country through the public
press. This report was erroneously
given publicity. There was a shoot-
ing affray on the streets of Austin
during tho grand lodge but those
who participated In it . were not
members of tho order or connected
with It in aay way.

Austin Makes Stay of Delegates
Pleasaat '
Through the local entertainment
commlteee of Austin of which Dr.
Evertee Glvens was chairman and
the interest of Rev. L. L. Campbell
who was also a member of the com-
mittee the city of Austin offered tp
the grand lodge the best sort of
entertainment that has ever fallen
to its lot during Its sessions. Every
courtesy was extended to it Its del-
gates and grand lodge officers took
advantage af the opportunity to aee
Austin. The ride took them around
the business district of the city past
the Confederate home and Camp
Mabry and the asylum and the beau
tiful Austin dam.
Tho trio of the delegates was
supervised by Dr. Given and Rev.
Campbell. .
Another very helpful and instruc
tive feature of tho things that Aus-
tin .offered to the delegation was
a series of health lectures and
demonstrations. On each day of the
grand lodge representatives of the
Health Department of Austin came
to the grand lodge and gave talks
on health and home nursing and
care of babies. .
The one most Interesting was that
on the care and bathing of the
baby. A complete demonstration was
given beginning with the prepara
tlon of the bath and ending with the
proper way in which to put the baby
to sleep after its bath. Many Ques
tions as to various things concern'
ing the demonstration proved Its In
test to those who listened.
Closing Day full of Interest
Thursday was the last day of the
grand lodge and it was crowded with
the accomplishment of all of the un
finished business. The final reports
of all of the committee were heard
and all of them adopted. The re-
port which caused the greatest
amount of discussion was that of
the resolutions committee which
among the other things recommend
ed proposed that the grand lodge
tax be twenty-five eeats a quarter
instead of the seventy eight cents

here. Writing the" convention from
Race point of view the conven
tion could be described In a few
words; there are no Colored dele
gates in attendance. While there are
none of our delegates "among
those present" there are a number
of nationally known characters in
New York for the convention. ;
Peeking Into the transformed
barn like Madison Square Garden
one is forced to mark the striking
contrast to Convention Hall In Cle-
veland where the Republica Conven-
tion was held.
In Madison Sq. thehe Is a vast sea
of white faces. In Cleveland there
was a goodly sprinkling or colored
faces. But Madison Square Garden
has long since taken on the "South-
ern" aspect that holds good during
the Democratic Convention for it

Kates gathered here by the big
Democratic show there may possi-
bly be one; Mr. Paul Collins who
will sit as an actual delegates and
note as such. Dr. Collins who halls
originally from California Is a prac-

an office in Harlem. He was selected
as an alternate delegate from the
21st Congressional District the

SHOOTING FALSE
formerly Its Introduction was the
cause for a lengthy discussion which
was ended only when the Grand
Mentor spoke In its favor and ex
plained that it was impossible to
operate the gran.; lodge properly
without its passage. It was then
adopted by a vote of 305 to 196.
Other resolutions called for the
making of Taborlan headquarters at
Corslcana thanking the citizens of
Austin for their hospitality making
It possible for the Grand Mentor to
oust all refractory members of the
Grand Lodge and to do all that was
necessary for the preservation of the
dignity of the Order.
Every one of the resolutions pro
posed was adopted by the lodge.
Express Editor Sneaks
During the closing hours of the
grand lodge Editor Rice of The
Express the only representative or
the Negro press on the grounds was
introduced and asked to speak. lHs
remarks occupied only flve minute
In which he complimented 'the Ta-
borlans for the remarkable showing
made the past time In spite of the
difficulties that had beset the lodge.
He nald a special compliment to
Chief Mentor Adair when he said
that "In the choice of thlsman to
lead you you have done a great
thing for yourselves and those who
will come after you. He was demon
strated his ability to lead you into

a Colored man win cast a vote in
In a National Democratio Conven
tion.
The Outstanding Feature
Perhaps the outstanding feature
of the whole convention Is one
which most of the people of our
race probably missed. That was
the pinning on the breast of a
Colored man an honor medal won
for bravery. This occurred during
the gigantic parade of New York
City police fireman and street clea
ners. Each of those departments
have a separate yearly parade but
as a fitting convention show May-
or Hylan decreed that three would
combine this year. Police fireman
and members of the Street Cleaning
Department who distinguish them-
selves during the year are rewarded
with medals ot honor and these are
pinned on them by the mayor on the
annual occasion of that departments
parade.
Accordingly the mayor proudly
pinned medal of honor on men of
the... police and tlr i (JotiartmentB.
Whn the heroea of the utreet
Cleaning Department came four of
them one of the heroes was a Col
ored . man Howard Burgunday of
1744 Atlanta Avenue Brooklyn.
While driving his horse near a hos
pital In Brooklyn recently. Bur-
gundy discovered the place on fire.
Ringing in an alarm he manned a
hose and fought the. fire until the
fireman arrived. He then assisted
the doctors at risk of his life In-
removing patients. By his prompt
and timely action no live were lost
Without his action many lives
would certainly have been lost
One of the outstanding character
present for the convention Is Titus
Alexander of Lo Angelea. Out In
his home city Alexander is one of
the most respected citizens and a
prosperous business man. His homo
newspaper thought so well of him
that on the front page of a recent
issue they carried his picture In a
six inch double column cut. Here
In New York the special duty of
Alexander has been to be door man

ial California!! hare remarked on
the Intimacy he has displayed with
the big figures in the Democratic
Party. Yet Titus is Just door man
after all.
Then there is the Chicago party.
