Charge Americans Commit
rv Offenses In Haiti A.
M. . Minister Returned
From Long Stay Tells of De-
plorable Conditions in Negro
State;
The Rev. S. E. Churchstone-
Lord pastor of the' A. M. E.
Church at Port au Prince Haiti
is in the United States as a del-
egate to the General Conference
which meets in May. He has been
in Haiti for a number of years
and is thoroughly conversant
with conditions in that country
both before and since the present
American occupation.
In conversation with an Age
representative the Rev. Mr.
Lord declared that the present
condition of unrest and dissat-
isfaction in Haiti is due primar-
ily to acts of the American rep-
resentatives. The charge is
made directly that many of the
man making up the army of oc-
cupation have been guilty of the
most henious crimes against the
natives. According to the min-
ister it is a common sight to
see the men in company with
young i. i.'e gir taking them
to put of the way places and as-
saulting them and in many in-
stances .causing their death.
Dr. Lord declared that he was
authorized by the Haitian peo-
ple to say to colored American
citizens that their friendship
w'as greatly desired. It was set
'up as one of the paramount
needs of the little Negro repub-
lic that a large number of Amer-
ican Negroes including business
men and women industrial
teachers and social workers
should come into Haiti and work
among the people. Dr. Lord
condemns in no uncertain man-
ner the conduct of America in
its attitude toward the people.
The most serious charge mrde
against the American sailois
w3 that in one night nine little
girls. 8 to 12 yearn old died
us a result of bunig raped by
American sailors. The further
charge is made that members
of the native constabulry are
compelled by the white ollicers
to proceure native women for U3e
of the whites as concuoinces.
At the annual convention of
the Mite Missionary Society of
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church Mrs. Ophelia Lawrence
president held at the Emanue1
A. M. E. Church West 62nd
street New York Dr. Lord de-
livered an address in which he
spoke in detail of Haitian con-
ditions both social and politi-
eal. He said in nart:
"It would be a better policy
on the part of the American ad-
ministration to win the friend-
ship of the Haitians than to beat
them into submission. The
Haitians want the friendship of
the American people but now
distrust 5s everywhere. They
want no military occupation.
They want and have begged me
tn hjiv in von that they want
an American army of colored
teachers and business men and
women with new ideas for their
regeneration. They want back
their government for the Haiti-
ans who plotted to bring foreign
control are now dead.

honored in a manner similar to
that in which the heroes of the
Arena in the early Christian
days were glorified.
Under the observance of a
mist solemn ritual Pope Bene
diet :s.v. on those days pro
claimed to the assembled con-
gregation and to the world that
the J martyrs of Uganda had
been raised to the ranks of the
lilesstd. These young men were
pageb to King Muanga. Because
of their firm refusal to deny
ohrisu and to do homage to the
tetiohc's or their pagan urethral
l'J ot tnar number were burned
to death and nine suffered mar-
tyrdom in various ways. The
event transpired in 1880.
The holemn ceremonies whicn
marked the beatification of these
African youths in recognition ot
their Christian fortitude were
prefaced by a most careful in-
vestigation into all the circum
stances connected with then
Catholic churcn
in the
ition and

Beatification" in tho Catho
lic Church is the act by which
the Pope of Rome decrees the
title of Blessed to one already
known as a venerable servant of
God. It gives leave in specified
places of public liturgical hon-
ors to be given to those who have
been declared Blessed. It is a
preparation for canonization ;
and implies that the servant of
God has led a life of heroic sanct-
ity that at his intercession mir-
acles have been wrought after
his death and that he enjoys
the reward of heaven.
In the Papal consistory held
on March 8th at Jtomc Pope
Benedict dwelt at length on the
glorious example of moral cour
age given by the 22 Uganda mar-
'yrs whose Christian fortitude
ie rfaid Avas worthy of emulation
by all mankind.

Thi' editor has gone to Chica-

the next President of the United
States because it is a well set-
tled fact that whoever is nom-
inated by that convention will be
elected. There are many going
from this city and county and we
hope that on the return that the
local organisation will get to
work in building up the party
and not draw the colu h.in in do-
ing so. Tt is well known that a
great body of Republican voters
have in the past been neglected
by the party managers and how
they can hope for success by
such suicidal actions is a mystery
to us. There are hundreds of
colored men and women that
have not been registered and this
should bo attended to if tho party
means really to win bin It it is
only making a bluff turn they
will do nothing to save tins vote.
It falls to us ao act as Editor
