ing I found that Braxton Jowers was suing the Western Union Telegraph Company for transmitting an incorrect message. I also read that William Glenn would defend him. Being very anxious to see my classmates, I went to the trial. George Swanson had become a judge of high rank and presided over the trial. In the jury box sat Arthur Hollins, W. H. Hazeley,3 Harry Holt, Wilbur Hollins, Howard Powell, Murray Lee, Frank Lewis, - Benjamin Davie and Macedonia Lee. William Glenn proved to be such a wonderful lawyer. that he not only won the case but the defendant was awarded $50,000 damage. Before leaving Washington I was forced to visit Freedmanis Hospital..u I was very glad as well as surprised to Iind Ruth Peters head nurse. I algoL found Ora Ousley, chief dietitian; Eva Franklin, head of operating room; Emma Linpscomb, teacher of bacteriology; Emma Easley, teacher off Chemistry and Lottie Walters one of the night nurses. J I could hardly have left Washington without visiting Howard Univers sity. James Roberts, the president of this university, had become nation-- ally known and had accomplished many great educational achievements; I discovered on the faculty of this great institution, Alberta Benjamin, a professor of Home Economics; Sallie Brown, Head of the Department of: English; Maxine J ohnson, a professor of biology ; Adeline Campbell, a prof. fessor of Psychology. I was also very interested to know that Hattie; Wright was secretary to the president. On leaving Washington, I went to Nashville and visited Fisk. University. I found that Morris Ware had become its efficient president. Bertha Harris and Alma Price were instructors in the Department of Edn- cation in this institution. I left Nashville and went to Tampa, Florida, where I was delighted to visit the most modern and beautiful hotel in the United States. This es- tablishment was owned by Lucile Brooks, Willie Backstrom and Lillian Galoway. I was surprised to hnd Blanche Nivens, who had recently mar- ried Edgar Moore stopping at this hotel. That night, Mr. and Mrs. Moore: and I decided to go to a theatre. To my surprise, who should come dancing; and singing on the stage but Minnie Mason, Arlene Jones and Alma Jones: of the Mason-Jones Stock Company. The next month found me in Pasadena, California. Here I found Hen- ry Williams, a promising young lawyer and his recent bride, Julia Jenkins; accumulating wealth and fame. I also found that Elizabeth Oliver, Blanche Thompson and Inez Manning had become great movie stars. While in Pas- adena, it was my pleasure to hear John Sturdivant sing. This young man was considered by musical critics as having a voice superior to that of En- rico Caruso. On leaving Pasadena, I returned to my orphanage in Atlanta, having had both a prohtable and pleasant trip. NINETEEN H U1 TDEED TWEN TY -N I N E
