Jaatee FJEVV HOSPITAL FOR COLORED PEOPLE Movement Started in Durham for The Erection of a $50,- 000 Institution more than tcs centurie age aad the trt was brought to Europ ia th tkir- teentk century. " .. . - . . Newa and Observer Bureau, First National Bank Building. By 8, R. WINTERS. Durham, reb. 1C Plan were inaugu rated here thia afternoon for erect ing a 950,000 hospital for the colored people of the Bute. The hospital will probably be the most pretentious of the aort la the South for negroes. The man aloa aad estate of the late A. H. Stokes, brother-la law of Benjamin N. Duke, were purehued yesterday and th Dur ham Loan and Trust Company made t nitres for the leading colored eitisens of the city. The purchase price wa tt00 for the aite of four acres. The location ia just outside of the corporate limits aad to the south of the city. ' Iar. A. M. Moore, John Merrick, C. C. fepauldlng. Prof. W. G. Pearson, J. hL Avery and other wealthy colored eitiaeaa of Durham are identified with the undertaking. The statement of the hopes aad plans as outlined by a lead lag capitalist of Durham a. 9 described la tha following write-up: "The transfer yestehray of the Stoke mansion and grounds to the Durham LoaR and Trust Co- trusts. for eer tain leading colored citizens, mark tha becianing of a movement for the estab lishment at Durham of the greatest hospital for colored people in the South, and possibly la the entire country. The toke property cTtnaiau or .. complete square of land, comprising four acres. thieklv set with besutiful oaks, well sodded with grass and laid out in beau tiful drices. The large, spactou rest dence and attractive grounds wore the pride and glory, of the Into A. 11 Stokes, one of the builders of Ihirhum. "The present Lincoln Hoapitnl waa built sixteen years ago, through the generous donations of Messrs. J. li. and B.' K Duke. At the titti of its erec tion it waa a great step for the ad- caavement of the colored people of the city and county of Durham and, during its sixteen yeara of usefulness it has done wonders to alleviate the burdens of sickness of the colored people. Owing to the great increase in the population of Durham and the increased use of the hospital by the colored people the accommodations at the Lancoin Hos pital have become entirely inadequate. Today it ia crowded to tne limn, ana sick people are suffering unnecessarily. For several years it board of trustees haa been considering the enlargement of ita building in order to meet the constantly- -increasing requlrements-of the colored people. On account or the crowded condition of the buildings around the hospital and the poor means of transportation to the hospital it was quickly realised that a new ana largjr aite must be secured. The aew hospital for the eolored peo ple, ob a proper site, 1 one of the great pressing needs of Durham, and it is believed that our large-minded people, both white aad eolored, will face the situation bravely and raise sufficient fuads for making the great new hos pital a reality. Already a number of our liberal minded people have gladly expressed their desire to contribute to the fund. A subscription for si.iKW from on of our publie-apirited eiti xen has already been secured for the new hospital, and assurances hav come from many other source that othel larg subscriptions will come In aa quickly as steps can be taken to or ganize a campaign to raise funds. "The greater Lincoln Hospitsl idea strike close to the hearts of the peo ple of Durham, both white and colored. and in the near future we can look for ward to the realisation of our hopes in thia direction. The great new Lincoln Hospital will do for the eolored people of Durham county and vieinity what the great Watte Hospital 1 doing for the wnlt people.

By H. E. C BRYANT. (Special Leased Wire.) Washington, Feb. 16. Representatives Moore and Calloway, who have charged on the floor of the House that news papers of America are subsidized to promote the war spirit in this country, refused today to give the names of any papers or representatives of paper said to bs controlled or influenced to color reports .from the war tone in Europe. Mr. loore said that he repeated what Mr. Calloway inserted in the Record under leave to print, and thinks it is up to the Democratic leaders to au thorize an investigation so that the farts can be brought out. "I want the lA mocrats to inquire into the serious allegation made by Mr. Cal Inwitr. one nt their number." said Mr. Moore. "An investigation should begnJ on that side of the House. I do not blame The World for wanting the truth the names of the papers. I am an old newspaper man and know that this charge Should be cleared up." . Mr. CaHoway refused to name a single one of the 25 newspapers that he said were influenced to color new , about the war 'in Europe and to promote the war spirit in the United States. H said that his informant cannot be named until he has the protection of a com mittee of Congress. He mid be would furnish the name of the man who told him to an investigating committee but not to any newspaper. The story that Mr. Calloway dignified by .embodying it in his remarks In the Congresaional Record hna been floating aliout Washington for a year or longer. Little navy advocates of Congress have told it in committee rooms and cloak rooms. All efforts to got the name of the papers said to be guilty of selling out have failed. The story is not be lieved by many Congressmen. - Majority Lender Kitchln just 'before he became leader, said that he would not yield to the munitions fwtoriesor ship building plants and the war-mad press, and votefor a large navy pro gram. Ho said privately that many of the papers advocating expensive pre paredness measures were evidently dominated by the munitions interests. Other Congressmen have had like stories. Mr. Calloway waa the first to make anything like specific charges. He said he would ask for an investigation hut he goes out March 4, and could not follow it up. - Representative Tvenner, of Illinois. admitted today that he bad been askedM to introduce a resolution calling for an Investigation of the, papers. "It was suggested to me by some one," taid Mr. Tavonner, "that I should in clude in my resolution to investigate munition makers, appropriation for the investigation of charges to that effect that 5 newspaper hav been de liberately bought that their editorial opinion had been bought aad paid for 'iy munitions makers. However,' my ex perience as a newspaper man on va rious large city newspaper make me 'ncredulous. I do not intend to offer inch a resolution unless some more defi nite information is produced. I cannot Relieve that such a thing has taken place." n . Senator Stone joined the critics 15? the press today. During the discussion, of the "spy" bills in the Senate today he said he wanted Congress to take measures to prevent the press from making false statements intended to influence the American government in he present erisis. -"A cabal of great newspaper," he, as serted, ."is trying to force the United States into war with one of the bellig erents. I believe that a man who make a false statement-in the press for the sake of unduly influencing the conduct of the government, is a public enemy."

"I think that there can be no doubt that the press of the country nre coloring the new that they print in favor of the entente allies. Although, of course, I have no proof of this Tieing done as a result of a sub sidy by foreign- interests. I" think it ia Indisputable that the newspaper are carrying headlinea which are calculated to inflame- the- people, and which are not justified by the news itself. As proof, I would analyze almost any copy of a metropolitan paper, which would show that the news is being colored." Meyer London, New York: "The charges that the press of the nation has been bought by foreign gold and lucre ia a bad symptom of national hysteria. I don't believe that it is true. On can explain the pro-ally tone of th Ameri can newspapers by the ties of race, lit erature and institutions that bind ns to England, and in a less degree to France. What I do object to in the newspapers is the attitude assumed by editors of dictating to members of Con gress what they shall say and do. But this la not a question of venality." Representative Doughton: "It is the general impression that newspapers are' coloring the news which they print. I think this is indisputable. I havs as evidence, hhwever, of any conspiracy oa the port of war munition interests to buy . the press in order to; carry on a propaganda to involve the country ia war."
