E. Church, to discuss the best method of having the 66th Congress enforce the 15th Amendment, it was decided to appoint steering committee of five, which is to ask every organization in the city and State to name a committee of two as members of a Committee of One Hundred. The chief work of the Committee on One Hundred will be to create favorable sentiment among the citizens of the Empire State for the enforcement of the 1.5th Amendment. The meeting last Thursday week was held under the auspices of the St. Mark's Lyceum and allied organizations, and the spacious West 53rd street edifice was crowded to the doors.

Standing room was a premium. John E. Robinson, president oi the yceum, presided. Letters were read by Clinton Jlollo-way from United States Senators Lodge, Borah, Wadsworth, Calder, Frelinghuy-scn, Knox, Harding, Hon. Charles Hughes, president of the Union League Qub, and Mrs.

Carrie Chapman Catt giving their respective views on the subject. The letters from the Si-nator set forth what positions they would take in the event a bill was introduced in the next Congress to enforce the 15th Amendment, Senators Lodge, Calder and Frclinghuysen were more direct ia their answers than their colleagues. Colored and white speakers participated and were cheered in their utterances for a square deal for all colored Among the speakers were Assemblymen William C. Amos, Hon. Andrew JInmphrey, Fv.Thoma and Mrs.
