THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER L. XXIV. NO. 7 PHYSICIANS GET RAW DEAL Policy Of Discrimination Against Colored Physicians Practiced At Johns Hopkins Hospital The treatment of colored physicians visiting patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital was the subject of much discussion at the monthly meeting of the Maryland Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental Association Monday night. It was freely asserted that the treatment accorded colored physicians is not the same as it was a few years ago. Whenever there was a vacant bed in wards M and O, where colored patients are treated, the physician could easily secure accommodations for the sick. There was no trouble for the physician to be admitted to see his patient at any time and should an operation be necessary he was usually invited to witness the sam- Today there is said to be a change attitude on the part of some folks connected with the hospital. If a colored physician attempts to enter one of the wards now to see his patient he is likely to be told that he will have to go over to the superintendent's office and get a permit or wait until regular visiting hours. This latter arrangement the physicians consider a humiliation One well known physician when approached regarding the matter said: "Yes, there is some dissatisfaction among colored doctors regarding their treatment when they visit Johns Hopkins Hospital. Such men as Drs. W. S. Halstead, L. F. Barker, J. M. T. Finney and Guy L. Hunner treat the colored physician with the same courtesy that they would with any other. Johns Hopkins Hospital is one of the best in the world and that makes me more regretful of the fact that the color line is so evident there. While I have been invited to witness operations on patients sent in by me, I have not within the past year. I know of some doctors who have been invited to witness an operation and then go, only to find out that the same had been performed an hour earlier. The matter of alleged professional disrespect has been taken up with the hospital authorities by a committee appointed by us, but there has nothing definite or reassuring to us been accomplished. In fact, the replies to our queries have been in the evasive. "The colored people of this city should adequately support Provident Hospital. They can go there and be treated without having to lose their respect. I have known of a number of instances where the sick went to Washington to be treated at Freedmen's Hospital rather than suffer humiliations here. Baltimore can adequately support Provident Hospital and its citizens ought not to be behind Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities in having fine hospitals where the sick may go. Let all of the citizens rally to the aid of Provident Hospital and the physicians bury thir jealousies and Baltimoreans will not be humiliated at Johns Hopkins and other local hospitals. The physicians should send their patients to Provident Hospital rather than trying to g-t them in 'jim crow' wards in other institutions." The monthly meeting of the Maryland Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental Society was held at the residence of Dr. William T. Carr, Jr., Monday night, at which Dr. J. C. Terrell read a paper. COLORED MEN AVERT LYNCHING Armed, They Declared They Would Defend Colored Prisoner Who Was Charged With Shooting Asyrian Coatesville, Pa., October 7.—The detriment of colored residents here to fight until the last ditch saved Alexander Fisher from a probable lynching Sunday. Fisher's dog bit the infant of Assia George, a syrian. The latter became angry and kicked the dog. Fisher secured a shotgun and shot George, necessitating the amputation of one of his legs. Then a Syrian slipped up behind Fisher an stabbed him in the back. Both men were rushed to the hospital and the Syrians began to form a mob. The colored citizens, remembering the lynching of Zachariah Walk-r a few years ago, seized their guns and notified the populace that they were going to prevent any lynching. The authorities became alarmed at the threatened race outbreak and at once promised the leaders of the colored people that every protection would be accorded Fisher. They came out later Sunday night when they heard that a mob was about to besiege the hospital where Fisher was. The authorities by this time had sworn in enough deputies to prevent any stampeding around the hospital. The streets were patrolled all night and everybody on the streets watched. The two men were removed to a hospital in West Chester Monday, and there has been no trouble since. SIMONS TAKES NEW PAPER Louisville, Ky., October 7.—Roscoe Conkling Simmons has purchased the Louisville News from William Warley. Lee L.

Pickett has been appointed a member of the staff of the City Hospital. This is the first time that a local hospital has so honored a member of the race. Dr. Pickett received his medical training at the Louisville National Medical College, the Worcester Medical School at Cleveland and the Polyclinic Medical School, Chicago. PYTHIANS BANQUETTED A testimonial banquet in honor of Brig. Gen. Lewis E. Williams and Col. Truly Hatchett as given by the members of Eureka Lodge of Knight of Pythias last Thursday evening.

McCard was toastmaster. SCHOOL 112 GETS HANDSOME CUP Captain George W. Brown And Editor John H, Murphy Deliver Addresses at the Pre In the presence of patrons and friends, School No. 112 was presented the silver cup won by Forrest Browne in the city-wide spelling bee last spring. The presentation took place at Ames Memorial Church Tuesday night. The introductory address was made by Rev. A. J. Mitchell, pastor of the church. Mr. John H. Murphy made the speech presenting the cup to the school. His address teemed with practical advice to the pupils. He urged that they should strive to excel and brought home the fact that diligence and applica- CAPTAIN GEORGE W. BROWN tion would place them in the fore front Capt. George W. Brown, donor of the cup, told in a graphic manner of his struggles upward. He pictured his early ilife in North Carolina, his start as a resident of this city and his experience as directing head of the summer resort that bears his name. He urged the pupils to continually strive for excellence and to remember that success awaits those who are diligent and proficient. Mr. George B. Murphy, principal of the school, made the response accepting the prize. The cup is a handsome one, costing $50. It will, be given annually to the school producing the best speller. Mayor Preston presented the school a cup on June 24, last, for having in its ranks the most proficient speller among colored pupils in the city schools. Captain Brown's cup would have been presented then, but it was not ready for delivery. NIGHT SCHOOLS OPEN The public-night schools resume sessions Monday with good enrollments. The Colored High School had the largest number to enter. Instruction is being offered there in the elementary and higher academic branches, manual training, sewing, millinery, dressmaking, domestic science, typewriting, bookkeeping and stenography. Other courses will be given if a sufficient number desire the same. The other night schools are located as follows: ed as follows: Carey and School streets. Hill street, near Sharp. Jefferson and Spring streets. Federal and Carter streets. Savannah, Ga., October 8.—The Savannah Savings and Real Estate Corporation opened /here for business yesterday. The company; which will do a real estate and banking business, has an authorized capitalization of $100,000. DEMOCRATS START COLOR BUGABOO High Class Of Republican Candidates Causes Democrats To Fall Back On Old Cry Of "Negro Domination" The Democrats do not want the support of colored men this time as they are seking to make the Negro an issue. And this in spite of the fact that there has been a steadily increasing number of colored men in Maryland who are not hidebound in their allegiance to the Republican party and who would have the voters of the race divided among all parties. Along comes Mr. Emerson C. Harrington, the Democratic candidate for Governor, who makes one of the features his speech of acceptance Monday that the voters of this State hardly wanted another Republican Governor as they remembered the administration of Lloyd Lowndes. In 1899, John Walter Smith, Mr. Harrington's political sponsor, succeeded Lowndes as Governor, following a bitter campaign against the Negro. The legislature of 1900 passed the present law making a prospective voter declaring his intention of becoming a resident of Maryland at last a year in advance for his registering. Then came the extra session of 1901, when the election law was changed by abolishing the party emblem and making it otherwise hard for illiterates to vote. Thus was paved the way for the reelection of Arthur P. Gorman to the United State Senate. The passage of a "Jim Crow" car law during the administration of Governor Warfield, the submission of three disfranchising amendments and attempts to pass other hostile legislation against the race is the record of the Democratic party in Maryland since John Walter Smith, who brought Harrington into the field so as to head off the ambitions of Blair Lee, was elected to the Governorship. Ovington E Weller formally launched his campaign for election as Governor Monday night, speaking at a large and enthusiastic meeting at Cross Street Market Hall. The irrepressible Charlie Heintzman presided and the air responded with shouts for Republican success. Other addresses were also made by Albert A. Doub, candidate for attorney general; Robret F. Duer, nominee for comptroller, and William F. Breeing, who desires a reelection as State's Attorney. The Union League was crowded Wednesday night with Republicans of shades of opinion, including a number who had been Progressives. The candidates were there and all pledged that they would work for Republican victory in November. The decision of the Progressives to launch no State ticket and the announcement made by Charles J. Bonaparte that he would support Weller has been very encouraging to the Republican work-rs. During the week a quiet movement was started to organize voters all over the city to work against the candidacy of Dr. Harry C. Algire for election as Register of Wills. LAST CHANCE Today, Saturday, will be the last chance for voters in the city to have their names placed upon the registration books. All who did not register last year must do so today in order that they may vote in November. Those who have moved from one legislative district to another at least six months ago must again register or secure a transfer. The Democrats are said PRICE THREE CENTS POOR SCHOOL ACCOMMODATION The fact that the School Board has brought to the attention of the general public the lack of accommodations for school children and will seek to have the next General Assembly grant authority to submit a proposition to the people calling for a loan of $1,500,000 brings out forcibly the needs for proper housing of pupils in many of the colored schools. The school at Mount and Saratoga streets is the only one that has been built for colored pupils within the past eighteen years, though out of a loan floated a few years ago a twenty-four room building is now being erected at Jefferson and Caroline streets. The overcrowding in some of the colored schools is plainly and painfully seen at the Carey street school. The building, which contains eighteen rooms, has also two portable buildings and an annex to house 1,700 pupils. The annex, which is located over the paint shop at the intersection of Fremont and Pennsylvania avenues, contains six rooms totally unsuited for school purposes. Two of the rooms have only light on one side, while all are badly ventilated, have low ceilings and are otherwise unfit for young pupils. There are 38 academic teachers, one for sewing, one in manual training and one in domestic science in this school. The overcrowding makes it necessary to have seventeen part-time classes there. While the school building is woefully lacking in size to house 1,700 pupils, the equipment is of the best, and that applies especially to the manual training and domestic departments. This overcrowding would have been relieved greatly and the unsightly and unfit annex which for which the city pays $480 a year rental could have been practically eliminated, had the School Board not harkened unto-the demands of prejudiced whites by refusing to turn over School No. 39. NEW BUILDING URGE. The school authorities, however, recognize the need of relieving the congestion, and have recommended that $100,000 be appropriated to build a sixteen-room school building northwest of the Carey street school. In the immediate rear of the Carey street school, running through to Fremont avenue, there are a number of small houses that could be secured as a site for a twenty-four room building. This site, with the present one occupied by the school, is in the center of a large area occupied by thousands of colored people. The city has spent over $1,500,000 in providing adequate buildings for three white high schools within the past twelve years. This includes the handsome new building for the Eastern Female High School, a large addition to the Western Female High School and over $1,000,000 in providing a handsome and commodious home for the Polytechnic Institute on North avenue. The need of a new building for the Colored High School has been constantly urged but as yet there have come nothing but promises to provide a commodious and modern building. Baltimore in this respect is behind Washington, St. Louis, Nashville and other cities. 600 pupils are studying in a building erected for an elementary school, and are so cramped that an annex has been rented, as well as an assembly hall at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church. There is no library space, the shop buildings are not modern and the commercial department is installed in a portable building. A glaring need of a building for school purposes is seen in that part of Southwest Baltimore, south and southeast of Carroll Park. Children living on Ward, Ostend, Carroll, Bayard and Cleveland streets either have to go to the Mount street school, which is more than a mile away, or to the one at Fremont avenue and Lemmon streets, which is only a little less distant. Children living on West, Russell, Warner and nearby streets either have to cross the Hamburg street bridge to study at Hill street school or its annex on Sharp street, or go squares away to the one on Fremont avenue. This is especially hard to little tots in inclement weather and at no time really suitable to them and their parents. School No. 115 at Waverly is badly in need of adequate quarters, and the same could be given easily if the segregation law did not prevent the school authorities from turning over the schoolhouse nearby on Greenmount avenue. School No. 113, at Federal and Carter streets is greatly overcrowded, the schools on Biddle street and Druid Hill avenue require modern quarters. At least five elementary schools have been built for whites in Baltimore within the past twelve years and the colored people for the present will only get the one now in course of erection in East Baltimore. PROMINENT COUPLE MARRY The wedding of Miss Violet E. Clements, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Clementine Clements and Mr. John Nixon the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sampson took place at St. Katharine's Church, Presstman and Division street last Wednesday at 7 o'clock, in the presence of a large assemblage. The ceremony was performed by Rev. De Venish, pastor of the church. The bride, who was given in marriage by her cousin, Mr. Robert Sorrell, was attired in a gown of crepe de chine and lace trimmed with pearls and ribbon and wore a tulle veil with a wreath of orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. Miss Edith Lynch was her maid of honor. She wore a gown of yellow voile trimmed with yellow ribbon and lace, with yellow slippers and a large black hat. She carried white carnations. The other attendants were Misses Sarah Fernandez, Villa Hughes and Nina Nixon. They wore gowns of blue voile trimmed with blue mesaline and lace with slippers to match. Their hats were cream lace trimmed with pink rose buds. Each of the attendants carried a bouquet of pink carnations. The little flower girls, Alice Nixon, a niece of the groom and Clementine Murphy, a niece of the bride, wore dainty frocks of white french mull and lace trimmed with blue baby ribbon and wore blue picture hats. Each carried a pretty basket of carnations. Mr. Joseph Briscoe was best man and the ushers were Messrs. Marcellus Walker, Dan Rich, and Frank Pinkston. A reception followed immediately after the ceremony at the home of the bride's mother, 559 Laurens street. They will be at home at 2228 Druid Hill avenue after November 1st. BAPTIST SCHOOL OPENS Clayton-Williams University resumed sessions with a fair enrollment Monday. A feature of the session this year will be lectures on hygiene by Dr. Montague. Dr. J. R. L. Diggs is president of the university. Major Robert R. Moton and Party of Distinguished Citizens Receive Warm Welcome at Every Point on Tour of Northern Neck—Interest in the Movement Increases. Hampton, Va.—The, Negro Organization Society of Virginia recently concluded a successful campaign through the Northern neck in the interest of "better health, better schools, better farms, better homes." This was the third Virginia campaign. It showed clearly that white and colored people alike are waiting up to the importance of public health, education, economic prosperity and wholesome home life. President Robert R. Moton and his party of race leaders were everywhere received most cordially. In the region between the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers, embracing Northumberland, Lancaster, Richmond, Westmoreland and Essex counties, there are many colored people living in attractive and well kept homes, which they own, and worshiping in [Name] MAJOR ROBERT R. MOTON. large modern churches which are in charge of well prepared and respected preachers. The Negro Organization society during its five day campaign was welcomed by more than 5,000 colored people and by the best white people, who realize the importance of maintaining friendly race relations. The largest meeting was held in a white camp meeting ground that had been loaned by the white people. Several meetings were held in courthouses and theaters. Among the white men who delivered addresses were Judge Chim and Superintendent Blake T. Newton of Richmond county, Hon. C. C. Baker, commonwealth attorney of Westmoreland county, and the mayors of Rappahannock and Fredericksburg. President Moton, who is also commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, brought home to the audiences of white and colored people the great advantages that come to the colored people from living in this country, especially in Virginia. He pointed out the many opportunities for acquiring property and securing employment. President John Hope of Morehouse college, Atlanta, Ga., was pleased with conditions he observed as he traveled from county to county and declared that he could use some of the Virginia methods in his work among the colored people of Georgia. President Hope made a strong plea for the home training of Negro youth. T. C. Erwin, the field agent of the Negro Organization society, through whose efforts the arrangements for the trip had been perfected, summarized the year's work, which included aiding and improving all schools, starting teachers' institutes, the co-operation of the Virginia state board of health with colored leaders, the signing of thousands of health pledge cards, the conducting of a successful cleanup week campaign and the raising of money for the Industrial Home School For Wayward Girls. W. T. B. Williams, a graduate of Hampton and of Harvard, who is now serving as a field agent of the Jeanes and the Slater boards, outlined the progress of Negro conditions during the last decade and pointed out the need of training boys and girls to take care of the property which their mothers and fathers had already acquired. The party included Major R. R. Moton, Captain Allen, Washington, and W. T. B. Williams of Hampton institute, F. D. Wheelock of Hampton, Rev. A. G. Graham of Phoebus, Thomas C. Walker of Gloucester Court House, W. E. Robinson of Essex county, W. H. Crocker, Suffolk, T. C. Erwin, Petersburg; Rev. L. L. Downing, Ronoke; Dr. Norman Lassiter, Newport News, and President John Hope, Morsehole, college, Georgia OUR SUCCESS IN MUSIC. James Reese Europe Gives Secret of High Standard Attained. New York.—In reply to a correspondent of the New York Evening Sun who asked the question, "Why does society prefer the Negro musician?" Mr. James Reese Europe, the well known composer and orchestra leader, says: This is a question recently asked by one of your correspondents whose letter on the subject was the subject of editorial comment in a recent issue of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. If the Negro musician enjoys any preference at all he does not enjoy it solely because of his color. In this occupation, as in all other desirable ones here in America, the Negro's color is a handicap, and wherever he achieves success he does so in the face of doubly severe competition. In certain branches of his occupation the Negro musician has been successful—in furnishing entertainment at dinner parties, receptions and other social functions similar in character, and in furnishing dance music. For work of the former kind his services have always been in demand because of his unfailing good nature, his genial, kindly humor and his versatility. Until recently those who engaged in this work were for the most part trained musicians who relied solely on their natural talents for success. In the last few years, however, a new type of Negro musician has appeared. His appearance is due to the widespread popularity of the so called modern dances and the consequent demand for dance music of which the distinguishing characteristic is an eccentric tempo. Such music usually takes the form of a highly syncopated melody, which in the early period of its development was known as "ragtime" music. Since the dance is born of music it is quite apparent that the modern dance is a creature of the syncopated melody. Thus a new field has been opened to musicians in which this new type of Negro musician has succeeded. His success has been due to his efficiency, and his efficiency is due to several facts. He is a natural musician and throws himself into the spirit of his work with spontaneous enthusiasm, so that the music rendered by a Negro orchestra rarely has the mechanical quality which is fatal to dancing. The Negro has a superior sense of rhythm, peculiarly adapting him for dance music. The art of playing the modern syncopated music is to him a natural gift. He excels in the use of the guitar, banjo and mandolin, instruments which are now being generally adopted by orchestras playing dance music to obtain the "thrum-turum" effect and the eccentric, accentuated beat so desirable in dance music, and he was the first to discover the availability of these instruments for such purpose. In addition to his natural talent in the above respects the modern Negro musician is well trained in his art. He reads readily, memorizes marvelously well, interprets naturally and not only understands the principles of technique in the use of his instrument, but is remarkably skillful in execution, as is to be expected when one considers that the Negro possesses a rare faculty for arts requiring physical skill. Perhaps it is fair to say that the Negro has contributed to American music whatever distinctive quality it possesses. Certainly he is the originator of the highly syncopated melody so much in favor today. It is therefore only natural that the Negro musician should interpret this music best. Some years ago in Cole J. Johnson's show, of which the writer was musical director, there was a number containing a peculiarly syncopated passage which not a single white orchestra ever succeeded in playing correctly, while colored orchestras played it without effort, unconscious of its intricacies. Such preference as the Negro musician may enjoy is therefore due to efficiency which is the result of a natural inheritance. It is also true that he is applying himself to the serious study of his music. Many of the members of orchestras are arrangers and composers. There are ten or fifteen such men in this city who have attained a high place in their profession. LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. Organization at St. Joseph, Mo., Outlines Plans For Active Service. A report from the Local Negro Business league of St. Joseph, Mo., says in part: "The local league here has increased its membership threefold and is endeavoring to fill the place in the community for which it is ordained. The outlook to that end is very encouraging. The basic plan of action as adopted is 'one thing at the time.' For the present the task before us is that of getting our institution of charity, a colored hospital and orphanage for northwestern Missouri, organized and endowed. Of course there are many minor activities engaging our attention from time to time, as our league is becoming the clearing house for all ideas, projects and efforts of a social and economic nature." New Post For Professor J. R. E. Lee. The Kansas City (Mo.) high school has been fortunate in securing the services of Professor J. R. E. Lee as principal. He is a man of wide experience as an educator, as has been demonstrated in his work as head of the academic department of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. Professor Lee enters upon the duties of his office in his new field without handicap and with the full co-operation of the school authorities at Kansas City and the very good wishes of the principal and faculty of the Tuskegee institute.

He then delivered a set address, in which he recapitulated the progress made by the race since Emancipation. BERT TAGGED HIM FIRST Bert Williams owns a fine big automobile which he drives himself. He is extremely careful and never tries to dispute the right of way with others. The other night he was driving home up Broadway after the theater Excavations near Fiftieth street made it impossible for autos to pass at one point. Williams and another motorist met there. The comedian immediately began to back to give the other the right of way and the other motorist also threw his car into reverse. They both started forward again and reached the narrow strip again at the same time. Williams leaned over and touched the hood of the other automobile, crossed his fingers and said: "Tug." Thus relieving a situation that was growing tense. We, the Young Men's Willing Work-ers of Am's Church wish to take this opportunity to thank the public in general for lending us their patronage on our day excursions as well as our moonlights to Greater Brown's Grove on the steamer Starlight. May God bless you. That the time limit on pastorates in the A. M. E. Church should not be abolished was the consensus of opinion in a discussion at the A.

So it happens that the world knows of Harvard, Yale and Columbia as embodiments of America’s dcmo- jevatic educational ideas and of ‘Hopkins as the University where usler once taught. Application by a colored stud: nt to enter the Johns Hopkins summer session in July last brought the re- sponse, from Director Buckner that “no provision had been made for ‘color: d. students.” A similar’ re- quest to pursue academic work dur- ing the present winter elicited the ‘This week a committee. from the neat medical association appeared before Saperiniendent Winfred H. Smith of the Hospital to complain lof the Hopkins Poticy. in dealing with colored physcians, who have patents in the Hospital wards. Dr. E. M.

It prints a long list of barbarities said to be practiced by these foreign soldier:, as well as the barbarities now being practiced by the. Turks against the Christian Armenians, Evidently the American has for- gotten the barbarities practice by the so-called white race against the black and yellow races of both Africa and Asia, Probably it has forgotten the savagery practiced by Belgium on the people of the Congo region; it has forgotten the thousands of hands that were cut off because the inhabitants of the Congo Free State did not bring in as much rubber as the dr vers thought they ought to have brought in. ‘They have forgott n the bar- barites now being practiced on the Negro in this country in the South land; the American cannot see the wholesale lynchings going on in this cou-try; the prejudice against the Negro which is now spreading to- wards the Jew. Of course not. Distance is lending enchantment to the view of the American and cloud- ing its vision to such an extent that it cannot by any means sce what is going on under its nose. ‘The American deplores the fact that at the close of this great world war the black and yellow races will not have the fear of a white face before them as formerly, but will regard. the white people only as human b-ings and subject to the pains and penalties of which they themselves are subjected to and will not have the superiority of a white face to frighten them to death simply because it isa white face. Jf this war does finally im- press the nations of the world that. the uttura-ces. of Pan! on Mars’ Hill, that of one blood, God made all nations to dwell upon the earth, then this awful war will not have) een fought in vain, and the re-| sult. will be well worth, the cost. If it demonstrates to all mankind hak God is no respecter of persons, and that all men are alike to Him, whether having a black, a white : a yellow face, we repeat again that the war will not have been fought in vain. Let the white man learn that God is no more respecter of a white face than He -s of a black face, and that all are of a comman humanity, each beloved of the Father and Gd of us all,and that at lash the title of '‘Our Father’ belongs to all, the white as well as to the black, we will then have a new civilization, and then in all! probability the time will soon be ripe for the turning of the spears into pruning hooks,and swords into plow shares. ‘TWO.

Chareh conduct-d by the reat and powerful young man of God, Rev. S. Douglass McDutlie. People ave flocking from every di- reetion to hear him rach night. ‘The street-parade takes place leav- ing the church with about 1500 followers stopping now and then to exhort the hearers taking on a greater number to his train. ‘The policemen exprssed their inter st by going in the front of the great crowd holding up traffic for their safety at all street crossings.

Up to this writing th ye atr 102 conversions. Rev. s:cDuffie will render his last service at great Payne Memorial A. M..E. + hurch commencing Sunday October 10, fof 10 days. Northwest Baltimore is looking to be stirred as never before. Let all that will hear him. ‘Ady. NN. M. Carroll, pastor. QUIETLY MARRIED Miss Nannie Vandalia Burns and Mr. Joseph Arnett Frisby were quietly married in Wildwood, N. J., Wednesday, July 7, 1915. Their marriag: was a great surprise to their many friends regardless of the many rumors of the past win- ter. The couple is making their home at 524 N, Senate avenue, Indianapolis, Ind. NEWS OF THE MOMS cid UF PATHE SPEGIALS AT THE RENARD “That the people of this city have Iearned to discriminate in movi- g pictures is evidenced by the large daily attendance at ‘the Renard Theatre, on Pennsylvania avenue near Lanvale street. They have been playing to standing room only every night and the only thing that prevents a larger business is the capacity of the-housee. ‘The Pathe Pictures seem to be the favorites with the crowds. ‘The management has planned ari extensive program for the months of October, Novem- ber «nd December, including Neal of the Navy, which starts next ‘Poesday and the famous Pathe Gold Rovster Plays.’ The R nard is.the only picture parlor conducted ex- clusively by colored people, very person conducted therewith, from manager to operator being a mem- ber of tine race. : GREAT CROWD AT QUEFN Over 1,000 persons attended the fall onening of the Queen Theater, 664 W. Lexington street, Monday night. A good bill of motion pic- tares, drama and vaudeville was. on the board and the big throng seem- ed to enjoy the same judging by the praise given Messrs. Harry S. Boone and J. R. Jones, the mana- gers of the theater. “NEAL UP THE NAVY” AT. THE GAREY * Notwithtanding inclement weath- er, good crowds were the rule at the Cavey Theatre this week. _ The pictures w re of a high class - and exceedingly interesting. ‘‘Neal of the Navy’’ the much-talked of..ser- jal. will begin at the Carey Tuesday night and a large crowd is. expect- ed. The theatre is open. atfernoon and evening. BOOSTS AND KNOCKS: A monthly magazine published in this city, in its September num- b-r, contained “some very sev-re charges against the Rev. Douglass McDuffie, who recently gonducted a revival at Bethel A. M. E. Church and: who is now conducting a re- vival at Payne Memorial A. M. E. Chureh. If these charges, which have to do with the moral character of Rev. McDuffie, are true, then he should be made to feel the contempt of all the people of the city who have any respect for the house of God. In short, he should avail himself of the columns of the public press and make a denial of them. ‘There are times when it is politic to ignore thos- who ‘‘sling mud’? but in this instance, the charges are of such a grave nature that unless Rev. Mr. McDuffie ex- plains himself the public will b-, forced ‘to the conclusion that they, are true, | It is to be hoped that every citizen will reéognize his obliga- tion to help the Young Men’s. Christian Association. Only a few dollars are needed before it will be possible to begin the much-needed | building. If Baltimore fails in this| instance, they will never be able to recover from the disgrac . Let us all get busy and uphold S cr. tary Booker’s hands. He seems to have th- ‘‘puneh,’’ let us show him that we appreciate his efforts. Out of the forty or more so employed at School No. 112, only ten were present at the presentation of the $50 cup to that school by Captain brown on Tuesday ovening| at Ames M. E. Church. It would be interesting to hear the thirty who were absent give their scholars a lecture on ‘Schoo! Loyalty.”” Booster . Knock also happened to miss this very interesting event. He hereby apologizes to Captain ¥rown, the principal of School 112, the pastor of the church and all oth: rs concerned. Té you want to gather a crowd of our folks in short order, just ar- range for a funeral, wedding, or hetter still, get a brass band, Where they come from so quickly is one of the mysteries yet to he solv- ed. Jt is certainly strange to see just how many people have nothing to do when any of these « vents hap- pen, Jt would be a pleasure to say that these crowds are composed of the ‘“rabble,’? but one would be surprised to se: the familiar faces waiting for the corpse, of the bride or anybody else to ‘come out.’” Everybody wants to remember Dr, Algire when election takes place next month, He is one of the class of Republicans who has nothing for a colored man to do until election time; then he wants the vote. His action in the Mur- phy murder case is an earnest of his intense love for the “‘colored brother.”” Let everybody unite to drive this Dr. Algire and all of his like out of public life, In marked contrast to this man Algire, among those who are run- ning for public office, is Chief Judge Soper, who is a candidate for the position he now holds by appointment. It is unfortunate for the State that there are not more of Judge Soper's kind in polities. flis election will mean the extension in the judiciary of a strong and able friend of every man.

TRAVELING SOME THRU MISSOURI Still Getting Over Much Terrl- toty And Meeting All The Prominent People In The State St. Joseph, Mo.—I have been out here in this country looking into some conferences, and then I have met a few people, and when I get through telling you about them you will agree that I have met a few who are really worth knowing. You will recall my other letter to you when I was touring in Kansas City, Kans., and on the Missouri side of life also, and you will remember I was having some time. I had met Prof. J. R. E. Lee, and his wife and sons. Prof. Lee is doing some good work in this section of the country and is bringing to his race some notice along an educational line. I did not get to visit the high school in Kansas City, Kans., hence cannot tell you much about it. But I went to the Douglass graded school, and there I found a woman in charge, Miss Laura Harlan. She has been teaching ever since she was knee high to a grasshopper, and she knows the art. She has under her 17 teachers and 701 children, and they continue to pour in. They do not like to leave her building for the high school. She is a favorite among the teachers. I was delighted to find associated with her Miss Rhoda Johnson, of Quincy, Ill. Miss Johnson goes straight to the heart of the people, and she wins it too. I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Edna Cook, who is in charge of the Y. W. C. A. in Kansas City, Kans. She is a worthy young woman and the daughter of Rev W. D. Cook, of Chicago, Ill. They have a fine place in the city and are receiving the attention of the people. It is nice to look in and see it. Rev. J. R. Ransom, whose name was before the church four years ago for financial secretary is now being pushed for the episcopacy, and if you don't watch the general conference delegates are going to write his name on their ballots. He is a man who has worked hard and earned everything he has made in the church, and he is a deserving man now. The next step for me was to leave for the place where I am writing to you today, St. Joseph, Mo. I came over here with Revs. T. J. Smith, a presiding elder in Kansas, Rev. and Mrs. J. Frank McDonald, Revs. J. R. Ransom, and R. C. Ransom, and D. W. Oaks. It was a nice ride. Reaching town we found in progress a reception to the North Missouri conference which met on Wednesday. The Mayor of the city was there and delivered an address of welcome. He knew us as a race, because he had lived on a plantation in Louisiana, and took pride in coming in from the country to say a word of welcome to the delegates. He felt that it was his duty, as well as a pleasure to be on hand. He did say some good things after telling about his black mammy of course, and how he loved her. As a rule when a real southern white mayor is invited to address our people he goes in person and makes his speech. I have never und rstood this, but they don't believe in sending substitutes. Rev. N. C. Buren, assigned me to the home of Mr. and Mrs. St. Clair Beard. Mr. Beard was for a long time a mail toter in the Chicago post office, and exchanged with another man about two years ago. He is now in the same business in St. Joseph. He purchased himself a home, and it is a beautiful little brick cottage on South 16th street. Mme. M. Beard, has been a fortunate woman, because she has discovered something that will make hair grow, and she is growing it. She is kept busy all the time sending out her preparation. Then she knows how to take hair and do it over and turn it into a switch or something like that. I don't know the names of the different things she can make out of hair. If you have a gray head she can match it, and make it look just like a nature had fixed it there. There was a fine conference and a great time had by all. I remained though the entire session. I heard the many speakers. Some good addresses and sermons were delivered during the session. The people kept the church full all the time, and some excellent meals were served. Mrs. H. B. Parks is with her husband during the conference and she is great help to him. She is talking to the women, helping them in their work and an inspiration to the ministers as well as her hus- band. She is indeed a busy woman. As you read this I will be on my way to St. Louis, Mo., and from there will go to Nashville, Tenn., and then to Petersburg, Va., to be present at a meeting of the Organization Society, presided over by Major R. R. Moton. Then into Mississippi to be with Bishop J. M. Conner. Let me hear from you soon. Address me at 15 N. Hill street, Nashville, Tenn. TOWSON TIDINGS Towson, Md., October 7.—Miss Mary F.

COL, TRULY HATCHETT PROMINENT WOMAN BURIED WITH HONORS With John Wesley M. E. Church filled almost to suffocation and hundreds gathered around the outside, the last tribute of respect was paid to the late Mrs. Annie G. Heath Tuesday afternoon.

Carroll and William Brown assisted in the services. The various fraternal orders with which the deceased was connected either performed their last rites at the church or at the grave in Mt.

She lingered from Wednesday night until Saturday morning, when she passed away. She was born in this city 45 years ago and received her education in the public schools. She was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George W. Lester, for whom she tenderly cared for in their declining days.

Severely Criticises the "Birth of a Nation" That "The Birth of a Nation," which is being shown at the Forrest Theater Philadelphia, grossly misrepresents the Negro was asserted by Carl E. Grammer, in a letter in last Sunday's Philadelphia Public Ledger. Dr. Grammer was formerly rector of an Episcopal church in Baltimore and is regarded as being very liberal in his views on the race question. He said, in his letter: "I do not know any production which handles a great theme more crudely and cruelly than "The Birth of Nation," now on exhibition at the Forrest Theatre, treats the difficult and painful subject of reconstruction in the South. The talk of reconstructing the Union would have been difficult under any circumstances. War is not the kind of bloodletting that lessens fever. To bind up and unite into one nation two sections that have fought one another requires patience, forbearance, magnanimity, and many great graces. Think how hard it has been to knead Ulster into the lump of Ireland and make that island one. Remember how prolonged the alienation of Poland from Russia, both Slavonic peoples. In the case of the South, the presence of the Negro makes the undertaking infinitely more difficult. There were radicals in the North who idealized the colored man and failed to appreciate his real condition, and there were radicals in the South who thought that under new forms the substance f the old relation could be retained. There were people who hated the Southern whites and aimed to humiliate them through the blacks, and there were poor whites in the South who hated the blacks and were glad to terrorize and lord it over them. Fearful mistakes were made, and great sufferings were undergone by many people. It is a sad chapter in our national annals. No one can tell the story rightly who does not appreciate how noble some of the idealists were and how brave and steadfast were some of those who adhered to a past order. Above all, no one can understand the South who does not grasp the fact that the colored people were almost universally loyal to their old masters and protected their women and children. Now, "The Birth of a Nation" is founded on a play that does not treat the colored people with the affection and sympathy that was felt for them by their own masters. That play, "The Clansman," was not permitted in Norfolk, Va., some years ago. The authorities at that Southern city aimed at reconciling and not alienating the white and black races. This moving picture show at the Forrest has many untrue touches, such as the black guerrillas shooting up the Southern village during the war, and those fearful scenes of riot and attack on a cabin, comparable rather to an assault of Sioux on some frontier settlement many years ago rather than to the attitude of the colored people to the old masters, whose manners they copied so admiringly and whose personal ascendency was so powerfully felt by them. It would be an awful thing, at this day, in Ireland to enact in moving pictures the horrors perpetrated either by the conquering Saxon on the original population or by the Celts in their uprisings against the victors who confiscated their soil. What Ireland wants is union, obtaining by forgetting and forgiving. In the same way no good purpose is secured by making heroes of Ku-Klux and lessening the horrors of such secret organizations that so readily lend themselves to evil, and are remedies so desperate that only the strongest constitutions can recover from them. But what particularly concerns me is the untrue and unfriendly portraiture of the colored people. They have bad men among them. But we must not judge them by their worst, just as the white race should not be judged by Frank and Jesse James, or those fearful guerrillas that under the guise of loyalty to North or South, as the case might be, did such dastardly deeds in the border warfare in Arkansas. "It is well that the Northern people should learn something of the problems of the South, but it is not well that they should have their sympathies alienated from the colored people, of whom Herschell V. Johnson, of Georgia, testified at the close of the war: "Whilst you strong men were in the tented field, far from unprotected wives and children, the Negro cultivated their Y. M. C. A.

Everybody is welcome. lands, tended their households and rendered all servile observances as when surrounded by the usual controlling agencies. As the governing class, individually and collectively, we owe them unbounded kindness." Alexander H. Stephens also bore witness in February, 1866 "Even in the hour of danger and peril they were in the main true to you and yours. To them we owe a debt of gratitude as well as acts of kindness." It's a fearful perversion of the relation between that race and the white race to have colored women participating in an insult of a most serious character to a white girl. The whole performance has many false and untrue touches." CARL E. GRAMMER BARTONSVILLE, MD. Bartonsville, Md., Oct. 7.—Miss Medesa Thomas has returned to Philadelphia. A successful festival was held Saturday night. Ignatius Snowden, of Frederick gave a very interesting talk to the Sunday School last Sunday on "Be Sure Your Sins Will Find You." LAYMEN'S EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN The first Laymen's Evangelistic Campaign ever conducted by the Y. M. C. A. Brotherhood in Baltimore will be held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, corner Lanvale and Druid Hill avenue, beginning Sunday, October 31, at 4 p. m. The religious committee of the Association has secured the services of Dr. A. Clayton Powell, of New York city, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, a noted preacher and pulpit orator, an evangelist of the first rank. The following program will be carried out with the exception of several street meetings and midday conferences. Sunday, October 31, at 4 p. m., Platform meeting; Sunday 8 p. m., "The Easy Way to Hell." Monday 8 p. m. "Fishing in Deep Water." Tuesday 8 p. m. "An Awful Choice."

A big male chorus is being formed and the first rehearsal is Sunday, October 10, at the Y. M. C. A. building following the regular meeting. Any man may join this chorus and help in this great movement. The personal workers for this movement will be under the direction of Mr. G. Sumner Whyte, who has had a wide experience in Christian work. Join his organization and line up for service in the Battle for the King. The Association has extended a cordial invitation to all the ministers of all denominations and to all Leagues, Unions and Adult Bible Clases, in fact, to all Christian workers in the city of Baltimore. We ask that October 31, be set aside as a day of prayer for the men and boys of Baltimore that every Christian attend some church, that every minister and every layman be strengthened to do a bigger service for his fellows. FINAL COLLECTION CAMPAIGN Don't forget November 18, the day on which the Y. M. C. A. workers will launch the final campaign towards securing the $100, 000 building made possible thru the offer of Julius Rosenwald which offer expires January 1, 1916.

WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE The time when dreams come true is when you do not feel right or are sick and dream of health and take TU-RA-HE, the Great Indian Wigwam Pure Blood Medicine and Nerve Tonic, and get well and stay well. If you are only half living, if work is a drudgery, if life is unendurable, not joy; if you do not daily and constantly feel the exhilarating, delightful possession of heath, then you are not enjoying your rights; you need the best remedy, take TU-RA-HE, the Indian Wigwam Pure Herb Remedy and enjoy life to the fullest extent. We believe in the great helping power of TU-RA-HE, the old Indian Wigwam Remedies made from pure, harmless Herbs and Roots. TU-RA-HE is a great help in the treatment of many ailments too numerous to mention here. It is highly recommended and guaranteed to give satisfaction and is a blessing to suffering humanity. In many cases where the ordinary medicine fails the Indian Wigwam TU-RA-HE Herb Remedies are of great help.

TRAVELED ALL NIGHT TO SEE LUNG SPECIALIST. "Soon after mother cried of Consumption, I began to cough, cough, cough; lose weight and get weak. The doctors here told me I had Tuberculosis and would soon follow mother. Some, one advised my husband to send me to Dr. Campbell, 1369 N. Carey street, Baltimore. Md., as he could not be beat as a Lung and Nerve Specialist. In company with my sister we traveled all night by boat and visited the Doctor next day. He examined me thoroughly and explained how my lungs were effected. I took his LUNG BASE Treate nt nearly 3 months, then several bottles of Strength and Life. My weight increased, cough stopped, and now I feel a well woman, though it is almost three years since I took his Treatment. I feel that I have many more yrs to live, though I would have been dead long ago had I not been to him. I have sent several persons to him as I believe he can help them if they went in time" Mrs. V.

THE CRY OF NATURE Is for help and relief from the burdens imposed upon her by people not satisfied to allow their systems to perform their functions of life in a natural way, but must crowd and push and lay extra burdens upon their bodies until Nature in dire distress calls for help. If then help is refused then comes the weakening and undermining of the body and health and the man and women begin to pay the penalty of "their indiscretion and excess whether in their work or pleasure" and experience that "dragged out" feeling and its associate lills—the dark rings around the dull eye, the loss of memory, dragging pains, emaculation, tired feeling, nervous, weak, despondent, loss of appetite, vitality and energy, wastings in urine from diseased special organs, blood infections, discharges from shrunken organs and swollen glands from excess or indiscretion, catarral diseases of all organs, kidney pain and bladder troubles, weak spells, dizziness and other complaints.
