Howard 0. 1914 Lincoln 12. Howard 0. Hampton, Va., Nov. 25.—The great big machine of Hampton Institute wiped out the stain of last year's defeat, and proclaimed themselves champions of colored football for the year 1915, by crushing the white and blue eleven of Howard University on their campus Thanksgiving day by the score of 18-0. The result of the game was a surprise to many of the Howard adherents, who had pinned their faith in the team which has stood the test for the past seven years, although they knew that Hampton's ambition to lead in athletics would in all probability bring out a team that would be hard for the peerless Blue and White to defeat. The special steamer which had been chartered to run from Washington to Hampton brought hundreds of white and blue rooters, as well as football enthusiasts from Baltimore, Philadelphia, and vicinity, so that when the referee's whistle blew at 2.30 the campus was lined with the thousands of spectators ready to yell for their favorite eleven. Hampton was not long in finding that the greatest weakness of the Howard team lay in their line, and by old-time football, mass plays and line plunges carried the ball over for the first touchdown of the game before the surprised Howard rooters had time to gain their breath. Hampton failed to kick goal. Here Howard's old-time fighting spirit was rejuvenated and they held in check the mighty rushes of the Hamptonians for the next two periods. The Howard backs made good gains around ends but the weakness of their own line prevented them from making any headway in that direction. Several times during these periods when Howard might have scored, the Hampton line held like a stonewall, and Howard was thrown for losses. The last quarter was a heartbreaker for the faithful followers of the white and blue. The terrific line bucking and battering tactics of the Hampton backs was telling on the admirable defense of the Washingtonians, for shortly after the period opened they had smashed their way thru for the second touchdown of the game. Howard's defense seemed to waver, and with a merciless renewal of their hammerlike plays the Hamptonians opened great gaps in the Howard line thru which, their backs plowed for great gain. It was all over for Howard now but the shouting, and this was done by the Institute rooters a few minutes later when their team had carried the pigskin over for the third touchdown, and victory. Hampton missed each of their three opportunities to kick goal. The superior weight of Hampton was too much for the Howard line and PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RACE. the burden of the game fell on the backs who put up a game but loosing fight.

Although they were defeated, the boys of the High School crosses the goal line of the Howard Preps, the first time such a thing has been done this year on the Howardites, at the game on Howard Campus, Thanksgiving day. Outweighed by nearly 20 pounds to the man, the Baltimoreans put up a slashing good game, and but for a pure gift of six points the score would have been 19-14. In the second half Howard punted, and a Howard man recovered the punt over the goal line. The referee claimed that a High School man had touched the ball, while High School made the claim that two of their men had tried to catch it but failed to do so. They argued to no avail however. The change of style in their passing from direct to indirect, together with the placing of LeCompte for all their kicking was responsible for High School's good showing. LeCompte kicked goal at both opportunities, as well as making numerous beautiful punts. High Schools scoring came in the second half, when Newman recovered a fumble by Howard, and ran 25 yards for a touchdown. A little later, LeCompte got thru the line and received a beautiful forward pass from Taylor and ran 30 yards for the second touchdown. Howard's scores came in the first half, counting three touchdowns on straight line plunges, and old-time football, seldom resorting to forward passes or open plays. A gain in the second half the "Preps" scored a touchdown by similar tactics. The "Preps" kicker only counted one of the three opportunities at goal. MANASSAS TRIUMPHS OVER MORGAN. 25-0 Weakened by the loss of several of their regulars from the line-up, and the absence of their coach, Morgan College was compelled to how the eleven to the Manassas Industrial School on the latters gridiron Thanksgiving Day by the score of 25-0. The game was witnesed by a large number of rooters, a number going from this city. It was twenty-five minutes before either team was able to score, and then Manassas found a weak spot in Morgan's line and cut thru from a touchdown. In the second half, Manassass again took advantage of Morgan's weak defense, and mass plays, and straight football netted them three more touchdowns. They kicked one goal of the four. The game was spectacular and exciting at times, both teams showing good generalship, Manassass excelling. Harris, Morgan's star fullback, who was out of the game, directed the team. Injuries to several of their Continued on page 4 THANKSGIVING DAY IN BALTIMORE Great American Holiday Generally Observed in the Chnrches, Homes and Amusement Places The typical American holiday—Thanksgiving Day—was generally observed throughout the city. Religious services, theaters, a good dinner and an outdoor exercise were among the things that claimed the attention of the 600,000 residents of Baltimore. While many could really say that they were thankful because of their success, there were others who felt that the world had treated them a trifle shabby. Many of the latter changed their views, however, when they found out that some of their more fortunate friends had provided good repasts for them. The inmates of the A. M. E. Home for the Aged had their hearts gladdened by a dinner that was given them by the African Methodist churches of the city. A similar event took place at the M. E. Home for the Aged. The little ones in the Baptist Orphanage, the Maryland Home for the Friendless, John Hopkins's Orphan Asylum, St. Elizabeth's Home and other institutions had their hearts gladdened also. Religious services claimed the attention of many, as nearly every church in the city was open during the day. Whatcoat and Trinity Churches united with the congregation of Sharp Street Memorial Church and heard Rev. S. M. Johnson preach a stirring sermon. The congregation of Waters Church went to Asbury Church and Waters heard Rev. A. L. Gaines deliver the message. All the churches of extreme Northwest Baltimore united in services at Ames Memorial Church. Rev. J. M. Boston preached the sermon. Revs. I. L. Thomas, Matthias Williams, Junius Gray and A. J. Mitchell also participated in the services. Suppers were given at Bethel, Sharp Street Memorial, Union Baptist, the People's and other churches. A number of Baltimoreans either went to Washington to witness the football game between the Baltimore Colored High School and the "prep" team of Howard University, or to Hampton to see the Hampton-Howard game, or to see Morgan College be defeated by the team of Manassas (Va.) Industrial School. While the high price of turkey kept the toothsome bird out of the reach of many, rabbits and chickens made good substitutes, and were devoured with mince meat pie, celery and other good things. Father sat at the head of the table, mother at opposite, while children, relatives and others helped to make up the thankful home throng: The evening was taken up with various diversions, many taking in church entertainments, suppers, a dance at St. Peter Claver's Hall, or the good bills at the Queen, Carey, Renard and Goldfield Theaters. Others went to the big oyster roast at Westport, while the bachelor boys took their dinner at Smith's Hotel, Moore's Restaurant, the Goldfield or one of the numerous other places that have nectar and ambrosia. Even the musicians were happy, judging by the enthusiasm with which Amiel Davage, Charles Harris and other members of the Commonwealth Band serenaded the office of the Afro-American Ledger during the afternoon. TO BE ERATERNAL DELEGATE AT A. M. E. GENTENNIAL CONFERENCE REV. W. A. C. HUGHES SIGNAL HONOR FOR FORMER BALTIMOREAN Washington, November 27.—The announcement has been made in this city that the semi-annual meeting of the Board of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, district superintendent of the Washington District of the Washington Conference, has been the unanimous choice of that body to bear the fraternal greetings of his denomination to the Centennial General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to be held in Philadelphia in May. The fact that Rev. Hughes has received this appointment, which is regarded as one of the highest of an honorary character, in the gift of the church, has caused him to receive congratulations from the ministry throughout the country. Rev. Hughes, although now a resident of Washington, is a native of this city and is well known here. He served as pastor of the Sharp Street Memorial Church for seven years, where he was eminently successful as an evangelist and financier. He is regarded as not only the leader in the Washington Conference, but one of the leading Methodist ministers in the country. DEAN PICKENS TO BE The installation of Dr. William Pickens as dean of Morgan College will be the occasion for elaborate exercises next Thursday, preceding the exercises, the alumni will hold a meeting. In the afternoon, when the formal installation takes place, greetings from representatives of schools will be made. An educational mass meeting will be held at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church in the evening. A member of prominent out-of-town men and women are expected to attend the exercises. Dr. Pickens$^2$ is one of the best known of the younger educators of the country. He is a native of South Carolina and received his preliminary education at the Little Rock (Ark.) High School. He received his collegeate training at Talladega College, after which he entered Yale University, graduating in 1904. He won the Ten Eyck prize for orator at the latter school. He taught for a number of years at Talladega College, after which he became an instructor at Wiley University, Marshall, Texas. Talladega College honored him with the degree of doctor of literature two years ago. Dr. Pickens has the honor of being the first colored man to occupy the position of dean at Morgan College, and he has already won the admiration of the students there. As a lecturer, he is widely known, having spoken all over the country. PRICE THREE CENTS $10,000 WASHINGTON MEMORIAL PROPOSED BY WHITE SOUTHERNER W. T. Gentry Would be one of One Hundred Men to Subscribe One Hundred Dollars for Project. MAY BE NATION-WIDE AFFAIR Directors Believe Completion of Three Million Dollar Endowment Would be the Best Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 21—What will very probably become a nationwide movement for the erection of a monument or memorial of some kind to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, has been started in this city by a voluntary tribute paid the deceased educator by W. T. Gentry, white, president of the Southern Bell. "I am personally willing to be one of one hundred men to subscribe $100 for this purpose", Mr. Gentry stated in communication to a local daily paper yesterday, and it is believed that his example will be many both north and south. "Dr. Washington was born in Franklin County, Va." said Mr. Gentry, "on a plantation a few miles from where I was raised, and I naturally kept up with his career. I had known him for thirty years or more, and he always commanded my highest respect and admiration. I believe he is, up to the present time, the ablest man his race has ever produced, and he did work of inestimable value to both races." The Richmond Times-Dispatch in speaking of Mr. Gentry's suggestion says: "The South owes a debt to Dr. Booker T. Washington scarce less weighty than that owed by the Negro race. His great talents were devoted in large part to maintaining friendly relations between the races; his voice always opposed those who sought to fan the embs of hate into flames of destruction. A native Virginian has suggested what the white men of the South should not neglect." Not only is the South interested in plans for a memorial to the distinguished educator, but the North and West have signified their intention of helping in the movement to perpetuate his memory. From Boston, New York, Chicago and other places have come tidings of interest in the movement. A meeting was held in New York city last Monday to consider the proposed Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. Those at the meeting expressed the opinion that Dr. Washington has worked assiduously to build up Tuskegee Institute to its present mammoth proportions, that he had succeeded in getting an endowment of more than $1,000,000 and that he was striving to make it $3,000,000 in order to relieve himself from having to raise a large part of the school budget annually. The raising of the $3,000,000, Dr. Washington's friends assert, would be a fitting memorial to the man who went to an early grave because of the enormous work thrust upon his shoulders. Captains of industry, as well as prominent men in various avenues of life will be among the contributors. MEXICAN SOLDIERS FIRE ON COLORED TROOPERS Nogales, Ariz., Nov. 23.—Twenty-five Mexicans crossed the border near here today and fired into a border patrol of six colored soldiers PROMINENT PERSONAGES AT WASHINGTON FUNERAL Thousands of telegrams from men high up in American life, from prominent Negroes who have been identified with Dr. Washington in many of his efforts to elevate the Negro race, and from hundreds of admirers white and colored were received. Both the telegram offices were swamped with messages and it was necessary to send special operators from Montgomery. Former President William H. Taft, wired: "His death, in what ought to be his prime, is an irreparable loss to the nation. He was one of the powerful forces for the proper settlement of the race question that has appeared in his generation. His loving candor to his fellow Negroes, his inspiring encouragement to make themselves individuality valuable to the community, his urging upon the homely virtues, on industry, thrift and persistent use of their opportunities with a promise of higher achievements as a reward have done more for the Negro race than any other factor in their progress. I knew Booker Washington well and valued him highly as a friend and a patriot. He united with signal power of eloquence and great intellectual force and practical executive faculty a saving common sense which made him the great man he was. I greatly regret his death." Emmet O'Neal, former Governor of Alabama, sent the following message from Washington: "The South, as well as the nation mourn the loss of a great man. He had won the confidence of our people and no man since the civil war did more to create harmonious relations between the races. Accept my sincerest sympathy." of the 10th United States Cavalry. A prive by the name of Pool was shot through the leg. The troopers returned the fire and killed one Mexican and wounded another. The Americans were surprised while at breakfast. Y. M. C. A.

Mrs. Florence Griffin, 1813 Etting street and Miss Bertie Brown have returned from a visit to Pittsburgh, Pa. their house to order. Lawyer W. Ashbie Hawkins, general chairman, called the house to order. Each division chairman gave a three-minute talk on the efforts his division was putting forth to get the money. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one. Each captain and worker was anxious to get the largest amount for the first night. George W. F. McMechen and his group of workers kept the other divisions on edge by telling them cash would count. Dr. T. S. Hawkins and his group of workers were never confident that they would lead, but each man had said that the division that led would be beyond the $75.00 mark. Secretary Booker made the final speech in which he showed the detailed workings of the organization and urged each man to follow the plan—visit the fifteen persons assigned to him and revisit them until some cash was in hand. The big proposition seems to be that so many of the subscribers have moved and the workers do not know the whereabouts. All such names will be turned into the office. Secretary Booker spoke with confidence of success, stating that he "believed in the men in the men in the organization, the people of Baltimore, the cause, and best of all in Him who bids us work for human kind." At this point, the social committee served the workers with a light collation, after which the workers departed for their homes. The sentence on every lip was "We cannot fail this time."

Hampton, Va.—North and south are joining heartily in raising a fund of $100,000 for the Robert Curtis Ogden Memorial Auditorium, which will soon be built at the Hampton (Va.) institute. William Howard Taft, chairman of the Ogden memorial committee, which is composed of public spirited men and women representing the best interests of the south and north, has issued through the New York office of the executive secretary, Sydney D. Frissell, the following statement: It is proposed by many of his friends now to erect a suitable memorial to Mr. Robert C. Ogden, whose services to this country justify a fitting testimonial to a man well called "an unofficial statesman" because of the new and unique character of his work for education in the south. The southern education board was constituted under his leadership, and its work marked a new epoch of national progress. It brought together men and women of the north and east and south and west who were able to further greatly the education of the THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE south, and especially of the white race. For forty years Mr. Ogden had been a trustee of Hampton institute and for twenty years the president of its trustees. The record of Mr. Ogden's life work makes it clear that Hampton institute is the most fitting place for a permanent memorial. There is urgent need there for a large auditorium, and already a few of his friends have subscribed one-third of the $100,000 necessary for the erection of such a building. This would be particularly suitable to the memory of Mr. Ogden.

FIRE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT [Name] Nashville, Tenn. ROYAL CHEMICAL CO.: DEAR SIRS: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consummation of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. My relief was made up to have same performance, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my inquiries. I advised me not to go to the hospital, and probably the loss of my life when a cure could be effected by the use of your remedy. I took a bottle with a greenish mass from my system, and a number of genuine gall stones. Thank heaven, I took my friend's advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver Preparation. Symptoms in my case were chapped brain, coated tongue, shigglish on rising in the morning, had gas on my arm, and oftentimes had pains in my sore and back. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from frost, and liver trouble. Am employed by Nashville Fire Department and always recommend your medical. CAFT. F. M. P. P.

We are thankful that war has not entered our land but what have we done to help those who are at war? We are thankful for abundant crops and rejoice that the overflow could be sent to bless those lands where crops were scarce. But the country's prosperity rests less upon this than upon the large trade balance which has accumulated during the year from the sale of war munitions. We thank God for peace and prosperity founded upon the sale of our goods, which make more frightful the war in Europe and destroy more effectively the property which Europe has enjoyed or may hope to send joy. The kind of prosperity we now have may be the result of good business sense but likewise of mighty poor ethics. PRESIDENT WILSON AND MRS. GALT DINE AT COLORED HOTEL Possibly it was due to the fact that President Wilson's fiancee had lunched at the Hill Top House near Harpers Ferry before. It might have been that the appetite of the President's party caused him to stop at the first restaurant to which they came. At any rate when the friends of the President heard that Hill Top House was conducted and owned by Thomas S. Lovett, a Negro, his action in patronizing a colored restaurant caused the usual criticism. The critics passed over the reputation of Mr. Lovett's hotel, which is one of the best in the state, the fact that it was owned and operated by colored people was sufficient to condemn it. What is more they failed to remember that both President and Mrs. Galt have been nursed, and fed by colored people all their lives. It was natural even if unusual then, that Mr. Wilson put aside all that of what Southern friends might think and enjoy the best meal obtainable in the state. It is the President's second counting, but none the less ardent for that. Lovers are notoriously elemental, and when they are hungry, they usually eat what first comes to hand. "WHO-IS-DEAN" The celebration of the thirty-second birthday by the "Cleveland (O.) Gazette" led its editor to remark recently that he felt like the dean of the Afro-American Press. When the "Afro-American Ledger" congratulating the Ohio editor, remarked the age of the Louisville, Ky. "American Baptist." (thirty-nine) the "Cleveland Gazette" replied: "The editor longest, CONTINUOUSLY, in the editorial "harness" is the dean of the Afro-American press. The question therefore is, has Editor Steward of the Louis- CARNINGTON STONE JACKSON WOENING PARTY COUNCIL GRAY GRINES LYON DIXON BUNDY MK The Court attendants await orders from the King's Council ville, Ky., American Baptist been in the editorial "harness" thirty-seven CONSECUTIVE years? An answer, in the affirmative, from him, will settle the matter." For some time modesty closed the lips of the venerable editor of the "American Baptist" and it is just now that he forces himself to speak: by the press of the country finds various epithets employed to describe Mr. Washington's contribution to American life. By one he is styled to "Moses of his people," by another an "Abraham Lincoln," emancipator of the Negro from industrial slavery. An objection to the first mentioned title of Moses is DEMOCRATS ON LOOK-OUT FOR RECRIT Local colored Democrats are ning to wage a campaign for cruits to their number. Over colored men are now register Democrats, and it is believed, many more are lukewarm in "This question of who is the dean of the colored press has been up several times and without any claim to the honor the statement of the service of the editor of this paper has been given upon several occasions. The Baptist Herald was established in Paducah, Ky., in 1875 of which Rev. G. W. Dupee was editor and William H. Steward associate editor. This paper was merged into the American Baptist January 1st, 1879 with Rev. A. C. Carpenter, editor and Rev. G. W. Dupee and Wm. H. Steward associate editors and Bro. Steward has been connected continuously with one or the other of these papers since 1875 as associate editor or editor. This information has been published before and it is a source if pleasure and pride without any regard to the reason which has caused it to be repeated at this time." Editor Steward's affirmative does settle the matter and it is with genuine admiration that we point to the editors of "American Baptist," Pioneer Press" and "Cleveland Gazette" as constituting a Board of Deans for all of them have given more than thirty years of continuous journalistic service. MERELY AN INCIDENT THAT'S ALL The managing editor of the Afro-American Ledger concerns himself very little as to the personal animadversions of the editor of our youngest contemporary. He considers the source from whence they come. We have been in public life in this city too long not to know something of the general feeling of the community toward us. If it does the little editor any good and pleases him, we are tickled to death. One thing, however we wish, to correct in our contemporary's last editorial, and that is with reference to the B. & O. matter. The managing editor of this paper was invited by the President of the B. & O. Railroad to have a conference with him on the matter of the "Jimcrow" signs then much in evidence in Camden Station He accepted the invitation, with the suggestion that the President, name the time, he having much greater interests to look after, and his time being more precious than that of the editor of the Afro-American Ledger. This he did. The little editor of our young contemporary was requested by the managing editor of the Afro-American Ledger to go along, and that is how the so-called"committee of two" came to wait on the Assistant to the President of the B. & O. (the President having had a hurry call to New York.) The little editor was merely an incident and nothing more. As all the other statements made in his several articles are on a par with this statement of his in reference to a "committe of two," the public can well be the judge of the value of them. MR. WASHINGTON NOT A "MOSSES" Comment editorially, upon the death of the principal of Tuskegee THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER by the press of the country finds various epithets employed to describe Mr. Washington's contribution to American life. By one he is styled to "Moses of his people," by another an "Abraham Lincoln," emancipator of the Negro from industrial slavery. An objection to the first mentioned title of Moses is voiced by the Hopkinsville, "Saturday News" which is of the opinion that Mr. Washington's career was unique and distinctive. He was not another "George Washington" or another leader of the Douglass type but Booker T. Washington and nothing more. Not a "Moses" but to the contrary: "Moses was appointed to lead his people out of a land of oppression; Washington was ordained to keep his here. Moses held forth the lure of a Canaan; Washington demonstrated that Canaan was character, and for the fluid of human kindness the Negro had to "let his bucket down here." Washington taught that the Red Sea of prejudice would part before the rod of manual skill; that the wilderness would grow fertile by thrift and that manna might be prayed for, but was more compensating when 'twas worked for. No; Washington was not a Moses. Moses led blind men, while Washington taught the men of his race to see for themselves." WHY THE NAME BROADWAY RASTUS is the successor to DARKYDOM and the DARKTOWN FOLLIES in the list of plays by colored men billed for theatres of the north and middle states. The play promoters evidently feel that there must be some suggestion of low Negro minstrelsy in the advance notices of plays before they will prove attractive to large audiences. It is perfectly true that these shows do not belie their names; they abound in catchy songs, dances whose degree of suggestiveness depends on the character of the audience, and scenes in which the simple country Negro finds himself at a diasdvantage when matching wits with his city brother. In themselves the music, dance and humor are often worth while and will doubtless find permanent expression under the hand of some master writer. As they exist loosely bound together in the plays above mentioned they serve wholly to amuse and not to instinct. They neglect therefore the chief function of the theater and the play, which is to lift the audience out of the every day atmosphere, and point toward a higher order of things. Here is one reason why these plays do not persist, why the musical comedies of Williams and Walker, of Cole and Johnson and others drew tremendous crowds for a while and then passed from view with the men who made them great. Centuries from now manuscripts of such play may prove interesting as beginning, phototypes of existing plays. For the present until they exhibit minstrelsy not for the sake of itself, but for a higher purpose, they will remain transitory. Meanwhile they might prove as interesting and attractive under different names. Two colored men were discussing Thanksgiving yesterday. "I had rolling duck." "What is that?" "Well, I went rolling home and then took a 'duck' to bed." DEMOCRATS ON LOOK- OUT FOR RECRUITS Local colored Democrats are planning to wage a campaign for recruits to their number. Over 300 colored men are now registered as Democrats, and it is believed that many more are lukewarm in their allegiance to the G. O. P. It is pointed out that the opposition of colored men was responsible for the election of Mayor James H. Preston in 1911 and that nearly 2,000 voters of the race supported him for reelection last spring. The first big defection of colored Republicans occured in 1893, when, it is estimated, that 7,000 colored men stayed from the polls rather than support the mayoralty candidacy of the late William T. Malster. Mayor Latrobe was reelected that year. In 1895 and 1897 the colored voters supported the Republican candidates. A number of colored men refused to support Lloyd Lowndes in 1899, when John Walter Smith was elected governor. Legislation against the race and other Democratic evidences of hostility somewhat retarded the trend of colored men to the Democratic ranks. The forcing of the nomination of E. Clay Timanus for Mayor in 1911, the Roosevelt-Taft fighting 1912 and the injection of the local option issue in the campaign of 1913 again made many colored voters, especially in the city, lukewarm. In the recent gubernatorial election a number of colored voters supported Emerson C. Harrington for governor, as well as other Democratic candidates. The Pluro-Partisan League and other local colored Democratic organizations were among the ardent supporters of the Democracy. While no definite promises were made, it is believed that the Democrats will back any movement to have the terms of colored schools in the counties lengthened, and try in other ways to win the support of a considerable section of the colored vote. Jacob C. Nicholson, head of the Pluro-Partisan League, was one of the most ardent supporters of Harrington. He got men all over the city to support the Democracy. He is a well-educated man and believes that the colored vote should be disseminated among all parts. James V. N. Stith, who supported Wilson in 1912, is another ardent Democratic supporter. He got out a budget for colored voters, the first time that such a thing had been done to aid the Democratic party in Maryland. He asserts that when the colored vote shows that it is willing to divide things will be better for the race in Maryland. A declaration contest under the auspices of the English Chatauqua of Howard University and Morgan College on December 11th. Morgan College will be represented by Misses Esther Sewell, Jeanette Johnson and Lula Briggs, whose subjects will be "Horatious" "Robert of Sicily," and "The Legend Beautiful" respectfully. Washington, November 4.—The funeral of James Hudnall, formerly a hotel proprietor here, was held at his home on French street Sunday. A large crowd attended, among whom were City Coucilman Harry S. Cummings, Thomas R. Smith, James V. N. Stiith and Robert J. Young, all of Baltimore. BASKETBALL ATHLETICS FOOTBALL BY SPORTSMAN STORER SLAUGHTERS MORGAN Flushing with their victory over the High School, the Saturday previous, Morgan College journey to the hills of Storer College last Saturday and were there whitewashed by the "farmer boys" 50-0. The story of the games is just one series of marches after another by the "Hillmen" toward the goal post of the Morganites. The Morganites were first put to the disadvantage of having to play in a cow pasture, next by having to play up the hill, and lastly but not leastly, trying to get thru a line that was as solid and as heavy as Barum and Bailey's biggest elephant. The Storer men rarely resorted to signs, the quarter back simply calling a place for each play and without further delay one of his 'hefties' with two or three hundred pounds of battering ram behind him "plowed" thru the Morgan's defense as if it were of much chaff, for 10 and 15 yard gains. Morgan vainly tried a kicking game, but here again fate and the wind were against them. Despite their weight, the Storer boys were not lacking in speed and frequently their play were of such a character as to startle the Baltimoreans. A Morgan eye-witness, in speaking of the game remarked that his team's only chance of scoring was "kiboshed" by a cow, who, seeing Morgan runner with the ball nearing the "farmers" goal posts, ran in front of him, and frightened the lad from the city so badly that he fumbled the ball—Curtain. ST. MARYS 40; ARMSTRONG 32 In a close and hard fought game the St. Mary's speed boy administered defeat to the second team of the Armstrong Manual Training School of Washington, at the former's cage Wednesday night. The shooting of Bohees, for St. Mary's and Smith for Armstrong featured the game, the former registering no less than 24 points for his team, while the latter counted 12 opportunities on foul, and four on field goals. St. Mary's started off with a rush scoring three successive field goals before their opponents could score. Several fouls by St. M. however gave Smith an opportunity to put a few points for his team. In this half St. Mary's showed beautiful team work frequently scoring a goal before the bewildered Washingtonians could see the ball snapped. Their foul tactics, however, permitted Smith, to get in some deadly work shooting 8 fouls out of 11. Beamon in this half played like a demon, being all over the floor at one time seemingly, and attempted a goal from near midfield, which came within an ace of counting. In the second half the Armstrong got away to a good start, and played rings around St. M. for a time, evening up the score 32-32. But here again Bohemes came to the rescue, and with successive shots from most difficult angles put a crimp in his former fellow townsmen's hopes of victory. The plucky little forward, of Armstrong dimmed Beamon's star in this half, and played around St. M.'s premier guard in a fashion that at times dazzed the onlookers as well as his impetuous opponent. Line up: Armstrong, Walker, and West, guards; Smith c; larker and Makel, forward. St. Mary's: Rice and Sohees,forwards, Shipley c; Beamon and Adams, guards. Hammond, substituted for Shipley. SAML. DRAWS WITH SAM M. Sam Langford and Sam McVey, America's permier colored heavyweights fought ten fast rounds to a draw before the American Sporting Club in New York last Tuesday night. McVey had the better of the argument during the early stages of the bout, but Langford saw how things were going and got busy on McV's body, which made the Oxford giant tighten up. There were no knockdowns during the fight. Once Sam. L. flung himself almost off his wobblers, when he missed a terrific right to the jaw that would have put McV in dreamland had it landed. Again in the 8th the Tarbaby landed a right on McV's jaw that made his teeth chatter, and almost dropped the great Sam. The fight uncovered the fact that the Boston Baby has gone to seed considerably, and is far from the fighting demon that he was. players in the Storer-Morgan game necessitated some change in Morgan's line-up. Hodges, tackle, was shifted to end, and Miles put in tackle, while Earl Johnson took his old position at halfback. Brown, Webb, and Scott starred for Morgan. M ST. WHITEWASHES ARMSTRONG 6 TO 0 Washington, D. C., Nov. 25. All Washington was surprised when M St. H. S. washed Armstrong in the morning game, Thanksgiving, by 6-0 score. The M St. boys were much lighter than their opponents, but their play was much superior and directed with greater concentration and precision. The M Street rooters cheered wildly when in the second quarter Armstrong fumbled, and M St. man grabbed the ball and raced over for the only score of the game. During the remainder of the game the ball see-sawed back and forth, up and down the field, neither side being able to score. JENKINS WINS ROAD RACE Frank Jenkins, the crack distance runner of the Far Rockaway High School defeated a field of 60 schoolboy runners, and annexed the individual trophy, in the annual Queens Borough cross-country championship, last Saturday. The distance was two-and-a-half miles over the Jamacia High School course and the little colored runner negotiated it in the fine time of 15 min. 10 sec., forty yards ahead of his nearest competitor. BROWN GIVEN THE DECISION Preston Brown, the clever colored featherweight from Port Richmond earned the decision over Young Pierce, veteran boxer of the Germantown, Pa., last Tuesday night, in a six-round affair. Brown was the aggressor throughout the fight using a stiff left to an advantage, and showing terrific speed. CHILD BORN IN AMBULANCE Refused admittance into the maternity ward of the Maryland General Hospital a little over a week ago, Lucy Mitchell, of 1913 Druid Hill avenue, remained in an ambulance several hours while efforts were being made to have some institution open its doors to her. During her stay in the ambulance a little girl was born. The woman is now at Provident Hospital, the officials of that institution having readily admitted her when they learned of the nature of the case. It is said that some one connected with the family of the young lady refused to let the accouchment take place at home. Under the efficient treatment of Dr. W. H. Wright and nurses of Provident Hospital, mother and daughter are doing nicely. DUBOIS CIBGLE AT CAPITAL Washington, Nov. 24.—The DuBois Circle of Baltimore, was entertained here Friday evening by Mrs. Helen Irvin, head of the domestic science department of the training school, at her residence on Fourth street.

Dr. Booker T. Washington had just commenced life, he was just doing thing for the masses of people rather than for the classes, but in the midst of a busy life, just at noonday. God called him. It would take this whole paper and then some to start to speak of the good things Dr. Washington accomplished for his people. How many men are successful in business, how many of them are now making good in this busy world, because they met and heard Dr. Washington. His whole work was to help men, to bring about a better feeling between the races, as far as possible destroy the mob spirit and have men punished by law if they violated it. Dr. Washington had his way of doing things, of speaking about things, of bringing people to him. He possessed that magnetism which would bring you right up to him. Perhaps there were many men who could beat him speaking, but none who could reach all classes of people like him. They would go from every section of the country to get to hear him. I had an opportunity to study the man. I took advantage of every opportunity to get in his company. I made several tours with him in the south, and I saw the greatness of the man, how he could talk, and how the people would fall over each other trying to get to say a word to him or to hear him speak. He did not rust out. Every minute of his time was spent in doing things. Perhaps if he could have spent just a little more time in rest he would have been here today. I recall how he looked in Boston, and I called attention of several to it, and even spoke to his son Davidson on the Pennsylvania R. R. one day. Just two weeks prior to his death, he was to speak in Petersburg, Va. The people were all eager to hear him, people of all races wanted to see Booker T. Washington. They secured their seat, but were disappointed when word reached the city that he could not get there. "Dr. Washington must be a sick man indeed" said Major R. R. Moton, "for he never disappoints." It was all settled when Dr. Frissell, reached the city, and said that he had urged Dr. Washington not to come because of his physical condition. He spoke tenderly of him, and this satisfied the crowd. It was hoped that the "wizard" would be spared to us many years yet to come, but the Lord willed otherwise I am sure the good work which he has planted will continue. Tuskegee Institution is the greatest institution of its kind in the world, and it is because Booker T. Washington lived. Some good man will take up. It is a monument erected to Dr. Washington. I am sure that the people all over the country will hold memorial services for this great man. It is hoped that Emmet J. Scott will continue in the work. No man knows more about Dr. Washington and his plans than Mr. Scott, because he has been right by his side for years and knew every inch of the great educator. Perhaps Major R. R. Moton will be called into service. He is well prepared to take up the work. But this is to be ascertained. I am not going to make any suggestion. I want to assure Mrs. Washington, the two sons and Mrs. Pittman, the daughter, that they have the sympathy of America, and we shall miss the leader of the American Negroes. It is hard for me to write a real letter this week, because I was so worked up over the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. I was in Aberdeen, Miss., when the word came to me, and I hardly knew what to do or what to say. It was a blow to me, and one I shall not get over soon. I was at the home of Mrs. T. J. Sykes, when the Commercial Appeal reached town telling about this death. "Can it be true?" Then I recalled the message which came to Petersburg, Va., when I was there, and I had to agree that it was true, and then I felt tears flowing from my eyes. The Northeast Mississippi Annual Conference was in session in Aberdeen presided over by Bishop J. M. Conner. Bishop Conner certainly lives in the hearts of the people, and we are all proud of him, because he is a man. He has done some good work here. It is true that some of the men down here tried to kill him, but all they said has proven to be groundless and there is no getting around it. In order to help the daughter of one of the ministers of the conference who had learned shorthand and a graduate from Campbell College, the school of the church in the state, Bishop Conner used her as his stenographer and secretary in the state during the conferences, and for that same crowd or some other crowd tried to establish a white slave case against the man. His record was clear, and it was dropped. Bishop Conner went right to Jackson as soon as he heard it and told the judge he was ready for trial. Told the officers he wanted them to probe right in to the bottom of it. He was not arrested, but was there if any charge be made against him. All because he was ready and willing. I saw something in this conference I had never seen any where before. When it was time to elect delegates for general conference, a motion was made that the secretary cast the unanimous ballot of the conference for Rev. W. H. Edwards as the leader of the delegation. It went through, and this man was elected before any one else. Dr. Edwards has just gotten into the hearts of the men, and he knows how to handle them. He is a man who raises all of his conference claims, and there in addition to this is the financial leader of the state. He has done more for Campbell College than any man in it. This has put him in the front rank. Dr. Edwards believes in treating men right, and this is another thing in his favor. I was proud to see what was done for him. Proud of his record. Rev. J. W. Hair is following right in his steps, and he was elected in his office to lead his delegation Dr. Hair is after the Church Extension Society, but he will have to beat Dr. B.F. Watson, and this official has rendered such excellent service that it will be utterly impossible to defeat him. I am in Yazoo City attending the conference here. I told you about the lynching in my letter last week. They can lynch men for breakfast, dinner or supper. It is wonderful that they do not kill more of us, because when a man is lynched there is never any one punished for it, although they take the prisoner from the law. If a few men were punished by the law they violate, lynching would stop, but it will never be stopped as long as the Coroner will say "Came to his death at the hands of an unknown mob." Men who engage in lynching today do not disguise their identity. God give us men. TAPPAHANNOCK NOTES Tappahannock, Va., Nov. 24.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGFR COLORED WORKERS FOR CHARITY Organized Effort For The Betterment of Conditions Among Colored Population Of Baltimore One of the very few opportunities for both races to work together for the improvement of our city has been furnished by the organization of the District Board of Colored Workers of the Western District of the Federated Charities. Fifteen years ago, the work of the Federated Cnarities was not so well nor so favorably known among the colored people of this city as it is now. Then the worker for the Charity Association was looked upon with distrust and, among the poorer Negroes, with perhaps suspicion. Even the more progressive doubted the sincerity of the interest which the organization professed, and vague rumors were current that an unfair distribution of the funds was made so that few if any Negroes in distress were helped. In the midst of this unfortunate state of affairs, a group of men and women including Dr. Thomas S. Hawkins, Dr. J. H. N, Waring, Bishop Hurst and other public-spirited citizens, with the cooperation of Dr. J.W. Magruder, General Secretary of the Federated Charities, set about the task of organizing a group of colored workers to assist as volunteers in establishing a better understanding between the Negroes of Baltimore and the Charity Organization. For fifteen years, this group, changing in the persons composing it, but constant to the aim which inspired it, has quietly, faithfully given such help as it coul$^{-1}$ and has spread their belief, based on intimate relations with the District Charity Officers in thickly settled colored neighborhoods, that the Federated Charities Association deserves the confidence and cooperation of everyone in the community. That the work of this colored board has extended beyond the general nature indicated above, may be shown by two movements that can be traced to the activities of this body:—The Social Service Classes of 1914-15 for Colored Volunteer Workers, now entering, under Mrs. Eugene R. Smith, upon its third year of successful study of scientific treatment of social disorders; and the Social Survey Committee which has for three years been striving for the betterment of conditions within the neighborhood included between Pennsylvania and Druid Hill Avenues and Hoffman and Biddle Streets. The work of this committee begins to promise success, as the city authorities are now carefully studying the situation to see what can best be done. Another important accomplishment has been the aid given in the organizing of another Board of Colored Workers to render similar assistance in East Baltimore. But the Colored Board is not looking backward at what it has done, so much as it is looking forward at its plans for the future. This year, it hopes to enlist a much larger number of workers than ever before. The board will not be content until it has placed at least one colored friendly visitor in touch with each family that applies to the Federated Charities for help. The board is appealing especially to the colored teachers for their membership because of the large number of cases of truancy and retardation that are connected with these cases of distress. Through the columns of the AfroAmerican, from time to time during this winter, it is planned to keep the people of the city in touch with the work and meantime issues a hearty invitation to all to visit its meetings on the first and third Thursdays at 4 p. m. at 1220 McCulloh street. SESSIONS OF COUNTY TEACHERS' INSTITUTE Washington, November 23. Teachers of schools in two Maryland counties—Prince George and Montgomery—were in session in teachers' institutes yesterday.

Teachers attending the Montgomery institute were visitors yesterday at the Armstrong Manual Training School. In the afternoon C. M. Thomas, of the Miner Normal School; Miss Lucy E. Moten, principal of that school, and Misses Mary Wilson and Ada M. Henderson spoke. BOY SCOUT NEWS SPECIAL TO ALL SCOUTS! Say fellows, watch out for any boy you meet, see or hear of, the name of WALTER BARNES. This boy has been away from home over two months. He is supposed to be yet in Baltimore. His mother makes a special request that we ALL help her locate her boy. Immediately you hear of him notify the editor, 1221 Ashland avenue. I have a communication to mention to you as the Boys' Column has been a little slow in the past few weeks. I wrote a letter to the Radio Inspector asking how many licensed colored Radio Operators are in the United States. I received the following reply— Baltimore, Md. Your letter of the 4th inst. received. To the knowledge of this office there is only one colored amateur operator in Washington, D. C. and there was one in Philadelphia, Pa., but he dropped the study of radio. You are the only one in this city. If there are others in the United States this office does not know of same. R. Y. Cadmus Radio Inspector. So you can learn from this standpoint that there are very few colored operators. Why not others start too? Troop No. 3 has agreed to organize a basketball team. The manager will be Mr. Charles Proctor, assistant scout master. Members of our troop will also take the tenderfoot examination at next meeting. Names of successful members will appear next week.

WORLD'S CHAMPION COTTON GROWER Sam McCall lives on a little ten-acre farm down in Alabama. He is a colored man, and yet he is widely and favorably known all through the South and a great many learned men visit him. This is because he is the champion cotton grower in the world. Not that he has the most acres planted to cotton, but that he grows the most cotton to the acre. You can get a better idea of Sam's success when it is explained that the average production of cotton is two-fifths of a bale per acre. Sam manages to grow three bales to the acre. Once he went as high as eight bales to the acre! FELIX B. PYE Sr. 102 E. Mulberry Street Phone. Mt. Vernon 3603 JOHN H, TOAD 142 W.

SCOTT Upward Climb of the Secretary of Tuskegee Institute. NATIVE OF LONE STAR STATE Former Private Secretary to the Late Dr. Booker T. Washington May Be Promoted to the Presidency of Institution Which He Has Served so Long and Faithfully. By N. BARNETT DODSON. There is much speculation as to the successor of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder and president of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. Mention has been made of several well informed and capable men among the leaders at Tuskegee. Major Robert R. Moton, commandant of cadets at the Hampton (Va.) institute, has also been mentioned, but the logical successor of Dr. Washington is Emmett J. Scott, who was Dr. Washington's confidential secretary for eighteen years. Mr. Scott is at the present time secretary of the institute, having been elected to that responsible position about two years ago. He knows every detail of the work and is personally acquainted with every trustee or large contributor to the work of the school. There is no other man so capable who knows the work, aim and needs of Tuskegee in the same degree as does Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott has had a most interesting and successful career. It was while he was private secretary to Dr. Washington that former President Taft appointed him in 1900 as one of the three EMMETT J. SCOTT. commissioners to investigate the financial, industrial and agricultural resources of the republic of Liberia. The other two commissioners were W. Morgan Shuster of the District of Columbia, chairman, and Dr. George Sale of Georgia. Emmett J. Scott is a native of Texas, and the shining touches of his liberal education were acquired at Wiley university, at Marshall, Tex., from which he bore an honor diploma and carries the degree of A.M. His early years of employment were spent in the office of the Houston Post. About eighteen years ago Dr. Booker T. Washington visited Houston and lectured to the people in the interest of Tuskegee institute. Mr. Scott headed the committee on arrangements. So perfectly was the affair managed that Dr. Washington became deeply impressed with the executive ability displayed by the enterprising young man and finally secured his consent to go with him to Tuskegee as his private secretary. In this capacity, as the world knows, Mr. Scott has had a remarkable career. So closely has he fitted into the Tuskegee system that he has become practically indispensable to the welfare of the institution and an essential factor in all of the varied interests, educational and otherwise, represented by Dr. Washington. He is painstaking and thorough, tactful and discreet, patient and well poised, modest and unassuming withal, and he bears his great responsibilities with the skill and balance of a veteran. In many ways Mr. Scott has rendered substantial service to his race. As corresponding secretary of the National Negro Business league he has been instrumental in bringing both known and unknown material to the front through the carefully balanced annual programs prepared under his general direction. His unmerging judgment of men and keen discrimination, as well as tactful encouragement of the worthy and progressive, have been the means of quickening the commercial instinct of the race. To him is due the entire credit of calling the attention of the war department to the advisability of having Negro regiments in the United States army and for securing from former President Roosevelt the order directing that the bands of all four of the colored regiments should be hereafter led by chief musicians of their own color, thus opening a new and valuable door of opportunity to the aspiring Negro musician. RESULTS OF CO-OPERATION. How the Organization Society Helps the Masses in Virginia. Whenever all the colored people of a community unite earnestly in asking and working safely and wisely for a needed improvement, whether it is a better schoolhouse, a manual training or cooking equipment, better teachers, better sanitation or anything else worth while, they usually get it. Scores of delegates at the recent third annual meeting of the Negro Organization society, which was held in Petersburg, Va., testified to this truth. Major R. R. Moton, commandant at Hampton institute and president of the society, said in part: "The movement among colored people for better schools, better homes, better health, better farms, seems to have made an irresistible appeal to all the people of the state. Religious, benevolent, secret and educational organizations of every character have joined in this movement. Leading white people, including the officials of the Virginia boards of health, education and of charities and correction, have been most cordial in their support. "The state wide campaign for clean premises, clean homes and clean lives has received help and support little dreamed of. The two races have been brought together on the ground of common needs of humanity. We have given white people a chance which they have long desired—a chance to help the Negro without compromise or embarrassment. They have met us more than halfway. "I am most anxious that we shall continue to be sane and wise in what we do and say and not be swept off our feet by those who feel that the great problems of humanity can be solved by abusing those with whom we do not agree." Reports from delegates, including many women, showed clearly that hundreds of rural communities are waking up to the possibility of making genuine progress by having people work together for common economic and social interests, regardless of religions or fraternal affiliations. Ideas gathered at preceding meetings have been carried to distant rural districts and have been the means of doing much good. Professor J. M. Gandy, president of the State Normal school at Petersburg, who is the executive secretary of the Negro Organization society, reported that in one year over 45,000 people had been addressed on subjects relating to community improvement, 502 school terms had been lengthened, 604 school leagues had been reached, $340 had been given to five schools and that these small gifts had inspired the people to raise thousands upon thousands of dollars for their own schools. T. C. Erwin of Petersburg, the society's field agent, reported that 247 organizations and 643 individuals had become members of the Negro Organization society. Professor Erwin has been at work in thirty-eight Virginia counties. He has carried a message of new hope through organization to thousands of men and women. He has reached school improvement leagues in nineteen counties and has aroused the people to the necessity of practicing self help and working out a constructive plan. Dr. H. D. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute, paid a warm tribute to the achievements of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He declared that the Negro Organization society stood for three big ideas which had rare transforming power—co-operation, good will and service. Several hundred delegates attended the annual meeting and heard addresses by Mayor Cabaniss and Professor James E. Shields of Petersburg, Rev. Dr. L. L. Downing, Ronnoke; Professor S. C. Atkins, Winston-Salem, N. C.; W. T. B. William, Hampton institute; J. H. Binford, Jackson Davis, Ennion G. Williams, R. C. Stearnes and Miss Agnes D. Randolph of Richmond; Principal E. A. Long of Christiansburg, Dr. W. E. Atkins and Mrs. Jamie Porter Barret of Hampton and many other white and colored speakers who are experts in community improvement. Liberal Gifts For Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. The Carlton avenue branch of the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian association is conducting an energetic campaign to raise $15,000, the amount necessary to cover a gift of $8,700 with which to erect a $100,000 building. The campaign began Nov. 11. The amount received in cash and subscriptions up to Wednesday evening, Nov. 17, was $11,016.50. The largest amount subscribed by any one individual was $1,000, the gift of Frank H. Gilbert, one of Brooklyn's leading business men. Mr. Gilbert is a member of the committee of management of the association and is well known throughout the country as the registrar of the National Negro Business league, a position which he has held for many years. The association is quite confident of raising the required sum. Alabama's Champion Cotton Grower. One of the most widely known farmers of the south is Samuel McCall of Alabama. Mr. McCall grows more cotton to the acre than any other farmer, so it is said. The average production of cotton is two-fifths of a bale to the acre, but Mr. McCall grows three bales to the acre, and one year he produced eight bales per acre. He is known as the champion cotton grower. Bar Association Honors Scratchin. The Beltrama Bar association of Bemidji. Minn., recently elected Attorney C. W. Scratchin vice president of the association. This honor came to Lawyer Scratchin solely on his merit as an attorney and man of splendid attainments.

FORMER BALTIMOREAN IWINS DAMAGE SUIT Riverhead, N. Y., Nov. 52. - As a result of seating Mr. George W. Queen and his family in the balcony when the coupons he held called for the orchestra, Edward V. Fitzgerald manager of the Regent Moving Picture Theatre at Bayshore was the loser to the amount of $200 in a suit filed by Mr. Queen in the Supreme Court here recently. Mr. Queen purchased three reserved set tickets at the box office of the theatre on July 10. His wife and little niece were with him. He claimed that he was discriminated against on account of color in that he had been sent to the balcony when his tickets called for first-floor seat. The court sustained his contention although the defendant denied that he had discriminated against Mr. Queen. Mr. Queen is the leader of the Colored Democracy of, Suffolk County and resides at Babylon, N. Y. Great Organizer, Leader and Promoter of Peace. Aside from Dr. Booker T. Washington's work as president of the Tuskegee institute he was an active worker in numerous business, civic, religions and educational societies and conferences for bettering the conditions in the south and the country at large for both races. Abun fifteen years ago, after giving the subject the closest consideration, he decided that the next best move outside of the school at Tuskegee was the formation of an organization to be composed solely of business men. Accordingly he issued a call early in the summer of 1900 for a meeting for the purpose mentioned, to be held in Boston in August, 1900. There was a generous response to this call by men and women engaged in business or who contemplated doing so. The outcome of the meeting was the organization of what is now known as the National Negro Business league, the fifteenth anniversary of which was celebrated at Boston for three days the third week in August. He was the founder and promotor of the farmers' conference, held in January of each year at the Tuskegee institute, founder of the workers' conference, held annually at Tuskegee, and the promoter of many other agencies for uplift among the people of the rural districts of Macon county, Ala. He was a great organizer, financier, business man and leading educator. For his persistence in advocating industrial education as a foundation for further advancement he was often referred to as the apostle of industrial education. His annual tours of one or more states gave him an opportunity to see and know personally of conditions among the members of the race as few other public men of his character and standing have knowledge of in any section of the country. He made friends for the race at home and abroad and died beloved by his fellow citizens throughout the United States. ... Shaving Parlor ... All Styles of Hair,Cutting 15c.

For the past eight years she had been connected with the city schools, and at the time of her death was a teacher in School No. 105, East street.

MISS MILLHOLLAND LECTURES Miss Inez Millholland. reputed to be the most beautiful of American women, and a suffragett of national fame, delivered a lecture at the Academy of Music last Sunday be- fore a large audience. At the con- clusion of her lecture she invited the audience to ask questions, which she would be glad to answer. Among the questions asked evident- ly by one of Baltimore’s horde of Bourbons was ‘Should the Negro women be allowed to vote’? Miss Millholland, without the slightest hesitation declared that she was in favor of the enfranchisement. of all women, whether they be black or white, rich or poor, intelligent or ignorant, Miss Millhalland has for a long time been prominent in the councils of the National Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Colored People. THe’ AND THE * AFRO”- ‘The Afro-American has any num- ber of energetic, ‘newsies’” whe sell anywhere from 10 to 200 papers every week, but they all have te take off their hats to ‘‘Ike'’ Bannis. ter. There is hardly anyone ir northwest Baltimore who has not heard his sentatorian voice calling “Afro”? But last week “‘Ike”’ even surprised himself. When Sunday night came and he had chance to look over his list he found that he had sold 800‘‘Afros’’ not a bad two day’s work. Isaac ‘is one of the real hustlers and when one counts his activities you reaily have to give it to him. He has a wife, four or five little Bannisters, works in corset establishment and goes to Morgan College where he is in the second year college prepara- tory. Isaac says he is going to finish the college course in Morgan and then maybe he will go to Yale or Harvaid or mabye-go in for the Rhodes scholarship at Oxford. ‘Whatever he does he say he is go- ing to keep right on selling “Afros’? and will be to the news- selling force what Morgan and Rockefeller are to the financial world. Judging from Isaac’s last week’s performance, nothing is im- possible to him, He says the Afro- American is the best paper in the world and he makes everybody else believe as he does. Isaac is always welcome at ihe Afro-American office. “ AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER | You Don’t : Sh : BUY Re ee vow fete W ill Soon J. ee ath ele) ose Uh alee | 100 ann tl Ey i" To Secure One of Those Beautiful Building Lots »=PATAPSCO PARK...
