KING ALBERT PRAISES THEM IN PERSON Thrilling Story of Dauntless Courage —Belgians Holding Position Were Forced Back—General Joffre Or ordered, Town Retaken and Turcos Did It. ( (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Paris, Nov. 13.—A thrilling story of a wild night charge by Turcos, France's African soldiers, is told by French officers arriving here today. The fearless Africans captured Ramskappelle at the point of the bayonet in one of the most dramatic encounters of the war. So great was their bravery that King Albert, commander of the Belgian army, went in person to Furnes, near Dunkirk, to congratulate them. This was an important success for the allies, because it prevented the Germans from advancing upon Furnes. The story of the capture of Ramskappelle was told today for the first time. "Belgians had been holding the position," said these officers, "but they were attacked by overwhelming numbers and forced to fall back. General Joffre ordered that Ramskappelle be retaken at all costs. Town is Destroyed. "French infantry moved forward, attacking the town upon two sides under SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS TO MEET AT BIRMINGHAM Sunday School Workers from All Sections to Be Present at Next Meeting. ```markdown ``` (Special to 'Chicago Defender.) Nashville., Tenn., Nov. 13.—Among the important items transacted at the National Baptist Publishing Board meeting yesterday was the awarding of the 1915 session of the Sunday School Congress to Birmingham, Ala., to be held June 9 to 14. Close and spirited was the contest between Memphis, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New York City and Birmingham. There were several meetings of the board, with numerous conferences, together with telegraphic communications with some of the cities, before the officials could decide the winner. The result of Birmingham's victory at the conclusion of the meeting was announced by Rev. Henry A. Boyd, the congress secretary, who stated that Birmingham had won because she started in time, having allowed her invitation, which was extended last year, to go over for this year and be repeated for 1915. While the meeting was in session at Beaumont, Texas, last June the Ministers' Conference of Birmingham telegraphed an invitation and then backed it up by a similar one after the adjournment of the Texas meeting. The meeting in 1915 will be the tenth annual session of this gathering of Sunday school workers and is expected to draw largely from all sections of the United States. The Beaumont meeting drew from twenty-eight states and had an attendance of about 2,500. It is understood that the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Birmingham, Rev. J. W. Goodgame, president, and Rev. J. D. Kent, secretary, with the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Association, of which Birmingham is a member, Rev. S. M. Hall, moderator, and the Alabama State Convention, Rev. J. H. Eason, president, have appointed a committee already to begin work. This committee, having met and organized, is as follows: J. W. Goodgame, S. a murderous cannonade which the Germans directed against them. The Germans finally gave way, but upon being reinforced pressed forward again and retook the town. By this time nothing remained of Ramskappelle but the name and piles of wreckage and dead soldiers. "Again the Germans were driven back, but again they returned and recaptured the place at the point of the bayonet. Twice again the position was taken and lost. Darkness found the Germans occupying the site of Ramskappelle. "The quaint C. Flemish houses had been battered . . . heaps of stone and mortar by the furious bombardment. Soldiers fought among the piles of debris, using them for defensive works. Use Guns as Clubs. "After darkness had fallen, the Turcos were aroused and told to fall in. The command was given to charge bayonets. With wild yells, the Africans sprange forward. The Germans poured in a hot fire and the German batteries were soon in action, sending a storm of bursting shells against the blacks, but they pressed on. In the darkness the battle raged around the mounds of ruined dwellings. Battle shouts rose above the roll of musketeer. Guns were used as war clubs. The flash of powder gleamed upon the cold steel of the bayonets. The Germans were suddenly struck with panic and rapidly fell back, evidently over-estimating the numbers opposing them. As a result of the loss of Ramskappelle they have to fall back across the Yser. The Turcos lost several hundred men, but the German losses were much heavier as they were pursued by the Africans who shot them down without mercy." S. J. M. BROCK DIES IN QUAKER CITY Real Estate Buyer for John Wanamaker and Philadelphia's Pioneer Financier Passes Away After Short Illness. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 13.—S. J. M. Brock, a prominent financier and real estate broker, died at his residence in this city after a short illness.

Johnson.) (Special to Chicago Defender.) New York City, Nov. 13—Hon. J. Frank Wheaton, lawyer and noted orator, has denounced the Democratic party and claimed allegiance to the Republicans. During the recent election he campaigned the state of New York in behalf of the newly-elected Republican Governor, Whitman. He is now resting from his labor and awaiting his reward circuit. Wonders never cease. Mme. Louise Hill, late of Rochester, N. Y., the noted hair culturist has opened recently a beautiful emporium at 2303 Seventh ave., New York city, while it is known that Seventh avenue is the most beautiful avenue in upper New York City and the madame's store being a credit to the avenue, you can readily imagine the beauty of her establishment.

Miss Wilkes has gone to Chicago to see her mother. New York claims the honor and distinction of having the first and only colored female dentist in the person of Dr. Gertrude E. Curtis, whose efforts has been crowned with success in her chosen profession. The Blank sisters, two Chicago girls who eight months ago started their stage career at the Monogram Theater, Chicago, have played in some of the largest and best theaters in the South and East with great success. They have played four weeks in New York and Brooklyn, and are now awaiting orders to go on the big time. Perrin and Crosby, two Chicago favorites, are headliners at the Lafayette Theater this week.

MAYME SMITH NOT GUILTY OF POISONING MR. J. H. BROWN A. H. Mrs. Mayme Smith, Whom Estelle Vanderberg Accused of Poisoning J. H. Brown. NO TRACES OF POISON WERE FOUND IN THE STOMACH OF BROWN AND THE PROSE-CUTION FELL THROUGH. UNDERTAKING CONCERN ESTABLISHED IN 1865 STILL IN LEAD Mrs. Mayme Smith, 5536 Prairie avenue, charged with administering poison to Mr. J. H. Brown, a roomer, who died in her house, Aug. 21st, was declared not guilty by a jury in Judge Sabath's court Monday morning. Although the case was not given the sensational publicity that is oftimes given cases of less importance, and this one concerned a human life, hundreds of friends of the accused woman both in Chicago and Kansas, were anxiously concerned until the verdict was known. Judge Is Indignant. Estelle Vanderberg, better known as Garbie Carson, was the main witness against Mrs. Smith, and it was evident that Judge Sabath only considered her testimony as the envious animous of a jealous woman, for in his charge to the jury, he voiced his indignation that such a ridiculous charge should be seriously considered against a woman of her good character and high standing in the community. The jury acted in accordance with his instructions and promptly brought in a verdict acquitting her. The friend in need is the friend in UNDERTAKIN CERN ESTA 1865 ST Business Founded by the Late Emanuel Jackson Forty-nine Years Ago Reorganized and Incorporated to Meet Increased Demand for Services. SON HEADS NEW COMPANY With Complete and Up-to-date Outfit Daniel Jackson and His Associates Are Prepared to Meet the Requirements of an Exacting Patronage. The undertaking establishment founded by the late Emanuel Jackson in 1865, nearly half a century ago, is still the leading concern in that line of business in Chicago and one of the race enterprises that the citizens point to with pride. During all the forty-nine years that the name Jackson has been displayed on signboard and window an ever-increasing patronage has deed, and in this case there were many of them. Her father, Mr. William White, came all the way from Topeka, Kan., accompanied by his own legal counsel, Attorney Larner, but Mrs. Smith, however, was already represented by Attorney Latter of this city. The Majesty of the Law. The case against Mrs. Smith simply went to pieces. No traces of poison were found in the stomach of the dead man after the most careful analysis. The prosecution could not contradict this fact. The vindication of Mrs. Smith is another evidence of power of the courts for good when cases are tried on their merits, according to the strict letter of the law. The Cause in Brief. Summed up in short, the cause of the trouble was like this. Mrs. Vanderberg once roomed with Mrs. Smith. Being found undesirable, she was asked to move, which she did, leaving her trunk behind as security for her unpaid account. These facts brought out during the trial, showed the real object of the complainant. ING CON-BLISHED IN ILL IN LEAD always found the best in service and equipment that has characterized the modern embalmer and funeral director. Started in Time of Need. Emanuel Jackson launched his business in Chicago at a time when it was sorely-needed. At that time race' enterprises were few and far between and a dependent people were subjected to the exorbitant prices and had to await the convenience of white undertakers when their loved ones were to be buried. The coming of Emanuel Jackson, who at once demonstrated his fitness for the work, put a stop to this. Through the simple plan of accepting, churches, lodges and clubs as sponsors he extended credit to deserving people. Whether for cash or on credit the service was always the best, and Jackson's became known as the "House of Quality," and the same standard is maintained today. Being a farsighted man, he took his sons into the business, with him, and in a short time Daniel Jackson became (Continued on page 7.) A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK Now is the time to begin planning for the Christmas trade. On account of the war America will not be able to import toys and novelties from Germany and France. Thus we must depend upon the American manufacturer for our Christmas gifts. The Afro-American business man should make his plans now to take advantage of this condition and he should not forget the Afro-American manufacturer. Dolls may be purchased in Nashville, Overton's Toilet Articles in Chicago. Just think of the thousands who can be made happy from these factories if our business men push their goods at this time. Then, don't forget those splendid books by Afro-American authors. They are so appropriate as gifts. INJUSTICE TO THE RACE BY AMERICAN DAILY PAPERS An Open Letter to the Editor of the Chicago Tribune by Hon. George W. Ellis, Based Upon the Stigma Placed Upon Race by Use of the Word "Negro." TERM INCITES HATRED. Attorney Writes Logical, Unimpassioned Protest Against the Undue Publicity Given to Real or Alleged Criminal Acts by Individuals Members of the Race. The Chicago Defender was not alone in its protest against the daily newspapers of Chicago for their unjust treatment of the Afro-American race in their publicity in the Eva Steinhaus robbery case. Hon. George W. Ellis, also rightfully indignant, sent the following letter to the editor of the Chicago Tribune: To the Honorable Editor of the Chicago Dally Tribune, the Tribune Building, Chicago, Ill. My Dear Mr. Editor: I noticed a few days ago an article in the Tribune in which is described a daring robbery upon a Mrs. Eva Steinhaus by one Ernst Gatewood. The supposed crime is set forth in such particularity as to arouse indignation, inflame the public mind and carry conviction to your many readers. A few days later you published another article in which the main story in all its essential and criminal facts is discredited, and in a large measure Gatewood is exonerated of the grave crime of robbery charged only a few days before. Insofar as your paper published the supposed crime as modified by later developments, harmonizes with the general high character and quality of your great publication, noted for its courage and justice, and I desire to commend you for your course in this regard. But to my mind there are two respects in which adequate separation to the Negro race has not yet been done. I mention them because this case is only one of many in which even greater injustice is done, not only to a Negro suspected of crime, but to the whole Negro race, the great majority of which, is like other PYTHIAN BUILDING TO COST $120,000 (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Louisville, Ky., Nov. 13.—The new Pythian building, which is being erected at a cost of $120,000, will be the most commodious of its kind in the country. The cornerstone hyling will be thanksgiving day. Pythians from all over the state will attend. A delegation from Chicago will attend the dedication early next year. It will be led by Major R. R. Jackson, a member of the Illinois legislature. DR.FOSTERADVOCATES INTERMARRIAGE; RACE PROBLEM SOLUTION University of Chicago Professor Says White Race Will Absorb Black Race In Course of Time. Fact, He Says, Bears. Out Theory Intermingling Not Symptom Of Mental Defect Believes More Cultured Blacks Will Mingle With the More Cultured Whites In The South Until One Race Absorbs The Other Dr. George Burnham Foster of the University of Chicago, who startled the community by advocating the intermarriage of the white and black races at a meeting of the N.

The noted Midway professor was addressing an audience, at Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, white. The audience was entirely of that race. Various Ideas of Man. He said in part: In the final summing up, after thousands of years, there will be no pure white race in America, nor will there be a black one. Man has been thought of in many ways throughout the ages. He has been considered an angel by some, an intellect by others, and nowadays they are coming to think of him as a toiler engaged in performing the work of the world.

"For this reason the idea, unpopular, to be sure, but still indicated by the facts, that the races in America are amalgamating is not unwelcome to many thinkers. Let me give you an example: A year ago at a public gathering I addressed an audience which was one-third unquestionably Negro, another third unquestionably white, and the rest in between. "That simply goes to s are now part way along in which I do not hesitate to accomplish in time. The is to be absorbed. "In fact, the thing will no pellant in a few hundred yea now," he said.

Surely, there every reason to believe that that condition will result." Prof. Foster declared that all the solutions to the Negro problem which have been offered thus far are inadequate. He scored especially the theory of geographical segregation. DOUGHERTY CRITIC ON WASHINGTON SUN. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C. Nov. 13—Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, who has made a national reputation in New York City and elsewhere as a writer of sporting, athletic and dramatic news, has taken service on the Washington Sun. Last week the Sun carried one of the best pages of matter, featuring these subjects, that the nation's capital has ever seen in any paper of the race. The folks who star upon the stage and on the field of athletics and activity have an immense following and the management of the Sun exhibited great wisdom in attaching so skillful and accomplished a writer and promoter as Mr. Dougherty to its staff. In addition to handling the news of the stage and sport, the erstwhile New Yorker will have charge of the advertising interests of the Sun generally, and will make himself useful all over the paper, as he knows the business from A to Z. Mr. Dougherty is a good "mixer," and has already won a host of friends in this neck o' the woods.

He said in part: "Following are a few of the sons and daughters of these states who are making good in Los Angeles: Miss Louise Benton, formerly of Missouri, is filling the position of clerk in the assessor's office, having passed the highest examination out of a number of 400 applicants. Two of our Afro-American school teachers, Miss Bessie Brewington and Miss Ella Kinnard, doing creditable work in the "public schools, were once residents of Kansas and of Afro-American business men of the Kansas. Jones, who arrived here some twenty years ago without a dollar, but now able to retire, his wealth being estimated at something over $100,000, was born and reared in Missouri." / First Afro-American State Club. Mr. Johnson then reminded his audience that the Kansas-Missouri Club, federated in the very beginning, was the first state club organized in this city among Afro-American people. "One year ago," he continued, "we stood before you, pleading for the organization of more state clubs, and we are proud to say that you have now twelve state societies and a perma- nial organized federation whose various members have power to do a great work for the uphill of the Afro-American race." A splendid response in behalf of the State Federation of Clubs was given by Eugene Walker, while the attitude of professional men toward the organization of state clubs was eloquently B. Erion Corent, a successful attorney, and D. Burton Corent, a successful minister of the ministry by the Rev. J. D.

Johnson; president; T. W. Patton; vice president; T. W. treasurer; Mrs. Laura Larsaub secretary; Mrs. Vola Hubbard; assistant secretary. Vernon Heads Missouri List. In the list of successful people of Missouri William T. Vernon, former register of the United States treasury, stands foremost. Mr. Vernon, born forty-three years ago in the state of Missouri, was trained for service in the public schools and in Lincoln University at Jefferson City, Mo. After six years of teaching in the corn state he was placed in charge of an institution, which was Western University, Quindare, Kansas. After ten years, the school growing in that time under his supervision from one small building, with an enrollment of ten pupils, to an institution comprising thirteen acres of land, five large buildings, a faculty of twenty teachers and a student body numbering 400. When Mr. Vernon was appointed by ex-President Roosevelt he was granted a leave of absence by the Western University in order that he might serve as register of the treasury. Lin-Manuel Wilson, City Mo. and Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, have conferred on Mr. Vernon the degrees of A. M. and LL. D. respectively. Potato King from Kansas.

Breedlove.

Washington is president, the officers elected by the board, philips, pilphus, Albert Ellis, vice-president, love, secretary; S. L. Beaty, auditor; W. Williams, treasurer. The object of the organization is to better business conditions of the colored people. A. M. E. Church. The morning subject by Rev. H. W. Jameson was "The Objective in Christianity." The thought developed was that we have no permanency here—this is not our rest—and our loins must be kept girded. The evening subject was "Stewardship." The speaker said that there was no such thing as absolute ownership and no other property; we are our brother's keeper. Saturday the clerical rehearsal for the Christmas cannita. Salem Baptist Church A temperance program was given by the Sunday school on Sunday under the direction of Mrs. E. T. Dean, superintendent of the temperance department of the school. A solo enlistment of the boy "Boy" was sung by Miss Alice Baxter, a paper on "Doing Good" was read by Miss Virginia Smith and an instrumental solo was given by Miss Helen Johnson. In the morning the pastor preached on "The Way of Life" and at night on "Nachadnazzerz." Mrs. Baxter, the president, was in charge of the meeting of the B. Y. U. FUNERAL OF MR. ALLEN AT EBENZER The funeral of Mr. Isaac Allen was preached from Ebenecer Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon. Rev. A. L. Harris officiated. Mr. Allen was a charter member of the Hermon Baptist Church.

Mr. Groves was born a slave in Kentucky, but emigrated to Kansas in 1879 during the well-known exodus to that state. After some little time he secured work as farm laborer at 40 cents a day in Edward's town, and at a year, saving enough money to enable him the next year to rent nine acres of land, three of which he planted in white and sweet potatoes and in watermelons. So successful did Mr. Groves prove as a farmer that at the end of three years of labor he had bought eighty acres of land, which he has subsequently increased to 500 acres of the best land in the state. He has been called "the potato king" because of the great quantity of potatoes being produced on his farm in one year and shipped away, together with the rest of the crops from neighboring farmers. His wealth is estimated at something like $100,000. AUTHORS AND BOOKS Review of New Books, Pamphlets and Other Literary Efforts Submitted to The Chicago Defender. NEGRO CULTURE IN WEST AFRICA is the title of the new book recently written and published by George W. Ellis of Chicago, IL, who for a number of years was one of the American diplomatic representatives to the Republic of Siberia and who is now contributing editor of the Journal of Race Development at Clark University, Worcester, Mass., one of the leading literary and university magazines of the world. The writer of the book is a research organized authority upon African Negro race. As a member of learned scientific and Literary societies of America and Europe it is exceedingly fortunate for both the white and black races that this young scholar devoted himself while in the diplomatic service abroad in West Africa to the careful scientific and sociological study of the Negro in his aboriginal home. Having spent four years in the department of the University of Kansas, he completed two-year course in Gunton's Institute of Economics and Sociology, New York City, and after two years postgraduate work in philosophy and psychology in Howard University, Washington, D. C., the author was exceedingly well prepared to bring from his African studies a rare and rich fund of knowledge which lurks behind the important phases of this African study of the Negro race are embodied in the volume just issued on the press. It is undoubtedly a remarkable book and constitutes one of the most significant contributions of its kind ever made concerning the Negro in Africa. In fact, nothing similar to it was ever before published. It touches one of the high-water marks of the Negro in sociological scholarship and gives new insight into the important phases of this world in every section of our world. With its wealth of proverbs and folklore literature translated with care from the only Negro language known to exist in Africa, with a description of their outer life and a profound interpretation of their innest thoughts, emotions and inner feelings, the author has materially contributed to American Literature and made the scientific and literary world his debtor. He is a prominent sociologist of the University of Chicago and authority on Afrien, writes a splendid introduction for the author that in itself is a notable tribute to the Negro race. To appreciate what this book means to the Negro race and to our knowledge of the Negro in Africa one must study it carefully, master all of its novel and unique features and facts, never before brought to the attention of the reading world. A description of what this book contains is a useful guarantee that deals with social issues of the Negro race and is equally important to all those members of the white race who wish to know the truth and who appreciate the higher and finer phases of Negro art and culture. That the book is a revelation is disclosed by the numerous orders which are daily flooding in from all sections of the United States. Numerous orders have already come in from California, Tennessee, Missouri, Texas, Ohio, Kentucky, Arkansas, Virginia and Oklahoma. Besides subscriptions for the book, many persons have applied for the agency to assist in circulating this important volume among the reading white and black citizens of their respective communities. A gentleman from Illinois sent a draft for five copies, saying that he wanted one for the white Library of his city. Remember this, a very exquisite book, with illustrations of life and art, six pages of Negro written language in native script, with a map and splendid index. Such a book published, in London would sell for $4.80, or one pound sterling; but the desire of the author to get a copy in the hands of as many white and colored persons induced him to insist that the price be cut down to the modest sum of $2.16 by mail. Or the author exceeding 10 will be given a reduction of 25 cents on each volume. All orders above ten will be given a reduction of 50 cents. Terms to agents will be liberal and all information supplied upon application. All orders should be sent direct to the writer, George W. Ellis, Attorney at Law, 3000 South State street, Chicago, Illinois. RENT YOUR ROOMS. LAKE FOREST-ILL By Henrietta Holland Lake Forest, Ill., Nov. 13—Rev.

(Press Service, Department of Health.) ‘That a large share of the respowst bility for these 10,000 preventable deaths 18 due to badly ventilated pub: lig conveyances {s mado clear by thls one important. fact, namely: Lest tan % per cent of the 3,984 surface cars operated In Chicago and carrying many thousands of passengers dally are equipped with ventilating. devices that insure the occupants proper alt supply in cold weather. While the ventilation of theaters and, certain other public buildings. Is ex: tremely Important, it is not so impor tant a8 the maintenance of proper alt conditions in street ears, for the Tet son that the great majority of the citizens of Chicago must of necessity use these cars in traveling to and froin their homes, while the attendance at theaters Is a matter of ehoice. ‘There are 3,281 surface cars in op- eration in Chicago; 090 of these are s0 eauipped that, if properly operated, they will give satisfactory ait condi. tous to the passengers, OF these, 125 are the “nearside” cats, whieh were absolutely unsatisfactory when Intro: duced, but which asa result of press. uro-and sults by the health, depart ment, through the ventfating division, have been reequipped.

Frankfort, Ky. Nov. 13.—Former Governor J. ¢. W. Beckham was the unanimous ‘ehotco of the people for the senatorship. Former Goyernor Beckiam was defeated for this lofty position some years ago by traitors of his own party. With persistent effort a5 a young man to succeed in life nd to never stop to resort to any- thing that was below the great char. acteristic of the pure Anglo-Saxon tra- ition, “While governor of Kentucky he signed every bill that was ever passed by the general assembly. for the Kentuely Normal and Industrial Institute for the race. He was the first chicf executive that has ever spent the taxpayers’ money to protect & Negro’s life from an angry mob who wanted to lynch an Afro-Amer. fean for protecting his own home, and military trgops were sent to protect this Negro. Governor Beckham was censured by his own people. We can say of him that be never eares for criticism, so he is right. Mr. Beck: ham was fought by the interests of millions of dollars, but with all that hie succeeded In conquering thoso who opposed him because they could not put thelr “label” of wrong upon his high principle. While Governor, he appointed Mr. 1. D. Smith as a trustee to represent his people. Mr. Heekcham goes down Jn history as the frst man elected to the U. 8. senate from Ken- lucky directly by the voters. He would have gone six years ago had it Ween left to the people. Kentuckians should be proud of this young man, especlally the Christians, and’ those who stand out for the integrity and high principle that make up a’ clean government.

When tho vessel returned to Hast Cape, on its way south, the captain mado a pile of flour, sugar, hard bread, ealleo, tobacco, cartridges, needles and thread, ‘ten, matches—everything dear to the Eskimo heurt, It was thelr wages, and the Eskimo were proud of their wealth, ‘The walrus hide canoes came along- side and the four men were taken ashore with thelr riches. At the wa: ter's edgo every article was delivered to waiting hands, and when the men who had worked all summer for these necessities and luxurtes started for thelr igloos they carried all they kept for themselves in their hands.

They have been grouped together and thrust aside in one of the dark corners of the spacious church, This unchristian act on the part of the church officials is not altogether uncommon and should have been ex- pected. It is a Well-known fact of Tong duration that the white churches, especially those to which the aristoc: racy belong, will not tolerate the pres- ence of colored folk in their midst, and it seems ridiculous that colored people humiliate themselves by being told pointblank that they are not wanted. ‘This incident should serve as a fur. ther warning to colored people to at- tend their own churches, where they will receive a greater amount of ben- efits, instead of scorn and derision — New York News.

It has become a habit and they feel like they have lost something if they do not go at least once a week. Many take in both the first and last half of the week. The bill opened with the Plying Layettes, supposed to be a maracas that was far from being sensational and failed to elicit more than a few hands here and there. In this line there has been so much clever work done that one must be exceptionally good to be appreciated. Jines and Hill were far from up to the Grand standard, their work being a little coarse for a refined audience. "Footing the Bills," a little playlet of everyday life, was admirably presented by Kusel and Company, and brought forth round after round of applause. The audience and singing skit very neatly. The audience didn't get wise for some time, but when they did they made up for lost time. The bill closed with Blake's Comedy Circus. Dogs, donkeys, ponies and monkeys vied with each other for land. The show as n a w nale, the show was very good. TOM BROWN'S BIG ACT. Tom Brown and Billy Johnson are now collaborating and their genius will be seen hereafter at the new Grand Theater. These two noted comedians and composers will start a series of tabloids beginning Nov. 15. Their Company will be known as Tom Brown's Tom Boys and Billy Johnson's Easy Breezy Girls. The girls are pretty and funny. They have big voices and sing sweetly. Billy Johnson, the best stage director in the country, is the stage manager. They have with them Mattie Wilkes, who has been abroad for 12 years, as the leading lady with the 12 breezy girls. Order scans now.

ON AND OFF THE STROLL. By Columbus Bragg. "I thank you very much," the Stroffers, for the benefit. One of the 'stroll's most popular Elite manicure artists has returned from a visit and vacation through Canada. She receives information for the Defender for the scribe at 3126 State street, Brown and White barber shop. My business and also the shop's name is the Defender, that most beautiful artist with pretty, teasing brown skin, Miss Irene Shadd, simply a dimple face doll. The singers, Miss Sallie Lee Johnstone and Miss Carol Lillipson, has some charming personalities. They infuse into their fashionable audience with the apparent intention of allowing a glimmer of the musical effulgence which pervades the stroll, having accomplished their propagandist end in a two and hour of gyrations and evolutions. They amazed you with such sweet voices and beautiful smiles to which Miss Sallie has bunches to spare. She is worth while. Yes. She is worth it. Yes. She possessing dreams, sat as cute as any mouse, ready at all times to extend that courteous treatment and super decrumpt that gives the Elite Cafe patrons that at home classical treatment. You can resist these big brown enchanting eyes? No. Miss Trinkle Davis, the most dashing soubrette of today, puts on a new costume nightly. She accentuated this fact with a costume before which masculine descriptive powers stand aghast and speeckle. One of the creations which to be thoroughly appreciated must first be seen, and only entertains at the popular Richieh Cafe, Mr. Geo. C. Hall, of course, uses the ivory there. He is very clever. Madame M. Craig Halsey, the Queen of Ahjah, whose ten years' progress as an emotional ingenuine continues. She is an uncrewed queen of Ethiopia in the hands of her work. Miss Mary Ray, one of the most spirited strong voice singers, held her own with assistance of Mr. Chas. Gilliam, the king of trap drummers, at the Elmwood Cafe. At Louis Bros.' Cafe, the prince of tenors, in Jen. C. J. Liverpool. He has one of those sweet and mellow voices that one would never tire of, so dramatic in his tonations are perfect. Well, simply a Carusio in Cabaret. He is assisted by distinguished artists who should sing or teach singing in studio, not cabaret. A very artistic, poetic quality. Her cadences sound as pleasant as an organ; looks like one of those sweet June debunements. Madame D. Hicks. Some class to her. Mabel. Miss Hazel Moxley, the most beautiful star of Cabaret, should tour as an accompanist. Where do they find those pretty dreams? The woods and the Mist Ruth Belmont, the enchantress, has returned to the Chateau Gardens, the show place of the city, with that sweet voice and those big charming brown eyes, and a pretty round face like a baby, so pleasing. Some orchestra here. Mineral Springs Cafe has changed hands and for the better, as the present owner is a wee bit more popular as he has a charming personality. Mr Wm. Simmons retained all the same cabaret as he or no one else could im prove it. Miss Lucille Hegimin, the gorgeous beach, should be a studio mode of performance. Miss Ehlah Cole, the humble child, is some shouting girl, but the prince of entertainers is Mr. Wm. Abels, with the king of piano players at the box, Mr. Dan Parrish. Yes, Mabel, the scenery for the Ahlah is ready. If you cannot wait, daughter, come to the rehearsals and that will suffice you. What, you do like opera music. You will hear that classical opening close in that great piano. Oh, you will. Mr. Chas. Young, the great baritone, is at Russell Cafe, pleasing them nightly. Mr. Emerson at the box.

This was indeed a most unique affair, it being the first of its kind to be given here. A program well diversified had been arranged for the audience, including a recital by the author, reader, Mrs. Brown, interspersed with musical numbers by Mr. Chas. Young the famed baritone, and Mr. Schiller Emerson, the piano virtuoso, and at intervals pictures were thrown on the canvas of the late Aida Overton-Walker in various poses; also of Mrs. Brown and of notable happenings. After the conclusion of the program, Mrs. Brown parted, thanking Mrs. Brown for such an excellent afternoon of pleasure, and each asking when and where the next Sunday afternoon recital is to be TO CLUB EDITORS CLUB EDITORS.

THE JAZZ MUSICIAN Noted society violinist, who will make his professional bow as one of the star features with Dave Peyton's Grand Symphony Orchestra of 30 musicians at 3 o'clock, at the Grand Theater. A big program has been arranged for LATEST FASHIONS LATEST FASHIONS The Correct Mode in Milady's Dresses, Hats, etc. Advice from the Dressmaker for Women, Misses and Children. BY EVA L. SIMPSON The tight skirts are almost hidden by the long redigate. The basque, half a blower and half a coat, made of taffeta, some have elbow sleeves, is quite pretty. The sleeves though are getting longer, almost covering the knuckles. A coat dress, in the redingote costume is developed in mustard colored garbeline and black satin, the latter serving for the scant underskirt, hip drapery and stole-like end. The short skirt seems to prevail and the full skirt will grow fuller—it can grow longer, as shown. Concerning this same full skirt problem, I might mention here that if you have had your winter suit up with a comparatively narrow skirt, there is no reason to be unduly alarmed. We can't deny the fact that the skirts will grow full each month from now, but fashion slim progresses in leaps and bounds. Separate skirts are of woolen plains and cotton, colored, black, navy blue or green coats. Emerald green velvet with blurry black checks is being used for the new plaited skirts for sports wear. Fancy velvets will see exceptional favor and broadcloth more supply and soft than ever before is in the forefront of modish fabrics. Many of the one-piece dresses have united backs which fall freely away from without any suggestion of a waist line. A stunning tailored suit for the woman who likes her suit plain and yet wishes to have its severity broken, has plaits in a heated coat and in the skirt, giving individuality to the costume without suggesting too great elaboration. Short suit in malachite green suede cloth having an overskirt bordered with fox fur, the cuffs and collar being trimmed also with the fur. The frock coat is new and it is simplicity itself. Black long coats are in favor and will be found very serviceable. Evening Modes. Classical lines will prevail in all evening gowns. Black chantilly lace is used to trim white frocks. One of the dainty evening frocks lately exhibited a rouffed tulle skirt over which was worn a satin basque, with the front extended into long cords that crossed in the back and knotted in a sash in the front. These fine plaited garments made into fine plaiting to be used as the edge to skirts, tunics, ruffles, sleeves and sashes. These fine plaited ruches give a desirable finish to any frock. Some of the new evening gowns, despite the sleeveless vogue, have skirts with ruffled sleeves and puffed affairs of tulle or any light and gauze-like fabric. They are decidedly dainty. Beautiful afternoon frocks are made of taffeta, crepe or poplin, trimmed with Roman striped or plaid ribbon. Very pretty in the afternoon frock of velvet and satin. The sleeves are of taffeta tulle narrow and definiably long, having the bodice embroidered in gold threads. Capes of chantilly, ornamented with embroidery, are formed into loose sacks, dark blue, silver and deep red appearing in the stitchery. Sometimes the chantilly is mounted over a cape of black tulle for the young Miss. They are just little sacks with kimono sleeves, the long fronts turned under and caught into the belt; this makes a pretty little addition to a dress. If fullness and charm are synonymous, then a sapphire velvet evening coat is the epitome of all that feminine whim could desire. Blue fox lends beauty to the garment, though rather extreme lengths have been used to iniminate a formal V neck line, but it gives rather novel touch to the whole effect, which being made in one-piece style, is very simple to make. For the benefit of those who desire evening waistts preferable to the gown, a very pretty design was on exhibit. ```markdown ``` Evening Modes. the cessation. Two of Chicago's noted artists will appear, Miss Lucretia Knox, soprano; Mr. Willett Tyler, violist; Mr. Charles Young, bartonite Holmes; and the rest in the vest Tuesday, Nov. 17. Theater, Reserved seats, 25 cents. The waist for the evening must be large; great latitude is allowed in the sleeves. They may be of the angle form caught up on the shoulder, or a mere shoulder strap, or they may descend below the elbow. Large bows are placed at the back of the waist and at the side are formed by the curious drapery, of which there are many examples. The dresses seem to be cloven in front sufficient to show the feet, a little underskirt showing beneath. Many of the bodices are crossed in front, some draped on the shoulders, and for high evening gowns there is generally a basque, which is deep and tunic-like. Ideas for the Young Folk. The hats bats are frequently of the mushroom shape and are very soft, with velvet crown. The Mary Pickford bonnet is indeer charming on the little Miss. Very nice frocks can be made of crepon; it is a very lovely material for the little girl's dress. For the little one's dress up dress, such they usually call them, the little sheer sleeve very much like the elders of tulle, shirred and puffed is very dainty. Accessories. One of the novelties of the hour is the Gladstoneian collar. The high stock which the great politician wore and which now goes by his name, comes straight up to the chin and turns out to the back. He wows it self and stareted, but the women of today have them only sufficiently stiff to keep up at the neck. Sashes and belts are a great feature and nothing can be too bright to introduce in this way. The most gaudy ploids, the most vivid Bulgarian patterns, and the most daring combinations, be twisted around the waist (a big, natural waist always), and continued over the hips, with fashionable and smart effect. Wide silk braid is much used in the French models. Sometimes it forms pockets, sometimes it is used to band a long tunic, sometimes it is used as a scarf, sometimes of the faux ric of the frock it adorns. Needless to say, the braid is loose and placed low at the hips. Next week, advices on what to wear for young women who work in offices. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE TO SEE PRES. OF U. S.

LINCOLNS DIE HARD Blueitt and Winston Stars—Team Work a Factor with Visitors—Pollard Leads Lincoln to Victory Against Howard. By Frank A. Young. (Former Manager of the Lincolns.) The Dunbar Athletic Club, led by Napoleon Bluett, won the championship game against the Lincoln eleven at Thirty-third street and Wentworth avenue last Sunday before a large crowd by 6 to 10. That is all there is to it. "Nap" came over here and beat us South Siders, and went back home grinning. Don't blame him a bit, but he certainly had a tough time; and so did his team behind him; and the only thing I am sorry about is he belongs over north instead of among us. Bluett was far the individual star of the game. His kicks got away pretty and the ends of his team McGee and Brown, were down on the runner the minute he received the ball. Next to Bluett were Allen and Wilson of the Lincolns, the latter showing up for several times Bluett pouled through the Lincoln line with his whistle straight on if not for "Chuck" Wilson. Dixon went over for the lone touch-down. Some of the Lincolns claim that he was down and the younger Bluett failed to blow the whistle allowing Dixon to regain his feet and go over for the lone score. If such was the case we rally to the support of Virgil and will be true sports even in defeat and say we see it. Furthermore, that the Lincolns sill all the whistle did blow; that any other player would have done as Dixon son did. The fair sex was much in evidence and it would take this whole page to say all that I noted. The North Siders brought along their bunch of faithful rooters and ladies too. Some of the Jelly Twenty were with them. The game on the whole was good, and no one could complain of the brand they put up for the afternoon's entertainment. The Dumbars played hard and were determined to win, and they were well rewarded for their work. Wilson failed at the supreme moment. When twice near the gonel line he failed to call Allen, the best ground gainer, to carry the ball. Again Langston shoulders a little blame, for he should have called Lock's bad naked was hampering him. The Lincolns want another chance at the Dumbars and want to play the Sunday after Thanksgiving, but it is all up to the North Side team, as the preference is with the victors. To "Nap" Bluett belongs the credit, and his great individual playing brought victory and staved off defeat. Once the Lincolns were within two yards of scoring in the first quarter, and the game leader wilt along putting on the on the calling to do their best, and they did, for that is as far as the Lincolns got. To him victory and by him victory was deserved. Lincoln, 12; Howard, 0. Much to the surprise of the football fans the Howard University eleven went down to defeat before the Lincoln eleven. The latter team was considered such a poor chance to win that it was played earlier this year than last. Its place on Thanksgiving Day was given to Hampton. But they sent for Leslie M. Pollard, former star at North Division high school here on the North Side. Pollard won fame also at Dartmouth, and when he went to Linehout he took some of Dartmouth's players outplayed Howard and won. All of Pollard's friends are glad of his success. UNDERTAKER IN BUSINESS SINCE 1865 (Continued from page 1.) one of the most proficient men in the business. He made emulating a specialty. In this branch of the work he became an expert. The establishment became a school, and other young men anxious to learn the profession were properly taught the work and successfully passed the examining boards and started into business for themselves. Death of Emanuel Jackson. Two years ago death claimed Mr. Emanuel Jackson, and the responsibilities of the business fell upon the shoulders of his son, Mr. Daniel M. Jackson. Having spent the greater part of his life in the business, he was fully qualified to become his father's successor. Since assuming charge of the business Mr. Jackson has made many improvements. He has kept right up to the times in the modern world, and has made improvements made in this exacting profession he has been the first to adopt them. Public Is Pleaseed. The appreciation of the public for these improvements has been evidenced in greater demand for the services of the "House of Quality," and recently the business was reorganized and incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois. The corporate name is The Emanuel Jackson Understaking Company, Inc., with Mr Daniel M. Jackson as president. The other officers of the company are Abner A. Hodges, secretary; George T Kersey, treasurer; Ahmed A. Reyner superintendent.

C., Nov. 13—A new armory is badly needed by the First Separate Battalion of the District National Guard, now housed in the basement of the True Reformers' Hall. Other pressing needs are a first-class hotel for colored patrons uptown and an adequate hall for good-sized public meetings and athletic entertainments likely by a reception banquet or dance. Here are big chances for enterprising business men to make money by filling long-felt wants. Mr. Charles L.

Dr. Burke is pastor of the Immmanuel Baptist Church and is one of Washington's most polished orators and best posted theologians. The United States Supreme Court is to take a recess from the 18th to the 30th of November. It is the popular expectation that the nation's highest tribunal will soon hand down its decision on the cases from Oklahoma, testing the constitutionality of the "grandfather clause" of the suffrage law of that state. The result in this case will be far-reaching, will be far-reaching in that upon it hangs the status of the Negro as a general voter in all the states that have adopted the "grandfather clause" restricting the franchise. Frequent attention at the hands of the United States District Attorney—or some exciting cause—so confused the editor of the Washington Bee that last Saturday that eminent "Journal of civilization" same out with the date line bearing the legend, "December 7, 1914." The good people of the District must be leading Brer Chase a merry dash to be crowding him a whole month ahead of his normal speed.

Astonishing Simplification A famous college principal used to give out notices at the morning devotional exercises, which always closed with a prayer. One morning he forgot a certain notice until he had begun his last prayer. Praying for the professors and students of the college, the notice from the French professor came to mind, and the assembled students were astonished to hear the O'Connor Professor Karge whose French class will be held this morning at nine o'clock instead of at half-past nine, as usual." Personal ambition is a quite honorable motive. The desire for approval and praise is something which nobody should despise. But a man should not stake everything upon those; otherwise, when his works fail to obtain recognition he is disappointed. He should have in himself as his primary motive something which makes him confident of those things, something which prevents him all those little things which impede public work, and make it difficult for men to work with others—Sir Edward Grey. The subaltern was being put through an examination in geography, wherein he proved himself astonishingly ignorant. At last, after a failure on his part of unusual fragrance, the examiner scowled at him and thundered: "Idiot, you want to defend your country, and you don't know where it is!"

Widespread Eavesdropping Has Become a Common Thing—Are Also Being Used to Save Time In Commercial Houses. Wherever you go nowadays there's very likely to be a dictograph listening to every word you say and transmitting the sound of your voice to somebody whose ears perhaps you don't care at all about having your conversation reach. In New York city it is said 50 dictographs are purchased every week by someone haswives, but the number of those devices used for such doubtful domestic purposes is small compared with those which are being installed for commercial purposes in offices, stores and factories. The use of the dictograph to secure evidence in a number of sensational criminal cases has made the public quite familiar with the methods by which it makes widespread caves-dropping possible. The transmitter is a little disk so small that only a careful search will reveal it when put in a box or somewhere else on the wall. This transmitter is so sensitive that it will carry every sound uttered in a room for long distances. Carefully concealed wires connect it with the receiving end of the apparatus, which is often disguised 'as a paper weight or hidden away in a desk. The work of paying tellers in many large banks is greatly simplified by the use of the dictograph. When a depositor calls to withdraw a large amount the teller may not be sure to cover the withdrawal, but he does not like to offend by staling his doubts. Claim agents of many corporations find the dictograph of service in detecting fraudulent claims for damages. Each claimant his witnesses are made to wait for a few minutes in a very completely "dictographed" room. If the claim is fraudulent they are likely to take this opportunity to alter their stories and agree on the testimony they are going to give. But their every whisper is heard taken down by a stoneographer in an inner office, and the best laid plans are often thus exposed by the conspirators themselves. Brave Old Admiral Hawke. The British cruiser Hawke, blown up in the North Sea by a German submarine, was named after one of England's most daring admirals, Baron Edward Hawke. Not only was he a sturdy fighter, but without a superior as a seaman. His great achievement was the destruction of the French fleet of De Constans, near Quiberon, on November 21, 1755. Hawke sighted the enemy off the Morbihan. He action, decided clearing his deck, and decided to attack and to run for the Quiberon anchorage. As a storm was rising and the coast one of the most dangerous in the world, he assumed that the English admiral would not follow him, but Hawke pressed on sail and opened fire as darkness was falling. He had 21 ships to the enemy's 20. The engagement was won after dark, Hawke losing only two ships. The old admiral would turn in his grave If he knew that a vessel named after him had a blockade, for it was a kind of duty in the war. Peer in his work, keeping the sea in winter gales and never losing a ship.—New York Sun. Sweden and Norway One hundred years ago, following the brief war between the two countries comprising the Scandinavian peninsula, the Norwegian parliament voted to accept the supremacy of Sweden, and elected the king of Sweden for king of Norway. The Scandinavian union, as finally agreed on, made the person of the king and his management of the foreign affairs of the only common bond. Each country obtained its own constitution, parliament, and cabinet. This agreement continued a century nearly a hundred years, until 1905, when the desire of the Norwegian people for complete independence led to a peaceful dissolution of the union and the election of Prince Charles of Denmark to the Norwegian throne under the title of King Hankan VII.

Crime Not Racial, but Individual. The first point is that you placed your first story of the supposed Gatewood crime upon the first story of the police department with all of its harrowing and infantile details. The substantial retraction of this story, disclosed to be essentially false after investigation, is placed upon an inner page, with far less conspicuous headlines, and where perhaps many readers who saw the first story did not see the second one, and which from later developments more nearly harmonizes with the first story. The very insignificant point, but in view of the one to which I now solicit your most careful consideration the two together have much to do with interracial peace and concord and constitute important factors in those psychic forces which retard or advance our social progress and general welfare. I have in mind your use of the police force, the effect of which is to make the supposed crime of Gatewood racial rather than individual. While your use of this word is mild, it has the same effect, because in many other papers the word Negro is employed in the most violent forms so often to inflame the popular mind against all Negroes, stigmatizing them with the odium which attaches to crime, and under similar circumstances, that the mere use of the term now M. B. Hon. George W. Ellis. in headlines is sufficient to rekindle the popular prejudice already in fashion, and which is laying up future penalties to be paid in blood and tears by both the white and black races. So that your first article not only reenforced that sentiment which seeks to do injustice to all Negro people, but impairs the white people to unfit the white social mind to the problems growing out of the presence of the Negro in the light of the facts as they really are, and impairs the white people more and more to do justice to worthy Negro citizens. It is, therefore, very doubtful if the injury of the first story would have been remedied by the publication of the second one on the first page, on account of the distorted and abnormal conditions matters as the result of even more damaging methods and appeals for the manufacture of race prejudice. The papers as a rule do not emphasize the criminal acts of Phone Drexel 9120 term? Caucasian, Jews, German English, for the purpose of algm matzing the whole group to which the supposed criminal may belong. For crime is individual and not racial. And why continue to do so with members of the Negro group? Better Class Forced to Defend Selves. The continuation of this policy on the part of the American branch of the white race has in it dangers for American democracy and Christianity similar in kind to those actually experienced from the practice and prejudice of the institution of American slavery. Those who taught false doctrines about the Negro in order to profit from their mind and heart from those who now teach other false theories concerning the Negro people in order to fix upon them a permanent and inferior status in American citizenship and democracy. The average Negro and the upper classes are just as loyal to the principles of Christianity and democracy as are the similar classes of other groups of the American body politic. The white race make a great mistake when they insist upon creating those false and unnatural conditions which require law-abiding Negroes to shield or defend Negro criminals as a means of self-defense and self-protection against public hostility and social degradation. To my mind it is indispensable to the public good that Negro bodies should be treated in the press and in the court of other criminal or person charged with crime—individually and in accord with the facts of the case. It is vitally important that the better class of the Negro people should be free from the necessity of constantly defending themselves against unjust aggression in any of the forms so prevalent in the United States, that they must be given resources to the social unfit of themselves and to the constructive welfare of the respective communities in which they reside. Use Power for Peace. The terrible war in Europe is the natural outgrowth of nations which incorporated in their foreign policy the insidious doctrine that white nations have the right to exploit the darker and weaker peoples in the interest of the more powerful nations the latter. And it is one of the ironies of fate that in their extremity they are forced to call upon the darker races to assist in saving white European civilization against itself. Few who now live fully realize the inter-racial and inter-ethnic nature of worldwide destruction of wealth and men. I wish, therefore, to ask that you use your great paper in the interest of inter-racial peace, truth and justice, and that in the future no encouragement be given to the spread of erroneous doctrines in inter-racial relationships between nations to sentiments of inter-racial good understanding and good will. I have written you thus at length because I know your paper to be fearless in what it believes to be right, and because of the splendid services it has rendered to this state and the nation. I do not flatter myself to think that I can enlighten you upon this subject as a assurance of my position as a member of the Negro race I have written at length to give emphasis to this appeal in behalf of the great majority of Negroes who aspire to be their best and to cooperate with their white fellow citizens in every state to construct a civilization, democratic in form and Christian in principle, that shall do exact justice to all races and men and insure peace and prosperity to our common country with the highest considerations, I am sincerely yours.-George, W.

America furnishes the other, and indeed, the chief ingredients of the biscuit, for from our own country come the cheese, lard, eggs and butter, pecans, honey, fruits and jellies, and also the molasses and sugar; and miles and miles of yellow fields of grain yield the kernels of wheat. Father of Income Tax Britain's income tax, which the prime minister thinks should be revised, was first imposed in January, 1799, by the ingenious financier, Pitt. It was submitted to by an indignant nation, who got rid of the abolination in three years. But Napoleon could not be conquered without it, and it made spasmoid entrances and exits, until in 1824 it became a hardy annual. Ireland managed to struggle on without it until 1857. Daily Thought There are three relationships in human life—commercial, which depend on what you have; social, which depend on what you do; and real, which depend on what you are. Beauty is in the ideal. To live with a high ideal is a successful life. It is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that makes the soul strong and fit for a noble career.—E. P. Teenny. Those Who Claim to Read Character Profess to See Ability Even in Illegible Writing. A newspaper editor, a friend of mine, wrote such a blind hand that it was a byword throughout the office and a terror to the typewriter. One day a friend perfectly his writing and signature took the scratch, most of which was absolutely meanless, to the editor himself, asking if he would kindly tell what he intended to say. The editor was a trifle annoyed at first and started out with: "I don't see why you fellow can't read my writing; it's plain enough. Now, this—well, let me see, and he stuilt over the deceptive scrap of paper for a few moments, and I can't remember, now just what I did write." People who profess to read character by handwriting seem to find traits of unusual ability in samples of the most illegible writing, so it all wrote plainly there might be less individuality in the world. I am tempted to say what perhaps I ought not, as it appears to be a slur upon my own sex—that, in my opinion, the peculiar and illegible writing of men is decidedly more characteristic than the meaningless weak and poor writing of a great many women. Whether a judge of handwriting would agree with me do not know. Our opinion is something peculiarly our own. Others may write in much the same way, but never exactly the same. Since handwriting is so individual a thing, and to some extent an index to our characters, let us hope that those who are quick to see what it denotes may always find some agreeable qualities.—Dorothy Wayne, in the Philadelphia I edger. Definition of Love Love is an awakening, an inspiration, dulling the edge of resentment, sharpening the eloquence of wit, impoverishing distinction, guaranteeing equality and proclaiming the omnipotence of God—Willis George Emerson. 1 Confirmed.
