HERO WINS CAR- NEGIE MEDAL Went Into a Pit of Burning Slag and Rescued White Fellow Employee While Sixty White Men Stood in Awe—Former Member of the Twenty-fifth Wins Medal and $500. FOUGHT WAY TO SAFETY. Gary, Ind, May 5.—James Dunean, 1530 Adams street, one of the most respectable race men living in this city, has been awarded the Carnegie medal and $500 in the city. He was employed in the steel mills in Pittsburgh in the ago. The fact was made known the first of the week, when Dunean received a letter from the Carnegie commission notifying him of the act. Dunean was formerly a member of Company D, Twentieth Street, in Pittsburgh, in a session a number of letters from his superior officers for honorable service while in the regiment. He also has an honorable discharge. One of the letters was written by Capt. Charles Gates of Twentieth Street and the other by Major Z. W. Torrey. Duncan at the risk of his life and a horrible death descended into a pit of red-hot slag and, bridging it with a plank, he walked out on a narrow space and fell into the unfortunate fellow (white) below the unfortunate fellow (white) worker who was slowly roasting to death. He then fought his way heroically out of the hot, gas-ridden place and carried his burden to the air, where he held this time sixty white fellow workers stood as though they were transfixed by the horror. Not many men in a thousand would have voluntarily and quickly descended into a pit of soothing steel, the steel that he received a torrent of hot metal, to rescue a fellow worker. It brings this hero national attention, besides this badge of honor and money. The letter from the Carnegie Fund notifying Duncan is as follows: Pittsburgh, Pa., April 29, 1916.

Copyright 1916, by the Chicago Defender. From Mt. Pleasant, Tex. I went to a town called Pittsburgh, in the same State. Here the white people give the white man that they good wages and a good chance. They pay $1.10, $1.50 per day.

Norfolk, Va., May 5—Saturday night during the carnival here three white men began to bully a race man about 12 o'clock, shortly after the shows had been. He paid no attention at first, but one time he called him a "N____" with a nasty preface before it. The race man, seeing that he was outnumbered, as a crowd had been attracted to the scene by loud singing, a way out of the crowd that was about the homophone a suit Enright, Priest and McPherson are in the hospital, the first being the only one able to talk. He claimed he was only loshing when the police questioned him, when he argued and he is in a critical condition. The race man escaped and the police are at sea. GREEN RE-ELECTED minor cause he is heavily fined. Some white man will pay the fine and then this poor creature is forced to work for him on a farm as long as the white man with rifles. Now the men here are allowed to wear and carry clothes. Most of the Race women can do so, for they practically belong to the whites. If a gentleman of color happens to be seen on the street with a white man in a race uniform of color, especially if the gent is a worker, he is eligible for a severe beating by the whites and in some cases shot. Curfew for Race Men. After half-past eight the Race man is not allowed on the streets, except in Winnipeg, In Winnipeg, Tex., a Race man own a farm. He gets to care and raises cotton. He tried to get other Race man to go in partnership with him and build a cotton gin. The second man asked his white "boss," a white man own a farm. Little later the Race man came back and he did not think he would take the ship, as his "boss" didn't approve of it. I found that a great many had farms, nice ones at that, but only barely made a living out of them. They are comely and trade in certain stores and the white man chooses the chooses. At the end of the year the Race owes the storekeeper. They can't sell the farms, because the whites will only give $15 to $25 an acre. Next week I will tell you of a Race doctor who bought an auto, but the whites met him at the depot in Tyler, Tex., and told him to send it back if he hadn't bought a boutevard to run it on.

MISS BOSFIELD BACK TO WORK MISS BOSFIELD BACK TO WORK Dr. French Gives Her Employment at Governor McCall's Order—Same Job, Same Pay, But With All Privileges That Are Accorded Other Employes. VICTORY FOR FAIR PLAY. Girl Was Discharged Because She Had Nerve to Demand Her Rights—Supreme Court Decided Against Her—Trustees Were With Dr. French but Girl's Friends Take Case to Governor. THE LETTER "I write to offer to reintroduce you to your former position as clerk and stenographer at the Medfield Hospital. Your work will be the SAME as your former position, a room as good as the other clerks and stenographers. You will EAT IN THE DINING ROOM WITH THEM. Your pay will be the same as your former position, you will be given the SAME privileges as the others." —Dr. French's letter. Boston, Mass., May 5—Miss Jane R. Bosfield, who was recently discharged from the Medfield State Hospital, declared last night that she had received a letter from Dr. French (white) who had caused her dismissal offering to reinstate her. Miss Bosfield said that she would report for work at once. Miss Bosfield was discharged because she insisted that she should be served in the dining room with other employees and as she was the only face girl there the poor whites objected and Dr. French discharged Miss Bosfield in subordination. The trustees upheld the law and the Court held then sought legal aid and took the case to the courts. The Supreme Court decided against her. Then the fair name of the Bay State was dragged into the flood several newspapers, especially the New York Times, which sought to arouse the people because Miss Bosfield was not getting a square deal. The case was taken to the Governor who said he would hear the case with the executive council. At this heart, she would how she had been treated and that someone could go without food because it was cold and brought to her on a tray. The Governor seeing what pressure had been brought to bear ordered her reinsted even if Dr. French and the trustees did not like her positions would be at stake. Miss Bosfield believed there is a feeling of unfriendship toward her at the institution, but added "that is one of the things I shall have to bear and live down." Reinstated. Faced by the formidable "request" of the Governor and Council that Miss Bosfield, the colored stenographer, be reinstated in her old position at the Medfield to the trustees and the superintendent of the still prattting about the "right" to do as the superintendent did, have taken the very practical course of putting the girl back to work. This will there will be no knuckling to the nonsense of the rast of the employees as to cating in the same dining room with Miss Bosfield. And these employees may now be expected to have the good sense and courtesy to treat her well, and the girl will be well for them. The girl has proved that she has powerful friends.

It was one of the worst crimes that has happened recently on the Stock Yards and Simpson worked at the Stock Yards and the Champlain officer knife to murder the Champlain, and after using the knife, cleaned it and carried it back to the Stock Yards.

It is known that school boys and students in colleges are handling the Defender and are making a wholesale. In the living room of the race in this country. There are five churches here, men and women in business, hundreds of professional and businessmen, and many are earning a livelihood who would read the Defender because it is a paper of and for the race. One of the biggest churches in this country is last Sunday and urged every member of his congregation to take the Chicago Defender because it was "true as steel" in defense of the race.

A Committee of Parents Write in to the Dramatic Editor for The following letter reached my desks on Saturday, and it is with the greatest delight that you have received. I hope will delight the students and make many others who are placed in their position: Mr. Tony Langston. Dear Sir, We, the undersigned, have heard from you in reference to the advisability of allowing our children to attend moving pictures. We represent four different families, and have in the past from seven to fifteen years. We parents are all church members and are trying to raise our children as nearly right as possible, but at the same time, we hate the lack of attention we receive from innocent amusement or to deprive them of any pleasures that are dear to the hearts of children. We decided to send you a letter to your parents. Race's best authority along this line, and if you can spare space in your columns we hope you will publish your reply as soon as possible. We expect your interest to many parents. We read your scenarios every week and consider them wonderful, although none of us attend the event. We hope you will success in that you will grant regular Defender readers the above favor, we are. There are so many angles to the moving picture game that it hard to figure just where to begin a reply to the above letter. It is a well-known fact that there are a great many people who are prejudiced against theaters, and who try to limit its use at any line of amusement aside from a Dinklella or a Queen Esther cantata at their chosen church. While I do not wish to criticize them, I can help feel less prejudice if my duty to effort to awaken in them the fact that they are actually doing wrong in influencing others to pass up good pictures, who believes an injustice when they stay away from the sermons silently delivered on the screen. The influences of moving pictures upon the minds of children all depend upon the character of pictures. At no point in the form of entertainment gained a hold of the censor boards been so discriminating. Indeed, producing companies have spent millions of dollars in fighting cutouts ages ordered in films by time, with wrong or escape their in big productions or medias. The censors who used in Chicago show and fearless find THE GRAND. The return of Billy King & Co. to the Grand packed that popular house to the doors both baths on Monday night. The entire bill was a crackerjack. The St. Jullons, a pair of trapezoid artists and head-balmers, created a great album by Harriet Nolan, who use a piano, did the same, with new songs and dialogue. But the cup of enthusiasm was run over by Sam Nalmoa, a Hawaiian guitarist and voice teacher, who sang and after taking a half dozen legitimate hows, was forced to do two encore. BILLY KING. This made it plain that Billy King and his bunch had better be right to line after what had gone before. But Billy King had been much latched to the riot from the time that Billy poked his cork covered heen over the roof of the Pullman in seem one until the curtain was rung down on the floor. Billy was so far ahead of anything heard here in S. MBS. HATTIE McI. KING the past that no comparison can be drawn, and every member of the aggregation has plenty to do in single and ensemble. The orchestra is handled by the company's own director, W. Benton Overstreet, and he is more than capable. The opening chorus, Hello Everybody, is the first of the years. The Alabama Today and The New Dance, which was sung by the contra, Estellis Harris, are from the pen of this young director. Aside from the above mentioned, My Mother's Rosary, by Gertrude Sanders, told Me in Your Loving Arms, by the popular little soubrette, Teresta Burroughs, and, and, the Oriental song. Sixteen by Anna Holt all went great and were accorded heavy applause. The last named number was done in costume and with special settings. Greenberry Holmes, also young tenor of great promise, also scored with his song number, Maid of My Heart. The work of Hattle in the fash-King as the leading band of the work of Billy Walker ranks right along, which means much, and Howard and Georgia Kelley both take active parts throughout the offering, which travels under the name of "The Last Rehearsal." The entire bill will be changed every Monday and Thursday during the company stage here, this week three polite vaudeville acts. In addition to Tabloid being presented. THE MONOGRAM. Davis & Elmore, one of the best teams on the time, open the bill here, and put their stuff over in great shape. They are followed by Minstrel Morris, the best dancer in the great popularity of his visit. He is introduced, new work which is a distinct hit. Strain & Bailey, who are playing a return engagement by special request, have gained many new friends, and their work is a revelation. Business great. THE NEW MONOGRAM Henry Jines, late of the Richards & Pringles minstrels, opens the show here this week and is going great. His song, "The People," is one of the popular team of Burton & Vaughan are repeating their former successes here, and the sterling team of Montgomery and Melain are creating the same team that marked their former visits here. Among the Movies We started the new serial, The Mysteries of Myra, on Monday and drew well. We had, during the balance of the week, A Fool's Paradise for two days; Kurt vonnegut's The Art of Corruption and Vultures of Society. Manager Al Gaines has announced Sunday's feature, which he could book for one day only. It is Wm. E. Shaylin in the drama, The Buling Paslon. With it comes a two-week thriller and a great comedy. THE LINCOLN. Graft and Behind the Mask were run in conjunction with each other to good business on Monday, and followed during the course of the year we had a unique Co.'s release "hadbyed by the Devil, The Royal Pilots" "of Life, M. B. THE ATLAS THE FOUNTAIN. THE PICKFORD. THE NEW LINCOLN. NEW YORK NOTES. A REPLY --- How many theater patrons know that every film project carries its own individual lesson? The lesson is board in which a crime is committed that don't show before the end that the criminal or criminals are brought to justice. The lesson is order or other crime is committed, and it is a certainty that the perpetrator will be exposed in the end and the lesson is finished. The pictures are not only wholesome teachers of morality to the children, but no adult can help feeling the uplifting influence of the servile There is one class of picture that is released by special permit, called a "plink permit", which carries with it the clause "I am not a witness the running of the same. These features are generally of the problem play and sex play variety, and it is unlawful to play with a woman of five and twenty-one years to see them. The theater's license is not worth the paper it is in printed upon should the authorities permit any time an "adults only" play is being run it is safe to say that that house is under the close scrutiny of the inspectors. On these days unless one goes early you'll have to wait for a seat. The world's greatest theatrical stars are the greatest theatrical theaters for a price in the patron that is ridiculously low, and there, before your eyes, you are enabled to witness a demonstration of the abilities which have made them It would be a shame to take away the pleasures of the movies from children who are old enough to realize right from wrong, and day in and day out the moral lessons taught the children of figures of life. It can have nothing been good effect on the minds of the audience, old or young, and no more charming sight is imaginable than to watch the enthrailed, open-mouthed and wide-eyed younger watching with intense interest. It is not a simple challenge to the human good facing on a hand. Billie Richland or a Charley Chaplin shuffling across the screen to the loud yells of the "half fare" bunch in the front of the house. The fact that a boy or girl who is in a well-ventilated moving picture house was so young that the new-born to the accomplishment of experienced mother were more musicians is safer than if they were spending the same amount of time on a street corner framing deviltry or howling up and down a dark alley in language learned in the streets, must not be overlooked. When finishing I would like to impress the writers of the above letter strongly that I consider a good movie house not only the "right" place to send their children, but that it would be a good idea for them themselves to split their attendance be—picture house and their church, 50-80. So, there is an hour, would be better seen than heavy PERRIN & CROSBY A letter reached us on Monday from Sid Perrin, who has a company of twenty people, and who is this week in Willow Creek, Doe. The Opera House, Contestville, Pa., last week and created a big sensation. The newspaper reports were great and a great success, and the ducer, made an offer to Sid for eight weeks in Cuba for the entire company, Sid is considering the proposition. He is a singer and dancer, and comedy staff in the near future. Their opening is a ragtime singing and dance show, and is a distinct novelty. They Miss Lacy's Birthday Party by the entire company. One Contestville daily said, he became a chorus cannot be excelled and the company is going some years." That truly is going some. THE REAPERS THE REAPERS By Tony Langston. When "The Ropeers" the Fountain-like feature, is shown at the States Theater on Sunday, May 7, patrons of that pop-up theater are invited to one of the most genuinely instructive, and interesting motion pictures, as well as one which carries a great moral lesson and which bids fair to be one of the most popular films to be released this season. The story itself is one will find favor with the public generally on account of the sermon it delivers, the best acting and vivid pictureization of the story, by the careful and painstaking efficiency of its director. John Mason, the peerless American actor, is the featured star of the show, which is surrounded with a remarkable cast. When The Reapers was selected from a group of manuscripts as available Wasson material, the Equitable officials would be satisfied, in obvious opinion that he would be satisfied, in the play that called upon him to use all his great reserve force to give Jordan, the husband, the characterization which the part demanded. He had to be a publisher by an automobile. This he given over by an automobile. This he given over by an automobile that he became half parallely, forced by circumstances to sell papers and lead parcels from a wheel chair at a located railway stations. A non-commissioned officer and believer in the spiritualistic side of life, with his afflictions he became a vehement blasphemer and thorough unbeliever in God and man. A woman came to him and caught him the true light. He soon became a cheap haller, is now running a cheap cemetery of prayer. Through some divinely natural way he is healed and again becomes a well man. His wife, who left him in his hour of need to run off with a cheap haller, is now running a cheap cemetery of prayer. While on a vice crusade, Jordan and an assistant district attorney enter this place. While in the hall there is a quarrel between a man and a woman, and as Jordan becomes he comes face to face with his wife.

Tom paid the first week in advance, but after the twelfth week he owed the lady $11.00. As all rooming house keepers do, he had to be speaking to Tom when his bill had hit the house.

She glared at Tom, but with all the plans and a known to character actors, he's a good hit, his high with a cheery "good lippinin." "Good morning, Mr. Brown," she answered coldly, "I've been trying to see this to you. Winter is coming. I want to say this to you: Winter is coming. I want to say the landlord has tacked $5.40 a month on my rent. I've got to get coal, so I want to get coal.

Vivian Martin and Harry Hillard are co-stars in the wonderful Fox feature, *A Modern Thema*, which comes to the Valentine Theater on Sunday, May 6 and 7. They are without doubt the two most popular film actors in the Fox company, and in this great production they have full opportunity to play the roles of thrillers and carries a gripping story from start to finish. It tells of the infatuation of a rich and titled man for a poor woman, and shows situations follow each other in rapid succession. She disappears into a cave which is guarded by a dwarf. An old linger also takes a prominent part in the drama and plots, interspersed with desperate fights and situations follow each other in rapid succession. The nature of struggle on the brink of a high precept sends the blood surging through the auditor's veins, and the adventures of that one inch of film. It all ends in a startling manner, with Cupid, the doctor of all heart lies, acting as physician to the woman down under weight of woe brought about by the desperate means used by the Tied Briton to keep them separated.

While in the United States they can discover a vein in the copper wire it to California. For all this slavery, it was oppression the "poor" white" goes and now as the poorest white did in sixty-one. The poor white did not buy a hundred shaves at fifteen hundred dollars each, cash in the cotton grower of his life? Under the Mexican Constitution three syndicates can control the oil, chicle and hemp. But how came this Constitution changed? This is the secret to the trouble. When the president called for the cotton grower, came to Mexico, the first thing he did was to get into office and change the Constitution and amend it to suit his pockets. The cotton grower cannot be with the crime that people of people were kept ignorant of this secret crime. But God says that things done secret will be revealed on house-tops. When wealth length to reveal its value for protection and justice to the Government from unscrupulous persons on the grounds of Constitutional rights of protection. Then the political crimes secretly hatch under the administration of Dizzy Gillespie and justice to the Government even a few years ago. Then it was discovered that the Constitution was quietly changed and revised. This was the breeding of bandits. This trained and educated bandit was the Villa and a Zapata. They appealed to American justice, but hypocrisy was revealed in the Wilson-Carranza deal. Several promises of reforms were thrown into doubt. The police and press turned a dead ear to the boundary line dispute, which is considered questionable by many. In closer this article I will say that Villa's object in jumping to the issue is to claim the Mexican state that southern sympathizers have no reason the line properly according to the treaty of 1847. In fact the war of 1847 was latched up to steal Arizona and N.

As the war between the north and south amount of time in his first term. But the grand old man was shot in the second month of his next term. From then it has been forgotten issue. So Villa thought he would just remind them of it. And that the United States would be the first to be the living Belgium's boundary line and the guilty of worse things themselves. To set the facts of it a declaration of war would bring the invasion episode before completion. But President Wilson goes around that in another way. There is no war declared. What does the United States do? enters a house without a warrant. What does the United States care for a small nation's rights? Is right is right, the white man's motto. ALUMNI ENTERTAINED.

In doing this, the company is ready and willing to lay before the public all details of its business. The people of Chicago are cordially invited to ask, and the company agrees to answer, through advertisements now running in the big daily papers, any and all questions bearing upon the subject of gas. The only way to reduce the cost of manufacturing gas in Chicago is to adopt scientific "heat unit" gas in place of obsolete "candle power" gas. Scientific "heat unit" gas is rapidly replacing obsolete "candle power" gas almost everywhere. Up-to-Date Methods Needed In Chicago the Company is powerless to make the change for the better, from "candle power" to "heat unit" gas, without the consent of the authorities. The city council now has it under consideration. It will have to be decided, not on theory or prejudice, but on the facts. The company has the facts. It will state them accurately and fairly, and it invites the public to help examine and judge them. Write to the Gas Company Everybody is cordially urged by the Company to read its advertisements as they appear from day to day in the big daily papers, and to write to the Company their comments or questions on any statements made in the advertisements. Just address your letter or postcard to Department B, People's Gas Light, Coke Company, and watch for the answer in succeeding advertisements in big daily papers. Gory, Ind., 1975. Gory, Ind., 1980.

Ordinance Sent By the Chicago Defender Is Passed By Council Prohibiting Disgusting Film. Bisbee, Ariz., May 5.—Several weeks ago the "birth of the Nation" was billed at the at the office of the council here. The members of the Race did any time in making a fight to stop it. A telegram was sent to Editor R. S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender to send a message of ordinance that could be presented to the law council probably the play. Mr. Abbott wired an answer immediately, sending an ordinance to be presented to the council here. The following petition was sent to the council PETITION. To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the City of Biscoe. Gentlemen—We the undersigned, citizens of the Warren District, whose occupations and residences are respectively shown hereafter, do represent to your Honorable Body, as you advertised in the daily newspapers the production at the Orpheum Theater in this city, of a moving picture heretofore produced under the title *Birth of a Nation*; that we are reliably informed that the said drama is merely an elaboration of the drama heretofore produced under the title *Birth of a Nation*; that we are further informed that said photophy, or drama, depicts features and situations which are likely to arouse race and rejection against the Negro race, showing them at the time immediately after the Civil War when they had first emerged from slavery, and determined to race against the race at that time in an exaggerated way; that amongst the incidents which your petitioners are recounted in this book, which generally speaking are not proper subjects for photophys under any conditions, are: mob violence, briberies, hunging, burning at the house, therefore, consisting of rapes, or attempted rape; that your petitioners further represent that in their opinion they are not related to and will arouse many old hatreds, or prejudice, that might well in this enlightened age be forgotten, and that you can do no good and on the other hand, and branch of the peace. Wherefore, your petitioners pray that your Honorable Body take such action as may be required to prohibit the production of said photophy, or drama, in this city." The petition being sent the council, the ordinance sent by Editor R. S. Abbott was passed and became a law and took effect. Every member of the Race here aided in its passage. There was union and men and women fought like soldiers against the "Birth of the Nation." It was a battle where Race leaders bulldown their manhood and would not fight, saying as they always it had bad policy to fight. A great deal of credit must be given the race to also join the organization also J. R. Scott, recently from Los Angeles, Cal., and Eilgar Williams, secretary of the Bootbucks and Porters' Union. They went before the Traces Association and this organization endorsed their protest. When the white citizens saw that the Race was bitterly opposed to the "Birth of the Nation," they came out boldly against it. It was a great victory for the Race and should be an inspiration for them to make such a fight in other places where the picture may be attempted to be shown. At a meeting of the Race, a letter of thanks was sent to Editor R. S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender.

Flemming's WILBERFORCE WINS Wilberforce, O., May 5- Wilberforce met Anticho for the second time this month, before, they were considered of victory; but they soon found out that if they expected to win they would have to take the game. The game opened with Lane on the mound for Wilberforce and Little for Anticho. Both pitchers were in good shape, but he tightened up and was out without a score being made. His speed increased and the game propelled at his mercy. He was relieved by Coley at the end of the skid. Coley is the all-around player, and he was the team. He pitched two innings of good ball. An error by Gaines in the seventh inning was caught. Coley was relieved at the end of the eight to give Underweld a tryout, who finished the game. Wilberforce was the high and the ground was not in the best of condition, but the game was a good one. The features were the pitching of Lane and the pitching of Anticho. Wilberforce plays Muskegan Saturday, May 6. This is expected to be a hard-fought game.

Subject: Why We Are Surf DREW BREAKS WORLD'S RECORD Clips one-fifth of a Second Off His Own Record for Ninety Yards—Smart Set Meet a Brilliant Success — Beautifully Gowned Women Attend Affair. New York, May 5.—The Smart Set meet was a brilliant success. Fully five thousand people crowded the spacious Thirteenth regiment army, which the famous race club had rented for the first time. Sixteen hundred were满足的。No greater than hundred were held in this city, and it closed the indoor season. Incidentally, the feature of the meet was Howard Drew, who, despite his was performances brought the whole of the meet. He had opened nine yards in the remarkable time of flat. Hardly possible, one would say, yet it was. This same filer who, a weak or two ago, seemed to be slipping back, came through with colors lying. Roy Morse was still in the development of the meet. Diamond was the thinnest of the crack western sprinter was at the Pennsylvania Relay games. Many a heart nached to see this stepper once more, for he is well known in Brooklyn. He was a well known and well known star-stepping young-ster from Colby the last-stepping officer. He was a well known and well known star-stepping of the John B.

STORK VISITS THE WILLIAMSES. Statisticians—three in number, under the supervision of the Chicago Defender—have been kept busy the last ten days searching the records of happenings among Chicago's "smart set," and are pleased to announce to its readers that never before has there been so much whispering of surprise and delight within its confines as when the news was heralded on God Friday that the already famous Williams family of the celebrated Williams Colored Slipper was visited, and two storks, one bringing Daniel A. and the other Altha Marie Williams. Evidently each parent's wish was gratified. Mr. Williams, after some delay, was reached by wire and informed of his good fortune. He at once canceled his date for the following evening and it was only after much persuasion by the other members of the company (who were sang) that he was kept from buying eight round-trip tickets from Wheeling, W.V., to Chicago in order that they all might see the little duetists. So with reluctance he made the flying trip alone. Before returning to the company Papa Charles ordered two baby carriages, two gocarts, two high chairs, one twin bed, a Vietnam for Altha Marie and an auto for Daniel A. He kissed Mamma Clara good-bye and promised her another flat building on his return home. A. NOSIE.

Al CHICAGO FINISHES SECOND IN TWO RELAY EVENTS Dismond's Work a Great Factor; Wonderful Sprinting Ability of Ted Meridith Beats Stout; Butler Places in Dash After Showing Great Form in Trials; Motley of Atlantic City High Stars; Dewey Rodgers in Honor Role; Burwell Puts Pittsburgh in Front While His Brother Sets Syracuse Third in College Relays. --- Philadelphia, Pa., May 5.—Pennsylvania University inaugurated its twenty-second annual relay carnival last Friday afternoon and incidentally it brought to their feet thousands and thousands of spectators who had thronged the vast arena to witness the great American classie. No one star as there were many won the applause nor did any deserve it more than Binga Diamond, the great quarter-miller of the Chicago University and nephew of the famous banker, Jesse Binga. There was much doing Friday afternoon. The Philadelphia High school one mile relay race was the first sensation of the day. The mile high school relay record fell into the discard when Northeast Manual Training High school romped home ahead of Central and West Philadelphia High in 3:36, just two and three-fifths seconds better than the best previous time. Dewey Rodgers, the crack little Afro-American, running as pivot man, ran like a deer, and he was greeted with a round of applause as he modestly skipped for the show. Dismond's in Forty-eight. The next was the midley relay race, termed as the American College championship sprint meldley relay. First two races were four-forty and the last man a half, Pennsylvania captured the event, as Stout was unable to secure the tenured position. The last man, not a man on the field that could have stood the torile face that Dismond had to overcome, stretched the tall speed record stretched his long legs over the ground in a manner reminded some of the teammate John B. Leyton, quarter-miller. With each stride he put more distance between himself and the rest of the field and he gave Johnny Dismond a chance to lead at the start of the final half-mile. Dismond was clocked by the official caution him in forty-eight. that the final half became a struggle between Stout, Barr of Princeton and Ted Moriarty to sprint at the finish.

C., rated as one of the best white teams in the city. To start the ball rolling, McLean singled and Mott sacrificed, Briscoe rolled out, second to first, but Bill Howard hanged the sphere into the left field bleachers for a homer, sending the crowd into delirium. The Neptune came back and tied the score on a hit by Burke and errors by Hilton and Hollingsworth. After that both teams settled down and played even up until the fifth, when on Briscoe's double and two outs he crossed the plate, putting the Vandals in the lead. The Vandals copped a run in each inning after that and put the game on fee, Hollingsworth pitching alright ball. He eased up in the ninth and the Neptune scored two runs, but after the sixth the game was never in danger.

When folks really pause for a time to sum up the war from a standpoint of galing; When "wise ones" have nearly run over their cup of wine, they've counted the hearts that are breaking; When leaving out dollars, they've counted the cost, have counted the hearts that are breaking; They reach the conclusion the whole world had lost to the war. PROPERTY RESTRICTIONS: ENKE of the California superior court has ruled that the U.S. court, as entitled to hold property under the law in deeds, that the property involved shall not be enforceable. In certain sections of the country, the property involved shall be deemed objectionable people from which they may be claimed, and the property, by some such clause as had this California opency, in their deeds, is now a rule. Law were in force it would work as much hardship as. The owner of a piece of property should have fishes to sell, as well as he has to set the price at one from a black, yellow or red man than he can reasonable to suppose he would take it? And who can be a person who is not a person of the same kind, not very principles that this court may be supposed to stand, each day the door being closed tighter and lighter south is slowly but surely permeating the weakling border elty, is the first to openly come out and decli bendial districts. That the law has not been or unjurisdiction has been the general court, a temporary "enough to say that he hoped to make it permanent" has been the law, and consideration a similar appeal is required by the Jurisdiction, K.y. The supreme court's decision, in the course of the 18th century, brings to a g. the supreme court's decision. Individuals, need but to progress to have thrust a nation. The constant fight for supremacy makes it a question of whether the court should be held by the法院 of that spirit of fair play, jealousy bids them stricks. It is our turn to come up this trouble-riddle of a man we expect any special favors or privileges to be given, and with cable stones that seem to be humble position, or in other words follow the path—the servile, humble path—easy would be our journey to puddle their own canoe. Every obstacle summer asler. It is our fight, we must lead the way, if we do along to champion our cause we shall be grateful to stand alone. JUDGE SHEXK of the California superior court has ruled that citizens of that state, regardless of color, are entitled to hold property under the state constitution, and provisions in decors that the property involved must be sold to colored citizens are not required. The court also requires that the custom to shut out what was termed objectifiable people from living in the better neighborhoods by some such clause as had this California Title Guarantee and Trust Company, in their decors, would work as much hardship on one race as it did the other. The owner of a piece of property should have the right to say to whom he wishes to sell, as well as he has to set the price and the terms. If can get more from a black, yellow or brown person than he can from a white person, he should not be told to pay $12 to prohibit him? Every segregation law no matter of what kind, nor by whom upheld, is against the very principle that this country is supposed to stand for. The judge has not closed tighter and tighter against us, the spirit of the South is slowly being erased. The federal supreme court has under consideration a similar appeal made against a segregation ordinance passed by Louisville, Ky. Other southern cities have upon ordinance under consideration a movement hinges to a great extent upon the outcome of the supreme court's decisions. Iaces, like individuals, need but to progress to have thrust in their path all kinds of obstructions. The constant fight for supremacy makes beats of men, it deprives them of that spirit of fair play, jealousy bids them stoop to do many things, and it makes them feel like they are not receive nor must we expect any special favors or privileges. The road to success is more often paved with cobble stones than asphalt. Were we content to remain in a humble position, or in other words follow the path that offered the hard resistance—the service, humble path—could be our journey, but, there were times when we had to be more humble. Men and women paddle their own canoe. Every obstacle surmounted makes the next one the easier. It is our fight, we must lead the way, if we gather outside for the first time to champion our cause we shall be grateful, if not we continue undaunted along. STRIKING HOME ALLY THE WIND blows the other way and when a baby day into a bleak, cold day, for which we may must come to when the sun shines that it will seem seen, read of and participated in mobs gather colored people, without raising their voice in protest to these murders as "the great American pastime" norm fact that a habit once formed is hard to break, but it only intended for the darker citizens to spread the white brother as well. It is a common occurrence one takes the law in their own hands and deal their for aught they know might be innocent.

Just as likely to smash a great invention like a cement of labor as it is to smelt the life out of some of the earth's crust, so it is to bow out of committed either legally or morally, can mob violence only hold up a paunce for unlawful conduct? the better element of American citizens are facing their indifference in the past but determined incessantly has such a firm grip on our OCCASIONALLY THE WIND blows the other way and when it does perhaps it transforms a balmy day into a bleak, cold day, for which we may or may not be prepared. We are wont to feel when the sun shims that it will always be fair, but only make the most unله of the fair ones. For years the whole people have seen, read of the particulars of the time to do violence, to one or more colored people, without raising their voice in protest. In fact, TORF sign papers refer to these murders as "the great American pastime." It is a stubborn fact that a habit once formed is hard to break, the criminal can't be secondhand. It has less hangs of resilience than the first one. The mob spirit is not only intended for the�ark either, especially to the last developed the white brother as well. It is a common occurrence now to have indignant citizens take the law in their own hands and deal their kind of justice to the victim, who for aught they know might be innocent. It is simply a concrete case for the man who has been a man. No wonder the laws and pupils are getting harmed and using every means at their commnd to crush this unlawful spirit. It is striking home, the shoe is on the other foot. It is a serious matter, not one to be brushed aside as heretofore, with the thought that it didn't concern them. They find that it does concern them and they are not to be so much as they do. When a human passions are roused license is always apt to come to the top. The declining age of the man is the undermined of all unknown quantities, and if it is bowed to for a moment there is no limit to which its violence may not spread. A mob is just as likely to smash a great invention like a cotton gin for fear of the mop of the man. If the mass of the mass is too large, life out of some mob is not innocent person. If a action is justified today there is no length to which it may not come from. If a wrong is committed either legally or morally, can nob violence as an antidote to this be seriously held up as a pamace for unlawful conduct? It is gratifyingly to note that the better element of American citizens are facing the subject quay, quay, simpiling the same way as the problem of the clumsy crush out this spirit of lawlessness that seemingly has such a fire in our future. TRANSPORTATION TO LIBERIA. disposed of WOMAN taking into full account the cost of the property, and lighted a little over $60,000, the income from which a little over $60,000 was received, and the transportation to Liberia of a color-colored piece of color-colored children in Liberia. In the same month, a petition in the circuit of colored children in Liberia, slightly until about eight months ago, when the personal funds-filed a petition in the circuit, came to an end, and the fund was created again, and the trust was uncertain, vague, indefinite and not use no colored people wanted to go to Liberia. In the trust, and justly so, in their demurrer, little late in bringing the matter up and if the money was taken it would be turned over to the public colored people have taken advantage of the offer and are in that country. There is no question but that the ways used for the advancement of the race and because Liberia is no reason why the money should be paid. It was intended even though the trust failed. In the same month, a petition of the heirs to have the case tried in an election. It does not take a pessimist to discover that the to take everything possible from the colored man, 600 isn't a large sum of money, but the sting lies in it. Better from their point of view, were it thrown to the justice of the estate are preparing to give the heirs a A KINDLY DISPOSED WOMAN taking "into full account what it meant to have a dark skin in this free and enlightened country, left at her death in 1886 a trust amounting to $50,000 the income from which a little over $3,700 a year, was to go to that country. Any balance that might result from the income was to be used for the education of colored children in Liberia. An all went smoothly until about eight months ago, when the heirs—possibly running the estate—wrote down the credit they could claim contended that the transportation of colored people to Africa through the Colonization Society had come to an end, and the fund was created against the law of peremptory, that the trust was uncertain, vague, indiscrete and incapable of performance. The executors of the trust, and just so, in their demurrier claimed that the heirs were a little late in bringing the matter up and if the money was not used for transportation it would be turned over to the public colored schools of Liberia. The trustees of the trust were not the families in that country. There is no question but that the money was intended to be always used for the advancement of the race and because fewer people wish to go to Liberia is no reason why the money should be diverted from the state. It was intended even though the trust failed to cover every technical point. The case came up before a Baltimore judge, therefore it is not surprising to rule that the petition of the heirs to have the case tried in an effort to break the law was not made. The case was determined to take everything possible from the colored man, with or without the law, $30,000 isn't a large sum of money, but the sting lies in the purpose for which it is used. Better from their point of view, were it thrown in a bottomless hole and determined to give the heirs a hard fight, and for the sake of justice it is bound they will GOOD SOLDIERS.

For at we are far too wise to bump our heads against told we are "especially fitted" for the work. When gun for the preservation of our country we will be the white man's rights but to protect our own. DRIFTING BACK to younger days one readily recalls how they invigorated some playmate to assist in some arduous task in some such way as, “Bet you can’t carry in as much kindling wood as I can.” As grown-ups we look upon the writers in the daily press who dope out a lot of jolly about our especial fitness for soldier life in about the same way. We are told that we have a sunny disposition, that we are not a little more than a little better than we are. We are not a little better than we used to hardships, etc. They want something and if a little salve will get it they don’t mind spending it on as thick as possible. Looking out for number one is their chief aim in life. It is like hiring a substitute to fight your battles, only a substitute usually gets something more tangible than battery as pay. The ward-up is a little more than the getting men to enlist, few of the regiments are in the way. We are going to do this, and we are going to do it too lightly strength and the way we are. Americans are not long on the fighting kind of patriotism, shouldering a gun, tramping through an unknown country and exposing themselves to the enemies’ bullets, but when it comes to orating in times of peace on such gala occasions as Fourth of July, or Decoration Day, they swell up to full hogshead size and tell the people as they munch on peanuts and fresh buttered popcorn, “As for me, the war is over, and the war is over. We are going to do it too slowly, and to do it too tribute,” and a lot of other bookish stuff that soaked in during their school days. We are aware of the fact that we make good soldiers, make good in whatever capacity we are placed, so there is nothing new or startling in these outbursts, especially in this time when our country is on the verge of war. Flattery is all right in its place, but we are fit too wise to bump our heads against a brick wall because we are not in the way we are. We are going to do it too slowly, and to do it too tribute, as should a gun for the preservation of our country. When the time comes to shoulder the white man’s rights but to protect our own, we will be found on the job, not to protect the white man’s rights but to protect our own. FIRST IN EVERYTHING AMERICA SE three is little comfort to be greained by the fact the first to lose his life is the one Cavalry. Or the first man killed in the outburst of Army War, Crispus Attuck, who was stained by the assassine of March 5, 1770, was a member of our own those lives have brought something to us, a some of his country. It was not it largely through his all War and thus preserved the Union in 1851-69. It is charge of the colored troops at San Juan hill and throughout the entire history of this nation he at least from an upbuilding standpoint? It might it imply. Why aid a people who continually oppress them and are we so afraid that THIS IS OUR JUNKY DOG, he is fighting for self-preference the same off the map he is so much tui siner. As a man tui white race to make us feel better, we are in even though it be in danger of knocked off by the so-called 'superior' race, respect will follow. OF COURSE there is little comfort to be gleaned by the fact that one of our number was the first to lose his life in the Mexican skirmish, George A. Hudnell, B Troop, 10th Cavalry. Or the first man killed in the outbreak that brought on the Revolutionary War, Crispus Attuck, who was slain by the British troops in the Boston massacre of March 5, 1770, was a member of our race. And yet the sacrifices of those lives have brought something to us, a something far better than simple praise, it has taught the world that the black man has never faltered in his defense of his country. Was it not largely through his old that the North won the Civil War and thus preserved the Union in 1861-65? Is not the charge of the colored troops at San Juan hill in the Spanish-American War numbered among the few memorable engagements of that brief struggle? And throughout the entire history of this nation has he not figured prominently—at least from an unbuilding standpoint? It might be asked why this unfaltering military victory was not the result of the un放肆ness of the West? First of all, all the fighting our own battles, only in sedentally are we aiding the whites. It must be borne in mind that THIS IS OUR ♦ UNTRY, no matter what the white man says or does, he is fighting for self-prevention the same as we are.

If we produce merely the self-sicking, case loving, duty shirking man, whether he be a more materialist or a more silly sentimentalist; if we produce only the Americanism of the grater and not the safety first, get rich quick, peace at any price man, we will have produced an American fatally bound to the spirit of the tories of 1776 and the copperheads of 1861 and fit only to vanish from the earth. "In this tremendous crisis of the world, if we think we can sit apart, do nothing over latitudes and devote ourselves only to money making, we shall surely get rich." There are a great many people who talk but say nothing, but when the Colonel opens his mouth the world listens for them know he has the wisdom of a Solon. THAT MORMONISM is far from being on the wane is evidence of the financial statement presented to the general for the last fourteen years the church expended among other sums, $3,714,454 for church schools, $2,625,328 for operating and maintaining missions in the United States and Europe, $2,007,733 for meeting and amusement halls, $2,579,900 FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE POOR, and $1,955,900 for caring towards the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City. Verily the tithes of the church cannot not shine to the head of the president nor any of his associates. GERMANY MAY ASK FOR PEACE is the headline seen at various times in newspapers since the war began, and still the fire redeem on as morally as ever. First the Germans gain at Verdun, then the French redeem on a few hundred yards. Thus the anxious public is kept in suspense. If we could only spare "Teddy" for a little while he could run over and settle things with his big stick in one shake of a cat's tail. AT LAST WE KNOW the reason to be for all discoveries, inventions, etc.—"spirits." If you don't believe it, ask any well regulated spiritualist and they tell you—for a consideration—that Abraham Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation. That Marconi, who discovered wireless telegraphy, got the same dope, and the fellow who put gas in gasoline the same. So, what are you going to do about it? PITTSBURGH, PA., is taking up the fight for policewomen. Although the council called for appointments and made appropriations for them, the mayor refused to make the appointments. Fortunately mayors are not appointed for life, and there is such a thing as Mayor Armstrong being retired to private life in the near future. In the meantime the citizens of the "smoky city" should keep on the job every minute. OF INTEREST TO BANANA EATERS. No other plant gives such a quantity of food to the acre as the banana, which is forty times more than that of the potato and 133 times more than that of wheat. Now, if we could just have a few plants growing in the kitchen or some other convenient place, while food stuffs are so high, we could smile at the high cost of living.
