FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society FIRST BID FOR EXPOSITION. R. A. Elliott Says Baltimore Could Handle Semicentennial In 1913. By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. That Baltimore is the place where the proposed exposition to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation in 1913 is to be held is the opinion held by many Baltimoreans. Prominent business and professional men of the city say that Baltimore's proximity to Washington and Philadelphia, as well as the fact that the city could amply take care of a project of this kind, entitles the city to the proposed big show of Negro industry, thrift and progress. Mr. Robert A. Elliott, one of Baltimore's most successful business men, said the other day: "Baltimore has many advantages which entitle it to the semicentennial celebration of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. The fifty years since Abraham Lincoln struck the deathblow to slavery have meant much to the Negro race in the United States. Out of the remarkable strides from nothing to something we are developing race pride and self reliance. In the grand march toward success Baltimore's colored people have not lagged behind. We have probably the best housed colored people in any city in this country, and we have good schools, plenty of churches and many successful business and professional men. Our public spirited citizens and business men are in favor of the proposed exposition being held here for many reasons. The fact that this city is only forty miles from Washington and less than 100 miles from Philadelphia would give many of our southern friends a chance to visit those cities. This city is rich in historic associa- dous, and the liberal spirit manifested here makes Baltimore the most desirable city for such an ambitious project. Let our friends not overlook the many claims of this city of 90,000 progressive colored people. Mr. Elliott is one of the most successful funeral directors, white or colored, in Baltimore. During the fifteen years he has been in business he has made such rapid progress that he has probably the largest undertaking business among colored people in the city. CONGRESS EMPOWERS TAFT. To Appoint Seven Commissioners For 1913 National Negro Exposition. To carry out the president's recommendation and at the request and suggestion of leading officers of the National Negro Business league and other interested bodies Congressman E. L. Taylor, Jr., of Ohio, member of the house committee on appropriations, and Congressman William A. Rodenberg, chairman of the house committee on industrial arts and expositions, have together offered the following joint resolution, which was introduced in congress recently: "Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled. That the president of the United States be and he is hereby authorized to appoint a commission consisting of seven persons to consider carefully whether or not it is advisable to hold an exposition in the United States in the year 1913 to commemorate the dftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation granting freedom to the Negroes and that the said commission report to congress on the first Monday in December, 1910. "Sec. 2. That to enable said commission to carry out the purposes of this act the sum of $5,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby authorized to be expended. The members of said commission shall serve without compensation, but shall be paid their necessary expenses, and disbursements made under this act shall be made by the secretary of the treasury on vouchers approved by the chairman or said commission. Let Branch of Y. M. C. A. Be Organized. We very much commend the movement which is about to take definite shape by our people in Cleveland, O., looking toward the establishment of a branch of the Young Men's Christian association for the young men of the city. Such an organization would not only bring about a closer social and Christian relation between the young men, but would also give them a chance for business and intellectual development on an economical scale. By all means let the branch be organized. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

D., will Preach at Campbell Chapel, Sunday at 11 A. M. MORE THAN $2,000. Sunday will be a day long remembered in Shorter church. That was the time set for the grand rally that has been engrossing the church's energies for the last two months. In the morning the speaker was Bishop Abraham Grant, who came to the city to be with Shorter in its effort, who delivered one of his characteristic good sermons. Time deals gently with the old warrior of the Cross, and like Chrysostom, with years has come a great power to speak comfort and advice. In the afternoon was roll call, at which time the names of the entire membership were called. Nearly all of the members responded in full or in part to what they gave for the rally, those doing nothing being conspicuous by their small number. The sum raised during the day was announced as 11,906, but on Monday, when the money was counted, it was found to be 12,077. Many members FIVE CENTS A COPY D., will Preach at Campbell M. of the church were unable to pay what they desired on Sunday and are paying now, and will be for a few days to come. So, Rev. Ward and his officers feel that the sum asked for, $2,500, will be reached. This rally was held to raise money for the building of a new parsonage, the present one being on the rear of the church lot. It is proposed to build a new one on ground to be purchased, with a view of making provision for the enlargement of the church when the growth of the congregation demands it on the lots it now occupies in part. Such enlargement is not contemplated at present, but will be inevitable with passing years, and the present pastor and officers are foreseeing it and planning accordingly. This rally was the largest ever held in Shorter and is the biggest ever held in the whole Fifth Episcopal District by any church of the denomination. No wonder the pastor and people feel good. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Fresh Air federation to Be Formed. A meeting for the purpose of forming a federation of the various organizations or agencies engaged in fresh air or convalescent work has been called by William N. Hubbell, chairman of the Afro-American fresh air committee, for Monday, Jan. 10, at the Assembly hall of the United Charities building, 105 East Twenty-second street, New York. Will Stay Where God Has Put Them. Major Moton, commandant of the Hampton cadets, Hampton, Va., said in a recent speech in Brooklyn while on his northern tour: "You have all heard of the mental and industrial progress of the black man, but I can say a word for his physical progress. He has kept pace with the white man in that respect and is liable to stay with him. I feel sorry for the white man who has to assume this vexing problem of the Negro, but you give the black man a chance and your burden will be less heavy. Because God has brought us from Africa and put us side by side with the greatest white people on earth we are going to stay here." PROF. WILL TAYLOR, SPECIALIST ON Hard corns. Soft corns.

STANDARD OPTICAL CO. 208 15th STREET 20 Years in Denver Bet. Court & Cleveland Place Sundays and Evenings by Appointment Poems of First Negro Author. Published In Book Form by R. R. Wright. Jr., at Philadelphia - They Show Marked Intelligence of the Writer For That Early Period In Negro Scholarship. Perhaps the most notable book published during the year in which Afro-Americans are chiefly concerned is the poems of Phillis Wheatley. There are few Afro-Americans of intelligence who are not familiar with the name of the famous Afro-American poetess Phillis Wheatley, who evoked the profoundest and sincerest admiration of two continents in the early days of the American republic. Phillis was born in Africa and was brought to Boston about 1761, where she was sold as a slave to a Mrs. John Wheatley. Although only eight or nine years of age, she was very apt to learn and soon had a speaking knowledge of the English language, to which she was originally an entire stranger. For her own amusement she began to write, and soon classical Boston was attracted by her productions. She, though a slave, had the association of the best people of New England, and even George Washington and Thomas Jefferson complimented her in true southern style. But, while Phillis Wheatley is known by name to thousands of Americans today and notwithstanding the fact that she was one of the founders of American literature, she is to most people, even of her own race, only a name. Thousands of the best educated persons have never seen or read her poems because they have been generations out of print. The first volume was published in 1773, another in 1786, another in 1793, another in 1801, and so on until 1832. Her books are such rarities as to be hidden behind lock and key in the great libraries of the English speaking race, such as the British museum, Boston Public Library. Harvard university library and the Congressional library at Washington. The bringing out of this book is quite a contribution to race history and race literature, and it should be an inspiration to the youth of the race, who unfortunately learn but little either of the history or literature of the race in the public schools. Credit for the resurrection of these poems is due to Professor R. R. Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia, the suc cessful young editor of the Christian Recorder, who is following in the footsteps of his illustrious father, Major R. R. Wright of Georgia. The book is itself a gem. It contains about a hundred pages, with green and gold binding, and is printed on fine laid paper with a beautiful half tone cut of Miss Wheatley. It was printed by the A. M. E. Book Concern, which is the oldest printing establishment of the race in the United States. The book contains thirty-nine poems on various subjects, chiefly moral and religious. They show a mind highly religious and well trained in the classic, sincere, simple, yet quick and precise.

Mr. Thompson made a lucky strike at Blodgetts Tanks, in Riverside county, Cal. He went to southern California as a Santa Fe Pullman porter. Contracting the gold fever, he struck out six weeks ago and with the luck of a tenderfoot stumbled across a rich gold bearing ledge at Blodgetts Tanks.

Miss Eva Beatricia Jones, of Denver, Colo., of the piano forte department, gave her spring recital on Thursday evening, May 12th, in the Auditorium of the Trades Hall on the campus of Western University. Miss Jones in her usual pleasing manner rendered her selections with the greatest of ease and grace, the most difficult strains of the old masters being performed with artistic execution. She is a very consistent student, and destined some day to rank among the foremost of the race in the world of music. She was assisted by some of the best talent in Kansas City, Mo., in the person of Miss Edmonia Hubbel, soprano soloist; Mr. Frederick Fairfax, reader, and Mr. Gerald Tyler, baritone, director of the music department of the Lincoln High School. The stage of the Auditorium was elegantly arranged, the pink electrical effect giving a very pretty hue to the settings. She received a large number of flowers from her many friends and admirers. The Auditorium was crowded to its utmost capacity, the affair bringing forth a large number of Kansas City society folks, who pronounced the recital a "grand affair."

Editor Murphy of the Afro-American Ledger, commenting upon the attitude of the two great political parties toward Afro-Americans, strikes the current of racial thought and opinion in a large measure when he says: "Some day the Afro-American will awake to the fact that his vote counted means something and that he is a factor in securing something for somebody and, as office seems to be the acme of all parties, that it would be well for the Afro-American to take a look around before casting his ballot. If he is not to be the gainer by belonging to this or that party, then probably it would be better to belong to neither and take his chances by voting for the best man regardless of party. A little thinking along about these narrows will probably result in doing some good." The Race Taking Care of Itself. In a speech delivered at a meeting held in the interest of the Robert Gould Thaw House, a social settlement work for Afro-Americans at Boston, recently, Dr. Booker T. Washington made the following statement, which is significant of the thrift, self reliance and energy of our people: "Our race in the south has thus far taken care of itself, for, while the government pays out $10,000,000 to help feed, clothe and shelter the Indians, it does not pay a dollar to feed, clothe and shelter the Negro, except in the case of some special calamity." Protective League Aids Church.

Cash, with a carriage and was driven to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Noah Oneal, 1425 East Sixteenth avenue, which was his stopping place while in our midst. On Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, he met the Rose Bud children, 200 in number. They gave him a hearty welcome. Too much praise cannot be given to the senior and junior mothers and co-workers for their excellent training of the children for this occasion. On Sunday evening, March 27 (Easter Sunday), he preached to a large audience at Campbell A. M. E. church. The sermon was so inspiring that one would imagine that they could see the Savior ascending. Monday, the 28th, found him with Colorado Enterprise Fountain, No. 1621, which was the first to be organized in Denver. He was royally received by this fountain, which numbers 75 members. Tuesday, March 29th, he held a training school which was largely attended. Many wholesome and valuable instructions pertaining to the organization were received. Many important questions were asked which were answered satisfactorily. Wednesday, March 30, he met the Union Rose Bud Board of Managers. Words cannot express how welcomed he was by this body of ladies. Thursday, March 31, found him present to witness the fourth anniversary of the I Will Fountain No. 2548, at Zion Baptist church After listening to a very well rendered program he was then introduced to a large body of members and friends which he congratulated upon the occasion. At the close of his remarks he was presented with a handsome traveling bag by Colorado Enterprise Fountain; also Chief and Mrs. A. C. Cash were presented with a sterling silver berry ladle by Denver Division, after which refreshments were served. Too much praise cannot be given to Mrs. Prince Fife, Messenger of the I Will Fountain, No. 2548. Friday, April 1, he had the pleasure of meeting the Union Rose Bud Board of Fountain No. 2922. This is the only one of its kind organized, being composed only of ladies, of which Mrs. S. E. Cash is Messenger. Sunday, April 3, he preached an elegant sermon at Zion Baptist church. This sermon was for the benefit of foreign missions. The True Reformers were represented in a 1.41N.,abovelay,finchurchpr m m mn large body. A collection was lifted for said missions and was turned over to the pastor, Rev. D. E. Overs, by Chief A. C. Cash, to be forwarded to the credit of the True Reformers. Monday evening, April 4, a public meeting was held at Campbell church, which was very well attended. After his lecture many expressed themselves as being willing and ready tto journey with us. Tuesday, April 5, a reception was given under the auspices of the Union Rose Bud Board of Managers, Mrs. J. H. Sample deserves much credit as chairman of the committee for such excellent service rendered. This reception proved to be one of the grandest in Denver, which will be long remembered by those present. Wednesday, April 6, he preached at Central Baptist church to an anxiously waiting audience. His sermon was so inspiring that he had a refusal of a call. This speaks well for the divine. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. A collection was lifted and presented for his service.

Success of Miss M. D. Williams an Teacher and Musician. By GEORGE F. KING. Miss Maude D. Williams of Newberry, S. C., is one of the leading Afro-American women teachers of South Carolina. She is also an accomplished pianist. Her success as a teacher is attributed to her ability to study the characteristics of her students and her methods of reaching the latent powers of their minds. Specializing at Columbia university, New York, and graduating from Benedict college, which is one Mary MISS MAUDE D. WILLIAMS. of the leading Baptist institutions for higher learning in South Carolina, have drawn out of this young woman a peculiar power that has brought her recognition in the educational circles of the state and made her popular with all classes of citizens. She is an ardent lover of the works of the old music masters and is the life of the musical circles of Newberry. Miss Williams has a commercial training that has been of intrinsic value to her in assisting her busy father in his many large business movements. She is particularly interested in the young women of her community and is in a concrete way trying to make them see the opportunity which they have to become intelligent and useful women. In the religious circles of her town Miss Williams is a potent factor in making the church attractive to the young people who are often a problem when it comes to making them consistent workers in religious organizations.

Reception For the Rev. Dr. H. Powell. The members and congregation of the Bethany Baptist church, Brooklyn, will tender their pastor, the Rev. Dr. Holland Howell, D. D., a magnificent reception on Monday evening. May 16 The reception is in honor of the second anniversary of Dr. Powell's labors as pastor of the church.

Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist church of New York. Song Recital In Aid of the Y. W. C. A. A song narrative of "The Sky Pilot and Guardian Angel" from Ralph Connor's story of "Black Rock" was recently given by Miss Charrille Runals at Memorial hall, Brooklyn. The entertainment was in the interest of the Lexington avenue branch of the Young Women's Christian association. Miss Runals was ably assisted by Miss Marion C. Poole, whose piano playing delighted the audience. LIBERTY UNION ANNOUNCES NEW MERCANTILE SERVICE. A new move just announced by the International Liberty Union is receiving great attention from the general public and will interest our readers. This union announces in the June number of the Union Journal Magazine, which is their official publication, the opening of a mercantile service to members, giving members their supplies at wholesale prices. The Liberty Union has completed arrangements with shipping warehouses in the principal cities, and all orders from the Liberty Union Home Office will be shipped to members at wholesale prices. This makes the Liberty Union the wholesale distributors at the wholesale price. The Union has arranged a plan to sell to members of the Union in good standing only. Orders are to be re-received amounting to $10 and up. Shipments will be made from the nearest warehouse to the member's nearest railway station. Lodges will be allowed to club together and get their small lots by this plan. The Union will save members from 10 to 50 per cent. on each dollar's worth of goods bought, quality considered. This move is for the single purpose of giving to the Union members some relief from the high prices which they are now forced to pay for their supplies and foodstuffs. The Home Office of the International Liberty Union of the World is in Dayton, Ohio, and any reader of ours who wishes to know all about this order and its many plans for helping its members ought to write them at once. If you write the Union, send 10 cents in stamps, and you will get a special trial subscription for three months to the Union Journal Magazine, also circulars telling all about the Union's work. Address them at 295 International Liberty Union Bldg., Dayton, Ohio. apenas THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. I — STATE OF COLORADO. Insurance Department.

No atrocity in modern times, says the Richmond (Va.) Planet, has exceeded the brutal fiendishness attending the lynching of Rev. John Harvard, near Cochran, Ga., in December. To a person versed in the law, trained in the church and permeated by the civilizing influences now in evidence in the leading communities of the world it seems inconceivable that people of this country could be found who would perpetrate such an outrage. Rev. John Harvard had committed no crime, if the telegraphic reports are to be believed. He was dangerously wounded by Will D. Booth, white, who was in turn said to be fatally injured. He had done nothing further than to defend himself, and yet he was caught and burned at a stake, his death cries being stilled by the heat and smoke of his fiery prison. This brings to mind our oft expressed warning. Colored men who wound or injure white men in this section of the country should defend themselves to the death and then save the last bullet for themselves and take their chances of "going shouting home to glory." It is far better to die like a hero than to be assassinated and burned like a felon. We will not comment further upon this outrage. It is too horrible. Hundreds of white men are condemning the murderers, but there is not one who has announced his ability to bring to dire punishment the fiends who are guilty of this latest ebulition of race prejudice. The south as a whole will be a sufferer, and we shall have for years to come bitter memories of this most diabolical crime ever perpetrated in the southland. St. Philip's to Have NewChurch Edifice. The Rev. N. Peterson Boyd, rector of St. Philip's P. E. church in Brooklyn, announced to his congregation recently that the way was being opened financially for the erection of a $40,000 church edifice with a seating capacity of 600 persons. He also said that the expense of remodeling the present frame building justified such a move: that ground for the new building would be broken on May 1, 1910, and the cornerstone laid July 25 and consecration services held Dec. 9. Archdeacon James J. Russell of Lawrenceville, Va., was present when the announcement was made and sanctioned the Rev. Mr. Boyd's plans. At the recent monthly assembly of the Loendi club of Pittsburg twenty couples were present. It was the club's initial dinner dance and reception. The managers have decided to hold what is to be known in the future as a Friday evening dinner dance in connection with the club's regular dinner. The wives of members, with their invited guests, will hereafter take an active part in these social stunts of the club. Howard's Latest Play In High Favor. Stephen Howard made a decided hit at Pittsburg recently in the production of his latest play, entitled "Under a Cloud." Mr. Howard enacted the role of Morley and was ably supported by the following cast: Miss Tracey, Sara Reese; Josie Reed, Oddessa Grimes; Mr. Tracey, Frank Whitlock; Durkin, William Snowden; Sharp, Charles Johnson; Detective Smith, James Reese. The play will be repeated at the St. Matthew A. M. E. Zion church in January by the same company. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. EIGHTEEN YEARS FOR CRIMINAL ASSAULT. White Man Who Made Brutal Attack on Little Colored Girl Given Compromise Verdict. A white man committed a criminal assault upon a little colored girl in Hampton, Va., says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. The child died, presumably from the shock, and the jury which tried the man, or, rather, brute, returned a verdict of eighteen years in the penitentiary. Of the inadequacy of the punishment the Newport News Times-Herald, one of the most influential white daffies of Virginia, says: "We are always slow to criticise the verdict of a jury. The men who hear the evidence and the argument and who are sworn to render a true and just verdict are the men upon whom the responsibility rests, and they are in a better position than those who judge from afar to decide the case. "But like most 'compromise verdicts' the verdict in the Vandyke assault case in the circuit court of Elizabeth City is absurd on its face. Vandyke was either guilty or not guilty of brutal criminal assault upon a child under the age limit as fixed by law. If not guilty he should have been acquitted, but if guilty, as the jury declared, he should have been sentenced to the electric chair." The above view of the Times-Herald is sufficient evidence to show that there is still in the southern states a class of white men who believe in justice and fair play—men who are not afraid to speak their mind and give the weight of their influence on the side of right, men who will condemn crime, whether found under a black skin or among their own kind. WEALTH NOT GAINED BY ANY SHORT CUTS. We Must Build Upon the Foundations of Truth, Honesty and Right Living, Says Noted Educator. The Rev. Dr. Richard D. Stinson, vice president of Morris Brown college, at Atlanta, Ga., in a recent address at the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York, said: "Many of you feel that there is some short method by which the Negro race shall suddenly bound into wealth, prominence and popularity. May I be permitted to impress you with all the power of my soul that we are going to be prosperous, useful, self reliant and happy in proportion as our lives are built upon the foundations of truth, honesty and right living? To imagine that some one is taking advantage of or mistreating us does not help in making us permanently good and useful." Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the church, who is interested in all good movements for the advancement of the race, called upon his congregation for a collection to assist in the rebuilding of the school which was recently destroyed by fire. The people responded willingly and in a few minutes put on the table a snug sum. Dr. Stinson was greatly encouraged by the liberality of the people and intimated that it was no doubt due to the pastor's wise leadership.

The people of Denver have decided against the water franchise and for the continuation of the liquor traffic under present conditions. The latter does no violence to established conditions. But not so the former. It was the strict letter of the old franchise granted in 1890 that the city either extend the franchise or buy the plant after an appraisement. The city has refused to do the one, and now it is the opinion of The Statesman that the Federal court will hold that it must do the other. If it does, it will come to pass that the Municipal Ownership crowd have gotten us into a dilemma that will rest fearfully hard upon the poor citizens who are now struggling to buy homes. There will be no more elections to decide the water question. It is now up to the lawyers, and we all know, Providence defend the poor, when lawyers get busy! The Republican ticket went down to defeat. The unhappy factional fights in the party made it easy picking for the enemy. Republican wards rolling up Democratic and Citizen majorities are not very consoling. Our parting comment upon the strenuous campaignnig is that the colored citizens did nobly in support of the grand old party and gave a majority vote for the reasonable settlement of the water question. Senator Patterson now has his old enemy, Mayor Speer, on the run, and Republicans can have the consolation that we are not the only house which is divided against itself. AN EMPLOYE OF THE COUNTY. There has been another representative of the race put to work in the county, in the person of R. O. Johnson, who is now at the county jail acting as turnkey. This appointment comes at the hands of Sheriff Alexander Nisbet, whom The Statesman has from time to time commented upon as an official in this city who tries to represent all the people. We take occasion to thank Mr. Nisbet for this appointment on behalf of the colored people of Denver and hope to show at some future time that it is not in mere words we thank him. As for Mr. Johnson, he is an old Republican wheel-horse and undoubtedly will make good as a public servant. Political Death of W. K. Vardaman. Political Death of W. K. Vardaman. Commenting on the recent political reverses of ex-Governor W. K. Vardaman of Mississippi, the Houston (Tex.) Freeman says: "Vardaman, like Bryan, mixed an overdose of populism with Negrophobia and was politically asphyxiated. It is written in the stars that any white man taking a similar dose who becomes, by accident or otherwise, a candidate for a public office, whether great or small, will surely die a political death. There will be no resurrection until Gabriel blows his trumpet—that's all. PAGE. 8. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. IMS. months .....$1.00 Three months .. $ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. LAND FOR NEGRO HOSPITAL. Washington, May 16.—Representative Rucker today introduced a bill providing for the granting of a quarter section of land in Denver county, to beto be used as a site for the proposed Lincoln-Douglas sanatorium and hospital. This hospital and sanatorium is to be built by negroes of the United States and to be used for the accommodation of members of their race who are suffering from tuberculosis. FREE FOR YOU. The Eureka Literary Society will give the best oratorical contest of years at Shorter Chapel Tuesday evening, May 24th, at 8 o'clock. Two prizes will be given—First, a gold medal; second, Kelly Miller's "Race Adjustment." Following are the orations: "Need of a larger and more efficient American navy," Chas. Briten. "True value of character," Miss Lulu Fisher. "Await the issue," J. D. Rice. "Chrispus Attucks, the Martyr," Roy Handy. Oration by Lejon Morrison. There will be musical numbers between. Now, as there is no admission fee, it is the duty of all to be present and encourage the participants. Points of grading will be upon thought, originality and delivery. The Literary Society closes next week for the summer. Mr. Curtis as usual, nothing but the best will be presented. Harris has charge of the program, and A. WAYMAN WARD. Young Gans, the clever light-weight boxer who has proven by defeating all the leading men of his class in Colorado and Wyoming that he ranks with the best in the country, has been matched with Mugsy Shoels for a 20- round battle at Rock Springs, Wyo., on May 30th, Decoration Day. The bout promises to be the biggest event in years in this part of the country and is attracting widespread notice throughout the Rocky Mountain region. The men will meet in a new arena built especially for this battle in the Rock Springs ball park. The advance sale of seats promises 3,000 specetators from Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. Negotiations are now pending to get Fighting Dick Hyland or Matty Baldwin to fight the winner on July 4 in the same ring. The boys are now in training and will enter the ring at 133 pounds. Jack McDonald, the well known sporting man of Rock Springs, will referee the contest. Come down to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club and watch Gans in his training. He will have such men as John Carrie, Corteny of Kansas City, Young Bruce and Kid Coker as trainers. If Gans wins he will go to Salt Lake for a week to see old friends. --- TERMS. President. SPORTS AND THE THE STAGE By LEON PRYOR COLORED THEATERS. I heard from the Kansas City colored theater and they are going to join the colored circuit, which will come as far West as Kansas City and East and South of Chicago. This will make about 50 colored theaters in the states. There are three new Aerodome theaters going up in the Southern states. KID COKER AND SNOWDEN Will give a sparring exhibition of six rounds at the R. M. A. Club Saturday night, May 28th. Both boys are clever and should make the bout worth seeing. It will be fast and snappy, but not a real prize fight. They will box at 8:30 p. m. sharp. THE GREAT PIANO CONTEST. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Club was crowded last Monday evening, all in attendance to the ragtime piano contest. There were entered—Wm. Davis, Fred Clark, Ollie Banks, Arthur Barker and Mr. Fitchell. The boys played hard and were well applauded THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD by the house. Wm. Davis won the contest by a nose and he was also representing the Waldorf Club. Banks ran second and Clark third. Davis was well pleased with the Club's prize, a cup of gold and silver. The quartette was well received. Julius Ragesville, Tom Berry, Sam Edwards and Pryor were doing some excellent singing. The colored soprano soloist of great renown, finished a most successful week at the Majestic theater. Miss Mitchell was formerly with the Williams and Walker Company, the Sunny South and famous Pekin Stock Company. She sings some very pleasing and catchy songs and is the first colored woman to appear at the Majestic as a soloist. WILLIAM DAVIS ABBIE MITCHELL PROF. R. G. HOLLEY Is one of the new song writers for the big Haviland Music Publishers of New York. One of his late songs is the "Queen of the Nile," and I must say that it is one of the best that I have heard. Prof. Holley will have some more late songs out about the middle of June. He has signed a long contract to write exclusively for this one company. The songs will be on sale at all of the music houses of Denver. The special car for the colored people is all in readiness and chances are there will be two cars instead of one. This is going to be a great trip for those who wish to see the Johnson and Jeffries fight July 4. See Victor Walker at the R. M. A. Club and don't forget to sign your name with the rest of the boys. Round trip, $57.50, including berths on Pullman. Chas. White and John Watkins ran up against two dubs, or what they thought were dubs, last Saturday night and what they got was a-plenty, and they will from now on try and play a better game and not think everybody a mark. The well-known sporting writer of the Denver News made himself very plain the other day by coming out and saying that he was the only writer in the world of white writers to stand flat-footed and say that Jeffries didn't have a possible chance of winning over Johnson. He also asserts that Jeff was never a prizefighter, but more of a dub kind. Dick says he will go to the coast one week before the fight as he is pretty sure that both camps are well filled with a lot of sensational sport writers who don't really know what a prize fight is. You talk about camping out. Well, from the looks of the Jeffries camp, they are doing everything but training Jeff. They have a lot of lookerons and chair-warmers who think and tell Jeff all he needs to do is take off some of his weight and then go in and beat the devil out of Johnson. I guess when Jim Corbett gets in camp Jeff will receive his real and only training, and if Corbett doesn't hurry and get there, I don't look for Jeff to stay ten rounds with Johnson, and if Corbett does get there I look for Jeff to stay about 18 rounds, and then do down in defeat. Big Chink says he will have as much as $700 or $800 to bet on Johnson and is trying to get more. He will leave for 'Frisco the latter part of June as he is well acquainted with Johnson and is going out to look him over, but Chink says Johnson should win in 18 rounds. The Olympia Stars beat the Edgewaters last Sunday at Manhattan Beach, 7 to 4. They are booked to play the Japs Sunday at Twenty-second and Welton streets.

THE CONFERENCE The Denver District Conference met with Shorter Chapel Tuesday. Rev. John Turner opened the services by lining hymn No. 188—"Father I Stretch My Hands to Thee"—and lead in a fervent prayer. "There Shall Be Showers of Blessings" was sung by the conference. Rev. J. W. Braxton, of Colorado Springs, read Jer. 2:1-13. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, presiding elder, was introduced to preach the annual sermon. The elder took as his text, Jer. 2:13, "For my people have committed two evils; they have fore-saken me the living water, and hewed them, out cisterns, broken cisterns that hold no water. And for a context, Zach. 13:1, "In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the House of David." Subject: "The Fountain of Living Water." Subject was sub-divided. 1. The Church: 2. The Ministers The Speaker said: 1. God is a fountain of living water? Christ is a fountain of living water in that He is the source of all our happiness. 3. The church is a fountain sealed up. 4. The minister is a fountain (1) of commercial law, and (2) of doctrine. The sermon was a strong appeal; first, to the ministers to keep in touch with the fountain head second, to the people to have confidence in their ministers, as they are the instruments through which God gives to His people the refreshing draughts from that fountain. RESOLUTIONS Whereas, The Divine Creator has taken from our midst Brother Mosby, and we, the Sewing Circle of Zion Baptist church, feel deeply grieved, yet we know God doeth all things for the best.
