FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN COLORADO ACHIEVES A VICTORY African Emigration Society Secures an Immense Land Grant from the Liberian Government. Twenty-Second Year COLORADO ACHIEV A African Emigration an Immense the Liberian A letter has been received from the Liberian government through President Barclay, which informs the Colorado African Colonization Company of which J. Nash Walker is president, that their petition for a land grant has been acceded to. This is a feather in the cap of the Colorado African emigrationists. Others, have talked, but they have the assurance of doing something tangible. The letter of President Barclay of the Liberian republic to Walker is as follows, and it explains the terms under which the immigrants will be given land in that country: "Executive Manslon, Monrovia, Liber ja, March 4, 1911." "Sir—I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of January 19, with petition and other documents. They have been duly considered by the government, and in reply I beg to state: "First—That the government of Liberia will allow the Colorado-African Colonization Company to select and pre-empt the 50,000 acres of land desired in any part of Liberia not in actual occupation of citizens. "Second—Each family of your colony will be granted twenty-five acres of land, and each member of a family 21 years of age an additional 10 acres, as soon as the land taken up has been somewhat improved by the erection of a house and the cultivation of two or three acres of land assigned them. Colonies May Adjoin. "Third—The selection and pre-empiration of the land to the service of the society will enable you to plant your colonies in touch with each other, and so carry out any special plans you may have." "Fourth—Your colonists may even form your own township, where you would have under the laws of Liberia the right of municipal self-government. A Liberian township may be thirty-two square miles, or sixty-four square miles, according to circumstances. "Fifth—I suggest that the lands desired be selected at River Cess, in Grand Bassa county, or in the Cavalia river, in Maryland county, where an outlet to navigation might be easily secured. But there are other places available. A small party of two or three persons should be sent out to make the selection. Any further information desired in connection will be promptly furnished upon request by yours faithfully. "ARTHUR BARCLAY." FIREMEN MAY BE SUED. The firemen of Engine No. 3 had plenty of sport last Saturday. They had rigged up a battery and connected it to the door knob of the engine house. Thereupon they called in all their friends, who were appropriately surprised and shocked when they took hold of the door. In order to make sure of a good job they kept the space in front of the door good and wet, and they are now in fear and trembling of an extra jolt from the Denver Union Water Co. for water wasted. REV. OVER COMES HOME. On Sunday Zion Baptist Church will have its regular pastor, Rev. D. E. Over, in the pulpit. Rev. Over has been spending three months in California for the benefit of his health. He is reported to be in excellent health and ready to get into harness with his old time vim and vigor. The rejoicing at Zion is sincere and general. During his absence Rev. Banks was his substitute and kept the work well up. Thirty new members have been taken into the church, sixteen of whom are to be baptized. The attendance has been well maintained, and finance is in satisfactory shape. NEGRO SOLDIERS. (By John E. Bruce Grit.) It may not be generally known to the present generation of Negroes that the Confederates at or soon after the beginning of hostilities between the North and the South, made a very strenuous effort to popularize sentiment in the South in favor of arming the blacks to fight against the "Yankees," and incidentally against themselves. Col. J. T. Wilson in his book "The Black Phalanx," says: "Prejudice against the Negro at the North was so strong that it required the arm of public authority to protect him from assault, though he declared in favor of the union. Not so at the South, for as early as April, 1861, the free Negroes of New Orleans, La., held a public meeting and begun the organization of a batallion, with officers of their own race, with the approval of the state government which commissioned their Negro officers. When the Louisiana militia was reviewed the Native Guards (Negro) made up, in part, the first division of the state troops. Elated at the success of being the first to place Negroes in the field with white troops, the commanding general sent the news over the wires to the jubilant Confederacy: New Orleans, Nov. 23, '61. Over 28,000 troops were reviewed today by Governor Moore, Maj. Gen. Lovell and Brig. Gen. Ruggles. The line was over seven miles long. One regiment comprised 1,400 free colored men." Again, quoting from Col. Wilson's book: "Emissaries of Mr. Davis had just returned from the peace conference at Fortress Monroe where they met representatives of the United States government and learned that the conditions upon which the southern states could resume their relations were those which they were compelled to accept finally." "On Feb. 8, Senator Brown of Mississippi introduced a resolution which, if it had been adopted, would have freed 200,000 Negroes and put them into the Confederate army; but on the next day it was voted down in secret session. Upon this very day, Feb. 9, Judah P. Benjamin, the Confederate secretary of state, addressed a large public meeting at Richmond. He made a very extraordinary speech, in the course of which he said: "We have 680,000 blacks capable of bearing arms and who ought now to be in the field. Let us now say to every Negro who wishes to go into the ranks on condition of being free, go and fight; you are free. My own Negroes have been to me and said: 'Master, set us free and we'll fight for you.' You must make up your mind to try this or see your army withdrawn from before your town. I know not where white men can be found." Jefferson Davis only a few days before he became a wanderer upon the earth, disguised in woman's attire, sent the following letter to the governor of Virginia, William Smith: Richmond, Va., March 30, '65. Upon receipt of your letter of the 27th instant, I had a conference with the secretary of war and adjutant general in relation to your suggestion as to the published order for the organization of Negro troops, and I hope that the modification which has been made will remove the objection which you pointed out. It was never my intention to collect Negroes in depots for purposes of instruction, but only as to the best mode of forwarding them either as individuals or as companies, to the command with which they were to serve. The officers in the different posts will aid in providing for the Negroes in their respective neighborhood, and in forwarding them to depots where transportation will be available, and aid them in reaching the field of service for which they were destined. The aid of gentlemen who are willing and able to raise this character of troops will be freely accepted. The appointment of commanders, for reasons obvious to you, must depend on other considerations than the mere power to recruit. I am happy to receive your assurance of success, as well as your promise to seek legislation to secure unmistakably freedom to the slave who shall enter the army, with a right to return to his old home when he shall have been honorably discharged from the military service. I remain of the opinion that we should confine our first efforts to getting volunteers and would prefer that you would adopt such measures as would advance that mode of recruiting, rather than that of which you make inquiry, viz: by issuing requisitions for the slaves as authorized by the state of Virginia. I have the honor to be with much respect. Your obedient servant, JEFFERSON, DAVIS JEFFERSON DAVIS. It was not written in the book of fate that the Negroes who were held in bondage by the men who had precipitated the war of rebellion upon the question of the extension of human slavery, should take up arms against the men who were opposed to that idea. The paramount issue with the North at that time was the preservation of the Union. It could not be preserved with slavery, for Mr. Lincoln, although he had declared in his first inaugural address that he had no intention to interfere with the institution of slavery, believing that he had no right to do so, and again, that "If I can save the Union with slavery I will do it; if I can save it without slavery, I will do it," later declared: "This nation cannot endure half slave and half free." It was not that he make any specific declaration on the subject of the abolition of slavery, for he outlined his real attitude on that subject in his latter declaration in which he showed the impossibility of the establishment of a free government with human slavery as its chief cornerstone. The swan song of Jefferson Davis, the prophetic vision of Jefferson D. Benjamin, the keen and clear and penetrating insight of General Robert E. Lee who also was strongly in favor of the enlistment of Negroes in the rebel armies which he commanded, are now all matters of history. Had the white South displayed as much wisdom at the beginning of hostilities as it discovered when its star was setting and its doom was inevitable, its humiliation had not been so crushing. It wanted the Negro to fight its battles, but it feared to trust its destiny in his hands until the last moment, and then, like the proverbial drowning man who catches at a straw, it sought his aid. But it was too late. The North, seeing its weakness, its helplessness, its despair, impressed these slaves into the Federal army and with them crushed human slavery and blotted out treason upon the altar of human liberty. The same thing had been done in the revolution, and in 1812, and it will be done again when the stress of war shall overtake this nation. Only with this difference: that the bulwarks of the nation will not be, slaves, but free men of color. (To be continued.) EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTION.

It seems that Dr. Lucas has continued there the teachings which he promulgated while here and they took exception and arrested him. The town then took sides, pro and anti-Lucas parties, and interest is intense. At present it appears that Rev. Lucas will win out. He contemplates filing suit for defamation of character. He means to resist prosecution to the bitter end. LA JUNTA, COLO Mr. E. Tyler has gone out of the rooming house business and has moved his barber shop on Second street. The H.

Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 9th, 1910. SS ae To Whom It May Concern: After reading Madam Perkins’ ad- vertisement in “The Philadelphia Tribune,” I called to see her and had the first treatment at her office. I have been using her wonderful scalp treatment for one year and find it has no equal. It is all that it is adver- tised to be, and it is so wonderful that I can hardly find words to express just how great it is. My hair was very short and very thin and full of dandruff. Now my hair has grown five inches longer than when I started. It is now twice as thick and as soft as silk. I highly recommend her treat- ment to others. The best thing to do is to try it and be convinced for your- self. There is nothing in the world to equal it for our race in the way of growing hair. Miss Annie Jackson, . 1739 Bainbridge Street.

Washington on Sunday evening, March 19, by one Henry A. Ulrich, at or in the neighborhood of $11\frac{1}{2}$ West Sixty-third street, this city, was one of the most brutal, unprovoked and malicious attacks upon a human being imaginable. According to Dr. Washington's own statement, he arrived in New York on Saturday and put up at the Hotel Manhattan, where he usually stops when in this city. On Sunday afternoon he spoke at the Mount Olivet Baptist church and later at the Church of the Pilgrims, in Brooklyn. Returning to his room in the hotel, he changed his clothing and about 9 o'clock went in search of the auditor of the Tuskegee institute, who he understood from a letter which he received from Mr. Emmett J. Scott, his private secretary, was stopping with friends at $11\frac{1}{2}$ West Sixty-third street. Upon arriving at the above number Dr. Washington scanned the names on the bells leading to the different floors for the name of the person mentioned in Mr. Scott's letter, with whom the auditor of Tuskegee was stopping. Finding what he thought was the right name, he rang the bell, but got no response. Thinking that the occupants were possibly at church, he returned to the street and walked up and down the block for some time. He went back the second time, but did not succeed in getting an answer to his ring. To convince himself of the name of the person and the number of the house he went back the third time. It was on this third visit that the said Henry Ulrich made the attack upon him, saying that Mrs. Ulrich had stated to him that a colored man in the vestibule had accosted her as she entered, calling her "sweetheart." This statement Dr. Washington emphatically denies. He says that he spoke to neither man, woman nor child either on his way to or at 11% West Sixty-third street. Dr. Washington also denies the charge that he had been drinking. The noted educator said he wanted to make two things very clear to the public—first, that he had not drunk anything all day Sunday, and, second, that he did not nod, motion or bow to any one that night, nor had he ever drunk in his life. Dr. Washington and Ulrich were ar- Dr. Washington and Ulrich were arrested by a policeman after the former had been badly beaten. They were THE MASTER 5 © 1911, by American Press Association. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AS HE APPEARED IN COURT TUESDAY, MARCH 21. taken to the station house, where a charge of felonious assault was made against Ulrich, whom the magistrate held for a further hearing and examination in court Monday afternoon. But when the case was called in the West Side court Monday afternoon Wilford H. Smith, attorney for Dr. Washington, presented to Magistrate Cornell of that court a signed statement from the attending physician to the effect that Dr. Washington was too ill to appear, whereupon Justice Cornell set 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon for a hearing, holding Ulrich in $1,500 ball. Dr. Washington's right ear was badly torn, his face bruised and his head cut so severely that sixteen stitches were required to close the wound. He was attended at the Flower hospital. The fact that Dr. Washington was unable to appear in court on Monday to press his charge against Ulrich started many wild rumors as to the possibility of his appearing at all against his assailant. The public was becoming alarmed, and sentiment in Dr. Washington's favor ripened thick and fast. Some satisfaction, however, was had by the following official statement given out by Seth Low, president of the board of trustees of Tuskegee institute: President Seth Low's Statement. As president of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee Institute I was shocked to read this morning of the assault that had been made upon Dr. Washington last night. The facts are these: Dr. Washington reached New York on Saturday morning from Michigan. Yesterday morning he spoke at the Mount Olive Baptist church and in the afternoon at the Quincy Baptist Church. In the evening about 9 o'clock he started out to find Mr. Smith, a certified public accountant, who is auditor of the Tuskegee institute, a white gentleman, whom he expected to find staying with friends at 11% West Sixty-third street. This is an apartment house of the type occupied by different families on different floors, whose names appear with bells on an index below. When Dr. Washington first reached the house he entered the vestibule and could get no reply to the bell he rang, and so he moved up and down the street and around the neighboring block where the New theater stands and returned to the house twice, each time entering the vestibule, but not the house. On his third visit he entered the vestibule and was leaning over to try to find the name he was looking for when suddenly a man rushed in from the street THE MASTER OF THE MASTER 1611, by American Press Association. K. BARNETT DODSON AND WILFORD H. SMITH, ATTORNEY FOR DR. WASHINGTON, LEAVING COURT. and began to assault him. He defended himself and got out into the street, a second man with a stick struck him. Then he tried to escape, when both he and the first one of his assailants were taken to the station house by a policeman who met them. From the time Dr. Wash- ington left the hotel until he was assaulted he spoke to nobody, neither man nor woman. The trustees of the Tuskegee institute have absolute confidence in Dr. Washington, and they will give to him whatever support and aid he needs. To assure inquirers that Dr. Washington would surely appear in court Tuesday afternoon Counselor Wilford H. Smith gave out the statement that his client wished a thorough investigation, of the most unfortunate affair and would push his case to the limit of the law against his assailant. By 1 o'clock Tuesday the courtroom was crowded with spectators, both white and colored, who had come to witness what is considered to be an all important case. Mrs. Ulrich, who accuses Dr. Washington of calling her "sweetheart," walked to the court, while Dr. Washington came in an automobile, accompanied by his counsel, Borough President McAneny, D. Macon Webster, ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback and other distinguished men. When the case was called counsel for Ulrich entered a plea of not guilty. Magistrate Cornell then told the lawyer that he would hold his client in $500 bond for special sessions. No time was given as to when the case would come up in that court. Disappointed at not seeking and hearing argument by counsel on either side, the crowd left the courtroom in disgust. One white man was so badly affected by the disposal of the case that he immediately fainted on reaching the sidewalk. Wilford H. Smith, counsel for Dr. Washington, is a lawyer of known ability and has no fears as to the outcome of his client's case. As a pleader and proctor in admiralty he is admitted to have few equals. As a race man he is not of the kind to easily give up a fight for justice according to law. He is well fortified with facts and witnesses to support Dr. Washington's statement as to why he went to 111 West Sixty-third street on the evening of March 10. Dr. Washington has received thousands of messages, letters, telegrams, notes and personal calls from friends all over the United States expressing their sympathy for and confidence in him. He was greatly pleased Tuesday morning when he received the following personal letter from President Taft: The White House, Washington, March 7, 1911 My Dear Dr. Washington-I am greatly distressed at your misfortune, and I hasten to write you of my sympathy, my hope that you will soon recover from the wounds inflicted by insane suspicion or viciousness and of my confidence in you, in your integrity and morality of character and in your highest usefulness to your race and to all the people of this country. It would be a nation's loss if this untoward incident in any way impaired your great power for good in the solution of one of the most difficult problems before us. I want you to know that your friends are standing by you in every trial and that I am proud to subscribe myself as one.

THE STATESMAN-3 PRIMARY FIGHT IN BALTIMORE. Mayor Mahool In Disfavor. Bright Outlook For Torsch. DAVENPORTAGAINSTGUMMINGS Afro-American Voters Are Especially Interested In the Councilmanic Contests In the Fifth and Seventeenth Wards, Where Two of Their Number Are Up For Nomination. BY FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. Baltimore.—One of the most important primary campaigns ever held here will take place the first Tuesday in April, when candidates of both of the leading political parties will be selected by the voters at a direct primary. In the Democratic party Mayor Mahool is the anti-organization candidate, while James H. Preston is the ring's choice. Mahool owes his election four years ago in part to the fact that many colored voters refused to support E. Clay Timanus, the Republican standard bearer, who was regarded as inimical to the interests of the race. Should Mahool again be nominated he cannot rely on much colored support, as he has favored disfranchisement and the proposed law segregating the race to certain residence districts. The Republican machine is again supporting Timanus for the nomination, but he is not making any active campaign. He met a number of leading colored residents at the home of City Councilman Harry S. Cummings a few weeks ago, when he made some roseate promises to the colored people should he be elected. Since then his stock has declined among the colored voters somewhat because of the fact that he caused the arrest of a colored man who asked him to change a fifty dollar bill. The man was turned loose, however, by the authorities, as they found that the money belonged to him. Timanus is being opposed for the nomination by Charles H. Torsch, one of the most successful business men in the city. Mr. Torsch is making an energetic campaign of a high order. He is a ready letter writer, and each day something from his pen has appeared in the papers. He rendered signal service to the race in both of his anti-amendment campaigns, when he paid the newspapers of the city to place his views against the iniquitous measures in their advertising columns. The fights of deepest interest to the race are the councilmanic ones in the Seventeenth and Fifth wards. William F. Allen, a contractor and builder, is running against a white Republican for the nomination from the latter ward. He is fifty-seven years of age and has been interested in politics for years. In the Seventeenth ward Louis H. Davenport is contesting with Harry S. Cummings for the nomination. Mr. Davenport was born in Virginia in 1854. He removed to Kentucky at an early age and was educated in the public schools of that state. He has been a resident of this city since 1877 and has been active in business and political circles. He started out in the grocery business, was for a number of years engaged in the produce business and is now running a successful new and secondhand furniture establishment. He is also a large stockholder in a local insurance company, as well as being chief paymaster for the same. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, the Odd Fellows, the Nazarites, the Order of Moses, of which he is the grand orator, and other societies. He is a trustee of the Union Baptist church, Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson pastor. He has long been interested in politics and is a familiar figure at conventions. During the four years he served as a member of the Republican state central committee he made a successful fight for colored men as election officials by continuing to send up the names of colored men for the same until the Democratic officials opposed to the same accepted them. Four years ago he was a candidate for the councilmanic nomination. He is credited with raising the largest amount with but one exception that any colored man raised to help fight the disfranchisement propaganda and is also one of the contributors to the recent money raised by the colored people here to test the "grandfather clause" in the United States supreme court. Harry S. Cummings was born in this city in 1866. He was educated in the public schools of the city, Lincoln university and the law school of the University of Maryland, being one of the two colored members of the class of 1889. He was first elected to the city council in 1890. It was on a councilmanic junket to Boston that he gained favor by delivering one of the best speeches at a banquet in that city to Baltimore's solons. He was the author of the law which established the old Colored Polytechnic institute. He delivered one of the speeches nominating President Roosevelt at the Chicago convention in 1900 and in a number of national campaigns has spoken in various sections of the country. He is attorney general for the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and a member of the board of governors of the Maryland Colored House of Reformation. His latest efforts in this city have been directed in opposition to the passage of the injugentous segregation measure.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "Just as good") or referred to "PORO."

A GIANT IN POSSIBILITIES, THOUGH A PIGMY NOW It is with saddening frequency that we hear it said by merchants that colored people depend upon the daily press which is white for their store news, and that advertisements in the colored press are a charitable gift rather than a business deal with a legitimate return. Whether they speak the truth or not, they act upon that theory and as a result the white press waxes strong, fed by the advertising profit, part of which comes from the money spent by colored people. At the same time the colored press drags out a precarious existence. The one holds us up to scorn in its bid for popular favor; the other wages a losing fight in our behalf. Perhaps this condition does not permit of remedy, but certainly it is grave enough to be worth the effort at correction. Renderers of Negro papers will do the race a service, will indirectly benefit their own condition, if they will tell the merchants they patronize that they appreciate seeing the merchants advertise in the race papers. They should go further and patronize the advertisers who do seek their patronage through our press. If they are not satisfied with the goods offered, they can at least give them an inspection and say that their attention was directed to the store by the advertisement. Colored people know well that there are stores a-plenty which do not want their trade. There are doctors and dentists who put prohibitive prices on their service for colored people. There is no sense in thrusting our money on people who do not want it, when others are asking for it through the usual business channels. Some Denver undertakers have said that they preferred no colored business and take it only when it is offered to them, and yet there are people who offer. Think over this matter and then act. Your patronage is given the grocer, the butcher, the dry goods merchant, real estate dealer and in fact everybody, and is paid for with as good money as any one's. It should not be shared with a paper by way of advertising which holds you up to scorn, and dented to your own papers which defend you. Read over the list of advertisers in race papers. Thank them next time you visit their stores. Tell those who do not advertise that they can help their business by doing so. Seek to create in the merchant's mind the thought that colored people notice the treatment he accords them and when he needs help he will not assign only the menial places to us. On the other hand, continue to kiss the hand that smites and it will not be long before we lose even the little we have. Make your dollar count!

To the joy of all, the young ladies treated their visitors to a "Dago lunch," which was relished by all. Some candy was hurriedly cooked and the pleasure of years ago was resorted to, the pulling. An unknown prize was to be given to the couple having the best plate of candy, which was won by Miss Grace Walker and Wilbur Wood. The prize proved to be the washing of all the dishes, and while the others enjoyed the cozy corners of the front rooms, these two "prize winners" cleared away the debris. Mr. A. G. Fallings proved himself a worthy host Tuesday night by the manner in which he entertained a few friends at cards and music complimentary to Misses Hattie Pritchett and Maud Micheaux. Mr. Fallings spared no pain in his endeavor and that he met with success was demonstrated by the fact that it was near day when the guests departed. The large residence of Mr. A. Wilson on Glenarm was opened to the party and after the service of punch, ice cream and cake the guests spent the rest of the evening "wearing out the carpets." Misses Hattie Pritchett and Maud Micheaux left Wednesday evening for Los Angeles and other points in California, to be gone indefinitely. They are two of Denver's most popular young ladies and will be missed by their many friends and two boys. Mr. Louis R. May of Lincoln, Neb., was in the city this week.

Clinkscale and O. T. Jackson met in the office of Cohen & Houston, Saturday, April 1st, 1911, for the purpose of organizing a laundry company, to establish a first class modern laundry business. The company will be capitalized for $50,000, divided into 50,000 shares, par value $1 each. Agents will be put to work to solicit stockholders and laundry work; all who are interested in an enterprise of this kind which will furnish employment to twenty or more people, can call on either of the above named promoters for further information. It is a fact that there are two thousand laundry bundles delivered each week to the Denver laundries by our people which will average 50 cents each, or a total of laundry work from Colored people alone of $1,000 per week. We believe that a Colored Laundry Company can control at least one-fourth of this business, and we can secure any amount of commercial work from hotels and rooming houses. Another meeting of the promoters will be held Saturday, April 8th, at 8:30 o'clock p. m., at the office of Cohen & Houston, to perfect the organization. Four good lady solicitors are wanted to canvass for the company. Harry Jones is a better speaker than he was. He says it is due to a slight operation he underwent this week.

NG ter rs, ns, in VING LIN --- WELL FORTIFIED SAVINGS BANK Pride of Richmond's Financial Concerns Started In Basement. CAPITAL STOCK QUICKLY PAID Corperation ae ee John Mitchell, B vicsinie onrec ins cee eissoas: Biseeee ee the Richmond, Va.—That the Virginia Afro-American is+ making remarkable Progress in the realm of commerce {s concretely evidenced in this city by a financial institution known as the Me- chanics’ Savings bank. To the pessi- mist it demonstrates the colored man’s ability to become a financier along the most modern and conserva- te lines as wel! as the producer of an atmosphere which is a stimulus to thousands of Afro-Americans, from the rural districts to the boy operating an eievator in a skyscraper. The founder of the bank is one of the most unique characters claiming the attention of the American public today. The name of John Mitchell, Jr.. is synonymous of the ideals which make for the In- telligent and fearless American jour- nalist of the first rank—the American whose life vitalizes every activity of the buman family for the conservation of Its relizious, civic, social, economic and educational forces. On Noy. 20, 1901, this bank was given its charter of incorporation, be- ing capitalized at $25,000. The board of directors was composed of the fol- lowing men: Jobn Mitchell, Jr, Wil Mam A. Hankins, Thomas M. Crump. Joho R. Chiles, R. W. Whiting, EL RB. Jefferson, D. J. Chavers, W. F. Graham, Thomas Smith. J. T. Taylor, J. 4 Carter. E. A. Washington. B. P. Van- dervall, William Custalo, J. C. Farley and H. F. Jonathan. These men are among the highest type of Afro-Amert cans. Their keen business acumen was shown In thelr beginning business in a basement with three rooms on North Third street. Jan. 1, 1902. Six teen thousand six hundred dollars of the capital stock was at once paid by the above named representative business men before they began bus! mess, which afforded the necessary banking appurtenances. The people had implicit confidence in the men pro moting the bubk. and the other stock was subsequently sold readily. The first week's deposits amounted to $8,000, and because of adhering to the Inws governing banks the boldings apd real estate bad focreased to $90,000 and total deposits to the amount of $2.702.236.76 for the busi. ness done for the eight years ending the year of 1909. Imbued with a con- servative banking spirit. Presideot Mitebell, after showing the directors the peculiar exigencies of the bank requiring larger quarters, was given authority to recommend such to the stockholders, and the capital stock was increased to $100,000 at the an- nual meeting In 1900. By June 27 the same year the Afro-American peo- Ple had ove of the finest banks in the south. This building is four stories.

The directors’ room has its long ma- hogany table and chairs for the alx- teen directors, Over the vault will be found the reception. room, with its ar- tistie design. The loving cup present- ed to President Mitchell, a lovely crea- ton, is in this department, mounted on a white murble pedestal, This affords sufficlent vantage for the viewing of every department of the’ bank, and when the chandeliers with their many electric bulbs flood the interior with their rays a scene is presented which is uplifting. ‘The vault is among the best found in the country, and the door alone weighs five tons. It is one of the lat- est designs from one of the oldest companies in the country. Another significant feature of the building Is its magnificent roof garden. which has a tile floor and is undoubtedly the fin- est roof garden for the race in the country. The building has all the appurte- nances peculiar to skyscrapers, and the elevator takes one to floors occupled by professional and business men. This bank is thorough in all of its depart. ments, and its methods are similar to the very best banks, not lacking in any detail. Mr. Mitchell enjoys the distinc- tion of being a member of the wealthi- est American organization, the Amer- fcan Bankers’ association, and his bank js affilinted with the strongest banks ey 67 0D aa in the world.

Journal and Guide in warning the Anti-saloon league of the danger in making the race ques- tion an issue in its political campaign In Virginia says Any party or faction which would inject the race issue in politics under existing conditions represents the vilest demagogy that can emanate from pol- Juted politics. If the anti-saloon people are not morally strong enough to win on thelr moral issue. {f they cannot win without resorting to the expediency of inflam- ing the passions of men by fanning the flames of race prejudice, thelr cause is not worthy of victory and de- serves to be defeated. UNDISCOVERED TALENTS. Read to Success Lies In Ability to Choose Right Occupation. Latent or undiscovered ability is a handicap to any man, young or old, says the Indianapolis (Ind.) Recorder. When you fail to recognize your strong potnt because you were not educated to do so you become a loser. Study yourself and ,the things you like to do. to see. to read about and to know about. The chances are that you will not be long in deciding Just what talents you possess and what you ought to do to develop them. You will find success lying in that direction, and it depends upon what you select as a permanent Job just how you should define the word lying. Busy Life of Mrs. Minnie Scott.

Mr. Ed Peat and McKenzie, an east ern negro act with class, played at the Auditorium, Philadelphia, last week and made a great hit. Their act is one that is very different from most colored acts, and they could make good in any house. Mr. Peat is the comedian of the team and is singing his latest success, "You Done Lost Your Mind." /McKenzie is doing the Chinaman stunt that is a scream. They opened in New York this week. BOB SLATER. The old timer, Bob Slater, who has been out of the business for some time, has formed a trio with Sadie Britton, widow of late Joe Britton, and Lillian Bradford. They will do a neat, classical song and dance act on big time. HENDERSON & HENDERSON. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson, a team with a laugh, heart, soul, created an impression greatly to their credit last week at the Palace theatre, Philadelphia. Mrs. Henderson is a great Irish impersonator and her work is at all times well received, and Henderson is in a class pretty nearly by himself. THOMAS & LE NOIR Making good? Well we are that Who? Thomas and Le Noir, known throughout the country as the Klassyy Kolored Couple, and they are on their second successful tour with the Wm. McCabe Minstrels. REITTER & STONE. A coming team of young actors, Reitter and Stone, appeared at the Crescent theatre of New York City last week for the first time and introduced their act, which is said to be a novel. Their efforts were highly appreciated and there is no doubt but what they won't become great, as they are on their way. COLORED THEATRE FOR DENVER SURE. Better late than never, true the old saying, slow but sure. We are about to have a colored theatre for this dear old city of Denver and there couldn't be a better negro business than the one mentioned. Yes, we need a negro theatre and I am heartily in favor of any place that will give the amateurs of this city a chance to show their ability. BROWN & HODGES It is now Brown & Hodges again, Harry A. Brown and Miss Lula Hodges, Indian cartoonists and singers, after a big successful season in conjunction with Frank Brown, have returned to their double act and the latter is working in vaudeville alone as a lyric tenor, Brown & Hodges are at present in New York City getting their paraphernalia together for an extended spring and summer season throughout the states. CYCLO & CYCLO. Champion all around athletes and heavy weight lifters, Cyclo & Cyclo, made a big hit last week at the Duval theatre, Indianapolis. Their act consists of torchlight juggling and physiculture. They will be in Denver this June on the Pantages time. NEXT WEDNESDAY EVENING AT R. M. A. CLUB. Gentlemen members nad friends are all invited to be in attendance to the boxing matches at the club this coming Wednesday night. There will be several good boys work out and they will make the evening one of pleasure and amusement. LANGFORD AND McVEY FIGHT A DRAW. In what should have been a one-sided affair, or in other words, a knockout to Langford's credit, Sam McVey, the American Parisian fighter, was allowed to stay twenty rounds with one Samuel Langford, and won as much as a draw. Langford in the first nine rounds had McVey at his mercy and could have put his man away with ease. But not so. He allowed McVey to get together and stay the limit of twenty rounds, and it will probably be the cause of negro boxers being barred out of the fighting game in the gay city of Paris. KID BRUCE WILL MEET BATTLING NELSON. Otis Kid Bruce, the fast little negro boxer, who has made such wonderful headway in the art of boxing, and formerly a Denver boy, is fast coming to front. A wealthy Cheyenne merchant has sent word to Pike Johnson, sporting editor of the Denver News, that he is willing to forfeit as much as a thousand dollars for a match between Kid Bruce and Battling Nelson, former lightweight champion of the world. Bruce has gone to Montana to box, but will be back in Cheyenne the first of May to start in active training for any of the best men in his class, white or black. COLORADO SPRINGS BLACK SOX TO PLAY PUEBLO. The Colorado Springs Black Sox baseball team will play the Pueblo Giants tomorrow at Pueblo, and the Springs team borrowed two men from the R. M. A. C. team, Scotty Williams and Duke White, which should be the means of them winning the game tomorrow, as the Denver boys are very near in a class by themselves. ROYAL DUKE. Once more the old timer, Royal Duke, the far famed mixologist, is back at his old stand, the Rocky Mountain Athletic club, and is receiving his friends with the same old ever welcome smile. Duke has promised a new line of drinks that would be a credit to any bar. So don't forget to look him over. D. A. C. BELL BOYS, BASEBALL TEAM. Mr. Johnnie Carter, head bellman at the Denver Athletic club, has taken it upon himself to organize a ball team that will play all the other club teams in the city, and would also like to hear from some of the good team managers of this city for an early game. Address D. A. Club. YOUNG GANS IN BUTTE. Young Gans, the clever negro boxer of Denver, has left Salt Lake for Butte, where he expects to fight the first of May.

It's the greatest healer of ulcers, burns, bolls, eczema, scalds, cuts, corns, cold-sores, bruises and piles on earth. Try it, 25c, at all drummers. TAKE NOTICE. The Y. M. C. B. Tennis club will meet Wednesday night, April 12, at the residence of Miss Lenora Finley, 2039 Lafayette street, for the purpose of reorganizing and electing officers. The new court is under construction and all members and those desiring to become members will please come out prepared to pay all or a part of the season's assessment, as it is impossible to go farther with the work without funds. C. E. LANGSTON. President. NINTH CAVALRY NOTES. The 9th U. Cavalry arrived at San Antonio, Texas, on March 15 and proceeded, in order, to their camp site on Government hill. The camp is on one of the prettiest sites in the vicinity and overlooks San Antonio and all the other regiments. A pipe line extends through the main "street" and everything is kept in a sanitary condition throughout. Aside from the heavy mud, camp life here is ideal and the men enjoy the pleasant moonlight nights to their hearts' content. Such a difference between this climate and those wintry blasts of Cheyenne. Several of the troops have discharged men, per expiration of servive, many of whom re-enlisted. "Watch and wait" seems to be the password now and everybody is waiting for an order to move either to the border or back to Ft. Russell. Since our arrival at San Antonio we have changed commanding officers. Colonel Guillfoyle succeeded Lieut. Colonel Irwin. Mr. Chas. Hammock was discharged on the 30th and re-enlisted on the 31st for the band. Mr. Hammock was appointed corporal on the following day, April 1st. Mr. Hammock is the sole baritone and we are glad that he stayed with the 9th horse band. The San Antonio girls are in evidence at the camp and the boys spruce up for the afternoon formations as they have never done before. The band played Sunday night at the A. M. E. church in San Antonio. A large crowd heard and appreciated Prof. Hammond's well rendered program. Oh, yes, you will get your money's worth and more. We star at 8 o'clock and close at 3 o'clock.

HARRIS Funeral Director PETER H. DEMOCRATS FIGHT The officers and members of the Jefferson League desire to make a statement to the public concerning the article of O. T. Jackson in your issue of March 18. It is indeed embarrassing to have to pay any attention to one who is puffed up, peeved and insulted because those who secured him his position and the whole population will not recognize him as leader. The position we secured him, while a mental one, and we say this without disrespect, is good pay and requires no ability. A controversy for this reason resembles a tempest in a teapot, a duel with pins. There are Jackson in the white as well as the black race. He is catering to the influence of his type. There are whites who believe that Negroes have no rights and Negroes who have little or no self-respect. Our reason for asking this space is to disillusionize this Jackson type of its influence with respectable colored citizens. The better element of colored citizens already know this. He mentions our record of 25 years of failure. Whether success or failure, it can stand for itself. The only part we know of that has met with general rebuke is the part we have played in getting Jackson his present position. Jackson has unconsciously done us a great honor. Anciently we are classed with Socrates and Christ, and in modern history with Lovejoy, Garrison Phillips and Lincoln. We are contemporary with Roosevelt, Bryan, Folk, LaFollette. Omitting discussions of business and the like, and confining ourselves to public life, we confess we are willing to admit any ability he may have regardless of our personal feeling against him. He metaphorically pats himself on the back for the manner in which he hoodwinked a delegation of colored citizens Dec. 13, who called to see the governor on business.
