The Freeman correspondent urges its readers in and out of the city to attend the Marshall and the staff will assure all one big evening with the "boys in blue." It has been whispered around that if Col. Deenen can make it convenient these busy political meetings to get there for the event, the governor was more than pleased with the soldiers at Camp Neenan, Pearlia, III, and that he is pleased that the governor is not the nation of the largest regiment in the state and the one that always makes the best record. committee wishes it to be known that the anniversary is not the state affair, but one that all the citizens of Chicago are expected to take part in.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER The Freeman correspondent always takes a deep interest in the colored people of Chicago that are in business and delight to watch those that are making progress in the city. 2015 State street looked in the newly decorated window of Mr. Peter Jones and saw a magnificent arrangement of photographs on display. We paused a minute and aook a gooob observation of work in the window and saw a picture of the Regiment staff and the Reveler's Club members and a host of other individuals. The individuals were the most prominent in the professional, business and social life of the office, and the window at the same time and such pressions as "aint they fine," "don't you look at it," "isn't that fine work" actually the "best in town" and other such remarks. Entered his parlor and were genius, intelligent, kind and all sizes, both white and colored, and prevailed upon us to have our taken. In a day or so, Mr. Jones would have taken all of which we could select, and a day afterwards they were ready. We have come to the conclusion of all his customers, that he was the best ever" and save perfect satisfaction. Mr. Jones called our attention to the man who took the picture with the brown shirt. He took the class to see what he is par excellence. It shows that he possesses the ability to give that touch" which makes photographs stand out as artists. It has come to him that he is an artist. Although a young man, he often actually engaged in the work for fifteen years. He comes to Chicago from Kalamazoo, Mich., but previous to that time he was working in Detroit, Boston, Miami, and San Francisco. He arrived in Chicago seven years ago and worked at one of the large downtown buildings to enter business for himself and many years ago, hung up his desk, and now knowing to be able to do good work and be up with the demands of the times, he got to get the necessary equipment and set up the entire Equipment business his every effort, and today company Jones has one of the best companies in the country, which is a credit to him and an establishment that is spoken highly of by white artists of this community. of Mr. Koehler the pleasant characterities they show bliss the witness and count- ing. as courteous and business-like is his wife, Mrs. Alice Jones, who is his valuable assistant, Mr. Jones having been makes a spendid sales-taily, and one of his pictures without leaving an order. To show that Mr. Jones' artistic ability is appreciated, is evidenced by the leading and most representative citizens of Chicago and others from all parts of the country. Perhaps one of his pictures for feature work is that done for electrical people. He has made pictures for Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson, S. H. Dudley, and others in a necessary, a best of vaudeville celebrities. They were all satisfied and recommended others of their profession. That which is making a hit with the people, is Mr. Jones' making four or five poses for an individual to select from before the pictures are made; save: Cloudy or rainy days have in making a picture. Pictures are made on these days as well as those during sunshine. The finishing is done with an leading photographers in this country. Mr. Jones is now ready for fall and winter trade. He is fully capable of making a picture as a can be made in the high grade work of leading photographers, and is equally qualified to give perfect satisfaction. From all indications his trade is growing rapidly due to the high grade work soils, patrons and readers to go on Jones' pictures of having pictures taken or enlarged. GREEN A WINNER. Hon. Ed. Green will be the winner. Nothing can stop him. From the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States that the satisfaction of being one of the men that will be benefited by the decision. Since Mr. Green's nomination and carrying the largest vote in his district, he will be the winner, to a compromise of the "spowers that be," two will be Republicans and one will be a Democrat. There are three offices in the district for the legislature, since the three men nominated assured.

There is some probability of a literary or dramatic club being organized in the city of Chicago among some of the best ideas in the world. A idea has not taken on a definite plan but it is being considered by several well known young women. Miss Clark, of 38th and Wabash streets, said Sunrise would be fine or some of the women in the women or organize a dramatic or literary club. The idea is a splendid one and nothing could be more diverting than to spend an evening of study of the life and works of men in the world's letters and plays. It would be at least amusing and at the same time profitable. The influence of such an organization could be far-reaching, time a time that would be worth while, that have ability a cast selected, and these popular young people could be philanthropic enough to help such an institution as Provident and other charities. A big-hearted men and women in this city that would lend their assistance in such a movement. During the coming winter evenings, such a club would be delightful and be of some permanent good stock. A club will not stop with the probability, but carry it out to its fullest fruition. LOCATE Mrs. E. D. E.

ADMIRAL EVANS BAR HAR and IQUORY, Me — The statement made by Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, retired, before he left this port for Washington relative to Maine's prohibition laws has caused quite a stir. "Fighting Bob" spent much of the summer here visiting relatives, and his comment on liquor selling is not particularly pleasant. I am somewhat reluctant to say anything about the laws of Maine," he said. "I do not want to talk about the laws of states other than my own without first making a thorough investigation of the liquor business, carefully and as one who is sure of his grounds: I have had more trouble in the discussion than I have got drunk in the ports of Maine that I have had with my men at any other ports in the world. I would rather take my men anywhere in the world than to bring them to Maine. I know that my men on shore liberty would easily find the most impossible and abhorrent dives and there obtain their obnoxious conceptions, worse, much worse, than liquor. It made them not so much drunk as crazy." Last Sunday evening, Motts' Inn was crowded with fashionable people at the regular 6 o'clock dinner.

The Queen City of the West has a new hospital, but Jackson, Col. Jackson was selected from the city, being connected with the department for twenty-five years. He is well versed in police business, especially in the city of Cincinnati, where he serves cities, having served as patrolman, special and detective, a position he was filling at the time he was promoted as a police officer, the police department. As one of our leading detectives had occasion to visit most of the large cities of the country on police business, he was one of the several detectives detained by the police department. Taft. Being a man of noble physique, jovial, big hearted, fearless and a painstaking officer, he has been a conspicuous man, a man of integrity, a nothing marrow or short-sighted about the Colonel. His ever aim has been for the good of the department. He is one member of the police force who has been ever involved in the police department to every member of the department, be white or black. A better qualified man could not have been found, either in or out of the police department. The police of any large city is always of interest to the colored people of that city because they are more liable to that at the hands of a police department than any other. The department has a number of vicious and uncouth Negroes that flock to the large cities. The better element are usually insulted and humiliated through the lack of intelligence of some of the department's officers. His first thought is all niggers look alike to him. The temperament of the heads of the department has been a disciplinarian, not regulating into our city by furnishing information to the chief or his subordinates of this city can do more and should do more than any one else to assist our new chief in his duties. The department has been into our city by furnishing information to the chief or his subordinates of all known criminals hiding in our city who insist upon vicious acts of crime or city crimes. The department is better known by the name of Billy Jackson. There is not a colored man, woman or child who has lived in this city any length of time.

RECOGNITION FOR THE NEGRO RECOGNITION FOR THE NEGRO The President Gives Assurance of Better Recognition. Special to THE FREEMAN. BEVERLY, Mass., Oct. 6,—President Taft, following his program to take up in orderly fashion the many and varied problems that require attention at his hands as president of all the people, held a conference at Beverly yesterday, by appointment, with a group of Negro leaders, out of which, doubtless, will come some important and far-reaching results. Emmett J. Scott, secretary to Booker T. Washington; Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the Second district of New York, and James A. Cobb, assistant U. S. district attorney, Washington, D. C., were the president's visitors. The president expressed himself as appreciating general conditions as they exist among the colored people as explained by his visitors, and announces himself as being in hearty sympathy with the suggestion that some encouragement be given to them along the lines suggested in his inaugural address—the "recognition of their distinguished men; any appointment to office from among their number is properly taken as an encouragement and an appreciation of their progress." Some appointments out of the ordinary class of places bestowed upon colored citizens are likely soon to be made. This will mark a new era in the progress of the colored people, and be a distinct advance over political conditions of the past. The conference is said to have been marked with great cordiality and yet with very great frankness on both sides. The president's assurances are said to have led his visitors to take a most hopeful view of the policies to be pursued in the future with regard to the Negro people. RACE NEWS.

Each $1.00 box contains seventy-five of these tablets, enough for one adult, and a full box without a penny in advance, so that you can try it and learn what it is, so you can learn how easy and simple it is to take, so you can learn how it works in the body, how it cures stubborn diseases by helping nature to tone every organ of the body. The composition of Bodi-Tone is not secret. Every one of the many valuable ingredients used to make this splendid remedy are well known to all doctors of all schools; each has a well known and thoroughly established place in the realm of medicine and is regularly prescribed by all physicians. Each ingredient is named and fully described in the Bodi-Tone book, which tells all about Bodi-Tone and is sent free to the nurse, the nursing and know it is good and safe. Among the ingredients which compose Bodi-Tone are Iron, to give life and energy to the Blood, Sarsaparilla to purify it, Phosphate to nourish the Nerves, Lithium for the Kid, Vitamin C to boost the immune system, Oregon Grape Root for the Liver, Cascara, which restores tone to the Bowels and intestines, and Peruvian Chili to restore health in the digestive system, to restore health in the body, each serves to build upon the others work, each one helps. We claim no credit for discovering the ingredients in Bodi-Tone, each of which has its own well-deserved place in the history of medicine, world and all of which are recommended by the best modern medical writers and teachers. Many are prescribed regularly by the medical profession for diseases in which we recommend Bodi-Tone, most of them have been successfully used separately or in combination with other medicines for the same diseases, but the exact combination found in Bodi-Tone is peculiar to Bodi-Tone alone and gives Bodi-Tone a curative and restorative power peculiar to itself, that has brought health to thousands during the past years. We have invented, for the way in which these valuable ingredients are combined, for the proportions used, for the curative force which thousands have found in Bodi-Tone medicines. That is why we want to send a box on trial to you immediately, as soon as you write for it, for Bodi-Ton Agents Wanted For Johnson's History of the New and Light Ahead for the New better books for stimulating race pride and progress or taining to the old and stimulating to the young.

W For Treasurer of Marion County, VOTE FOR If the Sheriff's Office, as now Administered, suits you Democratic Candidate for Sheriff of Marion County Election November 8,1910. Under Mr. Woessner's management of the office of sheriff during the past year, it has cost the county $13,906 $80 less than it did under his predecessor's first year in office. A nice saving to the taxpayers. He is the first sheriff in the history of Marion county that has collected and turned into the treasury more Sheriff's Fees than his salary amounted to. A good thing to think about. He is the first Sheriff in the history of Marion county that has had conduct regular Sunday religious services in the jail for the benefit of the prisoners. If you are in favor of a continuation of the present policies and management of the Sheriff's office, vote for Mr. Woesner. we know you will find it different and superior. Though most of the ingredients used in it are familiar to the common people, and are remedies which they, as well as the people, place fullest confidence and know they can safely use them. Bodi-Tone is right all through. from the first to the last ingredient, a remedy that knows its work in the body and does it right. It knows how to treat the body and does it right. It remedy that all the family, young and old, can use. It contains no narcotic or habit-forming drugs, it contains no ingredient that is your family doctor will not tolerate, it is your food poisoning. It does not kill pain with optum or morphine. It does not excite the body with alcohol, but it tones the body and cures it with the remedies that nature intended to do and that nature does not have been given them. They have work to do and do it. Bodi-Tone offers its valuable services to you right now, right from this page. If you are sick, if you are hurt, if you are ill, if you are acting as they should, if your body is not in right, natural and normal tone. This is what Bodi-Tone is for—to help nature restore tone to the body, to restore health, vigor, vitality and strength. If there is anything wrong with your Kidneys, Bodi-Tone helps to restore tone to the Kidneys, helps to set them right. If there is anything wrong with your Stomach, it helps to restore tone to the Stomach, helps to set the wrong right. If there is anything wrong with your Nerves, your Blood, your Liver, your Bowels or your General System, the ingredients in Bodi-Tone, which are essential for the proper functioning of parts, go right to work and keep on working day after, exerting a well-understood, demeaned action that produces curative results of the kind sufferers appreciate. If you have Rheumatism, Bodi-Tone, a condition that causes pain from the system while it restores tone to the Kidneys, Stomach and Blood, thereby exerting a continual antirheumatic effect which makes it hard for rheumatism to obtain or retain a foothold in the system. Bodi-Tone is especially valuable for various Female Ailments, for its toning properties are especially valuable in such ailments. Bodi-Tone is especially urged for all chronic sufferers who have rheumatism, and for those without getting the relief and permanent benefit desired. If your local doctor is doing you no real good, if you have given him a real and honest chance to do what he can and the medical combinations he has used, you will be able to enjoy old-time remedies a chance to show what it can do. Don't Put It Off Don't Put It Off Their experiences have proven beyond a shadow of doubt that the Bodi-Tone plan of toning all the body is a right choice. The Bodi-Tone plan is a real aid to nature. How Bodi-Tone has acted in these cases is best shown by the letters of praise received from former sufferers. Every day's mail is received from people like wild-fire, because Bodi-Tone is doing the work and proving its superiority over common remedies. Many who have for years been in poor health and have tried Bodi-Tone have been able to one single box of Bodi-Tone did more good than all the others combined. Hundreds of others have written letters to Bodi-Tone asking for help or failed. The following letters are but a sample of the thousands we receive read them and judge for yourself. ```markdown ``` ALVORD, TEXAS. I had Heart trouble, Indigestion and Bowel trouble. In fact, I was all out of shares and fact, I was all out of shape and was so nervous that I could not find a way to get any length of time. I had justly given up hopes of ever getting any better when I happened to read an advertisement about a new product that was most prestigious and straightforward than decided to make one more effort to get health, and I am very thankful that I did so. I am grateful to our lars for patient medicines and doctor bills without any permanent benefit, but since using Bodi-Tone I feel better and more confident than for twelve years, as it has been that long since I was first was so nervous that I could not even have one phone for any length of time. I had just been given up hopes of ever getting any better when I happened to be a work advertisement about Bodi-Tone to advertise to a respected est and straightforward that I decided to make one more difficult than I am. I very thankful that I did so. have paid out hundreds of dollars for patent medicines and other permanent benefit, though any permanent Bodi-Tone I feel better and stouter and more like a man than for five years, as it has been that long. I have taken sick. It has had a good effect all over my body for I have had a remarkable improvement in the condition of my Heart, Stomach, Bowels and Nerves. I have been able to work to work with renewed energy and vigor. My health was very bad for me and also a bad cough which both bothered and worried me and also a bad cough which varied our remedies, but the seem to reach my trouble, and I was very weak when I began to work in 1990. I happened to about it in my paper and sent for a box to try. Before I had told me I was gaining strength and knew that I had found the right medicine at last. I used it all the time, and I tell I was gaining strength and all, and was soon able to do all of my own work, and could walk three miles a day without any trouble, and I ended my entire body, for I have Bodi-Tone had a worried me a trial deal, and I tried her remedies, but they did not seem to reach my trouble, and I was very weak when I began to work with her in the Spring of 1990. I happened to talk about it in my paper and sent for a box to try. Before I had taken the first box I could tell I was gaining strength, and knew that I had found the right medicine at last. I used it all summer, about four boxes in all, and was soon able to do all of my work and could walk three miles a day without stopping to rest. It strengthened my entire body, for I have not had as much as a body before, and my periods were not regular, but since I began taking Bodi-Tone they are perfectly regular and I feel altogether like another person. Mrs. James Souther, Powell, PA.—I think a great deal of Bodi-Tone, for it curved my depression, and I used me any permanent good. I had taken a well known dyspepsia powder that helped me just while I took it. I had to go to the dyspepsia remedies which got at the druggist. Then he ofd a medicine in Syracuse, a place where I had a dyspepsia biscuit. I got three one dollar packages, but they did not do me much good. How did Bodhi-Tesse be offered on trial, and sent for a box to test it. It helped me right from the start and made it happen. I heard of. I thought the dyspepsia would come right back known dyspepsia powder that helped with it toilet and I used various kinds of dyspepsia remedies which I got from the hospital in my hairdress of a medicine in my scrape, a sort of food that they called a dyspepsia biscuit. I got three one dollar packages, bringing to me 20 million good. A short time later I heard how Bodi-Tone was being offered and sent a box to test it. It helped me right from the start and beat anything I have ever heard of. I thought the dyspepsia would count back on me, but it never has. I can now eat anything and what is more, I have not had any Rheumatism since I was born, although before that, I had frequent bad attacks. My general health has been very good.

Judging by the applause Mr. Tom ‘Taggart received last Saturday night, the folks hadn't seen him for some time, Judge Pritchard is seen about in spots, He also hopes to be remem- bered at the polls. The judge is rather @ pleasing character. If Jack Johnson just must risk his precious carcass in an automobile race, let him go on and do it.

Nothing in local pol- ities that will prevent the individual Yoting his mind. ' Joseph T. Markey, the candidate for criminal judge, is about among the boys, with the view of getting a little boost. Mr. Markey is well liked, and is said to be making some votes. All the pure ones, all the bright ones —well, all the big ones, anyhow, have been with us in the last few days, and talked to us. Here they are: Senator Beveridge, Governor Marshall, ex-Pres- ident Roosevelt, Alton B. Parker and William Jennings Bryan. Was there ever such an array? Some top-noteh- ers are yet to follow, such as Kern, Watson—regular oratorical_ whirl- ale ae INSULT ADDED TO INJURY. And to add insult to injury, Rev. Dr Charles H. Moosell, of Baltimore, wa: arrested and held until $500 had been given for refusing to pay $3.00 for a 85-cent lunch—a crab and a cup of cof fee. Fraud was charged, from whict he was freed by the decision of the court. To be merely freed doesn't sound very much like justice. Perhaps w« at this distance fail to see the whole situation, but it appears to us that Dr Moosell is to understand that he is ex tremely fortunate in getting off so well And he is, if the sentiment of that com munity supports a man for contending in court for excessive charges, A GOOD APPOINTMENT. No appointment of colored men ir recent years has been so satisfactor} as that of P. B. S. Pinchback, one tim: Governor of Louisiana. We take the liberty to make the statement on be half of most of those who know any thing about the circumstances, Pinchback belongs to the old regime but at no time has he stepped ont o the traces. He served his State ir various capacities, in the sixties and seventies, and possibly later, winding up with a United States senatorship which place he never filled, owing tc complications of the day. In the more recent years he has hel¢ no important offices, perhaps none ai all worthy the mention, notwithstand ing his continued activity on behalf of the party. His present position, w« understand, is a $3,500 place in the revenue department, with headquarter: in New York. EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IN IN DIANAPOLIS. Ex-President Roosevelt, in his speech last week, let fall many terse, crisp expressions, plainly put, to the delight of his immense audience. Owing to his personality, which, to say the least, is strangely “infatuat- ing.” what he had to say was eagerly anticipated. He talked freely, fulsome- ly, but studiously avoided those things which would compromise his candi- dacy or that of Senator Beveridge, since they are not exactly in harmony on the tariff question. Mr. Roosevelt found quite enough to talk about other than the tariff ques- tion, with its dubious aspects. His new nationalism was the theme. He contended for honesty’ in politics, in- sisting that the time of the political rook was up, so far as it concerned himself, and that it would be among aa tied feed le iets re. Mr. Roosevelt injected vigor into his old moralities, enunciated so often when he was in the White House; was ‘opposed, as usual, to the gigantic in- terests that thrive off of the unwilling toll exacted of smaller interests. Pa- triotism came in for a great share of consideration, also common sense in all affairs that concern the people. THE NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE. The National Independence League, which met at Washington, D. C., a few days ago, took an avowed stand against Roosevelt and his policies and opposition to his friends and followers running for national or state offices. It was decided to send delegates and organizers into the various States to mold the sentiment of the Negro vot ers along these lines. The following candidates were indorsed: Harmon, for Governor of Ohio, and all Republican candidates for the leg- islature and Congress not unfriendly to Foraker in the last campaign. Woodrow Wilson for Governor of New Jersey, and the Republican con: gressional and legislative candidates. * Straight Republican ticket in Dela. ware and West Virginia. Dix in New York, and all opponents of Roosevelt candidates, whether State or congressional. To support all members of the legis lature in Connecticut favorable to Sen ator Bulkeley. In Massachusetts, to oppose all mem- bers of the legislature favorable to Senator Lodge. Legislation 1s Sought. The league has decided to submit re- quests for legislation on the following five matters to candidates for congres- sional and State offices: Enforcement of the Constitution to stop disfranchisement and peonage, passage of an anti-jim crow law, na- tional aid to education, with same op- portunities to all children, national legislation against lynching and mob law, restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. HON. ALTON B. PARKER SPEAKS. As an offset to the Roosevelt dem- onstration the Democrats rallied in great force at the name of Alton B. Parker, who spoke at Tomlinson Hall last Saturday night. The capacious hall was filled to overflowing; the en- thusiasm was great, without the ele- ment of force in it. More than likely the meeting was in the tail end of the Roosevelt enthusiasm. At any rate, the applause was spontaneous, vigor- ous and generous in the distribution. When the well-known Thomas Tag- gart arose it was the signal for loud and continued hand-clapping _and cheering. The old veteran must have been touched by the incident. If one were inclined to think the erstwhile idol had lost his place in the affections of his party, he would have found out better. It was a pretty sight. It was an affectionate testimony; they called out his name, his familiar name—Tom. And Tom responded as best he could, but the wonder is that he could talk at all. Mr, Taggart introduced the distin- guished New Yorker, who was re- ceived with the vigorous enthusiasm that marked the occasion. Mr. Par- ker, as far as the audience was con- cerned, was a success from the very beginning. He begun in a quiet, dig- nified manner, warming up somewhat as he proceeded. At no time did he become very demonstrative, but when he did show a little more spirit it was very effective, owing to his rather quiet way of speaking. He was pleas- ingly quiet; charm and dignity attend- ed his well-modulated - utterances, which appeared without effort and were heard “with comfort.” His words were well chosen, coming without hes- {tation at any time, although he spoke without manuscript. He was persua- sive, seeming to speak his heart— delivering a message of cheer rather than a campaign speech for the pur- pose of soliciting votes. Mr. Parker paid his respects to the Colonel, as he facetiously called him, in that same quiet, interesting. way, permitting the audience to guess out some of his conclusions. He scored fon the Colone Iwhen he referred to Mr. Roosevelt's determination to get lid of the political crooks. Mr. Par- ker was of the opinion that they were 'Mr. Roosevelt's crooks, if any at all, since the Democratic party had had no opportunity to produce any in re- cent years. Then, again, he thought the Republicans had had plenty of time to do all the things they now pro- pose to do. He covered the ground carefully, and was a positive help to the Democracy at the important junc- coat HOW WILL YOU VOTE? A few more weeks, and then the vot. ing time. The candidate is busy talk: ing about his merits and usefulness, with the view of having the voter re. \member him when behind the little curtains on election day. The colored voters are being rounded up as usual, with the hope that the good old 7,000 will do their marking on the right ticket. This right ticket, according to the past, has been the Republican ticket, ‘True enough, every one of the thousands of Negro votes has not gone to the Republican party, but the Vast majority has, thus insuring the return of Republicans to the various offices. There have been reasons for the casting of this vast vote for the Re- publican party; they no longer exist. On the other hand, reasons do exist for breaking up this vote, casting it for individuals regardless of party, the ob- ject being to win and hold as many friends as possible, as well as for the greater objects of political endeavor. In local affairs there is no reason why the preference should not be shown the man rather than party. In business matters consideration _ is shown the race by Democrats and Re. publicans. In fact, they all look alike at all other times, men of either party doing their share in furnishing work for the unemployed, regardless of race. Yet, on election day, we, members of the race, take special pride in hitting Democrats hard. The years, however, have been bringing changes. To-day there is greater disposition than ever to forget the past and live in the present day. Colored men are catching the spirit of the age, voting for men and principles, jand not for symbols and signs, what: ever they may have stood for. Vote for a Democrat if he stands for the best in manhood and is as fit for the job as the other fellow, and if he ap. peals to you rather than a Republican. Everything being equal, vote for those who will best conserve your interests, rather than tags or labels. The Republican party is the natural home of the Negroes, but children leave home, and for various reasons. it will not always appeal as it has to those just before this day. Things, jevents, happen from time to time that estrange, and“ men find themselves in other relations and walks of life.

Episcopal Canon Changed to Provide "That Divorced Members of Church Are Hereafter Barred from Marrying, At Cincinnati, O., an amendment to the constitution of the Protestant Bpis- copal Church, calling for the establish- ment of missionary districts along racial lines, was voted down decisively by the House of Deputies at the trien- nial convention of that body in session there. The Negroes have long wanted a bishop of their own, but the vote today was of such a character as to quiet any suggestions along this line that might be made in the near future. The Rev. Joseph Dunn, of the dio- cees of southern Virginia, in speaking against the adoption of the amend- ment, said: “The emancipation of the Negroes was a dire disaster, as the Negro at that very time was in need of all of the teachings and help that could be given to him by his white brother. They lost all of this, and the church has forty-five years of misguid- ance to undo. “The Negroes cannot grasp the idea of the church as yet. Their religion at the present time is mostly emotion- al, and I believe the passage of this amendment would be fatal in regard to the Negroes.” JOSEPH COLLIER FOR JUDGE. Joseph Collier, a highly respected citi- zen and lawyer’ of standing and ability, asks the support of all voters, including the colored ones, for the position of judge of Superior Court, Room 2. | Mr. Collier is a. Democrat. He is against. delayed Justice and says that he will see to it that the business of the office gives what Is due under the law. A FRIEND OF THE COLORED MAN. It is a pleasure for us to commend to the attention of the colored voters of Grant county, Indiana, Mr. E. O. Nelson, who is a candidate for sheriff. Mr. Nels son is at present a farmer, although at one time he was an officer ‘on the police force of the city of Marion. When in that position, and also since then, he has shown himself to be a genuine friend of the colored race by many acts of friend- ship, ‘Mr. Nelson believes that the. colored men are worthy of confidence. In. proof Of this we recall how ina recent talk he referred to, thelr supreme loyalty during the great civil struggle when the nation’s life hung in the balance. He told how the colored ‘man, while protecting the wife and helpless children of his master, would also protect the boys in blue in his eabin from the, savage bloodhounds sent out by the confederate soldiers to capture. them. How the colored man would feed the sol dier_ and gu'de him ‘after nightfall. to Wlaces of Safety and escape. No other race, Mr. Nelson says, ever displayed such noble clisacteristics.” “Truly the colored Yoters of Grant county should lend Mr. Nelson their iniuence and give him their Vores. He was a friend before he was a candidate and is certainly no less a friend now. Help him out, boys. DON’T BE SICK.

To the Public: I wish to show something of my ideas at a stage work, and to speak incidentally to a kind of work. I wish to speak also with special reference to colored theaters. I never had an engagement in a colored theater. This first engagement was at Mott's Peekin Theater. You may rest assured that much of the work was done with puppets. TPC how the patrons would take my act. I was given position 5, which came between two very strong acts, the four "Singing Callies" and the four "Dixons," all headlined by the Dixons and I worked together on the United big time, five years ago. But back to my Pekin engagement. Well, I succeeded from the first night, my act proving a treat, so satisfactory was the audience I received in engagement with Frank L. Doyle, playing at Louisville three weeks, Cincinnati two weeks, and then again at the Pekin, August. My act, to my surprise, went bigger than that. In my second engagement at the Pekin, however, I had new songs and a new talking part. These things, you know, always help. During this two weeks' engagement a letter came offering me good advice, and I accepted the offer, and I am pleased to say that I never worked before a better audience in my life. The managers thanked me corporeally for the work done, and offered me two more weeks' engagement at any time that I cared to work. I agree with some writers who maintain that many of the colored managers do as they should. In many instances they try to ac tlkle their masters, as it cone nts performers, not thinking once it is the performer that is making their living. As for myself, I must say that I have been taught in great kindness by most of the managers, the Pekin, in Cincinnati, is among the prince of them. He meets you with a smile and his hand when you go to the office and his use. "Bye," the same way, with a "come back" singer, Sidney Coleman, set the patrons on the Globe Theater wild. She is rendering a concert for him, brated cong hops. "To the End of the World With You." Miss Mary Bradford are still with us. The bunch sends regular everybody in and out of the profession.

Rodgers is quite a favorite in Galveston. Mr. Joe Morton and Miss Laura Logan, sketch team, was good. Now comes the young comedian in his talking turn and singing "No, I Am Not the Man" takes the house by storm. His act is a scream, and he is very funny. He, llamas, traps.

Allen's Troubadours opened their engagement at Columbia, Tenn., for one week, beginning Monday night, October 17. They had packed houses. The S. T. O. sign was hung out on the front from start to finish. Each and every member of the company was applauded and encored at each and every song and act. They all say that Allen's Troubadours are wonderful company playing this section of the country. All of their acts—songs, music, jokes and costumes—are new and up-to-date, and much different from the others. They are the only company her particular line. The company has been together so long that they know and understand each other. They know how to work and sing together. Everything they do is based on each and every member of the company has played the different parts over and over again in every one of Mr. Allen's big acts and shows—his big opening, ollos and afterpieces, and his big string pieces, each with music and costumes for each one. Every one knows and understands his or her place in each one of these forty-two different shows. They are strong performers and are always on stage or opera house, a drawing card and money getter. After finishing this 一 soon." Would to God we had more of Ollie Dempseys, the drummer, is one of his class; treats all colored performers the same. He knows how to get the people and keeps them. He pays the money promptly and promptly. Mr. Bramon, I think, is the coming colored theatrical manager. I hope so, at any rate, will him all the luck he can get with his orchestra. He will be sure to have if he keeps up the good work, assisted as he is by Mr. Swainman and his grand orchestra, but success, as I see it, can come out of it. To my friends in the profession: We are short-sighted, seeing scarcely beyond our noses. We will to look ahead far beyond the eyes, the way we do not stop to think of what the public wants; do not try to please it at all times, preferring to do what pleases us best. Friends, dig up novelties and do not take the time to do some one else, and you will surely like the people. Don't go from show to show and try to do what you see them do. Use your own ideas, and you will go but I myself, I try to get songs and make them popular, and when they get to be a chestnut I drop them. I will never sing a song, I have heard sung, I get the fresh from the pop album, and other thing, friends: stop knocking the ones that are making good; have no time to talk; try and do the same. Make good a dress act, why, dress it if it you have the time act, give them the character; find out what the people want and give it to them; that's all. I could write a book too, and I can seek if I had the time. I shall tell you of my experience in the show business some day. A few more words in regard to the press. We, as performers, agree that the managers would do a better business if they could be the covered papers, such as the Freeman theatrical journal, and other race publications. The people see these papers, hence it is simply a business move to advertise in them. The papers can help you much; they can knock hard that they should be thought more of. With the greatest respect for Messrs. Dempsey, Brannon, Seals, Cox, Harding and Mott: MADCH PAULINE DEMPSEY. AT THE CHICAGO THEATERS. "The Census Taker," at the Pekin, by Jerry Mills. Makes Good. BY CARY B. LEWIS. (Bureau 2393 State Street.) Special to THE FREEMAN. Chicago, ill., October 19. CHICAGO, BENN. For forty-five minutes of delightful entertainment, "The Census Taker" at the Pekin was a bit of musical comedy worth seeing. Not because there was anything so pretentious; but because it was mu-mu and humorous. The act was from the pen of Jerry Mills, he taking the leading part. The music of Mr. Sam Stewart, a young composer of Columbus, Ohio, was introduced for the first time in Chicago and was appreciated; it went big and the audience gave each number tons of applause. It was the opening chorus that gave evidence that more tuneful numbers were to follow. The story of the act was that Miss Windord, a young Miss of sixteen years of age, had been left a handsome sum of money by the death of her father. She was left in charge of her uncle and was given the money until she becomes a girl or marries. Mr. Jones, a census taker and a bright and handsome young fellow, yet a fakir, came the house up a scheme to census, Mrs. Winston and Mr. Jones receive $100 down. The uncle is told of the marriage which was said to take and he asks or licenses. Things like the marriage and Jones produces what he thought was the license, but was a letter that he was wanted for theft. There is a scream for Mrs. Winston and she invites and dashing Miss Winston shields Jones and finally secures the uncle who is a constable to perform the marriage. The uncle invites and dances and a finale by Mr. Stewart that was well received. During the act the Boston Society Girl" was a number of the chorus girls in applause, for the chorus girls were handsomely dressed and sang beautifully. Goldie Crobsy sang "Lovie Joe" and it was a wonderful performance for she did not imitate; she does not have to. She was backed up by a dashing, dandy chorus, with Miss Marguerite taking a eyes of the audience with her work. "Every Little Star is a Pickanninny in the Moon" was Miss Famille Wise's solo, tricky, but Miss Wise sang the number not only to the satisfaction of Mr. Stewart, the composer, but to the entire audience, judging from the applause. Silk Man, the singer, sang *Song Chate Mandy* and with Miss Crosby danced and then danced some more. Tom Brown, as the uncle, was a splendid man, dignified and honorable, yet wishing to have charge of his niece's money as long as possible. *Goldie Crosby* was the house girl and Sid Perrin, the hired man, dignified and honorable, yet wishing to have charge of the fun and plenty of it during the skit. Although she had only a word to say, *Goldie Crosby* was a dainty actress of experience and ability and convincing to all that there will be parts she can take with credit. Every large audience was a splendid test of its appreciation of this kind of amusement and we again say that it can "make good" and it is believed that it can packed houses each evening. Mr. Jesse Shipn is expected to put on his shows on or about the first of the month. It is reliably reported that Mrs. Abbie Mitchel Stock company cast. THE MONOFRAM Jones and Grant, who made their debut at the Pekin last week and were such a hit, appeared at the Grand on Monday night. Although they had been seen at the Pekin last week, they nevertheless appreciated at the small house. Madam Georgia Gomez, late of the "Mr. Loade of Koal" company, was the soprano soloist, the first real good one to perform at the Grand. Abbie Mitchel, "Bartlett's Dream," "O Promise Me" and "The Harbor of Lost Dream," the latter her favorite number, were the selections rendered by the group with "Patient of Mine" and "Take Me When You Go." Stewart and Grundy, with Stewart singing "If He Comes In, I'm Going Out" and Grief He Comes In, were some respects it was not as heavy as the previous week, which will be shown later in the week by the attendance. Some of the white managers have a way of "putting it over for the colored actors, but on Monday they went into to shelve The Harper-Smith Trio up several notches on the program at the American Music Hall. Chris Smith, a young song writer and his trio was sixth on the program at the American. At the Monday's performance they were a scream. There was a kick registered among some of the students, to third place. Their act is a refined talking and singing one and it required a time when the house was still. The act, as we said, went big, one on one, to the house. Then came the cry that they must appear third on the bill. They would not stand for it and walked out. These young men did not do this. If they will do it to one they (white managers) will do it to others of the race. They set a good example, and do this. If they will do it to one they (white managers) will do it to others of the race. We recall that this same Chris Smith is the composer of the following songs: "Good Morning, Carrie," "Jasper Johnson, Shame on You, on a Cake," "Right Church, But the Wrong Pew," "Big Cry Baby in the Moon," "Rubbernecking Cheney's Expectorant—a quick relief for Coughs, Colds and Grippes.

THE GRAND The architects seem to be getting a move on them at the new Grand. It looks fine if they will be a month or so and it will be finished. The Grand is still drawing the crowds and Swatman is giving some fine specimens of clairon tennis. The Banana Land Quartette is a hold over. These young men are being received with much applause and it is reliably reported that they will have plenty of the Clippers, who were such a scream last week, singing "Some of These Days," sang the "Grizzly Bear" and "The Little Dog," and being with an Indian act that was very clever, Miss Clipper is a clever little soubrette, and they both make a splendid little team. The Kolared Kandy Kids, rip roaring dancers and a dancer with a very clever ny. They are Phil White, Shad Plenty and Miss Mayme Selly, Miss Selly being dainty and a good dancer. They wear a white dress and Henderson dance and sing, the numbers being "Stop that Scorching the Hand" and "Sleep Baby Greeted the players on Monday night the crowd on the outside being as large as ever.

LYRE THEATRE LOUISVILLE, KY The bill for the week of October 10, at the Lyre Theater, is keeping pace with the season, and the lice and Goodloe are headliners, and are making them scream in the act, "A Real Husband." Huggins and Berry, in "The Lice," are the best spelled in the rendition of their Indian numbers. Hayden and Vaughn, in "A Soldier's Talk to a War Correspondent," have been seen for some time, and keep their audiences roaring with laughter, completing one of the best bills of the season. They are hard to accommodate its many patrons. "A RABBIT'S FOOT CO." YAZOO CITY, MISS We played to a packed house—in the neighborhood of 1,700 people—under our new tent, which cost $800. The "Florida Blossoms" made their appearance here, and we were invited to join on our business in the least: seemed to increase it, if anything. Lloyd James London, our spiker, has a way of appealing to the crowd, and we don't fail to give them satisfaction. Edward Neeley opens the first part, singing the coon song entitled, "Ada, My Sweet Potatoe": Beatrice Mitchell is singing to the Men's Choir, who are the crowd, and we don't fail to give them satisfaction.

Wrothy at the Brain Thieves—A Note of Warning. Notice to the Managers of the Southern Noyland, and Steck, Houses: I take this method to warn you against the brain thieves, calling themselves performers, who work under a producer in a number of his shows. On closing, they produce the same without his consent, leaving the impression with the manager that they are the author and producer of the good work of good men. I have produced the following shows at the Pekin Theater, Savannah, Ga. also the Globe Theater, New York, and a Mke-Bellevue, "In Hell for Twenty Minutes," "Jasper's Dream of the Devil," "More Money than Sense," "A Prince for a Day," a Darktown Duel, "Aaming a Wife," a Darktown Duel, "The To Be Burned at the Stake," "The Bloomer Girl's Picnic," "A Darktown Picnic," "The Marriage Vow Breaker," "When the Jong Sounded," "The Lady Jong Sounded," "The Caterator," by Salem-Tutt Whitney, by special permission), "Outdone at the Last," and a few others. I also have a new play produced shortly. Should I learn of any of my shows, that are copyrighted under the 1910 copyright law, either in whole or in part be used in the play, because I am sure he would refuse to give it to me. This is not intended for the "honkaton" show manager of such houses see, because I am Van Winkle, in the same light as "Uncle Tom's Cabin." TIM OWLESY. THE SAVOY THEATRE MEMPHIS, TENN Well, after an absence of our write-up for two or three weeks, I thought I would let the profession know how we are getting educated and how we are changing in our company soon. Miss Estelle Harris is with us yet and as popular as ever. Miss Laura Smith left us last week for a twelve weeks' engagement with the Barrasso company Freemans, George, Dave and Leonard, are receiving their old-time applause. We also have the famous Billy Mills with us, and he is very popular with Memphis people. We also have a young comedian by the name of Dave Perdue, who comes highly recommended. Miss Bessie Smith is with us yet, and is quite a darter. Miss Slim Henderson, Miss Kate Fisher and Billy Earthquake, are due in the first part of this week, and promise the Memphis people now in shows producing high-class new shows by the Barrasso VR-State Circuit is about complete now, and everything seems to be running smoothly. We are using some very high-class acts now. The Southern theater is going to be educated up to it every day. The bunch sends regards to all of the profession and will be glad to hear from them at any time. Regards to the Merry Howards, to the rest of Barrasso's companies en tour. MACEO THEATRE CHARLESTON. S. C. The Way It Is Doing In New York. Not every act before the public will receive this close scrutiny, merciless and cold-blooded as it may be. Looking over one of these acts, you see that it is an act which is the tabulated happenings at one theater, the team of Cole and Johnson is noted. Now, most of us are CHE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. willing to swear away beforehand that team would be way up in the “Winners at a Glance” class. “Nope, taint!” there, they are entered all right in the green field, in the free-earl list. Furthermore, in the getaway they were put down as “slow,” one of the ugliest marks of the scheme. They seemingly warmed up as they “ran, being the last in the field,” but was no particular distinction, since most of the acts were put down as having a good ending. One white act, however, got a never-to-be-forgotten dab; it began with a knee and accounted for Johnson only got a chance to bow twice, while five times was the rule. Fiddler and Shelton were at another theater, numba, where they gave a account of the act. I should have said that the “Winners at a Glance” class was further classified by those running “dead heats” or where they ran neck and neck or anything else, home wore out. Well, rigidier and shelton are two Simon-pure Indianapolis boys, not recent importations, and in that class of the utmost importance. They were only colored team of eight acts. It broke even with the top-notch. Oh, you Indianapolis! They say comparisons are odious. Oh, yes; it depends on who is getting the best. It depends on who Hoosier boys started good according to the classification and ended good. Their position—2; name of act, “The Colored Entertainer,” made five boys—regular bib-tribeoes. It is in that manner that Hoosier boys started good according to the classification and ended good. Their position—2; name of act, “The Colored Entertainer,” made five boys—regular bib-tribeoes. It is in that manner that Hoosier boys started good according to the classification and ended good. It is not at all probable. More than likely it set down nothing in malice nor naught extenuated. The friends of Cole and垒尔 will all have fared so badly, since both of the members are capable actors. And as for Bob Cole, he is the best “legit” comedian known to the race. Johnson does the finished part, doing a finer bushless than the first. The Fiddler and Shelton act is beautifully framed. I tried hard to convince say occasional bearers the fact after having had the grand opening in this city, Indianapolis, a few seasons ago. I said it was one of the prettiest things done on the stage. Not a difficult task, but the fact is that Shelton only recently learned to sing having ghad no more music in him before than a jaybird. Shelton sang a passable baritone, played some piano. He had a great voice and effects together for the best front. Their success is that, and nothing more. They have taken their mediocre talents and put them together in such a way that the effect is that they are this unison, then, is the result of subtle stagecraft along their line displayed by the clever Shelton, an alchemist of the gold that he has transmitted to pure gold, ordinary materials they held in common. BILLY. Since writing the above we are sorry, indeed, to note that Bob Cole has become a prime star, and was to withdraw the article from publication, but on reflection concluded that no wrong on our part had been done to him. We have mended him as the very best in his line. The lines in which he had fallen, from a prime favorite to merely an occupier of a space on a program, doubtless wore that admirable company was another thing; he evidently felt crowded down, cribbed and confined, and then grilled by to the poor fellow off. We hope for his speedy recovery; that he will be reinstalled in his high place by a master lander; that he stay fixed in his position, and the reason of his old age to the hope beyond. B. RUBY THEATER, GALVESTON, TEXAS. Our show is still playing to good business. Buddie Glenn, the old favorite comedian and funmaker, is keeping the people amused. Miss Virginia Crawford, the coon snout street fighter, drives the house. Mr. Joe Norton, with his funny savings, keeps the audience laughing all the time. Miss Laura Logan, the winsome sonbette, does fine in his comedy. With him with us, Buddie Helm made his appearance Thursday and was well received. Miss Lelia Duson, the pianist, is playing in fine style. Mr. Albert Lewis, our operator, is exhibiting some fine moving pictures. The manager, everything in his power to give his patrons something good in the way of amusement. BLACK PATTI'S MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY. Nothing but screams of laughter and I-told-you-so's are left in the trail of the company, and return engagements are of great interest. We booking they are forced to be given up by the management. Mrs. Emma Prince left us at Shreveport, La., on account of illness. She has some to reside permanent in the city, but Hot Springs, Ark., for a short stay at Marshall, Tex., thence to St. Louis, their home, in order to be with their family, and Mrs. Hunter the most lovable dispositions, and were idolized by every member of the company. Their absence from the company will be very conspicuous all season. Their travel to New Orleans, joined us at Shreveport, Mr. Tom Mowr, representative of the Kersand's Minstrels, also Mr. Nye, under the management of Mr. R. Voelckel, spent a few days with in Oklahoma and Texas, and were loath to leave our pleasant surroundings. In While Hot Springs the many friends of Douglas Allen were more than glad to meet Mr. Voelckel, and he ball. He sends regards to all his friends. Miss Nellie Cisco, of Gravesend, Coney Island, one of the members of this company, received the sad news from her sister, who was also the older sister had died in New York. She had been suffering with consumption for some time, yet her death was quite a shock to her sister. She has the sympathy of the entire community. At Shreveport the theater was packed from pit to dome by whites as well as colored, and from the interest evinced, this show stands out alone in its peculiar and finished line of entertainment. The audience ended the season with the highest average on record. The percentage was 1000. No games lost, no games won. Since we have struck a cooler zone, the attendance is also expected to be expected, and we seem to be coming to the fore among all the members.

In the Field of Sport. THEY MAKE BIG MONEY. Prize Fighters Pick Up Fortune in a Day. "Prime fighters are better paid for the actual time they are at work than any other people on earth," said the veteran sporting man. "They're the night the night. Why, look at this fellow Tommy Burns, cleaning up some $200,000 or couple of years!" Show me some grand opera singer, you college professor who can watch if you college down you'll find that Burns got a little $500 for every minute he spent in the ring. That didn't matter to pug at a gala. Did you ever hear of a gala opera star getting $30,000 for a or a burn performance, as Burns did for putting up a very poor fight with Johnson? "Look at the gate money, $150,-600. How's that for Australia? John L. Sullivan was the first fighter in the history of pugilism. How much money John got at least $1,000 for every minute he fought with Tug Wilson at old Madison Square Garden, more than two years ago. How much more if the gate money been in good hands. The rounds were cut almost in half in order to save Wilson, so take it altogether, John did about ten minutes real fighting and re- career. "There's no use talking, but Sullivan was the greatest money getter the ring ever produced," he said. "And he blew it like a drunken man. I remember when he came back from winning the Kilrain fight he had about $18,000 left. He then eased up by surrendering to the officials the day he gave up several thousands of dollars to square himself. These coppers thought he had a million or so in his vest pocket, and then he put it to the big fellow who am outrage. "If there's one place John L. doesn't care for it's a place he would have given to a winnerman who wins rather than days in the cooler. "Sullivan was flat broke a month after winning a big championship fight. Then, to make matters worse, he was responsible theatre manager about this time thought he a chance to get some money with the champion, and so tried to induce John to spar there. He was a Squire Garden with anybody, even sullivan's sparring partner, Joe Lannon, but John positively refused, although the theoretical manager, John, could not understand how he could refuse such a generous offer when he was stone broke, without a dollar to his name. I asked him one time, after he had down the $10,000. At first he declined to talk about it, but after a white he said that he was under certain obligations to his backers and others, and that he would not want to share themselves in on the deal, so that his share would be cut to about $2,000. Sullivan was a bit sore on some of his supposed friends, so he did not want to money out of his reputation. "Sullivan to-day is a different man, my friends. He hasn't tasted a drop of liquor for the last four years, and attends strately to business. John has predeceased him at $100 a cash cut, but where nobody can get it. He swears he'll never drink another drop as long as he lives. He wants to run his bank roll up to $200,000, and then quit the stage for a stock farm. I want to buy a house in his cold sober senses, is a very wise guy. Nobody can fool him in a business deal, and he has no use nowadays for the fellows he formerly knocked around with. In fact, he's turned them all down. It's a pity John didn't swear off twenty-five years ago, a pot of money he would have bad now." "There's been a lot of coin in fighting in this country, and after certain States get wise so that the game can get better, but not interference there'll be a whole lot more. The old California A. C. started the boxing club game first, it went years ago, and it was a tough one. It officials began to give phony decisions for the purpose of beating fighters, out of which Jim Corbett fought Peter Jackson at that club for a $10,000 purse. The referee, Hiram Cook, stopped the battle in the six-match contest, declaring "no mistest." There was no long wrangle over the unjust decision, and the club finally agreed to pay each of the fighters $2,500 instead of $5,000. This affair gave the sporting public soon lost interest in it. "The fighting game then seemed to switch to New Orleans, and the Olympic club in city became so prosperous that the stockholder had many such attractions as the Dempsey-Fitzsimmons, Sullivan-Corbett, McAuliffe-Myer,ixon-Skelly, Fitzsimmons-Creedon, Fitzsimmons-David-Smith and many other important fights. It is said that the Olympic Club opened up about half a million dollars in three years while the game was going on. The stockholder bought in, and the stockholders, having made their pile, retired from the game, while the stockholder boxing club the South dropped on the field. "Along about 1892 John Y. McKane opened up his Coney Island fighting club, was there the first night, and fight was the first night of the fight between Tommy Kelly, the Harlem Spider, and Billy Plimmer, the clever little Englishman, was a pipe or Plimmer, who knocked Kelly out. He thought this was the finest fighting club house in America, with its immense seating capacity. McKane had things all his own, and he had a club about twenty fights, which enabled him and his crowd to clean up $300,000 in less than one year. If McKane had kept out the crowd, the Coney Island club would have made millions. "After McKane had been sent to Sing Sing, the big clubhouse fell into the hands of other men, who pulled off some big jobs, such as the Jeffries-Sharkey, Jeffries orbett, Jeffries-Fitzsimmons, and others, chiefly clubhouse members of Seaside A. C., and the promoters, who were chiefly politicians, grabbed off $290,-00 or more out of these fights. "It was during the life of the Seaside Club that Jack Dempsey was pitted against Tommy Ryan, and a more disgraceful sight I never saw in a prize JOHNSON AND JEFFRIES 1930 Fight pictures, 12 out of the 40 subjects taken at the ring side, July 4th, by Dana & Co.

He couldn't fight at all, but the club simply gave him a chance to gate. Ryan was very merciful and just played with Dempsey until the crowd demanded that the broken-down Nonpareil take off. Then McGath noted fighters who were at the ringside jumped over the ropes and led Dempsey away. It was pitiful, and the club manager should have been pinched for putt-away. Jack had been the one gone both physically and mentally. "The next big club to open around New York was the Broadway A. C, where many faceless celebrities money to Little Tim Sullivan, Tom O'Rourke, the Considines and others. It was at this club that the Dixon-McGovykinski, McCoy-Choynski, Walcott-Creedon, Erne, Gans-Sullivan, Gans-McPadden, McGovern-Gardiner and other mills were decided. Little Tim was the main guy at the big gym at the Real thing at the Lonox A.

LONDON, Eng.—A boxing circuit, covering the British Isles, France and possibly one other continental country, will be held on Saturday according to an announcement yesterday by Jimmy Britt, who is McIntosh's right-hand man. Fighters will play the circuit after the man in London, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and Paris. He has leased the annex of the Olympia in London, and the flight program will be pulled off in December. In Britt's opinion, a future contender against Jack Johnson has been uncovered and the flight program will be first of McIntosh's elimination contests to find "the best white man on earth." Britt says as soon as Wells puts on more weight he will be a wonderful man, he will be more able, the speed of a lightweight, and a knockout punch in either hand." is Britt's bouquet for Wells. His next opponent in the continuation series will be Private Voyles, an Irish fighter, who is considered dangerous. KID STONE OBJECTS Was Not Defeated, He Says, by the Congo Kid. The Wyoming lad is a ring Trojan, has fought nearly all over the globe, seeming to be any one too much about his life. He was born in Jamaica but soon found himself in South Africa, where he blossomed out into a scraper of the Logo transport. The Indiana Kid wasn't hardly strong enough for the little fellow, regardless of the turn of the Logo transport. He is dead game, however, and is willing to be the man from Congo or any other place. Carries $100,000 in London Company- Considered Good Risk. NEW YORK, N. Y.—After being turned down by seven American life insurance companies in his quest for a $75,000 policy, Jack Johnson, the "white hope blaster," was notified by a London company that he had been up to $100,000. The premium demanded by the London company is said to be one of the highest on record. BAN IS PUT ON OLDFIELD A. A. A. Contest Board Acts—Suspends and Disqualifies Speed King for Proposed Race with Jack Johnson—Manager, Too, Is Victim NEW YORK, N. Y. The contest board of the American Automobile Association announced to night the suspension and announcement of the Judge John Lohs announced intention of racing Jack Johnson, the heavyweight pugilist, in an unanswered contest at Sheepshead Bay, on October 14. Oldfield is indifferent to the attitude of the board and says he will race Johnson. The latter, whose license was canceled a few days ago, says he will go to the court and say he will be held in any event. Followers of automobile racing say it means a fight to the death between Oldfield and the A. L. Lohs, and that he will endure the A. L. Lohs of other drivers to question its authority. Ban on Pickens, Too. The contest board, in its statement of suspension, accuses W. H. Pickens, Oldfield's manager, of issuing statements "injurious to the safety of the road" and disqualifies him also as either "manager, promoter, entrant, owner or driver." Both he and Oldfield are directed to show cause why the ruling should not be made per- When the black champion's license was revoked no explanation was forthcoming, but the board, in its statements suspend the license, said that "the entrance in an organized, well-accredited sport of the leading exponent of an unorganized so-called sport which is under the ban in most of the States of the United States, does not necessitate experience in automobile track racing and has as yet to demonstrate his competency as a racing driver." A. B. C.'S TAKE DOUBLE BILL. Defeat T. T.'s in Close Games at Northwestern Park. The A. B. C.'s won a fast double-header yesterday from the T. T.'s, at North THE FREEMAN.

In the first game, Hewes, of the T. T.'s, did not allow anything that looked like a safety until the tent frame, when two hits were scored. Hewes pitched one of the best games seen lately at the park, while Sapho worked for the A. B. C.'s. The second game was just as snappy as the first, with a single hit. While Goebler worked for the T. T.'s, the hitting of Spellman, of the T. T.'s, featured the double-header. Schmidt scored the second T. T.'s, and Merida was on the receiving end in both games for the colored men.
