Washington, the most famous advocate of "common sense education," began a week's tour of the State of North Carolina on Friday, and since the growing prominence of good feeling has been noticeable in to greet the world's most famous advocate of sympathetic interest is in the growing prominence of good feeling. The greatest good feeling has great commonwealth. The newspapers are teeming with long stories of the meetings, and nothing but praise is heard of the remarkable address the "Wizards" gave to the auditoriums and at the various institutions of learning. Mayors of cities, leading business factors, and substantial men and women, are in doing honor to the most unique character the century has produced. North Carolina is ablaze with enthusiasm over the recent success in a more emphatic fashion than ever before, because at no previous period has the attention of the controlling forces of the country been so who so completely mastered the situation. The tour is described as an "educational pilgrimage," and it is rightly named by its promoters, the party seeking to a speechesman, the details seeking a direct supervision of Bishop G. W. Clinton, of the A. M. E. Zilon Church, whose home is the co-operation with the New York Business League, of Mr. John Merrick, of Durham, is president, and Mr. C. C. Spaulding, of the same city, is secretary. The combination is a harmonious outfit marked out with not one blanbance of a hitch. The Itinerary. The pligrimage began at Charlotte on Friday.

The Personnel of the Party Accompanying Dr. Washington is a party of men representing practically every field of social endeavor known to the race and national interest. Dr. Washington, for things worth while, and the contact of the visitors with the "home folks" is acknowledged to be a mutual inspiration.

Avery, his attorney; J. H. Washington, director of industries; C. W. Green, superintendent of agricultural division; Robert R. Taylor, direc-tor mechanical industries.

At Charlotte At Charlotte, in the great Auditorium, Dr. Washington, on Friday evening, addressed a audience, numbering not less than 3,000, half a million, who greeted him has not been duplicated. The State on any similar occasion. Bishop presided and Mayor T. W. Hawkins delivers a speech. Dr. Washington's speech teemed with righteology, race wit, and for an hour and a half he held his hearers literally spell them. I know of no white man that I could have listened to so long on my feet," declared a well-known white citizen, who could not and a seat in the crowded edifice. The Wizard's Purpose in Brief. Beginning his address, Dr. Washington expelled his purpose, in brief: "I came into your mansion" said he, "and that is to see the condition of my people and to observe how we best elevate our citizens and better cement our relationship between the white man and the African in his great and progressive commonwealth." A magnificent banquet at the palatial hall hosted Clinton followed the exercises at the auditorium. Dr. Washington spoke to the Baptist convention in the afternoon and assisted in laying cornerstones of the new Varlck Memorial Chapel. A. M. E. Zlon Church, and also visited Biddle University. At Concord. The party reached Concord early Saturday morning and was escorted to Scotia Seminary by a local committee, headed by Dr. John Fuller. This is one of the best schools for the country and here an elaborate breakfast talk was held, followed in talkin' to encourage vein to the 255 students. At the opera house an immense audience greeted him. Mayor Charles Wagtang invited them to a welcome. Many whites were in the audience and all gave the closest attention. At Salisbury. Sailursb was reached at noon, and the chairman of the local committee, Dr. W. H. Goler, president of Livingstone College, gave a visit, including a visit to the National Cemetery. Dinner was served at the home of Dr. Goler, and then a complete survey of Livingstone College was made. The new $20,000 building, the $12,500 Carnegie Library came in for much admiration. The school now has 200 students, and the boys gave the visitors an exhibition of their military skill. Meroney's visit for a meeting under Negro auspices, was filled, and Dr. Washington was warmly welcomed by Mayor A. L. Smoot, who paid the man and his work to touching tribute as he attended the close of Dr. Washington's speech. Both mayors spoke in the highest terms of the work that is being done at Livingstone, declaring that the inspiration or local help needed to develop the concrete example set by the guest of the hour at Tuskegee. Mr. Boyden's pathetic reference to the deafness to the watchful care these black people had exercised over his loved ones during the terrible civil war, made a deep impression upon all. A quartette sang folk songs and many others obliged with a few major selections. "The white people can beat the Negro at many things—at most things, perhaps," detains the whites cannot beat a Negro at if they live to be a thousand years old; that is in singing a great song, and that is in singing a great song, rather than any one else can sing them, and he should not be ashamed of them. Every race has its own songs and mothers, and they should be bringing out the true meaning and pathos of the songs that cheered his father and mothers in the dark days when these melodies were sung.

Special to THE FREEMAN DENISON, TEXAS, October19.—Charging incompetence in the national grand officers, gross mismanagement of the affairs, and that the national grand lodge "to secure federal political jobs." William F. Biedsoe, recently reelected Grand Master of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. of Texas, paid his respects to the heads of the society, and made plain his intention to attack those on those who caused him so much trouble. For years and years Bledsoe has been grand master of Texas. The other officiating officers have also personal selections for their several offices. With his successive reelection he longed for national recognition and power—and finally he became national treasurer. He was appointed to his personal selections for national grand master against W. A. Gaines the present occupant of that office. With Gaines declared reelected, it is clear that he was not fused to honour official drafts. Then he was declared expelled and he refused to be removed or to turn over the funds. Then three years later, last year at St. Paul, Bledsoe evidence is attached to the suit, which the suit came and with that the fight was brought to Texas and waged by Dr. J. M. Moseley and S. B. Rose, both Gaines adherents. Bledsoe, by one of the most sweeping injunctions over the years from participation in the society; later was arraigned for contempt and while still involved in the legal entanglement reeled from participation in Texas, two grand lodges were held, then a compromise affected, Bledsoe paid over quite a sum of money then in litigation, S. B. Rose was made deputy grand master, two grand lodges—and now Bledsoe is on the warmth. Be it said, under the administration of Bledsoe, the U. B. F. and S. M. T. is the largest and financially the strongest Negro fraternal society in Texas. According to the book, the lodge's financial assets; $62,000 was collected last year, and this showing is compared with the national organization, which, he says, has not distributed a minute in over ten years and whose only role was when W. Grover was national secretary and again when he was treasurer. It is learned that plans now on foot, if unauthorized, in the Texas jurisdiction in the foremost ranks of secret societies of the United States.

That is a most excellent plank for the new nationalism as it concerns the race. Next month Christmas. Commence now. The complaint generally is that we are not ready for it when it comes. Good men on either ticket. Pick them out and vote for them. Become a scratcher, the surest sign of progression. "I am for men."—Henry George, Mr. George was all right. What better political doctrines? Men first; let whatever that will, follow. Long as food soars out of sight all of the philosophy of high wages don't amount to a great deal. The average man wants to feel some of his money after Saturday night. If we vote the 7,000 votes solid, just as well let one man go up and do it, saying, "In the name of the Negroes of the community, I cast these 7,000 votes for the Republican party." Is that slavery? No, we don't want any party to win without being in it. The white people can't lose no matter how it goes; the colored people must get the same way. No one party is entitled to 7,000 votes as a sure thing. Kern or Beveridge? Beveridge or Kern? Not near the difference some predict it will make. We think either good, capable gentlemen, neither one of whom we want to see get the whole of the 7,000 Negro votes of this county. Disfranchisements are racial, not partisan. If partisan in the best sense they would not stand any more show at Washington than a jaybird in —. They would be shot to pieces. Gentlemen, they are racial — white men versus black men. There is no reason at this day for all of the 7,000 colored voters of this community voting for one party. Such doggedness does not speak the intelligence of the day, nor that intelligence which comes of the situation. Believe us when we tell you that disfranchisements come from the merged interests of white men as they conceive them to be, and in the merging party names are sacrificed to the good of the cause. Believe us? Well, we guess yes. This to John W. Kern's credit, at any rate; when in the legislature he made an effort to have what is known as the black laws wiped from the statutes of Indiana. He is a Democrat and should be given credit for his effort when the question is asked concerning his regard for the colored people. The Freeman will have the pleasure of presenting to its readers the observations of Dr. Booker T. Washington when recently abroad in six articles from his pen. The articles will be exclusive of those furnished the Outlook. We congratulate ourselves and readers on the good fortune of thus being favored. Everything else being equal, vote for men rather than parties. Bear in mind that the race question has assumed a new face. It is no longer a question of a party to save, but men to save. Men of the Democratic party are good to tie to if we don't care to see a set of white men arrayed against the colored people. Bear in mind that there are more white Democrats in Indianapolis than white Republicans. Why not make friends of them at any price, at any time? W. O. McKINNEY. A very favorable story, which upon investigation has been found to be true, is going the rounds among the thinking elements of the colored voters relative to the eligibility of W. O. McKinney, candidate for justice of the peace on the Republican ticket. The story is briefly this: Some year or so back, two brothers (white men) by the name of Griffin, came to Indianapolis from Mississippi to engage in the lumber business. The records of Mr. McKinney's court show, according to the evidence adduced, that while living in a north side flat they became angered at some trifling or imaginary offense on the part of a colored jani- tress by the name of Agnes Wood, whereupon she was brutally kicked and otherwise assaulted. The two were promptly arrested and upon trial in the city court were let off with a fine of one dollar and costs. Friends of the colored woman both black and white carried the case into Justice McKinney's court with the result that she was given $400 damages, in addition to which was attached a cost of $108, which the two men had to pay, even after a most rigid protest from white friends of the accused. In rendering this decision in the case, Justice McKinney gave the men a severe tongue-lashing, making it clear to them that they could not bring their damnable practices of Mississippi up here with them and get off with a small fine. Such men as Mr. McKinney are the kind the colored voters should support. A man who is fearless in his decisions as the law and evidence brings them before him. AS TO DISFRANCHISEMENTS. The colored orators are being pushed pretty hard for campaign talk when they find it necessary to spring the old gag of disfranchisement to frighten the colored voters into voting for the Republican candidates. It's a very bad game for the colored speakers to play. No one thinks of disfranchisement, no one talks of disfranchisement, no one expects it, yet some of the colored speakers think this their best card and final, the one to pull out when the case looks a little desperate. It's no time to enter into a long argument as to who disfranchis colored men. Sufficient to say that it is white men, white men of the South, men who have merged all their political faiths into one, that of anti-Negro. It may be unusual to think of it in the way we put it, but at that it will stand the test. What has been done in the South is felt way up here in the North. The influence of Negro opposition coming from the white people of the South generally has affected the white people of the North generally; not that this is the total influence but a good forceful part based on the theory that blood is thicker than water. Just as well come clean in the matter. If disfranchisement should come it would come through the efforts of united white men, who will have agreed to enlist under any old banner that meant the carrying the thing contended for. We think the principles of our disfranchisement is plainly stated. The hair splitting differences can only keep the end further back, but it will be arrived at sooner or later, and to this extent, that disfranchisement of American Negroes is the result of classism. That the guise under which it should be called Democracy does not mean very much since the situation would be the same under any other name. TRUE REFORMERS' BANK AND ORDER FAIL. The news of the failure of the order of True Reformers will be greatly regretted wherever the order is known. As an order it stood for very much, appealing to men everywhere owing to its industrial features, which were in the concrete, "séeable," tangible, manifestation, and which were in beautiful accord with the day when the race is making its struggle through industry upwards. The order was not confined to locality, but extended fairly the breadth of the land, and always making the same laudable effort to help up the struggling industrial worker. The order has been persistently fought for years regardless of its fine intentions, and simply because its premises were not thought sound. It has long been said that the order would fail finally. It is a pity that the prediction of failure did not fall since those predicting failure helped along in the matter until the failure came. It may be that the splendid fabric may be saved, the splendid setting which has the whole country as a field. If so, it will require almost superhuman effort. The bank will have to cut loose from the society since they are plainly opposing in their influences. The order will not indulge in healthy exertions as long as there stands a bank with a reputation of having withstood the financial storm of Richmond, Virginia, when banks by white men went to the wall or else closed their doors in self-defense. This same bank unfortunately has failed and consequently the confidence in the order is destroyed, since it was held the bulwark of the order. The colored people from all parts pointed to Richmond with pride when talking bank. The good wise ones of the order should get together to save the splendid landmark. Will they do it? SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT. The Indianapolis News referring to the appointment of W. H. Lewis of Boston assistant attorney general of the United States, plainly states the possible difficulty of filling the important office on purely social grounds. This situation it deplores, however, insisting that men when appointed to office are sent to Washington to tend to business rather than shine in society. The position taken by the News in the matter is fair enough until the very end of the somewhat extended comment when it said: "It is said that an effort will be made to find some other place for Lewis, and that 'he might be switched to the position of sub-treasurer in Philadelphia, that position being vacant.' There he could associate with Penrose, Tener, and other machine politicians." We are inclined to think that if the office were tendered in a sort of tentative way, that the suggestion of other places where social functions had no go, would have a tendency to influence just such an appointment. And perhaps, according to our social systems today, it would be the best for them. But the government has no time to be looking out for social systems, social precedence and the rest of it; it is to be served and not society. Mr. Lewis being of rare education, it follows that he is of extreme good judgment, and will not be carried off of his feet, nor lose his head over society, especially when society may THE FREEMAN.

This is so plain that we take it that the appointing powers expect no social upheaval owing to certain social prerogatives seemingly, that have accompanied certain offices. This is to be avoided by the good sense of the individuals appointed, since the government officially recognizes no society, it being no less private in Washington than elsewhere. In the event of the appointment of Mr. Lewis we rely on his judgment to be the passive subject of society and indeed as most individuals are. His duties as assistant attorney general well performed is all that is expected of him, and the commendation for thus doing should be his reward beyond the salary attached to the office. HALLOWE'EN. Last Monday evening the city was topsy turvy, in keeping with the carnival spirit in the name of Hallowe'en. The authorities had said the word; that everything was all right for a good time, just so everybody was good. Indiana Avenue in particular took the authorities at their word and during the fun it was a common sight to see a limb of the law gallanted by a dusky belle on either side all enjoying themselves immensely. The procession of gay masqueraders that continued from early until very late in the evening was a study. Most of these were colored. Every possible burlesque and caricature were seen. The grotesque and the beautiful mingled, heeding no distinction lines. Some attempted the symbolical, others stage characters and those of well-known books. Many a Cinderella there was and kindred fairydom. It typified the passing show of life where were congested its strange and freakish manifestations that give its accentuation. It was a study. There were those who proved that they were discontented with the places nature had assigned them. For the moment they selected their own fate. Men who preferred to be women had their way; women who would be men enjoyed their desire for the moment. The lewd would be virtuous, the good who would break from restraint—all had their day. Regularity gave way to Bohemia and for the best since it may be, as the beautiful allegorical lesson taught by Joseph Addison that the human family would not be wholly satisfied even if permitted to choose for itself what it thought best for itself. Discontent would follow any selection, a quality inserted in the plan for the preservation of the human kind. AMONG THE POLITICIANS. The Battle of the Ballots the Consuming Topic—Men the issue Rather Than Parties. Capt. W. E. English. Among those standing for the upper house of our Legislature is Capt. W. E.

He is a man of means, yet he is easily approachable, bending his ear to the appeal of charity and other good causes. All the voters should be delighted to give Mr. English a vote. The colored people know his qualities of heart, since he has ever had them in his employ, paying good wages, treating them well. He is a brilliant example of the individual who does not allow his party label to enter his business affairs. This broad spirit has always characterized him, and which has made for him his immense popularity. Taking him all in all, none is more fitted to fill the office he seeks. John Rauch for County Clerk. John Rauch, for County Clerk, is making a splendid campaign for that important office. Mr. Rauch is a prominent business man and has been identified with the business interests of this city for many years. During these years nothing, but good has been said of him. His ability and integrity fit him for the duties of the office he seeks. His long usefulness in the community entitles him to most careful consideration. Mr. Rauch's generosity is well known. He has ever shown regard for all classes of citizens, thus making for him an ideal candidate. The colored voters know Mr. Rauch for his kindness. He is a good first-class Democrat who chose to be a man long years before he concluded to run for office on the Democratic ticket, thus proving his worth as one to be voted for regardless of party. Judge Pritchard has made a very good judge of the criminal court according to what is said of him. He is kindly and genial, having mercy as well as justice in his decisions. Dr. E. S. Knox is a favorite apparently for Coroner. He is a young [Picture of a man in a suit with a serious expression]. DR. EDWIN S. KNOX. Republican, a physician of good practice.

Harry Roberts is waging a vigorous campaign for the office of County Commissioner for the second district. Mr. Roberts is a contractor for sewers, cement work, etc. He is a Republican. Jacob Woessner, for Sheriff, is a good staunch Democrat, who has many friends who are not Democrats. Baker, for Prosecuting Attorney, is making a good run. Many think he will be next in that office. He is a Democrat. Chas. McGuire is a Democratic faithful now standing for Commissioner.Mr. McGuire is another one of that generous set, old line Democrats. Charles Orbison for a judge of the Superior court insists that in event of his election that the duties of the office will not be delayed. Linton A. Cox hopes to represent this district in congress. He is leaving nothing undone to help himself and his party. Ed. Sourbier is a progressive young Republican who is standing for County Treasurer. Mr. Sourbier made friends as sheriff, many of whom are pushing his candidacy for the office he now has in view.

THE CHICAGO THEATERS. Lillian Brown Makes Debut at Grand .General Notes. (By CARY B. LEWIS) 2939 State Street. Special to THE FREEMAN CHICAGO, Ill.-Miss Lillian Brown made her debut Monday night at the Grand. She is an experienced little soulshow girl and she is one of which she uses mots pleasingly. She opened the bill before a crowded house by singing "Whistle and Wait for You." The second song she played a Jew's harp solo, accompanied by the orchestra and closed with a neat buck and wing dance. She was very faint, but she moved one of the bug numbers on the bill. Hayden and Vaughn was a laugh provoking sketch, opening with a catchy song, uttered by the man. "To the Man" and closed with the used to mockery on "black peo" "Barber's Ball." It was evidenced that which did not take so well. "Cut it out." Ramson and Randsom, a railroad porter and son, elicited a great deal of fun in the act, which was some clever talking and acting in the act which was very appropriate to the skirt. "Ir. There ever was a Shine It's the two song numbers The Pranplas, a musical act, was one of the best numbers on the bill. This is a clean act: nothing salacious. It opens with a song by the Pranplas line "Sits 'Somebody Else." A correct solo is rendered and they close with a melody of rags; the act being with a generosity from the crowd and the movers and entertainers wove very wool into the night before a large Halloween crowd. The Monogram. The Monogram has been having some pretty bum acts and Mr. Kline has been having some pretty bum acts and he stands for them. Bum acts make small houses, but this week he was successful in securing one of the best bills that has been at his house this season. He has bum acts everybody's favorite, was the headliner. Brooks had some new work and new songs. His act was a good one and a big hit and not only that, he sang a parody on "Rosie" and "Till Stay Out Here." He was a bigger hit than last week and not so salacious; yet more amusing and funnier. Hisisters, direct from Louisville, where they have scored big, held the audience for twenty minutes with screams, singing "überkneeling Moon," singing "You Got Me," "Pensacola Mouch." All their songs were good and their costumes are great, charmier effect. And Taylor were funny, Burton seems to have a swell wardrobe, while Taylor's make-up is good. Burton looks swell, very swell. They sing "Little Black Shy," "Make a Fool Out of Me," "I Love You," "When Teddy Comes Marching Home." The Pekin. The much heralded All Star Cast made its appearance Monday night, with Jesse Shipp, the chief debater, assuming the role of "No Place Like Home" was the appropriate title of the effort and barring a few clever musical numbers, the skit did not come up to the expectation of the most enthusiastic audience. The skit lacked comedy, void of point, lines poorly read and the grammar used intolerable. For the experience of the All Star Cast, was amateurish; for more than a decade than on Monday and Tuesday nights. It would be better to have vaudeville and have the same old prices than have the same old prices in amusement and other things. The music from the small chorus was full of harmony, though lacking in soprano Mrs. White, Jerry Mills; Mrs. White, Mrs. Hattie McIntosh; Lucy White, Goldie Crosby; Elder Brown and Ice Man, Tom Brown; Willie Brown, Sidney Perrin; Mrs. Staff, J.

Many of her friends have become interested in the musical art and public exhibitions it will be a success. The affair is for a worthy cause and the citizens of Chicago will no doubt turn out in large numbers. The word rats was used in these columns last week for the word actors.

Prof. William Dorsey, the music arranger is hearing from oil parts of the country from those that wish new songs arranged for single, double or skits.

HOWARD THEATRE The Howard Musical Stock Company has been playing to a capacity house ever since the opening Monday evening, when the band's signature restful to make a profound impression. "My Friend from Dixie, a three are musical band, has the data that particular having the latest and most catchy songs with local settings. The scenery and costumes are superb. The entire company Louis A. Mitchell, who assumes the character of Jasper Green, a rich pantation owner, was liberally applauded. J. Leonard Marshall, the co-star of the songs, assumes the character of Mandy Lee, the daughter of Jasper Green, and the wife of a shiftless Jim Marshall, who is exceedingly clever and one of the best natural-born actors upon the stage. Leona Marshall, whom the theater-goers of Washington have always sweetness and expressiveness.

Lubrie Hill). His rendition of "Don't Be Too Fas" is one of the hits of the show. When it is performed by Jam Jackson Lee, and chorus sing "Molasses Candy" we are reminded of George Walker in Bon Bon Buddy, chocolate and the Meet Me When the Sun Goes Down" with telling effect. J. Lubrie Hill and Leona Marshall are just as keen as can be, and their rendition "That Real Coon Rag" Ensembles are by Prof. Will H. Vodery, musical director, of the Howard theater lyrics by B. A. Govern, assisted by L. B. Minor, A. L. Stuart, and staged under the personal direction of J. Lubrie Hill. On the whole the show is the most high-tech play ever played. The stage of the play was even better. It is well equipped, even balanced and sufficiently good to warrant the company to travel with it. It easily ranks with any show ever placed on the stage. It also approves the theater lovers. He has surrounded himself with a large corps of the best actors, singers, dancers, comedians and producers that can be found. The audience during the week could be seen Mrs. Bessie Oliver-Brown; Col. R. W. Thompson and wife; Judge R. H. Wervell; Register W. T. Cernon; Editor; Editor; Auditor R. W. Cobb; Sherman Hunnicutt; William Clifford; Auditor R. W. Tyler; Assistant U. S. Attorney Jas. A. Cobb, and J. T. Neuman. The Bill at the Dabney theater this week is a good one. It consists of James Goodman, an eccentric comedian; Jordan and Burke, doing singing and dancing stunts; James Matthews, a real clever Britian actor. T. Spencer Finley, Washington's favorite coach, Brown contends the delight the audiences have to the Hawkins. Their clever sketch entitled "Who, Me," keeps the house in an uproar from start to finish. --- The ingenious utilization of the piano by George W. Battles adds wonderfully in depicting the motion pictures at the Minneapolis theater. The large crowds and the audience are attracted largely by good singing of the latest popular songs by Mr. Battles. Better Times in Store for Performers in the South. Mr. L. D.

Beats Champion Jack Johnson in Automobile Race—Barney Tells Why He Did It. Well the expected has happened. Jack Johnson was not content with all the glory that went with his career, that he was a heavy weight fighter, that it was said of one Alexander, that he signed for not only a championship but a mania for a automobile racing champion, that all possession of him—soul and body. And then there was no doing with him until he had a contest down on his card. Jack had tried himself out on some small tries since, he felt that he had to race, it would have been better at once than the head of the mobile racing class. He must go after Barreld Oldfield, whose specialty was racing and who had been in many racing meetings. He told Johnson evidently that anything less than Oldfield was "a foeman worthy of his steel." Yes, he insisted on offering the crafts that fairly amalgamated his letters, not thinking that he told Langford where to get off at, and because he had not fought men of his fighting parts. He thought of that when chasen Harvey Oldford for a go on the race track—that he was not in Oldfield's class. Johnson many friends throughout the country are making an exhibition of him, making an exhibition of him. No one seems to be sorry that he has been most thoroughly threshed. Dr. Majors of Chicago put rigs to his issue in the race. One of the things is that he be fairly circumspect, doing those things which comport with the distinction achieved, but still quite rize lighting. Johnson's video was in the name of the race, made of course, by conditions that need not now be rehearsed. But soon being shot, he said, making his friends to regret owing to some gross violation of the proprieties. From New York comes the stories of the track and as follows: "The ambition of Jack Johnson, champion heavy weight pugilist, to annex other champions as a racing automobiles driver over the course of Barney Oldfield. After attending the fields of Barney Oldfield, Johnson showed to poor advantage in his new role, and Oldfield in one heat of their five-mile race of Sheepshead Bay toyed with the big fighter. Only two seats in the race were superiority. Following his victory Oldfield gave out this statement: "I raced Jack Johnson for neither money nor glory but to eliminate from my profession an invader who would have had to fight him again." After later, If Jeffries had fought Johnson five years ago, the white man would have won, and after Jeffries retired he would never have had to fight him again; so if he probably would have gained much experience on the tracks and bought high powered cars, while I am not getting any better from day to day. I am glitf if my victory took effect on the "white horse" situation. In the first heat Oldfield ran away from Johnson. He was quicker to get away and Johnson's car never showed ahead. At the finish Oldfield led by about one-quarter of the time and five miles was 1 minutes and 44 seconds. "The time of the second heat, 5 minutes 14 5 seconds, or 30 4-5 seconds slower than the first, tells the story of the heat. The first heat, after gaining a lead several times, sows up to allow Johnson a chance. He swims to the rail, however, and in putting the ball up, he hits fifty yards, which he held to the finish. "Between the first and second heats of the match race Oldfield drove his "Bilzen Benz" a 200-horse-power car, one mile long, to the finish. Oldfield the Brighton Beach circular track record by 5-1-5 seconds, but after a flying run from the clute to the starting point today Oldfield had only two turns to measuring the Brighton Beach course has four turns. Barney Oldfield tells why he had to do it. "I did not enter into the race against Johnson for good or glory," said Barney Oldfield today, but to eliminate from my profession an invader who might cause me harm. Now, if Jeffries had fought Johnson five years ago when the white man was in his prime, he would not have had to return to "There is no reason why Johnson should not develop into a good driver with track experience and a high powered racing car. He was a very good driver for me to win from him yesterday than to take a chance on losing to him a year or so hence, and his ambition and persistence would certainly have helped him. He had ignored him. Now, I am on my way to Atlanta to win another battle from the American Automobile Association." The first five-mile heat of the $10,000 race between Oldfield and the dare-devil driver almost lost Johnson, and finished first, almost half a mile ahead of his competitor. Johnson showed neither skill nor daring in his driving, and allowed the other racer in any way from him. He was so badly injured that he was taken to Oldfield. Oldfield was confident from the start, while Johnson, who smoked a big black cigar while driving in the heat, refused to leave until after he had been beaten in the first contest. Oldfield's time for the first heat was 4 minutes and 44 seconds. Johnson's time was not taken as he did not finish. It was Oldfield heat from start to finish. The Negro never had a chance of taking the In the second heat Oldfield slowed up on two occasions, 'he cars passing the junctions, he cars encroaching with Johnson until the flag announcing the finish of the heat was dropped. Oldfield was declared the winner, after having won two successive heats. The time to second heat was 5 minutes 14 3-5 second. Johnson drove a 90-horse-power Thomas while Oldfield drove his 60-horse-power Koldie. Oldfield was a slight favorite in the bettle. Between heats Oldfield drove his 200-horse-power Biltzen Benz a mile in 44 1-2 seconds, hanging up a new world's track. Oldfield's best previous mile was 49.5. It was long ago when the good old King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden moved among his people incognito. Owing to his insignia one of the common people met up with many peculiar experiences. One day he chanced upon a goose herder who with his flock of geese were quietly king in the shade. It looked easy, and the king is a matter of experience, desired to exchange places with the herder for a white. The herder did not care to leave his flock but on some subterfuge the king got him away. The herder had not been gore very long before his gore became restless. They scampered here and there. The king who was a stout man old the best he could. He ran hither and there with the hopes of rounding the gorse to that nice quiet in which he found them. He ran, puffed, blowed until Worms "Cassarettes are certainly fine. I gave a friend once when the doctor was treating him for cancer and when he was taking it in pain four pieces of a tape worm. He threw it box and in three days he passed a tape-worm 45 feet if it was Mr. Matt Freck, of Milleburg, Baskerville. Daspilhine.

The geese refused to hood, and the lute ringer. refused to herd, and the king gave up. The herder coming at this most critical moment was like Sheridan who came from Wincanton, where he was being shot to pieces. What was done, what to do, a glance told him, the gooseman with staff in hand took the file and under its magic spell restored order. The good king Gustavus was convinced that goose herding was not his long suite. When he met the king, to the incident here is the way they put it: "Cobbler, stick to thy last." Respectfully dedicated to one act, Johnson. (H) THE FIREMAN, the leading race paper. Subscription price reduced. Now $1.00 per year until January 1. SAM LANGFORD APPEARS AT EMPIRE THEATRE.

It is said that Sam is issuing challenges to Jeffries every day, and who he claims is sidestepping. TWIN (JACK) SULLIVAN IS BESTED BY GEORGE COTTON. Colored Man Had White Opponent In Bad Shape at End of Bout. PITTSBURG—George Cotton of Pittsburgh, had all the best of Jack ("Twin") Sullivan, of Boston, in a sizzling hot setto the clown, in a glittering Temple the other night. The stellar bout of what proved an unusually well-contested card was one of those most appreciated in rareest of pugilistic attractions—a skillfully and hard-fought heavy weight contest. The men were a most decided contrast in respects besides color, had the hall-mark of a jabbering enthesis in the label, and parenthetically, it may be remarked that both justified the decoration. But in other respects it was a stark contrast against the veteran of a thousand battles; a short stocky slugger against a willow and tall scraper; a straight jabber against a swinger, and, as is usually the case, a short stocky slugger against a willow and tall scraper. The first half of the right left nothing to choose either way. Sullivan, as became a veteran of class, was the aggressor, and the second half of the right overhand swings to the faces, but Cotton divided honors with him on the greater number of blows landed and had the better of the clinches using right upper Cotton was plainly cautious and inclined to be very wary of his veteran adversary, a sixth session, however. Cotton landed a smashful blow which very, pliably, hurt a whole lot, and taking more confidence from this, opened up more treeless and just at the close lifted the shoulder of the hook beneath the chin. The colored man forced the milling merrily in the sixth, proving the master of Suwan as both a man and a dog. In dropping Jack again, but battered him to a whisper with rights to the jaw and killing right body blows. In experience in the ring probably enabled him to stick to the limit, but that is all he did, as he was holding on and very weak and could not position himself any more round. The opponent had lost all his money and was after him like a tiger, trying to put over the slumber punch. The fight was between Joe Clark of Wilkes-Barre and Johnny Brooks, colored of Soho. They furnished a fast and furious round of fighting that was all to the merry mixups, but it was announced that Brooks had broken one of his arms. A doctor who examined him, however, seemed to be left under the impression that the colored lad had "seen his "Kid" Gorkas, of the Sunnyside Club, of Lawrenceville, and Young Atterbury, of West Brownsville, met in the second bout. He was dressed all in light-colored allied the fighting tacques of a game cock, mincing and picking his feet up behind him in the most approved chantier coat. He was wearing a hat, but found that he had too hard a boy to go against to cut any didoes. He won his fight handily with the advantage of 15 points. He was wearing a great double all but out at the finish, but he had to get down to business and fight all the time to do it. This boy is very strong and rugged, quick on his feet and has a great double all but out at the finish. He was good one if he cuts chantier fashions in lighting. Eddie McCloskey of Johnstown, had all his fights of Young O'Brien, the Northside, in his initial bout. He was far too ceaver for O'Brien and forced the fighting y.

John Arthur Johnson, the champion puglist, has another law suit on his bands. The plaintiff is curtaino Sclarino, a sculpter who alleges the Negro boxer owes him for making a plaster paris cast of the Johnson cast. Through his lawyer, C. C. Eugerman, of 123 Nassau street, the sculptor declares Johnson posed for him many times in July and kept him writing a cast. Finally when thing was completed, Johnson is said to have expressed great admiration for it. But alas and alack! when Senor Sclarino sought to be the sculptor, he found. Indeed, says the sculptor, when he did see the black champion and asked for his money Johnson ignored him with the summons and complain in the suit, and the case is expected to be placed on the calendar. Senor Sclarino, describing Johnson's elation over the plaster cast, said that when the fighter looked at it he exclaimed it was "jes' de same as a lookin' glass."

There is still back or quarter; at any rate, his playing will be valuable at any position in the game. Meharry History. It was Dr. Burt Anderson, of Chicago, who was among the foremost ones to work up a football game at Meharry, who had a difficulty to secure teams to play, but finally challenges were sent to Roger Williams, Tuskegee and Knoxville Colleges. Games were played and Meharry was forced to play. Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore, now of Louisville, acted as captain, in the year 1900, and was the third actor to Meharry met defeat, and this was by Fisk University. In 1903-4-5 Meharry defeated the leading colleges of the country, Atlanta, without being scored against. In 1908 Fisk won in a hot contest, but in 1909 Meharry was victorious, and she was the first to play in the South. Meharry, during the past ten years, holds a remarkable record. These two teams. Fisk and Meharry, have one of the greatest games in the country every Thanksgiving. Central at Louisville. Central High School, at Louisville, is nearing its finishing touches for a big game on Thanksgiving. Many of its old warriors are back on the team this year, and the team has been without doubt the best that ever represented the Yellow and Black. The team this year will average 157 pounds, Carl Stewart weighing 215 pounds and Charles Johnson weighing 185 pounds. Coaches Johnson and Harris have been with the boys for the past three weeks, and they are now in excellent form. Harris has spent some time in training with the team, and recently, while Johnson has been giving instructions in falling on the ball and putting-it execution, he told the following will be the line-up for the season: Barry, left end; Tinsley, left tackle; Thompson, left guard; Stewart, center; McEliory, left guard; Stewart, center; McEliory, left guard; Taylor or Cutter, left end; Allen, left half; Simpson, quarter back; Barr, full back; Johnson, right half. There is some doubt as to Summer of St. Louis playing Central this year, the Boys' team has seen fit to pass a law limiting football schedules to the State. An effort will be made, however, to make concessions to the Louisville school, as the history of these two schools dates back ten years. The Fisk team, at Nashville, is not saying much, but it is evident that she hopes to do some great playing this season. She will be put forth to down the Meharry boys. Tuskegee, Wilberforce M. Street High School, Washington, D.C. C. Atlanta Baptist College, State University of Louisville, Frankfort Normal, Kentucky, Philander Smith, Little Rock, and other schools in the South are down to hard work.

On Parents' Farm—Left Small Estate. GRAND RAPIDS.—The body of Stanley Ketchel, the middleweight pugilistic champion of the Comedian Mo., has been buried on the 200-acre farm which he purchased for his parents, near Belmont, Mo. This was the plan of his relatives in this city. Heart-broken and grief-strick-ing, he is the man in the country homestead the return of the corpse of the son on whose career they had builted fondest hopes. The especially had doted upon some day seeing his hard son on son wearing the belt which would proclaim him king of ring artists of the world. Upon though P. Dickerson, upon whose ranch he had lived, he needed to have the body interred there, the relatives believe that the soil of Michigan should receive the corpse of the fighter, who world's middleweight pugilistic champion expected that the body will reach here late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. Springfield's total estate, after the incumbrances of his real estate holdings are met, will not be over $10,000. SPRINGFIELD—Walter A. Hurtz, whose real name is Walter Dipley, who earned his Stamle, Ketchel, middleweight champion award of R. P. Dickerson Saturday, was arrested Sunday at the home of Thomas Hogget, a farmer who lives in the foot hills of the Ozark mountains, near Nianagua, Mo. The slayer, who confessed, was arrested by Hoggatt, at whose home the fugitive sought shelter, after a flight of fifteen miles to the Webster county jail at Married Hill and killed the pugilist to save his own life. He is being closely guarded by deputy sheriffs to prevent a threatened lynching. Hoggatt was granted shelter at the Hoggatt farm, the owner of the home was ignorant of the murder, but soon learned of the killing. Hurtz was taken unawares when the armed farmers entered his room and levelled the fence, then ordered to roll up his sleeves and when the tattoo marks of identification were discovered he broke down and confessed to shooting Ketchel. Self-defense was his specialty place no credence in his statements. Hurtz begged for protection. The prisoner declared that when he ordered Ketchel to throw up his hands he meant no fear when he fighted, but that overcome by fear when he fighted, he pressed the trigger. He added he knew Ketchel was armed with a revolver, and cared that the prize-fighter would have been killed. Ketchel had offended Goddie Smith, the book, who is under arrest as his accomplice. In his cell the slayer admitted his name was Dipley, and that he recently deserted the United States navy. He declared that his home was in Webb City, Missouri. THE FREEMAN IN LONDON, ENG.

LANGFORD IN TOWN Big Bob Armstrong With Him, Also Manager J. A. Woodman. AT THE EMPIRE THEATER Where the Would-Be Champion Heavy Weight Takes on Local Celebrities. There was something doing in sporting circles all this week. Dinky Sam Langford is in the office, but he is the star of Baby. Besides doing the usual stunts in THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. the way of exhibition and talking, he took on some local people, with whom he toyed as Oldfield played with Johnson in that lit-the automobile arena. He took on the Langford's theme, and also Langford's manager's theme. He says he would willingly scale the Alps to get a whack at Johnson. Not many, however, believe he is so warm as all that. Jack is wearing a golden fleece. Not that Sam is bluffing at all, for it is the opinion that he will fight, but it is win or lose, Sam yet wins. So Jack is Sam's bank account, and Jack just can't himself. All Sam has to do is to yell Jack and Jack must keep up air-tight, or else more ducats will flow to Sam. Sam has the thing coming or going. Oh, you Sam! Langford is a short, squat black, standing five feet six and a half inches, and he has a terrible punch in either hand. He is only twenty-five years old and hails from a Langford began his fighting career in Boston about three ago. With him at the Empire is Bob Armstrong, the big Negro who acted as sparing partner for James Jeffries when that big grizzly was grooming to get licked by the champion. Armstrong is more the size of the champion, Langford and Armstrong together will give the bugs an idea how Langford would compare in size with Johnson if they got together. Joe Woodman, the manager of Langford said. He had any experience in the fighting game when I took charge. He has moved up faster than any man in the history of the game. "How about Langford's fifteen-round fight with Jack Johnson in Boston?" was the first query. "That fight was on the square. Johnson weighed 196 pounds; Langford scaled in at 195 pounds; and the other five rounds, and dropped him for the count in the sixth round. The timekeeper was good to Sam and gave my man a little extra time to get ready. The proceeded to make things lively for the big Negro. Langford put Johnson down for the count in the seventh round. This time the timekeeper was good to Johnson and handed him a few rounds. That the management decided to stretch it over the full route. Langford played ping-pong and had all the better rounds, and had all the better of the argument. Charlie White, who referred the mill, told me that while he called the contest a "fight," he said his mind that Langford would have beaten Johnson if the fight had gone twenty rounds." Big Bob Armstrong took a peep in The Freeman office last week. He was asked about his assertion before the Reno sight that he had never picked a loser in all his ones, he had just as good an answer behind as before. He had picked Jerries as a winner, "proving his theory," by what he knew, etc. He said in reply that he had to pick a loser, and he meant a $,500 job for him. In other words, he was simply a politician who did not know how to say "no." Bob said something also about receiving a gift of $,5,500 when he was a politician. "That's kind of nice, isn't it?" said he. His inquisitors thought it was. The big fighter did not tarry long for fear the eagles would eat him. He has to be very sparse of his opinions, since that is the better part of his assets. He can't afford to go wrong too often. Bob looks well groomed, the six or more feet he looks like every inch the gamecock that he is.
