The successful negotiation of the loan for the relief of Liberia and the tentative removal of the objection made by France to the intervention of the United States in the war against Liberia, the African Republic is regarded as quite a feather in the cap of Secretary of State Knox. It is now expected that the old claims of the Barclay government will be satisfactorily adjusted and that the Barclay government may be able to proceed at once to liquidate her outstanding debts and the customs of the Liberians as security for the payment of the loan. It is expected that the patronage growing out of this arrangement will be equitably handled by the university administration of the citizens of Liberia. The diplomatic relations of the Liberians will be handled by representatives designated by this council. By this concert of the power of the university administration of the moral right of the United States to intervene in assisting a government for which we are primarily responsible, all contention as to the operation of the "Monroe Doctrine" is obstructed. According to the Liberian Register, the organ of the administration at Monrovia, and the Liberian government are as follows: Interest-bearing debt..... $991,790.12 Debt bearing no interest..... $399,534.23 Aggregate of public debt..... $399,324.23 MISS BURROUGHS TRAINING SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

Burrough has an institution that is doing a great work, and with the development in sight, it is destined to do a still greater work than is possible now. The school is located in the courtyard and all of the dormitory space is filled with young women and girls anxious to become skilled in useful industrial arts. A brighter or happier lot of girls one year older than the courtesy of Miss Jackson, of Malden, Mass, who has charge of primary instruction, your correspondent was permitted to inspect all of the departments of the school, and was given much valuable information. The aims and deeds. The business office, the library and ready room, the music room, the business department, with its typewriters, the sewing division, the garden and playground, the students were suggestive of the thoroughness with which Miss Burrough does everything she undertakes, and she has imbued her handsome and loyal corps of assistants The tract of land on which the school is situated is a commanding slope, just outside of the northeastern limits of the city, and comprises six acres, all available to students, varying in age from fourteen to forty-four, with a faculty of ten teachers, and some of the more apt students assist in the teaching. Miss Burroughs is the assistant principal, and she funds a fund of $50,000 for a much-needed new building, and it is likely that she will have the amount necessary to start teaching. This week is being devoted to prayer to bring about the object in view. The instructors are as follows: Miss J. L. Peck, missions; Miss M. M. Walls (secretary), Miss E. L. Gray, millinery; Mrs. M. Dresser, dressmaking; Mrs. Shaw (assistant secretary), music; and Miss Georgia G. Moore, who is to come soon, to take charge of English and history. The students half from twelfth grade are carried on by various ministers from the city. A visit to Miss Burroughs splendid school is an inspiration—a vision of hope that is a mute but eloquent testimonial to the dignity of labor and an object lesson in what can be accomplished along the simplest lines by mixing brains with brawn.

PROF, SAMUELS OSIGINATES PECULIAR METHOD OF TREATMENT His Phenomenal Success Causes Enmity of Doctors ARRESTED MANY TIMES. But Acqyitted by Juries and Judges and Permitted to Continue in a Work That He Alone Can Do, as He Is the Only Man in the World Using His ‘System—Patients Make Startling Statements of His Successful Method of Treating Consumption, Bright’s Disease, Kidney Trouble, Blindness, Fits, Catarrh, Heart Disease, Cataracts, Nervous Prostration, Dropsy, Hay Fever and Many Other Diseases That Baffle the Skill of the Ordi- nary Physician. ‘z ulous cure of hopeless invalids made by Professor Samuels, of Wichita, Kas., have been of such a startling character that they have aroused widespread wonder, ad- miration and curiosity. ‘Time and again he has taken cases pronounced hopelessly incurable by the medical profession and restored the patients to health in a most phenomenal manner. ‘There te considerable mystery attached to Professor Samuel's method of accom- pllshing these marvels, and it 1s known that he does not use the drastic drugs and medicines that doctors depend upon. ‘And it is a matter of proof that with the system this discovery «ives him, he has made the blind see and the lame walk. Ho has revived the flickering spark of Iife in bodies on the ery verge of the graye, and restored to health men and women given up to die by doctors and specialists. Professor Samuels came into note sev- eral years ago by his almost miraculous cure of “Blind Joe,” of Topeka, Kas, who was weil known in that city, having sold peanuts and popcorn on the streets there for years. He had been blind for ten years and had exhausted all the means in his power to be cuged, but had given up in despair until he fell Into the hands of Pro- fessor Samuels, who effected a cure Professor Samuels liad been arrested many time for practicing his system with- out @ diploma. On being interviewed few days ago relative to his many arrests, Professor Samuels sald: “Yes, I have been arrested many times for pricticing without @ license, but in no case have I been convicted, aNturally, the medical profession are jealous of my success, and ‘are tignting me most of the time, Dut how are they gomg to conviet ‘me?’ Do you suppore any Jury, when my patients come into court, as they did at ‘Alva, Okla., Newkirk, Okia., Ponca City, Oxla., and omer towns, and tell how they have been cured of ail manner of troub.e, do you suppose for a minute that any jury hearing theve pepllé’ and seeing with their own eyes whit has been accompusned, 18 foing to convict me?

Mr F.'S. Bodkin, ving at 110. Prisco street, Oklahoma City, Okla., had what Physicians told him was incurable paraly- fis and a blood clot on the brain. Th 1900 he had the frst attack; In 1902 another attack, and a few days Inter a third attack. Physicians finally told him that blood clot on the Drain had caused locomotor ataxia, and stated that nothing could be done for him. After taking treatment from varlous doctors for sev- eral years, in 1909, one side became en- tirely paralyzed. Soon after this he be- gan taking treatment from Professor Sam- uels. He is now, although in his seven- waving entirety left him. He does not even use a can and walks anywhere any other healthy man can. Mr. Geo. Hartman, who lives at 211 North Meridian street, Wichita, Kas., had what some physicians pronounced Bright’ Aiseaso and others called diabetes, Variou: doctors, among them his family physician, had given him up to die. He was so weak he could hurdly walk. About this time he heard of Professor Samuels and placed himbel¢ in Professor Samuel's care, and stiowed a change for the better in a few Weeks. At the end of ten months he felt Just as well as he ever did and claims he is absolutelyly cured. It Is now more than a year since he took the treatment and he has never had a recuremce of the trouble. Mrs. J. ‘T. Williamson, who resides at 200 B street West, Hutchinson, Kans, was almost on tho verge of the grave with consumption and nervous trouble. For nearly 22 years Mrs. Williamson was seriously afflicted and the doctors sald. she had St. Vitus dance, in addition to tuber- culosis, Many leadhg physicians tnd pronounced her incurable and stated in the spring of 1909 that she would be buried with the falling of the leaves in autumn. She turned as a last resort to Professor ‘Samuels, and after starting his treatment [Mrs, Williamson had only ono Hemorrhage ‘of the lungs and began to improve at once. Jn a short time she was able to do her ‘own housework. She recently had her Jungs examined by a doctor, who pro- nounced them absolutely sound and well; fn addition to. this, the old-standing nerv- ‘ous trouble had disappeared. Mrs. H, J. Burroughs, living at Collins Ta, and who had a serious case of heart trouble, in a recent letter to Professor Samuels, states: “I have not taken a drop of medicine since I began your treatment. efore that I had to take from one to four heart tablets a day. I had dizzy, blind ‘spells and my heart did not beat regu- ladiy at all, but just flutter; now it beats regularly and does not bother me a bit. T tell everyone T talk with of your treat- ‘ment and what it has done for me.” Mr, C. W. Neel, living at Broken Ar- row, Okla, had a very bad case of rheu- matism; writing Professor Samuels in a recent letter states as follows: “Thank you, Professor, ten thousand tmes for your assistance in curing me of that awful ‘theumatism, I am still hard at at work ‘and feeling fine.” Mr. C. ©. Miller, living near Hutchin- son, Kans., had been given up to die by the ‘best physicians in that section of the coun- ‘try with what they termed Kidney trouble. “After all else had failed, he began to treat ‘with Prof. Samuels. He took the treat- ment for six months, after whieh all symptoms disappeared and he has never had a recurrence, Miss Daisy Hubbard, living at Alva, Okla., in a recent letter wrote: “Wor fifteen years T have been subject to. epi- lepsy and have received treatment. from several noted doctors and have: falled to receive permanent good," AS a ast resirt, she began treatment from Professor Sar: els, and now has no symptoms of the sense, Mrs. Mary Symms, a trained nurse, tv- Ing at Newton, Kang, brought her sister, Mrs.'Riee, Who resides at Dempster, Sout Dakota, to Wichita to be treated by Pdo- fessor Samuels.

They also have a neat singing and dancing act. All things considered, the new show is very unusual thing occurred at the Galveston entire bill of last week was carried over, they have simply got a show, it is not dandrelle, neither is it stock; it simply face comedy, with Goodlooe and Goodlooe, with Goodlooe, with Anthony took off the cork singing, couple of songs that are good.

THE PARK THEATRE, INDIANAPOLIS, IND. The attraction at the Park Theatre, Indianapolis, the first three days of next week, is the mous cartoon musical comedy, "Buster Brown," with Master Harold in the title role Mary Jane, the dog, Tige, and other characters. The production is Buster, and a large beauty chorus. This season's production of the piece is entirely with new scenery, new book and new songs. The attraction for the last half of the week at the park will be Harry Fields, a character who is written for his exclusive use. "The Shoe-maker," He is a character comedian of the 1950s and 60s who wrote the scenes of the new play show New York life on the east side and then are changed to the far west, thus picturing characters and many thrilling incidents. CROWN GARDEN. Paul Le Mero, Manager. The Tolliver Trio are a happy bunch. They sing well, the two men are good comedians and the woman is a good singer, whose high tones are beautiful. They sing well, the woman is a good singer. Queen Dora is all of it. She does the sheet act with the electric effects. None better has been seen in this city. She is wrestling with a perplexed man. The Griffin Sisters are still on the bill, getting the applause just the same in spite of the fact that they have appeared twice as long as any other act at the show. They are a perfect man, will make good no matter where they are. They have made themselves favorites. The great english, the hoop marvel is a very pretty english. His stage presence and manners are winning. "Oh! you drummer!" some fine manipulation of the sticks by the drummer of the orchestra. He was enclosed. "A Prospector's Fate" is a border tale of white men and Indians with tragic realities. They sing well, then some fine rope twirling, then the blood and thunder. Every thing one is looking for in that line-realistic, startling. A few years ago the Negroes of Washington could purchase a seat in most any seat in the theater, but none have been discriminated against and subjected to the humiliation of being colonized in the rear seats of the galleries of certain theaters and refused admission to theaters in other cities. The men of Baltimore seeing this appalling condition built the New Howard Theater, one of the most beautiful and commodious as well as modern theaters in the city, would have people could go and enjoy good shows and be accorded fair and just treatment. The Howard affords the race an opportunity to play and playwrights to display their talents. The colored company clamored for vaudeville and the management supplied them with high-class vaudeville, which they had been recruiting from bank accounts of the owners. The road shows were called for without white performers and with this request the management complained because there were enough colored troupes in country to supply a large house like the Howard. Later a stock company was asked for and the management immediately complained. The troupes were a group of the best producers, composers, singers, comedians and dancers available. For three weeks the stock company played as music comedy, enntering "My Friends From Dixieland" which all we who attended had to admit was superior to any colored show they had ever seen. However the attendance was too small, warring the manage- In the first place the theater has not been in existence long enough to become a social fixity among the people here. The haze has left it in the social program. The social customs have been in existence during the many years of the theater and have waited and even suffer before it gets a hold upon the people as a social entertainment and amusement. Like all other new ensembles, the theater has until it becomes established. Four months is too short a period for any enterprise to become a paying proposition, where its support is to come from a class of people who are interested in seeing it seen. Four months is too short a time in which to establish going to the Howard theater to see a production, seeming to business experience of the promoters would make them aware of this fact. If, after all schemes have been tried and the people have had sufficient time to make arrangements, make attending the Howard a part of the same, it is not supported the promoters must subsequently feel that the people of Washington would always go to the ballroom to make arrangements of the humiliation of being discriminated against than to enjoy and support an enterprise created especially for their own advantage. Mr W. H. H. Smith, while manager, was very careful to extend every possible courtesy and most vigilantly saw to it that no stone was left unturned to make the arrangements. Prof. Will H. Vodery, the musical director, has organized his men into one of the most powerful orchestras he heard anywhere. His orchestral arrangements are so superb and are rendered in such harmonious unison that rousing applause is given at the end of the performance. The performers of the Howard Musical Stock Company were tactful, artistic, graceful, refined and tasteful from the producer to the "supers." As a producer he could find an equal of Mr. J. Leubrie Hill. Ford Dabney's Theater. Much merriment prevailed at Dabney's last week. And there was no reason why it should not. L. A. Mitchell was on the road not only to the theater but was lots of fun. And besides there was Leona Marshall and Madeline Cooper. L. A. Mitchell, who assumes the character of the comedians who can send an audience into gales of laughter over even an old joke; and his monologues all have local color and form. He is fourth laughter. His flashing, but very expressive eyes, and the clever use of the inflection of his voice all go to make him the clever comedian that he is. He is a comedian of the Howard Musical Stock Company, sang "Love Joe" and "That Ragged Rag" with telling effect. She is full of action and made quite entertainer who does not allow a dull moment to creep in during her act. Madeline Cooper, who played a return to the theater and quite a favorite. She is a very clever dancer and received much applause. The performers played to S. R. O. during the Dabney Theater for a long time. The music was very good. Professor Carroll has a splendid orchestra. He made a message of the theater during the illness of Mr. George THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER W. Hamilton. At this writing Mr. Hamilton improves very slowly. Hiawatha Theater. Brown and Shelton, late of the Howard Stock Company, did a very clever comedy of the Rye Black Americans, was one of the headliners in the Howard Stock Company. He assumed the character of Bill Hammond, a former Hammond R. W. Shelton formerly of the Shelton family of entertainers, has now formed a partnership with Brown, late of Gaines & Brown, Mr. Shelton appeared as Jim Hammond, a former Friar's play. These gentlemen are clever comedians and all who heard them went away pleased. The Wilberforian orchestra, under the leadership of theerman, is one of the attractive features at the Sunday night concert. The Hawatha is a very beautiful theater here chaste vaudeville can be enjoyed with the finest grade of life pictures can be seen. Foraker Theater. "Peewe" Williams and Minnie Brown are playing at the Foraker to very large crowd Minnehaha Theater. The high-class life motion pictures and George W. Battles, at the piano, are still the features at this theater that attract such good crowds. "THE NIGGER." Southern Racial Drama of Great Human Interest Opens at McVicker's Theatre, Chicago. By Sylvester Russell, (Foremost Colored Dramatic Critic.) AT THE LYRIC THEATRE, LOUISVILLE, KY. The bill presented at the Lyric Theater this week was exceedingly attractive and is drawing great crowds, thanks to manager James Seals, who produces only one song in good shape but cut all performers that have anything bordering on indecency. No obscene language was allowed, please the manager more than to see a woman unable to distinguish between wit and obscurity. The very best people of our country are always able to strictly a place where one can take his wife and daughter without having their modesty shocked. Those who seek salty headliners for this week are headliners for this week are Johnson and Ringold and they are clever indeed. Their act caused such tremendous applause as the band leading Johnson's reposition of the song, the *Broadway* Shop. Chord", has never been equalled in this city, and Miss Ringold's wit is as sparkling champagne. Taylor, Taylor, mother and son, are clever singing and dancing comedians and the mother is as active and youthful in appearance as the son. She is the name applied to Mr. Arthur Wollige, who has a song that is forever new, because he is nightly the elixir of spontaneity. He has heard thousands with its wit and good humor. BOWLING GREEN, KY. Great Revival, Many Conversions- Thanksgiving Services—A Drama Special to THE FREEMAN **FREEMAN** Rev. J. M.

James Pickett, trick bicyclist, joined us November 26 at Terrill, Tex. His THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER tricks are far above the average, and the audiences are held in bewilderment during his turn. He sends regards to friends. Pearl Moppin, hoop roller and trombone player, is back after spending a vacation in Chicago. His act is still a great hit. Mr. James Wise, our stage manager, is wearing the smile that won't come off, as he has staged the very best colored minstrel show under canvas in Uncle Sam's domain, barring none. Mr. William Worlds Davis is now featuring his latest song hit which was composed by himself, entitled "Uh, Uh, Bear, Put That Gun Down." He never fails to score. Prof. McCamon is rapidly recovering from an extra severe attack of tonsilitis, which laid him up over two weeks. Watts Brothers, comedy acrobats, have just added a new foot and shoulder balance feature to their turn, and it is very dangerous but grand. These talented young artists are worthy of much praise. Certainly the audiences appreciate their turn, judging from the applause nightly. RUBY THEATRE, GALVESTON TEX. The show is drawing large crowds, and everything is running smoothly. Mr. Dave Liston, the silver-toned tenor and sweet singer, had the house with him when he sang, "When the Moon Is Down on you and I, Love." The barber shop chord by Miss Lelia Duson carried the house by storm. Next comes everybody's favorite, the one Buddle Glen. That great team of Tansel and Tansel, in a sketch entitled "Change in a Minutes and a Half," set the audience wild. Miss Vergie Crawford captured the hearts of the audience by singing "I am Going to Get Another Man, That's all." Mr. Charles Helm, the musical director, is playing some fine overtures and other selections on the piano. He is accompanied by Mr. Albert Lewis with traps and other musical instruments.

William H. Simmons. Special to THE FREEMAN. Special to THE FREEMAN. Last Thursday evening a very pretty and pleasing comedy was given under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. entitled, "The Milk Maid's Convention." It was immensely enjoyed by the large audience present. The young ladies played their parts in a commendable manner and were warmly received. A handsome sum was realized for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A....Sunday was a great day at Wilberforce. Mrs. Amanda, Smith found the founder of Amanda Smith's Orphans' Home, located at Harvey, Illinois, near Chicago, and a great evangelist, preached the morning sermon. A large audience greeted her including many visitors. Her sermon was full of thought and was characteristic of this illustrious and wonderful christian woman. Splendid music was furnished by the college choir under the direction of Prof. Simpson. Mr. James Hatcher and Miss Nina Kelley sang a duet which was enjoyed by all. Sunday evening services were held under the auspices of the local missionary society, with Miss Halle Q. Brown as the speaker. Miss Brown delivered a splendid address on the "Great Missionary Convention held at Edinburgh, Scotland," to which she was a delegate, representing the Mite missionary society of the A. M. E. church. Her talk contained many good things relative to missionary work in England and Scotland and the wonderful progress made in mission work in this country. Her remarks showed evidence of very close observation and thought, and it was a rare treat to listen to such a masterful address from such a scholarly woman. An offering was taken for the Amanda Smith's Orphans' Home and a neat sum was realized ... The students are all excited over the approaching game with Frankfort Thanksgiving day, on the grid iron and a battle royal is expected. Close followers and critics of the game are of the opinion that the varsity will put up a stiff game against their formidable rivals. The students will be there with yells and songs, and a great day is predicted.... Messrs. John Maye and Clarence Lee, former graduates, are here for a few days en route to the South. ...This is examination week and the closing up of the first term. The second term will open Tuesday, November 29....President Searborough will leave for the East in a few days. He will make his headquarters at Boston and New York City....Prof. C. H. Johnson, of Wilberforce University, organizer of the Laymen's Missionary Movement, spent last Sunday in Cleveland in the interest of the laymen's work. On Monday morning he met the colored ministers of the city at Dr. H. C. Baley's church to arrange plans for the completion of laymen's campaigns in Ohio. Large results are expected to be realized in the interest of missions from this visit....The church of the Holy Trinity of Wilberforce University, continues to progress under the leadership of her entertaining and scholarly minister, Rev William S. Holden, B. A., F. C. I. The services are high-class; the music is superb and the offerings outrival those of past years. People come from far and near to attend our church. The church boards have been reorganized, and the officials have aided the minister materially in the success attained.....On Sunday morning last, Mrs. Amanda Smith, of Chicago, spoke. In the evening, Mrs. Hallie Q. Brown, who brought $13,000.00 for Wilberforce University and $7,000.00 for Mrs. Smith's Orphans' Home, delivered a very interesting address before a large gathering in the college chapel, on her trip abroad. This meeting was held under the auspices of the Women's Mite Missionary Society of Wilberforce.....Thanksgiving service was held in the auditorium on Thursday morning last. The attendance was large. IS THE CHURCH LIVING UP TO ITS OPPORTUNITY? There are those who think of the church as a sort of social organization, just as they think of organizations for strictly social purposes. The fact makes for one of the opposing forces of the church's spiritual growth. The careless observer may fall to reduce down to this cause, yet he knows that there are people who feel that they would not be welcomed in many congregations, charging this feeling to first one cause and then another. The fact is that the church at this day too nearly selects its members as the select sets select theirs. The otherpeople are informed that they are welcome, and that salvation is free—without price, yet there are other means of informing the would be communicants that they would feel more comfortable somewhere else. Perhaps no such direct speech has really taken place; that is to say, those or similar words may not have been used, but actions answer in these cases, and for the better, since it would be exeremely pitiful if persons were driven to such recourse in order to maintain their own in the competition for popularity of congregations. This condition is not of the white congregations alone. Congregations of colored people have seen fit to show the society line in church matters. ```markdown ``` How far may a church go in the matter of exercising a censorship of the members as it regards their social standing? Not long since a certain pastor and church members were severely criticised for using their influence in behalf of a member who had fallen by the wayside. It was thought to be "simply awful." When in fact the church was at the time rendering its very best services. The object it appears to us should not be so much to save the reputation of the society but to save the individual; first for the here and then for the hereafter. If those who opposed had their way the individual would have been lost to the here since compassion would have been denied, and of course to the hereafter, for he would have had small faith in the promises of God which has so much to say of the despised and cast out. Christ came to save the unsaved, "Come filthy" and so forth. It is not understood that the individual is to stay filthy. It must be admitted that this phase of the church question is dangerous to discuss. But men think over it in their hearts. The convicted criminal will never be accepted in most of the church organizations excepting over protest, and which never downs. And in the conflict between the congregation and the unfortunate individual he is worn out, and withdraws in the end leaving the church organization triumphant as to the purity of membership. The illustration is of the kind when the individual does not measure up in society. To put it plainer and perhaps more acceptably the reception accorded a class when entering the church is not the same as that accorded another class. These little distinctions are noted by those who would also be of the fold and as a consequence the church body unconsciously fights back as it beckons on, stands in its own light. The sentiment of the church as a body, however, should not be expected to rise higher than the majority of sentiment of the individual members. According to the commonly accepted religious notions the church body is more than the individual, because it stands for the Christ idea when thinking of the Christian religion which insists that the highways and hedges be sought out as the lurking places of sin—the slums where society is not. Unless the individual churchman sees it that way, the collective church will see it but a precious little better. And perhaps Tolstoi saw something of the condition spoken of. He saw perhaps that in spite of a common religion that men went their several ways, that the rich still kept their wealth, that the high and powerful still built a Chinese wall about their society and that so far as a panacea for alleviating the physical sufferings of man it was not doing what it could do. He was one in ten thousand to confess a condition which he plainly saw. He did not see vastly more than other men. Other men have been con- Southern Vaudeville Circuit! $100,000 BACK OF IT.

Langford and Joe Jeanette will go it for a twelve-round go in Boston at Armory A, December 6th. Battling Nelson was put out in the eleventh round of a scheduled twenty-round glove contest at Los Angeles by Owen Moran, last Saturday. Evidently he couldn't come back. The case against Jack Johnson in New York was dismissed. Johnson was recently arrested for striking a white girl, but there seems to be nothing of it. There will be no bullfights or other entertainment at Nuero Laredo, Texas, for a month or more. The fair, which was scheduled to open there on November 27, was abandoned upon orders from the government. * * * The boxing game, which has been dormant since before the Jeffries-Johnson fight, was revived last week when Danny Webster, bantamweight, of Los Angeles, gained a twenty-round decision over Charley White, of Chicago. The exhibition was a poor one. * * * A total of twenty-two dead and forty seriously injured and more than 400 less seriously injured, was the price paid for foot ball by its followers during the season just closing despite the use of the new rules, which were brought into being in an effort to reform the game and make it less perilous to the players. Ad Wolgast will be in high society when he does his training in the future.

Recently Cotton has been improving so rapidly in his fighting that the critics of Pittsburg seem to think he will knock out Kublak. *** Billy Dunning, of Millnocket, a heavyweight boxer, who four years ago fought the present champion, Jack Johnson to a ten-round draw, died recently, following a boxing bout with Jack Leon, of Bangor, in which Dunning was knocked out. The victim did not recover consciousness. An autopsy will be held tomorrow to determine the cause of death. * * * Phil Brock, of Cleveland, the lightweight pugilist, today signed articles to meet Jack Redmond, of Milwaukee, and Danny Goodman, of Chicago, in ten-round bouts. The first match will be fought at Akron, O., on December 8, and four days later Brock will meet Goodman, near Cleveland. Brock announced that if he beats these two fighters he will challenge Ad Wolgast for the championship and a $5,000 side bet. *** A boxing exhibition before 1,500 men at Akron, O., last week was opened with prayer. It was an unusual occurrence. The Rev. W, E. Biedlerwolf prayed for the athletic club, the spectators and the city officials. He said: "I have had the gloves on a few times myself and I like the boxing sport." Johnnie Kilbane, of Cleveland, won the newspaper decision in a ten-round go with Ben Kaufman, of Philadelphia. ```markdown ``` BOSTON.—Joe Woodman, manager of Sam Langford, is in receipt of a letter from Hugh McIntosh, the Australian fight promoter, in which McIntosh offers to give Jack Johnson $15,000 and expenses for his end of a fight with Langford, to take place in London during coronation week. In the letter McIntosh asks Woodman to make every possible effort to close the match with Johnson.

They explained they had heard Stanley was beaten to death and not shot. The brothers reported later that they found the bullet holes and also evidence of a club having been used about Stanley's head. The body was immediately reburied. As a move against the poolrooms and handbooks throughout the country announcement was made by the local racing association that beginning November 25th the telegraph companies would not be allowed to send out any betting prices from Moncrief Park, Jacksonville, Fla. According to the manager of the association the matter will be adjusted in a day or two so that newspapers will be able to handle the results promptly and fully from the track. Sam Langford was bested by Jack Curley in New York the other day in a slashing ten-round bout at the Metropolitan Athletic Club. It was a slugging match from start to finish. Langford floored Curley in the second round with a terrible left to the jaw just as the bell rang. Curley came back in the third stanza and from there to the close of the fight he was on the aggressive, forced the fighting at all times and had the best of the milling. In the fifth Curley landed a wicked right to the jaw and Langford went down for the count of nine. Both boys were game and not afraid to take a blow to give one, and the members saw one of the best slugging matches of the season. FRAMEUP, SAYS JOHNSON. Pugilist to Fight White Actress's Charge of Assault. NEW YORK—Jack Johnson, the Negro champion heavyweight pugilist, of the world, was arrested last week on a warrant issued by Magistrate Freschi, charged with assault upon Emily Cooper, a white girl who is a member of the company in which the prize fighter is appearing. The complainant did not appear, but sent word that she was ill in bed, and the hearing was adjourned until today. The charge was one of simple assault and disorderly conduct. "This thing is a frameup," said Johnson. "I'm going to fight it to a finish and show them that I'm no easy mark." McINTOSH'S OFFER TO JOHNSON, MAY FIGHT IN ENGLAND. Fifteen Thousand Dollar Guarantee for His Presence on the Other Side. BOSTON.—There still is a chance that the much-discussed battle between Jack Johnson and Sam Langford for the heavyweight championship of the world may take place. The latest proposal is to hold the fight in London next week, when the metropolis will be jammed with visitors to the crowning of King George. Joe Woodman, manager of Langford, has received a letter from Hugh McIntosh, the Australian promoter, in which McIntosh offers Johnson $15,000 and expenses as his share of the fight with Langford. McIntosh urges Woodman to make every effort to get Johnson to agree to the match. McIntosh's only proviso being that Johnson shall post a $15,000 guarantee that he will appear in London at the time set for the battle. KAUFMAN GOES WEST. Thinks He is the Man to Meet Johnson—Will Meet Lang or Langford In the Near Future. NEW YORK—Al Kaufman has left for California, where the boxing game has been revived and will probably thrive for some time to come. One of the Frisco promoters wants Kaufman to meet either Bill Lang or Sam Langford in a twenty-round bout some time before February. It will be recalled that Langford declared off the bout with Kaufman in Philadelphia last August for personal reasons, while Acting Mayor Mitchel prevented Kaufman from boxing Lang at the Falmmount A. C., in New York. Later Kaufman outpointed Lang, who broke his hand, in a six-round bout in Quakerville, but the victory was by no means impressive. Kaufman can easily convince the sporting world that he is the only white man entitled to a fight with Jack Johnson if he can defeat Lang and Langford, and as he thinks he can do the trick, the Frisco promoters will be after his signature as soon as he arrives. Langford has just signed to fight fifteen rounds with Jeanette in Boston on December 6, while Lang will probably meet Tony Ross at New Orleans some time next month. Langford, by the way, is anxious to mix it with Lang. Hugh McIntosh, incidentally, wants Kaufman, Langford and Lang to visit England and France in January to take part in bouts under his management. MARTIN SHERIDEN ARRESTS JOHNSON FOR STRIKING GIRL Champion Athlete Serves Warrant on Champion-Heavyweight Pugilist Accused by Actress. NEW YORK. Nov. 25—Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, was arrested this afternoon by Martin Sheridan, champion allround athlete of the world, on a warrant charging Johnson with attacking Emily Cooper, a white girl. Sheridan is a policeman, attached to the West Side Police Court as warrant officer, Emily Cooper is an actress. She appeared in the West Side Police Court THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. a week ago, and upon her allegation that Johnson pushed her and struck her a warrant was issued. Sheriden, who is as big as Johnson, tucked the warrant away in his pocket and went out looking for the negro puglist. Johnson was out of town until yesterday. Getting arrested has come to be a habit with Johnson. When he sees a policeman approaching he reaches for his coat and hat. He went to the Police Court with Sheriden and gave bond for his appearance. This is the second time Johnson has been arrested in New York on a charge preferred by a woman. He was also arrested charged with assault upon Norman Pinder, diminutive negro, who failed to appear when the case came to trial after Johnson had been indicted. The assault complained of by Miss Cooper, who is plump and blond, is alleged to have been committed in Johnson's office in the Gaiety Theater Building on Nov. 14. Johnson was engaging performers for a company he was to take on the road and Miss Cooper applied for a job. DIXIE KID LOSES TO WILLIE LEWIS. White Pugilist Has Colored Fighter in Bad Way in Eighth Round. NEW YORK—In a ten-round bout Willie Lewis, who recently was whipped by Dixie Kid, came back and turned the tables on the negro welterweight before a crowded house at Tom O'Rourke's National Sporting Club the other night. The white fighter had the better of all the rounds with the exception of the second, third and tenth, which belonged to the colored scraper. At times the fighters gave a wiered exhibition, and to many it appeared as if both men were pulling their punches or purposefully shooting wide of the mark. Considering the heavy bonbarding that now and then punctuated the encounter, it is probable the bout was fought on its merits. Dixie surprised the fans in the two opening sessions by outboxing Lewis. There was little damage done, but the welterweight champion landed the cleanest punches and made Lewis miss more leads than he himself sent wide of the mark. Lewis began to "come in" after the second round and till the ninth session had the better of the milling, having Dixie Klq weak in the eighth. In the tenth and final round Dixie came out of his shell and fought Lewis off his feet, but did not do enough to overcome the advantage gained by Lewis from the third to the ninth round. In one of the greatest mills between paperweight seen in this district since the old Horton law days, Barry Hill the former metropolitan 105-pound champion, defeated Young Reilly. Hill almost had Reilly out in the fourth round—the final session—the fifteen-year-old fighter taking the count four times. Hill's bulldog battling and Reilly's lightning and clever boxing had the crowd stirred to a frenzy. To those who had seen Reilly in former battles he appeared to be stale. The youngster has been fighting two and three times weekly and seems to be losing his snap. Still, he kept Hill busy for two rounds. The beginning of the end came in the third, when Hill scored a clean knockdown. In the final session Hill's heavy smashing battered Reilly to the floor four times, the bell saving him from a sure knockout. Such corking milling was put up, however, that the boys were cherred for several minutes. It was announced that they had been matched to meet at the same club in two weeks. With two weeks' rest Reilly should regain his snap—Illustrated Record. The fans were surprised to see Danny McKetrick and not Kid McKoy in Lewis corner. Lewis is back in the McKetrick stable and has thrown McCoy's silks into the discard. In the first round there scarcely was a blow struck, Dixie getting in most of the few shots that did reach home. The colored scraper, contrary to his usual wild walloping, showed good boxing skill, ducking or blocking most of Lewis' leads and, while missing-many blows, getting home a few good ones. Dixie completely outboxed Lewis in the second session, but in the third Lewis instructed to wade in, began to turn the tide. Lewis also began to rough it, repeatedly heeling his opponent. Lewis took the third, fourth and fifth sessions, but at times was forced to back up. For the first five rounds the fighting was tame In the fifth round the men fought by bulldogs, both getting home some solid punches. Lewis had all the better of the round, however. He staggered Dixie with a left chop and shook him more with lefts and rights to the head and body. Dixie landed a hard over hand left and followed it with a right to the heart, but Willie came back with stinging lefts and rights that made Dixie back up. The seventh round also belonged to Lewis, and in the eighth he had the colored scraper in a bad way. In that round Lewis would stick up his left paw and push Dixies head up out of the crouch, following the manoeuvre with a right cross that jarred if it did not hurt the Negro. Willie hammered Dixie hard in this session and it looked as if he had the negro on the run. Just before the bell Dixie rallied and slowed up Lewis some. Dixie was tired, however, when he went to his corner. In the first minute's fighting in the ninth round no damage was done, and the crowd yelled for action. Both men missed frequently and allowed glaring openings to pass unnoticed. In the tenth round Dixie came out of his lethargy and did some real fighting He opened with a hard left to the ribs and shot a left and right to the face, which Lewis blocked. Dixie brought up a hard right to the jaw and pushed Lewis to the ropes. Willie slipped to the floor, but was up in a jiffy. They clinched, and Lewis brought his elbows into play in approved George McFadden style. Dixie swung a left to the jaw and followed it with a crushing right. Wille covered up and retreated under a fusillade of punches. A right cross to the jaw reached home and Willie wobbled. In the last minute's fighting Lewis was kept backing up under the colored scrappers charges. The final round was Dixie's, but the fight went to Lewis for his showing in the preceding rounds.—Illustrated Record. JACKSON, TENN. Special to THE FREEMAN. The old folks concert at.
