OUR MID-SUMMER REDUCTION IS NOW ON, THE FREEMAN ONE YEAR FOR $1 UNTIL SEPTEMBER FIRST, YOU SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY AT ONC THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER INDIANAFOLIST YOUNG WOMEN GRADUATES OF CLARKE SCHOOL (By R. W. Thompson.) Bureau of the Freeman, 1004 S. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10.—The twelfth annual commencement of the Clark Training School was held at Gailbrath A. M. E. Zion Church, Wednesday evening, June 16, 1984, and the exercises were of an unusually high order. Mrs. Addie R. Clarke, the indebtable principal, presided over the ceremonies. Rev. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of Gailbrath, delivered a practical address to the class on the necessity for secure life and aroused his hearers to a high pitch of enthusiasm. While urging the classical education for those able to secure and use it, he also urged for that the masses must work with their hands, and in order that this work shall bring the desired results in money and satisfaction to patrons, the training under the most capable auspices. The Clarke Training School was organized at a modest scale in 1889 by Mrs. Adela Clarke, who has been grown from North Carolina to the city and has grown year in number in statistical data and has wielded an increasing influence in inducing the to look upon the once despised domestic and the trades with the proper prizes, and with the dressmaking, millinery, houndering, the waiting, care of table linen and accessories, general housework and a study of any profession. Through her connection with leading society ladies of the nation's central, Mrs Clarke has been able to be active force in the Housekeeper All-Star competition for the subject of competition, helping for the wealthy, and thus she has found love and pleasant employment for all of her graduates who have cared to remain here, and who have gone elsewhere. During wave years of its existence the Clarke Training School has set out from its various departments—cooking, the laundry, dressmaking, millinery, and housekeeping—492 graduates, all whom have "made good." Numbers of the young women have gone into the dressmaking and millinery business for themselves, at good salaries in families, and at educational institutions in the South. Mrs Clarke's lady of pleasing personality, is enthusiastic, and the briefest interview carries the conviction that she is in need of the unfit of the promising young women, not now that it is on the wave of preparation for undergone untold sacrifices to day was the school going at times when the school going at times when it is on the wave of preparation for having lent the faith and gone past. Day and evening classes are arranged. Mrs Clarke's school is located in 200 P Street, the most colorful section of the city town open is the first Monday in Sententia, and for next year is all gratifying large classes. harmony" Among Leaders Must "Stay Put." more than present the heartiest accord among these popularly described as the higher officers conferred by the administration and the office of the public work that nothing but defeat lies in bickering and factional strife. We have passed down the line from no grievance source that no prerogative should be aired at the extent of the cause. The differences between individuals they must be adjusted "on the side" and not made the subject of public discussion or display. Newspapers are not the proper forum for the exhibition of petty jealousy and the accompanying must not move the trenchcoat tensions for the overthrow of the more successful, if they hope to preserve their standing with the "powers that be." It is not the case that they will wantonly destroy the entente d'ordre necessary to effective work, because of personal pique, spite or narrowness of the audience. The full strength of the instanter. The full strength of the instanter is needed for the battle that lies before the party and the race, and the no "dog-eat-dog" policy will be permitted—nor shall it be. At present there is harmony at every stargectic point in the line-up. The political generals, catching the cue, are heading united armies, and the men are united in their fortells gratifying results. And this "harmony" must stay put, it is said, or a drum-head court martial will have a day early in the campaign. The old slogan, "the assessee," non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity," is the order of the hour. Negroes of the Nation for President Taft. No appreciable opposition to the renomination of President Taft has made its appearance in any State. All visiting men and women, and all States, vote, agree that the President will have the solid support of the Negro Republicans. They regard Mr. Taft as a man of conscience on all questions affecting the nation on our race, and are willing to entrust the destinies of the republic to his hands for the future, real retention of many faithful servicemen, the stallation of worthy men in new places and his unhesitating approval of all of the measures pending in Congress, having their object the heartening of the Negro people having the doubters to the true character of President Taft; and those at first inclined to oppose him have now become his most powerful opponent in the statesmen and his own administration. He is disappointing only those who have tried to use him to further some selfish end. Will Taft be able to remain a statesman and a patriot—every inch of him in 1912, the colored voters will stand by him in 1912. Governor Pinchback Under the Civil Service. Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, of Louisiana, now a citizen of the State of New York, once appointed a special envoy to the interim executive at New York City, in charge of collecting the corporation tax, has been covered into the civil service by order of the governor, and the attention of the race's "grand old man" in the federal employ for life. The news will be gratifying to all who know of the splendid work this almost sole survivor has accomplished in the tempestuous reconstruction period following the civil war, when the future of the republic was trembling in the wake of the war, by the arbitriment of arms was still problematical. No appointment President Taft has made has endeared him more to the rank and file of the colored people in country than that of Ex-Governor Pinchback Steamer "River Queen" Burns The steamer, "River Queen," the only excursion boat at the disposal of colored patrons on the Potomac this summer, was burned to the water's edge late Saturday morning, like under a signal light at the stern of the vessel. The steamer, being old and dry, burned like under a signal light at the stern of the vessel, the crew was discovered to be saved, although the crew and the city firemen made a game fight. The loss is estimated to be fully $100,000, and the property in the syndicate that operates Washington Park, a river resort for colored people, and was under lease to a colored amusement park, was secure. A profitable business had been carried on by the Jefferson Company for several seasons. An effort will be made to secure the property of existing charters must be honored in some way. The "River Queen," rated to carry one hundred passengers, is a dispatch boat of President Lincoln during the civil war, and for nearly fifty years was used as an excursion boat for white people from Washington and Baltimore, after it was turned over to the colored people. Foraker for Governor of Ohio Foraker for GO Ohio leaders believe in harmony and who real, the real guaranteed article, are suggesting the advisability of nominating Former Senator Joseph Benson Foraker for governor of the Buckeye State. General Foraker is but sixty-five years of age and will be for a long time. It is calculated that he would make a runaway race if placed at the head of the ticket. It is argued that the President could in no more potent way repay the compliment Foraker has given Taft on the bench of the Superior Court at Cincinnati. Mr. Foraker has carried the State twice for governor, and it is believed by him that he would give a fine shape as he did in the old red-blood campaigns when he made the welkin ring. They say Ohio will not be reckoned as a doubtful State with Taft for president and Cincinnati, Governor Joseph Benson and Cincinnati to prominent colored Ohioans here, are urging the making up of such a combination. Recorder of Deeds Johnson "Smashes All Records." All records in the office of the recorder of deeds were smashed in the fiscal year (1911), according to a statement made by Colonel Henry Lincoln Johnson the affable and energetic record of the deeds of the district. The volume of business done an increase of 325 papers is shown in the total recordation of the past fiscal year over its predecessor, 1910, which had been the banner year in the history of the office. The number of papers filed for record between 1910, 1910, and June 30, 1911, was 252 256. The total receipts for the year in the office from all sources were $43,437.80, an advance of nearly $500 over the receipts of the previous best year in the ROBT T. MOTTS history of the office. By reducing the expenses of the past fiscal year by $157.59 the office was enabled to show a net reservation of $129.63. Congress ordered the purchase of twenty-five new book typewriters for making records, and this cost $3,883.50, which was paid out of the revenues of the office, and a balance of $9,082.87 covered the costs of the office and the remainder went to him. It is said that the office in good years was worth from $15,000 to $20,000 per annum. Later it was made a salaried office at the office of the president and above the cost of operating expenses and allowances by Congress for special obligations were paid into national treasury. There are a few places in the office where the record is greater portion of the employees are paid by the "piece," receiving one-third of the price charged for the papers recorded by the copyist. Each copyist is given all of papers received by the office and is completed and returned when his or her "day" comes again. Some of the more rapid writers e.g. as much as $100 per month; and some of the more difficult to be almost continuously employed. Recorder Johnson is making a determined effort to secure an advance for clerks and copyists, and his admirable showing for the current year will doubtless encourage access to grant his very proper request. ROBERT T. MOTTS DEAD GREATEST NAPOLEON OF THEATRICALS GONE WAS OWNER, BUILDER AND MANAGER Of the Famous Pekin Theatre at Chicago-Promoter of First Colored Theatre of America -Review of Brilliant Career. Just as Motts' Pekin Theater had closed its doors for the season, on July 9, his life had just begun to allude, on Monday morning at 1 o'clock his soul had passed into the unknown land of eternal b'less, in the presence of his sister, Lucy Lindsey at his late residence, 4110 Calumet avenue. In the life of Robert T. Motts there is but one story to be told, and that is the life as follows. At the achievements, through great odds, as a rule in the show, business, to a place of fame which created for him the distinction of a worthy life in which money had to feature, in order to reach a place of safety. Briefly sketched, the story of Mr. Motts' life was as follows. A young horse he was a trotting horse trainer, a young sporting men, policy, gambling and politics played a part in his financial up- building, but he was industrious to labor and had worked as porter for a colored buffet proprietor, whom he later bought out on the same spot where he built his Illness Was Fatal. The illness which caused Mr. Mott's death was leukemi, the blood turning to water, which was known to be fatal, and which asked him to make wills, his malady being curbed by the results of luxurious living, was most regretful, as Mr. Motts at the age of 50 years was not by any means an old man, but by a young man, and the period of his life. His death is also especially deplored because he had been a great friend to many men outside of the country, in addition to them out of more friendship and in building a reputation in the show business on State street. The greatest inspiration he got in his last days from men who have proved to understand these different branches, was the writer, the first three men of his race he had ever had cause to note in that particular. Of his relatives, Tom Motts, and the writer, the first three men of the theatre, stood by him until the last. Mr. Motts' Brilliant Career as Manager. It would be a very hard matter to produce the stage history of Robert T. Motts in a weekly newspaper, a career so rewarding, so gooey and so thrilling a race builder that it should live in book history. His first thought of buildin ga theater was about seven years ago, and in 1994, he conceived the idea of turning his buffet into a concert hall after a rambling consultation with Fred Cary,雷达y Charges, and Westin W. Will Thomas, Will Sollier, Charles Marrs, Ed Hardin and others. His license had been revoked, and Fred Cary, who was his right-hand man, ably assisted him in getting the music hall on June 18, 1904, celebrating Derby Day and the first opening as a music hall vaudeville theater. Presented Wen Hise and Katie Milton and their two pickaninles, Eugene King and Leo Bailey. Wen Hise was then given charge of what can be termed a miscellaneous stock company, and stiving vaudeville alternately. The theater was then a music hall garden, a promenade gallerie, the swing manager, but after a fire had taken place, which partly ruined the interior, Mr. Motts and the stage remodeled and an extra cut been cut out entirely. This was really Mr. Motts first modern progressive effort in the show business. The spring of 1955 the Pekin was a result of the loss and as Bob Cole, the actor had said: "This is the beginning of the colored theaters." Fred Cary died during the early period of the Pekin and Mr. Motts then took up the entire management of his theater himself. He at once oint to compete with other places of amusement, and with a competition of his efforts pursued. He next made William Foster his act- manager and I. Ed Green, the act- merger, and just retired from Ernest Hogan's com- pany, sent for and said the highest salary ever. The first music comedy produced at the Pekin in its entirety, under the di- rection of Green, was the "Man from Continued on Page Four Negro Delegates Attend State Republican Convention—Civic and Political League Endorses Senator Bradley. By Lee L. Brown. (1006 West Chestnut St., Home Phone 8007-L.) Quite an interesting meeting was held at the Y. M. C. A last Sunday. The董事会, Dr. Emerson, who had charge of the meeting, did not become discouraged; he called on Rev. Dickerson, who delivered a short but interesting address. Prof. J. Smith, principal of Versailles public school, but it seemed as our school teachers in many cases do not extend to them the welcome hand that should be given them; the result is that when they leave the Sunday schools they find them in the hallway, vitting them and in most cases are led off into evil paths. He closed by saying that the parents should not send the children to the hallway, should meet them halfway, and Mr. Smith informed his listeners that his book, "Our Boys," will be off the press this week. Mr. Adams of Bloomfield made a few remarks. He mentioned his ent, gave an account of his visit to the recent world's Baptist Alliance, which met in Philadelphia, and which brought representatives from every quarter of the world. He mentioned the visit of an Englishman, who had visited his church Sunday, and who had attended the Baptist Alliance at the time that he was in Philadelphia. He was so impressed with her address that he was determined when he came to Kentucky to look her up. The performance of the girl mentalist, whose powers to mystify, entertain and impress an audience age 18 and above, has the largest audience of the season at the Baxter, 1053-1055 Bardstown Road, witnessed with amusement for over an hour this strange performance, which has rapidity has caused her to become a much-discussed person in Louisville. Since 1991 she has made predictions have been New York's masseuse the League, also the world's championship; Detroit in the American League, and Seattle City in the American League, and Columbus second the American League, third the Columbus second she has predicted the election to the governorship of Judge Gleason, who personally heard of Ita's performances in May at Mt. Sterling. ... Mr. John W. Hayes, of Bloomfield, Ky., a teacher in the public schools of Henderson, Ky., passed through the city last week to be the united warden to 65 of Henderson's most popular young ladies, Miss Sarah A. Rankin, Prof. Hayes is quite an energetic teacher, and she taught Douglass high school for the past two years, and is a graduate from the Normal school of Frankfort, Ky. Mr. David Steward, the popular barber on Fifth street, was the victim of a thief last week, one who had been a trusted employee about his place for the James, who claimed Cleveland, Ohio, and Pittsburg, Pa., as his home. He left the city in a great hurry last week, having in his possession $65 belonging to Mr. Edward. He has been traced to Pittsburgh. --- Miss Elizabeth Inez Finney, one of the assistants at the Colored Branch Library, is enjoying a very pleasant vacation. --- Miss Lillian Crutfield, a teacher in the Night High School, left this week for New York City, where she will pursue a course in home economics. Miss Crutfield graduated a number of years ago from the S. T. Taylor's School of Dress Making in New York City. Mrs. Emma Lang, of West and Chestnut streets, has been appointed as nightwatchman in the girl's building of the Louisville Industrial School, Third and Avery streets. Mrs. Bessie Allen is arranging for the annual newsboys' picnic, quite a number of merchants have made very liberal donations. Miss Bessie Pickens, solicitor of the Kentucky Home Society for Colored Children, is enjoying a pleasant vacation in Chicago. Ill. Miss Addle May Yarnell, of Georgetown, Ky., is visiting her relatives, Mr. and Mrs. George Yarnell, 412 West Brook street. Mrs. Mary Mulligan, of West Baden, Ind., is sojourning in the city on a very pleasant visit to her sister, Mrs. M. Force. Quite a number of friends were highly entertained the Fourth of July at a private picnic, given for Miss Susie Stevenson and Mr. Ralph Wilson. Mrs.orge Brown and Master George Redd, of 317 Hancock street, are sojourning for the summer in Chicago, Ill. Grand Master T. I. Brooks, of Frankfort, Ky., and Grand Secretary T. J. Smith, of Versailles, Ky., passed through the city en route to the Odd Fellows' Grand session at Owensboro, Ky. A large number of Odd Fellows from all over the state of Kentucky joined the Louisville delegation at Owensboro, where the State Session will be held. The Baptist Women's Mission Society convention met last week at Owensboro, the fast becoming a convention city. The Chantaqua will begin in a short while; the management has employed some of the best speakers and entertainers in the United States for the occasion. Last week was rather a dull week in the Falls City; but it is quite different this week. The city is filled with strangers, a part en route to the G. U., a part in town, a number of conferences at Owensboro, this week; while the delegation is sojourning for a few hours in the city after spending a week at the Women's Baptist Missionary convention, a number of prominent men are in the city attending the Republic state convention. --- Another evidence of what Central high school graduates are doing is demonstrated in the person of Miss Florence from the Central high school three years ago, and which she entered the Hampton Institute at Hampton, Va., where she pursued a course in normal and domestic science. She studied in the study she meted by her faithfulness as a graduate diploma. She has already secured a very excellent position as a teacher in domestic science at Denton, Md., was also hired by the Hampton Institute, which is now in the course of erection near Shelbyville, Ky. Miss Anderson is the daughter of Dr. C. T. Anderson, a very successful physician of the city, the guest of her grandmother, Mrs. Saunders, and Attorney Isaac E. Black, 2228 West Magazine street. We have received, since becoming corpse-piece from school, a number of catalogs from school, a sample of pieces and pieces of mail of every description. We desire to thank those who have been so kind in sending this mail matter, have read all with care and in a number of cases have sent personal letters. . . . Mr. Cary B. Lewis, who was in the city a short time ago, introduced us to managing the Louisville Daily News. We were in the suit him at a special time. He advised that we send in some items in order that he might have a chance to judge this writing we are sending in our first item of news, also copies of articles that have appeared in The Freeman and this writing we are sending in xious heart to know his decision. He gave us to understand that what he wanted was the "news." We wish to assist and to help the public press such race tendency to uplift the race that we represent the place that if given a place with the Louisville Times we will use every effort to give to the public press such race tendency to uplift the race that we represent. Mr. Lewis was the first man to fill such a place as reporter for him that we owe our thanks for his kind recommendation to Manager Brown of the Times. In our next set of notes we do to be able to give you Mr. Brown's dislikes whether he will employ us as a reporter. A large number of delegates, numbering over 2,000, we in Louisville extend the State Republican convention. About twenty-five colored delegates are numbered in the list, Judge O'Rear's sure returns show that he has a majority of the delegates. Senator W. O. Bradley is certain to be the winner. We give below issues of the campaign as summarized by the Evening Post: Can any Prohibitionist be? either a Democrat or a Republican. Shall the County Unit Bill as contemplated by the Constitution become a law? Shall the liquor lobby block all legislators pledged to the opposite course? Did four liquor votes cast for Senator Bradley put the Republican party into control of the county and unholy alliance with the Beer Trust? Is the state to be ruled by the Third House, packed by the Beer Trust, the Republican Ring, an dthe Corporations generally? Is a Ring of Contractors, made up of Republicans and Democrats, to control the labor of the convicts in the penitentiary? Is Kentucky to make no effort to take the prisons out of politics? Is the Tobacco Trust above all law, commercial and statutory? Are the interests of the schools of less importance than the distribution of Federal funds? In short, is the election of 1911 less important to the Republicans of Kentucky than the election of 1912? The following is the gist of a letter sent to the press by Mr. G. W. Gentley, president of the Civic and Political League: "I am opposed to Judge O'Rear for the following reasons: "We want a man for our leader who will stand on the platform that the Reps make, and not a man who makes his own firm and invites the party to stand on it. "Judge O'Rear is backed by the Night Riders. "It is also reported that Judge O'Rear rendered a decision upholding the famous Day law, which robbed the Negroes of a tax exemption. A college which for the past forty years has done a noble and patriotic service in upholding the Negro race. Why not name a man who can claim, and who is not a slave, as the speakers of the Nominate Hon. E. T. Frank, of Owensboro. If you do he will be backed by a united party and victory will be certain that the Negroes of Kentucky should speak for the right as God gave them power to see the right and do the right. Let them speak out for their country's good, their state, their party and for them to respectfully, George W. Gentley, Standard Ky. 2 Board of Managers, S. S.

He mentioned the complaint which we have about no preparations for our own boys and girls, and yet fail to support such institutions that would provide lucrative and decent employment for them. Bishop Parks spoke in most commendable terms of the great progress being made by the Sunday School Union, and strongly urged that we continue to grow and develop until the dreams of those who have given life to our publishing interests are completely realized. He took occasion to assure the Secretary-Treasurer that if he would only keep up the great work he has been carrying on these three years, the Church to a man could be depended upon to stand by him. REPORT OF AUDITING COMMITTEE May 10, 1911. To the Chairman and Members of the S. S. Union Board of the A. M. E. Church. Dear Brethren: We your Auditing Committee, beg leave to submit the following report: We have examined the books, vouchers, checks and accounts, etc., of the Secretary-Treasurer of the S. S. Union for the year beginning April 1, 1910, and ending March 31, 1911, and we find them well and accurately kept, with every receipt and disbursement plainly shown, and accounted for. The remarkable amount of $42,234.96 in business, an increase of $6,685.92, all in one twelve months speaks well for the selection of the General Conference, who placed the plant in the hands of the present Secretary-Treasurer. The cancelled notes and mortgages presented to us of a $3,772 linotype machine, a $1,350 Cross Feeder, and a $210 job press, (exclusive of interest) is in itself an excellent proof of the capability of the present management. As to the data concerning all that has been done and all of which we have thoroughly examined, approve and commend, we respectfully refer you to the excellent report of Mr. Ira T. Bryant, the efficient Secretary-Treasurer. J. M. TURNER, RICHARD HILL, WM. H. THOMAS, B. G. GORDON. Received and adopted. AH HOO? AH HOO? AH HOC? AA THE AFRO-AMERICAN ORDER OF OWLS DR.

A band of colored boys, students of Eckstein Norton School, Cane Springs, Ky., were in Indianapolis last week. The band is on its annual tour and in the interest o the school. The little fellows are bright looking and cheerful, and then show the responsibility on them. They made music at several place over the city. The Negro who killed Chief of Police A. B. Craig and perhaps mortally wounded Jacob Kipper, night marshall, at La Junta, Colo., July 6, was captured at Rockyford and is now in jail there, surrounded by state troops. Shortly after the arrest of over one hundred gathered outside the jail and threatened to lynch Harris. A brass band, composed of little Negro boys in khaki uniforms, gave the State House officials and employees a concert. The boys were from the Exstein musical institute of Cincinnati, and they played of "Dixie" and "Marching Through Georgia" was roundly applauded.

It is admitted ever, that the Pullman Company is seriously considering the advisability of raisers to increase the number of the conductors and porters, the conductors to receive a five percent. increase and the porters a ten percent. increase. The rate of Pullman porters at this time are from $55 to $40 a month. They make most of their money in tips. The Defender. A recent dispatch from Meridian, Miss., says: "EX-Governor James K. Vardaman has been stumping the State in the interests of the candidate for the United States Senate, the attorney general and rancor than any previous political contest in the history of the State. When the former governor arrived in Meridian, he was met by a crowd of twenty thousand city and countryside.

"The ox cart carried Mr. Vardaman to his home. A orchbearer walked beside him. A hundred citizens on horseback preceded the soldier as servant as bodyguard. Five brass bands played the music. The candidate sat on a stand built in the cart. He was dressed in white and was the most conspicuous figure in the procession.".

"It must be borne in mind that Fred Patterson makes no capital out of the fact that he is a colored man. He has not attempted to commercialize his racial insults and solicits. He is not in business as a black man. He has not sold a black man's buggy. I doubt if in his talks to Negro professional men on the South he has ever referred to the fact that he is a black man in order to make good." . . . The announcement that the Pullman porters are to get an increase in wages on the colored railroad men into two factions. One faction is heartily in favor of the proposed increase, while the other is unalterably opposed to the claim that who have become enthulled on the colored railroad men would be paid more money assert that tips are not as frequent and as large as some years ago, and claim that if the Pullman people increase their monthly wages, they will, therefore, receive "living" wages. The porters who regard the increase plan with marked disfavo admit that they are not the company, but they argue that there is a possibility of the traveling public. In keeping with its policy of turning its large Negro schools over to the management, the American Baptist Home Mission Society has recently named Prof. Z. T. Hubert, of Atlanta, president of Jackson College. This fact, together with the information of Atlanta Baptist College, and the turning over of the new Roger Williams University over to Negroes gives the society a warmer place in the hearts of the colored people of the South, whom they have been accustomed to.

Ice in these days looks just like coal does in the dead of winter. Horse racing appears a trifle antique in these days of automobile and avia—? Some distinction in even being a tailender; not very much coveted, however. The announcement of the advance sale of furs gives one that uneasy feeling. It is to be hoped that the Pullman car decision of Judge Blanchard of Louisiana may not be taken as a precedent. The fish that are being put in the White river will have a show for their lives if they will stay above Georgia street. The Knights of Pythias Conclave in Indianapolis August 12-26 promises to bring about the greatest gathering of Negroes to the American continent. And now it is being said that Betsy Ross didn't make the first flag. The majority of this day, however, says she did make it. The majority rules in republics. They are making a great to do in New York over that city's first colored policeman. Suppose he had been a representative? Little old New York has got a long way to come. At this writing the weather is ideal from the viewpoint of those who delight in the means rather than the extremes. Balmy breezes filled with westful ozone shoot athwart, washing the heavens of the firstwheat heat that so sorely tried us a few days ago. The theory that the Maine was mined by the Spaniards is welligh exploded. The general belief is now that the explosion was internal, supported by the evidence so far, and by our own men. The findings of the naval experts are received in a sort of respectful silence, indicative of the awkward attitude in which the country is placed. Nothing will be changed, it is thought, owing to the investigation, since it is apparent that the inevitable happened, and that which was for the best. It, however, will be a lesson to the entire country—to the world—in caution and respect for "lesser breeds." James Whitcomb Riley the poet has exhibited his splendid generosity to the Indianapolis public by giving the school board property to the value of $75,000 on which to build a library. In the gift speaks the heart of the poet, who has not much share in things that do not contribute to general happiness. They are observed with the feeling to give, if not substance always, then health and life—and who bring health through affliction—God's physicians—who minister according to their offices to a world of indisposition. Not content with the good he has done, Mr. Riley now consents to render back the substance tendered him from time to time by the people. The citizens will hold him in grateful remembrance; will hold his gift in peculiar reverence, because in the gift he has doubly given. Old man Malthus' theory of the population encroaching on the land, thus reducing the area of food productivity, goes tumbling down in face of the skyscrapers of today. New York proposes a one hundred stories affair in addition to her many "architectural sensations." Man has found out, for truth, that there's plenty room at the top. It is a wonder that they did not go up long ago. Well, in the first place there were no necessity because of the great acreage per individual. With the growth of population this average acreage has been greatly reduced. Old man Malthus, political economist, thought he saw the day when the population would have nothing to eat because of the occupancy of the land by the people. He did not take into his calculations these modern houses where a whole village of folk may dwell under one roof. Then there's the water, with its Olympias and other monster vessels, that can remain ever at sea—and there is more water than land. Verily the old man was born too soon. A PURSE FOR TROTTER. We note that Wm. M. Trotter, editor of The Boston Guardian, will be tendered a purse by many of his admiring friends who have watched his toil and noted sacrifice in trying to bring salvation to the race. We think of Mr. Trotter as an earnest, honest man, who is laboring for his race in the way he thinks best. He has been cradled in the Boston atmosphere, where liberty has been ever the theme, where men are tenacious and jealous, fearful of invasion as a miser of his gold. He will not regard the greater outlook, not that he has not the ability. He is unwilling to entertain other than the one view, when in fact government is a matter of compromises. His stalwart raceism may, however, be of greater value than can be conceived at this time. Yet we dare say, that if his ideas were suddenly injected on the body politic they would spell catastrophe for the Negro race. His principles are sound enough; the man is impatient. Trotter would have all happen in a day; his impatience is notable, manifesting itself at times in petulance, chagrin and chronic pessimism, and we think a misanthropical tendency displayed where it would be as well to be otherwise. But with all that he has been a wheel horse in his way. He is deserving of what may come to him for his honest, earnest effort, and in the right direction, in the main. Of course, we take no stock in his faults and taunts at Booker T. Washington, aside from which we concede him his views on Negro education and his other views; opposing only his hurried effort in trying to do things. MASSILLON, O., July 11.—After one hundred policemen and deputy sheriffs armed with riot guns had resisted an attack for seven hours, Harvey Dickens, a Norwegian, took the jail at an early hour this morning for safekeeping. Mickens is charged with attacking Myrtle Evans, sixteen-year-old daughter of Richard Evans, a miner. He was shot and killed after a chase, in which a hand car and a locomotive were pressed into service. K. OF P. ON TO INDIANAPOLIS Great Preparations to Surpass All Former Encampments. Special to THE FREEMAN. Many of the society people of Chicago are making preparations to attend the big meeting. There is every indication to warrant a prediction that the largest number of loved ones will go to the encampment. The knights will have their own special cars and special rates. The slogan is "On to Indianapolis." --- The colored citizens of Chicago are in mourning over the death of Mr. Robert T. Motts, founder and owner of the Pekin Theater. Mr. Motts died Monday morning at the age of 88, in avenue. Miss Lucy Lindsay, Dr. Dan Williams and friends were at the bedside. Mr. Motts was ill about four weeks. He was a long-time resident of this world years ago, and came to this city about twenty years ago. He was one of the most widely known men in this country and a world-renowned artist to own and operate a Negro theater. During his business career in this city, Mr. Motts was able to amass quite a fortune. He was the owner of him one of the wealthiest colored men hereabouts. It was through him and his theater that the hundreds of Negro widows who came to see the Pekin has been a school for most of them that were and are now in vaudeville. He has launched several shows, was proprietor of the Pekin Theater, the director of the Western Vaudeville Association, the Theater Managers' Association and the Elks. He was held in high esteem by the community. He was known generally for his philanthropy. The funeral of Mr. Motts was held on Thursday of this week at Quinn Chapel, A. M. E. Church, and his lifelong friend, Donnie Clarke. Donnie joined On Thursday morning the double parlor at the Motts home were filled with large oral designs and flowers sent by his many admiring friends. The body was carried to Iowa, and laid to rest in the family lot. . . . The warm weather is causing quite a number of Chicago people and others from other parts of the country to hunt too place in the market. In recuperation, too place in the market. At Reservoir, Mich., is the place where the colored people are giling in large numbers. It is the most select place in America for colored people to go for a summer vacation. The people are giling in the beaches on the lake. Prof. W. H. Huffman, secretary of the resort, writes that the place has been renovated and the dining hall enlarged, and accommodations are made for guests. Many of the leading popl of Chicago have here on Saturday and take a lake ride, arriving at the resort early in the afternoon and remain until Monday in June. In one of the Lewis, editor of the Illinois Chronicle, has rented a tent for the "week end," to be known as "The Chronicle Rest." Many others have rented cottages for the entire week. Next to the resort is the palatial home of Attorney Edward H. Morris. In the same vicinity is the newly erect summer home of Attorney Franklin Denison, to be two of the finest summer homes owned by colored people in this country owned. Nearly two hundred students are taking courses at the Chicago University. Host of them are from the South. Chicago is expected to be filled with the usual number of summer visitors during the month of August. Colonel Marshall and the Eighth Regiment will go to camp in August at Springfield and the Eighth Regiment will take part in this regiment tournament. The Eighth is now making special preparations for the occasion. Governor Charles S. Deneen has appointed R. S. Abbott, William D. Neighbors, Rev. A. J. Cary, S. B. Turner, Julius F. Taylor and Cary B. Lewis, all newspaper men, to attend the Negro Educational Congress, which meets at Denver, in August. Edward Green and several other citizens here and over the State were among those sent by appointment of the governor. The Swastika Club held a reception on Sunday afternoon at the home of Miss Elizabeth Clark, 3812 Wabash avenue THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Mr. Myers, president of the club, read his annual address, which was followed by speeches from visiting club members. A colored man fell from the window at the southwest corner of Thirty-first and State streets, last week. The matter is being investigated. It occurred at the saloon, restaurant and theater. This is the same corner where the respectable colored people are ashamed to pass, on account of the roughness and uncouthness of its band of "loafers." Alfred Anderson, one of the leading lyric writers of this country and author of "Good Night," the same Smile, "Good Night, sweetheart," and a host of other song hits, is being urged by publishers of the East to come to York and anything not but write songs. Anderson is considering the mater, but it is likely that he will remain as clerk of Provident Hospital and write from this end. The "William Goats," one of the newest and yet most successful theatrical clubs in this section of the country, is in a most prosperous condition. They are members weekly. It has a brilliant future.

THE OTHER TEXAN. The whole of the United States and most of the English-speaking world have heard of Senator Bailey. of Texas, and his brutal “philosophy” recently utttered In the United States Senate, a body some times spoken of as the most dignified and august body in the world. Aceord- ing to Bailey, the Negro, in order to live in the presence of the white man, must accept the identical position with the horse, the dog and other domestics, and if he dares to bea man he must go the way of the buffalo, the rattlesnake and Other “critters and’ varmints’ which _elv- Mization' cannot. assimilate and~ must therefore destroy, ‘ut there is. the “other Texan,” of whom few may hear, because of the fian- cial necessities of our newspapers.

Jack Johnson has signed up to fight an injured, Patrick Curran, right on the sidetrack between August 1 and 5. The team are good scrappers and Johnson may have his hands full in his effort to add his "scalp" to his belt. The one Billy McClain, temporarily soaring in Buxelles, Belgium, has it that Jackson Johnson, who is three in the most prominent person in Europe.

JACK JOHNSON SIGNED UP AT LAST. Will Fight Patrick Curran In Dublin About the First of August. LONDON.

The winner will receive $25,000 and the loser $2,500. The winner also receives 45 per cent of the gate receipts and the loser has been deducted. The remaining 55 per cent is to be divided equally between Johnson and Tom Flanagan, Johnson's manager.

He is now train down to apple-pie condition in a fortnight. The site chosen sits 50,000 people. Curran will train at Belfast. He is now at Plymouth. The fight contract was signed by Flanagan for Johnson and by S. Adler for Curran. MEMPHIS TIGERS TAKE THREE PENSACOLA TEAMS TAKES ONE AT MEMPHIS, TENN. MEMPHIS, Teen—We had the Pensacola team here the 34 and 4th of July and took three games out of the four played. In Cummings sent Caley to the mound to hold up the reputation of the Memphis Tigers, and what he did to the boys from Florida was plenty. He held them down for five innings without a hit. Smiley got a hit for a base and stole three. Patton got a base on balls and stole second. Pew hit to first, which bounded over the fence. Bowie hit a ground ball to the tails. Broody and Crock hit for two balls, scoring two men. Bat Johnson singled and Blowen scored. In the second game Pensacola did not hit the ball, and it was on the mound for Memphis and it was a walk away for him, holding them down for seven innings without a score and only two hits. Bat Johnson, the best little man, the South is back home to stay awhile. Mendy, our fast center fielder, is home to stay. Blowen is cleaning them up at second base. Cummings is playing first. Robert is on third and is doing good work. Jason is the black T Cobb of the South. KANSAS CIT GIANTS WIN. Leland Giants Outclassed—Some Slugging Matches at Kansas City, Mo. KANSAS CITY, Mo.

The score stood 4 to 3 in favor of the American Giants in the eighth innning. Parks was on second base, Pete's strut, who turned and wielded to Wickens, who turned and wielded to second base, pocketing Parks between second and third. The ball was thrown to third base and Parks ran back up the ball and threw to first base. The ball was thrown to first base and Parks again started for third base, and Grant the first baseman of the Americans, threw to third to cate Parks. He threw to third to cate Parks and Parks rolled to the fence. Parks scored from third and Moore scored from second. Hill and several others of the American Giants rushed. The Chicago Giants decided to declare Parks interefered with the ball when Pryor hit him in the back going back to second base. The umpire declared Parks out and allowed Moore to score. The Chicago Giants decided to declare the ground that Pryor hit the runner in the back with the ball while the ball was in play and that Parks could not interfere the running with his back to the ground. The Americans played on Parks twice, lost him each time, still THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER they claimed he was out after he had scored. The umpire made no decision until after the two scores were made by the Chicago Giants, and finally forged a game to the American. The decision people in the grandstand that it was necessary for the police to escort the umpire from the grounds. The Chicago Giants have the series against the greatest odds and are the only umpire who could not be fair if he tried. Umpire Fitzpatrick lasted only one game. He was rotten to the core. He politely robbed the Chicago's outfit and game. Major R. N. Jackson. REVIEWING THE FIGHT CAPTAINS Match With Negro Opposed by Corbets Father—Jack Johnson Under Discussion in the Old A writer speaking on the early career of James Corbett, said: "When he was matched to fight Peter Jackson, Corbett's father filed an objection to Jim's ambition to become a pugilist, and also to his willingness to meet a Negro in the ring. The old man was fairly beside himself with rage over the young man he would have him arrested. But Corbett took his dad aside and said: "Now, father, I've signed articles to meet Jackson. True, he's a colored man, and I appreciate your feelings, but I've missed the fight without disgracing myself and losing the friendship as well as the money of a whole lot of good people. You prevent me from meeting Jackson, you insult him and fight him. You wouldn't want me to go off into a strange country where I wouldn't receive fair play, would you? It was too much for the elder Corbett, who shook his head and wauked away." Hurrah for Jim. Most of us have thought of him as being kid-gloved and wowed, but he isn't always tell. Corbett was the most genteel of them in the business. They taunted him with being a banker. He had capacity I am not prepared to say. My impression is that he was a clerk. He was very much different to John Sullivan, the blusterer, whom he put out business. He wouldn't fight a "nigger" or attack women, nor casually reflecting, it would have been just the other way. This same writer, speaking of Jeffries, had the following: "Jeffries began his business career as a boilermaker in Los Angeles. He was fond of swinging the heavy hammer and used it to break his strength. Jim was never in the habit of looking for trouble, but when it was up to him he generally sailed in and won. He was also a strong fighter. Jeff soon gained a reputation for his rough and ready fighting ability, so that very few cared to cross his path. Los Angeles with a challenge to meet all comers. The boys in the boiler factory coaxed Jeff to take a chance with the dusky boxer. Jim knew nothing of the Negro fighters, but could rush and hit with the power of a mule's kick. So he tackled the darky, and after the latter had exhausted his strength, he headed the body the big California rushers at the Negro was almost annihilated. Then it was that Jeff got the prize fighting bee from Frisco, where he knocked out Dot Long, a local fighter of some reputation. Jeffries says he really learned how to fight when he was helping to train Corbett for the memorable battle at Carrion. Tex Rickard, the well-known promoter, is offering a purse of $50,000 for a go with Jack Johnson. He believes Johnson will win fifteen-minute rest between nouts. The proposition presents some charming possibilities. Why wouldn't Jim Flynn and Jack fight against the Ace of Spades? Flynn would take a world of wallops, and is a rough, wearing sort of battler. Jack probably would get him, but he'd have to hit a lot of him, while he was doing the job Jim might get. He kind that took all the starch out the 240-pound Kauffman. If he made Johnson step as fast as he could for about ten punishments himself, that would bring Johnson about to a condition where Langford would have an even chance. Sam clever and hits rike a mule kick on the kick, and damper on the kick. He might be able to get Johnson under those conditions. And then he'd have to split the honors for the world's championship. Flynn's claim that he put Johnson in condition for a licking couldn't be denied. They'd get together and fight it out and Jack Johnson would come back and beat the winner. The writer says further: Hugh McIntosh, the Australian promoter, who blake into the hive his first chance to ship probability when he matched him to fight Tommy Burns for the title, now who is destined to find the man who will test his ability of the black usurper and restore it to the white race. He certainly has the courage of his convictions, and in prosecution, is matching between Johnson and Bombardier shown a commendable willingness to give eligible aspirants for the title a chance to play the task. Apropos of which he says: "I am more convinced than ever that, in time, success will reward my humble efforts." I base this opinion largely on the ever increasing interest now being taken in all sections by the public in the noble that I have already and also the fact that giving him a chance to show his ability to at least one boxer of whom the old country has ever reason to feel proud of. "In Wells England possesses a boxer who may very easily, indeed, grow into a world's champion. With the advantage of youth on his side Wells is today one of the most improved boxers I have seen. He is a very good boxer he figured a mere novice in the ring. Today he possesses a real knowledge of ring tactics and generalship, and when I saw him defeat Dan Flynn at Olympia, a few weeks ago, I could hardly believe who, more than anyone at the same person, were tasting defeat at the hands of Sera. geant Sunshine in the autumn of last year. "In defeating Flynn at Olympia he defeated one of the best men in the business, and not merely a second rater, but won that fight soley by an exhibition, who really clever boxing, the frequent use of his straight left, and a close observance of the position she held unchallenged for a long tale of years, that of producing the finest fighters in the world. " Beyond all doubt Wells is a great fighter, who go far to enhance England's reputation as the home of the world's best boxer. "I am not suggesting for an instant that today Wells would have any more than a very remote chance of defeating a very remote Johnson or Sam Langford. But in a few years he may easily do so, for, while the white man is only in his twenty-third year, and cannot therefore be expected to have a chance of defeating Johnson, several years older, while Johnson is ever thirty, an age at which the history of the ring conclusively proves that most men begin to train off. And when a fighter starts to lose, the ring rule, he does so at a pretty rapid rate. The source of information said Jack intends to mix in three fights on the field, including a hardier Wells and two in France, one of which will be Sam Langford. Johnson will also sign an agreement with Hugh McInnis the forfeited motor, to take part in these battles under the promoter's conditions and McInnis will join Johnson $2,000 for his end to meet Wells.

WOLGAST WINS. Gets in the Big Money—$32,000 is His Share. Net. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-The box office receipts for the Wolgast-Moran fight were $22,000. Wolgast was boxing for a guarantee of taking 40 per cent of the gross receipts. Inasmuch as 40 per cent, totaled more than the guarantee, he accepted the latter. Owen Moran was boxing with or draw. This left 30 per cent, the promoters of the match. Coffroth and Moran have the moving picture rights, as Jones and Wolgast have sold out their interests. Under this arrangement the boxers and promoters shared in the receipts as follows: Wolgast, $12,800; Moran, $9,600; club, $9,600. Tom Jones and Wolgast cleaned up $8,100 in bets, the claim of Betty Moran that a foul blow on his battle for the lightweight champions is given scant consideration in local sporting circles. Every spectator who was in position to see the body blows landed below the belt line and that none landed below the belt line and that ran was knocked out as fairly as any boxer ever was. It was the same kind of a wallop which matched victory from the other side when "Ruby" Robert Fitzimmons sent home his famous splexus. It was fairly, but that his victory was due to a line of campaign carefully mapped out before the battle is apparent from a remark made by Manager Tom Jones just before the match. "Ad will hit Moran so often in the stomach that he will be ready to either cry quits or go down for the count, as the manager of the champions, said the manager of the champion. SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
