Some say that Evans will be dismissed in the court, while others predict that he will be held to the Grand Jury. Your correspondent has adopted a plan to send only such news items that he believes to be true. The case is not in the case. As the facts develop we will report them. As to our personal opinion we do not believe that it would be or interest to our readers, for every one of the news items we want is real facts, with prejudice towards none. The case was called in Police Court last Thursday morning after the coroner's jury had said that it would be wrong to hold Evans over to August 1, with $5,000 bail. At this writing Evans is out on bail. In next week's issue we will give the facts regarding Tuesday's trial in Police Court. * Mr. George Slaughter saved every copy of The Freeman that he had last week.

Those journals, however, should feel it a duty to set forth something of hope- fulness and cheer as well the pessi- mistic. There are many things to be spoken of that is without the gloomy cast noted in the articles referred to. ‘To speak of the race at its best at times is no less a duty than that of harping on one string. If the Africans must see pictures of Negro life in America, why not give them a complete picture—averaging up conditions? It is due the Negroes of America that they be faithfully represented, due the African Negroes who look for light for guidance owing to the complicated sit uation of their own country, True enough, there are civil irreg. ularities here and there, now and then that put some o fthe American Negroes to a great disadvantage. Mobs are known, but they are not general. We make no excuse for them, hoping only to state conditions plainly and truth fully. This is the age for plain deal ing. The veneer and gloss of deception have about had their day.

It would require volumes to speak just- ly and accurately of the accomplish- ments of tho Negroes in America since the days of slavery. In fact, when one writes the history of the progress of ‘the American nation the Negroes are well included. Nothing is unshared by them—if not a particular thing thing, then a thing in kind. American Negroes are known to live in $50,000 houses. In every consider- able community there are homes cost- ing above $10,00. No one in this day speaks of a Negro being _ especially wealthy unless he is worth at least $100,000. A few figure in the legiti- mate class of wealthy men regardless of race—the class of the coveted dis- tinction, millionaires, It is needless to say that the Amer- ican Negroes are surrounded with those things of life that correspond with their money. In fact, they are yoluptuously inclined, which means a display of prosperity that has nothing to do with the doleful condition pic- tured by African journals. For their benefit we take pleasure in saying that so far as general appearances are con- cerned, there is but very little dif- ference between the white people and the Negroes of America.

LEXINGTON, Ky.—Huggins and Berry are the best singers in the Lincoln Theater, Lexington, Ky. They turn to Chicago on Tuesday. After a nine months' tour through Canada and Eastern States, Mr. Huggins stated to a Freeman reporter that he was very much awaiting to the fact that he had worked his partner so hard he would let her rest while he takes a trip South with brother and sister. He had made his plans to guest 1, but somehow Mr. Chas. O. Harding found out they were in the city. Mr. Huggins purchased his ticket Sat. and found contracts and tickets waiting him. So it was up to him to do the work and hold Mr. Harding confident, or not and lose it. This is considered the best song on the road. Net, clean work; good clean comedy. Both are trained singers. Address, 600 Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill. flat 41. CINCINNATI THEATERS. The Pekin, the Gaither, the Magnolia. Notes. CINCINNATI, O., August 1.—A very nice bill greeted the patrons of the Pete's Restaurant, who, everywhere, the card have been here, there is enough new in their acts to entertain the large crowds at each performance. Miss Lucy Shepherd, our charming voice, captivated the audience with several new songs that were to their liking. The Clarks follow with a very catchy tune this season, seen in Brownys, the new occasion, and is well known here, but everything they use in their turn is new and they were a big number. Maryine and Shadney close the show, and like the Clarks, their act is new here. They have a complete change and the audiences showed their appreciation by numerous encores. The bill as a whole is a very classy one. / The Gaither has the strongest card that they have booked for several weeks, and the old originals will easily convince you. Tim Owley opens the bill with a good monologue. He sings several funny songs. He no trouble getting funnies or ampluses. Saparo and Perrin follow with one of their very funny sketches. The Dude gentleman manage to introduce a good line of comedy, and were compelled to acknowledge several encores at each show. Henri Bowman sang several beautiful songs, and had a nice spot on the bill. The Too-Sweets the show with a good singing, dancing and talking act. This is one of the good acts off of the Nothing entirely new about their work, the team went big, just the same. They have a bunch of good jokes they use in the right way, and their dancing is very clever. The male member of the team cooks, and the people expect of a comedian, and he sang a couple of parodies on two of our once popular songs that were screams. Miss Lucy Shepherd was accorded quite an ovation on her first appearance at the Pekin, after her return from Chicago, where she spent a month's vacation with friends. Montgomery and McCain (Frank and Florence) are filling a McCain's engagement at the American Theater on Walnut street. Their act is a headliner. Mr. W. H. Smith is still in the city straightening up the affairs relative to the closing of the Magnolia Theater. Mr. Louis Mitchell, the well-known character comedian, is laying over in this city, resting up for a few days. The Magnolia will open about the middle of August under the name of the New Lyceum, with a white company. Mabel Gan and her picks are filling a week's engagement at Charleston, West Virginia. THE LYRE THEATER, LOUISVILLE, KY. The Lyre, under the new management, far surpassed any previous business, and this week the bill seems to be better and the crowds larger than ever. Joostela Brannan, a Southern soubret, opens the bill, and makes good. Next, Miss Lillian Brown, a favorite before the lights, that always makes good in every land and clime, regardless of the fact that she has played with the audience, makes personality and rare adaptability appeal to all. Brown and Delk, the greatest sister team in the business, is next on the bill, and although in their week, are still favorites and easy to win. Closing May and May, the cost of the present situation, who THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER hold the house spellbound with their ludicious humor. Lyre's playing to S. R. O, only and the extravagant wild with enthusiasm. Wm. D. Evans, manager of the Lyre and Garden Theaters, will use these two up the standard of these two playhouses. THE OCMULGEF THEATER. The colored amusement park of Macon, Ga., is the Oculmegle, which has The Russell-Owens-Brooks Stock Company filled a successful engagement and is now playing Jacksonville, Fla. The house is now under the management of the company, and has been pleasing the patrons very much with all new musical productions, including two acts, assisted by the team of Taylor and which have been heartily received for eight weeks. Miss Tessie Leggs is scoring with her singing and dancing. Walker is a very pleasing little soubret. Billie Reeves is still funny as ever. Kid Bootes is getting his share of audience attention. That famous battery of Butler and McGarr has left Atlanta for awhile and has joined hands with Mr. Gates' company. The entire bunch sends regards to the profession. LAURA SMITH AND MATTIE WHITMAN At the Crown Garden Theater, Indianapolis, Ind. The management of the Crown Garden Theater were fortunate in securing Matthew Mann and Laura Smith for this weeks Bill and the rest of all the coon song shouts. There are none better. Miss Whitman's male impersonation is fine. She presents a very charming and hearty applause. She sings "Washington Rag," a striking composition by her sister, Alberta Whitman. Her clear contralto fills the house; her movements are keeping with her singing; in fact, the audition is her dear own when she puts on that song. Miss Smith gives a genuine surprise. She is short and a little heavy; this, together with her dear own when she puts on that song. Miss Smith has not been surpassed on the Crown Garden Theater stage. She is at once graceful and comical, making an admirable impression. Her "Stop That Rag" is done with suitable action, which gets her the hands. They double in the first part, doing a prairie dance. The stop is a Stop, Stop. The vim put into the song at once warms up the audience, and when they wind up it is in a furore. "Smile On Me" is also successfully sung. The dress made itself a favorite in Indianapolis. MERRIWEATHER AND BROWN At the Family Theater, Indianapolis, Ind. The Family theater is one of the most successful show houses of this city. The management is white, the patrons are white and fill the theater to the doors. These patrons are rather discriminating and the management there's something doing. Merriweather and Brown, after finishing at the Crown Garden with big success last week, were engaged to appear at the Family theater this week. The pair are well balanced, the man is very funny and the fun of the film. The jokes and witticisms by Merriweather were met by ripples of laughter, breaking out now and then into great applause. When he sang "I've Been got everybody going." His tug characterization was enjoyable. He was enjoyed immensely. Brown, who is a woman, does splendid work in her male impersonation. In the tilt with her partner she shows up most clever, proving an actor in the very best sense. She is of great talent and she does. Her singing and speaking voice is fine—clear, distinct in the utterances and well modulated. She throws life into it, and in all respects she is vivacious and charming. Her singing was a pretty rendition. They went off the stage amid well-earned applause. CROWN GARDEN THEATER. INDIANAPOLIS, IND The Crown Garden management continues to put good ones over. The orchestra comes in for a share of applause this week. The young leader is injecting class in the work. Mattie Whitman and her husband in the style. Her son up to their reputation as peerless comosong "shoutahs". Madame Fairfax is a soprano of high, good voice. Her son knows how to handle his feet. He has a fine boy soprano voice. He wins applause and comment with him. I Want To Dance of Harmony. John Rucker again; drawing him still. Gets the hands in advance. He came very near giving a new bill this week, proving his versatility. Spades are a lively set of youngsters from the New York Roof Garden. They give plenty of dancing and stage play. They are excellent. CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW. (By Sylvester Russell.) The majority of Negro performers, like ignorant members of their race, do not understand the science of human nature and is as ill-educated as the South still linger in the darkness. Every ignorant colored performer thinks that a suggestive word or motion appeals to everybody because ignorant people and degenerates make us use the wrong way. But it's all a mistake. It only causes educators to show these ignorant people by teaching them better. The science of human nature is something that the Negro race as a majority knows nothing about, and that is one reason why we have only a low or domestic type of stage lore performances. For the benefit of such actors and people I will give a philosophical explanation about, and a philosophical of Human Nane" in a nutshell. "Love and passion" are two distinct types of character. In all cases of adoration of opposite or similar sexes, love is not the answer out whether you are dealing with love or passion. The difference between love and passion is something that Negroes as a majority do not understand. Love is a virtue that is pure. To the one who seeks to love, the other seeks to aid that one in happiness, and one indication of true love is a desire to be associated with the one subject of your affections, and often if deprived of love, to meet or the one party to follow the other around in the day or night to no ill-intent, but as a true indication of love. Other indications are that a person, easily be persuaded or rebuked by the least only, where others would have to fight. ever of genius these people contain, it comes as a message from God and those who have been strong and prove their high standard of abilities by years of honorable service are the cry of immorality which goes the cry of immorality which hears rumors in rant people who hear rumors is often especially among the Negro race, where the quickest to speak ill of the best. Harry Kraton and Company Create a Furor at the Grand The Rondas Trio in bicycle novelties were extremely entertaining. Lucretia Knox Makes a Hit at the Monogram In spite of a heavy storm the little old Monogram was full, as usual, at the opening performance. There was a heavy reception the comedy, the comedy prima donna, made her reappearance at this house. She was in better voice than on any former occasion and rendered her selections in a more concerted style than in the original. Of a third encore she rendered "If I Forget" and aroused considerable enthusiasm. "Ten Dark Knights" fame, appeared in a blackface sketch, and their dialogue was decidedly novel and original. They finished their act by killing time with a musical and Helen Porter were two newcomers, whose work was quite satisfactory. "What's What" was a good song by Mrs. Porter, and the comedy of Helen Porter was very good, and the team are good dancers. The Coffees entertained with lullaby, Mexican and Indian songs. The ragtime song in the Mexican scene was out of place, but the team worked with the musicians, including Will Dorsey, Prof. Sweatman and Geo. Reeves, three gentlemen whose presence and music together help to swell the crowds nightly with the entertainers.

The young people and those who are in love with the romance and innocence again throughed this theater in large numbers. The programs are changed daily, and the new orchestra and illustrated songs were a feature of the entertainment. Manager Henderson Smith informs us that "The Ten Dark Knights" open at Indianapolis for the season, August 10. Kid Langford, second comedian of the Georgia Minstrels, died about seven months ago and death is not reported to the Freeman. It is credible to the profession to state that he was one of the best comedians in minstrels. Drake and Johnson have arrived in the city from Oklahoma City, where they appeared at the Dixon Theater. Miss Essie Johnson halls from Kansas City, Mo. Creighton Thompson left the city for New York, which she has augmented for the big time.

Mr. Powell, it is expected, will close with the Georgia Minstrels to join Mr. King in Chicago. Sedgwick R. Johnson, of Chicago, who composed the coronation waltzes, dedicated them to King George. He has re-created the waltzes iningham Palace through his private secretary, stating that his majesty cannot lawfully accept of the compliment. George Reeves, of the Monogram orchestra, has written a waltz for the piano which Lawrence Heard, of the Lugger Heard music company, has music to instill. I plucked Mr. Heard to inquire if the song is ready for publication, whereupon Mr. Heard replied that the song will be ready just as soon as Mr. Reeves gets a new inspiration. It is now understood that a memorial performance, in memory of the late Robert T. Motts, will be held at the Pekin Theater, Sunday, August 13.

Bob Cole Believed to Have Committed Suicide in Creek. CATSKILL, N. Y., August 2.—Bob Cole, colored comedian and song writer, walked into Catskill creek this afternoon and was drowned. It is believed his act was deliberate, for he had been ill and despondent recently. He also two friends Cole walked into the creek and apparently allowed himself to sink. His friends, supposing it was in play, watched for some minutes before realizing that Cole was drowning. Cole had appeared all over the country. He often imponed a tramp and sang songs of his own composition. He was born in Athens, Ga., forty-three years The show went big last week; it is plausible that Mr. Furgh takes their talking and singing act.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA., THEATRIC CAL NOTES. By Herbert Gorthorn. Jacksonville is show wild once more on account of the old favorites return, the Russell, Owens, Brooks Stock Company, the Lakers, the Lakers, the "The Back Volunteers" held the boards and did a record breaking business for the Goose and this week they are offering a special event for the other and the other to close. The first was "a Moral Teaching, a little moel drama in one act and about four scenes. The other a comedy fair entitled "The Lady Dingle." Of these "Moral Teaching gained the more favor, due perhaps to the fact that the writer was a Moral Teacher. To the writer a Moral Teaching is cleverly plotted. The Jax theatergoers appreciate any attempt on Messrs. Russell, Brooks and Owens to give them plays that would display acting ability in the character of an old hag. Miss Russell as the little rejected daughter portrayed the part of the audience, while Miss Burroughs as the high-minded favorite daughter displayed an equal amount of cleverness in showing her audience the difference the mother made. The writer cannot afford to the piece is too clever to discourage the writing and staging of more of them on this order. Yet I will take the liberty to say that the final cast can so sudden until my mind can be so clever that had been omitted. Without a doubt the playtte teaches a moral lesson, with credit to the writers, Messrs. Russell, Owens, Miss Muriel Ringgold, the dainty little New York comedienne, again acquitted herself with two good songs. She leaves at the Central Theater, Atlanta, Ga. FRANK HENDON OF LOUISVILLE. Why This Young Man Attracts Attention. By Sylvester Russell. AIR DOME TAMPA BAY, Fla.-Lew Kenner and his stock company of high-class performers are in their second week at the Air Force Academy, where they are nigttly. The public says that their aggregation is the best company that has ever played the house. The company opened Monday night, July 17, with the funny comedy drama, "The Captain and the Cook," staged by Kenner and Schaffer. The way this company works is over the river in an upramp, Dave Schaffer and Billie Higgins deserve much credit for the way they handle the comedy roles. Next comes our olo of royal entertainers, headed by Millie Williams, the dainty little singing and dancing comedian who makes amusing and charming Schaffer and Schaffer, the best and youngest sing and talking and dancing act in the South. Isaiah Grant, the man with the swee barbione voice. Gertrude Jenkins, the singer who sings "Adam" and "Youma Youma Tree." The audience will not stand for anything else. Last but not least, is the one and only Billie Higgam, the Florida Sunbeam, who puts his comical singing and dancing over is a scream.

KENKIRK THE GREAT SOUTHERN QUARTET OF PAVILION THEATRE, INDIANAPOLIS THE GREAT SOUTHERN QUARTET OF PAVILION THEATRE, INDIANAPOLIS THE LIQUOR QUESTION IN THE SOUTH. The liquor question has broken out again in a mild form in the South. The question as it is put is, how to keep liquor from Negroes owing to the ruinous results? It seems that liquor drinking is not so much deplored as the signs of its havoc by wa yof crime, the destitution that sometimes follows and its entail of ugly situations. Complaint is made that the mail-order business of those states in proximity to the "desert" states practically annuls the work of prohibition in those states. Says the Springfield Republican: "One of the main reasons for the prohibitory laws in the Southern states was the desire to separate the Negro from whisky. The South was full of villainous low-type saloons, patronized by the blacks, and they were 'nurseries of crime,' in the most sinister sense of the phrase, 'White gentlemen,' it was understood, would still find a way to the decanter in their homes, hotels, and clubs, but reform was necessary for the black brother. Immediately stept in the mail-order whisky house located in some neighboring state, with its license under federal court decisions to do an interstate business in 'the original package.' It is amazing how the Negroes have made this trade prosper. "If the traffic continues to develop—and we must remember that it now has a record of 20,000,000 gallons a year—the question of federal repression or regulation of the trade, in spite of the constitutional difficulties, may become an issue which Congress could not ignore." The effort at suppression, supported by the very high motives, turns out, as it has turned out elsewhere. The attempt to eliminate the sore spots is laudable, but the attempt at total suppression doesn't appear good in face of the fact that white gentlemen still find way to decanter in their homes and clubs. If many of these find it possible to do this, then who is left to serve the laws? We take it for granted that there are many, and who have no desire to eliminate this phase of gentlemanly pleasure; meaning, of course, that prohibition has not nearly enough serious, stout advocates. But very few people care to see a reign of absolutism as it concerns the liquor habit or traffic. Appetite and personal liberty are assailed, and men feel to rebel, and do rebel. No laws are so audaciously violated as those hot-house measures that are conceived in moments of frenzy and fanaticism. The effects of the liquor habit are at times direful and deplorable. The outward signs of the sometimes ruin make a mighty appeal for reform, yet all of the contriving to successfully abolish the business has ended as naught. Incidentally good has been done, but the great intent of the law has been defeated, this meaning that the dream of a liquorless land is but a dream. We deplore the dives—the breeding places of crime—but if we are true to ourselves we will not take much faith in the hope to cut out the liquor habit. Sentiment, beautiful white sentiment, would see the whole business overboard. It does see the whole business overboard at times; but somehow it "comes back" again. Mankind seems fetchedly perverse on this question. The reason for this perverseness is plain enough. It is too long a story to relate, but sufficient to say, the ques- THE $10,000 BALLAD SENSATION "IF I FORGET" Words by Alfred Anderson—Music by De Koven Thompson The World's Greatest Ballard sung by the World's Greatest Singers.

It seems wholly a personal matter, then it appears a matter for state regulation owing to the harm that so often follows. The state claims the right to protect the individual, even against himself. The individual does not care to surrender his personal prerogatories as he conceives them to be; he is jealous of the invasion of the state. This fact is so firmly established that the liquor laws are violated with a feeling akin to vindictiveness and hate, and thus the question oscillates as a pendulum—between the claims of the state and the claims of the individual. A "TAFT" JOKE. No appreciable opposition to the renomination of President Taft has made its appearance in any State. All visiting colored men, who come this way from the States that vote, agree that the President will have the solid support of the Negro Republicans.—R. W. Thompson in The Freeman. Mr. Thompson holds a small position in a government department at Washington, D. C., and was recently given a small increase in pay. This doubtless accounts for the above "joke" excerpt. If "all visiting colored men" (in Washington, D. C.) really have told him that Afro-American voters of the States are for Taft, they certainly have been "stringing" Brother Thompson to a "frazzle." The fact is just the opposite is true—it is difficult to find an intelligent or any other member of the race except one holding a job—like Mr. Thompson—who is for Taft. He has treated our people so outrageously in so very many ways that it would be next to a miracle to find them otherwise. If President Taft is renominated he will receive fewer Afro-American votes than any other Republican candidate for the presidency—less than one third. Mark our prediction!—The Cleveland Gazette. Now that's the way it goes so often when individuals of the race discuss questions. The editor of the Gazette seemingly forgot his subject for a while to deal with Mr. Thompson. He seems to think that if he succeeds in making little of him he will succeed in making little of what he says. Brother, the subject is Mr. Taft, and not Mr. Thompson. Stick to the text. When it comes to knowing things in front of time the editor of the Gazette will kindly remember that he predicted that 90 per cent. of the Negro vote would go against Taft in the last election. Not a very good prediction. As for what Mr. Thompson says—it will pay to watch it. Don't forget the Mid-Summer Reduction. "You can get the Freeman for One Dollar per year until September 1." NOTICE.

August 5, with Johnson, the heavyweight champion, Johnson has established training on the outskirts of London. The fight is scheduled to take place in Dublin, Ireland. The champion anticipates but little doubt that he will, although a pretty good scraper, is not generally considered to be in Jacks class. Johnson has confided to his friends that he expects to make short work of Curran. Johnson has told the coach that Jack seems to think that it Curran stays ten rounds, he will be doing mighty good, British fight fans are much interested in the coming battle, as they are most anxious to see the big negro fighter in action. Johnson has told the coach in England—much more so than in the United States. A story was going the rounds in England—Johnson had stated that he was sore on America and intended to make his home in England in the future. However, this year is not generally credited, for the In the latter part of September Johnsin is to fight Mombardier Wells, who is touted as being a pretty hefty fighter. Wells, is without a doubt, a much better fighter. Jame claim to believe that he will make Jack wells his title. Jack, however, has no fear on this point.

Their fielding was the best seen so far; not a man dared turn third base when the ball was in the field.

YOUNG LOUGHREY SHADES KID HENRY Quaker Fighter Bests Negro in Fierce Ten-Round Bout. NEW YORK—In one of the fiercest tenon glove fights ever seen at the National Sporting Club, Young Loughrey, of Phila-denia, and slight advantage, Henry the Hemp, had a very weighty fight from Albany, the other night. Loughrey recently returned from France with a string of victories, and his performance was a big surprise to those who had come to regard Henry as the king. Henry had the better of the first half of the battle, but when it came down to real solid slugging, the Quaker appeared to be the winner. Both men were reeling at various periods from the terrible smashes they received, but near the end Loughrey forged ahead with desperate attacking power and had the Negro. The bout was marred by much wrestling and clinching, but whenever the men were free they fought with such viciousness that the crowd stood up and yelled. Henry was a taller than and vigorous man, and at a reason why he was shaded, but at that he gave an excellent account of himself. In spite of the best nearly 1,000 members palmed the knives and vigorously fanned themselves while the preliminaries were decided. They were boiling when Henry and Loughrey came on for the final bout of ten rounds at catch weights. Patsy Haley was the referee, and when he was governed by the Rangers rules. Loughrey opened the first by landing several hard left on the Negro's head. Henry cut loose then with tremendous uppercuffs on the neck and in the stomach, compelling Loughrey to fight with free hands until the Quaker began to hold. Henry punched him heavily in the body after that, and Loughrey, after being slugged when the bell rang, and had to torn apart by the referee. Henry had the round by a small advantage. When the second round Loughrey had to wait until Henry made him retreat with several hard swings to the head. Henry forced the fight, but the Quaker covered up Loughrey, roughly occasionally and he waited. He finding it clear high impossible to reach him with a clean punch; but the Negro had the round. In the third round Loughrey with a left hook to the jaw, made the Negro twist around like a Loughrey followed with a rush, but cinched as soon as Henry shot a clean left to the jaw. Again Loughrey rushed, and in a desperate mixup he rocked the Albany man with several quicks, and brought quickly, however, and with well directed body blows and a couple of swings on the necx he made the white man take the defensive. They rushed into a hard clinch as the fourth round opened, both using free hands on the short ribs and kidneys. Henry at, with his right hand on the neck, and on Loughrey mixed it until the Negro clinched. Breaking away Henry forced his man to the ropes, reaching the pit of the stomach. They slugged to the end, the round being about even. Henry landed on the jaw with a quick left as a starter in the fifth round. Loughrey separated them. For nearly a minute they wrestled all over the ring, each getting in body blows. At long range both landed swings. Loughrey had Henry up with right hand on the neck, Henry began shooting in left to the face the sixth round but buildup of combatants the way he did Henry. Paul THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER to the jaw and the same hand to the stomach with great force; but the Quaker him tightly. Henry was doing the forehand and the backhand. Henry sent in a half dozen blows in the seventh round before Loughrey began to backhand. He settled into a terrific left to the jaw, the white man rushed in with body blows that made Henry back away. Then came a series of clinches. He played a left to the jaw, swings as the eight round began, and Henry responded in kind. Each landed on the jaw. Then they clinched for a moment, and both men toothed; but they fell into and both men toothed; but they fell into the punch, the bell rang. The round was over, and bread. Loughrey went right after his man in the ninth round and landed so many dangerous punches that he clinched. Henry rulled quickly and landed a punch, ring, both slugging on the ropes. Loughrey landed the cleaner and harder punches the exchange until the Negro began to hold. He landed the corner where the latter took a hard punch. Loughrey was wrestled through the ends at the end of the round which was missed. Loughery was a whirlwind in the last round.

May Make It His Future Home—Now Training for Curran. Now comes the news that Jack Johnson thinks of making his home for all time in verry England. He doesn't like the way he accounts of his "race, color and home on account of his "race, color and home on condition of servitude." He is not unlike some other sundry gentlemen of opposite sex after having taken the soil after having gotten it in a money way in this country. Johnson has joined the colony which is particularly noted for money and anti-American sentiment. Johnson says that the English people are just treating him dandy, in fact making a sort of lord out of him, and if realizing that he is a man, men of coronets and other insignia of their social status. He has got into print in a big way. One of the papers quoted him as saying that he would never take up a suit for the United States—the apostate! *** White men are not the easiest subjects to manage as it concerns Negroes, yet here was an affair in which all concerned white men except Jack. He came away with a large amount of money sat in Dublin berating his own country was due to the shekels that white men of America made possible for him to have in their possession. What's the difference? Whos going to shout at seeing one of their own kind knocked to pieces, and at the same time taking one's money? But Jack now only of his own comfort and entertainment, since he's got his pockets filled with money that he scarcely knows how to now, when Mr. Jack Johnson went circulating over the country, giving his exhibitions, who patronized his shows? These same beaten white people. Who yelled at the sparring partner scudding to his corner friend a blow fro mhis pile driver? The white people. Who yelled as he tried to speechcribe it was done, and what he meant to do? The poor Jack Johnson down trodden white people of America and you loyal Negroes, who don't count when he speaks of how he was treated, repudiation is the best you got. The Negroes of America, ten million of them, had not very much to give Johnson a money but he gave him bountie applause. From war, Alexander, Hamibal or Hamicar met no such thunderous shout as greeted the champion of champions when he laid the mighty Jerries low. Well, the prose of the business is that Johnson is in training to fight Curran, a man he does not think very much of. The man he is admiring is not. If it lasts more than ten it will be surprising. The fact of the business is, that no one thinks that Curran will win although he is somewhat of a classy scraper for his business. Johnson in one of the illustrated papers is shown amid an admiring group of Englishmen who are viewing his powerful arms, shoulders and neck. It is plain that he is not a slave against the Negro, but they are dead anxious to see the human dreadnaught in action. Perhaps the first fight interest in the Negro colossus will wane, at this time, however, he has got them going, and they are willing to spend all kinds of money to see Johnson in the ring. In the language of our own countrymen, they The champion is training in the suburbs of Los Angeles, where he is seen doing the customary tackling the dummy and so forth. He seems to be entirely in the hands of his teammates, as we know he has no colored attendants that are attached to his training camp. ABOUT CARL MORRIS, BLOOMING WHITE HOPE OF OKLAHOMA. "I am confident Carl Morris can beat Jack Johnson." So spoke Frank I. Ufer recently in Chicago. The manager of the blooming white hope was there trying to win the title of Morris and Jim Flynn. Such a statement would expected from a man who is spending money—his own or somebody else—to make a champion of Carl Morris. It may be taken at its face value. Ufer, however, did issue an interesting statement ending Morris. What he said follows: "People in the Middle West and East are a little skeptical about Morris, although the men in the East are more than anxious to see him. He has never fought there and would prove a big draw. Morris is a big body out West is sure of our man Morris, and they would back him to the last man. He can whip Flynn in twenty rounds. Of that I am certain, and so is Morris. They have followed the man. After whipping Flynn we think Johnson the next in line. "We have had several boxing partners for Morris in Tulsa and a few matches, none has given our man a fair trial. Shreck furnished only an arm for Morris. Shreck was taken to a hotel after the fight and it was a half hour before he was able to walk. Morris with one hand short arm jabs knocked the man down and the foot ring. Before that he had spilled him out of the ropes twice. "Several other men encountered Morris, but none seem anywhere good enough for him." The only man who was a good partner for him was Joe Jeanette. All these men were good in their line a few years back and should be able to go at least three hours. But Hart was completely exhausted at the time he joined Morris. "We had Joe Jeanette there six weeks, and he was the only man who could do a fair workout. Jeanette is a trisky fighter and conceded a great chance to whip Morris. "At first Morris fought with wide knees and did not cover up well, but since he was able to handle himself wonderfully well. He had jab with each arm that is as dangerous as Johnson's short punches. He stands 6 feet and weighs 235 pounds. His reach of the knee is hard to overcome by any fighter and he is fast becoming a shifty man on his feet. The tight fighter can often worry a heavier man and weighs 235 pounds around him and darting in with an occasional punch, keeppink the heavier man running after him. Morris is not worried by this kind of fighting, as shown in his workout with Jeanette. "The negro tried to make Morris follow him, but Morris waited his chance for him, but Morris followed a man, but does not seem to be following a man, way by the fast jumps. His style is much like that of of Johnson, and it is figured that he can overcome the champion's experience. "I have known Morris since long before he entered the fighting game, and it is a clean sort of fellow and sincere he is the best of them. We figure Morris needs is more heavy men to fight. After he has met Flynn and known that he can do we are going after him. We are as confident out in Oklahoma that Morris can whip any fighter near his weight in the world as we are that he Flynn out in a low number of rounds."

Smith and Whitman know favorite, Dal Levi, okay. They are high class artists, and never fall to their share of applause. String Beans at the Larry is given up to be one of the best comedians that has been at the theater. String Beans are others who deserve our highest praise, but we failed to get their names. The Houston Theater has employed Ayers Orchestra. This means much for the success of the best orchestras in the city. All during the summer they have been playing in the dance hall at the White City City Center, and they have new selections. All players who come to the theaters become discouraged if the music is not up to the standard. The orchestra is fast becoming the best playhouse in the city. As winter comes on it will be a mecca for theater goers. Mr. Ayers will be the excellent manager and deserves great credit.
