Lewis—A Few Big Meetings Ahead—The Howard Theatre Leased Thompson's National News Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 4—A. Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training School at Durham N. C. was in the city this week, concluding arrangements for an extend of missionaryour course in the Middle West in the context of his thriving institu- work for the uplift of the Negro people of the South and of the nation. The plan of this great school is known ev- Dr. Shepard, having in mind the needs of the great masses of the Negro race, has consented to issue a call for a conference of the minister of the National Religious Training School in Durham, N. C., July 6, 1912. The conference will last one week, and the visitors will be the guests of the school, without charge or expense. The conference will be extended by the institution and by the citizens of Durham, who are among the most progressive in the entire Southland. It is certain that great good can be accomplished by the minister among the recognized leaders of race thought and morals, and the meeting will doubtless be attended by the most influential clergymen from all sections of the community. The success of the race along economic lines, and the dangerous tendency toward disease and the increased temptations growing out of our modern life, render such a conference a crying necessar- cial to the near future. Dr. Shepard's call, in its as follows, and its self-explanatory: Dr. Shepard's Call to the Ministers of the Nation To the Ministers of the United States: At the request of many who are interested 1 mile development of the race along all lines, I have been asked to call the Ministers of the United States at the National Religious Training School, in the city of Durham, N. C., July 6, 1812. In discussing the moral, civil and spiritual condition of the Negro, to study sociological problems and to devise some means of working along practical lines through religious channels. We realize that the colored minister is the real leader of his people and that there is co-operation between him and all other members of the civil unfit. We believe that the colored minister holds the real key to the situation, and for this reason we desire to have a heart-to-heart conference of all the sanitary and prospective of denominations. Such practice will be discussed: What is the moral condition of the people in your community? What effect has been made to the sanitary condition? What effect has been made to the sanitary condition? If not, what was the increase? If not, what was the increase of its reduction? To what extent co-operate with the Civic Improvement League? Has settlement to any of the communities be conducted your community, and if so, with what results? Many kindred subjects will be discussed: National Religious Training School invites all ministers to be chosen for one week, so that you will at no expense while in the city of Durham. The railroads will be asked to co-operate with this movement to the extent of making them a part of the Durham is regarded as one of the most impressive cities in the country, and it will benefit a pleasure for you to co-operate with your own race is actually doing in Durham. ministers who contemplate attending this conference are requested to make some known by January 1, 1912, so that they may attend their accommodation. We will also be glad t have any practical suggestions you may see fit to make, and they will be carefully prepared. JAMES E. SEPARD, M.D. President and Founder. The excellence of the work that the conference plans to do and the well-known success of the New Negro Sheaard are positive guarantees that the government will be a brilliant success. The will be evocal in the history of the New Negro and the New Negro who is making this conference, and prosper beyond the most exquisite dreams of the fathers of the expatriate the conference will be largely attended by the representative ministers of the entire country. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell to Lecture. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, conceded to be the most brilliant platform speaker of her sex, a race has produced, has been naid a gratitude and deserved compliment by the famous Institute of Arts and Sciences. She has accepted an invitation to deliver five lectures before that distinguished body in the United States of the life of "The Negro in the United States."

Mayo-Prof. Eph. Williams' Famous Troubadours in the City-Industrial Conference and Show at the Normal Institute-Dramatic Readers in the City-Personal and Social News. By Hardin Tilbert, 425 Washington St. —Old Phone 654. FRANKFORT, Ky. — Special — Jesus Christ saw fit to call to sleep the beloved wife of Prof. W. H. Mayo, September 22, at 9:30 p. m. Mrs. Mayo had been sick for several years. She was known to be a gentle man, knew her by that gentle and sweet disposition. Her neighbors were always ready to extend some deed of kindness, thinking that they could never have been able to work for her race while in health and strength. The Almighty, knowing the allotted time for His humble servants to work in His vineyard, called the pillow stone from the Corinthian wall, and the Frankfort to begin a new task in the above. There has never been a death in this city that has rested upon the minds of the people so much as that of the beloved Mrs. Mayo. She was loved by all who cared for her. She mourn at her death. The sentiments of those who loved her can best be expressed in these words: "The bravest lives are those to duty wed, Whose deeds, both great and small Are close-knit strands of an unbroken thread Where love ennobles all.

A. Bible School opened Tuesday night with splendid prospects for one of the most successful years of work. The idea that only ministers or church leaders should charter a Bible is very clear.

"Long street, Columbus, AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL A REVIEW OF THE RECENT CANADIAN ELECTION MACVEAGH PROTECTS NEGRO ARCHITECT Labor Unions Against the Negro —Ex-Recorder J. C. Dancy to be Groomed for Leader of the Colored Forces in 1912. __ ‘Thompson's National News Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. C.—September 28. —Annexation, rather than reciprocity. was voted upon in Canada last Thursday. ‘The national spirit of the people of our neighboring daughter of Great Britain triumphed, and in the obscuration, of the real issue, reciprocity suffered a temporary setback. ‘The frenzied adora- tion’ of the fetich of high protection so blinded the eyes of the populace that they defeated a measure drawn with spe- cial reference to the needs of the masses, and which ultimately promised incalcu- lable commercial benefits to both Canada and America, ‘The tendencies of the times Is toward freer trade, and there is an insistent demand that tariff walls be lowered wherever it can be done without detriment to the interests of those en- terprises not yet able to stand upon their own feet in competition with the world, Reciprocity, the one great issue of the Tait administration, is delayed, but it will come in the process of commercial @volution and with the education of the masses to the advantages offered by @ iess restricted market between two na- tions living side by side and having many interests in comnion, President Taft, though disappointed, because of the defeat of his favorite measure, 18 not injured by the outcome Of the Canadian election. He is not less correct in his stand because of the fail- ure of the people across the border to distinguish between a simple economic proposition and the bogy of annexation. His speech-making tour of the West is putting him in direct touch with the Thinking citizens of the land, and the in- ‘creased enthusiasm with which he is be- {ng greeted everywhere, even in the ter- ritory of the so-called insurgents, indi- Cates that he enjoys the confidence of the fen who must live by the sweat of their brow or through the marts of trade, none ef whom can prosper, save under sound business conditions. The President has not lost prestige. He is in sympathy with the appeal for a safe and sane re- Vision of the tariff, with a view of re- Gueing the cost of living, and the explan- fation of his vetoes is setting him fairly and squarely on the side of the workers Who must get 100 cents out of every dol- far they earn. The country is reaching the conviction that intelligent revision can come only after the report of the tarift board 4s available. With the regu- Jar session of Congress, when this report ig made to Congress, the real tariff re- vision will be inaugurated and pushed to speedy conclusion. President Taft is wisely steering clear of partisan politics in lis addresses, He is speaking for all the people—Republicans and democrats, rich and poor, black and white. If cap- ital is made for 1912, it is because his wise policies are making a natural im- pression upon the sovereign voters of Phe nation. Secretary MacVeagh Stands by Col cored Architect. ‘The Hon. ranklin MacVeagh, secretary of the treasury, has demonstrated anew his belief In a “square deal” for all un- der his jurisdiction, and has shown that he is willing to go out of his way to as- sist worthy colored men to rise to the full measure of their opportunities. He has indicated this in a concrete fashion by cancelling the recent order of the de- partment separating from the office of the supervising architect three colored draughtsmen, who are drawing generous salaries, ranging from $1,800 to $2,000 per annum, and rendering service of a gilt-edged character. The men restored fo duty are Henry D, Woodson, of Llli- nois, a skillful draugiitsman in the main office of the supervising architect of the treasury in this city; L. W. Baker, su- perintendent of construction on the United States postofiice at Ashtabula, O., and W. W. Cooke, superintendent of con- Struction on the United States postoftice at Ironton, 0. "A few days ago it became necessary for the secretary to cut off of his payroil eighty of the technical staff of the archi- tect’s office, because of the failure of Congress to make the appropriation, ne- cessary to carry on this work, and no disbursing officer of the government can continue a force on duty with @ posi- tive deficit staring him in the face. ‘The separation from the service was to have taken place September 30, ‘The attention of Secretary MacVeigh was called to the fact that the quota of colored men on the architect's staft throughout che country was painfully small, and that to remove these three faithful workers would be to practically wipe out the Negro from this branch of the service. Mr. MacVeagh quickly ap- preciated the force of the representation, And without delay ordered that Messrs: Woodson, Baker and Cooke be retained at their fespective posts under the same conditions heretofore existing. It was also understood that if it is found that the order should touch colored men en- gaged in supervising the construction of any government building anywhere in the land, 80 much thereof as related to them would be considered cancelled. This is a master stroke for the broad-minded sec- retary of the treasury, and he is being warmly congratulated upon all sides for having so readily seen to it that the representation of the Negro in the tech- nical division of the treasury, depart- ment Was not reduced, even though a number of changes in the line up had to be made to hold these worthy men in their places, and yet conform to the law respecting ‘the appropriation. Several colored men holding minor positions un- der the architect were given openings elsewhere. It is not believed that any colored man will lose out entirely be- cause of this financial complication. Sec- retary) MacVeagh is entitled to the thanks of the Negro press and people all over the country by reason of his firm Stand for the race in a crisis that bade fair to work disaster to men of the brightest promise of usefulness to the Ex-Recorder Dancy for Leader. With the close of the President's tour of the West, the campaign of 1912 will be formaily jaunched. “The temper of the country will have been thoroughly tested and the managers will have an accurate “line” upon what is needed to insure a Republican victory next fall. ‘The Negro is to have a share in the fight. He Is ready now, and is only awaiting the sig- nal to plunge boldly into the fray. There must be capable leadership, if the colored brother is to be made to properly under- stand his duties and obligations to his party and to his race, as well. The of- fice-holders will have ample work to do, in this connection, and all of them have been giving the administration of Pres- ident ‘Taft a support that is oth loyal and effective. It is evident that the masses will want a commander of the forces in the field, who is not an office- holder—one who can speak as one not bound by any specific obligations and thus appeal more strongly to that large element that is inclined to view the of- fice-holder with suspicion of having & selfish interest to serve. Such a leader, working in harmony with the national committee, would be a tower of strength in all the States where the Negro vote is potent. The popular eye is turned toward Former Recorder John C. Dancy as the most available man for the mission, thus outlined. He is not in office, but has had large official and general experience. He is a trained campaigner—knows the game from the ground up. He is a fine “mixer” and is in touch with every ac- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ee ————OOO ——EE——_—_——~—X- tivity in which the colored man is ¢n-| tion.

This alliance of two Faces in one family seems to have a certain advantage In the rather tumultuous politica of the city, for I was told that when the Creatians, as sometimes happens, go to the mayor's house in procession, with thelr griev- ances, ‘the mayor's wife has been able to help her husband by addressing hec own people In their native Janguaze. ‘The most Interesting thing I saw in Fiume, however, was the Immense emigration bulld- Ing, which has accommodations, as I re- member for something like 3,000 emigrants. ‘Hore are the offices of the Hungarian em|- gration officials, and in this same bullding fare received and cared for, until the next mucceeding ailing, the accumlation of the stream of emigration which ows steadily out ‘at this port from every part of the kingdom. Here the emigrants, after they have been medically examined, given a bath and thelr clothes disinfected, are detained until the time of embarkation, In company with United States Consul Slocum, from whom I received much valuable information, I visit~ fed the emigration building and spent a large part of one day looking into the atrange- Monts and talking, through an interpreter, with emigrants from different parts of the ‘country, who were waiting there to embark. Under his guidance I inspected the bar- racks, furnished with rows and rows of ouble-decked Iron beds, observed the ma- chinery for disinfecting the clothing of emi- grants, visited the kitchen, tasted the soup, ‘and finally saw all the different nationalities march in together to dinner, the women in fone row and the men in another. ‘The ma- fority of them were of Magyar nationality; good, wholesome, sturdy and thrifty people they seemed. ‘They were from the country districts. Some of them were persons. of Property, who were going to Amrica to arn enaugh money to pay of omrtgages, with which thelr lands were burdened. "Very many of them had relatives, a brother, a sister or a husband already in America, and they seemed to be very well Informed about conditions in the new country where they ‘wero going, ‘The tw» most interesting figures that T no- ticed among the intended emigrants were tall, pallid and barefooted girl, with rather Gelicate and animated features, and a man in a linen blouse which hung down to his Knees, with his fect and legs incased in a kind of moccasin earmounted with leggings bound with lather thongs. ‘The girl was a Ruthenian, who was looking to meet relatives in America. ‘The man, whom I noticed look- ing, with what seemed to me rather en- vious interest and curiosity, at a pair of American shoes on sale at one of the booths in the big common hall, was a Roumantan, Two of the emigrants with whim I talked had been In America before. "One of these, who Understood a little English, scemed to boa leader among the others. When I asked him the reason why he was going back to American he spoke quite frankly and dis- paragingly about conditions in the old coun- try. He sald it was not so much the wages that led people to emigrate, though they wore emall enough, but the worst of it was that there were long Intervals when it was not possible to get any work. Besides that, the taxes were high. “and. then,” he added, shrugging his shoulders and’ throwing out his arms with a gesture of Impatience, “it ts too tight here.” T suspect that this expressed the feeling of a good many emigrants, who returning to thelr native country have emigrated a second time. “They have found things in the country Stoo tight” for comfort. ‘There is still room in America for people to spread out and grow and find out for thomselves what they are capable of, As long as people find things “too tight they will move on. ‘The plant stretches always towards the light. ‘Among the emigrants with whom T had an opportunity to talk was a group of Rouman- fans who had come up from ‘Transylvania or Steben Burgen, as they called it. ‘They Were a dark, silent sort of people who hung very closely together and looked at us out of the corners of thelr eyes. When I sought to talk with them they seemed indisposed to answer my questions, and finally one of them told the Interpreter that they had been In- structed not to talk with any one until they reached America, Considering the elborate regulations which their government has imposed upon people seeking to leave Hungary, and the still more Claborate regulations which our government has Imposed upon people secking to enter the United States, this did not particularly sururise me. ‘Since these people were Roumantans, or Wallachs, from Sieben Bergen, they may fave had other reasons for not telling why thoy were leaving the country. ‘The Rou- mnanians, although they proudly claim de- scent from the Roman conquerors of this part of the world, are, nevertheless classed hmong the “Inferior,” as they are, in fact, among the most ignorant races in Hungary. Ke they have been particularly peraistent in Advertising ‘thelr wrongs to the rest of Burope and have been frequently punished for it, they may. perhaps have learned that Silence is golden, particularly in the pres- ence of Magyar officials. When in Vienna T was secking for informa- tion that would help me to understand the Facial situation in the dual monarchy, I found that one of the most learned and brit- Hant writers on that subject was a Rouman- lan, who, while he was a student in Rou: mania Academy and In 1892 had been arrest- ea with other students and condemned to four years imprisonment for writing and clr- culating @ pamphlet in which were enumer- Sted. “acts of violence” committed against the other races of Hungary by the “superior Magyar.” ‘The superiority of the dominant raco seems as a matter of fact to be the foundation Btone of the political policy of the present government In Hungary. In the last analy- sis it seems to be the major premise, so to speak, of every argument, which I happen to have heard or read in Justification of the policy which the government has pursued in Fererence to the other races of the monarchy. In fact, the “superiority of the Magyar” race is responsible for most that is good and evil in the history of Hungary for the past Seventy years. It seems, for example, to have been the chief source of inspiration for the heorle struggle against Austria, which began in 1848 and ended with the Independ- ence of Hungary In 1867. It seems, also, to have been the goad which has spurred on the impatient leaders of modern Hungary in their hurry to overtake and surpass the pro- gress of civilization in the test of Europe. Untortunately the ambition and success of the Magyars In thelr effort to gain thelr po- litieal independence and preserve their pe- cullar racial type from being lost and swal- fowed up by the other and “inferior” people by which it is surrounded, has encouraged every other nationality in’a similar desire fand determination. "If It ts good for the Magyars to pre- serve thelr language, custome and racial tra- Gitions, say the other races In ffect, “why ie ft not Just as important for us that we preserve ours?” ‘The reply of the Magyars {s, in effect: “You have no language, no history nor tra- gition worth keeping. in short, you are an mitted in the name of what is known as the “Magyar State idea," which seems to be lite ie more. however, than the idea that the fagyars ‘must dominate, although they rep- resent but Afty-one per ‘cent. of the popula- tion in Hungary proper and forty-five. per cent, of the total population, including that of the annexed territory, croatious Slavonia. ogee is the Mauer race tdentifod. with the government in Hungary that it is pun- shed @ sa kind of treason to say anything against the Magyarc, Most of the persons who are prosecuted for political erimes in Hungary seem to be charged either with pan- siavism, which 1s usually little more than & desire 0 fthe slaves to preserve thelr own na- tional existence, or with “incitement against the Magyar nationallty.”" ‘On the part of the Maxyare it does not seem to be any crime to speak disrespect- fully or even contemptuously of the other Faces. I have observed that those writers who have sought to defend the “Magyar States Idea” refer quite frankly to the Rou- manians and the Slovaks as inferior "races," who are not competent to govern themselves There is, itkewise, a saying among the Magyars to the effect that “a Slovak Is not @ human being.” a notion that seems to spring up Quite naturally in the mind of any race whieh had accustomed itself to the slavery and oppression of another race, It 4s, however, all the more curious that such @ saying should gain currency tn Hun- gary, in view of the fact that Kessuth, the Sreat national hero of Hungary, was himself a Slovak. One hears strange stories in Hungary of the methods which the dominant race has employed to hold the other races in subjec- tion. Fr example, in the matter of elec- tions, bribery, intimidation and all the other familiar methods of exploiting the vote of ignorant and simple-minded people are car- ried on in a manner and to an extent which recalls the days of reconstruction in the South. In order to maintain the superior race in power, newspapers are suppressed, schools re closed and the omney for thelr support, which have been colected for educational Purposes, are confiscated by the government. ‘As an illustration of the lengths to which Hungary has gone in order to maintain Mag- yar domination, It is sald that when the Catholic clergy, seeing the ravages which Grink had made among Slovaks, attempted to organize temperance societies among them the government suppressed these organiza- tions on the ground that they tended to fos- ter the sentiment of panslavism and so were in opposition to the “Magyar State Idea.” Tt is known, however, that the chief compiaints against ‘these socleties were from liquor Gealers. ‘Apparently It is just as easy in Hungary ‘as in America for salflish persons to take ad- vantage of racial prejudices and sentiment, in order to use it for their own onda. In fact, all that T'saw and learned in regard tc the ‘relation of the races in Hungary served to show me that racial hatred works in much the same way, whether it exists among peo- ple of the same color but different speock, oF among people of different colors and the same speech. If there are some points in which the re- etions of the races in Hungary and the United States are similar there are others fn which they differ. While Hungary is seeking to solve Its racial problem by holding down the weaker races and people, America Is seeking to accomplish tho same result. by Utting them up. In Hungary every effort Seems to be made to compel the so-called “inferior race” to give up thelr separate Janguage, to forget their national history, traditions and civilization; everything, in fact, which might inspire them as a people with @ desire of a propor ambition to win for themselves a position of respect and con- sideration in the clvillzea world. In America, on the contrary, each race and nationality is encouraged to. cultivate ‘and take pride in everything that is is ris- Unctive or pecullar, elther in its traditions, racial traits or disposition. 1 think Tam safe in saying that there is no country in the world where so many different races of such different colors, habits and traditions live together In such’ peace and harmony as ig true in the United States. One reason for this is that there 1s no other country where “the man farthest down" has more oppor- tuatty or greater freedom than in the United ‘states, (Continued Next Week.) ORLANDO, FLA.

December is pleasant as May.—The men that sell coal and ice. It looks as if we poor, poor people will have to finally thank the Lord for Mayor Shank. Straw hats disappeared simultaneously this year. Must have been a psychological moment. It has begun to dawn on Jack Johnson that Europe is a most excellent place to spend money, but as to making it—hasn't made any yet. Mayor Shank's second installment of reasonable-priced potatoes are in. The long-headed Shank! Why, he'll break into the Hall of Fame yet if you don't mind. And sweet potatoes in a restaurant or an ordinary boarding house may well be classed with the lost arts. Never mind them, Mr. Shank. They are a luxury anyhow. We are in favor of a monster demonstration by Negroes in 1919, a testimonial of appreciation for the opportunity to demonstrate ability, character, worth before the foremost people of the world. The new W. H. Block Co. store is a beauty. The advertisement of this new trade palace does not outrun the facts. Expenses were not saved in making it a monument to commercialism. Charles Stewart, the well known newspaper correspondent, will have to defend himself right valiantly against the numerous charges against him. To be sure they are not criminal, but they reflect greatly on the integrity of a foremost newspaper man. Don't need any fake Emancipation Celebration Day. Something must be kept sacred at any cost. Prize contests aren't necessary adjuncts—trifling with your liberty. Lincoln Day should be most honorably observed. If you can't do it, let it alone. Quite a shifting among the editors. Report now has it that Thos. T. Fortune will edit a Washington publication. His friends think that the capital is Mr. Fortune's field. They have in mind a national journal which will draw on the splendid talents of the veteran editor. "Wherever any race or group of people learn to do a common thing in an uncommon way, by putting brains, skill and conscience into labor, that race or group of people is likely to solve all the problems that surround them—Dr. Booker T. Washington. That's fair enough. The government has sanctioned an aerial mail route. An effort will be made to carry the mail between New York and Los Angeles, Cal. As a mere matter of precaution the aviator might run over the route two or three times as a tryout. The practice won't hurt him—no, not the practice. Dr. Booker T. Washington is carrying Texas by storm. In fact, there seems a new Washington wave on in the section, due perhaps, in part to the success of the Little Rock meeting of the Negro Business League. The white people are vicing with the Negroes in showing appreciation for the noted educator. It is said that Roscoe Conkling Simmons has severed his connection with the New York Age as editor, and that he will establish a journal in the South. Mr. Simmons served the Age with distinction. He proved his fitness for the new undertaking. We hope him the success due a capable man. Another murder by a Negro this week, meaning more shame and humiliation to a race that should be very brotherly. The entire race suffers because of these outbreaks, unjustly so, but it is true nevertheless. Purse snatchers, robbers and the likes are becoming too notable. The authorities will be justified in dealing sternly with this class of offenders. A bit of interest has been aroused concerning the commissioned Negro officers in the United States Army. On the retirement of Major John R. Lynch a few weeks ago it was said that he was the last of the commissioned Negro officers. The Freeman fell in with the error and helped circulate the mistake. Reliable information coming to this publication since then gives assurance that there are three Negroes still in the army who are officers within the meaning of the statement. The New Orleans Item, speaking of the opposition to Negroes, recently said: "Fighting them is like shooting at tame birds. Making an issue of them in politics is demagogium pure and simple." Opposed on the grounds that we are living, merely. But what's that about the worm turning? The Freeman is under obligations to the management of Madame Hackley's farewell concert for complimentary tickets. This concert comes on the crest of the Chicago musical wave. It looks very promising financially, and as a testimonial of the madame's ability and zeal. Carey B. Lewis, editor of the Chicago Chronicle, chief manager. Date of concert, October 19. Nineteen nineteen will be the three hundredth anniversary of the Negro in America. He has had his ups and down, but at that he's way ahead of the Negro of elsewhere. Barring some little civil irregularities and unequal opportunity he can make his existence just about what he chooses to make it. If he cannot take part in a white man's business he can build his own business. Nor is this a dream. The South teems with enterprises by colored men, and because they were not expected in the business conducted by white men. Our condition could be better; it could be worse. It is worth a memorial in 1919. We note the name of a prominent member of the race mentioned for race leader. His many excellent attributes are set forth in good form in earnest of the selection, and so forth. We doubt very much if a political leader is chosen by any such "hand-made" manner. We do not care very much for that threadbare statement that leaders are born, not made. It is true nevertheless. The adult individual who is not now leading will never lead. Time, with its additional years, will only mean a completer leadership, compelling recognition and all that. Leadership will be known by its followers. They are not necessarily solicited, but are won owing to the cause, the sincerity of its advocacy—honesty of purpose, supported by wisdom, judgment and an enlightened conscience. THE Y. M. C. A. MOVEMENT. The campaign for funds for the new Y. M. C. A. building will begin in two weeks, according to the present understanding. The citizens generally are very much interested in the success of the movement. Conference has been held with the management of the white Y. M. C. A. and prominent business men ending with the understanding that everything was in readiness to push things to a finish. Better quarters are needed for the colored young men if they are to be held in line for the best purposes of their creation. The men of the present organization have been faithful in standing to an organization that stands for the best in manhood in spite of the stuffy quarters and poor facilities. The Y. M. C. A. is not a help to them only as we are apt to think; it is a sign of civilization; it is a sign of Christianity; it is a sign of morality—things which the total citizenship has to do as well as those we think of being immediately benefited. The Y. M. C. A. is a strong arm of the Christian church as an organization—any church based on moral tenets as generally understood. THE PHILOSOPHY OF THAT FIGHT Many of us are greatly disappointed because of the turn of the advertised great fight of Jack Johnson, the champion heavyweight and Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight. Some are trying to see it differently than the way it is plainly presented. The fight was declared off because in addition to the usual opposing sentiment in civilized countries, there were yet those who are powerful politically, who saw beyond the fight into its possible consequences. England has possessions made up of colored peoples; not all Negroes, yet millions of these, and millions of others who are in some sense pooling their issues on the question of race superiority. They cannot see it, either from the standpoint of intelligent manhood or from the standpoint of the Christian religion, that they are to look upwards to some other race as patrons or masters. There is social unrest the world around, bearing at this time more specifically on the thing of color—or race. The tendency is to shake off the shackles in the interest of greater consideration for man regardless of color. The thoughtless, perhaps, will not see so much in the proposed prize fight as we have suggested, when in fact the consequences are right at hand and not things of conjecture. A fight between Johnson and Wells at this time, under the circumstances would do more to accentuate race feeling than a mob and its burning victim. And from a Negro race viewpoint, it will doubtless be said that the world needs a great big lesson of the kind. Yet a propaganda of another kind would prove just as efficacious and one which could receive the plaudits of all men. We are for Johnson as a fighter, merely; not as an advanced agent of the Negroes' crusade against the inferiority notion. We wish to think of Johnson as incidentally the best physical man, but do not wish to be involved in a race struggle growing out of his formidability. The English people have learned of Reno, what it meant in America when for the first time there was universal demonstration on the part of Negroes because a Negro beat a white man. The lesson, perhaps, was wholesome, but it was very, very dangerous. Another such a one and lives will be lost. There are better causes for sacrifice if that be the route to greater consideration.

Beauregard Moseley, the school's manager, is one of the chief promoters. AT THE PARK THEATER. "The Convict's Daughter," which will be the attraction at the Park theater, Indianapolis, October 9, 10 and 11, is the one we see in the movie, comedy-dramalong offered to the theater going public, while in incident and theme it is most powerful, even elicimax breaking with almost volcanic intensities. So much by way of introduction, no one can forget the play itself, can be said to detract from its worth. In the entire company, from the actor who interprets the leading role, down to the character of the lead, a single person who has been negligently selected or unintelligently cast. This comedy-drama, which lacks all the melodramatic thunder of by-gone days, its herald and sounds its own alarm. Nothing has been sacrificed to appearances, for there is brought together a series of incidents that hold the interest as a pleasing fleshee to a story that is said to be so compelling. The situations, the motives, the characters commingle without the least jarring or tugging or straining, giving a pleasing fleshee to a story that is said to be so compelling. The develop quickly and break magnificently while the lighter moments are as rolling as a Sousa march, the sentimental frames being truly natural and the witty with laughter as the lights which adorn the stage. CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW. By Sylvester Russell. Greatest All-Colored Bill of the Season at Motts' Pekin Theater. Buddy Gilmore, Frank Kirk and Fanny Wise Score Big. Motts' Pekin had the best show of the week. Glimore, Kinky and Glimore broke all records for singing and dancing. He new departure of Buddy Glimore's trumpet and Jimmy Glimore imbedded by electric lights of assorted colors made a distinct hit. Frank Kirk, a musical acrobatic tramp, was a newcomer to the music scene. He only funny from start to finish, but is exceedingly clever; his musical oddities and his home-made calliope alone was a great novelty. Fanny Wise did the best of his work, and he took. Her numbers were of the best and she was in fine voice. Bailey and Bailey were not behind. So clever is her voice, so beautiful is her tone. Mr. Bailey that he was applauded to the echo. "Her Other Husband," a roaring force, but a good one, comprised of Cliff White Chase, Gilpin dithered, White Chase, Gilpin dithered. Bulah Ray White was very much at home and showed talent as an actress, and Anna Willis made a good impression. Jimmy Glimore vim.

Zimbabwe, the German Negro feather-westers, will go to Pittsburgh in a few weeks. He thinks it about the best sport he is now in Indianapolis. LOS ANGELES,—Three important matches practically were closed here a short time since. The Largest football team agreed to Tom McCarey's terms for a bout to be staged at the Verizon some time next month over the very-round route, and Frankie Conley, who meets Johnny Kilbane on Saturday, will play on a Monte Attell and Tom Dawn in the east. Boxing bouts will be permitted in New York. The new law requires an athletic card to be on a $10,000 bond. It then allows license from the commission. Fights limited to ten rounds, with eight-glove instead of twelve-glove under the rules. The buildings in which they are held must have exits, stairs and other provisions against risk. If any of the conditions are made or if the fight proves a sham or the cliche sense is to be forced to occur of fake signs the boxers are notablished. Jack Johnson announces that he will leave from the ring at the conclusion of his present engagement in the English mall balls. "I have fought and defeat of the best heavyweights in the world and have made enough money to pay on the last me for some time, I will earn of my life, in fact, I hope I will earn quite a little on the American stage, and am satisfied to retire on my laurels. I had hoped to fight Bob Berdler Wells here. I think the public has to prevent that, I will return the states as soon as my thea- contract expires here and retire from the game." JOE JEANETTE WANTS TO MEET LANGEORD IN FRANCE. NEW YORK—Joe Jeanette so far has defined to box another ten-round bout with Sam Langford, but says he is an enthusiast of the ring in France. The fact that these rivals drew big money in the recent Garden bout and put up one of the most sensational scraps ever seen in the ring, they match here would prove even more profitable. If Jeanette really believes that Langford fears him, sporting men my he will soon agree to another ten-round bout. The question of doubt that he is the better man. Langford's followers insist that the twenty-four-foot ring in the Garden has been the best of them and they are demanding a smaller ring if another fight is arranged. JUST HAD TO BE OUT—NO PLACE ON BASES FOR HIM. Two colored baseball teams, the Atlanta Deppeens and the Birmingham Gold Dusts, were playing a wind-up ball. The pitcher questioned had been bothering both sides, a brand new colored arbiter, who admitted that he was a sure enough umpier was engaged. In the ninth inning, the pitcher occurred the catching balls all occupied, with no outs. An ominous batter stepped up to the plate, and the pitcher, who was a trideem ball, returned the catching "one ball," yelled the Negro umpire. Again the pitcher shot the sphere. "Ball two" called the umpire. With the indicator shouted, "Three balls!" Once more the ball went wide of the plate. "Four balls—you're out!" howled the pitcher. "Play the batter almost fell for food." "What?" he yelled, "me out? Wah" we sit dat, nigger." Now, look-a-ha-h, man," said the umbrella, "you just gota be out, 'cause dey do no room for you on de bases and I has to put any of dose odder men off."

LONDON, September 27.—The fight for the heavyweight championship of the world between Bombardier Wells, the english soldier, and Jack Johnson, the British boxer, was when Judge Bush issued an injunction against the promoters and the fighters. The court held that the fight would endanger the license of Earl's Court, where he have been held, and acted on the application of the proprietor of that resort. Jack Johnson, the conqueror of Jim Jones, is broke. The heavyweight championship in the United States is a little more than a year ago, after he whipped Jeffries, $100,000 to the good, and who has been making money nearly ever since, could not, apparently, as acted by many close observers, stand propposed and is now facing the problem of "financing" the lawsuit that the Negro is broke and this is the main reason of his great anxiety $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN.

Wells next week. night with Hombardier Wells next week. He was learned from Johnson's trainer, Mark W. Wells and others, that Johnson has been able to pawn his motor car and his diamonds before leaving Paris to come to London for the light. Johnson is reduced to so much money that he is unable to pay his manager, the secretary, or his wife's maid. Also, it is known that he could only buy them third-class tickets from Paris to London and traveled second class with his instead of first class, as is customary. Discussing the matter, Tex Rickard said: "It is true. I have no reason to doubt it. He looks very seedy. He has $125 since fighting Jeffries. This sum is the amount of the winnings in addition to receipts from the theatrical engagements." Trainer Cutter admitted that he had received no money for recent services. He has been able to please Jack pleaded with him to wait until after the fight. Since coming to London he has also dismissed his white valet. He looks in much better physical condition than going to Paris to train, and he can inflate air and seems very much depressed. It is the talk of his associates that he has the right to face, it is also reported that he has had many conversations with his white wife, the last occurring in a Paris cafe, where she declared he had been a victim of a rape, she shapped her face. The fight officials admit that he has put his last penny in bets on the fight and that he will be ready cash if the fight is not pulled off. BEAR SCARES JIM JEFFRIES FormerHeavyweight Champion Meets Big Brown Beast in Alaskan Wilds. TACOMA, Wash.—A Seward, Alaska, cable says that James J. Jeffries, lost another goat there last week. eBfore going north Jeffries boasted that he had a goat that ran into the run. While camped at the mouth of Kelley river the ex-champion took his fishing rod to get a mess of trout for supper. fishing was fine, but good looking holes just beyond him took him further and further from camp. Just as the basket was full Jeffries saw what he had wanted. ruin was fishing also, but having had Jeff he had been used to looking along his rifle at little black bears in California weighing 400 pounds, but here was a man's size brown bear that would drop the scales at 1,800. Jeffries waved his arms and yelled BRAVE! for his tall height and curling back his upper lip disclosed eight pounds of ivory as he growled. Jeffries is said to have run two miles to the beach and contends forbid the shooting of brown bears. JOHNSON-WELLS FIGHT IS DE- NOUNCED IN LONDON—MAN- AGERS ARE DEFIANT. LONDON, Eng—The Johnson-Wells prize fight was denounced in countless sermons in this city recently. The principal speaker was the Rev. Mr. Moore of the University, Mr. Moore who started the movement against the proposed battle at Earl's Court. He protested that prize fighting was demoralizing and brutal and also that it would be more effective against the white people against the Negroes in America, South Africa and India. "Of course, I shall not do it, but I would like to break into the ring and say to the big Negro and the white champion, 'You are brothers,'" said Rev. Myers. There was a big crowd outside the chapel expecting to see Johnson go into church, because he did not show up so soon. He did not enter and up the crowd thought at first that it was the champion; but the visitor modestly admitted that he was not Johnson. It was reported that Winston Churchill consulted the officers of the Crown with regard to the legal aspects of the case. In the meanwhile the promoters say that it will go on. They declare that they will win, and ignorance, prejudice and misconception. Johnson, when interview in Paris, said that he was "tetchy." The English man was "tetchy." The English man, and he was not getting fair play. The London fight was a matter of indifference to him, as there were dozens of other places which would not have come to the fight. "It's just this, you don't want me to win, and that's the truth," said Johnson; "but I am going to win. That's what I want to do." At me because I would not fight for $5,000. Why should I fight for $5,000 when I can get $15,000? I am over here for the money, if the fight is stopped there in Paris and get a large crowd." WHAT'S BEING SAID. The Fight That Didn't Come Off. LONDON.—James White, the promoter of the Johnson-Wells fight, intimated the other day that the fight will take place as scheduled at Earl's Court on October. White, the promoter, observed one attempt to interfere with the fight and says the Home Secretary has no authority to stop it. Johnson will continue his training near Earl's Court in a day or two. Johnson is daily and weekly, teems with columns about the Johnson-Wells fight. Archbishops, bishops and the clergy of all denominations, peers and politicians and the people are giving feeling against the team is of the strongest sort and that it is growing stronger. This feeling arose at first out of the desire for matching a youngster against a senior. There is no doubt feeling against the team is of the strongest sort and that it is growing stronger. This feeling arose at first out of the desire for matching a youngster against a senior. Since then the color question has been introduced, and never before has the color question been so discussed in England. It is not based upon conditions in England, but upon conditions in parts of Empire where the question looms large. The Outlook asks the pertinent question: "The If we were convinced that Wells could outclass the victorious black man be so serious to deny him the triumph." In the meanwhile appeal has been made to the Home Secretary, Winston Churchill, for discussion rages as to whether it can legally be done until the men are in the ring and have actually transgressed the PARIS.-Jack Johnson, the Negro champion, who has been training here for his fight with Bombardier Wells on October 2, says he knows all the latter's rules. He also knows the round of training on his own ideas. For two hours running he takes a brick walk in the Bois de Boulonne in the Paris suburb of dumbbells, skipping and Swedish gymnastics and another hour in sparring. In the afternoon he spends three hours playing pichlech. He stopped giving his exhibitions in the Magic City. He says his match with Wells is much too serious for him to comply with the expositions of the show. They want lively exhibitions THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. The colored champion tried so hard to satisfy them that one day during the week Cutler, one of his sparring partners, was reopened a wound he received during the Reno fight with Jeffries. "No more of this," said Johnson. "I can count the wound this way with a big fight coming off." Jackson laughs at the action of the English clergymen who are trying to advertise the match. The black champion says he is surprised to find that the French have some real fighters as we are," said Johnson, "and maybe I will fight my first big fight this winter." A LIGHTWEIGHT SCRAPPER IN DISGUISE. Irvin Cobb tells a story of a little, wry negro who went into a resort in Natchez, displayed a large roll of bills and bought a drink. The was paying for it another negro came in, very large and very black. He looked at the little man and said: "Nigger, what you git all dat money the little negro, by way of reply, "Ah think Ah shall tek a bottle of dat-ah stuff. "Pears quite satisfyin' tuh meh." "Niggh, roared the big one, "what you git it, ast you. Is the town bly, I is. I follows buylin' fo a trade. Whar you git it?" The little negro began stuffing the money into his pockets. "Seems to me," he muses, "nuff pockets to hold your wealth." The big negro jumped at the little one "You hear what I said?" he demanded. "T's the town bully an' I wanter know what you git all dat ronte" he negro upper-cut the big one, catching him on the point of the jaw and knocking him down. In a moment the big negro revived, enough to look up from the floor and ask humbly, "Niggh, who is you, anyhow?" Why, replied the little one, blows his mouth in the punch you thought you wuz when you come in." Saturday Evening Post. EIGHT DIDN'T GO. Too Much Involved—Would Give Impetus to Race Question—What Jack Johnson Will Do. By Billy. As the date of the promised Johnson-Wells fight dre wniher the chances of it being pulled off grew bluer until the blow fell that upset the hopes of the well as others who were anxious to know if Negro Jack Johnson was really the best man living. The civilized world, one may say, was interested; it was growing more so daily; the event portance. The new theater—the locality—the significance internationally viewed—a very Napoleon essaying the world to conquer added to the contest, and have been the colossus of the present day universe. White men of whatever nationality did not care for anything of the kind. At another day England and the rest of Europe stepped the memer of the national alliance," and for the "good of civilization." Another Waterloo has been enacted in a way, and according to many, for the good of civilization. It is a great accomplishment more than a contest for the superiority of two men, or even two classes of men. It easily reached out so as to include nations, countries, owing to the times of the past, and the colored races, are asserting themselves and white men are resisting. Here we live at peace with the Negro, but time after time in the wide white-rules world. It has been shown that it is now of the morbile races physically humiliate one of the "ruling race." This is a phase of the race problem of which we, as a people, know little. But it is the great world race problem that stares Britain in the face." * * * * * From the standpoint of sport what has happened is to be deplored. But from the standpoint of the fitness of the Negro, not just Jack Johnson-Wells fight was happy and timely. The Negroes have something to advance by way of good as resulting from the decision. But not to view Jack Johnson as a fighting propaganda going around the world as an example of the Negro end of America's productivity, when the chances are so great for making enlightened sports phases it would be different. But no; it gets to be a big race question. It got to be a big race question in America, the echoes of which are still heard. There are quieter means and just as important to humiliate the world that we are also somebody. Then Johnson has not acted in such a manner as to recommend himself. His wife has not been the public eye—trying to vie with kings and noblemen—spending his money as they do and so forth. Of course so is his wife, and more often than phy to realize his offensiveness. People will always want to see him; so will they want to see an elephant, simply because they want to see him. They took the familiarity as a social recognition even with a wife that rumor has abused most badly. He did not count on the public to recognize a very polite term for something else. When Johnson failed in his Dublin fight without any subsequent explanation he should have smelt a rat—a mouse anyhow. Not one word has been uttered as why he should have been Dublin. He should have had the feeling that white men are white the globe around and that black men are black the men in the room. They can’t diffuse their feelings like they can. And furthermore they do not want to. About the time of this proposed fight, Johnson was his home country, saying that he would there to live. “Why should I?” says he “why when I was victorious at Reno did I applaud me?” Applause, applause, eat that. Could he ride to Dublin on it? After all, Johnson will find, after looking around, that “there’s no place where I can say when mentioning this same idea a few days had it that Tom Paine wrote that song, I had my Pain(es) mixed. I meant Howard Payne and not the irreligious fellow who perhaps didn’t need any home. In my opinion nothing big, like Johnson's looking for, is going to come off in Europe. In the first place, they don't to money, in any such terms for such a large amount for there means about $9,000 for a fight based on the purchasing value of a dollar. It will be very difficult to bring Englishmen or Europeans to see the face of such an attack, contests. Gradually Johnson is getting his hopen, and getting according homesick. he wants to come to these dear United States. And it's dollars to doughnuts he thank his Master when he is now waiting on State street, Chicago once more. Don't think there's going to be any swell amphitheater in Paris and all the rest. He says that he has money incident to him. No the lawman. All desire to see him above want on this side. No one wants to see him such a fool as to fritter his money away and die like the rest of the set—penitless or want. The latest from London in reference to Johnson: After finishing my contracts in England and public again. I shall retire as heavy-weight champion of the world, which no man has ever done before." The lawyer White, with their lawyers, appeared in the Oblw Street Police Court and consented to cancel the contest whereupon the magistrate adjourned without date the prosecution which had been brought against them. The decision was directly due to the injunction issued yesterday against the magistrate of the district railway company, the freeholders, who alleged that their license would be endangered if the fight was permitted in their building. The freeholders talk of holding the contest in Paris. THE FIGHT THAT FAILED The Two Men Compared-Jack Johnson and Bombadier Wells. LONDON—Bombardier Wells is in training at Putney and Earl's Court and Jack Johnson in Paris. Reports from their respective headquarters state that the championship heavyweight contest will take place on October 2 in the Empress Hall, Earl's Court, now used as a roller skating rink, and one of the largest halls in London. Its seating capacity is 185. It is also a bedroom for several thousand more. There has been a 'great outcry here against the match. Wells has not yet come to his full strength. He is still little more than a novice. But he promptly decries the weight, a thing that the English ring has not turned out for years. It is, therefore, thought a pity to put him up against Johnson, as the defeat, which he must experience may be so severe that he may be unable to reeer, he may never fully recover from it. A writer in the Times makes an elaborate comparison of the two boxers. Of Johnson he says: "He has a trick of the mind, but he has no skill of the opponent which is worthy of the cleverest exponent of jiu jitsu, and depending as it does on an exact knowledge of the spots where the nerves approach the surface not only irritates the opponent but also elastics of his biceps. Then again he has always made adroit use of his tongue in championship contests. His bitter sweet taunts uttered in a purrring voice and with an infantile smile caused him to be so irritated that he paired the imperturbability of Jeffries. As regards the rest of his system of tactics, subtlety—amounting to obscurity—perhaps the charisma of an enerring judgment of distance—qualities which distinguish the artist from the artisan in the boxer's abbreviated sphere of actions. So much is manifest, but all the rest is so veiled in obscurity that those who are accustomed to the plain art of boxing cannot grasp the secrets of his effectiveness. They say, for example, that he has not a punch in either hand, and that his weight is shifting of his weight from one foot to the other supplies all the force required for the leisurely lightning of his hooks and jabs. Again like all the best American champions, he knows that two or three comparatively light blows to the same useful spot may do more to break down an opponent than power than the most spectacular punch. For this and other reasons it is customary to say that his style is essentially decisive. The description is customary in the book, but that he leaves the bulk of the leading to his opponent. The boxer who leads must always leave himself open to the opponent, and thus it indicates the form of the attack and delivers his counter stroke quickly enough he gains an advantage which may, of course, be decisive. A certain power physical and mental as the opponent can see into the other man's brain pan) and an extraordinary swiftness of co-operation between eye and hand enable the boxer to move more quickly than any other heavyweight boxer the writer has ever seen. It is astonishing how often his counter gets home before his opponent's lead; herein lies the velled effectiveness and obscure His favorite counter is an accurate and absturge right uppercut, a blow that apparently comes out of the nowhere but into the nowhere too well, is so forcible that no guard can prevent it fro jarring terribly. The one weak point in his physique seems to be his stomach, that instrument of torture. He brought up o n the nutritious but unlivening corn cake. Johnson would have us believe that he rather likes a good bourbon, but he takes such pains—even in exhibition bouts—to protect it with his elbows that we must decline to regard the evidence of our eyes as a malicious libel. In the matter of physique Wells is not, nor ever will be, the equal of Johnson. His drooping chin and swan-like neck and unprotected middle story are remarkable features of a cultural culture can cure completely or even conceal; they are so manifest indeed, that no opponent will ever be at a loss for success in the game against him. It must be admitted that he is no longer the spiderlike person who allowed himself to be wrestled into unconsciousness by Gunner Moya a former world champion. He proved the muscles of his neck and shoulders since then, and, as appeared in his fight with Ian Hargue for the Lonsdale heavyweight belt and the WBC heavyweight belt, he take an occasional thump with equanimity. As a setoff to these too obvious disadvantages he has a very long reach and is as quick on his feet as any man, and he can be doubt that he possesses a number of unusual severity in either hand. Indeed, he should be able to hit as hard as Fitzsimmons did in his prime when he comes to his full strength, and he can punch, the effect of which depends on perfect timing, causes the enuilight- ened spectator to underrate the force thereof. Even Johnson will find it difficult to get past his elongated straight arm, but he will underrate the everlasting little stabs in the face baby hits delivered with a turn of the wrist, which adds much to their power of attack. He is armed, she is armed, she is armed from the pistonport of an arm. In his earlier fights some of the military boxer's characteristic faults were evicited, including his mechanical and 'according to his hits he were often signified. ut he has outgrown these defects of his apper- nence and the element of unexpected-ness may keep even Johnson guessing at times.
