HILLES FOR·NATIONAL CHAIRMAN. Clarke Training School Doing a Good Work-Bishop Walters at Muskegee Institute-Pullman Parties to be Protected-News in General. By R. W. Thompson. Colored Delegates "Stayed Put." The peculiarly gratifying feature of the Chicago convention was the unshakable role of the colored delegates to their pleasures and instructions. Californians threatened, tempted and persecuted, and besieged at every turn for humiliation, device, these gallant southerners stood as firmly as the Rock of Gibraltar and sent from their moorings. Sent to the convention by their constituents to vote against their him from start to finish, and without a doubt, they demonstrated that the Negroes character and courage—that in great need he can be trusted. They could not be beaten. The Negroes heightened than before the esteem of the nation. North and South why reason of the strong and incompetent position taken by these delegates at Chicago was this healthful condition of affairs given to Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, who labored early and late to bring to South in line for the President's remembration and succeeded in holding him, despite the desparate odds he was faced with a face week after week throughout the states. Col. Johnson, flanked by able "experienced lieutenants like Napier, of Tennessee; Cohen, of Louisiana; McDonald, and Lee, of Florida," man of the Chicago convention, as far as the Negro's part in the masterly presentation concerned. His amiable presentation in other states, in Georgia, Florida, and other southern states, clearly won the day for the administration, and it goes without the slightest accretion of the bearded leader of the forces in the field during the national campaign that is now wide open. He has shown himself to be a fearless champion of the right, a skillful lawyer, a politician, a strategist and a man who commands the treasury and the esteem of his own people, as well as the friendship and ready support of the most powerful factors of the white race on the land. There cannot be "Too Much Johnson" in the terrific battle that is to wage from now until November. Taft Deserved Renomination Taft Deserved Renomination. As has been said before in these columns and now repeated for emphasis, President Taft has been given the authority at the hands of his party. It is customary to give a second term to a chief executive who "makes good." There has been who, Mr. Taft should have been denied his honor, as plain as a pikistaw that he kept his pledges to the people, and on the tariff, handling of trusts, foreign relations, protection of the land for a continuance in position of Mr. Taft. The Republican party has failed to "score." Would it have been wise to have made this admission by refusing President Taft the vote of endorsement and an environment of candidate admiration? Without declaring that Mr. Taft has not made mistakes, it cannot be gainsaid that he has rendered excellent service, grown in strength with the colored people, they have come to understand the real breadth of his policies. He understands the Negro problem better now than he did in years before, he benefits the benefit of his enlarged vision during his next four years in the White House. The pilots at the helm are not blind to the rocks that menace the craft's community, and watch the channel closely as they steer down the line of danger. President Taft can be re-elected—if the party will, in its place do what it knows best what to do. Due note will be taken of every advantageous situation as it develops. It is stated that a meeting of the party will be scheduled shortly, and a comprehensive plan of action will be marked out. The Chicago Platform. While the Negro is benefited by all of the remedial agencies mentioned in the platform adopted at Chicago, he is not the only person to think things that bear upon his rights as a citizen. Two clauses in the platform appeal to the race with especial emphasis on the very plainness and directness of the phraseology carries more force than if it "slobbered" or thundered too loudly in the index. These planks are impressed. The Republican party reaffirms its intention to uphold at all times the authority and integrity of the courts, both State and Federal, and it will ever insist that their powers to enforce their property shall be preserved inviolate. Again: "We call upon the people to quicken their interest in public affairs, to conform to the laws of law, to form of lawlessness, and to strengthen in all possible ways a respect for law and an observance of it." The foregoing excerpts will wormly discuss our people, and will be amplified by editorial writers and orators on the stump. President Taft is to talk to the people from time to time, and it will do so with colored people with perfect frankness, reiterating the sentiments of his recent speech in denunciation of lynching and taking the highest ground for a more vigorous protection of the who, and the rights of citizens. In the improvement of conditions, in the improvement of the courts in meting out punishment to offenders against civil rights laws and to classify lynchers as murderers, to firmly to fit the crime, must be a vital force. Secretary Hilles for National Chairman. The assurance that Secretary Charles D. Hilles is to be chairman of the national committee gives universal satisfaction and purpose. He is especially pleased to have him in charge. Under him, there is certain to be a square deal. Everybody who is worth anything will have a chance to work, and will be offered a deal. Mr. Hilles shows himself to be a shrewd political general, and he will be followed with absolute confidence by the party. From the outset of the meeting, Mr. Hilles is the logical man for the place, a fact pointed out by your correspondent at the time the national committee met here last December. By all means, let Mr. Hilles be made chairman of the national committee. The leaders will fall in behind him and hold up his hands to the limit of their capacity. With Mr. Hilles as commander-in-chief, the president—as they must be—the re-election of President Taft in November is regarded as one of the "surest things" of the year.

Bishop Waters at Tuskegee Race Conference Bishop Alexander Walters, speaking to your correspondent, had many good things to say of the recent World's Congress of Races at Tuskegee Institute, which drew together the ablest drivers of law and the most advancements set on foot by the progress of peoples of the earth. The bishop was greatly impressed by all he saw and heard at Tuskegee, and shared with the visitors from abroad the amazement encountered in manifold operations carried on by this wartime school.

Dr. Parrish Delivers Commencement Address - Wedding Bells. By Lee L. Brown, 1006 W. Chestnut St. A large number of the teachers are leaving the city for summer resorts and to take summer courses in some of our best schools in the country. They have access to the university and can take summer courses. The position of principal of Central Colored high school is still vacant. Everyone is guessing as to the name of the lucky person. The field is filled with applicants, with everyone a hot favorite. Louisville will send a delegate to the National Negro Business League, which is based in Chicago. President Parker is using every effort to make the local league worth while. Rev. C. H. Perrish, who has been continue to his bedside is able to be out again. Last Friday he delivered the commencement address before the students and teachers of the Russell high school, Lexington, Ky. The opera house was crowded with students and teachers in that room, papers as the Returned Lexington Boy, and his address was published in full on the following morning in the Lexington papers. Among the many interesting facts about the following: and convinced that knowledge and character despine no one on account of color, but they abide with all who obey their laws; and convinced that they reward and administer her punishments. Her waves will swallow up the millionaires as well as the pauper. I saw the other day where a stalwart of the Negro community when it realizes that the Negroes have acquired in the last fifty years over $1,000,000.00 in real estate and that they own $180,000.00 in farms, on which they own oiled as slaves. This is the one doing something and our lads are in the ring. Wedding bells are still ringing in Louisville. Cupid is very busy. Miss Prima Fitzbutter, whose wedding was scheduled to take place at the White Episcopal church, was quietly married at her home after evening. It seems that the number of the guests were disappointed as to the place of the wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Waring will leave for the Windy City this week (Chicago is the place where all of them seem to so soon after marriage). Miss Prima Fitzbutter, Mrs. Waring, lady. stole a march on a number of her friends last Sunday night, and was quietly married to Mr. James Davis, of Delaware, Lt. The bride and groom, like all the rest, was queen of Chicago. The ceremony was performed by Rev. L. G. Jordan, of the Baptist Forensic rooms. Miss Jianmin Adams, who was the bridesmaid in the Davis-Brown wedding, left for Arkansas, Kan., Monday morning. We have reliable information that another very popular young lady will cast 'her hat in the ring' in a short while by marrying some out-of-town lad. We are expected this week to invade the territor yof our Friend Tolbert, that is, will make a flying trip to Frankfort, Ky., a few hours, and will give a full report next week. The Freeman has put on the last page on the paper for punishment. I suppose, because we have had acting a little greedy by trying to take up all of the space in the paper. It has been said that the recent high school was the best one in the history of the school. It seems that Melville Pericerian away all the oratorical honors.

Did you ever known John C. Dancy to fall to land on his feet? You cannot be the "whole cheese." There is always bound to be others. There are people who do not accept noise, bluster and brag as a substitute for logic. President Taft deserves full credit for "strong-arming" menage out of the Southland. Although the cost or living steadily increases, there are still a lot of folks who have nerve enough to indulge in matrimony. A few Odd Fellows may go to the Atlanta B. M. C. to elect somebody. More will to keep somebody from being elected. One cannot rid himself too soon of the selfish friend(") whose attachment stays put only so long as you can be used to grind a personal axe. A near-statesman, who realizes the title of "The Sage of the Potomac" to conceal his identity, is still inflicting a job-lot of insane drivel upon the readers of the Washington Bee. The office of supervising architect of the Treasury was vacant such a short time that neither W. Sidney Pittman nor John Anderson Lankford got a chance to put in a bid for it. The national emancipation celebration, for which the senate has voted $250,000, some reason the same reason that the original proposition failed. Too much "vest-pocket" leadership. Charles Banks, the moving spirit of modern Mound Bayou, Miss., is to have a "loving cup." The way to keep a man working is to show proper appreciation of the good things he has done and is doing. Jim Corbitt will never be happy until he discovers a "white goo" who can put Jack Johnson out of business. Conversely, his own comorbidity or that growth he exhibits every Sunday in his letter on the sports of the day. Editor G. C. Clement, of the Star of Zion, aptly describes the recent Zion conference as a "negative" body. It will go down in history for the things it declined. The motion of Editor Clement, however, is one of the right things the conference did. If the over-ambitious gentleman who figured in the "scattering" column at Chicago in 1981, the leaders in the bishopric race the Zion church today would have had a full bench, and two very able divines would have been spared a four-years' wrestle with the pangs of "hope deferred."

Fire limits will be established, within which no frame buildings can be erected. The structures can now be put up almost as cheaply as frame buildings, lasting longer and offering a larger degree of safety. Our journalists and magazine writers are hearkening unto the recent warning of Dr. Booker T. Washington not to be afraid of fire, and the stories today show marked improvement in literary method. Simple language is the rule and the theme is handled directly into the story, elaborate into catchy titles tiresome to chuckle. "C across the lots and say what you have to say at once," advises the Tuskegee Wizard. "Little Bay Beach," on a cozy bay near the Atlantic ocean, just out of Norfolk, owned by L. W. Bright, the genial "mine folk," and the labor unions of the folk, gives promise of becoming one of the most popular summer resorts on the coast south of Cape May. Mr. Bright has enlarged his facilities for fishing, boating and camping, and has expected there during the next three months. "Lem" Bright is a prince of good fellows, and holds his friends with hooks of steel because he "meets everybody on the level and parts with them on the square." The colored waiter has a fine chance to "make good" while the nrenzied labor agitators are struggling with the hotel of others. When he is in his place in the dining rooms of the best hostelier, he is simply taking back the place that belongs to him by the logic of being a "strike-breaker," for the unions have no compunction about denying him the right to earn his bread in any of the callings they control. The Negro has the labor unions of the simple reason that the labor unions have no use for him. Says the Durham Reformer, with absolute verity: "Dr. Thirkield's elevation to the bishopric leaves a vacancy at Howard University, and he is honored to aspire.

LEADER OF CUBAN UPRISING FAILS TO CARRY OUT THREATS WASHINGTON — With an uninterrupted line of communication by wireless and cable between Washington and New York, the Navy Departments in eastern Cuba and no reports whatever of any serious attempt by the Negro rebel leader, Antifascist forces, to threat to hang all foreigners and to destroy their property, officials here began to assume that this was one of the ordinary paper utterances so common in the West Indies and Central America. Apparently, Admiral Usher, in charge of the naval contingent at Guantanamo and right in the heart of the insurrection, was able to control the situation, for he has made no request for additional marines or naval force, such as might be necessary to foreign life or serious danger to foreign life, property, which he has been charged to protect. Higher officials of the navy feel deeply concerned at the serious interruption of the elaborate program of fleet drills and exercises, caused by the diversion of so many of the big battleships and auxiliaries that are $180,000,000 worth of naval vessels," one said up in duty for which they are quite unified and which might be performed by the military department. A movement already is afoot to get the battleships away from Cuba in time to resume the execution of the summer's program in Narraarsenet Bay by July 1. READ THE WORDS OF OTHERS Gentlemen. I cannot begin to tell you all the benefits I have received since the arrival of the two specimens of Loadstones you sent me. For many years I was convinced that no person lived who was more unfortunate than myself. Loss in business; death of loved ones and other troubles too numerous to mention, were driving me to a state of frenzy. A friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort I did so, and later purchased two of them. Since then the great change in my career has been so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief. My business increased rapidly, and not a thing has occurred to mar my state of happiness. You are at liberty to use this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about through the power and influence of two Loadstones.

I was all out of sorts myself and wondered what had happened to cause so much discord all at once. Finally I remembered the Loadstones and began to search for them. A few days later I found them tucked away in my machine drawer where one of the children had put them. Now everything as far as I am concerned, is moving along nicely, but my husband, who laughed when the Loadstones first arrived, has changed his tune, and has sent you an order for a pair for himself.

After a brief honeymoon on the New England coast Mr. and Mrs. Morris will be "at home" to their friends at 11 North Fullerton avenue, Montclair, Dr. Gwathney Entertains Dentists. Dr. A. J. Gwathney, the popular dentist, entertained the Robert T. Freeman Dental Association last Saturday night at a *Mirin's* cafe, in honor of his guests, sponsored to appropriate toasts, paid high tributes of character and professional labors of the host. Dr. Gwathney graduated from Howard's dental department in Maine and Connecticut for her practicing in an institution, owing to his proficiency as an apprentice before coming to Washington. He was demonstrator of dentistry in the early days of the department, and gave eminent satisfaction. He has also served as president of the Robert T. Freeman Dental Association. He is one of the pioneers in dental care here and numbers among his patrons some of the best people of the District. "Loving Cup" for Dr. Wormley. Dr. C. Summer Wormley, one of Washington's best known and most popular dentists, has resigned his position as superintendent of the dental department because of his commitment to account on account of the extraordinary pressure of his private practice. For eleven years he rendered capable service to the community, this important branch of the race's greatest beneficiary for higher education of the race, and developed the department from a mere school to a school and infirmary, with an equipment school, the entire country, and its graduates are found prospering in nearly every state in the Union and in many foreign lands. With the $25 million of materials, equipment and permanent improvements, the graduating class for the current year, numbering thirty-four, has been out in the history of the university. As a mark of personal esteem and in recognition of his signal services in advance of the interviews, the dental department House Medical Graduation class a few evening ago presented to Dr. Wormley a massive silver loving cup, which the reitring students were encouraged to hold of his deep sense of appreciation, and in which he emphasized the paramount importance of service as the final test of his training. The presentation address, voicing the hearty good will of the students, was delivered by W. H. Whitted, president of the Dental School, and officers are Leonard E. Sargent, vice president; Walter W. Whitfield, Jr., secretary; J. D. Moses, treasurer; Robert M. Tribble, explain; Alex W. Farebee, sergeant-at-arms. Dr. Wormley was one of the founders of the Robert T. Freeman Dental Association, complete with colored dentists in the District, named in honor of the first colored dentist to practice his profession in Washington, and served two terms as its president. He is active in the Dental Association and has read some able papers before conventions of that body. He prepared the dental exhibit of Howard Anderson, a national attention at the Institute of Dental Aragues, held not long since at Toronto. As an officer in the Mu-So-Lit Club, the S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society and the S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society, he the chairs of the leading churches, Dr. Wormley has done much to advance the civic and social and musical status of the race. His violin A. H. Burleigh, the ranking barry Burrleigh, he has appeared in all of the notable concerts here, and has consented to vary his professional duties, from time to time, to all limited number of interesting engagements in various sections of the country. Dr. Wormley is a fine type of the "new Negro," and the example he sets in industry, crafts and unrestricted life is that he could be matched with profit by every young man of the race.

JURY HOLDS CHAMP JOHNSON. Indictment for Smuggling Will Not Interfere with Fynn Fight. CHICAGO—Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist, and his wife, Etta Johnson, were indicted by the Federal grand jury June 21 for smuggling a diamond necklace. The attacks were made by the pugilist to settle the case by the payment of part of the duty and penalty. The necklace is valued at $3,000, and, with the penalty, the amount due the government is $1,000. The government announced that they would not interfere with the Johnson-Flynn fight July 4. The heavyweight pugilist will be allowed to give bonds at Las Vegas, and after July 4 will be required to return to Chicago to meet the indictment. The government will demand a bond of $5,000.

SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1912. Had to work hard with our mayor at Chicago to hold him down. It would have been better if the Colonel had kept his hat right on his head, where hats belong. June has finally declared itself, living up to its reputation as the most delightful month of the year. Parties are born of necessity—not apparent, but real. The people have a way of knowing when the time is at hand. Vigilance on the part of the authorities has made it possible for a good many more people to take part in the Fourth of July pastimes this year. The National Independent Political League will meet at the Zion Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pa., July 3-5. J. Milton Waldron, D. D., organizer. Chas. Banks, of Mound Bayou, Miss., is out in a circular telling how it happened. We hope Brother Banks has been consistent in all that he had part. Since we come to think of it, a third party would have a downright mission if it would take up the Negroes' cause. They are the only people that are not enjoying progression. The publisher of The Freeman, Geo, L. Knox, got some nice newspaper notices in the daily papers while in Chicago, during the recent convention. He was set down as hobnobbing with the big ones. In what respect does the so-called progressive politics differ from any other kind? We take the liberty to answer: "None whatever." Those differing in opinion will put us under obligation by trotting out a few samples. Those who pretend that they have something new to offer the people under the name of progressives had better watch out, else the road roller will get 'em. A breed of statesmen that scorn power built on deception is the need of the hour—that's some progression. Cary B. Lewis, our well-known Chicago correspondent, battled nobly for his chieftain, Theodore Roosevelt, but it was not to be. Too bad to be numbered with those that might have been. "The saddest words of tongue or pen Are these: It might have been." Watermelon, that one best gift to the human family, is now in its most presentable state. That toughness due to early enforced culture has given way to a lusciousness that defies description. Summer heat in its meridian height is distilling 'neath that fibrous outer rim a very Hebe brew that old Bacchus himself would joy in quaffing. The colored Elks of New York are having a hard row to hoe right along in here. They have been enjoined by the highest court of New York from using the words "Elk" or "Elks," and from wearing the emblems of that order, holding the same as belonging to the white Benevolent and Protective Order. The colored Elks will carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. Still fighting "Grizzly Bear," "Bunny Hug," and "Texas Tommy" dances. The dancing masters were in convention in this city this week. They concluded that the dances named must be kept out of good society. It is said that he college boys picked them up in various places and took them right along with them into the best society. Now they're having a time of it getting them out. The dancing masters say that they have got to go. The nomination of President Taft to succeed himself was logical and to be expected. Any other result would have been violence to a custom sanctioned by sense, time, and which also carried with it an element of individual respect. Had Mr. Taft been a failure, the party would have been justified in declaring for another candidate. In all of the various conventions looking forward to the national convention the administration was held up as successful, or else no reference was made to it at all. Progressives, so called, showed their only distinguishing quality above that of other parties in endeavoring to raid the offices. They wanted a new deal because the offices are good things to have, and not because of the inability of present incumbents. The colored waiters of New York are quoted as saying that they do not care very much about following up their advantage in the New York hotels. The strike of the white waiters is about ended. The proprietors, however, are not turning the colored waiters out; they are giving them the privilege of going or staying. They were employed at $3 per day and room during the strike. They are being offered $30 per month since the strike has ended. The waiters cannot see it that way, preferring the chances at the summer resorts, where they say they can pick up $500 during the season. This may be wisdom on the part of the waiters, yet they have insisted that the union of white waiters was organized to keep them out of the first-class hotels. They now seem to have a chance, and not of their own seeking. But it appears like selling a birthright for a mess of pottage. The temporary jobs at watering places will never equal the prestige that can come to them as waiters in the best hotels in the world. The quick-money opportunity cannot take the place of jobs assured the year round. The waiters should make the very best of their opportunity. THE PASSING OF ROOSEVELT. Chances are against Theodore Roosevelt building about himself a new party. What's the necessity? At the time of the convention it appeared that he had at least the opportunity to do what he still hopes to do, in spite of the fact that there's no necessity. Delegates from various sections and supposedly representative of the people of their sections stood firmly for Mr. Roosevelt, paralleling in a way the memorable convention when Grant stood for a third term. The hero of the Civil War capitulated at the proper moment, not deeming himself the one law-giver of his day, the last hope, and thus setting down the wisdom of all other men as naught. Grant had no new doctrines, no new governmental truths to inflict, as Mr. Roosevelt thinks he has. Had General Grant been chosen President again he would have used the Constitution as his text book, as usual, and the consensus of the opinions of the wise men of the country as supplemental. Mr. Roosevelt would not have permitted such things to have beset him. Mr. Roosevelt has been more or less turbulent through all his career, at no time showing the even disposition of his predecessors. Old Andrew Jackson had a hobby or so; he wouldn't stand for a United States bank; he was in for putting men out of office for political reasons; but these notions so thoroughly advocated by him did not reach the dignity of governing principles, such as strike at the roots of our government and as advocated by Mr. Roosevelt. At Chicago Mr. Roosevelt acted as a master hypnotist, ordering his subjects this way or that way, just as it suited his fancy. And they were as tractable as can well be imagined. Even now, at this time, in the cooling aftermath of that remarkable convention, there is sufficient tendency to follow the Colonel, on the part of many, to justify an effort at national disturbance. But Mr. Roosevelt will make a big political blunder if he thinks to hold a party together long without satisfactory reason for bringing it to pass. It stands to reason that when the Roosevelt standpatters awaken from their slumber there will be some apparently unaccountable desertions from his ranks. The ex-President thinks to appropriate the term progressive, owing to its popularity. This is in accord with his well-known policy of grabbing all that glitters, turning it in on the Roosevelt account. He readily concludes that if his party is made up of progressives, as he would have it appear, that all other parties are something else other than progressives hindrances, obstructionists, and the rest of it, and therefore objectionable to the people. Here is a fine example of Mr. Roosevelt's kind of politics, and right and proper enough for men in ordinary places of life. Most of us protest against seeing a President resorting to sharp practice, political legerdemain, to win favor. He and his kind should be content to be no less than statesmen, scorning the small plays of smaller men—the cheaper routes to popularity. The names of these are legion. Those who would rather be right than be President are greatly in the minority, and a pity that 'tis true. Mr. Taft's party is an aggressive party. Shrewd and wily men may succeed in undermining it, may reduce it of its advertised intent, but the fact remains. Every possible change is not necessarily an improvement. The initiative, the referendum, the recall, are late political fads, born mostly beyond the precincts of school houses, of the heated imaginations, perhaps by men when chafing at all governmental restraint; they tear at the very vitals of the nation Any party that states a principle that tends to improve the general condition of society is a progressive party. The Prohibition party would reduce drunkenness; it would not reduce other conditions permitted in other parties. Is it progressive? Why not make for it? The Socialist party would reduce human poverty and distress; no bad tenet. Is that progressive? Or does progression mean merely getting the offices? Taft's party has not shown itself either stubborn or stupid in trying to improve general conditions. The President has gone out of his way to prove that he was in for progression. He fought the Canadian reciprocity through Congress almost singlehanded. Its failure does not disturb the effort. It only marks the sagacity of the Canadians, who felt that we would be the gainers. He brought down the trusts that Roosevelt only succeeded in treeing, and concerning which Roosevelt has proven reactionary running with the hare holding with the hounds. The platform of the party speaks for his progressive ideas. If Mr. Roosevelt has something better to advance, and by which he hopes to bind together a new party, it's the time to trot it out. Time is the clearing-house of all mooted questions in governments of intelligent peoples. Their doubts and perplexities will endure but for a while, when they for themselves will see that which sometimes passed for wisdom was deception or exaggera- THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER tion for the purpose of misleading the many, to the glory of the few. Hamilton said, in his first paper in the Federalist, urging the adoption of the Constitution: "That the vigor of government is essential to the security of liberty; * * * * their interest can never be separated; and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind a specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidding appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying obsequious court to the people—commencing demagogues and ending trants." GENERAL JONES CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT CINCINNATI, O., June 17.—During the two recent visits of President Taft to the Queen City Gen. Joseph L. Jones, Sumner University Gen. Joseph L. Jones, and editor of the Pythian Monitor, had interesting private conferences with the chief executive. While the exact nature of the interest was not given, the nature of the discussions and phases of the work of the colored K. f P were gone ver carefully and the legal status of the order was discussed at length. A view of the recent opinion on the Georgia injunction case, handed down by Chief Justice White and the Supreme Court, concludes with the exception of Hines and Lardon), the conference is rendered all the more striking. It is hinted in high circles that President Taft appointed Mr. White Chief Justice of the federal tinge and broad sense of fair play possessed by the Louisiana jurist. Since the K. of P. decision the apportionment of Justice has grown very acceptable where unanimous hostility originally reigned. BLOOMINGTON, ILL. Special to The Freeman MIDWAY, KY. (By Jesse Scott.)

Principal's, students and the people at large were delighted with the fine accomplishments delivered and all seemed greatly benefited. Dr. Roman was the "runner-up" candidate for editor of the A. M. E. Church and would have been triumphantly elected had his case been called prior to the elections at which laymen were victors clergy, fearful of the inroads made upon their "preserves" by the laity, tightened up the lines and combined against Dr. Roman, fearful of the inroads could stand up under the fire with which they fought for the remaining "plum," and Dr. Roman, a true philosopher, is accepting the result with characteristic calmness.

JACK JOHNSON BROUGHT DOWN TO DATE—ON WITH THE FIGHT —BUT NO GAMBLING—SEE? Governor McDonald, of New Mexico, will not interfere with the Johnson- right, right, right, Vegas rugs, his decision, involved rugs, spirits. Man thought the governor might hand the managers a bunch at the last moment, just as was done in California. Last Monday Johnson played to 700 visitors in his private stadium. Fifteen cents, please. An advance of one nickel price. Jack puts on extra attractions. Hugh McIntosh wrote Johnson the other day, saying the world价 $10,000 on this side of the pond for the champion's appearance in Australia in the early fall. No opponent was named, Lang Amfang is thought to be the man. *** Jim Flynn is said to be in the very best condition, better than Ryan would have the public believe. Flynn, it is said, can't figure himself other than a winner. That's the dope. Courage is the thing—taking stock in your own trick. Since the announcement of Governor McDonald that he would not interfere with the match, great interest has been with the match. Now that the uncertainty has assured for tickets are pouring in from every side. The Santa Fe railroad is making preparations to park many speeches, yards, and the hotels and restaurants are planning to accommodate large crowds. --- Jack Johnson does not see how he can be dethroned in the East Las Vegas heavyweight championship battle July 14. He has managed his hailight sensative and lef fit lookout, equally confident that the champion is not going to be defeated by Fireman Flynn. Prof. Watson Burns, the faithful head trainer, clings to a like opinion. ** Flanagan and Burns, Johnson's two chief managers, objected to a seventeen-man team that would deny the champion wants considerable room. It was found possible to enlarge the ring to twenty feet. So ordered. The fight promoters were much relieved when they read the ultimatum of Governor McDonald, in which he declared that public gambling would have to be limited to that, in the absence of specific laws which might permit him to stop the fight, he can only enforce the laws that do exist regarding gambling. Billy McClain, the noted manager of San Diego in his series of lights at the St. John's Winney, Australia, last fall, is on his way to the ringside. Treasurer Mark Lewis had a record-breaking day: the pasteboards last Wednesday, and an announcement of receipts positively will exceed $56,000. One order placed was for 1,100 grandstand seats, by Gilbert Buford, of the Navy brine at least that number of Colorado Negroes down for the battle. Flynn, it is understood, will fight cool and cautiously. The rushing practices and cautiously. The rushing practices which brought him to grief in the which brought him to grief in the open go with Johnson will not be employed. The fight vicinity is now as a tent city.

The act features Bille Watts as Booker ., and “pelieve me” the gent measures up to the part excellently. His “Wonderful Land Of Ease” is a “show stopper.” Barl Bur- fon does nicely with his song, as does Mamie Walker and Chas, Burton in their song number, “I'd Love to Live in Love- land With a Girl Like You.” Helen Bumbray screams ‘em with “All Night Long,” and retaing her membership. in the Got "Em Club."

Miss Sinclair White, Violinist Grad- uate, Winner of the Diamond Medal—Plays in the Concert. . There is a place in the ethereal mild- ness of life where true. happiness abounds; ivs a ‘place higher than the earth in an atmosphere nearest to heaven, where in an’ imaginary viston you ean hear the songs of angels sing- ing with the musie of thelr golden harps. Such a place was the great Chicago AU- Gitorium on the evening. of Tuesday, Sune 18, 1912, when Miss Sinclair White, the colored girl violinist, made her grad- uation bow as first prize winner of the diamond medal in the largest_and most pretentious. concert ever undertaken in Which amateur artists, equal to. profes- Slonais: appear. “Atiss Sinclair, who 1s a girl of sixteen, was. third on the pro- gram, which consisted of nine numbers, &nd which, for her sake, and honor as a race achievement, T will briefly review. ‘The orchestra was under the direction of Karl Reckzeh, @ very excellent con- Guctor. ‘The first number was a piano solo in G Minor (two movements). exe- ented by William B. Coburn, whose ar- Ustic touch was not excelled by any others on the program. Miss Adelheld Wolterding rendered a solo from Wag- her's “Tannehauser.” Although @ little Umia and weak, her voice gave the as- surance of operatic. promise. Miss Sin- Clair White was next, and her reception, encores and Howers, equalled, if not, sur- passed those of any of the white artists on the bill, ‘Miss White again. played Hang Sitts Concerto in A Minor Opus 68 Gn two movements), and my judxment of her ‘work didnot’ vary ‘from what J haa discovered at Oakland Music Hall— that she lives in a land of genius and will dwell in an element of. greatness. Her execution. was again faulty and forced the orchestra a trifle, but her tone power and sentiment in the legato and symphonic passages was marvelous and held four thousand people breath- less. Bernice C. Dieters, piano solo, Which treated of cadenzas, was executed Rieely.. ‘The ffth number, a voeal solo by Mrs, Marion Taylor Hobbs, was sig- nineant, owing to the fact that she sang the. famous” “Ititoria,” from” Verdi's “Alda,” which Patti Brown used at Quinn andthe comparison. only proved that Patti Brown's voice is the superior, but her art hardly excelled, Mildred Brown played a “caprice”. on the violin, hardly Rs good as Miss White's work. “the sev- enth was a vocal solo by Mrs. Leonora Proetz Moore, a good dramatic soprano. Carl. Schulte was a most excellent Violinist, “and Florence D.. Bettray, at the plano with a. Schubert-Liszt Fan- lasiey was perhaps the greatest artist, individually, of the evening.

Wilson ‘went big in his original ministerial comedy, and Bil- ly Dewey danced and sang “Keep. on Smiling” in a most legitimate and fun- provoking way. ‘The act was just great Tn'every sense. Larkins and Pearl were equal favorites in thelr progressive. art and Miss Pearl looked a dream in a delt- cate blue lavish gown. When Larkins sang "I Aint A-Going to Tell How I Got These,” he took the house by storm. ‘The Imperial ‘Trio made good and was Well liked.

She will come through with flying colors. Hear Azalia by all means—the best. The Gentry Bros.' Shows held the boards in Indianapolis last week. One feels kind-a like "Alice in Wonderland" when viewing the parade. Everything is with little wheels drawn by little horses, and on many of which are seated little dogs that looked the population of a illiterate village, however, the tions, elephants, camels, etc. The show is long on dogs, the feature. The monkey tribe is also notable. The monkey, the piece de resistance, is the finale, as usual, with its retinue of small boys. The New Lyric Theater, Newport News, Va., is still keeping the S. R. O. sign out nightly. The bill of this week is a sure fire fire from start to finish. It opens with Miss India Allen, that clever singing and dancing, and then with Morris, the minstrel juggler, who made his initial appearance in Newport News and proceeded to make quite a hit with his original comedy juggling act. Next up is Mr. Perkins, who is a clever singer and dancer and fast becoming a second George Walker as a straight man. (Nuff sed.) Last, but not least, comes that known sensation, Houze and Houze, stuffed fun of fun and fun, and the golden smile that won't come off, and says all good performers coming this way write him, as there might be something doing for you. As the director of the ducer, and the entire bunch sends regards to all the profession and The Freeman. NOTES FROM THE 101 RANCH REAL WILD WEST We are just on the eve of closing at old Portland, Ore. and can truthfully say that the four days stand here has been the opposition the annual Rose Festival, in which there was the flower parade, the naval parade and fire works and are surrounded by place miles from the circus grounds, yet we can busy all the time, from 1 a. m. to 11 p. m. All are well and doing nicely, and we are to all friends in and out of the session. Billy Nash is still hitting them hard with his funny stuff on the extreme end. Days Jackson, our second end man, is killing them with his rendition of "Mammy's Shuffling Dance" in the bass clef. James Holmes is getting them crazy with his dance and "That Crazy Rag". Well, Little Washington is the envy of the whole company with his gold glove, which he plays with entire satisfaction to both manager and audience. The Old Men's Club consists of H. L. Rawley, Sam Ford, ages as mentioned scaling from H. L. Rawley, president on down, and there are four who are eligible, but we hesitate at taking them in "for We lost one act in the kid top here, but got another the same day, so the old wheel never missed a turn. The manager, I assure you. As I write this, I am informed that the manager's amiable wife, Mrs. Conners, is indisposed, but we all sincerely hope that before this reaches you she will be well again and cheering for kindly smile and words of hope to all. A very sad affair must be mentioned here of the sad death of the brother of her husband, and he had been looking forward to happy meeting with his brother. And imagine his grief and surprise to find that his brother had said about a month before we got here. That's one of the results of not writing home. THE PEKIN THEATER The Cuban Stars Beat the Shamrocks. City Items. CINCINNATI, O. After several weeks of waiting, the manager of the Pekin succeeded in booking in an act that the patrons of the venue have to do. The number of good enquiries and trios, have been secured for the weekly attraction, still, their style of work did not draw attention. The manager has been a general decline of the regular attendance. The bill this week consists of Brown and Crosby, late of "My Friend From Dixie" company, plus a waltzer with plenty of singing, talking and dancing. The act is classy and goes with a whirl. Miss Shepard has chanced places in the auditorium, filling in at the matinees, while Miss Hocker takes a place on the program at the night performance. Both of the young ladies have a large following and the house will lose nothing by the change. Notes. Sloane Edwards, manager of Oblrens Georgia minstrels, paid a visit to the city last Sunday to look up his old trooper, am from Jamaica. He returned e-ware good season on the road. The company played Monday in Newport, Ky., and Tuesday in Covington. --- continually cheering him, either while batting or pitching. There is a strong agitation growing among the big fans of this city for a worst-case scenario, between the best colored club and the white club winning the pennant. Many of the white baseball enthusiasts claim that the very unfair to keep colored players like the Lance and Clyde Giants and the Cuban Stars, and a number of other good colored players, out of the big game. While the public is paying fabulous prices to see inferior players in the National and other leagues, why not give the colored player a chance? *** Mr. Joseph L. L. Jones, Henry M. Higgins, Wm. L. Anderson and Sam B. Hill will large crowd from this city to attend the national Republican convention at Chicago. HOME COMING OF BILLY M'CLAIN One of the Sport Heroes of the Australian Continent. Sam McVea's Manager Now on American Soil, After Having Circumnavigated the Globe—Gets a Warm Reception in California—A Resume. By Billy Lewis. "He's home again! He's home again!" — Pilgrim's Chorus, Tannhauser. And we do feel like exclaiming something joyously, in joyous tones, when the great expected happens. When Roosevelt burst in on Chicago the cohorts are all laughing, the audience is the mission, the hour are the forces or elements that combine to make up the psychological moment. It were a shame that such glory was so poorly spent. All home comings have that spontaneity of receptivity. The most important most of the home comings, rather than his mission. This has reference to private life—the home. The home coming of the lover, long absent, the husband, wife, daughter, or other wife, it the greater regard the individual, stripped of his regalia, of his insignia, having in mind the individual per se. I will see these with mortal eyes. I swear it to the immortal skies. Old Balboa shallst drink not me, will I see my lives across the sea. (Dear readers, the above is perfectly original; that is, I will not be found elsewhere by the Pacific in honor of the gentleman who thought he was the first one to see it.) --- Say what you please, Billy has made some noise in the world in his line. I have been his commentator while he traveled around the globe. I will in no wise forsake him. As long as he does conspicuous deeds, they shall be duly chronicled or gazetted. In his line, while apparently not so enviable, yet there are broken ambitions there too. The individual who refuses to further develop under the utmost sunson, and perforce must drop out of the game. Others yet meet other kinds of setbacks—they don't get any victories, and hence go to the discard or to the scrap heap, where they find that idea. He discards selves at the round-up of the great battle of life. Yet if you should have a winning streak it is in the affairs of men, it's presumed you follow up your lead. Jack Johnson stands perched upon a high pinnacle, but where are those that human ladder on the cellar of the coveted spotlight is something. To stand on the top rungs, where angston, Jeannine, Mr. McEan stand, on whom some of the people in the city but beneath these ye are the thousand struggling, stumbling, falling as they are in the various pursuits of life—in the "pit"; there is "wailing and grashing of teeth." Billy McClain belongs to the very few that stand upon the eminence of things. He had the distinguished pleasure of piloting it to victory in Australia and now feels the joy in the achievement of success with which he had so much to do in bringing about. Through all the hurrah and turmoll incident to the struggle for wealth and fame, his thoughts, nevertheless, have returned to home and mother, and he has been able to victories if none of your kind is among the witnesses. The speaker winning his first spurs, or maybe his second ones, or his third ones, thinks of his sweetheart, mother, father, sister or brother. He speaks to them. If he fails, he would see them first. If he wins, he would see them first. --- McClain's home is in that dear old Indianapolis which has sent out so many topnotch Negro boys, and still doing something, to the schools. The old days are gone forever, sure enough, and no jealousy. The schools are turning out more graduates, but they all appear machine made. The hand made boys are not being made, and their places are not being filled. Let us see, who is succeeding Fidler and Shelton, Tome Browne, Harry Brown, Frank Brown, Fred Pope, Billy McCarthy, Fred Thompson, Billy McCarthy, R. W. Thompson, leading newspaper correspondent; Bishop A. Walters, the Clayborn, Joseph Browles, Dr. H. W. Furmiss, R. W. Thompson, leading newspaper servant? If there are any, they have a very poor way of showing it. Oh, yes, the world will vet revolve, but on the great plain of芝加哥 we want some bright example for the sake of variety, if not for example against radial slough formation. *** In San Francisco McClain was met as it becomes one who has made such a challenge to the rest of the bunch of professionals, among whom were the Jalvans, Dave Barton, John Milton, Misses Grant, Myles, DeHerd and others. He was not without witnesses to his conspicuous work. A gala day set in for him, and which promises to end only once he is dead, he sureted that we of Indianapolis expect him and will assure him distinguished consideration. He's one of us, and while his work is not as impressive as his made good; and that is quite sufficient. THE FREEMAN, AN LLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. WHERE THE CALCIUM SHINES WHERE THE CALCIUM SHINES Frank Fowler Brown is resting at Indianapolis. Aida Overton Walker closes in Chicago this week, after a successful season, in which she visited the Pacific Coast. Miss Minnie Brown, the "Girl From the Golden West," is singing in the chair of St. Mark's M. E. church, in New York City. Sam Rhodes, who came here with Harper's "Tallabo" company, is making good at the Ford Dabney, putting over a clever monologue and singing act. The commencement exercises of the Washington Conservatory of Music are set for the Howard theater June 15, prepared for a made for the event. Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall is president of the institution. --- Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis" "Book of Recitations," including Instruction in the book, is moved into the public schools of Bermuda and other islands of the West Indies. A large order for copies has been given to Pittsburgh, which is publishing the volume. . . . Theodore L. Pankey is manager of the Clef Club Quintet, an organization which will entertain at the hotels on the Atlantic Coast. He is also the manager. The other members of the combiner are: H. W. Dixon, Andrew Richards, Mosses Allerson and Alle Ross. T. Spender Finley, a comedian of merit, is filling engagements in Norfolk, Newport News and Richmond, Va. He speaks well of the Dixie theater at the Virginia capitals, he says is managed in first-class style and is a good place for colored performers. --- Washington looms up as a theatrical center, rivaling New York and Chicago in the national theater affection of other artists. It has nine colored theater doing a paying business. They are the Howard, Ford Dabney's, Hiawatha, S. H. Dudley's Chelsea, Foraker, Fairland, Star *** Young's Casino has been added to the big amusement parks of New York City. The property is to be owned by Negroes in the metropolis. L. Young is the proprietor. It is located at 134th street and Park avenue, in the heart of the new trend of the Harlem district. --- Miss Maybelle Brown, for several seasons a prominent member of S. Tutt Whitney's Southern Smart Set. It is to be married to the businessman he is stantial business man of Sheliybe, Ind. In the retirement of Miss Brown from the stage, the profession loses one of its most important ornaments—an artist who gave promise to a brilliant future in the thespian world. . . . Mme. Anna Lee Slade, the well-known elocutionist and singer, is to present on the religious drama *Zion* baptist church the religious drama *Dark Night* light one act and two scenes. She will be supported by Louise LeBrandt, Augusta Brown, George Wallace, Lola LeBrandt and T. A. Heathman. J. LeBrandt is negotiating with theatrical promoters, with a view of carrying his company to Australia. Miss Evelyn Mason, known Washington artist, is to be his leading lady. Edward Tolliver has purchased from Bristol University theposer, he fell right to the ballad, "Dear Mexico," which he has been singing with such signal success in S. Tutt Whitney's "The Mayor of New Town." Mr. Tolliver will feature the song in his new vaudeville act. --- Lew W. Henry is actively engaged in writing a history of the Negro on the front pages of The New York days of Charles Callender's Georgia Minstrels down to the present time. It is denied that he worked m the first part in that show with the immortal Billy Ker *** The Washington Dramatic Club, of which Mrs. Anna J. Cooper is president, gave an artistic production of Shakespeare's beautiful play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream"; last Friday evening at the Hightower School; and Teachers' Benefit and Annuity Association. The cast was well-balanced and the special scenery by W. D. Nixon and S. D. Milton was admirably suited to the occasion. On Saturday evening the play was presented as a benefit of the Social Settlement, of which Dr. John R. Francis is the official head. . . . S. Tutt Whitney's "Mayer of New Town" played at the Howard last week, winding up its regular season. The attendance would have been better had the team been given out farther in advance. All of the old favorites, Mr. Whitney himself, J. Homer Tett, Nettie Taylor, "Babe Brown, Maybelle Brown, Edward Tolliver, Goldie Chappelle, Ethel Marshall and Hennie Scarpino," scored individual hits. The piece was admirably staged and no better singing company was ever heard here. --- S. Tutt Whitney is revising his popular musical comedy, "The Mayor of New Town," and will rehearse the piece here on the stage of the Howard theater this summer. He will work on notable changes in play and intrigue, and will bring strong climaxes, raising it to the dignity of the serious dramatic offering, in addition to its musical and comedy features. Mr. Whitney is one of the race's most skilled actors, and he is the core. Besides conceiving dramatic productions, he is a poet of no mean attainments, and a vocalist of national reputation. As a basso profundo, he has been a major part of Whitney, which is said to be responsible for the latter part of his name by which he has come to be legally known. Edward Tolliver, who won distinction during the past season as "Pedro, the Mexican," in S. Tutt Whitney's "Mayer of New York" is to go into vaudelle, the French school he attended. Their new act, now in preparation, is to be called "The Mexican and the Indian Maid," and some desirable dates have already been arranged for. Mr. Tolliver is both an excellent tenor shaker and a clever singer, and he is known for his bold relief and ranking with the stars of the Southern Smart Set in popular favor. Miss Chappelle, who is pretty and talented, is the best of the Whitney's long chorus, is typical Indian, and will need little or no "make-up" in her new part. They will "take big" wherever they are booked, is the prediction of the critics who have made note of their efforts throughout their stage career. S. H. Dudley confirms the report that he may retire from the comedy field after a decade of performing with dependent diamonds and radiant smile with his wife from the vicinity of the box office as a producing manager on a large scale. His experience as a partner in the Barton and Chase companies helped him in good stead as the controlling factor in playhouses in many of the principal cities of the country and a half dozen or so other cities that did not been South for several years, and it is an ent plan to make a long farewell tour of that section next season. He will probably use his latest biggest musical comedy to make a new play in reserve, the title of which is not yet disclosed. Mr. Dudley has faith in his chain of theaters project and believe that the true solution of the Negro's advancement in the world of drama and song. WHO WILL SUCCEED DR. THIRKIELD?

J dent? Where is the man who can keep up the rapid march of progress started by Dr. Thirkeld? And some of us, turning our attention to the large class of learned, cultured Negroes who possess great executive ability. There are many universities that feel that the Negro race in the United States has individuals among the living who can be placed in Howard University's presidential scales and not be found wanting. So, then, should be considered, and so, of them elected to be her chief executive. There are many individuals, even of the Negro race, who greatly doubt that a Negro can be found who can successfully preside over the destinies of so many people. Harvard University. But these individuals entertain most unreasonable doubts. They have closed their eyes on Negro progress. They have evidently forgotten that in this country the Negroes have successively been more men than women, wherever they have been given ghost of a chance, and this includes presiding over institutions of learning, both great and small. If the Tuskegee Institute had not been favored with a Booker T. Washington descent, I have no doubt that thousands of persons would have the unusual courage to say "no Negro can do it." If Wilberforce University and Livingstone College had never been presided over by a Negro, it would have been an education. The wisdom of the presumption the prejudiced is quite overbearing to those who allow them to be the only thinkers. But there are some of us who will not bow to their wisdom. There are those of us who feel that it is time to stop and to move on. We should more avenues should be open for them to rise. Give them one more. Give them the presidency of Howard University.

SAN FRANCISCO.—No “statement” has yet been made by Jack Johnson in which some reference is not made to the fermble mauling that awaits Jim Flynn at ‘Las Vegas on July 4. ‘One thing 18 certain, however. If Jack Je bent upon. intimidating Miynn, is, ef- forts will fall flat, for Flynn is ‘a fellow ‘whose courage is undaunted. Pity it is that his other fighting qualifications are not on a par with his grit. ‘For weal or woe, Jim will surely battle Uke a tiger when he goes against the champion. And even if he succeeds no better than he did when he faced the big colored man in San Francisco in Nover- ber, 1907, he will command the respect of the’ spectators, ‘Just now the sports of San Francisco are refreshing their memories in connec- tion ‘with the last eleven-round bout be- tween Johnson and Flinn at Coffroth's arena, | ‘They recall that Fiynn, tried. fight close from the first smash of, the gong, and that even when tossed back by the foree of Johnson's uppercuts he re- turned to the charge again and again. He fought right into Johnson's hands, in fact All the big Negro had to do was to set himself to-meet Flynn's rush, and the un- fortunate fireman kept hurling himself on the spears. Triends of Flynn outside the ropes— fool friends they surely were—kept_ urging the fireman to ieap at Johnson, and Flynn did_so unflinchingly. Flynn took a fearful whaling that day, and took it like a Spartan. He was bruised and battered, but full of fishting spirit clear to the finish. It is to wonder if that affair carried any lesson for Flynn, Will he go at the stalwart Negro in the same fashion and run the risk of impaling himself upon the same old hooks and uppercuts, or will he dance around and insist. upon Johnson making the pace. And in this connection it can truthfully be said that. Johnson's biggest successee—more particularly wher opposed to shorter men. than hiinselt— have been achieved by taunting the other man into doing the rushing. Flynn has said many times that he ts building upon the effects that a couple of years of fast living have had upon John- Son. Of course, it will require a hard busting fight. to tell’ whether Johnson's stamina has been depleted, but it must be said that the photographs of Johnsor taken since he began training do not carry any suggestion that the champion will Prove less of a strong man than he was fans wane ae fl a. \ ; | ae } , | a | ne .

Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn are to seitie the heavyweight ques tion at Las Vegas and Joe Rivers is to try to wrest the lightweight crown from Ad Wolgast at Los Angeles, both fight taking place July 4. In the Bast there is no great amount of interest in the Flynn-Johnson battle. Us- ually when a hevyweight championship battle is ag close at hand as this one, the doings of the training camps are worth a first ‘page display and the space-giving is measured by columns. ‘When the Flynn-Johnson right is given any space ‘at all it is consicered rarely worth a short spread on the sporting page If it should develop that Flynn has really improved 50 per cent. over. his old form, while Johnson has gone back 50 per cent. —and both these things would have to hap- pen to enable the Pueblo fireman to win— victory for Flynn would be received with suspicion.

T White will be compelled to cancel his personally conducted excursion to the Pacific Coast and return, owing to the fact that in making final arrangements the railroads were unable to supply him with his dining car. They offered him second class accommodations, but as he had particularly designated in all of his advertising that he would give absolutely first class accommodations throughout the entire trip, he would not consent. Mr. white is not discouraged by this, his first attempt, but will be on hand in 1915 durfng the Panama Exposition, and will carry it through. No one can appreciate how I dislike to do this, but I should rather cancel it than have people declare that I had made false statements. Sincerely yours.
