Scott Entertains Falls City Medical Association Cane Club Football Team Defeats Alpha Omega--The Normal Alumni Holds Round Table. (By Lee L. Brown, 1006 W. Chestnut.) Hardin Tolbert, newspaper correspondent of Frankfort, Ky., said in last week's issue that we had called to him this week to say his "day dreams."

The News, and we are correspondent of The News in Frankfort. We have published his items most every week. We were not able to pay him a regular salary, but gave him the papers and he assails the editor. We have thought it wise to dispense with the services of so dangerous a correspondent. The poor fellow is so ill that in such a deep student of yellow journalism that he cannot help from breaking out at stated intervals and attacks the first person he comes in contact with. He looks for him to attack Editor Knox next. He states a number of the papers he writes for that he is about to make a book for him to publish in farms and interview farmers. What a good thing, as we are of the opinion that farming is his calling rather than journalism, upon our readers to pray for the poor fellow. Cary B. Lewis Here. Mr. Cary B.

Alpha returned the ball forty yards by brilliant end runs and bucks by their full-back Bruce, to lose the Cane Club 5-4. A linebacker gave 9 yards; crossbuck by Allen 9 more and when Henry Taylor caught a forward pass and ran 35 yards for a touchdown. The crowd was wild, but Cane Club failed to kick The second quarter was a repletion of the first, except a display of luck in the second half, as the team passed to the ends, but Big Bruce caught the ball and ran 60 yards for Alpha's first touchdown and the big back kicked ball.

MAKES STRONG DENIAL MAKES STRONG DENIAL The First Baptist Church, of Muskogee, Okla., of which Rev. S. S. Jones is Pastor, is the Scene of Bitter Warfare Among Factions of the Church. Muskogue, Okla. Denial of articles in the Dallas Express account of the Indianapolis 'ceeman who reference S. J. Jones in the Baptist church of Muskogue, Okla., in which the reporter in his writing for the two papers charges Brother A. W. Marrath or his followers, who are members of the church fighting against S. J. Jones for the sole purpose of ousting the pastor in order that we might sell the church and thereby make some money, or that the charges are true and that the charges are true and that I am almost sure that they are untrue as far as Marshall knows, and Jones or any of his friends or followers that may have given knowing at the time that it was a falsehood when they made such statements to him. I don't blame the reporter for writing what they tell him but I do blame him. I know he has heard all about the cause that started the fight on Jones. S. J. Jones, or any of his followers, who made was not the whole cause of the fight started against Jones. The reporter of the papers knew the controversy has been going on all because of Mr. Jones' own statement and Jones's his followers know that it is untrue when they say that we are trying to oust him for the purpose of selling the church to make some money for a man, or any set of men, can sell the church property whether he be a party thereto or not, unless by a vote of a majority of the church they should be authorised to sell but the trustees of the church after they had been told to do by the church, and Jones knows full well that if they wanted to sell the church to make any money on the side, they would surely get him to help them lead the proposition, as he knows that they would not attempt to sell without a sale without dividing up with him, as they know he is a great money-getter. The only thing that I have heard about any sale of the church property was that he would lose it on the street that one Mr. Adams had spoken to one S. J. Jones and offered him a proposition to sell the church and would give thirty-five thousand dollars for the property across the street from the church but that it would be impossible for him to sell his property to any advantage while he was there. The next I heard of any sale was that Mr. J. Elliott me one evening that Jones was going around telling the people about an offer he had made out of the way so they could sell the church, "and he has just been here telling me about an offer, he has been telling me about an offer," I told Elliott. I thought he was only talking to him that way for the purpose of getting something from him that he might substantiate the claim that he had gotten around and made to the people, and make votes in his favor, as he knew well that there was going to be an effort made to discontinue him as a pastor. Jones admitted on one occasion that it was a false statement but that it was good humor for the papers would have given the true facts for the cause of the fight on Jones if they had been given to him. Now, the following is the cause for Jones's arrest: he was on duty as his pastor of the church: Jones had circulated public adultery concerning his family, and in circulating such rumors he was accused of the same. He reported that he caught his wife in an act of adultery and that he could have killed them both as a result of his hand, but he would not do so; and then it developed that Jones only heard some talk over a telephone between his wife and an unrelated act, and then after the fact was discovered, Jones undertook to contradict the statement that he first made and made a claim that he had been accused to were liars. It was then that a good younner and the members of the church along with the men that he had accused that he was unfit to act as a pastor. Jones told T. J. Elliott and Brothers Hayes, Escos, A. W. Marshall, M. J. Love that his wife was an adulteress and widowed. And then there was a committee of one hundred and fifty members of the church sent up a signed petition to the deacons of the church, requesting the pastor to resign and own good. This he refused to do, and this committee then requested the deacons to ask the pastor to resign, and church by the deacons: was voted down by a vote of one hundred and forty-four to one hundred and twenty-eight, and at lution offered asking the church in session to declare the pulpit vacant, and this recommendation was voted down by a vote of one hundred and forty-four. The deacons found out that the fight was still going on against him because all of his deacons were opposing him only four out of eighteen being for him; then he was not up to the New Testament idea as to the deacons. Then I see Jones getting scared and deciding that he must cut the deacons and then that all of the intelligent members of the PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY—SIX MONTHS, 85c; ONE YEAR, $1.50. board would not stand for him to pastor board would not stand for him to pastor all of the trustee are opposing Jones except one; then Jones decides cut them down to seven, as the Apostle Paul so stipulates, and Jones will careful in seeing to it that he kept such men off the board and left a majority in his favor, and kept two of his deacons on the board, as he knew they could do not not be allowed to attend a majority in his favor. The fight on Jones was not started by so-called leaders of the church, but was by all members of the church were willing to take a stand for the right thing. Campaign, Ill., spent Thanksgiving his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Sheppard Second avenue.....Miss Effie Good Miss Owens, both of Champaign,WI, Mr. Lewis Owens and Mr. Robert shall tendered the ladies quite a nice ception Friday evening.

Any man, especially a pastor of the church that will join a Sporting Gun Club and win the prize for shooting, is not fit to pastor any people. Jones will become a shot in the club. The above statements are all true facts and can be substantiated by such men as Messrs. Escle, Marshall, Ellott and Love and others too numerous to mention. Jones will become a shot in the club and Marshall and D. C. Cooksey to help him watch his wife, and any man that will attempt to have men help watch his wife will become a shot in the club. We hope this will satisfy the public that no members of the church are trying to oust Jones for any personal hatred or special gains themselves; we hope that no members of the public that at least half of the members of the First Baptist church are trying to make a stand for high morality that it may not be said by any member of the church does not take a stand for morality.

Oatneal an Examiner in the Pension Office—Mu-So-Lit Club Grows in Influen. e-Notes. By. R. W. Thompson. WASHINGTON. D. C.. Special. Notwithstanding the positive statement to the contrary in the editorial columns of a biblio casual local contemporary, Lawyer J. T. Oatneal, of Washington Court House, O., is an examiner in the United States with experience in the office is more than offset by his broad experience in legal matters, particularly with reference to the pension laws, and he is filling the bill to a nicety, working side by side with old employees, and having completed cases each day. This, the records plainly show. The motive behind the Bee's unwarranted and notoriously unjust attack upo na gentleman of Mr. Oatneal's standing as a lawyer and a useful friend is a newcomer at the capital, and as such is entitled to the courteous treatment decent Washingtonians invariably accord to the stranger who ventures within our premises. Mr. Oatneal has drawn to him many warm friends who might otherwise never have heard of his presence here. Notwithstanding the vicious attacks upon the Mu-So-Lit Club by the grouchy and dyspeptic "Sage of the Potomac," of the Washington Bee, that noteworthy institution continues to grow in influence, the faculty meetings are the rallying point for the best men in the capital, and visitors to the cit yurgard it as an especial mark of honor to be invited to spend an evening with the Mu-So-Lits when they happen to be in town on the second Tuesday night in the fall. The faculty meetings with Mu-So-Lit Club embraces one hundred of Washington's representative educators, lawyers, doctors, journalists, dentists, pharmacists, federal officials and business men of the race's greatest center of insectuation. The faculty members never in its history has its personnel been higher than at present. Its fat-head opponents are respectfully invited to "gnaw a file." News Notes The Democrats in the United States senate expect to "save their Bacon." We shall soon have congress on our hands. --- Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Charles C.urtis, L. C. Moore, N. B. Marshall, Charles L. Barnes and others of the local Jeffersonians of color, are pleased with the outlook. It is being quietly intimated that Prof. J. Gerald Tyler, now of St. Louis, may return to the musical department of the Washington schools. While here Mine. E. Azalia Hackley paid a high compliment to the Washington Conservatory of Music and stated that it was doing a marvelous work in aid of the development of the taste of the race for the standard music of the world. She urged the people here to rally and sustain the efforts of Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall to elevate the musical tone of the community. --- The local ministers are examining with great care the newly-revised edition of the Bible, published by the American Baptist Church, and are departing from the King James edition and the revision of some years ago. In the new Bible the names of Adam and Eve are eliminated and the "male and female" and "died and died" descriptions of the old Hebrew names. The word "hell" is omitted, the word "underworld" being used in its stead. It is doubtful if the new Bible will accept this revolutionary interpretation of the "Word." "Phil" Waters, of West Virginia, long considered a possibility for appointment as assistant register of the Treasury, is being passed by the governor, passing of the office to another. It is stated by the friends of Mr. Waters that he would not have accepted the place, as it would not have been to his advantage to be a governor, but he would have enjoyed the pleasure of having had an opportunity to have declined it. The tender of the place by the Republican leaders would have been recognized by the governor's recognition of his long and valuable services to the G. O. P. in the pivotal state of West Virginia. Nevertheless, "Phil" is the flag and joins heartily in congratulation to the lucky Mr. Strickland, of Arkansas. --- Dr. W. Bruce Evans, formerly principal of Armstrong manual training school, has been visiting his sister in Boston. He is said to be in receipt of a number of flat tickets to take chart at his school the State West. His son Joseph H. B. Evans, a recent graduate from a technical school in Pittsburgh, until recently a temporary employee of the ware, may be associated with him in any work Dr. Evans may undertake elsewhere. . . . Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the famous elocutionist, has returned from a seven-months' stay in Jamaica. She was accompanied by Mme. Nonie Bailey Hardy, a talented contralto, who returned with her. --- Mme. Anita Patti Brown, the race's foremost coloraturoprana, sang to a packed house Monday afternoon at Howard University. She was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, 908 S street, Northwest. Particulars in our next. --- Excellent reports are coming from the girl graduates of the Washington Normal school, who have taken places in the schools of the various states this year. Dr. Lucy B. Moten, to whom they owe much of their success, received here, expresses herself as delighted with the success "her girls" are achieving wherever they have cast their lot. --- Arrangements are being made by President S. M. Dudley, of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, and President Ansonomopoulos, of the Press Association, or "An Evening With the Negro Press," to be held at an early date, under the auspices of the Bethel Literary Society. This splendid organization is doing "the work of its life," with the help of its members and its sessions are always largely attended by our appreciative fellow-citizens. --- Dr. John R. Francis is the dental inspector for the colored schools. It is a source of gratification on the part of the parents and teachers that since he took the job, he has been able to quantify the general health of the students have shown perceptible improvement. Dr. Francis is an able and conscientious young man and his labors have amply vindicated the wisdom of those who recommended him. He has supplied his wife is the son of Dr. John R. Francis, formerly surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's hospital, and one of Washington's oldest and foremost practitioners. Since Dr. J. E. Moorland and other Christian workers have put up a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building for colored young men in Washington, structures of similar cost are being built well on the way in Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Louisville. Let the good work go on. Mrs. Hattie E. Hathaway, wife of Mr. Isaac Hathaway, the sculptor, died last Saturday of Bright's disease. Freed from the hospital, sad event was hastened by the birth of a son, who survives the mother. A Caesarean operation was performed on him on Tuesday afternoon at the family residence, 1011 T street, and was attended by a large number of sorrowing friends. Rev. D. F. Kearns, a Rev. of the able character and her loss will be keenly THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER TAL felt in the circles in which she moved.

Murray, Washington correspondent of the Boston Guardian, a literary man of wide experience and marked ability, read a scholarly paper Tuesday at the Belahi Library Historical Association on "The Ethiopians as Pioneers in Civilization. Mr. S. M. Dudley presided. Memorial services were held Tuesday evening at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church in honor of Prof. George Francis Train Cook, the first superintendent of the colored schools of the District of Columbia. The principal address was delivered by Prof. Winfield Scott Montgomery, president of the Poor's College Fifth Division, and he was followed by Mr. Henry Johnson, a former member of the Board of Education, serving during a portion of the period of Superintendent Cook's incumbency. Mr. M. Grant offered appropriate resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by Poor's College Fifth Division, and present head of the colored schools, presided and eulogized the life and character of the late educator, under whose guidance he received much of his training which opened the way to his successful career. Judge M. W. Gibbs is expected from Little Rock, soon. Many Republicans are seeking positions under the government, despite the fact that the Democrats won the election. If appointed now, it is said to be their hope that they may be overlooked quite a while the fellows who are likely to seek their scalps. --- Word comes that Edward Turner, of Charleston, W. Va., who graduated a short time ago from the pharmaceutical department of Howard University, led a team in a recent examination to test his fitness to practice in the state of West Virginia. Since his graduation he has been employed by the Elk pharmacy, a white concern in his home town. It is by such feats that the race problem is to be properly solved. “Open air schools” are to be established for colored children, the fire experiment to be made in a few days at the Stevens school on Twenty-first street. . . . Mr. Joseph E. Johnson, an expert stenographer, formerly with Speaker Cannon at the capital, has returned from New York City, where he carried off honors as secretary to the colored department in connection with the committee. Mr. Johnson is to be one of the leaders in the work of reorganizing the Negro wing of the Republican party. --- Miss Nannie E. Burroughs, president and founder of the National Training School, around which a new center of social uplifters have congregated at Linden University, have already engaged engagements in North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania and other states, drawing enthusiastic crowds everywhere. Plans for enlargement of the school's capacity are under way, and next season will see more ample accommodations for students. The girls who are anxious to receive the training that Miss Burroughs can give in the direction of self-support and practical home-making. The Women's Convention of the National Baptist Convention gave the women of this helpful institution. The Negro woman is doing her full duty toward the uplift of the race. --- The National Negro Academy and the Jeanes Fund Board will meet here in De- --- Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, well-known in Washington as an orator of quality and an allround newspaper man, speaks at Mound Bayou, Monday, following Dr. Booker T. Washington. The occasion is the dedication of the $100,000 cottonseed oil mill, promoted by a company of Negro capitalists, headed by the irrepressible Charles Banks. Dr. Washington is to press the button that starts the machinery of the oil mill for the first time. Brer J. C. Gilmer, the affable editor of the Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate, will have his little joke, even at the expense of the festive "leaders" of the nation's capital. Says he in the current issue of the Advocate (which, by the way, is a Bull Moose organ) and is not afraid to confess it): "Let him who has criticised the hospitality of the Washington officeholding class give the nation's capital a wide berth now, for if tea and crackers or a beer and pretzels were the limit when the 'Black Cabinet' could look forward to years of undisturbed possession of the flesh-pots, what will the fare be now that they are numbered." Mr. Gilmer thinks a glass of water and a toothpick will be about the menu offered. --- Prof. J. P. Strickland, the newly-appointed assistant register of the Treasury, is to be tendered a testimonial banquet next week by the Arkansas Club, of this covers will be held for forty. The affair is to be held at the Y. M. C. A. building. --- Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds, is back again from a business trip to New York. He is the adjacent mansion for his family at the corner of Fifteenth and S streets, Northwest. --- "Who will be the grand marshal of the colored division of the inaugural parade March 4th?" is another great question that Mr. Williston asked. E. D. Williston was "it" four years ago, when President Taft came in, and Register J. W. Lyons was the leader of the colored troops in the pageant which accompanied his predecessor up "The Avenue." . . . Hon. Charles D. Hiles, who served faithfully as chairman of the Republican national committee through the recent campaign, back on the job as secretary to President Obama, to preside over Hon. Carmi A. Thompson, who took Mr. Hilles' place during the latter's absence, is to assume in a few days the duties of vice president of Treasurer of the United States. --- Dr. A. M. Curtis, one of the race's foremost surgeons and former surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's hospital, is winning new laurels as an instructor on timely medical training his course of lectures on. First did he teach in progress twice a week at the Y. M. C. A. The commodious gymnasium and its fine athletic appointments are utilized by Dr. Curtis for practical demonstrations of the victims of accidents or sudden illness, and a large number of bright young men have registered in the classes for the systematic instruction that is being promoted. Medical experts and officers fro m the Central Y. M. C. A., who evince a deep interest in the important work that Dr. Curtis is doing. At the conclusion of the first term, an examination by the medical institute of matriculants and a diploma is to be issued in due form to those who graduate. Experience in administering first aid to the injured is the great need of modern surgeons. In taking part in athletics, to persons who travel by land or sea, and to the ordinary citizen who goes in and out among us on the city streets. In forming these classes the surgeon is required to be the Y. M. C. A.'s scope of usefulness to the colored youth of the nation's capital. EVERY LADY READ THIS.

READ THE WORDS OF OTHERS 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.

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 through the power and influence of two Loadstones.

CURRENT NEWS OF CHICAGO Hon. George W. Ellis, K. C., F. R. G. S., with a Place in "Who's Who in America" and "Successful Americans," and a Member of Many Learned Societies, Contributes to a London Journal an Article on "Liberia in the Political Psychology of West Africa." (By Cary B. Lewis.) Mr. George W. Ellis is a prominent lawyer of Chicago with a suite of elegantly furnished rooms at 3000 South State street, and is doing a constantly increase in the state and federal courts of Illinois. **Situation of Liberia in West Africa.** In the October number of the Journal of the African Society, 1912, just out, appears a very interesting and illuminating contribution by Mr. Ellis upon "Liberia in Africa." Opening with a graphic description of the main physical aspects of the great African continent, the writer first takes up and sets forth the European political machinery by means of which Europe contends with the African people, tells about the cruelty of the early European colonial government toward the native races, in which the Africans were deprived of their lands and subjected to the brutal exploitation of their laborers, little prepared for their new and grave responsibilities. He mentions the names of that growing body of African students and reformers, with their torrents of violence, who were forced to the European reading and official world, which finally secured a hearing for Africa and ultimately led to many needed reforms in colonial administration in West Africa in particular and in general throughout Africa. Nature of the Article. This article is eighteen pages long and written in the best literary form. It displays wide reading, an abundance of facts, and a striking familiarity with African colonialism by the mechanism of West African colonial government, early colonial attitude toward native races, refine minor West African colonial government, the writer in his native country, the development of resources to neglect of native races, West African colonial attitude toward Americans, purpose and nature of the Iberian Democracy, Liberian nationalism, the development of Liberian political idea, European attitude towards Liberia, and the West African outlook. Interpersed with quotations the value of the article is enhanced by the list of authorities at the bottom of each page, the information given in each section, and writer of very careful training and liberal culture. Having resided in West Africa for a number of years since 1902, much information given is based on observations and experience, which strengthens the claim that he is an able student of African affairs and justly deserves his recognition as an authority on African problems and conditions. For one reason, he appreciates the importance of this contribution he must read it for himself. The Journal which published it was so pleased with it that they also printed a number of* reprints in number form by the reviewer has carefully perused. Mr. Ellis as a Contributor Mr. Ellis as a Contributor. This is not the only article which Mr. Ellis is contributed to, winning his place among the contributors. He contributed an article on "Education in Libera" to the Bureau of Education at Washington, D. C., which is contained in the Bureau's report for 1907; on justice in the West African jungle he contributed an article on "The African Jungle," 1909, and another in the April 25th issue, 1911, on the "Negro in the Chicago Primary"; in May 1911, he contributed another to The American Political Science Review on the Political Institutions in Liberia; in October 1912, on the Factors of Race Deevelopment at Clark University, Worcester, Mass.; is another on "Dynamic Factors in the Liberian Situation"; in October of the same magazine is another on "Islam as a Factor in West African Culture"; in July 1912, issue is one on "Political Intimidation of the International Loan in Liberia."

At this congress experts are invited to give lectures upon the different phases of the work. Schools have been organized to discuss the great centers of the different continents. In consider the problems of the Negro in America and Africa. Among the books which the Negroes are called upon to study are: "The Pwaw Path," by Helm; "Present in Negroism," by Weatherford; "The Negro and the Native Merriam; "The Future of the American Negro," by Washington; "Christian Reconstruction in the South," by Douglass; "From Slavery," by Washington; "Pollock," by Washington; "The Negro and the Native Merriam; "The Future of the American Negro," by Washington; "Christian Reconstruction in the South," by Douglass; "From Slavery," by Washington; "Pollock," by Washington; "The Negro and the Native Merriam; "The Negro and the Needs," by Patterson; "The Negro, The Southerners' Problem," by Page; "Race Adjustment," by Miller; "The Present South," by Murphy; "The Negro in America," by Johnston; "The Negro in America," by Johnston; and "The American Negro," by Fisher. Mr. Ellis has been invited to deliver a paper on Africa and the Problems of Native Americans, and he is also other prominent Negroes from other parts of the country have special papers at this conference. The Freeman correspondent will take special attention in "covering" this matter from now on. Judge Pinckney Speaks "We are not giving the colored race a square deal. The North freed the Negro on the general principle of the injustice of the white people at the hands of the colored man. The southern whites know much better how to treat the Negroes than do the Northerners." This was the statement made by Judge Minkney on Saturday at lunch in the courthouse at which the men and women closely associated with the problem of the care of the Negro dependent children. The meeting was called by the county board of visitors. The prison was to plan ways and means for the juveniles and opportunities of the juvenile Negro. To Select Committee: Among those present were Julus N. Rosenwald and Dr. Emil G. Hirsch. The chairman was authorized to appoint a committee of nine members to make inquiries about the acquaint Negro children and report at a meeting to be called in the next few weeks. We have never done the right thing by the Negro children," said Judge Pinckney. "It is up to the Northern people to give the subject of the colored race more attention. We have no good place to send delinquent children. We send them to institutions where one of the inmates but he finds it is no good for them. Colored children should be with colored children. The Negro living among whites hears all about equality before the law but he finds it is no good for them. He becomes discouraged and goes down. During all the time I was in the Criminal Court the juries never gave the colored man an even break. I had 60 set aside one verdict of murder. He had been a white man he would have been liberated. The colored man was granted a new trial and finally released from a years work at the penitentiary and was making on a riaload and is making good." Judge Pinckney is correct in his judgment when he says that they are not giving a square deal to the Negro and the delinquent children, but when he suggests that the Negro is not giving a basis of color, he is making a bad matter worse, as distinctions based on color and race is un-American, contrary to the letter and spirit of the American Constitution and institutions and inimical to the welfare and progress of the American people, in political officials and in political officials and a development and education of public sentiment in our , Straight BRICE & Manufacture Afro-America 1107 N.

White Man Convicted for Crime on Colored Girl Little Mator McFerins, a fifteen-year-old girl, confined in the Cook county hospital has been delivered of a child as a result of a rape committed upon her by Frank Chaplin, a man who was also in that institution. As a result, he is interested taken by colored citizens, Judge Pinchin, and others interested in the case, Chaplin was arrested on the charge of bastardy imprisoned in the county jail. Attorney R. B. Moore, with offices with George W. Ellis, 3000 State Street, was retained to prosecute the case. In the cause came on for hearing in the Court of Domestic Relations on November 6, when an effort to postpone the case by Alexander. Attorney Westbrooks forced the defendant to secure the conviction of Chaplin. The evidence disclosed in it that Chaplin is not only guilty of bastardy, but is also guilty of rape and it is now up to the publication of this county to see that a warrant is issued for charging Chaplin with this crime and to have him justice for the same. Great credit is due Lawyer Westbrooks for his efforts in this case and he should be retained to continue thesecution, until the outrage on little Mator McFerins was satisfied under the terms of the lawsuit.

Guess we'll have to brevet International Secretary Moreland for conspicuous service on the field. In Baltimore a few days ago he generalized the forces that raised $30,000 in about ten days for Y. M. C. A. purposes. This was among the colored people. The white Y. M. C. A. guarantees $50,000 and Julius Rosenwald, the Jewish philanthropist of Chicago, does the rest. The building will cost not less than $100,000. Generalissimo Moreland will be about right for the hustling international secretary. Five hundred prosperous Negro farmers and homemakers from Virginia and neighboring states attended the annual Hampton Institute Negro Farmers' Conference, which was held on November 20 and 21 at Hampton, Va. According to those of authority the conference was most inspiring to white and colored people who are interested in rural life improvement. It showed beyond any question that the trend of education in Virginia and the South is to make the whole life of the community a part of the school's work and responsibility. John Mitchell's bank, in Richmond, Va., came out all right. A little run of $5,000 was made by some who "suspected" something was wrong. A seemingly unlimited supply of wherewith heaved in sight, having a quieting effect on the skeptical. Besides this, the white men's banks of Richmond got busy and sent truckloads of panacea to John's relief. The offer of assistance was appreciated, but it was not needed. That's the way to do it. Give 'em dollar for dollar, and then leave some in the strong box. It was a famous victory. Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed 15,000 people at Mound Bayon, Miss., November 25, who had gathered to see set in motion a $100,000 oil mill plant. On the platform was the venerable Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of the all-Negro town. The well-known Charles Banks introduced Mr. Montgomery, who spoke in simple and impressive language of his efforts to have his town make a name for itself. Other distinguished men were present from various parts of the Union. Bands played the national and other airs. At the appointed moment life was spoken into the great concern. Some little lynching right along here, and which is a necessity by no means. Says a report from Shreveport, La.: Three Negroes, Wood Burke, Jim Heard and Silas Jimmerson, who attacked and seriously wounded Deputy Sheriff Edwards, of Bossier parish, several weeks ago, were taken from three deputies, who were removing them from the Caddo parish jail to eBnton, last night, and lynched at Vanceville, a short distance from Benton. The deputies and their charges, traveling in buggies, were met at the edge of a swamp by a mob, the deputies overpowered and the Negroes taken into the swamped and hanged. Booker T. Washington pulled the valve and the whistle blew, announcing the "launching" of the $100,000 oil mill at Mound Bayou, Miss, the all-Negro town. This was a few days ago. The long expected is now reality. The beginning of the enterprise marks an epoch in the greater doings of Negroes. It is possible that something unforeseen may happen which will destroy the hopes of those interested in the great enterprise, but at this time the future seems bright for it. It will stand in the little community, distributing its blessings as the sun's rays. It is up to these to live up to the opportunity, seeing that its products are not less than those of similar concerns. Integrity and industry will do the rest. Good for little Mound Bayou! Anent the Johnson-Cameron case some one learned in the law has made it clear why the cash bond of $30,000 was refused. He said that the gov- ernment was interested in the prosecution of individuals, that is, it is interested most in having the individuals in custody when apprehended, giving them the least opportunity of escape. The inference is that the cash bond is easier defaulted, giving less trouble. So much will not be involved as would result from a real estate entanglement. He says that the government wants the prisoner and not the money. Of course, when mixed up with the courts it is necessary for the individual to undego some inconvenience, perhaps going to jail sometimes when he should be walking around. The government is said to be of its sure charge before making it, and thus avoids the hardship of imprisonment without cause. However, even the government is finite; it can make a mistake, consequently its stickler for a bond based on property can work a hardship. If Jack Johnson is right in his contitions, it has already done so. The government wants the prisoner; the prisoner wants his liberty when due him. We are not trying to prove the court wrong in its method of holding to the prisoner. We are showing that there is also another side. The liberty of one man when wrongfully retained is the same as that of a thousand men. That he should be held as in the case of Jack Johnson because of the difference between cash and real estate is a legal figment which does not appeal to all men alike. If the matter were submitted to a referendum vote the chances are that the cash would win if it were a matter of choice. But we are fairly certain that the vote would not sustain a difference in the kind of bonds. As we view it here is no case case for expert legal knowledge further than to know what is the law on the point. That a thing is law does not make it the best thing. It is merely law because it has done the processes necessary to adorn the statute books. Laws are continually being annulled, revoked, recalled, changed in proof of the fallibility of men. RECENT HAPPENINGS. Jack Johnson, the Negro heavyweight, finally married the white girl who caused his arrest. Johnson had a little trouble which he overcame in securing his license. Burrel Oates, a Negro convicted for murder, after seven trials, was hung at Waxahachie, Tex. In the course of his trials it was found necessary to make two changes in the statutes of the state. James Kelly, a colored veteran of the Marion, Ind., Soldiers' Home, killed Thomas Harvey, a fellow inmate. Kelly says the act was in self defense. A grand jury will investigate the charge. To escape death by the law, Ray Dixon, Negro, hanged himself in his cell at Enid, Okla. Negroes threatened to lynch him of released. He was charged with killing another Negro. HANGED AT LAST-NEGRO CONV VICTED SEVEN TIMES. A most remarkable case of a case in court long drawn out is reported from Waxahachie, Tex. Burrell Oates, Negro, was accused of murdering Sol Aronoff, of Dallas, eight years ago. Without money or influential friends Oates succeeded in getting seven trials, and owing to developments two changes were made in the statutes of Texas. "Oates' fight for life was made all the more remarkable by the fact that each of the seven trial juries found him guilty of murder, and six of them condemned him to death. The other jury, being unable to agree over the penalty, caused a mistrial, although declaring the Negro's guilt. Technicalities and at times more serious errors have been used repeatedly to secure new trials for Oates. The sixth trial was declared void because the jury in writing its verdict inadvertently omitted the words "in first degree" in finding Oates guilty." Recently we had occasion to say that, taking it all and all, that the Negroes have but little cause to complain of the oppression of the courts. We are not so verdant as to think that it always goes fair with them, but as things go, the race question and so forth, they come up pretty nicely in such matters. Here is a case of a Negro being tried seven times right in the "lion's den" of prejudice. He had no friends to boost him to liberty; ignorant, we will presume, yet he reminds one of Joshua who had the sun stand still while he fought his battles. He cracked the machinery of Texas jurisprudence, sending it to the legislature for repairs. An Irishman, being informed that Frederick Douglass was only "half Negee, when listening to the old man's gift of oratory, excalimed, "And faith, if he be only half a Naggar, what would a whole Naggur do?" Oates was not half fortified, yet the jurisprudence of the state crumbling like an egg shell in the hands of a cook. The point, however, is to show that Negroes are not without respect at the bar. LINCOLN INSTITUTE AT KENTUCKY. James Bond, trustee and financial agent of Lincoln Institute of Kentucky, was in this city last Monday in the interest of his institution, the doors of which were opened last October. This institution is the outcome of the struggle at Berea, where the Negro students were excluded. The turn in the affairs, however, has been for the best. A great school has been the result, costing already something like a half million of dollars. With Mr. Bond, we hold that that school spirit which, more or less, feels squelched when attending schools, where is exhibited that dominant spirit shown so often by white students, will manifest itself, and for the good of the institution and the pupil. Mr. Bond is a graduate of Berea; he received his theological degree at Willborce. He has held the chair of theology at Fisk University. He has offers now along theological lines, but THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER he prefers the work in which he was engaged because he feels especially prepared for it. He thinks that he will return to his chosen work some day—when Lincoln is out of its swaddling cloths. Mr. Bond has been very successful as trustee and financial agent for his institution. Kentucky has responded liberally, both the white and colored people. Andrew Carnegie has given $200,000. The money has been well spent, and is being well spent. The five hundred acres are dotted here and there with well-built, well-appointed buildings, and more are to follow, of course. In fact, Lincoln is to be a complete community within itself. Already it has its own plants—for water, heat, electricity and so forth. Lincoln is a rose in the blowing; it will not blush unseen. GOVERNOR BLEASE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Governor Blease, of South Carolina, in an address to the fifth annual Governors' Conference, at Richmond, Va., last Tuesday, said, among other things, that the lynchers of Negro assailants of white women would go unpunished. "I have said all over the State of South Carolina, and I say it again, now," he declared, "that I will never order out the militia to shoot down its neighbors and protect a brute who commits the nameless crime against a white woman. "Therefore, in South Carolina, let it be understood that when a Negro assails a white woman all that is needed is that they get the right man, and they who get him will neither need nor receive a trial." We can easily understand righteous indignation aroused by the awful crime of rape. We can understand the white man's attitude, influenced, as it is, by his views of the races. We understand the cause of the intense feeling of Southern white men, who insist on seeing the Negroes so very different to themselves. But with all that, the laws are yet with us; their enforcement in such cases is swift and certain. This being true, it appears to us that lawlessness, even of that kind, will only serve to hold our country up to scorn and ridicule of its boasted protection, and in the meanwhile tend to subvert the whole judicial fabric. Mr. Blease is a Governor. He knows what he is doing when making such radical statements; and while we see the crime quite as he sees it, in all its hideousness, yet we think he could have kept back his prejudicial indictment and verdict, since he is who he is. A governor, or what not, sounds his own note of "wanting" when he flies in the face of those principles which make his very office a necessity. If the thing of recall should become a feature of American jurisprudence, it will be due to such avowed hostility to the written laws as has been exhibited by Governor Blease. True enough, he did some excellent things, and which deserve mention and praise. He said: "Just the other day, Jim Roberts, a Negro from Charleston, stopped me as I was walking through, and respectfully asked permission to speak to me. He told me that he had been kept in jail for twenty-two years for stealing a $27 watch. "I said: 'If you are telling me the truth, you will eat your Christmas dinner with your folks at home.' He said: 'Governor, I have no folks.' Then, I replied, 'you will eat it away from here.' And he will. Pround of His Record. "Another Negro had served eleven years and seven months for stealing $9. A judge wrote to me that he had sentenced to death a man when he did not believe the man had been convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. Another wrote me that he had sentenced to death a man whom he did not believe should be put to death. He did not believe it at the time, nor does he believe it now. "These are the errors of injustice I am trying to right with my power to pardon. I am proud of my record." We would like to say that this heart of the man makes good as compensation for his other views. But we can think of no condition that outruns the possible penalty by the law. EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.

Mr. Thomas has at times resorted to very questionable methods in satisfying his peculiar whims, utterly disregarding contracts and common courtesy. Considerable inquiry has been made in connection with this affair, and it is known that the management of the Howard did not countenance such measures by the management in its endeavor to public attendance. Such an expression was still unheard, and embarrassing to the theatrical profession. If Mr. Thomas finds that it becomes necessary to cancel an act, it would seemingly be more appropriate for him to do so from his office rather than the office. The peculiar phase of this affair, that the act in part made good; the objectable feature could have been elimination, which met the approval of the audience; was a deplorable incident which could have been avoided by more tactful conduct in the future; the feelings of actors will be considered to the extent o f informing them in the office of any disagreement, or in the office of any uncontrolled act. We, the undersigned, take of informing the public that a grevious injustice was perpetrated, and some steps taken to make impossible the repetition of such a humiliating fusco to stagecraft.

Dudley and the famous "Smart Set" Company, which he heads again this season, is evident, if a large advance sale is any criterion. When the mere announcement was a few weeks away, a comedian and his band of fun-makers were coming to town to appear in Mr. Dudley's latest mirtful effusion, Doctor Beans from Bremen, the Walnut Street comedy Louisville, Ky. mencing Sunday matine, December 8, a steady stream of requests for tickets began pouring in. This was not the least surprising, considering the popularity of the show, and his role as a comedian, "Doctor Beans from Boston" is a musical comedy in three acts, vastly different from the usual run of similar offerings. It is a real production uninterrupted by his comedic features and novelties not found in shows. Among those in the cast, besides Mr. Dudley, are Henry Troy, James Burles, Roley Ibson, Arthur Talbot, Bessie Payne, Lottie Grady and Alberta Ormea.

THE NEW CROWN GARDEN And still they come—another good show. The Crown seems to always have something new and novel to offer. The manager of this little playhouse, who is no other than the "Wizard" of the show business in Wesley, has never yet got to give the public a chance to matter what happened. Each week we see something new in colored vaudeville. Miss Alberta Whitman and Three Sunbeams. Miss Whitman offers an act that is in a class all by itself. For wardrobe there is none better. For appearance they surpass all others. For good singing, tuneful music and artistic dancing they are it. This act has four persons in it, and Whitman, the famous singing, dancing and character comedienne as well as a THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER composer of popular music, has put together an act that pleases all classes of people. My prediction is the moment and will be taken off the colored time altogether. The youthful members of the act are the best I have even seen. The little girl and dances artistically. The two little boys and hand out a comedy line of talk that gets the laughs. Each member of this act changes their voice. The three girls and there is not a dull moment from start to the finish. The act closes with Miss Whitman in male attire doing a characteristic song and dance. Three Sunbeams in the background, which send the audience home saying. "We have seen one act that is clean, clever, artistic and re- The Great Adams. A novelty that is worth seeing while the orchestra is playing a tuneful melody. Mr. Adams is performing wounderful tricks on a bicycle. After for some moment Mr. Adams brings his act to a close with a unicycle, doing tricks never before seen here. Mr. Adams is one of the many acts that play white time altogether. By special arrangement he can make our people a real treat in a novelty act. Such acts as his should be seen by all colored audiences. All managers who think well of their patrons will do as our little manager does—the acts that we never have the chance to see. Miss Motlev. Miss Motley, the female partner of Mr. Marsh, is one of the most consistent of popular songs, and is well received. As everyone knows, the little lady, the sweetest, the soubret, and the fairest falls to make good. Slow Kid. Unlike his name, he is not slow. The fact is, he is the fastest man you ever saw. He tells a few jokes that are funny. He knows how to get him to he gets the laughs. He finishes his act with a song and dance—and what I mean, he dances. Unlike other dancers, his dance is of a comedy nature that brings plenty of laughs and applause from the audience. Archie Jones, Miss Tanzel and John Gertude In a fifteen-minute tabloid stock act. This act starts the audience off with a laugh, and at the end of much merriment that it is almost an impossibility for the next act to follow. Mr. Jones, the clever character artist, is doing best in Miss Agile Tanzel, that popular singing soubret, finds herself at home in her bit of lines which require some acting. She adds to her graceful appearance. Mr. Gertrude, who acts the part of a servant girl, creates the exciting comedy at the finish, which causes There is no better show in town that the one at the Crown this week. K E C EASTERN THEATRICAL NOTES. (By Billy E. Jones.) Miller and Lyles scored a big success at the Proctor theater, Newark, N. J., last week. They are now on the United time. To whom it may concern: The rumor which has been current for the past two years, is the effect that Romeo L. Dougherty, dramatic editor of the Amsterdam News, is engaged, has no foundation as Dougherty alleges that it was more in the nature of a joke that he allowed him self to go in the way of the近日. He also denied that his contemplated trip abroad is to appease the wrath of his parents, as it is well known that he had already planned to leave the States next spring, and will return to take charge of his department in three months.

Billy Nichols in comic songs was clever, and dainty Theresa Borroughs and a bunch of other people such an extent that the people were loth to leave the house at the conclusion of every performance.

Managers, Beware Of the Male Member of the Team of Lewis & Lewis, Whose Cuts Appear Herewith THE MUSICIAN About three months ago I booked above act. Wired tickets ten days before time to open, also wired instruction about where to get tickets, etc., with privilege to wire MY EXPENSE anything that might occur to prevent him being on time. Act was to open on Monday; four days before Monday Lewis wired, "Be there Saturday." Act did not get in Saturday. Monday came and act did not get in. Wired Lewis, "What is wrong?" Got no answer. Three days after time to open one Mr. White came in on one of my tickets and said Lewis told him to tell me that his wife was sick. Three days later got wire from Lewis, "Tried to get team to take my place, could not do so, will come alone now." Waited several days, Lewis failed to appear. Wired him to send me my ticket, as same was void day after date of issue. Also had refund on ticket stopped. Later wrote him at his last address, also in care of The Freeman; both letters were delivered, as my return address was on both envelopes. I have waited all this time in order to give Lewis good time to square himself. I have not heard one word from him since last telegram above referred to. Am always willing to send tickets when necessary to good legitimate acts, but won't stand such actions as above. Am running this add. in the interest of managers and the profession generally. I shall run it in every colored paper of any value in the United States to show this fellow up. Ticket is worth just so much blank paper to Lewis; to me it is worth face value.

WEIRD GAME. Near-Riot Staged—Word of Umpire Disputed by Visitors. Scoreboard Groans Under Weight of Runs, Colored Men Taking 11 to 5 Count. SAN DIEGO, Cal.-If it is possible for eighteen men to play fifty-seven varieties of baseball in one game, then each and every one of the fifty-seven varieties was the American Giants took the second game in the series from Palmer's Bears by a 11 to 5 count. Hits, errors and arguments vied with each other regarding which would be greatest, a total, yet with all of the words uttered, the game were more than wordy, the game brought out several hair-raising plays. One thing was clearly established yesterday, and that is the Giants are past master of the word. The word of Umpire McCaffery is contradicted by good proof, fans who attended the near Shiloh engagement of yesterday, and that is McCaffery did the thing while he did Pierce, the first sacker for the Giants. Led to Bench by Officer. On a close decision at first, in which Downeey was concerned, Pierce questioned the ruling of the umpire. He sulked and made a noise, all of which prompted the players to Cafferty, the colored player called him a vile name. Pierce refused to obey McCafferty's command to go to the bench, but his defiance was short-lived, for he had to the visitors' habitation by an officer. From then on arguments took place with great frequency and in the latter half of the game, Leetelder aalker of the Bears tried a trick to the blow, with Centerfielder Hill of the Giants as the victim. Players and umpire, also officers, averted further trouble between the players and the wrangling would not have happened if opposing managers had directed their teams with better judgment. Forgetting the rough stuff the exhibited players had to deal with, the three homers. In the four-bank knocks Ran and Dougherty, opposing pitchers, and Duncan played the title roles. Dougherty drive over the right-handed foul was the longest ever clearing that barrier. Two Chances for "Chief." "Big Chief" Jack Meyers, who caped in right for the eBars, probably will recall many times how he was called on to help with the foul cessions. The first time, which was in the opening, the big fellow failed to deliver and whiffed when the bases were filled, this retiring the Bears. Again in the middle, the Bears was out and no fame, for three weeks on and two were down. This time he connected and his single to left scored a pair of Bears. The Giants sneaked into the run column and frayed in the opening frame, when Barber came home on Pierce's hit to left. Barber got on when Walker dropped his飞. It was an easy chance. The Giants tucked away by "Rube" Foster's men in their half of the second, this being the homer made by Dougherty. The Bears tipped the beam in the last of the third and left the score two and two for Meyer's hit scoring Bennett and Downey. Each Score in Seventh. Each aggregation blanked in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, but the lucky seventh brought three for each side. Three hits and one error gave the Giants a win, but the second and third on hits and two errors. One of these blows was Ryan's homes. This run-getting left a pair of losses on the scoreboard, and soon the Giants hopped on Ryan in the first of the next canto and rolled up five runs. And worst of all the five tallies came after two men hit, and the Giants gave the lift when he made it to Myers to catch Hutchinson. After that runs came so fast that tallies seemed to rain. Curtailing description of the registration, and the losses resulted from four hits and two errors. Once more in the first of the ninth for colored team ended the scoring, the Bears being easily disposed of in their last GIANTS TAKE SECOND STRAIGHT GAME FROM McCORMICKS, 7 TO 3. Monroe Makes Long Drive Over Cen- ter Field in Los Angeles, California. The Giants cleaned up on the Shamrocks at Vernon, making it two in a row for the colored boys. Johnson was Foster's choice for the second game and got the win by walking one. Chech attempted to take a hitch in the falling Shamrocks, but only succeeded in helping the downward flight. They two innings the Angel twirler kept the Chicago warriors away from the home plate, but in the third Killifer proceeded to muss a nice grounder off of Petty's bat; Chech caused more confusion at first on an infield hit, putting Johnson on second and Petty on third; Barber lifted a high one to Kelly in center, scoring Petty. In the meantime Johnson had taken too big a lead off the halfway bat and was an easy out, to Pargo. In the next session the colored lads again fell on the offerings of Chech and annexed two more tallies. Monroe waited out four wide ones and one to Thomas, Taylor tripled, scoring Monroe. Duncan grounded to Thomas on first, but Petway came through with a single, scoring Taylon. Johnson found, ending the game. lor. Johnson fanned, ending the agony. In the last half of the fourth the Harpe gave up the ball and Goodman lined for two bases, putting Page on third. Thomas laid down a hot one to Barber on short and ambled on to second when Barber threw low to first, Fitzgerald then threw low. The fifth saw the further lambing of the McCormicks, the Glants adding two more tallies to their credit on a brace of walks, an error and two hits. The fifth saw the finish hit by Barber and a long fly totaled for one run in the seventh for the Glants, and in the last frame Monroe flipped the pill over the left field fence for a homer. The McCormicks scored two runs in the eighth on single a double and sacrifice hit. GIANTS.

Lasted Two Rounds. Rube Foster made his initial appearance out Vernon way, but he didn't stay long. To be exact, he lasted two innings. Perhaps it was an offday for the porter to play, but he didn't. The McCormick's, smarting under two defeats, showed a remarkable liking for the offerings of the aforementioned heaver and also took to Gatewood and Dougherty, who attempted to stop the bombardment of the team was 9 to 6.

Wolgast a Hard Loser to Willie Ritchie—Chose Fouling as His Route of Defeat. SAN FRANCISCO—Although nine out of every ten men who saw the passing of the lightweight championship from Ad Wolgast to Willie Ritchie, argued that the erstwife Wolgast had probably fouled Ritchie Wolgast today charged that he had been robbed. "I didn't hear Referee Griffin caution me in the sixteenth round," he said, "and I do not believe I struck a foul blow. I think that a poor way to win a championship." Ritchie merely grinned today when told that Wolgast was protesting. "That's a fine way to beer," he remarked. "Everybody knows that Ad fouled me twice, and that Griffin couldn't win." Ritchie said he was fouling me, I was not by any means weak, and I could have easily finished him in another round. I just simply had Ad's number and I still have it." "The general impression among fight fans was that Wolgast preferred to lose on a foul rather than have a knockout scored against him. Wolgast in Distress. From the tenth round to the end, the California boy began to wade into Wolgast's backyard, and in the fourteenth, and in the fifteenth he all but scored a knockout. In the sixteenth, Ritchie went after his man with both hands, landing punishing walleys and a quick slam into the back and staggered heavily about the ring. With a minute of the sixteenth round remaining, Ritchie but Wolgast to the floor and was about to finish him when Wolgast ran out of room, and the referee warned him, but he repeated the blow and Griffin raised Ritchie's hand as the victor. He proceeded to do some cashing before he risks his newly acquired lightweight title in a battle with Ad Wolgast or anybody else. Billy Nolan, his manager, announced today that he will accept a vaudeville contract, offered a salary, Considine, calling for a salary of $1,500 a week for a brief "stunt" daily. After the titleholder has cleaned up a bundle of money, he will be ready, to take on all opponents. "Wolgast can talk business with us later on," said Nolan today. "We have the people we need to talk to, like it we may possibly consent to give him a return match. But we will take our time about it and you can gamble that the people we dictate the terms the next time." Jim Griffin, who refereed the contest, thinks Wolgast fouled deliberately. "Wolfram delivered, two deliberate fouls, calmed him, and though he was of the belief that THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER knockout was imminent and therefore he hit low to avoid the sleep potion. I warned him not to blow, but he deliberately repeated it and I believe both blows were intentional." Promoter Tom McCarey today said he would try to have the match between Rivers and champion Ritchie on February 22. A few months ago a few special friends of the team watched the match, a movement to secure a special gift of $50,000 to lighten his burdens and encourage him in his work at Tuskegee, to be a member of selected persons throughout the United States. The movement has been continuously responded to, that $53,000 a year for five years has been guaranteed. "THE MAN FARTHEST DOWN." (Doubleday, Page & Co., Publishers, Garden City, N. Y. $1.50 Net.) By Monroe N. Work. In Dr. Washington's newest book, "The Man Farthest Down," we have striking comparisons between the race problem as it exists in America and the problem of the man farthest down in Europe. The general conclusion of the book is that the prejudices, difficulties and hindrances under which the Negro in America labors are very similar to those that confront the lower classes in Europe. It was found that, just as in this country, the people are making progress. In some places they were advancing slowly, but everywhere there is progress rather than decline. This book should be read by every one who wishes to get a larger view of the so-called race problem, for it is shown that the problem of the man farthest down in America and the man farthest down in Europe is essentially the same. The Man Farthest Down is Woman. One of the most striking statements found in the book is that "the man farthest down in Europe is woman." Women everywhere have the narrowest outlook, do the hardest work, stand in the greatest need of education, and are farthest removed from the influences which are everywhere raising the level of life among the masses of the European people. The condition of the peasant women in Sicily is far below that of Negro women in the remotest sections of the Black Belt of the South; as, for example, Negro girls have the same opportunities for education that Negro boys have. They can enter the same industrial school, and, if they choose, go to the same college. All the trades and professions are open to them. Every year hundreds of Negro girls from farming districts of the South go up to attend normal schools and colleges. There they come under the influence of some of the best and most cultured white and colored people in the United States. These educational advantages which the colored girls of the South enjoy are far beyond the reach of the peasant girl in Sicily. "She has never dreamed of possessing them. In the country villages in Sicily I venture to say that not one girl in a hundred ever learns so much as to read and write. The Sicilian women are looked upon by the men as inferior creatures and regarded as species of property. They live like prisoners in their own villages." Comparisons Between the Negro in America and the earliest DOWN Europe. Many interesting comparisons are drawn between the conditions of the Negro in America and the man farshest down in Europe. In one of these it is pointed out that there are many points of similarity between the Jew and the Negro, because of the prejudice that is manifested toward, each one of them. The Negro, it is stated, should be especially interested in the story of the Jew, in the history of his struggles and persecutions, and how he has risen in spite of these. Contrary to the popular idea, Dr. Washington says that the direction in which the Jew seems superior to all the rest of the world is apparently not in wealth, but in education. "If," he says, "there were no other reason why the story of the Jew should be studied it would be interesting and inspiring as showing what education can do and has done for a people, who, in the face of prejudice and persecutions, have patiently struggled up to a position of power and pre-eminence in the life and civilization in which all races are beginning to share." In Austrian Poland it was found that where the peasants were advancing progress had begun at the bottom, and where they were remaining stationary the Polish nobility still ruled the masses of the people. They were content with opportunity to play at politics, and had not learned the necessity of developing the resources that exist in the masses of the people. "Any one who studies the movements and progress of the Negroes in America will find much that is interesting by way of comparison of the situation of the Polish people and that of the American Negro. My own observation has convinced me, for example, that in those States where the leaders of the Negroes have been encouraged to turn their attention to politics, the masses of the people have not made the same progress that they have in those States where the leaders have been compelled to seek their own salvation in educating and building up in moral and material directions the more lowly members of their own people. In no other part of the United States have the masses of the Negroes been more completely deprived of political privileges than in the State of Mississippi, and yet there is, at the same time, scarcely any part of the country in which the masses of the people have built more schools and churches or where they have gained a more solid foothold on the soil and industries of the State. In calling attention to this fact I do not intend to offer an excuse for depriving any members of my race of any of the privileges to which the law entitles them. I wish to emphasize the fact that there is hope for them in other directions than in ordinary party politics." Racial Hatred Much the Same Among People of the Same Color as Differentiated In the discussion of the situation in Hungary attention is called to the fact that it appears to be about as easy there as in America for selfish persons to take advantage of prejudice and sentiment and use it for their own ends. "In fact," says the writer, "all that I saw and learned in regard to the relation of the races in Hungary serves to show me that racial hatred works in much the same way, whether it exists among people of the same color, but different speech, or among people of different color, but the same speech." Hungary, with its many nationalities, is seeking to solve its racial problem by holding down the weaker races and people. America, in contrast, is seeking to accomplish the same result by lifting them up. "In Hungary every effort is made to compel the so-called inferior race to give up their separate language and forget their national history, traditions and civilization. In America, on the contrary, each race and nationality is encouraged and takes pride in everything that is distinctive or peculiar, either in its traditions, racial traits or dispositions. There is no other country where the man farthest down has more opportunity or greater freedom than in the United States." The Amount Spent Annually for Char- The Amount Spent Annually for Char ity in London Is Twenty Times the Negro Normal and Industrial Schools. London, with a population of something over 7,000,000, spends every year about $70,000,000 for the relief of its poor and unfortunate. In contrast to this, it is pointed out that in the Southern States, where nineteenth of the Negroes reside, practically nothing is spent in charity upon them. The only purpose for which this Negro has, to any extent, asked or received philanthropic aid has been for the support of education. The people of the country have been generous in their contributions to Negro education. "In spite of this fact, the income of all the Negro colleges, industrial schools and other institutions of so-called higher education in the South is not one-twentieth of what is expended every year in London in charity and relief, not for the purpose of education, but merely to rescue from worse disasters the stranded, the outcasts and those who are already lost." The Man Farthest Down Was Not Found. Dr. Washington, in the closing chapter of the book, says: "And now, at the conclusion of my search for the man farthest down in Europe, let me confess that I did not succeed in finding him. I did not succeed in reaching any place in Europe where conditions were so bad that I did not hear of other places which friends advised me to visit, where conditions were a great deal worse. I saw much that was primitive and much that was positively evil in the conditions in Europe, but nowhere did I find things as bad as they were described to me by persons who knew them for some years before, and I found almost no part of the country in which substantial progress had not been made; no place, in short, where the masses of the people were without hope." Likewise, in this country, statements to the contrary notwithstanding, there is no place where the Negro is relapsing into barbarism, but everywhere, even in the remotest corners of the Black Belt, he is making some progress.

The next Olympic will be held in Berlin in 1916. The American athletes will do well and will win those countries athletics are almost a passion. Sweden, England and Germany, it is thought, will make great efforts to win the laurels. The Johnson-Cameron Affair—The Re- nunciation. Young Lowery Still Winning—Too Tough for the Eastern Guys. (By Billy Lewis.) "Way out West, where the weather's fair They've a dance out there Called the Grizzly Bear." Something extremely fascinating about that dance, there must be. The Tianchan masters have been buying to fill it off over two months yet it lives right on, perfectly oblivious to the professionals' assegal. However, it is thought, at this time, that old grizzly is quite moribund, although there is much evidence that others disoluting "causes" is wasn't to other compounds. If not the dances, giving them some what of that peculiar little that is noted in the original. Way out West they are playing some breezy baseball. And the way the newspapers take on over the brown boys is worthy of attention. A club got scrap-at San Diego—the clubs got scrap-pay—a tough house being threatened at any moment. One player on the Giants' side became so unrulable that he refused to take the bench when ordered to do so by the umpire. An officer was called, when he all too obstipred one was gently under the name. The interested newspaper people of the far West featured this feature—the seating of the obstipereous brunette. There he is all pictured looking for the world like a Turk on a retreat, being urged along by a big Bulgar of a policeman. The newspaper refers the incident as the "benching of R.J. Reynolds." The boys are getting such good treatment that they may never become reconciled to the ways of their home and vicinity. I have spoken to them and their doings. One is reminded of the so-called "Black Invasion" when Sam McVey and others made their descent on Australia. The Californians seem to be enappetated. The colored man has told them that they get too cute, so cute as to have to go to jail. Golden opinions are now being entertained. Let it go at that—keep it up. Read this: "It was a great game. Not a fan there. I was so proud to catch his breath when it was all over, and then what a cheer it was that rolled across the diamond. And not a fan there was who was not going over and over the city, play by play and not to the city. "All the good things that have been said about the Giants are none too good. They are a classy aggregation, and then some. Fast fielders, great peggers and heavy hitters, they make up a team capable of going club a stadium, and one not yet to be won until the last man is out." Essie Whitman says in her song, "Ain't It Fine, Ain't It Nice?" They are hair palettes out there for sure, and I take it that they mean it, since they glory in Perhaps the western writers, those in California, are not so earnest appearing in the league, but they put more "zip" into what they say. Guess that "zip" is not in the dictionary. Maybe it's defunct Saxon, a language noted for words that sound like the things thought about. Here is a sample table built by the team, although the tables were turned against the Giants: "Before the largest crowd that ever turned out for a baseball game, the Giants from dusty old Chicago in a game full of sensational stops, fast fielding and brilliant base running on the part of the San Diego players. The contest resembled an old-time swat-fest, the Bears taking kindly to the stants doled up by a Mr. Johnson. The colored brethren made spectacles of themselves at times in a vain endeavor to The Johnson-Cameron Affair. The Johnson-Cameron case, which has been occupying the boards for the last half dozen weeks, seems to be in its final. It was "recherche all right, en unto the world," Johnson said, "to speak. Johnson has paid liberally enough for his "mess of potage," very nearly exchanging his "birthright." And after all of the Johnson heroism, Lucile retreated to the bridges behind her. Her renunciation "is am glad they locked up me. If Jack $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous delirium, sick of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worm and nervous men and prescribes own homes with any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and accurately, will be determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who wishes to me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surreptitating combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that I can anywhere no wee and disguise any drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, 3831 Luck Building, and so cure himself at home quietly and copy of this splendid receipt in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. Johnson had asked me to run away with him I should have done it. I was fascinated with the idea that he was the man who then taught me the heroes that every girl who thinks she is in love ought to get thirty days in jail to think it over and make sure. "I had been reading ancient romances when I met him when the heroes that fought and won battles, and it seemed to me in my then state of mind that Johnson was a hero like them. Now I know more than I did. A girl's best friend is her mother."—From an interview with Lucie Cameron. "I suppose it will be hard to explain how I felt in this matter so that people will not believe me what I have been accused of being of being that he wanted to marry me and at first I remember laughing at the idea. I thought Johnson just a big, laughing, good-natured black Hercules, and I admired him intensely because of his strength, as well as his skill to conquer. "At first I never should have dreamed of riding on public streets with him, but it wasn't long before it seemed to me an heroic thing for me to be seen with such "The school I went to was awfully strict. We never read very much that could warn a girl against such a queen. I had to ask Why my mother first tried to convince me that it was impossible for me to marry Johnson I couldn't understand her. Of course it is an overwhelm. I have ruined my relationship with suppose, but I think mother understands and all I want is a chance to make an honest living. I shall never think of marriage now. Isn't that I have the slightest atom of suspicion? I suppose there is a man who could understand that I never was worse than a hero-worthy shipping school girl. In any event, I just want to work and do what I can to make everything in the world for me." Offers of engagements in vaudeville for the girl were received immediately after her release on bail, but Mrs. Cameron-Falconet rejected all overtures in that directive. "Suppose Johnson and you should meet?" "I've broken the spell," she replied. "Jason Johnson is on his pedestal and the pedestal is smashed. He cured." Was it this for which he "bled and died"—endured his mortal agony? Been reading Hannibal, Otello, perhaps. And Hannibal was black. We will let it rest with Hannibal, Otello, and the Dumas, pere and fils, of France; they are a pretty good set to literary pretensions if she has had much to do with that push of individuals. Her judgment should be pretty sound—"that's not yellow journalism, or yellow-back Machiavelli the great Italian statesman and author, says that he was noted for strange political notions, which in this age, also Macauley's, are hard to be held for the best in politics and government. This, he says, was due to the cycles of thought toleration, or to that effect, when views of a certain creature in those of another age. Murder and chicery, etc., thus become virtue in a way—herolism and so forth. The literature of such a day or such cycles was black with the concurrent thought of the cycles. As I view it, there's nothing of a subversive nature in the chronicles of the Negroes mentioned that would unduly attack the white people yet put it included LOverture in the category of the great black men. If through the hard and thorough processes of correct reasoning Miss Cameron was attracted to those who needed to be put under the needle to the pole, as Desdamona to her liege lord, owing to their surplusage of courage and virtue. No revolution of thought has tended to put them beyond the reach of the white man. Of course Jack Johnson is none of the men, and if she thought so her period for reflection did its work. No one despises Desdamona for her love of the Moor. He was more than comely. He was kingly and powerful. He was patra, dying as fittingly for his deed, apparently—stung with his own poniard, as Cleopatra dgloriously apparently, stung with his renunciation! What man, woman, does not remember that important epoch in their lives. Sometimes there are more renunciations in a lifetime than one. But standing out like that fiery inscription on Belshazzer's wall, or like those skilled mpritechnics, when all else are burned away there stands emblazoned that "authorized your misery." In the language of the street, Miss Cameron put one over on Jack. She jumped away from him—and no bad thing. She might have left off the observations she made, but the man she publicly acknowledged. The jail is not a very recommendable place for lovesick maidens. In the first place, it is their mission to love, but of course they are not supposed to get in wrong—to get hurt. The advice could be amended to that effect. Young Lowery Down East. Young Lowery well known to the sporting set here in Indianapolis, is still winning in the East, just as he was winning in the West. Young was born in Indianapolis but he was made here. If he becomes great like Dante, more than one city will contest the distinction of his final resting place, I, myself, was born in Old Keenucky, and I was born in Old Whatchow on "in the old town." It's not very likely that anybody's going to make a fuss over us. If so, we've got to do more than we been doin' that's clear enough. We would develop him, and he is set down to our credit. Read the following from a Pittsburgh paper: "Hooks Evans of the South Side, had a delegation of rosters on hand to see him black battler, who is decreed to be a heavy hitter. Evans stopped Lowery's hard rights with his jaw in the first round and shook in his tracks, but declined to go down. He had a gory nose from a right on the jaw in the second but recovered and fought back finally. Lowery was best in ring-craft and worried the local boy by ruses. Evans wanted to batten down, to batten down, but the darky was too wary. Evans made a fine rally and got a draw." It's plain that Lowery cleaned his man, who had his partisans on hand. Lowery says so in his letter to this office that he beat Evans. He says a batter in the truest sense; not that he is the very best; he may not be. But he is in that class. MIGHTY FOSTER FANS IN PINCH. Crowd Gasps When "Rube" is Salted on Strikes—All Look Alike to Leverenz, Who is Invincible—Nagle's Men Knock Gatewood Out in Fifth. By Harry A. Williams. "Rube" Foster fanned in a pinch! "Rube" exchanged for mike,色镜. exchanged for mike,色镜. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. human mastodon, who has made a speciality of shattering dollar and a quarter bolls, succumbed on strikes while 40% of his countrymen showed up, 40% of them blinded surprise. Lawdy, can you imagine it? The Tufts-Lyons took the American Giants down the line, 5 to 1, far off the might of the Force. Poor overshadowed the general result. The victory itself, even though it carried with it 60 per cent of the receipts, was forgotten in the personal triumph of pirell white Walter Leverenz over the hope of the colored Fate tempted "Rube" into the limelight thusly: Barber, the first man up for the blacks in the ninth, walked. Pierce popped to Ole Ole, the man in the manslaughter. Monroe forced Taylor at second. Mr. Berger, late of Berlin, collaborating with Olson in the undertaking. Petway then paddled the ball to center for a line single, and dashed to ePway went to second when "Rube" Ellis, originally and occasionally of Rivera, tried the experiment of fielding the ball with his shins. With two down, two on, and a home, the crying need was met. The Afternoon standpoint. Foster armed himself with an infant telegraph pole, and went in to bat for Hutchinson, whose lowly position just above the pitcher in the box meant that he isn't exasperated a bear with the bat. Well, to abbreviate a long story, "Rube" fanned. He fanned furiously. He fanned with all the fervor of his ample being. Each time he ran, which he made with 1,000 of his compatriots gasped in astonishment. Those who have never seen 1,000 compatriots gas in astonishment have no adequate idea of the scene. Those who have never seen 1,000 compatriots gasped in astonishment are the kind of gaspers, and for them to gasp in concert was quite a treat. Seven Men Fanned. "Rube" should not feel crushed or downcast. Seven of his mates met the same fate, and he was the only one, no one's batting percentage would have been safe in his hands. While George Stovall, manager of the St. Louis Browns, didn't show up at the Vernon parade to watch the game, he did up the last moment, Leverenz imagined that his future employer was present, and was determined to show him the best that he could offer. He had to hook him to the trade, and grudgingly allowed five hits. The excellence of Leverenz's performance may be judged by the fact that he held his arms to the ground, and felt that there were five large injury behind him. Samuel Gatewood, a large young man with lots of speed, large curves, and a strong first opponent, Nagle's men knocked Mr. Gatewood off the heap in the fifth innning. Pat Dougherty was sent to the rescue, and beaten by Patrick got padded for two more runs. Giants Begin Early. The Giants were the first to count, scoring one run in the second, without resorting to a base hit. Pierce walked took second on a short passed goal third when Brown threw the ball into center field. Netway scored him with a long Fills. The Tufts-Lyons' evening the count in the third, when Leverenz, Bancroft and Olson bunched a nice assortment of those present, as Mr. Gatewood had not permitted any one to hit the ball safe up to that time. Tyrus Raymond Lober scored for the Tufts-Lyons in the fourth through the instrument, with both own double and overthrow of first. The fifth was a period of pain and travail for Gatewood. Bancroft slapped one of his first slants to center a slam that would have been a truly bribe manner. Berger scored Bancroft with a "Texas leaguer" back of second, and Ellis chased Berger to third with a hit to left. Gatewood considered this the point for the game, but the bribe turned the job over to Dougherty. Pat walked Lober, filling the bases, and after Nagle had been called out on an infield fly, Driscoll was passed, forcing the ball to the ground at this point took it upon themselves to question the correctness of Umpire Bacon's vision. Mr. Foster and other people from Chicago gathered about Mr. Cacom in the center and the visitors were beaten unhappy for about five minutes. About this time the Vernon chief of police crawled through a hole in the wire mesh and bade the visitors to step out. Berger tripped in the seventh, the ball taking a bad hop over Barber, and scored on a single by Ellis. This made Dougherty desperate, and he mowed down the fence. From that on nothing of importance happened until "Rube" fanned. A.B.R. B.H. S.B. P.O. A.

Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, November 23, 1912.—By a score of 7 to 6, Fisk University won from Tuskegee, last Saturday, in their annual football contest. This was the fourth game between these institutions, and Fisk excelled in putting and forward passes; Tuskegee was superior at straight football. Tuskegee used the forward pass twice only, and the second attempt scored from the 15-yard line. Fisk won the first quarter, bounded over Tuskegee's goal. Tuskegee fumbled and Fisk fell upon the ball. An easy goal gave the visitors the winning point. The referee's whistle at the end of the second half prevented Tuskegee from scoring another touchdown, as the ball had been brought within 7 yards of the Fisk goal. Fisk never, during the last three-quarters, came within striking distance of Tuskegee's goal. Booker T. Washington, Jr., was captain for the game, and a consistent game for his team at fullback. A large body of students from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute for white young men, came down to witness the event and several of them as officials. J. L. W. THE FREEMAN IN NEW YORK.

There are now eleven branches in the association. The last two in St. Louis Mo., and Quincy, Ill. May we not especially urge on persons in sympathy with our work the necessity of need your names, your influence and your money. We need the money for a test case of the civil rights law. A press committee, consisting of thirty men, has joined P. Morton, Jr. of 62 Vesey street, New York City, as chairman, has been organized to answer unfair editorials and articles on the Negro question appearing in newspapers and magazines. Glad that the "Men's Civic Club" is getting busy. The bosses have planned their campaign for the city election. Voters, prepare your demands. Ask a higher price than ice cream and watermelon. Ask for enforcement of a law rights as citizens, or less. As Negro women we often feel, because of the humiliation we suffer from the racism that we face, that our strivings are useless, but when a woman like Mrs. Francis Hoggan, M. D. of London, Eng, finds so much in her life that she must go marching on "In London, Eng, at the Woman's Institute, Mrs. Francis Hoggan, M. D. gave a lecture on "Negro in India in the 19th Century," Expedition Fifty Years Ago. In a comprehensive survey of the gradual progress of women from the time they ceased to slaves, she pointed out the intellectual and gang-related themselves and gained for themselves political and social rights. She claimed that they were moving quietly but forbly toward the intellect in the American Union black women, whose mothers were slaves, were now exercising their rights in the American civil rights. Negro women had never failed since their liberation, and their record was one to be pondered over with respectful admiration, for from such a time onward reaching results had ensured."—Crisis. SALE OF RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS. For several years the American Red Cross society has raised money for their tubercular work by the sale of Christmas seams. Heretofore the sale has not been made appropriate, but this year the city has been distracted. The work among the colored people as a whole is new and therefore was not divided. This work was given to the Woman's Aid organization making a specialty of tubercular work among colored people. It is hoped that every organization or individual contemplating the purchase of stamps will get them from our own merchant. NEGATIVE SPEAKERS WIN DEBATE. The debate held by the Forum at Bethel A. M. E. church last Sunday was an unusually interesting debate, full of data and originality. The subject involved the debate of the role of the ministering to the Negro in this country. O. W. Langston, D. D. S., and Miss Mary Fields indorsed higher education for the race, while Attorney R. B. Smith and Missanners of the debate defended the industrial side of the subject. The judges were the Rev. Price, Attorney F. B. Ransom and John Lewis, of the Indianapolis World. The discussion of the subject took place among the members of the Forum, at which time several well delivered temporaneous speeches were made. Among them was Mr. Lewis, who said it is not intended for higher education and industrial education to be considered with a wide range between them, but that both should be brought together that the more intelligent and might work together more intelligently.

Crisp, but ideal football weather welcomed an enthusiastic crowd to Brighton Beach to witness the first annual football game, the Flanner Guild. The tally sheet pronounced the association the victor by the score of 7 to 0. "V" chose the west goal and the Flanner Guild the east goal. At 3:17 the former kicked off to the Guild's twenty-yard line and after six minutes on play, the Guild scored. The play was made on a forward pass from Captain Floyd to Bliss Reed, right end. Floyd kicked goal. Neither team scored. The good article of football and had a large following of rooters who wore red and white streamers. While they outweighed the association team of Guilders were not the best in the late style of game. In straight football tactics they held their own and after a shift of players in the last period this team scored a score—or at least fostering a touchdown. The open style play of the "Y" won the appreciation of the spectators, as this is the kind of game they like to see played with a ball. It was the game and also lessens the danger of injuries. Not a "Y" man required time out for injuries or because of lack of condition or want of cork. The sportsmanlike spirit of the players records the game as being very much unlike games of seasons passed. Floyd had his men under perfect control, and from a critical point of view it was his generalship and the teamwork of his men that made him successful. Despite this being the first season that several of his battlers had ever donned a molekim-freshmen at the game. While this was the first and only game of the season, it was composed of stars from other local teams. But it was apparent that it was only through their superior weight that they held the "Y" to a small score, for several times when it seemed evident that the team had score, the Guilders brought forth beef. "Y" Speed Too Much. The game was a good demonstration of a well managed light but speed eleven against and outplaying a heavy but slow opponent, and the players lined "Y," and Johnson, Flanner Guild, pushed themselves into prominence by their spectacular plays. Rollins with his keenness and outplaying a hard-handed man in his steam roller line plunges. He made some sensational gains through the line of his opponents, plowing through at the back. Dopesters expected to see a lot of booting, but neither team punted much. Captain Floyd made the ongest gain of the game, plowing through a fake forward pass. He was full of dash and vim and seldom failed to gain. Of course it must be conceded that this could not be done without the sharp intercept and rollin' and rollin' at left and right halves. Thomas King was a sure ground gainer and his brother was a sure and hard tackler. "Fatty" was a sure ground gainer and his brother on the "Y," was the association's best man on the line. The lineup: Y.M.C.A. Position Guild. Hazzard. L. E. Griffin Rollins.....F. B.....Johnson O. King.....R. H.....Brown Referee, Harry Lee. Managers, Edward S. Galliard, Y. M. C. A.; Attorney R. Brokenburr, Flanner Guild. A Few Onside Kicks. Stone played well at center, but not as of old. Young "Rip Van Winkle" Owens made holes through the "Y" line time after time and made some daring tackles. Griffin made a flying tackle for Floyd on an end run and missed his aim. And then—well, they tapped him off the field. For a while in the second period the "Y" played the Guilders off their feet. Had they made quicker formations who knows what the score might have been? Ellott added materially to the Guild's line. "Phebe" Clay—That spells five and a half men. Phebe never was idle. Phebe never missed a tackle. Phebe was about as slow as steel jacket bullet. Phebe take it from me, is a football player. Ask Floyd if that isn't right. W. J. I. Reed, the house mover, stepped out on the field during the intermission between the third and last periods and entered houses and to get a move on himself. Bliss' time increased to Dan Patch's mark. Captain Elbert made sure his good run ended with an association boys. He did not play the whole game through but switched his brother Harlan from left half to quarter and went to the side lines. Harlan ran the whole game and his parent that he knew the weakness of his own team as well as that of his opponents, and it was during his play at quarter that the Guild made a series of telling statements about the red and white supporters to a state of frenzy. Harlan played a heady game at left half but showed up better at his position at quarter. Excluding "Pheb," he was the surest tackler of his squad. . . . Slaughter formerly quarter back on the All-Highs, did not have much opportunity to show up. Phelps, running across the field, dropped the ball three times and finally fell on it with "Phebe" hugged around his legs. What the moguls said of the game: Manager Brokenburr: "Both teams played well. My boys were outclassed." Manager Gallard: "Didn't I tell you so?" Captain Elbert: "We played them and we played them hard. Read the score and you see that the game was closely contested." Captain Floyd: "It's amusing. We won and yet my team was afraid of the Guild. While I had my hands full at quarter I had to busy myself feeding my men with confidence. The elite of the city was there. The girls were enthusiastic. G. L. Knox, Dr. J. H. Ward, Dr. W. E. Brown, Dr. M. D. Battles, H. L. Sanders, Jime. C. J. Walker, Attorney F. B. Ransom, dWm. Scott were among the "Y" rooters. CLUB TO HELP THROUGH THE WINTER. About twenty ladies met at the home of M. C. J. Walker on Tuesday evening for the purpose of organizing a club to aid the poor through the winter. The M. C. J. Walker and M. C. J. Walker started a fund by a gift of $50. The club will be permanent. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Religious. The greatest monster meeting of the season is expectant on the afternoon the Crown Garble theater, when Dr. J. E. Moorland, of Washington, land is beyond, doubt one, of the highest orators of the race. He is one of the colored international secretaries of the Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. band, under the direction of Fred Clay, will render the music. Jones will give a violin solo, and will give a selection by the Y. M. C. A. quartette. Those who were not at the monster meeting last Sunday missed a great treat. It was ladies' day and the theater was full. David M. Hall diverged perhaps the greatest oration of the series, thus far. The Bible class of the Y. M. C. A. is passing through an interesting part of the old Bible history. The class is very interesting, expects a larger class with our larger and growing association. Social The "explanation" meetings are well attended as each man seems to be eager to learn the work of the association. Each member, as he attends this meeting, is given a card. These meetings will continue until each member shall have attended. The Y. M. C. A. building is once more getting to be more and more a place of meeting. The meeting room is well filled with men, who meet and discuss the trend of events. Athletic The Y. M. C. A. football team defeated the Flanner Guild team on Thanksgiving afternoon in one of the hardest games of the season. The game was won by the Guilds, who won a nine inch of ground was hotly contested. At the end of the game the score stood 7 to 0 in favor of the Y. M. C. A. team. Once more the old gold and black conquered. The Guilds, while the Y. M. C. A. team seemed to be composed of all stars. The use of the forward pass was much in vogue and great gains were made by both teams. But the Guilds games were played anywhere this season was played between these two teams. The basketball season at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium will open in a short time. They will be informed later. Some fast teams will line up in the inter-association league.
