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." He also accuses us of trying to displace a young lady who is employed secretary of the Frankfort Normal Institute. This statement is untrue.

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.

The Cane Club football team met the Alpha Omega team Thursday, November 8th in the annual game. This was the second meeting of these independent teams and one of the prettiest, fastest and hardest games seen in Louisville was for a game of this kind. Coach Johnson had one of his strongest lines to oppose. Coach Peyton's team and the Cane Club team together make its downs. Cane Club received the kickoff and Henry Anderson, half-back returned the ball twenty yards and after a series of downs the team scored the first. 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. End of first half, 7-5 Alpha bows. The half ended with a score awarded and down the field and neither side could make marked gains, but in the fourth quarter the Cane Club took new deal and passed, cross-crosses, until the had reached Alpha's 15-yard line, when Alpha said to have fouled. The referee had to have the Alpha coach that no foul was committed and when they refused to play after a warning of two minutes, Referee Harris awarded the game to Cane Club, score 1-0.

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.

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.

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.

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- --- --- Prof. J. P.

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. A friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort I did so, and later purchased two of them. Since then the great change in my career has been so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief. My business increased rapidly, and not a thing has occurred to mar my state of happiness. You are at liberty to use this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about 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." Mr. Ellis the Recipient of Many Honors Mr. Ellis has received many honors for a young man. For special study and a thesis he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London; a member of the African Society for the Advancement of Science; a member of the American legation to the Republic of Liberia for nine and one-half years; a member of the American Political Science A.

He is known upon three continents as lawyertwriter, scholar, diplomat and statesman. Ellis and "The World in Chicago." "The World in Chicago," is the name of the great convention that meets here in May of next year, when there be representatives from all the continents. A great program has been arranged to discuss the religions of all peoples. A booklet contains the great centers of the different continents and the works of all hationalities will be issued. 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.

Mr. Sylvester Russell, the dramatic critic, wrote that the Freeman is, the reliable report that Russell circulated along the "stroll." Russell is a deal of his time to his "Review." Some management is said to be the real cause. 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.

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.

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.

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.

PLAVING GREAT OAL eee at ha wantedts: mast 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 dancing fnasters have been trying to Kill it off for. many moons, yet it lives right on, perfectly oblivious to the professionals’ RSsceai However, it is thought, at this time, that old grizaly is quite moribund, although there 18 much evidence that his ‘di.soluting “carcass” is passing into other compositions, if not the dances, giving them somewhat of that peculiar lilt that ig noted in the original. Way out West they are playing some breezy baseball, And the way the news- papers take on over the brown boys is worthy of attention. A few days ago at San Diego, Cal, the clubs got scrap- py, a Tough house being threatened at any fidment. One player on the Giants’ side became go unrulable that he refused to take the bench When ordered to do so by the umpire. An officer was called, when the all too obstreperous one was ’ gently ushered out of the game. ‘The interested newspaper people of the far West featured this feature—the seating of the obstrep- erous brunette. ‘There he is all pictured, looking for the world like a ‘Turk on a retreat, being urged along by a big Bul- kar of @ policeman. ‘The newspaper re- fers to, the incident az the “Denching of ‘The boys are getting such good treat- ment that they may never become recon- ciled to the ways of thelr home and vi- cinity.” I have spoken of how the news: papers teem with thelr doings.

Not a fan there was who did not require @ full ten seconds 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 game, play by Play, on the return to the city. “All the good things that have been gaid about the Giants are none too good. ‘They are a classy aggregation, and then some. Fast flelders, great peggers and heavy hitters, they make up a team ca- pable of giving any club a strenuous bat- tle and one not likely to be won until the last man is out.” ‘Basie Whitman says in her song, “Ain't It Fine, Ain't It Nice?” They are hair plaiters’ out there for sure, and I take it that they mean it, since’ they glory in telling ft. Perhaps the western writers, those, In caiifornla, ‘are not so earnest appearing as the sport writers of Australia, but they put more “zip” into what they say. Guess that “zip” 18 not In the dictionary. Maybe it's defunct Saxon, a language noted for words that sound like the things thought about. Here follows a sample of thelr style—brilliant, although the ta- bles were turned against the Giants: “pefore the. largest crowd that ever turned out for a baseball game in San Dhew the Bears defeated 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. “at times the contest resembled an old- time swat-fest, the Bears taking kindly to the siants doled up by a Mr. Johnson. ‘Tho colored brethren made spectacles of themselves at times in a vain endeavor to stem the tide of defeat.”” 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 finale. It was “recherche” all right, even unto the denouement or the renunciation, so to speak. Johnson has paid liberally’ enough for his “mess of pottage,”, very nearly ex- changing his “birthright.” And after all of the Johnson heroism, Lucile retreated and bumned the bridges ‘behind her. “Her renunciation : 4 “Tam glad they locked me up.

We will let it rest with Han- hibal, Othello, and the Dumas, pere and fils, ot France; they are a pretty good set to draw to.

Murder and chicanery, etc, thus become virtue in a way—heroism ‘and so forth. ‘The literature of such a day or such cycles comes down. tainted with the concurrent thought of the cycles. ‘As I view It, there's nothing of a sub- versive nature in the chronicles of the Ne- Broes mentioned that would unduly at- tract or unduly repel. “I might have in- cluded L’Overture in ‘the category of the great. black men. If through the hard find thorough processes of correct reason ing Miss Cameron were attracted to those blacks she should have remained as 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 pale of the praise of universal man. Of course Jack Johnson is none of. these, and if she thought so her period for re- flection did its work. No one despises Desdamona. for her love of the Moor. He was more than comely. He was kingly In-soul; he was a fit consort for a Cleo- patra, dying'as fittingly for his deed, ap- parently—stung with his own poniard, as Cleopatza “died “gloriously apparentiy— stung with asps. ‘The renunciation! “What man, woman, does not remember that important epoch in their lives. Sometimes there are more renunciations in a lifetime than one. But there's generally a very supreme one, Standing out like that fiery inseription on Belshazzer's wall, or like those skilled- made pyrotechnics, ‘when. all” else are burned away there stands emblazoned that startling inscription 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 that are no less than a reflection on the man she publicly acknowledged. ‘The Jail is “not avery recommendable place ‘for lovesick maidens.

While George Stovall, manager of the St. Louis Browns, Gidn't show up at the Vernon park as ex- pected, his trolley slipping its dip at the Jast ‘moment, Leverenz imagined that his fature employer was present, and was de- {ermined to show him the best that he had fo offer. Walt had every variety of hook Known to the trade, and grudgingly al- lowed five hits. The excellence of Lever- enz's performance may be judged by the fact that he held the Giants to one run despite the fact that there were five large juiey errors behind him. Samuel Gatewood, a large young man with lots of speed, large curves and a pow- Srful “appetite, was Leverenz’s first op- ponent. Nagle’s men knocked Mr. Gate- Food off the heap in the fifth inning. Pat Dougherty was sent to the rescue, and be- fore the thing wag done, Patrick ‘got pad- died for two more runs. Giants Begin Early. ‘The Giants were the first to count, scor- ing one Tun in the second, without Fesort- ing to a base hit. Plerce walked, took Second on a short passed ball and gained third when Brown threw the ball into cen- ter field. Petway scored him with a long fly to Eitts. “phe ‘Tutts-Lyons's evened the count in the third, when Leverenz, Bancroft and Ol- Son bunched a nice assortment of singles. ‘This was something of a shock to those present, as Mr. Gatewood had not permit- Yed any, one to hit the ball safe up to that time. Tyrus Raymond Lober scored for the ‘Tufts-Lyons in the fourth through the instrumentality of his own double and Taylor's overthrow of first. ‘The fitth was a period of pain and tra- vail for Gatewood. Bancroft slapped one of his first slants to center for a single, and Olson sacrificed in a truly big league Manner. Berger scored Bancroft with a Mtexas leaguer” back of second, ana Ellis chased Berger to third with a hit to left. Gatewood considered this the psycholog- feal moment for letting go, and 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 Berger over the plate. The Giants 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 of the diamond, and he appeared to be very unhappy for about five minutes. About this time the Vernon chief of police crawled through a hole in the wire mesh and bade the visit~ ors be calm. Brown then fanned, ‘berger tipted in the. seventh, the ball taking a bad hop over Barber, and scored on a'single by Bilis, ‘This made Dough- erty desperate, and he mowed down Lo- ber, Nagle and Driscoll on strikes. From that on nothing of importance happened until “Rube” fanned. 2 ‘The score: TUFTS-LYON. _ * a8 eee oe ‘A.B. R. BEL SB,P.O. A. E.

FISK WINS FROM TUSKEGEE. ‘Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, November 23, 1912.—By a score of 7 to 6, Fisk Uni- versity won from Tuskegee, last Saturday, in their annual football ‘contest. This was the fourth game between these insti- tutions and Tuskegee’s first loss. Fisk excelled in punting 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 tine. : Fisk scored early in. the first_quarter. hounded 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, cf the Fisk goal. Fisk never, during the last three-quarters, came within striking dis- tance of Tuskegee’s goal. ‘Booker T. Washington, Jr., was captain for Fisk, and played a’ consistent game for his team at fullback. ‘A large body of students from the Ala- bama Polytechnic Institute for white young men, came down to witness the contest, and several of them acted as Officials.

She claimed that they were moving quietly but forcibly toward the intellectual lead- ership of the race. In some states in the American Union black women, whose mothers were slaves, were now exercising intelligently thelr newly acquired political and civic rights. Negro women had never failed since their liberation, and their rec- ord was one to be pondered over with respectful admiration, for from such small beginnings such far reaching re- ‘guite had ensued.” —Criasia.
