AMONG THE MORMONS DR. WASHINGTON MAKES VISIT TO SALT LAKE CITY WAS VISITED BY A MORMON BISHOP The Mormon leaders here told me in detail about the policy that they pursued the first time, and here is a great lesson on our people and throughout this country. From the first the Mormons consistently and persevered in their policy, and their people are hold of to settle on the soil madbecome farmers. They knew that if they once got possession of the soil, they would be successful farmers; they would be laying the foundation so secure that they could not be disturbed. Several of the leaders told me that when they first came to the Mormon land, they had a great temptation to exploit the gold, silver and copper mines, but they would not let their people do it, but help them to do it. Now they have few years that the Mormons have begun to get wealth out of the mineral resources, now understanding they have known all the wealth existed. Now that they are in possession of the soil and have taught their people how to become successful farmers, they say they can afford to go into mining. There are two parallels between the Negro and the Mormons. First, as my wife and I were most inluently persecuted almost from the first organization of their church. This was especially true in Missouri and the hundreds of followers were put to death. The courts gave little protection. The mob that either killed or wounded the Mormons was seldom or punished. They were an marks for our punishment wanted to either kill or wound them. Joseph Smith himself, the founder of the Mormon church, out of this inluan and unjust treatment grew the strength of these people. The more they were punished the more persecuted they were. Without opposition and injustice, I question whether the Mormon church would now be in its present flourishing condition, the closer they banded themselves together as well as their lives in their early years, but the more they were persecuted the closer they banded themselves together as well as their lives in their early years. Persecutions advertised this little sect to the world. The result was that through persecution their number increased instead of being diminished. The second parallel between the Mormon and the Negro is this. These people form the world. I have learned by experience and observation that it is never safe to pass final judgment upon a people united by faith, and that the real life of these people. The Negro is suffering today just as the Mormons and people from the outside have advertised the worst in connection with Mormon life and they have seldom called attention to the real life of the Mormons. And then I have learned, too, that no person outside of the Mormons, or of people ever really known to race, group of people until he gets into their homes and has a chance to observe their lives, and that there is a chance to partake of their hospitality, and get into their inner life. There are many wise on the condition of the Negro, who are really afraid to go into a Negro home, who never go into a Negro home, who never get the colored people in any social circle, hence such people know little about the colored people. The same I am convinced is true regarding the Mormons. The people who speak in the most I am convinced that the Mormons are not an immoral people, strong moral principles, as these people have, nor such vigorous and alert minds as they have. It has been said that the Mormons are the legends and universities in nearly every part of America, and I say without hesitation anywhere where the students were more alert, more responsive, more intelligent. Mormon colleges. I was hardly prepared for the over-generous and rapturous reception that was given by the Mormons of which the most part are Mormons, and I had the same experience in addressing the private institutions other institutions conducted by Mormons. I met, for example, one of the daughters f. Joseph M. Smith, the successor to Briham Young and now the head of the church. I was told that she was one of the brightest, most intelligent, modest, fine young woman with a strong body and an alert mind. I was told that the chief forger of the church was strong and alert as she is. Just how many wives President Joseph H. Smith has or had I do not know. He was a plural wives, but I am simply stating facts and giving my impressions. He was a strong character, of every character, an dither they are pushing the matter of technical and industrial education to a stronger degree than we are. In fact, time and time again I was told that they learned their methods for taking care of their wives. In fact, time and time again I was taken off my feet when I went into a class in the university, and the teacher told me that they were taking with the pictures of our students at Tuskegee at work in the various industrial institutions, and they were taking this as their model. I think it will interest my readers to remember Utah. I met several of these, of whom came here in the old days, in fact Brigham Young brought colored people to Utah, and they gave their descendants aureum, remained. Of course, in the old days plural wives were not prohibited by law but I have made them a part of the family, where a colored man ever had more than one wife. It seems to have been the case that no one married not take a second or third or fourth wife without the consent of his first wife, and I was told that no colored woman in Utah could marry a second or third for her husband to take a second wife. I met one colored man who came out here in Utah, and now $2 years of age. He is a stunner Church nor neither the Baptist church nor the Methodist church can get hold of him. I am a fine looking old fellow, a kind of colored Brigham Young. He has a farm worth $25,000, and lives in the midst of a Mormon leader. I am told that the Mormon church treats the colored people well. I am not sure, but discuss the Mormons further, and call attention to their creed, and so forth. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

FAMILY WASHING NEATLY DONE! Ree tn posse SEY Se eee Ueatahet “After the success of the Greeks came the success of the Romans, the success of the French and their Wa. terloo. And history defles any man to say that the Negro's support was not as a band to the weakened in every in which he fought.” So they passed, the slaves at Mara thon. ‘Then with a steady step came the braves who had fought the Spanish for more than 400 years, and who fin ally demonstrated to the world that Cuban Negroes could fight for age: and still wear a smile of endurance brave. By the assistance of the good American forces they finally threw of the Spanish yoke, which for years ha¢ pressed so sorely upon their tired and famished frames. And at their front marched a man whose Visage remind: ed one of who, Of General Maceo— General Maceo, the “Star of Cuba.” ‘Then how happy I was to see the stars and stripes floating upon the heavenly zephyr, carried by the tall straight color bearer. He was a Ne gro. And those colors uoated over the heads of 800 Negroes who were re. eruited in San Domingo by Count D Estaing and who distinguished them selves at the seige of Savannah dur. ing the American revolution. Again the adjutant spoke: “These men covered the retreat o! the American and the French soldiers, checked the British charge and saved the Patriot army from complete an- nihilation, This happened October 9, 1773." That is why in the year 1898 we are released from the debt which we owed the West Indies. They, the West In- dians, saved the Patriots’ army, and we, the American Negroes, saved Cuba, Soon we beheld the Black Cavalry of the civil war, who fought so val- Nantly in some of the bloodiest bat tles of one of the bloodiest wars of all time, And as they passed by, one pointed to the rear. We looked in the direction he had pointed. “These,” said the adjutant, “are the soldiers who fought at Port Hudson, Fort Wagner, Miligan’s Bend and the assault upon’ Petersburg. “These men helped to close the civil war, therefore they helped to place you and T here today.” ‘With steady step passed the Highth Mlinois, Twenty-third Kansas, Eighth and Ninth Immunes and many other |brave volunteers and state troops. Al these, states at the call of the govern- mene for aid, sent their bravest and sent their best. |. Too, came the Forty-cighth and the |Forty-ninth Volunteer regiments, U. $ Army, who not only went to war in | the Philippines, but who made a name |for themselves’ at Cabanatuan and at San Fernando, Luzon, P. 1 | ‘Then rode by a squadron of cavalry, |carrying the colors of the Tenth, U. |S. A. and the national red, white and | biue. ; Packed upon thelr backs and Also |strapped to their saddles were pieces of equipment issued to soldiers on the |field, and some also carried wounded jor dying soldiers on whose cross. sa- | bers were the ornaments and insignia |*Rough Riders, First Cavalry, U. 8. | army.” | Ah! thought 1. ‘The Tenth Cavalry is rescuing the “Rough Riders who |ihade suc a gross ermor In miliary tacties and upon such an error they {climbed nigh onto fame eternal, And for what? j | ‘Themen of the Tenth saved the day by rushing in where the “Rough Riders” backwards or forwards were afraid to tread. ‘This battle, commonly designated as San Juan Hill, was fought at Las Guasimas, and was the first battle of the land forces of the Spanish-Ameri- can war in Cuba, And owing to the | absence of commissioned officers, the enlisted men fought the entire battle with little or no superiors in com- mand higher than their own sergeant major. ‘These men as soldiers are, as Wash- ington, a5 a man was, except that the ‘Tenth U. S. Cavalry was first in war, first in peace and the first soldiers in the hearts of the Negroes. Again we turned our eyes to the |line advancing. ‘This time we see an imposing line of officers advancing with the trained step of the staff officers of the United [States Army, and in their immediate rear is a line of uniformed braves |whose dress we know to be that of ‘the line officers of the same govern- ment. |_“These,” said the guide, “are the Negro officers who have trained the hearts and the arms of the Negroes ‘and enlisted the strength of the noble [braves who have helped to make our America a power at arms.” | ‘Then as they passed in review, 1 recognized the figures of Lieutenant Colonel Allensworth, chaplain, Twen- ty-fourth Infantry; Capt. George W. Prioleau, Ninth Cavalry; Capt. T. G. Stewart, Twenty-fifth Infantry; W. W, BE, Gladden, ‘Twenty-fourth Infantry, and Major W. T. Addison, Tenth Cav- alry. These were all chaplains of the Negro regiments in the regular army. who in 1898 brought the limelight of all future history to focus upon the Negro soldier in Cuba. | And following closely upon the foot: ‘steps of the men of the staf! were | Major Charles Young, Ninth Cavalry; First Lieutenant Ben O. Davis, Tenth |Cavalry; Lieutenant John E.' Green, | Twenty-fifth Infantry, and First Liew: tenant Carter, Twenty-fifth Infantry. | All of these are commissioned off cers of the line who have impressed the military world as to the ability of Legace nye peepee ta face of the earth would have been changed almost entirely. But as the last company of the last battalion passed in review, I saw ap- proaching a lone soldier. This man stood as much alone in countenance as he did in_ position. His height was over six feet; his color was dark and brown; his age Was about twenty-three, and his coun- tenance was fiercer than that of a wolf. His eyes were keen and his carriage more than manly—it was lordly. This man was Private Fagin, Twen- |ty-fourth Infantry, deserter at large one time stationed at Tayug, P. I. When Negro soldiers who had so Yaliantly fought in Cuba were sent to the Philippines, some of the com- manding and subordinate officers be- coming so inconsiderate of their charges, that even the rights of sol- diers as United States subjects were apparently forgotten. Fagin claimed that he was so per- secuted by his superiors that life to him became all but unbearable. So, after his prayers had failed to move his superiors, Fagin sent a note to his: commanding officer, informing him that he (Fagin) could not obtain the rights in the Philippines that he had become accustomed to in the United States, and that he would join the na- tive forces, And that as long as his breath was in his body he would make life miserable for that portion of the United States Army in which he came in contact. Accordingly, Fagin took the field on his own account and joined heart and hand with the Filipinos. Many were the encounters with the dreaded Fagin band—but who ever heard of Fagin being captured or who ever heard of him becoming the vic- tim of his enemies? He displayed the genius of Na- poleon and the tact of Touissaint. He was not a scholar nor was he very ambitious, but he was only a” Negro playing the last part in the last war of one of the newest nations of the world. It is even declared by soldiers that Fagin, by his actions, brought not only immediate reforms in the military sta- tions occupied by Negro soldiers, but aused a general advancement along the line of military discipline in the Far East. As he came abreast of me I recos- nized his sarcastic smile, ‘The recog- nition was mutual. And as he turned out of line of march he greeted me: “Why are you not in line?” I moved forward to catch step with the “March of the Brave,” but as I did so I tumbled forward from the ham- mock to the tall blue grass whieh grew at my feet. So 1 sat up saying: “Did the Negro play a part in the wars of the world?” ‘And as an echo from the beginning of time came the voice of my guide saying: | “My name is ‘History of Time.’ Ask me.” Now I assure you that the deeds ac- credited to the Negro soldiers in the wars of the world, which same are enumerated above, are provable, histo rieal facts, presented to you upon a field of allegory. ‘And in conclusion: But, yet, should T concuude? Why should I dare conclude, whilst history is still busy in its making and time moveth onward? 1 will not con- elude, but in the name of Olivet Stand- ard Literary Society, with you gen- tlemanly judges, and with you gentle hearers, we rest.

So many men spoil big deeds vy sundry, acts of littleness. False leadership is foreordained to failure. Remember this great truth. ‘The National Negro Press Associa- tion is growing in strength day by day. The far-seeing Negro stands by his friends wherever he is Incky enough to find them. It is asserted that President Wil- ‘son and his cabinet are having diffi culty in locating. Settaes aly ot theta “leaves of Vallambrosa,” despite the high cost of living. Handsome women never wear hat- pins with the points protruding be- yond the safety line. It is very satisfying to some selfish officeholders to feel that they may not be succeeded by a Negro. With a $10,000 clock in a conspicu- ons place, Father Time is having a big “lookin” at Tuskegee Institute. Jacksonville, Florida, will make a herenlean fight to entertain the Na- tional Negro Business League in 1915. ‘The plain people want a “free mar- ket basket.” and the party that guar- antees it will make a hit with all of us. i Wise men are never slaves to pre- cedents. It is the pioneer that makes history and blazes the pathway to real progress. ‘ “Ty” Cobb 1s the spoilt child of ma- jor league baseball. Nobody of our race cares if he loses out while play- ing the baby act. No one party embraces all_of the friends of the black man. No one ‘party contains all of his enemies, What's the answer? | Bishop Walters is the most lied about statesman in public life today Nevertheless, the prevaricators on the “bleachers” have been unable to rat- tle him, A number of meddlesome Washing: ton correspondents will be awfully dis- appointed if President Wilson — does give the Negro Democrats a few juicy official plums. ‘The Dallas Express tells of the pres- ence there of Charles P. Edwards, who it says is the only colored man in this country licensed to start a horse race. “Alphabetically speaking, as well as for many other reasons,” says a mem. ber of the faculty of Tuskegee Insti. tute, “Alabama is the first state in the Union.” If President Wilson wants a man of “Cabinet size” for the ambassador. ship to Great Britain, what is the matter with the courtly and scholarly Richard Theodore Greener, of Chica: 0? It develops that the killing of a Ne- gro is rated as a crime in Alabama. A few days ago two white men were actu ally hung by the law for putting a black man to death. This is “Prog. ress” with a capital P. The Saturday Evening Tribune, pub- lished at Muscogee, Okla., by that “un- terrified Democrat,” S. Douglass Rus. sell, predicts the nomination and elec- tion of William Jennings Bryan as president of the United States in 1916. It is asserted that President Wilson is having difficulty in finding the “right men” for the offices at his dis- posal. There are those who believe that Mr. Wilson is not looking in the right direction, from their own point of view, mind you. Dr. James F. Bourne has won in his contest for a seat on the Board of Education in Atlantic City, N. J. The position carries much honor, and,” in- cidentally, not a little troubie, as the eminent physician will find ‘out be fore his time expires. ‘The Commercial Club, of Muscogee, Okia,, Is already in the field, livening up the colored citizens of Oklahoma, and getting things in shape to give the National Negro Business League the time of its lime in 1914, when the lat- ter expects to meet there. loons are closed up. Verily, the way of the transgressor is hard/ Tyler, Tex., Atlanta, Ga., Lake City, N. C., and other lynching centers are asked to make note of the horrible example thus made. see ‘The Broadway, New York, has intro. duced a five-cent meal, which is said to be a success. It consists of oat meal, baked beans, soup, crullers, 3 pint ‘of coffee and bread. If this can be pulled of in all of our cities, a decided crimp ought to be put into the high cost of living, | Dr. George C. Clement, the able ed itor of the Star of Zion, is considered a leader in the race for appointment as register of the treasury, should a change be decided upon in the near future. Dr, Clement is a consistent Democrat, having supported Mr. Bry. an in 1908 and Mr. Wilson in 1912 in ‘a most effective manner. When a bald-headed man attempts to hit a fly that Insists npon landing on his pate, he usually hits himselt ‘on the head and misses the fly. Grow- ing in wisdom by and by, he lets the fly alone and the pest soon seeks some other head to annoy. Moral: A man lous injures: imme ied be takes ere tester ae John A. Echols, who has been em. ployed as_a butcher for Armour & Company for the past eight years at Fort Worth, Texas, has been ‘appoint ‘ed by the government as a meat in- spector of the Bureau of Animal In. dustry, and stationed at Fort Worth. ‘The colored man who knows the tech: ‘nical side of life cannot be crowded ‘out of the game. | Judge M. W. Gibbs, the race's ‘grad old man, who recently reached his ninetieth milestone, received thou sands of telegrams, letters, souvenir cards and other remembrances in com: plimentary acknowledgment of his birth anniversary. Judge Gibbs is one of the wealthiest colored men in the country, and has given lberally to the churches, schools, Y. M. 8. Cs and various uplifting agencies of our people. i Dr, Booker T. Washington is not “in polities.” but there is nothing to keep the President from asking the opinion of Citizen Washington when he wants advice touching the many sided race question. It is the general belief that the views of the “Wizard of Tuskegee” will carry great weight with the ad. ministration. It is believed they will he sought before a definite policy with reference to the Negro is adopted by President Wilson. “Ragtime,” generally regarded as the Negro’s particular preserves, was used to open the new session of the British Parliament in London. “Alex- ander's Ragtime Band,” “Hitchy-Koo," and “Waiting for the Robert E, Lee,” were some of the airs that caught the crowd, and also which got the goat of the anti-Negro element of the “dicties.” Into every phase of life, national and international. the Ne gro manages to figure somehow. Now that the “waters” have _ be. come quiet, it may not be ont of place to observe that titles, like uniforms and fulldress suits, are to be worn on certain oceasions. "In reporting a for mal social. function, where individ. uals-appear largely by virtue of thelr rank in the official or professional world, it is eminently fitting and prop er to use the designations to which they may be justly entitled. A glance at the society columns of the Teadins dailies will bear out this statement, Emmett J. Scott, Joseph Wiley. Charles Banks and’ W. D.. Neighbors are directors of the American Bank which was recently opened at Chicago to float colored finance. The institu tion gives evidence of lasting quality. and has a strong following already among the substantial business peo ple of the Windy City. Tt has a cap Ital_stock of $800,000 and a surplus of $50,000. Ample quarters are occn pied at Sist and State streets, in the heart of the best Negro business quar ter of Chicago. R. C. Houston, Jr.. well known ir business league ‘circies, is now gen eral manager of the Fraternal Under taking and Livery Company recentls organized at Fort Worth, Texas.

It was staged under the direction of Walter J. Posey. Mrs. Walter Posey as Mrs. Busby gives a pink tea and wishes she hadn't, for Mr. Busby (Mr. Walter Posey), otherwise known as Bob, makes his debut, and then the fun begins. Miss Georgia E.

The figures of the first count were Jackson, 9,050; Ostrum, 9,498, and Ashton, 9,565. The recount: Jackson, 10,166; Ostrum, 9,- 566, and Ashton, 9,602. Major Jack- son ig well known in lodge circles. He ig a leading member of the Knights of ee and an official in the Eighth is regiment, Tt is given out from Washington that President Wilson will close fed- eral offices to the race, Here is what is seen in print: “President Wilson has turned his back on the brother in black and has diplomatically closed the political door of hope against him. It already has become eyident that the offices under the federal govern- ment that were formerly held by col- cored men are likely to be given to white’ men.” Don't rush the President. ‘The colored brother is way down the list. White office seekers, topnotch men, hunting for topnotch offices, have as much as they can do to get @ hearing. In fact, Mr. Wilson con- siders office giving merely an incident to the business of being President. Information comes from Springfield, ML, that William T. Scott, the only Negro ever nominated for President of the United States, is now on the payroll of one of the legislative houses of that state as janitor. Scott was nominated by a properly constituted national convention, representing thirty-seven states of ‘the Union. The party was called the National Liberty party. Its purpose mainly was to ert phasize the rights of the Negroes. The 400 delegates met at St. Louis in 1904, Among the candidates were J, Milton Turner, Bishop Alexander Walters and J. M. Mitchell, of Tennessee. Seott ‘was nominated over the distinguished trio. It is needless to say there was nothing doing what he was thinking about on election day. ‘The National Negro Press Associa- tion will meet at Cape May, New Jer- sey, August 18th. The convention will be the guest of Mr. E, W. Dale, the proprietor of the Hotel Dale. Among those expected at this preliminary meeting are President R, W. Thomp- gon, Secretary H. A. Boyd, Chairman B, B, Dodson, T. Thomas Fortune, J. H, Anderson, Dr. R. R. Wright, J Farry Lightfoot, James W. Poe, A. P. Caldwell, D. H. Murphy and others. ‘The association is growing more use- ful yearly, as it should be. There is a real work to do, even more than the association has yet attempted. A unanimity of views on the greater ac- tivities of the race would be helpful. How to reduce prejudice will always be a living theme. Concerted action along that line, conservative activity, will also be helpful. It is not too much to expect of the association. Illinois bas what is called a strong civil rights law. Just the same they know how to evade it in Chicago, as it is done elsewhere. Abbie Miteh- ell, the well-known singer, was recent. ly refused a seat at the Majestic the- ater in that city. The leading colored citizens are very indignant. They advised Miss Mitchell to seek the court for redress. The outcome can- not be known at this time, but more than likely the courts will have all they can do if all the possible cases of the kind succeed in reaching them. Chicago colored people have prided themselves as being immune from dis- crimination and not without some show of reason since freedom to come and go as one chooses is so general. But there are snags in Chicago as there are everywhere, Perhaps it is not right to expect to enter every door that can open, yet places of general amusement should have doors that swing open to all. DR. DUBOIS IN INDIANAPOLIS. Dr. W. B. DuBois, who spoke in this city last Week, under the auspices of the Woman's club, said many helpful things. He insisted that the race should not sit idle and permit preju- dice to grow. He said, in speaking of the organization he represented: “The purpose of our organization is to see to it that race prejudice does not grow unchallenged. ‘The thing the colored people have to fear is that they themselves acquiesce in the white man’s rating. Race prejudice and race hatred rest on a flimsy foun- dation and are contrary to the genius of the times. We must make the United States understand that we are part of the problem of social democ- racy.” Dr, DuBois called attention to a number of unsatisfactory phases. in the economic life of the Negro race. He spoke of the difference between the wages paid for the labor of white men and colored men. In this respect he makes out a good case against those who have the situation in hand. ‘This is not quite so plain when he says the colored people are forced to buy and live in property in neighbor- hoods where property values are go: ing down and where improvements are difficult to obtain. True enough, the tendency is and has been as stat- ed. ‘The truth, however, is but half stated, The race is largely to blame for making good the white people's opinion that it was not fitted to live as it found the white people living— ingood houses, well surrounded. It has taken fifty years to teach the thing of well-kept premises, and still it is not any too well learned. This may be a disagreeable truth, but tt is, nevertheless, a truth. It will take ‘many more years for the race as a ‘whole to get to the point where there ‘will be no sign of difference between the homes of white people and the ‘homes of colored people. ‘The remedy here is not beyond the race, nor has it ever been. It is and has been a mat- ter of education. In the most part we have preferred to spend our money on things that helped out the personal appearance. We are still doing so. We feel to concede those who eriticize, this much, and we tender it in the interest. of the truth, having in mind the hope that it will do good. Dr. DuBois will do as much good by reading his own race a lecture as he will by reading the white people a lecture. This prop- osition will not be disputed, that the Negroes have helped in making antt- Negro sentiment, owing to their poor- ly-kept premises, regardless of their ability to do otherwise. In the main, what the speaker had to say can be commended. Nor has he misrepresented conditions. He, however, is not willing to see the two sides of a question at all times. This, of course, is an ideal position to take; standing for the equality of the individual regardless of condi- tions, race, color and s0 forth. But in view of what we know, fdealism must grow out of realism. in other words, there is something also for us to do. CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS OF NEW YORK. Now if New York will manage to live up to its beautiful new set of civil rights laws that community will be all right, as it concerns the equali- ty of citizenship. The bill is known ag the Levy Dill, the author, presuma- bly, is a Hebrew, It ts said that the diserimination on the Jews in and around New York inspired the meas- ure. ‘The Negroes are rejoicing because they get in on the deal, theoretically at least, Just how they will fare re- mains to be seen. As it concerns the Jews, the bill removes their “disa- bilities, which, by the way, were not very much inthe first place. A few high-class hotels and similar places barred them, which fact amounted to seareely mote than a theoretical dis- crimination, Practically, they were ad- mitted to all places in New York as they are here and elsewhere. How- ever, what little discrimination exist- ed was sufficient for a cause and as is seen, has been fought down by those people. A little discrimination as a thing of principle is as bad as a great deal of discrimination to those who would be wholly free. A self-respect: ing people in all that the term means will not, cannot rest quietly under unjust restraints. ‘The Negroes do not fare nearly so well as the Jews in the matter of lib- erties, If they did their condition, as they conceive it, we dare say, would be fairly ideal. ‘The New York civil rights laws answer the demand of the spirit in which the country was con- ceived. They are a bit ideal for prac- tical dealings with our people, who have not got enough sympathy in their favor to guarantee the ends, in all cases, which the legislators had in mind. ‘They, the legislators, have done their whole duty and consequent- ly deserve the utmost respect of the Negro race. But what is needed is a strong sentiment amoung the “laity” —the people out of office. The laws can do something, but they cannot compel sentiment. If we are to grow so as to benefit more largely through the laws we will have to manage to create more favorable sentiment. ‘As to the bill, it, in its amended form provides that no person who is the owner, lessee or manager of a place of public accommodation, re- sort or amusement shall deny any person accommodations, or publish, circulate, display or post or mail find printed communication or ad: vertisement to the effect that any of the accommodations or privileges of THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. any such place shall be refused or de- nied to any person on account of race, creed or color, or that such persons ate unwelcome. The production of such notice is presumptive evidence in any civil or criminal action that this notice was authorized. ‘A place of public accommodation, re- sort or amusement within the mean- ing of this article, the bill continues, shall be deemed to include jn, tay- ern or hotel, whether cohducted for the entertainment of transient guests or for the accommodation of those seeking health, recreation or rest, and any restaurant, eating house, public conveyance on’ land or water, bath- house, barber shop, teater and mu- sic hall. . ‘Any person violating this section whether or not reasons for denying such rights of accommodations are ap- plicable alike to all citizens of every race, creed or color, shall be liable to a penalty of not less than $100, nor more than $500, to be recovered by the person agerieved and in addition shall be deemed guilty of a misde- meanor punishable by a fine of not less than $100, nor more than $500, or by imprisonment for not less than 30 days, or more than 90 days, or by both fine and imprisonment. It will be noted that we are not as enthusiastic over the bill as we might be. It apparently is all that could be expected, yet the most hopeful of us will not grow too sanguine, owing to what we all know, Study its contents, then apply them’ to conditions, then what? Nevertheless, we are profound- ly thankful that a few white men so loved their country, its peace, pros- perity and reputation, that they for- Sook their prejudices. We take it that the circle of justice will widen until every man feels to concede every other man what he feels to be ‘due himself. KENTUCKY’S CAPITAL! ‘Mrs, . J.

Many said that they would return to find out what they laugh at, and that boys deserve a lot of credit for producing a lot of humor that is original, and before one they laugh at.

Chicago, Ill., April 29, 1913. Special to THE FREEMAN: The Grand. Pilder and Shelton, two Indianapolis houses were made good ware were at the building on Monday. Just how well they are still applauded was evidenced by the loud and continuous applause received both at the first and second floor. equal on the stage as an imitator of the Chinese people. He is simply immense. He is also gentle, laugh provoker, Mr. Shelton shines on the latest songs direct from New York. He is a master of the instrument. They have a real classy act and they represent the best of the race on the stage. No cork, no glue, no tape. They welcome the work of a legitimate nature. The patrons of the Grand, the majority been colored by the linen welcome own. They were to linen their own. They held their reputation, O. C. Falls in European entertainment made a splendid hit. The Dent Count' were very clever. Morris and Beasley entertained with the Manicure Shop and the bill was closed with a kiss. Nelson-trope that was a scorcher. The Monogram. Miss Llizzie Wallace and Miss Cora Green were the hits of the Monogram this way. "In My Hamer," it was the most oriental dancing seen at this theater for the first time, "Glide and 'Oh so sweet,' Wallace's diamonds, beautiful wardrobe and artistic dancing and the admirable singing of Pugh and Green, brought forth a great deal of applause. The Windy City trio gushed and groaned at the evening. The big song was "Floating Down the River." During the act, they get off some amusing jokes and close up the dance, rendered nicely by Mr. Charles Burton. Sadie Crockett opens the bill, singing and dancing the music of that "Jacksonville Dragg," Mr. Woods, the ventriloquist, was a hold over. He kept the audience entertained. He was a member of booking. Good show, big crowds. The Stroll The sun being out this week, the Stroll has been wide awake, the dolls stroll with new gowns and hats. Able Mitchell has been the star of the show, this time and in the later evening, was beard wearing, and has a bad throat, suffering with a cold, has taken a leave of absence for a month. Cabatets are all the go in Chicago. The Oasis on Monday, Pompel on Tuesday, El Monroe on Thursday, El Emmow on Thursday, Savoy on Friday on Saturday. The Oasis among the fathers of cabaret mattresses on the south side. Monroe, second baseman on the American Giants, and Lindsey, the famous pitcher, were among the strollers on Monroe, three entertained by friends at the Oasis. Eddie Gray has two songs due out this week: "Want a Little Loving for You" and "That's How I Love You." He has been a star of the Chicago musical Bureau. Miss Bessie La Belle is at Denver. She went there to see a sister that was ill, and wrote that she likes the west very much. The Cabaret singers who have been on a leaf of absence for several weeks will go to work this week. Mr. William Dorsey has been offered the leadership of the orchestra at the new theater at 25th and State streets. Mr. Tank is owner and manager. Misses Mabie and Babe Brown left Misses Mabie and Babe Brown left engagement. While here Miss Mabie was the guest of Mrs. Goldie Crosby Perrin and Miss Babe stopped with her engagement. While here Miss Mabie have been featuring "Senior" and the "Robert E. Lee" with great success. They started together July 22 of last year and have been showing in Philadelphia, Cincinnati, New York, Chicago, Louisville and other large cities. "Babe had the misfortune to be in the orchestra when she was a cold but she is much better and able to sing "Certainly Looks Good to Me" with great success. They have a clever act and up-to-date costumes. The Chicago Musical Bureau secured Mr. Felix Fowler for Mr. R. C. Adams in a recital recently. It is operated by Messrs. Kelly and Dorsey. Mr. Tobe Brown of the Grand Orchestra, has been suffering with rheumatism and has been reported to Dave Peyton is reported much better. The new theater 35th and State streets will have second run pictures and three vaudeville acts. Brooks and Brookes are at the Family theater, Indianapolis, Ind..

Williams and Stevens handed over another one of those garrisons. terion orchestra, certainly an entertainment. Elite Entertainers The Elite entertainers are Misses Carolynne Boyle and Alice Moore and Mr. Will Divers. They are featuring such songs as "The Wedding Day," "When I Lost You," "Here Comes My Dary," "In My Harem," "Good Bye Boys," and "All That All That." And all the musicians in the orchestra are Will Taylor, piano; Oliver Perry, violin; and Charles Gillum, who has just received a set of clines and has been given musical instruments of any one along the "stroll." It is a pleasure to hear the orchestra at the Elite operated by the well known Messrs. Jodofo and Jones. Mr. "Tenny" Blount, who is doing the stroll for 10 few days this week, left for London to play when his will return by Friday and is scheduled to have a little "joy" with a few of his friends. His many friends were glad to see him. The team of Wallace and Green at the Monogram made such a hit that news media reported that big offers have been tendered them. AT THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER. Tim E. Owsly, Prop. The bill at the Crown Garden Theater this week is good from top to bottom. The show, which will be to as the wizard, is proving his theatrical genius. The patrons are getting their money's worth and promise to keep the house well filled from now on. Chas. Nickerson, the "Original." Chas. Nickerson, known as "Nic," gave his money to the band as work as a monologue. He is a Cleveland, Ohio, favorite, formerly a member of Frank Montgomery's company of Dixie players. He opens with his own song, "The Wizard," and pushes over in a droll way, making a hit. In fact, he writes all of the songs he uses, and for each he deserves praise, since those songs are more than a boy. He puts on his mono- Mpo CHAS. NICKERSON, THE "ORIGINAL." logue in a droll way also, making it very entertaining. He puts it out straight, and he makes it sound like he stuffs his stuff. His "Hymn Singing Hille" is particularly taking. He carries his audience's attention with his voice. "Would a Bear," which leaves them applauding. The young fellow will be heard laughing. Minor and Minor. This team is not new to Indianapolis nor new to the business. Minor and Minor have been playing with success for several years. They work, knowing what to put out to please. They enter with a dashing song with suitable steps. This is followed by a rapid turn to the stage, good straight for Mr. Minor's comedy. She's a good feeder. He works in some good ones that show his cleverness as a comedian, but she wins rather than the ordinary humor. The audience saw it that way and gave "hearty" hearts at the right places. Miss Browne is in keeping with the fine sentiment and beautiful lyric. Her voice is one of the most pleasing heard in the Crown Garden. Her scores big. The burden of his law that he will manage to raise his own business doesn't do it funny. His right is eleven team closes with a "red hot" finish, leaving the stage mid a storm of applause. Miller and Bigeon. A pretty classy team, is the first impression of Miller and Bigeon. Nor does one remember the two members we good performers. They were formerly members of John Rucker's Musical Comedy Company at New Orleans, and they were the straight man and producer; their first number is done in brilliant style. They sing "Uncle Doe," taking it off with good grace, and "Rose" with a sweet voice that she uses to advantage. Here again was a pure romance, but in a more mature Garden audience. Her stage manner is pleasing as well as her pretty costumes. Miller does an old Negro man turn—singing and dancing, but is rather a composite of both, particularly from nowhere. In a contest with more mature old man would go the prize. Miss Bigeon is not too much praised for her rendition of "Robert E. Lee." It will be difficult to imagine a man with limbs, and when she sails about, and singing all the time, she's good to see. Their closing "Texas Tommy" is a splendid performance as well as it is done at the big theaters. Jones and Liston. By The Owl. Lincoln Theater. Frank Burt, "The Rube," said to be one of his stars. His juggling and tricki playing were new and he went big. He also played with the other also very good. Williams and stevens, in another one of their own acts, kept the audience entertained. The two Muses, went big. He is a bass singer who stands out. His tones are so good, he can sing his dancing girls were another big feature, the one doing comedy is very good. He played with her girls old a single and went far- ly well. Williams and Stevens handed over another one of those screams. Juniper and Chadman, who had just closed the door, came next. This is a new team in New York. Opened at the Lincoln theater and went like a scream. Johnson and Chadman, these favorites here and received a hearty welcome on their opening. Manager Elmore was very much pleased with how, as it was good from start to finish. Crescent Theater. Emmett Anthony and his stock company is the big noise at the Crescent. He is the owner of "Jack Johnson's Statue," which was very good. The Crampton Truck did nice work, and the nett did very well. The last half Emmett Anthony and his stock company is the owner of the house in laughter from start to finish. Chadwick went big. The Andersons, in their musical act, went big. The act is funny. The act is funny, acts funny, and he really is funny. Lafayette Theater Mr. Jesse A. Shipp offered the Lafayette players a playoff berth, entitled "A Trip to Jamaica," which was good. Sims and Thompson, character comedians, were great and the act went well. The Lafayette players acted, did very well. Miss Golden laffey a very clever woman and went great. The Lafayette players' deference seemed to be carried away with it. The last half, Prof. H. Armand rejoiced. The Lafayette Players in "A Trip to Jamaica" was played all week, and went great. Bailley and Bailley act good, Joe Bailley and Joe Bailley pany in the "Bum Garden's Divorce." Franklin Theater. The Texas Tommy Four was the big noise at this theater and we must add to that list the colored acts before the public today. They sing, dance, talk, skip, jump and run, what more would one want of a show that was famous operatic basso, was somewhat of a drawing card at the Franklin last week. Mr. Richards has a voice that is both powerful and controls and handles it with so much ease. Hascomb and Vernum went good, and the score was excellent. Martin went great. The rest of the acts, we are told, were good. Family Theater Black Carl's big act opened the show Fleming and Allen went big. The Brinklews got by nicely. The Dancing Dam good. Gains and Hamilton went big. Pioneer Theater. The Andersons, in their musical act, scored big, Carry Stitch went very well, Dawn and Hanson scored heavily. Nelson and Webster came next, then Totton and Lee. This is some act. The Clarks left for Sioux City, Ia. Send regards to all. Fleming and Allen opened for the last half at the Bonton, in Jersey City. The boys have a clever act. Juneper and Chadmon left last Monday to open at Philadelphia at the Circle theater. These boys have the goods and will be a big card there. Mr. S. H. Dudley, of the Smart Set Company, and a few of his members spent last Sunday in the city, visiting friends. Holliday and Vaughner and company report business good in and around Bos- ton. James B. Robison, of the Robison Trio will open a new hotel at Carrannah, Y. There will be cabaret and dancing. Miss Bessie Howell, the well-known souret, is spending a few weeks at Providence, R. L., with relatives. The Grand Army Four are scoring a big success at the Columbia theater, Brooklyn. The Invincible Four are creating a big impression throughout Canada. The Ten Dark Knights will close their season May 3. Lounie Lomers has a new act, called the Gum Drops Trio, with new costumes and songs. Robison and Brooks are now on the Western Managers' Vaudeville Association time, and are making a big hit. Alex Rogers, the veteran manager and former, opened the Standard theater, in Philadelphia, last week and presented a bill of rare excellence that was greeted by a large and appreciative audience. Mrs. Catharine Simmons, of Brooklyn, is busy writing a play on the Nogreau play, which will be produced some time in the future. R. H. Thompson's torsional parlorers are open to the colored profession at 110 Rochester avenue, Brooklyn, where first-class work is guaranteed. Billy Ward's Funny Folks minis剧lets you open at Ossenberg, N. Y. From there reports of the press, the show is a scream from start to finish. They are also playing to crowded houses. Beware of Neer Moorman, who in the past was a vocalist as a blind, is in and around New York and Brooklyn, getting money on false pretenses. Performers and managers be on guard. John Phillip, the baritone with the pati show, is scoring a big success hit of his career last week in Newark, N. J., when he introduced the song hits "boddy, Boys," and "When I Lost You." WASHINGTON, D. C., THEATERS. Blue Mouse Theater. The Mississippi Trio played their second week here with Tom Delaney still in the leading role. Mr. Delaney's song, "I Am a Scottish Coon," was good. The song was in song and dance, especially singing and dancing "Way Down in Georgia." S. H. Dudley Theater. Lew Henry put over another good bill to large crowds nightly. The bill opened with a single, by the arous Seminoles who continued their success which has been theirs ever since they have played here. They are now in their fifth week at Washington and run of good pictures closes the show. Chelsea Theater. Opened with a remarkable picture "Shylock," in two reels, followed quickly with the barton's voice. Though she was a little hoarse she managed to get by nicely. Miss Eva Dangerfield in her dress, still wearing a nightly. Still neither act would make good on big time, as only the popularity of the house saved both acts. After the large crowds that attended the show heard to marmur "J Should Worry." Fairyland Theater. Mr. Frank Kearney, the prince of managers, was a man of words that attended his house. The show opened with Gus Simmons, in the comedy skeleton, followed by Watta and Turner, a great comedy team that cleanse, entertain, and average, while the male member is very good, being one of the funniest comedians playing here in sometime. His KANSAS CITY, MO., THEATER NEWS. The Criterion theater is doing a wonderful business. It is the largest airline of any one thousand, and is packed every performance.

K. of P.'s Annual Rogation—Baptists for $25,000—Story Telling Compass By S. G. Taylor. The Knights of Pythias had their annual roation Sunday at Chestnut street near Pride Lodge No. 30, the parade leavening their hall at 2 o'clock, headed by the national bass band, playing the national airs. First they wore O, in their white uniforms, then the form rank, first Captain Crutcher with the national bass band, Ashford with Battle Axe Company with Colonel Lyles in full regalia, also his nut street to the church.

Burges, of Klarakanzor Mich., will soon be in the city to place a marble tombstone over the grave of his mother Burges, one of Louisville's halls and his wife. With an endorsement by the Baptist Ministers' Conference and the Baptist Institute, both of which are composed entirely of white people, the officers of the State University have begun a state-wide campaign to pay $25,000 to expand the work of the institution and thoroughly modernize it. Also, the campaign is $1,000 from any women in Louisville, and efforts are being made to raise at least $5,000 of the amount by May 15, the date of the annual commencement address at the university.

Mr. John Boulder after having been employed for an number of years as a car mechanic, he has signed that position to take full charge of his new restaurant, which is located on Cedar street, between Eighth and Wimbledon streets. All former associates wish him well. Lives were endangered, property was damaged to the extent of several thousand dollars, and many people were without water for hours as during the flood. The cause was the bursting of a pipe that broke near Eighth and Oak streets. Cellars were flooded and great excitement was felt among the children. Thousands of people flocked to the scene of the accident. A cry went up when two colored boys fell into the water, them, but they were able to swim out. The story telling contest given by Prof. Cotter, principal of the Colridge Taylor school, for colored children, was held at the children’s library. Prof. Cotter ha dffered five dollars to be distributed as prizes among the children, and it was distributed among eight bright boys and girls. Arthur Duvalle received first prize, and Arthur Pursue and everyone present enjoyed the fun. The contest will be repeated next year.

Cross, with Walter L. Rector producing the shows. We have no Bert Williams nor Alida Overton Walker, and are not giving any "Red Moon" shows, but have just a nice stock company giving clean shows that are pleasing the patrons. Howard and Mason, after being a decided hit at the Howard Theater in Washington, D. C., last week, were immediately engaged to open the new Hippodrome Theater, Richmond, Va., by Manager Coulter, and they were the hit of the bill. After the first performance Mr. Coulter engaged them for the second week. They are seen in an English act written by Mr. Garland Howard, of the Howard, of whom he positively the pressed act ever before. Four changes in the act. Other acts on the bill were the Griffin Sisters, Peat and Hayes and the Claybrooks. Mr. Robert Severy and Mr. Willard Lacy, write us. DOUGLASS THEATER. MACON, GA.

OKLAHOMA. (By Allen G. Bowles.) President Page has gone to Tulsa, Okla., where the State Farmers' Convention is in session. Every Negro in Oklahoma feels proud of the liberal appropriation for the C. A. and N. University, located at Langston. The appropriation carried $108,000, of that amount $77,000 is run to the school the next two years and $31,000 for repairs and enlargement. Rev. Howell of Omaha, Neb., was a visitor here last week and preached two able sermons at the First Baptist church. He also lectured to the student body at the University. Rev. Howell is an old friend of President Page. The cantata "Silva," given in the Auditorium Friday night under the direction of Mrs. Z. R. Braux, who is head of the department of instrumental music, is a credit to the participants. There were thirty well trained voices, accompanied by the orchestra. See Bowles for the Freeman every week. RABBIT'S FOOT COMPANY. While in Huntsville, Ala., April 17, the Rabbit's Foot bandsmen met Prof. James Wilson. He entertained Geo. A. Williams and Walter Lee. Prof. Wilson is a cornetist connected with the faculty of a progressive institution known as the Agricultural and Mechanical College, which is in Normal, Ala. He is instructor in music and the grand work he is accomplishing is deserving of praise and worthy of much credit. He should be, and will be, among the leaders of the race, as he is talented, experienced, skilled and a real artist. Frank Tausell is the coming funny blackface. Charles Miller, known as "Mush Mouth," is a hit, singing "Soft Black." T. H. Dumas is a comedian who knows how to open a show. His song hit is "Satisfied." The Lockharts have an act that will equal any sketch team. Mrs. Lockhart in characters is fast improving, and in a few more weeks will be a Miss Cora Forshall's equal. The company gave its performance while in Chattanooga, in the Lyric Theater, to a packed house, leaving a recognized record. When you wake up the people of Chattanooga you will scream them in Hammersstein's—and we did it. THE AUDITORIUM THEATER, PHILADELPHIA. Despite the fact that opposition is exploited all around the Auditorium, the business has increased to that extent that the management was forced to give daily matinees, so that all of the patrons could get a glimpse of the show. Spontaneous fun apparently had its way in several of the acts presented this week, which fact was the reason for the extra ginger. There is nothing like making an audience happy. Under this deserving class come Montgomery and McClain in "The Making of an Actor." The skit is real funny and produces gales of laughter. Tim and Hester Moore are prime favorites and display great skill in singing and dancing, which makes them a feature number. Evon Robinson's Trio returned with an entire new make-up, singing new songs by new, popular writers, which caught an at once. The Hillmans had a very pleasant singing act, and our own Chicken Jones and Ethel Cole got merited applause for their decidedly clever dancing act. They are a happy mixture of ingredients. New motion pictures every day. MAJESTIC THEATER, COLUMBUS MO. Thornton and Registers opened at the Majestic theater, Columbia, Mo., but they could not open on the night before they sought out not having been carefully sought for by ticket agents, and opened on Tuesday night to a crowded house and an appreciative audience. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. attended the show at the Booker Washington theater. St. Louis, Mo., that they invited the musicians and performers out after the show for the audience. The party left the theater in a big White steamer automobile and visited the most select resorts in St. Lo兰. such as the Grand Hotel, where evening was most enjoyable. Mr. and Mrs. Turpin do not do this very often if ever with the performers. Mr. Turpin is a gentleman, and Mr. Turpin is a Little Venus and Charles Nickerson had the honor of being out with them for a jolly, good time. Mrs. Turpin took very kindly to Miss Registers, also Little and commented them highly on their art. J. M. BUSBY MINSTREL. BAILEY'S AIR DOME, PARIS, TEX. (By Clever Billy Young.) Clever Billy Young concluded not to take the management of the Air Dome at Oak Ridge with O. E. H. McDaniel, the famous southern comedian, producer and scenic artist, and organized a vaudeville and twelve people in the company twelve people. We opened a studio in Paris. We opened an indefinite run at Bailey's Air Dome. This place is one of the finest colored air domes in the country and managed and maintained the high school here: capacity, 2,500; electric lighted throughout; stage and scenery set; and a large, well-stocked kitchen. Monday night, April 14, to an enthusiastic audience of 1,800 paid admissions, prices, 0, 15 and 25 cents. The show was held in the large, well-stocked English, and undoubtedly we have established ourselves prime favorites in the hearts of our audience. We grow bigger and better every night. We have a splendid company and plenty of changes. Our people conduct themselves with excellent deportment and are continually being entertained by some of the best people in Paris. Professor Bailey, while principal of the high school, gave a talk on the babe, good fellow, besties. Our company will be known as Young and Daniels Comedy and Dramatic Stock Company. Good friends my brothers and sisters of the profession. THE PASSING SHOW IN WASHINGTON (Bv R, W, T.) Miss Leona Marshall and Miss Eve Robinson have formed an act and will be seen on the local stage as soon as the details can be arranged. Lawrence Caldwell, the very capable musical director of the Howard theater, is planning to present "The Lady of Venice" at the close of his course to enter upon the practice of his new profession. Miss Herrietta Vinton Davis, who is about to inaugurate her tour of the South, is planning to present the big scenes from ischia and Ameliet, "Merchant of Venice" and "Othello," in such standard dramas as "The Lady of Leah," "Leah," "Desilasim" and "Christophe." Miss Nonie Bailey Hardy, the popular contratair, is resting here, preparatory to resuming her concert engagements. She made a decided hit in Jamaica last fall. Manager A. J. Thomas has been to perform over a bunch of "talent," and considering the advisability of putting on a season of "stock" at the Howard, in connection with a strong stock company, pressuring musical comedies and dramas of a high order, would "go big" with the progressive patrons of the Howard, who wish an immediate departure from straight van-deville shows. "Franee" Payne and Charles H. Green may again join hands and reopen the Foraker theater on Twentieth street. The Chelsea is having the most successful run of its career, packed houses nightly being the rule. The Howard theater and its patrons gave liberally to the fund for the flood sufferers. Frank Fowler Brown who headed a ten-week engagement with one of the Howard's has gone to New York City to open a ten weeks' engagement with one of the Howard's personal affairs continue to be managed by William S. Hennessey, Jr. of New York City. Mr. Brown is said to be considering an advantageous proposition, looking to his headline movie by strong geopolitical syndication. This play in Bedford, Vaccum recently the fourteen colored members of the "White Slave" company were roundly praised by the News-Leader as the best production from mediocrity, but referred to them several times as "digers." The idols in nomenclature certainly do leave THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. to hear colored people sing and to see them dance, as Dudley, Whitney, Kerwin and others from frequent appearance down in Dixieland. tured on the program. Harrison Emmanuel, who appeared on the program, is a young painter, of ceramic paintings, who such matters through the Prof. Terrell said Monday. He mastered a middle tone effect, whose art is fore the school board. I h A letter from Miss Lottie Gee, of the team of King and Gee, now at the New York Academy of Art, tells us the fact that there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Miss Gee had recently appeared on a stage. The fact that the rumor that Miss Gee had recently appeared on a stage, death probably gave rise to such a report was a female member of, "The White Slave" company, which was the time King and Gee were in the Academy. Miss Gee's host of friends in Washington will be delighted to know that she have been "cleaning up" on the Loews curtain, unabated success. Before leaving New York City, they appeared on the American Broadway, and the highest compliment that any "sister act" has received this season in the columns of this recognized authority is "swell dressers," have gotten together another brand-new wardrobe, which is said to have been the tunes of the new American Beauty shade, trimmed in white and silver. Miss Gee's change is blue and King Miss's is lavender, a floral tie, a in mode, Miss Gee wears a white hat, trimmed with four big white plumes, fur collar and cuffs, and all of the accessories to match. They are fond of Washburn engagement here soon. Our latest celebrity is always out for these clever artists. Miller & Lyles sail for Europe May 18 Frank B. Williams, of Williams and Brown, was entertained by the Amphion Glee Club during his recent engagement at the Amphion manton boy and was formerly principal tenor with the famous Amphion. The new scale of prices at the Howard, with reserved coupons for all of the green seats, is in force only on Monday and Tuesday. Under this system, a thoughtful patron can buy his seat in advance and avoid rush at the box office, as well as the discomfort of having to contend with the large scale. Under a decent "look-in", on all f the other nights the old scale of prices and limited reserve section are in vogue, an elite people are adjusting them. Thomas plan of handling the matter. The Griffin Sisters opened the new Hippodrome theater this week in Richmond, Va. The new house is a beauty and seats about 880. The Philadelphia House has some new cabaret features. The manager of the Fairyland theater is well liked by the profession generally. His accommodations are excellent, he treats all performers kindly, and pays good salaries to those who are CHICAGO SPECIAL REVIEW Felix Fowler Wier, a Great Violinist— The Dixie Chorus in "The Evolution of Negroo, Negroo, Oasis Music Hall: Emerson, Eirate Scott, Poet, Shows Signs of Genius. (By Sylvester Russel.) At a recital given at Bethel church Mr. Emery Elrige Scott, a new illustrious poet, twice-one and a native of Savannah, twentieth-century His work is not only genuine, but his education qualifies, and it will be safe to say he has a great gift. His work him as a second Dunbar vet undeveloped. He was reared under the tuition of a Christian widowed mother. I had a great interest in numbers. Although a trifle nervous, his elocation was good and his manner was not over serious or affected. Unconscious of the Parting, he was not an imitation, but an incident. Mr. Scott is not only over five feet high but perfect in stature, of a man of great eyes and a magnetic personality, but with a manner that is perfectly unaffected. He presented me in some of his poems, which I will review in some other writing. The Dixie Chorus, which opened for a week at Oakland Music Hall, presented "The Evolution of the Negro," which involved the epic of a generation of forty-five African slaves, and old time religious meetings, in preliminary scenes depicting the wilds of Africa, slavery romp and old time religious meetings, in preliminary scenes depicting the Negro in song classics. The star solos were Opel Cooper, Ed Goodman, George I. Conley, J. Louis Johnson, and Henry F. Cole, and Henry F. Cole, lee tured on the program. Harrison Emmuel, who appeared on the program, is a young violinist of considerable schooling, who has been more of learning than of instinct and whose style lacks that touch of nature which appeals to personal charm. His music is lively, lively, lively, and his childish method fails in agitate and lacks force of attack in forte and prestissimo. When he has overcome those defects, Mr. Emmuel will be a great teacher and instructor under the management of Ralph Punbar. The whirling of monstrosities in the show shops were simulated by a sudden outpouring of actor worshiping to hull the coming of Matt Marshall and Andrew Dough that have appeared on State street in many moons, and to add to the generosity of the occasion, the Harvey De Vora Dough that have appeared on State street in a little pecuniary actor, who is a singing and dancing wonder, drew crowds to the Grand Theater at every performer. Manager Duke Emmuel must the regulation of the crowd that are conducted, and George Smith, Jr., son of one of the proprietors, is most always pleasant, smiling to give information, and his manner is that of a thoroughbred. Harry Stafford, who appeared at the Monogram, is a pretty good young comedian. Mrs. Harrison, wife of Richard B. Dorssey, is a great singer and good friend in holding up the orchestra as pianist. Will Dorssey's wife and mother have been in for the past few days. Mr. Dorssey is now a teacher and the carabet music halls, and it would be a good season for any wise manager who runs a vaudeville house on the Stroll to the Dorssey and Kelpie musical studio is keeping the wolf from the door. The Orphans' Home benefit took place at the Washington Theater. Among the artists who appeared were Charles Young, Ernest Smith, Sonny Johnson, the Four and moving pictures. The home is said to be the management of Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett. The Elmwood carabet given by the Messrs. Russell and Dago last Thursday afternoon was a grand success and will be repeated. The concert orchestra at the Elite café nightly is superb. Messrs. Teenan Jones and Art Codozoe have provided a table d'hotte at 4 o'clock each afternoon. Gilliam "Chines of Twilight" is a nightly feature. Walter Carless has purchased the Crescent Barn. Benny Burrell is the popular manager. Special carabet matteness are given every week. It takes 2 p. m., when a free lunch is served. A Passion—Quest—Sequel. Yes, our hearts are switched apart, Bleeding like a silent river, Whispering as if heart to heart; "Some fair reason should deliver." We are tempted by fear and doubt, Sensitively proud and silly. And we'll soon be counted out; "Passion's roads are awfully hilly." Where the drooping willows bow Is to shade a passion sequel; But our paths are blighted now. For our blindness had no equal. KNIGHTS OF MISSOURI HIGHLY PROPEROUS Grand Lodge Finances in a Most Healthy Condition—Grand Chancellor Well Pleased with the Present Outlook—Meeting of Beneficiary Board Shows Marked Success.

Report has it that Jack Johnson is negotiating for an estate in Rutherford, N. J., and has put in a bid for a place in the heart of an ultra-fashionable residence section. Johnson refuses to say why he is the bidder, but he says that he has instructed attorneys to "go the limit" in bidding for the property. WELSH AND CROSS MAY MEET. NEW YORK.—Billy Gibson, of the Garden A. C., is trying to arrange a match for Freddie Welsh, English lightweight champion, with either Tommy Murphy or Willie Ritchie, Welsh's manager declared he had been unable to drag Leach Cross, Joe Rivers or Jack Britton into the ring with both players, but when Gibson started after Ritchie and Murphy. Either of these two will be given a good guarantee to meet the Englishman here. BURNS PROMOTING FIGHTS. CALGARY, Alta—An elimination contest to decide the welter, middle and heavyweight champions of the world's white fighters is to be held here, according to an announcement the other day by Tommy Burns, former heavyweight champion. According to Burns, the first bout will be held between McIntyre, of Canada, and Griffith, of Cincinnati, in the welterweight division, May 21. Jim Flynn, Luther McCarty and other fighters in the heavyweight class, as well as leaders of other classes, have accepted terms, according to Burns. JEANNETTE STOPS COTTON. Hoboken Fighter Makes His Man Quit in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA—In the semi-final to the Luther McCarty-Jim Flynn bout at the Olympia A. C. in Philadelphia Joe Jeannette, the Hoboken colored heavywweight, stopped George Cotton in the fourth round. Jeannette was decidedly clever and did fine work. Cotton tried to the body with his right. In the fourth round Cotton went down from a left to the jaw and he stayed for the full count. He could have gotten up, and it was a clear case of quit. RED DEVILS WON. French Lick Plutos Took Eight Out of Nine from West Baden Spruedels. French Lick, Ind. The French Lick Plutos (hard hitting Red Devils) have played nine games with the West Baden Sprudels, winning eight games in easy fashion and losing only one. In the nine games with the Sprudels the Plutos have annexed the grand total of 122 hits against the Sprudels' 77. The Plutos have undoubtedly one of the greatest ball clubs in the world, bar none, and their deportment on and off the field warrants the assertion. On Sunday, April 20, the Plutos met and easily defeated the West Baden rays, white, b the tyre toheavy score of 19 to 2, letting the palefaces down with only six hits, while the colored bows were hitting the ball to all corners of the lot for a total of sixteen safeties, including two home runs by Manager James Norman and pitcher James $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN.

The Plutos are a great drawing card at French Lick, as it is a treat to see the Red Devils lambast the ball, if nothing else. The Plutos leave the Springs June 15 for an invasion of the north and middle west, playing as far nort has North Dakota and as far south has New York state for thirty days, ending their engagements at New York, September 1, Labor day, then back to French Lick to close the Spring Valley league season with the Spruedels. PASTTIME THEATER. GUILD, TENNESSEE The bill has been an exceptionally good one since the return of our old favorites, Ray Miles and Slim Butler, who came back with a new act. Then came Arthur Williams and Ethe Brown, who went very big. Next came a very clever little contortionist, Scipio Peters, another act which went big. Massive kept the audience in an uproar with his ventrilouism and his funny sayings. Our pianist, Mr. Chas Hightower, is deserving of much credit it for the way he plays the shows, with a bunch of mirth and harmony. Ray Miles has the management of the house and wants to hear fro mall of his friends and all good acts can get indefinite time here. Last, but not least, is our trap drummer, Mr. W. M. Carter. JACK JOHNSON'S SMILE VAN ISHES. Uncle Sam's Torn When Big Negro Pays Fine of $1,740. CHICAGO—Uncle Sam had the big laugh yesterday and the open mouthed smile that once adorned the countenance of Jack Johnson, black pugilist, was missing. Johnson, after twenty-four hours' delay and some protest, paid into the federal treasury $1,740 fine and costs in the smuggling charge on which he was tried before Judge Carpenter. The big black flashed a check for $1,000, the amount of his fine, when he first appeared at the federal building. Seven hundred forty dollars omitted the clerk. "What for?" demanded the Negro the judge said only a thousand. "Costs," was the answer. Johnson tucked the check back in his pocket and told the clerk he was going to see if he couldn't compromise with the government. He finally came across. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE COLORED BASEBALLISTS? Reports Are Coming In Rather Slowly These Days. (By Billy Lewis.) The colored baseballlists are report very slowly this season it seems. Baseball, without doubt, is the national game, and becoming more popular each year. The new nationalism spoken of with some enthusiasm at times in politics and in civil affairs generally may also be doing effective duty in baseball affairs. The success and the popularity of the big games may be absorbing the public mind too completely, making less important the lesser clubs. This means that the big clubs are running at the expense of the little clubs, in interest and financially. This is merely a guess, and I hope a very bad one. The big white club games in the North are patronized well by the colored people. Of course, this means reduced attendance at the games by colored clubs. Reduced attendance means poor pay for the players, and consequently the players will not stick. This is unfortunate. It will be remedied only by an exhibition of unusual race pride, which, by the way, does not promise. The colored brother is more of a sport than the white brother—that is the proportion is larger. And I need not qualify if it; they go to it with more enthusiasm, regardless of the proportion. The South has no "open door policy"; the game ought to be on in a big way in that section. Baseball is the national game, and here to stay! It's a poor burg that does not have its enthusiasts. Every hamlet and village in the North has its club or clubs. The South is well strewn with hamlets and villages, but apparently the section is either indifferent to the game or indifferent to publicity. Of course, I have in mind the colored people. A few years ago there was considerable hurrah. Circuits were attempted in the South, and also parks. Perhaps managers lost money and had no further heart for the business. This as it may be, but for some reason the game has been losing out. This publication solicits reports of the more important games as it wishes to do by the colored teams what white publications are doing for the white teams, and for the game. Let us hear from your games. All important sport information will be published in The Freeman. Sunday games in Northern cities make it possible for the colored clubs to get by. The idea of Sunday games does not strike everybody just right. I venture the assertion that the South largely has religious scruples against Sunday playing. It is not the intention to argue for the disregard of the Sabbath day if men are inclined to keep it holy, this, however, the regard for the day, does not help baseball. In St. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Sunday games are permitted, and owing to this standing clubs are maintained from year to year. The receipts of the Sunday games very nearly care for the clubs. The American Giant is fairly independent because of its Sunday games, it has no interests in circuits, because they do not good to them. The other cities mentioned are fairly in the way. In Indianapolis a game outside of the Sundays is scarcely worth a "tu pence." Some little attendance on Mondays, less on Tuesdays and on. This is different when the distinguished teams come. This fact is the only hope for a circuit of colored players in the North. The great distance humans means that the clubs' funds would be consumed largely in railway fares. But it seems possible in that these greater teams with their reputation could form some sort of system that would warrant a circuit, such as has been talked of so often. Indianapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, French Lick and perhaps one or two more cities from the point of localities have the best opportunity for a circuit. Southern cities, perhaps, do not have as favorable an opportunity as the North, but by some means they could also have circuits. The trouble seems to have been that the managers in the past have expected to clean up too much on the games. There isn't very much profit-sharing for the stockholders of smaller leagues. They've got to go it some for the mere glory that's in it. In the northern states the minor leagues don't make very much for the bosses. Play ball is in the air, and everybody is doing it. Flynn forced McCarty to the ropes and landed three times. McCarty jabbed Flynn several times, once or twice sending his head back. Flynn clinched and sent a couple of light raps to the head. They clinched and were wrestling when the bell tapped to end the round. Round 5—Flynn was the first to get off, and he had two punches in before McCarty got going. Then Luther traced himself and sent three punches to the body. Flynn clinched and they punched each other on the body and head, but there was little punishment. McCarty grabbed Flynn, and they did a little wrestling. McCarty sent three hard punches to the body. The rest of the round the men clinched and held and punched at close quarters, their work having rather a fake look. Round 6—McCarty jabbed and they clinched. Flynn bullied McCarty, Jim having his head down on Luther's chest. For over a minute they clinched b yelectric motors. They tains four bells rang from 1,525 pounds to 318 pounds are arranged for a sister chimes, which striker hour in addition to which strikes every hour. FLORALA, A Mr. J. T. Richburg of 1913.

J.—Following his remarkable showing here last night Howard P. Drew, the Springfield high school spinner, has been credited with a new world's record. At the carnival of Paterson Elks, Drew ran away from his competitors in a heat of the 60-yard dash and breasted the tape in 6-15 seconds, bettering the former record by 1-5 of a second. Handicaps were too much for the dusky collision on the third. Excessive handicaps also brought about the defeat of Hannes Kolemaini in the two-mile run. LUTHER McCARTY BESTS JIM FLYNN Old Rivals Fight Six Fast Rounds in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA—Luther McCarty who claims the heavy weighty championship, the other evening bested Jim Flynn, the Denver fireman, in a six-round bout at Olympia before a crowd that paid fro m$1 to $5 for a seat. It proved to be a rather mild encounter in which neither man overexerted himself. If McCarty did the best he knows how he has a lot to learn about boxing, both in hitting and defense. He appeared to be in splendid condition, but at no time cut loose with the sort of vigor that patterns of boxing like to see. Flynn was rather fat and in no condition to fight fast, and yet during the greater part of the battle he forced McCarty about the ring with his head down and his guard open, leaving his face fully exposed. McCarty repeatedly jabbed Flynn in the face with his left, but used a sort of push blow that had to come to it and as a result Flynn no more harm than to make his nose bleed. Flynn on one or two occasions cut loose with real business like swings for the head, but he failed to land on the right spot and McCarty was unmarked at the end of the contest. The men in every round stood head to head or shoulder to shoulder and banged away at each other, but they wrestled more than they boxed, and with an occasional exception when one or the other got home with a blow that hurt, the mix-up amounted to little Flynn always kept boring in and McCarty either did not know how or did not want to stop his advances, as any man with a good left could have stopped them, for Flynn's guard was wide open. McCarty's left-hand jabs were ridiculously weak and his right that followed the lefts at frequent intervals were not very damaging. At that he was always far in the lead on points scored and had a decision been rendered McCarty must have been declared the winner. McCarty's left jabs made Flynn's nose and eyes look red in the first round, and there was a suggestion of blood in the second, that became quite pronounced in the third. McCarty nearly lost his balance in trying to get away from a blow that Flynn let go the moment the handshake was over at the start of the contest, and Flynn slipped to his knees as the result of a missed swing early in the second round. These were the only suggestions of knockdowns. Flynn smashed McCarty a couple of good ones in the second round, and McCarty was hit with some real good punches in the third. The fourth was rather slow and the fifth was very slow and fakely. Both men displayed more than usual energy in the sixth, but no damage was done. Round 1—The men had hardly shaken hands when they rushed to a clinch. In stepping away McCarty partly slipped over Flynn's feet, but did not go down all the way. Flynn sent in a couple of uppercuts at close quarters. McCarty jabbed and Flynn clinched. McCarty sent in an uppercut to the ribs, but there was little stea to it. Then he jabbed with his left and uppercut to the body. Then, stepping in, he sent his right to the body. McCarty landed three jabs without a return. Flynn got a hard one to Luther's jaw. McCarty once more jabbed and uppercut, and then they had a little rally, each landing without much damage, as they were too close to do any harm. McCarty jabbed to the face at the bell. Round 2—McCarty jabbed and they came to a clinch. Flynn went down from a slip and then they wrestled for a few seconds, and in breaking away they punched each other in the clinch. McCarty landed two jabs and Flynn began to hold. There was more hitting in clinches. Flynn forced McCarty buck, landing twice. McCarty jabbed twice and then they clinched, and were together when Referee Rocap had to pull them apart, neither showing any willingness to break. Flynn staggered McCarty twice with hard rans at close quarters, both blows landing on the head. A stiff jab from McCarty's left brought the blood from Jim's nose. McCarty shot three uppercuts to the face just before the bell rang. etaain shdrlu etainu rdu etainou Round 3 - Flynn rushed to the center and landed twice before McCarty got set. McCarty returned with a left hook to the jaw and a right to the body. Flynn clinched and landed twice before the referee could break them apart. McCarty landed hard on the body and then Flynn came back, land- ing two hard punches, making McCarty hold. McCarty jabbed four or five times to the face, Flynn covering up as best he could. Flynn forced McCarty to a corner and had him hold- ing again. They clinched and a rough session followed at close quarters. Round 4 - McCarty main started the round with a rush. He landed on the face and following Luther up, he land- ed twice on the head, and McCarty took hold with both hands. McCarty sent his right to the body and then shot in a stiff upcut. Flynn came back and they had a fast exchange, with Flynn having the best of it. Flynn forced McCarty to the ropes and landed three times. McCarty jabbed Flynn several times, once or twice sending his head back. Flynn clinched and sent a couple of light raps to the head. They clinched and were wrestling when the bell tapped to end the round. Round 5—Flynn was the first to get off, and he had two punches in before McCarty got going. Then Luther braced himself and sent three punches to the body. Flynn clinched and they punched each other on the body and head, but there was little punishment. McCarty clinched and they did a little wrestling. McCarty sent hard punches to the body. The rest of the round the men clinched and held and punched at close quarters, their work having rather a fake look. Round 6-McCarty jabbed and they clinched. Flyn bullied McCarty, Jim having his head down on Luther's chest. For over a minute they clinched and wrestled around the ring. Then McCarty hooked Jim to the head with his left and, getting loose, he hooked three times to the head. Then each landed on the head. They were both tired and staggering, and then they clinched, and they were wrestling when the bell rang. Two 11-year old boys, Frank and John McKee, said to be twin sons of Paddy McKee, afforded the real excitement of the evening, when they came on for a three-round bout, with "Buffalo Bill" as referee. Mr. Cody received great applause on entering the ring, and after the first round the spectators showed the diminutive boxers with dimes, quarters and halves, and even one-dollar bills, so pleased were they with the exhibition up. WOLGAST CAN RETIRE WITH $200,000 ROLL Murphy Having Beaten Him, May Demand a Title Bout With Wife Tommy Murphy's victory on points over Ad Wolgast in San Francisco is taken to mean that the former lightweight champion of the world is all in. Wolgast lost his grip after recovering from an attack of appendicitis a year ago last November. Up to that time he was invincible against all comers. His poor showing with Joe Rivers and his defeat on a foul at the hands of Willie Ritchie for the title were natural results of his illness. When Murphy boxed a twenty-round draw with Wolgast for moral achievement the conclusion that the former champion had seen his best days, for Murphy, in the opinion of Eastern critics, never was better than a second rate boxer. Wolgast goes into the background with nearly $200,000, which he has made out of the fighting game. He has valued his services at an exorbitant figure. Only last fall he refused $15,000 to box Packey McFarland in Madison Square Garden, declaring that he would not go through with the match unless he received $22,500. Perhaps Wolgast feared defeat, for in a ten-round bout McFarland, making 133 pounds at 3 o'clock, would have outpointed him more easily than did Murphy. Murphy's success, however, places him in a position to demand a fight for the title with Ritchie, but whether the latter will recognize him or not remains to be seen. Ritchie can have a fat guarantee to box Freddie Welsh, the English champion, in the garden some time in May. He can also secure big money for a bout with McFarland. But Ritchie's manager, Billy Nolan still insists upon $15,000, which is entirely out of the question. Ritchie is talking about meeting Leach Cross first, which would see into indicate that Nolan isn't in search of serious trouble. MANHATTAN COMEDY COMPANY MAKES BIG HIT. The Manhattan Comedy Company, headed by Edwards and Wesley, America's greatest Negro tenor and that dainty singing and dancing soubrette and character artist, cleaned up here at the Morton theater, last night. The house was packed and jammed from top to bottom. The ticket office closed after 1,250 tickets were sold and people were standing down the aisles and any place else they could. Mr. P. J. Davis, the present owner and manager, claims the Smart Set nor Patti never packed the house like that, and the assistant manager, Lew Whipher, claimed also that the Smart Set never did it, because he was with them. The show started off with a big singing and dancing number; then came the olio. Miss Sadie Liveline doing a nice swing, when it went big, B. E. Edwards then followed them with his own compositions, assisted by Miss Wesley and chorus, and their number stopped the show; then came the last act, Madam Brown's school, written by B. E. Edwards, all new, something that has never been seen before. It was a laugh from start to finish. Owing to being called home by his mother, B. E. Edwards is taking the company to New York this week. Their next stop is Wilmington, N. C., week of April 28. TUSKEGEE SCHOOL PRESENTED A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR TOWER CLOCK. TUSKEGEE, Ala.—Booker T. Washington, principal, is happy over the donation of a ten thousand dollar tower clock which marks the completion of the white memorial building, one of the girls' dormitories of his famous school for Negroes. The work on the tower and the settling of the mammoth clock, with Westminster chimes and a large bell to strike the hours and call students from "labor to refreshments," has just been completed. The additional donation was made to the school by the donors of the magnificent structure, which cost $75,000. The clock tower on White memorial hall rises forty feet above the roof, being located at the center of the building, where the gable roof of the large porch intersects the main roof. The frame work is steel, the steel supporting columns resting on heavy concrete pillars in the foundation of the building. The tower is divided by a richly moulded cornice into two parts. The lower part is octagonal in shape, four of the sides being a little longer than the other four sides. The four longer sides are eight feet eight inches long. This part of the tower is twenty-four feet high. The lower part is pierced with four windows, one of each of the four sides. The side as are the windows are four glass clock dials five feet in diameter, raised above the windows. The clock dials are illuminated by electric lights so as to be visible at night. The clock machinery is located in this part of the tower supported on two reinforced concrete platforms. The clock winding is done b yelectric motors. The tower contains four bells ranging in weight from 1,525 pounds to 310 pounds. The bells are arranged for the Westminster chimes, which strike every quarter hour in addition to the large bell, which strikes every hour. FLORALA, ALA. Mr. J. T. Richburg died March 16, 1913.

C. A. band made its debut in the theatrical world last Saturday evening at the Palm Beach Civic Center, their first minstrel show. That it was a huge-success, goes without saying, as far as merit and concern are concerned. The Ollie was a feature. That the Y. M. C. A. has plenty of talent is evident. It is said to be one of the most popular this season, which is saying a great deal for an amateur organization. They will have an appearance in May. The State Oratorical Contest the last week of April will feature the band minstrel, will give the people of Indianapolis something worth while for the closing of the association year of 1912. "Are you the man with the club?" is a cartoon that has been gotten out by the author. He is not the one received by the association of such a course. At this time, with "the opening of the club," he has received a large number of delinquent subscribers, it is the proper method. The person who has paid his or her pledge like a good man, is the one who kicks is the delinquent one. The citizens of Indianapolis, yea, of the world will yet know who has paid his or her pledge. It is in the running. It is alright to promise a contribution but quite another thing in life, irresponsibility of truth, will not only hurt him, but his posterity who would like to be a man among men, will have inherited weakness, will stand weak knees even before his limp.
