D., one of the most prominent physicians of Louisville, and one of the most influential professional men among his own generation, graduated from Beenett College, Greensboro, N. C. He afterwards pursued a course in medicine at Meharyn Medical College, as asylvile in 1910, he graduated with honors, then he served a village with very little means, but with a trained mind and determination to succeed which has placed him in the foreground of the very useful citizen and is a member of the outlook committee, whose aim is to protect and promote the welfare of our country, and is one of the popular young men in the state. He is widely and favorably known over the DR. J. A. C. LATTIMORE, Louisville, Ky. state. He is willing at all times to do things for the betterment of his own people. He is well known in fraternal organizations, and he is a great teacher to them. He has a beautiful residence at the corner of Fifteenth and West Wall Street, and owns nice automobile. In his prosperity he has not forgotten his God, and is a truly Christian gentleman. Dr. Lattimore is a charitable act. If any of his patients are so unfortunate as to not have the ability to afford professional services, he is always ready and willg aid them. He has often helped others at his own expense, thus helping the community spirit. These facts were told to the writer by many of his patients. A man who could not afford a durable creditable to any community and an inspiration to other members of his since he could not afford a durable creditable to any community and an inspiration to other members of his since he could not afford a durable creditable to any community and an love for humanity in his great heart and thinks of others as wel as himself.

We need more like this noble gentleman. MISS MARTHA E. WILLIAMS, Frankfort, Ky. her degree here. When it was said that Miss Williams would take this degree out of the state, Dr. Underwood, Prof. Mayo and many other leading white educators advised her to give this honor to the State University, as they knew this would be a drawing card to the young people of the state and especially to this city to have the degree conferred by a state institution. She at all times is ready and willing to lend her help to the young people in their struggles. She is an ardent supporter of the church and is a Sunday school teacher at the First Baptist Church and president of a number of clubs. Miss Williams is receiving congratulations from a host of her friends in and out of the state. The people of this city are glad for the honor given to this worthy, young lady, and we only wish that Frankfort could boast of more such ladies as Miss Williams, who is indeed a great benefactor to the members of her race. Dr. E. B. Underwood, of Frankfort, delivered the best address at the State Medical Association. He is one of the most prominent physicians in the state and is engaged in church and fraternal work. He is a staunch leader of his people. Here are a few extracts from Dr. Underwood began by a brief review of the history of medicine and counted past and present medical science during the past century, and commended the progressive tendencies of the profession. He said that the profession has better pressed today than ever be- INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1913 fore to intelligently and conscientiously discharge its duties to the laity. He discharges the duties of the laity to the Laity" eximinatively, touching upon the relation to the patient, to the family, to the community, to the school, to the church, to the courts, and closed "It would not be possible to discuss this subject fully without a brief refrence to his brother practitioner. Unfortunately, there is not always the spirit of cordiality which ought to obtain among physicians, who possess professional wisdom and whispered in the streets of Askleon' that there is often too much jealousy among physicians, which does untold injury to their professional life. Any physician his brother should be to 'do unto others as he would that others would do unto him. No physician should be to send to the level of slendering his own brother. He should not permit himself to the lealing art. This is an evil of which no conscientious physician should be guilty of. Nothing goes so far toward conscientious physicians the profession and to bring them to disgrace than do this, the physician should hold his peace. He should remember the judge not be judged. For with what judgment ye judge ye shall be judged, and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured, and with what measure the more in this brother's eye, when behold, there is a beam in thine own eye'. As physicians we should remember that the more in this human is human. As has been well said, 'There is so much that is good in the worst of us, and so much that is bad in the least of us, who behaves any of us to talk about the rest of us.' No physician can afford to be a captious fainturer of his brother, when he faults, is subject to mistakes and to errors. "It is a well-known fact that the jailed his little reward for medical ethics, his medical education, and another physicism without consulting the attending physician, or to change physicians without settling the bill and informing him that his services are no longer expected. They need to be taught how to consult the physician, done of the physicist last call will but do his duty. Another rule necessary to the profession is to never perish in another condition and calls for the most heroic winner. In matter of consultation, a physician should be broad-gauge, whether it be a case in which he is jailed or himself is called in consultation. Due resuscitation must be M. B. DR. E. E. UNDERWOOD, Frankfort, Ky. paid by the one to the other, and the reputation of the profession should be safeguarded. There should be a bond of unity between physicians, so strong that it is possible to keep the best of the best of the four of trouble and count no sacrifice too great to be made. It is pertinent and proper to here state that the pathway of the Negro physician is more difficult than it is easily accounted for. We should recall that the race is but a brief half-century from slavery—a condition which is not a problem, and to the best of our faith to the white man. Not only this, but the sun of the Negro's "hoodoo doctor" and the 'conjurer" is just setting behind the western world, but the same point has been made in this post the Negro physician and requires that he must be more tactful and skilful than his white competitor. His everyday life must also be more friendly and kind to the other, and, in that he must be just a little superior to the white physician who practices among the same patrons. He must also be possessed of a certain degree of legal authority, and be more tolerant of the fact that make him a very helpful factor in advising the masses of our race on matters of which they are ignorant. "There is yet another relation of the physician that is not for the present, and that is the cause of patent medicine vendors on an unsuspecting but credulous laity. It is the duty of the profession to protect the laity from quackery. The general practice of the practice of a "perpetual" for every ill should receive the most severe condemnation. No intelligent physician should recommend a patent medicine, since he knows not what the name of the patent is. The therapeutic effect upon the patient, and moreover, no physician who has invented or discovered a remedy that is helpful to the human family should place the most severe concern upon the more thereby the patient from suffering humanity." "One of the most vexatious and serious problems with which the physician is called to deal is the remuneration of his services. To the best of his deed, one of the most vital questions of the hour. When the shadow of sickness is called to the physician, he calls to and, when after his caessless vigil the sunshine of health returns, he is too often the thief in pain, painfully, painfully. When our Savior called and sent forth the seventy, he admonished them to 'carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor scarf, nor his hie. And if there is any public servant who ought to be paid, it is the physician, hold high carnival and the air of bacillus, his loved ones in his hands and enters the sick room, where disease and death hold high carnival and the air of bacillus, exhausts his every energy in baffled impotence to save human life. He it is who spends it, these things, an effort to alleviate suffering. He it is who regards no sacrifice too great in order that he may stay alive, and so does an effort to alleviate suffering. He it is who regards no sacrifice too great in order that he may stay alive, and so does an effort to alleviate suffering. He it is whose life work times more exacting and gilling than that of the 'quarry slave at night, who is scourged to his dungeon. And it is but due him that such fidelity should re-expose the adequate compensation and just reward. “In conclusion, a physician should always keep his 'conscience' void of offense towards God and man.” He should be a good and unguised and unconfident. He should not permit himself to be tempted by filthy lucre to stray from the path of legitimate practice to do that with will and discolor him by discredit. His honored profession. Nor should a physician allow himself to be inflated with an unnecessary degree of egotism, thereby weakening his influenced self-reliance. He should not be without self-reliance. He should not claim to eure all. He should be modest and unassuming. Neither should a physician be too tall and the man should not discuss the maladies. He should not be malaligned. His patients with others. He should keep his hand on his mouth and his tongue between his teeth. It would be well for him to remember the little of him. Of whom you speak: To whom you speak: And how, and when and where. “He should look out and backward, but inward and downward, and press on in the van of human destiny and progress. His prayer should be that of Abou Ben Adniem, who commanded the anest to him as one who loves his fellow smell.” "He should believe in the dignity of his calling, and go forth to labor for God and humanity. He should live." For the cause that lacks assistance. For the wrong that needs resistance. For the future in the distance. And the good that he may do. "And when, for him, the great drama of life draws to a close, and the curtain of night begins to fall, when the light of heaven streams down through the gathering mists of death, he will be blessed with the sweet and cheering assurance in his last hours of having lived a life consecrated and given to a noble purpose; and, when called before the final bar, to give an account of his stewardship, he will be enabled to report, 'Father, I have finished the work.' Thou gavest me to do." Mr. Thomas Washington, a turfman, spent a few days in Louisville to witness the races. Mrs. Robert Shutt, of Louisville, was in the city this week, the guest of her mother, Mrs. Belle Stinton. Mrs. Rachel Erens, of Louisville, and Mrs. Fraser of Woodlake, were the guests of the race.

She was highly respected and leaves a host of friends. Many friends were grieved to hear of the illness of Mrs. Mary L. Webster, a very attractive young lady of this city. Rev. F. L.

(Freeman Bureau, 3000 South State St., St. Louis 8058, Automatic 7:30) CHICAGO, Ill., May 21, (Special.) We are living in a most progressive age, with multitudinous social, scientific and political interests, and a high degree of self-reliance. It is being true that a man of parts fares better and faster without assistance and encouragement, the reverse is true. One of the most important factors of his life is the need for other, one heart cheers another, and, as man is really an able man, the greater needs he has for support, for respective forces. We are not a man who is not able to be won, great edifices constructed, nor political organizations seet in motion, nor great newspapers edited and read. We are living in a most encouragement, the greater needs he has for support, for respective forces. We are living in a most progressive age, with multitudinous social, scientific and political interests, and a high degree of self-reliance. It is being true that a man of parts fares better and faster without assistance and encouragement, the greater needs he has for support, for respective forces. We are living in a most progressive age, with multitudinous social, scientific and political interests, and a high degree of self-reliance. With such a splendid array of legal ability there is very little reason for us to despair, but to thank God and take the challenge. The colorful lawyer at the Chicago bar has more than once proved itself in that when great questions affecting our civil rights raised by enemies of the race in the leagues were answered by care, accuracy, precision, coupled with astute legal ability, vindicated and saved the rights of the race. May they live long to serve the country. The Physicians and Surgeons Gallery will appear next week. Geo. W. Ellis at Evanston. Attorney Geo. W. Ellis was the chief speaker on last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, at the A. M. E. Church of Evansville, where he was the center of a movement in that city, Dr. D. J. Harris, known as the father of the movement, a rich white man who has done and is doing what he asked the young United people of Evansville to erect a Y. M. C. A. building, spoken last Sunday, during the course of which states that he be created the ground where the building would be erected and that the building would be the best equipped of any similar building for our country, but would United States praise can not be said of this broad philanthropic work which this noted white man is doing to serve the people. With a few such fair-minded white citizens who realize the duty of the white race to the colored population would not only reside in the United States, but would place the race question where, as Lincoln said, "the public mind would rest at case as to the justice and ultimate order of the one people." With Evansville movement in behalf of the young men, and is a graduate of the famous Hampton Institute of Virginia. The example of our young man Tally is a splendid illustration of what young colored men can do for themselves and the community in which they live when they are prepared for service and proceed about it along positive and con- structive lines. Attorney George W. Ellis addressed the large and enthusiastic concourse of Evanston's best citizens on some of the most important positions of the state and the whole and colored people of the country. His subject was "The New American Freedom." After reviewing the years of his work, he spent most of his time at theையers, the speaker called particular attention to the meaning and quality of the newوتور. The new education were the new education, which is to email to the white race from prejudice and the false assumption of white superiority, and the more important of the people with just appreciation of their capabilities for service and high achievement. Under the head of the new indus-nessary, the state was supported by the new education, which is to email to the white race from prejudice and the false assumption of white superiority. His subject was "The New American Freedom." After reviewing the years of his work, he spent most of his time at the same place as the state and the whole and colored people of the country. The new industry and business were world-throwing down the barriers hitherto obtained and giving employment to the people who were the most important of their character and ability to render effective and constructive service. Under the division of the new religion, the state was supported by the new education and the new industrial justice, the white races are to have the doctrines of the Christ-reinterpreto; to them in such fashion the state has been adopted and the industry and Christian fellowship without regard to race or color. He spoke of the recent growth in providing the state with the support and of the New National Movement for the Advancement of Colored People and closed with a thrilling and inspiring perforation on the state's investments of color and during five years of American freedom. His address was highly appreciated and at the close of the year. The state has much much applause. One of the pastors present invited him to speak to his congregation one Sunday in the near future.

The hotel is located in the city's accommodation of its kind, without exception, in this country, and I can safely receive her. Mrs. Ray makes it one of my friends. And not to take advantage of the accommodation of the Waddy Hotel means our loss. It is conveniently located, picturesque scenery makes it one of the most attractive accommodations to sary to be sick or disabled to receive the hotel.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Newsy Notes of Newspaper Workers. Compiled Under the Direction of the National Negro Press Association. A meeting of the special sub-committee of the National Negro Press Association will be held May 10 at Cape May, N. J., to consider a program and other important questions in connection with the annual meeting of the association next August. By invitation of Mr. E. W. Dale, proprietor of the famous Hotel Dale, the association will hold one of its sessions at Cape May, August 18, to be followed by other sessions at Philadelphia, August 19. * * * The Dallas Express unsparingly condemns those of our people who refuse to subscribe for a dignified colored paper, and yet rush out to patronize white sheets which refer to them contemptuously as "Sambo," "darky" and "coon." Speaking of the progressive spirit found among the colored people of the Northwest, Dr. Booker T. Washington just returned from a tour of the States of Washington, Oregon, Montana, and other portions of the Pacific country, says: "In proportion to the population, the standard monthly magazine and high-type weekly publications have a large circulation, I think, in the West than in the East. It is not only true that the white people are great readers, but the same is equally true of the colored people. They know what is going on in the world, and anyone who comes into this part of the United States expecting to find ignorance will soon be undeceived." That this is highly encouraging, goes without the saying. The qualifications of membership in the association; the number of representatives allowed to a publication paying the initiation fee of one dollar; the revision of the constitution and a tentative draft of a program are among the points that will occupy the attention of the sub-committee of the N. N. P. A. at Cape May next month. Bishop B. T. Turner disapproves of the acceptance by our papers of "ads" exploiting the virtues of hair-straighteners, face-bleaches and fortune tellers. The fellows who have to fix the payroll for the employees on Saturday night take a more liberal view of the question. The Chisholm News Service, which dispenses news about colored people for the colore diapers in and about Texas, has joined hands with the National Negro Press Association. It is a creditable enterprise and should be generously supported by our papers everywhere. The bright side of the Negro's life and character will be given a fair showing only when we have developed means among ourselves for the distribution of the facts that redound to our advantage as a people. The Progressive Age, of Omaha, Nebraska, has suspended. The Chicago Defender has three wagons engaged in delivering that up-to-date journal to its agents and patrons, thus insuring prompt service to all parts of the city and numerous suburbs. Editor R. S. Abbott is "some more hustler." The Baltimore Times has resumed, with Hugh E. Macbeth as editor, and J. Finley Wilson as associate editor and business manager. Fred R. Moore, publisher of the New York Age, has decided not to go to Liberia as United States minister. Daniel Murray's "Encyclopedia of the Colored Race," upon which he has spent the better part of fifteen years, is now ready for distribution. Since 1871, Mr. Mur ray has been an assistant in the library of congress and has been in a position to get hold of the most reliable matter concerning the rise, progress and achievements of the race along every line of endeavor. The work is very complete and is a valuable addition to the literature of the century touching the Negro people. Mr. Murray is one of Washington's largest property owners and is in all respects a public-spirited citizen, as well as a writer of practical history. ```markdown ``` J. H. Murphy, the veteran editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, recently made a tour of the South, for recreation, observation and study. His letters to his paper, describing conditions, as he saw them, in the principal centers of Negro population in Dixieland, have been very interesting and instructive. They contained much that gave us hope and much that caused the Negro to pause and think seriously of what the future may bring forth. In the mean, however, the race, as observed by Mr. Murphy, showed substantial gains, both in education and material possessions, and the balance is on the right side. Upon his return to his home town, Mr. Murphy was tendered a big banquet by the Masons, of which he is a bright and shining light, and his address on that occasion stands out as one of the most luminous and helpful deliverances ever presented to a Baltimore audience. Henry Allen Boyd, corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press Association, is a busy man these days. Besides bearing the lion's share of the burdens of the press association, he has on his hands the bulk of the promotion work of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, which meets in Muscogee, Okla., in June. He is one of the motor forces of the National Baptist Publishing House, the drive wheel of the National Negro Doll Company, which is now taking orders for next Christmas, a powerful factor in the Nashville Globe and the National Baptist Union-Review—and has a plenty to do in connection with other enterprises of which space forbids further mention at this time. Mr. Boyd is one of the most useful young men in this country and a brilliant future awaits him. Mr. N. B. Dodson, editor of the Afro-American page published by the American Press Association, has the sympathy of the entire craft in the loss of his father, Mr. Armistead W. Dodson, who died a fortnight ago at Boydton, Va., aged about seventy-five years. The elder Dodson had a picturesque career, and the story of his experiences with his master, an officer in the Confederate army, his capture by the soldiers under Lee and his sensational escape, followed by a journey homeward of one hundred miles on foot, reads like a romance. Mr. Dodson conducted a fine farm at Boydton and gave all of his children a liberal education. The younger Mr. Dodson is an energetic Sunday school and social settlement worker and is chairman of Loadstone Trust Threatened by Group of Financiers who Have Investigated!

Harry T. Burleigh (colored) one of leading bartender singles of the United States, and one who has come in for quite a recognition in the music halls of London and other parts of Europe, was especially requested to sing the solo "Calvary" at the funeral service of the late J. Pierpont Morgan, held at St. George's Episcopal church, New York, last Monday. James C. Thomas, Jr., of New York, was recently admitted to practice at the bar of that city. In a class of five hundred taking the examination he was the only Negro. He was the son of James C. Thomas, Sr., the well-known undertaker, and is just 23 years old. He was born in New York City and attended the city public schools, graduating from the high schools of Commerce in 1909. He entered the Cornell Law School in the fall of 1909, graduating with honor in 1912. He has also studied law in the offices of Max Franklin, 299 Broadway; Rufus Lewis Perry, 375 Fulton street, Brooklyn, and John William Smith, 203 Broadway. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, suggests the following beautiful oath for the Afro-American youth: I will never bring disgrace upon my race by any unworthy deed or dishonorable act; I will live a clean, decent manly, life, and ever respect and defend the virtues and honor of womanhood; I will uphold and obey the just laws of my country and of the community in which I live and will encourage others to do likewise; I will not allow prejudice, injustice, insult or outrage to cower my spirit or humiliate my soul, but will ever preserve the inner freedom of heart and conscience; I will not allow myself to be overcome by evil, but will strive to overcome evil with good; I will endeavor to develop and exert the best powers within me for my own personal improvement, and will strive unceasingly to quicken the sense of racial duty and responsibility: I will in all these ways aim to uplift my race so that, to everyone bound to it by ties of blood, it shall become a bond of ennoblement, and not a byword of reproach. Jere A. Brown, who recently died at his home in Cleveland, O., served two terms as a member of the Ohio state legislature. His most conspicuous work as a legislator was the passage of an anti-discrimination insurance bill which is still a state law and effective. He served two terms as a deputy sheriff, many years ago, and was a past grand master of our Masons of the state of Ohio at the time of his death. It is said of Mr. Brown that soon after the war of the rebellion, he served on the Mississippi river steamboats with "Mark Twain" (Samuel Clemens, deceased) and that he was a member of the "Pennsylvania," whose boiler exploded and caused the famous disaster which history records in connection with that great river. Two sisters survive him, one being the distinguished Hallie Q. Brown, the noted The sudden and very evident prosperity of many colored men and women in the South has been investigated by Northern capitalists with results that have surprised leaders of the financial world. In spite of the increased cost of living many Negro men and women who were known to be poor suddenly had plenty of money to spend. Their_prosperity was so evident that, as soon as it became known, financial interests which control the cotton crop sent investigators throughout the South to learn if there was a change in the cotton situation. The investigators found the quickly acquired wealth was due to the magnetic qualities of one of the most powerful influences on the life of men—the loadstone. At first the shrewd agents of the great capitalists refused to believe the loadstones were responsible for the sudden riches, but they became convinced that the man and women who were formerly poor had required their loadstones from a mineral company whose offices are in New York City, from which city the investigators were sent on their mission of investigation. These investigators found that quantities of buried treasures to be found in almost every section of the South as a result of the Civil War, had been discovered by the possessors of loadstones. These discoveries accounted for the sudden wealth. It was also learned that each of the lucky finders of buried treasures was the owner of two loadstones, a negative and a positive. The information led to further investigation of the series of facts coming to light. It was known that loadstones were valued highly by the ancients because of the power which loadstones possess to give their owners luck and repel evil. It was not generally known, however, that a quantity of the valuable mineral had been found which surpassed in power any heretofore discovered. In proof of the power of the loadstones controlled by the New York men, a well authenticated case was cited of a highly respected colored women whose life was saved when, so it is asserted, an enemy attempted to cast a spell over her. The attempt failed, the loadstones the evil influence, the loadstones a hole through a little leather bag in which the owner carried them suspended by a cord. The burned receptacle was shown several scientists and the grateful woman told them her story. When these facts became known to the financiers an attempt was made by them to get control of the company which has control of the supply of these highly magnetic loadstones. Various offers were made, but each was refused. The inability of the financiers to "gobble" in the company stipulated their interest unquestioned has been serious talk of forming a Loadstone Trust.

It has even been said that once such a trust is formed, its shares will be listed on the Stock Exchange, when there would be every likelihood of a Wall Street furry being caused by them. Though the financiers are reticent in regard to their plans, it is known they believe the formation of such a trust could be accomplished without having the trust accused of trying to restrain trade. There is reason to believe that the men interested in this gigantic proposition have had several scientists at work to determine just what power the loadstone of the mineral company in question have. In a secret report, it is alleged, the scientists have set forth that the tremendous power of these loadstones comes from having them in pairs, a negative and a positive. These learned men assert that the stones should not, and do not contain a superabundance of magnetism, which would make them harmful to their possessors, drawing the natural magnetism from the weaker. The claim must, however, that they contain just the right quantity of magnetism so that when they are worn in pairs the loadstones are capable of producing the very best possible results for the success and prosperity of the wearers. These scientists are not the first men of their class who have made a study of loadstones and found them to be of great benefit to the wearers of the pecliar mineral. No less a personage than Sir Isaac Newton constantly wore a ring in which was set an elegant specimen of the loadstone. He wore the ring many years and explained to his friends that it was an heirloom of his family, having been handed down from father to son for many generations. When a scientist of his reputation, high attainments and many qualifications gave the loadstone his approval so openly the attitude taken, by some of the conservative class of the present day seems not only remarkable but downright foolish. Much is being said and written about "personal magnetism." The man or woman who has it is eagerly sought because of such person's ability to influence and control others. Many of those who are supposed to have developed their "personal magnetism" to the fullest extent have done nothing of the sort; but, on the contrary, have made no effort to change themselves, relying wholly on the wonderful power contained in the pair of loadstones, which the supposed possessor of "personal magnetism" always wore. These and many other facts have been brought to the attention of the strong group of financiers who have been having the workings of the loadstone investigated by scientists and other men who make investigations their life work. The information which the financiers most desired, however, was in regard to where the --- lector in charge of the revenue office at San Juan, Porto Rico.

The discovery by the company of such a rich deposit—rich in the ability of the stones taken from it to accomplish wonders for the wearers—could not long remain free from investigations on the part of those who are seeking to get an absolute control of this most wonderful supply of mineral. Thus it was that the financiers first made their attempt to gain control of the loadstones by discovering the supply and making negotiations for the purchase of the supply. It was because the attempt failed that the possibility of a loadstone trust came into existence. When the officers of the mineral company, which at present controls the situation, were seen in their offices in New York City they said they would not sell out for at least two reasons. One of these was because they were well satisfied with the condition of the loadstone. The other and much stronger reason was because they feared the price of the loadstones would be raised so that it would be difficult, for those most in need of the beneficent influences of the loadstone, to get them. In the meantime, while the possibility of a deal between the mineral campany and a Wall Street syndicate is in the balance, the news about the wonderful properties of this special supply of loadstones became known in "The Street;" and it is said that many staln bankers and brokers are carrying about with them a pair of loadstones for the purpose of winning much money in the Stock Market. How well they succeed is not likely to be known to the public as men of their class never let it be known generally whether they are making or losing money until they have lost everything. Then it is known because they cannot pay their debt. Then enough of them fail at once it creates a panic, and business is bad all over the country. If enough of the men who work in stocks use the loadstones there is little likelihood that there will be a panic, in spite of the fact that this is a "Presidential election year," when many folks are ready to predict financial trouble. Such predictions always are instrumental in shaking confidence on the part of the public, which in turn makes the beginning of a panic possible. The public, however, as well as the financiers, are buying and wearing loadstones. Should enough of the public supply itself with the peculiarly endowed mineral, there is little likelihood that there will be very hard times, in spite of the distrust caused by a national election. Though it may be too difficult for every man to become a J. P. Morgan, a John D. Rockefeller, or an Andrew Carnegie, it is safe to predict that each who has heard fully about loadstones will buy a pair as soon as he can get the price; for there is very indication the public is becoming more and more interested in the subject is a mistake for our people not to enter these higher institutions of learning when they can do so with little cost.

It is even said that the mineral company which has excited the cupidity of the financiers is at times having difficulty in keeping up with the orders which it receives. Even those who profess to disbelieve in the potency of the loadstone are alleged to be carrying a piece of one. Very naturally they are receiving little or no benefit, the best results being attainable only by the use of two, a positive and a negative. The fact that they do not go about their seeking in the right way for all that the loadstone can give its possessor very likely will not prevent them from derying the mineral. Not a few men, and some women, are born with a "grouch," and they always vote in the negative. If any such attempt to "bear" the stock of the Loadstone Trust, if that stock is listed on the Stock Market, it is predicted that they will go "broke," and the believers in the loadstone will get all of the "bears"' money. One broker, when he was asked to discuss such a possibility, said: "I have had too much good luck since it got my pair of loadstones to care whether the market went up or down. It just seems as if I couldn't help making money anyhow. But, take it from me, if the big Wall Street men want action, they'll get it all right, all right, if they just try to corner the loadstone market. There are many traders and dealers in cotton. There have been all sorts of stunts in cotton. Now, let high finance monkey with the loadstone, and it will think it has been up against a buzz saw, sure enough." The inquisitorial methods of the financiers, and the peculiar developments resulting therefrom, will be watched by the general public with interest. What the result will be is hard to predict. Those who desire influence, power and wealth will undoubtedly give a pair of loadstones a chance to show what they can do. As practically everybody is striving for success, it is safe to say the mineral company, which controls the supply of the most efficacious stones yet discovered, will have enough business to keep it from giving much heed to the offers of the financiers who would probably make the Loadstone Trust an oppressive organization for their own aggrandizement and an adjunct to their many means of increasing their power. That the many who have received innumerable benefits from wearing loadstones will object to the formation of such a trust, and use their best endeavors to prevent it, is a foregone conclusion. Because of the stand taken by the mineral company which controls the best supply of loadstones there is little doubt that the rights of the public will be protected.

After an absence of eleven years the Indiana Department of the Grand Army of the Republic held a three days' reunion in this city this week. From all over the state came the vetrans of the Civil War, accompanied by their wives, their sons and daughters. Death has mowed down the ranks alarmingly within the eleven years, 700 having passed away within that time. Time has left its impress on the remnant of the "old guard," but they were all transfigured, as it were for the occasion, when the past arose before them like a dream, to use the words of Col. Ingersoll. Of all the soldiers mentioned in fiction none sticks with the memory any better than the one in Goldsmith's "Deserted Village." He does not come in for much consideration—just a passing mention as the poet tells of the past "glories" of "Sweet Auburn." He shouldered his crutch and showed what he saw, and what the poet says, and which sticks so tight to the memory. So much in so little—multum in parvo. At once is seen the old soldier in his infirmity and the field of carriage—a thousand fields. How simple—how powerful! The action of the Council of Federated Churches in America in urging the Presbyterians in assembly at Atlanta, Ga., this week, to study the nego problem is refreshing information. The word of consolation can come from the church as it comes from no where else. Not that we believe the church will be wholly efficacious in bringing about the best for the negro race, but as an agency it can do most in revolutionizing sentiment for good. It is too much to expect the churches to ask for the negroes the same relations as exist between white people. They can do much by showing a friendly attitude as is proposed at Atlanta. Evil thoughts are in the minds of but few, at least to the point of execution. The mob thrives on the friendly attitude of the members of a locality. Only the very few are hateful enough to attempt the actual thing. It is so in most every other thing. Influences from good sources flow just as they flow from evil sources. Word comes from El Paso, Texas, that a colored woman, Lady Flo, known as the common law wife of Lord Delval Beresford, died suddenly in the Negro quarter of that city last Monday night. She left an estate valued at from $25,000 to $50,000. In her will she left a number of specific sums and articles to those who had befriended her and stated that the remainder was to go to two second cousins, Joe Woje and sa Mwoje, said to be living in the city of Indianapolis. The names, however, do not appear in the city directory. Lady Flo was employed on the Mexican ranch of Lord Delval Beresford and after his accidental death set up a claim to half his estate as his common law wife. The Mexican law failed to recognize her mimal in the British navy away to El Paso to compromise, with her. He gave her $10,000 in cash and a large herd of cattle. Some one wrote a song about the Negroes being in it in most every old thing. It looks that way, even to the dubious title of Lady Flo. EX-SENATOR CHANDLER FOR THE FIFTEENE HAMDMENT. Former Senator W. E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, as will be noticed by article seen elsewhere, is very much interested in the re-establishment of the Republican party, and on its erstwhile foundation of humane principles. In his letter to Mr. Estabrook, of the Republican party, he wrote himself for the political welfare of the Negro, saying: "I confidently appeal to you to begin the conferences by insisting that the Republican party in state and nation shall prepare for the coming conflict for its regeneration by unequivocally pledging itself to renew its efforts for the enforcement everywhere under the flag of the fifteenth amendment, which guarantees the right to vote of the colored citizens of the republic, and which the congress is bound to enact and enforce laws to protect such citizens, with the civil war was to be ended and controversy between the sections to be forever closed." The urgent earnestness of Mrs. Chandler will not be doubted, we think. The peace of the country is dependent on the stand taken by such men, the country's conservators. Others, those of the Vardaman stripe, are consulting their passions and prejudice, being either unwilling or are unable to see the end from the beginning. I flares the land that hounds down orders of men. Russia, for instance, with its bureaucracy of officials, but with uninspired fighting men. The common men are the mainstay of war, none of whom are so far removed from oppression that they look with pleasure on the thing practiced on any set of men. The listless, indifferent Russ had no good cause to die for that country. The Japanese were men of one mind—to do and die for a common inheritance. We know the rest. Our country will make a mistake if it feels to shut off millions of its citizens owing to the accident of birth. We are a common people, a part of the great mass and when the pinch comes those not black but common, will see a common cause. It is well to let well enough alone. We Negroes are not very much interested in the reduction of southern representation. We are very much concerned about the fifteenth amendment and also the fourteenth. Mr. Chandler justly contends More than that he contends for peace, which cannot be assured if a set of men arrogate to themselves all the rights and privileges while others go and come as political beggars. SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR. The campaign for mayor was a sizzling hot one all the way through. The result is about as expected by those who had a finger on the pulse of things. Chas. A. Bookwalter, twice mayor, was nominated on the Republican ticket. His nomination was set down as a cinch. He is a superior campaigner. Men vote for him owing to his brilliant "audacity." Joseph E. Bell was put down as a Taggart man. Some thought this meant a millstone about his neck; others thought it a life buoy. The latter was nominated by the Democrats. He was fought most valiantly by the newspapers, but he didn't mind it—that is, not very much. At this writing it appears that Dr. W. H. Johnson will make it on the Progressive ticket. His principal opponents, Stewart and Headrick, were handicapped in that they had no special newspaper organ like Johnson had nor any particularly well organized machine. As popular and as decent as an individual may be, he will not make headway getting nominated by himself. It was not quite that way—just something like it. SEGREGATION ACT INVALID. In Baltimore, not long since, Judge Elliott declared the segregation ordinance passed by the city council was meant to restrict the Negroes and the white people to certain portions of the city, the object being to corral the colored people. The constitutionality of the ordinance was not passed on, which is rather unfortunate since it leaves the situation opened to a renewed attempt. The judge considered the ordinance as vague, indefinite in what constituted a "white block" and a "colored block." He said: "It is worth while in passing to note that in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance upon which the indictment is based, it would be possible to indict a law that were used or occupied as a place of residence a house located in a block in which the houses, so far as they were used or occupied by colored persons. The present is, therefore, a case where the guilt or innocence of the traverser depends upon a defection to a law that were used or occupied by a law which the mayor and city council had the right to pass, or having that right, has exercised, that made it efface the public regulation. "It is essential that the definition of 'white block' and a 'colored block' must be prescribed in a manner at once in the law and in the dispense. Use therefore look at the ordinance in that regard. Section 1 of the ordinance undertakes to make it unlawful for any person to be found in a house designated or place of abode any house situated or located on any block, the houses on which block are occupied, or used as places of abode, in whole or in part, by a person. Technically the race has won. There, however, does not follow that complete satisfaction which would have followed a decision striking at the root of the business. We would be ungrateful if we did not appreciate the partial victory, and under the circumstances when every situation, nearly, is governed by prejudice, Judge Elliott and the rest of them are not wholly free to declare their minds even when freed of prejudice when race issues are involved. We may be thought presumptions in assertion. It, nevertheless, is a truth that needs little proof. The racial limitation is such that those in lead in whatever activity find it necessary to be very circumstance, weighing all circumstances, public and private sentiment to the end that the least confusion result from their acts or decisions. A race publication of Baltimore in a rather exultingly mood had this: "We hold with His Honer, Judge Elliott, the nefarious West ordinance is unconstitutional. The thing is wrong from our view. We have been in battle in both theory and practice, and its author should now be fully aware of its untenability. It is a hard humbugging job. We learn from an author is a former street car conductor of Baltimore and studied his sociological theories while filling this very important post course. We have been in battle of all races and colors. This was before he was promoted to be one of the City Fathers." The publication, it will be noted, had it that the ordinance was declared unconstitutional. So far as the immediate effect it is not important how the change came about. But it is important that we do not confound temporary victories with those that go down to the foundation of things. However, we take it that the judge was as courageous as he could be in striking down venal legislation and for which is deserving the praise of us all. He got rid of the iniquity That's something. We cannot see the wisdom of attacking West, the author of the ordinance, on his reputation as a street car conductor. It is clearly in his favor that he has striven so well as to reach an important place in the affairs of Baltimore. West alone could have done nothing. He, perhaps, is guilty of being a tool, a conscious tool to politics, or to racial parish-ship. If his sociological views are blased, teaching the spirit of spite, it reflects on those who were men of son of humble beginnings for high places sometimes; they are the salt of just such bodies as enacted this measure of discrimination. Such men have no right, however, no moral right, to swing against the mass from which they so huckley escaped. with the business sessions. . .

Former Senator from New Hampshire Gives Out Letter Addressed to Committeeman Estabrook—Points to Proposed Reduction of Southern Delegation—Sends Copy to Hilles. Former Senator William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, has written a vigorous letter to F. W. Estabrook, member of the Granite State of the Republican National Committee, pointing out the prosecution in the membership of Southern States in the national convention of the party and at the same time calling for the fiftieth amendment to the Constitution. He also transmitted a copy of his letter to Chairman Hiles, of the Republican Executive Committee. Mr. Chandler writes as follows: "Washington, D. C., May 10, 1913. "Hon. F. W. Estabrook, New Hampshire Member of the Republican National Committee." "My Dear Mr. Estabrook—It seems to be taken for granted by reason of the outsiings of enment and trusted Boys and Girls, and the conferences among them concerning methods for reviving and arming for future campaigns of the national Republican party. The New York Tribune of the 8th instant states that Chairman Hilles has called for May 24, in Washington, a meeting of the Republican publican National Committee, and says, "There is scarcely any dissent from the view that the basis of representation in conventions should be changed before the election." The president members of the party such as Senators Root and Crane, of the conservative wing, and Gov. Halley and Senator Cummins, of the liberal wing, that now is to set the party right before the people. Senator Cummins has planned to have a meeting of the progressive leaders of the party in Gardner to Be Chairman. "It is also understood that the courageous and combative Republican reformer, Representative Augustus L. Gardner, is an experienced andgressional Committee, and to aid in framing new weapons for Republican success. "The above executive committee meeting on Mr. Hilles, you will attend and certify that you are of superior fitness for giving advice and promoting proper action than yourself, such fitness arising from your canvass in 1912, your political wisdom, and your lifelong devotion and fidelity to the party you represent. "You will confidently appeal to you to begin the conferences by insisting that the Republican party in state and nation shall prepare for the coming conflict for the sake of the nation, and itself to renew its efforts for the enforcement everywhere under the flag, of the fifteenth amendment, which guarantees you only to vote of the colored citizen of the United States, and grass is bound to enact and enforce laws to protect, as the final condition upon which the civil war was to be ended and controversy between the sections to be Pledge to Enforce Amendment. "The question whether the Republican party will splege itself will at once arise at your conferences, and be made by the Constitution is either amended or wholly enforced. As surely as the propogation made to reduce the number of delegates to the convention how many nomination of a President by the next national convention, and to base the number of delegates on the number of Republican votes which have been cast in each state at the previous election determined effort will be made to deploy the vote how to fifteenth amendment. The giving of such pledge I hope you will earnestly understand that a change in the basis of representation in the convention to arise from the suppression of equal representation shall be a change in the basis of representation in the convention to vote at the polls in the Southern States shall be a change in the basis in connection therewith, whether the right to vote at the polls in the Southern States shall be a change in the basis in connection therewith, yet the proposed changes in the Northern States should continuously submit to the presence of 50 presidential electors based upon the colored people, and yet allow the votes of the colored people to be suppressed, seems incredible, but such is the case." "Whenever the effort shall be seriously made to exclude those opposed to the conventions expressed in the Republican conventions there will be quite a debate. The chairman of a committee of the national committee to consider the question of the conventions' history of the subject from that date to the conventions of 1988 and 1972, both of which decided not to make Inferences from the Platforms. "The convention of 1968 declared itself in emphatic terms in favor of the enforcement, in letter and spirit, of the decree that Mr. Taft, who went on to success. "The convention of 1812 said nothing on the subject; it only condemned lynchings and favored civic duty and renominated Mr. Taft, who went on to de "Nothing is of more importance than that the Republican party, about to reorganize for its own resurrection, shall tell why in 1912 it abandoned the amendment. Where did the twin Republican candidates personally stand? Let us have no equivocation in the future. The party from its organization in 1856 practically continued to control the government for a term of 50 years, down to 1912. If it now continues its previous allowances to the Democratic party of the 50 representatives and 50 electors, based upon suppressed colored votes, and confirms the suppression by formally depriving the 3,000,000 of suppressed voters of the privilege of representation in Republican national conventions, it will remain out of national power for a second term of at least 56 years. In recent days Republican leaders have seemed to lament because the American魅力和 have been black. How many of those leaders would have been famous or influential if the Negroes had been white? Yours truly," WILLIAM E. CHANDLER. Letter to Mr. Hilles. Mr. Chandler's letter to Mr. Hilles is as follows: "Washington, D. C., May 14, 1913. We are to hold a meeting of the Republican National Committee, of which I formerly had some knowledge. I do not know where we are to meet. The wise man of Chicago, but I take the liberty of sending you a copy of a letter from the vice president to a member of the national committee from New Hampshire.

The greatest outburst of modern times in the colored citizens of Ft.

The trouble started in Campbell's barbecue stand at Eighth and Calhoun, where Pete Soles was wounded by the Soles. Lee then went to McGar's pool hall, 911 Jones street, where he shot and killed Walter Moore, the former Patrolman he ran to Eighth and Grove streets, where he encountered Patrolman Ogletree.

The county jail was surrounded by a frenzied mob which clammed for the life of the man who left off. During the war, he was not in the jail, but had been sent to Dallas. The crowd, not being satisfied, sent a searching party into the jail to try and locate the hiding place of the prisoner. The committee reported that the police were not in the jail. In the meantime the negro business men had been visited by the assistant chief police and told to close up and go home, as they were expecting a remuneration at any minute.

Diamond Monroe, as usual, played all around second, and the whole tea mgave Col. Lindsay splendid support.

Regards to all friends. GRAND BENEFIT TENDERED FUNNY BILLY HIGGINS A monthlong benefit was tended Billy Higgins, for a year leading comedic theater in the beautiful Central theater, Atlanta, GA. The theater was turned over to Mr. King and that gentleman sprung a surprise, that will long be remembered by both theater-goers and cornermen in this section. The program was very elaborate and extensive, consisted of some of the leading colored artists in the business.

The Pekin was settled Tuesday night, the manager is making preparations to handle large larger than usual. Miss Frizzell Barton and her three picks had a very good singing, dancing and talking act; Rob- owell with a big minister from the closet look like the goods. They have a funny turn, good songs, a funny line of talk and a musical number for a closing that Notes. Miss Lucy Shepherd continues to attract with her bunch of new songs each week. The manager of the ePkin announces that from now on he will only book in first-class acts. Wallace and Green held the boards at the Pekin during the week of the strike. The names of the team are sufficient to bring people from all parts of the city. These two young ladies certainly have a classy act. Mr. Ed. Gaither has taken charge of the Turf cafe, his old stand, and has completely remodeled it. He will be pleased to meet all of his many friends of the profession when they are in the city. THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER. (Tim E. Owsly, Prop.) Manager Tim went to Louisville this week. He had his usual success in booking some salesmen. The bill this week has some surprisingly good numbers. They are a little different from the rest, but in the interest of variety. Among the men who have seen considerable service in the show business. His turn is very different and very good, especially his dance with an eighteen-year-old girl, many a woman would be proud to dance as he does. His female characterization is Ludell Price. Ludell Price is the holderover from last week, when she did a black-face comedy. She appears this week as a soloist, singing two splendid numbers, "Here Comes the Man." Miss Price is of splendid stage appearance. She knows the little arts, she knows the music, this is blessed with a splendid voice, which she uses to advantage. None of the singers in this class has most out on her work this, together with her fine singing ability, make for proper temperament for her work. Her costumes are well up, in keeping with proper temperament, managing personality on or off the stage. John Gertrude The old original John Gertrude is back at the Crown Garden after a tour of the old ologue display, some of which was just a trifle too classy for his hearers. He cracks someones eyes one few. He, however, made up by some hot ones that everybody knew. John Gertrude is good monologist, clear in his-talk and clean. His songs are 'I Am The Guy. The Guy.' Of these he done with a good ringing voice that carries to all parts of the house we live in, a humorous number which he puts over in a comedian-like way. 'I'm the king of rankings, ranking him easily enough as a good performer. Smith and Redmon. This team put on a little skit, and such as should be seen on screen. Of the three sons of vaudeville at the Keith house in this city, no bill has been without a father. The garden patrons can get used to it. In the play, Miss Redmon is the mother with one daughter. They live in the city, but the mother lives in the ter. Miss Smith, insists on leaving. She wishes to go to some larger place to join the swirl of a more modern society. The mother goes, leaving her mother in tears and sadness. She sings her sorrow in the beautiful song, *You At Home, Sweet Home*. The play is introduced by the song, "Stop Picking On My Life." The mother goes, leaving her mother by Miss Smith, who is the pick. The secton appearance is the leaving scene ten years after the incident, acted by Miss Smith, who is the pick. The secton appearance is the leaving scene ten years after the incident, acted by Miss Smith, who is the pick. As it happens so often the young miss returns, sick and tired of the world. She met the mother's welcome in a few minutes. Miss Smith now puts on "Snookey Ookums," a taking rendition that will applaud her voice as well known; one of the very best heard in our theaters. Miss Smith is as good as there is in a line of work-enter Jines and Hill. Jines and Hill are a very capable pair of performers. They know what to do and how to do. They use a dashing opening, singing "Ready Money" with appropriate steps. Miss Hill, known as "Little Bits" Hill, sang "Spooney Tooey, Loving Melody" in a pleasing way with a good voice. Miss Hill is a very pretty stage figure, looking particularly well in her very handsome costumes. Her steps are also pretty and taking Jines is a comedian, taking to his job. MISS HILL, MR. JINES. like an old timer, although scarcely mor. His dancing is fetching. They and only "Bucklehead" songs song for his reputation.

The audience shows appreciation for the work all through. He shows all the degrees of finished performers. Miller and Bigeou Stopped the Show- Fisk University Boy Makes Great Hit-Kinky Trio Close the Bill- Whirlwind Act at the Grand. (By Cary B. Lewis.) Special to THE FREEMAN. Messrs. Kline and Miller has the best bill this week we have ever seen at the Monogram. clean and classy, and packed with a Mr. Irwin Miller and Esther Bigeon open the bill.

Miller comes on with an old man song and dance, makes good music and works with the girls. Lee" and works up to her dance nicely. But where they really bring down the house is when they do the "Texas Tommy" dance. They are forced to bow and dance and with a wrist-wind orchestra dance the "Texas Tommy" as never seen along the stroll. The house goes into convictions, they are forced to bow and dance and then intelligent young man and with his brother has attended Fisk University. He was a very clever musician and sang in his shows with Miller and Lyles, he being a brother of Flouen Miller. There was a very clever monologue by him, he may have been there. His work is excellent. He does not move his foot—he's just got the goods. Brown and Brown is the best of them. Glide Good Enough and do some very artistic dancing. Kinky Trio, the three popular ladies, closed the bill, "Are You the One I Am?" and are the girls. They were a big screen and every one enjoyed the act. It would be a wise thing to have Miller and Bigge back next week, for we believe they have Tofette and Bennett opened the bill at the Grand this week. It was the biggest number on the bill. It was a dance of dream. The lady was dressed in tighter with this gong and had all over the stage like God. Tanguary. The act was a good one and was highly enjoyable. Williams and Sterling, in comedy singing and talking, was an act of music and splendid harmony. There was the return of the Five Laminatics, a school house. It was a riottous school act. The Victoria Four and the Dorlans are the closing numbers. The pictures were very good and the music by Mr. Peyton and his orchestra was an added feature. The Stroll. Miller and Lyles are in the city. They are the two young men who have over made good on the stage. Mr. Lyles has recently married to a fine young woman of Kentucky, Miss Baede Oliver. Miss Mable Lawrence is playing the piano at the Pekin Theater. Mrs. Rebecca Roper Allen, who was ill several days, is back to the Elmwood. Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Miller are at 3600 Wabash avenue. Prof. Kemper Herald, who has been at Atlanta Baptist College, will be in the city soon. He expects to give a recital this summer. The Danabegay, at Oakland Music Hall, May 29, will be held at the Mets' ballpark. Big star bills are on the program and a dance to follow with Prof. Garfield Wilson's orchestra to furnish the The bill here opened with Ruth Taylor, who went very nicely. Morris and Collins, a singing, dancing and talking act, went big. The Towels always get the attention. Carter closed the bill with some good songs, dialogues and swift dancing. The last half brought to light Helen Crawford, a real nice woman, who was heard from the Lincoln audiences. Thomas and Robils, as singers and dancers, were exceptionally good, and always is a scream. Charles Bougia, the Italian impersonator, was one great act. Wtts and Tyler, in their singing and comedy, went fairly well. Lafayette Theater. The Onri Troupe, novelty act, was a big hit here. Montgomery and Mack, as singers and dancers. Miss McClain looked very nice in her soldier suit, but to my opinion, she looked so much better in the garb of a girl, and very clever, although it seemed they were somewhat of a drawing card. Margaret May and Company, in their drama, were in a humorous intercourse in which humor and pathos were mingled, proved exceptionally good. Murphy and Francis in a comic duet, the Ball were good. It will be remembered that these people remained all week. No question should be asked as to the cleverness of the Griffin Sisters for they Reine, a white female impersonator, was very good—yes great. He wore a beautiful gown, and one could tell that he had years of experience which goes on. He had a new address. The Griffin Sisters made things lively from the opening of their act to the closing. Their audience was the special. This team held down the boards all week. Either of their numbers was worth the price of admission, the Lafayette theater was helping get the patrons in and seated. It seems he is thriving hard to please all his patrons. **Crescent Theater.** Miss Graze Johnson opened the bill. You will remember her as being one of the Lafayette theater's most centrally cultivated the Crescent audiences with her vocal selections. Abbott and Eicher (white) in their movie, which centrally cultivated the Francis Leacon (white). Indian club swinger, went well. Miss Mitchell's Company came to the bill. Her picks were good in their singing and dancing. Miss Mitchell's song added greatly to the act, making it a scream. Her bill brought Harry Rowan, character comedian, who did nicely, in Evans Sisters, who did nicely, in Bailey in his neat song and dance went fairly well. Miss Mitchell's Company again scored well. They were booked for the entire week, as well the last half as they did the first. The Lillard Pugh and Muse Stock Company is the big noise here, and each show they put on seems to be just what the people want. Julian Costello, a very clever female impersonator, was there to start the people talking. The Gum Drop Trio did fine in their act. The bill for the week was good in every respect. Family Theater. Miss Rose Fox and Picks, a great act. C. Bougia went nicely. William Bailey was fair. The Andersons were closed after the one day's work. George Hamilton went big. Clarice Wright just got by.

Trio from Georgia Rose Trio in a sketcher, a far comedy, went very nicely. Juniper and Carpenter were men, were a riot. Young men have the goods and know how to deliver them. 59th Theater.

BELMONT THEATER,' PENSACOLA, FLORIDA Berry and Washington have just closed two successful weeks at the Belmont theater, Pensacola Fl.

He was assisted by his wife, the niece, and Mr. Washington, Mr. Berry's partner, played the character of Cokten Haxley, which Clayborn Jones did the character of Moxie with the biggest closing acts that has ever been put on in this house.

Germood and Tyler, as usual, vocalized into favor, and were well rewarded by hearty applause, especially when the music of grand opera was utilized. Stafford and Legette introduced a number of specialties. Miss Legette might be termed the star of the musical comedy world, and she was heard to advantage in two songs that were favorites with her. She is stately and was band-somely gowned. Stafford assists in a little singing, some dancing, a few stories and witty remarks, which caught on immediately and made the house warm up to them. New, up-to-rate motion pictures and a good orchestra made the bill attractive. The promotion that attends this theater is true blue, as the house has been crowded all week, and the manager continues to smile. T. J.

CHICAGO SPECIAL REVIEW The Dekoven Thompson Song Recital program as Solist- Other Legal Briefs (By Sylvester Russell.) The song recital craze which meets with such good reward in Chicago, even if we apply to oversee, is its clear position in the organization, such institutions serve well for the cultivation of art by appropriation of its use to quench the sophisticated thirst of faculties so sweet. Bedded in the library of the doors on the 21st ultime, but people were turned away with tickets of admission. Delkoven Thompson is the young composer who won fame by setting music to the sounds of a violin which was immediately accepted by Mme. Schaumann-Heink. The solist was Mme. Marie Burton-Hyman and the care of the Thompson music was in her keeping for the rest of the year, peacefully resigned to the way she handled his compositions. There were twelve numbers in all given in two parts, and it was well as for Chicago that Freeman readers have the grateful and reliable opportunity to read sweetly told in vocal shadows which had no depth. In accompanying the singer Dr. Thompson showed that he was a master of the poetic aptitude of art, in a field of mediocrity. Of the program, Anderson's "When I Think of Home and You" was given with "When Tomgrow Comes" was unworthy when not given in ragtime, and I may have been more comfortable in junctionable in churches but rather the bad words and physical movements, and Mr. Thompson's song by Russell Smith and Mr. Alonzo A. Govern's "I Love You, Dean," was too retarded. Mr. Dearling was a trifle better. "I Miss You" gave signs of life, and I Remember Me." words the composer was rather sloven but touchingly beautiful. Two short poems by Alonzo Govern took place in Year 1952 and Year 1953. E-Fat showed culture in "Shouse" Mammys Angel" was given with an uneven, temporary Benjamin B. Blood" Your Heart" was given with too much force in aggritate. "If I Forget" was the second best poem in the collection and so slovenly opened, the chorus was brilliantly rendered, and I could see that Alfred Anderson, the cripple poet, who sat opposite him, the composer for vocal variety has been heard to better advantage both in oratorio and composer and too meager for vocal variety has been heard to better advantage both in oratorio and composer can feel highly gratified over their personal popularity. Johnnie Woods Takes Foremost Rank as a Ventrilogist. When Johnnie Woods made his first appearance at the Monogram a couple of weeks ago, little did the people think that he was a monogram. He really read gave him a hearty reception and turned out in large numbers. Of Woods I can safely say that as a ventriloquist he was a monogramist, his line of his own race, and his transposition is unexcelled by any of the prominent white artists, for it is in the context of the monogram of the vole which makes the art of ventriloquism great. While his southern dialect is polished for his native section, for his home is in Memphis. His Tennessee pronunciation of a haunted house was better than his northern education. His dialogue was unprecedented and his singing voice was perfect. Bradford, the Aviator, Arrives to Sign for a Motordome and Jiffy Trip. Fred Larance Bradford, the aviator, the owner, he bought a half interest from Fred H. Gant in the Fashion Cafe. Sullivan and Considine's International Amusement Co. he made a balloon ride.

For nature, has reared you thus, And molded your large brown eyes; But don't mind mongers who fuss, Nor ignore to be wise. Why look so morbidity sad? Your cheeks now hollow with care; Take heart, my dear, and be glad; Some one who loves you is near. Child of a dream, be wise; The heart is far away; Your rescue's beyond the skies, where torment will end some day. NOTES. Sylvester Russell, who was to address the Bethel Literary Society of Chicago, died in the death of his best friend's wife, Emma May Williams, Samuel O. Williams, who had been a teacher known professionally as "Billy Williams, the Frog Man," and when he retired from the stage he offered Mr. Russell a home in Chicago. The funeral of Emma May Williams, who was to be buried in Robinson, of St. Mark's church, officiated, and a soloist of the choir rendered "I will be with you at Mr. Glennwood in a private plot." A large white star which stood on a pedestal inscribed "wife," was the gift of Mr. Russell from Mr. Wm. Carr, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. George Pick, Mr. and Mrs. Winfrey was once on the stage for a short time with her husband. The team was known as Williams and for Mrs. Winfrey, the retirer, friends lavished. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Prampin and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Clermonts were among their actor companions. SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING. (By S. Tutt Whitney.) I journeyed to New York to hear the concert given by the famous Clef Club and Symphony orchestra, under the direction of James Reese Europe. The entertainment was all that could be desired and reflected great credit upon Mr. Europe and the many musicians that compose the club. I venture to say that the Clef Club will rank with any similar white organization in the country. The best received numbers on the program were the Clef Club march, composed and conducted by James Reese Europe; "Maori," an intermezzo, composed and conducted by Wm. H. Tyers; "La Rumba," El danzon sociadal, composed and directed by Tim Brym, and "Swing-a-long," composed by Will Marion Cook. The large Manhattan Casino was filled to its utmost capacity with the elite of New York colored society. Many whites were in attendance. J. Homer Tutt and your correspondent occupied Box 32 as guests of Mrs. Alda Overton Walker. Mr. S. H. Dudley is a man of marked versatility, not only does he rank as one world, a pioneer in the management of colored vaudeville, and a prince of good fellows, but he is the most experienced automobile driver in the country. After driving from New York to Philadelphia with Mr. Dudley in his cute little car, he met the sweet sight that happened to be in front of us, even our shadows. We made the trip in the car, and we pretied to be pried out of the auto and received a generous dose of stimulants. I was able to thank Mr. Dudley for a delightful trip. The Negro Players, headed by Alex Rogers and S. C. Creamer, opened at the asheville in a musical comedy entitled "Father." The players deserve credit for attempting something different from the general trend from start to finish and delighted the large audience present. Andrew Copeland and Harriet Gillipn, the choruses, composed entirely of amateurs, was especially good in the dancing numbers. The stage is under the control of Clas Gilpin, of Fokin theater fame. Gibb Young, who built the beautiful Young's Casino, in New York, is once called a dead one in the Standard theater, Philadelphia, and bids fair to make it a howling success. If he keeps up his work, he will give the audience very best that the colored and white vaudeville markets afford, there is no reason why the standard should not be considered. Mr. Young is fearless, energetic and possesses bulldog tenacity. Failure in one direction only makes him strive the harder for the standard. He is unanimous support of the colored theatrical-going public. Vaudeville houses may come, and vaudeville houses may go, but the Circle theater means to so on forever. Theaters left of him, theaters behind and in front of him, theaters behind and in front of him never all off. We must give credit to the managerial ability of George Bundy, and the generosity of Mrs. Anne Segal. Mr. Andrew Thomas, successful manager of the Howard theater, Washingtoon, drew the-Ubiquitous. Wherever a successful vaudeville entertainment is given in whatever city in the East, there one patron will always be the alert for some new and novel feature to offer his patrons at the Howard theater. SALEM TUTT WHITNEY AND J. HOMER TUTT Will Star the Smart Set Company. Chas. E. Barton has chosen Messrs. Salma Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt to star the Smart Co. for the coming season. Mr. Tutt will be now bussing写 a two-act musical comedy, entitled "The Wrong Mr. President.", "show will be elaborately staged and the costumes will be gorgeous. There will be twenty musical numbers, written by T. L. Corwell, Whitney and Tutt, and directed." The company will be the strongest it is possible to secure, and will play the principal cities of the North and South. Chas. E. Barton will be the propleter; T. Salma Tutt, manager, and E. H. Nye, advance manager. NOTES OF JONES' DIXIELAND MINSTRELS. (By Claiborne White.) The company played this city week of May 5 to a fine business and the people who attended. The company return date.

When the curtain was rung down on Dr. Beans from Boston on Monday, the theater a t Philadelphia, Mr. Dudley bid farewell to the stage and his many admirers, to commence his career as an active owner, booking agent and promoter of a chain. In the retirement of Mr. Dudley the stage loses the greatest comedian of the modern school. His career was not of the kind of comedian to number of stage celebrities. His success and popularity were gained by hard study and conscientious work, and at all times avoiding the swell end, which has generated of so many shattered would-be stars. Mr. Dudley had one valuable asset—originality—and it proved his first starring opportunity, he had to follow that starring actor—or comedian, the late and lamented Earl Owen, who was the first to star the Smart Set succeeded later by the famous minstrel, the late Tom McIntosh. Owing to the latter's dureremie, the late Owen owner of the Smart Set show, to make a hurried call for a comedian to fill the vacancy, he took scanning of the Smart Set much left for Mr. Hill to choose from, as at that time Ernest Hogan had become the star of the show, rather at the head of their own company; and Johnson starring, forced Mr. Hill to make the best out of anything that could be seen, was secured after much dickering as Dudley had only the reputation of a minstrel man about that time. Mr. Hill was in "King Rastus"—but Dudley in "King Rastus"—but Dudley rus commenced on the performers, all knocking Dudley, saying what can he do? He has only been in the tanks. He won't be knocked, remarks as knockers generally tadgle in. I had seen Dudley doing an act in vaudeville at the Chicago Opera House with Dudley Kelly. I was so impressed with Dudley's originality that I published his picture with a write-up in the Magazine of Buffalo, N. Y., edited by James A. Ross, which I think was the first picture ever published of him. On joining the Smart Set Mr. Dudley was many obstacles. He had never seen Hogan or McIntosh as George Washington Bullton, which was the role he had to play. The manager and the straight man were worried very much about how Dudley would handle the part, and instead of them letting Dudley study his lines, they kept telling him how Hogan did this and how McIntosh did that. Mr. Dudley paid all attention to their instructions. After the first performance was over the manager came to Dudley's dressing room and complimented his work without mentioning Hogan's or McIntosh's names. A few days later Mr. Hill paid the company a visit especially to see his new star-Dudley. After seeing Dudley act, Mr. Hill spoke to him, asking him had he ever seen Hogan or McIntosh. SHERMAN H. DUDLEY. answered that he had not, and in serious tones Dudley told Mr. Hill that he joined the show to play the character of George����伦的Jogger, or McIntosh. Mr. Hill was so astonished at such frank remarks that he immediately signed Dudley for five years. After the expiration of the contract he passed the contract to a large number of salary and other favorable conditions. Season after season Dudley has shown himself to be a creative comedian. Many of the performers were so happy to take note for themselves, but I waste their time trying to do what Dudley or Williams are getting big money for. They would be willing to make a more than a production worth of his genius. One must ponder over the personal sacrifies of a man who has not lost his love for the stage, but he has been actuated through his great race pride and loyalty to his brothers and sisters who are working for the stage and work in the stage conditions. The most make conditions are congenial for them to get work, as it is a well-known fact that very little encouragement is being given to such people. The colored acts doing big time don't average three a week, and with the large number of Negro acts on the market Mr. Hill has committed to make it possible In attempting to organize a chain of theaters he must have the support of the entire Negro profession, as they will rearrange West, North and South all working harmoniously together. There is one great obstacle that the performer must remove from the theater, the hawkeye prices for their services. They will play house that caters to whites and blacks, and they must them to play a Negro house, they don't hesitate in asking an exorbitant price. They don't stop to consider that most of the atmospheres are beginning to get darker and better especially in the East. The Howard Theater at Washington, D. C., the most pertinent theater in under the Negro standard. The Theater Philadelphia is now under Negro management; New York now boasts of its 1,500 white white management. Lafayette white management has its former policy and is now looked upon as a Negro enterprise. St. Louis Jr. Charles Turpin has commenced to build a 1,500-capacity theater. The Crown Hotel at indianapolis five戏剧s, all owned by the white people catering exclusively to the Negro patronage. Cincinnati has a Negro theater—the Palm. And a white company is about to open a new one, catering to the Negroes. Cleveland and Columbus, the two largest cities in best appointed houses in the country is located at Louisville, Ky. This is owned by Mr. Dudley, who has great faith in Louisville and will give them something they have been asking for—a first-class theater. In Chicago at State and Thirty-fifth streets, is opened, it will come nearer being a Negro enterprise than any other in that city. It will be entirely equipped with Negro attaches. With Mr. Dudley booking these houses, from ten to twenty consecutive weeks at fair salaries. As it is now, Negro vaudeville performers don't get bookings only from ten to twenty circuit will be all-wise. Stands no solids. Now, the success of the Dudley venture company, the Dudley Negro, as Mr. Dudley has launched a proposition thata pleains to no class as much as to the Negroes. They must be given the opportunity to come when they must look to the Negro theater if they wish to remain in the profession as a Negro as their salvation. Single handed he is attempting something that means so much more than a living on the American stage. I hope that every lady and gentleman will give Mr. Dudley their co-operation, for withholding the Dudley's noble efforts have been wasted. VON BEHREN PLEADS GUILTY; IS SENTENCED Slayer of Evansville Negroes Is Ar ranged Quietly Because of Mother's Serious Illness EVANSVILLE Ind.—Allen VonBrenn who shot and killed three Negro workmen in his factory on February 8 last, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in one case and was sentenced to two twenty-one years in the "reformatory" at the hospital. He was taken to Jeffersonville, VonBrenn's trial was set for Thursday, a special venue of 100 names had been drawn and a special judge, William Blakey, had been named, Circuit Judge Given being incapacitated from presiding. Quite unexpected to the general public. VonBrenn, who was the first man-daughter of his old, was brought into court at 4:30. His attorneys withdrew their special pleas of insanity and self-defense. Presecuting Attorney Sappenfield dismissed the indictments of first and second degree murder for the killing of John Gordon, and the plea, guilty of manslaughter was entered and accepted. It is said the breakdown of his mother, who has not been out of the house since the murders, and who became worse at the approach of the trial, determined the defense to plead guilty to manslaughter to spare her. The defense was confidently required on the special plea of Insanity. The crime, on February 8, shocked the city. Cousin Behrens, 68, of Beverly, Calif., a quality manufacturer of carriage wood stock and who was timekeeper and assistant superintendent for the city's fire department, started, drew two automatic pistols from his pocket and started through the face. He first shot John Gordon, then Henry Winton, and then William Winton, all colored employees. They died he. He then kills father's automobile drove to police station and surrendered. He then joined the league to "gang" him because of reports against their work and that they had decided to kill him that day. He said he had killed them or they would have killed him. The other indictments against Von Behrens, the gunman, and murderer of Henry Gordon and Walter Washington. NASHVILLE. TENN. Madam Ella Goodie, who has been very sick is out again.

Kanard faced an opening, which soon same, and with a right cross Snead landed on Kanard's jaw with such force that the after went down like a log and took the Why Colored Ball Players Are Not Doing Any Good. Starting Editor of The Freeman: Dawn Sir I saw a piece in your paper a few days ago about colored ball-players not doing any good. I will tell you the reason why, and I speak from experience. Young ball players of the child are at all, old ball players of colored ball players. "The old heads like Chappy Johnson, former catcher for the St. Louis Giants, and many more whom I could name, don't like to see a younger make good, and they do all they can to keep them down. They do not seem to realize that they few years they will be� back numbers. I know many young men who are just as good and some who are better than most of the old heads. Why don't Rube Foster take them and give them a chance? Look at the white managers they take a young fellow and let me know anything." "I'd like to go to the St. Louis Giants, and for a tryout with the St. Louis Giants, Louisville Cubs, wrote to West Baden and a few more of the clubs, and what do you get? They tell you that you are too light. And the very club has been turned into Brown, I know played the ballers who were with the Louisville Tigers we beat the Louisville Cubs, and then took the first game away from St. Louis in 1912, yet we were youngsters. Let the old heads allow the young heads a show and then you will see better ball players of the colored ball. I can't know if I'd like to play Johnson, C.D., and I'm a The stilts would like to bear from Tiger's Tiger, St. Louis Giants or any fast team in the state.

CHICAGO)—"Once a fighter always a fighter, but a fighter is often quartered by the pugilistic man. It is true it takes the fighting instinct to make a fighting man, and parachuting in any class, and one of the hardest things in the world to find is a pugilist who doesn't like the game, one who owes him, one after having gained some success in the road arena, have turned to other lines of coedavoir and met with a fair amount of prosperity. Of boxing is an ample evidence of one thing, and that is that the great majority of fighting men are good boxing but fighting against pugilists who have been fortunate enough to garner a sufficient amount of shekels through their prowess to enable them to enter some And that "business career" in nine less out of ten has been in a sort where $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. END NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of rigor, weakened muscles, lack of strength, back brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has caused so many worm and nervous men and their own homes—without any additional power to cure them, every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and should have a copy. So I have determined that the cure of the disease free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who wakes me for it. This pro heiap comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surest combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to ask them a copy in confidence, so that any anywhere who is weak and discouraged dragging himself with harmful patient medicines, secure what I believe is the one-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT therapy, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: E. Robinson, 3831 Building, Dartmouth, Moh., and I will send you a copy of the treatment package in ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 for merely writing out a prescription thus—but I send it entirely free. real business sagacity was not required. Their efforts in the game of pugilism had taken a knowledge of anything and the result has shown that most boxers stick in their chosen profession until the are earnest as attractions and can learn the easier business as battles or the small money because they go for no other line of business, and finally winding up with an inglorious finish through defiance. Two second raters is not more important. They have been followed that path and undoubtedly there will be many more. The most striking examples of the type just mentioned. Incidentally, it happened that the yare both members of the same division and also that they bitterly mocked each other out of the lightweight championship and started him down the toboggan for the defender at least because reason for the matter exists. Today other is also an ex-champion and has started down the same old toboggan. Battling Nelson is one and Adopli Wolgast Nelson's case certainly is a typical one for his pusillistic career (mor the time he was a junior), and his tenure time has been one long series of batting. He always has been a fighter, unlike some of the others in his class who were more focused on science and scientific ability. For more than twelve years this rought and ready Dane wrung along, fighting everybody who was there, and he was the honors he was seeking—the world's lightweight championship. Winning or losing in that dunk earns him a reputation, and he received much grilling punishment as well as administering it. When he was in the game he took one better than the other, and he didn't much grilling punishment, but It didn't stop Bat, for fighting was the only game he really knows, the battle in question was only a six in the box, and he was fought in Chicago at the old Star theater in 1950. In six rounds were over the Durable Dane had assimilated a beating that was fierce in the extreme. No fewer than a dozen times a left or right man landed on Nelson's jaw and he went down, and he was not enough for the official to count him out, and the best that official could do when the bout went the limit was to give the Headmark never made much of a ripple of the pugilistic stream, but he was one of the few who had the main delight was mixing matters. However, Headmark was "through" because he mainly started to show championship caliber. When that kind of a fight will not stop, he will have to become a man and Bat had many more tough ones before he became boss of the light-heavyweights. He was old colored master, Joe Gars, for forty-two rounds at Goldfield, only to be declared the loser on a foul. He knew he had been in a battle when he quit the game, and the Gans and took the title away from the Batman. As a champion Nelson met the aspirants for his crown as fast as they came along until one day he ran into a Wolfgang. Wolfgang was credited with being the winner, although it was one of those no-nonsense chase games. He followed between these two boys and saw Wolfgang triumph after a little chased hands in that mill and when the Dane left the ring the contour of his face had actually been knocked sideways by the steamy punches of the Michigan For three years Nelson has been an exchampion, an arsenal enough, is his best weapon, and the world's good as he may need for the rest of his life, he is still fighting because he prowls the field, and he is not as good than anything else. He is traveling from one end of the country to the other andighting as often as he can make matches, and he is always beating a beating nearly every contest. The other night he went six rounds against a champion, and emerged from the ring with a cut under one of his eyes and a badly wounded Wogst is a kid in the ring compared with Nelson, but in his time he has had the honor of winning a world's championship and losing it so long ago as the championship called, called "p巩ismil" took the title away from Michigan. The fact that Wogst has through disqualification wouldn't be necessary indicate that Ad had gone back, and that he is not the event and events since that time, make it apparent that losing by a foul was about the easiest, and that Wogst could have been the winner. Losing the title wasn't any signal to Wolgast to quit the game, and since time he has had two battles, both of them with Harper Murphy of New York. Both were (ouch) struggles, the first being a draw, while in the second Murphy had a win. The third was a punch, the only time the referee could do was to award the decision to Harlem Tommy. He threw three bouts spelled a quick finish for a champion, but Wolgast is not through with the game just yet. He intends to play again. Like Nelson, Wolgast has gathered a lot of money while in the fighting game and could retire on it now for the rest of his days. But the chances referee to make matches for him. CHAMP JACK STRUCK BELOW THE STRUCK Federal Court Delivers the Blow—Prosecutor Admits He Was Fouled—Meant It That Way—Says Jack Will Be Counted Out. (By Billy Lewis.) The worst has happened to Jack Johnson as if very much feared, and as so many of his friends feared. It is not so much to say that it does appear as if he has been a very bad person. He has had crawled to their respective holes leaving him lugging alone his cross to the new Golgory's space. It is the conservation of human society, when operating among men in its rightful sphere. In all cases men have been off-mission to the world in the mid-night submission—good men to reverence and adoration. The judiciary of a country is the most respected phase, dealing with that which most of them are clerks. Men's life, as it is, is it should be so. More respect attaches to supreme courts than to heads of governments. It is because they are made up almost with all the good people who are the most well-known expression, if we may speak of judgship as a profession. The bench is not entrusted to careless men. This is in keeping with a time of history. The Biblical says how and in the interest of security. Few times only have those of such great authority bemeaned their exalted stations, and when this occurs the rightful group of men and the world and the others, the maladministration were registered bold and bright—that he was not a man. The point is that the men of the country are unconfident in opinions of the event we do feel the balter draw. We want to know that it is drawn tight about our guilty necks, and not tight about necks that are innocent. All of the foregoing may seem far fetched to the Jack Johnson case. But let us see what the attorney Harry Parkins had to say, the man who assisted in the prosecution. The honorable Harry said, "The verderid will be with you. The governor of laws he passed in the United States which we may live to see—laws forbidding miscegement. This Negro, in his own words, is the most important Perhaps as individual he was. But his misfortune is to be the foremost example of the evil in permitting the intermarriage and blacks in marriage, the law, his function to teach others the law must be respected." So poor. Negro, Jack Johnson, was not THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER JACK JOHNSON. JACK JOHNSON. being prosecuted for being good to Belle Schreiber—O, so good—but persecuted for marrying his white wives. Mr. Harry said so, and he, one will think, is an honorable man. Perhaps this is the first time in the history of the country where a federal court officer has given it out that a prosecution was not based on the charges preferred, that a race prejudice was the underlying motive of the prosecution; that it was in the interest of the race division. All of this is appalling in view of the soureef romwhich it came. Judge Carpenter completed this iron bed of Pleistratus, when he said that the "character of the prosecuting witness must not be considered." Says he further: “The fact that the prosecuting witness is a discarded mistress, an abandoned woman, does not affect the issue in this case.” And then this far fetched assertion: We have had many unfortunate people here in this case—trainers, fighting camp hangerson and women of the underworld—but because of their status in life their evidence must not be disliked. This is all meant to read the Belle Schreiber case rightfully in the indictment, a thing not intended by the law. If the other cases are cited, where men have been convicted and sentence been convicted, the Marble one will be anything similar to the Belle Schreiber affair. Here was a woman living with a man as her husband. She was carried about the country and introduced as Johnson's wife, at least, it was so understood. He sends her money oodles of money, more money than most Negroes. In the case, and it is, the meaning of the law. I am basing my judgment on Mr. Mann's sound sense, that his law was conceived to correct a well-known abuse, that of deceiving innocent, unsuspecting women into houses of dispute, or decoying them to assignments of which they were not aware, and not to interrupt the events of the sale of the property. It is assumed that the world, when moving about with a full knowledge of what they are doing. Any money at all that goes to them will be considered questionable whether to move one square or forty squares, and those who furnish it are just as reprehensible as Johnson. It is not as clear as it is to such intent is included in the context of the law. In a judge said again: "It is as much an offense under the Mann act to transport a hardened woman as an innocent girl. It is not necessary that a person accused of violating the actions to receive a profit through transportation of a woman." Johnson's attorney rightfully contended that the right of an individual to go from place to place "cannot" be denied. Johnson said that he did not invite the woman to Chicago, and especially he did not have to be named. He told Johnson should have asked her to Chicago without stating a purpose he clearly had that right. He might send and invite the Queen of Sheba, and if she don't want to come, let her stay at home. Johnson beat the case to a frazzle, it is very evident to see. It may be thought best not to be so plain spoken. I thought so myself; but what's the use. Notice is served on the whole race that it is to go way back and sit down, and if they say so it must be done. In a good New York case, I might not be right. But that if it's just as well to let folks know why we are going way back and sit down. If we are going, it won't hurt anything to tell about it. If Jack Johnson must go to prison it is up to someone to tell what it is about. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again. The thousand years of God are here. The race still insists it has no desire to intermarry. What more? White folks are not the ones to be dom, and who are the snarlings unless it be the individuals? The white people, the women and captains of the soul, the men and the women of the pulsion to even speak to Negroes in a social way. We have our churches and schools, we have our churches. What ever happens is purely voluntary. It is to be hoped that the government will not be put in the umbrella light of the law, and we depend on save a Japanese expulsion from California, a move in consonance with the spirit of our land, and in forest in Jack Johnson, Negro, seeing him in the best light possible.

Do not overlook the fact that it takes two to make a quarrel. Small critics are magnified at the attention. Wise men ignore them. A hungry literate isn't regarded as much of an economic success as a prosperous bricklayer. Some of the things that are happening these days do not "look good"—not even to the most pronounced optimist. One of these days some literary Luther Burbank may be able to develop a poet who is also a first-class businessman. Santo Domingo, Bahia, Asunción, Santos and Nicaragua have had Negro consuls. Why may not Negroes again be persons grata at these ports? The 1914 session of the National Negro Business League goes to Muscogee, Okla., one of the principal centers of Negro thrift, industry and wealth in all this land. Dr. Booker T. Washington's dash along the eastern shore of Virginia added another brilliant clear to his already long story of the credible aspiration and happy achievement. Haiti has another new president, but our American minister, Dr. Henry Wurpirs, goes on forever, immune to revival, to graduate, to pay more money to make a life, but not to make a living. The young folks find out enlong that they must make both if they would make either. Dr. Wurpirs says man is at his best at sixty. This theory will prove more acceptable than the one that puts a man out of the game at forty. Nevertheless, a man will continue to be as old as he feels, and his efficiency at any age will depend upon circumstances beyond the control of his sages. Dozens of brilliant young men are living to thank the spoils hunting politicians who "fired" them from the government state. They are now "top-notchers" in law, state, education or business, by reason of being cut off of an official payroll in addition to make to their God-given abilities. Assuming that the masculine-attired lady has been correctly quoted, it looks like the queer such an friend of the queer and pastime Dr. Marie Walker advocating the segregation of the Negroes in the government departments, and the white people, and many of our old champions have charged with them. There should be no rivalry between the city and the country. The country supplies its its food and the city furnishes its furniture. New York and country co-operate for the good of all. Maybe the next time a southern state attempts to pass a grandfather clause, for the express purpose of overriding the constitutional amendment prohibiting disregard of the city's customs, etc., the federal government will take a leaf from the California incident and induct its own countrymen, knows but that the desire to retain the good will of the Japanese will establish a president in some day bring good luck. Isn't the Japanese will of the black man worth cultivating? General Joseph L. Jones, supreme vice-chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and prominently identified with a number of other leading fraternities of the race, is inaugurating a determined fight against the bills pending in congress, designed to restrict the use of the mails to colored organizations which bear names already in the new white annotations, such as: Masons, Elks, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, etc. He is in correspondence with the presiding officers of every Negro fraternity in the several states and will have prepared through them a monster petition against the passage of such a measure. This pemonstrance, signed by thousands of influential citizens in every community, will be presented to congress. In the same month in both branches of the Knights of Pythias, he agreed to help the Negroes to prevent the adoption of this revolutionary proposition. A "battle royal" is in prospect, and the outlook for the success of Gen. Jones's vigorous and timely campaign is very bright. Gen. Jones is editor of The Pythian Monitor, published at Cincinnati, is president of the Central African Union, is president of the same place, and is first vice-president of the National Negro Press Association.

SHOOTS MAN IN BACK; THEN FIRES TWICE MORE HOUSTON Texas—Hurrying home to his wife, who lay ill from the effects of recent operation, Alex Jackson, fifty, a Negro, residing on the Leland avenue road, was shot and fatally wounded in a lively attack at the home of W. E. Garland, the first home being taken to the Houston Infirmary and was removed to the Westheimer morgue. It is said that the shooting followed several threats that Carter had made to him, and in account of the very last transaction, in an anti-mortem statement made to Dr. Sidney J. Smith Jackson said that he had just stepped from a Leland car and was hurrying home. He was accused by Carter who ordered him to be in the same way as he was to speak to him. Jackson replied that he didn't have the time to stop, as he was on his way to his home. He passed on him a Carter, pulling a gun, and the gun was sent to the ground. The Negro fell to the ground beginning Carter to desist, but Carter shot him twice more. Jackson's statement is also borne out by the fact that there were two bullet holes in the small of his back and two through the side side. Carter was arrested immediately after the shooting and charged with assault to kill which charge was changed to murder after the death of Jackson. He was released on $5,000 bond by Justice Crooker. Serious men went on his bond and he Jackson has resided in Houston a long time, having been yardman for D. Sidney J. Smith, 1316 Traviss treet, for the past 20 years. He was shot by Carter is said to have stated that he killed Jackson in self-defense, after the Negro had reached for a gun, but no such weapon or any weapon of any sort was found. The police was picked up, according to the police. ONCE TRIED, ALWAYS USED. THE BAR-KEEPER'S "FRIEND" TRADE MARK FOR.
