Walker of Indiana, Ind., the race's best kni- nail cultist, concluded a ten days sojour- nus to this city. The nation's capital has myriads of placemasters within its holders in the course of a year, but no woman has ever come to Washington and made a more profound impression in short, time than has this wonderful business genius from the Hoosier met- ronals. Like Caesar, she came, she conceived activity within her quaintances and making hosts of new ones. Madame Walker's itinerary and about Washington was a veritable march The madame, in company with Miss Alice P. Kelley, her assistant (formerly Alice P. Kelley, college, Cune Springs, Ky), and her private chauffeur, Mr. Homer West, motor-vehicle company, New York City, thence to Philadelphia, to extend the fourteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, to attend the annual Pythian encampment at Baltimore, and finally reaching the capital. The madam owns $3,000, and the power of costing over $3,000, and the power of costing the chine is shown in the fact that it traveled on all kinds of roads, kinds of buildings, a breakdown of any character. She is the soul of the city, with reference to this city comfortably, and since leaving home she has invited all classes and conditions of the clergymen, statesmen, journalists, society people, old folks and little children out for long and joyous days by church and by day. The car is naturally an MADAM C. J. WALKER. easy rider rider, and the smotoh asphalt streets of Washington and the ne roads hereabouts made the trips a source of unhoyed pleasure. "The Negro Woman in Business." Mme. Walker is essentially a business woman, and no matter where she goes or on whatever errand, she takes business on whatever occasion. She has the philosophy of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and never loses an opportunity to emphasize to her sisters the importance of acquiring a footing in the soil, making themselves financially independent, and setting an example for all people. She has the authority to instruct her application of their mental training. While here, through the courtship of the woman, she calls by which she sets great stores on "The Negro Woman in Business: not less than twenty churches on the First Baptist church, including the session of the Lott Care Baptist Missionary association, which sat here last the First Baptist church of Georgetown. Mme. Walker, who has built up from the bottom a manufacturing business, has introduced an income of $3,900 million and $1,500 million of colored men and women, is delivering these addresses throughout the country in a view of encouraging the women of the church to honorable as this work unites and kitchen—and to aspire to a place in the world of women. She argues that they should begin at once to turn their talents into channels of the business and are doing and develop enterprises that will yield larger financial returns. She own her own life story as an object lesson. Mme. Walker's Life Stories. Eight years ago Mme. Walker was a laudress and cook at $9 per week in Denver, Col. She discovered a formula she she found by personal use would grow she has in large warehouse or bookstore the texture. Embarking in business there on a capital of $1.50, and later changing her location to Indianapolis, to own a national market, she now owns a $10,000 home in that city, and has recently given a similar piece of property to her daughter in New York city she has in large factory, and bookseller, employing bookkeepers, clerks, stenographers, chaufeur, maid and facade and household helpers. she has now acquired the 1,000 agents, various sections of the country who are taking good money, giving treatments and selling her preparations. One a lady, a man, and has been with Mme. Walker three years ago, she brought over $00; the second year she took in over $80; and for the ten years she present year her books show receipts she has been said. Mme. Walker's monthly income averages $3,000; and, liberal as is in giving to educational and philanthropic causes, she pays taxes on property valued at not less than $50,000. She gave the first $1,000 to the building fund of the colored Y. M. C. A. at Indianapolis, where she is instructing an endowment for a college in Liberia. She is president of the Lilia College at Indianapolis, where she is instructing an endowment, letting others into her methods, that they may spread the good work she has done much to relieve individual need among the poor she meets from time to time. Washington pastors, to whom Mme. Walker feels particularly indebted for an opportunity to speak to the people of Indianapolis, to whom Mme. A. E. Zion gin. of Mt. Carmel Baptist church; Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, of the Cosmopolitan of Friendship Baptist church; Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, of the Second Baptist church; Dr. E. B. Ricks, of the First Baptist church; Dr. W. J. Howard, of Hawkins, of the Vermont Avenue Baptist church; Dr. W. J. Howard, of the Metropolitan A. M. z. church, and Rev. Aquila Sayles. Mme. Walker was ably assisted in a number of her meetings, silver-tongued orator and truthern worker, and Miss A. P. Kelley her indefatigable traveling companion. Social Functions and Sight-Seeing. Social functions and sight seeing filled in the leisure moments of Mme. Walker and her party while here. She and Miss Kelley were the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, 1337 Wallach Place, N. W. A whistle party by the host and hostess marked the close of their visit. The players included, besides those mentioned, Mrs. and Mrs. Daniel Freeman, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Buckner, Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. George Hartzfield, Mrs. Arlington B.

Walker left Saturday for the National Baptist Convention at Nashville, Tenn., and used her mammoth t-rung car for the journey. Another Star in Dr. Washington's Crown. Word comes that the Knife and Fork Club, of South Bend, Ind., has invited Dr. Booker T. Washington to be the chairman of the team to tober 18. There are plenty about a half dozen knife and fork clubs in the entire United States, and it is well known that they are very exclusive organizations, and they are not the ones these clubs, so far as is known by your correspondent, that a colored man has been invited to be its guest. This is a fact that is not foremost representative, and it is not doubted that the best side of our people will be shown to a company that has the best equipment and the most many ways. The honor is also another star on the crown of Dr. Washington, which already glistens with numerous courtesies at the hands of the most distinguished factors in American and European life. "Echoes of the Business League" Heard Locally. At its regular monthly meeting Monday night at the Twelfth Street branch division of the National Washington division of the National League listed to "echoes from the Philadelphia session", and elected officers for the ensuing year. Daniel Freeport, the executive director, is the efficient leader of the local business forces, was unanimously re-elected president, the other officers are: Vice President, John Montgomery, recording secretary, J. G. Montgomery, contractor; correspondent secretary, Mrs. Jean Davis, modiste; treasurer, Mrs. Jean Davis, modiste; treasurer, organizer, B. T. Montgomery, lawyer; sentinel, Miss Agnes J. Smith, modiste; chaplain, John W. Lewis, banker; chairman, committee, George Walton, caterer. The "echoes" told the history of the activities of the Washington delegation at the Philadelphia meeting and the reaction of the American Congress to the praise of Dr. Booker T. Washington as a race champion and how he has made each of the fourteen sessions of the Ne-dleships. The meeting was also a very important event, and had preceded it. The Washington delegation, numbering about fifty, went over in a special coach, and was a prominent face in all that took place in the Convention. In the same sense, the spoke encouragingly of "Business Progress Among Washington Negroes," and Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman responded, self-disciplined, and, as a result, was welcome to the social league at Philadelphia. R. W. Thompson presided over the National Negro Press Association, which held a two days' session immediately preceding the national league meeting. Mr. Thompson declined reflection as president, but remains as the executive committee. He was presented with a gold mounted fountain pen and a volume on the race problem, in recognition of his service to the American Nation. Dr. W. H. Davis acted as official stenoz-rapher for the league and engrossed for the Hon. John Wanamaker a transcript of the exercises in the Egyptian room. He was also a member of the League visited at the invitation of the merchant prince. John W. Lewis, president of the Mechanics and Laborers' Industrial Savings Association, was the president of the Colored People's and Henry E. Baker, of the United States Patent Office, gave statistics, concerning "The Negro as an American Nation." Dr. John Wanamaker visited University, analyzed "Education as a Factor in Business Success." Hon. J. C. Napier, registrar of the treasury, served as chairman of the executive committee, and was a National Librarian. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1913 BACK TO COLLEGE.

All of these made reports of their impressions gleaned from their interviews, and the thousands of visitors that had flocked there from nearly every state in the Union. Betheltee was appointed to arrange for a public meeting in the interest of the local league, in connection with the Bethel Literary and Historical Association. The next meeting of the national league will be held at Muskogee, Okla., and steps will be taken at once to insure a good chance of Washingtonians that meeting. Lawyer Jones Stirs Audiences in Canada Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, a recognized leader at the bar of the District of Columbia, was born in 1862, born in 1863, and is now in Canada and points in the United States with his sunbre eloquence, while on his recent vacation. At Toronto, to which he was born, he was a member of the National Association, Mr. Jones spoke to crowds on a Sunday at two of the principal churches of that city, and held the people spellboard with a thrilling voice. He was a member of the National Association of Red citizens of the United States, sparing no detail of the mob violence, the pillage of the ballot box, Jim crow carriement, and the clumsy way in which he was killed. He accommodated and other harrowing discriminations that annoy and embarrass him. He was a member of the National Association, and showcasing an education, culture, business, professional life and in the acquisition of property-owning. In the years from 1862 to 1865, he was a member of all obstacles, over $700,000,000 in actual, tangible property—a record not duplicated by any other. This and other salient features of the race problem aroused his hearers to a high pitch of excitement, and there was a great deal of interest. He was never more�idly-presented. Mr. Jones delivered addresses of like import at Montreal, Canada, Buffalo, Detroit, and New York. He was the first of these to be called Mrs. Georgia Jones Tucker. In Detroit, he was accompanied by his accomplished and genial wife, and every day he was a member of the New Yorker, and was laylor and open-handed hospitality at the hands of the wealthiest and most influential citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Jones returned last year to the home home of the last grandson of Mr. Jones, 1991. Vermont avenue, N. W. The Sheafe-Braxton Nuptials.

A number of the new clubs have also been used to form the function with the tennis devotes. The daily tournaments at the city grounds, Thirteenth and T streets, have attracted widespread attention. On Friday, the club will be held at the Green Willow Fair and was occupied a section at the Howard theater. The party numbered ninety.

On Friday evening, at the great meeting at Ryman's Auditorium, Dr. Johnson is to introduce Dr. Booker T. Washington. He is an ardent sympathizer with the Washington propaganda, and will say a few things in his address that will surprise a number of persons not familiar with Jackson's views on the Washington idea. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton is attending the Grand Army Encampment at Chattanooga, Tenn., and expects to elect his president for old friend, Mrs. Isabel Perrell Ball, a stunner of the race. Capt. T. L.

A Noteworthy Millinery Opening. The society's社科 folk are looking forward to the annual opening of Mrs. Rosa Morgan's millinery parlor. Never before has there been an exhibition in the city such an array of creations in the form of headgear. Not only has the city been called upon to add to this collection.

Every evening, beginning Monday, September 22, and to the 29th, from 7 to 8 p.m., the store will display styles in millinery. The store will be beautifully decorated and a bower hidden orchestra will discourse sweet music throughout each evening.

Mrs. Mayme Smith Goden had been a month she would still have had time enough to fill the engagement and has had visitors and visitors, but it was left for the "Queen of them all" to carry off the honors, as we said before. Mrs. Mayme Smith Goden has measured accounts for her charming personality. To enumerate the social more space than we can at this time devote. A peep at her diary reveals the fact that she had kept track of some 600 friends, and twenty-seven tokens of tangible love.

Woodrow Wilson, White House, www.woodrowwilson.org asking for it. Sir—to certify that we, the undersider, are surprised and indignant that, under your administration, there should be any rules made by members of your cabinet to segregate employees of the government from those protesting against this as a plain insult, public degradation, and insufferable injury to colored Americans, the establishment of a free republic. We petition you to reverse, prevent and forbid any such movement by your bureau chiefs, in accord with your promise of fair, friendly, just and Christian treatment of your colored fellow citizens.

There are people who spend their lives in dreaming but never accomplish any dream dreams and then bring to pass what dreams have in vision seen. To this latter class belongs Notable Benjamin Smith, of Birmingham, some at Tuskegee Institute, he went out and began working at his trade. Nine years ago he arrived in Birmingham, Ala., and he began to work on large visions of the time when he would be in business for himself and a own a lot of property. The first three weeks in business he received $20.00. The next four weeks he received $20.00. During all the time he was asking himself "Will my dream ever come true?" He saved enough money to become a contracting bricklayer. His venture was successful. Within a year he saved enough money to realize the into the real estate business. The pursuit of his first piece of property turned out to be a profitable investment. This gave him confidence in his real estate business. His venture and his next were successful. He branched out into other lines of business, began to lend money and became manicured. Smith is at present one of the leading young co-operative business men of Birmingham and is a member of the company to about $275.00 a month. His annual income from all sources is over $5,000. One of the most valuable pieces of property he has accumulated is his two-story office building. He is only accumulated property for himself and is not a service to the colored people of Birmingham by negotiating loans for his business. The cause of his business ability a great deal of money is placed in his hands for this purpose. In one year, the total amount he earns from his business is many Negroes in that city owning comfortable homes, the purchase of which was begun through his advice and with it appears that Smith's dream is rapidly coming. For with a monthly income of $400 and a profit of $100, he is a long way removed from the man who, nine years ago, started out with his business. It is possible for any young man who learns brick-masonry or some other trade, as taught by the Tuskegee Institute, to become a successful business basis for accumulating property and becoming a valuable citizen in the community when, By Booker T. et alown hom?on or BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. THE OPENING OF TUGGLE UNIVERSITY BIRMINGHAM. Ala.-From every part of the state representative men and women were in Birmingham September 18, 1915, to attend a state situte. Music, addresses, sermons and prayers marked the opening exercises. Tuggle institute is located on Eon Rising Sons and is in the state. It was established by Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, who is one of the most remarkable women of the race in the state. The Tuggle institute is at the head of the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection and the Grand Court of Calathea, and these two organizations are in the school. Some of the strongest young men and women of the country are included in the faculty. The Tuggle institute is opening anthem y the school, and Mrs. Lena May Sherod, of Bessemer, made the opening prayer. "A Closer Walk With God" was the next pastor of Eon M. E. church, read the scripture lesson. Mrs. Rosa L. Parks, sang a solo, which was followed by an editor of the "Birmingham Reporter." The parents were urged to pay special attention to the training of their boys. "The future of our race in this country," he said, "depends on the boys and girls of today, and not so much on the men in their habit and character." Special mention was made of Mrs. C. A. Tuggle, who represented the possibility of the race, and the woman who was doing so much for the moral, intellectual and spiritual uplift of the race. Her life as a tailor, a missionary and presiding officer over men and women was discussed. "Progressive Movement" was the fine theme discussed by Mrs. W. M. Adams, who has just returned from an extended trip through the East, accompanied by Mrs. F. M. Cosby, of the two orders. Others spoke on the subject. "Dreams" by Tuggle Institute orchestra was the next number. "The Good We Are Doing" was the theme discussed by Mrs. M. J. Mirate. Mrs. Susie Morgan, of Watson, spoke, and a sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Thornton, of Morning Pilgrim Baptist church, Birmingham. Mrs. Tuggle then spoke, as well as the school opened, and brought the people to the service. He was a member of the institution that was going to help the race, and was extending a hand to a set of young people that no other school was reaching. "We can accomplish much for our people by opening to these boys and girls the door of hope. Every avenue which leads to destruction is opened to our young people, and we must throw out the life-line and save them before it is too late." THE FREEMAN IN HOUSTON, TEX.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX. BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, SEPT. 20, 1913. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Corn on the ear, sweet potatoes, canteLOU make the season distinguished. Are we merely to have Africa as our portion of the Democratic award. Very significant, isn't it. Might have had Haiti—that's a near Africa. Massachusetts has two colored candidates for the legislature. One of them will represent the district formerly represented by W. H. Lewis, if successful. Something doing in political circles this week. Some of the various candidates for mayor are busy using their position. Others have nothing to say, but they are sawing wood. Well, Vardaman, Tillman et al are not having an inning at Washington as they threatened. It may be that the Wilson influence has squeaked that obstreperous set. If so, it has not done badly. The good citizen movement makes a splendid appeal for their candidate. Bookwaltier is some spieler himself when he gets warmed up. Mr. Bell also enjoys some reputation as a spellbinder. It's a most beautiful fight. The Illinois Idea says that the Defender, of Chicago, was mistaken in its report that a millionaire white man was forced to marry his colored maid. The report is seen in many of the leading papers. How could the Defender tell such a tale and live. One William Shakespeare would say, "There's something rotten in Denmark." The terrible plight of the eight Negroes who suffocated in a dark cell in Texas reminds one of the Black Hole of Calcutta, where scores of Indians lost their lives through criminal negligence, if not criminal intent. One hundred forty-six men were crowded into a space twenty square and with no ventilation to speak of. The horrible suffering that the imagination presents to all who have read of the Black Hole has made it classic as a thing of hellishness. Cast in this mephitic furnace, of the foul breaths of men at night only twenty-three were left to tell the tale in the morning. COLOR LINE A SHAM. Here is what is being said in New York concerning the recently enacted civil rights law: The color line will continue to be drawn in fashionable hotels and theaters despite the civil rights law, now in effect. Although a fine of $100 to $500 for each violation confronts every hotel and theater manager who discriminates against any race or creed, both are rightly held a mark of moking the statute a dead letter. At the Plaza, Knickerbocker, Astor and Waldorf it was said no trouble was expected. "A hotel has always a right to charge what it pleases for a room," said a clerk. "If an undesirable comes it is easy to make the price unattractive." At the Hotel Manhattan the management, in order to keep its dining rooms well protected, has a pile of cards bearing the word "Reserved." "Supreme court decisions will protect us. If a person is undesirable he can be refused admittance. The supreme court has held that a theater is private, not public property, and a theater has the right to sell to whom he pleases. SWEET REASONABLENESS. Publications by the race were inclined to rejoice when the news went out from New York that that state had made it possible for Negroes to enter hotels, theaters and such like places. We said at the time, "We will see," having in mind the thought that business in those places would be conducted just about the same as it had been before the law was made. This view was taken owing to what we know of our social relations. In an editorial not long since, on "A National Primer Day," we said: "The too minor advocacy will not obstruct us, but as we said in the beginning we have the citizens' right to demand, and in doing so we will keep in mind racial relations, knowing that certain phases will not yield to race-made laws." It is just as well to be reasonable and sensible on this phase of the race question as to be irrational and foolish. We are very thankful to lawmaking bodies that mean to do their whole duty by trying to get the same recognition for Negroes as is enjoyed by white men. Indeed, we are preserving, civily in those greater affairs, where all are concerned, and politically, there will be no great cause for complaint. The very men who make the laws are not in for breaking down what we may call social restraints. They have rules at their homes which they enforce most rigidly. When not at home they are not altogether different. We will not be able to work words, if at all, but to say, that the palatial hotels, steamships, theaters stand for the final word of aris- tocracy, and in some sense exclusiveness. It stands to reason that if the Negro is barred from the private homes he will not be persona grata in these greater centers of society, even if they do wear a commoner aspect than the private home. This common aspect will include many white persons who are theoretically excluded as we are practically excluded, similarly of many black persons by who are not prepared for such society. There are the theoretically excluded. We, the Negroes, are both the theoretically and practically excluded. Practically because our color is the badge. We are known on sight. We dare say that if only the very few Negroes that are able to enjoy these "luxuries" in the very same sense that white people of means enjoy them there would not be this hue and cry against the Negroes. If they, when enjoyting them, possessed that same equipoise, that dignity and gentility, there would be very little said; perhaps no more than is said of the Jews. Unfortunately or fortunately our financial status is known. Unfortunately those blessed with money are merely blessed with it. The follower could be at the Actor House or at anybody else's house, yet we doubt if his equanimity in such places would help the race. There is a sort of bumpiousness to often that does not amount to an actual offense, yet which is an offense in itself. If only our citizens of means, of legitimate business and a d ultra respectable, asked for admision to these great or centers of society they would not be denied, and as they were not denied twenty-five or thirty years ago. There would be but very few to cumber these places. But it is known at this day that "to have the price merely and only" is a ruling race trait. Consequently, unexpected people with the price merely, are found in these unexpected places. Good clothes and a smart appearance is the complement to the price, too often. The merchant finds himself elbowing with his coachman, and looking more "spruce", although he may inhabit the loft at the rear end of the merchant's yard. The same can be said of the writers who rub right up against the guest at the theater just served at the hotel. The bootbelt boy, the bell boy take their places mid this great society of money, intellect and culture. The great democracy of thought standing for the democracy of society stands for this, but not your practicalness and reasonably enough. We are not magnifying conditions, even if we do put it a trifle strong. If Negro merchants came to New York to spend $10,000 each before they returned home they would ride about the town "in state." Hotel clerks would fall over their registers in getting them to enter their names. But who is going to worry with people out of their way to spend the few pennies which they would better spend if they deserving relative—the pennies spent—all spent. This restriction, as bad as it is, is teaching the race sanity. The valuable lesson of moving about as one is qualified to move about is being taught. There is such a thing as conventional laws, the agreements of society. The conceit that money talks is being taken out of us. It talks true enough but it must be in a sufficient quantity to make a noise like the money of those with whom we would associate. This is the law of the fitness of things, and an agreement of society, making the constitutionalism, rules of conduct that cannot be written in books, but often much better obeyed than those written in books. SUFFOCATED IN A DARK CELL. A sad story of the death of eight Negroes by suffocation on the state farm at Harlem, near Richmond, Tex., is making the rounds of the race publications. The fortunate eight were convicts who had been in the dark cell of the camp which was only ten feet long, seven feet high and seven feet in width. According to report, the men were placed in the cell because they did not make the headway needed them when at work in the field. It is said that the headway and inexperienced consequently were unable to make a good show. This as it may be, the fact is that they were confined in a space that was too small in dimensions, not to speak of the ventilation which was by the means of a few small holes. The affair is extremely unfortunate. Some think to see homicide in the incarceration; but this is not by any means certain. The men in charge have been charged with negligence, and perhaps she, that they can be charged with. The day was unusually this. This added to the unfavorable condition, perhaps more than the guards thought. We put this somewhat merciful construction on it because it is very probable that it was just that way. That the men have been arrested is proof enough that the case will be aired in court. And that is as much as we can expect; that white men are tried for their offenses against us as as they are tried for offenses against one another. Of course, we have in mind fair trials, impartial decisions. If we get these it is not our business to attempt to influence the court beforehand—to prejudice the court. THE NEWS OF NORFOLK, VA (By Ernest L. Wiggins, Freeman Sub Office, 215 Cumberland St.) Archer Found Guilty Very Quickly. On Monday, September 8, it only took the jury twenty minutes to return a verdict of guilt in the case. The judge appointed the Princess Anne Circuit Court upon the charge of having attacked and criminally assaulted Cora Whitehurst, at her father's home, on September 2 weeks ago. The verdict was returned at 6:05 p.m. on the same day of the trial. The citizens of Princess Anne failed to appear in the courtroom. Judge White determined to let Archer remain in the Princess Anne jail pending his death sentence, probably on Monday, September 10. The judge also ordered the state pentiment in Richmond. Motion for a new trial for Archer, made by Thomas H. Wilcox, appointed by the judge, to appear on Monday. Commonwealth Attorney A. J. Achrest proceeded Archer. Negro Held on Serious Charge.

It does seem as if the Norfolk young ladies of Miss Marshall's class should find something better to do than to attack such ladies of the city. William Taylor, Mary Thomas, Annie Boyd and W. C.

(By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 18 (Special). Miss Marshall's marshal, of 155 Premium young ladies of our leading and prominent young ladies of this city, was caught in a raid Monday night, September 15. It was such a such a pernicious. It does seem as if the Norfolk young ladies of Miss Marshall's class should find something better to do than to attack such ladies of the city. William Taylor, Mary Thomas, Annie Boyd and W. C.

PORTSMOUTH, VA (By E. L. Wiggins, Freeman Sub-Office 215 Cumberland St., Norfolk, Va.) Special to The Freeman. Eleven-year-old Granville Newson, son of E. L. Wiggins, of 1030 Count street, was run down Wednesday afternoon by James Jerry, sheriff of the county first avenue and County street. The boy's left side was badly injured and his heel crushed almost entirely off. The driver failing to stop had was picked up by the sheriff and carried home to his mother, and in crossing the street was struck by the fast-moving auto, the driver failing to stop had was picked up by the machine until it was upon him, and tried to escape; but the sheriff being confused, turned the machine in the same direction, and was taken to the legs. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor held their grand session at Ebenzer Baptist church, corner of Effingham and University, on November 11. The parade was one of the finest ever seen here, and was headed by the Portsmouth band. . . . Portsmouth center each Sunday morning was each Sunday morning by the boy. You can do this very easily by writing not what you see, but by handing it to the boy on Sunday morning. This saves the boy's time. DALLAS, TEXAS. Knights at Home From Baltimore Giving Account of Themselves— through the years (By Col. J. G. Griffin.) Special to the Freeman. Rain and cold weather for one whole week have put many people to wondering down here. Many have returned from their work in the cotton fields. All the Pythian lodges and Courts of Calanthe are now meeting in the newly selected hall on Elm street, near Pearl street, temporarily, since the falling in of the west wall of their former meeting place on Main street. Luckily, no one was injured. Talk is now going on concerning the erection of the new Pythian temple on Elm. Good and Monument streets. It takes money for such an undertaking, and the lodges will have to work hard to make the proposed building a success. Hon. Wm. McDonald and Hon. Wm. Tears, of Fort Worth and Austin, respectively, spoke at Old Bethel A. M. E. church last Sunday to large audiences, who braved the bad weather to hear the lectures, which were timely. More of our people should have been present and heard them, as the advice given was of a wholesome nature. The Knights of Pythias who made the trip to Baltimore have been besieged since their arrival home by people interested in the work of the Librarian of the Texasian. The boy has given Texasிய women, the boys have a lot of good for themselves, doing a lot of good for the order, and they wish to thank one and all for the absile chance received by the Librarian of the Librarian and the time which helped them to land the supreme biennial session for Texas in 1915. They wish, also, to extend thanks to Mr. Moeing, the current newspaper man of Baltimore, the core of the corps of assistants; also to others who were at Camp Creswell. Gen. John L. Jones, of Texas, is much-related over being called the cowboy and baby general at Camp Creswell during the national encampment. He also had the honor of commanding the British舰队 for dress paid and through the courtesy of General Butler, of St. Louis, Mo., who was in command. Grand Chancellor A. the Prince, of Sherman, was the son of the division in extending the invitation to the delegates to come to this state in 1915. Other Texans were shown many courtesy. We also have many that Columbia (Ohio) delegation and the entire military department of that state. Miss L. V.

It was Louis Johnson, the bright and healthy pitcher of the season, who broke the record of the season. It was fun to see Johnson fill the bases and then dismiss the side runners. When ably supported he pitches an excellent game. The # AMERICAN GLANTS. Petway, c .....

Sunday was the second time that Frank Landl's Chicago Giants won from the second inning, and the "grand old pitcher" was not in such the form or he was too confident, he would win the second inning, Poster would win the hard, bard, more than team getting a hit save Moss and he just seemed to enjoy the game and felt although the Americans lost. But it was the ball that won the game. He pitched the ball and the Americans won. The big lead in the second inning was too big.

Now that the Chicago Giants think they "are so warm," a big game has been scheduled against the Americans for next Sunday. Frank Leland thinks his team can beat "Rube" and a sum of $500 has been put up to further substantiate his belief. With such a bet as this, will make some ball playing at Schorling's park, Leland has a better pitcher who is better than Crawford that he will use on Sunday. Foster will pitch either Gatewood or Lindsey. Monroe, the famous second baseman, is in the city and will most likely remain here during the early part of the winter and will go West to play with one of the big western teams. Young Johnson is getting all kinds of praise for putting out fourteen men on last Saturday at Gunther's park. “Dady’s Pete Hill is breaking all records as a hitter. Barber, better known as “Brown Eyes,” is holding ‘em fast at second. The fans would rather see Petway on bases than any player that has ever run the local diamonds. He is a demon. The two Taylors, one at first and the other at third, are hard to beat. Fans are glad to see Hutchinson at second after several days' illness. Duncan and Booker seldom have bad luck in the field, only once in a while. Policemen Versus Firemen. With a monster cloud to hang over Chicago just about the time people were getting ready to go to the game and people who expected to attend the game marched at home. However, 600 loyal fans came to the game and enjoyed a six-in-one game that was the funniest ever, and the gaily attire dined new suits. The game was called at 3:45, and Tube Foster Garnes at 4:15, and Garnes at the bases. The ball was knocked every way. Some of the players did well and others did not. One person had to walk in the door because Charley bore." The score was 16 to 10 in favor of the policemen. Officer Price deserves great credit for getting the ball out of the way of a worthy cause. Had it not rained, some several hundred dollars would have been cleared. The two teams had the assistance of the chief of police and fire marshal. That was always accepted as a fact that all officers performers were not a success unless they were doing the comedy role, and if they happened to be vocalists they must sing either coon songs or a song that was not exposed by the appearance in vaudeville of Thompson, Cooper and Thompson, who present nothing but high class selections and are a hit on the bill everywhere they Grace Boys Champions.

IS THE RECORD MADE BY THE National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America. LOCATED IN Little Rock, Ark. This order was organized in 1882 by J. E. Bush and C. W. Keatts, two Negroes, and has long since passed the experimental stage. Half Million Dollars Paid to Widows and Orphans The National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America conducts Disability, Endowment and Burial Departments, and through these departments has paid to widows and orphans and beneficiaries of deceased members the enormous sum of a Half Million Dollars. Substantial Proof of Reliability Failures and frauds have been so numerous in organizations of this character that the public is naturally skeptical. We cite you the following evidences of our reliability, and same may be verified by spending a little time investigating: The order is now erecting a National Temple Building in Little Rock, Ark., at a cost of $60,000, the same being erected out of the order's surplus funds, and no extra building tax or assessment has been levied upon the members. This has never been heard of in the history of fraternal orders. This order has never levied an extra tax upon its members to pay off any kind of obligation, and not a single instance can be cited during thirty-two years, where the order has failed to meet promptly its just obligations to the people. In our Endowment department, the ninety-day waiver, which appears in most certificates, has never been taken advantage of, because the order has always had sufficient funds to meet its claims whenever proof of death is made. Our Endowment department is national and has been inspected from time to time by various insurance commissioners. The order has come out of each inspection with flying colors. As we grow older, instead of decreasing, our Endowment surplus is growing, as the following will show: A Lesson in Figures Rates per Year and Benefits Paid. Men's Department, $11.75 per year; endowment, $200; sick benefits, $3 per week; burial, $50. Women's Department, $8.75 per year; endowment, $300; sick benefits, $2 per week; burial, $50. Children's Department, $1.85 per year; endowment, $50; sick benefits, $1 per week; burial, $20. The above rates include all taxes, local lodge, state and Supreme Grand Lodges. The endowment policies of $300 are graded and payable as follows: Should death occur during the first twelve calendar months, $100; after the first twenty four calendar months, $200; after the first thirty-six calendar months, $300. Local Lodge Divisions The order operates in four divisions, and charter fees for organizing new lodges are as follows: Temples for adult males, cost of charter, $15; nunbers for adult females, cost of charter; Palaces for children, cost of charter, $5; Uniform Rank, cost of charter, $5. Opportunities for Organizers The order is now conducting a nation-wide campaign for members and is allowing organizers the most liberal contract ever given by any fraternal order in the world. During the past twenty-four months we have organized 600 new lodges. Some organizers have earned as high as $200 per month. We allow organizers, under extension plan, to set up local lodges for the price of the charter fee. For instance, an organizer would set up a temple of 100 lodges at $2 each; that would amount to $120. His charter would cost $15, leaving him a net profit of $105. We are anxious to engage active young men and women in all parts of the United States to organize lodges. Especially are we anxious to secure organizers in Illinois, Indiana, Virginia and West Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New York and Kansas.

LOUIS, MO. Booker Washington Theater Elise Johnson, the sweet-voiced mocking bird, arrived in our midst and scored instant success. "I am the young lady," as sung by the young lady, won much applause, and this was followed by the hit, "Georgia Glide," which brought down the house, "Woola Dance," "Woola Dance," by Shelton Brooks, to set the house wild. Her act is good and should so big in the theater that fun and trotle, in a famous foolhouse, arrived in town with loads of fun. The act was a how-to for the actress, with "A Bartine Ball," which went big, "Mama Doesn't Know Where I Am" was great, the childish impersonations winning, the "Broudes on You" and the "To Be in Dixie" are composition by Mr. Too Sweet, and went big. The dialogue went great. The act closes in a whirlwind of laughter and James Crosby, that tall talker, that monarch monarch of darkest doings and he bounded his act with the "Puzzling Rag" and went big. He is some monologist and put across the footlights as a woman suffragette brought forth a big land, "Railroad Rag" closed the act, which was grand. Crosby is well worth Two Nugent Sisters, rattle and dancing, were a scream. The act was opened with a kick, "Keep It Up" by Carrie Nugent, that sat a full hand, "I've Got the Finesse of a man," and went big. Then the Nugent Sisters world-famous female buck and wing shoes made him feel more wonderful steps. We must say that when it comes to dancing Carrie Nugent has all the others backed off to witness a whirlwind of fun and frolic. A. M.

The bill this week is in keeping with those of the past. Indeed, Manager Tim, who has been a Crown Garden patrons the best to be had because he has got them trained that day, calls it necessary to be a theater. The manager makes special trips to various cities in order to get the best headed in his direction. The auditorium appends a special whatever form it comes. It means much for the performers, since a variety of work is being appreciated, giving them a chance to show what they wish to show that they can do best. A. B. SINGLETON, In a Novelty Turn. A. B. Singleton, rapid crayon artist and cartoonist, is the way Mr. Singleton, with some doubt, went to how his life a turn would take. But, as stated in the preface, the Crown Garden patrons are learning to appreciate all good things by seeing and touching, rousing reception after doing his first picture. He drew rapidly and well. Some patrons, although not in a frame, amounted in two, three and four minutes. Some of his work is strikingly realistic. He shows decided talent for landscape painting; this was brought to his attention by "My Drawing" sketch. His Indian pictures were particularly good. The audience would generally these before finished. Mr. Singleton began to put his talent to account. It means that with his youth and ability he recently began to put his talent to account. Mr. Singleton, with his drawing is on the order of that done by Brown and Hodges. The young man is a happy hit, and gives promise of pleasing LILLARD AND LILLARD, Classy Act—Clerve Tango Dance James and Ethel Lillard do clean, classy work. They open up with a sprightly song from the band. The stove are light, the movements pretty. James Lillard sings a beautiful solo, "We Have So Much to Be Thankful For." The song is of splendid sentiment for her. The singer's ringing tenor voice. He has a tenor voice of fine timbre; is pleasing to hear. The words, the time the shimmer, the sound of the ringing hearing. He is well applauded. Ethel, the pretty partner, sings, "Silver Water" in Indian costume. She sings nicely and appears a little more confident, close with the Tango dance, or Indian dance, as it is sometimes called. This dance has been done on the Crown Garden stage, but she has added so many changes and postures. Some parts remind one of those great European dances, done by special artists from abroad in the lady, turns her hair as a child, also doing other difficult movements without destroying the rhythm. They make a good stage appearance. CRISWELL AND BAILEY, A Great Act. The beauty of the Criswell and Bailey acts is that they present a playlet. They work out a scheme, and it was. It was thought that this team would not go so good in a new act. This was a compliment, because it was thought that she would be the first act. It will be remembered that they are doing their second week, and have changed their act. They have made good in making a better estimate of the crown's patrons' esthetic, she was a real comedienne and not one who happened to make good in a certain part. She will feature wherever assigned for female comedians to display her talents, also. She showed that she was a first-class straight. Her singing was pretty and effective and the two was the best ever heard at this theater. Miss Criswell seems cut out (to sing the part—a great voice, "with a feeling, as she As much as I should like to, I cannot describe their playlet in detail. It, in Indian and Zulu, is Indian and Zulu, but that doesn't matter, since the object is to get to wear those pretty Indian costumes that are the lightning charge of Miss Crisswell from cork to her natural face. They have a taking playlet that is interesting and enter- Gardner and Graham. This team does some good dancing perhaps their strongest point as a team the monologue is hard since he works away from the old ruts. He is likely to say anything of anyone else in this original business more so than his cut-and-dried stuff. As an old man, perhaps he cannot be excelled. His make-up is great. He is a man of many steps and stunts, all fairly in keeping with the age and character of the individual he talks of. In the running of Graham gets in a ringer now and then. Grand Has Four Texas Tommy Dancers—Cooper at the Monogram—Madam Patti Brown at Bethel A. M. E.—Moving Picture Houses a Big Success. CHICAGO, IL., Sept. 16 (Special). The Grand. The patrons of the Grand, many of them at least five times, were sold out. It was the original four of the Seven California Texas Tommils Dancers. The dance being popular in the city is a big drawing card. They do it in a whirlwind fashion and are clever with it. They make good and nice dancers, extremely fine in their eccentric dancing. A skit, "A Strenuous Daisy," was highly enjoyed by the crowd, much to the liking of the mother, who did not know she was of rich parentage, and positively ignored that woman who was the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER THE MUSICAL JAMES LILLARD, ETHEL LILLARD. only daughter of a wealthy miner; then it was that her opinion changed and all was pleasing and the marriage a happy one. Brown was a washing, and Alvin and Kenny, comedy aerial gymnasts, closed the bill with one of the most exciting stunts seen at the Grand. Good pictures and Dave's theater added to the evening's entertainment. The Monogram. Mr. John Cooper, the ventriloquist, was the headliner at the Monogram this week, and cast a gleam in Louvainville's The News's glover of this classic artist. One can easily see that Mr. Cooper is a topnotch man for the firm, a clear and confident and seldom are his lips seen to move. Madame Glenn is the soloist of her group, The Cavalier, "Goodbye, Love, and My Cavalier." She has a good voice and shows training. She made several high notes with case, and she has a great voice and Thornton sing "Dicty Doos," and "Dreaming of You." Denslow and Denslow open her show in it is her comical face and makes a hit with his comical dress and eccentric dancing.

Windom WASH WINDOW The NURSEGIRL and after introducing the song "After the Ball," his popularity was established. When he and Gussle L. Davis, the colored song writer, had finished "The Fata Wedding," Billy's cup of Joy was running over, he was loaded down with a nightly from a stranger. Two more of his greatest successes were "Teach Our Baby That I'm Dead," his own song, and "It Don't Seem Like the Same Old Smile, and to those who remember his singing of those songs will be a fond memory that none of the younger generation will ever have. He was a very young, light, and high-个音, in vandeville under his own name (new stage name, Windom) assisted by the Blackstone colored quartet, which included Conley and Dixon, was the best-singed quartet then- and-highest-rated one on the world. He was a very highly intelligent, had a remarkable personality. He was non-committal on the color question and did not care or recognize any discussion as to whether he was colored or white. He married a white woman in Chicago, who loved a white woman. He was a very humiliated birth. It was rumored that George Primrose, who had passed him as white, did not smile upon his marriage to a white woman. And right here I must retaliate by stating to the world that Windom, who was half white, had a very white woman as he did to marry a black one, and more so, because of obvious reasons. When Windom made his appearance at the Grand theater in Chicago alone last season in a black face nurse girl monologue with a baby carving out a tint of red, he was a very dark, and after the show. His hair was asshen gray. He seemed cheerful but lacked his old time smile. NOTES FROM WOLFSCALE'S BAND AND MINSTREL With the Barnum and Bailey Shows. We are now in old Missouri, with Kansas as to follow. We have experienced in the last two weeks some of the hottest weather ever seen under canvas. Mr. J. Ed, Hunn, wife of J. Ed, Hunn, our stage manager, came over from St. Louis to Quincy to visit her husband. Mr. Ernest Smith was surprised by a visit from his par-nite in Hannibal, Mo. They came from Brunswick, Mo., with an automobile party. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had to leave at 4 o'clock, consequently they did not visit the big show, but until that time they visited the side show and talked with their son, so they were satisfied. Mr. Joe Herriford, solo clarinetist in the band, left Sedalla Saturday night for Kansas City, Mo., to visit his father, Prof. Joe E. Herriford, principal of Lincoln school. He returned Monday morning at Clinton, Mo. Prof. Wolfscale sends regards to Prof. L. K. Baker, Jas. Harris, and Pop Adams and John Eason. All the company send regards to all their friends. COLORED PROFESSION: FINANCE AND FAILURE Barred from the organization of "White Rats," greatly owing it, we are able to stand prosperity, standing generally in need and merely existing. Why can't we professionals be as enthusiastic as the "White Rats?" To equal such as those successful financial brothers, we must think of our colored professional brother struggling for years to reach the lines of success. In failure is doomed to imagine left in the vision of the past without means to back him. Our brother tomorrow is in pain. We wear diamonds, tomorrow we is in pawn. This retrospective cast upon this unhappy man not only require ability but does require much thought, the reason of which is the main foundation in progress to value Our Diety says that "a good name is better than great riches." But the Diety says that "the more things you ingest." The great reasons that now confront us and block us in every way to success, which brings to us poverty, by drawing attention to the dangers of bad food and bad follow that endless backward road to disgrace which they think is progress. The main pleasure of this diet is sporting and drinking. They must shun this corrupt slavery. What we need most, must have, must keep and must use is our brains, nurtured brain, and self-esteem. What we need power we can use equally anything as good as anybody. Knowledge is power, says the writer. Brain is power, says the writer. A writer said that "reading makes the man." Today it is money that makes the man. Reason and understanding are the keys to success. These must be low, when found penniless. It is a known fact that we can stolen and brought loose against our will freed and turned loose like cattle to do for ourselves. Our progress under terrible difficulties has been wonderful. Because of us B.E. the King, we have failed to take any action to advance but seemingly remain dormant and contented, knowing that much is to be done. Economy is by far the most profitable branch of education in life. We are called militants. Some of us try anything else, everything but save our money. Be an imitator of Rockefeller, or his equals; imitate a restraint about land. It is not only help to our profession but is a benefit to our race, and is our main protection. Be a prophet for profit.

THE COLORED ACTRESS SALARY If current rumors be true, the colored actresses of the East are beginning to knock the Dudley circuit on the point of oblivion. Obviously, no enterprise can disburse them, but it can take and continue in business. It can take and continue, it less pays its expenses and returns a fair percentage on the capital invested. These are the primary business principles of the business of the world. The business of the world, with about 2,000,000 out of 10,000,000 Negroes in this country. The vast majority, for one reason or another, being non-theater-roaring. Those houses which cater to colored audiences and divide audiences into portions of the population to draw upon, they are, for example, the few limited seating capacity, they cannot pay large or fracy salaries and continue in business, that play to mixed audiences have the entire populace to draw from and consequently have larger receipts and are able to pay The Dudley circuit is willing to pay as much for acts as any one else similarly situated. It appears that some people would be able to handle fifteen weeks at $50 is far better than four weeks at $75. It requires only a simple calculation to establish the truth that the theater would help us, if we would help us, co-operate with us, it would ultimately mean more theaters, larger theaters, better working conditions and finally better salaries. The theater would always willing and eager to do its utmost for Negro performers, but it cannot do the impossible and it will not commit suicide by vicious violence. There is here before stated.

As a student of the theater, I either my race or profession justice to accept the very lowest class of theaters in which to exhibit a first-class entertainment, or to be given men with capital to get together and build theaters for colored people.

Langford Won't Get to Pummel White Hopes—Sheriff Julius Harburger Sore About it. Fearance, Brown, Todd, Walton, Coleman, Bradley, Kennedy, Voorhies and Holiday, of Sumner high school. Practice will soon begin and Dr. Thomas, as coach expects to have his team rounded out by the time the curtain raises for the first game. The schedule is open for eighage (By Billy Lewis.) New York is a great big state; it is big in every way, except one. It is disappointing that Chicago should be shunn in any way. If you to Chicago you are impressed with the business of the town and the bigness of the city, but you touch that Chicago is not so big in the sense I mean here as it was fifteen or twenty years ago. It is the best business places, the busiest and so forth, would not be noticed any more than any other individual. A Negro could be in the best restaurants, and apparently they would not see one another. Each woman in her burber in his own apartment might beigung in his own getting by, as it is put. This has somewhat changed in that great city, yet it remains almost ideal where it comes to its Negro citizens. Only by the other day a white millionaire was compelled to marry his colored maid, whom it was alleged that he had wronged. New York, being much larger than Chicago in all ways materially, should be as large as that city spiritually, at least, as it concerns its Negro citizens. It is true, New York has permitted a Negro regiment. Illinois did that years ago. New York has vested 25% of the_{-} ereation of the^{-} city years of Negro free-_{}ment. New York prohibits dom. mixed boxing matches. Illinois does not think of such a thing. Of course, a box-_{} match or boxing matches are not to be compared with a Negro regiment or a Negro exposition. But as a thing of principle, and as it concerns citizenship, the prohibition of boxing matches between the races, the same being meant to head off the Negroes, is as reprehensible civilly as denying anything else, no matter how great. The germ of opposition is there-in the little things. The big things, consequently, are ever in danger. The following note bears on the situation: - NEW YORK—The state boxing commission demonstrated that it also can operate as a humane society by deciding that its rule against "mixed" bouts must be violated. "Sam Langford, the 'Boston tar baby,' has been hungering for a few chances at some of the 'white hope' hereabouts and has been trying to get the role against them meeting a Negro in this state, bravely declared their willingness to move on. "Sam Langford manager sought out the boxing commission and requested that the rule be voided so that his man might meet the said 'white hope.' The pale-faced man, every seen in the anatomy, they feared they might have to make good their bluff and let Sam punch them to sleep. He was not afraid, after considering how unkind and unmerciful action would be if they let Sam at a few 'white hopes,' decided to stand pat on its ruling hand. "Sam Langford, after offended the commission and so morally wounded" them that they have not quite gotten over it. It may be that the incident caused the anti-mixed boxing The decision does not help to clarify the pledge middle by any means. In many cases, the decision will take place in these later days; he is conceded the heavyweight champion in spite of "tump courts," which tried to legislate that he must now for Johnson's crown; no pretender at least. There are candidates all right enough, and that is as much as possible. They must fight and declare. They must fight if they would win. The hero of Reno must be overcome on the field. That scene was too spectacular to be ignored. The white men are right in giving in to Johnson. They have concluded that it would be a shameful thing to fight sly of a situation that came about in the past. The white men should take every opportunity to develop men, to develop some man that will overcome Johnson. They have not done that, only that which could stand the white light of reason, by way of victory should be achieved. New York commissioners, since they permit boxing, and since they are race partisans, should encourage mixed boxing matches so as to make a man that can meet Johnson with success. But New York has one Barbara Fritchie kind of a sheriff. See this note "NEW YORK.—Sheriff Julius Harburger, one of Manhattan's sturdiest little patriots, emitted shrill cries of indignation today when he learned that the New York state athletic commission had refused to rescind its order prohibiting boxing matches between white and Negro fighters. 'In barring contests between white men and Negroes,' said the sheriff, 'citizenship has been set aside and a rule adopted which will not hold in any court of justice in this state.'" "Shoot if you must this old gray head, But spare your country's flag," she said. The good, square-minded sheriff will not prevail to the extent of having the commission change their minds, perhaps, but his objection is helpful in establishing the fact that the situation is not without witnesses. They are vastly in the minority, but right and truth don't need very much outside assistance. ST. LOUIS FOOTBALL TEAM. As the baseball season is rapidly drawing to a close, football in its various forms is still the most popular sport in Louis Collegeus, an athletic body of men who have played with different colleges and universities that, they put up for a team that, they never forgot, by gridiron fans.

So we have determined to send a copy of the pres- cription free of charge, in a plain, or ordinary envelope to any man who will write it for us. Our prescription comes from a physician who has a prescription men, and we are convinced it is the sur- viving combination for the cure of des- sertion manhood and vigor failure ever put We think we owe it to our fellow man to any them a copy in confidence, so that any them who is weak and discouraged with what he does, drumming himself with harmful patient techniques, secure what we believe is the guiding restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and so cure him himself quickly. Just drop us a line like this: Remedy Co., 3831 Luck Building, Mich., and will you send a copy of this book to us. We offer an ordinary envelope, free of charge.

Fearance, Brown, Todd, Walton, Coleman, Bradley, Kennedy, Voorhies and McCormick will soon begin and Dr. Thomas, as coach expects to have his team rounded out by his team, will play in the game.

Al Palzer Refuses to Concede that Smith is Premier Heavy-weight—Gunboat Has Lost Hairline Decisions to Willard and Moran. (By James J. Corbett, Former Heavy weight Champion of the World.) Jim Buckley, who directs the pugilistic affairs of Gunboat Smith, a young man now figuring prominently in the heavy-weight division, is peeved because the press and public refuse to take the Gunboat's challenge to Langford seriously. Buckley insists that the def is of the honest-to-goodness, cross-my-heart kind and that he will show he means business if John Coffroth, Tom McCarey or some other Pacific coast promoter comes forth with sufficiently inviting offers. Manager Buckley claims the Gunboat has cleaned up the white heavyweight division thoroughly and that the only fighters between him and the chamsion-php are Sam Langford and Jack Johnson. Buckley professes to believe Smith equal to the task he will impose upon him and that for the Gunboat to score a victory over the "star baby" is tantamount to winning the championship of the world. Some Think Different Few will argue with Buckley over the latter point as the popular impression is Jack Johnson is "through" and that Langston Hughes is "present" today. As for his contention that there are no more white heavies left for the African-American war where there are several members of that mission fervently. The officer is one who refuses to concede the Gunbuster the position as premier white heavy, Arthur Pelky is another. The latter by the way is doing a little claiming of his account. I understand county Jimmy Jimmy white heavyweight champion. Then there are Frank Moran and Jess Willard, both white heavyweight champions and whose complaints that the verdicts were unfair are backed up by a number of attorneys in the war. Admitting for the sake of argument that the Gunbuster has established his supremacy over the rest of the whites the question arises what chance would he have of winning the war if his experts would probably show very few of the demos black. The popular belief is that the Negroes outclass their pale face rivals in the matter of fighting and that the question is the present bunch of white heavies. None So Good. Still there has never been a man so good that he could not be beaten. It may be that we rate the blacks altogether too high, but the white men are the cities of such men as Langford and Jeannette, for several years since there has been anything like a real ring test between the best men of the two races. The Johnson-Flynn affair of a little more than a year ago proved for one thing that the champion not by any means the worst in the ring, but who lives at the time of his victory over Jeffries, and the result of the last week's battle with Gunnel and the same rounds is used by both Dumlison and Smith's friends as a basis for the argument that the Gunnel boy has qualified as a fighter of the first rank Langford is Good. Langford is regarded as about the best big man in the ring today. Still, when we go over Sammy's record carefully we fail to find that he has ever done anything to prove himself a star performer in the heavyweight division. The men he has beaten decisively could hardly be classed as great fighters. Joe Jeannette has always managed to hold Sam about even in limited round bouts and short flights were never Joe's long suit. It may be found when that pair come together next month that we have overrated the "tar baby" a trifle. Sam McVey, who was beaten by Sam Langford several times, was never regarded highly when fighting in this country. His record was compiled in Europe where the going is very much softer. And it must be remembered that Jeannette knocked McVey out in a finish fight in Paris three years ago. If the Gunboat thinks he is capable of giving a good account of himself in a game, he is encouraged in the idea. Smith's ambition to win the championship is a laudable one and there is only one way for him to win it. Smith has blacks has been conceded by press and public and it is up to the ambitious white heavies to start something with the colored gentry if they ever hope to get to the championship. Out of belts emblematic of the white championship doesn't amount to anything pugilism. There is only one championship, and Jack Johnson is the creeds. Jack Johnson is the present champion and until he is defeated fairly or retires from the game no other right-ferries the title will be worth a tinker's derm. Don't Lack Courage. The Gunboat does not seem to lack courage anyway. That's half the battle, too. Confidence is a great asset. These critics who have been bewailed the reign of the Gunboat should encourage the Gunboat in every possible way. It may develop that over ring affairs so long as he开 hovering over ring affairs so long as he dangerous as it looks. Go to it, Gunboat. Should Cancel Order. In the meantime Tom O'Rourke is writing letters to local sporting editors telling them that the Gunboat is afraid to play Langford is a double dodge to avoid a meeting with the big fighter. Smith, it seems, when pressed, told O'Rourke that he will not consider a match with Palzer in Langford is a double dodge to avoid Frank Moran in their coming match. As Moran and Palzer are to box ten rounds and the Gunboat might could beat Moran over Moran in twenty rounds of fighting in California, O'Rourke thinks that asking altogether too much. Moran looks to be better with the fighters to put away in a short bout, but just the same it will be as well for O'Rourke. Big AI has issued any more challenges behalf of Palzer. Big AI has been out of the ring a long time and he will have to make good before he can pick his match, but the same will be will be enough to set the Gunboat. Now that our white fighters are beginning to show a bit of a class it seems that we need missioners to cancel that order prohibiting matches between whites and blacks. There should be no distinction of colors in the fighters, and the white boxer is willing to meet a Negro he should be permitted to do so. Some of the best boxers in the ring today are black, and it is a walk-knight the chance to see them perform hereabouts except in matches with men of their own color. And it is a walk-knight the chance to see them perform for contests between blacks unless the fighters are of the Johnson, Jeannette or Langhorn to determine against colored fighters is not a popular move by any means. It is too late in the day to attempt to stop the fighters from entering the ring. The time for that was years ago. Discrimination against black fighters at the present time does not reflect credit on those in charge of boxing fn Have Met Before. The Joe Jeannette-Sam Langford match has been landed by the Madison Square Garden team, which is about the middle of next month. This match has been hanging fire ever since Sam's return from Australia and it was thought that he would have been away West to settle their differences. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Sam and Joe have met in limited round bouts a number of times and there is nothing in the dope to suggest that the result of the coming encounter will be any different from those of the past, so that in all probability, a twenty-round match will be arranged by Tom Carey later on in the season. I am told that offers have been made to Langford to go to Europe to fight Jack Johnson, but am inclined to doubt the authenticity. Johnson's consent would first have to be obtained and I have a mental picture of Jack signing articles for a but with Jack may fight softer things are in sight. Longford will be Sam later on, but from a letter I received the other day from Marty King, a well-known sporting man now in Paris, I understand the champion is to box Georges Carpentier some time this fall. So that makes it look as if Langford would have the trip for nothing should he hike to the other side. Carpentier couldn't lick our middle weights, Klaus and Papke. How can his backers expect him to do anything with a man like Johnson? Unless, of course, he is not going to be a stage where money counts for a great deal, and if he's hard up, as has been reported he might consent to take a flop if there was enough in it. EASY MONEY FOR LANGFORD NEW YORK.—Sam Langford, the Boston "tar baby," is in search of more easy money that may be banging around New York. Langford was born in a scheduled ten-round bout on September 9, but Johnson had enough before one round was over. Johnson ran Langford and landed just three bows. Langford then took the count of nine twice from kidney punches, and the referee stopped him. Langford went down for a third time. Langford continued part of the entertainment. From the moment Langford stripped for the bout Johnson showed fright and when the men were out, Langford was African circled away from his opponent.

Immediately after canceling his contract with Burns, Pelkey gave to a Portland sporting editor a signed "confession" that Burns had taken and Burns taked their six-round fight on March 26, last. Pelkey charges that Burns took advantage of the fact that he was penniless and induced him to frame Burns, who rehearsed the battle night in a garrison. Arrangements Said to Be Complete for Title Bout. NEW YORK—Frank Moran, of Pittsburgh, who recently knocked out Al Palmer, of New York, and Dan McKetrick, Moran's manager, has completed arrangement, and the only one he decided to excrete on which the fight will be held, representing Johnson in Paris and accepting terms named by McKetrick for the fight. McINTOSH SAYS NO ONE MAN IS ABLE TO JUDGE A FIGHT Even Moving Picture Machines Placed at Different Sides Get Two Versions. Hugh McIntosh, the leading boxing promoter in Australia and recognized as the most successful boxer in vogue in both America and Europe, has tested by virtue of his operations in the antipodes as well as in England and France, is strongly opposed to the reference to him in vogue in both America and Europe. McIntosh, one man cannot see more than half of the points scored in a boxing match, but the human limitations which prevent him from winning fourteen angles what two men are doing. The custom of having three men give decisions at the close of a match, each of them having a fourth person to act as a teller, is McIntosh's idea. "I understand there is some such custom in America," said Mr. McIntosh. "I believe the case of boxing bouts between amateurs, but even this does not fill the bill. Instead of letting two judges have first chance to the burden on the referee in case of a disagreement by the judges, I have found that the more satisfactory method is to have three together and let the majority rule. Referee May Be Swaved. "Often the referee may be swaged by the crowd or may lean in his decision to referee be in the ring, of course, or break the boxers, see that no foul has been committed, or he uses work completed the boat is in progress, or he completed his judgment should count no skill or either judge, and each shall write his or either judge, and each of paper, to be given to a fourth person. "One man, regardless of how competent or experienced he is in the boxing game, can remember a specific case where Jimmy Clabby, of America, fought Dave Smith, of Australia, at my stadium, some time ago. I remember the case where I consider the best referee in the world called the bout a draw. Afterward he asked me to give him his decision. I thought he had taken, as to my mind Smith had won by a comfortable margin. The oldest boxing writer in Australia and the leading authority on the game as a writer, overheard our conversation and declared that in his opinion there was no doubt of Clabby's victory. He had all witnessed every round of the two boxing matches living in the boxing game and all experienced enough to figure who won the bout. He had all witnessed every round of the two boxing matches living in the boxing game and all experienced enough to figure who won the bout. He had all witnessed every round of the two boxing matches living in the boxing game and all experienced enough to figure who won the bout from different angles, and it appeared to us in a different way. **Pictures Show Only One Side.** He the moving pictures of a boxing bout give the famous battle between Jack Johnson and Tommy Burris, at the stadium in Chicago, the more important bouts, but were not shown in the pictures. It was the first time that Johnson had ever seen a picture machine, and he was eager to face it. "As a result, he was continually backing Burns around so that his own face, its smile of confidence, would be shown to Burns in the pictures, which were shown throughout America, will recall that the big Negro smile was always in evidence. Burns is one of the most effective punches were short right uppercuts and snappy left hooks, delivered at close range. The majority of them were still fully visible, but the camera and Tommy's head and shoulders completely hid them from the picture machine. It was apparent in the pictures that Burns was soundly beaten, but did not half tell how badly he was punished. "As an experiment one time I had two picture machines rigged up to 'take' a picture of Burns, and I stood side of the ring and the other directly beside the two films. It was simply a display of having a different view of the battle. "The same holds good for the human eye as the focus of a camera. Only one eye can be the superior one contestant's back, turned toward an venee critic or judge that person natives are important, as well as the signs of pain which often show on a boxer's face when he is hurt. What is missed on one side and what is missed on the other stage of having decisions undertaken by persons who see the battle from different angles. I am convinced that this method would prove more satisfactory in America than in Australia for the reason that most of the people who see the battle in affairs and in America bouts of this neight are permitted only on the coast. In a short bout it is generally more difficult than in a long one, but superiority is not so clearly demonstrated in a short contest as in a long one. The other shows signs of weakening before the end is reached. The shorter bouts are naturally faster, as a boxer is not compelled to keep a long battle; hence it is more difficult to keep a line on all the work done. This, no doubt, accounts for the varied success of the number of persons write about the same contest. They get different ideas because they look at the battle from different angles. "Since the system of getting decisions frozen in Australia there has been no produced in Australia there has been no ENGLISH FIGHTERS IN THE PRIZE RING (By Ray C. Pearson.) Whatever may be said of Great Britain's backward strides in athletics does not mean that the game of boxing, for the fighting sons who claim England and its colonies as home have emblazoned their names in bold type in the title of the game of boxing, for the fighting sons who have been in existence, that the Brits have at times milled against America for the honor of being the leading nation in the sport. Of necessity, this would mean that the British champions, and it can be said to the credit of these champions that they were champions in the titleholders who were titleholders who were credited by those who know the game with being as wonderful as ever were turned out by any nation, and that Great Britain and its colonies, which includes only the most important, certainly the most important, are Bob Fitzsimmons, Charley Mitchell, Bombadier Wells, Matt Wells, Owen Macleod, Ben Jordan, Billy Plummer, Jack Sullivan, Tom Trecay, Tom Trecay, Bob Brisolow, "Young" Grifo, Pedal Palmer, Will Curle, "Spike" Robinson, Digger Stanley, "Dick Burge" Evans, Dick Burge, Walter Crost. The greatest fighters of the British race have passed on, for those who are battling for glory in the ring today cannot by any stretch of imagination be compared to the famous boys of other days. As is the case in America, the class of puglils has taken a downward trend. Undoubtedly the greatest fighter that Great Britain ever turned out was Bob Fitzsimmons. Fitz came to this country and won the world's heavyweight championship, and at a time, too, when the classiest of glove performers were in the ring for battle, some of those being Jim Corbett, Tom Sharkey, "Kid" McCoy, Jim Jeffries and Gus Ruhlin. Fitz, who was known as the Cornnishman, was born in Elston, Cornwall, England, on June 4, 1862, but soon moved to Australia, and it was there that he entered the puglilistic game, which brought him glory for the remnant of the war. Bob was a freak of the ring, but a wonderful miller. With a small red head, huge shoulders and chest, and small skinny legs, which came close to the knocking point, he presented a wierd picture in the ring. But with his wise little head and a pair of long, powerful arms he contrived to do remarkable feats, the most famous of which was his knockout of Jim Corbett in fourteen rounds at Carson City, which brought him the world's championship. Fitz had shown long before he beat Corbett that he possessed the punch that sends an opponent into dreamland. He demolition man John Jackson, who was considered of fair caliber at that time. He beat Jack Dempsey, Dane Creedon and also Tom Sharkey, and held his title until he ran into Jeffries, the man who was the best player in the back' fight against Jack Johnson six years after he had officially retired from the ring. The Cornishman made other good fights after losing the title to Jeff, and in view of what the Boilermaker accomplished after beating Bob it is evident that Fitz beat Jackson, not nobody could beat, Bob, like the rest of nobody in the game to a bad finish, for the climax came when he was knocked out by Bill Lang, the Australian, in twelve rounds. Jack Johnson had stopped him in two rounds. Next to Fitz, the best British that ever competed for glory in the ring was the great Sir Jack Brabham of South Wales. In the minds of those who have followed the game Grifo was the cleverest that ever put on a glove. In his hands he knockouts, but that was before he gained the perfection of cleverness. It wasn't necessary for Grifo to knock out any lightweight to win. He was a 1 to 10 shot in attack and defense seemed by intuition to know just the correct thing to do. He was the greatest man at head slipping the ball. The Australian said slider has said after seeing him fight that the Australian could not have been beaten if his hands had been tied behind him, for he had been his head out of the way of his opponents's fast "Youna" Grifo, whose correct name is Albert Griffiths, made his best fights after he was born. He was bested such stars at that time as Solly Smith and Johnny Van Heest. He grilled with George Adjugine and George O'Neill, and was bested Australian, in Boston, and won in eight rounds. But Griffo didn't know how to handle it, and it was easy. It is said of him that after winning a fight his manager gave him $100, gave it to him $1 million, so that he was able to win the fight. When Griffo got it he went out and blew it in as fast as he found. Today he is penned, and the ask was made to him by the York magistrate. Some finish for the man who is considered the cleverest that ever was. Another of the clever type of battler was Billy Plimmer, the Birmingham boy. Plimmer wraa a fair hitter at that, but his main steer was a trade was his cleverness, and by the time he made it to the boxing George Dixon in four rounds, which was some achievement, while others whom he was successful, were the Van Heest. It was Pedal Palmer's time when Plimmer stacked up against him, the Pelair winning in fourteen rounds. Plim Palmer made great strides in the game, beating Walter Croat, Dave Sullivan and Plimmer, and drawing with George Dixon in six rounds before he was brought to this country to meet Champion Terry McGovern. Palmer met a knockout punch in the first round of that bout, and after that he made several good fights. It was a case of seesaw, as he won and lost alternately. The greatest big man of British pugdom outside of Fitzsimmons was Charles Mitchell. Mitchell was a member of the fraternity when John L. was champion, and their memorable battles never will be forgotten. The first time they met John L. won in three rounds, but the second time they struggled for thirty-nine rounds to a draw, showing that the British was some smart miller. Mitchell was a bare knuckle fighter as well as a glove man. His real finish as a topnotcher came when he met Jl mCorbett and was beaten in three rounds at Jacksonville, Fla. —Of those who are battle-for Great Britain today the best seems to be Great Britain, the Welsh lightweight, Welsh weight, the clever boy, but does not carry a knockout, as he won and lost, another lightweight, has shown that he does not quite belong in the top rank, and as for Bombardier Wells, the heavyweight, the best he can ever hope to hold is the championship of his own country.

Alonzo Gaten, well known in musical circles, both in Chicago and Indianapolis, roanoke street, Roanoke street, this city, last Monday morning at 11 o'clock, after a lingering illness lasting nearly a year. Mr. Gaten was the thirty-five year old son of the late Armstead Gaten and Sara Gaten-Johnson. The funeral services occurred in Mills chapel, C. M. E. church, Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock before a immediate relatives survive him: His daughter Nona; Mrs Sarah Johnson, his mother; Mrs Stella Harris, of Chicago, sister; Mrs Abane S. Felix; Herbert pilgrim; his mother. The career of Alonzo Gaten, although brief, was a remarkable one. At an age of 16, he was the first Gaten and found his value as a stanchion friend and a talented gentleman. Early in his career he showed much genius, including a successful comic opera comedian, and at an attempt in this line he made a great hit with the people of this community. His work was widely acclaimed, given at Big Bethel church, this city, to an overflowing half-white and half-colored audience. He made at least a dozen performances each time. And when the theatrical managers were talking of putting him on the road as star, he suffered a loss that he could not recover. A young wife, who was formerly Miss Willetta Carter, took suddenly ill and died, and it seemed that at her death they were all in her coffin and buried it with her. In the late years, at times, the old fire rallied in him, and he entertained in the house, the children, the tots, and stories, many times under struggle, for his heart was full of sorrow—yet he smiled. Later the old fire or ambition futures, he took to trap dummies, because he felt in his voice was gone and he could not tell a joke that used to make them laugh. He was displeased so far, that he left the old nation for the new one for the past three or four years, he had been making a record playing the drums in leading musical organizations of that age, his health would permit of no longer. He had his faults, I would have you know, but in face of that fact his good health had shadowed his bad ones. However, he is gone and we cannot fall to miss him, for he was of the sort that could not imitate in his peculiarity of kindness in touch with the expression of true friendship in my sight. A. M. E.
