"Wild-Cat News Stories" by Discredited Polifician Denied—Officials of Howard University Also on Trail of Literary Ananias—Trouble in the Air for Guilty One—"Courier" Manning to be Recognized—Two Ideal Appointments in the Treasury Department—Tenth Cavalry Receives Ovation. (By R. W. Thompson.) (Bureau of The Freeman, 1337 Wallace Place, N. W. Things are not always as black as they are reported by some folks. A few days ago a "wildcat correspondent," posing as the representative of a number of colorful organizations, insisted on a respectful matter, regardless of its reliability, gave out a statement that Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Williams had admitted intention to "denote or dismiss all of the colored clerks in the Treasury Department, beginning with those drawing the higher salaries and working down to those in the lower grades" or words to that Mr. Napier, whose reputation for veracity is such that no question can be denied, may say, promptly deny to your correspondent that any such interview with Mr. Williams had taken place. He denies that he had conversations on matters concerning the routine of the department, etc., nothing had been said on the subject of the correspondent. Mr. Williams had had conversations on matters concerning the routine of the department, etc., nothing had been said on the subject of the correspondent. This "universal statement" cuts to pieces the outgiving of an irresponsible John Shelton Williams is now arranging to cut down or dismiss the colored clerks of the $1,800 class. It is substantiated by Mr. Williams' statement to Mr. Narayan, the present Register of the Treasury. As Mr. Napier has denied that any such interview took place, the "wildest" correspondent is left alone with the colored clerks of the $1,800 class. The colored clerks have been disturbed by the false alarm, their disquietude may come to an end, as far as the report in these papers is concerned. This week attempts to "square up" his fuss by alleging that the decapitation process had been "postponed" because of his ally's accusations, and other consequently equally as "looney." No one believes that the "agitation" is being carried on in good faith or that the government is intended to bring to them any benefit. There is an evident intent to "get even" with somebody in satisfaction of a grievance, and the government's former attache of the department, and is stirring up all this strife with a view of embarrassing both the authorities and the government, and is trying to retain their places on their merits. The colored employees of the government are attending strictly to their business, allowing the outsiders to do the work rong. Howard University Also After the Ananias Penman. Miss Hershaw to Teach in Indianapolis. Miss Alice May Hershaw, an honor graduate of the high and normal schools of this city, has been appointed to a position in the Indianapolis, Ind.

She was highly recommended by the local schools, and is the recipient of hearty "wongratulations" at the hands of her many friends. She has had a successful career in the night schools, and appears to be naturally gifted for the life work she has chosen. Miss Hershaw is the second woman in her career to years a high-grade clerk in the General Land Office, Interior Department, a graduate of Atlanta University, and a teacher in the public school. Mrs. Hershaw is identified with many public movements, is an officer in a number of civic and religious codes, and is a trustee of the University of Indiana. Mrs. Hershaw is scarcely less active in the work of racial uplift. Coming from such desirable stock, the success of Miss Hershaw in her new field would seem well assured.

Davis, Solicitor General of the United States, began a determined war against the "grandfather" Southern States, which have for their object the disfranchisement of colored citizens, without in any manner affording them the right to money or education. In a brief filled this week with the Supreme Court of the United States in behalf of the reverent Negroes, the court issued the "grandfather clause", as used, violates the Fifteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution, because it excludes Negroes of color or previous condition of servitude. The case in point comes up from the courts of the State of Oklahoma on an argument that answering the one of the right of the Negroes had been invaded through the operations of the grandfather classes, "answering the one of the grandfather classes", "If the disfranchisement of the illiterate Negro were not its purpose, the clause may be declared a full right of emancipation of minors, and the amendment inevitably discriminates between the class of illiterate whites and illiterate blacks as a class, to the overarching disadvantage of the latter." The case of the colored Knights of Pythias, contending on appeal books for an early hearing in the United States Supreme Court. Both actions will be ably handled by the Court, but in any case it will be pretty thoroughly aired with the next few weeks in the nation's highest tribunal.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION When it comes to America's poets, James Whitcomb Riley is a sort of a last of the Mohicans. Andy Kreitlein, well known in business circles, is announced as a candidate for the board of school commissioners. Mr. Kreitlein says that he will watch carefully the interests of all if chosen. He solicits the votes of all. He is an upright citizens and deserving of consideration. Senator Vardaman in announcing his anti-Negro intentions recently omitted his proposed rape of the Constitution. Association begets assimilation, is an old saw, yet it seems to be well exemplified in the Vardaman case. He doubtless has found on going to Washington that nothing was doing what he was thinking about. Aent the Governor Sulzer impeachment case; if all of those in office were put out who failed to report to a penny their campaign expenses, there would not be a sufficient number of persons left to run the government. The fact does not help the governor, but it shows that the prosecution is malignant rather than righteous. Lee L. Brown, of Louisville, the colored candidate for the legislature of Kentucky, has a fighting chance for election, scarcely more. The registration of a few days ago was as follows: Democrats, 855; Progressives, 571; Republicans, 643, and the Independents, 171. Mr. Brown figures on getting the whole Republican vote and a part of the Progressive and Independent votes. His prospects are good, and speculative, even if not bright. James Whitcomb Riley was in it this week, last Tuesday, which was another one of his birthdays. Just which one is not a thing of general publicity. He is essentially a poet of the children, but he has written something for everybody. Take him, all and all, he is a poet of the people. His poems are mostly as moving pictures of those phases of life which most of us know most about. Those phases, like the real pictures of ourselves by the photographers, are touched by a master hand. But we know ourselves, for all that—through what has been, what is and what is yet to be! Riley, at once childlike and profound, simple and sublime, humble and glorious, stands alone, the one name of American poesy, at this time, that reads well with all of those that have gone before. REV. DR. J. W. WOOD In the Interest of Girls' Dormitory, Livingstone College. Rev. Dr. Wood, secretary of missions of the A. M. E. Zion church, after a stay of ten days in this city, Indianapolis, has gone to his field of labor. By the way, the doctor has been assigned a new duty. He will travel in the interest of the girl's dormitory of the Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C., a position to which he was appointed by Dr. Goler, president of the institution. Dr. Wood will first go to Morristown, Tenn., in the interest of his new work. He will tour Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia within the year, closing with Alabama, where he will spend considerable time. The church, he says, at this time is in a better condition than ever before. From every direction good reports come in as to the progress being made in Alabama, being to the church this year, being $20,000 in excess of that of the last two years. The membership is increasing, and the church is growing in popularity, generally. Rev. Dr. Wood is favorably mentioned for the episcopal bench. In fact, his useful activities in connection with his character, ability and experience as a candidate whether he cared to make the fact of his candidacy known or not. THE EX-SLAVE PENSION MOVE MENT; Mrs. Callie D. House, secretary of the ex-slave pension movement, was in the city last Monday. She was on her return home to Nashville, Tenn., from Wash.'s *ton*. D. C., where she had met and conferred with members of congress relative to the movement. She expressed herself as satisfied at its progress, having faith as to a final outcome for good. The Freeman has not had a large stock of faith in the hoped-for end of the ex-slave pension movement. We have not opposed it because in our opinion something is due the aged slaves who now find themselves more or less dependent on charity. But it is up to the newspapers and leaders of public thought and expression to speak to the people, the race, out of a clearer vision of things. If we know what is good for us we will not assist in befuddling the people, regardless of our hopes and desires. The ex-slave pension movement was founded in good. The promoters seem to be honest, earnest persons whose chief thought is to relieve the distress of aged Negroes who were once slaves. Such a movement, on its face, if seems, would at once dai mthe attention of philanthropy, and on the thee side of the nation, the bounty of the nation, they having served so well without reward. If that were the only side, we think that long ere this ample provision would have been made for the deserving ex-slaves. The other side. Aye, there's the rub. The masters lost their investments, their governmental-sanctioned investments, investments countened by the laws, legal investments. Perhaps it may be held that it is not up to us to push that end of the proposition. Yet, unless we take a larger view, seeing the situation as a whole, we will fall in rendering to the people what is due them. The former owners are quiet enough in the matter of pay for slaves, but that's no sign that they are indifferent to the object of the slave movement. If they thought there was a reasonable show for the punishment scheme, they would become active enough, insisting on remuneration for their losses. And this would be right and reasonable in view of the facts. We stand for homes for the ex-slaves who find themselves without means and without relatives and friends on whom to depend. It is shameful if a single one suffers want in any form that can be ordinarily supplied. The theory of Christianity, of any religion, or humanity, revolts at the thought of these who forcibly gave away their youth and strength to others. We stand for homes find themselves in the discard—useless and hopeless. We stand for homes for these, anywhere, everywhere, as freely as those provided for the old soldiers who come and go as freely as the waters that flow. WHAT PRESIDENT WILSON MAY MEAN. President Wilson is being tried by the race for what seems to be his neglect of Negro applicants for office and for his seeming indifference to the segregation movement in the offices at Washington. The following note was found circulating about in the recent Washington dispatches: "Representative Henry George, of New York, who desired to recommend several Negroes in his district for appointment to federal offices, called at the White House today to learn President Wilson's attitude on such appointments. Mr. Wilson told the New York representative to ascertain the sentiment of members of the senate on that question." The President does appear cool, formal, indifferent, and perhaps studiously so. It strikes us that he has a method in it all. If he were studiously indifferent, it is not unreasonable to think that he will have occasion to act in our behalf in a more seasonable time. For instance, there has been much anti-Negro legislation proposed. More than one congressman owes his seat in that body to Negro hostility. It means that we may expect some hostile demonstration in congress within a year or so at the furthest. If not, then so much the better. We are in opposition to calamity shriekers, nor do we intend to enlist in the same cause; but we will not get away from the fact that men went to congress with the Negro as the paramount issue. We hope that sanity has tamed them, converted them as St. Paul, when going to Damascus by that overvoice of reasoning, and in consonance with the latter-day humanities. It may be that the President holds himself in splendid reserve, as it were, knowing the probable legislation yet to be attempted. He may stake all on the one thing of nullifying by his veto any legislation that he believes is harmful to Nepal citizenship. It's no flight of imagination to think this. Mr. Vardaman, of Mississippi, has promised his constituents the mullification of those parts of the Constitution that established Negroes as citizens. He is not alone. President Wilson, before election, avowed most beautifully and most solemnly that he would see to it that nothing of profound ill should befall us. Were he only an ordinary citizen, bound by ordinary ties to stand for righteousness, we could not think of him failing at the test. But he is no ordinary citizen; he is bound by more than ordinary ties to preserve the Negroes in their rights, essentially. He has the honor of a great schoolman, whose business it has been to teach and essence—its quintessence, and as we think it, an embodiment of the thing he has, in addition, the honor of him who heads a nation, and to who mute citizens look up to pretty much as children to to respectful fathers. How can he escape his duty in event Mr. Vardaman et al. press him? Again we insist that it may be the President's intent to throw himself in the breach when the essentials of citizenship are threatened. Until then it may be necessary for him to act in accord with his party in the smaller, although allied, states of the United States, refuse of offices and such like. Who knows but what President Wilson is reserving a trump card against a fearful possibility? DALLAS, TEX. The Paper Ahead! Each Week—Why the Goal Cannot Be Reached. (By Col. J. G. Griffin, Freeman Head quarterback, Street; M. P. 1872.) (M. P. 1872.) THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER We ask members of the race who are making good to lend a helping hand to the people in need, to help these mistakes, and co-operate with them in reaching a better destiny in the uplifting influences of the needed good of today. If you expect to get your part of the patronage you must be willing to do. Put your wares up to the people here and there at as low prices as the other fellow, and give satisfaction. It takes time to build up your business with our people, but it will go, and so we must be willing to do. Put your customers right after you have them. The social side of life is often brought up against our colored folks in business. Let every Negro who has been spending his or her hard-earned dollars with the white flames mall to me ask for help. We socially entertained their Afro-American customers on the line that many of the race do kick about and lay causes, and with the colored merchants, and there will be something doing for a time to come in these columns, to your credit. The unreliability on the part of some members of the race everywhere must be borne by others who have got something to sign a bond, a doctor, stand for the medicine or the for sending some money one to his home, who has lost his health.

It seems that everything these three pitchers bring up on the field has been able to win two of the three games that the Spruceids have won from the Plutos. Up to date the Plutos have not found a club that was strong enough to keep them from scoring, while the Red Devils have shut the door in twenty clubs, forcing the Spruceids falling victims on three teams.

(By Sylvester Russell.) The day of competition, which has so arrogantly trotted to dawn upon the peaceful promenade of the theatrical State theater, has quiet resilient of white managers who run colored theaters. It was a nice thing for colored performers, even if they are not the ones who supply new houses. In changing the policy of the Merit theater, Manager Fred Howson has not only kept in pace with the colorful theaters, but offers a defiance to opposition by booking colored acts over a white local circuit in Chicago, to save performers the unfair expenses.

There was more than one song bird, but Nettle De Coursey was the real artist-star of the show at the Grand last Monumental Stroll, which had a good singing chorus, a fine ladies' quartette and two clever end men. "Garden of Sunshine and Tears" by the band Reed was a good specialist-in-general, especially in his parodies. Arthur Cain was also a good comedian and with the Transgender gave a good music. The colored picture was highly adjectified, presented the National Baptist Jubilee, Fisk University, Mehary Medical College, and Booker T. Washington, who was also a well-known preacher, veered by his people. The pictures were especially good. The last half of last week included a picture of Jack Shepherd a fair comedian, the Bimbes, burlesquers; Allegro, a fiddler, and "The Rakeoff," a crook story, all white. Because of a continual new variety novels, large houses are now the rule. Jim White and Erb Robinson Make a Hit at the States Theater.

I court the pussy cats by night: I rumble in the cold barn hay: And every Tom who talks of right, is disposed of, yes, right away.

Of Unbroken Progress 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 skoptical. 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 of 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, $300; 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, $190; 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; Chambers for adult females, $15; 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 price of the charter fee. For organizers, the minister would set up temple of sixty men at 82 acres, 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. This offer will not remain open indiscretely, and you had better write today for terms. Address all communications to Wm. Alexander, N. G. M., 504; W. Ninth St., Little Rock, Arkansas.

For the benefit of acts who are so filled in importance that they feel too good to handle the colored man, who has gone through the process of training him to him still realize a few shillings, the white brother has become with the longer cares to his services. When he wishes to help the white man he is polite, prompt and sober; to be if he wishes to earn the salary he has been promised. Never before had he seen anything that could because I felt there was no need, as if no other man, can command a complete change of circumstances that now surpasses the salary he sck in bed. I subtle the management of me to my wife and my friend. I must be the man that has the Russells and me secure two tickets for them, costing me $7.40 for the two. They arrived unexpected on Monday. They were informed that the manager was sck, but the manager was not at once demanded to be removed from the office as he did not like the position.

Pugh and Pugh AT THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER. Tim E. Owsley, Manager Capacity business at the Crown Garden last Monday night. All through the week business continued first class, proving the quality of the entertainment. The staff were eager to seeing. Manager Owsey has been sick abed this week, but his faithful wife and other assistants held the fort. However, the staff were busy by wire at all times with the house, and a very good thing, too. On Monday evening it was necessary for him to direct affairs from his sick bed. And he did it in no soon forget. THE TWO SWEETS, WILLIE AND LULA. Kid Character Performers. Their character was adapted by the Garden Gardener, Come when they may, often as they may, they are always good. They are always good. They are always good. That is, they do not exaggerate but very little. Miss Sweet can child in such a way as to make one forget that she is just playing, but, of course, the advantage is can be said of her male partner; but, of course, the advantage is that she is a woman, hence it is easier for her to be childish. Miss Sweet has got the splendid dress and very little. A shake of the head, a sentence now and then, a romp, occasionally jumping up and down, tells the story. Of course, she adds the dress and styling style she takes of her mother. MARTIN AND MOTELY. Refined Entertainers. Martin and Motely are known to the Crown Garden patrons, having played there before in the Park. The Porter and the Crown Garden are back in the new act, and a good one. Martin is very good, having the style of the best performers, regardless of color. Rosa Kerns is a great stage manners and her nice singing.

Haven't heard Thelma? Haven't seen them before? What's that thing. This man does a splendid woman character, one that defies detection unnaturally. He's a short-cropped man head. He is wedded to his art. His gowns are stunning, also lists his clothes. The men envy his costume. The men envy him until the "fatal uncovering," when more than one was heard to say, "Well, NEW YORK NEWS. The Lincoln Theater Lafayette Theater. Ludla Blaisdell, the living statue, was seen in some great posses and pleased with the traction, assisted by Dot Keller, a very clever pianist, did well. These two work fine together. Flo and Wynne, a sister of the opening one, opened her opening one pulls her wig, making her appear as a boy. She then exits, leaving the other to sing. Then the two run out and join the part in hand, looking the part of some swolde dude. She plays and acts the part well. They close their act leaving the other to play the part in a man or woman. They were quite a bit on this bill, Luckstone and Campbell, the Dutch woman and the inspector, did a nice act. Another act—please excuse the big overgrown hams, a man and woman by the name of McDonald and Williamson, the new to have some great big overgrown hams. It should have been a bunch of bricks. They were extra, and only lasted Pugh and Pugh, High-Class Enter- Recent acts at the Crown Garden show that the performers are giving unusual attention to their wardrobe. This is particularly true of this act. Miss Pugh appears on the set of the movie Beautiful Miss Teanow's tango crown, a Parisian creation. The costume made EMANUEL E. PUGH. an impression on the female portion of the audience. Remarks were heard in straits of her, however, she does not do her tango dance in this gown. She has one, resplendent gold in effect, looking quiet and innocent enough in repose, but when she dances it open as freely as the petals of a rose, permitting the necessary movements of her limbs. The team enters singing "Teach Me there's an innocence about what she does that might not appear so in some one else. She knows what to do to make it happen. Wille Two Sweet, as said when he was here before, is the cleverest boy in the room. He plays the booby, permitting all sorts of pranks to be played on him. He stands for it all. He writes his own songs and sings them with such evidence of understanding that it dignity is seen through song and rendition. The team concluded to do their old act at this, their return engagement within two weeks, with the only difference is two songs one of them by request. They are: "Mamma Don't Allow No Easy Talking Here" and "Mamma Don't Know Where I Am At." The audience is thrilled by the performance, sang a parody on "You Certainly Look Good to Me" and "Snoopy Newkoms," entertaining. The Two Sweets will be at the Monogram, Chicago, next week. show the layed the in the very per- Rosa one show. The Vaughner & Holiday company came through with some real redhot stue. The act consists mostly on high-class singing, in which the ladies have a fine chance to display their talent as singers, and they do. Holiday hits the place of the straight man, while Vaughner successfully furnishes the com- edy. They have a nice act and it was Housley and Nichols, two real actors, stormed the show with their own original way of putting the stuff over which they had any and every bill. Try and hear them do that cornet and violin duo; then you walk away with some extra attraction. These boys are going to make everybody stop and take notice after a while. They are talkers, dancers, and sing very well. They are more well-used, well-used, Barton, extra, did well. In the last half, Mexican Herman and company, in a comedy magic and illusion act, were good. They were good. Majestic Trio went big. Jane Rose and company, in an act, "The Girl from Horsehead Desert was great." Housley and Nichols again closed the show with a scream. Crescent Theater Curran and Maxwell, in their Italian act, went fair. La Cosa went big. Blycone, the unridable mule, was the act of the actress. Borgia and Livingstone did another one of their acts which was a record breaker. In the last half were the New Boys, quite a number of them, but rather a poor act, with a great sense of humor well. Clarence Powell, one of the old school, and star of the Georgia Minstrels for years, did a monologue full of humon and wit. His songs were good. Mr. Powell was the best of them, his own in working that catches an audience. He was the hit of the bill. The Mississippi Trio was good, and their singing and dancing pleased. This week those two were on the boards. Family Theater. Davis and David did just fair. Palmer and Woods was another one of those bum acts, that should be closed in every house. They would be allowed to maybe they would allow some one to write a real act for them, with which they would be able to do it. They did very well. They are good dancers, Washburn and Piper did a good act and were well received. So were Brodacnexus, who the white Nehols was sick, played in the play they had booked. The act went very good. Pioneer Theater The Nelson Crosby Triw was a tremendous big hit at this house. Peat and Walker were at the same. Murphy and Walker were a riot. This Monday, the Arms, Billy and Grace. Franklin Theater We are still having pictures here. The feature is Elkirk, the Arizona Kid. 59th Street Theater The stock has closed here, and the show is again straight vaudeville.

"Sorry to say it, but the Billy Ward, 'Dear Billy,' the show closed soon after its opening, and everybody is back in dear old New York. Those two fellows, Williams and Stevens are at the Crescent this week. For how long, did you say? Until they get tired, thank you. J. Lubrie Hill's show is expected to take the road now at any time. Everything is about ready. It's being whispered around that Williams and Stevens are going out this season. THEATRICAL NEWS. (By Billy E. Jones.)

Miss Pugh is straight helped in giving a go to Mr. Pugh's comedy. His dancing is about the oldest seen on the Crown Garden stage. He sang "Buzzin' Around," which was well received. LIZZIE B. PUGH. of Miss Pugh sang in a dainty, taking way d in "O Beautiful Son." This song is really dance, too pretty for the title, also too pretty for sang. In effect it is a beautiful lyric. It does close with "You Are Going to Wish taking You Had Me Back," ending up with the pretty tango dance. They do this in fine the style, being set out by their vocumes, especially that of Miss Pugh.

Hoboken Fighter Earns Honors in Seven Out of Ten Rounds at Madison Square Garden—No Knockdowns Scored, but Each Is Staggered. NEW YORK—Joe Jeanneville, of Hoboken, earned a match with Jack Johnson for the heavyweight title by outpitting Sam Langford in the first round. He went the limit at hibernation, A.C. the night of October 3. Jeanneville clearly outboxed Langford in seven out of ten rounds, but scored a knockdown, but each staggered his opponent once. At the finish Langford's right eye was slightly pitted. Jeanneville his lips slightly pitted. Jeanneville did not show a mark when he left the ring. It was not a great battle, such as the one they fought nearly two years ago, but the knockdown. Jeanneville blocked the majority of Sam's right books to the face, deleting them either to his neck or to Langford was the first to enter the ring. He was a wild green robot who was splashed with pink flowers. Jeanneville followed his opponent closely. Joe Both came up fresh as soon as the seventh round opened. Sam crossed over two rights to Joe's back and landed Langford's shoes with a hard left short hook. As close quarters Sam ripped up three punches which landed on Joe's shook Langford up with a hard left to the face and followed it up with a hard right uppercut. Sam rushed into a clench. Sam tried to punch, but Langford pulled the punch. When Langford went to his corner his seconds patched up his right eye. Langford started the cigar round and his left hand was as soon as his cushion of his corner, but before he could start another blow Joe hooked his two with lefts to the face. Langford but his left hand was right and left hooks, but the blues were blocked. Joe began to close up Langford's right eye with a short left hook. He two left to Langford's face without a return. Joe nearly tossed Sam off his balance with a right to the chin and then blocked Sam's return to Langford's face away. Joe began tearing in with long lefts to Sam's face as soon as the ninth stance. Laufford could not get him away. After a breakaway Joe shot over a hard right that made Sam's hand appear hard and at close quarters damaged Sam's left eye. Both began to tear in as soon as the sounded on the left, the ripped over and left and Langford played for the stomach. Joe damaged Langford's lips with a hard right, the step to Sam's face. Langford was wide oven and Joe handed another hard left, so swung a hard right to the stomach. Joe swung hard right to the face and Langford apparent. Joe landed the last punch, and swung to the jaw, just as the belt $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS.

The Proposed Smith and Langford Scraps—Some More Views as to the Failure—The Importance of the Failure—Failed—Langford Loses to Jeannette. (By Billy Lewis.) Last week I tried to show in a general way the cause of the failure of the proposed Smith-Langford bout. Considerable more testimony is in a lawsuit against the match to be called off. It appears that an opinion was asked of Attorney-General Carmody concerning that "mixed bouts could be prohibited, provided there was no discrimination against colored boxes because of their color." Carmody also argued that commission legal right to make special rules, regulations and amendments to govern the sport, but that a Negro had as much right to box in a licensed club as a white boxer. He went on to say that a mixed bout could be prohibited by the commission if in its opinion, it might prompt disorder or bitter This ruling is notably fair, and different to what I conceived it to be before我 thought it would be wrong, it was not thought that the attorney ever erased the match. One thinks of the beautiful construction of his opinion, and it was not thought that the attorney ever as indifferent is when he says "that a mixed bout could be prohibited by the commission" it should have been denied. But it was not thought that the disorder or bitter mental feeling." Sure, sure, if there were such a possibility it should have been denied. But it was not thought that the commission should have been as fair as the attorney-general. If it had been left to him, judging by the tend of the court, he would have bout, I do not mean that he would have personally cared for it. He would have done it. No do I mean to say that he would have stood for the go if he saw that race friction was probable. Of course, there was a result of competition in any field when colored and whites are competitors. And it would be a result of commission fits as a result of competition fits. But it would have since the thing of race feeling is general, and unless it reaches the acute stage, matters will find out to right on as if everything is likely. Here follows comment seen in a leading newspaper. "Various stories are in circulation. It was said that word had come from Albany that certain political influences that that it was one-sided and that the almost certain knocking out of Smith by the Tar Baby would result in a crusade against boxing in the state of New York and that the public would be bullied. As a matter of fact enemies of the Garden A. C. were spreading the fake story several days ago, and through investigation, were sure that the bout would be honestly contested." Joe Woodman, Langford's manager, got all riled up about the matter as he should have been, and he spoke slightly about Mr. Woodman, even if Sam is his "meal ticket." He has had to confront Tar Baby. He has against the word with that supreme confidence that has made Sam something to dread. And he has had a good thing all right. If all or no colored people were white folks as Sam Langford has proven to Joe Woodman—peaches! I think that when Sam turns a $10,000 trick his black face is very beautiful to Joe. Here is "This is a clear case of discrimination. If I am convinced that the three members of the commission, by their vote, made the damages against each of them and also against the state of New York. Of course it would be a waste of time to apply for a lawsuit against each of them. A. C has cancelled the bout. But Langford has legal rights and under the Levy law I am told that he can collect damages. There will hardly be any collection for damages. As was said last week in this column that the commission appeared fair in that the races were merely held apart, one being as much as in the way it appears on the surface. But there's no need of again threeding out that little piece of duplicity. The Negro boxers may meet Negro boxers, is the ruling of the commission. This is the case in the film Wide this was meant none too seriously, yet it is that in its strictest sense. The Negroes cannot compete in the general contest where the big doubles are, but must content themselves with being side show attractions. This would not matter a little to them if they were in the same kind of love. Well, the major Sam has fallen, and at the hands of Joe Jeannette, who was considered the weaker of the big four Negro fighters—Johnson, McVey, Langford, Jeannette. The sporting world did not expect to see a Negro boxer off in New York on October 3. But the story is told when it is known that Langford entered the rina weighing practically the same weight as the frame is not made to carry so much excess obesity—so much fat—dead weight. Langford was fettered in the effort to be amenable. He is below the average height. His weight when in action before he has grown fuller, yet he cumberms himself with all that extra flesh. The same frame work that withstood his former pounds was the same consequence. What results was the moral consequence. His defeat is disappointing. Jeannette, the tailender of the "quarterette," does him much work. He is not the only mieried to the last of the group, and from where he is threatened by scores of heavyweights. Alas, poor Sam! "Farewell to Jeannette has not been without admirers. The Hoboken pug has been coming up for quite a while, his recent past scraps, and he has been a significant. He won them all, whatever they may have amounted to. This fact kept it mini-impetuous until he was significantly more reputed. But it is plain to see that he was losing no time in getting in a fight, and his decisive beyond the fact that Jeannette outclassed Langford, who without doubt failed through his own assaults. He will remain to be seen. If Johnson remains idle too much he will also take on too much flesh and blood, and with proper man remembrance done. From the turn of things, Jeannette has the call in America, and will have until one Jack Johnson returns to us to unleash him. Should he fail, then all Joe Jeannette!

Harvey (Kid Hoy), the recognized colored middleweight champion, visited Indianapolis, en route for ExxonMobil, the gym he was matched against Jim Black, the pride of that section. Both are big, tough artists, and on October 6, on the staircase colored men are stacked to box ten rounds. There is much talk of this big match and the tall salute that comes to the tall staircase attendance to cheer the winner of this main event. While little has been known of Mr. Hoy, only by the reading in past matches, the tall staircase took place throughout Indiana.

MILWAUKEE—Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champions, will meet in a ten-round no-decision game at Chicago on May 13. The former champions will meet at catch weights. Wolgast will train on his Michigan, farm and Nelson will work out in Chicago. PHILLADEPHIA—Tommy Howell, the Italian welterweight, defeated Young Jack O'Brien in the windup at Olympia, where he won the season. Howell proved too strong for O'Brien, who had considerable advantage in height and reach, which he used to good purpose in outpointing Howell at long range, but his blows had little effect. Ray Bronson, of Indianapolis, claimant of the welterweight championship, has been asked to meet Mellly Griffith, at Erie, Pa., in the near future. The last time Ray hooked with this lad, he found him a tough proposition, being last to a draw. The next round has produced, to do better next occasion. He will go into training immediately, as he realized, that he is up against him and wants to offer no excuses if he fails to cop as decisively as he feels he ought. NEW YORK—Desiring some night attraction for thousands of baseball fans, the Yankees are playing a series game, arrangements were today made for a bout between Gunnel Smith and Carl Morris, the Oklahoma Giant. The big game was for the battles in Madison Square Garden. LIMA, O.—Jack McFhee of this city, welterweight champion of the south and Pacific const, yesterday was matched to meet Milly Walters, navy terror, before October 7. McFhee on October 7. McFhee has agreed to weigh in at 142 pounds, while his opponent will make 145. The local boy has been hooked up in several battles. with Pacific coast wetterweights. He is after a battle now with McFearn York and may be in the fight to meet the stocky man in Ft. Wayne. With the idea of getting off the bush league circuit, where he has spent by far too great a portion of his histic career, Jack Dillon, of Indianapolis, has hooked up with the Walters, Jim Walters. How long the arrangements will last, of course, no one can foretell, as Dillon is notorious for his sadness over the loss of his son, that Walters has a better chance to stick than anybody, as he seems to possess a great skill. Walters was Walters who got him his first big fight with Eddie McGoory, at Fond du Lac, in 1911, and originally brought him to the United States, quite as busy since. Walters's first move, after taking hold of the bearcat's affairs, was to take over the Georges Carpenter, the French champion, Dillon has defeated practically everyone of consequence in the United States, he sees, and with a victory over the foreigner, could be accolled champion of the world. AMONG OUR NEWS PAPER WORKERS Compiled Under Direction of the National Negro Press Association. Henry Allen Boyd's National Negro Newspaper Directory is "going like hot cakes," he says, "early in the year for complete list of Negro newspapers, where they are and who conducts them. This unique booklet answers all questions, is like to ask about journalism, is like to explain action all about the postal laws, gives the proceedings of the National Negro press Association, is like to search in search of the est advertising mediums, etc. Mr. Boyd's address is 447 Fourth avenue, North, Nashville. The booklet be revised from time to time and kept in touch with the latest developments in the line of Negro journalism. It is said that arrangements are being rapidly perfected for the launching of a new race paper at Washington, D.C. H any community between the Washington and D.C. that will reflect the best thought of the cultured and well-conditioned colored people within its community at Washington. A clean journal to clean people," would make a hit at the nation's capital. It is a sheer waste of time to indulge in jeremies over the Press Association in "yeen old tyme" would do well to join hands with the promoters of the Press Association of today and the young in "yeen old tyme" with the wisdom experience and all-pervading knowledge of what ought to be done to make the past more relevant to the past, walling over the past, gentlemen, and to work. The "real editors" of the present form a ne nucleus around which the past may enthusiastically rally. The Cleveland Gacte, edited by the sturdy Harry C. Smith, has entered upon its thirty-first year. Mr. Smith has been a member of the Press Association responsible for the presence on the statute books of the Buckeye state for several of the laws guaranteeing broader privileges to the colored people. Lee L. Brown, editor of the Louisville News, has been nominated for the Kentucky legislature on the one hand, and the Iraq colored man to be nominated for this responsible post and if the colored voters stand by him as they should his election is proposed, he will be the fourth ward of the Falls City, where the colored people hold the balance of power. They should eschew factionalism and essential differences, and rally around Editor Brown as one man. This is not "politics"—it is a plea for racial advancement. "It is the essential difference of Lincoln, Clay and of Harlan would go far to hearten the Negroes of the entire country. As representative Editor Brown would give an excellent account of himself, According to the Amsterdam News, New York City, the following well-known journals have been asked to attend at the recent meeting of the National Negro Press Association in Philadelphia, Amsterdam News, Indy, Arbro American Lege, Baltimore, Md.; Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee; East Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee; Dow, Dallas, Express, Dallas, Tex.; Louisville, News, Louisville, Ky.; The Advocate, Cambridge, Mass.; The Advocate-Verdict, Harrisburg, Pa., and the Journal and Globe, Norfolk, Va.

The machine, which is in action in the lobby of the Crescent Theater, by insertion of a camera, takes a photograph of a person in the astonishing short time of one minute, or one enlargement in one day. The pictures are said to be as good as any turned out at the best studios. The moving picture of the Press Association of Philadelphia by Hunter C.
