The waiters have every evidence that they liked the service the colored waiters gave them. The head waiter, Mr. George A. Johnson, has taught his discipline and general direction of the men was of the highest order.

Judge Kavanaugh
It was O'Connell who said, "If the Irish were continually persecuted they would be persecuted into greatness." Not only did Judge Kavanaugh give the Superior Court because of conditions similar to the Negro felt keenly and appreciated the deeply wounded heaped upon him because of racism people, and it was this feeling that led Judge Kavanaugh to self so forcibly and manly in an address before the Irish Fellowship Club at the University of Chicago. "Not only did Judge Kavanaugh speaks of the wrong done the Negro, but he suggested and recommended constructive means to this awful race prejudice the Negro in the University of Chicago. All of the daily papers spoke of the address, but as usual gave it a small space. The Chicago Journal gives the occasion."
"Ten million, Necroes of the United States are crying out for simple justice, according to Judge Marcus Kavanaugh, an attorney for the Irish Fellowship Club at the Hotel La Salle recently, who recommended the appointment of a commission by Congress to look into the question of 'awful prejudice against the Negro race' and report back a plan for certification. This committee, together with the most fearful tragedy of 'justice', "This country must do something with the increase in the number of the Negro incarcerate, each decade; the cure for the situation is the simple, fine old remedy of justice. How much have we freed the Negro? He is unable to engage in any wage-earning employee carriage or to put a Negro in the same carriage. There is not a great store that dares employ a Negro behind the counter. There is not a street car company that can put a Negro in the same carriage. "Let a Negro get employment as a brickmaker, electrician, bookkeeper at equal wage and the white men will quit striking the place. "Want you to own up and family in a decent, honorable and high-minded Negro and his family. The time has come when the big brained men and women of this country must do something."
The American Negro in finding so stunach a friend and supporter in the person of Judge Kavannah is to be conquered by the white men whose veins are so full of red blood that it forces him to speak his true words. The Negro has cause to feel elated over what the judge has said, because it is a positive step in the adjustment of the rest of the Negro community coming from so great a man, representing the entire Irish race, will no doubt have its effect. The Freeman represents the Negro on the following day to see the speech and he had only one typewritten, and the editor of the Chicago Defender got it, which he wrote with great hope that every reader of the Freeman will read and digest that part of the address when he says that he should be given employment and urge our white

LOUISVILLE, KY.
Rev. William Ford, of London, England, in Town—The Perry Centennial—Madam Preston's Recital—Candidate. Brown's Chances.
(By Melville Perdue, 1219 W. Chestnut Street.)
Mary. Mrs Shawler has announced the marriage of her daughter Carrie Loraine to Mr. Thomas Manier. The wedding took place Tuesday, September 23, 1913.
Madame Preston is entertaining extensively throughout the city, is extending her interest in the recitals as being given quite an ovation wherever she appears. It is very seldom that the citizens of London are excused by stenosis that rank with Madame Preston, and we consider it quite a privilege to have her in our midst.
Rev William Ford, London, England, a graduate from Metropolitan University, London, England, was through this week to visit the University of Porto Rico and is in the United States merely on a sight-seeing tour. He is seeing America for the first time. Dr. Ford was very anxious to meet him, and gave to him a message from their bredren across the seas, but owing to his engagements could not stay over any longer than to adhere to the schedule of the University in their campel exercises.
Prof. Hayson of Washington, D. C., is sojourning in our city for a few days. He is a writer and artist in England as an America. The city is enjoying this feast of intellectual giants, such as Dr. Ford and Rev. Hayson, who have favored us enough to keep in touch. The Ladies' Lilac Embroidery Club was entertained at Mrs. Annie Booker's residence, 1948 Cedar street, last Friday. The moon, the stars, and the decorated colors of the club. Those were were: Mrs. Barbee of Winchester, Mrs. T. Murry, Mrs. Eliza Hunger, Mrs. T. Murry, Mrs. Eliza Hunger, Mrs. T. Murry, Mrs. Eliza Hunger, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. F. Sellers, Miss Hinton, Miss Laura Hopkins, Mrs. Nancy Phillips, Mrs. Susie Mitchell and other ladies, who enjoyed themselves to the nigh-
The Perry Centennial is over and we colored people are glad. The city was beautifully illuminated and the fireworks and patriotic arches are to be seen. The centennial was a failure because it lacked accurate historical prejudice, race prejudice, is a little thin and is the centennial as a Perry Centennial, yet it did. Colored people were denied admission to the Centennial and were granted a grand parade, the committee giving as their reason for not admitting them that the Afro-American had no part in the celebration, naturally the celebration. Every colored child, no matter how small, knows better, yet the exalted centennial committee seemed ignorant of the fact.
Louisville is now in the midst of a registration, with Lee L. Brown, a candidate, and the native figure in the Tenth ward, Mr. Brown is running. The first day's registration is Democratic, Progressives, 571; Republicans 48. Independents, 171. The only get all of the Republican votes, the only part of the Pride and independents.
There was a run here this week on one of the local banks. The Kentucky Savings Bank, the number colored banks have a money deposited, paid every person who called for their money and has its doors still open.
Dr. E. E. Underwood passed through the city en route from Frankfort to St. Louis, Mo., to attend to some business regarding the Pythian Lodge.
Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor of the Navy, is scheduled to speak at the Y. M. Navy Business Lodge.

R. SPEECH.
To the Editor Indianapolis Freeman.
As is often the case, I find that my recent address behest led me to the Napoli口袋 Nashville I omitted most important part. May I take advantage of your generosity to state that which I meant to have said in Nashville?
Our race suffers immensely because of the constant repression and mistrust, pretense and postseason bias in our cases, when any member of our race is mentioned in any of the crimes committed against individual, or because of crime committed directly or indirectly by that individual.
crucial, should seek to overcome this hurtful influence by having in every community an organized and social and literary organizations that shall have for its object putting into the daily press accounts of the programs, activities, religious and so-called directions. Some individual should be appointed in every community whose duty it is to give advice by week in concrete, readable form the news concerning our race that indicates our progress in constructive directions; the news concerning our criminal absence of the constant repetition of news relating alone to Negro crime. I am convinced that the daily press in the majority of cases of criminal absence of something better. We cannot rely upon the reporters of the daily press to get this news; we must prepare it and give it directly to them.
In all my experience in connection with the public press I have never seen a case where a reporter was so well and widely reported as was true of the National Baptist Convention recently held in Nashville had a collection of papers in Nashville had a colored reporter present at all the sessions of the convention, and the colored reporter present at all the newspapers that they wanted, in some cases four and five columns were printed for them. His regard due to credit should be given to the colored men who are making a business of reporting the process of coloration, and the credit should be given to the persistent and worthy band of young colored men who, where they have been designated as regular and paid reporters on the daily press. We should have such a reporter on the public press to help immensely to change public opinion.

She is also ordered to take the danger, but they could not see it as he saw it. They would linger in his presence. His clearer view of the acting ability was at once noted and appreciated. He seemed rather cruel in his actions, he was very fine, and he got complains.
Jose's Hiding Place Discovered.
Dumps, "Noisy" Speedy Smith, of the U. S. A., in stumbling about, ran on Jose's hiding place, clayton follows down the bandit. Speedy was none too brave, and in the challenges of bravery between the two Speedy was great, and the bandit slipped away. The comedy of Smith is great here, and the straight work of Brooks helped in making the funny situations. The house was in an upright position.
The Barrel Scene.
Bumps, finding himself alone, to his surprise and horror, is about to make his exit when Theresa enters with a sword. A dungeon door opens the sword. The barrel is a part of the rendezvous fixtures. In order to escape the lady of the sword, Bumps takes to the dungeon and throws the sword vows she will stay there and not go back to Juarez. She strikes the sword to the floor as a matter of empathy. Then she takes a seat near the barricade, and then she stands at his best. The barrel scene is pretty. The daimy Theresa showed her clever-

ness. She is of beautiful sneech and graceful, gracious manners. As a clean, clear-cut, legitimate performer, she has no superior in her race. She is a sweet and squirrel she appears, smoking a cigarette, and a fierce Revival. She is Burroughs is a pretty woman. Think of the配合: wit, grace, beauty. 'Can you beat it?' the opportunity in some great combination, doing comedy or tragedy, as she elects, and with equal ability, as she lady, and in some as the lady. Theresa, agrees to let the American go. 'Me no harm the American.' The end, and owing to the brief friendship, the lady slips him his pistol. The scene is exciting. Rumps manages to turn over his barrel, falls out, and holds back lose at the point of his pistol. The bandit gets away in front of a shot or
The Capture.
It turns out that Claxton and Bumps are both captured by Jose. They are bound together. There again is the act of capturing. Jose is bound by and by Noisy Speedy Smith, and by Marion Brooks. The two scenes, that of the barrel and the capture, will scarely be seen by anyone. The author of the play, Marion Brooks, who has done many successful things in this line, He has furnished a number of stories, and has shown the fun at this point is irresistible.
The Rescue.
Jose leaves his men for a bit. The ladies enter. The heresita asks of Lola and her husband, the Hammers, as Lola, here does a bit of fine acting. She replies in a careless way, saying, "I'll be fine, sweetly, nendishy. She acted it out in her gestures, proving a good companion piece to Jose. She also enjoyed a cigar and a drink, but the heart of Theresa had been touched. Bumps had saved her when Jose enters on the scene while making sure to free him during his barrel plight. The "American" must be saved, rescuing her obligation—a life for a life. She whispers to Bumps that all will be well. She will give him a life, the price of disclosure, muffle most effectively the probable outcry at the attempted escape, the Hammers calling to Lola; tells her she has something nice.

The Finale.
The very bad man, Jose, entered just at the time. But the bandy revolver was there.
Jessup Cut, Alabama, is not entirely lost to Bumps, the place to where he lives. The team's victory is exciting. Claxton grubbs Theresaela's sword. Jose has his own. It is now a duel for liberty. Claxton will not perish for his life. The swords clash. In the first round Claxton is worsted, the second round Claxton is worsted, the second round Jose is worsted. Claxton gives him a chance, very much to the displeasure of Bumps, who declares that the needles only his own strong right arm. The giant is run through. His huge arm is caught in the eagle pitching down from its eminence, he falls. This was good work, all of it. Jose's fall is so realistic that the cold column. The curtain rings down.

he Henderson, Joe and Lena—A
Classy Pair of Performers.
The Hendersonons are new to the West—a swell pair, who put over a variety of different features. Their work is when different bits of music come together to make a bit from the word go, singing "I'll Be Your Man," and playing pretty steps and movements. "Seaiskin Brown," by Joe Henderson, is a hummer. He leaves yelling for more. He comes back and gives them more, and he brings them back and runs talk between them is full of laughter. Miss Henderson, who looks Irish all right, and when she sings, rather than interpreting an interpretation of Irish character singing, She was well received. She was an eccentric cakewalker, as pretty a dance as has been seen on the Crown stage. The pair was in good form, looking like a young man, and one reminds one very much of George Walker. His movements and poses are very similar. The team made a decided
"RECTOR GIRLS" COMPANY AT THE MAJESTIC THEATER, INDIANAPOLIS.
When a burlesque company comes out in the open and puts on dress parade an audience will be invited by Morris Wainstock's "Rector Girls" Company, which comes to the theater. The company can be no possible chance of theater-goers who attend the performance of the names which follow: Leo Stevens, Joe West, Helen Jessie Moore, Stella Jackson, the Progressive Trio, and Lydia Jospy, supported by a large company of footlight favorites. Imagine these tall women in a musical mangle of fun and frolic, with a chorus of twenty beautiful and bewitching women can conceive of anything that sails under the burlesque banner that "Rector Girls."
"TAXI GIRLS" AT COLUMBIA THEATER. INDIANAPOLIS.
There is more than ordinary merit to Joe Hurtig's new "Taxi Girls" theatrists will entertain the patrons of the Columbia theater during the new week. Wilbur Dobbs, a favorite of burlesque audiences, and the strongest of entertainers, led the new show leading the noteworthy cast, which also presents as a co-star Princess Luba Meerven, and through the civic engagement of the "Princess Benefit" Her engagement is perhaps one of the most sensational moves ever made by the mansage company. Wilbur Dobbs will be the chief comedian and practically the 'big noise' in the exploitation of the comedy in the two happy roles, the part of part the foreground, the princess will be the foreground during the vaudeville offering, which is sandwiched in between the Ward and Bohman, in a brand new and highly amusing skit, Lynn Canter, the snappy comedienne Edna Green, the harrower Chas, the saucette Harris and Lockwood will be among the other principal mith provokers. A most charming feature will be the comedian, whose possession of good voice material and pleasing looks, the costuming as well as the scenic equipment is of the highest order and the Hurtig reputation for excellence.

A Riot at Booker T. Washington The
ater—Police Needed to Quell Mob.
On Monday evening, October 13, 1913, the third appearance of Ora Criswell and her husband, the engling Theater, St. Louis, Mo., was the direct cause of such crowds gathering at the plaza house, eager to gain admittance. The crowd completely blocked in the immediate vicinity of the streets, thereby causing the need of ten specially detailed police to keep the pleasure crowds out. In 1914, while Criswell and Bailey improve with age," "Better or equally as good as Williams and Walker Criswell and Bailey," its seldom, if ever, they all go together—music that is so charming that singing it is musical pleasing and

Jesse Reeves, with his gold trombone, leaves a lasting, impression by his composition Frank Hopkins is in a class by himself on the baritone, and not far behind as a violinist. This name, when announced, guarantees the patrons that some wonderful stunts are going to be enacted, for when La Voila ends his act, swinging and playing the violin of the daintine trumpet neck trick, it is conceded by all that there is none better as a wire walker. He is simply wonderful. He is the son of Prof. Ephil Williams, entered Lincoln University last week. He was tutored all summer by the languages and classes by W. A. Mackey. Miss Mittle Bradford, our outbrette, is pleasing them mightily. He is the business manager, is still on the job, always inviting them to wake up in the morning with a "new idea." Frank Smelody, the little man with the big bass voice, is very much in evidence. Happy Lewis, that eccentric comedian, always has something funny to say. His chorus backs up in the grand show. Capt.

The Brooks-Smith Players are in their second week here, having had the S. R. O. sign out every night during their engagements, moving to capacity both and appreciative audiences each night.
Miss Theresa Burroughs, dainty soubrette that would be a credit to any company with her new songs and elaborate costumes.
Miss Alberta Williams, an actress of ability, is scoring night in her portrayal of the character.
Mr. peedy mith, a comedian of the first water, is easily a favorite. He never gets bored with singing, dancing and tummy sayings. He leaves the audience screaming. Mr. Marion Brooks is seen to good advantage in the straight role of his tabloid friend, the comedian, and is naturally adapted. That his productions meet the approval of the people is evidenced by the many new faces of the colored aristocracy that greet his company. Brooks-mith Players on a return engagement at any time. The single act, Mr. Spencer Fainley, is good. He is a clever monologist, having a title of original talk and jokes. He always pleases the house with his new song parodies, having a good voice and knowledge. Manager Brown is well pleased with his venture of placing this theater in the Dudley-Owsey-Klein circuit. Next week's bill consists of four plays: Lillard, Kemnett and Company and Lzzie Holden. A big bill was deemed wise by the manager to follow the Brooks-Smith Players and T.

THINGS BENEFICIAL TO PER-

We settle down to real vaudeville work this season in Louisville, for Wim gans, what he calls the "big man," who thinks he is the one we need more Hogans in Kentucky. We came across one Senator Bell, who met us with his Monday night he paid me half a week's salary. After the show Tuesday night, there he was with more, more. We met the White House advocating the Negro vaudeville. Then we rolled into Ounceman Pekin for a show in New York, Dempsey, who is rightly called the prince of good follows. As soon as I hit the theater, "Bang!" another roll of money, the manager, is what you would call a little old young man, as lively as a three-year-old. On Tuesday he wants to know how much

Dad has something he calls Oden Theater. We all gave him a drink and they gave him a 0oo!! Mary Bradford, formerly of Bradford and Bradford, and Harry Martin, formerly of Fisher and the wedding dinner. I furnished a great big can. These managers I have spoken of here, and there are others I have not spoken of. There are some actors, that I call Ham-fat Punks, who go over the country putting a stop to the music.

COLORED MUSICIANS IN WHITE
THEATERS IN TEXAS.
To the Editor of The Freeman
Sir—last week I had cause to be in El Paso, Tex, and while passing along one of the principal streets in the heart of the city, I saw a crowd going to the theater. On drawing near I was struck by the good music. I stopped in the theater. Then imagine my surprise at the orchestra composed of three Negroes. So, bringing the incident to your attention, and I hope that you will find it worthy of you, do you not know that Texas is one of the leading States for the color line? And as these three men are the drawing card of the orchestra and the theater you think it worthy of notice? I had the pleasure of meeting these three gentlemen later. They are Messrs. E. Wright, the director; W. Deleton, violin and trap drummer; and S. Stevens, trap drummer. Mr. Wright has composed several songs that are most successful are "Theips Dodge," "Sammy," and "Pictures Ras." The theater where they play is named the Eureka, in the heart of the city. It would do you well to see a piece (of course, it is a white theater—most to enjoy the music.
