W. Thompson.) (Bureau of The Freeman, 1337 Wallace Place, N. W. Washington, D. C., December 3. The memorial in honor of the late Dr. John R. Francis in the auspices of the District of Columbia, drew out a large audience last Monday evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, and the District of Columbia, successfully succeeded Dr. Francis as president of the Social Settlement Association, presided and delivered a speech setting the tone for settlement movement among the colored people and extolling the labors of the late Dr. Francis in the promotion of the address of the evening was delivered by the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State. Mr. Bryan's keynote was, the true message of the potent manner in which the memory of Dr. Bryan could be honored would be to continue the great service of the nation, to speak for all humanity, to unselfishly inaugurated. Mr. Bryan's speech was one of the most effective he has delivered in the past, and the spoken for all humanity, dealt with the loftiest principles of the Bible and philosophy and applying them broadly. There was not a single word in the address of forty-five minutes to indicate that Dr. Francis was a member of any particular race. He was simply a The memorial address was presented by Prof. George William Cook of Howard University and a colleague of his life of Dr. Francis as he was known by a lifelong friend. The details of the social settlement work were given by the professor of the Settlement Home on street Southwest, and other talks dealing with the needs of the race's poor classes in the city were given by the professor of the Settlement Home and Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the Bureau of Education. Major Moton, paying a tribute to the late Dr. Francis, said that the Negro wanted in his struggle for the higher life. He wanted only an equal chance with all other people and that the Negro would be the race's own fault. "Give the black man a fair chance—no special favors, no handcaps," said the major. The professor of the account of his color, Superintendent W. M. Davidson delivered a telling address. Excellent music was provided by Miss Dr. C. Sumner Wormley and the Metropolitan A. M. El church choir, under the direction of Prof. John Wormley and is providing a good sum was raised by subscription for the promotion of the work of the Social Settlement. Mr. Bruce is the professor of Prof. John Wormley and is providing a worthy successor to the late Dr. Francis. Many teachers of the public schools were present at the memorial meeting and are adding to Mr. Bruce in making the cause and agency for the uplift of the whole people. "Business League Night" at Bethel Literary A large and distinguished audience turne dout last Tuesday night at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church to witness the branch of the National Negro Business League, with a view of awakening the commercial spirit of the 100,000 colored citizens of the city, the frequent and hearty applause which greeted the many good points made by the speakers, the effort of the local organization promises, and the welcoming nature of the M. M. E. church, indicating earnestly that the race might bekennent to the call of the league to a larger life in the arena of business and industrial enterprise, was one of the richest offerings of the organization, the energetic president of the Washington League, struck a keynote in a brief address on the objects of the organization by asking these pertinent "Do you believe in building up business enterprises among colored people here and abroad?" "Do you believe the Negro should strive to win a place in the commercial world?" "Do you wish to open a 'door of hope' to your son or daughter that their education and job talents may find a profitable market?" "If so, join the Business League and help us push the good work along." The main address of the evening was delivered by Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of University College, Oxford. He took for his theme, What Commercial Development Means to the Negro Race," and for nearly an hour this chapter focused on philosophy and out argument, convinced everybody that the future of the race rests more directly upon its success in the industrial and commercial field than upon any other—that education, art, literature, science, social and political eminence, all ability of the man on woman to hold of the medium which make these things powerful in the solution of human problem. "The Negro's opportunity today," said Prof. Miller, "lies in the simple matter of having a woman be a matriarch. We have a clientele in this city over 100,000 sons, distinctively your own. These people are hungry three times every day and must be married three times ever. They must be clothed and must be healed. They are sick often, and must be healed. They are solaced. They seek amusement after labor, and must be entertained. They must have shelter and some furniture in their house, and must be housed. These needs and necessities supply a field for the restaurant, the clothier, the docor, the artist, the concert manager, the real estate agent, rental agent and furniture man. Then it is also true that the Negro gets into trouble and must be defended, or he buys property and must be advised as to procedure; this makes business for the lawyer government. The lawyer will not make places for you. You must make places for yourselves by administering to your own wants, and prepares to compete on equal terms with merchants of ever yother race, who have been getting rich from the patronage we are bringing permanent in return, receiving nothing permanent. An installation of officers of the local league will take place December 8, and the league will be responsible for the city will be arranged for. Indications point to an awakening of the Negroes of the city and the importance together and make opportunities for one another by building up business enterprises that will supply every need that a city and progressive people can suggest. The Repudiation of Calvin Chase. The so-called "Chase Testimonial" at the Howard Theater, purporting to be in "honor" of Manager Andrew J. Thomas, was a miserable "frost," as we predicted in the "Chase Testimonial" in bad faith by the last man on earth to have been in charge of it, and that it turned out to be a flase was entirely in keeping with the logic of events. All the more, the "Chase Testimonial" is the poorest week Howard Theater has seen during the past year, and the cause of it all was the notorious unpopularity of "chase" and "frost." The "Chase Testimonial" is the poorest week Howard Theater has seen during the past year, and the cause of it all was the notorious unpopularity of "frost." "Editor of a local journalistic scavenger called the Bee. The reproduction of Chase and all of his works by the Washington public was absolute and complete. The "Chase Testimonial" was not much flourish in the columns of the Bee, was conspicuous by the failure of 95 per cent. of the "participants" to appear, much less than 90 per cent. The "frost" of their knowledge or consent. They had the nerve to refuse to be bulldozed or dragooned into somethin¬ that was hazy from the start and which did not clear up until the end of the day. The "frost" of the Bee was not orderly on the part of the alleged "editor" the thbga was a monumental failure, and the rebuke to his brazen pumptiousness to the public was not well-timed. Nothing could have happened to more emphatically impress the worthlessness of the Bee as an advertising medium. If Manager Thomas had not been able to do so, he would not be a line of advertising in the Bee, why is it that the week the Bee featured the house to the tune of several columns of a biography of the Bee? He was not of his own, etc., the theater failed to draw more than a corporal's guard? It indicated beyond peradventure that there was "something rotten in Denmark," as our good friend Hamlet remarked once The failure of the "frame-up" is no reflection upon the popularity of Manager Thomas. He has the good will of all the people, and they sympathize with him thoroughly in the embarrassment forced upon him by a self-constituted "leader," who made Mr. Thomas believe that "whatever it took to make him great, he had it." The friends of Mr. Thomas regret exceedingly that that usually astute business man "fell for" what was so palpably a bid for personal aggrandizement at another's expense. The same is true of Mr. Rufus G. Byars, the able house manager, who has had a previous taste of the Bee's method of dealing with men of real influence and power with the people. And the "loving cup"—just wait until next week and we shall tell you the inside facts relating to how the cup was secured and what became of it after the "presentation." Manager Thomas is holding up his right hand to high Heaven and murmuring, "Never again." Mrs. Lottie Wilson Moss Critically Ill. Word comes that Mrs. Lottie Wilson Moss, for years a resident of this city, where she was known as an artist of pro The Great Need of the Race—More Doers, Fewer Talkers.

The 100 members of the Mu-So-Li Club, representing the professional community, are capital, are taking the impotent ravings of blackmailers with the equipose characteristic of intellectual gentlemen. "Whom the gods would destroy they first mad." Mr. A. B. Manning of Indianapolis wants to work with York College on business connected with the Democratic committee. In company with the writer Mr. Manning paid his respects Saturday morning at the Register of the Treasury, and they made a mutually agreeable impression upon one another. Mr. Parker is one of the broadest and most critical fate has brought to the capital in many years, and it is pleasing that in Mr. Napier's successor the men who must have been the most critical and courageous friend. Mr. Parker said to Mr. Manning: "Every race under the sun has its peculiar problems. Each man has his own unique frankly and calmly and addressing themselves to an intelligent and practical method of getting the best they can from the people. He offers hoping and striving for a brighter day b yand by. Many an exasperating problem solves me and women who are steadily and simply bye their time."

Creating A New Slavery Two articles appeared in the columns of the Daily Tribune last week under the head of the Voice of the People of Washington by T. Washington by lynching, and the other by H. George W. Ellis on "Creating New Shaver," the idea that the right is to be carried in a hearing in the daily press is being carried out in this neck of the woods. Whenever the race is contested, the press there is always some thoughtful, brilliant and intelligent writer to come to the Negro rescue, and the press there is always a discussion of the Negro between Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, and the Washington Post. You remember the Parks Department, which discussed of the statements of Prof. Miller, then began a few rounds of brief and biter conversations for four rounds, at the end of which the Post threw up the sponge and acknowledged its defeat at the hands of America's most penetrating controversial In the recent editorial of the Tribune which editorially denounced discrimination by the following letter written by Hon. George W. Ellis. We quote: (Editor of the Tribune.) "I have thought of the great services which The Chicago Daily Tribune renders to the Chicago community in its fearless exposure of so many evils which constantly add to the already too large numbers of the helpers who are becoming more and more the paper of the people, and is making a distinctive contribution to national leadership today." The people of this and other nations are indebted to you for your example in your investigations into so many different lines of industrial and social conditions for civic uplift and the general public good while the citizens of Chicago and Illinois are under a special gratitude for constructive action in exposing situations like the "loan shark," the graft and send of the political party, the efforts and elements of political government, the political menace of bossism, in politics the dethroning of representative government by the alliance of crooked business and crooked politics, and the injuries and fraud of the "quack doctor." Because you have rendered all these splendid services in the interest of the common good I wish to improve this occasion to congratulate you upon your able and potent editorial condemning the federal government for its undemocratic and un-American policy of segregating faithful and efficient colored employees at Washington for no other reason than that of race and color. Only a few are able to see now the awful and terrible dangers and perils of increasing American race prejudice, which is fastening upon the great social body of the American race of the race of an age of slavery, which threatens to be asbig as a fire of fire. City Federation Meets. Mrs. Johnson, president of the City Federation presided at the event.

Defender to Help the Poor Children The Chicago Defender will begin a series of articles this week to create a sentiment towards helping the poor children during the Christmas season. Children in this large city who do not know of what a new pair of shoes or stockings are on Christmas or even a box of candy and to this end will the Defender be on the firing line from now on. Its Folly to Be Wise Where Ignorance Is Bliss Information has come to the Freeman correspondent that a number of young colored men have successfully passed the bar to the post office, making high averages, but not given employment. Major R. R. Jackson, our state representative, has been given the post office, making high averages, but not given employment. Major R. R. Jackson, our state representative, has been given the post office, urging the appointment of several young men who have made high averages. High powers have been given to the post office. No cooled man has been appointed recently at the post office. This is due, it is hoped, to high averages. That figuring upon a percentage basis, only 4 per cent. representation is entitled to the race, while there is no such requirement. The kind of reasoning will continue to hold good remains to be seen. It is further claimed by those in authority that coloured men have flocked to Chicago to take examination and have been appointed, while the city representation has been small-unit. The men have not been in the city or state over a year and in order to reduce this state of affairs, the bar must at least be shut down, "when and who will raise the bar? Visits Her Mother.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, DEC. 6, 1913 MEMBER NATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION President Wilson's message is the type of the man; not very much on frills or useless expressions. The strike of the teamsters at this time greatly inconveniences business. Guess there is a method in it. Some are mean enough to say that Mayor Shank performed his one best act when he resigned. Mr. Shank has some fine qualities, but evidently they are not along mayoralty lines. Mr. Marshall's constitution has been killed by the Supreme Court of the United States. Well, we never did care very much about that constitution. It looked as if it might have been loaded. One Negro has lost his life in the 'teamsters' strike and several have been hurt. That's a pretty good contribution for a people that have such a small share in unions or the other big good things. The greater and better Christmas issue of The Freeman, December 20, Bear in mind that The Freeman is the most extensively circulated publication by the race. Very few publications of any kind cover a broader field. This means the business man's opportunity; it means the professional man's opportunity. Let us hear from you at once. In the language of the stage, President Wilson put over his message in good form. His phraseology is charming, regardless of what he has to say. Such expressions as "the elangor of the factory" and "the quiet interspaces of the open valley and free hillsides" are full of life and grace, giving delightful buoyancy to that part of the message in which they occur. The President also shows his splendid good judgment throughout. Perhaps it may be thought that he entered rather intimately into the affairs of Mexico. If so, it was because he was forced to do so in order to justify the stand he has taken. Of course, some form of segregation is everywhere. Our point is that the government should not know anything about it unless compelled. A government of the people should rejoice at the opportunity to live up to that reputation—of the people. When it noses, ataling on prejudice as individuals do, then in the minds of just men there arises a spirit of contempt for such a government. The Negroes have not reached such a stage, yet they can not be as enthusiastic patriots as others who see in the government no symptoms of oppression. Segregation at Washington, where the best of the race is employed, is inexcusable. Booker T. Washington said recently: "At the end of six months of the present year there had been twenty-four cases of lynching. At the end of ten months (November 1) there had been forty-five lynchings, a reduction of four as compared with the same period for 1912. Within the past four months, July, August, September and October, since I last called attention to the subject, there have been twenty-one lynchings, making a total, as I have said, of forty-five lynchings for ten months. Of this number, only seven individuals were charged with rape. It is worth while, I think, to note a few typical cases for which human life was taken by a mob." Forty-five lynch is an improvement, yet it is an appalling number of mob victims for a country full of court houses and police officers. Of course, as Dr. Washington is, but not until wrongdoer is given his punishment by those whose business it is to give such punishment should we fail to hold up to shame and ridicule American lawlessness. The New York Age had occasion to say, not long since, that, when there is an honest demand for a daily newspaper for colored people, the demand will produce an honest supply. It is nicely stated, but not necessarily the correct view. What is an honest demand? There is no downright necessity for a Negro daily; perhaps there never will be. This does not mean that such a publication would not thrive in a thrifty, populous Negro community. If such a community were wholly colored, as Mound Bayou, and business interests were the same as a corresponding white community, there would be the same demand for a daily paper. But we do not think that is what is meant. Mixed communities are meant, such as the greater cities where Negroes are living. There can be no downright demand in such communities. We are at some disadvantage when it comes to the distribution of news concerning ourselves, but what we lose is not a great deal. The white publications look after our greater worthy happenings, and the Lord knows they don't forget to set out the bad among us that comes to light. MR. MARSHALL'S CONSTITUTION. From all accounts Vice-President Marshall acceptable As Governor of the Indiana he was none the less acceptable. In fact, he made inroads on the affections of men of all classes and parties. When his name was spoken most of us were learning to forget the party to which he belongs; it excited no rancor or hate like the names of some men who are known in life. More than likely his kindly, considerate qualities, together with his sociological advantage of the political position, the logical candidate for Vice-President. We have in mind his sentiments as expressed in his constitution. As Governor of the state Mr. Marshall was pursued the even tenor of his way, when all at once he became obsessed with the notion that he must give his commonwealth a new set of fundamental laws. It is a question just which one of his ambitions he wished to serve; whether to be a modern Solon and reap the blessings of the generations to come, or to give a constitution where he added some political views, specially along the line of suffrage, or to replace the worn and effete instrument with one that was up to date, answering the last demand of a progressive society. Which did he have in mind? Whatever his views were, or ambition, his method of having them carried out were rather startling. It was in 1911 when the Governor Marshall thought to spring his new instrument on the legislature, merely for "ratification." The thoughtful citizens, regardless of political parties, to tounder to learn that he was to accept and allow himself already in shape, to violate without the usual "solemn" conclave of citizens usually incident to such important legislation. Mr. Marshall and some of his Democratic friends insisted that they were right in their methods. Precedent after precedent were cited to prove the contention. Eminent testimony in opposition was also cited by the brainstel lawyers of the state. The feeling was strong that a constitution for a state needed all the possible safeguards. The convention idea, besides being considered the lawful method, was held to be the logical thing since the unorganized stood for the people in an unorganized laws and authority emanating from the people, the convention, meaning legislatures and everything that follows. It was not considered that the legislature could precede by any logical way; it could not get in front of the force or thing that created it. The legislature was considered the child; not the parent. We could possibly have had a suddenly made constitution if we had cared to accept it waiving precedent or construing the law on the point as Mr. Marshall. But the citizens of it all, and were unwilling the profundness of it all, and were unwilling the business except by the most approved method. A constitution without a convention was fairly unthinkable. A Democratic judge knocked the proposed constitution out when the question was submitted to him for his decision. Mr. Marshall and his adherents made an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, and which took the safe stand that no federal question was involved. The following Washington dispatch will give further illustration of the final disposition of the case: "An appeal by former Governor Marshall and his associates to the Supreme Court of the state brought forth some of the best of the legal talent in the state to argue the subject." "Lack of jurisdiction was given by the United States court as the reason for its dismissal of the case, Justice Day reading the decision. Attorney-General Honan, Dan Simms, of Lafayette, and Frank S. Roby, of Indianapolis, represented Vice-President Marshall in the case before the United States Supreme Court. Recently the case was brought 'up to date' by the substitution of the name of Governor Ralston and the new election commissioners of the state for the name of the former Governor's and those of the former election commissioners. "The decision of the United States court puts an end to the case. The court held no federal question had been raised. This in effect affirmed the decision of the Indiana state courts."

Summer Wins From Indiana 7 to 6- Thirteens Have Gay Entertainment at the Booker Washington Theater News in General (By Walter S. Fearance.) One of the most sensational games ever played in St. Louis was pulled off Thanksgiving Day at Pasttime Park before a throng of 3,000 loyal Summer and Indigo's 1,000 and 1,000 of the 1,000-year-old flowing and the side lines were hedged in by a stream of antos and buggies that that created to microchain upon the playground, promptly in the form of the free-play, new-style, and the strenuous battle. As the ball was kicked and the long-time going save a cheer of the East was the Big Boat, a up-to-date and "big Boat My Mamma Don't Know Where I'm at" — Summer received the kick. Peter-White's first jams of the day, "I'm well for Summer," and the St. Louis's well for and the two Summer boys played well for Indiana. Green and Anthony were the in-law of the first time, and the first time of the first time of Indiana was a whole team in himself. Both teams had good lines that neither could penetrate. In the second quarter, the team had been the most prettiest open field play over displayed by a colored team, Indiana advanced the ball to the five-yard line, while St. Louis were over the second order. Failed to kick the ball, the team's score. Indiana's, Sunner 0. When back, the second half opened Summer came back with a call to the team's place of the multitude to help spur them on, they scored a touchdown by some of the best playing that a Summer team has. The team's team's score was never a very trickle-in in the bag of tricks, while that wonderful back field responded. Field Captain Jones scored the touchdown for the team's home of the first time in field field on the shoulder of his admiring friends for having tied the score. Green kicked goal. Summer 7, Indian 8, Green was not a respite place, both both each year was unable to score. The teams played until darkness began to gather and the score was so strong that the team's score was able to discern what was going on. At last out of the inky blackness the shrill notes of the referee's whistle pierced the head of the team's head and the strenuous came that Summer has ever played was won and was over. As each loyal rooter wended his way home or the first time to the home of the team's home, he was breathed, as all knew that one of the hardest games ever played here was over and won, but that dead old Summer High High all and won it to 6. The Thirteens Entertain The famous Silvers Grill, the meeting place for persons of color, was a blaze of glory, light and color on Thanksgiving night, when that famous organization known as The Thirteens held forth their annual dinner, the show was held on the 1st of May 1987. It had been reserved for them and was draped in brown and white, intermingled with club, college and high school penants that formed a beautiful setting to show off the handsome costumes of the young women. The first marriage followed up, along with the first party of the property at 8:45 p.m. and by 9:15 all club members and guests were present. From 9:30 until 10:30 the tango, hesitation waltz and the table of the two members were reduced to all persons of color in this famous grill room. After dancing a six-course menu was served to the assembled guests and friends under the supervision of Mr. Rice, the well-known catcher. After the tables were cleared speeches and toasts were drunk in many glasses of bubbling, sparkling champagne. Mr. W. Frank Adams gave an original toast: The Thirteen's of his own sombreness that the support with an applause by the assembled guests. As soon as speechmaking was over the tables were removed and dancing was indulged in until the week's small hours of morn. As the last line rise, the coldest of the day was vowed that this moong in the classiest affair pulled off in many moong in this neck of the woods. Although P. G.

Billy Percell, comedian, sang and danced to the delight of all, using a bunch of old talk and songs of long ago that just fit the audience. He was great and went big. Mims and Bryant, the long and short of it, a very nice act. Bod Mims is there with the dance, and Miss Bryant is petite and a good worker. A good act. Selman and Jackson close the show with a good act. Yandes is some singer, and Miss Jackson is there, also, with the voice, as well as the shape. A good team. Business is good. Must say that we are turning them away. Mr. Schneider has a little ill, but is out again. Sam is the proud father of a little daughter. PROF. T. L. P. H. DAVIS, BARITONE At Crawfordsville, Ind., Greeted With Enthusiastic Applause. The well-known baritone singer, Prof. T. L. P. H. Davis, who has a reputation throughout Ireland, is known for his performance before a Crawfordsville audience. Thursday evening of last week, where he had his usual success. Mr. Davis was accorded distinguished recognition when he arrived in the city until he left. He was met at the station with an automobile, from where he was carried over the city to see the musical festival. The entertainment was under the aus- Webb's Famous Picture of Jesus! Is Finished in Colors—Was Jesus a Negro with Woolly Hair? Webb's books and pictures prove it and show it by the Bible. A 12x18 picture of Jesus with woolly hair and His holy angels at his second coming, and a book with Biblical references extending from Genesis to Revelations, prove his fact. The following comments are upon the same: "To try to say, after hearing Elder Webb on the subject, that the blood of his mother was of Isaac, the wife of Isaac, I am frank to say that I have solemn, if ever, enjoyed such an intellectual treat. The position be assumed as the subject of his lecture touching the Hamilic blood and race of Himalia and Nepal, and the intellectual knowledge. But, I am pleased to say, that he not only shows himself an expert, but the master of the situation, and I comment him to the ministry and churches of our race of every denomination. "(Signed) BISHOP H M. TURNER." The evidence submitted by Elder Webb tending to prove that the Savior of mankind was a black man, seems to be sufficient to put them to rest. We propose the proposition upon the fact that the blood of Jesus was of Isaac, the wife of Isaac, who is the same of the devils in the Bible records have not advanced the sensational proposition before. Not only is a Christ a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been he'd up through all of the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also."—Saturn Tune.

In their return engagement* Criswell and Bailey have established themselves as prime favorites in Indianapolis. Really this pair will pass anywhere, will have success with any audience, will have success with all performers. These performers have kept in mind the essentials of entertaining when getting their playlists together. They give a thread of humor to the audience, enough to permit them to exercise what-terai talents they have. This is what makes their work at once interesting and entertaining. "Circus Day" idea gives great scope for their styles of work, and they have rescued no chance to get it right. It is full of circus fun, with her toy balloons, which she blows like all of the youthful circus enthusiasts have done before. She has rescued the circus business. Miss Criswell belongs to a very worthy class of artists. She forgets herself completely, becoming Too much cannot be said of Miss Bailey. One would think she was at her very best in doing the straight work in "Cirlie" of The animal jokes were real with: they were worthy of any performers of that class of work. "College Bag" was sang in a fine mood by Miss Bailey. The "Criswell Blues" by Miss Criswell, her own composition, was applauded time and again. They were a weird something on the pitch, but with a vocal touch at the conclusion of instrumental stanzas. Perhaps she alone a themed Miss Bailey joins in the humming which is a feature. The audience asked for more. They close with the well-known "Circus Day" song, but rearranged to suit. COLORED MEN Wanted to prepare as Sleeping Car and Train Porters No experience necessary.

EDWARDS AND EDWARDS Junk and Hattie, the Ebony Hued The Edwards' come fresh from their success with P. G. Lowery, of the well-known home where serve to introduce them, if nothing more. But the Edwards' are known in Indianapolis, Junk, the male member, being among the very best in the Miss Edwards, with a sweet, fresh voice which she knows how to use, songs "Don't Break the Heart." The running task is keen, clever, Junks showing up great in his fun making ability. He is an amazing performer who can turn one or off the fun at will. He greatly reminds one of that fine order of minstrel men on the stage. Miss Edwards is a good assistant as a straight. Junk sings "T Get Mine in Broadway灯亮" "No Chances at the stage." She is a bikini. The team closes with Glenn Leap's new success. "T Am Going Home to Mobile on That Morgan Line," which is put over in good style. All through, the wardrobe is good; that of Miss Edwards pretty and attractive figure, the effect on an at- SAM EVANS Sam Evans is somewhat of a new aspirant for ventriloquist. He is a member of the Garden patrons. For fourteen weeks he has been playing about Indianapolis in the best white houses, and Two other ventriloquists have appeared at this house previous to Evans's engagement. Perhaps he has the same work Evans greatly resembles. He has that same doll humor on the part of the doll and the same keen enjoyment of the doll's association and conversation. This makes for a good contender at this house. Evans prides himself on the fact that his lips cannot be noticed in motion. This is true of him, and on the contrary, Evans's lips seem glued together, and at the same time his doll is talking distinctly. They do a well-known part from the fact that the doll seems to be doing the whole business. Evans is a young man. In time, if luck follows him, he will be one of the great Refined Entertainers. This team (female) is classy. They open up attired in pink—a pink dream. They sing "I Love You." Your Daddy, Cindy, and "Little Baby Doll." The dancer is a feature. GRAND THEATER.

Of the few real artists who attract by their winning ways or do come as musicians, Tom Kerr is one, and everybody else has done well. We were expert hand balances, Miller, Selb and Pucker created laughter, as did Josh Dreano in a milder degree in a "Talkative Woman. White" comedy pleaseased by the audience, and Hodges, known as the Indian cartoonists, who got a heavy hand. Others were Walter Percival an decompany, the Sherwoods aerialists; Charles Kenna and a troupe of Groupue of Australians, all of whom fared well. Braggs' Vaudeville Opens at the Pokin Unless the colored people do more advertising at the Pekin, business will not thrive. The constant changes of bore are the result of the house falls to fill. Mrs. Walker was well advertised, "Tallaboo" was only half advertised, but the house filled as the week ended, when people had to leave the house for another week. It is rumored that a new vaudeville show will be on next week, staged by the original Billy Johnson. The third show in the median was ruptured early in the week and had to permanently retire from the cast and go to the hospital. The States Theater Changes Manage- ment After a siege of ups and downs caused by a lack of experience, James Tank and the States Theater Company saluted the proprietor of the Lincoln theater, who took charge December 1.

Blondie Robinson in a new act kept his audience in a roar of laughter during his act. He says he's crazy, but the people he has met have made her first appearance this season. She was in excellent voice and was highly appreciated. Her team, from top to bottom, faced expression. In order to wax hand- some, an actress must always keep her mouth closed and her eyes open wide. Her "Sunbeam" boys are really great. She's been playing with Plenty have returned, and the comedy singing and dancing of these candy kids again held the people entranced.

Her plant would be to praise the biggest boy, whose likeness is the true primigenial o the late George Walker, and the smallest one, a rare comedian. U. S. Thompson has now demonstrated that he is a great song reader by expression and his monologue. He has newcomers, had an entertaining dialogue, and they made good. Coburn and Pearson, a white team, will be a good comedy team. Will Thompson is now one of the best on State street. At the Picture Houses. The Lincoln—"A Son's Devotion" captured.

Chadwick and Crippin went very nicely. Their work came out. They were the biggest clean up nicely. They were the big of the bill, and their act is great. Martin is some big noise. Will Burke, the musical man, was a ex-army man. He was a sister act, were great. Miss Lee was very clever in her blackface work, and Miss Hendricks as a straight did nicely. Lew Birth was a big star. He one of the clearest single acts before the public today. Martin and Winred again brought up the rear, going big. Lafayette Theater The news of the return of J. Labrie HILI's Follies caused quite a stir. The sidewalks and lobbies were packed to witness one o f the best colored women in years, in weeks, which leads me to believe Mr. HILI's show will be at the Lafayette two or three times. Crescent Theater This bill opened with George Ward, who sang a number of parodies and did a short dance with the audience. Bert Tidus, a young man who for some time has been singing in a number of theaters, was seen here young man who is very clever and has a sweet voice, one that caught the audience. Frank Kern and girls went very well. Nichols and Logan cleaned up. This act goes big everywhere. Miss Logan always looks the same as a maned boy with few equals. This act stayed all week. Rube Baron did a very good act. Melrose Sister did a very good act. Forest was applauded. Nichols and Logan again brought up the rear wit their soldier act, which was very funny. **Family Theater.** The Thornton Sisters opened here and the Thornton Sisters did fairly well. Ruth Allen came again and did well. Chase and Tobias did fairly well. Dixon and Hansen did fairly well. There was a good team any time you take them. This house has changed hands. **Fifty-ninth Street Theater.** This house continues to do a little business, and had a very good show all week. Franklin Theater. This theater had a little trouble Sunday night, and as the law doesn't allow people to stand, a large crowd be present the place was ordered to close. It will Pioneer Theater. Another place doing a nice business is this theater. The place has changed hands, but the crowds still come day and night. Cooke and Gilliam left Sunday night for Washington, D. C., opening at the Howard. They will immediately open on the Dudley circuit after the close of this engagement. Cooke and Stevens and their flock opened Monday at Philadelphia, Pa., at the Circle theater, for three or four weeks. PEKIN THEATER, DAYTON, OHIO. The Pekin theater of Dayton, Ohio, had one of the best weeks in its history in the week just passed, having a knockout bill with the Moores (who will return December) and Rart Kemmet and company. William B. Lawnert, who has managed the house from the very start, has made good in his promise to give the col- ored people of Dayton the very best attainable in high-class acts. That the people appreciate the issue is evidence of courteous over-increasing patronage from all parts of the city. Continuous improvement has been seen in the city, and the authorities become the Pekin has become the roomiest and safest theaters in the city. The Pekin theater is now, and has always been, owned entirely by Manager John Dayton in Dayton, a powerful political leader in Dayton. WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H.

He is getting talent that can do things to please the audience from the stage to the theater. The help all over the house is so different, with much more businesslike ways than before, so much more vivid and vividly memorable about it. The shows are nightly screams from start to finish. The Grand Central is being crowded nightly. The people are being educated in what constitutes the best entertainment, and the first well a the entire show. Manager Jack Harris has had the interior remodeled and the lobby decorated to the first ladies and gentlemen and children. The return of "Fat Jack" is a blessing to and all. The rumor is a rumor about that more playhouses are to be built for our people. It will mean much to the members of the race; not only in the sense of entertainment given to the members of the race. 10 SUBIE SUTTON Character in Grown Gar didnloads, Week of Nov. 24.

November 15, 2015, the occasion I immediately went to the dressing rooms of each of these ladies and asked them to dress in their own clothes and give me another week in each house. At first neither of the ladies would give me an answer and it certainly was a disappointment. I used one of the best attractions that I have ever played in any of my houses. These acts are called "the public today" and use one of the public today not afraid to work on any bill and are closing the bill at each house for the second week at each House. We hold-over. They are engaged to play a return engagement January 26. These acts are booked over the time and are held over entirely. Acts of this kind work purely on their merit. M KLEIN. NEW ORLEANS, LA.

If your look is every dime, Getting broke is not any crime. Tell the world you are feeling fine— Keep-a-going. When it looks like all is up, Keep-a-going. Grain sweetening from your cup— Keep-a-going. See the wird birds on their wing, Heat the voice that softly rings; When you sweeten singing, Keep-a-going. SATGE NOTES. Frank H.

Walter Ermer, one of the old performers, and a Philadelphia boy, went well. Stowall and Stovall were good. Mr. Butler's song is good, and Mr. Butler's song and dance were fine. He reminds me of the late Ernest Hogan. A movie man, the proprietor, is making everyone happy every Wednesday with a nice present.

HARRISBURG, ILL., THEATRICAL NEWS We had with us P. G. Lowy and his Dixie Fashion Plate Minstrels November 27, 1939. He had many packed books. P. G. Lowy has some to pack. I must say it is the best that has been here for years or in the history of the show business here. He has out very long, but as it was, there was not a drag in any part of it. Mr. Arthur Winey, the director, certainly his people together and they put on show. As the Big Four train was late, the company did not arrive at the show. It was impossible to get programs printed. I am not acquainted with all the members of the company. I only know the latest songs, the greatest hit being "That Dangerous Rag." Mr Arthur Wright is a good stage manager. The second part was good, opening with Mr. Arthur Prince in his juggling and hooping roll action, which was good. Next came Whitl'n'Wery's dance, "Come Come Come." The bill was closed by Eph and Dinia in a funny farce, "South Before the War." Rev. Robert Winey, stage manager, theatrical firm, theatrical firm, theatrical firm.

Eastern Contests for Coming Week Hold Little to Merit the Attention of Boxing Fans—Langford-Watkins Bout in Brooklyn is a Case in Point. By James J. Corbett, Former Heavy weight Champion of the World.) New York—Quite a few celebrities are to be exhibited in local rings the coming week. Freddie Mac, the chief executive; Jack Britton, candidate for the American title; Bob McAllister, the sensational young middleweight from San Francisco, the world’s best boxer; and the famous Boston Tat Baby, are among the stars who will show their skill to Gothamites. They can display can all boast considerable class, that can hardly be said for their opponents-to-be. Of the otf Jack Britton is tackling the Glover, the wolverine, he will be giving away several pounds to a man who can step pretty lively over the ten-round distance. His imagination to attempt to class Glover with Britton from a scientific standpoint. Bob McAllister is to make his Eastern veteran Mike Donovan, famous in the ring twenty-five years ago, and at present the boxing instructor at the Glover, son of the veteran Mike Donovan, famous in what McAllister has accomplished in his brief career on the Pacific coast, the match with Donovan appears to be a poet yawsed one, owing to his wit and a boxer of reputation and his record with second-raters does not suggest that he will prove a worthy opponent for the May Be a Farce. Freddie Welsh is booked to box ten rounds with Phil Bloom, a youngster who until recently was a ten-round draw with Knock Out Brown a few weeks ago, and followed it up with a fair showing against Tommy Murphy. He was so much good boys in this neighborhood looking for matches—for instance, Young Shugruce, Jimmy Duffy and Jack Britton—the promoters have not exacted a number of blows Bloom to try out the clever Englishman. On the face of it the match looks like a farce. But the worst looking affair of the season has been for Monday tat one of the Brooklyn clubs—between Sam Langford and one Bill Watkins. Watkins is a Negro and has won one round with Langford, if Sam was in a good humor. But as for a match for Langford, well, I don't like to knock, but such bouts do sport a great deal of skill for taking Lanford is not to be blamed for taking the match. It is not his fault that he is $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS.

If promoters exercised better judgment in the making of matches for boxing, they would be more profitable. This thing of matching stars with second and third-class boxers would be more profitable. The fans have been educated and have quite as good a line on the abilities and talents of the boxers as the promoters Gibbons After Coin. Mike Gibbons wants to box Packe McFarland at one of the New York clubs. Mike believes opportunity for adding to his already substantial bank account through a ten-room go with McFarland. He wants to pack the weights at 3 o'clock for Packe," said Gibbons the other day, "and not an ounce lower. Or I will make a match at 147 ringside, if Packe thinks there is a chance of the weights at 144 in the afternoon. At 147 I doubt if I would have very much on McFarland. I am not such a big fan of the weights at 144. I believe Gibbons argues that if he agreed to a lower scale he would not be doing justice to himself or the public. And I believe Packe would be strong enough to worry the elusive Chicagoan. Packe would be very little lighter and in better shape than for Packe years. It would be a novelty for McFarland to train for a contest and not find it necessary to sweat off considerable Willie Fixes Limit. Willie Ritchie has fixed 135 pounds ringside for lightweight championship stretch a point for some of the other fellows in the division—especially where it would help his own case, as in the Tommy Johnson trophy. The trophy has been set—there is small chance of Packey being the recipient of such Queensbury course. Packey is a champion, and he is little party for his years, and he fails to figure where he would be getting off to light eight away to the cleverest boxer of them. The welterweight division appears to be the only hope for Packey if he intends to bain him. Of course, the book, Mise is extremely doubtful if he will encounter much real opposition in that ring. Of course, the middleweight, light one. If McFarlane insists upon a welterweight limit there is no chance for Packey to win. He is the cleverest boxer in the ring today—Packey can afford to concede a few pounds without getting very much the worst of the breaks, even with a silly felt Always a Card. Packey has always been a card in New York. He will never draw big here in the future, however, unless matched by a player with a face with him. No more soft things like Murphy. The public knows what McFarland can do and will not stand for any more of those things. But if Packey wants some really big money he can get it by meeting Gibbons and hard at it—and will all appreciation for Gibbons' great skill—I will have to string along with him. I don't believe there is a boy in New York with 150 pounds capable of beating McFarland. Sam's Shape Enough. Gunboat Smith's victory on points over Sam Langford was not such a tremendous surprise to those who watched the Negro Jeanneette several weeks ago. A glimpse at Sam's shape that evening was enough to suggest that the erstwhile terror of Sam Langford was not the condition an etat it would take a long siege of the hardest kind of work to reduce him to anything like normal fighting force. And it is likely Sam has reached that stage in his career when it has become an irksome task to train. When the fat once takes hold of an athlete, it gets harder to move. He is moving on his stock of strength and stamina. WHAT JACK JOHNSON'S DOING. LATEST NOTE ON THE CHAMP In Big, According to Reports—Having the Time of His Life. **By Billy Lewis.** Getting hungry for some news of Jack Johnson? Well I guess yes. He was a kindly and trouble while at home in America, but for all that we have a kindly feeling for him, I think I am safe in saying that most of us of his race have had a kindly and trouble in trait of the human kind—the poor and needy are so often in sympathy with those that can "buy and sell" them. See that man and the other star in my novel the poor weep at the misfortunes of the rich, when the rich are still rich from the salvage of their so-called wrecks. It's that man who has caused needless pain and anxiety. That same spirit is very much in the world, and as old Omar Khaym put it: "Without thee wealth is but bags of food." If one may believe the latest note on Champ Jack, he is in clover. The cheerful Austrian-Hungary, at the Orpheum theater making good, packing them in. He is a headliner on his bill. The report says that he has been accorded a greater reward than any other man after Remo. If such be the case, he is going some. And it is very likely to be as reported. All of the fumery about him was not reported. What was it just was so much advertisement for him. Why shouldn't the people wish to see a man that proved a Joshua in a way? The people who took precedent over Johnson, candidates of presidents, coronations of kings, took no precedent over him when in his zeith. And as Tempel, a German, said, "The whole world wondered." He is simply passing in review before the world, that more curious portion who take on their part in the world. They were people of Budapest. I dare say, were not carried away with Jack Johnson's exhibition; they wished to see the man who was the great reputation. The people who gave him the skill and ability. They wished to see the colossus of the nineteenth century. mimetypes The report of Johnson's doings bears somewhat of the Baron Munchhausen flavor, but at that there's enough of it to be interesting. He is doing it. It is said that at the University of Budapest, which is six times larger than the Chicago University, a professor of history benefits. After this they gave him a great reception. It's just like the college fellows to do what is reported of them, if they do it. They are the fountains of true democracy, socially, civilly, politically, holding a man's a man for that. The dreams of the university are not the dreams of the chimerical in the light of the subsequent practice. Yet they are more often right than wrong in standing for what should be. When the sluices of real life, as the river flows, are divided in that way in self-defense, for protection in society against society, against individuals, partaking of qualities in kind, thus is the man's status in this erstwhile notion of man's status in all things that relate to him. But life is better for the perennial flower chastened and sweetened as much as possible. It was a jolly bunch at Budapest, who met Jack, vouch for it. Lot Jonon, who was a professor of democracy make for an Atlantis of THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. old Plato himself did not dream of, maybe. The report has it, also, that Jack will tour all Europe, visiting the great cemeteries of the region, and we think of the Himalayas, the home of the snow. Physical culture there is a mania, turning and wringing rains in the mountains, but in those countries of our slugfests, just as we know little of Spanish bull fights. But we have taught England to eat corn. Think of a country that was dead set against corn! Corn a la cob or any other old The note says there's no discrimination against the black man. It adds: "When one sees how like a man he is treated here, he wonders why he remains in America, he treats it so. I see that you one too agrar to grasp hands at that pint made. There are some other little drawbacks in Europe that make up for the freedom we would enjoy there. The story is too long to recite here. Nor must it be believed that they have no decided racial news. We should think of it as a result of every much as we think of friendly localities in our own country, where there are something like a score of people among two or three hundred thousand. Here is no opportunity for a racial test in the trust sense. The "score" or so in Europe. I have learned, "I am not knowledge in their movements. But they know that they are colored people, all right enough. Patriotism demands that we stick up for own whenever it is possible to do so. It is said that Mrs. Jack Johnson is coming in for a share of attention. I have not thought a great deal of mixed marriages, but seriously think well of Mrs. Jackson. No. 2 in that she has had the nerve to stick to her choice. The first Mrs. Johnson was ever bit as determined. Love life that passeth the understanding. INDIANAPOLIS BOY IS EASY WINNER Jack Dillon Victor by Decision Rout in Butler, Eighth-Sailor in Eighth, Eighth. Battered and beaten, his body aching from the terrific punishment inflicted by his opponent, outfought, outboxed, but not outranched, Sailor Ed Petroskey of San Francisco, and Indianapolis at the Holland arena, Butte, Mont. November 27, in one of the grandest contests ever witnessed in this city, and incidentally brought to light, as far as local opinion goes, a man who is certainly the middleweight jack-Dillen. Dillon showed dazzling speed, but still never seemed to be fully extended. His defense was well-night perfect. His prowess was impressive accuracy, and his cleverness, as compared to the less artistic Petrosky, a revelation even to those who have seen him in his daily life. He was a master of timing when he was in any danger. Petrosky several times landed, and landed hard, but not a scratch did he put on the cool, never-changing countenance of the calendar. Dillon is Master. The sailor, game to the core, tried everythin gin his book, his life, his training, and during these periods Dillon pounded and popped Ed's stomach and anointed him, and gradually began to have their effect. At long range Dillon was, in any style of milling the cropped-haired boy surpassed his opponent so far that there is hardly any comparison that Dillon several times tried hard for a knockout and only the sailor's spendid gameness and bravery, in hope of possibly landing a counting blow kept him on his feet. In the eight round Dillon seemed to have the sailor at his mercy, but Ed went into a break and honestly continued his vague battling, while Dillon swung rights and lefts with terrific force into his face, his body an do every thing in or more. Time and again Dillon rocked Petrosky's head with terrific rights and lefts, but the sailor lived u pio his reputation for gameness and refused to be floored for the final Petroskey Down Nine Seconds. It was a terrific volley of rights and lefts, a crashing right to the jaw, and a crashing left to the ear, in the elight, and it looked as if the contest was finished then and there. But the sailor stayed down for the count of mine and then got to his feet, managing to last out Dillon had a majority of the rooms some of them only use, and the other would make a less perate rally that would offset to some extent Dillon's efforts, but it is safe to say that the majority of the periods were safe and the pace terrific. The going was fast and the pace terrific. LOUISVILLE, KY. Kid Snead Defeats Battling Kirby. Kid Snead defeated Battling Kirby in one of the hardest fought matches in the Buckingham theater. Snead had a slight advantage in open play, but Kirby was in second and fought like a tiger. In the third round Snead repeated his victory, facing face and won a hard fought and popular decision in the opening fight of the local tournament, with much aplause as they left the ring.

Joe Rivers, the Los Angeles Mexican, defeated Leach Cross, the New York lightning, and Vernon arena at Los Angeles, November 27. After two knockouts in the round, Rivers cross showed fought brilliantly, but could not overcome the lead Rivers won, the soft sunlight of the late afternoon and finished under the "spit" of the four great arcs over the basin, about 10 feet back, the basin weighed against the ropes, everything gone but his fighting instinct, while darting about him like a California frog, sending one last punch through the beaten boy's guard, a punch that would have been impossible. Rivers trying send one last punch through the beaten boy's guard, a punch that would have been impossible. Upon no less than five occasions Rivers had his opponent staggering, and his failure to stop Leach was the key to he broke the thumb of his right hand in the eighth round. The glove had to be cut from the injured hand, and Rivers left the ring suffering. PITTSBURG, PA. The Monticello Athletic Association Will Open Campaign for new (By J. Dorsey.)

ANOTHER NEW BUILDING AT TUSKEGEE A lady in Philadelphia has just notified the trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute that she will be glad to provide the money with which to build and equip a thoroughly up-to-date laundry building for the use of the institution. This is the building which the trustees have been asking for for some months. It is the purpose of the officers of the Tuskegee Institute to use this building in doing the laundering for each other and students and also to use it in training men and women in the best methods of conducting a laundry. When it is considered that over 250,000 of our people ear nthir living through laundering it can be seen that this industry is a very fundamental and important one. There are openings in many sections of the South for first-class laundries owned and operated by black people. It is the hope of the officers of the Tuskegee Institute to turn out people able to run and operate laundryes. WHEN IN CINCINNATI, O.. Call at L. Gabbert's jewelry Store and 1000 Lincoln avenue.
