Gray (By R. W. Thompson.) (Bureau of the Freeman, 1337 Wallach Place, N. W.) Your correspondence has been the required words of commendation for the uncovering of the two sets of "marse's nests," alleged to exist in the District of Columbia by a "wild-catcher in one of two mistakes of accepting his stuff" without investigating the verity of the story submitted, and are delighted with our expose of the falsity of the yarn that the colored schools are to be slaughtered as a punishment being active in promoting human rights and the friends of both Dr. Booker T. Washington and the workers in the National Colored People speak in terms of the warmest approval of our report, which indicated that there is nothing in the sensations of the yarn that is engaged in a studied effort to "eliminate" Dr. Washington as a factor in the scheme of race development. "Harmony is the element of macro advancement, and the adherents of Dr. Washington's plan of the lines laid down by the N. A. A. C. P. are doing their level best to push the cause of the people forward and to turn their guns against the enemy in the air, probably to a greater extent than at any time in recent years, and this happy situation, and the mischief-makers who seem to fear that with the coming of peace, their occupation may be gone on another, or quarrel about methods while the battle is rising. They fight the foe to the one of each after his own fashion. This is what the leaders of both camps are saying. The historian of the future will see that the records are kept straight. Creamer and Rogers in "The Old Mans Boy. Alex Rogers and Henry S. Creamer's superb company of forty players is presenting "The Old Man's Boy to the Howard Theater. Mr. Rogers has earned a national reputation as a character actor, and is denominated by his admirers as the best actor in collaboration with Jesse A. Shipp. Mr. Rogers wrote the book for in "Dahomey, the other famous Williams and Walker successes, which "Randanna Land," and other famous have pleased millions of Americans of lyrical and best known by his "Bon Bon Buddy," "The Jonah Man," "Harbor lost Dreams," "By-Gone Days in Creamer is equally talented as a producer and is an adept at staging original dances, spectacular plotures, and the kind of those who seek to be amused and entertained, as well as those who wish to the tenderer emotions stirred. The hard-faced abstraction of the peculiar genius of both Mr. Rogers and Mr. Creamer, and the sparkling musicals, clean comedy lifting melodies and pretty portraits, rendered by a comedian abounding in the best theater. Billy Hare carries the principal comedy role and adds new laurels to his already long list. Charles Gilbert, Hortense Sturter, Alice Gorgas, Andrew Bishop and Cassie Norwood are members of the company, dividing the work among the splendid production. Manager Teresa has done well to bring them here. Training Colored Boys as Chauffeurs. The Cardozo Vocational School has added a course in the care and operation of automobiles, in response to a need for students to take a class in gasoline motor practice is a novelty in the public schools of city, and this is the first year that the school has been attempted. Its success is shown on the fact that in the day and night classes there are already twenty pupils in the class, and the faculty is which the school is unable to provide for until the facilities for practice are hired. In this city there are openings for students to attend courses and upon the graduation of the present classes, there is little doubt that places at lucrative salaries can be obtained. The Cardozo Vocational School and under the guidance of cylinder Chalmers is being used now for practice and the work is decidedly interesting. Mr. Arthur C. Newman is the head of the Cardozo Vocational School and under his supervision, it is becoming a marked factor of educational life of the nation's capital. Superior of the school, it is being a marked interest in the development of this practical fea- ture, the local school system, and it's greatly pleased with the excellent results that are flowing out of it.

Tyler Advises Colored Men and Women of the South to Avoid "Traveling for Pleasure"—Accommodations Are Declared Menace to Health of Whites and Blacks Alike. According Estimates the Boycott Women Need $12,000,000 Less in Revenue to Railroads. A pacific boycott against Southern colored passenger—a boycott which, if the startling figures adduced be true, colored passenger—a boycott which, less than $12,000,000 annually—is advocated by Ralph W. Tyler, national organizer of the National Business Men's League. Mr. Tyler, whose home was formerly Columbus, and who has been active in the Navy Department as a membered as auditor for the Navy Department under Presidents Roosevelt and Taft. He has just completed a three-year tour through Southern States, and as the result of his observations has worked out the plan of boycott, which is being encouraged by the more prominent Negroes of Washington, D. C., and which is to receive nation-wide sup- "Boycott Is Legitimate." "The boycott, used as I suggested," Mr. Tyler explained, "is a legitimate weapon. If the wife of the Secretary of State and the wife of the Speaker of the House and the wives of other prominent government officials may inaugurate the boycott on eggs because the price fixed by the merchants seems to them inordinate, surely no violent criticism may be leveled at the colored people for peacefully boycotting those Southern railroads which furthess the case, and they would not be tolerated by health boards in Northern cities. I do not hesitate to say that the accommodations supplied colored passengers by most of the Southern railroads are abominable, a disgrace to civilization. The coaches are filthy, toilet- and do not separate the sexes, and are so foul as to constitute a menace to the health of white and black passengers alike. "In those Southern States through which I have recently traveled there are 1,500,000 colored men and more than 1,500,000 men and more than 1,000,000 parents. I have gathered a scientific pursuits. I have gathered statistics and made certain calculations which show that during the last year the colored people averaged per capita $2.73 for passenger fare over Southern railroads, a total of $1,145,000 for the 6,500,000 color fees." Protest Brought No Relief. "The colored merchants in the States through which I traveled also paid $400 or weight shipped over these routes or made a grand total of $181,193,000 paid to Southern railroads by the Negroes in these Southern States—not all the Souths were colored merchants, but a sum of money they are given coaches to ride in which would be resarded as unfit for the station or transportation accounted for. colored travelers are even worse. Respectful protest has brought no relief and the peaceful boycott seems to be the only way to keep colored travelers are even worse. The "jim crow" laws of the Southern States in all instances specifically provided colored people shall be provided with separate accommodations which shall be the equal in all points of comfort and convenience of the states. Every State through which I have traveled this provision is a hollow mockery. the colored coach or compartment is indistinguishable from the smoke and cinders from the engine and where it acts as a buffer between the compartment is not large enough to accommodate the passengers, and frequently colored passengers, after paying full fare, are forced to stand throughout the entire journey. Coaches Are Crowded. "I have seen coaches for the colored people crowded to suffocation; have seen them which had seats for but half that number. No matter how well dressed or how smart, the man can secure sleeping accommodation on a night ride. The colored patrons of the South except for women have refused to use inferior accommodations that the white patrons pay for superior accommodations. The women have refused to use the railballs of the South except in emergencies. They refuse to travel for 'pleasure' for there are no other conditions such as I have described. If the colored people of the South generally would adopt this policy—and this is the case in the South except for women, I have described. —if they were to travel only when driven to it by necessity, the revenue derived by Southern railroads from colored passengers would be much lower. If the temper of the population, the railroads approximately would cost the railroads approximately $60,000 annually. If the temper of the population, the railroads approximately during my journey does not change this be made an issue during the 1914-1915 season. In 1914 as deeply interested as the colored, for a today no greater menace to the health of the population, the railroads coaches assigned to colored travelers. Sonner or waiting rooms and the Railroad coaches fact that these are the breeders of plague and contention and that the price ultimately to be paid must be paid in the lives of the passengers. BEAUTIFUL KANSAS CITY. Colored People Up and Doing—Engaged in All Sorts of Enterprises. (By Ralph W. Tyler.) Special to THE FREEMAN. The self-satisfied EAST rests upon its stock yards its abattoirs and its beef barons, and its restaurants and its boast of so beautiful and extensive a system of boulevards or more handsome residence, manies, which will rival the houses of New York millionaires which line River City, and the country have just as fault conception or knowledge of the hustle and progress of their brothers here in Kan- If you want the very best evidence of race progress, of race loyalty and co-operation, come to this city, whose abattoirs supply a very large per cent. of the world with meat. There is an air of hustle here among colored men and women rarely seen, and an evidence of business thrift unsurpassed anywhere among N-groes. And withal there is culture and refinement the equal of that found in socially famed Washington for the pressured “Hul” of the miners. Bousier, the hundred thousand dollars invested here by colored men and women in business enterprises and $5,500,000 of reality in the possession of the race here tells something of the progress made by the race in this new metropolis of the West. Thirty-two colored churches here administer to the spiritual needs of the race: 91 colored school teachers, through 12 school buildings, conserve the educational desires of the race and 30 physicians, 4 dentists, 8 lawyers and 6 pharmacists, with the ministers and 91 teachers, form a professional coterie the equal of the same number of whites here of else The race is represented, actively represented, in 35 lines of business in Kansas, being recorded, and the race unity prevailing assures continuation of this success. In my visit here I have been impressed, envelopes the colored people here. One of the most active members of the confidence in their ability, succeeded against any odds that possesses and fairly envelopes the colored people here. One of the most active members, too, for the wonderful progress of the race in business here is that this is the home of the banner Local Negro Business for president Fortune J.

Keeling, is most intimately associated in the work of betterment in Kansas City. The teachers, the ministers, while co-operating enthusiastically to advance the material progress of the race here, also serve to maintain and develop the $30,000 color people in this city and the wealth of $190 is the proof offered as to how well they have learned the lesson of getting something the white man wants which earnestly and effectively teaching.

MISS WAIT'S SERMON. Special to The Freeman January 18, at Bethel A. M. E. Church which was preached as follows: I have been talking, praying, singing, with people to receive a time of gladness. I have been benefited with good it is your own fault. We have been trying to trim up and cut out sin left behind, back-sliders reclaimed, back-sliders reclaimed. Christ is always ready to receive and it has been a feast of revival. I ask the prayers of those people who are not. There is exuses to all things, one side supposed to be composed of enemies and the other friends. We need more grace of God | noun hearts, "Glory to God in the Hurt." Christ preached repentance, prayed repentance, preached the truth, songs cried repentance. He said the men and get right with God. All malice, envy, must be out of our hearts, other-wise even can't see God's face in peace. None but the pure in heart can see God. "What think ye of Christ?" Jesus is a great physician. He has never lost sight of God. He is always on Him. Stay by Him. Some day Christ shall rise and we will be where we shall rise and no more. When the mist clears other better by and by, we will all meet in glory that great morning. One of Miss Wait's favorite songs was "What Think ye of Christ" for Me. The subject of Miss Wait's sermon January 18, at the A. M. E. church was "What Think ye of Christ," it being ably preached. Miss Clara Davis rendered an excellent piano solo January 18 at Mt.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX. BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, JAN. 31, 1914. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Hayti's gone bad again. It seems to have the habit. Moyer Bell is still mowing down the clubs and so forth. He said he would do it. The Evangelistic campaign for 1,000 members for the Y. M. C. A. will be on February 23rd. The ministers are expected to play an important part. Dr. Joseph H. Ward sounded a splendid keynote last Monday after noon at the Y. M. C. A. as the initial in the campaign for the campaign for 1,000 members or "burst." From the East, the Orient, comes the word that the "La Furula" is a better thing by way of a dance than our Tango. Well, we are from Missouri. Trot out your "La Furula." Segregation should be on the wane as benightment is on the wane. How incompatible is this: the more civilization, the more segregation. Some perverseness some where, "ain't" there? The board of school commissioners for Indianapolis has prohibited dancing in all of the school buildings. A wise set indeed. The dancing business is going a bit too far for the kids. In this case, time the stress is to do all you can possibly do, and then pro fess innocence when asked an expla- tion. The young ones will grab hold of the earth earthy quick enough with out bringing it to them post haste. Let the kids continue their unscientific romping where innocence is without a shadow of doubt. In due time the rest will come if we are anxious for it—if we are anxious for it. The larger number of colored ministers of the city were met by Mayor Jos. E. Bell at the Y. M. C. A. building last Monday afternoon. There were also prominent colored citizens among them, all of whom manifested pleasure at the expressions let fall by the chief executive of the city. Those present were: Reverends George A. Martin, B. H. Corley, A. J. Shockley Frank G. Brookins, Wm. H. Bell, W. P. Toad, D. P. Roberts, D.; D. W. S Hodge, J. A. Burton, A. W. Martin W. McWilliams, Samuel Howard charles Jones, H. A. Foreman, Wm. H. Toad, B. J. Roberts, D.; D. W. Jnoce, B. J. Prince, D.; D. W. Wines, Jr.; John Mitchell, Henry H. Herod, H. Weaver, D. D.; S. Watchlor, James Martin Mason, F. Francis Wilson, and Chas. W. Lewis Among the prominent citizens present were: Geo. L. Knox, A. E. Manning Henry Saunders, Drs. W. E. Brown Jos. H. Ward, and E. N. Perkins. Again the republic of/Hayti is turulent, a most dangerous state to be in at this time. Mexico is already trying the patience of our country, and which stands as a kind of guarantor for the peace of the Western Hemisphere, especially for those countries at the south of us. At least that is the European notion of this country's attitude. More than once within recent years Hayti has broken out into insurrection, rebellion or revolution, thus attracting the attention of civilization. It would be difficult to advise what the island should do to insure the continued respect of the sister nations. We know this—that the country is one of the garden spots of the world, and hence, a very tempting morsel. This fact added to the press enturtpture, the past reputation, and one fairly trembles for that country's future. A CALAMITY LETTER. Elsewhere in this issue will be seen a communication from a Southern city which would have one to believe that the white South had practically risen en masse against the Negroes, domestically, if it can be put that way. The writer goes on to say that the Negroes groove to fighting, now with the foreign servants who are being eagerly sought to fill their places. The writer is somewhat of a calamity shrieker. He does make some assertions which do not depart widely from the truth. He offers some suggestions which are timely enough. However, he overshoots the mark. The white South is not "up in arms" against the Negroes. Nor are they indicted wholesale for shortcomings along the line of domestic economy. There is a grain of truth in this charge, or implied charge of inefficiency. There is an alarming tendency on the part of the younger Negroes to get away from real work. The disposition is merely to serve—to put in time, void of all that thing or feeling that takes hold of the true worker or artist, and which will not let him go. One is reminded of the wrestling of the angel and Jacob. The latter would not let go until he had received a blessing. The good workman feels that his successful work is his blessing. Perhaps the washwoman, the cook, the house man or maid will not be so totally absorbed in their work, yet if one would be all that is expected of him, he must have some such spirit. Can not render enough service should be it. Be no less content than the employer at the way things are done, is it. See him one better if necessary is it. The Dutch haus frau of Holland has become proverbial for her household industry. From what is said she joys in having things bright and shining. She joys in thoroughness. What is said of her goes for the foreign servant classes; they are well trained, to the extent that serving seems a part of their being. With too many is the tendency to escape the class; so unworthy motive from financial viewpoint, she to go up is the natural inclination of man kind. But this does not mean sacrilege of service, the neglect of service. We are yet in the ranks until we escape the ranks; and while there we should efficiently serve. We will have the servant classes regardless of what we wish. In fact there should be a feeling of a sense of restfulness and security, especially on the part of the girls and women, who are so often buffeted about in the world, owing to their narrow movements in the world of industrialism, knowing that there are kindly homes, kindly people whom they may serve, and practically be as they are. True enough their scope is widening as may be seen in the Northern cities. Here colored girls and women are seen trooping at early morn and late afternoons to and from their work. Their opportunities doubtless will increase in time, and thus a class, similar to the white class, will be relieved of work that is not congenial to it. As said before, there will be a domestic class. There are those who must serve in that class. And to serve should mean efficiency. Serving is serving, whether by a bank clerk or a bootleak. Be the best of your line. MAYOR BELL MEETS THE MINISTERS. Mayor Bell, when addressing the colored ministers at the Y. M. C. A. building last Monday afternoon, was in a very excellent frame of mind. The same can also be said of that fine appearing group of men, the ministers and the prominent colored citizens, that sat and heard what he had to say concerning his policies as they concern the government of this city. The news, of course, had long since gone out that Mr. Bell was making a noise like a sure enough mayor, for the last few months they written. His works on Indiana avenue appealed to the ministers and leading citizens, consequently they were glad enough to see the man who dared. Geo. L. Knox presided at the meeting. He opened by suggesting that they have prayer by Rev. Chas. W. Lewis. Perhaps it is out of place to pray on prayers, but this: He prayed like a statesman who knew full well the needs of his country. After a speech in keeping with the sense of the meeting Mr. Knox introduced Jos. E. Bell, mayor of the city of Indianapolis. It was seen that the mayor was impressed with the fine body of men before him. This, however, could not be told by anything other than his felicious speech. He is one of those sphinx-like men who are not read through their countenances, but by what they do and say. Physically he seemed as inert as a mass of marble; when he spoke all warmed up to him. The mayor said that he had received letters from the good people of the city—ministers and others. He was pleased at this manner of manifestation, but he wished to meet them face to face. Many things are said by the press which are often prejudiced to men, he said. His case was not different, consequently to meet and know the man was the better thing. He was surprised that the vicious element had been catered to rather than the good. The mayor spoke hopefully of the colored people. He said that prejudice is giving way to reason. There is a getting together. The colored man is more and more being looked on as a man; he is helping to make "many" identified with the city's interests. "The colored citizen can look to the city hall and feel that I am his mayor." Other expressions, and similar, were let fall by Mr. Bell, to which were hearty responses from the group of men before him. Speaking of Indiana avenue he affirmed what was thought to be his opinion—that it was a disgrace. It was an awful indictment from the head of the city government concerning the part of the city where the colored people are best known. He has expressed himself as determined to clean up that street. "It will be tough to do tough element to live." He will keep up the fight against viciousness as long as he is mayor. The mayor said that he wanted the friendship of the preachers, of the good citizens generally. If he would be popular it would be with those worth while. Speaking of the welfare of the colored laboring men Mr. Bell said that when the season opened he would see to it that some of them would be in the city departments such work as cleaning up was possible. He thinks very much of the colored man as a workman. He will do all he can to see the public work distributed among the colored men. The mayor is not with the clubs as he found them existing. He says that he had to suppress a colored friend in crushing out the infquiry. He thought that if this man was really his friend he would not have him do any thing but what became a mayor of this grassland. In closing the saxon, the mayor, the Sunday, he says that it meant more people at church and more people at home on Sunday. Intoxicating liquors will not be permitted sold in unlicensed places. Such places will be suppressed. He will not interfere with the properly conducted club. The mayor said that he was in for no "blue laws," but wished to conduct the city government in such a way as to meet the approval of the better judgments of men. He would set a standard for good government that will stand as a precedent for years to come. Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Weaver, of the Presbyterian Church, responded to the mayor, revoking his timely remarks. Others who followed were Dr. D. P. Roberts, of the A. M. E. Church, and Dr. B. J. Prince, of the Second Baptist Church. There were also many Amens to the very satisfying speech of the mayor. A banquet was spread at the close when speechmaking continued. The Freeman for sale by Clalborne White, 118 Cora street, Durham, N. C.

As Kentucky is fighting to stampede every feature of the educational causes, it would be unwise for her to have some direct medium by which she could supply the great wants of the people who are prepared to do the work. Colour is the first to be the work that has been organized to supply teachers who are prepared to teach and cannot find a place, of which Hardin Tolbert is proprietor and manager of this school of education. This is for the benefit of the hundreds of Brilliers of pupils who are graduating every year, well prepared and have not any direct way of getting a job. This need has long been neglected among the lead-in of the educational movement in Kentucky. Here to be a teacher who was prepared, their hardest obstacles was to find a position, but this will no more dominate to the great educational advancement. The Colored Bureau of Education will be the solution for this for the use of which specialism is to raise the standard of efficiency in education in Kentucky. There is no reason why any well equipped teacher should be out of employment. The great progress is ideas that Kentucky is setting forth. Publications are ready for efficient teachers in Kentucky.

I will furnish line and page; You must bring a soul aglow on the age. I am but a shadow sent. Telling of a shape that's gone; I am just an instrument All mankind may play upon. If you would behold the shape, You must crave it all alone. I shall be graven On your door till you graven Now I am but a skeleton, Flesh and blood and soul and speech Were the property of one— Now the property of each. If you see a God-like eye, Give it not an ancient name. Would you stamp a wanton lie On the helmet of your fame? If you hear a charming tongue, Do not think it from the dead; This old world proclaims it young, Through your heart and through your head. If you am a ghastly find You are poor beyond compare— You are poor and undead, Dweller in a world of air. Time and tide were theirs to brave. Time and tide are yours to stem. Row not o'er their open grave Till you drop your diadem. Honor all who strove and wrought, Even to their tears and groans: But slay not your honest thought Through our reverence for their bones. Reader, listen, ere we part, Search to brave and remember to read; Achieve your brain and heart; You will live this simple creed. . . .

The team enters singing "You Are a Nut," a brisk movement winding up with a bit of eccentric comedianism by the use of a full and ideal looking, restless summer girl in her stunning outfit. she has all that goes to make up a successful stage woman. She is pretty Billy McCarver has lost nothing in the years; really he has gained, and as all things do which are good in the first place. His talk is wholly new to the patrons of this theatre, full of fun and wit. In fact there are no bad places in his act—no deserts. His acting, his soldier stunt is just funny enough. He is a comedian without qualifying the assertion. Miss McCarver is a good straight, the mood, the expression and the tongue. Miss McCarver sings "Never Too Old to Love" in a most pleasing way. She goes right to the hearts of the old "scrappers" who had begun to think themselves "all in" on the loving line. The new Pandova introduced hope into the world. Long live Pandora! She has a pretty voice. Billy, when doing the soldier stunt, is funny and clever. His cane dance is a good one. He sings "War on Hand". Their close is "Steamboat Whistle. Now Blow. Blow." MAY AND MAY Original String Beans The String Beans do considerable more acting this week than they did last week, taking some of his notions, taking some of his motions, taking some of his may be seen. He does something of a monologue stunt, making some good things happen, he keeps an eventually turn out to the heading of the Negro stage, not merely as a curiosity, as by a performer of merit, one who enters in the fullest sense the close shows what he can do. He has his own style of putting things together, he improves if he improves his stuff and keeps straight he will be imitated just as a good worker, as was said last week of her. She enters into the work with right hands, she improves Her "Turtle Dow" song is pretty done. So is I "Don't Want Nobody That Don't Want Me" by String Beans, finishing stunt is a bit of good acting. PRINCESS REGISTERS, THE RAGTIME PRINCESS The princess is there in size as well as she is in her rattime notes. But she does not sing all rattime. She does more, but it is easy to see that rattime is her cleaning up proposition. She has a splendid vaudetile voice. THE FILM MAKES A SUCCESS IN THEATRE PRINCESS REGISTERS. appearing. She makes good as a stage figure. She gets herself together well in her splendid costumes when she looks the part of a million dollar doll. She sings "Whistling Jim," "Million Dollar Doll," a new version, and the "International Rag." Her steps are dignified and pretty, also her movements. All of her songs are well done.

Pekin Theatre Changes Hands, Opens Next Week—S. H. Dudley Frozen Out of the Consolidator—Bert Williams Deplored. The Pekin Theatre, the life's work of the late Robe T. Motts, has been taken under the management of the Schaefer Brothers. The entire building has been remodeled both inside out, out of the former interior, dismantled with the outer aisle closed and two wide side aisles have been made to use instead. The orchestra cave has also been enlarged and the interior appliances will be new. The ceiling has been frescoed in yellow with gilded gold finish.

Charles Gardner, formerly at the Bush Temple, was a physician at the time but recently interested in the Tusslegee-moving pictures, it is understood will be acting manager-in-authority of the New York Times. The Motts of the Pekin theatre was leased by a white syndicate, managed by George B. Levee. It was run as a pic-house house on the time of the colored shows were put on. Miss Linsay, Mr. Motts' sister, now Mrs. Dan Jackson, was said to be owner of the theatre but owing to the unsettled use of a new and new by-hams suit after Mr. Motts' death. George Holt, owner of the Hotel Brunswick, and a friend of the family, was said to be an interview with Mr. Holt at the time, he informed me that it was true that he had bought the theatre, but current rumor has it that he had only bought it. It was to serve the two-old ship of Mr. Motts' sister, a told me as he was a man to run exclusively as a picture of the house but were not a policy can well be determined upon it.

Decker Mulligan, a very actress of comedy presence in Chance," an excellent drama, was the main star, but also Dean in the movie, presenting the best prize ring one-act drama ever seen upon the stage. Other acts were "The Temps," a good basso, in harmony that a good basso. The Break-Away Barlows on laders and Mundell were also, captivating. NEW BILL AT THE MONOGRAM. Sam Davis Makes. Good. Harry Massengale and Odessa Crossby gave the most complete act on the stage, with a trombone solo and course of talk, a trombone solo and dancing. Sam Davis (not of Davis & Walker) a new black face actor, and the band included a good song. The Butlers just escaped more than passing notice while the Johnson's, the man a unique guitar player, entertained. His wife, Bill, was forced to retire from the stage. **GLENN & BROGSALE AT THE NEW MONOGRAM.** Margurite Jackson Makes a Hit Glenn & Brogsdale returned here fully as popular as ever in a new act throughout. Margurite Jackson, contralto, a sweet singer with a voice of unlimited upper and lower range, sang with direct reflection to color, which should be omitted, were well received as the comedian was good and funny; Jordan and the ancient variety were also on the bill.

Music was served by Clarence Jones' orchestra. Prof. Richard T. Greener, the noted philosopher, was a caller in Chester Cunningham's store. State officials last week invited him to Fred Lance Bradford, the mayor, to meet. In explaining incidents in relation to his position as secretary of the Grant monument fund and President of the Board, Mr. Greener said this: "It is regrettful that the people of our race use a rule to determine what something a fact does mostly to importance and less to contempt or envy." William H. Moore, recently contributed an article entitled "New Negro Songs" in a New York musical magazine. He also gave staff notes by Will Dorsey, the composer and arranger. Mr. Moore, whom I consider the most scholarly colored of the musicians, said that rythm music itself is original and legitimate, but had been condemned on account of bad lyrics and disreputable motions. The self-satisfied nature of music is typically described as follows: "It was neither lascivious nor appended to the distressing impulses of general moral degeneracy." * The annual ball of the Joe C.

AT THE MAJESTIC WEEK OF FEB, 2nd Mr. Sim Williams is today taking his place in the lineup of successful Amer- Mr. Williams realized that the theatricrocers of this country outside of New York have been into the box office for their money, and that a condition was arising throughout the country that would have to be met by the producing managers sooner than the producers had to get any returns in the box office. This condition was the production of better shows by competent performers up to the standard of the metropolis. Associated with Tom Sullivan, and produced burlesque shows which practically revolutionized that branch of the theatrical business and compelled the production of more shows. Individually Mr. Williams produced the Parisian Beauties now playing the progressive theater and which created the burlesque theater and the burlesque houses in this country, by reason of the magnificent manner in which the show was staged, and the excellent company which assisted it. His latest production is the "Girls from Joyland," a two act farce in well known comedian, assisted by Harry Gray, another comedian, assisted by Miss Dolly Sweet, a charming soubrette who has appeared in several Broadway THE THEATRES OF CINCINNATI, O The Pekin theatre opened Monday night to a record breaking crowd.

The Lincoln has a high class bill, which under ordinary circumstances would be called all headliners, which the manager has endeavored to secure even for the president, but it seemed like it was impossible to get up enough steam among the people who came nightly and went there to remove that Alaskan chill that pervaded the faces and hane cuffs unremoved on the proxies faces and hane cuffs found the ideal act in the Stewart cross, in a screaming little sketch, "A Briar Rose," from which raised the Lincoln thermometer from Fahrenheit.

The Performers and the Orchestra Professor Calhoun, of Chattanooga, Tenn., while not widest, never has the most finished musicians of the race. He is a graduate of Musinol College, a finished pianist and harmonist. Sam a Connolly of the Grand Orchestra, aside from teaching in the public schools and in private. He spoke at length about the great music of the orchestra, and the orchestra. There is entirely too much discord between the two. A performer should insist on all be aware, while the musician is at a disadvantage. The performer knows what he is doing, while the musician must try to grasp all that he can remember. The music is new, the act is new; the musician must try and watch the stage and react to the performance. The music is new, the act is new; the musician must try and watch the stage and react to the performance. Not the easy thing to do. There are also inum- erable cues to read and remember. It is almost impossible for the musician not to be able to read the cues. It is then that a musician can tell the class of performer with whom he is dealing. A sensible performer will appreciate the homesickness of the mistakes were made and assist in their correction. An ignorant, conceited or big-headed performer will make every effort to convey to the audience the impression that the musician is Professor Calhoun has played for Mme. Salika, Flora Batson, Signor瓦兰aksi and white and colored. He remarked that these singers and musicians had arrived at such pieces, they were ignored while assisting them. If he made a mistake, the audience was so entranced by their rendition as such pieces were to not be sequenced upon his part. I was whisked away Black Patt Troubadours every light in a little theater where we were playing wonders. The pianist could not play the piece without seeing the Madame never failed; she sang the song to its closing and retired from the stage the recipient of tremendous applause. The artist will arise superior to every handicap. The object of the performer and the musician is identical, a good show, and WHAT'S WHAT ON THE DUDLEY CIRCUIT. Week of January 26, 1914.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Gibson's New Standard Theater Hat Opened—Building Decorated— A Successful Event. The opening of Gibson's new Standard theater was a decided success. The theater was beautiful, and bunting, which were arranged artistically and caught the eye readily. The sign was hung out nightly and the colors were bright, but the mainly showed their appreciation in back-up up Mr. Gibson's enterprise, which was well received. Regular prices of 25, 50 and 75 cents, and $1.00 prevailed, and despite this fact, vicing with each other in dress and style, the performance. The boxes were filled nightly with the fashionable elite of the city, vicing with each other in dress and style, and reminded one of the "Grand Opera" night. The company decided upon opening this, and the box was placed in front, J. Lobrite Hill's Dashwood Follies. They certainly made good. It was a musical that was loud and loud, and loudly funny. The presenting company was exceptionally well balanced, and aside from this important fact the swing was not too strong. It takes the show through three acts with all possible entertainment for an audible performance, and responded to every enco Taken all in all, it is an event that Philadelphia can be proud of, and the citizens will rally around Manager Gibson and give him their undivided support for a beautiful house, where they can at all times enjoy their own talent that the country produces. GREAT CRISIS AT HAND Negroes of Texas Facing it—The One Great Hindrance Should Be Removed. Special to The Freeman. Dallas, Texas. Dear Editor: We are facing a great crisis in Texas. As the as is said about it, the eight hundred thousand of a deplorable condition by reason of the growing sentiment of the white people to employ scientifically trained servants to the home, yard, barn, field and shop. The segregation is not trained, scientifically in domestics and industries, and as a result, their places are being filled by those impoverished for this expressed purpose. The great detriment to this country, in many respects. The signs point that way.) While it is true that thousands and thousands of women are constantly employed, as of yore, they are true that the white employers are continuously supplanting them with women in Dallas, many of our most prominent aristocratic white families have abandoned all negro help and are using those of foreign extraction. They are the ones very much, when one hears their reason. They argue that they are not putting the negro down, because of any dislike, simply because they have found the negro to be too expensive and unprofitable for, reason that he is untrained. That experience has taught them that they have been engaged in a great waste of money, employing untrained help. They claim that the negro is not on the count of his congregation's dispositions, his affability, etc., but the fact that he is untrained, unprepared to render proficiency, profitable service, they find it difficult to manage. And sad to say, they are changing. "The Mills of the Gods Grip Slow, But Into Fine Powder." Thus, we have a deplorable condition which if allowed to continue, "undoing" of the colored man in Texas. Why allow this to be done? Is the man from his untrained hand, or non-preparation? We hope not. His past record does not warrant any such idea. While he was from his county to this county of his own volition, yet when brought, he strove to adapt himself to the best he could of them. In time of peace, he felled the trees, cleared the forests, made the crops and did fairly much such a new comer, time of his life, side he went and at his command, digged the trees, waited on his master, while others, remained at home, caring for the mistress and the children. When all was done, the master rejoiced, he found that this negro at a home, had been loyal to "the man born." The above record warrants any Christian nation's respect. There surely is a panacea for every ill and it is high time that we negroes were "up and doing." Barker, Washington school in Alabamah has proven conclusively, that the negro can be trained and that when trained, becomes the most desirable servant or worker in all the land, in fact is sought North and South. And further, seeing what scientific training has done for the negro through that training, we have now forced we have the cure. The next thing necessary is to bring it into action. We have forced we have forced us to make a start to rectify matters, and as a result, we have organized and are establishing an International Normal Industrial Institute For Colored Youth," located six miles west of Dallas, Dallas county; on a 110 acre tract in the city. We are going to finish paying for and erect suitable buildings on same, so as to begin operating this coming fall. This organization is the first of many. This Institute is a Christian school, but not denominational. We plan to procure proficient domestic and industrial workers. The tract of land costs fourteen thousand dollars, a nice amount of money to pay for it, and you must be paid right away, in order that we be enabled to turn to the effort to help us. We must all who feel our sympathy and we humbly beg all to help us. "If you can not give your thousands And the heathen lands explore, You can do a mighty mission. You can walk the door, your door." We will be only too glad to receive any amount, large or small, and we kindly ask, ask, ask, money will be made, etc., be made aware Mr. A. C. Ayers, treasurer of The Texas Normal Industrial Institute for Colored Youth, and send same to our office, 3701 Munger avenue, Dallas, We would not close without calling attention to the broad-heartedness of the Board of Directors, that we have, associated with us on our board of directors, to help us foster this greatly needed Institute, Judge E.

June, jack already is matched to meet NEGRO SUPREMACY IN BOXING IS ABOUT OVER Jack Johnson, Sam Langford. Sam Mc Kea and Joe Jeanette Easing Up. The supremacy of the Negro in pugliism which has not been disputed since Jack Johnson won the heavyweight title from Tommy Burns at Sydney five years ago, unless by those who took hope in Jeffries's return to the ring, seems to be at an end. Numerous elimination tournaments among the white heavyweights have been able to gain many leading as Jeffries. Fitzsimmons, Corbett or Sullivan, and have shown little except the punching ability of Gunboat Smith, now regarded as the premier of the white heavyweights. The Negro Big Four, made up of Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Sam McVey and Joe Jeannette, have not been unusually busy, but they have at least reached the stage. The four have been ejected to inspire the error among the white. Johnson's miserable showing against his namesake, "Battling" Jim Johnson, at Paris verified the suspicions which many close followers of the game have had for some time. Jeffries could not come back, and the feeling was general that Johnson could not maintain his former strength and skill without real action in the ring. Johnson, that the dusky champion did not change. Long Rest Exacts Toll. Only two fights in four years and two months was the extent of Jack Johnson's activity to time he climbed into the Paris, and the long rest exacted its tool. Paris, and the long rest exacted its tool, to his interests, either. Close students of boxing have said that the first good heavyweight to face Johnson in the ring was the title of the Negro has carried for five years. Jim Johnson does not come up to this class standard, but he nearly won the title in his bout. He now has the new Johnson—now to force through his bout with Jack Johnson, but now to the boxing games—he is getting no consideration whatever as a post-amputation bout. He is about to bout is more from the standpoint of Jack's weakness than for showing unusual strength in the other, other-age years and never showed up beyond the mediocre stage. Certain it is that he has little little ring work he has done in the last few years. If he is better than Jack Johnson today Jack has retrograded be- Langford Eliminated McVea. Langford completely eliminated Sam McVea before he left Australia, and Big time. It is almost seven years since McVea last appeared in America, and he met with considerable success for a time in France, England and Australia. He met with the French, but one bouts which followed showed McVea on the loser's end, the last bout resulting in a knockout in France. McVea pretened in McVea's pretensions as a heavyweight star. Langford's showing against Langford at Paris just about ends Joe's claims. It was by the narrowest of margins that Negro escaped, knocked out in the round, round which he was floored three times, and the final bell found him very groggy and with Langford Jeannette won on points, but gave unmistakable traces that he was going back as a boxer, a hitter and a fighter. The enabled the Hoboken Negro to win, as Sam was clearly overweight. At that the Bostonian showed himself the better Smith Finished Langford. Langford got his quietus from Gunbott Smith in a twelve-round bout at Boston recently. Langford realized that that was not hard, as the only time he has been really extended by a white boxer in several rounds had trained hard, according to reports, yet he had been unable to get down to his old fighting weight. The success of the Gunner did much to drive away the heavyweights, but the Gunbott had felt in regard to Langford for some years. It was the general impression up to the time the class among all heavyweights, white, black, but Gunbott furnished, hurried. Now the doubt about Jack Johnson has been removed, and Jeannette goes back to Langford had already been tanned, and McVeen got his quietus several months before. The black heavyweight dynasty has been reduced to fairly good white heavyweights "coming along," it seems only a matter of a short time before the white race will furnish an undisputed heavyweight champion. The generally accepted idea that present-day white hopes do not begin to come to fruition in the sports scene seems to be rather far fetched upon looking over past performances. A careless coach, confidently and confidently, that it is the point of view regarding pugilism that has changed rather than the quality of brawn and muscle, that has changed far-reaching effects than has been realized. For one thing it brought about a change in his coaching style, boxing on the sporting pages. Whereas formedly all was to glorify the boxer and gaze over his faults, the pendulum swung back and forth, the shock and disappointment that resulted from the boosting of Jeffries out of all his glory with the laudable intention of enlivening his column, some sporting paragrapher recently apologized for his lack of support and palatable form of humor. This form of getting laughs, requiring less mental efforts than any other, has been the source of victim for a few sarcastic remarks, and the white hairs, providing ready manners, often justly and often unjustly. Conclusion Incorrect. The obvious excuse for hitting every head in sight of course, based on the alleged fact that the present-day boxers are a lot of homeless incompetents when THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER M. B. SAM LANGFORD PARIS, Jan. 24—Langford, the American pugilist, tonight knocked out Patrick Curran, the English heavyweight, in the first round of a sch-ed- compared with the old timers. But this week he would indicate that the Anglo-Saxons have changed to a race of weaklings over night, a conclusion that is manifestly incorrect. The white hopes are an incompetent lot may be true enough, but on an average day the old timers whose names will live in pugilistic history, the present set of hopes had their counterparts ten years ago. To compare Willard with Jeffries is held true, the proceeding, but it can be done with a much faster speed. For instance, could Jeffries shoot a precision than Willard's speed. He could not. Did Jeffries have a better upper arm than Willard? No, there is nothing to show it. Did Jeffries have better footwork or any footwork at all, for that matter. No, when he beaten Willard Lacks Aggressiveness. Willard's one fault is that he lacks agrestiveness, but he has never moved from the spot seat. Sharkey he planted himself in the center of the ring and never moved from the spot seat. Towering a full head over his opponent, Jeffries allowed his chunky little antagonist to maneuver in a tightly rinked in the whole encounter. And Sharkey, showing less intelligence than his opponent, was guilty of tactics he would be laughed to scorn. Yet Jeffries could not knock the opponent out of the wonderful bitter by any means, for Fitzsimons had stopped Sharkey with one punch. At Coney Island he showed all the aggressiveness of a cow chewing her cud in the second fight. Finally, Jeffries was deft to the tearful pleadings of his seconds to do a little fighting. Finally, his opponent unprotected and the extremely fragile Corbett crumpled up a la Bombardier. Well, as well as was Gunboat Has Better Record. For Fitzslimms we now have Gunbost Smith. In comparing these men it must be clear that he is the greatest fighter not only as his but of all time. Smith weighs a little more than the Ed Dunkhorst of today with as little ceremony as Fitz wasted over such development as Fitz wasted years to develop his cutting genius years to boat's age he had no such record as Stuart. In place of Chowkiw we now have Levinsky. The latter runs a poor second, but the former is a great knoote him out. And Levinsky is young, with his future all before him. INFIGHTING ESSENTIAL FOR SUC CESSFEUL CAREER IN RING. (Bv W. W. Naughton.) An inkling of the widespread chagrin caused in England by the victory of the Irish Bombardier Wells may be found in the report that a couple of English paper companies—have set aside a fund of $25000 to be spent in the development of a heavyweight to the news cabled here, the purpose is to inaugurate tourneys in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and the purpose is to straight lefts, right crosses, hooks and uppercuts is to be sent against Carpenters. Whether the story is true or not, there is ample evidence that the Britsitshe feel their loss of pugilistic pride, and are fighting to replace the tight little island on a sound Queensberry basis. The Times, in commenting on the Wells-Carpentier disaster, "Once more the pugilist who likes boxing fell before a rival who loves fighting, fighting if they are to hold their own with the American champions and such fighters. The greater efficacy of inside work has been demonstrated and again in heavyweight contests for the world's The wonder is, after all we hear about British stubbornness in the matter of adherence to old traditions, that such an influential organ as the Times should have counseled such a departure from ancient ideals. At the same time it must be said that the Times is wise in its generation, for the events of the past few years the world around have shown that the straight-legged, straight-bodied style of boxing in vogue in England has become Yankee Style Effective. It is a heritage of the Mace days, and it would be still effective, of course, if the noble artistry of the Mace had not been revolutionized by American fighters. For pretty glove play the Mace system still holds the palm. For waving damselflys, the Mace has the taut easy style of the American pugilist is vastly superior. There is something about the stiff and strong skin of these which carries one back to the days when the young idea was taught to hit straight from the shoulder. In those times the number of legitimate or surpassed opponents carried almost, on the fingers ulled twenty-round bout. Most of Langford's blaws landed on the face. Curran was hooted when he was leaving the hall. of one hand, and in the main they were straight deliveries, a boxer standing straight and tight, senses always on gage for them. In the end, uppercut was perpetrated or attempted right under his eyes. He could duck or step back or forestall an assault with a counter. There was a jacket on his back, a jacket and that was why a baw between the talented boxers was so interesting to watch. Now everything is changed. For each blow known to the English method of boxing there are surely three or four. He was the middle of the pack, the shoulder. They come from the elbow, the hip, the thigh, and according to some sources, the back. There are overhead swings and sidewinders that a straight-standing man could not hope to avoid. Even the defense but the production came from, to a misner. The up-to-date American fighter is possessed mainly with the idea of getting within range and sending in a punch. With due deference to the Times' advice to budding English pupils, the writer would arise to remark that their successful highter is both rather than neither. In the nature of team work between temperament and physique is essential. Bozer Must Be Sturdy. He must be a sturdy fellow, to begin with, and he must be thoroughly imbued with the belief that he can stand the test of time, better than the other fellow, scap stand, his. Under the old style we have each of us heard many a time and oft of brains overcoming a time and oft of the Oxford student overcoming the barge and all the things, but in the blow for blow business that goes with insight, ruggedness is a necessary. A lathy boxex might worry along for years under the "hit, stop and getaway" brief while if sent 'against Americans, whose knowledge of boxing is confined to rooting and tearing. The methods of some of the most famous American fighters of the past few years have varied so that the new system of fistiness being reduced to the science that can be expounded in manuals. The basic principle, it appears to me, after watching Terry McGovern, Billy McGovern and very many others, is to crouch and keep both gloved fists plunging like a double-headed battering ram at the elbows and forearms, working like shuttles, intercept many of the opponent's punches, in order to be the secret of being in being able to absorb more than the man opposed to you. Aside from this forthright, double-headed grazing upercurses, loop-the-loop blows, overhand wallops, backhanders and numbers of hooks and jolts, and I have yet to succeed in success. I do not specialize in any particular delivery. By all means have the British ring men become a part of the ring men. It does make the mistake of thinking that it is entirely a matter of being shown now. It is not a matter of being shown now that you must gain a general idea of the thing, and after that individual ingenuity comes in. BASEBALL PLAYERS PUT UP BEST FIGHT Athletes of the Diamond Last Longer Than Others in Lines. Cy Young Has Edge. As old Pop Time contemplates each lap of his endless marathon he raises the knees and the thought is not altogether pleasant when focused into view, for it serves to impress upon us the irresistible power of the old codger we have just dinged on. It is a forced gladness in a way, this noisy Happy New Year of ours. Are we now two mouths nearer the time when we must give up the hopeless fight against advancing years? I wonder—our greatest time is always an interesting one. Continuance of success, of supremacy in any branch of sport, depends primarily upon ability to read and learn how many of heroes of sportdom have fought the good fight; Fighters. Years of Service.

We learn that the length of service of the ballplayer and the right to note, also, that among the boxers the man who lasted the longest was a colored boy—Little George. The temperament that lurks beneath the dark skin of the Negro had a lot to do with George's long career and the Gans and Walcott who also lasted longer than is usual, had the "let joy be unconfined" spirit. Cyril Has Edge. Strange to relate who stands first in length of service among the ballplayers in league, but Young, the grand old warhorse of the team, is doubtful if Cy's record will ever be equaled by a pitcher, though Hans Wagner and Lajole seem destined to go on forever. "The German Oak" suffered from knee trouble last season, but to this day he is as good as ever. Larry had a good year, looks for a better one in 1814. Will still wag his fight against Pop Time. Had he for his foolish reducing for the rights with Nelson, Joe might have beaten Dixon's fight yanker seems to have a chance at it, now that Nelson has honest to goodness retired. Among diehouses of the minor branches of the league, the long service honor roll. George Bothner, after more than twenty years on the mat, is now in competition next season. It is rumored that William Larned, many-time champion of the tennis court, will be in competition next season. Larned has been for over fifteen years. Mel Sheppard is still one of the best middle distance men on the cinder path. But after all, Father Time is the champion champions. Dixon, Young, Fitzsimmons have passed. Old Pop Time remains. The athlete's fight is a grind, and a losing one.

This was a surprise to the gallery as well as to his own team, making it a sensible for Carr not hitting the basket for points. Hayes played an excellent game at guard. He was combined with the Reds making 135 points; Blues, 100 points; All-Highs, 100 points; Working Boys, 33 points. Hazzard of the Reds leads the points.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER THE ESCULAPIAN SOCIETY. Of Indianapolis Met at Y. M. C. A. Building—Elects Officers—A Unit for Merging Hospitals—Banquet Follows Tonets. On Tuesday evening of last week the members of the Esculapian Society consisting of physicians, dentists and pharmacists, met at the Y. M. C. A. in its annual meeting. The election of officers and the discussion of the policy of the association are among the more important business for these annual occasions. The association was called to order by the president, Dr. H. W. Armstead. Those present were: Egbert S. Dickerson, M. D.; Mart D. Battles, M. D.; Ward A. Wilson, Ph. G.; William Weir, Stearns D. D. S., Henry L. Hummons, M. D.; Calvin R. Atkin, M. D. S. M. W. Ward, M. D.; William E. Brown, M. D.; L. Aldridge Lewis, M. D.; Clarence N. Harris, M. D., D. D. S.; J. Otway, Puryear, M. D.; A. J. King, M. D.; C. A. Toles, M. D.; H. W. Armstead, M. D. S. M. W. Lewis, editor of The Freeman, was present as the guest of the president. Address by President Armstead. The address of the retiring president was as follows: Gentlemen—We have assembled tonight in our six annual meeting of the board of directors of our office me with the office of president, which office, providing that you make good, carries with it certain penalty, to your keeping and pay the penalty it imposes. When this society was first organized, many were half-hearted and not willing to give the good it might accomplish; but by a casual observations of the conditions under which the profession were being pursued, our objection was urgent. Some were trying to be knocked the other fellow while others needed each other's refusal to speak as they passed by. In the face of such conditions, there was growing rapidly, a public contempt all, which meant professional failure. But, gentlemen, I reflect your unanimous opinion tonight with the statement that this organization there exists today a liberal fraternal spirit, and the possession of the generous confidence of which it is growing in leaps and bounds. That class who would cry from the housetop that "No Nigger doctor can do anything for me" is growing beautiful and they have found that public sentiment is with us, and for us. And those of them who are still holding off are very quiet. The women largely complained through the influence of this organization. Those of us who have been here from the beginning have seen our respect and friendship that true fellowship which binds us in a tie of brotherly love. It is to be regretted that every member identified with the society, but it is hoped that at an early date they will come into the fold. At the beginning of our term, a series of interests to the public were to be prepared by you. Three were published at different times, which seemed to be the most important, but on account of unsatisfactory arrangements with the publisher, they were discontinued. I would recommend our arrangement to them next term, properly, to give strength to our organization and make it a factor to be felt by the public. A little acorn in due time becomes the giant oak." The influence of our small beginning brothers is that we were invited to come with us. The result was a state "association which by using though not designedly, but by using, we have become a fame, then popular—now unpopular, spirit of "get together" became state spirit of "get together" became state spirit of "get together" we hope to soon have the Tri-State Society, which is now in course of formation. "Big oaks from little acorns grow." Our Hospital The society has been a live wire in trying to unite the two hospitals in various times at which plans were proposed and ways and means were discussed. Like the desired results have not been accomplished, the future prospects are very encouraging. Let us hope that before many weeks, the movement have one well equipped hospital or one people with a hospitality. We express our keen appreciation for the interest of the Methodist Hospital. in our efforts along this line, and hope that we will ever keep him close in touch with us. We recommend that the endorses and endorsed aid to Lincoln Hospital in their efforts to unite with any other charitable organization of this one thing. The public see the people by the people, by the people. Gentlemen, let us be of one mind in our purpose to accomplish this one thing. When the public see the people by the people, by the people, help us to get it. There are negotiations now pending which we hope will soon give us something definite to act on. I request that my successor will keep this issue before you till the goal is You will agree with me that words fall to express our appreciation for the many courtesies shown us by many guests, giving us the use of these beautiful rooms for our meetings. I recommend that you meet with us as you are accompanied by a small appropriation. Again thanking you for the honor of serving you as your president, and for your kindness. The Election of Officers. After the transaction of other business the society went into the election of the new president, lowing were chosen; Dr. William Weir Stewart, president; Dr. Ward Wilson, vice-president; Dr. Clarence N. Harris, treasurer; Dr. Aldridge Lewis, The Banquet—Toasts. At the conclusion of the business program the members of the hospital paired to the dining room-of the Y. M. C. A. Here a sumptuous spread lay before them, consisting of the good things incident to such occa- Dr. Battles presided as toastmaster, Dr. Lewis carried out, fully carried out. Many interesting talks were made, several of which tended toward the consumption of the meal, the training for and by colored people into one. Dr. Lewis led off with the sub- Hospital for Our People Declare for One Hospital. In our zeal to conserve the health of this community, whose stewards we are, and to bring to the local colored medical profession, the recognition of their deserves, to lose sight of the fact that the real need of hospital consolidation may not be the layman, as to the medical man. His teaching has been that monopoly hinders progress, and that in all lines of human endeavor, competition is the main factor in other industries lower rates which had been almost prohibitive, as soon as the competitor was established. And he does not always readily see the advisability of furthering any project to unite the hospitals of a community, where merger and union and consolidation are being inflicted in inferior service for higher fees. But he does not know that there is reason to believe that the hospitals of hospital. He has not had explained to him that the man who gets a return on his investment and the only man is the one who is served by that That the hospitals of our city, open to colored people are woefully inadequate, that the institutions are struggling for mere sustenance, within our gates, and neither of them has the two, the good people, Indianapolis are divided; to their infinite credit and while charity hesitates to ascertain which of these two the sick must suffer, the sick of Indianapolis must suffer. It is for these therefore that we must hold the monies of those who are dying for want of oxygen and circulatory stimulation. For the typhoid fever patient who languishes because of the lack of proper institu- tional treatment. For the fibroid tumors and pus-tubs going daily into the hands of the white surgeon to make them feel comfortable, we must crush out of their hearts their fondest hopes—because they have no modern hospital facilities equipped with modern hospital equipment supplied with intelligent nurses to inspire confidence of his clientele. We think of the great good that must come to us in uniting our hospitals and to come to us when we think of such a legacy to the community. We shall become so enthused and inspired that this question which now serves as the passing of a pleasant hour. We can not attain the end by doubling. We can not squint our eyes, construct a bridge and pucker our mouths at those whose motives we do not understand. We all need ourselves to believe the end we seek is. Believing we are right then we must stand with adamantine firmness in the face.
