The most harmless fellow on earth is he who has done his worst—and failed to hurt anybody. He is "all in." Booker T. Washington is one of those rare geniuses who are equally felicitous with the pen as on the platform. Let it be emphasized that there are rare members of the L. W. W., which is set out to religious and secular New York. The Crisis will not make any more half-baked remarks about the King's English employed by Negro editors in taking care of the news of the day. Bishopic probabilities for 1916: J. S. Jackson and G. C. Clement, Zion; D. R. Roberts, A. M. E., and L. H. Brown, C. E. Keep your eye on our bulletin. New York City is to have a nine-story hotel for colored patrons, to cost $150,000. It will be located in Harlem, and Bayou of the nation's metropolis. "Brazen Bifrenory" is running "Moda Merit" race in the "sweepstakes" of today; but the later heats will show the latter horse to better advantage. Rev. R. L. W. Williams, of Marlin, Texas, must be having a "soft time of it." He has been called to the passage to attend Pillow Baptist church of that place. As for the presidency in 1946, possess your soul in influence. The right man will appear with the occasion. The Negro's most fitting role is that of "watchful waiting." A tidal wave struck Madagascar a few days ago and is said to have washed off a goodly section of the city, to take more than mere tidal wave to dislodge from his moorings the Hon. James G. Carter, our good-looking consul at Tamatave. There are the same differences in men who care, look at the men who see you, and run smooth-running, six-cylinder car, and then gaze at the fellow who reminds you of the sputtering, noisy little runabout of a lot of fuss, but getting nowhere. For the present, the Negro is praying for Cole Blesse, Bent Tillman, Jim Vardaman, Aswell of Louisiana, Ed. Hardwicke of Georgia, and others of that lk whom the Lord is permitting to live to work out a plan known only to Divinity. A metropolitan daily hints that Sending the honor of being a great constitutional lawyer, as it is evident that the long-haired Mississippi began his study of the great document at the University of Georgia, or worse than the Fifteenth Amendment. The polite, sagacious and patient Negro waiter will "come back" after the hotel owners and the moneyed benefaction, impudent demands, and unprovoked strikes of the French and Italian tray-manipulators, for whom American Americans have had a pass-fancy. No use bering the beef trust or any other commercial combination of beef and milk for the cutting line and produce nothing. Back to the soil! Raise more than your family needs for the table and put the remainder on the market. That is the remedy for the high cost of living. Keep your weather eye open for the pussy-footed cynic, who, with wolfish browl and grouchy growl, seeks to deceive the market. Wreck the successful to gratify his soulless malice and flendish chaos. The Negro race can not carry the burden that men of this law envious type must bear. Until the Protestant Episcopal and the Methodist Episcopal churches have the courage and Christian generosity to elect Negro Bishops to preside over Negro congregations, they may be said to be the cause of race problem in ecclesiastical government. The church should be an ideal institution to be less is to lose its sweetest savor. "The American Blower Company" is the name of a manufacturing concern whose modesty and dignity stamp him as a statesman of the first rank, is not one of its stockholders. Mr. Ross has worked for the office, without losing a stitch in his knitting. He never was a "blower"—just a hard and conscientious worker, --- The colored brother must "smoke up" if he would keep in the vanguard of progress. Although Matt Henson played Poet in the movie, there is nothing of record to show that any member of the black race was in Audeen's dash to the South Pole. We must not mind getting "cold" from the geography of the world is to be enlarged. William M. Kelley, in the New York News, tells a big truth in a nutshell when he says the preacher should preach business as a means of living happily and well on earth. In addition he says the preacher should reaching the celestial regions above. And, business means a fat collection plate to help along the work the preacher is doing. Master, Business and religion should be steady running mates. The Wagoner American has taken the lead as a boomer for the regular New Jersey Negro Press Association, which will appear Muskogee in August as the advance agent of the Negro Press in the Negro Clarion "Because Nashville is a 'dry' town, an effort is being made to poke fun at the Negro. And indeed, with this there Maybe Nashville is like Muskogee, where the Negro editors also are to meet in August. If any editors want to work with Nashville home, their wants will soon be supplied. A hint to the wise is sufficient. The Amsterdam News is on solid ground when it advises colored men fight systematically for their rights as citizens. No Negro with a spoon in his mouth the vagaries of Chief Saus or any fakir who argues a "Back to Africa" program. Such fellows prey upon the Negro, and they are gullible—element of the Negro race, with a view of lining their pocket echoes with the Amsterdam News: "Chief Sam, 'Get the behind me, Satan!' We shall stay in our own sane and constructive lines. NEWS NOTES OF MONTGOMERY W. VA. Special to THE FREEMAN Piedmontan, is visiting Harkins, Carrie Harrison and Ezzle. W.

GEORGE L. KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. NEW PHONE 2880. SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1914 MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The spring poet is now in order, with his "April showers bring May flowers." The colored people of Washington, D. C., have had their annual school row. It seems pretty well settled at this time, and with Roscoe Conkling Bruce still at the head of affairs. Why not make a memorial of the Frederick Douglass home, as is proposed? We have a Douglass day when the memory of the great man is honored. We are conducting a subscription fund to the end that his home be preserved in honor of his great service to the race and country. Kindly contribute to it. See it mentioned elsewhere in this issue. Mr. Wilson won a splendid victory when the House of Representatives sustained him in his side of the toll exemption controversy. In fact, the opposition has never had any argument beyond that of might to do because we had the power to do. Beyond the great thing of the conservation of national honor is that other victory—the elimination of the subsidizing idea, meaning virtually the support of a few at the expense of many. Mr. Champ Clark injected just a tiny bit of venom in his speech, to wit: "I do not believe that the fact that I led on twenty-nine ballots at Baltimore, receiving a clear majority of nine, and that I get a majority of more than 300,000 over the President in the primary elections where he and I competed, precludes me from discharging my duty or exercising my rights as a representative in Congress and as speaker to stand up for America against Great Britain." An Oklahoma mob, this week, got in its work on a Negro woman. It was composed of twelve men who succeeded in tricking the jailer to gain admission to the jail where the woman was confined. Twelve men were the semblance of the law all right, but they were not the real thing. The woman was charged with having killed a white man by shooting him. Just a common, almost everyday crime, it had not noted, told of the mob's arrival to come to the front. But happily the mob is losing its hold, and in a few more years it promises to be a thing of the past, at least, as a civil habit. It begins to look as if the Democratic party does not mean to do all it could do to the Negroes. The attempt of Vardaman and Borah to read the Negroes out of the Constitution met with no response worthy of mention. This is as it should be. The Negroes are citizens. What it cost to put them in the Constitution, we dare say, will not be considered lightly. The cost was not in vain, and we think that the good saving sense of the country will see it that way. The probable confirmation of Judge Terrell of the district court of Washington is more evidence that administration is not entrusted against the Negroes. Many appointments are not expected under the circumstances. A few appointments will keep alive the principle that the government has the best interest of all of the citizens at heart. President Wilson won his contention in the Panama canal controversy in the House of Representatives by a splendid vote. That body passed the repeal measure by a majority of 86, the vote being 247 for and 161 against. The victory, while ascribed to the President, is not strictly that way. The foremost men of the country, Republicans especially, long since spoke of the exemption of our ships from the common toll, saying that it was contrary to the terms of the treaty bearing the leaders of thought saw it and to which class he belongs. These men refused to entertain the idea of proprietorship of the canal to the extent that would seem warranted owing to the fact it was our money that built the canal. More than that was involved. The acquirement of the strip and the beginning of the work were not without international consideration. This is real because we entered into agreements by treaty. More than one treaty was made in order to simplify matters. The leaders of thought insisted that the stipulations of the treaty be carried out as it be intended, and that the measure that jeopardized the nation's standing has been struck from the laws of the country by the lower branch of Congress. WHO IS GEN. VILLA? Humor is persistent that Villa is a Negro, a United States Negro. Frederick Inman Monsen, the explorer, thinks that Gen. Panco Villa, the Mexican constitutional leader in Mexico, is a Negro. Recently he said: I have known Villa personally for 15 months. Villa is a man of dominating personality, with the eyes of a born dictator, with the voice of a veing, and I am certain that he has had military training somewhere. The New York Sun thinks it not improbable that Villa is a Negro. That publication had this to say: Two soldiers of the Tenth cavalry, a crack Negro regiment, have declared themselves trooper, and the story is not inherently improbable. The officers of the Tenth are splendid disciplinarians and Villa's energy, alertness, methodical habits of work and familiarity with the tails are unusual in a Mexican. The man has great natural ability, and he handles his army of raw volunteers grounded in the school of the soldier. Says the New York Age: The man is said to have been born in this country and to have served under the name of George Goldsby as a military, although most of his life has been passed in Mexico. Men claiming to have been with him in the regiment say they have seen him recently and with him of his army experiences. Now, who is Villa? He is creating quite a stir all right. And it is said that our race will stir up things even when it reaches the blissful abode. WILL THE RAILROAD OFFICIALS DO WHAT THEY SAY? Jas. B. Dudley, the North Carolina educator, does not think very much of the promises of the railroad officials as they concern the facilities in the coaches set aside for the Negroes. He says that the railroads will never comply with the law until made to do so. Mr. Dudley's observation, doubtless, leads him to such a conclusion. He may be right, yet there is no reason why we should not give the officials opportunity to make good in the instance. Up until the time Dr. Booker T. Washington called attention to the condition no general demand had been made for the change. The desultory "firing" of our newspapers is not always noted. We are likely to think so when the fact is, that: those whom you must reach know nothing of our cause. These busy men do not take notice of our publications. We are giving the officials the benefit of the doubt. We prefer to put this charitable construction forward in view of those kindly letters received by Dr. Washington. We would not like to think that after those fine expressions, almost unanimous expression, to the end that the matter would be looked into and abuses corrected, by the railroad officials, that they have no intentions in mind to do so. Then, too, we should take into account the educator of Tuskegee, to whom the letters of the of the official were respected by the white people generally, nor do we think the railroad officials are expentions. We have long since commented on the kindly expressions of the officials. Those who have read these letters must admit that they, as a whole, were humane, considerate and satisfactory in view of the racial relations. Justice in its fullest sense would mean no temporizing, no compromising; it would mean the total abolition of the separate coach business. But the very spirit that has brought about the separate coaches has caused the delay in the enforcement of the general, generous response on the part of the officials is clearly a race gain, and should be thus set down. The law of compulsion as it concerns us has not been what it might be. Our civil rights laws in 'the states mean nothing very much. Hotels and restaurants and theatres by one subterfuge or another are shutting out most effectually the would-be Negro patronage. Public opinion precedes the law; public opinion needs it, without it the law, if important, owing to its operation, will not be very effective. We mean that we prefer to see the railroad men take the step of their own initiative. As to what the officials will do, of course remains to be seen. For our part we will not think lightly of what they have said. We do not feel to discredit them, doubting them in the very index. The compelling power is all right in a way; it should always stand an individual or a people as a thing of the last resort, yet if the compelling power was all that it should be we would not have this question to worry us. True enough, we have waited long for a change for the better, but it may be that we have not gone about the thing in the right way. If all laws were obeyed our court houses would not be nearly so busy as they are. We naturally conclude that it is one thing to make laws and another thing to obey them, especially where there's no disposition to obey them. Corporations do not take kindly to some kinds of expenses. Added to this is the fact that we are a people who are citizens at a discount and there you are. It's a rather hard expression, but none truer. Everything discriminates, all first class concerns? This means discount of fees. Railroad companies feel as free to take their time and do as they please as other concerns. We mean that the law of compulsion is anything except that, as it concerns us. Knowing what we do, the letters of the officials to Dr. Booker T. Washington were something of a victory—yes, a victory to win our very own. They promised what has not ruled. Even those Kentucky cases where three companies were wrested in court came about after the expressions of the railroad men. We will await the action of the officials before we concludes that they were merely acquainted. We see no reason they should not make good their word. It is not a difficult thing to fit up coaches adequately—no more so for Negroes than white persons. We will see what we will see. DALLAS, TEXAS.

The Crown Garden is still the house keeping with the best that has been kept. Morton & Wilson. Morton & Wilson are a pair of high class performers. Their business all through is bright and attractive. They love the Garden. Morton has won a reputation as a capable performer the country over. Miss Wilson is one of the good guys in the Garden.

They close with the delightful wardrobes and wardrobes are splendid. Miss Wilson is one of the prettiest women of the stage. Princess Sotanki, Hindoo Magician.

Princess Ankrit does not and of ambiguous work when she is in the garden or the air—the levitation scene. Her work as a whole is about the same as that by many of the big magicians. She succeeds in deluding, that's her greatest challenge. Garden before when she gave satisfaction as she does this time. Glenn & Brogsdale, Comedians. When Glenn & Brogsdale are out something is doing every minute. The team is a good order, consisting of a good order, consisting of talk that is of the continuous story order, rather than the discrete story order, and replies—repetite.

Fannie Wise, that delightful singer, is recovered to the stage to where she was bought to have been lost. She was bought to have been lost, unanticipated, however, but it was a case for the best. She says that her heart is set on another work, and which she presents. She appeared in three splendid song numbers, beautiful songs she was right there.

Mr. Walter Johnson entertained his friend, Mr. Harry Murray, and orchestra hastily formed from the many musicians who are members of this club and music and a funchon made the a termo enjoyable. Mr. Massingal left the club, Ohio, Alpha Theatre Sunday. It is rumped Mr. John Dancer, former merger and saloon keeper, has branched out to serve as a service agent. It is stated he took an important part in a sensational arrest last week, which the name of a personal friend of was mentioned. We wish him success. After taking a course of treatment Mr. Olive Dempsey, the pioneer in theatrical Negroes, returned to Cleveland Saturday. Mr. Pearl Howell, who is known as "Indie," met the Freeman and showed his friends the journal by extending every courtesy necessary to complete a friendly relation that may mean something. Mr. Howell is a friend of his crew that make leaders. He is well liked and many declare him mayor of 5th street. It is whispered that Dud Finley is a fond member of midnight auto ride. Be careful. Mr. B. Klein, who keeps a retreat for gentlemen at 6th and Smith street, beckons you to join him. Gentlemen of color are welcome to spend their idle hours. He says he can say that Buzzin Burton forget his obligation to the Freeman here. Let us hear from you, Burton. Attorney Jackson and Mr. Ollie Dempasse are talking about a good meal together. "Whatever," he says. The Pekin. The proprietor of this lovely little show house was all smiles as he watched the children play and the pioneer palace of amusement as seats are at a premium on Monday and the evening. The presence of the big fellow gave assurance that we are not to be deserted for a new enterprise in another city, and after the evening we hold back the surprise the following Goodbard and Lewis—This act opened lively with a good song that took at once, if drolery that brought laughs. Miss Lies accepting his remarks with grace. Then Mr. Goodbard rendered a creditable solo performance, turned with a neat buck dance. She is some dancer and very pretty. They closed with a song, getting the hands. Goodbard turned with a smile. Goodness. Then the single of Ray Baller. She is clever actress. Her character of a lonely-some country girl was done so well she was brought back. Miss Baller's other song was very strong. She will be a favorite here. Sellman and Jackson came in the usual number of double acts with a song and can be seen in a good looking brown. They close with "All Night Long" in a form it was not written in and it makes a decided hit. Another The Lincoln. This massive house of Thespia heralded a feature entertainment and the result was a waiting throng of expectants who had been invited to the Theatre and Thompson, who opened the Ruby Theatre, Louisville. Tonight our only soace is that we have Walker and Lorraine theatrical performers, a time fit and Brown had missed his telephone we were introduced to Montgomery and Johnson. Miss Johnson opened the theater, Sands the Descend. She sings well. The act opens in the nary—after song short talk, then he goes into some clever bauk dancing. They finish in a cage,ango. They miss the product the Mr. Brooks and Gale. Lorraine and Walker, in an comparable sister act, do a neat song and dance. Miss Lorraine introduces a French song and dance. Pinkie comes on with chicken reel, bringing us her whirlwind dance. It goes over. Marjorie returns. Pinkie joins. They finish dancing. Well costumed. They are great. The Stock. "Darktown School Days," with J. C. Piedgreen as teacher, George Taylor as Professor and Lillie Thornton, of the Thornton Sisters, as new faces. Miss "Sister," is a somewhat good. Mr. Taylor was next to make good with the chorus behind him. Trixy and inky are still favorites and, of course, Cliff Ross done the comedy and kept things in an uproar company. Another screaming act. Dainty little Theresa Burroughs and the two little fellows, Gaston and Jackson, left the city for Pittsburgh to play week of the 30th. Piedgreen opened his act here the last half at the Lincoln Theatre, and in my opinion did well. His act is full of comedy and he gets a great deal out of his three instruments. His character is a tramp. The audience heavily applauds him, he left the stage. Mr. Harper, who runs the Crescent Studio, is preparing to handle theatrical photography. Mr. Ralph Hawkins is an old school friend of the Freemale reported. They met at 10 a.m., yesterday Mr. Hawkins is United States Court. Messenger and son-in-law to Hon. Geo. Hays.

Miss Lew- son quite a contrast to her tall comedian. Their act runs 15 minutes and gets her a facial expression. She can be easily declared a feature act. S. C. SHEFFIELD, ALA.

Thanks, Gentlemen, Jas. Austin, one of the oldest pianists in New York City, died in Kingsport, where James was one of the pioneers with John C. Seville, the late Isaac W.

Miss Ora Criswell, of Criswell and Bendon, will undergo a treatment for her eyes, forcing this clever team to cancel all engagements or for the coming week. This is the only time she shows the at the Lafayette from its inception. Emmett Anthony can certainly knock out a colored audience, but some of that funny stuff in spots like the show at the Lafayette is requirements of the law. But I imagine Emmett thinks what's good enough for "Klam" is good enough for us: A bad idea.

Keith, one of the largest theatrical magnates, died at Palm Beach Fla. where he has been sick for more than a year. He first vaudeville managers to recognize the ability of the colored performer and for years has employed many colorful men to play his many roles. His death has been memoned by the entire profession. Denton's Black & Tan Comedy Company was certainly busy rehearsing last week and left Monday morning for parts unknown. Proctor certainly knew how to play anybody as far as I can see and certainly get away with it faster than anybody, in the company business, "he's in the company business," the company numbers 25 people, band and orchestra. Such men as Strozzler of Boston, Mass., should stop going around beatings colored men out of his real home, to regale off the same color men have furnished light and fuel for a gang of (I will say at this writing) men near enough to a stage to drive one way down home. Gentlemen, there is no class to that. Now think it over. The latest in color in decorated theatricals is Mr. Frank Hammond, manager of the Wells Ga., is angling for the Wells House, "The Orpheum," which has been dark for a couple of seasons, he claims, as the stage manager. His stock burlesque now at the Columbia there, and try a negro burlesque show for negroes only. Mr. Hammond surely has an eye to business.

LOUIS THEATRICAL NOTES. (By Herbert T. Meadows.) There is plenty of talent showing at the Booker Washington Theater this week, with the account of the scarcity of that snag and ginger so essential to the success of a vaudeville performance. *Ross Jordan* was a very sweet and clever playwright and renders three numbers very effectively. Her humming specialty is particularly delightful. *Miss and Willis* have a good line of humorous talk. Miss Willis has a remarkably strong voice, good singing and clever applause. Watts does some good dancing and scores with his eccentric comedy. *Crosby and Neoma* have a good singing and merrier with their rapid-fire dialogue. *Crosby and Warfield* open with a clever dance pantomime accompanying the song "Gambling Man." Cumby shows to advantage in this, as the character song, *Warfield Man*, Watts well singing "Brown Skin." They close with a novel-buck dancing specialty that is artistic and registered a storm of applause. Mr. Turpain has installed twenty fans for the summer season, and the Booker Washington play is a cucumber during the hot nights. EASTERN THEATRICAL NEWS. (Ex. Billy E. Jones.)

NOTES FROM WOLFSCALE'S BAND Now Playing at Madison Square Garden, New York City, with Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth. Prof. James Wolfscale and his concert band of thirty-two pieces opened their season at Madison Square Garden with Barnum and Bailey and are one of the features of the big new spectacle, "The Wizard Prince of Arabia," supporting the film by blossom clans, and taking Professor Wolfscale and his full band march out on the big spectacle part in the finale of the big ballet dance, spectacle stage and the "The Greatest Fellow's Musics" March," for the parade of the many freaks, headed by Princess Wee Wee, the little colored doll lady, the smallest woman in the world. Also there are sixty genuine Samolians from British and British and British children in the grade. This stupendous spectacle was written and produced by Mr. Alf T. Ringling and is said by press and public to be the greatest production of its kind Prof. Wolfscale and its members of his band are enjoying the best of health. Prof. Wolfscale sends best regards to Prof. James Harris, Pop Adams, and Johnson. Earl Terry sends regards to GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TRE, PHILADELPHIA. Miss Alice Gorgas was the headliner this week. Miss Gorgas looked well, just like me well with song well, just like me well with mission would be likely to sing. But all of her many abilities and attract that "something" by which she makes a song contagious. One is not startled when a singer or comedienne succeeds in singing that song now-a-days is doing with great frequency and to the occasional irritation of multitudinous ear-drums. But it was at least too much when a poorly man at my left, aftereer listening talerently to the first verse of her song "gaga" by Alice Gorgas comedied humming on the second second and made himself conspicuous. She had not only "put the song over" but also "put the vocal chords of those who showed this violent and totally unexpected interest in the situation of the beholder" by the result, not everybody was humming this popular song. When the public becomes deepened, subjected to case problem or situation or the result, case problem or situation of said case problem or situation, is but a matter of days. And for Alice Gorgas singing "Have a Heart," at Glison's New Standard Theatre, you then realize, as she swings along the footlight dotted foyer of her scene and join me meander that has bulged the pockets of many song-birds for a long long time, is the reason why she and join me meander that has trip south with the negro players. The two sweets have accumulated a large number of musicians and dance well. The Miss Odium and Woods gave a varied entertainment including dancing and dinging. Joe Sandiffer bus put in a large number of time relish. There is merit in the work of the Kandy Kids and they Commandment, a dramatic sketch engaging the services of six persons and starring Joe Bright, as Ralph Russell, a title of the underworld, was one well acted numbers on the bill and was well received. Negro musicians and the audience applauded heartily after every scene, and after the show surrounded Manager Gibson's private audience to give them the best. WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H.

Their work is clean, classy, up to date in every relation, and they are the latest style, and they don't fall to change. Miss Bailey is one of the sweetest singers that has been heard here in years (and we have some of the best singers) and has simply set the people wild with "Havana" and "Sweet Memories". Mr. LaJoy is too many for us. He is both together and opposite when he should be, and he does dance "some", and taking them together might make him a great singer. Miss Bessie Anderson is also here and is making a tremendous hit as a coon shouter, and she is "Doing it all alone", so that is saying a song in a way that makes the song go over, and knows just how to get an encore. One of her features is a combo back with "International Rag" and "Balling the Jack" and she dances a little herself. Mr. Anmer (Peattie the band) is single on the bill that did real well, and she just what the people wanted, but nevertheless he is good, you know.

(By Jull Jones, Jr.) I have been asked by no less than twenty different people in the last six years that are deeply interested in uplifting of the colored girl on the side of this creation which is not hard to answer, but not so broad that one can not answer without hurting the poor colored showman's tender feelings. Yet the truth must be some time. The reason will run into the end. First, no colored girl has been pushed that had enough reasonable sense to keep her head and respect her benefactor long enough to reach the second round in the ladder to the slight fame to make an artistic drama, and the takes looks, grace, culture, cosmopolitanity, and the good department on and off the stage. That's the first principle. A star must have some real stage abilised to bring to work. A colored girl will have the times the trouble a white girl would have to reach the top of course at the present time and for a long time to come, no word to say. I have a chance to show her talent for the time of her chance in shows and vaudeville, as proven themselves the most ungrateful set that could be presented to the amusement public. There's not one of the same very woman that amounted to any time to show down their maker or pusher in the long time. On the other hand the bosses ards. The finish they pointed out to be so and so wife what she used to be. The regular plan was to be made to the limit was reached. There's a much difference from the management that of a white and other company that of a white. A white manager buys a play, engages a producer. They go over a play, and the time of the field of actors that are worthy of playing parts, engage their talent. No one knows or cares who's playing with them. The first time too, it's too smart, it's the first part until the first rehearsal is called. Every one works his best. It's one's short and well are pushed. That's what he's a great part of the bigest success in the world. The most difficult is to go out and take it in. It's nobody's. The coloured man runs his show different. With no exception up and down, he was a good man. John W. Isham. The first thing the past manager did was to hire his comedian then let the comedian pick a cigar and put a cigar on theல். He was a woman or man had if the comedian did not like them or thought they might make a big hit they had to change. The capital of the comedian would pick out some one to write the play just as the come-up was the one that the company has to do with their names of the program. Would use the excuse of the only one exception, that Geo. M. Co-excuse, Geo. M. Cohan is a playwriter. Writes plays that any one of the production or management of the company is the same part in it which needs remodeling; there has to be an all-night con-play which is the one that it gets to be the consent to better the show. It is swer is, today there's not a colored show on the road that's playing big time. Not the woman is a play for a car, the vaudeville field they killed themselves, the men walking off the stage and flirting with women and their cost. The kind of the man who has a key themselves by bad deportment. Today it's a question if there's one coloured man who has a key business that could get twenty weeks before the show. It's a pretty big assertion but will have to be shown. The first thing we do not know is the case. The first thing we're limited for colored big companies. Have opened in Chicago a few years ago: one of the biggest companies ever organ-during, the show has been the two stars of the show. The show has looked up to Queen of Shelf's Joan of Arc might have been great helps and leaders, but that was a house of the world. The show was a house of the world. There has not been colored women in stars in pointing out some of the many short comings of the colored women. The show has been the most often, the most point. Some will readily point on the man. White women who have raised will with a shady regal. That has been the case plenty of times in this country and Eurone. Those are the most good things. There's a good world.

Address UNIVERSAL NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS SHORTING WORLD ALL THE LOCAL NEWS TIME ACCURATE UP TO THE MINUTE ALL ABOUT BOB FITZSIMMONS The Old Warrior and His Son in Indianapolis Last Week—Makes a Fine Speech—Pleasae Audience in a Three-round Exhibition Bout With (By Billy Lewis.) EX-Champion heavyweight, Bob Popularity among his as to popularity among the bunch. Most talked of among him. John L. Sullivan, perhaps, enjoys the greatest popularity without seem to push him. When seen the spotlight through his opinions seen in the newspapers time to time. His letters and articles and judgment, are proof that he is "Gentleman" when it is always worth listen to. Jim Jeffries don't seem to about notoriety, took considerable impulse in his life although up until the ratiat he had a clean bill as the greatest of them all. He came near being Fitzsimons himself and of poetry his failure was lamentable. His legatee Burns, has not drawn as much water as the others. Fitzsimons himself is the author of the American peopler. In the first place his appearances in America and his winning fight spectacular, the theatrical. In the grand old man, his brain and art. One has only to hear him speak, to hear his beautiful colorature, his velenemance, when his smile was carefully conned and as a college athlete. I have mentioned this before. One of the publications said that he made a carefully prepared study of Cornishman and has resided there. Fitzsimons pushes his talent a little, and in this respect he is not different to all of those that have been blessed with a similar talent. I would rather hear him speak to see him "fence." His life in review, some came to see His life in review, some came to see. They cheered his maneuvers quite lustily; That he did come to a nicety. But for me, Ah! for me, That soulful speech of dexterity. Had pleasure of laying eyes on the man he hearted Fitzsimons—as I have before referred to him. This because he has strengthened, bucked off York and been declared to fight. Only this week the commission finally decided against New York. March 27—The Appellate division of the Supreme Court today affirmed the order of the lower court which is offered to book in public in New York state. Because of his advanced age the State Athletic Commission ruled that Fitzsimons should Once a man, twice a child is what one naturally concludes after that decision. None of us think any too well of Fitzsimmons' ability to be more but less than one of them, the forbids effort. Well, I guess it goes along with some of those rulings where, true stores are forbidden, the sale of certain drugs. It looks as if a man might buy what he wants just so long as to be a man, to give it to another man. For my part I am nothing with the ruling. If a man chooses to fight, within the law, until he is a hundred, it ought to concern him alone. Fitzsimmons said in his speech that he would have to come of the present crop of "white hopes". His declaration was made because of the bad showing the effort to redeem the title. He was preparing to back up his assertion when I do! He is "enjoined" by the commission. When told of his deparment from New York prize rings by the decision of the high court of New York, Fitzsimmons was not greatly surprised. Boxing has been my first choice in a show in New York in the fact that the name is legitimate in New York; it is trying to cheat me out of a living," said Bob. "They can bar me, but I can still fight and will take God Jr. to England in six months and I'll show them what this old man can." Perhaps the commission has really seen the veteran fighter a service. At any rate his cake is dough in this country. The ex-champion's hope is in his son, whose appearance on the stage signal for considerable improvement up in the bus, just as much as David was wrapped up in Absolom or Hector in Diatapax. We have no records of him or him his son has so solitary doing anything like what brought their forbears fame. The young man who is all that is for him is him, and his son has to talk calmly. He is a human droughtaught as to build all right, but he may prove too massive, ponderous, taking the ability east to the west, the ability south to the west, this must be the endowment of the spirit. The boy who is only 18 was referred to as busky in one of the stories, but he was sluggish. He certainly did not show the tiger like agility that was expected. There is plenty of him, but the distribution does not impress one This may have been because he did not care to bruise up his old man, but he was not careful, and times, but he seemed rather careful, one does not get an observation free of prejudice because of this carefulness. He was not like a thunderbolt, even if he looks a little slow. If he can take on the science he will do about what his father claims for him. Darrell Parkington, a sport writer, of campailles, has this to say: "He was famous 'Buby Bob' of pugilistic fame, who was king pin of the heavyweights in the world, and was yesterday for a week's engagement at the Majestic Theater. Lanky Bob is an interesting old man of the ring, and he is always in love with Robert Fitzsimmons, former, Duplex, N. J. The former champion is strung up for style, and chose the Seymour as his place of abode while in the city." The veteran, who at one time mooscolled middle-weight, light heavyweight "White Hope" - Bob Fitzsimons Jr., an 18-year-old son whom old Fitz believes is deserved - re-establish the famous name of Fitzsimons Jr. Fitz is enthusiastic over the youngest. So enthusiastic, in fact, that he loves the boy will be able to whip any boy in his room. He's got the old stuff, says Bob, "and there'll be another amazing heading the heavyweight gain." He might be older. The youngest but also different lines than his famous dad. He large legs, a pair of sturdy arms and a chest. He can hardly be said that the boy could be gained of the ability which made Bob Fitzsimons Sr. the best of all fighters. The little could be gained of the youngest, giving generalship in the three tame animals which he boxed with his dad. If which he shot into his dad's face, even if he would not know until he gets into actual warfare what he can do. One of the daily publications had this to say: Fitzsimons, former heavyweight champion of the world, opened a works gym a week earlier, accompanied by his father, who is said to be one of the prominent white hopes of the country. Lanky Cornishman, opened his aces with monologue that showed careful preparation and closed it by boxing three enthusiastically received yesterday, insist fraternity and the sporting public in general, but the main interest was in his much-advertised son. Bob, JR., certainly has the build necessary for a good white hope, he appears at fat and slow, although he did not to best adrangement in his sparring. his father, seeming to be afraid to hit the older man. In his monologue, the former champ says his son in only the third round never received a boxing lesson in his life, but that before long, the boy will have to conquer the away-wight weightfighters of the World. The will have to show a lot of improvement over his present form before he can fight. The will be likely to suffer the same fate that other white hopes have who have Fighting in his advance advertising younger son would hardly be a match for Jack Dillen. But it will initiate into the order of the Buffaloes at the regular weekly "wallow" cell B. Harrison conferred the degree. SPORT MELANGE FROM ALL PARTS. Served Up for the Benefit of the Cult. Sam Langford and Kid Cotton will do a battle of eight rounds at Chattanooga, Tenn., April 15. Kid Fields, of Indianapolis, wishes it was that the fight in the featherweight division be the first business. He is willing to meet all comers in his class. Sam Langford of Boston defeated Jim Johnson of Philadelphia in a ten-round match that lifted Langford weighed 200 pounds, twenty-six lighter than his opponent, but outpointed Johnson in eight of the round. Johnson was a good fighter and held Langford even in the fourth. Langford showed the stories that he has gone back to a mere shadow of his former self is disproved. He seemed a great deal more than a destroyer of a year or a two back. # baseball players: Speaker $18,000 Mathewson 17,500 Evers 15,000 Cobb 15,000 M.

Nowadays we can't drink and get away with it as he could once. The workman or clerk who drinks is not workman, no pulverizer is not an instructor, some of the stuff myself, but I quit it just nine years ago.

Kid Fields Says That He Is--Young George Dixon Says "He" Don't Say. Dear Sir—Observing Mr. Fields' advertisement in last week's Freeman, I feel it my duty to extend to you the fact that I am quite interested in the story and don't have the right to join him in full effort which is colored a champion featherweight, when he has failed to defeat such men as Billy McClure and One Round Boss. The about men, the boys have both made rapid strides and it looks as if both of them are bidding strong for a place among the top notchers, and I believe Bess to be the better of the title. I view the fact that Bess defeated McClure and the latter beat Fields. Then where does his claim come from? I have just returned from New Orleans La. where was to have, and I am on the Goldman in lightweight. Johnson, the New Yorker has under his management. This Leo Johnson is a big favorite there on account of his ten round battle with Johnny Love. While he lost his mission he� never had for his ability to stay the limit with the experienced Love. Then too, we must not overlook the fact that this same Johnson defeated Johnny Dundee, the Italian, which made him much more among the lightweights as Azeda, White, and Freddie Welsh. This boy has met one champion and that was Abe Attel, some time ago, whom he was defeated by an in-round work. Even down there's full of confidence and hope that would ```markdown ``` best this lad. Though a bit ill I expected that I would have easily recuperated before the date of the scrap training hard before the hot weather. I felt worse as the time would progress, then hurt my left hand down there before training hard. I show. Mr. Goldman was somewhat disappointed over the outcome of this position to carry on plans. I am not at myself now and don't know how to deal with it. Physician advises me to rest for ten days anyway before I undertake the hard grind of training, then I hope to play football. Field. Bess, Johnson, Preston Brown, Bill McClure and Kid Sylvester or any other feather highlight in football have grown in New Orleans in young Joe Gans. This boy has shown wonderful in bouts with Bubba Robinson, Leo Johnson, couple boys. I am going to prove just who I am. I am well. Then I am sure to check the hopes of Leo Johnson before many moons. I am out for honors and will prove superior, but can ever get better. The Sound Athletic Club of Streator, will probably consider a $200.00 guarantee with two round trip tickets, as I expect to have Nate Lewis get in touch with them in day two as it certainly means a big loss to me.

JACK WATTS VISITS THE FREEMAN OFFICE Says Prof, Jack Curley is Greatest Promoter in the World. Jack Watts, the well known welterweight champion, visited the Freeman office Wednesday and was in a happy mood over his recent defeat of Jack Cooper, at Terre Haute, Ind., when he put out Cooper in the fifth round by a right cross to the point of the jaw. In speaking of the fight The Terre Haute Star said: "In the fifth round Cooper came rushing at him, but instead of covering this time he sent a straight right cross to the head and Cooper fell to the floor." In speaking of the condition of the game, the salting game becomes the salting game. Consider Joe Gaus the lightweight champion of the world.

Jeanneau outweighed the Frenchman and an unusually large crowd cheered the efforts of Carpentier, who is the idol of the French sporting public, and great disappointment was shown over his defeat.

The City's Noted Orator Speaks on Child's Rights—Mixed Crowd of Over Three Hundred Colored Men and Women Gather to Hear the Great Plea for the Future Generation at the Y. M. C. A. Last Sunday. (By Noble Sissle.) It has often been said that Abraham Lincoln was not a graceful orator, but that his skill was that of a man who was filled with inspiration that those in his presence were all but raised from their seats. Last Sunday in the distinguished Judge Orbison were constantly giving evidence of their enthusiasm by spontaneous up-turns, unusual postures and delivery and a marked sincerity that won for him the most strict attention of every one present. He told that of any statutory cause and the unanimous decision of the audience—his jury—was in his favor. After telling a humorous story that led up to his commending on the number of times he had been immediately plunged into his subject saying by way of introduction: "Patrick Henry when he insisted that the greatest clause in it that 'All people had the right to it, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' Just that, put that greatest clause in it, even the right of life, liberty and THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER the pursuit of happiness and just as the women throughout the country are demanding the right to the same, I stand at the bar of justice to plead the case of the future generation that they too may be given the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. lor of Louisa Edwards Court; re-marks, Mrs. Hanna Boggners; paper, Mrs. Julia Williams, W. C. of Couns. William S. Scott, 53; remarks, Mrs. William S. Scott, 53; remarks, Mrs. Eisle Williams spoke of the order also J. A. Yollsman, who was the first class, sober bar. Life. Under the subject of Life the speaker said that the parents of children had been in temporary surroundings to live in. Those who were in position to should provide care for them, and be heathful. "Then, too," the speaker said, "there are more children that die from neglect and unsuitary conditions that breed germs than from any other." Liberty. "Give the child liberty. Don't bind him with ignorance and disease. Every parent owes it to the child to bring him to school. Don't forget from the many diseases that come from ignorance on the parent's part. Every parent owes it to the child to teach every mother should be a chum of her daughters. The child has the right to walk, the right of the parent to step by step through life, the full story of life not to leave him or her to find it out in the cruel school of life. The child is bound by blind blundering the outcome of worldly advice. Give the child Lib- Pursuit of Happiness. "There is but one way to the road of happiness and that is God's way. Teach the child that God is real, that the life of Christ was the right life. Give them religious advice and live a pure life before them." In conclusion the natural born orator said that the child's eyes should be kept on the road of Everlasting Life and to be taught to look forward to a happy destiny. In the time of Rome's luxury there once came a queen to visit the Matron of Rome, and this queen showed all of her beautiful jewels to the Matron and then she asked to see the beautiful jewels of the Matron's, who, excessing herself, went out of the room only to return with her arms around two beautiful children. "These are my jewels," the Matron of that great Empire said. Ladies and gentlemen the children are the jewels of the world. Let next fall find you attending college at the expense of The Freeman.
