Barksdale Hamlett for Congress of the Second Congressional District—President G. P. Russell Successful After a Warm Educational Battle—The Parents and Teachers' Meeting at the Clinton Street High School—Turley's Motion Picture Photo and Cameragraph Co. "The Violet" at Lexington—Sub-Junior Class Banquet in Honor of the State Normal Resolutions—Rev. M. B. Lanier Given a Surprise. By Hardin Tolbert Publicity Bureau At 10:00 a.m. Both Pipkins 666, Box 223 Special to The Freeman Speaker, freeman RANKFOREST - Superintendent of Public Instruction and Attorney at Law Barksdale Hamlett, whose record includes outgoing from Virginia University, came to Kentucky a vigorous, scholarly, education through the central educational bureau, of which Miss Katie Edger, of Paris, was manager. He did some research while principal at Hopkinsville. He built a school. When he went into educational work, and in less than three years it now stands 15 per cent in the great educational world. Supt. Edger, was manager. He raised the educational efficiency to its greatest climax among the colored exclusively for colored schools, whose author was Mr. C. L. Timberlake, colored. He was an ardent supporter of State Normal, and was supported by the Negro State Teachers' Association, a candidate for congress in the second congressional district. Supt. Barksdale Hamlett has been impartial in all of congressional light in the Pennyroyal district and for the present regime, Dr. C. A. Tutt, colored, stumped that of the state for this administration. W. D. Page, manufacturer, 188 South Milwaukee, a record in the new discovery, 'Queen Hair Grower', which has been demon-ished. He removes dandruff and makes the hair soft and glossy, and makes kinky hair long. Many agents are in the field, and dandruff is going like hot cakes for 50 cents. President G. P. Russell, of the State Normal, after a siege of red-hot educational battle in the Kentucky legislature, occurs in the spring of each scholastic year, has returned home. The statewide bill for trustees of this institution was passed in the deep, deep seas. Through science and skill it may be raised to the shore and rebuilt. The statewide bill for learning, such as Supt. Young of Chicago, Asst. Supt. Bruce of Washington, C., and others too numerous to count, has realized how hard it is to please all the people; some must be dissatisfied with this institution was wrought with the bone and shew of this commonwealth. The Kentucky legislature settled it in 1880, and the State Teachers' Association, Supt. Hamlett and hundreds of others were ardent supporters for it, but it failed. W. Wilson, Mr. P. W. Williams and their friends saw the bill in another light, and thought it best to have a decision of the legislature. The Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute is the greatest state institution for students that dynamic constructive educational magnet at the helm, President G. P. Russell, has the largest number of students that has ever been recorded in Mr. W. N. Turley of Lexington, who met with a railroad accident, had his car broken and bruised him seriously internally. Mr. Turley received a small fortune from the company, 252 East Short street, owned by the Turley Motion Picture Photo and Cameraphone Co. He has six five machines in his office, and he will wait while you wait. It is a great pity to see a one-handed man manipulate this machine in crayon, seph, water colors, pastels, oil painting, pictures on pillow and canvas. Turley's mentions in crayon, seph, water colors, pastels, oil painting, pictures on pillow and canvas. Turley is located the second door from the Baptist church and the colored people are giving him a good patron. The Sub-Junior class at the Normal school gave a banquet in honor of the girls' dormitory. Smith's orchestra of Versailles furnished the music for dancing. Prof. Paul W. Jones sent son Jeff to work with Roy W. Carothers. This is the first time in the history of any kind of a public press representative was refused admittance except by those who feast from two jobs, steward and assistant. This kind of Negro leaders has been doing more to demoralize the young generation than any other agency under the Negro League. A preacher denounced dancing through these columns, and word came to him that he had cause against the press. The Negro press and all would have a general good, time dancing and playing cards. This is an important egotist teacher, Jones. The Hon. State Stup. Barkdale Hamlett declared some of the faculty were undoubtedly true among some. This is a state institution and free to all. No one has the right to be denied. Did the legislature do so in any of its meetings and functions? Why should there be anything so impertinent against public could not be informed of it? These columns are open to Jones or any of his friends and hold no small against him for conducting some kind of "dive" unsuitable for the press. To be continued. The Teachers Association held its March meeting in the chapel of the Clinton street high school Wednesday. The building was made with beautiful electric lamps, which made its appearance at night quite attractive as well as useful for grand success in every particular.

Jesus was a black man (or Negro) by blood. Webb's book and picture show it and prove it by the Bible. A picture 12x18 of Jesus in his hair, a pair hairs, and a black triangle, according to Biblical history. This famous picture in colors and the black tribe, according to Biblical history. The following comment is upon the same, from the Sattle, Wash., Daily Times: "The black man has his hair all over the black tribe, and the mankind was a black man, seems to be sufficient to put those who oppose the proposition upon their proof. Now that the chain of evidence presented by Mr. Webb has so far strangled that none of the doers in Biblical records have not advanced the seasonal prophecies. Now only w's Christ a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been held up through all of the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also." A New Book. Black Man the Father of Civilisation." This book defends its title exclusively by the Bible, and therefore has nothing to fear. This book is illustrated with many pictures. Price $1.00 by mail. The following comment is from the Seattle Daily Post Intelligence: "Elder J. M. Webb, Ev. galist of the Church of God, in his book describes the black man as the father of all civilization. He takes the Bible to show that the fathers of the Church and all the great leaders, even the greatest one, was black. Mr. Webb's work is able and thoughtful. What he writes, Mr. Webb writes what he believes to be true about his race and their place in Biblical history. Combination of both books and pictures for $2.00, postage prepaid.

"Negro Congresses" must prove their worth and necessity before they can be elected. He is said to be the colored press. The thinking element of the race is tired of being exploited to push along "cute little schemes" of enterprising individuals. The Wagoner American tells us that the opposing group is hoping enough in the "damilar" contest with a rival paper to get off this delightful trismus: "Work for a good, like virtue, is its own reward. It gets no other in this community." Comedian Bert Williams in a serious role. Why not? Why not? There is not in him a reason to not a more conscientious student of human nature. The jester at many events has an abler man than the King to whose devotion he has found it profitable to cater—as a means to an end. Miss Viola Sutton, who has some startling ideas on matrimony and the general relations of the sexes, says: "I am not a more co-education, co-operation—yes, even more co-query." It is cheerfully admitted that all this "co" is necessary and enjoy co-existence in this trying age. The defeat of Wife Cowan for Alderman in Chicago is charged up to the votes of colored women. The particulars are not at hand, but it is suggested carefully by the attempt to exercise the vital function of voting. Mistakes at this crucial moment may affect the whole cause of female suffrage. Salem Tutt Whitney, of the Southern Smart Set, and Sylvester Russell, of the University of Pennsylvania, have some very clever poetry these days, some of their verses have a quality that makes them a great power poem in the Literary world. They are in universities, and the reading public is waking up to their rare versatility and true worth. The eminent Counsellor of the State Department John Osset Moore, has rewritten the poem. The eminence of the poem be embarrassed thereby. If the situation become critical, however, the Negro has a number of very competent writers to serve their country again—such as Richard Theodore Greener, Rev. Euphemia Smith, and others. The black man is nothing if not patriotic. The Department of Agriculture is sending out a clarion call for Americans to raise more potatoes, to offset the loss in importations due to a plant crisis, to improve the Groves, of Edwardsville, Kansas, ready doing his full duty in this direction, as is shown by the statistics in the production of the people's basic food. He will be a towering figure at the Muskogee meeting of the National Negro Business League next August. "Says an article in The Outlook by 'A Southern White Woman," "Supremacist men mean race back from the good we hold in trust for humanity. For him who would be greatest the price of trust, men mean the price of trust. This indicates that there is yet in our midst men and women of the "superior" race to see facts as they present themselves and who possess the moral courage to tell the truth as God gives them to see the truth. " As we go along, let it not be overrogo hand leader in the Newest reiments of the United States Army is due almost solely to the active artillerymen in the Secretary of Tuskuee Institute, who possess the necessary influence with the then unshaded men of the four colonies of an executive order that colored musicians be given the preference in heading the bands of the four colonies so fuss about what he does for the race. "His methods are quiet, but none the less effective. He is a model for Afro-American youth. Study him! The mass of the Negro people must remain in the South. If they would stay in the South, they may be restricted for the time being in privilege of governing but they are not denied the inalienable right to own land, to own agriculture, as well as teaching, preaching and practicing medicine, the law, dentistry and the like, are wide open. They are scarcely able to compete along any of these lines with the whites, who are more powerful and unlons to back them up against the rivalry of the black man. The wise Negro would stay in the South and give the increased cities of the North a wide berth. T. Thomas Fortune, after a pleasant solourn at Harrisburgh, Pa., where he made the fur fly as contributing editor on the staff of the Advocate-Verdict, has returned to his peaceful side at Lawrenceville, N. J., where he "cooks up" the delightful mental nabilum offered the race by the New York Age. Mr. Fortune is the greatest editor for the Negro has produced and his powers of mind and heart are in no wise impaired by his years. In fact he is today riner in experience, broader in grasp, and more effective in the use of the weanons of the forum than ever before. He is doing the best work of his life. We would like to see Mr. Fortune syndicate a weekly letter of news and opinion that might be placed within the reach of every newsman in the land. Why not, Mr. Fortune? ORLANDO, FLORIDA, NEWS Women's Club Met at Eustle—Rev. T. H. B. Lecture Lectured and Preached Here. (By Marcellus Henderson.) Special to The Freeman: to gain we our Florida people, as well as the hundreds of courts, we were given another surprise last Sunday, when weather, conditions, suddenly changed, following brought a heavy white frost.

My commission expires Nov. 17, 1915. The Progressive party got the least conservation from the result of last Tuesday's election. Appropriating funds for the entertainment of the G. A. R. is just a little different to appropriating funds for other associations. The nine women who were candidates for the city council of Chicago went down in defeat last Tuesday. Maybe they had too many candidates for beginners. The white Y. M. C. A. of Nashville, Tenn., promises $45,000 to the colored people of that city towards their proposed Y. M. C. A. building. With such a show of generosity and kindness we may well conclude that the friends of the race are not all dead. The school teachers of Washington, D. C., have organized an association for mutual benefit. The chairman of the press committee of the organization announces that the news of the teachers will be given out by that committee. The very much wrangling about the teachers doubtless has driven them to that necessity. The colored people of Nashville, Tenn., are doing some crowing right along here. They succeeded in raising $33,000 as their share of the $100,000 for their Y. M. C. A. building. The white Y. M. C. A. of that city raised $45,000 and Julius Rosenwald gives the usual $25,000. Henry A. Boyd, as campaign manager, was assisted by Dr. J. E. Moreland, J. C. Napier and others. It was a splendid success. The colored people of Louisville, Ky., have issued a pamphlet "to the friendly white people" of that city, calling attention to an ordinance recently introduced in the city council, having as its purpose the restriction of the colored people in their residence in that city. This is that latest civil injustice-segregation. The appeal is set forth in plain, telling language which shows the aim of the ordinance. It asks the thoughtful white citizens to help defeat the ordinance which is so big with harm. It is now up to the Senate to pass the toll exemption repeal. It is thought that the members of the upper branch of Congress will make short work of the bill, passing it in accordance with the judgment of President Wilson and the House of Representatives. Messrs. Lodge, Root and that class of men long since took an advanced stand on the question. They are known to be without blias, always insisting on what is for the best interest of the country. It is not necessary to enact laws at Washington forbidding mixed marriages. The reason: The races are not marrying. There is no demand for laws of the kind. The Negroes are against amalgamation, knowing what it means. It is contrary to the spirit of the constitution. One class of citizens deserves no more to be outlawed than another. The races are moving well within their racial lines. It would needless array ten million Negroes against the government that brought such laws to pass. The result of the election held in several states last Tuesday was a poor indication of which way the political wind was blowing. If there were indications at all it tends to show that the people are doing their own thinking. They are voting accordingly as they size up the situations. There were victories for all parties and shades of belief and also defeats. The advent of the women in Chicago did not tend to simplify matters. The "wets" and "drvs" in some localities merely swapped positions. The leading political parties gained no morsel to feed their hopes. NATIONAL MARITAL LAW PRO POSED. For the good of the social serenity of our country it is to be hoped that we will have no national laws prohibiting marriage between white and Negro persons. Such a law has been proposed at Washington, and which is meant as an insult to Negroes, since they are the persons that are meant to be restrained. This species of pernicious activity is uncalled for. And if there were a demand for it, it would be much better if congressmen would use their influence to thwart it, rather than to bring it about. We, the Negroes, are in the constitution, and by its terms are just as much citizens as those who were charter members. If we were trying to enter the country, at this time, as citizens, and if it were discovered that we had unassimilable qualities, or characteristics which were not for the best interests, socially considered, such a restriction, perhaps, would not be out of place. But here we are as citizens, theoretically enjoying the common rights of citizens, consequently it will be poor and untimely legislation that seeks to make less that citizenship. The country cannot afford to be nagging at such a great body of its citizens. It is quite natural that thing will be resented. No man or set of men will stand for humiliation always. The Negroes from every quarter of the country have declared against amalgamation. That they mean it is proven by their actions. The newspapers are not filled with tales of white women fleeing the clutches of Negroes. We read of no escapades. Incidentally there are mixed marriages, and there will always be regardless of what the laws have to say. When men and women are determined to get together they will not permit the little thing of the law to keep them apart. If the races are mutually resolved to stay apart, and as they are, the purpose of the stauchest anti-mixed marriage advocates is served. More than that, the laws are not bent, inflicted, in order to reach certain classes, thus making for the ideal in government that our country set out to be, and which it wishes to maintain in the eyes of civilization. There is no demand for special legislation along this line. In view of the distinct social societie as they concern the races the congressmen and others of lawmaking bodies should feel it a relief not to be weighted with such exxotic questions. And in our opinion they, as a rule, have some such feeling when such questions confront them. We are interested in the well-being of our country no less than in the well-being of our race. We prefer to think of the men of congress being imbued with that greater political philosophy which the insistence on the integrity of the general nation. They should be no less patrols than the humblest citizen. Even prejudiced men view with alarm a great government when it bends its machinery to persecute a class. Russians are the most important that the government is careless of the interests of a part of its citizens. There are those in America who are equally as careless. While we rely on the conserving sense of the saving portion of our country, yet it is up to the race to be alive to all of these questions which in any way meance its liberty.

The very fact that they are exponents of the higher art in colored theater, but not the lower, but social favored in no Louis. Every number they offer goes big, but he are especially strong in the theater. They are tuneful melody composed by Messrs. Hunter and Mathius of this city. Their work calls for continuous adaptation to the needs of the theater to hunger for more of their style. Benton & Robinson is another team that has been working on the combination of good comedy, singing and dancing in one act is a rarity, and these boys have "got it." They have been very hardworking and brilliant. Benton is an excellent harpite and Robinson is a really funny comedian. They can please to Ray Bailey says: "I would do something, but I'm too fat." But Ray does something, and with such a vim that he really manages it. To start with she's a singer: to finish one may say, she's triste, but knows the limit. Ray wants to be the audience on one foot, so to speak, almost ready to topple over. She has a sweet voice and presents her three sisters in an Eva Tanguy style that takes.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF TWO NEGROES CAUSES A RUMOR OF MURDER ON SIXTH STREET. NEGROES LOSE PRESTIGE IN POLITICS—MR. A. LEE BEATTY MAKES DESPERATE FIGHT IN DEFENSE OF NEGRO. Two negroes seeking shelter from the cold were found dead in a cellar by pedestrians passing, smelling the odor and lying in the cellar nearly three weeks. Many theories advanced the most pedestrians, who was a rendezvous for cocaine dependency, a disagreement a fight took place which resulted in deaths. The case is not known to any who seems to hold any influence. There are leaders here but self importance prevents harmness. Ike Valentine, a white man, can really control more colored people than anyone. Nurse the negro from one day in the year till that day comes again. With his help, he tells anything? A man practically devised by a majority of colored voters in Chinchmat. Not that he did anything, but by ignoring them after amassing his wealth from their follies. Half the election day he turn out on election day because the men ed with the work do not know them until dear old "election time". Then he goes to them with a drink or a promise that they had to make goods. Leaders, you want to hold your places of residence into obscurity by Valentine's popularity use the only remedy. Let some people use it for vote on Freeman the Freeman will conduct one so it can be arranged and give $50 to any one who can get 3,000 negroes in the vote for them on Freeman coupons. A. Lee Beatty, a real lawyer, undertook to defend Joe Robinson in a case had misused the belief the defendant had misused the law under the law as stated in charges brought against him by the law officers and a federal court. The case to find guilt through prejudice to the offence charged gave a ruling against three times. Mr. Beatty contended against these so strong that a compromise was ever held the judge and suspended to save the arresting officers. Will Jett, N. Hirschman & Co., will make a trip to the Windy City to capture Dan Cupid. Aaron will be best man. Lawrence Ross made a quick run to Springfield to visit his siste, who was ill. Rob White and Joe Frank, an business together. Look for "ad." A light rain made its appearance at about opening time and a parade of men in red and white street, the storm doors being jammed and Col. Brown, with a smile on his face said "You can't keep 'em away!" Monday as any. This show followed: Washburn & Piper was the pacemakers and they made some pace. It loomed over the street. Washburn, good as ever, "stood out." Romeo had his usual good feeling. He keeps it and showed it in his work and some dancer. They are as good as ever. Bessle Walker was in fast company and showed class. She can sing and play the piano, and wait. "The fault of most acts," Well applauded on each number. This act is new in the west and will make good music, there are few better singles than this. Cumby & Warfield closed behind a hard bill and made good at once, their tombime kept the people laughing. Their dancing was good. Cumby is still funny. Warfield a good straight. The tombime be—good. A great bill at the Pekin. The Lincoln. The rain caused a rush for shelter to the Lincoln, whose large seating capacity allowed them to enjoy the fun of the week of the 8th, which was as follows: The older, two hot browns from Tennessee. They looked the part, their pretty brown faces in contrast to their dark skin and flowers was a picture. How they girls could put together an act so good and well costumed so quickly is only a matter of time. The Trickle makes a dandy boy and looks good in her knickerbockers, and Kinkie is no stronger sister act than this. Robson & White, a couple of vets of stagdom, brought us an act good and strong in the opening of "Simp & Wise" and closing with the brass. "How they did go." Robson, a strong better at Keith's, where they belong. The Stock—A peculiar thing the people here have never seen any of the girls brought us "Over the River, Charley," with a success that pleased us all, Cliff Charley, looked good in male attire, Kinkle, as Charley's Sweetie, looked the part. These, where they have seen, are a scream. This bill is great. Tom Gales, of the Lincoln, will soon revive his own show, The $ Tar Beller, and send out under his old partner, Clay Price. A rumor of Ludy Shephard's death has caused much discussion as to its truth. Maum Kate sends regards to her missing ones and says "Tidy Klunk." Pinkie and Marjorie are in Lexington. Ky. Thompson & Cross are in Lexington laying off. Both acts visiting Walker's mother. "What's the bug." Marion Brooks was all smiles yesterday. The Freeman peeped at a telegram he was reading and saw it was marked from the East. "We wonder why?" NEW YORK SHOW-SHOP NEWS. OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT FOR ARTISTS ABOUT NEW YORK—ANTHONY D. BYRD AND I. WILL PRODUCE "THE TANGO QUEEN." HARLEM'S SIGN OF SPRING—WHERE THE BIG ACTS ARE. (By Billy Ward.) How is it that a colored act to play a colored theatre has to get a note from the manager to a white agency down 5 per cent. out of the $12.00 when that same manager could give that same agency to lead an agency working on a colored booking agency working on a colored license as the white agency and only three blocks away? Are they not able to take the time to work on the theatre? Don't they need the support of the theatres that are catering to colored people? Let his press agent answer this. The outlook is at least to say, they are a young artist in and around New York City who forms takers the time and trouble to study conditions for their own betterment regarding the past that has their ranks the present condition, their cause is a forlorn hope as far as the big game is concerned.

However, the Crown Garden is keeping up is good bills. The bill this week is more than Crown Garden favorites and a new team, Smith and Mills from the East. THE WOODENS In a Cycling Novelty Act. The Woodens, Henry and Loretta are well known to the patrons of the patrons of the Garden theater. They do many startling tricks, including a quick succession. Both of them show complete mastery of their craft, giving "something is going to happen" that audiences sometimes get. They work with the audience to ensure that are done by cyclists on the big time. SAM DAVIS Monologist. Sam Davis is one of the very few gifted monologists among the colored performers. He has a happy way putting his name on the stage, and that gives him the impression of always laughing. Sam is what is sometimes called gibl of tongue. He rushes through his stuff without a break of any kind. He knows that the speed he would "tingle a shoe" something like that, but he doesn't. He carries the audience right along with Sam Davis, Monologist. him to the stopping place where all can plainly see the objection—the audience, the crowd. They get better as he continues. Davis sings a touching melody at the conclusion of his monologue, "The rain is pouring down," and faintly "All." This song is not new, but it is valued because of the sentiment. The melody is in keeping, also the voice of the Davis puts on "Bellieve Me, I've Got It," he brings down the house. In fact, he has a string of stunts that makes him a favorite wherever he goes. SMITH AND MILLS Classy Soubrette and the Dancing Demon. Annette Smith and Boe Mills are an Eastern team. They do a good line of work from start to finish. Miss Smith works with the girls, who take pride in putting over her work in a neat, classy way. Her wardrobe is abundant and good. Her wardrobe includes a breezy number, "Don't Stop," after which they do a line of entertaining talk, Miss Smith doing straight to Mills' comical work. She is a very spoety dancer, where she shows dearness as a foot artist, "Naughty Melody" is a song number sung with a vocalist. Their "Come On, Kate" is a pretty two-part song; both show up to advantage. The burlesque drama is something new to Crow Garden patrons. They were on the Dummy Dance, another new stunt. Mills does this with a big female dummy partner, who is the moment the Dummy Dance, another new stunt. Mills does this with a big female dummy partner, who is the moment the Dummy Dance, another SELLMON AND JACKSON Entertainers. William Sellom and Eva Davis are a good pair of entertainers. Taking the name of the band will be hard to beat. In the first place Sellom is a comedian without half trying to be funny and then he beams in the Sands of the Sands of the Cold," as no one else can sing it. Some more satisfactorily, artistically but, none more satisfactorily. Miss Davis is ideal as a rag-time singer. She is a great international Rag" is a splendid number. Miss Davis does the Junkman's Rag in good style. The Big Band number in keeping with their work. NOTES FROM A. RABBITFOOT CO. (By Freddie Pratt.) With our banners dying and crowned with victory and success, the big show the Mississippi river for the first cross the Mississippi river for the first der its new management, and from all indications we are expecting great success.

He had a good time with the man who had a White and Walker first winners; White & Alexander and Mahone & Eljah were the best. The list, and J. "Barrett" managed. The white tangos had Stern & Stapleton, first winners; Oakley & Klengeton, second show winners; Frank and S. & Kelly, Fleck Collins and the other two. Others must be careful about head back summer salts, which are apt to give women a strain. Tumbling the men and making dances too long is not a problem but the work of the group. Even the other two hard. Large crowds were the rule last Tuesday and Friday. Montgomery & McClain at the New Monogram. That Frank Montgomery fully sustained his big time reputation was easily demonstrated last Monday evening when he made the house roar with laughter and ring with applause. Miss McClain, a colored strawberry blonde, is clever too, especially in male attire. She sang well and their bathing suit finish was a walkover. LaBelle Glenn made her reappearance in another good repertoire and fully sustained her past reputation as a sweet voice singer. Brown & Lawson, another big time act with a good comedian, also took rank and Ramsey & Brown, who sing too slow, were good in child characters. Dorsey's orchestra was better than ever and George Smith, the trap drummer sustained Miss McClain's song nicely on the xylophone. The tango managed by Harry C. Jenkins, had Brown & Brown easy winners, White & White and Mahone & Slas. A Review of the Monogram. The contrast between the show at the new house and this house indicates that there is a screw loose in the Consolidated O. K. bookstore, the same amount for their dine at the old house as they get from the new, and the same amount for furnish this went is to play some of the real actors over again for a second week rather than have new cheap actors like the more fierior white acts, for an all colored audience, when there are so many good colored actors like on State Street. To have them at the highest price possible, the bill included three colored teams and the cost of the tango winner had at the highest price possible. The bill included three colored teams and the cost of the tango winner be nice to play the tango winner from the other house for Saturday nights.

Mrs. Nels Rogers now has her dress-making establishment in her new flat, second at 3849 State St. Douglass 7786.

There was a mistake in my Monogram review last week. Emory & Williams, who were only fair got the benefit of Annette & Boe Mills press notice. The notice should have read: Smith & Mills was another good team. The comedian is an excellent dancer and the actress is pretty. Joe Byrd's songs that were used by String Beans he says were pirated by Beans and introduced in Chicago. Byrd is the original author of the songs he sang and some of his monologue was also stolen. Jack Mitchell and Happy Bill Briggs (not the original Billy) including Anna Ives, dancer and Rosetta Maybury, singer, are now on a minstrel tour in Illinois. Miss Mae Cosby, the talented pianist, contributes an Easter poem to our readers, respectively submitted on its merits. FASTER Easter, what glorious messure it brings Who died to save us from our sins; Twas Easter he rose to live again. So again the Easter bells we hear, Sounding through the land far and near Reminding us of our Saviour Christ, Who for us his life did sacrifice. To our memory it brings the story old Which we now so love to hear it told How the angels rolled the stone away, So our Saviour Christ might live to day. Who could help hallowing this Easter pray? Just think of the debts our Saviour did pay, Let the poor impress more strongly and firm. MANY STAR PERFORMERS JOIN YOUNG BROS.' SHOWS.

En Route, Danville, Va., April 9, 1914. My Dear Mr. Knox: I note in the advertisement of one Charles Collier for people for "Collier's Smart Set. No doubt you are fully aware of the difficulty which, through the excellency of its performers in the last seven years in the source for itself a republic fully satisfactory to its managers and company. Whether this employment of a staff member of misdealing a gullible public or is an evidence of lack of originality in the subject of considerable doubt. However for what reason the title is used it shows considerable lack of understaffing and lack of moral action in promotion of a company on the reputation of the company used by another for over twelve years. Joe Norton writes from Cuthbert, Ga. The show has just left Florida, now in Georgia, the peach state. All are well except Mr. Slim Jones, our eight-foot comedian. We are showing to over-average good houses. The weather is hot, and boys are resting up from their good times in Florida. The show is run by a man who works hard which naturally makes the show good. The people down here are wild about the "Memphis Blues" and by Miller and Fisher in their musical act. King Phillips says Fred Kewley write and sends regards to hear from George Coleman. John Verdin would like very much to hear from Boy Harris. Mr. Mose McQuitty, our bandmate, heard from Mr. McCannon, bandmaster sends regards to Tutt Whitney, Miss Ethel Marshall, Fred Richardson and P. G. Marshall. He sends regards to Miss Leah Clarke, WolfScales bunch and Miss Siberia Collins. Press and public say our concert band is the thing.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ACCEPT THE LOCAL NEWS TERMS ACCORDING TO 2013 THE FINALITE THE JOHNSON-MORAN FIGHT MAY NOT BE A GO Some of the Wise Ones Are Saying So — Whereas the Wise Ones Are Hopeful — Million Dollar Punch. (By Billy Lewis.) If Johnson succeeds in getting his phalanges on that $35,000 it will be well that he can do it. It is plain enough that this time to see that the objection is not only to cush him of his little, but to cush his new environment, it is not so hard on the champion as it appears in newspapers on this side, here he scarcely gets a kind expression. However, his championship has been indented in spite of the fact that it resumes it from him. The story has been told of how he laid himself liable. He tried to attack them from this side, pursuing them like huntsmen pursued the deer, so it is said. There seems to be nothing more important to the late man, the "white wife"'s hands on day of the fight. I say white wife, the words used. I say husband. I judge how the rankleers deep yet. When Johnson went to Paris nothing was thought of his intermarriage. It may be now that his new countrymen have gone to think about him, as only on the information seen in our daily publications here they have gone to thinking about him, so far as they authorities think sending Johnson out of the country as desirable citizen. Perhaps the French authorities have nothing like deporting Johnson in mind. But the champion has not had plain sailing at all times since he has been in France, the cowardice of our own people, it is reasonable to think, would prefer to see the French president list. England would see headharder Wells at the head of the list, thus making for a doubled success in nationality viewing the whites and blacks two great race divisions. But such a paint the situation it will not be believed that it is anything like it on this side; nothing like our racial It would take years of a similar education to make for a side on the side. The great civil play is the Hamlet that out of the play. It can never enter it on the European side, consonant with the thing of races we see it we see it. We had the war; now we have its entail. It is the philosopher inoculating has been done, and something has resulted first-handed owing to the experience gained in the American colonies and not a little from actual colonies. and not a little from actual colonies. He will have to guard his fortune with the utmost care. The $35,000, the $5,000, can well hold him up for the remainder of his days even if his road proves unusually well, or if he writes not even want, nor shall it be necessary for his seed to beg for bread to use the language of or to write for him his automobiles to one, and to reduce his expenses in many ways. He can be a gentleman, or John Arthur Johnson, gentleman. The negroes of the United States would not like to see Johnson drinking his mock by the way of utter destitu- --- Moran is in a clover; he has hitched his wagon to a star all right. He is now in America doing vaudeville, getting a nice, comfortable, and good time to go. He came to the main show who will meet the canoe champion. He says that if he can deliver the knockout punch it will be worth $1,000,000 to him; and he will right it will be worth $1,000,000 to him. He will be a profitable of the plaudits of the white civilization. No name in history would equal that of Frank Moran. Sounds a trifle bombastic, doesn't they set down what you get? And you add. Never has there been such a bitter waged war in the world's history Johnson was so filled with hope. "Crisis. He was felled and lay here until the count was up, high one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and then nine, perhaps. When he stood up once more, he was a bit of a sense of "of those unseen agencies that helped their mortal favorites in the needy time in those ancient wars of mythology. " Joined by the other two, the new spectacular phase of his championship. The added theatrical value has not made for the quietude of the champion unless he is the best of the circumference and the most unrestful. The daquiting influences with the rest have entered into the compound, making for the greatest quest since that of the "Holy Grape" in the world. It is not as much an illustration. Irreverent one will say, but what thing has been so diligently sought as the title of Jack Johnson. The world's top-闺ப் he always was Moran is right. It will be the신 his million dollar punch, it will be the blow that will "stagger humanity," it will get the freedom of cities, the things which are the taken up of a people deeply obligated. THE HOT PACE LED BY MANY OF THE MODERN RINGMEN COM- PLES THEM TO RETIRE FROM THE ARENA BEFORE THEY ARE 30-HOW THE OLDTIMERS LASTED TO THE FETY MARK. (By Jack Skelly.) "Hasty climbers have sudden falls"—Italian proverb. It seems strange to me indeed, how young most of the modern flat stars are obliged to step down and out and retire from the ring. Ooster, the rather clever little featherweight, who has quite a brilliant record for the last three years he has been battling, annotated by the age of twenty-five. There's Terry McGovern, Young Corbett and all three famous featherweight champions before he reached the thirty mark. Kim Britt, another great ringman eighty years when he was twenty-eight years. And here's Johnny Coulon, the clever, scientific banquon champion, on the very fifty-fifth year. Johnny started boxing when he was sixteen years of age. Mank this is one reason why most of the youngsters get better early. They start out they are really developed. They go such a rapid pace for a few years, until nature calls a halt, and they are forced to throw the stones. don't say that sixteen is too young. They say that sixteen is too young for them. But I do claim it is too early for them. There's a vast difference between sixteen and seventeen. Attell, Young Corbett and Terry Corbett are of sixteen or seventeen, and consequence of they were all in, physically, before they were sixteen. The Face That Kills The great trouble with the modern in war and champions of the flat arena in war is the opinion, is the swift pace they travel, is the skill they start to start with, and what they use is the top they live like lords and speedy athletes. Too much high, simple manner, of the oldtime pugilists never had the curries nor indulged in the wild, unmanly manners of the present day fighters. They may have drank to excess, but they soon dislouse the modern ringmen. A Young champion at Thirty-Three. When Johnny McCoy the heavyweight championship under the buro-knuckle London Thies on May 19, 1935, the Young American Champion, age at the time was thirty-three years of considered age. Nowadays he would do no more. (Most of the record books champion, but can prove that he was without a doubt. Terry McGovern won the champion. ship in 1900, when he was only twenty years of age, and lost the title the following year. Other Wonders for Their Age. Over in Australia they have a black Wonder at the age of 45. He's battling like a Trojan all comers, and has quite a clever pugilist, but also a great spinner. This dusky marvel is Jerry Jerome, who is well known and very popular in Australia, atty mark, and is still lightning young. This Paddy, another negro of the Antipodes is also a wonder for his age. He has passed away, atty mark, and is still lightning young fellow. This "the Iron Man" of Australia, fought hard finished battles up to the age of 45. He was never very particular about weight in making a tackle, but he was tough for forty pounds without an argument or a kick. Burge made a tour of Yan'an, met all comers in different parts of the country. He was indeed an iron man, but being, gruelling career within the ropes. Billy Murphy, another Australian who was well and favorably known in hard and often until he reached the age of forty, when he tried to take over the job, which he now earns his daily bread. How Long Will They Last? I am now wondering how long some of the earmarks of the three and four times a week, will last? Take Battling Levinsky for example, who has all the earmarks of a good team, and he will often too often. If he keeps the swift pace he's going at present, he will find that his vitality and steam will be exhausting, and he will simply keep up the gait he's going, and last many years. There are a whole bunch of other fighters in the ring to challenge him, anxious to grab all the coin in sight. It's all right to make hay while the sun shines, but the craze for the all-inclusive fighter, but men in almost every other daily occupation in our American speedy, restless, and as men in the humble walks of life, are rushed to an early grave by the intense hustle and bustle, too much speed and too much money gambling, driving, and leads short existence. Be moderate in everything, if you are not a fighter, whether you're a fighter, a multi-millionaire, a college professor, or the president on the United States. You all know that a contested mind means a long and happy life. THE CLEVELAND ROYAL GIANTS WILL BE LANDING AGGRE- ATION The Cleveland Royal Giants, a colored aggregation, will attempt to put forth one of the strongest teams in the Six City in many years, composed of all Southern players under the leadership of J.

Ray states that after losing, he came to the conclusion that his days as a star were over, and he cancelled his contract and fight again. He will manage Milburn Sayer from now on. NEW YORK—Still unsatisfied with several recent beatinges handed him here, Jim Flynn, the former Milburn Sayer, Excelsior Springs, Mo., all boiled out. Jack Curley, Flynn's manager, says the tough new will go to the front first over the beaten body of Battle Levinsky. The negro population of six southern cities—Atlanta, Macon, Birmingham, and Memphis, talk of organizing a professional league to be conducted on the lines of organization from the best talent in the country. It has been suggested to Lou Castro that he perfect the plans, and now living at Atlanta, will be made the league president, and steer his colored brethren through the process of building an interest. An interesting situation might develop if the negroes should ask for protection under the National association.

A scrap between 1910 JACK HANNIBAL, WELTERWEIGHT the two is expected in the near future. BECAUSE we are first-class, so the bout is looked forward to with considerable anxiety. DULL DAYS IN THE PUGILISTIC BELT. Middleweights Have Turned Their Backs to One Another, and the Wetlers, McFarland and Gibbons, Are as Hard to Bring Together as Two Bad Men of a Frontier Settlement. SAN FRANCISCO—Much as it grieves us to harp upon a much-thumbed stingers are dull days in the pugilist stage. The white hopes are a bench show of jokes and the lightweights are either entertaining or mischievous. The middleweights have their backs turned to one another, and the wetters—meaning Packey and Mike—are as bad as the two bad men of a frontier settlement. Under the circumstances the smallest catspaw that riffles the surface of the water is hungry for excitement. The fans are hungry for excitement, and when that condition prevails it is the moment of occurrence in which in happier times, would have caused no particular commotion. The present San Francisco is ringing with the praises of Billy Murray, the young middleweight who defeated Silent Leo Houk. The more enthusiastic gamers are calling Murray a second game. Big Demand for Match. There is a demand that he be matched right away with Jimmy Clabby, and from the heated discussions relative to the sport, he is not the kind that are already in progress it can be readily seen that local sport-dom would be in a rare state of ferment, a meeting between the pair is a sporting editors' mall bulges with requests for Billy Murray's comeback. The writer, he hasn't such a thing about him. I doubt, in fact, whether Murray himself, could to offhand he be seen in his wrist strife. No doubt, if he continues to climb in his chosen profession, it will all come in his hands. He will supply the tabulators with the names of all the fellows he has vanquished, and the 1915 statisticians will have so much to do that we wonder we did not hear of him sooner. The best information we have about Billy Murray is that for years he led the team in the oil-field regions. Taft being a faye-ly figure, he has boxed extensively in oil-field regions. Taft being a faye-ly figure, he has boxed extensively in quite a number of 20-round bouts at the point named, so that it was quite a mistake to suppose his match with Houck was his initial trip Murray was fairly rich in experience when he happened into San Francisco and threw in his lot with the fellows who made a specialty of four-round Hard School for Youngsters. Now this branch of fistic sport in San Francisco is considered a hard challenge, and many who engage in it box week in and week out, and while there are no championships involved, the average age is only 25, so he can retain a hold on the esteem of the patrons and keep in good standing. He is also a reputation for whirlwind milling. It is an old saying in San Francisco "Championship bouts are all right, but for real battling give me the Friday night shows. I am such company that Billy Murray fought his way into the good graces of the local sports. He hammers the middleweights to a frazier and him Coffroth, who always has his eyes open for the best in the market, grabbed him and closed with an opponent he changes gear in an instant and is as busy as I am in conjunction or Ad Wolgast in their best days. He is so effective at both outfighting and infighting, in fact, that it would be hard to imagine I know that when I saw him among the four-rounders I thought he was at the viewing hall from range. I seeing him will make I felt that close work was his forte. Murray Fights Very Little. A noticeable thing about Murray is that he heats his fists within skimming his lashes out, is a rare thing to see his straight left miscarry. A thing in Murray's favor is that he has all the assurance and confidence of a man who has been years at the game. His courage is undoubted, and his skill is any criterion, he assimilates well. A number of his well-wishers seem to have been killed by him against a crackerjack like Chabby until he has had more experience, but these are being talked down by a larger number who believe that he will be killed. Chabby as surely as he defeated Houck. VETERAN COLORED FIGHTER IS ROBBED. Kid Ash, Cincinnati's Middleweight Fighters, is represented by Joe Nolan of Englewood. Kid Ash, who has met all the best fighters in the country, such as Joe Gans, Bobby Jobs and Tommy White, fought for the title of White, and mastered him, having the best of it for six rounds with two rounds even and two for Turner. Ash forcing the fighters to the floor, and the strongest at the finish, was ruled against by the white press, whose opinion decided all sweeps and there was no one against Mr. Ken Knox, who was very sensitive over the decision, as he states he can beat this boy Turner any time. Mr. Ben Knox was in his corner, when the white seconds giving Ash whisky. Tip Pendleton, who plays shortstop for the Pekin Special, has agreed to play this game, holding out. Mr. Conley is is all smiles. Money John Conley has two promising stars in Ardell Taylor and Loulie Hocken- LOCAL COLORED FANS WILL SEE GOOD BALL. This Season's A. B. C. Team Promises to Be One of the Fastest Clubs in Its Class in the United States. Fans who attend the games at Northwestern Park this season will have the opportunity to play semi-professional baseball that money can produce. Owner Tom Bowser has engaged Taylor to play for the champions West Baden Spruels, to handle the reins of his club. Taylor has been in baseball for eleven years and knows the game from A. O. He is considered one of the craftiest colorado players. Thirty-one players have been added to the roster of the A. B. C. s. A majority of last year's players try to beset, besides four of the stars from last season's Spruels, two from the American League, three from Dayton, Ohio, and two from St. Louis. Manager Taylor is also in communication with a pitcher from Ariz, who has an excellent record. The A. B. C.'s this season intend to play in the first pitch, paid a monthly salary. Manager Taylor will take his large squad of ball tossers out for their first pitch. The P.A. Practice will be held every afternoon this week. Starting with Sunday a morning and afternoon game, the held. Tanner will be invited to attend, as no admission will be charged. KID FIELDS HAS SOMETHING TO FEATHERWEIGHT CLAIM. FEATHERWEIGHT CLAIM. As to Geo. Dixon's remarks whether I am champion or not, I will answer on everything in every State I have been in. I have beaten lots of lightweights and have won the mentioned would not dame box me. Kid Sylvester is the best of the lot, and I have beaten him. I will change if he wants it. Geo. Dixon was to box me here and got cold feet right in the ring and left the crowd without a Now if Mr. Nate Lewis is looking after Dixon's affairs, I will be much bigger. I have never made a match yet and then backed out. My blood don't run that way. Now let Dixon or any one else jump through and see who is. The Indianapolis Middleweight Too Strong for the Sheridan, Ind., Lad. Hannibal, the local middleweight champion, proved too strong for Kid Mann, who was knocked out Thursday. From the first Hannibal drove in wicked body blows on his opponent which weakened him so that the fight was stopped in the fifth for it was becoming so one-sided that the fans cried out stop it. Hannibal recently returned from the fist foul, when his wife was in every place when Walt the ring, but the deal fell flat. It seems that Watts does not want to exchange the fight with Mann, the known fact that Hannibal is some slugger. Fighting at close range for the stomach he is got it on the boy. Hannibal is now man the best 183-bil, boy that has been developed here for some time, and is anxious to meet boys around his weight. Kid Black, formerly of this city, now of Terre Haute, had the shade over Kid Robinson in five rounds at Sherlard, last Thursday night. Black has indicted him for improvement since he was last seen here and we all hope he will continue so. THE BONHAM TIGERS OF BON- HAM. TEX. The Bonham Tigers have organized an event ready at all times to book games and officers were elected: Lonnie Bennett, manager; Will McCullough, captain; Dale Dale, Dale; C.

Jack Blackburn outpointed Tommy Howell in the wind-up at the National Athletic Club last week, the bout at weight made in 150 pounds at 6 o'clock, but Blackburn was two pounds over weight. His bout at weight was further than the Italian fighter, and had a much longer reach. Blackburn seemed to not appear to be able to extend himself, his five years in prison having improved as he went on and several shots shot the old stiff jabs to Howell's arm, the advice of his chief second, Adam Ryan, who ordered him to go in and rough it with Blackburn at every hand. That it was not the old Blackburn who was fighting was proven by the many clean jabs to the face, and rocked Jack with a couple of right-handed. Blackburn sent several stiff punches to Tommy's stomach, these probably being what kept Tommy from trying Howell's lump was bleeding and he had a lump under one eye when he jumped. He was hit by Jack Britton both challenged Blackburn. A bout between the latter and Britton would afford a better test of Blackburn's real form than last night's contest.
