Everything in the voting line for the year has gone with a sweeping victory for the winner and so in the case of the hospital youngestographer of The Freeman, in the recent state-wide popularity contest for the benefit of the youngestographer known as spotted-scoped worker, Mrs. W. E. Brown. Miss Smith was crowned queen of the carnival Thursday the day after the victory, the victory came after two weeks' announcement of her entry into the contest which ended last Saturday night. Immediately upon the announcement her many friends here and at her home Chicago have voted. Many votes were received from people she and never seen, but who acknowledged their interest in her winning award. But that she was affirmed by The Freeman. The sweeping victory was the biggest surprise of the season, as no one knew that such a transepiduous number of votes were being cast for the young lady. Chicago Sends One Thousand Votes. Chicago alone sent one thousand votes for the success of the victor, which shows that although the Hitter maid has been away from her home MISS MAYBELLE SMITH. for over two years yet her affable disposition has evidently left a lasting impression in that great city where many of the people are cold and indifferent, but because there are so many people coming to the place and so much going on there, the people are cold and indifferent, but pretty apt to be forgotten, but this little girl seems to be the exception. I am darn ring-wearing and she is awarded with it but it is not consideration with the "queen," as her constant comments on the outcome of the contest is a revelation of so many fragrances. We are all proud of her great showing, who joined us many a winner when we readied. Everyone here worked hard for her victory and gave their loyal support. A detailed account of the crowning will be given in next week's issue. CHAMPAIGN. ILL --- NEWS OF MURPHYSBORO, ILL. BONHAM, TEXAS. Mrs. Emma Steward was operated on April 7.

Such a named person has not be authorized to do business for this publication. Persons doing business with him will do it at their own risk. THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING CO. The good old American game—baseball—is on for the season of 1914. The Indianapolis aggregation started out most auspiciously, winning the first game 4 to 0 over the Cleveland fellows. Why not boost Dr. Booker T. Washington's railroad days proposition? The object is to get better accommodations in the railroad coaches set aside for colored people. June 7th and 8th are the days. We of this vicinity should feel very thankful for the beautiful weather Easter Sunday. Had it been otherwise there would have been considerable lamenting and mental cursing, if not audible. Its the world's way. We remember kindly and long our disapointments, but take the good, satisfactory things as a matter of course. The reconstructed A. B. Cs. of Indianapolis, one of the leading teams of colored baseball players, promise great things for the season of 1914. It is expected that Rube Foster's Giants, the Lincoln Giants of New York and the Cubans, will come with fear and trembling when scheduled for this city. The team had a brilliant game, but the great crowd poured out to see the game and to see what the new manager had up his sleeve. Dr. Booker T. Washington has suggested that June 7th and 8th be set apart by the Negroes of the country as "Railroad Days". He thinks that some forms of expression should come from the race generally wherein the railroad officials are asked to remedy the poor coach evils—the coaches that are set aside for the Negroes in the South. He seems to be of the opinion that if the railroad authorities are forcibly reminded of their short comings that they will do what is expected of them by the colored people, also what is expected of them by the laws. This method of getting our own may not appeal to all, yet we know that we are not making much headway in some of the essentials to civilization in its best sense. We will lose nothing in a concentrated effort to bring the companies around to their sense of duty. The pulpit is meant to do its part on June 7th, which is Sunday. The editors can get in their work for the same day, since our publications are mostly read on the Sabbath day. The lecture platform could use Monday evening to advance. Will we hold up the hands of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the man who is playing such a large part in bringing about a better understanding be tween the races? JACK JOHNSON GETS NEW TRIAL The United States Court of Appeals at Chicago last Tuesday reversed the judgment of the lower court sentencing Jack Johnson, negro fighter, to the Joiliet penitentiary for one year and one day on "white slavery" charges, and granted the negro a new trial. Johnson was also fined $1,000, which is likewise set aside. Johnson is now in France, and can not be extradited for violation of the Mann act. By the decision the case is returned to the lower court for resentence on one of the counts in connection with Johnson's transportation from Pittsburgh to Chicago of Belle Schreiber, a white woman. On the count concerning violation of the commercial clauses of the Mann act a retrial is ordered, as the upper court held that Johnson had not been shown to have been guilty of trafficking in vice. According to United States District Attorney Wilkerson the situation of Johnson's bond is unchanged. Date for the retrial will be set in the federal court here thirty days from last Tuesday and the pugilist must be present on the new trial date or forfeit his bond. Johnson's attorney was elated when the opinion was announced. One would think that by the reversal of the judgment that the Negro champion is coming in for better consideration. We are of that opinion, and yet if his coming and standing a mean his probability a better stick to his job of staying away. We are not looking at any man should stand out against the law. We are simply looking at it from Johnson's viewpoint. And, in fact, it is the viewpoint of most men when confronted with imprisonment. His viewpoint is more than that. In his opinion, the object was to toot him and railroad him to prison. The new trial might restore his original status, but it is by no means assured. Can Johnson afford to take the chances? Not if he is making good in France, thus being enabled to reimburse those who lose out on his bond. Or stick Johnson in prison on a charge that would have been con- sturded otherwise would be a nasty piece of work. In the history of our race struggle nothing has been meaner; nothing that promised so much harm; nothing so malignant and meant as a reproof, as a castigation to the race because a white woman entered the "scene." Under the circumstances Johnson did the proper thing in getting away. When the laws, or those manipulating, fail to respect those whom they concern, then they, too, should fail of respect. Any other view pronounces a man less than a man. Not that he can always successfully compete with the "opposition," but he can assert his position and try to establish himself accordingly. Perhaps this is no time to get all wrought up about the matter, since it appears that the tide has set in right for Johnson. But we feel very much as Marc Antony felt when orating over the dead body of Caesar—'My heart is there in the coffin with herer and I must until I return to me. We think that United States Court of Appeals found right when it held that "Johnson had not been shown to have been guilty of trafficking in vice." THE PANAMA CANAL CONTRO VERSY. Not many of our colored newspaper "brethering" have something to say on the ship's toll exemptions business. Last week one of them was out in quite an article, insisting that we had the right to do with our own canal as we please. At first blush it does appear that way and most especially if we know nothing of the situation. When the conditions are known and understood the stoutest among us begin to wobble, if we do not topple over altogether, on the right side. Ours is not a case of isolation or independence in the matter. We found it necessary, at first, convenient to to enter into treaty relations before it was deemed safe to begin the construction. "Article III of the treaty says: 'The canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations on terms of entire equality, so that there shall be no discrimination against any such nation or its citizens or subjects, in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise. Such conditions and charges of traffic shall be just and equitable.' (2) Our treaty with Panama of November 18, 1903, says: 'The canal, when constructed, shall be opened upon the terms provided by Section 10 of the Treaty into the governments of the United States and Great Britain, on November 18, 1901.' That was the section of the Hay-Paucefonte treaty quoted above, John Hay, secretary of state, assisted in negotiating both treaties." Whether such a treaty was imperative is another question. There is not a shadow of doubt but what our country is obligated to the sisterhood of nations to do what the treaty says. There has been inclination to view ourselves to be free to do as it pleased us, after the manner of proprietorship. The face of the reading declares differently, all parties being equally bound, not to speak of the treaty, but to reserve. The language of the treaty could have been "tighter," but fair minded men, who do not let the wrong kind of patriotism get the better of them, will not fail to see the intent of the instrument. THE JIM CROW CARS SITUATION. Mrs. Embry's letter is timely. It is in the right spirit. She tells a straightforward story of what she experienced, and shameful enough, in view of the quality of the women, as we infer by her communication. In our opinion, the railroad companies will do the better part of what the officials have said, if they are reminded of it often by such persons as Dr. Booker T. Washington and Mrs. Julia Embry. We mean persons who call the attention of the officials in a respectful way, asking for a reform in that language in which reforms are asked. It would be much better if the companies entered the work, with the proper, appreciative spirit, rather than being forced. He who is convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. The assertion is almost a truism. We know how we have been baffled and beaten in spite of laws, We do not mean humility of speech, but respectability of speech. Mrs. Embry sets forth the conditions of the coaches in which she rode in a convincing way. We are satisfied that the companies do not take pride in giving poorly cared for coaches to the colored people, yet they are of the American people, and who do not believe in being made to do anything much. We can imagine the rest when the colored people have part in the controversy. All else failing we should not forget to try the law—but everything else, until that stern and doubtful necessity. We said last week that public sentiment preceded the law. Such is the case. It is up to us to show those railroad men what is being done in those separate coaches—constantly. The public should know it, for it is the only tribunal for unpopular causes. Somehow the people will wobble right, as it were said by Lincoln, or some other thoughtful individual. This means more than likely, that in the disputes and squabbles of men righteousness will edge to the fore. Little by little in their mad contending the truth is admitted, when every man gets his just desert. To enlarge a little more yet: the Civil war came through the contentions of men, the Missouri Compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska bill and the rest of them when the defeated admitted the still great thing of freedom and threw their influence to that end. In Congress, out of Congress, men are yet disputing; they are still contributing to "unallowed" right as a result of their quarrels. When our questions are not reached in a direct way, when they are not cared for in a direct way, we must rely on indirect influence. We are not out of the calculation in these indirect influences. We can help fashion them. We can do this by setting forth our grievances as the poor, weak and deed have done before, and in time we will benefit by those truths and admissions that are flung forward by the vortices of contending men.

The bill at the Crown Garden this week is made up of attractive numbers. The patronage has been a little slow in taking advantage of what is available within the past few weeks, but the management has not let up in the effort to present this theater the house or good shows. THE BLANK SISTERS A Classy Pair of Girls. The Blanks Sisters, Arseclo and Birecla, do some classy turns in novice fashion, with the "Baseball Rag," a vivid characterization of what's seen and heard on the field by "Aint Got Nobody," by Miss Arseclo. The number is pleasingly rendered. The beautiful baritone voice of Miss Arseclo is heard in "In the Garden." In "The Memphis Blues," their dancing is novel, including a number of the new steps. Both are fine appearing. Miss Birecla shimmers in the sattah, down her single number, and Miss Arseclo radiant in purple satin and spangles were good to see. With "Amazon" number, then the quick change or the "Memphis Blues" resumes, the act is a success in every way. PEAT AND HAYES Comedian and Straight. Peat & Hayes are favorites at the Crown Garden. Peat furnishes unlimited fun, and of course through his straight fun, and enter with his accordo "a breezy dance of number steps and movements. Peat goes big when singing "If I Can January and February, I Can March Bight On through. Their own company. Their other numbers are "You'll Miss Your Loving Baby" and "Melody," which are also Mr. Peat's compositions, which is of fine appearance. She was fittingly attired. HATTIE GARLAND Songstress. Miss Garland is an Indianapolis girl, and she has the quality to her. She shears her hair, bows her hair, "You Won My Heart," "Crying for You," and "Wonder If I'm Wasting My Love" she will not be easily on any stage. She looks the part—dignified and artistic. Her wardrobe is good, and she changes throughout her singing. W. S. THOMPSON (Slow Kid) Comedian and Eccentric Dancer Thompson is another Crown Garden favorite. He's a young, old showman, who has been a big fan of Wagenbock's Shows every season, and when he has done for several years. He's a young man, but has seen considerable show service, and he has been a big fan of His eccentric dancing went big. In fact, all he does is entertaining. He hings, "It Was Me" and "Dragging Along." He leaves for his engagement at the Crown Garden. NOTES FROM A RABBIT FOOT CO. Our above correspondent writes from Newport, Ark.: The Big Show with the showgirl, the showgirl, the showgirl, is now in the State of Arkansas, going the same old turnaway business. Notwithstanding the fact that the showgirl, the showgirl, the showgirl, is now at the opera house, yet it could plainly be seen after the "Gold Band" had rendered the concert selections, and closing with Beale Arc's opera, "Jogo Blues," it was a settled fact that the band was based at Memphis, Tenn., and the bunch enjoyed a rare treat in the afternoon, when we all assembled down on the levee to witness an open air concert at the Memphis Civic Center.

"DARKTOWN FOLLIES" in HOCK WHILE AUDIENCE LAUGHS. Patrons of Lycme Show Enjoy Comedy. Unconscious of Tribulations of Negro Owner, While Constables Attach Properties for Back Salaries. FITTSBURG, Pa.—While a large audience at yesterday's matinee in the Lycme theater laughed until they ached over "The Darktown Folk Show," the theater officials, the theater officials and the law knew that behind the masks was a tragedy that almost broke up the show. Last night most of the leading players were missing from the cast of the play, and the actor of Almerian John A. K. Jirby or of Alderman John A. Martin, could the reason be recovered. The scenes yesterday afternoon was the attachment of every piece of scenery, every costume, every prop, every actor, every book, every "prop," all receipts and anything else that might be considered an actor and owner of the show.

The receipts were attached Friday night and yesterday afternoon Attorney Brasley, accompanied by constables, was in progress, but undaunted, the constables went about their business. Last night the five actresses waited in line for the show to close, expected Hill to appear.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review By Sylvester Russell. Tyler & Gerwood at the Grand Andrew Trible Makes Merry. Rosa Lee Tyler and Charles Gerwood, the Honolulu baritone-toner, made their first team appearance at the 2012 Olympics from the islands. They appeared in a Hawaiian romance, splendidly set with new scenery and the prison scene from UI Trovatore which was highly apprehensive.

Cary, pastor of Institutional church, colored Chicago censor stock, and the Afro-American Film Company of New York, billed for the States theater last Monday evening, the picture, dissected by the character was that of a minister in flirtation. There was but one object in the picture, the character ever, less damaging than some I have seen produced by white film companies. Chas. Glipin, the well known actress, has to be careful hereafter, in comedy, to produce a legitimate play and the art of composing the character by passing judgment upon all their pictures before sending them out. To get wise quickly the art of duplication by passing judgment upon all comedy plays but I don't see how that could legally be done or be generally approved of. STAGE NOTES AND STROLL NEWS The actors fund of America has just begun to invest in the effect. Perhaps the effect will make the emergency fund proposition alluring.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE LET THE LOCAL ALAMEDA TERMS ACCOUNT FOR THE FINITE INTERNATIONAL BOXING UNION MET IN SWITZERLAND. MET IN SWITZERLAND. THE BOXING CHAMPIONS ARE DECLARED. FRANK MORAN IN INDIANAPOLIS (Ry Billy Lewis.) On April 11th, the International Boxing Union met in Switzerland and did some things. We did not do anything bad, even some of the members did fail to popular approval. This same commission, or some other one under the same name, Jack Jack Jack, championship some more. If it were the same union has undergone a change of heart. At that time, the commission had resolved to resolutions, and that one of them. Just what the status of the union is, is generally known. I meet the authority, authorizing it, but it is not very much talked of in this country. The necessity of such a union is plain to see. According to information representatives were present from France, Belgium, and the United States. America promised to be a later time. June 4th is the time for this meeting; Geneva, Switzerland, the place, is where whether self-constituted it should be. Who put the senators in the box came near deciding the thing as it would. Who put the senators in the box according to the dispatch. The wisdom will have to be changed up to the new time. France, with the result of the unions of the International Boxing Union as to who's who as it concerns the heads of the divisions of the box- *Playweight*, Percy Jones; bantamweight, Johnny Coulon; featherweight, Johnny Kibane; midweight, Bichir; lightweight, vacant; vacant, vacant; light heavyweight, Sam Langford. The heavyweight title was declared to be pending between Jack and Johnny Sam Langford, the winner before the first. If either of the two refuses to sit at that time he shall be deprived of his claim to the championship." the chances are that the decisions of the union will stick, since they in the most part stand for the best sponsorship provision it is doubtful if it should be so strict. If Sam Langford fails to carry out his duty to carry out the injunction of the union. By a strict construction, a fight would be fought when, more than likely, it is meant that Johnson must accept Langford's challenge provided he post the required amount of money. And he must be doing about with his championship. The title is his by the laws and private something that he may dispose of at his will. Of course he should hope to gain motive by meeting the champion. Beyond this Johnson has no right to reserve him for a challenge contested for; every three months if necessary. The ruling also applies to Moran in overcomes Johns.m; he must meet Langford. That the heavyweight championship lay between Jack Johnson and the two fighters will not take kindly to. I can see cause for forcing Johnson to fight a competitor whether he will or not; I can see that Sam Langford, in the case of the two fighters Johnson as a rival, I can not see that the championship lay between Johnson and Langford in such a sense as to compel the two to fight it out. But the difference is not great and perhaps the competition gives out in the matter will stand. --- Frank Moran, the man who will meet Jack Johnson in Paris, was in Indianapolis last week. I inform you that Mr. Moran he called his engagement at the Columbia Theatre after showing three days. went to the theatre he had pulled up in front of me away. As a good, faithful reporter, I had to have something. I asked the "gateman" when would Mr. Moran appear at some other show—some other day. I asked the "gateman" when would Mr. Moran will not appear at this show. I concluded that he would appear at some other show—some other day. I concluded that he would not appear again until he had whipped Jack Johnson. In the huesage of Bert Williams it was a until he had whipped Jack Johnson. I missed. It was significant. Perchance I may never lay mortal eyes on a man who would be million dollar puncher. For the event to failure, there "won't be no show." I feel keenly my disappointment; for in thinking about persons and actions not in the same manner as soldier on paper, merely. According to the newspapers, the candidate for champion heavyweight honors did not use them as had as follows. Frank Moran, the heavyweight, who is matched to meet Jack Johnson in the press reports say is bigger than any man ever before offered, appeared in the Columbia yesterday. Moran is at his big follow, there is no getting around that, it seems as if he has the punch with his not yet gone to appear a bit slow at the present time, but that may be attributed to the fact that he has not yet gone into active training months' distant. He boxed a short exhibition with Glenn Coagley at both performances yesterday and was schedled on the Ft. Wayne fighter again today. AUSTRALIAN WRITERS SAY SAY LORDS FOR HIW WINS, FOR HIW Day Brisonen, the former Indianapolis welterweight fighter, whose retirement from the ring was recently announced, and who is now managing Milburn Saylor and his local lad who has put the K. O. sign in the heaviest weights in Australia, writes to reporting editor of The News, indulging tales telling of Saylor's face with Hershey, where down for the count before the Hershey in round 12 rounds a month ago. All abbreviations are from Sydney papers. All of them speak of Saylor's occipital pouch less than our old friend, the proper cup, with another name. The papers of Coy might have had a pachaein if he had a pachaein. The Saylor's dreadful occipital punch, which defines occipital as being "of or pertaining to the lower back of the head or the neck," says that Saylor occipital pouch starts and ends evidently that the Australian coulle was evident that the Australian coulle was being walloped on the back the neck at the rate of about two links of long arms, was as fast as Saylor's long arms. Snowy papers give Saylor credential it for being a superior fighter. One self said he was Saylor discovered him, "a renault of the stamina, strength and hitting power." Bronson says he is going to wait a while and see if Snowy Baker brings Willis, and see if Snowy Baker that if he does not confer to Australia, or for America to force Ritchie into a fist on the coast. He says that Saylor has been given 100 per cent since he left Indiana. MEDOGNIZED WORLD'S CHAMPION PIANO PLAYER ARRIVES IN TERRE HAUTE Starting Editor.

A. B .C.'S AND THE T. T.'S AGAIN. A. B. C's Playing Winning Ball From The Word Go. Defeats The Well Known Taste Tells Aggregation. The weather was ideal for the opening of the base ball season last Sunday, when what Taylor's reconstructed A. B. C. C's looked like and to see what the boys could do. It was thought that the A. B. C. C's of last year would be pretty well shot to pieces. The club has been pretty good, and the cent. of the present club was of the club of last year. Turner, Selden, Hutchinson, Jeffries, Hannibal, Bartlett, and others. They are considered a satisfactory group by the fans. The team last Sunday was with a crack team, Taste Tells. Both teams put up a good game of the shade of difference being in favor. Both boys lost a few good opportunities to score, which, perhaps, will not happen game when the two clubs meet again. In the run of the game there were a few errors that should not have happened in the big league playing. The pitching on both sides was good. Of Bartlett was particularly so. Wade was the best. Arm John in the sixth inning the score was 1 to 1 in favor of the A. B. C's. His quick delivery was his feature. He caught-several of them napping in these unexpected deliveries. He assisted in not less than one-third of the time, this time, perhaps one-half of them. When Steel Arm John Taylor took the box the crowd gave away to its owner, he got off vertically, and the crowd wished to see if he had the goods on him. He got off a little bad from the start, but no pitches were thrown. He "constant in his inconstancy"—no one knows what his ball is until it is right. He got on a reactive, puzzling, getting on to him will be difficult, because his art is that you don't get on to him. To put it in another way, the Ormes of the T. T.'s signalized himself by a fine one-hand catch, falling up a ball in the meanwhile, coming off a similar stunt in the left field. He had about a half dozen fine chances, lost one of them. His assistant sold him a did a double, was a fine exhibition. The maneuvers of the new management considerable interest. He is also a part owner of the team, being associated with Bowser. Mr. Bowser has some money to advance base ball interest among the colorful players, two promises to the followers of Bowser to run for their money. The brilliant management great encouragement.

This is my malden effort at writing for the newspapers, and the only ex-commissioned sport writer's lucrative pastime is that it is done at the request of The Times, and the institutes my apology to them for invading their territory. I have reluctantly submitted this litter to this number. In defense of myself it is well to outstate that I have directed whatever is necessary to the handling of ball clubs and the training of young players and not to preferring to leave that field entirely to the zealous and jealous sport writer, the sport writers of the other race, they do not like an invasion of their own assumption of any of their preoperative Negroes Handicapped. His Failure: He has failed as an organizer. There is a peculiar prejudice that we have to overcome. We are not the other people. We do not mean to argue that by maintaining an organized league of Negroes, a wedge would be built between us and the ranks of organized baseball. I do believe that by so doing our chances of winning are greatly reduced. It is always the fellow who is doing something that can get something to do. Our players are not developed to the highest point for the reason that there are no strings tied to them through 1 C. I. TAYLOR, MANAGER OF THE A. B. C. BASELEH CLUB. organization, and if a manager pin down on a player in order that he be able to win, that player is apt to jump to some other club where he thinks he sees, that player is apt to true or not, for him to idle around, where there is not so much practice, and no such rigid discipline, in whom he believed he saw great possibilities, and yet these same players, in many cases, did not have the ing desire to jump to some other team where the manager would allow them all kinds of privileges detrimental to the player. He had players who haps robbed the race of many a Ty Cobb or a Mathewsman. Organized base- An Advertising Game. Organized baseball is a great advertising agency for the city so fortunate as we owe a lot to the players in the fans toward the home club, not known to fans of independent ball. The lover of the game is the player, who is a position. He wants to see his clubs standing in the percentage columns of the daily papers. He is anxious to follow the players in the patches, the doings of his club while on a trip. He is just as interested in when the team is away from home as when it is playing in its own ground, and the daily papers the team home in a stretch of fifteen or eighteen games, where he calls them "play ball." This, and nothing else, will bring about the recognition of the Negro ball players in the amateur system, the ranks of the present system of organized baseball. The Present System. Under the system which we are playing at the present, neither the players, managers, nor fans have any protections against the players, limb to limb during a single season, until they have worn as many different uniforms as they ought to wear in a time of war. The manager to take his team to a town for a series of games, and leave the town short of from one to six players, said players either having signed on one local club or "got stuck on a woman." Not many seasons ago the writer managed to play on one head on a very important series of games to play. As is my custom, on the day before the series was to be played, I was given a opposition team, and discussed the importance of the series and how necessary it was for us to win it, giving them some points to win. The opposition team, and what would be the duty of each member of the team, not only on the ball field, but in caring for the team, added that no member of the team should take any intoxicating drinks, and I further urged them to retire early, not later than 10:30 what would you suppose happened? It might be well to state just here, however, that it ought to be the desire of the team to have the service of which he is capable, and especially so on important special occasions. Rube Waddell was never loved by the team, but he left Connell Mack without his service and a worthy antagonist of Mathewson back in the middle of the last decade as before, he let the manager and the team know that he never stopped falling from that date. Protection to Players. Players as well as the fans will hall the coming of the League in that they will get larger salaries, but they will be able to demand their pay by a given law. Patrons Protected. Protection, through the organization of a Negro league will come to the thousands of patrons of the present team, who will not only see a spectacle, but a contest, when they journey to the park. C.
