ANN ARBOR, Mich, April 27—Miss Phyllis Wheats Waters, of Charleston, West Virginia, whose exploits on the campus of the Arbor high school, made her conspicuous in the educational annals of the University of Michigan, where she matriculated to the opening of the present term, following her graduation from the school, where she finished with honors. Breaking down all barriers of race by reason of her phenomenal record of achievement, Miss Waters, her charming personality and splendid scholarship, Miss Waters was elected a member of the basketball team of the freshman class shortly after her enrollment, the severity of her gan. This, in itself, is a notable achievement, as in this time, no one has taken an arms against the predecessors THE BALL IS ON THE FIELD. THE BALL MISS PHYLLIS WHEATLY WATERS that exist is a more or less virulent form among certain elements in this proud institution by tradition, custom or proposing counsel, Miss Waters, with the courage and dash characteristic of her ancestry, made her fight for, and win, the university, and was elected an overwhelming majority. She was made welcome by young ladies representing the team, and South, and there isn't a more popular girl on the team than she. In the great games last Friday betweens the college and Freshmen for the 'Varsity championship, Miss Waters especially distinguished herself, and added to her long list of athletic accomplishments by a score of 14 to 7, and the daily papers of Ann Arbor teamed with praise of the skillful and aggressive teammate of her the lion's share of the credit for winning the contest for her team, which carried with it the championing and enthusiastic over the outcome, the Special to The Freeman.

Klern Lands Matt Marshall, and able to secure the indomitable wit and stage art, Matt Marshall, and his partner, Will Thomas, for three weeks' entertainment at the New Monogram, Monday, April 27. An entertainment was successfully given in honor of the Wee Wee Social Club last Tuesday at the residence of Walter Clay. Among those attending were little Buddy Saunders Charles, the son of the son of the father, Richard, Elljah Coleman, Samuel Leuty, Harrison Bowyer and Hubert Brock, and credit must be given the host for the swell entertainment. The宴席 was for four years, she was stated ungrudgingly that Miss Waters played the most sensational andtextrm-r现场的现场表演. She was also from in the Barbour Gymnasium, and this opinion was amply justified by the plaudits that repeatedly rang out during the significant stages of the contest. The audience packed out such a large number of people, of whom the most important was an university and enjoyed every moment of the thrilling combat of brain and brawn. The young colored girl from the "Mountain State" was easily the heralded and the most excellent. Miss Waters was for four years a member of the basketball team of the Ann Arbor high school and was elected captain in her senior year, another of our race at this institution. How well she acquitted herself in this responsible station was told last year in the stories of the games in which she had won the monstrous occasion of the adop-tion of the tennis field and in the swimming tank, following closely in the footsteps of her father, Col. Philip H. Waters, now chief deputy of the West Virginia Supreme Court, and the head of the board of directors of the ern orator, who was a famous athlete while a student at the University of Michigan in the early '90s. He is an authority on baseball and all forms of the sport, being the best of all. Sporting News, the only colored man 2 ever regularly enrolled as a member of its official reporting corps. Miss Waters inherits much of her father's love for outdoor life and this community of interest has forged a tie of love and devotion that has made them chums and companions—an idealization of what filial relations may become amid mutual enthusiasms and mutual endowments. Col. Waters is justly proud of his gifted daughter, and she has every reason in the world to glory in the successes of her father. Just as the rugged mountaineer is solving the race problem by force of character and fidelity to high trusts in West Virginia, the sturdy daughter is fighting her way to the front in Michigan's proudest university, measuring arms day by day with the sclons of America's noblest families, and holding her own with the best of them. Miss Waters is no theorist. She is solving the problem of race in the most practical fashion—winning rewards by sheer merit, backed by unremitting industry, pluck and perseverance. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Judge Robert H. Terrell has Been Confirmed After a Stubborn Fight that has Raged Since January HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON FOR GRAND MASTER HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON FOR GRAND MASTER The Race Enthusiastic for "Railroad Days" as Suggested by Dr. Booker T. Washington—Miss Lillian Brown and William DeMont have Closed their Engagement in Majestic Stock Company—Farewell Reception Tendered Rev. L. N. Ross and Wife—Senator Borah Delivers Address at Howard Theatre. (By R. W. Thompson.) (Bureau of The Freeman, 1337 Wallach Place, N. W., Washington, D. C.) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30—Judge Robert H. Terrell has been concurring that he has been going on since January 18 is not a reason to replay the play. Real American and genuine players against race prejudice crass bourgeoisism is one in which every Nrogro in the country will share. It is one of the reasons why the United States a cause for rejoicing. Since last Friday, when the Senate in executive session, gave a substantial majority in favor of the confirma-tion of Judicial Enforcement, the senior-lieutenant of the President's resignation been the recipient of telegrams, letters and messages of every description, warmly congratulating him upon his success and bespeaking for him a renewal of his splendid career upon the public service. Enough to recommend that the like-wise been showered upon President Wilson for his fine courage in renominating the Judge and according to him the full authority of the President. The鲜活的 vigorous protests of men who stood high in the councils of his party. The President is extolled because he placed character and competency beyond narrow confines of race and color and made it plain that he was above the level of the public. He was not a city that made an accident of birth, the standard of selection. Praise is also extended to Attorney-General McReynolds, who did not mince his words in estimating the capacity of Judge Terrell to serve the people. He recommended the ablest of the five men who had constituted the municipal court of the District of Columbia. He recommended the reappointment of Judge Terrell on the same day, of which he was the only straight in his position, unmoved by political consideration, personal bias or threats of a fight on the floor of the Senate. It was significant of the attorney-general's high sense of duty that the colored member of the bench was the only one of the retiring judges deemed worthy of retention. The fight was more desperately waged than the public prints have been able to produce. In the reports sent out day by day, Finally, the case got into such a shape that a vote could be forced, after much debate, to be forced. Judge Terrell's ermine was saved. Throughout the long struggle the judge escaped the dignity and excellent police. At no time did he give evidence of impatience, nor did he permit a word of encouragement to his escape his line. While appreciating the anxiety of his friends, he did not allow them above his ground, or clash with the administration, nor did he allow the battle to be pitched on political or personal grounds. The case stood above all a color because his color. He sought only such recognition, and such was demanded by the Bar Association of the District, led by President John E. Laskey, and by the city council. He was gone in and out daily for many years. The nation, the race and the close friends of Judge Terrell are all alike. He is expressed everywhere that this confirmation may be an entering wedge from which others of equal rank will The Race Enthusiastic for "Railroad Days." The enthusiasm of the race for the observance of "Railroad Days," in keeping with the suspicious suggestion of Dr. Booker T. Washington, that "the success of the movement for better conditions for the Negro on the lines of travel in states that have "lim-crow" car laws. Where distinction is made as to color, it is clear that the success of the movement for the accommodations furnished by the two races for the same money are identical. The many letters received by Dr. Washington and transmitted by Dr. Washington by the same time were of very little importance that the officials are in a frame of mind to do the square thing, if the evils and our opinion of them are put up to them in an intelligent way. The only thing that is the result of a volume that shows the race to be thoroughly aroused on the subject. In Washington and elsewhere, the ministers have agreed to keep the issue before the race. The问题的议员, fraternities and improvement clubs will discuss the question in their meetings throughout this month, and on the other hand, the question of the others will be held and delegations of three or more will be named to wait upon the railroad authorities in the various localities and bring the matter directly to their attention. That the state would have to do will be and profitable nature, no one will doubt who has any knowledge of the respect big business men have for the wishes of patrons who pay into their persons the money they have paid to the following every year of their lives. The matter must not be permitted to laz. From now until the first Sunday in June much missionary work can be done, and the missionary will be overlook such a golden opportunity to make himself felt for the betterment of all his race. "Railroad Days" will be epochal in the history. Henry Lincoln Johnson for Grand Master. "Unless all signs fall, Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Omaha, will be the president for the District of Columbia, will be the next Grand Master of the Grand Academy and a leading member of the Order of Three Links, the other day."

The election of Colonel Johnson by the lodges in May, after which the strength of Colonel Johnson will be more clearly seen, according to your respondent's keen-visited informant. Col. Johnson Stands on His Record as Record Touching the inaccurate and misleading report concerning the state of things in the office of the recorder of deeds, as carried in a Chicago paper of last week, Colonel Johnson smiled grimly, but refused to comment upon it. “The Department of Justice made an exhaustive examination of my office a few months ago. The inspectors pronounced everything in good working order, and stated that the service was prompt, courteous and complete, and accounted for a large amount of work, and the account of the 1988 yacht, and the history of the office. In the face of such a satisfactory verdict from a source so high and conclusive as the Department of Justice, it is needless for me to say anything in my opinion. I have no idea how much for to all his malice than to tell the truth. I am content to stand on my record for the nearly four years I have served as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia.” To a man-up-a-tree, the Chicago paper, in dealing out groundless rumors and inaccurate statements, is trying to rival the staff recently presented from the same source by a New York sheet. The New York paper, however, has been convinced of the unreliability of this scribe and has cut him off its staff as Washington correspondent. The Chicago paper would do well to follow suit and eschew the sensational falsehoods in which the service had been received. The effort to discredit the stalwart Colonel Johnson will not work The News in a Nutshell.

"Railroad Days"—June 7 and 8, will be "red-letter days" in the history of the Negro race. Prepare for them everywhere! No, gentle reader, B. M. C. does not necessarily stand for "Big Machine Control," whatever the facts may seem to be. Kissing is dangerous. A New York pastor is one of the latest受害者 to find out the truth of this oft-repeated warning. But, there will continue to be others. It is all right for the Negro to throw bouquets at himself, but we must not indulge in the practice at the workplace, in effort toward individual advancement. The most effective way to punish a notoriety-seeker is to refuse him the advertisement he seeks. Just let him alone and he will "run down" in course of time from sheer exhaustion. "Mr. Hennessy," talking to "Mr. Dooley," gets off a big hunk of truth when he says there's wurruk Fr. Dooley there, and wurruk Fr. manny that don't." The trouble is that a lot of people won't work unless they can find just the kind of job and do—and that's a difficult undertaking. No laws against intermarriage of blacks and whites are necessary anywhere. Society is self-distributive and men and women will mate with whom they like. As few have either a job or a position in the fire to cross the racial chasm, the issue is not a burning one. This is one of the problems best solved by being let alone. There are "dicty" folks who used to denounce Booker T. Washington's iris getting off fairy tales about their progress," who are now glad to get a chance to make a living boosting the fire to gry man ceases to put on airs when bread and butter are placed within reach. The Business League has its worth and does not need political directs to exploit its virtues. --- The National Negro Press Association has been asked to hold its 1915 meeting to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the National Half-Century Anniversary of Negro Freedom, urging the commission to have been extended the officials of the Press Association by James Hale Porter, chief field agent of the Holy Cross Commission, which has charge of the interment of the interment will be considered by the Association at its Muskogee meeting in August. T. Gillis Nutter, of West Virginia, may succeed himself as Grand Exaltation Chairman of the Association word. If he "passes", satisfied with one brilliant term, the mantle may fall to Archdeacon W. George Avant. He will be sympathy with them and their policies. A "Back from Elba" movement has taken on the foot to elect the biggest black Ruler to be exalted Ruler—J. Frank Wheaton, New York's "young man elbow." Secretary Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., is a busy man these days. He is the monster meeting of the National Baptist Sunday School School of Beauregard, after the immense correspondence necessary to prepare for the session. But, Mr. Boyd thrives best when he is hard at work. It makes little difference who is presi- dence an organization, if it can have Mr. Boyd as secretary and general pusher. --- Whether the enfranchisement of the Negro was a blunder or not is an important question, in the day and generation, and accustomed to accept it. It cannot be undone. The Negro and the nation have prospered under certain conditions. Amendments. The political would be the statesmanship of Lincoln a failure, the prowess of Grant a farce, and the sacrifices of Phillips, Garrison and Lincoln. The question before the house is how the Negro may justify the wisdom of his emancipators and make the best of the opportunities presented by his empire. The future holds the answer. The Little Rock Colored Infirmary is doing finely and showing what entertising and skilled Negroes can do and taking care of the admitted ones on race. The G. Hayman is the painstaking superintendent in charge and is assisted in the care of the race best surgeons. The head nurse is Miss Moore, sent to the Infirmary by Dr. Brooker T. Washington. The nurse is M. M. Williams. Good and is coming up to the high recommendations given by the head of Tuskegee Institute. She is not only a graduate of the nurse-training program, but she holds a diploma from an English school of obstetrics and has a class of young ladies in training under her. Chief Justice Clark of the Supreme Court of North Carolina put a stop to segregation in the city Council of Winston-Salem, holding that to declare valid a regulation would require owners to rent, lease or sell buildings to whomsoever they pleased would be to sanction the taking of property drive out of common Catholics, Jews, or Roman Catholics, groes. The only way to solve this interminable race problem is to allow on equal terms with all other races, peoples or classes. Injury must come the black man without reacting in some way upon some white man. In the several States the agitation started by Dr. Booker T. Washing- ing, a civil rights activist, mediations for colored people on the railroads, in railroad stations and restaurants, should be the center of our people themselves. On Saturday, June 6, there should be local meet committees to address the port of our people themselves. On Saturday, June 6, there should be local meet committees are appointed to carry the pressions of the Negroes to the rail road officials. On Sunday, the 8th committee of the Negroes will be object of sermons, addresses and discussion in all churches, literary so- cials, and the schools and on Monday, the 8th, the report should be made to the officials in a dignified place and affirm the action to yield beneficial results. Let the movement start at once, so that every may have a chance to take It is the consensus of opinion in the M. C. E. church that the General Conference of that denomination, which is the largest church in the elevate to the Bishopric the Rev. L. H. Brown, now presiding elder of the Louisville District, and regarded as the ablest exponent of the Kentucky. He has pastored the largest churches and has served the humblest missions and has wrought marvelous results in all of his undertakings, be they spiritual or material. As an exemplar of rightly acting, an ecclesiastical advocate, a civic faint, a people, an administrator of churches, a financier and an expounder of the gospel, an evangelist of theENCE that has made for the betterment of humanity in many fields, and his record of solid achievement has not been surpassed by any minister of a vigorous manhood, in the plentitude of his physical and moral powers, with a ripe experience back progress before him, Dr. Brown enters in the fullest sense every valuable requisite for an ideal Bishop. His promise for the highest honor within the gift of his are weighty, and the C. M. E. General Conference will serve itself and its people at St. Louis. This is pre-eminently "Dr. Brown's year," and a grateful denomination will not deny such a rich reward the reward he has so richly earned. SUCCESS IN HARNESSMAKING. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—The series of addresses to the students by successful negro business men was continued the past week by Mr. J. H. Fagain, of Montgomery, Ala., who spoke on "Harnessmaking as a Business." One address was given to the students who are taking harness-making and carriage trimming. On another occasion he addressed the students in painting, harnessmaking, carriage trimming, blacksmithing and wheelwrighting. Monday evening Mr. Fagain spoke to the members of the senior and A middle classes. In the course of his remarks he said: "I have been making harness for a number of years, in fact, all of my life, thus far has been spent in this work. One can not succeed in any work unless he is contented to make it his life work. I've tried to learn every detail, not only the practical side of the business, but the commercial side as well, which is all important if one wishes to make a big success. "When I decided to start in business for myself some years ago, I made many hard work give out my life my my life is in the livery business) to prepare me a place in his establishment where I might appear, get from the outside, and to my agreeable surprise, it was just what he had been looking for. I gave him the place in time for him to have the work done on the premises. He agreed to prepare a place, he agreed to pay $5 not less than $25 for work of preparation. He even had the bench made not less than $55 for work of preparation. He even had the bench made not less than $55 for work of preparation. He asked me where my tools were. The question made me feel pretty bad, had, truly, miseried to tell him that I have any. "What then, do you mean to do about it?" he asked. "I mean to borrow the money of you. to buy them, to get them best quality dollars, but finally asked how much I needed. I expressed no little confidence in my ability to get best quality dollars. I ordered for order for the tools. I hurried off, got the tools, and started in to work. Not worse than the money I had in his order and returned it to him marked "paid." This is the way I got now in business on a prominent street of Montgomery. The shop is furnished with first-class machinery and equipment, and most successful work on short notice. The patrons of our business include some of Montgomery's best and most successful businesses. Making harness and making money. I make mention of this only to show that a colored harnessmaker can succeed in a system and work is what it should be. FRIDAY MORNING CLUB ENTER TAINING T. WASHINGTON. LOS ANGELES, CAL--Among the many reception given Dr. Booker T. Washington while he was here, one of the most notable was the one given by the Friday Morning Club, the largest and most influential exclusive venue, to Dr. Washington. It was most extraordinary affair and the largest attendance in the history of the venue, to listen to Dr. Washington. Women of the highest and best classes flocked to the meeting in such numbers that they formed a large audience. The luncheon which was afterward tendered Dr. Washington was equally well attended. It was a most unusual event, to see so many and most influential women of the city assemble to applaud a member of the team. During Dr. Washington's stay in California, in Los Angeles and elsewhere, he was welcomed by Southern white men and women who have located here in contiguous areas, along with the native Californiaans. Dr. Washington's address a few evenings ago at the combined meeting of the Tuskegee Club and the Los Angeles Club, where people were turned away despite the fact that sons went to the church at 30' o'clock in the afternoon to be on hand for the event, not scheduled to begin until 8' o'clock. At Pasadena the colored people raised money for two scholarships at the Tuskegee Club of Los Angeles and the given money for a scholarship, but also collected $20 additional at the event being directed by Dr. Washington in a few days ago. The wizard's sojourn in Southern California has been a veritable triumph, the great cause for which he stands. (By Virginia Mallory.) Rev.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Hugh Th. Miller has been nominated for United States Senator by the Indiana Republicans along with the State ticket. Mr. Miller was formerly Lieutenant-Governor of the State. He is popular. He is opposed by ex-Senator Beveridge of the part of the Progressives, who is also popular in his party. This, of course, means a fine show for Senator Shively to stay where he is. It is not to be understood that the colored people of this country do not have first class advantages in railway coaches. Only in the South, where the race is in great numbers is what is called the "Jim Crow" system, and which means no more than the providing of separate cars for the colored people. The separate idea is none too troublesome. The race is a trouble. The coaches are poorly furnished lected and so forth. The race contends for properly equipped coaches. There can be no reasonable objection to this by the bitterest opponents of the race June 7th and 8th are the days set apart by Dr. Booker T. Washington as the time for asking the railroad of officials to look into the condition of the coaches in which colored people are expected to ride. The object is to remind the officials of the needed attention. It is thought that the changes will be made. The officials have already declared their willingness to do what is right and proper for their colored patrons. Jogging the memory will, nerdless, not go amiss. Great corporations as well as smaller ones, are none too eager to make improvements which mean a great outlay of money, even when well disposed. So it is up to us to fall not in doing whatever is possible to get the very much needed relief. Peace seems to be assured in the country's relation to Mexico. We had a war cloud all right, and it promised to spread and a lot of damage. Owing to contending elements in the situation, it is going to be difficult to deal with. But if patriotism is at the bottom of the trouble, patriotism will find a way out of it. As we see it, the government at Washington is interested in the welfare of Mexico and the Western Hemisphere. There are those, the jingotists, would see our country override Mexico because we are able to do so, having in mind its wealth which would come to us. Wisdom declares otherwise. It declares for those countries and peoples who are independent to remain so if it is their desire. Too much of the big me and the little you is no more to be thought of between governments than between individuals. Respect is to be expected. President Wilson, it now appeared, off the Western Hemisphere. He is also right in trying to bring peace between the warring factions. The thoughtful world is with him in these particulars. It is not interested in a program of spoliation and annexation. Some of the white publications have been talking about the good old dish of hog jowl and greens. We object; that dish, corn bread, that is, and a few more belong to the colored people. That every nation has its dish is just as true as that every nation has its flag. The Chinese can have their chop suey, the Italians their macaroni, the English their plum pudding, the Mexicans their chill, but kindly leave hog jowl and greens to us. A few white people who are up on satisfactory eating know something of this dish, and as they know of corn bread when it is right, but the most of them have no knowledge of them nor desire to know of them. And they are so good, when good, that we are not particular about telling them about those good "eats." First class hotels and the homes of the well-to-do have greens —all spinach or all kale or all dandelions. The good old colored mammy would not tolerate such grass. Combination of them all is the thing. Fashion, or town life makes it kind a difficult to get the old-time mess, but when the old lady gets real greens hungry right she arms herself with a short blade case-knife and a basket, and she a-greening goes. Cultivated mustard, wild mustard, dandelion, spinach, tops, turnip, tops, radish tops, poke, dock, horseradish tops, lambquarters and then some, are her quest and victory. She selects in proper proportion, crowning the whole business with a generous piece of hog jowl. Season to taste. Now take your time. According to a decision of the Supreme Court of New York last week the Negroes cannot be barred from the saloons of that State. The decision is in accordance with the Maly Civil Rights law. A Negro of New York City was charged fifty cents for a drink in a certain saloon. This refusal was construed a prohibition. The Negro carried the case to the court, a minor court, where he won, and at the same time was awarded $100. The saloonkeeper appealed to the Supreme Court, where the Negro was sustained. The argument on either side was extensive and thor- ough. In some localities courts could have rendered either way, and as they do, so ingenious were the contentions. But it was plain enough, the law's intent. And the Supreme Court had the necessary nerve to stand for the law and right even when a Negro was concerned. We are not saying that Negroes are going to be entertained at all of the New York bars. The right to them is conceded by the law, the court, whatever be the subterfuge that may prevent the enjoyment of such rights. In our racial struggle we do not advise the taking of every advantage. There are orders of men in spite of our inclination towards social democracy. There are conventional laws which must be fairly obeyed. This means the agreement of society. So groups of white men will be found frequenting certain places. But they are not legally barred frequenting where they choose. Some such condition should also obtain with the Negroes. THE AUTHOR OF OUR GOOD GIFTS Spring is something of a world's Santa Claus. It comes to us laden down with good gifts. And when we think long and careful of nature's bounty as evidenced in the springtime we think through the medium. Spring, to the great source, the sun, whose potentiality makes for the things Spring brings. In thinking of them both one cannot help passing over in the more spiritual realm, seeing something of that relationship of the Father of the world and the Son, including, possibly, that third subtle agency, making complete the two trinities. Whether many see things analogous are not we know this: that the sun has bound up in it all of those things that Spring pours out before us. If not the very material things, then the hope of the cause of the material. When the wife of Hector objected to him going beyond the walls of Troy to meet his Grecian enemies, she argued that her seven brave brothers had fallen, her mother and her father. But she saw them all in Hector, living. In event he lost his life she would lose all of those relatives again. These relatives, materially, were not in Hector. He was their spiritual essence. He was her sun in a way, holding the total power to cause happiness or grief to that little world over which he shined. Then in this connection we think of the beautiful and fitting lines of Richard Realf who in his poem "Indirection," proves to be the veriest fundamentalist. He insists on seeing cause and effect. He follows some lines of the poem which is such a happy combination of beauty and philosophy: Never a daisy that grows but a mystery gudeth the growing; Never a daisy that grows but a majesty scoops the flowing; Never a Shakespeare that soared but a stronger than that enfold him; Nor more a foretold that a migrator seer hath foretold him. Back of the canvas that throbs the painter is hinted and hidden; Into the statue that breathes the soul of the sculptor is bidden. Great are the symbols of being, but that which is created is created. Vast the create and behold, but vaster Vast the create and behold, but vaster the inward creator And after saying more fitting things he concludes with this sunburst of glory: And up from the pits where those shiver, and up from the hights where those shiver. Twin voices and shadows swim starward and the essence of life is divina. and the essence of it is divine. If one would go on with the poet's induction he would reason on beyond the sun to that greater thing which enfolds it—God. But we are not trying to establish the existence of the Divine All Ruler. We leave that to the theologist; yet we cannot see the nature of its existence, advances to its conception, making for the greater Master spirit and the lesser, the sun, which makes for this beautiful world in the springtime. We have not seen the theory advanced that the sun was to heat as the ocean is to the water. If, when the flowers die they, their colors are gathered into the rainbow, why not the heat gathered and regathered to the sun? The theory is good enough for mythology at any rate. Then as the ocean gathers its own, every drop of water to be spread over earth in refreshing rains, gurgling springs and babbling brooks, so the sun reclaims its heat, reserving as in a great reservoir and to be applied as needed. Who can dispute it in these days of "impossible possibilities"?

Some weeks ago we inserted an advertisement for salesman, and offered a salary of $9.00 a week to begin with. Since that time we have secured many; but still desire many more, and the same offer remains open to others. For reasons of our own, we do not care to here make mention of what we have to sell, but by way of explanation, we herewith reproduce the contents of a letter from a young lady salesman who had never thought of selling anything before. New York City, N. Y., April 24, 1914. Southern Distributor Co., Odd Fellows Auditorium, Atlanta, Ga.; Gentlemen—it affords me much pleasure to address you this letter, and to say that I have followed your instructions, and have succeeded beyond my fondest imaginations. When I answered your advertisement in The Freeman, I did it unknown to mother who would never have consented to my so doing had she known it. I received the salesman outfit on Saturday afternoon, and all day Sunday I stayed in my room and studied your proposition. The next day I made excuse to mother and went out to see what I could do. I cannot describe the first hour, approaching the first house. My mind is crowded with fear and misgivings, but I had resolved to make the attempt. When I pulled the bell I received my first surprise. I had always heard that people closed the door in one's face with insulting words. Instead, I was invited in as though I had come to call; was seated and made welcome. I at once began to recite the spiel I had learned from the booklet you sent, however, for I wanted to have the order deal as soon as possible. Although it took less than two minutes to say it, it seemed like two hours. When I was through I was so dreadfully frightened that I thought I would surely faint. And when I heard the lady say: "Remarkable; I'll take an order," and handed me the 25-cent deposit, I was too surprised to say "Thank you." And now after two weeks I find I have made more money than I thought I could ever make, and realize how very simple it is after all. I find it just a seasy to approach some one— objective, as it is to call on them to gossip the latest fashions. Mother had wanted me to accept a position in a doctor's office at three dollars a week, so you can imagine how she feels when I averaged that much daily, including the premium you allow in ad- dition to the price. Another thing that makes it so nice is that every day is a pay day since I will in deposits from $1.00 to $3.00 daily. Hoping you will secure many sales- men all over, I am. COMPLAINT FOR DIVORCE.

Salton building the Boven, playing two of the United Book offices—Largest houses in one. When an act goes into a booking and asks for work they say "Nothing doing today; call tomorrow. The act he says "send me a colored act." The agent says, "All the acts are working, knowing this to be a lie." It is a good way to get the colored houses for the colored performers every day, where a performer can make sixty-five weeks out of a year. Mr. Segal, the manager of the Circle Theater, will close the 27th. that is, Bob Slater is one manager that has no trouble in securing another house theater business from the front to the back. A certain act wrote an agent of a company that asked for a living salary, he wan- ted to know how many people were in the company, and he said he'd better let down the matter.

We regret to see that the Lafayette Theater is making such a nuisance of their Country Stores. Last Saturday night they handed out presents that were positively vulgar to some of its patrons. They must remember that later and gentlemen attend that the disgusting things as were presented there last night. Indeed, we are sorry that the Crescent is subject to the "Six Hundred seat vaudeville law" or shut down. But the managers are contemplating building a larger house to play some of the best colored acts in vaudeville. We will wait and see. It can't happen too soon.

Moore & you can't get away from keep on singing; you can't get away from keep on singing; Lewere was the big noise. For wooden soon dancing they seem to be the best of all.

Miss Lewere always sung in the emblems Blues," always sung in the emblems Blues," always sung in the emblems Dan Michael was in Philadelphia last week. A white agent struck Mr. Glb. He rehearsed the act, bought the tickets and had them on their way to Philadelphia, and then going to alain going some. Would Mr. Ofay do that?

Amon Davis, of Kelly & Davis, tendered a reception to the reporter of the Freeman. What is it that makes these boys work all the time? Summer Season. Conversation in the downtown booking office: Old Ace, to park agent—Would you like to rent a next season? Agent—Mr. Conley is fixing up a road show. Agent—Can't you fix me and my partner in on it? Agent—See Mr. Bradford; he does all the work. Old Ace—You know we worked for you last season. youth season. He's known, but Conley and Bradford are fixing up this show as per contract. It is to play all of our parks. Old Ace--But you place us; you know we are Agent--Sorry, but I am busy. See Mr. Conley or Mr. Bradford; here is my old Ace (on the street after leaving the office, to himself)-I guess it's solid with them alight; they must have been the connect. Conley & Bloem were at the opera in Wailingford, Conn. Reports were a big hit. Managers should book this act as they are very good, because I placed my glimpse. A.

Lincoln Harris, the well known author and producer, will appear at the Crown Garden theater, of Indianapolis, where Lincoln is an exponent of Shakespeare and other classics. He hopes to create a favorable impression among colored people, and he will use his way of drama, tragedy, comedy that are seen among cultivated people.

She is of good education and historic ability. Mr. Talbyboo is much, much. She showed to advantage in the "Colored Gents of the U. S. A." opportunity, ear ago. It proved her opportunity.

They played to a good sized audiences. The coming of this show was not advertised properly as their posters were not well designed. The audience of the city only. Had they been advertised properly they would have played to a record-breaking audience. The Freemason correspondent was informed that only half of the company appeared in Boston. Johnnie Peters and his dancing girls have gone into vaudeville, this week at the Old South theater. Anderson & Golins are at the Old Howard. Nora Goff is resting in Indianapolis this week.

Matt Marshall and Will Thomas, a good comedian, who is intelligent and has been a minstrel manager, made them a scream, as both actors were de- a dly. A few months later, the main- soubrette with a high alto voice, made a very good showing. Palmer, a White, a new team, made at least good impression and Sellman & Jack- made the biggest hit ever, in the dialogue. So, he should sing an “easier” song. The colored tango last Friday had Parker & Cross, winners; Jones & Carson and White & Simmons. Muriel Ringgold at the Monogram. Miss Muriel Ringgold, the funniest little colored girl on the stage, made famous in Ernest Hogan's "Rufus Rastus" company, made her first bow to the house and knew the audience into its fat, laughter when her appeared in ruffled frocklets and later in pants and danced like a boy. She is also a great mimic. Others on the olly are moreনمتیلبلیبیلبلی, full modern new goods.

Another bill of the pure food variety, unadultered by polluted indecency, is on the board at the Booker Washington water this week. Again, the public destitute that will be rottenness has reached its end; that artistic value shall receive appreciative reward. Gradually the colored vaudeville stage is ascending to the end of the day. The dailies of truth of Negro standard, a life which no one is willing to admit is less than decency. Suggestive and unclean acts are of the sewer, which must, by the same order, follow the same method of seek an outlet, and do not lead to re-finement. As to this week's bill it offers a pientitude of good strong stuff. Originality is the keynote. The most full-time monogist, singer and dancer, is playing his first engagement on a colored vaudeville stage. He is a finished straight performer, active and neat. His monogosis is rich and his buck dancing is spiced with quick and difficult contortions. Love & King have a novel opening that is original and goes big. Love is his first, the most big, the most big, the most big. I ain't a cripple, singing his own song. This is extremely humorous and takes the house by storm. Miss King's singing demands an encore. They are a playful voice and a crossfire dialogue that is a scream. Tim Owsley & Sam Davis "have much to be thankful for." They succeeded in delivering the goods where much was expected. Their new clean cut jokes are so humorous that one could laugh at them all night. Tim administers a knockout singing his own song, "Trombone Linktum Jones" and Sam repeats his recent song success here. They close with "Camp Meeting Band" and Davis in eccentric dancing going good and leaving the audience in hysterics. Davenport & Davenport have a good singing and dancing act full of good lively jokes. Their work takes well from the opening to the close. Mr. Davenport scores singing "Traveling Man" and "Pray for The Lights to Go Out." They have good voices with perfect enunciation and are an undeniable big hit with the crowds this week. Gray & Dunlop is a brand new van-deville team. Miss Dunlop is the well known Dr. Dunlop of Llanapolis. They will join hands after the closing of the Southern Smart Set season. They will go on D. O. K. time. AT THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER Owsley and Gaillard, Mgrs. The Crown Garden theater presents a show by Elvira Johnson is a favorite. She is showing with Iwrin C. Miller, also a show by Elvira Johnson, known to the Crown Garden patrons Rose Gordon is a new one. Peat & engagement of a week or so ago. Irwin C. Miller. Elvira Johnson The appearance of this team Monday night was the signal for a burst of Elva Johnson, who long ago established herself as a favorite at this house. The applause was also partly clausing in connection with her classy acting in connection with the team of Miller & Bigou was remembered. They open with a breezy number, singing "This is the Life." They are on splendid stage appearances and as they sing "At the Ball," a number that goes big. She does this in fine style, in making a fine effect. Miller helps in making a fine effect. "The Bells" after the well known play which is done by the great actors, by Elva Johnson, is tremendely costumed which adds to the tragedy of his circumstance when the destruction—those tragic saints of that memorable night. It is a splendid bit of singing and acting. The rest of the tango. Here is where Miller is at home. Miss Johnson was the new to her part. This song was. At the Million Dollar Tango Dance." Cumby & Warfield do some good taking stunts—singing, dancing and pantomime. Cumby is particularly fond of music and bouquet singing between them is good. It would be better still if Warfield would talk his part as Cumby does. Rose Gordon follows a line of good soloists. Some three or four have been here the previous weeks. She has been very great them. "In the Garden of My Heart," "Isle de Amour," "Bring Me Back My Loving Honey Boy." Peat & Hayes are giving their usual satisfaction. STRING BEANS STOPPED THE CARS. Butter May, known as String Beans, stopped the car in front of the Unique theater, Detroit, Monday night. Peo-ton plays the town to see the only String Beans. He play at this house two weeks and then some more. His songs are screams from start to finish, and his biggest is the "Blues." He got his all right. NOTES OF J. M. BUSBY'S MIN- STRELS.

Gunthers Lose 4 to 0—Big Crow Attend First Game of the Season—"Diamond Monroe" Knocks Three-bagger—Lloyd and Hill Go Big in the Day's Rally—Interview on Foster's Western Trip—St. Joe, Mich., to Play Next Sunday Giants Park. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, Ill., April 29.—(Special)—Semi-pro. baseball was formally opened last Sunday in Chicago and the American Giants took the first game from the Gunthers, at the Giants Park, day the score of to 0. it was a pretty day and one made especially for baseball. Not only was every seat in the grand stand taken but over 200 people went away because they could not get seats in the boxes. The American Giants arrived in the city on Saturday morning from their Western trip, and aside from three, all were in excellent form. The first game of the season was well advertised and long before 1 o'clock crowds were seen surging to the park. Street cars were crowded and every available automobile and taxi on the South Side was put into commission for this occasion. "Rube" Foster was among the first to arrive. The famous baseball pitcher and maker of ball players had not seen Mr. Schorling. since his return and most of the day he takes up in transacting business affairs, he is often time to don his uniform, but the boys in the dorms. His grand was brigade to behold. All over the park could be seen ladies in various shades. Each seemed to vie for the point of dress. Hats that seemed to be Paris creations were there by the hundred. From the monster crowd Sunday this week to the season in the history of organized sports. Wade Pitches Great Game The large crowd was full of excitement. It was ready for a good game. We was put on the mound and Bookwell was put on the mound. We will remember, is the young "Vip! I'm a new made such a wonderful record last year," he said. Foster took him West, where he also was big. The Gunthers blanked the first thing made up of the rest, for that matter. Then, their opinions came to the bat. "Diamond" Monroe, the favorite batter of the "Billy" Adams, became the hero of the dazzling "Snoo" to some thoughter over in deep run, but he was not quickly thoroughbred making those three a two-year-old. He came to the bat and sent the pillar to the base of the section and made a two-year-old bagger. To cap it, the man's world's greatest shortstop who was with the New York Giants last year had been with a wonderful record here and who is not the one of the "Giants," came to the bat. He was given a reception. The crowd waved their hats and theว่า Firm and resolute, he should be the ball. The man's line was strong, and these were followed by his frogs. Barber, Duncan and Gans. Our boys were all so good. Gans grabbed three in deep left field, and there was a third and Barber ten at first. Joe Bradshaw tried to pitch some of Winningham's ball to the bat, they would not make good. DeLancaster was the place and from then on was a much less than the old man. In the seventh inning the Giants brought another score and the first game of the "Giants scoring the first victory of the season." r. h. po. a. e.

In an interview with Mr. Foster in the office Sunday, he said to the Freewood club, "I'd never have to have a baseball club ever traveled under more favorable auspices than the American Giants. The white papers gave us co-taxes to all my teams. We've been to see us daily, even thought I was as important as President Wilson from the United States." He said he thought me, and I tried to be the best of them. Why did you not see some of the interviews I gave out? The Associated Press said he had a fine trip just as I did think we had a fine trip, or I think we had a fine trip to the " Hills-We had a Fullman's sleeper and diner from Jacobsville and back to Chicago and atos in every city. It was a great விளக்க of the great defeats. What cited did you plan in, " asked the representative. He said: "Santa Maria, Watsonville. Santa Maria, Watsonville, and the other city.

It was the longest spring traveling trip of any team of seasoned players to travel in 1988 and were given a big reception in every city. Everything was arranged on a统一arrival and a subcontract before leaving. For with a big look-up home and to see the old diamond looking in such first-class condition. Lloyd, who is the top player with the most strong team ever. It is a known fact, however, that the other teams we will play with. It was a very good time to be on the other team. Putting the line up, and then all, but are not always been ill, but are much better. As soon as they reached the Windy City and the home to the lake water they began to pick up. Next Sunday. Next Sunday the St. Joe, Michigan team will play the Giants. Game called at 3:30 p. m.. Box seats reserved by phone. Lewisisms Williams, who has been with "Rube" Foster on his Western trip, has gone home to play with the New York Lincolnns. Geokie, the well known umpire for the American Giants last season, was named the league captain. He is now with the Federal League. Barber, who was called "Blue Eyes" did a standout voice on Sunday. She is out of the city but will be here before the season is over. Lloyd, the world's greatest shortstop, did some good work Sunday. It is a treat to see him in action. He has no people. Lindsey, Dougherty and Petway have been on the sick list but are reported being over 200 people went away Sunday because they did not get seats in the box. Sporting Editor Young, of the Defender, was among those who sat in the "press stand" on Sunday. He is one of the cleverest writers of the "Ever Faithful Booker" was right on the job Sunday. Seldom does he let a ball pass him and was never knocked out. "Hard times," as some claim, did not have any effect upon the crowd Sunday. Had it been just a trifle warmer, would have been a record breaking crowd. "Billy" Adams and Howard F. Gallin were among the first to have their regular box seats right near the "press Little "Hillie" and his mother, as usual, occupied boxes. Young Hill is right on the job with applause when his "dad" makes a good play. Duncan and Gans did some good field work. When they cover wood, they use a tractor. Andrew Glimore, one of the best known railroad men in the city, was at the game Sunday, accompanying Miss Hazel Glimore and Mrs. Annice Johnson. Mr. Glimore was out West several days ago, and he was the "Old Scout," as he is termed by those who know him, surprised the American Giants by being the biggest fan at the game. He was a man of great courage and men and it looked as though a special train load have come to be rooters for the American Giants. Throughout the game, he was the most praised of his Chicago boys and his presence was like an oasis in a desert. Mr. Glimore was well known in Western trip. He said all along the Western States nothing but the highest praise was given Mr. Foster and his stalwart team. He said and even time of him in the city, at the park I will be."

Next comes Buddy Lomax, the eccentric dancing kid, and a band made here for us, which makes the big show with the gold band the best of its kind traveling under canvas. Our orchestra plays the music of the Blues, and the gold band is rendering "Poet and Peasant" and "William Woolcott" to our pleasure of our leader, Prof. Anderson. Our manager, Mr. F. S.

Wee Willie Nelson, extreme end man, takes the mouse by the hand, and he plays "Blues" in style that any person would be contented to sit and listen no matter how astidulous they may be. Mr. Wm.

(By J. W. West, Gen. Agent.) We are now in the heart of the great Mississippi delta playing to what? Well, if I were to pattern after others who write articles of this kind, I would be a business student, a business business, a book, a book as an, mopping of the etc., but as I am only writing facts in this article will say that we are doing the most of the work, and we are doing the year, and weather conditions; not losing any money but getting acquainted with this new territory for the year and the year, but the time for the trail for a return trip. Mr. Huntington is not in the habit of jumping from one side of the United States to the center of the country, covering up the town completely with all kinds of glowing advertisements putting the whole show in the public space. It is not all of the inhabitants and working them up to a white heat, and then they come that night falling over one another in their own way. The man who is the manager of said show stands off with his thumb hooked under his suspenders, puffing away a two-bit cl衛ers of the world, the first thing that he is going to give these chumps and he's enough two-thirds of the crowd. The man who is the first one in the high-level over and the rest come out cursing and swearing that they will never be stung again by any colored show. The book should be a good one. The man who is the first one in the high-level, his self with the idea of "I will let them rest for a couple of years and they will forget about the time" I am a man. This is probably all right for the time being, but what about the future and for the poor sucker that is the him. The man who is the business in general but a lot of his time is the business in general. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Yours for better management. SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASS ING. (Dy Salem Tutt Whitney, Smart Set Company.) The following homily is from the pen of Elbert Hubbard, the courageous editor of "The Phillistine." It was handed to me by a white gentleman, P.O. E. and so imbued with the true spirit of the fraternity that he will fraternize with a brother Elk wherever met, questioned, or visited, national or previous condition of servitude. This gentleman is also a constant reader of The Freeman. He was impressed with the work of the Freeman, so he met to it to the Freeman, so that the Colored members of the fraternity and readers of the Freeman were invited to visit this commendable sermon. With greetings to my friends Dr. W. Atkins, Hon. Frank Wheaton and members of the fraternity I submit the following exhortation: THE HONORABLE ELK. "The faults of our brothers we will write on the sands; Their virtues on the tablets of love An Elk takes his medicine—sometimes with a rive face—but he always takes his medicine as he is always to it; and if he trips and falls he is up and joins in the laugh of the by-mindedness of his own person who can laugh at himself. The Elk stays right in the game: I never heard of one retiring from business. When White calls to an Elk, Elk is a part first to sell him a bill of goods, and then they shake the dice of the loss—who has not seen to pry into the future, for he realizes perfectly well that if he waits, he'll know all about it—he has to be a man. He does not chase after women, for he knows if he doesn't, women will chase after him. And there do not seem to be the same danger that this will evolve into a religion. Most religious people take their religion seriously. But the same cases are more clear: He knows that truth is a point of view, that all is relative, that nothing is final nor absolute, nor can it be a more of every thing. No need to permanent the change. So the Elk's religion is now and here; to partake of all good things in moderation; to do it with the same things. But the more these things come back: and to supply a scrap only to the man who repeatedly asks for it, and will accept nothing. To do it, he is the most effective mediation. To do good is the first prong of an Elk's creed. And he does not, he does not, in the way he is to benefit yourself is to benefit others. As for myself, I am strictly on the hose-cart, so do not affiliate with the with the but-downs who are being used to borrow for twenty-mebbe. I'd tackle the fact of I am my work. I am the one of explanation. And my needs would be to him a command, for he is not clannish and he knows no higher boy. And he does not know that he has Playing the Booker Washington Theatre.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TER, PHILADELPHIA. As usual with a holiday bill, Manager John T. Gibson this week put over his large audiences the cream of all of the talent, of which was of entirely different quality from the others, excepting for the laughs that the Lillards provide themselves the of any and presented a bright and smooth medley of singing, dancing and patter. Their singing was pleasing and shiny, their singing shiny and lissomess that the devotees of terpsichore are expected to possess in their songs. Four, who specialize dancing more than anything else, pleased. The singing to enjoy, the company is made up of three men and one woman. Lewis and two popular tun provokers, entertained by the company, are able and pleasing to the audience, but her preponderance of tone at times was too much for the ear.

The bill was rounded out by Henderson and Smith's band of ten pieces, bass drum, who is hilariously funny, the act merges into a scene on the beautifully, and during the resume the entire band of ten amuse the audience with a reproduction of old slavers dancing and songplaning songs. The company plays with spirit, and the act surprises, and during the surprise, if it has some other less pleasingity, this is more or less lost in the vitality of the fast going. Plenty of the lives of our people as they used to be enjoyed, and where it touches the lives of our people as they used to be enjoyed, and where it is still brilliant with its paradises and the humor of its revelations.

Spokane, Washington --- FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE NEGRO BASEBALL PLAYERS AND THE BIG LEAGUES - RUBE FOSE SAYS THE DOOR IS SEAMLY OPEN. (By Billy Lewis.) Rube Foster, in an interview with a newspaper man gave it out a few days that "Before" he was a ball player, so rolls around colored ball players, a score board, and are equal in ability to brightest stars in the big league team will be holding down jobs in organized has about saying it emphatically. It goes without saying it soundly, that Foster's opinion soundingly good to the "poor down-trod-mighty good players who have to do so" for the following in order to do so much "till". But the fact is that the man is, that Rube has drawn the man in the form of the better part on his imagination. For as much as I hope, of his opinion, players and people hope and be so good to be so good to be so good to be so. For the color of players for the days for the colored players for the nothing to warrant what there is nothing to be. Foster is having time for his life, rising about in special cars, and his life, and naturally enough with the distinguished consideration paid him and the bunch of players, he feels to give out something worth while. Rube Foster nor the rest of us should expect to see any change in the small situation until there is a generalரகial change. This may be, for considered theory, merely. Well, a fact is, that all of the people and not breaking into the our people and there's no talk of big leagues, they breaking into the big leagues, and there is not the slightest indication that they are needed. This sounds rather severe, yet it is the truth, and that they are not to be the same as if they want it. It may not make us free from want it. It may not be just on, whatever as it is so often listed on, whatever is the most will make us sensible. to watch as the foregoing appears it has nothing to do with the playing ability of the players, but rather with the writers long ago conceded that they were colored baseball players who played the game equally to those who were not. The players who earned $2,000 plus per annum, and an old story why these competent men are not registered in the great leagues, or negroes to play with the leagues in the last few years than formerly. And the situation has not been without change, as distinctly apart. Out of it is growing race respect, more of it. Our players are being appreciated by the race, and we are thrown here and there among the great white teams. Of course this does not mean much more isolation than we have greater distinction and pay. But since there's no hope along this line until there's hope along all lines we do just as well to give our players a greater gain under the circumstances. Taking On Cubans. I am indebted to the Post Intelligence of Seattle, Washington, for the interview considerable of which follows: "We're taking in Cubans now, you notice. Rube says, and they'll let us in soon. Remember last year when there was so much fun because we were running a team team." Well, listen. Rube showed a row of even white teeth, and his 262 pairs of teeth were more negroes on the team than there were Cubans. It is generally known that the negroes stand last in the list of accession countries, and they speak to speak of the preference shown for the Cubans. It is right, all right. Nevertheless, Cubans, Indiana, praises the Cubans, and they speak to speak. Of course they are not in the class with the colored players, who are absolutely without If the management were inclined to take on the good ones among the coloured players, they could not do so with impunity. The box office is more often the dictator of terms than so think if we had a veritable Ty Cobb among us, and no one cared to see him what would it matter? Foster is positive that he has the greatest player in the world in Lloyd, the 200-pound shortstop. “If you don't believe it, wait until he gets into the big league—then watches the Barrys, the Wagners and the Tinkers sweat to keep their jobs.” It's a the boost for Lloyd, coming as it does from the famous Rube himself, you we all know that if Lloyd was two when he is the good be no good unless it were the general sentiment that a man was a man for a that. No one is particularly to blame. Prejudice came to the white Americans like an bathroom and men are but grown up children; that is, retaining much of what became their earliest observatious experiences, not to speak of the direct teachings. Foster Puts Over a New One. Foster Puls Over a New One. Poster Puls has been organized baseball in the United States with the name of the team in the态 of the Federalists were playing, to take the crowd. It was a year before the new season that had been a long-term baseball, that several big fellows got together and decided to put the league on a new game. It was a big league to have the same privilayers were to have the same privilaries and be governed by the national media. The black teams draw enormous awards for their role as the idea would have been a good one. It had been carried out. But last fall, when it was not to be seen in the league, and it was not thought that nothing could be feared from the team. It��itazes gave up the plan. Before the team was not so尖端, and consequently knows what he is making about. But I confess my heart is not as big as I think. Not all that it was important that I should have heard of the one feels to know about things that I think. It was the same way that the team was very reasonable to think that he is not the only one to relate to the class of ballbets, and still live. Well it was a poor job at any rate, true or fiction. We are so much, colored baseball clubs are coming, he's never so no one's desire to see he's more clubs, complete. It means that the business spoken of is being a dismal failure of all the sounding child-children out that fact. When a white club and a little club meet there is considerable interest. When some of the members of the schools, from 1 to 2 per cent in the态 of the White. In Californians and the west, generally, it is always a attendance is much better. In fact it is scarcely a difference in the at-the-way way. For this and the comparatively more for the and the the. amount of the foregoing doubtless, china. It is an argument against mixed object to show up the true situation, the object being to make the most of it as not be able to make the most of it as the proper conception of things. There are managers who would gladly take on something by way of advancing their skills as said before it is the box team teams that make. Managers of base-team teams. The man on the bleachers and the man on the grand stand are together, the man on the course. This, of course, is a big mess, but our them they must know about the players entering the league. That's the question. Lee, champion star pitcher of the Cincinnati, announced that he will play in fine form. He would like a position in the out of Cincinnati.

Wares badly updressed and in, up and in. Another punch of any kind would have floored Wares in the first round of the game. He beat rights and left to the next. He beat care's kidneys in the next three rounds, until Wares tongue was hanging out. Battling Jim Johnson is reported to have signed a two years' contract with New York sporting man to fight all opponents. Care's kidneys is to be paid a regular weekly salary, and will not receive any of his wins. Butte, Mont, seems to be a good city for boxing, for the bout there between Jack Dillon and Battling Levin. Dillon night attracted a crowd which bought eight tickets for $16,400. Dillon drew down $2,600 which was 25 per cent. while Levinsky got $3,120, which was 30 per cent of the house. SAN FRANCISCO—Harlem Tom Mammia, who was defeated by Willie Ritchie the last week of Friday a week ago, has been matched for a twenty-round bout here in July with Freddie Welsh, the British champion. The date will be fixed later. PERU, April 26—The Indianapolis Tells were defeated here by Peru Grays this afternoon, 5 to 4. Score: Peru.....3 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 9 Tells.....3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Batteries—Lindy, and Romary; Hassel and Schwab. Ben Knox, of Chincinnati, O, has re- organized the third hard Centrals of that city. That city is the team that won Charley Grant's trip by defeat- ing the five best colored teams in Chinc- napolis. The players have been add- ed. The management should good clubs. He prefers the Indianapolis A. B. C's and the West Baden Spruels. According to reports from England, Bombardier Wells, the English heavy- weight, has a pretty good arrangement with the man who is looking after his business interests and which differs consider- ably. This is which body usually perform. It is said that bodies is under the management of James White, a well-known sporting man— perhaps a bookmaker who pays Bom- ardier Wells. He does which per- week, $125 in American money. White also pays the training expenses he has big English fighter. Wells does not win the wins, nor any of the money he earns by giving exhibitions in theaters. Some one speaking of Dillon, who is slated to take on Gunboat Smith, said he was a Smith ranks along with Sam Larkin, and other heavies, and he makes a specialty of blasting white hopes, as well as taking on an fighter weighing from 158 to 176 pounds. Speaking of Norton—some time ago he whipped Kid Kenneth, andustrina Kenneth Rooked out art, Polkey, the slayer of Luther McCarthy. Plans for the new baseball park of the New York American league baseball team, at Kingsbridge, N. Y., call for a grandstand seating 20,000 persons. The open stands, extending beyond the right and left field foul posts, will have grandstand seating for 5,000 standees to see the games from the surface of the field. Ebbets field has begun. The ground of Ebbets field has been completed that the stadium must be completed in September. Says that as the American league schedule winds up Chance's local season on Labor day, excepting a few games, the club will formal opening of the field will not take place until next year. HUDSON, Wis., April 24—Johnny Tillman, of Minneapolis, had a shade over Ad Wolgast in the ten-round bout here last night. Five rounds were even, and the other five were Tillman's. The Tillman blood from the Bearcat's nose in the third, and from that time on used his long left effectively. Fans—Who was the originator of baseball? Kindly give a history of the game, its evolution, and it is not always possible to fix the exact date of their first game, a race to catch a ball to an old English ball rounders, which dated from the eighteenth century. Rounders was played with a bat and a glove, sided figures, the points being called bases, first to fourth and home base. Rounders was caught on the fly or on the first bounce or when he was struck by having his foot caught on the middle of the pentagon; the batsman ran the bases and scored a run if he made the circuit without being hit. Rounders was caught on the fly or on the first bounce or when he was struck by having his foot caught on the middle of the pentagon; the batsman ran the bases. Rounders was played in this country before the revolutionary war, and baseball may have been played long time coming. The game as now played is essentially of American or foreign origin, the two old cat, three old cat, four old cat, town ball and bullpen. The Washington baseball club, the first known, was founded in 1845 by the Kickerers, the first national association was organized in 1858, and the first convention was held in Philadelphia in 1857, about five hundred organizations being represented. The game had arrived, and the first national origin —From the Indianapolis News. KID McOvY LANDED K O. PUNCH STORIES OF THE RING NEW YORK—There are more good stories about Kid McCoy than can be contained in this is because the Kid had a very unusual brain. Other men who met him found it impossible to father the Kid might do next. He was full of surprises. He is even today, for who had career, at this moment matched to fight Carmenter, the sensational champion of Europe? Here's a story, however, that you've quickest knockout that ever won a championship. In fact, I'm not at all sure but that was the story of the quickest knockout that ever won a championship. In fact, I'm not at all sure but that was the story of Jack Hawkins over Martin Flaherty at Carson, long supposed to be the world's record. Jack O'Brien went to England and was the story of Jack's success as a money-getter in the English ring that attracted Kid McCoy. At any rate the challenge to O'Brien. Jack had engagements in the United States and he left the field to play in the World Cup, but was no business proposition for him to fight McCoy. Both he and McCoy were making money easily, and if they met one or the other might became a has- McCoy, as a new invader of repute, was given a chance to show what he knew. He was a good player. The Kid was a nice, pleasant-looking fellow, with a soft smile and a gentlemanly air and a slender elegance that made him a sluggish slugger. After looking the Kid over they were more than willing to fight him, in spite of his reputation. His first engagement was the Whitechapel. His second, the best-known club in London, although the best-class club in the class of the National Sporting Club. Tip Was Left to Stomach. McCoy was matched to fight four rounds each with two men. One was Jack Palmer. The other was Sandy Fegruson. Sandy was from Boston, but with the aid of an accent picked up on the Boston docks he was at that time posing as an English "hope" and effectively beating up all comers. Sandy was 6 feet 3 inches, weighed 230 pounds and was still in his youth and not burned out by dissipation. Truth to tell, he was one hard citizen for any country. On the night of his fights Kid McCoy met Palmer, who offered to "He down", and suggested that McCoy might "give him the time" when he thought Palmer THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER had been on his feet long enough. McCoy simply smiled. McCoy simply boxed lightly for a round and then, with that well-known one-sided and sarcastic Palmer deliberately and hooked a leaf into his stomach with all his might. Palmer deliberately and hooked a leaf into his stomach with all his might. Palmer deliberately and hooked a leaf into his corner and wait for the next victim. Naturally, Palmer was out. McCoy smilingly waiting, swaggered Jack Scale, then heavy-weight champion of England, with whom McCoy was to be matched. Palmer made booming and matching Ferguson. Scales face was flushed a dark red. Leaning through the crowd, occubular his remarks of somewhat treasonous trade was that no despised American would lick him in four rounds, as McCoy had just whipped Palmer. There was alit a flush on McCoy's palid face when Scales had finished. But his expression had not changed. McCoy, sarcastic smile. Now Scales had a vocabulary of unaccented enough along the London docks. But he didn't have any originality. McCoy did, and when he looked at Scales a few times, he realized he addressed himself to the British brusser in that soft, low voice, what a shrewd and intelligent man, finished with a polite invitation for Mr. Scales to step into the ring and be knocked out himself. "Go get apped," said McCoy. "Til wait for you." the management was quite willing to put on another bout, since McCoy Scales was more money, flesh and money, Scales was enriched through fleece for nothing. So Ferguson was told to wait, and the English champion, stripped and clothed in the toggery costume, and he went to the court. There were short introductions and Scales suggested that the customary handshake be left out, as he wouldn't soil his glove on the bloomin' Yank. So they softened that the proposition suited him. They retired to their corners. Up leaped McCoy. He was half way across the ring and going at full speed by the time Scales reached his feet. He grabbed the rope and drew back his trusty right for a terrific wallop when McCoy got there. Like a flash McCoy's left hook shot the jaw. But there was such fury in the blow that it lifted him and threw him out, but McCoy, whose ropes were out, only in that sarcastic smile, managed to drive in two more blows before the champion reached the floor. The wound was an uppercut that turned him half a somersault, and when they picked him up from the ring. McCoy, smiling his crooked, twisted smile, walked back to his corner, hardly glancing at deliberately sat down and yawned. McCoy Didn't Wait. He was still looking bored when he cooy polished htm off in four rounds. He was to have one more adventure. Some one had tipped him that it might be well to collect his share of the recollection, but it was not possible. Without going to the dressing room the foxy Kid slipped around to the box office and stepping in to the dressing room. He confronted the started official who had just finished counting the money. "My share," said the Kid, "sounds. I am going to get it." An helped lift the plume, counted swiftly, turned and, sliding out again, dodged through a side room and a side door, reached the front door. He was still in his fighting suit, with a bathrobe over his shoulders. A friend had already taken his clothes off, and he walked the cab, which he had been holding. McCoy dressed while crossing London, and a few hours later, with a grip full of banknotes and coins, was on a boat crossing the channel for France. A. B. C.'S PLAYING WINNING BALL Defeat Indianapolis Specials in an Interesting Game. The A. B. C.'s met the Indianapolis Specials last Sunday at the Northwestern Park and worsted them in an exciting battle that resulted in 4 to 3. The features were not so plentiful as there were the other games, although there were a few exciting times. One of these was when the white lads made their first attempt and had not scored, and very natural thing since the A. B. C.'s play a stronger game. This run was not as good as the creditable to the Specials, since the runner took a chance of running over the A. B. C. catcher. He took this chance and then taken the ninth Specials scored twice owing to errors on the part of the A. B. C.'s. Then when the ninth Specials was steady, that of the A. B. C.'s was confident. Whitehouse for the visitors, pitched a good ball; regular as a clock. "We Scotland, "Old Forty-Five," as he is called, distinguished himself in center. He caught most beautifully, eating up "everything that came his way." Sapho and Watts were the battery in the eighth and ninth. They were the only players in the game who so came very nearly costing them their reputation. The main error was the fact that they care anything about that. Everything is charged up to the pitcher and catcher. Roger Taylor announced that the game next Sunday would be with the team of Peru, Ind. A close, exciting game is expected this is the team that beat the T. T.'s in a game last Sunday. The attendance on last Sunday was being increased and appreciative. The Specials came in for applause when they did anything worth were increasing in their attendance. Taylor has signs all over the place demanding respect for them.

Total Investment to Date, $2,560,000, Including Advances to players. For a band of men thought by major league magnates to be nothing but a mere tool, they have been spending a pile of money. Asked for an estimate of the cash already spent or tied up since the league became a major league team, the result with pencil and paper and the result was an announcement that proved astonishing. To Glirius the cash tied up up to today is $2,560,000, and in order to show just where the millions have been placed the league leader prepared the statement which is as follows: Brooklyn, stands $ 200,000 Brooklyn, grounds 300,000 Chicago, grounds 600,000 Chicago, grounds 320,000 St. Louis, grounds 250,000 St. Louis, stands 75,000 Indianapolis, stands 600,000 Indianapolis, stands 70,000 Buffalo, stands 40,000 Buffalo, grounds 90,000 Baltimore, stands 75,000 Baltimore, stands 75,000 Pittsburgh, stands 40,000 Pittsburgh, grounds 200,000 Kansas City, stands 60,000 Kansas City, stands 15,000 Advance to players 260,000 All Present-Day Champions Have Been Beaten. Are They Are Undefeated. To the average man in the street the title of 'champion' suggests an achievement, but he has progressed from victory to victory until he stands undefeated at the top. That the hauler wearer's name should ever have been associated with issuance of a title unlikely, yet the regular ring-side patrons are for the most part fully aware that not all fans singing from big Jack Johnson and Gunboat-Smith to little Johnny Coulon, has attained his title, hearing a referral against him. Not Less Fortunate. This does not, however, indicate that our modern title holders are less fortunate or of inferior pugilistic quality than those who have won over the annals of fistiana proves clearly that the champion who fights his way to the head of the field is not the reverse is a rare individual indeed. Out of twenty-nine champions who have reigned in the various grades since the late 19th century, the few were substituted for the bare knuckles and London prize ring methods only have reached the summit of slugging records. These were respective unmarried records. The Sullivan, Jack McApliffe, Kid Layigne, George Dixon and Jim Jeffries. To win 7, 1882, when Sullivan won the trophy championship by knocking out Paddy Riemann by knocking in nine rounds, Louisiana City in nine nights of March 10, 1882, when he lost to Corbett at New Orleans, the big Bostonian never met a defeat. Nor in his career, Ryan, which began engagement with Ryan, included battles in both the old and new cluded battles in both the old and new battles, did John L meet with his superstar. Black Mark Against Jim. His conqueror could boost of a fairly clean slate, yet there stands one black mark against Corbett, a verdict given five rounds before the Ariel Club Francisco in 1886. Corbett could not be rated as a novice at the time, as among his victories scored eight victories, among his victories six known men as John Donaldson and Martin (Buffalo) Costello. in a return to James J. redeemed himself by knocking himself in one round. From then until defeated by Bob Fitzsimmons in fourteen matches at Jarson City, March 17, 1897, Corbett at Jarson contests without losing a decision Three months before leaving Australia, or this country Fitzsimmons met Jemian Hale, or the midweight championship of midpies. The bout took place February 10, 1880, and Fitz was knocked out in rounds. On December 2, 1888, Fitzsimmons won eight-round decision to Tom Sharkey at San Francisco on a so-called foul.

Breedlove, Class Orator for the Champaign High School Won Second Place in Oratorical Meet. (By Z. J. Breedlove) Hilmius intercollegiate and extempore speaking contest, District No. 3, was at the University of Illinois School at Gibbon Illinois, Illinois, Friday, April 24, 1914. The wife, Breedlove, the eminent orator of the Champaign High School, and brother to Z. L. Breedlove, the Freeman representative, won second place in the place. Breedlove's oration was entitled "The Riddle of the Black Man," selected for thought and composition, while Breedlove's was delivered in a selected ordination, showing ordination delivered by Breedlove. "The Riddle of the Black Man." History tells us that the ancient American colonists called the Sphinx who stood by the side of the road, propounding to every man who passed, a riddle. If the man could not solve it, he would be forced to he could solve it, he was permitted to pass in safety. Ladies and gentlemen, we have in our midst a Sphinx which propounded the riddle. "What shall we do with the Negro?" This great question cannot be turned aside lightly. It is a problem that must be immediately attention. The mutterings of the race war are echoed even in the halls of Congress, and the race line is being drawn in the government offices before. In the government offices, whites and blacks may no longer work side by side. On the other hand ten million Negroes, constituting almost one-half of the population of the Southern States, are the mainstay of the cultural export; hence they are bound up with our economic welfare. Their number is so large and the mainstay of their thinking men diamonds, as visionary, any solution of the Negro problem which contemplates their removal to other lands. Their problem must be solved. Briefly stated, the problem is to cement the friendship of the two races, between them. Let us not shirk the fact that the Negro has grave faults. Some have been bestial in character. Some Negroes are shiftless and unreliable. The mad acts of one black pugilist outraged our society. But let us be fair in our judgment. Remember that this race has felt the influence of free civilization for just some things might be said in favor of the Negro; of his advance in literacy from fifty-two to sixty-seven per cent of the population in our home. But after all is said, we must admit that he has made only a beginning up with the white population in fifty years. The question that I bring before you is this, how are we going to solve his restrictive policies, restrictive policies, restrictive policies, born of race hatred, solve them? Let us examine some of the charges brought against the Negro, and the policies based on these The foes of the black only set up a straw man, when they assert that he has the power to impose mixed marriages in the United States is almost negligible. Booker T. Washington speaks for his people when he says that "the Negro is not the subject to understand that the agitation of the question of social equality is the exertion it may be understood that no discussion of the Negro problem can ignore the political complication for which he is involved. It is not damning for political advancement. It is more important for him that he be prepared to exercise his political power. Grady's assertion that " he will cast a free ballot only when he can indicate his support for the slave service, and but what shall we say of the new economic policies of the South? In his work on the Southern farms, the Negro is not the subject to a sizable service, and yet North Carolina seriously proposes to limit his humble land holdings so that he may not be viewed as the man that the voter any section are willing to grant him. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are practically denied him under But a more sinister attack is found the selfish desire of some of the white states. In Georgia the white and black are about equal in number, and yet two times as much of the white are for the black. Two-thirds of the Negro children are white, and two-thirds of the white are determined opposition to the success of the higher schools for the Negro. The Negro is the only year to provide agricultural extension work all over the nation avowedly exudes a sense of the Governor Blease is to prohibit white teachers in Negro schools. Ladies and gentlemen, the Negro must have in order to rise, that thing is education. His worst faults have increased his ability to the opportunity to acquire an education and your fear of him as a menace, socially, politically, and economically. There are those selfish men who would keep him forever in poverty and ignorance; who would perpetuate his status as a disbelief. What they want of him is humble, servile labor. Disregarding the bloody cost of securing his nominal liberty, they would make an economic slave. We keep him in a economic slave. We shall not solve the Negro problem on any such basis. These men forget that the Negroes have heard the whisper of labor in a long-time service. Our policy with the Negro will most certainly and most profoundly react upon us. Will a Christian people be deaf to the pitiful cry of summary Femaleism? If we are so far from slavery which is slowly moving up from slavery? If there are those who will not hear that cry, let them listen amid the illness of the night. If the voice is message from the three hundred thousand graves under the starlight of the Southland. Let them catch an echo from the dumb lips of the black-skinned man who is heptip in his tomb in Springfield, when he says that "this government cannot endure permanently, half slave, and half free." Let us make a new application of his power with charity for all. If America will but do equal justice, be simply Christian, love, sympathize and not hate, her Sphinx will be answered, and the other of the old will lead into the abyss of the past. Z. L. Breedlove accompanied his brother to Gibson College, Illinois, Friday, and then to Bethel church; "The Three-fold Blessings That Come to Us Through Jesus Christ," was the theme of the meeting of the Sunday school, Earl Watkins of Decatur, third assistant district superintendent.

THEODORE PORTTEUS FOR SHERIFF A Man Who Believes a Public Office a Public Trust Has Made a Model Sheriff. At the coming primaries the Democrats of Marion County will have an opportunity to cast their votes for the nomination of a man whom they think is best fitted and qualified to manage. We advise the duties of the office of Sheriff. During the year 1913, in addition to the vast amount of labor incident to the care and upkeep of the jail and its prisoners, the keeping of the official records, sales of real estate and many other goods, the Shares and his duties, under order of the various Courts, traveled of 70,920 miles and served 28,750 documents, not including the transfer of the insane to asylum and prisoners to penitentiaries. Thus is Office has many duties and large responsibilities, and for this reason the taxpayer should see to it this office is kept in the hands of an honorary officer and staff of the servant. If the people are not willing to nominate a man whom they have already found and know to be "tried and true to their interests", then they are remiss in their duty to themselves. On April 12th, one of the daily papers wrote as follows of Mr. Portteus: "Among the candidates deserving re-nomination and re-election on the Democratic ticket, Theodore Portteus, present Sheriff, occupies a prominent position in the county one of the cleanest and best administrations in the Sheriff's Office in years. Mr. Portteus is admirably fitted because of his business above theundersetings experience to fill the office he now holds, and which he seeks renomination." * Mr. Porteus is 54 years of age, and annually, July 27th, 1859. After leaving the farm he clerked in a hardware store for two years. After becoming a lawyer, he moved to Indianapolis in 1865, where he lived ever since. He is a member of M. B. the Indiana and Old Hickory Democratic Clubs, as well as a member of the Moose, Buffalo and other fraternal organizations. He was elected to the City Council from the ninth ward in November, 1905, notwithstanding the ward was strongly Republican, and served on the council with credit to himself and his party. When Mr. Porteus was candidate for Shenandoah News said: "Theodore Porteus was a member of the City Council until he became one of the few members of the council against whom no charge was ever made of crookedness or questionable conduct came through with a clean record." It was largely through his efforts that Mr. Porteus was elected to Washington and East Michigan streets was obtained, together with the Elmerberger woods to our park system. Mr. Porteus was elected Sheriff of Marion County about two years ago by a Democrat. He is asking for a renomination. It is for you to decide whether he has earned it. Here is his resume. Record in Office. Mr. Portteus has employed more been the real Sheriff of Marion County than the real County of the County who has given his undivided attention to the management and supervision of the business of this office. All Money Accounted For. After the election of Mr. Portteus as Sheriff the State Board of Accounts sent him to the office for the four years that he acted as Chief Deputy, and found that all the money collected by him had been properly turned to the County Treasurer. Volume of Business The Sheriff's Office has transacted more business in the past year than in any of its history, and without extra cost to the taxpayers. Prompt and Efficient. Business in the Sheriff's Office has been kept up to date, and everybody with business to transact has had prompt, careful and courteous atten- Deputies and Salaries. Mr. Portetus has employed more deputies and has paid them larger salaries than any other Sheriff in Martin County. Business Conduct of Office. Mr. Portetus has employed a corps of deputies who have been trained to efficiency, exactness and conscientiousness in the performance of their duties. Work in Interest of County. In his enforcement of the law Mr. Portetus has never evaded any duty nor has he refused to never yielded to outside efforts to betray him in official error and to lead him beyond the bounds set by the law. Sensitive Provisions. The Judge has been can, sanitary and free from vermin. The clothing of the prisoners is disinfected, an apparatus installed by the Sheriff. Welfare of Prisoners.

In the past it has been the custom to renominate and re-elect our two-year officers, as was done with Messrs. Hake and our County Commissioners. Kills all kinds of Bugs, 25c a bottle.
