XXVII NUMBER 19 BISHOP WALTERS M Pushing Worthy Negroes to tion, Creed or Po CONFIRMATION OF JUD *Fore-runner to Better Things for the Master Banquet for Judge Terrell—H Before United States Court of Clai Grand Master—What the Plain Folk (Bv R. W. Thompson.) (Bureau of The Freeman, 1337 Wallach Place, N. W., Washington, D. C.) WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6. — Bishop Alexander Waltera, look-up every inch the tribute of the people that he has spent Sunday in the city, consisting of the Zion and the Avenel, this diocesan church, and having with his local Cabinet. He delivered a powerful sermon in the morning at Galbraith church, of which Rev. George C. Clement is pastor, and in the afternoon he officiated at the Metropolitan esley church, which was held yesterday. L. Y. White presidents, who are also presidents of the Pennsylvania Greeted him at both places and his presence went far to as- that the pastors in raising their general find for the coming session of the Phil- delphia and Baltimore Conference, which will be held next week. The Bishop spent the evening at the Pennsylvania Avenue Zion church in Baltimore, preliminary to a week or more among the churches in various notions of Maryland. He will return to Washington for a visit to the Bishop. He will then pay his res- pects to President Wilson, Secretary K.L.doo, Secretary Bryan and others with whom he has important business. Bishop Waltera was delighted with the confirmation of Judge E. E. W. of the Court, and he received upon the President and Attorney-General with all the emphasis he could command. He felt that this broad-gauged action on the part of the Senate, indicating that it was above the control of the House of Representatives. The Xerro was but the fore-runner of every better things to come. The President, he thought, would be encouraged to recognize other worthy members of the free and he expected from now on a substantial remembrance of the colonization of the capital of the State, which had had no one so much to make democratic success possible. The Bishop has kept a careful memorandum of the places to which New-Hes were appointed within the past three months, and the race can now be taken to the place of the race, showing made by his book. Not many of the positions have been large, but they have fallen upon worthy shoulders. A numerous branches of the federal service all over the country, and have materially advanced the yeomanry of the race—the people who do the real work of uplift and make for civil war—are nowरे of the same sort as the population of the retention of the title of the fried and true Negroes holding over through the civil service, and felt that the heads of the departments should be praised for their sturdy refusal to be moved. He did not mean to be moved, he said. Merit, and not political mind, he said. He said the Bishop, seems to be the controlling force that brings men and women into the employ of the Government today, and holds them in the hands of the Church. Bishop Walters is paying no attention to his small-bore critics. He does not dignify their diatribes by answering them. He is going on with his work in church and state, giving his income to the people, and opportunity to permit his own, and that he will be a political party, and finds his time so greatly taken up by large matters in concern himself about felsts that he has been. With his first great fight won, and going to the full the confidence of the people, he is going to the bottom to claim his followers and friends of the Bishop. He is now "the master of the situation," that he will use his leadership for the benefit of all his people, without the saving. Frederick Donglass III One of the most interesting children is the District is Frederick Douglass. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph R. Douglass. It is but a few months old, but is as bright as a silver dollar and seems to inherit the genius of its forbears through the generations following, the days of the "Great Commoner." Mrs. Douglass was formerly Miss Fannle A. Howard, the gifted priest and elocutionist of Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Douglass is the race's premier violent and grandson of the immortal Frederick Douglass. Mr. William Walter Smith, of Phila-e the work, was in the city last week cutting the firm in the Quaker City. Mr. Smith is also a writer of note on com- mate building and its possibilities and The District is the first of the country to have a number of valuable The United States has been a member of the United States. Suburban Life and other --- excellent bill at Dudley's this week includes Goodbar and Lewis and Fleming, a sister team. Judge Terrell Takes the Oath of Office. Judge Robert H. Terrell took the oath of office on Monday, following his conurbation by the court. He was swned by Judge Milton a St. Andrews court, and immediately began work on his docket. A massive册件 of the gift of admiring words, adorned his desk. The perseverance was witnessed by a group of well-known citizens, among whom was Mary Church Terrell, the energetic and resourceful judge, the Judge her beaming with delight, the faithful, unremitting efforts and utmost determination of this noble woman to down the barrier of prejudice at the time, that much was of success the eminence of the Senate in person and never relaxed her assurance until victory crowned her inception. Judge Terrell is in receipt of a bushel of letters, letters and messages of kind, congratulating him upon his great triumph, and the District Bar is jubilant over the outcome of its gallant fight against bourbonism and outward reference with a purely local appointment. Arrangements have been started by the men in charge to tender Judge Terrell the counter bourbon mony of the pride the race feels in his retention on the Bench that he has been given to take place at an early date at True Reformers' Hall, with provision for the attendance of the ladies. A dinner will take place at the office to follow the dinner. The affair is to be national in its scope and the participants will represent every section of the population of the race. The office may be local, said one of the promoters of the testicular and the effect will be universal. The Passing Show in Washington. Miss Lillian Browne and William DeMont, the premier sketch artists, and one of the most versatile teams in the country, went to Atlanta, Ga. Sunday, engaging with the stock company of the Majestic Theater. They had just left Majestic here and, their departure leaves a void that will be hard to fill. Browne and DeMont will make good at Browne, which is the birthplace of Miss Browne. --- Joe Bright's Players are at the Howard again, after a week's rest. They are a fine bunch of performers, and are a fine bunch of performers, and Mr. Bright's dialect as a Mexican, Italian, Indian or cowboy is true to life. Miss Desdemona, Barnett and Miss Gertrude Ryan, treasurers respectively at Dudley's and the Howard, are among the mainstays that make these playhouses popular with the masses, with the theater-goers being particularly pleasant. They are prime favorites with the theater-goers of every class and condition. S. H. Dudley ran down Sunday to "look 'em over." He is playing another week in Philadelphia. His stunt of leading the band in his roaring foot-joining the Show," is a big attraction. . . . Miss Susie Sutton returns next week, after a successful tour of Dudley's Virginia and Carolina, circuit. Manager Frank Brown "canned" his own stock playlet, "The Red Rose," after a single performance at the Majestic week. Minstrel Wesley, singer and baruesque mind-reader, has gone to Riehm. He went big at the Howard last week. Miss Blanche Young, the petite daughter of the late "Clever" Billy Young, has been making a fine impression here as a singer. She has a voice that is both powerful and skillfully, but she should vary the character of her songs to secure the results she is capable of achieving. The public is waiting to hear Lew Henry's long-promised "announcement." Several well-equipped performers are taking what Minstrel Morris humorously describes as an "un-needed rest." The news of the death of Rich Simmons at Atlanta caused a shock among the performers in Washington, among whom he was well known and greatly admired. For several years he was the team-mate of Miss Lillian Browne, of this city, and they played jointly all the first-class houses of the city. Miss Wesley was the sad news, paid a high tribute to the deceased actor and expressed the deepest regret that his brilliant and charming performance did not deny cut in on the very zenith of his fame and amid constantly enlarging opportunities. There is talk that colored business men may take over the moving picture business. Under shrewd management this spot could be made a paying proposition. Manager Douglass Gentry has put in a $200 ventilating plant at the Chelsea plant nursery, and an ice box at the hot weather. His next improvement will be an enclosed stage with a set of scenery, etc. Mr. Gentry has taken his business to New York and developed it into one of the most liberally-patronized theaters in the city. He is one man who is making a difference in the neighborhood of aristocratic families who allow their people the afternoon off, Raymond Coates (Oh you drummer) is a whole show by himself. Jeffrey and DeLyon are spending the week here. Frank Fowler Brown, Hoosierdom's great lyric tenor, is to put in the summer with a musical group at a recreation park near Baltimore. The Renaisance Players, with Nathaniel Guy, Mrs. Emily Jane Taylor, Mrs. Adelaine Wormiley Cardozo, M. Menard, Albert Kohl and other musicians, are in "The Common Enemy," at the Majestic on the 22d. Managers W. D. Nixon and Milton will take the company to Baltimore in Adelphia at the close of the school term.

Those who gave it four weeks should now "get out and get under." That "National Negro Conference" to discuss the political situation, did not materialize. This is the period of "watchful waiting" for the Negro politician—and others. So-called "interlopers" keep a town from dying from dry-rot. Washington is no exception. The U. street electric lights are "dandy." Apartment houses and flats are in great demand by folks who are tired of the cares of a big house, with a joblot of roomers who are necessary to help pay the high rents. The real estate market is a battle if they would turn about three-fourths of the large houses into flats and let them out at reasonable figures. There is absolutely no foundation for the report that all the Negroes in the federal service are to be discharged by the fourth of July. Dr. Clement covers an immense amount of ground as pastor and as a large church like Galbraith and as editor of the Star of Zion at Charlotte, N. C. It is expected that Rev. George Clement will be reappointed as pastor of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion church, where he has achieved a great success. William L. Houston, former grand master of the G. U. O. of O. F., and Shelby J.

C., who rendered excellent service in the Spanish-American War, has tendered his good offices toward raising a regiment of colored volunteers to assist in the war with Mexico.

Assembly Hall, which was held on the 1st of March 1976, at the greeting dress by Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Washington, who took for his theme "The Progress of the Negro in Fifty Years of Freedom." He pointed out the steady advance of the Negro, despite the efforts of the General Color, and declared himself in favor of the enjoyment by the Negro citizen of every privilege accorded to the citizens of other races. The Senator received an ovation. His speech on the yesterday evening of the 1st of March for the control by Negroes of a part of the fund set aside for instruction in modern farming made him a warm favorite with the audience and his salient epigram were applauded to the echo. L. J. J. H. C. was the first of his history of Negro achievements in many fields, to which work the members of the club are expected to contribute. Mr. G. Smith Wormley presided and Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson introduced Senator Elphinstad to the group at the address, arrangements, securing the speaker, providing the refreshments and collecting the dues, etc., were handled in masterly fashion by Mr. Frank A. Byron, chairman of the executive committee, and the group was presided over by chairman. This was the last regular session of the club for this season, but a special business meeting will be called for next week.

Be ready when Opportunity knocks at your door. Equality before the law has nothing to do with "social equality." Advertise your business, or pretty soon you won't have any business to advertise. It looks as if Former Senator Foraker may "come back." In him the Negro is certain to have a "friend at court." The traditional "easy mark" forgets his troubles, because he is so busily occupied with listening to those of his friends. It is estimated that 450,000 Negroes in the city are seated at the time, and the annual cost of the illness of these 450,000 Negroes is about $75,000,000 in earnings and production. It pays to keep well. The railroad magnates of America will not refuse to act, when 10,000,000 Negroes are all at work for just treatment on trains and in railroad stations, when they pay the same amount, pay for accommodations and have proven themselves good customers. Jim Corbett, who has proven a "Jonah" to every so-called "Whites Hope" he has championed, says "Jack Horns" is coming fight with Frank Moran in Paris. With Jim the wish is the rather "honey" of the house. He takes more than the money of the credited Corbett to lick Jack Johnson. T. Thomas Fortune in the New York Age, wisely argues that as men's thoughts generally follow the directive to trust the leadership of people, who eyes are in the back of their heads, they look forward, who believe that the watches of the night are past; the watches of the day begin." There is no disgrace in well-performed domestic service. There is genuine art in home-making—cooktable and caring for the living and sleeping rooms. The Negro is closest to white when rubs elbows with the inelastic service. The race will make a serious mistake if $^a$ allows others to push him out of the activities in the now meets with the warmest welcome. The world places a premium on good conduct, be the individual black or white, be the residents of Naco, Arriba, or the residents of the orderliness and exemplary bearing of the Tenth Cavalry, now stationed at that point. The same officers have been assigned to the class band of Negro soldiers when it was garrisoned at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, and while in the maneuvers in Virginia. The race is proud of the "Mallant Tent." . . . We are always glad to see the erstwhile officers in our style, signing himself a "tonsorial artist." It signifies he is proud of his chosen calling and that he is anxious to bring it up to modern standards in the past. It gives us the impression that he has passed the antiquated barber ideals and is going in for modern and modern service. The new titts suggests bright lights, massive tails, plenty of clean linen, hot towels, keen to razor and shears and a collection of apparel that products take the place of cheap talk. Hail, the "tonsorial artist." The Star of Zion has a timely editorial on "Negroes and Business" that emphasizes the possibilities of the race in providing for their own wants and making a profit thereon for men and women of color. The editorial asks the question: "A grocery that will feed the black thousands—a laundry that will wash that will cover their feet—and a bakery and confectionery that will deliver their meals that will succeed wherever Negroes of sense and energy establish them." This is the gospel truth and ought to be taught to all. It will then act in accordance with the helpful suggestion of Editor Clement. No part of Dr. Booker T. Washington's long and brilliant career shines with greater splendor or carried with greater dignity. Negro people than his present agitation for better accommodations for African Americans. The Century has aroused the railroads to a sense of the injustices suffered by our people who must travel to the South to meet their frank expressions on the subject have shown. Now, Dr. Washington proposes a system by which the matter directly with the railroad officials and bring it to a face-to-face meeting and bring it to a proactively naming committees—two or three fearless men, who know how to make the most effective arsenal against the racist forces of June 7 and 8 be memorable days in the life of our oppressed people. W. A. Rayfield, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, and whose artistic experiences in the structures of the Tuskegee campus, is now the head of a firm of architects at Birmingham, Ala., specializing on church architecture, outgrown their clothing, as it were, and the Rayfield congregation, as suggested by their suggesting plans for adequate edifices, that illustrate in a practical fashion the growth of the race 'n' the church, and the demand of the times for conveniences and service that our forbears little dreamed of. The church of today is a social center, an educational institution and a conserves of practical uplift in every direction. The Rayfield congregation is by our people. Each edifice erected by them will show up as a race exhibit. W. Milton Lewis, a clear thinker and felicitous writer, is setting a warm pace for the sentiment-moulders of the race through his brilliant editorials in the Indianapolis Freeman, Mr. Lewis handles all of the vital issues of the day in a calm, conservative and logical manner, and praises or condemns men and things without "slobbying" on the one hand or ranting on the other. Absolute level-headedness is the ruling characteristic of his literary output, which is abundant and varied. His citations and conclusions give evidence of a wide acquaintance with history and the classics, as well as a keen eye for the things that happen day by the day and a ready grasp of the mortals and means that govern the currents of our complex modern life. Mrs. Lewis, like most genluses, is proverbially modest, but he is growing on the country and the country is anxious to see more of the man they "read after" with so much interest and profit. The newly-organized African Union Company, which is to handle the mahorany products of Africa's Gold Coast, ought to be a monumental success. A big trade with England and Germany is already assured, through the reputation gained by the operations of the former management. The company controls 100,000 fine mahorany trees, said to be worth several millions of dollars. It is but natural that a corporation of Negroes should take hold of the kind of investment in the best prospects for rich returns. The official roster includes the names of a score of the best known colored men in America. The drive-wheel of the organization is Gen. Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati, Ohio, Vice-Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, Supreme Worthy Counsellor of the Court of Calanthe, and First Vice-President of the National Negro Press Association. Gen. Jones is secretary and sales-agent of the African Union Company, and his record for honesty, reliability and energy is a guarantee that the new institution will live up to its highest possibilities.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIA. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Segregation is civil immorality when nothing in the conduct of a people give rise to it. Is the race so conducting itself in its residence precepts that segregation is suggested out of the very nature of things? The British government is demanding $62,000 of Haiti because of the damage done to the saw-mill of a British subject during the Leconte Revolution. "Ain't no money on hand. Can't get no blood out of a turnip." Our government is asking time in the interest of Haiti. Verily we are full of trouble. The Progressives have gone to pieces if one can rely on the result of last Tuesday's primary ballot. Something like 3,000 votes were cast, when 18,000 were cast two years ago. Well, a good bunch has grown sensible to the idea of voting, they have not to get together. If they have the triumph of Democracy in mind all they have to do is to keep standing out. The Indiana Department of the G. A. R. is in the city this week, having camp fires and other things that serve to keep in mind the gigantic struggle of the 60's. One looks on these gray grim veterans with much sympathy for what they endured, and because they hold that phase of the past to be the chief thing for remembrance. They seem glad enough to meet and talk it all over, and to use the language of Goldsmith, "to shoulder his crutch and show how fields were won." But they are not sure there are thousands yet who can stand up to be counted at the mention of the Civil war. Of all men we count these first, we count them last, the saviours of our country. The mixup with Mexico has been the means of drawing out expressions from the Negroes in their attitude towards the government. The newspapers that have had something to say have shown clearly the drift of sentiment, not to speak of what is heard on the streets. It would be almost treasonable to reproduce much of what is being said. And this may be charged up to irresponsible persons who are influenced by the hardships they endure as citizens. However, through it all rings a menace that is not without its value even to a government so great and powerful as our own. It is quite enough to endure prejudices and discriminations that come ordinarily. It is too much when men in public places use their offices for the purpose of working up prejudice and discrimination. It is this thing above all that has so incensed the Negroes. The confirmation of the nomination of Judge Robert H. Terrell is very welcome news from Washington. We were inclined to think that the Democrats in the Senate were thoughtful enough to give the matter careful consideration, and, which, if they did could only result in the way it did. There was more involved than merely the confirmation. Terrell's success or failure had become to be considered the test of the attitude of the Democratic administration. The President saw it that way, we feel free to say, and in view of his promises and his determination to be as fair as possible, it was necessary that he pave the way for the judge's confirmation. Vardaman et al. raged as usual, but the greatest good to the greatest numbers is the philosophy that transcends personal pique and spleen. It is to be hoped that the President will not rest there—in that appointment—but do what he can consistently from time to time, thus making for a common citizenship as nearly as possible. In spite of the protests made by the colored citizens of Louisville, Ky., the segregation ordinance, which has been before the Board of Council and the Board of Aldermen of that city for several weeks, passed those two bodies without a dissenting vote. That the measure passed is not surprising. That it passed without a dissenting vote is alarming, since it speaks for a united opposition to Negroes in the particular. The opposition will not stay confined to the particular. It will spread. Citizenship will be more easily struck down if segregation rules stand as precedents. However, there are two sides to almost every question. In this segregation business we take it, that, the race is not wholly free from fault; not in the sense of crime, but in the sense of residence pride. In most of our large cities where our people live in large numbers there are sections which almost begar discription. These are not without influence when such questions are being debated. In admitting this we do not mean to be giving a club to beat us over the head. Here is a time when the truth will make you "free" if it ever can. Unless these sections tend to reduce it will take considerable nerve to stoutly contend for equality of treatment, citizens though we be. WM. E. SCOTT, ARTIST. Wm. E. Scott, the artist, who recent- ly returned home from Paris, has had a number of his pictures on exhibition at the Y. M. C. A. building. They were seen by many persons, including white painters of Indianapolis. Mr. Scott felt greatly encouraged by the very favorable comment heard from time to time, especially the comment of the artists, since they are better prepared to speak of the merits of such work. The thirty-one pictures arranged about the assembly rooms gave that salon appearance that is seen and read about. The paintings were of all sizes, ranging from the "Burger at Prayer," of huge proportions, down to the small ones of various subjects. The "Burger at Prayer" is a splendid piece, a great cross with the image of the Christ before which stands the peasant shepherd in becoming attitude, with his halting flock of sheep about him, and seemingly none less reverent than himself. Mr. Scott said that this was the most difficult work that he has ever attempted. He has been congratulated in portraying the early gray morn, the sun which has climbed but fairly up the sky, and the soft light that tinges the tops of everything, dying away to the darker day beyond. It is a homely picture, rustic, peasantry as the name implies. But in the ensemble it is rich, made more so by the significance of the cross, which looms up gigantically above all else. The adoring peasant contributes to the religiousness, together with the humility of this type of humble beings—the sheep. Like most oil paintings, the "Burger At Prayer" looks to be no more than daund on daub, smeared on without system, when standing near it. Standing at the proper distance the intent of the artist is clearly seen. This is the highest valued picture of the collection. It is quoted on the catalogue at $300. The other pictures range on down to $7. Mr. Scott made several sales during the exhibition. He also received good offers for the "Burger At Prayer." He says that the present collection, which represents his work of last year, is his best so far. Scott is a graduate and, with whom Scott has studied, thinks highly of his ability. Scott is yet a young man; he is qualified with the necessary "fire" for doing the greatest things along his line. Immediate Payment of $62,000 for Loss During Laconte Revolution Demanded. CRUISER SUFFOLK ON SCENE Diplomatic Representative at Port au Prince Takes Action—Haiti Has No Money on Hand. Port Au Prince, Haiti, May 6.—The British diplomatic representative at Port Au Prince today delivered an ultimatum to the Haitian government demanding the immediate payment of an indemnity of $62,000 to a British subject in compensation for the destruction by fire of his saw-mill during the Leconte revolution. The British demand is supported by the presence here of the British cruiser Suffolk. The payment of this sum of money to the British subject in question, a man named Peters, had previously been ordered by a court of arbitration. No Money on Hand. Immediately after the presentation of the British demand the members of the chamber of deputies and the senate met in joint session. The deliberations were marked by great excitement. Senator Cauvin bitterly reproached the cabinet not for being able to meet the situation. There is no money in hand with which to make the payment demanded. After a futile discussion the congress decided to go into separate session in order to permit the deputies and the senators to discuss the matter independently. ASKS TIME FOR HAITI. State Department Wishes to Ascer tain Facts in Case. Washington, May 6—News of the British ultimatum to the Haitian government reached the state department early in the day and the British ambassador was requested to exert himself to obtain at least a temporary stay of proceedings. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, after a conference with Robert Lansing, the counselor for the state department, cabled the British foreign office a suggestion that time be allowed for an inquiry in the case. Little is known here of the basis for the British claim which formed the ground for the ultimatum and nothing whatever in the reasons which Au Prince in making the issue at his particular moment. To ascertain these facts, the state department requested the suspension of the ultimatum, having in mind the low ebb of Haitian finances, which might prevent a compliance with it, no matter how well disposed the Haitian officials might be. Senator Root Voted for Terrell. It is inconceivable how so much misinformation about Washington can get into the report circulated in New York, and elsewhere that Senator Roe voted against the confirmation that she is manifestly absurd. Senator Roe stood alone for Terrell in the sub-committee. It was his minority report that was confirmed by the committee on the judiciary. He led the fight for Terrell in the executive session that confirmed him and was very critical of the titanic conflict. The statement that the New York Senator was against the monstrous ideas that somebody makes a specialty of sending to out-town papers that are given to schoolchildren do the Senator a gross injustice and reflect no credit upon the journalism of our race.

Muskogee, Okla., April 20, 1914. Mr. Knox, Dear Sir—As we have been told, brother performers to beware the Pastime theater. We worked our time out at the theater, from Bud Brown, manager of the theater. Our eight people of Stearn and Stearn, Jackson and Lewis, Perry and Meyers, of the Perry Stock Company. LITTLE TAPS AT THE VAUDE- VILLE NAPS (By Uncle Joe Golphin.) If you wish to get soaked use the water gag. Performances are either self-made or self-marred. Many an humble soubrette makes a cross leading lady. You can't ring the gong of success unless you pull the rope. There was a time when a man was considered a star for any one thing done well. But a star these days must shine from every spar. Many performers wait more than they work. Success lies in both. Blessed the monologist that gets by without smoot for he shall reign supreme. Some time big timers are all right in a way, but please keep out of the little big timers' way. Love of the profession will push a man to the front. Matrimony will make the soubrette follow. A bright man will originate his own way of putting his stuff over. Others will imitate. Every soubrette thinks she is a star and has forgotten more than the manager ever knew. It's easier for some commedians to make his brother performers laugh than the audience. If you want money for your act—get the act first. Spring shows green and game, in vaudeville. Let us see a different act. We are tired of seeing acts so much alike, Oh they are all the same. An act is always a failure when everybody is the boss. To be popular act as nice off as you do on the stage, if not nicer. Spring is here, who will be the first to spring something new? (Poorray.) I am tired of working so awful hard, I am getting back in age. I've got to get a living easy. I believe I'll try the stage. So I went to the show most every night To see the actors dance, But found that I was most too old, I wouldn't have a chance. I saw an actor one day and kept watching back. And asked him how he won success and, He simply said, "Ball the Jack." So back I went to my work, as happy as could be. I know my work is honest and free from vulgarity. And only I am happy. I mean this as a fact. I don't want to be an actor if I've got to Ball the Jack. Golphin SHEESLEY & HOFFMAN'S GREATER MINSTRELS.

Reed's bull dogs were the star card of the game, which included *Woll Elliott* in an urchin bridge game with a Brooklyn bridge scene; Gilbert Loosee, a good mezzo-falso-tone; only *Mike McCole* and *Reece*, fine dancers. The second half of last week had Tom Cross, a very clever colored comedian, Thompson, who made an excellent Indian. Others were Lentz in Upton Singer, who made good; Holman, a frog man, hardly as good as Ferry or Billy Williams of old; Murphy and Klein and Swain-Ostrom, who made good winners in the colored tango supplied by Jimmie Barrett and Charlotte and Singer, who made good Singer second winners in which tango, supplied by Fleck Collins, in which Wayne Tommy, the Way Johnson, won first prize in last Saturday's song contest. It is rumored that James Brammen has arrived from california.

Tom Turner will place a billboard hall at 3334 State street. The retirement of Horace George from the Monogram orchestra recalls the fact that Wilbur Sweatman not only bought the house but was the first leader who used a musician's salary on State street to anywhere near the size of the price paid to a white musician. He paid $10,000, and rather than pay his salary A. E. HORACE GEORGE, Expert Caironet Leader, Who Resigned from the Monogram Theater. out resigning from his position. Henry B.

Not only is his conversation full of jokes, but smoking, singing, and opening of his three dummies the act, Marching down the isle is also an addition to the ceremony. On the evening of April 28, I was given a special dinner by Tom Cross, C. V. B. A. actor, of New York, at the Monogram theater. Mrs. Jordan is an extra fine cook and the menu was served by a big stout waiter. We sat at the table with the children. Others present were Baby Brown, an actress, and Paul Lotterdale, a young man about town, but of good repute. It's no trouble to find that every performer, no matter how new in the field, has a place in the big time. Some time. Oh well? MOVING PICTURE STUDIO.

Ed Love, the comedian, has created for himself a brand new part—a man on crutches. His makeup is humorously grotesque, and he has a very distinctive look different. His singing number is a LOVE A THE MUSICAL LOVE AND KING good one-his own composition—"I Ain't Gwine to Be Here Long." His chronic bad feet are the subject of his book, *Gwine to Be Here*. In this respect the act is entire. Miss Carrie King opens up in accordance with the act, peddling a memoir, a memoir, a memoir, a good straight, making it possible for Love to get out the fun. She NEWS FROM YOUNG BROS! BLACK TROUBAOURS. The Young Bros. Black Troubadours are growing bigger and bigger ever week. At Amory we had Shaw and Shaw, Tommie and Mary and also Roberson and A. Persons.

Those wishing to communicate with the Company should address Managing Director, Barbara Film, Co. Inc., Rhodes Bldg., Atlanta Ga. shows up beautifully in her song, "To Have, To Hold, To Love." Her voice is pretty sweet. Her expression is rapturous; this with her style of putting her song over make for a splendid number. The whole work is beautiful. Pete DeKosa is also a new one to the Crown Garden. His female impersonation is of an order not seen at this time. We welcome the become of the baseball pitchers—a little ND KING. get onto at first. He appears as the "nervous woman" doing an opera, burlesque, song in one of his numbers. This is interspersed with wit, an abundance of which he had on hand. All he had to do was to uncork. He kept the audience "a giggling all the while." He also does a double voice solo, and into which he works some more fun. Golphine and Miss Rae Wallburgh are rehearsing a new tango to be featured later on. Our manager, Mr. C. A. Bowen, is the best ever. Our band, under Prof. Fount Woods, are putting on some stunning concerts. His trombone solos are getting applause daily. Ghost walks regularly. Everybody is excited, it's rumored that special paper will be the next surprise. Our chef, Mr. Bob Campbell, sure knows how to put up some pieces and chicken, too, and we sure knows how to put it down. Our concert monologist, Mr. William Johnson, has stopped forgetting his jokes. ST. LOUIS, MO., THEATRICALS. Baby Mack. This mere strip of a girl, yet in her 'teens, is winning the hearts of her peers of the beautiful ballad "When I Lost you." This little miss has a good repertoire of three popular compositions, but in this one number she is sentimental and transmits it with an effect that reaches the hearts of all. To say she is destined to be a great performer is only detracting from the fact of the present; for she is a little star of distinctive brightness now. T. Spencer Finley. (DI) Spencer Finley has a concoction of matchless melodies in its first act. His monologue is new and bursting with humor. His parody on "Peg o' G my Heart" is a screamer. Mills. A good singing and dancing act, with plenty of rich dialogue, and a dramatic performance, is presented. Mills makes a hit with his eccentric buck dance and the Miss Smith's singing goes good. Mat Marshall and Will Thomas close the mat in a storm of erratic and eccentric tomee nonsense that is hilarious from the start. His goers go good, and their side-splitting dialogue serves to round out an act that is big hit with the crowds. LeRoy Morton and Eleanore Wilson are singing at Silver Grill and drawing crowded houses nightly. Chas. A. Hunter, who was for three seasons stage manager for Tile & Johnson's "Sheeley Regiment" and "Red Moon Co." will open the new Abrams Lin-Neck Avenue, May 11. WRIGHT WITH SPARKS' FAMOUS BIDE SHOW.

Wright, cornet; Toney Bareley, basses; Isaiah Wilds, drum; Carter, alto; Eugene Peterson, bass drum; Sam Kennedy, snare drum; ginging "Do you take this woman for your lawful wife?" Miss Cleo Pottett is singing "Loving Ragtime Man"; Miss Dorothy Burton is also great, singing "Mr. Carter" Mack Carter comes next; Mr. Carter tenor voice singing "Love her, oh, oh, oh" but not Eugene Peterson comes last but not Eugene Peterson comes "Floating down the river" went so good in Charlotte, N. C., that an old laughing and had to e carried out. He said Mr. Lowery should see and listen to G. and bunch and H. Drak and Co. The well known Frank Montgomery and the Dainty Florence McClain are the best of them. They are in superb form, looking as prosperous and satisfied as it is possible to be. They are rounded out as if they should worry. Miss McClain was never handsomer. Miss McClain was never handsomer. First is made up of a bit of straight and comedian work. Montgomery THE BROADWAY MONTGOMERY AND McClAIN. man. Miss McClain sustains her part as straight. Here she takes the part in the dress, and she appears at individual work. Montgomery puts over "According to Me" a song, in fine one. Miss McClain stunts a good one. Miss McClain's wardrobe, is prettily rendered. Her style is captivating. They close with the "Euonymus" and both appear as picks. Miss McClain's wardrobe is good all through. The team was very appearable at appearance each time. RINGLING BROS' SHOWS IN INDIA ANAPOLIS TO SHORE AND HIRB, BIRD. The Ringlings were in Indianapolis last Wednesday and in all their glory. We were in the parade, seeing the things the parade had to offer. The offerings were good and substantial, showing the wealth of the city and the wealth of the elephants, camels and so forth. Beautiful women and gallant men were features of the parade, and they have always surged. The weather helped; the threatened, ugly day gave way to a splendid day, adding "sunshine" to the grounds as they have always surged. **Roy Pope and His Band.** Pope, who retired from the Ringlings two seasons ago, has been recalled. The popular handmaster and Indianapolis were seen in the parade. In the parade, making music to the delight of all. He put on some rattling operas among the audience, and the element of the side show patrons showed signs of the Eagle Rock and white folks also caught the feeling, and got rather wobbly.

They appeared here a few weeks, and many misunderstandings with the management they thought they would go out on their own hook, and they will no longer be able to different show houses engage them when they hear the public demand their act, Ethel Williams, Adèle Boudreau and two trio names. They are eastern mads and are capable of packing any house to its doors when they hit the footwear of their act. Going on Dudley's time. GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TER. PHILADELPHIA The Brinkleys put up a good stuff act this week, but it would have been less impressive if all had new material and an act along new lines. However, Miss Brinkleay, although she is considerably stouter than her older brother, is attractive in appearance and her dainty costumes were pleasing to the eye. She was cordially received. The Great Dancer was a magic to an extent that was surely mystifying. Live animals and birds were used to form ornamented and seemingly impossible places, and there were numerous strange appearances and disappearance of the boxer, the pected and seemingly impossible places, and there were numerous strange appearances and disappearance of the boxer, the pected and seemingly impossible places. The three dancing demons, Mastin, Foxworth and Texas dummy dances were given an ovation. The Cubanola Trio, under the direction of Lira Bailey, pleased the audience with their singing. The Ten Georgia Blossoms rounded out the show with their dance and the Dudley and his mule, Patrick, are the headliners next week. Business good. A FEW NOTES FROM EILER'S NEW ORLEANS MINSTRELS.

The Big Show is now playing its last week in Texas and we are headed for Oklahoma. We have been doing a special show at the Lore Lore Hall and we are maintaining our reputation as being the oldest and best. Our stage has been over the past few years. It is putting the show on a ladders of a droll comedian; it's no good to be in the state. Mr. Robert Young, solo clairmetrist, is the first to play the show at the Spring Springs, Afk, joined us and our Gold Band, now under the direction of Ralph S. Redmond, is pleasing the people who are able to play the show at the slusting drum-heads. On your drummer—And after a long season South and West, the show has been made to the best of the time of the Ledge—is pleasing to the management. At Dallas, Texas, notwithstanding the indemency of the weather of the show, the show is the best of "Dem Jogo Blues" set them wild. Ft. Worth, Texas, we turned them away as the S. R.

Ripley.) Next year will be a notable one in athletics. This is not a prophecy of a future, is it? The games during the world's fair in 1915 will be the scene of the greatest athletic carnival ever undertaken. The games will be the greatest and largest ever to be played in history. On the Olympic games of past years, On every day for one year, from the BERT (BONEPART) WILLIAMS THE GREAT. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Opening day to the closing day of the exposition, an athletic event of some kind is scheduled. That's a pretty event to be held at the same time. It is one of the asbestos as it is more than the assistance of the mild climate combined with the manner of arranging the different kinds of games, to be able to get by without postponements. Quarter Mile Straightway. There is under way in San Francisco at present a month in the first round. It is located centrally within the fairgrounds and will be one of the largest and finest athletic fields in the world when completed. Its most advantageous feature is a clean-wide, "straightway" of 440-yard length that will be blessed to the spectators well as the athletes. For the first time since the Vigilant vanquishered the Valkyrie in 1898, the cup was placed on the drive to the market value after the 1911 regatta of a million spent on each of the other challengers.

With a challenger also of composite construction it is expected that the fourth venture of Sir Thomas Lipton will be expected to be three previous cup, hunts, probably under $150,000, compared with a third of a million spent on each of the other challengers.

Already the Swedes, Germans, Norwegians and Philippines have agreed to send teams and when Director Sullivan goes to Europe later this year he expects to line up all the countries without trouble. Philippines to be Represented. A word about the Philippines. This part of the United States has never been represented before. Look out for a surprise—they are not so stagnant among the players. The islands have gone simply athletically crazy. They are playing all the wonderful burst of enthusiasm, and as for baseball why they—they never stop—that's all. They have made more than eight years than has any other country in the same given time. Watch them. The attempt will be made to stage a real world's series of baseball games. If it is possible to arrange, we will see the world's championship played for the lean and National leagues as picked by the newspaper men. How does that happen? Just imagine, if you can, such stars as Walter Johnson, Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson and Eddie Collins against a club containing such gems as Mathewson, the Mets, the Evers? It sounds too good to be true. Boxing at Every Weight. Of course there will be the amateur boxing tournaments of all classes, and the amateur boxing classes from the official direction of professionals will blossom forth. Already the promoters are bearing it in mind that the championship long enough to show it to the to his home city, during the fair. But it would take too long to enquire about it well to note the wonderful benefits this country obtains from such a series of athletic games. The championships will be a tonic to the nation. They will serve to inspire the youth and improve the country's health, and in addition, will develop new athletic strength. And what is more, the spectators can look at a world's fair at the same What say, les' start for Frisco now? SPEND HALF MILLION DOLLARS TO DEFEND AMERICA'S CUP. NEW YORK—Some idea of the amount of money involved in the defense of American's cup in the continental America's cup, regatta, Sandy Hook in September may be made by an authority, as made by an authority, who stated that twenty-two American yachtsmen will spend more than half a million dollars in the defense of the cup. In addition to the expense of preparing for the trial races it will cost the defender through the cup races. Big Sum for Upkeep. The exact sum paid to the Herreshoff company for the last five yachts, including the Constitution, have never been revealed, but other builders believe that they know them approximately. From such data it is estimated that the contract for the Pudrillup will take two years of�, and the sets of sails, minor spars and rigging complete, called for close to $150,000. It is thought that $75,000 will be necessary for her upkeep during the preliminary season from May 1 to August 2020. The cost of the sale is placed at about one hundred thousand dollars and it is expected that with her professional crew, and large tender, Mr. Cochran will have spent another $100,000 by the time that the committee on challenge of the New South Coasts�s retains has as to which yacht shall be intrusted with the defense of the silver tankard. As the Defiance is of composite built, with steel frames and a double wooden skin, it is estimated that her building cost will be considerably less than the other of the two broad yachts probably in the neighborhood of $40,000, just before launching. Her masts and spars will cost $10,000, her sails $15,000, blocks $3,000, and rigging $1,000, with $6,000 more for incident yachts, with $10,000 more for yachts of several of the syndicate are measured as tenders, the cost of run- ning the syndicate, the cost of placed at $30,000, or $100,000 for the Lipton's Expense Less. With a challenger also of composite construction it is expected that the fourth cup hunt will be far less expensive than his three previous cup hunts, probably under $150,000 compared with a third cup hunt on each of the other challengers. For the first time since the Vigilant valentient the Valkyrie in 1893, the cup defender was market value after the 1914 regatta is decided. They are not expected toivariate more than 40 per cent, compared with the 1913 which the owners of the Reliance, the last cup defender, were forced to build, cost being nearly $300,000, and thus the value and availability of this year's cup yachts for future work is as one of the most encouraging features under which they have been built.

James White, a London financier, has made a new move in the exhibition fights. That is, be employed pugilists at so much per week. The states for appearances in pub- lic places. The fighters are not inter- ested in anything except the contest. The actual boxing bout is an invest- ment in the promotion on the part of the promoter. Of course it may be said that the whole business, or how brought about, is its investment is true enough but the point is that Mr. White has put more and more certainty in the bus- That kind of business strikes one as rather tame, hippopotamus. It is the fine points of the game can be seen without the possible bruta phase which so many bread and cheese players use, the knockout blow is it is doubtful if we should be hardened to the point of demanding the blow in the incident—or the "court" of the last resort—when the decision of referee is made. In most instances the knocked one can recover. But no one will deny who has been knocked out of death. That it is not fatal more times is due to the fine points of the game. How that the men almost always survive. The blow more often than otherwise is sufficient to put an end to the game. In our own country the fighting propaganda will do good if it can be starred on the vaudeville courses, meaning that the boxing exhibition will be a means of livelihood for many people. And when they do difficult to sign up, they do not have a difficult life. The lesser colored fighters will kill the day when they can put around in the country like the vaudeville people. It may come. It will be not that the burlace is a big, highly enjoined. The real things de-cently done, may become a winner. In some states the boxers would run counter to the laws. But there has been gradual change in the last few years. If the brutal phase is cut out the "vity fathers" will be inclined to give in generally. Some things don't begin at the bottom. John Rockefeller and Carnegie and some more of them began at the bottom. Some concerns are set in operation in full fledged working order. But with such a change, the long-term from the ground, and are long they are in the eyes of the total world. It is interesting to hear about the rise of the Pittsburgh baseball team. Beginning half in the jest, at least, the first-time to idea as to what would result. Most thing has begun half in the future. Finally some someone saw a great possibility in front, seized the opportunity, when, like the tide in the affairs of men, led on to victory. Now here's your Aladdin dream. I Nine silver dollars started the Athletic baseball club of Philadelphia. Dollars in real money, a set of dollars in cash, and not entirely whole—was all the capital that "Zack" Phillips, Sharing the cap had when they formed it now is now our national baseball organization in the world. Rent of their grounds, Oakdale works the trio hired for all they were worth, scared up crowds that were scared up big as 300, and at the end of that time they had gained $2 a piece for their twenties of labor. It was up to me and do something desperate. They decided to make a crowd and guaranteed the Boston club that was the biggest on the days of 1881, $300; or $100 if it could rain. Then they set back and cover the weather, for there was not a dollar the treasury to pay in of rain. They right. They had a crowd of 5,000 because the seating capacity of the club was only 4040. But all paid, and after the house guarantee and giving the home promoter a gate the three promoters had money to buy lumber for the club. home-made affairs were "more ranging and handsome," as Phillips re- marked after they were completed, but they would sell them to the success of the club was justified. In less than five years the company received $100,000 in helping a great deal. Their ability not remarkable by mod- ern standards, was sensational judged by similar projects of the same time. the unfortunate lot of baseball players who have tossed about as jetsammed out of the seas of after times of the good luck of that famous degratement with a tinge of envy. I had a similar experience? To preise suits that looked something realized dream of those days. It did not matter whether old or question. I have reference to the beginning to nationalize.

LONDON—Bombardier Wells won a decision on points in a twenty-round fight with Landsman Rise April 30, at the same time. Rise who is a light heavyweight, gave Wells one of the hardest fights he had from any English opponents. NEW ORLEANS—Joe Woodman, manager of San Langford, announced last week that the Boston Tar Babcard would meet Jack Johnson at the National Sporting Club in London on July 4. Woodman has received an official attention from Sporting Club to asking him if Langford is willing to meet Johnson should the latter agree to the match. Woodman replied that Langford would meet Johnson. SACRAMENTO, Cal.—A discrepancy of one word in the anti-prize fight initiative petition filed at secretary of state's office and containing a total of 34,349 signatures, will keep the measure off the 1914 ballot, unless supplement names are filed before August 1. The attorney-general and secretary of state have discovered that 27,832 persons signed sections of one petition and 6,600 signed sections of an other, both similars except that in the enacting clause the word "acts" was substituted instead of "who." The attorney-general has ruled that the changing of the word divides the petition into two separate measures. Ray Bronson writes from Sydney, Australia, under date of April 3 that unless Coffroth, the San Francisco flight promoter, offered him a flight for July 14, the same way he said for the same time he was to sell for America on June 6. Since that date, however, Ray has called that he will sell on May 2, which makes it look as if Coffroth had arranged a battle for the Indianapolis lightweight on In-Operation day. The writer writes his latest is the promotion of a auto race between Rupert Jeffkins, a former mechanical at the speedway here, and Sam McVey, the negro puglist. Ray said he expected to make a big success for the Australian team. The never seen real-speed contrast LOS ANGELES—The proposed twenty-round Vernon battle between Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champion of the World War II Rovers, the Californian, scheduled for May 1, has been indefinitely postponed. Wolgast called for more time in a team that had been a cisco Athletic Club, in which he said: "Injured my hand again in fight with Young Human the other night. In May I was later date. Rivers is too good a man for me to tackle with a bad hand. I will be back in California again, as I want to give my backers an honest run for their money, and I will show that I am still in the championship run." AD WOLGAST. Baseball is a fight the world over. At the San Quentin state prison, out in California, last Sunday a week ago, the "league season" was opened with Baken Johnson throwing the first ball. A big black boy, playing second base, became incensed over what he considered the weak work of the umpire. Ah get outta here, said the negro. "You'll have to go some." grimly answered the umpire. "I beat you through the gate by three years and a A match between Gumboat Smith and Jack Blackburn, the negro fighter, was heavyweight. He weighed 195 pounds will meet before the National A. C. of Philadelphia, on the big guaranty but, as Blackburn is confident he can outpoint any of the white fighters, he still has hope of getting a fight with Georges Carpentier, the French champion, in London, the latter part of June. Michigan City, The White Sox defeated the Reds by a score of 12 to 2 last 5 Saturday afternoon in the initial baseball game of the season at Indiana State Prison. The game THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER was played between the teams composed of prisoners exclusively. During the game the prisoners took advantage of the privilege given them to play the game. The first ball was pitched by Warden E. played at intervals during the game. THE PERU'S WENT DOWN. A. B. C's Win Their Fifth Straight- White Boys Went to Pieces in the Fifth Inning. The A. B. C.'s met the Peru Specials of Peru, Ind., last Sunday at the Northwestern field, where they jumped over them by a score of 10 to 1. Peru fellows started out in good form, soaked in colorful champs down snowless until fifth in the game, meanwhile they had scored one run, the result of a high roar by Burke, and the left fieldman, backed himself up against the fence, but it was no use. He was greatly chagrined as he cleans up his scope of "country" most effectively. Steel Arm John led off in the pitcher's box for the A. B. C.'s. The Peru Specials had the fine fielding kept the score down. Manager Taylor is still working out his pitchers. It is thought that Steel Fielding held in reserve for the big games. Johnson, who was called to the box in the fourth inning, pitched a straight pitch in reach of the fielders followed. Johnson made a good impression on the fast. In the fifth the Perus went to pieces, the result of the scoring of the A. B. C.'s due to fine playing. Advance was bunting was the feature. It was never better done on those grounds. Sapho took the pitching stand in the second. He also kept the naughts in second. Powell, catcher for the A. B. C's team, took a few nings. He was cool and calm at all times. Manager Taylor took a turn at the bat. He popped up a good one, but it was nicely cared for by the Hartgrove, who had the Tailors at third and first distinguished themselves—none better. Scotch Steel pitcher "gathered them in," and with just as much certainty—Old Forty-five. Indianapolis Reserves next Sunday. Specials.

MAY OR, FOR JOURNAL Passes Both Houses Without a Dis senting Vote. Special to The Freeman. LOUISVILLE, Ky. The proposed Segregation Ordinance that passed the Board of Council some weeks ago was brought in the Board of Alderman Tuesday night and was passed without a dissenting vote. Rev. C. B. Allen, representing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, presented a petition in which he urged the upper board to withhold their Tuesday until a thorough investigation could be made of the ordinance. It is expected that the Mayor will sign the ordinance. The colored people of Louisville will resent the passage of this ordinance and it is more than likely that it will be carried to the highest courts in the hand. The colored and white citizens have always lived in a most peaceful way in this city and it had been hoped that the influence of the better class of white citizens would have been brought to bear and prevented the passage of this ordinance.

Chestnut St. Phone City 5038, Louisville Ky.) Wm. H. Craighead on Segregation. (By Roger H. Johnson, Jr. Come, we come, we gather, On these things that vex us so; We can solve these problems brother, And the clouds will surely go, And the rain will rain, Who sits high upon His throne As a faithful King and Guder Unto all who are His own. Brother, let us get together, Ere we start to right the wrongs And we start to right the wrongs, As we journey with our songs O'er the hills and through the valley, In dark regions of despair Whence our foes come forth to sally, Filling souls with fear and care. They will segregate us, brother, And we will segregate us, each right, If we do not get together, And be one man in this fight; For of one blood God created And we will not be segregated By the kings of hell or earth. Brother, let us get together; There is strength in unity, but it is strength of brother With patient humility Be cast out forever, brothers, Like the tree which beareth not, But the tree which beareth stronger, brothers, With old self dead and forgot. Let us get together, brothers, Round the tree of God graver; For, O faint and weared brothers, As yon shining orb up there, As the sun shining and the snow, And to thaw the ice and snow, He can free us from the powers Which now vex His children so. The commencement season is approaching and we are beginning to weigh our pocket books to see if they are heavy enough to stand the terrible snow, And to thaw the ice and snow, We are also preparing ourselves to receive the world conquerer as he issues forth on the field of life ready to take the world and revolutionize it all in a single day if he but had a place to stand. The first of the Commencements was the first of the world and revolutionize it was held in the main auditorium of State University Monday evening, the fourth of this month and four lawyers fully equipped to all the emergencies of the legal profession.

On the evening of the 8th of June the Central High School's commencement exercises will be held. Graduates receiving diplomas on that night. The places at which the commencement of the city schools, as yet have not been announced and we are in a position now to say where they will be held. The work of the various schools in our city needs to be commended, as they are a potent factor in the development of our race. Those young people who shall receive diplomas and degrees merit the work of our young one the sticking quality to stay until they are molded. Perhaps it might be interesting to know that the churches of our city are building magnificent structures. Everywhere, all over town, people are talking about building. Of a truth, the churches of our city are those congregations that are planning to build may be listed the Thirteenth and Broadway, Mount Lebanon Baptist, Virginian Avenue Baptist, Zion Baptist with St. Joseph's Tenant, and are under way to start a building campaign among the memorial and church of the city. Baptist church it is also to be noted that the people of the city are taking hold of the work in a happy manner. These plans are to be the effort of the other. The time is not far hence when Louisville shall be able to point with pride to her libraries and schools. It is not to be forgotten that the Calvary Baptist contemplates and said nothing, but it is the general opinion of all that Calvary's building will be the most magnificent of all. A contract has just been signed between the High School Athletic Association of Louisiana and the High School Athletic Association for a series of three games, to be played sometimes during the month of May. The first of these games will be at the school, it is expected that the series will be well attended, as both schools have a large following in the city. Last Sunday was the Million Day among the Baptists of the state. Returns have not been received from all of the students. With the Baptists of our city were very proud to report 3,013 present in their schools. The segregation ordinance has been passed and with the vote. Since President Wilson has inaugurated the watchful waiting policy, it might be well for both the friends and enemies of the race to follow this method for awhile and see how it works.

Officers will be elected. Rev. Adams, the well-known Evangelist, is conducting a revival at Quinn Chapel church. Rev. C. H. Parrish, Mrs. Bessie L.
