Now that the chair of evidence pressed by Mr. Webb is clear, it is clear that Biblical records have not advanced the senational proposition before.

While it will be an honor to for any colored person to be asked to speak for the other members of his race to railroad officials on "Railroad Day," it cannot be overlooked that the option will make one for self-seeking. The matter at stake is too important. Let the churches, secret societies, business leagues, women's clubs, etc., appraise the service given to the best of their ability. It may be well to suggest that persons who hold the respect of both races in the various communities be appointed on the committees—persons given to intemperate speech and action. These will have the greatest weight. In every case where a railroad has given or is giving colored people good service, it will be best to mention this fact to the officials and thank them for it, at the same time calling attention to the improvements in which improvements are desired. No organization or colored people should fail to appoint a representative to act with the others on "Railroad Day." To appoint such a delegate will mean much more for the race than to avoid "Brace Pride" or be "Brace Men." We are depending upon our ministers, in a very large measure, to help keep the subject of "Railroad Day" be the primary bearer of teachers do wonderful service in this direction. We have been going to conventions as delegates for number of years and we certainly must have some training in that direction by now. Let us see how well we can use our training in the subject better accommodations for colored people on trains, in depots and on street cars. BONHAM, TEXAS, NEWS.

Simpson Jackson, the brilliant financial Church, delivered the fraternal message of that connection to the General Conference of the Colored Methodist Church, the fraternal Lane Tabernacle on Fairfax avenue, Dr. Jackson is a natural orator, as well as a powerful gospel preacher, and his work is a demonstration. It showed a rare familiarity with the history and triumphant achievement philosophical summary of the lessons the past gave to the religious leaders of this day and generation was of great importance. He was a plenary at large. His sagacious utterances were greeted with frequent and hearty address. His magnificent address, Dr. Jackson was an ovation and the proceedings came to a halt for some time to give the congregation the opportunity to come forward and grant the congregation an evident Zionite in warm congratulation. The following is a copy of a telegram from the leading forces of the C. M. E. Church. "Rev. J. S. Jackson, financial secretary, delivered the fraternity address, General Conference of the C. M. E. Church in this city (St. Louis) today and to an audience of more than 1,500 members of the fraternity address ever delivered on more previous general conference. The address covered the greater portion of the table of the two churches and reviewed the miraculous progress of the race as a whole." Signed: R. T. Brown, F. A. Bailley, C. L. Browne, H. Phillips, A. J. Cobb, J. W. Gibble. Immediately following the delivery of his address, Dr. Jackson went to his home in Birmingham, Ala., to preside over the trustees of the trustees of Livingstone College, which held its session this week at sarsbury, N. C. As is well known, Dr. Jackson was on one of the certainties of the General Conference which sits in Louisville in 1916. NEWS OF GULFPORT, MISS.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY. MAY 30, 1914. MEMBER NATIONAL TOUCH PRESS ASSOCIATION Das Vaterland is some more boat, ya. Today is Decoration Day—May 30th. Cheers for the living, tears for the dead. The speedway event somewhat obscures Decoration Day in this community, but the spirit to honor the dead heroes is still living. Speed was the talk this week. Everything in the automobile line took on new life—hitting 'em up everywhere. The Speedway event and the preliminaries were the cause. Mr. Roosevelt promises to be in the running in 1916. And as it was expected, Well, this is a free country. A man may aspire to what he wishes. The colonel can't run unless he has support. So don't lay it all on him. Dr. Booker T. Washington has made a good impression on the country by his effort to have the railroad officials to do the proper thing by the Negro patrons. He asks that the various organizations and influential citizens make their wants known to railroad men in some effective way. Report comes from Liberia that Major Young, U. S. A., has captured a bold savage chief who has been pestering the peaceful inhabitants of that state. The erstwhile gallant major has found it necessary to confine his operations to the chief Bungalos; but that's what he there for as unromantic as the job happens to be. An exchange says that R. W. Thompson, the well known newspaper correspondent, has been promoted to a clerkship in the office of the Supervising Architect, Treasury Department, Washington, D. C. Mr. Thompson has been too modest to advertise the fact in the publications of Indianapolis, where he is so well known. He is deserving of anything that is likely to come to him, owing to匀ity and distinguished services rendered. Editor Harry Smith of Cleveland, Ohio, has announced himself for the legislature of that State. Mr. Smith set forth his accomplishments when he was a member of that body. Among these was a civil rights bill and an anti-lynching law. From a race point his services were highly meritorious and perhaps generally so. The chances of the Republicans are looking a little blue most everywhere, consequently all forces are necessary to a victory. This means that Mr. Smith is likely to be nominated, because the Negro vote is needed. News has reached this city of the death of George W. Chivis, the publisher of the "Railroad Porter's Guide." Mr. Chivis was very successful in his publication. He traveled extensively, pushing his paper as he went. His journal was in the interest of the railroad porter and waiters. As such he catered to the great concerns of the country that dealt in supplies for hotels and dining room cars. He was very successful in placing high-class advertisements of this kind. He was a prince of good fellows spending his money as freely as it came to him. His friends throughout the country will hear of his death with regret. Mr. Chivis lived in Indianapolis a short while some years ago. He died in Los Angeles, Cal. What we want in this country is a party which will do the simple but profound thing which Lincoln did, that is, gather up the common sense, the common honesty, the common patriotism, the common courage and the common righteousness of the common people of this country, and organize it into a militant, progressive, disciplined force for legal and social justice, and do it all under the constitution and laws of this blessed old republic—Senator Borah. We have it, sir. It's the Progressive party.—The Indianapolis Star. But isn't that the same Borah who joined with Messrs. Tillman and Vardaman in the effort to put the Negroes out of the constitution. What's all the high talk for? The sounding brass and tinkling cymbals proposition suits his case. It is a blessed old republic all right, but if he had his way it would be a cursed old republic. Mr. Villard of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People says that the society is opposed to the intermarriage of white and colored people. At the same time he says that it is opposed to laws prohibiting such marriages. He is right and proper. Intermarriage is opposed owing to the strong sentiment against it. It is not much more desired by Negroes than the white people. In fact, if there's any desire on the part of colored people it is not shown. Prohibition of marriages by laws because such laws not be laws. They would be prescriptions—a species of outlawry. We do not send representatives to Congress to read us out of the benefits of the laws. We are theoretically represented, if not fully, hence the point holds good. Ten million Negroes are represented at Washington; and not for elimination. To suffer in the least by the general government is an irreparable wrong. NOT EXPECTED IN THE ARMY AND NAVY. It is given out that the Army and Navy Department at Washington has issued an order that no colored man should be accepted for either branch of the service. This sounds rather silly taking it that the race question has influenced the decision. We are proceeding on the theory that the order was really given, and as we have reason to believe. The order and the expressions of Negroes, those who insist that they will not fight Mexico, are of a kind. We are silly enough. We are aware of the meaning of the Negroes who thus express themselves, but such expressions puts us further from the goal of our ambition—total citizenship. We hope that our country will not find it necessary to war with Mexico. But in the event we have no right to question the wisdom of the ordering, at least, to the extent of hesitancy. Our country permits free speech. We can oppose the war in our arguments, but this opposition is not meant to thwart the will of the powers that be by open rebellion. At this noday of civilization highly civilized countries do not thoughtlessly plunge their peoples into war. We concede the ministers of our affairs wisdom and understanding. To rebel against the majority opinion is no part of the plans of advanced peoples. England is battling with its County of Ulster, refusing to sacrifice a governmental tenet, as peculiar as the condition is. In our own country it is pretty nearly the same. Negroes are "standing out from the war" because they are poorly treated as citizens. We are with them in a manner, as a further protest against civil wrongs. But when the gong of war sounds, should it sound—God forbid that it should—it is our duty to stand up with the country. Its disaster is the disaster of all. Its shame our shame. Many a man has been done to "death" by the courts, robbed of his means and pauperized until his "third" generation, and still he is a good patriot. The Negro's case is something similar. The integrity of the nation is to be preserved in order that we continue to enjoy what we do. We mutter because of civil wrongs and which is right; but we should not get away from the fact that the Negroes in America are a blessed people, by contrast. And if we will consider everything in the light of things with men as they concern nations one is not much out of the way to say that we are a "chosen" people. This has in mind the opportunities to do and to be. We say without a fear of successful contradiction, that the American Negro's opportunity in every way of progress is unlimited. We are prodigal with our opportunities, pitching them to the "sweine," as it were. Our citizenship is our one serious trouble. But whatever be the cause, thinking it be owing to the expressions of the Negroes heard and seen in print, the authorities should be in better business than making faces at the race. We are not to be dealt with wholesale, but individually. What one, two or a half dozen individuals may say is not to be set down as the sentiment of the entire race. The authorities are doing less than their duty, or exceeding it when drawing lines on any class of people who are citizens because of the nationality. The government is not a thing of sets of men. It stands for all or it stands for nothing. It may endure in spite of the fact that it stands for nothing, but like individuals, unless a change of heart comes about it will strike a snag some of these times. It is against the religions we embrace that wrong should forever triumph. The Negroes are citizens. CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE DOPE. Teams Slowly Rounding Into Shape (By W. J. H. S.) NASHVILLE, Tenn., Special—The six clubs of the league played their sched- away fashion—all of the games being characterized by heavy slugging and long each manager is trying to pick from his bunch the regulars that will make the kick for the pennant. Each player is in the player limit (17 men) by June 18. With the exception of the Athletics, who have practically the same club, the year, four, or five times presented, the firm, regular line-up. The pitchers are not showing the form which was expected of them, Martin Hickman, one of only ones who are in tip-top condition. Brooks and Buchanan, of the Sox, have not struck their stride yet; Branham, team-mate, of the Nationals, and team-mate, Alexander—both excellent twirlers with the Swifts, are not quite "Box" Lewis, of the Nationals, will do better later. The Y. M. C. A's are still experimenting. Manager Cublette has his club in the running. The Ford brothers, Thomas and Lewis, and Ira Blair, three of the classiest hurlers in the league, have their wings and as a result the A. M. E.'s, with perhaps the heaviest hitting club in the league, have lost all three of the four games played, having tied one. Some classy ball is expected of all the clubs in the next few days, and are the idees of June, one to four scores will decide many contests. CUBAN STARS IN SERIES HERE First Three Games, Giants Win One and Loose Two—A. B. C's. to Play Decoration Day and Sunday. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, III., May 26—(Special to the Freeman)—Mollini and his famous Cuban Stars arrived in the city as Friday and Opened the series on Sat. 27. The Stars visited the American Giants Park, $5th and Wentworth avenue. Owing to the weather being so cloudy and drizzling of rain large crowd did not greet the visitors on the opening day, but they got a good drenching by their opponents. It was a tough game, but the Americans were anxious to take the first game, and they did so with ease. It was their fifth straight victory of the season. Dougherty pitched in the first game and was second. He was in splendid form and only one hit was registered against him. It was a batting game for the Cuban Stars. Monroe Booker and Dougherty got hits and placed them well. The Cubans went up in the air in the lethigh, when five errors netted six runs. The scores: business.

Richard Jackson of the Hoosier theatre, Indianapolis, may well be called a master of the traps, but Jackson's excellent experience can considerably enhance its excellence to the fine playing of Jackson. He has surrounded himself by known instrument that can help him play a plure house orchestra what it should be. Mr. Jackson has auto horns, boat whistles, bells, tambourines, saxophones, a most complete outfit. These instruments are fittingly handled. His bells on which he is succeeding nicely, is a instrument, and adds greatly to the music. Mr. Jackson's wife, who presides at his assistant, has been so proficient that when Mr. Jackson is absent the audience is none the wiser. He has purchased a saxophone, and is assistant. She has been playing, judging by his work on the clarinet. So it will be seen that Mr. Jackson is an all around musician. His business the closest attention. He is pleasant to meet, modest, genteel. He sends regards to many friends in and of profession. EASTERN THEATRICAL NEWS. (By Billy E. Jones.)

The management team on pleasing, gifty displays attracts biggest possible value for their money. The Mills Sisters. The Mills Sisters, Florence and Olivia, are new faces to this house. They are a graceful, classy pair, doing everything together. Olivia does male impersonation with a delightful, rompish freedom, thus making scenes with her partner. She is handsome, well-matched, cally well, she does her "Green Grass All Around" stunt. Her steps here are eccentric and amusing, and in a pathetic way "I Love You Most of All." She is nicely received. They do a neat running song, "If I Hire You I Will Want to Go Out." Both are seen here to advantage, including their neat dance movements. The act is pleasing all the way through. They are pleasing personality off of the stage. They are also of good appearance when performing. Burton and Robinson Burton and Robinoh have an act of quality. They are heard singing "Oh quality," and Robinoh is known before they enter. This is followed by a running talk, Robinson doing the comedian end. They put over a number of good gags and jokes. Robinoh is running "Bag to Be Excused." This is full of fun, and which Robinoh knows how to bring out. Burton, an operatic baritone of fine voice, shows up well in "I Wish You Keep Out of My Dreams." He is in costume de rigur, and being of fine art, he arrives. The song is put over in good style. Their afterpiece is a bit of fetching business, and Robinoh playing the trumpet and Robinoh is comedian Burton is one of the two performers who plays a wind instrument and also sing. Their act is a good one all the way through. Jones and Carson do some delightful Tangoing. The audience appreciated the pretty work. Spencer Finley was there with a new budget of funny sayings. He is one of those few monologists that can play with an entirely new "bill of fare." THE PASTIME THEATRE. DETROIT, MICHIGAN. The Unique Theatre Changes Hands The Unique Theater, of Detroit, Mich., which has been managed by A. Johnson, is now under the management of V. A. Johnson, who is also the owner. The theater passed hands for the construction of the house for Mr. Johnson is a citizen of high esteem in the city of Detroit.

Good, moral shows are promised and in the interest of A. A. Johnson, owner; J. Wesley Blucher, owner; Burt Howard, planer; Blucher The Sparks' show is doing a good business in West Virginia and Ohio. The Sparks' theater business now than it has in the past three years. I must also say Mr. Sparks is just about the best man in the business. He wears a happy smile, Mr. Tipton, the steward, is a man born and reared in the business, and how to feed. Believes in giving plenty of strawberry short cake and everything that is good to eat. Cal Powers, the best in the business and one thing the band boys like about him is his whistle, to play. The boys said he is some lover of music. The minstrel bunch get along like one happy family. They love the clever singing and dancing and funny sayings. Mack Carter, stage manager, and roar 'em, send 'gards all over the theater and out of the theater. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Bartino's Dogs. Extra Good.

Madam Vena in Telepathy at the New Museum Esther Bileou Miller Charms The chief attraction at this house was Vena, a beautiful seeress in telepathy, assisted by J. A. Downing, whose work in the audience was to help her to be a seeress, swerved. Esther Bijean Miller again charmed with her art treasury of song and cleverness and Joe Sandiford made her a seeress, but his new act with his lady, who is attractive, did not surpass his former days' work. Mores & Edwards appended the apples to his night too late for theoration. Renolds & Beaver (white) and Parker & Cross and Brown & Brown, winners, dancing contest takes place Wednesday night and the Old monogram bill will be seen here on Decoration Day. Charles Young, Baritone-tenor at the Monogram—Saint Good Creates the Monogram Charles Young, whom I first heard in Williams & Walkers original Abyssinia, at least eight years ago, was the artist that filled this house last Monday evening. Mr. Young sings cabaret music on the stage and a medley which shows his to be the freshest and best voice heard in colored vaudeville. Sam Jackson's solos were artistically comedy favorites of the hill. Good's own song, "Buy Some Beer," was good. Jackson's solos were artistically created a furor. Anderson & Holmes were return favorites and Anderson's scare scene was again artfully realisitated. Anderson's articulate and pronounce her words correctly, was favorably received, especially her humming song. The scene annotated by Jones and Curtis (colored). The dancing contest takes place Saturday. **Colored Show Comes to the Pekin.** The five cent picture shows were interrupted last Monday evening by the performance of Drakes' colored musical comedy, which opened Monday last, giving two shows in evening. A review of the show has to be deferred until the next issue. AMONG THE MOVIES. The States—"A Cry of the Night" would be the occasion, draw well at this house.

The Fountain—"The Crucible of Fate." This house needs an orchestr The Star—"In the Midst of the Jun- gle" drew well. This house, which is sman and under exclusive color images, is a key location in the stated that Jesse Binga is interested in the enterprise. The Kathlyn No. 11 pulled well here.

The theatrical offerings of Fifth St. were better and classier than has been the past. The theater, in the adjoining涯ville, held sway at every theater and headquarter appreciating this fact, we were heavy. The Whistler. This act was novel as it is the only one of its kind on colored time, and goes on to describe the effects as any on big time. His institutions were perfect and his singing good. His natty appearance gives his effect. It is a good class offering. Muriel Ringold Followed with character impersonation and songs, three in number and the rest by Ringold vim, as this little actress is practically great. There are few colors she is kind. Lewis & Lewis. The closing act was good. They have worked together some time and were very good. The writer. We have seen this act working better. The entire bill was good and the same nice, which pleased Colonial Brown. THE LINCOLN Had good business all owing to the attraction to managers. This week was opened by "String Beans" and the house was stormed by the house. They remind you of the days of Butter & Sweetie. They have had since then. Gaston & Jackson followed with a good little act, a Williams & Walker skit that was a strike from the start. These cute little fellows are always welcomed here. The Stock. George Taylor and Cliff Ross began their laugh making and were again successful. Mr. T. Nobby Gales sends his regards to friends and says write. Dixieland Park. As large as this park is it could not accommodate the mass of people who attended Burton's production, which has been creating a sensation here. Mr. Burton is a stage manager and has experience as an structurer and knows what an audience wants. He offered a great vaudeville gift in a good afterpiece and draws the crowds. Burton & Kinkle Doo opened the bill, using "Ragtime Music Man," breaking right into a line of talk that was funny and got laughs. He then going away less, skidle waltzing and light on "Olive Train," which she put over in that usual hand getting style characteristic to Kinkie Doo. Burton came back saying "Thank you" to the crew on Noah's Neither. Doo, Musi Oblige, and hit hard. Earl can sing. The talent in this act prevented us from being surprised at the heavy applause, received. They closed with Nobby Johnny Lee followed. Neat, natty and classy, is what can be said about this single, guaranteed to make good on white or dark jeans. The best of the pea beak, "did it with a style and grace that makes one think for the moment they are viewing a keel!" He has a short story causing a burst of laughter, immediately entering into "Cozy Rag," which was his get away number, "doing many bows. A good single." Byrd & Byrd able and capable of closing the vau- deville. Joe & Birdle came rattling on with "That College Blaz" the Bac- sonville comedian, young, healthy and full of comedy, a ready spitter and the lithe and pretty Chattanooga sou- brete brought new interest to the audience with their opening song after which Joe immediately broke into a dispute that created a rapld fire dis- JOE BYRD. cussion in which Joe showed himself so simple the audience was kept in an uproar at his absurd remarks. He had to be careful not to offend who then tries to pacify him by singing a love song, "Sweetie Sweet," that took effect at once so strong she had to bow again and again to retire so easily that he would vate consultation with the audience, who would not get serious as he vainly tried to express his feelings, they would be offended with mother he brushed off so sharply a bit at turf of "Air Turkey Straw," using exem- porenous verses which made them cry for more every time he attempted to join his wife in the wings. Returning together they delivered "I'm Glad You're Goin', in encore style. This act can hold their own with any colored. Joe Byrd has been doing the principal comedy in all the productions at this park and is a favorite for more every time he in the big acts is exceedingly clever. The afterpiece was a hit also. Mr. Saunders, who often a pleak a scream each time is what keeps the park crowded. Mr. Kee Valentine, the manager, has shown the case in acting the show down to actual workers. The "Tar Babby Four," will open in Chicago on Friday. Two well known actors in this act are Buddie Saunders and Casey Jones. NOTES FROM SUNNY DIXIE MIN STRELS. By J. W. Wright.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TRE, PHILADELPHIA The approaching end of the theatrical season has as yet wrought no change at the popular New Standard theatre, where audiences or in the quality of the acts offered for amusement. Leading the bill this week are two people who made themselves famous. Rome they joined their audience as a music Room, their piano and slide trombone playing and their singing and dancing, which are above the average, have made them a crowd in need. Arents made merry in singing, dancing, music and eccentric comedy, and Brown made good in the telephone and court. The sensitivity to the bill in her dazzling creations in the famous fire dance, serpentine, rainbow, electrical ribbons and corseted costumes, coined. Then there was a lot of timely nonsense by Glenn and Martin. Glenn and Brogdale, another merrymaking act, received with decided favor and elicited much applause, adding to the merit of the show with fun and frolic. 1221 Fine Street, Philadelphia, PA 1 NOTES FROM THE INTERNA TIONAL SHOWS.

Cand and "do" something quite PERFORMERS, TAKE The Freeman has received Good News in an unfortunate position since all brother The Freeman will glad NASHVILLE, TENN, BECOMING A NATIONAL COL BRED, THEATRICAL For many years, until a few months ago, the colored citizens of Nashville, the city of Nashville, were the most mentions. The church festival and concert having gone to seed, many Nashvillians would spend their vacations in Nashville, where they might, without suffering the warism, "enjoy themselves as others do. But a great change has taken place, as the city has become the building of the handsome Majestic Theatre, by A. N. Johnson, seemed to start things, and it now promises to be a place where dancers are invested for the legitimate amusement and recreation of the colored folks of this the capital city, where owners are noted for culture and refinement. Of the many places opened already, the Exec Theatre on Cedar street, the Exec Theatre on the corner owners determined to get the best of everything in their line, and each night the crowds attest how well they are for. For moving pictures the "Excel Theatre" uses the Warner Features," the Daily Illustrated News Bulletins, the Daily Illustrated News Bulletins, with the best of illustrated songs, featuring Miss Georgia M. Hooper, one of the sweetest of our professional ones. The entire programs are changed daily, giving excellent service, and the notwithstanding the great crowds each night, is exceptional. The staff consists of this house is due to those who have it in charge; J. W. Bostick, the manager, is one of the most popular colored men in this city, and the staff is fort of others, and "on the job" every minute from the opening of the doors at midday until they close at midnight. James W. Kean, and Mrs. Florence Watkins, the ticket seller, are always striving to please and make every visitor feel welcome. The "Excel" management are planning to either enlarge the present room, secure a second theatre in which will be used colored slides exclusively. Cedar street now in Nashville, with its beautiful and becomingly gowned women, and the merry but orderly crowds, reminds one of the theatrical centers of York, Chicago and other great cities. THE GLOBE THEATER KICKBACK (By W. A. Barclay) JACKSONVILLE, FLa., May 21—To the Sporting Editor Freeman. I wish to say that the broad statement of the "Browns" in the Freeman columns last week was that the performers against the "beat-game" of southern opera house managers, may in the main be true, but as to this house (Globe) the statement is not southern opera house managers. I am not on the inside and cannot speak definitely up that the Globe management is neither in any such combine nor has it at any time been our habit or practice to defraud or detain any performer who has any combine' nor has this statement we defy contradiction. At no time during the eight years of Mr. Frank Crowd's management of the Globe, we have been connected any 'combine' not performed by performer be found who has worked for him with whom he has failed to settle any contract. Indeed, it has been the practice of this house to over-pay in many instances. Were the whole truth told, would the wretched performers have dealt the Globe management severe, unfair, unreasonable and intolerable blows. But, with us, we have at no time registered For the good of all concerned, FRANK CROWD. Proprietor Globe Theater. PROF. W. A. BAICLAY. Manager Globe Theater. CINCINNATI SHOW NOTES (By T. Nobby Gales.) The weather is now made to order for the amusement resorts along Fifth street and the only reason they don't have a show is because they haven't got the attractions. Quite a stir was up among the performers are playing at the Diverleigh Park. The crowd, the sudden closing of Mr. Ike Paul, their producer and stage manager, were all crossing done, while others clamored not to be so. Any way, Paul is no more. We show at the Pelkin Theater this week ought to be up to the standard, as they have J. Francis Moras, the great character baryton, and his vaudeville partner, Miss Edwards, so Satanka, and Morton and Morton. The show looks good.

Use More of Our Own Compositions. Mr. Editor, Dear Sir—I am a constant reader of this valiant and progressive colored journal, The Freeman, of which have the highest esteem, and living indeed in our comments on our colored performers and writers of music, and being a pianist and entertainer, I use a lot of reason why we should not use more of our own people's writings. I am quite sure that they would be using them of the book we would they could be purchased. I call this matter to your attention and would be pleased to have you give it some of our valuable music. I would be a media help us in many ways. I am sure. If there is any information you can give me on the subject, I will be creately pleased to hear from you. I am sure that there is a perpetual success of your paper and its supporters, I beg to remain. Yours respectfully, C. LOFTON, Box 958, Sacramento, al. DALLAS, TEX., THEATRICAL NEWS. (By Billy Johnson.) I visited the Star Theatre, Dallas, Texas, unknown to the performers as I am touring the state in the beehall to write the stories. I write the houses up as I pass through the actors and actresses of the Star Theatre were new to me with the exception of Miss Petrona Lazzo, who was born in New York and an extra good voice; his partner Muss The bill opened with Whitman & White. Mr. Whitman is clever with an extra good voice; his partner, Miss Petrona, is a good partner. They work well together. The last act, an Indian drama, was a man who needs to moderate her voice in talking as her voice is screechily with her laughter. She did. Otherwise, this act was good. QUIT TALKING AND DO SOME THING. (By David A. Putter.) It appears to me that the time has come for our colored capitalist (yes, we are capitalists) to and accomplish something. I think that by this time they should have become more like fellow fellows and fellow can make money out of the theatrical business, they can also make money out of it. I think there are people who are colored people' in every city, and especially so in the south. I'm sure that there are enough people in every city to build and operate successfully a theatrical enterprise. I am also sure that there are enough people among our many performers. And please don't think for a moment that the colored people should patronize a colored, but for the reason that it is Just as good or better than the other people, you can give people something for their money and will sure come back. Now, Mr. Cap- lain, "take it," "talking" and "do" something quick. PERFORMERS, TAKE NOTICE.

"Your Face Looks Familiar, But I Can't Place You—Next Week. Into a booking office Walked an actor, old and gray, "I'd like to see the agent." All the loungers heard him say. The office boy walked up to him while he waited for his graft, I never heard of you before So go on, make me laugh. The actor sadly bowed his head, and wiped away a tear, Then said, "Please tell the agent That a friend is waiting here." The office boy took in his card and came out with a grin, "All right there, Jig," he loudly cried "The boss says, come right in." The actor slowly crept into the room to watch he heard a voice say, "Sit right down And I will see you soon." The actor, quite nervously, as he leaned against his cane, "I hope you'll book my act next week String Beans is my name." The agent looked up from his books and gazed at him awhile Then to give the very thesian He lived out in a familiar: Your face looks quite familiar But I can't place you—next week, If you can't wait 'till July 4, And if your act makes good out there I'll book you at Plike's Peak But I can't place you—next week, But I can't place you—next week WANTED AT ONCE Performers in all lines for vandellee Would like to hear from A No. 1 piano player Write or write E.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE WHEN BUSIE USED TO PITCH. You talk about your twirlers, Matty and Marquard, and the marcher, speed boy Johnson. There also a band them up a few. There also Ed Walsh. Don't throw don't throw in the ditch. But let go back to days gone by when Russie used to pitch. We boy, he wasn't six foot all, but, my speed, speed; Did he skim through every stitch. He never used to miss a game that Rusie used to pitch. New York once was crazy about this Rusie man. There was no other twirler like him in and around. Cubs they used to fear him, the poor ones and the rest. And they had a right to do so when he was at his best. Soon his days were over, a most regretful time. Fans they used to cheer him soon fell off of line. Cubs no more would fear him when they found his arm no warmer games they used to pitch. SPORT BRIEFS AND COMMENT The Recent Langford-Willis Bout- Joe Jeanneau-Moran-John Morgan-Moran-John (By Billy Lewis.) Reports differ as to who got the decision in the recent goat at New Orleans between Sam Langford, the Willis brothers, of that city and mainly enough those there are famous. The Times-Democrat-Picayne is especially proud of the young Karego, who was the subject of Mr. Johnson. This publication and it that Willis got the decision. Information from other sources has it that Langford, since he would put in a very tough fight, would mean very much to the decision. It means very much to Willis, since he would put in a very tough fight, would mean very much to Langford, because he can not very well afford to be beaten by obscure men, in view of his position for the heavy-armship. The New Orleans publication had the following Llangford, Boston's world-famous Negro heavyweight, started too late last night, and when he reached the wire after a tenure in the Harry Wills, local Neighbourhood champion, who put up the greatest fight of his young career. Wills earned the decision on him in the first round of the fight, but he did not win by much of a margin over Llangford, he showed enough "stuff" in his fight last night to demonstrate that with a little more confidence he will be a hard man to "Langford was too confident. He went into the ring under the impression that he would local favorites he has polished off in his long career. The fact that he was beaten by the idiot, Nor did the second. He did not realize that he was against it until the fourth round. By that time he had allowed his tall and stiff opponent to get a big lead. The publication speaks of Willis as lacking confidence, a very inconsistent man about the lack of confidence Langford. It strikes me that it would not matter very much to the Willis enthusiasts about the lack of confidence Langford in putting it over on his opponent. As partisan as the publication seems, the press is not content for both of the Negroes. It starts out, it will be noted, by saying that Langford is world famous. It seems that Langford is not content but that goes in the business. Over a column of the paper was devoted to the fight, concluding by giving the ten Introduction, a portion of which is given, is happy and indicative of the interest in the match. In speaking for the crowd, the Times-Demoerat- "One of the greatest crowds which has attended a ring contest here in recent years saw the two black heavy-winged birds, it was the fact that many persons went there with solid coin in their hands and couldn't get in. More than five thousand fans were sitting in the dark where the body was held, while there probably was a thousand more who didn't get in. The general admission seats were sold out and the liminary started. Anxious Negroes were on the grounds as early as 6 o'clock. The stands went in a hurry. The ringside seats were sold. Finally the great mob eager to get in and a body of several hundred fans determined to get in threatened to break through the doors on the telephoned headquarters long before the crowds. When the crowd outside made actual demonstrations against the gates were again thrown open, then the gates were instructed to tell everyone there was standing room. Hundreds of fans, unwilling to be separated from the ringside seats and the between the ringside seats and the ground. It was an immense crowd." --- to go after the gentleman right to keep him from making a monkey of him. He will have the arm and a right. Moran has whipped no one of the sequence. He stopped Al Palzer when he heard Janette say that Johnson is in fine form, weighing 240 pounds. He will lose considerable of this by June 27, that he expects to be in superb form. Janette said: To show how I stand with the Freeman, I beat the face of the fight in which I beat Meve the mea a handsome medal and a countess wrist with a wrist watch, but I was ashamed to wear it, and my wife owns it now." WHAT'S DOING IN SPORTING CIRCLES. Information from New Orleans has it that Harry Willis lost to Sam Lang-publication had it that Willis had the Boston Tar Baby. What about it? The promoters of the Jack Dillon-Levinsky fight at the Federal park on the night before the big race wired Gumbeat Smith today and secured his nomination of the Dillon-Levinsky scrap, the bout to be staged July 4. Just what has not been learned, in the matter has not been learned, the promoters are proceeding along the line that permission will be given to a second fight show in Indianapolis. SAN FRANCISCO No. 5 lane in the 100-yard straight-toward University of California, where Howard Drew of the University of South Carolina is in 9-3-5 seconds on March 28, is seven-weights of an inch over 100 yards long and ascends an inch and a quarter in straightway, where on May 10, 1913, Fred Kelly of the University of California set a new world's high hurdle of five-eighth inches over distance. Both records were certified formally by officials of the Pacific Association of the University Union and forwarded to New York. --- Gunboat Smith and Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby, were matched this afternoon to boy twenty rounds of the NHL. The fight will be promoted by P. Joseph Anthony American now living in London. **Joe Jeansette has received a letter from his manager, Danny McKetrick, who is in Paris, stating that Dick McKetrick will be given Jeansette gothic decision over Bell a Australian heavyweight, next month. Danny says $30,000 in the decision over Bell in a bout in London a few weeks ago.** ... Another colored boy is coming to the front in amateur athletics and it will have a rival. The newcomer is named Butler and he is a member of the Hutchinson, Kas, high school track and field team. The inter-scholastic meet held last week Butler was the star. His school won the meet with a score of 45 points. WEST BADEN, Ind.—The Sprudels defeated the Cuban Stars in a fast game day. McKenna and the hitting of Kyle Kennard and Shively were the features of the game.

MILWAUKEE, Mason 23—Flight fans were confident, today, that they will have another opportunity of seeing Al Wolgast and Willie Ritchie mix things on for a match on July 4, and the promoters are confident of arranging the bout. Decision of meetings of the team will be as clean cut as many fans like. BOSTON—Dan (Porky) Flynn was given the decision over Jim Johnson, the ex-Paris waiter, who fought a battle with the defender of the seventh dawn of December, in a twelve-round bout at the Atlas A. A., May 20. In no round with the exception of the seventh dawn of December, Flynn won advantage. In this session he caught Emphasis jaw with a left hook that sent the local boy to the mat just as the bell sounded. Flynn came back strong in the second round, dinging covering to protect himself. The decision was well received. Bob Edgren has not overlooked the point that the great spinner, is likely to do as much good for the reputation of his race as Jack Johnson did harm. Drew is an amateur, and he has not so "swelled head," although his performances might excuse quite a little conceit. He is the greatest spinner of his time, and no one who has ever played him has his well earned, and well deserved popularity. Drew is the exact antithesis to Johnson, a clean living, clean-minded athlete who exhibition something worth while in the future. Kid Cotton won an eight-round battle from Rough House Wares the other night in Memphis. The coarse cotton was infected with the "rabbit," but the result of this encounter would cause one to shift Southern Negroes to Southern Negroes has been cleaning up all the tough boys south of the Mason and Dixon line until he met the result of the parts seven years ago, or after Jack Johnson had whipped Jim Jeffries, being a training partner of Johnson, for a white thought he had a champion.

According to Corcoran, Cotton has the ability, but lacked control for a white thought he had a top-notcher.

The visitors worked on Stallard, cleaning up four runs. Then the work where Johnson left off, permitting nothing of interest to happen. Romaine, the Reserve pitcher, cavorted and all that, but the colored lads found him and pounded him. He willingly summed up vain effort to retrieve. McElrish, whom he had to retrieve, job, but to no purpose. If anything, he was worse than Romaine, who had read the rules, way way up in field, where he resisted the referee. Elfresh got worse every minute. He tried to retire. He wanted some one to help him, but he took up his burden again. But the battle waged so sore that a council of war and Romaine was called from retirement. The first, the last, the best The Cinchinatus of the West Thus it seemed. Romaine took up the white man's burden once more. He tried to make the same as the same, hence failed as the Cinchinus of the West. He just sent the box to the box. He was just as good as the rest of them, no better. The whole push of white fellows threw the surrender, but the fans wished that the fight be won, reluctantly reoccupied the field.—W. L.

B. C's of Indianapolis and Chicago. Also, ball fans of Indianapolis, it is said, are equally as anxious to learn the date to which Foster's crew will arrive, as worrying strong "hall tossing" is expected of both teams since the ownership of the Indiana club has secured such an efficient manager and player as C. I. Tayler and J. Den Spruels. It is expected that a large delegation of fans will come to Indiana in the future to see the of the hardest baseball battles ever put up by colored players in Cook county. Manager C. I.

Round 4—The fighting was fairly even, with Blackburn taking most of his bouts and he continually bored in and frequently hit the face that set him to spitting blood. Round 5—Blackburn was dropped for the count, which he took resting on one knee and then bored to a motion, however, and was not in any trouble when he got up. He had to make a fast finish. Blackburn displayed considerably more action than he had in the earlier rounds, but there was no power in his punches and he was always on the ball. He had to that the sailor carried in either hand. Considering the difference in weight, John had to be more aggressive than the sailor's seconds were Bob Deady, George Cole and Sam Boland. It must be remembered that Blackburn's showing has a right to be classified with the best of the middleweights. He possesses all of his old cleverness and generality, and will develop his punch to the punch of old. He was beaten but not disgraced, and strength was the factor in his defeat. It was a dine bourn and he had more than their share of thrills. J. H. GRAY. 1212 Pine Street, Philadelphia, Pa. JOHNSON MAY FOOL 'EM. So Says Joe Jeanette of the Coming Big Rout. NEW YORK, May 14—Joe Jeannette, the colored fighter, arrived yesteryear with a jacket and a jacket with his wife and child, after being abroad several months, during which he said he had boxed six matches. "Won five," said Joe on the pier, "and lost one against Balla, the Australian, who is some fighter, believe me." What do you think of the chances of Frank Moran against Johnson? he was asked. "What do you think of the chances of Frank Moran against Johnson?" he was asked. "What do you just this way: If all the stories that are going around about the way Johnson has gone to pieces through drink and drink and drink, you ought to be easy for Moran to whip him. But," here Jeannette became very impressive in his manner, on the screen, and he won. "True, Frank Moran won't win." He spoke as though he felt sad at the prospect that he would happen to the title White Hope if the latter version proved to be correct. Jeannette was informed by the repressor Gunboat Smith going abroad to fight the boxer Carpenter, in July, and was asked to thought of the man as the winner. "I think that Carpenter has a good chance," said the colored fighter, "a good boxer and has a good stiff arm." "Can he stand punishment well?" "Yes, he is game enough. In a match he is in, him, Carpenter len to him an awful size, and he could hardly see, but he fought on. I think he has a good chance to defeat Stuart." Jeannette said that he was going to his home in West Hoboken, and hoped to remain there for a long time. He has no specific plans, he added. GUNBOAT SMITH TWICE FLOORS JACK BLACKBURN. Philadelphia—Jack Blackburn, the colored boxer, never had a chance to win at the National A. C. against Gumbotbass second. At the start both men diddled when Smith suddenly hurled forward with a left swing that Blackburn ducked. Jack had to go in close, but before could land with a right uppercut that sent him rolling over on his back. Blackburn go up on one knee, with blink of the forearm before his nose. He took the count of nine and then resumed operations. It was an awful smash. In the fifth round Smith rushed wildly, swinging with right and left, and Blackburn and Blackburn way and then another. Finally Smith and caught him and down he went again, and Smith and down the blood run down over the colored man's肘. It was Smith's bout beyond a doubt. AROUND THE WORLD BY MOTOR CYCLE. T. H.
