Hancock, St. Louis, Mo; John Brunkhurst and Olheimer, Fine Art Building, Joseph Ulim, Kimba Hall, Chicago; Chas Lezier, Louisville; Lugi Von Kuntz, Pittsburgh Pa. From the courses of these teachers he has established for his race the largest, best and cheapest practical music school in Chicago, where all classes and stringed instruments, mandolin, guitar and piano are taught. It is the best because its course of study is carefully selected from the best teachers in the country. It is the cheapest because there is no school existing with prices as low. It is practical because they teach only the playing of instruments.

The National Half-Century Universities Exposition next year at Chicago will be big things. A favor loses its savor when the circumstance can change to "you" every time you turn around. Senator Borah, an enthusiastic prohibitionist, says the Negro race boast of one superiority over their counterparts. They are not proprietors of a single school or manufactory of whiskey, beer or any other intoxicating Liquor. In Nashville, 1,033 Negroes are engaged in business or in the professions of the colored Bishops: Bishop C. H. Phillip, the C. M. E. church, Bishop I. B. Scott, and Bishop Evans Tyrce, of the A. M. E. church. The Texas editors are to meet June 13 at Beaumont, Texas, under call of W. E. King, of the Dallas Express and Bishop Evans Tyrce, of the A. M. E. church. The meeting ought to be productive of great good to the twenty-five or more race papers in the Lone Lake Journal, which the Joy will represent the National Negro Press Association at the convention. The magnificent breakfast given in honor of the Press Association last August in Philadelphia, still lingers in the Philadelphia, of the famous Roadside Hotel in Philadelphia, still lingers in the country. They never tire of the country. They never tire of the praises of the genial Mr. Jones, complimenting his charming wife or convenient the husband who have occasion to stop over in Philadelphia.

There is no uplifting movement in his native health with connected. He is a man of the people and believes the Negro race has a great future if the men will put their shoulders to the wheel and push forward. Booker T. Washington hands out a solid chunk of wisdom when he adopts a new book, friends, not his enemies." The story of the triumph of a young man in his chosen calling is worth more to our readers than the sell one of us a glass of soda water at the corner drug store. The speech of Senator Jones on the rise of the Negro on the Agricultural Extension bill, leaves a better taste in our mouths than the publication of the bourbon on the debate on the Terrell confirmation. Mrs. Mary E.

Jackson is elected to the Bishopic of the Zion church in 1916 probably make his Episcopal residence in Birmingham, Alabama, where he has built a handsome $6,000 home. If Dr. J. S. Jackson is elected to the Bishop is located in Kyle, Ky, and give that splendid strategic point a chief pastor, something the church Bishop is elected, a strong probability in view of the suggested retirement of Bishop Hood, Chicago, St. Louis or another city where his base of operations. The idea of progressive Zionites is to scatter the Bishops out, so as to have a center of activity. In section where Zion is largely represented or has a chance to grow. Bishop Charles Henry Phillips, of Nashville, Tenn., now the best-known M. E. church priest presided over the General Confederation in St. Louis at all of the significant periods of that eventful session last month. As a presiding officer of the Confederation, he and thorough grasp of delicate situations, Bishop Phillips made a profound impression and amply vindicated himself in elevating him to the bench. All were glad to note the marked improvement in the Bishop's health. He trawled through the city of Nashville in a private drawing room. These special comforts were secured for him as a precaution against the trip to the United States, dangering his physical well being. Bishop Phillips, his son, Dr. Jaaper T. Phillips, and daughter, Miss Phillips, were among the 150 Jr., a leading physician and foremost race man of the Missouri metropolis. Those who remember a notable feat on the pan of the late C. H. J. Taylor of the Negro farm newspaper are strongly of the opinion that he merits a monument in recognition that the situation has been many times since, the one has had the courage to attempt a repetition of the doughy Kansan's title of the farmer. The sprightly Washington Sun hits the bull-s-eye when it says: "The most successful farmer in the fellow who has done his dermested—and failed." A villain is out of the game when he has shot his bolt and "the Negro farmer" is being warmly received by the Negroes of the countryside agriculture, and the best methods of making rural life attractive. It is the only Negro farm newspaper colored farmers. The journal is well-edited and is to our race what "The Caucasian farm literature" is to the Caucasian farm literature. A man who makes his way along the sunny side of life and whose days will therefore be one of the big-hearted proprietor of the Mount Nunn Hotel at Norfolk, Va. He conducts this elegant hostelry on high lines to cozy chaney rooms, and is accustomed by the foremost men and women of the country. It was the official headquarters of the company in 1908, and is the regular stopping place of Dr. Booker T. Washington when he visits Norfolk.

So Says Prof. Hershaw, a Well-Known Statistician, Sociologist and Man of Affairs—A Glimpse of the Southland. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 8—Mr. L. M. Hershaw, widely-known as a orator and statistician on race problems, served as the chair after nine days' tour of the South, attended the Atlanta Conference on Negro Problems the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University, and the commencement day exercises of the same institution, and the commencement day exercises of the Tuskegee Institute at Tuskegee Ala. He added to his store of knowledge as to the conditions surrounding the Negroes of all Southland and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of his stay in that interesting region. Mr. Hershaw is enthusiastic over conditions of the Atlanta University, which institution he reports as existent. He reports the Atlanta Conference as having been one of the most successful in the annual business meeting of the University. Alumni Association of the Atlanta University were most inspiring occasions, the commencement day exercises were the culmination of a solid week of anniversaries. A Birdseye View of Tuskegee Institute. Commencement day at Tuskegee Institute was held at the University. At the annual meeting of the trustees of the Atlanta University, a donat- ance was made to the Tuskegee Institute. It is the custom that Tuskegee Institute take a collection the last Sunday of the season for some cause outside of that theater. The Tuskegee Institute Teachers' Council, the collection was donated to Atlanta University. The trustees of the latter institution acknowledged their support by suitable resolutions, and Mr. Firshaw, a member of the Board and an Alumnus of Atlanta, was designated by the Teachers' Council of Tuskegee. Mr. Hershaw was greatly pleased at the wonderful and hospitable reception accorded to his institution, and deems himself most happy to have been a messenger of amity and co-operation between two of the most interesting and very favorably pressed with everything His comment as to everything is "Stupenparticular Supendoubent." He remarked particularly that the crowd that attended the commencement exercises, the fine and soldierly appearance, the high-class music of the brass band, and what he says surprised him more than all else, was the excellent English spoken and the high-class classes and of the alumni association. His own words were: 'English spoken by all who had any part in the exposition was candid, tense and correct—such as one would expect of those whose speech is of the highest empathy.' Mr. Hershaw undefended. Mr. Hershaw was most emphatically impressed with the completeness, utility, and architectural beauty, grandeur and artistry of the exposition and tited unreservedly to the ability of courage and constancy of Dr. Booker T. Stangton, which he says "is the source of all." While at Tuskegee Institute, Mr. Hershaw was a guest at a luncheon tendered by the University of Oklahoma Oaks" and was the recipient of as many other social courtesies at the hands of Secretary Emmett J. Soott, Treasurer of the University, who limited permissions to his limited time permitted him to accept RACE GLEANINGS. The National Press Association (Negro) meets in Muskogee, Oklahoma, in August. The Carnegie Library, now being erected for the colored people of Sacramento, will be about July 1. The city will appropriate $12,000 for its maintenance. The Industrial Home for Negro girls, near Tipton, Mo., is to have a new building, which, when completed, will cost $8,000. Governor Major, of Mississippi, appointed the office for the home, composed of Negroes. Rev Charles H. Johnson, pastor of the St. Paul Baptist church (Boston), was acquitted in the superior court Monday, May 25, on charge of having been a slave. The trial lasted three days. Rev Johnson was defended by Johnson W. Ramsey, a colored attorney. Great enthusiasm was manifested in church Lucy Nichols, of New Albany, Ind, is the only colored woman member of the NAACP, and thought to be the only colored woman in the country drawing a pension as an army nurse in the Civil War. She managed to be the only colored institution—the New Albany—throughout the Civil War, returning with that regiment to New Albany at the close of the same. Of the $888,875 appropriated by the Los Angeles Tribune, all institutions in that state, white institutions receive $228,075 and the two institutions receive $161,050. Virginia has a total population of 2,600,905, of which 32.6 percent are colored. The 1,623,626 farm villages have a population of $1,416,575, the taxes on which last year amounted to $4,548. Mrs. Eloise Bibb Thompson, in the Los Angeles Tribune, tells of Some Interesting Negro Characters in Los Angeles, where the pieces of property containing nine apartments—of three rooms each—and two stores, now worth $1,000,000. Negro who when he landed in Los Angeles twenty-two years ago, began work as bootblack. The Negro goes recently to the Colored YMCA. Miss Isabel Vandervall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James N. Vandervall, $1 million was successful in running ahead of her white competitors in the Junior Class the last year of the Hospital for Women, has just entered the Lying-in Hospital at Second Avenue and 18th Street. New York. She is the only woman in this institution, which is considered one of the most practical of its kind in the country. Kindergarteners for colored children are being adopted in different parts of the country for improving social conditions that have troubled two generations. Richmond mental kindergarten which has already created such interest among Negro children is expected it will soon be made permanent. The Richmond kindergarten was opened by the Kindergarten of New York at the request of Richmond people. THE FREEMAN FOR SALE.

KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY JUNE 20,1914 MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Beautiful April weather this June week, yes. We are after no one's scalp, but we insist that the police officers be read a lesson on how and when to use their clubs, especially when, as they know how well enough. The county Fair being conducted at the Y. M. C. A. this week is proving a big success. The entertainment is novel, and will be the means of considerable profit to the association. Railroad days brought out many disagreeable facts in connections with the negro traveling public. We are ashamed almost to print them but they are in all of their hideousness. Bear in mind that the fare is the same. The companies really owe their negro patrons rebate. Fifty Chinese artisans recently arrived at San Francisco from China, accompanied by three commissioners, to the Panama International Exposition. The artisans were permitted to enter the country by a special act of Congress. China will spend $700,000 on its exhibit here, of which $300,000 will be devoted to a permanent pavilion, which the nation will present to the United States at the close of the exposition. Colonel Roosevelt was the rage in London this week. He still insists that he discovered the "River of Doubt" when in South America. They should have named it the Roosevelt. Columbus was beat out of his American home, we have been trying to secure it with him ever since. We have plenty Columbuses. We call our country Columbia, all to make good with Mr. Christopher. We think that Dr. Livingstone left a permanent impress in the sands of Africa. Verily Mr. Roosevelt has lost an opportunity. Albert B. Cosey, presumably of Washington, D. C., is said to be slated for recorder of deeds in that city. We are not on to the personality of Mr. Cosey, nor are we aware of his native heath; however, we have reason to think he is all right for the job, according to what is being said of him. That of negro is to succeed in the office is the more important thing, because of the fact that such an intent, it is most significant and clearly in his interest, viewing it politically, and most assuredly in the interest of the race as citizens. Adalia E. Stevenson, former vice-president, died last Sunday morning at a hospital in Chicago. His home was at Bloomington, Illinois. He will be remembered by many who saw him in 1900 when he came to Indianapolis in company with W. J. Bryan, to be notified of their nomination for president and vice-president on the Democratic ticket. The ticket was sent to a crowded crowd gathered at the military park; estimated at twenty thousand people. Mr. Bryan, who was notified by James D. Richardson, of Tennessee, was never heard to better advantage. He opened in words to the effect that he confined himself to paper, manuscript, because there was a vaster constituency to be addressed than that before him, and he wished that it would not misunderstand him. Mr. Stevenson was notified by Governor Thomas, of Ohio, to oppose against imperialism, militarism and expansion. Mr. Stevenson first vice-presidential nomination was at Chicago, June 23, 1892, when he was named as Cleveland's running mate, and was elected that fall. Railroad days were observed to some extent June 7 and 8 in accordance with the suggestions of Booker T. Washington. This was especially true in Southern localities, many of which, in one form or another, presented the matter of poor coach accommodations to the railroad officials. They also called attention to other inconveniences to the colored people when traveling. A bill of complaints was the feature of one locality. Some of the items were: Colored waiting rooms not kept clean. These rooms are usually too small. They are not built to permeation. In winter they are often with out fire. Seasonal changes in the most uncomfortable character. Toilet accommodations for colored women in a few places. Conveniences for washing face and hands are absolutely unheard of. Those things denied the colored people are furnished the white traveling public. Some agents refuse to sell tickets to the colored people until all of the white people had been served. Many other petty meanances are exhibited and meant consciously, or unconsciously to make the colored people as uncomfortable as possible. LIBERIA COMPLAINING BECAUSE OF PAWNED CONDITION. John L. Morris, secretary of the treasury, of Liberia, and Ernest Lyon, consul-general, for that country, at Baltimore, are responsible for the assertion that the dictator in the person of Read Pape Clark, who was appoint- ed receiver of customs. The loan for $1,700,000 was made in 1912. Morris and Lyons informed President Wilson as to the situation. They said, specifically, that the receiver has assumed such broad powers as to make him practically a dictator. One can readily see how this is possible. He would, it would take a very broad guaged man to minister the affairs of such an office. The country is not overrun with the quality of men necessary. In the first place the self importance of the individual has a chance to develop unduly, and then again, the race question has no more abated in Liberia than in the American state. Should look into the matter and appoint men and continue to appoint them until he hits on the man with the least degree of prejudice. One can easily see the temptation, to be somebody, when he dominates the revenues of a state, or a considerable portion of them. Money is as all powerful in Liberia as the United States, to put it exceedingly mild. With a grip, then, on the funds, a man can be a dictator or a near dictator, if he chooses to be. We are in no position to speak positively of Clark's attitude towards the Liberians, or to take it, that those distinguished negroes, Messers Morris and Lyons, know what they are talking about. Liberia is weak and practically defenseless; it is wholly defenseless, as it concerns any of the great powers. But big countries owe something to little countries; and we rather think that our own leading men are of a similar opinion. True enough, Liberia's custom house is "in hock," but, at that, those people are not slaves to us. That country had no way to secure the loan but to pawn its financial prospects. This does not carry the idea of domination, such as is complained of. We hope that President Wilson will straighten the matter out. POLICEMEN TOO HANDY WITH THEIR CLUBS. The clubbing of James Nicholson by a policeman last Saturday night caused a great deal of comment throughout the city, this week, when the news reached the public. Mr. Nicholson is the proprietor of the Columbia Theatre, and is known as a peaceable, law-abiding citizen. The facts of the case are well known, having been set forth at length in the Indianapolis News. And according as they are known Mr. Nicholson was most shamefully treated. We have always held that a policeman has no right to strike a citizen whether under arrest or not, unless the citizen is physically assaulting the officer, or forcibly interfering with the officer's duty. Policeman have been known to strike men with their clubs and with their fists simply because they assessed their innocence or "killed" them. If the man, the prisoner, is safely in custody, not matter to the officer if he talks his head off. If the man in custody is unduly abusive, personally, to the officer, perhaps the officer should be human and take up for himself as other men do. But that's an extreme case. Policeman are guilty of striking men for "talking back." It is wrong; if legally right, which we very much doubt, it is morally wrong just the same. The trouble is owing to the fact that the policemen assigned to "Bucktown" feel that they have got a tough job on their hands, and that they must be ready and willing to care for it. Well, the vicinity is a bit stout at times, requiring unusual vigilance, more so than any other part of the area at that, the people are good natured, breaking out rarely. The vicinity is not nearly so bad as it appears to be nor as its reputation. Whatever the officers may think it is not up to them to be so ready with their clubs. They should be men first, then policemen. They should be humane even to the point of endangering their own lives. They should feel it a high moral offense to strike a man or any one coming under their care, unless the situation absolutely required it. After reading Mayor Bell's version of the assault on James Nicholson by the police, we take a modified view of the happening. There is more than one side to most every question. MAKING THE MOST OF THE OPPORTUNITY. Not long since R. W. Thompson, the well known newspaper writer, had the following to say: "If there is to be a permanent color line in this country, it is up to the enterprising Negro to capitalize it. If bad situations must exist the wise man makes the most he can out of it." Right anly spoken, we feel to say, and as we have also said from time to time. Other thoughtful individuals of the race also have said the same thing, "If there is to be a color line in this country," and there is to be one all right. Not that we have any peculiar foreknowledge, prescience, or the like, but because of the logic of things. Everything points that way. That they point that way may be incidental, a thing of the moment, so that would be no sure indication of what is to be. The logic of things, the philosophy underlying the struggle, the distinct racial attributes will hold the races apart as long as those attributes and so forth remain, not to speak of the previous condition of servitude phase. We do not care to enter here the discussion of the probability of race absorption as is spoken of by Mr. Roosevelt when referring to the racial situation in South America. Such a subject is unpopular in this country, and such a subject could be unpopular because the remoteness of such a probable total emerging places it in the category of thirgs purely speculative. It will be many a day, if ever, before the whites and colored people of this country emerge into one or the other or a third, entirely new thing. This being the case we may as well become thoroughly reconciled with what is. As much as we may not like it, we may as well set it down, that there will ever exist a tendency to push the Negroes together. And it is not a strange thing. The tendency is everywhere to push classes, to keep "men in their places." We feel it most because we are the best target. Some things we have endured make for this. Our nationality keeps it alive—it is our badge. A badge is always a reminder. If we love a flag we hall it with pleasure; if we hate it, the sight infuses us—newest our resentment. The opposition to the race, if we can call it by so harsh a name, is of a kind. And happily enough, not of a kind to hurt in a material way. It is of a kind that some peoples are indifferent to. Take the Chinese, Japanese and still others who come to this country. They do not care any- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU WAIT TILL THE SUNSHINES NELLIE MR. BIG LEAGUE 7135 BASEBALL TAKE OF MY HEART K. BUECKER thing about politics or the society of men other than in a bread winning sense. We do not contend that this is ideal. It is not the American idea to have sets of peoples that are nonintercommunicative in every way. But it works no severe hardship for those quoted, and in fact, they prefer it. They capitalize their opportunity, if it can be put that way. Perhaps the Chinese, Japanese and others could make a better out at socializing than we do. Perforce of circumstances we are hemmed in. Intermingling freely is not expected, yet we can do what those foreign peoples do, and more in a material way. Leaving aside the phase of freely intermingling the Negroes of the United States are the best situated of any similarly placed nation in the world. Can we accept this in lieu of a somewhat depreciated citizenship, in the particular phases? Are these phases the essentials, or the non-essentials? Can we accept the possibility of the utmost citizenship. And that is possible somewhere. We have localities where Negroes are from mayor to constable. Nor is this the place to discuss what we mean, or what the Negroes mean by citizenship. We are thinking of the opportunities under the circumstances. Booker T. Washington says, "Let down your buckets where you are." The advice hits off the situation. We assert again that our opportunities are the best in the world. The white people are fiscal agents. They may or may not be conscious of the fact. We know that many are indifferent to the fact. Many are pleased with the fact that they stand ready to reimburse Negroes suffering from losses, permitting them to go right back to work at the old jobs until they accumulate enough money to go to competing with them again in business. Where is such another country? The race question has put money in the purses of Negroes. The South is a splendid example of the material prosperity of the race. Welded together by the outer pressure of the white man's indifference it has entered every avenue of commercial life, gripping its way, at first, fearful at its own "enforced audacity" until courteous business success, which business successes, came of it. With the white man's business success came the white man's ways of spending the earnings, meaning the unalloyed joy in every pleasure possible. The white man's social contact has not been considered an essential to this pleasure and as it should not be. The race has no reason to be ashamed of the race. Any such feeling ruling merits the disrespect of other people. In this respect our citizenship is most complete and happy and every community of Negroes has the opportunity. In fact we are prodigial. We call it the "prosperity" and enjoy prosperity to sell us goods that we might as well be selling to ourselves. Our bank account with the white people is unlimited when it comes to capitalizing our business concern. O. yes, we can wear diamonds if we chose to do so. THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS MEM MORIAL FUND GROWING. The Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. Attention of Mr. Geo. L. Knox. Gentlemen: We notice by your paper that you are receiving subscriptions for the Frederick Douglass home in Washington, D. C. The Everett Benevolent and Social Club encloses a money order for One Dollar ($1.00) to be added to this fund. Kindly send us a receipt and oblige. Yours very truly, Everett Benevolent and Social Club, By Wesley Samuels, Sec. We take pleasure in setting forth this letter which is evidence of the love that the members of the Everett Benevolent and Social Club bear Mr. Douglas. The appeal for aid for preserving the home of the distinguished race man is becoming general. And if we still laud his name from time to time as is done there is no reason why the noble thing of helping keep green his memory in the way proposed should not be done. It is proper and fitting that we remember those who have wrought greatly among us. Even savage people by some sign or token seek to entablate the memory of their great dead. We are still busy disciphering the tombs of the distinguished of their associations, and we are always in the heart of man to pay homage to man when he is worthy. We ourselves, have submitted a test for ourselves. What will we do with it? There is but one answer. As we see it. Funds must be raised to preserve the Douglass home, or else we make ourselves subject to a deserved adverse criticism, to put it mildly. The Freeman will gladly receive your contributions. It will forward to the proper authorities. It will give you public credit. The pennies, nickels and dimes will do it. WHEN BOXING WAS WORK, AS TOMMY RYAN TELLS IT. Middleweight Champion of Old Says Things Have Changed for Better, but Pugilists are Getting Too Much for Their Services Today. NEW YORK—Tommy Ryan, the great middleweight champion of a few years ago, who looks so young that it oldtimer," came to see us last evening. The world's swinging along well with me," said Ryan. "I live in one of the best sections of my old town, Syracuse, and I have a boxing club, the Ryan A.I. We holdouts about seven times a week. We don't go in a C.M. for champions, but we have good bouts between well- matched men, and that's what the public like to see. The only excuse for the attack on boxing in the legislature just now, it seems the club is posing a challenge. The boxing match is always bad. The boxing commissioners have done a lot of good. I don't see where their work could be improved "Next day I found the promoter at a bar holding a card. When he saw me waved the bottles around and pretended to be too drunk to understand how to judge part owner of the club, and it was a sure thing I couldn't have gotten my money now. I knew the law controls everybody, promoters and boxers, and the state, gets its share and everybody "After that little experience I always made them give me the money. I was my own manager and I took care of what was mine. Sometimes they tried to buy me bills—stack over a foot high, but I never went to the ring until I had counted it, dollar by dollar, and put it "Boxers now want too much for their services. It's coming to a time when they can afford a centage limit, for boxing clubs can't go on taking all risks and little chance of profit. They can afford a hundred dollars when I was better than some fighters who demand $10,000 to get into a ring now, but I was $10,000 for a $20 bill. I never kept track of the number of my fights. They don't all appear in the ring, usually only a few. The little fellow and fought for over twenty years. I was middle-weight champion and never welged over 145 pounds stripped, usually 142 pounds. I quarrel about weights in those days." Particular Attention may be given to the following subject, since there are hundreds of thousands using the Eureka Comb throughout the United State and Isles. They give the best of satisfaction as to our recommend, straightening the hair beautifully with one stroke, and as assistance in causing rapid growth. Evidences coming to us from every source, of which is pleasing, that the Eureka Comb performs precisely as advertised. No better comb on the market for purposes as we have been advised that other combs are toys, when it comes to benefits and effectual influences when used as to directions, for which every comb placed goes with it instructions how to use and for what purposes. Wherever introduced the Eureka is preferable. Merchants and agents are successful when they are placed conveniently in quantities for the public. They are usually sold for $1.50 (one dollar and fifty cents) each complete. The only thing is to be careful in the purchase, as there is no other comb that will answer the purposes so well as the Eureka. We wholesale the Eureka Comb, being the manufacturers and promoters, and are the only wholesalers of this special device; if there are othere we would be pleased to be informed. The devises are patented and registered. Forprices and further information write again and Tommy swung one and hit me on the side of the jaw so hard it broke. I was clear out of my mouth. That's why people thought he knocked my teeth out in that fight. I mixed me, for I was about gone. I mixed up and he tore in and gave me a tough time. He and I spoke to Tim Hurst, the referee. "You've got a head yourself, haven't you?" said Hurst, which meant that I should have a mop. I didn't have Tommy's nose. After that I kept pounding on the sore spot, and they dried up the gore in the ring between knots with a mop. In the seventeenth century, Tommy I can't see any more. He couldn't, so Hurst stopped it. I didn't know, but Tommy West gave me an awful body beating, too. It wasn't a boxing match, it was just rough and tumble fighting. "Such a fight would be impossible in the seventeenth century, long there are men on earth, even if they have to go out into the woods, as we used to and fight to a finish in the seventeenth century, Boxing with gloves and under proper rules is a safe outlet for that fighting spirit and it doesn't do any harm to the developing gummen, that's foolish. Boxing is developing thousands of well-trained men whose great ambition is healthy and be successful in a profession that pays a lot of money to those near the top." coming from a man who knows, like Ryan, that sounded like a pretty good argument. PRESENT BOXERS ARE UNLIKE EARLIER ONES. JOHN L. WAS AN EXAMPLE A writer in a London sporting sheet gives it as his opinion that the day he was born was the most tentional knockout in a boxing match will almost be unknown. "The present-day scrappers are content to win by scoring a knockout, but able of scoring a knockout even though they try with all their might," the writer says. Jack Skelly takes up the role with the following interesting discussion; "John L. Sullivan made a wonderful reputation, the prize rises to him the champion, touring the country offering $1,000 to any man who would stand before him, Queen-sberry rules, for four rounds, in this first K. O. tour and not one of them was able to stay the four sessions with most powerful were put away in one short round; such men as Al Marx, the Texas giant; Dan Henry, at Hot Squares and many others." "On this tour the total receipts, which were divided between Sullivan and his manager, Al Smith, amounted to $42,000. Neither John L. nor anyone else ever kept a record of the many battles on this trip. They were interesting study in themselves." "In 1880 a number of sporting men in the army had a great chance against Jack McAuliffe for the lightweight title, but when they met Jack put Paddy McAuliffe in the first round when they met at Ruhla, defeated to subsequent fights. Ruhla defeated to subsequent sailor in masterly style. We can all remember how Terry McGovern won the O, on Pedal Palmer in less than half a round at Tuckkahoe, on September 16, 1890, aggressive, decisive battle at that time, for he put Patsy Haley, Harry Forbes, asleep within a car seat, in 1890 and 1900 were the banner years of McGovern's great career within the ropes. The following season, in 1890 and 1900 again put him to sleep in 11 sessions to McGovern in two rounds and in 1903 again put him to sleep in 11 sessions to McGovern in two rounds and in 1903 again all of Bob Fitzsimmons' mills have ended in rather quick knockouts. He put Larry Teasley in 1896, and many others in jig time. LAMP CAP Such good ringmen as Jem Hall, Dan Creedon, Gus Ruhlin and others got the dreamland wallop in a few rounds "Joe Gans stopped clever Frank Erne in one round at Fort Erie, N. C., and in one round at Dan Creedon in the first act at Cleveland in 1900. Of course, Creedon was on the down path at the time and not the fighter of a few players. Bill Squires of Australia in one round, at Colma, Cal., on May 7, 1908. The same year, he was sent to Sydney, N. S. W., in a round, Felix was also passe and was all in when he faced Johnson. "Sam Langford joined Jim Flynn in 1890 and Jack McCormick in one session in 1890. Kid McCoy put the wallop over on George LaBanche in one round in 1897 and Jack McCormick in 1899. Oscar Garden finished Harry Forbes in the same quick time in Chicago in 1900. Forbes, by the way, ended Billy Rotchford in the same city in 1891 in "Nearly all of the late Stanley Ketchel's early battles were of the kind he had fought in, indeed a quick finisher and a wild, whirlwind fighter. He put *Mike Twain* in the fighter. He put *Mike Twain* others in the same short order. Stanley always fought from gong to gong at top speed and always banged away for quick results. Stanley used the sleep position to the middleweight champion of Australia. Dave Smith, within one round at Madison Garden, the team land thought it was some fluke, and when Mac went over there he again landed. He was some fluke, and when Australian fans that he was Smith's master by wallpiling him out in short order again. And he did it again re- "The saddest humiliation Johnny Bull has received in years was the punishment. Bombardier Wells by George Carpentier, who crushed the British fisticid idol out in one round. It was a brutal fight, but the Bulldog was put down and out by the French champion in four rounds, but in one Shades of Tom Sayers, Jesse McGee, who was fighting heroes look down upon this dreadful calamity and spare the gallant batters of old England from my side. No wonder the whole nation are aroused. No wonder they are hunting and night and northly gladiator to regain their lost fist bump." "Those who attended the Fitzsimons-Corbett battle at Carson City, which only lasted seven seconds, recall the preliminary bout between Dal Hawkins and Martin Flaherty, which only lasted seven seconds, over on Flaherty with lighting speed." "Battling Nelson, however, beat this time by settling Willie Rassler in five sworn to by Malachi Hogan, who redefined both these mills. So I think Nelson holds the record for the quickest professional ranks of the fighting game. "Billy Papke fought a draw of 25 rounds with Hugo Kelly in 1908, and the following year he put Nair away. In 1911, K. O. Brown surprised the talent by polishing Tommy Murphy on one act. How different the result might be they told you. Fletcher there are many one-round battles recorded, but the maority of them have been flukes or so-called lucky-punch affairs. There are indeed very, very few one-round hits, this and other states.

DILLON'S RING EARNINGS LARGE - HOOSIER - $450, 500 - FEBRUARY Say boys, being Jack Dillon, chaleng-ant to the middle and light-heavy, Dillon, in his days, wouldn't be a bad sort of a job! True, Dillon is daily referred to by a number of names which might imply him as a man of importance, but aside from these little details his reign is one of pleasure. They him the "Demon," "Bearcat," "Monkish," which would turn old man Dillon with envy; but this isn't cannibal ripple or worry to the prominent incumbent. A personal of Dillon's record shows February 9 and a glance over his earnings since that time shows how much he has taken an offense at being called cruel men. Under the management of Walter, also of this city, Dillon has approximately $5,450 since February 9, and more riches. He has engaged in the more riches. He has engaged in the more riches since that date, winning the title of manager of a referee. Manager Walter opened negotiations for a bout that Billy Murray on the coast, and is also the manager of Coy, the Brooklyn middle-age, into Dillon's biggest earning since Feb. 19 was in Butte, Mont. In this course, the local boxer drew down $2,500 for his first-round win in the 12-round seto. His next boxer from a money standpoint was with the Norton contest in the same month, $1,000. Following it, Dillon's in February 9 with his earnings. February 9 - Kid Dorn, Mont. February 10 - Kid Dorn, Mont. February 17—Ray Clayborn, He Springs, knockout, three rounds, $600 March 3—Jim Flynn, Kansas City, draw, 10 rounds, $1,750 Mike Bester, Denver, knockout, 10 rounds, $550 March 17—Dick Gilbert, He Springs, won, 10 rounds, $600 March 23—K. O. Brown, Memphis, won, 10 rounds, $450 April 14—Bat Levinsky, Butte, won 12 rounds, $2,500 April 28—Al Norton, Kansas City, won 10 rounds. $1,000. Dillon's showing during the last few months has put him up in the ranks of the best players in one of the best cards in the middle and light heavyweight division. He has played Billy Murray if inducements are atractive enough. He claims the lightness of a 12-round decision on victory Battling Lewinsky, who at the time was recognized as the leader in the middle.

On Thursday evening, June 11th, the new Pekin Stock company opened at the Pekin theatre, 27th and State streets, in the heart of the city, by J. Ed. Green, producer by Manager Robert T. Motts about eight years ago. The present play is a condensed revision of the 1950s play, *Mills*, Alfred Anderson and the star actors in the cast of the literary bottery element, who worked out their own salvation situations by their own skill as good actors, that could not have otherwise been kept grammarian, and the knife conspicuous by his absence. And yet "Capurtus is a good play, but a diamond whose tenor speaking voice was a silver thread among the gold cords of the master teeman word made famous in the past, broadened out in his comedy in the second and last acts and because he and Jack Smith are "shipping him. Silney Kirkpatrick, as Capurtus, difficult, was more brilliant pleasure which attracted. Lazzie Wallace was charming and acted well as in the singing of "The Sword and Flag," chorus of "Freeman's music," as Capurtus difficult, was more splendidly, and in a duel with Charles Liverpool, a young Jerry Mills also acted splendidly, and in a military treat in emotionalism. Charles Moore, as might be expected, was good as the Colonel, and Bessie Trible and Loney Mills difficult, was a military roles. Mayme Carter was an enticing reporter, and George Hall, who played a gentleman of leisure, is the great man in the cast were Leroy Brown, W. Roderge Jones, a good dude; William DeAcklein, a good dude; and the idea of this play, which was first, coeceived from Cole & Johnson's "Shoo Fly Regiment," was prevalent after the Spaniardization is popular and serviceable now. The stage was nicely set and the grouping the chorus was effective. But in the play, the audience was a spot light, should have been reflected. The next play will be "The Man From Bam," written by Irvin C. Miller. Friend Linch, manager of the house, is the best man to handle the house since the death of Mr. Kitts, and Jerry Mills, who is stage manager and producer, has made a good showing. The Musical Byrons at the Grand— Horace George. Please For the first time in his history, *For the first time in his history,* *Strawberry Beans blossomed forth legitimately* *house roar. He wore a white vest. I sat in a corner to take observations of his latest data, as Baby Mack fed me questions. *Brown and Brown, the "Maid and the Bell Boy," returned very popular, would have been original and popular if she had given a talkative *own boy specialty*. *Rustus, Buckets comer, appeared in songs and dancing.* *Cross & Thompson at the Monogram.* When Tom Cross stepped upon the stage everybody knew that the big show was going to be some fun, and Walker Thompson, his partner, was every inch an Indian. The Moores, Tim and Hester, returned immeasurably popular, as usual. George Stuart gave monologues and Rodríquiza white family of acrobat tumblers, were also on the bill. Sambo and Dinah at the States—Matt Marshall Scores in the Movies. Again the unexpected happened when "Samba and Dinah," a new colored life moving picture furnished by star "Jones Film Company, opened in 1970," was the popular actor in the chief character, at the States. That Marshall is the best comedy actor that has been colored pictures goes on record and we see people were turned away in the lineup at every performance. The dinner at Chateau Garden was a feature. The Lincoln—"For Love of a Man." The Phoenix—"The Southerners." Hold May Patton with returned in illustrations of the Fountain—"Kathryn 12th." The Star—"The Wreck" filled the house. The audiences at this house were more than two-thirds colored, since the change of management. The Almo—"This house is now the home of the South End at 47th street." The Washington—"Kathlyn No. 13" will be next Sunday's attraction. The pictures have been fine.

Talk, which leads people to wrath and sudden impulse of action, is always a regrettable feature in the destiny of human lives, especially in attempts to save a child. But we know not the day nor the hour when the sound of the grinding will be low. To be on trial. To await her counsel and command. And when she'd smile— knew my presence was her bliss, That he had to cry. That she'd caress me with a kiss, As her dear child. CRAIN'S SMILING SUNBEAMS. Crain's Smiling Sunbeams left Boston on Tuesday last to open up their season in Rockland, Maine. The company numbers ten people, and by all press accounts they have some of the most versatile peripherals available. They played, to capacity, on Thursday and Friday last; packed them to the doors on Saturday. But owing to the proprietor sending a letter out to the businessman, a whitewash the stead of acting as a mathematician, causing the company to lose over $75.00, the company then decided to change the business. The company was royally entertained, the Volunteer Fireman's Club on Friday evening last and all the delicacies of the city were served. One of the leading business men of the city, the company left via boat for Belfast and were tendered a Bohemian luncheon by Mr. Frank King, No. 3 Burke in London, in connection, much to the surprise of everybody.

Suppose we happen to be about the happiest day we have experienced since the opening of our season, when we met the Nashville Students' at the YMCA. We went shopping and a沙parting. We got right on the job and got out a swell dinner for the students in enjoyment it and talking over old times were Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Seward, Teddy Redmond and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Wood-ton, and I talked and "inky," "Some fun, I reckon." Another enjoyable stunt was when Teddy Redmond, the old reliable baritone soloist, out and out several new ones that "stick" a band wagon on the band wagon in parade. Mr. Miles, who has trouped with "Teddy" several times, out and out several new ones that "stick" a band wagon on the band wagon in parade, but there was nothing doing that day, so the joke fell on Mr. Mills. After the entire company were escorted to the station in automobiles by Mr. and Mrs. Earnest Montague and Russell Jackson, and they played for Copenhagen, where they played that night.

The Freeman does not have its own advertising friends, so highly pleased with the merits of this paper, they continually send the Freeman an appraisal, declare that the Freeman is in a class to itself in all phases of the journalistic field.

Eugene Mikel, and has a seating capacity of seven hundred, the theatre for colored people in Florida as the New Globe and every performer in the theatre for colored people in Florida to verify this statement. There is not another playhouse in this city that is owned and operated by a colored performer, and the course, there is a playhouse across the way that is controlled by a performer and plays; colored performers (under the usual guise), but the Globe has yet felt the force of any competition. Performers who know Frank Crowd play the Globe for a certain figure and a given length of time, you get both.

I have used information from every source, however, without much thoughtfulness. And through all the effort is to quote the no gods of others.

Perhaps there is not that peculiar interest in the forthecoming fight between them. For Frank M. that there was between Jeffries and Jack Johnson. The interest keyed very high in this country because the modern school does not even event so nearly mobilized the worlds attention. The statement joins for more than those who were in the school and girls who never attended and girls a pugilistic name mentioned with interest to them were keenly devoted to them. They were devoted to the papers, search-for data on which to base their faith in the success of their favorites. The country has two great camps—Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries were the opening chiefs, as it were. And such loyalty was never before, per- The scene is changed to France, where there is now the liveliest inter-mental racial interest. While Alain Moran is hopeful that Frank Moran will restore the pugilistic prestige to where he once was, beyond this is the worldwide interest of the supremacy of man—when the physical man is the best physical man and the greatest interest. And it does not stop there. The best mechanical thing—the automobile—the steamboat. Since man is the highest creation, what he does in the sense of competition is the automobile, the steamboat. We are heirs of the age of the Crusaders when the investing of cities might be witness. Sometimes the success of an army depended on the encounter of a single man chosen to assume emotions the prowess of Black Knight, even a Don Quixote. All this testifies to the all-consuming man, when battling to overcome man. There is no reason to think that Johnson will not win in Paris as he won at Reno. In fact, he has everything in his favor. The "white hopes" have been disasphalted, paranoid, and disillusioned. Frank Moran is not an impossibility, since Jack Johnson will some day succumb. He cannot for many years the chance to win the titles years and the dists of strong young men. But the day does not seem to be here yet. Future. Some writer has now written a string of "If," insisting that if some of these carry Moran will win: Johnson has showed up. Johnson has shown his punch. Dissipation has cut down the colored scraper's stamina. If Johnson fails to train properly underestimates his more youthful "Or, provided Johnson is in good shape. If the referee permits him to wear two-on-one gloves (eight ounces of lead in each). If Johnson battles with one hand behind his back. If ball and chain be attached to the champion's legs. He must wring her ways in which Moran might wink with. But no sorrow refers is expected to stand for them. Short appearances indicate that Moran is expected to beating Jack Johnson, if the latter wins the Defeats by Gunboat Smith, Jack Geyer, mother McCarty seem to classify Moran ineffective white hope, unless Father Time becomes an accessory before the fact." Johnson is trained hard. He is not taking any学问. He is not figuring on Moran's favor. He is very well aware well that some man, some lady, must stand over him while the referee tells him the final numbers. It might be Moran. Sassafras. Jack Johnson has started serious work at Luna Park for his fight with Frank Green, and big crowds are going daily. He has five sparing partners, each one of them rounds with him. He now looks like Johnson of the old days, although it looks like a new rounds, he says he will enter the ring when he can has also commenced real training. He is where he is doing road work and training, Kennedy, the former amateur beavyweight champion and Willie Lewis. Johnson has signed an agreement with Richard Klein, provided he beats Marcus King. He shot Lamford at London in September or October." The approaching fight has thrown France into the spotlight. The recent success of the champion on the au- mobile race has picked up owing to the success of their own countr- ney as fighters to mention the presence of Jack Johnson since lost his prestige, pres- surely default. It grew indifferent one could think, because of the long and difficult course of the United States. Our country the race. Because of the race question, Frank always keen for this kind of enjoyment has worked, waited and Pierre cared very much for short stories which he the eagerness with which the French chose, Sam the man who before appointed latter a director of Park Abbey, was a very short writer are studying the sit-down stories in France, reporting every instance in the business. They are doing the writing, the nishing is readable information, and which one writes as an index of the people. The most interesting this is: the most famous which distinguish the many sketches from one in an Anglomestrate cruel man, Mr. Black, is the 'almost perfect' perhaps it is the audacity of the famous spectator, he says, which he used this. 'Women of the Latin men were horribly cruel but the French are going farther back, simply proctored industrial combats, consequently proctored high authority is the splenex. Finally the black animating a lie. He again skims. oversees exhibited such undying enthusiasm exhibited by balken men eaten by British men proceeded to the bitch end and when he England would long have been invited to the request of the onlookers in Paris to the cookers never seem to be enough andough step to it when not once hear accustomed to it with the domination England and the overly beaten boxer is observed. Even if he he should be excused in Paris he are excused in Paris he may proceed to the war end. The French boxers do not usually formally the Frenchmen but many are apporter. Ledoux and the body, their arm made blindly, for the they crouch, one lower than the other, in desperate efforts to reach the stomach, and are frequently struck below the belt." In our country, America, the man striking the foul blow would lose the interest, in France the interest is so intense that he must proceed. The law of retaliation axes things right. The other man the man struck, may deliver the same kind of blow ever, this may be because of the early history of pugilism in France. Enough high, high science and laws having a poor schooling, dictating the fights. So quotes the writer: "But the action of French referees is not punishing still. As the boxer stands still, he referee intervenes. Then he announces that the man fouled wishes to go on repos de deux tapes and there will be 'un repos de deux tapes' on me gasp when first I heard it, as indeed it must have made Mr. Bettinson, but it was nothing to that. Near the end of the same contest to which I refer a second foul still more protested in his corner loudly protested, so I walked toward him and said, 'Yes, to him I did the same thing to him before.' French boxing will have to be clean, clear and to be able to make the same advance of spirit and tone that it has made of sheer strength. The other must be taught with an iron hand that cannot sacrifice the conventions of sport in order to hit the other man unintentionally. It is said that the French are borrowing the American flight slang the fighters are said to the English. The fighters are said to the combat, asking nor giving quarter. But when it is all done and said they proceed to embrace and kiss. It may be that the French fighters may be imitated, but it is no reason to doubt the information. It simply strikes one as a strange customer or a supposed to be no enemy, but it is difficult of being caressed by some one who a few moments before was trying his best to beat you to a pulp. In our training, we learn the formality of shaking hands at the beginning. This looks chivalrous, and no one trying in view of what's coming, or is ready to formality of shaking hands at the beginning. This looks chivalrous, and no one trying in view of what's coming, or is ready to formality of shaking hands at the conclusion, when the bouts are staged—that is, for a few rounds to be made as good on a front as to put as good a front on as possible. But in those mills where the eyes are closed and the blood flows to a finish, the Americans think hand-shaking is wholly superfluous. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORTING CIRCLES.

NEW YORK, June 17—"The crop of present-day pigullets is not as good as that which used them in the old days," remarked Frank Erne, once the lightweight champion, and regarded by many as the braintest fighters that ever donned the mask. "There are mighty few boxers, and even fewer ring generals than there used to be ten and twenty years ago. They are round, no-decision bouts that are being staged in these days. Ten rounds is no test for a man. It is no hard job for a boxer to win rounds. But when he has to go the route for twenty or twenty-five rounds—that's when the pace begins to tell, and that's where generalship and boxing are." The majority of present-day fighters are not ring generals because they are really never called upon in a ten-round fight. But in the old days a fighter THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER who wasn't a ring general never amounted to much—and didn't last very long. And about the fifteenth and eighteenth rounds is when the pace of a real fighter begins to tell on a balloon. And he must draw heavily not only on his brains, but upon his brains. It is then that he must begin to show his generalship—manever not only to keep on his feet but to sing, to sing, to beat the other fellow down. "One of the strangest things, in my players in the present day. There is not a heavyweight who is in Corbett, or a commons, Sharkey or Jeffries' class, there is not a real middleweight fighter in the game today, although there are one of two men who may develop into a superstar. There isn't a real middleweight fighter in the game today, although there are one of two men who may develop into a superstar. In "my opinion, Joe Gans was the greatest fighter that ever was seen in the lightweight division. He was a son of Nelson, and he was one of his life when he trained down to 133 for Nelson. It weakened him so much that he mer self, and Nelson won from him. Nelson never was in Gans's class and but he would have had a chance with him, but he had too much for his first fight, and then hadn't been broken down physically when he tackled Nelson for the second BALL GAINS FAVOR IN ENGLAND In spite of the reports to the contrary there is no doubt but that baseball is the London writer puts it, is taking hold in England.

WOLGAST HAS EARNED NEARLY $300,000—WAS A FARM HAND. While he was champion, Wolgast fought more righ tights than any other champion, and he fought his title fights as well as the recognized championship affairs (for a champion can lose his title in any fight he wins), and viding the champion is knocked out). Wolgast risked his title thirty-four times. Between March 3 and July 4, 1911, he fought nine championship fights. Three of them he fought within twenty-eight days in New York. Los Antepec led many thousands of miles in keeping his boxing engagements in different parts of this country, but never managed to win. He been too busy here to try other lands. At present Wolgast is considering a offer of $50,000 from Jim Coffroh for four years, not yet accepted, as he has a broken hand that may take some time to mend. Coffroh has paid Wolgast $76,000. Now for the hard luck tale. While he was champion Wolgast broke his left arm twice. He broke both of his arms in two operations, the spintered bone was finally wrapped with sixteen feet of fine silver wire.

NEGRO HEADS ARE ALWAYS THE HARDEST. Paddy Slavin Found It Out When He Met Peter Jackson. Negroes always have an advantage over white men in the fight game, as seen in the game where the Jem Mace was at the ringside at the Slavin-Craig fight and he said it was better to knock out the skull like a gorilla, for the punch that knocked out the Harlem beauty would have split the skull of a white man, his famous jaw punch that caused his downfall in his fight with Peter Jack and stomach there is very little doubt but that he would have won that great contest. The Hall, who refused to go into Jackson's corner, although he was under the same manager, was seated in the S Club, and could be heard shouting to Slavin during the contest: "Leave his jaw alone, Paddy, and give him Nernham punch, you crazy Irish devil." An English Jew who had bet his up and down "up" in the excitement Jem forgot where he was and knocked the Jew out of his seat. When the Jew got his head in, he would get a man to punch his head off, and that is how Jem met Ted champion, Hall made a bad mess out of poor Ted, and there is little doubt that if Hall had been in Slavin's corner he would have made him change his tactics. Peter Jackson had two of the trickle-men in the world in his corner. Parson Davies and the American Jew, Joe Chojnowski. Slavin's seconds were Tom Williams, the Australian light-bomber, champion, and his own kid-brother. MORAN DENIES FRAME-UP WITH JACK JOHNSON. American White Hope Training Hard for TIME. Confid- ent of Victory. PARIS, June 17—Frank Moran, whose fight with Jack Johnson on Europe, is now in the fight onondation in sinew and muscle. At the beginning of his training knee to knee with Jack Johnson, but what superfluous flesh he possessed has now been reduced to solid brawn. He tips the beam of his knee, and being circulated concerning his condition, Moran said recently: "I'm not training seriously, and I also hear that news is rife that 'the fight is a fake', and I would be paid to lose. Well, I wish one of them would be in the ring for the first five rounds on June 27 instead of me, and he'd have to wear a knee brace. I fake. I've only taken on this fight because I know I can win. Johnson is training at Luna Park. At City Office, a rival establishment, but being serious and determined, I went to the country and haven't seen Paris for a "When you're away from a crowd you can work, and it's due to the adrenaline, the excitement, the Lewis and Haton, that I'm in splendid condition. Not only do I feel confident of winning this big fight, but all those have seen me on the field, and I will all else sure have seen me on the field. American friends to rest assured that when I enter the ring I'll do all in my power." During the last few days Moran has confined himself to walking, skipping, rowing and ball-punching. During a day Moran slipped and collided with his partners head, splitting his left eyebrow. The two and a half inch gap between them avoid any risk Moran has abandoned sparring bouts until next week. Jack Johnson put in a good week's worth of sparring, and some of his old-time elasticity of muscle swells. He is taking off superfurious flesh at a satisfactory rate and he is very quick on his feet now, and he is systematic work with the punching bag. He perspires freely at his work, but with his long, and steady jog trots he is not getting sound in the wound. The colored man emphatically denies he's not training in earnest at Luna Park and merely putting up a show for the crowd. "I never did put more into my training for any fight," he said, "and the man who beats Moran will be the same Jack Johnson who went into the ring at Reno." Johnson regards automobiling as a great aid to his training. It has a great effect on the nerves," he said "and is good for the eye and makes for concentration."
