Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, contributed another chapter to the serial campaign of the Republican rounding the recordership of deeds for the District of Columbia. While at the White House Monday, the Ohio state senator, a colored Democratic incumbent, asked the President to consider the recommendations of Sully Jaymes, a colored Democratic incumbent in politics in Ohio for many years, is a member of the organization that he endorsed by Governor Cox, State Chairman W. L. Finley and the Democratic generally of the Buckeye state. He would consider the candidacy of he would consider the candidacy of Mr. Jaymes, but did not indicate when he would name already before the President are Alfred B. Cosey, of New Jersey; James A. Ross, of New York; E. A. Mapping, of New York; and S. S. Sylvania; James H. Penn, of New Jersey; Revs. J. Milton Waldron and W. J. Howard, of the District of Columbia, here referred to as "dark heroes" in the background. The White House reporter of the Washington Evening Star, who has the best means in the world for knowing the power of the other circle of the "powers that be," says: "The opinion has prevailed for some time that the President will wait until he can precipitate a fight on Negro appointments while other business is pending, and will then nominate a colored man for the place of the man has been known for some time, but when he would do so has not been so clear in his own mind." Bishop Walters to the Rescue. Bishop Walters is ever alive to the welfare of his people. When an opportunity appears to him, while this big-hearted tribune of the race does not stop to ask the politics, creed or locality of his people for right in and extends the aid, subordinating all questions to the fact that one of his own blood and kindred is in jeopardy and must be held accountable. It came to the Bishop's attention that a quiet movement was on foot to create an Assistant United States District Attorney, the incumbent of which is James A. Cobb, an admirably equipped lawyer, who has administered the affairs of the office in fine style, according to the District Attorney, and who is in function to represent the federal government in cases involving violations of the pure food and drugs act, and he is said to have handled many of the difficult manners. When word reached Bishop Walters that Mr. Cobb's retention had become an issue, with a possible recommendation, he was for allerged lack of business, he "got busy." A strong plea was made to Attorney-General McReynolds and the aid of other powerful forces in the administration was enticed, with the result that the position of special assistant District Attorney remains intact and that Mr. Cobb remains "on the job" indefinitely. This is just one sample of the kind of work Bishop Walters is doing for his people every day. The facts speak to the Mosaic Templars of America, a Distinguished Negro Organization, Hold Triennial Convention at Tuskegee REMARKABLE MEETING! vistors alike have quietly sterned world, t peace. "On this day, Grand Peter ceeded the late," was murdered elected for a 60 upon motion of facts and figure Grand Scribe E of Col. Johnson the Favorite for Grand Master, Notwithstanding the vigorous efforts of press agents of other candidates to make it appear otherwise, the favorite in the race for Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F. is Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia. He has been in several states in the past few days, and from many sources it is learned that he is growing in strength and confidence in the future. He is the right, the Colonel declared himself to be entirely satisfied with the situation and felt no apprehension as to the result of the balloting of his brethren at Boston in September. A leading member of the craft remarked to your correspondent this week: "Henry Lincoln Johnson is the logical man for the headship of the Order. He is now Deputy Grand Master and it is quite natural that the promotion should come to him by virtue of his worth and work, covering a long period of years. He has given his time and money to the uplift of Odd Fellowship since early manhood. He has stood back for others when honors were justly his. He has labored diligently and unselfishly wherever placed. He has settled in his reward and the right-thinking men of the Order are determined that he shall have it this year. He will be elected Grand Master "hands down" at Boston. Georgia will lead the way and the other big states, flanked by the little states as well, will 'sew the hing up in a sack." "As a matter of fact," continued our informant, "Johnson's candidacy is the only one now before the Order in good faith. How many have thought of that? The present Grand Master is making a decision to尾随 his manipulative laws and customs as to get a foothold upon which to base a claim for re-election. Candidates said to be favored by him are known to be mere stalking horses, to hold the votes until they have been removed from the House. They will do the most good." The Supreme Court issue has been tried as a bugaboo to Johnson, but the responsibility for its existence has been shifted back to its originators, and the matter has become one for the body to handle independent of the grand mastership. The question of whether the Johnny Court has the parentage of the Supreme Court has failed, and the court, if abandoned by its old-time sponsors, will have to stand or fall upon its own merits. The opposition is badly "rattled," without any one to say that the question has as to the management of the finances, the anti-Johnson people are clearly "on the run." All Colonel Johnson and his allies have to do now, is to "sit tight" with what they have and be on hand at Boston when the bell rings. It is understood that Colonel Johnson is to be given no time to extend at an early date, declaring definitely his attitude on all of the great questions now before the Order for settlement. He believes in taking the people into his confidence. He has in mind a big program of constructive work and he has no plans for the future. He has not been Fellows of the land the vast possibilities that lie before them if their interests are properly cared for. "His Excellency, the President." --- Prof. Charles Moore Again an Educator. It will be welcome news to the friends of Prof. Charles Moore, who now is again enrolled himself in the nohle army of educators. Without any solicitude, he came to the principal of the public schools at Reidsville, N. C., and so forcibly was it put up to him that it was his duty to accuse the principal of the public schools to present the arena of his earlier triumphs. Prof. Moore is a man of fine intellectual equipment, a graduate of Harvard, and has had large experience in the political and business life of the race. Without question, he is a graduate of North Negro Business League, even had, and the records will show that the bulk of the local branches now attach up through his pleas for a commercial awakening of the Negro people along the lines suggested by Dr. Booke good" at Reidsville. He will "make good" at Reidsville. REMARKABLE MEETING! The Mosaic Templars of America, a Distinguished Negro Organization, Hold Triennial Convention at Tuskegee TUSKEGEE, INSTITUTE, Ala., July 24. The Mosaic Templars of America, the great distinctive Negro organization, welcomed by Tuskegee University, the name of originality and leading the fraternal world, closed here today its principal convention. Welcome to Tuskegee. We were approved of the Templars as one of the great achievements of freedom, the great mission and the great such prowess of Tuskegee as only an amazed host could give. Quite the biggest convention of the rank and file of the Tuskegee, but has ever entertained the presence of so large and so important a body of Tuskegee men and women growing importance of Tuskegee as the capital and convention center of colored people. One brother, wedded to Tuskegee, has made to make Tuskegee the permanent order of all future conventions of the order. The sessions were held in the great hall of the public exercises took place in the Institute chapel. The dress parade and the public exercises took place in the Institute chapel. The dress parade and the public exercises took place in the battalion field. The delegates came in special trains, and these trains numbered twenty-five and twenty-five bama, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kansas, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Mississippi and Virginia. Welcome By Dr. Washington. WELCOME BY DR. WASHINGTON. The opening exercise, held up the spacious chapel of the school, made an impressive scene. Seated together were Booker Washington, founder of Tuskegee, and John E. Bush, founder of the Mosiacs. Gran chmaster Elliott HON. JAMES E. BUSH brought forth hearty applause when he looked around and exclaimed: "We are in the midst of a kingdom of kings and queens, including Grand Master L. L. Powell of Alabama, Birnbaum, Booker Washington, and John E. Bush, who delivered the response to the several welcome addresses. "Tuskegee," said Dr. Washington, when repeatedly interrupted by applause, "Tuskegee has entertained many distinguished persons, but we are honouring them present." Tuskepers bring my power to express I urge you to feel at home, for when this institution was planed we dedicated ourselves to present the leaders during more than thirty years, Representing the masses of my people who stand as the backbone of the leadership of this organization must realize the great responsibility of drawing so many people associated with colored bodies. You come with a high reputation among all the people, and therefore, you must stand as the leader of this organization associated with colored bodies. You come with a high reputation among all the people, and therefore, you must stand as the leader of this organization. We have seen a great thing can be done at Tuskegee and the story is told over again. I urge you to stand by your leaders. In Bush, the leader of the beloved Grand Master, you have leaders as worthy as any cause ever claimed, blocks your stay, and not their stumbling blocks. Advises Business. Dr. Washington said that often there is more danger in prosperity, than in adversity. He warns the leaders, among the poor, to avoid building up a strict business methods in all colored organizations. He gave it as his opinion that strong and well-tried men are needed more among the poor. "Our white friends in the South will treat with strong black men, but not with weaklings, he said. We will not pass pride in the Mosiac Templars," he continued, "because it is not an appendage to some white organization, and raised the pressure on those who chose your name, and now you see how far it has gone. You have extended your business beyond the seas." Pope John Paul II, the Master of this state, made a striking address in welcoming the delegates to Alabama. The response of John E. Bush, who was given the title of Master, with wit and humor and artful eloquence he told the story of the early struggles of what is now conceded to be the most successful and the soundest Negro fraternity. Reports Gratifying. The reports of the several officers were greetifying to all, delegates and visitors alike. The Mosiac Templars have quietly stolen in upon the fragrance of their warriors through peace. Upon the completion of a port, Grand Master Ellott, who succeeded the late William Alexander, who was the first to be elected for a full term by acclamation upon motion of John E. Bush. The successors presented by National Grand Scribe Bubba of the session, and the debates that ensued, showed a marked intelligence over the years of the Mosiac Templars have grown from one temple and half a chamber to a full membership of 400,000. They have learnt about the importance of kansas and now embrace the nation. Figures Tell the Story. Mr. Bush reports that the income of the organization since 1911 aggregates $191,307.34. The present assets of the order amount to $150,474.36. These assets are $188,307.34. The present assets of Little Rock, valued at $60,000. In actual cash Mr. Bush reported as having on hand $64,003.19. In death claims perhaps best served by W. R. Halliday, the last triennial convention $64,648.37. The soundness of the organization was perhaps best served by W. R. Halliday, the well known Southern actuary, and submitted by Secretary Bush. The actuary was a stop in fraternal progress and sealed the leadership of this organization. Auditor and Lawyer Report Auditor and Lawyer Report. National Grand Auditor John H. McCormick, leader of order, showed that a fraternity like any other business, thrives best under strictest business methods, while a less strictive law makes rules a law lawyer, who is the attorney-general, reported a minimum of law suits and a maximum of claims settled in the court. The prevaling laws. The several State Grand Masters brought in flattering records of increased membership and financial resources in the various jurisdictions. The National Editor of the Mosaic Guide, the official organ, is one colored newspaper, really pays its expenses makes time for new needs. The report of the National Medical Examiner, Dr. J. W.

W. S. SCARBOROUGH President of Wilberforce University. In giving my impressions of Wilberforce University, I can do no better than that. I have been in a report made last year. He said: Ohio has the honor of having the leading university in America for the college education of the colored race. Wilberforce University, near Xenia, Green Bay, is the Civil War, is not only the SPORTER CRELLER Some greatest but the oldest institution of learning of this character in the country. The first move to furnish a seminary of learning for the colored race in Ohio originated with Daniel A. Payne, a self-educated Negro of Charleston, S. C. As a result of his efforts, Union Seminary, near EMERY H Columbus, was organized in 1844. The school was started on the manual training plan. Union Seminary, by reason of location and other circumstances, made slow growth, but it was the pioneer and contributed largely to the founding of Wilberforce University, and was finally, in 1863, consolidated with the latter institution. * * * College Campus Wilberforce Wilberforce has been fortunate in the high character, sterling qualities and splendid mental equipment of her preser- tance to the presidents in order since Bisho Pasha, 1851-1854; Prof. S.

President of Wilbe Ough is probably the most learned col- oed man in America. He was born in Georgia in 1856. He graduated from Oberlin College in 1856. He was shot dead head of the classical department in Wilberforce University in 1877. He has thus been an instructor in the university thirty-six years and president five years. He is the author of Greek and Latin textbooks which are extensively used in both colored and white schools. The greatest impetus to the permanence of the university came in 1887, when the department ed $4,000 to establish a normal and industrial department at Wilberforce. This department is located on a tract of about three hundred acres of the State adjoining the fifty-two acres HALL GALLOW MALL Buildings of Wilberforce originally purchased by the university. The State owns the grounds and buildings, and of the nine trustees of the normal and industrial department, the Governor appoints five, Wilberforce University trustees select three, and the president of the university is ox-officio the ninth member of this board. IALL, WILBERFORCE UNI From these small beginnings a great university and training school has been built up, until today there are thirty-two teachers and over four hundred and fifty students. The three departments — Wilberforce University, Payne Theological Seminary, and the Normal and Industrial Department— occupy twelve large brick buildings, University, Wilberforce, Ohio the main building, Shorter Hall, being forty by one hundred and sixty feet and four stories high. There are $15,000 in library building, the gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie. The last building completed is Emery Hall, which is a beautiful building costing $50,000. The funds for this fine building were obtained from three CARBOROUGH Perforce University. sources—general donations secured by President Scarborough, a gift of $17,000 by Barringe and a gift from Mrs. Emery, secured by Miss Hallie Q.

The dormitories will only accommodate about five hundred pupils. There is need for a large increase, as the attendance would soon reach one thousand if the university had accommodation. The influence of Wilberforce on the mental, social and moral welfare of the colored race, not only of Ohio but of the whole world, is incalculable. Ten thousand students have received training at Wilberforce. Five hundred teachers have gone forth into every State and into all lands to uplift the race; many are teaches in a press of other colleges; some are professional men and hundreds are splendid mechanics due to industrial training at Wilberforce. The buildings grouped around the college campus are artistic and massive and commemorate by name the noble members of the race who have contributed so much to the upbuilding of Wilberforce Shorter Hall, Mitchell Hall, Aret Hall, and others, and in 1966 the fine Trades Building was completed and named Galloway Hall in honor of Dr. William A. Galloway, of Xenia, who has served as trustee seventeen years, and to whom Wilberforce University owes more than to any other white citizen of the State. Above the ornate entrance of this superb structure, chiseled in the enduring rock, is this splendid sentiment: Ca.

The soundness of his policy has burned its way into the confidence of the people that he will an extent that appropriations for this school have brought every dollar he has asked for, a fact that is not true of any other college in Ohio. He has secured for his instructors the schedule of salaries the minimum of which is above the maximum of the former. Still better, his teachers are paid while doing special study during vacation. Professor Joiner has been engaged in the field of education for nearly twenty years, having served seven years as director of the Teachers Training Office of the University. He graduated from Wil伯force and took post-graduate work at University of Chicago and professional work at Howell.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 28280. SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1914. The Hague business seems to be a regular strife breeder. Get your bins filled. The time is nigh at hand when coal carts will look better than potato wagons. The Knights of Pythias had a great time in Shelbyville, Ind., this week. The occasion was the assembling of the Grand Lodge of the State. A policeman has no more right to beat up a citizen than any one else. His club is his weapon of defense and not offense. He will not use it very often if he uses it when he should do so. The little boy said he did not like to eat watermelon because he got his ears wet. Chestnut, ain't it? It's a classic. Why so? Because it keeps. But back to the red and luscious. That boy was eating watermelon in the right way for real enjoyment. Norfolk, Va., is coming up as a convention city. During the month of August it will entertain the Episcopal Convocation of the Southern Diocese of Virginia, the National Association of Graduate Nurses and the Elks of the World. It reminds us that Indianapolis is due some of the good big things. Shakespeare suggested troublesome war times by speaking of lions whaling in the streets and other portends that bespoke dire calamities. If he lived in this day, at this time, when the war eagle's scream is the most universal sound, and apparently the most welcome, what would he have said in our view of our super-dreadful nights of our submarines, our ultra-neroplanes and their ultimate destroys? Talking about the crash of matter and the wreck of worlds—this is the life! This piece of intelligence in one of the African journals: "War between the United States and Mexico is in full swing, and every mail brings news of bloody encounters and the sacrifice of thousands of human lives. Incidental to this is the report of brutal outrages on weak women and defenseless children, rapipe, famine and all the horrors of war—and all this between nations claiming to be civilized." How can he live after saying that? The editor drew heavily on his imagination—very heavily—overdrew his account. Well, the fact of it is he thought that would be the next thing so he proceeded to scoop his brother editors. However, "taint" too late yet for all of it to happen. Our folks are getting ingenious just like the white folks. A colored woman of Atlantic City, N. J., was employed about a building where there were many offices in which were girl stenographers. The colored woman set her wits to working as to how she could enjoy a larger salary than she was getting. In short, she concluded to raise her own salary. She got herself up into a ghostly form and hid in the rooms in convenient places, and from where she uttered groans and cries as if she were of the departed. She also met them in her questionable shape. The girls, of course, lost no time in making their get away. In their flight they would leave their valuable purses and so their was the valuable sister's hard vest. She gathered another shirt not sown. But she did the trick once too often: they got her. The moral: Do not reap where you don't sow. The Afro-American Realty Company of Denver, Colo., proposes a theatre and athletic club to cost $150,000. A news note says: "Robert Barrett promoted this building and will manage the theatre in connection with the Negro theaters in Nashville, Chattanooga, Washington, Philadelphia, New York and other cities belonging to the circuit, thus assuring the best of attractions. The theatre will seat 2,000 persons and contain all of the most modern equipment, heating and ventilating apparatus, along with spacious foyers and main entrance of marble and tile, and will be equal to the best to be found." The enterprise is very unusual in the country, no section of the country is so much larger than is included in a single business of the kind. It was Horace Greeley of years ago who said, Go west, young man, and grow up with the country. Apparently this young man and his associates have done so. We will have to go west for our patterns, maybe. We felt all along that Mme. Caillaux, wife of Frances, ex-Premier, would be acquitted. True enough, a life has been lost; a life has put out by the woman. And she was but a woman, a timorous creature, and, as she should have been, retreating and hiding from a wrold publicity of her private affairs. Had she been less a woman Editor Calmette would have been living. Her husband promised to put a quietus on the attacks made on their lives. But he dalled. Then if her husband will not act in the defense of the wife, as it was his place to act, then she will be her husband's friend and punish him, who so cruelly offended the wife of that friend she loved so dearly. Perhaps she sought no such roundabout way to put an end to a scandal monger. It was a question of a cruel and unjust method of waging a political campaign. She could not see that their private affairs had so much to do with it—at least, not to the extent of wrecking their lives. It was what the editor was doing; it is what he has done. We are not to be hounded by private means or even public for whatever we may do. "Judge Smith of the Sixth Judicial District of Kentucky, who tried the case at Hopkinsville recently against the L. & N. Railway Company, for failure to provide first class accommodations for colored people, in commenting upon the merits of the case, said: "Now the principle involved in these prosecutions is whether or not a colored man will be forced to receive a half pound for the price of a pound, and whether a dollar in the hands of a black man is worth any less than a dollar in the hands of a white man. It is just as wrong to give a colored man inferior transportation for the maximum fare as it would be to give him halfvalued merchandise for the top price. I mean to push these prosecutions against all the railroads in my district until the evil is abated without regard to whose ox is gored. If these cases are not sufficient, I will indict them again." Yes, we have insisted that the offending companies owe their Negro patrons rebate. They might have permitted them to have gone half fare, since they received half decent treatment. Who said something about soulless corporations? Governor Cole L. Blease, of South Carolina, is a mixed blessing; he is a strange compound of good and bad. He would to hell with the constitution if it permits the mingling of the races, yet he is emptying the prison of his state. Here is his strange preachment in turning the prisoners out: "I have no apology to make for a single parole, commutation or pardon that I have granted," he says, "I work by the Golden Rule, and whoever objects to that isn't a Christian, but a plain hypocrite. If all the men guilty of crime were tried many gentlemen in high places might be removed to prison cells. In my opinion there will be more souls lost through hypocrisy than through all the other crimes in the decalogue. "You hear from your pulpit, 'Help the heaten' but when one helps a fellow countryman and attempts to bring out the good in him and give him another chance in life the same people yell, 'Pardoning too many people.'" Of course he can overdo the thing, but that has nothing to do with his hat. A man that feels deeply for the unfortunate person in need, set down as—well, not as a bad man. The following from Honolulu: Hawaii: Color and race are the issues frankly being put to the front by Delegate Kuhio, a full-blooded Hawaiian, in his campaign for re-election to Congress. In his opening speech Kuhio says: "Every race is proud of itself and proud of its history, and the Hawaiian race has a right to feel that pride. So long as there is a majority of Hawaiian voters, and we should use our majority to send a Hawaiian as delegate to Congress. "If the Haloes (whites) had a majority here they certainly would elect an Haole as delegate." The Hawaiian is essentially right. His case, however, does not quite fit conditions in the United States proper. Here we can not afford to be so aggressive in waging a racial war. We contend for the citizen's rights; not so much for his $triviseleagues, as that would tend to pit the races. The Hawaiians are of equal influence in all ways—numerically, financially and from the standpoint of education. They move backwards if they do not live in Hawaii, or they are known, that they now enjoy, or that may be expected in common with the white citizens that have become residents of their island. VOTED OUT THIRD DEGREEING The Senate of Georgia has passed a bill making it unlawful for public officials to subject prisoners to the so-called "third degree." The bill may not become a law since the house must agonize it, and then the Governor has a chance at it. The "third degree" business or sweating, doubtless, has been of some use. But it is vicious in that it is abused. And very often it is applied to innocent persons. The old gag about what you don't know don't hurt you is all right, but what you feel hurts bad enough. Banging, kicking and cuffing even if not meant to kill you is insulting. Officers, very often, go on the theory that an arrested man can not be insulted. The law holds every man innocent until proven guilty, at least, that's the law idea. If men are held guilty to begin with then there might be reason for the term of imprisonment to begin the moment one is arrested. Really, maltreatment of an individual should not be expected anywhere. The Supreme Court of North Carolina has gone so far as to hold that the guards in prisons have no lawful right to whip prisoners. We cannot see why the courts have so long permitted the other thing. A man's a man in any old place, and when he reaches that estate—manhood—twenty-one and above—his body should be as sacred and free of touch as that of a virgin with vows. Many men, perhaps, will not agree with such a strong proposition as we put, but there are many more who know the humiliating influence of the lash. If we were a novelist we could go further, insisting that a healthy, normal child would no longer respect the father that received a blow without resenting it in some manner. Of course men are overpowered, and consequently are sometimes compelled to submit. But the effort to maintain oneself is it. Little governments keep this principle well in mind. The duelist is satisfied to occupy the field, if only to stand with folded arms in front of his adversary. Mankind is the same, practically, even if every man does not register the same degree of defense, offense or pugnancy. The body of the humble prisoner who commits a breach should be just as inviolate as those of gilded palaces. If the individual in prison is unruly; if he will not work, there are other methods to bring him around. If he is guilty, he will be punished in prison is largely accomplished. If within prison walls he is further cut off from society the purpose is served. THE FREEMAN.

RICHARD P. ERNST FOR THE U.S. SENATE Urged As a Fitting Successor to William O'Connell Bradley. COVINGTON, Ky.—There is a double responsibility resting upon the colored voters in the state. With other classes of citizens they have their share of the responsibility to redeem the nation from the corruption which have brought the Government into ridicule and its industries to the detriment of the people. Thus, the colored voter has the responsibility of considering the political preservation of his race. If you have been a close observant of current events, and it must be plain to you that the present crisis which the Democratic party is facing is not acute with the Negro than with any other class of citizens, because the Democrats are practically eliminated by political corruption. We feel that it is our duty to be frank with you in saying that this position toward our race has grown beyond the confines of the Democratic party, and it now becomes necessary for the colored voter to inform himself not only of the qualifications of the men who, as Republicans, must unravel the tangle into which the Democrats have enmeshed our affairs of Government, but must, as essentially, inform himself as to whether or not these aspirants are friendly to his occupation in the things that are to be done. We believe rather than his protestations—his deeds, rather than his excuses. Accordingly, we, the undersigned, being of the same race to which you belong, and bound by the same ties of racial interest, as well as beset by the same racial disadvantages and prejudices, ask you to give favorable consideration to the candidacy of the Honorable Richard P. Ernst, for the nomination of the Republican party for United States Senator. Assuredly, we can conceive of no individual so perfectly fitted, from the standpoint of interest in the Negro race, to take up the work that was laid down by our lamented friend, William O'Connell Bradley. Mr. Ernst has never used his friendship for the colored race as a pawn in the reason that he has never, prior to this time, sought the preferment of his own race. He has never been invested in the advancement of the ambitions of others and the Republican party. Withal, he has never singled the colored race. Mr. Ernst has not only done this in a political way, but he has done it in a practical way. Mr. Ernst has aided us in the building of our churches, he has assisted in the maintenance of our schools, he has offered our fraternities, and has sought it out. He has also acted his powerful abilities into every move in the advancement of our race. He has taken struggling and worthy colored boys and placed them in positions of leadership. He has deft to the ambitions of our people. He has never substituted an excuse-for the negro, the cognize, he has always recognized him. Do you not think that the mantle of Senator Bradley should fall upon his shoulders of a man who is certain his group will be regarded race, instead of upon the shoulders of a man whose disposition in regard to the Negro is at a best a negligible quantity. We are writing to ask you to give your personal investigation to Mr. Bush, and to ask you to be a political but private friend of the colored race. After you have done this, we appeal to you to aid in making the public party in this year's contest, the successor of our great and good friend, the late Senator Bradley, and the late Senator Bradley, and the president of the colored people in the United States Senate will never go by default. We shall not be regaled with excuses for the colored people our rights—our rights will be upheld. We beg to call your attention to the fact that the endorsements given herewith are from prominent men, not from our own members of the Kentucky, and from all the varied walks of life. Hoping that you may see your way clear for the good he has accomplished for our race, but for the good that he will be able to accomplish for the Republican party and the country, we are W. H.

Wright.) LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 27.—With a brass band furnishing music for the occasion, before a crowd of about two thousand fans, Rube Foster's new imported White Sox made good, with the bugs by trimming the Easterners, scoring four runs in the last half of the eighth inning. Handsome Pounell's hitting and Barbers play around second-foured, and the account of a gloomy day. Manager Foster selected. "We were to have the pill on account of his speed, but not being in form, was released by T. Johnson in the sixth inning. Brown for the Giants pitched shut out ball until the eighth, when he weakened. The Giants started scoring in the first, Matthew, first up, doubles and scored on Kindle's single. Gordon struck out, but Pannell doubled over the fence. Kindle going to third, he scoring on Barber's post-的中. "Oh, John," the Giants made another in the second on A. John's single, and Brown's double. The Sox seemed good for a score in the second, when James opened with a single, but Manager Foster selected himself to run for him. I wonder why? I wonder why? The band started playing get out and get under. The "Rube" feeling good tanged down the lawn and proceeded to act accordingly. He got out all right, but failing got under. But the throw amid laughter and applause. The Inning ended with Dunbar flying out. The Giants added their final score in the fifth. Pannell Triples to Score Board. Matthew, first up, struck out. Kindle doubled and it looked bad when Gordon struck out. But old "Handsome" Panther was able to round the by grounding out. Barber to Cooper. Pitcher Wickwane gave way to the second inning until the ninth, when things got critical and Manager Foster called on Moore, who proved a lifesaver. Brown had been pitching an airtight ball game, and the had failed to get to a man past second base. Wenkens in the Eighth Brown weakened in the eighth, and our folks copped the grapes. When the eighth opened the bugs reared up on their hind legs and commenced to bark at the new manager, not being used to being shut out, and they told him so, which got the Rube's goat, and just to show them that he had brought down a real live human ball club instead of a bunch of old relics, told his boys they must score. Buckner, first up, walked; James doubled him to third, Briscoo batting for Bennett, walking, filling the bags. Cooper hit to Matthew, who being so anxious for a double play, fumbled Buckner's hit and James scored. Briscoo was forced out at second, but Cooper was safe at first. Cooper swined second. T. Johnson was hit by a pitched ball. Dunbar tripled, scoring Cooper and Johnson. C. Johnson hit a long sacrifice fly, scoring Dunbar with what proved to be the winning run. The Giants threatened to tie the score in the ninth and would have done it but for the fine generalship of old foxy Rube. A. Johnson opened the ninth with a clean single. Manager Smith wishing to help his boys along, batted for Moore and slapped the horsehide over the fence and Johnson went to third. "Old Fox" Busy-Up to Old Tricks. OVER ON TRICKS Mason Foster did this, and was usual, by calling in Moore to save the day, with the count two and three on Matthew. Mason Foster went out on he, and Moore, to catch the catcher, and he talked to the pitcher: turned around, and viewed the multitude. Mason Foster through taking and stalling for time, Moore was controlled and retired the side without a hit or run, and the Sox had grabbed the old ball game right out of the fire. Score: H. 5 AB. BH.

Dunbar and Muckner are two old noted eastern players and noted for heavy slugging. In Kindle, Mead and Williams the Giants have a fast infield. Brown, of the Giants, with a little more experience, will be a crack pitcher. Shortstop Barber started badly on account of his咏月拍, but the first two seasons, but soon hit his stride and his fielding and throwing were a feature. The band enlivened things with some catchy music which seemed to please the ladies, who were toged up in the latest style. “Handsome” Pannell was the hitting deon of the day. Pryor, third baseman of the Sox, is said to have the best arm in the game. Some, "whib." Rube Foster still remains the peer of all colored managers. A small fan in the bleachers asked the "Rube"; "Mister, alm't you de champion manager of de wold?" being modest, said: "Naw, boy, boy, don't let you any one hear you say that."

MISSES KING AND GEE AT THE CHELSEA WASH- WASH- (By W. Cogswell Malord.) Misses Eiffie King and Lottie Gee vanaudeville program at the Chester Theater was marvelously great, and their singing was very clever. They are singing very well. The *Loving Dancing Man*, "Please My Family a Favor," "Just for Toys," "Smother Me With Kisses," the featuring act, "Smother Me With Kisses," excelled. They are some actresses and my estimation they are among the colored stage. The picture show was very good due to Mr. Gentry, the manager, for he running the best of photo plays, and is presumed by the theatre-going public, for his house is always the starlines of the Fairyland Theatre, the Seminaries and the act at the Fairyland Theatre. They are very good. The photo plays were great and his theatre is straight. LA JOY AND BAILEY.

AT THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATRE Tim E. Owsley. Prop. A nice vaudeville bill at the Crown Garden theatre this week. Everybody, sewing and hearing in, walked in and thoroughly different role. They do a classy business with Miss Walker straight up. Drake has a audience to going and keeps it that way. Both put over taking songs. Miss Walker also does a pretty soft shoe dance. She showed up to better advantage than at any other time of her seven weeks at the Crown Diamonds sparkle and gleam as she moves about. She brought the house down with his cornet work, finishing with the "Memphis Blues." Both of these performers were as well received as they have been at any time of their several Corton and Jackson. Those two boys that act are on the bill this week after an absence of one week. They are doing their high art turn, lavishly dressed as any English lords, looking swell and good, especially to the workmen, who are liked for their good work and versatility. Gant and Perkins. Those are swell girls for true, Gant and Perkins. Nothing better of the theater. Good clothes? Yes. Alberta is super in figure, with a big, bright face. She gets off some splendid jokes at the expense of her partner. Miss Gant responds with a right—dainty? Well, I guess so. They've got some act. Miss Gant singles in "Miss" and "Miss Glide." The Joe Sandiford Duo. These two people are also good to see and hear. In fact it is one of the leading teams of the stage. Both are good talkers. Sandford puts considerable intelligence in his comedy, something of the Bob Cole order. The lady is expressive and winsome. She seems to enjoy her work. She is pretty and dresses well. GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATER, PHILADELPHIA, The spacious New Standard Theater was crowded all week, a most attractive bill having been presented by Manager Gibson. The headliner was Toliver and Chapelle, who appeared in a Mexican sketch, and sang Tutt Whitney's latest composition, "Mexico," which caught on at once. Robinson and White were a telling pair with their excellent songs and cornet and slide trombone duets. The Nightingale Four were sensational and showed some exemplification of popular dances. Their dancing classique was a model of graceful motion. The Blackberry Comedy Four amused the audience for 15 minutes, which they appreciated. Slmes' Eight Honey Suckles rounded out the show with songs and dances. The whole program was pleasing and another triumph for the Gibson policy in vaudeville. SAM EVANS. VENTRILOQUIST.

GHOSTS OF HOAG HAUNTS WILLIAM'S MERCENARY Amy Leslie's Needless Apology for Color—The Slumber Aargued. The report which was heralded last week that Bert Williams had made a hit with his new album, *The season this season is again commendable. But like the important scribblers who use the same language, he is the object to the overstress of William's color, birthright and acting capacity. He is, however, the most amorous and greatest comedian in the world. He is the white lady flatterer, must be taught that there is no apology needed, especially an actor is pronounced black and is superfluous. Color is a conditional, exasperated assamption, which the white man of this comedy wields a dusky hued race, had brought into play, which now wilt under the fiery glow of white slave-masters' offsprings by blinding of its history now and school children of its history now and school children. At we hear it has been omitted to posity, its inference has been omitted, its usage makes a joke of the humber element of its history now and school children. Nor is it not an American subject. I once had an interview with his father in New York and he formed me into a minister in the Nation of the United States. Nor is it heart and soul, with the colored race exasperating its is only one among the greatest comedians of this country and Amy Sellele's mercenary is haunted by the greatest colored American comedian who ever lived. The same misappropriation has longed to England, and his music, as I heard him interpret it, was distinctly after the master's of Europe. But as for a comedy of the greatest colored composer living. Williams & Walker were made famous as comedy stars by accident of what Bob Brown and Bob A. Kelley had originated and originally produced in which instance Will Marion Cook made a name as a composer and Paul Lawrence Dunbar added some lyrics. So now in this epistle we will mention Williams placed in granulated history. Irving Jones and Roy Johnson at the Grand. If reputation counts for anything, Jones & Johnson were the big drawing feature last Monday night at the Grand Theater. Irving Jones, who has always delivered an original bunch of saying, again duplicated his humor as of yore and Roy Johnson, one of the best acrobatic dancers on the stage, light on his toes and with easy movements, won big applause. The white actors included Delton, Wareena & Delton, excellent balancers; Norwood & Hall, very clever in advanced dialogue of oddities; Dicklnson & Deagon, extra good fakirs, and V. P. Woodward, not quite so good as colored magicians, completed the bill. Al Bartletts colored picture, "Fall of the Mighty," at least, made good. The tall tango man, the ball, auto and hotel scenes with Billie Arntie as the main squeeze and Clayborn Jones, in one scene, were attractive. The second half of last week had Johnson toward and Listen, gooduparrow. The Big Signee's Dolly, which were novel and very good; Cook Slaters, very good singers, crudely lacking in art; Beeman & Anderson, very clever skaters, and Hufford & Chain, who went a frost. Fleck Collins waltz and Texas tommy tango, included Stewart & Thomas, winners; Hartford & Mays, Noonan & Shane and White & Demling. There is to be a cake walk Aug. 1 and 2 and a minstrel show next week. Johnnie Woods, Ventriloquist, at the New Monogram.

Others on the bill were John Gertrude, a very charming man, and the director, Woods has no superiors. Price, a good soubret with a pleasing voice; Ed Goodbar, the tenor, who sang the song of the day; Clara Liares, a soubret and woodman dancer; Carl Dryden, who recited Dunstan's poem of mert, and the soloist of mert, with two much lassitude of art precision, who should have taken an encore instead of singing. White Woods, Mark & Cross were the tango exhibitors. **Lillard & Lillard at the Monogram.** James A. Lillard, an excellent tenor of Smart Set fame, was the main attraction at this house in a classy act, the *pretty actress*, pretty actress, handsomely costumed as a mulatto Indian swau, who appeared in venerable tango dances with her husband. The remainder of the cast, including Jason, some little body, now bleached like a strawberry, who sang, "He's a Devil," and other cute songs. Joe Butler, a good friend of the director, as ever, returned popular, and Spencer Finley, who again delivered a new, good, original line of talk and parodies, completed a good bill. The moving pictures at this house is now something fine. **THE PICTURE PLAYS** The States had the "Great Stroke." The Lincoln had the "Battle of the Sexes." The Star had "The Sky Monster," which drew heavy. The Washington had "The Incompetent. The Phoenix had "The Boer War," and the "Fountain" had good attendance, who passed into the Chateau Gardens, next door, after the show. STAGE NOTES AND STROLL NEWS....

NOTICE TO PERFORMERS, MANAGERS OR PROPRIE- REN Beware of the Bruce & Boone Stock Company, better known as the Tango Stock Company. They have not got 'em. You work seven days in the workplace, you work 8 hours a day. They also cause you and themselves to get in bad with hotel bills. They are sports—the managers—and therefore your honest labor is gone while they are working. They are never dead dead. My experience comes from work at Waco.

ROBINSON'S FAMOUS SHOWS BAND AND MINTRELS. We have toured the Southern states and middle Atlantic states. We are here in Canada and we have months to can say without a doubt we have the reputation of having the best band and minstrel on the road, under the leadership of Prof. Eugene Goreman, our band director.

Our manager, Mr. Bert Bowers, says he is well pleased with the since Prof. Eugene Clark enlarged it—says it is the best on the road. NOTES FROM C. R. LEGGETT'S MIN STREL SHOW. (By Billy Terry.) Our baseball team defeated the Hinton Cuban Glans at Hinton, W. Va. Friday by a score of 8 to 6 in a ten-game game were the pitching of Dick Wyatt and the fielding of Jackson. The latter saved the game by making a hard catch of a line drive that would have been missed. The team lines up Monday and Tuesday for a bet of $50 a game. We are sure going fine in Hinton. We play under the rules. The team was held over for the fire department for another week. The show has been made stronger by three new faces: comedian, and Kid Thomas and wife, who are sure there with the goods. The company is getting larger every day, now numbering people like him and our stage manager, Billy Terry. NEWS FROM YOUNG BROS.' BLACK TROUBAIDOURS. (By Seymour James.)

MILES' BAND AND MIN-STRELLS WITH JONES' BROS. & WILSON'S THREE-RING CIRCUS. Owasso, Mich. We are now among the Great Lakes in North America. We bound. We can still boast of fine business and as for the weather condition, we are actually a case of impossibility for a summer any weather more favorable than has this one for the past few weeks, as the temperature is moderate and the cool air is not so cold. Weither from the beautiful lakes are the pure airs of life. At this writing we are in the job. Our band and minstrel show continues to bring great applause from both the pub and management; isn't it amazing that we extend our best regards to all friends both in and out of the pro-grams we are preparing to Freddie ratt.

Haynes, formerly general manager of the Afro-American Film Company, has purchased the four story residence at 159 W. 138th street, ex-place of the former Haynes studio and the office and studio of the Hayes Photoplay company, will occupy a portion of the beautiful building, no other portion of the other portion for their residence. Within the past year Mr. Haynes has been associated with some of the very best photoplay artists in the picture art and industry afford, consequently he has gained valuable knowledge and much experience that no other portion of the company will release two productions a month and it is their hope that he is today the best posted and most practical motion picture producer of color in the industry. It is said that he will eventually company will release two productions a month and it is their hope that he will release two to put the negro photoplays on a higher level in the market. The first production that will be released will be "Uncle Remus and Abbie Mitchell" the principle characters, supported by an all star cast. The production will be in two films, one with Abbie Mitchell and one with negro performers not produced. The company is also contemplating to film an 5,000-foot industrial production of Mount Boney, Miss. Boley, Okla., also the principle incidents of the "National Business League," "National Baptist convention," and "National Baptist convention" which will be held in Muskegee, Philadelphia and Boston respectfully.

New "Smart Set" to Begin Rehearsals. (By Ar-W-Tee.) That premier comedian, playwright and composer, Salem Tutt Whitney, and address the Salem Tutt Whitney address, 610 North Thirty-ninth street, Philadelphia, Pa. that "The Smart Set" will begin the rehearsals of its own show at the at the theater in this city on August. The offering for the coming season Mr. Whitney says, will be called "His Ex-Concert," and the plot lines of last season's big success, "The Wrong Mr. President," but will be rewritten, improved and adapted to the music, new costumes and some very novel features in comedy and dancing nature. The carry show will be J. Homer Tutt will be responsible for the musical numbers, and this will be a guarantee of their merit. The carry show will be the strongest color road company in the business. The "Smart Set" this year is fortunate in nature, comedy singer and dancer, Miss Daisy Martin, for the leading female role. Dudley's popular U street theater had an excellent bill last week. The theater opened on Friday night with their every-catchy "Memphis Blues," "That Baseball Rag" and other selections. The rendition of "The Blues" was the first time a member of the team is especially fine and is always good for two big encores. Martin and Motley get off well and their singing and dancing won for the team. Lew W. Henry, who is "some manager," has put this house on a paying basis and there is little room of any other theater in town singing but standard attractions and the people can't stay away. Effie King and Lottie Gee, the "Ginger Girls," after a record breaking two weeks at the Howard's pulling team, are putting in two more weeks at the Chelsea, and Manager Douglas Gentry has been at his wits end to find the answer. They are pouring into the spacious playhouse night after night to see this wonderful full sister team, acknowledged to be the best in the team in their line of work. Their acts are new, their costumes represent the "last word" in the modiste's art and they are singing and dancing with the Ginger Girls. It is aptly applied to these lively performers, for they are full of the real article to be a new and exciting sensation every time they are stage. King and Gee have another new act for the Chelsea this week and they are forced to see them, prior to their departure for a long tour on the "big time." Erb Robinson and James White have reunited—and have been playing in Philadelphia. They put on a good show—and their "Burglar Rag" is well summed up and is a comedy and dramatic hit. As the matter now stands, it is expected that the New American theater will be opened on the 24th of August by Dudley and Thomas, with "The President," as the initial attraction. There is no reason why this house should not be a marked success, as it will be opened by the clientele that has made the oHward the rallying point of the "uptown" amusement lovers, but will offer a convenient payment to the gallerys that formerly filled the galleries at the Academy and other down-town white houses. With a clear energetic theatrical geniuses, S. H. Dudley and A. J. Thomas should find the New American a veritable gold mine. Estelle Baylor's sweet soprano and winning smile, coupled with dainty acting and supplemented by Will Kemp and teese dancing, have combined to fill John H. Hall's Fairyland theater last week with good people from all over the country, and combined to Mandalay, duet and hesitation, is a taking number, and Mr. Johnson's revival of Ernest Hogan's "Wouldn't You Dream," caught on. They will be seen elsewhere on the Dudley circuit in town. S. H. Dudley and his mule, "Patrick," are welcoming their old friends on the western wheel of the Dudley circuit. The Grand theater, Cleveland, O., which opened on July 20, is a new theater that makes a fine link in the chain between Detroit and Pittsburg. Leslie Louis, manager of the Globe theater, Norfolk, Va., was in the city Sunday, conferring with Manager Lew W. Henry on a big theatrical deal that may be pulled off in the near future. Most of the performers who visit Washington are first-class bushness and have readily and hold on to them. A few think it smart to beat landlads out of board bills and borrow money from the city to finance the formation of paying it back. The former "make good" and invariably get good assignments; but the managers are going to have much idle time on their hands in the future. It pays to be "straight" in the theatrical business, as well as in all other callings. Pay go and there will be no "after-claps." Daisy Martin, "The Vital Spark." Daisy Martin, whose name is a playful reference to a triumphant week at the oward, and brought three new songs to town that were sung at the ears, to speak. Those who hear Miss Martin's strong and resonant voice year after year, and see in it no change, she she preserves her vocal organs in such perfect condition. She is an athlete she especially expects to never be, slick or general. having an ache or pain. She is a "vital spark," and holds that sensible ability to make others happy. That she lives up to this ideal is apparent to all who have seen Ms. Martin's life of any aggregation, either in the show or in the company of her friends. Miss Martin is filling in some time at her home, but her liminary to returning here the first week in August to join "The Smart Sheet" is to be the leading lady this year. Susie Sutton a "Washingtonian." Susie Sutton, the versatile character artist, is now located in her elegant home at 539 Florida avenue, northwest of Washington. Her callers who have tendered her a warm welcome as a "Washingtonian." She has been joined by her mother, Mrs. American Jackson, a close confidante on her New York City to look after the home when Miss Sutton is "on the road." Miss Sutton and Miss Jackson were guests of honor at a theater in Washington, and were befriended by Manager Thomas and R. W. Thompson, and on Sunday they were tended by complimentary dinner by manager 640 Washington avenue, northwest, at which several out-of-town guests were present. Miss Sutton may embark in the concert with her friends at her bespoke for her great success in whatever she undertakes. In response to popular demand she will fill a limited number of engagements hereabouts before taking up her work for next season. Minnie Hackless a "Farmer" as Well as an Artiste. One of the hardest-working and most conscientious teams in the business is Ernest Christian and Minnie McCormick. Ernest starts full of fun as an egg is of meat. With them there's something doing" every minute, the comedy and music flowing each funious start to finish, each part terrifying the other, the burden. The act takes well because it has merit and is in a class by itself. One can witness the performance without growing weary, each interpretation is always "just a little different from the rest." Miss Hackleess spends her annual vacation. A general manager and a farmworm, Miss Hackleess, example others may follow to the advantage of themselves, the profession and the farm. Miss Hackleess is a full-ward to Louisville, making Lynchburg, Roanoke and Richmond enroute. Lillian Browne, William DeMont and Henrietta Benton Davie are entertaining the multitudes at Jacksonville, Fla. Marjorie Sipp goes to Jacksonville, Fla., at the close of her Atanta time. She is "cleaning up." Mr. Charles Francis Adams, one of the owners of the Palace Airdromes, who was married recently to Miss Brittany McCormick, has been enjoying a honey-moon trip to Niagara Falls, Buffalo and other points, returned to town this week left almost immediately for fortnight in the Virginia hills near Leesburg. Lewis B. Thomas, of the Howard theater management, who has had gratifying success as a song writer, is about to place on the market a new composition along ambitious lines, tunes be like musicals, tin and will be introduced by her. Mr. Thomas "I Wonder If I'm Wasting All My Love on You" proved to be one of the best sellers of the past year. Romeo L. Dougherty has resigned the dramatic editorship of the Amsterdam to may go to Porto Rico to embark in business. W. T. Carroll, formerly of this city, now the CEO of Europe's Tempo club of New York City spent a few days among old friends here last week. He had just returned from Paris, France, where the club has been hosting class parties. At one of the functions the president of France was a guest. Susie Sutton, in response to the insistent demand of her host of Washington friends, added limited numbers of engagements hereabouts, before taking up her fall work, for which she is booked up pretty solidly after the middle of September. "Original Rags," (Arthur Wooldige), agreeably surprised the crowds by reeling over and over the Howe Center engagement budget, back to hear his new budget of songs and together, with a new line of personalities, was famous dity "I Know That He'll Be Happy 'Till He Dies." Leonze Lacez Johnson and her husband, Billy B. Johnson, have "doubled up," and as Johnson and Johnson, put on a clever act at the award last week. As a singing and dancing team, Sellman and Jackson are in the front row. Sellman's balls pull encores at every performance, ass Jackson is a worthy running mate. Manager A.J.

Roberson Cycle Company 416 Indiana Avenue After Using UNIVERSAL NEWS OF THE COLLEGE SPORTING WORLD FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE LOCAL WINDS THERE ACCEQUATE UP TO THE FINALITE RUBE FOSTER INVADES KENTUCKY-WILL ESTABLISH THE MOWAKS IN LOUISVILLE—THE PREMIER'S BASEBALL METHODS TO BE INTRODUCED QUEENSBURY CODE. (By Billy Lewis.) Rube Foster, the head of the American Giants, of Chicago, threatens to blossom into a dynasty. Long since he has ball player of the country, he comes on as the premier distinction. And that is not froth, either. Amstel got the best aggregation of colored players in the games she answered in the games she schedled a little tough, Rube, himself, mounts the sturgeous pitcher to victory; all around, pitcher he is proud baseball age. He is喜 up in the years. Louisville has been getting slow on the baseball proposition for the past two or three years, or the other clubs are coming up. Foster knows that are coming up. Louisville should be a good baseball्s club for as patronage goes. And own so far as patronage means there is a good patronage means there must be a good club. The A. B. C.'s, of the American League, are a splendid example. Indianapolis, are also splendid examples of how a club advertises the game and of how a club is the manager's pockets. The Louisville club management apparently have been handicapped by something that cannot be made out at the distance, or else they felt that the thing of baseball was not the thing of baseball. In a city it is a trifling occupation, yet the interest in it, both financial and from the amusement, financials makes baseball a serious viewpoints to think about. It is a something to think about. It is a game that is in demand. It will be many years before it becomes worn and obsolete, if ever it does. Of course there is a possibility in the very far distant future of the game becoming distant, fat and unprofitable" just as the game of the ancients are now with us. The revival of the games of the Olympias plains under the name of the Olympics is a reminder of the games of other days. A few yet survive, but they are perilous, weak, having no great hold on the people of these find-de-secle times. The Baseball promises to stay with its name, a newer place in the business, the land and a new notion are obsessed. So Mr. Rube is wise in getting about, build up the baseball clubs and baseball pat- . . . It is only a question of time when there will be a wheel of great negro clubs. We, the negroes, have about 100 teams play among ourselves. Now and then games will be played with white teams, but the games, the games will be played with negro players and before zero audiences. Both players and audiences will be coming up with a worth of big club building up with a splendid big town with a splendid bunch of colored folks, and who have the fine old Kentucky sponging blood of a big club playing is brought out in their community they will know and support the team. The Tune Foster is proving at Chicago. As the A. B. C. S., of Indianapolis are proving and those visiting teams are growing from time to time. Here is not only pay—good pay for the players, but good travel, fine sight-seeing and interesting new experiences are supported in becoming style. Oh, yes, it is a serious business. If we view it from the pleasure and profit are practically limited. Those world tours; playing ball in Egypt in the shadow of the Egyptian frenewing ordinance of Gibraltar, along shore of that "middle sea which grams with memories" (George Ellot) and where civilization was wasted, was played by a member of the two final competing teams as it is much distinction as it was at its best. America's best game, be played by the best teams, and by the best players of those teams. Oh, baseball business is a great business. --- Rube Foster and baseball are synonymous; they are the same things. He has played for the baseball team. He has developed many men into the most players. His men, a number of them, are computerized with some of the most elite clubs that have paid him and his men the finest, compliment. They have admitted that color and personality keep a numbed man out of the league of white players. With this splendid personality, and splendid reputation, which will bring up the town, Mr. Foster will take the Mohawk Glants, the White Sox of the Louisville, will erect out of the two kind of team he has in mind. It is thought that this will be the best team from both teams. After this they will be under the supervision of Louisville fraternity for that purpose. Won Louisville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati, the cities, the dream of the future, when perhaps a half dozen cities will be inked is beginning to take form. Mr. Kirk has have associated with him Mr. Dickens, now manager of the White Sox. 7. 8 Andrews, the expert on pugil- tism, recently had the following con- ference. The Queensberry code. There are two boxes that low boxers ever live up to, and that is in regard to conduct after that down an opponent. The rule states that low boxers be knocked down the other shall retire to his corner, and if the down happens to occur in that boxer's corner, the referee who is counting the moment the man on the mat take the moment the man on the mat this thing happened in one of the previous boots at Hudson, Wis., last week when the referee Tillman contest was held. The bout was between two welterweight boxers. The referee scored a clean knockdown. The man pushes the man away so that he was bet- to count over the fallen man. In the bout the referee, who knew better of the boxer's corner. The thing happens at every boxing show where a knocked down is scored. It is up to the promoters and the referee that the referees are thoroughly worn on this point and have them covering it. There is no reason why a裁判 to stand over a man who is knocked down in order to gain an advantage. MIXUP ON FLOOR IN DILLON. BROWN SCRAP. SOCIAL TWICE Roll Through the Ropes — Police Prevent Riot in Ring. TERRE HAUTTE, Ind., July 22—Jack Dillon, the best posseber, Beacur, in bed up to that name in every way, in ten- round bout, with George Cook, baseball player at the Central League baseball park by a lightning finish in the ninth and the rounds, when it appeared that he was to score a knockout. Dillon pushed that to score a knockout. He Greek showed a willful, and played a strong game of give and take. The fight took a very bad aspect in second round, when all signs of beating the lost sight of for about the last minute of the round, and the boxers wrestled about half of the time while they were on the floor. The fight took through the ropes, adding on to each of the rounds, until the end of the round, and when the policemen appeared in the ring it went to the bout manager well as his followers were angered by the first followers were bullied as was the second because necessary for overweight, and because force. Brown's manager from the ring went third round was angered enough, since seconds and backers of both men were ing to climb through the ropes nearly up to the time, and again the police were called time, and Tommy Dillon did his part nobly, but Tommy Dillon did check the boxes. That round ended the box, and from then on the bout was as pre- tent, and from then on the most exacting fight fan could ask for. Cry for Knockout. Dillon must be given all of the credit for putting up put, and the same can be said of Brent. The parents apparently grew stronger as the rounds passed on, and by the time the tenth round arrived the fans were crying and the bout with a knockout blow. While the Greek put up a game fight at the through, there was only one round which he won. He was his. In the sixth he bored in on Dillon and landed a beautiful right uppercut, followed by a left cross to the point of the shoulder. He hit the cover and stay there during the last half of the round, and was given a great round of applause at the conclusion. He said the fact that the crowd was with Dillon. In the preliminary, Sammy Trot, said to be the rightweight champion of Ohio, battled with Dawdar with Eddie Hart, a local product. Bud Pirrell, of Terre Haute, and Tennille James, went six rounds to a win. The team won more than three thousand people saw the fights, included in that number a Uniformed Rank, Knights of Python, here for the biennial encampment. IN SPORTING CIRCLES At the intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson river a few days ago the flowers of the University of Pennsylvania States met in the twentieth annual body race. In the contest were picked representatives of Cornell, Columbia, Penn State, and Wisconsin Universities, all primed to do their best work. The colleges of Penn State and Wisconsin, in any arena of activity, was creditable for resented at this national classic by Mr. Joseph E. Trigg, of Washington, D.C. being in recent years the only colored member of the big college crew of historic excuse University, winning his laurels in the keenest competition that American youth can put up. BOSTON, Mass—Henry Sullivan, of Lowell, an amateur long distance swimmer, who last year made an unsuccessful channel sailed for England last week to make another attempt. Last year Sullivan was in the water ten miles from the cross seas, and was forced to give up a few miles from the French shore, for constant training for several months. LONDON.—A slow-moving movie film has settled the question at issue in the recent Smith-Carpenter fight. Pictures of the fight show clearly that Gunboat was on his feet in the fourth round on the side of the head twice while the latter was kneeling. The film shows Smith in slow, which glanced off the Frenchman's shoulder, while the latter was falling. mg. Matt Wells, the former British lightweight, who lost his crown to Freddie Johnson, the ten-time championship of the world. Wells returned recently to England from Australia and issued a challenge to the ten-time championship offers to back himself from $1,000 to $5,000 a side. While in Australia Wells defeated Ray Bronson, who laid claim to the record made by Tom McCormick, who twice defeated Johnny Summers, holder of the record made by the championship. Considering the record made by Wells and his offer to back it up in a substantial way, there is no reason to believe the real title holder in so far as Europe and Australia are concerned. If there is any man in America who can have a crack at the world's title by getting in touch with Mr. Wells, he can have a crack at the world's title by getting in touch with Mr. Wells. Gunboat Smith and Carpenter were recently paid over, Carpenter receiving a check for $15,000, while Buckley received a check for his behalf of Smith, who was not present. SYDNEY, New South Wales, July 20.—Eddie McGourty, the middleweight pugilist, who is now here, has received a medal from the Club of London of $10,000 and expenses if he will fight Carpentier in London. McGourty has cabled his acceptance and is confident of being able to defeat the French. BORDEAU, July 18.—George Carpentier, the heavyweight champion, today won the decision over Kid Jackson in the fourth round of a boxing match. Jackson was disqualified for fouling. LONDON, July 20.—That the Jack Johnson-Sam Langford battle scheduled or not been, he said, make if the present arrangements go through, is the firm belief of William H. Roach, one of the leading writers in this city. The writer says both colored fighters should be allowed to and that the coming match may be their valedictory. RING BATTLES DO NOT DRAW BIG BIG ANY MORE. By Frank C. Menke. Championship ring battles aren't drawing as large gates as they used to in the old days. The younger generation had a $55,000 gate at the recent Jack Johnson-Frank Moran fight in Paris was a rather sizeable one, but it was nothing to get excited about. The younger generation that this was a championship battle and that it was staged in a country that was viewing a heavyweight championship fight The Jeffries-Johnson fight in Reno on July 4, 1910, drew the biggest gate in history—$270,000, not including the money which is said to have been something like $55,000. Of this amount Jeffries got $111,000 and Johnson about $100,000. and Kid McCoy staged a five-round scrap in Madison Square Garden many years ago and the gate amounted to nearly $57,000. Corbett and he saw a $63,340 gate when they met in San Francisco in 1903 in their second battle. The Sharkey-Jeffries fight staged in Coney Island in 1898, and which Jeffries Fitzsimmons, wonderful fighter that he was, never drew well. The biggest difference was a trifle over $40,000—the fight with Jem Hall in New Orleans. It has been said that Fitz never got his share of this gatechase that he fought for almighty. The Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight in Carson City,卷子 away from "Gentleman Jim," drew only $22,000. Fitz got less than $5,000 as his share. Fitz and Sharkey drew $18,000 when which Fitz lost on a foul. Jeffries and Gus Ruhlin drew over $30,000 when they battled in the same town a short Nelson and Gans Drew Big Gate. The Joe Geldain-Battling Nelson bout in Goldfield, Nev. in lightweight battles in lightweight battles. The Nelson-Jimmy Britt fight at Colma, Cal., drew $4,311, another huge figure for a lightweight fight, and one hasn't been approachable years. Jimmy Coffey, with the "Dublin Giant," wore a jersey with Jack Johnson. Coffey came from Ireland to New York some years ago, became a subway guard, took his train and then took up the fighting game under the teaching of Mike Donovan, the old middleweight winner. Coffey, in the opinions of those who have seen him in his New York bouts, with Johnson. Coffey has quite a punch, is finely built, and has a lot of courage, but he isn't a boxer by any means, he is said that Richard Croker, the THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER old Tammany Hall leader, has agreed to back Coffey to the extent of $10,000 if the fight is staged in Ireland. Coffey's manager, Billy Gibson, is spending quite a bit of money cabling defa to Johnson. Scrap in Paris May Clear Skies. The Johnson-Langford scrap that is to be staged in London in October ought to clear the pugillistic atmosphere somewhat. For about four years Langford has been shouting for a chance at Johnson and declaring it would be a cinch for him to whip the "big smoke." Johnson has retaliated with remarks about "go get a reputation; you ain't in mah class." There has been bitter enmity between the two negro heavyweights for many years and pugillistic experts predict that if the fight is staged it really will be a fight—and to the bitter finish. George Chip's knockout victory over Billy Murray, of California, about ten days ago puts Chip back near the top of the middleweight division again. Chip held the lightweight crown until Al McCoy, regarded as the yellowest sort of a lemon, came along and unhooked a punch that landed upon Chip's jaw and sent him down and out. Those who have seen both Chip and McCoy have been told that they will then declare that Chip is a far better boxer and hitter than McCoy and that they meet again there will be nothing more to prove against McCoy against Murray in two bouts in New York and the opinion of the boxing fans was that Murray outpointed McCoy on the first day of the tournament. And then Chip came along and knocked out Murray, after having him helpless almost from the start of the game. LITTLE ARTHUR STIGAL LAYS THAT HE DID NOT JACKIE MOORE Sporting Editor The Freeman: Dear Shr-I recently read the record of the 1913 heavyweight champion, and wish to say that he a knockout over Jackie in a battle that was not a fight of 1913. I do not consider it sportsmanl- like for Mr. Moore to omit his defeat, although he fought a man in the light- weight title. I do not consider loved lightweight title and I am open to defend it against any colored boy world at 135-140 pounds, $100 side bet. Little Arthur has an interesting career, men of all classes, white and colored, on both sides of the Mississippi. He played for Kansas City, Mo. Never was knocked out. Photo appeared in Police Gale. He was a member of Had as manager and trained, E. C. McGruder and J. W. Swift, who managed the team, the time he knocked out Jack Johnson. He has knocked out such men as Curley Bayliss, lightweight champion of Tulsa, Okla.; Kid Jones, star of Kansas City, Kan.; Jilo, Southern whirlwind, of South Coffeeville, Okla.; Kid Datche, of Omaha, Neb., protege of Professor Zimmerman; Guy Farrel, Independence middleweight, and Danny Daniels, of Bartlesville, Okla., both in one night in the same ring in less than four rounds. He has outpointed Curly Marlowe, of Oil City, Pa.; Kid Bailey, welterweight champion, Dayton, Ohio; Kid Defenbaugh, who drew with Cyclone Johnny Thompson; Young Toga, whom Battling Nelson beat at Fort Smith, Ark.; Kid Gorman, the Vanita hope. He has been sidestepped by Battling Nelson, Harry Donahue, Jimmy Evans, Bull Maroll, Kenny Woods, Frankie Manilla, Jake Barado, Tommy Dixon and Dennis Magirl. In private he beat Kid Shoemaker, pride of Peoria, Ill., in one round, and drew with Harry Donahue, of Pekin, Ill., who stayed ten rounds with Packy McFarland. He also knocked out Jackle Moore in five rounds, on February 12, 1913, at Dayton, Ohio. He issues an open challenge to the world. His address is 418 South Third street. Independence. Kansas. SOME TIGERS DOWN IN LOUIS IANA. The N. O. Bae Ball Club Met Some of Them; It Ate the Most of Them. The New Orleans Greenville Baseball Club is just back from a pleasant road trip.

Hoping you will give this space in your paper, remember MEAHAN IS WINNER IN MARA THON SWIM. Boston Boy Negotiates 20 Miles in 7 Old Man. Pick Up. Gate. Ejua. Fijua. NEW YORK.—Three Boston men today won the special silver trophies offered by the New York Tribune for the amateur marathon swimming race from the lower end of Manhattan to Sandy Hook, an estimated distance of twenty-two miles. The race was won by George R. Mehan of Boston, the amateur three-mile champion of New England, who made the journey in the excellent time of seven hours eighteen minutes. The officials of the race declared this time to be a record. Samuel Richards and Walter Dunn, both of Boston, finished second and third, their respective times being 8:19 and 8:19:20. Charles Durborough of Philadelphia was fourth in 8:46. These four were the only men out of thirty who started at 4:45 o'clock this morning to finish. Fred H. James of this city, a fifty-year veteran, made a stubborn effort to finish, but he had to be picked out of the water when within 1,000 yards of the goal. He had been in the water for seven hours and twenty minutes and was ahead of all the other contestants except Mehan, the winner. The event was under the auspices of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States. KID FIELDS' LETTERS. The Jackie Moore Championship— Boxing Slack Champion of the Colored Boxing I see in your paper that Jackie Moore and his manager are claiming the featherweight championship of the Moose. He has not beaten me yet. He has had a chance to fight me several times and did not accept. I do not claim to be something and then pick out my man, Jackie Moore. I do not claim my weight, and Jackie must knock me out to sustain his claims. I will box him in St Louis Labor, say, any day. I will be seen, they drew 3,000 people in Kansas City to a show. If such is the case, and Mr. Bean will guarantee me 2,500 people, I will be a percentage basis. Now if Mr. Bean and Jackie wants to box some one try me for the title. Yours truly, Kilda Fields, Champion Feather of the World. In looking through the sporting columns of your paper I do not see where there is any boxing going on in the country, but I hope it will revive soon after the sultry season is over. I have picked up a new boy. I am going to use him as my sparing partner. He will be the best teammate and match him with O. R. Bess out at the Northwestern ball park Labor Day. I will match him with Bess for a ten week course in any way. I think he can beat Bess and he is willing to do as I say. He is a featherweight boxer and by good handling I think he will be hard to beat. he makes me step in my workouts. This is the best of West Baden any time. Yours truly, Kid Fields, manager, 212 So. Ill. St., Indianapolis, Ind. I also wish to answer one Lean Jones of Oklahoma City. If the gent will help me with business plops up I will take care of the gent nicely. This is going to be the busiest winter I have had in a career. I will be running there now and the next think the light and dark will mix again in those large events in all classes.

Minor and Minor and Coleman and Ruby presented an act that was full of wit and humor—was a hit. Coleman will be remembered as the man who wrote "If Luck Don't Change There's Going to Be Some Stealing Done." Perry Bradford cleverly said, "I am going to be the long-lucky boy and Bradford, the Long Lanky boy and wife opening, went good. Jim Wise followed. He is some monologist. Jim is just as good as ever—was a hit. Pugh and Pugh certainly brought us some act; was a riot, much better since last seen and keeps on improving. Dime Theater—Boyd and Boyd, as aforesaid, are clever acrobats. Dud, take this act, and bring them East because I have seen them. Billy Zeek and Copeland. This is a very good act and went fine. Here is another one Dud for you. Bring them out of these sticks. There are lots of good finds down here. Last but not least—Dinah Scott, Bessie Smith and Fat Child. I only wish this act would stick together, because it's good. I'm going to be the country, this girl, Bessie Smith, is the best coon shutter ever heard, and Dinah, he is a good dancer and funny Fat Child is the Buzzlin King. There are some good shows here this week. Performer, stop, look, listen! The South is all right, but there are some dirty, evil, miserable things. You know. If you and your partners have an argument they will try to break you all up. I learn that Baby Mack was a hit in Birmingham last week. It's too bad such a clever little girl can't get with some legal advice. But she is said to be the smutty in the business. When we can get to the place that we want to see, it's a foregone conclusion that we can't educate the theater-goers with smutty sayings. This class of performers run down the best houses. Charles Arrant showed me that a man could get by with a degenerate.

Mary Ray Makes Hits—Mrs. Viola Gowdy of Henderson Here on Lit- terary Mission—Press Praises Rube Foster—Big Bazar and Circus. Special to The Freeman. Mary Ray Makes Hits—Dr. A. C. D. Barnes is dead. After a few days illness with diffused peritonitis, he died at St. Luke's hospital. It is said that his case was turned over to a surgeon too late for attended him, he was turned over to Dr. Daniel Hate Williams and was sent to him. He was turned over to far too far gone for an operation. His death was a great shock to this community. Dr. Barnes was thirty-seven years old in the nineteen years in the fifteen years. He was born at Little Rock, Ark, and after finishing the high school of that city, he went to Wilber- ford, where he earned a degree of Bachelor of Science. He then took up the study of dentistry, graduating with hours from the Chicago Dental School, where he began his office, his practice began to grow because of his ability and preparedness. Member of Chicago Dental Association He was an active member of the Chicago Dental Association. Every since his graduation there was never a time that he was absent when the big functions came off and often he was on the program. He was a brilliant and prolific writer. Some of his work attracted international attention. He was the Denis-al Pfeffer of the National Medical Institute for Colored Physicians. He was also one of the founders of the Chicago Dental Club and at the time of his death was president. • • • Trustee of Wilberforce University. Dr. Barnes was a student. Perhaps but few if any of the younger men in this city surpassed him in the fund of knowledge stored in his brain. He was not only a good speaker, but a thinker and much of his thoughts were reduced to writing and in this he excelled Dr. Barnes's work. He was a clever and wife and a young son about three years of age. He owns the home in which he lived at 3239 Vernon avenue, and three acres of lan near Wilberforce university. At a meeting of the Chicago Dental Club on Friday night of last week, Dr. M. A. Major read a set of resolutions which were unanimously adopted. The funeral was held at the time of the centennial. The city which was his heart, was out in large numbers and sent a handsome floral design. The entire city mourns the passing of this noble and brilliant young character. Peace to his ashes. Boat Capsizes. Lieut. Joe Wickliffe, of Fire Company 21, Art Codozoe, Cass Harris and "Shep" Allen, four well known men about town, were out to Washington park on Thursday last week. They decided to take a boat ride in the lagoon. Wickliffe, the heavy man, was doing the rowing. The boat ran up against a snag and turned over. Such scrambling and yelling was never heard in the park. "Help, help, help, life saver, come quick; send the life boat." There was no life boat and each began to tug it away. They finally swam ashore. Grace Presbyterian church was having a picnic there and the shores were crowded with their friends, who watched them as they made to land. They got a good bath on a very hot day, and the fun that they had to walk home with water running from their clothes. "Art" says never again for him. His bath tub at home will do for him hereafter.

Of the fifty-two games that his team has played, six are scored, all. These contests included games against the Portland, Ore, and Spokane, Wash., mines of the Cincinnati and Cincinnati Cubans, one of the leading travel semi-pro teams of the country. In Fosters twenty-two victories he averaged one His team, also, is admitted by many semi-pro officials to be the fastest in the city. Five of the players have been hit by the ball, and three have batted average for any player on the team is .355. The infield, Francis, third base; Monroe, second base; Lloyd, short-stop; Barber, first base—has been thrilling. Monroe, second base, and work at the bat, all of them batting in the .400 class. In all, the American Giants have lost but six contests—five of them to the Cuban Stars and one to the Pittsburgh A. B. C's out of the fifty-two played. Mary Ray Makes a Hit.
