XXVII NUMBER 32 NEWS OF THE I Howard University and Fr Over Liberal Approp LAWYER NUTTER LEADS Johnson Startles the Odd Fellows by “Special Circular” and Declines to Morris Supreme Court Orphans—Bri ing of Mrs. F. J. Grimke—Movemen (By R. W. Thompson.) (Bureau of The Freeman, 1337 Wallach Place, N. W., Washington, D. C.) The officials of the two greatest institutions for racial benefit in this vicinity are jubilant over the liberal approach to the legislative, executive and judicial bills all of which carry in part the allowances of the general government institutions. The outcome represents hard and intelligent work on the part of Peter George, William Cook, of the University on hand, and of Dr. William A. Warhead, surgeon-in-chief of Freedmens Hospital, or in other cases for Howard University amounts to $101,000, the same last year. Nevertheless, a victory that the bill as it left the House, called for a $2,000 cut; but the tireless managerial genius of Howard "got busy" was finally agreed upon in conference passed by the President, the original $2,000 great school. The cost of administering Howard University is upwards of $280,000 per annum. The running from receipts to tuitions, dormitory and boarding fees, interest on a endowment, proceeds from the most rigid economy in expenditures is required to bring the school out on a firm foundation, in view that it always bring an increased income. The value of the Howard University plant is about $130,000 and the faculty numbers 125 The Battles in the Fraternities Wax Warm. The battles for leadership in the two great fraternities that meet this year waize warmer as the crucial moment approaches. In the ranks of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Col. Henry Lincoln Hammond has made immense gains during the past decade, and is admitted to be the favorite outside of the controlled by "administration Indemnity Order of the Three Links" for him, as he is fighting in the open, and, as a believer, to free them from a system that has been designed to yield the best results for the "boys inrenches". Col. Johnson has been in town at the own State of Georgia, which with the three links and delegates in the convention, cannot as a nucleus a strength that cannot be applied to anyone up for any other candidate. Other states are pledged to Johnson under instructions, and they will be on the team to be chosen. He is called. Many delegates are refused to be "delivered" by anyone to a candidate iniding in the bushes. This is the team from the lieutenants of the eleoergian scattered all over the country. Fiting the "Parenteage of the Court" The sensation of the week was the spring after the letter by Col. Johnson, in which he added to the authority of the organization of the Suiward Hill upon Grand Master Edward Hill, and insists that Mr. Moore reap the benefits of the court upon Grand Master Edward Hill, and conversely, that he be made aware of the odium, if any, that may grow upon the Order is called upon to sugee to the "infant", according to the follower of Johnson, does not belong to the Johnson, does not decline to start a home for foundling, and to inferentially assert that the original scheme as to have himself elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and to transact that of the Grand Order scheme miscarrying and the Court unpopular. Col. Johnson shows there is a disposition to abandon the scheme. high tribunal and leave the Justices to the mercy of the mob, after shifting the burden of its conception to whomsoever the suave authority to impose it, theigation of the Grand Master to so change the law of tenure as to render himself eligible for another term is required. A claim will be set up that there having been no election at Atlanta in 1912, the Grand Master now in the chair may be chosen, chosen by elective election, though the first term shall have covered four years. That Astounding "Special Circular." A further sensation that may largely influence the delegates in favor of the Grand Master is that he is showing up by the Johnsonites or "Special Circular" containing propositions of a most "revolutionary type." The Grand Master says that they say at the document each hour, "provides that appeals in the cases against any member of the S. C. M. or against any state must be made and argued, tried and adjudicated, in England. This is regarded as a complete surrender of the sea, and any state can be made to British white men 400 miles across the sea, and an end to the right of the pood Odd Fellow on side of the cause and a finality to account for the enormous expense. The action of Grand Master Morris in putting forth this surprising innovation, following so closely upon the action of the Order and presumably in its interest, has precipitated a condition of affairs that bids fair to call on the expense of the Order and presumably at the B. M. in Boston next month. The situation, impartially analyzed, takes on a tinge that seems decidedly favorable to the election of Col. Johnson. As one well-known Washington journalist, it is amusing to the core! No British Causasiandomination in ours! Where the Elks Stand. The second volume of the "Battle of the Fraternities" treats of the stand of the Fraternity electing a Grand Exalted Ruler at Norfolk, Va., where he 15th annual convention of the 25th of this month. As was said last week, the triumph of G. Gillis Nutter, the present incumbent of the 25th of this month, records, has started a number of important reforms that require time to ensure their full maturity, and his successor, the Order commends him to the same Elk as one who ought to be continued in office. "It is foolish to 'swap' horses while crossing a stream," remarked an Elk ministeration we can do nothing but relect him. If his policies are sound and mother to take his position with policies that are new and untried; if he has done as we have wished, and how can we as sensible men, withhold from him our vote of confidence? Are we going to seek notoriety? Or are we going to establish more firmly the foundation that Mr. Nutter constructive administration? "I feel certain that the strong men of the Order will stand by Mr. Nutter he has set in motion. The Order is especially in need of a capable lawyer to handle cases that involve the life and well-being of the Elk fraternity. He has these thoroughly in hand, and to his we have any standing at court at all. For this and other reasons, I am for Nutter and I predict his triumph not nolly, but they are sincere."

Special to THE PRESS I permit, I could make a long list of the sick, deaths, vacations, visitors, gains and losses, age, also, births, marriages of our people, but this will I hope, come next issue, many cases of the majority of our readers; the first claims to read or know of the doings in their city and refuse to continue the paper; the other says, it is not interesting enough; it does not except it be deemed it is a colored man; it will take it and will not pay for it, and so on. Time will not permit to state their varied reasons, but the majority of these parties are taken from 1 to 4 daily papers and pay attention to those papers they never see a negrro name, sign, etc. Neither do you see the prosperity of the race, a negrro can come up some business and you will never see it in one of those papers, except if it is paid for. He might take a look at the papers he achieves some great victory, it will never come out in those papers except where they see they might sell them. But just partly prove by the law that he is guilty of some low crime, the freeman is one of the greatest papers in the world. My reason for thus saying is when quite a few men have been an established leader because was my leader and instructor and I believe every reader will agree with me. Now that it has been an established leader the acknowledged leader of more than ten thousand negroes, and if Mr. Washington is known, and if Mr. Washington is known, and patronizes the freeman, So I or we, believe the freeman is great and those that fail to do as Washington says. Through all of that ladies and gentlemen also patronize this good paper. Through all of that ladies and gentlemen also patronize this good paper. Others will not even except it, because it is a colored paper.

THOMPSON REPUDIATES FIRST CALL OF PROGRESSIVE PARTY—THE NATIONAL COMMITTEEAM WRATHY OVER THE ACTION OF SUBORDINATES—NEGROES TO BE ADMITTED TO CONVENTIONS WHEN REGULARLY CHOSEN AS DELEGATES. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 22—Mr. J. O. Thompson, national committee man of the Progressive party in the State of Alabama, man of the call issued during his absence from the State by the State Progressive party. Perkins, chairman of the National Progressive Party, of New York, Mr. Thompson writes: "In the case of I was astonished and humiliated at the action of the Progressive committee in this State, selected by our State committee to report to the National Committee, to see that they had provided in the official call that none but white men can be members of the party in This is a step farther in that direction than any Democratic committee or organization can recall. I have an entirely different view of the objects and purposes of the party, and did not catch one of them. I interpreted to mean that we would undertake by party action nolens volens the Federal Constitution. I endured the how anxious we all are to overcome certain prejudices and to build a party in the people in giving expression to Progressive policies, just as we did in helping to restore their rights by overcoming machine government, but when it comes to doing a mean thing for expedienty, I am against such action. The Negro political question is one we can not throw off at will. In fact, the Negro political question has years, yea, for many decades in the future history of this country, but it is a question that all strong men must be fairness and justice to all concerned. It was silly for the special committee to have taken the action they did, and it was silly for the committee would have been a few colored men elected to the convention. They, as a rule, are not in sympathy with us as a leader, and we are among them are enthusiastic about the Colonel. It is not incumbent on the white men to vote for them as delegates, and it was incumbent on the special committee to keep within the bounds of reason and justice to all sections of electorate in calling the convention. In 1910 I was a Republican nominee for Governor of Alabama. I was advertised as adversely as possible by the Democratic party, and I friendly to the Negro, still I received 9,000 more votes (they came from the Democratic party) than the balance of my ticket, and I had not been too friendly to the Negro. Negroes from the church people of the State. The people who have it in mind to oppose the organization of Democracy are not voting to the opposition, so forsook me, cause the opposition is merely treats deciety a section of our people. I am writing you to suggest that you form a committee to define the earliest possible time and definitely define its position on this question so definitely that a foot, though he run the committee, remains silent in this question in the convention provided some decision to advance of our meeting here on August 5. I made a fight in this State on August 5. I made a decision to do so again if necessary, to the point that recognition must be given all sec. 10, the convention, and where, perchance, coerce who is a qualified voter is duly elected a delegate by the Progressive party in the State convention, which shall be seated in the State convention. I know what Colonel Roosevelt's views on this subject are, as expressed in the book, "The Press pressed when he was a Progressive nominee, and his latter position is not in the least inconsistent with his former position, that the average man in politics has not the finesse of judgment or wisdom to handle such delicate questions with the clinical committee has certainly made a mess of it in this State. I have be-ought from time to time not to be so sure that suits could possibly come to the party. I am especially anxious that we elect two members of Congress from this State to come to a ballot box frauds, to fight it out in a contest before Congress. How on earth we hope to seat our candidates by decision by declaring that they could not participate in the councils of our party? I would be glad to have you write me as your earliest convenience on this subway. With kindest personal regards, I am, Most respectfully, J. O. HUMPSON. To those who know Mr. Thompson in this State as the man who broke up the Lily White practices of the Republican party, the above action will not be tolerated. I am also for the cardinal principles of the Republican party and has fought for a square deal for the black man in Alabama, and for the black man in Alabama party, and is doing the same thing now that he is at the head of the Progressive party in Alabama.

A NEW POET. Special to THE FREEMAN. There will be issued from the press of the John C. Winston Company, in a book that will make a double appeal, one for the merit of the poems themselves, and one because of their origin and authorship, which will be the reason they are the work of Adolphus Johnson, a young colored man of Philadelphia, whose work justifies the high merit of the poems he has written it. It is perhaps not too much to say that no verse of equal quality has been written by any memoirist. Dunbar attracted the attention of the literary world. Mr. Johnson writes both in English and dialect, and while he is good in both, there is a simplicity in the earnestness in the latter that is charming. SOMETHING NEW.

State THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER STATE FAIR AND MOTOR CAR SHOW Two Great Expositions to Be Combined This Year. THE FAIR AS AN EDUCATOR Farm People Will Be Inspired to Greater Efforts by What They See and Learn—Each Department Rich In Prizes, the Total Being $71,601. The education of men and women from the farms, inspiring them to greater achievements to the end that Indiana may become more than ever an agricultural and live stock state—this will be the dominating note of the Indiana State Fair, which opens for the 61st exposition on Sept. 7. It was this incentive which led to the founding of the enterprise in 1851, and so rigidly has it been fixed in purpose, the Indiana Fair is now reaching the third generation of Hoosier breeders and tillers of the soil, giving them both instruction and encouragement to push the state forward along farming lines. In the last four years 592,479 people have attended the fair to obtain the inspiration and enjoyment which it offers, and in that time, in addition to the instruction given, the fair has incited farmers and breeders to greater efforts by distributing $194,919.38 in premiums among them. Some Educational Features. The coming fair will be chiefly noted as a source of instruction and inspiration to those who would accomplish more for themselves along agricultural, livestock and allied lines. The fair will not only reveal what individual farmers and breeders are doing, but will have a pronounced flavor of these later days by the greatest show of automobiles that has ever been held in Indiana. In addition to what the fair itself has to offer, the State of Indiana will, through four of its departments, have extensive educational exhibits—in forestry development and preservation, in fire prevention, in farm etymology, in safe-guarding the public from dishonest drugs, adulterated foods, short weight and measures. To make the educational work still more valuable and far reaching, practically the whole force of experts from Purdue University will spend the week at the fair, helping farm people in the solution of their home problems. As an incentive to the farmers and live stock men to send their best products to the fair, that other farmers may see and compare with their own best yields, $71,601 is offered in premiums. In the speed department, in which the development of Indiana trotters and pacers is the leading factor, the purses amount to $30,000, and in the show horse division the prizes are $12,339, over $4,000 going to draft horses, nearly $5,000 to show horses including about $2,000 for the saddle classes. Great Live Stock Shows The Indiana Fair measures up with the great live stock shows of the continent in its cattle, the premiums in this department reaching $12,849, of which $6,360 goes to beef cattle, $4,946 to the dairy breeds and the remainder in special awards. The sheep show will be the most pretentious the fair has ever had, offering $3,218 in premiums, and with a wool exhibit as one of its new and best features. The fair's big swine pens have been greatly improved this summer by cement floors. The prizes amount to $4,200, again assuring that the fair will have a fine exhibit of swine. One of the great poultry shows of the country is given at the Indiana Fair, the prizes, which will bring out a rich exhibition of pure bred birds, amounting to $2,190. The corn show, the displays of grains, seeds, vegetables and root crops from Hoosier soil, will again be a notable one, the prizes amounting to $1,762. In the department of horticulture, with shows of fruits, plants and flowers, bees and honey, as well as table luxuries, the coming fair will have displays of uncommon interest, the department prizes amounting to $2,876. In fine arts, where Indiana women show their skill along many lines, bringing out in rich array the best needlework, pictures and craftsmanship, the awards will reach $1,702. Many Special Attractions. Combined with the educational features of the fair and automobile show, the fair will offer a gala list of special attractions—Natiello's band and singing quartet; Amedio, the plano-accordion player; fresh vaudeville bills, lavish parades of live stock; midway carnival shows, ending each day with a night horse show of splendor in the coliseum. A notable list of eminent authori ties on livestock and farm products make up the list of judges who will award the prizes at the state fair. Many thousand people, especially from farms and small towns, went to the state fair in their autos last fall, and still greater numbers of these cars are expected at the coming fair, for these visitors will control their own transportation. An immense amount of free parking space will be provided for these autos at the next fair, and the cars will also be admitted at the gates free.

Sunny weather kept the crowd at bay. Five thousand people were present in the afternoon to witness the dress parade. People came on in automobiles and were dressed in the greatest crowd since the organization has been coming to this camp. The parade was held in the city, which are said to be the best parade field in the country. The First Battalion was under Major R. R. Jackson. The second group was under the Third under Major C. L. Runt. After the dress parade, which was the feature of the fife and drum program, Colonel Duncan and his quarters and received congratulations from his many friends. This was his hat, that he has been to camp as colonel, having been elected January 12, 1914. Col. Franklin A. Denison. Colonel Denison is one of the most prominent men of the race. He was born in the State of Texas and received his college education at Lincoln University from Union College of Law in Chicago in 1890, and was valedictorian or his class. In 1881 he was appointed assistant prosecuting attorney of Chicago and was appointed by Mayor Hopkins, Swift and Itaer made chief assistant. Serviced in Spanish-American War served in Spanish-American war. He was major o. of the naval station in the South American War, and appointed inheritance tax collector and appointed president of the court of claims by General Lawton. He was elected colonel of the regiment on January 12, 1914. Colonel Denison presided the convention of 1886, when William McKinley and James Sherman were nominated for offices of president and vice-president of the United States by Course of Instruction. The regiment this year is under a course of military instruction of Colonel John M. Cox and Colonel Muir. The regiment was mustered on lion on Sunday afternoon. Sunday night there was a band concert titled "Bill" Berry directing. The program March—"Forest King —Peters Overture —"Barber of Seville —Rossini Waltz —"Dream of Leaven" —W. Bauer Medley Overture —"Oberon" C. M. Von Weber Waltz—"Gene," from Soul Kiss..... M. Levi Imaginary War. The work at the camp this year differs from that of proceedings years earlier, in that the expedition had had tactical work under the supervise of officers of the National Guard, but this was not a field service, carrying on an imaginary warfare in the field as in the enemy's countryside, in the service of the War Department. The result will be that the men and officers will be prepared to protect themselves from the enemy. The instructions given by Col. Earth and Col. Muir will greatly improve the instructions up to a higher standard of efficiency. Ride Range. The Rev. Bradden Preached Sunday. Said the Rev. Bradden: "Comrades, 'tis indeed a pleasure to stand before you at this time and watch you have been coming to camp with you for twelve years, marching with you in the ranks, eating and sleeting, and chapain; but you will find me the same man that shared your joys and sorrows. When was in his no concession, he made me in his attitude toward you. When you return home, some one asks you what text you wrote for the 14th chap, and 5th verse: 'Wanted, A Man.' That which was so hard to find in the perial town, you find in our cities, villages and towns. Sodom and Gomar are cited as seething castles because numerous persons were not there, but what of the Eternal City of Jerusalem, wherein not one man could be found, and had bit hard, and was headed to the bottom. She had neglected herself, her neighbor and her God, and allowed her cities, and had bit hard, because of which declared he would utterly destroy the City of David. But Jeremiah depleated with God to spar, and when he declared him by saying, 'Run ye to and fro and see if you can find a man in Jerusalem, and if you can, then, he will declare him of Jerusalem. Now what is true of Jerusalem was true of every town throughout Palestine region; Chicago is more than Springfield, Quincy or Peoria. Cities rule the world. Paris spells France; London means Paris. The philosophies of all ages and generations have man creations; man history. Are seething manure masculine no more manhood than the appearance of fa swallow constitutes spring.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1914. The Hague people ought to get busy right along in here. Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just—Shakespeare.

The city council has voted to annex Beech Grove over the veto of Mayor Bell. That body answered the charge of additional expense by killing a committee report favorable to a $100,000 bond issuance for building engine houses. An additional $12,000 for other purposes was also cut. There seems to have been a bit of feeling exhibited. The Negro physicians, dentists and pharmacists of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana will meet in Indianapolis September 7-9. A tri-state association has announced, including the above-named states. Surgical clinics will be a feature of the meeting. The famous Dr. D. H. Williams of Chicago, surgeon, will direct this phase at the Lincoln Hospital. There will also be social functions in keeping with the occasion. The National Negro Business League and Negro Press Association meet at Muskogee, Okla., this month, August 19-22. The meetings are looked forward to with great expectation. The Business League meeting promises to be the most interesting and the largest in the history of the association. This is because of the great and varied business interests among the Negroes of the section. The dense population is also in the interest of a good, successful meeting. What can Germany hope for in the struggle against so many great powers? Wounded honor does not count the size or number of the foes, true enough, but that country has plainly been the aggressor. The world knows nothing about the ancient quarrels and the slumbering feelings. The world sees Germany striking right and left as if in a blind passion. That country has no hope against the combination against her unless it sends forth a genius out of the tumult of affairs as France sent Napoleon. It is scarcely probable that his likes will be seen again. President Wilson has issued a proclamation of neutrality to the citizens of the United States. It is seen that he deeply regrets the great war which is involving the whole of Europe. He wishes that we keep our sanity on this side of the great divide in consonance with the heart's desire of our countrymen. It may mean much to the world that we keep our serenity, the even tenor of our way. It may be that when these warring nations are united and of stressful war they may wish to a mediation that is unsullied and free of contamination. If so, they can look to the United States, and its President, who means the very best at conserving the peace of the world HORRID WAR. War at this age, when there is such destructive instruments, is doubly cruel. When at the our normal selves, uninfluenced by the patriot's passion, we have great concern for the death of even one person if it comes in a frightful way. Now comes the talk of war, and by some process we move out of that normal state, where we saw the killing of a single individual as something dreadful, and to where we see, or learn, of thousands slain without being any worse for the experience. Notwithstanding our translated feelings, war is a very cruel thing. Because we view the thousands slain calmly, or read of them, it is no less cruel. And as cruel as we may think war to be, it is beyond the possible experience of one person to know it as it is. The soldier who is taking a part in a battle sees war only as it rages about his little horizon. It is full of honor, true enough, but there are many more horizons, and equally as full, and which he knows nothing about. And so the General Sherman came nearest to it as it concerns the sense of the thing when he said, "War is hell." And to think we are having this hell by the very nations which have set themselves up as exemplars, teaching the barbarian manners and morals. And according to the judgment of even the ordinary, the present great war is wholly uncalled for. The great powers, especially Germany, have shown utter contempt for any policy of pacification. She scorns the very name of the Hague as something childish and unworthy in view of the opportunity for the clashing of war gods. In the wake of Germany's glorification of war, we have followed thick and far, until the whole world seems disturbed. It is all greatly to be deplored. The innocent ones, it seems, should have some voice in protesting against their proposed slaughtering. The swine, the cattle, the "insensate" things, that mount their scaffolds are denied both conscience and consciousness at their taking off. God, who ordered this, showed his Godhood in this matter. Man, who has been left to order his own fate, among his infinitely higher self, than hops or bulls, sends his own kind shrieking to death with conscience and consciousness, oftimes the victim clining to his neck for mercy, which at another time could have been had without the asking. Man, when translated to that other self, your name is monster! Some one remarked that it looked as if America were dedicated to peace. It is to be hoped that this is true. And it will be true, not by any knowledge or prearrangement, the divine right of "rulership" and the rest of it. If we are fairly safe from war it is because we choose those who are to stand at the head of affairs. We choose them because of what they stand for. We know them from birth up, and even then if there is tendency to radicalism we have checks and stays in other men, in other positions, and who are as carefully chosen, and for the purpose of holding the departments of government true to their purposes. PARIS, August 5—Jack Johnson, French citizen, wants to emulate the example of his rival forATIC honors, Georges Capenier, and join the French army. Johnson is not yet a full-fledged French citizen, although he has taken out preliminary citizenship papers, and is, therefore, not required to answer to the colors. Johnson has already offered to the government his six automobiles. We wish Johnson success and prosperity in all of his undertakings, but we think he has too many automobiles, if he is correctly reported. EIGHTH REGIMENT HAS GROUND BROKEN FOR NEW ARMORY- NEW SONG OUT- MISTREL BIG HIT AT THE GRAND- PETER JONES MOVING PICTURES TO BE SEEN ALONG THE STROLL. The Second Battalion The second battalion under Major Otis B. Duncan was the recipient of many compliments by the Governor and Major Duncan, and the Major Duncan's quarters were always crowded after the dress parade and hundreds of people were shown extreme courtesies on the part of the battalion offensively. The state paid their respects to Major Duncan and the Freeman correspondent had the honor of being entertained at dinner, by him. A biography of each man being prepared by the 'war correspondent'. New Song Out. The new song, "Bleeding Heart" by Miss Henrietta Terrella, 3154 Wabash avenue and arranged by Mr. William Dorsey, the singer and from the press. The song is destined to be the hit of the season. It has been sung with great success by Madame Dorsey and has become popular at the ery start. The words, the music, and every one that has a voice or can hum is singing "Bleeding Heart". This is the first song of Miss Terrell and judging from the ability she has, the song will follow that will make her one of the most popular musical writers of the day. Double Header Next Sunday. There will be a double header next Sunday at the American Giants at the West End and the winner will play the Japanese University team. Mr. Foster has succeeded in playing the most important of the season. The Japan team played the White Sox on the World's tour. Everybody is getting ready to see this wonderful team. Box seats are now available. Miss Alice Simms Here With Miss Miss Alice Simms, of St. Louis, Mo. is in the city stopping with Miss Barber, of Denver, Col. of St. Louis, Mo. and have been at an Eastern University taking a special teacher's course. All Star Minstrels It has been our good fortune to see a number of minstrels but the one at the Grand Hotel in late week. A packed house greeted the stars. Such talent as Matt Marshall, Joe Sims, Peck Hill, Tom Cross, George Hall, Ed Peyton, Walker Thompson. To say that the show was grand, glorious, pleasing, entertaining, humorous and hilarious, putting the finishing touch from finish. The singing especially by Geo C. Hall, Ed Goodbar and Ollie Powers was great and the audience cutical one, showed great enthusiasm. The plauses. Joe Sims, Matt Marshall and Tom Cross were more than funny—they were a knock out. The orchestra was augmented by the band directed by Prof. Dave Peyton, who wrote the ensembles, and arranged the numbers. Prof. Peyton deserved the accolades, the goers such a fine show. It was a change from the routine of vaudeville numbers. Judging from the crowd that packed the house Money and the rest of the entire week will bring larger crowds. 8th Regiment Moving Picture. The moving pictures which were taken at Camp Lincoln, Springfield, Ill., last week, the scenery by Alfred Anderson and personally handled by A.

Ill. 8 (Special)—It was a hot day, one of the hottest days this city has witnessed for many a day, but this did not keep the fans away. The crowd was packed Sunday. The big attraction was the Chippewa Indians. They had their band and wasted a lot of time and much of their money, pitched a good game and was ably supported. The Indians got nine hits off Negake, the Indian pitcher. Gans struck out four men while Negake got six. Negake and Jenkins got hits except Gans and Jenkins. Negake was very poorly supported.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-In a game featured by plenty of free hitting the Chippewa Indians were sent to the tall and slender Springfield, 15th-ranked Sunday, Rube Foster White, White Sox win combat 18 to 8. The only feature of the game was a great one-handed stop made out of ooberry, the Indians, in the initial outburst, the White Sox sure home run. He received great applause from the crowd which was one of the largest that has ever turned out Louisville. Manager Foster pitched in the game for the White Sox and while he was touched up pretty freely he did not extend himself only at times.

CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE DOPE. (By W. H. S.) NASHVILLE, Tenn.—(Special)—The clubs of the Capital City League are now turning the three-quarter post on vane still holding with 9 games won and 2 lost. The Athletics are swinging on their coats, one game behind. The Swift Varsity, M.C. with 2 losses, follow in the order given. The clubs have only four more games to play with each other and most of these will be played in the final round. The Black Sox, the league leaders, have played consistent ball all the season, while the fast Athletics have at least two games ahead to win with interest in the final game between these two clubs and the penant will possibly hang on the decision. The defeated Athletics in their last fray will be matched by 2 score. The champions of last year will certainly come back with vim and determination and another hard battle will be played at Athletic Park Monday, August 17. The other clubs have not played the brand given the fans last season. The Swift team won the title of the national pastime. The surprise of all fandom has been the miserable showing made by the A. M. E. club. The team played all of last season and were well night unstoppable. Like the Philies of the National League, they drive out home and win. All of their games and then lose. One notable instance of this club's hard luck is the game played with the Y. M. C. A. club. The team played to 0 in the eighth inning. The A. M. E. came in in their half and hit the ball all over Fisk campus piling up 13 runs. The team was running being off at the plate when Britton was thrown out. They lost. But such is base ball.

The pleasant little play house on Twelfth avenue, Nashville, has rapidly grown to a leading colored theater of Nashville. The week of July 27 witnessed one of the best shows the town has ever seen, and it was the one we see here. When the curtain rose there was not even standing room and about two hundred people were turned away. The engagement of "Slim" Bradford, who is Nashville's greatest favorite. He returned after an absence of two weeks, and that he was a riot. His dainty little wife is working with him, and believe me, she is a St. Augustine, Fla., and was well known to members of the profession before she married Mr. Bradford. He was here for five weeks, after which they go to fill engagements in the north and west. Other acts on the bill were played by the young, playing a return engagement here, clearly demonstrated that they are immensely liked by Nashville theater. It is probably the cleverest colored child on the American stage, while the two older members of the act more than Lewis Picks, who are new to Nashville pa- DRAKE & WALKER TRIO A REAL BOX OFFICE ATTRACTION H.

The female impersonator of the theater tated a small riot when he removed his wig and the kid that sings was comical to the audience to several encores. They left the house screaming for more. The last act was a very fierce comedy entitled "The Neighbor Who that brought howls of laughter from the delighted audience at the funny show," and "The Neighbor Jordan, Annie St. Claire and Quaker Jordan capably played their parts, and the neighbor also scored strongly. The large audience went away with broad smiles on their faces, and they agreed that the Twelfth Avenue theatre has the one best house in Nashville. The genial manager, Mr. E. S. Pinckard, is sparing no effort to best talent in the profession, and he brings from all the good acts at all times. And believe me, the ghost sure is healthy. HIGH OLD TIME AT THE CROWN GARDEN THEATRE H. D. Hudley and "Patrick" and Other Star Attendance Houses and Everybody Happy Everybody happy at the Crown Garden this week. Tim E. Owley, proprietor, is supremely happy over his big success. He is a man of integrity and financially. Had something of a theatrical revival this week; standing room only. A good show all right from S. H. Dudley and Patrick, His Mule. Dudley has been the talk of weeks at this theater, also his Mule, Patrick which won fairly equal fame in those well known tours of the famous ours on the set of a few years-ago. Patrick is doolity. He should hear Dudley talking to him he would think that he was the most obstreperous of the show, imaginable. Patrick takes his lectures most quietly, reminding one of the famous Mrs. Caule in her picture of the husband, who was too in to respond. Dudley succeeds in getting off a splendid monologue at Patrick's expense. He has on the advantage of being the first giggly funny. He knows just what to say and just how to say it. He has a fine sense of humor—the key to his suc- He calls his mule a long headed hound in the right place and in the right tone of voice. It is funny. It is the same voice he used with his job. He said that those only kept their jobs who were deceitful with the boss. He always said, "Good morning, boss" to his employer, and on pay day he would say, "Cain's cap." Patrick was all right in the winter, but no earthly account in the summer. He was a lamb in the winter, but a tiger cat in the summer. Patrick was a mow hay. Dudley told Patrick of his S. H. DUDLEY family, knowledge which did not appear in an uproar, throughout the numbers. When Patrick made his exit Dudley was still at home in the monologue business. He was in the Pecas, Texas old home, with the Smart Set. He got in a good one on the colored folk album, with the Smart Set. Most of them select New York as their place of birth. He was proud to say that he would try to manage to always stay in New York. His street car gag was good. The audience had a "hit" about it. There are different lines, than Dudley. There are different lines, of course. But of his own line he is the very Cap n' boss. He is the best of them. Speak Well of Brother. Johnson. Say Nothing at All." His steps were peculiar. He was a Pecas. Have to give it to him. he is still it. Scott and Simmona, High Class Vocalists Massengale and Crosby, Singing, Talking, Dancing This pair has a number one, good act, Harry Massengale is one of the best comedians in the world, but bitty in what he does. He makes no effort, it appears, to be funny, but he makes it. He is a representative of the droll phase of comedianism. Miss Crosby does good straight and seems to enjoy what she does, but she doesn't enjoy of background for Massengale's comedy. Their line of talk gets no matter what, and even if you don't want to. The "Lot's wife" joke has been told before, but you haven't heard unless you have heard, but you'll tell a joke. He turns everything to gold that he touches. Miss Crosby sings "Chattanooga," extraordinarily funny, the boys are down that way. The in WASHINGTON, D.C. vitation is seriously taken under consideration, one would think. She is beautiful, graceful and tautizes with a bit of blush. Her Massangeau is there with his trumpet. When he puts on some "Blues" they put for more. The two do a nice instrument, the comet. Pamplin, Demon of the topiester, Master Mind of Ambidextrous. Pamplin appears a very demier right in manipulating his stunts. A balancer stands right up with the back of his glinging turn, keeping time while the chestra plays an old stirring war song. She is likely plaued. Balancing balls on a cue was also good. His very stirring stunts were those with the bricks which did not glide. Pamplin is a dame able to do many difficult appearances. His steel ball and pole stunts were the punch of the gun with the glue. He creates remarkable movements which excite hearty applains. He gives a good entertainment all the time. He comes on made up as his astute majesty often is pictured, or Pluto or some of the others, and gains attention to his lives up to appearance. BILLY LEWIS CHAMPION THEATER, BIRMING HAM, ALA.

Jeff Mackey, who has been on the side of the company for Washington, D. C. on Monday last from Fort Kent, Me. Jeff was well liked by the members of the band as he has been under the management of the company, and bert for the last fifteen years, and the company wishes him a speedy recovery. Mr. W. H. McFarland, who is managing the colored boys in every particular, and has the proud distinction of being the first man to put a colored minstrel on a side show and has employed some of the defining roles of the colored boys in the business today, and is fruitfully assisted in cutting out the segregation idea, though some of the colored boys in the aggregation last season acted so badly that the management had decided not to have any more female performers in these performers act and carry themselves so as not to reflect discredit upon the other members of the company who try to carry themselves in a white contigual to the respect of the white contingual. It is rumored that Mr. W. H. McFarland will take out a minstrel show to take my tip and keep performers should take my tip and keep performers should the gentleman who has and will open avenues for colored performers who he finds worthy of his support.

The dearth of road shows made it difficult for Vaudeville served him a good turn. He attended a school in existence, giving work to many army of colored vaudevillians. True rooms and houses were rented, store rooms, and most of them were used, but they served a good purpose. Now we are coming to the bright rift of the theatrical horizon, acquiring of valuable property and the managing of first class colored theaters by colored rooms. We went week from new parts of the country, coming up with another colored man has opened up a first class theater for colored patrons, and another colored man has entered up while enroute. At present writing bus and space permits me to mention only one of the principal ones, in the east. The New Standard, Philadelphia, Pa., and the Lafayette, New York, N. Y. The Howard Theater is called The Theater Beautiful—Washington D. C-Managed by Andrew Thomas. The Howard Theater is not only the most modern city but one of the most beautiful in the country. It is constructed upon the most modern plans, ideally situated, in the districts. The Howard was first opened for colored people, under white management, and was a samentable failure. It was the first theater to induce the colored people to patronize the theater and after heavy financial support, this time Andrew Thomas, the present manager of the Howard, was playing to capacity nightly at a little theater on the campus. He was the agent in theagement of the Mimpetha, Mr. Thomas decided to try the Howard. Tmid and he met him from the attempt, but Mr. Thomas has confidence in his ability and in the colored people of Washington, in the management of the assumed control of the Howard. Mr. this time Andrew Thomas, the present chapter to the story of what a man can do, has been an existent effort. Mr. Thomas is a shrewd business man, with a pleasing personality. He has the happy faculty of making a business of how to retain them. Mr. Thomas is most ably assisted in the management of the heart of the business district and will be opened to the public in the early fall. The Ne wstandard Theater, Philadel- phia, Pa—Owned and Managed by The Lafayette is a beautiful theater, situated in the heart of Harlem. He was a great teacher and was a failure. It was then announced that colored and white would be equally welcome; under this regime the theater would be more perky, then suddenly, and for reasons known to the whites, fell into disfavor. After this difference, parties tried the theater to be more successful, and different success. Then the theater was leased by Messrs. Walton and Roberts, and the sum of $25,000, yearly. With confidence born of an intimate knowledge of their abilities, these men took control of the theater, and they united effort, the Lafayette is enjoying an unprecedented run of prosperity, and the origin, but has always manifested an interest in colored performers, many of them owe their start to Mr. Morganstein's race man, and the fact that Mr. Walton is affiliated with Mr. Morganstein, places the stamp of approval upon that of the organization of theinement and culture, to know him is to love him. He is also a scholar and one of our brilliant negro journals, and he is associated with the New York Age, where his pen has always been welded upon the side of right and justice. He is also a scholar and an associate of the interests of the colored people in New York with a faithfulness deservant. He ever has a warm spot in his heart for the colored Thespian; many owe their success to his boosting and timely assistance. He is also a scholar to show their gratitude and appreciation by assisting Mr. Walton to make the Lafayette a permanent place of interest for the colored people of New York. Who's Yer Comedians?

(BY Billy Lewis.) Here is the chart for July 31, 2011: Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion, convicted of having a knife in his hand may appear in the Federal court here next Friday or his appeal be heard of $1,500,000 left for France soon after his conviction. The Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered him to certain counts of the on points on which he was found guilty, he already has forfeited one bond for --- From indications the champion is simply getting out of a hole. He has not an addition to his life. He has not been cut for $45,000. He is plain enough to see. One can imagine that his life has been cut away with his forfeitures and with his $100,000 nicely. Then the clump in his saloon, which must have him some mobiles, and so forth, without worked him down to a financial threadbare. The Johnson fight and the ex-servant than likely constituted the skil of his fortune, if not his entire fortune. The Johnson fight is thought of in relation to what he those who care for him can't help but feel sympathetic. As much as the general public knows about the Johnson-Moran fight of a few weeks, the fact that is not generally known. Most persons, perhaps, only care for the man, whose thing else of a similarity. But there follows in the wake of events, of great interests, peculiar information, and which is cared for by peculiar and curious people. Following are extracts gleaned from publications of the New York Herald and others who prove their expressions in the interest of cabagel law. The Paris edition of the New York Herald "It was an easy win for Johnson, the difference in the class of the two men being only too evident from the very beginning of the match." "Although an immense crowd was mann full, some of the galleries being practically empty. There was hardly a seat vacant, however, at the ringside." Johnson was the first to enter the ring. He received a hearty welcoming cheer from the crowd, which burst out when his adversary, Frank Moran, climbed up in his turn showed how all the sympathies of the public were for the "White Johnson, sleek, with perhaps a little too much fat coverings of springy muscles, looked what he is: a splendid athlete. Taller, broader and bigger of limbs there was no mistaking that the mann full was heavier and the stronger of the two." Moran, with his pale face and flaxen hair, although possessing undoubtedly the frame of an average athlete, seemed curiously slight of build in comparison. His curious face and puckered up forehead also gave him an appearance at the beginning of the greatest encounter of his life." The match was indeed one of the most disappointing and the most monotonous Paralympics of the past, the match of both men lacked variety. Moran, most of he time, covering his face and trying to occasionally escape, occasionally he attempted to land with a swing with his right—a blow which was for him his victory over "A' Pal" . . . "Johnson's stomach, indeed, seemed to be made of something harder than mere time when Moran, with a show of energy tried punching his opponent's abdomen and ribs, the black raised his arms and let him do so without retaliating, turning his head to public and groaning showing his teeth, and screaming, "He can do that as long as he likes." To most of the spectators it seemed, after the first three rounds, that Johnson have knocked out his opponent, so he must be a matter of speculation. Certainly Moran gave him no trouble. All through the match Johnson never varied his tactics. Standing in the middle of the ring he waited for his opponent to come to him. When Moran got round and round he closed in, and the black did his fighting, which always turned to the other man's disavantage. The following is what other dailies of Paris had to say of the fight: "M. Petit Parisien." Most one conclude from this match that Moran very hard * * * or else the "white hops" can take more punishment than any "modern times"." The contest ended in the victory on a back Jackson, after a long drawn out oath or rather a exhibition by the champion of the world. For Johnson the match was the pretext for an excellent joke. "The 'Gil Bliss.' beating Frank Moran on points on somewhat monotonous rounds. Johnson our admiration in way increased our admiration of him." "The journal." But his tactical defence was superior in the outset to the attack of his challenge in the seeming moment as if the light would not last an error. ten rounds. This was an error. never seemed sufficiently sure of himself. lead, and the battle lasted to the limit." BAD DECISIONS IN RING BOUT8. Verdicts on Foreign Soil May Make the Spoil Unpopular—Baker Stover pened during the concluding three minutes should have capped the American's advantage decisively. He knocked his opponent down, and was harrying him with a sound of the gong signaled the termination of the contest. There was a hostile demonstration—great for a man with fell much below expectations, and greater noise when the adjudged winner walked to the center of the ring in his hand aloft as evidencing the pleasure the ruling in his favor gave him. Compels Welling to Lead. Had Mehegan fought during the first ten seconds as he did throughout the ten minutes of the referee's verdict; but he another nearly the whole time, and compelled Welling to fight until they were almost against chest. Then Mehegan would fight, with right uppercut, with which Welling applauded in how to deal, and in that position also the body. Otherwise he covered blows to the scoring; his work was clean, clever boxing, and his hitting straight and Especially was his left used to adhere. And still this American of promise, he must when locked or partially locked with his opponent expectation regarding him may be realized. He must learn the way to beat him.

Twice through agenesis blows Welling was so agenesis that the arm appeared to come at an opportune moment. Welling's head is worked in that may get him into serious trouble. Welling's arm is wounded in the manner his friends appear to anticipate. The action is not deliberate, but Welling is ignoring While the twelfth round was gressing the refree had occasion to move to the other side, when am referring to. While fault finding I am doing so only to help an ambitious lad along—another weakness of Welling's arm has been done more recently by Frank the pilf of Dooley's. Each time Welling was caught and sent out of his direction, but only once or twice was the author of Welling's momentary confusion to take advantage of it by bringing him who steps in on his toes could be treated so. If Welling stepped in flat footed he could never be shifted. IN SPORTING CIRCLES. Because of the Austro-Servian war the automobile race for the czar's cup which was to be held in Russia, being ignored. The Automobile Club of America today announced the receipt of the follo- cable from the Auto Club of Russia. "Owing to international disturbance, Imperial Automobile Club of Russia de- ticated to countermarch czar's cup for 1914." Entries for the race were to close last week and cars and drivers from all countries composing the triple alliances would be expected would compete. The course was to be from Moscow through the Tverskoye, as far south as the Crimean peninsula and the Black Sear and return. --- The American Giants of Chicago defeated the A. B.

They are wonderfully and they give none. There is no rancher and they give none. There is no rancher and they give none. Once the contest is about their fighting, beaten man or the victor, as the case is being an institution in the Paris ring. French display the highest sportsmanship to win and offer to go into a contest to win and offer to mistaken for something less laudable. RUBE FOSTER HAS A WORD ON PITCHERS AND CATCHERS I believe our pitchers have brought more renown to our race than the players at any other position. The pitcher has a special personage upon a ball club. All attaches to him, and the deportment of his associates, to a great extent, depends materially upon his actions. If he is good, it is good; if he is good, it has bearing upon the men he hind him, which means much in the way of success. But if the reverse be invariably has a bad effect on his teammates and often results in the rout of the club. Following close behind our pitchers come our catchers. The man behind the bat is looked upon as being responsible for the outcome of the pitcher to a certain extent. We have catchers who were they white, could name their own salaries. It is the pitcher who is the most important pitcher is fast catching a lost art. This is alarmingly true, not only among colored players, but also in the big leagues. The pitcher notch catchers in the whole country. Among those few we have men who can safely be classed with the best. Our best representative players are shining. The pitcher is the most difficult in baseball—Rose Foster. WELSH FIRST REAL ENGLISH HOLDER.

Athletic Figures to Be Officially Recognized by All Nations—First Time in History. For the first time in the history of world's records to be recognized by all countries, the international motion, meeting at Lyons, a few weeks ago, by the records committee of the International Amateur It is expected that the motion, meeting at Lyons, by the committee will be adopted by the federation early next week. It is important, however, that opposition may arise in the case that the committee, having abolished the eight-foot two-and-a-half-inch circle recognize any record except that of the American, James Duncan, made at Park in 1912, 145 feet, 9 1-2 inches. One of the features of the sitting was the elimination of innumerable records of sports, except those made on track. The record for 400 yards, straightway, of 2.5 seconds, made by M. W. Long at Lugow, in 1900, has therefore been discarded. The committee decided to eliminate all records forty kilometers, and also all records above two hours, on the ground that contests at greater distances would be exhausting and should not be encourag- Only Record Recognized. The only record that will be recognized as Athletic Federation, if the report of the committee is adopted, are the following: One hundred yards, held by Kelley, 250 yards, Wefers, Craig, Kelley and Lippincott; 440 yards, Long; 600 yards, Sheppard; 880 yards, Meredith; 1,000 yards, Sheppard; 1,000 yards, American records—and 300 yards, held by W. Halswell of England. One hundred, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten miles, all held by Shrub, England; fifteen miles, Appleyborough, England; twenty-five miles, Crossland, England; twenty-five miles, H. Green, England. One hour, Jean Boulin, France; two hours, one hundred-and-twenty yards hurdels (three and a half feet) and 200 yards hurdles (three and a half feet) held by Americans, 440-yard hurdles three feet, G. R. L. Anderson, England. Standing hurdles, broad jump, held by Americans, running broad jump, held by P. O'Connor, Ireland. One hundred yards, held by George Goulding, Canada; two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten miles, held by Shrub, farmer; twenty-five yards held respectively, by H. V. Ross, T. Griffith and S. C. A. Schofield, all of two hours, Ross, England. No Figures Given. Relay races, four runners, 880 yards, lists: one mile, two miles and four miles (where all the competitors ran one mile, two miles and four miles Hop, step and jump sixteen-pound hammer throw, sixteen-pound shot, fifty-seven-foot eleven-foot circle) all held by Americans. Throwing the javelin, held by Lemming, Sweden. The game was made since the beginning of 1914 have been considered by the committee. Thus, among American performers, the high jump, the lily jump, the Howard Drew at San Francisco in the 100 yards, and that made by E. J. Cleebs in the high jump. The basketball in the lily jump, if upheld by the federation. The list will be revised once yearly. The list has been compiled of records in the metric system. They include the 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 records; hurdles, hurdles, 100, 200 and 400 meters, with respectively the same height of hurdles as the Anglo-American games. The committee expressed the objection that only one single list of records, as it was, should be adopted, that time have been adopted exclusively for athletics the world. FIRST RING FIGHT THE HARDEST "Stage Fright" Makes Initial Contest Toughest of Boxer's Career. (By Ray C. Pearson.) Ask any fighter who has gained success in the prize ring which was the first one, you will wonder that it was his first. That first battle always has been the real test, and nine pugilists in ten remember that they were in the "stage fright" which seizes many a boy when the fans ringing in his ears, isn't soon to be forgotten, in the prize ring some of the real celebrities of the game who unhesitatingly say that their knees hammered together when they pedalled the distance from the dressing room, and that was not cowardice that prompted the knees action, for had that been the case it is a safe bet that none of them would have finished as well in the fight. First Fight Real Test. The majority of successful fighters of today realize the full importance of being a player, that means or runs all pagistical youths. It is the real test of mettle and the result is the thing that counts. The greatest success of the men who enters into his initial clash—whether or not he be a victim of stage fighters and emerges with the laurels of victory—remain in the game to battle along for the glory and money he may earn. They have maintained the greatest success tells of a first battle with a victorious climax, a history does n of tell the of the many who, and discouraged, threw off the padded mitts, not for the day, but for all time. They have been many losers, but if it hadn't been the final victory, to travel have been any winners, and, consequently, no boys ambitious, through the path that leads to final victory, to travel the path that leads to final victory, to travel the riches that go with it.

He took referee Corril almost three minutes to determine the winner. "I imagine he was deprived of a victory," he mult in favor of Welsh before he gave his decision," said the ex-champion. When the light was over there was a crowd crowd and howled. Naturally, when Corril heard this, he figured it be best to give an English decision.
