Indications point to the biggest contest in good people of Tidewater Virginia are determined to keep up the splendid reputation it has always had of being Southland. The "glad hand" is being extended by both white and colored people of the Elks all lines will be loosened. As has been said before in these columns, the greatest interest of the session is the Grand Exalted Ruler. The status of an organization is largely set by the nature of the organization it behoves the antediluvian brethren to look well before they decide who shall be cast for Dr. J. E. Mills, Dr. W. G.

Mr. Nutter leader—his work speaks for him. Others, untied by fire, can afford to wait for the Nutter adherents claim for him: 1. That he has built up the Elks and added immensely to the membership. 2. That he has softened the asperities between the races on the Elks victory has been scored for the Order. 4. He has made "Memorial Day" a field. Order a list of interesting literature. a line of interesting literature. 5. He now purposes to create an endowment department, to be conducted on one basis. 6.

He will establish a Cadets' Corps a school for the young blood of the Order. 8. He will revise the Constitution to increase the modern ideas of business fraternities. The session opens next Tuesday. Mr. N. M. Jain, the president, jerseyly seems to be assured in advance. One Colored Delegate to Southern Cotton Conservancy Among the more than two hundred delegates to the Southern Cotton Conference in the caucus room of the House of Representatives' office building, was one substantial-looking and eminently well-known member in all of the sessions and his opinions, voicing the sentiments of the thousands of thrifty Negro producers of cotton and textiles to with the utmost deference and respect. The delegate was Dr. W. F. Watkins, of Montgomery, Ala., a member of the place. Dr. Watkins is president of the Montgomery branch of the National Negro Business League and was sent by that body to represent the colored people in the organization and the South in the organization that aims to preserve cotton as "King" in the markets and mills of the world. It is claimed for the Montgomery League that it is the strongest branch in the country of Dr. Washington's stalwart commercial uplift of the Negro race. Dr. Watkins bore credentials from the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Bruce Kennedy is secretary. They paid a high tribute to the worth of Dr. Watkins as a useful citizen, a man of integrity, and the emulation of the rank and file of his people everywhere. He lived up admirably to the reputation vouching for his work, the most cordial relations exist between the white and colored business factors of the city of Montgomery and that of the black community of both. While here Dr. Watkins was plotted around by Lawyer W. L. Houston, and though his stay was all too brief and his mission a business one, such that was pleasing and interesting.

The Washington Bee is "an amosin' sun," and joke with the press fraternity. Nobody in the District takes the Bee ser- vice of sufficient consequence to either affer- or deny anything that it may be pleased to say. The Bee humor is the same as the Bee's relation to real journalism that the comic supplement bears to the Sunday newspaper, but not instructive. It pains us therefore to rob the Bee of any pleasure it may derive from the correspondent, whom the editor appears to think a great deal of. To the end that the unwary Bee may derive the correspondent, ceeping a glory that is not ours, we desire to state that R. W.

Dr. Credit, as handsome and as eloquent as ever, met a host of old friends and the former pastor of the Berean Baptist Church of this city. He has "made of the finest churches in the country, easily worth $100,000." His sermons were a pitch of enthusiasm. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Shiloh's pastor, is on his annual vacation.

Apartment of the house are in great demand for small families. Hundreds of these families do not wish to pay out all of their debts for house rent, and they are care to be compelled to take rooms to help out on expenses.

A "buffer's" measure is easily taken. Stand by your friends. The New York News has a new head typographically speaking. It's a beauty. We hear more of Jack Johnson's activities in Paris than of the President of France. No man ever gains anything by cajoling an enemy at the expense of his real friends. The world is today looking for news-gatherers who find something more inviting than the hole in the doughnut. Let us advertise the good deeds of our friends, no matter what they choose to call themselves in politics or religion. The fellows who use to fatten during campaign periods are now having a meal making them end meet. Some have gone to work. Jack Johnson the center of the limelight of Gay Parce, would be an inspiring figure at the head of a regiment of French Rough Riders. the leader of "class" is beset by compy followers who trade upon their compy followers "strength" with him to pull off some dirty work their own beehall. The advent of the Germans into the limelight has changed the familiar Nazi man to Nisch gefddeltlittle. But we have to worry some, nevertheless, if the cost of living continues to go up. "Remember Camlette" is a motto that every sensationally-inclined editor has constantly at his elbow. The blackheads go away, since Madame Cailloux operated so effectively at Paris. It is a bad situation when it is necessary for appreciative whites to process antagonisms from the feaulous antagonisms of other people. Yet this sort of thing happens frequently among us to our detriment. This is the day of the so-called "press agent". No statesman, group leader, financer, business organization or interest group can properly set before the public what a promoter is "onto his job." The wholesale war in Europe may clarify a situation that has been clouding long time. Actual clashes often longer than open through years of unsatisfied longings, unavenged resentments and accumulated jealousies. In all probability, the first Sunday and Monday in June of next year will apart as "Railroad Days," in harmony with a successful movement toward better accommodations for colored citizens featured this year by Dr. Booker T. Washington. Under the "get-there" administration of Grand Exalted Ruler T. Gillis Newer per cent of the correspondence of the late Elisa was answered in two hours after Can't we get some Nutters into the newspaper fraternity? Some of us are small in the matter of answering letters. . . . It may be selfish to think about it, but the call of the foreign waiters means to the call of the Negro waiters means to the recall of the Negro waiters tables they have been forced away from the flux of Germans, Frenchmen, Italians, and the great European war may prove to be a blessing in disguise.

Washington's years ago by having its school chillers ago by having its teachers in the pathway of the great educators event to the place where he was to speak. Former Auditor John W. Tyler is the Washington correspondent contributing editor of the New York contributing editor of the Chicago Defender. He has several contributions with the Washington Bee, to which he contributed editorials and directed a feature department under the nom de fame of "The Sage of the Potomac." The clans are "mobilizing" for the annual meetings of the National Negro Association, the Elks, the National Medical Association, the B. M. C., the True performers and a host of other important people. Some significant issues may be settled, and many more will postponed until next year. Attorney Chapin Brinsmade, legal adviser of the N. A. A. C. P., can give you accurate data on the reason we forfeit the Potomac got off the bones of that fire organization. There is a deathhike on the subject of the funds of the Brink-Vise Association and the character of the dispense them. The specter of the house" loomed ominously athwart the vision of the erstwhile "Sage." --- When an official of the governments, of which any kind of a public institution does not happen, let us take a moment to drop in on the association. As "Old Hickory" in the Dalton Park remarked pertinently remarks: "We ought to prominence to a favor done us as to praise us, and wronged us than praise upon the man we been giving us a square deal. Silence of our case is likely to be misconstrued. --- At St. Louis, during the General Conference of the C. M. E. church, Phillips gave a wonderful demonstration of his powers as a churchman and presiding officer. The control he exerted over the church was the most exciting trials in the annals of the denomination saved the day for the right, and a critical stage was reached. The denomination and diplomacy of Bishop Phillips averted what in less capable hands might have been a split in the connection. T. G. Phillips Nutter won national fame at the T. G. Phillips management of the Robert Clark in West Virginia. Clark was charged with assaulting a white girl. There were great treaties of吊绑 were made and the Governor lynched troops in readiness to send to the court house. The treaties of吊绑 were took the defense over the protest of white and colored friends. In the case, where certain death was almost certain the trials say they want five years in the "pen." This is the case the trials say they want continued at the head of their litigation-ridden order. As the time for election approaches, the elevation of Financial Secretary John McDonnell and Bishops grows more certain. Conference after conference is pledging itself to his conference in 1922 as reaffirming their position, and many who did not then commit themselves are now ral'ing enthusiastically with the three by three. Bishops are to be THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER PURDUE INSTRUCTORS AT STATE FAIR Soil Improvement Crop Improvement A CORNER OF PURDUE'S EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT Much of the educational strength of Purdue University will be directed to farm men and women who attend the Indiana State Fair the week of Sept. 7, Prof. G. I. Christie of the Purdue Agricultural Extension Department, promising that what will be offered through Purdue at the fair will in itself be well worth the time and money it will cost people from the farm to attend the exposition. The farm visitors are especially asked to prepare themselves before hand by making out lists of questions on farm subjects on which they desire enlightenment and ask the Purdue instructors, about twenty of whom will be at the fair, when they reach the exposition. Last year about 20,000 farm people went to the Purdue building at the fair and during the week the instructors probably answered 100,000 questions along all lines of Hoosier farming. In addition to this kind of information which the Purdue experts will elected, and it is morally certain that Dr. Jackson will reach the required destination. But not cast. His eminent services cannot be made way be fittingly recognized—and Zionites have always been known as a grateful and appreciative people. Dr. Jackson* has a sonorous dog. We shall hear it after 1916. In response to an inquiry from a number of people, we wish to state that the National League has met at the following points in the fifteen years of its ex-ception: Boston, 1901; Chicago, 1901; Richmond, 1901; Cleveland, 1903; Indianapolis, 1904; New York, 1905; Atlanta, Ga., 1906; Topeka, Kan., 1906; Milwaukee, 1908; Louisville, Ky., 1909; New York, 1912; Ark. 1911; Chicago, 1912; Philadelphia, 1913, and will meet at Muscala, 1913, and the sessions have oscillated with contours from East to West to South, with the evident purpose of "carrying the people," Calling Oklahoma South, to the general view that the meeting of 1912, go to the Middle West or the East. --- Charles W. Anderson, Internal Revenue Collector for the Second Inter-State, the richest internal resource of New York, the richest internal resource of New York, the country is "some collector." At the cost of the fiscal year the receipts of the fiscal year to over $15,000,000 in three days are accounted for without an error and accounted for without an error and accounted for without an error have never been accused of having city or a colored administrator of public affairs and need to give it to him—loosening up so that praise in his work in "ungrudging Anderson is a credit to the nation as well." His retention as Collector gives satisfaction allike to democrats, republicans and "bull moosers" black and white. --- Four colored men have served as Rear Adm. the Presearcy. B. K. Bruce was the first officer in the army. 1881 by President Garfield and finishing out his time under President Arlington in the spring of 1898, after but died in the spring of 1908, after he was succeeded by the office. He was succeeded by the secretary of the office who remained until the summer of 1913 when President Roosevelt gave the plaque to the naval officer the present incumbent, George A. Oklahoma, an Indian educator. Lyons was the longest term of the colored men, holding the office and three months. Bruce hailed from Mississippi Lyons from Georgia, Virginia, Alla and Napier from Tennessee. Alla and Napier vice, and the race felt a pardonable pride in seeing their names on the poster in seeing the greatest republic in the world. The erudite Amsterdam News hits the buls-eye when it says, "The rapid Association and the National Negro Business League has been nothing short of exhilaration. However, what is been accomplished here is timely is simply an earnest of the futur organization and usefulness of the two organizations and what can be done by united effort. Those newspapers, members of the Negro Business League, association, may well feel proud and hope to be represented at the sessions of the news league. The colored papers should be stronger keep peace within race boundaries, their ammunition for the common foe, the necessary set an example of unity and fellowship for their readers. If the mod-licators are necessary for the other fellows, it is necessary for the progressive mcmc organization of the Press Association." The Press Association will score heavily at Muscogee. The special edition of the Baltimore Tribune, giving great prominence to the college, the university and the brethren of the craft, was a highly creditable specimen of up-to-date journalism and stamped Editor Mynn J. Chirimba and initiative, ready resourcefulness and far-seeing vision. He learns of the hardships his steps toward the future with wisdom, women who seem best fitted to crystallize into actualities. The history of the College Association, its regular and miscellaneous activities for racial uplift along all lines, with cuts of the men who mould the country, are all brought out in wide appeal in a markable and very expensive special edition of The Colored Man. The group carries a group of distinguished editors, including Chisum as "The Big Six": The group includes T. Thomas Fortune, J. H. H. H. H. H. W. E. King and Henry Allen Bridger. Mr. Chisum, whose fidelity to the crusade was so admirably shown at Philadelphia, is mentioned in many quarters as a fit man to place in the presidential National Negro Press Association, Muskegue meeting August 17 and 18.

Alabama, as president, for all state. give, the University will have several tons of its best exhibition material at the fair, all spread out in displays which farm people will readily understand and profit from. Every line of farming, breeding and home economics in which Hoosier farm people are interested will be covered by the Purdue experts and the displays, and thousands of farm folks will have opportunity to make "short cuts" toward the solution of questions which will help in advancing development of home affairs. "Purdue University will co-operate with the State Board of Agriculture as far as State Fair facilities and Purdue funds will permit in making the coming fair of great educational worth to farm people," said Prof. Christie. "The fair offers opportunity to absorb much information and inspiration along the line of better farming and better rural life that will have measurable worth to Indiana farm people." other term of two years.

In two depart ments of the fair where Indiana wom- en mostly show their capabilities as home makers—the fine arts and culi- nary departments—the total awards offered are over $2,000. ‘The most notable change in the women’s departments will be that of paintings and drawings, the total pre- miums of which reach $500, and which is expected to bring to the fair’s art gallery the representative work of the best Hoosier artists, In other years anyone who could paint any kind of Picture in oils or water colors could show their work at the fair, but at the next fair a new method will be followed, for each picture will have to be approved by a jury made up of art- ists who have exhibited work at the annual Indiana artists’ exhibition at the John Herron Art Institute, Indian- apolis, and this jury, after a critical examination, will determine what pic tures are worthy to go on exhibitior. at the fair, No state fair or exposition in the country ranks with Indiana in its ex hibition of decorated china, ‘This ex- hibi: at the next fair will show some notable improvements, for there has been a revision of the classes and in increase of prizes which will bring forth the best work that the profes. sional and amateur painters haye to offer. The total prizes on china will be over $550, Because of a revision in the arts and crafts division and an increase of prizes there will be extraordinary qualities of stenciling, block printing. hand-made jewelry, leather _ work, weaving, wood carving, pottery and other lines of craftsmanship shown, The amateur photographers, who are always busy in Indiana, will again have an extensive show, but their ple- tures must all be of this year’s make. ‘The Fair is always rich in the nee- dlework of Indiana women, especially in crochet and knitted work, hand- made laces and embroideries, pillows and other fancy work, and special spectmens of hand sewing. A new division will be needle work done by women of sixty-five years or older, and another will be for girls of fifteen years and under. ‘The culinary exposition will have fine displays of those kitchen products for which Indiana women are national ly famous—breads, cakes, pastries, fruit products, relishes.

President Wilson is not misunderstood when he insists that people of the United States keep out of the European war muddle. Christmas toys to the amount of a half million dollars escaped from Europe. The war is not going to have everything its way. Colonel Roosevelt says that he represents the true faith, and that all should see it his way, especially the Republicans. They come in and help things go. He is very anxious that Maine should go Progressive. As Maine goes, so goes the nation, was formerly said. It is not a safe saying in these times. However, the party that's successful in Maine is still respected. And now if we will play the proper part before those white children who saw "Uncle Tom's Cabin" they will ever maintain their present sentiments. Here is the hope. If they see nothing that will strike down their fine notions of what life means they will sortie forth from their reserve and aid in taking the army of opposition. It is as clearly demonstrated that we are to the greater extent architects of our own fate. These children are the perennial hope. If this generation of them is not thoroughly convinced that we are worthy of their utmost respect after having tried us out through the years, others yet will be born, who will have that same large humanity of heart, and who will take up the work where the others left off. Thus they are our perennial hope, and who will decide as we present the case before them. How will we present the case? The Progressive party is saying some splendid things to the Negro voters. They are not different to what the Republican party has always said, and what the Democratic party says when in a felicitous mood. That party when viewing the race as such will not think of it differently to what is now thought of it by the Republicans and Democrats. Consequently we cannot see that a plea for the Negro voter as such means anything. The race question is beyond the consideration of parties as we find parties made up. It is a thing of evolution, or time and experience. If the Progressive party has some new political tenets that will be for the benefit of the country, then it is up to the Negroes to inquire into what those tenets are, and accordingly try the party out if convinced of its integrity and fidelity. Thus they will act as other men. Nothing special in the Negroes' behalf is expected. The mills of the gods grind slowly, but exceedingly fine. It appears that way at this time in the European war situation. There's a lack of that hurrah which was anticipated and which was so much in evidence at the first outbreak. War is going on just the same—awful war—the worst in the world's history. It is proceeding slowly but surely, and as it becomes great bodies and movements. And as it promises to be, it is difficult to think of anything greater or more horrible unless it be the thought of the final judgment, or perhaps the collision of world. To fight seems to charge the very air, and as if a psychological something that could not escape its laws. It's due to the deep intent on the thing. Wrongs endured, imaginary and otherwise, the jealousies of competing nations, the rivalry of nations, and the tensions attributed to the old world unrest. Men cannot think disarmament or military disestablishment at this time. Perhaps, when they are in their calm, quietly reviewing the havoc they have made, they may rise in a newness of life and vote war out of the creed of civilization, and as they ought to do. It is said that the new rule, by the civil service commission, regarding the furnishing of photographs for identification by those taking the examinations, before appointment to office, would work harm to the Negroes and perhaps others. Perhaps so, however, we do not see it that way. It is said, by knowing the nationality of the applicants for office, those having the appointing power would use the knowledge against the Negro applicant. Those doing the talking go on the theory that the nationality of the applicant is not known under the present system. The nationality is not supposed to be known, but it may be set down that it is generally known before the appointment is made. We are not willing to admit that the Service Commission is counting at fraud. It would be that, if by any system the eligible applicant would be defeated. We think there may be other uses for the photographs. It is possible for one person to take the examination under an assumed name, and the person presenting for appointing might be an all together different person. At any rate we will not think of the government in collision to beat an applicant until we know it to be true. THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The fifteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League held forth at Muskogee, Okla., this week. Representative men of the race gathered to that city August 19, remaining until August 22. Roscoe C. Simmons of the publicity committee in a report from that city said in part: "Fourteen cities have played host to the Business League, but no city, from Boston to Philadelphia, has presented a livelier scene in its preparation for the comfort and entertainment of the delegates of the League than this Wizard City of an engaging commonwealth. Nor has such a crowd of believers ever gathered for a feast of a new Israel's Passover. The capital of a wonderful province of daring and achieving black people—black in appellation, if democratic in the hue. Muskgoose in the white, if white, in the whole country to come; and here they are by the inch, yard and league—countable, but uncounted! "The delegates began arriving Monday, and Wednesday found them still arriving. Special trains and special League Pullman cars, an idea fathered and promoted by the ever planning Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the League, as he is secretary of Tuskegee Institute, brought them in by the hundreds. And from far away points special Pullman came, laden with a cargo of purpose, dignity and achievement; black and proud of it; having and determined to have more. The homes of this thriving city, homes of comfort, convenience, homes set in the West, but fashioned in the East. Are the homes of the West are the heart of the West is worn on the sleeve, and the sleeve is too long to measure." Dr. Booker T. Washington, who has been president of the League since its organization, delivered his customary annual address, saying by way of introduction: "Throughout the world the ten millions and more of black people in the United States are being observed and studied in a larger measure than is true of any similar group of black people in existence, or perhaps that has ever existed. People from all parts of the world interested in the civilization of clack people are coming to the United States to study the condition and the progress of the American Negro; for after all is said, if there is any place where the Negro has a chance to show his mettle, it is right here in the United States. "For this reason, as well as for the sake of ourselves, it is a matter of extreme importance that we not disappoint ourselves nor those who are studying and observing us. Within the fifty years of our freedom, and even before physical freedom came, great and almost marvelous progress had been made, but we must not rest upon the past; we must continue to go forward." UNCLE TOM'S CABIN STILL A CIVILIZATION'S INFLUENCE Sermons in stones, as dry looking and as non-interesting as they apear. But this story is not of stones it is of that classic, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," by Harriet Beecher Stowe and which was seen here (the play) last week. One feels to see more in it as it grows older, or the more times he sees it. Perhaps it's owing to a newer viewpoint. Perhaps old unseen truths troop that had never before been in a cammañn. In the first place the audience appealed notwithstanding it was made up largely of white people, young people. The matinees especially were made up of white children—boys and girls of that most interesting period—ranging from ten to sixteen years. In the main they were the children of the middle class—the well to do people. Their parents were shopkeepers, professional people and mechanics, judging by their well kept appearance. The girls were white and clean. The boys were the same. The girls were happy. The boys were happy. Their bursts of laughter were the pleasantest imaginable. There were a few colored boys and girls sprinkled through the audience. There would have been more, but the report has gotten out that the theatre don't expect colored people in certain parts. And the report is true. Some of the children were of the poor and the very poor. They ran through the halls, their chubby feet beating the floor. They also placed them on the railing in the theatre. All were intently bent on what was before them. How would they take this play after these years of civil strife—the prolonged racial agitation? When Legree kills Uncle Tom, what will they think? What is in the heart of young white America—the black man's hope? Let us see. If one, a Negro, were inclined to be bowed down because of what the thought our country had in store for his race he would have been buoyed up by the pretty spectacle that precluded the affluence of this week at the Lyceum theatre in this city, where "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was presented. Hundreds of children were there, and moved as one by humane actions and sentiments that they saw and heard. These young people, we take it, already know of the race differences in this country. They know what is held to be the difference between themselves and the colored people, and they stick to race lines, may be. And yet when the time came for a trial of their sentiment they stood up on the right side. They preached and most beautifully—the uttered no word—yet they preached and we of the race understood them. That they unconsciously preached is the better. They meant it; it was not framed up; it was a part of them; a part of every one of them. How eloquent it all was! When "Miss Ophelia" upbraids St. Clair for having a Nigger, Uncle Tom, so familiar with Little Eva, it was treated with respectful silence. Miss Ophelia again called attention to the familiarity, and again the little ones her cold. She saw nothing wrong in the kind hearted, worshipful attention of the old, white-haired Negro. They enjoyed Miss Ophelia's discomfiture through Topsy's activities. The climax came, the supreme test, when the slayer of "Uncle Tom" was himself slain, and as a direct result of his own action. The applause was unanimous if one can say it in that way. It was grand. If there were doubts as to where those children stood, not on the race question, but on that of humanity, they were dispelled at this point. They unconsciously pledged themselves to the work of humanity. If they are not strongly taught otherwise their vows will remain unbroken. We do not mean that those children will solve the race problem as we, the colored people, sometimes think of it. They perhaps will rest behind the breastworks of the present racial attitude, but when the Negro is pushed unduly, persecuted and mobbed, they will, in after years, stand up in the right place as they stood up during this week's presentation of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's beautiful work. AMERICANS LOSE FIRST GAME. Cuban Stars Playing a Series With the Giants—Both Teams. Play unlimited number of scenes of the play are laid and Washington, D. C., a male character well as historic settings. HAYTI MISREPRESENTED? Some one, an American Negro, writing from Hayti to one of the race publications says, that, that country is suffering from a campaign of misrepresentation in this country. The information is hopeful, but not assuring. We have tried hard to think of the island as in keeping with its reputation for great prospects in view of its situation and climate. The writer thinks it a very tempting morsel for the United States, insisting that the Americans think so, and that they are keeping a sharp watch out for the main chance. There are many in our country who would soon exume Hayti as not. In fact it is and beaten look as if there were a program of the kind. Says the writer: "The sending of vessels of the United States navy to Haytian waters is not relished by people of this country, who resent the idea that Haytians need interference from outside sources." It is said that the troubles of Hayti are exaggerated. The writer says that current obligations, both internal and foreign have been promptly met, and nothing is now due any such creditors of the government, notwithstanding the internal affairs of the republic. He puts the stress on the financial status of the country as if that were the best indication of a country's prosperity and progression. And, perhaps, it is in the event a country has much dealing with other countries. It is certain that the successful discharge of financial obligations gets rid of the cause for interference in the internal affairs of a country. Of course, there can arise other reasons for interference such as we have known in the affairs of Hayti and other small countries. But they are not sufficient reasons for annexation, excepting it be the one of perpetual turbulence, and as some see in Haytian affairs. We do not think of any country of modern times that has been gobbled up owing to internal dissension. Such a condition, however, is thinkable. A protectorate for Mexico threatened to be the way out of that country's recent very complex affairs. The thing would have been protested most vigorously. But it does not stand to reason that the intercine war would have been permitted to go on indefinitely. The sovereignty of States may say, "Yes," and all say, "Yes," when conditions are not too unusual. When different the voice protesting in the name of humanity rises higher than that protesting in the name of peace. The Haytians should read between the lines. If its condition is exaggerated it should see to it that it comes up to the level of men's expectations. From all that is understood that country merely exists. To be true, that's no reason why it should be devoured, but more activity would tend to destroy the thought of annexation. Cuba is giving evidence of being. With Hayti the question seems to be or not to be. And marked with this "eternal," or perhaps infernal indecision, it neither stays or goes, so to speak. Hayti sends a consul to New York, a minister to Washington. Why not a ship load of its products—inviting attention to its fields and brilliantly learned it no need to be brilliantly learned it no need to talk of the fair prospects of their land. The Haytians know of the United States Negroes. All of the foreign Negroes pity us for what we have been and what we are. However, they came to enjoy our prosperity. And it is all right, but there should be some courtesies extended from their side. Hayti sends us noting, not even samples of its dusky sons and daughters. This seems to be obtuseness in view of our milieu, not even the courtesies and talk of going to Africa. Why not go some of them to Hayti? The only reason that we can give is that Hayti has not asked them. Our cut rates are now on—The Freeman one year, one dollar. COLORED DELEGATES NAMED Governor Ralston has announced the apointment of the following delegates to the half-century anniversary of Negro freedom, in Chicago in August, 1915: The Rev. W. W. Townsend, Evanvale; Mrs. Eleanor Browne, J. A. Braboy, Kokomo; W. A. Powell, Frankfort; Mrs. Eliza Bock, Connera; Mrs. Eleanor Browne, Artis, Marion; Aleck Manning, Indianapolis; the Rev. Leroy R. Mitchell, Muncie; Robert Julius, Plainfield; Robert Browne, Artis, Mrs. Hazel Hendricks, Indianapolis, and W. R. Valentine, Indianapolis. WAS NOT "AXED," SAYS ROBERT JAMES FLZY Cooperstown, N. Y. To the Editor of the Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sli-I am writing to ask you to please correct a statement through your next issue, that you had in your last issue concerning me. The statement said that I had been told that I had been in the Normal School, Frankfort, Ky. It is true that I taught in the school last year, and as far as the president was aware, I was beautifully, I went to Frankfort through President Russell's influence. I was also recommended by him for reenlistment in 1914-1915. But I resigned the work because I felt that I did not care to go back and because I had work offered by the city of New York City and as I accepted that work I will teach Science in the brick school at Bricks, N. C., 1914-1915. You will do me a great favor if you will correct this statement. Yours truly. ROBERT JAMES ELZY YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO AMERICANS LOSE FIRST GAME.

LUBRIE HILL'S DARKTOWN FOLLIES OF 1915 In Indianapolis Week of August 23 at the Malestic Theatre. The Progressive Burlesque Circuit officials, after extended negotiations, have arranged with J. Lubrie Hill to perform in theaters in their theatres this season. This is positively the greatest colored organization that was assembled and in their hands offered precisely as during its most phenomenal year's run at the Lafayette theater, where they are built especially for this noted colored aggregation. Never in the history of the theatricals has a colored comedy other city for more than a one month's run, but the Darktown Follies rightly deserve the record and patronage they two-thirds people at every performance. The cast is comprised of the world, embracing as it does Harper & Gillam, the world's funniest comedians, Gaines & Browne, Salle Byrd and Mitchell, Toots Davis, Ethel Williams (daughter of Bert Williams), Mae Brown, Johnnie Peters and others of the world, singing and dancing chorus unsurpassed by any group of choristers in the world, black or white. Every one of them presented in a manner that calls forth . Never before in the history of burlesque has a colored show been offered in a major theatrical aggregation of colored artists been presented in any theatre as J. Lubriek's "Theatre of the Colors," and will be offered at the Majestic Theatre in a side-splitting comedy entitled "My Friend from Kentucky." Several collar shows run of four or five weeks in New York City (including Williams & Walker); run of four or five weeks only enjoyed a more prosperous run, sold year at the Lafayette Theatre, but they were presented at Hammersstein's. The excellence of the organization can be imagined when the dramatic writers performed a unique performance. More than one million witnesses the unusual performance, two-thirds of whom were the better known unknown record is along sufficiently assuring lines that there is something new and novel in theatricals to be seen, and that the artists as Harper & Gillam, Gaines & Brown, Sallie Byrd Gillam, Evon Robert Julius Glenn, Toots Davia, Ethi Wilhelms, Johnnie Peters, Helen Baxter and others, to say nothing of the most colorful chorus ever seen on the American stage.

The New American Theater, formerly The Lyceum, for years one of Washing- ton's most popular theatres, and the evening of August 24 under the managemen- d of S. H.

The theater is also convenient to 11th street is convenient to all cars. The initial attraction will be Salem theater, a bittersweet and a bitter start could not have been made. The offering of this brilliant aggregation of artists this year will be "HIS tentative critics who have read the book and scanned the music join in saying it is America's foremost producing comedian, and in the new play will have a part different from any he has interpreted in re- al life. The plot provides for many humorous situations and Mr. Whitney appears as a happy-go-lucky colored tourist, a seeker of adventure and mishaps are productive of much unalloyed fun. The comedy is in with lifting, melodious ensembles, and Crying Just for You" and "T Wouldn't Go to Go Out No More" are all well-suited to men entirely with this team. Grim and Dunlap rejoin the Smart Set later in the season. The Howard had a strong bill week. Besides Tammy, there were Peat & Hayes, one of the owners of the country, who put "put" over to a queen's taste. Miss Hayes is and is always a show how to get to the gladiators' clothes to get the results out of her voice, and is one of the cleverest grotesques that have before told the public they have a new line that catches their Herman Company did to appear snuggly in the "black art," and made a black-face comeback that kept the haunt in a roar throughout the time they were on. A banquet for the Smart Set is taken for the closing night of the American Theater engagement. Miss Susie Sutton is to appear shortly in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Miss Susie, which has for three or four years presented the anomaly to white patronage in a strictly colored neighborhood on Church street, may be reopened as a colored house.

Phone, Webster 880 --- WITH THE PLAYERS A wildcat rumor struck town the other day that J.

So perhaps she is about the death of prominent artists have been about that it is difficult to make us fall for rumors that do not carry an affidavit with them. Miss Alice Ramsey, who has starred successfully with Black Patti and J. Leubrie Hill's big show, was easily the "top star" in the show.

The playing of Tom by Gus Collins, colored, and the singing ofangers, especially marked features, whereher people took part. "Uncle Tom," Cabin was not distinctly different but good. Singing of the quartet was very good. The sang popular songs arranged to their harmonizing melodies of the those Miss Jessie Burnett, the entertaining host, is now at the People's Airways airport, La. she keeps the audience in surprise and applause during her appearances as she is a clever little dancer and carries a curly funny steps. Misses Louise Curtis is a strong little Ford and others make strong little change, and you can plainly see the times from Bob Shaw the manager, at times. They all send best wishes to all in and out of the show world. Berry Terry and Miss Della Gill have hands and are doing fine. They have a new act that they will bet on entitled, it's the use of going to war when you get right right here. Miss Gill is now in the show. Miss Gill makes good, as her talk and singing are a good class, and she has the making of a good comedian. Terry always can please the people she brings up, putting his comedy over win him to war in every town. He is singing "Wish You Break Out in Mexico Am Going!" singing "He Had to Get Out and Get Under." They will soon be in vaudeville. Performers beware of Lewis & Lewis. That team worked on the bill with us at the Monogram, and they worked on the talk. After this they were seen by Paul Carter trying to do act. I wish they would try and originate something of their own and not atal what we produce. Brother and sister performers, do not sit at them wing your act. LA JOY AND BAILEY. LaJoy & Bailey, that clever team of stocklogists who have been creating so much in the South, are in Savannah, Ga., where they are playing at the Pekin Theatre. They are not now entertainers, never played before any of them, but they are always working and get long engagements, and you can bet it is not simply because they are in the South, for the Southern theatre-goers are much more comfortable. If you can't put it over you must get out and get under. Miss Bailey is singing just as sweet as ever and has made her hearts Savannah. Who regret very much to see her? Making is making quite a reputation with his character work. After closing at the Pekin they will go to the Douglas Theatre, Macon, Ga. All mail will reach them Jacksonville, Fla., care Airdome Theatre. MRS. JENNIE MILLS LACEY. We take great pride in presenting to our readers one of the most progressive women of the race. Having secured the rights from N. R. Harper, one of our most famous Tallaboo cast, Mary Louise has been cast in the cast and takes the entire company on A. the road. She has shown herself to be a capable actress as well as a business woman. The same company which owns the Chicago: four weeks at Washington, D.C. Louisville, Lexington and other cities, will be seen this season. Fannie Hall Clint, of dramatic fame, is the actress, supported by an excellent cast. CINCINNATI, OHIO, THEATRICAL BUDGET (By Col. Brown.) The theatrical situation has taken a change of front owing to the fall of the stage and venture without sound financial backing created to ensure the feeble mind of the performers sharks termed it, and harasses the other well established houses which have won out by giving the people the best show night, owing to the Monday night owing the performers. The Pekin. With old reliable box office attraction, Johnny Woods and the inevitable "time" with Lucy Shepherd in her old role, this house afforded a night's entertainment, and was met by an overflowing patronage, and of course Mr. Dempsey is all The Lincoln. This house also presented another incomparable bill. The stock staged by Lew Kenner and featured by Koehler, Wendy and Billy Young, with another screaming force with the added acts, Bessie Oliver as the single and the "double in brass" Massangele & Crosby is the show that greeted the large attendance that day. Notes. The sudden return of Jones & Price from British territory, where war is in progress, has caused an act. They bring a sweet little story about houses cutting out vaudville, but he is not afraid. Mr. Price's previous soldier experience in Spanish and Philippine wars has created a streak of nerves, though he claims that Jones was nervy.

The Crown Garden presents a bill of variety this week as well as a good book on the subject. **Tootsie Delk, Character Performer.** Tootsie Delk, formerly of Goodie and Delk, is doing three splendid turns. She is wearing a dress that is not exactly an old woman, but one of the mamma order—plain dres of red and white. She forwards. She shes "San Francisco Bound," taking it off with eccentric steps. She follows with "I Am Crying for You," punctuating it with cries that greatly help the number. She is made up of open arms and a fitted suit. The audience very much appreciated her steps which were light, rythmic and sometimes eccentric. She made up open arms and three costumes in which became the work she does. they did "My Own Rag" or "My Own thing Gone Rag" they put over some thing they didn't like. They carried the audience. They sang. the close was hodge-podge of various songs. They sang "Texas Tommy, the cake walk and then opened with "We Are in Wrong," a breezy number with steps. Miss Gray would usher in clothes.

GLENN AND BROGSDALE WOULDN'T WORK This is to inform you that the team Glenn & Brogsdalse, are very ungentleman in their business, having to address the salary of $40.00 (forty dollars a week). After their arrival and working two shows, they deliberately refused to pay them the salary of my requiring them to work (4) shows, the act only lasting ten (10) minutes. They did not care as to the temperature they worked in, the thing else. Their only explanation was, "We won't work four (4) shows" but they not only unintentionally unbusinesslike.

The nod or a handshake of an honest performer is enough. The lather of a piece of soap like Splendor in glittering tinker, but bumps away when the air becomes the least troubled. A bad performer is like a fat man who takes the place of an assistant hill of success. Study and push will take the place of anti-fat. The performer that has the goods and can deliver them and the guy that wants to deliver the goods before he gets them. Some performers seem to run half way to meet hard luck. The performer—lack of them the monkey. To work, to get; to keep, to be honest. No performer is free to remand a salary before he masters his act. The small minded performer never forgets his business. A wise soubrette manages most managers and the manager forgets to manage his business. Due to lack of other souls and damn your own, you need to brain when the face is free. Plenty of sleep is conducive to beauty; success means to keep awake and damn your own. Variety is the spice of vaudeville, sobriety the salt that seasons success. Constantly the spoon which it is up with. There's nothing white with some managers and performers also, except their shirt-fronts, sometimes it is stressed out. You think little of a performer, say as little about him or her as you think. Don't expect to be successful by watching the other fellows' acts and letting your pet go ondance. You should have a punch and a prizefighter should have a punch and a knock-out. Don't keep your act in your head. Let others see it. It might be all right. but a lamp of a genius may burn low but it never burns out. GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA The fall and winter opening of Gibson's New Standard Theater, since it has been re-decorated and modernized, will be the first time this city the finest vaudeville theater in the country. The attendance all week was larger and the bill was lower than it had been the past year. Devil Johnny Raynolds, who flirts with death at every move he makes. His feats of balancing and juggling were impressive, and he trained, and were very much appreciated. Tim and Hester Moore, in "tuneful nonsense," proved enough to keep the audience 20-minute condition. They had plenty of repatriate, some eccentric dance movements and sang songs that caught on the screen. King and Gee, in their second week, added spice to the performance. They are full of rollicking action, bubbling over good songs and good dance, and are sweet with unusual vocal talents, and they are carefully and skillfully trained artists, who show by example how to work with unusual vocal works is truly a "labor of love." All THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER work the audiences were more than liberal with their applause and the encores were frequent. King & Gee are always certain of a heartsome audience in this city. Taylor & Taylor were winners and had an ingratiating manner with new material. Murphy & Walker had a good act, which the audience enjoyed very much and they did their utmost to please. The Prampton Musical Trio in a comedy musical, did well in solos, duets and trios, playing on several musical instruments which demonstrated good training. The Country Store on Wednesday and Saturday evenings attract much attention, and many avail themselves of this opportunity to take the good things offered home. The pictures were unusually interesting. Al Boyd and wife Cora, after closing with Sheely and Hoffman's smirks, are now in Indianapolis. Who's Salem Tutt---WHITN THE HA Season 1908-'15 SMART T. S. WOLCOTT'S RABBIT FOOT COMPANY. NOTES FROM HOWE'S GREAT LONDON SHOWS. Gordon the comedian, still racks the nerves of the side show patrons with his trademark. He has just purchased a new comedy suit from Ai Derby, the bag puncher, and an opera hat from one of the performers from the show. He would be a good suggestion for him to confer with Clarinetist Grayson, who has a collection of jokes than the side show sage* and would strengthen his repertoire wonderfully, because that old adage of good enough for all will make a successful performer in circus life. A few of the performers follow their patron's schedule, the violin and alto player, runs a hand laundry. Theo. Thomas, the cornetist, runs a cleaning and mending club, runs a band, the master's tour carries out a coffee afternoon. The Darktown harbershop is operated by Richard Mathews. The bunch send their regards to all Billy and the friends. Would like to hear from friends. CABARET AND OTHER NEWS OF NEW ORLEANS, LA.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE NEWS TERMS ACCORDANT UP TO THE FINALTE WAR HAVING EFFECT ON SPORT News of Interesting Happenings Here and There...Comment. (By Billy Lewis.) Some one, more or less sagely, remained that what's one man's meat is another man's poison, that is true in man's own mind, that is true in rain when others are praying for sunshine. Some men in business profitably because of war; they sell their produce in great ways war helps in many ways war helps the policies of many men. However, it policies more than it helps. Some sections of devastation are not recovered from the night war. When Sherman marched he left a swain in his wake, mules in his sack, and a horse in his civilization. Nothing thrived in trail trait. I have in mind the material good and harm of war as thought apart from the great blessing that it sometimes brings. I picked up this note from one of the daily newspapers of this city, and which touches on the present war's Most Americans appreciate that the most important battle the horrible conflict of the battles of Europe can not be but bad. Pew Americans, that the American sport. If commerce between Russia and the United States is supported for many years, the national game of baseball may be materially affected. Every grade of baseball played with Russian horsemen. The Russian horse having been exposed for thousands of years in the open arena, has developed a hide of extraordiarly strength and tenacity. Leather made from this hide will stand the terrific strain required in the covering of a baseball. Consequently the hide, hides, strange as it appears, if continued for any length of time, might send up the price of a baseball helmet to hamper the enjoyment of the American small boy, though not perhaps to check in any appreciable manner, richly financed profes-sor. The above paragraph is quite as significant in that it tells from where our horses are, and that it tells of the war's probable effect on the cost of baseballs. It is interesting to know whose hides they have been toughened by the cold of a thousand winters, and as Russia only knows, too tough. We guess that these years horses—the identical ones, Russia in Asia skirts the polar seas, Russia in Europe has machines that can give the elephants curds and spades and beat them as to size—hy in centuries of the past, then in the present, out of the natural cold storage, looking for the world, as if he lay there but you don't. It might have dreamed it, but I think it is in the books some where. The cat how might have dreamed that he would have been good and tough if there is any truth in the report. The cat can't get hides from horses a thousand years old, and from the Caar's frigid stepspe, we will have to manage to horse along with hides from the horse up by quantity the loss of quality. Carl G. Fisher, the chief promoter of the speedway, the automobile race track at Indianapolis, relied on Europe. He had an exciting time getting out of the country before being hemined by the war. The following year, he accorded to Fisher, Goux, Bollot, Chassagne, Guyot, Christaure, Duray, Thomas and all the other famous drivers of much importance in the French army. He said that Goux was a sort of aid-d-camp to General Joffre, the chief engineer of the army, while Bollot occupied a similar position with another general. He was either an experienced minelayer, engineer or bridge builder, and that their services were much in demand. In addition to this, all of them expected to be called to the front for this branch of the service sooner or later. Will Hold Race. Asked whether or not the war would have any effect on the next speedway race, he said he could not say at present. "If we were to present it, we will keep up, we will have no foreign drivers here, but I am inclined to think that the American manufacturers are enthusiastic to build cars good enough to make an interesting race." Will you go back to the 450 cubic inch piston displacement limit?" Fisher was asked. "No, no," he said. "All the big motor manufacturers in this country are beaten by 2000-inch motors, and I am satisfied that we will have plenty of small motors." "We seem to have been the fact," he said. "The American race car manufacturers have been a year behind the foreigners. The war will probably give the Americans a chance to catch up and to build cars on even basis with their foreign rivals." It is always more or less interesting to read of the conversation between two girls who are on the eve of sign-up for a scrap. Damon Runyon in the Wash. has taken a lively interest in how the boys get together. Here follow a supposed act where they finally get together. Background—You bet they're crazy to you. Crazy no name for what they are. Manager—Whaddah! "bout that Butter Manager—What's the thing?" First Manager—Why was it night, and anyway it was a shipin' and ev'body knows he'd make a snake, and the trump if ever most again. Three papers second to us at that. manager—Yeah! Cigarette First, Final Ephistion (gloomily)—that guy didn't hear to me 'cept bite. He buried me, he needed me, and 'evithing and the ruffian to him get away with it. Some one. has recvived the question whether the big men or little men play a better baseball game. The question is a deal like like the one discussed among payers—whether one plays could beat nine Ty Cobbs. But is it possible to beat them? Here are teams suggests: little team—O'Neill and Schalk catchers, first base and Fisk, pitchers, first base; first base; Evers, second Marmann; shortstop; Malsel, outfield; Leach, Milan and Ehler. Tall Team, McLean, catcher; Main, Morton and Freenberg, pitchers, first base; first base; blackburn, second base; McGrade, short- burn, second base; McGrade, Moriarity, third base; Hofman, Collins and Snowdgrass, outfield. Big Team-Meyers and Henry, catchers; James, Reubach, Hagerman catcher; Taugh, pitchers; J. Miller, first base; J. second base; Wagner, shortstop; Zimmerman, Oldring, Campbell and Hyatt, outfield. One can pick a "little" team that probably would win, a tall team the way win, and the big team just as easily.

Jack Veloc, sporting editor of the Indianapolis Times, had the following of Milburn Saylor, of Indianapolis. When Milburn Saylor returns to this country he will be in a position to decide whether Sam will be to offer in the lightweight class. His visit to the Antipodes has so far been a successful one from every angle, and it is every single every boy of any consequence in the land of the kangaroo and without a doubt has learned much from the experience when he returns home. The fact that Saylor has become thoroughly acquainted with the English style of boxing with his youngest friend to him in future bouts. Clean breaks and open boxing are points that the Saylor has youngest friend to master. The good friend that bang is one in which Milburn excels, so his repertoire in the ring is where Ray Branson writes that he intends to throw Saylor's sky-piece into the ring as soon as they return to Milburn. He will be after the tomatomers right off the reel. WHEN ROOSEVELT WON A RING BOUT Former President Never Claimed to Be Champion Heavyweight, But He Won that Title Once—For Another Man. Col. Theodore Roosevelt never claimed to be heavyweight boxing champion, but he won the title once—not for himself. Roosevelt made a champion out of Peter Maher and beat Joe Choynski. Roosevelt was commissioner of New York during the Horton law days, and there was no attendance, and when commissioner of New York did not attend, and when Maher and Choynski were matched in 1896, Roosevelt and I sat together to watch him play. He was there in the box with him and saw him chip Choynski, the toughest lukerighter in the history of the ring, ripping up the "department" from end to end. No erring or grafting "copper" was safe, for none knew as what he did. Peter Maher, the pride of Ireland, was billed to meet Joe Choynski in a boxing club. Not only was "Panther," as he was familiarly called, a great card, but it was figured that he had an exhance of becoming the world's champion. Nasty stories of the crookedness of the affair had got to the Colonel's several times if he was going to allow the contest to take place. To these questions Roosevelt replied, "I can easily tell when two men are not trying honestly when they have gloves on their hands." In that event night the writer, then a youngster, had a chance to study the great statesman. He was a second in the main preliminary bout I had an opportunity of getting in the ring. When the last round was over, the dreaming room I slipped into a vacant box on the righ hand side of the ring and breathlessly awaited the Colonel. He just settled comfortably in a corner of the box when there was a stir and a murmur from the big crowd and an usher said, "You're the best men," and at the same time yanked me by the ear out of the box. "You just stay where you are," told the Colonel to me and the usher let go of my ear. The Colonel's interest was keenly awakened as the fighters climbed Clag, went the gong and both men stepped briskly to the center of the rooftop, with his long left stuck straight out before him. Peter, on the his right arm held high. Both men his right arm held high. Both men sparred and very little damage was done. The Colonel had by this time sngly encoured himself and was interestedly laughing at the bell rang. There was no fiddling or felling when the men met this time. Joe banged his long left arm back with a vicious swing of Choynskis left ear. The punch was a terribly pompous tomple. Choynskis. The force of THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER the blow, however, made Joe quiver. He recovered enough before Maher the latter part of the round he had made the face of Peter cut and bleeding from the visitations of his terrible left. And fourth rounds were terribly hard fought by the Chonynski had Maher on the verge of a knockout. But every time the time was his man, he all in," he would let go with his terrible right and slow up Chonynski. It was in the fifth round that the Colonel's part came. Scarcely 30 seconds were left of the round when Chonynys shit a smash-hat and squirmed the Irishman. Joe follow the punch with a terrific right flush on the ear and Maher sank to the floor. Slowly and with a terrific right flush the seconds that would mean defeat and oblivion to the representative of Ireland, the blue eyes of Maher were half closed and the canvas, Chonynys stood over him with a half smile and through his bloody lips the white of his clenched torsos. The referee called "nine" and in another second Maher would have been counted out—bang, went the bell and the referee called "ten" and As Maher's seconds dragged his prostrate form to his corner a captain of police was seen climbing up the little Irishman's corner. Roosevelt saw him quieter than any man in the arena. Where are you going? he demanded. "Where are you going?" the captain turned and saluted his superior. "I am going to stop this bout," said TOMMY WELSH Will Take Advantage of His Cham pionship—Will Get Rich Before a Return Engagement With Willie, Bitchie Hea No Excuse. Ritchie, however, suffered his defeat philosophically. "I have no ex-cep-tion to believe that I can cleverer man. But I think I can do much better the next time we meet. I lost in 20 rounds, but I am sure I can win. I have no concern." "My greatest concern was to avoid Ritchie's right punch," said the new champion. "He has improved wonder-ble, but he has played safe from start to finish. Now I have taken Willie's measure. I am not afraid to meet him again. Once you have him you have him for life, as a general rule." Must Make 133 Pounds. Harry Pollock, manager of Freddie Washin, has given out a statement which he says will help Ritchie will have the first chance of winning the title back from the Washin. He stipulates first that Ritchie must give Washin the same terms as Welsh conceded Ritchie in the recent Olympic contest, namely, a $15,000 cash gift of the gate receipts and 50 per cent of the gate receipts and $10,000 cash for relinquishing all intensions. In the second place Ritchie must make a $25,000 slot bet. He states he is willing to make three such bets, and he will win at which he won the championship from Wolgast, namely, 133 pounds ringed. He will meet Ritchie in California, accept a California referee and agree that Ritchie shall have a match within six months from the time he will give the stipulations as to purse and side bet. SULLIVAN SAYS NATION WE MUST FREELAND AETICS HS. ENGLAND "You appear surprised when I say that England will finish second in the tournament and that she can be expected to top the field in the big laurels," said Mr. Sullivan. "I mean every word I say. About that report that England will make its last victory in the tournament, quit, that is poppycook, as long as the famous Greek revivals are held you can bank on Great Britain showing. Athletics have taken a brace in that tournament, and I'm going my weeek's stay there. The English champs brought out several aspiring Britons that look awfully good at the international competition, accomplished at the International Federation and Olympic Congress served to bring the continent and America closer together, and England at last won the right tooth and mall to best us at Berlin. Spurred by victories at golf. polo and one or two other sports during the week. He is very highly aroused. He is pleased with his ent crop of champs on the track and wants to conquer the works with them. NEW STYLE OF BALL IS NOW BEING SHOWN Athletics' Double Squeeze in Most Daring and Prettiest of Plays. are teams in the in the major leagues that are pulling new stuff, new players, and new away with them. In fact, there is more real baseball generalship and brain being down this season than for a game. One of the prettiest plays evolved from a game where the squeeze, with runners or second third, with both runners attempting an in one game at Chicago both tallies, with both of Mike Kelley's famous play of olden times, when he used to score from home, who was thrown out at the plate. Display of Speed. The Athletics have worked this play quite often. With runners on second and third, the batter pushes a bunt and runs runners advancing at top speed when the ball is pitched. The runner from third, the batter, the great lead, and turns third, gaining up ahead. If the ball is fielded to the plate, there is a chance to catch the first runner, the bunt, and catcher is sighted on the back of the whisker on the other side of the plate. If the opposing infielders are caught asleep, the ball, both runners will score, as they did in Chicago. Herzog, with the Reds, is preventive, and the ball is to which shall field the plate when a runner is toward the plate. Herzog knows that not one pitcher in ten knows whether to let the ball be caught or catch the ball and shoot back to second to catch the batter who will attempt to take an extra pitch. Herzog knows that he makes all his pitchers go back of the catcher when a hit is made, and Hobilitz comes to the middle of the ball, all balls or decides to let them go. Some New Stuff. Maranville and Evers are playing at a high level, and he is a chief improvement is in Maranville's change of style of passing balls in the backfield. He plays. He used to snap the ball at the second baseman, which is risky. He used to run the ball at speed toward him. Now he scoops it, getting a fraction of a second more speed than infinitely less risk of causing a muff. FOOTBALL MEN TO INVENT NEW PLAYS lowa Players to Be Given Prizes for Original Stunts.

The only conditions are that the play must be an original one, that every man's part in it must be cared for, that the team must bemitted before the first of September.

KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL Diplomas issued by the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute Must Be Approved by the State Superintendent—New Law Gives Superintendent Power to Revoke Them Says the Assistant Attorney General M. M. Logan—Miss Lucy Twyman Representing the Poro System Scalp and Hair Treatment —U. B. F. & S. S. M. T. at Madersonville—Negro Insurance Organized and Doing Sick and Health Business—By Hardin Tolbert, Frankfort, by Special. Hon. Barkesdale Hamlett, Superintendent Public Instruction, the Capital: Dear Sir—In your letter of the 30th year inquire about your right to revoke state certificates granted by the State University, the Eastern and Western Normal and Industrial Institute. Chapter 84 of the Acts of 1914, which chapter amends certain sections of the previous school law, specifically grants certificates to diplomas, subsection 14 of the law permits the right to revoke state certificates and diplomas. Subsection 14 of the law permits the two normal schools of the state, but these certificates can only be revoked by the State Superintendent and may be revoked by him. Subsection 2 of section 4636d. Kentucky Statutes, authorizes the State Superintendent to its students under certain rules and regulations, which authorize the holder thereof to teach in the public school. There is a specific mention of the right of revocation in the Superintendent of Public Schools, to be construed as a whole, and there can be no reason shown why the colored normal school should issue certificates which can not be revoked for no reason, and no such power, so that power. It is clear in my mind that no institution should be the power to revoke any of the certificates which can not be revoked for no reason, and no such power, so that the right to revoke any of the certificates referred to above for cause. The holder thereof would be entitled to receive a certificate of revocation should be set out in a formal charge. Yours truly. Fifty-two issues of the best race journal published for $1.00.
