Thomas Fortune has E Howard University to Open Sept. 29 (By R. W. Thompson.) (Bureau of The Freeman, 1337 Wallach Place, N. W., Washington, D. C.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 9.—Washingtonians who have given the matter appointments in a great deal of thought have begun an agitation for the adoption of a new law requiring the schools of this city. One of the first problems to be solved is the need for a librarian for School No. 2, which place is vacant by reason of the recent marriage of Miss Weaver, a graduate of the School No. 1, quite numerous and a vigorous contest is being waged. The assistant superintendent of the colored members of the Board of Education and others influential in passing upon the question, is seeking the advice of by night by relatives and friends of the candidates. These conditions are leading to a conviction that the most equitable civil service methods and have not the applicants submit to an examination that will fairly test their knowledge. This it is said, will give all an even chance to win merit. Many of the passersby will take the course most likely to insure fair play and one that will give the largest measure of satisfaction to the辛勤 young students. That Mr Bruce will yield to the pressure of those in favor of the merit system and order an examination within The same policy is being urged with reference to the appointment of teachers to the establishment of an eligible list, through regular examinations, with appointments from the list in the order of desirability, that would remove these positions from the domain of patronage and relieve the teachers of the necessary and insinuations of favoritism that have obtained too largely in the past. The present "scramblers" for night school appointments goes without saying and the examination system seems to be working in a way that teachers so saying that teachers employed in the day schools ought not to be able to work at night—that both the needs and the labor should be passed around. There is much to be said in support of the establishment of public school positions and action with reference thereto is apt to be taken at the next meeting of the Board. Roseco Cookling Bruce is Running the Schools. Events are demonstrating to all who need and as they run that Roscoe Conkling, the colorist, will be the public schools of this city. He surrendered his prerogatives to any well-seekers blackmasters or braggartas who may then are able to make him do anything he wants. He set to ask at his hands. Mr. Bruce tact, firmness and intellectual ability will be the position of superintendent his frist year. He will be complicated details, and the people look for him to hold the reins as long as he is a square-toed issue if would be the position of superintendent his frist year. He will not run away with anyone, but will not run away with a square-toed issue if would be the position of superintendent his frist year. He cannot be bull-dozed isolating improper persons into positions he can be blacked, putting him out, or gratify personal spites or unholy ambitions of all this, it is the general belief that the principalship of the O Street Woman's School. J. Moria Saunders will be on the job "until the cows come home." He will be "graves" against him are concerned. Name thing is true of Carn Willem, the capable and efficient principal Training School. Further, the High School will be named for librarian of the very properly. Mr. Bruce declines to make any statements for publication but the records are made up, he will be the principal, he is very much the evidence as the head of the Washington colored schools to those who seek to control him to serve ends will be relegated to the scrap-pile. Some Changes in the Sun. Some radical changes have been made in the management of The Washington Sun. As foreshadowed in our last letter to the Newerman journalist and Nestor of the Newman newspaper, has become editor of the paper and president of The Sun Publishing Company. He is associate editor and treasurer of the organization. J. Finley Wilson, who with Dr. Dennis founder of The Sun last spring, retires to serve will devote his time to another line of business. The Sun has been changed from a six-column newspaper to another line of business. The Sun has been changed from a six-column newspaper to another line of business. In politics The Sun announces right to republican, but reserves the right to independant as to party lines when he becomes the balance. Mr. Fortune continues to break a brief his forty years of active journaling in the field in which he began in 1974 to the field in which he began in 1974. J. W. Cromwell on the People's Journal will sever his editor under that responsibility as a successor, and give his entire time energy to the development of The Sun. 6. Exalted Ruler Nutter in Town.

HARPER, VETERINARY SURGEON A Graduate of the Indiana Veterinary College—Has Had Continued Success—Recognized by City of Indianapolis. The old adage, "There is no royal cradle of education than that afforded by the life of Dr. R. F. Harper, veterinary surgeon," was true. Dr. Harper, the profession, Dr. Harper had the courage and daring to launch his sallup into the world. He entered upon his profession seventeen years ago, there were few colored men in the United States who had a sallup career, or were reeling well. DR. R. F. HARPER. diploma from the Indiana Veterinary College in 1907 he set a precedent in his own State, and set a high water mark from entering the professions which have not been "tried and tested" thoroughly by colored men. There were no guide posts or milestones to blaze the way to the profession set by white men, and yet he was undaunted. Dr. Harper is a native of North Carolina. When thirteen years of age he settled with his sister and brother-in-law in Crawfordville, Ind. He experienced considerable difficulty in his studies, and he was numerative to enable him to pursue his education, as he desired, so he contented himself with waiting table service, from the outset and for board, room and clothing, and attended night school. His progress was from the outset and he succeeded in climbing the spect of his classmates and associates. After graduating from the public school in Crawfordsville, Mr. Harper was named to his career, so he began to work to put by some money in order to fit himself for something the larger part of his earnings from one job, whom he worked eighteen years, and with it he decided to pay his way in the Indiana Veterinary College. There whether he had chosen wisely for up to this time no colored person had ever entered this school. At last all he had to do was to fully pass all examinations for admittance. Once at work he made rapid progress always ranking among the best in his class. In 1887 he was Dr. Harper found after receiving his diploma and hanging out his back in the gym, that he was a winner, that the struggle was yet ahead, that he cope with sharp competition. But nature had cast him in the right and was not ready to take the task. After few years of struggle he came well established and today takes rank among the leading veterinary purposes are many of the wealthiest white families in the city and state. He has his own hospital and is pre-eminent for all kinds of dumb brushes properly. His membership in the Indiana State Veterinary Medical Association and neurology department is other matter. He is regular in his attendance upon the annual meetings and is always accorded a cordial welcomer. Dr. Harper is not one of the prophets "without honor in his own community," for Indianapolis recognizes him as the best man in all his worth as a true Christian gentleman. The city administration recognizes his ability appointed him to work in which position, with special work in which position. to say he made good. He finds time from his profession to attend church and to teach. He is president of his church. He places his home above all other duties and responsibilities. His wife, Mrs Susan Harper, is one of the most famous of the Indianapolis. His interest in their only son, Robert B. Harper, Jr., is ledom equalled in the present age by his wife, Mrs Susan Harper, in straitctions to engage both young and old. Dr. Harper is not only prominent in his profession and church and community, but he is popular in fraternal organizations. He is the founder of Odd Fellows in Indiana. He has filled the positio not permanent secretary of the organization for No. 1486 for several years. For the fourth time he has been a member of the next session which convenes in Boston, September 14. He is treasurer of the Past Grand Masters' Council No. 1486, president of the Indiana Parliarship. He has had opportunity to make a difference of this order throughout the country, and his name is now mentioned for the first time in the country. The reason to believe that this honor will be conferred upon him, as there is no doubt that he is a devoted husband and father, a strong Christian, an efficient veterinary worker, a devoted husband and father, a strong Christian, an efficient veterinary worker, Dr. Harper is one of the property holders of Indianapolis, one of the many who have an honor to the race to which he belongs.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1914. The Progressive party isn't setting any rivers on fire, that's plain. The weather is beautifully bracing Straw hats are struggling to stick but the weather is against them. Any old day, it strikes us, would be a good prayer day for the cessation of the European war. Every day is prayer day, if the Divinity reaches down into the affairs of men. The pen is mightier than the sword. Take the present war for instance. The sword is killing thousands daily. The pen is not only killing thousands, but it is also bringing them to life again. See the daily reports and contradictions of the war's casualties. The physicians, dentists and pharmacists took the city by storm. They came to attend the Tri-States Association meet. After the business sessions and clinics, the city was seen by automobile. A smoker and other social functions were a part of the enjoyment. The campaign is on. The candidates are having some trouble in getting the people enthused. The colored people are finally getting right along the line. They use to stand on their heads at the mention of politics, or a campaign. Now, they just wait until it comes to them, just like the white folks. President Wilson wishes very much to be the instrument through which peace will come about, between the warring nations in Europe. We think he would be pleased to see peace come about by any means. But as President of a leading nation, his slightest wish will be of some influence. The civilized world will give Mr. Wilson the honor and the glory if he succeeds in unlocking the hold of those "war dogs." Col. Roosevelt has returned to New York, after his invasion of Louisiana, on the sugar question. He made many speeches in that state showing why diabetes that commodity should not have been removed. He showed his old time strenuosity by traveling from point to point by all available methods. In his speeches he did not forget to attack the proposed payment of $25,000,000 to Colombia, owing to the canal zone controversy. He is very logical in defending the acts of own administrations. It is a pleasure to know that that our publication is so widely read and that its contents is noted. Mr. Bush is right in principle in hauling the Governor over the coals. We think we have done some hauling ourselves. It may be that we have not done it just like Mr. Bush, of Paris, would have us do it. But we live in America and not in France. Time and experience has taught us that nothing is sacrificed in being diplomatic in speech. In the last issue of this publication we said: "Governor Blease, of South Carolina, went down in his candidacy for United States Senate, and he said that he thought very poorly of the Constitution under certain conditions. He was very much in favor of the people in general regardless of the section. The concensus of opinion was that the constitution should prevail over the laws and the people in general an executive head of a state he committed to reconcile himself with the people by would-be heroic utterances about the superiority of blood-race and forthrightness, which meant the striking down of the laws and land. He irritated the people by his constitutive, anathema. True enough, he let a lot of men out of prison, sowing an abnormal quality of democracy, and could not outweigh his peculiar badness. When the ballots told their tale the other senators were outraged. The Senator of the State of South Carolina. Our utterances long before this, immediately after the incident, were in a similar vein. If "The Lexington Herald," white, chooses to refer Governor Blease as a foul blot, and a such like, that's its affair. We are well satisfied when it comes to the negro question that the "air" is thick with Bleses, too thick to be comfortable. The white people were not so much wrought up on our account as the gentleman of Paris seems to think. They opposed to a Governor Bling a stand against government. In going this, he committed the greatest political breach known to the history of the country, and which was only paralleled by those governors of the 60's, of the South. When those men, the governors of the Southern states, repudiated the general government, at Washington, they meant war. Logically, Blease's attitude was the very same; he refused to be bound by the general Constitution, thus theoretically rebelling. The white people are strong for governmental principles. They will not stand for their direct repudiation. In a round about way the negroes may be defeated of what they have been fighting for direct proclamation or declaration that strikes down the principles of our government. We hope the gentleman of France will see the difference. We hope he will see that whatever salvation came to the negroes was an incident—justice that comes to men, sometimes through the quarrels of men. TALKING BLEASE IN PARIS, FRANCE. A colored man residing in Paris. France, a reader of The Freeman, writing from that city, August 20th, takes issue with an editorial, seen in this publication, referring to Governor Blease of South Carolina. Owing to the unusual thing of having an individual at such a distance manifest interest in what The Freeman says we reproduce the editorial which appeared several weeks ago: "Governor Colb L. B. Liesse, of South Carolina, is a mixed blessing; he is a strange compound of good and bad. He would to hell with the constitution, but he would not. Yet he is emptying the prison of his state. Here is his strange preachment to the man of mine or to me. I have no apology to make for a single parole commutation or parodon that have granted him the right to the court, and whoever objects to that isn't a Christian, but a plain hypocrite. If all the men guilty of the crime have granted them places might be removed to prison cells, in my opinion there will be more souls lost through hypocrisy than through all the wrongs." "You hear from your pupil, 'help the heathen' but when one helps a fellow countryman and attends him, he another man in life the same people yell, 'Pardoning too many people.' That has nothing to do with what thing, but that has nothing to do with his heart. A man that feels deeply for the unfortunate of mankind may be set down as a bad man." The colored man, a Mr. Bush, had this to say: "In the editorial, in question, you quoted Blease's defenses of the wholesale, pardoning of prisoners in South Carolina, and in conclusion you stated that "Any man who believes in helping fallen humanity can be classed at—well, not as a bad man." Now in the introduction of your article you say, "Although he would to hell with the Constitution," in order to keep the races apart. Pray tell me gentlemen, how shall we class a man who when taking his oath of office, swears to govern his people according to the laws and Constitution of his country, and therefore offspring of him, to satisfy the devilish spirit of prejudice, of which he is a part, he will to hell with the very Constitution which he has solemnly sworn before God and man to uphold. My dear gentlemen, your tribute to such a man, even though it was even so slight, in my opinion was as fully misapplied and coming from a colored journal, edited by our able journalists, was an injustice to the race. Following you may read an extract from an ediiteral of The Lexington, "white paper," and study their opinion of the man whom you commended. "South Carolina was a glorious state, South Carolina is a gorious state, but by all that's holy, the good people of South Carolina ought to take hold of their state government. The impossible Blease is a blot on the splendid history of the Palmetto state. Those who follow his lead deserve, as they will in time receive, the condemnation of the better people of the South, irrespective of color," etc. A man may go to church every Sunday of his life, pray every night and morning of the day, and give half of what he has to the poor. But if he has a weakness for one sinful vice, which he practices, the good which he does is discounted and he is classed as a sinner in spite of it all. So who devote their time to keeping down a people who are struggling to rise, are all bad men and the good is not in them. A NEW JOURNAL; ITS OPPOR TUNITY. The Kappa Alpha Nu Journal, a publication by the fraternity of that name, of the State University at Bloomington, Indiana, has been received at this office. The number before us is a splendid reminder of what those young men are doing in that institution; in fact, what they are doing as college men in the state of Indiana. The publication reaches out; it seeks to instil a greater and more peculiar spirit for college works, to inspire Negro college men everywhere and the higher education cause. In the days gone by much of the new and helpful thought that was current in the outer life emanated from the great schools. They were intellectual centers, thought foundations, serving as a great civic heart, pumping life-giving principles into the sluggish, inert mass channels. In a way Cambridge and Oxford were as formidable as the parliament of England. In our own day the schools have not had such great influence. The general diffusion of knowledge has reduced the necessity. However, now and then, the college gets in its work, and as was so noted in the last presidential campaign, when political heresies had to be fought down by abler men than those that sought to pronounce them. A few days ago the president of the University of Michigan thundered, and righteously, against the recall of the decisions of judges, insisting that it meant the saddling on people a responsibility that they are not prepared to cope with. Had there been no Princeton there would have been there, he, from his high seat for the exhorted as surely as a Zeus on the civic wrongs, irregularities and inconsistencies. Knowledge, true enough, has spread, is common; but that means a higher and more complex citizenship, meaning further, that eminent doctors are needed at times to straighten out the tangled skein. We might also mention Dr. Booker washing, and who really comes nearest to the schools of the past. He finds it fitting and necessary to spread great truths owing to the infancy of his race. The young colonel'1 men of the State University of Indiana, perhaps, are not so ambitious as the foregoing suggests. But the splendid issue, with its splendid salutatory, is in keeping with the thought. The race needs that higher forum of thought where men speak for what is best, since they are not hampered by thought of their existence—their daily bread. We know enough influences that tie us down to mean conditions. We will never have too many buoys to hold us up. So there's a fine opportunity for colored college men to take an advanced place In helping the general conduct of the race. It is plain that whatever of such help comes will come from within the race. The proposition, we think, is not debatable. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever," so goes an Old saying. The Kappa Alpha Nu Journal is a thing of beauty, mechanical beauty; and hand in hand with the spiritual contents. One is struck at the very beginning by the deep seriousness when it says: "With the issuance of this Journal a new departure is made in the realm of College Fraternalism among Negro college men. For, so far as the editors are aware, no similar publication has ever before appeared. Kanna Alpha Nu has ever been a pioneer and blazer of paths in all things pertaining to progress. For instance, it was the first Negro Greek Letter Fraternity to be incorporated; it was the first to maintain a really modern and commodious fraternity house; and its social functions have been uniquely pronounced in the most hospitable and charming in the country. It is thereore with a pardonable pride that we add this new laurel to the long list of achievements that have been won in the past." The staff of the publication are: Frank M.

Less than Ten Centes a Month We are glad to hear our readers from far and near continue to say that The Freeman is a great person to earth. It makes the management of the paper feel that its efforts to produce a creditable journal devoted to the study of the earth are crucially by the portion here in the United States—have been appreciated and not made in vain. When those whom you read are pleased, so it is with The Freeman Publishing Company. It is pleased. But its pleasure is not to the uttermost. It is not the largest circulated colored paper. Why it is not is no mystery or secret. As our circulation manager puts it: "We want more of the race pleased with our work." It is not a question of us making a readable, interesting and spicy news publication, but a question (and in the lifetime of The Freeman) thousands of honest comments and congratulations for giving to the public the information we need. Why the question is: Why do not more of our people read The Freeman? and incidentally, we might say: Why do not more of our people read the papers devoted to their best interests?

BILL LINDSEY'S RECORD Stood Among the Five of America's Greatest American Celebrities When the Series (By Cary B. Lewis.) (Special to The Freeman) CHICAGO, Ill. Sept. 8.—"BILL" Lindsay is dead. One of the five greatest baseball pitchers in America was Lindsay. He came from a family of ball players. He was a member of the family and each knew the game. Downed in the city of Lexington, Mo., where he was born, the nine brothers played, the father sold the tickets, the report here. Lindsey knew all the ins and outs of ball playing. He was not only a player but a mother in the 300 class. Mr. Lindsey came to this city in the year of 1909, playing with the Kansas City队. In 1910, joined the Lincoln Giants and after the split he went with "Rube" Foster and the American Giants. Every fan in Chicago remembers with pride the late "Rube" Lindsey. He was nounced that he was to take the mound. The record made by the Amer-icans was that Mr. Foster the day he died, said: "I have lost a great ball player, a fine gentleman Charles Chapel.

The second and single gave the Royal Giants their first count, and Lyons came home with the second on a single, steal, error and a second steal of the home base in the ninth.

Tim E. Owsley, Proprietor The Crown Garden Theater seems to be taking on new life. The attendance is much better than was a few weeks ago, and the course is happy. The backward attendance of a few weeks ago, perhaps, was due to the fact that the colored theater patrons are learning to go to the playhouses in cool weather only. The bills have been good; some of the bills are good; the bill this week is good as a whole. A few features stand out, thus the bill this week. Stewart brothers, who close, are a big hit, also Hendricks and Lee. Thos. Melton is standard in his act. Johnson and Rector are classy entertainers. Dance, Talk Marie Hendricks and Helen Lee are a pair of young performers who are a longtime comedienne, now but eighteen years of age. Her work, her steps and her laughter, is as much fun as or those of any of the old line of performers. This accomplishment, with her youth, makes her a big goer. Her work, the dance movements are well done, the Crown Garden patrons. Miss Lee as comedienne suits this part of the work they enter singing "This Is the Life," a number that makes a hit from the show. "This Is the Life Dream" in a pleasing style. Miss Lee songs "What It Takes to Make You Love Me—Ive Got It." She had a longtime relationship with the International Rag. All through their work is refreshing Thos. Melton's act, the Tramp Musician, may be called a standard act. He plays the piano, the theater, Whenever he comes the theater are glad to see him. He plays on varvarious instruments, most of which he has played. He plays the piano, the dle, a tin bucket and the bottle chimes. All is good, especially the work on his positions. Among his selections was the beautiful "Misère." He was appalled to his comedy and for his musicianship. Rector and Johnson are a pair of good guys, and has in their work. Their jokes are well put over, also their songs and dances. The Stewart Brothers, who close the show, are the comedian, got em shouting. Their line of talk is as great as has been produced. Kid Bishop made good in his songs and buck dancing. Going to subscribe sometime? Why not now? SEEING THE 101 RANCH SHOWS.

As usual, the people of every variety, all intent on seeing what the offering was to be. The parade was interesting—the youth are excited and lighted. The schools have taught much concerning the red men; their courage as warriors is nowhere they are away from the west. It is the dream of youth to see these people in the flesh. They wish them to live, and seem to prefer to live, illized and speak English, but no one would suspect it by the way they appear. The girls were the same as Hawthauna again, the men were as Hawthauna again, the men were as Powhattan or Red Deer or Sitting Bull, there was still a middle and younger class of women, making for a complete variety of those interesting people. As these passed in review they seemed so much history, romance, and adventure, men, mute as sphinxes, seemed as living monuments of their race. Beaufort, the man who thought one thought of the wooing of Minnehaha 'way up in the land of the Dacotahs. In the main show there they were, the dancers, the tendens to make Indian history vivid. The game, the dance, the riding, marks girls and the older ones also were interested in the cowboy, those daredevils, as we have learned to think of them. The picture shows. Some were even handsome just as the pictures have them. The cowgirls are considered prizes by the men and the always admired.

Under the Lesser White Tops. I had the pleasure of meeting L. K. Baker, the conductor of the band and the minstrels which were seen in the host, a delight to meet. I took my first meal with him under a white top. Everything was good, fresh and plentiful. The minstrels up ahead, K. Baker, conductor, Bernard C. Wilson, solo cornet; Alex. N. Parker, first cornet; Elmancarlo; choral; Chas. B. Baker, bass; and alto; Frank Washington, first trombone; Wm. Nash, second trombone; J. L. Holmes, snare drum and traps; Wm. Polk, bass drum. The music was commented on generously, the players are efficient, the total hardy with the conductor in the effort to do their best. The players were good and enjoyable. The great crowds of colored and white people were kept laughing all of the time. Some of the white brethren also were good and enjoyable. To see them laugh—men who had not laughed heartily for a long time. This fun was mostly due to Sam Ford and J. L. Holmes. Ford told good jokes in a good style, also put over some good songs. Nash dancing and told some very funny ones. Both are clever men. A full-blooded Indian is among the band men. Interlocutor Chas. Brown also put on a few tinking stunts. This is the second season for Baker as conductor. By his gentlemanly qualities he has won the whole-hearted regard of his men and the respect of the show people in general. A wave of his men the open sesame—the sign of admission. John A. Smith, who assists Princess Wenona, the Indian woman, the crack rifle shot, has been with her seven years. They have been with this show since 1995. He wounded an ant, moulds the balls used by the princess and others. The princess is a Sloux. Ford sang "Send Me My Overcoat." Nash sang "Way Back Home." The band sang "I'm caught 'em just right, the white folk and the colored folk. Brown sang "Way Down in Dixie Land." The side shows were highly interesting. The three-legged child is among the wonders. May-Joe, as she was Hilda, the female Raffles, who can come out of a locked trunk. Anita has the reputation of having the largest bo constrictor in captivity. And she fondles the monkey. Met Geo. Connor, the senior manager, the school teacher, Mr. Connor knew elwid C. Knox, manager of The Freeman, to whom he sent his regards. Raising the woman by hypnotism got clean past all. Seout, the artist, thought he saw the kink. But he didn't and gave it up. There was Captain Claude, the little girl who was the great big woman. Affinities do sometimes run to the extremes. The big lady of 470 pounds had nothing to give on matrimonial lines—marriage, perhaps, would be uncomfortable to her. The Indian village was pleasant and serene. A real pretty Indian girl.was among the attractions. She seemed to be a little girl. Bucks would make a fuss over her in her native wilds. The other two mesmames were as placid as a meadow—kindly, matronly. They were weaving. The tattooed man, George, was a living picture gallery. His chief occupa- tion was to help himself as possible. The magician and juggler were also present, adding galley to the nations, as it were. B. L. Don't delay it any longer. Subscribe now, you can take advantage of our dollar rate.

THE MOVING PICTURE CRAZE—LABOR DAY'S OFFERINGS BRING PRAISE AND CRITICISM. The "Movie" contest has declared war upon vaudeville houses and yet vaudeville will live. The Phoenix gave the most noted picture of the day, viz. the ball game, by the William Foster Film Company, not incorporated, and colored. Foster is a fellow who does business well for the moment. Features of his picture were Rube Foster, the ball player, bowie bouquet for mayor R. R. Jackson, H. R. Roberts, William Randolph Cowan, distinguished politicians. The line-up and game controllers, Bartenders and cafe waiters, Foster's long suite, were seen in abundance. The states had "Class Mates"; the Lincoln had "Detective Craig's Coups"; the Washington had "Trey of Hearts" in the Alaska and Fountain are doing nicely. The Pekin opened with eight regiment soldier pictures but colored people are not used to turn out for race loyalty unless they get a first-class show or good pictures. Two Detectives at the New Monogram—Murphy and Montgomery in the All White Show at the Grand—Butler and Johnson. Last Week's Hit. New Features at the Monogram Thomas and Ward were the artistic features at this house but Gulfport and Nugent were the comedy screamers who were the stars to Miss Nugent, in black face unnecessarily, who did a splendid dance. Tootsie Delk, in blackface was not comedic, but the Dorsey and Lazzo made their first team visit here and captured in their dancing finish, of a singing act.

The New American Theater a Success. The second and third weeks of the New American Theater's sylvania avenue, indicate that this pretty playhouse has caught the fancy of the best people of the capital. The fact that the place was once a playhouse is the right of in view of the radically changed conditions that obtain there now. New people are now living in the place of the old and all is going as merry as a marriage bell. As the American, even before the advent of theater, the playhouse catered to the most refined classes of whites and the former patrons that knew the Lyceum or Kernan's as a center for the most cultured to other fields for amusement. Maintaining the best of order at autumes, Manager Thomas and Dudley have been the hands of Washington's most cultured colored citizens, and will continue in their good graces as long as they are involved in the enterprise and resourceful gentlemen, and in offering to Washington's 100,000 colored people, restricted in their participation, to a temple of high class theatrical entertainment, they are solving a problem that inures alike to the benefit of the public, to the increasing line of the race, and to the management, itself. With the American "down-town," and the Howard "up-town," the colored theater-goers of this section of the city were the audience themselves admirably served in the matter of stage diversion. Tom Brown's unique before-the-curtain speech Monday night brought to the attention of a nice.

The statement that there would be tabloid productions of the old comedy successes of Williams and Walker, Cole and John Alda Overton, the best Hogan and others brought down the house. With the Players. That standard team, McCarver, Reed and Howard, and they have lost none of their power to please.

Martin and Motley's Musical Comedy Company, now in their third week, will be performing at the U Street Theater, packing the house nightly, through three shows. Every performer pulls as if the entire production is a result of the sketches, songs and features are equal to anything seen in the big road shows—all done in tabloids. Motley gives a natural-born comedian and Miss Rosa Motley gives him strong support in the soprano, like those of Miss Motley, Hilarie Friend and Rosetta Shanks, together with their lively dancing, never too loud. The well-balanced aggregation are Lester Dishman, Emma Brown, Daisy Brown and Fred DeBotts, James L. Johnson, and the worthy successor to the reducible Lew Henry, and the performers all like him, genius and hardworking business method. William Hogklinen, Mr. Dudley's road staff, is helping out while his chief is giving his personal attention to the interests of the New American. The live-wife Hill Sisters are held at the trystry's Gold Mine Chelsea Theater, Murphy and Walker, those true-to-nature and Ardome, "Hambone" Jones and Virginia Listen are resting this week.

The opening was a foretime for the curtain to rise upon the initial performance of the Smart President, the theatre was crowded to capacity with the elite of Washington. Judge Terrill, of national repute, and the president, D. E. C. Coney. Other representative American citizens who occupied boxes were, R. W. Thompson, celebrated journalist and author of the Washington Bee and conspicuous for his prominence in national affairs appertaining to the colorate race; Dr. R. W. Beckley, Mr. "Booty" Anderson and party, Mr. W. W. Mason, Mr. Mack Nicholas, Mr. Ed Miles and J. Finley Jason, propagator of the Washington Sun. Mr. Rufus Byars, manager of the Howard Theater, was loudly applauded for his appropriate speech to welcome him. The theater, the policy theater, stating that it was a theater for the people, and that the managers were confident that the washingtonsians would enter the entire port. The theater will play only high class attractions and refined vaudeville. Regular vaudeville prices will prevail in theaters of the ushers, dressed in white linen which blended harmoniously with the white and gold decorations of the theater, won approval by a pedicottish handling of the large crowd. The continued applause and frequent peals of hilarious laughter gave evidence "His Excellency" a pedicottish audience" met of the large crowd. Concensus of opinion places this season's show ahead of last season's production. Mr. Wilson, a Washington boy, lead the orchestra, while Trevor L. Corwell directed the chorus. The combination was a happy one that carried the music through opening percussion and string. Lew Henry has a wide knowledge of the scenery behind the scenes. His skillful handling of the stage crew made it possible to run without hitch. He is Lew Henry. THE LYRIC STOCK COMPANY KANSAS CITY, MO. HAGENBECK & WALLACE NOTES. (By Staff.)

In fact, Lowery introduced minstrelsy in the 1950s, and the institution of having the best show of the kind. The members of his company have been with him for several seasons and have been a part of the stage they are also as genial as he. The Professor holds his own as the leading cornetist among colored musicians. THE TENNESSEE JAZZ ORCHESTRA PROF, P. G. LOWERY, WITH HAGEN-BECK-WALLACE SHOWS. The knowledge of the fact has not swelled him a bit. He is the same plain, genial, awful Lowery. He has won many friends throughout the country, which has contributed largely to the success of his department. We here in Indianapolis think of him at once at the mention of the Hagenback-Vallace shows. When he took in the Cincinnati show, he was Junk Edwards and wife and others. He was greatly appreciated by the performers and Mr. Owley, the proprietor. He extended courtesies at the show grounds at Elwood C. Knox and other Indianapolis friends.

He knows very well that Jack Johnson had a man of great prospect in front of him, after he cleaned up. But the colored man had a beating weakness.

CAN GO TWENTY ROUNDS IN NEW ORLEANS-WALTER L. COHEN INTERESTED IN THE BOXING GAME. New Orleans, La. Walter L. Cohen, writing to The Troman, says: have the only colored club in the very good we have been having some of the other clubs, we found that it is not a good proposition to give a guarantee.

BLACK BOXERS LOECE COIN. McVey, Langford and Jean ette Knocked Out of Money. It is evident that the plans of the faction have quarted the fighters—Johnnette安特·曼格ford and Janetette安特·曼格facing to the breaking out of the Europeans. These four boxing had planned a tournament and McVey had traveled all the way to Australia—14,000 miles to get into the money, only to find he had landed in Australia at time of the other side tells of the Guns of the quartet as follows: arrival of Sam McVey from Australia and the promised visits of Sam Langworthy shall be blessed with the company of the famous colored quartet, who must surely possess the heavy-weight crown of a vaudeville stunt at a number of halls on the outskirts of London, and is stated to be drawing big houses. A vaudeville stunt is, I am told, a certainty. The mysterious Mr. Moffatt, who, I suspect, represents Johnson his oft demanded $1,500 lose or draw, so Jack claims, while he is to get $1,500 and a privilege of 20% this clash is to take place no one seems to know beyond the fact that it is to be London. Perhaps. Langford is scheduled to be here for Olympia, London in September for a purse of $10,000, and all arrangements at once. Johnson seems to be looking for one more big purse, and I believe that will be his last one, for the first big man he meets will beat him sure." WAR ENDS BOXING BOOM IN ENGLAND. Elaborate Program Had Been Art Elaborate Program Had Been Among Among Amateurs and Progression The war abroad has upset the elaborate scheme for a season of amateur and professional bouts far more ambi- tted than tempted by the British promoters. Several new boxing stadiums were under construction, the money raised for ticket privileges. In fact, there was every indication of a boom in boxing which would necessitate a firm hand- on the situation by those who have controlled the sport. This will end the National Sporting Club had arranged to co-operate with the army and now toward the formation of a national champion to supervise all reputable matches. The control moard, had it been formed and official officials and officials should judgment could not be appealed from. A ban would also have been put on the kidney punch and the sparring on the back of the neck, which detracts from than add to the science of boxing. Dishonest promoters would have been denied recognition. The late boxing champion, who had chance to foist ridiculous matches on the public, and the real sport element felt that something should be done to boxing on a clean, sportsmanlike basis. JOE WOLCOTT WON'T TELL HIS AGE—BEEP IN THE TWEN- TIME TEVEN-YEARS Little Joe Wolcott claims to have fought a longer roster career than any other. He ring boxer, but not a boxer. But he tells us age usually. But his tongue was loosened recently when he met an old acquaintance, why. I began to fight away back in 1887, when I was 16" he boasted. "And I had a fight last week, even if the ring commission doesn't know about it." So Joe has fought twenty-seven years, his possible rival is Kid McCoy, who matched to meet Charley McCoy, California's former ring career twenty years. Jack (Twin) Sullivan began bowling them over seven rounds. Wolcott is far past his prime. At his best he made only 133 pounds and stood 5 feet 2 inches. But he knocked Chovyski in seven rounds, Chovyski in seven rounds, Dan Creedon in one round. Wild Bill Hanranahan in Sam Langford in fifteen rounds, and won from George Gardner in twenty. There were many heavyweights who could accept his challenge, among them Rayey, Rubin, Fitzsimmons and Corbett. But Wolcott was twice beaten by Kid Lavigne, who was not heavier than he.

It looks as if another great runner has been developed in Dismond, the colored freshman of Chicago University, who ran a quarter mile in a A.U. championships. He may prove a successor to J. B. Taylor of the University of Pennsylvania, who died several years ago. Packey McFarland, Chicago pugilist, and Mrs. McFarland, his bride of a few months, returned to American on October 25, 1914. They started on a world tour, but were stopped at Yokohama and forced to abandon the trip on account of the war. They returned to day to return to their home in Illinois. NEGRO BOY Among the Promising Quarter-Mile Runners of America. NEW YORK—Should there be such a thing as an international athletic clash between the two teams, it will not need to worry a single bit about the showing his sons will make in the 400-meter Olympic champion-turned-quarter-mile distance. With Ted Meredith, of the University of Pennsylvania, and Tom Halpin, of the Boston A. A., they are coming youngsters capable of getting inside of 50 seconds, the United States of America is indeed well prepared to maintain its supremacy in the "quarter." Quite the most promising of the young quarterbacks from Richmond Va., named THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Binga Dismond, who now represents the University of Chicago. It was this boy who won the "440" championship conference meet, looking over his shoulder 48-3-5 seconds. Western athletic critics state without reserve that Dismond is another John S. Taylor as regards his ability to maintain that his performance at the Conference games was not the limit of his capability over the quarter-mile distance. Dismond is an orphan. His father was a physician in Richmond and his mother was the daughter of a promiscuous girl. Before going to Chicago University Dismond attended the Richmond Union University, a Baptist school for colored boys, for years, and it was there the first show and signs of becoming a cinder-pathster.

We have toured the state of Illinois and we are soon to enter Indiana and scouting them to the very last extent.

Now I guess this means that we are the primary class of colored shows in the city, and we take all encores they receive. Mr. B. Gibson is as funny as they make them. The primary class of colored shows is every one dances. We have a dance with no one company except himself. Mr. Luke Galvin is certainly some Dinah.

VULGARITY IN THE PROFESSION Vulgarity is the crying evil of the vaudeville stage. Some managers and audiences a whole dread it and endure a performer resorts to it to raise a laugh and get a hand at what has to response to what has to offer. Without the injection of salacious suggestions their act would scarcely serve to save them from goofing up, and with dialogue and songs that have no significance and purpose beyond pleasing the low minded and the silly, who should be judging between wit and vulgarity. This class of performers keeps the standard profession far below what should be expected, and element which detracts more than it adds to a very enjoyable style of en RICHARD AND PRINGLE'S MIN- STRELS.

H. Mayo Made and Extensive Tour of the East—National Grand Master of the Mosaic of America in the City. (By Hardin Tohbert Burden of the Freeman, Both Phone 666, Box 233. For the first time in the history of Kentucky an organization known as the Fraternal Congress was launched. Louisville News has this to say: There is to be a new Fraternal Congress composed of representatives from all the fraternal organizations in the State of Kentucky, the State of Missouri, the State of Record and Seals of the Knights of Pythias, is responsible in a measure for this very important meeting. Durant said that the number of bills were introduced and it was by strenuous work that they were delegated. It is not known by many per cent. in State of Kentucky the meetings of the officers of all the grand lodges were held in Frankfort and that an attorney was employed in order to obtain the necessary enacted. It is very necessary that some one will keep an eye on bills that are launched in Frankfort, also of the city news that are being constantly enacted. Prof. Wm. H. Mayo, principal of the Prof. Wm. H. Mayo, principal of the three decades, and his daughter, Miss Selena F. Mayo, head of the Domestic Department, have made an extensive tour of the north and east. He had the pleasure of visiting theians, and many of his former pupils, by whom they were highly entertained. Much elated over their vacation trip, ready to assume their work again on the job, they have been in the doors of the Clinton Street High School opened with a large attendance. Prof. Wm. H. Mayo will be in full in the Frankfort Star. Prof. E. E. Reed, former dean of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, gave his resignation as dean of this institution to accept a lucrative position as principal of the Bowling Green Mathematics and for seven years specialized in this particular science. He is considered by the best educators in the country to be the most colored man of the most brilliant man on his race. He was highly recommended by the State Board of Education to the state board of the deducted institutes this summer and among the largest was in Christian schools the largest number of teachers enrolled in the dactic, conservative address at the courthouse at Hopkinsville to over five hundred white and colored citizens. He was treasurer of the Corinthian Baptist State Teachers' Association. The Bowling Green school had one of the most successful openings in the epoch of his congratulations to the young educator. Peter S. Dent, employed in the post-office department at Indianapolis, Ind., whose signature appeared as the author of the Weekly News, with the headline "An Attempt to Mislead the Public; State Normal Diplomas Again Discussed; Superintendent Hamlet Distributes Letters to the Tailor"; and Logan, 55 says the superintendent has a right to revoke the diplomas with a charge. Dent is one of the idle men of once Sam and has plenty of time to make his mark in the Indianapolis, Kentucky State Normal. This parasite character came over here to look after the students in the Indianapolis, Ind. Ledger. He pooled his dancing master. He gave a private dance at the park. Including himself in the dance, he went on to help He went on Normal Hill and filled his stomach with country food. Then he became yellow journal correspondent and wrote three issues of his "hash," perhaps with a little monaker. Watch for the sig-naler. "I am not" and wonder who is the real author. The Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute opened in September 2. The Institute opened in the scene was a very successful opening taking a consideration the large amount of publicity, both good and bad, which has helped the school on the boys and girls. He introduced his new faculty by having each one to rise as he called the name: Prof. James Doe, the Preparatory Department; Dr. D. L. Lawson, the mestic science teacher has not appeared on the scene at this writing. An unwise step was taken when the doors were opened and the met with a serious accident when the Shaw auto ran into her, fracturing two of her ribs and putting a large pivey on the back of her head and neck.
