Last week a fairly large crowd of colored men met at Emanuel A. M. E. church in answer to a call made sometime ago by Dr. C. L. Fisher, temporary check of the building. The purpose of this meeting was to permanently elect necessary officers for the organization and hear brief addresses from several distinguished groups. A great number of young men and enthusiasm and the laying of a solid foundation for the moral, mental and spiritual unlift of the men of this wicked city. In an extemporaneous talk, Dr. E. T. Belsaw, who was scheduled to speak, packed a grist of important facts into a ten minute speech. It was an evident delight to every one present that he was prominent and who informed his own address of the body. Dr. Wm. F. Brown has an assured place in the affection of Mobile's citizenry, who is ever ready to hear his words of the story of the man. His message was delivered with all the forcefulness of a great body and a great heart. What he said made an impression because he convinced his hearers that the civilized men found the information of the order to grow and bring about the proper results—too, there was a man behind the argument. He dealt seriously with a real issue of life, and what he told him was the order of life. He was to value the who heard the message. Dr. M. H. Leath, pastor of Emanuel church, was asked to make a few changes in the way it is a fact that men with trained minds should direct movements for betterment of mankind, to completely abandon the idea of accommodation was a secret for success. He said, men were quickly reached through their appetite and recognition as important factors in anything of which they are a part, which ought not necessarily be yet to strengthen them even further. They are invited to eat and allowed a chance to express themselves. Dr. R. F. Griffin, the Haitian consul, expressed a desire to address the men at whatever time they see fit, upon some philosophy and military officers were elected and a program committee was appointed to arrange a high-class program on the third Sunday in Emanuel church on the third Sunday in the benediction was pronounced by Dr. J. F. Griffin and the organization in their yell, "Second Timothy Two Fifteen." BOZEMAN. MONT. Henry Rogers, the Bozeman Hercules, knocked out Mr. Wood here on Monday. He was joined by Lodge.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Young Men's Co-operative Club held its annual banquet Wednesday night, March 3, at the Bethlehem House on Cedar street. Dr. Phillips was the guest of honor, and by special invitation delivered a most eloquent and thoughtful address of "Race Appreciation." About 75 members were present, consisting of young men from the city and local universities. The young doctor was frequently applauded and his address was pronounced the most racial and practical ever presented to the club. A most toothsome menu was served and the banquet was a most brilliant example of "good fellowship." Dr. Phillips is the younger son of Bishop Phillips, who also has another son, Dr. C. H.

William Harmon, of Hagerstown, Md., who recently died, left an estate valued at $75,000. He was a Pullman porter. That accounts for it. It will pay Giles B. Jackson to give a little more publicity to his exposition movements. What's been going on, anyhow? We have been asked, but for the life of us we have not been able to give a satisfactory answer. As might have been expected, a colored man was in the Terre Haute election mixup. And as it might have been expected, he played a rather despicable part, if one can think of such a thing as degrees of despicableness. He said that he was promised gambling privileges by the chief of the police for his part in the dirty work. His allotment was risky enough, but it's very likely that his punishment will be sure and certain. If Dr. Booker T. Washington and the National Business League have spread their Health Week influence as they did in Indianapolis they can rest assured that they have had come to pass the most popular thing of a similar kind ever suggested by them or any other person or persons. The school children are saying this week, that Booker T. Washington has ordered the colored people to clean up; and they are not standing on the order; they are cleaning up. Such simplicity; and it is needed in the world—such simplicity. If they do not think he has so much authority, nevertheless, they believe something, enough to carry out the "order" willingly and cheerfully. He should feel proud of his unknown enthusiasts. Why Everybody Should Read The Cuban Congressman, Jose D'Estrammes, says that the President is in favor of the Johnson-Willard contest for the heavyweight championship. He will attend the fight with his family and members of the cabinet. He will buy his seats, and not be guests of the management. That sounds "purty" to all of us colored folk. Not because Jack Johnson is who he is, so much, but because Jack Johnson is a woman. One couldn't help get away from that Cain and his selling if he followed the fortunes of the Negro champion. We are satisfied that the President of Cuba knows all about Mr. Johnson and his troubles—victimities. It is even said that the President put a little bet of a hundred dollars on the champ. The News of Dallas, Texas, says that if the entire population of the world resided in Texas there would be only an average of ten persons to the acre. It is estimated that the population of the world is 1,000,000,000 Texas has 265,780 square miles. And yet one Adam Smith, political economist, talked about the time when the world's population would encroach dangerously on the domain of food supply. It may come, but the time is simply unthinkable, especially in these days of skyscrapers. Such danger as coal exhaustion and forest extinction do threaten, but never that of gassing. One reads with delightful speculation about one of the cestle while "seven wonders of the world," the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the reputed work of either Queen Semiramis or Nebuchadnezzar, thinking what our modernists could do along the line if driven to it. No, sir; we will never starve for the want of garden room. We can go on up. The Chicago exposition management is being fought to a standstill by men in Chicago who ought to be interested in making it go. Maybe we are strong on that word—men. We know that the management is being fought by a publication; and it may be that one but man. With a newspaper behind him, however, makes him as formidable as an army with banners. We are not onto the merits of the quarrel. We know that the publication is interested in seeing that no more money come into the hands of the management than what it has got. Strange! Yet the publication may know what it is talking about. However, it seems to wish to charge crookedness before the fact. If we are not mistaken, the legislature of Illinois has given $25,000, not a great sum, for a great exposition. There may be other funds. If not, the management will have to cut the garment according to the cloth. Especially built buildings are not necessary. Chicago has splendid buildings, sufficient for our exhibits, whatever they may be. It is reasonable to think that the exposition will do some business and thus help in the way of expenses. At a recent meeting of the Cosmopolitan Civic League of Pittsburgh, Pa., it was agreed that the organization would assist in the effort to get an Equal Rights Bill through the legislature of that state. Pennsylvania has been secure for all of these years THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER against the little civil tyrannies that so many of us know about in other states. It has been immuned. Finally, the tide has reached there, and consequently the colored people are fighting like mad for their civil lives. Associations of all kinds are interested in the fight—churches, fraternal organizations, women's clubs, and so forth. The effort is worth while. No people should sit idly by and see their rights fit from them, especially when so recently enjoyed. It is a travesty on our civil status to know that in spite of our expansion in every direction, we must yet see the narrowing circles of inhibition. We, of course, can not get away from the fact that we are making material progress. It is something. But to be content with a reduced citizenship fairly equals resigning it as a whole; for who would say where the reduction would end? The Pittsburghers are right in their fight for political existence. EDITOR TROTTER. William Monroe Trotter, who jumped into fame by getting back at President Wilson, will be in Indianapolis next week, according to program. Doubtless he will be greeted by many who wish to see the man who had the nerve. As it concerns us, we have not changed our mind about exploiting the incident. And to be fair to Mr. Trotter in his recent speeches, he has kept the incident somewhat in the background, and which is more consistent with the best Negro thought. In some cases it is wise and good to be heard the lion in his den. In this case the wisdom is doubtful, in spite of the fact that the incident gave emphasis to the wrong we endured. We have never differed with Mr. Trotter a moment as to his effort at throwing down segregation. To have met the President was all it took the "scene" should have been foreign to the meeting. In the first place it seemed to give the President a preagreement we will say, which does not belong to him. Too much is conceded when an attempt is made towing from any one man rights that are common property. Our rights are not within the keeping of one man or a few men. Once such a situation is acknowledged we will find ourselves governed by knots of men or groups—commissions which would be no less than steering committees, and meant to placate, or ease whatever little anti-Negro feeling that might arise, and which easement would not add to our civil dignity. We have the utmost respect for Presidents; we have great respect for them personally, because they are Presidents. However, we will not forget that they are human and consequently biased as other people are. No man is absoluted by dice; no man is given away from his. We only ask that he stand for the greater rights, so that we be, at least, essentially citizens even if sheared of the frills of citizenship. In the meanwhile, we resign no contention for even the frills, but we are satisfied that unless the greater things come about, the lesser things can not follow. Nor should we ask this of any in- vident person, the same as should re- spect the last resort. fully set forth our grievance where it may get the widest publicity just where Mr. Trotter did, somewhat as an ultimatum, and then proceed to mobilize for the polls, just as Teutons and allies did for the field. It will be noticed that there was no wrangling in those notes sent from kingdom to kingdom. They stated and declared what were their views of their rights, and the world knows the rest—they are battling it out. We are no less kingly, or should not be less so in standing up for our known rights. No one man is powerful enough to concede them in a republic. Rights that one man can concede are not worth having. For, if he can concede them, he can also withhold them. Who cares for such a precarious citizenship? As we said at another time, in republics we take what is due us. We ask nothing. We go to the polls and take. We hope it is plain what man when we express ourselves as not being the other was right in arguing his case with the President. In a sense, we really out-Herod him in our stand for principle. But as for righteousness of our contention, as far out as it is, we submit it with sublime assurance to any man who can view himself in our stead and who knows what a republic is. We said that Mr. Trotter has somewhat changed in his speeches since the Negro press has discouraged the idea of making capital out of his meeting the President. The impression was that the incident was quite sufficient—the need of the business, and that the segregation wrongs were subsidiary. The segregation wrong is just as glaring as it ever was, and Mr. Trotter will be well within bounds as long as he makes it the animus of his attacks rather than the President of the United States.

Frank Montgomery was the chief comedy fun maker of the evening, who opened at this house last Monday evening, and his wife, Florence McClain, who is pretty and shapely in stature, was a near second to her hubby, if we are to judge from their uniform style in dancing. Josephine Tobias made her second appearance here and in the song, "Bleeding Moon," completely captivated, and Tom Lemonier's "Up Today" also made a hit. Arthur Allen and Jack Ginger Wiggins in an act put together based upon bygones of their past record, attracted those who had not seen them before, but still they amused. Mame Payne, the Spanish dancer, made her first appearance in two years and pleased.

Jones, Jr., a progressive young man, is now running a nobby little news agency at 284 East Thirty-fifth street. Mrs. Anna Morton, of St. Joseph, Mo., mother of Roy Morton, of Morton & Wilson, is in the city visiting her son, but looks more like a sister. Only think, I was the guest of Miss Fanny Wise and Billy Henderson at Mrs. Theodore Robinson's private dining room, 11 East Thirty-fourth street, Friday of the 19th. Billy and I were late. It's like this. When we arrived at their lodging residence on Wabash avenue, we waited in Billy's room on Monday. Frank was in her big abode upstairs, but word was sent down that she had gone. She was hungry, but we all dined together. Frank Montgomery and Florence McClain have arrived from dates at Clinton and LaCrosse, Iowa, on the Orpheum time. Williams' pool room, up over Harrison's restaurant against the New York State side, the States theatre, is doing a nice business, and has a good class of trade. It will probably surprise managers who linger in heathenism to hear me restate that I don't believe in published grievances against the French, less they deny the price to their side of the story as well. I could make this a long subject. I am the recipient of a book of Masonic poems from my esteemed friend, Frederick Grant Glimore, of Rochester, New York when he was a boy, and a brilliant mother, and his gift of talent is not surprising. He has written a play upon the Spanish. Amish war entitlement. The Proust novel has been commented upon favorably. Fairfax, Stafford & Dempsey in "Mrs. Eddy's Vacation," were very successfull. They played the guitar in theette. Madam Fairfax is booked for the Pacific coast and Australia. They will probably play in the Pacific coast and Australia. Madam Stafford and Pauline Dempsey are great fun makers in comedy and Madam Fairfax is an educated singer of ability. I was the guest of the Theodore Pankey on the menu at the New Hampshire fast home of Mrs. M. Lee. The stag party consisted of Miss Joan Searles's Perfumery, the New Hampshire Seth Weeks, Vance Lowery, Palmer Jones, Will Riley and Mr. Barnes, Will Brown of Brown & Barnes, and Mr. Seth Weeks, who was the guest. Theodore Pankey, now the highest salaried single on the Consolidated Klein time, has signed a one year contract with Marcus Loew. In an interview with artists who can audience to classy features. He said managers actors back, who were classy artists on the colored time by making them take off their act and part on some of the best songs that all good actors should stand out for a standard salary or else lose out. When Miss Joan Sawyer's Persian Garden Orchestra sent me a ticket to come to the Palace-theatre to see their headliner act, I had to go. Miss Sawyer is white actress from the South, I think Texas, with dark aburn hair almost chestnut, sharp blue eyes and a face that pictures more talent than beauty. As a dancer she was a great surprise. She is the most finished artist I ever saw in the society element and superior to the Castles. George Harcourt, the white man who supports her is also unexcelled, and he has an elastic swing that could make him a matinee idol. The colored boys were applauded to the echo. Why so? Because Weeks is authority on the mandolin, who has published a book of instructions issued by Francis Day Hunter in Europe and Vance Lowery was a perfect artist on the banjo and took a bow. The cello player, Reilly, is also a fine artist and the trap drummer was there with his cues. FAMOUS BALL PLAYER DIES AT CHATTANOOGA. Base Ball World Loses; Bright Star in Death of BILL Monroe.

But he played this winter. Before his death he professed a hope in Christ. LOUISVILLE BEATS INDIANAPOLIS. On Friday night of last week the local colored M. C. G. played the coed team at the Loyola gym that city, a game of basket ball, which was said to have been the hardest game in the Falls City gym. The local boys played the score of 6 to 5. This was the season the Hoods played against the Kentuckians this season, each game going to the credit The most commented feature of the game was the aggressiveness and by no means the stalwartism of the Indianapolis team. Thomas is known among the boys, played right guard, a position often times overlooked by spectators, from the first point to the second points for his team. "Wacker" played guard against H. F. Nixon, star for the Indianapolis team, and scored points for his team. Nixon has a wide reputation as a basket ball player, having played the game at some of the leading teams in the league. Nixon has a monogram at Howard University for his meritorious services to the university, basket ball team, and looked up by Nixon, who is an instructor in the Central High School there, as a sure point winner for the "Y" team.

Geo. Boutte and O. D. Carter, the dancing marvels with the company, have joined the company, their eccentric dancing throughout the North. Their talent is not limited to dancing, however. Both are competents in the dance, then cleverly. Carter is a good tenor, and Geo. Boutte acts in the capacity of stage manager. The boys have stage some pieces, playing numbers that are difficult to perform themselves invaluable to the company. Frank Jackson, the big boy with the sweet tenor voice, has become a general favorite everywhere. He has been with the present company not only as a performer but not only he the mainstay of the tenor section, but has always taken one of the princesses of the company. Frank's many friends in Virginia are planning to give him a rousing good time while enroute to the state. Miss Hattie Akers, of Washington, D.C., bids fair to become the leading female professional in the profession. She is gifted with a wonderful contralto voice that is the hit of the female orchestra is a graceful and fine elocutionist, and has a fine conception of comedy roles. Friends of Greensbury Holmes will be agreeably surprised to note the wonderful progress he has made since the beginning of the season 1911-1912, a highly character part of Baron La Fitz, one of the comedy hits of the show. Clarence G. Wilson, a graduate of Howard University, has made a record of success as a company. He is now able to handle the local orchestras with the skill of one of his peers. He has also become an arranger and composer. Look him over when he plays EAST. The Smart Set Company is now on its home stretch. Mr. T. L. Corwell, unanimous credit for piloting through such a disastrous season as the present, will be responsible for this year. He is responsible by the loyalty to the members of the company and the efficient work of J. Martin Free in addition to the members of the company will play East with the strongest chorus and cast of any colored show for many seasons.

Gray, 1221 Pine St.) The expert slack wire and the acrobatic stunts of the George Cole troupe will be the highlight of the Standard Theatre, at once aroused the onlookers to the greatest enthusiasm. Each of the troupe entwined with spirit has been applauded by the actor who was overflowing with merriment and joy. Even Robinson, who has been applauded by the actor who was doubled up with Cora Green when she has a chance to extend her sphere of graceful activity, and her ability to enjoy the costume used with so true a dramatic instinct that it alone would entitle her to more than passing recognition, might be the reason for her Vervalion Trio, in their musical novelty were very clever. S. H. Dudley and his male partner were minutes which kept the audience in continuous exhilaration. Goodbar and Lewis contributed a very enjoyable musical to the original material. Their action was brisk and full of vim and the singing of "While the river of love flows on" and his classy singing and the show were whistling and singing it on their way home. Robbins and Robbins who did some classy singing and the singing this week were wonderful, and there was an element of excitement that swept the sopranos in a high bind. Mr. John T. Gibson owner and manager of this beautiful theatre is making a number of new shows which will give more comfort to stage waited that go an error. Miss Walker will play a limited number concert engagements in the principal cities, after which time if conditions in curry go abroad and finish the engagements for which she was previously booked. Good for you, Tim, you hit the nail on the head that time. "Thems my sentiments." If there must be a "Fatsy Boliver" or a "jinx" to take the blame for bad business, Has Time is is the best of the times has staged and eliminating contest. Any feller what kin hold on thru a season like this one is a sticker and will make good any old place, or any old time. "Some times a lot of incompassible work in the past has been the masters carry them along, while the incomps get all the money, the glory and a swell head. But a season like this one will make theிரners show their hands. H. Dudley writes that you are lost money but the time is still fighting. Managers all along the line the same story to tell. They are making no money but they are fighting. Performers too are the thing that the moneys but these with while are still fighting. "It is a long lane that has no turning." It is the feller that don't know when he is licked that wins out in this game. Dudley, Tim Owsley, Gibraltar, and the other players are Robin, Lester Walton, other managers, and many other performers that I know and the whole bunch who have stuck with yours truly are going to be numbered among the winners. Then you can find the time when you are all at the times run up a flag of truce and all will get a big slice of prosperity when the peace settlement is made. the profession. Mr. Gibson says "The artists are human and they must have the same comfort as the audience enjoys." Mr. Gibson's presentment is an achievement in the theatre and in the opposing tremendous scale and is an effective realization that certainly must help to make history. He has done something so great and wonderful that printers ink could be it. It is worth going miles to see. WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H. DUD LEY CIRCUIT. Week of March 22, 1915. Washington, D. C—S. H.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ACE THE LOCAL NEWS TERMS ACCOMPLISH THE FINUTE First Photo of Jack Johnson Training for Heavyweight Ring Battle THE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE JACK JOHNSON AND JESS WIL LARD. Will Fight on Easter Sunday at 11 a.M. on Race Track—Road and "Gym" Training Ridely Reduces Fires of the Black Giant. HAVANA.—For the first time in the history of the ring, in all probability, a world's championship prize fight to a finish will be held on a Sunday—and Easter Sunday at that. This was decided by Promoter Richard Klegin of Havana, Cuba, in connection with the date for the Johnson-Willard battle, which had been set for Saturday, April 30. Jack Curley and Klegin today confirmed the report that the fight would take place April 4th, which is Easter, at 11 o'clock in the morning, at the Havana race track. The possibility of interference with the fight still exists, as opposition has developed among the owners of large plantations, who fear the battle between a white and black man may stir up dissension among their white and black employees, ending in fatal affairs. Some of the plantation owners are endeavoring to have the fight presented through President Menocal Havana is eager to see the show, however, and the chances are the contest will take place as scheduled. Is Johnson "All In?" A divided opinion exists as to Jack Johnson and his condition. Johnson reported here in no shape for a championship bout and weighing probably 225 pounds, but he agreed to get in condition for his bout at Juneau no one has been able to guess. Had he could stretch at 6 feet, he would have been at the shape for a finish fight at that time, by any possible system of training. Battling here, ready for a 20-round bout with a Cuban named Cortez, out with a strong roar against the black and white, he would have strong heavyweight will beat the black and that Willard is therefore a sure winner. His hips and knees are accumulating flesh, a very bad sign for an aging fighter. He reported here very fat and at obstacles of time of life and too limited a period to train for a finish contest." Other critics, however, maintain that his weight and condition for a hard bout when he competed in Hawaii, he was not grossly out of shape, and needed only a little flesh to train so much to bear out the latter view, for the big black goes through a hard day's grind without Johnson's Daily Grind. A number of newspaper men followed Johnson through his training here, estered by his skis and ski poles, shadow boxed and pinned the bag in succession for half-hour periods each. He then boxed and pinned the bag in partnership, merely toying with them while they extended themselves to the limit in an effort to land. Johnson also assumed his exercising, this time with heavy dumb-bells, shadow boxing and dancing about the hill to this, Johnson does a long road drill every morning, covering about 100 yards with dog trot. Altogether the champion is certainly making an honest effort to get into shape, whatever he intended doing for the Juarez Johnson is confident—this is not the hackeyed statement of the scrapers, whatever the real conditions. Johnson honestly believes Willard is a joke and that the ten years difference between his superior skill and experience.

Curley seems to have everything fixed as regards the municipal permits, but troubles are looming up from provincial and national quarters. The provincial governor has expressed himself as being opposed to any contest between a negro and a white man, owing to facial feelings.
