Mr. Nathaniel Dett, now at the head musical department of Hampton Academy, will play Tuesday night at the John Wesley A. M. Zion church that deputy stirred the crowd, young people of the nation's capital, and presented some selections that inks play the mastery of the instrument program were Hugh Buchanan of the tenor, and Harris on Emanuel, also of the tenor, and Miss Euphemia Lotton, soprano. Man of this city, was the accompanist, and students was large, fashionable and The Caucus That Was Not Held Despite the strenuous efforts put forth in certain quarters to disguise the situation, the fact stands out bold and strong, and there is going on, with increasing fervence, the most teaching fight within the school system that this community has ever known. The more people want to change in school and the forces of the administration of the colored school, with the help of the administration, are battling for their very lives. The latest sensation is the calling off of secret cuscs that was to have been held with the next day of education last Tuesday night. The confab was preliminary to the regular meeting of the board, which was to have been held the next day plan was to thresh everything out at private meeting, count noses for the program that might be best worked out for the accomplishment of objects in view, and then present a solid front at the regular meeting, with the running gear of the "steam- roller" in apple-pie order. But, the "secret" got out—all its secrets do in WWE. It was also such effective blows in the two days they had to counter-check the movement. But, WWE was also the regular meeting which the program of the caucus was to have been put into action. It would have been a "good scheme" had it fallen. Hence no caucus and no meeting. The board will meet on the 18th, but all is dark as to what may happen. "Rule 45," which auto-communicates with the board, marries, will be one of the questions up for consideration. The broadmind-ing of the board up in arms against the continuation of the clad rule that prevents the board from meeting in the land, and they will be heard from in no uncertain tone. The board seems to stand in mortal dread of the problem. There is "music in the air." Bishop Walters' Appeal. Bishop Alexander Walters has issued an appeal to the Zion churches throughout the connection for dollar contributions for the relief of the new church in M. R. E. of this city, recently purchased from a wealthy white congregation for $61,000—and a great bargain at that church. That is the character and is one of the finest temples of worship in the country. Everybody; in and out of Zion, should rejoice in the bishop's send in a dollar. The bishop's local address is 1309 R Street Northwest. Material for Board of Education Material for membership on the Board of Education seems to trifle shy, but the battle for the place now held by Dr. Charles H. Murray is young. He is the youngest person by the Supreme Court three years ago, but who did not qualify on account of his age, and who does not now accept the position on a silver platter. Assistant Librarian of Congress Daniel Murray, also mentions his appointment, denies that he is a candidate for M. Q. Dumas, a candidate, although deeply interested in the schools. Others whose merits are being held in this connection are Horses Thomas H. Walker, H. C. Tyson and last but by no means leaves Washington Bee. The job is without salary and is a thankless task, but it rarely goes a-begging, and the useful service. We shall not the entries as they appear between now and July 14, 2014, and added Counselor Thomas L. Jones, who, it is said, can have the appointment without a candidate, and who is not favorites, naming and promotion of teachers, and who is not content to be a register. The result will hinge largely upon the attitude of the candidate with respect to the present address. The popular sentiment is in favor of a change. Mu-So-Lit Club Adopts New Constitution. The April meeting of the Mu-So-Lit Club was given over almost entirely by the new constitution and the consideration of a decennial celebration function. The constitution was pulled out of its features, but the decennial observance, as planned by the executive committee, is still in the form of them or another, is very likely, as the committee is revising its program to meet the wishes of the masses of the Mu-So-Lit Club and the Mu-So-Lit Club are always heated, but the "boys" mean no harm—just like to have a man riotous on the country lines, they felt their brains from the INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1915. routine of the school room, the governmental departments or professional societies, the business session and the luncheon, the business session to interesting and witty speeches and to exceptional of the "Smart Set" company, which had been doing a record week at G.A.

Hill, principal of the Church of Bethel, is a recent visitor to the city, speaking at the M. Street high school. He reports an efficiency in his school of teachers. A local paper says "there is no school fight on" in this community. There is a fight going on and it is the bitterest that the District has ever fought here, too, in times past. The Bruce administration is on trial for the death at all. The vigorous opposition says a change in the head must come, or a change in the entire system will be necessary.

The game was won by Bennett, 6 to 2. The feature of the game was the fielding of the ball. The game was at A. and T. The attendance at this game was the largest that has been played at Bennett. Batteries: A. and T. Hunter and Bell; Bennett, Hutton and Newsome. Very keen, as the alumni and friends of these colleges were out in force. But as Bennett was not in the batting in four runs, the A. and T. rooters did not have chance to make a noise, but with the Bennett team they made will long be remembered.

Donn Roberts and company at Leavenworth are on the job. Some of the boys have been assigned duties which are very unlike those that they were used to. "Make Me a Child Again" is the old song. Peeling potatoes and such bring back the recollections of those care free and happy days. The full tide of spring is on. Early vegetables are looking more strengthful because they have had more sun. Lettuce, the divinest colored of the vegetable set, is now a blend of gold, green and yellow. And as good as it tastes under the very best treatment, it can never equal its looks. Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the Fourth Episcopal district of the C. M. E. church, who recently in the city, says that the work here is in good condition. In fact the church is prospering so well that he thinks of making extensive improvements, or changing location. He is very much better in health. The Indiana Newspaper Conference will be held at Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind., April 29 and 30. An interesting program will be the feature of the meeting. Some of the best newspaper men will tell ways and means of making a successful newspaper. Invitations have been extended to all of the newspaper men of Indiana. An African publication, speaking of the need of a steamship, says: "Fancy our women traveling in an open serf boat from Bassa to Monrovia because they are refused passage by a steamer that calls in our harbor, and at Monrovia, as it happened on the 26th ult., with the Conference members, and some ladies who were compelled to go to Monrovia, and were on sea three days." We have no idea how far it is from Bassa to Monrovia; we think the distance is only a few miles. Three days at sea strikes us as something of an experience. Better get a few of our motor boats. They would cut it in a hurry. Yes, the dear Liberians need something to travel in. The "Birth of a Nation," the $2,000 moving picture proposition, is having trouble. He was petted with eggs at the Liberty Theatre, New York, last week. The eggs, fortunately, were not ancient, nor did they strike the screen. Nevertheless they played havoc with the orchestra people, putting them to rout. The "cannoneer" was a young white man. He was arrested, and when asked about his assault he said that the pictures made him mad because of their injustice to the colored people. The young-man's name is Howard Schaffle, a reporter and manuscript reader. He was held in $500 ball, charged with disorderly conduct. Those "shots" may be like those of Fort Sumter that were heard around the world. NOT A CANDIDATE. Senator Borah says that he is not a candidate for the presidency. The Senator seems to be qualified all right. But he is not quite orthodox on the race question. We come up in our schools viewing presidents as ideal men, just as the good child thinks of a good father. The father may not be what it thinks, but the impression the father leaves is the thing. Children soon become men and women. They are startled when they find that this book learned idealism is not the real thing. President Wilson is a teacher, and has been a pupil. He should be able to see how the child minds public men. An Uncle Tom Cabin's show was in this city a short time ago. The little white girls and boys resented them, and done Uncle Tom even glorified them in getting back at Miss Ophelia. This was good to see—good for a Negro to see. It was their sense of justice taught through books and the promptings of their own unwarm hearts. Little colored children are like them. They think of great men in a sort of sense of righteous idolatry—thinking they can do no wrong, and if they do, they know it as by intuition. So when Mr. Wilson or any other president is quoted as being against the rights of a people, they at once think times are out of joint—something is wrong. We mean, now, the grown up children who have not departed from the truth as not yet deserved them so aptly put. Why not preserve the idealism. It is shocking to know that the nation can swerve from the strict line of right in the least degree. Expediency sometimes compels unusual things, otherwise men at the head of nations should be as righteous as they can conceive righteousness to be. If Mr. Borah does not feel that he can subscribe to such a platform he should forsake his ambition along the line if he has any. AS OTHERS OF HIS KIND. We are nothing with Jack Johnson's wrongdoings whatever they are, or have been. We have always maintained that they were not especially offensive. Not that he should escape whatever punishment was due him, but that he was as other men of his kind. A white publication of Ottawa, Canada, observed as follows: "When the Negro was revived he remarked with a feeble smile, 'The best man won.'" "Thirty years of heavyweight ring battles between white pugilists did not produce a remark like that of the uneducated Negro. Sentiment was overwhelming against the colored champion in all countries—he had been guilty of offenses which are unhesitatingly condoned in the case of white men in similar circumstances. Of the thousands who witnessed the contest probably less than a few score hoped for a victory, for the Negro. All will fight the fight he was subjected to insulting remarks from the spectators and badgered by the active partisans of his opponent; he was made to feel that his defeat was to be encompassed at all costs. Yet—"the man man won." The point we wish to emphasize is that "he had been guilty of offenses which are unhesitatingly condoned in the case of white men in similar circumstances." We like the testimony coming as it does from white men as against white men. Not that publication alone, but many others by the white people, have said something similar, and the truth of it all is so forceful that Champion Willard has lost much of the sweets of his victory. So after all there is a semblance of adjustment right here on earth. While they were bent on "killing" Jack Johnson also succeeded in killing his successor. The sense of justice is tortured to eminence by pieces of evidence, paying often the salvation of the individuals and peoples. This is a better preachment than much of that which has been making the rounds about man's true estate being higher than that of the brute and the rest of it. The fight had its other victory, Johnson's struggle had its victory greater than Johnson knew. He intensified the race struggle it is true, but he merely drove it to a head, and which has been slashed by sober, thoughtful men who finally reflected that the Negroes and Johnson are men and citizens, creatures of the same source, and bound to the same eternity. To damn them was to indict the very Creator, and to judge Him foolish for whatever He has done, even to the creating of the earth and all things on it—falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. AN ASSOCIATE JUSTICE REMOVED Several weeks ago we called attention to the removal from the bench of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Liberia, Africa, Associate Justice McCants Stewart. The action appeared so summary and dangerous as a precedent that we concluded to call attention to it at another time when we were fully advised as to the particulars. Since that time the judge, a Liberian colleague, has reached this office. It throws light on the subject, and which, as we view it, is not helpful to the little republic. We have no special interest in the controversy; and it has reached a state of controversy, the article appearing headed, "The Court Must Decide" in the African publication. While we are not especially interested yet there are reasons why the case is of more than passing interest to the Negroes of this country, also to many white people who have been the mainstay of that country. Liberia shines by a borrowed light. If there were no America there would be no Liberia. Our country has been paternal in the utmost sense, concealing and booming the African republic, and since which time we have watched and nursed its growth. Liberna is supposed to refect our own government as to form. It is nearly a fac simile, and because of which we are proud of it as a parent should be when seeing his own indoors as his children. This means that its institutions are as staid as our own; that capriciousness is not statecraft; that institutions gather sanction as time advances. Courts are respected institutions in our land. The very Supreme Court has dignity and place unassailable—well nigh sacred. If the courts could be pictured as ancient temples the Supreme Court would be the sanctum sanctorum. Religious care is exercised when men are selected for that bench. We think of their selection much like we think of the selection and ordination of men for the bishopric, as popes are called from the cardinalate, and which candidates approach their high offices with fear and trembling, and as it should be in attest of the knowledge of the burden of responsibility. That a state is small does not lessen the nature of the office. Perhaps we wrong the little country when we say that it has struck at its own stability when it decided to remove a justice of its Supreme Court without cause. If there was cause it is not made apparent. Mr. McCants Stewart was formerly of New York, and was well known throughout the states. This fact does not help the status of the situation, nor does it hurt, we should think. We should feel the action of the Liberian Congress, this, we think, because he knows what it means to be a supreme court justice, and also what it means for a supreme court of justice to be dismissed from office. In his complaint he says when writing to a friend: 1. I have been, as you know and as the records show, Associate Justice without dispute from the month of February, 1929, 19, 19, 19. 2. On said October 29, 1914, without any notice having been given me and without allowing any information to me, I was denied the right to 1914, that my removal from office was under consideration by the Legislative and executive branches of the government, as was the notice of removal from the office of Associate Justice of this court, the following being a true copy of the contents thereof, towit: Monrovia, Liberia, October 29, 1914. Honorable T. McCants Stewart, Associate Justice Supreme Court, R, L Sir:—I have the honor to inform you that you are hereby removed from the Court of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Liberia in keeping with a joint resolution of the Legislature passage a copy of which is herewith enclosed. Your obedient servant, D. E. HOWARD L. Joint resolution remitting T. McCants THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Stewart, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, from office; It is enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Republic of Liberia in Legislature assented. Section 1. That from and immediately after the passage of this joint resolution the President of this joint resolution and arrest the removal of Mc Canta Stewart, Associate Justice of Supreme Court of the Republic of Liberia, from office, and appoint another in his stead, to draw to the contrary notwithstanding. Passed by two-thirds vote of both House of Representatives in Legislature. Approved October 28, 1814. 3. That previous to said October 29, 1914, there had been no dispute, or controversy, or trouble of any kind between myself and the executive, but on the contrary there existed, so far as I know, the most cordial relations about a week immediately preceding said October 29, 1914, in company with Mr. Justice Johnson (the Chief Justice being absent From the House and the House of Representatives and we were most cordially received by both bodies, the vice president and the House of Representatives and response to our addresses was made by a member of the Senate who was appointed to convey to us the evidence here will, perhaps, be said to be ex parte, because it is wholly *f*~m Mr. Stewart. However, the statement has been given wide publicity, and doubtless covers the facts. It may be that there were secret charges preferred and of which it may be that he knows, and also that those "impeaching" him know. In view of the fact that there were no charges made the deposed man concludes his dismissal was the result of a plan agreed on by political leaders to make a place for Amos Witersherson in fulfilment of a political promise. Mr. Stewart sets out the case in full, in fourteen lengthy paragraphs which in substance reduces to the facts; that the necessary two-thirds of the members did not vote against him as the constitution required; that the notice of removal was not based upon an address to the president by two-thirds of the House; that it is in violation of the constitution for the legislative and executive to arbitrarily interfere with the tenure of a judicial officer; that judges of the supreme court, and all other judges of the lower courts, during good behaviour; that when removed by the president on the address of two-thirds of both houses the particular reason must be stated. Mr. Stewart will not give up his office, according to his statement, holding that the validity of the appointment and removal of the members can not be the subject of inquiry on the part of any inferior tribunal, nor be at the pleasure or under the control of any other department of the government as this court is the supreme branch of the judiciary. Mr. Stewart has the best of the situation unless he is arbitrarily put out of office he will still be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia. NEWS OF DAYTON, OHIO.

THEODORE PANKEY, MATINEE IDOL, INDIANAPOLIS. Theorelce Pankey, the leading ju- bile actor and matinee idol, was in the guest of Madame Walker, and to suggle and recite at her reception, Mrs. Oliver went to much expense in sec- tioning her rehearsal for this grand affair. The little actor talked with the life of a school boy, well as looking the part. He has been a teacher on the dance floor past few weeks and speaks at length toward the future of colored play- theatre. He was asked if colored show buses were on the dance floor he said. The future looks brighter than ever in life, as there were more dancers in the theatre and better at the dance floor. He was 25 years time from New York City to chicago one of the largest Negro cir- cus in the world, being equipped to die and vauduille, with a mixed clin- cine. The thing that is holding us back is these would be managers and staff, and the progress is still in sight. The church has done a great deal to ham- ple Negro theatres. For instance, a press conference of Robinson, who is leading soils, stands in the pulpit and de- pends on his flock for going to de- plete the duties of modern times along the line of education. The race at large will be better off when such preachers are able to speak people in ignorance, little do such men know the good the theatre has done know the bad and hardly the cause of us being free, like have been such a help to every one that have boards have sanctions them readily."

The week of April 6th the performers in Cincinnati laying off decided to do something to help defray laying off expatriates, actors ramele and midnight matinees in the city, and we grand success both financially and artistically, Mr. Dempsey very kindly and acutely in the Lincoln theatre or the affair, and it was ticketed. In fact 300 or more were turned away. Mr. Arthur Porter was carded as feature attraction, surrounded by such Davenport, Green & Fugh, Pr. Snow, Minor & Minor, and the ever popular Ike Paul. Col. Brown handled the crowd in an intelligent and experiential manner, never let me hear anybody else say that Dempsey is not the performer's friend. At the Lincoln: Goodbar & Lewis' singing and dancing act scored nicely as openers. Mr. Housley, the band's lead singer, are proud that he is a Cincinnati produce, also his talented little wife. Houseley & Nicholas closed with the band's new album. They are playing their first engagement on small time, and are a scream. Matt Houseley is also a Cincinnati boy. NOTES. Col.

When Fred Rogers, the romancing dancer, who stands alone in his class, met a real act, with a real act, made people scream. Ed Peat and Benny Jones, lately doubled, met a real act. Meyers & Meyers were a clever young team who could return popular with a new act and W. A. Kelley, a fair musician, whose comedy did not live with his tramp clothes, managed to please. Bosan & Granger and Charles Anderson at the Monogram. Alonzo Bosan and Owen Granger, two most exhilarating eccentric comedians, are fine singers, actors and dancers, who will sing and that could hold any kind of an audience. The mamy character actor and yodler, who imitates a violin, also made a hit with his performance of 'Blues' was southern perfection that others can't approach, and he is a great dress suit, who wears a winning smile and is a wonderful singer. The cremant gave us good vocal performers who please colored folks and Brown & Brown returned popular and popular songs, and songs, and special music, and the soubrette must be careful not to overact. For Brown & Brown's team was billed as Blaine & Brown. PROGRAMS OF THE MOVIES States—Saturday, 24th, Uncle Sam at Work; Sunday, 25th, Lilly of Poverty Flat. Linecol—The Duchess, 24th; the Lure, 25th.

Anna Overton, who appeared at the old Monogram last week, is no relation to the late Alda Overton Walker as a former manager. She is a former coming north she should not have been headlined by interior managers to deceive the public. Miss Overson, who is a former personality, will soon become a very good performer. Her songs of the lower south, which were well rendered did not appeal strongly to northern ingenuity, as she gets a new stereotype of solemn themes unsuggestive, she will win out.

Editor of Freeman. THE NEW GLOBE THEATRE JACKSONVILLE, FLA By Roseborough. At performances such as are given at the Globe, there are invariably in their own estimation are more advanced in the art than the ones on the object of criticizing. These individuals find themselves so completely mystified when attending the show at the Globe, that they any more stand on the street to chatter. The Globe show is full of sideburns, and the most absurdly funny incidents. There is an uproar of laughter from the start to the finish. Every act bears the weighty to the highest principal of perfection. This is indeed the best bill the Globe has offered this year. Tommy Parker and Lean Wiggins the star of the show he has been before the footlights has caused the audience to become so insistent in their encounters that the performers always stopped until the ovations are over. Stovall & Stovall. This act is unique. They are so sure do convulse any audience with sure convulse any audience with Jones & Jones. The soubrette and the Jew have an unctuous humor flowing gently and growing as it flows. You smile lightly, and their humor is loudly. Their comedy is quietly related and their infections humor carries you with them in narrative. Mr. Jones makes you laugh without effort to himself and therefore his humor is Burns & Burns make their presence a pleasure to the audience with their new and witty talk. Mr. Burns' burns is parentally comedic, amusing throughout his act, strikes home at every thrust. Mrs. Burns is a singer whose efforts are successful. Her repercussions, rendered in a manner all her own, places her as one of the race's sweetest singers. Bessie Brown & Estellier Harris Are old favorites who have returned to another engagement. They have lost their love for the country. Billie Young & Goldie Chappelle have framed one of the prettiest female acts seen around her for some time. How long will they stay together. Eddie Jones is the sweet man among the show folks. The Breakers Pool Room is the headquarters. The great Thelmia is resting at his hotel. Outside an amusing joke was "pulled" the actor out of theatre the other night. An actor said to me that an awful catastrophe would happen in Jacksonville in the year of 1917. When I asked what would it be, he replied that the New Strand Theatre will open. ROGERS' GREATER SHOWS. "SUNNY SOUTH BEFORE THE WAR." R. M. B.

JOHNNIE WOODS AND LITTLE HALLEN, AND WIGGINS Minor and Minor at The New Crown Garden Theatre, Indianapolis, Tim E. Owsley, Prop. The patrons of the Crown were extremely fortunate in seeing a bunch of performers as seldom get together on one bill. Johnnie Woods and Little Henry, Ventriloquist. Allen and Wiggins, Comedians, Dancers. Allen and Wiggins are a standout team. Both are clever all the way, and they are fun—their line of talk is good and entertaining. They kept the house going time. Allen's dancing is rather grotesque yet that are positively his own creation. Wiggins is particularly nappy in his partner. He is considered opposite of his partner. He is considered buck dancer. However, he did that George Walker, style of prancing that always makes a hit when done well. Wiggins does it well. Allen sings his own song hit. That's All, That's All. He over "Alabama Dreams" and "When It Is Night Time Down in Dixie Land." They close with "When They Let a Minor and Minor, Comedian and Straight. Minor and Minor are known to Indianapolis theaters. The male partner among the real good comedians among the real good comedians talk which helped nicely along by the female end of the firm. She is of age and has a good voice. Pearceance and dresses well. She does a pretty Yoddle song, done in good style, and with a good voice. They play in the Town, a spirited number which puts the audience in a pleasing frame of mind. They do the "Hobo's Trip" in good style, and recalling recalling recalling recalling. Minor, "That's My Business," one of his song successes. In fact, all the songs they use are his own composition. Brown and Pinkey Entertainers. When Brown and Pinkey are on the bill something good is expected, and they always talk. They are good, good, good talks. They are thought by many to be the cleverest sister team in the business. As dancers they are also pleasing singers. They make a hit with their pranks, which are also a special feature of their work. Mr. Eugene Clark, of the Robinson Shows, was in Indianapolis Tuesday, the show opening in Peru, Ind. today. He will be in Mills Hall Friday evening, April 30th. AMERICAN GIANTS ON COAST.

The great State of Pennsylvania has taken a long stride in the right direc- tion. It has grown more than two-thirds majority. Under this bill the colored people are entitled by law to all the privileges that the whites enjoy and which should be protected by the right of being American citizens. Death has reaped grim harvest in our professional ranks the past year. Many of our brightest lights have passed into the great unknown and we who have been there have been. Some have died in the very flower of womanhood and manhood, and we lament that they yet are a little while. But they are some of those who have gone who should be with us still. They are that some of those who have made of those pleasures that destroy health and life. We, of the theatrical profession meet with many temptations. We are dependent upon the public, and we are unable to make unreasonable demand upon our time and health. There is little hope for the girl or the man who knew how and how to say no, and mean it. When asked to take another drink, say no emphatically and stay and stay and stay the sensible limit, say no; goodnight! and go home to bed.

After fourteen years out of the circus business, this season, 1915, finds me back under the white tops, riding one horse and steering it around the arena spent at Salisbury, N. C., the present winter quarters of the show. Our Lantern under the horse called to Salisbury on April 5th, so we were in good shape for the opening date April 12th. Long before time for the parade, the streets parade left the grounds and it was a grand affair. The local lodge of Elks headed the parade. Our business was to sell the parade tickets just fine for the occasion. After one week out we are spending Sunday in Princeton, a nice little town around the show running as smoothly as if it One need not fear for the girl or boy that knows how, when and where to saat. Barring accident or a legacy of ill health forced upon us by our ancestors, it is up to you to limit the limit of three score and ten years, upon this mundane sphere.

SMART SET IS LIVELY SHOW. Once more we are able to chronicle the advent of that peer of all colored singers and dancers, "The Smart Set" company. This noted organization, presented the talent of a new female musical comedian, "His Excellency the President," at the Apollo Theatre yesterday. It plays there today, tomorrow, and now. He is the head of production, of course, is Salma Tutt Whitney, who with this engagement makes his debut as a talented comedian whose talent is a star of wide magnitude need little introduction to local theatre-goers, wrote the piece with Mr. Whitney. Apparently the combination has proven an unusual triumph. The vehicle was written and conceived for the purpose of having a hit the mark of public approval. If last night's audience proves anything, the offering is sure to make a mark on the season. As Mr. Whitney says himself: "I have the best part of my career, even if I wrote it.

Alex. Marks 654 Broadway, New York City UNIVERSAL LOCATION OF THE GUARDED SPORTS OFFICIAL WORLD FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE REAL WORLD LOCATIONS ACCOMMODATE THE FINALTE EDITORIAL EXPRESSIONS FROM NEGRO PRESS-SIMILAR VIEWS ANENT THE JOHNSON WIL- LARD FIGHT. (By. Billy Lewis.) The Negro press as a rule has fought a lot of prize fighting, boxing and sporting in general. It was particularly true past. In recent years there has been a change in publications are gradually getting away from the thought that sport is "sinfun." The press is stood in the thought. The great press deals in sporting events just as it deals in other news that the people want. It must be necessary to enter the accusation kind in short news would be best to do in our publication. In short, I think it wisdom to do what is being done generally by the white publica- tions. I idea seems to be growing. When Johnson fought at Reno many of our publication members mention the fact that Johnson won. The white press has been so persistent that the race journals have nightlight by example that the members were worth while. Havana has a concentration from 60 per cent of race publications. Some of these were exceedingly lengthy; as much as a column in a newspaper took a book view of the fight, speaking of it more cerebrally, saying in subtitle that prize fighting was not all of life. Following are editorial comments seen among our publications. When lenely I have chosen to give extracts only. Of course, this provides sometimes the best knitting, because an extract is only that, and hence may miss the mark. Some of the editorials are giv- The Kansas City (Mo.) Sun: Jack Johnson has been defeated and will sow row after row. Some of the disappointment which this reverse carries is relieved by the fact that he is extravagant reveller and a maker of race hatred. Negroes have naturally enjoyed Johnson's ring success, but he has not for all the fun they have gotten out of it. Jim diamond Planet; One who can will读 impartially the reports of the championship fight at Havana last Monday will win" or in the championship mourning colored brother "he sold out". Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va.: Jack Johnson lost his title as champion of all pilgrims on Easter Monday afternoon. It was just a case of pincushioning. Corbett, Fitzsimons and Vivielis in turn lost the championship to the best of the pack, holding the honor for a long time, and has successfully defended it against four of the best. That means that the The Saturday News, Hopkinsville, Buck Johnson from the town of Jack Johnson from the town of the world ought to have the effect to rid the white people of the insom- sure state, since Johnson, young and seven years. Since Johnson, young and active, punched the corpulent and lob- sted-fired Jim Jefferies in the paunch and became champion, in a good white emulgence from his nights conjuring out white hopes to wrest the honor and the other emul- gressions from his nights conjuring out white hopes to wood and a drawer of water, but as a heaver of solar plexes and a drawer from the nose of a white man — Never. The Christian Review, Philadelphia: the defeat of Jack Johnson the Ne- gro proud Anglo Saxon has only restored to himself Saxonian static supreme- great things and movements of this age. This is an age in which the highest and best in man rules; and no measure of a man or a peculiar peac Mustate Reporter, Helena, Ask for Johnson, or John Arth, as is his admirers. He has been the real representative of his class in the sporting life of it he has been deposed, and we might add that it is well that he has been. We have fully enough, of Jack Johnson or anybody of his class for the next century to come, for he has been more accustomed to us as a race, than a credit as to his trail in debaucheries from one end the United States to the other. But we are not going any further with this credit, and glad he has been relegated to the rear. the Illinois Idea, Chicago: Mr. merely has fallen from the political elite who have lived in which he lived, which in no way should have been touched upon as a asset or deficiency. It was not at any asset or deficiency. It was not at any asset or deficiency. It was merely a world of sports, which holds its place off from the things necessary to the common good of community interest. It has been "too much Johnson" in the most broad and literal meaning. As it has been held up before the people of Chicago to the cultured or material progress of the Negro, a something to be prepared from a racial standpoint. Just a raid to understand. A prizefighter is a prize fighter, he be black or white, a claim to no certain part of society. As to the merits of the fight, it is welcome to his or her opinions. The one truth is, there will be failure because of the escapes of a teacher being charged to the racial war of the Negro, and we can conclude that this is worth than all the sacrifices of mind that could be won. had been rewarded: Jack Johnson had a remarkable career as a prize winner. He demonstrated that only a Negro can. His win was against the world but his success as a sportsman he fought his way to top, has made history for the surreal world and like all champions he surreptitiously crowned to youth strength. The greatest Jack Johnson has had to battle with prejudice. Had he as cautioned that he was in fighting the giants of the old his world would have conquered, and the land of his birth, in sympathy with the people it pitsiteously persecuted and case him the white race, simply be Afro-American, Baltimore, Md.: too much can not eat one's cake and have too old saying but is as appalled in the case of himself in the case of one's "Jack" survival. That Jack could, in all to come, barring accidents, and NEW PARK, ST. LOUIS, MO., GIANTS, SHOWING 33 BOXES. would in all probability have been able to retain the championship for those years had he paid attention to proper training, as he has gone down in defeat because of it, but that vitality he might have had had he en proper attention to right living in order to gaining his strength in riotous living. And he can not eat his cake and have it too. The Colorado Statesman, Denver: The team is no doubt but the anxiety for the return is better championship to the white race was better expressed, and now that the fact is established of the gratifying and satisfying expressed, and now that the threats which have been heaped both on Johnson and the race because he was champion, he pass away with the wife of the boxing, a great sportsman and a man who has ability to be ranked among men of the best business acumen of the country, his advice and well wishes to Willard, J. Jess, I wish you all the luck you could wish yourself. Southern Indicator, Columbia, S. C: From all official sources that the Negro champion after twenty runds voluntarily allowed himself to be knocked out. Nobody believes the races cares whether the black parallitum won or lost. We are really glad for the sake of the stigma from our people brought by the immoral conduct of Jack Johnson. Jack indeed was the fly in our racial battle; he carried Jack Johnson the race and a dear carer; he would soon and sooner or later we would have been compelled to cry out, "O wretched man that I have been delivered to deliver me from the body of this dead." The Chicago, Ill., Defender: Whether it was fixed or on the square only time it was today we take it for granted that the man we have hats gracefully to Jess Willard. What is said pro or con about the fight now matters little; what the effect will be on the world has ever been man acknowledged even today to be the greatest man in the ring from every point of view, the world has ever been man acknowledged even today that man is heir to, come his face faced his opponent in the ring as one lone man against the world, that for some altruistic authorities be enough to upset any ordinary man, and yet he faced it all bravely and the best he could set up circumstances.

St. Paul—With supporters of the measure predicting its passage, the Minnesota senate today had before by the house last Wednesday legalizing ten-round no-decision boxing contests in the three first class cities of the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth. The reception given Willard at the Lyric in New York was somewhat of a frost, only about 600 persons being present in an auditorium that seats over 2,000. Willard gave an exhibition for three rounds with Walter Monahan and for another considerable speed. There were no calls for a speech and the crowd was not over enthusiastic. NEW YORK—Champion Jess Willard appeared at the West Chester A. M. School for night, but did not box his scheduled game there was less than $750 guarantee in the house.

Welsh fell for the old trick, glanced down and came within an ace upcent to his jaw. Wagner hooked an upcent to his jaw, and prised to find the champion early for the bluff that he didn't wallop as effec- tively as Wagner made Welsh tight hard all the way. The champion had a slight shade. MILWAUKEE—Joe Cantillon, manager of the Minneapolis club, is the world today Joe.

NEW YORK, April 15—Jess Willard has sued a film manufacturing company on the ground that the concern has vided an agreement he made with it on January 8. In his complaint Willard alleges that the company series of pictures to be known as "The Heart Punch." All of the expenses of the film were paid to defendant concern, which must to pay him 25 per cent. of the gross receipts. Willard alleges that the concern sold the film to a film company that "Fictitious prices" were charged for the purpose of defrauding him. He said that the prices charged for the film were disproportionate to their value. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. To the editor of the "Ark": We will publish news of the contests you mention. Jackson, Miss., April 13, 1915. Mr. Editor Dear Sir: Was Johnson compelled to fight Sirard? Could he have refused the commission title until his death, or could he have been forced to fight or default after a reasonable length of time. We prefer referring the question to higher sport authority. Our opinion, however, is that Sirard can not refuse the commission title swirs his demands by way of terms. By qualified man we mean one in his division and in the popular opinion a commission or board for adjusting his demands in a fitness sense have been the determining agencies. When Johnson was in Paris there was an attempt to formulate a commission or board to have been international in scope for mediation on such questions. It did not carry. If there is anything more important, will publish same. If Willard refuses to fight a Negro, and is sustained, it is because he is supported by public opinion. THE EDITOR.
